Flowers for you?
Buy some flowers?
-Ugh, why the hell did you drink so much? -Let go! Get away!
Wow. What a great night.
-Thanks, that was great. -Thank you, sir!
-Let's go for round three! On me! -Aah…
-Let's get out of here. -Round three? No, no.
-I know a great place. -Listen.
-They do a great pork belly. -I can't. I gotta go home.
-Take this. You do round three. -I'm telling you.
-There. Go! -A round of applause, everyone!
-You don't have to pay. Come on. -All right…
-Have you researched being a good boss? -Huh?
-I get it! -He's already a good boss.
-No need to look that up. -No, it's nothing.
-How are you getting home? -I called a driver.
-Let me walk you to your car. -Get home safe.
-Don't ask what we spend this on! -Bye!
-Get home safe, sir. -All right, see you.
Ah. Going to Noeun-dong?
This is my car. Come on, let's go.
Hello?
Hello? You called a driver for Noeun-dong, right?
-Where are you? -Driver?
-I'm here, but I don't see anyone. -I'm already on my way.
Sorry? But I just got here.
What?
Hello? Hello?
Hey, driver. We're heading to Noeun-dong, right?
Oh…
Ugh. Hey, I think we're headed the wrong way.
Hey. Excuse me, where are we going?
Driver?
A KILLER PARADOX
Excuse me.
Welcome.
-Hi. -Hi, uh… how can I help you?
Uh, I was wondering
if you have someone who works here named Lee Tang.
Oh… Lee Tang?
Uh, it… I mean, the name's unusual.
There's a long A in Tang, you know, like in Nan.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He used to work here.
He used to?
Yeah, until a few days ago.
VICTIM'S DETAILS
So
his family repaid the 950,000 won on his behalf?
Yes.
Well, that's everything.
-Hmm? -You can go now.
Oh.
-So we're done? -Yes. All done.
THE PLAINTIFF HAS WITHDRAWN THE COMPLAINT
I'm leaving now. I wish you all the best.
Hey, Mr. James Park, come visit sometime.
-I'll buy you a steak. -Yeah.
All right, get going.
-Have a safe flight. -All right.
-Goodbye, sir. -Goodbye, sir!
-Take care! -Good luck!
Hmm.
The important thing here is that…
Hey.
She's much prettier in person.
Yeah? So what?
How's that gonna help us out?
-It probably won't hurt. -Whatever. Stop staring at her.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
A close examination of the evidence will tell us what we've missed.
Let's go over it again slowly.
Now we have a special investigations unit,
it's only a matter of time before we find the killer.
Or so we thought.
But all we did was waste time.
4 MONTHS LATER
We have nothing to show for the last four months.
We're back to square one.
I mean, we haven't solved a single thing yet.
Isn't it too early to demobilize the unit?
Hey.
They won't be here anymore.
They're doing us a favor.
They've been here since before me. I bet they're itching to go.
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN
I've got other cases to work on.
Other cases.
We've still got more than we can handle.
Oh, we miss you, James Park.
Be careful, I don't want these documents to get out of order.
What did I say? Pack it so it doesn't fall.
-Huh. -I don't get it.
They should just hand the case over to us.
What do they expect us to do after all this time?
Do you think they were really brought here to bring in bad guys?
Hmm?
Those four months were just to prove they could keep themselves busy.
It was just a formality, that's all.
-Just a show. -Right, just a show.
-They just had to show-- -Excuse me.
So all this while, Detective Jang, you thought we were just putting on a show?
Well, we're leaving anyway, so I'll just be honest with you.
It's a profiler's job to get an investigation back on track
when it's falling off the rails.
The cases you showed me in private aren't serial murders.
You're looking at a bunch of coincidences, I'm positive.
-If no proof of murder-- -Wait.
So, you've been treating these as coincidences this whole time?
If there is no proof, we follow the circumstances before our instincts,
as you know.
Especially in Mr. Kang Sang-muk's case.
His statements about the, uh, date of the crime, as well as the motive…
-They fit the circumstances at hand. -And how do they fit, exactly?
You searched the mountains and streams for four months
but never found that brick.
What suspect forgets what he did with the murder weapon?
The extreme shock from the situation may have led him to forget important details--
-Do you really think that makes any sense? -Tell me why it wouldn't.
We should be open to all possibilities now.
You've run out of ideas. You're not being open.
You'll just buy Sang-muk's statement,
and then assume this is all a coincidence, right?
Detective, I'm gonna say something.
