01x20 - Ga Hyeon Finds out Who the Culprit Is

[bunniefuu]

Sir, Ko Jae Young had gone missing three days ago.

I think they kept it a secret in case the reporters swarmed

around them when they found out that he was missing.

Ji Hyeong Ju didn't call you either?

No.

Darn it. I don't know what he's thinking.

We should've reported this

to the internal inspectors during Bae Jung Tae's case.

Look what happened to him in the end.

But Corporal Ji doesn't have any motive to k*ll Ko Jae Young.

He had to wait until the hypnosis to reveal the real culprit,

so he could clear his suspicion about the recording file.

He could have k*lled the victim

because he was scared that he would be exposed.

- Hey, Jin Sa Kyung. - I'm frustrated too.

Shouldn't he at least call us?

We need to know what's going on if we're going to help him.

If you know,

will you really help him?

(Nam Soon Woo and Jin Sa Kyung, Sunday, January 12, 2020)

- Soon Woo. - Hyeong Ju, where are you?

I have a favour to ask you.

Hyeong Ju.

Soon Woo?

Hey, you can't be here.

If you don't arrest me, you'll be suspended.

I did come here alone. I'll be okay.

What?

Sun h*.

How did you find this place?

I found this from the list of closed buildings the city manages.

This area will be redeveloped, so there are no houses here.

And no one will come here as well.

What's your plan now?

We must catch the real culprit.

He knows me. That's why he lured me into his trap.

He even knows my phone number.

You could have made a statement at the scene.

Why did you run away? You really messed this up.

If I get caught now,

some people will be in danger.

What? What are you talking about?

My goodness. Why don't we let him get some rest today?

Get some rest.

Okay.

It's me. Open up.

- Sun h*. - Hey.

You scared me.

I brought some stuff

you might need.

And you should use this for now.

I need to reach you somehow.

Hey, you. What did you ask Soon Woo to do?

Is that a lead to catch the culprit?

It's a copy of the forensic report.

(Forensic Report)

We found that at Bae Jung Tae's house,

but not at the scene where Kim Se Rin was k*lled.

If I found anything, I was planning to confront Ms. Lee Shin

- and make a deal - I visited her already.

- You did? - I had to save you somehow,

so I was hoping she'd explain everything to me.

Gosh, she wasn't easy.

I don't think she'll spill that easily.

Oh, right.

The handcuffs that were around Ko Jae Young's wrists

were mine.

- Really? - Yes.

That means the k*ller not only knows me

but is around me as well.

None of the detectives

on that list were from our station.

And someone who has ties to Bae Jung Tae

- Sa Kyung is the only one. - That's absurd.

Didn't you say you received a text?

Let me look into that number.

I might be able to find a lead.

Thanks.

You don't need to say that.

I bought some bread.

Actually, I wanted to buy you a meal.

(Forensic Report)

"Cineole"?

(Cineole)

"Alpha-terpinyl acetate".

(Terpinyl Acetate)

(Components of Cardamom)

"Cardamom"?

"Cardamom"?

(Components of Cardamom)

Sir. Sir.

- Ga Hyeon. - Hyeong Ju.

Take care of him for me.

- Hyeong Ju. - Are you okay?

Yes, thanks to you.

What happened? Did you lose him?

Is he the k*ller?

I think so.

My goodness.

Does that mean I almost died?

Did you take those photos

in the USB?

What photos?

Why would he?

A small box was found in Bae Jung Tae's house.

And there was a USB inside.

There were crime scene photos

of all the people who had died.

And we found traces of cardamom in that box.

It's a type of spice that you enjoy.

(Cardamom)

Sir, what is this?

It's a type of spice called cardamom.

Adding a bit of this to your tea will enhance the flavour.

Sir

I did leave that box there.

But

I have nothing to do with the photos or the USB drive.

How could you?

I'm sorry.

Ms. Lee Shin was even aware of Ko Jae Young's voice recording.

Since when have you been fooling me?

The day after Ms. Lee Shin came to my café,

I had visited Zian Clinic.

I wondered which one of you would come and beg.

But I didn't expect it to be you.

But then again, the fear of death

has nothing to do with your age.

You're wrong.

I've always wanted to die.

The only thing I worry about

is how my wife will live after I die.

I came here to find out

when I'll die.

