(43R1403)
Hold on. Isn't that him? The black Maxus!
- Yes, that's him! - Wait...
He's just pushing the car ahead of him.
Move!
Hold tight!
Dispatch Team, are you all right?
This is Dispatch Three. We're all okay.
We'll continue to pursue him.
In the end,
I'll have to step in.
The rest of you, stay out of this.
I was going to kill her myself.
I feel bad.
I'm running out of time.
Wait, you're not going to do anything to us, are you?
You woke me up,
so you'll have to pay the price.

(Episode 13)
We found Dong Bang Min.
Saet Byeol! Saet Byeol, wake up!
- She's still alive. - Call an ambulance.
Detective Cho! There's another person!
- She's still alive. - Call an ambulance now!
Did you see anyone get off?
He went into that building.
Let's go.
Director Kang, come out.
This is Dispatch Three.
A man presumed to be Dong Bang Min...
went into a building in Gowol Market.
Be careful.
I'll go to the basement. You two head upstairs.
- That way. - Yes, sir.
Detective Cho, move!
You're fast. I guess you want to live...
when you left your sister to die.
Detective Gu, Detective Park.
Dong Bang Min is attacking Detective Cho.
He needs backup right now.
I'll go!
Detective Cho, Detective Gu is on his way.
Detective Gu is coming? Why?
I guess you can't take me alone.
He heard Director Kang's voice over the radio.
There's definitely something in his ears.
Detective Cho.
The psychoanalyst said everything related to each personality...
could become a trigger. Do you remember that?
Seeing how his personality from the voice file...
is completely different from the personality at the ER,
the sub-personalities seem to have a strong bond.
We can let the main personality know...
what the sub-personalities did.
Eom Seok Gu, Sim Young Seob. We identified you two already.
You created those two personalities...
because you're the reason they were killed. Isn't that right?
I'm not sure.
I have no idea what you're talking about, Detective Cho.
Fine.
I know you were abused as a kid.
But that can't be an excuse for killing innocent people.
You just wanted to exploit innocent kids to kill someone, you scumbag!
"Exploit"? What are you talking about?
Detective Cho.
Those kids were the ones who wanted to kill their parents.
I just offered a helping hand.
Sure.
I finally got it after looking into Sim Young Seob.
Dong Bang Hyeon Yup, who became obsessed with a bizarre deity,
must've made you go insane.
Accept the personalities that were used for murders...
if you want to be punished as a human, not a monster.
Detective Cho.
I think Dong Bang Min's real personality is responding.
And remember this.
No matter how much you deny it,
you're the one who did everything.
You did everything, you jerk!
Get up, you scum.
Get up!
Get up.
I said, get up!
You don't even know anything.
If it hadn't been for us,
Dong Bang Min would have killed himself long ago. Get it?
This is Dispatch Two!
Dong Bang Min is running away in the alley behind Gowol Market.
Dispatch Team and patrol officers,
block off the alleys around Gowol Market...
and track him down!
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
And I secured the object he was wearing in his ears.
It looks like a hearing aid.
I'll pass it on to the Dispatch Team.
- Is he gone? - I don't see him.
Give this to the Dispatch Team.
Yes, sir.
Let's go this way.
Captain Chun, find out if there are any CCTVs...
- behind Gowol Market. - Yes, ma'am.
(CCTV Search)
Director Kang, there is one CCTV...
at the end of the market alley.
Wait, I think that's Dong Bang Min.
This is the center. I'm announcing to everyone.
The serial killer Dong Bang Min attempted an abduction,
then attacked a police officer in Gowol Market.
He is now running towards the market alley.
(Fish Market Building)
(One Way, Entrance)
It's an extremely small digital hearing aid...
that goes all the way into your eardrum.
I've never seen the name before. What is this?
Agent Han, I'll send you a picture.
- Look into this hearing aid. - Yes, ma'am.
Why did he go this far...
to imitate me?
Director Kang, over there.
This is the center. Dong Bang Min went into the fish market building.
- The fish market building? - That way!
(Fish Market Building, One Way, Entrance)
Please save me!
Shut it!
This is Dispatch Two. Dong Bang Min is holding someone hostage.
