(Episode 2)

You said you'll save me. Why aren't you coming?

I’m scared to death.

So this was where you were.

Se Young.

Se Young!

Please spare me.

Spare me.

Please.

Even if such is the case, what is this?

The customers are scared!

We are really sorry. Please tell him we are really sorry.

We sincerely apologize.

We had an emergency call.

Even if it was an emergency, how can you just barge in like this?

We sincerely apologize.

- We sincerely apologize. - We sincerely apologize.

That's the sound from a shishi odoshi.

That butcher's ryokan...

must have a small Japanese water mill, shishi odoshi.

Consider this as my resigning gift.

We won't see each other again after today anyway.

- Yes, Director Kang. - Detective, we found a clue.

A clue? We'll join you right away.

We'll be in touch.

Hello? This is Morinoiae ryokan.

I would like to file a report.

Yes.

That's right.

Sir, please...

Please find a ryokan that has a shishi odoshi, please.

Se Young is in that ryokan.

Shishi...what?

Shishi odoshi is a small Japanese water mill.

There must be a pond or a garden.

Ask the nearby police to search.

Among the guesthouses and ryokans with ponds,

narrow it down with places that have Japanese floor mat.

Please help us find guesthouses or ryokans with ponds,

that have Japanese floor mat.

Sure.

There are a total of 7 housings with ponds, including...

Kazeno Ie, Morinohosi, and Dake.

Since we don't have time, we should search as I say.

Detective Park and Detective Koo, search three ryokans above.

The rest will search the four ryokans below.

Please call as soon as you find anything.

You are here because you are worried, right?

Here.

I'm not worried. Think of this as finishing the rest of your food.

He's clearly a lunatic. So we must hurry.

Let's hurry.

You made things complicated, but it's fine.

Everything will be fine as long as you become my daughter.

This used to be my daughter's favorite dress.

How is it?

Do you like it?

Why are you doing this to me?

Great. Now I will cook curry, my daughter's favorite food.

Mari...

died because she could not say one thing.

"I love you, Dad!"

How hard can it be to say one simple thing?

Please, spare me. I beg you.

What's wrong?

You are alive.

We are now complete a family.

Mom will be happy to see you.

Now she has a sweet daughter like you!

Don't cry.

How can I help you?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm Jo Young Choon from the Consulate of Korea in Osaka.

- Search the second floor. - Second floor.

Here.

She's not here.

They are not picking up.

He said they are not picking up the phone.

No matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find anything there.

Did you find anything?

We didn't either.

This is just insane.

Are you out of your mind?

Because foreign police are searching tourist spots,

we are getting so many complaints!

We heard that the consulate received an emergency call.

We are not even sure if it's real or not.

How is that an excuse?

What? That's over the line!

A person is on the verge of death.

That's over the line.

A person might die.

What?

Just like how you go crazy to save your people,

it is our job to save ours.

You are the ones who must follow the rules!

With a single call,

you should know whether it is a prank call or not.

If you are at least a detective,

shouldn't that be obvious?

Look who it is.

Why are you pretending to play the good cop?

Hey,

before rescuing others, you should help yourself first.

Jeez.

Are you deaf?

I thought I explained enough already.

At this very moment when you are trying to pick a fight,

time is passing,

and the victim is dying.

Let's just go.

What was that?

(Voice 3)

(Episode 2, An Evil Lives in Shishiodoshi Ryokan!)

Agent Jin, you said the Atando Hot Spring Village is famous, right?

- Could you look it up online? - Right away, ma'am.

Agent Park, I think you should check this out.

This is the village map from six years ago.

In 2013, there were 2 ryokans named "Morinoiae".

But if you look here,

I think they changed the name along with the owner.

The name is now "Shishiodoshi"?

"Shishiodoshi" is... It can't be.

Director Kang? We found something odd.

We found online that...

the Morinoiae ryokan...

changed its name to "Shishiodoshi".

I remembered you mentioned that there was a shishi odoshi...

at the ryokan where Se Young is.

Send me the map.

There is a ryokan that changed its name from Morinoiae to Shishiodoshi.

I think it may have a connection.

Then she must be at a ryokan we haven't checked out yet.

