IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
What day is today?
I lost count after the 500th day.
Your efforts were in vain.
It's meaningless to count the days here.
That may be the case for you, Thomas.
But I'm different.
Consider yourself lucky
that you're different from me.
What?
Are you going to stab me?
I already did it
several times in my head.
Turn on the light!
Turn on the light!
Turn on the light, Thomas!
You're violating my human rights!
Who are you?
Where's Thomas?
Thomas didn't come with you?
He locked me up in here. Undo this for me!
Why would Thomas…
I don't know!
He's a frightening man.
He's more than he seems!
Here…
He wouldn't lock someone up for no reason.
Let's go.
Wait!
You guys are dead, aren't you?
I'm not dead. I'm alive!
What did he just say?
Yeo-na, let's get out of here.
No. Wait! Hey!
That man just said that he's alive.
You heard it too, right?
Yes.
Go and call Thomas.
Let's meet at Café Hawaii.
-Where are you going?
-To get Mr. Jang.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Mr. Jang!
Mr. Jang!
What's all this fuss about?
We're not the only living people here!
There's someone else!
What are you talking about?
You didn't know either?
Who are they?
His name is Hwang Du-cheol.
There were others too.
There are five in total.
There used to be seven,
but two of them disappeared one day.
Why did you lock them up?
Because they're evil.
I get that, but even so, it's a little…
If Woo Il-seok hadn't disappeared,
I would've locked him up as well.
I can't let people who assault women,
take children hostage, and wield a knife
roam free.
Hwang Du-cheol?
He said he's different from us.
He said he's alive.
Right.
He's different from us.
In this world, he deceived us
and in the outside world,
he scammed our families.
And when he ran out of money,
he looked for new prey.
He swindled people
who miss their loved ones.
What he did was
kill those who were already dead.
Are you sure he's alive?
-Yes.
-You said the living can't see us.
You said they can't see me
no matter what I do.
But that man even talked to me.
Wook, you saw it too. Say something.
Right, I saw it too.
I don't know why he can see us.
All I can tell you is that he's different
and he used that difference
to do bad things.
That's enough.
It's getting late.
Let's talk again tomorrow.
Take her home.
Mr. Jang's right. It's getting late.
Let's go.
Do you believe what Thomas said?
What?
Do you believe that man is alive?
What about you? Do you believe him?
I don't know.
When I first met you on the hill,
Jun-ho was there.
I shouted out and called his name,
but he didn't see me and just drove on.
Right, I remember.
Jun-ho can't see me,
so how come that man can?
Good question.
I wonder why.
There are two possibilities.
Either Thomas is lying,
or that man is lying.
Or…
they're both right.
The things that happen in this village
don't make sense at all.
When it came to village affairs,
I let you take care of things
and observed from a distance,
but I was surprised this time.
Why?
-Because I locked up a living person?
-No, that's not why.
Why did you do it by yourself?
You could have tipped me off.
What would that have changed?
Instead of keeping him locked up here,
I could've reported him to the police.
Hwang Du-cheol is a sly snake.
He's nothing like you.
He never mourned the dead--
Why are you taking on that burden
on your own?
Because I'm on my own.
Many people have come and gone
from this place.
To me, you're also just someone
who will pass through this village.
You know what?
Even though
our circumstances are different,
I thought we were companions
walking the same path…
but I guess it was just me.
Am I just someone who will disappear
one day like the wind?
That's really upsetting.
He's different from us.
In this world, he deceived us
and in the outside world,
he scammed our families.
I'm not dead. I'm alive!
I can somewhat understand Thomas,
but not completely.
I feel bad for him.
Well, that too.
But there's someone else
who can see the dead other than us.
That's right.
The fact that Yeo-na knows
is bothering me.
What if you and I get caught?
That's why you must be extra careful.
What's the use of skin and bones?
We can only trust our comrades.
I don't blame anyone.
I'm sure this too shall pass.
I had no idea there was a place like this.
-How many are locked up in here, anyway?
-Five, according to Thomas.
Let me go, you bastard!
It's the jerk who wielded an axe at me!
He disappeared one day,
so I thought he went to hell.
But he was right here.
-You know just by hearing his voice?
-How could I forget his voice?
A lowlife like that should rot
behind bars for a hundred years.
Thomas!
Thomas, I'm sorry.
Please turn on the light!
Hey, it's been a while, Detective Park!
Do you guys know each other?
You bastard! Because of you, my mother…
Do you know how she died?
Come on, it's a misunderstanding!
Is he the guy who stole
your mother's money?
Yes.
You took her life's savings
and promised her that you'd find me.
Because of you, my mother
died of stress!
What? How did you know that?
Did another living person come here
other than me?
Why do you want to know that? Why?
-Come on, let's get out of here.
-No!
-That's not true! Detective Park!
-Let go of me!
-Come on!
-You can't just leave me here!
That bastard…
So that con artist was Hwang Du-cheol.
Right?
If you hadn't visited
my mother in my hometown,
I would've never known
about what he did to my family.
Thomas only locked up
the worst kind of criminals!
We shouldn't release these jerks!
Come in.
Have you been eating? You've lost weight.
I'm fine.
What brings you here?
How's the search for Yeo-na going?
Are you even worried about her?
Jun-ho. How can you say that?
I know you hate her.
You never approved of our marriage.
I don't want her as my daughter-in-law,
but I'm still worried about her.
There's news of her disappearance,
and she's yet to be found even though
you've been searching day and night.
It makes me think something bad
might have happened to her.
Of course I'm worried about her.
We haven't found her yet.
Does it have something to do
with the children's home?
I heard Myeong-gyu and Nam-guk died too.
Yes, I think so. It's an ongoing case,
so I can't go into detail.
Mom, I need to get going. Get home safe.
I'm looking for my grandchild.
My daughter's child.
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.
Why is this happening now?
Why did you ask to see me?
After hearing what you said,
I gave the matter a lot of thought.
If something horrible is happening
because of me,
I must stop it.
That's why I wanted to see you.
This is a copy of my will.
As you saw on the news,
I'm going to donate all of my wealth.
And I'm going to give my company shares
to these three people listed in my will.
WILL
But only if I fail to find my grandchild.
So these three will benefit
from these deaths.
Do they all know the contents of the will?
But the details of my will were announced
after the accidents took place.
Why are you looking
for your grandchild after all these years?
After making up my mind to write a will,
I started to look back on my life.
Among my daughter's things that
I couldn't throw away for 27 years,
I found her diary.
All this time,
I thought she had a miscarriage,
but when I read her diary,
it sounded like she had a baby.
The moment I read that,
my heart began to race.
When my daughter was pregnant,
she got into a car accident.
After that, I wasn't able
to communicate with her.
Then one day, when she was home alone,
she got into another accident…
and unfortunately passed away.
Are you sure she was alone at home
when the accident occurred?
My housekeeper came back
from grocery shopping and reported it.
My daughter had been alone.
This is my daughter, Su-yeon.
If you find anything suspicious
about my daughter's death,
please get to the bottom of it.
I will fully cooperate.
Okay, thank you.
Oh. I'm not sure if this will help,
but not long ago,
the housekeeper's son came to see me.
-You mean Kim Wook?
-Do you know him?
What did he say?
That his mother also died
after Su-yeon died.
His mother died?
How many people did you lock up?
-Goodness, you're scary.
-What do you mean he's scary?
It's scarier to have criminals
roam around the village.
She's right. After getting stabbed,
I stayed home for days because
I was terrified of running into him.
