A new artist has been
taking the country by storm.

This is "Oh My" by Jang Yoon Jeong.

Instead of wielding a weapon,

a police officer must
find another way to...

I need to see some ID.

(Baek Hee Seong)

Born in 1982?

You look young for your age.

Did you just move to this neighborhood?



How did you know?

I don't think I've seen you around.

It seems like a nice place to start over.

And it's quiet.

Now,

let's learn about the facial expression...

that shows happiness.

Never overdo it.

Do you see the distinctive marks?

A, wrinkles form around the eyes.

B, your cheeks are raised.

C, there's a certain
movement to the wrinkles...

around the eyes.

How's that? Doesn't he look happy?



(Episode 2)

My gosh.

Why are you already up?

Honey, I had a dream.

Was it a good one?

I dreamed of our first encounter.

Is this sizzling rice
soup? It looks delicious.

- Do you want to taste it? - Yes.

There.

How can it be this tasty?

The broth is cooked with dried pollack.

- All done. - Can I help you with anything?

Yes, can you bring out the
kkakdugi from the fridge?

Got it.

Is it this one?

No, it's not. Maybe it's this one.

This is young radish kimchi.

It's all right, I'll get it.

Can you wake Eun Ha and help her wash up?

Sure.

- Mom. - Yes?

Who's taller? Me or Soo Young?

Who is Soo Young again?

Why do I even bother?

Let's blow-dry your hair.

It's too hot when you do it.

I'll ask Dad.

He's better at it.

I can do a good job too.

But you're not really good at anything.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm
good at a lot of things.

- Dad, dry my hair for me.
- Where's your mom?

Mom said it was a secret.

Didn't you promise not
to keep secrets from me?

Oh, that's right.

Where did your mom go?

She went to clean up your workshop for you.

What?

Ji Won?

Did you break your teacup?

The one you cherish.

Oh, I got careless yesterday.

Let me take that. You'll cut yourself.

Anyway,
let's eat breakfast before it gets cold.

Who did you have tea with?

A customer.

Not just any customer though.

It was someone you were happy to see.

What?

That's how you are. Cool
beverages for brief meetings...

and hot beverages for long chats.

Is that how I am?

I know you better than you know yourself.

Anyway,
who did you chat for a while over tea?

You don't have many people
to share those moments with.

A friend.

What friend? Someone
who was at our wedding?

No, a friend from middle school, actually.

We ran into one another.

Really? But you said
you were a loner as a boy.

Still, it was nice to see
him after all these years.

See?

It's why I've been telling you
to go to reunions and stuff.

I came down here to
wipe your furniture clean.

But I'm hungry. Can
we enjoy breakfast first?

What's with that gaze?

I must still be the prettiest
woman on earth to you.

Don't we have fine weather today?

Look at you changing the subject.

That's a huge change...

considering that you were never
able to answer those questions.

Ma'am, it's me.

Ma'am?

Why is the door unlocked?

What on earth?

Why is her thumbnail missing?

It's awful.

The Yeonju City serial murder case.

What?

That detail.

The missing thumbnails.

They're just like the victims of
the Yeonju City serial murder case.

In total, there were seven victims.

They all had missing thumbnails.

Are you talking about the case
that Reporter Kim Moo Jin...

- mentioned last time? - Yes.

Why haven't I heard about this?

The culprit committed
suicide before he got caught,

so it became a closed case.

And people forgot about it
along with the World Cup.

You think someone imitated a case
that happened over 18 years ago?

- Why? - Well...

Mom! Where is my mom?

Mom! Mom!

Get off me, you jerks!

Who killed my mom? Let me through!

Mom! Mom, I'm here!

Mom! Why did my mom die? Mom...

Mom!

Hyun Su. Hyun Su, why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this to me?

You're committing a crime.

You know that, right?

Do you remember?

18 years ago,

I was in your shoes, and you were in mine.

Hold him!

- Let me go. - Push him back.

- Hold him tight. - I did.

- Let me go! - Stay still!

