00:00:00The father opened his daughter's laptop, but strange sounds emanated from the speakers.
00:00:05Horrified, he called his wife. Both were paralyzed with fear as they watched the video
00:00:10depicting their daughter being brutally tortured. What plunged them into even deeper despair was
00:00:16that three days later, her body was found in the woods. She had not only been burned all over her
00:00:21body, but the nails on her fingers and toes had also been ripped out. The bruising indicated that
00:00:27the torture had lasted for at least several days. This case reminded the police of three
00:00:33gruesome murders that occurred in Seoul, South Korea. Fifteen years prior, the perpetrator had
00:00:39tortured and murdered three young women, then left their bodies in front of their homes,
00:00:44as if deliberately displaying them to their parents, ensuring they were the first to witness
00:00:48the horrific scene. However, this case was different. The perpetrator sent a video instead
00:00:54of a body. The investigative team theorized that the perpetrator derived pleasure from forcing the
00:01:00parents to watch the torture of their child, inflicting far greater pain than simply seeing
00:01:05the body. This pointed to an intense hatred of familial bonds. However, the police had no suspects.
00:01:13Detective Lee Han noticed something unusual about the video. The masked man in the video didn't seem
00:01:18to be acting solely for himself, but was acutely aware of being watched. Furthermore, he noticed that
00:01:25the camera was shaking, indicating it wasn't fixed in place. Throughout the assault, the man repeatedly
00:01:31glanced towards the lens, as if mindful of another perpetrator. Sure enough, DNA testing revealed that the
00:01:38perpetrator's DNA recovered from the victim's body didn't match the DNA from the previous cases.
00:01:43This meant there were two perpetrators, one carrying out the torture and the other filming it.
00:01:49The mastermind had a more controlling personality, letting the weaker accomplice commit the initial
00:01:54crime to hold incriminating evidence against them. This gradually addicted the controlled accomplice to
00:02:00the act of harming others. Meanwhile, Hyun Joon went to the girl's school to retrieve surveillance
00:02:06footage from before her disappearance. He discovered that after leaving her classroom,
00:02:10the girl had picked up a notebook and chased after someone, eventually disappearing at the end of the
00:02:16hallway. After experimenting, Hyun Joon deduced that one perpetrator strategically used blind spots in
00:02:22the camera coverage to lure the victim, while the other lay in wait behind a door. They worked together
00:02:28to abduct the girl, exploiting her kindness and willingness to help others. However, the speed of the
00:02:35police investigation couldn't keep up with the perpetrator's actions. One perpetrator feigned a
00:02:40disability and intentionally fell in front of the girl. She instinctively went to help him, but he
00:02:46suddenly attacked her from behind with a stun gun. His accomplice, waiting nearby in a car, quickly
00:02:52whisked her away. The horrors that awaited her were unimaginable. The investigative team quickly
00:02:58conducted a criminal psychological profile to narrow down the suspects. The victims initially followed the
00:03:05perpetrator willingly, suggesting that the perpetrator had a non-threatening appearance and was
00:03:10likely between 20 and 30 years old. Based on the timing of the crime and the body disposal,
00:03:16it appeared the perpetrator had no fixed occupation or was possibly self-employed. Judging by the nature
00:03:22of the torture, it was highly likely that he had been abused as a child or had experienced domestic
00:03:28violence. However, based on this alone, it was difficult to pinpoint a specific suspect. But the sharp-eyed
00:03:35Hiyan Jun noticed a tattoo on the perpetrator's wrist in the video. The tech team immediately enhanced the
00:03:41video for a clearer image. Seeing the familiar star tattoo, Detective Lee Han jumped up. It turned out the tattoo
00:03:49read, Culture. Culture was the name of a clandestine live streaming website specializing in producing fake SM
00:03:56videos. The operator of Culture, Yi Diok, had been imprisoned multiple times for violent offenses. According to his records,
00:04:04he suffered from domestic abuse as a child. This aligned almost perfectly with the police's
00:04:10psychological profile. Currently, Yi Diok had registered a new company. As soon as the police
00:04:16arrived at the location, they heard agonizing screams. The criminal looked directly into the camera as he
00:04:22beat a young woman, ignoring her pleas. He showed no intention of stopping. The enraged female officer
00:04:29subdued him and listened to his confession. The place appeared to be a legitimate trading company.
00:04:35But in reality, it was a secret location for filming pornographic videos. What they had just witnessed
00:04:41was staged. Upon questioning, the police learned that he and Yi Diok had worked together at Culture.
00:04:47Therefore, both had the same tattoo on their wrists. Meanwhile, Mr. Kang and Hyun Joon stormed Yi Diok's house,
00:04:55but his father blocked the entrance. Hearing the commotion, Yi Diok fled. Hyun Joon immediately pursued him
00:05:02to the rooftop. Terrified of returning to prison, Yi Diok jumped from the rooftop, dying instantly. But Mr. Kang
00:05:10found a piece of the victim's fingernail in Yi Diok's bedroom, confirming his involvement in the crime.
00:05:16However, the messy state of his room completely contradicted the controlled nature of the mastermind.
00:05:22The room had no mirrors, a typical characteristic of self-denial. Therefore, Yi Diok must have been
00:05:28the controlled accomplice. Sure enough, Mr. Kang found a group photo in Yi Diok's room. According to
00:05:35the criminal's confession, besides Yi Diok, there was another person named Young Sub who also had the
00:05:41tattoo on his wrist. This person also worked at Esk Share. When they knocked on Young Sub's door,
00:05:47his wife nervously buttoned her shirt, as if trying to conceal something. Upon entering,
00:05:53they noticed the meticulously clean and organized room. His wife claimed she hadn't been able to contact
00:05:59her husband for a long time. Upon hearing of Yi Diok's death, Young Sub's wife, Yoo Ka-young,
00:06:05seemed startled and quickly stated that her husband only knew him casually.
00:06:10Hyun Joon noticed a collection of liquor bottles in the corner and asked,
00:06:14Your husband seems to enjoy drinking. Yoo Ka-young replied, No, that's me.
00:06:20Sensing Yoo Ka-young's evasiveness, they left their business cards and purposely departed.
00:06:26But Mr. Kang had already noticed the excessive tidiness of the room, and the mirrors placed
00:06:31everywhere, as if to control every corner of the house. This was a typical characteristic of an
00:06:37abuser. He also noticed signs of abuse on Yoo Ka-young. They decided to stake out the house.
00:06:43Anxious, Yoo Ka-young tried calling her husband, but couldn't reach him. She also astutely realized
00:06:49the police were nearby. Suddenly, there was a noise from upstairs, but by the time the police reacted,
00:06:55it was too late. Yoo Ka-young had jumped out the window and escaped. They worried that if Young Sub knew
00:07:02he was being watched by the police, he would definitely take drastic measures. But while the
00:07:07police were searching for Yoo Ka-young, she unexpectedly arrived at the police station, covered in injuries.
00:07:13Yoo Ka-young admitted to telling her husband about the police investigation. To her horror,
00:07:18he didn't say anything but simply beat her. Interrogated by Mr. Kang, Yoo Ka-young finally
00:07:24confessed the truth. Actually, I don't drink. He's usually very caring and kind. But as soon as he
00:07:31drinks, he becomes abusive. Noticing the ring on her finger, the female officer remarked,
00:07:37that belongs to the victim. Panicked, Yoo Ka-young quickly removed the ring and threw it on the floor.
