2 serial killers in one city...

Did he recognize me like I did him?

Kanghwa High School Girl

Kidnapped and Murdered

My daughter is in danger.

20L8588, silver Sonata.

Blood was dripping from the trunk,

and a piece of luggage was in there.

Could I get your name?

Officer Min,

where were you after your shift yesterday?

We received a tip.

Someone saw you carrying

a body in your trunk.

What?

Did you kill them?

Are you the maiden serial killer?

That was a deer.

Hello?

Kanghwa Police, is this Mr. Kim Byung-su?

We looked into the 20L8588

number you reported,

about the luggage in the trunk.

Yes?

It wasn't a human body, but a deer's.

Thanks for the tip though.

How did you get my number?

The car owner gave me your business card.

It was nothing at all, so just forget it.

Then or now, all cops are dumbfucks.

2 recent murder cases, same modus operandi.

Arteries were severed

and blood was drained.

The body's weight was decreased

and was being transported

when we got into a collision here.

Where was he heading?

If it were me...

to the reservoir.

The spot where the road ends.

He wouldn't have carried the luggage far.

If it were me...

Another woman in her early 20s

was found murdered in the

Kanghwa Aewol Reservoir early today.

The police was responding to

an anonymous tip,

and it bears similarities

to previous victims...

Hey.

Didn't Min have an accident around there?

Right.

Min Tae-ju!

Isn't Aewol Junction not far from here?

The junction is just ahead.

Why isn't he answering me?

Let him be, he's weird that way.

Dongsung Veterinary Clinic

Temporarily Closed from Sept. 10

Can I help you?

Are you here because of your cat?

Is it sick?

Sorry about that, my dad is not well.

What to do...

You should take it to the vet in the city.

Let's go!

- He's a cop.

- Really?

- A cop?

- Cool, eh?

Really?

He gets his hair cut at my shop.

You busy?

Because of those stupid

maiden serial killings,

HQ and the station are all going apeshit.

So, what's up?

I need to pull up a car plate.

I had a collision.

The number is...

I wrote it down.

Hit-and-run?

You should report it.

No, I think he's from here,

I'd like to settle it quietly.

Sure, I understand.

By the way,

do you recognize me now?

What?

My name.

An Byung...

Chief An, An Byung-man.

Jesus Christ!

You're clear as day now.

This is so confusing.

Cabs don't come this far at this hour.

I'll be home soon, bye.

Oh, hello there.

For such a tiny lady, you have no fear.

It's dangerous to be out

at night in this town.

Get in.

Thank you.

Dad!

Dad, it's me...

What's wrong?

My head may be losing its memories,

but my hand remembers, like an old habit.

The killing.

What if I had imagined the collision?

What if I had committed those murders?

It's getting worse,

I should look into a

hospital or a senior home.

Forget it.

If I can't handle it, I'll

drag you to one myself.

I don't even know what I'll do!

Ouch!

Your makeup is getting thicker.

I'm a girl too.

You never did your lips.

Your child is thinking of dating.

And you, Dad?

Are you attending the classes?

Any ladies steal your heart?

Stop this nonsense.

Move your leg.

Record the song again.

- 'Spring Rain'?

- Yeah.

I erased it by accident.

How will you date at this rate?

Isn't it obvious?

You may have to change my diapers soon.

I'll do it later, okay?

Don't move and hold still.

Changing diapers can't be hard.

You changed mine for a long time.

It'll be my turn.

Let's take a look.

It looks so much better!

Now you can pick up girls.

Don't press down on it.

Why?

That's not my style.

Let's take a selfie.

1... Smile.

1, 2, 3!

Maria Convent

How's Eun-hee?

She's well.

What brings you here without calling first?

You know that senior home here?

Are men allowed?

Who?

I have dementia.

I don't want to be a burden to Eun-hee.

I'd rather be yours.

Am I being punished?

I'll visit again.

Byung-su!

You can forget it now.

Let it go.

I pray for you everyday.

I'll take the punishment instead...

If I told her Dad wasn't

the only person I killed,

what would she say?

Would she still pray for me?

Nietzsche said,

"There is no devil and no hell.

Fear nothing further.

Your soul will be dead even

sooner than your body."

Goddammit...

I should really quit this.

Or I may end up killing this douchebag.

Mr. Kim!

Wait, Mr. Kim!

Oh no!

Sir!

Could you give me a ride?!

It feels so good to go for a drive!

If you're not busy today,

how about a movie?

I don't like movies.

How come?

Because it's all fake.

Fake?

Right, you're so right!

Then what real things do you like?

Besides writing poetry.

Killing.

Killing?

Jesus!

What's wrong? That startled me.

Dad?

Who is he?

Dad, the thing is...

Hello, I'm Min Tae-ju.

I'm Eun-hee's boyfriend.

Is this your daughter?

So pretty!

Hello there.

We go to poetry class

together, I'm Jo Yun-ju.

Let's go home, it's late.

Dad...

Come on, Mr. Kim,

it's broad daylight, it's not late at all.

Don't worry, sir.

I'll make sure to drive her home safely.

Who is he? He looks familiar

but I can't remember.

I'm a police officer.

That's great!

Young people together,

and old folks together.

Right?

Let's go, Mr. Kim.

See you, Eun-hee! Let's go!

Bye!

No more frowning!

Being a police officer is a great job.

I'd be so happy for them.

By the way...

where are we going now?

I've been meaning to ask you.

Any specific region?

Who are you?

Sh*t.

Did I look desperate?

Eun-hee's got a boyfriend.

Min Tae-ju, police officer.

Maybe this is good.

Were you surprised?

All dads are hostile towards

their daughter's boyfriend.

I've met him once before.

I recognized him.

We had a collision not too long ago.

What?

It was a very minor one,

I didn't think he remembered,

so I played dumb.

He has dementia?

Yes, Alzheimer's.

Isn't it hard?

Taking care of him?

Once in a while,

he feels like a stranger.

By the way, why do you think he

was at Aewol Junction?

He probably went to the bamboo grove.

Bamboo grove?

A long ago, he bought some land

and planted bamboo.

When I was a kid.

He sometimes goes there for a walk.

But he always gets lost there.

Ah, Byung-su.

Your clinic was closed.

Are you getting worse?

Gotta wait and see.

Why don't you sell it off

and live somewhere else?

For Eun-hee's sake too.

And look for a decent hospital too.

No point in staying in this blasted town.

Look who's talking.

Why are you rotting in this town?

I don't know if you remember,

there was a Doremi supermarket

with a cigarette store beside it.

A girl used to work there.

She smiled all the time.

Remember her?

I bought smokes everyday, '88 Light.'

She knew I bought smokes in

the morning and at night,

so she waited until I came by

then closed shop and went home.

Always.

"Sir, don't smoke so

much," she said one day.

I didn't see her after that day.

Her mom begged me to

find even just her body,

and she would've given
