(All characters, places, organizations, cases,)
(and surroundings in this drama are fictitious.)
A chopped-up body in a suitcase?
And a peppermint candy was found?
A few years ago, someone who had the nation talking...
did the same, right?
I Su!
(Previously)
Excuse me. Is The Guy alive?
That's nonsense.
Peppermint Candy died during the explosion five years ago.
Is your memory always that amazing...
or do you have a good eye for detail?
I remember everything like a photo was taken.
A photo? Is it like picturing?
Yes.
The person I met was Oh Hyun Jae.
I told you. I'm The Guy.
I'm Peppermint Candy the serial killer.
You're just a copycat. The Guy is dead.
Let me join the RIU.
I'll be of some assistance to you.
Save me!
Team Leader Hwang. Could it have been The Guy?
The candy is just a message. For someone.
Mung Chi.
Mung Chi looks a bit sick.
Wait. There's this guy.
He has a black umbrella.
It's the umbrella I saw at the Go Min Ji crime scene.
What's his connection with Kang Seung Hwan?
The leash that Kang Seung Hwan had,
and the collar on the dog the man had in his arms.
It looks like a set.
He's an accomplice.
Team Leader Hwang, we have a suspect.
His name is Jung Chan Ku, 43 years old.
He's a vet as you've mentioned.
Why are you doing this to me?
Seeing blood makes me feel better.
Look into every animal hospital in this area.
I think he still may be practicing as a vet nearby.
Team Leader Hwang!
Stop the car, Chan Ku!
Stop the car, I said!
He's heading towards a port.
Hurry. You must catch him first.
Hey.
Why do you follow me around so fearlessly?
I'm certain someone else was in the cold storage.
That guy already knew Jung Chan Ku was heading to the cold storage.
You should have reported to me.
Are you the only detectives?
Sir, are you here to work together?
Come on!
I can overlook your personal vendetta and suspicions you have.
But let's put our organization first.
We'll find out which one of us was putting our organization first.
I didn't find any peppermint candy.
Someone must've taken it out.
On the day of the incident, Chief Choi entered the autopsy room.
You'll be officially working here.
Will you keep your promise?
That you'd bet your life if The Guy were alive.
Remember that promise you made?
Hello, Chief Choi. It's Na Jun Seok.
Just in case,
could I get police protection?
The next target is Jun Seok.
Jun Seok will be murdered in front of a lot of people,
so that everyone can witness his revival.
(Episode 5: Inattentional Blindness)
(When you're focused on one thing and do not see anything else)
(3 days prior)
The next bus to arrive is number 334.
(One day before)
You must be busy these days.
People use debit cards even in small stores like mine.
I'm grateful that you always pay cash.
Is someone at home?
Why?
I heard your TV as I was passing by.
Did you leave it on?
By the way.
I think you look a bit different.
There's a different air about you.
Gosh, it's cold.
- Hello. - Hi, welcome.
- Hello. - Hi, it's been a while.
(One hour before)
Darn it.
All right. We're starting now. Get ready now.
Everyone, be on standby.
3, 2, 1.
We're on.
Mr. Na, are psychopathic traits innate or acquired?
Well, psychopaths...
Go!
Seal the exits!
Don't move. Stay!
No one can get out of there.
Stop right here! Stop!
- Hold on. - Don't move!
Hey, stop them!
You can't leave. Please calm down.
- Sit back down. - Stay.
- You can't leave now. - Move!
You can't leave.
You can't go.
Someone was watching.
Did you see that?
What's going on?
My goodness.
I missed him.
It's The Guy.
The Guy...
finally resurfaced.
(Tell Me What You Saw)
Darn it.
What happened?
We think it's the guy who killed Kang Seung Hwan and Jung Chan Ku.
Do you have evidence to back that up?
We found a peppermint candy.
Jung Chan Ku had nothing to do with the candy.
Are you positive?
What do you mean? Did someone take it then?
No, sir.
How did you know he would be the target?
There was circumstantial evidence and we were following it.
Even if you want to...
catch the killer, you should report first.
Is this organization a joke to you?
I never thought so.
Let's be honest here.
Who's your source?
Someone gave you a tip.
It's me.
Okay.
Impose an embargo and tell them to take down the videos.
