(Episode 8)
(Kim Young Goon)
Hello, Mr. Jang.
He's at home. Should we wrap it up here?
- Keep watching. - Yes, sir.
We're short of personnel,
why are we even watching over that old man?
How should I know?
Give that to me, ma'am.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
Where should I take you, sir?
Mr. Jang. Kim Young Goon is back.
Check if Kim Jae Myung is there with him.
How should I know?
Ring the doorbell and ask him.
Kim Jae Myung!
Darn it.
That jerk...
Is Kim Jae Myung home?
He's released on parole, so we have to check his whereabouts.
He's not home.
(Lawyer Han Tae Joo)
- Hello? - Jang Hyung Koo.
He went missing...
right before Kim Jae Myung got arrested 15 years ago.
Rumor has it that it was because...
he tried to expose Kim Jae Myung's irregularity.
I know.
Where is Kim Jae Myung right now?
He's not at home.
He got changed and shaved before he left.
Jang Hyung Koo's medical record...
was provided by Mr. Do.
He confirmed that the final result came out...
and went to pick him up.
Where do you think he is?
I think...
he went to see my mom.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
You even got a suit?
It's not like I'd come here with my son.
I thought someone was tailing me. Was it you?
Since you're a ruthless man,
I thought you'd immediately get down to business.
You must be greatly disappointed.
You told Young Goon to look for others who disappeared...
like Baek Sung Cheol did, didn't you?
I thought you were talking about missing criminals, but I was wrong.
Officer Jang is there as well.
That time when you saw him for the last time,
that's when he died.
If I killed him,
who else do you think I'd kill?
If you know anything, tell me.
Do you think I have the ledger?
On the day Officer Jang went missing,
his firearm disappeared as well.
If I came out to kill someone,
who would I want to kill first?
Thanks to you, I rotted in prison for 15 years.
I was in a big dilemma.
"I think there are corrupt officers."
"Help me do what's right."
After hearing that,
am I supposed to help you out willingly?
That's your way to prove your innocence.
If you keep acting this way,
people will suspect that you brought the ledger out with you.
In any case, it has nothing to do with me.
Whether it be avenging or forgiving, that's up to the victim.
The assailant needs...
to accept the result, whatever it may be.
(Deputy Commissioner Park)
Are you with Jae Myung?
Hello?
What are you two talking about? Is there something you need to say?
No, he found me.
He said he found Hyung Koo's body.
Come here. Let's talk face to face.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
Mr. Kim, congratulations on your release.
Get in. I'll take you wherever you want.
Enclosed spaces suffocate me.
Young Goon knows as well.
About what?
Get in. Let's talk on the way.
You must've met Mr. Do after such a long time.
No, he visited me from time to time while I was locked up.
Oh, don't worry. You can trust him.
You should never trust...
those around you.
We can chat next time. Please drop me off at the station.
He used mine.
(Bogwangdang)
Hello?
It's me, Park Si Young.
I thought you were dead, but you even have a phone with you.
Where are you?
Outside.
What are you doing there?
I was going to meet your father, but I guess he's not home.
Why do you want to see him?
When Jae Myung was arrested,
you do know that he mentioned another corrupt cop, don't you?
He and I were caught in a trap.
We didn't kill...
anyone.
Do you think I'd believe that after 15 years?
He found out too late.
Hyung Koo went missing after looking for that corrupt cop.
We found Officer Jang.
He was resting in that pit you told me about.
Did you kill him?
Suspicion is...
like a snowball.
You need to stop at some point and move on.
If you want to know more,
talk with Tae Joo and get the money ready.
That woman is dying...
to catch the murderer.
I think it'd be quicker to arrest you and ask.
If I get caught, I might get killed on the spot.
If that happens,
you won't get to hear anything.
No cream and two sugars, right?
Maybe it's because I always made you coffee,
but I still remember.
You were always the star back then.
Look now. You never know what will happen in life.
The tables might get turned.
I heard that Hyung Koo's body was found.
Yes.
Only Hyung Koo...
wasn't stripped naked or had his thumbs cut off.
It's strange, right? Was it because he's a police officer too?
You were close to Park Si Young, right?
You two were on the same team.
Corruption Investigation Team...
thinks that you and Park Si Young could be accomplices.
Wasn't it you?
They say that people change.
You've changed so much after you got out of prison.
I'll give you the ledger.
I want you to do something for me.
I think I gave you everything you want. Is there still more to do?
The murderer who killed my wife.
Do you want a mirror? You did that.
This will help you too.
I'm sure...
that it has become a problem for you too by now.
I heard that there were more bodies apart from Hyung Koo's.
Don't you think the murderer has become addicted to killing people?
A murderer that cuts off criminals' fingers.
The rumors could be heard even in prison.
This will cause great trouble if it gets leaked.
You should take care of it.
As long as that murderer is out there,
arresting Park Si Young will not solve anything.
I'll take responsibility and end this.
Isn't responsibility mentioned by those who have something?
A police officer who was wrongly put in jail for 15 years...
arrests a serial killer...
right after getting released on parole.
Don't you think that looks good?
You can start anything from government groups to politics.
I'll protect your back just like old times.
You retire this year.
I have no idea what you're saying.
And...
I used to take one sugar cube.
Mr. Kim Jae Myung?
Am I right?
Yes.
Congratulations for your release. I'm Yeom Dong Sook.
I'm not sure if you remember,
but I attended the special lecture about crime scene investigation...
when I was in the police academy.
Yes, I remember you.
You used to have a loud voice and always sit at the front row.
I gave you an A, right?
No, you gave me a B... No, you gave me a C plus.
My attendance and test scores were fine.
I don't know why you did that.
There must have been other problems.
Deputy Commissioner Park.
You should've told me too...
if a senior visited.
He just stopped by on his way.
We're old friends.
Let's take a photo.
Over here would be great.
(Deputy Commissioner Park Jin Woo)
Come on.
I can pay you a better price...
than Deputy Commissioner Park.
