The Dormitory Murder Case
This Bamboo Dormitory... was all planned.
It was all planned out!
What plans, you nutjob?
Remember the stories I uploaded, right?
We were so shocked when we heard those stories.
But finally,
it's time for me to find out if they're true.
You can see that, right?
Oh, someone opened the door slightly.
We were so shocked.
But finally...
(Peeking)
- Oh, what?! / - A hanbok! A hanbok!
Those red and yellow clothes...
No. No. Wait a minute...
They've got the culprit?
Okay. No, so I... So I...
Mature Joo!
- What? / - Mature Joo!
Let me talk. Please speak to me kindly.
How did we find that?
Soaring up as a prime suspect
Mature Joo!
I- Everyone! Everyone, listen.
Shouldn't you give me a chance to talk?
- Why were you doing an exorcism in your room? / - Everybody.
Your face is getting red.
Red like carrot.
Strawberry, tomato.
- You're really... / - You too.
I can't let you live either.
- Let me say something before you talk. / - Okay.
When we did the 1st site inspection together,
she came here and checked the laptop first.
I thought she just watched it, but when I think about it again,
I think she wanted to see if she appeared on the video.
The police say the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.
That's not true.
That's not true. I just came here.
Strong denial
But why were you wearing a hanbok?
I keep on failing... the bar exam, right?
So...
A fortune teller told you to wear a hanbok?
(Yeah)
Really? Really? For real?
I got goosebumps.
"Wear a hanbok and kill someone.
- Then you'll be a lawyer." / - Don't create stories.
You'll go to the slammer if you give false testimony.
Some would tell you to wear a hanbok and get chicken blood...
- Pour pig's blood on yourself? / - Yes.
It's something like that.
I got help from a fortune teller because of my bar exam.
Her name is Fairy Ha.
Fairy Ha? That name rings a bell...
(Fairy Ha is Hani's character from S2E10)
She told me to wear colourful clothes
and...
bi-bite a raw chicken for an exorcism.
- In the dormitory? / - I got goosebumps.
That's why I was in a hanbok.
In my own room, it's totally unrelated to this.
- But there was so much noise outside. / - Right.
Seulwoo was very noisy?
Someone was talking right outside.
So I opened the door because I was annoyed.
Then I shut the door.
You didn't open the door again?
You didn't see anybody in the corridor?
I only saw him.
I think this video is a decisive clue for who I'm suspicious of.
Because timing-wise, Mature definitely could have done it.
Reviewing the stream
Watch this now.
He turned around.
Which room is this?
- Room 303. / - It's Room 303.
The camera is facing towards the utility room.
To hit someone in the back of his head,
it means that person is behind this area.
So it's either Room 302 or 301.
It's possible that someone from Room 301 hit him.
Mature lives in Room 301
No, but here...
The moment when his head was hit by someone
was right after he passed by Room 303.
After passing Room 303,
he filmed Room 304 and collapsed right away.
Where is that?
Dayworker.
He could wait like this.
Then jump out and kill him.
That's possible.
If they were planning on murdering him,
they might've entered someone else's room.
Yes. I have to acknowledge that.
This doesn't mean Dayworker is the culprit,
but it was done by someone from Room 301, 302, or 303.
If they were watching Seulwoo's video,
they might have been waiting in Seulwoo's room.
- This room? / - Yes.
Because he was filming in the corridor.
Seulwoo's last movements
From the video, Seulwoo left Room 302
and walked towards the utility room.
A dumpster below the utility room window
- Ahjussi. / - Hmm?
Stay here.
There's something in there.
- What? / - The trash.
Rubbish bins are mostly full of rubbish.
But in the bin...
there's a phone.
- What? / - There's a phone.
- The one used to stream? / - It's Seulwoo's.
Hwang Seulwoo's phone
The criminal must've thrown it out there.
It must've filmed something.
Look at the messages.
- Oh, these. / - We've seen all these.
Other messages.
Mrs. Jang Heekyung.
"My son, are you busy these days? You barely keep in touch."
Texts with his mother
"I feel sad."
"I miss you. Please call me."
Is that it?
A thrown out wanted poster
Why was this thrown away?
Looking at the pictures from the wanted list,
I saw the name Park Chungsun.
But I think I've seen this name before, so...
This lady... have you seen this?
What is that?
What about it? My station distributed these.
I saw it before.
Where did I see it?
Super's divorce documents
Here! Here! Here!
Wait. I think Rapper found something.
Rapper found something.
What is it?
'Park Chunsun' is on that, right?
Oh? 45 year old female.
- Manslaughter! / - Look at this.
Super Jang's ex-wife.
The reward to catch her is $50,000.
She escaped from prison and is being pursued?
His ex-wife is a fugitive?
It's her! From the newspaper!
This is the lady from the article.
- She escaped? / - She has needles.
These are the same people?
The same person
Then right now...
If she's escaped from prison...
- Here... / - I bet she's here somewhere.
Room 304.
304?
In my dormitory!
No, where would I...
Why would...
Find it quickly!
(Rapper raids his pockets)
You have the key, don't you?
I don't have the key.
- Really? / - Yes.
Perhaps, among those still living,
nobody actually knows where Room 304's key is.
That's why I started to search in the victim's pockets.
I didn't check this because I didn't want to get dirty.
- There's something there. / - This is scary.
It's right here.
It's right here!
Room 304's key
It's right here.
- What? / - But why?
Why is Room 304's key with the body?
It's right here.
- It's here. / - He was threatened.
He was going to use the key to enter Room 304.
And so he killed him!
The ghost stories! I get it now. The ghost stories.
What?
I was wondering why there were ghost stories about my building!
That rotten man hid someone in my building!
That's why there's a ghost story!
Checking 304 immediately
Open it! Open it!
What was her name?
- That rotten man. / - Open it up.
- Park Chungsun. / - Park Chungsun!
I swear, if there's a woman in that room!
It's unlocked.
There's no way. There's no way, right?
Oh, it's open!
It's open.
It's empty...
- It's open. / - Is anybody there?
It's empty...
