THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN
AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.
Do you think those are Ro-ha's remains?
Yes.
I'm sure.
That's definitely Ro-ha.
Still…
Let's wait for the test results.
How are you so sure? It's not like you.
Well…
This morning…
three mountain gods showed up
and told me about this.
Sir!
We found this under the remains.
It looks like a boy's shoe.
Sir!
We brought him.
Did you find Ro-ha?
Yes.
Do you perhaps
recognize this?
I got this for his eighth birthday.
He was growing so fast…
that I got him a pair
that was a size bigger.
He said his toes were swimming inside.
Where was he?
This is…
the trail Ro-ha often walked with his mom.
I think
he came here looking for his mom.
Ro-ha.
Ro-ha…
Ro-ha…
Ro-ha!
I'm…
sorry, Ro-ha…
CLOSED TODAY
You cried again?
Who cried?
There's a detective I know
that's a crybaby.
Do you feel nothing?
What do you mean?
Ro-ha disappeared
right in front of our eyes.
So did Ms. Yang
and Seung-jae.
They were people who were here
before you came.
This place is like that.
If your body is found
you disappear from here.
I still find it hard to believe
that I'm dead.
And now I could even disappear.
What happens next?
What else is there?
No idea. That's all I know.
What did you do for Ro-ha?
It was you, wasn't it?
Someone
must have found his body.
That's why he disappeared.
I meant about his race.
Oh, that?
Sang-yun had a mosquito bite on his leg
and Ji-woo hurt her toe when she fell.
Ha-yun and Yeong-rim couldn't run
as fast as usual because their legs hurt.
What?
Ro-ha and his friends
all did their best.
So the kids helped him out.
Isn't it beautiful?
Among all the races I've seen,
this one was the best.
By now…
Ro-ha probably met his mom, right?
He believed that if he won the race,
he could run to his mom.
I hope it came true.
This is a very strange place.
You realized that now?
At first,
I wanted to run away because I was afraid.
But now…
I find this place interesting.
Thank you.
Like you said,
it was a great race.
I could have taken the bus.
Goliath is still at large,
so it's too dangerous.
And that house isn't safe.
I was going to move anyway.
The ladies in our neighborhood
have big mouths,
so Bo-ra is very stressed out.
We plan to stay at a friend's place
until we find a new home.
Don't you think staying with Wook
would be safer for now?
He seems to think the same.
I suppose so.
I heard that you paid our rent.
I wanted to repay you,
so I carried this around with me.
Thank you.
You didn't have to pay me back so fast.
Yes, I did. I'll put it in here.
You know how to use
that smartwatch, right?
Of course.
I'm going to report
just about anything suspicious.
Go see Bo-ra.
I'll wait in front of the school.
What are you eating?
-Did you see it?
-Did you?
Bo-ra.
Mom!
You guys go ahead.
-Bye.
-See you.
-How have you been?
-Good.
Is it okay for you to be out?
Can we go home now?
No.
We're going to move.
I'm going to stay at Aunt Ji-yeong's
until we find a new place.
But I think you'll be better off
where you are for now.
Okay. I'd prefer that too.
Are they good to you?
Yes!
Dad acts tough but he's actually soft.
Jong-a is so cool.
And Mr. Jang has my back no matter what.
Enjoy your food.
Thank you.
Let me see your stamp.
Stay still.
BANANA MILK
-Thank you.
-I have two stamps.
-Enjoy.
-This stamp is fake!
-Come on!
-What do you mean?
One more.
-Thank you.
-All right, Captain Kang.
Two baskets!
-Applause!
-Give me that.
Where did you get all this?
From a fountain that never runs dry.
This is a miracle.
This village is a miracle in itself.
It all makes sense when you believe that.
-All right.
-Give me one more.
Oh, come on.
Detective Goh, take one.
Yes, at least take
the participation prize.
It's weirder if you don't take it.
Show me the stamp.
I don't have one.
You don't?
If you don't, here!
Get the stamp.
Give me this hand too.
This is Ro-ha's.
It's a plaque of appreciation.
Thanks to you,
Ro-ha came in first in the race.
I didn't do anything.
Thank you.
See?
Isn't it nice to get a prize?
Yes.
See you later.
Next!
Hey! Lee Yeong-rim!
I told you not to drink those!
But it's good.
You idiot.
You shouldn't drink banana milk!
That's bad.
Yeong-rim, Ha-yun.
Come on, we had so much fun back there.
What's going on?
Look.
This idiot was drinking banana milk.
Why can't he drink it?
Is he allergic?
Because of that, we can't go home
or see our parents.
I'm sorry. I won't drink it.
Ha-yun.
My goodness.
What's with them?
Did he drink this?
Yes. I gave it to him.
Yeong-rim drank that
and Ha-yun told him not to.
She said he's here because of this.
I should have told you about this,
but I forgot to.
You shouldn't give them banana milk.
Why not?
Let me put Alice to bed first.
Then I'll tell you the story.
She must've been so tired. She's out cold.
Where was I?
That's right.
This wicked woman
gave banana milk
to the kids in the playground.
And they fell asleep after drinking that.
When Ha-yun woke up,
she found Yeong-rim sleeping next to her
and that woman watching TV.
She berated Ha-yun for waking up
and gave her that milk again.
She cried and refused to drink it.
When she came to her senses,
she found herself here.
It's all so vivid
as if it happened yesterday.
Where are we?
I don't know.
There's no need to be afraid.
Are you two siblings?
No.
He's an idiot.
He can't even read yet.
So don't hurt my friend.
Are you protecting him?
He's my friend.
I want to go home.
We live in Yeonggi-dong.
But where are we?
Could you…
please take me to my mom?
Please?
How could she do that
to those nice little kids?
And they don't know who she is?
No.
They'd never seen her before.
It's already been 15 years.
If Yeong-rim and Ha-yun were alive,
they'd be cool college students by now.
Does Mr. Jang know about this?
Yes.
So that's what happened
to Ha-yun and Yeong-rim.
So how are we going to find the one
who gave them banana milk?
He asks me
about the villagers all the time.
Like when did they get here
and what happened when they were alive.
And he writes down everything I tell him.
That's what he does best.
That's how he found Ro-ha.
Oh, please.
I know that he did his best
and that you did your best
to look for Ro-ha.
I heard it from Il-yong.
So I know.
I'm so grateful for all that you did,
that I didn't know how to say thank you.
You're doing so much for us
but there's nothing we do for you.
Please, don't say that.
You've fed us so many times.
I'm thankful that you think that way.
Speaking of food,
why do you always cook for us?
A long time ago,
someone who had been here
for a while told me
that people don't become useless
when they're dead.
But that they die
when they become useless.
So the reason why you cook for us so much
is because…
What are you guys talking about
that you don't even notice me?
You're here.
We were talking
about Yeong-rim and Ha-yun.
I see.
I'm so tired from cleaning up.
