(Mouse: The Predator)
(This drama is purely fictional and is not associated with...)
(actual people, organizations, locations, or incidents.)
(Filming was in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines...)
(and counseling was provided for child actors.)
(CGI was used in most scenes that include animals.)
It's upsetting to hear your lack of trust in me.
How about now?
Do you believe me now?
You have until the show ends.
If you don't tell me by then why this kid must die,
you'll see something you will never forget.
(Mouse)
(The Predator: Part 1)
It was natural that I was pent up with anger.
That anger was probably what motivated me...
to stay alive until now.
The day I came home after telling Han Seo Joon that I forgive him,
I slept like a baby.
I had never slept so well...
("Human Documentary: Forgiveness")
ever since that incident.
How about I stall the search...
for a better climax?
A kidnapper can ask for a ransom,
but it'll never be considered.
The killer kidnapped a boy...
and then told the police to figure out why he kills...
and reveal the reason on camera.
We should not condone...
the police's decision to give into him.
So the police should take a psychopath's word...
and solve the quiz on camera like some game show?
- Is this the best... - What if the show is cancelled?
our country can do to save the boy's life?
Hello, is this Han Kook's mother?
Excuse me, Detective.
Ma'am?
Sir...
Sir, please do that show he asked.
My boy... Please save my boy.
I'll do everything you ask.
I'll do what you ask, so please.
- Did you bring her here? - Please...
I came to ask you the same thing.
Please don't give up.
Chi Kook and Bong Yi's grandmother.
We must catch who hurt them.
Escort her home.
Detective! Sir, please.
- Please. - Ma'am, please get up.
This isn't helping.
Please save my boy.
- Please. - Let's do it, Detective Ko.
Please. Please...
- Detective Ko. - We can't do it here though.
We'll be forced to pack up.
Where could we do it?
Welcome.
- Here. - We're good.
Wait.
Don't you remember me?
- Sorry? - I was the one who interviewed you.
For what?
My first interview as a probie was with a high school student...
who was awarded the Citizen Hero Award.
That student was Officer Jung!
He made me sweat by refusing the interview though.
He said it was his friend who did all the work...
all throughout the interview.
The one you interviewed was Chi Kook.
That friend we helped though.
I saw that friend recently.
Where?
- Well... - We already wasted two days.
We only have a day until the broadcast. Let's hurry.
Order the evidence by victim...
and tell me if you find anything in common.
You can exclude Song Soo Ho and Kim Gat Nan for now.
Sure.
It'll be more interesting than I thought.
Who knew she was the producer who interviewed Chi Kook?
Hey, Father Ko.
I made japchae and some other stuff.
You should eat it with everyone.
This is a lot of japchae.
Don't tell him I made it.
If he finds out, he won't eat it.
Okay.
Officer Jung.
Please take good care of Moo Chi.
Don't worry.
- I'll get going then. - Sure.
Father.
Yes?
Do you really not hate him?
Han Seo Joon, I mean.
Aren't you angry?
He killed your parents...
and gave you a permanent injury.
Don't you harbour anger toward him?
Why do you ask? Did Moo Chi say something?
No, it's just...
I'm just curious, that's all.
You can be honest with me.
How can you possibly forgive him?
You're just like the rest of us,
so how can you forgive him?
I pray to the Almighty every day.
Every day, I ask him...
to save Han Seo Joon's soul.
I'll get going then.
That was your last chance,
Ko Moo Won.
Detective Ko. It's 8pm.
The show starts in 2 hours.
It's over.
Father Ko, hello.
Hey, Officer Jung. What's going on?
Why did you ask me to meet you here?
Oh, well...
I'm thinking about sending someone away...
and needed some advice.
You're sending someone away?
Whether he'll go or not...
hasn't been decided yet.
What?
Let me ask you one last time.
For the last time? Ask me what?
Do you really...
not resent Han Seo Joon?
Aren't you angry at him?
He damaged you physically...
and made Detective Ko live the way he does.
I've already forgiven Han Seo Joon.
You're forgiven him?
("Sherlock Hong Ju")
I wonder what the answer is.
