Twenty year old female found dead in her Bangbae-dong home
Bangbae-dong murder incident
In every story there is a start and an end.
How would my story be?
A story that's started but hasn't ended, and is paused in place.
But, there is someone who is starting to tell me the story again,
and I'm about to reply to this unknown person's request.
And so my story, which was paused in place, begins again.
You're saying that no DNA or trace evidence came out, right?
Yes, that's what it says.
The suspect's particulars aren't easy...
There is a report of a dead woman's body found in Mapo Dowha-dong.
The corpse is similar to that of the Bangbae-dong case.
Let's go.
The body's condition is too different from Bangbae-dong's to call this a serial.
The state the corpse was found in was similar, so we have to at least check.
There is a good chance that it's serial.
The Bangbae-dong case wasn't about simple revenge but was rather unpredictable.
There's no reason that there couldn't be a second or third occurrence.
There's no reason for it not to be either.
Oh, and didn't they say that the new team leader would be coming today?
He may come directly here.
They told the team to get ready, but I told them we were headed out to the crime scene.
You're working hard.
Maybe he'll come straight here.
As if he would really.
Hey, who's there?
- Is that the team leader? - I'm not sure.
It's that fellow.
Are you perhaps Team Leader Kang Eun Hyeok?
You all came knowing that this case has similarities to Bangbae-dong case, right?
- Yes we did, but...- It is the same perpetrator.
It also means that it will soon be hard to find a DNA, trace
evidence, eyewitnesses, CCTV, physical evidence, etc.
We haven't gotten the results from forensics yet?
One special thing is that there's no perpetrator's
signature, like the one in Bangbae-dong.
Signature? But there wasn't anything of that type.
Check to see if the crime scene was contaminated
or if the evidence was collected by forensics.
There will be one for sure.
Have the suspects been picked out? Can I take a look at the list of suspects?
Like I said before, there's neither solid evidence nor witnesses, so--
Because there isn't any, there's no suspect list either.
Yes.
The victim in Bangbae-dong and the victim now at the
scene here must either have been in the vicinity of
someone who owns a yacht, has a captain's license or at least knew someone who does.
The perpetrator must be intelligent, leaving
a bold signature in a spotless crime scene.
While he is an exhibitionist, he thinks he is someone
whose own power is beyond the government's power.
It's not a simple delusion, but there's a good
possibility that he actually has some power.
Either institutional or a company...
I have waited crazily for so long,
and finally Lee Hyeon, this man, is in front of me.

Do you have any questions?
Where did the yacht information come from?
And the signature too.
I'm sure those weren't mentioned in the Bangbae-dong case file.
It's that we...
Excuse me! Could you-
What is it?
Is there something on the rooftop?
You're working hard.
Wow. So we get to say our first greetings here.
I am the leader of team 1, Leader Kang Eun Hyeok.
Team Leader?
So who's this guy?
Oh, what the?
He's not here.
Also not here.
He escaped.
Excuse me!
- What is this situation?- What was he doing?
It seems certain he's not the team leader.
- So I said that I am the team leader.- Team leader, my ass!
Do you think he's... the criminal?
There's no way. Damn it...
Hey! We don't know about this guy either. Check his identity.
Yes.
May I have your ID please?
Hey you!
Do you think I'll let you go this easily?
Hey!
- Did you see that?- I saw it.
Now we have to go chase a taxi.
Aigoo, do we have to run after him?
Well? Should we run? We should. We should run.
Can you slow down a bit?
I don't think it will be a nuisance on the road even if you slowed down a bit.
Please go a bit slower.
Can you speed up a bit?
Can you lower the speed again?
Hey!
Stop! Stop!
Hey you! Sir!
Hey, you are that Lee Hyeon, right?
Stop right there! Stop there!
Stop! Stop it, I say.
Hey you!
Who are you?
How do you know me?
It's been twenty years.
It's been 20 years that I have known this guy.
No. Twenty years is actually the time I have stalked this guy..
But then this guy not only does not remember
me but he does not even know I exist.
I am not sure... How would I know you?
Is it you?
What?
I'm sorry. But if you run away again, I won't have any strength.
Because of an email?
To wrap it up,
you received the Bangbae-dong case file in an e-mail,
you looked up the IP address and found that it was from the National Police.
For a moment, I should like to have believed you sent it, but I don't think so.