(Summer of 2002)

Hyun Su.

Did you think I'd let you get
away with doing this to me?

I should've twisted your neck.

Don't glare at me!

You'd better beat me up properly.

Or else,
I'll really break your skull next time.

I bet you witnessed it.

You saw your dad committing murder,
didn't you?

Did you really not know?

Or are you just pretending
like you don't know anything?

If that's not it, did you help him do it...

just like what the rumors say?

Hey.

You're scared of me, aren't you?

The village foreman told me...

that you're weird because
you take after your dad.

He says you'll turn out like him
if you don't learn your lesson.

What do you think?

Hyun Su.

If it hurts too much,
don't hesitate to tell me.

It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.

Kim Moo Jin. Remember this.

Next time, it'll be your turn.

Throw it at him.

After 18 years,

it's finally your turn.

Hyun Su.

If it hurts too much,

don't hesitate to tell me.

Hey... Do... Do Hyun Su.

It'll definitely be more
entertaining for me.

We were young then.

Come on.

That's how kids grow up.

It wasn't just me.

I'm just kidding.

If I was really going to kill you,

I would've covered the
floor with a plastic cover.

Hyun Su.

What do you want from me?

If it's money,
I'll give you as much as you want.

Right now,

I'm really scared and frightened.

I can't feel my arms and legs.

Moo Jin.

I'm just like my dad.

What?

You can try all you
want to make me pity you,

but I won't feel a thing.

So don't cry.

You're making me want to
cover the floor with a plastic cover.

That's my cell phone.

From now on, don't make me repeat myself.

Tell me your passcode.

The marks on her back are violet.

That means she was on
the floor for 8 to 9 hours.

I don't see any ligature marks.

The rope was just there for no reason.

She was stabbed and cut eight times.

It seems like she died
due to excessive bleeding.

But I don't see any blood here.

Her ankle broke after she died.

Does that mean the culprit
broke it after killing her?

Yes, that's right.

It looks like her thumbnail
gotten rid of after her death as well.

Why do you think the culprit...

only removed her thumbnail?

If it's to get rid of DNA or
any other kind of evidence,

the culprit should've
removed all her other nails.

This is similar to a case
that happened in the past.

What was it again?

The Yeonju City serial murder case?

Yes.

The culprit's name was...

Do Min Seok.

Do Min Seok collected
the victims' thumbnails.

They were like souvenirs to him.

What's this?

It's not blood.

Give me a cotton swab.

A serial murder copycat?

(Copycat Crime: A crime that copies
crimes from the news or movies)

That stuff doesn't exist in Korea.

But it's exactly the same as the
Yeonju City serial murder case.

The culprit's only using
that as camouflage.

She was obviously
murdered by an acquaintance.

Judging by the food we
found in the victim's stomach,

it looks like she was eating
an apple with the culprit...

right before she was murdered.

You see, we found apple peels in her room,

but there was no knife.

That means the culprit
killed her with that knife.

They were eating an apple together,
but something caused them to fight,

and the culprit got angry and stabbed her.

That's what happened.

The culprit would've brought a weapon...

if the goal was to kill her.

Exactly.

Any CCTVs?

There's one in front of her house,
but it's broken.

Did she borrow or lend any money?

We found out that she
lent about 20,000 dollars.

She lent money to the merchants
as she ran a gimbap restaurant...

and collected money every day.

She was pretty rich.

According to the social
worker who first found her body,

she even donated money
to Gangsu Welfare Center.

It was quite a large amount of money.

How much?

She donated about 370,000 dollars.

She was a major donor.

So the welfare center made
sure to take extra good care of her.

I can't believe this happened to her.

What do you mean the welfare center...

took extra good care of her?

We just literally took good care of her.

She was very old, and she lived by herself.

So we were very attentive to her.

She owned a building,

and it looks like she had at
least over a million dollars.

- What about her family? - She had one son.

Darn it.

Detective Cha, why are you so quiet?

Why Do Min Seok?

What do you mean?

