### History

Lee Jinho was a psychopath ever since his youth. His parents took him to many doctors, clinics and psychologists that confirmed it. Jinho had a sudden shift of behavior before the day of their demise. He began liking normal child-like things, and his parents were pleased. Then a fire happened, killing everyone inside his house, and Jinho was an orphan. Detective Kang checked up on him from time to time throughout his youth.

In his past, Jinho was an art student at the Kubon University of Arts. While waiting for the bus stop, Jinho runs into Detective Kang, who worked on the case of his dead family. Detective Kang congratulates Jinho on working hard, and tells him to not be a stranger. Jinho heads to his new job at the Rose Motel, which is actually a hidden brothel. His job is a receptionist, but in reality it is to watch the security cameras and make sure police don't discover the operation. Jinho accepts the job even with the low pay. The boss tells him that the only rule is not to sleep with any of the girls working there.

Jinho gets a call from one of the girls (Dohyee), who asks if the uncle (the motel owner) is away. When he replies yes, she says there is an emergency in suite 301. Jinho arrives to see the girl sitting on a bed with a plate of sushi she got from a previous client. She sleeps with Jinho, and they become boyfriend and girlfriend soon.

Later, the girl carries Oh Dongseok up to her room. She gets the keys from Jinho, and Dongseok sees the dating rings and gets angry. Jinho recieves a call from someone saying that there is an emergency in suite 103, and he has to come quickly. Jinho arrives to see a confused Dohyee and Dongseok in bed together. Dongseok is angry at Jinho for sleeping with Dohyee, and he wants to antagonize him.

Dongseok then tries to beat Jinho but he is tossed to the ground. Jinho tells Dongseok that the police will arrive soon, and he needs to get out before he is caught. Shortly afterwards the detective bursts in to find Jinho folding sheets like a normal motel worker. He tells Jinho they got an anyonymous call about a disturbance, but everything seems to be fine. The two ask if they knew the other would be there, and they pretend as though they don't. Dohyee becomes closer to Jinho but he feels distance between them, like he is the only person in the world.

Dongseok introduces Jinho to his boss, Cheon Il-seok. Cheon is looking for a translator to stay by his side while he does business overseas. Jinho asks Cheon if he has some goal in life that he lives for. Cheon tells him that he is looking for a person like himself, since at times he feels that he is the only person in a world full of animals. Jinho feels the knot start to unravel. Dongeok takes Jinho out for drinks and tells him he is similar to Cheon, but Jinho doesn't notice it.With this realization, Jinho murders his girlfriend and goes to the New International Branch.

Jinho tells Cheon about his dream, and Cheon is impressed with him. Cheon allows Jinho to drive his car around, although his wife thinks he won’t last long. He is only ever affectionate to his wife.

The Nammun gang have been causing some issues for the New International Branch. Cheon meets with a congressman to help ward them off when he gets shocking news. The Nammun gang stabbed his wife, and Jinho took a hatchet to murder them all. When Cheon returns, he makes Jinho the number three member of the gang, and all affairs are to be supervised by him.

Dongseok knows that Jinho was the one who stabbed Cheon’s wife and pinned the blame on the Nammun gang but Jinho convinces him to keep quiet about it, and he earns Dongseok's loyalty. Jinho asks Dongseok why he kept quiet about this, and says they need to have a talk. Gwak Man-ho tries to deal with Jinho but he is murdered, causing Jinho to rise to the No.2 position. During a meeting with the commissioner general Jinho murders Cheon, causing him to become the boss of the New International Branch. He asks to meet Daniel Smith, a well known drug lord.

The detective confronts Jinho at his home and asks why he killed his parents.
