Kim Sun Jae.
Sun Jae.
How can this be?
Is that really you, Detective Park?
How do you know each other?
And why are we talking about Mother?
30 years ago...
the detective that investigated your mother's case...
Sir,
you must have mistaken him for someone else.
He is only 30 years old.
He wasn't even born then.
Really? Then...
why does he look like Detective Park Kwang Ho?
Sir,
let's go have some coffee.
Come here. This way.
Let's have coffee.
Who are you?
What is this about?
Answer me. How do you know my mother's name?
Answer me!
In 1986,
I investigated on her case.
You jerk.
That doesn't make any sense.
Are you going to say that you came from the past again?
Answer me truthfully.
I will kill you if you are lying to me.
I'm sorry...
I couldn't catch the culprit.
Sun Jae.
That can't be true.
You really investigated the case?
That can't be true.
Kim Sun Jae.
You need to go to the hospital. Your mother is there.
How can this be possible?
The soldier was Sun Jae's father.
I didn't think we would meet him again like this.
No,
but we did meet him again somehow.
(Episode 8)
It's nothing.
Your father must have called again.
Are you all right?
Seeing you here makes me feel much better.
I should be hospitalized often...
so that I can see you more often.
I'm sorry.
This morning,
I went to your mother's grave.
She told me she wasn't feeling well since morning.
I should have brought her here right away.
It's my fault.
I can't seem to be able to look after...
the dead nor the living.
At the police station,
the detective you were talking about,
the one that investigated mother's case...
Was he really named Park Kwang Ho?
Yes, he was.
Detective Park Kwang Ho.
I must have been mistaken.
I heard that he died while investigating a case.
It can't be him.
I went to see your mother this morning.
That's probably why I thought he was the detective.
What an irony of fate.
We met him again in Hwayang Police Station.
On top of that, his son became a cop.
My goodness.
I was going to track down and kill...
the guy that murdered my mother.
But what difference does that make?
Do you know what the victims want the most?
It's to make the culprit stand up in court and admit his or her crime...
and see that person do their time in prison.
Sun Jae...
became a cop because of his mother.
Pardon?
He became a cop to catch the culprit.
I should've caught the culprit back then.
Then he wouldn't have had to become a cop.
Which hospital is it?
(Hwayang University Hospital)
Sun Jae, you've grown so much.
Sun Jae.
You're all grown up now.
It's here.
I came here from the past through this tunnel.
But why? For what reason?
I was trying to catch that culprit.
Which culprit?
The jerk who murdered...
six women including your mother.
This is the tunnel that Jin Seon Chul was talking about.
Let's go inside.
It's here.
This is where Jin Seon Chul's sister, Jin Seon Mi, died.
So he was a serial killer?
That term didn't even exist back then.
We thought the culprit would be an acquaintance of the victim,
so we searched every single person who knew her.
But we couldn't find a suspect.
We normally catch the culprit within three days.
But we couldn't find who it was even after a month.
On top of that, people kept dying.
Lee Jung Sook, Kim Kyung Soon, Hwang Choon Hee, Seo...
Seo Yi Soo,
Kim Young Ja, and Jin Seon Mi.
Wait. Did you say Kim Young Ja?
Yes.
How do you think I knew who she was only after looking at her leg?
It was because of the dots on her heel.
The crazy jerk always left a mark on the person he murdered.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
I knew it was the same culprit after I saw the dots.
I tried so hard to find the guy who killed my mother.
But the case records were all gone because of a fire accident,
and I couldn't even find out who was in charge of investigating the case.
I couldn't find a single newspaper article. But dots?
The stuff you're telling me...
is something that I've never even heard of.
It's because we never announced it to the public.
People kept dying,
but no one was getting caught. Our superiors were going crazy.
Sung Shik investigated the case with me, so that's how he knows.
Chief Jeon. I can't believe it.
Does that mean you didn't know that Kim Young Ja was alive?
We never thought that she could be alive.
We noticed a missing number,
and that's when we started searching the whole town for the fifth corpse.
But we failed.
And that was because she was alive.
If I had met Kim Young Ja while she was alive,
I would've gotten a clue.