Let her go. Now.
Don't come any closer.
Detective Cho.
What should I do? I think...
I killed people.
Stop the nonsense, you psycho. Let her go.
- Now! - Don't come closer!
Please...
I might stab her.
Please don't come any closer.
Dong Bang Min is crying out for sure.
But something is off.
I'll count to three.
One.
Two!
You jerk. Get up!
Detective Cho.
You jerk.
Detective Cho!
Please... Just kill me.
Knowing that I killed people...
is too horrible.
Detective Cho, don't do it. Stop!
Detective Cho!
Detective Cho.
Detective Cho, don't.
Detective Cho, let's arrest him first.
After that,
you can decide what you want to do with him. Okay?
Just shoot.
A scum like me!
Just shoot me!
Detective Cho.
If you become a wreck because of your revenge,
it'll make your mother and Seung Ah...
even sadder.
You did well.
Good job.
Dong Bang Min! You're under arrest for the murder of a family...
and attempted murder.
You have the right to a lawyer. You have the right to remain silent.
And you will have a chance to defend yourself.
This is Dispatch One. We have arrested Dong Bang Min.
We'll get back as soon as the scene is settled.
What? Dong Bang Min?
You caught him as he showed signs of Polypersonal Delusion Disorder?
Yes. I'll tell you in detail when I get back,
but we saw Dong Bang Min's personalities with our own eyes.
Got it. Good job, Captain Park.
The culprit behind the murder of the family in Sanggae-dong...
is Dong Bang Min.
He killed Gong Su Ji as well.
He tried to run away from the Golden Time Team...
but was caught near Gowol Market.
As we prepare for the interrogation,
get the victims' testimonies from the hospital.
Yes, sir.
Director, this is bad.
It seems like someone tipped the arrest off.
Reporters already found out and are coming to the scene.
What?
Do you really believe what Min says?
We'll get Min's testimony directly from our end.
Call a lawyer or whatever suits you.
What are you even going to investigate...
based on what a sleepwalker says?
There is no stronger evidence than a confession.
Should I send someone over to you?
Or would you like to come here yourself?
Tell me how you'd like to proceed.
This is the best I can do for you.
Listen.
I even took in your daughter.
How dare you!
Mi Yeon is not thinking straight right now...
because of her sick daughter,
but she'll pull herself together soon enough.
All right.
I'll go with my lawyer.
I heard the news.
You caught Dong Bang Min in the act.
Close the case with your best effort.
Until he's transferred to the Regional Unit,
I'll support you in every way I can.
I apologize for not trusting you until now.
Actually, last time...
I was indebted to the village elder...
for my husband's resort business.
Director Kang, you said...
crimes can be hidden because we keep silent...
about family matters.
I'm prepared to be penalized,
so don't worry and do it your way.
Thank you for telling me honestly.
I'll do my best.
The culprit behind the murder of the family in Sanggae-dong...
that occurred on the 25th has been arrested.
He has just entered the Vimo Provincial Police Agency.
The culprit's surname is Dong Bang,
the CEO of a world-renowned special effect makeup studio.
Dong Bang is known to have Polypersonal Delusion Disorder,
and he claims that his other personalities...
committed the murders.
Thank you for your hard work.
What's important is his testimony.
He's not someone to be caught so easily.
I've also been thinking that his voice...
is somewhat different from when he was in the hospital.
Maybe he was nervous in the hospital,
so it sounded like his larynx was tense.
But he sounded totally different just now.
Let's go.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
This is Han Si Young, a psychoanalyst.
I hear you already know each other.
Yes. You're here.
I'm Han Si Young.
Crimes related to Polypersonal Delusion Disorder aren't common.
I saw the video already,
but I'll fill you in after talking to him.
Don't be like this.
Contact the station that investigated the first case.
Let's be honest.
Shouldn't the mainland have a go first?
Why are you so invested in this, Director Yang?
Chae Young.
Sorry. I mean Lawyer Ok Chae Young.
After your parents died,
you grew up in Sonang Village, so I get why you're so loyal.
But Min committed over two murders...
and attempted murders on this island alone.
Let's not waste our energy.
