Tell-tales should have their mouths ripped out.

Please...

Please let me go!

While I'd like to have more fun with you, I'm afraid I can't.

Because we have our own rules, you see.

And that is never to...

spare those who know us.

So you're saying that this Circus Man

is approaching a fictional character concocted by Agent Han?

Please...

You must've risked your life at least,

when you tried to flee from us, right?

I'll make it a painful death,

especially for you.

Young Master, it's me.

- Young Master. - Why, why, why!

Why that damned bastard...

Don't make Dongbang Min come out.

Don't make him come out, all right?

Oh what?

Not again.

Young Master, it's me.

Yes, I'm coming.

Yes, what...

What is it? Did something happen?

The stone figure for the festival is damaged.

I think the children toppled it over while playing with it.

The elders will be livid if they learn this. What do we do?

Let's go, then. I'll go grab my car key.

Young Master, let's take my car.

Weren't you with someone, though?

I thought I heard you talk to someone.

No, I was home all alone.

Oh. I must've heard it wrong, then.

You must be tired from preparing for the festival.

Take it easy, all right?

Young Master, I think you have a new message.

Pardon? Oh.

(Circus Pierrot Game Community Alert)

(Candidate for prey no.4 found: Angry Maeng Ji-hoon)

What is this?

Why, what is it?

I think it's a spam text.

Goodness. Are you all right, Young Master?

Yes, I've been having these headaches lately.

I'm sure they'll go away in due time.

You think it's Circus Man who approached your character?

Yes.

Here.

Here you go.

(KILL4U: I believe Ms. Police here may be able to help you...)

(What do you say?)

The ID of the user in question is KILL4U,

and the account is private.

They're currently online now,

so we're tracking him down as we speak.

I only checked their message but haven't replied them yet.

- What should I do? - Send them a reply.

It's clear they tried to groom you.

Yes, sir.

(Angry: Why would you even be here if you were a real cop?)

(KILL4U: Just offering to help you out, but if you don't want to... fine)

(Angry: Fine, send me pics for proof!)

(KILL4U: Will this do? I hate my ***ing mother, too,)

(so I know very well how you feel)

They're very familiar with the language of teenagers.

They probably came here every day to scour for prey.

Their tactics are clearly similar to the Circus Man's.

Yes!

I got their IP address.

What's the address?

They have guts to not route via VPN.

It's the Style PC Cafe located at 40 Wonsang-gil, Wonsang-gu.

The same village that Dare PC Cafe is at,

where your e-mail threats were tracked to.

Here's the IP address.

But this is just too easy.

We'll know once we're there.

Keep talking to them to buy us time until we're there.

Yes, sir.

Chad, we have the location of whom we suspect to be Circus Man,

so head immediately to Style PC Cafe on Wonsang-gil, Vimo.

I'm on my way there now, too.

Let's go.

Dae-shik, let's go!

(KILL4U: Yes... you're just as good as your brother)

Write as if you've accumulated great anger towards your mother.

Yes, ma'am.

(KILL4U: We should teach her not to discriminate, shouldn't we?)

They're asking for your weapon of choice.

Make some suggestions, and say you have Christmas lights, too.

Yes, ma'am.

(KILL4U: You're pretty eager! So, what's available?)

(Angry: I've some ropes and masking tape)

(Oh! There are also Christmas lights in the storage, too)

(KILL4U: Christmas lights? That doesn't sound bad)

Perhaps... this really may be him.

Just who are you?

And why are you using children in such a cruel way?

And why are you using children in such a cruel way? This is Dispatch 3. Any info on Style PC Cafe yet?

This is Dispatch 3. Any info on Style PC Cafe yet?

(Business License Name: Style PC Cafe)

It's located on the second floor of Dongmyeong Building,

and there are just two exits, the front and the back doors.

Captain.

Detective Park and Detective Shim, we're going in through the front.

Detective Koo, you take the back door with Chad.

(So where do you live? And what department were you at?)

Who the hell are you?

Police.

We're after someone.

Which is the PC with this IP address?

Hold on.

Uh... here. PC number 27.

Don't move! Hands above your head!

- Are you sure it's this one? - Yes, I'm sure.

- What is this? - Young lady.

Have you been here the entire time?

(KILL4U: I'm a former cop, so I would know)

She is KILL4U.

But her build is different to the Circus Man I saw.

She's not the Circus Man we're after.

This is driving me crazy!

Geez, you scared us, kiddo.

What's in that head of yours to write such vicious words, huh?