He was never exposed to
the media like other murderers.

And it wasn't an unsolved case
like the murder case in Hwaseong,

so he's not very famous.

So why Do Min Seok?

How is that important right now?

Reporter Kim Moo Jin.

It's because of the article he wrote.

Ms. Kang,
I don't think I can make it to work today.

What are you talking about?

You don't come by the office daily anyway.

I will be there tomorrow though.

Are you kidding me?

You know very well how
much I loathe journalists...

who only sit at their desks.

Just remember your deadline.

- Ms. Kang, I'm tied up...
- I'm busy, so bye.

You work at a weekly magazine,
so the deadline will be Friday.

I have a whole three days until
someone reports you missing.

Hyun Su, hear me out, please.

- Go ahead. - Right.

We're in the basement of Baek
Hee Seong's workshop, right?

- Keep going. - You must be his employee.

Right.

Yesterday,

I agreed to meet Mr. Baek here.

Why? Well,
his wife introduced me to his workshop.

His wife...

is a detective...

in the Violent Crimes Unit.

Do you still not get it?

You'll be caught in no time.

Moo Jin.

Do you still not get it?

Don't you know why you're locked down here?

How do you think I got away...

with being a wanted man for 18 years?

Wait. Are you...

Baek Hee Seong?

You're Detective Cha's husband?

Why?

You said yesterday...

that you had nothing to do
with the village foreman dying.

That's what you told me yesterday!

Do you want to know the truth?

Once you know though,
you'll have to pay for it.

What?

Actually, I don't think I want to know.

Moo Jin.

I know...

who killed the village foreman.

No, I really don't want to know.

I bet you're curious.

No, Hyun Su, don't do this.

- The killer is... - No.

I won't hear this.

Don't tell me. I don't
want to hear who it is.

That's right.

It was me.

(Do Hyun Su)

Hyun Su,

this is wrong.

You can't do this.

Hand that over to me.

Hae Su.

You can't do this, Hyun Su.

I actually feel quite all right.

(Yeonju City serial murder case)

(Crime scene photos)

Found it. Ji Won, look.

It's the series Reporter Kim Moo
Jin has been publishing online.

He writes about the nation's
most heinous criminals.

His latest piece was on Do Min Seok.

So you're saying that
the culprit read this post...

and copied Do Min Seok's MO?

Listen to this.

"The following was done to
all of Do Min Seok's victims."

"A noose around the neck..."

"and a permanent injury to the ankle."

"What was most disturbing though..."

"was the fact that both
thumbnails had been removed."

What do you think?
Aren't the details similar?

The actual facts of the serial murder...

tell a completely different story though.

It wasn't a noose that was
around the victims' necks.

In fact, it was the dog leash
from the brand Hound Dog.

The killer only used
one of a certain design,

but the police never revealed
any details regarding them,

so I can understand the mix-up.

However, if the killer is a copycat,
he or she would know...

that Do Min Seok tied a dog
leash on the victims' necks.

The article described the
ankle injury as permanent,

but no bones were broken.
The Achilles tendon was ruptured.

In other words, this culprit doesn't
know about Do Min Seok at all.

What if the killer did
this to throw us off?

Then...

Detective Choi was right.

The killer definitely had a motive,

and this was to make it seem
like there isn't one. Right?

But why Do Min Seok though?

Well, it was the most
recent article in the series...

and was posted online for everyone to see.

(Kindergarten Principal)

- Yes? - Ms. Cha,

I'm afraid you're needed here right away.

(Power off)

(You have 2 missed calls.)

Hey, you!

Gosh.

Where's the ledger my mom kept?

What?

Come on. I'm in desperate
need of cash right now.

I don't know. How
should I know where it is?

Who else would know it?

My mom told you just about everything.

You need to get your life together.

Do you have any idea how
worried your mother was?

Don't get cheeky with me,
and hand over the ledger.

It's mine now anyway.

Mr. Ahn, your mother only just passed away.

Where's your common decency?

What? How dare you...