I have no clue and we're running out of time.
Unless Moo Chi answers correctly, the young boy will die.
I never said I'd kill the boy.
What?
I said I'd kill,
but I never said whom.
That's right.
It's you.
Let me ask you straightforwardly, Detective Ko.
Did you find the answer?
Can we save Han Kook?
Let me ask you again.
Did you find the answer?
Yes, I did.
Then tell us why...
the culprit chose to kill the victims.
Before I tell the answer, I need to check something first.
You're watching this, right?
You asked me to figure out why you chose these victims.
If you want to hear the answer,
I need to check if you're the guy who called...
and asked me to come out on the show.
Prove to me that Han Kook is still alive.
That's the only way it'll be fair.
You know my number, right?
Then I'll tell you exactly why you chose those people as victims.
He really is doing everything I asked.
Detective Ko, all these cases have a common feature.
That's right. A cross was located...
near the crime scene,
and the victims' middle fingers were found pointing at it.
It's safe to assume that the killer loathes the Almighty...
or at least harbours hatred for him.
At first, I was convinced that all the 5 victims out of 7...
excluding Song Soo Ho and the old lady from Gudong...
in her 70s...
who was probably killed to keep his identity hidden,
were chosen randomly.
But then the killer called you personally.
That's right. There is a standard by which I choose my victims.
He openly admitted to the five killings...
not being random.
Yes. After our call ended,
I went over the cases again with fresh eyes.
Byun Soon Young was a single mom...
who worked in the kitchen of a hostess bar...
to provide for her daughter after her husband's passing.
Meanwhile, Park Jong Ho was a young man who worked...
day and night at his temporary job.
Hey.
This instant coffee mix that was found at the scene...
wasn't a beverage...
he enjoyed while he worked.
It was something he had to consume to stay awake.
The killer took what the victims most cherished as trophies.
He must've been aware of what this coffee meant to Park Jong Ho.
(Why haven't the cops arrested him yet?)
(I hope you die, monster. Rest in peace. He was so young.)
The only survivor, prison guard Na Chi Kook,
was an upright and generous young man.
According to the people around him,
he wasn't the type to stand injustice.
Back in high school, he even rescued another citizen from a beating.
Homeless man Mr. Kim, who we've yet to identify,
was well-liked by other homeless people around him too.
He was a quiet man...
who was generous...
and shared food.
He was a gentleman.
Hello, you've reached "Sherlock Hong Ju".
I appreciate the hard work you guys are doing.
I have an important tip-off regarding the killer.
Go ahead. I'm listening.
I'd like to speak to the producer herself.
You can tell us first.
- Then we'll check... - Oh, really?
It's really important. I can only tell her.
That's too bad.
- Bye then. - Wait.
You're not kidding, right?
- I'll put you on live. - This is being aired...
throughout the entire country, right?
Can you put me on a voice changer?
I'll be in danger if the culprit recognizes my voice.
I hear you have crucial information regarding this case.
It's not about the case.
I have a question to ask Detective Ko.
Detective Ko, I'll cut right to the chase.
Do you think you have the right to be on this show?
Rumour has it that you indulge in illegal gambling...
and take bribes from criminals.
Is that true?
I don't know where you heard those rumours,
- but they're groundless. - Sure, whatever you say.
Then what about you being...
a bereaved family member of a Head Hunter's victim?
I asked you a question. Is what I said true?
What does that have to do with this case?
The rumour must be true.
You saw the Head Hunter cut off your mom's head.
You must've been traumatized.
And about the killer who jumped off a roof recently.
The guy who killed the two sisters with a hammer.
Did he really jump?
Could you have pushed him?
I didn't.
I'm only joking. Of course, you didn't push him.
A police officer wouldn't kill a person, right?
I bet you wanted to push him tens and hundreds of times though.
You're not answering me.
Silence is a sign of admission.
You're doing this show...
so that you can find and kill the killer, right?
The kid's survival is the last thing on your mind.
Right?
I only called to tell you this...
because I'm worried.
You can't contain your emotions at the sight of killers.