It's nice to meet you.
Did your conversation go well?
Why did you make Young Goon become a police officer?
I'm sure that he became a police officer by taking the test.
Regardless of his test results,
It was probably impossible for him to become a police officer.
Those who want to be police officers...
unofficially get checked for family criminal records...
and they are given lower interview scores...
to make them fail if there are any bad records.
I'm sure you know that better than anyone.
I graduated the police academy.
I may have quit in the middle, but I had some friends.
I asked for some help.
Why did you do that?
It was because he wanted it.
Young Goon...
became a police officer...
because he was worried that he had seen things wrong.
It wasn't because he wanted to be different from his father...
or because he wanted to arrest corrupt police officers.
He wanted to know the truth.
But he ended up hesitating when he got his chance.
If he had seen things wrong,
he'd be a son that ruined his father too.
I hear that you've been taking mental therapy for long.
You could be a doctor yourself.
Whatever the result may be,
he must see the answer himself.
He must see what kind of man his father is...
and if he is right or wrong.
He'll need to do that to get free from his past and live his life.
I don't worry about Young Goon.
He grew up better than I thought.
Didn't you get out of prison to protect Young Goon?
I'm a selfish person.
My child has grown up,
and I've been in prison long enough.
I should get the person who made me live like this first.
Do Chi Gwang.
Have you ever considered that he might be the murderer?
We'll find out now.
Let me make a call.
Who do you want to call?
I want to apologize to Sung Cheol's sister.
I share the blame for her brother's death.
Do you want her number too?
I don't want to use your phone.
I want to use that trustworthy friend's phone.
Everyone is watching me.
We don't need to make unnecessary misunderstandings.
Fine.
Jae Sik.
My team said that he left wearing a clean suit.
Does the timeline have any holes?
He went directly to the charnel house.
He took a taxi there. The driver said...
that he just looked out the window during his entire trip there.
Where is he now?
He talked with Han Tae Joo in front of here and went back home.
He's meeting people who are related to the case 15 years ago.
Would it be okay to just let him be?
- Don't follow him anymore. - Excuse me?
Don't follow him anymore.
Weren't you looking for the ledger?
I'll take care of that.
You should investigate the murder with Commissioner Yeom.
I heard that Hyung Koo's body has been found.
May I summon and investigate the people related to that case?
No. A police officer died,
Chi Gwang should do that.
Give that role to Corruption Investigation Team.
(Deputy Commissioner Park Jin Woo)
Stop following Kim Jae Myung.
Do you remember that guy who drives Han Tae Joo's car?
That guy with the mean look?
Identify him. I'm sure that I saw him somewhere.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for always staying by my side.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
Did he really call Baek Song Yi?
Yes, he talked to her for about five minutes.
Do you think he really called her to apologize?
Maybe.
Or he could be trying to distract me.
Keep an eye on Baek Song Yi.
What? You just said it's a distraction.
We can't trust each other anyway.
Hello, Lawyer Han.
Mr. Do is inside, right?
I don't think Mr. Do feels well today.
It's fine. I don't feel quite well either.
(Corruption Investigation Team)
Gosh, she's cold.
I heard that you kept meeting Kim Jae Myung.
You asked and threatened him to get help for your investigations.
I am sure you suspect it too.
That the killer was not alone.
There is someone else behind.
A police officer is behind thugs...
and he kills anybody that defies him.
From the looks of those buried dead bodies,
I think it started 15 years ago.
Just when Kim Jae Myung was started to be investigated.
Yes, just around that time.
Hey, Young Goon!
I saw someone came by your house today.
Who is it? He cleaned floors, windows,
and even sun-dried all of your blankets.
He is someone I know.
Is he not your relative?
I thought he might be. You two look similar.
The old lady on the sixth floor...
said that there was a murder in your place.
She said the guy looked like him!
Goodness, it scares me!
What am I talking about? I'm going to lower the house price.
I am sure this is way before you started to live here.
I heard it was in the newspapers too.
I am a little sleepy today. I am going to go in.
Sorry. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
- Go ahead. - Thank you.
What are you doing?
It is a habit.
A lot of things happen when you are asleep in prison.
I admit that you are one persistent person.
You waited for 15 years.
If I sold this house, you'd be arrested for trespassing.
Where did you go today?
I got lost because the neighborhood changed a lot.
What did you hide in the vent?
A wedding anniversary gift.
It was the day after.
You hid that?
She had a good eye.
She could have found it, so I hid it there.
I checked just in case, and found it was still there.
So I put it there.
Why did you leave your phone behind?
I did not want to lie to you...
in front of her.
No one is going to harm you here. Sleep comfortably.
I wished...
that you could forget everything and live a new life.
I never thought it would hold you back.
I am going to solve this.
Is this Park Si Young?
I do not have money. Make it a little lower please.
(Seyang Transport)
Who are you?
Is this about the guy from this morning?
I said I dropped him off at the charnel house.
I checked at the Traffic Center.
You drove around that area for a while,
and started moving as soon as Kim Jae Myung appeared.
He did not even call a cab.
Were you in the same prison as Kim Jae Myung?
I was waiting for him.
He helped me a lot back there.
I just handed him an object.
If it was something bad, I would not have helped him.
Yes, it was him.
He gave me a box, so I handed it over.
What was in the box?
I really do not know. I just gave it to him.
Jae Myung is a good man.
But he is also very scary.
You know what I mean?
We will talk at the station.
I saw him opening it, though.
It was really small. Small enough to fit inside a hand.
Can you wait for me in the car?
Are you coming back after a few days again?
No.
I said I will be there after I drop her off. Can't it wait?
She does not like you.
Whenever you show up, her dad never comes home.
This is what you wanted me to look into.
(List of Wanted Fugitives By Region)
Hong Jae Sik. I think you saw him from the list.
He is a loan shark.
His nickname is an anteater because he is good at collecting.
Since he got out, he has been working for Han Tae Joo.
It will be very costly to have someone like him around.
Is he paid well?
