IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
-Wook…
-Mom…
Mom…
It's okay, Wook.
It's okay.
Wook, Mommy is here now.
Everything's going to be okay. It's okay.
Mom…
Detective Shin Jun-ho.
Come to Hongdae.
I'll call you in 30 minutes.
Hello?
Detective Shin Jun-ho.
I'm here. I brought the money too.
Where are you now?
I told you to come alone.
You're making things difficult for me.
Choi Yeo-na said it was urgent.
Where is Yeo-na now?
Gosh…
We can't do this here. I'll call you back.
Don't hang up! Where is Yeo-na now?
What happened?
He's gone.
-We got caught.
-Damn it.
Will he call you back?
Give this to the boss. I have to go.
Hey, where are you going?
Detective Shin!
What happened?
Over there…
Wook is being held hostage
by Manager Wang instead of me.
We checked the footage
of the nearby CCTV cameras,
and she was the only one
who got out of there.
They must still be inside.
We put out an APB on Manager Wang
and backup will arrive soon.
It's dangerous here,
so you should go home and wait.
Please get her home safely.
Put him down.
Pull him up.
Do you know how much trouble
you caused me?
Did you see me kidnapping that girl?
I'll send you to where she is.
You'll be fed to the fish just like her.
Call Captain Kang and tell him
to throw this guy in the ocean.
Idiot…
What an idiot.
You are so stupid.
How much are you getting paid to do this?
It's for the grandchild
of Choiseung Construction's chairwoman.
What the hell are you talking about?
The people you killed
could have been
Chairwoman Han's grandchildren.
Of course,
none of them was a match.
What does that have to do with me?
It has everything to do with you.
They haven't found
the real grandchild yet.
And
the police
have already figured out
that you killed them.
You have nowhere to hide.
You lunatic.
Nam-guk…
Go ask the person
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
If they get caught,
I'm sure
they're going to frame you for everything.
You idiot.
Cut the bullshit.
I just heard something very interesting.
I think I'm at the right place.
What the hell is happening to Ms. Lee?
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
Gosh, why isn't Wook picking up?
Quiet!
Freeze!
-Don't come any closer.
-Hey, Wook.
Wake up!
You're here.
Put that knife down.
If you do anything stupid,
it'll only make things worse for you.
That's not true.
I'll be better off if this guy is dead.
Wait.
Shut it.
-I wasn't talking to you.
-I said shut it.
Hey! Are you all right?
Wook, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Mr. Jang.
My goodness…
They beat you to a pulp. Gosh…
Goodness…
Are you okay?
He's not okay. Call 911.
Call an ambulance now!
Wook.
Hey.
Are you awake now?
Are you all right?
Yes…
This wouldn't have happened
if I hadn't gotten caught.
It's not your fault.
I'm the one
who put you in danger.
Stop talking and sleep some more.
Luckily, your bones are fine,
but your bruises will hurt for a while.
I didn't think you could take a licking,
but you surprised me.
I didn't work out for this.
I should go back to sleep.
Ms. Lee.
You should go and get some sleep too.
-Okay.
-Good.
I didn't see him yesterday either.
Did he leave?
Yes, he left.
What?
He left? What do you mean by that?
It's all right.
He left, but he'll be back.
Play with Jun-su here.
I need to go somewhere.
Okay.
Hey.
Have you seen Mr. Jang?
I had a drink with him
and Detective Park last night.
I haven't seen him since.
Does he have a bad hangover?
I haven't seen Wook around either.
I don't think I've seen him
since yesterday.
Did something really happen to him?
Sorry?
It's nothing.
Who is this bicycle for?
Jang-mi said she wanted to ride one.
You really do so much for the people here.
It's not a big deal.
I'm doing it because I want to.
Do you, by any chance…
know anything about Wook?
Like how he ended up here,
or what he used to do before he came here?
Things like that.
You were caught red-handed for abduction,
assault, and instigating murder.
There's no way out this time.
Where is Choi Yeo-na?
There's a witness who
saw you kidnapping her.
Me?
That's impossible.
You must have good connections.
Is it a conglomerate?
For example,
Choiseung Construction?
Hey,
I know everything.
Someone ordered you to kill
Jang Myeong-gyu and Kim Nam-guk.
-Right?
-Think carefully before you answer.
It looks like you're going
to take all the blame.
Go ask the person
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
I'm sure they're going
to frame you for everything.
-Can I make a phone call?
-Sure.
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What's wrong? They're not answering?
Can I call my lawyer?
Your lawyer?
All right, let's begin.
I'm going to start
with this quarter's sales.
Why did Manager Wang kidnap you?
According to Wook,
he took me as bait to lure Wook.
How's Kim Wook doing?
He's badly hurt.
The doctor says he needs to rest.
Did you check the number
Manager Wang called?
Yes, it was a burner.
-Where was the signal found?
-Near Choiseung Construction.
I'm sure there's a connection
to Choiseung.
What is it? Are you waiting for a call?
No, nothing.
By any chance, did you hear anything
about Choi Yeo-na from Kim Wook?
No.
Choi Yeo-na…
is dead.
Gosh.
You really should stay here
for a few more days.
The doctor said I'll get better
if I eat well and have a good rest.
I can do that at home.
Who are you going to bother at home?
Are you going home already?
I'll stay a few more days
if the police will pay my hospital bills.
I should take this bandage off
so my wounds can heal faster.
What did you mean when you said Yeo-na…
was dead?
I meant what I said.
Choi Yeo-na
is dead.
How do you know that?
Because I saw her.
Where?
Where I saw Ha-neul.
I saw Choi Yeo-na
there.
Are you kidding me?
Yes, this is Shin Jun-ho.
Detective Shin, do you remember me?
Where are you now?
Did you tell him Yeo-na was dead?
How are you going to deal with it?
Yeo-na…
is in the ocean.
How did you find that out?
Manager Wang told his men
to throw me into the ocean…
so that I'll join her.
Hello?
Are you sure you're alone today?
What I did yesterday was
a mistake. I'm sorry.
I have the money with me and I'm alone.
Where are you now?
Do you see the column next to you?
Number 35.
Place the money there.
I'll do whatever you ask,
so please tell me where Yeo-na is first.
