(the mental state of the child actor in this episode.)
(We promise to follow up with counseling and needed treatments.)
Someone who died five years ago...
came back alive and is murdering people?
Track Ha Young.
It's too weird to be just a coincidence.
Watch that newbie too.
There's someone behind Ha Young.
Find out who that is.
Be careful. The Guy saw you.
You know the female constable that I talked about before?
I think she's something.
Ji Min, it's me.
Among the correspondents at the station,
there's a guy named Lee Bo Kwang. Do a background check on him.
If he didn't take any property, he must've taken some information.
(Previously)
Team Leader Hwang, it's me. Detective Oh is the next target.
We meet at last.
Oh Hyun Jae.
There's more and more I'd like to ask you.
That doesn't matter.
You will end up dying in here anyway.
Hey.
It was such a boring wait.
Was this all a plan? To catch The Guy?
I had to know who wanted...
I Su dead.
The person who told me to kill her was...
How much do you know about me?
As much as I need to know.
You used me to...
bring out The Guy.
You needed me in order to join the RIU.
Thank you for everything.
If anything happens,
call me, okay?
I'm the police.
Why are you hiding over there?
Are you all right?
Were you even looking?
- Why are you here? - I want to make an offer.
I will decline it.
A kid in the upper part of the town didn't come home last night.
Goodness, it's an emergency.
Hyun Soo.
(Episode 7: Reflection, The phenomenon when...)
(light or waves bump against an object's surface and go back)
(27 hours after the abduction)
I think this is the kid's shoe. I see bloodstains too.
So this scumbag really...
What about the search and rescue team?
- We're waiting for them. - Tell them to hurry up.
Excuse me. Did you find a note here?
A note? No, I didn't see any notes.
- Can I take a look? - What?
What's she doing?
Hey, stop. Stop it.
- Hello. - What is this?
Why are you here?
Sir, I know the boy who went missing.
Don't be a nuisance. Go over there.
- Is that you, Hyun Soo? - Hello.
Your phone is eligible...
Search thoroughly.
- Don't just glance here and there! - Hey. What are you doing here?
- Dong Sik. - Yes?
The missing kid. I know him.
- He's... - What?
I met him a few days ago...
and gave him my number on a piece of paper.
The sun's setting. Let's hurry up.
Will you check up the hill?
Go up there and check! My gosh.
Let's talk a bit later.
I don't think he's alive.
Let's switch over.
To searching for a body?
You bet.
How could a kid survive this cold up a mountain?
The suspect left his car and fled.
Just a moment, sir.
The boy could still be alive.
Hey. We found a bloodstained shoe in the car.
That's why we must keep searching.
The kid could be wandering around injured.
Let's be frank here. We should find the body at least.
Can you prove he's alive?
Two days ago, I wrote him my number on a piece of paper.
That's the only thing missing.
That means there's still hope.
Are you out of your mind? We're busy as it is.
Hey. He cut off his electronic anklet to run off.
That means he went all the way.
He might call me!
Hey!
Will someone get her out of here? My gosh.
Let's go. I'll take her away.
Breaking news. The vehicle of the suspect...
was found in an empty lot in the middle of Mount Daeheung.
Police designated it an emergency...
and will open a criminal investigation.
Mr. No, the likely kidnapper...
is a child sex offender...
and is on the run after discarding his electronic anklet.
Send them higher up the mountain.
- Let go. - What are you doing right now?
You know what he's like.
He's so nasty.
He'll only yell at you if you stay here.
Go on home.
Okay. See you.
Take care.
Will you go higher up the mountain?
It's me.
I'm listening.
I'll accept your offer.
But I have a favor to ask.
Name, Gil Hyun Soo. 12 years old.
It's been about 27 hours since the abduction.
Please help me find him.
Detective Oh?
Do you know the kid?
Yes.
After eight hours of a child's abduction,
the survival rate is almost zero.
Even if he's lucky and is locked up somewhere,
the deadline is 36 hours.
And if he's outdoors in this kind of weather,
it's unlikely he'll last even 30 hours.
I'm aware of that.
The child was abducted from his school?
Meet me there.
(Tell Me What You Saw)
(Mucheon Metropolitan Police)
What do you mean you're taking an abduction case?
It's a case the nation's fixated on.
Don't you know you'll be lucky to just find the kid?
He's been missing for two days.
You'll be criticized even if you find his body.
It'll be worse if you find nothing.
I assigned the case to Ha Young.
You'll minimize the outcry about the Lee Bo Kwang case with this one,
and create an excuse to fire her?
What about Oh Hyun Jae?
If he gets involved, even better.