What do you think you're doing?

And in broad daylight?

Gambling?

Yes, she was deeply concerned...

of his gambling habits.

Anyway, what brings you by, Detective?

I'm investigating the people who
held a grudge against Ms. Jung.

I thought you could give me some names.

I heard this might be
part of serial murder.

- But is that not it?
- The culprit just tried...

to confuse us with the investigation.

The culprit was very clumsy.

The person stabbed the
body way too many times.

Amateurs tend to stab
people here and there...

because they don't know how
to kill someone in just one try.

- They make a huge mess of...
- Please stop.

It's really hard for me to listen to you.

I'm sorry.

Gosh.

Detective.

I don't know if this might help.

But she called me last night...

and asked me some
questions regarding her will.

"Her will"?

She wrote a will,

and she wanted to know
how to get it notarized.

I told her I'll visit her the
next day and explain it to her.

She wrote a will?

It's natural for kids to fight
and get hurt in the process.

Soo Young, you should apologize to Eun Ha.

And Eun Ha,
tell her it's okay so you guys can make up.

No, she's not going to apologize.

What?

Soo Young hit Eun Ha
and made her nose bleed.

But Eun Ha touched something
that belonged to Soo Young.

I'll pay for her hospital bill.

But she's not going to apologize.

I just wanted...

to hold your doll because
it was really pretty.

Let's not turn this into a
fight between our families.

We should focus on making
sure the kids reconcile.

Ms. Cha.

You need to teach kids not
to steal when they're young.

Ma'am, I think you're crossing the line.

You know what they say.

- "He who will steal an egg..."
- "Will steal an ox."

What did you just say?

I heard what happened.

I apologize. It's my fault.

I'll educate her properly from now on.

What? Oh, okay.

Eun Ha.

Apologize to Soo Young.

- Honey. - Eun Ha.

Go on.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'm sorry, Principal.

You just ignored Eun Ha's feelings.

Why would you apologize?

You made us seem like fools.

But it's true that Eun Ha
touched Soo Young's doll first.

Who punch their friend
for touching their doll?

Do you seriously understand that?

It's impossible to understand everyone.

I just wanted to deal with the issue first.

Deal with it? Do you really
think you dealt with this properly?

What about Eun Ha?

She's been quiet all along.

You're her favorite person.
Imagine how hurt she must be.

Ji Won.

Did I make a terrible mistake?

Don't ask. I'm upset.

I'm sorry for upsetting you.

It's my first time being a dad,
so I'm still struggling.

Okay. From now on,

I'll ask you first and do
what you tell me to do.

Sure, you will.

Just do what you can to
make Eun Ha feel better.

Don't worry about her.

Leave it to me.

Don't smile. It's annoying.

Hello, this is Cha Ji Won.

We got the test results...

regarding the stuff that was
on Jung Mun Ok's thumb.

It turns out it was lipstick.

"Lipstick"?

But the victim wasn't wearing any makeup.

Why aren't you eating?

This is egg tart, your favorite.

You're my favorite.

But...

you like Soo Young more than me.

Gosh, that's nonsense.

You took her side.

I'm on your side.

And I'm going to raise
you to become a nice kid.

You have a good reputation now.

What's that?

It means no one will doubt you
when something bad happens.

But if you have a bad reputation,
people will doubt you first.

After what happened today,

Soo Young and her mother
will have a very bad reputation.

Who cares? I was the
only one who apologized.

And I was the only one who got a nosebleed.

I feel so upset.

Don't be too upset.

I saw Soo Young earlier
crying on her way home

because she lost her doll.

Really?

It's because she didn't
take good care of her stuff.

Eun Ha, don't ever be like her, okay?

Okay.

Okay then. You should eat now.

It's delicious.

Is it delicious?

Then would you like one more today?

Yes.

Dad, you're my favorite
person in the whole wide world.

Right back at you.

(Last Will and Testament)

"In return for agreeing to hold..."

"a memorial service for me after I die,"

"I shall donate all the money I
have to Gangsu Welfare Center."