Detective Shin. You're so impatient.
Do you see another column right
in front of you?
The third one down.
Column number 41.
You'll be able to find
the answers you're looking for there.
14-1, DUON-RI MOUNTAIN,
YIJEONG CITY, GYEONGGI PROVINCE
Sir!
The tracker isn't moving, but why is he…
-It's okay. No need to rush.
-But we need to catch him.
Calm down.
Good afternoon.
-Can I have a pack of cigarettes?
-Which one do you want, sir?
That one. The red one.
Gosh, you're rich. You have a lot of cash.
What?
What do you want?
Do you know how much people suffer
when a family member disappears?
How dare you exploit that fact
and rip them off?
-That's not--
-Am I right? Or wrong?
How did you know that?
Come here.
What are you doing?
This is how we found out.
You're under arrest for fraud
and obstruction of justice.
You have the right to an attorney
and to remain silent.
And you don't need to say anything
that could be used against you.
-You shameless bastard.
-Wait. What are you doing?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Okay, fine.
-What--
-Let's go down to the station first.
I'll go over everything
you did wrong, one by one.
What is this?
What do you mean?
That's where Choi Yeo-na is.
You crazy jerk. This area is restricted.
No one even lives there.
I once spent all night
searching the area too.
Are you going to keep lying to me?
I'm not lying!
You said you saw Choi Yeo-na.
My proposal
and our wedding.
Who told you about all that?
-Where is Choi Yeo-na, you bastard?!
-I swear, she's there at Duon Village!
I was locked up there.
But Choi Yeo-na let me go
and asked me to find you
to tell you that she's there.
Do you get it?
I'm not crazy, okay?
It's just that I can see
what you guys can't see.
I don't see anything here.
Ms. Choi.
Have you seen any other
living person here other than me?
Have you talked to someone who's alive?
If I'd met someone like that,
I wouldn't have let you go.
Keep your word.
Of course. Don't worry.
I wonder if he's met Jun-ho by now.
Yeo-na.
You weren't home,
so I thought you might be here.
What's wrong with your hand?
Did you get hurt?
What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for Jun-ho.
I let Hwang Du-cheol go.
I asked him to go see Jun-ho
and tell him that I'm here.
Thomas said he's a scammer.
That's why I'm sure he'll call Jun-ho.
Jun-ho will figure it out and come here.
He's already been here twice.
What's next?
What will you do once he comes?
I know I won't be able to do anything,
but still,
I want to see him.
What happened to your hand?
It's nothing.
It'll be all right soon.
What happened?
What happened?
How did you end up here?
I fell.
Jang-mi's house was owned by Cho Won-uk.
The bar manager said
he even bought her a car.
So she had a rich boyfriend.
Did you meet him?
Yes. He said they broke up
because she cheated on him.
That's when he sold the house
and the car too.
Caught for a DUI. License was revoked.
He's got no criminal record.
Sir.
They found some DNA
from the scrap paper lady's belongings.
Really? Did you compare it
to Kang Myeong-jin's DNA?
-Did they match?
-It'll be out in a couple of days.
-Tell them to hurry up.
-Yes, sir.
I have a good feeling about this.
The hairs on the back
of my neck are standing up.
I haven't felt like this in a while.
JANG HYEON-JI MISSING CHILD CASE
DISAPPEARED,
ONLY LEAVING HER KINDERGARTEN BACKPACK
Her backpack.
-I'll be back soon.
-Okay.
Hey, Mr. Jang.
What about her backpack?
It's been 15 years already.
Could anything still be there?
We found new DNA from
a victim's belongings this morning
that we couldn't find in 2006.
Did you find the culprit?
We're running the data now.
Hyeon-ji disappeared in 2005,
so we might be able to get something
we couldn't find then.
Will we be able to find
Hyeon-ji with this?
I really hope so,
but even if we can't,
I won't give up on Hyeon-ji.
Thank you,
Detective Baek.
Look who it is.
It's the phoenix that never dies!
It's good to see you too.
See?
We're on good terms.
I'll give you five minutes.
No more than that.
I'm supposed to live a long life.
So I survived, even though I fell off
a cliff and you beat me to a pulp.
All of your efforts were in vain.
Is that why you came to see me?
Because you want to die?
Of course not.
I'm here to give a statement,
among other things.
To see your face…
and say thank you.
Thanks to you,
I remembered something important.
I remembered what really happened
when I was young.
What the hell are you talking about?
You killed three innocent people.
You'd better tell me
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
But even if you don't tell me,
I'm going to find them.
Hello?
It's me, Han Yeo-hui.
Who gave you the name Wook?
My mom did.
She named me that
so I would brighten the world.
Is that so?
Why did you want to see me?
When
your daughter died,
I was there.
What do you mean?
You were at my house?
I followed my mom to work sometimes
and stayed in your attic.
I remember Aunt Su-yeon would play
with me from time to time.
I had no idea
that a child was in the house.
My mother must have kept it from you
because she felt bad
about bringing me there.
That day,
I was taking a nap.
I heard a loud thump,
so I went downstairs.
Aunt Su-yeon was on the ground.
There was blood all over the floor
and a man was standing over her.
I only saw his back.
I was so scared,
so I went back and hid in the attic.
A man?
Why are you telling me just now?
I remembered it only recently.
Does anyone come to mind?
Who on earth would…
I think the man who killed Aunt Su-yeon
also killed my mother.
Do you remember
who had free access to your place?
My driver,
the gardener who came once a month,
and the housekeeper.
They were the only ones.
The driver was with me that day,
and the gardener wasn't scheduled to come.
I also confirmed that the gardener
had been working elsewhere that day.
The man I saw…
was in a black suit.
Don't try to pull any tricks.
What's wrong? Did you choke on your food?
Hey!
Hey, wake up!
Wake up!
Guys, come here! Now!
Hey! Wake up!
Hurry! Call for an ambulance now!
I'll get going.
I'll walk you to your car.
Why bother when it's scorching hot today?
I know you want to say goodbye
to Hyeon-ji's backpack, not me.
I'll take it to Forensics myself,
so don't worry and stay home, okay?
Okay, then.
Thanks, Detective Baek.
Hey, doggy.
