EUNHASU SUPERMARKET
WINTER OF 2006
POLICE OFFICER ENTRANCE EXAM
That's 2,000 won, please.
The power is out again, and my mom's not even here.
Where's the lighter?
Excuse me.
The last time we had a blackout,
the fruit store across the street was robbed.
But they haven't caught who did it yet.
Never mind. Good night.
What is he doing? Why is he still here?
EUNHASU SUPERMARKET
You hit on me first!
When I told my friends about it,
they said you must've been interested in me.
SPRING OF 2008
I did you a big favor by telling you I liked you first.
How dare you play hard to get?
I hate stuff like that.
Get up. It's late.
Go home.
Why do you care whether I go home or sleep out here?
Who do you think you are?
Why do you care where I am?
Why do you call me?
When you don't go home, your mom gets anxious and comes to me.
Give me a piggyback.
- What? - I'm too exhausted to walk.
Carry me home.
Mister, just go on your way.
You're not supposed to talk to a woman you're not interested in.
Have it your way.
You have feelings for me.
I know it. I can see it.
I can tell.
What do you know?
What do you know about me?
Do you want me to tell you?
About who I really am?
We found this in the warehouse back there.
We were wondering if it was yours.
Yes?
Did you call a cab?
No. I didn't call one.
Then what is the taxi doing here right in front of my place?
But I needed one.
Maybe I should go ask.
Get in.
Is that your watch?
Detective Cha?
Yes?
The watch. Should I hand it over to forensics?
SWEET PEANUT
It's nice to see you. I really wanted to meet you.
How have you been hiding so well?
What do you want?
Jung Mi-suk.
Jung Mi-suk? I'm sure I've heard of the name before.
Jung Mi-suk?
- Isn't that the woman? - Who?
The woman whose body wasn't found.
Gosh, I'm scared to even mention the name.
That's right. The last victim Do Min-seok killed.
Hey, stay still, will you?
I know neither you nor Jung Mi-suk.
Oh, dear. You don't know.
I feel so bad, then. I guess Nam Sun-gil got killed for nothing.
Take it or decline it.
- Yes? - I found out who Jung Mi-suk is.
She's Do Min-seok's last victim.
What?
Don't you get it? He's the victim's husband.
Where are you now?
- I'm now… - Where are you?
None of your business. I'm hanging up.
Your kid must've grown a lot. Is it a girl or a boy?
You're on the run after committing murder,
but you got married and have a kid now? How impressive.
I have nothing to do with what Do Min-seok did.
Of course, you say that.
But,
just tell me if you want any kind of compensation.
Who knows?
We might find common ground.
Gosh, what's going on?
This is mine.
I've been looking for it. I guess I dropped it in the warehouse.
Thank you.
You're welcome. I'll get going, then.
A taxi driver is assaulting a passenger.
in front of a bed and breakfast near a fishing site. Please send backup.
Wiretapping? The police wiretapped by a criminal?
Why don't you go ask him to catch criminals, then?
This is humiliating.
Calm down. We need to catch Park Gyeong-chun first.
- What about the press? - We'll have to deal with them.
Darn. Choi Jae-seop, that idiot.
- Hey, Choi Jae-seop. - Sir.
Hey!
- What are you doing, sir? - I'll kill Jae-seop and go to hell today.
I've solved countless cases until now.
You can't be like this when I made one single mistake.
What? A mistake? A cop can't afford to make any mistake.
- Let go of me! - That's enough, Mr. Yoon.
Okay, I'll stop. Just let go of me.
Hey. Shouldn't you be investigating? Just get back to work.
Come here.
My goodness.
How could you disgrace the police like that?
I have sensitive hair. Let go of it.
How could a cop be fooled by a criminal like that?
- Let go until I count to three. - Go ahead.
- One, two, three. - Two, three.
Gosh, stop it.
- How dare you pull your boss' hair? - This is self-defense.
- That's excessive self-defense, you idiot. - Please stop.
- How dare you… - Stop it.
- My gosh. - Let go of it.
I told you to stop, you damn cops!
We have to catch Park Gyeong-chun tonight.
We're going to be slated by everyone tomorrow morning.
We should at least catch the culprit before the briefing if we're to save face.
So what's your plan?
Park Gyeong-chun drives a taxi.
I've contacted the tachograph manufacturer.
And I already got Park Gyeong-chun's call history and credit card statements.