So putting on this show to save another's son is...
You're worried?
Worry about yourself, you lunatic. Darn you, you scumbag!
Did you just swear at me?
You explode even at the keen advice of a worried citizen,
so how would you face a killer?
You should be calmer than anyone else...
Hello?
This is enough warming up.
It's time to start the real game.
Believe me when I say...
that bringing Han Kook home is the only reason I'm on air.
This is the only way we can ensure his safe return.
Please help us continue with the show.
The delivery is here.
Okay. We just received something...
we believe the kidnapper sent.
Do you believe me now?
You have until the show ends.
If you don't tell me by then why this kid must die,
you'll see something you will never forget.
I hope this works.
However, this is insufficient to make any conclusions.
So we will ask his mom to confirm.
Is this child in the video your son?
It is. It's Han Kook.
Are you sure?
I know my son.
- I was told to deliver this here. - It is my son.
Another delivery came for Detective Ko.
That's not what I sent.
What? What do you mean?
That's not the video that I sent. It's different.
I thought it seemed weird.
The courier. It's him.
Detective Ko has stepped away to confirm its authenticity.
We will continue to accept calls with tips.
It's a burner.
You. Where did you pick up the package?
He said it was in a locker at Shimjeon Station.
- Shimjeon Station? - Yes.
May I go now?
After we check on it.
I'll check the surveillance videos.
You should go back. You need to finish the show.
- Go with him. - Okay.
Call me as soon as you check.
Okay.
Wait.
- Look. - Yes, it's him.
- It's Han Kook! - He's alive!
- Thank goodness. - Thank goodness.
Detective Ko, I just saw Han Kook in the surveillance footage.
- What? - He's in the footage.
But he put something in the locker.
- Send it to me right now. - Okay.
Please send this footage to this address.
I just sent it.
Dong Koo, I need to go to the bathroom.
- Keep watching. - Okay.
Thanks to your tips,
we were able to identify...
the homeless man Kim, whom the authorities could not.
Even a small tip may help catch the killer,
so please contact the number you see below or the live chat...
(I just saw Han Kook with some man. Call me.)
Korean netizens...
are unbelievable.
- You saw Han Kook? - Darn it. Finally.
Why do you keep hanging up on me? How rude.
Why wouldn't you connect me?
You treated me like a drunkard...
or lunatic.
- Excuse me. - Detective Ko.
Have you calmed down now?
You'll be punished for making prank calls to the show.
This isn't a prank call.
Am I going to get punished for calling to ask a question?
The video of that kid is fake, isn't it?
Because that's what it looks like.
What are you talking about?
The culprit sent the video.
It's hard to believe you.
I mean, think about it. Why would the kid...
still be wearing a mask?
It's obviously to hide the fact that he isn't Han Kook.
Okay, fine. I'll prove to you...
that the video was sent to us by the culprit.
We have a CCTV footage that shows someone...
leaving the envelope inside a subway locker.
Take a look.
Dong Koo. Go ahead to the TV station.
What about you?
Han Kook was here. There may have been a witness.
Really? Then I'll help you look.
What if something happens on Detective Ko's end?
Someone should be there to help him.
Still.
Wouldn't it be more helpful for your scenario?
You're right. For realism.
- That's right. - You're always looking out for me.
But are you sure? You can't even walk.
Don't worry. Go on.
- Call me if you need me. - Okay.
What a nuisance.
Is this SBC's "Fact Check"?
I was watching TV right now.
Yes, the video of Kim Han Kook.
It's not Han Kook.
When I saw him on "Hope for Children" a month ago...
Yes. When I saw him on that show,
he had a burn scar by his ear.
Right? But there isn't a scar in that video the culprit sent.
Yes. You should check it.
Excuse me. Have you seen this boy?
Have you seen this boy?
- They should be here soon. - Officer!
Yes? What's wrong?
First, the CCTV footage went missing.
And now, people are even trying to open the locker.
- Who? - Hurry up.
You're interfering with our investigation.
Stop it.
Step aside.
- Let us through. - What are you doing?
- This is important. - Hey, hey.
