ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACE NAMES
AND CASES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
Thank you for your help.
Not a problem at all.
How did we run into each other
right there?
By the way,
has Eun-soo been craving gangjeong again?
She's been talking about it
for a few days,
but I didn't really pay any attention.
I should be more attentive
to my one and only child.
She only likes dishes
that require a lot of work.
This year must be a lucky year for us.
You finally got to clear yourself
of the false accusation.
Goodness.
Now, I just hope that things
go well for Eun-soo.
She's doing great.
She should meet someone.
I really want to find her a nice guy.
That's all I wish for.
What are you talking about?
Times have changed.
My gosh, look at you.
She's too good for anyone, right?
You're such a doting dad.
You know expressions like that?
Of course I do. I'm still young.
And you're old.
I came here just in case
Ga-young might be here,
but it didn't look like anyone was inside.
As I was leaving,
I ran into the tenant
on the stairs.
At the time, I didn't know who she was,
so I was just going to leave,
but I heard a scream coming
from downstairs all of a sudden.
So I came in and...
Judging from the murder weapon,
it looks like the same killer's doing.
Have you found any belongings
of the victim?
No, nothing.
Neither her purse nor her phone
has been found.
Ms. Young must have a transit pass.
Please go through the usage history
and find out where she's been.
Will you go to the autopsy room?
You have to track down where Ga-young is.
How can he be like that?
Even I feel sick to my stomach.
Did he actually work with her?
He didn't even hesitate
to call her a victim.
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
-There's blood. Please don't step on it.
-Okay.
Are you saying it's been
diluted with water?
Was it dropped
after he tried to wash it off?
You need to tell us what you saw.
Please stop crying and tell us, okay?
I heard there's some
at the stairway as well.
Don't you think it's a bit odd?
He must've been in a big rush this time.
Or...
Stop touching that, please!
What is the matter with you?
You know that he's in complete shock now.
Mr. Yoon, I'll take you home.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You two are such loyal friends.
Don't you think it's strange?
How can he touch the body
when he works in the prosecution?
He must've been stunned.
Wouldn't you do the same
if you found me dead on the floor?
What?
Gosh.
God, he completely ruined the damn scene.
What should we do
to catch that son of a bitch?
We're ready.
You said she was your colleague.
Will you be all right?
Please begin.
Okay.
No...
Not now.
Please...
-Brief me.
-Yes, sir.
The first person who found
the body is the new tenant who is
renting the apartment
Ga-young used to live.
It looks like the victim was already dead
when she was found.
Getting stabbed
in the stomach and neck must be
the cause of death.
Have a look at this too. A contusion
was found on the back of her head.
That looks similar
to the wound Ga-young had.
Did he hit her head and make her pass out
before stabbing her?
Judging from the dent,
she was probably unconscious.
If she was conscious and resisted,
the blood spatter would look
a lot more irregular.
And this kitchen knife has
the same flower motif
as the ones found on the scenes
of Moo-sung Park and Ga-young Kim's cases.
-Do you think there's seriality?
-The consistency of the murder weapon
and the crime scene.
Ga-young was found at the previous victim
Moo-sung Park's house.
The same goes for Ms. Young.
She was found where Ga-young used to live.
But the scene obviously wasn't cleaned up
like the other two were.
Blood was splattered all over the place,
and a significant amount of the victim's
blood was found in the bathroom as well.
The blood trail from the bathroom
to the stairway was mixed with water.
The killer must've tried to wash the blood
off in the bathroom and left the trail
on his way out.
The towel we found in the bathroom
had no blood stain on it.
If the killer didn't use the towel
after washing blood off of himself,
some water could've dripped from him.
Don't you think this case is too different
from the other two
to assume that it's serial?
What about the autopsy?
The contusion on her head
wasn't the primary cause of death.
Other than that, there were
no signs of resistance.
The cause of death is excessive blood loss
due to a severed carotid artery.
The time of death is presumed to be
about four to five hours
prior to the time of autopsy.
-Then it must've been between 5 and 7 p.m.
-That's right.
I got the victim's transit pass
usage history.
She always commuted to work by subway.
Only the day before and the day
of the incident seem out of ordinary.
The rest shows her traveling home
from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
and vice versa.
The day before the incident, she came
to my place from Mr. Hwang's place,
then went home.
She must've walked to his place
from her office.
Why did she go to his place
and your place?
That day, she stopped by his place
to drop off mails for him.
-And we had a team dinner at my place.
-Ms. Young!
-Welcome.
-Hello.
What we need to focus on
is the fact
that Ms. Young saw this man
who sneaked into Mr. Hwang's place.
Who's this guy?
We don't know yet.
If he's the one who killed her,
he probably assumed that she saw his face.
Why did he sneak
into the prosecutor's place?
Did he steal something?
No, nothing was stolen.
It was more like a warning.
Well, Mr. Hwang was the one
that stopped the weapon import.
What?
Are you saying the special investigation
team was behind that?
Yes, sir.
Does that mean Hanjo, The Bahn
or the Ministry of National Defense
gave him a warning?
Watch your mouth.
Don't make risky assumptions.
The last thing I see here from the day
of the incident is that she took a taxi.
At 4:47 p.m.,
she got off at Haengdang-dong.
Anything else after this?
She lives in Haengdang-dong.
Was she killed there
and moved to the scene after?
The culprit must have
abducted her around her place.
All right, everyone.
A prosecutor has been killed.
Whether this is a copycat murder
or a serial case, all of you must know
what kind of stir it will cause.
-Yes, sir.
-You must find something before dawn.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Understood, sir.
PROSECUTOR EUN-SOO YOUNG
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm sorry that this happened
immediately after your promotion.
