THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN
AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.
He…
did that?
Finish things up nicely,
then disappear for a while.
I'll go get the stuff when it's time.
Who are you to be getting my stuff?
So why didn't you
do it right in the first place?
You're the one who brought in the snitch.
I told you, I got rid of him nicely.
Sure.
So we have one less thing to worry about.
I'm sorry.
Nice mask.
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.
Wook.
Get out of here.
Where did he go?
He's gone. Let's go.
Go where?
Who is that guy?
He's a friend from middle school
and he sells drugs on social media.
His name is Kim Pil-jung, and he and I--
You were with them?
Murder?
Did you sell drugs and kill people?
I was suspicious of you from the start.
But I didn't think…
that it would be this bad.
Pil-jung will be back.
Hurry up and go.
Does Captain Kang…
know what you're really like?
But you didn't mean to do it.
I practically killed that kid.
Yes, what you did was wrong.
So what?
Whenever I lie down to sleep,
I'm reminded of his face.
I guess guilt
doesn't disappear even when you die.
This is neither heaven nor hell.
It's not a place
where people are punished.
And it's also not a place
where your past is erased.
I know.
Il-yong.
Don't you ever tell others
about yourself from now on.
The things you just told me.
What you did when you were alive.
Never tell others
what happened before you died.
Why not?
Even without your story,
everyone here carries a heavy burden.
So just keep your story buried inside.
As for the price of your sins,
bear it on your own.
Do you hear me?
I'll tell you everything,
so let's go somewhere else.
He's someone who stabbed me
without even blinking an eye.
You don't know what he may do to you.
Let's go.
Damn it.
Yes?
Understood.
When I was young,
my family was really poor.
It was just me and my mom.
But…
my mom was sick
and had to stay home all day.
So I took on all kinds of jobs
since middle school.
I worked myself to the bone,
but I couldn't pay for her medication,
let alone her hospital bills.
Then Pil-jung came to see me.
Your mom's hospital bill.
Ten million won?
That's a huge amount of money.
We were close in middle school.
But I didn't see him around for a while,
and then he showed up rich.
He said he could help me make money.
So I quit all my part-time jobs
and made deliveries as he told me to.
I made so much money
even though the work was easy.
But it was drugs I was delivering.
Drop-off complete.
The mailbox at 26, Gahyeon-ro 47-gil.
Shut the hell up.
Dad, don't do it.
Dad…
Dad!
Dad…
Don't…
-Come on. Let's go.
-Dad…
Dad!
-Hurry up.
-Dad…
Mr. Min, who beat his son to death,
was arrested by the police.
Around 11 p.m. on the 20th,
Mr. Min, from Gahyeon-dong,
started beating his son
who wouldn't stop crying out of hunger.
The eight-year-old
was later found by neighbors
and was sent to a hospital,
but ended up dying.
Mr. Min was under
the influence of drugs at the time…
A few days later, I saw the news
that a druggie father killed his son.
I checked the date
and it was the day
that I delivered the drugs.
It was…
so horrible and scary.
That's when I came to my senses.
If I had stopped him,
if I had reported it…
That boy died because of me.
That's why I'm no different
from a murderer.
And how did you die?
On my way to the police to turn myself in,
I met with Pil-jung
to get him to come with me.
And he stabbed me.
Do you think you paid for
your sins by dying?
No.
My death isn't going to
bring that boy back.
And there was no way
to let the world know what I did
or change what I did.
I guess me dying
and feeling this guilt for eternity
is my punishment.
Not everyone feels guilty
like you do even after they die.
There are many
who never feel guilty to the end.
My mom
passed away in the hospital.
Thankfully, before I died.
I'm a pathetic son.
So you know that?
That's why I couldn't tell you before.
I was ashamed.
So why are you telling me now?
If there's something
that upsets you or makes you angry,
it doesn't have to be me, but…
if there's someone you want to confide in,
talk to that person. Okay?
Just because.
Then…
you went to find him at that club?
It's been a while since I found him.
I was digging into Pil-jung
when I saw Detective Goh.
According to Detective Goh,
that Goliath guy gave all the orders.
Is he also Goliath's henchman?
Henchman?
Pil-jung is Goliath.
Get rid of your phone
and go off the grid for a while.
Right now.
So you're saying…
that Goliath guy
killed you,
kidnapped Se-yeong,
and killed Detective Goh?
-Yes.
-You know where he lives, right?
He moves from one hotel to another.
You're not thinking of going, are you?
Why would I go there?
I'm going to report this.
By the way, Wook.
-In that room--
-Wait!
Don't move.
What? Who?
Me? Why?
He's here, isn't he?
Or here?
What's wrong, Jong-a? You're scaring me.
I know he's here.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Oh Il-yong.
You heard from Wook, right?
I was the one
who found the detective's home.
I'm not bragging or anything,
but I'm pretty skilled.
I'm good at finding people
and things that people hide.
-Hey, Jong-a--
-Anyway,
I'm working hard here
to find things just like you.
So let's compete in good faith.
Here.
We should find everyone
who suffered wrongful deaths, right?
He's not there.
No?
Here.
Not there either.
No?
Here.
What an interesting family.
He held your hand just now.
Really?
Nice to meet you,
Mr. Oh Il-yong.
It's nice to meet you too.
-Get in!
-Yes, sir.
Search the left side.
Yes, sir.
He's not here.
-Stay still.
-Let go of me!
What's this?
You're under arrest
for violating the Narcotics Control Act.
They're completely knocked out.
Wake them up.
Yes, sir.
-Sir.
-Yes?
Turn off the engine.
Stay in your seats.
Gwang-taek. Let's do this the easy way.
-Let go of me!
-Hurry.
Let go!
A raid on the largest drug cartel in Korea
was carried out last night.
The drug cartel operated
chat rooms on social media
and distributed drugs nationwide…
-Proceed.
-Yes, sir.
The leader of the cartel, Goliath,
is a man in his twenties,
and he was found to have disappeared
to escape the police.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
I saw the news.
I heard you busted the whole cartel.
Oh, please.
Junkies don't disappear
just by catching some underlings.
We let them operate
for six months on purpose.
We've been working hard
to catch their leader.
But we lost Goliath.
Any news about Sang-cheol?
Detective Shin is working hard on it.
Okay.
-I'll call you soon.
-All right.
That was Man-sik.
I was about to go meet the informant now.
The informant? They saw Goh Sang-cheol?
Well, I'll have to go find out.
I'll get going.
-Sir, may I join you?
-It's fine, I'll go alone.
-I'm your partner though.
-It's really…
Hey! Did you write up the report?
You didn't, did you?
Go finish that right now.
You are so slow.
I'm off.
You lost him even when
I told you his name and room number?
He's the one who killed Il-yong
and Detective Goh.
And also the one who kidnapped Se-yeong.
Goodness.
He was already gone
when the Drug Squad got there.
Please ask him if there's anywhere
that Kim Pil-jung frequents
or where he might go to.
He moves from one hotel to another,
so we don't have his address.
I think I've seen it all.
To see Detective Shin
asking a ghost for help.
I'm asking you, not the ghost.
So you finally acknowledge my skills.
Where are we going anyway?
To find the car that you mentioned.
Detective Goh's car?
The black one.
