EPISODE 6. THE DECOYS

You know the singer, Bang Hyun-min?

You know, the guy that used to be huge.
He was in a group called X-tasy.

He founded an entertainment company.

Apparently, he got a lot
of investment funds from various people.

A celebrity founding
an entertainment company?

That's hardly news.

But entertainment stocks are doing
really well in the market these days.

You know that, don't you?

You don't?

Ms. Jung, you know, right?

It doesn't matter
what crappy business you have.

If you can make a backdoor listing happen,

the shares just skyrocket.
It's incredible.

But there's a problem.

Sales aren't so good.

Are you saying Bang Hyun-min
is looking to boost his sales numbers?

-In order to go public?
-Exactly.

If our company becomes a subsidiary
of Bang Hyun-min's company,

we can boost their sales numbers.

In return,

we can use their celebrities
as ambassadors.

We can get investment funds
and use celebrities as ambassadors.

Two birds with one stone.

That would make Bang Hyun-min

our angel...

We shouldn't get too close
to Bang Hyun-min.

Read the room, Ms. Jung.

Don't you remember?

He came to see Mr. Kim
to donate campaign funds.

So you know Bang Hyun-min well?

I do.

He was shady through and through,
so we passed on him.

And you think we aren't shady?

No, we aren't, as*h*le.

You're still acting like
you're scamming people on the street.

Get into the business mindset, moron!

So when can he get here?

I've arranged a meeting with him
at a hotel.

You saw what I did there?

How's your diet going?

-Are you on a diet?
-Yes, I am.

What's with you then?

I'm still working on it.

Your cheeks are chubby.

-Keep at it.
-Okay.

So that's him.

Hello. I'm No Sang-cheon.

I'm Bang Hyun-min,
the CEO of BHM Entertainment.

-Yes.
-My face is my business card.

Of course, we're well aware.

These girls are two of the best girls
at our company.

Say hello, girls.

Hi, I'm Cho-mi.

I'm Seo-ju.

-Pleased to meet you.
-Pleased to meet you.

Well done, girls.

Go over there and have something to eat.

We're going to talk business now.
Get something expensive.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Get going. And Seo-ju.
-Yes?

-Watch what you eat.
-I will.

-They're chubby. Okay.
-Okay.

Now, tell me about your business.

The business we run is expecting
a huge number of sales.

If you promise us basic funding
and promotion...

Sure, whatever.
What's your estimated figure per year?

A conservative annual
sales target put together

by our Strategic Planning Team
is about ten billion.

Ten billion?

That's not too shabby.

Not at all. And the profit should be

about 45 to 50 percent of annual sales...

Profit? That's not important.

Assemblyman Kim Seong-dae introduced
you to me, so I'm definitely doing it.

Just jot down your business model
on a piece of paper.

-Paper?
-Yes.

What kind of person
makes an investment decision like that?

Is he rolling in money?

Bingo. That's it.

It means it's not his money.

He gets funds from various people
but doesn't have anything to invest in.

He wants his company to go public soon.

He doesn't care what it is
as long as it boosts sales.

On top of that,
we have a decent business model

and we have great support.

All that Assemblyman Kim did
was introduce you guys.

Yes, that's right.

Mr. Kim just introduced us,
and I'm the one conducting business.

Even if things go south,

Mr. Kim's reputation will be intact.

Don't worry about that.

Now that we have our funds

let's get this thing started for real!

USE IT NOW FOR FREE

SPEED LEADS TO HAPPINESS, FASTEST TELECOM

Hello, everyone.

Now Free has hit 100,000 members.

We're here today for the big celebration.

Now Free is having
a huge celebration event today.

Come inside to get lots of prizes.

-You're so pretty.
-We love you.

See you again!

-What's your name?
-Da-in.

For Da-in.

This is really something, Mr. No.

Your investment made this possible.

All of this was done with your money.

Just be sure to hit those sales targets.

Of course, we will.

We're a subsidiary of BHM Entertainment.

What? What do you mean, subsidiary?