Let us check the content.
Stop! Freeze!
- Stop. - Let us check.
Freeze. Freeze.
There is important evidence in this locker.
If you take evidence, you'll be guilty of tampering with evidence,
obstructing justice, and theft.
This is an important story for us too.
If you won't cooperate, I'll have to arrest you.
Step back.
So the killer filmed a fake video and sent it to us?
We'll have to verify that, but it must be the case.
Why would he do such a thing? Why?
This could've been part of his scenario to begin with.
To make sure I don't finish the show.
But he requested the show himself. Why would he do that?
The TV show itself might not have been his goal.
Adding more drama to our show...
so that he gets more spotlight.
It's either that or...
Or what?
What if he set up this whole thing?
- Speak. - Detective Ko.
I stopped the reporters from opening the locker next to locker number 13.
The envelope had a flash drive in it too.
A flash drive? Check what's in it right away.
(Drive not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted.)
- Yes? - The file must be corrupted.
Nothing's showing up.
Then, take it to Moojin Police Station.
It's a five-minute drive from there. Get in a cab. Hurry.
Thank you.
- Pick up, will you? - This is crazy.
A video is being sent your way.
I need the file recovered as fast as possible. Good.
Wrap up the show. Boss' orders.
What are you talking about? We still have 15 minutes.
Your fake video has him fuming.
He's absolutely outraged!
Don't argue with me...
and close the show after the commercial break.
Pack everything up and leave only one camera for Hong Ju.
I'm directing the show now.
Detective Ko will host it on its own.
(Sherlock Hong Ju)
This game is too boring. It needs to be a little closer.
Okay, Moo Chi.
I'll give you a hint.
Here. Can you blow this up?
Do you see that? Detective Ko.
Detective, I see something reflected on the mask Han Kook is wearing.
It's... It's a wall.
I think I see photos and newspaper articles,
but I can't be sure.
There's also a drawing. Wait, is it a cartoon?
No, it isn't.
I'll send you a blown-up version of the screenshot.
What is that?
Try to figure it out, Moo Chi.
I have to get to the TV station. Call me once it's been restored.
Hello, sir. Was Byun Soon Young wearing a hat...
when she left work?
She was?
Do you remember what colour it was?
Are you sure?
I got it.
The reason Na Chi Kook was stripped.
Viewers, what does this look like to you?
I can't be absolutely sure due to the level of decay,
but it seems to be an insect.
I have entomologist Mr. Lee on the line.
Mr. Lee, can you tell us what this is?
By any chance,
could it be a katydid?
Yes, I see thorns.
The light brown line that frames it...
says it's a black-rimmed katydid.
That's right. This is a katydid.
It was found in Park Jong Ho's throat.
The killer shoved it in there postmortem.
What does a katydid remind you of?
The fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper", right?
The death of all five victims...
are connected to children's stories.
You're watching, right?
I'll explain exactly why you chose those people.
Byun Soon Young. "Little Red Riding Hood".
Park Jong Ho. "The Ant and the Grasshopper".
Na Chi Kook. "The Emperor's New Clothes".
Kim Sung Gyu. "The Honest Woodcutter".
Jo Mi Jung. "The Fox and the Grapes".
You killed people to act out fairytales.
(Restricted Number)
Bingo. I give you props, Detective Ko.
You're smarter than I expected.
You actually figured it out.
I'm glad you called.
What took you so long?
It's boring talking by myself.
I'm glad to see you're getting closer to the answer.
I thought I should compliment you.
I thought you were putting on an act without knowing anything.
First tell me if Han Kook's safe.
He's doing very well.
Okay, then. Tell me the answer that you figured out.
I discovered something shocking from the endings of these stories.
Every story has a lesson.
"The Ant and the Grasshopper" is about the grasshopper's laziness.
"The Honest Woodcutter" is about the greedy woodcutter...
who tried to take axes of all kinds.
In "The Fox and the Grapes", it warns of gluttony.
- And "Little Red Riding Hood"? - The wolf's disgusting desire.
A warning about lust.
Then what about "The Emperor's New Clothes"?