Young Master.
If you don't remember, don't admit to it.
You could've been coerced into giving a false confession.
No.
The memories are slowly coming back.
I'll pay for my crimes.
Mr. Dong Bang Min.
Do you admit that you have psychological issues?
Don't answer.
I do.
Please...
Lock me up somewhere and treat me.
The scant memories hurt too much. I'd rather...
I'd rather forget everything.
I can help you if you answer honestly.
Have you felt more than two other identities...
or personalities within you?
Yes.
I saw it for sure today.
When you remember the traumatic incidents,
when do you black out?
Well...
I keep remembering those times and...
I'm sorry.
Something is definitely not right. Why is he like this?
I'm sorry.
I'll need a thorough test to be sure,
but he definitely has Polypersonal Delusion Disorder.
Fine, then.
Explain what you did in chronological order.
Start with September 2020.
Wait, I'm sorry.
So many memories are...
flooding back.
I'm confused.
Commissioner General Kam.
I'd like to confirm something.
Director Yang. Let Detective Cho talk to the suspect.
Detective Cho.
Don't get worked up and ask him calmly.
Look at what you did.
- I can't look. - No.
You must look. Look at it.
Why did you do this to my innocent sister?
Tell me.
- Tell me, you punk! - What are you doing?
- Tell me. - Stop it, Detective Cho!
Do you want to be excluded from this investigation?
I would've been jealous that she had family to rely on.
All the family I had...
was a grandfather who abused me.
What? You were jealous?
I'm sorry, Detective Cho.
I'm sorry.
You're crying?
Do you think crying is enough after what you did to my sister?
You scumbag.
You should've died earlier tonight.
Scum like you don't deserve to be sentenced in court!
- Get him out of here! - Darn you!
Get him out of here now!
- Stop it. - Let go.
Do you want to be sued for assault?
I will kill you.
I will kill you myself.
I should get a warrant for treatment and custody...
and have my client put in a closed ward.
He'll be too scared to give a statement now.
Director Yang. Wrap things up for now...
and put him in lock-up.
I will do something about tonight's assault.
Dong Bang Min.
You tried so hard to imitate me.
Now I know one thing for sure.
We...
met before, haven't we?
Why create a personality like me,
and why did you kill in my likeness?
Tell me right now. Tell me!
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I was abused as a child.
I guess that's it.
Young Master. Let's go.
Don't fall for her tricks.
Dong Bang Min...
Dong Bang Min!
That's enough.
You killed a family...
and you remembered doing so?
No, Grandpa.
It wasn't me. Another personality inside me did it.
Please help me.
Hey, Jae Geun.
You know I helped your dad in Sonang Village, don't you?
Give us five minutes.
"Another personality"?
Whatever the case,
you did everything, didn't you?
And I heard that you said I killed those people.
How dare you tell such lies?
Tell the police that...
it's all a lie. Do it now.
It's not a lie.
You know better than anyone.
If you keep doing this,
it's over between us.
Now I'm sure of it.
Right now, he's not Dong Bang Min.
- He's someone we don't know. - What do you mean?
When he saw the victims' photos,
I'm not sure if it was his hormones, but the look in his eyes changed.
That means he knows what happened,
and he feels no guilt whatsoever.
Scum like you don't deserve to be sentenced in court!
- Get him out of here! - Darn you!
Get him out of here now!
- Stop it. - Let go.
He didn't make a unique sound like the other personalities.
He was enjoying the situation.
Are you saying a new personality was impersonating Dong Bang Min?
No.
There's a good chance...
that's the original personality.
You want to get off scot-free...
after dumping it all on me?
You killed those people.
You...
still haven't come to your senses.
Why?
Should I talk more about your dirty deeds?
Which ones?
How you toyed with the idiots of Sonang Village...
and beat them to death if things didn't go your way?
Or how you abused my father, your adopted son,
every single day until he died?
Or how you molested my mother and got her...
pregnant with me?
Father.
I never knew I had so many siblings there.
When you killed my mom and dad...
No.
When you beat that man and woman to death in front of me...
I realized I had to pretend to submit to you, or I'd die too.
