ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Lee Ji-uk has been yapping about
warning letters

for a serial m*rder case
that the police have not been involved in.

And now, we got a tip.

But more importantly, as we saw,
Baek Seung-jae committed su1c1de.

Not even close.

That wasn't su1c1de?

So something like this.
Our victims didn't try to save themselves.

Or should I say reflexes?

All of the deceased
had been visiting this building.

So how good is your information?

Lee Ji-uk did get the right place.

Right. He got the right place.

He was a key figure
in the White Night Village tragedy

that shocked our country years ago.

So Son Min-ho will be the next victim.

Then we should go to Son Min-ho now.

I'll head over there.

We have minutes
until the forewarned time.

It's Superintendent Do Jeong-woo.

He k*lled Kim Yeong-jun, Park Gyu-tae,
Baek Seung-jae, and Choi Yong-seok

and made Nam Woo-cheon start a fire.

Superintendent Do was behind everything.

I only judged him as the culprit
based on the circumstances.

The only person who can k*ll Son Min-ho
right now is Superintendent Do Jeong-woo.

I bet you guys are still working on it.

I did hear about a secret laboratory.

Oh Jeong-hwan,
the chief secretary at the Blue House.

He's a key member of the foundation.

Get away from him!

I was born in White Night Village.

I was one of the kids who got
experimented on at the village.

Why does that make him
more impressive than the others?

It's more than just impressive.

What we made at the lab
in White Night Village was…

I should call them something completely
different from humans.

You must get that cop no matter what.

If that cop is the same kid
from back then, he must have the answer.

I made them have dreams

without making them realize
that they were dreaming.

And when they wanted to wake up
from that dream,

they did a prearranged action.

I knew it. He used lucid dreaming.

If an order comes down, don't try to
get to the bottom of it. Just accept it.

You just heard something
you shouldn't have.

"As a cerebral artery dissection
could happen at any minute…"

He'll go to the hospital now.

Mr. Do mentioned White Night Village.

Then people from the prosecution
barged in.

There's more to this case.

YEARS AGO

I don't see anything unusual
from the scan.

Can you track down the survivors
from White Night Village?

As long as you pay me.

Okay. You'll get what you want.
Track them down.

What? People who are dying
aren't usually themselves.

-What's wrong?
-You're smart.

It's my time soon.

So can you do this fast?

VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT

Only seven survived
from the tragedy at White Night Village.

And five are dead now.

Only two of them are still alive.

Kim Seon-ok and Kim Min-jae
are likely to still be alive.

Only two of them are
still hanging in there.

Only two of them are still alive.

Kim Seon-ok, years old.

She was adopted by a family.
And they relinquished her.

She failed to adapt to society ever since.

She kept rambling about someone
following her and trying to kidnap her.

So she's in and out of
psychiatric hospitals now.

What a terrifying place.

-Where is this place?
-Does she have superpowers?

Why is the light she's holding flickering?

-It's static electricity. Where is she?
-You can do this with static electricity?

Why would she do that?

-It's the Morse code for SOS.
-SOS?

So where is she?

They are here again. Again.

They're finding me faster and faster.

Hey, check over there!

CHOROKMAEUM PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC

Hey, who are you?

Hi. I'm with the police.

All psychiatric wards
are closed at this hour.

All the elevators stop here.

You know Kim Seon-ok from Room , right?

Check the security cameras
to find out where she is.

Call me when you find her.

INSPECTOR DO JEONG-WOO

Don't just stand there. Hurry.

Okay.

-Yes?
-I think Ms. Kim is going to the rooftop.

Hey, go upstairs!

Take the stairs!

Faster!

Hey, Ms. Kim. Wake up.

You're number .

I remember you.

You stood out the most among us.

Gosh.

Hey. Stay with me.

I'd rather die
than let them take me again.

I'm free now.

No one can ever find me.

Hey.

Then there was only one alive.

That was Kim Min-jae,
the leader of the Wongwang g*ng.

-Give me a status report.
-Wongwang and Sibseong went head-to-head.

They seem determined
to put an end to this.

My gosh. Her again.

What? Why is she so violent?

She's a nut job. She's in Traffic,

but she chased the Sibseong g*ng

because they ran a red light
chasing Wongwang g*ng.

I mean, is she going
to give them tickets now?

Let's go.

Hey, where's your g*n?

You can only fire Taser g*ns once.

The first one is blank.

Hey!

Are you serious?