His son is currently in a juvenile detention center.
He is in for special violence.
Han Tae Joo is helping him for his defense for free,
and also for bi-weekly visitation.
He corrected himself for his child.
Hong Jae Sik...
is preparing for law school to help his son's defense.
But the possibility of him passing is almost zero.
If it is a detention center...
I am sure there are managers.
- Of course. - Tell them to call me.
Yes, sir.
I made it because you have less food than in jail.
How can you not wash the rice cooker when its water hose is stuck?
Do you remember?
The steamed eggs.
I actually taught your mother...
Actually, the most important part is making the broth.
I'll give you some tips if you're curious.
Just give me rice.
[VIU Ver] OCN E08 'WATCHER'
"Call from Park Si Young"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Have some meat too.
I'm going to have the steamed eggs.
Hey.
How do I check the phone numbers on this?
Here.
You press the call button.
Tell me if you need to save any numbers.
No, I'll do it.
It's something I learned...
from a sailor I arrested.
It won't ever come undone once you tie it like that.
If it gets undone, then there's something wrong with the shoe,
so take a close look.
How do you tie it?
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
Go back inside. You don't have to see me off.
I'm going.
And pick up your phone.
I didn't give anyone that number,
so it's going to be me if you get any calls.
All right. I'll be sure to pick up.
(Lawyer Han Tae Joo)
Why did you ask to see me?
Ms. Han.
15 years ago, you were sure that Kim Jae Myung was the murderer.
I wanted to know why you changed your mind.
There were two pieces of key evidence in your mother's case.
My testimony and Kim Jae Myung's jacket.
That's right.
The jacket Kim Jae Myung wore to work...
was in the washing machine in the bathroom.
And it was stained with your mother's blood.
But Kim Jae Myung said he didn't know where he took it off.
There's enough opportunity for someone to fabricate the evidence.
And?
The prosecution...
was led by the current head of Seyang District Prosecutor's Office.
I had just started my career back then...
and the head led the case himself.
Deputy Commissioner Park...
was the inspection squad leader back then.
I thought those people could be all in it together.
So it's either one or the other.
Either Kim Jae Myung was falsely charged...
or he's still committing crimes with those agents.
I told you some things are better left unknown in this world.
I didn't think you'd like to know the truth.
I got a call from Park Si Young.
He won't be able to give an official testimony,
but he said he'll tell us everything he knows.
What does he want in return?
Money.
I tried to settle it on my own,
but the sum was too large.
Are you sure we don't need Mr. Do?
Mr. Do...
didn't tell me about finding Officer Jang.
He's hiding something regarding Kim Jae Myung's case.
Park Si Young...
could know what that is.
We need to be prepared before meeting with him.
Jae Sik, could you come in for a minute?
How does it feel to spend time with your son?
Have you made up your mind?
Bring that ledger to the Corruption Investigation Team.
It'll be empty since it's closed today.
And my condition?
The one you're looking for...
will come for the ledger.
(Calls, Kim Young Goon)
(Reasoning Questions)
Ms. Han?
She's out of the office.
Maybe I should have called before coming.
I think she's going to take longer. Why don't you come another time?
Your son.
I think he's being bullied in prison.
You were a troublemaker when you were young,
so you know how brutal kids can get.
You regret it when you get older...
and think that it's your fault your kid is a mess.
You're doing this...
just to protect your boy,
but don't you think it's unfair if your kid gets hurt...
because of your stubbornness?
I'm not betraying Ms. Han.
Don't worry.
I'm not stupid enough to hurt a lawyer.
Where is Han Tae Joo right now?
Hong Jae Sik recommended this place.
I know,
- but he's a cop... - I'm off duty today.
This is hard to use if you're dumb.
You're selling medicine and bags, too?
I guess you're smart.
How do you and Jae Sik know each other?
He's my employee.
Oh, you're the one paying taxes?
What do you need?
I put in some more.
You're really smart yourself.
Now, it's okay when you open it, but be careful when you close it.
30,000 volts will be released in 5 seconds.
I won't take responsibility if you get hurt.
- Was that "careful when you close"? - When you close it.
Thank you.
But what if Park Si Young dies of a heart attack...
while we question him?
He won't die.
He might have hyperlipidemia or hypertension.
He might run off with the money,
so we have to be careful.
If he closes the briefcase before the negotiation is over,
that's his fault.
(Seil Pharmacy)
(Seyang Police Station)
(Corruption Investigation Team)
(Jang Hyung Koo)
(Food Stand Broker Murder Case)
Mr. Park, we're leaving if you don't show yourself.
Mr. Park.
I can hear you clearly, so speak from there.
Did you bring the money?
Slide it this way.
I don't want to get involved like this,
but I need money to live in this country.
Tell me.
Who is the murderer?
There's one thing I know for sure.
He is a complete lunatic.
But he hides his true self perfectly.
We had a great time back then.
Did you know...
that two people...
committed suicide in here?
That's exactly why I brought the Inspection Squad here.
No one comes in here because it's too eerie.
What did Deputy Commissioner Park say to you?
Do you really not know?
To kill me and disguise it as suicide?
Since no one comes here anyway,
Young Goon might find me first...
on Monday morning.
What are you talking about?
I heard that you were going to give me the ledger.
Is that not true?
He said the man I was looking for for the past 15 years would be here.
He told me to hand the ledger over...
or to kill him.
That's exactly why...
I had no choice but to accept the offer.
Nothing good comes out of getting involved with him.
What offer?
To kill you both.
He told me to get your money if I could...
and to fly abroad or go into hiding.
Do you even have the ledger?
Are you still...
concerned about that?
After killing my wife?
You're the one who killed her!
Look at you. You're scheming with a murderer.
I'm not.
I don't even know who he is.
I don't know how he knew my number, but he texted me.
(19th locker. 1192)
Please take out your item.
If I don't do what I'm told, he'll kill me.
Isn't that Officer Jang's gun?
Did you kill him?
Hyung Koo was...
suspecting me.
