My sweet Yeo-ok.
-Oh, God damn, I'm so dizzy. -Seriously!
-I'm so fucking into that one tall dude! -It's cold as shit in here.
Seriously, he's so hot. My fucking God.
What the hell are you saying?
-For real… -Shit, aren't you cold, guys?
God, just sit there and stop fucking around.
You know, I…
God, what's with her?
I asked the tall guy out,
but he gave me the short guy's number instead.
But the short guy is cute as hell too.
He's small and cute. Makes you wanna, like, hug him.
-Yeo-ok, would you listen to me? Fuck. -No…
-There's fumes. Don't. -Hey. Shut up, bitch.
Stop nagging me, for fuck's sake.
Hey.
Hey! Stop…
Don't fucking light it.
My poor Yeo-ok.
She did nothing wrong.
She was just unlucky.
She just made some bad friends.
That's what my aunt always used to say.
-Well… -Um…
At least, that's what she believed.
God.
Oh, my head.
Oh, wow.
Honey, don't you smell something?
Come on. Wake up.
What are you…
what are you doing up at this hour?
What's that smell?
Ah shit, Mom.
You just had to ruin everything.
Oh, Yeo-ok…
The police said she signed her parents up
for eight different life insurance policies.
Aah.
It wasn't her disability or poverty.
It was her nature and vanity.
Oh.
Mm…
I know a lot of people have been saying we should give her our condolences,
since she paid the price with her death,
but I have no intention of doing so.
Death is not something that should exonerate any sin
if it wasn't repented for.
So, please, don't give her your condolences.
A KILLER PARADOX
MY COUSIN'S SEON YEO-OK THE BLIND WOMAN WHO KILLED HER PARENTS
STAYING NEUTRAL TILL THIS IS VERIFIED I HEARD SHE WASN'T QUALIFIED FOR THE DOG
Crazy, right?
I guess karma does exist, huh?
-Hey, Jae-sun. -Yes?
-Come here a second. -Why?
There's some detectives here.
Let Ui-seong take care of it and come with me. Come on. Come on!
Yes. Mm…
I'm the one who wrote that post, sir.
How come?
-Does that make you think I murdered her? -No, not at all, miss.
We just had some questions regarding your cousin, that's all.
The, um… the late Ms. Seon Yeo-ok.
-When was the last time you spoke to her? -We don't… talk at all.
All right, but when did you last see her?
Well, it's been so long,
I really couldn't say.
Could you give a rough estimate?
Like how many years ago it was?
When Yeo-ok was in grade school…
…she poured boiling water on my face.
You know why she did that?
Yeah. I read what you posted.
You touched her things without asking.
No. She just fucking wanted to.
Just a reason to try to kill me, because she's just…
She was smiling when she did it.
When she poured that boiling water on me, she was smiling right at me.
If you were me, would you want to remember her?
You can get back to work.
-Thanks for your time. -All right, then.
-Have a safe drive back. -Thanks.
Ah, the service dog we mentioned earlier.
I'll be in contact if we're able to locate it, okay?
No.
It's none of my business.
It's really okay.
-Lord… -Congratulations on your new life!
-Yeah, man! Congratulations! Hey! -Hear, hear!
-You were pretty lucky there, Chung-jin. -Ah, wow.
Thank you.
I might as well get struck by lightning on a clear day, huh?
-My man, Chung-jin. -Yes.
You finally have a badge of honor. How do you feel?
-Hey, did it hurt bad? -Ah… Course it hurt. Jesus.
-This is embarrassing, you guys. -Hey, come on, tell us.
Well, no one here's been stabbed before, huh?
I almost died last year.
Nah, you were nowhere near death. I was way closer.
The soju bottle was this big, and then he… Pfft! Just stabbed me with it.
And you don't even know what's goin' on.
The minute he stabbed me, I thought, "I ought to catch this asshole," but--
-It's true. I turned. -Wow. That's stupid.
Then I started gushing.
-Here we go again. -No, the blood was leaking, I swear.
And that's when I knew.
"Hey, something isn't right. Something's wrong. This is bizarre."
It felt like the blood from my whole body was draining out of me.
Pussy.
-Ah, it's not that bad. -Seriously, guys.
-Ah, you're exaggerating. -When have you ever gotten knifed?
So who murdered those guys, huh?
