Missing: The Other Side (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
I'll try to buy some time,
but it'll only be a few minutes.
How unfair.
He took 27 years from me,
and all I get is a few minutes?
You've waited 27 years for this moment.
Hello. I'm Detective Shin Jun-ho.
- Did you have dinner?
- No.
They didn't even let you eat?
Go and have some dinner.
WOOK
RECORD CALL
Hurry.
Do you know Kim Su-yeon?
Of course I do.
You killed Kim Su-yeon.
I saw everything.
You were in a gray suit, weren't you?
What were you doing there?
My mom was the chairwoman's housekeeper.
So I would often spend time there.
I was there
the day you killed Aunt Su-yeon too.
No wonder you grew up ignorant.
You grew up without a mother.
What did you just say?
How do you know I grew up without a mom?
Because I killed her.
Su-yeon.
Your mom.
The three from the children's home
and Han Sang-gil.
I killed all of them.
If you hadn't made a sound that day,
I wouldn't have killed the housekeeper.
Do you understand?
Your mom died because of you.
I should rip his mouth open.
Why did you kill my mom?
Why?
Let go! Let go of him!
Goodness!
Gosh, Wook! You can't do this!
- No!
- Hurry!
Get him out of here now!
What did you do to Choi Yeo-na?
What did you do to her, you bastard?
Tell me!
- You can't do this, sir.
- Let go!
Were you here all night long?
I'm sorry that I shouted at you
and stormed out yesterday.
I yelled at you many more times
than you did.
It's okay.
I'm sorry
for resenting you
and hating you
all these years.
I would've done the same.
If my mom had disappeared
without a word when I was seven,
I would've been scared.
And if she never came back for me
no matter how long I waited,
I would've hated her too.
- Still, it's all my fault…
- Wook.
Do you remember Tan?
The black dog that lived on our block.
You called him Tan
because he was as black as a briquette.
Because you felt sorry for the stray dog,
you even saved the snacks
you got from preschool to give to Tan.
That's when I realized that you, Wook,
would brighten the world,
just like your name.
You wouldn't ignore people
in need of help.
You're someone that the world needs.
I'm so relieved
that I'm here instead of you.
I shouldn't have taken you to that house.
I left you alone when you were just seven…
In the end,
even though I said I'd come back for you,
I couldn't keep my promise.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't keep my word.
I'm sorry.
Kang Myeong-jin, who was arrested
for killing a woman in her 30s last June,
is said to have committed more crimes.
- During their recent investigation…
- Sir. Please have a look.
The police found several lost items
that are assumed to belong to the victims.
- After requesting a forensic analysis…
- Goodness.
Hey, bring that jerk here.
Due to security issues,
we need to interrogate him in prison.
- Is that so?
- They plan to reinvestigate the case.
Let's go. We're running out of time.
- We'll be back.
- We'll be back, sir.
Next, please.
Here.
You're here again.
He'll probably turn you down.
Please still make the request.
Okay.
You have a visitor, 4821.
Where is my daughter Hyeon-ji?
It was you.
Yes, I'm Hyeon-ji's father.
So give me my daughter back.
There's a rabbit!
- Hello!
- Hello!
Dad, I want some ice cream.
Sure.
- Wait here.
- Okay.
Please call this number
if you see this girl.
You're working so hard.
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
We've met before, haven't we?
Yes. I followed you
and found Mi-ok in the freezer.
So stop changing the subject.
Just tell me where Hyeon-ji is.
Please!
You haven't changed a bit.
DO NOT ENTER
KANG MYEONG-JIN
Why aren't you saying anything?
Tell me what you did to Hyeon-ji!
Your time is up, 4821.
We're not done talking.
I haven't heard his answer!
Hey, where is my daughter?
Just tell me where she is!
You haven't changed at all.
Answer me! You can't just leave like this!
You bastard! What did you do to Hyeon-ji?
Give me my daughter back!
Why did you ask to see me here?
Yeo-na…
I found out where she is.
Where is she?
I don't know
the exact location yet.
I wanted to tell you
after finding out the exact location.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I couldn't find the right time.
Find her no matter what.
I'll talk to Yeo-na in the village.
Hey, Mr. Kim! You should've called first.
No boats are allowed to leave the port
because of the typhoon.
Who is this man?
The man who knows where Yeo-na is.
Manager Wang's henchmen
kidnapped Yeo-na and put her on his boat.
And he drove the boat.
What the hell are you talking about?
Is it true?
No! Hey, Mr. Kim!
You wanted to rent a boat to have a party.
What are you doing?
I'm asking you if it's true.
This guy is a detective.
And the woman you threw overboard that day
was his fiancée.
That's all I know.
Where did you leave her?
Where did you leave her?
Answer me!
Did you order Manager Wang
to kill Jang Myeong-gyu,
Kim Nam-guk, and Choi Yeo-na?
We know you gave the order.
This photo of you and Manager Wang
was captured on the CCTV camera
near Seongmi Park.
The hair you used to run the DNA test.
It's the leftover hair.
DNA TEST RESULTS
And here are the DNA test results.
I get that you tried to not make it
look like a serial murder,
but the police aren't stupid.
And this is the recording file
of your confession to Kim Wook.
There's no way out of this.
Why the hell did you kill
all of these people?
Lee Dong-min, that jerk…
Come to think of it,
he came to the house a few times
with Chairwoman Han.
Why on earth did he do this?
He even killed me and Hyeon-mi.
Why would he do something like this?
That detective was
secretly investigating me
and that housekeeper
witnessed me killing Su-yeon.
No.
At least I thought she did.
Want to know what
the best thing you ever did was?
You survived.
You deserve praise for that alone,
but then you came to us.
So thank you.
He's right.
I also agree.
Same here.
- But still…
- It's that bastard's fault.
He deserves worse than death.
Locking him up won't be enough.
He must be executed.
What a meaningless life.
I can't believe I died
because of some man's greed.
Why did you kill Choi Yeo-na,
Jang Myeong-gyu, and Kim Nam-guk?
You could've just run the test!
You didn't have to kill them!
They enjoyed extra time
that they weren't supposed to have
because they were lucky enough
to survive the fire.
Were you the one who set the fire?
Was that your doing too?
To be precise,
I just paid someone to do it.
Don't let him get to you.
He's not worth it.
You're a complete psychopath.
Giving shares to her grandson
because he's family
and to her employees
because they worked hard…
A company isn't something
like a pizza you share with others.
Thirty years. I've been working
on this for 30 years.
I was about to see
my lifelong dream come true.
I couldn't let anything get in the way.
So I got rid of some obstacles.
Did I do something wrong?
Are people
obstacles to you?
Yes, they were merely obstacles to me.
What? You think I'm insane?
No.
I just have
stronger basic needs than others.
Three people were murdered by Lee Dong-min
in this village alone.
So after killing that many people,
was he able to find the grandchild?
No, not yet.
I'm not even sure if there really is one.
So this woman
was your fiancée?
- You should leave.
- Let go!
- You should leave!
- Let me go!
Right now!
Hey!
Detective Shin caught the culprit
and is interrogating him now.
But as for you…
I'm sure he hasn't found me yet,
seeing as I'm still here.
Detective Shin will find you
no matter what.
The reason why you are able to see us
must be because your mother
is here, right?
I don't know.
Mr. Jang can see the villagers too,
even though Hyeon-ji is not here.
Jun-ho came here on our wedding day.
I was sitting right next to him,
but he couldn't see me.
Wook, I have a favor to ask.
Can you help me meet Jun-ho one last time?
Did you meet him?
What did he say? Where is Hyeon-ji?
He must've felt guilty after meeting you.
His attitude changed a bit.
We've confirmed five victims so far.
We'll have to keep pressing him.
He told me that I haven't changed a bit.
What does that mean?
