Less murder cases these days.
Nice weather, perhaps?
About the Jilgok District case...
Got to catch one of those two guys...
But the Chief and Team One won't listen.
Then what?
We should catch them.
- We? - Yeah.
You and me.
So G-goo came on his own,
wanting a refund of a prepaid card?
Right. We don't normally do that.
But I told him I'd ask my boss, and then texted you.
You did great.
It's been ages since you showed me the photo,
but I recognized him just like that!
Did he say he'd come back?
Oppa Internet Café
Do you enjoy ditching me and driving home for the weekend?
How is this "you and me"?
If I were married, too...
- You dozed off again? - Why'd you stop talking?
Talk more.
This is why you should sleep at night.
It's dangerous!
You're always on stakeout, so you can't get sleep.
It's not that I can't sleep because of stakeout.
I do stakeout because I can't sleep.
You should've caught G-goo and San-O then.
Youngest Ever Reactor Operator Do many kids stay at the dorm on weekends?
He's busy with the Math Olympiad.
He's just a middle school student...
He's a science nerd like me. I totally understand him.
I'm telling you, just buy sushi.
I don't like eating any old sushi.
At least while I'm home, I should feed you real food.
Can't you transfer to Ipo?
So I can eat this every day?
I told you about June, who works next to me?
Who fusses over me, but is really just envious?
June said,
"Six out of ten weekend marriages end in divorce, are you okay?"
So what did you say?
"55% of sexless marriages end in divorce, are you okay?"
DECISION
DECISION TO LEAVE
After climbing up that rope there,
he must've fallen from the top,
bouncing on his way down.
Up there,
then there,
down there,
to here.
Expensive earphones...
10:02, Monday.
We'd better go up.
Is a chopper coming, then?
We could've walked up the back,
why do it this way?
It's the path the dead man took. And we're the police!
Then should we bounce down three times, like he did?
Why does anyone need to climb rocks like this?
Shouldn't it be illegal?
Damn it!
Thank you.
Identification Card Ki Do-soo
Ki Do-soo, 60. Initials on all his things.
Sign of possessiveness?
Drinks whiskey.
Stay away from there!
He used to work at the immigration office,
but after retiring he stayed on as a part-time interviewer.
It's on!
His daughter's a beauty.
Think you'll unlock it that way?
Your father is here.
I am Mr. Ki Do-soo's wife, Song Seo-rae.
I'm Chinese, my Korean is insufficient.
You must be quite shocked.
I worry when he does not come back from a mountain.
Thinking he might die at last.
At last...
Your Korean's better than mine.
I'd love to know the pattern.
Not shocked at her husband's death.
Quite a shocking wife.
Tell her an autopsy is standard
for an unaccountable death without witnesses.
Use easy words.
I doubt my wife would be shocked, either.
She'd say, "I knew it."
"That's why I didn't want to marry a cop."
When a person dies for no clear reasons with no one around,
opening the body to look inside is standard...
No... what we should do.
Is that easy enough?
Make it easier.
I told her to report it, that broken ribs are no laughing matter.
But then she just laughed again.
He's the neat, orderly type.
He hit her only in places where it doesn't show.
Wait, the mouse please...
What did he look like in the mountain?
Shall I tell it to you in words, or in photos?
Words.
Okay.
Photos.
We found him with eyes open. Can you handle it?
A lacerated scalp was the cause of death.
His head bone was broken, that's why he died.
He must've bled a lot, but the rain washed it away, fortunately.
He perished as he wished.
Is "perished" correct?
Did you see her laugh?
He was a very neat man.
Now I've nowhere to go.
Leave me to die.
So heartless of you.
Am I so wicked?
- We're good, right? - Yeah.
We've been good all these 16 years, 8 months?
Are you counting? Science nerd, for sure.
They say sex is good for blood pressure and heart disease.
New research says it's great for cognitive ability, too!
Wow, remarkable.
We need to do it every week.
Even when we hate each other.
- You heartless woman. - You heartless woman.
I know where your mind was before.
The Jilgok District case?
No.
A young Chinese woman died on the mountain.
I feel bad for her old husband.
Seo-rae visits a different elderly person's home each day of the week.
Granddaughter's Love Caregiving Service You said Monday?
Our patients cannot always express themselves well,
so we make a call to them,
At 9am...
This way!
So we can check if the caregiver's arrived, and so on.
Song Seo-rae...
On Mondays...
it's Granny Hae-dong!
And we called her that day.
Sorry, but if patients can't express themselves, do they answer the phone?
Then the caregiver answers!
How is Ms. Song's work performance?
The grannies all talk about her like this.
"Is she a caregiver, or my granddaughter?"
She was a nurse, so she's great at injections.
She's our company's ace.
That's a scary woman.
She took her ring off already.
If grief envelops some like a crashing wave,
there are some to whom it spreads slowly, like ink in water.
Tell me when your poetry book comes out, I'll buy a copy.
You don't know the bitterness of life.
Sure, weekends with your pretty wife must be so bitter.
Spending 12 hours a day at my desk on illegal entry cases is hard work.
