The Frog (2024) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
1
She was going to bury something
at the rental.
She might have
killed somebody.
Did you send a text message
to Ms. Jeon Ui-seon
from Mr. Park Yong-chae's phone?
You've had disputes
with the rental owner, haven't you?
Is that why you lured his daughter?
Did you assault Ms. Jeon Ui-seon
and take her to the reservoir?
I wonder who she killed.
Where could the body be?
What are you on about?
Shut your mouth.
If I could send you to jail for this,
there would be no crime in this world.
Stabbing and locking up a man?
You'll claim
it was mutual assault or self-defense.
You stole a cell phone and used it
to lure a pregnant woman and attack her.
She was pregnant?
I bet you would've had more fun
if you'd known that before.
You going to the reservoir? A coincidence.
Running away from the police?
Because you got scared.
There are many excuses.
If you know that, why did you arrest me?
If you keep your mouth shut,
you'll probably walk out of here
with your lawyer.
So if you've done something
that's even more interesting than this,
you better keep those lips sealed tight.
That will make it even more fun for me.
You're completely insane.
I wonder who you've killed.
Where could the body be?
Oh, in the cornfield, perhaps?
Don't say another word.
Undo these cuffs now.
Captain, we need to search
the Dosang-ri cornfield immediately.
CHIEF'S OFFICE
Nothing to worry about, sir.
Yes, have a good night.
Un-fucking-believable.
I've heard that you pull crazy stunts
every so often
I need officers for a search.
You rude little
She might have committed murder.
You're out of line, you know that?
If you're wimping out,
at least let me do my job.
Wimp out?
Fuck, you better have a good reason
for your attitude.
Yoo Seong-a was going to purchase
these items yesterday.
To me, they look useful
for getting rid of a body.
She also said
she was going to bury something.
Suit yourself.
But these are two different cases.
Today's arrest
and the search you're requesting.
Find the body first,
but you're on your own.
If I don't find anything, I'll resign.
Sure. You arrested her without a warrant.
But what do you think will happen
if I find evidence that she's a murderer,
and you end up releasing her?
If it's revealed you deemed this arrest
as a voluntary interview,
citing its illegality
and muzzling your subordinates,
and you let a murderer go free
guess who will end up resigning?
Here she comes.
Captain.
I just turned over that strange footage
from the security camera to the police.
I also grabbed the bloody shirt
with plastic gloves on,
put them in a resealable bag,
and handed them over.
That will help Yoo Seong-a.
Sorry?
She visited the ER the day before
after her ex-husband beat her.
The blood on that shirt
is probably her own.
Domestic abuse, psychiatric treatments,
history of mental illnesses
She'll use them to her advantage.
Wait. But what does that
Shit, but
We performed emergency surgery
on the ruptured spleen.
It went well.
The cause of her unconsciousness
was found to be a drug.
A slight delay,
and she would've gone into shock.
Did you say a drug?
Yes, but luckily, she vomited.
I think she administered first aid
to herself before fainting.
That's how the baby managed to survive.
Thank you.
Could you tell me what drug it was?
She's asleep.
-Go on in.
-Okay.
-Hey.
-Yeong-ha!
This doesn't make any sense.
They're letting that nutjob
walk out of here.
Dr. Yoo's been busy this morning.
He wanted you out by any means possible.
As he should.
What about my passport? Did you bring it?
I told you to get it from the rental
so I can go straight to the airport.
I was rushing over to
Yeah, right.
You fucking crawled your way here.
Come with me to Seoul right away.
Your father said
this was your final chance.
Maybe I should report that woman.
She had me cuffed for two hours.
File the suit
and report to me once it's done.
-Mr. Jeon.
-She was released?
How can someone be released
a mere two hours after being arrested?
We will catch her again.
My daughter nearly died!
My family nearly died!
How could she get away with that?
Where is that woman right now?
What she planned to bury at your house
I'm going to find it no matter what.
I'll be leaving.
I'll be leaving tomorrow.
I don't have time for that now.
Mr. Jeon.
I don't care anymore.
Let's begin.
Start at the entrance. Single file.
-Get moving.
-Yes, sir!
Captain!
We'll look on this side!
Here!
Over here!
That's
Seon-tae
What?
That's our
Seon-tae.
Officer Kim.
Officer Kim!
Officer Kim?
Officer Kim
Officer Kim
Fire?
Where?
The laundromat?
Okay.
20 MISSED CALLS
As for you
I'll see you when I get back.
You thought the lawyer
was the only person
your father sent?
Dad sent you?
He knows you want to kill me.
And he sent you here?
Don't bullshit me, asshole.
He wanted you out by any means possible.
Your father said
this was your final chance.
SEONG-A
Answer the damn phone!
Dad?
Ha Jae-sik is right in front of me.
But for the life of me
I can't understand what the ass is saying.
He said you sent him. What does he mean?
This bastard is here to kill me.
Hello?
Say something!
Did you really send him?
Tell me it's not true,
you fucking son of a bitch!
This is where I killed Si-hyeon.
Shall we end this?
Shoot me.
Just when I was about to take the fall.
Shoot that man first and I'll tell you.
The remains in the columbarium?
Those aren't Si-hyeon's.
The cremated body.
I don't even know whose it is.
I dumped Si-hyeon's body somewhere else.
Somewhere only I know.
Si-hyeon must be so lonely.
His dad won't even come to see him.