It mocked the emperor's pride for not realizing he was naked...
because he was drunk on power.
- Interesting. - Lust,
sloth, pride, greed, and gluttony.
They're the seven deadly sins in Dante's "Purgatory", you jerk.
Sounds interesting.
But did those people that I killed commit those sins?
No, they didn't.
So why did I kill them?
You killed them because you...
We just traced the call. Buy us some time.
You know that my parents...
were murdered by the Head Hunter, right?
That's why I know a lot about psychopaths.
I studied them a lot.
Those jerks are meticulous.
But you? You are not.
You left trails all over the place.
Guess where you left a trail.
I'll give you a hint.
It happened about two weeks ago.
Detective Ko.
Are you stalling so that you can trace this call?
Or are you babbling because you don't know the answer?
The deadline is drawing near.
Hurry if you want to save the kid.
(Gudong Cathedral: Closed)
Shall we begin the show?
Don't be nervous.
Your brother's a smart man,
so I'm sure he'll figure out the answer.
I doubt he'll let you die.
Why did you kill them?
I don't know why, but you have a major grudge against the deity.
You killed people and broke their fingers to point to a cross.
You? You've decided to do the opposite...
of what the deity instructs.
That's why you considered those who didn't commit the deadly sins...
to be sinners.
The one without lust. The one without sloth.
The one without pride. The one without greed.
The one without gluttony. The one without envy!
The one without wrath!
Those are the sins that you defined!
And that's why you punished them as you saw fit!
We have a call.
- Hang up on me again, and... - Bingo.
You really are smart, Detective Ko.
This is why I'm your fan.
Byun Soon Young.
She never fell to any temptation and lived for her daughter.
That's why you killed her.
Because she lacked lust.
Foolish wench.
She was pretty enough. What's wrong with using her body a little?
It would've given her daughter an easier life.
You murdered Park Jong Ho for working hard,
and stuffed a grasshopper down his throat,
you psycho?
He wouldn't have died if he had been slightly lazy.
What's the use in working so hard?
He died without saying a peep like an ant under my foot.
But he did resist hard until the very last moment,
so it was very fun.
What? You jerk.
So? Jo Mi Jung?
She stuffed her face then threw up after the show.
But she acted like she just doesn't gain weight.
Gobbling isn't a sin, you know.
Her scrawny figure made me puke.
As for Na Chi Kook,
when I saw him acting all modest in his interview,
I wanted to kill him quickly and free him of his sin.
But... That poor old granny... Why did you kill her?
Why did you kill that granny, you scumbag?
Oh, that. She was just unlucky.
Do you think I would've enjoyed killing an old woman like her?
They need to resist and fight back for it to be fun.
It was really lame.
Are you kidding me right now?
Didn't you think about her family?
You're an inhumane monster.
We got him!
Good.
- Move out now! - They located him.
Just a bit more.
Keep talking to him a bit longer.
We have him. Building number 123, Seongu-dong.
Gosh, we finally found him.
Look here, Detective Ko.
That's not what I asked.
Time is ticking.
Why do you think the kid will die?
We found this piece of bread where Han Kook went missing.
You probably used this to lure Han Kook.
But he failed to come back home...
even though the birds never ate this bread.
"Birds"?
Interesting.
That's right. You wanted to use "Hansel and Gretel"...
to prove something again regarding one of the deadly sins.
Then tell me. What did the kid do wrong?
There are only two deadly sins left.
Envy and wrath.
Don't you hate your dad for leaving you?
No. I don't hate him.
I'm sure he had a reason.
Your dad may be watching,
so do you want to say something to him?
Dad. I miss you.
I love you.
You saw this show.
- And? - At the end of "Hansel and Gretel",
the kids kill the witch by boiling her inside a cauldron.
They were furious with anger.
They were enraged.
You thought Han Kook should be mad at his father for abandoning him.
You thought he should be angry.
But you're trying to kill an innocent kid...
for an absurd reason.
There you go. There's your answer.
Now cut the nonsense, and let the kid go.
The culprit is inside. He's on the phone...
while watching the show.