00:07:44After regaining consciousness, she revealed her husband's location. The police swiftly apprehended him
00:07:50and found the murder weapon in his car. When he saw the wall covered with photos of the victims,
00:07:56he feigned fear and disgust. Despite the overwhelming evidence, he maintained a calm facade
00:08:02and refused to confess. Hoping to quickly locate the hostage, the police persuaded Yoo Ka-young to talk to
00:08:09her husband. She looked into her husband's eyes, then at the victim's photos on the wall, and urged him to
00:08:15reveal the missing girl's location. But he vehemently denied any involvement. I didn't harm anyone,
00:08:22I'll never tell you. Hearing this, Yoo Ka-young gave up. She couldn't believe her husband was a murderer,
00:08:28and she couldn't bear to think about how she would live alone. Seeing her apparent fragility,
00:08:33everyone felt sympathy. But Mr. Kang became suspicious. He noticed that while the husband's
00:08:39car was messy, their house was excessively tidy. Neither he nor Yi Diok had been abused by their
00:08:46mothers, which didn't fit the police's profile. They reviewed the interrogation video and observed that
00:08:52the husband consistently maintained a calm demeanor, exhibiting defensive body language. When he looked at
00:08:58the victim's photos, his fear and disgust seemed feigned. Yoo Ka-young, on the other hand, was entirely
00:09:05different. She showed no fear and even proactively looked into her husband's eyes. Her calmness was
00:09:11unsettling. Young-sub seemed to constantly observe Yoo Ka-young, as if waiting for her instructions. At this
00:09:18point, Mr. Kang realized that Yoo Ka-young was feigning weakness to manipulate her husband into taking the
00:09:24blame. Finally, the audio from the interrogation confirmed his suspicion. One phrase from the husband
00:09:31gave him away. That bitch, that kind deserves to die. It turned out Yoo Ka-young had played the victim,
00:09:38manipulating Yi Diok and Young-sub into carrying out her plans. When the police called the team
00:09:44escorting Yoo Ka-young, they received the news that she had stunned her escort, stolen the car keys,
00:09:49and escaped. Yoo Ka-young decided to deal with the hostage, but strangely, despite knowing the police were
00:09:56watching her, she still took the risk. Mr. Kang deduced that Yoo Ka-young was confident in her ability
00:10:02to control her husband. She didn't want the police to find Young-sub first, so she made a preemptive
00:10:08strike. After further investigation, the police discovered the root of Yoo Ka-young's motives lay in
00:10:14her past. They found medical records revealing that when she was 15, the hospital discovered she had been
00:10:21sexually assaulted and helped her report it to the police. At that time, the police investigated her
00:10:27stepfather as a suspect. However, the investigative team couldn't understand why, despite being assaulted
00:10:34by her stepfather, Yoo Ka-young targeted the victim's mothers. It turned out Yoo Ka-young's mother had forced
00:10:39her to conceal the truth and recant her testimony. This allowed her stepfather to escape suspicion.
00:10:45From then on, Yoo Ka-young's life became a living hell. Even the mothers she trusted most had failed to
00:10:52protect her. As a result, she developed an intense hatred of this familial bond. Her psyche became
00:10:59distorted, and she began committing these crimes to inflict pain on the victims and their mothers.
00:11:05Mr. Kang realized they couldn't wait any longer and had to obtain a confession from Young-sub
00:11:10immediately. He lied, claiming he'd found evidence of Yoo Ka-young's guilt, aiming to shatter Young-sub's
00:11:17trust in her. The first two victims had Yi Diok's DNA, but by the third, Yi Diok was scared and refused to
00:11:24participate. That's when Yoo Ka-young deliberately approached Young-sub. Yi Diok committed suicide to avoid
00:11:31prison. A coward like him couldn't possibly have collected the victim's fingernails as trophies.
00:11:37There was only one possibility, Yoo Ka-young had framed him. From the beginning, she manipulated
00:11:43both men to take the fall for her. Seeing Young-sub unraveling, the investigators delivered the final
00:11:49blow. They played a video found in his house, documenting his torture of a victim. This was the
00:11:55evidence Yoo Ka-young had planted to frame him, ensuring her own escape. To Yoo Ka-young, men were
00:12:02disposable. You're just another tool to be discarded, like Yi Diok. Realizing the truth,
00:12:08Young-sub revealed the location of the latest victim. But by the time they arrived, Yoo Ka-young had
00:12:14already moved her. Fortunately, after a struggle, they stopped her just as she was about to stab the
00:12:20girl. A female officer tackled her and subdued her. The torture case was closed. However, the team
00:12:28immediately faced a new one, the Southwest's serial killer. A witness was severely traumatized after
00:12:34discovering a blood-soaked female body. This is Korea, a small country overflowing with deviance.
00:12:41In the past few months, four similar murders had occurred. The victims were all attractive young
00:12:47women. The killer stalked his prey through a used goods trading website, luring them with bargain
00:12:53prices. When the women arrived for the in-person exchange, he'd concoct various excuses to get
00:12:59them into his car, knock them unconscious, and transport them to secluded locations. There,
00:13:05he'd imprison them in dark, terrifying cages. He was meticulous, leaving no trace. Not only did he clip
00:13:12the victim's fingernails, but he also used alcohol to destroy any remaining evidence. Consequently,
00:13:19the police had nothing on him. Reviewing the four cases, the police noticed the victims all
00:13:24disappeared on holidays. Their survival times after disappearance were three days, six days,
00:13:30and five days, respectively. They deduced the fourth victim had only four days left,
00:13:36giving the police less than a day to rescue her. However, Captain Kang believed the fourth victim was
00:13:42already dead. He reviewed the missing person's reports and discovered one the police hadn't investigated.
00:13:48At the time, the girl's death was attributed to a fall caused by heavy rain. But in reality,
00:13:55she was the fifth victim, and her survival time was only three days. Her decomposing body was found in
00:14:01a dumpster. The modus operandi matched the previous cases. The killer not only disposed of the fingernails,
00:14:08but also covered the victim's eyes with tape to avoid identification. The bodies showed signs of sexual
00:14:14assault, but the perpetrator hadn't had intercourse with them. The only difference this time was a sign
00:14:20of hesitation from the killer. Captain Kang believed he was intentionally misleading the police. The police
00:14:27quickly conducted a criminal profile. Since the killer could delete records from the trading website,
00:14:33they deduced he was a tech-savvy young man. His ability to lure women into his car without raising
00:14:39suspicion suggested a pleasant but unremarkable appearance. The marks on the victims' bodies
00:14:44indicated he relished the process, possibly even addicted to the act. He likely suffered psychological
00:14:51trauma in his childhood, leading to obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Killing became his way of asserting power.
00:14:58Before their deaths, the victims were assaulted, but there was no evidence of intercourse. This suggested a
00:15:05physical defect. Captain Kang speculated that he might have started offending in his youth.
