Try calling me "Mom."

Teacher, are you my mom now?

Even if I call you Yoon Bok starting now,

you don't suddenly become Yoon Bok.

Little by little, it will be like that.

Even though I can't suddenly become Yoon Bok's mom right away,

little by little, I think it will become like that.

That way both you'll become Yoon Bok some day,

and I'll become Yoon Bok's mom.

Isn't that so?

My mom... How sad will she be when I die?

I just wanted to know that.

But my mom is not sad.

she wished me to be dead.

Can I protect this child?

Can I become this child's mom?

Even though I don't have my mom?

How can I become a mom?

Mom.

You were waiting for me, right?

I'm not scared, mom.

It looks like I just need to be brave.

Yoon Bok. Yoon Bok.

Even if I become Hye Na again,

I hope that on the inside, I wish to remain as Yoon Bok.

So that later, when you meet me again, Mom,

you can call me Yoon Bok.

- Yoon Bok! - Mom!

Have you been well, Mom?

Have you been well?

I, whenever my mom calls me by name, I'm reminded that I'm my mom's child.

Come out! Your mom is here!

- Stop it. Let's have a conversation between adults. - Get out of my way!

Now, Hye Na cannot go home.

My name is Yoon Bok.

What are you saying, Hye Na? You're right here.

You're Hye Na.

What's your real name?

I am Hye Na.

Kim Hye Na, Grandma.

Aren't I not your grandma, Hye Na?

Please forgive my mom.

The reason my mom kidnapped me

and lied to people

was all because of me. It was my fault.

Mom, you won't be able to meet your family because of me.

Because of me, it will be too... harsh on you.

You did the same thing, too.

You threw away everything for me

and ran away with me, didn't you?

It's the same reason.

Mom.

Weren't you afraid on your own?

I was scared,

but a child also needs to protect her mom.

A mom should protect her child. Not the other way around.

Other kids don't need to,

but I need to protect my mom.

As high as the sky and as wide as the earth,

I love you, Mom.

- Episode 12 -

We need a plan.

We can't just go inside.

From here onwards, I'll go by myself.

No, we have to report it to the police first.

That man wants me.

He'll already know that I'm coming.

If he sees that I came with another person, Yoon Bok may be put in bigger danger.

There's an entrance through which you can get in secretly.

It's a prayer room in the basement.

The entrance is hidden behind a bookshelf so Teacher Glara could spend time alone, without children.

You can enter there from a door outside.

After I go in, you come in through that door,

and only call the police

if you think the situation has gotten out of hand.

I actually had two moms:

I am going to die.

a good mom

Can you live on your own without me?

Can you live without me?!

and a bad mom.

On that morning, I totally expected a good mom would be there for me.

Mom?

Mom?

I haven't cried even once since then.

I can't hold back when I see crying children.

19, 20, 21

22, 23

Mom!

Uncle,

I know what you were thinking then.

It would've been better if I'd died.

Then, my mom wouldn't have died.

I know because I had the same thought.

When my mom took a lot of drugs and didn't wake up,

if I hadn't been there, my mom wouldn't have died.

I wish...

I could disappear.

I told you not to cry.

I told you not to cry.

Uncle, you're crying.

She's not dead.

You can see her breathing.

I'll give you the money so let the kid go.

Shall we sit?

Have a seat and let's have a better talk.

I was so dumbfounded.

Hye Na had

a sparkling necklace... around her neck.

She boasted about how precious she had become.

Why do children mistake that they are so precious?

So I needed to tell her the truth.

"Hye Na... you are absolutely nothing in this world"

"No one will care even you die."

Then..

you really came.

How are you going to get the money to me?

Once Hye Na gets into my car safely, I will transfer the money to your account immediately.

All 500 million won?

I thought that 500 million won was quite a large sum.

I thought that it would cause arguing among your family members about whether it could be paid.

And you complain and beg, "It's too much" " let's bargain a little" " I need more time."

But I guess not.

Will someone send the money when you call?

- My mother. - Hum.

I guess you can't call her now.

What are you going to do? There is no way to save Hye Na.

No. There must be a way.

Think about it.

Do you want more money?

You can go abroad and start a new life, I will help you or if not that...

There is no other way. I am going to end everything here.

There is no one leaving here alive.

I... made a rule.

You cry, you die.

And I will definitely make you cry today.

