Missing: The Other Side (2020) s01e05 Episode Script
Episode 5
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
In the cold morning breeze
A seagull cries all alone…
Did you forget the rest?
This is my photo.
So it's mine.
No, it's Mommy's.
Why is this yours when it's my photo?
You're mine, so this photo is mine too.
That tickles!
You're mine!
You're mine! You're mine, Wook!
My beloved son, Wook.
We'll have to be apart for a while.
If you play with your friends
and listen to your teachers,
I promise to come back for you.
My son, Wook.
You'll be okay even without me, right?
Ma'am, please take good care of him.
I'm not going.
My mom said she'll come.
Tell her not to take me away.
If I hear from your mom,
I promise I will call you.
-Mommy…
-Let's go. We'll call you.
She said she'll come.
I promise I'll let you know.
Ma'am, has my mom come yet?
No, not yet.
Once my mom comes,
please call the children's home director.
I'll rush over here.
Okay.
DEMOLITION UNDERWAY
Mommy…
Mommy!
Mommy…
Mommy…
This is me.
Please understand.
That locket means the world to her.
Is it hers?
Yes. Her son's photo is inside.
Auntie, does it hurt?
I'm fine.
The wound has almost healed.
That locket is special to you, right?
It is.
This is the only photo
I have left of my son.
Here, I'll show you.
Isn't he handsome?
Yes!
It's big bro!
Big bro?
You're right.
He must be all grown up by now,
since it's been more than 20 years.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Why do you keep looking behind you?
To see if big bro is coming.
-Let's see.
-It's cute.
Hold this, Ye-won.
And Ji-u, you hold this.
-Mom, what do you think?
-It's beautiful.
You're thinking
about your mom again, aren't you?
-No.
-Come on, I know you are.
Every time you zone out,
you think about your mom.
Do you miss your mom?
I said no.
Hey, don't you miss your mom?
You can't miss someone you've never known.
We wouldn't recognize each other
even if we bumped into each other.
She left me as soon
as she gave birth to me.
How could she recognize me?
What about you?
Do you think you'll recognize her
if you see her?
Of course, right away!
That's why they say blood
is thicker than water.
So the moment you see her,
what will you say to her?
I don't know.
Come on. You always talk about your mom.
Then what will you say if you meet her?
I have nothing to say.
I don't think I'd be sad
even if she were dead.
It's not because I hate her.
It's just that I feel nothing for her.
She's like a stranger to me.
I didn't recognize my mom,
even though I said I'd know right away.
We bumped into each other so many times,
yet she didn't recognize me, either.
She should've lived a good life
after abandoning me.
Why is she here?
You're dead meat.
Hey, what are you doing?
Let go of me!
We can't kill him anyway.
Don't waste your energy on him.
-You should take him outside.
-Yes.
Let's just go.
Okay, let go of me.
Think about Jun-su's mom!
Come on!
Okay, fine. Let me go.
Keep talking.
What were you saying?
I told you. That man is the Grim Reaper.
There's no such thing here.
Then what is he?
I can't stab him,
and my punches don't hurt him.
He made a person disappear
right in front of me.
Plus, he knew everything about me.
My house, my phone number,
and even my criminal record.
-He sure knows a lot about you.
-Right? He literally knows everything.
Listen. There's a saying that goes,
"Doing too much makes things worse."
If you add feet to a drawing of a snake,
it'll ruin the whole thing.
In other words,
knowing too much will get you killed.
So I was right about him.
He's the Grim Reaper, isn't he?
Call him now.
Beating you up wouldn't be
punishment enough for you!
Why can't the world
be rid of monsters like you?
You will never see the sun again.
Whether you leave this village or not,
it won't happen.
She looks like a part-timer I know.
Which store is this?
I can't disclose
personal information like that.
I'll check again to see
if she's the same girl,
so get the money ready.
What is that?
Wook!
Ta-da! How does the office look?
I put a new computer here and over there…
Wook, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Did something happen, you ask?
So much happened
that I can't even remember it all.
Can you look into that for me?
There's a name,
but there's no other record.
And no resident ID.
That's weird.
When the patriarchal family system
was abolished in 2008
and changed
to a family registration system,
there were some errors in the system.
Some data was deleted,
as you can see here.
But that was ten years ago,
so most of the records have been fixed.
This is a rare case.
Maybe she didn't put in a request
to have it corrected.
Your mother, I mean.
Who is it?
Who's there?
-Did I hear it wrong?
-What is it?
Is someone here?
You can't leave Jun-su alone.
He's sleeping now.
You were by his side all day
and you jump at the slightest noise.
I'm more worried about you.
He was so scared this afternoon.
He might wake up
in the middle of the night.
Are you getting off work now?
Yes.
Where is Woo Il-seok?
In the shed.
Look at you.
Who killed you?
How would I know
when the Grim Reaper doesn't know?
Are you saying I'm the Grim Reaper?
If not, what are you?
You said you were different from me.
It's none of your business.
Just tell me who killed you.
I don't know. I'm serious.
That woman begged me to spare her life
and suddenly someone struck me
from behind.
Help me!
So who was it?
I don't know.
By the time I came to my senses,
I was already in this hellhole.
Hey.
Did it ever occur to you that
you might have ruined this place?
Do you think the world
will change for the better
if I disappear?
Yes.
I don't know about other places,
but I'm sure this place
will be better off without you.
Hey.
Are they done running forensics
on Jang Myeong-gyu's cell phone?
Not yet.
I haven't seen you in days.
You look a mess.
-Have you been looking for Yeo-na?
-Yes.
Did you find anything?
I questioned all the bikers in the area,
but I got nothing.
There's no connection
between the two cases.
The captain has started dropping hints
to close the case.
Yes, this is Bok Min-ho
of the Crimes Division.
Where is it?
Okay.
They found an unidentified female body.
Text me the address.
Hey, Jun-ho.
Shin Jun-ho!
Wait! Stop!
Check the body.
It's been at least six months
since she died.
But it's been less than a month
since Yeo-na disappeared.
Thank you.
You're early.
You have to be diligent
in my line of work.
I might not look like it,
but I have ears everywhere,
from the police, the homeless,
to the civil servants.
Anyway, I'm glad it's not her.
She should be alive.
Let's believe she is, okay?
Okay.
Are you all right?
The kids got caught by Woo Il-seok
while trying to find these lanterns
and Jun-su's mother
was injured in the process.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
How is it your fault?
I'm actually grateful.
The way those colorful sky lanterns
danced in the night sky
and flew away reminded me of us.
There was something sad
but beautiful about it.
What Woo Il-seok did
was his fault.
But what's unfortunate is that
the lanterns you sent up into the sky
can't brighten the outside world.
But I sent up so many of them.
I'm sure one of them
reached the outside world.