Please do your best.
See you later.
I need to talk to you.
What is it?
Have you seen Si-mok?
He went straight to the autopsy room
from the scene.
The autopsy was completed hours ago.
Why can't I get a hold of him?
I'll try calling him now.
He's not picking up.
Okay, thank you.
I really don't want to see
things like this anymore.
His medical history shows that he had
insular cortex surgery. Did you know?
Insular cortex?
It's a part of the brain
that activates emotions.
Simply put, it enables us to be human.
It controls things such as desires,
likes and dislikes.
So what did they do to his insular cortex?
It looks like a part of it was removed.
It must've been because of pain.
Those with an overactive insular cortex
often can't tolerate stress
caused by external stimuli.
Does that mean he fainted
because of a recurrence?
No, that's not the case.
Insular cortex removal can make
the person look apathetic.
There are also other mental side effects
such as personality changes.
On the other hand,
relieving insular cortex
from pain can activate it
and significantly enhance
cognitive abilities.
I think what happened was
a side effect of some sort.
Has he been in an extremely
stressful situation lately?
No one can be
completely devoid of emotion.
When you can't express your emotions,
they pile up inside of you
without you even realizing it.
Then they explode like this
once in a while.
Excuse me. Please call me
when this patient wakes up.
Sure.
Eun-soo.
Hey, Eun-soo!
Eun-soo!
Gosh.
Are you all right?
You really didn't do it, right?
You didn't kill him, right?
That foolish girl.
MS. YANG
Mr. Chief Secretary is looking for you.
-You thought your ex-boss was the killer.
-Have you seen
this man?
Now, you have to serve him again.
Don't you want to know?
It's no longer about whether I want
to know or not.
DEPUTY CHIEF OF INVESTIGATION
SE-WON YOON
Se-won Yoon
Letter of resignation
PROSECUTION SERVICE
SE-WON YOON
Can you lend me some clothes?
I can pull off any clothes, can't I?
See you tomorrow.
Why can't I be part
of the special investigation team?
Do you think we're here to help you
get your revenge?
Mr. Hwang, why can't I work on it?
Do you not trust me?
No.
Will you be able to do it?
Yes, please entrust me with it.
Are you not capable
of giving compliments or what?
Your mentee won her first case.
Excuse me. Could I get another glass?
The killer must be caught
for me to get out of this.
Teach me.
The guy who delivered the cash
to my dad. Tae-gyun Kim.
I didn't want to let him get away,
so I got on.
-What was this about?
-I had to do something.
-You're working so hard to...
-Do you think I'm doing this for you?
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
No! It's not like that.
Thank you for the sweater.
Ms. Young!
REST IN PEACE
FROM JEJU PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
When is Mr. Yoon coming?
I can't even get a hold of him.
He'll probably come with his colleagues.
Does going through things like this often
make you become numb to them?
I thought it would.
I thought I had become like that.
I mean, both you and I don't really know
Ms. Young well.
But...
Even two days ago, all of us drank
and hung out together.
How can something like this happen?
She got killed by the prick
we've been after,
the murderer we haven't caught.
Gosh. And why have her parents
lost so much weight?
Even catching the killer
won't erase their wound
from this, will it?
Let's go.
How could they do that?
Where have you been?
I asked you to protect my daughter!
I asked you to keep Eun-soo safe.
What is this?
-What is this mess?
-Sir.
You scum.
How dare you set foot in here?
Get out, you scumbag!
Sir, I don't think now is a good time.
You killed her.
-You killed my daughter.
-Why have you been just spectating?
Why didn't you fight?
Why did you do nothing
but hide for all these years?
Si-mok, shut up.
You taught us to use the law to fight.
What have you been doing?
Do you think you did it for your family?
Not because you were scared?
-Be quiet!
-Enough!
Please stop.
Sir, we should leave for now.
Dong-jae.
Do not act up ever again.
I apologize, sir.
Are your shoulders made of steel or what?
Don't do that ever again.
That's from 4:48 p.m. yesterday.
Ms. Young got into a taxi at 4:06 p.m.
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
and got off in front of her place
at 4:47 p.m.
She was caught walking into her place
on the camera at 4:48 p.m.
Then she left home again at 4:55 p.m.
She left seven minutes
after she entered home.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG
Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
That was the last time she was seen.
-Yes, see you.
-When we showed her those photos.
You should get back to work.
The last time.
Go on.
She went straight home after that.
We're investigating this area now,
but her family has no idea
why she came home at that hour.
Aside from that day,
she had never come home
during her work hours.
Except for the day
she came over to my place,
she didn't even go anywhere else recently.
She always went straight to work
from home and never strayed.
And the knife we found that day
isn't from the scene. It looks like
the killer bought it recently.
We're trying to track down
where it was bought.
What do you think?
Do you think it's the same guy's doing?
How's your head by the way?
We found Ga-young.
Her mom moved her to keep her safe.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG, 4:53 P.M.
She disappeared
after leaving home at 4:55 p.m.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG
-What's up?
-Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
Is it urgent?
I want to talk to you briefly.
PERSONAL DETAILS REPORT
GA-YOUNG KIM
I'll call you back in a bit.
Yes, okay.
All right.
He's not in a good mood right now.
Give it to me. I'll get his approval...
I can't give this to you.
"I can't give this to you"?
Ma'am, an attempt was made
to check on your assets,
everything from your stocks
to real estate properties and art pieces.
I traced it thinking that it must've been
about taxes, but the request
was made by your husband,
Chief Secretary Chang-jun Lee.
HUSBAND
HUSBAND
Did I notice anything strange
the last time I saw her?