00:15:10The time between the killer's attacks was shortening. They had to catch him quickly. As predicted,
00:15:16the killer had his eye on a new target, Na Young, Officer Hyun Joon's younger sister. She was planning to
00:15:23buy him shoes online, unaware she was walking into the killer's trap. She arrived at the meeting point,
00:15:30and the perpetrator made an excuse to lure her into his car. Yoo Kion, wary of the crowded street,
00:15:36reluctantly got in. As soon as she did, he locked the doors. Sensing danger, Na Young quietly called
00:15:43Hyun Joon. But he was on another call. He called back as soon as he was finished. Yoo Kion's phone rang,
00:15:50but she didn't dare answer, which only excited the perpetrator. Unexpectedly, Na Young's voice came
00:15:57through the phone. Hello? It's Na Young. You didn't answer earlier. Hello? Hello? Yoo Kion remained
00:16:04silent. The police suspected this case was connected to the previous ones due to similarities in the
00:16:10victim's ages, the perpetrator's appearance, and the timing around holidays. Hyun Joon tracked Na Young's
00:16:16movements and saw her arrive at the car, then disappear from view. But Hyun Joon remembered that 10 minutes
00:16:23prior, his sister had sent him a voice message. Oppa, I have something to tell you. Unable to reach him,
00:16:29she had stopped at a street vendor's car to cross the street. Hyun Joon questioned the vendor, who
00:16:35confirmed that Na Young had gotten into a silver car, but couldn't recall the license plate. Fortunately,
00:16:42Hyun Joon noticed a nearby traffic camera, which helped them identify the vehicle. A female officer,
00:16:48pretending to be a new driver, staged a minor accident with the car to lure the perpetrator to
00:16:53a parking lot where they could apprehend him. However, he refused to reveal Na Young's location.
00:17:00They found an encrypted computer at the perpetrator's home. Decrypting it could lead them to Na Young.
00:17:05But the computer had a self-destruct mechanism. Five incorrect password attempts would wipe the memory.
00:17:12Captain Kang noticed something else. There were signs of struggle on the previous victims' bodies.
00:17:17But Yi Min, the perpetrator, had no injuries. The autopsy revealed the killer had used tape to
00:17:23cover the victim's eyes. This time, such a meticulous and obsessive individual had dumped
00:17:29the body in a public place. If the perpetrator didn't have multiple personalities, it meant
00:17:34Yi Min had an accomplice, the mastermind. While intelligent, Yi Min had a submissive personality.
00:17:41Therefore, the accomplice pretended to protect Yi Min, but actually treated him as a pawn,
00:17:46exploiting his insecurities around women. The police quickly discovered Yi Min had spent
00:17:51three years in juvenile detention for theft. Children in juvenile detention often seek protection,
00:17:58so they were sure to find clues about the accomplice there. Officer Sang Chul was skeptical,
00:18:03as Yi Min had no friends at the time. Then, an officer had a thought, what about someone who used to be
00:18:09Yi Min's friend? Who was this person? A friend from juvenile detention named Han Ti. Coincidentally,
00:18:17they found Han Ti's business card while searching Hyun Joon's car. Han Ti had been in and out of
00:18:23juvenile detention since he was 15 and currently worked at an auto repair shop. However, the killer
00:18:29was one step ahead. When the police arrived at the auto repair shop, Han Ti had been murdered. But before
00:18:36his death, he showed signs of fear, yet had no defensive wounds, suggesting he was killed off
00:18:42guard. The killer had stabbed Han Ti in the mouth, seemingly as punishment for informing and as a
00:18:48warning. The victim's last call was to the police. He had also packed his bags and passport, as if
00:18:55preparing to escape someone's control. Captain Kang suspected something had happened in juvenile detention
00:19:01all those years ago. Yi Min and Han Ti were being manipulated into harming women. The real
00:19:07perpetrator had silenced Han Ti. Something definitely happened between the three of them. According to a
00:19:13juvenile detention officer, Yi Min was constantly bullied by Han Ti and his gang. He had even attempted
00:19:20suicide to escape the torment. With his past trauma exposed, Yi Min recounted what happened. In their room,
00:19:27after being beaten unconscious, he would be held down on a table. Then, one of the bullies would
00:19:33sexually assault him. Until someone appeared, someone who became his savior. Want me to take care of one
00:19:39of them? What can you give me in return? Anything. Then we'll always be together. Choose one. Choose.
00:19:47Yi Min pointed to his attacker, and the newcomer dealt with him as promised. Han Ti, lucky to survive,
00:19:54became subservient to this person, helping him carry out his murderous plans. He didn't mention
00:20:00the person's name. But the only one who could resolve their conflicts and exert control over them
00:20:05was a correctional officer. However, the police investigated all the officers at the juvenile
00:20:11detention center from that year and found no suspects. Then, Hyun Jun realized the only others who
00:20:17could freely enter and exit the facility and held authority comparable to officers were the supervisors.
00:20:24Suddenly, a female officer recalled someone connected to both Yi Min and Han Ti who also suffered from
00:20:30obsessive-compulsive disorder, Sang Chul, the supervisor she had questioned earlier. To avoid tipping him off,
00:20:37they decided to wait outside Sang Chul's house and observed him leaving in the middle of the night.
00:20:43After tailing him for a while, Hyun Jun realized Sang Chul seemed to be deliberately taking a circuitous
00:20:49route, so they forced him to stop. They then realized they'd fallen for a diversionary tactic.
00:20:55Sang Chul was eager to deal with his captive. Fortunately, the tech team decrypted Yi Min's
00:21:01computer and discovered he was monitoring the victim via live video feed. Officer Lee Han astutely
00:21:08observed a light bulb swinging in the cage with a consistent rhythm and periodic shaking. They deduced Na Young was
00:21:14being held on a boat, and the only location with a clear line of sight for a live video feed was the
00:21:20Han River. However, with over 600 boats docked on the river, finding her was like searching for a needle in a
00:21:27back. With less than an hour left, Captain Kang knew they had to pressure Yi Min for information.
00:21:33He ordered the temperature in the interrogation room lowered, knowing that a drop in body temperature
00:21:39slows brain function. Then, he had a box filled with blank papers labeled with Sang Chul's name brought in,
00:21:46creating the illusion that they had evidence against him and that Sang Chul was already in custody.
00:21:51Seeing Yi Min's anxiety rise, Captain Kang probed,
00:21:55was it your idea to imprison women on a boat? He's pinning everything on you,
00:22:00yet you're still here protecting him. Hearing this, Yi Min reacted strongly, convinced Sang Chul
00:22:06wasn't capable of such acts. As Yi Min neared his breaking point, Captain Kang pressed on his
00:22:12vulnerability. Sang Chul exploited your sincerity, used you even more than Han Ti. He's nothing but a
00:22:18bloodthirsty monster. Stop it, just stop, Captain Kang produced a photo of Yi Min's family.
00:22:25attempting to awaken his conscience. Seizing the opportunity, Captain Kang showed him a picture
00:22:31of Na Young and asked about her whereabouts. But by the time Hyun Joon arrived at the location,
00:22:37Sang Chul had moved Na Young. He had chained her by the neck and dragged her deep into the woods.
