Hey, chief, how's it going?

Hey, this is my jurisdiction

basic living security recipient ♪ jeong myung-so0ok

no sign of trespassing, suicide pills or food

the only one that keep in touch with her was the social worker,

she stated jeong never interacted with neighbors...

Seems like the old lady lived and died lonely

I guess it's her this time

that jeong myung-sook

Hey, miss baek!

Miss baek!

Finish this up, will you?

You wanna mess your hands up?

Just for a few more bucks?

- Give it to me. - You should have gloves on

Shit, I can almost see your panties

Here, put it on

With those rags, you'll freeze to death

I always wanted to shred that shit-colored jacket

I've been waiting for the right moment, but I won't

it doesn't look cool

fuck cool for crying out loud...

It's badly paid, and it's frigid winter

stop that car wash job

before you freeze to death

considering all those jobs you have,

I can't believe you won't get yourself anything decent

whatcha gonna do with all that cash? Use it as fucking wallpaper?

Hey, Mr. smartass

what the fuck?

What?

Your eyes tell me something's cooking

Your mother was found dead this morning

the exact cause of death was not known vet

we need to do an autopsy,

but for now it looks like she died of lung cancer

She's been dead for a while

Should we cremate her?

Well you're her guardian, right?

Guardian...

I...

Just wanted to see how she died

that's why I'm here

do as vou please

Yoosung eel stew

Jeez...

You need to get a new car

to catch the bad guys...

Mum, you refused me a college education I desperately wanted

then made me stay home and wash his stupid diapers

I hope you're satisfied from up there!

That I'm a single old maid dealing with this kinda shit

she was married once

hey, it didn't last long

shut up, twerp...

Goddamn it!

What's up with your hand?

Did you arrest a criminal again?

My brother is detective

shut up...

Great detective of violent crimes section

hey, jang-sup

You just never listen to me

I may be sick of washing your filthy undies, but how dare she!

You're the only family I've got, you know?!

A girl with no class or

- foundation... - Who says I'm marrying her?

She has no intention of marrying me

how come?

She doesn't want you?

Forget it

she must be kidding, for god's sake...

Doesn't she know you're a detective?

Not everyone can be one,

with a sexy face like yours, and 6 feet tall

she doesn't deserve you = shit

she doesn't have a clue how dare she...

It tastes like shit

I can't believe this sells

- are you coming? - Spit it out if you think it's shit!

This round, I bring something big!

Jeong myung-sook had a criminal record?

The old lady was suspicious, anyway...

So, I looked into her information

she spent 6 years in a prison, and released in 2007

is it him? Seochang construction's boy

yeah, the asshole...

He was vour first suspect, right?

Jeong myung-sook hit that asshole by car,

to avenge baek sang-ah's case

you fucking bitch!

Awe, goddamn you

chief, she's still in high school!

She's clearly a rape victim, why can't be self-defense?

She's just a punk who lived at an orphanage,

while his dad is a seochang construction major stockholder,

and his brother-in-law's a district court judge

you think it'll be possible to indict him?

Let's go

there she is!

Protect her

Let's get married

I said, let's get married

Goddamn you

I told you it's not in my fate to be anyone's wife or mom?

Say it twice more and it'll be the 470th time

Hey, what's that?

Uh?

Are you really leaving for jeju island?

Without discussing it with me?

I'm asking you!

What am I to you?

Don't I mean anything to you?

Jang-sup

the more you get involved, the worse your life will get

ti don't deserve married life

so just go find a girl good for you

what am I supposed to do?

What should I do more?

Why don't you stop?!

I feel suffocated by the look you give me

that pathetic, apologetic face you send at me

for the rest of my life?

And didn't I tell you not to look for that woman?

What were you expecting?

Shit, I'm sorry that I did, goddamn it!

I'm fucking sorry!

You might be a fucking bitch, but I thought you would forgive her

seeing your mom died that miserably

fuck you! What the fuck do you know?!