I don't know if I can say it was strange,
but that day,
I actually saw Ms. Young
standing in front of your door
for a few seconds before going in.
She seemed to eavesdrop
on your conversation inside your office.
I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.
He's just been sitting on it
for three years though.
What does Mr. Young have?
Hello.
Are you saying she overheard
our conversation?
Is that why she went home?
Was that the reason she suddenly
went home at that hour?
Was it because of me?
Well...
The two of us were left alone
inside my place for a few minutes,
but she didn't say anything special.
She spilled some juice.
It splashed onto Mr. Yoon's shirt,
so we didn't really have time to talk.
Oh, god.
She heard me asking you
what Mr. Young has.
If she went home because of it
and met the killer on the way...
Ms. Kim, are you inside?
I was getting home from my part-time job.
Ms. Kim.
Are you inside?
Ms. Kim, are you there?
-Is anyone inside?
-He wasn't looking for me,
so I didn't think I needed to answer.
I went there just in case.
That was the only place I knew.
But...
Ms. Young.
Ms. Young...
Ms. Young?
Ms. Young.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Please make sure that her parents
don't see her body.
If they see it,
the rest of their lives will be...
-I'm not asking about the color.
-Yes, I know that there are many.
-Yes, a knife with a rose motif.
-We want to find a company that made it.
-No.
-The motif is on the blade.
-The blade.
-No, the manufacturer.
-Yes, rose.
-Thank you.
-Regular kitchen knife.
-Right.
-It's black.
-You make them? Hold on, please.
No, it's black.
-Black.
-It's not this big.
-Black...
-Only black ones?
-It's soot black.
-Yes, hello.
-I'm the one who sent the photos earlier.
-That's right.
-I don't see it.
-We're looking for the knife.
-Yes.
-Gosh, how can it be...
Is it the same one?
What if the killer had the knife
prepared in advance?
It's possible that we got
the perimeter wrong.
Then we should widen our search.
We'll search the entire city.
Hello, I'm with the police.
We're just wondering
if you've seen this lady.
I didn't work that day.
Is there a security camera
that overlooks this spot?
-That must be it.
-Yes, that's right.
Is there any camera on that side?
Hello, we're from the police.
-I've never seen her.
-Okay.
-I'm not sure.
-We're the police.
Hello. I've never seen her.
Excuse me. Hello.
-No.
-I've never seen her.
-I see. Thank you.
-No problem.
I heard you found the manufacturer.
Yes, but from this apartment complex
to the scene,
there are over 100 stores
they supply it to.
Everyone is visiting the stores
at the moment
to find out if anyone bought
the knife in the last few days.
Right, we're talking about
from Seongdong-gu to Yongsan-gu.
There must be a ton of stores.
Excuse me. I'm from the police.
Do you happen to know this person?
You should leave now, sir.
The car is ready.
All right.
Ms. Lee.
Are you preparing to divorce me?
Are you trying to calculate how much
you can make through our divorce?
Have you had a change of heart
now that the girl woke up?
You're making a move right away.
Tell me.
What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
I know you're sorry, but for what?
Yeon-jae.
There's no other woman in my life.
I'm not being like this out of jealousy.
We're not the type to quibble
and get divorced like other couples do.
We should at least try to hide
our ugly sides from each other.
I've never cheated on you.
Then why are you sorry?
You shouldn't have come that day.
Your brother's trial.
The first time we met.
Or...
I should've listened to your father.
Whether he's a total rogue or not,
had I let the corporate heir go,
you wouldn't have been interested in me.
Are you saying our relationship
was wrong from the start?
Why are you being like this?
What on earth are you...
What are you thinking?
I'll be late.
Father must be waiting.
You know how much he values punctuality.
Let's talk at home.
The flight ticket.
Are you preparing to divorce me?
I tidied everything up already.
You should take a break.
-Hi.
-Excuse me, sir.
-I don't see Mr. Woo.
-He's away on a business trip.
Does he travel for work?
Do you need something from him?
No, I don't.
-Where's everyone else?
-They'll be here soon.
We began investing in the savings bank.
The word will spread
in the market by tomorrow.
We made it look like the investment
was made from a foreign fund in Hong Kong,
so we just have to wait
for the stock price to go up.
-When will you withdraw the investment?
-As quickly as possible.
We just need to sell it
when they're still distracted.
Don't you think they'll complain later
about it being sold to foreign capital?
Even the last time...
When it comes to business,
I'll handle everything. You just need
to show your face.
Understood.
I need to use the washroom.
They're here, sir.
My gosh.
Oh, my.
Thank you for coming.
How have you been?
It's been a long time.
I haven't seen you in so long.
My gosh. I didn't know
that you'd be here, Mr. Chief Secretary.
I wanted to be part
of this meaningful meeting.
It sounds like those he serves are
also very interested in this matter.
-Is that right?
-Have a seat.
Sure.
Please excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry we couldn't meet sooner.
I'm the CEO of W Savings Bank, Ki-ho Song.
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
Have you met the Director
of the Financial Supervisory Service?
Yes, we met once after I took office.
Mr. Song, you'll need to become
pluckier now.
Rumors about your bank being insolvent
and that it'll be bought out soon
will spread thanks to
the media's groundwork.
Please don't be taken aback by it.
Yes, I shall follow your advice.
When the bank is faltering, JR Holdings
will come into the picture like a savior,
looking like they're buying it
with grudging reluctance.
When that's happening, all you need to do
is keep your eyes closed.
-Like this?
-You'll need to close them more tightly.
Is this better?
-Like this?
-Yes, that's perfect.
What's missing?
They took it.
Those scums.
Chang-jun and Yun-beom.
When?