But just the thought of scaling the rock face
makes my heart sing!
They found someone else's DNA under Ki Do-soo's fingernails.
We'll need an oral epithelial cell sample from his wife.
"Oral epithelial cell sample"?
How do I make that phrase easy?
Just thinking about it makes my stomach's epithelial cells ache.
Go eat lunch.
Nothing too expensive!
Another person's DNA was found under Ki Do-soo's fingernails.
We need you to come to the station now and give us your DNA.
I can't.
Why not?
I'm working.
Your husband died, but you're already back at work?
Living old people come before dead husbands.
I see.
But tailing is my specialty.
Your grandmother raised you, that's why it's your job.
Last Monday, what time did Song Seo-rae leave your home?
Siri, play me a song.
Jung Hoon-hee's "The Mist."
Isn't this song great?
Seo-rae put it on for me.
I walk alone
On the street
Filled with mist
Is that your silhouette?
I didn't think you could come.
Thank you.
Why do you like Seo-rae so much?
Because she's pretty?
She doesn't take half the apple off while peeling it.
I start praying on Friday night, for Monday to come quickly.
And sometimes Monday seems to come faster.
Siri, play me a song. Jung Hoon-hee's "The Mist".
Isn't this song great? Seo-rae put it on for me.
We fought.
He said, "Let's go to the mountain." I said I hate the mountain.
He scratched his wife for hating the mountain?
I'll call a female officer.
It's okay.
We need to take a photo.
It's okay.
I did it.
He just couldn't understand Korean.
After you hurt yourself, did he understand?
At last.
What did he say when you hurt yourself?
"You heartless woman."
Do-soo tried to stop me, like this...
So you're saying, that's why your DNA is under your husband's fingernails?
Do you hate mountains that much?
Confucius said,
wise people like water, benevolent people like mountains.
I am not benevolent. I like the sea.
Me too.
Sorry?
These are the dates you went to the emergency room?
Did he hit you then for not going to the mountain?
He was the solitary Korean person to listen to my story and cry.
What Korean person?
Soli... tary?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have laughed.
But your expression was so precise.
When I have no confidence in Korean, I laugh.
I'll order dinner.
Everything okay?
Thank you. Did you eat?
No.
Isn't that the Shima Sushi premium dinner set?
Is that covered?
Damn!
Follow me.
We'll be coming back.
It's waterproof.
"Waterproof" means if it gets wet, water won't come in.
Caregivers use many waterproof products.
Be back in that room by 6:50 p.m.
The women's restroom is that way, on the right.
On August 17, 2015,
the Coast Guard caught a group of Chinese nationals
stowed on a cargo ship at Pyeongtaek Port.
The other 37 were deported, but only you remained in Korea.
Because I'm different from them.
My grandfather
was Gye Bong-seok of the Korean Liberation Army in Manchuria.
What?
Thanks to Do-soo,
he got an Order of Merit for National Foundation.
Conferral of Nationality for Descendants of Independence Patriots
Me.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
G-goo showed up at Oppa Internet Café.
Send Ms. Song home, and check up on Gye Bong-seok and his medal.
Yup!
Oppa Internet Café
It puts me at ease, even if I don't use it.
G-goo!
Gye Bong-seok fought the Japanese coloni2ers in the mid-I930s.
As commander of the KLO's 3rd company,
he led 200 operations earning himself the nickname.
"The Leopard Cat of Manchuria."
Once as the Imperial Japanese Army was in retreat from Yanbian,
Gye felled commander Hara Renya and chewed off a part of his neck.
Hey, G-goo!
This is killing me!
Let go!
Let the knife go!
Let it go!
I said let go!
Why do you think it's so dark?
What are you doing?
Get up, now!
Why'd you fall down like that?
Get out.
It wasn't you, was it?
Fighting you, I can tell you can't kill someone.
It was San-O who killed Beom?
You guys will never catch San-O.
Why not?
His memories of juvie are just too beautiful.
He'll kill himself and a bunch of you rather than go to jail.
The suicidal type.
Didn't I tell you no brutality if you work with me?
He injured a policeman!
I injured it while hitting him!
Why carry a gun if you're too out of shape to run?
And don't do all the talking, make them talk!
Don't you listen to them a little too much?
Take Song Seo-rae.
We should've gotten a search warrant on her already.
Mee-jee, a true police officer, checked the CCTV.
Seo-rae was filmed going in and out of that granny's apartment.
Her alibi is solid.
Mee-jee, didn't you say San-O has a lot of women?
Make a list. When they dated and so on.
And find their current addresses.
Why should such a beautiful woman marry an old man in Korea?
If she's young, beautiful and foreign does that make her a murder suspect?
So you admit she's beautiful?
It's reverse discrimination.
What if she were not female, not foreign, just a Korean man?
Wouldn't you be staking her out?
Aren't stakeouts your hobby?
That and preaching.
Leaving the ice cream out,
sleeping uncomfortably with the TV still on.
Good morning.
Good morning!
What's with the pleasant greeting? You trying to confuse us?
I slept unusually well.
Another crow? To thank me for feeding you?