Il-yong and Detective Goh are still at it.
Hey, Wook.
Go get me a glass of water.
-Okay.
-I'll get it.
I know my kitchen the best.
I think Captain Kang
cooks for the villagers
because she wants to remain
useful even after dying.
Did she tell you that?
Not in those words exactly.
But I think I'm right.
What are you talking about?
Jong-a, and this?
That's Mr. Jang's.
Do you do all the laundry?
No, we each take care
of our own underwear,
and I only do the laundry
in the laundry room.
I do the laundry,
Mr. Jang does the cooking,
and Wook does the cleaning.
We take turns walking the dogs.
And now we have you.
Mr. Jang's been so happy since you came.
Well, I'm a good cook.
Goodness.
I'll take these upstairs.
Okay, then I'll take the first floor.
Thank you!
What is this?
FROM: PO BOX 90 7107, SEONGJU POST OFFICE
SEONGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
What are these?
Are they all from the same person?
We're home.
I'm so hungry.
You too?
Even if I eat something in the village,
I feel famished when I get home.
It's strange.
-I know.
-The food must disappear.
We'll just have to eat again here.
You're home.
Hey, Jong-a. They found Ro-ha.
Really? That's great.
It's all thanks to you.
You told Detective Baek the exact spot.
How could you be so bold?
I couldn't have done it if it were me.
I guess you have to be bold to succeed.
Welcome home.
Hey, Bo-ra.
What's with your outfits?
Did you really go around
dressed like that?
We had a field day.
What's wrong with our clothes?
This is nice, isn't it?
Don't I look cool?
I'm white and he's blue.
We look cool.
Where did I put the key?
My goodness…
I've been so forgetful lately.
Day 10,896.
Today is field day.
THE 1ST…
Ten years ago,
when Professor Jung came to the village,
he wanted to open a school
and have field days.
"Exercise for the dead?"
"He's such an overeager
and boisterous guy."
That's what I thought.
-Come on.
-It needs to be wider.
THE 3RD COMPLEX 3 FIELD DAY
You're so bad at this.
Go, Hyeon-ji!
-Go, Hyeon-ji!
-Let's go!
Hyeon-ji!
THE 5TH MUJIGAE FIELD DAY
THE 6TH MUJIGAE FIELD DAY
-Did you tie it up?
-Yes. And you?
All done.
Slowly.
THE 8TH MUJIGAE BRANCH SCHOOL
EXCITING FIELD DAY
Be careful.
Where are you going?
-We went too far.
-Okay.
-Hey, don't push.
-All right.
-Come on!
-Just a bit.
It's the tenth event already.
TEAM BLUE, TEAM WHITE
It is now the biggest festival
of the year in the village.
Had they been alive,
they would have attended high school
and gone to college by now.
Watching them
makes me happy and sad.
It makes me smile,
but it's also heartbreaking.
Those beautiful flowers…
They were cut down
before they could even bloom.
People say heaven
can't exist without kids.
But these kids shouldn't have been here
even if that may make this place hell.
They should have never come here.
And…
our Ro-ha…
The lonely boy
who came here eight years ago,
left today as everyone clapped for him.
He used to eat two bowls of rice
saying he wants to grow strong.
And he ended up winning first place.
I'm so happy that he left like that.
And I'm also grateful to the people
who found him.
I'm just so grateful.
Ro-ha.
Next time,
be born in a world where there are
only good adults.
Would this send Ro-ha to a better place?
Want to do it?
LEE RO-HA, 9 YEARS OLD
BORN ON OCTOBER 3, 2006…
No.
Just light it up.
You must've been so lonely and scared.
You rascal.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Burn all the bad memories.
Let's pray that he forgets them all
and is set free.
I'm heading in.
FROM: PO BOX 90 7107, SEONGJU POST OFFICE
SEONGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
Did you upset him again?
I didn't.
It's clear that you did.
Yes?
Why aren't you asleep yet?
What are you doing tomorrow?
It's Saturday.
Tomorrow? Why?
Now that Mom is out…
Can we go see Mom tomorrow?
We could eat something delicious.
Never mind if you're busy.
I'll just ask Detective Shin
to give me a ride.
You always go for him.
I can go.
Let's go eat something good then.
I'm going.
Look at the time.
Go to bed now.
Yes!
The doll!
Choi Young-bae.
When Alice disappeared this afternoon,
we searched around the lake
and found a boat.
She was inside the boat.
Who did you play with on the boat?
I played with the fish.
Then, that time…
How did he get out?
He said he could never come out.
Hurry up, Dad!
Bo-ra.
Here.
A dash of color looks good.
It's so pretty.
Let's go.
Hey, wait!
Well…
Who's this?
Who are you?
It's me, Bo-ra.
-Are you two going on a date?
-No.
My mom's also coming.
A date?
Aren't you just going out to eat?
Wait.
Why are you so dressed up?
Aren't those the clothes I got for you?
We're just going out to eat.
It's the same thing.
Whatever it is.
Have fun. Go now.
-Let's go.
-We'll see you later.
-Okay.
-Bye.
Come home early!
Go on.
You don't like it?
Wook eating with another woman?
Don't be so temperamental.
Not only that…
Lee Dong-min…
He sent letters to Wook from prison.
He sent one every month
for ten months now.
What did he say?
All kinds of nonsense.
There was nothing special,
but I have a bad feeling.
Why did he send those letters?
And why didn't Wook tell us about them?
Probably because
he didn't want us to worry.
You know he never talks about himself.
What if he's planning something
inside the prison?
That's what I'm worried about too.
Don't be.
You're a lot prettier.
What?
You're prettier.
Are you two each other's first love?
Why do you want to know that?
She was for me.
I wasn't for you?
I just…
You were too.
It's my first time
seeing you look embarrassed.
Oh, right.
Did you know
that your nickname is Mr. Perfect?
Bo-ra.
Why am I Mr. Perfect?
Because you're so handsome.
Mr. Perfect.
So I made it clear to my friends.
That I'm pretty because I take after you.
What are you talking about?
You take after me.
You're my daughter.
I don't.
Look. Our double eyelids,
high nose, and small face.
What's with you two?
Bo-ra said that to me when we first met.
I don't know where she got it from.
I told you, I got it from you.
Mom, when Dad and I first met,
he kept denying that he was my dad.
He's the one in the picture
but said he wasn't my dad.
He's not.
-What?
-Don't speak with your mouth full.
Let's eat, then go for dessert.
Okay.
Where's Bo-ra?
The restroom.
She's so excited right now.
She ate more than she usually does.
Why did you do that earlier?
The first love thing?
It wasn't a lie.
But you dumped me though.
Not that.
Letting Bo-ra call you Dad.
And her saying that she takes after you.
Now that I think about it,
she does take after me.
Stop joking your way out.
You haven't changed a bit.
I told her that I wasn't her dad.
She just doesn't believe me.