Stand back! Don't come near me!
-Stay away from me!
-Mr. Jang!
-Come over here. Do something.
-Is he new?
Who are you?
Calm down and hear us out.
-Hear what out?
-Okay, calm down.
We're not weird people. We live here.
You live here?
This whole village is weird!
That's why you're weird too.
Damn it. Why am I even here?
What on earth did you do to me?
What did you do?
My goodness. I should go get Thomas.
He'll be in the storage room.
Hey, we need you.
What's going on?
A new person came and he's out of control.
Thomas?
Who is Thomas? Is he a mercenary?
Is this place some kind of
mafia village, or what?
I said I'd pay him
once I sold the restaurant.
Mr. Kim, how could you do this?
-You must be very shocked.
-Of course I am!
Are you Thomas?
Yes, that's me.
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
Let's talk over some tea in a quiet room.
I love oolong tea.
This way, please.
This way?
What is your name, sir?
Sir?
Just call me Mr. Hong.
By the way, the way you talk is hot.
Very classic and sophisticated.
Is it? Someone said it's old and tacky.
That's not true.
Being unique is the trend these days.
Anyway, how did you end up here?
Did you use a loan shark like me?
No, not really.
You can't be sent here by force.
What do you mean?
I was forced here without knowing…
I mean, I got kidnapped.
It's all right.
It's not all right.
What a strange world.
I'm more surprised by Thomas.
That man made a ruckus when he saw us,
but he became a docile sheep
once he saw Thomas.
Thomas is calm and polite.
I'm sure that made him relax.
I can't imagine
this village without Thomas.
I know.
Jun-ho, don't be nervous.
You can do it.
I finally get to go home now.
Where should I put this?
I already got all the pieces.
Why are you here? You didn't even call.
I don't care where or how you grew up.
I don't care about your past.
I don't need anything else.
I only need you to come to me.
KIM WOOK
Hello?
Let's meet.
JANG HYEON-JI MISSING FOR 5 DAYS…
HER WHEREABOUTS STILL UNKNOWN
Kang Dae-seong, are you stalking me?
How can you say that?
I decided to work here as a part-timer
and your bodyguard.
Did you give up on making your debut?
That's not important!
You miraculously survived
after being kidnapped!
You might get miraculously fired
as a trainee.
Don't be so mean, Jong-a.
That's Ms. Lee to you.
All right, Ms. Lee.
Hi. Come on in. This way, please.
Why are there so many missing people?
This girl looks familiar.
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
It's the girl in the video!
She's not a client, but a missing person?
Who is she anyway?
Someone I know.
But how can a missing person
be his client?
Ha-neul went missing.
Choi Yeo-na went missing.
Wook's mother as well.
What the hell?
Jong-a! Ms. Lee, where are you going?
-Go home when you're done!
-Gosh, I need to take her home!
Did you catch Hwang Du-cheol?
Do you know him?
How are you related to him?
I don't know him well.
I just know
that he's a scammer.
So how do you know that he's a scammer?
Why are you involved with
everything and everyone?
You told me you saw Ha-neul here,
and this time, Hwang Du-cheol
said he saw Yeo-na here too!
How does that make sense?
You're right.
It doesn't make sense.
When I saw Ha-neul here,
it was after he was dead.
So the fact that I saw
Choi Yeo-na here means--
This is bullshit!
Who are you saying is dead?
Why do you keep saying she's dead?
Who are you to say that Yeo-na is dead?
Yeo-na is dead.
I saw her.
Who's fighting with whom?
Wook and…
Wook and Jun-ho are fighting.
Jun-ho?
The cop?
Yes, the cop.
Where?
It's Ms. Secret.
-What?
-Mr. Jang!
Hey, Ms. Lee. You're here.
You didn't even call. Why are you here?
Mr. Jang, who were you talking to?
Me?
I wasn't talking to anybody.
There's something about this place.
I noticed something with Wook last time.
And today, with you.
What do you mean? There's nothing here!
Just grass, trees, and wild animals.
That's not it. You just said something
about Jun-ho the cop.
-Who were you talking to?
-What?
Someone else must be here
other than us, right?
Who is it?
-What is it? Is it a boar?
-Boars appear from time to time.
Who is it?
The dead live here.
And I can see them.
You can see ghosts?
I know this might sound crazy,
but they are not just ghosts.
Then what are they?
People who are dead,
but whose bodies haven't yet been found.
I can see them.
Yeo-na is here too.
You definitely are insane.
Do you know who else I saw here?
My mom.
I thought my mom
abandoned me and ran away 27 years ago,
but I met her here.
I can see people like them.
So
do you expect me to believe
your absurd theory?
Jun-ho?
You're really here.
Jun-ho, I'm here.
So…
are you seriously telling me
to believe that Yeo-na is dead, you punk?
Wook…
What about me?
Jun-ho, can't you see me?
It's no use.
He just talked to you.
He even grabbed your shirt.
I saw everything myself!
But why can't he see me?
Jun-ho!
Jun-ho…
He can't see you.
You crazy jerk.
You really are crazy.
Don't you dare
bring up Yeo-na's name again.
Jun-ho!
Let me go! Jun-ho!
Come back.
-Jun-ho!
-Come here! He can't hear you!
Let go!
Detective Shin.
-What's with him?
-Why did he ignore us?
Wook!
What is going on?
What is he doing there all by himself?
You see him, right?
-Wook!
-He'll be home soon.
-Let's wait for him at my place, okay?
-Wook!
Jun-su. I told you to play in the garden.
I'm it. I couldn't see Beom-su,
so I went to look for him.
Beom-su is here.
Beom-su, where did you go?
I looked for you everywhere.
I can't tell you because
Ms. Secret is here. I'll be it now.
Auntie, Wook is back.
Don't go anywhere else and stay here!
Tell me why Jun-ho can see you but not me.
Well, I'm…
Are you
also alive?
Yes.
Then why can you see me?
Jun-ho can't see me.
But why can you see me?
I'm not sure why
I can see the villagers here either.
Why…
Why did you not tell me?
You saw everything I did
to get out of this place.
Why didn't you say anything?
If you had told me from the beginning,
I wouldn't have asked
a jerk like Hwang Du-cheol for a favor!