Anyway, thinking that the National Police need my help,
I got on the plane to get here as fast as possible.
I'm rather taken aback because you are saying that is not the case.
Does that make sense? Then why does that sort of person run away from the scene?
I only left because I finished what I needed to say.
There's no point in talking any further with people
who can't understand the basics of what's going on.
- Even if I say something, it doesn't seem like you understand. - What?
This guy, really...
How did you get into the crime scene?
More than that, how do you know so much about the
Bangbae-dong murder case after just looking at pictures?
Today's Dohwa-dong crime scene, too. You were there only five or ten minutes, but
did you look around the entire scene in that short of a time? How did you do that?
People say that a person has an ability to
process information within sixteen feet, right?
That limit is only the average.
Of course, there are people who have abilities above that,
and of course, there must be people who are below the average as well.
Oh, so it's that.
Hey! He's telling us that we're below the average right now!
But, you know how to read the space between the lines.
You get something?
I confirmed his identity and it's all true. His American name is David Lee.
It's correct that he is a John Jay College Criminal
Justice Associate Professor from New York.
Even the time he arrived in the country is correct.
He was probably on the plane during the time of the crime.
In conclusion, he's not the culprit.
Now, what about the evidence to keep me here?
Let's say accessing the crime scene is obstruction of official business.
No chance of flight with solid identity.
I don't think you can detain me.
- But for you to leave like this...- Emergency
arrest under duress and without a reason.
On top of that, because of the handcuffs, I got scratches on my wrist.
Should I sue?
That's why I said I was sorry before I put the handcuffs on you.
You must not remember.
How did you find out about the Dohwa-dong crime scene location?
Unless you intercepted police communication or
hacked into our system, you would have not known.
The primary crime scene in Bangbae-dong told me.
But, to me you are a witness, so I have to at least understand the crime scene.
His identity and his proof of residence are solid. I guarantee it.
But... Planning Manager is guaranteeing it.
Our first greeting was kind of weird, right?
Let's forget everything that happened earlier and
start off nicely again with formal greetings.
From now on, I'm the new leader that will lead the special investigation team.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd be bored on your way out, so, I
am accompanying you as a token of my apology
Just get simply to the point. What more are you curious about?
It was a lie when you said you went to the crime scene
thinking that the police had requested your help in error.
I think you have a different reason. Right?
What if you're right?
Tell me the reason you went to the crime scene--
No, the real reason why you came to Korea.
If you tell me how you know who I am.
Oh, so then you'll tell me why.
After hearing it, I might consider telling you why.
Look. You do have a different reason.
Are you curious?
Of course, I'm curious.
You must be curious too.
Looking at you, it does seem like I've seen you somewhere.
Really?
As I expected, I don't know.
You said something about effective brain processing but your memory must be bad.
Either you didn't have anything special enough for me to remember or
there was no reason for me to remember you, no?
I said you still are a witness.
Let's not leave the country without notice!
Tell me the reason you went to the crime scene—
No, the real reason why you came to Korea.
My real reason?
It started with an email.

This.
This a part of my memory that I buried.
What was it again?
It's a drawing from my childhood, around the
time I lost my father and younger brother.
This is an invitation someone has sent to me.
Some business came up in Korea.
I need you to book me the earliest flight
possible and set up an appointment with the dean.

Bangbae-dong crime scene pictures are signals and clues.

And is this a coordinate?
THE COORDINATE INDICATED WAS HERE: Another murder crime scene.
Who might it be?
Who might be sending me these kinds of messages?
Would that person and
that kid
be alive?
That's why I returned to this place.
I have a task to fulfill and someone to find.
Hurry and eat. You should eat.
Hurry. Good. That's right.
The place where I grew up, the place in my memory.
The place of my critical period and where my soul was made.
Here, my story began again.
Every child's story began with his parents
1996
Hyeon. Lee Hyeon.
What are you doing here? There are so many things from the
move we have to put away that it's chaotic, but you're out here alone being idle?
From what I know, you're the best at being idle.
Hyung! I don't see my sketchbook! My crayons either!
- Alright. I'll find it.- Hurry, hurry, hurry!
When I found it, it was dead.
- Stay well-behaved.- Would you open the window for me?
What?
- I am sensitive to smell. - So what?
I think it'll be better if you change your skin c product.
What did you say?
Because the air wasn't too good.
-This bastard! - I'm feeling much better.
I'll deal with him.