Team Five is looking into his family and financial status now.
Listen. We must catch him before anyone else does.
If you let other stations find him first,
or fail to catch him by the morning,
I'll shave all of your heads starting with you, okay?
And about the wiretapping, make sure to keep your mouths shut.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Get on it now! I can't stand the sight of you.
- Hey, let's go. - My gosh.
- Damn it. - Let's go.
Where are you now?
We got a report about a taxi driver who kidnapped a passenger,
so we're on our way.
We will start tracking down Park Gyeong-chun's taxi soon.
Be on standby so you can move out right away.
Yes, sir.
Do Hyeon-su!
Well, Ji-won.
About the watch you got from the police officer.
What?
Since when did you carry around a spare watch?
The watch strap came off, so I was going to have it repaired.
But I forgot it was in my pocket.
I've never seen it before, though.
When did you buy it? It looked pretty expensive.
It's my husband's.
I was going to take it to a repair shop on my way to work.
You just said it was yours.
What belongs to my husband is also mine.
Why do you even care about something so trivial? We have no time for this.
Well, okay but…
Will you just let it go?
Why? What's wrong?
What's the big deal about the watch?
No, that's not what I was going to say.
You're not wearing your seat belt. That's what I was trying to tell you.
You didn't even try to listen.
Gosh, not again.
Just mind your own head. It's done.
Gosh, whatever.
Doctor, I'm not the Kim Moo-jin you used to know.
The head you just put stitches into
is not the same head that got hurt from falling off a cultivator.
I got hurt this time while chasing after a murderer. You should know that.
He's been searching all over the neighborhood for his wife's body.
He ended up killing someone?
It's his mind that's sick.
Anyway, I should get back to work.
I hope they catch Do Hyeon-su soon.
What does he have to do with this?
They need to catch Do Hyeon-su to find the body.
Why?
You're so clueless.
He must know where the body is
because he went around killing people with his dad.
Doctor, this is called witch-hunting.
The police concluded a long time ago that Do Min-seok acted alone.
Do Hyeon-su is not a serial killer. He's just a killer.
He did it with his dad. What are you talking about?
Guilt by association isn't trendy anymore, Doctor.
How can you be so ignorant when you're a reporter?
Gosh, you're educated enough. You shouldn't mislead people like that.
Do you really not know?
Know what?
That…
Gosh, this is frustrating.
I'm the one who's frustrated.
What is it that I don't know?
Was it this guy?
Yes, it was him.
He beat up my customer and dragged him away.
I was so terrified.
Yes, Captain. It was Park Gyeong-chun.
Do you know the victim?
No. He seemed to be from another town. He said he was here on vacation.
How did he pay?
- He paid in cash. - What about a cash receipt?
He didn't get one.
Gosh, this must be his phone.
This is exactly where it happened.
What's going on?
What do I do, Ho-jun?
I think my husband is the one…
who was abducted.
What? What are you talking about?
I know I'm not making any sense now.
But this phone belongs to my husband.
What? But how…
Is this the guy
who was kidnapped?
Yes. I'm sure it was him.
Hello, Detective Choi.
Park Gyeong-chun is still near the village. Where are you now?
We're at the bed and breakfast.
Can you locate Park Gyeong-chun's taxi?
What are you waiting for? Get in the car!
Move the car.
What? Ji-won.
Park Gyeong-chun isn't speeding that much. I bet he's not in a hurry.
Take the road along the reservoir. You can catch up with him.
Gosh, Ji-won. Slow down.
My gosh.
Gosh, Ji-won.
Ho-jun. Wake up, Ho-jun!
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I forgot that you were in the car.
I must've lost my mind.
What's wrong with me?
We have no time for this.
We have to find your husband.
We have to.
So what is it that I don't know, Doctor?
Tell me what it is.
Why are you so impatient?
Hang on.
I need to take my medicine now.
I'll tell you after taking this.
Have a seat. Just sit.
So…
The thing is…
Darn it.
Are you feeling all right?
I'm from Yeonju Police Station.
I'd like you to testify about
the trespass and assault case on Ms. Oh Bok-ja.
- We need your statement. - Okay.
Gyeong-sik, you tell him.
Sorry?
He worked on the serial murder case when he was a constable.
And he's a reporter from Seoul.
You should tell him the story.
He won't leave until he hears about it.
What story?
You know the story.
