Kim Byung-su 's Journal
Who am I?
Prosecutor Kim Min-je.
Good.
Then, let's see. Since your mind is clear,
let's get started.
Without leaving out a single detail of your life,
tell me everything that you remember.
As you wrote in your journal.
Like a confession.
Let's start from here.
September 8.
The day you went to the police station.
- Salute! - Yup.
Look who's here again.
Did you forget where you live again?
- Help him with the bag. - Of course.
- You can give that to me. - Take it easy.
Then do you know me'?
What's my name?
An...
An... Byung...
Don't remember. Who are you?
That feels bad.
What's with the puppy?
He brought it.
Dad!
You okay?
You put your shoes on wrong feet again
like a child.
Are you alright?
I was diagnosed with dementia 3 months ago.
The doctor said,
recent memories will flicker like traffic lights,
and all memories will fade in time.
We're not sure what stage it's at.
The hippocampus has shrunk, so Alzheimer's progressing too.
Can the symptoms stop?
They can be slowed down, but they can't be stopped.
Try to hold onto the memories.
Alright...
Whoa... You had a brain surgery after an accident.
We'll have to do a full medical checkup,
but this could due to hemorrhage from that or an aftereffect.
A body of a Woman in her 20s was found in Kanghwa City today.
This is the 2nd murder case in the city after a high school girl
was found dead last month.
The police stated that both bodies share similarities,
and are open to the possibility of a new serial killing case.
The body was inside a luggage and thrown away in this mud flat.
The victim is identifed as a 20-year old resident of Kanghwa,
and much like the last victim,
her body was wrapped in plastic wrap,
and bruises were found on her neck and wrists.
It's getting dark, Where are you going?
I told you, it's my friend's birthday.
There was a murder in the next town.
Don't worry. Careful of the stove, okay?
Murder isn't all that common.
But it can be, Eun-hee.
Because I am a murderer.

The password is incorrect.
Memory
Journal
Autumn, 1971, father returned home.
When I opened the door...
My white shoe
was covered in kimchi sauce...
Byung-su.
Shouldn't you greet your dear father?
Byung-su.
Honey, don't do this.
At attention!
His slap was still first rate.
Byung-su!
Byung-su.
Alright, boy.
Let me give you a proper beating today.
It was the look of a beast.
My sister shook in fear.
Curfew in effect!
I trembled all night after burying the body.
But the day after, and the day after,
no one came to arrest me.
And peace found its way to our home.
I realized then that obligatory murder
exists in the world.
I continued to kill after that day.
Seafood merchant who beat his family everyday.
That wasn't murder.
Let's call it 'cleansing.'
There are plenty of people who deserved to die,
and I began to cleanse them from this world.
For swallowing a diamond ring, she beat her dog to death,
and brought it to me to cut its belly open.
Alcoholic homeless man who took in runaways
and used them as slaves.
Loanshark who led an entire family to their demise.
None of them deserved to exist in this world.
Most of the trash I collected are buried in this bamboo grove.
Cleansing... Trash...
It sounds more like crime fiction than a journal.
How many did you kill then?
I didn't just kill.
If you think about it, I saved lives.
Lives of men and animals, what's the difference?
I'm glad I can still work even with dementia.
30 years of muscle memory won't just fade away.
It's alright, kitty.
Good, very good.
I had forgotten about the morning injection.
Michelle died after 3 anticancer injections.
- Mom! - Let go!
- Don't do this! - Michelle!
- Please, morn! - Let go!
Don't do this!
Michelle...
That's the last straw.
I ate noodles for dinner.
I took dementia pills too.
Go to poetry lecture at Community Center at 7.
'The knife pierces through the bones and muscles.'
'Crimson blood splatters on my chest.'
Eun-hee said poetry is good for dementia and signed me up.
But it's nauseating.
People don't know what his deal is,
but he gets involved with these cougars.
The old me would've buried him already.
Mr. Kim?
You've never learned poetry before?
Does it require schooling?
Of course not.
Early bad habits could ruin your wording.
It's perfect as is.
With raw language and
imagination of death,
you're showing futility of life.
With acute choice of words.
Like so, poetry cannot be learned.
Like Mr. Kim,
the poet captures language
and kills it like an experienced killer.
By the way, Mr. Kim.
Have you ever killed someone?
Right. My apologies.
I was being funny!
Funny?