Why are you asking me that?
Whether it was on live or not,
make sure the videos are taken down!
Next up.
Tonight, at around 8:47pm,
on a set of live broadcast,
renowned profiler Na Jun Seok was murdered.
The murder...
was unexpected and unprepared for,
and aired live.
Viewers are in shock.
I need a detective.
Someone to see for me...
and tell me exactly what they saw.
I think...
a rookie would be best.
Let's be honest here.
Who's your source?
Someone gave you a tip.
(Seongmyeong Clinic)
What is it?
I came to describe the scene to you.
- Too late. - What?
You were in the same space with him,
but you saw nothing.
- Why? - Because...
Did you let your guard down because you joined the RIU?
The circumstances weren't that great.
Listen. A murder scene is never great.
Do you know why I gave you a shot?
Because of your picturing skill.
Video equipment and technology have come along leaps and bounds,
and there are many who are smarter or have better memories than you.
Why did you ask for me in the first place?
The ability to see things as they are.
That's what you had.
People...
only see and hear what they want...
and what they experienced.
But if you can't catch what's needed when it's needed,
then your ability is...
of no use to me.
You can go now.
Hey.
You should watch out.
The Guy saw you.
Get in.
It's getting cold. Eat.
Why did I lose him?
It's not your fault.
Is it bearable?
It is so far.
I'll tell you if it gets unbearable.
Ask what you want.
Were you...
at the scene of the explosion five years ago?
Hyun Jae! Get out of there right now!
I Su. I Su.
- I Su. - Hyun Jae!
Everything changed that day.
Hyun Jae and me too.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a raging fire.
The Guy.
Where is he now?
It could be someone here.
He'll be watching us from somewhere.
You didn't get to see him?
No.
Is he good to you?
You know how he doesn't say much.
But when he comes home, he just listens to my music.
You look happy.
When he just listens to my music, he looks as happiest as he can be.
That's how I can tell how much he cares for me.
Ha Young.
The most special person in my life gave me the greatest gift ever.
Thank you.
What lovely music.
It's a recording of a close friend of mine.
What a talented friend.
Unlike me,
she had a lot of things.
You should meet this friend often.
It gets harder to meet up with your friends as you get older.
I wish I could,
but I can't.
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
How did it go?
I didn't find much.
Someone who died five years ago...
came back alive and is murdering people?
Doesn't that sound odd to you?
What do you mean?
It takes three people to create a beast.
If three people get together and claim that there's a beast,
then there is indeed a beast, whether it's true or not.
Everyone is talking about him everywhere I go.
Do you believe the rumor too?
No, sir.
If he is indeed alive,
the police will take the biggest hit.
Who, then, would benefit the most from this?
Sorry?
Track Ha Young.
It's too weird to be just a coincidence.
Watch that newbie too.
The clueless constable.
You mean Su Young. She's a detective.
There's someone behind Ha Young.
Find out who that is.
(DEAD: Go Min Ji, Kang Seung Hwan, Jung Chan Ku, Na Jun Seok)
Mom?
I'm...
My goodness. That startled me.
Hello.
You need to come home earlier, young lady.
It's a scary world out there.
That's so careless of you.
All right. Good night.
The Guy was really enjoying it,
isolated from others...
and just watching them from afar.
Did he have any contact with others?
He calculated every factor that could go wrong...
and put his plan into action.
We need to find...
where he messed up on.
It is Team Leader Hwang Ha Young.
It's me.
What are they saying?
They're telling me to wrap up the site investigation.
I only have an hour to look around.
Find the person who put the peppermint candy on the table.
There's a chance that the person could've seen The Guy.
Hello.
- What brings you here? - I'm from the Mucheon RIU.
We would like to interview...
all employees who were present during Jun Seok's death.
Yes, ma'am.
Su Young!
No!
Darn it.
Seriously?
It's not me!
I really don't know anything!
Do you want me to break your wrist?
All right, I'll tell you.
My goodness.
Who is it?
Some man told me that he'd pay me 300 dollars...
if I just put the candy on the table.
Why didn't you say anything then?
I was scared that I'd be suspected.
Sorry.
Do you remember his face?
No, I don't.
I think he just looked like an average guy.
You just need me to put it on the set, right?