00:22:43Based on Captain Kang's profile of Sang Chul, he was the type to sacrifice his own life to complete his
00:22:49twisted plan. Even with only ten minutes left, he would wait for the perfect moment to strike.
00:22:55Someone discovered an abandoned juvenile detention center nearby that Sang Chul frequently visited on
00:23:01weekends. Years ago, there had been a fire at the facility that coincided with Sang Chul's
00:23:07departure from his job there. Captain Kang believed this was where Sang Chul would kill Na Young. Just as
00:23:13Sang Chul was about to act, they arrived, creating a distraction. Captain Kang deliberately provoked him.
00:23:20You've never had a girlfriend, have you? You wouldn't even dare talk to a woman without resorting
00:23:25to violence, would you? It turned out that years ago, after being rejected by a girl,
00:23:31Sang Chul believed everyone was mocking him, and he set fire to the juvenile detention center.
00:23:37Realizing his impotence, his psyche became warped. He began abducting and killing women
00:23:43because it was the only way he could feel powerful. Enraged, Sang Chul was about to fire when Captain
00:23:49Kang, with lightning-fast reflexes, overpowered him and rescued Na Young.
00:23:54The serial murder case in the Southwest had just concluded when the seven-year-old unsolved
00:23:59Belly Ripper case resurfaced. Korea, a small country, seemed to harbor a disproportionate
00:24:05number of deviants. In 2000, a horrific string of murders had terrorized the nation.
00:24:11The killer carried out 12 brutal attacks, claiming 21 victims regardless of age or gender.
00:24:18His modus operandi was chillingly consistent. He would first attack the male, incapacitating him,
00:24:24then force him to watch as he brutally murdered the accompanying female.
00:24:28He would then take a trophy from the bodies, leaving it for his next victims. He even taunted
00:24:33the police with an audio recording of one of his crimes. I dealt with two people. I used a knife.
00:24:40No matter how many times I do this, it's tiring. Maybe if I keep doing it, I'll get used to killing
00:24:46people. Then, abruptly, the killings stopped. Ten years later, on his deathbed, the former police
00:24:53chief revealed a long-held secret to Captain Kang. If you stop investigating me, as long as I live,
00:25:00I will cease my hunt. If you dare to continue, your family will be next. It turned out he had made a
00:25:06deal with the killer, disbanding the investigation team in exchange for his family's safety. Now,
00:25:12with the former chief nearing death, they knew the killer would resume his spree, targeting Captain Kang
00:25:18and the new special investigation team. That very night, the killer struck, choosing a young couple
00:25:24as his prey. While the man was outside on his phone, the killer plunged a knife into his abdomen,
00:25:30severed his Achilles tendon, and tied him to the driver's seat. He then drew a gleaming knife
00:25:36and murdered the young woman right before the man's eyes, reveling in his agony. The bodies were
00:25:41discovered the next day. The special investigation team was horrified to find the killer's signature
00:25:47marked the eyeglasses of a previous victim left on the scene. The glasses belonged to Yong Chial,
00:25:53the sole survivor of the belly ripper attacks seven years prior. Yong Chial had been stabbed
00:25:59dozens of times but miraculously survived. The team surmised the killer left Yong Chial's glasses
00:26:05as a way of making amends for his previous failure and as a message to them, a message they had
00:26:10to decipher before he struck again. But as the killer vanished, so did Yong Chial. Fortunately,
00:26:17a book analyzing the belly ripper case, detailing the attacks, was circulating. The team suspected
00:26:23the journalist who wrote the book had a connection to Yong Chial. Tracking the journalist's recent
00:26:29activity, they discovered he frequently called a specific public payphone. Captain Kang tried calling
00:26:35the journalist's number from the payphone. Hello, is this Yong Chial? It's Kai Hyang. Finally,
00:26:42through the journalist, they located Yong Chial. Upon seeing the glasses, he was gripped by terror.
00:26:48He's back? He's a demon. He recounted the night of his attack. He had been about to propose to his
00:26:54girlfriend, Yoo, when the killer knocked on his car window. He was stabbed over 30 times. Though he survived,
00:27:01he was forced to watch as the killer murdered Yoo, her hand clutched tightly in his. It was agonizing.
00:27:08I tried to pry her fingers open, but I couldn't. Since then, he had relied on peppermint candies to
00:27:15soothe his anxiety, living in fear while the killer roamed free, unprotected by the very police force
00:27:21meant to keep him safe. The police were forced to revisit the old case files, desperately searching for
00:27:27new leads. Just then, the killer called Captain Kang directly. Are you going to stick to your convictions?
00:27:34Is that how you want to be recognized? You're just a murderer yourself, killing people because you
00:27:39can't accept your own insecurities. So, you're refusing my deal. You have no new ideas. What surprises
00:27:46can you possibly offer me? I won't disappoint you. Preparing his own surprise for Captain Kang,
00:27:52the killer targeted a family of four on a camping trip. The screams of the older couple shattered
00:27:58the night's stillness. A young boy, covering his younger sister's mouth, hid behind a tree,
00:28:04but the killer had already spotted them. As the boy frantically called for help, his voice trembled.
00:28:10Hello, can you hear me? Hello, someone's dead here. This time, the killer placed the watch of his
00:28:17previous victim on the dead woman's ankle. He deliberately released the two children who
00:28:22witnessed the crime, giving them a photograph to deliver to the police. When Hyun Joon saw the
00:28:27photo, he froze. It depicted Captain Kang's wife and child. The killer's taunting call followed.
00:28:34I assume you received my gift. So, what do you think? Ready to make a deal now? Why aren't you
00:28:40saying anything? Where's all your bravado now? Don't involve the children. Just wait, things are about to
00:28:47get much more interesting. The special investigation team immediately locked down the exits and reviewed
00:28:53the mall's security footage. They saw the killer leading the children out of the mall through a
00:28:58second-floor exit 25 minutes earlier. Hyun Joon gave chase, relieved to find the boy safe. Shaken,
00:29:05Captain Kang arranged for another agent to escort his wife and child to a secure location. Based on the
00:29:12children's descriptions, a profile of the perpetrator was created. The task force narrowed down their
00:29:18suspect list to three individuals matching the criteria, one of whom, Jin Hwan, had emigrated
00:29:24three years prior. The second had an alibi for the time of the camping ground murders. The whereabouts of
00:29:30Seo Jin Hwan remained unknown. But the killer didn't give the police any respite. That night, disguised as a
00:29:38traffic officer, he stopped a car and claimed another couple. The crime scene was even more brutal.
00:29:44This time, the killer left a necklace and took a ring. The police suspected Jin Hwan, as the crime
00:29:51scene was near his home. Raiding his house, they found a picture of the grandmother and grandson among
00:29:56photos of other victims plastered on his wall, seemingly confirming their suspicions. They also found a
00:30:02photo of Yong Cheol, leading them to believe the killer was still fixated on him. They set up
00:30:08surveillance near Yong Cheol's home, and sure enough, Jin Hwan appeared. He spotted the police and fled,
00:30:15but was apprehended after a chase. The killer who had terrorized Korea was finally caught.
00:30:21But Yong Cheol, instead of relief, expressed unease, is he really the killer? For now, he is. All the evidence
00:30:29points to him with 90% certainty. But what about the remaining 10%? What if it's hiding the truth?