My daily routine was checking my mother's mood.
I guess I'll be able to sleep tonight without any worries.
Ah. Today, it's too late.
On the days I was beaten, I counted numbers.
Once, twice, three times.
Four times, five times, six times.
On the days Grandpa drank alcohol...
This is last week's.
I shared a room with my uncle.
-This was a frightening nightmare last week.
But you have no grandfather, uncle, or mom.
Ah, is that so?
There will be a time that comes when you tell me your real story.
I don't know what you're expecting, but I don't have much of a story to tell.
Why do people hurt others?
But then again, why can't people hurt others?
As a very normal child, that was what I was curious about.

Superintendent Lee? You are Chief Superintendent Lee Joong Min, right?
Hello, I saw your lecture last semester and I even said hello to you.
- Ah, yes. Is that so?- Yes, yes.
I did hear that you moved to this jurisdiction,
so I figured that I would meet you sometime.
Then, I'll see you some time in the future.
Ah, yes. Then work well.
Oh, by any chance, do you raise a dog?
There were some reports on dog theft and cruelty lately.
It's obvious they are being done by dog traders. Please be careful. Bye.
Hyeon...
Did you have a nightmare?
Oh.
I must have taken a cat nap.
That's because you always stay up during the night.
- Are these the people you're researching? - Uh, yeah.
They look normal, all of them.
But they're not, right? They are not normal people.
Evil is hidden inside normal people.
At times the most cruel people can wear the face of an angel.
That's why you should always be cautious about strangers, okay?
- Also...- Also?
Dad wishes you would be more like a kid, like others your age.
Dad! Let's go to the amusement park this weekend.
I'm not going to wash and put clothes on Min
and take him to kindergarten and back anymore.
I'm not doing that and not doing any household chores either.
I'll forget to pay the utility bills all the time
and the gas, water, electricity will all get cut off.
And I won't take care of your coffee or your schedules anymore.
I'm going to be stupid and just play with robots.
Wow. This coffee is killer. My child is a total barista! A barista!
Time's up. You have to leave now, Dad.
- That's right, that's right.- Your jacket's here.
Oh, the jacket.
Your bag?
The bag, the bag. That's right. I would be in trouble without this. Son,
thank you. Hm? Thank you!
- Dad.- Did I forget something else?
Why do people hurt others?
Why do people hurt others?- But before that,
why can't people hurt others?
Why can't they hurt others?
As a very normal child, that was what I was curious about.

(THE PRESENT)
When I volunteered to join Munchung special team to investigate crime,
everyone tried to stop me.
After I got into the police by means of the special
qualification exam, I was on an elite path,
but I turned down the intelligence and security division
and came to the investigation division. Really,
I surprised everyone around me.
But I, more than physical comfort...
How did you know about the Dowha-dong's crime scene earlier?
The primary crime scene in Banbae-dong told me.
What did the crime scene tell him and how?
This is how I came to meet you all,
although we started out meeting with a bit of misunderstanding.
But we can unite again...
One special thing is that there's no perpetrator's
signature like the one in Bangbae-dong.
Signature? But there wasn't anything of that type.
Check to see if the crime scene was contaminated
or if the evidence was collected by forensics.
There will be one for sure.
Signature...
My experience in investigating crime scenes is rather limited.
However, with my leadership and my ability to quickly
adapt, this special investigation unit, I will...
You heard that a normal person has the ability to
process information within sixteen feet, right?
That limit is only the average.
Of course, there are people who have abilities above that,
and of course, there must be people who are below the average as well.
This impudent jerk!
With this hot heart and cool head
- and restless feet.- What did you come to find?
-You.- With you all!
I'll be with you all.
Now, shall we start the discussion about the case?
Oh, yes. About the person who was at the crime scene earlier.
Is he...
Who was he?
I'll take your reports.
Found it.
So...
According to him, the perpetrator of the Bangbae-dong
case and the Dowha-dong case are the same.
There is a good possibility that the perpetrator used a yacht.
It's all bullshit.
He's not a fortune teller or anything. What does he know?
He sneaked in the crime scene and left quietly like a mouse.
I heard he is a professor teaching criminology in America.
- He is also a consultant for the police in America. - Do you believe that?
I confirmed it and it's true.
His education and work experience credentials are all forgeries.
Then, why would we have just released such a fraudulent person?
We should have turned him over to intellectual crime investigation team.