Wow!
- Look at that! / - Fried chicken!
This is where the chicken went!
Chicken taken from the leaving party?
The chicken!
Search! Search! Search!
Isn't there someone under the bed?
Why is the mattress so high?
Under the bed is...?
What? What? What?
Ah! There's a ghost!
- There's a ghost. / - She's actually there?
Ghost!
A ghost again
What? What is this?
The owner of the chicken is under the bed
There's a ghost!
Under the bed of Room 304
A ghost!
Park Chungsun...?
Ah, these people...
You rotten man!
Driving the building's value down!
- Ahjumma. / - Oh no.
This is where the ghost stories come from!
Excuse me.
- This is driving me mad. / - This is...
Honey.
- "Honey"? / - It's true.
Hidden in 304 is his 'Honey'
It's true. "Honey." Wait, Owner Park...
We need to meet her... My gosh.
- My gosh. / - Oh, come on.
Okay. Fine.
Please arrest him right now, Mr. Police Officer.
Hold on.
She escaped from prison.
She's a fugitive. Report it!
How much was the reward? $50,000!
Reward: $50,000
$50,000!
A chance to get-rich-quick
- Together! / - Wait...
I have the key. Everybody, stay still.
$50,000. Where is the poster?
You've never seen a fugitive before?
We haven't.
Please come to your senses.
This has nothing to do with today's case.
Why not?
No, this...
She's a fugitive.
Look at her trembling out of fear.
Didn't you see how she crawled out like from The Ring?
Honey, wait outside. Let's go out.
For now, let's just say that I'll get the reward.
This is my dormitory.
- I'm taking her in. / - Hold on.
Arrest her right now! Use a taser.
She's a fugitive! Tase her first!
Honey.
Honey! Wait.
The fugitive Chungsun is arrested on the spot
Wait, there's something... Honey!
It feels like I was blinded by love.
In my 50 years of life, he was my first love.
In the end, he hid his wife in the empty room
and because of the rustling sounds they made,
there was news that we were haunted
and a weird YouTuber came over.
Isn't that the reason the value of my building dropped?
Why did they make someone else's dormitory into a haunted house?
Those rotten people.
She's a fugitive and doesn't have a house or anything.
She's still my wife.
This has nothing to do with the current case.
Okay? It's totally unrelated, and my heart is breaking.
My wife...
I don't know why I'm only telling you this, but...
I'm struggling too.
Ahjussi...
There's no alcohol here?
- Alcohol? / - I think I need some now.
Aren't we supposed to capture the criminal who killed Seulwoo?
- We have to capture the criminal. / - Yes.
- Don't get scared. Don't be scared... / - Okay.
The criminals are working hard right now.
Became a hotspot instantly
- Criminals? / - They saw my wife,
and look at them going crazy, raiding my market.
You're going over, too?
I'm... I'm scared of you.
Why hide a fugitive?
- Why would you be scared? / - I'm scared.
You're suspicious too...
Ahjumma!
(Asking for help)
Wait there.
Wait, ahjumma...
Don't talk to me.
This is so weird.
That's all for the middle-aged farewell
These people...
Raiding the supermarket
When I looked at the snacks, on the back,
there were pictures and names of missing people. But...
A missing poster
Go Heeyeon.
Lee Geonjun.
Jeong Soyeong.
36, 36, 36.
Why are they all 36?
All three of them were born in 1988.
Why 1988?
What happened in 1988?
Is there a meaning behind the number 1988?
Money-hungry lady!
What?
Ahjussi. Dayworker.
Money-hungry lady. Please look at this.
These are snacks in the market.
They're all the same age. 36 years old.
I think Seulwoo is 36.
Look at this.
The reason he's doing this is
Wait a second, Mature Joo...
2 minutes earlier in 301, Mature's room
I'm suspicious of Mature.
What?
A hole in the wall?
Where does this go?
Mature's Room
Seulwoo's Room
Ahjussi. Dayworker.
Money-hungry lady. Please look at this.
The hole from earlier?
(Cursing with her eyes)
He tries to make noise, but
Nobody is coming...
What?
Wait, I... I was dealing with a report...
The Officer goes to the singing
Why?
What's the matter, ahjussi?
(Mature, she...!)
What's the matter?
Oh, wait.
Reporting the illegal construction
Oh, shi... what?
Seulwoo's room is clearly visible
She was watching?
It's...
The hole goes through
Screaming again
Nobody... Excuse me...
No interest from their neighbours
Nobody is paying attention...
Dayworker!
What is it?
Belatedly coming due to a noise complaint(?)
Dayworker.
- What? / - Whose room is that?
- What is this, Mature? / - What?
Nuna.
That guy is a lunatic.
What? He made the hole?
He's a crazy bastard.
One day, he made a hole and was peeping at me.
I told you that did an exorcism, right?
- He watched you. / - Yes, he did.
I, Mature Joo, will become a lawyer.
I will.
(Sees the hole)
What are you doing?
There's something there?
He made holes to spy on me.
He did?
He's a crazy bastard who deserved to die.
(Looking in Seulwoo's phone)
Ahjussi, where are you going?
Don't go. Ahjussi!
What is this?
But...
What? That's not important.
I'll give you $50,000. So...
A video on Seulwoo's phone
Please pretend you didn't see her, okay?
You know that I'm leaving tomorrow, right?
If you give me $50,000 now,
I can pretend I didn't see anything.
Okay. Listen.
I'll get it for you. Wait for a moment.
I'll get it right now.
- What is that? / - $50,000.
(Hasn't seen it)
To whom from who?
- Officer! / - Yes?
I'm so out of this.
I saw this earlier, but what is that about?
That's right. Seulwoo saw.
- Saw what? / - The lady in Room 304.
He saw Super's wife.
The reward money is $50,000, right?
So Seulwoo threatened him to get $50,000.
To Super?
So Super said that he'll get the money.
But if he had failed to do that by tonight,
his wife would go back to the slammer.
So he had to kill him.
I know Seulwoo. He would want to record this on YouTube.