"Jung Mun Ok."

Is... Is this for real?

She kept it in a box
deep inside her closet...

along with her ledger.

Darn it! This makes no sense!

No.

I... I bet that wench made her write this.

That darn wench.

Were you at your
mother's house last night...

at around 10:30pm?

Someone testified that she heard
you guys having an argument.

Are you doubting me right now?

When your mother told you...

that she's going to donate all
her money to the welfare center,

it must've made you furious.

Do you have proof?

Do you have evidence
to prove that I killed her?

What time did you leave
her house last night?

What time did you leave?

Darn it.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Listen to me. If you want me to
come to the police station again,

bring me a warrant.

Okay?

Gosh, this is so annoying.

I never knew you were so slow
at understanding things, Ji Won.

That's what I want to say to you.

This is Jung Mun Ok's will.

A will saying she's going
to donate all her money...

to the welfare center after she dies.

Look at the date. It was written yesterday.

It was written on the day she was murdered,

but you don't think it's important?

Jae Seop, listen to me for a second.

Why Do Min Seok?

That's just a camouflage...

to hide the true motive behind the murder.

No,
the culprit had to remove her thumbnail...

because something was there.

And that was the culprit's lipstick.

It's easy to detect a
person's DNA from lipstick.

But there was lipstick
on her finger as well.

Why didn't the culprit cut off her finger?

Because the culprit didn't see it.

Her blood hadn't oxidized yet,
so it wasn't visible.

She could've gotten that
lipstick mark from anyone.

You can just ignore that.

Try to focus on this.

Who do you think would get
furious after reading this will?

Isn't it so obvious?

The culprit could've
just stolen some stuff...

and made it look like a burglary case.

But why go through all the
trouble and follow Do Min Seok?

I'm so sick of that darn Do Min Seok!

Hey, you.

Come over here. What do you think?

- Me? - Yes, you tell me.

Should we look at the lipstick or the will?

So... That is...

I need to think about it.

Why you...

Ji Won, stop being stubborn.

It was Ahn Jong Goo.

We have to catch him and
get evidence right away.

We have to investigate the
women who knew the victim...

and find out whose lipstick that was!

What's wrong with you?

This is the strongest motive for murder!

Stop it!

(Jung Mun Ok)

What is it? What?

Hey.

The fingerprint on the will.

Is this...

(Jung Mun Ok)

Jung Mun Ok probably
couldn't find a stamp pad...

and used the killer's
lipstick for her fingerprint.

She probably wiped off
the lipstick on her thumb,

but it's hard to remove
it from under the nail.

Her killer was probably
bothered about that...

and cut off her thumbnail.

And she set it up so that it
looked like Do Min Seok's MO.

With whom do you think Jung
Mun Ok wrote the will with?

Park Seo Young.

The social worker?

Since I focused on people who
knew the victim rather than the MO,

she led me to find the will.

She made me turn my attention
completely to Ahn Jong Goo.

She called me last night...

and asked me some
questions regarding her will.

Let's investigate Park Seo Young...

as soon as we get the
forensics report for the will.

But...

Why did she kill her?

What is Park Seo Young's motive for murder?

How did it go?

It was lipstick.

Yes, Mother.

I have something to finish today.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

I don't know what I
would've done without you.

You're taking care of my daughter,

so I need to take care of yours.

We're in the same situation,
so don't feel so bad.

That's right. I gave
her egg tarts just before,

so you don't have to give her
another snack. See you later.

Okay.

(Witness)

(Cheonggyecheon Stream, Nam Soon Kil, 5pm)

(Cheonggyecheon Stream, Nam Soon Kil, 5pm)

Hyun Su, give me some water.

My throat is parched.

I may really die.

Please. Water.

Explain.

Why are you meeting Nam Soon Kil?

This?

It's nothing.

I remember now.

He said he had a tip,
so I said I'd meet him.

A tip about what?

A tip about what?

Give me the water first.