No idea.
Ahem. These few days have been hectic.
I know. It's odd.
Uh, anyway, uh…
You should go back to the hospital and think it over.
Don't you think you'll regret it?
Hmm. Uh… It's not just this incident, uh…
But if I leave it as is, the doctor says there's a possibility
one day, I'll drop dead.
I'm not cut out to be a detective.
And, with the work I've been doing, I don't wanna go to the night-shift team.
Hey, listen. Every job's the same.
We all carry a resignation letter in our hearts. Ahem.
Do you even have a job lined up…
Hey, come on in.
-Mm! -Here you go.
Hey, thanks.
As I was saying…
Got any plans after you quit?
-You know my wife runs a hair salon? -Mm.
And for the last three years, we've been considering moving abroad somewhere.
Uh, we even put the salon up for sale.
-And I have my severance pay. -Aah.
I can't rely on my wife to make ends meet, so I'll teach myself how to make sushi.
I'd go by James Park, or something like that.
Yeah, I've lived away from family.
It's not a great way to live.
I should've gone with them and become Oliver Park instead.
I feel like I can't even talk to my kids.
Ahem.
My baby was a gentle boy! He's never harmed anyone!
You know nothing about him!
-Will you catch the killer or not? -Ma'am, you're obstructing justice.
-Oh, really? I'm obstructing it? Huh? -Calm down, ma'am. No, you're not.
-Did you catch the murderer? -I'll call later when you're calmer.
-Would you say that if he was your kid? -Could somebody escort her?
You might as well have killed my son again with that autopsy!
Sir, are you all right?
You try getting slapped. Shit.
Aah.
-Hey, sir? -Hmm?
Thinking about Detective Park makes me angry too.
And?
Don't you think we were too harsh on that woman in there?
-What do you mean? -Well, think it through…
Her kid died.
If I were her, I already would've lost it.
They were murdered. We don't have evidence or witnesses.
That's not true. We just haven't found any yet.
There's no murder without evidence.
It's just… that's not what this is about, sir.
I'm sorry.
Hey…
Victims can also be victimizers.
Mm?
Know what I'm saying?
I worked on a case at the Dunsan Police Station.
Her name was Kang Yeon-seo.
-What? -I still can't forget about it.
-What's that? -I'm drawing your eyebrows.
Can you please just wear makeup?
-I'll try. Fine. -You look so good with it.
-Huh? -Hey, that's him.
He looked better in the picture.
This'll look good on him, right?
-What's wrong with her? -I don't know. She has a crush.
She said he was hot, but he isn't.
What? You didn't have to.
-What? -How are you?
-Good. -What's in there?
-What are you doing? -Hanging out.
-What is it? -Relax! It's mine!
-I'm not done yet. -Those your friends?
-Yeah. -What is it?
-No classes? -Let me see.
Dude, chill. It's mine.
One, two, three!
Honey, let me get a bigger smile.
-One, two… -Come on, if you're done.
-A happier one. -Do I look good?
-Want to see? -Let me!
-Hold on, dumbass. -Come on.
-Hold the fuck on. -Hurry up!
-You just don't know how to wait. -Hurry, dude!
-So? How was it? Huge tits, right? -For fuck's sake.
-Her legs are fucking bomb. -Big, right?
-Holy shit. -Let's get the fuck out.
-We gotta run. -I wanna fuck her once more.
Let's go!
Okay.
A month after she was raped,
she took her own life.
-No, you can come by later. -I just want to talk to him.
KANG YEON-SEO
-You can do that another time. -Sir! Can I talk to you?
-This is a funeral, so please… -We have two different stories.
-Sir! -We can talk at the station.
It's very strange you keep avoiding me.
-Please, ma'am. -You never know if it was consensual!
-You don't know! -You're out of your mind, woman!
Why raise your voice?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What makes you think you can attack us like this?
-Do you have no conscience? -How dare you talk to me like that?
-Let's talk outside, ma'am. -What exactly are you implying?
-Sorry, everyone. -Everyone.
-Don't just listen to what you've heard. -Ajumma!
-You can't! -They're kids, but men and women…
-Anything can happen! -What? What?
-You tell the cops what? -Say it again.
-What the fuck did you say? -Stop it!
-I'm not gonna take this from you! -What did you say? She came onto him?