Thank you.
Is this his car?
Look at the back seat.
So this is the needle
used on Choi Jeong-ah?
No, sir.
You must not approach.
This is a scene of a crime.
The forensics will be here soon.
Do not touch the evidence.
All right.
The evidence.
This is why I came with you.
What?
You find evidence as if you're a psychic.
It's suspicious.
What do you mean suspicious?
I heard it directly
from the person involved.
That's what I mean.
The person involved is dead.
And you heard it
from a dead man.
Right.
But you should be used to this by now.
I am, but other people will…
Forget it.
I can stay home by myself.
I don't feel comfortable
leaving you here by yourself.
You can study at the café.
White noise is supposed to
help you concentrate.
I feel like a kid when I'm with you.
You take me to and from school.
We met under unique circumstances.
So I wanted to say thanks.
Let's go.
We caught the criminal
and found the needle.
So Detective Goh will be leaving soon.
We haven't found his body yet.
We first have to find
evidence that he's dead.
It's not going to be easy.
We haven't caught Goliath yet.
He's like a rat.
He's a pro at escaping
and getting off the grid.
You really don't know
where he could have gone to?
He's probably far gone by now.
Wasn't he a friend?
What friend stabs you with a knife?
You should have been careful
when choosing friends.
I'm regretting that even when I'm dead.
Good for you.
You have a comeback
for everything, don't you?
I know I don't have the right.
I'm glad you know that.
Oh, dear.
Here we go.
I'll take it.
I'm so happy that there are
so many strong men in this village.
Men are not all the same.
I do the work of 100 men by myself.
Then you take this.
The kids will be waiting. Let's go.
What?
Wait for me.
Be careful.
Goodness, they fight and play
like brothers do.
How nice.
Let's start on the pumpkins.
Oh, dear.
This will do.
What is it?
Did you leave something?
It must have been the wind.
Ro-ha, raise your knees
and pull back your chin.
Tuck in your stomach.
"Spread the strawberry jam on soft bread."
"Don't forget the salty ham."
How are you doing, Detective Goh?
What took you so long to bring the snacks?
You left all these kids to me.
Mr. Jung, Alice.
We brought snacks.
What's wrong?
Take a look at this, Ms. Ahn.
Do you see these yellow parts here?
What do you think they are?
These look like tree trunks.
But I have no clue
what these yellow parts are.
When you look at this,
This yellow
looks like it's blocked by the trees.
Goodness. This is really frustrating.
Do you think we can ask Ro-ha about this?
I won't if it's bad for the kid.
The kids will be here soon, right?
-Yes.
-Okay.
-I should go.
-Okay.
Where are the customers?
Welcome!
You didn't go to work today, Seul-gi?
She quit her job.
And I guess you don't care about me
since I'm jobless.
-You quit?
-Yes.
Everything felt meaningless
after what happened to Jeong-ah.
I've been working too hard.
I plan to take it easy from now on.
Your café is so pretty.
What's the concept here?
I thought this was the wrong place
because it's so deserted around.
Hey, this café will be popular soon.
Industrial-style café alley.
Don't you get it?
It's going to be a hotspot.
-A hotspot?
-Yes.
Then where are your customers?
Did you advertise properly?
Like an opening event?
-Opening event?
-Jong-a.
I'll go see if the dogs are okay.
Sure.
Who's that? A part-time worker?
Just a kid I know.
-You have a barista certificate, right?
-Yes.
-Do you want to work here?
-Sure.
Hey, Jong-a. Why Seul-gi and not me?
She's going to take it easy, remember?
But I'm always hard working
even if I'm unemployed.
Forget it. Let's talk over some coffee.
-All right.
-You can have anything you want.
It's free for today.
Free?
-Really? Then…
-I want the matcha…
I want three pieces of this cake
and an AA Kenyan iced frappuccino
with dulce caramel syrup
and mint chocolate chips
topped with whipped cream.
-Have all three.
-That's all.
-Have everything.
-What is that?
-Jong-a?
-Yes?
SO GOOD COFFEE
Where's Jjamppong?
Jjamppong?
Jjamppong!
Jjamppong!
Where did he go?
FALLING DEBRIS
DO NOT ENTER
It's a puppy.
Hi, puppy.
Hey.
Have you seen Alice?
Everyone else is in the classroom,
but I don't see Alice.
I think I saw her here just a moment ago.
Where did she go?
Maybe she's in the backyard.
-I'll go take a look.
-Okay.
-Then I'll look outside.
-All right.
Hey, Detective Goh.
You go that way.
I'll go take a look
inside the building again.
Okay.
Alice!
What are you doing here by yourself?
There's a puppy in this village?
Gosh.
Let me take a look.
Jjamppong?
Did you…
die?
Alice, where did you find this puppy?
Was it under that tree?
No.
He came from over there.
I see. From there?
Alice!
Alice!
Why do you sound so desperate,
running out of breath?
Did you bring Alice here?
No, I met her on the way here.
-She was playing with Jjamppong.
-Why would Jjamppong be here?
He should be at home.
He looks… Hey, Jjamppong!
Are you dead?
No, I don't think he is.
Alice says
that he appeared from there.
You…
Is he here alone?
Where are Janggun and Meonggun?
I don't see them. He must be here alone.
Ro-ha.
Have you been here?
Yes.
With whom?
I went there alone
because my mom was gone.
I see.
There are so many trees here.
What's this?
I don't know.
Was this next to the tree?
Yes.
-You shouldn't wander around.
-Jjamppong!
Jjamppong.
Bo-ra.
Jjamppong!
Jjamppong…
I've been looking for him everywhere.
Where was he, Mr. Jang?
He was wandering around there
so I brought him.
You must have been worried. Let's go.
My heart almost stopped.
I thought it was another disappearance.
"Another"?
Has Jjamppong disappeared before?
No.
It's not that.
I was just reminded of my mom
and I got scared.
I see.
-Hello.
-Hey, Jun-ho.
Did you get the results?
Not yet. I just got the call myself.
How did you know
that Sang-cheol hid the needle there?
If it were me,
I would have hidden it there.
So I looked there just in case.
Is that so?
That was smart.
-You're here.
-Hello, Doctor.
What are the results?
During the autopsy on Choi Jeong-ah,
we found methamphetamine and zolpidem.
There were also traces
of zolpidem inside the needle.
And the DNA?
Choi Jeong-ah's bloodstains
were found on the needle.
It also matched the mark on her neck.
The conclusion
is that this is the needle used on her.
There are no traces of other people?
Like fingerprints or hair?
No.
Lee Gwang-taek did it.
And Detective Goh hid the evidence.
But how do we prove it?
Shin Jun-ho.
How do you know Lee Gwang-taek?
I told you that I went to see him once.
He didn't seem like a good man.
I heard he went around with Detective Goh.
So he was probably with him
when they kidnapped Choi Jeong-ah.
He probably stuck the needle,
and Detective Goh
probably hid it in his car.
Probably.
Sir, I'll go have a talk
with Lee Gwang-taek.
You?
We aren't done investigating yet.
And don't you know
that our team hates you?
We must find Detective Goh quickly.
Is Lee Gwang-taek in the detention center?
Let's go.
What's up, Ro-ha?
What happened?
I came in last in the race again.