There must be a reason
why she believes that.
She just misunderstood.
I'll talk to her.
I didn't have the chance to tell her
at the hospital with the cops and all.
Do it later.
She's going through
a tough time right now.
I'll find a house
and take her as soon as I can.
Thank you for taking
such good care of her.
I know you're doing this for Bo-ra,
but if this goes on any longer,
it could hurt her more.
And me too.
Bo-ra, are you okay?
I thought you were eating too much.
I'm not sick.
Let's go have dessert now.
Wait.
Captain!
Captain.
Captain!
Scanning.
Scanning.
Scanning.
Were you looking for me, Captain Kang?
Hey, Hye-ju.
Could you stay here
with Alice for a while?
I'll be right back.
Sure.
Detective Goh, are you home?
Detective Goh!
Yes?
So you were home. Let's talk inside.
What's wrong?
Well…
When we had the field day,
someone broke into my home.
Broke in?
Was anything taken?
A doll that was in my room.
A doll?
Then do you think…
a kid did it?
It's not a kid.
I know who stole it.
Please catch him for me.
You're a police officer,
so you can handle this, right?
I saw that you had a gun too.
So who did it?
Before I tell you…
I'd like you to
keep quiet about this.
I don't want the villagers to know
and worry about it.
The kids will be scared too.
I'll be careful.
So who did it?
Choi Young-bae.
He's a bad man
who does nasty things to kids.
He's a lot taller than you
and has a thin face.
His eyes are bleary
like those of rotten fish.
He never looks people in the eyes.
If you see anyone that you don't know
who wasn't at the field day,
just catch them.
If he's a child molester,
then he could be hiding near the school
or other places that kids go often.
Which is why you need
to catch him quickly.
Okay.
Il-yong!
Where is he going?
FALLING DEBRIS
DO NOT ENTER
Are you sure this is the right place?
The movie theater is that way.
I'll go with Hye-yeong after her academy.
All right.
Then have fun at the movies.
Don't come home too late.
Why are you smiling?
Because I'm happy.
I had a meal with my mom and dad.
Our first family outing together.
Then enjoy your movie
and I'll see you at home.
Okay.
-See you.
-Have fun.
Excuse me.
There's no way Pil-jung
would come to this place.
What are you doing here?
You startled me.
What are you doing here, Mr. Jung?
I was weeding.
And you?
I was patrolling the area.
To make sure that the school zone is safe.
By the way…
Have you seen anyone
suspicious around here?
Anyone suspicious?
Right now,
you're the most suspicious one here.
Me?
Did Captain Kang put you up to this?
Or is it because you
became fond of the kids?
Like Ro-ha?
Something like that.
Or not exactly.
Continue with your patrolling.
While you're at it,
make sure the kids get home safe.
I'll leave this in your capable hands.
-Sorry?
-I also patrol the area around this time.
You never know what can happen to kids.
This is my weapon.
Good luck.
I'll see you later.
You want to ask Ha-yun about it?
Yes.
I think she remembers
what happened quite clearly.
She may not know who the woman is
but if we ask her what she saw,
we might find a clue.
I considered that too,
but I didn't want to scare her.
Why don't we create
a comfortable environment first,
then ask her in a roundabout way?
You're close to Ha-yun.
Okay.
Well…
anything else?
Like what?
How did the date with Bo-ra's mom go?
Did anyone try to bother you?
It wasn't a date.
We just had a meal together.
Dressed up like this?
What do you mean?
I'm always dressed like this.
Sure.
Goodness.
My goodness.
You're napping too long.
You won't get much sleep tonight.
It's me, Wook!
What were you doing in there?
I was thirsty and just wanted a drink.
And there was no one here.
I thought it was a burglar.
Why were you so surprised?
I thought you were a burglar.
Are you here alone?
Where's Mr. Jang?
We came together
but he went to see Mr. Jung.
To get Ha-yun and Yeong-rim's
school records.
Well…
were you on a date?
Come on! Why does everyone
say it was a date?
It was just a meal.
So it was a date.
I'll get you a drink.
Barley tea, please.
Ha-yun and Yeong-rim.
Here are their school records
for ten years.
Eun-hee did a good job of keeping records.
Thank you.
Sorry for making you stay late.
No one's home waiting for me anyway.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Don't you want to see your family?
You never talk about them.
I think I heard more about Hyeon-ji
than I did about you.
Hyeon-ji was a star around here.
You remind me of her whenever I see you.
I miss her a lot.
She must be so happy to know
that everyone loves her.
Isn't it surprising?
That even the dead can make memories
and miss each other.
Yes.
Aren't you tired of this place?
You've been here for so long.
Want to know something funny?
Here…
The death rate
is zero.
Because you can't die again.
Right.
I'm going this way.
You missed your street.
Goodbye.
Get home safe.
Look at this.
It's way bigger than mine.
This is definitely a man's footprint.
Who's there?
I know you're there. Come out.
My goodness!
What are you doing here?
I was just…
Never mind.
Anyway…
There's nothing over there.
Why are you coming from there?
I was just
taking a walk,
organizing my thoughts and stuff…
Wait.
Are those handcuffs?
Did something happen in the village?
What's taking him so long?
Is he writing out the records himself?
Ms. Ahn.
Ha-yun disappeared.
What?
She went to Yeong-rim's place a while ago
and when I went to get her after sundown,
she wasn't there.
When did she leave?
Are Ha-yun's belongings still there?
Yes, they're all there.
She left before sunset, so around 5 p.m.
What's this about? Who disappeared?
Ha-yun.
We have to search quickly.
It's Choi Young-bae's doing!
Who?
Choi Young-bae!
Ha-yun.
You must have been so scared.
I went to get water
because you said you were thirsty.
But I couldn't get it.
But I brought a doll for you.
I'm sure he went this way.
Where did he go?
Il-yong and I'll go to the lake.
Detective Goh, you gather the villagers
and check every corner.
-Okay.
-I'll go let Mr. Jung know.
Okay. Let's go.
No, you should stay with Alice.
No, take me with you.
Hye-ju, take Alice and stay with Mr. Jung.
There's no time for this.
Let's go.
Ha-yun.
You bastard!
You punk!
After Alice disappeared before,
I was too focused on her
that I didn't pay attention to Ha-yun.
I should have kept her with me.
It wasn't your fault.
You bastard!
Did you hear that?
What's your deal?
You bastard!
You punk!
You piece of trash!
Don't get in my way!
Are you okay?
Who the hell are you?
Ha-yun!
My goodness, sweetie!
What's all this?
You're safe now.
Are you hurt?
Sweetie, were you scared?
Sang-cheol, hurry!
How did you know to come here?
I followed that footprint we saw.
The footprint?
Why did you come here alone?
You could have been in danger.
My goodness…
Are you hurt anywhere?
I'm fine. I'm just worried about her.
You bastard! You deserve to die!