Hyun Jae, it's me.
The Hongwoon-myeon abduction.
I got an order to solve it quickly.
I'd like your advice as a civilian consultant.
It's an official request.
What Hyun Jae?
Was she talking to Oh Hyun Jae the profiler?
- Oh Hyun Jae? - Yes.
Let's go to the scene. Ji Min, back us up from here.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Sarae Elementary School)
Which direction is the kid's home?
Based on the address,
it's in that direction.
If he knows No Sang Chul's face,
the child would've thought his usual route is compromised.
So he'd go the other way.
That way.
Yes, Ji Min.
Okay. Send us whatever files you get.
Okay.
It's obvious they gave us the case to mess with us.
Detectives shouldn't be picky.
Call Hongwoon's police and ask them to transfer the case.
Got it.
Isn't Hongwoon-myeon where Cha Su Young lives?
Shall I ask her to join us?
Hey. Would you want to work during your holiday?
Are you crazy?
She's already in.
If he went that way, villagers would've seen him.
It's this way.
Search this area.
Detective Oh.
This spinning top. It's Hyun Soo's.
He was here.
The kidnapper is someone he knows.
He knew which way the kid would go.
No Sang Chul dragged the kid who was hiding down here.
Let's go to his place first.
His place?
Let's hurry.
Abductions are a race against time.
(Hwayoung Police Station)
Lieutenant Kim?
Ms. Hwang, the person I spoke to?
Yes.
Here you go.
Is everyone at the scene?
They're searching Mount Daeheung.
I heard you have a suspect.
We got a call...
saying No Sang Chul chased him from his school.
We found out that...
the child had been to his place.
No Sang Chul, 36 years old.
He's a child sex offender and he did time.
Was he investigated for anything else?
He was questioned when another child disappeared three years ago.
He was ruled out as a suspect because he had an alibi.
The RIU will take over from here.
I understand.
Take care.
Team Leader Hwang, shall we interview the suspect's neighbors?
Does he have a family?
Both parents are deceased and he has no siblings.
Who did he meet after leaving prison?
The neighbors didn't say much.
Do they have...
any contacts of his previous victim's family?
Min Joo Hyuk's parents' numbers.
Contact his parents.
Got it.
(Police)
I'm from the RIU.
We got the call. Come in.
Let them in.
(Off Limits, Investigation in Progress)
He's not interested in adult women.
He prefers kids. It's pedophilia.
(Pedophilia: An adult having unnatural sexual interests in kids)
Look. The wrapping is pristine.
He's not interested in games.
It's just a bait to lure kids with.
He'd have been kind on the outside.
He'd be careful and very cautious.
(Mosrotin)
Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine.
It's for arthritis.
I doubt he went up the mountain.
He has degenerative arthritis.
This. It looks like a camera.
Play it.
Hey.
The kid realized what No Sang Chul is.
He would've wanted to see the kid to explain himself.
- You're mistaken. Hyun Soo. - It went wrong and he's angry.
Hyun Soo.
I should've noticed at the bus terminal.
Is that guilt?
What?
Guilt that you could've saved the boy?
Are you always this empathetic?
Or...
is it because the boy can't speak, just like your parents?
Do you always speak so impolitely?
Or...
is it because you can't empathize with others?
Let's hurry.
If the boy's confined,
we must find him within 36 hours.
(29 hours after the abduction)
What brings you here?
I'm team leader Hwang Ha Young from Mucheon's RIU.
I'm here regarding Gil Hyun Soo's abduction.
Detective. I don't want to remember that anymore.
I heard that...
No Sang Chul took your son to a reservoir and museum.
Did he take him anywhere else?
Detective.
That pervert is a lunatic.
My kid doesn't remember anything.
He beat my son an inch close to his death.
When Joo Hyuk was found, we thought he was dead.
The jerk only served two years. Does that make sense?
That's why this happened again.
This time,
if you catch him again,
make sure he rots behind bars forever.
Thank you for cooperating.
Well...
I saw the news.
Please find that kid.
Thinking that he's my son...
makes it more upsetting.
Where do you think he is?
Joo Hyuk was found at a reservoir nearby.
Let's check it out.
(Off Limits, Investigation in Progress)
Will you go where No Sang Chul's car was found?
No. You were there already.
Tell me what you saw.
Inside the car. Was it messy or clean?
The car was old, but it was clean inside.
A bit unlike his house.
The house was a mess but the car was clean?
Pedophiles...
obsessively try to hide their identity and tastes.
They want people to see an upright side.
Move to the trunk.
In the trunk, I only saw Hyun Soo's bag.
This is where he was confined.
