TWO DAYS BEFORE THE PUBLIC CONFESSION

[woman] That's what happened.

Yeah, that's right.

NO CALLER ID

WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME THIS?

[Yun-su] Do you know who sent the picture?

The question I needed to ask wasn't who sent that photo,

but why.

Why did they send me that picture as if it came from you?

[Yun-su] When Mo Eun confessed to killing Ki-dae

and I was released from prison,

someone must have started to feel anxious.

[uneasy music continues]

[gate door closes]

[car engine starting]

[camera shutter clicks]

[camera shutter clicks]

[Yun-su] But why kill Ko Se-hun, pretending to be me?

[thunder rumbling]

[camera shutter clicks]

[tense music playing]

[thunderclap]

[Yun-su] Ki-dae.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

[tense music continues]

[laughs]

[Ki-dae] Seriously?

[Young-in] Ms. An.

Mr. Jin, what are you doing here?

[music fades]

I teach at the university. What are you doing here though?

You're wanted by the police.

And Mr. Jang…

Poor man is so stressed out.

Did you come to see his paintings?

Yes.

There's something weird about that piece though.

What is it?

There's a print on it, and I'm not sure it belongs to my husband.

I could use your help.

Yes, of course.

[uneasy music playing]

Okay.

HONGSEO EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION DIRECTOR AND HONORED GUESTS ON OPENING DAY

[music intensifies]

Ms. An?

[music fades]

Uh…

It's fine.

There's no need to get into it right now.

Ms. An.

[tense music playing]

Ms. An!

[breathing heavily]

[ominous music sting]

[high-pitched mysterious music playing]

[thunderclap]

[dark, ominous music sting]

[high-pitched tone]

[eerie thrumming]

[mysterious music playing]

[Jeong-gu] I mean, I never imagined it'd be Jin Young-in.

I'd never read it… without permission.

[Yun-su] Why didn't he tell me he knew Ki-dae?

If he's the one who murdered him,

did he become Mo Eun's lawyer

just to get close to me?

What about Ko Se-hun, then?

How did he know about my deal with Mo Eun?

ONE DAY BEFORE THE PUBLIC CONFESSION

[mysterious music continues]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[Yun-su] Seo-won.

Yun-su.

Been a while.

[Seo-won] I'm sorry, you know.

I never thought for a moment that it was you.

I just kept hiding.

Did you work on the exhibition?

Yeah.

If you knew there was a fingerprint, why leave it?

I guess because it was his final piece.

It didn't feel right to touch it.

He told me the story. I know that fingerprint is yours.

It's not about that one.

There's another.

So you're saying you didn't leave the second one?

Think it could be the handlers?

There's no way they would do something to the piece and not clean it.

Have you seen this person before?

[intriguing music playing]

Yeah, I remember him.

The gallery opening.

Told me he was a law professor or something.

Why on earth should I be the one to apologize? Huh?

Look. Come on, is this something really worth all these calls and visits?

[exhales] This is getting nowhere.

[whispers] Who is it?

No, and don't contact me again.

-[disconnect tone] -Oh my God. I can't believe it.

Why are you so upset, honey?

Whatever.

I just pointed out that one of the paintings

that was donated was plagiarized,

and now this man suddenly won't stop calling me.

How does he get to be a law professor? I don't get it.

Just ignore the guy. Huh?

Is that the one?

[Ki-dae] Uh, yeah.

BEYOND SOKOBOAKO'S PLAGIARISM WILL THE TRUTH COME OUT?

[Seo-won] Ki-dae was getting harassed over the Sokoboako painting.

And it really

took a toll on him.

Do you mind if I borrow your car?

I admit that I killed my husband.

And at the detention center,

Mo Eun and I came to an arrangement that never should've happened.

[reporter] This afternoon, An, who had been indicted for murder,

sparked controversy when she abruptly released a video confession

on her personal YouTube channel.

In the video, she reiterated

that the investigation team ignored evidence,

pointing to the presence of a third party at the scene of Ko's murder.

[both sigh]

Is it true there's evidence?

