THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN
AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.
He's a very scary person.
He doesn't deserve to be called a human.
I'm okay.
But my child…
My heart breaks for her.
My Alice.
You must find her.
You must.
Please.
Please find my Alice.
Please.
Please find her.
Alice!
Alice!
Oh, no.
Ali…
She's not here.
It's going to get dark soon.
Where did she go?
Ali…
Alice.
Oh, dear.
-Ju-won.
-You hungry?
-Honey.
-Mom.
You worked so hard.
Goodness.
-What's all this?
-I brought the freshest ones for us.
Wow, you caught a lot of fish today.
I'll cook these. Go inside.
My wife is the best.
Hey! You're so silly.
Go inside.
Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat soon.
Ju-won, look how sweaty you are.
You need a shower.
I can do that later.
-I'll heat up some water.
-Oh, goodness.
Hold on a second.
Here's the rice wine
that you like so much.
It's nice how the wife that always
nagged you to quit drinking
is now pouring you a drink, right?
My swole son.
I brought you the bananas you like.
Wait a minute.
Do you even know
what the word "swole" means?
Your mom is quite trendy now.
I learned a lot living here.
Stop laughing.
Are you two happy there without me?
I met a lot of good people here,
so I'm not lonely.
Did I tell you about Alice?
She's the youngest here.
When she first arrived,
she wouldn't eat a bite.
I was worried she wasn't eating
because she didn't like my food.
But she eats when given her rice
and side dishes separately.
She is such a pretty girl.
-Hold on.
-What?
Wait. Be quiet.
Don't you hear someone crying?
What crying?
Hey, Wook!
Wook!
Alice?
Alice?
Alice, Uncle Wook is here.
Alice!
-Alice! Oh, dear.
-Here.
Alice, come here.
This way.
Upsy-daisy. Let's get you down.
My goodness.
Goodness, Alice.
-It's all right. You're okay now.
-Goodness.
Alice, are you hurt anywhere?
Let's take a look at you.
She's all right.
Why is there a boat here?
I know, right?
What's this?
Hey, Wook.
Wook.
Wook.
Look here.
Oh, dear.
Captain! Goodness.
-Goodness.
-Oh, dear.
What's the matter? Are you hurt, sweetie?
I don't think she's hurt anywhere,
but look after her.
I have to go.
Why? What's going on?
When Alice disappeared this afternoon,
we searched around the lake
and found a boat.
She was inside the boat.
A boat?
By herself?
Yes.
I'm supposed to meet
with Mr. Jang and the principal there.
-I have to go.
-Okay.
Be careful.
My sweetie.
Who did you play with on the boat?
I played with the fish.
Fish?
There's no way.
How could they have appeared there?
-We have to go this way.
-Okay.
No. It's this way.
-That's what I mean.
-Here.
Look.
-Oh, dear.
-Here.
Over here.
Alice was crying on top of this boat.
Alice was…
here?
Yes.
How did a small girl like her
get up there?
And why is this boat here?
Oh, this.
It used to be out by the lake,
but after I came here, no one used it.
The footprint! Here.
Take a look.
See this footprint here?
Look at this.
It's way bigger than mine.
This is definitely a man's footprint.
Then…
did someone know the boat was here
and try to take it to the lake?
Mr. Jung, is there anyone
that comes to mind?
In this village,
there are only weak kids, women,
and old people like me.
Who can this be?
Anyway,
we should just keep the kids
away from the lake for a while.
Yes.
You're eating so well.
All done!
Was it good?
Yes.
Alice, are you sleepy?
Want a piggyback ride?
Here.
-Twinkle, twinkle, little star
-Twinkle, twinkle, little star
-How I wonder what you are
-How I wonder what you are
I know you love
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
My mom sings it better.
Where's my mom?
There, there.
Let's get you to bed.
It's strange how Il-yong
can perfectly guess what Alice wants.
How did it go?
Was anyone there?
No. There were only traces
that someone had been there.
The footprint was larger than my own.
The principal is forbidding the kids
from going to the lake,
so keep that in mind, Captain Kang.
All right.
Where's Alice?
She's with Il-yong.
After he fed her, he put her to bed.
I didn't see a peep of him
when we were searching for her.
Why do you always get irritated
whenever we talk about Il-yong?
There's good enough reason for that.
As for Alice,
I'll keep her with me from now on,
so don't worry.
Go inside and take a seat.
I'll bring out something to eat.
-Shall we?
-Okay.
-All right.
-Go in.
Okay. Let's eat.
Today's the anniversary
of my husband and son's death.
How did they die on the same day?
My son was on vacation.
He went fishing with my husband.
And that day, huge tidal waves
came without a warning.
On the first day, only the boat came back.
On the second day…
only my son washed ashore.
My husband came on the last day.
Other fishermen brought him home.
When I saw his face
bloated from being in the water,
I was so grateful.
He stayed with Ju-won
so he wouldn't be scared
and sent him home a day earlier.
He also brought himself home.
So I was very grateful for that.
Oh, don't look so serious.
It's been more than 40 years after all.
Drink up.
Then Captain Kang…
How did you end up here?
Me?
I hated even the sight of that boat.
I wanted to set it on fire.
So I took a can of oil
and went to the dock.
The minute I saw
the name of the boat, Juwon,
my resolve wavered.
Ju-won…
JUWON
We bought that boat
in the year our son was born.
So we named it after him.
If I got rid of the boat…
it felt like the memories of our family
would also completely disappear.
Since then,
I started taking that boat out.
That's how you became a captain.
Yes. Oh, gosh.
I took that boat out thinking,
"I don't care if I die today or tomorrow."
And goodness, I lasted for five years.
I caught a lot of fish
and made a lot of money.
I also hired several sailors.
Then one day,
I was suddenly swept away
by the waves and came here.
Unfortunately, there was no one
to hold a funeral for me.
So I think the Dragon King
took me away forever.
My story is no fun, is it?
How could a story of someone dying be fun?
There's no need to be so serious.
It's normal to talk about life
both laughing and crying.
I'm a weepy mess.
Drink.
We need to toast, though.
-Yes.
-Mr. Jang keeps taking sips by himself.
Good work.
You're here.
This is the leader of the Drug Squad.
-Hello.
-Hello.
How are you feeling?
I slept all day.
They said I'd be fine
with a few good days of rest.
That's good.
I'll be outside so you two can talk.
You can stay. I just have a few questions.
I don't do drugs. I've never done them.
I'm telling the truth.
I know.
Sang-cheol…
Did you hear anything
from the man who took you?
Nothing much.
He said he'd save me if I stayed quiet.
At first, I was stuck
in a shipping container in the mountains.
A few days later
when he brought me some food,
I managed to escape.
I was so worried about my daughter
and missed her so much.
I just wanted to hear her voice.
When you called from the pay phone?
Yes.
I was caught right away.
He yelled that he was going
to get killed because of me,
and I was so scared.
Wait.
He was going to get killed? By whom?
I'm not sure.
Whenever I asked him anything,
he said it was better for me not to know.
Do you have any idea
why they might have kidnapped you?
You should ask him yourself.
He's the one who grabbed me
outside the bar.
I would also like to know
what I did wrong to be kidnapped.
Who do you think put Alice on the boat?
I find that strange too.
Don't you think there's also
a secret to this village?
A secret?
In Duon Village,
Thomas used to lock up bad people
without the villagers knowing.
I don't know about that,
but I think that boat is suspicious.
It's also strange that it's on land.
The way it was covered by the trees…
It looked as though
someone had hidden it there on purpose.
Exactly. Did you see
Captain Kang's face earlier?
Captain Kang?
When you mentioned the footprint…
The footprint was larger than my own.
She looked like she knew something
but was hesitating to say it.
If she has something to say,
she'll say it when she's ready.
There's no one I trust
more than Captain Kang.
You think she's suspicious too?
No.
I may be suspicious,
but I'm a good judge of character.