It's time for me to find out if the stories are true.
If he was on his way to unravel the mystery of Room 304,
and if Super found out about it,
I think he has enough of a motive to commit murder.
Meanwhile in 303, Dayworker's room
Why did he burn these?
What did he burn?
Oh, gross.
1988.
This is like...
A suspicious piece with a date
something related to birth dates?
It seems obvious that Super Jang is the culprit, but...
- No. / - What are these?
He said these were applications, right? They're not.
What is this unfamiliar paper mixed in with the applications?
This date is 1988.
I wanted to become a full-time worker.
But each time...
I burn every failed application.
You burn them to get rid of them.
This is written by hand.
Written by hand
I think this is a document from before typing was used, no?
Why would you write by hand in this era?
(Rummaging)
This is old.
- There's something here. / - There is?
IVF record?
Na Hwaga.
Fertility treatment records
This is a document related to an IVF procedure.
In this document, three names were listed.
All of them gave birth in 1988.
Okay. Do you know what I found earlier?
There was nothing here.
Get the police officer.
- Mr. Police Officer! / - Mr. Police Officer!
Ah, wait... One at a time!
Officer Key is flustered by the flood of reports
This is big.
No, no.
This isn't the time to be listening to him.
Look at this.
What? What? What's wrong?
- Earlier. / - The things he burnt.
He wrote March 1988 by hand.
This is an old document, but he burnt it.
Why do you think he did that?
- The answer is right here. / - This IVF treatment document.
Male
All of them gave birth to a son in 1988.
Do you see where this is going?
There's a familiar name in this list. Jang Heekyung.
What is the name of Seulwoo's mother?
- Jang Heekyung? / - Jang Heekyung.
"I miss you. Please call me."
Seulwoo was born in 1988, wasn't he?
Dayworker was also born in 1988, right?
Do you see where this is going?
Their lives got swapped?
"I miss you. Please call me."
Do you know what I found earlier?
What is it?
In Seulwoo's bag...
Why aren't you showing me?
(A big huddle without Dayworker)
Taken from Seulwoo's luggage
I found an art-related book inside Seulwoo's bag.
An art magazine
I thought it was just a scandal related to a painter's personal life.
An interview about Jang Hwabaek's comeback
These fu...
What are all of you doing in my room?
"The child Na Hwaga gave birth to is not Jang Hwabaek's child.
The child was born out of wedlock..."
"She filed for defamation and committed suicide."
The babies were swapped.
These fu...
Where's my bat?
She killed herself as she felt wronged.
Who was Na Hwaga, who died unjustly?
Na Hwaga?
Na Hwaga is his mother.
That's right.
(Na Hwaga means "Getting angry")
She's your mother, isn't she?
Na Hwaga
Jang Hwabaek
She's my mother.
My mother...
(Teary)
When did you realise she wasn't your biological mother?
She is my biological mother.
My mother is my biological mother.
But the DNA wasn't a match?
The pair's sudden divorce was shocking. The official reason according to Jang Hwabaek was that
it was Na's affair. The child Na Hwaga gave birth to is not Jang Hwabaek's child.
My DNA doesn't match my father's...
so my father thought she had an affair, and they divorced.
But she denied it until the end of her life.
Back in the past, at the fertility centre...
You got changed?
That's not it.
The director...
used his own sperm...
and gave it to all his patients.
That's why...
My mother didn't do anything.
That's extreme.
Wait, why did you burn your birth records?
Birth record?
Why did you burn them?
These are birth records, right?
I hate the fact that I was born.
I've had that with me even after my mother passed away.
I wanted a new start.
So l...
I wrote my résumé and resolved to lead a good life.
Why did you kill Seulwoo then?
What are you talking about?
Oh, that scared me. Fucking hell.
Seulwoo was born in 1988 too.
What does that matter?
Why else would only people born in 1988 be missing?
How is that related to me?
Something happened in 1988.
Did Seulwoo know about it?
Seulwoo must've found out about you.
Because I found this in his bag.
Seulwoo's mother and Na Hwaga...
Dayworker's Mother
Seulwoo's Mother
They had IVF treatments at the same centre.
I didn't know. I didn't know about that.
My mother was falsely accused.
So got this from Agent Jang to know who I really am.
Okay. Sure.
What? What is this?
- What?! / - Have you seen this?
There's another drawer under his drawer.
So I opened it and there were documents.
"I have no idea why you aren't Jang Hwabaek's son.
Dayworker's mother's Suicide note
It wasn't easy to get you.
All I did was go to the fertility centre.
Dayworker, don't feel down even when I'm not there."
It's all there. Really.
"My doctor is my child's biological father?"
What he said is true.
An investigative piece on the atrocity
- I was being honest! / - He's really pitiful.
"My doctor is my child's biological father?"
Dr. Jang, the director, was
found to have injected his own sperm into the patients who visited the centre in 1987 instead of their
husband's.
(Matches Dayworker's story)
Look at this.
"Among the patients who went to the centre since 1987
there were around 10 patients found to have received Jang's sperm."
So the people born in 1988 from the snacks...
They were all born in 1988.
These are Doctor Jang's kids.
Another son who was born using Doctor Jang's sperm.
Jang Heekyung's son, Hwang Seulwoo.
What if Seulwoo was also Doctor Jang's child?
But why are all of them missing?
You're brothers then?
Half-brothers.
We're half-brothers?
But that's true.
Who?
All of them are half-siblings.
And Seulwoo was murdered
The missing people... So that means...
The 3 missing people are half-siblings?
- Why are they missing? / - It could be a serial killer.
It could be a serial killer.
Did you go around killing all of them? Including Seulwoo?
Look. Damn, I need to know what you're saying to defend myself.
Suddenly a serial killer?
What about this again?
People keep on going missing.
Why did they go missing?
Perhaps...
(Suspicion)
he didn't just do this to Seulwoo, but to the others as well?
If I don't catch the culprit soon,
I'll end up being a patsy.
Where are you going with that?
- Destroying evidence? / - No, I'm not doing that.
Both Owner and Super are weird.
