(Episode 10: The Child Who Survived)
This
is where the culprit killed Baek Ji Eun, Yeom Hye Jin,
and An Tae Ho.
Why did the culprit choose this place to commit his crimes?
It's strangely familiar.
I feel like I've been here before in the past.
(Just kill me.)
(There are people in here. Please save 11, 12, and 13.)
What are you doing in here?
Sung Jun.
Oh, it's my mom!
Help me.
Help me.
Where are you, Sung Jun?
A long time ago, we were struggling financially,
so we had to send away some of the older kids.
Hope Welfare Center said they could take them in,
so we sent them there.
That place was quite big at that time.
What were the names of the kids that were sent there?
There were a total of three kids.
The oldest kid was Gabriel, and the other two were siblings.
The older sister was Yoon Jung and her brother was Yoon Jae.
- Did you say "Yoon Jae"?
- Yes, that's right.
Her younger brother's name was Yoon Jae. Jung Yoon Jae.
How old was he?
At that time,
he was nine years old.
Do you still keep in contact with those kids?
After they went there, I lost contact with them.
I figured no news was good news,
but one day, I heard rumors that Hope Welfare Center was closing.
I was so surprised, so I looked into them.
I was told Gabriel was adopted,
and they said they had no idea where Yoon Jung went.
And Yoon Jae
What happened to Yoon Jae?
Yoon Jae
died.
- Did you lock it?
- Yes, I did.
Have a seat.
Show them.
The culprit sent this video to Chief Yeom.
Why are you doing this to me?
Why am I doing this?
Ask your father, Chief Yeom Ki Nam.
I don't know what my father did to you,
but I apologize on his behalf.
Please forgive him.
My son is waiting for me at home.
Please don't kill me.
Chief Yeom Ki Nam, are you watching this?
Your daughter is begging me not to kill her.
Darn it
So this is the culprit who killed An Tae Ho as well, right?
This is the basement cell underneath Hope Welfare Center.
Why didn't Chief Yeom show this to us
after he had gotten this?
He must not have wanted his own sins to be revealed.
What kind of sins did he commit
to hide the culprit who killed his own daughter?
He didn't try to hide him.
He tried to secretly kill him with Mr. Baek and Detective Kang.
The culprit was at Hope Welfare Center 20 years ago.
That kid grew up and is now taking revenge on those who tortured him.
The problem is that his revenge isn't over.
Then who's next?
When the culprit publicly executed An Tae Ho,
he invited the rest of the jurors to the killing game.
Jo Eun Ki.
Kwon Kyung Ja.
Lee Jung Soo.
Bae Chul Ho. Jung In Seong.
What would be the reason they were all invited?
Then are these people also connected to Hope Welfare Center somehow?
We need to find that out from now on.
If these people are connected to Hope Welfare Center in some way,
the culprit's next target is among them.
Do you like puffer fish sashimi?
I'm not sure. I've never tried it.
Usually, people who like sashimi
consider puffer fish the ultimate sashimi.
Some hesitate to try it because of the poison.
But don't you have to put up with that much for something so tasty?
I guess you like adventure, Mr. Lee Jung Soo.
My motto is to enjoy today and not care about tomorrow.
Did you develop that conviction after your brother died?
I saw that your brother died when you were young.
What was the cause of death?
My brother went missing.
We looked for him for years but never found him.
So we reported him dead.
When was that?
It was when I was nine years old, so in 1999.
He disappeared on his way home from school,
like a puff of smoke and like the 20th century.
Could I have your parents' contact information?
Well
You should just leave my parents alone.
They barely got back to their own lives after letting my brother go.
How can you be so sure your parents let your brother go?
A woman I know still tries to find her lost son from 20 years ago
and goes to crowded places on the weekends to hand out fliers.
And what I want to know
is whether or not your parents are connected to Hope Welfare Center.
What's your number, detective?
(Ryu Sung Jun)
I thought my son might be at an orphanage,
so I searched every single one in the country.
But I still couldn't find him.
Did you perhaps go to Hope Welfare Center as well?
Hope Welfare Center?
