Missing: The Other Side (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
- We had a hard time finding Kim Nam-guk.
- There won't be any problems, will there?
We've already started wrapping up,
so don't worry.
Just take care of your side.
Let's go.
I'm sorry…
For what happened to your friend.
Why did those jerks kill Nam-guk?
What did they say
was their reason?
Who are those jerks?
The bastards who abducted me
also killed Nam-guk.
I have no idea who they are or why…
They killed him.
I put a GPS tracker under their car.
- Track it now.
- Send me their location now. Okay?
JUNKYARD
Get out!
Put your hands up and step out of the car.
Are you alone?
Yes, I'm a deliveryman…
I didn't see his face.
When I arrived at the parking lot
we were supposed to meet,
only the car was there.
You must've been in touch.
He texted me.
The number you have dialed
is not in service.
THE LATE KIM NAM-GUK
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
Congratulations, Mr. Kim!
Hey, man.
Why did you leave so soon?
I miss you already.
THE LATE OH YUN-GYEONG
Honey, it's me.
Something came up,
so I'm a few days late.
I'm sorry.
And…
I'm here alone again this year.
Even though I always promise to bring
Hyeon-ji the next time I come.
There are so many things I'm sorry about.
I promise to come with Hyeon-ji next year.
I shaved and put some stuff in my hair.
What do you think?
I was pretty handsome back then.
But now I'm just an old fogey.
I'm pretty old, aren't I?
Yun-gyeong.
I can't come to you yet.
I can't leave Hyeon-ji here.
You understand, right?
Wook.
I got you meat, your favorite!
Have some and cheer up.
They say it's better
to be alive than to be dead.
You must recover your strength
to catch the jerk who killed your friend
and take care of that scumbag,
Woo Il-seok!
I mean, I'm not trying to lecture you.
It's just a lot of people here
didn't even get to have a funeral.
Did he pass out from starving?
What?
Are you in the bathroom?
Where did he go?
I was curious about who killed Kim Mi-ok,
whom I'd been looking for a year.
So I came to see your face. You look good.
I guess you're shamelessly
eating and sleeping well.
Meanwhile, her family has been suffering
because of the trauma you inflicted.
Why did you do it?
She had nothing to do with you.
Did you just laugh?
Is this funny to you?
I'm asking you why you killed her!
I just couldn't stop.
I heard you were here.
- Is it urgent?
- Yes.
What is it?
What brings you all the way here?
- I want to report a missing person.
- A missing person?
I need your help.
Choi Yeo-na. 29 years old.
She worked as a curator at an art gallery
and she quit two months ago.
No criminal record or health issues.
- What about her family?
- She doesn't have any family.
She grew up in a children's home.
We recently had some arguments
while planning our wedding,
so I thought it was just another fight.
I was also swamped with work.
- Did you check her house?
- There was no sign of forced entry.
She didn't clean up the food she had
and left her wallet and passport.
- Only her phone is missing.
- What about the CCTV footage?
It got her entering her house,
but there's no footage of her coming out.
Six hours are missing
from the next day's footage
because they turned off the camera
for an inspection.
I checked all the security cameras
around her house,
but I got nothing.
So you don't think
it's a simple missing person case?
No. Recently, there were two murder cases
and the victims talked
to each other on the phone.
There were records of Yeo-na
talking to one of them.
I think this is a case
for the Crimes Division.
But those two murders were disguised
as a simple mugging and a car accident,
so there's not enough evidence
to pin this as serial murder.
But I believe all three cases are related.
We'll leave the murders up to
the Crimes Division and do our jobs.
I hope she just left home,
but if it's linked to the other murders,
the culprits must be on the move.
Go and catch them now.
Okay.
- It's nice.
- Right?
I want to change the music too.
Every time I come,
I realize how old his taste in music is.
No way.
Anyway, aren't you here to say something?
No, I just came for a cup of coffee.
I have a question.
Is that room the only way
you can get into this village?
- I think so.
- Then…
Do people come at a scheduled time?
There's no schedule.
We can't do anything about the rules here.
Nor did we ask for them.
Gosh, I should get going.
Wook still hasn't come home.
He wasn't there this morning.
SEOUL SEOBUK POLICE STATION
Nam-guk…
Did you catch the guy who killed Nam-guk?
- I sent you a message.
- You don't even know who they are.
They fled to China?
That's all you got?
You'll find something
once you track down the GPS records.
I tracked it down and I got his face,
but since he's a foreigner,
his fingerprints weren't registered.
His face was caught
on camera at the harbor,
but he left on a ferry
with a fake passport.
So that's it?
I requested cooperation from Interpol
and we're investigating it in other ways.
We're searching all the areas
where the GPS went through…
So be patient.
There are more victims
other than Kim Nam-guk.
This is also an important case for me.
I shouldn't have put my trust in you.
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
You're a thief.
Yes, I called you a thief.
Is there a problem?
You should pay the money you borrowed.
How can you ask for
the collateral back first?
If you want it back, bring my money first.
Why are you yelling here
instead of being at work?
Nam-guk is gone,
and you didn't answer my call.
Do you know how scared I was?
I was scared too,
hearing a woman yell
in a shop with no owner.
What do you mean?
I'm the owner from now on.
I resigned today.
Are you insane?
I'm not.
Did you think
I would be able to go to work
as if nothing happened?
But your parents put up
a banner and threw a party
when you became a civil servant.
My parents are healthy.
I can repay them later.
But Nam-guk…
Died an unfair death.
We must find the guys who killed Nam-guk.
And I can still see
traces of Nam-guk all over this place.
It used to be our hideout too.
Right. You quit your stable job.
- Good luck, Ms. Lee.
- Oh, right.
I got Nam-guk's call history.
He made a lot of calls.
JANG MYEONG-GYU
What's this? Who is he?
I think it's the friend
from the children's home he mentioned.
He's a reporter
and he died a few days ago.
- He died?
- Yes, in a bike mugging.
Be patient.
There are more victims
other than Kim Nam-guk.
This is also an important case for me.
The children's home Nam-guk
was at when he was a kid burned down,
so he moved to another place.
The one he was at
closed down after the fire.
Can you look into that children's home?
ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEHIND FIRE
AT BLUE SUNSHINE CHILDREN'S HOME
I got it!
- You found something?
- Yes.
Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
How terrible. More than ten kids died
and only three survived.
Are there any names?
No, it just lists their last names.
Kim, Jang, and Choi.
Kim Nam-guk, Jang Myeong-gyu,
and Choi Yeo-na.
Choi Yeo-na?
The person you asked me to look into?
The one who lives in Mahyeon-dong?
I thought she was kidnapped?
Oh, right.
WOMAN IN HER TWENTIES MISSING
There's an article
about her disappearance.
I should go. Let's go.
I'll drive you home.
Why? What is it?
Welcome.
Where…
Where is this place?
I just jumped into the Han River.
Why don't we talk over a cup of tea?
You must have come in a rush.
I was on patrol with Detective Park.
I should go back.
A new person has come.
I thought you were on patrol
with my husband.
Yes, I just dropped by. I'm on my way out.
