HANKOOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
What the hell is this?
A plaster cast was found last night
at a nightlife spot in Hwayang-ri.
A bartender found it
when she was taking out the trash.
It was a cast formed like a human's face.
On the inside surface,
traces of blood and scarfskin
with hair was found.
It looks like it wasn't just scarfskin,
but some inner skin as well.
According to the DNA results, this came
from a female with a B blood type.
The blood coagulation looks strange.
That's because of the plaster. The blood
wouldn't have been absorbed well.
But why...
Maybe they were just actually trying
to make a plaster cast.
Wrong.
They just poured it over the face
without thinking about it
and took it off with no caution at all.
Why was this case sent to us?
According to the results
of the skin biopsy,
medical products were found,
and there was a possibility
of a genetic disease.
If you look at the paper,
there is a list of medical products
that they found.
Chloroquine, azathioprine, hydrocortisone.
It's obviously lupus.
You're right.
According to the prescriptions,
it seems like this
is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
That was pretty amazing. My goodness.
Lup...
Roop...
Are you talking about the roof
as in a sunroof?
Come on.
That's roof. It ends with an "f."
Your lower lip goes like this. Roof.
This is lupus. Say it like this.
Lupus. Got it?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease
that messes up your immune system
and attacks your own body.
It also causes inflammation
on your entire body,
especially on the skin's mucous membrane.
It's not typically fatal,
but it's a rare and incurable disease.
Hey, Dr. Yoon.
The medical product analysis result
just came out,
and we found Tetrodotoxin
in the skin tissue.
-Tetrodotoxin?
-What is that?
Globefish toxin.
Globefish toxin?
People still use that traditional method?
In order to protect the evidence,
I couldn't actually pour plaster
and make an actual plaster cast.
But through 3D skinning,
I created the face of that plaster cast.
Why is does it look like that?
It looks like she was in extreme pain.
If she had globefish toxin,
it's understandable
to be in that much pain.
The important thing is that it was found.
The Globefish toxin is
what we always struggle with.
Even a 0.5 milligram of it can be deadly,
and it's often difficult
to find through autopsy.
If it was found this easily,
there had to be a lot of it.
Then the actual owner of
that plaster cast is definitely dead.
What kind of a psycho is this?
Why would they do something like that?
So that means,
that they fed her some Globefish toxin
and while she was intoxicated and dying,
they created that plaster cast.
But then,
why did they make the plaster cast?
A death mask.
What mask?
Death mask.
It's a plaster cast made out
of a person's face right after they died.
It's an old tradition
that honors the dead.
A death mask should be created
after death, right?
Considering the results,
the mask was created right
before she died, as he said.
That's impossible.
It might be someone who enjoys doing this.
Like what Detective Bae said,
this person is a complete psycho.
Why are there security cameras
except for this spot?
They wouldn't have thought about it
if they were just throwing it away.
Those psychos are a lot more careful
than we think.
They try really hard to hide
even the tiniest things.
They knew that there
are no security cameras here.
I'm just saying that the reason
to threw it away is strange.
If they really wanted to hide it,
they wouldn't have thrown it here.
They could have just destroyed it
to get rid of the evidence completely.
It's not like they wanted
to show it off either.
Right. If they wanted to show it off,
they would have thrown away
the dead bodies in the open.
Well, it's also hard to say
that it was just a mistake.
There must be a reason.
It's impossible to understand
what's in those psychos' heads.
What a crazy fool...
That hurts!
What kind of an idiot
would leave a screw here?
My precious blood.
Hey, that's disgusting!
What the...
You always use that hand
to scratch your toes!
That's just gross!
Hello?
Yes, Seong-do.
Did you find anything?
According to the results,
she was indeed a lupus patient.
We're working on restoring the face.
But the lupus is the problem.
The information on these patients
are too broad, as we have expected.
Even after filtering out
the gender and blood type,
it seems impossible
to identify the person.
I was assuming that would be the case.
Even if we restore the face,
it's useless if we don't
have something to compare it to.
Seong-do.
Did you run a complete blood examination?
No. We didn't think it would be possible,
since she was already dead.
Just go ahead and submit it,
even if it's difficult to get any results.
I don't drink coffee.
-But...
-I hate it. I really do.
How have you been?
Yes...
What are you doing here?
The chief called me to ask about a case.
She's here, right?
Sure, of course.
She's always here. She's in there.
See you later.
Why now? Jeez.
Who is she?
Let's get coffee some other time.
I'm asking you about that woman.
Do you remember
that case by any chance?
An amateur photographer took photos
of a woman dying 30 years ago,
after feeding her some Potassium Cyanide.
Of course,
I remember.
It was a pretty big issue.
There is a high possibility
that this is a similar case.
It's not because of money or revenge,
just someone's aesthetic desire,
and their obsessive-compulsive disorder.
That means the plaster cast
wasn't meant to be a trophy.
Yes.
Like you said, it was a work of art.
The suspect is not necessarily
a psychopath,
but someone who has an OCD for aesthetics.
There's a chance that he's a paranoiac.
After feeding the victim Globefish toxin,
the suspect let her die in severe pain,
leaving that beauty behind.
Is there any chance
for this to be a serial killing?
These killers tend to be serial killers,
so this case is probably not an exception.
It's hard to determine
the suspect's gender.
There's a possibility that the suspect
is a professional artist,
but this is just a guess.
It might be someone
in a different field who admires art.
Everything is good, but...
Miss Beautiful Profiler.
I can't go to the police station
and ask them to arrest anyone
who is aesthetic or has OCD.