- Everybody is weird. / - The landlady is weird.
Let's go to Owner's room.
- In my opinion... / - Why 8 of everything?
I think it's her.
This lady, even her phone number is 8888-8888.
8 8s in her number
I think there's something about 8 with her.
Why is she so obsessed with the number 8? 8.
What?
There's something here?
There's something under there?
What is up with this building?
Account books
Did she get a loan?
- What is this lady? / - I was right!
Jang Wonyoung! That's right, Wonyoung!
- What? / - Jang Wonyoung.
(Singing 'I AM' by IVE)
That's my life, it's a beautiful galaxy.
(Dancing along for some reason)
I told you so.
Galaxy.
I told you so.
- That missing person! / - Look at this!
Ahjumma!
Here he is! Lee Geonjun.
Lee Geonjun. Go Heeyeon.
Choi Minho.
Even the old resident Choi Minho
Lee Geonjun is here.
You said that he lived here before.
Yeah! The ledger!
Jeong Soyeong.
The ledger is over there.
Born in 1988.
Look at that. I knew that she would do this.
Born in 1988.
Everybody was born in 1988.
All of these cards are from people born in 1988.
Is this just a coincidence?
Here it is.
Rapper Ahn acquired the dormitory ledger
We've got you.
We've got you, Owner.
Here you go.
Here it is.
All of them used to stay here.
All the people Owner had IDs for had lived in Bamboo Dormitory.
I have never imagined that something like this
would be happening at my dormitory.
Who is she? Who is that woman?
I get it. I get it.
The more we learn, the more mysterious Owner Park becomes
I get it!
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.
Officer Key senses something
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Salt mine and identity cards.
- You... / - What's the matter?
You got money to send people over, right?
What are you talking about?
You received money from a salt mine centre.
No. That's just the name of the loan centre.
I was promised a loan with low interested there.
You sold them as slaves for salt mines!
- That's right. / - It's just a name!
Not buying it
Who would name themselves that?
Go to their website. Check it out yourself.
No, no.
Hold on.
I'm so upset. Slaves?
Framed
Everyone. Nothing about this is more dangerous than the birth secret.
(Not listening)
I'm telling you that it's not me.
I don't even know them.
Why does it say they were all born in 1988?
You're the one who let them stay here.
Everybody who stayed here has gone missing.
They didn't live here. What are you talking about?
Here...
Lee Geonjun's name is right here.
Comparing the accounts and missing people again
You should know about this.
- Really? / - He's right here.
- Really? I had no idea. / - There's more.
There's Lee Geonjun.
(Belatedly checking)
Jeong Soyeong. Go Heeyeon.
There's nothing I can do if they want to go into hiding.
- They went into hiding? / - I don't know.
They're just people who left this place.
They left after staying here?
They left without a word, but she didn't know they were missing?
Yeah!
Do you have to take out the "www."?
Yeah, take it out.
"Because we're trustworthy. Because it's easy.
Anybody can get a loan as long as you have an ID."
They just left... Oh?
His!
Hwang Seulwoo! His identity card!
What they need is Seulwoo's identification number
- Seulwoo's ID! / - The yellow note!
Ah, this is urgent.
32324...
Rapper gets it first
That's right.
I found it.
I just took out loans.
The number she got instead of an ID
Here, here, here.
Seulwoo's.
I typed it in, but found nothing.
It was nonsense.
Hwang Seulwoo is his real name, isn't it?
No information found.
Hold on. His ID number.
I tried to use the number he gave, but nothing showed up.
The reason I was suspicious of her from the start
is because she took our ID cards instead of a deposit.
So I think that's how she's been getting loans, and then...
when we entered the website,
Jeong Soyeong has a delayed loan. Additional loans are not available.
everybody had a loan under their name and ID number.
The only one we couldn't find was Seulwoo's.
The important thing is, not only the missing people, but even the victim
was born in 1988.
We have to find out about that relationship first.
Shall we sit together?
Let's sit in the plaza.
Why is it so shocking today?
The suspects have an emergency meeting
I was so shocked earlier, finding someone under a bed.
Why is it so shocking?
What kind of person is she?
What? Let me ask you something.
Super Jang....
was it sincere?
- Ahjumma, you were my last resort. / - Ahjumma?!
It was just so that my wife could continue to live.
Sure, I'm a bastard.
There. Was. No. Romance.
You can hit me after this.
But I'd like to ask you something.
Why do you think the 304 key was in his pocket, Super?
I told you that Seulwoo caught me, right?
The spare key was with me.
After I gave fried chicken to my wife,
I got caught by him after I stayed there for 15 minutes.
He asked what was I doing there
and opened the door and saw my wife.
He realised she was on the wanted poster.
So I brought him down.
When we came down, it was 11:05PM. So...
then he demanded $50,000.
So you filmed that video.
He asked for the key to that room.
I told him I had the money in the factory.
- So you went to get it? / - But it wasn't there.
- The money wasn't there. / - Where is it?
The money that was supposed to be there is missing?
I hid the money, but it wasn't there.
- It went missing? / - Where is it?
I don't know. That's why I...
Isn't that worse?
How can you not know?
The last thing I asked my wife before she was taken away
was to ask if she took the money.
Honey! Wait.
Wait, there's something...
One question for his wife getting arrested
Wait a minute!
I have something to ask her.
There was money at the factory, but it's gone.
Did you take it?
(My money...)
In the end, money isn't important to Seulwoo.
He's an attention seeker. Filming everything.
It's clear that after he told me to get the money...
Yeah, to get more views.
He definitely would've done that.
Isn't that the reason he wanted to kill Seulwoo?
Does that mean I'm in love with a murderer?
- Everyone is weird. / - Everyone definitely is.
What about the identity cards for the loans?
- What's that for? / - Let's ask her.
You know that I charge less for rent now, right?
All the residents kept leaving.
Before this, my rent was $400.
But I had to cut it to $150 because of the competition.
That means my profit has been decreased to one third.
Right.
So?
I need money.
I bought this building after applying for a loan.
How am I supposed to pay the interest?
