Kairos (2020): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

(I asked you to give my phone back...)

I asked you to give my phone back, but why did you send a weird photo?

By the way, I've seen this Da Bin girl.

After six years of construction,

Deokpung-daero, the East Sea Route, is finally open.

The construction began in 2014.

This is the second longest route after Jangmun Highway.

Just the section above the water is no less than 18km long.

The Road Traffic Authority will allow vehicles...

to drive on this route freely for a month...

starting August 10 as their plan.



- Hello? - We need to meet.

Let's meet and talk.

Are you going to give me back my phone?

If you really saw Da Bin,

I'm willing to buy you 100 phones.

But if you're lying,

you're going to pay for it.

I have a lot to say too.

Let's meet tomorrow.

And about your flyer...

I think you got the date wrong.

It's August right now, but it says September.

You should check.

It's...



What does she mean it's August?

Do you think you can use the bathroom by yourself?

Yes. I'm feeling much better thanks to everyone.

Where can I get some water?

Turn right, and it's at the end of the hallway.

In emergency cases, press the bell over there.

Okay. Thank you.

(Complete Rest)

Ms. Kwak Song Ja?

Who are you?

(Episode 2)

I've been waiting for an hour. Please pick up.

(My Daughter)

Your call cannot be connected.

You'll be redirected to voice mail.

Darn it.

Was there a woman looking for her phone?

No.

(Mr. Park Ho Young)

- Yes? - Could you come to the station?

Ma'am.

I'm sorry, but could you move to another spot?

I'm sorry.

I'm certain this is the place.

He should at least pick up the phone.

Gosh, what a scammer.

Darn it.

(Missing Child)

(Date of Disappearance: September 6, 2020, around 8pm)

(Date of Disappearance: August 6, 2020, around 8pm)

Even though he's a scammer,

her daughter is innocent.

Have you still not gotten your phone back?

I even sent him a threatening message.

Hey, don't get me started.

I got stood up for three hours today.

Gosh.

Just terminate the number.

The moment he inserts a new SIM card,

the phone company will know right away.

I should still get back my phone.

I actually terminated my number just a while ago.

Hey, Mom can finally eat whatever she wants again, right?

I bought her favourite.

What is it? I'm starving.

Dumplings.

- They must be tasty. - Can she have them, though?

- I'll ask the doctor. - Okay.

What? Did she move her room?

Did Ms. Kwak Song Ja in Room 35 change the room?

She was discharged.

What?

We were surprised too.

She didn't discuss it with us,

and the professor didn't say anything either.

But she went to the Administration Department...

and signed the discharge forms herself.

What's going on? Did she not say anything to you?

Focus. Call her right now.

I have...

her phone.

Does that mean you can't reach her?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom.

Ma'am, did my mom stop by today?

No, she didn't. Why?

- Ma'am, have you seen my mom? - No, I haven't.

About that bike that delivered the parcel...

Did you track it?

It's not that easy to track.

The license plate is tiny, and the CCTV footage was too grainy.

It's not easy to identify the number, but we have.

We looked through the black boxes of all the vehicles...

that drove on the same road as that bike.

And miraculously, we found the number.

This is the suspect's information.

(Workplace: Quick Brothers, Sungjin Labour Force)

What's odd is that he's not demanding a ransom.

That means there must be resentment.

Do you know him?

No. Not at all.

He may have an accomplice.

But it's just too strange.

(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)

If he was a stranger, it wouldn't have been easy...

to leave the premises with the girl among all those people.

Even if you trip over, you won't break your legs.

- Ma'am. - Mr. Kim.

Did anyone meet Da Bin other than me and my wife?

I doubt it.

You know she comes and goes with the kindergarten bus.

What about you?

Where were you, and what were you doing...

on the day Da Bin disappeared?

Mr. Kim. I know it's tough...

Whether it's the CCTV footage or event pictures,

anything is okay.

Please give me all data related to Da Bin.

Pictures and profiles of all teachers too.

Every one of them, please. I beg you.

Wait here.

Who is it?