I bet you think you're some kind of a deity.
I've come across people like you before.
You chose people who didn't commit the seven deadly sins...
and punished them in your own way.
It's as if you think of yourself as the Almighty.
But I'm sorry to tell you...
that you're no deity, and you're not even human.
You're just a horrible monster.
A monster that can never be saved.
You piece of trash.
I pity you.
It's over now, you scumbag.
No, you're wrong.
Oh my, Father Ko.
I'm afraid your brother didn't answer correctly.
The answer was "wrath".
I got it right. Where's the kid?
We finally restored the USB from Shimjeon Station.
Where is the kid, you jerk?
Show yourself right now.
Hello?
He's the one who should've gotten angry, not Han Kook.
He's guilty...
for having no wrath.
Father... Father Ko.
- Moo Won. - I promised to kill him...
if you failed to find the answer.
It's time.
- Moo Won. - It's absurd.
His parents were killed by the Head Hunter.
He even ended up disabled because of him.
But he forgave him.
What an unbelievable brat.
Moo Won!
You darn jerk!
I'll kill you if you mess with my brother!
- You scumbag! - Why is wrath considered a sin?
It's a sin not to get angry.
It's not too late to get angry.
Then you will be forgiven.
Moo Won, just do it.
Then get angry at me.
Get angry at me. You're like that because of me.
You never would've gotten caught...
if I stayed quiet inside that camping car.
You were getting beaten up by him,
but all I did was watch.
Moo Won, you're like that because of me.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
You forgave him because of me.
So please get angry at me.
I'm begging you.
Moo Chi,
I never once resented you.
No, please. Just resent me.
Please just resent me.
I don't want you to destroy yourself.
Don't ruin your life just to get revenge.
I don't want to see that.
I'm sorry!
Please let my brother go.
It's all my bad.
I'm sorry for everything.
I was a fool to have challenged you.
I'm sorry.
Kill me instead. Take my life.
I'll die in his place.
Let my poor brother live.
Please don't kill my brother.
Moo Chi, I'm all right.
Whatever happens to me isn't your fault.
All right?
This is your last chance.
Get angry. Show your wrath.
To the Head Hunter who murdered your family.
To the world who didn't give him the death penalty.
Let your anger explode.
Moo Won, please.
My beloved little brother.
I've...
I've always been sorry.
Moo Won, please.
Moo Won.
I'm sorry.
No!
May...
the Lord...
save...
your soul.
Father Ko.
That crazy psycho.
Gosh, what is wrong with this world?
Father Ko got murdered?
That psycho killed the priest.
Sir, please... Please take me to Gudong Cathedral.
Take me to Gudong Cathedral.
What has become of this world?
Excuse me. Sorry. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I smell mint. That's weird.
He's dead.
Wait.
From what I can tell, you're not dealing with a human being.
He's a monster.
You may lose what you cherish the most!
What I cherish the most?
I lost that already when I was eight.
You witnessed that.
I have nothing more to lose.
Moo Won. Moo Won.
- Moo Chi. - Moo Won.
Let him go, Moo Chi.
Let him go.
Moo Won.
Moo Chi.
We just received a video...
from the culprit.
This three-minute long video...
was a video of Kim Han Kook.
After an urgent meeting, we decided to open this video...
to the public.
"When the farmer only gave delicious foods to the donkey,"
"the goat started to get jealous."
"The farmer ended up killing the goat..."
"in order to cure the donkey."
("The Donkey and Goat")
Goat Man, it's time to decide.
If you want to live, you must kill that donkey.
If you don't kill the donkey,
the goat will end up dying instead.
Detective.
Open the door. You've been in there for days.
You'll starve to death.
Please open the door.
Please, Detective Ko.
Will you at least let me in?
Open up.
We have to find Han Kook.
Detective Ko.
Darn it. This is boring if you do that.
Crawl out of there soon.
That way, it'll be fun for me.
That must hurt.
How could he do this to a kid's face?
No, it doesn't hurt.
Go to sleep. I'll go bring you...
some things you may need.
Wait.