You must've seen the culprit's face.
Well...
I got hit in the back of my head.
Think carefully. You might remember something.
Are you saying you don't know who the culprit is?
If I knew, I would've caught that jerk already.
According to Sung Shik,
there were no other incidents like that afterwards.
So at first, I thought the culprit could've died.
But now, I'm sure that this jerk is alive.
I think the reason I got sent here from the past...
is because of that case.
And now, I'm more than certain about that because of you.
The fact that you're Seo Yi Soo's son.
And the fact that I happened to meet you in this world.
I'm sure there's a reason for that.
Okay.
If you really came from 1986,
then who killed Park Kwang Ho?
Now you're asking the right question.
How did he find out about what happened 30 years ago?
Do you remember what Jin Seon Chul said?
He talked about this certain man.
He said he's looking for him.
He said Park Kwang Ho is looking for someone.
I think Park Kwang Ho knew who the culprit was.
I think he got killed while trying to find the culprit.
He knew the culprit?
Do you believe me now?
Then one day, she said this.
Apparently, this guy told her that she'd look pretty in a skirt.
He's never seen the name Hwang Choon Hee...
in any murder case reports.
If he's never seen the name, that means no one else has.
(Microfilm)
("A Missing Woman in Her 20s Was Found Dead After a Day")
She was telling the truth.
(Hwayang Police Station)
Did you hear that Lieutenant Kim dragged Kwang Ho here in handcuffs?
Yes. Everyone's talking about it. What happened?
The jerk handcuffed him. He must've had a good reason for that.
I bet the office is chaotic.
What's this unexpected peacefulness?
Exactly.
Hey, Kiddo. I heard you got dragged here in handcuffs.
- What happened? - What?
This jerk got revenge on me for what I did on my first day.
Lieutenant Kim. Something's going on, right?
There's nothing going on.
Professor Shin. I'm sorry about yesterday. I couldn't pick up...
Where are you?
Okay. Let's go.
Why? What happened?
Hurry up.
- We'll be back. - See you later.
Sun Jae, drive safely.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
They've switched partners today.
It looks like they're acting.
I don't feel that good.
She told you to come here?
Why? Do you know this place?
One of the suspects used to live here. He was a high school kid.
What are you talking about? This is Jung Ho Young's house.
Jung Ho Young?
Hey, Jung Ho Young. You killed them, right?
Sir, I did kill the dogs,
but I really didn't kill anyone.
I remember now. That jerk's name was Jung Ho Young.
Then is he the same Jung Ho Young you were after?
Be a bit more clear.
I caught Jung Ho Young 30 years ago as a suspect of the murder cases.
The 18-year-old Jung Ho Young.
Wait.
Then you've met him before in the past?
If he's really the Jung Ho Young you were trying so hard to catch,
then how are you so sure that he's the culprit?
Come in.
He killed all the dogs in this town and buried them here.
I had a bad feeling about him.
But how did you know about this?
Jung Ho Young committed his first official murder 10 years ago.
He choked his wife to death.
But I found out something interesting.
You know Lee Sun Ok, right?
The woman who died recently?
Yes. When I interviewed her,
she told me a story about her friend.
She was wearing a skirt when she got killed.
Also, all the victims who got murdered by Jung Ho Young...
were all wearing skirts coincidentally.
He was after women in skirts too?
I looked it up because she sounded similar to the other victims.
I couldn't find any case records,
but I did find a newspaper article from 1985.
She was telling me the truth.
("A Missing Woman in Her 20s Was Found Dead After a Day")
This is Choon Hee.
Yes, her name was Hwang Choon Hee. How did you know that?
What do you mean she was similar to the other victims?
I just thought maybe...
Jung Ho Young's first murder could've actually been 30 years ago.
Jung Ho Young was living here when that incident happened.
It's not so far away from where Hwang Choon Hee got murdered.
I also found two more articles in that same year.
("Body of Murdered Female Found in Hwayang")
They seem like completely different cases,
but actually, the victim types match and they all occurred in Hwayang.
Kwang Ho.
Wait a minute.
Then that guy was the real culprit?
Do I need a reason...
to kill a person?