I wanted to come in first.
It's all right.
So what if you didn't come in first?
I know you did your best.
Then should I always be the last?
I want to win!
That's not what I meant.
I never said
you should always be the last.
Lee Jin-seong went to prison
in February of 2013
for vehicular manslaughter.
And a month later in March,
his wife, Goh Eun-jeong, went to see him.
So she was with her son,
Ro-ha, until then.
When was she admitted
to the mental hospital?
In November of 2014.
Did you check
the national health insurance bills?
She failed to pay for eight years.
Really?
I knew it.
Apparently, there are
26 hospitalized patients here
who haven't paid their bills.
We can't turn away patients
just because they don't have money.
You get about 70 million a month
from the government for that, don't you?
That can't even cover
the cost of running the hospital.
In 2013,
your monthly support
was nearly 200 million won.
I heard there were many cases of patients
being forcefully hospitalized
through brokers back then.
We've never done that.
Of course not.
We applied for a warrant
for your records going back a decade.
Hey.
Where did you bring Goh Eun-jeong from?
Yes, sir.
The ambulance company
that took Goh Eun-jeong disappeared.
They erased all records
before they were investigated.
Those bastards.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Have you seen these people, by any chance?
I don't recognize them.
You?
Hello.
The food's here.
Hello.
-You must be hungry.
-Yes.
Please wait just a minute.
I'll give you plenty.
-I'd like a lot.
-Sure.
I'll give you plenty.
These are Ro-ha's shoes.
LEE RO-HA
FROM NOVEMBER 6, 2014
Ro-ha was wearing those when he came here.
They were so worn out
that I got him a new pair and kept those.
He must have been through so much.
How did he get here?
He lost his mom.
He lost his way in the mountains
looking for his mom
and came all the way here.
He doesn't remember
any of the hardship he went through.
But look at those shoes.
It's all there.
I can feel fear from the drawing.
I think it's a place
somewhere in his memories.
Ro-ha.
This is where you were?
-Try to make that straight.
-Hey.
Hold on tight.
I used to do this all the time
when I was a student.
You keep getting it crooked.
No.
To the left.
You shouldn't go left like this.
Go right like this…
Hey!
I told you to…
I'll do it.
Where did Detective Goh go,
leaving this to me?
Well…
I heard
that you're the best at drawing.
I'm not good at drawing.
Want to know a secret?
I'm actually…
a crybaby.
But you're a policeman.
How can a policeman be a crybaby?
Be quiet.
I told you, it's a secret.
But policemen are supposed to be brave.
You're right.
Policemen are supposed to be brave.
Do you know
what I did to be brave?
I held this tightly
and recited in my heart.
"I'm not a crybaby."
"I'm not a crybaby."
And guess what happened next?
What happened?
I really became brave.
That's a lie.
No, it's not. A policeman can't lie.
Look. This is a real policeman's medal.
HONOR AWARD
POLICE ACADEMY
You're right.
A real policeman's medal.
Right?
This is my treasure.
It's my gift to you.
Here. When you run tomorrow,
hold this tight.
And as you run,
recite in your heart
that you're going to come in first.
Then can I really come in first place?
Yes.
-Mr. Jung.
-Yes?
Where's Ms. Ahn?
She's over there.
She went to the office to get the flags.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Ms. Ahn, let me take that.
Show me Ro-ha's drawings.
-Okay.
-Thanks.
He definitely went to the mountains.
And he certainly saw trees.
You're sure he really saw this?
Yes.
He saw this next to the trees,
but he said he didn't know what it was.
I went to every mountain
in the country for over 15 years
looking for Hyeon-ji.
Every time I did,
I resented how the mountains
were so tall, steep, and thick with trees.
But it wasn't the mountains' fault.
It was because I was anxious.
I'm sure it was the same for Ro-ha.
That young boy must have been
so scared, lost in the woods.
I saw that in his drawings.
Yes.
But…
we missed one thing.
Those trees must have looked
ten times bigger to Ro-ha.
So if you want to draw all those trees,
one sheet of drawing paper
wouldn't be enough.
You mean all of these are…
This is what Ro-ha saw that day.
This was it.
There's nothing I can do
to change anything now.
But I still want to know
where Hyeon-ji went and what she saw.
I feel the same for Ro-ha.
Even though we failed
to protect the kids as adults,
I would still like to find out
what happened to them.
I could do that at least.
The kids here
are just like Hyeon-ji to me.
Is it already kimchi-making season?
Why are you making so much?
There are so many people in this village.
We need lots of food on the table
to satisfy all the ghosts.
You already made rice cakes.
And you prepared so much
glass noodles for japchae.
Il-yong, when will the cabbages be ready?
They're ready!
Anyway, it's all thanks to you
that the villagers all look so healthy.
I'm glad you know.
Add more red pepper powder.
Here you go.
-Put it there.
-Okay.
-Put the cabbages in here.
-Okay.
Again.
I didn't take you for a slacker.
But you are.
I didn't see you at the field earlier.
That was because of Ro-ha.
What about Ro-ha?
I assured him that he would finish first
in tomorrow's race.
But Ro-ha has always come in last.
You're bad at lying.
Why did you do that?
He wanted it so desperately
that I didn't want to hurt him.
Detective Goh.
You've finally grown up.
Don't worry.
I'll make Ro-ha's wish come true.
Tomorrow, he's going to come in first.
But how?
Stop putting that in.
It's going to be too spicy.
I remember you from the underpass.
Right.
We're actually looking for a kid
who stayed there
with his mom eight years ago.
But there's no one who remembers them.
I heard you've been
volunteering there for over ten years.
Volunteering?
Handing out leftover food
is nothing so grand.
Sir.
By any chance…
do you know these people?
-I know them.
-You do?
Wait.
Here.
He drew this for me.
It looks like you.
Your hair must have been black back then.
Years go by so fast.
I saw them for the first time
at that underpass.
The kid looked so hungry
that I brought them
to the restaurant and fed them.
Is it good?
Yes.
-Eat up.
-Thank you.
Here.
Oh, dear.
How did you hurt your hand?
While working at a construction site.
I'm not used to the work yet.
And about a month later…
She seemed to be doing worse
and was living
on the streets with her son.
The mother
cared so much for her son.
Eat up.
Thank you.
That afternoon, I saw them eat lunch.
But the next day,
I couldn't find them.
I heard that an ambulance
took her in the morning.
I asked them if her son went with her
and was told that the boy
ran after the ambulance, crying.
I haven't seen them since.
I was worried,
so I even went
to the springs in the mountains.
Wait a minute.
Do you mean…
Cheonjung Mountain?
Why did you go there?
His mom used to
take her son there for a walk.
Wait.
Here it is.
This is it.
-Is that it?
-This is it.
You really found the place
thanks to all your early morning hikes!
No, it wasn't me.
Ro-ha gave me a hint.
And I just realized what it meant.
Found it.
Look closely.
The signpost in Ro-ha's drawing
exists in 13 mountains in Korea.
Nine of them were installed
during the past seven years,
so take them out.
There are these four left.
The Daebong Mountain trail
was closed eight years ago
because of a mountain fire.
That one is on an island
that takes three hours by boat.
So that's also out.
