Who'll be able to handle him?
He'll read their memory...
if they touch.
Detective, my daughter disappeared.
I can feel it when I read memories. The mother's thoughts...
I don't think this is a simple missing case.
Proof of the serial killing?
Their skulls were both crushed.
I believe they were attacked with a 4cm diameter object...
several times.
So he's one of a kind.
Set up a Regional Investigation Unit...
in Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
They found the third victim this morning.
- She was still breathing. - She's still alive.
- Did you see anything? - First, a red pig.
And the other thing was a small hammer...
that you can hold in one hand, like a claw hammer.
We don't even know if this is related to Claw Hammer.
Are you sure about the red pig?
I hope I'm wrong about this nasty hunch.
You'll die if you don't pass the test.
The girl before you died on a Tuesday as well.
It's a different phone model.
Find the number of the second phone.
I found her phone signal.
They're high school students.
They said they picked up the cellphone on the street.
We can ask them to find her. Bo Hyeon...
You were looking for Bo Hyeon.
(Previous story)
No, no!
We lost her there. At the three-way intersection.
As of this moment, dispatch all your men to search Onha-ri.
The RIU has dispatched all their men to search this area.
They lost her at the three-way intersection,
and the RIU will start searching near the villas in Onha-ri.
Sir, you can go first.
I have somewhere to drop by.
The side where the tail light goes out of view quickly.
(Previous story)
(Onsang-ri, 3.6km, Onha-ri, 3.2km)
How did you get up there?
Quiet. I'll get out of here and call the police.
Please, take me with you!
Please, take me with you.
There's just one location left...
1.5km away.
We lost her there. At the three-way intersection.
Please...
Please save my daughter...
(Dong Baek)
- Hurry up. - I got it.
I'm doing it.
- Why are you kicking the tire? - Should I kick you?
Should I kick you instead?
No, I didn't say that.
I found the red pig.
- Get him! - We got you!
- Come here! - That's enough!
- Move aside! - Wait!
- We have no time for... - Gosh.
Taser him.
- Put him in the car! - Let's go.
Why is someone with a superpower so weak?
(Warning: This is private property.)
(Do not trespass or farm on this territory.)
From the corner until the gate,
there are cameras monitoring anyone who comes this way.
They can check all the visitors.
High fences and doors.
Why is there no one?
It's a large cattle shed and afternoon, at that.
Where are the farmers?
Is this a disguise?
Have they disguised this place...
for a different purpose?
This won't do.
All right. Come out.
Don't move.
Han Man Pyung!
Shall we talk?
(Episode 3: Bloodbath)
(32 minutes ago)
Darn it. Seriously.
He tattled.
- What? - Shut it.
He's the reason you're undergoing internal investigation.
What is he talking about?
- Hey. - He told them you were on the take.
- What? - No... No, that's not true.
The owner of the brothel bribed you to stop the investigation.
How could you betray him for merely 30,000 dollars?
- Shut his mouth. - It's not true.
I saw a secret of yours as well.
It must be a trend these days...
to betray those around you.
Shut his mouth.
- You're dead meat. - It's not true!
Do you know how flirty he is?
- Shut his mouth! - Still, that's not right.
Lim Na Young is his girlfriend, you know?
Eyes on the road, you jerk!
Didn't Na Young recently get a luxury bag?
This punk gave it to her after sleeping together.
- You scumbag... - Is that true?
Eyes on the road, you jerk!
- Taser him! - Yes, sir!
You scumbag! Darn!
Han Man Pyung!
Don't kill him.
We need him alive so that I can read his memory.
Are you okay?
Suffering will bring eternal life.
- Suffering will bring eternal life. - Kneel.
Suffering will bring eternal life.
Darn it!
Why is this place like a maze?
What is this place?
There's that punk. Get him!
Hey, come here. Come here.
Stay still. Stay still!
What a scumbag.

(Morgue)
I want to see her.
I'm sorry.
We'll need to perform an autopsy first.
She must have waited...
so long for me.
I can't make her wait any longer.
Ma'am.
I think it's best you don't see her for now.
I should let her know that I'm here.
My poor baby.
She must've been terrified.
I'll be honest with you.
Ye Rim doesn't look too good right now.
It's best to remember her pretty face...
How will she rest in peace if I'm not there to send her off?
Move aside. Move.
- I want to see my daughter! - Ma'am...