We're a family now. One big family.

Nice tie.

Things on this end
will soon be wrapping up.

When can I reach Assemblyman Kim?

Whatever.

Send me his schedule.
I'll check it and make a call.

Just send it over! Don't you question me!

Who was it that got you so worked up?

It's not like you.

It's none of your business.

It's time you made a decision.

About your future.

ASSEMBLYMAN KIM SEONG-DAE

No Sang-cheon's business
seems to be taking off.

When's the VIP dinner?

Two months from now,
when you come back from your visit abroad.

I guess I can contact
Jung So-ram around that time.

Actually, Jung So-ram
has been calling me recently.

-Why?
-She wants to talk to you.

Nothing good can come from us talking.

I told her time and again
to stay right next to No Sang-cheon.

Okay. You're dismissed.

No Sang-cheon's better at
laying the groundwork than I expected.

A FEW MONTHS LATER

Look at this.

Hey, gosh.

Dumbass.

My god. How much is all this, Mr. No?

I'll be able to pay off all my debts.

I told you guys to follow my lead.

This is the last box for the month.

We need to talk.

-Get it in order.
-Okay.

Hello?

Who is this?

A news station?

Now Free, a free phone call service
that has been the recent craze,

finds itself in a crisis

-due to connection problems.
-Mr. No.

Some users are saying
that it is not a cell phone

but a device no more than a walkie-talkie.

Our news reporter has more details
on Now Free's fake phone scam allegations.

This is a bit earlier than expected.

Mr. No, what are we going to do now?

Should we just run with the money we have?

We'll be able to live
quite well for a few years.

Quiet. I can't hear myself think.

Shut the hell up for a minute!

How can we stay quiet
when things are falling apart?

Get it together, you idiots!

It's at times like these
that we have to act proud and confident!

We're going to power through this.

So we just have to trust you, Mr. No?

Get it together, Sang-cheon!

YEAR 2023

Please don't use it
unless it's absolutely necessary.

He really lived here?

We're done with the crime scene,
and we'll move the body for autopsy.

You should see this.

I don't know why this dashcam
was in his pocket.

Have you calmed down a bit?

Is that Jae-hwang's?

Let's hope that it's useful.

It can't be suicide.

I never said it was.

I was thinking the results might say so.

It looks like a suicide,

but we can't be sure
until the autopsy is done.

-Yes?
-Captain.

We found Deputy Head's car.

It was near Yangjecheon Stream.

Detective Park is checking for any CCTVs.

-How's the car?
-The windshield is smashed

and the dashcam has been ripped out.

The dashcam...

Based on the state of the car,
it's likely he's been abducted.

Start investigating internal personnel
before word gets out.

Request any local stations
to cooperate about a missing man.

-Let's find him as quickly as possible.
-Copy that.

Did you find anything?

-No, nothing yet.
-No, sir.

Deputy Head g*ng's been abducted? By whom?

It can't be...

But...

he's dead.

5% CHARGED

I AM SORRY...

I am sorry.

I did something
that no person should ever have done.

I committed crimes that cannot be undone

due to a split second of rage.

I give my sincere apology

to the bereaved whom I made suffer.

I will pay for my deeds with my death.

I am sorry, Mother.

What's with that guy?

Shouldn't we give him a ride?

Are you out of your mind?
We don't know who he is.

Let's just call the police.

He must be nuts.

Can I see some ID, please?

Sure.

He says he's the Deputy Head
of the Magang Agency. Is that right?

He doesn't have his wallet or anything
we can use to check his ID.

Yes, he is.

Are you sure?

He wouldn't answer my questions.

Why was he walking along a highway?

Regardless of it being a misdemeanor,
he put himself in danger.

Let's go, sir.

I barely escaped from Jung Jae-hwang.

Let's talk about that later.

Is that the truth?

Did Jung Jae-hwang really abduct you?

What are you doing here?

She came along to find Jung Jae-hwang.

So? Did you find him?

We found him dead on arrival.

I asked you if it was really
Jung Jae-hwang who abducted you.