Your team's bias was clear during the investigation.
-You refused to cooperate-- -So that's the point you wanted to make.
I get that you wanna saddle us with all the responsibility,
so you can leave here blameless.
Love your show, by the way.
You said this was fun, and now I saw it firsthand.
Aah.
It airs at ten past ten every Friday.
Make sure you watch it live.
Yeah, I'm a big fan.
Hey, Kim. Hey.
Have you eaten?
-Yes. -Why'd you eat so early?
Okay. Let's play some badminton, then.
Good for the stomach.
-Now? -Yes, now.
-Right now? -Yes. Right now.
Loser buys soju?
-Sure, yeah. -Hmm.
God. Those dumbasses.
We got some armchair detectives here. Watch out.
Guys. Don't you think they're relying too much on behavioral analysis?
They have to approach it geographically too.
Murderers don't just choose their crime scenes at random.
They usually stay near their house,
or, at least, they stay within a pretty small radius
of their normal daily activities.
Come on.
How pathetic.
Aah.
Time to eat.
Yes, jjajangmyeon!
Uh…
-Hello? -You're lookin' well. You busy?
No, I'm not busy.
But I was just about to eat.
Huh.
So, what brings you here?
So you're saying that these cases look like a series of serial murders, right?
It's possible, is all I'm saying.
You haven't changed a bit.
QUICK DELIVERY
You're still… how should I put it? As stubborn and obsessive as I remembered.
Oh, uh, those are kind of expensive.
Please, just be real careful.
Hey, so, don't you think it's kind of weird that there's no evidence?
-Nothing? -There's no evidence?
It shows how the police fumbled the initial investigation.
They can't cooperate or communicate.
To connect the cases, they need to find at least something, but…
Isn't that how you got caught, hmm?
Oh, come on. That was a long time ago.
-So? -That's embarrassing, man.
Cut to the chase. Is it a serial murderer, or what?
The way I see it,
it's not a serial murderer.
You don't think so? Why not?
-I'm looking at the earlier cases. -Mm?
The murders don't look premeditated. They're accidental and impulsive.
The murderer was using blunt weapons rather than a knife.
But if you look at a later case…
-Here. -Hmm.
The killer used a knife.
They stabbed the victim four times.
He did that without any hesitation.
As if murder was the sole purpose.
Hmm.
That's what makes this one completely different from the case you brought me.
-No way it's the same person? -No.
How would a person go from sharp to blunt?
-Exactly, yeah. -Hmm.
So I'm thinking,
what if we place
the prosecutor right in the middle?
-Does that make a difference? -The prosecutor?
Hmm.
That might change the story, then.
-Does it really? -Yes.
Because Prosecutor Ji was stabbed with a knife.
-Hmm. -It was sloppy.
-But the killer stabbed him once. -Mm-hmm.
So the killer might not have been as experienced at that point.
But he could've been rehearsing. And after that, he was doing it perfectly.
-So, could be the killer gradually… -Evolved from one to another.
-Exactly. Yeah. -Ah.
So, in fact, a serial murderer is likely.
Yeah, that's right.
-But… don't you find it odd? -What?
I mean, it's not like the victims confess their sins to the killer.
So, then, how do they all end up being criminals?
Isn't that interesting?
So what's Prosecutor Ji's crime?
Awesome, thank you.
Anyway, the conclusion here is that
I don't really think it's a serial murderer.
-That's just my opinion. -Mm. Did you hear that?
All right, good.
Okay. I'll let you in.
Wait. Who are you letting in?
You've been hacking the prosecution's intranet again.
-What? -Prosecutor Ji's case is confidential.
How'd you know about it in such detail?
Well, it was all over the news.
-Come on in. -Thanks. Pardon the intrusion.
-Say hi to the detective. -Who are you?
-Let's go. We'll talk at the station. -This is an illegal arrest.
You can't do this without a warrant. This is abuse of power.
-I'm being detained unlawfully. I'm not-- -Here.
Who says we're arresting you?
-You broke his head. -Hmm?
Choose your fate very carefully, okay?
One.
You can cooperate, come to the station, answer some questions, and come back home.
Two.
I come back another time with a search-and-seizure warrant.
Which one?
We might turn this place upside down while we're at it.
Mr. Profiler, you must love playing with your toys. Isn't that right?
Bet you'd love putting them back together.
-I can't tell if I can see through this. -Mr. Roh.
-Yeah? -Take a seat.
Okay.
What is this?
Why am I here?