What brings you here at this hour?
What's with the flowers?
The flowers are for the café.
I came after I saw the light.
I wondered who arrived.
I see. Make sure to ask
Thomas to take you home.
Okay.
Be safe.
All right.
What's this?
I love this place.
Look. It's the trend
to keep things simple nowadays.
Back in my day,
floral prints and lace were in style.
Just like this.
And like this.
I'm surprised every time
you talk about the old days.
- They're pretty.
- Forget it.
They're pretty!
Gosh.
I can't say I'm happy
to see new people here.
Wook.
It's been a while.
I thought you had escaped.
I want to ask you a few things.
You jumped into the Han River?
Did you commit suicide?
People these days call it,
"taking one's life."
"Taking one's life"? Please.
Committing suicide is a sin.
- I'm sure he had his reasons.
- What kind of reasons?
What about your family?
Didn't you think of your family who would
be heartbroken reading your note?
They must be crying
their eyes out right now.
I bet not.
Because I'm a loser.
My parents are both distinguished judges.
My old brother is a high-paid attorney.
But I was never good at school
or anything else.
So my parents were always ashamed of me.
I was an embarrassment to my family.
- What was that for?
- You're so childish.
- Do you really think that's how they feel?
- You don't know them.
I'm a mother too.
Just as we all look different,
we also have different ways
of expressing our feelings.
Every parent wishes the best
for their children.
And you drove a knife
through their hearts.
Even so, you shouldn't have
taken your life like that.
It's better that I'm gone.
Drink it before it gets cold.
It will soothe you.
Is it okay if we talk here?
This is the only quiet place I know.
Welcome, Kim.
Yeo-na, you're back.
Did he just call me Kim?
Yes, I think so.
I let things slide only because
you're the head of the village.
But I'm older than you.
This place is crowded.
Let's go for a walk.
Are they dating?
No, I don't think so.
Mr. Jang and my husband
are patrolling the village.
Goodness. How could they be so careless?
Where did I see that person before?
You're not on good terms
with that woman, right?
There's nothing between us.
She always gets angry at me,
so I try to avoid her.
She's overly protective of her kid.
She makes me feel miserable
that I grew up without a mother.
My mom ran away
when I was in kindergarten.
Since then, I grew up
in a children's home.
I grew up in a children's home too.
- You too?
- Yes.
I was abandoned in front of a church
as soon as I was born.
I moved around from one home to another.
Then I started living on my own
after graduating from high school.
Interesting.
Since I started working, I've never met
anyone from a children's home.
You moved around? Why?
There was a fire
at the first children's home I was at.
It's really horrible
now that I think about it,
but I just accepted it then.
A lot of kids died in that fire.
I was very lucky.
- Do you remember the name of the place?
- Yes. Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
Why do you ask?
Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
More than ten kids died
and only three survived.
Did something happen
at that children's home?
Sorry?
One of the survivors from the fire
is a close friend of mine.
- His name is Kim Nam-guk.
- Kim Nam-guk?
Well, I don't really remember him.
- What about Jang Myeong-gyu?
- I remember him. He called me recently.
I didn't remember who it was at first.
He brought up the children's home
and said we should meet sometime.
Jang Myeong-gyu…
Is dead.
Nam-guk…
Also died after he got a call
from Jang Myeong-gyu.
What?
I think there's a connection
between the three cases.
So the people who killed them…
Are the ones who came to my house?
Perhaps.
You go crazy for meat.
Why aren't you eating?
I'm already going crazy.
I know you are.
How could you not,
after what happened to you?
But the living should keep living.
You once said that
the reason I'm able to see the dead
is because of some grudge I'm holding.
I guess it must be because of Nam-guk.
I'm meant to catch the guys
who killed Nam-guk.
- Because the answer is right here.
- So that's why you didn't go.
- Go where?
- You slept like a log.
Then you just disappeared,
so I thought you were gone for good.
You showed up without a word,
so I figured you left that way too.
You never had manners.
But…
You didn't leave.
Where would I go?
I already paid for the room.
I'm not going. I can't leave.
Fine.
If you insist, I'll cut your rent in half
for the time being.
But what you paid upfront is a done deal.
That's so unfair!
You scolded me
because I only did things for money.
Now I see that you're the one
who's crazy about money!
Look at all that!
You collected them for money, didn't you?
Who doesn't like money?
And don't talk with your mouth full.
It's disgusting.
Then don't eat if you're disgusted!
I'm going to eat it all!
It's so good.
Seriously…
SEOUL SEOBUK POLICE STATION
Hello, ma'am.
I want to ask you a few things
about the case.
BLUE SUNSHINE CHILDREN'S HOME
MISSING AND MURDER CASE
Do you recognize them?
They used to be at the home
where you worked.
I know Myeong-gyu and Yeo-na.
This one must be Nam-guk.
Yeo-na is currently missing
and the other two are dead.
They're dead?
The search for Mr. Ko,
who jumped into the Han River
last night after leaving a will,
has been going on for 14 hours.
Next up.
It's been 17 days since Ms. Choi Yeo-na,
a woman in her twenties, went missing,
but she is yet to be found.
The police and the fire department
are now investigating...
You want me to disappear, don't you?
Would it make you happy
if I went away?
If I say yes,
will you go away?
Mother…
Based on the timeline,
she was last seen going home
on the evening of June 7th.
We got a few reports, so I checked,
but none of them led to anything.
What about the possibility of
a kidnapping or another crime?
It's too early to jump to conclusions.
Let's keep looking.
Have you seen this woman?
She lives next door.
I haven't seen her in days.
- If you see her, please call this number.
- Okay.
I heard people outside
are looking for Yeo-na.
She's all over the news and the papers.
What's the point? Yeo-na is already dead
and the guys fled to China.
The Interpol put out an APB.
It'll be hard to find the culprit in China
with only a face caught on camera.
If they go into hiding,
we'll never find them.
I'm sure they killed these two
and even took Yeo-na.
This is our lead.
Nam-guk said he didn't know them.
Same with Yeo-na.
Anyway, they didn't do it
because of a personal grudge.
Someone is behind the whole thing.
- To kill the three of them?
- Someone gave the order.
It's most likely a contract killing
or an abduction.
So who gave the order?
How am I supposed to know that?
We must find them.
Bastards…
- Did you put up with what he did?
- Of course I fought back.
But it was no use.
He was way richer and stronger than me.
I'm sure he's living the dream now.
I studied the law
in order to catch bastards like that.
You're right, Bong-hwan.
You would've become a great judge.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Did you just call me?
The woman you were with
at the café last night.
- What about her?
- Her name is Choi Yeo-na, isn't it?
I knew it.
Before I jumped into the river,
I saw reports of her disappearance.
What a coincidence!
There's nothing good
about seeing her here.
Why do you look so happy?
Please let her know.
People outside are looking hard for her.
She's constantly on the news
and the police are searching everywhere.
Tell her to keep her chin up,
since the whole country
is worried about her.
Please give Ms. Choi that message.
Are you in a position to cheer someone up?
Let go.
I always believed that I was useless.
But things are different here.
