ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, AND INCIDENTS...
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
POLICE
2 YEARS AGO
You ran a red light...
Policewomen aren't strong enough to fight violent crimes.
And HR thinks there are other jobs that are suitable for policewomen...
Lieutenant Gong Hye Won.
It takes you 12.3 seconds to finish a 100m race...
and 229 seconds to finish 1,000m race.
You can do 62 sit-ups.
You can do 63 push-ups.
I was impressed by your left and right grip which was 62kg.
The best score for guys is 61kg.
I don't think you're that weak.
Plus, you don't seem to enjoy jobs that are suitable for policewomen.
Just come join my team.
If you keep giving me tickets, I'll end up going bankrupt.
I liked him from the very start.
Based on Inspector Do Jung Woo's special request,
Gong Hye Won, Jang Ji Wan, and Yoon Seok Pil,
the three of you...
will get appointed to the Special Team.
Any objections?
- No, sir! - No, sir!
You may each take a week off,
and report to the Special Team starting December 10.
- You're dismissed. - Attention.
- Salute. - Thank you, sir!
At ease.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
My gosh. So was that team really formed?
That's right.
Superintendent Do is the commissioner's illegitimate son,
so he got special treatment.
Just because he's his illegitimate son?
I heard the commissioner was caught doing something bad.
That he found something while working on a case, and...
WE'LL CREATE A SAFE COUNTRY WITH HAPPY PEOPLE.
Since we're on the topic,
it's super cool that our captain became a cop after passing the bar.
This is a secret,
but he's my role model.
It's a secret? Why is it that I know already?
Anyone can see it a mile away.
- Is it obvious? - Totally obvious.
But it's completely understandable.
He's smart, he's good at what he does...
He seems to be someone worthy of respect.
Right?
The fact that he knows what he wants to do...
in this wretched society...
That's not all.
He's good looking, talented, and has good manners.
- He has the trifecta that women... - Who are you?
Is he a homeless man?
- Lieutenant Yoon? - Yes.
Hi, I'm Superintendent Do.
Yes, sir. I'm Yoon Seok Pil.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Lieutenant Yoon Seok Pil.
We start today, right? Looking forward to it.
It's nice to meet you.
My gosh. This is nice. We have a team.
Regardless of how he looked,
I just could not dislike him.
AWAKEN
PRESENT TIME
EPISODE 3
Lieutenant Gong.
Yes?
You said Choi Yong Suk was getting therapy.
Is there a record that he had gone on the day of the incident?
I don't think so.
Even the wife only knew he was going,
but not when, where, or what kind of treatment it was.
Then how did he know?
Choi Yong Suk had just completed sleep therapy,
so it's like he had just woken up.
Do you think it was a side effect of therapy?
Baek Seung Jae was being treated for alcoholism.
We're not sure about Park Kyu Tae and Kim Young Joon, but...
Considering Kim Young Joon's crime and the fact that he was a minor,
it's very likely that he received psychiatric treatment.
They were grinning as if they were hypnotized.
You saw.
You can do that to someone through therapy?
Wouldn't it make more sense that they were drugged?
Their bloodwork came back clean.
Maybe they developed on themselves. Hey, Hye Won.
Isn't that possible with current technology?
Definitely. In dramas.
I vote for hypnosis. That makes the most sense.
That is also only in dramas.
Realistically, there's a problem with space and time.
If you make someone so crazy that they kill themselves,
they must've been segregated from society for a certain time.
If they weren't locked up...
or kidnapped and then released...
Exactly.
A high school student, a corporate executive,
a celebrity CEO, a professor.
Making people living just fine suddenly commit suicide?
That's unlikely.
People have a self-preservation instinct.
This.
Our victims lacked these reflexes.
What if they believed their actions wouldn't kill them?
Let's focus on the acts themselves.
Kim Young Joon simply jumped off.
Even a kindergartener knows you die if you jump from that height.
Park Kyu Tae simply went into the dog pen.
How could a trained hunter not know that it's dangerous to trespass...
into the home of hunting dogs who had tasted blood?
All Baek Seung Jae did was swim.
Until he died?
All Choi Yong Suk did was hold out his hand.