I went to the rendezvous place, but the car was empty.
His gun was in the glove compartment.
The killer wanted to frame me for the murder.
That's why I took his gun.
I was already caught in the trap,
so it was better to be armed.
I thought...
I'd be using the gun soon.
But it took 15 years.
For the past 15 years, I've been wondering who did it.
In prison, you have all the time you need to think.
That day,
the only person who knew that I'd be meeting Hyung Koo...
was you.
You're right.
But you see, you never trusted me until the end.
But I trusted you.
I didn't even tell the Inspection Squad...
and volunteered to go.
What will you do about Young Goon?
Are you going to kill me, go to prison,
and say that you're sorry?
Then why did you drag him into this?
Jang Hae Ryong was plotting something against him.
If I had let him be, he'd have died...
or would've been framed and gone to prison.
Do you remember...
me telling you that people got hurt because I trusted you?
- When? - That night.
When I called your house.
I never got your call.
Do you think you'll get out of this alive after killing us?
The police are claiming that I killed six people already.
Adding two more to it won't make a big difference.
It'll just motivate them even more to catch you...
since you killed innocent civilians, not thugs.
I was worried about that too,
but he said that won't happen.
He will...
take care of all the headaches and plan something new.
Who are you talking about?
Your father.
I called you from the phone booth in front of your house.
People got hurt...
because I trusted you.
I'm going to make sure...
you pay for your crimes.
Are you sure you didn't pick up my call?
No one called the house.
And when I left the house,
my wife was still alive.
After I hung up and went to your place, she was already dead.
And Young Goon was hiding in the tub.
He was asleep.
We woke up because of you.
But I...
Deputy Commissioner Park said he'll only send photos.
That's when you came.
He told me...
to go get the ledger from you.
He told me to do that when he clearly knew how you felt.
No.
I'm not sure anymore.
Honestly tell me, Jae Myung.
Don't hide anything, and tell me everything from back then and now.
I'll do the same.
It may be too late for us,
but we can prevent other police officers...
from getting disrupted.
Don't forget this. I saved your life twice.
Hey! What was that you mentioned earlier?
Park Si Young!
Don't worry. I'll make him say everything at the station.
6 murders and 2 murder attempts.
How much is in there?
Don't think about taking that money.
I warned you.
I don't care what you say.
Soo Yeon, please send a patrol to my house.
Something might have happened.
- Okay, I'll be there too. - Okay.
Yes, Jae Sik. This place is...
Come to the police station.
1, 2, 3.
- Mr. Jang. - My gosh.
It's great that you came, detectives.
Mr. Jang collapsed while trying to save me.
The murderer is over there. It's Park Si Young.
This is Special Crime Squad. We need backup.
Darn.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- Hey, Young Goon. - Did you meet him?
Chi Gwang said that it wasn't him.
You're overly obsessed with what happened in the past.
I sent him to resolve the misunderstandings.
Did you give him the ledger?
Or do you still have it?
(Kim Jae Myung)
(My Son)
My goodness.
Someone got hurt in your house.
You can't come in here.
I live here.
What happened?
Young Goon. Calm down, and wait outside.
It's not good timing.
Is Kim Jae Myung inside?
Let's go outside first. I'll tell you outside.
This is terrible.
- Excuse me. - Move aside.
Tell Mr. Jang my thanks when he wakes up.
Thanks to his heroic act,
I was able to survive.
I'll be with Corruption Investigation Team.
You go to the building I told you and retrieve the money case.
- Yes, ma'am. - Right. Jae Sik.
Never open the case.
Yes, ma'am.
Did I fracture my bone? It hurts every time I breathe.
Gosh, Mr. Jang. Did you get out already?
You should've gotten a checkup since you went there.
I tried to do that.
Didn't you hear anything?
(Seyang Police Station)
Today at dawn, the Special Investigation Team...
arrested Park Si Young, a wanted suspect...
for the burial of dead bodies at Sungil Eco Park.
We will do our best to charge him as the murderer,
and uncover the motive and the method...
of the murders. Thank you very much.
Why did you go to see Kim Jae Myung?
He came to my office.
He said he wanted to see how Young Goon worked.
He said he had more things to talk about.
So I went to his house.
What did you guys talk about?
About what happened when Officer Jang disappeared.
I wanted to hear more about it.
The door was open, so I went in.
And?
I do not remember the rest.
What about Young Goon?
He is at the hospital.
He is in shock. He won't say a word.
Chi Gwang.
Did Kim Jae Myung...
talk about the ledger?
He told me to hand it over to me in exchange for his release on parole.
Since he died like that, I am in a tight position.
Why did you send me?
Jae Myung misunderstood a lot of things.
I thought you could clear of his misunderstandings.
You just needed to find the ledger...
even if one of the two died in the battle.
Isn't this why you send me?
I did not think anyone would die.
What about the ledger?
He did not talk about it.
You can continue talking.
I think you are very involved in this case.
Everyone from the commissioner and Special Investigation Team...
is investigating Park Si Young.
But you are here,
and Mr. Jang who is supposed to be on leave is here too.
Chi Gwang cannot be the murderer.
If another police officer turns out to be the murderer...
after solving a serial murder case,
things will get serious.
Young Goon.
I know this may be difficult for you.
I was not sure if I should come or not.
I thought I should let you know.
It is about our team.
I think you should know.
Young Goon, are you listening?
Young Goon, are you okay?
Is your acquaintance okay?
I have heard some bad rumors.
- He is my father. - What?
I said he is my father.
Put leftovers in the refrigerator.
(Do Not Enter)
Young Goon.
(WATCHER)
There was something at the ceiling of the bathroom.
Is that why you came?
Who has it?
How can we find it? What is in it?
Tell me everything.
This might be useful.
Han Tae Joo has it.
I will take care of it.
I want to know what Baek Song Yi and my father talked about.
Once you start believing that someone is the culprit,
that is when you start to make mistakes.
I am going to catch the culprit myself.