That was why I created those stupid personalities that you liked.
Why?
Because if I let you kill me,
I couldn't judge this sewage of a world.
So get me moved to a hospital...
before I expose you.
Did you understand what I said,
Father?
So get me moved to a hospital...
before I expose you.
Did you understand what I said,
Father?
He's not like the Circus Man, who is always angry.
He's relaxed and enjoys the murders.
He knew what the other personalities had been doing.
True. Even if we arrest him now,
he'll act like the kind Dong Bang Min.
He'll be declared incompetent and get five years at most.
Hi, Agent Han.
Director Kang.
I got the hearing aid analysis from NFS.
The bandwidth is insanely broad.
It has 72 channels too.
If most people listen to 8,000Hz,
this device lets you hear beyond 20,000Hz.
Regular hearing aids don't even compare.
It's comparable to equipment used by American Special Forces.
Did you look into the "FR" written on the shell?
I searched everywhere I could,
and there's no hearing aid by that name.
Do whatever you can to find out what FR could mean.
Yes, ma'am.
Also, I only found it now because of his VPN.
Dong Bang Min ordered some suspicious items...
from SFX World, a special effects shop.
Telesis, a silicone adhesive.
Anti-forgery PVC film.
And a white wig and beard.
A white wig?
- Okay. Thanks. - Okay.
Dong Bang Min must plan to escape disguised as an old man.
Director Kang.
Look. Dong Bang Hyeon Yup...
took something from a prayer room and burned it, so I checked,
and it was Dong Bang Min's DNA test and a record of his development.
Take a look.
He isn't a match with his father, Dong Bang Nam Joon.
He was a match with Dong Bang Hyeon Yup.
What was that?
Are you saying Dong Bang Min isn't his grandson,
but his son?
That's not all.
This is a doctor's evaluation of Dong Bang Min...
when he was seven years old.
(Vision - good, Hearing - good)
(Shows signs of sleepwalking, but is good overall otherwise.)
(High possibility of having a personality disorder.)
It says there's a high possibility that he has a personality disorder.
If his original personality has a personality disorder,
his reaction to that photo earlier is only natural.
It's similar to Team Leader Do and Kaneki.
Detective Park. When he was a child, Dong Bang Min received...
a doctor's evaluation saying he may have a personality disorder.
Find any documents related to that. And his father had adopted him.
Look for stuff on that as well.
You're an insignificant and dumb human, but you woke me.
Thus, you must be punished.
Please. Please get me out of here.
I'm scared.
Don't be afraid.
Soon,
you will disappear too.
How dare you wake me?
Now you need to pay for interrupting us.
Don't lie to me.
You attacked me earlier as a different personality.
Eom Seok Gu.
With Director Kang's personality that lures kids with her hearing...
and the mastermind. A total of three personalities!
The three of you go around killing families.
Staying together over something so trivial.
Don't you think that's disgusting?
You must've tried to escape at the risk of losing your life.
Please don't kill me.
Please.
Bum Tae!
No!
Stay back!
Did I really...
No.
You're not the real Dong Bang Min, so don't worry.
You're just one of the personalities that I created.
You're a fake.
Who are you?
You.
You fool.
Detective Park. How are Saet Byeol and Ms. Ko?
Saet Byeol woke up once the anesthesia wore off.
But Ms. Ko...
Her surgery went well,
but they say they'll have to wait and see.
Just a minute.
Help me.
Ms. Ko. Calm down.
It's okay. You're in a hospital.
Dong Bang Min was arrested, so you can rest assured.
You mean it? Was he really arrested?
I'll tell you everything about that monster, Dong Bang Min.
I'll also tell you about the old man who claims to be his grandpa.
Director Kang, I think you need to come over.
Okay, I'll be right there.
We need to head to the hospital.
Detective Shim, please look more into Dong Bang Min with Agent Han.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's go.
It wasn't Young Master.
The devil...
He was the devil himself.
I've always wondered...
if you could foresee your own future if you have divine powers.
Don't worry.
I'll finish you off later.
He said he'll finish you off later?
Yes.
I was...
I was so scared.
Everything will be okay.
Ms. Ko. You're safe now.