I gave you one,

so you should give
me one. That's only fair.

Tell me. A tip about what?

You.

Why did he call you?

I wrote an article.

What article?

Just about your dad and you.

You know.

When are you meeting him?

Today.

Hyun Su.

Wouldn't it be bad for you...

if I don't show up to the meeting?

Park Seo Young.

I'm Detective Cha Ji Won
from Gangsu Police Station.

Do you need something more from me?

We obtained female DNA
from Jung Mun Ok's will,

which we believe belongs to the killer.

We are asking for a DNA sample...

from all the women that she knew.

The sample will be destroyed
as soon as it is examined.

Will you cooperate?

I refuse.

Refusing to cooperate...

may be held against you in a court of law.

Do you have proof that
I killed that old woman?

No, not yet.

Her clothes look funny.

Let's see the video of her leaving.

Okay.

It's different.

Not different, she flipped it inside out.

You're right.

Because she got the victim's blood on it.

That means Park Seo Young went
home immediately after killing her.

That means...

The weapon and the victim's
nail are in that envelope.

(Nam Soon Kil)

(Reporter Kim Moo Jin)

Hello, Mr. Kim. Are you here?

I'm busy on a case and
won't be able to make it.

Okay. I understand.

Can we do a brief interview over the phone?

Yes, sure. That's fine.

What tip did you want to
give regarding Do Hyun Su?

Just a minute.

(Yeonju City Serial Murder Case,
Do Min Seok and His Son)

You said Do Hyun Su disappeared
from the town in the summer of 2002.

I lived with him from the fall of 2002...

to the summer of 2005.
We were both deliverymen.

And?

I thought something must
have happened in his past...

but I never imagined he
would've murdered someone.

I would've reported him if I knew.

I had no idea that his father
was a serial killer either.

He's Do Min Seok's son...

No wonder.

"No wonder"?

He was weird. He wasn't normal.

I watched a movie with him once,

and he asked at which
scenes he should laugh...

and be sad.

You knew Do Hyun Su for three years.

Is that all?

Pardon?

Okay. Thank you for the tip.

Good day.

Wait, no. Don't hang up.

Hyun Su...

has been threatening me.

What?

It's driving me crazy. Please.

Please protect me.

Nothing?

No. There's no video of her leaving...

after she came home.

Shouldn't we search her place?

Before she gets rid of the evidence.

She must have known she
was being caught on camera.

She wouldn't have brought the
evidence home, knowing that.

I'm positive she went out.

I saw a shooting star last night.

I feel like she was saying goodbye.

Please move. You're
interfering with my work.

I'm shocked, to be honest.

You're not upset at all.

Because I did nothing wrong.

Hello?

It's me.

- I found it. - Okay.

Park Seo Young.

From this moment on,
you're a suspect of murder.

You are under arrest for
the murder of Jung Mun Ok.

May I fix my makeup first?

- What? - I don't go around like this.

I didn't wear makeup
today to pretend to be sad.

I read somewhere that your
sentence varies by your appearance.

Go ahead.

Why did you kill Jung Mun Ok?

There were too many stairs.

(Jung Mun Ok)

I hate complicated things,

so you take care of the notarization,

lawyer, all of that stuff.

Okay.

I want nothing else now.

Just come here every day,

talk to me,
and keep me company like a granddaughter.

That's all I want. I
don't need anything else.

Every day?

Gosh.

Seo Young. Scratch my back for me.

It feels the best when you scratch my back.

Major donors are like
deities to our center.

The thought of climbing those stairs...

every single day until
that old woman died...

made me livid.

I'm always thankful for you, Seo Young.

My pleasure.

This is the police.

She's dead!

Please help.

Hey.

How could you look at
me like I'm some insect?

I'm hurt.

How could you kill a person
for something like that?

They say about three percent
of the people are like me.

Who knows?

There may be one near you too.

From a month ago,

I get a call from a payphone at 4am.

Did that person say he was Do Hyun Su?

Who are you?

Tell me who you are!

Are you happy?