Police. Here's the search warrant.

- 2 in the bedroom over there. - Yes, sir.

1 in the balcony.

Are you here because of Da Bin?

I've already said everything about her.

Hey. Over here.

Well...

- Get out of the way. - But...

There's nothing in here.

- Move aside. - No. Wait.

I don't know what happened to Da Bin.

I'm serious.

- You need to come with us. - My goodness.

I don't know what happened to her.

They were throwing out expensive clothes after 1 or 2 uses.

I took them because they were a waste.

I don't know what happened to Da Bin.

Then where did you suddenly get that much money?

I told you already!

I got paid back from the borrower.

This is crazy.

What were you going to do with all her clothes?

I sold them in the secondhand store.

I don't know. I don't remember anything.

I verified where the money came from.

Do I have to say even things like that?

Is everything she said true?

Yes. Her testimony is consistent.

We've confirmed the truth.

She's a petty thief, but not a kidnapper?

My goodness.

What about the delivery guy?

That sneaky punk.

Detective Kang is in an ambush.

(Missing Child)

(Personnel record)

Only if there was a witness...

(Contact)

Your call cannot be connected.

Mom.

Mom. Where are you?

What if you pass out again while staying alone?

(Where are you? Pick up the phone.)

Why didn't you keep your promise?

Do you know what it's like to lose a child?

Seriously.

He's the one who didn't keep his promise.

Look. You're the one that didn't keep your promise.

Everything you say is a lie.

You didn't show up!

I waited three hours for you there.

If you can't trust me, ask the employees there.

Were you really there in the café at noon?

From 12pm to 3pm, I ordered 1 juice and waited.

I had to leave because I felt uncomfortable.

I waited over two hours in that café.

It's impossible that we didn't see each other...

in such a small space when we were there for hours.

How can you make such lie over a missing child? How?

I can't believe you.

I knew you were a fraud, but I still went for the child.

I even put up the flyer...

you sent me on the bulletin at the café!

And you got the date wrong, so I even fixed that for you.

Don't you think you're a bit too rude?

Why do you keep talking about the date?

I can sue you for a scam!

You stop lying, for goodness' sake!

This is over. I'm never picking up his calls again.

I got the number terminated.

How is he calling with the terminated number?

(Police)

(Mr. Park Ho Young)

Hello?

Is the suspect you arrested the culprit?

Have you found Kim Da Bin's body?

What's his motive?

Sir. I only delivered the parcel.

Then why did you run away like you were guilty?

Seriously. Because you were chasing me.

I was scared because you were chasing me, so I ran.

I went crazy when I saw the news.

- Have you confirmed it? - Wait.

Are you sure the victim is dead?

We'll have a briefing when we get the result.

- When will you get the result? - Any possibility of an accomplice?

- Mr. Kim! - How are you sure?

- Excuse me. - Officer!

- How are the parents? - Officer!

(Violent Crimes Team Three)

Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim!

I just went to the address I got!

There was a box!

It's true!

- Is doing my work a sin? - Die!

I will kill you.

- I didn't do it. - What is it?

What did you do to my daughter?

Get out.

- I'm going to kill him myself! - Please calm down.

- What are you doing? - Let go!

Let me go.

What are you doing? I thought you quit smoking.

It's not easy to quit smoking doing this job.

- What about Mr. Kim? - I barely sent him home.

He couldn't even control his body.

Maybe I should've sent him to the hospital.

Oh, and I don't think it's the delivery guy.

- Right? - Yes.

He has no motive.

That means the culprit is somebody else.

Let's wait for the component analysis result first.

- Sure. - Goodness.

If you're not going to behave, go home.

I'm going to see Mom playing the violin.

Then you need to stay quiet.

You scared everyone. Look what you've done.

Hello? This is Kim Seo Jin.

We just got the result of the analysis.

The result says...

they do not match.

Hello?

Hello? Mr. Kim.

Then what will happen to the investigation?

The delivery man has a solid alibi at the time...

of Da Bin's disappearance.

He'll be indicted for abetting the abandonment of a dead body.