(Episode 8)
(Kim Young Goon)
Hello, Mr. Jang.
He's at home. Should we wrap it up here?
- Keep watching. - Yes, sir.
We're short of personnel,
why are we even watching over that old man?
How should I know?
Give that to me, ma'am.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
Where should I take you, sir?
Mr. Jang. Kim Young Goon is back.
Check if Kim Jae Myung is there with him.
How should I know?
Ring the doorbell and ask him.
Kim Jae Myung!
Darn it.
That jerk...
Is Kim Jae Myung home?
He's released on parole, so we have to check his whereabouts.
He's not home.
(Lawyer Han Tae Joo)
- Hello? - Jang Hyung Koo.
He went missing...
right before Kim Jae Myung got arrested 15 years ago.
Rumor has it that it was because...
he tried to expose Kim Jae Myung's irregularity.
I know.
Where is Kim Jae Myung right now?
He's not at home.
He got changed and shaved before he left.
Jang Hyung Koo's medical record...
was provided by Mr. Do.
He confirmed that the final result came out...
and went to pick him up.
Where do you think he is?
I think...
he went to see my mom.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
You even got a suit?
It's not like I'd come here with my son.
I thought someone was tailing me. Was it you?
Since you're a ruthless man,
I thought you'd immediately get down to business.
You must be greatly disappointed.
You told Young Goon to look for others who disappeared...
like Baek Sung Cheol did, didn't you?
I thought you were talking about missing criminals, but I was wrong.
Officer Jang is there as well.
That time when you saw him for the last time,
that's when he died.
If I killed him,
who else do you think I'd kill?
If you know anything, tell me.
Do you think I have the ledger?
On the day Officer Jang went missing,
his firearm disappeared as well.
If I came out to kill someone,
who would I want to kill first?
Thanks to you, I rotted in prison for 15 years.
I was in a big dilemma.
"I think there are corrupt officers."
"Help me do what's right."
After hearing that,
am I supposed to help you out willingly?
That's your way to prove your innocence.
If you keep acting this way,
people will suspect that you brought the ledger out with you.
In any case, it has nothing to do with me.
Whether it be avenging or forgiving, that's up to the victim.
The assailant needs...
to accept the result, whatever it may be.
(Deputy Commissioner Park)
Are you with Jae Myung?
Hello?
What are you two talking about? Is there something you need to say?
No, he found me.
He said he found Hyung Koo's body.
Come here. Let's talk face to face.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
Mr. Kim, congratulations on your release.
Get in. I'll take you wherever you want.
Enclosed spaces suffocate me.
Young Goon knows as well.
About what?
Get in. Let's talk on the way.
You must've met Mr. Do after such a long time.
No, he visited me from time to time while I was locked up.
Oh, don't worry. You can trust him.
You should never trust...
those around you.
We can chat next time. Please drop me off at the station.
He used mine.
(Bogwangdang)
Hello?
It's me, Park Si Young.
I thought you were dead, but you even have a phone with you.
Where are you?
Outside.
What are you doing there?
I was going to meet your father, but I guess he's not home.
Why do you want to see him?
When Jae Myung was arrested,
you do know that he mentioned another corrupt cop, don't you?
He and I were caught in a trap.
We didn't kill...
anyone.
Do you think I'd believe that after 15 years?
He found out too late.
Hyung Koo went missing after looking for that corrupt cop.
We found Officer Jang.
He was resting in that pit you told me about.
Did you kill him?
Suspicion is...
like a snowball.
You need to stop at some point and move on.
If you want to know more,
talk with Tae Joo and get the money ready.
That woman is dying...
to catch the murderer.
I think it'd be quicker to arrest you and ask.
If I get caught, I might get killed on the spot.
If that happens,
you won't get to hear anything.
No cream and two sugars, right?
Maybe it's because I always made you coffee,
but I still remember.
You were always the star back then.
Look now. You never know what will happen in life.
The tables might get turned.
I heard that Hyung Koo's body was found.
Yes.
Only Hyung Koo...
wasn't stripped naked or had his thumbs cut off.
It's strange, right? Was it because he's a police officer too?
You were close to Park Si Young, right?
You two were on the same team.
Corruption Investigation Team...
thinks that you and Park Si Young could be accomplices.
Wasn't it you?
They say that people change.
You've changed so much after you got out of prison.
I'll give you the ledger.
I want you to do something for me.
I think I gave you everything you want. Is there still more to do?
The murderer who killed my wife.
Do you want a mirror? You did that.
This will help you too.
I'm sure...
that it has become a problem for you too by now.
I heard that there were more bodies apart from Hyung Koo's.
Don't you think the murderer has become addicted to killing people?
A murderer that cuts off criminals' fingers.
The rumors could be heard even in prison.
This will cause great trouble if it gets leaked.
You should take care of it.
As long as that murderer is out there,
arresting Park Si Young will not solve anything.
I'll take responsibility and end this.
Isn't responsibility mentioned by those who have something?
A police officer who was wrongly put in jail for 15 years...
arrests a serial killer...
right after getting released on parole.
Don't you think that looks good?
You can start anything from government groups to politics.
I'll protect your back just like old times.
You retire this year.
I have no idea what you're saying.
And...
I used to take one sugar cube.
Mr. Kim Jae Myung?
Am I right?
Yes.
Congratulations for your release. I'm Yeom Dong Sook.
I'm not sure if you remember,
but I attended the special lecture about crime scene investigation...
when I was in the police academy.
Yes, I remember you.
You used to have a loud voice and always sit at the front row.
I gave you an A, right?
No, you gave me a B... No, you gave me a C plus.
My attendance and test scores were fine.
I don't know why you did that.
There must have been other problems.
Deputy Commissioner Park.
You should've told me too...
if a senior visited.
He just stopped by on his way.
We're old friends.
Let's take a photo.
Over here would be great.
(Deputy Commissioner Park Jin Woo)
Come on.
I can pay you a better price...
than Deputy Commissioner Park.
It's nice to meet you.