Still, he should've taken a vote.
Am I wrong?
That's what I'm saying!
There might be innocent people
who got locked up.
I'm saying this as a former cop.
Those jerks would've been locked up
in jail even if they were alive.
If you let them go,
none of you will sleep in peace.
I didn't say we should let them go.
I just want order in the village.
This village doesn't always
get good people like you.
Some had committed evil acts
and some were cruel.
Because I know you must've all
experienced hardship when you were alive,
I wanted you all to be at peace here.
I'll stay out of it,
so take a vote or let him go.
Do whatever you want.
You want order? Please.
You'll be gone the second
your bodies are found.
Thomas took care of the dirty work
because he has a good heart.
Exactly.
Just think about this for a minute.
It's all thanks to Thomas
that we're able to live comfortably.
Whenever you need help,
you look for Thomas.
But did any of you look out for him?
According to your logic,
Thomas didn't have to do anything.
But every time something happened
in the village, he took care of it
and locked up the bad guys.
Of course we're grateful for what
he has done for us.
Instead of sitting back and giving orders,
go catch the bad guys
and punish them yourselves!
-Let's just leave them.
-We should know this.
We should be grateful.
-Exactly.
-I agree.
I'm starting to feel bad.
Jun-su's mom.
Why don't you go and console Thomas?
He did all the dirty work,
yet he got blamed.
I feel sorry for him.
Who am I to console him?
I'm just a wind that will be gone one day.
Never mind.
The police are looking for Jang-mi.
Really?
Her colleague filed a report.
You're close to Jang-mi.
Did she tell you anything?
When that law student was here,
she said she had evidence
of her killer's crimes hidden somewhere.
What did she hide? And where?
I have no idea.
Hyeon-mi, are you okay?
Jang-mi, come here!
After they heard what you said,
they became quiet and left.
I don't like them.
Jang-mi.
The guy you call a piece of trash.
You have proof of what he did to you
hidden somewhere, right?
Right. I saved it on a flash drive
and hid it somewhere safe.
Where did you hide it?
The place I used to work.
Why do you ask?
Jun-su's mom was telling me
about how smart you are.
Come on, if I was smart,
I wouldn't have gotten beaten up.
In order to report him to the cops,
I took videos of him hitting me
and of him doing drugs
and hid them in the ladies' room,
but I died without telling anyone.
It was completely useless!
No, it's a jackpot!
If the cops find that,
he'll be locked up for sure.
But
I don't want them to find it.
Why not?
Because if they do, he'll get arrested
and my body will be located.
Then I'll have to leave this place.
-I love it here.
-How naïve of you.
Hey, who knows?
You might go somewhere even better.
But you won't be there.
Or Thomas,
Beom-su,
Yeong-ho,
and Mr. Jang.
It's not that I like this place.
I like the people here.
I guess you guys grew on me.
Don't get too attached.
It'll only give you a hard time later.
After Ms. Choi left,
I kept seeing things for a while.
Too bad.
I already like you.
-Go away.
-No!
Go away!
I'm jealous of your friendship.
I should get going.
Did we make him feel left out?
-I had so much fun on Memory Day.
-What? Why aren't there any photos?
Whose photos?
Never mind.
There aren't any photos
of that handsome guy or Mr. Jang.
Well, Mr. Jang was busy
taking photos of us.
Wook was busy too.
He installed all the lights here
and helped me with the projector.
Did he?
I see.
Let's go. I told the kids to play outside.
-Bye.
-See you.
You're a workaholic, aren't you?
I've never seen you take a break.
You're either working at the café
or working on something here.
Or you're going around the village
and fixing all the broken things.
Or
you're catching bad guys
and locking them up yourself.
There you go again.
Hey, be honest.
You've never closed the café
and taken a day off, right?
So you've never done it.
You've never taken a day off.
In the outside world,
you're not supposed to work
more than 52 hours a week.
Working too much is an illness.
You need to get it treated.
Living diligently is an illness?
-I've never heard of that before.
-I'm not joking.
You don't get any recognition
even if you work hard all by yourself.
What's your point?
I want to be alone, so please leave.
I just told you.
Don't try to do it all on your own.
You have me and Mr. Jang.
What are friends for?
We can share your burden,
catch the bad guys together,
and get blamed for it together too.
Damn, you look so serious.
I'm off.
Are you sad that there's no photo of you?
Speaking of which, Ms. Kim was wondering
why there weren't any photos of you.
Photos of me?
Yes, only you and Mr. Jang
are missing in the photos.
It's because I look better in person.
The camera can't capture
my handsome looks.
So how did the hearing go?
Thomas seemed crestfallen. Poor guy.
You sound like a father
who's worried about his child.
What do you mean? I'm a bachelor.
Anyway, it wasn't really a hearing.
Jun-su's mom was…
I mean your mom was furious.
Who?
Your mom.
Mom…
This feels weird.
Maybe it's because I've been
without a mom for so long.
She did sound really angry.
What? Were you there?
I was just passing by.
Her voice was so loud that
I could hear everything from outside.
You have a temper just like her,
but your mom always says what's right,
while you always talk nonsense.
What do you mean?
My problem is that I'm too righteous.
Anyway, this must run in the family.
Yes. By the way, we need to go somewhere
later tonight.
-Where?
-To find Jang-mi's killer.
Jang-mi took videos of what he did
and hid them somewhere.
Give Ms. Lee a heads-up.
-Is Jong-a joining us?
-Yes. We need her.
Why don't you gain weight
when you eat so much?
I get bloated just from drinking water.
You shouldn't eat too much.
Idols need to stay fit.
Oh, right. Did a guy
with a ponytail come by today?
No.
That's weird. I ran into him in the hall
when I went out to get lunch.
He was looking at our shop,
so I thought he was a client.
I ran into him again
in front of the elevator just now.
Really?
One second.
Hey, Wook.
Tonight? I don't have plans.
Yes, okay. All right.
Hey, Dae-seong.
I have to leave early tonight.
I just made plans.
How can I eat all this by myself?
Were you going to finish it?
You have to keep in shape.
I'm going to eat it all!
Ms. Lee should be here by now.
Why is she so late?
What? You told me to dress up for a party.
Is this how you usually dress up?
You look like a different person.
I almost didn't recognize you.
Are you two trying to look like you're
going to a company dinner?
You look like the department head.
-And Wook, you're--
-A waiter.
Come on, that's tacky. I'm not a waiter!
How do I look like a waiter?
You totally look like one.
I booked a room under my name. Let's go.
Hey. What if you get drunk?
We're here for work.
I wanted a sip so this expensive liquor
wouldn't go to waste.
Anyway, what are we here to do?
Why don't we need a laptop or a plan?
I told you all we need is you.
What? You're making my heart flutter.
We just need you to go
to the ladies' room and get something,
since Wook and I can't go
in there ourselves.
He's right.
If we tried that, we'd get arrested.
We will stand guard, though.
If it's something in the ladies' room,
it must belong to a woman.
Is it a recording of an affair? Or a drug?
It's neither.
TOILE
There's a key inside the storage room door
in front of the toilet.
The key opens the tissue dispenser
in the second stall.
Look inside the hole.
What's in here?
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
What a jerk!
What's taking so long?
What if someone else found it already?
Or maybe it's gone.
Jong-a!
Jong-a!
Gosh, my head hurts.
What are you looking at?
I haven't seen you before.
Are you new here?
Let's have a drink in my room.
-I'll be your regular customer.
-Why would I go to your room?
Are you high?