Please calm down.
Ma'am.
My baby girl!
Ma'am. Ma'am.
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
Place her on my back.
- Ma'am. - My poor baby!
Han Man Pyung, who committed suicide,
was a key suspect in his 30s.
He abducted, confined, and murdered his victims...
in an underground tunnel below his farm.
This tunnel is presumed to have been made...
during the Japanese colonization for military purposes.
After his parents passed away,
- Okay. - he used this tunnel...
as his hideout.
- I understand. - There's a possibility...
he might have committed more crimes.
(Deputy Chief Lee Shin Woong)
Up to now, we have confirmed at least four murder victims.
The only young female survivor...
has been transferred to a hospital to receive treatment.
Luckily, her injuries are minor,
so her life will not be threatened.
Meanwhile, the police and the NFS...
have formed a joint team...
to investigate possible additional crimes...
they haven't unveiled yet.
The police say they're investigating possible accomplices...
as a principle practice, not because of a lead.
But since this case has such a big impact,
many are focusing on what the outcome might be.
Sir. You're here.
Why are you all here?
- We're waiting for them to... - Exactly. Why?
Well...
- A thorough investigation is key... - What about the survivor?
Yes, the survivor. The young woman is in shock.
She just said that she never saw an accomplice...
We were waiting for you.
We need to ask you for a favor.
- "A favor"? - An accomplice...
No. I'm sure there's someone else. Perhaps even the main culprit.
"The main culprit"?
Are you saying your initial profiling is still valid?
Do you think the criminal is from the upper class?
Han Man Pyung isn't someone who would boast about murders.
I'm certain there's the main culprit.
Let me give you a word of advice. A prediction is only a prediction.
- You must be modest with a result. - That's why I'm asking for a favor.
As modestly as possible.
Please investigate thoroughly for any traces of accomplices.
This is my last request.
I can't grant it.
You'll have to do it yourself.
But I was released from my position...
Your new title is Deputy Director of Special Investigation Team.
Turn Han Sun Mi into a star.
Make everyone think she caught the criminal.
Tell everyone she was ahead of Dong Baek.
You can do the investigation briefing as well.
That's the role of someone who caught the criminal.
- Hey. - Yes.
Let's go.
Sir, aren't you going to question him?
He'll be transferred to the Western District Prosecutor's Office...
in the morning.
But it was so hard to catch him.
Choose one.
Be wittier...
or watch your mouth.
I'm glad the criminal was caught just in time.
We were very lucky.
It won't get noisy, will it?
A serial murderer committed suicide.
Who would pay attention to a sex scandal?
I'll take care of it with my life.
Not a single splatter of mud will get on your shoes.
It won't end so quietly.
Pardon?
- But we caught the criminal. - Four women were killed.
Usually, the anger would be directed to the murderer.
But it's different this time.
There's no subject to direct their hatred.
The press will look for prey...
with their eyes wide open.
Remember that.
Make sure we don't become the scapegoat.
I'll work on the journalists.
There's a pad up there, right?
- Try that one too. - It takes 12 hours for the results.
Our goal of the investigation is to check for an accomplice.
Investigate anyone he met thoroughly...
so that we can figure out the personal details...
when the test results come out.
- Do you know him? - No, I don't.
(National Forensic Service)
(Test Result)
The test result is here.
As for the suspicion about accomplices,
we couldn't find any evidence.
Aside from Han Man Pyung, we couldn't find any other DNA.
We heard Det. Dong Baek was on site. Why was he there?
He was also pursuing the criminal.
Were you working together?
No.
Then who got there first?
That's a different issue, so I won't answer...
Senior Superintendent Han did.
She also infiltrated and arrested the criminal first.
Then could you explain about the situation...
at the time of Det. Dong's arrest?
This is irrelevant to the case.
Please direct your question to the prosecution.
She's so good.
You're known as a genius profiler.
How did you secure the key evidence?
That's it.
I did not solve this case alone.
Before that, I want to sincerely send our condolences...
to the victims and the families of the victims.
What is wrong with you? Just get started.
Yoon Ye Rim's missing location and the farm is only 1km away.
Why didn't you search the farm earlier?
Strike.
- We searched properly. - Did you?
You were poking around in the wrong places.
Unfortunately, Yoon Ye Rim is a case of impulsive manslaughter.
The fact is that it was difficult to trace...
the murderer's line of movement.
