It wasn't me!
I didn't kill her!
I didn't!
You believe me,
how could I?
How could I've killed her?
Yong-gyu!
It wasn't me!
Let's go.
We called his bluff.
Did you all see that?
That's what you get
if you don't wise up.
Noh, you should a confiscated
junk food, like I asked.
A promise is a promise,
return your badge by tomorrow.
30 years?
30 f***ing years?!
How is that bastard Lee
not the killer?
Please say something!
Where you going?
Where!
Let's get Lee,
he must know something.
Lee's near Dongjak bridge.
- Surveillance team
What exactly are we leaving out?
Neither of them are the killers?
Then why tell us
time of death?
why?
What if there were
more than 2?
Huh?
Arrests
Other tutors work
even on the weekends,
how could you always
skip lessons?
I know it's hard being
a working mother,
so just raise your kids.
Detective Conan is on...
So?
Why isn't dad home?
We gotta watch it together.
This is really amazing.
What is?
While looking at this list,
I replayed all cases in my head.
If this was a detective novel,
what's the hidden truth?
Go on.
To start at the end,
there'll be one more victim.
What?
Before end of the night.
- Han Tae-woong, him?
- His wife.
I finally understand
why they told us the time.
Our 2 cases, Laina and the witness,
they all feel unrelated.
But 1 suspect overlaps,
and another was involved in all 4.
Who'd that be?
Det. Ma.
Him again?
Heard of 'murder exchange'?
Murder exchange?
It's a trick used in detective novels,
it's about swapping targets.
For example, Lee wants to
kill the witness
but he can't, why?
If she's killed,
he'd be the prime suspect.
And someone proposes
murder exchange.
'I'll kill her for you,
so find yourself an alibi.'
'And later on,
kill someone for me'.
So det. Ma instigated it?
Why'd a busy cop contact
a foreign prostitute endlessly?
Rescuing her from sex trade?
F*** that,
it was an affair, 100%.
He fell for a bar girl
a few years ago...
Okay, let's say that's true.
A year later, Ma plans
another murder exchange.
Why?
To kill his cheating wife.
So why give away
time of death?
Everything's simple
once you know why.
Murder exchange is done
to establish an alibi.
- And to use the alibi...
- Give away time of death.
The exact moment of murder.
2 murder exchanges
1 year apart.
Okay, I'll bite.
You mentioned another murder.
Right.
Mrs. Han and Yang are
already dead.
With 2 bodies down,
murder exchange is over.
That's what we missed.
Our investigation was messed up
because we assumed 2 killers.
This was a murder exchange
between 3 people.
3 killers, 3 victims.
2 of them go for the kill,
while the 3rd makes an alibi.
Bullshit! 2's enough for
murder exchange, why 3?!
Laina fell into the stream
by accident,
an unexpected witness pops up,
and killing her left
hair sample behind.
And to commit the perfect crime,
they worked as a duo?
Yes.
Since they're not pro killers,
it was impossible to do it perfectly.
Enough. This is turning into
a bad soap opera.
Aren't you curious?
Whom Ma recruited?
- One's Jang-ho.
- The adulterer?
And?
The other is Han Tae-woong.
- Come on.
- He's the one.
Han Tae-woong, 42,
assaulted wife and stepson
for meeting her ex.
From here on,
shut your mouth.
You got a knack for
choosing the wrong perp.
Lee Yuno,
1-46 southbound
First condition for establishing
murder exchange is...
I said stop!
Uncover the murderous intent
that's hidden deep inside.
It's obvious that Ma'd choose
criminals he arrested.
On his list,
only Han is AB.
That's your cause for suspicion?
Ma knows Han wants to kill,
easily accessible,
there's no better partner
than Han for this.
He was locked up the day after
Ma's wife was killed.
Lee is just a pawn,
and Han lives in Bomun district,
so u-turn here!
Make a u-turn!
Tonight may be my last night
as a detective.
I still got a chance
to solve this case.
And you expect me
to believe your sh*t?
Moron...
Look, Han may be
set free tomorrow.
His wife dies tonight,
he walks out of jail tomorrow.
Isn't that the perfect alibi?
There's no time!
If you miss this chance,
who'll turn this case around?!
My friend and your partner
will go to jail for 30 years!
All right, so who'll
carry out the kill tonight?
Han's in jail now,
so it's gotta be Ma and Jang-ho.
Who killed Ma's wife?
Jang-ho and Han.
And Yong-gyu's wife?
Ma and Han, of course!
Okay, if you answer me
I'll turn this car around.
But if you can't,
get off.
Fine, ask away.
Why was Jang-ho seen at
Han's crime scene?
He's supposed to find an alibi,
so why was he there?
An hour before the murder
took place, no less.
Why was he there?
Answer me!
- Let me think for a bit.
- Answer me!
Let me just think!
- Get off.
- Give me a sec.
- Get off!
- One sec.
Dammit!
Why was he there?
Get the hell off!
You did all you can,
this is the end.
Great work.
Big bro!
Oh yeah, Dae-man.
Call me later,
I'll buy you a drink.
Nice shot!
Power outage?
It's scary.
Why's this open?
- Who would...
- Sir!
I'm leaving.
- Good luck tomorrow.
- Okay.
Still here?
What the...
Honey, I'll be right back.
- Who is it?
- ls your mom here?
Mom went to meet clad,
my real dad.
Where is she heading?
Have to meet now?
Might rain.
You got a new message
Have to meet now?
Might rain.
It's urgent.
Get here ASAP!
Wait! Ma'am!
Wait! Wait!
Hey!
Stop! Stop!
- Are you nuts?!
- U-turn!
Grab another cab,
I need to go fill up!
Sir, please just go!
Please... Just answer...
The White Shark
Die, you bastard!
You know the killer.
Who is it?
Who killed the girls?
Who asked you to kill me?
Tell me!
You laugh?
After causing that stink?
Buddy, you gotta clean up
your own mess.
If this plan fails,
I'll kill you myself.
Are you okay?
Yong-gyu...
Dae-man...
- Dae-man, it's been a while.
- Hey, what's up?
We went drinking.
With who?
Me!
- Please get out of here.
- I drank with him!
- Will you stop that?
- He and I drank!
It was you?
Not Jang-ho?
You used me as your alibi...
Let's just have
one more drink.
When the wife dies,
the husband is the killer.
What...
have you done?
What have you done,
goddammit?!
Here alone?
Of course not, cops are
surrounding this place.
To be fair for us all,
you need to kill too.
Snap out of it and kill her.
I'll take care of him.
Go on, kill her!
Help me.
Cops are plastered!
Where?
Where?
I'm the cop!
No!
You see?
It's nothing at all.
No point of regretting.
We've crossed
the point of no return.
Remember.
You're not killing a stranger,
you're killing your own wife.
Who are you?
Please!
All right,
let's get this over with!
No!
Why did you do it!
Good afternoon.
Hello, there.
Busy?
Joon-su
I knew about it all.
They met in secrecy,
and he bought a place
to live together...
Don't you know Joon-su?
He did all that for you!
For your sake!