People see me for the person I am
and they listen without judging you
for your background.
I love being here.
What's happening?
Goodbye.
Mr. Nosy.
You really made him disappear.
You damned pervert.
Didn't I tell you to get lost?
It was your doing, right? That guy.
How did you do that?
You may be able to deceive the others,
but not me.
You bastard.
I should be the one saying that.
I know what you did to
that middle school girl nine years ago.
I know what you did
to that housewife eight years ago.
- How do you know all that?
- Should I keep going?
Just because you're dead
doesn't mean your sins are forgiven.
People like you will pay the price
for a long time even after you die!
How the hell did he find out?
Hey, Yeo-na. Come here.
- We have some big news!
- What is it?
Beom-su, tell us what you said earlier.
What did Uncle Bong-hwan say?
Please let her know.
People outside are looking hard for her.
She's constantly on the news
and the police are searching everywhere.
She'll be found soon.
Tell her to keep her chin up,
since the whole country
is worried about her.
Please give Ms. Choi that message.
There must be an open search.
The police…
Jun-ho…
And then…
He disappeared like that.
Seeing how he left so soon,
his family must've searched all night.
What did I say? That brat.
His parents did care about him.
Anyway, good for you.
You'll be found soon.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Beom-su, you did a great job.
- No.
It's what Uncle Bong-hwan told big bro.
He heard it.
So what?
He kept it to himself
without passing on the message.
He probably meant to do it later.
He should've told her right away!
It's such great news!
He's a jerk, that's why.
Jun-ho…
He's looking for me.
Sometime between the morning
and 6:00 p.m. on the 8th.
Damn, are you watching it again?
You must've seen it around 100 times.
- Did you eat dinner?
- I'm not hungry.
Hey, where are you going?
There's a camera blind spot
near Yeo-na's apartment.
I'm going to find a car parked nearby
and check the dashcam.
Jeez…
That car doesn't have a dashcam.
- What about this one?
- They're not picking up.
Why don't you transfer to my team?
You belong with us
rather than the Crimes Division.
You can only investigate robberies
and murders after they happen,
but missing persons cases
are always ongoing.
Once you give up on searching, it's over.
That's why you must do whatever you can,
whether you go to a shaman
or a fortune teller,
just like what you're doing now.
I'm not investigating a case now.
I'm looking for my fiancée.
That's it.
That's how we always feel
when we handle these cases.
We don't look for the culprit.
We look for people.

"And the rest of the shares
of Choiseung Construction
will be left to my grandson
or my granddaughter."
"However, at the time of my death,
if my grandson
or my granddaughter isn't found,
Han Sang-gil, Yoo Seong-ho,
and Lee Dong-min will inherit
one-third of the shares each."
You have been with the company
since the beginning.
Mrs. Han. A grandson or a granddaughter?
- You don't even have a child. So how...
- Get back to your work now.
"Give shares to her grandson
or granddaughter"?
I heard it too.
It doesn't make sense at all!
She doesn't have a child.
How can she have a grandchild?
Does she have another child
other than the crazy daughter who died?
Watch your mouth.
Don't just spit out
whatever comes to mind.
What did I do so wrong?
HAN YEO-HUI
Time to eat.
Come here!
- Where are you going?
- I need to drop by somewhere.
I also have to bring
a few things from home.
- You do? I'll come with you.
- What's gotten into you?
The other day, you dressed up
in a suit to go meet a woman.
Cut the nonsense.
I can go grocery shopping while I'm out.
We're out of instant coffee.
It's strange. The coffee Thomas makes
isn't tasty at all.
It's not sweet either.
I like it. How tacky of you.
You think you know about coffee?
You go first.
Put it here.
This is it, right?
There's nothing else downstairs?
Thanks for your help.
I'll buy you a meal next time.
Buy it today.
Since I was discharged, all I got is time.
No. I need to go somewhere.
Shouldn't you be practicing?
Trainees these days
don't practice hard enough.
I heard it used to be intense in the past.
That's not it.
I just have a lot on my mind.
I don't know when I'll be able to debut.
I wonder if I need to work part-time
to make some pocket money.
Then work here.
Three hours a day,
1,000 won more than the minimum wage.
And when I'm out,
you can lock up and practice.
Are you serious? Really?
You can't take it back!
I'll start tomorrow!
But if you're late three times,
it's a warning.
Three absences, you're out.
Got it.
MY BELOVED SON, WOOK
WE'LL HAVE TO BE APART FOR A WHILE
I PROMISE TO COME BACK FOR YOU
You're taking all that?
It's a small house. Don't pack too much.
I told you it wouldn't take long.
Why did you come in? Stop nagging at me.
I didn't just come in. I had to pee.
- You startled me.
- Are you moving?
What brings you here?
Let's talk for a bit.
He always ends up making me work.
Now I have to pack all this.
What is this wig? What a weirdo.
Wook, I'm here!
Goodness.
What are you doing here?
- Where's Wook?
- He stepped out for a bit.
Hello? Yes, that's right.
I saw your flyer.
Where are you now?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Hey, Miss. Can I borrow your car?
No way. My insurance doesn't cover you.
I'm not sure if I can find a cab here.
This is driving me crazy.
Can't you go faster?
The speed limit here is 60km/h
and I'm driving at 60 now.
Gosh, I shouldn't.
Did you find the guys who killed Nam-guk?
I guess you didn't.
Then why did you come here?
We found Ha-neul in a water tank,
but you said you saw him in the woods.
There you go again.
You knew about the scar on his wrist.
You knew who the culprit was
before the police.
That's not true.
You put a GPS tracker under the car
the guys who killed Kim Nam-guk
were driving.
- You're always a step ahead of me.
- So what are you trying to say?
Are you here to complain
about how it hurt your pride?
Choi Yeo-na.
You saw reports of
her disappearance, right?
The guys who killed Kim Nam-guk
abducted this woman too.
I'm not sure if you see ghosts
or you're simply crazy,
but if you have such a power…
Please help me.
First you treated me like a lunatic.
Now you're treating me
like a fortune teller.
If you have time for this,
go catch the culprit.
I'm busy too.
We don't have time!
Someone's life is at stake!
On the news, they said
it's been more than ten days.
- Do you believe she's still alive?
- She is alive.
I believe it.
That's why I'm willing to do
anything I can to find her.
- She looks like a part-timer I know.
- So where is she? Which store?
I'm not 100% sure of it.
Is there a reward?
- As long as I can find my daughter.
- I see.
24 HOUR COIN LAUNDRY
Look.
She looks exactly like
the girl in the flyer, right?
- Which store is this?
- Gosh.
I can't disclose
personal information like that.
I'll check again to see
if she's the same girl,
so get the money ready.
Why does he look so intimated?
Is he in debt?
- Was that guy harassing you?
- No.
Let's go. Wook must be waiting.
I don't care about other stuff,
but I can't stand people
who pull power trips on the weak.
If that brat ever gives you a hard time,
you let me know. I'll show him who's boss.
So get the money ready.
I'll send you her photo
and phone number once I get paid.
Are you ignoring me?
ILGONG COLD STORAGE
Why are we here?