Abandoning a dead body?

Do you really think...

Da Bin and Hyun Chae are dead?

Considering how we still haven't found them,

I'd say the chance is very low.

I understand how you feel, Mr. Kim.

But in this situation, we'll be able to catch the culprit faster...

if we find their bodies.

Let's see how the investigation goes.

Please tell me.

What can I do?

I don't even know...

whether my wife...

and my daughter are dead or alive.

How could a useless man like me do anything?

Mr. Kim.

You need to do what you can do.

Everything already has happened.

If I can't turn back the time, must I accept the reality?

I can't do that.

Is anybody there?

Is anyone around?

(Message from Mr. Seo)

Mr. Kim, there's a written report regarding Mountain Hill's materials.

Hello? Da Bin...

- She's with you, right? - Do you want to see her?

Let me talk to her.

I want to hear...

her voice.

Please! I beg you. I'll give you everything you want.

Please let me talk to her!

I will give you all the money you want.

Please just send her back home in one piece.

- I beg you. - Please!

- She will go back home tomorrow. - Please...

- Hello? - Finally.

You picked up my phone, right? Please give it back.

Who is this?

I'm the owner of the phone you're using right now.

- You called the wrong number. - Could you lower the volume?

It will approach Korea.

Hello? I did call the right number.

That's my phone.

(Call Record)

Who is this?

I'm the owner of the phone you're using right now.

Typhoon Chamsae is moving north...

- from Okinawa as of now... - Ma'am!

(Call Record)

A typhoon warning will be issued on the eastern coast.

Typhoon Chamsae is moving north...

from Okinawa as of now, August 8. In the afternoon of August 9...

Who is this?

Typhoon Chamsae is moving north...

from Okinawa as of now, August 8.

In the afternoon of August 9,

- it will approach Korea. - Ma'am! Could you lower the volume?

May I ask you a question?

Was there a woman who came alone after 12pm the day before yesterday?

I'm not sure. I can't remember because we had too many customers.

Then by any chance,

is there a bulletin or anything that's used to put up flyers?

Have I gone insane?

Fine.

That's the least I can do.

(Missing Child)

I even put up the flyer you sent me on the bulletin at the café!

And you got the date wrong, so I even fixed that for you.

Don't you think you're a bit too rude?

(Date of Disappearance: August 6, 2020, around 8pm)

And about your flyer...

I think you got the date wrong.

It's August right now, but it says September.

You should check.

Your call cannot be connected. You'll be redirected to voice mail.

This is Kim Seo Jin. Give me a call.

Please, I ask of you.

Is this the hospital?

I'm Ms. Kwak Song Ja's guardian.

Did you receive any calls today?

I see.

All right.

Ae Ri.

- You're here. - Didn't you go out to work today?

I didn't know when Mom would come, so I stayed home today.

Have you eaten?

Did you report her as missing?

I did, but the police can't do much either.

I shouldn't have met that scammer back then.

I should've gone to see Mom.

I want to turn back the time.

No matter how much I think about it, he sounds completely absurd.

He kept insisting he was there to meet me.

I couldn't believe it.

Anyway, there was something really weird.

What's weird?

I got that number terminated,

but he keeps calling me with that number.

That sounds like an urban legend. I guess you got confused. Forget it.

Are you going to work tomorrow?

I already took two days off.

Geon Wook filled in for me yesterday, though.

He ignored my calls all day long. Man, Im Geon Wook.

He'd do anything you say.

Geon Wook.

Hey, Geon Wook.

Come on out, Geon Wook. Open the door.

Geon Wook!

Geon Wook.

If I catch you, I'll kill you.

Hey, long time no see.

- Please spare my life. - Hey!

Please let me... Spare my life.

- Hey, man. Enough. - That's enough.

- This little punk has no manners. - This punk!

Why did you ignore our calls and went out of touch?

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

- Darn it, you punk. - Please let me live.

I really don't have any money.

Even if you looked everywhere, I haven't got a penny.

I'm so sorry.

Then you'll pay me back with your body.