Why didn't you tell me?
He's alive…
I guess I was wrong about you.
Yeo-na!
Yeo-na!
He's alive.
Wook is…
alive!
He's alive.
He's alive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Can we please talk for a second?
You need to give me a chance to explain!
Yeo-na!
This place is a village
for those pitiful people who have died
but whose bodies haven't yet been found.
Then who were you talking to earlier?
Beom-su.
He's really big,
but he's a child at heart.
He's a good kid.
Then was Wook with someone else too?
Choi Yeo-na. He was with Yeo-na.
Holy cow…
Wait, do you actually believe it?
Aren't you scared?
You can't even see anything.
Of course I believe it!
The world is full of mysteries.
Stephen Hawking's multiverse theory.
I believe that another me
exists somewhere else.
Damn, if Stephen Hawking were alive,
time traveling would've been possible.
Hawking, what?
I thought there was
a parallel universe at first.
Choi Yeo-na, Wook's mother, and Jang-mi.
I thought it strange that
the clients were missing people.
But now I finally get it.
So we're looking for the bodies
of dead people who went missing?
This is thrilling!
Mr. Jang, how many are there
in the village?
Well…
It depends, but usually,
there are always dozens of people here.
Give me a list of their names.
-What are you going to do?
-Find them!
I'm going to find all of them.
Wook and I are pretty eccentric,
but you're weird too, Ms. Lee.
Wook.
-Honey!
-Hey.
Honey!
My son is alive!
Of course he is.
I'm sure he's doing well.
Did you think about your son again?
That's not it.
He's alive.
I mean, Wook!
My son Wook is alive!
You mean the one
who goes around with Mr. Jang?
Is he
your son?
Even though I'm his mother,
I didn't recognize him right away.
While I was tied up in the past,
he grew up so well.
He is such a thoughtful man.
Even though he knew I was his mother,
he kept it to himself.
Thank goodness.
I'm so happy for you.
So your mother is here too.
What about Mr. Jang's daughter?
Is Hyeon-ji here?
No.
She's not here.
Does that mean she's alive?
Nobody knows.
How cruel.
I'm sure there's a reason why
Mr. Jang sees dead people.
He spent ten years looking
for other people's bodies,
yet he couldn't meet his daughter.
Be nice to him. Don't complain.
All right.
You be nice to me too.
Gosh.
Let's go.
Okay.
Mr. Jang.
I'm disappointed.
If you had tipped me off…
Then what?
We should stay out of it.
It's something they need to figure out.
He's right.
They'll be shocked and sad,
and then it'll all go away.
It's for them to deal with.
You sound as if you're enlightened.
I disagree.
We're not strangers.
We must share information
and sort things out together.
That's what neighbors and family are for.
Speaking of neighbors,
it's about Jang-mi.
I've secured all the evidence,
but I haven't given it to the police yet.
Why not?
Jang-mi says she likes it here.
She doesn't want to part
with the villagers.
That may be the case right now,
but everyone here
will eventually leave too.
Being left behind is also painful.
He's right.
And the bad guy must be punished too.
He should face the consequences
of murdering someone.
Bastards like that will do
the same thing again.
You have a point.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
The order is all messed up!
Do I need to teach you guys a lesson?
Hello.
-Hey, Mr. Jang.
-Detective Baek.
-I got you something refreshing to drink.
-You didn't have to.
-Hey, Detective Lee.
-Yes, sir.
Take it. Hyeon-ji's dad bought it for us.
Thank you.
-What brings you here?
-I just dropped by.
I also wanted to ask
about Hyeon-ji's backpack.
The people at the NFS
are so fed up with me.
Since I gave them the backpack,
I've been calling them
every morning and night.
Oh, right. Here.
What's this?
Some man handed it to me as I came in.
He asked me to give it to your team.
A man? What did he look like?
Like a deliveryman.
He was wearing a motorcycle helmet.
Does it have a name on it? Oh, it doesn't.
There's no name. Let's see what it is.
Hey, let's see what's on this.
Yes, sir.
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-Sir!
Boss, you need to see this.
What is it?
Isn't this that jerk?
We got you, bastard!
Mr. Jang, did you notice anything
about the man who gave this to you?
Did you see his plate number or his face?
He was wearing a helmet,
so I couldn't see his face
or the plate number.
Why? What is that? Is there a problem?
Maybe I shouldn't have given it to you.
Did Jang-mi's friend send this?
You did nothing wrong,
so don't worry and go home.
-I'll call you.
-Okay. You seem busy, so I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Bye.
MISSING: JANG-MI
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
Captain Kang.
There you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
Who are you?
I've heard a lot about you
from Manager Wang.
Manager Wang?
Who is that?
I'll send you to where she is.
Call Captain Kang and tell him
to throw this guy in the ocean.
Come on.
Everyone around here knows
Manager Wang of Ilgong Cold Storage.
I'm here because he sent me.
I'm disappointed that you're playing dumb.
Like I said,
I don't know anyone like that.
Okay, fine.
I may not know as many people as him,
but I'm more generous.
I'll pay you extra.
What?
I heard you know this seafront
like the back of your hand.
You know how to navigate these waters
with your eyes closed.
That's a bit much.
Let me borrow your skills for a day.
May 7th, 1990.
A new life is growing inside me.
How incredible and amazing.
Sunshine.
Thank you for coming to us
like a warm ray of sunshine.
June 25th, 1990.
I went to the hospital with my boyfriend.
I saw Sunshine on the ultrasound
and they're the most
beautiful baby in the world.
I hope Sunshine looks like their father.
Ma'am, you have a guest.
Let them in.
April 10th, 1991.
Sunshine.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't protect you.
Welcome.
Who are these people?
The people closest to Chairwoman Han.
Director Han, you made
Director Yoo resign, didn't you?
If I give up,
no one else will look for you.
I'm right here.
One day, your crimes will catch up to you.
It's one that has lasted for 27 years.
What are you doing over there?
So it's one of those two?
Why are you dredging up
such a dangerous case?
I thought it'd be buried for good,
but the time has come.
I'm going to find you no matter what.
The key to this plan is me. I'm the bait.

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
-Wook…
-Mom…
Mom…
It's okay, Wook.
