You bastard!

Joon-su's not a moron!

Why'd he wrap the murder weapon

with his own clothes?

That's not evidence,

it proves that he's being framed!

Tell me the plate number

before I kill you.

We should team up on this.

Why'd I team up with a dung fly?!

Honestly, you know about

my deduction skills.

Police work in progress,

please move along.

Go away! Go!

I'll count to 5.

Then I'll charge you for

obstruction of justice, one!

This isn't about you!

Joon-su's life's at stake!

TWo!

Dammit! Just think of me

as your driver.

I can save you some time,

I drive quite well.

- Three!

- It's 30N!

Moron...

- 32N, then?

- No, it's 32M.

M?

No, maybe it was 32N?

32N or M?

- 32N or M...

- Or it was 32L?

- Son of a b*tch!

- 32N?

The owner is named Jang-ho,

45 years old.

He owns a bar called 'WHO',

and lives in

Bundang Town Village #102.

What's up?

Yeah, b*tch,

good work.

What a f***ing moron...

You see?

Lap of luxury.

Without me, you'd be driving,

making calls and taking notes.

Where should we go first?

His place or the bar?

Fine, I'll let you have this one.

But keep your mouth shut

and just drive, okay?

Don't wanna?

Then get off.

Get the hell off!

Let's go to his place first.

What is it?

- Hello.

- Police, ma'am.

Are you Jang-ho's wife?

Did he do something?

No, we just want to talk to him.

Is he inside?

- He went to China 3 days ago.

- China...

- For what reason?

- On business.

- When will he be back?

- 2 weeks.

I see.

Let's go.

He can't treat me like that.

Why're you so worked up?

Not at all.

Whatever.

Did Joon-su really kill her?

Since you brought it up.

Can I close shop for a week?

What?

I think he's being framed.

I gotta conduct

my own investigation.

A real person died,

this is a murder case!

I gotta do something.

He could rot in jail.

Are you a detective?!

I'm the chairman of

Online Profiling Club,

and blogger of a major

online cold case cafe!

I'll smack you!

You'll wake the kids.

If you ever close shop,

we are finished.

Fine, just 5 days.

Okay, 3 days.

Okay, good talk!

Are you nuts?!

Will you starve the kids?

Fine! Fine!

I won't do it!

Seriously!

After closing shop,

I'll investigate at night,

is that okay?

I don't care!

I'm so sick of it!

Hong-ji, I told you earlier,

no crying!

Her mom's sick,

so I had no choice.

Wait for me!

You Okay?

What the hell happened?

Loansharks and the condo?

It's what you heard.

How much debt?

Yong-gyu doesn't know exact amount.

With a huge interest,

their house may be auctioned off.

I heard you met the victim

that night.

Yes.

Tell me in detail.

Will you really hide this

from Yong-gyu?

I have to.

Until the divorce.

It must be eating him up,

if he can't even talk to me.

So what?

I thought you didn't want

the divorce anymore.

Why should I break the law

to help you?

We all make mistakes.

Will you raise the kid

without a father for this?

If he declares bankruptcy,

and I stop the collectors,

he can get out of it.

Thanks anyway.

When did she leave?

Between 10 and 11,

not sure about exact time.

No, 10 at the latest.

How'd you know that?

I'll explain later.

Who'd try to frame you?

I don't know.

I first suspected the loansharks,

but that doesn't sound right.

If they were after the money,

they wouldn't kill.

Heard of a bar owner

named Jang-ho?

No, sir.

Someone out there is

trying to frame you.

Think of something!

Your time is up.

Dae-man.

Please give him the letter.

Make sure he gets

all the support he needs.

What a load of sh*t.

Look after your ass first!

Yeah, talk to me!

Go on!

I looked into Jang-ho's

flight records,

he never left,

let alone have Chinese visa.

Do something about her!

Got any milk in the car?

Dammit!

There, there!

Where you going?

To see Jang-ho.

He lied to his wife about China,

why'd he meet a cop?

Get back in!

No wonder your wife

treats you like a slave.

Are you talking about me?

You don't know me at all.

Do you know

what my friends call me?

What, babysitter?

'The Last Emperor'.

Even your kid is laughing at that,

look at her.

How badly did she castrate you,

so that you help

housework?

And you never

helped out your wife?

Not even washing dishes?

What's that?

You do the dishes too?

Neutered idiot.

What is that stench?

Did she poop?

I knew this was my off year,

but this has to be a new low.

- Take her for a bit.

- Hey! Hey!

Where you going?!

I forgot diapers,

I'll go buy some.

No crying-

Goddamn you!

Come on, get back in!

So loud and nasty!

- Got any baby wipes?

- No at all!

Hold still, sweetie!

Hold still,

you'll get poop on...

What a stench!

Do you feed her beans

and yams or something?

If I ever see you again,

you're dead!

That's some serious stench!

I can't breathe...

Do something about the diaper,

toss it or something!

- Why you bastard!

- You said to toss it!

There! There!

- Over there!

- Shut your hole!

Why were you at

Mrs. Han' s that night'?

We became acquaintances

while shopping around for land.

She begged for me to

sell her my lot.

I was sick of it,

so I sold it to her.

A few months later,

an apartment went up there.

She kept ignoring my calls,

so I went to see her.

She's bugging me

even after death.

And then?

She wasn't home.

And?

And what?

I came back home.

What time did you go?

10, maybe?

I had an appointment at 11.

With who?

Must I fess up my personal affairs?

Got a warrant?

Who was it?

Dunno.

Don't remember.

Who was it, a**hole.

My sweetie burped!

Who are you people?

Are you really cops?

Don't kid around,

we know who he met.

How'd we know...

Hey miss, come sit down.

Stop burning coffee beans.

Hey, please come

while I use nice words.

Now!

This was captured that night

en route down south.

I lied to my wife,

to spend some time with her...

I'm sorry,

please don't tell my wife.

Wait, something was off that night.

As I said before,

no one was home.

But when I came down,

I saw someone inside.

- Someone was there?

- Yeah.

Not one, but two.

How did you know?

Know what?

About the barista.

His bar is called 'WHO',

and the cafe is 'WHO IS',

and the barista had

an unease look on her face.

Which means...

Understand?

Anyway, who could

those 2 people be?

What an idiot.

Obviously, it's the victim,

and the killer!

No, the victim wasn't home.

What?

Jang-ho left there

no later than 10:30.

He was spotted driving

at 11:
12.

He couldn't have seen the victim.

Listen to your sh*t,

on what basis?

You really don't know?

Come on,

you're an Academy grad.

You wanna play, eh?

Remember what you said earlier?

That Joon-su and the victim

parted before 10.

Yup.

I got you.

Gileum district to her place is

5-minute drive.

- That's right, I live there.

- Just listen, a**hole.

They parted before 10

and Jang-ho left at 10:30.

They're 5-minute drive apart.

And Jang-ho couldn't have

met the victim?

Isn't that odd?

Maybe it's just me.

Speak, before I cover
