THIS DRAMA IS FICTION

THE CHARACTERS, BUSINESSES, LOCATIONS,

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS AREN'T REAL

COVID-19 MEASURES WERE FOLLOWED,

AND CHILD ACTORS WERE COUNSELED

COMPUTER GRAPHICS WERE USED

IN MOST SCENES WITH ANIMALS

-That's amazing.

-How cool.

Black snakes are

the largest snakes in Korea.

YEAR 2000, GURYEONG ANIMAL THEME PARK

-What do black snakes eat?

-What do black snakes eat?

Black snakes eat frogs,

sparrows, rodents

Oh, I mean mice.

-They eat mice.

-They eat mice?

Black snakes are the ones

that appear in folk tales.

-It's huge, right?

-Yes.

It's bigger than I thought.

-Right?

-It's especially big.

Oh, it's a mouse.

You're right. It's a mouse.

-You're right.

-It's a mouse.

-Oh, no.

-Oh, no.

Won't it get eaten by the snake?

MOUSE

5 YEARS LATER

It was the first time

that I came here on my own.

I wanted to ask him.

Do I look different to you, too?

They say I was different from the start.

They say I was born different.

10 YEARS AGO

EPISODE 1

Thank you.

Hey, Su-h*.

What about Mom? Is she asleep?

It's snowing so much,

so the taxi driver

couldn't drive me all the way home.

I didn't have a choice.

I couldn't leave

in the middle of the welcoming party.

That's okay. Don't come out.

You have an exam tomorrow,

so you need your sleep.

Okay. I'll be home soon.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, little girl.

What are you doing here at this hour?

The car

The car slipped

It ran into a tree and

My dad

Where is he?

Over there.

He'll be fine.

Hold onto this, okay?

Excuse me, sir.

Sir?

Please don't hurt me.

Please don't k*ll me.

Please don't let her die.

Please

I'll explain one last time.

Check your equipment again

once you get in the water.

Then deflate your BCD

and descend very slowly.

Due to the low water temperature,

you can easily get into an accident.

Do not wander off on your own, okay?

Another headless body was found.

This time, it was found in the ocean.

Su-jeong!

-Su-jeong!

-According to the DNA test,

the victim is Ms. Song in her 20s.

She went missing a week ago

on her way home after work.

Based on the degree

of the mutilation of the body

and the markings on the body,

the police concluded

it was done by the same culprit

and is investigating the case.

This now brings the count

to a total of 18 victims

whose heads were cut off

by the Headhunter.

Since there has been no progress

with the investigation over the past year,

the public's fear is turning into anger.

Meanwhile, the President

has canceled all his plans

to visit the National Police Agency.

Here is Reporter Kang Mun-jin

with the news.

It looks like his visit

to the National Police Agency

is to win back the public's support

in the midst of public criticism.

The President severely rebuked the police,

blaming their lax investigation system

for not making any headway

on finding the m*rder*r

and declared to come up

with measures for the investigation.

He also made a nation-wide statement,

promising to bring forward a plan

to prevent violent crimes

in hopes of stabilizing public security

and creating a crimeless society.

Okay.

Has he landed?

Delayed?

Bring him straight here when he lands.

This is like a sci-fi movie.

This will definitely turn

the public opinion around.

We must get this bill passed

no matter what.

The problem is the opposition party.

I doubt they'll make it easy.

The ruling party is taking a big chance.

They're desperate.

Ratings have hit bottom,

and the President is a lame duck.

This is our golden opportunity.

-We must stop them.

-How?

They'll say it's a violation

of human rights.

Human rights?

A similar bill was proposed in the UK.

It stated that the government

would keep track of every citizen's DNA

and identify criminals' genes in advance

to prevent violent crimes.

-Did it pass?

-No.

Ladies and gentlemen.

We will arrive

in Gimpo International Airport shortly.

It was opposed

because of human rights violations.

Human rights are more important

than the lives of our citizens?

What human rights do fetuses have?

Hey, Seo-jun. I just landed.

Okay, I'll be there as soon as I'm done.

Bye.

Thank you.

WHO IS THE HEADHUNTER?

The criminal is clever and meticulous,

so they say it'll be a long investigation.