Isn't that what we call a failed investigation?
(Police Investigation Report on Claw Hammer Serial Murder Case)
Don't admit to it.
As I mentioned earlier,
I want to sincerely send our condolences...
to the victims and the families...
- of the victims. - Goodness.
She's such a weakling.
We arrested the criminal by doing our best.
I want to remind you that we saved a survivor.
I heard that Det. Dong reported the location.
Why didn't you work together?
At the time, Det. Dong was under suspension.
- But... - That doesn't matter.
You should've cooperated even if he was in jail.
We'll take one question at a time.
Your failed investigation led to more victims.
How will you take responsibility?
Do you intend on announcing a public apology?
What do the police propose as a future prevention measure?
One at a time, please.
- Why didn't you cooperate? - Who will take responsibility?
What are your future plans?
Are you denying that the investigation was a failure?
Do you know what the demands of the deceased families are?
We'll finish the briefing here.
We'll announce our position...
through a press release.
- Please do not... - Bravo.
Publish speculative articles.
- Sir. - Sir.
Please keep the order.
Journalists.
(Police Investigation Report on Claw Hammer Serial Murder Case)
Have the director of Intelligence Agency come in.
What is it?
Senior Superintendent Han.
We've been ordered...
to disband the Special Investigation Team.
Within 72 hours.
("It Is Inevitable for the Police to Avoid Their Responsibility")
(Senior Superintendent Han Sun Mi)
Yes, Senior Superintendent Han.
What about the interview with the survivor?
We're being held back.
The doctor is one thing, but her guardian won't let me in.
- The guardian? - What are you saying?
- Because of the hospital bills. - What do you know?
- Push through as fast as you can. - Who are you?
- I'll try. - I told you!
We don't have much time until the team disbands.
You have to meet her today.
- Okay, I understand. - You're the one who admitted her.
Right?
Why are you saying this now after admitting her?
Don't hold me back.
Ma'am, there are patients here. Please keep it down.
I don't care. Are you looking down on me...
since my life was ruined...
- because of my crazy daughter? - Please calm down.
Is that what it is?
It's not like that. Please calm down.
I'm not looking down on you.
Forget it. You better take care of this.
Let go of me!
I know you're unhappy with me.
Instead of getting compliments, we now have to be responsible.
30 minutes...
No. Perhaps...
we would have saved another person if we were 10 minutes earlier.
That's why I feel responsible...
for the deaths of Yoon Ye Rim and the other innocent victims.
However, I won't torture myself.
It's not us who has to repent. It's the murderer.
What we should bring to the funerals...
isn't cheap tears. We should show them the arrested murderer.
That's why for the remaining 72 hours,
we'll give our all to find the true culprit.
But all of the data say Han Man Pyung did it alone.
There is a 51 percent chance there is an accomplice.
Han Man Pyung isn't the type to display murders like this.
What type of person is the real criminal?
(Max Weber, the German sociologist, analyzed three types of...)
"Charisma"?
Someone from the upper class who has charisma.
"Upper class"?
Han Man Pyung has low self-esteem, so he admired success.
If there is the main criminal who moved such a person,
I'm certain they're someone successful.
Han Man Pyung is a typical pawn...
who acts in place of someone superior.
All of my experiences and knowledge draw towards this conclusion.
What is our investigation target?
The real criminal...
must be in this villa complex.
It's 1.5km away.
If one travels through the mountain,
they can move from one place to another in 15 minutes.
The real criminal must be among these 80 villas.
The chances are very high.
Excuse me.
- We'll investigate in two ways. - Who is the owner of this villa?
- One. - I'm not sure.
Investigate the villa owners who came every Tuesday.
Let's go.
Two. No matter how much they moved in secret,
there has to be a witness.
Investigate the path through the forest thoroughly.
What is it?
- Yes? - We found a land...
that was bought under Han Man Pyung's deceased mother.
Like you said, the place is located halfway up the mountain path.
- It's on the path? - Yes.
I'll send you a map with a marking on it.
I think I know where.

Could it be Han Man Pyung's hideout?
He doesn't smoke.
Then...
(TVC Reporting Team 2)
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Reporter Kang Ji Eun.
(TVC Reporting Team 2, Reporter Kang Ji Eun)
Are you sure?
We're cross-checking, but it looks right up to now.
Why did they send it to her?