Oh, that one.
Doctor.
I'm not supposed to tell civilians about it.
It's been 18 years already. What's the big deal?
That was…
I don't think I should.
I guess you're right.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Just let me in on it.
A witness.
A witness?
What witness?
Baek Hee-seong.
Do Hyeon-su has a driver's license in the name
of Baek Hee-seong.
Why is that?
So you got a new identity?
My gosh.
Who would've imagined that?
A serial killer
changed his identity, got married, and had a kid.
And he even gets his hair trimmed regularly like this.
Do you want to be more jealous?
I have a two-story house in Seoul.
I own it.
Of course,
the bank has a bigger share for now.
Are you laughing?
Isn't it pathetic?
What's so pathetic?
The one you wanted to take revenge on is dead.
So you thought Do Hyeon-su, Do Min-seok's son, might be
the perfect target to vent your unresolved anger on.
"He's just like his father."
"He's possessed by an evil spirit." "He was in a mental hospital."
"He is heartless."
"They were always together."
- They were always together. - He's just like his father.
- He's possessed by an evil spirit. - He was in a mental hospital.
"He knew all about what his father had done."
"They did it together."
Isn't that it?
You're just as I heard.
Are you really fearless?
You know
I can kill you with a single stroke now.
When I can see through you,
why should I fear you?
It's just boring.
But you do feel pain.
I will
torment you until you give me the right answer.
Tell me.
Where's Jung Mi-suk?
You could've done it.
What?
Say that again.
It was…
close enough…
Revenge?
You've failed completely.
You fail even if you kill me.
If you cut off my limbs
and put numerous holes in my body, you will still fail.
Because…
I don't have the ability
to prove
what I don't know and what I didn't do.
Do you understand?
It's obvious what you will do to me.
But…
I wonder how you will…
be ruined.
Why don't you show me?
Are you guys all right?
We're fine.
But we have to find Park Gyeong-chun as soon as possible.
We put up more security checks
and detectives are staking out his house, workplace, and acquaintances' places.
We just asked for his tachograph record, so we will find something soon.
Before that, have you identified the victim?
I think it's my husband.
What? What are you talking about?
The victim of the kidnapping is Hee-seong.
What? But why?
I don't know. I have no idea.
I don't know anything now.
I don't even know why he was in the bed and breakfast.
The owner said he was on vacation.
Jae-seop, what am I supposed to do?
Let me do something. I have to do something.
Otherwise, I will lose my mind.
How dare the scumbag mess with a cop's family?
What should I do now?
- Ji-won, please calm down. - Don't tell me to calm down!
He kidnapped your husband. It means he has a place to confine him.
He's a taxi driver.
Abandoned factories, abandoned buildings, and redevelopment areas.
He must know tons of places like that in Seoul.
We'll find it once we analyze his tachograph record.
"Once we analyze"?
Okay.
Of course, we'll find it. Along with my husband's mangled corpse!
- Ji-won. - Jae-seop.
I want to find my husband, not Park Gyeong-chun.
While he's still alive!
You saw how Park Gyeong-chun murdered Nam Sun-gil.
We're trying our best. You know that better than anyone.
You've dealt with a lot of criminals like him.
You're the one who caught the Juha-dong kidnapper last year.
Even before a suspect was identified.
That was just innate instinct. You know, like animals have.
I was snooping around, talking to people, when he suddenly caught my eyes.
I literally got goosebumps on my arms.
That's why you followed him around and did some digging to find the evidence.
Criminals like him must have certain habits.
I can't just sit around and wait.
Tell me what to do right now.
Please come up with something.
What can we do right now?
Hang on.
What made me do it?
Why did I find him suspicious?
Why was that, Ji-won?
That's right. I remember.
I'll see you guys at Park Gyeong-chun's house now. Hurry.
"Kidnapped"?
Who kidnapped him?
We believe it's the suspect in the Chinese restaurant murder case,
so we're working on it.
What does Hee-seong have to do with the case?
Why would the suspect kidnap my son, Detective?
Have you heard of a Do Hyeon-su?
No. I've never heard that name before.
Do Hyeon-su has been on the run
since he killed the village head in Yeonju 18 years ago.
And do you remember the serial murder case
that happened in Yeonju?
No. I don't know.
Oh, right. I think I remember it vaguely.
Do Hyeon-su is the son of the serial killer,
Do Min-seok.