I was out of it earlier,
but I wanted to check it after hearing
what you said at the funeral.
It was here yesterday.
It's evidence of tax evasion
Yun-beom Lee committed.
It's about the money
he turned into stocks and gave
to his children illegally.
Had he paid taxes on it properly,
it would've been 200 billion won.
Taxes alone.
Is that why you were framed for bribery
three years ago?
I checked it after you left yesterday.
I opened it after you asked me
to give it to you,
and everything was intact.
Was there a time
no one was home after that?
Yesterday. Only briefly in the afternoon.
Was it around 4:40 p.m.?
Ms. Young was the only one captured
on security cameras around that time.
Eun-soo?
She probably took it.
Is that why...
Because she had it...
Is that why those scums...
She was...
She was killed because of me.
I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.
But he's just been sitting on it
for three years.
Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
I want to talk to you briefly.
Hello, Lieutenant Han.
I'm calling to report a theft.
What are you looking for?
I asked you what you're looking for.
I don't know either.
It must be the police.
What's been stolen?
This...
Zero and seven?
This wasn't drawn at once.
I see repetitions of similar lines.
She must've corrected it many times.
She used a pen for all other pages.
It looks like she used a pencil
for this torn-out page on purpose,
to draw the shape she wanted.
I bet it's not a shape that she imagined.
It must mean that she saw something.
She must've wanted to draw what she saw.
That's why she kept correcting it.
Are we sure that these are numbers though?
Why do they look like this?
Lieutenant Han!
Where did she see this? And how?
-Lieutenant Han!
-Yes, sir.
Go check if it's possible to jump up onto
the hallway from outside of the building.
Yes, sir.
His daughter was the only one caught
on the cameras around that time.
The only way the thief could've gotten in
without passing by the security office
is through the balcony window
or by jumping up onto the hallway.
It's almost impossible.
There's nowhere to tie anything.
She left seven minutes
after she entered home.
Would it have been possible
to draw it in seven minutes?
Where did she see this? And how?
Here, the office,
my place and Lieutenant Han's place.
His clothes look similar.
I couldn't see his face,
but I think it was this umbrella.
The umbrella.
Where and how did she see this?
Except for the day
she came over to my place,
she didn't even go anywhere else recently.
She always went straight to work
from home and never strayed.
There's no overlap at all.
Zero and seven? What is that?
Ga-young said those words.
It might be what she saw
during the abduction
or something related to the culprit.
She saw those two numbers? Zero and seven?
Zero and seven.
Zero and seven?
Are we sure that these are numbers though?
Why do they look like this?
T.
D.
T.
I'll go bring some fruit.
The two of us were left alone
inside my place for a few minutes,
but she didn't say anything special.
She spilled some juice.
It splashed onto Mr. Yoon's shirt,
so we didn't really have time to talk.
I'm a lightweight.
How can you be a lightweight?
You said you were a Marine.
Didn't you say you served
in the Special Forces?
I don't think the thief got in
through elsewhere.
All this time, he's been around...
What did you say?
I know who the killer is.
Who is it?
Track his location immediately.
Ms. Young heard about the zero and seven
for the first time
on the rooftop at your place two days ago.
Then she was killed last night.
In that one day, the only time
she could've sat down at her desk
and drawn it was when she got home
from your place two nights ago.
When she stopped by her place
yesterday afternoon right before she died,
she only had seven minutes.
He's on the Yeongjong Bridge.
He must be headed to the airport.
And had Ga-young
seen those numbers in the basement
or while she was being dragged somewhere,
Ms. Young, whose trail doesn't overlap
with Ga-young's at all,
wouldn't have been able
to see the numbers.
Have you gotten in?
I guess you'll take off soon.
Don't call me until I contact you.
If she didn't see it at a specific place,
it must be a person.
She must've seen it on someone.
Like Ga-young, Ms. Young
also saw the killer.
Then how did they see numbers on a person?
On clothes or belongings?
Whether they're numbers or not,
how can they be on someone's body?
It must be a tattoo.
Where is he? Where did he go?
Number three. I'll go to number three.
-Hey, is Detective Jang here too?
-Hurry up.
-He's here.
-Hey, you made it.
Guys, listen up.
Tune into Channel Three.
-Team One should search the floor below.
-Yes, sir.
Geon, you should go that way and...
From the time she first heard
about the numbers
to the time she drew the tattoo at home,
-The rest should follow me.
-she only saw
-Move!
-those of us at your place.
It means that the killer
is one of the people
who were there that night.
INTEGRATED CONTROL CENTER
Had Ms. Young seen the tattoo
when she was with me,
I would've seen it too.
There are three people who were
left alone with her
on the rooftop that night.
Lieutenant Han, Detective Jang
and Mr. Yoon.
Lieutenant Han and Detective Jang
can't have any tattoos.
Had they had tattoos, they wouldn't have
been able to become police officers.
I'm sorry.
The person Ms. Young saw
is Mr. Yoon.
Just a second, please.
We'll need to inspect you.
Stop right there!
Hey! We found him!
-He's going to the second floor.
-Stop right there!
We found the suspect!
Moving to the transportation center!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Gosh, what's going on?
ALL EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
STRANGER
-Why did you kill him?
-Because I had to.
Why at the airport of all places?
Is it a coincidence?
Is 80 billion won going to be donated
-to my foundation?
-By whose order?
It'll be brought to trial soon.
It can't be brought up by anyone.
What is he up to?
Why did you kill Eun-soo Young?
Who is that son of bitch?
It'd be meaningless
to take down just a tip of the iceberg.
On the day Eun-soo was killed,
the file disappeared.
If she was killed while possessing it...
Si-mok, is this really a coincidence?