Oh, we didn't go to that place ourselves.
The station chief in that area looked into it for us.
The station chief?
Was the station chief's name Yeom Ki Nam?
Yes, that's right. It was Chief Yeom Ki Nam.
He worked so hard to try and find our Hyun Soo.
Producer Bae Chul Ho is on vacation. But we can't reach him.
Yes. But there's one thing that bothers me.
Twenty years ago, Producer Bae
pulled the plug on an investigative show on Hope Welfare Center.
Yes.
But nobody knows why he stopped the show.
What? Who?
Oh, the detective.
I'm here to pray.
Gosh, I thought I should at least pray for Manager An's soul.
Hope Welfare Center?
I don't know.
Goodness.
I have no one in this world. I have no relations.
I might have had a client who was from there, though.
Where did you say that welfare center was located?
Sosan-myeon?
Lady.
- Lady, save us.
- Save us!
- Lady, they are trying to kill us!
- Save us!
- Lady!
- Save us!
Save us!
Perhaps, were those kids
What do you mean by those kids?
I saw
some kids being dragged away by men in military uniform.
They were young kids, and they were wearing tracksuits.
They had numbers on their chests.
Numbers?
Do you remember anything else?
Wait a second.
Yes.
I can see it.
The number was
thirteen.
It was number 13.
Did you just see the kids there? Was that all?
No. I saw that kid's future.
The whole world was drenched in blood.
People were dying.
Hello?
Ms. Kwon Kyung Ja.
Kill him.
You must kill that kid.
If you let that kid live,
you will die and so will the rest of us.
A witness?
Yes.
I think she witnessed the kids who were caught running away.
Then all three of them are connected.
What about Jung In Seong and Jo Eun Ki?
I'm trying to contact Jo Eun Ki,
and Jung In Seong is on his way back from a business trip.
Sung Jun. Jung In Seong is here.
Yes, hello.
It's stuffy in here, isn't it?
I'm sorry. The squad room is too noisy.
It's okay.
Both of your parents are American citizens.
- When did you go to the States?
- When I was little.
My dad was an American soldier stationed in Korea.
An American soldier?
He adopted me before going back to America.
Then
Do you know where you were before you were adopted?
I don't.
I was in a car accident shortly after I was adopted.
I lost all memories prior in some kind of aftereffect.
So
Both your parents are in the US, right?
Could you have been adopted from Hope Welfare
They're both
dead.
- Thanks, bye.
- Bye, take care.
Your kkakdugi's delicious.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Welcome.
Sit over here.
Hey. Mom.
Two gukbap and a rolled omelet, as quick as you can.
I'm too busy to make you a rolled omelet.
Come on.
My goodness.
Is she your mother?
Oh, no.
She's like a mother to me.
Her son disappeared 20 years ago.
She opened this place
opposite the police station thinking the closer she was,
the sooner she'd hear about her son.
I'm a cop and I couldn't find him for her.
So I'm a surrogate son.
Excuse me.
Hi, Eun Ki.
(Please help find In Seong)
Hello, how are you?
Is this your first time here?
Yes.
Why are you so hard to reach? I got worried.
Eun Ki, did your mother ever say
she worked at Hope Welfare Center?
No, she didn't.
I see.
I'll ask her myself.
Can I have her number and address?
Why? Do you have something to say?
You said your name was Jung Yoon Jae
before you were adopted.
Yes.
Why?
I think that memory is false.
What do you mean it's false?
I met someone who knew Yoon Jae.
But she said
Hope Welfare Center's Jung Yoon Jae died 20 years ago.
Is she sure
Yoon Jae is dead?
Did she see his body or something?
She knows where it is.
Corpses that no one claims are cremated and kept
at the House of Remembrance for ten years.
If no one comes forward during that time,
the ashes are buried with others who met the same fate.
(The 381 unclaimed souls from 2002 were buried here, August 10, 2013.)
This must be where Yoon Jae was buried.
Hope Welfare Center's Yoon Jae is dead.
Then why did I think I was Yoon Jae until now?
Detective Ryu.
Detective Ryu. Are you all right?
Bro.
