(A game item that decides the result)
This punk.
What a jerk.
What are you?
Who are you?
Why would you threaten me for going to a loan shark?
(Section Chief Bang Sang Sik)
Hello, sir.
Mr. Bang?
Mr. Bang.
(Section Chief Bang Sang Sik)
(10 hours before)
Cha Su Young speaking.
Detective. It's the scrapyard guy you asked...
about the unregistered car.
Yes, sir.
I'm not sure if this will be of any help.
I heard that the local guys who sold...
unregistered cars had a financial backer.
Couldn't that person know about the car you're looking for?
A financial backer?
He gave the money to buy cars with.
Who was that?
He was called Chim Sa Bong.
Chim Sa Bong?
That's all I know.
Thank you, sir. Thanks so much.
Chim Sa Bong?
(Section Chief Bang Sang Sik)
(Police)
- What is it? - Can I...
see my mother's case file from 20 years ago?
Are you at it again?
You ask about that annually.
Just in case I missed something.
You didn't, okay?
The statutes expired long ago.
Then...
have you heard of Chim Sa Bong?
Chim Sa Bong?
Mucheon 11, A5897.
This person could know about that unregistered car.
I'm busy. Hang up.
Why is it Chim Sa Bong?
(Tell Me What You Saw)
(Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital)
- Listen. - No!
The deity will look down on us
(Bathing room)
(Hwang Ha Young)
I found 4789.
It's the VIP suite of Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital.
He will come and protect me.
4789. 4789.
4789.
(Eom Soo Tak, 37)
4789. 4789.
Eom Soo Tak?
Yes, doctor.
Is it time for my medicine?
Who are you? Who are you?
You're not that guy.
Who sent you?
Ha Tae Sik.
Ha Tae Sik? Ha Tae Sik?
4789.
4789. Ha Tae Sik. Ha Tae Sik.
Junggeon Three-way Intersection.
Yes, the intersection.
He said he needed a body.
He called when I was eating and said he needed a body.
One that was burned black.
A boat had caught fire.
(5 years before)
I needed the money. I just left it there.
But someone saw me.
Eom Soo Tak.
The Guy saw you.
I see.
You saw The Guy too.
Did you see him too? The Guy?
Keep going.
What then?
Save me, please. 4789. 4789.
4789. 4789. 4789. 4789.
There's only you and me here.
It's okay to talk.
What happened then?
Eun Ju.
Eun Ju?
Was Eun Ju your girlfriend?
Eun Ju.
He killed her in front of me.
The Guy killed your girlfriend?
No! I'm okay.
4789.
4789. 4789. 4789. 4789. 4789. 4789. 4789. 4789.
It's safe here. It's safe here.
It's safe here. He said it's safe here.
4789. 4789. 4789. 4789.
4789.
You know how I feel.
No! No!
You don't know! You've never been to the fiery pit!
Fiery pit?
Where it's dark, you can't breathe,
and every day you feel like your veins will explode?
Do you mean that bloody place?
I've been there.
Fiery pit.
Did you get back alive too?
Like me?
I'm still there.
Are you?
I was resurrected.
I was reborn!
Tell me, Eom Soo Tak.
How were you reborn?
Ha Tae Sik told me of this place.
He said I'd be safe here.
Did Ha Tae Sik hide you here?
Yes.
Are you sure Ha Tae Sik sent you?
Then this place is no longer safe!
4789. 4789. 4789.
He's evil. He's evil.
He's evil. He's crazy!
It was yellow. Dolak...
Dolak. Dolak.
I saw Dolak.
I can't talk about Dolak. Not Dolak.
4789. It will protect me.
Eom Soo Tak.
Be quiet.
Someone is coming.
(Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital)
(Reservations, Reception)
Hello, I'm from Mucheon Police.
Hello.
I have some questions regarding a case I'm on.
Does the number 4789 mean anything to you?
That's our VIP suite.
A suite?
What's the patient's name?
It's him.
The Guy is coming.
Be quiet.
Eom Soo Tak!
What's the matter?
- Doctor. - Who are you?
It's him. The Guy is here.
- Doctor. - Try to calm down.
Calm down. Relax.
Just a moment. Mr. Eom, give me your arm.
Mr. Eom!
Calm down, will you? Mr. Eom.
Are you with The Guy?
Don't come closer! I'll kill him.
You are safest in here.
The Guy is here. He's here.
Don't do something you'll regret.
Put it down.