These are the places they went to.
Except for Nam-guk's place,
they spend most of their time here.
The police already checked
their photos and asked...
I don't have any affiliations
or connections,
so I don't ask others to do my job.
And I don't trust anyone.
He fell from pretty high up,
so he might be dead.
If he's dead, there should be a body.
So he's alive, after all.
How dare he come here?
- Yeo-na, what are you doing?
- Gosh, you surprised me!
I'm trying to start a fire.
- A campfire?
- No.
I want to make some smoke
to send a message to someone far away.
But smoke can't talk.
In the past, there were no cars or phones,
so when people wanted to send
an urgent message to someone far away,
they used smoke.
What message do you want to send?
"I'm here."
"So…"
"Come and find me."
Let's eat roasted sweet potatoes!
I'll ask Thomas for some sweet potatoes.
And some potatoes too.
Have you seen this woman?
- No, I've never seen her.
- How about these people?
If you see them, please call this number.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- You want some, Yeo-na?
- No, thanks. You can have it all.
Were you able to send your message?
I don't know. I hope people see the smoke.
Should I go and call them?
I'm not talking about the people
in this village.
Okay, I see.
I cleaned up the room inside,
so unpack there.
You didn't say a word in the car.
You seemed upset.
Where did you go with Jong-a?
Or did you have a fight with her?
I'm too old to have a fight
with a young lady.
I must take a nap before I go patrolling.
You did fight with her!
You must have lost to her.
Jong-a's a scary girl.
You'd better be careful.
Big bro.
Yeo-na. I brought him here.
You can play with her now.
- I'm going to go to Jun-su's.
- Okay.
I'll take these with me!
What are you doing here?
As you can see,
I'm using a classic method,
but no one's coming.
Are you trying to make some smoke
and call people here?
Come on, it's the 21st century.
A kite would've worked better
than sending smoke signals.
That's right. A kite!
What?
- Don't tell me you're thinking of a kite...
- What are you doing tonight?
Is Detective Shin Jun-ho your fiancé?
His name is written here.
Yes.
He's a big shot detective,
so he's super busy.
So I had to prepare
for the wedding all by myself.
We didn't even get to do a photo shoot yet.
But I'm sure he'll come to find me
once he sees this.
He'll come to find you
even if you don't do this.
I'm sure he's put his life on hold
to look for you.
Is Jun-ho looking for me?
Did Mr. Ko Bong-hwan
say anything about Jun-ho too?
No, it's just my guess.
You said he's a big shot detective.
His fiancée's gone missing,
so I'm sure he's trying his best.
Please let these fly far away
and reach someone.
Please let him know that I'm here.
Please…
It's like we're at a festival.
Aren't they pretty?
Yes.
They're beautiful.
- That one is the most beautiful one.
- No, that one is!
- That one is the most beautiful one.
- No, the other one is better!
- Let's go back inside, boys.
- Can't we play a little longer?
They're still so sparkly!
Let's go inside
before the scary guy shows up.
What's that?
Isn't it obvious?
They are wishes.
They are someone's earnest wishes.
Just like mine.
I'll take the moldy wallpaper off
and repaper the room,
so go sleep in that room from now on.
There's no need for that.
It's all right.
It's not like I'll live here for good.
The lanterns in the sky earlier
were a piece of art.
Don't even get me started.
You have no idea how hard it was.
Yeo-na is very openhanded.
I think we made around 100.
That's how desperate she is to reach him.
I'm sure she's willing to do anything.
Do you believe she's still alive?
I believe it.
That's why I'm willing to do
anything I can to find her.
Mr. Jang.
Do you believe in miracles?
I guess the fact that we're able to see
the villagers is a miracle in itself.
Oh, Mr. Jang. I have a question.
How can you doze off
in the middle of a conversation?
That's another miracle.
Beom-su, where did you get that?
- Over there. There's a whole bunch!
- Whose is it?
Yeo-na and Shin Jun-ho's.
I saw many more,
so you can play with them too.
Really? I want one too!
- Shall we go and look for some?
- Yes!
Let's go.
I feel frustrated
even without the ankle monitor.
It's all his fault!
- Did you find anything there?
- No.
Where is it?
- I found one!
- Where?
Beom-su, look at this.
It's not torn at all.
I want a new one too.
- Do you want to switch?
- No.
They were all over the ground.
This won't make anyone come here.
Whether you start a fire or scream…
It will never reach the real world.
I think she still can't accept that.
By the way, who is Shin Jun-ho?
- A detective.
- The one who came to see you yesterday.
Right?
- Yes.
- Are you close to him?
No.
If you're not close,
why was his name on the lantern?
Oh, Yeo-na knows him.
- How?
- How?
I have no idea.
Why are you so interested in
her private life?
If you're that curious, go and ask her.
Why are you getting upset?
Kim, I like everything about you
except for your fiery temper.
This is ridiculous.
I didn't get upset at you
and I don't have a fiery temper.
And how much longer
are you going to call me "Kim"?
- If you keep that up, I'll kill you.
- I'm already dead.
I mean I'll make you pay.
Your last name is Kim.
What else should I call you?
Wook, or brother.
- There are nicer and sweeter terms.
- Hey! Stop being cranky to Thomas.
- I'll call you "brother," then.
- Okay, brother.
Bring him to me!
Let the kid go and talk to me. Okay?
Bring him to me right now!
I have nothing to say to you!
Jun-su!
- Yes, you!
- Is he the one?
Great. The person you're
looking for is here,
so please let our kid go.
Do something!
Jun-su…
This is all your fault.
You made me like this.
Cut the crap and let the kid go.
Tell me you'll get me out of here.
Then I'll let the kid go.
What?
I don't care if I go to hell
or someplace else. Please…
Just get me out of here!
You all know.
He's different from us.
What the hell are you talking about?
Even though I stabbed him,
he didn't get wounded.
He knows everything I did in the past.
He even made the guy
vanish a few days ago. I saw it myself!
Bong-hwan disappeared
because his body was found out there.
- Right, he has nothing to do with it.
- Shut up! I saw it myself!
He held that guy's hands,
and he was gone, just like that.
This man is the Grim Reaper.
You don't believe that lunatic, do you?
You want me to send you to hell?
Who says I will?
You crazy bastard!
How dare you threaten my kid
and hurt my wife?
I'll make sure you pay for this.
I'll make every moment of your life hell.
Get up!
Send me away. Please let me go!
Go home! There's nothing to see here.
- This is my photo. So it's mine.
- No, it's Mommy's.
Why is this yours when it's my photo?
You're mine, so this photo is mine too.
That tickles!
You're mine! You're mine, Wook!
This is me.
Do you think you'll recognize her
if you see her?
Of course, right away!
I'm looking for my grandchild.
Chairwoman Han has a grandchild?
There's a name,
but there's no other record.
By the way, who's Hyeon-ji?
Eat up.
He disappeared from this house.
We don't have much time.
I'm sure she's waiting for me.
Why can't the world
be rid of monsters like you?
Do you think the world will change
for the better if I disappear?
Just tell me who killed you.