Bro. Watch me.
Yoon Jae. Don't.
Sung Jun doesn't know he was adopted, right?
He can't even remember who he is.
Could he remember that?
It could be for the best.
It's too late to send him back.
Even if we don't like it, we must keep him.
I don't know who I am.
I don't know my real mom and dad's faces.
I don't know where I lived before I came here.
Do you really not remember?
No.
But
I think someone called me "Yoon Jae."
Is that my name?
What are all these memories?
Detective Ryu.
I'm fine.
(2002NA1523 Embezzlement)
(Muyeong Local Court)
(Sentenced August 9, 2002)
(2002NA1523 Ruling Embezzlement)
Careful.
I'm fine.
Don't mind me.
I'm fine too. Don't mind me either.
I'm pathetic, aren't I?
I don't even know who I am.
You don't know yourself just because you remember.
Why did you think you were Yoon Jae?
There must've been a reason.
I heard someone
call out.
A voice?
Yoon Jae.
Yoon Jae. Jung Yoon Jae.
Who was that?
Sung Jun.
Sung Jun.
When he gets drunk on his own sometimes,
he gets so utterly miserable.
I'm glad he's not alone tonight.
Do you know where he lives?
I don't but someone who does will be here soon.
Oh Good, then.
Hello.
Okay.
Gosh.
Who am I?
At the playground you said
I was Yoon Jae.
Why did you do that to me?
Why?
Stop hiding and come out.
Why did you do that to me?
Why? Why did you do it?
Gosh.
Sung Hoon. Thank you for this.
How did I get home last night?
I blacked out, so I don't remember.
I brought you home because Eun Ki called me.
Really?
Thank goodness.
I thought Eun Ki carried me here.
Why did you drink so much?
I have my reasons for that.
Is it a secret you can't tell me?
Gosh, it's not like that.
Number 13. Yoon Jae.
You and I were going after someone who died 20 years ago.
Really?
Is that why you got completely drunk?
No, it's not necessarily because of that.
I'll tell you later when I know for sure.
I don't really know what's going on right now either.
Okay, then.
Have something for your hangover. You might get sick.
Okay.
Thank you.
My daughter!
Mom!
Goodness, my daughter.
Have you been well?
Why did you get so pretty?
Ms. Jo, the doter, is at it again.
In my eyes, you're Miss Korea.
Are you seeing anyone these days?
- No, I'm not.
- Why not?
You need to meet a nice guy and get married.
I'm sure I'll meet someone eventually.
To be honest, I came here to ask you something.
What is it?
Have you heard of Hope Welfare Center?
No.
I've never heard about them.
Really?
Then Dad must have no connections to that place either.
Of course.
Why are you asking me that so suddenly?
Never mind.
What kind of person was Dad?
I just suddenly got curious.
You never talked about Dad before.
What's the point of talking about someone who's dead?
It'll just upset me.
Was he handsome?
If you have a photo, show me, so I can see what he looks like.
I don't have anything like that. I threw it all out.
Why? It's not like he's your enemy.
Is there a reason why I shouldn't know what my dad looked like?
Dad!
If you're going to keep talking about him, leave.
Just leave.
Mom.
Eun Ki.
(Chamgoun Nursing Hospital)
What are you doing here, In Seong?
We did jury duty together.
This is my mom.
Hello. I'm Jung In Seong.
I see. Hello.
What brings you here?
I had some business inside.
At the playground you said
I was Yoon Jae.
(Yeonju-dong)
Judge Ryu. You have a lot of work today.
This is a record of all the cases you've been assigned.
Please leave it on my desk.
The hospital your mother works at uses my company's software.
We go to our clients, update their systems,
and fix any errors that come up. That's my job.
When you said you worked for a company,
I thought you studied liberal arts, not science.
If your computer ever breaks, call me.
- I'll go and fix it for you.
- Thank you.
Did you meet the nun?
I heard you talking on the phone with her at the funeral.
Oh, I see.
Yes, I met with her.
I feel bad. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.
I got curious about Hope Welfare Center too.
Did she say anything?
She knew as much as we do.
But why are you curious about that place?