But what was weird is that...
I think I could smell gasoline off of his hands.
- Gasoline? - Yes.
It's nail polish.
Team Leader Hwang.
(Recycling)
He must've put it on to hide his fingerprints.
(National Forensic Service)
There's some trace left,
but it's too small.
He's a smart one, that guy.
That's why we're here.
It's going to take some time...
and we might not be able to get any results.
We have to get results.
This is bad.
(Lee Yeon Ji)
(Cha Su Young)
(Oh Hyun Jae, 23, Majin-dong)
Room 410!
Yes?
The district office is doing a registry of all occupants,
so please sign here for me.
- Do I sign here? - Yes.
You said nothing was missing anyway.
Let's wrap it up here, you've seen everything.
Pause.
Who's that?
Who is it? When did he come in?
Do you know him?
Being unable to differentiate between reality and imagination...
is a psychological issue.
You know well what trauma is.
Have you ever heard of this saying?
That fate is what heals an illness,
but doctors are the ones who get paid for it?
That's true.
The most important medicine is...
the patient's willingness to recover.
But...
it's too early for you to relax yet.
No need to scare me,
I'm already scared.
I'm glad to hear that.
Anyway, don't overwork yourself.
I'll get going now.
Doctor An,
thank you for everything.
That's the 1st time I've heard you say that in 5 years.
I saw the news. Be careful.
I'm home.
I told you not to wait.
Did you eat?
Are you asleep?
Based on my reporter instincts,
you know the female constable that I talked about before?
The detective that just joined the RIU recently.
You said that there's something weird about her,
that someone must've pulled some strings to get her there.
I think...
she's something.
(Anguk Daily)
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
I contacted the nail polish manufacturer,
and because it's a mass-produced product,
they said it's going to be difficult to track all the sellers.
Apparently, a lot of men purchase clear nail polish.
Try all the stores near the broadcasting station.
Yes, ma'am.
Tracking the malicious texts isn't easy either.
He used a foreign server to get into the system.
- What about the fishing line? - I'm heading over to...
the manufacturer later on.
Contact me as soon as possible when you find someone suspicious.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Only the registered reporters are allowed inside.
Why are you being so strict all of a sudden?
I've been here so many times!
It's the rule,
so you cannot enter if you're not registered.
Are you really going to do this? Just let me in.
- Come on! - Come on!
- We need to work! - Let us in!
No, I told you that you cannot come in.
Come on.
- Why are you being like this? - Thank you.
Go home already!
I'll give you updates when there is one.
Did you find anything?
Yes.
It's a fishing line used on a pelagic fishing vessel...
and it's not domestically-produced.
It's not for people who fish for a hobby.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
What did she say?
Where do we find it?
It'd be easier to find a needle hidden in a haystack.
(Riddie Fishing Supplies)
Hello, we're the police...
and we'd like to ask a few questions.
Do you sell this here?
No, we don't.
Thank you, have a nice day.
(Imported Perfumes)
Yes, Team Leader Hwang.
No, we haven't found anything yet.
Yes.
As Detective Yang mentioned, it's going to be difficult...
to find the seller, as it's a mass-produced product.
- Yes. - What's this?
Is this lead pencil marking?
Yes.
We've checked all the shops near the broadcasting station.
We'll look around some more and update you later.
Yes.
The Guy is getting closer...
to the people around me.
Who's going to be next?
The next target.
It is Cha Su Young.
Detective Oh?
I have something to tell you.
- Go ahead. - I think...
someone may have broken into my room.
- Is there anything missing? - Nothing is missing.
But...
I don't have a good feeling about this.
If he didn't take any property, he must've taken some information.
I think he may have looked through my notebook.
Be careful.
You may be the next target.
Yes, sir.
(Medical Examination Results)
(Patient Oh Hyun Jae)
(Illnesses: multiple fractures, lower body paralysis, cornea damage)
(His corneas are permanently damaged and he needs transplant operation.)
I didn't know you were here.
I'm just dropping by.
It brings back old memories.
This used to be my office when I was a team leader.
Do you have something to tell me?
Ha Young,
I'm going to give you some advice as your senior at work and in life.
You can do anything you'd like,
but don't do anything that the organization doesn't want.
By organization, you mean yourself?
