EPISODE 5

I didn't know the air was so fresh in the morning.

Is Officer Park coming with you?

It's a felon we're releasing here.

I need to monitor him so he won't try anything.

Did you bring it?

Hey.

Have you put this on anyone before?

It can't be too hard.

You are one fearless lady.

At least you brought the newest model.

This can be linked to your smart watch.

If it goes out of monitoring range,

it'll immediately notify the control center.

And an APB will be put out.

For making sure a murderer can't roam around freely,

this is the perfect device.

Just because you're being released

doesn't mean you're special, so don't be mistaken,

- you damn murderer-- - We should hurry.

To avoid the reporters,

We need to arrive at the NPA early in the morning.

Fine. Let's go.

Let's go catch the bad guy who's worse than this bad guy.

Let's go.

What's up, Sang-jae?

Hello, sir.

Did you check the angles?

We're doing that right now.

Darn it. I spilled.

Could you move your face away? You'll break the lens.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION UNIT

Right. Turning the volume up.

Where's Kwon Seok-joo?

KWON SEOK-JOO'S REAL-TIME LOCATION

We're getting his signal.

And the same location is being sent

to the smartwatch Lieutenant Joo Hyun is wearing.

You little punk.

Hey, Cyber Bureau guy.

Hey!

ALL SET

Hello?

Is everything going all right?

No reporters following us or witnesses so far.

I think we're good.

Some people might still recognize Kwon Seok-joo.

Stay alert until you arrive.

Will he spend the next seven years in prison,

or will he watch the sunrise every morning outside?

It'll be up to him.

Anyway, don't worry.

I'll keep a close eye on him.

Sang-jae.

Check the cameras in the corridor too.

Yes, sir.

Oh, there he is.

Sir.

I've hit the jackpot.

Bae Gi-chul's wife's phone.

We couldn't find anything from her texts, photos, or DNA but...

Look.

RUSSIAN SELECT LANGUAGE

KOREAN

SOMEONE BLACKMAILED ME ON THE DAY MY HUSBAND DIED

He has a similar physique to the guy I met at Kwon's house.

Zoom in.

Damn.

How did we miss that?

You've got to be joking.

I talked to the kids,

and they remember "Delivery" was written on the kidnapper's vest.

But they couldn't see his face, because he was wearing a mask.

Look more carefully. Are they the same man?

He must be a professional martial artist.

How do you know that? We can't even see his face.

His gait, for starters. It's perfectly balanced.

And look. He seems agile when he hops off the motorbike.

There's no doubt.

The guy I fought was similar.

Not only did he seem to know martial arts but also ways to kill.

So it's safe to say they're the same man.

The national Taekwondo athlete nailed it.

Anything from Bae's house?

We found a black box,

which was filled with photos of some Russian boy.

Hold on.

I just got them.

Could he be her child?

Did she leave her child in her hometown?

He might've threatened her son

to make her call Bae out of the bar.

Then, Gaetal got him in the taxi and murdered him.

It kept bothering me that his last call was from his wife.

Wait.

Does this mean we should suspect the taxi driver?

Hold on.

Ko Dong-gyu was at the funeral too.

We can't be sure about that yet.

That taxi driver has a solid alibi.

There's going to be another Killing Vote soon.

Why can't there be one thing at a time?

Everyone wants them all dead. Jeez.

Put an APB out on the motorbike.

Keep an eye on deliverymen at every place related to The Killing Vote.

Come on. Keep your heads up.

Let's put them all behind bars

and take a nice, long break.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir!

NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

Seeing as you came here yourself so early, you must be pretty nervous.

Of course, I am.

If word gets out the police are getting help from a criminal,

it's going to create an even bigger stir than when you came back alive.

Whenever I get mixed up with you, things never end well.

Whatever.

Since we've brought him out,

I might as well take him to every place where Gaetal might show up.

Don't you dare!

No one can know about this,

so just as we originally planned, use him only to find the next targets.

We know for sure Gaetal is someone who was around Kwon Seok-joo.

So we must bring him with us to see if he recognizes anyone.

If you're that scared, then stay out of this.

Nothing scares me except for my wife and you.

Whenever you cause trouble, I'm scared I might lose my pension, you punk!

You should be thankful the commissioner and I have your back.

Isn't it because only I do the dirty work?

You little...

Thank you, Lieutenant Joo.

Shouldn't we bring him out to shake hands and take photos together?

You bastard. Seriously...

Don't mess up.

I'll move him to the isolation room now.

I'll do it.

You go figure out the targets first.

You can go in now.

Yes, sir.

It's nice to see you,

Kim Mu-chan.

Man, there's not much difference from the detention center.

One.

Two.

Three.

Except for a few cameras, it seems pretty lax here.

Look at all the dust.

Where am I supposed to stay?

Testing. One, two.

There's a room for you right next door, Officer Park.

Jeez, that startled me.

Take his cuffs off.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Kwon Seok-joo.

I'm Lieutenant Kim Jo-dan from the Cyber Bureau.

I was deeply impressed by the legal ethics lecture you once gave.

Because I was arrested for hacking.

Your room will be watched by guards working in three shifts.

There are CCTV cameras outside of the room as well,

so we can watch your every move in real time.

So there won't be any blind spots.

Should you wish to leave this room,

you must be accompanied by at least one guard or detective.

So I suggest you don't do anything

that would cause any misunderstandings.

The most important thing is

that no one can know you're here.

The moment people find out, the special pardon will be canceled.

Fine.

I better go check my room.

Well...

For a long-term stay,

the decor's a bit of a shame.

You know what my house looks like.

Why didn't you add staying in a hotel to the conditions then?

Go through all the letters you've received, your acquaintances,

and everyone who was at the final trial,

and pick out those who may be Gaetal.

As he admitted himself and as the circumstances suggest,

Gaetal must be one of them.

Shouldn't we find the next targets first?

Let's divide work for efficiency.

Finding the culprit is our top priority.

The next victim will be an evil criminal anyway,

so letting them get killed

is okay?

Humans really don't change.

But then, you never even tried to change,

so I found you very fascinating.

From now on, I'll communicate only through Lieutenant Joo.

Whether it's for finding Gaetal or the next targets,

I won't talk or work with anyone but her.

That won't be possible.

As a criminal, I can't let you choose a specific officer.

That's too bad.

CRIME AND FORENSIC SCIENCE

I guess I'll have to forfeit my pardon
