"February 10th" "What a day to be at a bloody dump." "Should have worn my boots." "The forensic team?" "I called them, they're on their way." "What the...?" "It's pouring down." "What is it?" "Took your time." "Introduce yourself." "Yes, sir!" "I'm Kang Tae Hyun." "We're on our way, goddammit." "Let's go." "Let's do a good job together." "We have to do an autopsy but it doesn't look like a mere rape and murder." "It's been done nice and cool." "You're not scared?" "I am." "This is my first time." "After the murder, he must have dumped her here." "He sure picked a dirty spot." "No, he picked the right spot." "Kang!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Screwing around on your first day?" "He's not the only one working..." "We have to at least look, you asshole." "Damn it." "She cut the umbilical cord with her own teeth." "No need to use a microscope for that." "She gave birth by herself?" "Could be..." "Shit." "Either you use a condom, or you have the baby." "Cause of death?" "Probably loss of blood but we won't knowfor sure until we've run more tests." "The body decomposed too quickly." "We can't determine when she died." "February 14th" "We are now at the last stop." "Did she drink and fall asleep?" "Hey!" "Wake up!" "Move!" "Where is it?" "Right here." "You're late...again." "Shit!" "I'm sorry." "You woke me up so that I could have a look at this?" "Did you find anything?" "Find anything?" "!" "Thousands of people take the bus every day." "Take yourself, for example." "Where were you when this happened?" "Oh my..." "The victim was strangled from behind with a string." "This means that the victim didn't knowthe killer." "Otherwise, she would have recognized him when he sat down behind her." "So, it was not the result of a grudge." "Exactly." "The murder was not planned in advance." "The killer's motive is still not known." "What about the girl we found at the dump?" "A close examination proved that the embryo was extracted by force." "The blood on the umbilical cord did not match that of the victim." "The same M.O. as Shin Hyun's first two murders." "Shin Hyun gave himself up 10 months ago after having committed 6 murders." "First, a pregnant high school student." "Then, a pregnant, single woman close to her due date." "Could it be pregnancy that the victims all have in common?" "Yes." "The nextvictim was a lesbian." "He cut off her ear after the murder." "Shin Hyun is in prison at the moment." "And still, the same type of murders are occurring..." "I think it's time we paid Shin Hyun a visit." "We have to go now." "Chu Kyung-sook" ""Shin Hyun..." "Age, 22."" ""Killed six women."" ""The sixth victim was put into a bag."" ""He brought it to the police station and confessed."" "Bastard!" "He's a celebrity now." "Sit!" "It's your prerogative." "I guess I should introduce myself." "I'm Detective Kang." "How does it feel to be getting all this attention?" "Can you hear the voice?" "One simple question:" "Who the fuck is it?" "From the heart or the soul, to the body..." "An echoing sound from the body to the soul..." "Have you ever experienced an echoing abyss?" "Just answer the questions before I kill you!" "You haven't heard what the pictures mean yet." "I still hear restless sounds of spirits." "Fury against foolish people who infringed upon lives like a person's possessions." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "The magnificence in the spot of redemption at the borderline between life and death." "Open your ears to what they say and feel the flow." "And If you don't feel the message echoing lt will be buried In an abyss." "Have you ever thought about what this person was thinking as the blood spread?" "Detective Kang, when you face the abyss..." "Don't forget that you are facing yourself, too." "And when you fight a monster like me..." "Be careful not to turn into a monster yourself." "You crazy son of a bitch!" "That scar..." "I hope this case continues..." "Hope to see you soon!" "You sick bastard." "Shit." "By the way..." "Please give my regards to Detective Kim." "She's probably sad because of Detective Han." "It's a shame what happened to Han." "Honestly, those investigating the murders..." "No wonder they all got mental disorders." "What about Shin Hyun?" "Hyun had nightmares in which his legs and arms were cut off, soaking in blood." "Killing women because of God's calling made his uneasiness and nightmares go away." "He's not in a place where he can kill women so his uneasiness and nightmares have