How dare a bar girl talk back
to a customer?
Listen, I'm also a paying customer
who came here to have a drink.
And did you call me a bar girl?
How dare you mock someone's job
in this day and age?
You also just touched me and hit on me.
I won't let it slide.
Do you have a death wish?
Who the hell are you?
Did you say death wish?
Are you talking about yourself?
Babe, are you all right?
He just groped me.
-Hey, I didn't grope you!
-You bastard!
You damned jerk. How dare you grope her?
I could break your wrist
as if they were twigs.
We're onto you.
That jerk is the guy in the video.
Are you sure?
Yes. Should we go to the police now?
-Why the police?
-To hand over the flash drive.
We must report him to the police
to teach him a lesson!
No.
Not yet.
Why not?
This video will get him arrested for sure.
There's more.
We're going to find more evidence
to send him packing.
Is that what the client wants?
-The lady in the video?
-Yes.
Who is she anyway?
What?
Someone I know.
What?
You look nice when you smile.
Keep on smiling while you can.
-Hello?
-What should I do?
Forget about the guys.
Just get the girl.
CASE REPOR
STAND DOWN, CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION!
If you find anything suspicious
about my daughter's death,
please get to the bottom of it.
I will fully cooperate.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Are you kidding me? How is that possible?
What do you mean
he'll be sentenced next week?
You said you went to the trial.
You must've seen everything.
He confessed and the evidence was clear.
Come on! Kang Myeong-jin is toying
with you! Can't you see that?
Didn't Jun-ho say anything?
He did. So we went through
the profiling report again--
Okay, fine. I'm hanging up. Bye!
Damn, this is frustrating!
Kang Myeong-jin, that bastard…
Hey, Detective Lee.
-Print out the files on Kang Myeong-jin.
-Yes, sir.
Search for unsolved cases
in his old neighborhood.
JIHAN-DONG CASES
What are you guys doing?
This old lady's case. Wasn't it
on the TV show, Unresolved Questions?
Her body was tied up with twine
and abandoned in a field of reeds.
She used to collect scrap paper.
Why are you looking at that case?
To catch Kang Myeong-jin.
There are two missing person cases too.
If anyone asks, we're investigating
missing person cases in this neighborhood.
-Okay.
-Call the local police.
And submit this old lady's evidence
for DNA testing.
Since it was from 2006,
we might get some new information.
You act like you're the team leader.
We already arrested Kang Myeong-jin.
What more is there to investigate?
Just let us run a DNA comparison test.
We're using existing evidence anyway.
Once we secure her DNA,
should I compare it to Kang Myeong-jin's?
Why are you asking him?
Seriously!
Do whatever you want.
If any issues arise,
make sure you take responsibility.
I'll get going then.
We have so many other cases.
Why are you looking into someone
we've already arrested?
Kang Myeong-jin
didn't just kill Kim Mi-ok.
Trust me.
If I'm wrong,
I'll be…
I'll be your son.
If you were my son, I would've--
-Stop it!
-Fine! Do whatever you want!
Thomas told me everything.
What you did was horrible.
Nothing in the world is for free.
Right, Miss?
To be honest,
I've been through a lot as well.
I don't care about your life story.
-Prove it.
-Prove what?
That you're alive.
That you're different from me.
Miss.
That thing in your pocket.
Is that a knife?
I'm just asking because
I want you to use that knife to stab me.
Don't try to play tricks on me.
You asked me to show you proof!
Play along and stab me.
I won't feel a thing.
Fascinating, isn't it?
I won't feel a thing
even if you stab me, beat me, or kick me.
No wonder Thomas is furious.
That's why he locked me up in here.
Because this is the only way to harass me.
How can you see me when you're alive?
At first, I didn't believe that
everyone in this village was dead.
So I wanted to confirm it myself.
I met up with their families
outside this village.
That's how I came to believe it.
I don't know what Thomas has told you,
but I'm not as bad as you think.
I tried so hard to help these people.
I swear, I worked really hard!
What exactly did you do to help them?
Hey!
Hey, babe.
-What is it this time?
-What did you say?
Come here.
Where were you yesterday?
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
That bastard!
I should go break his wrists!
How can he beat up a woman?
Come on! Why do you always
take out your anger on me?
Who else would I take it out on?
It's just you and me here.
You should do it on this guy!
Right.
Gosh… I don't know what to do.
-What do you mean?
-I want to go see him right now.
And grab him by his collar,
but Jang-mi said she likes it here.
What?
She didn't want anybody to find this.
That's why I hurried over there
before someone else could find it.
Jang-mi wants
to stay here for a long time.
I get it.
After getting beaten up like this,
she might prefer to live here.
Still, we need to catch the culprit.
Of course.
You decide what we should do.
Go talk to Jang-mi or something.
I'll be out for a while.
Where are you going?
I need to check a few things
with Detective Shin
and I have dinner plans.
Try to keep a low profile.
You'll be in big trouble
if you get caught by Manager Wang.
Okay, Dad. You take care of yourself too.
Goodness, I never had a son like you.
Be careful.
They still need to eat,
so I went to feed them,
but I had one leftover lunchbox.
I let him go.
The keys were missing earlier,
so I figured that was the case.
I said I'd stay out of it.
You made a choice
and you'll have to face the consequences.
But…
don't get your hopes up.
He tricks people by giving them hope
and rubs salt in their wounds.
-If your fiancé falls for his trap--
-Do you think I wouldn't know that?
I learned to read people's faces
before I learned to talk.
I know whether someone likes me or not,
or if someone is being real or fake.
I just instinctively know.
It's a superpower I gained
from growing up in a children's home.
I instantly knew what kind of man
Hwang Du-cheol was.
As you said,
he would lure people in
like a snake and bite them.
I know what bait he'll use on Jun-ho
and that he'll ask for money.
But
it's the bait I threw Hwang Du-cheol.
Do you think your fiancé
will figure that out?
Of course!
I'm not worried
about what he might do to Jun-ho.
I'm worried that
he might not go see Jun-ho.
I told you to come to the police station.
Why did you ask to meet here?
This place is safer.
What if something happens to me?
There are many cameras
filming me all around.
He's got nowhere to hide.
-Did you go see Chairwoman Han?
-Yes, and so did you.
You went to see her
instead of Manager Wang.
I sent someone else
to Manager Wang's office,
but he found nothing useful.
Anyway, you told Chairwoman Han
that your mom passed away.
Right. Two days after her daughter died,
my mom disappeared into thin air.
If she moved out, got hospitalized,
or went abroad,
there would be some sort of record,
but I can't find anything.
So the logical conclusion
is that she's dead.
Two days after?
How do you know the exact date?
She wrote me a letter that day
and disappeared.
What letter? What did she say?
It's more of a memo.
"Stay strong. I'll come back to get you."
Well, she didn't in the end.
Did your mother know?
Know what?
I think Kim Su-yeon
was murdered.
This is Kim Su-yeon,
Chairwoman Han's daughter.
Do you recognize her?
I vaguely remember her.
Let me ask you a question.
I thought you were looking
for Choi Yeo-na.
Why are you so obsessed
with Chairwoman Han?
Kim Su-yeon had a baby.
Chairwoman Han thought
she had a miscarriage,
but she found evidence
that the baby might still be alive.
That's why she left some shares
for her grandchild in her will.
Then did they kill Nam-guk
because he was
Chairwoman Han's grandchild?
According to the DNA test results,
Jang Myeong-gyu, Kim Nam-guk, Choi Yeo-na…
None of them were biologically
related to Chairwoman Han.