Subtitle translation by: Jae-won Lee
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
- We had a hard time finding Kim Nam-guk.
- There won't be any problems, will there?
We've already started wrapping up,
so don't worry.
Just take care of your side.
Let's go.
I'm sorry…
For what happened to your friend.
Why did those jerks kill Nam-guk?
What did they say
was their reason?
Who are those jerks?
The bastards who abducted me
also killed Nam-guk.
I have no idea who they are or why…
They killed him.
I put a GPS tracker under their car.
- Track it now.
- Send me their location now. Okay?
JUNKYARD
Get out!
Put your hands up and step out of the car.
Are you alone?
Yes, I'm a deliveryman…
I didn't see his face.
When I arrived at the parking lot
we were supposed to meet,
only the car was there.
You must've been in touch.
He texted me.
The number you have dialed
is not in service.
THE LATE KIM NAM-GUK
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
Congratulations, Mr. Kim!
Hey, man.
Why did you leave so soon?
I miss you already.
THE LATE OH YUN-GYEONG
Honey, it's me.
Something came up,
so I'm a few days late.
I'm sorry.
And…
I'm here alone again this year.
Even though I always promise to bring
Hyeon-ji the next time I come.
There are so many things I'm sorry about.
I promise to come with Hyeon-ji next year.
I shaved and put some stuff in my hair.
What do you think?
I was pretty handsome back then.
But now I'm just an old fogey.
I'm pretty old, aren't I?
Yun-gyeong.
I can't come to you yet.
I can't leave Hyeon-ji here.
You understand, right?
Wook.
I got you meat, your favorite!
Have some and cheer up.
They say it's better
to be alive than to be dead.
You must recover your strength
to catch the jerk who killed your friend
and take care of that scumbag,
Woo Il-seok!
I mean, I'm not trying to lecture you.
It's just a lot of people here
didn't even get to have a funeral.
Did he pass out from starving?
What?
Are you in the bathroom?
Where did he go?
I was curious about who killed Kim Mi-ok,
whom I'd been looking for a year.
So I came to see your face. You look good.
I guess you're shamelessly
eating and sleeping well.
Meanwhile, her family has been suffering
because of the trauma you inflicted.
Why did you do it?
She had nothing to do with you.
Did you just laugh?
Is this funny to you?
I'm asking you why you killed her!
I just couldn't stop.
I heard you were here.
- Is it urgent?
- Yes.
What is it?
What brings you all the way here?
- I want to report a missing person.
- A missing person?
I need your help.
Choi Yeo-na. 29 years old.
She worked as a curator at an art gallery
and she quit two months ago.
No criminal record or health issues.
- What about her family?
- She doesn't have any family.
She grew up in a children's home.
We recently had some arguments
while planning our wedding,
so I thought it was just another fight.
I was also swamped with work.
- Did you check her house?
- There was no sign of forced entry.
She didn't clean up the food she had
and left her wallet and passport.
- Only her phone is missing.
- What about the CCTV footage?
It got her entering her house,
but there's no footage of her coming out.
Six hours are missing
from the next day's footage
because they turned off the camera
for an inspection.
I checked all the security cameras
around her house,
but I got nothing.
So you don't think
it's a simple missing person case?
No. Recently, there were two murder cases
and the victims talked
to each other on the phone.
There were records of Yeo-na
talking to one of them.
I think this is a case
for the Crimes Division.
But those two murders were disguised
as a simple mugging and a car accident,
so there's not enough evidence
to pin this as serial murder.
But I believe all three cases are related.
We'll leave the murders up to
the Crimes Division and do our jobs.
I hope she just left home,
but if it's linked to the other murders,
the culprits must be on the move.
Go and catch them now.
Okay.
- It's nice.
- Right?
I want to change the music too.
Every time I come,
I realize how old his taste in music is.
No way.
Anyway, aren't you here to say something?
No, I just came for a cup of coffee.
I have a question.
Is that room the only way
you can get into this village?
- I think so.
- Then…
Do people come at a scheduled time?
There's no schedule.
We can't do anything about the rules here.
Nor did we ask for them.
Gosh, I should get going.
Wook still hasn't come home.
He wasn't there this morning.
SEOUL SEOBUK POLICE STATION
Nam-guk…
Did you catch the guy who killed Nam-guk?
- I sent you a message.
- You don't even know who they are.
They fled to China?
That's all you got?
You'll find something
once you track down the GPS records.
I tracked it down and I got his face,
but since he's a foreigner,
his fingerprints weren't registered.
His face was caught
on camera at the harbor,
but he left on a ferry
with a fake passport.
So that's it?
I requested cooperation from Interpol
and we're investigating it in other ways.
We're searching all the areas
where the GPS went through…
So be patient.
There are more victims
other than Kim Nam-guk.
This is also an important case for me.
I shouldn't have put my trust in you.
SO GOOD PAWNSHOP
You're a thief.
Yes, I called you a thief.
Is there a problem?
You should pay the money you borrowed.
How can you ask for
the collateral back first?
If you want it back, bring my money first.
Why are you yelling here
instead of being at work?
Nam-guk is gone,
and you didn't answer my call.
Do you know how scared I was?
I was scared too,
hearing a woman yell
in a shop with no owner.
What do you mean?
I'm the owner from now on.
I resigned today.
Are you insane?
I'm not.
Did you think
I would be able to go to work
as if nothing happened?
But your parents put up
a banner and threw a party
when you became a civil servant.
My parents are healthy.
I can repay them later.
But Nam-guk…
Died an unfair death.
We must find the guys who killed Nam-guk.
And I can still see
traces of Nam-guk all over this place.
It used to be our hideout too.
Right. You quit your stable job.
- Good luck, Ms. Lee.
- Oh, right.
I got Nam-guk's call history.
He made a lot of calls.
JANG MYEONG-GYU
What's this? Who is he?
I think it's the friend
from the children's home he mentioned.
He's a reporter
and he died a few days ago.
- He died?
- Yes, in a bike mugging.
Be patient.
There are more victims
other than Kim Nam-guk.
This is also an important case for me.
The children's home Nam-guk
was at when he was a kid burned down,
so he moved to another place.
The one he was at
closed down after the fire.
Can you look into that children's home?
ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEHIND FIRE
AT BLUE SUNSHINE CHILDREN'S HOME
I got it!
- You found something?
- Yes.
Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
How terrible. More than ten kids died
and only three survived.
Are there any names?
No, it just lists their last names.
Kim, Jang, and Choi.
Kim Nam-guk, Jang Myeong-gyu,
and Choi Yeo-na.
Choi Yeo-na?
The person you asked me to look into?
The one who lives in Mahyeon-dong?
I thought she was kidnapped?
Oh, right.
WOMAN IN HER TWENTIES MISSING
There's an article
about her disappearance.
I should go. Let's go.
I'll drive you home.
Why? What is it?
Welcome.
Where…
Where is this place?
I just jumped into the Han River.
Why don't we talk over a cup of tea?
You must have come in a rush.
I was on patrol with Detective Park.
I should go back.
A new person has come.
I thought you were on patrol
with my husband.
Yes, I just dropped by. I'm on my way out.
