...They don’t know, they don’t realize it because their eyes are covered so they can’t see and their minds are dark so they can’t realize it....
^^^– Isaiah 44:18^^^
...1994...
The place is a church. A lot of church people are happily preparing an event. One of the women asks where the other three are. We find out that the other three kids are drawing something on a wall. They drew themselves, they write their names under their drawings and the teacher calls for them to come inside. It looks like the teacher is one of their mothers?
The huge event starts. Cars drive up and the people getting out of the car are the pastor, the chairman, and the candidate. Inside, we see all the little kids singing a delightful Christmas song. But one of the girls forgets her line, she starts counting 1-2-3-4-5. The pastor looks at her.
Girl – 29 – 30- 31 – 31 is red. That man and that woman are all red.
Everyone dead in the church, mom is all red as well.
The pastor and the girl in a separate area. The pastor asks the ghost what he is doing and holds a branch over the little girl. He reads a verse in the bible to remove the ghost from her body, in the name of God, leave this child’s body!
But the girl stands up and says that this pastor killed 31 innocent people and tried to change the King of the country. A lot of people dying in the church, the girl looks around, perhaps everyone died by poison? But the girl slightly smiles as she sees all of this death around her.
The police come in, a lot of people died, it is a mass killing. They think the people killed themselves by their own will, perhaps they drank something? They will have an investigation later. But the numbers in the will and the dead people aren’t matching, perhaps they have some survivors.
Dad running with a little girl, he tells her don’t look back, don’t look at anything. But the girl hears a ringing and points at something. He lets her go and she runs over to something that is buried. This girl still hears a ringing sound and unburies some shaman artifacts. One artifact is a bell that she picks up and puts to her ear. She tells the man that she hears a ringing bell sound.
...THE PRESENT...
Gianna with this same bell around her wrist. She is happily eating street food hot spicy rice cake, but then someone runs behind her, there is some kind of altercation. A man chases a woman with a baby, the policewoman wants to try and find out what happened, but he attacks her as well so Gianna throws him around with Judo and handcuffs him.
But then Titan, the policeman comes up, he is holding the baby now and says that Gianna should release the man and he will release the baby. He doesn’t look like an abductor right; I have a poem to recite…
He starts reciting the poem, but then Gianna hits him and takes the baby. Titan tells her to wait, wait, madam, what is the name of the baby? How old is she? The lady keeps screaming to come to her. Titan says that this baby is 11 months old and her name is Yuna.
This woman was crazy, she abducts kids over and over again. Her child died and she went crazy. Gianna apologizes to Titan, she is really sorry, she didn’t know he was a police officer. But he says he forgot about it, even her punch, he forgot it already, it didn’t affect him at all. She thinks that it was a hard punch though… But Titan keeps talking, he gives her a lesson, what you see on the surface is not the truth. Everything you see isn’t always the truth.
He walks off and throws his scarf around his shoulder as he leaves.
Gianna stares at him as he walks away. She wonders who he is because this is the first time she has seen someone like him. One of the policemen says that all the policemen in Korea want to punch Titan because he is such an a-hole.
Meanwhile, Titan is in pain, his solar plexus hurts from her punch, so he starts to do some yoga to relieve it. His Sister, Luna sits happily on the couch, she is so happy that she got a gift from her brother. The gift is a camera. The sister wants to know if her brother made trouble before. Titan says that he doesn’t eat dinner with the regular police and he doesn’t understand how they don’t catch criminals. The sister starts to train the brother in interview skills to keep him from bragging so much. She thinks he can’t survive this harsh world without her and tells him to be good.

...POLICE STATION...
A man is looking for his 22-year-old daughter. He thinks she is abducted, she never drinks or stays out late. But the cops think that young people do things like this. Gianna tells him to go home safely and thinks that her dad is the same. He wants her to call all the time. But the other cop says it has only been 4 hours, not 4 days.
Gianna holds the picture. She falls asleep and starts to see something strange, she heels a drum and is being followed in the woods. Then someone tries to strangle her from behind with a wire, she sees some flowers. Then she thinks that someone dies, but the last sense they lose is their hearing. Gianna says that she only hears the whistling when she is killed. This is the 59th death that she has seen. She wakes up with a jump and says that the man’s daughter is dead. A mountain man trapped her neck, there was a white flower and whistling. She thinks that she never wants to see someone’s death again.
Then we see Gianna as a child. Someone gives her a rice cake, but she touches the woman on accident and says the baby is strangling on the neck. She coughs. Later the woman confronts her, why did she say that before! Because of you! My baby was fine before you said something! My baby is gone! Just die, you devil child!
She attacks Gianna but then the father runs up to protect her. They walk away and Gianna thinks that she is a bad person. But Gianna’s dad says that she knows that Gianna tried to help that woman. Gianna thinks there is a ghost stuck to her, but her dad just kneels and tells her that she is a little different from other people, they aren’t hating her, she is just different. Gianna says that she hates it and they hug.
Back to the present, Gianna is at the missing girl’s house. The father wants to know if they finished checking everything. He tells the Giana that his daughter is scared of everything, she doesn’t even turn off her light, he is worried about her, what if she is abducted to someplace dark. Do you think she is okay? She should be okay, even if she is abducted and sold to an island, right? On her 100-day celebration, she grabbed the thread, so she should live long.
...POLICE STATION...
Titan is sitting in a briefing. But he stands up, he wants to ask a question! But the instructor tells him to sit. He keeps asking questions and tells the instructor all about the case. He has a similar case. Titan goes to the front and starts talking about his cases, he thinks these cases are the same, it is a serial killer. There is no violence or sexual crime, it is just someone who likes to kill. Someone who can’t date anyone…Titan looks at a bald man who sits in the first row….and someone with sexual problems….Again, Titan looks at the man. The man yells, why do you keep looking at me!