I thought carefully about what he said.
I think he saw me after he kidnapped
Hyeon-ji at the amusement park
because I went there every single day.
He said that to you?
I'm going to ask him again tomorrow.
He finally met with me today
and started talking,
so maybe he'll tell me where Hyeon-ji is.
Okay.
Let's have some cocktails.
I only know
how to make one or two simple ones.
Have a seat.
I'll make you a delicious cocktail.
Gosh, look at the color.
What's this drink called?
You're the owner of Café Hawaii,
but you don't know Blue Hawaii?
Blue Hawaii?
Yes, it originated in Hawaii.
Cheers.
How does it taste?
How should I put this?
It tastes like Hawaii.
You don't even know Blue Hawaii
when you're the owner of Café Hawaii.
You have blond hair, but you speak like
someone from a period drama.
You've been here for more than 100 years.
Who exactly are you?
What's the use of telling you?
Hey, I thought we were close. Come on.
Besides, do you think
you'll live here forever?
If you insist,
fine.
Here.
What is this?
Why do you guys look so serious?
My real name is Cha Gwon-muk.
I'm the 34th generation
of the Guryeong Cha family.
I was from a rich family,
so I planned to study abroad,
but I gave up.
Why?
People who studied abroad at that time
were considered intellectuals.
There was no point in studying abroad
and applying what I learned
when I didn't have a country.
Then…
Did you fight
for our country's independence?
Are you someone in a textbook?
I'm probably recorded as
the black sheep of the family.
I was surrounded by enemies,
so I had to keep secrets from my family.
I pretended that
I fell into drinking and gambling
so I could get money
to support the liberation army.
And later on,
I even sold our family's land.
Anyway, with the money I collected,
I was able to cross the Amnok River
about five times.
It wasn't much, but I contributed to
the establishment
of the Korean Provisional Government.
It was the best thing
I ever did in my life.
Then how did you end up here?
After we established
the provisional government,
Imperial Japan's oppression worsened.
While crossing the Amnok River
the following year,
I ran into a Japanese soldier.
When I woke up,
I found myself there.
At first, I thought I was caught
by a Japanese soldier.
And then I realized
this place wasn't for the living.
That's how I started a café here
and learned how to live as a dead person.
Why did it have to be the Amnok River?
- There's no way for me to go there.
- How ironic.
We were once so desperate
to protect our country,
but now we're split in half.
I have a lot to say
when I meet my comrades.
When you were attacked by
the Imperial Japanese army,
were there other
independence activists with you?
They got shot too.
Then why aren't they here?
If their bodies weren't found…
I'm the only one who came here.
But…
I don't think this is
the only place for the dead.
You mean there's
another village like this one?
I can't be sure.
But…
I just think there might be.
I've pondered many questions
for the past 100 years.
I thought you were just
an immature guy in your twenties.
Your blond hair totally fooled me.
My hair?
About seven to eight years ago,
a hairdresser from Apgujeong came
and dyed my hair.
It looked good on me,
so I've kept it this way.
What do you think?
Don't I look like one
of those surfers in Hawaii?
Then what about Hawaii?
You have nothing to do with Hawaii?
No.
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
My stuff…
Give them back to me.
You crazy punk. How are they yours?
They belong to the victims.
They're mine.
They're my treasure!
Give them back to me, please!
I can't live without these.
I don't care if I have to rot in jail.
So please just…
Please give me back my treasure!
I'm begging you.
Everything was taken…
It's all over.
I've got nothing left.
What? Who died?
Sir…
You can't visit Kang Myeong-jin.
Why not?
He died this morning.
What? Then…
Wait…
What about my daughter, Hyeon-ji?
Sir!
Sir, are you all right? Sir.
Sir, are you okay? Sir, wake up!
Call an ambulance!
The coast guard will call us
once they can search the waters.
When? The storm is already gone.
If they don't start searching,
I'll just get on a boat myself.
Are you going to dive into the water too?
Get yourself together, Jun-ho!
What are you doing here?
Yeo-na asked me to bring you
to her.
Did Yeo-na really ask you
to bring me here?
Yes. How many times do I have to tell you?
Where is she? Where is Yeo-na?
Over there.
I brought him.
Thank you, Wook.
What are you doing?
Is Yeo-na really here?
Yeo-na is right here standing next to you
in a white dress with her hair tied back.
The white dress…
I bought it for her.
He bought it for me when he proposed.
Did you buy it for her when you proposed?
You look worse today
than when I saw you on our wedding day.
She says you look worse today than
on your wedding day.
She was with me then as well?
She was sitting beside you that day.
Tell him that
I've been doing well since that day.
She says she's been doing well
since she last saw you.
If Yeo-na really is here,
and if she really is doing fine
like you said,
what do I have to do
to keep talking to her like this?
Will she always be here
if I don't find her body?
That's not possible.
You have to do your job.
That's what Yeo-na wants.
Then what about me?
What I want is
to be with Yeo-na.
I hate waking up every morning.
I can't even dream of a future.
What do I do now?
Yeo-na.
Are you listening?
Why can't I see you when he can?
I miss you.
Jun-ho…
Please help me…
What do I have to do to be with Yeo-na?
You must keep your promise.
You promised that you would
find me no matter what.
She wants you to keep your promise.
She wants you to find her no matter what.
My whole life,
I never had anyone to call my own.
You were the only one who cared for me.
Even when I threw a fit,
even when your mother
didn't approve of me,
you never got swayed.
I want you to know that I was happy.
I also
don't want you to forget me too soon.
So find me,
mourn for me,
and then
forget it all…
Mr. Jang.
What happened?
Let's talk outside.
Kang Myeong-jin committed suicide?
He refused to tell Mr. Jang
where Hyeon-ji was until the end.
Gosh…
My heart breaks for Mr. Jang.
PERSONAL PROFILE
KANG MYEONG-JIN
Hey.
Where did Kang Myeong-jin
live before he enlisted?
Jihyeon-dong, Janghyeon-go.
Look into his parents, grandparents,
cousins, and everyone related to him.
Yes, sir.
We got the location, but we won't know
for sure until we go in the water.
It might've been swept away
by the tides. Let's go.
I'll go in with you.
I know the bag Captain Kang mentioned.
I'll be careful not to get in the way.
Stay here.
You'll be helping them this way.
- Please do your best.
- Okay.
- You ready?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- I'm relying on you.
YEO-NA! I'M ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
I LOVE YOU. I'll DO BETTER.
You're early today.
I had a good night's sleep for once,
so I woke early.
It tastes so good.
It tastes out of this world.
Of course.
You can only taste it when you're dead.
Your fiancé must have found you.
Jun-ho
made me a promise.
Goodbye.
CHOI YEO-NA, AGE 29
DIED JUNE 8TH, 2020
How suffocating it must have been
under the deep, dark sea.
Goodbye.
Goodbye,
Yeo-na.
How much longer, Jong-a?
It's almost done.
I'm so busy now that
the business is doing well.
Kang Dae-seong stopped coming here
once he began recording his album.
Right. Mr. Jang.
The car with
the license plate number 35E 0829.
Did you find it?
Yes. It's a car that was released
in 2015 and the owner hasn't changed.
Here.
The owner's name, address,
and phone number.
This hit-and-run killer.
- How do we catch him?
- I'm going to report it.
KIM GEON-HEE
321-2 SEONCHINDAN-DONG, 35E 0829
Done. Let's go.
You came.
Since you kept your promise,
I'm sure Yeo-na left with a light heart.
Thomas said…
Thomas…
A man who was with Yeo-na told me
that she smiled as she said goodbye.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I was able to find Yeo-na.
I didn't do anything.
You did all the work.
You came.
I'm…
Sorry.
I was horrible toward Yeo-na.
Poor Yeo-na.