I'll get another ride.

Please, wait.

What? Where did they find my car?

Were you looking for me?

Not as a formal case.

Wait.

You're thinking what I'm thinking,
aren't you?

What do you mean?

We told him that Jung Jae-hwang
was found dead on arrival,

but he didn't ask once how he died.

No. It didn't cross my mind.

MAGANG NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

I barely escaped from Jung Jae-hwang.

So what has Jung Jae-hwang
gained from all this?

Personal revenge?

Retribution?

But why did he let Deputy Head live?

I'm back, sir.

How is Deputy Head doing?

He's a lot better now.

The doctor said
there isn't anything wrong with him.

He'll be coming to work tomorrow.

He also wants
the investigation report in two days.

That soon?

He probably wants to wrap this case up.
I know I would.

He was abducted
and almost k*lled by the culprit.

I'll have to write that report.
That's stressful.

I seriously don't get why that guy
abducted the Deputy Head.

Deputy Head was the lead detective.

It's not that rare
for victims to resent us.

No, this one's a little different.

It doesn't feel right.
Like not getting to wipe after a dump.

God, you're disgusting.

Should I write up the three murders with
Jung Jae-hwang as the sole perpetrator?

Let's wait until the autopsy results.

Did you call Jung Jae-hwang's mother?

Yes. She just got here.

Jae-hwang!

Mom's here. Get up!

Jae-hwang! I'm here!

Mom's here...

When will this nightmare end?

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault

that your father died

and you had to

step into this nightmare.

I'm so sorry.

Don't say that anymore, Mom.

A 30-year-old man was found dead in an
abandoned house in Yangje-g*n, Gangwon-do.

While the police
believe it to be a suicide,

this man was being tracked as a suspect

in the recent m*rder
of Councilman Park Gwang-sin.

Meanwhile,
the police are also investigating

the man's connections
with other recent m*rder cases...

So...

What about Jae-hwang's funeral?

We don't even have his body yet.

The police are saying

we can get his body
once the autopsy is done.

Stupid kid.

He shouldn't have died.

He never did anything wrong!

Did you really

do the things you did
because you thought it was Jae-hwang?

Why didn't you tell us?

What difference would that have made?

It wouldn't have been so hard on you
if we had all acted together...

Stop that talk.

That moron deserved to die.

So stop talking about him.

The cause of death is asphyxiation
due to compression of the neck.

And the indentation due to the rope
ends right beneath the ears.

The hanging is what k*lled him.

Was it suicide?

Didn't you say
he left a will on his phone?

I'd like some forensic evidence.

You like to be certain,
don't you, Lawyer Gu?

I've been a cop for years.

I know that, Captain Gu.

Look at this indentation.

Looks clean, doesn't it?

This is proof that he hung calmly,
waiting for his last breath.

In the case of a homicide,
the indentation is messy.

Since they struggle to stay alive.

Also, fingerprints on the rope
and footprints on the chair

all belong to the suspect.

It all adds up to suicide.

But there's one thing.

There are contusions. It looks like
it happened right before he died.

It doesn't look like a beating.
A light scuffle, maybe.

The scuffle could have happened
when he abducted the Deputy...

What, an abduction?

It's nothing.

Anyway, I have to make conclusions
solely based on the body.

As a forensics expert...

Asphyxiation? Positive. Suicide? Positive.

Judging from the contusions,
there may have been a light scuffle.

That's it for me.
Now you get to do your job.

BYSTANDERS
DETECTIVE g*ng JONG-HUN

If I let you go, Mr. g*ng,

do you promise to live in remorse?

The autopsy results are in.

Okay. Anything peculiar?

Did you get into a scuffle
with Jung Jae-hwang during the abduction?

Yes, I did.

Along with the asphyxiation marks,
there were also contusions.

Would that be because of the scuffle?

Don't fixate too much on Jung Jae-hwang.

These murders may not have been committed
by Jung Jae-hwang.

What's going on?

I don't know. I have no idea.

Are you still not going to tell me
the location you were abducted?

