your face with her sh*t.

- Do you even have a GED?

- You little sh*t!

She had a job too,

so she left the baby at her shop.

And?

How was the baby there

at the scene of the crime?

Yong-gyu and I went

drinking till 3 AM.

So who could've

brought back the baby?

After parting with Joon-su,

she went to the shop,

which'd take about an hour.

Understand?

Dammit...

You're not considering

one thing, a**hole!

What?

What if the baby was

already at home?

How can a newborn

be at home alone?!

One must be open to

all possibilities!

You can't just make assumptions!

Look who's talking!

'Husband is always the killer'?

Isn't that an assumption?!

Shut your hole

and direct me to the shop.

I dunno, Joon-su only

mentioned it once.

Don't pretend to know sh*t,

and shut that baby up!

Yes, she was here at 11 PM

to pick up the baby.

If what Jang-ho said was true,

there were 2...

They were already inside,

to kill her.

Maybe it was you two.

Come on!

The killer is...

Come out here!

I'm coming! I'm coming!

What?!

Did you put on

a fashion show inside?

- How is it?

- Are you serious?

- No.

- Go mix some formula!

You called me out for that?!

Definitely not for your breast milk!

Oh yeah, how do you know

det. Noh?

Who?

He's our shop regular.

Did you...?

With the baby?

Speak some sense!

I guess.

How do you know him?

He's my students' dad.

Oh, Red Pen student?

I need to get him

a pair of rubber gloves.

He bickers whenever

he has to wash dishes.

It reminded me of you.

- What do you mean?

- I feel so bad.

His wife abuses him so badly that

even I feel bad for him.

You should feel lucky

to live with me!

Indeed!

Weird, where's that stench

coming from?

Where the heck could it be?

Man...

What a nut job...

Cops and burgers go

hand-in-hand.

Moron...

There's a hole in Jang-ho's alibi.

- There isn't one.

- There is.

Nope.

The victim's wristwatch.

Time of her death and

her watch match perfectly.

So use your hole to chew!

Not time, but location.

What if the killer moved her body

after killing her?

Then adjust the time,

and smash the watch?

If he used this trick,

Jang-ho's alibi is voided.

Why would he move the body

to a crowded apartment?!

Maybe there's a reason.

Shut up!

In Sherlock Holmes adventures,

which I read religiously,

he once said,

"When you've eliminated the impossible,

whatever remains must be the truth".

Shut up, a**hole!

Listen to me!

Do you know what type

of killer is hardest to catch?

The one who kills on a whim

and takes off.

Why? The more you plan,

the more evidence there is.

Reading a few detective novels

make you a detective?

Not even close, moron.

No food in the car.

You don't know sh*t.

How about taking that raincoat off?

No rain in sight.

"Raincoat"?

Bought it at a corner store?

$5, I'm guessing?

I almost forgot,

I brought you a gift.

It's x-large,

it'll be comfy.

Why give me a woman's item?

My wife's a Red Pen tutor,

she wanted you to have it.

Why do you keep eating

kids' snack!

Expensive yogurts being

wasted on you.

Honey, the tutor's here.

You peed standing up again?!

So nasty!

I'm sick of it!

Sorry.

Ma'am, I'll head home now...

Sure, good bye.

Good bye.

I'd love to do the dishes,

but it's impossible.

These gloves don't fit.

Please restraint yourself.

Dad, do it without gloves!

Ma'am, that'll do for today.

Kids, go play outside.

Wait! Wait!

It fits!

It's stretchy!

Remember what you said to me?

"Neutered idiot"...

No chores, eh?

Where you going?

Come back!

Wait for me!

Where are you?

I'm collecting overdue books,

leave Hong-ji with the baker.

Okay.

You take me for a fool?

Yeah, the baker's not in?

You're so dead!

You be ready!

Hello? The connection's bad.

Hello? Hello?

Thank you Mrs. Red Pen

for the rubber gloves!

Hey!

How did you end up like that?

All women are carnivores.

They were herbivores at first,

but with marriage,

their true self surfaces.

How long have you

been married?

6 years.

Then she must be

a wildcat by now.

Your wife?

She's tiger,

a ferocious one.

Why must we live like this?

When you die,

go ask God.

Our fathers' generation

wasn't so bad.

Sure it was,

because the wages were better.

So it's all about the money.

Can we live harmoniously

with carnivores?

No way.

I feel so close to you

all of sudden.

I don't hate you as much.

Can we be blood brothers?

Call me, big bro.

Big bro!

Yeah, speak.

What?

Murder?

Who was it!

Tell me!

This cannot be!

Please, no!

- Afternoon, sir.

- What's with him?

The victim is det. Ma's wife.

This way.

Her name is Yang Mina.

She owned this ceramics studio.

She was discovered

inside the kiln.

This looks like her cellphone,

I found it, sir.

Photo taken at 1:15 AM.

Why'd the killer take this?

And I brought this

just in case.

It's a list of arrests

made by det. Ma.

Come on.

Mr. Kang, you can't be here.

- I came with him.

- I know, I know.

Come on!

- This way to the crime scene?

- Yes, go on.

- What's over there?

- Studio's backdoor.

- Wait, wait, wait.

- No, no, no.

No way.

Stop, Mr. Kang!

This door is one-way.

It only opens from

inside the studio.

So?

If she was killed elsewhere

and moved to the kiln,

front entrance CCTV should've

captured something.

And this blood?

The killer could've

smudged it on the way out!

- And that?

- What about it?

Who are you?

She was killed here,

look at that splatter.

Why else would

that blood be here?

Mr. Kang, please leave!

I'm Joon-su's friend,

show me some respect!

Buddy, follow me.

This was done by

the same killers.

How so?

There were needle-like

blood marks,

which was a result of

blunt trauma.

She was killed in the parking lot.

And there were 2 killers?

Right.

One killed her in the parking,

the other was inside the studio.

2 murder cases with 2 killers

in the last 10 days.

There's something else.

Also, both women lived nearby

until early this year.

In the same apartment.

Still suspect Jang-ho?

Move the body to her apartment?

You're nothing

but a motor mouth!

Start the car, idiot!

Hey! Stop!

Holy cow!

You weren't asleep?

Is it fun playing a cop?

LS it?

Don't you wanna throw away

everything and run away?

Right?

No, not at all.

Well, I want to.

If it weren't for the kids.

Come sit down for a bit.

I'll give you a massage.

I won't do stupid stuff.

Please come sit.

Let's go, Gun-woo.

Honey, I'll help out

with chores too.

Baby, go straight home

and rest, okay?

I'll do everything!

Gun-woo.

It's all up to you now.

- Why aren't you talking to him?

- He's not worth talking to.

Why?

He's a dad but

doesn't act like one.

But I saw him cry earlier.

What?

Dad, are you crying?

Am not.

Yes you are.

Gun-woo, I really love

your mother.

But I'm sad that

I can't make her happy.

I promise, I'll make her

the happiest woman on earth!

- He's so cool!

- Of course not!

That damn trickster!

Hurry!

Who are you?