If I were to tell you,

would you do anything?

No matter what it may be?

Did she say you'd die today?

No. She didn't tell me.

She said she'd tell me when the time comes.

What did she make you do?

She wanted me to tell her how the rest of us were doing

and the things we talked about.

I thought telling her those things

wouldn't do you any harm.

We've gone through many things together.

It was

really painful for me.

I had no idea

she made me deliver such gruesome photos.

I don't care if I die tomorrow.

I'll stop informing her.

No.

Please keep doing it.

What?

But

tell us

whenever she makes you do something.

That is,

if you even consider us your friends.

She isn't the one

who's sick.

(It hurts.)

(Lee Young, Mommy)

You want her to be discharged?

Yes.

Yes, I think this place will be better for Young

than the hospital.

Yes, ma'am. I'll do that.

It's her daughter.

She's been resetting

because of her sick daughter.

I'm sorry for putting you in pain again.

I'm sorry for getting sick again.

(Late Lee Young)

Let me

join you, Young.

Mommy

I got the cause of death for Ko Jae Young.

(Autopsy Report)

He bled to death.

His left lung was pierced

by a knife as wide as 3cm.

And the k*ller twisted the knife.

It's the same MO from Bae Jung Tae's case.

And we got Bae Jung Tae's blood on the m*rder weapon?

What?

The k*ller stabbed Ko Jae Young with the knife

he used to stab Bae Jung Tae.

Does it mean it was done by the same guy?

It's a serial m*rder?

That's the direction the RIU is taking.

That means Ji Hyeong Ju

just became a serial k*ller.

Hyeong Ju.

Come on in.

You're staying here? What about the food?

Well, you know

Take a seat.

The air in here is pretty bad,

but I can't open the windows.

Even before we catch the culprit,

you might die from an illness.

Even if I die,

I'll make sure to catch that jerk. Don't worry.

How?

You can't freely move around because you're a wanted suspect.

I must use fate.

That jerk

will probably come after us.

We will end up meeting him

even if we don't try?

So

I really hope I'm next.

Hyeong Ju.

Our fate today will affect our fate tomorrow.

I'll make sure to catch the culprit,

so it doesn't come to that.

Well, whether you catch him or I do,

we'll catch him pretty soon, then.

(Missed call, Choi Young Woong)

Hello, Young Woong.

Really? It would be mean a lot to me.

Okay. See you soon.

I think I might be able to find the detective

who was in contact with Bae Jung Tae.

How?

There was a detective who came

to Young Woong's school and asked about Choi Min h*.

He's going to meet with the teacher who talked to the detective.

Could Bae Jung Tae

and that detective be related to our case?

As soon as Bae Jung Tae got out of prison,

he told Ko Jae Young that Choi Young Woong was Choi Min h*.

How do you think he found that out when he was locked up?

So you think that detective must have done his legwork.

Yes. It's still a possibility.

I'll check on it and call you back.

Okay.

Thank you for your time.

Can you recognize

the detective that came to the school among these detectives?

Yes, Ga Hyeon.

The teacher said he wasn't

on the list of detectives I showed him.

I see. Right.

It's hard to recognize someone just by looking at the photos.

We rarely get a lead that way.

Don't let it discourage you.

Okay. I'll call you again.

Go home before it gets dark.

Okay. I will.

Bye.

(Seoul Makang Police Station)

Ga Hyeon.

Did something happen?

What's wrong?

The detective that went to Young Woong's school

I found out who he is.

Who is it?

It's Detective Park.

Sun h*?

What are you talking about?

On the day he came to the school

He was on crutches.

The detective was on crutches.

We kept questioning

why there hadn't been

any murders for seven months.

Hold on, Ga Hyeon.

This is an awful joke you're making.

Young Woong's teacher

identified him too.

I'm sure of it. It was this detective.

- Let's go. - Three.

Let's take 1 more. 1, 2, 3.

- Did you get it? - Hyeong Ju,

can you smile a bit?

Yes. Why are you so grumpy?

- Look at him pretending to be cool. - You need to show this.

- The autograph? - Yes.

Let's take another one.

- All right. - Smile.

Okay. Smile.

In 1, 2, 3.

That was great.

I'm sure he's mistaken.

Why would he do that? Sun h* is a detective.

Hyeong Ju.

The culprit is a detective too.