Anything else?
The taillight was smashed.
The trunk's slightly bashed.
I think there was an accident.
It looks recent.
A fender-bender.
So why did he abandon the car?
He must've known it would be found soon.
There's something nearby that can be evidence.
If you want to find the kid, you must remember everything.
Everything. Even minor details.
It's just old trash.
Something that doesn't fit the landscape. That's our evidence.
This might be nothing.
Talk to me.
There's a feather.
What kind of feather?
It looks like goose down.
Goose down?
Let's go and eat!
Hold on.
Let me clean myself up before we go.
There was someone else other than Sang Chul.
Someone else?
There's a blanket factory behind the hills. Let's go there.
Yes, sir.
Hyun Soo is going to be alive, right?
We keep our hopes up for kidnapping cases,
but there's often no-win either way...
since kidnapping brings so much trauma to the child.
Even if it's just our best wishes,
we have to stay hopeful that he's still alive.
Yes.
Do you think we'll get a call?
We'll have to wait and see.
Yes? Dad is working.
You want another toy? You already have so many.
Son,
I'll call you later.
The missing child,
he's the same age as my son.
He's going to be found alive, right?
(Text Message from Oh Hyun Jae)
Come to Sohong-ro 29-gil.
- This way. - Yes.
By any chance,
have you seen this child before?
No, I haven't.
Have you seen this child before?
Please take another look at him. He's this tall.
Who are you?
You must've gone hiking.
Your shoes are all dusty.
And this watch,
it's not yours, is it?
I got it as a present.
My goodness!
- What's happening? - He's running away!
Hey!
This way.
I'll check upstairs.
Yes, sir.
- Put that down. - Don't you dare come closer.
- Get him! - Put that down!
Stay still.
- Don't move. Stay still. - It's not me!
- Stand him up. - Yes, ma'am.
Stand up.
It's not me!
You know Hyun Soo, right?
- What did you do with him? - I don't know.
He was already dead.
I don't know anything.
He was already dead.
I mean it. All I did was to bury him.
What do you mean?
There's something under.
Team Leader Hwang.
- I found him. - Let me see.
We found Sang Chul's body.
We're at Sohong-ro 29-gil.
The child hasn't been found yet.
He's probably somewhere...
where he can't make a call from.
(Contacts)
(35 hours after the abduction)
I don't know anything. Nothing at all.
Park Jung Woo.
Where's the child?
I don't know.
You killed Sang Chul. What did you do with the child?
I can't remember.
You want me to make you remember? Where's Hyun Soo?
Hey!
He keeps lying!
I'll take over.
Jung Woo,
I think I know how you feel.
Sang Chul was...
a bad man, wasn't he?
I hear that...
Hyun Soo is a very smart boy.
His grandmother is desperately waiting for him to come back.
I know you're a good man.
Just tell me where Hyun Soo is.
My lawyer is on the way.
(49 hours after the abduction)
There's a trace of an accident on Sang Chul's car,
but Jung Woo's car isn't damaged at all.
There must be someone else.
Someone else?
Someone else that crashed into Sang Chul's car.
When I checked repair shops nearby and with insurance records,
there were no collisions reported on the day of.
(Volunteers for Marina's House)
What about Jung Woo?
He keeps saying that he doesn't know anything.
He's refusing to talk until his lawyer arrives.
A lawyer? That's weird.
He's nothing but a dayworker who was even in juvie.
And he has a lawyer?
Look into his history and everything else about him.
And look into where the lawyer's office is located too.
Yes, sir.
Yes?
All right, I'll be there soon.
Yu Bin,
I'm sorry.
Mom is busy, so I have to go out soon.
Don't play too many games...
and stay at home, all right?
Mom will come back soon.
(My name isn't Yu Bin, it's Hyun Soo.)
That's too bad.
I don't like...
that nickname of yours.
Yu Bin is a great name,
don't you think?
(I'm sorry. Please let me go home.)
You did nothing wrong.
Just so you know,
the phone is broken, so don't try calling with it.
And I'm going to lock the front door from outside,
so don't you try escaping either.
You play outside too much.
If you get into an accident like you did before...
Never mind.
I'm sorry.
I won't talk about it again.
Stay still until I come home.
All right?
Yes.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Are we taking a new approach in the investigation?
They want us to classify this case as an investigation of the dead.
We're going to have to look around in the nearby hills and reservoirs.
That lunatic must've killed Sang Chul...
and did something with the kid.
Do you remember the Mangu-dong case?
Of course. The entire RIU was all over the case.
We had the evidence and were sure that he was guilty,
but he turned out to be innocent.