You should be more specific
with what you're saying.
Isn't a profiler supposed
to be like a psychic?
You may have slightly misunderstood
what profiling is about.
Shaping the suspect specifically
like in the movies or dramas
is actually very dangerous in real life.
It might confuse the investigation.
Narrowing down the suspects
that you have come up with is what we do.
Even if she just talks garbage like that,
she probably gets paid more
than me, right?
Sure.
It's probably double your salary
or even higher.
Double or more?
And I get two times that double.
Like you said,
Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
was confirmed from the blood
found on the plaster cast.
After narrowing down the range of victims,
there are 75 people left on the list.
Out of those 75, a woman
has been reported missing.
Yoon-mi Na, 20 years old.
A female college student.
She disappeared after she left
for her part-time job a week ago.
Her parents reported her missing,
but they didn't know where she worked.
How about the call records?
The designated team
hasn't gone that far yet,
so I'm going to look into it.
Also, here's the restored face
from the plaster mask.
I think it's safe to say
that she's the girl in that picture.
It's a small chance,
but hopefully she's still alive.
I hope so too, but it's not looking good.
Detective Bae.
A dead woman with plaster on her face
was found at a construction site
in Ilwon-dong.
She's a different person.
What is going on?
Is that really plaster on her face?
It is plaster.
Looking at her pupils and skin,
she was probably poisoned.
Her fingerprints are damaged.
Did you find anything to identify her?
According to the forensics,
she didn't have anything with her.
But, if there is a security camera there,
why would they abandon the body here?
She wasn't abandoned. She was hiding here.
Can't you see that her feet are wounded?
She hid well, but she wasn't lucky enough.
By the way, don't they check
their security cameras every day?
They only check it every two or three days
since it's a construction site.
Hold on.
Play it again.
The suspect immediately recognized it
from the entrance.
The suspect knew she was going to die.
That's why the suspect didn't follow her.
As we expected,
the cause of death was poison.
Further examination will determine
what type of poison,
but if this is like the previous case,
then it's most likely
to be globefish toxin.
There were no broken bones or contusions,
but these marks on her neck
are probably from a Taser.
Also the marks on her wrists and ankles
show signs of being tied up.
From her heels, you can tell
that she was dragged.
The lacerations and abrasions
on the feet show
that she was running away.
There are no signs of rape.
Nothing was found from her fingerprints
because of the wounds.
I think the suspect did it on purpose.
The estimated time of death
is approximately 46 to 50 hours ago.
She probably died right after she hid
in the construction site.
But if she was running away,
does that mean that she didn't ingest
that much poison?
The amount of poison
doesn't really matter.
Just a drop of Tetrodotoxin
is strong enough to kill a person.
Then, what would have happened
to the person in the plaster cast?
She might have been abandoned
in a secret place
or completely disposed of.
How many victims could there be?
How many?
We identified the corpse from yesterday.
Han-bi Jung, 21 years old.
A female college student.
She disappeared five days ago,
after leaving for her part-time job.
Part-time job?
Part-time job...
HAN-BI JUNG, 21 YEARS OLD
I said I wanted Korean food.
The serving is so small.
You're hard to please.
Stop whining and eat your food!
Jeez, it's so greasy!
Can I get some kimchi?
Why would an Italian restaurant
serve kimchi?
All restaurants should have it!
This is Korea.
Okay, keep your voice down and eat.
By the way, Dr. Han.
Please use that smart brain of yours
to recap what is happening.
If you stop trying to order kimchi,
I will recap it for you.
So, a corpse was found
at the construction site last night.
Also, a plaster cast
was found two days ago,
but that corpse was found
about three days after its death.
-So that means it was...
-So that means
the suspect threw away the plaster cast
-a day after the corpse was found.
-Exactly.
After the victim died,
the suspect threw away
another victim's plaster cast.
But why would the suspect
throw away another plaster cast
the very next day?
Why?
Why?
Whatever the reason is,
it's hard to figure things out
with just those facts.
We need one more lead
to know what's really happening.
If I knew that, I would solve it myself.
What's good about being a genius?
You're useless.
I feel gross.
Chinese food would have been better.
At least pay for your food and complain.
What are all these empty bottles?
I thought I had one left.
Gosh, I feel so gross.
Detective Bae.
Han-bi Jung and Yoon-mi Na.
Since they both said
that they had part-time jobs,
-I looked at part-time job websites.
-Okay.
They were both registered
on the same website.
Also, they both replied
to the same part-time job position
which was plaster modeling.
Plaster modeling? That means...
That was it!
Who was the recruiter?
Do-cheol Kim, 38 years old.
He's an art professor
at Sungwon University.
Both of the victims called him
the same day that they died.
We have no time to lose. Let's go!
I'm traveling for a week.
Call me if you need me.
Let's move.
Give me a gun.
Give me one...
Who are you?
I'm Professor Kim's student.
Where is he?
He said that he's going
to be gone for a couple days.
Freeze! Don't move!
It's there! It's right over there!
Never mind.
What is it?
I'm not sure.
It doesn't look like it's used for art.
Joo-hyun!
When was the last time
that you saw Do-cheol Kim?
About four to five days ago.
Did you notice anything weird?
Not at all.
He's a generous man.
He's also kind and friendly.
Generous my ass.
Your professor is a psychotic murderer.
That's impossible!
He's not that kind of a person!
You can even ask Joo-hyun!
How do you know her?
She's my colleague
and Professor Kim's student.
Then why would he tie
his student up like that?