They must've thought they could.
That's why there was no self-defense reflex.
How could they think it was okay?
What about people who are into extreme sports?
They jump from a cliff 100m high.
They dive deep into the sea with nothing but an oxygen tank.
It's only possible with...
With repeated practice.
They do the same thing over and over again...
to see how far they can go.
Why you... How dare you come here?
A Korean citizen...
may go anywhere he pleases.
My gosh. What brings you here, Mr. Lee Ji Wook?
We would've summoned you if you hadn't come in voluntarily.
I prefer offense over defense.
It's so gloomy in here. Oh, so very gloomy.
Here.
What will you give me in exchange for information?
It's a lead the cops couldn't even dream of.
If you call me in to testify, I will not talk.
You. I'm giving it specially just to you.
You're scaring me.
Anyway, how were you guys in Jangi-dong?
- Did you crack the code? - We can't tell you...
By chance.
We found out totally by chance.
So you won't tell me. I guess you cracked it.
How could we crack that impossible code?
How did we know?
Did we find it on the street? I can't remember.
And you call yourselves cops.
Tell us what you want in exchange for the intel.
First, you will not summon me as a witness.
And I want exclusive rights.
And immunity.
Why do you need immunity?
So, you illegally followed someone and trespassed.
I wanted to be sure.
I'd be hurt if I had reported it without doing my due diligence.
You would've called me a lying attention seeker.
You did good.
We would've been hurt if we had ignored you as being...
a lying attention seeker,
only to have it come true.
I wish everyone giving tips would investigate first.
I mean it.
So, how certain is this information?
I'm sure that the police could never get their hands on it.
Did you find the other similarity between these dead guys...
other than the fact that they were rich jerks?
A similarity?
Let's see it.
Wait. Aren't you giving us that one too?
I'm a reporter. The secret to success is knowing...
when to release what.
Wait a second.
If it'll help the investigation...
You'll regret it.
- I'll make you regret it... - You won't.
What could this be?
What is this? I can't tell just by looking.
Would you be nice and explain it to us?
Please, Mr. Lee Ji Wook?
Yes, that's more like it.
If you're incompetent, at least don't be proud.
You can't get anywhere if you argue.
Okay.
JANGI-DONG 27-3
All of them...
went into this building.
JANGI-DONG 27-3
All of these people went into this building?
So, if we find your prints here...
Please ignore them.
Mr. Lee?
If you were following Choi Yong Suk, that means you knew he'd die next.
Why didn't you report it to the police?
I can't trust the cops.
Not because it would be better breaking news if he died?
What?
No, right?
Why that...
Gosh, the siren is so loud.
Are we supposed to catch the culprit or let the culprit run away?
The Olympic Highway headed toward Jamsil...
- You need to pay a fine for that. - Go ahead and report me.
Have you lost your mind?
I get that you have no pride, but do you also want to die?
I just wanted to see you smile.
Then you should've done something to make me laugh,
not try to get us killed.
I'm not good at that kind of stuff.
I don't think I ever will be.
Lee Ji Wook only cares about creating issues.
Why would you play along with that?
In the end, he gave us the necessary information.
- That's all that matters. - Do you only care about results?
Do you not care about the process?
- A police officer should... - A police officer should...
keep his or her eyes on the road.
I don't get why you've changed so much.
- You weren't like this before. - Yes, I was.
Back when you asked me to join the team...
Back then?
I just did what I needed to do to get what I wanted.
And I'm doing the same right now.
I thought you were someone I could look up to.
What's with that laugh?
You couldn't be more wrong.
Eyes on the road.
Do you think we should've broadcasted this?
If we did, the ratings would've been crazy.
And then, we would've gotten sued.
Yes, you're right. I'm glad we didn't broadcast it.
If you want to play big, you need to learn how to wait.
You need to know when to show your cards.
That's what's important.
CAFETERIA
Let's see.
Don't say you're suspicious.
Just make them get suspicious instead.
MODU
In order to catch a cop, we need to use cops.
Make them fight with each other...
and wait until things get messy.
"PSYCHOANALYSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY"
- Sir. - Yes?
You need to see this.