Let's say Jung Ho Young is the culprit.
The guy that Park Kwang Ho mentioned to Jin Seon Chul,
the guy that was running after Park Kwang Ho,
couldn't that have been Jung Ho Young?
What?
We have to find this guy first.
Wait. This isn't as simple as you think.
How are we going to find a guy that no one's caught for over two years?
Then do you think we should just sit back and wait?
We have to find out whether it's him or not quickly.
When you questioned him two years ago, what did he say?
That's all written in the statement.
Was there anything else?
Did he say anything to you personally?
Personally?
I killed more people,
but no one knows about them and the cases haven't been recorded.
Yes. I assumed that he wasn't going to confess,
so I thought if I provoked him, he could make a mistake.
That was when he mentioned that no one knew about the victims...
and that they were the cases that didn't exist in the records.
That's why I was chasing Jung Ho Young.
Why do you ask though?
When I'm certain, I'll let you know.
- Yes, Chief. - Where are you? There's a case.
Come directly to the scene.
We should be looking for Jung Ho Young first.
We'll save time if Professor Shin finishes her analysis first.
I don't have the time to wait though.
I thought finding Park Kwang Ho would solve everything.
I don't even know where Yeon Sook is right now.
Who's Yeon Sook?
Never mind.
Out of all places, why does it have to be a boutique?
Is it an arson attack?
We can't be sure until we enter the scene,
but this is already the fourth case in the neighborhood.
I'm almost sure. I get the feeling...
this is a serial arson.
There aren't any casualties yet, but we think it's a serial crime.
I'm sick and tired of serial crimes.
Are these people being recorded on video?
Min Ha's doing it over there.
A video?
- Why would you need that? - Arsonists remain near the scene.
Why on earth are we shooting a video?
Never mind. The fire's almost under control now. Let's go in.
We'll have to go in there in order to find anything.
They've sprayed so much water...
I don't think we'll be able to find any footprints.
Sun Jae. Come with me.
(Sunhwa Boutique)
The fire must've started from here.
Yes. You're right.
There are traces of direct ignition.
Do you see that lighter over there?
I think someone directly lit a fire with that lighter.
The fire started from there and then spread out.
I see.
By the way, what's this sound?
What is it?
What is that?
Sun Jae. Get out.
We have to get out!
- Oh dear. - There's a patient over here.
Look over there.
Kwang Ho. Kwang Ho.
Wake up, Kwang Ho.
Where's the rescue team?
Sir!
Hurry. Get him out.
Get the rescue squad over here.
Wake up, Kwang Ho.
Sir!
You've got to wake up.
Wake up. Wake up, Kwang Ho!
Kwang Ho?
You sure like dumplings, don't you?
I know the young lady that lives on the first floor.
Who's the young lady on the first floor?
She's just a weird girl.
By the way, Yeon Sook.
I met that kid.
That brat I told you about was Seo Yi Soo's son.
It's a small world, isn't it?
I wanted to catch the real culprit.
I really wanted to catch the guy for the kid.
What if he asks why I haven't found the culprit yet?
Come to think of it, I wonder whether Sun Jae's all right.
I seem all right.
By the way, Yeon Sook.
Where have you been all this time?
I'm sure...
you've been waiting for me.
If you know that I'm waiting, you have to wake up.
What did you say?
It can't be. Is this another dream?
Yeon Sook.
Don't go, Yeon Sook. Yeon Sook!
Don't go, Yeon Sook.
Yeon Sook.
Don't go.
Yeon Sook. Darn it.
Hey. Kiddo.
Are you all right? Do you recognize me?
You're the kiddo, you troublemaker.
He's all right.
He's definitely back.
How about Sun Jae? Is he all right? Where is he?
He's right over there unscathed.
Sun Jae. You're not hurt?
Do you think I'd get hurt?
That smartmouth.
How could...
they have extinguished the fire so poorly?
What?
My team could've all ended up dead.
Do you think I'd be scared of you?
Wait right there, you jerk.
Park Kwang Ho.
I told you not to pass out like that all of a sudden.
Do you think I'm trying to amuse you?
Do you know why I hate losing people so much?