Go back to sleep.
No, it's okay.
Goodness.
I didn't mean to wake you up.
It's okay. I must have fallen asleep.
Hey.
Doesn't Alice look cute
even when she's asleep?
She's like an angel.
I know, right?
She kept calling for her mom in her sleep.
She's that age.
She should be with her mom.
Why is she here?
Goodness.
What kind of bastard
hurt an angel like her?
A piece of dung that deserves to be hung.
Hey.
Alice seems unusually attached
to you and Wook.
I want to know
what happened to that little girl,
so if there's a way to find out,
talk to Wook about it.
What?
He said he found me
suspicious and unlikable.
Is this because of me?
Because of what I told you
when you first came here?
Why is that because of you?
It's all because of me.
And to be honest,
I understand why he's suspicious of me.
I'd find myself unlikable if I were him.
Il-yong.
There's no need to tell me
everything that you saw outside,
but if there's something
that upsets you or makes you angry,
you can tell me.
It doesn't have to be me either.
If there's someone you want to confide in,
talk to that person. Okay?
I will.
SEOUN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
-Mom!
-Bo-ra!
-Bo-ra…
-Mom…
Are you hurt?
What's wrong with your face?
It's just because I have no makeup on.
I'm fine.
You must have been so worried.
Of course.
You're my mom, but you always worry me.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Let's go home, Mom.
Let's go.
Is it okay for me to go home with my mom?
About that…
The doctor said I can go home.
There are still some things
we need to investigate…
Hold on.
Why aren't you coming in?
I didn't think it was my place.
Goodness.
How is Se-yeong?
Bo-ra seems thrilled
to be going home with her mom.
But they're still in danger.
We haven't discovered
who was behind her kidnapping.
And we haven't found Detective Goh yet.
Ms. Mun will be taken
to a safe house for now.
Bo-ra…
She can stay with us.
She's gotten really close to Jong-a.
They're besties.
They're pretty similar.
Dad, Mom wants you to come in.
Dad?
Who?
I'm dependable like a dad, you know.
Go in. Bo-ra,
want to get something to drink?
Okay.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
I look awful, don't I?
You haven't changed a bit.
Oh, please.
I'm a lot more handsome now.
You really haven't changed.
You too.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Thank you for looking after Bo-ra.
Don't mention it.
And Bo-ra's dad?
She's 14 years old.
Never could I have imagined
that she'd go find you.
I'm glad that you're still
excessively virtuous.
It's because of you.
You're the one
who made me like that.
So I'm someone
important to you?
Alice?
Her name is Alice?
We asked her what her name was,
and she said she's Alice.
She never says much.
She's so cute.
She's too young,
so she can't talk precisely,
but I think she's
from a multiracial family.
Okay.
NAME: LEE ALICE
YEAR OF DISAPPEARANCE: 2022
She's not in
the missing children's database.
Maybe it's not her real name.
Or maybe she hasn't been reported.
Ro-ha wasn't reported missing either.
He came to the village eight years ago,
and no one has ever looked for him.
Il-yong went to his home,
and other people were living there.
And Yeong-rim's family all moved overseas.
-Overseas?
-Yes.
No wonder I couldn't find
an address for him.
But how did you find out all of this?
Il-yong told me.
Il-yong?
That Il-yong guy…
What did he major in?
Something to do with IT?
How did he find their addresses?
Did he hear it from them?
I don't know.
-According to him--
-Wait!
No. I don't want to hear this.
Don't tell me.
I'll do this my way.
I'll call you when I find
all the people on this list.
-I'll find them as fast as I can.
-Okay.
Goodness.
Why so sassy with me?
Gosh.
Why is she becoming like Wook?
Are you busy?
Come with me if you have time.
No.
You said you wanted to know
what I spend my time doing.
I want you to see for yourself.
What are you up to?
Punk.
Are you going on another picnic?
Alice, you too?
Hi, Mr. Jang.
Well, hello.
You should say "Hello."
I made some porridge
for the crybaby detective
since he's been crying
in his room all day.
Here, I'll carry it.
It's not heavy at all.
Captain Kang.
You think I'd carry it if it were heavy?
Give me that.
Let's go.
Why are you still acting like this?
I heard you didn't
eat anything yesterday either.
I brought you some porridge.
Get up and eat some.
Go outside and get some sun too.
I know it feels like your whole world
has come crashing down,
but it will get better in a few days.
Mr. Lee Gwang-taek?
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm Detective Shin Jun-ho
of the Missing Persons Team.
So what?
Do you know Goh Sang-cheol?
He's been reported missing.
-Never heard of him.
-You really don't?
I heard that you know him well.
What idiot said that to you?
Now, don't be like that.
Take a good look.
He may be someone you know.
Never seen him before. Don't know him.
Wait…
Lee Gwang-taek, Goliath…
Names I heard
while searching for Detective Goh.
I went to see Lee Gwang-taek today.
The jerk completely denied knowing him.
Gwang-taek?
Gwang-taek?
He asked me if Gwang-taek sent me.
Goliath?
I can't find Detective Goh
without your cooperation, sir.
You know that better than anyone.
Go see your son Ro-ha.
And don't come back.
Are you going to Seoul?
I happily drive all this way
for the extra cash,
but the problem is
going all the way back to Seoul.
I get sleepy too.
Goodness.
You were released?
What?
Oh, this?
Yes. I got out today.
It must have been tough.
Congratulations.
But no welcome committee?
I wrote a letter
saying I'd get home on my own.
I was too ashamed.
I wasn't much of a father or husband.
How long has it been?
It's been nine years.
I can't apologize enough
to my wife and kid.
Wow. Nine years…
Your kid must have grown so big.
The last time I saw him, he was eight.
He must be in high school now.
I'm worried
that I might not recognize him.
You've never seen him since then?
After the trial,
I told my wife not to come visit me.
I said I'd send her the money
I make working inside,
so she should just pretend that I'm gone
and live like others
so our son wouldn't be discouraged.
I told her I'd pay for my crimes
and proudly walk out to see her.
I only have a picture
from when my kid was young.
I imagined countless times
what he would look like.
I wonder how he's grown up.
You didn't have to give me a ride
all the way here. Thank you.
It's been fun.
Whose home is it?
It's Ro-ha's home.
Ro-ha's name is Lee Ro-ha.
It says Byeon Seok-ha here.
This is the house Ro-ha used to live in.
Someone else seems to live here now.
But here's a letter addressed to Ro-ha.
Take a look.
He's been sending letters here
not knowing that they moved?
SENDER: LEE JIN-SEONG
RECIPIENT: LEE RO-HA
Someone's coming.
Sender, Lee Jin-seong…
Seoul…
"Ro-ha."
"Your foolish father
can now finally go home."
He still doesn't know
that Ro-ha disappeared?
He must be in prison.
You were just a little boy
when I last saw you.
You must be so big now.
I'm going to work hard to become
a dad you can be proud of.
And…
I'll try my best to make up
for all of the past years.
Let's go on trips, the three of us,
and be happy together.
BYEON SEOK-HA
Who are you?
I'm sorry, but when did you move in?
It's been a while.
Do you know where
the previous residents went?
No, I don't.
Let's go, Ha-il.
Hurry up.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Ro-ha.
Let's have fun today
with Mom and Dad, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go!
OUR HAPPY FAMILY
LEE JIN-SEONG, GOH EUN-JEONG, LEE RO-HA
BYEON SEOK-HA
This is so sad.
You didn't tell him about Ro-ha, did you?
I couldn't.
I dropped him off at his house and left.
What happened to Ro-ha's mom?
Was she in the same accident as Ro-ha?
Then she'd be here with Ro-ha.
Ro-ha's dad will go look for her now.
He's been waiting to see them
for nine years.
I don't think he'll give up easily.
He shouldn't.
Ms. Lee!
You're going to overwork yourself.
Take it easy!