Shouldn't we have a look
through any CCTV footage?

I went there
to take care of a private matter.

Also, if it gets out

that a deputy head was abducted,
I would become a laughingstock.

Understood, sir.

The three m*rder cases will be closed

due to the suspect's death.

Good job. You're dismissed.

What? Is there anything else?

Now that the official statement
is out of the way,

I also have a personal opinion.

I think you have a right to know.

As a detective,
I feel I should dig deeper.

But as a lawyer, I feel this is enough.

I don't feel guilty wrapping up.

That's why I'm closing the case.

What the hell do you mean?

The reason you put me on this case

was because you wanted
ex-lawyer Gu Do-han to investigate,

wasn't it?

He's persistent when he needs to be

and glosses over certain things
when necessary. He's smart.

You know how it is...

that lawyers are such peculiar people.

I don't think there's
any need for concern.

Are you satisfied?

Will wrapping it up like this
leave everyone happy?

MAGANG NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

So we're finally closing this case.

It was a tough one.

If the victims' group
hadn't appeared at every crime scene,

it would have been a lot easier.

They confused the hell out of us.

Lee Byeong-jun should have been arrested
for obstruction of justice.

It's a relief there weren't
any more victims.

Just imagine if Deputy Head
had become one.

That would have brought chaos
to the police force.

Now we just have
the investigation reports to write up.

-Put some work into it.
-Sure.

Do you really think this is all over?

What?

Don't slack off on the report.

You should help too.

Remember, you guys are different from me.
You were detectives from the start.

You have to dig until the end
and look for all possible proof.

-I understand.
-Yes, sir.

REPORTER CHEON NA-YEON

Hello?

You're not closing the case, are you?

What else is there left to do?

You have to track down the suspect.

He's dead.

The suspect has died,
so the case has come to a close.

There's no further reason to continue.

We have the Deputy Head's statement
about when he was abducted too.

What about evidence?

Do you have enough evidence
that Jung Jae-hwang did all of this?

I looked into it and found that
even if the suspect dies,

it's your job to find concrete evidence
that he was the culprit.

So you're a cop now?

You were assigned to this case
so you could help cover it up, right?

That was your job from the start.

Stop your presumptions.

It doesn't matter anymore.

If the cops won't do it, I will.

Not like it's my first time.

I'm going to go after Jae-hwang's tracks.

What do you mean by that?
What are you doing now?

The victim turned scammer,

the person that Jae-hwang
went to see after his release.

I'm going to start from there.

We were going to go together, remember?

But seeing as you've changed your mind,

I'm going by myself.

Where are you now?

How can I help you?

I'm here to see the CEO.

Do you have an appointment?

Just tell her Cheon Na-yeon is here.

Sure. I'll relay the message
as soon as she finishes her meeting.

JINS COIN DIGITAL ASSETS EXCHANGE

JINS COIN IS THE SAFEST
JINS COIN WILL BRING THE FUTURE OF FINANCE

Don't take my being here the wrong way.

I'm not here to gather evidence.

I'm here to stop you
from unnecessarily stirring things up.

So you're here to keep an eye on me?

Well, it's not too late to go back.

My goodness!

Look who's here!

-It's been a while.
-It has, Na-yeon.

You used to be a little girl.

Now you're old enough to get married.

Who is he? Is he your boyfriend?

I'm Captain Gu Do-han,
Violent Crimes Investigation Unit.

What is this?
Why did you bring a cop with you?

Jae-hwang came to see you, didn't he?

Jae-hwang? Jung Jae-hwang?

-Why?
-I'll ask the questions.

You met Mr. Jung Jae-hwang, didn't you?

I'm having trouble recalling.

You know, with this job

I meet so many people every day.

I checked prison visitation records
before coming here.

Ms. Han Da-jeong,
you paid a visit to Mr. Jung Jae-hwang

a month before his release.

His mother said he was going to
meet you after being released.

I do remember now.

That Jung Jae-hwang!

I wanted Jae-hwang to work with me
once he got out.

