Do bad people deserve to be killed?
One day, a criminal who is wanted for murder snakes into the hometown of Dong-ju and Yong-in. Dong-ju asks whether killing the criminal sounds just, which confuses Yongin. But he has no other choice but to find the criminal for his sister because she said, “You’d better find him, or I will kill you instead.” Around this time, another uninvited guest appears before Yong-in, which is the police detective who pretends to be nice at first. As the time goes by, the detective reveals the true purpose of his visit. He tells that he has a map drawn by dead Dr. Kim, a psychiatrist, that shows the whereabouts of psychopath killers. The detective blackmails Yong-in, saying if he doesn’t make his psychopath sister to kill the criminal, he will arrest her for killing Dr. Kim and expose her true identity to the world. Why does the police want the criminal to be murdered instead of a proper legal punishment?
