This weekend, the monsoon that

has hovered offshore will move inland,

setting off the summer rainy season.

We're off duty today, isn't this a little much?

Think of it as undercover work.

Maybe you'll catch a big fish and get promoted.

I told you, I don't fish on off days.

Then you boil the water, and I'll catch the fish.

You picked the wrong spot.

There's nothing but minnows here.

Minnows grow into carp, which grow into sharks.

I guess today must be that special day...

You never shut up, do you?

As a rookie, I helped my senior's girlfriend to move.

You've got it easy.

I'd rather help someone move. This is embarrassing

And why'd you lie?

You said I'd be inundated with women!

Look around you. All women.

Hello, everybody!

I've got some incredible news for all women.

I guess you've all heard that line before?

Every woman hopes for clear and smooth skin...

Thief! Stop, thief!

Please, help me! Thief!

What are you doing?

I'm off duty.

Move your ass!

Stay away!

A minute ago, you were a thief.

Now you're a hostage taker.

That's a double sentence, 5 more years in the can.

Shit, I'll slit her throat!

Stay away from me!

Drop the knife, man.

I'll kill her!

Don't come closer!

Can't I relax on my off day, you bastard?

Choo Ja-young speaking.

The handcuffs... it hurts!

Shut up, you punk.

Lady, this area's off limits.

Lady?

- Are you new here? You're cute. - What?

Hey, Dong-wook.

Lady, do you know me?

Arrest her.

Hey, you!

I told you, it's off limits!

You're dead! And you're dead, too.

Calm down, lady. Stop!

Did you find anything?

Nothing special.

They're checking footprints on the roof, so something'll turn up.

Seems to be his bag.

Oh yeah?

So he jumped off holding it.

No.

You goddamned bag! I'm tossing you over!

Then he jumped after it.

Any suicide note?

None.

I told you, he killed himself because of grades.

Anyway, the parents are the problem.

Day and night, study, study...

How can the kids take that?

But this uniform here...

Hey, bring Song In-woo's file.

- Song In-woo's file! - Yes.

The same class, same school...

One murdered, one suicide.

They could both be murder.

They were very close.

They were #1 and #2 in the school, but they hung out together.

So bad grades weren't the reason Kang-tae killed himself.

That's right.

Did any other students harass In-woo or Kang-tae?

No.

- Then did they harass others? - What?

Well, did they hit other students?

I wasn't expecting that question.

Both were model students, outgoing and popular.

There was nothing like that.

They never fought with each other?

Ah, about a month ago... They had a fight.

It was really out of character, they used their fists, even.

That's why I remember.

What is this?

This came out of his stomach?

At first, I thought this was just a simple suicide.

Anyway, open it up.

June 13, Monday.

What? What does it say?

I killed Inwoo at the pedestrian overpass.

This little punk is a real freak, isn't he?

You see, I told you.

This kid's no ordinary psycho.

He masterminded everything.

Abduction, releasing the victim, killing him...

and killing himself.

He's bold enough to commit murder in public.

Why kill himself? Doesn't make sense.

Doesn't make sense? I think you don't make sense.

Jayoung! How long have you been in the force?

You still can't figure out such an obvious case?

No trace of resistance on the roof,

and he died from the fall.

Plus, he confessed to murder on a scrap of diary.

Isn't this case closed?

If it's suicide, then why write

a death note and swallow it?

He just wanted to be noticed.

He was always overshadowed by the top student.

In this country, who remembers a #2?

As for murder, what else could it be

besides craving for attention?

So he stabbed a boy in the right torso

and jugular three times?

And if he's suicidal, why swallow the note?

Isn't a suicide note supposed to be read by people?

Shut up! What's the matter with you? Is today that day?

What?

You're just complicating things.

Chief Yang! Wrap this up,

and get on the luxury car theft case.

Our superiors are furious!

Chief, when has our division covered

cases like that?

Bastards, sucking up the tax money of the public.

Why can't they do their job instead of kissing ass. Fuck.

What? Fuck? You little...

Please take it easy, sir. Hey, Jayoung!

Close this case in three days, and join the first squad.

They've got more than they can handle!

If you keep this up, you're doing traffic duty.

Why does he have to come by so often?

Hey Jayoung, keep it down, will you?

You put me at risk too.

We can't work around the clock.

Can't we just take it easy?

There you go again.

How can a man be so sensitive?

It's you who's insensitive.

Why'd you become a detective?

Isn't a cliched question like that more suitable for a job interview?

At first glance,

I'd never believe you're a detective.

It's a civil service job.

A stable profession.

Risking your life in the violent crimes division?

I've always liked contradictions.

Safe, but at the same time dangerous...

Besides, it looks cool. Walking through the police line.

Or speeding with the siren going, I feel like a car racer.

Then what about you?

I dunno. Been so long I forgot.

That's not fair. I told you.

Hey, pull over a sec.

Hey, beat it.

Ouch, let go!

Where are you going?

Ouch, let go!

Get over here!

Ouch, let go!

If you skip out on your lessons again, you're dead!

Give me my bag.

It's confiscated.

You can't do that!

Be grateful I don't have a warrant.

Go in. You know two of your schoolmates are dead?

Come straight home after the lesson.

See you later, Jun-ha

Here's Kangtae's diary, as you requested.

Thank you.

If it's not his handwriting,

then whose writing did he swallow?

So, going home by 7pm is out of the question?

Are you working part time? Leaving right on the hour?

Right on the hour. Exactly 1:00 am.

I better forget about dating.

Consider me as your date.

I think I'd rather be single.

You're not my taste either, you know?

I told you, don't smack my head.

Okay, not the head.

Stop it! You pervert!

This means someone killed both Inwoo and Kangtae.

What are the traits of a serial killer?

Perversion!

They look normal.

Not that.

Cruelty... They're elites, surprisingly.

How would I know?

They have their own patterns?

What's true of Kangtae must be true of Inwoo.