You're hiding something
for him, aren't you?
Tell me the truth.
Was he gay?
Or maybe he was perverted?
He wasn't.
You can ask other students as well.
He's not that type of person.
Detective Bae.
According to the handwriting,
the note was written
by Do-cheol Kim himself.
He was a great teacher.
Being the kind person he is,
he teaches us to make good artwork.
Professor Kim.
I passed out as soon as I opened the door.
Did you see Do-cheol Kim's face?
No.
I couldn't see the face
because he had a weird mask on.
When I woke up, I was in the car.
I couldn't speak or move.
Were you in the trunk?
No.
I think I was at the backseat.
I thought I was going to die.
I was praying that I wouldn't die in pain.
But then...
Pull over to the side.
I heard the police siren.
Did you hear the suspect
or anyone else's voice?
No.
Not at all.
You said that you woke up in the car.
Is there anything you can remember?
It could be anything you heard or smelled.
I heard the wind blowing.
I think the window was open.
I smelled acacia,
and after a little while,
I smelled something like gasoline
that is used for asphalt.
Yes.
I remember the sound of the GPS.
Do you remember any district name?
Jin...
I think it was some intersection
with a name like that.
I don't remember the middle part.
Also, I think the car that took me there
was different from the one
that brought me back.
How was it different?
When I was on the way there,
it felt spacious inside.
But on the way back, it felt cramped.
So on both occasions,
you were not in the trunk?
No.
Assuming that the corpse we found
at the construction site
didn't get that far,
the district that starts with Jin
within a two to four kilometer radius
can only be Jinsan-dong.
Also about a week ago near the entrance,
there was an asphalt road construction.
Jinsan-dong's entrance
is especially known for acacia road.
Jinsan-dong.
Asphalt.
Acacia.
All of them match.
Is Jinsan-dong a big place?
It's not that big, but there are a lot
of small hills, fields and secluded areas.
Detective Bae!
The black powder found in the art room
turned out to be rubber.
-Rubber powder?
-Yes.
It was raw rubber,
which is not usually used for art.
That means it was moved there
from another place.
Find out if there are any rubber factories
or storages in Jinsan-dong right now.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Here, have some.
Here.
Thank you.
Sure.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
Since the police are protecting me,
I feel safe.
Can I help you with something?
It's not a big deal.
You said that you heard a siren
of a police car, right?
How did you know it was the police?
Police cars, fire trucks and ambulances.
Don't they all sound similar?
I'm not sure about the siren itself,
but I heard someone talking
through a microphone as well.
I heard it a lot on the streets before.
The sound of police microphones.
That's true.
Did you hurt your ankle?
I must have sprained my ankle
without even realizing it.
Hey, Detective Bae.
Where are you?
We found the killer's hideout.
It's Do-cheol Kim.
Sir.
Take a look at this.
You killed yourself
after killing everyone?
What do you mean, Do-cheol Kim is dead?
He probably killed himself
because he felt trapped.
What a crazy fool.
How many corpses were found?
Seven.
There's seven dead bodies.
Jeez.
Detective Bae.
All the corpses are still
out there, right?
Detective Bae.
-Did you talk to the Guri office?
-Yes.
Why did they go back
if they were this close?
They said that they weren't here
for the past three days.
What are you talking about?
The victim said she heard them!
The sound of sirens
and voices from a microphone!
I said that, but they said
that they only patrol here
every two to three days.
and they didn't find anyone in here.
What does that...
Detective Bae.
We missed something.
Dr. Han.
I think we were tricked.
I think we were tricked.
Let's go back to the very beginning.
If the suspect threw out
the plaster cast on purpose.
It was meant for us
to start the investigation.
The killer already knew
that the running victim would die,
and was afraid of being revealed.
The suspect acted like a victim
and revealed everything about the hideout.
So that we would come here
and find Do-cheol Kim.
Detective Bae.
Do-cheol Kim's autopsy results came out,
and there were Taser marks
on his neck and his back.
He wouldn't do that to himself.
Do-cheol Kim was just used.
She said she heard the police sirens
even though the police didn't come here.
She made it look like
the suspect freaked out
and brought her back to the art room.
She then appeared to us as a victim.
She manipulated us.
Her heels.
Her heels?
All the corpses
had severely wounded heels.
That means,
the suspect dragged all
the victims around in barefoot
so that they can't run away.
If the suspect were a man,
he would carried them around.
But because it was a girl,
that wouldn't have been possible.
That's why everyone's heels
were all messed up.
But, Joo-hyun Na's heels were clean.
Her heels.
I must have sprained my ankle
without even realizing it.
Call the hospital and tell them
to keep her tied in there!
Yes.
What?
What are you talking about?
What happened?
I think she escaped.
What happened to the guards?
They were killed.
Damn it!
What about the security cameras?
It doesn't show her leaving the room.
This is Joo-hyun Na's cell phone.
Take a look.
What the...
It's an internet protocol camera.
The footage is transferred
to the server and through that,
she can watch us live.
This is how she knew everything. Darn it!
Hey, did you look into the phone?
Yes, it was a fake phone.
What a girl.
By the way,
where is Dr. Han?
Car number 5759, pull over to the side.
Car number 5759, pull over to the side.
So it was true that
Joo-hyun Na heard a police siren?
Yes.
There was another person.
It was someone else
who turned on the audio.
Who?
Then why did she escaped?
The real suspect might have kidnapped her.
We should have known,
when she said that there
were two different cars.
The car on the way back
was the killer's car.
Hold on.
When she was in the second car,
she said that she was
in the backseat, right?