Shall we take a break if this is too hard for you?
No.
I'll tell you everything now.
I shouldn't have come to this village in the first place.
I was on the run because I committed fraud.
I only went to Sonang Village because they said...
the village accepts people who have nowhere else to go.
- Grandpa. - Grandpa.
My goodness.
My dear princesses.
- There, there. - Did you have lunch?
- Did you? - Of course.
- You're here. - Hello.
Hello.
Let me introduce someone new.
This lady over here...
will look after your health,
listen to your concerns and pain,
and help nourish your minds.
Therefore,
I'll take her in as the mother figure of this village.
- My, it's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- We welcome you. - Thank you for coming.
Sonang Village served a false deity...
and mercilessly deceived...
the abandoned and heartbroken people.
- Mr. Park Min Su. - Yes.
- Mr. Han Dong Chul. - Thank you.
- Everyone got the money, right? - Yes!
- Let's applaud! - Thank you!
- Good work. - Thank you!
Now, please return your bank books.
(Savings account bank book)
Let's work hard to improve our village...
this month as well. Applaud!
- All right! - Yes, let's work hard!
Say thank you to our village elder.
He extorted money out of them, saying he'll make them richer.
Write it down honestly.
(Sonang Village Personal Profile)
(I was in charge of accounting, so I embezzled money from...)
(I abandoned the dog I was raising because I got sick of it.)
You can relax.
(First year of menstruation: 2004, Last menstrual cycle: October 19)
When I had lost my shamanistic powers,
he made me manipulate people, saying I'm their mother figure.
It will bring you luck.
He made them drink the Vimo plant water,
saying it's a tonic bestowed on them by the deity.
He made the doubtful ones drink it to brainwash them.
What's even more horrifying...
is that the old man pretended to be the deity...
and raped the girls...
in order to have more children.
Among the kids who were born that way,
the smartest one was Young Master...
It was Dong Bang Min.
Whenever someone tried to disclose it,
he killed them without anyone knowing.
The people of Sonang Village were basically his slaves,
not his family.
Does that tattoo on your arm...
mean that you belong to Sonang Village?
It's the tattoo given to the weakest people...
even among the people in Sonang Village.
He spewed nonsense, saying we were the chosen ones.
The loners...
who had no one to help them no matter what happened to them.
Those who were desperate...
for protection and family.
Can you testify against him...
as a witness in court later?
I will.
I hid another ledger...
in the store I frequent.
I thought I'd need a backup plan for myself.
You did well.
Tell Captain Park to secure the ledger Ms. Ko mentioned...
with Detective Gu.
And you should head back to the center.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, Director Yang.
Already?
They're transferring Dong Bang Min to a psychiatric hospital right now.
This is better for us. Let's get started right away.
Director Yang, I have something to tell you.
He's allowed only one visitation per day,
and I'll see him just once a day.
For the time being, I'll inject a sedative, so don't worry.
Also, there's a security gate,
so he'll never be able to escape from here.
That's great.
- Please take good care of him. - Sure. This way.
This is the room.
You need a card for this too?
Yes. Please come inside.
(Medicine)
I need to check that you've swallowed the pill.
I won't be waiting.
Yes, Director Kang.
Dong Bang Min was just admitted to his room.
We also moved all the other patients to other floors.
We'll head to Sonang Village and be on standby...
until an arrest warrant is issued.
Yes, ma'am.
(Vimo Psychiatric Hospital)
Detective Gu will head to Sonang Village.
(Captain Park Joong Ki)
Yes, Captain Park.
Director Kang, we found the ledger Ms. Ko mentioned.
I think this is good enough for a search and seizure warrant.
Good work.
All we need is for Detective Shim to do his job right.
Let's trust him.
(The door will open in ten minutes.)
The door will open in ten minutes.
Your old man wants you to leave Korea as soon as possible...
so that he can live. He gave me money.
It's up to you whether you come out or not,
but the door won't stay open for long.
The door will open in ten minutes.
Your old man wants you to leave Korea as soon as possible...
so that he can live. He gave me money.
It's up to you whether you come out or not,
but the door won't stay open for long.
How does it feel to hide there?