That piece of trash.
Sweetie…
You should take her away.
Okay.
Can you stand up?
There we go.
What should we do with him?
We have to get rid of him!
I'll take care of this.
Okay, you do that then.
You have your gun, right?
Weigh him down with rocks
and throw him in the lake.
Or dig a hole and bury him.
So that he can never get back out.
I should have done that 15 years ago.
You're not really going to do that,
are you?
There's no reason why I shouldn't!
Even death is too good
for the likes of you!
You're right.
Did you hear that?
No.
Come on. Hurry up.
Hold him tight.
Let go of me.
Stay still.
-Tie him up.
-Let go.
Let me go!
I said, let go!
Shut up!
In here
there's no need for Miranda rights.
There's no need to even consider
human rights for scum like you.
Why not?
I came here
because I was wrongfully killed too.
What did you say?
You damn…
A piece of trash like you
and people here are different.
What's so different?
You really have to ask?
I don't want to talk long
with scum like you,
so just answer my questions.
Who killed you?
What?
He came here 15 years ago?
Yes.
Where has he been all these years?
I never saw him once.
He kept doing nasty things
to Ha-yun back then.
So Comrade Jeong and I
took him to the island and left him there.
Don't even think about coming back.
You brought this on yourself
so don't blame anybody else.
If you're lucky,
you might get to disappear someday.
You can't leave me in a place like this!
How dare you say that, you piece of trash!
How could you do that?
No need to answer him.
Let's go.
He can't possibly
swim out of there, can he?
He doesn't know how to swim, remember?
And over this long distance?
You're right.
The water is also deep.
He won't get out of there alive,
so don't worry.
What if he does, dead?
You can't die here as you wish.
I doubt it will happen,
but if he does return to the village,
I'll find another way to exile him.
So just trust me.
Okay.
Comrade Jeong.
You have to row the other way.
We have to go in that direction.
So that's why the boat was on land.
Still, look what happened.
He came back and did more bad things.
I'm so sick of this place.
No matter how hard we try,
it all ends up being useless.
You can't run away.
And you can't even die.
How can he be put here with innocent kids?
Aren't we all just…
some mice in a trap?
Captain Kang.
It must have been hard
handling this on your own.
It wasn't me.
Ha-yun went through a lot.
I should go and find Choi Young-bae first.
That way the kids will be safe.
But he died 15 years ago.
Finding him won't be easy.
We found Eun-hee
and she was missing for 20 years.
Hey.
Wook found out something.
About that bastard,
his wife killed him.
He kept trying to escape from the island
and sank deep into the lake
a few days ago.
When he woke up, he was there.
You mean…
Did he go all the way to the end
and come back?
Anyway, let's send him away
for good this time.
If you find the address,
I'll follow her around.
I'll see if there's useful information.
That's a good idea.
Then what do I do?
You have a lot to do.
You're already looking after
the store and Alice.
You also have to make snacks for the kids.
We'll take care of him.
You just relax.
He's right. Detective Goh will watch him
and Mr. Jung will guard the kids.
You also have Il-yong and me.
Comrade Jeong is not the only one
who can help you.
We're all a big family here, remember?
He's right.
I'll take on more responsibility,
so please get some rest this time.
I didn't do anything that needed rest.
You tried to throw that flower pot earlier
because of him, right?
I knew it.
I could tell you were angry,
the way you were holding it.
Sorry about that.
My goodness…
Thank you so much, everyone.
There's no need.
Let's hurry, Wook.
Okay.
-See you later.
-Bye.
Choi Young-bae.
Born in 1963.
He was 45 years old, 15 years ago.
He was never reported missing
and he has no criminal record.
He has a wife named Cho Yu-seon,
and a daughter named Choi Eun-su
who turned 20 this year.
They've been living in the same
apartment for the past 18 years.
It's under Choi Young-bae's name.
So they'd been living there
before he died.
And they haven't moved.
I think so.
What could he have done
for his wife to kill him?
From what he did in the village,
he's a clear pervert.
Maybe that's why.
What does the wife do?
She's just ordinary.
She was never even fined.
Up until three months ago,
she was under employee health insurance.
But I think she quit her job now.
What's that?
What are you drinking?
I heard it's good for joints.
The pain comes with the job.
My knees have been acting up too.
Hey!
Fine, I'll make an exception for you.
Stay healthy and strong.
Yes, ma'am.
Where are you going?
To check out Choi Young-bae's home.
He can't go out that way.
Choi Young-bae was an infamous pervert.
Hey, Detective Goh.
Has Il-yong been here?
No.
Detective Goh, about Choi Young-bae…
How rude! I was still talking to him.
Why is he looking for Il-yong?
I don't know.
Ms. Cho Yu-seon?
Who are you?
I need to ask you some questions
about Choi Young-bae.
He…
left 15 years ago.
I know.
I also know what kind of a man he was
and where he went.
Who keeps blocking here?
Do you think she'll tell us
where Choi Young-bae's body is?
She said she'll think about it.
So we'll have to wait.
Thank you.
For what?
For taking care of the things
I couldn't do anything about
but just watch.
You're doing it too.
You're doing things
that other villagers can't.
So let's just leave it at that.
Give me that. I'll get more.
It's all right.
Goodness…
Captain Kang, there's big trouble.
What now? What happened?
Detective Goh came
and told me
that he saw Il-yong leave the village.
-So what happened?
-What do you think?
Oh, my…
Mr. Jang was here.
Yes, I was getting tea.
It's all right.
He knows everything.
He does?
Yes. I found out by chance.
So where is Detective Goh?
He went after Il-yong.
You should have pretended not to know!
You're back.
Detective Goh.
He came to the school and asked me,
so I denied it.
But he wouldn't believe me.
He said he'll catch him in the act,
so I came right away to get you.
If the others find out
that Il-yong can come and go,
we'll have trouble on our hands.
Wouldn't it be better now
to just explain to him?
No. They must not meet.
-Hurry up and go.
-Okay.
You two…
Where did you come from?
How did you leave here?
Sang-cheol…
What happened was that--
Look.
If you're going to
lie again like yesterday,
just shut up.
You may have fooled the others,
but you can't fool me.
Detective Goh, calm down for now.
Let Il-yong talk first, okay?
Don't come near me.
Put the gun down, Detective Goh.
Put it down.
Answer my question truthfully.
You two…
are not dead, are you?
Il-yong
is dead.
Like you, Detective Goh.
And…
-I--
-Wook.
Look over there.
I'm not dead.
Who made this law?
It's not fair.
And Captain Kang knew all this?
Just tell us.
-You have news of your family, don't you?
-My goodness!
But it seems that whether alive or dead,
there is no secret.
From the start, Lee Dong-min
has been after you, Detective Shin.
Just who are you tracking?
I think he could be testing me.
What are they planning?
What I want to know is who "he" is.
There's someone else.

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,
RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN
AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.