Did your conversation go well?
Why did you make Young Goon become a police officer?
I'm sure that he became a police officer by taking the test.
Regardless of his test results,
It was probably impossible for him to become a police officer.
Those who want to be police officers...
unofficially get checked for family criminal records...
and they are given lower interview scores...
to make them fail if there are any bad records.
I'm sure you know that better than anyone.
I graduated the police academy.
I may have quit in the middle, but I had some friends.
I asked for some help.
Why did you do that?
It was because he wanted it.
Young Goon...
became a police officer...
because he was worried that he had seen things wrong.
It wasn't because he wanted to be different from his father...
or because he wanted to arrest corrupt police officers.
He wanted to know the truth.
But he ended up hesitating when he got his chance.
If he had seen things wrong,
he'd be a son that ruined his father too.
I hear that you've been taking mental therapy for long.
You could be a doctor yourself.
Whatever the result may be,
he must see the answer himself.
He must see what kind of man his father is...
and if he is right or wrong.
He'll need to do that to get free from his past and live his life.
I don't worry about Young Goon.
He grew up better than I thought.
Didn't you get out of prison to protect Young Goon?
I'm a selfish person.
My child has grown up,
and I've been in prison long enough.
I should get the person who made me live like this first.
Do Chi Gwang.
Have you ever considered that he might be the murderer?
We'll find out now.
Let me make a call.
Who do you want to call?
I want to apologize to Sung Cheol's sister.
I share the blame for her brother's death.
Do you want her number too?
I don't want to use your phone.
I want to use that trustworthy friend's phone.
Everyone is watching me.
We don't need to make unnecessary misunderstandings.
Fine.
Jae Sik.
My team said that he left wearing a clean suit.
Does the timeline have any holes?
He went directly to the charnel house.
He took a taxi there. The driver said...
that he just looked out the window during his entire trip there.
Where is he now?
He talked with Han Tae Joo in front of here and went back home.
He's meeting people who are related to the case 15 years ago.
Would it be okay to just let him be?
- Don't follow him anymore. - Excuse me?
Don't follow him anymore.
Weren't you looking for the ledger?
I'll take care of that.
You should investigate the murder with Commissioner Yeom.
I heard that Hyung Koo's body has been found.
May I summon and investigate the people related to that case?
No. A police officer died,
Chi Gwang should do that.
Give that role to Corruption Investigation Team.
(Deputy Commissioner Park Jin Woo)
Stop following Kim Jae Myung.
Do you remember that guy who drives Han Tae Joo's car?
That guy with the mean look?
Identify him. I'm sure that I saw him somewhere.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for always staying by my side.
(Jo Hyun Kyung)
Did he really call Baek Song Yi?
Yes, he talked to her for about five minutes.
Do you think he really called her to apologize?
Maybe.
Or he could be trying to distract me.
Keep an eye on Baek Song Yi.
What? You just said it's a distraction.
We can't trust each other anyway.
Hello, Lawyer Han.
Mr. Do is inside, right?
I don't think Mr. Do feels well today.
It's fine. I don't feel quite well either.
(Corruption Investigation Team)
Gosh, she's cold.
I heard that you kept meeting Kim Jae Myung.
You asked and threatened him to get help for your investigations.
I am sure you suspect it too.
That the killer was not alone.
There is someone else behind.
A police officer is behind thugs...
and he kills anybody that defies him.
From the looks of those buried dead bodies,
I think it started 15 years ago.
Just when Kim Jae Myung was started to be investigated.
Yes, just around that time.
Hey, Young Goon!
I saw someone came by your house today.
Who is it? He cleaned floors, windows,
and even sun-dried all of your blankets.
He is someone I know.
Is he not your relative?
I thought he might be. You two look similar.
The old lady on the sixth floor...
said that there was a murder in your place.
She said the guy looked like him!
Goodness, it scares me!
What am I talking about? I'm going to lower the house price.
I am sure this is way before you started to live here.
I heard it was in the newspapers too.
I am a little sleepy today. I am going to go in.
Sorry. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
- Go ahead. - Thank you.
What are you doing?
It is a habit.
A lot of things happen when you are asleep in prison.
I admit that you are one persistent person.
You waited for 15 years.
If I sold this house, you'd be arrested for trespassing.
Where did you go today?
I got lost because the neighborhood changed a lot.
What did you hide in the vent?
A wedding anniversary gift.
It was the day after.
You hid that?
She had a good eye.
She could have found it, so I hid it there.
I checked just in case, and found it was still there.
So I put it there.
Why did you leave your phone behind?
I did not want to lie to you...
in front of her.
No one is going to harm you here. Sleep comfortably.
I wished...
that you could forget everything and live a new life.
I never thought it would hold you back.
I am going to solve this.
Is this Park Si Young?
I do not have money. Make it a little lower please.
(Seyang Transport)
Who are you?
Is this about the guy from this morning?
I said I dropped him off at the charnel house.
I checked at the Traffic Center.
You drove around that area for a while,
and started moving as soon as Kim Jae Myung appeared.
He did not even call a cab.
Were you in the same prison as Kim Jae Myung?
I was waiting for him.
He helped me a lot back there.
I just handed him an object.
If it was something bad, I would not have helped him.
Yes, it was him.
He gave me a box, so I handed it over.
What was in the box?
I really do not know. I just gave it to him.
Jae Myung is a good man.
But he is also very scary.
You know what I mean?
We will talk at the station.
I saw him opening it, though.
It was really small. Small enough to fit inside a hand.
Can you wait for me in the car?
Are you coming back after a few days again?
No.
I said I will be there after I drop her off. Can't it wait?
She does not like you.
Whenever you show up, her dad never comes home.
This is what you wanted me to look into.
(List of Wanted Fugitives By Region)
Hong Jae Sik. I think you saw him from the list.
He is a loan shark.
His nickname is an anteater because he is good at collecting.
Since he got out, he has been working for Han Tae Joo.
It will be very costly to have someone like him around.