It's okay.
Wook, Mommy is here now.
Everything's going to be okay. It's okay.
Mom…
Detective Shin Jun-ho.
Come to Hongdae.
I'll call you in 30 minutes.
Hello?
Detective Shin Jun-ho.
I'm here. I brought the money too.
Where are you now?
I told you to come alone.
You're making things difficult for me.
Choi Yeo-na said it was urgent.
Where is Yeo-na now?
Gosh…
We can't do this here. I'll call you back.
Don't hang up! Where is Yeo-na now?
What happened?
He's gone.
-We got caught.
-Damn it.
Will he call you back?
Give this to the boss. I have to go.
Hey, where are you going?
Detective Shin!
What happened?
Over there…
Wook is being held hostage
by Manager Wang instead of me.
We checked the footage
of the nearby CCTV cameras,
and she was the only one
who got out of there.
They must still be inside.
We put out an APB on Manager Wang
and backup will arrive soon.
It's dangerous here,
so you should go home and wait.
Please get her home safely.
Put him down.
Pull him up.
Do you know how much trouble
you caused me?
Did you see me kidnapping that girl?
I'll send you to where she is.
You'll be fed to the fish just like her.
Call Captain Kang and tell him
to throw this guy in the ocean.
Idiot…
What an idiot.
You are so stupid.
How much are you getting paid to do this?
It's for the grandchild
of Choiseung Construction's chairwoman.
What the hell are you talking about?
The people you killed
could have been
Chairwoman Han's grandchildren.
Of course,
none of them was a match.
What does that have to do with me?
It has everything to do with you.
They haven't found
the real grandchild yet.
And
the police
have already figured out
that you killed them.
You have nowhere to hide.
You lunatic.
Nam-guk…
Go ask the person
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
If they get caught,
I'm sure
they're going to frame you for everything.
You idiot.
Cut the bullshit.
I just heard something very interesting.
I think I'm at the right place.
What the hell is happening to Ms. Lee?
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment…
Gosh, why isn't Wook picking up?
Quiet!
Freeze!
-Don't come any closer.
-Hey, Wook.
Wake up!
You're here.
Put that knife down.
If you do anything stupid,
it'll only make things worse for you.
That's not true.
I'll be better off if this guy is dead.
Wait.
Shut it.
-I wasn't talking to you.
-I said shut it.
Hey! Are you all right?
Wook, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Mr. Jang.
My goodness…
They beat you to a pulp. Gosh…
Goodness…
Are you okay?
He's not okay. Call 911.
Call an ambulance now!
Wook.
Hey.
Are you awake now?
Are you all right?
Yes…
This wouldn't have happened
if I hadn't gotten caught.
It's not your fault.
I'm the one
who put you in danger.
Stop talking and sleep some more.
Luckily, your bones are fine,
but your bruises will hurt for a while.
I didn't think you could take a licking,
but you surprised me.
I didn't work out for this.
I should go back to sleep.
Ms. Lee.
You should go and get some sleep too.
-Okay.
-Good.
I didn't see him yesterday either.
Did he leave?
Yes, he left.
What?
He left? What do you mean by that?
It's all right.
He left, but he'll be back.
Play with Jun-su here.
I need to go somewhere.
Okay.
Hey.
Have you seen Mr. Jang?
I had a drink with him
and Detective Park last night.
I haven't seen him since.
Does he have a bad hangover?
I haven't seen Wook around either.
I don't think I've seen him
since yesterday.
Did something really happen to him?
Sorry?
It's nothing.
Who is this bicycle for?
Jang-mi said she wanted to ride one.
You really do so much for the people here.
It's not a big deal.
I'm doing it because I want to.
Do you, by any chance…
know anything about Wook?
Like how he ended up here,
or what he used to do before he came here?
Things like that.
You were caught red-handed for abduction,
assault, and instigating murder.
There's no way out this time.
Where is Choi Yeo-na?
There's a witness who
saw you kidnapping her.
Me?
That's impossible.
You must have good connections.
Is it a conglomerate?
For example,
Choiseung Construction?
Hey,
I know everything.
Someone ordered you to kill
Jang Myeong-gyu and Kim Nam-guk.
-Right?
-Think carefully before you answer.
It looks like you're going
to take all the blame.
Go ask the person
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
I'm sure they're going
to frame you for everything.
-Can I make a phone call?
-Sure.
The person you are calling
is not available at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What's wrong? They're not answering?
Can I call my lawyer?
Your lawyer?
All right, let's begin.
I'm going to start
with this quarter's sales.
Why did Manager Wang kidnap you?
According to Wook,
he took me as bait to lure Wook.
How's Kim Wook doing?
He's badly hurt.
The doctor says he needs to rest.
Did you check the number
Manager Wang called?
Yes, it was a burner.
-Where was the signal found?
-Near Choiseung Construction.
I'm sure there's a connection
to Choiseung.
What is it? Are you waiting for a call?
No, nothing.
By any chance, did you hear anything
about Choi Yeo-na from Kim Wook?
No.
Choi Yeo-na…
is dead.
Gosh.
You really should stay here
for a few more days.
The doctor said I'll get better
if I eat well and have a good rest.
I can do that at home.
Who are you going to bother at home?
Are you going home already?
I'll stay a few more days
if the police will pay my hospital bills.
I should take this bandage off
so my wounds can heal faster.
What did you mean when you said Yeo-na…
was dead?
I meant what I said.
Choi Yeo-na
is dead.
How do you know that?
Because I saw her.
Where?
Where I saw Ha-neul.
I saw Choi Yeo-na
there.
Are you kidding me?
Yes, this is Shin Jun-ho.
Detective Shin, do you remember me?
Where are you now?
Did you tell him Yeo-na was dead?
How are you going to deal with it?
Yeo-na…
is in the ocean.
How did you find that out?
Manager Wang told his men
to throw me into the ocean…
so that I'll join her.
Hello?
Are you sure you're alone today?
What I did yesterday was
a mistake. I'm sorry.
I have the money with me and I'm alone.
Where are you now?
Do you see the column next to you?
Number 35.
Place the money there.
I'll do whatever you ask,
so please tell me where Yeo-na is first.
Detective Shin. You're so impatient.