Don't come closer!
Calm down. Mr. Eom!
Eom Soo Tak.
Eom Soo Tak!
Open the gate.
Quick. Hurry!
(Junggeon Three-way Intersection)
Let's make a fall guy.
An untraceable one in its 30s. (5 years before)
Male. I need a body.
I know a guy who deals with such things.
But this will be...
our final transaction.
(Eom Soo Tak)
(Doctor Clean)
Code Zero, Code Zero.
A patient escaped from Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital.
I need your help.
Eom Soo Tak, the escaped patient...
is connected to The Guy.
We must catch him using the local police,
and it must be kept quiet.
Okay.
I'll call the station located...
near the hospital.
Okay, thanks.
(Oh Hyun Jae)
4789. It's a guy called Eom Soo Tak.
Five years ago, Ha Tae Sik had him leave a body at...
Junggeon Intersection to replace The Guy.
The Guy abducted him, but he got away,
and Ha Tae Sik hid him in this hospital.
Eom Soo Tak.
The Guy let him go on purpose.
That sounds like you think we can catch The Guy.
Eom Soo Tak got away.
You must hurry.
The Guy will come for him.
We must find him. Let's talk soon.
(Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital)
4789 worked for Ha Tae Sik.
He can't have gotten far.
We must find him.
I'll keep an eye on Hyun Jae.
He wouldn't just lose track of someone.
I'm sure he has a backup plan.
We know one thing for sure.
That the information you gave me was reliable.
What is it you really want?
If I catch The Guy...
and assuming it's a critical situation,
I'll use my authority and discretion.
What does that mean?
Will you shoot or something?
Do you want to kill him yourself...
Let's say that's how badly I want to catch him.
Now share the information you have.
Not yet.
Let's wait and see.
Where is it?
- Over there. - Hurry up.
It's over there. Look.
Let's see.
(Police)
My gosh.
That's the second suicide in this tiny village already.
It's different this time.
That's Section Chief Bang.
What on earth is going on?
I don't know.
Is it another suicide?
What happened?
I don't know.
He had gambling debts.
There's talk he borrowed from a loan shark.
- What? - What did you do...
- to let another die? - It's him.
- Did you find anything? - Not much.
Look. It's him.
Give me the number of the last person he called.
(RIU Team One)
What's this feeling that it's quiet before a storm?
What storm?
It's way too quiet.
This is Cha Su Young.
It's Detective Kim from Hwayoung Police Station.
Do you know Detective Bang Sang Sik?
Yes, I do.
(Hwayoung Police Station)
Have a coffee.
Thank you.
You're with the RIU?
Yes.
What was his cause of death?
He killed himself.
A hiker found him not long ago.
He was found hanging from a tree.
You called him many times yesterday.
Yes. I only got to talk to him once.
I asked him some personal questions.
But then he called me again at night.
Your name is Cha Su Young, right?
Your name was in his notebook.
(Chim Sa Bong, unregistered car, Cha Su Young)
I think this is about a case I'm working on.
I asked Mr. Bang about Chim Sa Bong.
Did he look into Chim Sa Bong?
I don't know.
Only he will know what he wrote in his notebook.
Could I see the files on his death?
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Okay.
(Chim Sa Bong, unregistered car, Cha Su Young)
(Strongest Engine, currently a scrapyard)
(Jung-gu, Mucheon)
Goodbye.
- Hello? - Dong Sik, it's me.
You know Mr. Bang's dead, don't you?
Of course I do. I saw it myself.
Word reached you already?
I'm at Hwayoung Police Station.
Mr. Bang called me right before he died.
He called you? What for?
I'd asked him about something.
I was the last to talk to him,
so I'm giving a statement.
- What did you ask him about? - It's personal.
Dong Sik.
Did Mr. Bang act strangely in any way?
There's talk that he was gambling...
and that he'd borrowed money from a loan shark.
You're at Hwayoung Police Station? Shall I come and get you?
No. I'll call you later.
Gambling and loan sharks?
Loan sharks?
Gambling. Unregistered cars.
Who should I go to?
Darn it.
- My poor heart! - Hello again.
How have you been?
Your son's really cute.
He takes after me.
Your wife's pretty too.
I used to be the cutest guy in our gang.
Whenever I showed up, the traffic got jammed.
Girls came out from all the bars...
and the traffic went from moving freely to a complete stop.
Where's the water cooler?