As you know,

this job really requires
a lot of people you can trust.

You wanted him to help you
in a pyramid scheme?

Oh, silly you. Not a pyramid scheme.

This is a legal cryptocurrency business.

Don't you know cryptocurrency?

You should. It's all the hype these days.

That's just a facade
for your pyramid scheme.

Last time,
it was something about solar panels.

You must really be in the know.

The key is speed.

You never know
what's around the corner these days.

Oh right, I'm having an investment
briefing session in a few days.

You should come.

Do you know how much that is?

Cryptocurrency, solar panels...

You're making money
from all the latest trends.

As if this would put a dent
in your savings.

I bet you dabbled in nutrition products
during the health craze.

How did you know that?

Captain.

What the hell are you doing?
Being a cop doesn't give you the right.

Why are you harassing
a law-abiding citizen?

-Law-abiding?
-Yes.

Those eyes of yours.

What? What about my eyes?

They're this close to crossing the line.

What are you on about?
My eyes are crossing what now?

The line between a scammer's eyes
and a k*ller's.

What the hell are you talking about?

If you keep on, they'll soon cross it.

Hey, I've scammed people
but I've never committed m*rder.

Get the hell out of here!

I'll talk to you later.

Wait.

So what did Jae-hwang say to you?

He said no, and blocked my calls.
Are you happy?

Get out!

Scumbags.

What do I do about these?

What was that for?

I've never seen you so riled up.

We got nothing from her.

I'm sorry I asked us to come here.
It was a waste of time.

Do you believe what that fraud says?
After all you've been through?

Are you stupid?

She's obviously lying.
Everything about Jung Jae-hwang was a lie.

I know that woman as well.

Though, she probably doesn't remember me.

How do you know her?

Before that, explain to me what you mean

when you called her
a victim turned scammer.

Not all victims are good people.

b*tch! Why I ought to...

Stop it, please.

At this rate,
we're never going to catch No Sang-cheon.

We can't trust the police.
We can't trust anyone.

It's going to be every man for himself
to recoup the money we've lost.

-She was scammed, so she is a victim.
-Gather around.

-But that doesn't make her a good person.
-I have an idea.

-And Han Da-Jeong...
-How much did you lose?

-is her new name.
-Three hundred million...

-Her original name was Han Chun-ja.
-We can make that back.

Did you know that
there is a large number of people

who go back to the pyramid scheme
after being scammed?

-After eating some at the age of eighty...
-After being scammed, they become aware

that they can earn money
if they get a head start.

I am a victim

of the famous No Sang-cheon Ponzi scam.

But this business is different.

-Our network business...
-That's what Ponzi schemes are like.

They take the money from latecomers

and give it back to those
who invested earlier on.

BALANCE OF WORK AND LIFE
IS NECESSARY IN MODERN SOCIETY

She made her own, new pyramid scheme

and became one of the fastest
to start scamming others.

She justified her doings
by telling herself

this was how she would recoup her losses.

She slowly sank

into the quagmire

and soon had a new label for herself.

A fraud.

It's me.

A crazy cop was just here.

He said his name was Gu Do-han.

No.

He didn't seem to be
investigating anything in particular.

I'll be kept out of all this, right?

I only did what you asked.

But...

why did Jae-hwang k*ll himself?

Are you still doing this?

Did you ask me to come to see you

after being released
to help you with this?

No, that's not it.

You said you wanted to start farming
when you got out.

My friend with an empty house
in the countryside wants to help you.

At least go take a look.

Listen to me.

You shouldn't be doing this.
Think about what we went through.

How is this any different
from No Sang-cheon's scam?

What's it got to do with you?

And I heard I'm on that thing
called a list or whatever.

You shouldn't be making lists like that.

You have to forget your dark past.

Live towards a bright future.

You've forgotten

why I had to go to prison,

haven't you?

We have to let it all go now...

How can I forget it?

Now it's your turn to talk.

Han Da-jeong, CEO of the pyramid scheme.

How do you know her?