You just dissed me, didn't you? Whose side are you on?
- Are you jealous? -No, you rascal.
You all must not read much.
I...
I am crazy for reading.
Ah, then you would know.
I remembered later on, but that guy from earlier wrote a book too.
A criminology book.
Yes, it must have sold a lot for one in that field.
Don't you know it, Team Leader?
Should we do it like this?
He seems to have some information or theory on the case.
Let's listen to his opinion once.
Put our pride aside and make a request for his cooperation.
- I agree! - How can we let that suspicious rat on the team?
Besides, he is not the type to cooperate.
I'll get his cooperation.
If you request it, he'll definitely refuse. You even cuffed him!
He said he may sue you for the scratches on his wrists, too.
Don't worry. I'll do it.
He may be waiting for us to make an official request for assistance.
He did voluntarily come to the crime scene from America.
What if he still says no?
Well, then... I'll just use my looks then.
Their eyes are rotten.
Let's see.
Yes?
So it wasn't a fake phone number. -This is faster than I expected.
- What is? - Isn't the call a request for cooperation in the investigation?
Well, more than cooperation, it's—
Let's hang up. I am busy.
I didn't exactly say it is not a request.
Have you found anything significant?
- At this time— - There isn't anything.
If you had, you would not be asking for my cooperation on the investigation.
Don't be so dismissive and let's meet for now,
- and we can talk about the details— - I am not interested
Why?
Just because.
- Don't be like that—- Don't be like that?
Let's do it like this.
Then ask me earnestly. I might change my mind then.
I am asking for your cooperation, Professor! Happy?
No, I still won't.
Huh, this... Professor Lee?
The amount of dust is very different.
What?
Dust is what?
You're haven't trespassed into another crime scene, right?
I think it's the opposite. I think someone trespassed into my house, you see.
Anyway, please think it over again.
I'm busy so (THAT'S IT FOR ME).
Oh, look at this... He is a big jerk!
No... This guy... Yes.
This jerk. Try trespassing one more time and I'll catch you...
A visitor.
My father's memo book was always here.
Lee Joon Yeong Interview
The memo book was gone, but
Lee Joon Yeong had appeared instead.
(FLASHBACK TO LEE HYEON'S CHILDHOOD)
Are you feeling sick?
It's not that.
If it's not that, then...
Do you have something to cause you a headache? Like me?
It's not exactly a problem..
Why? Is there something going on?
Uh... I'm getting a divorce.
There's no way to be a good wife while working.
At this rate, you might become our country's
first female police commissioner.
Let's talk about that later. Now it's your turn. Do you have something to say?
It's nothing much.
Today is Lee Joon Yeong's trial.
I want to do the interview at the central office. Would you prepare the site for me?

4,758 plus 472,908 is?
18,824,514 When is my dad coming?
Correct!
If someone is good with an abacus, they can get the numbers right.
Stop overreacting.
In movies, they count things like this. Then you're a real genius.
How many?
571.
Hey. Prove that this is 571.
- Count them. - How do I count-
You can't lie. This is the police station.
You'll know if you count them.
Come on.
Yeah, count them. You scattered them so you have to count.
Where are you going, Detective Kim? Sit down.
Count with me.
It's 571.
Ten at a time. Two, three, four.
Ten. Two.
Let's take a break before we continue.
Is Professor Lee Joong Min not here?
By chance, are you Professor Lee's son?
So you are.
Your dad will be right back, so would you like to wait inside?
I know who you are, Ahjusshi.
I saw the photo that my dad has of you before.
Am I scary?
You're not scary, but I'm curious.
What are you curious about?
How did you become this kind of person?
Me? What kind of a person am I?
Someone different from others?
Ducklings think that their mom is the first person they see after they're born.
They think that until they die. Do you know why?
Your head, so your brain
already set it like that.
You're smart. That's right.
All animals have what's referred to as a critical period,
the time when their brains grow and are becoming fully developed.
The things they see, hear, know, and feel during that time frame don't change easily.
For ducks, that time period is a few hours.
Within a few hours, their entire brain is fully developed.
For a monkey, it's about one to two years.
How about a human? How many years is it for a human?
Ten two twelve years. Just around your age.
That's the critical period for humans,
and I call that the time when the soul is made.
How was your critical period, Ahjusshi?
More than me, how is your critical period?
From what I think, you're someone different from others too.