Do you see another column right
in front of you?
The third one down.
Column number 41.
You'll be able to find
the answers you're looking for there.
14-1, DUON-RI MOUNTAIN,
YIJEONG CITY, GYEONGGI PROVINCE
Sir!
The tracker isn't moving, but why is he…
-It's okay. No need to rush.
-But we need to catch him.
Calm down.
Good afternoon.
-Can I have a pack of cigarettes?
-Which one do you want, sir?
That one. The red one.
Gosh, you're rich. You have a lot of cash.
What?
What do you want?
Do you know how much people suffer
when a family member disappears?
How dare you exploit that fact
and rip them off?
-That's not--
-Am I right? Or wrong?
How did you know that?
Come here.
What are you doing?
This is how we found out.
You're under arrest for fraud
and obstruction of justice.
You have the right to an attorney
and to remain silent.
And you don't need to say anything
that could be used against you.
-You shameless bastard.
-Wait. What are you doing?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Okay, fine.
-What--
-Let's go down to the station first.
I'll go over everything
you did wrong, one by one.
What is this?
What do you mean?
That's where Choi Yeo-na is.
You crazy jerk. This area is restricted.
No one even lives there.
I once spent all night
searching the area too.
Are you going to keep lying to me?
I'm not lying!
You said you saw Choi Yeo-na.
My proposal
and our wedding.
Who told you about all that?
-Where is Choi Yeo-na, you bastard?!
-I swear, she's there at Duon Village!
I was locked up there.
But Choi Yeo-na let me go
and asked me to find you
to tell you that she's there.
Do you get it?
I'm not crazy, okay?
It's just that I can see
what you guys can't see.
I don't see anything here.
Ms. Choi.
Have you seen any other
living person here other than me?
Have you talked to someone who's alive?
If I'd met someone like that,
I wouldn't have let you go.
Keep your word.
Of course. Don't worry.
I wonder if he's met Jun-ho by now.
Yeo-na.
You weren't home,
so I thought you might be here.
What's wrong with your hand?
Did you get hurt?
What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for Jun-ho.
I let Hwang Du-cheol go.
I asked him to go see Jun-ho
and tell him that I'm here.
Thomas said he's a scammer.
That's why I'm sure he'll call Jun-ho.
Jun-ho will figure it out and come here.
He's already been here twice.
What's next?
What will you do once he comes?
I know I won't be able to do anything,
but still,
I want to see him.
What happened to your hand?
It's nothing.
It'll be all right soon.
What happened?
What happened?
How did you end up here?
I fell.
Jang-mi's house was owned by Cho Won-uk.
The bar manager said
he even bought her a car.
So she had a rich boyfriend.
Did you meet him?
Yes. He said they broke up
because she cheated on him.
That's when he sold the house
and the car too.
Caught for a DUI. License was revoked.
He's got no criminal record.
Sir.
They found some DNA
from the scrap paper lady's belongings.
Really? Did you compare it
to Kang Myeong-jin's DNA?
-Did they match?
-It'll be out in a couple of days.
-Tell them to hurry up.
-Yes, sir.
I have a good feeling about this.
The hairs on the back
of my neck are standing up.
I haven't felt like this in a while.
JANG HYEON-JI MISSING CHILD CASE
DISAPPEARED,
ONLY LEAVING HER KINDERGARTEN BACKPACK
Her backpack.
-I'll be back soon.
-Okay.
Hey, Mr. Jang.
What about her backpack?
It's been 15 years already.
Could anything still be there?
We found new DNA from
a victim's belongings this morning
that we couldn't find in 2006.
Did you find the culprit?
We're running the data now.
Hyeon-ji disappeared in 2005,
so we might be able to get something
we couldn't find then.
Will we be able to find
Hyeon-ji with this?
I really hope so,
but even if we can't,
I won't give up on Hyeon-ji.
Thank you,
Detective Baek.
Look who it is.
It's the phoenix that never dies!
It's good to see you too.
See?
We're on good terms.
I'll give you five minutes.
No more than that.
I'm supposed to live a long life.
So I survived, even though I fell off
a cliff and you beat me to a pulp.
All of your efforts were in vain.
Is that why you came to see me?
Because you want to die?
Of course not.
I'm here to give a statement,
among other things.
To see your face…
and say thank you.
Thanks to you,
I remembered something important.
I remembered what really happened
when I was young.
What the hell are you talking about?
You killed three innocent people.
You'd better tell me
who ordered you to kill Nam-guk.
But even if you don't tell me,
I'm going to find them.
Hello?
It's me, Han Yeo-hui.
Who gave you the name Wook?
My mom did.
She named me that
so I would brighten the world.
Is that so?
Why did you want to see me?
When
your daughter died,
I was there.
What do you mean?
You were at my house?
I followed my mom to work sometimes
and stayed in your attic.
I remember Aunt Su-yeon would play
with me from time to time.
I had no idea
that a child was in the house.
My mother must have kept it from you
because she felt bad
about bringing me there.
That day,
I was taking a nap.
I heard a loud thump,
so I went downstairs.
Aunt Su-yeon was on the ground.
There was blood all over the floor
and a man was standing over her.
I only saw his back.
I was so scared,
so I went back and hid in the attic.
A man?
Why are you telling me just now?
I remembered it only recently.
Does anyone come to mind?
Who on earth would…
I think the man who killed Aunt Su-yeon
also killed my mother.
Do you remember
who had free access to your place?
My driver,
the gardener who came once a month,
and the housekeeper.
They were the only ones.
The driver was with me that day,
and the gardener wasn't scheduled to come.
I also confirmed that the gardener
had been working elsewhere that day.
The man I saw…
was in a black suit.
Don't try to pull any tricks.
What's wrong? Did you choke on your food?
Hey!
Hey, wake up!
Wake up!
Guys, come here! Now!
Hey! Wake up!
Hurry! Call for an ambulance now!
I'll get going.
I'll walk you to your car.
Why bother when it's scorching hot today?
I know you want to say goodbye
to Hyeon-ji's backpack, not me.
I'll take it to Forensics myself,
so don't worry and stay home, okay?
Okay, then.
Thanks, Detective Baek.
Hey, doggy.
Stand back! Don't come near me!