According to Eun-hee, I don't exhibit emotion.
To be concise, I actually don't have emotions.
But I do react to humor.
Timing's the problem.
Mr. Kim! Wait!
Mr. Kim!
Hello, my name is Jo Yun-ju.
Aren't you Mr. Kim Byung-su?
I loved your poetry today.
I was so moved.
Especially your metaphor for death in the poetry...
What's a metaphor?
Come on, sir, you know what it is.
It's a comparison.
It's not a comparison.
What?
It was a life story.
You're such a funny man.
L'm funny?
Should I skin you too?
Skin me...
It was a vulgar laugh.
This world is still overflowing with trash,
but regrettably, I can't kill anymore.
Sir, how about tea?
17 years ago, I killed for the last time.
I don't remember why I killed her,
but after killing her,
I buried her in the grove and was on the way home.
The accident
must have caused this problem.
If murder is poetry, then child care is prose.
Daddy“.
Raising a person
takes more effort than killing 10.
You're bleeding. What's Wrong?
Maybe it was a good thing.
Dammit, it's happening again.
When the convulsion begins, I forget my way back.
Memories start to fade.
Are you okay?
That's a deer.
It appeared out of nowhere.
If it's okay with you, we can forget the collision.
Just in case, let's exchange contacts.
So that there's no misunderstanding later.
- I said it's okay. - No.
This was my fault, so send me the bill.
We can do our own repairs.
Your business card.
6145 PM on the 10th, collision at Aewol Junction,
2OL8588, silver Sonata.
He's... a killer.
I should've...
I should've killed him at that moment.
And then? Keep talking.
Blood type O.
Deers don't have type O.
This is human blood.
2 serial killers in one city...
Did he recognize me like I did him?
It doesn't matter.
I can't live here with him.
20L8588, silver Sonata.
Blood dripped from the trunk,
and a luggage was in there.
Who's there?
Food delivery.
Dammit!
Go!
Damn!
This drives me crazy!
Please follow me.
Which police station are you at'? Kanghwa Police?
Get out of here, you petty police boy!
I made acquaintance with your chief!
Let's talk at the station.
Are you fucking deaf?
That lady made acquaintance with your chief!
No, no, no! Wait, wait, Wait!
Wait!
Let me off this once.
Won't gamble anymore! I was about to quit!
My hubby is also a cop and I have two kids...
Please! Let this go!
Really'?
You really want me to let this go?
My dad was a police officer, too.
When I was a child, for my misbehaviour,
my dad used to handcuff me
and forced me to stand outside being naked
Girls on the street giggled at me.
Whenever I begged for his forgiveness,
my dad said,
"Sinners deserve to be punished."
He always said that to me.
Are you saying that the lady found in the toilet near the gambling den
was also killed by Min Tae-ju?
Officer Min, where were you after your shift yesterday?
We received a tip.
Someone saw you carrying a body in your trunk.
What?
Did you kill them?
Are you the maiden serial killer?
Hello?
Kanghwa Police, is this Mr. Kim Byung-su?
We looked into 20L8588 that you reported,
about the luggage in the trunk.
Yes?
It wasn't a human body, but a deer.
- Thanks for the t/jo though. - How did you get my number?
The car owner gave me your business card.
It was nothing at all, so just forget it.
Then or now, all cops are dumbfucks.
2 recent murder cases, same modus operandi.
Arteries were severed and blood was drained.
The body's weight was decreased and was being transported
when we got into a collision here.
Where was he heading?
If it was me...
to the reservoir.
The spot where the road ends.
He wouldn't have carried the luggage far.
If it was me...
Another woman in her early 20s
was found murdered in Kanghwa Aewol reservoir early today.
The police was responding to an anonymous tip,
and it bears similarities to previous victims
Hey, didn't Min had an accident around there?
Right.
Min Tae-ju!
Isn't Aewol junction not far from here?
The junction is just ahead.
Why doesn't he answer me?
It smells fishy.
The guy who reported Officer Min.
What if he caused the collision and tried to frame Officer Min.
Oh, that's possible.
Dongsung Veterinary
Temporarily Closed from Sept. 10
Can I help you'?
Are you here for your cat?
Is it sick?
Sorry about that, my dad is not well.
What to do...
You should take it to the vet in the city.
Let's go!
He's a cop.
- Really? - Cool, eh?
You busy?