What brings you here at this hour?
What's with the flowers?
The flowers are for the café.
I came after I saw the light.
I wondered who arrived.
I see. Make sure to ask
Thomas to take you home.
Okay.
Be safe.
All right.
What's this?
I love this place.
Look. It's the trend
to keep things simple nowadays.
Back in my day,
floral prints and lace were in style.
Just like this.
And like this.
I'm surprised every time
you talk about the old days.
- They're pretty.
- Forget it.
They're pretty!
Gosh.
I can't say I'm happy
to see new people here.
Wook.
It's been a while.
I thought you had escaped.
I want to ask you a few things.
You jumped into the Han River?
Did you commit suicide?
People these days call it,
"taking one's life."
"Taking one's life"? Please.
Committing suicide is a sin.
- I'm sure he had his reasons.
- What kind of reasons?
What about your family?
Didn't you think of your family who would
be heartbroken reading your note?
They must be crying
their eyes out right now.
I bet not.
Because I'm a loser.
My parents are both distinguished judges.
My old brother is a high-paid attorney.
But I was never good at school
or anything else.
So my parents were always ashamed of me.
I was an embarrassment to my family.
- What was that for?
- You're so childish.
- Do you really think that's how they feel?
- You don't know them.
I'm a mother too.
Just as we all look different,
we also have different ways
of expressing our feelings.
Every parent wishes the best
for their children.
And you drove a knife
through their hearts.
Even so, you shouldn't have
taken your life like that.
It's better that I'm gone.
Drink it before it gets cold.
It will soothe you.
Is it okay if we talk here?
This is the only quiet place I know.
Welcome, Kim.
Yeo-na, you're back.
Did he just call me Kim?
Yes, I think so.
I let things slide only because
you're the head of the village.
But I'm older than you.
This place is crowded.
Let's go for a walk.
Are they dating?
No, I don't think so.
Mr. Jang and my husband
are patrolling the village.
Goodness. How could they be so careless?
Where did I see that person before?
You're not on good terms
with that woman, right?
There's nothing between us.
She always gets angry at me,
so I try to avoid her.
She's overly protective of her kid.
She makes me feel miserable
that I grew up without a mother.
My mom ran away
when I was in kindergarten.
Since then, I grew up
in a children's home.
I grew up in a children's home too.
- You too?
- Yes.
I was abandoned in front of a church
as soon as I was born.
I moved around from one home to another.
Then I started living on my own
after graduating from high school.
Interesting.
Since I started working, I've never met
anyone from a children's home.
You moved around? Why?
There was a fire
at the first children's home I was at.
It's really horrible
now that I think about it,
but I just accepted it then.
A lot of kids died in that fire.
I was very lucky.
- Do you remember the name of the place?
- Yes. Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
Why do you ask?
Blue Sunshine Children's Home.
More than ten kids died
and only three survived.
Did something happen
at that children's home?
Sorry?
One of the survivors from the fire
is a close friend of mine.
- His name is Kim Nam-guk.
- Kim Nam-guk?
Well, I don't really remember him.
- What about Jang Myeong-gyu?
- I remember him. He called me recently.
I didn't remember who it was at first.
He brought up the children's home
and said we should meet sometime.
Jang Myeong-gyu…
Is dead.
Nam-guk…
Also died after he got a call
from Jang Myeong-gyu.
What?
I think there's a connection
between the three cases.
So the people who killed them…
Are the ones who came to my house?
Perhaps.
You go crazy for meat.
Why aren't you eating?
I'm already going crazy.
I know you are.
How could you not,
after what happened to you?
But the living should keep living.
You once said that
the reason I'm able to see the dead
is because of some grudge I'm holding.
I guess it must be because of Nam-guk.
I'm meant to catch the guys
who killed Nam-guk.
- Because the answer is right here.
- So that's why you didn't go.
- Go where?
- You slept like a log.
Then you just disappeared,
so I thought you were gone for good.
You showed up without a word,
so I figured you left that way too.
You never had manners.
But…
You didn't leave.
Where would I go?
I already paid for the room.
I'm not going. I can't leave.
Fine.
If you insist, I'll cut your rent in half
for the time being.
But what you paid upfront is a done deal.
That's so unfair!
You scolded me
because I only did things for money.
Now I see that you're the one
who's crazy about money!
Look at all that!
You collected them for money, didn't you?
Who doesn't like money?
And don't talk with your mouth full.
It's disgusting.
Then don't eat if you're disgusted!
I'm going to eat it all!
It's so good.
Seriously…
SEOUL SEOBUK POLICE STATION
Hello, ma'am.
I want to ask you a few things
about the case.
BLUE SUNSHINE CHILDREN'S HOME
MISSING AND MURDER CASE
Do you recognize them?
They used to be at the home
where you worked.
I know Myeong-gyu and Yeo-na.
This one must be Nam-guk.
Yeo-na is currently missing
and the other two are dead.
They're dead?
The search for Mr. Ko,
who jumped into the Han River
last night after leaving a will,
has been going on for 14 hours.
Next up.
It's been 17 days since Ms. Choi Yeo-na,
a woman in her twenties, went missing,
but she is yet to be found.
The police and the fire department
are now investigating...
You want me to disappear, don't you?
Would it make you happy
if I went away?
If I say yes,
will you go away?
Mother…
Based on the timeline,
she was last seen going home
on the evening of June 7th.
We got a few reports, so I checked,
but none of them led to anything.
What about the possibility of
a kidnapping or another crime?
It's too early to jump to conclusions.
Let's keep looking.
Have you seen this woman?
She lives next door.
I haven't seen her in days.
- If you see her, please call this number.
- Okay.
I heard people outside
are looking for Yeo-na.
She's all over the news and the papers.
What's the point? Yeo-na is already dead
and the guys fled to China.
The Interpol put out an APB.
It'll be hard to find the culprit in China
with only a face caught on camera.
If they go into hiding,
we'll never find them.
I'm sure they killed these two
and even took Yeo-na.
This is our lead.
Nam-guk said he didn't know them.
Same with Yeo-na.
Anyway, they didn't do it
because of a personal grudge.
Someone is behind the whole thing.
- To kill the three of them?
- Someone gave the order.
It's most likely a contract killing
or an abduction.
So who gave the order?
How am I supposed to know that?
We must find them.
Bastards…
- Did you put up with what he did?
- Of course I fought back.
But it was no use.
He was way richer and stronger than me.
I'm sure he's living the dream now.
I studied the law
in order to catch bastards like that.
You're right, Bong-hwan.
You would've become a great judge.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Did you just call me?
The woman you were with
at the café last night.
- What about her?
- Her name is Choi Yeo-na, isn't it?
I knew it.
Before I jumped into the river,
I saw reports of her disappearance.
What a coincidence!
There's nothing good
about seeing her here.
Why do you look so happy?
Please let her know.
People outside are looking hard for her.
She's constantly on the news
and the police are searching everywhere.
Tell her to keep her chin up,
since the whole country
is worried about her.
Please give Ms. Choi that message.
Are you in a position to cheer someone up?
Let go.
I always believed that I was useless.