He might get caught pretty fast.

Psychopaths like him can get c*ck

and could end up making dumb mistakes.

Psychopaths are a result of mutated genes

that occurred as society evolved.

They are born with very few MAOA genes,

which control human emotions.

In particular, the top one percent

of psychopaths, such as serial K*llers,

do not possess any MAOA genes.

This study shows that we are able

to distinguish the psychopath gene

by conducting a genetic test on a fetus.

This means we can identify psychopaths,

warmongers, and serial K*llers

before they are even born.

CHAIRPERSON SHIN SEONG-MIN

This is the summary

of the New Genetic Project.

Please refer to the papers

I gave you for details.

Thus for the safety of our citizens,

the government wishes to propose a bill

that mandates all fetuses

to undergo a genetic test

and have them aborted

without the parents' consent

should the psychopathic gene

be discovered.

Please give us your opinion on the bill.

I am for it.

If the Headhunter had never been born,

we wouldn't have lost 18 innocent lives,

and who knows how many more?

It means if Hitler hadn't been born,

there never would've been a world w*r.

This kind of bill

is the perfect crime-preventing bill

that our society needs

at this current time.

Dr. Daniel Lee.

Is the psychopath gene test accurate?

It is 99 percent accurate.

Ninety-nine percent?

What about the remaining one percent?

The genius gene.

When we compare the genes

of psychopaths and geniuses,

the compositions are so similar

that even I can't tell them apart.

Then isn't there a risk of k*lling

a potential Mozart instead of Hitler

and Einstein instead of the Headhunter?

Whatever the case,

this is a human rights violation.

Human rights? What human rights?

What human rights do fetuses have?

ab*rtion is ill*gal in Korea.

ab*rtion is considered an act of m*rder

because we see fetuses as human beings,

which is why it's been prohibited by law.

So you want to let

future murderers be born

and let them k*ll innocent people?

If you care so much about fetal rights,

why do you disregard

the human rights of victims?

If you care so much about the victims,

why not focus more

on catching the Headhunter

instead of looking for a quick fix?

What? Did you really just say that?

Yes, do you have a problem?

How is this a quick fix?

-It obviously is.

-If you want to talk

We will take a short break.

We will now decide

whether to lay the bill or not.

The government has proposed a bill

to mandate genetic tests on fetuses

and force ab*rtion on those

who possess psychopathic genes.

Those in favor?

Please put your hands down.

Those who oppose?

It's four against four.

That means I have the casting vote.

My vote is

Why do you think he beheads the victims?

It's to delay the identification

of the victims for as long as possible.

Taking off their clothes

Taste this for me, Seo-jun.

They're all done for the same reason.

Why did you cook a feast?

You're pregnant.

There we go.

It's all for our special guest.

He's lived in the UK since he was a kid,

so I wonder if he'll like Korean food.

Daniel.

How long has it been?

About seven years, right?

-Come on in. It's cold out.

-Okay.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

It is an honor to meet

someone as great as you in person.

I wouldn't be who I am today

if it weren't for him.

I owe him for everything.

What nonsense. Come in.

I wanted to attend your wedding,

but I was too busy with my research.

-I'm sorry.

-It's not a problem.

Your Korean is perfect

for someone who grew up in the UK.

My adoptive parents are Korean,

so they made me speak Korean at home.

I see.

By the way, about your sister,

any luck with the search?

Not yet. I'm still looking.

Oh, right.

My mom congratulates you both

on becoming new parents.

Oh, she shouldn't have.

Thank you.

You must be starving.

Will you show him around

while I get dinner ready?

All right.

-Come with me.

-Okay.

Gosh, what's all this?

Ji-eun is a florist.

When I built this house,

I designed this place just for her.

I'm glad to see you're happy.

This is the best Korean food

I've ever had.

You're a great cook.

I'm glad you like it.

-Try this, too.

-Thanks.

By the way, this is a beautiful house.

It's like a house from a fairy tale.

He designed it

and built it with his own hands.

It was her dream

to live in a country house.

Oh, right. May I open this?

Yes, of course.

Oh, my.

My mom made it herself.

She loves Seo-jun more than she loves me.