-These things can happen! -You're a bunch of losers.
-How fucking dare you? -Looking to make a buck--
God damn it! Idiot!
-Something's wrong with you. -You bastard!
This bitch came to the girl's funeral
and was accusing the parents of all sorts of bullshit.
-Not fair! -It was that woman we saw earlier.
-Not now! Go! -Hmm.
-This is all crap! -Someone died.
But her son got off easy because he was a minor.
That wasn't the end of it.
Those assholes kept on committing assault, burglary, you name it.
I can't say I know exactly how her parents feel,
but I know, to them, those assholes aren't victims at all, hmm?
I would've killed them myself already if I were them.
People aren't just victims or assailants.
They're all people. That's it.
You think we should go and visit the girl's parents?
Why?
-They might be the-- -Hey. Were you not at the crime scene?
Huh? Did it look like a premeditated revenge murder?
It was spontaneous, huh?
Still, though, you never know, and…
Mm…
Yeah, yeah, it was her.
That's her, all right. Yeah, yeah.
She was standing out there.
She was just standing still and looking around.
Yeesh. I thought she was a ghost.
But then, she didn't come inside the store or anything, but…
-She just kept looking-- -What time was that?
The night shift was just about to start, so it was around 10:00 p.m. Ten, yeah.
-You got cameras, right? -Of course we do.
Look, right over there. Look.
I decided to make an investment and replaced them with new ones.
The video quality's great.
Although that good quality also means the files are bigger.
-And it stores-- -So you don't have it?
Well, we have something. Just nothing older than five days.
We have yesterday's. I can get you that.
Hmm…
What about what's-his-face? Uh…
Who?
Oh, yeah, Lee Tang.
How is he doing these days?
Oh my God, don't even get me started.
Just hearing that asshole's name gets me angry.
Just, how could he stab me in the back?
My door, the door here, it doesn't even make the sounds anymore.
He broke this, too, right?
-Yeah. -What, was he trying to piss me off?
I mean, come on.
I paid him in advance, and he just left.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
I can't believe that little shit.
Hold on.
Actually, I think he saw her as well, sir. That lady.
Um, w-well, does that help you at all?

Ah, fuck me.
What the--
Hello! Registered mail!
No one's home? Oh, God.
My, my. To what do I owe the honor?
If it isn't Detective Jang, the busiest man alive.
Why'd you leave so early?
I, uh, got some more things to do
at the hospital.
You didn't even call when I was in there.
So, what's up?
You were only there for two days.
That's just a long doctor's visit.
Huh? Hey.
I just heard you quit.
You can't quit before you catch the killer.
I found somethin' strange about Seon Yeo-ok's case.
Mm. But there's still a lot more to do.
Jesus, man, is work all you ever talk about?
God, you really are a robot.
If the killer just happens to fall out of thin air,
I'll think about it, okay?
Nothin's gonna fall out of thin air if you just stay home.
You have to at least do somethin'.
Whatever, I'm hangin' up. I have to spend time with my family.
Yeah, well, I'm sure they don't even want you there.
Hey. Drink lots of water, buddy.
You don't wanna get kidney stones, all right?
Think about your health.
-Not the damn killer, okay? -Stop changing the subject and--
-You came home dressed like that? -I wasn't out that long.
Shouldn't Dong-u be home from school about now?
-Oh, he went out for a bike ride. -Ow! Jesus.
-Hey, stop throwing things around. God. -Ow, shit.
-Jeez. -Since when does he have a bike?
Oh, didn't Nan-gam tell you?
He sent it to him as an early birthday present.
-Nan-gam did, really? -Yeah.
Call him and say thanks.
Uh… why didn't he say anything to me about that?
That punk-ass. Jesus.
ATTENDANCE REQUEST
YOU ARE BEING SUED FOR FINANCIAL FRAUD BY MR. JUNG GANG-HYO
Ah, shit.
-Well, he got charged for fraud. -Mm.
But he's just a part-timer over there.
That's right.
So, uh, I just told the guy to file a civil suit,
but then he was quite adamant,
saying I was legally required to process the case.
So I didn't really have a choice.
So I was gonna try to help them settle.
The only problem with that, though…
-The kid's gone off the radar. -Do you have his address?
Let's see…
Address. Just a minute.
-Mm… -Hmm.
I've sent the attendance request. That was… When was that?