00:30:36A USB drive found in Jin Hwan's house revealed numerous photos of the victims. Before interrogation
00:30:43even began, Jin Hwan confessed, detailing his crimes. However, Kai Haeung noticed inconsistencies.
00:30:51He immediately asserted that Jin Hwan wasn't the killer. His account of the third murder didn't
00:30:56match the facts. The killer hadn't started using public phones to contact the police until after
00:31:02the fourth murder. Furthermore, his colleagues observed Jin Hwan's behavior. Head bowed, biting his
00:31:09lip, and constantly scratching the back of his hand signs of extreme anxiety and stress, as if under
00:31:15duress. Recalling the killer's threats against his family, Hyun Joon focused on the photo in Jin Hwan's
00:31:21computer. He suspected Jin Hwan's family was being held hostage, pawns in the real killer's game.
00:31:28Jin Hwan's whispered confession confirmed his fears. My family, they're in his hands. At that very
00:31:35moment, the police department's network was under attack by a hacker. The source of the attack was
00:31:41traced back to Jin Hwan and the USB drive found in his home. This proved that the killer had been
00:31:47systematically leading the police into a trap. Suddenly, Hyun Joon remembered a previously
00:31:53overlooked detail. The child witness had mentioned the killer smelled of peppermint. Captain Kai Haeung
00:31:59connected the dots. After that day, Yong Chiu learned that Yun Jin's hand had been tightly clenched.
00:32:06At that time, Yong Chiu had been stabbed dozens of times by the killer. So, could the truth be entirely
00:32:13different? The truth gradually surfaced, revealing Yong Chiu as the murderer responsible for dozens of
00:32:19lives. He had been pretending to be a survivor. While the task force was still reeling from the shock,
00:32:25a video was unexpectedly decrypted from the USB drive.
00:32:29Boo, did I scare you? Isn't this more exciting now? See these two people here? Are you going to come
00:32:36running to save them? Kai Haeung was instantly gripped by panic. Without a second thought,
00:32:42he decided to go and save his children. His colleagues discovered that the video was pre-recorded.
00:32:48The victims had already been brutally murdered. The killer's intention was to make Kai Haeung lose
00:32:54both his family and his faith. Kai Haeung's anxiety intensified when images of the agents assigned to
00:33:01protect his family appeared on the USB. He immediately sensed something was wrong and tried
00:33:06calling the agents, but none of them answered. As he feared, something terrible had happened.
00:33:12When the task force arrived at the safe house, they found the agents critically injured and dying.
00:33:18From their accounts, the task force learned the killer had impersonated a police officer.
00:33:23He had used an agent's phone to call Kai Haeung's wife, falsely claiming that not only had her
00:33:29security detail been killed, but Kai Haeung had also perished. Upon hearing this,
00:33:34Kai Haeung's wife collapsed, unable to think clearly. Ultimately, she followed the killer's
00:33:40instructions, she discarded her phone to avoid being tracked and took her child to a pre-arranged
00:33:46location. While Kai Haeung frantically searched for his wife and child, he received a call from the
00:33:52killer. Do you understand what true pain is now? You've never truly lived, the people you love,
00:33:58your home, their happy laughter, so I want to take all of that away from you.
00:34:03The killer lured his wife back home and held her hostage. He forced Kai Haeung to face a final
00:34:09showdown. Honey, I really wanted to see you one last time, but I guess I can't, I'm sorry.
00:34:17When Kai Haeung rushed home, he found his wife lying in a pool of blood. Suddenly, he saw a pair of feet
00:34:23protruding from behind the curtains and fired several shots. But all the bullets hit a bulletproof
00:34:29vest. The two men engaged in a fierce struggle. In this moment, all his pain and rage transformed
00:34:36into strength. He wanted nothing more than to kill the murderer with his own hands.
00:34:41Die, die, die. A captain controlled by those who don't deserve to live would lose his reason for
00:34:48living. Kai Haeung regained his composure, suddenly remembering his son. Fortunately, the killer hadn't
00:34:55found the boy. But his wife's tragic death became a lifelong wound. However, the irony was that just 15
00:35:02days after his arrest, the killer feigned a seizure and successfully escaped during a hospital transfer.
00:35:09He once again became a nightmare, plunging the South Korean public into terror. At the same time,
00:35:15a series of murders targeting beautiful women began. These women, dressed seductively, went to
00:35:21provide services, unaware that their drinks had been laced with a powerful sedative. After the women
00:35:27consumed the drugged drinks and passed out, the following morning, a real estate agent showing a
00:35:33model apartment discovered a body inside a kitchen cabinet. Everyone present was horrified and
00:35:38screamed. Confronted with the bloody scene, the police, alerted by a report, arrived at the model
00:35:45apartment to investigate. They discovered the killer had used kitchen knives from the model
00:35:50apartment to cook and had also been drinking. He'd even casually watched TV and taken a bath after the
00:35:56murder. Strangely, the perpetrator had bludgeoned the victim to death with a blunt object right there in
00:36:02the apartment. The scene showed significant blood spatter, yet the floor was oddly clean, devoid of
00:36:09any trace. If the killer could calmly deal with the aftermath and enjoy a bath, it suggested he wasn't
00:36:15worried about leaving evidence. If he was so confident, why bother cleaning up the blood?
00:36:21Hyun June speculated that the perpetrator's actions weren't about destroying evidence, but simply tidying
00:36:27up. Clearly, he treated the model apartment as his own home. This was the third similar case recently.
00:36:34All occurred in model apartments with fixed layouts and the method was always bludgeoning with a blunt
00:36:40object. The task force suspected the same killer was responsible. However, besides construction workers
00:36:47and real estate agents, potential buyers and promotional staff also had free access to the model
00:36:53apartments. Identifying the suspect wouldn't be easy. Meanwhile, the killer accelerated his pace.
00:37:00This time, he chose his target through a dating app. As he requested, the woman, dressed in business
00:37:06attire and wearing glasses, arrived at the designated location. Upon arrival, she found the entire floor
00:37:13deserted. The man couldn't hide his excitement. He invited her to his place, but she seemed to sense
00:37:19something amiss. Can we go to a hotel nearby? Why come to a place like this instead of going home?
00:37:26I'll pay for the hotel. The enticing offer proved too tempting to refuse, and she unknowingly walked
00:37:33into a trap. The place was empty, not at all like someone lived there. The cold, gloomy atmosphere
00:37:40frightened her. The man deliberately prepared a candlelit dinner, putting her at ease enough to sit down.
00:37:46He even romantically scattered flower petals in the bathtub. But the more she thought about it,
00:37:51the more something felt wrong. She feigned a headache and said she needed to go downstairs to
00:37:57buy medicine. But he had no intention of letting her leave. He brutally smashed her head with a wrench,
00:38:03turning her into a lamb awaiting slaughter. The man planned to repeat his old trick, enjoying a
00:38:09candlelit dinner with this woman in the beautiful model apartment. Unexpectedly, the sound of the door
00:38:15opening interrupted him. It was a young man posting advertisements for the model apartment. During a
00:38:21brief struggle, he saw the woman slumped in the corner but said nothing. Instead, he cleverly slipped
00:38:27away and called the police, but the criminal followed him and brutally attacked him with the wrench.