Seo-jun told me

the baby's nickname is Blessing.

I told my mom and she embroidered that.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you so much.

Please thank her for me.

I will.

How cute.

So, what brings you to Korea?

Drive safely.

I thought the weather would clear up soon.

What's wrong with the car?

Oh, dear.

Why is this car giving me

such a hard time?

I knew something was up

when Yeong-sik lent it to me for free.

You should've rented a sedan.

This is more like a bus than a camper van.

It's embarrassing. Isn't it?

Yeong-sik put in a lot of work

renovating this.

Sure, whatever.

What are we going to do?

Hey, there we go.

Let's go.

So?

How did it turn out?

The President is enraged.

How could you oppose?

Don't tell me

the opposition party talked you into it.

We took a short break.

That's when I got a call from my wife,

saying she was pregnant.

We've been desperately trying

for ten years.

I would never give up my child

even if I were to find out

they had the gene.

Congratulations.

Please congratulate your wife, too.

-Thank you.

-But remember this.

You just stole the right of your child

to live in a world

without wars and crimes.

It got denied?

What do you think, Daniel?

I'm just a scholar who does research.

I'm not on either side.

What about you?

I'm all for it.

I don't want our baby living in a world

with such terrible criminals.

You look a bit tired.

Go and get some sleep.

-What?

-He's right.

I'm going to leave

after I chat with him a bit more.

I'm fine.

He's just a bit worried

because I'm pregnant at my age.

You really do look tired.

-Let's go.

-I'm fine, though.

Please excuse me, Dr. Lee.

I'll be back after a short rest.

-Sure, go ahead.

-Okay.

I'm impressed. The Nobel Prize?

You are really fulfilling your dream.

Don't flatter me.

I'm still just a nominee.

He's

He's still at large, isn't he?

What?

Yes.

It's been seven years now.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Hey.

It pained me to see you suffer so much

after what happened to Jennifer.

So do you know how happy I was

to hear about your marriage?

And now, you're about to have a baby.

Forget everything and be happy.

I'm sure Jennifer

is happy for you in heaven.

Thanks.

Thanks for driving me back. Go home now.

Sorry I can't see you off at the airport.

If it weren't for the surgery

Once our baby is born,

the three of us will go visit you.

Sure. My mom would love that.

Drive safely in the snow.

Dr. Daniel Lee.

Are we there yet?

It should be somewhere around here.

Did I take a wrong turn?

Mu-won, aren't you sleepy?

A little bit.

We're all good.

We just need to turn left

and drive for ten more minutes.

Oh, jeez.

We're almost there.

OSEONG CAMPING GROUND

OPEN

Dad, how come there's no one here?

Are we here?

I don't think it's open.

Did you make a reservation?

Yeong-sik told me that I didn't need to.

Oh, jeez.

-Try calling the number.

-Okay.

Put these on. Your hands must be freezing.

It's snowing heavily.

-Mu-won, are you wearing your gloves?

-Yes, we came to do smelt fishing.

What?

Okay.

The ceiling of the water station

partially collapsed due to the heavy snow,

so they've been closed since yesterday.

Then what are we going to do?

They told me

that we can stay free of charge.

But we'll have to collect water

from the mineral spring

since they've closed their water tank.

Forget it. Let's just go home.

No.

Let's just camp out here.

Please? Mom.

Let's stay.

Even if we leave now,

we'll get home way past midnight.

Plus, I bet the boys are hungry.

Please, Mom?

Fine.

We're only staying

because it's your birthday, Moo-chi.

Hooray!

-Mu-won, let's go ride a sled.

-Okay.

Be careful. Make sure

the ice is frozen first.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Stop it. Go away.

Oh, that's hot.

Where's the mineral spring?

Oh, right.

Over there. That's where the spring is.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Is that fast enough?

Go quicker. Faster.

No, wait!

They're done.

Maybe I should've gone with her.

Mu-won!

Moo-chi!

Stop sledding

and come eat some sweet potatoes.

-Moo-chi, let's go eat.

-Okay.

I'm going to fetch your mom

from the spring.

THIS WAY TO THE MINERAL SPRING

It's pitch black.