Are you saying that...
this is like the Mangu-dong case and he's not guilty?
Jung Woo isn't the kidnapper.
No way.
I think he's a borderline intelligence man.
He's a little boy trapped inside a man's body.
Then...
(Borderline intelligence: A person with a mild intellectual disability)
are you saying that there's someone else?
I think he's being manipulated.
Hello, I'm Lawyer Cha Mi Rye.
I'm here regarding Jung Woo.
(Hwayoung Police Station)
- She's coming out. - Did he confess?
- Have you found the child? - We're still looking.
We heard that the kidnapper was found dead...
and that you're now assuming that the child is dead.
It's been three days, doesn't that mean that the boy is basically dead?
Where did the suspect say that he abandoned the body?
The child is alive.
How are you so sure? Aren't you just giving false hope?
We believe that he's alive because we're the police.
- Please answer us! - We have a question!
This is all over the TV and the internet.
Ha Young seems to believe that the kid is still alive,
what do you think?
We've missed the critical hour,
so I think the best we can do is to find the child's body.
I directed the investigators to look in nearby hills and reservoirs.
The ground is frozen, so he can't be buried deep.
The worst-case scenario would be that he's found when spring comes.
Have you looked into...
who directed us to let Hyun Jae off the hook?
I'm still looking into it.
He seems to have someone behind...
and I don't have a good feeling about this.
(Trilaurin)
(Lawyer Kim Na Hee)
(Cha Mi Rye Law Office)
(Cha Mi Rye)
(Bill for Maintenance Fees)
I think the office is closed for good.
Look into whether she's a public defender or not.
Yes, sir.
Tae Sung, is Jung Woo's lawyer a public defender?
Okay.
She's not a public defender.
(Cha Mi Rye Law Office)
(Kim Na Hee Law Office)
How can I help you?
Well, we're here to see the lawyer, Cha Mi Rye.
Is she not here?
She's not taking cases anymore.
What about Ms. Kim Na Hee?
What is this regarding?
It's about child custody.
I see. Please give me a second.
(Volunteers for Marina's House)
You can go in now.
Hello. My name is Kim Na Hee.
- Hello. - Please take a seat.
She has a headache.
It will be better for her if she stands up.
I see. Okay. Sure.
Okay. So what brings you here?
It's about my divorce.
I'm worried about my child.
Is it about child custody?
Are you married?
She's my younger sister. I can't bring my wife here.
I see.
Excuse me. Wait.
I hope you wouldn't touch that.
I'm sorry. I just thought this looked interesting.
Ms. Kim, you made a lot of contributions to our society.
I see you do a lot of volunteer work.
Yes. I love kids.
Kids don't deceive, you know.
That's true.
Should we keep talking about your custody issue?
Yes.
Hey, you should try to talk to your wife one more time.
I think I should.
Okay. Why don't you do that?
By the way, whatever decision you make,
please don't forget that your child's happiness...
should be your first priority.
I'll make sure of it.
Kim Na Hee and Park Jung Woo are in the same volunteer group.
Did you find anything odd about her?
Her books and objects were precisely aligned.
It's an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I wonder what her disorder is about.
There were no mirrors in the office from the entrance.
Anxiety, a sense of loss,
and lack of self-presence. Which one is it?
People like her might seem perfect from the outside.
But they are different people inside.
Any clues for Hyun Soo?
None, sir.
None?
Could it be that we failed to find them?
Kim Na Hee.
We must look into her more.
(Hwayoung Police Station)
He keeps repeating that he doesn't remember.
Anything on Kim Na Hee?
Team Leader Hwang, when Park Jung Woo was in juvie,
Kim Na Hee was his lawyer.
When he got a job at the blanket factory,
Kim Na Hee was the one who vouched for him.
In my opinion,
she's grooming him.
If Park Jung Woo is being manipulated,
he must have a strong urge to earn her love and approval.
The fender-bender No Sang Chul had was caused by...
Kim Na Hee.
She probably didn't plan on causing the accident from the get-go.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
Darn it.
I didn't see your car as it was dark.
Were you even looking?
But why are you being rude?
- Forget about this. Just go. - No.
Let's call the insurance company.
I told you to forget this. Did you not hear me?
- What's wrong with you? - Darn it.
I told you to forget about it and just go!
Why... Why are you doing this to me?
I don't need to report this. Just go.
Then, why did Kim Na Hee killed No Sang Chul?
She must have seen Hyun Soo who was in the trunk...
of his car.
It was Kim Na Hee...
who killed No Sang Chul.
Then, Park Jung Woo...
Kim Na Hee told Park Jung Woo to take care of the body.