Yes.
Do-cheol Kim's car was a minivan
so there was no trunk.
But if it was a normal car,
why not put her in the trunk?
You might get inspected for that.
What if there was a reason?
What if there were other corpses?
No.
A compact car.
A car that uses liquid petroleum gas.
A compact car has a small trunk
and if it's a liquid petroleum gas car,
you can't fit someone in there
because of the gas tank.
A CAR USED BY A HANDICAP
A car used by a handicap.
Most handicapped cars
are liquid petroleum gas cars.
A CAR USED BY A HANDICAP
No one is home.
The neighbor said she left
about two hours ago.
Check all security cameras!
It shouldn't be too hard to find her!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Why did she kidnap Joo-hyun Na again?
To make it look like she killed herself
and make her a suspect like Mr. Kim.
We have to be quick.
We don't even know where she went!
Darn it.
You're the one who is in a rush.
The suspect's car was found near
Siheung Redevelopment District.
Yoo-kyung.
Please don't kill me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong?
Do you really think so?
Did you stay up all night?
Yes.
Good job!
You tried getting his attention
with your piece of crap.
And with your cheap smile.
Your cheap actions
polluted his eyes.
His polluted eyes couldn't be cured
and he couldn't see
what a real masterpiece is.
That's not true.
I never did that.
You must have misunderstood it.
Have I?
Then do you think
I'm doing this because I'm jealous of you?
Don't fool yourself.
I'm just trying to fix what is wrong.
Search the car first.
Also the storage.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Freeze!
Let's stop this now.
You psycho!
Dr. Han.
Joo-hyun.
This is the phone you cloned
from your professor's phone.
This is a voice modulator.
Your professor posted a job opening,
but no one came,
because you intercepted everything
with your clone phone.
You even disguised your voice.
Right?
You killed your professor
and tried to kill
an innocent person for a disguise?
Regardless of what I say,
you won't understand me.
I was desperate and righteous.
Righteous?
Really?
Yes.
Isn't making the world more beautiful
the right thing to do?
Professor Kim
was my greatest mentor.
But he didn't understand my work.
That was his limit
and what I had to work on.
By chance,
I saw that person who left me in awe.
It was like when Stendhal saw Beatrice.
It was a blessing that was only
for the chosen ones.
You're right.
It's murder.
But those people left behind
something greater than
what they could ever imagine.
That something is more valuable
than their lives.
An artwork that is made
to impress the world
already means that it's not real.
Real art comes from blood and sweat.
There was enough blood and sweat in that.
But from what I see...
Do you even know how this was made?
No way.
How could you do this?
Isn't this made from
genuine blood and sweat?
This is wrong!
You're insane.
You're the one who taught me
that art was greater than human beings.
I can't let you do this.
You're awake?
What are you doing?
You're about to see something great
that you would never see in your life.
No.
Stop it, Yoo-kyung!
Just wait.
When this piece is finished,
you will be next.
No!
Get out of here. Hurry!
Run!
That man
almost ruined everything.
Until the end, he didn't realize
that what he was doing was a mistake.
Stop with your nonsense.
So are you saying
that you did nothing wrong?
I did one thing wrong.
I got caught,
and I'm not able
to leave something behind.
Whatever.
What did you just say?
Your professor almost ruined everything?
On the other hand,
did you ever think
that you ruined the world?
The world was never clean.
Cleansing is what art does.
Son of a bitch!
You are really a piece of crap.
Is that all you can say
after killing those people?
I never killed anyone without a purpose.
That was my principle in this world.
Your principle is to catch criminals.
Yours is to cure people.
It's the same for people
who are trying to earn money.
My principle is just the same.
I gave everything I had,
for what I believed in.
Thank goodness that
you only have one principle.
Otherwise, you would have killed
the entire human race.
I don't know anything
about principle or art,
but I do know one thing for sure.
Torturing people to death
is murder, not art.
It doesn't matter how you do it.
That's all there is to it.
You're saying that now,
but what people remember after some time
won't be you,
but me and my artworks.
That's the history...
and the truth.
Let me tell you something interesting.
When the investigation is over,
all of your plaster casts
will be disposed.
All of them.
I will dispose them with my own hands.
I will turn them into dust.
I will destroy them.
No.
No way!
That's the history
and the truth that I know.
Wrong principles must be corrected
and those who have done wrong
must be punished.
Now that I think about it,
it's a little confusing.
Did she go crazy because
of her extreme principles?
Or did she have those principles
because she was crazy?
There are crazy people
who pretend to be normal.
They seem normal,
but everyone who ruined the world
were people with crazy principles.
I'm guessing that is also
why Hitler killed all those Jews.
Goodness, look at you talking
about world history.
Even preschool students know that.
This world has problems
because of the rich and educated.
You're right.
Intelligent people tend to be more greedy.
Then why are you so greedy,
especially when it comes to food?
That is my principle.
"Eat when you can."
You mean your principle is "eating
without paying."
That's instinct.
How shameless.
How refreshing.
The bill is going to be big tonight.
That's my favorite.
How can he sleep so soundly
after killing his dad?
You end up sleeping for 20 hours a day.
This sleeping prince has to wake up
in order for us to continue
with the investigation.
It's 120 billion won?
It's 120 billion won?
Each one will inherit 50 percent.
It's all a lie.
Everyone related to
this family seems doubtful.
He was trying to frame him.
All I need is a billion won.
You're going to check
on the patient this late?
He felt like he was being watched.
There are six people
who have access to this house.
The suspect is...

HANKOOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
What the hell is this?
A plaster cast was found last night
at a nightlife spot in Hwayang-ri.
A bartender found it
when she was taking out the trash.
It was a cast formed like a human's face.
On the inside surface,
traces of blood and scarfskin
with hair was found.
It looks like it wasn't just scarfskin,
but some inner skin as well.
According to the DNA results, this came
from a female with a B blood type.
The blood coagulation looks strange.
That's because of the plaster. The blood
wouldn't have been absorbed well.
But why...
Maybe they were just actually trying
to make a plaster cast.
Wrong.
They just poured it over the face
without thinking about it
and took it off with no caution at all.
Why was this case sent to us?
According to the results
of the skin biopsy,
medical products were found,
and there was a possibility
of a genetic disease.
If you look at the paper,
there is a list of medical products
that they found.
Chloroquine, azathioprine, hydrocortisone.
It's obviously lupus.
You're right.
According to the prescriptions,
it seems like this
is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
That was pretty amazing. My goodness.
Lup...
Roop...
Are you talking about the roof
as in a sunroof?
Come on.
That's roof. It ends with an "f."
Your lower lip goes like this. Roof.
This is lupus. Say it like this.
Lupus. Got it?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease
that messes up your immune system
and attacks your own body.
It also causes inflammation
on your entire body,
especially on the skin's mucous membrane.
It's not typically fatal,
but it's a rare and incurable disease.
Hey, Dr. Yoon.
The medical product analysis result
just came out,
and we found Tetrodotoxin
in the skin tissue.
-Tetrodotoxin?
-What is that?
Globefish toxin.
Globefish toxin?
People still use that traditional method?
In order to protect the evidence,
I couldn't actually pour plaster
and make an actual plaster cast.
But through 3D skinning,
I created the face of that plaster cast.
Why is does it look like that?
It looks like she was in extreme pain.
If she had globefish toxin,
it's understandable
to be in that much pain.
The important thing is that it was found.
The Globefish toxin is
what we always struggle with.
Even a 0.5 milligram of it can be deadly,
and it's often difficult
to find through autopsy.
If it was found this easily,
there had to be a lot of it.
Then the actual owner of
that plaster cast is definitely dead.
What kind of a psycho is this?
Why would they do something like that?
So that means,
that they fed her some Globefish toxin
and while she was intoxicated and dying,
they created that plaster cast.
But then,
why did they make the plaster cast?
A death mask.
What mask?
Death mask.
It's a plaster cast made out
of a person's face right after they died.
It's an old tradition
that honors the dead.
A death mask should be created
after death, right?
Considering the results,
the mask was created right
before she died, as he said.
That's impossible.
It might be someone who enjoys doing this.
Like what Detective Bae said,
this person is a complete psycho.
Why are there security cameras
except for this spot?
They wouldn't have thought about it
if they were just throwing it away.
Those psychos are a lot more careful
than we think.
They try really hard to hide
even the tiniest things.
They knew that there
are no security cameras here.
I'm just saying that the reason
to threw it away is strange.
If they really wanted to hide it,
they wouldn't have thrown it here.
They could have just destroyed it
to get rid of the evidence completely.
It's not like they wanted
to show it off either.
Right. If they wanted to show it off,
they would have thrown away
the dead bodies in the open.
Well, it's also hard to say
that it was just a mistake.
There must be a reason.
It's impossible to understand
what's in those psychos' heads.
What a crazy fool...
That hurts!
What kind of an idiot
would leave a screw here?
My precious blood.
Hey, that's disgusting!
What the...
You always use that hand
to scratch your toes!
That's just gross!
Hello?
Yes, Seong-do.
Did you find anything?
According to the results,
she was indeed a lupus patient.
We're working on restoring the face.
But the lupus is the problem.
The information on these patients
are too broad, as we have expected.
Even after filtering out
the gender and blood type,
it seems impossible
to identify the person.
I was assuming that would be the case.
Even if we restore the face,
it's useless if we don't
have something to compare it to.
Seong-do.
Did you run a complete blood examination?
No. We didn't think it would be possible,
since she was already dead.
Just go ahead and submit it,
even if it's difficult to get any results.
I don't drink coffee.
-But...
-I hate it. I really do.
How have you been?
Yes...
What are you doing here?
The chief called me to ask about a case.
She's here, right?
Sure, of course.
She's always here. She's in there.
See you later.
Why now? Jeez.
Who is she?
Let's get coffee some other time.
I'm asking you about that woman.
Do you remember
that case by any chance?
An amateur photographer took photos
of a woman dying 30 years ago,
after feeding her some Potassium Cyanide.
Of course,
I remember.
It was a pretty big issue.
There is a high possibility
that this is a similar case.
It's not because of money or revenge,
just someone's aesthetic desire,
and their obsessive-compulsive disorder.
That means the plaster cast
wasn't meant to be a trophy.
Yes.
Like you said, it was a work of art.
The suspect is not necessarily
a psychopath,
but someone who has an OCD for aesthetics.
There's a chance that he's a paranoiac.
After feeding the victim Globefish toxin,
the suspect let her die in severe pain,
leaving that beauty behind.
Is there any chance
for this to be a serial killing?
These killers tend to be serial killers,
so this case is probably not an exception.
It's hard to determine
the suspect's gender.
There's a possibility that the suspect
is a professional artist,
but this is just a guess.
It might be someone
in a different field who admires art.
Everything is good, but...
Miss Beautiful Profiler.
I can't go to the police station
and ask them to arrest anyone
who is aesthetic or has OCD.