So, Titan gets back to the case. He thinks the criminal is confident now, so he might visit that crime scene again.
A man looking at Giana while she is at a crime scene. But he runs off and takes a taxi. While in the taxi, the taxi driver tells the man that a young woman disappeared. He is scared to drive his taxi around. The man starts cursing at the driver, so the driver just shuts up and starts driving. He turns on some music, but the man wants to taxi driver to turn it off. Can’t he just shut up! The taxi screeches to a halt.
Titan says the victim should have a car, the crimes are all spread around, maybe he is a taxi driver?
The taxi driver is upset and puts on some gloves. He turns around, but then he sees a police car driving by. He snaps out of his craziness and starts to drive the man to his destination again.
Gianna goes to a place in the woods that says Fire warning. She remembers this from her vision. She asks a woman nearby if she heard any screaming sounds and the woman said she didn’t because they go to bed at sundown. Gianna keeps walking around and sees the taxi driver, she tells him that she is there to ask him some questions.
Titan looking at CCTV. He thinks he saw the same taxi in both videos. This taxi just circles around the crime scene. It is the same license number, he must be the killer.
Back to the taxi driver, Gianna starts asking him questions. Has he seen this woman? But then the taxi driver starts to tick. Gianna remembers the sound of the tick from her vision. She asks him if he drives during the daytime or at night and he says he drives whenever he wants to because he owns the taxi. Gianna wants to see his black box video, maybe it recorded something. The taxi driver tells her to wait for a second, he will go put the clothes in some water.
But he starts to whistle that same song as he watches Gianna from inside the building. He goes back outside and tells her to please come inside, he will show her the black box. She says okay. Inside his home are a lot of cartoon posters and candy. He shows her the black box at his desk, then leaves the room. Gianna fast-forwards the video, but then it stops in the middle, the screen goes dark. In the reflection, she sees the man putting on some gloves, they are the same gloves from her vision. She secretly picks up a pen and is about to stab him, but the windows break!
Glass goes everywhere, then Titan pups his head inside, are you Cristos, you should come with me, you are the prime suspect in the serial murders. The police take the taxi driver away and Titan gives GIANNA a happy look. But afterward he questions her, how did she come all the way there with only a picture? Titan tells her that his IQ is 167 and it took him 4 days to find this place, so how did she get here before him. She says that he won’t believe her, but then the forensics team comes. They have 48 hours, they need a confession, or they need to find evidence. If they fail, then the monster will be released.
The man is in the interrogation room hooked up to a liar detector test, he is being questioned.
Meanwhile, Gianna goes back home. Her dad was worried about her, but she just lays on the couch and goes to sleep. He tells her to clean up and go to her room, but she says she just wants to sleep a little bit then she tells him that she saw it again, she saw it, but she couldn’t do anything. Dad, how would you feel if I disappeared? He says he will die. Gianna thinks that dad will be the same, he is just waiting for his daughter, he won’t be able to sleep. She thinks that she is useless…use-less. She falls asleep and her dad puts a blanket on her. He tells her, my daughter, you hurt a lot today, it was a hard day for you.
Titan’s sister, Luna. She looks at a missing case on the computer, concerned.
POLICE STATION
Titan and another cop talk about the case. Detective Edric tells Titan that this taxi guy cleans everything, so there is no evidence. They went inside the interrogation room and the taxi driver pretending that he is innocent and quiet. Titan sits across from the killer and asks him what his hobby is. He has no particular hobby. He likes cartoons like Toy Story 3, what is his favorite color…green. What is his ideal woman…what are you doing now? He says he wants to know about him more, just say all the things that come to his mind. Consider it like a blind date. Titan starts putting on some lipstick or chapstick and Detective Edric says that Titan is looking to flip this killer’s switch.
He keeps interrogating him, the man likes clean things. But then Titan spills something on him and the man’s tick comes back. Titan asks the man when he broke his arm, it feels like he broke it several times. Did someone hit him? Who did it? The taxi driver says he doesn’t remember, it was a long time ago. We find out that this killer didn’t have parents and was in several foster homes.
The tick comes out even more and Titan tells the taxi to remember what happened. The taxi driver starts to remember all the abuse he suffered as a child. He says he wants to go home, but Titan tell him to keep thinking about it and the man yells for someone to take Titan out. Titan asks where the girl is, if he tells him, then he will take him out from this room. The man asks, if he tells him, will he really release him from the room?
The man says that he killed all the women…does he expect him to say all those things? It isn’t him, not everyone with a poor past becomes a criminal, that kind of idea makes the world bad.
Titan gets back up and goes back to his side of the desk. The man says this guy is a fun detective, he doesn’t know why he is suspected, but they need to bring some evidence or let him go. Titan brings out the shoes and tells him his shoes are very dirty. Why are they so dirty when he is so clean?
The woman is still hanging from a tree and we see Titan tell the police to investigate everything about those shoes.
Titan’s sister is there to talk about something, but he tells her he has to leave.
Titan goes to a botanist to find out about a certain flower. Then they start to search the mountains. Someone yells, they found the body! And we see the girl. They talk about how she died so fast, she couldn’t’ even close her eyes. They close her eyes for her, but they see her hand. Her hand closed strangely, they say to check the blood marks under her nails. Meanwhile, Gianna sees the flower on the ground and detective in station see neck scratches on the taxi driver’s neck.
The dead girl’s father is on the scene and asks Gianna if this is his daughter, he wants to see her with his own eyes. He runs up to his breathe less daughter, he says, no, no, no. Gianna watches him with pity.