I know that. I know,

but even if every detective in Korea is a suspect,

Sun h* would never be one.

Bae Jung Tae

was m*rder*d on the day when he was no longer a suspect.

Ko Jae Young

had gone missing

on his way back home after the questioning.

And on the day when his body was found,

the culprit sent a text message to you.

The culprit knew exactly how the investigation panned out

and the relationship between you and Ko Jae Young.

Someone so close to us was able to do all of this,

but because we trusted him so much

and he was so close to us,

- we didn't even suspect him. - Ga Hyeon.

This isn't a webtoon.

You can't just force the story for the sake of finding the culprit.

I hope I'm imagining things too.

I hope I'm imagining however I want

because I'm desperate to catch the culprit.

Sun h*

is like a family to me.

He's not someone you can just accuse of being a m*rder*r.

Hyeong Ju.

It's a trap.

He probably called the patrol division after luring me in.

We didn't receive any reports.

The closed buildings are being inspected.

They found it on their patrol.

I found this from the list of closed buildings the city manages.

This area will be redeveloped, so there are no houses here.

And no one will come here as well.

Hey, why are you wandering around?

If you need anything, just call me.

Sun h*.

Yes.

How could you believe

what I told you that easily?

- What? - That we were k*lled

by a serial k*ller.

There's no definite evidence. But why did you believe me?

I still can't fully believe it.

We can't call it a serial m*rder because

a few common items like a phone and gloves disappeared.

Who would believe that?

I'm just saying I'll believe you because you said so.

Right.

Sun h*, let me borrow your car.

My car? Why? There are checkpoints

all over the city to catch you. Where will you go?

I just need to meet someone.

Who?

Give me your car key.

If you get caught, say that you stole it from me.

Okay.

(Detective Park Sun h*)

(Detective Park Sun h*, Slide to Answer)

But can't you just check the security footage?

Sadly, that was when the cameras got changed,

so there's no way to prove your innocence.

I fell asleep on my way down from the mountain.

Then I heard two women in a fight.

I left the park after she did.

What brings you here?

Excuse me. Is there Mr. Choi Hyun Woo?

That's me. What is this about?

Well

Detective Ji.

Detective Park asked me for a favour.

He said it was a simple accident, but an innocent woman

was in a tight spot because she didn't have an alibi.

I know how that feels because I had been falsely accused.

So I just made the report as he asked.

He didn't commit suicide.

Given the circumstances, it wasn't an accident.

Are you saying he was m*rder*d?

The owner of a store nearby testified

that Cha Jeung Seok purchased charcoal briquettes from him.

It's been a few years

since we stopped selling charcoal briquettes.

I would've remembered if a detective came.

Why did you come here? What if I wanted to call the police?

Who is

the culprit?

I think you already know the answer.

I guess you didn't have the courage to ask him yourself.

That's right.

It's Detective Park Sun h*

whom you had saved.

He's the culprit.

But Sun h* died.

- But - It was actually quite easy.

You just had to avoid the place on the day of your deaths.

Are you Mr. Cha Jeung Seok?

Where are you taking me?

What happened?

Did you really think I would save you one at a time?

It was quite simple as long as I took care of one culprit.

You know Ji Hyeong Ju?

And I know a lot about you, Mr. Oh Myung Chul.

I know that you're going to k*ll Ji Hyeong Ju today.

But do you know what true revenge is?

If you just k*ll him,

that's too easy.

Making him suffer in pain

until his last breath

is true revenge.

But someone said

the k*lling would be too easy.

It's better to let you live in pain until the day you die.

That's true revenge.

Until my fifth reset, Oh Myung Chul was trying to k*ll

you.

But he failed every time

and was arrested by you.

And all I did was just twist that fate.

Thanks to Oh Myung Chul,

I was able to undergo the reset with you all.

Everything was planned from the get-go?

Are you telling me because I saved him

people died?

Is that what it is?

Why on earth are you doing this?

You have a child whom you must save.

You know first hand how painful death is.

That's why I gave you all a chance.

I wanted to see if anyone would be able to

change their fate.

Now that you know who the culprit is,

you just need to catch him.

I'll keep watching to find out

who will survive in the end

and if changing one's fate is possible.

Isn't that Detective Ji?

That's him.

Stop right there.

Stop.

Detective Ji.