Let's see. Your heart.

Your liver. Okay?

And if we took your eyeballs, that might just cover the interest.

The interest will snowball as the days go by. You got that?

- I'm sorry. - Do you understand?

- Make sure you do your part. - I'm sorry.

Where did you get the nerve to ignore my calls?

Is he asking me to end his life or what?

Make sure you pick up your phone.

(My Daughter)

Do you still have something to say?

What's today's date?

- Are you kidding me? - Are you living...

in August right now?

Look at your calendar. Why are you asking me?

Is it August?

It's Thursday, August 13, 2020.

Happy now?

Wait! Wait, don't hang up. Please don't do that.

I might sound like a lunatic,

but please save my wife and my daughter.

You're the only one who can do that.

I'm currently living...

a month ahead of you.

I mean it. It's September here.

Hey.

My life is already as difficult as it can be.

You really need to stop this, okay?

Please trust me. I live in your future right now.

You lunatic!

Hello? Please don't hang up. Hello?

These are the winning numbers for the week's lottery.

If you hear from my mom,

could you please ask her to call this number?

(Song Joon)

(My Daughter)

(Song Joon)

Hello, my name is Han Ae Ri, the daughter of Ms. Kwak Song Ja.

Have you heard from my mom by any chance?

Your call cannot be connected. You'll be redirected to voice mail.

Your call will be charged after the beep.

Please...

- Hello. - Hello.

You must be doing a lot of work while Director Kim is away.

I'm just doing my job. I'll do everything to make sure...

everything flows smoothly once he returns from his break.

Good. Everything we do is done by people.

His well-being is more important than how long he'll be off work.

We need to let the man live first, of course.

Our philosophy is to build houses where people can have a life.

All right. Keep up the good work.

- Yes, Mr. Kim. - Hey, it's my phone number.

You activated this number, right?

Yes, is there a problem?

I need the information of the person who used this number.

1-4, Hangil-ro.

(1-4 Hangil-ro)

Excuse me.

Is anybody home?

(1-4 Hangil-ro)

Hey, Geon Wook.

Does Ms. Han Ae Ri live here?

- She doesn't live here. - Excuse me.

Have you been living here for a long time?

No, I moved in a month ago.

Could it be the former tenant?

Was her name Han Ae Ri?

I'm not sure,

but I heard she lived here for a long time.

She went to the school over there.

School? I see.

Hey, Ae Ri.

Well... I think we can find your mom.

Really?

Yes.

I didn't tell you sooner...

because I was unsure and didn't want you to have false hope.

But I'm positive.

How? Tell me right now.

I know a friend from work who's extremely tech-savvy.

He can get into any website.

I asked him if he could hack into the health insurance site,

and he said yes.

I heard you're looking for Han Ae Ri, our former student.

I'm sorry, but where are you from again?

Here.

(Director Kim Seo Jin, Yoojoong Constructions)

It's urgent.

I was her homeroom teacher, but I'm not sure...

if she's still using this number.

(Han Ae Ri)

This number didn't work.

Is there any other way I could reach her?

She had a close friend,

but I'm not sure if they're still in touch.

Could you give me that friend's number, please?

(Hyo Electronics Mall)

(Hyo Electronics Mall)

- Ae Ri. - Geon Wook.

Hey, what happened to your face?

It's nothing. I fell off the bike.

You should've been more careful.

Did you bring them?

Are you sure? Can he really find my mom?

If she visited another hospital, he can find out which one it was.

If he's lucky, he could even find out where she's staying.

She needs to go to a hospital for her medication anyway.

You're sure, right?

He can find her hospital records, right?

If he finds the name of the hospital she visited,

could he also find out where she is right now?

He'll try his best.

Give me them.

It's a copy of the bankbook that I use...

to pay our health insurance and a family relation certificate.

One minute.

Hey.

I'm coming up right now.

Okay.

It won't take long.

He's good, so he won't take too long to hack it.

You can wait around here.

Thank you so much.

(Park Soo Jung)

Hello?

Is this Ms. Park Soo Jung?