Someone could have picked it up.
It's all useless.
How do you know that?
What if someone reaches out to me
after seeing the message?
I know this place is different,
but I can't just sit still.
I must do something.
I must at least have hope
to make a miracle happen.
Do you think it's easy for me…
to give up on hope?
Everything here is useless.
Do you even have a sense of fashion?
Sense of fashion, my foot.
Why are you going through my clothes
after having a good meal?
Well, we have no choice,
so let's go with this.
This and this.
I have a lot on my mind.
Are you planning a vacation or something?
We have to catch Woo Il-seok.
Wearing this?
Put this on too.
By the way, Mr. Jang.
Are you good at acting?
Of course.
If I wasn't stuck here,
who knows what I might have become?
I was talented and handsome,
so people used to tell me
I should become an actor.
Come on.
Not anyone can become an actor.
Anyone?
Do you think I'm just anyone?
And what is it that I lack?
Tell me.
Don't get angry at me…
How was my acting?
Not bad, right?
Gosh, you startled me!
Hey, kid.
This is what you call experience.
Turn off the light.
You really got me.
Put away the clothes. They're in my way.
You can wear this tomorrow.
Hand me the bamboo pillow.
Are you sure you can do this?
How about I do all the talking
and you just help me
make the story believable?
You talk too much.
Stop worrying about me.
Just go and find the person
who killed Woo Il-seok.
Running simulations in your head
and actually doing it
are very different things.
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
My mouth hurts!
I've been lying for over ten years
while living in Duon Village.
I act like a ghost before the dead
and pretend I can't see anything
before the living.
You've been with me. Can't you tell?
-Okay, fine.
-Just focus on your thing.
Hey, wait!
You're supposed to be a rich man,
so you need something lavish.
But you don't have that
rich look.
There's not even a single piece of
gold jewelry on you.
It's a prop, so treat it with care.
Is this real gold?
Careful!
You petty kid.
I bet this is a fake.
How can I help you?
Well, the thing is,
I'm planning to erect a building
in front of the convenience store
over there.
A building with 30 studios.
It'll have five to six
security cameras at the entrance
since tenants these days
prioritize safety.
So why are you here?
I'm still talking.
Based on my research,
there are about three sex offenders
living in this area.
All of them are wearing ankle monitors.
They are under our watch,
so you don't need to worry.
How can I not worry?
I saw on the news that
some cut them off and run away
without the officers knowing.
Those kinds of accidents are very rare.
See? So they do happen!
Not in our neighborhood.
Don't just tell me that. Show me proof.
I just want to know
if they're staying out of trouble.
Check on them now.
Okay.
Sir, you should see this.
-One of the monitors is off.
-Call the probation officer.
Is there a problem?
Did someone run away?
It's not a big deal.
We'll take care of it,
so you can leave now, sir.
Leave? I can't do that.
I'm not going anywhere
until you show me proof.
Actually, I trust that you'll
get the job done, officers.
Make sure to catch the fugitive.
Goodbye.
What? So it's my daughter, Hyeon-ji?
Okay, I'll see you there in 30 minutes.
I'll pay you for sure!
Why isn't he coming?
Hello? Are you here?
I can't see you. Where are you?
I got into an accident on my way there.
I'm at the hospital now.
I don't think I can make it.
How bad is it?
Then tell me where the store is
so I can go check it out.
That's difficult for me to do.
What do you mean?
You're making things difficult for me.
I even prepared the money.
If you're using my daughter
to pull a trick on me--
How can you say that?
I even got into an accident
on the way to meet you.
I sent you a picture, so check it out.
Where is this place?
She looks exactly like the girl
in the flyer, right?
So tell me where this place is.
I'll wire you the deposit
and send you the rest once I get there.
Okay? Yes.
Turn right at the convenience store.
Keep going straight and you'll see
the house with a green gate.
Who is this?
I'm Kim Wook-hyeon,
a lawyer at Taebaek Law Firm.
I came to tell you something.
What is a lawyer doing here?
I came to ask a few things
regarding the incident
that happened here a few days ago.
We have nothing to say. Please leave.
Ma'am, wait.
Hello?
Damn, I didn't even get to say
what I had to say.
SECURITY CAMERA IN USE
Sir.
Do you know Kim Wook-hyeon,
a lawyer at Taebaek Law Firm?
Okay. Thanks.
I KNOW EVERYTHING.
SHOULD I REPORT TO THE POLICE?
2,580,000 WON
YOU Convenience Store,
Uyeong-gu, Sooeon-dong, Seoul.
What do you mean you know everything?
I know
what the intruder did that day.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure you know better than me.
The police are looking for him.
Looking for who?
I don't know what you're talking about.
His name is Woo Il-seok.
He disappeared from this house.
The police think he ran away,
but that's not true.
As a lawyer,
I suggest you turn yourself in.
If I file a report
or the police find out everything,
things will be disadvantageous for you.
What are you talking about?
I don't know such a person!
I'm sure it was self-defense.
But in the end,
it was excessive self-defense.
If you get arrested, you'll be sentenced
to four to seven years.
That doesn't include abandoning the body.
I'm sure you know
what I'm saying, don't you?
We don't have much time.
Don't ruin the rest of your life
because of a jerk like Woo Il-seok.
That's what I came to tell you.
Stay still!
You know what will happen
if you call the cops.
I'll find you again.
Honey, it's okay.
You're safe.
It's okay.
Thank you.
-Have a nice day.
-Bye.
Excuse me.
Can I help you?
When does the other part-timer come?
I'm the only part-timer here.
The store owner works at night.
Is the owner a woman?
How old is she?
The owner is a man,
and he's in his fifties.
What's the matter?
Just one second.
Right.
I'm looking for this girl.
Min Na-yeong?
It's me.
Look.
MIN NA-YEONG
But the face is someone else's.
Has this been edited?
I'm looking for a girl.
Someone told me
that he saw her working here.
Do you know it's illegal to edit
someone's face without their consent?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
My apologies. It was an urgent matter.
I won't be buying.
The number you have dialed is unavailable.
Please leave a message…
"Give me my money back."
"You crook."
Gosh, you should have told me first.
You have his number, right?
I do.
But he won't pick up.
And he won't reply to my text, either.
Give me his number
and the bank account you wired to.
I've only caused you so much trouble.
How will I find Hyeon-ji like this?
It's not even the first time I got conned.
I really thought I found her this time.
I would have done the same if I were you.
Let's catch that bastard first.
You must have something on your mind.
You said…
you're the village head, right?
That's not exactly what I said.
How long has it been…
since Jun-su's mom came here?
How did she end up here?
We neither ask
nor talk about what happened
in the outside world.
She must've experienced
something terrible to have ended up here.