(Se Young's Toast)

(My Daughter)

We would like to see the information regarding the ryokan owner.

Just a moment...

His name is Takahiro Kenichi.

He bought it six years ago,

but he is single.

He bought the place six years ago.

But he says that he is single.

I think that's the one.

Se Young mentioned that she can see a forest outside the window.

The windows on the second floor look out to the forest.

Let's hurry up, then. We don't have time!

Hey, you! Korean police officers!

Without proper formalities, it is trespassing beyond this point!

If the victim is killed, what are you going to do then?

If the victim dies because of formalities,

it will be your responsibility.

Please understand the stances of the Korean police.

Thank you.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Gosh.

Why would she turn off her phone?

(Seo Yul)

(Aunt)

Hello?

Seo Yul,

Se Young went on a trip to Japan,

but it says her phone is turned off.

Oh, that...

It's nothing. I'll call you back.

Something is wrong, isn't it?

Don't try to fool me.

Did something...

happen to Se Young?

The truth is...

I think she may have been kidnapped in Japan.

What?

What did you say?

What? What do I do?

My Se Young! What do I do?

The Golden Time Team director and leader are over there.

So we're going to find her. Don't worry.

We have her location tracked down.

So we really can find her. I promise you.

Seo Yul!

I...

I should do something...

I have to...

Se Young...

Se Young... Please...

Please...

What brings you here?

Well, a Korean tourist called...

saying that she was getting a death threat,

but the location was unclear. So we're on patrol, sir.

A death threat?

How can such a terrifying thing...

May we come in?

Of course.

But we don't have any guests today.

Come on... in.

Detective Park and Detective Koo, check the basement and garden.

We'll check the first floor.

There is nothing here.

You seem to have an interest in photography,

but I don't see any family portraits.

My guests are my family.

Besides, I am celibate.

What are you doing?

Are you fooling around instead of looking for that girl?

Bring that girl to me this instance.

If there even is any.

The family portrait Se Young mentioned is nowhere to be seen.

I'm sure this is the right place.

- Where could she be? - I can tell he is...

Something about his tone of voice and the way he stammered...

tells me he's hiding something.

His mouth was smiling unlike his eyes,

and he seemed distant in each of the pictures he took with his guests.

He seems to be obsessive and dominant,

believing in only what he wants to believe in.

Hey, Golden Time Team!

Are you done playing detective?

What do we do? We're running out of time.

What else can we do?

We need to arrest him.

She's nowhere to be found.

I think we got the wrong place.

If you're done playing around,

you should go to the consulate.

We didn't get the wrong place.

You just weren't searching thoroughly.

Sorry?

Team Leader Do, you're speaking out of line.

We tried our best while searching.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's obvious you weren't being meticulous enough.

This is why only smart people should become detectives.

I can't take this anymore.

What's gotten into you today?

How could you talk so rudely like that?

What is it? Do you feel guilty?

Do you think you're any different?

Are you high on drugs or something?

Calm down, or you might actually hit me.

If blabber one more time, I will hit you.

Please. What's gotten into you?

That's enough.

And they call themselves detectives?

Let's pull out.

That was a fascinating show back there.

I'll see you back at the consulate.

And you.

You seem to have issues controlling your temper.

You should take some more medication.

I'll be seeing you soon with an arrest warrant.

I'll talk to them.

Director Kang, let's go.

Go where?

This is the beginning.

I can't believe this.

We are too stupid to do this.

What is this the beginning of?

Team Leader Do picked a fight with you in order to throw...

Detective Sakarai and Takahiro off their guards.

- What? - That dirtbag...

wasn't flustered at all and gave us his alibi so easily.

He's experienced.

He even allowed us to come in.

He firmly believes that we won't find Se Young.

If we want to catch him, we need to find his weakness.

Agent Park, look into Takahiro Kenichi,

the owner of Shishiodoshi ryokan.

Tell me anything you can find. Hurry.

Yes, ma'am. But it will take some time...

to go through the foreign office.

Wait a minute. Director Kang.

I looked through the terms of Happy House.

It said you need a business registration number...

in order to upload advertisements.

Although he deleted his advertisement,

I might be able to get some leftover information if I'm lucky.

Okay, hurry. We have no time.

Yes, ma'am.

Mari.