They must know she's Dong Baek's fan.
What's the possibility of it being a trap?
If we make a false report,
we'll all get in trouble, including the director.
We'll triple-check in detail.
Sir. Two of our competitors also received it,
so they're all in panic.
What is this?
Sir,
you should check your phone.
What is it?
- He's here! - He's here!
It's that car.
Do you admit to what was published?
- Is it the truth? - Is this true?
Do you admit to the charge?
- Please say something. - Please tell us.
(Secretary's Office of the Public Prosecutor General)
So District Attorney Lim Joong Yeon was accepting sexual favors?
That's right. According to what was reported,
District Attorney Lim Joong Yeon...
has been accepting illegal sexual favors.
The problem is that the woman involved...
was one of the victims of Han Man Pyung's case.
So this isn't a simple scandal.
That's right. According to what we confirmed,
District Attorney Lim was aggressively interrupting...
the investigation of the serial murder case...
in order to cover up his scandal.
Many suspect they arrested Det. Dong Baek...
for the same reason.
In order to hide his scandal, District Attorney Lim...
disturbed the police investigation which led to more victims.
His charges are very nasty.
Yes. If the report turns out to be the truth,
District Attorney Lim will be charged...
for serious criminal offences including abuse of one's authority.
That's the general outlook from the legal circles.
What's the reaction like from the prosecution?
Lim Joong Yeon must resign!
- Resign! - Resign!
Lim Joong Yeon must resign!
- Resign! - Resign!
Through their spokesperson, the prosecution mentioned...
that they realize the seriousness of the matter.
They plan to look into all of the suspicions...
with a special team which is a theoretical stance.
How dare you use a trick in front of a professional?
What will happen to Det. Dong's case?
There was a reexamination of his arrest warrant today.
Yes. His charge for habitual assault is currently...
under reevaluation.
Most people suspected him to get arrested, but this huge scandal...
from the prosecution has changed public opinion.
- At the moment, it's hard... - Step back!
- To predict the outcome. - Step back!
Wicked prosecution and police should step back!
- Step back! - Step back!
- He's out. - He's out.
Please tell us how you feel.
Move out of the way! We don't have time.
What do you think about the outcome?
Do you think this case is related to the prosecution?
- Please say something. - Please tell us how you feel.
Please look this way.
It's Dong Baek!
Wait, tell us how you feel.
- Move out of the way! - Please say something.
Consider yourself lucky for getting released.
I agree. Have it while it's warm.
Why did you buy tofu? It's not like he went to jail.
He almost did.
You'll go home, right?
- I have to drop by somewhere. - Where?
We finished our search and couldn't find anything special.
The result is out.
We found a different DNA on the cigarette butt.
- Do you know who? - We found out who.
We found a matching DNA in our ex-convict data.
The name is Kwak Hee Ju.
The address is in Onsang-ri.
- Is it one of the villas? - No.
It's a remote house in the mountain.
A remote house?
(3, Onsang-ro 12-gil, Daegyung-myeon)
(Seoju, Gyeonggi Province)
Everyone, surround it.
When can we start talking to Bo Hyeon?
She's still mentally unstable.
You have to wait if you want to talk to her.
Where are you going?
Are you running away?
Mr. Superpower.
Why do you care?
I came to ask for your help.
- It'll be difficult, but... - I already said...
I didn't see any accomplices.
All right. I believe you.
If you do, go away.
You and your power are annoying.
It wasn't your fault.
I want you to know that.
It wasn't your fault.
Even if you didn't make the right choice,
it wasn't solely your fault,
so don't blame yourself.
Then whose fault is it?
I grew up like garbage under my garbage parents!
Whose fault is it?
I don't know...
why good people must be unhappy...
and why innocent people must die so tragically either.
All I know...
is that you're not old enough to take all the responsibility.
That's something you can do...
after you grow up.
(Personal Details, Kwak Hee Ju)
Did you and Han Man Pyung meet up often in his hut?
From time to time.
- "From time to time"? - It's been quite a while.
He didn't use it, so I borrowed it.
What did you two do?
We drank tea and talked.
What else?
We had a religious discussion.
Why you little punk...
Does a religious man even smoke?
Man Pyung said exactly the same thing.
He was narrow-minded, just like his religious beliefs.
He was obsessed with some weird cult.
I heard you were the one who got kicked out...
several times for saying strange things.