Hyun Su?

I've been waiting for your life
to become the happiest ever.

You...

You're Do Hyun Su, right?

I'm going to do what I can now.

He's the only person who'd do that to me.

Why is that?

I was young and blinded by greed.

So I wronged him.

Are you sure you lost it here?

Yes, I am.

I had my wallet when I went up.

It's not here. I can't find it.

I'll lend you money if you need,
so let's go down.

What are you doing?

I need your money.

I want to live well too.

Hyun Su will get revenge on me for sure.

Suspect someone else.

Do Hyun Su died.

What? Are you positive?

Yes. So you should...

forget all about him.

That's such a relief.

A relief?

He was on the run after
killing someone anyway.

He shouldn't be alive.

It's better for certain people
to die. Don't you agree?

Right.

It's better for certain people to die.

What a shame.

I really hated your eyes.

I give up.

Arrest me.

It's okay. It's fine.

The police can't do this!

Who would believe someone
like you who killed the lady...

because you didn't want to climb stairs?

So what?

A suspect could be killed...

during a physical altercation
with a police officer.

Don't you agree?

Are you insane?

Does fooling and hurting
those weaker than you...

make you feel superior?

I confessed to the crime.
I'll definitely report this!

I'll watch and remember
just how pathetic...

your last moments will be.

The carotid artery, 12 seconds.

The subclavian artery, 3.5 seconds.

I'll make sure it ends within a minute.

So take your pick. Which one will it be?

Don't.

Don't kill me.

Please, don't kill me.

I'm only joking. How can
a police officer take a life?

I notified you of the arrest earlier.

Since you're a human before the law,

you have the right to an attorney
and the right to explain yourself.

You may appeal to the terms of your arrest.

Always take them after your meal.

- Sure. Thank you. - Take care.

Goodness, it's your son.

Hee Seong, what brings you by unannounced?

No reason. I just missed you, that's all.

Goodness.

It sure is annoying not to have a son.

- Have a safe trip home. - Sure.

She may seem happy and bright,

but she takes medicine for her depression.

Isn't it unprofessional to reveal
other people's medical issues?

Their misfortune brings me joy.

If I can't be like others,

I'd rather they be like me.

So what's the occasion?

You're never one to just visit me.

I need some sleeping pills.

Honey!

What happened to your face?

I accidentally cut myself with paper.

Gosh, I love rain.

Look at you all excited.

Should a cop enjoy the rain though?

Doesn't it wash away evidence?

But it's romantic.

I want to eat something delicious.

Really? What would you like?

Savory pancakes?

Savory pancakes on a
rainy day? Sounds good.

The police arrested the killer...

responsible for the murder
of the 70-year-old lady.

She copied the MO by that of Do Min Seok,

the Yeonju City serial murderer...

to throw the police off,

but the police noticed the amateurism...

and the impulsive nature of the killing.

The investigation led to
collection of evidence...

and the apprehension of the suspect.

Meanwhile,
the killer being a social worker...

is sending ripples across the country.

You will be directed to voicemail.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Mr. Kim, this is Nam Soon Kil.

There's something I
didn't tell you earlier.

Something that'll intrigue you.

I recently heard...

that Do Hyun Su assisted his father...

in the killings.

Shocking, right?

Anyway, it's why I've been so on edge.

Call me any time if
you need to follow up...

(Soon Kil Chinese Cuisine)

Mr. Kim...

It's Do Hyun Su.

Do Hyun Su is here!

What did I tell you? I said
he'd come for revenge!

When did I fall asleep?

(Flower of Evil)

I'll forget that we ever
met. I promise you that.

What I want isn't a
promise but a guarantee.

I have confirmation of
the last person he called.

Reporter Kim Moo Jin?

So there's a video that shows assistance...

of killings.

Reporter Kim Moo Jin has been
absent from work for two days.

Why didn't you report him missing?

Could he perhaps be in confinement?

Let's break in for now.

You dare deceive me?

Someone was just here.

Or maybe he still is.