Mari?

Who...

are you?

Where is Mari?

Mari!

Mari...

Ma'am. Can you...

take out my phone?

I need to call the police.

I need to do it while the jammer is off.

Please!

I don't want to die, okay?

There's a strap on my phone.

Please use your foot to take it out.

My mom made it for me.

Ma'am.

I want...

to live.

Please help me.

I miss my mom.

I think he used a fake name.

What? It's fake?

Yes. Look.

The business registration number belongs to Suzuki Kenichi.

All the data connect to that name.

Did you look into Suzuki Kenichi?

Yes, I did. He's a dangerous one.

He even took medication for his delusions.

He's a Korean who was born in Japan.

In 2013, he took over the ryokan with the insurance money...

he received from the deaths of his wife and daughter.

Director Kang, Takahiro's real name is Suzuki Kenichi,

and he's a Korean who was born in Japan.

His Korean name is Kim Geon Il.

Since five years before her death, his wife, Suzuki Sora,

reported of domestic violence many times.

But the reports were dropped every single time.

According to her statement, she was sexually assaulted...

and got married after graduating from high school.

He was also arrested after causing a scene, claiming that...

his daughter belonged to a fellow colleague of his.

It seems like he has a serious case of delusional jealousy.

- What? - Seeing how he used an app,

he used the same method to scam people...

at Momi Love Hotel.

Also, there was a seminar that talked about Reset Syndrome,

where a South American husband murdered his entire family,

claiming that they looked down on him...

and kidnapped a new family.

He chose his targets while running this ryokan.

He attempted to reset his family and record it.

It is Se Young.

Se Young, is it you?

Save me.

Save me.

She's in an enclosed space.

There's a slight echo.

- Her hands are tied. - Save me.

She is trying her best to talk.

I think she is trapped in a concrete space.

Save me.

What is this?

Did you call the police?

Save... Save me.

Se Young.

I was going to cherish you dearly.

I was cut off.

Takahiro is there. We need to be quick.

No!

How dare you?

I was going to cherish you as well.

How dare you betray me?

Hold on.

Killing this girl first...

will cause you more pain.

No...

No...

Ma'am...

Have you guys gotten closer already?

You almost look like mother and daughter.

There must be an entrance to an enclosed area.

Detective Koo, search the garden.

Detective Park and I will search the interior.

Guard the entrance.

If we waste more time, Se Young will be in serious danger.

Be calm. There could be a sound that I missed.

- Nothing. - Sir,

I found a suspicious-looking well.

Se Young.

Right.

That was the sound of her feet getting caught on the stairs.

There was a total of seven stairs.

Her phone was hung up...

a few seconds after that sound completely stopped.

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6, 7.

I heard a sound with regular intervals seven times.

Could it be...

Right.

The entrance is around here.

Here.

It is the smell of chemicals.

It is a strong acid that is used to decompose proteins.

It leaked underground and contaminated the well.

It must mean that she is somewhere in here.

Team Leader Do.

Director Kang.

- Where is she? - She isn't here.

It is incredible that you figured it out this far.

The Japanese police never got this close.

You are completely crazy.

What are you talking about?

You must turn yourself in at least now...

and beg for forgiveness.

If you at least remember the time...

that you lived as a normal father and husband,

this will be your last chance to apologize to them.

Shut it!

Detective Park.

Dispatch Two speaking. Kwang Soo, come to the living room staircase.

His base is under here.

You just stepped into your own demise.

Are you okay?

Team Leader Do.

Are you okay?

Let's go.

- Director Kang. - Are you okay, Se Young?

Se Young.

Dispatch Three speaking. We found Kwon Se Young.

We need an ambulance.

Okay.

Are you okay?

How are Mi Ae and the lady?

Jung Mi Ae is still breathing.

Do you think you can get up?

The lady is safe too.

That's a relief.

You did well.

I want to go home quickly.

I want to go back to my mom.

Okay.

Let's go quickly.

Detective Park, we should split up.

- Go uphill. - Okay.

Get up.

You crazy jerk.

You uploaded that filthy snuff film on the secret network, right?

You lured in the victim family...

and spewed nonsense about the reset family.

You raped them and killed them.

You must have seen my work too.