I'm sure you wouldn't understand how I feel.
I hope you're not talking down to me right now.
Forgive me, Chief.
Is that all you have to say?
That's enough. He woke up, didn't he?
Except for the splinters of glass in the back of your head, you're fine.
Really?
Since you're alive, I'll overlook it just this once.
Guys.
Let's get going. Kwang Ho, should go get some rest.
Why would I go get some rest?
I should go find the guy that did this to me.
Leave that to me.
Sun Jae.
You still haven't found the prime suspect?
Then why don't you join me in the investigation.
- I'll do that. - Let's all go together then.
Whoever this guy is, we'll catch him within three days.
Let's go.
Thank you very much, Chief.
Hello, Doctor.
- Hello, Doctor. - You must be visiting a patient.
Hello.
I thought it was you who had gotten injured, Lieutenant Kim.
I'm happy to see you're fine.
If it wasn't for Park Kwang Ho, I could've gotten hurt.
Park Kwang Ho?
Is it all right to use that name?
I believe you haven't given me an explanation yet.
You see,
it's very difficult to explain. I'm sorry.
One thing I can tell you is that...
he has nothing to do with the death of the real Park Kwang Ho.
Rather...
he's the person who will find out the truth about the death.
What do you mean by that?
I must get going.
Professor, have you ever experienced paramnesia?
Are you talking about déjà vu?
I have several times.
Why do you ask?
I've never been there before,
yet I remembered something.
Where was it?
There are many theories on deja vu,
but as you know well enough, it is also seen as memory disorder.
Sometimes, it's not true that you've never been there before.
You could have been there,
or at least passed by the place.
But at that time, you must have thought it was unimportant.
A person's memory can't be perfect.
Was it in Korea?
Yes.
By the way, Professor Shin.
Did you find the case from 30 years ago?
Yes. Cases with similar type of victims did exist.
Do you think it was really Jung Ho Young?
They choose similar victims...
but there are differences.
What are they?
(Hwayang Police Station)
All four stores that were in the fire, including the Boutique,
were empty at the time.
The fire broke out at lunch time between 12pm and 1pm.
As you can see in the photos, the culprit came inside...
and set the store on fire with this lighter.
So he knew when the store owners leave the store.
I told you to be quiet.
Tae Hee, what did the person who reported this say?
The owner of the store across the street reported the fire.
He didn't see anyone,
but he saw the fire start amidst the mannequins.
According to the fire investigators,
the gas explosion happened...
because the gas hose snapped during the fire.
Kiddo, you could have been in a big trouble.
I know. I could have died and never returned home.
By the way, you said you took a video.
Did you find anyone suspicious?
It's dangerous. Step back.
It could have been worse.
Tae Hee and Min Ha. Identify the people in the video.
And procure the nearby CCTV footage.
Kwang Ho and Sun Jae. Go meet the victims of the fire.
And find out if anyone has grudges.
Go now.
Are you really okay, sir?
You said being alive was enough.
My heart skipped a beat.
Why did you do such a thing?
You have your wife back at home.
What would happen if you don't make it back alive?
I'm all right.
I mean, why would you?
Hey,
we couldn't catch the culprit.
The least we can do is to protect him.
Don't you think so?
You startled me.
What now?
Thank you.
What did you say? I couldn't hear that. Say it again.
Jerk.
My head hurts.
When can I take that off?
We need to catch the culprit to stop it from happening again.
Do you remember any customers before the fire broke out?
No one came that morning.
I went out to meet my friend from Seoul and a fire broke out.
Did anyone hold grudges against you?
Has there been any arguments recently?
That's the store that reported the fire, right?
What was the owner doing while it was burning with fire?
Maybe they reported the fire late.
Why? Would there be any reason to do that?
She kept saying that I'm stealing her customers.
How dare she...
You said a lighter was found at the scene, right?
She always smokes.
She must be joking.
I helped her by reporting the fire.
Where were you at the time of the fire?
I was at my store, of course.
Right after I saw the fire,
I dialed 911 on my phone.
Take a look.
(Hwayang Police Station)
This is Oh Young Dal who sells phones.