Is it because it's the countryside?

What was that?

Honey.

Please

Please don't k*ll me.

Please spare me.

Please

Please let me go.

Please don't k*ll me.

Run.

Go!

Hurry!

-Isn't it delicious?

-It is.

It was fun sledding, right?

-Yes.

-Don't you want to do it again?

Get in the car! Now!

-Hurry!

-What's wrong, Mom?

Quickly. Hurry up.

Mu-won.

What's the matter, Mom?

Come on. Please start.

Mom.

What about Dad?

Where is he?

Look. There's Dad.

Hide.

Stay down.

Why are you crying, Mom?

I'm scared.

Mu-won.

Listen carefully to what I have to say.

There's a handle beneath the chair

where you sat to snack.

A door will open when you pull it.

Take Moo-chi with you and hide in there.

Stay inside no matter what happens.

Don't make a sound, okay?

Mom.

-Ko Mu-won.

-Yes.

Look me in the eyes.

Look at me!

You're the big brother.

You know it's your job

to protect your brother, right?

Promise me.

Moo-chi, you mustn't make any noise.

Okay?

Promise me.

Once I get out of the car,

I want you to lock the doors, okay?

Mom.

Lord.

Please look after my babies.

Please.

Lock the doors immediately, okay?

Mom!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Go inside.

No.

Please, no. Just go.

Please just go. Please.

Be quiet.

Mom told us to be quiet.

Let me go.

No, Moo-chi!

Mom!

Mom!

Moo-chi.

Moo-chi.

Moo-chi.

Be quiet.

What do I do?

Moo-chi.

Ko Mu-won, look me in the eyes.

You know it's your job

to protect your brother, right?

Promise me.

POLICE

Over there!

What happened?

Why are you here?

-I told you to stay out of it.

-What happened?

The owner of the camping ground

made the call.

He went to open the water tank,

and that's when he discovered the scene.

The husband was k*lled near the spring,

and his wife was k*lled

in the camping ground.

But their bodies are missing.

What about the boys?

The older one is in surgery

and in a critical state.

The younger one is over there.

He must've seen his mom

and brother getting attacked.

He isn't doing so well.

OPERATING ROOM

Hey, kid.

Did you see his face?

Did you?

Get a grip.

Did you see his face or not?

Don't be so harsh. He's traumatized.

All right.

Kid.

I must catch that m*rder*r.

He took my daughter, you see.

I don't even know if she's alive or not.

So please

Try to remember.

Did you see his face?

Tell me! Did you see his face?

What are you doing?

Get him out of here.

-Come on.

-Hey.

Let go of me!

-Are you okay?

-Hey, kid.

If you didn't see his face,

then what about his build? His height?

-Say something!

-It's okay.

-Enough!

-Let go of me!

-Grab him.

-Yes, sir.

Hey! Let go of me.

I said, let go!

Wait

Hey, kid.

Let go. Do you remember something?

Are you okay?

That man

He looks just like him!

He cleaned everything already?

He's so diligent.

You're awake. Did you sleep well?

You should've woken me up.

I didn't get to say goodbye to Dr. Lee.

Did he go back safely?

Yes, I dropped him off at his hotel.

-Would you like a cup of tea?

-Sure.

Here.

Bach's music is great for the baby.

I wonder how I'd feel.

About what?

If our baby had the psychopath gene.

Why would you even say that?

I'm just saying

I just tried to imagine

how a mother would feel

if her child was born a psychopath.

Don't be ridiculous.

Blessing, plug your ears.

Your mom should only be

thinking of good things for your sake.

She's terrible, isn't she?

I'm sorry, Blessing.

I shouldn't have said that.

I'll only think of good things from now.

What's with the sirens at this hour?

Was there an accident?

They're stopping in front of our house.

Stay here.

POLICE

What's going on here?

SEARCH WARRAN

CRIME: SERIAL m*rder

HAN SEO-JUN

-Search the place!

-Yes, sir.

What's going on?

Hold on.

What is going on?

Why

Why are you

Don't act like you don't know.

Headhunter.

That man

He looks just like him!

Mom!

You need to calm down.

Doctor!

Mom, Dad

Mu-won

Han Seo-jun.