That woman

would drink herself sick and beat me like crazy

and even that wasn't enough so she abandoned me

that goddamn memory!

That held me back and messed up my life. You were there to see it!

What, forgive her?

This is it

stop butting into my life

I beg you

Damn it...

Miss baek

She should have been starving...

Don't look at them

I'm sorry...

Ma'am...

What about your mom and dad...?

My dad... he's the only one at home

Whatever

what do I care? Shit...

Ji-eun

Sis...

Hi there

I was passing by

Well, not quite

but now she comes out and acts like she's starving

Welfare discontinuation notice look here!

Her dad's an alcoholic going through rehab

if you just cut off child support,

then how are we to raise the kid?

No, you don't need to know who I am

Hey, get it there

men are scared off if women jump at them first

then what should we do?

A good push and pull will do the job

hey, joo! What brings you here at this hour?

Sis...

She's not my kid

it's none of my business

it's nothing like that

I just don't want you to get the wrong idea

actually,

my boyfriend had her with his ex when he was 20

I just took her under my wing

I didn't even know he had a kid

I thought he would wake up and get a job, right?

But when this kept on for vears

I couldn't take it anymore and thought of leaving, but...

We just physically grew on each other

sometimes you feel like leaving your own kid

so how do you think it feels

raising someone else's kid,

right?

Hey!

Joy!

Did you eat, huh?

How"ve you been?

This is why a dog's better than a human being

Kim il-gon

the state cut off your kid's child support

I can't believe I'm still in this shithole

Whatcha lookin at?

I said, whatcha lookin at?!

What...

You think I'm easy?

Hey

tell me, you think I'm easy!

Your face disgusts me

How do vou do?

Come in, please...

You must be shaken up after being questioned at the nambu precinct.

Sorry to bother you again on the phone...

It's okay

but to be the first to find her

it's tough

it was hard that her last image lingered on for days

and I keep remembering the things she used to tell me

when mrs jeong lose her husband and suffered from severe depression,

she would beat her daughter whenever she got drunk

so... she blamed herself for ruined her daughter's life

she suffered a lot

Death certificate

you're her guardian...

She beats you?

Tell me. Joo mi-gyeong did this things to you?!

No...

That chicken, there! This, that and that

Awe...

What the hell am I doing?

Just finish it

Where were you planning to go?

I was just hungry

they don't seem to feed you, but give you money?

After they beat me,

they give me money

Does anvone know about this?

Get up

precinct station

Why?

They, the police...

They send me back home...

Ma'am, you need to slow down on the disciplining

make sure this doesn't happen again

I'm sorry

Hey, Kim il-gon

don't you know I am going through

all kinds of troubles to feed the fucking girl?

Hey!

Damn it...

Miss baek, is it done?

Look, it's still dirty

here and there... Stains are not erased

jeez...

Oh, okay

By the way,

What was I thinking, goddamn it...

Goddamn it - hey!

Thank you

About your mom,

miss baek, where's your mom?

She's in hell, my mom

Run from me

as far as you can

Get up. Let's go home

Didn't I tell you not to wander around?

Come on in!

What the fuck are you doing?

What are you doing?

That's a good boy!

Sis...

What the fuck are you doing?

You...

- If you lay a finger on her... - What do you mean?

Who me?

Is that what you told her?

Don't

get off me

who are you to interfere with my life?

You're nothing but a measly masseuse!

If you're not up to the responsibility,

stop meddling in my business

I'm sure you've never even raised a dog

if you really want to have her, how about $100 grand?

Then take her at the price of $100 grand

you fucking bitch!

Kim ji-eun

didn't I tell you to stop biting your nails?

She has a habit of biting her nails

and how did this wound happen?

I fell down

by myself...

Stay here

the next door lady said she never heard a child crying...

Since it's winter vacation, we can't ask her school

but I told you I'm a witness!

It'll be a headache if anything goes wrong

we have no concrete proof for now

I know the law, but it's hard to pass any judgements right now

come on, even the kid is denying everything

don't make this a big deal

what about her taking our kid without our consent?