Oh Young Dal.
And this is Han Soo Won who runs the health care center.
I helped a lot during the fire.
Han Soo Won.
And?
Who is that?
Why does he move his shoulders?
Is he laughing?
Who is he?
I don't know.
You said you know everyone.
I do if they are from the Shopping District Union.
Who is he?
Min Ha, let's look at it with a different angle.
We don't have any more.
We should identify him first.
(Father)
You should stay a bit longer. You are not well enough.
I get irritated when I'm here.
I prefer to be at home.
Give me the keys.
I'll drive.
Don't bother.
I just thought you should know that she's leaving the hospital.
You should get going.
That's enough.
- There's someone over there. - Who is that?
Give it back. I told you that's enough.
What happened to your head?
This? It's nothing. It's a minor wound.
When you say it's nothing, it means it's something.
What are you even saying?
Anyway, he was laughing, right?
He was. This is what serial arsonists do.
They relieve their stress or desires...
by looking at blazing fires.
But is this the only video?
He must have shown his face somewhere.
Arsonists like to gain attention.
They are crazy.
Why? What happened?
Who is pulling a prank in the middle of the night?
It must have been kids around here. Go sleep now.
(Hwayang Police Station)
(The suspect)
We could have seen his face with a slightly different angle.
He must live somewhere within 1km of the boutique.
(Before the fire)
The owner of the store across the street reported the fire.
He didn't see anyone,
but he saw the fire start amidst the mannequins.
(Sunhwa Boutique)
The owner across the street couldn't have seen the mannequins.
What do you mean?
Right after I saw the fire,
I dialed 911 on my phone.
Tae Hee,
are you sure that the owner across the street...
reported that she saw the fire start from the mannequins?
Of course. I checked the recorded files of her call. Why?
(Before and after the fire)
He's right. She couldn't have seen the mannequins from her store.
It's just impossible.
Then why did she lie?
She wouldn't have known about it if she didn't see it for herself.
You think I lied?
Does it look exactly like how Sunhwa Boutique looks from your store?
Yes, it does.
What about this?
Can you see the mannequin from your store?
I don't think so.
Then why did you say that flames shot up from the mannequin?
That's what Hee Joon told me.
Who is Hee Joon?
He's my son.
Wait, just a moment.
What is this?
Gosh, you ruined my day!
What? You set someone's house on fire.
You think we ruined your day? Shall I teach you a lesson?
Gosh, darn it.
Hey, get back here.
I told you to get back here!
For goodness' sake.
Come here, you rat.
What are you trying to do?
You piece of...
Gosh, it hurts.
Kim Hee Joon, you're under arrest for arson of an occupied building.
You have the right to remain silent, but you better not exercise it.
Will you hire an attorney? It'll be costly.
And anything you say will be used against you in court. Got it?
Hey, Sun Jae.
Make sure to write in your report that he said we ruined his day.
I'll write it twice. Are we good now?
We're good.
What a rude jerk.
(Hwayang Police Station)
Isn't the witness the woman who called the police?
She said the arsonist set newspaper on fire using a lighter.
Everyone is shocked. Things like this keep happening,
- and there was this fire incident. - There they are.
Professor Shin brought this interview clip.
That punk is really something.
He set the place on fire and got his mom to call the police.
Then he even did an interview as a witness.
What? Did you just chuckle? You little...
Gosh, it's mine.
I told you that the culprit must've revealed his face already.
You seem to be doing okay, Lieutenant Kim.
Hey, it looks like she came here to see you.
Please step back!
Please say a few words!
Don't do this!
That guy is Sook Jin's son. He is her son.
I thought he was preparing for the civil service exam.
I can't believe he's the one who started the fire.
So you made sure that no one was around. What did you do after that?
I looked around a bit and went into the building right away.
Through here?
Min Ha, take a photo of this.
- Did you get it? - Yes, sir.
All right, let's go.
We're inside now. What did you do next?
I set the newspaper on fire in front of the mannequin using a lighter.
Show us. Sit down. Give him that newspaper.
- Here's a lighter. - Take the lighter.
Hold on. Where did you get the newspaper?
I brought it from home.