-That goes to the kitchen.
-Okay.
You've been working here by yourself?
-You should've told me.
-I was wrapping up the kitchen.
After we finish setting the tables,
we can open in a few days.
Take it easy! No one's rushing you.
No!
We need to get the equipment in here fast
and find the kids.
This is now a matter of pride.
The key is to find information
quickly and precisely.
Oh Il-yong isn't listening in, is he?
Ma'am, could you come take a look?
I'm coming!
Bye.
Il-yong listening?
And what key was she talking about?
She just wants to find those kids
as fast as she can.
You know what Ms. Lee is like.
I should go take care of my business too.
Where are you going?
To the school.
That kid wearing a white shirt.
His name is Lee Ro-ha.
He's been here for eight years.
There are other kids
who have been here longer though.
So what?
Ro-ha is not even listed as missing.
Either no one is looking for him,
or no one knows that he's missing.
That…
That's not comforting at all.
It wasn't meant to be.
I was just talking about Ro-ha.
That's the situation he's in.
This place is full of people who died
but whose bodies haven't been found.
We're all in the same situation.
You look like death.
What's wrong with a dead man
looking like death?
Don't get all mad.
You're so weird.
Very weird.
Detective Goh, come here! Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
Goodness.
Isn't Ro-ha's dad getting out today?
I thought you were going to get him.
I gave him a ride home.
He'll know by now that Ro-ha is gone.
But he won't know that he's dead.
He'll find out someday.
Detective Goh!
Wait.
There used to be, but not anymore.
It's a bad boat,
so the grown-ups got rid of it.
Why did she call it a bad boat?
Hey. Ms. Ahn.
Mr. Jang's going to help
with the flags for our field day.
Welcome.
I'll go get the flags from the classroom.
Sure.
Whose drawing is this?
It's Alice's.
I told her to draw what she did that day.
There are two people in the boat.
Who is this other person?
If it was a stranger,
she would have been scared.
-You're right.
-Yes.
She wasn't.
She drew the boat big
and colored it yellow.
This signifies that she felt safe
and had fun in the boat.
You can tell that from the drawing?
She used to be an art therapist.
-See the fish in the boat?
-Yes.
Something that should be
in the water is outside.
It's a fantasy-changing method
that five-year-olds often show.
They don't use that if they feel uneasy.
So she had a fun time in the boat?
Do you know who among the villagers
has played with Alice?
I'm not sure.
But I still don't understand.
Ha-yun said something strange
to Yeong-rim.
She said it was a bad boat,
so the grown-ups got rid of it.
A "bad boat"?
Was there an accident involving the boat?
Do you know anything about it?
Well, when I came here,
the boat was already on land.
We should ask Captain Kang.
She's been here the longest.
Why do you want to know that?
The woman you kidnapped.
Se-yeong and I…
Are you two lovers?
Well…
We know each other well.
Doesn't that usually mean
that they're lovers?
Not now.
So former lovers?
I don't know what this is about,
but I want to hear it too.
My first assignment in the Drug Squad
was an undercover job.
It was a drug cartel
that operated on social media sites.
The drug lord's ID is Goliath.
He advertises in a secret chat room,
and buyers order using cryptocurrency.
I'D LIKE TO PURCHASE
When payment is confirmed,
they drop off the drugs.
They used to operate in small groups
but got bigger in the past two years.
They sell both wholesale and retail.
Even if we catch the underlings,
the drug cartel won't be revealed.
NAME: GOH SANG-CHEOL
(UNDERCOVER)
So we sent in Sang-cheol undercover.
You said he was a newbie.
His face wasn't known.
It was a classified investigation
even only a few in our team knew about.
Why is a drug cartel
kidnapping and killing people?
They're afraid of nothing.
If any of their clients fail
to pay back their due credit,
-they cut out their organs and sell them.
-Goodness.
Sell what?
Crazy bastards.
What?
They're harvesting organs domestically
and selling them?
Those bastards.
It's hard to do it here,
so they kidnap people
and send them to China for the operation.
Most are anesthetized, put in a box,
and loaded onto a smuggler's boat.
Choi Jeong-ah died in the box.
They told me to
secretly get rid of her body,
but I left her on the beach
so that the police would find her.
But why did you kidnap Se-yeong?
She told me she never did drugs.
I received a text message while working.
I don't know the reason.
I just do it when the order is given.
Who gives you the orders?
Goliath.
That was D-day.
Lots of drugs were coming in,
and Goliath was supposed to show up.
Sang-cheol sent me the changed location,
but I lost contact with him after that.
So you need Detective Goh
to catch Goliath?
If anything happens to Sang-cheol…
Will she be okay?
She's probably alive, right?
She will be okay.
Thank you
for saving Se-yeong.
That's why I became a police officer.
To protect the safety
and the lives of the people.
But now, that's all over.
Oh, dear…
I'm so proud of you.
Our crybaby detective.
Here. Eat this as you talk.
How did you end up here, Detective Goh?
What do you remember last?
Gwang-taek.
I was held captive in a container.
Then Gwang-taek stabbed me.
Which country's flag is this?
Is this the top? Or is this the top?
Can't you tell?
It's a flag of an imaginary country.
Just put it up anyhow you want.
No one would know
even if you hang it upside down.
Not even the kid who drew it.
Ro-ha drew this.
Isn't it good?
Ro-ha is a talented artist.
He has a good eye and is very expressive.
His dream is to be an artist.
He said his dream was
to come in first in a race.
The first place prize is
an easel and a paint set.
I think he wants to win the race
because of the prize.
Maybe there's also another reason.
Ms. Ahn, you know a lot about the kids.
Is it because you talk to them often?
Some kids tell me their stories,
and others, I guess
from looking at their drawings.
Can you show me the drawings?
I'd like your interpretations as well.
Sure. I can do that.
Please!
-Okay.
-Thanks.
Take care of it and send it up.
What brings you here?
I was directed here
by the local substation.
LEE JIN-SEONG
WIFE: GOH EUN-JEONG, CHILD: LEE RO-HA
NOVEMBER 6, 2014
JEONGSEONG MAEUM HOSPITAL
Okay.
For the past eight years, there's been
no sign that Goh Eun-jeong is alive.
We've looked for her
among unclaimed bodies
and unidentified bodies
that died of unnatural causes.
Unnatural causes?
Yes. We looked just in case
but couldn't find her.
So we searched the medical records
at the National Health Insurance Service.
Then…
was my wife hurt?
It's not that.
She's in a mental hospital.
Then what about Ro-ha?
Is he there with her?
No.
Only your wife is there.
Why don't you go see your wife
and ask her where your son is?
JEONGSEONG MAEUM HOSPITAL
She was an alcoholic and severely
delusional at the time of hospitalization.
Her state hasn't improved,
so she's been a long-term inpatient.
An alcoholic?
She can't drink even a drop of alcohol.
Who signed the consent form?
She did it herself.
This is her room.
Honey.
Eun-jeong.
It's me.
What are you doing here?
Where is our Ro-ha?
Our son, Ro-ha.
Get a hold of yourself, Eun-jeong!
Ro-ha. Where's our Ro-ha?
Where's Ro-ha?
You must not aggravate the patient.
Our son, Ro-ha!
You need to leave now.
Honey!
Hey, Detective Oh.
You must not aggravate the patient!
Let's take a look at the records
of the patients in this hospital.
Yes, sir.
It's nice here.
It's where kids draw and get counseling.
So you wanted to see their drawings.
Yes. You can read their thoughts
from their drawings.
It's so fascinating.
Show me Ro-ha's drawings.
He's really good at drawing.
Okay.
He used a lot of green in his drawings.
Eun-hee did a good job
of keeping all the drawings.
Ro-ha has been here for eight years,
so these drawings have been here
even before I got here.
You know…
The drawings all seem the same.
Ro-ha drew this when he just arrived here.
He drew the forest and trees.