- Because
- Hold on.
Hello? Yes.
If the culprit isn't Yoon Jae, who is it?
It'll be someone who knows Jung Yoon Jae well.
Even if 20 years have passed,
it'd be hard to mistake someone else for Yoon Jae.
No. I think that's a possibility.
When you go to your elementary school reunion,
there are people who show up looking completely different.
When they tell you who they are,
you say, "Oh, it's you!"
"Did you always look like this?"
In any case, if you were to see them on the streets,
you would never recognize them.
Manager An probably didn't know who the culprit was at first.
That's why he went to the wedding.
To find out who the culprit was.
- Seok Gu.
- Yes?
Did you make a copy of the CCTV footage from Kang Ha Na's wedding?
Yes.
Fast forward.
Over here. Go back.
Right. From here. Go slowly.
Okay. Stop.
Over there. The black hat.
This guy went in right before Manager An.
This punk is the culprit.
Darn it
We missed the guy in the black hat while focusing on An Tae Ho.
Check the wedding hall's security cameras once more.
And track down the black hat guy.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
(Petroleum, diesel fuel)
Yu Na's mother, don't be like this. Please go just once.
I won't go.
Adults shouldn't get involved in a kids' fight.
The other kid's mom is saying she'll report Yu Na
to the school violence committee if you and Yu Na don't apologize.
Please go and talk to the other mom tomorrow.
I'm baffled.
Why are you asking me to apologize for something Yu Na did wrong?
Yu Na didn't do anything wrong.
She didn't, but if it's just her, she might take all the blame.
So you should go and stand up for her.
You didn't even visit Yu Na when she was in the hospital.
And what about her? Did she even call me?
Gosh, anyway, I don't want to go to any schools.
When you see Yu Na, tell her I wish her luck.
And tell her not to come home.
There's only one room. Having a grown daughter around
will make my boyfriend uncomfortable.
Are you telling Yu Na to sleep elsewhere because of your boyfriend?
Yu Na is still a child. You're her mother!
I know.
I shouldn't have given birth to her.
Here you go.
Do you like Ms. Jo?
No.
If you're not a stalker, why are you following her around?
Kwon Yu Na.
Didn't you agree
not to ask about today if I bought you what you wanted to eat?
Even verbal contracts are binding.
In case of a breach of contract,
you generally must pay 2 to 3 times the agreed upon amount
I can't talk about that either, right?
Why are you showing this to me?
It seems like your secret.
You must've seen earlier,
but I don't have a home to go to.
I have a mom, but I might as well be an orphan.
The teachers and kids at school
look down on me because my mom is a karaoke escort.
But Ms. Jo was the first.
The first adult who didn't expect anything and just treated me well.
Ever since I met her, things have become weird.
I haven't changed a bit, and neither has the world.
But I just feel like life is fun.
And I have some hope that I could become someone decent.
So don't hurt Ms. Jo.
If something happens to Ms. Jo, I won't let you get away with it.
Why are you smiling?
Is your dream to become a decent person?
What kind of person is a decent one?
Someone like Ms. Jo?
Then what about you?
What kind of person did you want to become?
A normal person.
Gosh, how annoying.
Come on. Let's go become normal people.
What happened with the black hat guy?
We couldn't find him.
What about the kids who were close to Yoon Jae? Did you look into them?
There has to be records for us to look into it.
List of kids, list of staff, financial audit records
None of the records on the welfare center still exist.
It's as if someone destroyed the records on purpose.
They're completely gone.
I'm sorry, sir.
There aren't any records, but the person still exists.
Person? Who?
The person who was with the kids.
The head of security.
(Video Investigation Room)
Hope Welfare Center.
What on earth happened at Hope Welfare Center?
I need to know what happened
to find the culprit.
(Death Certificate, Jung Yoon Jae)
(Death Certificate, Jung Yoon Jae)
Is this real?
Why?
Do you think I forged it?
If you really can't believe me, go to the charnel house and check.
Who would it be if it's not Jung Yoon Jae?
Someone who has a deep enough grudge
to kill your daughter.
Say it.