- Min Ha, take a photo of this. - Yes, sir.
- Did you get it? - Yes, sir.
You punk. I can't believe you actually did it.
- Give it back. - Take the lighter away from him.
- That little... - Get up.
Next.
I can't believe a boutique like this is still around.
What is this? Why is Yeon Sook in this photo?
What is going on?
What's the matter?
Hey.
Hey, Sung Shik.
- Hey. - Yes.
What is this?
Isn't it your wife?
His wife?
You said you couldn't find any record on Yeon Sook.
She's right here!
She had exceptionally deft fingers.
By the way, how do the two of you know Yeon Sook?
- I'm her husband... - Just a second.
I worked with her husband a long time ago.
I see. That's how you know her.
You're talking about her deceased husband, right?
That's right. I used to work with him.
Oh, I see.
She went through so much living all by herself.
Where is she now? Where can I go to see her?
That I don't know.
She suddenly stopped coming to work.
Why? Why did she stop coming to work?
Did something happen to her?
At first, I was so worried thinking that...
something might've happened to her.
I mean, it was very unlike her to just not show up for work.
But I didn't have her phone number or her address,
so there was nothing I could do.
She never talked about herself.
I only heard about her deceased husband through the grapevine.
But later on, I came to understand why she left like that.
She left because she got remarried and moved to Seoul.
Sorry? What do you mean?
- She got remarried? - Yes.
There was a man who used to chase her.
He used to work at a pharmacy here which doesn't exist anymore.
He stopped by the boutique a few times too.
He was tall and handsome.
He was a pharmacist, so I told her that she should date him.
But she didn't say anything back then.
- Why did you egg her on like that? - Sir.
Does she have to live alone forever, reminiscing her dead husband?
All men think like this.
No way. Why would Yeon Sook get remarried? She has me.
- Sir, please... - Let go.
Sir.
By any chance, do you remember...
anything about that man?
Hold on a second.
I think his surname was Yoo.
Oh, right. Yoo Sung Jae. That was his name.
Three decades have passed.
I know that it was only a few months ago for you,
but 30 years have passed. 3 full decades.
You knew everything, didn't you?
Isn't that why you lied to me and said there's no record on her?
I know how much you want to find her.
Had I known about it, I would've definitely told you.
None of this would've happened if I hadn't ended up here.
Who cares about catching the culprit?
Sir, please.
I've never even thought that such a thing would be possible.
But...
like you said, 30 years have passed.
I can't expect her to live alone for 30 years.
I know that, but...
What kind of girl would actually wait 30 years?
What's he like?
I'm sure he makes a good living since he's a pharmacist.
I'm sure Yeon Sook didn't live a hard life then.
He wouldn't have kept her waiting like I did.
On her birthday,
I'm sure they went on a cruise ship together.
What should I do, Sung Shik?
Should I look for her or should I not?
I have his name. I'm sure it won't take long to find the pharmacy.
Wouldn't I be getting in the way when she's living a happy life?
What would you like me to do? Should I stop looking?
Yeon Sook.
This isn't like you. What's wrong with you?
Why not just go ahead and find her?
If she's living happily,
you could at least watch her from a distance.
What's the problem?
I'm afraid she might've forgotten about me.
It's been 30 years.
I'm afraid she might've forgotten about me.
His name's Yoo Sung Jae.
He should be in his late 50s, early 60s, or mid 60s.
He worked at a pharmacy in Hwayang 30 years ago.
Please look into this and let me know. All right.
(Pharmacy)
This isn't the place.
(Eunsoo Pharmacy, Jinoh Pharmacy, Foreign Pharmacy)
("Skeleton of Missing Nurse Found Dead in the Mountain")
("Skeleton Found in Ojeong Mountain")
("Assumed to be Body of Missing Female College Student Found")
Why were they buried differently?
Could the suspect have changed methods?
("Body of Female Assumed to be Victim of Jung Ho Young Found")
It definitely changed.
What do you think caused the change?
The methods of the suspects don't easily change,
but if they were caught on a CCTV or if they...
feel threatened that they'll get caught, they can change at times.
What is it that happened between these two incidents?