I don't know who killed them,
but they didn't find her grandchild,
so the murders aren't over yet.
I must find the culprit
as soon as possible
in order to find Yeo-na.
Hello?
Detective Shin Jun-ho?
-Yes, that's me. Who are you?
-You know Choi Yeo-na?
Who are you? Where is Yeo-na now?
I'm risking my life for this,
so I'll get straight to the point.
Have 50 million won ready in cash
and wait for me to call you back.
How can I trust you?
Come on, why would you trust me?
You must trust your fiancée.
Let's see…
She said she was sorry
for canceling the pre-wedding photoshoot
and for changing her passcode too.
That's already a known fact.
Give me clear proof that Yeo-na is alive.
No wonder you're a cop. You're very smart.
Bernard Buffet.
I don't know much about art,
but do you remember what you said
when you proposed to her?
Detective Baek. Boss!
There's a witness who saw Yeo-na!
What did they say?
Where is she? Is she alive?
Give me the number. Look up the signal.
I have the information, so find him.
-Okay.
-Who called you?
-Are you sure he saw her?
-Did you record it?
Yes. He demanded cash.
Bernard Buffet.
-How dare he demand ransom from a cop?
-Be quiet. Let me listen.
I don't know much about art,
but do you remember what you said
when you proposed to her?
Yeo-na was wearing the necklace
you gave her when you proposed to her.
Also the artwork from the exhibition.
She said you gave it to her as a gift.
She asked if it was still hanging
in the living room.
Only Yeo-na and I know about this.
Who is he? Can you think of anyone?
He could be one
of the guys that kidnapped Yeo-na,
someone who's holding Yeo-na hostage
after she escaped,
or…
He said he would call again,
so let's get ready before then.
It wasn't forced open.
It was opened with a key.
Someone let Hwang Du-cheol go.
I'm aware of it.
Yeo-na did it.
Why did she do that?
Did she send him to her fiancé?
Yes.
It looks like everyone
has a plan these days.
I've been very foolish.
I used to think I was responsible
for everything in this village,
but now I realize that
things could turn out better
if I get help from my great comrades.
I'm glad you finally realized that.
What's going on between you two?
Why don't we have a drink together?
Sounds great.
-It's about time we had some rare liquor!
-You'd better brace yourself.
I have something to discuss
with Jun-su's mom. Get the drinks ready.
The days have gotten longer.
You're right. I found the flash drive
that Jang-mi told us about.
Really?
So she'll be gone soon?
Yes.
I haven't handed it over to the police.
That jerk needs to get arrested,
but I couldn't ignore
what Jang-mi told us.
Still, she should go.
She can't stay here forever.
By the way, I haven't seen
that young man around recently.
Who?
Wook?
He's probably having fun somewhere.
How did he end up coming here?
I'm sure you know, Mr. Jang.
You need to find his body too.
I don't know everything.
And even if I did,
I can't find every single body.
Anyway, I don't know.
He won't answer my questions.
Okay. Well.
I'm having a drink with Thomas
and Detective Park at Café Hawaii.
You guys are drinking again?
That's it?
Detective Park asked me
to get scolded in his place.
Go easy on the alcohol.
Don't be too harsh on Detective Park!
Even though I'm his mom…
I don't even know how my son died.
Mom, are you crying?
No.
I'm not crying.
You said you wanted to know where Mr. Jang
goes carrying that backpack, right?
So I did some research.
Jang Hyeon-ji.
It's his daughter.
She went missing 15 years ago.
Missing?
She went missing at an amusement park
and still hasn't been found yet.
His wife committed suicide
not too long after that incident.
I think Mr. Jang still goes around
the whole country looking for Hyeon-ji.
He installs banners at highway rest areas
and hands out flyers.
That actually costs a lot of money.
Before Hyeon-ji went missing,
he owned a small company
and he had quite a lot of money,
but he spent it all looking for Hyeon-ji.
Now he's got nothing left.
That old man…
He didn't even tell me.
There are a lot of con artists
who are after the reward.
He almost got conned again recently,
but I helped him catch the guy.
They say you can't scratch your own back.
Yet he's always busy taking care
of other people's problems.
What was that?
You guys must be hungry. Eat up.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
LEE JONG-A SENT AN EMERGENCY CALL
It's a device for emergencies.
Press SOS if anything happens.
Then the other two will receive
the person's location.
Does it work no matter where you go?
Yes, even to the ends of the Earth.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Who are you?
Obviously, I'm the guy
who's eagerly waiting for you
with your girlfriend.
Don't you dare lay a finger on Jong-a!
You hear me?
Look at you, trying to threaten me.
Come here by yourself.
If I hear sirens or see a police car,
I'll kill her.
You should've kept a low profile.
Why did you meddle in my affairs?
I'll be right there, so let her go.
She knows nothing!
Her fate depends on you.
Hey!
Hey! Goddamn it.
It's not him. Let me answer this.
-I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.
-Manager Wang kidnapped Jong-a.
What?
They're somewhere near the coast
of Incheon. I'm on my way there.
They'll kill Jong-a right away
if they see the police.
So please come alone.
I'm really sorry, but I can't right now.
I'm supposed to meet a guy who saw Yeo-na,
so I'm waiting for him to call.
I understand how you must be feeling,
but we must
save the living first!
The living?
What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know who he is,
but if he said he saw Yeo-na,
he's a scammer. Don't trust him.
I'm asking you again.
What the hell are you talking about?!
Choi Yeo-na…
is dead.
I'm a man of my word.
Of course, I do it my way.
But I know better than anyone
how it feels to lose someone you love.
I promise I'll call Detective Shin.
Please hurry.
Our wedding is in three days.
If you're going to talk bullshit,
just hang up, you bastard.
Hyeon-ji.
Hyeon-ji.
Daddy had a drink
with Thomas and Detective Park.
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
My baby.
Gosh, why do I get so silly
every time I'm drunk?
Good night.
Goodness, where's Wook?
Why isn't he back yet? It's late.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I love--
What's this?
No way…
What's wrong? Who was it?
Nothing.
-It's him.
-We'll trace the number, so answer it.
Hello?
Detective Shin, did you prepare the money?
Yes, I did. Where should I go?
Come to Hongdae.
I'll call you in 30 minutes.
Are you sure she's alive?
Come on, I told you
I met her this morning.
Your wedding is in three days, right?
Wait, let me see.
It's past midnight now,
so I guess it's in two days.
I'll come right now. See you in Hongdae.
Move in teams of two.
Detective Shin and Detective Baek.
-Take the money and go now.
-You two wait near Hongdae.
Let's go!
Are you up?
Why won't you stay still?
Do we have to hit you to keep you quiet?
What's that? Go and check. Hurry!
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
Jong-a.
If you exit through the back door
and turn left, you'll see my car.
-Take it and get out of here.
-Come with me.
I'll be right behind you.
Where do you think you're going?
Come on.
Get them!
Get them now!
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
WOOK
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
MS. LEE JONG-A
The number you have dialed is unavailable.
Please leave a message after--
Can you drive faster?
I was there.
There's something about this place.
Wait, do you actually believe it?
My son is alive!
Please tell me where Yeo-na is first.
Will we be able to find
Hyeon-ji with this?
I won't give up.
I remembered something important.
Why are you involved with
everything and everyone?
If you had told me from the beginning…
Why didn't you tell me?
Being left behind is also painful.
They have figured out
that you killed them.
Subtitle translation by: Jae-won Lee
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
What day is today?
