Probably left a wound.

Send me DNA samples

of your suspects.

It's an indisputable evidence.

I know the commissioner is

all over this,

I believe we did all we can.

Go frame by frame.

- I found him!

- You got it?

Where?

Show me.

Zoom in.

At 0205 hours,

he entered Daechi district,

so narrow down the direction

and keep tracking.

- I got him.

- Yeah? Let's see.

It's 5387.

That's it.

It was heading this way.

I got him,

come check it out.

Isn't it 5387?

He's over here too!

- Where?

- Here.

Okay, where is that?

It's connected to here.

Where are we?

Det. Oh!

- Take a look!

- What is it?

What's this?

You're under arrest

for murder.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Sir, you need to see this.

We've tracked the cab

backwards from the site.

We found out that

it came from Mt. Woomyun.

As you see,

the driver is alone in the car.

This is Banpo district

at 0028 hours.

Here, the cab was heading

for Mt. Woomyun.

Now it gets interesting,

take a look.

Play it.

Stop.

If you look closely,

there's a rider in the back.

It's a pity that the face

can't be enhanced,

but two went up the mountain,

and only one came down.

I think we got the answer.

The passenger must be

the killer.

When we track

the cab route backwards,

heading for the Mt. Woomyun,

I'm certain we can catch

the killer getting in the cab.

Any chance of uncovered areas

or mistaken identity?

It's a case by case,

but I'm sure

we can pull it off.

- Good night!

- Yup.

Night, sir!

- Take care, boss!

- Salute!

Dong-jae!

Yes, Det. Oh.

Whatcha doing alone?

You looked out of it earlier too.

Something on your mind?

Not at all.

There's something.

Tell me,

fess up.

Too big a case?

Not at all.

Bullshit.

There's something fishy

about this case.

How so?

Who knows, comes with

a decade of experience.

Heightened intuition.

Been working out?

I started working out

since last week, feel it.

- Already some difference?

- Of course!

- Evening, sir.

- Salute.

- Have you had dinner?

- Evening, sir.

Sinsa 1-78

Sinsa 1-76

Anything?

Nothing so far.

- Going well.

- Yes, sir.

- Here?

- Yeah.

There's nothing.

I found it!

It's a residential CCTV

towards the site.

It's the killer for sure!

- What? Really?

- Let's take a look.

Let's see.

Move aside.

Play.

- It's the cab?

- Yes. It's 5387.

- Zoom in.

- Yes, sir.

Is that a body in the trunk?

- Yeah.

- Looks like it.

It is a body.

Get the address

and deploy!

Yes, sir.

It's him!

- Hey!

- You there!

Bastard!

Lost him?

- Where did he go?

- We may have lost him.

Disperse.

- Find him.

- Yes, sir.

I'm at a cul-de-sac,

he's not here.

Then canvas east from there.

I didn't kill him!

I was told to go there,

and he was already dead!

I just followed his instructions.

I only moved the body

to the site and hung him up!

Who is he?

He might kill me...

I'm so f***ed

because of that bastard!

!Who the hell is he?!

Drop the gun

and get the f*** away!

Why is everyone up my ass?

I didn't kill him!

Anyone have eyes on him?

Where the chief?

He's not up here.

Unit A reporting,

not here either.

Chief, do you copy?

Name, Lee Jung-hoe,

unemployed,

no next of kin.

According to his

phone records,

he had no contact

with the victim,

but there was

a common number

to a throwaway phone

created 3 years ago

with the ID of an agent

at Mirae Entertainment,

which is a dead end.

What happened?

Even if he was a threat,

how could you shoot to kill?

Whether he was

the killer or not,

a man died

in the line of duty.

Any use of deadly force

must be justified.

Any witnesses?

I'll take full responsib...

I was just behind him

and saw the whole thing.

It was dark,

and he wielded a knife,

so shooting him

was the only option.

I'll be the witness.

Yes, I saw too,

it was unavoidable.

- Me too.

- I saw it too.

Look at this.

Covering for their boss.

Make sure there's

no backlash,

and settle it quietly.

In all honesty,

I don't care if Lee's

dead or alive.

What's important is,

he has to be the killer.

Are you...

absolutely certain?

As you saw earlier,

from a drug arrest

and a history of mental illness,

both were presumed to be

under the influence.

Traces of metapon

were in his blood...

'Metopon'?

It's a drug that's extracted

from morphine,

according to the forensics,

the toxicity is so high that

the demand is all but gone.

It's very hard to obtain it.

So they killed over the drug?

What's more important

than a hit to addicts?

It's a solid motive.

CCTVs are enough to secure

his actions afterwards.

Lastly, if Lee's DNA samples

match the recovered skin cells,

then this case is

as good as closed.

The forensics report

will be out tomorrow.

It was all but certain that

Lee was the killer,

and he was shot

during his arrest,

because he couldn't be contained.

The investigators are

analyzing his DNA samples

to prove that he was the killer,

and we'll report the result

as soon as it's available.

That is all.

Can you confirm that

he was the killer?

When will you get the result?

Just give us a clay.

- Let's wrap it up.

- Sure.

Sang-won, go get the car.

Come quick.

Chief.

We're going out for a drink,

would you like to come?

I'm fine.

Don't take it to heart.

Yeah.

Dong-jae.

- Come here.

- Yes, sir.

Things on your mind again?

Look how tight

your muscles are.

You need to drink more.

Det. Oh.

Yeah?

Don't you think the chief

is acting a bit strange?

- Kiddo.

- Sir?

When you look hard enough,

anything in life is odd.

Don't over think it.

You complicated bastard.

That's not it.

After along struggle,

he's finally going places,

not to mention high pressure

of this case,

and he accidentally

killed a suspect.

Imagine the stress.

Anyone in his situation

would be on the edge.

We have to support him.

You have to die

for me to live.

I just followed his instructions.

Traces of metapon

were in his blood...

Shitty luck alert.

Business doing well?

Don't f***ing greet him.

I asked you a question.

What's going on?!

Don't hit me.

I don't f***ing deal drugs!

I don't f***ing deal!

Ideal! Ideal!

I f***ing deal!

Ideal...

Ideal...

Metopon,

who deals it nowadays?

Metopon?

There're so many better stuff,

no one wants that sh*t.

I'm serious! Really!

It was trendy for a bit

last year,

but no one's doing it anymore

'cause it's so addictive.

Once you try that,

nothing else will get you high.

Did anyone

looked for it recently?

I said no one's looking for it.

Then telll me everything

you know about it!

Metopon, AKA methyl...

something...

AKA 'the killer'

on the street.

It's refined in Busan,

sold at $200 a piece.

Clients are the usual suspects.

Remember the movie star

drug scandal last year?

- Movie star?

- Yes.

A buncha B-listers

who faded into obscurity.

Jo Sun-young, Kim Jin-kyu...

They were arrested for

doing metopon.