If you're that curious,
go and ask her yourself.
That law student last time
told everyone how he ended up here
even when no one asked.
He was one of a kind.
By the way,
why do you hate Jun-su's mom so much?
FAMILY REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
NAME: KIM WOOK
MOTHER: KIM HYEON-MI
-Why are you so late?
-I went to meet someone.
What did the police say?
How do you know I met with the police?
Right, I met them. At the police station.
At first, they assured me that
everything was under control,
but when they checked the system,
one of the offenders was missing.
Which makes sense,
since Woo Il-seok is here.
Only then did they start panicking
and making calls.
So? What happened next?
It's obvious, isn't it?
I told them to locate him quickly.
I'm exhausted
from being out and about all day.
Turn off the light.
Do you think I'm a remote control?
"Turn off the light.
Turn on the TV. Turn off the TV."
The necklace.
Where is the necklace?
-What?
-The necklace.
-The thing is--
-Don't tell me you lost it.
Do you know how much that cost?
It's pure gold!
I know that.
I won't pocket it. I'll give it back.
I put it somewhere safe.
Just turn off the light.
There's no road.
How could a bed-and-breakfast be here?
That jerk used a burner phone
and a fake bank account.
I always jump at the chance
of finding Hyeon-ji.
Okay. I'll look into it.
Maybe there's security camera footage
or something else.
Thanks.
Hello?
Is someone here? Okay, I should go.
Is there anyone here?
Hello.
Are you some kind of mountain spirit?
-Why do you live here all by yourself?
-Because I want to.
Why are you judging me?
Gosh, what's all this noise?
I can't sleep!
Oh, no. Are you dead?
Why would I be dead?
Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?
Hey, wake up.
What's all this? You're not dead, are you?
You're alive, right?
Cut the nonsense and wake up already!
Wow, this place is beautiful.
I think that old man
owns this whole mountain.
That's why there's only one house
in this vast area.
This whole land belongs to him, right?
Why are you staring at me like that?
What's wrong?
It hurts!
You sure you're not dead?
Are you insane?
How could I be here if I'm dead?
Why did you have to confuse me
by showing up here?
I came because you didn't answer my calls!
Nam-guk, Jang Myeong-gyu, and Choi Yeo-na.
I found something they have in common.
-Aside from Blue Sunshine Children's Home?
-Yes.
All three of them don't have
records of their birth parents.
Nam-guk said the children's home
registered his birth.
Who on earth did it?
The director of the children's home
did it for Nam-guk.
A nun registered for Choi Yeo-na.
And Jang Myeong-gyu
was found in a baby box,
so a pastor registered his birth.
They got killed because they didn't know
who their real parents were?
Ms. Cho Myeong-sun?
Yes.
I take it that you received
a call from my people?
I'm Han Yeo-hui of Choiseung Construction.
Please come in.
Go wait in the car.
CHAIRWOMAN HAN YEO-HUI ESTABLISHES
SOUTH-NORTH PEACE ORGANIZATION
You have the forensic results
from Jang Myeong-gyu's phone?
Yes. Here you are.
He searched for
Choiseung Construction a lot.
He even wrote an article about it.
I almost forgot.
Your mother told you this, right?
Jang visited your mother six months ago
and asked her who dropped him off
at the children's home.
And then?
I'm looking for my grandchild.
I believe the child might've been sent
to a children's home about 30 years ago.
It's been many years,
but I'm looking for them now.
Was the child
at the children's home I worked at?
I'm not sure.
I thought my daughter had
had a miscarriage.
But while going through her things,
I recently found evidence
she had given birth.
-Why don't you ask her yourself?
-She's dead.
It's been 27 years already.
I see.
That's why I've been looking
into several children's homes
near the convent where she stayed
when she was pregnant.
Recently, I've had many people ask me
questions about that children's home.
What do you mean?
The children who grew up there
got into an accident.
An accident?
One died in a car crash.
Why did you want to see me?
Where did you go with the chairwoman?
Why did she only take you?
Why do you want to know?
She suddenly tries to find her grandchild
and goes someplace
the secretary's office doesn't know about.
I'm worried about her.
Is she sick?
Is it dementia or cancer?
If you're curious,
ask her yourselves tomorrow.
Mr. Jang. Jong-a is leaving.
Goodbye.
Since you're here,
you must have some food.
Food?
Food? No way. Just go. You must leave now!
He might ask you to pay for the meal.
He's a money grabber. Come on.
She should eat before she goes. Sit down.
Come on, sit!
I told you she eats a lot.
She eats more than I do.
Go out and pick some lettuce leaves.
Be a man. Don't act like a petty child
and fight over food.
What does eating lettuce have
to do with being manly?
Your perception of gender roles
is so outdated.
What is he saying?
-Does Wook know too?
-What?
That you got conned.
It was that guy from last time, right?
What are you talking about?
I heard your call earlier.
You got scammed because you jumped
at the chance of finding Hyeon-ji.
By the way, who's Hyeon-ji?
Eat up. It's good to see you eating well.
Seriously?
You scolded me for eating too much,
but you made a wrap for her.
Jeez, I didn't know
you had a double standard.
I gathered a group of guys
without any criminal records.
Then what's taking so long?
I'm sorry.
Damn it. Stop apologizing to me!
If you don't kill him, I'll kill you.
Do you understand?
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
It's my business card.
Call me before you come to see me.
I'll find all the jerks who conned you.
-How?
-I'm an expert in finding people.
-Gosh!
-You can just come in. Come on in!
Do you run this place all by yourself?
It hasn't been that long.
It was Nam-guk's before.
I think I'm good at running a business.
It's more fun than I thought.
Mr. Jang, I have something to show you.
All right.
That bastard.
It's him! How did you find him?
When you met him the other day,
I took a picture just in case.
I ran his name through
the criminal database
and it turns out
he was convicted three times.
So he targeted me on purpose.
His name is Ha Chang-su?
Can you find his phone number too?
-I can find out where he is now.
-Where is he now?
Number three.
Where are you now?
-What the hell?
-I told you to study!
Instead, you're back here again?
You quit your part-time job
after only a week!
-When will you grow up?
-What's all this?
Why are you hitting me? Who are you?
Who am I?
How dare you talk to your father that way?
Can someone call the police?
He's not my father!
Chang-su!
That's crossing the line.
You always get into trouble
and now you want to call the cops?
How could you say he's not your father?
Unbelievable.
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen a family argument before?
Dad, let's leave.
You brat!
You're such an embarrassment. Come here!
Let go of me! Now!
Let go!
Let go of me!
You damned scammer!
You said you were in a hospital
after getting into an accident.
Does this look like a hospital to you?
Why are you hitting me?
I'm getting a doctor's note for this.
-I'm going to put you behind bars!
-Screw you.