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

She needs to be evaluated
because her bosses say she's a nut job.

And this one…

Gosh.

Did he really graduate from the academy?

No way. It won't do even
with the commissioner's permission.

Then please pick one more person
that you deem competent.

Or you can pick someone you like.

Did you cut a deal with the commissioner?

Pardon?

How could a police officer
make deals for favors?

What is it? What do you have on him?

A district police agency commissioner
can't have any weaknesses.

Suit yourself.

I can't take responsibility for those two.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Let me off the hook today.
I forgot. Seriously.

I'll put it on now.
I can fasten the seatbelt now. Okay?

Come on, cut me some slack
this time. Gosh.

Damn it!

Hey, don't be so stubborn.

What's so wrong with not wearing
my seatbelt? It's no big deal. Gosh.

If you keep this up, you'll be
arrested for obstruction of justice.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Just let me off the hook today.
Gosh. Hey. Not my arm.

Everything was always
crystal clear for me.

It hurts. Please let go.

It was the first time I felt that
something would not be so crystal clear.

You can't stop here.

Do you want to work with me?

GONG HYE-WON

GONG IL-DO
DAUGHTER: GONG HYE-WON

Everything used to be so clear for me.

Mr. Do. You like me, right?

It was clear.

It had to stay that way.

Find someone you can rely on.

Don't like me. I'm not interested in you.

You should transfer to another team.
I'll find you another team.

But things were no longer clear.

I wasn't even sure
who I said these things for.

Where's Lieutenant Jang?

He cried so much, so I kicked him out.

It looks like you need to cry, too.

It feels like…

I'm dreaming right now.

I can't even accept that Mr. Do

was the serial k*ller
we've been looking for.

Now, they say he's terminally ill.

I know it will be hard,

but get some rest.

All units,
report to the first floor immediately.

Did the foundation send you?

Why are you so good?

So you are from…

Hold on. It hurts so much.

I said it hurts.

Gosh, that hurts.

Take the stairs.

You guys, the elevator.

What's going on?

-You can throw some punches, right?
-What?

Two's better than one, right?

Yes.

Are you okay?

What the heck is going on now?

I'm going to die pretty soon anyway,
but some people are so impatient.

Are you saying they came here to k*ll you?

Who would do that? Why?

Are you hurt?

Are you

really the culprit?

Are you really dying?

-I'm sorry.
-Did he run away alone?

Well, he was with

Lieutenant Gong Hye-won,
the daughter of Director Gong.

-So--
-I don't care.

Get more guys on this
and strengthen the inspections.

Find him no matter what.

Yes, sir.

Why? Do you feel sorry for me
because I'm dying?

Just be yourself.

We all die eventually.

Are you kidding me?

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Let's go.

Not the hospital. I almost d*ed there.

Not the hospital.

We're going to the agency.

We'll head back to the hospital
after we find out what's going on here.

I don't think these
forewarned murders are everything.

I think there's more to it.

So many things don't make sense.
Why are you ignoring them?

Some things don't make sense.

SON MIN-HO

Why did he save Son Min-ho from the fire?

If he wanted revenge,

he should have just left Son there to die.

You'll be the only cop
who can stay by Mr. Son's side.

Get away from him!

He wasn't going to k*ll Son.

He was trying to find out something.

What are you doing here?

I know, right?

I don't know what I'm doing.

I feel so bad for that punk, Jeong-woo.

He's in the hospital now.
Let's wait and see.

It's late. Let's go.

How can you be so cold?

I have two kids.

They're not even in college yet.

Yes.

Do Jeong-woo vanished?

Jeong-woo doesn't even have a card
under his name.

He withdraws his salary
on his payday, so his account is empty.

There's no record of
bank transactions, insurance policies,

investments, or real estate transactions
under his name.

I get that he doesn't own any property.

But he must have a place
where he lives right now.

Lieutenant Oh, can you blow that up?

Not even a registered address?

He registered his address
under Lieutenant Jang Ji-wan's house.

Cerebral artery…

This must be it.

Cerebromalacia.

What? Detective Jang.

Why are the soldiers here?

I guess soldiers have things to do here.

Here? Why would there be soldiers
unless some of them ran away?

Well,

I'm not sure.

That punk.

Is this why he jumped around
the holding cells and slept in there?

How many times do I have to tell you
that he's not who you think he is?

I bet the belongings
in his office are all he has.

It's dangerous going around with that
in your mouth.