- You need money urgently. / - She needs it urgently.
That's why you take identity cards instead of security deposits?
- And... / - Where are they?
I have no idea.
There's a person called Jeong Soyeong.
She suddenly left without saying a word one day.
- Suddenly? / - Suddenly.
You know about online loans, don't you?
The start of identity theft
Jeong Soyeong's maximum loan limit is $20,000.
So you started on that day.
- I tried on that day. / - And it worked?
It went quite smoothly.
Why didn't you return her identity card?
She left it here with me.
- She left it with you? / - But why?
(Can't understand)
I've never seen the missing posters with 88.
Do you have your phone with you?
Take a look at it.
That's impossible.
All the people who came here disappeared.
That's a big question for me too.
But one day, all of them just left.
- But... / - I only used their ID numbers.
Nobody saw this?
- What is that? / - Jang Euisoo.
"When will you pay me back?"
('Euisoo' means a prosthetic arm)
Texts with Jang Euisoo?
"I can't wait long.
I'll take your eyeballs instead of money."
"You don't know me, do you? When will you pay me back?"
The interest is 150%. It's so high.
Under 150% isn't in my dictionary. Cut the crap and pay me.
That happens.
What's with 8 then?
Why are you so obsessed with the number 8?
I love 8.
Why were they all born in 1988?
Is that just a coincidence?
That has nothing to do with it.
Are you Chinese?
She's Chinese?
(8 is considered very lucky in China)
Chinese people go crazy for the number 8.
Are you Chinese?
(Her Korean is noticeably worse now)
That's where I came from.
Suddenly?
All of a sudden...
(Truly
shocked)
- Wait. / - Wait.
Dizzy
Wait, lady...
(He seems to be speaking in a distinctly rural tone)
Money is one thing, but where are these people?
Interrogating with her own(?) tone
I have no idea.
Why are only the people you used to get loans missing?
How am I meant to know that?
What's with the salt mine?
Someone tried to get rid of the body in the utility room.
Imagine if that person tried to remove the organs.
No. Don't go that far.
No. I really think that's suspicious.
All of the missing people are part of the renters' list.
- And... / - That's going too far.
You mean I cut them all up and sold their organs?
There are scenes like that in 'Coin Locker Girl'.
Springing
No...
You might think they're all young,
but if they were born in 1988, they're 36 years old.
They're not an age where they'd run away from home.
This is unique.
Checking if her ex-boyfriend's organs are there
I wanted to check if his organs were taken, but I'm clueless.
You opened him up?
Amazing
I'm scared.
(Looking again, still gruesome)
Ah, this is scary, I can't touch him.
I kept on looking at the body.
There was something on the left side of his stomach I couldn't see,
Something else on the left of his stomach?
so I wiped it clean.
- There are holes. / - Wait.
What is this?
What could this be?
I think those holes were made on purpose.
In my opinion,
this has nothing to do with the cause of death.
- Like a sign? / - Yes.
It's a wound to mark it and has nothing to do with cause of death.
Yes. It looks like a ritual...
Let's check your stomach.
Check what?
I want to see if you have the same mark.
What are y-
Show me yours!
I wanted to check since it's a mark.
Both of you were born in 1988.
Hold on.
But, back in the day... I liked things like this...
This...
is an 8.
- Really? / - Why is this 8?
This is the number '8'?
We're supposed to find the number 8, anyway.
- Born in 1988! / - Born in 1988.
No, you're the one who loves the number 8.
No. Now look at this.
Frustrated
Jeong Soyeong, Lee Geonjun,
and others who were shown as missing behind the snacks
(Recapping the 88ers story again)
were all born in 1988.
1988. 1988.
The 1988 babies who were born using the wrong sperm.
They were all murdered and the last victim is Seulwoo.
No, no, no!
The 88 babies were killed because you love the number 8.
Why would I kill them if I like the number 8?
Why this is 8... I have an idea. I like horror movies, right?
This is 1. This is 2.
This is 3.
These are hieroglyphs.
Hieroglyphs he's seen in a gore movie?
This is 8.
No...
In the past, they used these kinds of numbers in China too.
Everybody knows that.
Everybody in China loves 8.
They love it.
It's because if we use 8, it means we'll be rich.
Owner is very obsessed with the number 8,
but it might be a coincidence because there's no evidence.
We need to unravel the meaning behind the number 8.
Where did these account books come from?
- Under the table... / - Mr. Officer! I have something to say.
- I have something to say. / - What? What? What?
Wait. I have to do this first.
I got goosebumps. Let me tell you something.
- Okay. / - Look at this.
Lee Geonjun. Go Heeyeon.
Missing
Jeong Soyeong. When was this? In 2022.
Missing
- Right? / - Yes.
Dayworker was the first to arrive and took this room.
First time checking in
But then Soyeong disappeared without a word suddenly.
That was on March 29.
The next pattern is the same.
They left without a word.
Dayworker is the one who came here first.
When I think about it, everybody died in that room.
And you had no clue?
I was too obsessed with money.
Those who run away from home have nothing precious anyway.
- Listen. / - Excuse me, Owner.
He murders them and throws their body away every Tuesday.
This is a serial killer.
Why would he kill them?
I don't know either.
This started after Dayworker arrived?
The serial killing began after Dayworker arrived?
Look, Dayworker Jang.
No.
Mature Joo
If we look at it that way, Mature was the first.
She's just a weirdo.
I don't leave my room.
(My way)
- She's just a weirdo. / - What about Rapper?
He's just...
He's just a nutjob.
These two are ruled out as suspects
No, they're all...
Why? Why is it Dayworker?
I'm telling you that Dayworker is the murderer.
He was born in 1988, but Dayworker wasn't killed because...
His eyes are so bad that they can't be sold.
I just got goosebumps.
His corneas can't be sold due to his disease.
You dummy. Do you only have corneas? Livers aren't expensive?
I get it.
Did you find something?
Dayworker's counterattack?
I get it now, Officer.
- Sir. / - Yes?
If you look at this, everyone who went missing
disappeared on Tuesday.