Now among these two,
the most likely would be…
CHEONJUNG MOUNTAIN
…this one.
Cheonjung Mountain?
Hurry up.
Here it is. 1-1.
It's just like how it looked
in the drawing.
Come on. We have to hurry.
We're a long way away from 1-8.
Right. Let's hurry.
Get a move on, Wook.
Mr. Jang!
-What?
-Mr. Jang!
Isn't that Detective Baek?
Is that you, Mr. Jang?
Hey, Detective Baek!
What are you doing here so early?
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
What do you think?
I'm here to find someone.
I asked a few questions
near the underpass yesterday,
took a brief nap at the local substation,
then came here to look around.
Wait.
If all three of you are here, then--
I coaxed them to come with me.
They're too weak for their age.
He woke me up at dawn to go hiking.
Such a hassle.
Who are you looking for anyway?
It's a boy who disappeared
eight years ago.
His father was in prison
but was released last week
and reported him missing.
Great!
I had something to report.
-Report?
-Yes.
Hanging around Mr. Jang,
I became interested in missing children.
I joined an online forum,
and I've been doing volunteer work.
I looked up and found out
that quite a lot of people die
from losing their footing.
Especially here in Cheonjung Mountain,
at the cliff near the 1-8 signpost.
Apparently, it's very dangerous.
Here. 1-8.
-Signpost 1-8?
-Yes.
Signpost 1-8.
That's pretty convincing.
Right?
Let's check it out together.
We're on our way there.
We're nearly there.
No, thanks.
The search dog and team are on their way,
so don't worry.
-Just go your way.
-Is that right?
Then we'll just be on our way.
Hey, Wook. Let's go.
Ms. Lee, come on.
Let's go.
But--
Let's go.
-We're already here.
-The detective is busy.
-Good luck.
-Will there be drones too?
-It's 1-8.
-Come on.
Come here.
Bye.
I heard that it's really dangerous there.
Okay. 1-8.
Looks like he saw something again.
The cliff near the 1-8 signpost…
Day 10,896.
Today is field day.
Don't you think it's too much
for a kids' field day?
I think
you and Mr. Jang are too dressed up.
I'm not dressed up.
I just look good in anything.
Hey, Detective Goh.
What's with you? You look tired.
I was nervous
and couldn't sleep well last night.
I don't have to worry
about the race today, do I?
I'm Kim Wook.
I can do this.
Did you all have breakfast?
Of course not.
You cooked so much
and I'm going to eat it all.
Let's eat until we die today.
Die again?
Come on.
You still haven't gotten used to it yet?
This is why you won't do.
Being so rigid won't help you.
I'm not rigid.
I was just joking.
Come on. The kids must be waiting.
Right. Welcome!
-Hi!
-Let's go!
Let's go.
Let's go!
Hurry up.
There's no need to search anywhere else.
There's a signpost that says 1-8.
We'll begin searching from there, got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Hey.
What's going on?
Remember Lee Ro-ha
who was reported missing a few days ago?
The one who was reported
by his dad after prison?
That's him.
We found a witness from eight years ago.
A kidnapping case?
No.
It's an accidental fall.
It's still an assumption,
but I've received credible information.
You monitor the drone footage,
Detective Shin.
We're searching the whole mountain
without sectioning it?
There's a cliff to the north
of the 1-8 signpost.
Exactly that spot.
Let's begin the search from there.
Let's go.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
The Complex 3 field day will now begin!
That's it!
Put the rice cake in your mouth
and go that way.
To where she is standing.
Good job. Now, run!
Let's go.
Can I eat one more?
What? You can't.
Let's go.
You can't…
Show this stamp later,
and you'll receive your prize.
Thank you.
The prizes are awesome.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
There are so many of them.
How about a stamp for me?
A participation prize for Mr. Jang.
I don't know what the prize is,
but it's already making me happy.
Everyone will be getting a prize
so why did you make them practice so hard?
So our kids
can dream.
So they can have goals.
That's wonderful.
But it's also a bit sad.
Thank you, Mr. Jung.
For giving the kids a chance to dream.
You can do it! Go!
Hey, don't throw them at me!
Throw them up!
-Go, team blue!
-You can do it!
We can do this!
Go! Yes!
-You can do it!
-Go, team, go!
Go, team! Hey!
Oh, dear.
Ha-yun! Throw harder!
You're doing great.
Good job, Ha-yun!
Good job.
My goodness.
Why are you crying on such a good day?
It's because I'm so happy.
If they had been alive,
Yeong-rim and Ha-yun
would be 22 years old,
and Ro-ha would be 17.
What about you?
Me?
I don't know.
I don't even want to know.
Me too.
Sometimes…
time being stopped like this
isn't too bad.
Look at that.
The schoolyard
is full of blooming flowers.
Flowers of people.
What's the point?
All those beautiful flowers
have been cut and are here.
And what's wrong with here?
What do you think?
It's a village of ghosts.
Sometimes…
I think that this is heaven.
People say heaven
can't exist without kids.
Is that true?
Look at them.
All those kids…
What else can they be if not angels?
Where did you hear that nice saying?
I don't remember.
Mr. Jung.
Don't just tap lightly, poke deep!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Spread far on the inside
and search there too!
There's nothing over there.
Is that so? Look there.
That's the signpost right there.
Then we went too far.
Gather them closer here,
and tell them to stay close to the cliff.
Tell them to all come here.
Stay close to the cliff and go inside!
Kids, get in line.
Ro-ha.
Are you ready?
HONOR AWARD
POLICE ACADEMY
Yes.
Get ready.
-That's it, Ha-yun!
-Ro-ha!
You're doing great!
-Just a bit more.
-That's it!
-No!
-Just a bit more!
Ro-ha!
But Ro-ha,
why do you want to come in first?
So that I can go to my mom.
Where's your mom?
I don't know. She left in an ambulance.
I couldn't run fast enough, so I lost her.
But Ro-ha, that…
That wasn't because you were slow.
It was because the ambulance was too fast.
So I'll only have to run
faster than a car.
Then I can run to wherever my mom is.
Uncle Sang-cheol.
If I win first place,
I can run as fast as a car, right?
-That's it! Go, Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
Run, Ha-yun!
Ro-ha!
Ro-ha!
Go faster!
That's it! Good job!
Wook!
What did you do?
Ro-ha is in first place.
I told you not to worry.
That's it, Ro-ha! You can do it!
Yes! You're doing great, Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
Detective Shin, Detective Oh!
Come here!
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom…
Mom…
Mom…
Mom!
Mom…
-You can do it!
-Ro-ha!
Come on!
Run!
Ro-ha!
Run, Ro-ha!
-That's it!
-Run, Ro-ha!
-That's it!
-Yes!
They found Ro-ha.
Thank you.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Bye, Ro-ha.
Ro-ha…
Goodbye.
The lonely boy
who came here eight years ago,
left today…
as everyone clapped for him.
You shouldn't drink banana milk!
It's already been 15 years.
They don't know who she is?
So how are we going to find the one
who gave them banana milk?
Someone broke into my home.
He came back and did more bad things.
Have you seen anyone
suspicious around here?
What's this about?
Who disappeared?
Ha-yun.
We have to search quickly.
So that he can never get back out.
Who's there?
Subtitle translation by: Eun-ha Lee
---
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN
AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.