Excuse me!
This guy here started hitting me
out of nowhere and…
You bastard!
I should have hit you already!
Come here. I don't even want to
use my authority on a jerk like you.
Mr. Jang, come with us.
I need to take your statement. Come on.
Go ahead, Mr. Jang.
Okay. I owe you one.
-Don't forget to pay me back.
-Of course.
That jerk!
How did you not eat until now?
Anyway, how did you know
he was at that internet café?
-That lady told me.
-Who is she?
You know the guy
who's staying at my house?
Forget it. It's complicated.
Anyway, she's something else.
She's clever.
Here you are.
-What's that?
-The money you gave him.
He gave all of it back
for a lesser sentence.
He even wanted to pay interest,
but I stopped him.
Thank you.
-You saved me again, Detective Baek.
-If something happens, call me first.
I want to find Hyeon-ji too.
Okay.
Hello?
Mr. Jang! Our plan worked.
I was waiting in front of the house
and she came out.
I followed her just in case
and saw her going into the police station.
-Do you think she went to turn herself in?
-Probably. That's what I think.
An innocent woman will get punished
because of that jerk.
She will probably get a lesser sentence,
but the abandonment of a dead body
is a separate issue.
Once they find Woo Il-seok's body,
I'll finally sleep in peace.
Come on. You've been sleeping
just fine all this time.
POLICE
I found him!
He's gone.
He left so easily
even after committing a horrible crime.
PAWNSHOP
Here.
Here's the money.
1 GOLD BABY RING,
1 GOLD NECKLACE, 2 GOLD RINGS
Please check.
It's all here.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
I'm not really in the mood this year.
But we should still do it, right?
Of course.
The kids are looking forward to it!
As am I.
Hey, you should join us too.
Give us some good ideas.
What's going on?
Memory Day is coming up.
Memory Day?
It's a day when the villagers
commemorate each other.
It's a party.
We all get together, take pictures,
eat good food,
and say good things to each other.
Wouldn't you call that a party?
What should I prepare?
Are you going to hold a special event?
A special event?
I usually prepared the food.
Mr. Jang and I did everything
that required strength.
You guys are so old-fashioned.
So tacky.
Anyway, I'm in charge of
planning this year.
How should I put this?
I want to hold
a really special event this year.
Something that we'll all remember
for a very long time.
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION'S CHAIRWOMAN HAN,
THE NO.1 RESPECTED FEMALE CEO
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION
Detective Shin. Hey, Detective Shin!
I guess I dozed off.
Go home and get some quality sleep
to keep yourself in good health.
Otherwise,
you'll end up getting exhausted.
What's all this?
This is the last thing he looked up
before he died.
And around that time,
he called Kim Nam-guk and Yeo-na.
Did you eat?
No, I'm not hungry. I should go home.
Choiseung Construction.
DETECTIVE PARK YEONG-HO
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION?
Is it Choiseung Construction again?
You asked to see me, so say something.
Don't just stare at me.
Woo Il-seok.
-He's gone.
-I know.
You came all the way here
just to say that?
You should go
if you have nothing more to say.
Wait.
When did you come here?
How long has it been?
Why do you want to know?
I came here when you were about this tall.
Why?
Who killed you?
I don't know.
You've become strangely inquisitive
since hanging around Mr. Jang.
Don't come here late at night.
And if you run into Jun-su,
don't scare him.
They checked only
because I kept asking them,
and found out he was really missing.
Their faces turned pale.
Only then did they panic
and start making calls.
It was a mess.
This is why the police get criticized.
I would have taught them a lesson
and told them to do their jobs properly.
What about the couple
who killed Woo Il-seok?
Their lawyer is negotiating
with the police.
-We'll have to wait and see.
-You're way better than the cops.
You solved so many cases
just in this past month.
You found Ha-neul. Helped Mi-ok leave.
I heard the guy
who killed Mi-ok got arrested.
Yes, he's waiting for a trial.
I didn't do much other than
follow him for a few days.
You did a lot!
Tailing someone is not easy.
By the way…
on one of the days I was following him,
I accidentally bumped into him.
When we locked eyes,
I suddenly got the chills.
Do you remember what Mi-ok said about him?
-That he was like the devil.
-Yes, exactly! He really looked like one.
There was no emotion in his eyes.
I guess Mi-ok was right about him.
He told me he wanted to kill me
because I'm pretty.
Because you're pretty,
I want to kill you.
That crazy bastard!
He's like the devil.
What is his name?
Kang Myeong-jin.
There was a name tag on his vest.
You must have been so cold.
You've been through so much.
The next morning,
there was no news of his capture,
so I went back
and left a delivery invoice.
Then the police caught him right away.
It's all thanks to Mi-ok.
You can quit if it's too hard.
You've done enough.
It is hard.
I'm not doing this because I want to.
But…
if I don't, what about my Hyeon-ji?
All the people here…
are like Hyeon-ji to me.
I'm sure she's waiting for me.
She must be waiting for me
to come find her.
Drink up.
You're in no place to worry about me.
You don't even know where your body is.
Is this how you get back at me?
Thomas, can we have some more beer?
Three o'clock?
Okay. Thanks.
If you find anything else,
please let me know.
Thanks, Mr. Choi.
Apparently, Chairwoman Han
of Choiseung Construction will donate
all her money and real estate to society
and give her shares to her grandchild.
The donation part was already on the news.
Hang on. Chairwoman Han has a grandchild?
-I thought she didn't have any children.
-It's just a rumor.
People from Choiseung are keeping quiet.
Where are you going?
I want to ask Chairwoman Han myself.
Without a warrant?
There's a company event today.
I should be able to meet her there.
Of course you'll see her there,
but you can't just go up to her
and start asking questions.
I have to at least try. I'll be back.
Hey!
He hasn't been home for three days.
Where are you, you scumbag?
Where did you hide, you rat?
PRODUCT DONATIONS
FOR WIMIN CHILDREN'S HOME
Goodness.
Chairwoman Han!
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Chairwoman Han!
I told you not to call any reporters.
I'm sorry. I did tell the PR team.
-This event is not open to the public.
-Is the rumor about your will true?
Chairwoman Han! Let me go.
Can we talk?
Chairwoman Han Yeo-hui!
You remember my mother, don't you?
She lived in your house 27 years ago.
Kim Hyeon-mi.
Is your name Wook?
Where on earth is Kim Hyeon-mi?
Where's Detective Park,
the one who investigated the case?
He vanished during that investigation.
-Are you the owner?
-Do you want to pawn something?
What use is all this?
No one on the outside knows
we're doing all this.
If we get Manager Wang,
we can find Choi Yeo-na too.
There's no evidence! None!
I'll get it done.
I'm still right here.
Or at least send someone
who's seen Hyeon-ji.