PARK KYU TAE
What is that?
BAEK SEUNG JAE
CHOI YONG SUK
It looks like Lee Ji Wook found the right place.
Yes, he really did find the right place.
That's what you call a scoop.
GOVERNMENT
CHOI DO HYUN: PES BIG BOTTLE, OWES 250 DOLLARS...
Gosh.
Did you have to creep up on me like that?
I'm here to secretly buy drugs.
Do you want me to sing out loud or what?
Here.
OH KYUNG MIN
Don't you have a bigger one?
What if you die due to an overdose?
You take drugs just to get better grades.
Who knows what you might do?
"Just to get better grades"?
Why would I do anything to ruin my life?
I'm not a lowlife like you.
- What did you just say? - It's funny how a punk like you...
thinks it's okay to look down on me.
If you have a lot to lose,
your grades mean a lot more to you than you think.
- Are you done talking? - No, I'm not.
You got a problem?
Hey.
I'm done selling drugs to you.
You think you can use that to threaten me?
It's a mental illness, you know.
You think you're worth something when you're just being used.
But I heard that's how poor people tend to think...
in order to make themselves feel better.
PARK KYU TAE
CHOI YONG SUK
IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE SEEN THIS STOP ERROR SCREEN...
It's someone new.
Could it be the next victim?
SON MIN HO
Gosh, it uses a fingerprint recognition.
If we want to see more, we need to hack into this.
- Really? - Do you think there's more?
The video we saw at the counseling center in Jangi-dong...
was probably also programmed...
to pop up with a time difference.
So we'll have to hack into it to find out what's inside.
Then I'll go take this to the cyber investigation team.
Before we do, let's give it a try.
It won't hurt to try.
It's a 1 in a 64 billion chance that your fingerprint matches...
with a complete stranger's.
But because there's a limit to technology,
the percentage decreases...
to 1 in 300,000.
I guess it doesn't work.
- Would you like to give it a try? - Sure.
It'd be crazy if it worked.
Superintendent Do.
There's no way this works.
Hye Won, you should try this time.
I'll take this to the cyber investigation team.
But she hasn't...
Not all of us got to try.
Superintendent Do.
She wants to talk to me.
Doesn't she seem peculiar?
- It looks like she's here to... - Peculiar in a good way...
or a bad way?
A good or a bad way?
How can anyone be peculiar in a good way?
Wait.
Am I invisible to you guys?
SPECIAL TEAM
What are you hiding?
No one seems to have noticed,
but there was no video of Kim Young Joon.
BAEK SEUNG JAE
And Kim Young Joon's death is pretty weird.
Yes, he really did find the right place.
You already knew something...
before we came across this laptop, didn't you?
You shouldn't be suspicious of me just because I'm smart.
If you're smart, how do you know that Kim Young Joon was...
a bit different from the others?
You said what you knew by accident.
You meant to keep it a secret, but you made mistake.
A mistake? I don't make mistakes.
If I said something,
I would've done so for a reason.
For example, maybe I wanted to test the American...
that suddenly showed up out of the blue.
Me? Why?
Are you scared I might figure out what you're trying to hide?
Gosh, I'm not hiding anything.
Maybe you're suspecting me because that's what you're doing.
Why were you startled when we saw the video of the next victim?
Nothing in the file says Choi Yong Suk received treatment,
especially sleep therapy, on the day he died.
So what gave you the idea?
I had made a guess, and I happened to be right.
The same goes for me.
There was a video of a new victim,
so it's natural that I was startled.
You got lucky?
So you're saying you just happened to be near a counseling center...
that didn't even have a signboard?
No, that's impossible.
You knew...
that something was going to happen to Choi Yong Suk...
after his sleep therapy session.
Then...
maybe I'm the culprit.
But seriously,
is that what you really think?
I told you not to waste your energy like this.
Me? I don't get what you mean.
What... What's wrong with me?
I don't understand...
No, I swear. Why... Why was this in my pocket?
I... I wasn't thinking of doing anything bad.
I don't remember anything again.
Take off your clothes.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Do you think it'll take a while to hack into the laptop?
Yes, probably. I heard they do everything manually.