Because of those stupid maiden serial killings,
HQ and the station are all going apeshit.
So, what's up?
I need to pull up a car plate,
I had a collision.
The number is...
I wrote it down.
Hit-and-run?
You should report it.
No, I think he's from here, I'd like to settle it quietly.
Sure, I understand.
By the way, do you recognize me now?
What?
My name.
An Byung...
Chief An, An Byung-man.
Jesus Christ!
You're clear as day now. This is so confusing.
Cabs don't come this far at this hour.
I'll be home soon, bye.
Oh, hello there.
You have no fear for a tiny lady.
It's dangerous to be out at night in this town.
Why don't you give me a ride then?
Get in.
Thank you.
Dad!
Dad, it's me...
What's Wrong?
My head may be losing memories,
but my hand remembers, like an old habit.
The killing.
What if I had imagined the collision?
What if I had committed those murders?
Serial killings in Kanghwa City?
Didn't they happen in our town?
As victims piled up in this little town
what did the police do?
Serial killings?
Dude, haven't seen any old crime shows?
Neither surveillance cameras nor DNA analysis existed back then.
Just staring at a corpse until the case is closed.
Why are you looking into dust-covered cold cases?
They are all statute-barred.
What if that killer continued to murder?
Could be involved in the recent maiden serial killings.
You know what?
Heard that serial killers can't forget the moment of murder,
so they just can't stop killing once they started.
All previous victims were choked to death.
Mar/av Nun/very
How's Eun-hee?
She's well.
What brings you here without calling first?
You know that senior home here?
Are men allowed?
Who?
I got dementia.
I don't want to be a burden to Eun-hee.
I'd rather be yours.
Am I getting punished?
I'll visit again.
Byung-su.
You can forget it now.
Let it go.
I pray for you everyday.
I'll take the punishment instead...
If I told her dad wasn't the only person I killed,
what would she say?
Will she still pray for me?
Nietzsche said,
“There is no devil and no hell."
"Fear nothing further."
"Your soul will be dead even sooner than your body."
Goddammit... I should really quit this.
Or I may end up killing this douchebag.
Mr. Kim!
Wait, Mr. Kim!
Oh no!
Sir!
Could you give me a ride'?
It feels so good to go for a drive.
If you're not busy today, how about a movie?
I don't like movies.
How come'?
Because it's all fake.
Fake? Right, you're so right.
Then what real things do you like?
Besides writing poetry.
Killing.
Killing?
Jesus!
What's Wrong? That startled me.
Dad?
Who is he?
Dad, the thing is...
Hello, I'm Min Tae-ju.
I'm Eun-hee's boyfriend.
Is this your daughter?
So pretty!
Hello there.
We go to poetry class, I'm Jo Yun-ju.
Let's go home, it's late.
Dad...
Come on, Mr. Kim.
It's broad daylight, it's not late at all.
Don't worry, sir.
I'll make sure to drive her home safely.
Who is he?
He looks familiar but I can't remember.
I'm a police officer.
That's great!
Young people together, and old folks together, right?
Let's go, Mr. Kim.
See you, Eun-hee! Let's go!
Bye!
No more frowning!
Being a police officer is a great job.
I'd be so happy for them.
By the way...
where are We going now?
I've been meaning to ask you.
Any specific region?
Who are you?
Shit. Did I look desperate?
Eun-hee's got a boyfriend.
Min Tae-ju, police officer.
Maybe this is good.
Were you surprised?
All dads are hostile towards their daughter's boyfriend.
I've met him once before.
I recognized him.
We had a collision not too long ago.
- What? - It was a very minor one.
I didn't think he remembered, so I played dumb.
He has dementia?
Yes, Alzheimer's.
Isn't it hard? Taking care of him?
Once in a While, he feels like a stranger.
Because he doesn't recognize me time to time.
By the way, why do you think he was at Aewol junction?
Probably went to the bamboo grove.
Bamboo grove?
A long ago, he bought some land and planted bamboos.
When I was a kid.
He sometimes go there for a Walk.
But he always gets lost there.
What's going on?
Did they find any body in the bamboo grove?
What's this all about?
Byung-su! We were waiting.
They are students from the police academy
co-writing a thesis on cold cases.
Say hello to Mr. Kim.
- Hello. - Hello.
On cold cases'?
Yes, unsolved cases like the Hwaseong serial murders.