This is unfair.

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
In the cold morning breeze
A seagull cries all alone…
Did you forget the rest?
This is my photo.
So it's mine.
No, it's Mommy's.
Why is this yours when it's my photo?
You're mine, so this photo is mine too.
That tickles!
You're mine!
You're mine! You're mine, Wook!
My beloved son, Wook.
We'll have to be apart for a while.
If you play with your friends
and listen to your teachers,
I promise to come back for you.
My son, Wook.
You'll be okay even without me, right?
Ma'am, please take good care of him.
I'm not going.
My mom said she'll come.
Tell her not to take me away.
If I hear from your mom,
I promise I will call you.
-Mommy…
-Let's go. We'll call you.
She said she'll come.
I promise I'll let you know.
Ma'am, has my mom come yet?
No, not yet.
Once my mom comes,
please call the children's home director.
I'll rush over here.
Okay.
DEMOLITION UNDERWAY
Mommy…
Mommy!
Mommy…
Mommy…
This is me.
Please understand.
That locket means the world to her.
Is it hers?
Yes. Her son's photo is inside.
Auntie, does it hurt?
I'm fine.
The wound has almost healed.
That locket is special to you, right?
It is.
This is the only photo
I have left of my son.
Here, I'll show you.
Isn't he handsome?
Yes!
It's big bro!
Big bro?
You're right.
He must be all grown up by now,
since it's been more than 20 years.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Why do you keep looking behind you?
To see if big bro is coming.
-Let's see.
-It's cute.
Hold this, Ye-won.
And Ji-u, you hold this.
-Mom, what do you think?
-It's beautiful.
You're thinking
about your mom again, aren't you?
-No.
-Come on, I know you are.
Every time you zone out,
you think about your mom.
Do you miss your mom?
I said no.
Hey, don't you miss your mom?
You can't miss someone you've never known.
We wouldn't recognize each other
even if we bumped into each other.
She left me as soon
as she gave birth to me.
How could she recognize me?
What about you?
Do you think you'll recognize her
if you see her?
Of course, right away!
That's why they say blood
is thicker than water.
So the moment you see her,
what will you say to her?
I don't know.
Come on. You always talk about your mom.
Then what will you say if you meet her?
I have nothing to say.
I don't think I'd be sad
even if she were dead.
It's not because I hate her.
It's just that I feel nothing for her.
She's like a stranger to me.
I didn't recognize my mom,
even though I said I'd know right away.
We bumped into each other so many times,
yet she didn't recognize me, either.
She should've lived a good life
after abandoning me.
Why is she here?
You're dead meat.
Hey, what are you doing?
Let go of me!
We can't kill him anyway.
Don't waste your energy on him.
-You should take him outside.
-Yes.
Let's just go.
Okay, let go of me.
Think about Jun-su's mom!
Come on!
Okay, fine. Let me go.
Keep talking.
What were you saying?
I told you. That man is the Grim Reaper.
There's no such thing here.
Then what is he?
I can't stab him,
and my punches don't hurt him.
He made a person disappear
right in front of me.
Plus, he knew everything about me.
My house, my phone number,
and even my criminal record.
-He sure knows a lot about you.
-Right? He literally knows everything.
Listen. There's a saying that goes,
"Doing too much makes things worse."
If you add feet to a drawing of a snake,
it'll ruin the whole thing.
In other words,
knowing too much will get you killed.
So I was right about him.
He's the Grim Reaper, isn't he?
Call him now.
Beating you up wouldn't be
punishment enough for you!
Why can't the world
be rid of monsters like you?
You will never see the sun again.
Whether you leave this village or not,
it won't happen.
She looks like a part-timer I know.
Which store is this?
I can't disclose
personal information like that.
I'll check again to see
if she's the same girl,
so get the money ready.
What is that?
Wook!
Ta-da! How does the office look?
I put a new computer here and over there…
Wook, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Did something happen, you ask?
So much happened
that I can't even remember it all.
Can you look into that for me?
There's a name,
but there's no other record.
And no resident ID.
That's weird.
When the patriarchal family system
was abolished in 2008
and changed
to a family registration system,
there were some errors in the system.
Some data was deleted,
as you can see here.
But that was ten years ago,
so most of the records have been fixed.
This is a rare case.
Maybe she didn't put in a request
to have it corrected.
Your mother, I mean.
Who is it?
Who's there?
-Did I hear it wrong?
-What is it?
Is someone here?
You can't leave Jun-su alone.
He's sleeping now.
You were by his side all day
and you jump at the slightest noise.
I'm more worried about you.
He was so scared this afternoon.
He might wake up
in the middle of the night.
Are you getting off work now?
Yes.
Where is Woo Il-seok?
In the shed.
Look at you.
Who killed you?
How would I know
when the Grim Reaper doesn't know?
Are you saying I'm the Grim Reaper?
If not, what are you?
You said you were different from me.
It's none of your business.
Just tell me who killed you.
I don't know. I'm serious.
That woman begged me to spare her life
and suddenly someone struck me
from behind.
Help me!
So who was it?
I don't know.
By the time I came to my senses,
I was already in this hellhole.
Hey.
Did it ever occur to you that
you might have ruined this place?
Do you think the world
will change for the better
if I disappear?
Yes.
I don't know about other places,
but I'm sure this place
will be better off without you.
Hey.
Are they done running forensics
on Jang Myeong-gyu's cell phone?
Not yet.
I haven't seen you in days.
You look a mess.
-Have you been looking for Yeo-na?
-Yes.
Did you find anything?
I questioned all the bikers in the area,
but I got nothing.
There's no connection
between the two cases.
The captain has started dropping hints
to close the case.
Yes, this is Bok Min-ho
of the Crimes Division.
Where is it?
Okay.
They found an unidentified female body.
Text me the address.
Hey, Jun-ho.
Shin Jun-ho!
Wait! Stop!
Check the body.
It's been at least six months
since she died.
But it's been less than a month
since Yeo-na disappeared.
Thank you.
You're early.
You have to be diligent
in my line of work.
I might not look like it,
but I have ears everywhere,
from the police, the homeless,
to the civil servants.
Anyway, I'm glad it's not her.
She should be alive.
Let's believe she is, okay?
Okay.
Are you all right?
The kids got caught by Woo Il-seok
while trying to find these lanterns
and Jun-su's mother
was injured in the process.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
How is it your fault?
I'm actually grateful.
The way those colorful sky lanterns
danced in the night sky
and flew away reminded me of us.
There was something sad
but beautiful about it.
What Woo Il-seok did
was his fault.
But what's unfortunate is that
the lanterns you sent up into the sky
can't brighten the outside world.
But I sent up so many of them.
I'm sure one of them
reached the outside world.
Someone could have picked it up.