You might suspect me since I arrived before them,
but she said the garbage is picked up on Tuesdays.
The garbage truck.
But I work every day since I'm a day labourer.
So I never deal with the garbage.
That's perfect. It's perfect.
How would I know the truck comes every Tuesday?
Knowing that the truck comes every Tuesday morning
is a prerequisite for disposing of the body perfectly.
It can only be Owner Park.
It's not a coincidence that they were all born in 1988.
After Dayworker came here, I think there is a reason,
Dayworker Jang
although it might be coincidental, that they all come here.
The number of people who died including Seulwoo is 8.
How did they all come here?
Did I invite them over? No.
Do I only accept people born in 1988? No.
Ahjussi, the reason that's possible is
nowhere else offers rent at $150.
- This is the only place. / - But for $150,
it would've attracted those born in 1987 and 1986 too.
Why would only those born in 1988 come?
I couldn't bring them here either.
How would I lure Seulwoo here?
How could I do that then?
$150!
"The rent is $150! There's nowhere as cheap as this!"
Then people born in 1987 and 1986 would come too!
(Ridiculous)
Why would only those born in 1988 act like moths to a flame?
"The rent is only $150!
Where in the world can you rent for $150?"
There are many suspicious points about Owner.
So I figured I should search her room thoroughly.
I checked her drawers and everything, then...
What?
There was another small drawer behind her drawer.
A secret drawer
I looked through and...
What on earth was inside?
What? Why?
From the secret drawer
Why?
What about it?
Ahjus- Ahjumma, you're a professional butcher?
Ahjumma...
See! I told yo- Oh!
Where did you find that?
Here, under this.
Pictures from her butcher days
The picture of her cutting meat,
how professional she looks with the knife,
and her certificate in butchery.
A licence from the Craftsman Fabrication of Meats
This is the evidence that I've been trying to find.
I was thinking about who would be able to handle a big knife?
That was the biggest question.
She's the one who could most likely use the weapon.
Really, no matter what.
You need to be patient no matter what comes.
Don't get swayed and stay strong.
Everybody will be blaming you from now on.
(Giving advice for old time's sake)
So be strong.
Nervous
I was too hasty earlier, Honey.
Everyone is burgling Owner Park
I'm crazy for money, but I'm not a murderer.
Sure.
Honey, if you save me this one time, I'll forgive you for everything.
Don't worry.
Don't worry at all. You have me.
No worries
I'll make sure
to send you to a safe prison.
Really...
Meanwhile, Dayworker focuses on the rain jacket?
I think this is right?
Ahjussi.
Dayworker figured something out?
Ahjussi, this...
All of his blood is flowing in this direction.
Only this part is weird.
This is stepped on.
Interrupted(?) blood stains
It became dark because of the blackout.
It suddenly became dark.
So they slipped.
They slipped and fell here.
Blood only covering the right side
That could be it.
Right?
I am so flustered now.
Owner is chosen for a 1:1 interview
You need to prove that you aren't the one.
Since everybody is a suspect.
I told you what the answer is.
(Upset)
Now... do you remember anyone else
born in 1988 who left without going missing?
The only one who's still here is Dayworker.
Dayworker Jang
Dayworker is the only survivor?
So it's just him and the rest.
Who do you think is the criminal?
Dayworker Jang.
- You think it's him? / - Yes.
Another major incident is that
if Seulwoo dies,
you have 8 account books.
Look. Let me say something.
(Something to say)
How many people are there including Seulwoo and Dayworker?
- 9, right? / - Yes.
Based on the article, the number of children born in 1988
with the doctor's sperm is as many as ten people.
You shouldn't focus on the number 8.
If we add Dayworker, it'll be 9 people
and the child Cha Sumin gave birth to makes it 10.
Cha Sumin
The important part is there's 10, not 8
- The total is 10 children. / - Yes, 10.
That's why this is a serial murder?
Only 1 was born in the centre but didn't come to the dorm?
A serial killer, or it was just done by someone crazy.
The fact that the victims include these 10 people
was known by Dayworker.
That's why his mother committed suicide.
The communal kitchen where the party was
Seulwoo's Digital camera
Whose is this? It's his, right?
What?
Did Seulwoo take these pictures?
I drank one glass and couldn't drink any more.
He said, "Do you know how expensive this is?
It's more expensive than you."
Then he poured it over me.
- He's a bastard. / - I vomited, since I can't drink.
He even took a picture of me vomiting.
A picture of me going to the toilet to vomit.
Let's say I'm Owner.
Hwang Seulwoo.
Fanatic Ahn emerges
What?
What?!
What is it?
Seulwoo's identity card.
What they've desperately searched for
Seulwoo's ID is right here.
- Whose? / - Hwang Seulwoo.
Hwang Seulwoo's ID
Seulwoo's identity card? See!
I told you that she had it.
- Where did you find it? / - In this purse...
In the wallet with the account books
- Ah, it was hidden. / - She hid it.
Why did she pretend to not have it?
To the en- Look at that!
Why did she pretend to not have it?
To the en- Look at that!
Hwang Seulwoo's maximum loan limit is $80,000.
$80,000?
- She hasn't applied for the loan. / - No, she hasn't.
She has to get rid of him first on Tuesday.
She always applies for a loan after that person's death.
Shall we apply for the loan and take $20,000 each?
- That's a good idea. / - Let's keep it a secret.
Since I found it, can I get $30,000?
She hasn't applied for the loan worth $80,000 yet.
She wants to get the loan in a safe condition.
That's why she hasn't applied for it yet.
Let's talk about the things we haven't unravelled yet.
Combining all the clues and finalising deductions
Is there something that's still bugging you?
Anything?
Owner kept on saying that she didn't have Seulwoo's ID
even though we kept asking her about it.
I didn't have it initially.
I never said I didn't have his ID card.
I said that I didn't get his ID card on that day
and got this from him instead.
So he gave me a fake number.
It's fake but I still have his number, right?
So I tried to apply for a loan,
but I couldn't, since the number is fake.
However, he decided to have a party on the last day.