I'm someone who is very loyal to the organization.
But...
my precious junior seems to be going against it.
I'm just worried.
I have work to do.
There's going to be...
an employee evaluation held next month for restructuring.
There's someone behind Ha Young.
Find out who that is.
The clueless constable. Watch that newbie too.
(Oh Hyun Jae, 23, Majin-dong)
Don't wait up.
I might not be able to come home for a while.
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
We will share our interim case report...
regarding the murder of Professor Na Jun Seok.
Based on...
the security footages and witness testimonies,
we have pinpointed a suspect and are currently in pursuit.
Then, what about the peppermint candy from the scene?
We have concluded...
that it was placed to cause confusion in our investigation.
Does it have nothing to do with The Guy who died five years ago?
Yes. This has nothing to do...
with the series of recent murders.
We believe the culprit holds a grudge against Professor Na.
And this murder is a revenge crime.
We will apprehend the culprit as soon as we can.
Then, is there a target for his next crime?
- Please answer my question. - Are you sure?
- Please answer it. - Answer our questions.
Hold on!
Wait!
We will explain it in detail through our press release.
- Are you sure there's no target? - Who could be next?
- Please answer our questions! - Answer one more question.
- Hold on. - Are you sure it's a revenge crime?
- Come on, you can't go like this. - Answer our questions.
- A comment, please. - Hold on!
- We need answers! - Is there proof?
Yes, Ji Min. I'm on my way now.
Okay.
I've seen him from somewhere.
No, I told you that you cannot come in.
Why are you being like this?
(Name: Lee Bo Kwang)
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
Follow the taxi ahead.
Ji Min, it's me.
Among the correspondents at the station,
there's a guy named Lee Bo Kwang. Do a background check on him.
Lee Bo Kwang?
He submitted a leave of absence six months ago.
And I don't see any criminal records.
- What is it? - Something is just off.
Please look into him a bit more.
Where did he go?
I checked into his card statements and medical records.
He doesn't have a family.
And I have nothing to go on to see where he's been for six months.
Please look into him right now.
What? Where are you now?
I'm near the intersection in Yeonsil-dong.
I'll call you again.
Yes, what is it?
Where are you?
I'm about to get off work.
Come here right now.
The Guy is around here.
Hurry.
How can I help you?
(Oh Hyun Jae)
(Seongmyeong Clinic)
Team Leader Hwang, Su Young...
requested a search on the house of a reporter named Lee Bo Kwang.
Where's she right now?
When I was on the phone with her,
she said she was near the intersection in Yeonsil-dong.
- Man Su. - Yes.
Go to Lee Bo Kwang's house with Tae Sung first.
I'll go to Su Young.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll send you the address.
Hey, hurry up.
(Seongmyeong Clinic)
Hey.
Are you all right? Hey.
I'm at Seongmyeong Clinic at the intersection in Yeonsil-dong.
Dispatch an ambulance immediately. He needs medical attention now.
If he didn't take any property,
he must've taken some information.
(Oh Hyun Jae, 23, Majin-dong)
(Detective Oh Hyun Jae)
(Cha Su Young)
(911)
Team Leader Hwang, it's me. Detective Oh is the next target.
I can't get a hold of him.
It's because of me. His location has been exposed because of me.
Team Leader Hwang, we're heading to Lee Bo Kwang's house.
We don't know what will happen. Everyone, be careful.
(Cha Su Young)
(Personnel Record of Police Officer)
(Senior Superintendent Choi Hyung Pil)
(A message from Lee Ji Min)
Lee Bo Kwang, 78, Jeonsu-dong.
I'll send you an address. Head out now.
You must catch the culprit first at all costs.
Go now!
(Welcome)
(Cha Su Young)
It's been a while.
Has it been five years?
We meet at last.
Oh Hyun Jae.
(Tell Me What You Saw)
You used me to lure The Guy.
You're looking for a hit-and-run car you saw when you were young.
I can help you find it.
Did you plan this? To catch The Guy?
Can you prove to me that you're The Guy indeed?
Where should the other cuff go?
- Freeze! - Put your hands up!
Be careful. I think he's completely insane.
There's something I want to hear from you.
You will never be able to catch me. (Special thanks to Lee Si Won.)