So we came here to inverview a local resident who lived here a long time.
Statute of limitation on those has already passed, you know?
We are researching, not investgating.
Those cases could be related to recent murders.
That's not possible.
All recent victims are female.
This killer maintained control over the victims
and used a cord to strangle them slowly.
He kills for pleasure,
feeling the pleasure of killing itself.
He's not impulsive and knows how to contol himself.
That's why it's harder to catch him.
Kill in the safe place and dump the body somewhere else.
That means the killer wants to show off his work.
Are you saying this one is different with the previous serial killer?
Totally different.
The previous one killed both men and women and didn't damage the body.
As you know, there must have been more victims.
There were just no other bodies found yet.
He must've buried them thoroughly.
That says he's not a show-off.
He didn't kill for killing itself.
He must have a different purpose.
What purpose?
How do I know that?
Am I that killer?
Why bother me with things you can find in the old newspapers?
Byung-su.
Your clinic was closed. Are you getting worse?
Gotta wait and see.
Why don't you sell it off and live somewhere else?
For Eun-hee's sake too.
And look for a decent hospital too.
No point in staying in this blasted town.
Look who's talking.
Why are you rotting in this town'?
I don't know if you remember,
there was Doremi supermarket.
A cigarette store beside it.
A girl used to work there, she smiled all the time.
Remember her?
I bought smokes everyday, '88 Light'.
She knew I bought smokes in the morning and at night,
so she waited until I came by
then closed shop and went home.
Always.
“Sir, don't smoke too much," she said one day.
I didn't see her after that day.
Her morn begged me to find even her body,
and she would've given up if there was a body.
Since that day, I quit smoking.
This is the last pack I bought from her.
I'm gonna get the killer and have a smoke.
Shit, it's been 17 years already.
Oh man...
Alive somewhere maybe?
- The cigarette shop girl? - No.
The serial killer.
The recent maiden serial killings could be his work.
Doubt it.
I wish it was him.
Alright! I should get going!
Byung-su, that favor you asked 2OL8588.
8588?
You said you got into a collision.
His name is Min Tae-ju, he's a cop, HQ Info Division.
I think it's best to let it go.
What do you mean?
Huh? You don't remember it again?
Then forget about it, okay? Bye!
Min Tae-ju?
Eun-hee's got a boyfriend.
Min Tae-ju, police officer.
Hello, I'm Min Tae-ju.
I'm Eun-hee's boyfriend.
Don't worry, sir.
I'll make sure to drive her home safely.
2 recent murder cases, same modus operandi.
Arteries were severed and blood was drained.
Did he recognize me like I did him?
Blood type O.
This is human blood.
20L8588, silver Sonata.
6145 PM on the 10th, collision at Aewol Junction.
He's a killer.
My daughter is in danger.
- Where are you? - The movies. I'll call back later.
Eun-hee!
Why am I crying here?
Eun-hee!
A killer!
Has my daughter!
Listen!
A serial killer took my daughter!
I can't find her!
Go find her at once!
I said I'm at the movies. How many times did you call?
Where is he?
Who?
- L\/lin Tae-ju! - He went home.
- That hurts! - How did you meet him?
Random encounter.
Random, how?
He drove me home at night, said it was dangerous.
Why get inside a stranger's car?
Dad! That hurts!
Shut it!
Come inside!
Sit!
Listen carefully!
- I know Mlin Tae-ju! - I know!
He said you collided into his car.
And called the police, accusing him of being a killer.
Right, he's a killer!
He thought you were the killer!
What?
The reservoir murder took place near the grove.
The day you had the accident, you went there, didn't you'?
Do you remember?
If you did, your shoes wouldn't be covered in mud,
so how do you explain the mud?
Where were you?
Do you know how scared I Was,
while wiping mud off your shoes?
Are you...
suspicious of me?
Of course not,
you're not a killer like Tae-ju said.
My dad isn't like that.
You take your meds on time, don't you?
Most coincidences in the world aren't coincidences.
He recognized me just as I recognized him.
He's using Eun-hee as a bail' to lure me.
It's from the back of his car.
It should match one of the victims.
Then he's verified as a killer.
Come on, he's a cop.
What difference does that make?
Does his occupation automatically clears him?
Don't look at me like that, my mind is clear as day.
Fine, let's say I'm out of it,
but What if things I told you are true?
Okay, I'll send it to the lab.