No need for that.
If you must give me a present,
bring me the head of that kind detective.
That's what I want.
Ice cream for dinner again.
Don't smoke after meals.
Crying... at last.
Good mor...
What?
Good morning, sir.
Are you still stuck on that Guso Mountain case?
Wrap it up quickly and move on to something bigger,
like the Jilgok District case!
God, he's stubborn.
You're wrapping up the Guso Mountain case?
What's this Chinese document?
The investigation's not finished.
But there's no reason to expect murder.
I want to go catch the Jilgok District murderer now.
Song Seo-rae is suspected of murder.
If she goes back to China, she'll get a life sentence.
I even got it translated and sent it to you.
How many of San-O's girlfriends did you meet?
Meet them all in two days and write up a report.
Damn it!
Hey!
Look at this, she killed her own mother!
What were you doing out in the cold?
Thinking how much I like the misty sea?
In Busan there's the sea, in Ipo there's the sea...
I'm just a man of the sea!
Man of the sea, my ass. You were born in downtown Seoul.
God, I want a cigarette.
Eliminate that dirty thought before it's too late!
I'll get some bell flower root. Chewing on it helped you quit.
Hi, June? It's me. Do you have any bell flower root?
My husband says he feels like smoking.
He must've forgotten how hard it was to quit.
Song Seo-rae
...thoughts
...thoughts?
...thoughts
...thoughts.
Tell me your thoughts.
Come to my home.
Are you kidding me?
You think you can order a cop to your house?
Don't you come here often anyway?
So you killed your mother?
Homi Mountain
is in your grandfather's hometown in Korea.
It belongs to him.
Go there, to your mountain.
After killing me first.
Mom,
the reason I became a nurse
was to care for you professionally.
Now you want me to kill you professionally, as a nurse?
So I did as she wished.
It took just four capsules of fentanyl.
And I kept four for myself.
Where is it? The fentanyl?
Open if you're curious.
Do-soo was suicide.
...accepted bribes from illegal aliens
...to get citizenship...
If you don't answer,
I will call the police.
Fine.
Mr. Ki Do-soo
was a man who for 20 years stared at people's faces and stamped passports,
with a blank expression.
He didn't have a single friend.
Why marry a man...
I spent ten days at sea
in the heat of summer in a fish storage bin.
My face was like a skull, smeared with feces.
I was rocking back and forth like a mad person.
He saw me,
he smelled me,
and he listened to me.
Does your wife know
whose home you stare into late at night?
"I cannot bear to live with this false charge of corruption.
"Whatever it takes, I will soon prove my innocence,
"and restore my honor."
It reads like a suicide note, so I should've told the police,
but to expose my former boss...
- I see. - I'm so sorry!
Suicide, you sure?
We got his suicide note!
You're as bad as those other damn cops!
Come on, he's our youngest-ever inspector.
If he's as bad as those other damn cops, I'll dance a jig.
Of course, killing her mom isn't proof she killed her husband.
But you said it once yourself.
Killing is like smoking.
Only the first time is hard.
Hello?
My apologies.
Hey, Soo-wan.
Soo-wan! Let's go.
Okay?
Come on, you idiot!
- Oh, hi! - Get up.
What happened here?
- Let's go. - Huh?
Our inspector may look like a pushover, but he's fierce.
- He'll catch you next time... - Hey, let's go.
So be wary when you kill your next husband.
Bro, your bag.
Never mind that, just come on!
Were my words easy enough?
I came all the way to Busan because I respect you.
Don't.
- Let me ask one thing. - Don't.
Why'd you buy her sushi?
Shut up!
Could you...?
The case is closed.
You're no longer a suspect.
Are you happy?
Why would I be?
Yes, I'm happy.
Why?
Well, now we no longer...
We?
Did you eat dinner?
Yes.
Ice cream?
This is the "solitary" Chinese food I can cook.
I do things at night because of insomnia.
Chinese for Beginners
"insomnia" means you can't sleep.
Unresolved cases. I never know when to take them down...
"Unresolved" means we didn't catch the criminal.
Unresolved...
Do ants eat people?
Oh, that...
The first to appear are the blowflies.
Whether it's day or night, they arrive in 10 minutes.
They consume blood or excretions, and lay eggs in any wound or orifice.
When maggots hatch, that's when the ants arrive to eat them.
After that are the beetles and wasps.
They all feast on the body.
This is Chinese food?
But the taste is good.
This is why you can't sleep.
Because those bleeding photos are screaming wildly.
That guy Beom was found on a mountain a month after his death.
The hatchet that smashed his head was next to him.
San-O.
He's the killer for sure, but we can't find him.
Whenever I have time, I look into him.
After interviewing a dozen of his ex-girlfriends,
I feel like we're close.
So he's been to jail?
Yes, just for a month.
He thought some guy was seeing his girlfriend, so he beat him up.
But he fears jail more than death?
- And still he beat the guy... - Hello?
Knowing he'd go to jail...
So he loves that woman more than death.
Oh Ga-in?
He went up. Go!
Go!
Bro!
I turned the cylinder!
Oh Ga-in lives far away.