RENOWNED NEUROSURGEON

HAN SEO-JUN

The Headhunter? Me?

That's ridiculous.

What's going on, Seo-jun?

Why are you doing this?

-Hey, kid.

-Mom!

Hey.

Doctor!

If I can't get an arrest warrant,

at least get me a search warrant.

We can't wait until tomorrow morning!

What are you going to do if we lose him?

Don't you think we're moving too fast?

We only have the kid's word.

Nothing can stop me now.

I've reached the end of my rope.

Why are you doing this to us?

Honey.

-Seo-jun!

-Turn this place inside out.

Look for any m*rder weapons,

missing bodies or heads!

Anything you can find.

-Move in!

-Yes, sir.

You can't just barge in like that!

Hey!

Seo-jun, what is going on?

Why are they doing this?

I'm not sure.

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

You're going to pay for this.

I won't let you get away with it.

Ji-eun, calm down.

I need you to call my lawyer.

Search every bathroom, toilet, and bed.

Don't let anything go!

Find the knife.

Hello?

Mr. Hwang, this is Sung Ji-eun.

Damn it.

There's nothing here.

How is that possible?

We didn't find anything.

I told you we were moving too fast.

We relied on the kid too much.

He's a renowned doctor.

Why would he k*ll anyone?

Die!

What are you doing?

What No!

-Die!

-Hey.

What is it?

We're only staying

because it's your birthday, Moo-chi.

Promise me.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

-What is that?

-Mom

EVIL FACE OF THE HEADHUNTER REVEALED

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

The police found two headless bodies

in a greenhouse behind Dr. Han's house

who turned out to be the Headhunter.

The bodies are presumed to be those

of a couple k*lled at a camping site,

and the NFS is performing the autopsy.

-Here he comes.

-He's here.

He's in the car.

Move aside.

-Bring my daughter back!

-Do you admit the charges?

I am innocent.

What do you have to say about the head

that was found in the snowman?

I didn't build those snowmen.

I don't know how those snowmen

ended up in front of my house.

Breaking news.

The arrest warrant for Han,

the prime suspect in the Headhunter case,

has been rejected.

Han was indicted

because the court questioned

the credibility of the witness.

b*stard.

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

He's the k*ller. We can't let him go!

You need to calm down.

Where is my daughter?

Tell me where she is!

Where the hell is my daughter?

We're not going to let this slide.

Where is my daughter?

Hey.

Hey.

Is she alive?

I beg you.

Please.

Please.

Please, I beg you!

Dr. Lee.

Are psychopaths capable

of falling in love?

No.

They're not wired that way.

They're only capable of loving themselves.

Seo-jun really loves you.

Trust me.

-Here he comes.

-He's coming out!

There he is.

Why do you have a cut on your face?

Were you subject to physical force?

Yes, a detective assaulted

Well

He is a family member

of one of the victims,

so he got a bit emotional.

I pray that they catch the k*ller

as soon as possible

so that he can find his daughter.

Can you confirm

that you didn't build those snowmen?

I did not build them.

I've said this before,

but I do not know how those snowmen

ended up in front of my house.

I sincerely pray that the Headhunter,

who did such unspeakable things,

gets apprehended by the

Ji-eun.

Please move out of the way.

I'm sorry I put you through this.

Everything's been cleared up now

It was you.

You built those snowmen.

Snowmen?

Did he build those snowmen?

Blessing.

Your dad must be building

a snowman family.

Daddy snowman.

That must be you.

And that must be me.

This is breaking news.

He's the Headhunter!

That's crazy.

I can't believe this is happening.

Damn it.

I'm almost home.

All right, Daniel. Get some sleep.

Sir.

Do you know

where Oseong Camping Ground is?

Turn left up there

and drive for another ten minutes.

Thank you. Be safe out there.

It's a great weather to hunt.

So he's the m*rder*r?

You really are clever.

Why did you marry me?

I was told that psychopaths

can't love anyone but themselves.

That's how they were born.

Tell me.

Why did you marry me?

If you don't love me, then why?

I guess you could say

it was for reproduction.

I needed an offspring.

I needed a Han Seo-jun Junior.