Did you investigate her
for ill*gal schemes?

I used to have a younger sister.

She was the only family I had left.

Used to?

She died.

She was k*lled seven years ago.

Did they catch the k*ller?

The k*ller was connected to Han Da-jeong

-or Han Chun-ja.
-How is she connected?

I think I've answered your question
about knowing Han Da-jeong.

Anything else is unrelated,
so I don't have to answer.

More importantly,
do you remember Song Young-jin's case?

The k*ller called a Chinese restaurant
and made an employee find the body.

Yes.

Isn't that a bit similar?

To sending a package
and making us find Jung Jae-hwang?

That was...

probably Jae-hwang himself who sent it,

so that we could find his dead body.

He wouldn't have been discovered
in that place.

He wanted his mother to find his dead body
after hanging himself?

He's not that sick, as far as I know.

He had a soft spot for his mother.

He's not someone

who would leave his mother all alone.

That woman, Han Da-jeong...

definitely played a role in this.

But she's hiding it. What could it be?

Sounds like this case
isn't closed just yet.

A NEW WAVE OF CHANGE, JANG KWON-h*
YEAR 2011

Please, tell me.

Unfortunately, I have a meeting soon

so we'll have to keep it short.

Sure. It won't take long.

Do you know Jung So-ram?

Jung So-ram?

She used to work here.

That was a few years ago.

And you haven't talked to her recently?

Not that I can recall.
What is this regarding?

You know No Sang-cheon, right?

No Sang-cheon...
I think I've heard the name.

It hasn't been much of a controversy yet,

but he's wanted for fraud.

Jung So-ram was working as an executive
employee at No Sang-cheon's company.

So Jung So-ram quit this place

only to help out a conman, I see.

I think you should give this a read.

CALL RECORDS

-What is this?
-All of Jung So-ram's recent calls.

There's a record of you two
calling each other.

No, it can't be.

It's right here and on this page.
You talked a few days ago...

Hey. What are you implying?

-I'm sorry?
-This is very disrespectful.

Are you saying that she and I
are having an affair or something?

No, of course not.

You coming here with this list.
It's obvious.

I feel rather violated.

You can go now.

I just wanted to see if you knew

Jung So-ram's whereabouts...

I do not!

Don't you bring her name up with mine.

I will make you pay if you come here
again with this matter.

So you talk often with Jung So-ram.

Keep talking about the gold bars.

Jung So-ram and No Sang-cheon

are lovers.

Get out, if you're going to talk nonsense.

He used them to launder money.

The gold was brought in without tariffs
for the semiconductor industry.

He stole those gold bars
and used them to launder money.

No Sang-cheon did that.

How do you know that?

I followed him to the scene once.

He gave me a ride when he took me there

but went back by himself. f*cking b*stard.

So?

You think we should take the gold?

Jeez.

We can't if he gets out of the country.

We have to move quickly.

But you know...

Why are you

telling me all of this?

You can use it for campaign funds.

Playing kingmaker takes a lot of money.

Shut the f*ck up!

I know it was you
who sold out No Sang-cheon to the cops!

What's your reason for coming to see me,
you scamming prick?

What the f*ck are you trying to pull?

Go on, beat me up, you b*stard!

f*ck!

Let's just k*ll each other
and get it over with, you f*ck.

-Put that down.
-If we let No Sang-cheon get caught,

we can take all the gold bars.

And you can use it
for your campaign funds!

It's dirty money to begin with,
you as*h*le!

f*ck.

What a waste of time.

Pay me for beating me up.

What a cheap f*ck.

f*cking scumbag.

I need the money for my family

to come together again.

What could you do?

That was the fate given to you.

Are you staying with No Sang-cheon?

Didn't you hear?

I'm at the victims' group office.

What are you doing there?

He wanted me to buy him some time.

But you know, now that I think about it...

I think No Sang-cheon
is trying to cut me off.

Song Young-jin's dead
and I can't think of a reason.

It's as if I've become...

meat for the tigers.

You've still got it.

Just like when you betrayed me.