Fortunately, we have a database of everyone's fingerprints.
This smell is so familiar.
What?
Well...
- Gosh, what's this smell? - Hey, guys.
Why does our office smell like an autopsy room?
That's me.
The smell of corpses always gets on my hair and clothes.
But I didn't have time to shower.
What? The smell of corpses?
Shower stalls for women are only in the joint building.
This country has horrible welfare.
Do I stink that much?
What brings you all the way here?
I found something interesting.
I found fingerprints that belonged to Kim Young Joon, Park Kyu Tae,
Baek Seung Jae, and Choi Yong Suk, but also...
Wait.
You found Kim Young Joon's fingerprints as well?
What? Why? Isn't that normal?
Never mind. You can continue.
Anyway, that's not important.
The deputy chief also would've gotten the report by now.
But I also found another fingerprint that belonged to...
Son Min Ho, right?
- How did you know? - How did you know?
How could you not know?
We found a laptop, and Son Min Ho's photo was in there.
Do you know him?
You should know him too.
Did you not graduate high school? What did you learn in history class?
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
REPORT
Kim Young Joon, Park Kyu Tae, Baek Seung Jae...
JANGI-DONG 27-3
SON MIN HO
"Son Min Ho".
What am I supposed to do now that we have his fingerprint?
DEPUTY CHIEF HWANG BYUNG CHUL
The higher ups won't want us to dig into this.
Whom exactly are you talking about?
Darn it. It's probably someone we can't even talk to.
Do I stink that much?
No.
Oh, this isn't official.
But there's one more person.
I didn't get any fingerprints or DNA.
But there was a footprint...
that didn't belong to any of the others...
considering the person's height, weight, and habits.
It's a guy who's light and has good balance.
Actually, he's probably as big and heavy as you are.
He wore boots, and his feet are 270mm big.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
- See you. - Bye.
Size 42.
That's 270mm, right?
You'll get hurt if you keep annoying me.
Let's start the briefing.
Let's go.
Gosh.
BRIEFING ON SON MIN HO
THE KEY FIGURE OF WHITE NIGHT VILLAGE PROJECT
Son Min Ho played a critical role in the establishment...
of White Night Village, which was all over the news 28 years ago
White Night Village.
I feel like we studied it...
I remember now!
White Night Village was the first project to try communal childcare...
triggered by the Child Welfare Act...
which was enacted in 1981.
In order to meet the emotional...
and other non-material needs of orphans,
an entire village was merged into a family,
and attempted at communal childcare.
This was made possible...
by the then-24-year-old Son Min Ho's leadership.
"WHO'S SON MIN HO?"
He majored in education...
and appeared to be a teacher-type,
but it seems he was more of a businessman.
He changed the landscape of philanthropy...
which was solely funded through sponsorships.
Hello.
He formed a "good company" based on supplements...
that a doctor resident developed,
and created an image of a socially conscious corporation.
The drug must have been effective.
It flew off the shelves...
because people thought they could do good deeds by buying good drugs.
"WHITE NIGHT INCREASES PRODUCTION OF SUNRINSOO AND SUNRINDAN"
Hello. Thank you for your hard work.
Please sit.
SUNRIN FACTORY EXPANSION CEREMONY
- Okay. - Here we go.
1, 2, 3.
It was practically a miracle.
That tiny village happened to have a brilliant doctor and scientist.
CHO HYUN HEE
In the village created...
using government funds to raise children,
a miracle drug was developed and became a huge hit.
SUNRINSOO, SUNRINDAN
My grandpa used to drink that.
Pretty much everyone did.
It was called the miracle drug at the time.
The profits White Night Village made...
from the development and sales of the drugs...
was equivalent to approximately 900 million dollars now.
900 million dollars?
If you add what was distributed illegally, about seven billion.
We don't know if the drug worked or if it was a placebo effect,
but it's clear...
who took all of that money.
Because not many survived the tragedy.
Tragedy?
As quickly as its business boomed...
No. It was destroyed overnight.
When the police arrived,
there were seven survivors.
And all of them...
- were minors. - Wait.
What about the others? Are you saying all the adults died?
I heard it was a mass suicide.