You two call the shots, and you're in the same room.
-Saves me time. -We're not done yet.
Captain. I admit he looks a little odd.
But if we apply pressure, we'll find something useful.
You heard him talk about the prosecutor's case in detail.
I've told you everything.
Know what it feels like at my age
to have the chief scream and spit in my face 'cause of stunts like this?
-Let me get these in order. -I'm just trying to retire in peace.
I'm so sick of this nonsense.
Come on, Captain. Please. Huh?
Consider this penance for the late prosecutor, okay?
We're not sure what it is,
but it's beginning to look like the man had a lot to hide.
His death is linked to other cases, so it's the prosecution's headache too.
We're not catching much heat just yet.
But if these turn out to be serial murders, we'll be in trouble.
-Okay. Okay. -Give it a try.
If anything comes up, let me know right away.
-Am I understood? -Of course, sir.
Hmm.
-Good night, sir! -All right.
By the books, no mistakes.
-Hey. -Yeah.
A warrant would just be embarrassing.
Says he found it on some website. It's a non-starter.
Hmm.
Though there really is something fishy going on with that guy.
-I mean, I've got nothing at the moment. -Hmm. Yeah, it's fine.
-Let's send him back for the time being. -It's okay. Thank you for your help.
-We'll get going. -Bye.
-Hmm. Wait, wait, wait. -What?
Did you… want this to happen?
Consider this payback for that favor I owe you.
This may not be an official investigation, but the captain gave approval,
so all you need to do is sit tight.
All right?
I'll call later. You did great today, huh?
-Hmm? -Well, thank you, sir.
-I'm goin' home. -Good night, sir.
Aren't you hungry? You didn't eat the jjajangmyeon.
It got all mushy and soggy.
Let's go eat, then. It'll be my treat.
I'm not hungry.
Listen, if you get caught hacking into the prosecution's intranet again,
I'll really have to have you detained, huh?
I told you back at my place, I didn't hack--
Don't jerk me around, you moron.
If you're gonna say something, just say it.
What do you think the difference is between coincidence and fate?
Hmm? I mean, think about it.
There are all these murders happening in Daejeon,
but not a single thing connects them.
I mean, no one can be sure that there's no connection.
But anyway, that's not on me. That's your job.
I'm just frustrated, that's all.
We still don't have any leads.
Do you still play superhero these days?
No, I'm not a kid anymore. I don't do that stuff. No way.
You can do whatever you like, but you gotta be more careful.
And call me right away if something comes up.
-For your own good. -I want to cooperate with you.
I want to catch bad guys too.
You just took things way too far this time, all right?
I'm serious.
I'm getting something tasty. Sure you're not eating?
Hmm.
Oh God.
Hey. I wasn't in jail. What's with the tofu?
I don't know. I saw it on TV.
-We gotta be careful. I'm stressed out. -Why?
This cop's totally been harassing me.
If you're on his radar, he's gonna find you. No matter what.
So, then, what do we do?
Excuse me.
I'm with the police.
Let me ask you something.
You frequently deliver to 307, right?
-Hmm. -Where did you just deliver to?
Unit 307.
Unit 307?
JUNGHWARU QUICK DELIVERY
Is this guy an accomplice, do you think?
He seemed like a run-of-the-mill nerd.
That's what I thought at first.
But there's more to him than you'd think.
Meticulous little piece of shit.
What did he do?
A long time ago,
there was this bastard that I knew I had to catch.
-He was a murderer too. -Hmm.
And the kid
looked after that murderer.
But I don't know if he's related to this case or not. I'm just not sure.
But we'll see.
The bastard you just mentioned.
Was it that cop?
Why do you wanna catch this guy so badly?
Christ, we're not on a picnic, man. Huh?
So many questions.
So? Did you ask him?
Yeah. He's from Junghwaru. An extra large jjajangmyeon to unit 307.
But he's never seen the guy's face well. He's always wearing his helmet.
-He's always wearing his helmet? -Yeah, why?
Awesome, thank you!
What? What is it?
-What's going on? -Get that delivery guy.
-What? -Sir?
-Now, quickly. -Sir, wait. What are you doing?
What is it?
What? What's going on?
What's going on?
Hey, what on earth are you doing?
-Hey… -I knew you'd do this again.
Did you choose the victims for him too?
Choose what victims?
Man, at least just tell me what's going on.
He can't expect us to chase some guy down.
I didn't see him at first, but that has to be him, right?
-On the right. -I think so.