There was only one situation that could've caused him stress.
He was caught on a CCTV in front of the victim's workplace.
That's how he was arrested.
Then that should explain this,
but there's something strange.
It would make sense if the two cases occurred in a different order.
Rather than displaying after burying, it should be the other way.
That way, the suspect wouldn't get caught and could continue on.
That's what I found strange as well.
Also, if, by any chance, the cases that occurred 30 years ago...
were murders Jung Ho Young committed, it doesn't make sense.
I couldn't find anything about the bodies being buried in the papers.
Displaying to burying and then back to displaying?
There must've been a reason for him to go back to burying.
Why would he have abandoned these bodies out in the open?
These would've been easy to find.
Could it be possible...
that he did this deliberately so that people could see?
Was Ho Young really with you?
We were at Father's party to commemorate his publication.
Make sure you don't forget.
You were with your mother that day. You were with me.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
In your beautiful eyes
Tears well up
What could've happened that was so sad
That would cause you to cry
I don't want to see you cry
In front of me
I am now able to dream of you and I
Spending our lives together
Please.
I have a child.
I'm on my way to the bus stop.
I'm sorry I had to leave so early.
I have a study group to attend tomorrow.
(Pharmacy)
You should at least drink this.
You haven't eaten all day.
Hello.
Here you are. Goodbye.
Were you looking for me?
Yes. Well...
Are you Mr. Lee Sung Jae?
Yes. What can I do for you?
30 years ago,
did you by any chance work at a local pharmacy in Hwayang?
Yes, I did. How did you know that?
What is this about?
You see...
Is your wife here as well?
My wife?
She's traveling in Europe with our daughter.
Are you here to meet my wife?
Is your wife's name...
Shin Yeon Sook?
Where is he? Sir, sir!
It's not her.
What do you mean?
His wife isn't Yeon Sook.
What?
I don't know how that rumor got around.
It's true that I had a crush on her.
Yeon Sook was an amazing young lady.
But I eventually met my wife through a matchmaker and we got married.
It's already been over 20 years.
That's not what we came here to hear.
Forgive him.
But if you liked her that much,
why didn't you marry Shin Yeon Sook?
- Hey. - Hold on.
Please go ahead.
You see,
I confessed my love to her, but I got rejected.
You see? Yeon Sook waited for me.
I was aware that her husband had passed away.
I told her that wasn't a problem.
If she was okay with it, I wanted to get married.
Listen to me. Her husband is alive and well. What are you saying?
We should try to have a conversation to get information.
She said she had a child.
What did you just say?
She said she had a child?
That's right.
She also said that her husband might come back...
and she was intending on waiting for him...
while raising their child.
Let me think. What was the child's name?
She said she named the child after her husband and herself...
taking one character from each name.
Yeon...
Ho.
That's right. I believe it was Yeon Ho.
Yeon Ho?
"Yeon" from Yeon Sook and "Ho" from Kwang Ho.
Sung Shik. She had a child.
She's waiting for me with my child.
By any chance, do you remember where she lived at the time?
I'm not sure if she still lives there.
There was a clinic called Mooyoung Oriental Medicine Clinic.
She lived in a rented room in that clinic.
(Mooyoung Oriental Medicine Clinic)
We're closed now.
What brings you here?
My husband liked Yeon Ho a lot.
They lived in that room.
She was already busy working at the boutique,
but she sometimes offered to help us too.
She was such a nice lady.
When did she move?
There aren't any records, so we're having trouble finding her.
She didn't move.
I guess you didn't hear.
Sorry?
She died in a car accident.
What?
She died over 20 years ago.
Are you sure...
you're not mistaken?
Are you sure it was Yeon Sook?
Are you sure it wasn't someone else?
Why would she die? Hey, Sung Shik.
Why in the world would she die?
- Sir. - Well...
She was coming home from work.
They took her to the hospital right away.
But...
No.
She said she'll wait.
She told me that she'll wait until I return.
Where is that hospital?
I need to check with my own eyes. Which hospital was it?
(Myungjin Hospital)
Miss Shin Yeon Sook.
She was transported to the ER in 1992.