Since we're talking about my son,
I must say he got full marks in math yesterday.
He's just amazing at addition and subtraction.
By the way.
- Yes? - I'm curious.
If a private investigator has an affair,
who will investigate him?
I'm the expert at that.
Then this lady...
What can I do for you, detective?
Unregistered vehicles and...
Chim Sa Bong. I want to know everything.
Let's do that.
You're a great negotiator.
If you quit, how about we work together?
She learned that from Oh Hyun Jae.
- Is that him? - Yes, I think so.
Patrol, we located the hospital escapee.
Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital escapee located.
He went into Yongmo Church.
Stay calm, everyone. Don't agitate the suspect.
Just watch for now.
We have orders to stand by.
Don't agitate the suspect...
and wait outside for backup.
4789. 4789.
No! Save me!
No!
You 2 go that way. 2 go this way.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Follow me. You stay here.
Save me!
Stop there!
- Stop! - Stop right there!
Stop!
Where did he go?
Look for him.
Where could he have gone?
- Find him! - He's not here.
Where did he go?
Where did the man go?
- Search that area over there. - Yes, sir.
- You two, come with me. - Yes, sir.
They missed him.
I don't know...
why you're so obsessed with him.
I need to take revenge on him.
(Dolak)
He's crazy!
It was yellow. Dolak...
Dolak. Dolak.
I saw Dolak.
(Dolak Valley- Ridge Trail 1)
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
(Cho Bak Man)
Yes?
We found Sa Bong.
Her name is Bong Yeon Ja and she earned a load of money...
in Tsim Sha Tsui.
But the lady has been doing anything from lending money...
to renting unregistered cars.
She runs a landscaping business as a cover-up.
A landscaping business? All right.
Please send me the address of the business.
Su Young!
Yes?
Why are you so busy?
Well...
Why does it feel like...
everyone in the RIU is busy except for me?
You guys aren't leaving me out on something, are you?
No, sir.
I have something personal to take care of.
Something personal?
Even if it's personal,
you shouldn't go out alone like that.
Excuse me.
None of the trees are ready yet.
I'm from the RIU in Mucheon.
Are you Ms. Bong Yeon Ja?
What brings you here?
We heard...
that you fund the rentals for unregistered cars in Mucheon.
And?
Have you heard...
of Strongest Engine, one of the rental car companies?
I don't know.
An old and dying woman like me wouldn't know anything.
Do you happen to know Section Chief Bang?
Who?
Section Chief Bang Sang Sik of Hwayoung Police Station.
Why would someone that important...
come visit me in this shabby place?
Okay.
Ma'am.
Did you tie those bags of fertilizer yourself?
I can barely tie those,
as my hands don't have much strength anymore.
You should get going now.
I'm busy.
When did your nails break?
My nails?
Why are you so interested in my nails?
You said you're a detective, right?
Tens and hundreds of detectives...
have come here.
I don't know what keeps bringing all of you here,
but the next time you come, bring a warrant.
Bring a warrant, I tell you!
Go!
Ma'am, please calm down and let's talk.
Go!
I told you to not be out alone.
What makes you so guilty...
that you have to threaten an innocent detective like that?
What do we need to find?
There's going to be ledger books.
She's a moneylender,
so there must be ledger books hidden somewhere.
All right. I'll look inside,
- you look here. - Yes, sir.
Black stains?

Kim Sang Gil.
Kim Sang Gil?
Did you find anything?
There's something very suspicious about Section Chief Bang's death.
His name is on this.
I think he may be connected to Sa Bong.
What are you talking about?
Please take this and take care of things for me here.
I have somewhere to go to.
Su Young!
What is this?
I found the patient that escaped from Yuseong Psychiatric Hospital.
He's somewhere in the hills nearby Cheongdang-gil.
Patrols, please get moving.
(Detective Cha Su Young)
Su Young, I found Sang Gil's address.
It must be somewhere here.
Restrict the area and search through it thoroughly.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Let's get going.
He's still warm.
I don't think it has been long since he died.
How did you find where he is?
You're late.
Did you miss him?
Yes.
Why did you go about on your own instead of moving in a team?
Here's the location tracker.
I attached the tracker on Soo Tak.
He probably hasn't gotten very far.
We missed The Guy.
Are you sure he killed Soo Tak?
Are you sure that he's resurfacing?
Let's stop talking about The Guy...
and leave this case...
closed unresolved.
All right.
Soo Tak's death case is being closed unresolved.