I thought that was perfect. So I went to his room and found it.
Then I opened the computer in his room
and he was worth $80,000.
Hwang Seulwoo's maximum loan limit is $80,000.
So you hid it in your purse?
Yes.
We heard what you said earlier.
You said you don't rent a room if they don't give their ID card.
I wouldn't have if it was someone else.
But who am I? The money-crazy lady.
Why wouldn't I accept him since he was paying me $150?
So I took the money first
and aimed to get a loan under his name later.
Dayworker, in your opinion,
why didn't she kill you?
Me?
I like 8.
All the 1988 people who stayed here were killed on Tuesdays.
Why do you think you were not murdered?
Isn't she just cultivating me?
What nonsense. Why would I cultivate you?
It's not like he has any value.
She can't apply for a loan using my name, since I'm a day labourer.
What is the name of your eye disorder?
The name of the eye disease.
And another suspicion
There is one clue that was never solved.
There was a warning behind the game pack.
Photosensitive Epilepsy Warning
A photosensitive epilepsy warning.
Photosensitive epilepsy?
What is it called?
The name of the eye disease.
- This? / - Yes.
Eye...
"Stress on the eyes and astigmatism."
(This prescription)
That's not the name of the disease.
I got a prescription due to the condition.
I get a bit dizzy if I don't use these glasses.
You feel dizzy and nauseous.
You weren't wearing glasses when the wine was poured on you.
Yes. I went down without wearing my glasses.
I drank without wearing them, and since I drank a bit,
I vomited more. Since I can't drink much.
- That's a genetic disorder? / - Yes. I've had it since birth.
That's why when I was in school,
I was ostracised and bullied by others.
For now, let's organise things and choose carefully.
All that's left is the last 3 minutes and the final vote
After each player inspects the scene for 3 minutes, the final vote will commence
This is tough.
It's tough.
I never imagined that there was something
more difficult than the bar exam.
Vote based on the clues
The weapon and body tell us who the criminal is.
What happened...
This butcher.
(Jacked)
Look at those arms.
That was done by a professional.
A regular person couldn't have done it.
She is someone who can easily use big knives as a butcher
and knows that the garbage is picked up every Tuesday.
The one who can create the 11PM lights-off rule.
It happened in a place she's most familiar with.
She murdered seven people using the weapon she's most used to.
But there was suddenly a blackout.
That's why she failed to murder for the 8th time.
In the future, live kindly.
The fact that his mother committed suicide
became a deep sadness in Dayworker's life.
It's also the source of pain and anger.
So he would attack the one who caused pain to her, right?
The dead doctor.
Even though the doctor who did it has died,
he said his goal was to spread his DNA.
What would he think of the nine other people
who shared the same DNA
as him with the doctor?
He summoned and slowly killed his other half-siblings.
That's what he was doing.
Anyway, the last one...
if the 8th murder had been a perfect crime,
I believe that he would have found his 9th victim.
There's one person yet to come to this dormitory.
Wouldn't it be that person?
I'm certain that Dayworker is the criminal.
Why is this so confusing?
Based on the evidence, it's about loans.
She was under a lot of pressure too.
She borrowed money under someone else's name.
If even one of them is alive, the truth would come out.
But what if all of them went missing?
That changes things.
You have the most evidence pointing at you.
Yeah, I wanted to see this.
Treatment documents for Dayworker's mother
Na Hwaga.
The disorder that he's had since he was born.
What is that disorder?
I don't know what it's called. So I'd like to find out.
Photosensitivty
So the disease is called photosensitivity syndrome.
One of the symptoms is being very sensitive to light.
Exposure to sights such as flashing lights or patterns may cause seizures.
temporary unconsciousness
In severe cases, even fainting?
If there was a meeting point between a murder case and disease,
especially in conditions like today,
when he was trying to get rid of the body,
if there was a sudden blackout and lightning.
he could've fallen down and dirtied the raincoat.
If this is evidence related to the murder case...
That could be the explanation of the blood stains. That much I've deduced.
Ah, handcuffing him breaks my heart.
But even so...
Murder is wrong.
This is what I thought while I was suspicious of them.
What brought those people born in 1988 here?
How did the people born in 1988 end up at Bamboo Dormitory?
Her ex-boyfriend, Seulwoo's room
Please let me find something. Please.
Desperate
Oh, what?
Her pleas are answered?
Ah, wait.
Owner Park's phone
It looks like Owner was a client of Agent Jang.
Please pay for your commission.
I became certain after seeing this.
Owner brought all of them here using Agent Jang.
The address is an 8 as well.
Owner.
Goodbye!
They're currently tied, the last vote is?
Goodbye!
The final vote is complete
The deduction game, Crime Scene Returns' second episode.
The result of the breathtaking deduction game
to solve the Dormitory Murder Case will be revealed.
Who received the most votes?
I will now reveal the results.
I will announce the people who were ruled out.
The players who received 0 votes are...
Super Jang...
Mature Joo...
and Rapper Ahn.
You have been ruled out as suspects.
It's like this?
Therefore, the final suspects
are Owner Park and Dayworker Jang.
Please step forward.
The 1988 babies who were born using the wrong sperm.
Doctor Jang's offspring born in 88
The others who were shown as missing behind the snacks
The 88ers that went missing
were all born in 1988.
1988. 1988.
Seulwoo & Dayworker were both born in 88
He's been killing them the whole time!
To stop Doctor Jang from sowing his seed
This is a serial killer.
Dayworker Jang is a serial killer?
If you look at this, everyone who went missing
disappeared on Tuesday.
The missing people disappeared on Tuesday
She said the garbage is picked up on Tuesdays.
The trash is collected on Tuesday
How would I know the truck comes every Tuesday?
You're the one who let them stay here.
A serial killer of residents for the loan money?
Everybody who stayed here has gone missing.
They didn't live here. What are you talking about?
Here...
All the evidence is saying that Owner is the culprit.
Nothing about this is more dangerous than the birth secret.
Who is the true culprit?