Do you think those are Ro-ha's remains?
Yes.
I'm sure.
That's definitely Ro-ha.
Still…
Let's wait for the test results.
How are you so sure? It's not like you.
Well…
This morning…
three mountain gods showed up
and told me about this.
Sir!
We found this under the remains.
It looks like a boy's shoe.
Sir!
We brought him.
Did you find Ro-ha?
Yes.
Do you perhaps
recognize this?
I got this for his eighth birthday.
He was growing so fast…
that I got him a pair
that was a size bigger.
He said his toes were swimming inside.
Where was he?
This is…
the trail Ro-ha often walked with his mom.
I think
he came here looking for his mom.
Ro-ha.
Ro-ha…
Ro-ha…
Ro-ha!
I'm…
sorry, Ro-ha…
CLOSED TODAY
You cried again?
Who cried?
There's a detective I know
that's a crybaby.
Do you feel nothing?
What do you mean?
Ro-ha disappeared
right in front of our eyes.
So did Ms. Yang
and Seung-jae.
They were people who were here
before you came.
This place is like that.
If your body is found
you disappear from here.
I still find it hard to believe
that I'm dead.
And now I could even disappear.
What happens next?
What else is there?
No idea. That's all I know.
What did you do for Ro-ha?
It was you, wasn't it?
Someone
must have found his body.
That's why he disappeared.
I meant about his race.
Oh, that?
Sang-yun had a mosquito bite on his leg
and Ji-woo hurt her toe when she fell.
Ha-yun and Yeong-rim couldn't run
as fast as usual because their legs hurt.
What?
Ro-ha and his friends
all did their best.
So the kids helped him out.
Isn't it beautiful?
Among all the races I've seen,
this one was the best.
By now…
Ro-ha probably met his mom, right?
He believed that if he won the race,
he could run to his mom.
I hope it came true.
This is a very strange place.
You realized that now?
At first,
I wanted to run away because I was afraid.
But now…
I find this place interesting.
Thank you.
Like you said,
it was a great race.
I could have taken the bus.
Goliath is still at large,
so it's too dangerous.
And that house isn't safe.
I was going to move anyway.
The ladies in our neighborhood
have big mouths,
so Bo-ra is very stressed out.
We plan to stay at a friend's place
until we find a new home.
Don't you think staying with Wook
would be safer for now?
He seems to think the same.
I suppose so.
I heard that you paid our rent.
I wanted to repay you,
so I carried this around with me.
Thank you.
You didn't have to pay me back so fast.
Yes, I did. I'll put it in here.
You know how to use
that smartwatch, right?
Of course.
I'm going to report
just about anything suspicious.
Go see Bo-ra.
I'll wait in front of the school.
What are you eating?
-Did you see it?
-Did you?
Bo-ra.
Mom!
You guys go ahead.
-Bye.
-See you.
-How have you been?
-Good.
Is it okay for you to be out?
Can we go home now?
No.
We're going to move.
I'm going to stay at Aunt Ji-yeong's
until we find a new place.
But I think you'll be better off
where you are for now.
Okay. I'd prefer that too.
Are they good to you?
Yes!
Dad acts tough but he's actually soft.
Jong-a is so cool.
And Mr. Jang has my back no matter what.
Enjoy your food.
Thank you.
Let me see your stamp.
Stay still.
BANANA MILK
-Thank you.
-I have two stamps.
-Enjoy.
-This stamp is fake!
-Come on!
-What do you mean?
One more.
-Thank you.
-All right, Captain Kang.
Two baskets!
-Applause!
-Give me that.
Where did you get all this?
From a fountain that never runs dry.
This is a miracle.
This village is a miracle in itself.
It all makes sense when you believe that.
-All right.
-Give me one more.
Oh, come on.
Detective Goh, take one.
Yes, at least take
the participation prize.
It's weirder if you don't take it.
Show me the stamp.
I don't have one.
You don't?
If you don't, here!
Get the stamp.
Give me this hand too.
This is Ro-ha's.
It's a plaque of appreciation.
Thanks to you,
Ro-ha came in first in the race.
I didn't do anything.
Thank you.
See?
Isn't it nice to get a prize?
Yes.
See you later.
Next!
Hey! Lee Yeong-rim!
I told you not to drink those!
But it's good.
You idiot.
You shouldn't drink banana milk!
That's bad.
Yeong-rim, Ha-yun.
Come on, we had so much fun back there.
What's going on?
Look.
This idiot was drinking banana milk.
Why can't he drink it?
Is he allergic?
Because of that, we can't go home
or see our parents.
I'm sorry. I won't drink it.
Ha-yun.
My goodness.
What's with them?
Did he drink this?
Yes. I gave it to him.
Yeong-rim drank that
and Ha-yun told him not to.
She said he's here because of this.
I should have told you about this,
but I forgot to.
You shouldn't give them banana milk.
Why not?
Let me put Alice to bed first.
Then I'll tell you the story.
She must've been so tired. She's out cold.
Where was I?
That's right.
This wicked woman
gave banana milk
to the kids in the playground.
And they fell asleep after drinking that.
When Ha-yun woke up,
she found Yeong-rim sleeping next to her
and that woman watching TV.
She berated Ha-yun for waking up
and gave her that milk again.
She cried and refused to drink it.
When she came to her senses,
she found herself here.
It's all so vivid
as if it happened yesterday.
Where are we?
I don't know.
There's no need to be afraid.
Are you two siblings?
No.
He's an idiot.
He can't even read yet.
So don't hurt my friend.
Are you protecting him?
He's my friend.
I want to go home.
We live in Yeonggi-dong.
But where are we?
Could you…
please take me to my mom?
Please?
How could she do that
to those nice little kids?
And they don't know who she is?
No.
They'd never seen her before.
It's already been 15 years.
If Yeong-rim and Ha-yun were alive,
they'd be cool college students by now.
Does Mr. Jang know about this?
Yes.
So that's what happened
to Ha-yun and Yeong-rim.
So how are we going to find the one
who gave them banana milk?
He asks me
about the villagers all the time.
Like when did they get here
and what happened when they were alive.
And he writes down everything I tell him.
That's what he does best.
That's how he found Ro-ha.
Oh, please.
I know that he did his best
and that you did your best
to look for Ro-ha.
I heard it from Il-yong.
So I know.
I'm so grateful for all that you did,
that I didn't know how to say thank you.
You're doing so much for us
but there's nothing we do for you.
Please, don't say that.
You've fed us so many times.
I'm thankful that you think that way.
Speaking of food,
why do you always cook for us?
A long time ago,
someone who had been here
for a while told me
that people don't become useless
when they're dead.
But that they die
when they become useless.
So the reason why you cook for us so much
is because…
What are you guys talking about
that you don't even notice me?
You're here.
We were talking
about Yeong-rim and Ha-yun.
I see.
I'm so tired from cleaning up.
