Mu-gak asks if Jae-hee knows Baek-kyung, and probes for information about him since he’s on the suspect list. Mu-gak offers to let Jae-hee see Ma-ri once before the autopsy, and Jae-hee tells him that she never mentioned having any family so he’ll be handling the funeral. Mu-gak goes to the restaurant to talk to Jae-hee, who admits to being extremely distracted and looks like he’s been crying. He takes a call from someone named Kwon (I’m assuming Chef Jae-hee), who tells him about the news from the police station, and Baek-kyung says he’ll meet him in a few minutes. Yeom is smart and figures she was only reported dead and is actually under witness protection, but Oh holds tight to his story.Ĭreepy doctor Chun Baek-kyung reads an old article from when Cho-rim’s parents were found dead, and we see that he’s bought a ticket to the Frog Troupe’s show. Oh reminds her that there was no evidence the daughter witnessed anything, and that anyway, she died when she was hit by the car that night. Yeom pleads for him to tell her where the only surviving witness is… ah, so she doesn’t know that he’s taken her in as his daughter.

They know each other from previous Barcode Killer investigations, and Yeom tells Oh about the murderer’s latest victim, but he reminds her that he’s no longer a cop - he just works security now. Aw, these two are so cute.ĭetective Oh runs into Lieutenant Yeom at the station, but neither of them seem happy to see each other. She brings him his favorite steamed buns, but that only sparks more interrogation about why she was in that part of town, and she blames the Frog Troupe. But there’s no bite in his bark, and Cho-rim seems to know it by the way she aegyos him.

When Cho-rim gets home, her (adopted) father is on his way out, but he takes time to remind Cho-rim that she only has seven months left to give acting a try, then she promised to quit. Yeom asks permission to include one more person on her team, and handpicks Mu-gak, to everyone’s surprise (including Mu-gak). Detective Kang motions over his three lackeys, but when the police chief orders Lieutenant Yeom to head the team, the three hilariously sidle over to stand next to her instead. The Chief of Police comes to inspect the scene, and orders a special investigation team to be created for this case. She asks Mu-gak how he knew the girl was in the river, but he just silently looks over towards Cho-rim (which the sharp-eyed Yeom catches). They call Lieutenant Yeom to the scene, and she curses as she confirms that Ma-ri has a barcode etched into her wrist - it’s definitely the Barcode Killer again. Mu-gak calls to say he’s found the missing girl, so they all head to the riverbank where her car is being pulled from the water.Īs Cho-rim watches from a distance, the detectives open the car door to find Ma-ri’s body in the car, as they feared. He’s enjoying that too much for it to be entirely accidental, hee. Out in the mountains, the chief (whose name is Detective Kang) directs his men as they search by using a bullhorn to project his voice, hilariously aiming it right at his detectives’ ears. Cho-rim looks again, and points to the river. He takes the pieces of the glasses, and redirects her attention back to Ma-ri’s scent trail. Her loud reaction irritates him and he reminds her that he just saved her life. For the second time he holds her close a bit longer than necessary, and they both seem intensely aware of the other before they pull apart.Īs Mu-gak steps backwards nervously, he trods on Cho-rim’s sunglasses where she dropped them breaking them clean in half. She follows the scent and gets too lose to the drop-off, losing her footing, and Mu-gak quickly swings her away from the edge and into his arms. Standing at the site of the accident, Cho-rim stares as she watched the missing girl Ma-ri’s signature scent ride from the ground behind Mu-gak, wafting off the road and toward the river below. But there’s still a killer on the loose, and the search for the truth unearths more questions than answers as danger looms closer and closer. Rather than be put off by each other’s oddities, their confessions create a unique sort of kinship, even as they both start to realize their growing attraction.


Our duo grows closer as they work on Mu-gak’s case and Cho-rim’s audition, and they both finally come clean about how their past traumas have affected them. 111 ApJanuGirl Who Sees Smells: Episode 3 by LollyPip