returned." "Did you say you were Detective Kang?" "Tell me one thing:" "Could Hyun have hired someone to kill these people in his stead?" "Are there any files on Shin Hyun?" "A doctor cannot reveal information about patients." "Dr Chu..." "We need information in order to protect future victims." "Won't you please cooperate with us?" "My patient is more important than some victim that I don't know." "That bastard has hired someone." "No need to investigate further." "We need to subpoena him." "That's the fastest way." "The copycat takes precedence." "What?" "Are you deaf?" "Whether someone copied him, or he hired someone we still have to catch the killer." "Why are you ignoring the true murderer?" "It's a case where waiting is crucial." "This isn't it." "Shit!" "Don't you know that you and I are the same rank?" "Yup!" "At the last tunnel, he committed the murder." "Then he disappeared." "Yes." "It's a one-kilometre radius." "There has to be something here." "Here's something!" "Yes." "These two women had medical examinations at our hospital." "They both seemed like unmarried mothers." "But it's better for everyone involved not to ask such questions, so I didn't." "Huh Young-Taek..." "He quit about a month ago." "Why did he quit?" "He stole hospital equipment." "Things like surgical knives." "He has a criminal record." "A criminal record?" "February 28th" "Why aren't you coming in?" "Since you're taking full responsibility..." "Mi Yun's not just anyone." "She's a higher rank than I am - at that age!" "As an inspector, she was awesome." "But when you get to know her you can't help feeling sorry for her." "She came to us after Han committed suicide." "Did they know each other?" "They were engaged." "Han was in shock because of Shin Hyun." "I should have helped him when he lost it." "He caught Shin by himself, but he let him go." "Shin killed six people, and then he confessed." "Young-Taek!" "You son of a bitch!" "He's a tough guy." "He was shot twice in the chest, and he's still breathing." "You can't commit a murder like that and not be cold-hearted." "What is it?" "He and Shin Hyun were in the same prison." "Huh Young-Taek sends his regards." "He was a really good kid." "If he hadn't met a certain someone..." "I see you're still locking yourself up." "How can you say such a thing?" "The earring is pretty, but it smells of blood." "That girl from a year back also had on an earring." "But it hasn't been found yet." "Attachment leads us quickly to the heart of the abyss." "But you can never get near the essence of it." "Have you ever thought about the blood that runs through you?" "What?" "Dirty blood that you want to wash off, but you can't." "Blood that transfers to me from a dirty body and an immoral soul." "We can't go near the blue heavens..." "We can never go to where innocent souls live." ""We?"" "I'm just smelling the blood." "The smell you brought before you opened the door is that of very dirty blood." "Young-Taek is not conscious." "But the fingerprints from the bus murder and the blood mark on the high school girl's umbilical cord match." "Evidence from the three murder cases have been prepared." "The fact that he copied Shin Hyun's M.O. and the fact that they were in the same prison makes you wonder." "And the motive is still not clear." "Was this victim a lesbian?" "Yes." "Even though he was being chased he still copied Shin Hyun's M.O." "Young-Taek and Shin Hyun were in the same prison and he copied Shin Hyun's M.O. so Shin Hyun could've hired him." "Detective Kim..." "The investigations showed that because they strictly regulate condemned criminals" "Shin Hyun and Young-Taek could not have met." "No!" "That bastard knew Young-Taek!" "He said so himself!" "Shin Hyun knew Huh Young-Taek?" "So what?" "The murder took place on Shin Hyun's initiative." "We have to get a subpoena and nail that bastard!" "Shin Hyun got the death penalty at the first trial." "But he never appealed." "He's going to die soon." "What's the point of giving him another death penalty?" "If Shin Hyun knows Young-Taek, then it's a different story." "Shin Hyun committed six murders." "Which means that there are three murders left." "A third Huh Young-Taek can turn up." "In his case, the evidence is clear and the witnesses reliable." "There's nothing we can do." "Sergeant Lee..." "Consider this a copycat killing by a mentally unstable man." "Anything else?" "Yes." "Bae Kil-Soo." "He was supposed to testify against Yongman, but he disappeared." "I quit." "Are you insane?" "I'd