L-low long?
Well, to get it tested...
About a week?
Pretend that I'm a patron.
Did you sleep well?
What happened there'?
Your dad did that?
I'm off duty tomorrow.
Come with me. Come here!
Dad!
Get in!
Hurry!
Do not come near my daughter.
We love each other.
Stop this bullshit.
I know who you are.
You know who I really am, right?
And you got to her because of it.
You're a goddamn killer.
Did you...
just confess?
I don't remember. I got dementia.
I don't care who you kill, so long as it's not her.
Coincidence or not, if you stay away from her,
I'll leave you alone.
But if you meet her again,
I'll tear you to pieces,
and bury you in the ground.
Don't meet that bastard for a while.
What's going on? What's with you? Why!
Did you forget?
Tae-ju is not a bad person!
Just a week!
After one Week,
I don't care if you date or marry him.
Dad?
Dad! Open this door! Please open!
He definitely knows that I'm a killer.
Should kill him quietly before it gets too late.
Pentobarbital sodium.
It's used to euthanize cows and pigs.
I may have to resort to this.
Preparation complete.
Go to sleep. Hurry.
Goddammit...
Why am I dozing off here?
Getting married only after a month?
Aren't you rushing things?
Eun-hee is still a child. She doesn't know anything.
We can grow up together.
If you two are happy, that's good by me.
I don't know if she told you already,
but I got dementia, Alzheimer's.
It must've been hard for her.
I can check myself into a hospital.
Now I'm relieved.
Dad!
Wish you best of luck!
We'll live happily, sir.
We got any beer'?
- You shouldn't drink. - It's alright.
Today is a day of celebration.
Go on.
By the way.
I don't think this is the first time we've met.
We've met a few times, several days ago too.
What did I say then?
You blessed our marriage.
Well, well.
- Give me a minute. - Certainly.
I never blessed anything.
I said, if you meet her again, I'll tear you to pieces.
There is only one chance.
Insert deep,
grab him,
push him down,
choke him.
Did I bless your marriage?
Son of bitch...
Dad?
Did he do this?
Dad...
When did you meet him?
Dad!
Come with me!
You promised me a week!
I told you not to see him for a Whole week!
And you brought him home? He could've killed us!
You did this!
It wasn't him, you choked me.
And it's been more than a Week.
You asked me to bring him home.
I'm sorry, dad.
I can't do this anymore.
It disappeared.
The week faded from my head.
My hand remembers, like a habit, the killing.
Dad!
Time's running out.
The memories of Eun-hee may fade away,
and if my killer habits remain,
I may end up killing her.
I can't protect someone I don't recognize.
Cement her in my memory that she's my daughter.
We could've talked over the phone.
Whose blood was it?
It was an animal, probably a deer.
I became a laughing stock. Take it back.
That can't be...
This is impossible...
but if so...
Was it really me, like Eun-hee said?
The reservoir murder took place near the grove.
The day you had the accident,
you went there, didn't you?
If you did, your shoes wouldn't be covered in mud,
so how do you explain the mud?
Byung-su.
Sis...
What's going on?
My head is dying.
It's wrinkling like a Walnut,
and full of holes,
and I keep forgetting.
The things I need to do,
the things I shouldn't...
As my memories flicker,
old memories will fade away,
and in time...
I may not recognize my child anymore...
And then...
and then...
The Lord must've answered my prayer.
When you continue to lose memories,
you'll go back to being a child.
Gentle and endlessly naive,
my precious little brother.
Come with me tomorrow.
Byung-su.
Your journal is great.
The passcode was Eun-hee's birthday.
You son of a bitch!
Who am I right now?
Min Tae-ju, the killer?
Or...
your daughter's boyfriend?
What did Chief An say?
It wasn't human blood, right?
It could've been bad.
I didn't think you still had handkerchief.
I read your journal and swapped it with a deer blood.
Why don't you kill this woman, Jo Yun-ju?
You're dying to kill her.
Let's be honest, okay?
Let's get her.
Mr. Kim!
I'm so happy that you called!
Sorry.
Wrong number.
Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim!
You son of a bitch... I'm not a killer like you.
So you don't kill Without a reason.
You only kill human trash who deserve to die.
Who decides that?
You make that call.
I only kill who I want to kill, how am I different?
We're both killers cut from the same cloth.
Right, like you said, I recognized you.