The forest is dark,
and the trees are dark as well,
as if light can't get through.
I can feel fear from the drawing.
The tree trunk narrows as it goes up.
It's seen from a child's viewpoint.
The surrounding area is
also very detailed.
I think it's a place
somewhere in his memories.
A place he's actually seen or has been to?
Yes.
What's this?
Ms. Ahn, are you here?
-Yes.
-Okay.
Oh, you're also here, Mr. Jang.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
You'll know when you get there.
-There they are.
-Hurry up. Come on!
What are you doing?
Being late is like a sickness for you.
Mr. Jang, you're sick? Are you okay?
Who, me?
I'm fine. Why?
You've got a case of narcissism.
I mean, look at him.
He arrives last
to grab everyone's attention.
But when I was in a bind,
he didn't even show up to help.
He showed up after I took care of--
Gosh. What did you feed him
that he's so talkative?
Why are all these people here?
There's going to be a field day
in a few days,
so we gathered here.
Your hand's salty!
Salty.
Goodness.
Why is everyone here over a field day?
It's the biggest event of the year.
We need to have a meeting to prepare.
It's a huge event.
Everyone seems to be here.
Go ahead, Mr. Jung.
You can divide people
into two groups just like that.
Next is the mission race.
For the first leg of the race,
should it be running
with candy in the mouth?
Or running after eating sticky rice cakes
without using your hands?
-Mr. Jung?
-Yes?
Even when eating them normally,
sticky rice cakes
-can get stuck in your throat.
-Right.
Wouldn't it block your throat
if you eat them and run?
I think just eating it using your hands
or running while holding it
in your mouth would be better.
Captain Kang has a point.
Okay.
Then…
Let's make it
running with a sticky rice cake
held between the teeth.
Is this something that warrants
such serious attention?
I told you.
They're dead serious about this.
It reminds me of the old days. I like it.
-Yes.
-Wait!
Anyone volunteering as staff?
We can do it!
-Let go. Do it by yourself.
-Let's do it together.
The event staff will be
Il-yong and Detective Goh.
Do whatever you want.
Why aren't you doing anything?
Excuse me.
He's going to do it too.
What are you doing?
Dragging me into this?
What's so wrong with
dragging you a little?
He has a point.
Whose side are you on?
Well, I'm on--
There are no sides here.
What are we going to do here?
We're going to practice running today.
Yes!
I practiced running this morning too.
Really?
Man or woman, young or old…
Everyone is really serious
about this field day.
Kindergarten, lower grades,
and upper grades.
We'll divide them into those three
and each of us can take a team.
Hey, Detective Goh.
Where's this passion coming from?
You rarely sound enthusiastic.
I do my best at the job I'm assigned,
even if I don't like it.
This is why I like you so much.
I also do my best at my job.
I don't trust you yet.
I'll take the upper grades.
Then I'll…
A kindergartener called dibs on me.
Let's go.
I have to study for exams.
Where are you taking me?
You'll do well on exams
only if you study every day.
Cramming doesn't work.
You should be studying regularly.
I do, and today is just another day.
No, it's not.
Janggun and Meonggun, you're coming too!
Bo-ra, get Jjamppong.
What's special about today?
Today?
It's the opening day of the café.
You said you'd help out when it opened.
There's going to be a lot of people
since it's the first day.
A new café opening and all, you know?
Janggun, Meonggun, let's go!
Is this the right place?
My goodness. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes.
-Mister!
-Mister!
Mister!
-Hello.
-Hello.
Hi. Welcome.
Get in.
-I'm riding in the front!
-No, me!
-Rock, paper, scissors!
-Rock, paper, scissors!
-I'll go in the front.
-Look.
SO GOOD COFFEE
Ta-da!
What do you think?
Let's go.
This is your new house.
Stay here.
Can I take Jjamppong inside?
No.
Jjamppong can't go inside yet.
But I want to take him inside.
You can't.
Jjamppong, you stay here for a bit.
Let's stay here, Jjamppong.
But…
There are no passersby here.
No one's going to come all this way.
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday, dear Bo-ra
-Happy birthday, dear Bo-ra
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
Wait.
You have to make a wish first.
Happy birthday!
-Happy birthday, Bo-ra.
-Happy birthday.
Hey, wait.
Wait a minute.
There we go.
Bo-ra, open these later.
Okay. Thank you.
Happy birthday!
What's going on?
You said it was your café opening.
It is the café opening,
as well as your birthday party.
Have fun with your friends.
Girls, I prepared lots of food.
-Okay.
-Eat up before it gets cold.
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
The surprise was a total success.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
For everything.
Let's eat.
Look at this.
We have to get it on her face.
Mr. Jang, Wook. Come here for a second.
Okay.
Ta-da!
This is our new hideout.
Wow!
This is…
This is far better
than the office at the pawnshop.
The pawnshop was quite secure
and nice too.
This place is much safer and more secure.
I have special security cameras
all over the place.
Emergency alarms, security cameras,
wiretapping detection, fire detection,
magnet detection, and even motion sensors,
all operating simultaneously.
If we have an invader, the system will
send out warning texts first,
then send a real-time video
to our cell phones.
So it's automatically
reported to the police?
No.
The victim must report it directly
according to the law.
So I've set up the system
to send the data to all of us.
When you first mentioned opening a café,
I was wondering why you'd do that
all of a sudden.
So this was the real reason.
I'm so glad that Jong-a is on our side.
Was that faster than before?
Not at all. It's the same.
You've done enough for today.
Let's continue tomorrow.
All your friends went home.
See? It's going to turn dark soon.
Let me do this just one more time.
Blow the whistle for me.
Get ready.
This is really the last time.
Okay.
Thanks to Detective Goh,
Mun Se-yeong was saved.
He saved me too.
He couldn't save himself, though.
He was stabbed by Lee Gwang-taek
in a container at Wondo Port.
We'd searched all the containers.
Please find our poor
crybaby detective quickly.
I will.
Your help was crucial this time.
Obviously. I've always been a big help.
Remember all the information I provided?
You've just forgotten, that's all.
What is it? What's wrong?
I only have my suspicions right now,
so I can't tell you.
Detective Shin,
answer right away whenever I call.
If anything happens to me,
it's all your fault.
Got it?
Call the police
if I don't come back in ten minutes.
Sorry? Oh, okay.
I'd heard that a drunk customer
was passed out in the room.
Since it happens often,
I went inside without thinking much of it.
But when I saw her, she didn't seem drunk.
Drugs?
Yes. It looked like she was on drugs.
Detective Shin, show her the picture.
Okay.
Was it
this person?
Yes.
It was her.
Was there someone else
in the room with her?
Someone else?
There was a man.
The one who kidnapped you?
No. It wasn't him.
What?
Come drink with me. Come in.
Come in.
You've got the wrong room.
This is it!
Hey, Jong-a!
I'm coming in!
Oh, gosh.
I told you it's not.
Stay right there!
I'll be right back after I pee!
Who is inside
that there are even bodyguards?
What man?
The woman was passed out,
but the man was fine,
so I asked him if he was with her.
Are you with her?
No.
I thought it was my room.
He said no.
He said he came in
thinking it was his room.
He slammed into me
as he was rushing to leave.
He dropped something on the ground.
What was it?
It was a mask.
Wait.
By any chance…
did it look like this?
Yes. That's it.
I'm sorry.
Nice mask.
Who's the owner of this mask?
Goliath.
The person we're trying to catch
is this guy.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
What about you?
That's him.
He's the one who killed me.
And…
I was with them.
I am…
also a murderer.
You were with them?
Murder?
Did you sell drugs and kill people?
I'll tell you everything,
so let's go somewhere else.
Pil-jung will be back.
I hid the evidence in the back seat.
Lee Gwang-taek did it.
And Detective Goh hid the evidence.
Want to know a secret?
Then can I really come in first place?
He doesn't remember
any of the hardship he went through.
Ro-ha, where are you?