Il-yong and Detective Goh are still at it.
Hey, Wook.
Go get me a glass of water.
-Okay.
-I'll get it.
I know my kitchen the best.
I think Captain Kang
cooks for the villagers
because she wants to remain
useful even after dying.
Did she tell you that?
Not in those words exactly.
But I think I'm right.
What are you talking about?
Jong-a, and this?
That's Mr. Jang's.
Do you do all the laundry?
No, we each take care
of our own underwear,
and I only do the laundry
in the laundry room.
I do the laundry,
Mr. Jang does the cooking,
and Wook does the cleaning.
We take turns walking the dogs.
And now we have you.
Mr. Jang's been so happy since you came.
Well, I'm a good cook.
Goodness.
I'll take these upstairs.
Okay, then I'll take the first floor.
Thank you!
What is this?
FROM: PO BOX 90 7107, SEONGJU POST OFFICE
SEONGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
What are these?
Are they all from the same person?
We're home.
I'm so hungry.
You too?
Even if I eat something in the village,
I feel famished when I get home.
It's strange.
-I know.
-The food must disappear.
We'll just have to eat again here.
You're home.
Hey, Jong-a. They found Ro-ha.
Really? That's great.
It's all thanks to you.
You told Detective Baek the exact spot.
How could you be so bold?
I couldn't have done it if it were me.
I guess you have to be bold to succeed.
Welcome home.
Hey, Bo-ra.
What's with your outfits?
Did you really go around
dressed like that?
We had a field day.
What's wrong with our clothes?
This is nice, isn't it?
Don't I look cool?
I'm white and he's blue.
We look cool.
Where did I put the key?
My goodness…
I've been so forgetful lately.
Day 10,896.
Today is field day.
THE 1ST…
Ten years ago,
when Professor Jung came to the village,
he wanted to open a school
and have field days.
"Exercise for the dead?"
"He's such an overeager
and boisterous guy."
That's what I thought.
-Come on.
-It needs to be wider.
THE 3RD COMPLEX 3 FIELD DAY
You're so bad at this.
Go, Hyeon-ji!
-Go, Hyeon-ji!
-Let's go!
Hyeon-ji!
THE 5TH MUJIGAE FIELD DAY
THE 6TH MUJIGAE FIELD DAY
-Did you tie it up?
-Yes. And you?
All done.
Slowly.
THE 8TH MUJIGAE BRANCH SCHOOL
EXCITING FIELD DAY
Be careful.
Where are you going?
-We went too far.
-Okay.
-Hey, don't push.
-All right.
-Come on!
-Just a bit.
It's the tenth event already.
TEAM BLUE, TEAM WHITE
It is now the biggest festival
of the year in the village.
Had they been alive,
they would have attended high school
and gone to college by now.
Watching them
makes me happy and sad.
It makes me smile,
but it's also heartbreaking.
Those beautiful flowers…
They were cut down
before they could even bloom.
People say heaven
can't exist without kids.
But these kids shouldn't have been here
even if that may make this place hell.
They should have never come here.
And…
our Ro-ha…
The lonely boy
who came here eight years ago,
left today as everyone clapped for him.
He used to eat two bowls of rice
saying he wants to grow strong.
And he ended up winning first place.
I'm so happy that he left like that.
And I'm also grateful to the people
who found him.
I'm just so grateful.
Ro-ha.
Next time,
be born in a world where there are
only good adults.
Would this send Ro-ha to a better place?
Want to do it?
LEE RO-HA, 9 YEARS OLD
BORN ON OCTOBER 3, 2006…
No.
Just light it up.
You must've been so lonely and scared.
You rascal.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Goodbye, Ro-ha.
Burn all the bad memories.
Let's pray that he forgets them all
and is set free.
I'm heading in.
FROM: PO BOX 90 7107, SEONGJU POST OFFICE
SEONGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
Did you upset him again?
I didn't.
It's clear that you did.
Yes?
Why aren't you asleep yet?
What are you doing tomorrow?
It's Saturday.
Tomorrow? Why?
Now that Mom is out…
Can we go see Mom tomorrow?
We could eat something delicious.
Never mind if you're busy.
I'll just ask Detective Shin
to give me a ride.
You always go for him.
I can go.
Let's go eat something good then.
I'm going.
Look at the time.
Go to bed now.
Yes!
The doll!
Choi Young-bae.
When Alice disappeared this afternoon,
we searched around the lake
and found a boat.
She was inside the boat.
Who did you play with on the boat?
I played with the fish.
Then, that time…
How did he get out?
He said he could never come out.
Hurry up, Dad!
Bo-ra.
Here.
A dash of color looks good.
It's so pretty.
Let's go.
Hey, wait!
Well…
Who's this?
Who are you?
It's me, Bo-ra.
-Are you two going on a date?
-No.
My mom's also coming.
A date?
Aren't you just going out to eat?
Wait.
Why are you so dressed up?
Aren't those the clothes I got for you?
We're just going out to eat.
It's the same thing.
Whatever it is.
Have fun. Go now.
-Let's go.
-We'll see you later.
-Okay.
-Bye.
Come home early!
Go on.
You don't like it?
Wook eating with another woman?
Don't be so temperamental.
Not only that…
Lee Dong-min…
He sent letters to Wook from prison.
He sent one every month
for ten months now.
What did he say?
All kinds of nonsense.
There was nothing special,
but I have a bad feeling.
Why did he send those letters?
And why didn't Wook tell us about them?
Probably because
he didn't want us to worry.
You know he never talks about himself.
What if he's planning something
inside the prison?
That's what I'm worried about too.
Don't be.
You're a lot prettier.
What?
You're prettier.
Are you two each other's first love?
Why do you want to know that?
She was for me.
I wasn't for you?
I just…
You were too.
It's my first time
seeing you look embarrassed.
Oh, right.
Did you know
that your nickname is Mr. Perfect?
Bo-ra.
Why am I Mr. Perfect?
Because you're so handsome.
Mr. Perfect.
So I made it clear to my friends.
That I'm pretty because I take after you.
What are you talking about?
You take after me.
You're my daughter.
I don't.
Look. Our double eyelids,
high nose, and small face.
What's with you two?
Bo-ra said that to me when we first met.
I don't know where she got it from.
I told you, I got it from you.
Mom, when Dad and I first met,
he kept denying that he was my dad.
He's the one in the picture
but said he wasn't my dad.
He's not.
-What?
-Don't speak with your mouth full.
Let's eat, then go for dessert.
Okay.
Where's Bo-ra?
The restroom.
She's so excited right now.
She ate more than she usually does.
Why did you do that earlier?
The first love thing?
It wasn't a lie.
But you dumped me though.
Not that.
Letting Bo-ra call you Dad.
And her saying that she takes after you.
Now that I think about it,
she does take after me.
Stop joking your way out.
You haven't changed a bit.
I told her that I wasn't her dad.