The first time I killed

was by accident.

Because the child was too noisy.

But, the child's mom came running into the emergency room after work.

She was crying very loudly out of relief.

"Finally I'm relieved," that feeling.

I knew then that I was that mother's savior.

If the child should live, it will be mom who will die.

The kid was like a parasite who fed off her mom.

The second mom was the same.

Like a devil, she was crying and laughing.

Her mouth was crying, but her eyes were laughing like this.

That look was so satisfying to me.

I really did something good for those moms.

I did something that their moms really wanted but dared not express aloud.

How do you think Hye Na's mom will take it?

She'll probably cry for a couple days.

But she'll be able to find happiness again.

Because she's suffered so much because of Hye Na.

Isn't that why your birth mother also abandoned you here?

My mom did it to save me.

If one had to save either only the mom or the child, it's obviously the mother.

Children only think about themselves.

They cry because they're hungry, because they're sick, because they're sleepy.

Their lives are all indebted to their mom.

But you, you don't even know the suffering a mother has to go through while raising a child.

What?

You're her mom?

Take a right at the next intersection. Samcheondong #1732-36.

What's there? Is it a house?

Jeong Ae Won? It's closed now, but

I think it was a type of orphanage.

Orphanage?

Yoon Bok?

Yoon Bok?

Mom.

Mom?

Is ths woman your mom?

There's no one.

I'm so curious to see what kind of expression you'll have while Hye Na dies in front of you.

How hard will you take it?

I'll show you how painful it is to become a mother.

My mom

killed a person and went to jail for me.

Also, another mom stood by my side and watched over me for 30 years.

That's why I'm here.

Because I know well what it means to become a child's mom.

It's locked.

If you watch Hye Na up until the moment she dies,

and if you endure all that suffering, I'll acknowledge

the fact that you've become this child's real mom.

Hye Na,

stand up.

I can see your mom.

I can see how your mom treated you.

Did she say that she was having a hard time because of you?

Did she say that she wanted to die?

So one day, did she try to choke you?

Say one more word, and you die first.

You, the young you,

are choking your mom to give her a hard time.

But you couldn't help it.

If you do, you'll just hate yourself more.

You'll just give yourself a harder time.

Mom.

My mother died because of me.

If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have lived that way.

She died so that she wouldn't kill me.

Do you think you can do that?

Do you think you could die in Hye Na's place?

You heard a noise, right?

- Yoon Bok! - Mom.

This is the police. This is the police! Come out here!

Is there no one here?

You go inside.

Put your weapon down.

Put your weapon down!

Lee Seol Ak! Lee Seol Ak!

- You call for a backup and wait here. - Okay.

Don't leave without me.

I told you not to leave without me.

Yoon Bok, I was very late, wasn't I?

Mom.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so late.

If you look behind you there's an emergency bag. Pack that first.

Suspect vehicle. Brown SUV. 45D 9328.

It must be heading Route #5 from the Chunchoo 3-way intersection. Please send support.

Seol Ak, you and I,

should we die together today?

No.

Your mom said that she's suffering so much that she wants to die,

but you want to survive, alone?

Can you live on your own without me?

Can you live without me?!

Don't cry. Why are you crying?

What gives you the right to cry?

If...

mom were to come back to life,

if she came back to life,

being clean,

being quiet,

never... never crying,

I could do all those thing so well.

I wanted to be a good kid, too.

Hurry!

I'm sorry. Ja Yeong.

Oppa?

What's the matter, Oppa?

The phone you've dialed is off so you will be connected to the answering machine.

You'll be charged after the beep.

Sin Ja Yeong. Sin Ja Yeong is home, right?

Please open your door.

We are here to arrest you for a child abduction.

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

Lee Seol Ak committed suicide at the crime scene.

- What about Hye Na? - It seems that Kang Soo Jin took her and ran.

Do you think they're alive?

There's evidence of tying them up, but no evidence was found for their being injured.

I got it. Look in every corner...

The suspect vehicle is found at the intersection.

It's on its way to Route #5. Send us support.

[Viki Ver] tvN E12 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Tonight, in a closed building in Chungcheong's Samcheong-dong,

a fire that's been suspected as arson was put out in 30 minutes.

At the scene, an 18-liter can of oil

and lighter which are thought to be the source of the fire, were lying around,

and 30-year-old Mr. Lee was found dead.