He's a very scary person.
He doesn't deserve to be called a human.
I'm okay.
But my child…
My heart breaks for her.
My Alice.
You must find her.
You must.
Please.
Please find my Alice.
Please.
Please find her.
Alice!
Alice!
Oh, no.
Ali…
She's not here.
It's going to get dark soon.
Where did she go?
Ali…
Alice.
Oh, dear.
-Ju-won.
-You hungry?
-Honey.
-Mom.
You worked so hard.
Goodness.
-What's all this?
-I brought the freshest ones for us.
Wow, you caught a lot of fish today.
I'll cook these. Go inside.
My wife is the best.
Hey! You're so silly.
Go inside.
Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat soon.
Ju-won, look how sweaty you are.
You need a shower.
I can do that later.
-I'll heat up some water.
-Oh, goodness.
Hold on a second.
Here's the rice wine
that you like so much.
It's nice how the wife that always
nagged you to quit drinking
is now pouring you a drink, right?
My swole son.
I brought you the bananas you like.
Wait a minute.
Do you even know
what the word "swole" means?
Your mom is quite trendy now.
I learned a lot living here.
Stop laughing.
Are you two happy there without me?
I met a lot of good people here,
so I'm not lonely.
Did I tell you about Alice?
She's the youngest here.
When she first arrived,
she wouldn't eat a bite.
I was worried she wasn't eating
because she didn't like my food.
But she eats when given her rice
and side dishes separately.
She is such a pretty girl.
-Hold on.
-What?
Wait. Be quiet.
Don't you hear someone crying?
What crying?
Hey, Wook!
Wook!
Alice?
Alice?
Alice, Uncle Wook is here.
Alice!
-Alice! Oh, dear.
-Here.
Alice, come here.
This way.
Upsy-daisy. Let's get you down.
My goodness.
Goodness, Alice.
-It's all right. You're okay now.
-Goodness.
Alice, are you hurt anywhere?
Let's take a look at you.
She's all right.
Why is there a boat here?
I know, right?
What's this?
Hey, Wook.
Wook.
Wook.
Look here.
Oh, dear.
Captain! Goodness.
-Goodness.
-Oh, dear.
What's the matter? Are you hurt, sweetie?
I don't think she's hurt anywhere,
but look after her.
I have to go.
Why? What's going on?
When Alice disappeared this afternoon,
we searched around the lake
and found a boat.
She was inside the boat.
A boat?
By herself?
Yes.
I'm supposed to meet
with Mr. Jang and the principal there.
-I have to go.
-Okay.
Be careful.
My sweetie.
Who did you play with on the boat?
I played with the fish.
Fish?
There's no way.
How could they have appeared there?
-We have to go this way.
-Okay.
No. It's this way.
-That's what I mean.
-Here.
Look.
-Oh, dear.
-Here.
Over here.
Alice was crying on top of this boat.
Alice was…
here?
Yes.
How did a small girl like her
get up there?
And why is this boat here?
Oh, this.
It used to be out by the lake,
but after I came here, no one used it.
The footprint! Here.
Take a look.
See this footprint here?
Look at this.
It's way bigger than mine.
This is definitely a man's footprint.
Then…
did someone know the boat was here
and try to take it to the lake?
Mr. Jung, is there anyone
that comes to mind?
In this village,
there are only weak kids, women,
and old people like me.
Who can this be?
Anyway,
we should just keep the kids
away from the lake for a while.
Yes.
You're eating so well.
All done!
Was it good?
Yes.
Alice, are you sleepy?
Want a piggyback ride?
Here.
-Twinkle, twinkle, little star
-Twinkle, twinkle, little star
-How I wonder what you are
-How I wonder what you are
I know you love
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
My mom sings it better.
Where's my mom?
There, there.
Let's get you to bed.
It's strange how Il-yong
can perfectly guess what Alice wants.
How did it go?
Was anyone there?
No. There were only traces
that someone had been there.
The footprint was larger than my own.
The principal is forbidding the kids
from going to the lake,
so keep that in mind, Captain Kang.
All right.
Where's Alice?
She's with Il-yong.
After he fed her, he put her to bed.
I didn't see a peep of him
when we were searching for her.
Why do you always get irritated
whenever we talk about Il-yong?
There's good enough reason for that.
As for Alice,
I'll keep her with me from now on,
so don't worry.
Go inside and take a seat.
I'll bring out something to eat.
-Shall we?
-Okay.
-All right.
-Go in.
Okay. Let's eat.
Today's the anniversary
of my husband and son's death.
How did they die on the same day?
My son was on vacation.
He went fishing with my husband.
And that day, huge tidal waves
came without a warning.
On the first day, only the boat came back.
On the second day…
only my son washed ashore.
My husband came on the last day.
Other fishermen brought him home.
When I saw his face
bloated from being in the water,
I was so grateful.
He stayed with Ju-won
so he wouldn't be scared
and sent him home a day earlier.
He also brought himself home.
So I was very grateful for that.
Oh, don't look so serious.
It's been more than 40 years after all.
Drink up.
Then Captain Kang…
How did you end up here?
Me?
I hated even the sight of that boat.
I wanted to set it on fire.
So I took a can of oil
and went to the dock.
The minute I saw
the name of the boat, Juwon,
my resolve wavered.
Ju-won…
JUWON
We bought that boat
in the year our son was born.
So we named it after him.
If I got rid of the boat…
it felt like the memories of our family
would also completely disappear.
Since then,
I started taking that boat out.
That's how you became a captain.
Yes. Oh, gosh.
I took that boat out thinking,
"I don't care if I die today or tomorrow."
And goodness, I lasted for five years.
I caught a lot of fish
and made a lot of money.
I also hired several sailors.
Then one day,
I was suddenly swept away
by the waves and came here.
Unfortunately, there was no one
to hold a funeral for me.
So I think the Dragon King
took me away forever.
My story is no fun, is it?
How could a story of someone dying be fun?
There's no need to be so serious.
It's normal to talk about life
both laughing and crying.
I'm a weepy mess.
Drink.
We need to toast, though.
-Yes.
-Mr. Jang keeps taking sips by himself.
Good work.
You're here.
This is the leader of the Drug Squad.
-Hello.
-Hello.
How are you feeling?
I slept all day.
They said I'd be fine
with a few good days of rest.
That's good.
I'll be outside so you two can talk.
You can stay. I just have a few questions.
I don't do drugs. I've never done them.
I'm telling the truth.
I know.
Sang-cheol…
Did you hear anything
from the man who took you?
Nothing much.
He said he'd save me if I stayed quiet.
At first, I was stuck
in a shipping container in the mountains.
A few days later
when he brought me some food,
I managed to escape.
I was so worried about my daughter
and missed her so much.
I just wanted to hear her voice.
When you called from the pay phone?
Yes.
I was caught right away.
He yelled that he was going
to get killed because of me,
and I was so scared.
Wait.
He was going to get killed? By whom?
I'm not sure.
Whenever I asked him anything,
he said it was better for me not to know.
Do you have any idea
why they might have kidnapped you?
You should ask him yourself.
He's the one who grabbed me
outside the bar.
I would also like to know
what I did wrong to be kidnapped.
Who do you think put Alice on the boat?
I find that strange too.
Don't you think there's also
a secret to this village?
A secret?
In Duon Village,
Thomas used to lock up bad people
without the villagers knowing.
I don't know about that,
but I think that boat is suspicious.
It's also strange that it's on land.
The way it was covered by the trees…
It looked as though
someone had hidden it there on purpose.
Exactly. Did you see
Captain Kang's face earlier?
Captain Kang?
When you mentioned the footprint…
The footprint was larger than my own.
She looked like she knew something
but was hesitating to say it.
If she has something to say,
she'll say it when she's ready.
There's no one I trust
more than Captain Kang.
You think she's suspicious too?
No.
I may be suspicious,
but I'm a good judge of character.