- Who took the blame? - No one.
They pulled the plug on the project afterward.
Something was rotten.
Why did no one take the blame?
Shouldn't Son Min Ho take the blame?
There wasn't enough to charge him.
A few researchers were out of town for work,
and he was among them.
Thereafter, the insane amount of money...
disappeared.
It is nowhere in the current police records.
Son Min Ho probably took it.
He's a total fraud.
Conclusively,
Son Min Ho is an evil jerk, no doubt about it,
and a perfect candidate to become a victim.
So we should go to him.
Must you go this far?
These victims had committed crimes,
but used their influence...
I don't know what number I am,
but if my name is on that kill list...
Yes! I must go this far.
After the tragic day, we located all the surviving kids...
and brought them back or got rid of them.
He was sued 13 times...
Are you sure that list of survivors indeed listed everyone?
They were 8 and 9-year-olds.
A kid survived the mayhem back then...
and avoided being found by the foundation?
It would be more believable that I lost my mind and set fire...
What if kids survived,
avoided being found by the foundation,
and are attacking us?
The third victim...
Okay, we're done.
- We're done. - Yes.
- Let's go. - Let's go back.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Let's go home now.
Are you okay?
They could set fires easily.
A new murder was forewarned.
LEE JI WOOK'S "ZOOM IN"
"When the blue chicken embraces the white monkey,"
"the bug which shuts its eyes to the fiery injustice..."
"will shake hands with the hot envoy."
I hope the police will be able to save a precious life this time.
A closer look at current events.
With "Zoom In", I am Lee Ji Wook.
Okay! Nice. Good.
Nice.
I can hear the ratings go up.
- Hey, Ji Wook. Hey. - What?
How is the investigation going for the serial killer?
- What do you mean? - You know.
You got them to promise to give you the exclusive.
Hey. Do you actually believe them?
I'd believe a gambling addict...
who says he'll quit gambling before I trust a cop.
Did it fall through then?
- Thanks, everyone. - It fell through?
That's what I've been waiting for.
Thanks, everyone.
- Good work. - Good work.
Thanks for the briefing.
But...
what about the exclusive that we promised Lee Ji Wook?
What? It's not like we said we'd tell him everything we find.
- What? - It just has to be an exclusive.
Of course. There's no need to tell him everything.
CYBER INVESTIGATION TEAM
No.
I know it's hard, but it's very urgent.
What case isn't urgent?
Right.
If you could tell me when it'll be done...
If I knew that, I'd play the lotto.
Instead of working with people...
who can't understand why we can't get results when they want them.
Darn it. I'm losing my temper.
While we're on the topic, what's wrong with your captain?
He has serious issues.
What kind of a man has no rules or any sense of pride?
I guess.
He's way too rude...
and does as he pleases in someone else's department.
I thought he was homeless.
I can't stand him being all chummy with the outsider.
I really can't stand him.
- What is it to you... - Hey.
What's your problem?
Let go of me. Let go.
I'll make you eat your words.
- Don't stop me! - Stop her!
You think you're so great?
Blue chicken, white monkey.
1-1-0-0-1-0-0.
SON MIN HO
The similarity between the four victims.
They're all rich and powerful...
who committed crimes that the law did not punish.
CHOI YONG SUK
And...
the biggest con man of all time, Son Min Ho.
Why do I get this bad feeling?
You.
I'm giving it specially just to you.
You're scaring me.
Yes, he really did find the right place.
Gosh, I'm not hiding anything.
Maybe you're suspecting me because that's what you're doing.
Nothing in the file says Choi Yong Suk received treatment,
especially sleep therapy, on the day he died.
So what gave you the idea?
I had made a guess, and I happened to be right.
Do you need to talk to us?
You looked for a while, and then turned away,
so it bothered me.
I'm the head of...
Information Management. I know.
Your name too.
I never forget anyone I meet.
But why can't I remember Superintendent Do?
If we had really met...
Do I have clearance to view Superintendent Do's personnel file?
You know you don't have authority to access our database, right?
I do. I appreciate it very much.
I feel weird saying it's in exchange, but...
Would you do something for me?
If it's something I can do, sure.