So?
What does Do Hyeon-su have to do with my son?
Your son's kidnapper has only one target.
It's Do Hyeon-su.
We believe he's trying to make it look
as if Do Hyeon-su did the murder so the police will find him.
And we think kidnapping your son is part of his plan.
So what is the kidnapper trying to do
with Do Hyeon-su?
Honey, let's leave it
to the detectives.
Our current priority is to rescue your son.
Detectives will be staking out your house just in case.
Okay. I understand.
Please make sure to find my son.
We will.
- That went more smoothly than I expected. - Pardon?
You know, in situations like this, it's usually
very difficult to have a conversation with the victim's family.
They beg us to save their child
and even question the investigation process.
I also found that a little strange.
They seemed more interested in the case than their son.
Well, you never know what kinds of relationships family members have.
Let's go.
This is crazy.
What on earth has he been doing?
What did I tell you? I said I should live with him.
That wouldn't have made any difference.
We knew something like this might happen when we took in a guy with a shady past.
He kidnapped Hee-seong knowing he's Do Hyeon-su.
I'm pretty sure.
What are we going to do now?
Once the culprit gets caught,
they will find out Hyeon-su has been living with Hee-seong's identity.
If something happens to us,
who will take care of Hee-seong?
The culprit will
kill Do Hyeon-su for sure.
What?
Listen.
If Hyeon-su dies,
we will be the only ones who know the truth.
We're just a poor old couple who have been used by him.
We didn't know anything.
That he was the son of a serial killer.
That he was wanted for murder.
We didn't even know that he was Do Hyeon-su.
We can be understood.
How much time do you think you have until your lungs are
filled up with water?
The good news is
that you still have time to defend yourself.
As I said,
I can't prove what I don't know.
May 12, 2002.
It was Sunday, and the weather was very nice.
It was a day that made me want to go on a picnic or a date.
What did you do that day?
Are you
joking with me right now?
That's the day Mi-suk went missing.
A black SUV with the plate number, 3194.
Mi-suk was in the car on the day of her disappearance.
Oh, right. You must know that because it was your dad's car.
Where is it from?
- This time… - Yes.
…let me give you some French wine.
Hey, you said we'd drink just a little. But this is too much.
Who knew we'd hit it off like this?
I guess you're right.
But I think I've been talking too much today.
You're not trying to pull some trick on me, are you?
Gosh, what do you take me for?
- Fine. - What?
Here.
What else?
What? Where did it go?
- What? - My recorder.
I'm sure I had it in here.
Look at you. You're being suspicious.
You know what? I'll give you an arrest warrant.
Here. Go ahead and search me.
I'll really do a body search.
Forget it. I believe you. Just sit.
Drink it up. Let's drink.
I'm going to make sure you black out tonight.
- Let me go to the restroom. - Okay.
It's 2002. May 12, 2002.
May 12, 2002.
At 2:00 a.m.
Sehyeon 2-dong.
Witness, Jang Yeong-hui.
Worked at JNQ Hotel.
Gosh, this is getting more interesting.
Sehyeon 2-dong intersection, at 2:30 a.m.
There was a witness who saw Mi-suk being forced into Do Min-seok's car.
GYEONGGI 58 GA 3194
The witness memorized the plate number and reported it to the police.
And Do Min-seok was investigated.
But he was released without charge.
Because his son
proved his alibi for the time of the crime.
If Do Min-seok was caught back then, Mi-suk wouldn't have died.
It was the last chance to save Mi-suk.
I just told them the truth.
From that morning until the next morning,
I was with my dad the whole time.
I consistently told them
the detailed information about his whereabouts by ten minutes repeatedly.
If what you say is true,
it means Do Min-seok's car was going around itself kidnapping people.
Because that's quite common, right?
The witness was drunk…
and changed the testimony later on. Why are you leaving that out?
I gave a consistent testimony,
whereas the witness changed her statement.
She said she didn't remember.
Killing me
won't fill the holes in your imagination.
Why is it…
It seems familiar, doesn't it?
Mi-suk had the same thing.
But Nam Sun-gil said you used to carry it.
Why is that?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Tell me.
Who could've had Mi-suk's belongings that she had until the moment she went missing?
Who do you think it is?
Tell me.
THE LATE DO MIN-SEOK
Hyeon-su.
What is this?
A golden fish brings good luck.