-It is. -Speed up. Get closer.
-It's the one with "Junghwaru" on it. -Junghwaru?
Junghwaru, Junghwaru…
All right, so there's two of them. I can't tell which is which.
-Uh… -That one. That one.
-Which one? -License 32561. 3256--
That one? Way up front? Are you sure?
Yeah.
I'll go catch him.
Scuse me!
Hold on! Junghwaru!
Hey!
Here we go. One, two, three.
Wait, no. This is crazy heavy.
Hey, Junghwaru.
Call Lee Tang right now.
Who's Lee Tang? I don't know him.
-Oh, you don't know who he is? Huh? -That's right.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Don't fucking play dumb, you stupid little shit.
Now tell me how you hid the evidence.
Hid the evidence?
-Do you have proof that I-- -Answer me, asshole.
This is what you do, pick targets based on a guess, with no evidence.
You miss the culprit every time. That's why I--
-This is how you missed the guy last time! -What did you just say, asshole?
-Who did I miss? -Excessive force! Excessive force!
Excessive force?
How is this excessive, huh?
Hey, is it excessive force when you're resisting arrest?
Is it?
Answer me, smart-ass. You use fancy words and think you can get away with this?
Huh? Hey.
Spill it, you son of a bitch.
Sir.
-I caught him. -Bring him here.
-I can't be here right now. -Hold on.
-My boss'll be pissed. -Who's this?
The Junghwaru delivery guy.
-This isn't the guy I told you to catch! -Yong-jae.
-I didn't do anything! -He's not?
-God, this sucks. -Who is this guy?
-Yes, sir. -Is Nan-gam with you? Put him on.
-The captain wants to talk to you. -Look--
-Okay, so am I free to go? -Hold on, hold on.
-Moron. -Jang Nan-gam!
-Yes, sir. -Oh, there he is.
-Why haven't you answered my calls? -I'm a little busy.
-Can I call you later? -No. This can't wait.
It's all over the internet, you damn punk!
-What are you doing at Roh Bin's place? -What's all over the internet?
Video of you beating him.
-It's everywhere, you idiot! -Huh?
-You can't barge in and rough him up! -Open up!
-We're getting calls about a cop-- -I'll call you back.
You hear that, too, right?
I think they're in there.
We're here about the report!
I'll try and get them to open up. You call the office.
This is the police.
Open the door.
If you don't, we will open it by force.
Open up right now!
Open this door now!
4 MONTHS AGO
"Dear Mom and Dad,
I was born into this world,
but I couldn't figure out what purpose I could serve while I'm here,
so I've just been an aimless loser."
"But I'm going on a journey…
to find a way to right my wrongs."
"I'm
going to Canada."
"Please forgive me
for not saying goodbye."
BALANCE: 358,000 WON
It's been revealed that Lee and Kang,
high-school students who were murdered in Dunsan-dong on the 3rd,
turned out to be perpetrators of violence in their school, shocking the public.
They sexually assaulted a girl in middle school…
"I just don't think I can bring myself to stay
and pretend that everything's normal."
"That's why."
What are you doing?
"I know that I'll make new friends there."
"I'll work hard."
"And then I'll come back
as a better person, as someone decent."
"Don't worry about me."
NO SEARCH RESULTS FOR "ONLYFORHEROES"
TODAY, WE'LL LEARN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T APPEAR FOR AN ATTENDANCE REQUEST
THE COMPUTER WILL SHUT OFF SOON
"I'll start over from scratch."
There are no more trains in service today.
Any passengers on the platform or in the waiting area,
please exit the station and use another transit service.
-Thank you for your understanding. -Um, I'm Onlyforheroes.
I'm sorry for the wait.
I'm from Daejeon. And I really think that I can help you out, Mr. Tang.
I promise I'm not a weirdo.
-I came all this way because I wanna help. -This is the final stop. Please get off.
Please step out. This train is not in service.
REMAINING DISTANCE: 120 KM
This is an accident-prone area.
Please be careful.
I've been searching for you for a long time, Mr. Lee.
You see, there's this thing called "fate."
Some people are meant to cross paths.
You know, I think we were destined to meet.
If we were to work together,
we could change the world.
What is it that you do?
-I'm a sidekick. -What?
Batman and Robin. Sherlock and Watson. Goku and Krillin.
Lee Tang and Roh Bin.
That's my name. I even had it legally changed.
Huh.
Is this some kinda sick joke?