My goodness…
My eyes are bloodshot
because I couldn't get any sleep.
Wait.
Hey, Mr. Jang.
What brings you here?
You probably don't know Choi Yeo-na.
Are you friends with Detective Shin?
- Well?
- It's…
I asked him to come with me.
Mr. Jang hasn't been eating well lately,
so I asked him out for a bowl
of spicy beef soup.
That's why I brought him.
You came all the way to a funeral
for a bowl of spicy beef soup?
Right. I'm glad you came.
You can get some fresh air and all.
That reminds me,
I looked into every relative
Kang Myeong-jin has.
Apparently, his maternal family's
grave site is near Duon-ri.
We're going to start
searching the area soon.
Then is Hyeon-ji…
I'm sorry.
Due to my greed,
many people lost their lives.
It's not your fault, ma'am.
Lee Dong-min is to blame.
How beautiful.
What do you think, Mom?
Does it look good on me?
KIM GEON-HEE
321-2 SEONCHINDAN-DONG, 35E 0829
- What is this? Who is he?
- I think he's a hit-and-run killer.
You know I attend
all the meetings for missing children.
Maybe you've heard of him.
His name is Beom-su.
He's a boy with a developmental disability
who disappeared three years ago.
Anyway, after I met
and talked to Beom-su's parents,
I did some research.
It sounded like
he was the victim
of a hit-and-run accident.
You should go and meet Beom-su's parents.
It definitely smells fishy.
What do you mean?
I mean, you.
Last month, we found a skeleton
at the construction site
of Muchang Highway.
Do you know who that was?
The person you mentioned ten years ago.
You said his wife could've killed him
because of monetary compensation.
Don't you remember?
I said that? I don't remember.
You know Park Byeong-eun.
Recently, we arrested his wife.
She plotted the murder with her lover,
killed her husband, and buried him.
They found the skeleton
as the highway was being built.
And with the flash drive you gave me,
we caught Jang-mi's killer.
Some guy asked me to give it to you.
- That's right. Some guy.
- Yes.
But I was never able
to find the guy you mentioned
after going through
all of the CCTV footage.
CCTV footage is not reliable.
There are so many blind spots.
I'll go and meet the parents.
I can already tell
that he's a hit-and-run killer.
Right? A hit-and-run killer.
Gosh, I was so scared!
Detective Baek is like a fox!
He's so smart!
Of course he is.
He's been a cop for so long.
He's always had a good hunch
ever since he was a rookie.
Well, you turned me into a crazy guy
and ignored me, Mr. Jang.
Come to think of it,
you're like a sly fox.
I'm nothing compared
to you and your nosiness.
Thanks to you both, Yeo-na finally left
and Beom-su will be able
to get justice too.
The same goes for Detective Park
and Jun-su's mom,
since their killer was caught.
The expired statute
of limitations is one thing,
but I'm not sure if they can find
abandoned bodies from 27 years ago.
My wife and I don't really expect much.
We'll just live happily ever after
with you, Thomas.
I'm going to get going.
Live happily ever after?
Do you think Wook will leave
his mom here forever?
Gosh, how can you be so dense?
You shouldn't have said that.
Are you sure you're a cop?
Be careful!
- Hey.
- Yes.
Did you eat?
Yes, I ate.
Thanks to Mr. Jang,
I had a rustic, organic meal.
I'm glad to hear that.
You used to be a picky eater
when you were young.
You didn't eat carrots, beans,
or vegetables, but you liked meat.
Mr. Jang has been feeding me
only vegetables.
Right.
Any news about Hyeon-ji?
Are the police still looking for her?
The culprit's maternal family's
grave site is nearby.
I think they'll find her soon.
I really hope they do.
A few days ago, Yeo-na said
the reason why I see the dead
is because you're here.
But Hyeon-ji isn't here.
I have a feeling that Hyeon-ji
is around here.
Big bro!
You're in a great mood.
Did something good happen?
Yes! I'm going to go meet my mom,
dad, and grandma!
What do you mean?
It means…
It means…
Goodbye.
My dear Beom-su.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Good for him.
I'm glad he left.
You'll also leave one day, Mom.
I want to stay here
with you for as long as I can.
No.
I don't want you to get tied down here.
I just want you to live
a normal life like others.
Jun-su must be bored since Beom-su left.
I'll find Jun-su.
I'm really good at finding people.
Remember how I found Ha-neul?
I'm doing this because
of my sense of justice.
That's because you take after me.
I really can't stand injustice.
Didn't Mr. Jang and Thomas
tell you about it?
Well, Thomas did.
He said you have a fiery temperament
and that you jump to action.
What?
Gosh.
Now I finally understand
where I get my temper from.
My goodness.
Come over for dinner
with Mr. Jang tonight.
Detective Park always
does all the cooking.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that
we all enjoy the food.
Have a seat.
Thank you for coming to the funeral.
We have handed over
Lee Dong-min to the prosecutors.
We have enough evidence of his crimes,
so he'll probably spend
the rest of his life in prison.
After killing all of those people,
I can't believe that's
all the punishment he'll get…
Lee Dong-min is a sociopath.
Being in a situation
where he has no control…
Might be more excruciating than death.
He must pay for what he did.
Anyway,
I asked you to come to ask you a question.
About the necklace that
your fiancée was wearing…
I gave it to her when I proposed.
My mom gave it to me when I was young.
I kept it to give it to someone I love.
Do you mind if I take a look at it?
If there's an "S"…
How do you know about that?
This is the birthstone necklace
I bought for Su-yeon
on her 20th birthday.
Are you saying I'm your grandson?
But I have a mother…
There's no need to rush.
You can take your time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Su-yeon…
Your birth mother gave it to me.
I went to the church
after getting a call saying
they had an orphan there.
As soon as I held the baby,
the baby held onto my finger
and wouldn't let go.
He wasn't even 100 days old,
but there was a twinkle in his eyes.
Your dad also said we should adopt you
the moment he laid eyes on you.
I told the director
of the children's home the next day,
dropped by the district office,
and brought you home.
You never told me I was adopted.
My birth was registered
on my family register.
I was afraid that you might be bullied
at school or hurt if I told you the truth.
I meant to tell you someday.
After the children's home burned down,
and your dad passed away,
I didn't have a chance to tell you.
Still,
you should have told me
when Yeo-na disappeared.
How could I, when all the kids
from that children's home died?
If those guys were really after you,
I'd be putting you in danger.
How could I possibly tell you?
Every time I heard the door,
I'd wonder if you were home.
If you weren't home the next day,
I'd wonder if you were okay.
I've been so anxious all this time.
Before I read the diary in your room,
I didn't realize your birth mother was
Chairwoman Han's daughter.
In the end,
Yeo-na died
because of me.
Jang Myeong-gyu,
Kim Nam-guk,
and the kids who died in the fire…
They all died because of me.
Because of me…
So many lives were lost.
Jun-ho.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not your fault.
You were all children.
The adults are at fault.
I didn't want my kid to get hurt,
so I kept silent when other kids
got hurt instead. It's all my fault…
Yeo-na…
Suffocated to death
in the cold waters of the ocean
because of me.
I don't even deserve to breathe.
Mom, I don't deserve to breathe…
I'm sorry. You did nothing wrong, Jun-ho.
It's all my fault.
Dig a little deeper. Over There.
Okay, sir.
Mr. Jang!
What is it this time?
Why can't you stay still
for even a second?
You must come with me now.
The police are here to search the area!
Why?
Come on, hurry!
What are they looking for?
Over here!
- Where?
- Let's go, sir.
Hey, where is it?
Over here, sir!
Hey, Detective Baek.
Can you let me in for a second?
You can't go inside now.
Come on. It won't take long.
Damn it. There's more than one.
Hey, when will Forensics get here?
Detective Baek!
Yes, it's me!