With some bizarre stories.
Aren't you a member of a cult?
And who defines that?
Biased believers?
Enlightenment is an intimate thing.
The intimate agreement between me and the whole universe.
Intimate, my foot.
Is this something like that too?
Gosh, you sexually harassed girls so intimately.
You even spent six months in prison.
You have two records of sexual abuse.
I've been framed.
This is blackmail.
You seem like a very confident man.
You're so confident that you'll save the world. I'm truly curious.
Whether you'll be able to save yourself...
let alone the world.
If only I got there a bit faster.
I heard...
you tried your best.
I'm sorry.
I was about to go out and meet her...
but I fell asleep.
I woke up startled and called her,
but she already got off the bus.
I should've still went out to see her.
But I was tired...
and made an excuse that I had to go to work early...
and stayed in bed.
It's all my fault...
that my daughter ended up like that.
All she did was suffer...
because of a foolish mom.
She died so miserably...
That's not true.
I hope there is a paradise up there for her.
Even if I can't go there,
I know my kind daughter...
will go there for sure.
We have to go. Now.
The RIU is interrogating the real culprit.
Real culprit?
You suspected there was a real culprit too.
A warrant has been issued.
Why don't you come clean now?
A search warrant has been issued, so we'll find everything now.
Phone records, where you went,
and how you instigated Han Man Pyung.
Did you get a warrant for my server?
What server?
- The internet broadcast. - What do you mean?
You didn't even investigate?
You punk, what are you talking about?
I did a personal broadcast.
For 40 days.
What?
He has no charisma.
Hello, sir.
What is it?
Didn't you come to tell me something?
You were...
wrong.
It's my responsibility.
It's all my fault.
What do you mean?
It's all my fault...
that she died like that.
Take me with you.
Please save me.
No!
You asked about my religion.
This is always my answer.
My one and only religion...
It's true. He did a non-stop internet broadcast for 40 days.
But he barely had any viewers.
There's even a video of him sleeping.
Check the longest time he was away from the screen.
Check Tuesday first.
- How did it go? - Where's the suspect?
They're checking his alibi now.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Hey, hey. Stop!
He barged in suddenly without approval.
He went to the bathroom after eating...
but came back within 15 minutes.
15 minutes?
That's enough time to go back and forth between the farm.
He could've killed them within that time.
- That's true. - No.
Murder is a very important ritual for the culprit.
There's no way he did it in a minute or two.
Do you mean he's not the real culprit?
He didn't have it from the beginning.
Let me tell you about my enlightenment.
The charisma to move Han Man Pyung.
The selected few viewers in this room...
will one day...
become the historic individuals that will...
shoulder my hardships.
What will happen now?
What do you think? We all go home.
Son, I'll be home soon.
Hey, kiddo.
Uncle Dong Baek isn't coming with you?
He's going home.
I bragged to my friends...
that he was going to sleep at our house.
I really like Uncle Dong Baek too,
but I can't spend more than 52 hours a week with him.
Why not?
When I'm with him, all my hair falls out.
Since his superpower is so amazing.
- Okay? Sure. - Hurry home.
What about that girl's memory?
Too bad. We didn't get to chat.
You may leave.
You don't have to apologize. Since it's the truth.
- What? - You don't have to apologize...
for arresting an innocent person.
No, I mean what you said after that.
What? The truth?
The profound goal of the universe that moves all creations.
- "Truth". - All the girls who died...
followed the truth.
Even if they died gruesomely.
In the eyes of the Lord, everything has a meaning...
I was talking to her.
Detective Superpower?
I knew we'd meet.
Only blessed people like us...
- How dare these jerks... - Sir.
Where did the kids riding the scooters go?
What? I didn't see them.
What is it?
- Something's not right. - What?
His voice from the broadcast and his real voice are different.
Well, it might get distorted through a microphone and speaker...
It'll totally sound different.
His voice was different in the girl's memory.
What do you mean?
Your death will truly...
The doctrine lecture they heard when they were locked up.
There was a moment when the voice of the lecturer...
sounded different from usual.
There is nothing you can do in front of fear...
but struggle in pain,
- Please save me. - And your death will truly...
The lecture they heard during the murders was the same voice,
but it was different from the DVD.
- What? - He was actually in the next room.
The path for your soul to be saved...
- will only be through me... - The real murderer...
that was lecturing in the DVD.
