In the Theatrical Version, the girls walk away in a new shot and Tae-joo is seen grinning a bit. The comment about him getting a haircut with them is only here.

In the Director's Cut, they instead walk past him still in the previous shot. Another take of the frontal shot of him follows.

31:06-33:13 / 34:23-35:22

Through two completely different scenes, the focus here is shifted to father/daughter in the Theatrical Version vs. murder investigation in the DC.

In the Theatrical Version, Byeong-soo is seen at home having dinner. He says to his daughter that his illness is getting worse and he should probably go to a hospital or nursing home. Eun-hee refuses, saying she will take care of him. She continues by cutting his hair. Byeong-soo notices that she's put on more makeup and she hints that she's dating someone. He dodges the question about romance on his part, saying that she'll probably have to change his diapers soon. Eun-hee doesn't let that stop her from cheering him up and says about his new hairstyle that he could meet women that way now. Finally, she forces a selfie on him.

In the Director's Cut, there is an additional scene at the police station instead. Tae-joo is looking back at the old files in the office and discussing with his colleagues whether the killer would still be active. Tae-joo summarizes again for his colleague that the current victim would have been strangled just as it was in each case before.

Theatrical Version	Director's Cut

39:48 / 41:52-44:46

Only in the DC, Byeong-soo drops by the police academy again here and makes some comments on the old case for the young recruits. They eagerly take notes as they do so. Byeong-soo says that the killer would brag about his deeds. In addition, there are obvious differences between the acts of that time and those of today, so they must be two different perpetrators. A policeman asks what the killer's goal was, and after a moment's hesitation, Byeong-soo asks somewhat aggressively why they want to know that from him. Besides, they could read everything in old newspapers. Inspector Byeong-man observes this suspiciously from the background.

174 sec (= 2:54 min)

Alternative.
42:10-42:31 / 47:08-47:39

Another re-cut to Byeong-soo. The conversation then goes into a bit more detail in the DC: only here does Byeong-soo say, grinning, that the new murders of women could "never" be traced to the same killer. Inspector Byeong-man, on the other hand, wishes it were the same culprit.

Director's Cut 10.2 sec longer.

Theatrical Version longer.
51:18-52:23 / 56:50

Only in the Theatrical Version does Byeong-soo do some training here (push-ups and handstands). He comments on this that he must be prepared for a physical confrontation with Tae-joo. Regarding the strength of his hands, we see as short inserts how he used to strangle people. At the same time, however, he admits to himself that the last time he killed was 17 years ago and that Tae-joo is younger and stronger. Sobered, he realizes that he can't crush an apple as easily today as he used to - and just bites into it.

+ 65.2 sec (= 1:05 min)

52:23 / 56:50-56:57

In the DC, Byeong-soo prepares the injections a little earlier instead. To this, he comments that he'd better kill Tae-joo as soon as possible, since he knows about his past as a murderer.

Also a potential censorship intrusion: the camera moves back longer in the room and so you can see Tae-joo's bare butt.

Censorship.
56:54 / 61:30-62:17

Byeong-soo and Tae-joo brawl for considerably longer before being surprised by Eun-hee. Tae-joo is able to break free initially, and Byeong-soo's jab lands in the table. Byeong-soo says he'll get it and attacks again. They choke each other on the floor for a while.

76:16-76:18 / 81:39-82:08