I think I cut his arm with my knife.
You did?
Which is it? Did you cut him or you think you did?
When he was grabbing my head...
I swung my arm holding the knife.
And I felt something.
Where? Which side?
Well... So...
Left side. I think it was his left arm.
- His left arm. - Yes.
Okay. I'll tell Detective Kang.
Darn it. Gross.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
He hasn't touched any of it.
If he keeps drinking on an empty stomach,
he may die from acute alcohol intoxication.
We have to get him to eat somehow.
What should I make?
You're so devoted.
Cooking for someone who has no will to live won't make him eat.
Still, I have to make him eat at least a little bit.
What is this?
This is it.
This rat. You're boring me.
Moo Chi, you need to play with me.
We need to finish the game.
Come out.
Crawl out of there already.
Detective Ko.
When we were at my place to prepare for the show,
you enjoyed the japchae and other dishes.
It was...
Father Ko.
I didn't want you to reject them,
so I lied.
I brought over the last batch of japchae.
Eat it or throw it away. The choice is yours.
Fine.
Let's see if you still stay holed up at home.
This is how it ends for the Goatman.
Detective Ko, what are you up to?
Are you going to give up on Han Kook?
If you don't find me in three days,
the entire nation will see Han Kook's body sans his lungs.
You have until midnight,
three days from today.
Breaking news. The killer has shared another video of Kim Han Kook.
Once again, the killer has called Detective Ko Moo Chi to the stage.
Whether Detective Ko is able to move on from...
his brother's shocking death to save Han Kook remains to be seen.
It's better if he doesn't see it.
I can't tell him, Ms. Choi.
But seriously.
Why is that jerk doing this to Detective Ko?
I'm bored, that's why.
Bong Yi. I need to step out for a bit.
I hope he saw it.
Well, I'll let him know if he didn't.
Nice, Moo Chi.
Shall we start the game?
Where's Sung Yo Han's car?
- Did you find it? - No, we're still looking.
We have no time! Hurry! Han Kook will die!
Do you think we're all slacking off?
Everyone's doing their best.
Darn it.
What's that?
Hey.
(Tied together)
(Stab wound on the neck)
"The mother goat was furious with anger."
"So she opened the wolf's stomach, took out her babies' bodies,"
"filled his stomach with stones,"
"and sewed it back up again."
Those who don't get angry are sinners.
(Stab wound on the neck)
Father Ko, I will judge you.
Han Kook.
That detective man didn't keep his promise.
I have to show him later...
that I kept my promise.
He who does not envy...
is a sinner.
After having passed the deadline to save Han Kook's life,
which was last night midnight,
professionals think there's a low chance that he might still be alive.
- The police still haven't found... - Hey, Detective Kang.
Detective Ko? Isn't he home?
What?
Bong Yi's grandmother's DNA was found at that doctor's house?
Why was it in Sung Yo Han's house?
It couldn't be...
It was Sung Yo Han,
not Kim Joon Sung.
How did this jerk get these pictures?
He knows everything about me.
Darn it.
This is it. The mint scent.
It was you.
I killed the wrong guy.
I wondered why that punk Kim Joon Sung wouldn't talk.
It was because of you.
To save you.
Save the child first.
Han Kook, who's under your feet.
You're here to save Han Kook.
What have shocked people are the objects found at the scene...
which turned out to be the belongings of the gym trainer,
the bar employee, and the unidentified homeless man.
The police are investigating...
under the assumption of this being a serial case...
and have formed a special task force.
Along with the belongings of the four previous victims,
a man's watch was also discovered...
- which led to the police... - My mom said...
there was another child...
who had the monster gene.
I've always wondered...
what happened to that child.
Did he become a predator like me?
Or did he become a normal person unlike me?
(Mouse: The Predator)
But the Almighty never answered my prayer.
I ended up...
a killer.
It's Lee Soo Yeon. Lee Soo Yeon is back.
We're already up to eight victims!
How can I turn a blind eye when my husband is dead too?
- Help... - What's with your eyes?
- Help! - What?
- What was in the hole? - The black smoke wasn't all.