AND CASES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
Thank you for your help.
Not a problem at all.
How did we run into each other
right there?
By the way,
has Eun-soo been craving gangjeong again?
She's been talking about it
for a few days,
but I didn't really pay any attention.
I should be more attentive
to my one and only child.
She only likes dishes
that require a lot of work.
This year must be a lucky year for us.
You finally got to clear yourself
of the false accusation.
Goodness.
Now, I just hope that things
go well for Eun-soo.
She's doing great.
She should meet someone.
I really want to find her a nice guy.
That's all I wish for.
What are you talking about?
Times have changed.
My gosh, look at you.
She's too good for anyone, right?
You're such a doting dad.
You know expressions like that?
Of course I do. I'm still young.
And you're old.
I came here just in case
Ga-young might be here,
but it didn't look like anyone was inside.
As I was leaving,
I ran into the tenant
on the stairs.
At the time, I didn't know who she was,
so I was just going to leave,
but I heard a scream coming
from downstairs all of a sudden.
So I came in and...
Judging from the murder weapon,
it looks like the same killer's doing.
Have you found any belongings
of the victim?
No, nothing.
Neither her purse nor her phone
has been found.
Ms. Young must have a transit pass.
Please go through the usage history
and find out where she's been.
Will you go to the autopsy room?
You have to track down where Ga-young is.
How can he be like that?
Even I feel sick to my stomach.
Did he actually work with her?
He didn't even hesitate
to call her a victim.
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
-There's blood. Please don't step on it.
-Okay.
Are you saying it's been
diluted with water?
Was it dropped
after he tried to wash it off?
You need to tell us what you saw.
Please stop crying and tell us, okay?
I heard there's some
at the stairway as well.
Don't you think it's a bit odd?
He must've been in a big rush this time.
Or...
Stop touching that, please!
What is the matter with you?
You know that he's in complete shock now.
Mr. Yoon, I'll take you home.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You two are such loyal friends.
Don't you think it's strange?
How can he touch the body
when he works in the prosecution?
He must've been stunned.
Wouldn't you do the same
if you found me dead on the floor?
What?
Gosh.
God, he completely ruined the damn scene.
What should we do
to catch that son of a bitch?
We're ready.
You said she was your colleague.
Will you be all right?
Please begin.
Okay.
No...
Not now.
Please...
-Brief me.
-Yes, sir.
The first person who found
the body is the new tenant who is
renting the apartment
Ga-young used to live.
It looks like the victim was already dead
when she was found.
Getting stabbed
in the stomach and neck must be
the cause of death.
Have a look at this too. A contusion
was found on the back of her head.
That looks similar
to the wound Ga-young had.
Did he hit her head and make her pass out
before stabbing her?
Judging from the dent,
she was probably unconscious.
If she was conscious and resisted,
the blood spatter would look
a lot more irregular.
And this kitchen knife has
the same flower motif
as the ones found on the scenes
of Moo-sung Park and Ga-young Kim's cases.
-Do you think there's seriality?
-The consistency of the murder weapon
and the crime scene.
Ga-young was found at the previous victim
Moo-sung Park's house.
The same goes for Ms. Young.
She was found where Ga-young used to live.
But the scene obviously wasn't cleaned up
like the other two were.
Blood was splattered all over the place,
and a significant amount of the victim's
blood was found in the bathroom as well.
The blood trail from the bathroom
to the stairway was mixed with water.
The killer must've tried to wash the blood
off in the bathroom and left the trail
on his way out.
The towel we found in the bathroom
had no blood stain on it.
If the killer didn't use the towel
after washing blood off of himself,
some water could've dripped from him.
Don't you think this case is too different
from the other two
to assume that it's serial?
What about the autopsy?
The contusion on her head
wasn't the primary cause of death.
Other than that, there were
no signs of resistance.
The cause of death is excessive blood loss
due to a severed carotid artery.
The time of death is presumed to be
about four to five hours
prior to the time of autopsy.
-Then it must've been between 5 and 7 p.m.
-That's right.
I got the victim's transit pass
usage history.
She always commuted to work by subway.
Only the day before and the day
of the incident seem out of ordinary.
The rest shows her traveling home
from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
and vice versa.
The day before the incident, she came
to my place from Mr. Hwang's place,
then went home.
She must've walked to his place
from her office.
Why did she go to his place
and your place?
That day, she stopped by his place
to drop off mails for him.
-And we had a team dinner at my place.
-Ms. Young!
-Welcome.
-Hello.
What we need to focus on
is the fact
that Ms. Young saw this man
who sneaked into Mr. Hwang's place.
Who's this guy?
We don't know yet.
If he's the one who killed her,
he probably assumed that she saw his face.
Why did he sneak
into the prosecutor's place?
Did he steal something?
No, nothing was stolen.
It was more like a warning.
Well, Mr. Hwang was the one
that stopped the weapon import.
What?
Are you saying the special investigation
team was behind that?
Yes, sir.
Does that mean Hanjo, The Bahn
or the Ministry of National Defense
gave him a warning?
Watch your mouth.
Don't make risky assumptions.
The last thing I see here from the day
of the incident is that she took a taxi.
At 4:47 p.m.,
she got off at Haengdang-dong.
Anything else after this?
She lives in Haengdang-dong.
Was she killed there
and moved to the scene after?
The culprit must have
abducted her around her place.
All right, everyone.
A prosecutor has been killed.
Whether this is a copycat murder
or a serial case, all of you must know
what kind of stir it will cause.
-Yes, sir.
-You must find something before dawn.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Understood, sir.
PROSECUTOR EUN-SOO YOUNG
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm sorry that this happened
immediately after your promotion.