But Mr. Lee was the partner

of the missing elementary school's student's mother,

and police are investigating into the details of his death.

Jae Bum! What is the meaning of this?

So what happened to Soo Jin?

So that means that this case isn't simply a missing child case but a kidnapping case?

That's right. According to the information I found,

Muryeong, Gangwon Province police who were investigating the missing elementary school student,

received information that provided evidence to prove that this was a kidnapping

and through this, were able to figure out the prime suspect.

Has the personal identification of the suspect been revealed to the public?

This only thing we found so far is that the female suspect in her 30's used to work

at Muryeong elementary school.

Hyeon Jin.

What do I do? Will Unnie be alright?

What about Unnie? What's going on?

I reported it to the police.

That her mom and that mom's boyfriend have kidnapped Yoon Bok and

blackmailed us for money.

Are you saything that Hye Na's mother kidnapped the child and demanded ransom?

Currently, in order to capture the suspect that is on the run with Kim Hye Na,

the prosecution has placed a barricade around Choonchun, and

they are on emergency mode. They are putting their best effort.

Also, if early, they will turn this into a public investigation tomorrow.

They are going to reveal the personal identification of the suspect.

Where did Kang Soo Jin go?

I don't know.

I said where did Kang Soo Jin leave to?

I don't know.

If you are like this even if you know... Criminal Law 151-1, Harboring the criminal..

and Criminal Law 136-1, Obstruction of justice. You can get punished for those charges.

These are quite serious crimes, you know.

When I entered the basement, the man was trying to hang Yoon Bok, while having her stand on a chair.

Kang Soo Jin who was tied to another chair distracted him,

thanks to her, I hit the back of his head with something.

I was able to get out of there with Kang Soo Jin and Yoon Bok.

If Kang Soo Jin had not tracked and followed the man there,

if she had not acted properly when Yoon Bok was about to be hanged,

you would've found the dead body of Yoon Bok, Sir.

That's all the facts I know.

It's hard, right Yoon Bok? Do you want me to carry you?

Here.

Let's say Kang Soo Jin and Kim Hye Na are in this car.

We can guess that the suspect got off the car at a point between

A, where the car disappeared, and B, where the car was found again.

Right now, our people are searching for them at this region.

We've collected the cctvs and black boxes for analysis.

From Point A to B.. It's the opposite way of the car was heading originally.

This means that she knows the location well.

I mean, she already had a plan for where to get off the car.

She might have an acquaintance near there... Or she might have a good way to escape...

Is there a special characteristic in this region?

There is a typical apartment complex and a block full of diners and restaurants...

Well, there is nothing special about this place.

There are many green areas, I see.

This is an ordinary mountain with no hiking trails,

it will be tough for a woman and a child to enter at night.

There is nothing except for a temple. Simsim Temple (Profound Belief in Buddha)

A Buddhist temple.

Mom, I want to get down. It's hard, right?

No, I can go a bit further. It's okay.

It's like we are still in that story, isn't it?

That story of a boy and a girl wandering in the forest?

I thought the scariest part was over.

It seems as though there is no end.

Where are we going, Mom?

Do you hear this sound?

The police thought the child drowned in the sea, so they looked for her at the wharf.

The child turned out to be kidnapped by her homeroom teacher.

However, the child's biological mother's boyfriend committed suicide and was found dead.

The kidnapper is still on the run with the child.

Hey. What kind of connection is there?

Jang Hoon is at the site but he hasn't found the connection between those cases.

He said that there are policemen all over Choonchun to capture the kidnnaper.

Who is it?

The child's biological mother and her boyfriend kidnapped the child, demanding ransom.

Saying that if they don't get the money, they will harm the child.

Wait, wait. The biological mother asked the kidnapper for money?

- Isn't it the other way around? - How did you know?

I have an informant. It's from the kidnapper's family.

Can you write an article about this?

Here. It's written.

The missing Muryeong child's biological mother and her boyfriend have kidnapped the child from the kidnapper, demanding ransom.

On January 17, 2018, a child disappeared in Muryeong...

This is absurd.

- Are you certain that this information is accurate? - Yes.

If the information here is true, this article needs to be on the front page. Are you sure it's absolutely accurate?

I'm 100% sure.

Tell me.

What happened to my Oppa? You tell me that first!

Mrs... You are very unique.