00:38:34When the police arrived to examine the model apartment, they recognized the work of the same
00:38:38perpetrator. The victim's phone had an 18-plus app installed, confirming the task force's earlier
00:38:45suspicions. The previous three victims had low incomes but extravagant spending habits. Min Young
00:38:52discovered they had all registered and used the same app. Clearly, the killer used this method to
00:38:57select his targets. They noticed the water and electricity in the apartment had been used for about
00:39:0315 days, indicating the killer had no fixed abode and was merely squatting in these model homes.
00:39:10At this point, Min Young discovered a similar assault had occurred a week before the current case.
00:39:16The perpetrator had lured the victim to a location under the guise of providing a service.
00:39:21Upon arriving, the woman found herself at a newly constructed building, devoid of residence.
00:39:26Before she could grasp the situation, a masked man dragged her inside. She realized it wasn't his home.
00:39:34As she tried to leave, he suddenly unleashed a flurry of punches. The woman fell to her knees,
00:39:39pleading, please don't hurt me. I have young children, and I'm the only one who takes care of them.
00:39:46They'll starve without me. Please, I beg you. Fortunately, her son called at that moment,
00:39:52causing the man to hesitate. The woman seized this brief opportunity, got up, and ran. She flagged
00:39:59down a car on the street and cried for help. The attacker abandoned his assault and fled the scene.
00:40:05Based on the survivor's description, he wore a shabby coat. His shoes were caked with mud. His speech was
00:40:11slurred, and he reeked of alcohol. He also carried a strange object, described as a plum bob with a long,
00:40:18pointed tip, like a bullet, seemingly attached to a chain. Based on this description, Lee Han sketched
00:40:25the object. They identified it as a plum bob used to check the vertical alignment of structures,
00:40:31commonly found on construction sites. The police immediately began to develop a psychological
00:40:36profile of the perpetrator. Given the model apartment's representation of a perfect home,
00:40:42his frequent visits suggested he fantasized about the space as his own ideal dwelling.
00:40:47Within this fantasy, he envisioned himself with his preferred type of woman. When this illusion
00:40:53shattered, he became agitated and lashed out. It was likely the type of woman he targeted was
00:40:58connected to the source of his psychological distortion, possibly a parent or lover. He viewed
00:41:04the model apartment as his sanctuary and couldn't bear to see it defiled. Combining the survivor's
00:41:10account and the method of attack, the perpetrator likely worked at a construction site or was involved
00:41:16in the model apartment's construction. The perpetrator's alcohol use was also noteworthy.
00:41:22He might have relied on alcohol to intensify his fantasies. If so, his impulsive behavior would
00:41:28become increasingly difficult to control, making it crucial to apprehend him quickly. Fortunately,
00:41:34the police found a suspect matching the survivor's description in surveillance footage from a store across
00:41:40from the fourth crime scene. Backtracking his movements, they discovered his last known location
00:41:46near an elevated road construction site. Hyun Joon went there to investigate and spotted a homeless man
00:41:52frantically trying to leave. Recognizing him, Hyun Joon apprehended the man and discovered the victim's
00:41:59clothes and a hammer in his backpack. The man claimed he had found the items. Upon learning they belonged to
00:42:05the victim, he feigned surprise and hastily admitted to stealing them from someone named Kang. He insisted
00:42:12he was at a homeless shelter during the time of the incident, corroborated by other homeless individuals.
00:42:18Clearly, he wasn't the perpetrator. He knew nothing else about this Kang. The police released the
00:42:25suspect's description to the public. A construction site provided a lead, a man named Kang Teksu. A few months
00:42:33prior, he had worked for an interior decorating company. His supervisor described him as peculiar.
00:42:39After completing a house, he would leave a plum bob mark and sometimes stay overnight, as if it were his
00:42:45own home. However, the identity he registered with was fake. As the investigation stalled, Kang Dong Joon,
00:42:53claiming to be the suspect's brother, arrived at the police station, stating, I think the suspect you're
00:42:59looking for is my younger brother. According to the older brother's account, their family moved
00:43:04frequently during his childhood. Their father was an architect but never owned their own home.
00:43:10Unable to bear the strain, their mother stole the rent money and abandoned them. Ultimately,
00:43:16their father, unable to cope with the shock, took his own life. Although the two brothers survived,
00:43:22their family was shattered in an instant, leaving the younger brother, Kang Dong Min, with a deep-seated
00:43:28obsession with houses. The police sent photos to surviving victims for identification, confirming
00:43:34Dong Min as the perpetrator. Dong Joon revealed that his brother had been wandering around a specific area,
00:43:40prompting the police to search there. The homeless people in the area said they hadn't seen Dong Min for
00:43:46a week. However, Hyun Joon noticed plum bob markings on a nearby wall the perpetrator's signature left at
00:43:53places where he'd spent the night. Following these markings might lead them to Dong Min.
00:43:58Unexpectedly, when the police arrived at the targeted warehouse, an explosion occurred, resulting in
00:44:04the death of Dong Min. Based on the leftover alcohol bottle and gas canister, the police initially suspected
00:44:11an accidental explosion. However, Hyun Joon discovered evidence of intentionally spilled gasoline. At the same time,
00:44:19his colleague found a crucial clue. Surveillance footage from a nearby underpass showed Dong Min in an
00:44:25altercation with a homeless person, resulting in Dong Min being stabbed and injured. The suspect's image
00:44:32captured by a dashcam just before the warehouse explosion didn't match the appearance of someone
00:44:37with a stab wound. In retrospect, the timing was suspicious. The explosion occurred almost immediately
00:44:44after the police located Dong Min. Kai Haing suspected someone was manipulating the situation,
00:44:50which brought to mind the older brother's suspicious behavior. At the time, Dong Joon had bloodshot eyes,
00:44:56dry cracked lips, constantly drank water, and kept wiping his sweaty palms. These were classic signs of drug
00:45:04poisoning. However, drugs weren't used in the first crime. But, starting with the second crime, the alcohol
00:45:11glasses found at the scenes all tested positive for hallucinogens. The perpetrator had been committing the
00:45:17crimes under the influence of these drugs. Kai Haing theorized that Dong Min committed the first crime. After
00:45:24being stabbed and unable to continue, Dong Joon, knowing his brother was guilty, impersonated him and continued the
00:45:30attacks. When the police publicly investigated Dong Min as the suspect, Dong Joon felt he could no longer maintain the
00:45:38charade. So, he proactively went to the police station, intentionally leading them to Dong Min's location.