She runs a beauty parlor in Gyeonggi.
And she got married.
In Korea,
if a person you love gets married, does the love cease?
Hey! San-O!
You didn't kill Beom for money.
Right?
I know everything.
During your month in jail, Beom made a move on Ga-in.
Right?
Actually I like a woman too.
But her husband beats her.
I want to kill that bastard so much it hurts!
Why is it that women sleep with such trash?
Though I'm trash too.
Exactly!
But you're not trash.
You really love Ga-in, right?
Fuck, you gave up everything for her!
And...
Tell Ga-in...
"I went through hell because of you.
"But without you my life would be empty."
Tell her that.
San-O, don't do it!
No need to tell her.
Are you okay?
How could they expect you to drive home after something like that?
Shall I go to Busan?
No, no need.
Still, when you're depressed...
I'm not depressed.
- Really? - I better go to the bathroom.
- Okay. - Bye.
After a 2-year search,
he located the woman, murdered her husband
and subsequently began living with her.
Who is it?
Honey?
I told you you don't have to...
Why are you here?
To put you to sleep.
Am I one of your grannies?
Will you massage my arms?
What are you doing?
You said you take them down when you solve them.
I'll burn my husband too.
This is so dark.
Still, it's pretty.
What did you say I was?
Say it in Chinese.
Pretty.
Your silhouette.
Then let's leave that one.
And this one.
Leave this too.
And this one.
This one's better.
Will you sleep soundly now?
I'm not sure.
I have a method.
A method?
The U.S. Navy developed it, and I improved it.
I served in the Korean Navy.
What did the U.S. Navy develop?
Close your eyes.
Why did you ask the cat for my head?
Your head?
What will you do with it?
I said heart, not head.
Let's start.
Listen to my breathing.
Match your breathing and mine.
Now you go in the sea.
You go deep.
You are a jellyfish.
You have no eyes or nose.
You have no thoughts.
No joy
and no sadness.
You feel no emotion.
As you push away the water,
you push away all that happened today
to me.
Korean women have such soft hands, right?
Don't caregivers wear gloves?
It's so calloused.
I liked it from the start,
that my detective was so dignified.
Dignified for a cop, you mean?
Dignified for a Korean?
For a man?
For a modern person.
What era do you come from anyway?
The Tang Dynasty?
Why is it you don't ask me why I like you?
Scared you'll think of it too much?
From the start, I knew we were of the same breed.
When you said you'd look at your husband's photo.
That you didn't want "words".
I always try to look at things directly too.
Half the corpses at crime scenes have their eyes open.
I promise them I'll catch the killer who was the last thing they saw.
What scares me are crime scenes with lots of blood.
Because of the smell.
That's why you carry hand cream that smells nice?
What else do you carry?
What scares you, Seo-rae?
You're a nurse, so it can't be blood.
High places.
Your pockets...
Twelve on the jacket, six on my pants.
Custom-made at my tailor.
I solved a case for him once, so I get a discount.
I go at once when they call, so I wear these even on days off.
People don't stop murdering on the weekends.
But it's not the same set of clothes. I have several pairs. I'm...
...clean.
She writes for hours in a notepad opened alongside a book.
Transcribing?
Looks things up on her phone.
Perhaps translating with a dictionary?
Watching TV dramas again.
Talks to herself while watching.
Is it those period dramas that make her speech so classical?
Ice cream for dinner again.
Don't smoke after meals.
Crying... at last.
Fuck.
I know you're swearing.
In front of Buddha, no less...
You delete the files after a case is solved?
Sure.
The day your mother died?
It often helps to remember numbers related to a case.
It's not an unresolved case anymore,
so I'll forget them.
I walk alone
On this street...
Filled with mist...
How do you know such an old song?
Everyone here knows it. It's about this town.
Song Chang-sik even did a cover.
He did?
You did it.
How could you?
You smoked!
Soo-wan, that punk.
He smokes so much, he'll ruin my lungs.
You asleep?
Song Seo-rae
Hospital. Tuesday Granny is critical ;(
She asked for me, but now she's unconscious so I'm waiting.
Oh no...
Then what about Monday Granny?
Ah, I'm worried.
Shall I go?
Really?
A living old person comes before a detective dying of insomnia, no?
Haha, if you'd be so kind...
Then I'll...
I can call the agency at 9 a.m.
9 a.m.?
I'll tell them to send someone ASAP.
Then I'll...
Take the green notebook from my home and read it to her.
Then...
She likes that :)
Okay.
30 leagues to the east is Oil Mountain.
This mountain's peak is so deeply hidden,
for those who don't seek it out, it's invisible.
You're a man but your hands are softer than Seo-rae's.
Seo-rae's hands are a bit rough.
These days, yes.
Her palms used to be as soft as lips.
Sirae, play me a song! "Mist" by... who is it?
She doesn't listen to me these days.
The same phone as Seo-rae's.
Sure, we bought them together.
It's not good to have too many apps open.
Fitness - Flights Climbed
138 FLIGHTS Monday, October 26, 2020
Seo-rae was here on this Monday?