I lost count after the 500th day.
Your efforts were in vain.
It's meaningless to count the days here.
That may be the case for you, Thomas.
But I'm different.
Consider yourself lucky
that you're different from me.
What?
Are you going to stab me?
I already did it
several times in my head.
Turn on the light!
Turn on the light!
Turn on the light, Thomas!
You're violating my human rights!
Who are you?
Where's Thomas?
Thomas didn't come with you?
He locked me up in here. Undo this for me!
Why would Thomas…
I don't know!
He's a frightening man.
He's more than he seems!
Here…
He wouldn't lock someone up for no reason.
Let's go.
Wait!
You guys are dead, aren't you?
I'm not dead. I'm alive!
What did he just say?
Yeo-na, let's get out of here.
No. Wait! Hey!
That man just said that he's alive.
You heard it too, right?
Yes.
Go and call Thomas.
Let's meet at Café Hawaii.
-Where are you going?
-To get Mr. Jang.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Mr. Jang!
Mr. Jang!
What's all this fuss about?
We're not the only living people here!
There's someone else!
What are you talking about?
You didn't know either?
Who are they?
His name is Hwang Du-cheol.
There were others too.
There are five in total.
There used to be seven,
but two of them disappeared one day.
Why did you lock them up?
Because they're evil.
I get that, but even so, it's a little…
If Woo Il-seok hadn't disappeared,
I would've locked him up as well.
I can't let people who assault women,
take children hostage, and wield a knife
roam free.
Hwang Du-cheol?
He said he's different from us.
He said he's alive.
Right.
He's different from us.
In this world, he deceived us
and in the outside world,
he scammed our families.
And when he ran out of money,
he looked for new prey.
He swindled people
who miss their loved ones.
What he did was
kill those who were already dead.
Are you sure he's alive?
-Yes.
-You said the living can't see us.
You said they can't see me
no matter what I do.
But that man even talked to me.
Wook, you saw it too. Say something.
Right, I saw it too.
I don't know why he can see us.
All I can tell you is that he's different
and he used that difference
to do bad things.
That's enough.
It's getting late.
Let's talk again tomorrow.
Take her home.
Mr. Jang's right. It's getting late.
Let's go.
Do you believe what Thomas said?
What?
Do you believe that man is alive?
What about you? Do you believe him?
I don't know.
When I first met you on the hill,
Jun-ho was there.
I shouted out and called his name,
but he didn't see me and just drove on.
Right, I remember.
Jun-ho can't see me,
so how come that man can?
Good question.
I wonder why.
There are two possibilities.
Either Thomas is lying,
or that man is lying.
Or…
they're both right.
The things that happen in this village
don't make sense at all.
When it came to village affairs,
I let you take care of things
and observed from a distance,
but I was surprised this time.
Why?
-Because I locked up a living person?
-No, that's not why.
Why did you do it by yourself?
You could have tipped me off.
What would that have changed?
Instead of keeping him locked up here,
I could've reported him to the police.
Hwang Du-cheol is a sly snake.
He's nothing like you.
He never mourned the dead--
Why are you taking on that burden
on your own?
Because I'm on my own.
Many people have come and gone
from this place.
To me, you're also just someone
who will pass through this village.
You know what?
Even though
our circumstances are different,
I thought we were companions
walking the same path…
but I guess it was just me.
Am I just someone who will disappear
one day like the wind?
That's really upsetting.
He's different from us.
In this world, he deceived us
and in the outside world,
he scammed our families.
I'm not dead. I'm alive!
I can somewhat understand Thomas,
but not completely.
I feel bad for him.
Well, that too.
But there's someone else
who can see the dead other than us.
That's right.
The fact that Yeo-na knows
is bothering me.
What if you and I get caught?
That's why you must be extra careful.
What's the use of skin and bones?
We can only trust our comrades.
I don't blame anyone.
I'm sure this too shall pass.
I had no idea there was a place like this.
-How many are locked up in here, anyway?
-Five, according to Thomas.
Let me go, you bastard!
It's the jerk who wielded an axe at me!
He disappeared one day,
so I thought he went to hell.
But he was right here.
-You know just by hearing his voice?
-How could I forget his voice?
A lowlife like that should rot
behind bars for a hundred years.
Thomas!
Thomas, I'm sorry.
Please turn on the light!
Hey, it's been a while, Detective Park!
Do you guys know each other?
You bastard! Because of you, my mother…
Do you know how she died?
Come on, it's a misunderstanding!
Is he the guy who stole
your mother's money?
Yes.
You took her life's savings
and promised her that you'd find me.
Because of you, my mother
died of stress!
What? How did you know that?
Did another living person come here
other than me?
Why do you want to know that? Why?
-Come on, let's get out of here.
-No!
-That's not true! Detective Park!
-Let go of me!
-Come on!
-You can't just leave me here!
That bastard…
So that con artist was Hwang Du-cheol.
Right?
If you hadn't visited
my mother in my hometown,
I would've never known
about what he did to my family.
Thomas only locked up
the worst kind of criminals!
We shouldn't release these jerks!
Come in.
Have you been eating? You've lost weight.
I'm fine.
What brings you here?
How's the search for Yeo-na going?
Are you even worried about her?
Jun-ho. How can you say that?
I know you hate her.
You never approved of our marriage.
I don't want her as my daughter-in-law,
but I'm still worried about her.
There's news of her disappearance,
and she's yet to be found even though
you've been searching day and night.
It makes me think something bad
might have happened to her.
Of course I'm worried about her.
We haven't found her yet.
Does it have something to do
with the children's home?
I heard Myeong-gyu and Nam-guk died too.
Yes, I think so. It's an ongoing case,
so I can't go into detail.
Mom, I need to get going. Get home safe.
I'm looking for my grandchild.
My daughter's child.
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.
Why is this happening now?
Why did you ask to see me?
After hearing what you said,
I gave the matter a lot of thought.
If something horrible is happening
because of me,
I must stop it.
That's why I wanted to see you.
This is a copy of my will.
As you saw on the news,
I'm going to donate all of my wealth.
And I'm going to give my company shares
to these three people listed in my will.
WILL
But only if I fail to find my grandchild.
So these three will benefit
from these deaths.
Do they all know the contents of the will?
But the details of my will were announced
after the accidents took place.
Why are you looking
for your grandchild after all these years?
After making up my mind to write a will,
I started to look back on my life.
Among my daughter's things that
I couldn't throw away for 27 years,
I found her diary.
All this time,
I thought she had a miscarriage,
but when I read her diary,
it sounded like she had a baby.
The moment I read that,
my heart began to race.
When my daughter was pregnant,
she got into a car accident.
After that, I wasn't able
to communicate with her.
Then one day, when she was home alone,
she got into another accident…
and unfortunately passed away.
Are you sure she was alone at home
when the accident occurred?
My housekeeper came back
from grocery shopping and reported it.
My daughter had been alone.
This is my daughter, Su-yeon.
If you find anything suspicious
about my daughter's death,
please get to the bottom of it.
I will fully cooperate.
Okay, thank you.
Oh. I'm not sure if this will help,
but not long ago,
the housekeeper's son came to see me.
-You mean Kim Wook?
-Do you know him?
What did he say?
That his mother also died
after Su-yeon died.
His mother died?
How many people did you lock up?
-Goodness, you're scary.
-What do you mean he's scary?
It's scarier to have criminals
roam around the village.
She's right. After getting stabbed,
I stayed home for days because
I was terrified of running into him.
