Kim Jin-kyu, actor

Morning, sir.

Chief, one sec.

Forensics report came out,

Lee's not a match.

I heard.

So he's not the killer.

Dammit.

Get your ass in there!

What the hell happened

You said he was the one.

We'll reinvestigate.

Reinvestigate what?

The entire country is watching this!

You killed the wrong suspect,

and misled the media!

Who's gonna

clean up this mess!

Choi Chang-sik.

Sir?

This DNA report does not exist.

I'll handle the forensics head,

so get your men on board,

and fix this DNA report.

Case closed,

as of now.

Since both Lee and Jung

are dead,

circumstantial evidences

and CCTV footages

should be enough to

convince the public.

No?

Case closed?

Kim Jin-kyu was...

in complete hiding

after the scandal,

but he called me

out of nowhere.

He wanted to quit.

That is all.

I don't know his

current whereabouts.

Did he have any

close associates?

Well, he was

such an introvert...

There was a rumor

that he was gay.

Is he in any trouble?

I need to check

something with him.

Could you help?

Yes, of course.

I'll look into it

and give you a call.

Did he...

sign a contract

by any chance?

His address would be on it.

I'm Det. Cha

from Gangnam Police.

There was a missing

CCTV feed,

could I get a copy of it?

Sure, please write down

location and date.

Last Wednesday...

One moment.

Sinsa 1-78

Chief!

Yes, Dong-jae.

Chief?

Yeah.

There's a superior

I respect immensely.

At a crime scene

I found his personal item.

I first thought

it was a coincidence.

But shortly afterwards,

I caught him stealing

a vital piece of evidence

to a murder case.

Then he shot and killed

a fleeing suspect,

who held the key

to solving this case.

I thought it was very peculiar.

So I got a copy of

the evidence he stole.

It contained sufficient

evidence to pin him

as the prime suspect

of this case.

What must I do

in this situation?

It's too hard, chief.

He must have a reason,

so I made a decision.

'Let's just tell him

everything I know.'

'And see how he fixes

this problem.'

I believe that he will

make a wise solution.

Sinsa 1-78

Have a good night, chief.

Yes?

Hello, chief.

It's Ahn from

Mirae Entertainment.

I got in touch with

Kim Jin-kyu.

No, I didn't find him.

He actually called me,

I don't know how he found out.

Asked why I wanted him.

I told him about you,

and he knows you well.

He said he'll meet you soon.

I don't know if this will help,

but I came across it while

I was asking around.

He runs a bar called Mojo

in Sangam district.

Mt. Woomyun Park

Yes, chief.

Go ahead.

Could you look up

following areas for cases?

May 11, Anyang.

6th, Jinchun.

2nd, Gwangmyung.

Okay, one moment.

Sir, there're

open murder cases in all 3.

All of the victims

are former cops.

Jo Woon-gil for Anyang,

Ju Jin-suk for Jinchun,

Park Gwang-choon

for Gwangmyung.

I knew Park from before,

I even went to his funeral.

What's this about?

Park Gwang...

Jin-suk! Jin-suk!

Gwang-choon, Woon-g,

we got a huge case!

It's an emergency!

Let's move!

My 90...

The massacre took place

at an illegal casino,

all 12 victims were

killed with cyanide.

It's a special order!

Solve this case

by any means necessary.

It's him!

Wait, who are you?

Come out, a**hole!

Let go!

Let go of me!

- Lee Jung-hoon!

- Grab him!

Untie me!

Did you know them?

I don't know any of them!

I've never met that woman!

Never!

Goddammit!

Unsolved Casino Massacre

Police Incompetency?

Special Order by Metro Police

Is this your best?!

What's the problem?!

Bring me a suspect,

even if you have to make one!

Do you understand?!

Yes.

Chief, it's ready.

Suspect Kim Bong-su...

has physical as well as

mental disabilities,

and barely made

minimum wage

by working at the casino,

but was constantly assaulted

by the victims.

He confessed that his grudge

led him to mix cyanide

into their drinks.

Thereby killing

all 12 people at once.

In addition to his confession,

2 witnesses came forward,

who were present at the scene.

Kim Jin-kyu

Can I help you?

I would like to confess.

Confess to what?

I recently killed someone

and hung him on a crane.

What?

I'm the one,

who hung a body

on the crane.

Chief, please come!

A man named Kim Jin-kyu

came to confess.

He hasn't said much yet.

Kim Jin-kyu, 28,

was a movie actor.

He too has a few

drug arrests.

He says he'll

only talk to chief Choi.

Before we begin,

could you turn it off?

You know,

outgoing mike.

Do it.

Now, let's begin.

Interrogate me.

Did you really

kill Jung Ji-su?

Of course not.

How could I?

I saw you killing him

with my eyes.

What's he saying?

I never wanted to

cause such ruckus.

I wasgoing meet you

privately outside.

But I noticed that

you were going to

cover up this case.

So I came in person like this.

Kim Jin-kyu.

Yes?

Is this because of your dad?

Anyang, Jinchun,

Gwangmyung, you did it.

You sent Jung after me,

you hung him to the crane,

you're behind it all.

I'm impressed.

Stop it,

it's all in the past.

Had you died as I intended

that night,

this wouldn't have happened.

You'd all die one by one

and that'd be that.

But you messed up my plan

by killing my man.

That son of a...

But thanks to you,

everything's gotten

a lot interesting.

I'm enthralled to see you

as a cornered rat.

Humans are quite foolish.

Jung and Lee...

they committed one crime

after another,

trying to cover up

their original crime,

and they did anything

to get high.

You're not all that

different from them.

Since you managed to kill

my minions,

you'll have to

take their place.

Not a chance.

Really?

I got a video of you

killing him on my cellphone.

Matter of seconds

before it's online.

If you know

why I'm doing this,

then you know

what you must do.

Right.

You'll have to

kill someone for me.

You know who.

What?

You already killed 2,

what's one more to you?

Deadline is 9PM tonight,

you got 2 hours.

The choice is yours,

either comply,

or pay for your crimes.

I will not be

dragged in the mud.

Make no mistake.

If you do not stop here,

I will kill you.

I must be off now.

Clear me of all suspicion.

So?

Is he the one?

His statement lacks credibility.

He got creative with

what was reported on TV.

But we should keep him

and look into him further.

Lt. Kang, give him a go.

Yes, sir.

He's a weird one.

Like Choi said,

he's not making any sense.

This won't do,

let's start from the top.

Kang will take over

the case.

Stay full alert.

You left out the most

important aspect!

Kim Jin-kyu...

What a f***ing idiot...

Verify his ID

and let him loose.

We can keep him for 48 hours,

why not observe him...

What the hell for?

Nutjobs like him only

muddle our investigation.

The media is watching us,

what if we're barking up

the wrong tree?

How you manage'?

Kick him out.

Yes, sir.

You'll have to

kill someone for me.

You know who.

President's Award

ls the superintendent in?

He's gone for the day.