Keep digging.
- Okay.
- Yes, sir.
See? I told you. You can let me in.
When will you be able
to identify the bodies?
We're going to send them
to the National Forensic Service.
There are at least three to four victims.
I'll call you as soon
as I get the results.
Okay.
They found
my Hyeon-ji.
What do you mean?
I don't see the village.
I can't see anything.
I heard they found Hyeon-ji!
Where was she?
In the woods.
I really hoped that
she would be alive somewhere.
What about Mr. Jang? Where is he?
He can't see the village anymore.
Why not?
If I had known sooner,
I would have said goodbye.
He found Hyeon-ji.
That's why he can't see
this place anymore.
Good for him.
He lived with the dead
for more than ten years.
Now that he has found Hyeon-ji,
he needs to live his own life.
I feel so sorry for Mr. Jang.
Then if you find your mom's body,
will you stop seeing the village too?
I think so.
We should hurry then.
We must find all of them.
Yes, we must.
You're right.
I promised to find Jun-su too.
We must find them.
Honey.
I promised to come with Hyeon-ji.
I'm sorry that
I brought her in this state.
OH YUN-GYEONG, JANG HYEON-JI
At least now,
all three of us are together.
Hyeon-ji.
You're not scared now that
you're with Mom, right?
Honey. Be kind to Hyeon-ji
and take good care of her.
Don't hate your mother too much.
She's a wonderful person who spent
her whole life caring for you.
I know.
That's what makes me even more upset.
My Su-yeon
and your mother…
They both tried to protect their child.
We still have the time
to resent them and forgive them.
Su-yeon was able
to protect her little child
when she was in so much pain.
But…
I couldn't protect my child.
I failed at being a good mother,
but I want to give you everything
since Su-yeon risked
her life protecting you.
You've already given me everything.
I've found my grandmother,
so I don't need anything else.
But I'll try to visit you more often
with my mom.
Sure.
Thank you.
Hey.
What brings you here?
Yeo-na is gone now.
It's the same for me
back then and now.
I still don't see anything.
Kim Hyeon-mi and Park Yeong-ho.
I can't seem to track them down.
I know. I'm still looking for them too.
Choiseung Construction built
an apartment 27 years ago.
Lee Dong-min bribed
the person in charge of
overseeing the foundation work.
That's probably where
he buried the bodies.
The building will be torn down next week
for redevelopment,
so I'm going to go check it out.
Is today the day?
Yes, so I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Sure. I'll do anything for you.
Once my mom and Detective Park disappear,
promise me you'll
take good care of Jun-su.
I'm going to find Jun-su's body,
so just until then.
Okay, I'll do that.
And you…
Don't mind me.
Someone must look after the village.
Thank you for everything.
I mean it.
I should be the one to thank you.
Thanks to you,
I'm able to live here in Korea.
Here you are.
A cup of iced America no
with an extra shot.
Gosh, I love this coffee.
Thank you.
- He lost again.
- Goodness. Why do I keep losing?
Jun-su, want to play one more round?
You always lose, Dad.
Let's do it one more time.
I think your top is better.
You wrote in your letter
that you'd come back.
Thank you for keeping your word.
Thank you for coming into my life again.
Wook.
I've…
Missed you a lot over the years.
Me too.
I've missed you a lot.
Thank you for growing up
to be such a fine young man.
Mom…
I love you, Wook.
Me too.
Goodbye.
At least you got to say goodbye to Thomas.
I couldn't even say goodbye
because it all happened so quickly.
Mr. Jang, do you remember?
The detectives treated me like a lunatic
when I said I saw Ha-neul over there.
Of course I do. I joined in on them too.
But now,
I understand how the detectives
must have felt.
I insisted there was a village
in those woods.
I know.
What are you doing?
Even if I can't see them, they can see me.
I'm saying goodbye to Thomas.
You should wave in that direction.
Café Hawaii is over there.
I lived here for over a decade.
I know this place better than you.
It's over there!
It's that way! I put a mark there!
- What?
- Look over there.
- I'm right.
- You're not Sunshine Wook.
You're Stubborn Wook, you brat.
- It's over there!
- I'm not just trying to prove a point.
- That's where it is!
- Ten years...
I put a mark there
every time I went by that place.
Again, I lived here for over ten years.
I traced the IP address and it's the house
of the bus driver you mentioned last time.
Then Kim Geon-u killed Jun-su.
No.
It was someone else from that house.
I knew it.
Great work, Jong-a.
You've gotten much better.
It seems like just yesterday
you got scammed.
You got scammed?
No. I don't know
what you're talking about.
Yes, you were.
Mom, did you send the money?
Okay. I'll handle it.
Yoo Yeong-min.
You shouldn't do that.
Who are you?
You're getting involved again.
Forget who I am. Let me see that first.
The name on the paper
is different from the name
on the memo, right?
Where? Let me see.
You're right. The names are different.
The realtor said he got
a power of attorney.
Exactly. He got a power of attorney,
not the deed.
If you signed a lease,
you should send the money to the landlord.
Why are you sending it to someone else?
You look smart, but you're not.
Consider yourself lucky today.
I have this weird sense of justice,
so I can't ignore someone in need.
Right. That happened.
I got scammed.
I have something for you.
What is it?
Ta-da!
Now you're one of the four musketeers.
Four musketeers?
The three of us plus Nam-guk.
Hence, the four musketeers.
No, I'm out. This is too much work for me.
You can't bail on us now.
Once you become part of our group,
you're stuck with us for life.
Give me your hand.
- Gosh.
- Come on.
I had this custom-made.
You've got nothing to do
at home by yourself.
You can take care of things here
and help us when we get work.
We'll eat together
and have fun together too.
You can't force me to do that.
Like this.
- Welcome to the four musketeers.
- It doesn't come off easily.
Hello, I'm Shin Jun-ho.
Today, I was officially transferred
to the Missing Persons Team.
I look forward to working with you.
We've been working together already.
Why are you making an announcement?
This is your seat.
Just act as you usually do.
But our team barely gets results.
Are you sure about this?
You don't seem to get it.
The police are always a step behind when
investigating a robbery or a homicide
because they're chasing the criminal
after the crime has taken place.
But…
Missing persons cases are always ongoing.
We're a team that finds people.
Must we go this far?
The guy who killed Jun-su
is going to move out today!
The evidence is saved on his computer.
- We must get it.
- Okay.
Wait. Be quiet.
We received some good news
from the site where the exhumation
of fallen Korean War soldiers
is taking place.
According to North and South Korea's
KIA Recovery and Identification Agency,
they found the remains of seven people
who are presumed to be
independence activists
near the Amnok River
along with their clothes and belongings.
The skeletons of these
presumed independence activists
were found downstream of the Amnok River.
- The Ministry of National Defense…
- Gosh, look. It's Thomas.
One moment.
Do you think they'll find Thomas
under all that dirt?
Anyway, one of them is Thomas, right?
I really hope they find him.
I hope so too.
The remains will soon be sent to the
KIA Recovery and Identification Agency
for a detailed examination
and DNA analysis…
I'm so glad Jun-su left,
especially since Thomas is gone now.
You're right.
Who's going to look after the village now?
I'm sure someone new will come along.
Who was that?
Who threw this ball?
Where did it come from?
Please give it back. It's mine.
There are a lot of cars passing by here.
It's dangerous.
You need to be careful.
- Be careful, okay?
- Thank you.
Girls these days are good at soccer.
Jong-a is good too.
- Really?
- She's good at everything.
That girl looks so familiar.
Where have I seen her?
Let's go. We're late. Come on.
Guys!
I just saw Hyeon-ji's dad.
Really? Hyeon-ji's dad?
- Yes.
- Where?