Go back to sleep.
No, it's okay.
Goodness.
I didn't mean to wake you up.
It's okay. I must have fallen asleep.
Hey.
Doesn't Alice look cute
even when she's asleep?
She's like an angel.
I know, right?
She kept calling for her mom in her sleep.
She's that age.
She should be with her mom.
Why is she here?
Goodness.
What kind of bastard
hurt an angel like her?
A piece of dung that deserves to be hung.
Hey.
Alice seems unusually attached
to you and Wook.
I want to know
what happened to that little girl,
so if there's a way to find out,
talk to Wook about it.
What?
He said he found me
suspicious and unlikable.
Is this because of me?
Because of what I told you
when you first came here?
Why is that because of you?
It's all because of me.
And to be honest,
I understand why he's suspicious of me.
I'd find myself unlikable if I were him.
Il-yong.
There's no need to tell me
everything that you saw outside,
but if there's something
that upsets you or makes you angry,
you can tell me.
It doesn't have to be me either.
If there's someone you want to confide in,
talk to that person. Okay?
I will.
SEOUN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
-Mom!
-Bo-ra!
-Bo-ra…
-Mom…
Are you hurt?
What's wrong with your face?
It's just because I have no makeup on.
I'm fine.
You must have been so worried.
Of course.
You're my mom, but you always worry me.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Let's go home, Mom.
Let's go.
Is it okay for me to go home with my mom?
About that…
The doctor said I can go home.
There are still some things
we need to investigate…
Hold on.
Why aren't you coming in?
I didn't think it was my place.
Goodness.
How is Se-yeong?
Bo-ra seems thrilled
to be going home with her mom.
But they're still in danger.
We haven't discovered
who was behind her kidnapping.
And we haven't found Detective Goh yet.
Ms. Mun will be taken
to a safe house for now.
Bo-ra…
She can stay with us.
She's gotten really close to Jong-a.
They're besties.
They're pretty similar.
Dad, Mom wants you to come in.
Dad?
Who?
I'm dependable like a dad, you know.
Go in. Bo-ra,
want to get something to drink?
Okay.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
I look awful, don't I?
You haven't changed a bit.
Oh, please.
I'm a lot more handsome now.
You really haven't changed.
You too.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Thank you for looking after Bo-ra.
Don't mention it.
And Bo-ra's dad?
She's 14 years old.
Never could I have imagined
that she'd go find you.
I'm glad that you're still
excessively virtuous.
It's because of you.
You're the one
who made me like that.
So I'm someone
important to you?
Alice?
Her name is Alice?
We asked her what her name was,
and she said she's Alice.
She never says much.
She's so cute.
She's too young,
so she can't talk precisely,
but I think she's
from a multiracial family.
Okay.
NAME: LEE ALICE
YEAR OF DISAPPEARANCE: 2022
She's not in
the missing children's database.
Maybe it's not her real name.
Or maybe she hasn't been reported.
Ro-ha wasn't reported missing either.
He came to the village eight years ago,
and no one has ever looked for him.
Il-yong went to his home,
and other people were living there.
And Yeong-rim's family all moved overseas.
-Overseas?
-Yes.
No wonder I couldn't find
an address for him.
But how did you find out all of this?
Il-yong told me.
Il-yong?
That Il-yong guy…
What did he major in?
Something to do with IT?
How did he find their addresses?
Did he hear it from them?
I don't know.
-According to him--
-Wait!
No. I don't want to hear this.
Don't tell me.
I'll do this my way.
I'll call you when I find
all the people on this list.
-I'll find them as fast as I can.
-Okay.
Goodness.
Why so sassy with me?
Gosh.
Why is she becoming like Wook?
Are you busy?
Come with me if you have time.
No.
You said you wanted to know
what I spend my time doing.
I want you to see for yourself.
What are you up to?
Punk.
Are you going on another picnic?
Alice, you too?
Hi, Mr. Jang.
Well, hello.
You should say "Hello."
I made some porridge
for the crybaby detective
since he's been crying
in his room all day.
Here, I'll carry it.
It's not heavy at all.
Captain Kang.
You think I'd carry it if it were heavy?
Give me that.
Let's go.
Why are you still acting like this?
I heard you didn't
eat anything yesterday either.
I brought you some porridge.
Get up and eat some.
Go outside and get some sun too.
I know it feels like your whole world
has come crashing down,
but it will get better in a few days.
Mr. Lee Gwang-taek?
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm Detective Shin Jun-ho
of the Missing Persons Team.
So what?
Do you know Goh Sang-cheol?
He's been reported missing.
-Never heard of him.
-You really don't?
I heard that you know him well.
What idiot said that to you?
Now, don't be like that.
Take a good look.
He may be someone you know.
Never seen him before. Don't know him.
Wait…
Lee Gwang-taek, Goliath…
Names I heard
while searching for Detective Goh.
I went to see Lee Gwang-taek today.
The jerk completely denied knowing him.
Gwang-taek?
Gwang-taek?
He asked me if Gwang-taek sent me.
Goliath?
I can't find Detective Goh
without your cooperation, sir.
You know that better than anyone.
Go see your son Ro-ha.
And don't come back.
Are you going to Seoul?
I happily drive all this way
for the extra cash,
but the problem is
going all the way back to Seoul.
I get sleepy too.
Goodness.
You were released?
What?
Oh, this?
Yes. I got out today.
It must have been tough.
Congratulations.
But no welcome committee?
I wrote a letter
saying I'd get home on my own.
I was too ashamed.
I wasn't much of a father or husband.
How long has it been?
It's been nine years.
I can't apologize enough
to my wife and kid.
Wow. Nine years…
Your kid must have grown so big.
The last time I saw him, he was eight.
He must be in high school now.
I'm worried
that I might not recognize him.
You've never seen him since then?
After the trial,
I told my wife not to come visit me.
I said I'd send her the money
I make working inside,
so she should just pretend that I'm gone
and live like others
so our son wouldn't be discouraged.
I told her I'd pay for my crimes
and proudly walk out to see her.
I only have a picture
from when my kid was young.
I imagined countless times
what he would look like.
I wonder how he's grown up.
You didn't have to give me a ride
all the way here. Thank you.
It's been fun.
Whose home is it?
It's Ro-ha's home.
Ro-ha's name is Lee Ro-ha.
It says Byeon Seok-ha here.
This is the house Ro-ha used to live in.
Someone else seems to live here now.
But here's a letter addressed to Ro-ha.
Take a look.
He's been sending letters here
not knowing that they moved?
SENDER: LEE JIN-SEONG
RECIPIENT: LEE RO-HA
Someone's coming.
Sender, Lee Jin-seong…
Seoul…
"Ro-ha."
"Your foolish father
can now finally go home."
He still doesn't know
that Ro-ha disappeared?
He must be in prison.
You were just a little boy
when I last saw you.
You must be so big now.
I'm going to work hard to become
a dad you can be proud of.
And…
I'll try my best to make up
for all of the past years.
Let's go on trips, the three of us,
and be happy together.
BYEON SEOK-HA
Who are you?
I'm sorry, but when did you move in?
It's been a while.
Do you know where
the previous residents went?
No, I don't.
Let's go, Ha-il.
Hurry up.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Ro-ha.
Let's have fun today
with Mom and Dad, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go!
OUR HAPPY FAMILY
LEE JIN-SEONG, GOH EUN-JEONG, LEE RO-HA
BYEON SEOK-HA
This is so sad.
You didn't tell him about Ro-ha, did you?
I couldn't.
I dropped him off at his house and left.
What happened to Ro-ha's mom?
Was she in the same accident as Ro-ha?
Then she'd be here with Ro-ha.
Ro-ha's dad will go look for her now.
He's been waiting to see them
for nine years.
I don't think he'll give up easily.
He shouldn't.
Ms. Lee!
You're going to overwork yourself.
Take it easy!
-That goes to the kitchen.