Yes. Why?

You know Ms. Han Ae Ri, right?

It wasn't easy to get your number.

- Could you... - I don't know her.

Don't you ever call me again.

Hello? Hello...

(Laptops, Computers)

What is this?

(Withdrawal: 30,000 dollars)

Is Geon Wook here?

He hasn't shown up to work for a few days now.

That precious money!

You worked so hard to save that up! That scumbag!

Open up, you scumbag.

- I said, open the door! - Ae Ri, I know the passcode.

Geon Wook!

He must be in some big trouble.

You scumbag.

I'm going to kill you.

I've filed your report.

We'll call you after he's up for wanted.

Will I be able...

to get the money back?

Well... There's no guarantee.

(Winning numbers for the 2nd week of August)

I'm currently living a month ahead of you.

These are the winning numbers for the week's lottery.

1, 28, 35, 41, 43, and 44.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Hey!

Are you serious?

Are you really from the future?

After her disappearance on the ninth,

part of Kim's body was sent to her family.

Meanwhile, the police believe that it's highly likely...

that she is dead...

and are having trouble with the investigation.

The deliveryman, who was the key suspect,

and the kidnapper's DNA was not...

(Lottery winning numbers, Han Ae Ri...)

If you're really from the future, please help me.

My mom is very ill and needs surgery.

But she disappeared, and my friend ran away with the money.

His name is Im Geon Wook born on October 23, 1995.

Please find this scumbag who ran away...

with my mom's hospital money. Please help me find my mom.

First voicemail.

Hey! Are you really from the future?

If you are,

please...

find my mom!

Please find my money!

Then I'll believe you.

I'll believe that you're from the future.

Hello?

This is Kim Seo Jin. I got your voicemail.

First, we should find that guy, Im Geon Wook.

Did he steal your mom's hospital money?

I had saved up that money for the past five years...

and lost it in just five minutes.

I see.

I'll find him at all costs.

Your mother too.

If you do, I'll believe you.

That you live in the future.

And your request.

Your call cannot be connected. You'll be redirected to voice mail.

Your call will be charged after the beep.

(Call ended)

(Ministry of Justice)

How did she get in here?

- Can't you see the yellow tag? - What?

It's a murder. She's a murderer.

My goodness. Crazy witch.

Who did she kill? Her husband?

It was either the man who killed her mom...

or she stabbed someone for money.

Anyway, don't get near a murderer.

We got the arrest...

and sent the delivery guy to the detention center.

But we don't know who gave him the parcel.

I know it's frustrating,

but we are doing our best.

I have a favour.

About Im Geon Wook's whereabouts you asked.

You should go to Jungdong Prison.

(Jungdong Prison)

(Meeting Room)

The meeting time is from 30 minutes to an hour.

We finally met.

Who are you?

19 years ago,

I almost got killed.

Luckily, I survived,

but I also lost a lot of things.

What's already happened can't be undone.

That's what I thought.

I had to think that way...

to endure it.

But...

I was wrong.

It can be undone.

You are going to save my life,

and I'm going to save yours.

(Han Ae Ri)

- Hello? - Han Ae Ri.

I've found that man.

Where is that punk now?

Before I tell you, promise me one thing.

I found Im Geon Wook.

My friends saw him at an internet café in Changam-dong.

Hello? What's that reaction? Are you listening?

I already knew.

What? Who told you?

I'll tell you later.

(My Daughter)

On the night of August 17, you and Im Geon Wook...

will meet in Changam-dong.

And you will kill him...

by negligence.

In the world I live in, a month later,

you are imprisoned.

Don't do anything stupid.

I'll get your money back too.

Are you listening?

I...

commit murder?

(Cheonha Internet Café)

Im Geon Wook.

You jerk.

Stop right there.

Hey!

You jerk. Stop!

Im Geon Wook!

You punk!

Seriously!

Your money...

I'll pay it all back!

Go.

Please. Just go already!

Hey.

Don't get near me.

Han Ae Ri. Wait.

Don't come closer.

Ae Ri. The knife.