[stirring music playing]

[sighs]

I'm not sure.

[gasps, exhales]

I was hoping for a more useful answer.

[sighs]

Is there something you could have missed?

Honey, don't you have access to the evidence?

[stirring music continues]

[music fades]

[Young-in] Yes, Mr. Jang.

[phone chimes]

SENDER KO SE-HUN

[Dong-uk] I have your daughter.

No replies. No calls. Just do exactly as you're told.

Follow instructions, and Sop won't get hurt.

[brooding music playing]

[Dong-uk] Don't contact anyone,

and don't get caught by the police either.

[inaudible dialogue]

[Dong-uk] Come meet your daughter by six o'clock.

Then I'll let her go unharmed.

[Yun-su breathes nervously]

[Dong-uk] It's the house with the blue door in Sarihyeon.

[music fades]

[Eun] Tell me.

Why did you hang yourself?

Because I was scared.

-[police radio beeps] -[officer] Requesting backup.

Child abduction in progress. The child's mother is An Yun-su,

currently wanted.

Suspect is Ko Dong-uk, and left the kindergarten driving north.

Send multiple units to both his primary residence

and his house in Sarihyeon.

I wonder if you'd do me a favor?

[unsettling music playing]

[gasping]

[grunts]

Don't be afraid, okay?

There's nothing to be scared of.

407.

What are you doing?

[music intensifies]

-Huh? -[music fades]

[gasps]

[high-pitched tone]

407!

407? [exhales]

Officer Kang, get help now!

407!

[chilling string music playing]

[Ms. Eom] 407!

[doctor] Get her to the OR. There's major abdominal bleeding.

[nurse] There's no available surgeon.

[doctor] Get an OR prepped and talk to anesthesiology.

Head to the waiting room, okay?

[music swells, subsides]

[monitor beeping]

[rustling]

[beeping grows faster]

[anesthesiologist] Huh?

-[tense music playing] -[gasps] What's going on?

[anesthesiologist whimpers]

[whimpering subsides]

Just breathe.

[tapping phone]

[phone line ringing]

[Ji-su] Yes, sir.

Did you manage to find anything?

Ko Dong-uk was caught on the kindergarten CCTV.

The child left holding his hand.

According to the kid who saw them, she said she was gonna go see her mom.

Ko brought a weapon with him, so I need you to make sure

all units are armed and proceed with caution.

Understood.

[disconnect tone]

A weapon? You're saying he's got a gun?

Has anybody seen Mr. Jin?

-What… What about him? -I thought you were working with him.

He walked out of the station with us, but then he went back inside.

Why do you ask about him?

[unsettling music playing]

There is no dashcam footage from that day.

An Yun-su was lying.

By the way,

I got rid of the footage from the day I met her at the gallery.

Oh, hi.

But she went back there alone, it turns out.

Are you looking at the footage?

Looks like she wanted to be on camera.

Also, there was a sketch of you among the evidence.

Are you sure of it?

Mm-hmm.

The fact that she went back there

and planted a sketch not listed in the evidence list

makes me feel like An Yun-su is testing us.

That old man.

He's blinded by revenge right now.

He's probably gonna act in our favor, don't you think?

Old guy might surprise us.

Don't worry too much.

[Jeong-gu] He never mentioned he knew Ms. An's husband. Not once.

He never felt suspicious to you?

Not at all.

He seemed like a good person.

He came to the NFS with me

and made sure that Mo Eun and Ms. An could communicate.

In that case, he was able to keep an eye

on everything Mo Eun or An Yun-su were up to.

Actually, An Yun-su came to my office.

Are you serious?

[paper rustling]

[car alarm beeps]

[Yun-su] Please add this sketch to the evidence.

I'll explain later.

I know I'm putting you in a tough spot.

I'm sorry.

[unsettling music continues]

[mysterious music playing]

[Sun-deok] I don't know if it was the right thing to do,

but I did it because I've also had so many questions

about this case, you know?

This is the sketch.

[Jeong-gu] Oh?

That woman?

You've seen her before?

She's Jin's spouse.