Don't you wonder what happened to Hye Na in this situation?

San Yin Shan Xin Fu Temple (lit. Three Tones Heart of Mountain Transient Temple)

What brought you to this Buddhist sanctuary so late at night?

Let me stay for just one night, Su-nim. ( Abbot )

Although I don't know your situation,

we don't allow female followers of Buddha in our guestroom.

If I let a woman stay here for a night, rumors may rise.

I will bow 108 times (108 prostrations).

You told me that if I bow 108 times, you would let me stay overnight.

Twenty years ago you said the same thing.

Su-nim, let me stay for just one night.

Although I don't know your situation,

we don't allow a female follower of Buddha in our guest room.

Because rumors may rise..

I'm not a Buddhist nun. I'm just a high school student.

Why is a high school student coming here so late at night?

I want to become a monk.

When I was little, I grew up at an orphanage near here.

I heard the bell ringing every dawn.

Why do you want to become a monk?

I want to break ties.

From the mother who raised me and the mother who gave birth to me.

I want to live without any mothers.

Why do you want to do that?

Think carefully while bowing 108 times.

If you get tired, you can stay here overnight.

My child is asleep but I have nowhere to go.

I see you've become a mother.

Yes.

I've become a mother, Su-nim.

At our temple, we have two other monks and two male trainees.

They are all training in silence, so you need to be quiet, alright?

Have a breakfast in the morning before you leave.

No, thanks. I'm grateful to stay overnight.

The child needs to have a breakfast, though.

Our temple's food is really good, so many people come here to eat.

If you are grateful, there is a donation box in the Buddha hall. Just letting you know.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What is it, Yoon Bok? Did you have a nightmare?

It's okay.

It's a dream. I'm here. You are with Mom right now.

Everything's fine since you are with Mom.

Mom.

I had a dream of you dying.

Uncle chocked your neck but no one came.

So I was so sad.

I... I should've not called you to come to the place where Uncle was.

I should've not wanted to go to Iceland with you.

I should've not wished that Teacher were my mom.

I see, Yoon Bok.

But it's a relief, isn't it? I'm still alive.

That Yoon Bok told Mom where you were.

That Teacher became Mom. It's a relief, right?

Can I... cry?

Of course, Yoon Bok.

I will hold you. Let's cry.

I thought I was really dying then.

I tried to keep thinking of the things I like.

But nothing came across my mind

except your face.

What if Mom comes and see me dead?

What if she cries after she sees me dead?

Thinking of that,

it was so sad and scary.

So, I teared up.

Uncle told me he would kill me if I cry.

Elementary school student from Muryeong has been missing and her whereabouts are still unknown.

Do we have to go this far?

The suspect doesn't have an intention to harm the child.

How far do you think they can go? They will be captured soon.

I want to capture them alive.

When the weather is this cold, if they are found somewhere dead...

Excuse me for my intrusion.

Last night did you perhaps see a female who was accompanied by a child?

A female accompanied by a child?

Here.

Then, did any woman without a child come ask you to stay here overnight?

If I let a female Buddhist stay here overnight, there's always a rumor going around.

So, our temple only allows men to stay overnight.

May I speak with you?

Did you perhaps see a female accompanied by a child last night?

I didn't.

Did something happen?

I watched the news yesterday. That happened in this area.

So... They kidnapped the child from the kidnapper. But then, the kidnapper kidnapped the child again and ran away?

If that is so, are you the one capturing the criminal, Detective?

Yes.

You are here.

How do you like the food?

Many people come here because our temple's food is good.

Very delicious, Su-nim. Thank you.

If it's good... there is a donation box in the Buddhist Sanctuary, you know?

Then, I will be back. Please help yourselves.

Let's finish eating.

The head monk said he doesn't allow a woman to stay here, am I right?

Yes, that's right.

A woman stayed over at the guestroom once.

There were rumors about it, I hear.

Even if he says so... he lets women stay at the nicest room, doesn't he?

What are you saying? Let's eat.

For any chance, can I look at the room that the head monk lets women stay in?

This is it. As you can see, it's vacant.

Do you keep the heater on when it's vacant?

No. We never put the heater on this winter.

- Did you turn it on? - No, I didn't even touch it.

Where did the head monk go?

76U3475. He just left.

Get some more sleep.

You need sleep to continue the journey.