He…
did that?
Finish things up nicely,
then disappear for a while.
I'll go get the stuff when it's time.
Who are you to be getting my stuff?
So why didn't you
do it right in the first place?
You're the one who brought in the snitch.
I told you, I got rid of him nicely.
Sure.
So we have one less thing to worry about.
I'm sorry.
Nice mask.
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.
Wook.
Get out of here.
Where did he go?
He's gone. Let's go.
Go where?
Who is that guy?
He's a friend from middle school
and he sells drugs on social media.
His name is Kim Pil-jung, and he and I--
You were with them?
Murder?
Did you sell drugs and kill people?
I was suspicious of you from the start.
But I didn't think…
that it would be this bad.
Pil-jung will be back.
Hurry up and go.
Does Captain Kang…
know what you're really like?
But you didn't mean to do it.
I practically killed that kid.
Yes, what you did was wrong.
So what?
Whenever I lie down to sleep,
I'm reminded of his face.
I guess guilt
doesn't disappear even when you die.
This is neither heaven nor hell.
It's not a place
where people are punished.
And it's also not a place
where your past is erased.
I know.
Il-yong.
Don't you ever tell others
about yourself from now on.
The things you just told me.
What you did when you were alive.
Never tell others
what happened before you died.
Why not?
Even without your story,
everyone here carries a heavy burden.
So just keep your story buried inside.
As for the price of your sins,
bear it on your own.
Do you hear me?
I'll tell you everything,
so let's go somewhere else.
He's someone who stabbed me
without even blinking an eye.
You don't know what he may do to you.
Let's go.
Damn it.
Yes?
Understood.
When I was young,
my family was really poor.
It was just me and my mom.
But…
my mom was sick
and had to stay home all day.
So I took on all kinds of jobs
since middle school.
I worked myself to the bone,
but I couldn't pay for her medication,
let alone her hospital bills.
Then Pil-jung came to see me.
Your mom's hospital bill.
Ten million won?
That's a huge amount of money.
We were close in middle school.
But I didn't see him around for a while,
and then he showed up rich.
He said he could help me make money.
So I quit all my part-time jobs
and made deliveries as he told me to.
I made so much money
even though the work was easy.
But it was drugs I was delivering.
Drop-off complete.
The mailbox at 26, Gahyeon-ro 47-gil.
Shut the hell up.
Dad, don't do it.
Dad…
Dad!
Dad…
Don't…
-Come on. Let's go.
-Dad…
Dad!
-Hurry up.
-Dad…
Mr. Min, who beat his son to death,
was arrested by the police.
Around 11 p.m. on the 20th,
Mr. Min, from Gahyeon-dong,
started beating his son
who wouldn't stop crying out of hunger.
The eight-year-old
was later found by neighbors
and was sent to a hospital,
but ended up dying.
Mr. Min was under
the influence of drugs at the time…
A few days later, I saw the news
that a druggie father killed his son.
I checked the date
and it was the day
that I delivered the drugs.
It was…
so horrible and scary.
That's when I came to my senses.
If I had stopped him,
if I had reported it…
That boy died because of me.
That's why I'm no different
from a murderer.
And how did you die?
On my way to the police to turn myself in,
I met with Pil-jung
to get him to come with me.
And he stabbed me.
Do you think you paid for
your sins by dying?
No.
My death isn't going to
bring that boy back.
And there was no way
to let the world know what I did
or change what I did.
I guess me dying
and feeling this guilt for eternity
is my punishment.
Not everyone feels guilty
like you do even after they die.
There are many
who never feel guilty to the end.
My mom
passed away in the hospital.
Thankfully, before I died.
I'm a pathetic son.
So you know that?
That's why I couldn't tell you before.
I was ashamed.
So why are you telling me now?
If there's something
that upsets you or makes you angry,
it doesn't have to be me, but…
if there's someone you want to confide in,
talk to that person. Okay?
Just because.
Then…
you went to find him at that club?
It's been a while since I found him.
I was digging into Pil-jung
when I saw Detective Goh.
According to Detective Goh,
that Goliath guy gave all the orders.
Is he also Goliath's henchman?
Henchman?
Pil-jung is Goliath.
Get rid of your phone
and go off the grid for a while.
Right now.
So you're saying…
that Goliath guy
killed you,
kidnapped Se-yeong,
and killed Detective Goh?
-Yes.
-You know where he lives, right?
He moves from one hotel to another.
You're not thinking of going, are you?
Why would I go there?
I'm going to report this.
By the way, Wook.
-In that room--
-Wait!
Don't move.
What? Who?
Me? Why?
He's here, isn't he?
Or here?
What's wrong, Jong-a? You're scaring me.
I know he's here.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Oh Il-yong.
You heard from Wook, right?
I was the one
who found the detective's home.
I'm not bragging or anything,
but I'm pretty skilled.
I'm good at finding people
and things that people hide.
-Hey, Jong-a--
-Anyway,
I'm working hard here
to find things just like you.
So let's compete in good faith.
Here.
We should find everyone
who suffered wrongful deaths, right?
He's not there.
No?
Here.
Not there either.
No?
Here.
What an interesting family.
He held your hand just now.
Really?
Nice to meet you,
Mr. Oh Il-yong.
It's nice to meet you too.
-Get in!
-Yes, sir.
Search the left side.
Yes, sir.
He's not here.
-Stay still.
-Let go of me!
What's this?
You're under arrest
for violating the Narcotics Control Act.
They're completely knocked out.
Wake them up.
Yes, sir.
-Sir.
-Yes?
Turn off the engine.
Stay in your seats.
Gwang-taek. Let's do this the easy way.
-Let go of me!
-Hurry.
Let go!
A raid on the largest drug cartel in Korea
was carried out last night.
The drug cartel operated
chat rooms on social media
and distributed drugs nationwide…
-Proceed.
-Yes, sir.
The leader of the cartel, Goliath,
is a man in his twenties,
and he was found to have disappeared
to escape the police.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
I saw the news.
I heard you busted the whole cartel.
Oh, please.
Junkies don't disappear
just by catching some underlings.
We let them operate
for six months on purpose.
We've been working hard
to catch their leader.
But we lost Goliath.
Any news about Sang-cheol?
Detective Shin is working hard on it.
Okay.
-I'll call you soon.
-All right.
That was Man-sik.
I was about to go meet the informant now.
The informant? They saw Goh Sang-cheol?
Well, I'll have to go find out.
I'll get going.
-Sir, may I join you?
-It's fine, I'll go alone.
-I'm your partner though.
-It's really…
Hey! Did you write up the report?
You didn't, did you?
Go finish that right now.
You are so slow.
I'm off.
You lost him even when
I told you his name and room number?
He's the one who killed Il-yong
and Detective Goh.
And also the one who kidnapped Se-yeong.
Goodness.
He was already gone
when the Drug Squad got there.
Please ask him if there's anywhere
that Kim Pil-jung frequents
or where he might go to.
He moves from one hotel to another,
so we don't have his address.
I think I've seen it all.
To see Detective Shin
asking a ghost for help.
I'm asking you, not the ghost.
So you finally acknowledge my skills.
Where are we going anyway?
To find the car that you mentioned.
Detective Goh's car?