It's all useless.
How do you know that?
What if someone reaches out to me
after seeing the message?
I know this place is different,
but I can't just sit still.
I must do something.
I must at least have hope
to make a miracle happen.
Do you think it's easy for me…
to give up on hope?
Everything here is useless.
Do you even have a sense of fashion?
Sense of fashion, my foot.
Why are you going through my clothes
after having a good meal?
Well, we have no choice,
so let's go with this.
This and this.
I have a lot on my mind.
Are you planning a vacation or something?
We have to catch Woo Il-seok.
Wearing this?
Put this on too.
By the way, Mr. Jang.
Are you good at acting?
Of course.
If I wasn't stuck here,
who knows what I might have become?
I was talented and handsome,
so people used to tell me
I should become an actor.
Come on.
Not anyone can become an actor.
Anyone?
Do you think I'm just anyone?
And what is it that I lack?
Tell me.
Don't get angry at me…
How was my acting?
Not bad, right?
Gosh, you startled me!
Hey, kid.
This is what you call experience.
Turn off the light.
You really got me.
Put away the clothes. They're in my way.
You can wear this tomorrow.
Hand me the bamboo pillow.
Are you sure you can do this?
How about I do all the talking
and you just help me
make the story believable?
You talk too much.
Stop worrying about me.
Just go and find the person
who killed Woo Il-seok.
Running simulations in your head
and actually doing it
are very different things.
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
My mouth hurts!
I've been lying for over ten years
while living in Duon Village.
I act like a ghost before the dead
and pretend I can't see anything
before the living.
You've been with me. Can't you tell?
-Okay, fine.
-Just focus on your thing.
Hey, wait!
You're supposed to be a rich man,
so you need something lavish.
But you don't have that
rich look.
There's not even a single piece of
gold jewelry on you.
It's a prop, so treat it with care.
Is this real gold?
Careful!
You petty kid.
I bet this is a fake.
How can I help you?
Well, the thing is,
I'm planning to erect a building
in front of the convenience store
over there.
A building with 30 studios.
It'll have five to six
security cameras at the entrance
since tenants these days
prioritize safety.
So why are you here?
I'm still talking.
Based on my research,
there are about three sex offenders
living in this area.
All of them are wearing ankle monitors.
They are under our watch,
so you don't need to worry.
How can I not worry?
I saw on the news that
some cut them off and run away
without the officers knowing.
Those kinds of accidents are very rare.
See? So they do happen!
Not in our neighborhood.
Don't just tell me that. Show me proof.
I just want to know
if they're staying out of trouble.
Check on them now.
Okay.
Sir, you should see this.
-One of the monitors is off.
-Call the probation officer.
Is there a problem?
Did someone run away?
It's not a big deal.
We'll take care of it,
so you can leave now, sir.
Leave? I can't do that.
I'm not going anywhere
until you show me proof.
Actually, I trust that you'll
get the job done, officers.
Make sure to catch the fugitive.
Goodbye.
What? So it's my daughter, Hyeon-ji?
Okay, I'll see you there in 30 minutes.
I'll pay you for sure!
Why isn't he coming?
Hello? Are you here?
I can't see you. Where are you?
I got into an accident on my way there.
I'm at the hospital now.
I don't think I can make it.
How bad is it?
Then tell me where the store is
so I can go check it out.
That's difficult for me to do.
What do you mean?
You're making things difficult for me.
I even prepared the money.
If you're using my daughter
to pull a trick on me--
How can you say that?
I even got into an accident
on the way to meet you.
I sent you a picture, so check it out.
Where is this place?
She looks exactly like the girl
in the flyer, right?
So tell me where this place is.
I'll wire you the deposit
and send you the rest once I get there.
Okay? Yes.
Turn right at the convenience store.
Keep going straight and you'll see
the house with a green gate.
Who is this?
I'm Kim Wook-hyeon,
a lawyer at Taebaek Law Firm.
I came to tell you something.
What is a lawyer doing here?
I came to ask a few things
regarding the incident
that happened here a few days ago.
We have nothing to say. Please leave.
Ma'am, wait.
Hello?
Damn, I didn't even get to say
what I had to say.
SECURITY CAMERA IN USE
Sir.
Do you know Kim Wook-hyeon,
a lawyer at Taebaek Law Firm?
Okay. Thanks.
I KNOW EVERYTHING.
SHOULD I REPORT TO THE POLICE?
2,580,000 WON
YOU Convenience Store,
Uyeong-gu, Sooeon-dong, Seoul.
What do you mean you know everything?
I know
what the intruder did that day.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure you know better than me.
The police are looking for him.
Looking for who?
I don't know what you're talking about.
His name is Woo Il-seok.
He disappeared from this house.
The police think he ran away,
but that's not true.
As a lawyer,
I suggest you turn yourself in.
If I file a report
or the police find out everything,
things will be disadvantageous for you.
What are you talking about?
I don't know such a person!
I'm sure it was self-defense.
But in the end,
it was excessive self-defense.
If you get arrested, you'll be sentenced
to four to seven years.
That doesn't include abandoning the body.
I'm sure you know
what I'm saying, don't you?
We don't have much time.
Don't ruin the rest of your life
because of a jerk like Woo Il-seok.
That's what I came to tell you.
Stay still!
You know what will happen
if you call the cops.
I'll find you again.
Honey, it's okay.
You're safe.
It's okay.
Thank you.
-Have a nice day.
-Bye.
Excuse me.
Can I help you?
When does the other part-timer come?
I'm the only part-timer here.
The store owner works at night.
Is the owner a woman?
How old is she?
The owner is a man,
and he's in his fifties.
What's the matter?
Just one second.
Right.
I'm looking for this girl.
Min Na-yeong?
It's me.
Look.
MIN NA-YEONG
But the face is someone else's.
Has this been edited?
I'm looking for a girl.
Someone told me
that he saw her working here.
Do you know it's illegal to edit
someone's face without their consent?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
My apologies. It was an urgent matter.
I won't be buying.
The number you have dialed is unavailable.
Please leave a message…
"Give me my money back."
"You crook."
Gosh, you should have told me first.
You have his number, right?
I do.
But he won't pick up.
And he won't reply to my text, either.
Give me his number
and the bank account you wired to.
I've only caused you so much trouble.
How will I find Hyeon-ji like this?
It's not even the first time I got conned.
I really thought I found her this time.
I would have done the same if I were you.
Let's catch that bastard first.
You must have something on your mind.
You said…
you're the village head, right?
That's not exactly what I said.
How long has it been…
since Jun-su's mom came here?
How did she end up here?
We neither ask
nor talk about what happened
in the outside world.
She must've experienced
something terrible to have ended up here.
If you're that curious,
go and ask her yourself.