That's all in the past.
And I already apologized for it.

Anyhow, No Sang-cheon
is currently cutting off loose ends.

People who know his secret.

How do you know that?

Song Young-jin
is well and alive, that jerk.

He is? He's alive?

Yes, he was here. As a cr*pple.

I'll make a call to No Sang-cheon.

Stay right next to him.
No matter what happens.

I might not be able to come back
if I go to China this time.

Do you think...

I'd be able to come back
to my former life?

That's not important.

Bigger things are coming up.

Ms. Jung,

you'll be thanking me one day.

Just do your best.

Look at these pricks fooling around.

The chairman wanted me to pick you up.

Pack your belongings.

I don't have much.

Where are you going?
I got something to eat.

Who is he? He looks familiar.

He's an acquaintance.

Please excuse me.

Wait a second.

Something's fishy.

I remember this guy.

He was next to No Sang-cheon.
He was like his bodyguard.

What?

You b*tch! Are you still speaking
to No Sang-cheon?

Why the hell did you come here?
Did you want to get something out of us?

Wait outside.

Stop right there, you b*tch!

You're not going anywhere.

What the hell...

You b*stard.

You b*stard!

Where the hell are you going?

as*h*le!

You prick.

Are you going somewhere?

I heard Mr. Byeong-jun
got something to eat.

What's that noise?

It sounds like Mr. Byeong-jun.

25-HOUR KARAOKE

Stop.

No!

What are you doing?

That's enough, as*h*le!

You b*stard.

f*cking b*stard. Why are you hitting me?

YEAR 2023

You wanted me, sir?

You wanted an extension

on the investigation report?

Yes.

There were some contradictions
and unsatisfactory parts.

I wanted them checked.

I thought the case was closed
with the death of the suspect.

Do you know the basic rules
for writing up an investigation report?

You don't think I know that?

"Are there any contradictions?" There are.

"Are there any unsatisfactory
or substandard parts?" There are.

"Has the report been written

with all the necessary details
with its purpose in mind?"

Yes, it was about to be written
in such a way.

Provided the purpose was to determine

Jung Jae-hwang as the culprit
and close the case quickly.

Please tell me, sir.

Where were you abducted by Jung Jae-hwang?

I will check the CCTV footage,
and then write up the report.

Are you talking to me as a detective now?

What made you change in just a few days?

People change
according to the circumstances.

Can you say that you have
always been the same person?

Sincerity can be tarnished
as circumstances change.

I found that out as I grew up.

That's why I don't resent you even now.

Circumstances changed you.

I made a mistake.

I never should have
assigned this case to you.

POLICE FOR THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE

So you want us to check
if there's enough evidence

that Jung Jae-hwang did it?

Can you track the Deputy Head's movement
using his phone records?

I have the places where he made the calls.

Get all the tapes from the nearby CCTVs.

It's a little late,
but we should be thorough.

Try and track Jung Jae-hwang
at the time of the three murders.

Understood.

Now that weird feeling of not wiping
is going away.

We're eating, you disgusting jerk.

It seems like
we're interrupting lunchtime.

How have you been, Captain Gu?

-What's going on?
-Nothing major.

It's about your disciplinary leave.

Someone lifted it without permission.

It's against the law
to disregard procedure.

I would love to just let you off

but there's an inspection coming up.

And?

So what?

You should head home. Right now.

What's this?

-What's going on?
-Why is this...

What exactly is this?

Why are we getting this again?

Jae-hwang?

But Jae-hwang is dead.

21-5, HYEONMI-RO,
HYEONMI FITNESS CENTER, 1 P.M.

-Hello?
-We got the texts again.

I got it too.

Could Jae-hwang be alive?

Na-yeon, didn't you see that he was dead?

Did you see it for sure?

-I did.
-Then who is this?

I'll know when I get there.

What did she say?

Excuse me.

Are you okay? Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, are you okay?

I was waiting for you, as*h*le.

Take off your mask.

Take it off
or I'll skin your face off along with it!

DECOY