I don't want to intrude, but, Mr. Jang,

-Sop has gone missing. -[Jeong-gu] What?

[Sun-deok] They're saying she's been kidnapped.

A kid saw it happen.

Then what if the reason Ms. An went public,

talking about how the police had all this evidence,

was just a scheme to lure him in?

[Detective Bae] Sir!

Ko Dong-uk's vehicle has been found

one kilometer from the Sarihyeon redevelopment area.

[Dong-hun] Team One, head there now.

-Mr. Jang, with me. -Where are we going?

[Detective Bae] I'll tell Baek.

I…

I stabbed her.

You can't lie to me, all right?

Now look at me, will you?

What was that all about?

You know what she's up to.

[uneasy music playing]

[Eun] I wonder if you'd do me a favor.

Tell them that I kept you alive so I could kill you myself.

She said that I'm…

[breathing shakily]

…still alive so she could kill me herself.

[Ms. Eom] Stop lying!

[Eun] Tell them I just tried to kill you, and that's why you stabbed me.

Then you'll be fine.

I had to stab her first.

It's the truth.

[exhales sharply]

[tense ethereal music playing]

[dog barking]

[barking continues]

[tense ethereal music continues]

Where is she?

Let's go inside.

[Yun-su] Sop!

-Baby? -[door slams]

Sop, where is she?

[music intensifies]

Baby! [gasps]

She's sleeping.

-[Yun-su sniffles] -There.

Sit in that chair.

I'm not the one who killed Se-hun. [gasps]

Take a seat.

This is the house Se-hun used to live in when he was little.

Right here.

He used to follow me around like a little dog.

[sniffles]

If you kill me,

you'll never find who really murdered Se-hun.

[Dong-hun] It's the one with the blue door.

Okay then, let's hope she's there.

They'll be there. I'm sure of it.

[thrumming tense music playing]

-[Se-hun whimpers] -[Yun-su] You have to…

For us to live, you have to die.

[Yun-su breathing shakily]

[Se-hun groans] Don't do it.

-Please don't kill me. -[Yun-su whimpers]

[Se-hun] I'm sorry.

I mean it.

[Yun-su groaning]

How did…

[doorbell rings]

[music intensifies]

[music subsides]

[Young-in] I had no idea the two women had made a deal like that.

If I had known,

I could have stopped An Yun-su from killing Ko Se-hun.

From now on, I'm gonna set things right.

We have to get justice for Se-hun.

There's still a lot of evidence to uncover,

and I won't be able to do it without your help, sir.

[suspenseful music playing]

[connect tone]

[phone buzzing]

-[teacher 1] Let's go, Sop. -[Sop] Okay.

[boy 1] I'm gonna find you now.

-There! -[teacher 2] Oh, you got me!

[boy 2] Green light. Red light! [growls]

You moved. I saw you.

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone buzzes]

[eerie tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music subsides]

[Dong-uk] You're wasting your breath.

And I'm running out of patience.

[suspenseful music resumes]

If you wanna protect your child,

I suggest you start telling the truth.

That night, you were with him.

That's what I know.

If there's another bastard involved,

I'll just find them and make sure I kill them too.

Can you please release my daughter?

[Yun-su breathing shakily]

I'm begging you, please.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Jeong-gu] Hold on.

I think this is it.

[music swells]

-[door lock clicks] -[suspenseful music resumes]

Sop. Wake up, baby.

Sop. Sop.

Oh God.

-[Dong-hun] Anything upstairs? -There's no one here.

[sighs] For Christ's sake.

[footsteps pattering]

[Eun] Do you remember?

We used to be neighbors.

[dramatic tense music playing]

-Mr. Jang, you go that way. -I'll call you.

[Yun-su whimpers]

-[suspenseful music resumes] -[breathing shakily]

[Eun] This house with the blue door.

People used to call it "the colonel's place."

[rifle cocks]

[footsteps scurrying]

[rifle cocks]

[rifle clicks]

I'm glad you came.

That way, I get to kill two birds with one stone.