Over there.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
MISSING: THE OTHER SIDE
Subtitle translation by: Jae-won Lee
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
I'll try to buy some time,
but it'll only be a few minutes.
How unfair.
He took 27 years from me,
and all I get is a few minutes?
You've waited 27 years for this moment.
Hello. I'm Detective Shin Jun-ho.
- Did you have dinner?
- No.
They didn't even let you eat?
Go and have some dinner.
WOOK
RECORD CALL
Hurry.
Do you know Kim Su-yeon?
Of course I do.
You killed Kim Su-yeon.
I saw everything.
You were in a gray suit, weren't you?
What were you doing there?
My mom was the chairwoman's housekeeper.
So I would often spend time there.
I was there
the day you killed Aunt Su-yeon too.
No wonder you grew up ignorant.
You grew up without a mother.
What did you just say?
How do you know I grew up without a mom?
Because I killed her.
Su-yeon.
Your mom.
The three from the children's home
and Han Sang-gil.
I killed all of them.
If you hadn't made a sound that day,
I wouldn't have killed the housekeeper.
Do you understand?
Your mom died because of you.
I should rip his mouth open.
Why did you kill my mom?
Why?
Let go! Let go of him!
Goodness!
Gosh, Wook! You can't do this!
- No!
- Hurry!
Get him out of here now!
What did you do to Choi Yeo-na?
What did you do to her, you bastard?
Tell me!
- You can't do this, sir.
- Let go!
Were you here all night long?
I'm sorry that I shouted at you
and stormed out yesterday.
I yelled at you many more times
than you did.
It's okay.
I'm sorry
for resenting you
and hating you
all these years.
I would've done the same.
If my mom had disappeared
without a word when I was seven,
I would've been scared.
And if she never came back for me
no matter how long I waited,
I would've hated her too.
- Still, it's all my fault…
- Wook.
Do you remember Tan?
The black dog that lived on our block.
You called him Tan
because he was as black as a briquette.
Because you felt sorry for the stray dog,
you even saved the snacks
you got from preschool to give to Tan.
That's when I realized that you, Wook,
would brighten the world,
just like your name.
You wouldn't ignore people
in need of help.
You're someone that the world needs.
I'm so relieved
that I'm here instead of you.
I shouldn't have taken you to that house.
I left you alone when you were just seven…
In the end,
even though I said I'd come back for you,
I couldn't keep my promise.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't keep my word.
I'm sorry.
Kang Myeong-jin, who was arrested
for killing a woman in her 30s last June,
is said to have committed more crimes.
- During their recent investigation…
- Sir. Please have a look.
The police found several lost items
that are assumed to belong to the victims.
- After requesting a forensic analysis…
- Goodness.
Hey, bring that jerk here.
Due to security issues,
we need to interrogate him in prison.
- Is that so?
- They plan to reinvestigate the case.
Let's go. We're running out of time.
- We'll be back.
- We'll be back, sir.
Next, please.
Here.
You're here again.
He'll probably turn you down.
Please still make the request.
Okay.
You have a visitor, 4821.
Where is my daughter Hyeon-ji?
It was you.
Yes, I'm Hyeon-ji's father.
So give me my daughter back.
There's a rabbit!
- Hello!
- Hello!
Dad, I want some ice cream.
Sure.
- Wait here.
- Okay.
Please call this number
if you see this girl.
You're working so hard.
MISSING: JANG HYEON-JI
We've met before, haven't we?
Yes. I followed you
and found Mi-ok in the freezer.
So stop changing the subject.
Just tell me where Hyeon-ji is.
Please!
You haven't changed a bit.
DO NOT ENTER
KANG MYEONG-JIN
Why aren't you saying anything?
Tell me what you did to Hyeon-ji!
Your time is up, 4821.
We're not done talking.
I haven't heard his answer!
Hey, where is my daughter?
Just tell me where she is!
You haven't changed at all.
Answer me! You can't just leave like this!
You bastard! What did you do to Hyeon-ji?
Give me my daughter back!
Why did you ask to see me here?
Yeo-na…
I found out where she is.
Where is she?
I don't know
the exact location yet.
I wanted to tell you
after finding out the exact location.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I couldn't find the right time.
Find her no matter what.
I'll talk to Yeo-na in the village.
Hey, Mr. Kim! You should've called first.
No boats are allowed to leave the port
because of the typhoon.
Who is this man?
The man who knows where Yeo-na is.
Manager Wang's henchmen
kidnapped Yeo-na and put her on his boat.
And he drove the boat.
What the hell are you talking about?
Is it true?
No! Hey, Mr. Kim!
You wanted to rent a boat to have a party.
What are you doing?
I'm asking you if it's true.
This guy is a detective.
And the woman you threw overboard that day
was his fiancée.
That's all I know.
Where did you leave her?
Where did you leave her?
Answer me!
Did you order Manager Wang
to kill Jang Myeong-gyu,
Kim Nam-guk, and Choi Yeo-na?
We know you gave the order.
This photo of you and Manager Wang
was captured on the CCTV camera
near Seongmi Park.
The hair you used to run the DNA test.
It's the leftover hair.
DNA TEST RESULTS
And here are the DNA test results.
I get that you tried to not make it
look like a serial murder,
but the police aren't stupid.
And this is the recording file
of your confession to Kim Wook.
There's no way out of this.
Why the hell did you kill
all of these people?
Lee Dong-min, that jerk…
Come to think of it,
he came to the house a few times
with Chairwoman Han.
Why on earth did he do this?
He even killed me and Hyeon-mi.
Why would he do something like this?
That detective was
secretly investigating me
and that housekeeper
witnessed me killing Su-yeon.
No.
At least I thought she did.
Want to know what
the best thing you ever did was?
You survived.
You deserve praise for that alone,
but then you came to us.
So thank you.
He's right.
I also agree.
Same here.
- But still…
- It's that bastard's fault.
He deserves worse than death.
Locking him up won't be enough.
He must be executed.
What a meaningless life.
I can't believe I died
because of some man's greed.
Why did you kill Choi Yeo-na,
Jang Myeong-gyu, and Kim Nam-guk?
You could've just run the test!
You didn't have to kill them!
They enjoyed extra time
that they weren't supposed to have
because they were lucky enough
to survive the fire.
Were you the one who set the fire?
Was that your doing too?
To be precise,
I just paid someone to do it.
Don't let him get to you.
He's not worth it.
You're a complete psychopath.
Giving shares to her grandson
because he's family
and to her employees
because they worked hard…
A company isn't something
like a pizza you share with others.
Thirty years. I've been working
on this for 30 years.
I was about to see
my lifelong dream come true.
I couldn't let anything get in the way.
So I got rid of some obstacles.
Did I do something wrong?
Are people
obstacles to you?
Yes, they were merely obstacles to me.
What? You think I'm insane?
No.
I just have
stronger basic needs than others.
Three people were murdered by Lee Dong-min
in this village alone.
So after killing that many people,
was he able to find the grandchild?
No, not yet.
I'm not even sure if there really is one.
So this woman
was your fiancée?
- You should leave.
- Let go!
- You should leave!
- Let me go!
Right now!
Hey!
Detective Shin caught the culprit
and is interrogating him now.
But as for you…
I'm sure he hasn't found me yet,
seeing as I'm still here.
Detective Shin will find you
no matter what.
The reason why you are able to see us
must be because your mother
is here, right?
I don't know.
Mr. Jang can see the villagers too,
even though Hyeon-ji is not here.
Jun-ho came here on our wedding day.
I was sitting right next to him,
but he couldn't see me.
Wook, I have a favor to ask.
Can you help me meet Jun-ho one last time?
Did you meet him?
What did he say? Where is Hyeon-ji?
He must've felt guilty after meeting you.
His attitude changed a bit.
We've confirmed five victims so far.
We'll have to keep pressing him.
He told me that I haven't changed a bit.