You should be more specific
with what you're saying.
Isn't a profiler supposed
to be like a psychic?
You may have slightly misunderstood
what profiling is about.
Shaping the suspect specifically
like in the movies or dramas
is actually very dangerous in real life.
It might confuse the investigation.
Narrowing down the suspects
that you have come up with is what we do.
Even if she just talks garbage like that,
she probably gets paid more
than me, right?
Sure.
It's probably double your salary
or even higher.
Double or more?
And I get two times that double.
Like you said,
Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
was confirmed from the blood
found on the plaster cast.
After narrowing down the range of victims,
there are 75 people left on the list.
Out of those 75, a woman
has been reported missing.
Yoon-mi Na, 20 years old.
A female college student.
She disappeared after she left
for her part-time job a week ago.
Her parents reported her missing,
but they didn't know where she worked.
How about the call records?
The designated team
hasn't gone that far yet,
so I'm going to look into it.
Also, here's the restored face
from the plaster mask.
I think it's safe to say
that she's the girl in that picture.
It's a small chance,
but hopefully she's still alive.
I hope so too, but it's not looking good.
Detective Bae.
A dead woman with plaster on her face
was found at a construction site
in Ilwon-dong.
She's a different person.
What is going on?
Is that really plaster on her face?
It is plaster.
Looking at her pupils and skin,
she was probably poisoned.
Her fingerprints are damaged.
Did you find anything to identify her?
According to the forensics,
she didn't have anything with her.
But, if there is a security camera there,
why would they abandon the body here?
She wasn't abandoned. She was hiding here.
Can't you see that her feet are wounded?
She hid well, but she wasn't lucky enough.
By the way, don't they check
their security cameras every day?
They only check it every two or three days
since it's a construction site.
Hold on.
Play it again.
The suspect immediately recognized it
from the entrance.
The suspect knew she was going to die.
That's why the suspect didn't follow her.
As we expected,
the cause of death was poison.
Further examination will determine
what type of poison,
but if this is like the previous case,
then it's most likely
to be globefish toxin.
There were no broken bones or contusions,
but these marks on her neck
are probably from a Taser.
Also the marks on her wrists and ankles
show signs of being tied up.
From her heels, you can tell
that she was dragged.
The lacerations and abrasions
on the feet show
that she was running away.
There are no signs of rape.
Nothing was found from her fingerprints
because of the wounds.
I think the suspect did it on purpose.
The estimated time of death
is approximately 46 to 50 hours ago.
She probably died right after she hid
in the construction site.
But if she was running away,
does that mean that she didn't ingest
that much poison?
The amount of poison
doesn't really matter.
Just a drop of Tetrodotoxin
is strong enough to kill a person.
Then, what would have happened
to the person in the plaster cast?
She might have been abandoned
in a secret place
or completely disposed of.
How many victims could there be?
How many?
We identified the corpse from yesterday.
Han-bi Jung, 21 years old.
A female college student.
She disappeared five days ago,
after leaving for her part-time job.
Part-time job?
Part-time job...
HAN-BI JUNG, 21 YEARS OLD
I said I wanted Korean food.
The serving is so small.
You're hard to please.
Stop whining and eat your food!
Jeez, it's so greasy!
Can I get some kimchi?
Why would an Italian restaurant
serve kimchi?
All restaurants should have it!
This is Korea.
Okay, keep your voice down and eat.
By the way, Dr. Han.
Please use that smart brain of yours
to recap what is happening.
If you stop trying to order kimchi,
I will recap it for you.
So, a corpse was found
at the construction site last night.
Also, a plaster cast
was found two days ago,
but that corpse was found
about three days after its death.
-So that means it was...
-So that means
the suspect threw away the plaster cast
-a day after the corpse was found.
-Exactly.
After the victim died,
the suspect threw away
another victim's plaster cast.
But why would the suspect
throw away another plaster cast
the very next day?
Why?
Why?
Whatever the reason is,
it's hard to figure things out
with just those facts.
We need one more lead
to know what's really happening.
If I knew that, I would solve it myself.
What's good about being a genius?
You're useless.
I feel gross.
Chinese food would have been better.
At least pay for your food and complain.
What are all these empty bottles?
I thought I had one left.
Gosh, I feel so gross.
Detective Bae.
Han-bi Jung and Yoon-mi Na.
Since they both said
that they had part-time jobs,
-I looked at part-time job websites.
-Okay.
They were both registered
on the same website.
Also, they both replied
to the same part-time job position
which was plaster modeling.
Plaster modeling? That means...
That was it!
Who was the recruiter?
Do-cheol Kim, 38 years old.
He's an art professor
at Sungwon University.
Both of the victims called him
the same day that they died.
We have no time to lose. Let's go!
I'm traveling for a week.
Call me if you need me.
Let's move.
Give me a gun.
Give me one...
Who are you?
I'm Professor Kim's student.
Where is he?
He said that he's going
to be gone for a couple days.
Freeze! Don't move!
It's there! It's right over there!
Never mind.
What is it?
I'm not sure.
It doesn't look like it's used for art.
Joo-hyun!
When was the last time
that you saw Do-cheol Kim?
About four to five days ago.
Did you notice anything weird?
Not at all.
He's a generous man.
He's also kind and friendly.
Generous my ass.
Your professor is a psychotic murderer.
That's impossible!
He's not that kind of a person!
You can even ask Joo-hyun!
How do you know her?
She's my colleague
and Professor Kim's student.
Then why would he tie
his student up like that?