Still, he should've taken a vote.
Am I wrong?
That's what I'm saying!
There might be innocent people
who got locked up.
I'm saying this as a former cop.
Those jerks would've been locked up
in jail even if they were alive.
If you let them go,
none of you will sleep in peace.
I didn't say we should let them go.
I just want order in the village.
This village doesn't always
get good people like you.
Some had committed evil acts
and some were cruel.
Because I know you must've all
experienced hardship when you were alive,
I wanted you all to be at peace here.
I'll stay out of it,
so take a vote or let him go.
Do whatever you want.
You want order? Please.
You'll be gone the second
your bodies are found.
Thomas took care of the dirty work
because he has a good heart.
Exactly.
Just think about this for a minute.
It's all thanks to Thomas
that we're able to live comfortably.
Whenever you need help,
you look for Thomas.
But did any of you look out for him?
According to your logic,
Thomas didn't have to do anything.
But every time something happened
in the village, he took care of it
and locked up the bad guys.
Of course we're grateful for what
he has done for us.
Instead of sitting back and giving orders,
go catch the bad guys
and punish them yourselves!
-Let's just leave them.
-We should know this.
We should be grateful.
-Exactly.
-I agree.
I'm starting to feel bad.
Jun-su's mom.
Why don't you go and console Thomas?
He did all the dirty work,
yet he got blamed.
I feel sorry for him.
Who am I to console him?
I'm just a wind that will be gone one day.
Never mind.
The police are looking for Jang-mi.
Really?
Her colleague filed a report.
You're close to Jang-mi.
Did she tell you anything?
When that law student was here,
she said she had evidence
of her killer's crimes hidden somewhere.
What did she hide? And where?
I have no idea.
Hyeon-mi, are you okay?
Jang-mi, come here!
After they heard what you said,
they became quiet and left.
I don't like them.
Jang-mi.
The guy you call a piece of trash.
You have proof of what he did to you
hidden somewhere, right?
Right. I saved it on a flash drive
and hid it somewhere safe.
Where did you hide it?
The place I used to work.
Why do you ask?
Jun-su's mom was telling me
about how smart you are.
Come on, if I was smart,
I wouldn't have gotten beaten up.
In order to report him to the cops,
I took videos of him hitting me
and of him doing drugs
and hid them in the ladies' room,
but I died without telling anyone.
It was completely useless!
No, it's a jackpot!
If the cops find that,
he'll be locked up for sure.
But
I don't want them to find it.
Why not?
Because if they do, he'll get arrested
and my body will be located.
Then I'll have to leave this place.
-I love it here.
-How naïve of you.
Hey, who knows?
You might go somewhere even better.
But you won't be there.
Or Thomas,
Beom-su,
Yeong-ho,
and Mr. Jang.
It's not that I like this place.
I like the people here.
I guess you guys grew on me.
Don't get too attached.
It'll only give you a hard time later.
After Ms. Choi left,
I kept seeing things for a while.
Too bad.
I already like you.
-Go away.
-No!
Go away!
I'm jealous of your friendship.
I should get going.
Did we make him feel left out?
-I had so much fun on Memory Day.
-What? Why aren't there any photos?
Whose photos?
Never mind.
There aren't any photos
of that handsome guy or Mr. Jang.
Well, Mr. Jang was busy
taking photos of us.
Wook was busy too.
He installed all the lights here
and helped me with the projector.
Did he?
I see.
Let's go. I told the kids to play outside.
-Bye.
-See you.
You're a workaholic, aren't you?
I've never seen you take a break.
You're either working at the café
or working on something here.
Or you're going around the village
and fixing all the broken things.
Or
you're catching bad guys
and locking them up yourself.
There you go again.
Hey, be honest.
You've never closed the café
and taken a day off, right?
So you've never done it.
You've never taken a day off.
In the outside world,
you're not supposed to work
more than 52 hours a week.
Working too much is an illness.
You need to get it treated.
Living diligently is an illness?
-I've never heard of that before.
-I'm not joking.
You don't get any recognition
even if you work hard all by yourself.
What's your point?
I want to be alone, so please leave.
I just told you.
Don't try to do it all on your own.
You have me and Mr. Jang.
What are friends for?
We can share your burden,
catch the bad guys together,
and get blamed for it together too.
Damn, you look so serious.
I'm off.
Are you sad that there's no photo of you?
Speaking of which, Ms. Kim was wondering
why there weren't any photos of you.
Photos of me?
Yes, only you and Mr. Jang
are missing in the photos.
It's because I look better in person.
The camera can't capture
my handsome looks.
So how did the hearing go?
Thomas seemed crestfallen. Poor guy.
You sound like a father
who's worried about his child.
What do you mean? I'm a bachelor.
Anyway, it wasn't really a hearing.
Jun-su's mom was…
I mean your mom was furious.
Who?
Your mom.
Mom…
This feels weird.
Maybe it's because I've been
without a mom for so long.
She did sound really angry.
What? Were you there?
I was just passing by.
Her voice was so loud that
I could hear everything from outside.
You have a temper just like her,
but your mom always says what's right,
while you always talk nonsense.
What do you mean?
My problem is that I'm too righteous.
Anyway, this must run in the family.
Yes. By the way, we need to go somewhere
later tonight.
-Where?
-To find Jang-mi's killer.
Jang-mi took videos of what he did
and hid them somewhere.
Give Ms. Lee a heads-up.
-Is Jong-a joining us?
-Yes. We need her.
Why don't you gain weight
when you eat so much?
I get bloated just from drinking water.
You shouldn't eat too much.
Idols need to stay fit.
Oh, right. Did a guy
with a ponytail come by today?
No.
That's weird. I ran into him in the hall
when I went out to get lunch.
He was looking at our shop,
so I thought he was a client.
I ran into him again
in front of the elevator just now.
Really?
One second.
Hey, Wook.
Tonight? I don't have plans.
Yes, okay. All right.
Hey, Dae-seong.
I have to leave early tonight.
I just made plans.
How can I eat all this by myself?
Were you going to finish it?
You have to keep in shape.
I'm going to eat it all!
Ms. Lee should be here by now.
Why is she so late?
What? You told me to dress up for a party.
Is this how you usually dress up?
You look like a different person.
I almost didn't recognize you.
Are you two trying to look like you're
going to a company dinner?
You look like the department head.
-And Wook, you're--
-A waiter.
Come on, that's tacky. I'm not a waiter!
How do I look like a waiter?
You totally look like one.
I booked a room under my name. Let's go.
Hey. What if you get drunk?
We're here for work.
I wanted a sip so this expensive liquor
wouldn't go to waste.
Anyway, what are we here to do?
Why don't we need a laptop or a plan?
I told you all we need is you.
What? You're making my heart flutter.
We just need you to go
to the ladies' room and get something,
since Wook and I can't go
in there ourselves.
He's right.
If we tried that, we'd get arrested.
We will stand guard, though.
If it's something in the ladies' room,
it must belong to a woman.
Is it a recording of an affair? Or a drug?
It's neither.
TOILE
There's a key inside the storage room door
in front of the toilet.
The key opens the tissue dispenser
in the second stall.
Look inside the hole.
What's in here?
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
What a jerk!
What's taking so long?
What if someone else found it already?
Or maybe it's gone.
Jong-a!
Jong-a!
Gosh, my head hurts.
What are you looking at?
I haven't seen you before.
Are you new here?
Let's have a drink in my room.
-I'll be your regular customer.
-Why would I go to your room?
Are you high?
