- Absolutely sure?

- Yes, I am.

Okay, let's go.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

- Wait! Stop!

- Why?

Where'd that bastard go?

- Who?

- Jung-ho.

Damn it.

There's that bastard.

Hey!

Come to the office!

- Okay.

- You better come!

Okay!

Owner:
Kwon Hae-gab

Damn bastard.

Hey.

Hey!

- Me?

- Yeah, you.

What did you kill the girls with?

With a chisel.

The ones to crack stones?

Yes.

- Is that right?

- Yes,

it was a narrow

blunt instrument.

Okay.

I need to pee really bad.

Let me out.

Shut up.

Or else I'll yank your dick out.

Detective.

What?

Kim Mi-jin is probably still alive.

What's he talking about?

Kim Mi-jin.

The girl that guy was looking for.

Where is she now?

In Anyang city?

Why?

Why would the victim be there?

Wait, stop the car.

That's just his address on paper.

He lives in Mangwon district.

That's where I caught him.

Bastard hangs up the phone

before I'm finished.

Car registration

Who is it?

Do you know this man?

No.

These keys?

I don't know.

Look carefully.

It's the first time I've seen it.

Where did they go?

They were going to some meeting,

but I don't remember.

Yanpyung 11a.m.

Yangpyung?

Yes, I think so.

Yangpyung is...

Anyway, they must've past

the corner store.

What took you so long, idiot?

What happened?

What about Mi-jin?

I couldn't find her.

What?

See that store

across the street?

- Yes.

- See that alley next to it?

- Yes.

- So,

Search every house from there

to this address with this.

- What is this?

- Find houses

with basements,

where the cell phone wouldn't work.

Where is this house?

Come here.

- See that top over there?

- Yes.

Where the hell

are you looking, idiot?

That top over the cross.

Yes.

Right there.

Why don't we just report it?

They know already.

Then why

go through the trouble?

Just do what I say, a**hole.

We have to find Mi-jin.

I got it.

Search every corner!

Okay!

Sh*t.

If you make an arrest

without a warrant,

you need approval by

a prosecutor within 12 hours.

Yes.

What if it isn't approved?

We have to release him.

Sh*t.

Where are you?

It's already two.

What have you been doing?

Why'd you go to Mangwon

after Anyang city?

Then you should've dropped off

the sh*t thrower.

Sit down.

So did you hit them with a chisel

or hammer them with it?

Used the hammer, of course.

Give me your hand.

Relax.

Why'd you kill them like that?

I choked them and used knives,

but they were too painful.

I saw how pigs were killed

and did the same.

And then?

- Hang them on the wall.

- What?

Yes?

Hang what?

Their bodies, of course.

Say ah.

And then?

You know that muscle

behind the ankles?

- The Achilles tendon?

- Yes.

I slice it with a knife.

- Of the dead body?

- Yes.

Why?

To drain out the blood.

Otherwise they're too heavy to lift.

That's right.

That's how

the corpses get lighter.

So what did you do next?

Leave it around for a day,

drain out all the blood and mess.

Then I ax the bodies

and bury them.

Where?

Yes?

Where'd you bury

the dead bodies?

Here and there.

Here and there is where?

Tell me exactly.

Well...

You wouldn't have buried

nine people in your front yard.

Not nine.

What?

It's twelve.

Why twelve? Wasn't it nine?

Come to think of it,

it was twelve.

Are you kidding me?

Gil-woo!

Just tell us what you remember.

You're doing well.

I was driving

and the Equus popped out.

It slammed into my car,

and this rat was driving.

That's why you beat him?

No, I held on to him

and called 4885.

- And his phone is...

- Hey.

Just answer what I ask you.

So you beat him, right?

It was you

who messed up his face, right?

What are you doing?

Yes? Now?

Yes, sir.

The chief wants to see you.

Testimony

First, press your finger.

Go to Mi-jin's house?

Yes, go with him.

- Why?

- To do a DNA test

on the blood

on his shirt and her samples.

So you actually believe

what this bastard's saying?

Hey! Just go!

I doubt this bastard killed anyone.

Just search the neighborhood.

Hey! Jung-ho!

Give me a break.

Does it taste delicious,

you bastard!

Why do you keep hitting him?

Is this time to eat chocolate?

Hey! Jung-ho!

Bastard.

Is it true that the suspect

threw human feces?

Have you identified

the suspect?

Almost there.

Turn right and go straight?

Straight in?

Steps?

Downstairs?

The first one?

Okay.

Anybody home?

Anybody there?

Of course nobody's here.

What shall we do now?

Let's go to

the owner's house.

Move, move.

What is that?

You scared me.

You should've answered

if you were inside.

- Is this the police?

- Hey, you!

Strangers are breaking in.

Mapo-gu Sangsoo-dong 21-15.

They're coming inside!

Give it to me.

Who the hell are you?

I'm asking you.

Are you Mi-jin's daughter?

This place is a mess.

What are you doing here?

Go stay over there.

Why are you

taking someone's hair?

You little prick, go away.

Why are you taking her hair?

Aren't you going to sleep?

You go to sleep.

You're just like your mom.

What about my mom?

You little brat.

All done. So what now?

Leave, of course.

What's your name?

Take it.

Call me

if you get into any trouble.

Let's go.

Damn it.

According to witnesses,

Bastard made me

lose my appetite.

Where's my mom?

She's working.

Then why'd you take her hair?

For a DNA test?

You're unbelievable.

My mom isn't working now,

is she?

Something happened to her?

Don't you have

somewhere to go?

How much did you search?

I'll be there soon,

so search around some more.

Also, do you know anyone

who can look after a kid?

Okay, bye.

Look behind you!

Is there a cigarette?

Yes.

Get back there.

Throw it out the window.

Is it gone?

Yes.

Is there a burned mark?

Yes.

Damn it, nothing's helping me.

What a day.

You called my mom before,

right?

Didn't you ask my mom

to go to work tonight?

I'll send you back home

if you keep bothering me.

Filth.

What did you say?

What? Filth?

Get out!

The Mapo murders

are also included.

But who's this woman

that's alive?

He seems to be lying.

She's probably been murdered.

Except for the Mapo murders,

they were killed at his house

and you can't find the bodies?

No, sir.

If you don't know the address,

it means

you don't know anything.

The suspect can't remember

the address,

but we can find it quickly

if we start searching in the morning.

Why aren't his motives

written down?

He kept on talking gibberish.

No particular motivation.

Then make one up!

What the hell is this?

Yes, sir.

You know

the situation we're in?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

We die if we blow this.

Get this right

if you want to keep yourjobs.

So that the mayor's incident

shuts up, okay?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Who is it?

The police. Open the door.

Sit down.

Sit comfortably.

Yes.

Lady.

How can a sister

not know where her brother lives?

We really don't know.

We haven't seen him

for a long time.

How long?

About three years.

Where did he live then?

In prison, right?

Yes, in prison.

What a screwed-up family.