The black one.
Thank you.
Is this his car?
Look at the back seat.
So this is the needle
used on Choi Jeong-ah?
No, sir.
You must not approach.
This is a scene of a crime.
The forensics will be here soon.
Do not touch the evidence.
All right.
The evidence.
This is why I came with you.
What?
You find evidence as if you're a psychic.
It's suspicious.
What do you mean suspicious?
I heard it directly
from the person involved.
That's what I mean.
The person involved is dead.
And you heard it
from a dead man.
Right.
But you should be used to this by now.
I am, but other people will…
Forget it.
I can stay home by myself.
I don't feel comfortable
leaving you here by yourself.
You can study at the café.
White noise is supposed to
help you concentrate.
I feel like a kid when I'm with you.
You take me to and from school.
We met under unique circumstances.
So I wanted to say thanks.
Let's go.
We caught the criminal
and found the needle.
So Detective Goh will be leaving soon.
We haven't found his body yet.
We first have to find
evidence that he's dead.
It's not going to be easy.
We haven't caught Goliath yet.
He's like a rat.
He's a pro at escaping
and getting off the grid.
You really don't know
where he could have gone to?
He's probably far gone by now.
Wasn't he a friend?
What friend stabs you with a knife?
You should have been careful
when choosing friends.
I'm regretting that even when I'm dead.
Good for you.
You have a comeback
for everything, don't you?
I know I don't have the right.
I'm glad you know that.
Oh, dear.
Here we go.
I'll take it.
I'm so happy that there are
so many strong men in this village.
Men are not all the same.
I do the work of 100 men by myself.
Then you take this.
The kids will be waiting. Let's go.
What?
Wait for me.
Be careful.
Goodness, they fight and play
like brothers do.
How nice.
Let's start on the pumpkins.
Oh, dear.
This will do.
What is it?
Did you leave something?
It must have been the wind.
Ro-ha, raise your knees
and pull back your chin.
Tuck in your stomach.
"Spread the strawberry jam on soft bread."
"Don't forget the salty ham."
How are you doing, Detective Goh?
What took you so long to bring the snacks?
You left all these kids to me.
Mr. Jung, Alice.
We brought snacks.
What's wrong?
Take a look at this, Ms. Ahn.
Do you see these yellow parts here?
What do you think they are?
These look like tree trunks.
But I have no clue
what these yellow parts are.
When you look at this,
This yellow
looks like it's blocked by the trees.
Goodness. This is really frustrating.
Do you think we can ask Ro-ha about this?
I won't if it's bad for the kid.
The kids will be here soon, right?
-Yes.
-Okay.
-I should go.
-Okay.
Where are the customers?
Welcome!
You didn't go to work today, Seul-gi?
She quit her job.
And I guess you don't care about me
since I'm jobless.
-You quit?
-Yes.
Everything felt meaningless
after what happened to Jeong-ah.
I've been working too hard.
I plan to take it easy from now on.
Your café is so pretty.
What's the concept here?
I thought this was the wrong place
because it's so deserted around.
Hey, this café will be popular soon.
Industrial-style café alley.
Don't you get it?
It's going to be a hotspot.
-A hotspot?
-Yes.
Then where are your customers?
Did you advertise properly?
Like an opening event?
-Opening event?
-Jong-a.
I'll go see if the dogs are okay.
Sure.
Who's that? A part-time worker?
Just a kid I know.
-You have a barista certificate, right?
-Yes.
-Do you want to work here?
-Sure.
Hey, Jong-a. Why Seul-gi and not me?
She's going to take it easy, remember?
But I'm always hard working
even if I'm unemployed.
Forget it. Let's talk over some coffee.
-All right.
-You can have anything you want.
It's free for today.
Free?
-Really? Then…
-I want the matcha…
I want three pieces of this cake
and an AA Kenyan iced frappuccino
with dulce caramel syrup
and mint chocolate chips
topped with whipped cream.
-Have all three.
-That's all.
-Have everything.
-What is that?
-Jong-a?
-Yes?
SO GOOD COFFEE
Where's Jjamppong?
Jjamppong?
Jjamppong!
Jjamppong!
Where did he go?
FALLING DEBRIS
DO NOT ENTER
It's a puppy.
Hi, puppy.
Hey.
Have you seen Alice?
Everyone else is in the classroom,
but I don't see Alice.
I think I saw her here just a moment ago.
Where did she go?
Maybe she's in the backyard.
-I'll go take a look.
-Okay.
-Then I'll look outside.
-All right.
Hey, Detective Goh.
You go that way.
I'll go take a look
inside the building again.
Okay.
Alice!
What are you doing here by yourself?
There's a puppy in this village?
Gosh.
Let me take a look.
Jjamppong?
Did you…
die?
Alice, where did you find this puppy?
Was it under that tree?
No.
He came from over there.
I see. From there?
Alice!
Alice!
Why do you sound so desperate,
running out of breath?
Did you bring Alice here?
No, I met her on the way here.
-She was playing with Jjamppong.
-Why would Jjamppong be here?
He should be at home.
He looks… Hey, Jjamppong!
Are you dead?
No, I don't think he is.
Alice says
that he appeared from there.
You…
Is he here alone?
Where are Janggun and Meonggun?
I don't see them. He must be here alone.
Ro-ha.
Have you been here?
Yes.
With whom?
I went there alone
because my mom was gone.
I see.
There are so many trees here.
What's this?
I don't know.
Was this next to the tree?
Yes.
-You shouldn't wander around.
-Jjamppong!
Jjamppong.
Bo-ra.
Jjamppong!
Jjamppong…
I've been looking for him everywhere.
Where was he, Mr. Jang?
He was wandering around there
so I brought him.
You must have been worried. Let's go.
My heart almost stopped.
I thought it was another disappearance.
"Another"?
Has Jjamppong disappeared before?
No.
It's not that.
I was just reminded of my mom
and I got scared.
I see.
-Hello.
-Hey, Jun-ho.
Did you get the results?
Not yet. I just got the call myself.
How did you know
that Sang-cheol hid the needle there?
If it were me,
I would have hidden it there.
So I looked there just in case.
Is that so?
That was smart.
-You're here.
-Hello, Doctor.
What are the results?
During the autopsy on Choi Jeong-ah,
we found methamphetamine and zolpidem.
There were also traces
of zolpidem inside the needle.
And the DNA?
Choi Jeong-ah's bloodstains
were found on the needle.
It also matched the mark on her neck.
The conclusion
is that this is the needle used on her.
There are no traces of other people?
Like fingerprints or hair?
No.
Lee Gwang-taek did it.
And Detective Goh hid the evidence.
But how do we prove it?
Shin Jun-ho.
How do you know Lee Gwang-taek?
I told you that I went to see him once.
He didn't seem like a good man.
I heard he went around with Detective Goh.
So he was probably with him
when they kidnapped Choi Jeong-ah.
He probably stuck the needle,
and Detective Goh
probably hid it in his car.
Probably.
Sir, I'll go have a talk
with Lee Gwang-taek.
You?
We aren't done investigating yet.
And don't you know
that our team hates you?
We must find Detective Goh quickly.
Is Lee Gwang-taek in the detention center?
Let's go.
What's up, Ro-ha?
What happened?