Is he paid well?
His son is currently in a juvenile detention center.
He is in for special violence.
Han Tae Joo is helping him for his defense for free,
and also for bi-weekly visitation.
He corrected himself for his child.
Hong Jae Sik...
is preparing for law school to help his son's defense.
But the possibility of him passing is almost zero.
If it is a detention center...
I am sure there are managers.
- Of course. - Tell them to call me.
Yes, sir.
I made it because you have less food than in jail.
How can you not wash the rice cooker when its water hose is stuck?
Do you remember?
The steamed eggs.
I actually taught your mother...
Actually, the most important part is making the broth.
I'll give you some tips if you're curious.
Just give me rice.
[VIU Ver] OCN E08 'WATCHER'
"Call from Park Si Young"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Have some meat too.
I'm going to have the steamed eggs.
Hey.
How do I check the phone numbers on this?
Here.
You press the call button.
Tell me if you need to save any numbers.
No, I'll do it.
It's something I learned...
from a sailor I arrested.
It won't ever come undone once you tie it like that.
If it gets undone, then there's something wrong with the shoe,
so take a close look.
How do you tie it?
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
Go back inside. You don't have to see me off.
I'm going.
And pick up your phone.
I didn't give anyone that number,
so it's going to be me if you get any calls.
All right. I'll be sure to pick up.
(Lawyer Han Tae Joo)
Why did you ask to see me?
Ms. Han.
15 years ago, you were sure that Kim Jae Myung was the murderer.
I wanted to know why you changed your mind.
There were two pieces of key evidence in your mother's case.
My testimony and Kim Jae Myung's jacket.
That's right.
The jacket Kim Jae Myung wore to work...
was in the washing machine in the bathroom.
And it was stained with your mother's blood.
But Kim Jae Myung said he didn't know where he took it off.
There's enough opportunity for someone to fabricate the evidence.
And?
The prosecution...
was led by the current head of Seyang District Prosecutor's Office.
I had just started my career back then...
and the head led the case himself.
Deputy Commissioner Park...
was the inspection squad leader back then.
I thought those people could be all in it together.
So it's either one or the other.
Either Kim Jae Myung was falsely charged...
or he's still committing crimes with those agents.
I told you some things are better left unknown in this world.
I didn't think you'd like to know the truth.
I got a call from Park Si Young.
He won't be able to give an official testimony,
but he said he'll tell us everything he knows.
What does he want in return?
Money.
I tried to settle it on my own,
but the sum was too large.
Are you sure we don't need Mr. Do?
Mr. Do...
didn't tell me about finding Officer Jang.
He's hiding something regarding Kim Jae Myung's case.
Park Si Young...
could know what that is.
We need to be prepared before meeting with him.
Jae Sik, could you come in for a minute?
How does it feel to spend time with your son?
Have you made up your mind?
Bring that ledger to the Corruption Investigation Team.
It'll be empty since it's closed today.
And my condition?
The one you're looking for...
will come for the ledger.
(Calls, Kim Young Goon)
(Reasoning Questions)
Ms. Han?
She's out of the office.
Maybe I should have called before coming.
I think she's going to take longer. Why don't you come another time?
Your son.
I think he's being bullied in prison.
You were a troublemaker when you were young,
so you know how brutal kids can get.
You regret it when you get older...
and think that it's your fault your kid is a mess.
You're doing this...
just to protect your boy,
but don't you think it's unfair if your kid gets hurt...
because of your stubbornness?
I'm not betraying Ms. Han.
Don't worry.
I'm not stupid enough to hurt a lawyer.
Where is Han Tae Joo right now?
Hong Jae Sik recommended this place.
I know,
- but he's a cop... - I'm off duty today.
This is hard to use if you're dumb.
You're selling medicine and bags, too?
I guess you're smart.
How do you and Jae Sik know each other?
He's my employee.
Oh, you're the one paying taxes?
What do you need?
I put in some more.
You're really smart yourself.
Now, it's okay when you open it, but be careful when you close it.
30,000 volts will be released in 5 seconds.
I won't take responsibility if you get hurt.
- Was that "careful when you close"? - When you close it.
Thank you.
But what if Park Si Young dies of a heart attack...
while we question him?
He won't die.
He might have hyperlipidemia or hypertension.
He might run off with the money,
so we have to be careful.
If he closes the briefcase before the negotiation is over,
that's his fault.
(Seil Pharmacy)
(Seyang Police Station)
(Corruption Investigation Team)
(Jang Hyung Koo)
(Food Stand Broker Murder Case)
Mr. Park, we're leaving if you don't show yourself.
Mr. Park.
I can hear you clearly, so speak from there.
Did you bring the money?
Slide it this way.
I don't want to get involved like this,
but I need money to live in this country.
Tell me.
Who is the murderer?
There's one thing I know for sure.
He is a complete lunatic.
But he hides his true self perfectly.
We had a great time back then.
Did you know...
that two people...
committed suicide in here?
That's exactly why I brought the Inspection Squad here.
No one comes in here because it's too eerie.
What did Deputy Commissioner Park say to you?
Do you really not know?
To kill me and disguise it as suicide?
Since no one comes here anyway,
Young Goon might find me first...
on Monday morning.
What are you talking about?
I heard that you were going to give me the ledger.
Is that not true?
He said the man I was looking for for the past 15 years would be here.
He told me to hand the ledger over...
or to kill him.
That's exactly why...
I had no choice but to accept the offer.
Nothing good comes out of getting involved with him.
What offer?
To kill you both.
He told me to get your money if I could...
and to fly abroad or go into hiding.
Do you even have the ledger?
Are you still...
concerned about that?
After killing my wife?
You're the one who killed her!
Look at you. You're scheming with a murderer.
I'm not.
I don't even know who he is.
I don't know how he knew my number, but he texted me.
(19th locker. 1192)
Please take out your item.
If I don't do what I'm told, he'll kill me.
Isn't that Officer Jang's gun?
Did you kill him?