That law student last time
told everyone how he ended up here
even when no one asked.
He was one of a kind.
By the way,
why do you hate Jun-su's mom so much?
FAMILY REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
NAME: KIM WOOK
MOTHER: KIM HYEON-MI
-Why are you so late?
-I went to meet someone.
What did the police say?
How do you know I met with the police?
Right, I met them. At the police station.
At first, they assured me that
everything was under control,
but when they checked the system,
one of the offenders was missing.
Which makes sense,
since Woo Il-seok is here.
Only then did they start panicking
and making calls.
So? What happened next?
It's obvious, isn't it?
I told them to locate him quickly.
I'm exhausted
from being out and about all day.
Turn off the light.
Do you think I'm a remote control?
"Turn off the light.
Turn on the TV. Turn off the TV."
The necklace.
Where is the necklace?
-What?
-The necklace.
-The thing is--
-Don't tell me you lost it.
Do you know how much that cost?
It's pure gold!
I know that.
I won't pocket it. I'll give it back.
I put it somewhere safe.
Just turn off the light.
There's no road.
How could a bed-and-breakfast be here?
That jerk used a burner phone
and a fake bank account.
I always jump at the chance
of finding Hyeon-ji.
Okay. I'll look into it.
Maybe there's security camera footage
or something else.
Thanks.
Hello?
Is someone here? Okay, I should go.
Is there anyone here?
Hello.
Are you some kind of mountain spirit?
-Why do you live here all by yourself?
-Because I want to.
Why are you judging me?
Gosh, what's all this noise?
I can't sleep!
Oh, no. Are you dead?
Why would I be dead?
Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?
Hey, wake up.
What's all this? You're not dead, are you?
You're alive, right?
Cut the nonsense and wake up already!
Wow, this place is beautiful.
I think that old man
owns this whole mountain.
That's why there's only one house
in this vast area.
This whole land belongs to him, right?
Why are you staring at me like that?
What's wrong?
It hurts!
You sure you're not dead?
Are you insane?
How could I be here if I'm dead?
Why did you have to confuse me
by showing up here?
I came because you didn't answer my calls!
Nam-guk, Jang Myeong-gyu, and Choi Yeo-na.
I found something they have in common.
-Aside from Blue Sunshine Children's Home?
-Yes.
All three of them don't have
records of their birth parents.
Nam-guk said the children's home
registered his birth.
Who on earth did it?
The director of the children's home
did it for Nam-guk.
A nun registered for Choi Yeo-na.
And Jang Myeong-gyu
was found in a baby box,
so a pastor registered his birth.
They got killed because they didn't know
who their real parents were?
Ms. Cho Myeong-sun?
Yes.
I take it that you received
a call from my people?
I'm Han Yeo-hui of Choiseung Construction.
Please come in.
Go wait in the car.
CHAIRWOMAN HAN YEO-HUI ESTABLISHES
SOUTH-NORTH PEACE ORGANIZATION
You have the forensic results
from Jang Myeong-gyu's phone?
Yes. Here you are.
He searched for
Choiseung Construction a lot.
He even wrote an article about it.
I almost forgot.
Your mother told you this, right?
Jang visited your mother six months ago
and asked her who dropped him off
at the children's home.
And then?
I'm looking for my grandchild.
I believe the child might've been sent
to a children's home about 30 years ago.
It's been many years,
but I'm looking for them now.
Was the child
at the children's home I worked at?
I'm not sure.
I thought my daughter had
had a miscarriage.
But while going through her things,
I recently found evidence
she had given birth.
-Why don't you ask her yourself?
-She's dead.
It's been 27 years already.
I see.
That's why I've been looking
into several children's homes
near the convent where she stayed
when she was pregnant.
Recently, I've had many people ask me
questions about that children's home.
What do you mean?
The children who grew up there
got into an accident.
An accident?
One died in a car crash.
Why did you want to see me?
Where did you go with the chairwoman?
Why did she only take you?
Why do you want to know?
She suddenly tries to find her grandchild
and goes someplace
the secretary's office doesn't know about.
I'm worried about her.
Is she sick?
Is it dementia or cancer?
If you're curious,
ask her yourselves tomorrow.
Mr. Jang. Jong-a is leaving.
Goodbye.
Since you're here,
you must have some food.
Food?
Food? No way. Just go. You must leave now!
He might ask you to pay for the meal.
He's a money grabber. Come on.
She should eat before she goes. Sit down.
Come on, sit!
I told you she eats a lot.
She eats more than I do.
Go out and pick some lettuce leaves.
Be a man. Don't act like a petty child
and fight over food.
What does eating lettuce have
to do with being manly?
Your perception of gender roles
is so outdated.
What is he saying?
-Does Wook know too?
-What?
That you got conned.
It was that guy from last time, right?
What are you talking about?
I heard your call earlier.
You got scammed because you jumped
at the chance of finding Hyeon-ji.
By the way, who's Hyeon-ji?
Eat up. It's good to see you eating well.
Seriously?
You scolded me for eating too much,
but you made a wrap for her.
Jeez, I didn't know
you had a double standard.
I gathered a group of guys
without any criminal records.
Then what's taking so long?
I'm sorry.
Damn it. Stop apologizing to me!
If you don't kill him, I'll kill you.
Do you understand?
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
It's my business card.
Call me before you come to see me.
I'll find all the jerks who conned you.
-How?
-I'm an expert in finding people.
-Gosh!
-You can just come in. Come on in!
Do you run this place all by yourself?
It hasn't been that long.
It was Nam-guk's before.
I think I'm good at running a business.
It's more fun than I thought.
Mr. Jang, I have something to show you.
All right.
That bastard.
It's him! How did you find him?
When you met him the other day,
I took a picture just in case.
I ran his name through
the criminal database
and it turns out
he was convicted three times.
So he targeted me on purpose.
His name is Ha Chang-su?
Can you find his phone number too?
-I can find out where he is now.
-Where is he now?
Number three.
Where are you now?
-What the hell?
-I told you to study!
Instead, you're back here again?
You quit your part-time job
after only a week!
-When will you grow up?
-What's all this?
Why are you hitting me? Who are you?
Who am I?
How dare you talk to your father that way?
Can someone call the police?
He's not my father!
Chang-su!
That's crossing the line.
You always get into trouble
and now you want to call the cops?
How could you say he's not your father?
Unbelievable.
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen a family argument before?
Dad, let's leave.
You brat!
You're such an embarrassment. Come here!
Let go of me! Now!
Let go!
Let go of me!
You damned scammer!
You said you were in a hospital
after getting into an accident.
Does this look like a hospital to you?
Why are you hitting me?
I'm getting a doctor's note for this.
-I'm going to put you behind bars!
-Screw you.
Excuse me!