I knew you were a killer.
You have the same look as me.
Don't touch Eun-hee!
If I wanted to kill her, I'd have already.
What do you want?
You become me, I become you.
If you took on my murder charges,
I'll think about it.
L-low I should kill Eun-hee.
Leave her alone.
Kill me instead, you fuck!
Fucking moron!
You need to stay alive.
At least while I'm alive.
No! Please!
Anyway, she's paying for your sins,
so be thankful.
Not her!
Anyway you're blessed.
Living is hell, but it's only for a mement.
You'll forget everything soon.
Hey!
Where is she?
What?
Get up!
What's going on?
Stay with your aunt at the nunnery for a bit!
Come on!
Let's go.
Hurry!
Come on!
Only for a few days, okay?
Dad...
Get in!
Take care of her, just for a few days.
I got one last task I need to complete.
Killing Min Tae-ju.
Before I forget who he is.
No...
No, No... I'm... I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry! Don't kill me!
Please don't kill me!
I'm so sorry. No!
Shit... This was at the seafood restaurant that closed down?
It was him all along.
He had a body in his trunk when I collided with him,
he broke into my house and swapped the handkerchief.
Min Tae-ju is the serial killer.
He's coming.
Let's talk to him together.
Look, 4 days ago, did you meet Ms. Jo?
It was Friday night.
We checked her call log and found your number.
Sorry.
Wrong number.
Let's be honest, okay?
I bet your fingerprints are all over the camcorder.
- Wait, wait, Byung-su! - Please calm down sir!
You son of a bitch!
I never met her, he called her and killed her!
Then think of an alibi for that night!
Where is Eun-hee?
I can't reach her, it's been 4 days.
Dunno.
Tell us.
Dunno.
If I tell that bastard, she'll be in danger.
Just trust me and confirm his alibi first!
That night, he kidnapped Jo and killed her!
That's enough! Tell me where Eun-hee is!
Us cops will protect her!
No, I'll protect her myself!
If you don't, I'll be forced to take you in!
She's at her aunt's nunnery.
Her aunt? Your sister?
She doesn't have an aunt.
Eun-hee told me herself.
He'd often look for his deceased sister.
Am I wrong?
Give her a call then.
To your nun sister.
Alright, you serial killer prick.
I'll make you eat your Word.
Sis
No results
Maria
No results
What brings you here without calling first?
Take care of her, just for a few days.
No, no, no! Stop! Please stop!
Don't do this! Byung-su! Where you going?
Sis!
Sis...
Shouldn't we arrest him now?
We don't have any conclusive evidence.
Even with such evidence,
can murder charge stand with dementia?
Statute of limitation on his early murders must have passed.
It's gonna be hard.
But Eun-hee too'?
No, no Way...
I'm sure he just can't remember.
He couldn't have killed her While he was himself.
No, no, no.
We'll find out soon.
Is this really a true story?
I remember everything.
Sister...
And the last kill 17 years ago.
Who that woman was...
Since when?
You'll kill me anyway, just do it!
Why would I?
Just tell me when.
And that you'll never do it.
Then we can go home.
Let's go to Eun-hee.
Since when?
- A long time, right? - Don't kill Eun-hee.
Just kill me, that'll do, right'?
She's innocent...
Don't kill her, please.
Why should I kill her?
She's my own daughter.
She's not?
She's not mine?
Eun-hee's not my daughter!
You piece of trash!
I'll kill you all!
I'll kill you and your brat too!
Dad...
What's Wrong?
Are you hurt?
Who...
Who's your dad?
Daddy, what's Wrong?
I'm scared...
Daddy!
Daddy, don't be sick!
Daddy!
Why are you crying? Don't cry, baby.
You scared me.
My head was hurting,
so I didn't recognize you.
I'm sorry, don't cry.
Don't cry. Okay?
It's alright.
This sickening illness began 17 years ago.
I had noodles with Eun-hee.
Only my killer habits remained inside me.
All those recent killings were mine.
I killed Jo Yun-ju,
and the girl I called Eun-hee.
What is it?
I found it!
Here!
Chief! I found Jo Yun-ju!
Dementia did not save me.
Eun-hee is not my daughter,
and even if all the memories of killing fade away,
I am still a killer.
I can't live here with him.
My daughter is in danger.
I'm sorry, dad.
I spoke too harshly.