I heard Son Min Ho was named as the next victim.
Yes, that's correct.
I'd like you to be cautious.
His life is much more complicated than what is known.
It won't help anyone to create a fuss unnecessarily.
Am I included...
in that "anyone"?
You're not threatening me, are you?
I almost got the wrong idea.
I hope you realize that Mr. Son was among the people...
who called you in.
I thought the police called me in.
Who is Mr. Son that he was able to call for me?
Will you tell me if there's something I don't know?
There's no need.
In that case, I refuse to do that favor.
I'm not asking for a favor.
Son Min Ho...
is one of the people who want this case resolved.
High-ranking officials who want this case resolved.
Among them is Son Min Ho.
And the police's involvement.
You knew...
that something was going to happen to Choi Yong Suk...
after his sleep therapy session.
Then...
maybe I'm the culprit.
If he...
really did know, and it wasn't a guess.
Superintendent Do is the killer.
Get in.
Let's have a chat.
Thank you.
What did you want to...
May I ask what you and Captain talked about last night?
Last night?
Nothing much.
He seemed to know that Choi Yong Suk received sleep therapy...
immediately before the incident, so I asked about that.
How did he know that?
Strange, right?
There was no way for him to know, and yet he did.
But what exactly are we looking for?
He doesn't know who it is, so it isn't in the code.
Hey, I found our victim.
How did he know he was the victim?
What was that?
So? Are you suspecting him right now?
You make guesses at times, and sometimes you're right.
He's good at that.
He'd never hide anything.
Do you like Superintendent Do?
If he wanted to hide something,
he could hide it easily.
You two get along really well.
That's completely different.
There's no reason not to share information because it's uncertain,
and no reason for us not to get along well together.
If that bothers you, it means you can't be purely professional.
That happens if personal feelings are involved.
Feelings... That's not it.
Suspecting our captain causes a problem for the team.
It's only natural to get upset.
He may seem like he's in danger, but...
So you like him.
- Why do you keep saying that? - Because you like him.
I don't think Superintendent Do seems to be in danger.
He seems dangerous.
Stop!
Darn it.
Stop!
What's the rush?
Why did you pop out of nowhere?
Why am I the only one who fell?
Stop whining, and give me the meds.
I'm busy.
Darn it.
He's a cop.
Hey, mister. If you're a cop,
he's a hair designer.
Want a haircut?
Does he look down on people based on their appearance?
Well, that's all you see, so I understand.
I am dressed like a hobo.
Don't you have your ID?
I do.
Where is it?
You...
You rat. I'm going to kill you.
Found it. Here.
See that?
The cop will take these kids.
And you, redhead. What was that? You'll kill me?
A cop should dress like a cop.
How about not being chased?
True. You can't control life.
SAFE STREET FOR WOMEN
What is it?
- What are you doing here? - Who is she?
I'm just walking.
You're not doing well today.
You two...
seem alike.
Do you have trouble sleeping?
You see people in need of drugs all the time.
What? Are her eyes especially black?
Darn it. Fine. When I'm stressed out,
I get obsessive compulsive.
So what?
It gets better quickly. Why must you aggravate me?
Stress? What stress?
Why do you care?
To either make it worse...
or better.
I'm leaving.
Good night.
What do you think?
- What? - Her eyes.
Did you see darkness in her eyes too?
Stress? What stress?
He said I'll get hurt if I annoy him.
So why is he worrying about me?
No.
He said he could make it worse.
What is this?
Weren't you reaching for this?
What? You know each other?
You're such a crooked cop.
Hey.
Get your drugs directly then.
Stop calling me for them.
No. I want to buy them from you.
Do you have money to burn?
It's cheaper if you buy it directly.
Yes. I have money to burn.
So take money from me, and once you have enough...
for your grandma's medical bills, stop it.
What are you talking about?
I'm doing this to buy a sports car.
Okay, I get it. So make me some instant noodles.
Fine.
I'm sorry for touching you that time.
I wasn't trying to sexually harass you.
I'm a cop, and I mistook you for a thief.

031 is Gyeonggi Province.
And 538 is...