If it was Monday, she came.
Did you go somewhere with her?
I haven't left this house in ten years.
Granny, what day is it today?
Where do you see a granny, darling?
I don't know what day it is.
Honey, you're a smart girl, right?
Let's say that...
Seo-rae came today?
Then it's Monday.
Set the watch to the exact time.
Seo-rae was captured on CCTV,
and start walking.
Switching the phones and exiting, maybe seven minutes.
If she climbs out the back window, there's no CCTV
There are two possible routes.
The easy route and the hard one.
The time it takes is about the same.
I always go up the hard way,
but for the sake of novice viewers, today I'll take the easy route!
Song Seo-rae would've taken the easy course,
so as not to meet her husband.
Yes, Manager. I arrived at work.
Yes, it's okay.
Bye.
At 0900, the confirmation call comes from the agency.
If you slip here, no need to feel embarrassed.
Beegeum Peak was once called Oil Peak.
Meaning it's as slippery as oil.
Quite a view, isn't it?
If I start Mahler's Fifth at the base I arrive as the 4th movement ends.
On the peak, I enjoy the 5th movement and then descend.
It's perfect.
A perfect hiding place.
Song Seo-rae would've hidden here and then climbed to the peak.
Before the 5th movement of Mahler's Fifth ended.
The last overhang might pose a problem.
But anyway, you'll see.
Compared to the hard course I take,
this is nothing!
Like popping sushi in your mouth, just climb up rung by rung,
And then you're on the peak!
Korean women have such soft hands, right?
Ten in the morning.
I'm at the top of my beloved Beegeum Peak.
So far removed from the filthy world,
I could die like this.
You said you're scared of high places.
When he beat you,
when he branded you like some kind of cow,
why didn't you call the police?
Why not trust us?
He said they'd send me back to China.
Is that why you sent him those threatening letters?
They would've come anyway.
The bribes were all true.
Then you must've forged his letter to the immigration office, too.
The address on the envelope was in his handwriting,
how'd you do that?
I just fixed the contents of his letter
to give it a feel of a will.
When you said Soo-wan was violent, that must've been a lie too.
If a policeman gets drunk and enters a woman's home,
isn't that violence?
Burning the photos, erasing my voice recordings,
it must've been so easy?
"Give it a feel" that you like me, and I do it all for you?
Don't speak about our time that way.
Our time?
What kind of time was that?
The time I spent outside your home each night?
The time I slept so well listening to you breathe?
The time I embraced you and whispered I was happy?
You said I was dignified?
You know where dignity comes from?
From pride.
I was a proud policeman.
But...
After going crazy for a woman.
I ruined an investigation.
Now...
I'm completely shattered.
I bought Granny a new phone. The same model.
She has no idea.
Throw that phone in the sea.
Some place deep, where no-one can find it.
Shattered
1. ruined or broken.
13 months later The stress from losing criminals and so on can cause sleep disorders.
My first recommendation
is to sunbathe 30 minutes before noon.
You can wear clothes, but keep your eyes open...
Doctor.
You haven't worked long in Ipo, have you?
There's no sun in the morning. Because of the fog.
You do have running water?
Of course.
Take a foot bath before sleeping, and I'll prescribe dopamine, so take that.
If that still doesn't work,
this instrument helps you breathe through your nose as you sleep.
This here...
You know pomegranates can delay menopause?
Won't things be easier after menopause?
That's true, but still...
Since you moved home,
I feel healthier thanks to your cooking and these pomegranates.
So why are you withering away?
Withering?
Am I a pomegranate?
June was shocked to see your photo.
Said, "What happened to your good-looking husband?"
56% of middle-aged men are at risk of depression.
June knows a guy who took soft-shell turtle juice, and it really helped
with testosterone.
I'm really happy with you here in Ipo...
I'm happy, too.
You need murder and violence in order to be happy.
Where is your husband?
He ran off without me!
You crazy bastard!
Then what are all these?
How could you buy this stuff without your husband?
While you two live like this,
my mom cries every day begging me to kill her.
What does the doctor say?
That she won't last a month.
If my mom dies,
your damned husband...
I told you I'd bear it for just ten minutes.
For your mother's sake.
Does she know you go around beating up women?
Does she know what your nickname is?
If she dies,
I'll put her in the freezer
and hold the funeral only after killing your husband!
Those babies meant so much to me...
Don't you worry now.
Our captain here was the nation's youngest inspector,
an ace even in Busan!
Sir! The stolen goods are 5S soft-shell turtles.
What's the tally on damages?
The market price is over $3,000!
What? Why so expensive?
They help depression in middle-aged men.
You're a legend, Inspector!
How could you know all that?
- Tell them to turn off the flashers. - Yes, sir.
Hey Ji-hyuk!
You're a fool!
I told you not to come, you'll die here!
What else can I do?
It's solely this way I can see you.
Honey, pack your bags quick!
Changed your number again?
Hurry up! Slappy found out your location!
Oh and next week, meet with the Chinese clients.
If I don't break through on the Chinese front, I'm in trouble.
Wait, I got a message.
Ah, he came already?