-Stay away from me!
-Mr. Jang!
-Come over here. Do something.
-Is he new?
Who are you?
Calm down and hear us out.
-Hear what out?
-Okay, calm down.
We're not weird people. We live here.
You live here?
This whole village is weird!
That's why you're weird too.
Damn it. Why am I even here?
What on earth did you do to me?
What did you do?
My goodness. I should go get Thomas.
He'll be in the storage room.
Hey, we need you.
What's going on?
A new person came and he's out of control.
Thomas?
Who is Thomas? Is he a mercenary?
Is this place some kind of
mafia village, or what?
I said I'd pay him
once I sold the restaurant.
Mr. Kim, how could you do this?
-You must be very shocked.
-Of course I am!
Are you Thomas?
Yes, that's me.
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
Let's talk over some tea in a quiet room.
I love oolong tea.
This way, please.
This way?
What is your name, sir?
Sir?
Just call me Mr. Hong.
By the way, the way you talk is hot.
Very classic and sophisticated.
Is it? Someone said it's old and tacky.
That's not true.
Being unique is the trend these days.
Anyway, how did you end up here?
Did you use a loan shark like me?
No, not really.
You can't be sent here by force.
What do you mean?
I was forced here without knowing…
I mean, I got kidnapped.
It's all right.
It's not all right.
What a strange world.
I'm more surprised by Thomas.
That man made a ruckus when he saw us,
but he became a docile sheep
once he saw Thomas.
Thomas is calm and polite.
I'm sure that made him relax.
I can't imagine
this village without Thomas.
I know.
Jun-ho, don't be nervous.
You can do it.
I finally get to go home now.
Where should I put this?
I already got all the pieces.
Why are you here? You didn't even call.
I don't care where or how you grew up.
I don't care about your past.
I don't need anything else.
I only need you to come to me.
KIM WOOK
Hello?
Let's meet.
JANG HYEON-JI MISSING FOR 5 DAYS…
HER WHEREABOUTS STILL UNKNOWN
Kang Dae-seong, are you stalking me?
How can you say that?
I decided to work here as a part-timer
and your bodyguard.
Did you give up on making your debut?
That's not important!
You miraculously survived
after being kidnapped!
You might get miraculously fired
as a trainee.
Don't be so mean, Jong-a.
That's Ms. Lee to you.
All right, Ms. Lee.
Hi. Come on in. This way, please.
Why are there so many missing people?
This girl looks familiar.
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-You want to die? Shut up.
It's the girl in the video!
She's not a client, but a missing person?
Who is she anyway?
Someone I know.
But how can a missing person
be his client?
Ha-neul went missing.
Choi Yeo-na went missing.
Wook's mother as well.
What the hell?
Jong-a! Ms. Lee, where are you going?
-Go home when you're done!
-Gosh, I need to take her home!
Did you catch Hwang Du-cheol?
Do you know him?
How are you related to him?
I don't know him well.
I just know
that he's a scammer.
So how do you know that he's a scammer?
Why are you involved with
everything and everyone?
You told me you saw Ha-neul here,
and this time, Hwang Du-cheol
said he saw Yeo-na here too!
How does that make sense?
You're right.
It doesn't make sense.
When I saw Ha-neul here,
it was after he was dead.
So the fact that I saw
Choi Yeo-na here means--
This is bullshit!
Who are you saying is dead?
Why do you keep saying she's dead?
Who are you to say that Yeo-na is dead?
Yeo-na is dead.
I saw her.
Who's fighting with whom?
Wook and…
Wook and Jun-ho are fighting.
Jun-ho?
The cop?
Yes, the cop.
Where?
It's Ms. Secret.
-What?
-Mr. Jang!
Hey, Ms. Lee. You're here.
You didn't even call. Why are you here?
Mr. Jang, who were you talking to?
Me?
I wasn't talking to anybody.
There's something about this place.
I noticed something with Wook last time.
And today, with you.
What do you mean? There's nothing here!
Just grass, trees, and wild animals.
That's not it. You just said something
about Jun-ho the cop.
-Who were you talking to?
-What?
Someone else must be here
other than us, right?
Who is it?
-What is it? Is it a boar?
-Boars appear from time to time.
Who is it?
The dead live here.
And I can see them.
You can see ghosts?
I know this might sound crazy,
but they are not just ghosts.
Then what are they?
People who are dead,
but whose bodies haven't yet been found.
I can see them.
Yeo-na is here too.
You definitely are insane.
Do you know who else I saw here?
My mom.
I thought my mom
abandoned me and ran away 27 years ago,
but I met her here.
I can see people like them.
So
do you expect me to believe
your absurd theory?
Jun-ho?
You're really here.
Jun-ho, I'm here.
So…
are you seriously telling me
to believe that Yeo-na is dead, you punk?
Wook…
What about me?
Jun-ho, can't you see me?
It's no use.
He just talked to you.
He even grabbed your shirt.
I saw everything myself!
But why can't he see me?
Jun-ho!
Jun-ho…
He can't see you.
You crazy jerk.
You really are crazy.
Don't you dare
bring up Yeo-na's name again.
Jun-ho!
Let me go! Jun-ho!
Come back.
-Jun-ho!
-Come here! He can't hear you!
Let go!
Detective Shin.
-What's with him?
-Why did he ignore us?
Wook!
What is going on?
What is he doing there all by himself?
You see him, right?
-Wook!
-He'll be home soon.
-Let's wait for him at my place, okay?
-Wook!
Jun-su. I told you to play in the garden.
I'm it. I couldn't see Beom-su,
so I went to look for him.
Beom-su is here.
Beom-su, where did you go?
I looked for you everywhere.
I can't tell you because
Ms. Secret is here. I'll be it now.
Auntie, Wook is back.
Don't go anywhere else and stay here!
Tell me why Jun-ho can see you but not me.
Well, I'm…
Are you
also alive?
Yes.
Then why can you see me?
Jun-ho can't see me.
But why can you see me?
I'm not sure why
I can see the villagers here either.
Why…
Why did you not tell me?
You saw everything I did
to get out of this place.
Why didn't you say anything?
If you had told me from the beginning,
I wouldn't have asked
a jerk like Hwang Du-cheol for a favor!