-Okay.
You've been working here by yourself?
-You should've told me.
-I was wrapping up the kitchen.
After we finish setting the tables,
we can open in a few days.
Take it easy! No one's rushing you.
No!
We need to get the equipment in here fast
and find the kids.
This is now a matter of pride.
The key is to find information
quickly and precisely.
Oh Il-yong isn't listening in, is he?
Ma'am, could you come take a look?
I'm coming!
Bye.
Il-yong listening?
And what key was she talking about?
She just wants to find those kids
as fast as she can.
You know what Ms. Lee is like.
I should go take care of my business too.
Where are you going?
To the school.
That kid wearing a white shirt.
His name is Lee Ro-ha.
He's been here for eight years.
There are other kids
who have been here longer though.
So what?
Ro-ha is not even listed as missing.
Either no one is looking for him,
or no one knows that he's missing.
That…
That's not comforting at all.
It wasn't meant to be.
I was just talking about Ro-ha.
That's the situation he's in.
This place is full of people who died
but whose bodies haven't been found.
We're all in the same situation.
You look like death.
What's wrong with a dead man
looking like death?
Don't get all mad.
You're so weird.
Very weird.
Detective Goh, come here! Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
Goodness.
Isn't Ro-ha's dad getting out today?
I thought you were going to get him.
I gave him a ride home.
He'll know by now that Ro-ha is gone.
But he won't know that he's dead.
He'll find out someday.
Detective Goh!
Wait.
There used to be, but not anymore.
It's a bad boat,
so the grown-ups got rid of it.
Why did she call it a bad boat?
Hey. Ms. Ahn.
Mr. Jang's going to help
with the flags for our field day.
Welcome.
I'll go get the flags from the classroom.
Sure.
Whose drawing is this?
It's Alice's.
I told her to draw what she did that day.
There are two people in the boat.
Who is this other person?
If it was a stranger,
she would have been scared.
-You're right.
-Yes.
She wasn't.
She drew the boat big
and colored it yellow.
This signifies that she felt safe
and had fun in the boat.
You can tell that from the drawing?
She used to be an art therapist.
-See the fish in the boat?
-Yes.
Something that should be
in the water is outside.
It's a fantasy-changing method
that five-year-olds often show.
They don't use that if they feel uneasy.
So she had a fun time in the boat?
Do you know who among the villagers
has played with Alice?
I'm not sure.
But I still don't understand.
Ha-yun said something strange
to Yeong-rim.
She said it was a bad boat,
so the grown-ups got rid of it.
A "bad boat"?
Was there an accident involving the boat?
Do you know anything about it?
Well, when I came here,
the boat was already on land.
We should ask Captain Kang.
She's been here the longest.
Why do you want to know that?
The woman you kidnapped.
Se-yeong and I…
Are you two lovers?
Well…
We know each other well.
Doesn't that usually mean
that they're lovers?
Not now.
So former lovers?
I don't know what this is about,
but I want to hear it too.
My first assignment in the Drug Squad
was an undercover job.
It was a drug cartel
that operated on social media sites.
The drug lord's ID is Goliath.
He advertises in a secret chat room,
and buyers order using cryptocurrency.
I'D LIKE TO PURCHASE
When payment is confirmed,
they drop off the drugs.
They used to operate in small groups
but got bigger in the past two years.
They sell both wholesale and retail.
Even if we catch the underlings,
the drug cartel won't be revealed.
NAME: GOH SANG-CHEOL
(UNDERCOVER)
So we sent in Sang-cheol undercover.
You said he was a newbie.
His face wasn't known.
It was a classified investigation
even only a few in our team knew about.
Why is a drug cartel
kidnapping and killing people?
They're afraid of nothing.
If any of their clients fail
to pay back their due credit,
-they cut out their organs and sell them.
-Goodness.
Sell what?
Crazy bastards.
What?
They're harvesting organs domestically
and selling them?
Those bastards.
It's hard to do it here,
so they kidnap people
and send them to China for the operation.
Most are anesthetized, put in a box,
and loaded onto a smuggler's boat.
Choi Jeong-ah died in the box.
They told me to
secretly get rid of her body,
but I left her on the beach
so that the police would find her.
But why did you kidnap Se-yeong?
She told me she never did drugs.
I received a text message while working.
I don't know the reason.
I just do it when the order is given.
Who gives you the orders?
Goliath.
That was D-day.
Lots of drugs were coming in,
and Goliath was supposed to show up.
Sang-cheol sent me the changed location,
but I lost contact with him after that.
So you need Detective Goh
to catch Goliath?
If anything happens to Sang-cheol…
Will she be okay?
She's probably alive, right?
She will be okay.
Thank you
for saving Se-yeong.
That's why I became a police officer.
To protect the safety
and the lives of the people.
But now, that's all over.
Oh, dear…
I'm so proud of you.
Our crybaby detective.
Here. Eat this as you talk.
How did you end up here, Detective Goh?
What do you remember last?
Gwang-taek.
I was held captive in a container.
Then Gwang-taek stabbed me.
Which country's flag is this?
Is this the top? Or is this the top?
Can't you tell?
It's a flag of an imaginary country.
Just put it up anyhow you want.
No one would know
even if you hang it upside down.
Not even the kid who drew it.
Ro-ha drew this.
Isn't it good?
Ro-ha is a talented artist.
He has a good eye and is very expressive.
His dream is to be an artist.
He said his dream was
to come in first in a race.
The first place prize is
an easel and a paint set.
I think he wants to win the race
because of the prize.
Maybe there's also another reason.
Ms. Ahn, you know a lot about the kids.
Is it because you talk to them often?
Some kids tell me their stories,
and others, I guess
from looking at their drawings.
Can you show me the drawings?
I'd like your interpretations as well.
Sure. I can do that.
Please!
-Okay.
-Thanks.
Take care of it and send it up.
What brings you here?
I was directed here
by the local substation.
LEE JIN-SEONG
WIFE: GOH EUN-JEONG, CHILD: LEE RO-HA
NOVEMBER 6, 2014
JEONGSEONG MAEUM HOSPITAL
Okay.
For the past eight years, there's been
no sign that Goh Eun-jeong is alive.
We've looked for her
among unclaimed bodies
and unidentified bodies
that died of unnatural causes.
Unnatural causes?
Yes. We looked just in case
but couldn't find her.
So we searched the medical records
at the National Health Insurance Service.
Then…
was my wife hurt?
It's not that.
She's in a mental hospital.
Then what about Ro-ha?
Is he there with her?
No.
Only your wife is there.
Why don't you go see your wife
and ask her where your son is?
JEONGSEONG MAEUM HOSPITAL
She was an alcoholic and severely
delusional at the time of hospitalization.
Her state hasn't improved,
so she's been a long-term inpatient.
An alcoholic?
She can't drink even a drop of alcohol.
Who signed the consent form?
She did it herself.
This is her room.
Honey.
Eun-jeong.
It's me.
What are you doing here?
Where is our Ro-ha?
Our son, Ro-ha.
Get a hold of yourself, Eun-jeong!
Ro-ha. Where's our Ro-ha?
Where's Ro-ha?
You must not aggravate the patient.
Our son, Ro-ha!
You need to leave now.
Honey!
Hey, Detective Oh.
You must not aggravate the patient!
Let's take a look at the records
of the patients in this hospital.
Yes, sir.
It's nice here.
It's where kids draw and get counseling.
So you wanted to see their drawings.
Yes. You can read their thoughts
from their drawings.
It's so fascinating.
Show me Ro-ha's drawings.
He's really good at drawing.
Okay.
He used a lot of green in his drawings.
Eun-hee did a good job
of keeping all the drawings.
Ro-ha has been here for eight years,
so these drawings have been here
even before I got here.
You know…
The drawings all seem the same.
Ro-ha drew this when he just arrived here.
He drew the forest and trees.
The forest is dark,
and the trees are dark as well,
as if light can't get through.