Where is that jerk who helped you upload that video?

That's all I need to know.

I don't know what you want to find out,

But you won't get any information from me!

If I talk,

both of us will die!

Awake...

You must know about the reset button too.

But too bad. You must die by my hands today.

You crazy jerk.

There is no reset button in reality.

The pain that you feel right now is the reality.

Tell me about the secret network right now.

If you don't tell me,

I will make sure that worthless mouth of yours...

really...

becomes unusable.

How dare you laugh?

Who are you?

Tell me.

Tell me!

You psychopath!

You don't want to talk?

I'll make this painful.

Don't move.

Korea! I heard that person went to Korea!

I'm not sure, but that person had something to take care of.

I'm sure.

Please spare me.

You're going to die anyway.

Team Leader Do!

Are you trying to kill him?

Sir, that is enough!

Why are you doing this? Snap out of it!

Dispatch Two speaking. We've successfully apprehended...

Suzuki Kenichi, the owner of a ryokan and a serial murderer,

for kidnap and attempted murder of Kwon Se Young.

Please calm down, everyone.

We will tell you the details...

during the official press conference.

Please return.

- I'm okay. - Are you?

You don't have to come.

Mi Ae?

She gained consciousness and was taken to the hospital.

Yes, it's a relief.

Mom, stop crying.

How can I stop crying when you're breaking my heart?

I was in so much pain, waiting to hear from you.

I'm sorry.

We need to head to the airport right now.

Se Young, let's hang up.

I'll be there soon.

Okay.

I need to get in the ambulance. So I'll see you soon.

This is a relief.

It sure is.

Who knew they'd be in so much danger while on a trip?

Where is Director Kang?

I think she is talking to Team Leader Do in private.

I was terrified back there.

Team Leader Do looked like he was about to kill him.

Oh, come on.

He looked like he was possessed.

So he's responsible for the disappearance...

of the mother and daughter in Hokkaido?

We did an identity check on the survivor.

It turned out, she is Kobayashi Yasumi...

who disappeared after traveling to Osaka.

Her daughter, Kobayashi Mari, was already murdered.

He lured his victims with cheap room prices,

trapped them underground...

and forced them to act like a family with him,

and then made snuff films.

They think there were more victims.

That Do Kang Woo was lucky.

Oh, right.

The Forensics Team called.

Do Kang Woo's DNA was not found...

at the crime scene of Kaneki Yukiko.

What?

Find out where he stayed for the past 10 months. Hurry.

Yes, sir.

You jerk!

How did it go?

I looked into it.

I can't track the heavy uploader who provides the videos...

because they went off the grid.

But there's a rumor that one of their men...

lives in a ryokan and uploads snuff films...

on some other platform.

He is a perverted scumbag.

We need to talk.

I know for sure that you are hiding something.

I know that you picked up a call in the car...

on our way to Se Young.

I heard your conversation as well.

Who is it?

Who are you looking for?

Tell me whether or not...

Takahiro is relevant to the person you're looking for,

and what kinds of investigations you've been up to.

If you don't, I won't help you one bit regarding...

your smuggling into this country and your immigration records.

I am going to ignore your situation.

I guess it cannot be helped.

Like I said, we will go on our separate ways.

A black sedan was observing everything that happened.

What?

The day Bang Je Soo set fire to that student hostel,

a car was watching us.

That's when I realized that someone else was behind this.

In Bang Je Soo's work records,

I found out that he sent a wooden box...

to a postal box in Osaka at the beginning of every month.

A postal box?

The owner of that postal box had disappeared many years ago.

I didn't want them to know that I was after them.

So I smuggled myself into Osaka...

and looked for the person who opened that postal box.

Surprisingly, they were women.

They were frequenters of the most popular...

host club in Osaka.

(Osaka, 8 months ago)

See you soon.

See you soon.

They were Dark Web brokers.

(Tomoyuki)

I told you that I didn't know!

How would a host like me know about that?

If you're trying to be smart like you do at work,

you will die.

If you want, you can live the rest of your life...

with a scar on your face.

Not my face! No!

I'm just an errand boy.

If I placed the box with the body parts inside...

at the given location,

it was gone the next day.

At first, I didn't even know what it was.

Auction Fabre!