You're hiding something
for him, aren't you?
Tell me the truth.
Was he gay?
Or maybe he was perverted?
He wasn't.
You can ask other students as well.
He's not that type of person.
Detective Bae.
According to the handwriting,
the note was written
by Do-cheol Kim himself.
He was a great teacher.
Being the kind person he is,
he teaches us to make good artwork.
Professor Kim.
I passed out as soon as I opened the door.
Did you see Do-cheol Kim's face?
No.
I couldn't see the face
because he had a weird mask on.
When I woke up, I was in the car.
I couldn't speak or move.
Were you in the trunk?
No.
I think I was at the backseat.
I thought I was going to die.
I was praying that I wouldn't die in pain.
But then...
Pull over to the side.
I heard the police siren.
Did you hear the suspect
or anyone else's voice?
No.
Not at all.
You said that you woke up in the car.
Is there anything you can remember?
It could be anything you heard or smelled.
I heard the wind blowing.
I think the window was open.
I smelled acacia,
and after a little while,
I smelled something like gasoline
that is used for asphalt.
Yes.
I remember the sound of the GPS.
Do you remember any district name?
Jin...
I think it was some intersection
with a name like that.
I don't remember the middle part.
Also, I think the car that took me there
was different from the one
that brought me back.
How was it different?
When I was on the way there,
it felt spacious inside.
But on the way back, it felt cramped.
So on both occasions,
you were not in the trunk?
No.
Assuming that the corpse we found
at the construction site
didn't get that far,
the district that starts with Jin
within a two to four kilometer radius
can only be Jinsan-dong.
Also about a week ago near the entrance,
there was an asphalt road construction.
Jinsan-dong's entrance
is especially known for acacia road.
Jinsan-dong.
Asphalt.
Acacia.
All of them match.
Is Jinsan-dong a big place?
It's not that big, but there are a lot
of small hills, fields and secluded areas.
Detective Bae!
The black powder found in the art room
turned out to be rubber.
-Rubber powder?
-Yes.
It was raw rubber,
which is not usually used for art.
That means it was moved there
from another place.
Find out if there are any rubber factories
or storages in Jinsan-dong right now.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Here, have some.
Here.
Thank you.
Sure.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
Since the police are protecting me,
I feel safe.
Can I help you with something?
It's not a big deal.
You said that you heard a siren
of a police car, right?
How did you know it was the police?
Police cars, fire trucks and ambulances.
Don't they all sound similar?
I'm not sure about the siren itself,
but I heard someone talking
through a microphone as well.
I heard it a lot on the streets before.
The sound of police microphones.
That's true.
Did you hurt your ankle?
I must have sprained my ankle
without even realizing it.
Hey, Detective Bae.
Where are you?
We found the killer's hideout.
It's Do-cheol Kim.
Sir.
Take a look at this.
You killed yourself
after killing everyone?
What do you mean, Do-cheol Kim is dead?
He probably killed himself
because he felt trapped.
What a crazy fool.
How many corpses were found?
Seven.
There's seven dead bodies.
Jeez.
Detective Bae.
All the corpses are still
out there, right?
Detective Bae.
-Did you talk to the Guri office?
-Yes.
Why did they go back
if they were this close?
They said that they weren't here
for the past three days.
What are you talking about?
The victim said she heard them!
The sound of sirens
and voices from a microphone!
I said that, but they said
that they only patrol here
every two to three days.
and they didn't find anyone in here.
What does that...
Detective Bae.
We missed something.
Dr. Han.
I think we were tricked.
I think we were tricked.
Let's go back to the very beginning.
If the suspect threw out
the plaster cast on purpose.
It was meant for us
to start the investigation.
The killer already knew
that the running victim would die,
and was afraid of being revealed.
The suspect acted like a victim
and revealed everything about the hideout.
So that we would come here
and find Do-cheol Kim.
Detective Bae.
Do-cheol Kim's autopsy results came out,
and there were Taser marks
on his neck and his back.
He wouldn't do that to himself.
Do-cheol Kim was just used.
She said she heard the police sirens
even though the police didn't come here.
She made it look like
the suspect freaked out
and brought her back to the art room.
She then appeared to us as a victim.
She manipulated us.
Her heels.
Her heels?
All the corpses
had severely wounded heels.
That means,
the suspect dragged all
the victims around in barefoot
so that they can't run away.
If the suspect were a man,
he would carried them around.
But because it was a girl,
that wouldn't have been possible.
That's why everyone's heels
were all messed up.
But, Joo-hyun Na's heels were clean.
Her heels.
I must have sprained my ankle
without even realizing it.
Call the hospital and tell them
to keep her tied in there!
Yes.
What?
What are you talking about?
What happened?
I think she escaped.
What happened to the guards?
They were killed.
Damn it!
What about the security cameras?
It doesn't show her leaving the room.
This is Joo-hyun Na's cell phone.
Take a look.
What the...
It's an internet protocol camera.
The footage is transferred
to the server and through that,
she can watch us live.
This is how she knew everything. Darn it!
Hey, did you look into the phone?
Yes, it was a fake phone.
What a girl.
By the way,
where is Dr. Han?
Car number 5759, pull over to the side.
Car number 5759, pull over to the side.
So it was true that
Joo-hyun Na heard a police siren?
Yes.
There was another person.
It was someone else
who turned on the audio.
Who?
Then why did she escaped?
The real suspect might have kidnapped her.
We should have known,
when she said that there
were two different cars.
The car on the way back
was the killer's car.
Hold on.
When she was in the second car,
she said that she was
in the backseat, right?
