Alright, let's start again.

You really didn't know Park was paying | the hospital bills?

No.

Then how were they paid?

Your mother was in hospital over a year.

l told you before.

Come on. How could you pay 10 million won a month?

Even if the payments were overdue.

You had to be relying on someone!

Then, why would Park pay a 85 million won bill | for a detective.

Who was trying to arrest him?

l don't know.

Excuse me.

Already back on a case?

You should take it easy.

But getting results now would get you off the hook

Then why did he fall? | My brother didn't steal.

Your brother, the thief?

He never did stuff like that.

This time even the police can't do anything.

Want me to get you a witness?

Pleading ignorance that Park was paying your bills

That just won't cut it.

You motherf***er.

lf you took the money...

l'll cut you myself bastard!

Sir, people are watching.

What's with you?

Why's he f***ing showing up so soon?

That's enough.

Sir, something's up. The chief is here.

What's going on?

Get to work.

Detective Cho!

Looks a couple days old.

Who reported it?

A truck driver found it.

ldentification?

Nothing to go by. No arms, no fingerprints.

Great, an autopsy in the middle of the night.

The medical examiner is here.

Hello, Professor Gu.

What are you doing?

lsolate the scene!

No wonder they call you pigs.

Set up a police line before | you start f***ing around.

OK, sorry. | Here.

lt caught on camera speeding.

Take care of it. | Yes, sir.

Don't just screw me around like last time, either.

Alright, l'll take care of it.

Professor.

Detective Cho, did the funeral go well? | Yes.

Must've been tough all alone.

Let's see what we've got here.

l.D. team! l.D. team.

These two legs don't belong to this body.

Then there's another victim? | Yes.

The criminal knows about anatomy and dissection.

A perfect six-part amputation.

Looks like surgical tools were used.

Anesthesia, too.

This technique is better than any quack doctor.

Cause of death?

Massive blood loss.

The victim was unconscious but alive | when they amputated

Any other injuries?

The ankles were tied up, but he didn't struggle mu

lt looks the same as the bridge killing. An intenti

lmpressive way to show corpses.

Proceed with it discreetly.

Set up your own team and work in secret.

The longer you take, the harder it'll be to crack.

ls this redemption?

lt'll be a tough case to crack.

There will be compensation if you do.

Shut up!

You thought we'd be setting up in a hotel?

Get to work.

What about the VCR?

Yes sir, it's almost ready.

Tell daddy the truth, did you smoke today or not?

That's my girl!

Go straight home after school or l'll send out the

Where should we start anyway?

Thanks for the peanuts.

Would you like some coffee?

Sugar?

The button is from the little kid who died.

lt's still bothering you, isn't it?

lt keeps making me think.

About what?

About the past.

Don't dwell on your mother.

l still don't know if l did the right thing.

You probably didn't want to send her off like that

But a decision had to be made.

The two arms belong to the victim | from under the bridge.

But this time the heart is missing.

Any fingerprints?

Of course not. They were cut off.

Give me a cigarette.

l quit smoking.

You quit? That's a laugh.

You mean we can't identify this one either?

Maybe this time.

The implants were left in his teeth.

lmplants?

lmplants all have different traits, | depending on the manufacturer.

You can find out which hospital put them in | and which doctor.

l think these were done at Seoul Central Hospital.

There should be a chart on him.

So, Detective Cho...

why do you think the killer is playing | with the corpses?

The elevator corpse's legs were with the bridge corpse.

But the body is still missing.

The bridge corpse's legs are missing.

But the arms were with the riverside park corpse.

And the park corpse's arms and heart are missing.

According to this pattern, the missing arms and the heart

will go to the next victim.

The missing parts for the next combination.

Are being kept somewhere.

[patient chart]

We've identified the park corpse.

Hospital records have Suyeon Chae | as next of kin, not a relative.

Suyeon Chae? | Yes, sir.

Hello | Hello

This is a restricted area.

Please wait here a moment.

Did you know Joonghyun Kwon | had listed you as next of kin?

He didn't say anything about it.

His whole family had immigrated.

Maybe he thought of me that way.

This is the criminal. lt's hard to see his face.

lf his clothes or movements remind you of anyone.

Can you tell me?

Can you show it to me again.

Do you notice anything particular?

lt's too quick to see anything.

Can you tell me if any of these people | are connected to Mr. Kwon?

Miss Chae?

l know them all.

We'll contact you again.

Didn't she say she lives alone?

The elevator victim is Woojin Suh, | age 27, artist.

Found second, but autopsies show | he was the lst victim.

He was involved with Miss Chae in college.

They kept in touch until recently.

He was engaged to someone else when he died

The bridge victim is Hyunseung Park, | age 35, a violinist.

Found first but actually the 2nd victim.

Miss Chae met him in France.

His wife and son are still in Paris.

But if he loved someone he could do it.

Was the elevator victim first?

Yes, he was reported missing first | a week before the 2nd victim.

Then they were killed in the order | she was involved with them in.

What about Joonghyun Kwon?

He was seeing her before he died.

He's 34, a philosophy professor.

Many of his friends thought | he was going to marry her.

But she was avoiding him.

An impressive list of lovers.

Her father is an artist?

Yes, Yonghoon Chae, a very famous artist.

He's working abroad somewhere.

Korean galleries lost touch | with him about 5 years ago.

Who is this woman, really?

You stayed up all night?

Did you get anything?

She's not very talkative.

Two calls from a man who seems like a museum colle

At 8:
00 and 9:00.

And two from a woman named Seungmin.

The calls were ordinary, | all less than a minute long.

Who was the man?

He called himself Kiyon.

They spoke in familiar terms.

Small talk.

Anything going on? | Nothing special yet, sir.

Any visitors? | None.

Detective Oh, Detective Cho is coming.

Are you here to see Suyeon? | Yes.

You're police, aren't you?

Suyeon said detectives would be coming today.

And in the convenience store, | he's a detective too, right?

How did you know? You shouldn't know that.

l saw him looking over here a lot when l came.

Do you live around here?