What does that mean?
I thought carefully about what he said.
I think he saw me after he kidnapped
Hyeon-ji at the amusement park
because I went there every single day.
He said that to you?
I'm going to ask him again tomorrow.
He finally met with me today
and started talking,
so maybe he'll tell me where Hyeon-ji is.
Okay.
Let's have some cocktails.
I only know
how to make one or two simple ones.
Have a seat.
I'll make you a delicious cocktail.
Gosh, look at the color.
What's this drink called?
You're the owner of Café Hawaii,
but you don't know Blue Hawaii?
Blue Hawaii?
Yes, it originated in Hawaii.
Cheers.
How does it taste?
How should I put this?
It tastes like Hawaii.
You don't even know Blue Hawaii
when you're the owner of Café Hawaii.
You have blond hair, but you speak like
someone from a period drama.
You've been here for more than 100 years.
Who exactly are you?
What's the use of telling you?
Hey, I thought we were close. Come on.
Besides, do you think
you'll live here forever?
If you insist,
fine.
Here.
What is this?
Why do you guys look so serious?
My real name is Cha Gwon-muk.
I'm the 34th generation
of the Guryeong Cha family.
I was from a rich family,
so I planned to study abroad,
but I gave up.
Why?
People who studied abroad at that time
were considered intellectuals.
There was no point in studying abroad
and applying what I learned
when I didn't have a country.
Then…
Did you fight
for our country's independence?
Are you someone in a textbook?
I'm probably recorded as
the black sheep of the family.
I was surrounded by enemies,
so I had to keep secrets from my family.
I pretended that
I fell into drinking and gambling
so I could get money
to support the liberation army.
And later on,
I even sold our family's land.
Anyway, with the money I collected,
I was able to cross the Amnok River
about five times.
It wasn't much, but I contributed to
the establishment
of the Korean Provisional Government.
It was the best thing
I ever did in my life.
Then how did you end up here?
After we established
the provisional government,
Imperial Japan's oppression worsened.
While crossing the Amnok River
the following year,
I ran into a Japanese soldier.
When I woke up,
I found myself there.
At first, I thought I was caught
by a Japanese soldier.
And then I realized
this place wasn't for the living.
That's how I started a café here
and learned how to live as a dead person.
Why did it have to be the Amnok River?
- There's no way for me to go there.
- How ironic.
We were once so desperate
to protect our country,
but now we're split in half.
I have a lot to say
when I meet my comrades.
When you were attacked by
the Imperial Japanese army,
were there other
independence activists with you?
They got shot too.
Then why aren't they here?
If their bodies weren't found…
I'm the only one who came here.
But…
I don't think this is
the only place for the dead.
You mean there's
another village like this one?
I can't be sure.
But…
I just think there might be.
I've pondered many questions
for the past 100 years.
I thought you were just
an immature guy in your twenties.
Your blond hair totally fooled me.
My hair?
About seven to eight years ago,
a hairdresser from Apgujeong came
and dyed my hair.
It looked good on me,
so I've kept it this way.
What do you think?
Don't I look like one
of those surfers in Hawaii?
Then what about Hawaii?
You have nothing to do with Hawaii?
No.
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
My stuff…
Give them back to me.
You crazy punk. How are they yours?
They belong to the victims.
They're mine.
They're my treasure!
Give them back to me, please!
I can't live without these.
I don't care if I have to rot in jail.
So please just…
Please give me back my treasure!
I'm begging you.
Everything was taken…
It's all over.
I've got nothing left.
What? Who died?
Sir…
You can't visit Kang Myeong-jin.
Why not?
He died this morning.
What? Then…
Wait…
What about my daughter, Hyeon-ji?
Sir!
Sir, are you all right? Sir.
Sir, are you okay? Sir, wake up!
Call an ambulance!
The coast guard will call us
once they can search the waters.
When? The storm is already gone.
If they don't start searching,
I'll just get on a boat myself.
Are you going to dive into the water too?
Get yourself together, Jun-ho!
What are you doing here?
Yeo-na asked me to bring you
to her.
Did Yeo-na really ask you
to bring me here?
Yes. How many times do I have to tell you?
Where is she? Where is Yeo-na?
Over there.
I brought him.
Thank you, Wook.
What are you doing?
Is Yeo-na really here?
Yeo-na is right here standing next to you
in a white dress with her hair tied back.
The white dress…
I bought it for her.
He bought it for me when he proposed.
Did you buy it for her when you proposed?
You look worse today
than when I saw you on our wedding day.
She says you look worse today than
on your wedding day.
She was with me then as well?
She was sitting beside you that day.
Tell him that
I've been doing well since that day.
She says she's been doing well
since she last saw you.
If Yeo-na really is here,
and if she really is doing fine
like you said,
what do I have to do
to keep talking to her like this?
Will she always be here
if I don't find her body?
That's not possible.
You have to do your job.
That's what Yeo-na wants.
Then what about me?
What I want is
to be with Yeo-na.
I hate waking up every morning.
I can't even dream of a future.
What do I do now?
Yeo-na.
Are you listening?
Why can't I see you when he can?
I miss you.
Jun-ho…
Please help me…
What do I have to do to be with Yeo-na?
You must keep your promise.
You promised that you would
find me no matter what.
She wants you to keep your promise.
She wants you to find her no matter what.
My whole life,
I never had anyone to call my own.
You were the only one who cared for me.
Even when I threw a fit,
even when your mother
didn't approve of me,
you never got swayed.
I want you to know that I was happy.
I also
don't want you to forget me too soon.
So find me,
mourn for me,
and then
forget it all…
Mr. Jang.
What happened?
Let's talk outside.
Kang Myeong-jin committed suicide?
He refused to tell Mr. Jang
where Hyeon-ji was until the end.
Gosh…
My heart breaks for Mr. Jang.
PERSONAL PROFILE
KANG MYEONG-JIN
Hey.
Where did Kang Myeong-jin
live before he enlisted?
Jihyeon-dong, Janghyeon-go.
Look into his parents, grandparents,
cousins, and everyone related to him.
Yes, sir.
We got the location, but we won't know
for sure until we go in the water.
It might've been swept away
by the tides. Let's go.
I'll go in with you.
I know the bag Captain Kang mentioned.
I'll be careful not to get in the way.
Stay here.
You'll be helping them this way.
- Please do your best.
- Okay.
- You ready?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- I'm relying on you.
YEO-NA! I'M ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
I LOVE YOU. I'll DO BETTER.
You're early today.
I had a good night's sleep for once,
so I woke early.
It tastes so good.
It tastes out of this world.
Of course.
You can only taste it when you're dead.
Your fiancé must have found you.
Jun-ho
made me a promise.
Goodbye.
CHOI YEO-NA, AGE 29
DIED JUNE 8TH, 2020
How suffocating it must have been
under the deep, dark sea.
Goodbye.
Goodbye,
Yeo-na.
How much longer, Jong-a?
It's almost done.
I'm so busy now that
the business is doing well.
Kang Dae-seong stopped coming here
once he began recording his album.
Right. Mr. Jang.
The car with
the license plate number 35E 0829.
Did you find it?
Yes. It's a car that was released
in 2015 and the owner hasn't changed.
Here.
The owner's name, address,
and phone number.
This hit-and-run killer.
- How do we catch him?
- I'm going to report it.
KIM GEON-HEE
321-2 SEONCHINDAN-DONG, 35E 0829
Done. Let's go.
You came.
Since you kept your promise,
I'm sure Yeo-na left with a light heart.
Thomas said…
Thomas…
A man who was with Yeo-na told me
that she smiled as she said goodbye.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I was able to find Yeo-na.
I didn't do anything.
You did all the work.
You came.
I'm…
Sorry.
I was horrible toward Yeo-na.
Poor Yeo-na.
