Mad Place — Chapter 14

I...

...I KNOW THIS SMELL.

THIS REPULSIVE...

...MUSTY...

...AND FAMILIAR SMELL...

...OF A CRIME SCENE.

BUT WHO IS THIS?

KIM JINTAEK?

THE HOMELESS MAN?

ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING?

SIHWAN-

?!

IT WAS A DREAM...?

HAA

I MUST BE...

...GOING MAD.

Episode 14

WHERE IS HE, BY THE WAY?

IS HE SLEEPING INSIDE?

ANYONE THERE?

I DON'T REMEMBER CALLING THE CLEANERS THIS WEEK.

AND I DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS PACKAGING...

WAS THERE A MIX UP?

I TOOK IT WITHOUT EVEN THINKING...

I SHOULD CALL THEM AND RETURN-

Mr. Ha Ideun

WOW!

THAT WAS FAST!!

THANKS FOR GETTING THESE FOR ME!

YOU...?

BUT HOW?

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL OR LEAVE THE HOUSE.

I'M NOT. BUT THE NEWBIE DETECTIVE IS!

DON'T WORRY, I GOT DETECTIVE JANG'S PERMISSION AS WELL.

WHILE I WAS AT IT, I REQUESTED THEIR REGULAR SERVICE.

SINCE I'LL BE STAYING HERE FOR A WHILE.

REGULAR SERVICE? WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING ME?

BUT YOU WERE SO BUSY!

AND I ALREADY GOT THE OKAY FROM THE POLICE, SO WHY NOT?

WHAT FOR? IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE LEAVING THE HOUSE OR ANYTHING.

WELL...

WOULD YOU PREFER TO LEND ME YOUR CLOTHES INSTEAD, PROSECUTOR?

SEE?

I THOUGHT SO.

...NEVER MIND.

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN FIT YOU...

WITH ME, HE'S ALWAYS DEMANDING...

ONE CONDITION AFTER ANOTHER.

SO, THAT'S A YES?

WHATEVER.

...BUT HE DOES WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS.

I DON'T LIKE THIS.

LATE!

LATE!!

I'M SUPER LATE!!!

EVEN AFTER A FULL DAY'S REST, I'M STILL TIRED FROM WORKING LATE THE OTHER NIGHT!

BUT WHAT AM I TO SAY? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE OVERWORKING!

THERE ARE NO EXCUSES!

JUST GET IN THERE AND APOLOGIZE!

FLING

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY!!

OFFICER?

OH, HELLO!

I'VE BEEN... HAVING TROUBLE...

OFFICER, BREATHE! HAVE A CUP OF WATER!

HERE.

HUFF...

T-THANK YOU...!!

YOU SEE... I...

WAKING UP, AND...

...I-I'M TERRIBLY...

...HM?

...AND WHO'S THIS?

VISITOR Northwestern Seoul DPO

AND THIS IS MY YOUNGEST PRINCESS!

AWW, A POODLE?

NO, A COCKER SPANIEL!

SHE'S SO CUTE!

HOW OLD IS SHE?

JUST THREE MONTHS OLD!

I BROUGHT HIM ALONG IN CASE DETECTIVE JANG NEEDED TO SEE ME AFTERWARD...

BUT I WAS WORRIED THAT HE'D BE A BURDEN AT THE OFFICE.

AND THIS IS MY FAMILY!

THAT ONE'S A POODLE!

IS THIS ALSO A COCKER SPA-?

BUT THEY'RE GETTING ALONG SURPRISINGLY WELL.

EFFORTLESSLY CHATTING AWAY WITH SOMEONE HE'S ONLY JUST MET...

A POODLE...

FORMING A QUICK BOND...

A SPANIEL...

PERHAPS HE'S NOT ALL THAT WEIRD.

WELL, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M SEEING HIM INTERACT WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE INVESTIGATION.

...OH, LOOK!

THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE MR. GU!

THE QUESTION IS...

Gu Sehyuk

...WHY ISN'T HE LIKE THAT WITH ME?

HOW WAS IT...

...LIVING IN THIS HOUSE ALONE THESE LAST TWO YEARS?

WHY... WOULD HE ASK THAT?

PROSECUTOR, WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR LUNCH?

SINCE YOU HAVE A GUEST...

OH...

YOU TWO GO AHEAD.

OH, BUT... WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WOULD YOU LIKE US TO BRING LUNCH BOXES FOR YOU?

NO, THANKS.

ALRIGHT.

Prosecutor Gu Sehyuk

RIGHT.

I CAN'T TAKE HIM OUTSIDE...

IT'S ABOUT TIME DETECTIVE JANG CALLED...

GIVE IT TO ME.

ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME...

...YOU STOPPED BULLYING ME?

I WAS JUST MESSING AROUND...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO ON EDGE ALL THE TIME.

I'M SAYING, STOP MESSING AROUND.

YOU AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP.

ARE YOU LIKE THIS TO THE OTHER SUSPECTS?

OR NO, NOT JUST SUSPECTS...

YOU'RE LIKE THIS TO EVERYONE YOU MEET, AREN'T YOU?

SUCH A JERK...

...WHAT?

WHAT DID YOU JUST-

YOU CAN BE A LITTLE FRIENDLY, YOU KNOW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUSH EVERYONE AWAY LIKE THAT.

THIS AGAIN...

WHAT'S HIS DEAL?

WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT?

AS IF YOU WANT TO MEDDLE IN MY LIFE...

...AS IF...

...YOU ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME.

LOOK...

I AM MEDDLING.

BECAUSE I WANT THINGS TO WORK OUT FOR YOU.

YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF....

...AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

THE RESULTS ARE OUT.

Detective Jang the results are out. all negative. 12:14 pm

ALL NEGATIVE.

WHAT'S THIS NONSENSE NOW?

THIS MEANS HA IDEUN DIDN'T MEET KIM FOR THE DRUGS.

WE'LL HAVE TO...

...LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE WAS INVOLVED WITH THE TRAFFICKING.

SO YOU'RE SAYING...