And don't worry, I'm not marrying Tae-ju.
And I won't send you away, so thaws that.
I 'm going to live for a long time with you.
I believe you.
I'm always on your side.
And before you forget all memories of me,
there's something I wanted to tell you.
I love you, dad...
The handkerchief.
I didn't think you still had the handkerchief.
I read your journal and swapped it with a deer blood.
Leave her alone, kill me instead, you fuck!
Anyway, she's paying for your sins,
so be thankful.
She'll die instead of you.
Dammit... It's Jo Yun-ju's body.
I knew it. That was the forensics,
the camcorder only had Kim Byung-su's prints on it.
Let's arrest Kim.
Kim Byung-su, you're under arrest for the murder of Jo Yun-ju.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used...
Taxi...
Get in!
Taxi, taxi, taxi...
Take care of her, just for a few days.
Hurry!
Call taxi...
8...
8... 8...
8... 8!
8!
Taxi 8!
8...
Did you call a taxi?
- Get in. - Why are you here?
I don't want to go!
- Listen to me! - Don't do this!
Just pretend and let's go away for a bit.
This is what's best for him.
Take care of her, just for a few days.
8588...
Hello?
- Min Tae -ju. . . - Byung-su?
He has Eun-hee.
Rather than going on the run, if you remember anything...
Listen carefully, it's Min's voice.
If you took on my murder charges,
I'll think about it.
How I should kill Eun-hee.
Leave her alone. Kill me instead, you fuck!
Fucking moron!
- This will take... - Jesus!
Goddammit!
I got change of clothes! It's not like I soil my undies!
I bought some at the market and changed them!
Hang up!
My wife is the bane of my existence.
This will take a few days.
Right? It's gonna take a long time.
I'm heading back to report, are you coming?
Yeah, I should.
But I'd like to clean up here before heading back.
Then I'll check in first.
Byung-su! Was that voice really Officer Min?
Dammit... So Min really is the maiden serial killer...
That psycho bastard...
Where is he?
I'm going after him.
Don't you dare lose him.
Eun-hee's still alive!
Where's dad?
The cops are after him. Let's sit down first.
Dad's not a killer, right'?
Bodies were found in the grove.
It's Jo Yun-ju, who went missing,
and many sets of skeletons too.
You may not want to believe it,
but it's all done by your father.
Also,
identification has to confirm it,
but your missing mother...
No...
It can't be...
ls she there?
She's here, with Min Tae-ju.
Don't worry and come at once.
I called backup so everyone's coming.
So he killed the cigarette shop girl.
I'm gonna catch this bastard.
I got him, that lying fuck...
Son of a bitch.
What's going on? Chief An!
He's tenacious.
This is why I rarely kill men.
Min Tae-ju.
It's not too late to turn around and leave.
You'll forget everything anyway.
I know Eun-hee's there.
If you even touch her hair!
I'll kill her nicely, so don't worry.
Stay right there.
Son of a bitch!
Tae~ju?
Eun-heel
Eun-hee!
Min Tae-ju, you bastard!
Don 't touch her!
Eun-heel
Kim Byung-su, believe what I tell you.
You're a killer, you got dementia.
The person you're after is Min Tae-ju.
He's a serial killer.
All women are the same, my mother too.
Dad tried to strip her and throw her out.
Sinners deserve to be punished, he said.
But she was not a sinner.
I was gonna stab him with a kitchen knife...
But...
I was hit from behind.
With a steam iron.
Mom did.
Not dad, but morn.
Women are all the same.
This is all!
Your father, Kim Byung-su's fault.
This is his fault.
What did I do'?
I wanted to live happily with you.
You lived with your dad.
With a murderer.
Eun-hee?
Eun-hee!
I'm sorry, where am I...
I need to go home.
Why am I here, I'm so sorry.
I don't believe this.
Did you forget everything already?
I'm sorry, I really am.
It's okay, everything's fine.
But you still need to be punished, so hold on for a bit.
Because of you, the woman I love escaped.
Wait here for a moment.
You know where she's hiding.
Alright.
Tell me where she's hiding.
I'll pat you on the back, tell me.
Very good.
Senile old man is pissing his pants!
Mr. Kim, good job.
Don't worry.
I'll kill you next.
Rather than living as the child of a murderer,
dying is better, no?
Living must be hell.
You would've ended up dying in his hands.
Dad...
Dad!