My goodness…
My eyes are bloodshot
because I couldn't get any sleep.
Wait.
Hey, Mr. Jang.
What brings you here?
You probably don't know Choi Yeo-na.
Are you friends with Detective Shin?
- Well?
- It's…
I asked him to come with me.
Mr. Jang hasn't been eating well lately,
so I asked him out for a bowl
of spicy beef soup.
That's why I brought him.
You came all the way to a funeral
for a bowl of spicy beef soup?
Right. I'm glad you came.
You can get some fresh air and all.
That reminds me,
I looked into every relative
Kang Myeong-jin has.
Apparently, his maternal family's
grave site is near Duon-ri.
We're going to start
searching the area soon.
Then is Hyeon-ji…
I'm sorry.
Due to my greed,
many people lost their lives.
It's not your fault, ma'am.
Lee Dong-min is to blame.
How beautiful.
What do you think, Mom?
Does it look good on me?
KIM GEON-HEE
321-2 SEONCHINDAN-DONG, 35E 0829
- What is this? Who is he?
- I think he's a hit-and-run killer.
You know I attend
all the meetings for missing children.
Maybe you've heard of him.
His name is Beom-su.
He's a boy with a developmental disability
who disappeared three years ago.
Anyway, after I met
and talked to Beom-su's parents,
I did some research.
It sounded like
he was the victim
of a hit-and-run accident.
You should go and meet Beom-su's parents.
It definitely smells fishy.
What do you mean?
I mean, you.
Last month, we found a skeleton
at the construction site
of Muchang Highway.
Do you know who that was?
The person you mentioned ten years ago.
You said his wife could've killed him
because of monetary compensation.
Don't you remember?
I said that? I don't remember.
You know Park Byeong-eun.
Recently, we arrested his wife.
She plotted the murder with her lover,
killed her husband, and buried him.
They found the skeleton
as the highway was being built.
And with the flash drive you gave me,
we caught Jang-mi's killer.
Some guy asked me to give it to you.
- That's right. Some guy.
- Yes.
But I was never able
to find the guy you mentioned
after going through
all of the CCTV footage.
CCTV footage is not reliable.
There are so many blind spots.
I'll go and meet the parents.
I can already tell
that he's a hit-and-run killer.
Right? A hit-and-run killer.
Gosh, I was so scared!
Detective Baek is like a fox!
He's so smart!
Of course he is.
He's been a cop for so long.
He's always had a good hunch
ever since he was a rookie.
Well, you turned me into a crazy guy
and ignored me, Mr. Jang.
Come to think of it,
you're like a sly fox.
I'm nothing compared
to you and your nosiness.
Thanks to you both, Yeo-na finally left
and Beom-su will be able
to get justice too.
The same goes for Detective Park
and Jun-su's mom,
since their killer was caught.
The expired statute
of limitations is one thing,
but I'm not sure if they can find
abandoned bodies from 27 years ago.
My wife and I don't really expect much.
We'll just live happily ever after
with you, Thomas.
I'm going to get going.
Live happily ever after?
Do you think Wook will leave
his mom here forever?
Gosh, how can you be so dense?
You shouldn't have said that.
Are you sure you're a cop?
Be careful!
- Hey.
- Yes.
Did you eat?
Yes, I ate.
Thanks to Mr. Jang,
I had a rustic, organic meal.
I'm glad to hear that.
You used to be a picky eater
when you were young.
You didn't eat carrots, beans,
or vegetables, but you liked meat.
Mr. Jang has been feeding me
only vegetables.
Right.
Any news about Hyeon-ji?
Are the police still looking for her?
The culprit's maternal family's
grave site is nearby.
I think they'll find her soon.
I really hope they do.
A few days ago, Yeo-na said
the reason why I see the dead
is because you're here.
But Hyeon-ji isn't here.
I have a feeling that Hyeon-ji
is around here.
Big bro!
You're in a great mood.
Did something good happen?
Yes! I'm going to go meet my mom,
dad, and grandma!
What do you mean?
It means…
It means…
Goodbye.
My dear Beom-su.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Good for him.
I'm glad he left.
You'll also leave one day, Mom.
I want to stay here
with you for as long as I can.
No.
I don't want you to get tied down here.
I just want you to live
a normal life like others.
Jun-su must be bored since Beom-su left.
I'll find Jun-su.
I'm really good at finding people.
Remember how I found Ha-neul?
I'm doing this because
of my sense of justice.
That's because you take after me.
I really can't stand injustice.
Didn't Mr. Jang and Thomas
tell you about it?
Well, Thomas did.
He said you have a fiery temperament
and that you jump to action.
What?
Gosh.
Now I finally understand
where I get my temper from.
My goodness.
Come over for dinner
with Mr. Jang tonight.
Detective Park always
does all the cooking.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that
we all enjoy the food.
Have a seat.
Thank you for coming to the funeral.
We have handed over
Lee Dong-min to the prosecutors.
We have enough evidence of his crimes,
so he'll probably spend
the rest of his life in prison.
After killing all of those people,
I can't believe that's
all the punishment he'll get…
Lee Dong-min is a sociopath.
Being in a situation
where he has no control…
Might be more excruciating than death.
He must pay for what he did.
Anyway,
I asked you to come to ask you a question.
About the necklace that
your fiancée was wearing…
I gave it to her when I proposed.
My mom gave it to me when I was young.
I kept it to give it to someone I love.
Do you mind if I take a look at it?
If there's an "S"…
How do you know about that?
This is the birthstone necklace
I bought for Su-yeon
on her 20th birthday.
Are you saying I'm your grandson?
But I have a mother…
There's no need to rush.
You can take your time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Su-yeon…
Your birth mother gave it to me.
I went to the church
after getting a call saying
they had an orphan there.
As soon as I held the baby,
the baby held onto my finger
and wouldn't let go.
He wasn't even 100 days old,
but there was a twinkle in his eyes.
Your dad also said we should adopt you
the moment he laid eyes on you.
I told the director
of the children's home the next day,
dropped by the district office,
and brought you home.
You never told me I was adopted.
My birth was registered
on my family register.
I was afraid that you might be bullied
at school or hurt if I told you the truth.
I meant to tell you someday.
After the children's home burned down,
and your dad passed away,
I didn't have a chance to tell you.
Still,
you should have told me
when Yeo-na disappeared.
How could I, when all the kids
from that children's home died?
If those guys were really after you,
I'd be putting you in danger.
How could I possibly tell you?
Every time I heard the door,
I'd wonder if you were home.
If you weren't home the next day,
I'd wonder if you were okay.
I've been so anxious all this time.
Before I read the diary in your room,
I didn't realize your birth mother was
Chairwoman Han's daughter.
In the end,
Yeo-na died
because of me.
Jang Myeong-gyu,
Kim Nam-guk,
and the kids who died in the fire…
They all died because of me.
Because of me…
So many lives were lost.
Jun-ho.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not your fault.
You were all children.
The adults are at fault.
I didn't want my kid to get hurt,
so I kept silent when other kids
got hurt instead. It's all my fault…
Yeo-na…
Suffocated to death
in the cold waters of the ocean
because of me.
I don't even deserve to breathe.
Mom, I don't deserve to breathe…
I'm sorry. You did nothing wrong, Jun-ho.
It's all my fault.
Dig a little deeper. Over There.
Okay, sir.
Mr. Jang!
What is it this time?
Why can't you stay still
for even a second?
You must come with me now.
The police are here to search the area!
Why?
Come on, hurry!
What are they looking for?
Over here!
- Where?
- Let's go, sir.
Hey, where is it?
Over here, sir!
Hey, Detective Baek.
Can you let me in for a second?
You can't go inside now.
Come on. It won't take long.
Damn it. There's more than one.
Hey, when will Forensics get here?