This guy here started hitting me
out of nowhere and…
You bastard!
I should have hit you already!
Come here. I don't even want to
use my authority on a jerk like you.
Mr. Jang, come with us.
I need to take your statement. Come on.
Go ahead, Mr. Jang.
Okay. I owe you one.
-Don't forget to pay me back.
-Of course.
That jerk!
How did you not eat until now?
Anyway, how did you know
he was at that internet café?
-That lady told me.
-Who is she?
You know the guy
who's staying at my house?
Forget it. It's complicated.
Anyway, she's something else.
She's clever.
Here you are.
-What's that?
-The money you gave him.
He gave all of it back
for a lesser sentence.
He even wanted to pay interest,
but I stopped him.
Thank you.
-You saved me again, Detective Baek.
-If something happens, call me first.
I want to find Hyeon-ji too.
Okay.
Hello?
Mr. Jang! Our plan worked.
I was waiting in front of the house
and she came out.
I followed her just in case
and saw her going into the police station.
-Do you think she went to turn herself in?
-Probably. That's what I think.
An innocent woman will get punished
because of that jerk.
She will probably get a lesser sentence,
but the abandonment of a dead body
is a separate issue.
Once they find Woo Il-seok's body,
I'll finally sleep in peace.
Come on. You've been sleeping
just fine all this time.
POLICE
I found him!
He's gone.
He left so easily
even after committing a horrible crime.
PAWNSHOP
Here.
Here's the money.
1 GOLD BABY RING,
1 GOLD NECKLACE, 2 GOLD RINGS
Please check.
It's all here.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
I'm not really in the mood this year.
But we should still do it, right?
Of course.
The kids are looking forward to it!
As am I.
Hey, you should join us too.
Give us some good ideas.
What's going on?
Memory Day is coming up.
Memory Day?
It's a day when the villagers
commemorate each other.
It's a party.
We all get together, take pictures,
eat good food,
and say good things to each other.
Wouldn't you call that a party?
What should I prepare?
Are you going to hold a special event?
A special event?
I usually prepared the food.
Mr. Jang and I did everything
that required strength.
You guys are so old-fashioned.
So tacky.
Anyway, I'm in charge of
planning this year.
How should I put this?
I want to hold
a really special event this year.
Something that we'll all remember
for a very long time.
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION'S CHAIRWOMAN HAN,
THE NO.1 RESPECTED FEMALE CEO
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION
Detective Shin. Hey, Detective Shin!
I guess I dozed off.
Go home and get some quality sleep
to keep yourself in good health.
Otherwise,
you'll end up getting exhausted.
What's all this?
This is the last thing he looked up
before he died.
And around that time,
he called Kim Nam-guk and Yeo-na.
Did you eat?
No, I'm not hungry. I should go home.
Choiseung Construction.
DETECTIVE PARK YEONG-HO
CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION?
Is it Choiseung Construction again?
You asked to see me, so say something.
Don't just stare at me.
Woo Il-seok.
-He's gone.
-I know.
You came all the way here
just to say that?
You should go
if you have nothing more to say.
Wait.
When did you come here?
How long has it been?
Why do you want to know?
I came here when you were about this tall.
Why?
Who killed you?
I don't know.
You've become strangely inquisitive
since hanging around Mr. Jang.
Don't come here late at night.
And if you run into Jun-su,
don't scare him.
They checked only
because I kept asking them,
and found out he was really missing.
Their faces turned pale.
Only then did they panic
and start making calls.
It was a mess.
This is why the police get criticized.
I would have taught them a lesson
and told them to do their jobs properly.
What about the couple
who killed Woo Il-seok?
Their lawyer is negotiating
with the police.
-We'll have to wait and see.
-You're way better than the cops.
You solved so many cases
just in this past month.
You found Ha-neul. Helped Mi-ok leave.
I heard the guy
who killed Mi-ok got arrested.
Yes, he's waiting for a trial.
I didn't do much other than
follow him for a few days.
You did a lot!
Tailing someone is not easy.
By the way…
on one of the days I was following him,
I accidentally bumped into him.
When we locked eyes,
I suddenly got the chills.
Do you remember what Mi-ok said about him?
-That he was like the devil.
-Yes, exactly! He really looked like one.
There was no emotion in his eyes.
I guess Mi-ok was right about him.
He told me he wanted to kill me
because I'm pretty.
Because you're pretty,
I want to kill you.
That crazy bastard!
He's like the devil.
What is his name?
Kang Myeong-jin.
There was a name tag on his vest.
You must have been so cold.
You've been through so much.
The next morning,
there was no news of his capture,
so I went back
and left a delivery invoice.
Then the police caught him right away.
It's all thanks to Mi-ok.
You can quit if it's too hard.
You've done enough.
It is hard.
I'm not doing this because I want to.
But…
if I don't, what about my Hyeon-ji?
All the people here…
are like Hyeon-ji to me.
I'm sure she's waiting for me.
She must be waiting for me
to come find her.
Drink up.
You're in no place to worry about me.
You don't even know where your body is.
Is this how you get back at me?
Thomas, can we have some more beer?
Three o'clock?
Okay. Thanks.
If you find anything else,
please let me know.
Thanks, Mr. Choi.
Apparently, Chairwoman Han
of Choiseung Construction will donate
all her money and real estate to society
and give her shares to her grandchild.
The donation part was already on the news.
Hang on. Chairwoman Han has a grandchild?
-I thought she didn't have any children.
-It's just a rumor.
People from Choiseung are keeping quiet.
Where are you going?
I want to ask Chairwoman Han myself.
Without a warrant?
There's a company event today.
I should be able to meet her there.
Of course you'll see her there,
but you can't just go up to her
and start asking questions.
I have to at least try. I'll be back.
Hey!
He hasn't been home for three days.
Where are you, you scumbag?
Where did you hide, you rat?
PRODUCT DONATIONS
FOR WIMIN CHILDREN'S HOME
Goodness.
Chairwoman Han!
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Chairwoman Han!
I told you not to call any reporters.
I'm sorry. I did tell the PR team.
-This event is not open to the public.
-Is the rumor about your will true?
Chairwoman Han! Let me go.
Can we talk?
Chairwoman Han Yeo-hui!
You remember my mother, don't you?
She lived in your house 27 years ago.
Kim Hyeon-mi.
Is your name Wook?
Where on earth is Kim Hyeon-mi?
Where's Detective Park,
the one who investigated the case?
He vanished during that investigation.
-Are you the owner?
-Do you want to pawn something?
What use is all this?
No one on the outside knows
we're doing all this.
If we get Manager Wang,
we can find Choi Yeo-na too.
There's no evidence! None!
I'll get it done.
I'm still right here.
Or at least send someone
who's seen Hyeon-ji.
This is unfair.