It says here that...
the taxi she was in got hit by a drunk driver.
What exactly do you want to check?
Did she die?
Yes. She died the next day due to shock.
Are you sure?
- Why would she die? Why? - Sir, wait.
Don't do this.
My gosh. I'm sorry, sir.
Are you sure it was Yeon Sook? Are you sure?
Why didn't you save her? Why?
Why?
Let's go. Come on.
No, this can't be true. Sung Shik.
I'm sorry.
What about her kid?
She had a kid named Yeon Ho.
Was she here too?
No. I don't see any records about her child.
The two people who got transported here that day was Shin Yeon Sook...
and the taxi driver only.
Sir, where are you going?
Yeon Sook's waiting for me.
I need to go home.
Sir.
Tae Hee, if it isn't urgent...
Chief, it's urgent.
Jung Ho Young committed murder again.
(Lee Seo Yeon)
Did you find anything?
Chief, you're here.
Did Kwang Ho call?
He's not answering my calls.
I don't think he can make it today.
Did you identify who she is?
Her name is Lee Seo Yeon. She's 25 years old.
Did you find her cell phone?
You haven't contacted her family yet, right?
Here, Chief.
(Mom, 57 missed calls)
My gosh.
Seo Yeon.
Your mother must be waiting for you.
Let's take you home.
Sun Jae.
Do you also think Jung Ho Young did this?
It's the same crime method.
It's him.
(Professor Shin)
Three months after a corpse of a woman was found in Haein River,
the police have found another body.
Due to this incident, people are starting to feel more insecure.
Some already think that...
it's another murder committed by Jung Ho Young.
I told him not to chase him but to wait for him.
However, the police said it's just a rumor...
- I guess he failed again. - and did not say anything else.
Did you hear already?
It was because of you, Lieutenant Kim.
Pardon?
What do you mean?
I wondered why Jung Ho Young changed the way he buried the bodies.
He used to bury the victims in the mountain.
But why did he leave the body for everyone to see in Haein River?
The first crime he committed after getting caught by you...
was at Haein River.
What are you trying to say?
I think he wanted you to see the body.
You told me that he said he'd tell you something interesting.
You may have...
triggered him to remember something he had forgotten about...
30 years ago.
Jung Ho Young will kill someone again.
Actually, he may have killed someone already...
because he wants you to react to that.
He's probably waiting for you to do something.
This time, he'll have murdered someone in your jurisdiction.
So you're telling me that...
he killed someone and left the body out in the open just for me?
Why would he do that?
I think you triggered him.
How did it feel to kill someone?
Was it fun to watch the victim trying to catch her breath?
Or did it excite you?
He may be...
restarting what he started...
30 years ago.
He's starting to...
kill people again because of me?
(Mooyoung Oriental Medicine Clinic)
Yeon Ho, are you okay?
My goodness, what happened?
I called for my mom, but you came instead.
- What? - My mom told me to...
blow the whistle whenever I'm in danger.
She said she'll come to the rescue.
She said she'll always be listening, no matter where I am.
She must be busy with work,
so I guess she sent you instead.
Am I right?
Yes. I came on behalf of your mom.
My goodness. Did your mom buy you that?
No. It was actually a present she got for my dad.
It's pretty, right?
Yes, it's as pretty as you are.
That little girl...
always blew on her whistle whenever something happened to her.
That was the first and last day she didn't appear...
as soon as she heard the whistle.
Because...
that was the day...
she died in a car crash.
The whistle...
What's this?
What?
I got this for you. Blow this whenever you're in danger.
I'll come to your rescue.
(Tunnel)
What will change after catching that scum, Jung Ho Young?
Yeon Sook died. Nothing matters anymore!
I was stuck and couldn't do anything, just like you!
But your child lost her mom. How do you think she must feel now?
Find your daughter and solve the case. You should go back!
Go and stop it. Go back and save Yeon Sook's life.
The problem is that catching Jung Ho Young won't be easy.
You'll never be able to catch him if you try to find him.
You should make him reveal himself.
Set up a trap, then hide and wait quietly.
Let your target know that you're willing to be used as bait.
I'm glad I came to see you.