Goodness. You look like a bum.

Go to the Special Investigation Team
and put all of his stuff in my office.

SERIAL FOREWARNED MURDERS
CASE FILE

I'm on my way to the agency with Mr. Do.

Damn it.

Hey, what's going on? It's a mess here.

Hey, answer that.

This is driving me crazy.

What are they doing?

This is crazy.

I found the hospital
where she had the surgery.

Why isn't she coming
to the convenience store?

I don't have her number.

And she doesn't seem to be
on social media a lot.

BAEKEUN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.DOCX

Yong-sik. I did everything you asked.

Do you mind if I go get some ramyeon?

Just go to sleep.

I'm just a little hungry.

Okay.

You know, about lucid dreaming…

-Didn't you tell me about that?
-What?

Somehow, I knew how to make people
have lucid dreams.

-Just go to your room now.
-Okay.

Dr. Leighton.

Lieutenant Jang,
why are you here at this hour?

What's wrong?

It looks like
Mr. Do escaped from the hospital.

Where's Lieutenant Gong?

She was with him at the hospital.

She said she'll come here with Mr. Do.

She's on her way here
with Superintendent Do?

So Lieutenant Gong caught
Superintendent Do when he ran away?

She hasn't texted back after that.

Did you report this to your boss?

No.

Yes, sir. I'm on my way right now.

Hurry up. Let's go!

Let's go now!

Why can't you find him? You have all
the resources and technology to do that.

Mr. Hwang. Ms. Lee.

Lieutenant Gong arrested the former
superintendent and is bringing him here.

Dr. Leighton wasn't on our team.

You're a traitor.

I said they were on their way here.
I didn't say they'd be at their office.

Besides, how will you face
the consequence for not reporting this?

Then where are we going now?

When you bring criminals here,
where do you take them?

Wait here. I'll go report this.

Gong.

Can you uncuff me?

What if someone comes to k*ll me
like at the hospital?

I'll just call them from here.

Get me out of these cuffs.
I'm not going anywhere.

What are you--

I'm sorry.

What?

Wait.

-What? Where's Superintendent Do?
-Uncuff me first.

What? What's going on?

Where's Do Jeong-woo?

I'm going to k*ll that bastard
when I get my hands on him. That jerk!

Search every nook and corner.

Mobilize everyone from the agency!

You guys, go that way.

You, that way. You guys, go left.

-We'll go down one floor.
-Yes, sir.

He wanted to use me to get back here,
so he didn't run away afterward.

So he got caught on purpose.

Any ideas as to why?

He must have left something behind here.

The laptop? It's that laptop.

From the therapist's office
in Jangyi-dong.

That's possible.

Lieutenant Yoon and I will go
to the Cyber Crimes Unit.

And the rest of his stuff should be
in Chief Lee's office.

-They took everything earlier.
-Then that's where we're going.

Mr. Do might come here
to pick up the laptop.

So you're telling me that
your team leader is the culprit.

He kept pestering me to cooperate with him

to hide that he k*lled people.

My gosh. You guys are one heck of a team.

So the culprit, Do Jeong-woo,
came back here to take something?

Let us stay here for a while.

Sure. Whatever.

Gosh, that won't work.

I have to go out
because something urgent came up.

Are you going for a smoke now?

In that case, can we keep an eye on it
for the meantime?

How can I trust you?

What if you run away with it
because you're on his side?

We're not thieves.

No way. Please leave.

-Just for a bit.
-No.

-Can't we just leave after…
-I'll get fired. Get out.

-Just for a bit.
-Get out.

-My gosh.
-Leave.

There's no way Mr. Do would do that.

Let's ask him in person.

He might have needed the laptop
even if he didn't k*ll them. Right?

She must be in the control room, right?

What now?

Should we break it?

What? I doubt
that Mr. Do has this much stuff.

It looks like they took everything
in our office.

Is this yours, Lieutenant Gong?

No, it's not.

Hey. Mr. Do's stuff is here.

We don't even know what we're looking for.

If he came back to take something,
it has to be here.

Answer this.

What's your stance on Superintendent Do?

Make up your mind.

Otherwise, you'll be the one
who will have a hard time later on.

I'm sure the forewarned murders
aren't the whole story.

I just don't know what that is yet.

What about you?

My opinion right now is that
he is the culprit.

But that's not the point.

Then what is it?

Someone's coming.

Seriously? No one knew
when he just waltzed in here like that?