That's no face to be taking meetings with.
I love you. We're okay, right?
Whatever, let's move.
Yes we'd better, since Slappy found you.
Where should we move to?
- That's smoke, right? - Smoke or fog.
If there's a real fire, nobody will come out.
Now that we're outside, let's smoke.
People say you came here after getting depression,
for not preventing that suspect's suicide.
But I heard you recovered...
So why do I still look depressed?
Because I can't sleep, that's all.
He's wearing dress shoes?
If you're not smoking, why not go back in?
For my sake, since I'm an outcast?
At least the boonies are quiet, right?
Smoke outside, will you?
I love you!
What are you...?
I moved here.
Why?
There's nothing in this town.
I like the mist.
I'm Song Seo-rae.
I'm Chinese, my Korean is insufficient.
Honey, this is the detective who suspected me.
I'm the next husband. Name's Im Ho-sin.
Jang Hae-joon.
What brings you to Ipo?
I touched a fish.
What brings you to Ipo?
I moved here too. My wife works here.
I'm Ahn Jeong-ahn.
People leave Ipo because of the fog, they don't come for it.
Once you deal with the mold...
Listen to you.
Actually we came because of the reactor.
Really? Why?
- Is it Red Alert? - Yes.
You know the TV drama where Go-bin faces down a nuclear accident?
There are so many Chinese women dying to visit the shooting location.
And she's a tour guide.
I realize it's your source of income, so this may be a bit rude,
but we're not too keen on dramas that trade in such baseless fear-mongering.
That's where she works. It's a sensitive topic.
We say "Clearly Cleaner Nuclear".
You're from Stock Market TV?
You've seen my show!
I'm a stock analyst.
Not an "anal-ist" who likes rear ends.
You look younger than on TV.
The secret to my youth is a daily swim,
and for my secret to investing, you can call me.
Can I have your card?
No need to run in this town.
She's pretty, that woman.
Her green dress was pretty.
Wasn't it blue?
Whatever.
A Chinese woman whose husband died...
Did you tell me about that case?
I heard about an old man whose Chinese wife killed herself.
There was that, too.
Did the husband murder her?
No, I suspected an innocent person.
That woman said you suspected her, too.
Yes, but her husband committed suicide.
You suspect a lot of innocent people, honey.
That's why people hate us.
Us?
The police.
Assistant Inspector Yeo Yeon-soo
Honey! Can you answer this?
Blood.
Hello?
Honey.
Congratulations.
What?
It's a murder case.
Estimated time of death, 11 a.m. Stabbed in 17 places.
13 times in the stomach and chest, four times in the back.
The wounds in the back were while running away?
Can a person run after being stabbed 13 times?
And anyway, why is the corpse in that position?
The wife was the first to find him. Shall I bring her?
The suspect is left-handed.
Write this down!
Is this why you came to Ipo?
Am I such a pushover?
Am I so wicked?
Listen to me, Ms. Song.
This time your alibi better be solid as a rock.
You think the wife killed him? Why?
Because there are no signs of forced entry or theft?
Because he was stabbed haphazardly from the front,
suggesting a crime of passion by an acquaintance?
Because the wife didn't seem very shocked or sad?
That's because there are some to whom grief comes crashing...
Why are you so inquisitive with me and not with the others?
I know her from another case, last year in Busan.
Her husband died then, too.
She killed him?
Sorry, the question just popped into my head.
It was ruled a suicide, but now another husband died,
in my jurisdiction again!
But she's right-handed.
So we need to figure out how she can be the murderer!
They said come to the station.
Can I get my handbag?
You went out for a walk,
but left your phone behind, so it can't be traced.
No way to prove your alibi, then?
It seems so.
You don't seem worried at all.
Did anyone hold a grudge against your husband?
He did a lot of investing with other people's money.
Recently there were losses.
But he lived in a luxury villa.
He said to raise money you have to spend it visibly.
Why'd you marry a man like that?
It was so I could make the decision to leave another man.
Did you come to Ipo because of any connections here?
Because we have no connections here.
If we did, creditors would find us.
You chose your husband not for reasons of love.
That husband received various threats,
and then died.
Just the same as last year.
What?
That husband was suicide, and this husband was murder.
Fine.
In the same detective's jurisdiction,
but quite far apart from each other,
two husbands died of suicide or murder.
If someone told me that, I'd probably respond like this.
Wow, what a coincidence.
How would you respond?
What a poor woman.
She had different clothes, it was a blue dress.
With no coat.
You sure it was blue?
Not green?
Thank you.
It's blue all right.
What was she doing down there?
Why did you move here, really?
Why do you keep asking?
Is it so important to you why I came?
Why is it important?
What else can I do? It's solely this way I can see you.
What did you wear on your walk by the sea?
This.
That's a lie.
Where's the blue-green dress?
That looks blue one moment and green the next?
With the sparkling buttons.
You looked so closely.
Where can it be?
Sorry I'm late!
Hello.
Did you see this?
Wow, a murder in our town!
I'm sleepy already, how will I stay up all night?
I came back from my walk, and the blood smell was strong.