Also causing disturbance at our home?

Shouldn't you include housebreaking

and assault as well as personal attack?

By the way,

what's your relationship to the child?

Can you show me any identification?

If you don't have any on you, write your ID number here

Baek sang-ah

Chief

look...

Uh,

baek sang-ah

You have a criminal record in '99

what is it?

Are vou okay?

I'm with the joongbu precinct what is it?

How could they beat such a small child?

The children's crisis center told me they'll visit her soon,

so let's see how things go

Ti found the kid!

- Where is the kid? - Over there, sir

it's been 4 days, since he is buried

the kid's father and father's girlfriend confessed to the murder

Hundreds of thousands of children are abused in this small country,

while a number of centers are this small, it fuckin' makes sense?

Excuse me?

They don't have a slot for her at the center

and they promised to visit her regularly...

Right

for someone's who's never owned a dog...

I must've been possessed

I shouldn't have interfered

The kid's fine

day after tomorrow?

Okay, please come

Kim il-gon

the center people are visiting, so keep an eye on her

until they leave, don't touch her, okay?

It'll be a headache if they find a new bruise

are you feeling sick? Let's get you into warm clothes

ooh, it's cold

Shit!

Miss baek...

Miss baek

hey,

baeky!

I can't believe you're spacing out in front of cash?

Herel

I threw in your severance pay as well

it'll be hard to find another employee like you, baeky

but you've got jang-mi

who, me?

What about me? What?

I knew something smelled fishy

are you moving in together with jang-sup? Huh?

If not, then are you pregnant?

I'm late

joy's here. You had to get away from daddy

I thought he became calm, but I guess not

Kim il-gon goes batshit crazy when he's drunk

and it drives me crazy

I'll be back in a jiffy. Thanks for looking after him

see ya - okay

what happened?

Something happen between you two?

Don't drink it

It'll only keep you alive

Stop it.

Dad... dy...

Forgive me...

It irritates me... That sniveling...

I said, stop, goddamn it!

Hey

Just...

Just fucking die...

That'll be better, right?

For us both, right?

Awe, shit...

I told her no! Why the fuck were you born?!

I wish you were dead...

I'm sorry for being born...

A woman was calling the girl, pressing the doorbell like crazy!

When was that?

Did you see the woman?

Hey!

Open the goddamn door!

Open it!

Hey!

Why didn't you open the door! You stupid fuck!

You know who I am, don't you?

Hey, what the fuck?

Hey!

Where's the kid?

Kim il-gon

I'll protect you

I'll protect you too

Excuse me,

but in the er tonight,

was there a kid this big and...

Jung-ang hospital

Baek sang-ah

Baek sang-ah

What is it that you want?

Do you want to raise her?

8 years ago,

in my mailbox

I found an envelope with a savings account book

I felt so embarrassed

my house entrance she passed through was narrow and filthy

the mailbox she stuck

the envelope in was covered in rust

Its miserable state was so embarrassing

so

Your mother

let you go to save you

She said that day,

was a day she never forgot

I guess it haunted her until the day she died

Doctor! Doctor!

Help...

Help, please help

please help

Arrest me

ma'am, what's the matter?

- Arrest me - Excuse me? Madam...

Arrest me

don't let me near my kid, please

- arrest me, please - What happened?

Let go, let me go!

- Let go! Arrest me! - Ma'am, snap out of it!

Don't let me near my kid!

Lost children shelter

Run from me

as far as you can

I'll take your picture!

Mom...

Can a person like me...

Is it okay for me

to be a mom?

How many years sentenced for child abuse

Damn you...

Hey, Kim il-gon...

Did you know?

I thought she'd be better off dead...

The cover up would be a drag, but

I thought it would make you come around

a kid, I could always give birth to one...

Anyway, listen carefully

if you don't want us to rot away in prison,

we have to move first before center people come

Why's he acting weird?

Er...

Didn't you say that woman

had a criminal record?