It's called Black Collection.

But it's just a rumor! So I'm not certain.

"Black Collection"?

They sold body parts?

A Dark Web called Auction Fabre is behind Bang Je Soo.

It's a type of auction where they deal with...

hardcore snuff films, body parts, and souvenirs...

of serial killers after receiving them...

from heavy uploaders.

Bang Je Soo was a heavy uploader in charge of body parts.

There are suppliers, buyers,

and those who clean them up.

It's the most heinous and disgusting cartel I've ever seen.

That cannot be.

Among the VVIP members, do you know what...

the most popular category is for those who hate Korea?

Body parts of Korean detectives.

Team Leader Jang Gyeong Hak's shoulders and Hyung Joon's wrist.

They were sold at very high prices.

That is ridiculous.

They are not human. They are pure evil.

Are the Japanese police not aware of this?

We need to round them up.

Are you sure none of the members are high-ranking officials?

I'll report this to Commissioner Yoo.

Sir, this is Kang Kwon Joo. Please call me as soon as...

Get me more next time.

You know that you have used too much already, right?

That thing inside you...

You can slow it down, but you cannot stop it.

It seems like he has his reasons,

but we can't trust Team Leader Do's unilateral opinion.

This is an international cybercrime that is against humanity.

And we got such evidence...

because Team Leader Do risked his own life to get it.

But we cannot fully trust Do Kang Woo yet.

If saving the Korean tourists today is not enough for you,

I have no idea what you need to trust him.

But the important thing is this.

He went through so much alone to find the real culprit.

And Team Leader Do's sickness...

You said that a partner is like a family member for police officers.

I remember that.

Team Leader Do, this is just the beginning.

I will make them see us strike back.

I wish...

that you would be by my side when that moment comes.

(Do Kang Woo's residence in Japan)

I was told that he was storing something.

I let him use this room because he paid me eight months' worth...

of the rent beforehand.

Anyway, that man...

Are you sure that he is not in his right mind?

Let us stop this meaningless talk.

You must never tell him that I was here.

Open the door.

(Dead, the Dark Web)

This jerk...

(Dead)

(Awake, The boss and henchmen)

(Hanmaum Sanitarium, Daegyung-gu, Poongsan, Korea)

Gosh, I'm so scared. What is going on?

Could this be real too?

What should I do?

I'm so scared.

I think he's over there.

The Grim Reaper must be here to get me.

The Grim Reaper won't find me here.

But what should I do if he finds me?

Seriously. Didn't you watch the news?

What are you doing down here?

Come up now. Quickly.

- I'm just scared. - What?

What are you so scared about? Is it lightning?

- I'll sit down. - Just get to sleep.

Okay.

The... The Grim Reaper.

No.

He must be here to get me.

Please help me.

The Grim Reaper.

Seriously. Why would the Grim Reaper be here for you?

Let go of me. I'll get him. Just get to sleep now.

I'm done for.

(Burying Beetle)

Are you hiding well?

Of course.

But the old ladies annoy me.

Do not act up.

There is news about Do Kang Woo being found in Japan.

I will meet Tarantula tomorrow.

If it is because of your blackouts, you do not have to worry so much.

I will also take responsibility and help with your treatment.

I will work with you for a month with the same team as before.

And...

I will leave without hesitation when the case is closed.

Welcome back,

Team Leader Do.

Just who is this guy?

The Japanese police of Osaka...

have announced this afternoon...

that they arrested Takahiro Kenichi, a serial killer,

who lured in multiple victims and murdered them.

However, Detective Do Kang Woo, who was missing for eight months,

was found to be in Japan.

But there are no records of him entering Japan.

The Korean police are being criticized for answering...

that he did it by himself while he was on a vacation.

He came back.

Kousuke...

(Voice 3)

It looks like he was even making voyeur films in his home.

It is getting more interesting.

His symptoms must have become worse.

He seemed like he is enduring it by using stimulants.

The next target is Bang Je Soo.

If he hears that Kwak Dok Ki has been murdered,

even Bang Je Soo will have no choice but to speak.

Waio Shun killed Dok Ki, right?

If you have something you want to know,

figure it out by yourself.

Detective Do Kang Woo, it must be difficult to restrain yourself.