I can feel fear from the drawing.
The tree trunk narrows as it goes up.
It's seen from a child's viewpoint.
The surrounding area is
also very detailed.
I think it's a place
somewhere in his memories.
A place he's actually seen or has been to?
Yes.
What's this?
Ms. Ahn, are you here?
-Yes.
-Okay.
Oh, you're also here, Mr. Jang.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
You'll know when you get there.
-There they are.
-Hurry up. Come on!
What are you doing?
Being late is like a sickness for you.
Mr. Jang, you're sick? Are you okay?
Who, me?
I'm fine. Why?
You've got a case of narcissism.
I mean, look at him.
He arrives last
to grab everyone's attention.
But when I was in a bind,
he didn't even show up to help.
He showed up after I took care of--
Gosh. What did you feed him
that he's so talkative?
Why are all these people here?
There's going to be a field day
in a few days,
so we gathered here.
Your hand's salty!
Salty.
Goodness.
Why is everyone here over a field day?
It's the biggest event of the year.
We need to have a meeting to prepare.
It's a huge event.
Everyone seems to be here.
Go ahead, Mr. Jung.
You can divide people
into two groups just like that.
Next is the mission race.
For the first leg of the race,
should it be running
with candy in the mouth?
Or running after eating sticky rice cakes
without using your hands?
-Mr. Jung?
-Yes?
Even when eating them normally,
sticky rice cakes
-can get stuck in your throat.
-Right.
Wouldn't it block your throat
if you eat them and run?
I think just eating it using your hands
or running while holding it
in your mouth would be better.
Captain Kang has a point.
Okay.
Then…
Let's make it
running with a sticky rice cake
held between the teeth.
Is this something that warrants
such serious attention?
I told you.
They're dead serious about this.
It reminds me of the old days. I like it.
-Yes.
-Wait!
Anyone volunteering as staff?
We can do it!
-Let go. Do it by yourself.
-Let's do it together.
The event staff will be
Il-yong and Detective Goh.
Do whatever you want.
Why aren't you doing anything?
Excuse me.
He's going to do it too.
What are you doing?
Dragging me into this?
What's so wrong with
dragging you a little?
He has a point.
Whose side are you on?
Well, I'm on--
There are no sides here.
What are we going to do here?
We're going to practice running today.
Yes!
I practiced running this morning too.
Really?
Man or woman, young or old…
Everyone is really serious
about this field day.
Kindergarten, lower grades,
and upper grades.
We'll divide them into those three
and each of us can take a team.
Hey, Detective Goh.
Where's this passion coming from?
You rarely sound enthusiastic.
I do my best at the job I'm assigned,
even if I don't like it.
This is why I like you so much.
I also do my best at my job.
I don't trust you yet.
I'll take the upper grades.
Then I'll…
A kindergartener called dibs on me.
Let's go.
I have to study for exams.
Where are you taking me?
You'll do well on exams
only if you study every day.
Cramming doesn't work.
You should be studying regularly.
I do, and today is just another day.
No, it's not.
Janggun and Meonggun, you're coming too!
Bo-ra, get Jjamppong.
What's special about today?
Today?
It's the opening day of the café.
You said you'd help out when it opened.
There's going to be a lot of people
since it's the first day.
A new café opening and all, you know?
Janggun, Meonggun, let's go!
Is this the right place?
My goodness. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes.
-Mister!
-Mister!
Mister!
-Hello.
-Hello.
Hi. Welcome.
Get in.
-I'm riding in the front!
-No, me!
-Rock, paper, scissors!
-Rock, paper, scissors!
-I'll go in the front.
-Look.
SO GOOD COFFEE
Ta-da!
What do you think?
Let's go.
This is your new house.
Stay here.
Can I take Jjamppong inside?
No.
Jjamppong can't go inside yet.
But I want to take him inside.
You can't.
Jjamppong, you stay here for a bit.
Let's stay here, Jjamppong.
But…
There are no passersby here.
No one's going to come all this way.
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday, dear Bo-ra
-Happy birthday, dear Bo-ra
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
Wait.
You have to make a wish first.
Happy birthday!
-Happy birthday, Bo-ra.
-Happy birthday.
Hey, wait.
Wait a minute.
There we go.
Bo-ra, open these later.
Okay. Thank you.
Happy birthday!
What's going on?
You said it was your café opening.
It is the café opening,
as well as your birthday party.
Have fun with your friends.
Girls, I prepared lots of food.
-Okay.
-Eat up before it gets cold.
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
The surprise was a total success.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
For everything.
Let's eat.
Look at this.
We have to get it on her face.
Mr. Jang, Wook. Come here for a second.
Okay.
Ta-da!
This is our new hideout.
Wow!
This is…
This is far better
than the office at the pawnshop.
The pawnshop was quite secure
and nice too.
This place is much safer and more secure.
I have special security cameras
all over the place.
Emergency alarms, security cameras,
wiretapping detection, fire detection,
magnet detection, and even motion sensors,
all operating simultaneously.
If we have an invader, the system will
send out warning texts first,
then send a real-time video
to our cell phones.
So it's automatically
reported to the police?
No.
The victim must report it directly
according to the law.
So I've set up the system
to send the data to all of us.
When you first mentioned opening a café,
I was wondering why you'd do that
all of a sudden.
So this was the real reason.
I'm so glad that Jong-a is on our side.
Was that faster than before?
Not at all. It's the same.
You've done enough for today.
Let's continue tomorrow.
All your friends went home.
See? It's going to turn dark soon.
Let me do this just one more time.
Blow the whistle for me.
Get ready.
This is really the last time.
Okay.
Thanks to Detective Goh,
Mun Se-yeong was saved.
He saved me too.
He couldn't save himself, though.
He was stabbed by Lee Gwang-taek
in a container at Wondo Port.
We'd searched all the containers.
Please find our poor
crybaby detective quickly.
I will.
Your help was crucial this time.
Obviously. I've always been a big help.
Remember all the information I provided?
You've just forgotten, that's all.
What is it? What's wrong?
I only have my suspicions right now,
so I can't tell you.
Detective Shin,
answer right away whenever I call.
If anything happens to me,
it's all your fault.
Got it?
Call the police
if I don't come back in ten minutes.
Sorry? Oh, okay.
I'd heard that a drunk customer
was passed out in the room.
Since it happens often,
I went inside without thinking much of it.
But when I saw her, she didn't seem drunk.
Drugs?
Yes. It looked like she was on drugs.
Detective Shin, show her the picture.
Okay.
Was it
this person?
Yes.
It was her.
Was there someone else
in the room with her?
Someone else?
There was a man.
The one who kidnapped you?
No. It wasn't him.
What?
Come drink with me. Come in.
Come in.
You've got the wrong room.
This is it!
Hey, Jong-a!
I'm coming in!
Oh, gosh.
I told you it's not.
Stay right there!
I'll be right back after I pee!
Who is inside
that there are even bodyguards?
What man?
The woman was passed out,
but the man was fine,
so I asked him if he was with her.
Are you with her?
No.
I thought it was my room.
He said no.
He said he came in
thinking it was his room.
He slammed into me
as he was rushing to leave.
He dropped something on the ground.
What was it?
It was a mask.
Wait.
By any chance…
did it look like this?
Yes. That's it.
I'm sorry.
Nice mask.
Who's the owner of this mask?
Goliath.
The person we're trying to catch
is this guy.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
What about you?
That's him.
He's the one who killed me.
And…
I was with them.
I am…
also a murderer.
You were with them?
Murder?
Did you sell drugs and kill people?
I'll tell you everything,
so let's go somewhere else.
Pil-jung will be back.
I hid the evidence in the back seat.
Lee Gwang-taek did it.
And Detective Goh hid the evidence.
Want to know a secret?
Then can I really come in first place?
He doesn't remember
any of the hardship he went through.
Ro-ha, where are you?
