Into the Mirror (Geoul sokeuro) (거울 속으로)

(In association with SBS and Hana Bank)

It's not here.

I looked everywhere.

There's only a week before it re-opens, what's your problem?

If you're that worried, look for it yourself.

If that's the case, then you should know.

It's my friend's birthday today.

My friends are waiting.

Hello?

Yes, I'm almost there.

A gift? Sure, I bought one.

I'll be there soon, wait for me.

What are you doing here? It's almost 9 o'clock.

Sorry?

I was on my way out.

The employees' exit is the opposite way.

- Did you take all the photos? - Yes.

Let's wrap this up.

Excuse me.

Are you finished with the investigation here?

We're done with the spot examination.

Looks like a suicide.

A suicide?

Do people really slit their own throats?

Who are you?

He thinks he's the policeman.

(Withdraw the Re-open, Compensate Fire Victims First)

This is preposterous.

First, a fire destroys a perfectly fine store.

Now, a woman died just before the re-opening.

It might be hard to open next week.

How long have you been working here?

Well... About 2 months now.

Why did you quit the police force?

No need to explain, I can tell why.

You have no consideration of the circumstances.

- But today's incident... - Get a grip!

This job was created just for you because you're my nephew.

There are times to interfere and times to keep quiet.

You shouldn't be minding so much about the re-opening.

Uncle...

I told you not to call me that.

Chairman, Director Choi from SecuZone is here.

Tell him to wait.

We'll re-open on schedule even if the sky falls apart.

(Employee Training Camp, General Affairs Office)

From now, we'll restrict the entrance of all people.

Are you playing games?

Nobody will be allowed to sign out before 8pm.

The CCTV and central guard room must also go operational today.

That's all.

Young-min!

Chief of Security?

It seems you don't know how it works at department stores.

The re-open is in less than a week. Clocking out at 8pm is absurd.

Then should we change it to 9pm?

Look at you... Why do you live like that?

Right, since last year's fire...

People say they hear strange sounds after dark.

Have you heard?

Here's the inventory of the items that came in today.

I need your signature, please.

Right here.

Chief, please check the position of the second camera.

A bit to the left.

My left or the camera's left?

It's my left, so... The monitor...

Is it the right?

It's no rocket science.

The flip side of the opposite.

His right.

Sure. Your right side.

Hello, Chief Woo speaking.

You haven't gone home yet?

About clocking out at 9pm...

The TV?

A woman was found dead at D Department Store,

now getting ready to re-open after last year's fire.

She was one of the employees, Ms. Choi,

and it is reported to be a suicide case.

What? Someone must've had a hidden camera.

If the chairman sees that, he'll throw a fit.

Stolen items were found in Choi's handbag,

and the weapon appears to have been a display item...

Hello? Yes, Mr. Chairman.

It's me, Chief Woo.

I'm sorry, I...

For our next story, the KOSDAQ-listed CS Trade Co.

was chosen as the exclusive participant.

Within a year since its establishment, the company...

Security!

Security!

Security!

What is going on?

Mister...

We will cooperate with the police, and solve this incident

at the earliest date possible.

And we will re-open according to our original schedule.

I, Jeon Il-sung, will promise you now.

Strange incidents have been occurring since last year's fire.

What do you think about that?

- Who let the press in? - No press conferences?

What is security doing?

Chief Woo.

- What is the hurry to re-open? - Make them leave!

- You can't do this. Leave. - Please, leave.

We demand compensation and an investigation!

The police have confirmed it to be an accident. Please go out.

There's a possibility it's a homicide.

Ha Hyun-su, Violent Crimes Division.

Is there a basis to assume homicide?

The first victim is right-handed.

Let's assume she'd use her right hand to cut herself.

Like this.

But in fact, her throat was cut the other way.

So we can assume the criminal is left-handed.

Similarities in the 2 cases suggest it may be a serial killer.

What do you say is the motive of the killings?

Well...

The motives for murder are often found close by.

Well, let's stop here. Everyone, back to work.

We're finished now. Please go out!

What on earth were you doing back there?

I'm sorry.

I haven't seen you before.

How do you do? I'm from the Seoul Violent Crimes...

Are you some kind of hero? Serial killing, my foot!

This is someone trying to get back at me.

The investigation will tell all about it!

We'll see, after we investigate.

Oh, and this...

I don't accept small change.

How conceited...

It's been a while, Detective Woo.

Or is it Chief Woo now?

Long time no see.

How did you end up here?

And what about you?

Didn't expect to see you at a crime scene again.

And you...

You're also left-handed, right?

Wow, what a great store. With lots of mirrors.

Pretty cool.

- Hello. - How may I help you?

Who are you?

We're the police.

Can you remove this?

What do you think you're doing?

Didn't your boss tell you?

From today, this is the police investigation control room.

Inspector Kim, bring the files and put the monitor here.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Everyone out, please!

What kind of situation is this?

Oh, Uncle...

Chairman.

I trusted you, Director Choi. How did we get here?

I'm sorry.

And look after your employees! How can I trust these people?

Chief Woo will be taking charge of this incident.

I don't want to be involved in this.

Have you still not gotten over from last year's incident?

No, it's not that...

It's the police's responsibility to solve this.

How long are you going to hide from yourself?

How long will you go around with an empty belt?

I know this isn't our job.

But this is a good opportunity for you.

Opportunities come once in a lifetime.

If you let it pass, you'll always regret it.

Director Choi.

2 people have died in 2 days.

You can't tell what might happen.

Carry it for your own good.

- Get the fire victims' files, - Yes, sir.

and see if any of the protestors are relatives.

Yes, sir!

- Go now, quickly! - Yes, sir!

And you...

Get me a list of everyone who entered last week by tomorrow.

Here it is.

We'll be taking care of everything,

so why don't you just go home?

How long are you going to keep talking down to me?

Isn't he Detective Woo who used to work in Special Operations?

He won the police shooting match for 3 or 4 years running, right?

So he came to work here after that hostage incident...

Where else would he go?

Stop it.

Hey, are you my high school friend, or a psychiatrist?

I'm telling you as a friend.

Then let me be.

Let me be.
