Here's the microchip.

Okay.

The previously deleted criminal DNA database

is fully intact.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes.

Based on the data size,

everything seems to be there without any damage.

Okay, that's a relief.

The fact that Jin Hogae stole the database remains unchanged.

Investigate his activities thoroughly on the day of the incident.

Look into what he did after leaving the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Find out everything.

Don't forget.

Our information has to be one step ahead of the police.

Message left by a murder victim just before death

Just stay alive.

I'll run to you wherever you are.

It seems like Detective Jin...

was quite important to you, Officer Song.

I've never seen...

Detective Jin walk.

It's not like I have some supernatural power

to read criminals' minds.

I just work damn hard.

I sleep less than others.

I work harder than others.

He always ran ahead of others, worked harder,

and investigated desperately.

So when we rushed to the scene together,

I've never felt more reassured,

because I knew he would never give up.

That he would fight to the end.

But in the end, he left.

I believed in him until the end.

I saw the explosion on the roof

and thought, "It's okay, it's Detective Jin."

"He would've caught the culprit."

"He'll come down smiling

just like he always has acting all tough."

I thought he'd come back.

You must really resent the culprit.

Detective Jin hated

and despised criminals.

I finally understand how he felt.

What would you like to do?

If I could,

I want to pay him back in the exact same way.

First of all, the earpiece implanted under Detective Jin's ear

seems to be a modified version of a model available on the market.

The condenser I removed earlier

was likely used for electric shock torture.

He was tortured?

It's also evidence that he was being threatened.

But there's something I don't understand.

If there was an unknown blackmailer,

why would they go through the trouble of stealing it and then blow it up?

Ma Taehwa's case is similar.

He killed Ma Joongdo and got Ma Taehwa out of prison on stay of execution.

After purposely ruining his kidneys, he gave Ma Taehwa a new kidney

and then killed him by exploding a caravan.

What is all this?

What on earth does this guy want?

Destruction?

He enjoys destruction.

Psychologically, he craves destruction

and enjoys chaos.

A lunatic. That's the only way to describe him.

Furthermore, he manipulates

and contaminates all traces with sophisticated criminal knowledge.

Investigators either reach wrong conclusions

or become targets themselves, losing their lives.

This seems to be his pattern.

There's one thing you've overlooked.

Whether the conversations exchanged using that earpiece were threats

or collaboration is still not clear.

Currently,

the only concrete evidence we have are dozens of SPO CCTV recordings

of Detective Jin stealing the database.

If he wasn't blackmailed, why would Detective Jin do such a thing?

I'm just as curious as you are.

There seems to be only one option left now.

I'll give you 24 hours.

Capture the person who blackmailed and killed Detective Jin.

You should clear your late colleague's name.

We'll have to put our grief aside for now.

We'll also do our best to dig up any remaining leads.

Let's go.

- Where? - We have one clue left.

A living clue.

Im Sunyeol was caught by Detective Moon,

because of the money transfer to his wife.

Family ties can't be severed easily.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Oh, it's Daddy!

Condolences

You two should talk.

We...

lost another colleague yesterday.

Im Sunyeol was the junior Detective Moon cherished the most.

- If your husband contacts you-- - I told you.

We don't talk.

Shouldn't we try to save him?

Your husband can't handle

the guy we're dealing with.

Moon Youngsoo and Jin Hogae.

Even at the RIU,

they were the best of the best.

They fell in a trap.

We need to rescue Sunyeol first and catch the real culprit.

We don't want to lose any more colleagues.

Oh, my.

What's all this?

Do you miss your dad, Sunga?

I do.

I'll go now.

Wait.

I got Im Sunyeol's address.

17-13, Pyeongdo-dong, Taewon-gu, Geumsan Villa.

It's the rooftop unit on the fifth floor.

Move cautiously.

You guys cover the back.

We'll go in the front.

- Go. - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

What the...

- You go this way. - Yes, sir.

Im Sunyeol!

Darn it. He's already dead.

It looks like a gunshot wound.

- Check it, Min. - Okay.

It looks like a penetrating wound.

It's a police-issued gun.

Check if there are any bullets.

Okay.

Here it is.

Could the detectives from Taewon Police Station step out?

What do you mean?

We just received the forensic report from the NFS's firearms room.

We've examined the serial number of the gun

recovered from Im Sunyeol's death scene,

and it matches the one issued to Detective Jin, and so does the bullet.

No other fingerprints

were found on the gun itself except for Detective Jin's.

- I mean-- - Even if the gun and bullet

are Detective Jin's,

we can't be certain that he fired it.

Right. I thought the same thing

until I saw this CCTV footage.

This footage was captured at an Internet cafe located

near the building where Im Sunyeol died.

We're in the process of obtaining other CCTV footage from the area.

What's Detective Jin doing there?

We've secured records of him logging into his email.

Since it's a foreign email service,

we haven't uncovered the contents yet.

But with this, Im Sunyeol becomes the fourth person to die

in the vicinity of Detective Jin's whereabouts.

We'll presume his innocence,

but those associated with him can't participate in the investigation.

I won't keep you any longer. Please leave.

Darn it.

The late Jin Chuljoong / Jin Hogae

Around the entrance wound on the forehead,

there are gunpowder and deflagration residue.

This suggests the shot was fired within 39 inches of the victim.

Moreover, the bullet that penetrated didn't exit horizontally

but rather downwards from the lower part of the occiput.

While we can't be certain,

in cases like this, we can speculate that the victim was shot

in an execution-style manner while kneeling.

We can speculate that Detective Jin's anger

over Moon Youngsoo's killing played a role.

Judging by the digestion level of food, blood clotting in the victim's stomach,

and the degree of rigor mortis,

the estimated time of death is about 28 hours ago.

Im Sunyeol was last seen

at the parking lot in Mapyeong Park.

After that, Detective Jin, who had evaded the Supreme Prosecutors' Office,

went to an Internet cafe and then to the rooftop to commit murder.

- It's not impossible. - What are you talking about?

I understand it's not easy

to lose colleagues and face such a situation.

However, we can't ignore the evidence.

Since Detective Jin is already deceased,

the case will be closed due to lack of indictment.

The safest Taewon, respected and beloved Taewon Police

After first being spotted in the Mapyeong Park restroom,

he went to Prosecutor Jang Sungjae's officetel

and then headed straight to the SPO

and entered the server room.

After stealing a motorcycle...

...and evading the SPO,

he goes missing for about 30 minutes until he reappears on CCTV

at Mapyeong Station Exit Three.

Thirty minutes.

From the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to Mapyeong Station.