Thank you, Sir.

He just left but how come I don't see him?

Kyeongchun-ro, Dangrim #2 checkpoint. Found the suspect vehicle.

What about the child?

We are looking up the personal identification of every passenger.

What is it?

May I look at your ID?

She's coming! Coming!

Is it true that you asked the kidnapper for money?

Why did you do that?

How do you feel right now?

My Oppa Lee Seol Ak has done nothing wrong.

The kidnapper Kang Soo Jin killed Oppa.

Kang Soo Jin is actress Cha Yeong Sin's daughter!

Are you sure she's actress Cha Yeong Sin's daughter?

How did you know that she's Cha Yeong Sin's daughter?

Is it for sure? Tell us something!

Take a photo!

Madam, tell us!

Please say something!

Are you sure that she's actress Cha Yeong Sin's daughter?

How did you that she's Cha Yeong Sin's daughter?

Does Mrs. Cha Yeong Sin know about this?

The biological mother of Kim Hye Na was arrested without a warrant.

Take a picture!

Please say something!

The biological mother of the missing Muryeong child Kim Hye Na...

With her boyfriend, kidnapped the child and tried to get money out of it.

Mom, I'm deeply sorry.

Yesterday, I was out of my mind.

I was very angry so I reported it to the police.

I got it, Yi Jin. Be quiet.

Jae Beom.

Did you see the news?

I'm going to have a press conference.

You can't. We have to wait and see.

- Right now, it isn't- - If it was my problem, I would wait and see.

But I can't stand this.

When people talk about my Soo Jin as a criminal,

how can I just wait and see?

I will go out and tell them everything.

- Mom! - Noonim!

Mom.

Dr. Cho.

A female adult is riding together in the car

but there is no kid.

You're working hard.

She is the one who was in the car and her name is Monk Ja Hye.

Su-nim, where have you been from the early in the morning?

According to other monks, you don't usually leave the temple, I hear.

Oh, yes. I had to meet someone.

You mean Monk Ja Hye?

Yes.

Did she stay last night at the temple?

No.

Then, besides the monks and those trainees,

who else stayed at the temple last night?

The room heater was on.

The room you reserved for a woman visitor.

Su-nim, the only CCTV at the temple is broken, so we can't see.

You are the only one who would know if there were a visitor.

Who came last night?

Did these two come?

Can you tell us if they did, Su-nim?

Today is Mong Ja Hye's mother's death anniversary.

So I read the Buddhist texts all night and went out to meet her in the morning.

Twenty years ago, that person lived in that room with her daughter for a month

and they left after living in that room for a month.

So every anniversary, I would turn on the room heater.

Do you think I am overreacting too?

It's because you desperately want to catch them.

The situation isn't good. After the kid missing for a month

it is finally revealed as a kidnapping case, not an accidental death.

From the citizens' perspectives, it is absurd.

Everyone is saying that the first investigation initially went on a wild goose chase.

From the start, I knew it was kidnapping.

we did consider all those factors in our investigation, but you..

I know but people don't since they can't see the result.

And people from Cheonchon are complaining.

I was told you have been chasing the wrong suspect all morning.

I had my reasons.

Not for your own reasons. I want you to get solid evidence.

If you continue this way, I will have no other choice but to take action.

What action?

Some one has to take the responsibility.

If I don't see some result in few days, I am going to change investigators.

Ahhh... This is my case.

I've almost got them.

Show me the result. The result!

The suspect is Kang Soo Jin, she is 38 years old.

She has a lean body type that measures to 168 cm and is known to have short hair.

Her photo is displayed on the screen.

If you've seen this woman, please contact the police or our broadcast station.

Suspect Kang Soo Jin wanted

Mom. If you put that expression on, people will think something's off.

It feels like we are really heading abroad, doesn't it?

This is Soo Jin.

Are you coming to take the boat? There must be police officers all around the terminals and train stations.

How can a teacher kidnap her own student?

(The child's) Mom... could've had hit her child, you know.

Nam Hong Hee of Sam Hwa Barbershop. She has a previous conviction.

A murderer is helping a kidnapper run.

Location-track Nam Hong Hee.

For what time should we get ready?

By 4:30, come to Mayoungpo Port parking lot.

If we capture Kang Soo Jin today, Hye Na might have to go back to that woman.

Can't we just let Kang Soo Jin go?