Yeah, he should've received it today.
-So… What, do you know him? -Yeah.
If you're able to reach him, please just let me know.
Sure.
Let me know if you can't reach him as well.
-Sure. I'll let you know. -All right. Thank you.
Turn left on this street.
You have arrived at your destination.
Ending navigation.
I should've moved a long time ago.
She hated having her own picture taken, but she loved taking pictures of others.
She took pictures of everyone in her class.
-All of 'em. -May I look at this?
-That okay? -Yeah, please.
I remember once, I told her that she should become a photographer.
But she said she wanted a nine-to-five job.
She wanted to work for some company
and do it as a hobby, so…
And she never really stood out, you know?
She always kept a low profile.
And I'm not saying this just 'cause I'm her dad.
She was so kindhearted,
and generous too.
And that's why I decided to murder them.
Huh?
I said I killed them.
I'm the one who murdered.
I killed them.
Uh… I killed them.
I killed them.
This is Detective Lee Chang-taek, Detective Section.
Hi. Hi, uh…
I wanna turn myself in.
You want to turn yourself in?
Uh… what's your name, sir?
L-- Lee Tang.
Oh, Mr. Lee Tang. Hold on.
Okay, uh…
Uh… I guess you received the attendance request, huh?
This is about you going off the radar after receiving advance payment
from Mr. Jung Gang-hyo
of OS25 convenience store.
You're under investigation for that charge.
Come to the Detective Section at the station on the requested date.
Actually,
do you think I could come today?
Today?
Well, just one minute.
Not seven.
Not eight.
Would 9:00 p.m. be all right?
Yeah.
CONVENIENCE STORE
MOM
So you hit them with a brick?
-But don't remember what you did with it? -No.
The two victims were healthy teenagers, sir.
What, uh, gave you the confidence that you could take them both on?
They were…
wasted and couldn't even walk straight.
So I thought it was my chance.
And how did you know that they were drunk?
Well, they were… nearly unconscious, swaying around.
I'm sorry for going off on my own like that.
You decided to bring him in, then?
You mentioned his probation earlier, and so, um…
So I looked into it, and his probation ended the day before the incident.
I thought he might have been connected to the case,
so I went to go pay him a visit at his place.
It was all thanks to your guidance, sir. I appreciate it.
Ah, the boss helped out with all the rest.
Seriously, though, I was so nervous earlier.
But fortunately, he confessed to everything.
And it matches the circumstan--
Here you go, sir.
You can take your time and fill it out.
Sir, if you'd like to take a minute, how about a smoke before we do this?
I quit a long time ago.
So, why did you lie to us?
Uh, what?
You didn't kill them, did you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, I'm sure you don't know, since you didn't kill them,
but one of the victims had a cigarette burn on his face.
And one more thing.
You're not right-handed, either.
With me.
-What? -Hey, why would you go in there alone?
-What the hell are you doing? -Interrogating him.
You guys went rogue. Now a man's under arrest.
What should I do?
His statement just doesn't add up. None of it makes sense.
There's no evidence, either.
-How is a confession enough? -What do you mean, no evidence?
-There's the brick. He knew about that. -Come on!
He has motive.
Let's say he confesses and tells you he threw the brick into the Geum river.
Are you gonna search the bottom of the river for it? No, right? Mm?
We don't know if he's an abettor, accomplice, or witness.
So, let's take our time and figure that out.
We'll all be fucked if the real culprit shows up. That's why I'm doing this.
-You should have talked to me in private. -I was just…
-I'm sorry for being rash. -You think you're so clever.
But do you honestly think he's telling us the truth about his involvement?
More than likely, he's covering up something. We need to find out what.
-And you believe that? -Yes, sir.
All right then, smart-ass.
You think you're so damn clever, don't you?
If this goes wrong, it's on you.
GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PART-TIMER HE'S COMING IN AT 9:00 P. M.
I'm sorry, sir.
I told you to stay in your lane, Yong-jae.
Didn't I?
You can go home now.
What, is your ego damaged?
That's not it, sir.
I have something to tell you.
What?
I contacted the victims' mothers to let them know we had a suspect.
Which victim?
The dead high schoolers.
Kang Sang-muk?
Did you send him home?
He's already been released.
There won't be a problem, right?
-Let's play, come on. -Play what?
