Someone definitely fished out

the body from the stream.

How so?

On what basis?

Wet clothes, hair, and grass

leaning towards the body.

You live up to your name,

Mr. Profiler!

SEO YOUNG-HEE But who'd drag

the body to the bike trail?

The killer!

Why'd he do that?

This case's greatest mystery is...

When will you pay

the remaining $720?

Come back tonight.

And you'll tell me

to comeback tomorrow.

By the way.

Why aren't we getting

new books?

If you pay up,

maybe you will get some!

Goddammit!

Please pay me tonight!

I finally put her to sleep...

I'm changing it,

please stop crying!

No way,

you just pooped.

Take a deep nap

until mommy gets here.

You can do it.

Sorry, I must be nuts.

I'll sit softly,

sorry, Hong-ji.

KIM JOUNG-HOON

My baby's so calm

like an angel!

Not even crying!

We need to talk.

Not a word about me quitting.

No, the sales is dropping.

Customers hate

the crying and pooping.

Can the sales go even lower?

We gotta pay for Gun-weds

kindergarten next year.

Stop irritating me

and give me the money.

It's Monday,

this week's living expense.

New books came in,

so I paid for that.

I forgot.

Huh? The credit card bill's

due tomorrow.

- What about your salary?

- I started 2 weeks ago.

How many new books?

This is all there's left?

Show me today's shipment.

Why?

Be honest.

Do you still close shop

and hangout at the station?

Don't even joke.

Then show me the new books!

Now!

Hong-ji's crying!

Take her!

And the money?!

Pay the bill with another card,

I'll think of a way.

You said that about our debt!

She's crying!

Look!

All right, baby,

mommy's here.

Go away!

Go!

Don't cry, sweetie.

Don't cry, sweetie.

You really got the wrong guy!

- Just listen to me!

- Shut it!

Det. Lee!

Det. Kang's looking for you!

- We got a Kang?

- Yes, we do.

The mentalist with

powerful deduction skills.

Here he comes.

Yo, Joon!

You can't tell your colleagues

apart after 2 weeks?

Closed a case?

Come here, asswipe.

- Come.

- That hurts!

What's he in for?

Rape? Larceny?

When you breakup with a girl,

do you torch her house?

Then why were you there?

I was coming back

from a sauna.

Sauna? What time?

I went there at 12:30 or so,

and stayed for an hour.

When did the fire break out?

Stop lying, asswipe!

Then how come no one

remembers seeing you?

Dammit!

Okay, I'll shut my mouth!

I'm serious!

Go home!

Just go home, Dae-man.

You took a sick day,

where are you sick?

Are you sick?

As you know,

her wedding was at 1 today.

I wanted to get away,

I met her at work.

That's a weird coincidence.

Her house is torched

on the day of her wedding,

and her heart-broken ex is

watching it burn down.

When I was passing it,

the firetruck was already there.

Yeah, mom.

I'm fine,

don't worry about it.

It's nothing at all.

It's okay.

- What an idiot.

- I'll call you back later.

Empty your pockets, now!

He didn't do it.

Joon-su, uncuff him.

I'll leave!

Let me just say one thing!

Dae-man, please!

Let me go!

He really didn't do it!

Hey, hey!

say Your piece.

Firstly, there's no doubt that

he was at the sauna.

Look, his wristwatch

came from his pocket.

Conclusive evidence of undressing.

- Right! Right!

- That's it? Leave.

One more!

Please, just one more!

Did you hear that ringtone?

If he was the perp,

he'd have turned it off.

Right!

It's not like he needs to alert

the entire neighborhood, right?

Yup! Yup!

Go home.

See you.

I'm sorry.

Joon-su, did you

check out his shoes?

Did you see?

- Son of a b*tch!

- Take a look!

Do arsonist swear flip-flops?

Those are more for strolling

around the neighborhood!

Why didn't he flee

when the cops came for him?

So that flips won't flop off?

He's a heart-broken man,

you should be sorry for him!

Drop it, asswipe.

Is this your friends' playground?

I'm sorry, sir.

Make sure he gets this message.

If he ever shows up around here,

I'll make him into

a cold case suspect.

Yes, sir.

Crazy bastards...

And let that asswipe go.

'Homicide White Shark'?

Him? Bullcrap.

Gangsters couldn't even

lock eyes with him.

Then why's he here?

Being a legend and all.

While arresting gang members

2 years ago,

he was demoted for

killing 3 of them.

What? Killed 3?

With his bare hands, a**hole.

Since he's so hard-boiled

and uncontrollable,

that case was used as

a pretext for his demotion.

If you piss off the brass,

they'll cut you off like that.

Academy grad?

I thought he was

a lazy egomaniac.

If you don't watch it,

he could f*** you up.

You're so full of crap!

He doesn't look like

an Academy type.

Did he even graduate high school?

Joon-su.

I'm so envious of you.

Not this again, a**hole.

I really want to...

smash these legs!

9 years ago,

Police recruitment physical test

Hold Still.

Hold still, I said.

I got a leg cramp,

I'm sorry!

Next!

Let me try again!

FAIL:

FAIL:

I'm gonna smash 'em all!

I'm gonna smash 'em all!

That bastard!

I want proper legs!

My bud's a po-po!

I'm sorry.

Have a good night!

Take care!

Yong-Q)!"

Hey, what's up?

N ow?

Okay.

Something's up between you two?

Why's he calling me?

What did he say?

He wants to go drinking,

we're meeting up at his shop.

Wanna come?

It's an emergency.

This is real police work.

It's not as fun as you think.

Should I come with?

F*** you.

Send him my regards.

Will you really

hide this from Yong-gyu?

I have to.

Until the divorce.

Hong-ji's up.

Mi-ok! Honey!

Mi-ok

I'm so f***ed!

Yong-gyu, I gotta go,

your kid's awake!

Your baby's crying!

Dude!

Mrs. Han?

Mrs. Han?

Hello?

Hello?

My 90...

- Det. Shin!

- Yes, sir!

Come this way.

Watch your feet.

- Checked visitor log?

- Yes, I did that.

You gotta bring it!

What's all the commotion?

Open your eyes

and shut your mouths.

Keep your useless hands

in your pockets.

Time of death?

11:
22.49 last night.

We'll know for sure

after her autopsy.

Han Suh-young,

33 years old, married,

worked as a realtor.

A year-old baby

with her husband.

Have you checked

nearby CCTVs?

Us, Invincible Team 1

collected the CCTV data.

- I'm sorry.

- Do your job.

Who reported it?

Her husband called it in

at 7:
30 AM.

But she was killed last night?

He said he woke up

and found her dead.

Somethings off.

No foot or fingerprints.

It was probably an acquaintance,

but it feels too cold-blooded.

That's funny.

He's right-handed

but stabbed with left.

How'd you know that?

This is a stereotypical

execution style.

The deathblow.

Only this stab direction

is different.

Because he did it with right hand.

Why'd he do that?

You call that a question?

- Who brought the rookie?

- Sorry, sir.

Useless pricks!

The killer is an acquaintance

and right-handed.

He wanted to frame someone