00:45:45Then, he waited for the opportunity to set the fire, silencing his brother and framing him for all the
00:45:51crimes. The two brothers grew up in the same environment and shared similar psychological traumas,
00:45:57giving Dong Joon ample motive. Sure enough, after investigating Dong Joon, the police discovered he was going
00:46:04through a divorce, including a dispute over asset division. Furthermore, he was deeply in debt,
00:46:10having even mortgaged his house. Kai Haing didn't immediately expose him, but instead subtly revealed
00:46:16that the police suspected arson, implying Dong Min might have had an accomplice. Upon hearing this, Dong Joon
00:46:23became extremely anxious, falling right into Kai Haing's trap. That night, he rushed home and pulled a
00:46:31blood-soaked notebook from his bag. It was Dong Min's murder diary. As he was about to destroy the
00:46:37evidence, the police stormed in and caught him red-handed. The first murder was committed by Dong
00:46:43Min, but the subsequent ones were carried out by Dong Joon, right? You've been impersonating Dong Min to
00:46:49commit these crimes, haven't you? In that backpack, the police also found Dong Min's clothes with traces of
00:46:55the victim's blood. Faced with such clear evidence, the perpetrator had no choice but to confess the
00:47:01truth. It turned out that while drowning in debt, he learned that his mother had left him a piece of
00:47:07inherited land upon her death. To handle this land, Dong Min's consent was required. So, he began searching
00:47:15everywhere for Dong Min. When he finally found him, Dong Min was severely injured and confessed to his own
00:47:21criminal acts. Dong Joon also discovered Dong Min's murder diary, which clearly detailed his plans to
00:47:28harm people. To experience this feeling, Dong Joon impersonated Dong Min to continue the killings.
00:47:35What happened next was exactly as the police suspected. Ultimately, what awaits him is the
00:47:40judgment of the law. With this, the serial murders at the model homes were solved. Next, the task force
00:47:47would face the insane killer Yong Cheol. On the Phantom Club website, every time a murder novel was
00:47:54published, a real-life case occurred with identical details. The victim in the first case had severe
00:48:00burns all over their body, and their fingernails were pulled out. Then the body was dumped in the
00:48:05wilderness. After the murder, the perpetrator sent a video of the victim's torture to their family.
00:48:11Based on the method of killing and body disposal, this case was identical to the previous series of
00:48:17torture murders. In the second case, the victim was found covered in blood, slumped inside a car.
00:48:24The method was identical to the recently solved series of highway shootings. The victim wore a ring
00:48:30on their wrist, a trophy the perpetrator took from the first victim. This was Yong Cheol's signature.
00:48:36Every time he killed, he took an item from the victim and left it on the next victim. Since 2000,
00:48:42he has committed 15 brutal crimes, taking the lives of 28 people, regardless of age or gender.
00:48:49Among them was the wife of task force leader Kai Haeung. Just 15 days after his arrest,
00:48:56he successfully escaped prison and once again became a nightmare that terrified the people of South Korea.
00:49:02This is the final case in the famous Korean drama Criminal Minds. That night, a girl happened upon
00:49:08a stranger struggling to walk and kindly offered assistance. However, she unknowingly fell into his
00:49:15trap. The next day, the girl's body was found near a demolished building. The investigation revealed it
00:49:21was the place where the girl was born. The perpetrator also sent a video of the victim's torture to her
00:49:27mother. Based on the method and the choice of body disposal location, this case was identical to
00:49:33the previous series of torture murders. What caught the task force's attention was Yong Jin,
00:49:39the first person to discover the body. He found Kai Haeung's business card and a signed book on the body,
00:49:46indicating that the girl had attended the task force's criminal psychology lecture. The book,
00:49:51titled The Origin of Evil, was written by journalist Sun, based on interviews with Yong Cheol. When the
00:49:58police went to the journalist's home to inquire, they discovered they had mysteriously lost contact
00:50:04with him. Shortly afterward, another incident occurred, a female driver was shot in the head with
00:50:09a pistol while driving. Based on the victim's age, gender, the murder weapon, and the location on a deserted
00:50:16road. This crime, mirroring previous cases handled by the special task force, clearly indicated the
00:50:22perpetrator was intentionally targeting them. They sent the book, The Origin of Evil, written by the
00:50:28journalist Sun, for analysis and discovered it was co-authored. The tech team also found a hidden link
00:50:35on the official website redirecting to a dark web forum frequented by Yong Cheol's followers. However,
00:50:41a password was required for access. Through analysis, they traced the website's IP address to a specific
00:50:48page and line in the book. Linking the corresponding letters from that passage formed the word ring,
00:50:54which was the symbolic object Yong Cheol had recently left behind, entering it as the password
00:51:00successfully granted access to the website. To the task force's shock, the details of two recent murders
00:51:07matched the content on the website. Furthermore, the website's update timestamps predated the actual
00:51:13crimes. This meant someone was using the platform to foreshadow murders, and these two instances
00:51:19suggested the copycat had a connection to Yong Cheol. The administrator's IP address was registered on an
00:51:26anonymous server, making it impossible to trace. As the task force hit a dead end, the website updated with
00:51:33a third fictional murder story, describing a murder in a church. Sure enough, a similar incident occurred
00:51:39in reality. The killer attempted to stab an elderly man in a church but failed. The man escaped and hid
00:51:46under a bridge where he encountered another man and pleaded for help. Unexpectedly, this man was an
00:51:52accomplice. The elderly man was brutally murdered with a single slash to the throat. The killer covered the
00:51:59victim's eyes with a black cloth before leaving the scene. The method and details matched a previous
00:52:05serial murder case solved by the task force. At the scene, they found glasses belonging to the
00:52:11journalist, Sun. Simultaneously, the tech team investigating the website found the letters
00:52:17TGP repeatedly appearing in the novel's comments section. Investigation revealed TGP was the abbreviation
00:52:24for a newspaper called The Mysterious World, whose target audience was university students majoring
00:52:30in criminal psychology. The task force went to the newspaper's office to investigate. They discovered
00:52:36an anonymous person had preemptively announced the time and location of the crimes through an
00:52:41advertisement in the paper. This led Kai Haeung to suspect the copycat was among the audience at that
00:52:47day's presentation. He immediately requested security footage from the event and compared it with footage
00:52:53from around the crime scenes, looking for individuals with similar appearances and clothing. Three
00:52:59suspects were identified, all members of the university's deduction club. Just then, Kai Haeung
00:53:05received a call from Yang Cheol. So, how do you like my gift? Do you like surprises? Just wait,
00:53:12things are about to get even more interesting. True to his word, Yang Cheol targeted another young woman.
00:53:19The website's novel now depicted the abduction and murder of a girl through a used goods website,
00:53:25implying the copycat's next crime would mirror a previous serial murder case in the Southwest region.
00:53:31Based on the meeting location described in the novel, the task force quickly identified three
00:53:36potential locations and set up ambushes. Meanwhile, while investigating the victim's information,
00:53:42the special task force discovered that the deceased ran a deduction website abbreviated with the letter
00:53:48H on his ring. One of the three suspects, Kang H-Wang, had a previous romantic relationship with the
00:53:54victim. Hidden social activities came to light, and the victim had begun to suspect H-Wang was the
00:54:00criminal mastermind. Therefore, the victim was silenced. Kai Haeung suddenly recognized H-Wang as the
00:54:07student who had given him a hard time at the seminar. The killer had already escaped once. According to
00:54:14him, figuring out the killer's mindset was like seeing two sides of the same coin. So why hadn't
00:54:19he been caught yet? He could definitely be caught, and he would be caught. This man, discharged from the
00:54:25military for causing trouble, was now the administrator of a website specializing in harmful fiction.
