by using his left hand.

We got at least one

competent dick.

Sorry, sir,

he was here before we arrived,

with the victim's husband.

- Is he left or right-handed?

- Pardon?

I'm told you and

the husband are close.

- Do you suspect the husband?

- I'm asking the questions.

He's right-handed.

Do you know the first rule

of domestic murder?

When the wife dies,

the husband is the killer.

Yong-Q?"-

This is just a formality.

- Last night...

- When did you get home?

I don't exactly know...

3 AM... or 4...

What did you before

heading home?

- We went drinking.

- With who?

Me!

He and I drank!

- Please get out of here.

- I drank with him!

- Will you stop that?

- He and I drank!

This is interesting.

Tell me everything

that you remember.

So the thing is...

we left the restaurant...

I can't remember afterwards...

You blacked out too?

What a load of sh*t.

You two got the story straight?

We did no such a thing!

Can you think of anyone?

Someone who held grudge?

I don't know...

Goddammit!

What's with him!

I'm sorry.

Please find him, Joon-su.

We'll catch him.

It's so scary.

How could something like that

happen in our neighborhood...

And one of the suspects

is my hubby.

Oh yeah,

how dare you sleep out?

Why were you there?

Were you two that close?

Be quiet please!

Could you go buy

some baby formula?

Aren't you feeding him?

- I guess there's not much.

- Put it in right.

Go buy the blasted thing!

Now I get it.

Why we men love

big breasted women.

Dad, where you going?

Why you...

Never seen them.

That was Dae-man,

his memory came back.

No need.

Here you go.

You really can't remember?

Most of my customers are

pairs of men.

Take a good look.

I'm not sure.

When the wife dies,

the husband is the killer.

Why can't you remember?!

I sat right here!

Stop squinting

and look at me properly!

A plate of eels please!

Oh yeah, the eels!

Here are the eels.

Whoa, you threw away $20.

That was a waste.

What do you mean?

I never got up from my seat.

Yeah, yeah, that swindler!

Yes! I'm that swindler!

Do you wanna be his accomplice

or will you tell the truth?

- Accomplice?

- Was he really here?

- What's with you?

- When did he leave?

- Goddammit...

- Chill.

I ran out of the eels

at around 11,

so he arrived just before.

When did he leave?

My wife actually

relieves meat 1 AM,

so I don't know when he left.

Tall lady,

in North Face coat.

- Yeah, North Face coat!

- That's right!

My wife's tall.

What's up his a**hole?

Somethings off about this watch.

What about it?

No blood splatter was

detect on the wrist,

but why was some

on the back of this?

When was time of death?

11:
20 PM, close to

what this watch indicates.

Either the killer took it off,

or the CSI smudged it by accident.

Why'd the killer take it off

and then put it back on?

Right?

Crime Scene guys are messy.

Good work.

3 books, please.

Good, 30 cents per book.

Come back again, sir.

You got a knack for this.

Your allowance.

Have fun.

If mom calls?

"Dad's in the toilet."

And?

Call your cellphone.

Perfect!

Det. Noh's holding on.

Perhaps he doesn't mind the demotion

and working under his junior.

Is he dumb,

or has no self respect?

His kids are entering kindergarten,

and twins to boot.

How many years till college?!

At least 10 more years!

That's good,

you can rely on your senior.

Shut it.

Treat the old man right!

According to the victim's bank records,

$150,000 was withdrawn 5 days ago.

You feel it?

Track the money.

Yes, sir!

Det. Noh, could you track down

some junkfood around school?

What?

Our team's monthly

confiscate score is the lowest.

How about working

as hard as you frown?

Move it!

Joon-su! Yo!

You got something, right?

Right?

So frustrating...

You were at the coroner's,

spit it out.

Come on, man,

tell me.

Get off.

Fine, I'll shut up.

Dae-man.

Get the hell out!

He certainly acts

like a cop now.

Buddy, come back.

Stop.

#171! You're dead!

I'm home.

Hungry?

Yup!

Wait!

Go throw away this garbage.

This too.

What have you been doing all day,

and has to get a tired man to do it!

I fed Hong-ji, cleaned the house,

washed dishes, did laundry,

and even prepared your dinner!

Put it here.

- Could it really be him?

- Who did what?

The killer,

everyone's talking about it.

Talking about what?

The baker lives beside Yong-gyu.

And?

She said she saw a stranger

in front of her place that night.

Timing's similar too.

Tell Joon-su for me.

Why should I?

The big shot will figure it out.

Son of a b*tch...

She's buying a condo,

so why's it under your name?

And why hide it from her husband?

I thought you two

were close.

I wanted to protect

that money for her.

He had loansharks after him.

A good samaritan.

What is this?

Joon-su.

Fess up before opening,

last chance.

One question,

did you kill her?

No, I didn't kill her.

Aren't you a lefty?

Yes.

What exactly is the problem?

A cop would've done a better job

of disposing the murder weapon.

That's all you got?

He bought a place with her money,

and he's a lefty.

What else do you need?

"Lefty"?

Can't believe you're

the head of homicide...

F*** me...

Show me some respect

in front of the boys.

Did you confiscate

any junkfood?

Bring it.

Show me!

Come on, show me.

Do I sound like a joke to you?

You son of a b*tch!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Back off! Now!

Let go!

Let's do it this way.

It's shame you work

under your junior.

And you're legendary

Noh Tae-su.

Close this case in 2 weeks,

then I'll resign.

If you don't,

you're out. Okay?

The twins holding you back?

Then shut your hole

and go fetch me some junkfood!

If you don't keep your word,

I will kill you.

You son of a b*tch!

I'm scared, so scared!

Back to work?

Yeah, hey.

Anything from Joon-su?

The suspect of April 3rd

murder case in Northern Seoul,

is found to be a police officer.

The suspect denies all charges,

but the police have gathered

incriminating evidences against him.

Gun-woo loves my bread so much.

His eyes are filled with love

when he looks at them.

He wants to buy a ton!

Stick to the story please!

Just tell me about

the man you saw!

Didn't know you had an attitude,

it must be hard on your wife!

Welcome!

Why's the dung fly still here

even after sh*t stain's gone?

Don't you mean po-po?

Out! Out!

Are you the one

who saw a strange man?

Yes, but aren't you too late?

Why the trouble

after the killer's caught?

I think it was around 10:30 PM.

I left my cellphone at the shop.

So when I came back

30 minutes later,

he was still there,

looking up at her balcony.

That's all I saw.

It was super fishy.

Description of the man?

About mid-40, tall

and sharp eyebrows,

- he looked like a goblin.

- Goblin?

I get the chills...

Out of the way.

What about the car

and the license plate?

It was so fishy

that I wrote it down.

Here, here.

Crazy bastard...

Hand it over!

You know Joon-su's

not the killer, right?