Huh?

I mean

my girlfriend went on a business trip to countryside,

I never told her cause she will worry about it

my child goes missing

why you have been bothering me since last night?!

I can't work for crying out loud!

You said a cop dropped by to check the cctv footage, right?

The cop took it with him!

What was on it?

For heaven's sake,

the masseuse girl

slipped into the alley holding the kid and disappeared that way

the kid seemed hurt bad since she wasn't moving

you know, she had a criminal record

once it's found that she took the kid, file a report

that she's been kidnapped

This happened here before

with a lady going crazy over finding the kid

- yeah? - Yes...

But it doesn't look like a place where a kid's been living

how does your daughter spend her time playing?

Well, she's always home, so...

Ah...

How tall is she?

Her height...

About this tall?

What was she wearing when she disappeared?

I'm...

I'm not sure

Did you do a background check on her?

What?

Attempted murder?

The woman who came to er...

Is this her?

I found her! The time's around 22:36.

Hey, baek sang-ah! Pick up the phone

you'll be arrested, if you run away with her

I going there right now, so sit and wait

boarding ticket I going there right now, so sit and wait

What's going on?

Sorry, but breakfast's not ready vet

oh my, there's a child I'm so sorry

yes, see you again

Now it's all fine

I'll go to your place to look for evidence,

so promise to explain well to the cops, okay?

Fine

- what should I do... - Get her some food

and stop making a fuss

I guess she needs to eat

have you ever tried eel stew before?

Should I fry eel? Jang-sup!

Yeah, you need to find a way to be happy together

Her father's filed charges for kidnapping

so we need a proof that she's been beaten

t'll take care of it

so don't go anywhere, just stay right here, okay?

Where's your cell phone?

Turn yours off

and have mine

so let's see what we can do

Since she's recognized as an abused child

once she enters the children's crisis center,

they won't easily hand her over to an ex-convict

yes, that's the situation...

What's this about?

Nothing

I see

okay, thank you

okay

hey, hey!

You son of a bitch

what, kidnapped?

- Jang-sup! What's going on? - Where the hell is she?

You son of a bitch

drop the charges, now!

Or else you and that bitch will regret you're alive

huh?!

What's all the commotion? Is there a fight?

The child on the 2nd floor has disappeared

the 2nd floor?

You mean the kid hanging from the window yesterday?

I drank too much and called a chauffeur service yesterday

and...

I saw a kid dangling from the 2nd floor

I thought I was hallucinating...

What do you mean a kid was hanging...

Here, here, rewind!

- Rewind! - Keep quiet

- rewind, hurry! - I'm watching it!

What's this?

She wasn't kidnapped, goddamn it!

That fucking asshole! = police?

We are doomed. Cut it!

Hey, get him!

Kim il-gon

Sis...

Anything wrong?

Shut up!

Just shut the fuck up!

I just knew she'd drag me down one day

from the day I laid eyes on her, she was bad luck

without her, Kim il-gon wouldn't have become so fucked up

without her, my life wouldn't have been so desperate

If we get rid of her, no need to worry about evidence, right?

.« 35-year-old park was sentenced 7 years for child abuse resulting in death

the court found park guilty of all charges,

he was a first time offender and expressing deep remorse for his crimes

goddamn it, he should've received the death penalty

that it was outrageous to apply death by abuse

fuck the court

Fucking unbelievable...

As horrible as it is,

nothing can cut family ties except death

I guess you really like her

it's not your fault

if there is one, it's just that you two aren't related

Uh? Hey, look at me!

This is what you did to your own kid! Look hard!

Hey, jang-sup!

Let him talk

go! Just fuckin go!

Hey, let me ask you this

isn't she your own kid?

Even if it just happened, isn't she your own kid?!

Did you really mean to kill her?

Did you?

She didn't die, did she?

Awe, come on...!

Let go, get out!

I was beaten as a kid, but did I end up dead?

Where were you all when I needed help?

So lay off you sons-of-bitches!