I came in last in the race again.
I wanted to come in first.
It's all right.
So what if you didn't come in first?
I know you did your best.
Then should I always be the last?
I want to win!
That's not what I meant.
I never said
you should always be the last.
Lee Jin-seong went to prison
in February of 2013
for vehicular manslaughter.
And a month later in March,
his wife, Goh Eun-jeong, went to see him.
So she was with her son,
Ro-ha, until then.
When was she admitted
to the mental hospital?
In November of 2014.
Did you check
the national health insurance bills?
She failed to pay for eight years.
Really?
I knew it.
Apparently, there are
26 hospitalized patients here
who haven't paid their bills.
We can't turn away patients
just because they don't have money.
You get about 70 million a month
from the government for that, don't you?
That can't even cover
the cost of running the hospital.
In 2013,
your monthly support
was nearly 200 million won.
I heard there were many cases of patients
being forcefully hospitalized
through brokers back then.
We've never done that.
Of course not.
We applied for a warrant
for your records going back a decade.
Hey.
Where did you bring Goh Eun-jeong from?
Yes, sir.
The ambulance company
that took Goh Eun-jeong disappeared.
They erased all records
before they were investigated.
Those bastards.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Have you seen these people, by any chance?
I don't recognize them.
You?
Hello.
The food's here.
Hello.
-You must be hungry.
-Yes.
Please wait just a minute.
I'll give you plenty.
-I'd like a lot.
-Sure.
I'll give you plenty.
These are Ro-ha's shoes.
LEE RO-HA
FROM NOVEMBER 6, 2014
Ro-ha was wearing those when he came here.
They were so worn out
that I got him a new pair and kept those.
He must have been through so much.
How did he get here?
He lost his mom.
He lost his way in the mountains
looking for his mom
and came all the way here.
He doesn't remember
any of the hardship he went through.
But look at those shoes.
It's all there.
I can feel fear from the drawing.
I think it's a place
somewhere in his memories.
Ro-ha.
This is where you were?
-Try to make that straight.
-Hey.
Hold on tight.
I used to do this all the time
when I was a student.
You keep getting it crooked.
No.
To the left.
You shouldn't go left like this.
Go right like this…
Hey!
I told you to…
I'll do it.
Where did Detective Goh go,
leaving this to me?
Well…
I heard
that you're the best at drawing.
I'm not good at drawing.
Want to know a secret?
I'm actually…
a crybaby.
But you're a policeman.
How can a policeman be a crybaby?
Be quiet.
I told you, it's a secret.
But policemen are supposed to be brave.
You're right.
Policemen are supposed to be brave.
Do you know
what I did to be brave?
I held this tightly
and recited in my heart.
"I'm not a crybaby."
"I'm not a crybaby."
And guess what happened next?
What happened?
I really became brave.
That's a lie.
No, it's not. A policeman can't lie.
Look. This is a real policeman's medal.
HONOR AWARD
POLICE ACADEMY
You're right.
A real policeman's medal.
Right?
This is my treasure.
It's my gift to you.
Here. When you run tomorrow,
hold this tight.
And as you run,
recite in your heart
that you're going to come in first.
Then can I really come in first place?
Yes.
-Mr. Jung.
-Yes?
Where's Ms. Ahn?
She's over there.
She went to the office to get the flags.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Ms. Ahn, let me take that.
Show me Ro-ha's drawings.
-Okay.
-Thanks.
He definitely went to the mountains.
And he certainly saw trees.
You're sure he really saw this?
Yes.
He saw this next to the trees,
but he said he didn't know what it was.
I went to every mountain
in the country for over 15 years
looking for Hyeon-ji.
Every time I did,
I resented how the mountains
were so tall, steep, and thick with trees.
But it wasn't the mountains' fault.
It was because I was anxious.
I'm sure it was the same for Ro-ha.
That young boy must have been
so scared, lost in the woods.
I saw that in his drawings.
Yes.
But…
we missed one thing.
Those trees must have looked
ten times bigger to Ro-ha.
So if you want to draw all those trees,
one sheet of drawing paper
wouldn't be enough.
You mean all of these are…
This is what Ro-ha saw that day.
This was it.
There's nothing I can do
to change anything now.
But I still want to know
where Hyeon-ji went and what she saw.
I feel the same for Ro-ha.
Even though we failed
to protect the kids as adults,
I would still like to find out
what happened to them.
I could do that at least.
The kids here
are just like Hyeon-ji to me.
Is it already kimchi-making season?
Why are you making so much?
There are so many people in this village.
We need lots of food on the table
to satisfy all the ghosts.
You already made rice cakes.
And you prepared so much
glass noodles for japchae.
Il-yong, when will the cabbages be ready?
They're ready!
Anyway, it's all thanks to you
that the villagers all look so healthy.
I'm glad you know.
Add more red pepper powder.
Here you go.
-Put it there.
-Okay.
-Put the cabbages in here.
-Okay.
Again.
I didn't take you for a slacker.
But you are.
I didn't see you at the field earlier.
That was because of Ro-ha.
What about Ro-ha?
I assured him that he would finish first
in tomorrow's race.
But Ro-ha has always come in last.
You're bad at lying.
Why did you do that?
He wanted it so desperately
that I didn't want to hurt him.
Detective Goh.
You've finally grown up.
Don't worry.
I'll make Ro-ha's wish come true.
Tomorrow, he's going to come in first.
But how?
Stop putting that in.
It's going to be too spicy.
I remember you from the underpass.
Right.
We're actually looking for a kid
who stayed there
with his mom eight years ago.
But there's no one who remembers them.
I heard you've been
volunteering there for over ten years.
Volunteering?
Handing out leftover food
is nothing so grand.
Sir.
By any chance…
do you know these people?
-I know them.
-You do?
Wait.
Here.
He drew this for me.
It looks like you.
Your hair must have been black back then.
Years go by so fast.
I saw them for the first time
at that underpass.
The kid looked so hungry
that I brought them
to the restaurant and fed them.
Is it good?
Yes.
-Eat up.
-Thank you.
Here.
Oh, dear.
How did you hurt your hand?
While working at a construction site.
I'm not used to the work yet.
And about a month later…
She seemed to be doing worse
and was living
on the streets with her son.
The mother
cared so much for her son.
Eat up.
Thank you.
That afternoon, I saw them eat lunch.
But the next day,
I couldn't find them.
I heard that an ambulance
took her in the morning.
I asked them if her son went with her
and was told that the boy
ran after the ambulance, crying.
I haven't seen them since.
I was worried,
so I even went
to the springs in the mountains.
Wait a minute.
Do you mean…
Cheonjung Mountain?
Why did you go there?
His mom used to
take her son there for a walk.
Wait.
Here it is.
This is it.
-Is that it?
-This is it.
You really found the place
thanks to all your early morning hikes!
No, it wasn't me.
Ro-ha gave me a hint.
And I just realized what it meant.
Found it.
Look closely.
The signpost in Ro-ha's drawing
exists in 13 mountains in Korea.
Nine of them were installed
during the past seven years,
so take them out.
There are these four left.
The Daebong Mountain trail
was closed eight years ago
because of a mountain fire.
That one is on an island
that takes three hours by boat.
So that's also out.