But things are different here.
People see me for the person I am
and they listen without judging you
for your background.
I love being here.
What's happening?
Goodbye.
Mr. Nosy.
You really made him disappear.
You damned pervert.
Didn't I tell you to get lost?
It was your doing, right? That guy.
How did you do that?
You may be able to deceive the others,
but not me.
You bastard.
I should be the one saying that.
I know what you did to
that middle school girl nine years ago.
I know what you did
to that housewife eight years ago.
- How do you know all that?
- Should I keep going?
Just because you're dead
doesn't mean your sins are forgiven.
People like you will pay the price
for a long time even after you die!
How the hell did he find out?
Hey, Yeo-na. Come here.
- We have some big news!
- What is it?
Beom-su, tell us what you said earlier.
What did Uncle Bong-hwan say?
Please let her know.
People outside are looking hard for her.
She's constantly on the news
and the police are searching everywhere.
She'll be found soon.
Tell her to keep her chin up,
since the whole country
is worried about her.
Please give Ms. Choi that message.
There must be an open search.
The police…
Jun-ho…
And then…
He disappeared like that.
Seeing how he left so soon,
his family must've searched all night.
What did I say? That brat.
His parents did care about him.
Anyway, good for you.
You'll be found soon.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Beom-su, you did a great job.
- No.
It's what Uncle Bong-hwan told big bro.
He heard it.
So what?
He kept it to himself
without passing on the message.
He probably meant to do it later.
He should've told her right away!
It's such great news!
He's a jerk, that's why.
Jun-ho…
He's looking for me.
Sometime between the morning
and 6:00 p.m. on the 8th.
Damn, are you watching it again?
You must've seen it around 100 times.
- Did you eat dinner?
- I'm not hungry.
Hey, where are you going?
There's a camera blind spot
near Yeo-na's apartment.
I'm going to find a car parked nearby
and check the dashcam.
Jeez…
That car doesn't have a dashcam.
- What about this one?
- They're not picking up.
Why don't you transfer to my team?
You belong with us
rather than the Crimes Division.
You can only investigate robberies
and murders after they happen,
but missing persons cases
are always ongoing.
Once you give up on searching, it's over.
That's why you must do whatever you can,
whether you go to a shaman
or a fortune teller,
just like what you're doing now.
I'm not investigating a case now.
I'm looking for my fiancée.
That's it.
That's how we always feel
when we handle these cases.
We don't look for the culprit.
We look for people.

"And the rest of the shares
of Choiseung Construction
will be left to my grandson
or my granddaughter."
"However, at the time of my death,
if my grandson
or my granddaughter isn't found,
Han Sang-gil, Yoo Seong-ho,
and Lee Dong-min will inherit
one-third of the shares each."
You have been with the company
since the beginning.
Mrs. Han. A grandson or a granddaughter?
- You don't even have a child. So how...
- Get back to your work now.
"Give shares to her grandson
or granddaughter"?
I heard it too.
It doesn't make sense at all!
She doesn't have a child.
How can she have a grandchild?
Does she have another child
other than the crazy daughter who died?
Watch your mouth.
Don't just spit out
whatever comes to mind.
What did I do so wrong?
HAN YEO-HUI
Time to eat.
Come here!
- Where are you going?
- I need to drop by somewhere.
I also have to bring
a few things from home.
- You do? I'll come with you.
- What's gotten into you?
The other day, you dressed up
in a suit to go meet a woman.
Cut the nonsense.
I can go grocery shopping while I'm out.
We're out of instant coffee.
It's strange. The coffee Thomas makes
isn't tasty at all.
It's not sweet either.
I like it. How tacky of you.
You think you know about coffee?
You go first.
Put it here.
This is it, right?
There's nothing else downstairs?
Thanks for your help.
I'll buy you a meal next time.
Buy it today.
Since I was discharged, all I got is time.
No. I need to go somewhere.
Shouldn't you be practicing?
Trainees these days
don't practice hard enough.
I heard it used to be intense in the past.
That's not it.
I just have a lot on my mind.
I don't know when I'll be able to debut.
I wonder if I need to work part-time
to make some pocket money.
Then work here.
Three hours a day,
1,000 won more than the minimum wage.
And when I'm out,
you can lock up and practice.
Are you serious? Really?
You can't take it back!
I'll start tomorrow!
But if you're late three times,
it's a warning.
Three absences, you're out.
Got it.
MY BELOVED SON, WOOK
WE'LL HAVE TO BE APART FOR A WHILE
I PROMISE TO COME BACK FOR YOU
You're taking all that?
It's a small house. Don't pack too much.
I told you it wouldn't take long.
Why did you come in? Stop nagging at me.
I didn't just come in. I had to pee.
- You startled me.
- Are you moving?
What brings you here?
Let's talk for a bit.
He always ends up making me work.
Now I have to pack all this.
What is this wig? What a weirdo.
Wook, I'm here!
Goodness.
What are you doing here?
- Where's Wook?
- He stepped out for a bit.
Hello? Yes, that's right.
I saw your flyer.
Where are you now?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Hey, Miss. Can I borrow your car?
No way. My insurance doesn't cover you.
I'm not sure if I can find a cab here.
This is driving me crazy.
Can't you go faster?
The speed limit here is 60km/h
and I'm driving at 60 now.
Gosh, I shouldn't.
Did you find the guys who killed Nam-guk?
I guess you didn't.
Then why did you come here?
We found Ha-neul in a water tank,
but you said you saw him in the woods.
There you go again.
You knew about the scar on his wrist.
You knew who the culprit was
before the police.
That's not true.
You put a GPS tracker under the car
the guys who killed Kim Nam-guk
were driving.
- You're always a step ahead of me.
- So what are you trying to say?
Are you here to complain
about how it hurt your pride?
Choi Yeo-na.
You saw reports of
her disappearance, right?
The guys who killed Kim Nam-guk
abducted this woman too.
I'm not sure if you see ghosts
or you're simply crazy,
but if you have such a power…
Please help me.
First you treated me like a lunatic.
Now you're treating me
like a fortune teller.
If you have time for this,
go catch the culprit.
I'm busy too.
We don't have time!
Someone's life is at stake!
On the news, they said
it's been more than ten days.
- Do you believe she's still alive?
- She is alive.
I believe it.
That's why I'm willing to do
anything I can to find her.
- She looks like a part-timer I know.
- So where is she? Which store?
I'm not 100% sure of it.
Is there a reward?
- As long as I can find my daughter.
- I see.
24 HOUR COIN LAUNDRY
Look.
She looks exactly like
the girl in the flyer, right?
- Which store is this?
- Gosh.
I can't disclose
personal information like that.
I'll check again to see
if she's the same girl,
so get the money ready.
Why does he look so intimated?
Is he in debt?
- Was that guy harassing you?
- No.
Let's go. Wook must be waiting.
I don't care about other stuff,
but I can't stand people
who pull power trips on the weak.
If that brat ever gives you a hard time,
you let me know. I'll show him who's boss.
So get the money ready.
I'll send you her photo
and phone number once I get paid.
Are you ignoring me?