Isn't it hard? Do people understand you?
Does your father trust you?
I'm curious
as to what kind of adult you'll become. I want to see.
Where is Hyeon?
Hyeon?
He seems to be really something, Sunbae.
A couple of adults tried to tease one boy, but it backfired on them.
They were putting on a show trying to count the match
sticks and then forgetting what the count was.
They're probably still counting them.
What are you talking about?
Is Hyeon here?
Didn't you see him?
Earlier, he said he had something to give you.
Hyeon, should I tell you a secret between the two of us?
Dad.
Let's go.
Bye. Let's meet again, as promised.
What's going on?
By any chance, Hyeon, did you meet Lee Joon Yeong?
Did he?
Please take care of him.
Want to go out with me?
Are you not hungry? Isn't there anything you want to eat?
No.
Alright. Then let's go outside and get some air.
Let's go.
Hey, hey! You were right!
You were right about the 571!
Hey, are you really a genius?
- I told you he was a genius! - Wow. How did he get that right?
From now on, there's no more reason for us to see each other.
Today was the last session.
Are you really that worried about Hyeon?
Always worrying about something, being scared..
You were always curious about my childhood even over your research goals.
It was because of Hyeon that you were worried.
Don't assume things recklessly.
You're right, Professor.
I knew when I saw him.
Hyeon seems very similar to me when I was young.
Don't let my son's name come out of your mouth.
He's a smart child.
So?
So what?
So?
I told him what I know.
He's smart and different.
We were able to have a very good conversation.
So?
You made a promise or some crap of that sort?
How dare you, with my son...?
What promise did you make?
It's our promise,
so it's none of your business, Professor.
I know what you're thinking, Professor.
And those thoughts are correct.
Your thoughts about your son,
your doubts.
I don't have those thoughts.
I didn't say what thoughts those were, though.
"Won't he become a monster like me?"
I didn't mention that those were your thoughts.
You bastard!
During the interview with Lee Joon Yeong,
there was one thing that I learned.
As I was observing him,
he, too, was observing me.
He noticed my fear
and planted doubts there.
This is yours, right?
Did you draw these, or
did Hyung draw these?
Did your older brother draw these for you?
Hyung drew them.
Don't tell Hyung that I told you.
Is Hyung scary?
But don't trust Hyung, Dad.
Bedwetting, arson and cruelty to animals.
A psychopath always
has this triad of symptoms as a child.
Bedwetting is common to kids,
and losing the mother like that
could bring memory loss and separation anxiety.
It was a temporary symptom.
You...
There are things you don't know.
Did you find any unusual symptom?
What is it?
As a result,
in the end, did I lose to the doubt Lee Joon Yeong planted in me?
I think my son
is a monster.
I think my son is a monster.
Timing and Subtitles by The Profilers @ viki
I know what you're thinking, Professor,
and those thoughts are correct.
Your thoughts about your son.
Your doubts.
"Will he become a monster like him?"
I will get out of here
and meet your son. See you soon.
Dad...
Dad will...
make sure to protect you.
Dad, did you call?
Hyeon, sit down here.
From now on,
you're going to live here.
People think you've gone to study abroad.
People now think
you're not at home, in Korea.
The only solution I could think of was this
at the moment.
I have to protect you from the world,
and protect the world from you—
Um...
Alright. Regarding your studies, do them with me.
You're going to start over, with Dad.
How the world is and how normal people live their lives,
we're going to slowly find out about those.
Does your dad trust you?
There are children who were pretty from birth.
There are children for whom someone said, "How pretty, so pretty,"
and so the children were pretty.
There are children who were stupid from birth,
and those that turned stupid because someone
told them, "You're stupid, so stupid."
And also,
there are those who are monsters from birth.
Someone saw them as monsters,
called them monsters,
so they become monsters.
What does your father call you?
How does he perceive you?
♫ Protecting the disappearing you ♫
♫ Remember me if it gets tough ♫
I Remember You~Preview~
That fellow appeared.
I can't even express that jerk's rudeness.
So this is when you use the saying that your head is just a decoration.
Tell me more about that arrogant jerk next time.
Contact me when your blood pressure drops.
I don't know if he's a friend or an enemy, so what can I do?
The only thing I know for sure is this one thing;
that he is one of the only connecting links.
By the time you hear this, I'll be there to keep my promise to you.
I'll probably be by your side already.