Now among these two,
the most likely would be…
CHEONJUNG MOUNTAIN
…this one.
Cheonjung Mountain?
Hurry up.
Here it is. 1-1.
It's just like how it looked
in the drawing.
Come on. We have to hurry.
We're a long way away from 1-8.
Right. Let's hurry.
Get a move on, Wook.
Mr. Jang!
-What?
-Mr. Jang!
Isn't that Detective Baek?
Is that you, Mr. Jang?
Hey, Detective Baek!
What are you doing here so early?
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
What do you think?
I'm here to find someone.
I asked a few questions
near the underpass yesterday,
took a brief nap at the local substation,
then came here to look around.
Wait.
If all three of you are here, then--
I coaxed them to come with me.
They're too weak for their age.
He woke me up at dawn to go hiking.
Such a hassle.
Who are you looking for anyway?
It's a boy who disappeared
eight years ago.
His father was in prison
but was released last week
and reported him missing.
Great!
I had something to report.
-Report?
-Yes.
Hanging around Mr. Jang,
I became interested in missing children.
I joined an online forum,
and I've been doing volunteer work.
I looked up and found out
that quite a lot of people die
from losing their footing.
Especially here in Cheonjung Mountain,
at the cliff near the 1-8 signpost.
Apparently, it's very dangerous.
Here. 1-8.
-Signpost 1-8?
-Yes.
Signpost 1-8.
That's pretty convincing.
Right?
Let's check it out together.
We're on our way there.
We're nearly there.
No, thanks.
The search dog and team are on their way,
so don't worry.
-Just go your way.
-Is that right?
Then we'll just be on our way.
Hey, Wook. Let's go.
Ms. Lee, come on.
Let's go.
But--
Let's go.
-We're already here.
-The detective is busy.
-Good luck.
-Will there be drones too?
-It's 1-8.
-Come on.
Come here.
Bye.
I heard that it's really dangerous there.
Okay. 1-8.
Looks like he saw something again.
The cliff near the 1-8 signpost…
Day 10,896.
Today is field day.
Don't you think it's too much
for a kids' field day?
I think
you and Mr. Jang are too dressed up.
I'm not dressed up.
I just look good in anything.
Hey, Detective Goh.
What's with you? You look tired.
I was nervous
and couldn't sleep well last night.
I don't have to worry
about the race today, do I?
I'm Kim Wook.
I can do this.
Did you all have breakfast?
Of course not.
You cooked so much
and I'm going to eat it all.
Let's eat until we die today.
Die again?
Come on.
You still haven't gotten used to it yet?
This is why you won't do.
Being so rigid won't help you.
I'm not rigid.
I was just joking.
Come on. The kids must be waiting.
Right. Welcome!
-Hi!
-Let's go!
Let's go.
Let's go!
Hurry up.
There's no need to search anywhere else.
There's a signpost that says 1-8.
We'll begin searching from there, got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Hey.
What's going on?
Remember Lee Ro-ha
who was reported missing a few days ago?
The one who was reported
by his dad after prison?
That's him.
We found a witness from eight years ago.
A kidnapping case?
No.
It's an accidental fall.
It's still an assumption,
but I've received credible information.
You monitor the drone footage,
Detective Shin.
We're searching the whole mountain
without sectioning it?
There's a cliff to the north
of the 1-8 signpost.
Exactly that spot.
Let's begin the search from there.
Let's go.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
The Complex 3 field day will now begin!
That's it!
Put the rice cake in your mouth
and go that way.
To where she is standing.
Good job. Now, run!
Let's go.
Can I eat one more?
What? You can't.
Let's go.
You can't…
Show this stamp later,
and you'll receive your prize.
Thank you.
The prizes are awesome.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
There are so many of them.
How about a stamp for me?
A participation prize for Mr. Jang.
I don't know what the prize is,
but it's already making me happy.
Everyone will be getting a prize
so why did you make them practice so hard?
So our kids
can dream.
So they can have goals.
That's wonderful.
But it's also a bit sad.
Thank you, Mr. Jung.
For giving the kids a chance to dream.
You can do it! Go!
Hey, don't throw them at me!
Throw them up!
-Go, team blue!
-You can do it!
We can do this!
Go! Yes!
-You can do it!
-Go, team, go!
Go, team! Hey!
Oh, dear.
Ha-yun! Throw harder!
You're doing great.
Good job, Ha-yun!
Good job.
My goodness.
Why are you crying on such a good day?
It's because I'm so happy.
If they had been alive,
Yeong-rim and Ha-yun
would be 22 years old,
and Ro-ha would be 17.
What about you?
Me?
I don't know.
I don't even want to know.
Me too.
Sometimes…
time being stopped like this
isn't too bad.
Look at that.
The schoolyard
is full of blooming flowers.
Flowers of people.
What's the point?
All those beautiful flowers
have been cut and are here.
And what's wrong with here?
What do you think?
It's a village of ghosts.
Sometimes…
I think that this is heaven.
People say heaven
can't exist without kids.
Is that true?
Look at them.
All those kids…
What else can they be if not angels?
Where did you hear that nice saying?
I don't remember.
Mr. Jung.
Don't just tap lightly, poke deep!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Spread far on the inside
and search there too!
There's nothing over there.
Is that so? Look there.
That's the signpost right there.
Then we went too far.
Gather them closer here,
and tell them to stay close to the cliff.
Tell them to all come here.
Stay close to the cliff and go inside!
Kids, get in line.
Ro-ha.
Are you ready?
HONOR AWARD
POLICE ACADEMY
Yes.
Get ready.
-That's it, Ha-yun!
-Ro-ha!
You're doing great!
-Just a bit more.
-That's it!
-No!
-Just a bit more!
Ro-ha!
But Ro-ha,
why do you want to come in first?
So that I can go to my mom.
Where's your mom?
I don't know. She left in an ambulance.
I couldn't run fast enough, so I lost her.
But Ro-ha, that…
That wasn't because you were slow.
It was because the ambulance was too fast.
So I'll only have to run
faster than a car.
Then I can run to wherever my mom is.
Uncle Sang-cheol.
If I win first place,
I can run as fast as a car, right?
-That's it! Go, Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
Run, Ha-yun!
Ro-ha!
Ro-ha!
Go faster!
That's it! Good job!
Wook!
What did you do?
Ro-ha is in first place.
I told you not to worry.
That's it, Ro-ha! You can do it!
Yes! You're doing great, Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Ha-yun!
-Let's go!
Detective Shin, Detective Oh!
Come here!
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom…
Mom…
Mom…
Mom!
Mom…
-You can do it!
-Ro-ha!
Come on!
Run!
Ro-ha!
Run, Ro-ha!
-That's it!
-Run, Ro-ha!
-That's it!
-Yes!
They found Ro-ha.
Thank you.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Bye, Ro-ha.
Ro-ha…
Goodbye.
The lonely boy
who came here eight years ago,
left today…
as everyone clapped for him.
You shouldn't drink banana milk!
It's already been 15 years.
They don't know who she is?
So how are we going to find the one
who gave them banana milk?
Someone broke into my home.
He came back and did more bad things.
Have you seen anyone
suspicious around here?
What's this about?
Who disappeared?
Ha-yun.
We have to search quickly.
So that he can never get back out.
Who's there?