I thought of you.
You would come here,
and you would be scared.
Ms. Song.
You just admitted to destroying evidence.
I'm putting you under emergency arrest for murder.
I didn't want the police to step on my husband's blood.
We've got her smartwatch, right?
Open up the voice recordings.
They must be in Chinese, so find a translator.
Are you a male?
No.
Have you ever killed a person?
Yes.
Did you kill your husband Im Ho-sin?
No.
Inspector?
What are you doing here?
The transcript of the smartwatch recordings.
And you asked us to check the plates of cars near the villa in recent days?
One of them was a man defrauded by Im Ho-sin.
And he's been arrested twice for violent crime.
His name is Sa Cheol-seong. A Chinese name?
Let go!
You okay? What are you doing?
Call me.
Call me, Mom!
Left-handed, right?
$270,000.
That's what my mom earned running a soju tent for ten years
and then running her own Chinese restaurant 18 hours a day.
She gave that money to Im Ho-sin.
At first it was only $10,000.
But when dividends kept coming in she got excited and threw it all in.
So that guy takes everyone's cash and goes around staying in hotels,
gambling, buying his wife clothes and handbags, living like a king!
$10 million.
My mom already had diabetes,
but after losing that money she collapsed and her kidneys gave out.
She couldn't get treated in time, and they cut off all her toes!
You know why they call me Slappy?
Slap, slap... my hand can really fly!
Slapping with my palm hurts a lot less than punching,
so I can keep on hitting!
But if I don't kill Im Ho-sin, can I call myself a man?
Do you know Song Seo-rae?
Did she ask you to kill him?
Give me a break.
I'm not a guy to take orders from anyone else.
Song Seo-rae was a big help to me.
She must have no idea,
why it is that I found her wherever she ran...
I took her phone
and installed a tracking app.
What the hell?
Why'd you sit him up? That's creepy.
You scumbag piece of shit, you want a slap in the ass?
Have you lost your marbles?
I'll slap...
Sir, don't you feel happy?
Why should I?
We solved Ipo's first-ever murder case!
Where should we celebrate?
Solved?
Who said it's solved?
Now that we've got the suspect, we can let Song Seo-rae go?
Just popped into my head.
Suspects in the soft-shell turtle burglary
fleeing on a motorcycle.
Approaching the community center. Requesting backup.
They're running away!
The turtles!
Hurry up!
Come here, you. Hold the sack!
Get the big ones first!
They've got a shitty temper, so watch your fingers!
I returned some stolen goods...
If the husband of a woman my husband knows
calls me two times in the middle of the night...
Did he call by mistake?
Is he hitting on a married woman he just met?
I could just ignore it, but...
If not long after he was killed?
Honey.
Did you kill him?
Did the two of you kill him?
Is your finger okay?
The number for Im Ho-sin's burner phone.
Check the location on the day he was killed.
LM for "lMpactful investment!" HO for "HOt tips!" SIN for "single greatest analyst!"
Inspector!
Yeah?
While Im Ho-sin was dead at home,
why was his phone being turned on and off here?
Raise your arm and lift your hand a bit.
My arm hurts!
Stop!
She threw the phone. Let's call the divers and search!
Is it deep there?
Will you snap out of it?
We caught the murderer! We have evidence and a confession!
Will you please stop obsessing about that woman?
Don't you feel sorry for her?
He's wearing dress shoes?
Stubble? He used to shave day and night.
Has he grown lazy?
He looks lifeless...
- Because he can't meet me? (LAUGH)
When he cooked that bizarre Chinese food,
I smoked right next to him.
This man can't stand cigarettes.
Saying he loves me, empty words...
I remember the nights he watched me.
It felt like...
a trustworthy man
was staying awake to watch over me.
He's coming.
He'll ask me, is this why I came to Ipo?
What do I say?
Why do you keep crying, Song Seo-rae?
Should I answer him?
No...
He may...
already know it.
He may not even ask.
Is this why you came to Ipo?
Hello.
What was on that phone? Answer me.
Open the door now!
I'm not there.
Then where are you?
Homi Mountain.
What was on Im Ho-sin's phone that you had to throw it away?
Don't fall asleep.
Just a little bit farther.
There's no mist here.
Why did Im Ho-sin call my wife?
My mountain-loving mom often told me,
each time I felt upset...
If I go to Korea, my mountain is there.
Be honest with me.
You knew that Im Ho-sin wanted to talk to my wife?
In court the government took it from me,
but whatever anyone says, in my heart this is my mountain.
Mom, Grandpa.
I brought a very trustworthy man.
Scatter these for me.
You know I'm scared of heights.
Why do I marry such men?
Because commendable men like you won't marry me.
For such a man to speak to me,
something on the scale of murder has to happen.
Is this a time for jokes?
After leaving me, you never once slept soundly?
Even if you forced your eyes shut, you kept thinking of me?
Didn't you feel this way, too?
That night you ran into me in the market,
suddenly you felt alive again?
At last.
My hands are soft enough now?
For the past 402 days, I've...
You were...
But that doesn't change the fact that I'm a cop and you're a suspect.
