WHITE NIGHT

Take this to the car and call in more agents.

Yes, sir.

Anyone out there? Come in here!

The victim is KANG Jae-doo, 51 years old,

arrested on blackmail charges 5 years ago.

He came to this place last month after his release,

but a few days ago he put the house up for rent.

Before he was arrested, he lived with a woman named SUH Hae-young,

who kept transferring money to his bank account

even after they had split up.

Are you positive it's a suicide?

There are signs of resistance that suggest otherwise.

Things like that are found at every suicide scene.

Without a suicide note,

I think we should focus on the possibility of murder.

You have no idea how rarely suicides leave a note.

Then why did he put the house up for rent if he was going to commit suicide?

Hey!

- Take off the damn sunglasses! - Shut up, both of you!

AUTOPSY?

End of next week at the earliest.

Shit! They're always slow.

Chief! Chief! Let me through! Another body was found.

14 years ago

Hey:

Yes?

Check out the rescue center and meet me inside.

OK.

Dong-soo!

- Turn the light on. - Got it.

Snowflakes... are falling...

Sir!

- Over there? - Yes, sir.

- Take this. - Tae-ho!

- Is this the only passage? - That's what I heard.

As the cabin was locked from inside, this must be the only way out.

Who found this first?

- Look who's here. - Look who's talking.

What an asshole to choose such a tricky place!

Let's move up.

- Hello. - Dad, where are you?

Hi, Min-jae.

- Did he die instantly? - Probably in less than a minute.

His coronary artery was cut, so his heart burst right away.

Any blood spillage?

Only a little. He had almost no external hemorrhages.

I'm not sure about the weapon, though.

Something long and sharp, but not a knife.

- Yes, we'll go sleighing. OK? - What about the estimated time of death?

Somewhere between 13 and 24 hours ago

considering the rigor mortis and the opaque corneas.

Jeez! You're going to sink the ship!

- Be careful. - Are you sure the door was locked?

Ask him.

How is it going?

We're still working on it.

- Anything missing? - No. Nothing special.

But, there's no lighter.

You can lose it anywhere. Jesus! Come on!

Here's the man in eternal sleep.

If the door was locked from inside, how did the murderer get out?

Who found the body?

A kid who crawled up through the food elevator passage.

What on earth was he doing here?

There's no playground in the neighborhood,

and this ship is the kids' favorite hangout.

Did you notice anything strange about that kid?

You sometimes treat people like beasts.

A murderer is worse than a brute! Got it?

Here he goes again.

What the... What is this?

It's one or the other.

He ate too much or had a helluva lot of fun.

What a dump for such a rich man to fool around in.

Please move aside for the victim's photo.

The victim is KIM Si-who, 45 years old.

He runs a big pawnshop in Incheon.

He has a 41-year-old wife, SUH Hae-young

and a 14-year-old son, KIM Yo-han.

The estimated time of death is 9 pm on the 19th.

All the crime scene investigators found were

the victim's belongings, bloodstains and fingerprints.

And bloodstain analysis is in progress.

- And there's also YANG Mi-sook. - A suspect?

Yes, she was having an affair with the victim.

She is the prime suspect at the moment.

She regularly borrowed money from the victim

but never paid him back.

Anything else suspicious?

On the day of the murder, the victim was seen

heading to YANG'S house with a cake box.

What is that?

What the hell is that?

Ah, I found it at the scene, but the CSI team sent it back.

All right. I was about to leave.

Move your asses!

Hey, Tae-ho. Let's go.

- Ah, Dong-soo! - Huh?

You were right about the lighter.

He had a Zippo with a tiger emblem and always carried it.

Is that so?

Hey kid, you live here?

We're police. We need to ask your mom something.

Is she home?

She'll be back soon.

I see...

Then, may we wait for her inside?

Then... show me.

Show you what?

Your badge.

Ah... sure!

You've got it?

Geez...

Here.

Thank you!

Hey kid!

What's your name?

Jia. LEE Jia.

Jia... Pretty name.

What are you reading?

Oh, Gone with the Wind!

I haven't read it yet.

- Like it? - Yes.

Don't tell me you don't know it. There's a movie, too.

Seen it?

No...

Jia... by any chance... do you know the pawnbroker living uptown?

Yes.

How do you know him?

He sometimes comes by.

I see.

Jia! I told you to lock the door!

Are you Ms. YANG Mi-sook?

We're investigating a murder. I believe you know the man who was killed, KIM Si-who.

Murder?

We're retracing his steps before the murder.

Did he come here on the 19th?

No, he didn't.

He brought the cake, didn't he?

Ah... Yes, he did.

He stopped by that day. I forgot about it.

What brought him here?

He just visits us now and then

to check on me and my daughter.

Well, he lent you money regularly, but you never paid him back.

I promised to repay him later. When I could afford it.

There are more things I want to ask you.

Please come with us to the police station.

Ah... yes. Could you wait outside for a minute?

Yes, sure.

You didn't tell them anything, did you?

I didn't.

You must never!

- He... - Shut up! Zip your mouth!

We can't live like this anymore for mere money!

Mere money?

Do you want to live on the streets?

You don't know how hard it is to raise you alone...

Ms. YANG Mi-sook!

Attention!

- Salute! - Thank you, teacher.

- Young-eun, let's go to a karaoke. - OK.

Let's go! I'm so tired!

Happy Birthday. And thank you as always.

With the rooftop garden finished, construction is now complete.

Building A will be a shopping arcade, and Building B will feature theaters and...

Buyers' itinerary is confirmed. Dinner starts at 7 pm at Chosun Hotel.

Good. When are they leaving?

They'll take the 17:00 flight tomorrow.

- Make sure nothing goes wrong. - Yes, sir.

And...

While contracting Miss YOO's shop, I noticed something strange.

Something strange?

She was adopted.

Did you know?

Miss YOO!

Where should I put this?

Follow me.

Leave it here for now.

Hello.

When will the signboard be ready?

OK. Please finish it before opening day.

Seung-jo!

Well, do you like it?

I'm afraid this is too much for a novice like me.

But you majored in fashion design.

Yes, but that was ages ago.