She just doesn't believe me.
There must be a reason
why she believes that.
She just misunderstood.
I'll talk to her.
I didn't have the chance to tell her
at the hospital with the cops and all.
Do it later.
She's going through
a tough time right now.
I'll find a house
and take her as soon as I can.
Thank you for taking
such good care of her.
I know you're doing this for Bo-ra,
but if this goes on any longer,
it could hurt her more.
And me too.
Bo-ra, are you okay?
I thought you were eating too much.
I'm not sick.
Let's go have dessert now.
Wait.
Captain!
Captain.
Captain!
Scanning.
Scanning.
Scanning.
Were you looking for me, Captain Kang?
Hey, Hye-ju.
Could you stay here
with Alice for a while?
I'll be right back.
Sure.
Detective Goh, are you home?
Detective Goh!
Yes?
So you were home. Let's talk inside.
What's wrong?
Well…
When we had the field day,
someone broke into my home.
Broke in?
Was anything taken?
A doll that was in my room.
A doll?
Then do you think…
a kid did it?
It's not a kid.
I know who stole it.
Please catch him for me.
You're a police officer,
so you can handle this, right?
I saw that you had a gun too.
So who did it?
Before I tell you…
I'd like you to
keep quiet about this.
I don't want the villagers to know
and worry about it.
The kids will be scared too.
I'll be careful.
So who did it?
Choi Young-bae.
He's a bad man
who does nasty things to kids.
He's a lot taller than you
and has a thin face.
His eyes are bleary
like those of rotten fish.
He never looks people in the eyes.
If you see anyone that you don't know
who wasn't at the field day,
just catch them.
If he's a child molester,
then he could be hiding near the school
or other places that kids go often.
Which is why you need
to catch him quickly.
Okay.
Il-yong!
Where is he going?
FALLING DEBRIS
DO NOT ENTER
Are you sure this is the right place?
The movie theater is that way.
I'll go with Hye-yeong after her academy.
All right.
Then have fun at the movies.
Don't come home too late.
Why are you smiling?
Because I'm happy.
I had a meal with my mom and dad.
Our first family outing together.
Then enjoy your movie
and I'll see you at home.
Okay.
-See you.
-Have fun.
Excuse me.
There's no way Pil-jung
would come to this place.
What are you doing here?
You startled me.
What are you doing here, Mr. Jung?
I was weeding.
And you?
I was patrolling the area.
To make sure that the school zone is safe.
By the way…
Have you seen anyone
suspicious around here?
Anyone suspicious?
Right now,
you're the most suspicious one here.
Me?
Did Captain Kang put you up to this?
Or is it because you
became fond of the kids?
Like Ro-ha?
Something like that.
Or not exactly.
Continue with your patrolling.
While you're at it,
make sure the kids get home safe.
I'll leave this in your capable hands.
-Sorry?
-I also patrol the area around this time.
You never know what can happen to kids.
This is my weapon.
Good luck.
I'll see you later.
You want to ask Ha-yun about it?
Yes.
I think she remembers
what happened quite clearly.
She may not know who the woman is
but if we ask her what she saw,
we might find a clue.
I considered that too,
but I didn't want to scare her.
Why don't we create
a comfortable environment first,
then ask her in a roundabout way?
You're close to Ha-yun.
Okay.
Well…
anything else?
Like what?
How did the date with Bo-ra's mom go?
Did anyone try to bother you?
It wasn't a date.
We just had a meal together.
Dressed up like this?
What do you mean?
I'm always dressed like this.
Sure.
Goodness.
My goodness.
You're napping too long.
You won't get much sleep tonight.
It's me, Wook!
What were you doing in there?
I was thirsty and just wanted a drink.
And there was no one here.
I thought it was a burglar.
Why were you so surprised?
I thought you were a burglar.
Are you here alone?
Where's Mr. Jang?
We came together
but he went to see Mr. Jung.
To get Ha-yun and Yeong-rim's
school records.
Well…
were you on a date?
Come on! Why does everyone
say it was a date?
It was just a meal.
So it was a date.
I'll get you a drink.
Barley tea, please.
Ha-yun and Yeong-rim.
Here are their school records
for ten years.
Eun-hee did a good job of keeping records.
Thank you.
Sorry for making you stay late.
No one's home waiting for me anyway.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Don't you want to see your family?
You never talk about them.
I think I heard more about Hyeon-ji
than I did about you.
Hyeon-ji was a star around here.
You remind me of her whenever I see you.
I miss her a lot.
She must be so happy to know
that everyone loves her.
Isn't it surprising?
That even the dead can make memories
and miss each other.
Yes.
Aren't you tired of this place?
You've been here for so long.
Want to know something funny?
Here…
The death rate
is zero.
Because you can't die again.
Right.
I'm going this way.
You missed your street.
Goodbye.
Get home safe.
Look at this.
It's way bigger than mine.
This is definitely a man's footprint.
Who's there?
I know you're there. Come out.
My goodness!
What are you doing here?
I was just…
Never mind.
Anyway…
There's nothing over there.
Why are you coming from there?
I was just
taking a walk,
organizing my thoughts and stuff…
Wait.
Are those handcuffs?
Did something happen in the village?
What's taking him so long?
Is he writing out the records himself?
Ms. Ahn.
Ha-yun disappeared.
What?
She went to Yeong-rim's place a while ago
and when I went to get her after sundown,
she wasn't there.
When did she leave?
Are Ha-yun's belongings still there?
Yes, they're all there.
She left before sunset, so around 5 p.m.
What's this about? Who disappeared?
Ha-yun.
We have to search quickly.
It's Choi Young-bae's doing!
Who?
Choi Young-bae!
Ha-yun.
You must have been so scared.
I went to get water
because you said you were thirsty.
But I couldn't get it.
But I brought a doll for you.
I'm sure he went this way.
Where did he go?
Il-yong and I'll go to the lake.
Detective Goh, you gather the villagers
and check every corner.
-Okay.
-I'll go let Mr. Jung know.
Okay. Let's go.
No, you should stay with Alice.
No, take me with you.
Hye-ju, take Alice and stay with Mr. Jung.
There's no time for this.
Let's go.
Ha-yun.
You bastard!
You punk!
After Alice disappeared before,
I was too focused on her
that I didn't pay attention to Ha-yun.
I should have kept her with me.
It wasn't your fault.
You bastard!
Did you hear that?
What's your deal?
You bastard!
You punk!
You piece of trash!
Don't get in my way!
Are you okay?
Who the hell are you?
Ha-yun!
My goodness, sweetie!
What's all this?
You're safe now.
Are you hurt?
Sweetie, were you scared?
Sang-cheol, hurry!
How did you know to come here?
I followed that footprint we saw.
The footprint?
Why did you come here alone?
You could have been in danger.
My goodness…
Are you hurt anywhere?
I'm fine. I'm just worried about her.