Please do your best.
See you later.
I need to talk to you.
What is it?
Have you seen Si-mok?
He went straight to the autopsy room
from the scene.
The autopsy was completed hours ago.
Why can't I get a hold of him?
I'll try calling him now.
He's not picking up.
Okay, thank you.
I really don't want to see
things like this anymore.
His medical history shows that he had
insular cortex surgery. Did you know?
Insular cortex?
It's a part of the brain
that activates emotions.
Simply put, it enables us to be human.
It controls things such as desires,
likes and dislikes.
So what did they do to his insular cortex?
It looks like a part of it was removed.
It must've been because of pain.
Those with an overactive insular cortex
often can't tolerate stress
caused by external stimuli.
Does that mean he fainted
because of a recurrence?
No, that's not the case.
Insular cortex removal can make
the person look apathetic.
There are also other mental side effects
such as personality changes.
On the other hand,
relieving insular cortex
from pain can activate it
and significantly enhance
cognitive abilities.
I think what happened was
a side effect of some sort.
Has he been in an extremely
stressful situation lately?
No one can be
completely devoid of emotion.
When you can't express your emotions,
they pile up inside of you
without you even realizing it.
Then they explode like this
once in a while.
Excuse me. Please call me
when this patient wakes up.
Sure.
Eun-soo.
Hey, Eun-soo!
Eun-soo!
Gosh.
Are you all right?
You really didn't do it, right?
You didn't kill him, right?
That foolish girl.
MS. YANG
Mr. Chief Secretary is looking for you.
-You thought your ex-boss was the killer.
-Have you seen
this man?
Now, you have to serve him again.
Don't you want to know?
It's no longer about whether I want
to know or not.
DEPUTY CHIEF OF INVESTIGATION
SE-WON YOON
Se-won Yoon
Letter of resignation
PROSECUTION SERVICE
SE-WON YOON
Can you lend me some clothes?
I can pull off any clothes, can't I?
See you tomorrow.
Why can't I be part
of the special investigation team?
Do you think we're here to help you
get your revenge?
Mr. Hwang, why can't I work on it?
Do you not trust me?
No.
Will you be able to do it?
Yes, please entrust me with it.
Are you not capable
of giving compliments or what?
Your mentee won her first case.
Excuse me. Could I get another glass?
The killer must be caught
for me to get out of this.
Teach me.
The guy who delivered the cash
to my dad. Tae-gyun Kim.
I didn't want to let him get away,
so I got on.
-What was this about?
-I had to do something.
-You're working so hard to...
-Do you think I'm doing this for you?
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
No! It's not like that.
Thank you for the sweater.
Ms. Young!
REST IN PEACE
FROM JEJU PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
When is Mr. Yoon coming?
I can't even get a hold of him.
He'll probably come with his colleagues.
Does going through things like this often
make you become numb to them?
I thought it would.
I thought I had become like that.
I mean, both you and I don't really know
Ms. Young well.
But...
Even two days ago, all of us drank
and hung out together.
How can something like this happen?
She got killed by the prick
we've been after,
the murderer we haven't caught.
Gosh. And why have her parents
lost so much weight?
Even catching the killer
won't erase their wound
from this, will it?
Let's go.
How could they do that?
Where have you been?
I asked you to protect my daughter!
I asked you to keep Eun-soo safe.
What is this?
-What is this mess?
-Sir.
You scum.
How dare you set foot in here?
Get out, you scumbag!
Sir, I don't think now is a good time.
You killed her.
-You killed my daughter.
-Why have you been just spectating?
Why didn't you fight?
Why did you do nothing
but hide for all these years?
Si-mok, shut up.
You taught us to use the law to fight.
What have you been doing?
Do you think you did it for your family?
Not because you were scared?
-Be quiet!
-Enough!
Please stop.
Sir, we should leave for now.
Dong-jae.
Do not act up ever again.
I apologize, sir.
Are your shoulders made of steel or what?
Don't do that ever again.
That's from 4:48 p.m. yesterday.
Ms. Young got into a taxi at 4:06 p.m.
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
and got off in front of her place
at 4:47 p.m.
She was caught walking into her place
on the camera at 4:48 p.m.
Then she left home again at 4:55 p.m.
She left seven minutes
after she entered home.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG
Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
That was the last time she was seen.
-Yes, see you.
-When we showed her those photos.
You should get back to work.
The last time.
Go on.
She went straight home after that.
We're investigating this area now,
but her family has no idea
why she came home at that hour.
Aside from that day,
she had never come home
during her work hours.
Except for the day
she came over to my place,
she didn't even go anywhere else recently.
She always went straight to work
from home and never strayed.
And the knife we found that day
isn't from the scene. It looks like
the killer bought it recently.
We're trying to track down
where it was bought.
What do you think?
Do you think it's the same guy's doing?
How's your head by the way?
We found Ga-young.
Her mom moved her to keep her safe.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG, 4:53 P.M.
She disappeared
after leaving home at 4:55 p.m.
PROSECUTOR YOUNG
-What's up?
-Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
Is it urgent?
I want to talk to you briefly.
PERSONAL DETAILS REPORT
GA-YOUNG KIM
I'll call you back in a bit.
Yes, okay.
All right.
He's not in a good mood right now.
Give it to me. I'll get his approval...
I can't give this to you.
"I can't give this to you"?
Ma'am, an attempt was made
to check on your assets,
everything from your stocks
to real estate properties and art pieces.
I traced it thinking that it must've been
about taxes, but the request
was made by your husband,
Chief Secretary Chang-jun Lee.
HUSBAND
HUSBAND
Did I notice anything strange
the last time I saw her?