[tense music playing]

[Eun] What Se-hun got was divine punishment.

Sometimes people commit an act so vile,

they have to die.

[both grunt]

[Dong-uk straining]

[Eun grunts]

[Dong-uk groans]

[Dong-uk grunting]

[Eun groaning]

[distant siren wailing]

[officer 1] We've arrived in the Sarihyeon area.

It is vast, so we'll be splitting the team to cover more ground.

-Report to your locations. -Search this place.

-Yes, sir. -Right away.

[Ji-su] Here we go.

An Yun-su isn't the one who killed Ko Se-hun.

[siren continues]

Shit.

[sighs]

Looks like the cavalry has arrived.

It's okay.

Yes, I'm about to reach the last alley. I'll check it, and then I'll head back.

Okay.

[siren fades]

[sighs]

Sop. Come here.

[phone buzzing]

DETECTIVE RYU JI-SU

You got scared today, huh? I'm sorry.

There's one more thing Mommy needs to take care of.

All right? I'll be back, okay?

The man that you see over there?

He's gonna keep you safe.

[melancholy music playing]

I really mean it this time.

I promise.

You're so brave, honey.

[phone buzzing]

Detective Ryu. I found Sop.

Yes, in that last alley.

Hi.

Ready?

[Jeong-gu] Hey, Sop.

-[connect tone] -[phone line ringing]

Old geezer couldn't do it, and then Mo Eun showed up.

[screams] Damn it!

[eerie music playing]

She came out of nowhere and ruined everything.

[woman] What do you mean Mo Eun was there?

That doesn't really make any sense.

Not sure why they would help each other.

[chuckles]

It's fine though.

Looks like we'll just do it on our own.

Babe?

How are you?

Is everything fine?

[pensive music playing]

[music fades]

[car door closes]

[panting]

[grunts]

[Pudgy] Okay, come on out!

[truck door opens]

[truck door closes]

[Pudgy] Yun-su, have some coffee.

If the cops ever track you down,

just say we threatened you and made you do it.

[Pudgy] What?

I appreciate it.

[Pudgy] Yun-su.

[car door closes]

I packed a lot for someone who says she wants to die.

[Eun sighs]

[Yun-su] Are you all right?

Is Mo Eun even your real name?

Kang So-hae.

That's my real name.

Mo Eun is a name that was gifted to me.

[soaring string music playing]

[Eun] Are you okay?

[labored breathing]

Someone, please help me.

A spider bit you?

[labored breathing]

[Momo gasps]

[whimpering]

Just trust me and close your eyes.

[Momo whimpers]

[woman] Yeah. Right here. It's okay.

[indistinct chattering]

[woman] The view is absolutely breathtaking.

This is the only place where I get a signal.

I gotta wait here until my sister video calls me.

[gentle music playing]

I appreciate it.

You got nowhere to go.

And we always need people here.

I think you should stay.

Really? Can I stay?

[chuckles]

Of course.

[indistinct chattering]

[music fades]

…the spread of the virus, particularly new variants

detected in neighboring countries.

I'm sorry.

[loud clattering]

[stirring string music playing]

[monitor beeping]

[coughing]

So-hae.

Please.

Will you do what I asked now?

Otherwise, I

won't be able to close my eyes.

How do you want to die?

26 KM TO THE MYANMAR - THAILAND BORDER

[music fades]

[melancholy music playing]

[Momo] I had no family

and absolutely nowhere to go.

I was just drifting, completely aimless, when I met you in Thailand.

The two years we shared

were the happiest of my life.

It was the first time

that I realized I could be loved by someone too.

[lighter lid closes]

You've given me so much, So-hae.

I wish I could give you something in return…

but I don't have much to offer.

So if using me gets you closer to your revenge,

then please do so.

The last words she ever spoke to me.

[music fades]

But why did you help me? I didn't kill Ko Se-hun.

Now that you mention it…

I wonder.

[stirring music playing]

[Eun] You confessed to killing your husband.

How will you disprove that without any evidence?

[Yun-su] I know there's evidence

out there somewhere.

And we're on our way to find it.