You bastard! You deserve to die!
That piece of trash.
Sweetie…
You should take her away.
Okay.
Can you stand up?
There we go.
What should we do with him?
We have to get rid of him!
I'll take care of this.
Okay, you do that then.
You have your gun, right?
Weigh him down with rocks
and throw him in the lake.
Or dig a hole and bury him.
So that he can never get back out.
I should have done that 15 years ago.
You're not really going to do that,
are you?
There's no reason why I shouldn't!
Even death is too good
for the likes of you!
You're right.
Did you hear that?
No.
Come on. Hurry up.
Hold him tight.
Let go of me.
Stay still.
-Tie him up.
-Let go.
Let me go!
I said, let go!
Shut up!
In here
there's no need for Miranda rights.
There's no need to even consider
human rights for scum like you.
Why not?
I came here
because I was wrongfully killed too.
What did you say?
You damn…
A piece of trash like you
and people here are different.
What's so different?
You really have to ask?
I don't want to talk long
with scum like you,
so just answer my questions.
Who killed you?
What?
He came here 15 years ago?
Yes.
Where has he been all these years?
I never saw him once.
He kept doing nasty things
to Ha-yun back then.
So Comrade Jeong and I
took him to the island and left him there.
Don't even think about coming back.
You brought this on yourself
so don't blame anybody else.
If you're lucky,
you might get to disappear someday.
You can't leave me in a place like this!
How dare you say that, you piece of trash!
How could you do that?
No need to answer him.
Let's go.
He can't possibly
swim out of there, can he?
He doesn't know how to swim, remember?
And over this long distance?
You're right.
The water is also deep.
He won't get out of there alive,
so don't worry.
What if he does, dead?
You can't die here as you wish.
I doubt it will happen,
but if he does return to the village,
I'll find another way to exile him.
So just trust me.
Okay.
Comrade Jeong.
You have to row the other way.
We have to go in that direction.
So that's why the boat was on land.
Still, look what happened.
He came back and did more bad things.
I'm so sick of this place.
No matter how hard we try,
it all ends up being useless.
You can't run away.
And you can't even die.
How can he be put here with innocent kids?
Aren't we all just…
some mice in a trap?
Captain Kang.
It must have been hard
handling this on your own.
It wasn't me.
Ha-yun went through a lot.
I should go and find Choi Young-bae first.
That way the kids will be safe.
But he died 15 years ago.
Finding him won't be easy.
We found Eun-hee
and she was missing for 20 years.
Hey.
Wook found out something.
About that bastard,
his wife killed him.
He kept trying to escape from the island
and sank deep into the lake
a few days ago.
When he woke up, he was there.
You mean…
Did he go all the way to the end
and come back?
Anyway, let's send him away
for good this time.
If you find the address,
I'll follow her around.
I'll see if there's useful information.
That's a good idea.
Then what do I do?
You have a lot to do.
You're already looking after
the store and Alice.
You also have to make snacks for the kids.
We'll take care of him.
You just relax.
He's right. Detective Goh will watch him
and Mr. Jung will guard the kids.
You also have Il-yong and me.
Comrade Jeong is not the only one
who can help you.
We're all a big family here, remember?
He's right.
I'll take on more responsibility,
so please get some rest this time.
I didn't do anything that needed rest.
You tried to throw that flower pot earlier
because of him, right?
I knew it.
I could tell you were angry,
the way you were holding it.
Sorry about that.
My goodness…
Thank you so much, everyone.
There's no need.
Let's hurry, Wook.
Okay.
-See you later.
-Bye.
Choi Young-bae.
Born in 1963.
He was 45 years old, 15 years ago.
He was never reported missing
and he has no criminal record.
He has a wife named Cho Yu-seon,
and a daughter named Choi Eun-su
who turned 20 this year.
They've been living in the same
apartment for the past 18 years.
It's under Choi Young-bae's name.
So they'd been living there
before he died.
And they haven't moved.
I think so.
What could he have done
for his wife to kill him?
From what he did in the village,
he's a clear pervert.
Maybe that's why.
What does the wife do?
She's just ordinary.
She was never even fined.
Up until three months ago,
she was under employee health insurance.
But I think she quit her job now.
What's that?
What are you drinking?
I heard it's good for joints.
The pain comes with the job.
My knees have been acting up too.
Hey!
Fine, I'll make an exception for you.
Stay healthy and strong.
Yes, ma'am.
Where are you going?
To check out Choi Young-bae's home.
He can't go out that way.
Choi Young-bae was an infamous pervert.
Hey, Detective Goh.
Has Il-yong been here?
No.
Detective Goh, about Choi Young-bae…
How rude! I was still talking to him.
Why is he looking for Il-yong?
I don't know.
Ms. Cho Yu-seon?
Who are you?
I need to ask you some questions
about Choi Young-bae.
He…
left 15 years ago.
I know.
I also know what kind of a man he was
and where he went.
Who keeps blocking here?
Do you think she'll tell us
where Choi Young-bae's body is?
She said she'll think about it.
So we'll have to wait.
Thank you.
For what?
For taking care of the things
I couldn't do anything about
but just watch.
You're doing it too.
You're doing things
that other villagers can't.
So let's just leave it at that.
Give me that. I'll get more.
It's all right.
Goodness…
Captain Kang, there's big trouble.
What now? What happened?
Detective Goh came
and told me
that he saw Il-yong leave the village.
-So what happened?
-What do you think?
Oh, my…
Mr. Jang was here.
Yes, I was getting tea.
It's all right.
He knows everything.
He does?
Yes. I found out by chance.
So where is Detective Goh?
He went after Il-yong.
You should have pretended not to know!
You're back.
Detective Goh.
He came to the school and asked me,
so I denied it.
But he wouldn't believe me.
He said he'll catch him in the act,
so I came right away to get you.
If the others find out
that Il-yong can come and go,
we'll have trouble on our hands.
Wouldn't it be better now
to just explain to him?
No. They must not meet.
-Hurry up and go.
-Okay.
You two…
Where did you come from?
How did you leave here?
Sang-cheol…
What happened was that--
Look.
If you're going to
lie again like yesterday,
just shut up.
You may have fooled the others,
but you can't fool me.
Detective Goh, calm down for now.
Let Il-yong talk first, okay?
Don't come near me.
Put the gun down, Detective Goh.
Put it down.
Answer my question truthfully.
You two…
are not dead, are you?
Il-yong
is dead.
Like you, Detective Goh.
And…
-I--
-Wook.
Look over there.
I'm not dead.
Who made this law?
It's not fair.
And Captain Kang knew all this?
Just tell us.
-You have news of your family, don't you?
-My goodness!
But it seems that whether alive or dead,
there is no secret.
From the start, Lee Dong-min
has been after you, Detective Shin.
Just who are you tracking?
I think he could be testing me.
What are they planning?
What I want to know is who "he" is.
There's someone else.