Why did Hyun Jae...
let you have this one?
It was his perfect chance to get The Guy.
He must have another plan.
Another plan?
Excuse me,
do you know where 27-3 is?
Go up that way.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Who's there?
May I come in for a moment?
Are you from the community service center?
Are you Mr. Kim Sang Gil, born in 1964?
Who are you?
And you've driven...
Mucheon 11, A5897 before?
I don't know what you're talking about.
- Please leave. - 20 years ago,
at the Hongwoon Intersection at 2pm, October 10, 2000,
a black car pulled a hit-and-run.
The driver then was wearing a black hat.
That accident...
killed Jung Eun Mi of 37 years old.
There was a child in the car with you...
and there's a person who remembers everything,
including the rag doll that the child was holding.
Who are you?
I'm the witness and the victim's daughter.
I can't believe this.
What is it that you want from me...
after all these years?
The case is statute-barred and closed for good.
It hasn't for me!
I...
became a detective for this.
Get up.
Kim Sang Gil.
You are under arrest for a hit-and-run case,
in which you killed Jung Eun Mi of 37 years...
and ran away at Hongwoon Intersection.
You are under arrest for runaway murder.
I should've died back then.
You have a right to speak,
to hire a lawyer,
as well as to refuse to respond in the investigation.
I, Detective Cha Su Young...
of Mucheon Metropolitan Police...
is also noting you...
that you can appeal for an unfair arrest.
Don't arrest me. Just kill me.
I should've died.
I should've died back then.
This is a living nightmare.
You want me to kill you?
Did you ask me to kill you?
In the past 20 years,
I've dreamt of arresting you thousands of times.
The case is statute-barred...
and therefore, I cannot arrest you.
Now, experience what it's like...
to be in a living nightmare that you can't escape from.
Keep living on.
Please don't die yet.

Su Young,
thank you...
for not giving up.
♫ I'm putting them to sleep in my arms ♫
(Dolak)
"Dolak". This is the place.
(Dolak)
No!
Eom Soo Tak...
knocked down this signpost when he was running away.
And he saw the word, "Dolak".
It was yellow. Dolak...
This is where...
Eom Soo Tak and his girlfriend were buried.
The Guy was probably very excited.
A familiar and secret place that could intensify...
The Guy's excitement.
I bet his hideout is around here.
He knows what's going on...
because he's wiretapping the police's radio.
I'm sure he gets strong radio signals from his hideout.
Remember it.
You will have to tell me who ordered you...
to kill I Su.
(Team Leader Hwang Ha Young)
(What's wrong?)
Dad.
I...
found the culprit.
The culprit...
who hit Mom with his car and ran away. I got him.
(Really?)
(You got him?)
(Good job, my daughter.)
Dad, I'm sorry.
I found him too late.
I'm so sorry that I can't do anything.
(Civil Service ID Card, Cha Su Young)
(Detective Oh Hyun Jae)
It's me.
You must be in the middle of something.
I found the hit-and-run driver... who killed... my mother.
Good for you.
Can I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
When you helped me...
for the first time with Cho Seong Ae's case,
do you remember what you told me?
You said you didn't care,
but why did you help me?
I didn't help you.
Then why did you do it?
Just because.
I felt bad for you...
and myself.
What did you mean by that?
Feeling hurt.
A sense of loss people with no future feel.
Hey, Su Young.
Do something...
if you don't want to crumble.
I need you right now.

♫ Eyes you flicker ♫

It's The Guy's hideout.
You finally found it.
Yes.
Did you call Team Leader Hwang?
Not yet.
Store this in your memory first.
(Personal Details Report)
You know that doll? It doesn't belong to a victim.
I'm sure it belongs to The Guy. I bet it means something.
I recognize... this doll.
20 years ago,
when someone hit my mom with a car and ran away...
It's the doll the kid in the back seat was holding.
(Recipient: Team Leader Hwang Ha Young)
Name someone you want to kill.
Well done.
(Tell Me What You Saw)
Do you remember this doll?
What do you know? Why are you here?
Why must we do something...
as nerve-wracking as this for five years?
I can't stand to watch our organization...
to waver like this.
If it's predictable, it's not The Guy's style.
We must find his agenda.
What's the evidence Chief Choi wanted to hide?
What on earth is going on here?
It was impossible to catch him from the get-go.
All he did was cutting off his tail. (Special thanks to Shin Seung Hwan.)