rather quit than do nothing." "You, come out here!" "Let go!" "What's wrong with you?" "Park, are detectives smarter than criminals?" "No..." "If you're that smart, why not become a judge or a lawyer instead?" "Why are stupid people so complicated?" "Kang!" "Have a drink and forget everything." "Cheers!" "Fucking smart serial killers..." "Fucking dumb detectives!" "If you ain't got the brains, you gotta have the balls to catch them." "Shit." "The fucking smart woman's here." "Detective Kim is also here." "We'll have another rally." "Miss!" "Give us another bottle." "It's not a rally but a farewell party." "Hey, Kang!" "Stop it." "Let's just forget about this case for a while." "Are you sure you're not just running away?" "I'm not running away." "I'm just taking a detour." "Keeping the case in my mind and looking at it from a distance." "Although, it would be better if we were wrong." "He's not the only murderer in Korea." "There are thousands of killers out there waiting for us." "You know something...?" "You're meaner than I thought." "Yeah, I'm mean." "But we won't solve the case by being emotional like you." "You're right." "We have to control our feelings." "Or we'll go absolutely insane, like someone we know..." "What's wrong with you guys?" "Fucking son of a bitch." "Shit!" "I'll take care of it." "A woman who's lost her virginity doesn't deserve to get married." "That's why he cut off the fourth victim's ring finger." "I see you haven't found the link between Shin Hyun and this murder." "Why do you think he copied the murders of Shin Hyun?" "If you're curious about something, go visit Young-Taek in the hospital." "Yes, this is Kang." "Where?" "Okay." "Another case?" "Go." "If this case is solved, then there's no reason for us to meet again." "Although you are Shin Hyun's doctor records showtoo frequentvisitation." "If this case was re-opened, you'd be a prime suspect." "Bloody Kang, why's he late?" "If we wait too long, Bae Kil-Soo will notice it." "Standby at G3 zone!" "Monitor the situation carefully!" "That bastard..." "What the fuck?" "Scared the hell out of me!" "Come with me..." "This seems like the right floor." "The trail stops here." "Where the hell did it go?" "Did you call forensics?" "Keep looking until they get here." "Did he just fly away, or what?" "Shit..." "The victim had no ties with Huh Young-Taek." "The killer used Shin Hyun's methods." "Shin Hyun's victim had two abortions before she got married." "He thought that she didn't deserve to wear a wedding ring." "So he cut off her left ring finger." "The same crime repeating itself..." "What about the shoe print at the crime scene?" "Men's shoe, size 7 "." "The person probably weighs about 70 kilos." "What about Shin Hyun's next murder?" "He wanted to show that life is sacred so he murdered an abortion doctor and took out her uterus." "A cruel murder for the sake of life itself." "Is Shin Hyun inspiring someone else to...?" "Shin Hyun's lastvictim was a woman in her fifties." "We still don't know who she is." "Shin Hyun refuses to talk about this victim." "She's dead drunk." "Calm down!" "Who the hell are you?" "What the fuck are you doing?" "Are you this bitch's boyfriend?" "Take her away." "Fucking asshole!" "Who are you calling a bitch?" "I...don't know anything." "I'm so busy hiding from Yongman's men." "How could I murder anyone?" "You fucking, stupid asshole!" "Who said anything about you killing her?" "I told you to tell me if you ever saw or heard anything strange when the murder took place." "Strange?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Think hard!" "How would I ever find the time to think hard?" "Shit..." "Are you pulling my leg?" "I told you, I haven't the slightest idea!" "Come on!" "Hit me 30 more times!" "Start counting now." "Stop it, and hand him over for prosecution." "Here's the second autopsy report." "But..." "But what?" "This victim is different from the others." "She was a virgin." "Shin Hyun's first trial involved five sessions." "There were 37 people who attended all five sessions and Shin Hyun's followers ought to be among those 37 people." "If we exclude reporters and investigators..." "Han Jung-Woo" "Choi Young Jin?" "This is the bastard." "Choi Young Jin." "Age, 31 ." "Abstract painter and former college lecturer." "He was convicted of sexually harassing his female students." "He's also Shin Hyun's college upperclassman." "According to Detective Kang, he was at the scene of the fourth crime." "Menstruation normally occurs