Yeo Bu-il, Seon Yeo-ok,
and, uh, Kang Jae-jun and Lee Jin-seong.
I believe you've met them.
Uh, how did you get this?
I told you. I've been hard at work looking for you.
I was baffled too. Someone I was looking for suddenly appearing before my eyes?
But I had to make extra sure. It took me a while.
TOMORROW, 12. HOUSE WITH BLUE DOORS BY THE YONGUN INTERSECTION
You only suspected you have special powers, but you were never fully sure?
Take a look at this.
What do you think these cases have in common?
One, all the victims were pieces of shit.
Two, you didn't get rid of any evidence after, but it did just disappear, right?
The evidence…
What could all of this mean?
The way I see it, some higher power is telling you to continue your work.
For me, that's the only explanation.
It's unreal. Doesn't make sense.
What do you want from me?
To serve justice with you.
-Huh? -Let's work together, Mr. Lee.
I'll give you anything that you want.
I have 50 million won. It's my life savings.
If you need any money, I'll give it to you.
And you said you wanted to visit the Rocky Mountains someday, didn't you?
I can send you there if you want.
So I'm asking you, please, can we just give it a try?
I… I'm serious.
No, no…
Uh, I…
You did nothing wrong, Mr. Lee.
All you did was clean up human garbage.
Cleaning up isn't a crime, so there's no need for you to run.
That's all I'm trying to tell you.
If you decide to work with me,
I'll make it so you don't have to run anymore.
Want some breakfast?
So, in simple terms,
your powers work like this, okay?
When you see a piece of trash,
you want to throw it away.
And of course, what you do is you trash the trash, obviously.
Hey! That man over there just littered!
Wait, hold on.
So, what? I just start stabbing people on the subway?
And you're saying they'll all have deserved to die?
And that the evidence will disappear? That makes no sense.
Look, have you ever
felt an urge?
I mean, have you gotten a sign to do it?
No.
That's perfect.
That's also part of your powers, then.
In order to throw away trash, you need to have a trash can.
Bearing all that in mind, I think we were destined to meet.
Of course, the decision is up to you.
Hey.
Sleep over.
-By the way, hyung. -Yeah?
You said you had two partners before me.
Where are they right now?
You've already seen
one of them already.
And the one before him…
I hope we never have to see him again.
Who… who is that?
There's some stuff behind the shelf.
Take what you want from there.
PERSONAL DETAILS YEO BU-IL
I'm sorry.
Are you okay, sir?
Ah, it was nothing.
He should apologize for bumping into you.
Nah, it's fine…
For a prosecutor, you're very forgiving.
Ah. Going to Noeun-dong?
This is my car. Come on. Let's go.
All I've ever done is work.
It's not a crime, please.
I have a family.
My daughter, she started middle school.
What else was I supposed to do? Huh?
Look, please, just tell me what I did wrong.
Say it. Tell me what I did.
-Please. -Yeah, I know.
-Why do I even want to kill you? -Wait.
Wait. What do you mean?
What crime could you have done?
-What? -To have brought us both here tonight?
How am I even supposed to know?
You don't know a single thing about my life.
I think he might tell us.
What?
Okay.
This is why I can't ever save up any money.
Okay.
We're in.
Hmm…
Hey.
Hey!
-Hey, you've got curly hair. -Uh, sir! Excuse me!
Please! I can explain!
-Okay? -Hey.
-You're too pretty to be crying like this. -I can explain!
-Let's talk about this rationally! -Stop struggling.
Okay? Sir!
-Good job. -Please, sir!
-Stay still. Shut up. -I can explain!
-Stop crying, you bitch! -Fuck! Hey. Sir! Sir!
It… it's not what it looks like!
You… you're doing this for money, aren't you?
I can give you money! I will! Okay? I will pay you.
I will. Wait. Wait, wait!
I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!
Why don't we go home?
Home?
Look, Roh Bin, I wanna live on my own.
One, two. Good.
Ah, you're back again? Ready to work out?
Good, great!
Really lean into it, okay?
All right! One, two! There you go!
HOW IS THIS UNJUSTIFIED WHEN YOU'RE RESISTING ARREST?
God damn.
Hey, I'm back.
Scuse me.
Boss, are we behind on deliveries?
Shit. I said we need more guys.
Can I ask you somethin'?
Me?
Yeah.
SONG CHON NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
You know this man, that right?
Oh, yeah.
It's Tang, sure.
Huh.
-Why-- -Where'd he go?
It's all right.
Just wanna talk to him.