Dad,dad!
Eun-hee! Baby!
Tenacious.
You're tenacious, Mr. Kim.
Dad...
You fuck!
Shit!
I told you to turn the car around and leave.
Dammit!
How about this, Mr. Kim.
Since you're here, watch her die.
Doesn't that sound fun?
No, no...
No, you son of a bitch...
You can't!
You'll...
get yours...
Were you really...
a serial killer from before?
Did you kill morn?
Don't come! Stay back!
Like you said, I'm a serial killer.
I've killed so many till now.
But the one who truly deserve to die
is me.
Because I was born as a murderer.
You and I are different.
That's okay, Eun-hee.
Don't cry.
There is not a single drop of my blood in you.
We're not related.
You're not my daughter.
So you're...
So you can't be...
a murderer's daughter.
Min Tae-ju...
Min Tae-ju!
Kim Byung-su's Journal
Apart from
Jo Yun-ju, a total of 11 bodies were found.
The statute of limitation on those murders has passed.
And you assert that Min Tae-ju killed the recent victims including Jo Yun-ju.
Is that right'?
The audio recorder that captured Min's voice
also disappeared with himself?
Tell me.
Is that what you said?
Aren't you gonna say anything? Can't you remember?
Ok, then.
There's one thing that I really want to know.
Tell me how Min Tae-ju disappeared.
Dunno.
Why not?
You said you almost smashed him.
I don't remember, anything.
You really don't remember? Or pretend not to remember?
Okay.
The doctor said,
people with dementia have a tendency to remember what they Want to remember.
They selectively piece together their memories
to attack the others while protecting themselves.
You are pretending not to remember
after you killed him and buried the body somewhere?
Tell me the truth.
Ok, wait wait. Calm down.
No, no, it's alright.
It's okay. Let him be.
Release him.
It's over. Release him.
- I said release him. - Yes, sir.
Open Min Tae-ju's investigation to the public.
Got it?
Now you can go.
- This case is open now. - Yes, sir.
Right, right.
Kim Eun-hee, the one you raised as your own daughter.
During the investigation,
she zipped her lip and refused to say a word
to our questions.
Not sure if she doesn't talk or can't talk.
Like she's got aphasia,
she couldn't speak or remember anything.
Sir,
here's a set of Kim Byung-su's MRI and CT scan images.
What should we do with this?
Do with what?
Why do you think the doctor gave this to us'?
It is a proof of Kim Byung-su's dementia.
How hideous!
Is this What dementia should look like?
Min Tae-ju, the serial killing suspect, is still on the loose.
The police is making every effort
to locate the suspect's vehicle, 2OL8588, silver Sonata.
The suspect's vehicle, 2OL8588, silver Sonata was last seen
at the cabin in the woods near the reservoir
where the suspect killed his chief officer,
and is still missing.
Police will be expanding their search area
in case the suspect has already escaped from Kanghwa City.
After a photo of the suspect was released,
police collected many tips from the public.
The police created a special TF
to verify all the information they received.
Without leaving out a single detail of your life,
tell me everything.
As you wrote in your journal.
Did you forget where you live again?
Heard that serial killers can't forget the moment of murder,
so they just can't stop killing once they started.
I should've killed him at that moment.
Why are you looking into dust-covered cold cases?
What if that killer continued to murder?
He has dementia?
Once in a while he feels like a stranger.
Just pretend and let's go away for a bit.
This is what's best for him.
Bodies were found in the grove.
It's all done by Kim Byung-su.
I'm pretty sure Kim is the killer.
I know. I've been suspicious of him for a While.
He might turn himself in if I talk nicely.
You and Eun-hee can persuade him to confess.
Confession doesn't make any difference.
I'd regret if I don't give him a chance to turn himself in.
I used to come here often with him for fishing,
he's coming here soon.
I've already requested backup too.
If he resists, then I'll make my move.
Chief...
Chief!
People with dementia selectively piece together their memories
to attack the others while protecting themselves.
What do you want?
I become you,
you become me.
Can murder charge stand with dementia?
It's gonna be hard.
Prosecutor, here's what you requested.
A set of Kim Byung-su's MRI and CT scan images.
How hideous!
There's one thing that I really want to know.
Tell me how Min Tae-ju disappeared.
He was last seen near the reservoir...
ls this What dementia should look like?
How hideous!
Do not trust your memory.