Why didn't you tell me?
He's alive…
I guess I was wrong about you.
Yeo-na!
Yeo-na!
He's alive.
Wook is…
alive!
He's alive.
He's alive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Can we please talk for a second?
You need to give me a chance to explain!
Yeo-na!
This place is a village
for those pitiful people who have died
but whose bodies haven't yet been found.
Then who were you talking to earlier?
Beom-su.
He's really big,
but he's a child at heart.
He's a good kid.
Then was Wook with someone else too?
Choi Yeo-na. He was with Yeo-na.
Holy cow…
Wait, do you actually believe it?
Aren't you scared?
You can't even see anything.
Of course I believe it!
The world is full of mysteries.
Stephen Hawking's multiverse theory.
I believe that another me
exists somewhere else.
Damn, if Stephen Hawking were alive,
time traveling would've been possible.
Hawking, what?
I thought there was
a parallel universe at first.
Choi Yeo-na, Wook's mother, and Jang-mi.
I thought it strange that
the clients were missing people.
But now I finally get it.
So we're looking for the bodies
of dead people who went missing?
This is thrilling!
Mr. Jang, how many are there
in the village?
Well…
It depends, but usually,
there are always dozens of people here.
Give me a list of their names.
-What are you going to do?
-Find them!
I'm going to find all of them.
Wook and I are pretty eccentric,
but you're weird too, Ms. Lee.
Wook.
-Honey!
-Hey.
Honey!
My son is alive!
Of course he is.
I'm sure he's doing well.
Did you think about your son again?
That's not it.
He's alive.
I mean, Wook!
My son Wook is alive!
You mean the one
who goes around with Mr. Jang?
Is he
your son?
Even though I'm his mother,
I didn't recognize him right away.
While I was tied up in the past,
he grew up so well.
He is such a thoughtful man.
Even though he knew I was his mother,
he kept it to himself.
Thank goodness.
I'm so happy for you.
So your mother is here too.
What about Mr. Jang's daughter?
Is Hyeon-ji here?
No.
She's not here.
Does that mean she's alive?
Nobody knows.
How cruel.
I'm sure there's a reason why
Mr. Jang sees dead people.
He spent ten years looking
for other people's bodies,
yet he couldn't meet his daughter.
Be nice to him. Don't complain.
All right.
You be nice to me too.
Gosh.
Let's go.
Okay.
Mr. Jang.
I'm disappointed.
If you had tipped me off…
Then what?
We should stay out of it.
It's something they need to figure out.
He's right.
They'll be shocked and sad,
and then it'll all go away.
It's for them to deal with.
You sound as if you're enlightened.
I disagree.
We're not strangers.
We must share information
and sort things out together.
That's what neighbors and family are for.
Speaking of neighbors,
it's about Jang-mi.
I've secured all the evidence,
but I haven't given it to the police yet.
Why not?
Jang-mi says she likes it here.
She doesn't want to part
with the villagers.
That may be the case right now,
but everyone here
will eventually leave too.
Being left behind is also painful.
He's right.
And the bad guy must be punished too.
He should face the consequences
of murdering someone.
Bastards like that will do
the same thing again.
You have a point.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
The order is all messed up!
Do I need to teach you guys a lesson?
Hello.
-Hey, Mr. Jang.
-Detective Baek.
-I got you something refreshing to drink.
-You didn't have to.
-Hey, Detective Lee.
-Yes, sir.
Take it. Hyeon-ji's dad bought it for us.
Thank you.
-What brings you here?
-I just dropped by.
I also wanted to ask
about Hyeon-ji's backpack.
The people at the NFS
are so fed up with me.
Since I gave them the backpack,
I've been calling them
every morning and night.
Oh, right. Here.
What's this?
Some man handed it to me as I came in.
He asked me to give it to your team.
A man? What did he look like?
Like a deliveryman.
He was wearing a motorcycle helmet.
Does it have a name on it? Oh, it doesn't.
There's no name. Let's see what it is.
Hey, let's see what's on this.
Yes, sir.
I didn't do anything!
-I said I didn't do anything!
-Sir!
Boss, you need to see this.
What is it?
Isn't this that jerk?
We got you, bastard!
Mr. Jang, did you notice anything
about the man who gave this to you?
Did you see his plate number or his face?
He was wearing a helmet,
so I couldn't see his face
or the plate number.
Why? What is that? Is there a problem?
Maybe I shouldn't have given it to you.
Did Jang-mi's friend send this?
You did nothing wrong,
so don't worry and go home.
-I'll call you.
-Okay. You seem busy, so I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Bye.
MISSING: JANG-MI
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
Captain Kang.
There you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
Who are you?
I've heard a lot about you
from Manager Wang.
Manager Wang?
Who is that?
I'll send you to where she is.
Call Captain Kang and tell him
to throw this guy in the ocean.
Come on.
Everyone around here knows
Manager Wang of Ilgong Cold Storage.
I'm here because he sent me.
I'm disappointed that you're playing dumb.
Like I said,
I don't know anyone like that.
Okay, fine.
I may not know as many people as him,
but I'm more generous.
I'll pay you extra.
What?
I heard you know this seafront
like the back of your hand.
You know how to navigate these waters
with your eyes closed.
That's a bit much.
Let me borrow your skills for a day.
May 7th, 1990.
A new life is growing inside me.
How incredible and amazing.
Sunshine.
Thank you for coming to us
like a warm ray of sunshine.
June 25th, 1990.
I went to the hospital with my boyfriend.
I saw Sunshine on the ultrasound
and they're the most
beautiful baby in the world.
I hope Sunshine looks like their father.
Ma'am, you have a guest.
Let them in.
April 10th, 1991.
Sunshine.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't protect you.
Welcome.
Who are these people?
The people closest to Chairwoman Han.
Director Han, you made
Director Yoo resign, didn't you?
If I give up,
no one else will look for you.
I'm right here.
One day, your crimes will catch up to you.
It's one that has lasted for 27 years.
What are you doing over there?
So it's one of those two?
Why are you dredging up
such a dangerous case?
I thought it'd be buried for good,
but the time has come.
I'm going to find you no matter what.
The key to this plan is me. I'm the bait.