I don't know if I can say it was strange,
but that day,
I actually saw Ms. Young
standing in front of your door
for a few seconds before going in.
She seemed to eavesdrop
on your conversation inside your office.
I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.
He's just been sitting on it
for three years though.
What does Mr. Young have?
Hello.
Are you saying she overheard
our conversation?
Is that why she went home?
Was that the reason she suddenly
went home at that hour?
Was it because of me?
Well...
The two of us were left alone
inside my place for a few minutes,
but she didn't say anything special.
She spilled some juice.
It splashed onto Mr. Yoon's shirt,
so we didn't really have time to talk.
Oh, god.
She heard me asking you
what Mr. Young has.
If she went home because of it
and met the killer on the way...
Ms. Kim, are you inside?
I was getting home from my part-time job.
Ms. Kim.
Are you inside?
Ms. Kim, are you there?
-Is anyone inside?
-He wasn't looking for me,
so I didn't think I needed to answer.
I went there just in case.
That was the only place I knew.
But...
Ms. Young.
Ms. Young...
Ms. Young?
Ms. Young.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Please make sure that her parents
don't see her body.
If they see it,
the rest of their lives will be...
-I'm not asking about the color.
-Yes, I know that there are many.
-Yes, a knife with a rose motif.
-We want to find a company that made it.
-No.
-The motif is on the blade.
-The blade.
-No, the manufacturer.
-Yes, rose.
-Thank you.
-Regular kitchen knife.
-Right.
-It's black.
-You make them? Hold on, please.
No, it's black.
-Black.
-It's not this big.
-Black...
-Only black ones?
-It's soot black.
-Yes, hello.
-I'm the one who sent the photos earlier.
-That's right.
-I don't see it.
-We're looking for the knife.
-Yes.
-Gosh, how can it be...
Is it the same one?
What if the killer had the knife
prepared in advance?
It's possible that we got
the perimeter wrong.
Then we should widen our search.
We'll search the entire city.
Hello, I'm with the police.
We're just wondering
if you've seen this lady.
I didn't work that day.
Is there a security camera
that overlooks this spot?
-That must be it.
-Yes, that's right.
Is there any camera on that side?
Hello, we're from the police.
-I've never seen her.
-Okay.
-I'm not sure.
-We're the police.
Hello. I've never seen her.
Excuse me. Hello.
-No.
-I've never seen her.
-I see. Thank you.
-No problem.
I heard you found the manufacturer.
Yes, but from this apartment complex
to the scene,
there are over 100 stores
they supply it to.
Everyone is visiting the stores
at the moment
to find out if anyone bought
the knife in the last few days.
Right, we're talking about
from Seongdong-gu to Yongsan-gu.
There must be a ton of stores.
Excuse me. I'm from the police.
Do you happen to know this person?
You should leave now, sir.
The car is ready.
All right.
Ms. Lee.
Are you preparing to divorce me?
Are you trying to calculate how much
you can make through our divorce?
Have you had a change of heart
now that the girl woke up?
You're making a move right away.
Tell me.
What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
I know you're sorry, but for what?
Yeon-jae.
There's no other woman in my life.
I'm not being like this out of jealousy.
We're not the type to quibble
and get divorced like other couples do.
We should at least try to hide
our ugly sides from each other.
I've never cheated on you.
Then why are you sorry?
You shouldn't have come that day.
Your brother's trial.
The first time we met.
Or...
I should've listened to your father.
Whether he's a total rogue or not,
had I let the corporate heir go,
you wouldn't have been interested in me.
Are you saying our relationship
was wrong from the start?
Why are you being like this?
What on earth are you...
What are you thinking?
I'll be late.
Father must be waiting.
You know how much he values punctuality.
Let's talk at home.
The flight ticket.
Are you preparing to divorce me?
I tidied everything up already.
You should take a break.
-Hi.
-Excuse me, sir.
-I don't see Mr. Woo.
-He's away on a business trip.
Does he travel for work?
Do you need something from him?
No, I don't.
-Where's everyone else?
-They'll be here soon.
We began investing in the savings bank.
The word will spread
in the market by tomorrow.
We made it look like the investment
was made from a foreign fund in Hong Kong,
so we just have to wait
for the stock price to go up.
-When will you withdraw the investment?
-As quickly as possible.
We just need to sell it
when they're still distracted.
Don't you think they'll complain later
about it being sold to foreign capital?
Even the last time...
When it comes to business,
I'll handle everything. You just need
to show your face.
Understood.
I need to use the washroom.
They're here, sir.
My gosh.
Oh, my.
Thank you for coming.
How have you been?
It's been a long time.
I haven't seen you in so long.
My gosh. I didn't know
that you'd be here, Mr. Chief Secretary.
I wanted to be part
of this meaningful meeting.
It sounds like those he serves are
also very interested in this matter.
-Is that right?
-Have a seat.
Sure.
Please excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry we couldn't meet sooner.
I'm the CEO of W Savings Bank, Ki-ho Song.
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
Have you met the Director
of the Financial Supervisory Service?
Yes, we met once after I took office.
Mr. Song, you'll need to become
pluckier now.
Rumors about your bank being insolvent
and that it'll be bought out soon
will spread thanks to
the media's groundwork.
Please don't be taken aback by it.
Yes, I shall follow your advice.
When the bank is faltering, JR Holdings
will come into the picture like a savior,
looking like they're buying it
with grudging reluctance.
When that's happening, all you need to do
is keep your eyes closed.
-Like this?
-You'll need to close them more tightly.
Is this better?
-Like this?
-Yes, that's perfect.
What's missing?
They took it.
Those scums.
Chang-jun and Yun-beom.
When?