Make sure to carry it with you.
Ms. Do Hae-su, just a moment.
Ms. Do Hae-su, I'd like to interview you.
The people have the right to know.
Do Hyeon-su is getting public attention again.
And some suspect that you're harboring your brother.
She's coming out.
- What? - Where?
Please go away. I don't know anything.
You were 19 when Do Min-seok committed the killings.
Did you really not know your father was a serial killer?
No, I didn't.
What about your college? After your father turned out to be a serial killer,
and your brother killed the village head and fled,
you went to art school. A prestigious school that anyone would want to go to.
Please say something to the victims' families.
I'm sorry.
Wait. If you have nothing to do with Do Hyeon-su's escape,
why don't you reveal your face in public?
I think you're pretty.
I'm sorry.
- Wait. - Open it, Ms. Do Hae-su.
Ms. Do Hae-su!
Does she really feel sorry?
- She is pretty, though. - Open it.
I thought about why I was obsessed with that guy Juha-dong kidnapping case.
And I remembered.
He lived in the redevelopment area, but his door lock seemed quite fancy.
I could tell it was new.
He was about to move out, but he had one with auto-lock and fingerprint scanning.
Park Gyeong-chun would've needed a lock as well to control his hideout.
Exactly. He must've had a locksmith install one and he must've paid for it.
If we search his house, we'll find something for sure.
Go ahead and explain.
How did Mi-suk's belonging end up in your hands?
Why? Why can't you say anything?
You've been rattling on without batting an eyelid.
But you can't explain this?
Tell me.
Where's Jung Mi-suk?
It's over there.
Spread out.
Take a look at this.
DOOR LOCK, LOCK AND KEY
Find the rest of the number.
It's here.
TELEPHONE
I remember.
Reconstruction of the building has been on hold for a while.
So I thought it was strange that he wanted a new door lock.
Where did you bury Mi-suk? Just tell me that.
Then I will spare your life.
I don't know.
If you consider yourself a human being,
you should live as one at least for a moment, don't you think?
In the dark, damp, and cold place,
she must be waiting
for me to get her out.
Please tell me. I'm begging you.
Please.
It wasn't me.
There's a taxi.
Ask for backup and block the exit.
We've located Park Gyeong-chun. Send backup.
Move over!
Park Gyeong-chun, you're under arrest
for murdering Nam Sun-gil and kidnapping Baek Hee-seong.
Park Gyeong-chun!
Drop the knife.
I said drop the knife!
Hey, just shoot him.
- Go ahead and shoot him. - Shoot me!
Let's see who will die.
Go ahead. Just shoot him.
Move out of my way.
Move!
Detective Choi. Wake up.
Detective Choi!
Do you want me to tell you
what kind of person I am?
I didn't even finish high school.
Why not?
No reason. I had a hard time adjusting.
I used to live on the street.
Back then, all I did was get into fights.
Have you punched anyone before?
No.
I beat someone up and didn't even feel my fists being cut.
When I did that…
I felt really good.
And…
I also see things.
There's something wrong with this.
What do you see?
A dead person.
You must've loved the person a lot.
I've seen my late grandma in my dream too.
"Grandma, you should go now."
"Don't worry about me and rest in peace," I said.
Then she turned around and left silently.
You're so…
You're so clueless.
You feel bad that you're no better than me and have nothing?
- I don't have feelings like that. - You have only one problem.
You can't see yourself the way I see you.
I'll love you even more from now on.
I will be really good to you.
I'll teach you what you don't know.
Then everything will change at some point.
Like magic.
See? You're doing it again.
You're staring at me like that again. It makes my heart flutter.
And yet you say you have no feelings for me.
I really
don't get you.
Is that…
a confession?
The mood is nice out here,
and I have nothing else to say. Let's just make out.
Dad.
Please leave now.
I want to stay here.
Please. Please go away.
What do we do now?
Do you want to have a drink?
No, Hee-seong!
Help!
I always thought
I was lucky to have met you.
But,
for this time, I feel…
you should never have met me.
Right.
I finally understand what you meant back then.
I'm…
sorry.
MISSING PERSON
NAME: JUNG MI-SUK
MULTIPLE DEAD BODIES FOUND IN HILL IN GAGYEONG-RI
YEONJU SERIAL MURDER CASE DO MIN-SEOK AND HIS SON
Subtitle translation by: Young-ju Kim
