- You took her pictures.

- No

Don't play hard ball.

You took her pictures!

She asked me to.

Cut the crap!

She brought us pictures you took

and told us everything.

She asked me to!

She was so serious I agreed.

It wasn't porn.

I took nude pictures of her.

Is that a crime?

Nude?

You took nude pictures of her?

So you're telling me

JI Kyung-hee

asked you to take pictures

of her in the nude?

Look, Detective.

I have a family.

Honestly, it's embarrassing...

to even be here.

Kyung-hee, right?

I think she had a crush on me.

I'm sorry.

I was testing my camera.

Why didn't you tell me?

I could've been your model.

Anything wrong?

You memorized my name

and phone number!

Of course you come

every week!

Why'd you take pictures

of your feet?

Of all the pictures,

she showed so much interest

in my nude ones.

Why'd you keep going back?

You're a man.

Put yourself in my shoes.

She's pretty and mysterious.

It's not a bad thing for a girl

to be aggressive.

So I kind of enjoyed it.

You play at a concert hall,

and I sing at a basement cafe.

We've turned out so differently.

- Tomato juice?

- For her.

Coffee is mine.

Thanks.

Why not drinking it?

It's pretty good.

Try it.

You're seeing Ki-hoon lately?

Change the subject.

I've had enough.

With what?

- Ka-hee, please...

- Please what?

Tell me.

You like the way you live?

Didn't you tell me?

Taking pictures frees your soul...

...like a little boy.

Please.

She said her husband was

out of town

and asked me to take pictures

of her in the nude.

I thought it was too much

so I refused at first.

Then again, I sometimes hire

a professional model,

and she was volunteering.

So you did?

Mind giving me one?

Don't you like the thrill?

I do.

Getting there...

is more fun than being there.

Don't you have that experience?

F***ing is good,

but the feeling after you come...

I didn't sleep with her.

- Talk to me.

- Yes Sir.

It's true he was at the library.

His library card confirms it.

What if he lent it to someone?

Keep digging for witnesses.

And check out his wife too.

- Yes Sir

- Okay.

What now?

You know what?

It's quite boring

sitting alone at the studio.

He started keeping me company...

and I was glad.

Even thankful.

That was the beginning.

Hands at first.

Then the shoulders.

What do you think

it meant?

Maybe...

He wanted to sleep with me.

Tell him about our rule.

One more for the loser!

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Come on!

You lost! One more shot!

Sorry about that.

Give it here.

- Captain

- What?

Let me drink just beer.

Shut up.

You don't mix liquor.

But once you do,

you go all the way.

Take a note!

Whoever finishes last

gets one more.

- Okay

- Sure.

Ka-hee.

It's me.

Finger on the pad please,

Try again please,

Finger on the pad please,

Try again please,

What the...

Ka-hee!

It's me! Open the door!

Ka-hee!

It isn't easy for me either.

I can't even buy you

the ring you want so badly.

Su-hyun got an abortion

without me knowing.

So open the goddamn door!

Open it!

It's me!

- Su-hyun, I...

- Please.

I want a divorce.

Gosh, you waited...

for too long.

I'm so sorry.

Let me.

I'm so sorry.

Just so many customers!

What kind of style...

- Sister.

- Yes?

Where's Hyuk-ju?

Who is...

Where's Hyuk-ju?

I don't know. I swear!

Where can I find him?

I really don't know.

I miss him too!

Name's OH Yeon-shim.

They met at the bar.

Hyuk-ju is crazy about her.

Where can I find her?

I'm not sure.

I heard she works at a cafe

called Purte.

I met the studio owner

through my boss.

He offered to buy me...

an apartment if I gave him a child.

It wasn't killing a baby,

but giving life to one.

But Hyuk-ju completely lost it

when I told him.

I didn't get it.

I'd be carrying the baby, not him!

What the f***...

it seems there is

nobody that she meets?

What about the photos then?

Kyung-hee I love you?

I have all the evidences

You f***-head!

Can't you do anything right?

I was trying to be nice

on you for Yeon-sim

Sh*t-heads like you...

and a hoe Yeon-sim,

that b*tch...

you are all

retarded a**holes

I met him later that day.

Watching 'Kisses' on TV,

he said out of the blue...

I smashed his f***ing head.

Yeah... No...

Didn't you used to run the show

in the morning?

I see.

Thanks.

Estimated time of death?

The line is busy...

Should we break up?

God damn it!

Let's eat out tonight.

I'm getting off early.

Let me have some of yours.

Oh this!

Shoes for our baby.

They're pink.

I think I want a girl now.

I bought you a doll but...

forgot to get it out of the trunk.

You'll like it.

Bye.

A Letter of Commendation

This commendation is for

your determination...

with patriotism and commissions to...

control violence and drugs

crimes in the country

You look great in uniform.

- You look good too.

- Thank you

- Congratulations, Captain.

- Thanks.

- Uh... Captain?

- Yeah

Should I take one of you?

Oh, he's Detective CHO?

Hi, the real Detective CHO.

Sometimes, I'm Detective CHO too.

Mind taking a picture?

- Of us together.

- Sure

One, two...

Pretty good.

Wanna go in there?

Motel

We need to talk.

You got a commendation.

It's your day.

Let's not waste it

in a dim motel room.

I have something to tell you.

It's my birthday.

Don't say anything to ruin it.

Happy Birthday.

You didn't remember!

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday, Dear Ka-hee

Happy Birthday to you.

No birthday present?

- What'd you do that for?

- I don't know...

- This is fun.

- Come on, it's not.

- Stay still!

- Does it hurt?

- Move your leg a bit.

- Okay now?

- A little more.

- There?

Lucky it's not so cold

It would be terrible

if it was winter

We won't die in here

like this won't we?

Don't talk like that

We are not far away

from the main road

What would people say

when they open up the trunk?

Your trousers are half open...

and my skirt is up to the waist

What is this?

Should I strip you?

Stay still

- Keep still

- It hurts

Can you move your legs?

You see anything?

Never been in here before.

Hold this for me.

F***! Its hot!

What for?

You gonna shot?

What's this?

I can't breathe.

God damn it!

He stayed out last night.

No, not a single word.

Okay, thanks.

Recoil...

If we're found dead,

we'll make the news, won't we?

What would they call it?

The end of a dirty liaison?

Magazine...

No.

Some might think

we chose to die together.

- Slide...

- Dearest Captain...

Commits double suicide with a singer...

Ka-hee.

Do me a favor.

Move your hand.

"Kisses"4:
05

Estimated time of death?

What about 'Kisses'!

So after killing HAN,

hyuk-joo went into the motel...

and saw 'kisses' with yeon-sim

thats 4:
05!

But estimated time

of death is at 5!

We have to get out.

Can we?

I am going to

We have to!

Don't wanna die like this?

Don't worry.

The world will pity us.

Not everyone can die

this tragically.

Stop talking about dying!