Put that knife down.

What are you going to do with that knife?

Ae Ri.

You were supposed to be killed by me today.

I stab you with this knife,

and you strike me with a rock.

You were supposed to be killed by this knife.

But I'm going to let you go.

Because I have to meet my mom.

If I kill you and go to prison, I can't meet my mom!

Gosh.

Hey. I...

I had no other choice.

You know what that money meant to me.

How can you do this to me?

No matter what happens...

No matter what happens, I'm going to get my money back from you.

Ae Ri!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm requesting a visit.

Please double-check the inmate's name.

"Han Ae Ri" is correct.

Ms. Han Ae Ri.

There's no one by that name.

I can't find her on the discharge list either.

She's never entered this prison.

I'm sorry, but I think there's been a misunderstanding.

It changed. I did it.

I can save them.

(Kim Ji Soo)

Ji Soo.

Are you not in pain anymore?

I will punish...

whoever hurt you.

I promise.

Hello?

Ms. Han.

Thanks to you, I found him.

I know. Good job.

You held yourself back.

How do you know that?

I already told you that I was from the future.

Now it's your turn to help me.

But to be frank,

I'm not too sure.

I'm not 100-percent sure for now.

I'm going to send you a text right now.

Consider it as a down payment.

(Lottery, 2nd week of August)

These are the winning numbers...

for the 1st lottery on the 3rd week of August.

Did you say you lost 30,000 dollars?

Will you trust me this time?

I'd like to buy a lottery ticket.

(August 19 lottery)

(925th winning numbers)

Four.

14.

23, 35, 37.

I got second place.

(Reward)

40,000 dollars.

Mr. Kim.

What do you need me to do?

Let's do this.

We can only talk...

from 10:33pm to 10:34pm.

It's just one minute.

I'll text you in advance if needed.

First, we need to meet.

I'm working at the headquarters of Yoojoong Constructions...

in Joongang-Gu.

I'm usually in the office in the afternoon.

Please come and ask for me.

My office is on the 12th floor.

(Yoojoong Constructions)

This is our family photo.

It's a recent one, so you'll recognize me for sure.

Meanwhile, I'll meet you in this world as well.

Since the past has changed a month ago,

you may now know where your mother is. Or...

Perhaps, you two may be living together.

Sir, I'm certain he's our guy. My gut feelings are screaming at me.

You can't even see what he's wearing.

That won't do. Look for others.

He's the only one who brought a parcel to that site. It's him.

- Fine. Let's say it's him. - Okay.

Then how are we to catch him?

How can we find him based on this photo of his back?

Sir, take a look at this.

Doesn't he have a peculiar gait? He has an out-toed gait.

He's right. He has bow legs and it's an antalgic gait.

Not many people walk like this.

If we find people with this gait, we'll be able to close in on them.

You fools.

So where in the world can we find those who walk like this?

Gosh, what a headache. Keep looking!

How may we help you?

I kidnapped Kim Da Bin!

I kidnapped Kim Da Bin!

I...

- Cuff him. - Search him!

Kim Seo Jin killed my kid.

Because Kim Seo Jin killed my kid!

I'd like to meet with Director Kim Seo Jin.

I see. Have you made an appointment?

No, but this is extremely urgent.

I'll explain everything to him.

If you haven't made an appointment, I'm afraid you can't enter.

I'm sorry.

(All employees are to wear their ID cards.)

(Visitors are to hand in their ID cards at the reception.)

The chairman is entering through the main entrance.

We'll open the door.

Mr. Kim.

(Kairos)

We've caught the culprit.

Where is my daughter? Where is she? Tell me now!

You don't know me, do you? Because I know you very well.

In a few weeks, your daughter, Kim Da Bin,

will be kidnapped and murdered.

- Who are you? - You told me yourself.

- Is it him? - Yes, it is.

Didn't you say Kim Jin Ho wasn't an ex-convict?

It's all fabricated.

- Do you have proof? - How can I prove that?

If you're really the culprit, then this is only the beginning.

I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen...

at all costs.