What do you want?
-Mm, tag! -Tag? Again?
Really?
Yeah?
Damn. You've got my respect. You're gangster, bro.
My ass, idiot.
I can't believe you stabbed that cop.
He was pissing me off. The fuck was I supposed to do?
You hit a guy with a fire extinguisher that time.
Insane.
Fuck's sake, I don't talk about that. It was an accident.
The fire extinguisher just fell on him…
I said he was getting on my fucking nerves. I had to do something.
Why'd you do it?
JUST DO AS YOU PRACTICED I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST
Shut the fuck up, dude. You're such a dumbass.
You're the dumbass.
Whatever.
Seriously, bro… use your fucking head.
Shit, will you stop fucking giving me shit? Fuck, bro.
I'm gonna stab you, fucker.
-Right. Like to see you try. -I'll cut your nuts off, bitch.
Are you okay? Sir!
-Wake up! -Ah, shit.
-Call an ambulance! -Oh, God.
He needs help!
Sir, wake up.
-Can you hear me? -Open the door!
-He conscious? -Wake up!
-Open it. -A man hit by a car.
-Come quick. -His eyes are opening.

What about the rest?
Just throw it away. What else?
Let's go!
You were robbed by a snatch thief?
-That correct? -Yeah.
Can't believe that still happens these days.
Exactly.
Son of a bitch, man. What are the odds, huh?
Hey, watch your head, sir.
Just press the call button if you need assistance with anything.
-Okay? -Okay.
We should have seen you out earlier at the station.
I guess all parents are the same.
Well, from what I can tell.
What are you trying to say?
There must be a reason you're going to these lengths.
Is it that you know the killer?
I'm the killer.
It's not revenge if it's a crime you didn't commit.
It wasn't revenge.
I murdered them 'cause they had it coming.
Those bastards.
They got what they deserved.
It felt great, like a weight was lifted.
-Those assholes deserved to die. -Sir.
I understand that sometimes,
things happen that can make you want to murder somebody.
But the punishment isn't yours to give
and should be carried out within the boundaries of the law.
That's my opinion.
I'll come by tomorrow.
Let's try moving your arm.
Is that okay?
-Yeah. -Hold it in place for a moment.
I'll tape it up for you.
-It's stuffy in there, isn't it? -It's okay.
-Uh, I think I can go alone now. -Yeah? You can manage on your own?
-Yes. I appreciate it. -I'll see you soon, then.

But why did you do it? Have you been following me around all this time?
-No. You need to go. -Wait!

No. No, no, no, that wasn't me.
Anyway, there's so many things that I need to tell you about.
You'll learn everything on Telegram. Leave now.
Go!
Thank you so much.
Sure.
Oh!
Oh! Oh, sir!
-Oh, God. -Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
-I'm sorry. -Jesus, you didn't do anything wrong.
Stop saying that.
You're just a newbie, all right?
And it's not like your reasoning was totally wrong either.
You were just trying your best to catch the killer, that's all.
Try not to stress out too much, okay?
Where you going?
-Hello? -Hey, did Lee Tang come in today?
-No, he hasn't come yet. -He hasn't?

Tell me. What did you do wrong?
I…
Tell me.
-Dad. -I didn't…
-It's so loud. -You didn't what?
-Lower the volume or turn it off. -Okay. I'm sorry, Yeon-seo.
You're still up?
And you should quit smoking too.
Look at your face.
Okay. I'll make sure to quit, I promise.
Do you want something to eat?
-Hmm? -You still need those pills, Dad?

Oh, no, I'm… I'm doing okay.

Oh my gosh, Yeong…

Oh my lord. This place…
Oh…
What's this say?
Mom, we should call Gyeong-hwan again.
Read this for me. It looks like he left a letter.
"Dear Mom and Dad."
You know which floor she jumped from?
It was the sixth floor.
She jumped from there…
but didn't die right away.
We got her… to the hospital.
And then she suffered
16 hours, till she died.
And it's…
it's all my…
it's all my fault.
Yeon-seo died unavenged, and in anguish.
I was a terrible father to her, as well.
But…
Why am I telling you this? We just met.
Those bastards…
they raped my daughter.
I wish I could kill them.
If I could, I would.
But now
there's nothing I can do.
Sir.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
But there might be something you can do.
Huh?
