Through the Darkness (Those Who Read Hearts of Evil / Akui Maeumeul Ilneun Jadeul / 악의 마음을 읽는 자들)

On the 5th, the 1st boat to open the course to Mount Kumgang...

was Bongraeho.

Hyundai decided to put 800 passengers...

who reserved a trip...

to Mount Kumgang that had been postponed on Bongraeho.

Well, I can't say that for sure. But I...

They murdered and dismembered a member of their gang.

And they also ate up the intestines. This shocking and bizarre murder...

shocked the public.

Reporter Kim Sang Gi from Daejeon Broadcasting will continue.

Six members of the so-called Hero Gang...

(Show the right path and protect with warmth.)

(Visitation Request Form, Name: Yang Yong Chul)

Okay.

Inmate 3585.

He refused the visitation request.

- Have a good day. - Thanks.

Inmate 3585. He refused the visitation request.

Inmate 3585. He refused the visitation request.

Inmate 3585. He refused the visitation request.

Detective, why don't you put some money under his name next time?

Come on.

What's this about?

You don't even know who I am. Why did you refuse to see me?

Well, I don't have anyone who would visit me.

And whenever someone came to see me, it was never good news.

Why did you think he wasn't the culprit?

He's not the culprit.

I see. You have a good memory, Detective.

But you kept coming here because of what I said?

That's odd.

I want to know...

why you thought he wasn't the culprit.

Why do you want to know?

You won't tell me?

Why should I tell you that?

You don't need money?

Well,

I can tell just by looking at their eyes.

Here's a thing about hunches.

Detectives aren't the only ones who have them.

He stripped the girl naked.

And he killed her in the heat of the moment.

If he did it in the heat of the moment, why strip her naked?

And she was his girlfriend.

Right? Allegedly, he killed her in the heat of the moment.

Well, they must have been in love. Right?

Even if he killed her, it was a mistake.

Or an accident?

Okay. Let's call it an accident.

Then he would have dressed her if she was naked.

That's what a normal guy would do.

People who have killed someone before would strip their victims naked.

That's my point.

You know what habits are, right?

Old habits die hard.

And you end up doing these habits before you realize it.

What does that have to do with this case?

When I was a kid, my father always beat me up...

during our meals. Do you know why he beat me up?

Because I always left a spoonful of rice instead of finishing it.

It's odd. I just didn't want to eat the last spoonful of rice.

Eating the last spoonful made me feel...

like I was losing my spirit.

Well, I digress.

Anyway, he beat me up for leaving rice because it'd be bad luck.

But I still can't eat the last spoonful.

I don't have anyone...

who would beat me for leaving the last spoonful now.

Let me sum it up.

No matter how meticulously you plan something,

your habits come out like second nature.

That's my point.

I'm sure there was a reason behind stripping her.

He had to strip her to get off. And whoever did that...

is the real culprit.

Just like no matter how badly my father beat me up,

I had to leave the last spoonful of rice for me to be satisfied.

I bet I'm right about this.

Detective Song Ha Young.

Gosh. Again?

His MO is bothering me.

I'm sure it's related to Won Mal Sook's case in Uyeong-dong.

What MO?

It's the way she was killed.

She was also found naked without any signs of sexual assault.

He's doing that to humiliate the victims.

The case is closed. Stop causing trouble.

It's not advice. I'm warning you.

Hey. Answer me.

Don't do anything.

I warned you!

Hey! Darn it.

Signs of forced entry.

But no numbers.

- Here, this is for you. - Thank you.

My gosh, you must have a sweet tooth.

Yes.

All the detectives at Dongbu Police Station are busy,

so we thoroughly investigated the case, but...

I bet you couldn't catch that petty thief.

Like you suggested last time,

we interviewed all the delivery guys who work in the area...

but couldn't track him down.

I suppose that made him feel alarmed though.

It's been quiet since then.

We've further enhanced patrols in the area.

Was there anyone who seemed suspicious?

There was a kid who looked quite suspicious.

He's just a punk who bullies other kids in the area...

and extorts chump change from them.

We brought him in to interview him...

and checked his alibi too.

The thing is, he always wore a red cap.

The Red Cap has been caught.

That I know, but we all thought he seemed suspicious,

so we brought him in and questioned him.

I heard the man the lady at the store saw...

was wearing a red cap.

Witness statements are confidential.

I'm a regular at the store,

so that lady and I are quite close.

She was scared because she saw him,

so she asked me to keep an eye on her store,

which was why I made sure to patrol the area more often.

I found that cap.

It's true. Believe me.

Is it common for youngsters your age...

to use things that others threw out?

It was from a designer brand.

- Can I see it? - I threw it out.

- You did? - Darn it.

I had to go to the police station because of it.

I said it wasn't mine, but no one believed me.

- How tall are you? - Me?

I'm 183cm tall.

Anyway, he was short enough to be a girl.

- I can go now, right? - Wait.

The houses in the area have numbers like this by the entrance.

Do you know what this means?

Isn't it the street address?

How would I know?

This is so annoying.

Captain.

About the Uyeong-dong case, Won Mal Sook's prints...

were the only thing they found.

(Won Mal Sook, Fingerprint Analysis Results)

Who is this jerk?

His MO is bothering me.

I'm sure it's related to Won Mal Sook's case in Uyeong-dong.

Hand it over at once.

Thanks, guys.

Catching the culprit doesn't mean it's over.

What? Our job's done the moment we lock them up.

What more do we have to do?

We should record everything these criminals said and did...

so we can help prevent future crimes and...

You always have to make everything sound so important.

No! My goodness.

Whatever.

Hey, those case files too.

You requested them for no reason. They're just sitting on your desk.

Because of you, everyone from the 31 police stations in Seoul...

cursed me and Superintendent Baek like there was no tomorrow.

I'm telling you. It'll be useful one day.

When? How?

Gosh, why are you so negative?

Come on. It helped us organize all the files on serious crimes.

It wasn't so bad.

I guess you're a glass-half-full kind of person.

By the way, we detectives are satisfied...

when we can run around and cuff criminals...

with our own hands.

That profiler or whatever it's called. Are you sure...

that person is on board?

Don't you worry about that. Just create the department.

Well...

That's not something I can decide.

- Yes, you can. - Goodness.

Give us this new department.

Excuse me. Could you give us more radish kimchi?

Goodness.

I suppose what I told you wasn't useless.

Did something else happen?

What floor?

The ground floor. But I believe he's targeting other houses too.

Some of them are on the second floor.

I guess he's skilled at picking locks...

and jumping over walls.

You see, home is the safest place.

No one else can see what you do,

except for you and the victim.

But there were no signs of sexual assault.

Gosh. The victims were found naked. Obviously, he's a pervert.

Is that not sexual assault?

And that's why you came to see me. Am I wrong?

Hey, look.

I got caught because I dragged her to the parking lot.

It's not something I usually do. I only did it because I got horny.

Oh, boy.