How dare a bar girl talk back
to a customer?
Listen, I'm also a paying customer
who came here to have a drink.
And did you call me a bar girl?
How dare you mock someone's job
in this day and age?
You also just touched me and hit on me.
I won't let it slide.
Do you have a death wish?
Who the hell are you?
Did you say death wish?
Are you talking about yourself?
Babe, are you all right?
He just groped me.
-Hey, I didn't grope you!
-You bastard!
You damned jerk. How dare you grope her?
I could break your wrist
as if they were twigs.
We're onto you.
That jerk is the guy in the video.
Are you sure?
Yes. Should we go to the police now?
-Why the police?
-To hand over the flash drive.
We must report him to the police
to teach him a lesson!
No.
Not yet.
Why not?
This video will get him arrested for sure.
There's more.
We're going to find more evidence
to send him packing.
Is that what the client wants?
-The lady in the video?
-Yes.
Who is she anyway?
What?
Someone I know.
What?
You look nice when you smile.
Keep on smiling while you can.
-Hello?
-What should I do?
Forget about the guys.
Just get the girl.
CASE REPOR
STAND DOWN, CHOISEUNG CONSTRUCTION!
If you find anything suspicious
about my daughter's death,
please get to the bottom of it.
I will fully cooperate.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Are you kidding me? How is that possible?
What do you mean
he'll be sentenced next week?
You said you went to the trial.
You must've seen everything.
He confessed and the evidence was clear.
Come on! Kang Myeong-jin is toying
with you! Can't you see that?
Didn't Jun-ho say anything?
He did. So we went through
the profiling report again--
Okay, fine. I'm hanging up. Bye!
Damn, this is frustrating!
Kang Myeong-jin, that bastard…
Hey, Detective Lee.
-Print out the files on Kang Myeong-jin.
-Yes, sir.
Search for unsolved cases
in his old neighborhood.
JIHAN-DONG CASES
What are you guys doing?
This old lady's case. Wasn't it
on the TV show, Unresolved Questions?
Her body was tied up with twine
and abandoned in a field of reeds.
She used to collect scrap paper.
Why are you looking at that case?
To catch Kang Myeong-jin.
There are two missing person cases too.
If anyone asks, we're investigating
missing person cases in this neighborhood.
-Okay.
-Call the local police.
And submit this old lady's evidence
for DNA testing.
Since it was from 2006,
we might get some new information.
You act like you're the team leader.
We already arrested Kang Myeong-jin.
What more is there to investigate?
Just let us run a DNA comparison test.
We're using existing evidence anyway.
Once we secure her DNA,
should I compare it to Kang Myeong-jin's?
Why are you asking him?
Seriously!
Do whatever you want.
If any issues arise,
make sure you take responsibility.
I'll get going then.
We have so many other cases.
Why are you looking into someone
we've already arrested?
Kang Myeong-jin
didn't just kill Kim Mi-ok.
Trust me.
If I'm wrong,
I'll be…
I'll be your son.
If you were my son, I would've--
-Stop it!
-Fine! Do whatever you want!
Thomas told me everything.
What you did was horrible.
Nothing in the world is for free.
Right, Miss?
To be honest,
I've been through a lot as well.
I don't care about your life story.
-Prove it.
-Prove what?
That you're alive.
That you're different from me.
Miss.
That thing in your pocket.
Is that a knife?
I'm just asking because
I want you to use that knife to stab me.
Don't try to play tricks on me.
You asked me to show you proof!
Play along and stab me.
I won't feel a thing.
Fascinating, isn't it?
I won't feel a thing
even if you stab me, beat me, or kick me.
No wonder Thomas is furious.
That's why he locked me up in here.
Because this is the only way to harass me.
How can you see me when you're alive?
At first, I didn't believe that
everyone in this village was dead.
So I wanted to confirm it myself.
I met up with their families
outside this village.
That's how I came to believe it.
I don't know what Thomas has told you,
but I'm not as bad as you think.
I tried so hard to help these people.
I swear, I worked really hard!
What exactly did you do to help them?
Hey!
Hey, babe.
-What is it this time?
-What did you say?
Come here.
Where were you yesterday?
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
That bastard!
I should go break his wrists!
How can he beat up a woman?
Come on! Why do you always
take out your anger on me?
Who else would I take it out on?
It's just you and me here.
You should do it on this guy!
Right.
Gosh… I don't know what to do.
-What do you mean?
-I want to go see him right now.
And grab him by his collar,
but Jang-mi said she likes it here.
What?
She didn't want anybody to find this.
That's why I hurried over there
before someone else could find it.
Jang-mi wants
to stay here for a long time.
I get it.
After getting beaten up like this,
she might prefer to live here.
Still, we need to catch the culprit.
Of course.
You decide what we should do.
Go talk to Jang-mi or something.
I'll be out for a while.
Where are you going?
I need to check a few things
with Detective Shin
and I have dinner plans.
Try to keep a low profile.
You'll be in big trouble
if you get caught by Manager Wang.
Okay, Dad. You take care of yourself too.
Goodness, I never had a son like you.
Be careful.
They still need to eat,
so I went to feed them,
but I had one leftover lunchbox.
I let him go.
The keys were missing earlier,
so I figured that was the case.
I said I'd stay out of it.
You made a choice
and you'll have to face the consequences.
But…
don't get your hopes up.
He tricks people by giving them hope
and rubs salt in their wounds.
-If your fiancé falls for his trap--
-Do you think I wouldn't know that?
I learned to read people's faces
before I learned to talk.
I know whether someone likes me or not,
or if someone is being real or fake.
I just instinctively know.
It's a superpower I gained
from growing up in a children's home.
I instantly knew what kind of man
Hwang Du-cheol was.
As you said,
he would lure people in
like a snake and bite them.
I know what bait he'll use on Jun-ho
and that he'll ask for money.
But
it's the bait I threw Hwang Du-cheol.
Do you think your fiancé
will figure that out?
Of course!
I'm not worried
about what he might do to Jun-ho.
I'm worried that
he might not go see Jun-ho.
I told you to come to the police station.
Why did you ask to meet here?
This place is safer.
What if something happens to me?
There are many cameras
filming me all around.
He's got nowhere to hide.
-Did you go see Chairwoman Han?
-Yes, and so did you.
You went to see her
instead of Manager Wang.
I sent someone else
to Manager Wang's office,
but he found nothing useful.
Anyway, you told Chairwoman Han
that your mom passed away.
Right. Two days after her daughter died,
my mom disappeared into thin air.
If she moved out, got hospitalized,
or went abroad,
there would be some sort of record,
but I can't find anything.
So the logical conclusion
is that she's dead.
Two days after?
How do you know the exact date?
She wrote me a letter that day
and disappeared.
What letter? What did she say?
It's more of a memo.
"Stay strong. I'll come back to get you."
Well, she didn't in the end.
Did your mother know?
Know what?
I think Kim Su-yeon
was murdered.
This is Kim Su-yeon,
Chairwoman Han's daughter.
Do you recognize her?
I vaguely remember her.
Let me ask you a question.
I thought you were looking
for Choi Yeo-na.
Why are you so obsessed
with Chairwoman Han?
Kim Su-yeon had a baby.
Chairwoman Han thought
she had a miscarriage,
but she found evidence
that the baby might still be alive.
That's why she left some shares
for her grandchild in her will.
Then did they kill Nam-guk
because he was
Chairwoman Han's grandchild?