-You b*stard!

-Arrest him. Hold her back.

You crazy jerk!

-Arrest him.

-You jerk!

Lock him up.

You b*stard!

What are you doing? Open the door.

-Get the key.

-Yes, sir.

Open the door!

What's taking so long?

Is it not there?

Go get the key right now.

Did you do it?

Did you k*ll her?

Did you k*ll my sister?

I thought you two were mugged

while you were on a picnic.

Did you k*ll her and stage it

as if you guys were mugged?

No, right?

Tell me I'm wrong.

Human lives can be surprisingly durable.

Don't you agree?

I think it was about 20 times.

That's how many times I stabbed her,

but she still tried to run away

as she was bleeding.

I'm sure it hurt a lot.

So this is what I said to her.

"Jennifer."

"If you don't come out right now,

I will drive over to your house,

tear the limbs of your mother and brother,

and filet their body parts."

"Make your choice."

"Come out right now

if you don't want

to witness your family cut in pieces."

"One."

"Two."

She eventually crawled out

from behind a rock covered in blood

before I even finished counting to three.

Do you know how ridiculous she looked?

Why

Why did you k*ll her? Why?

She loved you so much.

So why?

She aborted my child.

Without my permission.

Unbelievable.

She told me she didn't want a child.

How could she dare

abort my baby?

What do you think you're doing?

Even as she was taking her last breath,

she begged me to keep my word

and spare you and your mother.

The way she looked at me

as she begged was very sexy.

Shut your mouth.

One of my colleagues from the UK

works at a lab here.

Would you like your baby to get tested?

DO NOT CROSS

You're here.

One moment.

It is in that direction.

Come on in.

Okay.

What's the result?

It can't be

Are you all right?

I want an ab*rtion.

I'm not a doctor.

Besides, you're far too along

to get an ab*rtion.

Then what am I supposed to do?

-Give birth to a m*rder*r?

-They might not turn out to be one.

You said it's 99 percent accurate.

You want me to bet on that one percent?

It's Han Seo-jun's offspring.

Hello?

Yes, I'll be right there. Okay.

There's someone here

whom I must see urgently.

I'll be right back.

You got tested, didn't you?

I thought so seeing that you were pregnant

and came to see Dr. Lee.

Did you also

My husband took part

in Dr. Lee's research back in the UK.

He wanted to help with the research.

I was six weeks pregnant at the time,

so I volunteered to get tested.

The results came out a few days later.

My husband told me everything was fine.

He said our baby was normal.

I see.

But it turned out

to be a lie.

Our baby

apparently has the psychopath gene.

My husband kept it from me

because he was afraid

that I'd get shocked.

How far along are you?

I am now 23 weeks pregnant.

That's fortunate.

You can still get an ab*rtion.

You can always have another child.

My husband

died last month in an accident.

He tried to save a child

who ran into the street

chasing after a ball

and got hit by a truck.

I loved him more than I loved myself.

This child

is the only thing I have left of him.

That's the type of man he was.

He was always willing

to sacrifice himself for others.

He was a righteous man.

The offspring of such a man

can't possibly be a psychopath.

There's no way the baby

will be born a m*rder*r.

I'm going to have this child.

I'm going to have this baby

and prove that Dr. Lee is wrong.

What are you going to do?

I wish you luck.

Headhunter Han Seo-jun,

the notorious serial k*ller

who brutally k*lled 20 innocent people

and mutilated their bodies,

was sentenced to death in the final trial.

With this, the execution

of Han Seo-jun has been confirmed.

5 YEARS LATER

Sorry.

DR. DANIEL LEE VISITS KOREA TO ATTEND

THE INTERNATIONAL CRIME RESEARCH SEMINAR

Come in.

How's the preparation

for the seminar going?

Good, thanks to you.

Thanks for letting me use your lab.

It's nothing.

You helped me out a lot in the UK.

This package is addressed to you.

How did they know you'd be here?

It must be from a hardcore fan.

No way.

See you later.

-Thanks for everything.

-Sure.

I wonder who sent this.

Black snakes eat frogs,

sparrows, and mice.

Oh, they eat mice.

Oh, it's a mouse.