All by himself in that icy water.
Or was it underground?
Where did you put him?
I just think it's unfair to die alone.
That bastard was my accomplice.
We killed your son together right here.
I told you, didn't I?
That I'd see this through to the end.
Come on, say something.
Cat got your tongue?
I'm sorry.
See?
For what?
What are you sorry for?
For letting Si-hyeon die alone.
It's unbearable to see
my own child suffering and in pain.
But Si-hyeon wasn't my child
so I thought,
"I might be wrong. He might be okay."
"I'm sure he's alive and well."
"I bet he's doing fine."
"I should carry on with my life,
and everything will just be okay."
Your child
died in this house.
I knew it
and chose to cover it up.
I'm sorry.
You sons of bitches.
You're so pitiful.
If I die,
I'm going to find your kid first
so I can kill him all over again,
and again, and again, and again.
I thought about why you did this.
I could only think of one reason.
You were waiting for me
to end your miserable existence.
I'll make your wish come true.
Drop your weapon!
Are you okay?
Drop it.
Out of the way, Mr. Jeon.
Don't shoot him.
This man Right now, he
No.
You've got the wrong person.
Don't shoot him.
You're in harm's way. Move.
We found the body.
I don't know the details,
but we have the same goal.
Bringing that woman down.
No matter what it takes,
I'm going to put her away for murder.
So drop the gun.
Mr. Jeon. Get back here.
You drop your gun first.
Drop it.
That's when
Mr. Jeon!
everything went wrong.
And I lost that woman.

KIM SEON-TAE
How are you doing?
I'm bored.
Come back to Violent Crimes
once you've recovered.
Grandpa!
Grandpa!
What are you looking for?
A torch or something
to melt the things that froze over.
Hey, Yeong-ha.
Haven't you ever had your pipes
or boiler freeze and burst?
"Yeong-ha" is a homonym for "subzero,"
yet you know nothing about the cold.
"Ha" means summer, that's why.
Come outside. I called a contractor.
What?
Is that really necessary?
Thanks for your help. Here's some tea.
Thanks.
You could've bought some antifreeze covers
at 2,000 won each to save money.
Now it'll cost you ten times as much.
Don't forget to use the covers next year.
Look, it's snowing again.
Seong-ran. Get your fill.
I heard you wanted to see the snow.
God, I'm so sick of the snow.
Live on these hills long enough,
and you'll understand.
You sure that'll cut it?
Shit.
Hey!
Don't shoot!
Is it nice,
living in Seoul with your daughter?
It's too stifling.
And it only makes me gain weight.
Anyway,
there's so much to fix in here.
You have plenty of time.
Take it slow. Fix one thing at a time.
-Like you did when you first came here.
-Take it slow? No way.
I hired a contractor.
Look who's all grown up.
CHIEF DETECTIVE
YOON BO-MIN
Thank you.
My first workplace was right around here.
I was driving through the area.
Thought I'd check out the lake,
and I ended up getting lost.
I see.
So you're a writer?
I had a picture I took at this motel too.
I lost it though.
JULY 2001, MY FIRST CASE
Is this it?
Yes.
Kim Gyeong-ok was in the same room
as Ji Hyang-cheol's mother,
and Park Jong-du was her son.
I know his supermarket from 20 years ago,
so it was quite easy to figure out.
There are times when no one wants
the truth to be revealed.
Ha Jae-sik, who shot Yoo Seong-a
at Mr. Jeon Yeong-ha's vacation rental,
stayed silent about where he got the gun.
JI HYANG-CHEOL
Since the murder weapon couldn't be found,
the Ji Hyang-cheol case went cold.
And Yoo Seong-a's father, who wanted
the whole thing to go away quietly
went as far as to defend
the man who killed his own daughter.
Dr. Yoo sent me.
I suppose Mr. Jeon,
who alone knows the whole truth,
is keeping it to himself
so he can protect someone.
I guess you haven't seen him since then.
Why are you covering this up?
I don't want to go after the poor frog
after losing the real culprit.
Besides, it's not my case.
You should smile more. You have
the same look as when you were a kid.
One iced Americano, one green grape soda,
and one sandwich.
-Got it.
-Jeong-won.
An Iced Americano and a green grape soda
Yeong-ha.
-Hey!
-That's not green tea.
-I'll have
-One more iced Americano.
And a green grape soda. Yes?
Would you mind taking a picture for us?
No, not at all!
Wow, this place is bustling.
I remember him closing
the laundromat immediately.
Some are just
bound to be successful, right?
He's like the boss of this town.
A future billionaire.
Maybe we'll ride on his coattails?
-Here you go.
-Thank you, sir.
I saw you two laughing.
Making fun of me, were you?
Are you coming tonight?
For our get-together? You bet.
One sec.
Try it. It's pretty good.
-Bon appétit.
-Thanks.
Riding on his coattails already.
Mr. Yong-chae!
Hey! My doctor nephew-in-law!
Hello.
Grandpa's here! It's Grandpa.
Hi, Grandpa!
-Take these first.
-Sure.
-Did you grab the corkscrew?
-Yes, I did.
I'D LIKE TO BOOK YOUR VACATION RENTAL
I'm sorry,
but we're no longer in business.
Hello?
I wanted to come see your place, Mister.
I think
we'll have a lot to talk about.
A giant tree fell in a forest
and no one was around to hear it.
Did it
make a sound
or was there nothing but silence?