Hyung Koo was...
suspecting me.
I went to the rendezvous place, but the car was empty.
His gun was in the glove compartment.
The killer wanted to frame me for the murder.
That's why I took his gun.
I was already caught in the trap,
so it was better to be armed.
I thought...
I'd be using the gun soon.
But it took 15 years.
For the past 15 years, I've been wondering who did it.
In prison, you have all the time you need to think.
That day,
the only person who knew that I'd be meeting Hyung Koo...
was you.
You're right.
But you see, you never trusted me until the end.
But I trusted you.
I didn't even tell the Inspection Squad...
and volunteered to go.
What will you do about Young Goon?
Are you going to kill me, go to prison,
and say that you're sorry?
Then why did you drag him into this?
Jang Hae Ryong was plotting something against him.
If I had let him be, he'd have died...
or would've been framed and gone to prison.
Do you remember...
me telling you that people got hurt because I trusted you?
- When? - That night.
When I called your house.
I never got your call.
Do you think you'll get out of this alive after killing us?
The police are claiming that I killed six people already.
Adding two more to it won't make a big difference.
It'll just motivate them even more to catch you...
since you killed innocent civilians, not thugs.
I was worried about that too,
but he said that won't happen.
He will...
take care of all the headaches and plan something new.
Who are you talking about?
Your father.
I called you from the phone booth in front of your house.
People got hurt...
because I trusted you.
I'm going to make sure...
you pay for your crimes.
Are you sure you didn't pick up my call?
No one called the house.
And when I left the house,
my wife was still alive.
After I hung up and went to your place, she was already dead.
And Young Goon was hiding in the tub.
He was asleep.
We woke up because of you.
But I...
Deputy Commissioner Park said he'll only send photos.
That's when you came.
He told me...
to go get the ledger from you.
He told me to do that when he clearly knew how you felt.
No.
I'm not sure anymore.
Honestly tell me, Jae Myung.
Don't hide anything, and tell me everything from back then and now.
I'll do the same.
It may be too late for us,
but we can prevent other police officers...
from getting disrupted.
Don't forget this. I saved your life twice.
Hey! What was that you mentioned earlier?
Park Si Young!
Don't worry. I'll make him say everything at the station.
6 murders and 2 murder attempts.
How much is in there?
Don't think about taking that money.
I warned you.
I don't care what you say.
Soo Yeon, please send a patrol to my house.
Something might have happened.
- Okay, I'll be there too. - Okay.
Yes, Jae Sik. This place is...
Come to the police station.
1, 2, 3.
- Mr. Jang. - My gosh.
It's great that you came, detectives.
Mr. Jang collapsed while trying to save me.
The murderer is over there. It's Park Si Young.
This is Special Crime Squad. We need backup.
Darn.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- Hey, Young Goon. - Did you meet him?
Chi Gwang said that it wasn't him.
You're overly obsessed with what happened in the past.
I sent him to resolve the misunderstandings.
Did you give him the ledger?
Or do you still have it?
(Kim Jae Myung)
(My Son)
My goodness.
Someone got hurt in your house.
You can't come in here.
I live here.
What happened?
Young Goon. Calm down, and wait outside.
It's not good timing.
Is Kim Jae Myung inside?
Let's go outside first. I'll tell you outside.
This is terrible.
- Excuse me. - Move aside.
Tell Mr. Jang my thanks when he wakes up.
Thanks to his heroic act,
I was able to survive.
I'll be with Corruption Investigation Team.
You go to the building I told you and retrieve the money case.
- Yes, ma'am. - Right. Jae Sik.
Never open the case.
Yes, ma'am.
Did I fracture my bone? It hurts every time I breathe.
Gosh, Mr. Jang. Did you get out already?
You should've gotten a checkup since you went there.
I tried to do that.
Didn't you hear anything?
(Seyang Police Station)
Today at dawn, the Special Investigation Team...
arrested Park Si Young, a wanted suspect...
for the burial of dead bodies at Sungil Eco Park.
We will do our best to charge him as the murderer,
and uncover the motive and the method...
of the murders. Thank you very much.
Why did you go to see Kim Jae Myung?
He came to my office.
He said he wanted to see how Young Goon worked.
He said he had more things to talk about.
So I went to his house.
What did you guys talk about?
About what happened when Officer Jang disappeared.
I wanted to hear more about it.
The door was open, so I went in.
And?
I do not remember the rest.
What about Young Goon?
He is at the hospital.
He is in shock. He won't say a word.
Chi Gwang.
Did Kim Jae Myung...
talk about the ledger?
He told me to hand it over to me in exchange for his release on parole.
Since he died like that, I am in a tight position.
Why did you send me?
Jae Myung misunderstood a lot of things.
I thought you could clear of his misunderstandings.
You just needed to find the ledger...
even if one of the two died in the battle.
Isn't this why you send me?
I did not think anyone would die.
What about the ledger?
He did not talk about it.
You can continue talking.
I think you are very involved in this case.
Everyone from the commissioner and Special Investigation Team...
is investigating Park Si Young.
But you are here,
and Mr. Jang who is supposed to be on leave is here too.
Chi Gwang cannot be the murderer.
If another police officer turns out to be the murderer...
after solving a serial murder case,
things will get serious.
Young Goon.
I know this may be difficult for you.
I was not sure if I should come or not.
I thought I should let you know.
It is about our team.
I think you should know.
Young Goon, are you listening?
Young Goon, are you okay?
Is your acquaintance okay?
I have heard some bad rumors.
- He is my father. - What?
I said he is my father.
Put leftovers in the refrigerator.
(Do Not Enter)
Young Goon.
(WATCHER)
There was something at the ceiling of the bathroom.
Is that why you came?
Who has it?
How can we find it? What is in it?
Tell me everything.
This might be useful.
Han Tae Joo has it.
I will take care of it.
I want to know what Baek Song Yi and my father talked about.
Once you start believing that someone is the culprit,
that is when you start to make mistakes.
I am going to catch the culprit myself.