every 28 days." "Given the body's decomposed state, the first murder seems to have occurred about 28 days prior to the third murder." "Shin Hyun's first, third, and fifth murder also took place every 28 days." "Exactly." "Murders one, three, and five occurred every 28 days." "But the "even-numbered" murders were highly irregular." "Those three days in the middle of the cycle..." "Most women ovulate for 2 to 3 days two weeks after menstruation." "The even-numbered murders occurred during the ovulation period." "A single mother, an abortion..." "All these cases have pregnancy in common..." "That explains the ten-month period!" "That's the time it takes for a baby to be born into this world." "Shin Hyun was waiting for exactly ten months." "What you did to Huh Young-Taek..." "Did you do that to anyone else?" "Who are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb." "It's foolish to think that you know something that you don't." "Shut the fuck up, you prick!" "You must be happy to see your plan going so smoothly." "That expression of yours is exactly the same..." "That's the look of joy that children get when they recklessly twist a chick's neck." "You should knowthat all facial expressions have hidden meanings." "People who try hard to hide something..." "People who treat life as a possession and go about trying to hide their crime..." "Are you referring to yourself?" "Obviously, you have no sense of other dimensions." "Dimensions?" "You're just a murderer waiting to die." "You have such a superficial take on everything." "Listen to the cry of the abyss." "If you fail to take heed you'll never be able to see beyond the six corpses." "Are you saying that what you did is different from what children do?" "Children do things of their own accord." "They are not cowards like you, using other people..." "Coward?" "Death is the only salvation for those who abandon life and for life that is abandoned." "You, too, will soon understand." "Let's stop." "I don't have time to listen to any more of your bullshit." "You're stronger than I thought." "You ought to hate me for what I did to Detective Han." "Hiding behind coldness and harsh words won't heal your wounds." "Is the man who left his love behind still holding on to you?" "Do you really believe that you can be free?" "Han Jung-Woo..." "What pushed him to his death?" "What problems did he have that he could not solve?" "What pain did he carry with him?" "Why couldn't I help him?" "Not even you could have saved him." "He was only human - weak and helpless..." "You probably won't make the same mistakes as he did." "Time's up." "I have to go." "Some day, we might be able to look at the blue sky together." "It's been fun." "A long time ago, I came here with my mother, whom I called my sister." "Why do you think I called her that?" "So that we could make a living." "But I didn't understand at the time..." "The world's a crazy place, isn't it?" "Every night, I watched my mother with a different man." "I grew up among the women of the night." "I called them "sis" so that I could tell them apart from my mother." "I used to go for walks with my mother on this beach..." "Sometimes she would carry me on her back..." "Where is she now?" "Dead!" "She is only real to me on that beach..." "March 28th" "Yes..." "Okay." "I see." "Have you forgotten that today is the day?" "Choi Young Jin was diagnosed as mentally ill." "He was treated by Dr Chu during his probation." "Chu Kyung-sook!" "I knew it!" "That bitch..." "Let's question her right away and find out Choi Young Jin's whereabouts." "Not today." "Let's just keep an eye on her." "She won't cooperate with us." "Should we just watch her?" "When we knowthat someone is going to be murdered today?" "What the..." "Get out!" "Open the bloody door!" "This is the police." "When serial killers get older they become angry over their past abuse." "They find targets to release their anger on." "In most cases, they turn to women to vent their hate and to showtheir strength." "That's all for today." "See you next week." "Take it easy." "It's me" " Kim!" "It's me" " Kim." "It's warm and cosy..." "Was it cosy before you came into this world?" "Why?" "Tell me what you see." "It's okay." "Tell me." "No..." "No, don't do that." "It hurts." "If you tell me, the pain will go away." "Tell me what you see." "Something shiny...metallic is being pressed against my head." "No." "Stop it!" "Please?" "It hurts!" "Mother!" "If you kill me, you will die, too." "Kill whom?" "You're going to kill me!" "If you kill me, you will also die." "You're going to kill me!" "Forgive me, mother." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry..." "The chances of an embryo surviving an abortion is less than 3%." "Shin Hyun was born under those circumstances." "And the memory of the attack that he felt in the womb controlled his subconscious." "His aggressive actions caused by his hatred towards women originates from the horror that he felt while still unborn." "The order came suddenly." "Considering what happened to Dr Chu and all the commotion that followed these serial murders they felt that they had to act before things got worse." "What was he like at the end?" "He was calm." "The last thing he said was that he had killed his mother." "His mother?" "Are you trying to quit or did you just start again?" "There once was this person whom I really loved." "He also tried to catch Shin Hyun." "What would he have done in a situation like this?" "Chu Kyung-sook's name is on the passenger list." "But not Choi Young Jin's." "Let me have a look." "The owner of the basement office!" "Who the hell is this?" "His name's Kim Young-mo." "This prick looks suspicious." "The owner of the basement room, Kim Young-mo, was a homeless person." "Choi Young Jin has been living under the identity of Kim all this time!" "He bought plane tickets under that name every time Chu Kyung-sook flewto Kangneung." "It turned out that Choi owns a house in Kangneung." "The important thing is that his trips to Kangneung coincide with the murder dates." "Over here!" "Knock it over." "April 14th" ""Another person moving inside of me..."" ""At first I could control him, but not anymore."" ""All those murders..."" ""I'm afraid of this other person."" ""If I can't control him, what choice do I have?"" "Choi Young Jin was a patient of Dr Chu's." "He suffered from a split personality disorder." "He believed that he was Shin Hyun." "He worshipped Shin Hyun, and eventually assumed his persona." "But despite the fact that he regarded his alter ego as his salvation he seemed terrified of the serial killings." "That's why he chose to commit suicide." "But why did he change the object of his murders?" "I think he was confused." "It was a mistake brought on by the battle with his other self." "What about Shin Hyun's manipulation?" "That will all become clear after a psychiatric examination of Huh Young Taek." "Three murders, including the one at the disco, were all Huh's doing." "The other two were Choi's work." "Okay." "Set up a press conference." "From Shin Hyun" "Kang..." "Are you scared?" "You son of a bitch." "You're driving me crazy until the bitter end." "The case is closed." "Go ahead and re-open it." "I guess it really is over." "Detective Han can finally rest in peace." "Nowthat Shin Hyun and Choi Young Jin are gone there shouldn't be any more trouble." "Detective Park!" "This shoe print came from a size 7 ", right?" "It's me." "So?" "What the hell is this all about?" "Talk to me." "God, this is frustrating." "Tell me what is going on." "What is it?" "What was Huh Young-Taek's phone number?" "Why?" "What is post-hypnosis?" "It's a state where a person falls back into hypnosis when given a specific signal at a specific time." "So, a person can become hypnotized after the hypnotist has died?" "If our assumptions are correct..." "In the basement, there should have been three sets of shoe prints." "Mine, Detective Kang's and Choi's." "But there were only two." "The female shoe prints were mine so the male shoe prints were either Kang's or Choi's." "Choi Young Jin is a size 9." "So it should be someone else's." "The prints found that night were a size 7 "." "The same as Detective Kang's." "Mi Yun, you must've made a mistake." "Check Choi Young Jin's phone records." "Before the murder he called" "Detectives Kang and Huh Young-Taek." "And the ring tone I heard that night was Kang's." "Was his phone melody a hypnotic signal?" "How can that be when you get several calls every day?" "He sent a certain sound through the mobile phone." "That sound was a hypnotic signal." "Shit!" "It can't be Kang!" "Tell me it isn't true!" "Don't do this!" "Put the gun down." "Nice and easy." "Everything's going to be all right." "I've heard that there's a way to break the hypnosis." "Put the gun down!" "Look me in the eyes!" "Kang!" "It's not your fault." "You had no choice." "That's how we need to look at this." "I never should've met with that guy..." "Translation:" "Broadcast Text Stockholm, 2003"