5 YEARS LATER

Does your arm itch a lot?

Stop what you're doing

and go see the nurse.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

It's the

The rabbit

Why did you k*ll the rabbit?

I didn't mean to.

Then why did you cut open its stomach?

It had gotten fat.

What did you say?

I wanted to know if it had gained weight

or if it was pregnant.

What?

That's why you did that to the rabbit?

Why are you scratching your arm so much?

The kids are annoying me,

but I can't take it out on them.

So I'm taking it out on myself.

But there's no one around.

You're annoying me.

You're looking at me strangely.

I am?

Okay. You may go.

His mom is busy with work,

so I came instead.

Did you know that Jae-hun

wants to become a doctor?

Yes, he mentioned that.

We did an IQ test last month,

and his IQ was over 160.

I see.

If I may ask, is everything okay at home?

Sorry? What do you mean?

Jae-hun drew these drawings.

I wanted to talk to you

because it looks like he needs therapy.

Therapy?

Are you implying he has a mental illness

because he drew a few unsettling drawings?

Did you really cut open

a rabbit's stomach?

Honey, you need to come home right now.

What?

That's not important right now.

Do you know what your son did?

I was so humiliated.

It's time to eat.

Choco, look at you.

What is that, Jae-hun?

It's ammonia.

The fish will all die

if I pour this in here.

Die?

No, don't k*ll the fish.

Move.

Dad really likes those fish.

That's why I'm k*lling them.

No, don't do it.

I feel bad for them.

Don't tell Dad that I took Choco.

And don't tell him about the fish.

Tattletales are the worst.

Do you understand?

Jae-min, Jae-hee, I'm home.

Hey.

What's wrong with them?

What did you do?

Tell me right now.

Jae-min, you're a good boy.

Why are the fish dead?

"What is that, Jae-hun?"

"It's ammonia."

"The fish will all die

if I pour this in here."

"Die?"

"No, don't k*ll the fish."

"Dad really likes those fish."

"That's why I'm k*lling them."

I can't believe him.

What is that?

Oh, my.

You punk.

You little crook.

Get up.

Get up, you punk!

Move. Let go!

-Please stop.

-Move.

Do you want to go see Choco?

Choco?

We never got to say goodbye.

CHOCO

Choco.

Close your eyes and pray.

Wish him a safe journey to heaven.

I told you that tattletales are the worst.

I didn't say anything.

It wasn't me, Jae-hun.

You're a liar, too.

You need to be punished.

Mommy.

Go home, okay?

Die.

Just die.

You don't deserve to live.

You monster.

I shouldn't have had you.

I never should've had you.

A monster.

Do I look different to you, too?

They say I was different from the start.

They say I was born different.

They say I was born a monster.

That day, I prayed to God.

I begged him not to let me

become a monster.

Early morning,

at a grape farm in Gyeonggi-do,

the body of a female

college student was found.

15 YEARS LATER, PRESEN

When she didn't return home

after she went for a walk on the 5th,

her family reported her missing,

but she ended up being found dead.

The police consider this

a serial m*rder case

and will expand the investigation.

FALL OUTING

GAENARI DAYCARE

God never answered my prayer.

In the end, I became a m*rder*r.

MOUSE

Hello.

He's kind, handsome, and polite.

Didn't he also receive

the Good Citizen Award?

-Ma'am. I really

-Come and wash up.

I could get arrested, you know.

She's 18.

Bong-yi, wait.

I'll pluck out your tongue

and use it as a jump rope.

And you better say my name properly.

I'll make it quick.

Are you drunk?

You're one crazy cop.

Yes, I'm crazy.

I'm completely insane.

If you jump from here,

all your organs

will burst out of your body.

Did he really jump?

Move!

Why should I apologize?

-You jerk.

-Hey.

No, don't.

You know I never let go like a pit bull.

Come here.

-Get lost.

-Hey.

The fact that he collected trophies means

that the culprit of both cases

is a dangerous psychopath.

You will fail.

-What?

-You can't k*ll anyone.

Hunting?

He may be hunting somewhere right now.

There's no church. There's no cross.

There's no trace it was moved.

That's him. The Headhunter.

So there's a monster inside him?