Detective Baek!
Yes, it's me!
Keep digging.
- Okay.
- Yes, sir.
See? I told you. You can let me in.
When will you be able
to identify the bodies?
We're going to send them
to the National Forensic Service.
There are at least three to four victims.
I'll call you as soon
as I get the results.
Okay.
They found
my Hyeon-ji.
What do you mean?
I don't see the village.
I can't see anything.
I heard they found Hyeon-ji!
Where was she?
In the woods.
I really hoped that
she would be alive somewhere.
What about Mr. Jang? Where is he?
He can't see the village anymore.
Why not?
If I had known sooner,
I would have said goodbye.
He found Hyeon-ji.
That's why he can't see
this place anymore.
Good for him.
He lived with the dead
for more than ten years.
Now that he has found Hyeon-ji,
he needs to live his own life.
I feel so sorry for Mr. Jang.
Then if you find your mom's body,
will you stop seeing the village too?
I think so.
We should hurry then.
We must find all of them.
Yes, we must.
You're right.
I promised to find Jun-su too.
We must find them.
Honey.
I promised to come with Hyeon-ji.
I'm sorry that
I brought her in this state.
OH YUN-GYEONG, JANG HYEON-JI
At least now,
all three of us are together.
Hyeon-ji.
You're not scared now that
you're with Mom, right?
Honey. Be kind to Hyeon-ji
and take good care of her.
Don't hate your mother too much.
She's a wonderful person who spent
her whole life caring for you.
I know.
That's what makes me even more upset.
My Su-yeon
and your mother…
They both tried to protect their child.
We still have the time
to resent them and forgive them.
Su-yeon was able
to protect her little child
when she was in so much pain.
But…
I couldn't protect my child.
I failed at being a good mother,
but I want to give you everything
since Su-yeon risked
her life protecting you.
You've already given me everything.
I've found my grandmother,
so I don't need anything else.
But I'll try to visit you more often
with my mom.
Sure.
Thank you.
Hey.
What brings you here?
Yeo-na is gone now.
It's the same for me
back then and now.
I still don't see anything.
Kim Hyeon-mi and Park Yeong-ho.
I can't seem to track them down.
I know. I'm still looking for them too.
Choiseung Construction built
an apartment 27 years ago.
Lee Dong-min bribed
the person in charge of
overseeing the foundation work.
That's probably where
he buried the bodies.
The building will be torn down next week
for redevelopment,
so I'm going to go check it out.
Is today the day?
Yes, so I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Sure. I'll do anything for you.
Once my mom and Detective Park disappear,
promise me you'll
take good care of Jun-su.
I'm going to find Jun-su's body,
so just until then.
Okay, I'll do that.
And you…
Don't mind me.
Someone must look after the village.
Thank you for everything.
I mean it.
I should be the one to thank you.
Thanks to you,
I'm able to live here in Korea.
Here you are.
A cup of iced America no
with an extra shot.
Gosh, I love this coffee.
Thank you.
- He lost again.
- Goodness. Why do I keep losing?
Jun-su, want to play one more round?
You always lose, Dad.
Let's do it one more time.
I think your top is better.
You wrote in your letter
that you'd come back.
Thank you for keeping your word.
Thank you for coming into my life again.
Wook.
I've…
Missed you a lot over the years.
Me too.
I've missed you a lot.
Thank you for growing up
to be such a fine young man.
Mom…
I love you, Wook.
Me too.
Goodbye.
At least you got to say goodbye to Thomas.
I couldn't even say goodbye
because it all happened so quickly.
Mr. Jang, do you remember?
The detectives treated me like a lunatic
when I said I saw Ha-neul over there.
Of course I do. I joined in on them too.
But now,
I understand how the detectives
must have felt.
I insisted there was a village
in those woods.
I know.
What are you doing?
Even if I can't see them, they can see me.
I'm saying goodbye to Thomas.
You should wave in that direction.
Café Hawaii is over there.
I lived here for over a decade.
I know this place better than you.
It's over there!
It's that way! I put a mark there!
- What?
- Look over there.
- I'm right.
- You're not Sunshine Wook.
You're Stubborn Wook, you brat.
- It's over there!
- I'm not just trying to prove a point.
- That's where it is!
- Ten years...
I put a mark there
every time I went by that place.
Again, I lived here for over ten years.
I traced the IP address and it's the house
of the bus driver you mentioned last time.
Then Kim Geon-u killed Jun-su.
No.
It was someone else from that house.
I knew it.
Great work, Jong-a.
You've gotten much better.
It seems like just yesterday
you got scammed.
You got scammed?
No. I don't know
what you're talking about.
Yes, you were.
Mom, did you send the money?
Okay. I'll handle it.
Yoo Yeong-min.
You shouldn't do that.
Who are you?
You're getting involved again.
Forget who I am. Let me see that first.
The name on the paper
is different from the name
on the memo, right?
Where? Let me see.
You're right. The names are different.
The realtor said he got
a power of attorney.
Exactly. He got a power of attorney,
not the deed.
If you signed a lease,
you should send the money to the landlord.
Why are you sending it to someone else?
You look smart, but you're not.
Consider yourself lucky today.
I have this weird sense of justice,
so I can't ignore someone in need.
Right. That happened.
I got scammed.
I have something for you.
What is it?
Ta-da!
Now you're one of the four musketeers.
Four musketeers?
The three of us plus Nam-guk.
Hence, the four musketeers.
No, I'm out. This is too much work for me.
You can't bail on us now.
Once you become part of our group,
you're stuck with us for life.
Give me your hand.
- Gosh.
- Come on.
I had this custom-made.
You've got nothing to do
at home by yourself.
You can take care of things here
and help us when we get work.
We'll eat together
and have fun together too.
You can't force me to do that.
Like this.
- Welcome to the four musketeers.
- It doesn't come off easily.
Hello, I'm Shin Jun-ho.
Today, I was officially transferred
to the Missing Persons Team.
I look forward to working with you.
We've been working together already.
Why are you making an announcement?
This is your seat.
Just act as you usually do.
But our team barely gets results.
Are you sure about this?
You don't seem to get it.
The police are always a step behind when
investigating a robbery or a homicide
because they're chasing the criminal
after the crime has taken place.
But…
Missing persons cases are always ongoing.
We're a team that finds people.
Must we go this far?
The guy who killed Jun-su
is going to move out today!
The evidence is saved on his computer.
- We must get it.
- Okay.
Wait. Be quiet.
We received some good news
from the site where the exhumation
of fallen Korean War soldiers
is taking place.
According to North and South Korea's
KIA Recovery and Identification Agency,
they found the remains of seven people
who are presumed to be
independence activists
near the Amnok River
along with their clothes and belongings.
The skeletons of these
presumed independence activists
were found downstream of the Amnok River.
- The Ministry of National Defense…
- Gosh, look. It's Thomas.
One moment.
Do you think they'll find Thomas
under all that dirt?
Anyway, one of them is Thomas, right?
I really hope they find him.
I hope so too.
The remains will soon be sent to the
KIA Recovery and Identification Agency
for a detailed examination
and DNA analysis…
I'm so glad Jun-su left,
especially since Thomas is gone now.
You're right.
Who's going to look after the village now?
I'm sure someone new will come along.
Who was that?
Who threw this ball?
Where did it come from?
Please give it back. It's mine.
There are a lot of cars passing by here.
It's dangerous.
You need to be careful.
- Be careful, okay?
- Thank you.
Girls these days are good at soccer.
Jong-a is good too.
- Really?
- She's good at everything.
That girl looks so familiar.
Where have I seen her?
Let's go. We're late. Come on.
Guys!
I just saw Hyeon-ji's dad.
Really? Hyeon-ji's dad?
- Yes.
- Where?
Over there.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
MISSING: THE OTHER SIDE