It's me. Come here and clean this up.
Park Jung Woo came to the scene after she left...
and took care of the body.
And he left No Sang Chul's car at the mountain.
He had to make it look like No Sang Chul took Hyun Soo...
and climbed up the mountain.
Of course, this is only my hypothesis.
It's convincing.
Locate Kim Na Hee and contact the patrol division.
Yes, ma'am.
(Lawyer Kim Na Hee)
- Find her. - Yes, sir.
Yes, Kim Na Hee is on the run.
Ji Min. Get me Kim Na Hee's plate number...
and locate her vehicle.
She's a prime suspect.
I located her vehicle.
Vehicle number, 48N 2465.
She's heading to Route 12 right now.
48N 2465.
Man Su, I think it's that vehicle.
48N 2465. Pull over!
This is the police!
48N 2465.
Pull over now!
We found Kim Na Hee's vehicle.
She's heading to Hongwoon Stream.
Freeze! Stop right there!
Don't move!
What is it? I just did what she told me to do.
She told me to throw this out.
Su Young.
Kim Na Hee told her paralegal to dispose this.
Kim Na Hee took over Cha Mi Rye's clients.
And she doesn't know who Hyun Soo is.
Darn it. Her car is right here. And her phone is turned off.
How can we find her?
Good work.
Hyun Woo is with Kim Na Hee now.
It means the kid is still alive, right?
Probably.
This leaves us with only one option.
It doesn't matter what. I just need a clue.
Can you find it?
I'll try.
(Lawyer Kim Na Hee)
(Looking for a missing child)
There were fliers.
What kind of fliers?
"Looking for a missing child".
"Lee Yu Bin, 12 years old".
"Lee Yu Bin".
I think I saw that flier at the terminal too.
Actually, that child is the same age as Hyun Soo.
Look into Lee Yu Bin. And find out her relationship with him.
Ji Min, find out Kim Na Hee's relationship to Lee Yu Bin.
Now.
Kim Na Hee got sensitive when you tried to touch the snow globe.
Excuse me. Wait. I hope you wouldn't touch that.
What was in there?
I just saw some miniature buildings inside the globe.
I'm sure the clue is in there. You must find it.
Team Leader Hwang.
Kim Na Hee's son went missing five years ago.
And a few days later, his body was found.
I knew it.
- What? - The child died five years ago,
but Kim Na Hee continued to put up the missing person fliers.
She couldn't accept the truth.
Kim Na Hee...
thinks Hyun Soo is her son.
This is driving me crazy. Where can I find that kid, Hyun Soo?
"Miro Land".
- What? - It's Miro Land.
The amusement park.
- That's nonsense. - Ji Min.
Check if Miro Land actually exists.
And if it does,
find out how that relates to Kim Na Hee.
It's urgent.
I found it. It's the place her father used to run.
It's closed down now.
- I'll send you the address now. - I found it.
I told you that I'm pretty good when it comes to playing Jenga.
I will never lose you again.
Yu Bin. Your mommy won.
You're not going anywhere!
You and I will never be separated again. Okay?
Yu Bin. Come here. Yu Bin!
Come out!
Yu Bin.
Open the door now.
Yu Bin.
Hey!
Yu Bin!
Yu Bin.
I will forgive you.
Where are you, Yu Bin?
Yu Bin.
Yu Bin, where are you?
Yu Bin.
Kim Na Hee has an extreme case of paranoia.
When she first saw Hyun Soo,
she regarded him as her son.
She didn't want to accept her childless past.
If she considers Hyun Soo as her son,
how would she consider the police?
People who are getting in the way of her happiness.
Yu Bin. Let's go home.
Yu Bin.
Yu Bin. You're a good boy, aren't you?
I found you.
Our backup will arrive soon.
Su Young and I will go that way.
We'll go this way.
Team Leader Hwang. Right here.
Go that way.
Okay.
Hyun Soo!
I found Hyun Soo. It's the rooftop of the building.
Hyun Soo. Hyun Soo.
Are you okay?
I'm here. You're going to be okay.
Are you hurt?
(Tell Me What You Saw)
It seems this murder case...
centers around the control over the district.
Ha Tae Sik is not an easy match.
He was always released due to the lack of evidence.
- Get me Oh Hyun Jae. - What?
Why did you ask for me?
I wanted a competent detective to catch me.
We must look at this in the perpetrators' point of view.
We must follow their logic and perspective.
I killed them.
They betrayed me. They had it coming.
Ha Tae Sik is hiding something. (Special thanks to Baek Ji Won.)
We must find that first. (Special thanks to Baek Ji Won.)