Yes.
Do-cheol Kim's car was a minivan
so there was no trunk.
But if it was a normal car,
why not put her in the trunk?
You might get inspected for that.
What if there was a reason?
What if there were other corpses?
No.
A compact car.
A car that uses liquid petroleum gas.
A compact car has a small trunk
and if it's a liquid petroleum gas car,
you can't fit someone in there
because of the gas tank.
A CAR USED BY A HANDICAP
A car used by a handicap.
Most handicapped cars
are liquid petroleum gas cars.
A CAR USED BY A HANDICAP
No one is home.
The neighbor said she left
about two hours ago.
Check all security cameras!
It shouldn't be too hard to find her!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Why did she kidnap Joo-hyun Na again?
To make it look like she killed herself
and make her a suspect like Mr. Kim.
We have to be quick.
We don't even know where she went!
Darn it.
You're the one who is in a rush.
The suspect's car was found near
Siheung Redevelopment District.
Yoo-kyung.
Please don't kill me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong?
Do you really think so?
Did you stay up all night?
Yes.
Good job!
You tried getting his attention
with your piece of crap.
And with your cheap smile.
Your cheap actions
polluted his eyes.
His polluted eyes couldn't be cured
and he couldn't see
what a real masterpiece is.
That's not true.
I never did that.
You must have misunderstood it.
Have I?
Then do you think
I'm doing this because I'm jealous of you?
Don't fool yourself.
I'm just trying to fix what is wrong.
Search the car first.
Also the storage.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Freeze!
Let's stop this now.
You psycho!
Dr. Han.
Joo-hyun.
This is the phone you cloned
from your professor's phone.
This is a voice modulator.
Your professor posted a job opening,
but no one came,
because you intercepted everything
with your clone phone.
You even disguised your voice.
Right?
You killed your professor
and tried to kill
an innocent person for a disguise?
Regardless of what I say,
you won't understand me.
I was desperate and righteous.
Righteous?
Really?
Yes.
Isn't making the world more beautiful
the right thing to do?
Professor Kim
was my greatest mentor.
But he didn't understand my work.
That was his limit
and what I had to work on.
By chance,
I saw that person who left me in awe.
It was like when Stendhal saw Beatrice.
It was a blessing that was only
for the chosen ones.
You're right.
It's murder.
But those people left behind
something greater than
what they could ever imagine.
That something is more valuable
than their lives.
An artwork that is made
to impress the world
already means that it's not real.
Real art comes from blood and sweat.
There was enough blood and sweat in that.
But from what I see...
Do you even know how this was made?
No way.
How could you do this?
Isn't this made from
genuine blood and sweat?
This is wrong!
You're insane.
You're the one who taught me
that art was greater than human beings.
I can't let you do this.
You're awake?
What are you doing?
You're about to see something great
that you would never see in your life.
No.
Stop it, Yoo-kyung!
Just wait.
When this piece is finished,
you will be next.
No!
Get out of here. Hurry!
Run!
That man
almost ruined everything.
Until the end, he didn't realize
that what he was doing was a mistake.
Stop with your nonsense.
So are you saying
that you did nothing wrong?
I did one thing wrong.
I got caught,
and I'm not able
to leave something behind.
Whatever.
What did you just say?
Your professor almost ruined everything?
On the other hand,
did you ever think
that you ruined the world?
The world was never clean.
Cleansing is what art does.
Son of a bitch!
You are really a piece of crap.
Is that all you can say
after killing those people?
I never killed anyone without a purpose.
That was my principle in this world.
Your principle is to catch criminals.
Yours is to cure people.
It's the same for people
who are trying to earn money.
My principle is just the same.
I gave everything I had,
for what I believed in.
Thank goodness that
you only have one principle.
Otherwise, you would have killed
the entire human race.
I don't know anything
about principle or art,
but I do know one thing for sure.
Torturing people to death
is murder, not art.
It doesn't matter how you do it.
That's all there is to it.
You're saying that now,
but what people remember after some time
won't be you,
but me and my artworks.
That's the history...
and the truth.
Let me tell you something interesting.
When the investigation is over,
all of your plaster casts
will be disposed.
All of them.
I will dispose them with my own hands.
I will turn them into dust.
I will destroy them.
No.
No way!
That's the history
and the truth that I know.
Wrong principles must be corrected
and those who have done wrong
must be punished.
Now that I think about it,
it's a little confusing.
Did she go crazy because
of her extreme principles?
Or did she have those principles
because she was crazy?
There are crazy people
who pretend to be normal.
They seem normal,
but everyone who ruined the world
were people with crazy principles.
I'm guessing that is also
why Hitler killed all those Jews.
Goodness, look at you talking
about world history.
Even preschool students know that.
This world has problems
because of the rich and educated.
You're right.
Intelligent people tend to be more greedy.
Then why are you so greedy,
especially when it comes to food?
That is my principle.
"Eat when you can."
You mean your principle is "eating
without paying."
That's instinct.
How shameless.
How refreshing.
The bill is going to be big tonight.
That's my favorite.
How can he sleep so soundly
after killing his dad?
You end up sleeping for 20 hours a day.
This sleeping prince has to wake up
in order for us to continue
with the investigation.
It's 120 billion won?
It's 120 billion won?
Each one will inherit 50 percent.
It's all a lie.
Everyone related to
this family seems doubtful.
He was trying to frame him.
All I need is a billion won.
You're going to check
on the patient this late?
He felt like he was being watched.
There are six people
who have access to this house.
The suspect is...