This is so frustrating. We're letting the awful serial killer,
Dayworker Jang, slip through our fingers.
I'll try to remain calm with a poker face until the end.
The result of the final vote for the Dormitory Murder Case.
(Poker face)
The final suspect is...
with 4 votes,
Dayworker Jang.
The final culprit is Dayworker Jang
Me?
Dayworker Jang, please enter the cell.
You changed your mind at the end? No?
Welcome.
Falsely accused?
Seriously...
Officer Key, Super Jang, Mature Joo, and Owner Park,
who voted for him, please step forward.
What?
A confused rapper...
Rapper.
I'll spare you.
What about me?
If Dayworker Jang is the criminal,
Super Jang, Mature Joo, and Owner Park will each receive $2,000.
And Officer Key will receive $1,000.
If Dayworker Jang is not the criminal,
the criminal will take all the money of those who didn't vote for them.
That'd be a catastrophe. If that happens.
The deduction game, Crime Scene Returns' second episode.
Dayworker was voted to be the Dormitory Murderer.
Was he the criminal who killed Hwang Seulwoo?
You're so clueless.
Dayworker Jang, you are...
Please.
the criminal.
...the criminal.
The culprit was caught
So close
It was really confusing though.
The decisive clue you missed...
Screwed...
The mark on Seulwoo's stomach
is the number 8.
I chose Seulwoo as my 8th victim.
Once I get rid of the 9th and final victim,
then, I myself...
will be the 10th.
That wasn't there earlier.
I only showed this side.
Let's check your stomach.
Checked his stomach in the 2nd inspection
Check what?
- Check what? / - I want to see if you have the same mark.
Luckily, it was the other side...
What are y-
You only checked that side.
A Mayan 10 carved onto his stomach
So it was there.
By taking my own life as the 10th victim,
I was going to take my revenge.
Those are bad thoughts.
You kept on saying you couldn't have brought them here.
So how did you do it?
There was another decisive clue?
I saw it at the end. The invitation.
Found searching Seulwoo's room
Oh, what?
A final gift(?) from her ex-boyfriend
"Hwang Seulwoo, I'd like to invite you to a haunted dormitory."
If you last one month at the haunted dormitory, you get $500,000
An invitation
He was invited to the dormitory?
Dayworker requested help from Agent Jang
to find his address and send the invitation.
"If you want a challenge, on Sunday, November 26th,
enter Room 302 at the Bamboo Dormitory."
"If you last 30 days, you will be given $500,000."
Lured them in with a fake prize
My goodness.
Only Rapper and I are in last place.
- What is wrong with me? / - Try your best next time.
I must be an idiot.
Is Rapper Ahn really an idiot?
The Dormitory Murder Case The Whole Story
Master in arts, Jang Hwabaek and rising artist, Na Hwaga
gave birth to Dayworker Jang.
The joyous birth of the artist of the century lasted only a moment
as Dayworker didn't show any talent in the arts.
Furthermore, he also suffers from a rare affliction
called photosensitivity that makes him sensitive to lights.
This cast suspicion on the young Dayworker.
Unhappy with Dayworker's condition, Jang Hwabaek
decided to have a paternity test.
When his DNA was inconsistent,
he became certain that his wife had an affair
and chased Hwaga and the young Dayworker out of his house.
Hwaga, who was falsely accused, ended her own life.
Dayworker thought that he was the reason his mother died
which made his self-hatred and anger grow bigger.
As time passed by, living as a day labourer and drifter,
Dayworker ended up entering Bamboo Dormitory.
While reading a newspaper article, he froze in shock.
The doctor at the fertility centre where his mother went for treatment
secretly provided his sperm to the women who went there
just so as to spread his genes throughout the world.
The reason his dad abandoned him, his mother's death,
and even his cursed disease.
All of this misfortune was because of that lunatic doctor.
Doctor Jang...
In addition, he discovered there was a total of 10 children
including him, who were not supposed to be born.
As a revenge against the lunatic doctor,
he wanted to get rid the world of the doctor's DNA
and ultimately planned to end his own life.
Dayworker found their addresses from a private investigator
and started to invite his future victims to the Bamboo Dormitory.
After everybody was asleep at 11:30PM,
he lured them to the utility room
and turned on the washing machine to hide the sound of murder.
After murdering them with the knife from the kitchen,
he marked them using Mayan numbers.
He then cut up the body and wrapped it in a garbage bag
and threw it into the garbage bin in the back alley,
which was then picked up at 2AM every Tuesday,
perfectly disposing of the bodies.
Dayworker Jang succeeded in murdering 7 people this way.
He sent an invitation to his 8th victim, Seulwoo.
Seulwoo was lured to the Bamboo Dormitory.
On the day of the murder,
Seulwoo said his wine was more expensive than Dayworker,
and started to humiliate Dayworker for his birth secret.
Dayworker, who wasn't wearing his glasses for photosensitivity,
ended up vomiting due to the flash from the camera.
He suppressed his rage,
and returned to his room while waiting for the right time.
When Seulwoo, who was doing a livestream in the corridor,
passed by his door, he attacked him from behind.
He dragged the unconscious Seulwoo to the utility room
and as he was getting rid of the body per his routine...
There was a sudden power outage.
As he wasn't wearing his protective glasses,
the sudden bright light from the lightning caused him to faint.
Then, surprised by the sound of a police siren,
Dayworker regained his senses and immediately fled the scene.
And so, he returned to his room,
and prayed that his crime would not be revealed.
Son of the presidential candidate, Father Jang, was found dead.
The suspect Jeon Minkyo was arrested at the scene.
The murder suspect was murdered in the court?
Before a trial
The defendant of a murder case was killed
That man is a devil who murdered my son.
The bereaved
A heinous murderer?
The security guard
Nobody wanted to defend Jeon Minkyo.
The lawyer in charge
We got a divorce.
The ex-wife
I was looking for a scoop.
The assigned reporter
Jeon Minkyo is not the murderer of Son Jang.
Hey, what is this?
The truth of the case
Where you trying to cover it up?
Even though you knew, you were sitting back and watching?