I kept bothering you,
so you hid in a hospital?
Director Kang.
I just want to be treated.
You have no time to relax.
Your Director Kang personality emailed me again.
She installed a camera in your basement.
She told me that the footage from that camera will show...
you were aware of the other personalities.
I'm at your home with the detectives to find that camera.
You're done for, Dong Bang Min.
Your true personality,
I will broadcast it for the world to see.
There must be another personality I don't know about.
I guess you didn't know.
But then, you're a nasty murderer who hides behind fake personalities,
because you're afraid of your grandfather.
You'd never have imagined that...
the Director Kang personality who used a hearing aid to copy me...
would betray you to save people.
It's fortunate that...
I have a personality that wants to save others.
I know you don't mean that.
I can tell from your breathing.
I told you.
You took on fake personalities to kill people.
I said I will catch you.
Just wait.
You'll spend your life in prison and die the most miserable death.
This is Dispatch Three. She hung up. Brief me.
The security here is shut down.
I'll unlock his room door and steel gate now.
Okay. Stay safe.
Director Kang, that stupid...
Chad. Watch the entrance once Detective Shim exits.
That's the only way he can leave from.
- Wait, then tail him. - Yes, Cap.
This is Director Kang. Where is our backup?
This is Team One. We're almost there.
You want me to come out?
(Dong Bang Min, Vimo Psychiatric Hospital)
(Ward 2 Nurse's Station)
(Vimo Psychiatric Hospital)
Detective Cho. The power just went out.
What's going on?
Detective Cho.
I hear a strong gust of wind from that window.
This is Dispatch Four. Dong Bang Min jumped out a window.
He's in the alley behind the hospital.
I'll go this way. You go that way.
Okay.
Detective Chad. Wake up. Chad!
This is Dispatch Four. Director Kang.
In the alley behind the hospital, through the underpass,
Detective Chad is down...
Detective Shim.
This is Director Kang.
I'm in an alley behind Vimo Psychiatric Hospital.
I think something happened to Chad and Detective Shim.
Send help...
and send backup to the alley.
(Doctor's Note)
(Possible personality disorder diagnosed in 1992.)
(Traumatized by recent kidnapping, admission recommended.)
Director Kang.
I looked into Dong Bang Min.
He was admitted to F Children's Hospital when he was 12.
What's weird is, I can't find anything about the hospital.
It was shut down...
when it was found out they operated without a license.
I think even the doctor's license was fake.
F Children's Hospital?
Why does it sound so familiar?
You pretended to be a spy to catch me?
Why would you risk your life to do something so pointless?
Were you that bored?
You talk too much.
Give up.
You'll never...
get off this island!
Why do humans have a distinct smell when they're afraid?
Now.
Beg me for your life.
You never know. I might let you live.
Stop talking nonsense, you scum!
I'll never beg for my life to jerks like you.
Hey.
I don't care how you were born,
but if you're using that as an excuse to do this,
that means you are...
just a scumbag who can't be saved.
No, I wouldn't say I'm a scumbag.
All right.
Beg me for mercy.
You never know.
Did you block your ears off with something?
I said I'll never beg for my life...
to jerks like you!
Are you having fun?
Does this excite you?
Figures. It runs in your blood.
I mean the blood of Dong Bang Hyeon Yup...
that runs in your body.
You must think that your teammates will come and save you...
if you stall for time.
No, you'll never be able to catch me.
I am...
a different being from you.
Detective Shim!
Kwon Joo, you have such pretty ears.
That must be why you can hear special sounds from people.
If I say that I want your ears,
will you give them to me?
(1:14am, Detective Shim is attacked.)
(Voice 4)
We have a code zero.
Suspect Dong Bang Min just escaped from Vimo Psychiatric Hospital.
We'll announce him as the most wanted on the entire island.
Don't you dare come any closer. Let's protect Vimo Island!
You think Circus Pierrot belongs to him?
- Yes, I'm sure of it. - Isn't this Director Kang?
It's an accurate diagnosis of my ears.
What's the point of having those ears?
They only make your life hard.
Kwon Joo, you can put everything down now.
I'll give you my blessing, and you only need to accept it.