According to the DNA test results,
Jang Myeong-gyu, Kim Nam-guk, Choi Yeo-na…
None of them were biologically
related to Chairwoman Han.
I don't know who killed them,
but they didn't find her grandchild,
so the murders aren't over yet.
I must find the culprit
as soon as possible
in order to find Yeo-na.
Hello?
Detective Shin Jun-ho?
-Yes, that's me. Who are you?
-You know Choi Yeo-na?
Who are you? Where is Yeo-na now?
I'm risking my life for this,
so I'll get straight to the point.
Have 50 million won ready in cash
and wait for me to call you back.
How can I trust you?
Come on, why would you trust me?
You must trust your fiancée.
Let's see…
She said she was sorry
for canceling the pre-wedding photoshoot
and for changing her passcode too.
That's already a known fact.
Give me clear proof that Yeo-na is alive.
No wonder you're a cop. You're very smart.
Bernard Buffet.
I don't know much about art,
but do you remember what you said
when you proposed to her?
Detective Baek. Boss!
There's a witness who saw Yeo-na!
What did they say?
Where is she? Is she alive?
Give me the number. Look up the signal.
I have the information, so find him.
-Okay.
-Who called you?
-Are you sure he saw her?
-Did you record it?
Yes. He demanded cash.
Bernard Buffet.
-How dare he demand ransom from a cop?
-Be quiet. Let me listen.
I don't know much about art,
but do you remember what you said
when you proposed to her?
Yeo-na was wearing the necklace
you gave her when you proposed to her.
Also the artwork from the exhibition.
She said you gave it to her as a gift.
She asked if it was still hanging
in the living room.
Only Yeo-na and I know about this.
Who is he? Can you think of anyone?
He could be one
of the guys that kidnapped Yeo-na,
someone who's holding Yeo-na hostage
after she escaped,
or…
He said he would call again,
so let's get ready before then.
It wasn't forced open.
It was opened with a key.
Someone let Hwang Du-cheol go.
I'm aware of it.
Yeo-na did it.
Why did she do that?
Did she send him to her fiancé?
Yes.
It looks like everyone
has a plan these days.
I've been very foolish.
I used to think I was responsible
for everything in this village,
but now I realize that
things could turn out better
if I get help from my great comrades.
I'm glad you finally realized that.
What's going on between you two?
Why don't we have a drink together?
Sounds great.
-It's about time we had some rare liquor!
-You'd better brace yourself.
I have something to discuss
with Jun-su's mom. Get the drinks ready.
The days have gotten longer.
You're right. I found the flash drive
that Jang-mi told us about.
Really?
So she'll be gone soon?
Yes.
I haven't handed it over to the police.
That jerk needs to get arrested,
but I couldn't ignore
what Jang-mi told us.
Still, she should go.
She can't stay here forever.
By the way, I haven't seen
that young man around recently.
Who?
Wook?
He's probably having fun somewhere.
How did he end up coming here?
I'm sure you know, Mr. Jang.
You need to find his body too.
I don't know everything.
And even if I did,
I can't find every single body.
Anyway, I don't know.
He won't answer my questions.
Okay. Well.
I'm having a drink with Thomas
and Detective Park at Café Hawaii.
You guys are drinking again?
That's it?
Detective Park asked me
to get scolded in his place.
Go easy on the alcohol.
Don't be too harsh on Detective Park!
Even though I'm his mom…
I don't even know how my son died.
Mom, are you crying?
No.
I'm not crying.
You said you wanted to know where Mr. Jang
goes carrying that backpack, right?
So I did some research.
Jang Hyeon-ji.
It's his daughter.
She went missing 15 years ago.
Missing?
She went missing at an amusement park
and still hasn't been found yet.
His wife committed suicide
not too long after that incident.
I think Mr. Jang still goes around
the whole country looking for Hyeon-ji.
He installs banners at highway rest areas
and hands out flyers.
That actually costs a lot of money.
Before Hyeon-ji went missing,
he owned a small company
and he had quite a lot of money,
but he spent it all looking for Hyeon-ji.
Now he's got nothing left.
That old man…
He didn't even tell me.
There are a lot of con artists
who are after the reward.
He almost got conned again recently,
but I helped him catch the guy.
They say you can't scratch your own back.
Yet he's always busy taking care
of other people's problems.
What was that?
You guys must be hungry. Eat up.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
LEE JONG-A SENT AN EMERGENCY CALL
It's a device for emergencies.
Press SOS if anything happens.
Then the other two will receive
the person's location.
Does it work no matter where you go?
Yes, even to the ends of the Earth.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Who are you?
Obviously, I'm the guy
who's eagerly waiting for you
with your girlfriend.
Don't you dare lay a finger on Jong-a!
You hear me?
Look at you, trying to threaten me.
Come here by yourself.
If I hear sirens or see a police car,
I'll kill her.
You should've kept a low profile.
Why did you meddle in my affairs?
I'll be right there, so let her go.
She knows nothing!
Her fate depends on you.
Hey!
Hey! Goddamn it.
It's not him. Let me answer this.
-I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.
-Manager Wang kidnapped Jong-a.
What?
They're somewhere near the coast
of Incheon. I'm on my way there.
They'll kill Jong-a right away
if they see the police.
So please come alone.
I'm really sorry, but I can't right now.
I'm supposed to meet a guy who saw Yeo-na,
so I'm waiting for him to call.
I understand how you must be feeling,
but we must
save the living first!
The living?
What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know who he is,
but if he said he saw Yeo-na,
he's a scammer. Don't trust him.
I'm asking you again.
What the hell are you talking about?!
Choi Yeo-na…
is dead.
I'm a man of my word.
Of course, I do it my way.
But I know better than anyone
how it feels to lose someone you love.
I promise I'll call Detective Shin.
Please hurry.
Our wedding is in three days.
If you're going to talk bullshit,
just hang up, you bastard.
Hyeon-ji.
Hyeon-ji.
Daddy had a drink
with Thomas and Detective Park.
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
My baby.
Gosh, why do I get so silly
every time I'm drunk?
Good night.
Goodness, where's Wook?
Why isn't he back yet? It's late.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I love--
What's this?
No way…
What's wrong? Who was it?
Nothing.
-It's him.
-We'll trace the number, so answer it.
Hello?
Detective Shin, did you prepare the money?
Yes, I did. Where should I go?
Come to Hongdae.
I'll call you in 30 minutes.
Are you sure she's alive?
Come on, I told you
I met her this morning.
Your wedding is in three days, right?
Wait, let me see.
It's past midnight now,
so I guess it's in two days.
I'll come right now. See you in Hongdae.
Move in teams of two.
Detective Shin and Detective Baek.
-Take the money and go now.
-You two wait near Hongdae.
Let's go!
Are you up?
Why won't you stay still?
Do we have to hit you to keep you quiet?
What's that? Go and check. Hurry!
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
Jong-a.
If you exit through the back door
and turn left, you'll see my car.
-Take it and get out of here.
-Come with me.
I'll be right behind you.
Where do you think you're going?
Come on.
Get them!
Get them now!
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
WOOK
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
MS. LEE JONG-A
The number you have dialed is unavailable.
Please leave a message after--
Can you drive faster?
I was there.
There's something about this place.
Wait, do you actually believe it?
My son is alive!
Please tell me where Yeo-na is first.
Will we be able to find
Hyeon-ji with this?
I won't give up.
I remembered something important.
Why are you involved with
everything and everyone?
If you had told me from the beginning…
Why didn't you tell me?
Being left behind is also painful.
They have figured out
that you killed them.