00:54:32As predicted, suspect H-Wang appeared at the scene. The task force surrounded and apprehended him,
00:54:38successfully rescuing the hostage. When faced with police interrogation,
00:54:43Kai Haeung remained incredibly calm. He knew the police lacked direct evidence to prove his guilt,
00:54:49so he vehemently denied all charges. Furthermore, he had a thorough understanding of criminal psychology,
00:54:55rendering Kai Haeung's interrogation methods completely ineffective.
00:55:00This kind of lighting and the temperature have already dropped. He even deliberately showed me
00:55:05a picture of the victim, and then remained silent, putting psychological pressure on me.
00:55:10Is there anything else I don't know? If so, could you lower the temperature a bit more?
00:55:16Ultimately, due to lack of evidence, he was declared innocent and released. At this very moment,
00:55:22the chief, who had always supported the task force's work, announced that the copycat murder case would be
00:55:28handed over to the large-scale search team. This didn't sit right with Kai Haeung because the killer
00:55:34Yang Cheol's target was the task force. Moreover, they were the ones who understood the case best.
00:55:40But the chief was determined to carry out orders from higher up. Then, the chief received a call and
00:55:46hurriedly left. Kai Haeung sensed something was amiss and instructed the tech team to track his location.
00:55:52At this time, a new prediction appeared on the website. But its content was completely different
00:55:58from before. It didn't describe the environment or method of the crime, but simply stated that the
00:56:04next crime would occur one afternoon, and the target was the hostage the task force had previously rescued.
00:56:10The tech team pinpointed the chief's whereabouts. He was on his way to the hospital where the hostage
00:56:16was being treated. It turned out Yang Cheol had kidnapped the chief's daughter and forced him to
00:56:22kill the hostage, Nak Kung. But his true target was the chief. When the task force arrived, they
00:56:28unknowingly passed by Yang Cheol disguised as a medical staff member, and the hostage had already been
00:56:34eliminated after he successfully kidnapped the chief. Yang Cheol left a message on the website,
00:56:40a challenge to meet the task force. He then sent them a surprise gift.
00:56:45Hyun Joon cautiously opened the bag and froze in horror. Inside was the head of reporter Sun Yongchen.
00:56:52His audacity stemmed from having kidnapped five more children of high-ranking officials.
00:56:57He held them captive in a sealed room, continuously releasing a pungent, irritating smoke.
00:57:03There was only one oxygen mask, forcing them to kill each other for survival.
00:57:08Despite a large police force surrounding the cafe for the safety of the hostages' children of high-ranking
00:57:14officials, they couldn't act aggressively. Yang Cheol demanded to negotiate with Kai Haeung,
00:57:20requesting a car and driver for his escape. Any reckless action would result in nothing but retrieving
00:57:26the children's bodies. Once they reached a safe location, Yang Cheol revealed the warehouse
00:57:32where the hostages were held, but withheld the chief's location. With time running out,
00:57:37Kai Haeung was forced to let Yang Cheol go. Arriving at the warehouse, Kai Haeung found the hostages
00:57:43exhausted, and having fought amongst themselves. The smoke Yang Cheol had released was harmless.
00:57:49Their fear stemmed from their own inherent savagery. Meanwhile, the chief regained consciousness and heard his
00:57:56daughter's cries. He struggled free, rescued her, and while escaping, encountered Yang Cheol who had
00:58:02returned. The chief risked his life protecting his daughter, and they fled. The task force re-examined
00:58:09the entire case based on evidence from the church murder scene. They concluded an accomplice had aided
00:58:15H-Wang in the serial killings, and the copycat murders were a game to outsmart them. Yang Cheol used
00:58:22murder novels to forecast the timing of the crimes, with his followers carrying them out as chapters
00:58:27were updated online. The time of body discovery was crucial. Furthermore, the copycat perfectly
00:58:33replicated details never released to the public, indicating access to inside police information.
00:58:39This led Kai Haeung to suspect Officer Choi, the first to discover the initial body.
00:58:45I'm Choi Y-jin, from the Juvenile Investigation Unit. This was his introduction at the first crime scene,
00:58:52where he also discovered a dropped item. Kai Haeung's investigation revealed Y-jin was the
00:58:58fiancé of Yang Cheol's seventh victim. Kai Haeung suspected Y-jin sought revenge, posing as a follower.
00:59:05He waited at predicted locations for each online update, hoping to encounter and confront Yang Cheol.
00:59:12However, he only ever encountered H-wang. Then, Yang Cheol sent a video of the chief,
00:59:18threatening Kai Haeung and demanding an end to the pursuit in exchange for his disappearance.
00:59:24Never one to compromise, Kai Haeung used Y-jin as bait. When the website updated with a new chapter,
00:59:30Heian Jun, disguised as Yang Cheol, appeared at the predicted location.
00:59:35Y-jin, lying in wait, sprang into action, only to be caught in the task force's trap. He confessed to
00:59:42being H-wang's accomplice but wasn't the task force's true target. Kai Haeung anticipated Yang Cheol
00:59:49observing from nearby, as he had before. Like a mantis stalks the cicada. Unaware of the aureole behind,
00:59:56the task force discreetly followed Yang Cheol's car to a mental hospital, the source of his pain.
01:00:02Suspecting Yang Cheol deliberately led them there, Kai Haeung believed this location signified his
01:00:08desire to end everything. The chief was in grave danger, so Kai Haeung and Heian Jun,
01:00:14covering each other, advanced deeper into the building. Yang Cheol monitored their every move through
01:00:20surveillance. When they reached the target room, they found a still steaming cup of coffee,
01:00:25suggesting Yang Cheol had just left. Kai Haeung noticed the surveillance monitor showing the
01:00:30chief locked in a room. Just then, a pained struggle echoed from the corner of the room.
01:00:36Heian Jun instinctively thought it was the chief, but Kai Haeung immediately warned him back.
01:00:42Kim Heian Jun, get back! Kim Yang Cheol, stop playing games! Sure enough, the shadowy figure was
01:00:49Yang Cheol disguised as the chief. Concerned for the chief's safety, neither dared to act rashly.
01:00:55Yang Cheol voluntarily removed his magazine and challenged them to one last game.
01:01:00He slammed the door shut and tossed a backpack towards Heian Jun. Inside was a single gas mask.
01:01:07Yang Cheol then put on the mask and quickly pressed a remote, releasing poisonous gas.
01:01:13He wanted to see how Kai Haeung and Heian Jun would face this life or death situation. However,
01:01:19he witnessed Kai Haeung and Heian Jun saving each other. When Yang Cheol tried to seize the opportunity
01:01:25to assassinate Heian Jun, Kai Haeung lunged at him, grappling with him. During the struggle,
01:01:31Heian Jun picked up a gun from the floor, while Yang Cheol took Kai Haeung hostage. At this moment,
01:01:37Yang Cheol revealed that he had killed the chief long ago. And of all the crimes he had committed,
01:01:43killing Kai Haeung's wife brought him the most satisfaction. These words sent Kai Haeung into a
01:01:49furious rage. A series of gunshots rang out, ending it all. Kai Haeung emerged from the shadows,
01:01:56his face grim. The murderer who had terrorized all of South Korea had paid for his crimes.
01:02:02And the Korean drama Mino Min's concluded there.