Seriously. My personal information is available for all to see,
but I, a cop, can't see the personal information of criminals.

Old Man, I need you to find someone for me.
You asked someone else to find a woman.
Why are you asking me this time?
I knew what she looked like,
but I have no clue what the guy looks like.
You're the best...
at finding people out of nowhere.
That's true, but...
But why me?
I don't like you.
I told you not to come here.
Male, age 34.
Whatever. I don't like men.
Especially 34-year-olds.
He most likely doesn't have a government ID number.
Even if he does, it'll probably not be his.
He may be with a man in his 40s.
But I'm not sure.
He's about 180cm tall, and is fair skinned.
Dark eyebrows and wide eyes.
He has high cheekbones, but a weak jaw.
He likely has a disorder such as OCD...
or paranoia.
I really don't like him.
Hey. Excuse me.
What's your relationship with that girl in the picture?
I'm not trying to make an issue of it now.
It's related to a case I'm investigating,
so I wondered if you knew her well.
Here...
I only saw her here.
Suddenly, I stopped seeing her here,
and then I saw her picture.
I wasn't trying to steal it.
That person...
died. Did you know that?
I'll ring you up.
Have a nice day.
I'll ring you up.
It'll be 1.2 dollars.
Out of two dollars.
Excuse me. Wait.
If you remember anything about her or if there's anything...
I can do to help, call me.
For example, if you were assaulted.
Anyway, anything.
Oh, no. I touched you again. I'm sorry.
He really gets to me.
Is he my type?
I also...
really hate being touched.
But I didn't just now.
Found it.
You don't do anything the deities like,
so why do you pray?
If I were going to do what they like,
why would I pray?
I kiss up because I'm going to do things they hate.
"WHITE NIGHT: NIGHT AND DAY" BY SON MIN HO
"Most think greatness comes from good desires."
"However, looking back at history, great developments and progress..."
"usually resulted from bad intentions."
"If bad intentions can result in good,"
"perhaps the bad intentions were actually good."
"What do we call good, and what do we call evil?"
Is there a deity?
I don't know, but there are things I do know.
There must be a reason why a religion lasted 2,000 years.
There's a reason why you, who was dying,
fell at my feet, a person who creates new IDs and new lives.
Right. There's a reason for everything.

Everything good?
Hey, are you okay?
Hey, kid. Are you okay?
Open your eyes.
- Hey, kid. - Hey.
Hey!
What's wrong?
- Is he okay? - Do you know him?
No.
Hey, kid.
Hey! Who are you?
This is insane.
Wake up.
Hey!
"The sun is shining brightly. I stand alone on an empty road."
"The infallible clock shows 12 o'clock."
"Is it noon or midnight?"
Shall we...
check?
Hey.
You're following me, right?
Why?
- What's up? - Captain.
I'm reading a book that Son Min Ho wrote 29 years ago.
We happened to have a copy at home.
How did I remember that?
Keep it brief.
Are you busy?
- Yes. - At this hour?
This is too long.
I think this is an important key.
But I can't quite grasp it.
Then let's meet in half an hour. I'm at...
Hello? Captain?
Hello?
Are you all right?
It's me. Me. It's me.
- Superintendent Do. Is that you? - Yes.
Watch where you're touching. Is committing a sex offense a habit?
It's because I can't see.
How low. She threw dirt in my face.
Why are you staring at my family picture like that?
I am...
very interested in you.
Don't get cheeky with me.
What are you trying to get out of me while feigning interest in me?
Is it...
noon...
or midnight?
Then I wonder to myself.
Is it noon or midnight?
What...
did you just say?
How do you know that?
Do you want to know?
I'm from...
White Night Village.
THANK YOU, JU SEOK TAE, FOR THE SPECIAL APPEARANCE.
Three people related to White Night Village...
happen to be involved in this case.
But you want me to stop being suspicious?
Do you suspect me again?
I think the solution lies with you.
Search thoroughly. I must prepare for tonight.
Give me the intel related to our captain.
We have 12 minutes left.
The surviving child couldn't resist the impulse to kill...
and began to create these incidents.
Is that child me or you?
I simply want to know if it's noon or midnight, that's all.