You know the word "suspect"?
Someone the police is watching.
I like that.
Treat me as you will, like you always did...
As a suspect.
You're curious why I like you, right?
Or did you say you weren't?
Seo-rae,
your body is very...
Upright.
Few people have such posture unless they're nervous.
I think it says a lot about you.
What happened to the four fentanyl pills?
Carrying you all this time has been heavy for me.
Goodbye, Grandpa.
Goodbye, Mom.
I told you to throw this where no-one can find it!
Re-investigate with this.
Go back to before you were shattered.
Maybe I went to Ipo to become one of your unresolved cases.
June!
Yes?
Your first time seeing him? June just got divorced.
I'm Lee June. I've heard a lot about you.
It didn't snow here?
What?
What about that promise of ours?
What promise?
Even when we hate each other, to do it once a week.
Step aside, would you?
Are you getting sleep?
They did a test, and said I wake up 47 times per hour.
Can you believe that?
I'd like to exchange my sleep with you, like batteries.
They say I breathe through my mouth.
They said to use a machine to breathe through my nose.
There's a machine like that.
It's strange, I breathe through my nose when awake.
That doesn't mean I snore, though.
I know.
Sunbathing... Vitamin D!
Good to see the sun, huh?
30 minutes are up.
I talked to the women divers by the sea.
Told them to keep an eye out while diving for abalone.
Think this can be restored?
Wanted to play this awesome recording to your (lol) Hae-joon's wifey
but she's not answering :( She'll pick up in the morning?
The talks with the Chinese are going well, want to ruin everything?
I'm a dead man anyway.
Slappy's mother won't last long.
Where ever I go, that bastard fineds me.
If no answer in 2 days, this awesome recording goes on internet.
The citizens have a right to know
how cop+suspect fool around.
I'm having lunch with the Chinese in 2 days, come home by 10 a.m.
Voice Recordings: No Files
On the day your mother died, you met Song Seo-rae?
She visited the hospital, early in the morning.
She said she felt so bad about my mom's condition,
as a fellow Chinese.
Did she bring any pills?
Something for her diabetes?
Blue-green capsules.
I don't know, but she sure knew how to treat a patient.
She massaged her here and there, and my mom cheered right up.
So I left and went out for breakfast.
When I got back she was gone,
and my mom was lying back comfortably with eyes closed,
talking about how she felt so sleepy.
Then not long after...
Did her massage have anything to do with my mom's passing?
Didn't Slappy say he put a tracking app on Seo-rae's phone?
Hae-joon.
We restored your husband's phone. But there's no voice file.
It was Slappy who killed your husband,
but you killed Slappy's mother.
Because he said he'd kill your husband if his mother died.
Your husband,
and Slappy's mother...
They both died because of me?
She'd have died soon anyway, why give her the fentanyl?
She thanked me for it.
What was the recording your husband threatened to share?
Don't worry about that.
I'm not asking because I'm worried!
You've got the original?
What's the recording?
Your voice.
What?
Telling me you love me.
Me?
I liked it so much, I listened often.
But my husband found out.
When did I say I loved you?
When was it?
The moment you said you loved me,
your love ended.
And the moment your love ended,
my love began.
Tell me in Korean.
Seo-rae...
Hae-joon.
The phone you took from the sea, throw it back.
Throw it in a deeper sea.
Why don't you answer me straight? This is so frustrating!
Seo-rae, where are you going?
Seo-rae?
Hello?
Seo-rae!
Voice Recordings: "Ruined or broken"
Burning the photos, erasing...
Erasing my voice recordings,
it must've been so easy?
"Give it a feel" that you like me, and I do it all for you?
Don't speak about our time...
Throw that phone in the sea.
Some place deep, where no-one can find it.
Throw that phone in the sea.
...In the sea.
- Some place deep... - Some place deep...
...where no-one can find it.
Maybe I went to Ipo to become one of your unresolved cases.
Put my photos on your wall,
stay awake all night,
and think solely of me.
Seo-rae!
Seo-rae, where are you?
Put out an urgent search for Song Seo-rae.
I'm at Lion's Rock Coast. It's almost high tide.
Bring everyone you have!
She abandoned her car and vanished.
If we hurry we'll find her, she can't have gone far!
Don't waste time with questions!
It's going to be dark soon!
...after going crazy for a woman,
I ruined an investigation.
Now...
I'm completely shattered.
I bought Granny a new phone. The same model.
She has no idea.
Throw that phone in the sea.
Some place deep, where no-one can find it.
Throw that phone in the sea.
Your voice.
Telling me you love me.
Seo-rae!
DECISION TO LEAVE
I walk alone
on the street filled with mist
Is that your silhouette
my dear beloved?
What's the point in reminiscing about the past?
But I still yearn for you
Where have you gone, my love?
- In the mist, - Into the mist...
- all by myself, - Into the mist...
I walk away
endlessly
But your voice pulls me back when I turn to go
O wind, please blow this mist away
Where have you gone, my love?
- In the mist, - Into the mist...
- open your eyes - Into the mist...
And hide your tears in the mist