I will make sure
that punk gets punished.
(Muyeong Police, Doing our best for the safety of our residents)
He's on his way out after the visit.
Got it.
(Chamgoun Nursing Hospital)
(Muyeong Local Court)
Your name is Jo In Sook, correct?
Yes.
I will be questioning you as a witness in this case.
You are not related to the defendant, correct?
No, I'm not.
The witness previously worked at Hope Welfare Center. Yes?
- Yes.
- What did you do there?
I worked there as a nurse.
(Jo In Sook: I worked there as a nurse.)
How would I know that Yoon Jae died?
I don't even know where those kids went.
- Is that true?
- I said I don't know!
If you don't leave and keep this up, I'll call the police.
Go and tell Mr. Baek.
Don't ever show up in front of me again.
You got that?
Ms. Jo In Sook?
I'm from Muyeong Police Station.
Detective, what do you need to speak to me about?
You worked at Hope Welfare Center in the past, didn't you?
No, I did not. You're mistaken.
I know nothing about Hope Welfare Center.
Ms. Jo.
A number of people connected to that place have died.
And we don't know how many more will be found dead.
If there's anything you know, please tell me.
I don't know.
- Like I said, I know nothing.
- Please tell me.
That pendant
Where did you get it?
You know something about this pendant?
It's the pendant I gave to Yoon Jae.
Do you know Jung Yoon Jae?
You did work at Hope Welfare Center in the past, right?
In order to catch the killer, I must find out
who Yoon Jae was with before he died.
He was with Number 11
and Number 12.
- What were their names?
- That I don't know.
Then tell me what you remember about them.
Number 11
was older than Yoon Jae.
Yoon Jae, his sister, and Number 11 all came from the same orphanage.
Number 12
might have been the same age as Yoon Jae or younger.
And he was quite small.
When they were trying to escape, his ankle got caught in a trap.
He was hurt badly.
Where did the kids go after the welfare center shut down?
I don't know.
I left that place before they shut down.
I only found out earlier that Yoon Jae had died.
I am telling you the truth.
Detective.
Please don't tell anyone
that I worked there in the past.
Everyone who is connected to Hope Welfare Center is in danger.
So far, all the victims were their family members.
My daughter
- You have a daughter?
- My daughter, Eun Ki
My mom's a nurse.
The social worker at Muyeong Community Children's Center?
Jo Eun Ki?
Yes.
Do you know Eun Ki?
Ms. Jo.
Do you know why the victims were killed?
It was all because of their parents.
If something happens to Eun Ki
(Detective Ryu Sung Jun)
(Muyeong Community Children's Center)
What is it called again?
Ransomware. It's like a bad computer virus.
I see.
Even computer viruses are becoming more vicious.
Thank you so much.
If we lost all those files
You saved me, In Seong.
I saved you? That's nice to hear.
Can I get you something to drink?
If I let you leave like this, I'll feel so bad.
It's okay. I have to rush back to the office.
All right, then.
Then I'll treat you to a nice sushi dinner at Sosoo.
The super deluxe sushi set.
- The super deluxe set?
- That's right.
- Okay.
- All right.
- See you soon.
- Okay.
Who's that?
He's a nice guy.
Lucky you. You have so many good people around you.
That means you have many good people around you too.
I spoke to your mom on the phone earlier.
She's not feeling too well.
So I'll visit your school in her place tomorrow.
Don't worry about it. You don't have to come.
I want to.
I want to show the kids you got into a fight with.
"Kwon Yu Na has a tough sister."
- "Sister?"
- You did the right thing.
If anyone spoke of my mother in that manner
You should've pulled their hair out.
Should I drop by your classroom too?
The kids you fought with and those who just stood there and watched.
I'll teach them a lesson.
- Don't worry. It's fine.
- It's not fine.
Someone who's way stronger than you will come and deal with them.
- Someone who's stronger than I am?
- Yes.
- Who's that?
- Don't ask.
I have to go to the storage room. I left something there.
Who is this person? Are you sure I don't need to come?
Yes, I'm sure. Bye!

Gosh.

I am asking you why you hid it from me!
