Noli Me Tangere

A potted makahiya plant sits near the window sill of a murdered police investigator's house. The plant, a 'gift' from an unknown serial killer/drug dealer, has the words 'Noli Me Tangere' engraved on its pot. Touch me not. But ironically, the death of the detective sparks a deeper investigation of the root of the murder, including previous cases of suicide where victims commonly had traces of a specific drug in their bodies before their death.

Det. Baek Dok Sa immerses himself on field, emotionally attached as he is to the case. As it progresses, friction starts to strain the relationship between the veteran and the office-bound SAT captain. But Dok Sa has his leads; he already knows who he needs to pin down and will not be hindered.

By the end of the episode, the case is closed, the veteran and the captain exchanging honorifics to each other, Nam Ye Ri ripping the plastic off a cactus plant and getting pricked (he told you so, sweetie), and the captain sitting alone in the deserted bar, silently crying over a picture he holds in his hand.

Who is it?!