ILGONG COLD STORAGE
Why are we here?
These are the places they went to.
Except for Nam-guk's place,
they spend most of their time here.
The police already checked
their photos and asked...
I don't have any affiliations
or connections,
so I don't ask others to do my job.
And I don't trust anyone.
He fell from pretty high up,
so he might be dead.
If he's dead, there should be a body.
So he's alive, after all.
How dare he come here?
- Yeo-na, what are you doing?
- Gosh, you surprised me!
I'm trying to start a fire.
- A campfire?
- No.
I want to make some smoke
to send a message to someone far away.
But smoke can't talk.
In the past, there were no cars or phones,
so when people wanted to send
an urgent message to someone far away,
they used smoke.
What message do you want to send?
"I'm here."
"So…"
"Come and find me."
Let's eat roasted sweet potatoes!
I'll ask Thomas for some sweet potatoes.
And some potatoes too.
Have you seen this woman?
- No, I've never seen her.
- How about these people?
If you see them, please call this number.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- You want some, Yeo-na?
- No, thanks. You can have it all.
Were you able to send your message?
I don't know. I hope people see the smoke.
Should I go and call them?
I'm not talking about the people
in this village.
Okay, I see.
I cleaned up the room inside,
so unpack there.
You didn't say a word in the car.
You seemed upset.
Where did you go with Jong-a?
Or did you have a fight with her?
I'm too old to have a fight
with a young lady.
I must take a nap before I go patrolling.
You did fight with her!
You must have lost to her.
Jong-a's a scary girl.
You'd better be careful.
Big bro.
Yeo-na. I brought him here.
You can play with her now.
- I'm going to go to Jun-su's.
- Okay.
I'll take these with me!
What are you doing here?
As you can see,
I'm using a classic method,
but no one's coming.
Are you trying to make some smoke
and call people here?
Come on, it's the 21st century.
A kite would've worked better
than sending smoke signals.
That's right. A kite!
What?
- Don't tell me you're thinking of a kite...
- What are you doing tonight?
Is Detective Shin Jun-ho your fiancé?
His name is written here.
Yes.
He's a big shot detective,
so he's super busy.
So I had to prepare
for the wedding all by myself.
We didn't even get to do a photo shoot yet.
But I'm sure he'll come to find me
once he sees this.
He'll come to find you
even if you don't do this.
I'm sure he's put his life on hold
to look for you.
Is Jun-ho looking for me?
Did Mr. Ko Bong-hwan
say anything about Jun-ho too?
No, it's just my guess.
You said he's a big shot detective.
His fiancée's gone missing,
so I'm sure he's trying his best.
Please let these fly far away
and reach someone.
Please let him know that I'm here.
Please…
It's like we're at a festival.
Aren't they pretty?
Yes.
They're beautiful.
- That one is the most beautiful one.
- No, that one is!
- That one is the most beautiful one.
- No, the other one is better!
- Let's go back inside, boys.
- Can't we play a little longer?
They're still so sparkly!
Let's go inside
before the scary guy shows up.
What's that?
Isn't it obvious?
They are wishes.
They are someone's earnest wishes.
Just like mine.
I'll take the moldy wallpaper off
and repaper the room,
so go sleep in that room from now on.
There's no need for that.
It's all right.
It's not like I'll live here for good.
The lanterns in the sky earlier
were a piece of art.
Don't even get me started.
You have no idea how hard it was.
Yeo-na is very openhanded.
I think we made around 100.
That's how desperate she is to reach him.
I'm sure she's willing to do anything.
Do you believe she's still alive?
I believe it.
That's why I'm willing to do
anything I can to find her.
Mr. Jang.
Do you believe in miracles?
I guess the fact that we're able to see
the villagers is a miracle in itself.
Oh, Mr. Jang. I have a question.
How can you doze off
in the middle of a conversation?
That's another miracle.
Beom-su, where did you get that?
- Over there. There's a whole bunch!
- Whose is it?
Yeo-na and Shin Jun-ho's.
I saw many more,
so you can play with them too.
Really? I want one too!
- Shall we go and look for some?
- Yes!
Let's go.
I feel frustrated
even without the ankle monitor.
It's all his fault!
- Did you find anything there?
- No.
Where is it?
- I found one!
- Where?
Beom-su, look at this.
It's not torn at all.
I want a new one too.
- Do you want to switch?
- No.
They were all over the ground.
This won't make anyone come here.
Whether you start a fire or scream…
It will never reach the real world.
I think she still can't accept that.
By the way, who is Shin Jun-ho?
- A detective.
- The one who came to see you yesterday.
Right?
- Yes.
- Are you close to him?
No.
If you're not close,
why was his name on the lantern?
Oh, Yeo-na knows him.
- How?
- How?
I have no idea.
Why are you so interested in
her private life?
If you're that curious, go and ask her.
Why are you getting upset?
Kim, I like everything about you
except for your fiery temper.
This is ridiculous.
I didn't get upset at you
and I don't have a fiery temper.
And how much longer
are you going to call me "Kim"?
- If you keep that up, I'll kill you.
- I'm already dead.
I mean I'll make you pay.
Your last name is Kim.
What else should I call you?
Wook, or brother.
- There are nicer and sweeter terms.
- Hey! Stop being cranky to Thomas.
- I'll call you "brother," then.
- Okay, brother.
Bring him to me!
Let the kid go and talk to me. Okay?
Bring him to me right now!
I have nothing to say to you!
Jun-su!
- Yes, you!
- Is he the one?
Great. The person you're
looking for is here,
so please let our kid go.
Do something!
Jun-su…
This is all your fault.
You made me like this.
Cut the crap and let the kid go.
Tell me you'll get me out of here.
Then I'll let the kid go.
What?
I don't care if I go to hell
or someplace else. Please…
Just get me out of here!
You all know.
He's different from us.
What the hell are you talking about?
Even though I stabbed him,
he didn't get wounded.
He knows everything I did in the past.
He even made the guy
vanish a few days ago. I saw it myself!
Bong-hwan disappeared
because his body was found out there.
- Right, he has nothing to do with it.
- Shut up! I saw it myself!
He held that guy's hands,
and he was gone, just like that.
This man is the Grim Reaper.
You don't believe that lunatic, do you?
You want me to send you to hell?
Who says I will?
You crazy bastard!
How dare you threaten my kid
and hurt my wife?
I'll make sure you pay for this.
I'll make every moment of your life hell.
Get up!
Send me away. Please let me go!
Go home! There's nothing to see here.
- This is my photo. So it's mine.
- No, it's Mommy's.
Why is this yours when it's my photo?
You're mine, so this photo is mine too.
That tickles!
You're mine! You're mine, Wook!
This is me.
Do you think you'll recognize her
if you see her?
Of course, right away!
I'm looking for my grandchild.
Chairwoman Han has a grandchild?
There's a name,
but there's no other record.
By the way, who's Hyeon-ji?
Eat up.
He disappeared from this house.
We don't have much time.
I'm sure she's waiting for me.
Why can't the world
be rid of monsters like you?
Do you think the world will change
for the better if I disappear?
Just tell me who killed you.