Where on earth did Do Jeong-woo go?

-Don't miss anything from the footage.
-Yes, ma'am.

You figured it out quickly.

I thought it'd take a while.

What are you looking for here?

I'm not here to take anything.
This is my stuff…

Don't move. Put your hands up.

That's all? Put my hands up?

Don't move.

Put the book on the floor.

No.

I'm not like Lieutenant Gong.

We almost got caught.

Thanks, Dr. Leighton.

Quietly.

Close it quietly.

I took out some bandages.

I'm injured.

-Yes.
-Do Jeong-woo.

You still haven't found him?

We're doing our best to find him,
so please wait a little longer.

What the hell are you doing?
You couldn't even catch a cop!

Watch your tone.

I'm not someone you can yell at, Mr. Son.

And you shouldn't keep calling me
like this. I'm hanging up now.

Hey!

-Sir, calm down.
-Go away!

Calm down.

-Sir, please calm down.
-Please.

-Please calm down.
-Sir.

-Please calm down. Sir.
-Sir.

-Sir.
-Sir.

Are you okay?

Do I look okay?

The wound seems quite deep.

What? Are you worried about me
or being sarcastic?

What are you doing? Hey.

I can't let you run away again.

I have a question.

Why didn't you k*ll Son Min-ho?

What were you trying to find out?

You're smart indeed, Dr. Leighton.

You'll find out when the time comes.

-There's more to these murders, right?
-I don't get it.

You got my brain lesion removed.
But why didn't you get yourself treated?

Now you're dying.

You two are asking too many questions.

I guess I don't deserve to be alive.

Or is it

because there's something
I can't afford to lose yet?

What is your true agenda?

Dr. Leighton.

Do you really want to know
what happened in White Night Village

twenty eight years ago?

Are you sure you want to know
who you really are?

Just give me five minutes.
Then, the next time we meet,

I'll tell you the whole truth.

Just five minutes.

Why should I?

I can make you answer me now.

Five minutes.

What do you mean by five minutes?

Five minutes from now.

What are you doing?

Uncuff me right now!

Dr. Leighton, help me out here.

Uncuff me now!

What do you say?

Take these cuffs off me.
Uncuff me right now.

-Deal.
-Dr. Leighton.

Dr. Leighton, take the cuffs off me.

What the hell are you doing?

Four minutes and seconds.

I'll see you soon.

Dr. Leighton.

Uncuff me right now.

Give me three minutes and seconds.

In the meantime,
you should decide how you feel.

What about my feelings?

Once I get you out of those handcuffs,
are you going to arrest Superintendent Do?

Or are you going to treat his wound first?

What he wanted from the get-go
was probably the pair of glasses.

But since we were here,
he instantly pretended he wanted the book.

A misdirection.

And then he offered me a deal.

That might work on me, but…

Not on me.

Jeez. How many people
did the foundation plant?

We're everywhere, but we are nowhere.

Is that so?

What does he want?

-I'm going out.
-Why do you go out so late at night?

Seriously. You're just like Hye-won.

Is it so hard for the Gongs
to live normal lives?

Can't you have nine-to-five jobs?

Bye.

I hope the buses are still running.
Be careful.

LAST BUS APPROACHING SOON

What?

When did this video come in?

Why is Nam Woo-cheon…

Do you know why
he sent the warning letters?

Not just the letters.
He also sent me the footage, too.

Does this mean Nam Woo-cheon wasn't just
the arsonist, but also the fifth victim?

He used you, Mr. Lee.

He used you so he could be
in the limelight and approach Son.

But Do Jeong-woo's target was Son Min-ho.

Here's your mail.

Okay.

What is this?

Lee Byeong-seon,
the director of Seoul Hangang Hospital.

What's he doing?

What? He's another victim?

This is new footage?

It's not over yet.

What?

Who is it?

Damn it. This lunatic.

Jeong-woo.

Jeong-woo!

BAEGYA FOUNDATION

FREON
FREEZING FACILITY

If it's still not over,
what are they trying to achieve?

You still don't know where Do is, do you?

Some guys tried to k*ll Mr. Do
at the hospital.

Mr. Do is in danger. That's for sure.

Did he really k*ll them?

Is he really going to die?

Be it now or later.

Shouldn't you try to save yourself
first at this very moment?

It was very similar to this serial m*rder.

That's how I knew they were back.

You know that, right?
You're the most special one here.

We need to find the last one.

The third child is probably the culprit.
