Nobody Knows (아무도 모른다)

It looks like fairies.

Young Jin, could they be a freak of nature?

Since chlorophyll is absent, photosynthesis can't happen.

It's why they're white.

Then what do they live on?

Dead plants, decaying carcasses of animals,

and their feces.

Gosh, they're disgusting.

That's hardly the case. Actually, I find them inspiring.

They feed on what's unsanitary and clean up this world.

You're an old lady in a young girl's suit.

You sound like your grandfather sometimes.

And why is that bad? - Forget it.

What's its name?

Why? What is it?

Ghost plant.

Ghost plant. Really?

Its name sounds as pretty as mine, Su Jung.

Look at how innocent and beautiful you are.

Just like me.

We should get going.

Young Jin,

could there be a body buried under it?

That's absurd.

Let's go. - Let's go.

You're being ridiculous.

You never know.

In Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province,

the eighth victim of the stigmata Killer was found.

A vicious murder took place...

in which the victim's waist and both palms were mutilated.

Stigmata refers to the bodily wounds...

that correspond to those found on Jesus Christ.

It also refers to the religious symbol...

one may have on his or her body.

After the third victim was found with the same wounds,

the police categorized the killings as serial...

and started to form a nationwide task force.

The police apologize for bringing pain and suffering...

to the public.

The killer is still on the loose.

The victim was only in high school...

which makes her the youngest yet.

Just like the others,

her palms and waist were mangled too.

These serial killings will go down in history as the nation's worst.

We have the most vicious serial killer on the loose.

This is the last question.

On the afternoon of the incident,

Su Jung called you three times. Why didn't you answer?

I wasn't in the mood.

But she called three times.

Our house has lousy reception,

so I have to head outside to talk.

If I had answered my phone,

she might not have died.

Su Jung's phone...

The killer probably has it, right?

It was probably tossed in the sea...

or smashed.

Then why did the killer take it in the first place?

What?

The killer has never taken any items...

off his victims before.

I'm sure he still has it.

Cha Young Jin?

Isn't this you?

It is.

Finally, you answered.

If I had answered on that day...

She might've lived.

My original target was you,

but I went after your friend since you didn't fit the criteria.

I'll kill you.

Aren't you afraid of me?

I could still come after you, you know.

No, I'll be one who catches you.

Then I should tell you this.

The serial killings will stop now.

Choi Su Jung was my last victim,

so you will never be able to find me.

I will.

I don't care if it takes forever.

I will find you no matter what.

So stay alive until then.

I like you...

and I can't wait to meet you.

We'll meet someday.

It was a young man.

Did he identify himself as the killer?

The phone has been turned off.

And what else did he say?

He told me...

that he's going to murder someone else soon.

He told me this isn't the end.

Hey. - Are you getting a promotion?

How did you know?

I'm in front of the dry cleaner's. - I see.

Why didn't you tell me?

You don't tell me everything you did in school.

When is your promotion? - Tomorrow.

Really? Should I pick this up for you?

Okay.

Listen to me, you jerks!

Why don't you go inside a bit later?

Who is she? - The mother...

of the first victim. Let's stay out of it.

If we're there, she'll just keep complaining.

Come on.

How could you do this?

Why now? You gave up a long time ago!

Why do you suddenly want to check my daughter's belongings?

Ma'am, calm down.

We never gave up.

Now that we have better technology,

we might get some new evidence...

Then you never should've returned my daughter's stuff!

Back then, we didn't know technology would develop so much.

Stop the investigation.

What? - We have...

nothing left that used to belong to my daughter.

We're the only ones who have nothing!

I also don't want to do the investigation. It's useless.

But on the other hand, you just don't want us to do it...

because you got rid of your daughter's belongings.

Stop bothering the other families.

Don't give them false hope!

You're the one who burned your daughter's stuff.

You can't tell us not to investigate just because you're upset.

Sergeant Kim.

Watch what you say.

You're unbelievable.

Didn't you come see me...

with Detective Hwang 17 years ago?

Don't tell me you've been on this case ever since then.

There's no way.

The police...

never gave up on trying to find the serial killer.

Then you should've kept all the evidence!

Even if we begged you to give it back,

you should've kept it with you!

We have...

your daughter's belongings.

We burned everything.

The day the statute of limitations ended,

we burned everything that was in her room.

Your youngest daughter put a letter card in her bag.

And she kept it with her when the police returned it to her.

She kept it?

Is she going to send it from the States?

No.

She'll be bringing it in herself.

Goodbye.

Why did you have to tell her that the police never gave up?

The family of the deceased are going to bother us even more now.

Ms. Cha.

I want you to drop the case if you fail again.

I told you to investigate because you had some time...

after you finished off a huge case.

But this is too risky.

The statute of limitations has ended for everyone else...

other than Choi Su Jung, the last victim.

If it weren't for her,

this would've been a closed case a long time ago.

The evidence analysis that needs to be sent to the family...

will detect tons of new DNA cells...

since it was in the hands of so many different people.

It's not like we failed to catch the culprit...

because we didn't have his DNA.

We just could never find who he is.

Did you hear that? - If there's a way,

I plan to keep going.

Again? You're always like this!

And you're doing it again.

The two of you can work on...

the Yeonju-dong missing professor case.

You can work with Jae Hong.

Okay.

She's making me age. I used to look so young.

Bye, sir.

By the way,

I didn't know Chief Hwang used to be Ms. Cha's boss.

Do you know him?

Don't you know him?

Chief Hwang In Bum who's in charge of the Child and Youth Unit?

He's really famous for having gotten a call from the culprit...

of the stigmata serial murders...

saying he's going to murder someone else.

Oh, really?

Because of that call,

we were on emergency duty for over three months.

We got so many prank calls from all over the country.

Chief Hwang dropped the case a long time ago.

But she's been on it for 17 years.