I was out of it earlier,
but I wanted to check it after hearing
what you said at the funeral.
It was here yesterday.
It's evidence of tax evasion
Yun-beom Lee committed.
It's about the money
he turned into stocks and gave
to his children illegally.
Had he paid taxes on it properly,
it would've been 200 billion won.
Taxes alone.
Is that why you were framed for bribery
three years ago?
I checked it after you left yesterday.
I opened it after you asked me
to give it to you,
and everything was intact.
Was there a time
no one was home after that?
Yesterday. Only briefly in the afternoon.
Was it around 4:40 p.m.?
Ms. Young was the only one captured
on security cameras around that time.
Eun-soo?
She probably took it.
Is that why...
Because she had it...
Is that why those scums...
She was...
She was killed because of me.
I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.
But he's just been sitting on it
for three years.
Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?
I want to talk to you briefly.
Hello, Lieutenant Han.
I'm calling to report a theft.
What are you looking for?
I asked you what you're looking for.
I don't know either.
It must be the police.
What's been stolen?
This...
Zero and seven?
This wasn't drawn at once.
I see repetitions of similar lines.
She must've corrected it many times.
She used a pen for all other pages.
It looks like she used a pencil
for this torn-out page on purpose,
to draw the shape she wanted.
I bet it's not a shape that she imagined.
It must mean that she saw something.
She must've wanted to draw what she saw.
That's why she kept correcting it.
Are we sure that these are numbers though?
Why do they look like this?
Lieutenant Han!
Where did she see this? And how?
-Lieutenant Han!
-Yes, sir.
Go check if it's possible to jump up onto
the hallway from outside of the building.
Yes, sir.
His daughter was the only one caught
on the cameras around that time.
The only way the thief could've gotten in
without passing by the security office
is through the balcony window
or by jumping up onto the hallway.
It's almost impossible.
There's nowhere to tie anything.
She left seven minutes
after she entered home.
Would it have been possible
to draw it in seven minutes?
Where did she see this? And how?
Here, the office,
my place and Lieutenant Han's place.
His clothes look similar.
I couldn't see his face,
but I think it was this umbrella.
The umbrella.
Where and how did she see this?
Except for the day
she came over to my place,
she didn't even go anywhere else recently.
She always went straight to work
from home and never strayed.
There's no overlap at all.
Zero and seven? What is that?
Ga-young said those words.
It might be what she saw
during the abduction
or something related to the culprit.
She saw those two numbers? Zero and seven?
Zero and seven.
Zero and seven?
Are we sure that these are numbers though?
Why do they look like this?
T.
D.
T.
I'll go bring some fruit.
The two of us were left alone
inside my place for a few minutes,
but she didn't say anything special.
She spilled some juice.
It splashed onto Mr. Yoon's shirt,
so we didn't really have time to talk.
I'm a lightweight.
How can you be a lightweight?
You said you were a Marine.
Didn't you say you served
in the Special Forces?
I don't think the thief got in
through elsewhere.
All this time, he's been around...
What did you say?
I know who the killer is.
Who is it?
Track his location immediately.
Ms. Young heard about the zero and seven
for the first time
on the rooftop at your place two days ago.
Then she was killed last night.
In that one day, the only time
she could've sat down at her desk
and drawn it was when she got home
from your place two nights ago.
When she stopped by her place
yesterday afternoon right before she died,
she only had seven minutes.
He's on the Yeongjong Bridge.
He must be headed to the airport.
And had Ga-young
seen those numbers in the basement
or while she was being dragged somewhere,
Ms. Young, whose trail doesn't overlap
with Ga-young's at all,
wouldn't have been able
to see the numbers.
Have you gotten in?
I guess you'll take off soon.
Don't call me until I contact you.
If she didn't see it at a specific place,
it must be a person.
She must've seen it on someone.
Like Ga-young, Ms. Young
also saw the killer.
Then how did they see numbers on a person?
On clothes or belongings?
Whether they're numbers or not,
how can they be on someone's body?
It must be a tattoo.
Where is he? Where did he go?
Number three. I'll go to number three.
-Hey, is Detective Jang here too?
-Hurry up.
-He's here.
-Hey, you made it.
Guys, listen up.
Tune into Channel Three.
-Team One should search the floor below.
-Yes, sir.
Geon, you should go that way and...
From the time she first heard
about the numbers
to the time she drew the tattoo at home,
-The rest should follow me.
-she only saw
-Move!
-those of us at your place.
It means that the killer
is one of the people
who were there that night.
INTEGRATED CONTROL CENTER
Had Ms. Young seen the tattoo
when she was with me,
I would've seen it too.
There are three people who were
left alone with her
on the rooftop that night.
Lieutenant Han, Detective Jang
and Mr. Yoon.
Lieutenant Han and Detective Jang
can't have any tattoos.
Had they had tattoos, they wouldn't have
been able to become police officers.
I'm sorry.
The person Ms. Young saw
is Mr. Yoon.
Just a second, please.
We'll need to inspect you.
Stop right there!
Hey! We found him!
-He's going to the second floor.
-Stop right there!
We found the suspect!
Moving to the transportation center!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Gosh, what's going on?
ALL EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
STRANGER
-Why did you kill him?
-Because I had to.
Why at the airport of all places?
Is it a coincidence?
Is 80 billion won going to be donated
-to my foundation?
-By whose order?
It'll be brought to trial soon.
It can't be brought up by anyone.
What is he up to?
Why did you kill Eun-soo Young?
Who is that son of bitch?
It'd be meaningless
to take down just a tip of the iceberg.
On the day Eun-soo was killed,
the file disappeared.
If she was killed while possessing it...
Si-mok, is this really a coincidence?