My, my.

What were you trying to do anyway, pulling such a prank?

What? What did I do, exactly?

This is teenage culture, all right?

What an uptight boomer, ugh.

Uptight?

Sure, I'll tell you what uptight really means, kiddo.

Do you know what happens if you scam people like that online?

You can be sued for fraud!

What you're doing right now is a crime, all right?

Your name. And your RRN, too.

Shut up.

Hurry up!

If you fail to respond when the police asks for your ID,

you may be liable for punishment.

- Kwon Saet-byul. - What?

- Kwon Saet-byul, I said. - Your RRN?

040725...

4395671.

This is Dispatch 1.

Look up Kwon Saet-byul for me, her RRN is 040725-4395671.

Yes, sir.

Detective Park, I have Kwon Saet-byul's profile

and her criminal record.

She's 18 years old, and was adopted when she was four years old.

Three months ago, she was put in detention

for juvenile adjudications.

She'd extorted money from users at online communities

for teenagers and early-20s.

According to her testimony, she had no choice but to run away

from home due to continued abuse from her adopted parents.

However, all charges of abuse against them were dropped.

The reason being, her parents were cooperative with the police

and had cleared up all suspicions.

Tsk, you're still so young, too.

What are we going to do with you?

Just shut up, if you know nothing!

If you're not going to give me money, then just shut up!

Because I'm about to lose it.

I don't believe this kid!

What are your parents' contact details?

Pardon?

I said, what are your parents' contact details?

No... no!

I'll rather go to prison instead.

If I go home again, that bastard will...

- What is it? - Agent Park.

The contact details of Kwon Saet-byul's guardian, please.

I said, no!

If you send me to that bastard, I'm going to kill myself.

She clearly says no, so let's not force her.

Is there a temporary shelter for her anywhere?

But the regulations...

She says she doesn't want to!

Contact the care team. I'm sure you have one in Korea, too.

Yes, I'll go there instead.

Just don’t send me home, please?

Yes, all right.

All right, so calm down.

Were there any other users on that community

who approached you, saying they're a female officer?

Their ID is probably Circus Man, or similar.

No.

Looks like we're done here, so let's go.

Sure...

I'm sorry.

I should've been more cautious.

Man, this is so embarrassing.

No, you'll see this happen a lot.

But now that you're on our team,

you mustn't give up, but track them down all the way to the end.

Yes, ma'am.

That's right. Were you able to find out who owns the community?

No, not yet.

Since it's on the dark web, security is pretty tight.

Our care team will be here soon, so please look after her until then.

Yes, sir.

Be a good at the shelter, now.

And tell them about all that you'd been through, all right?

Why don't you wait in the car?

(Pigdiss)

(Kwon Saet-byul, you scammer! Answer me)

(I already sent your photo to some gangs I know)

(You're finished now)

Young Master, thank you for coming all the way here for us.

I know you're extremely busy...

Oh no, it's fine.

Goodness, you did a nice job cutting off its arm!

How did this happen?

Well, they dropped it while playing hide-and-seek...

Oh.

The Village Chief will be livid if he learns this.

It's all right.

I'll fix this before he does.

This is something I made anyway,

so I have my know-hows.

This is your first time seeing me fix this, huh?

Let me fix it up real quick.

Here. All done!

It's as good as new, huh?

I used much tougher strings,

so they can play with it all they want.

I'll never forget your grace, Young Master.

Grace? Come on, don't say that.

Here.

Are you trying to deceive all of us

after breaking the sacred offering to the great Lord?

I'm sorry, sir! It was my mistake.

- Please punish me. - Punish us!

Punish us, sir!

Come on, Grandpa. You'll make the kids cry.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Don't whip that out in front of family, now.

I fixed it all up anyway, so let's overlook this. Please?

No, sir. Once you start making exceptions...

That festival.

It's for our village, Sonang-chon, is it not?

We can't have someone cry when we should all be rejoicing.

Especially our children.

You do have a point, Min.

Let's pretend this never happened,

since we do have a celebration to look forward to tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Children,

these stones bear the spirit of Sonang-chon.

They must be handled with care.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

You're all right to go now.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir!

Let's go.

Ah, Byung-cheol.

You go ahead first, too.

There's something I need to discuss with Min.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry for being stubborn, when I know there are rules.

Who can ever convince you otherwise, eh?

By the way, I heard you were at the Police Agency last night.

Ah, yes.

Apparently, some murderer has sneaked in here,

disguised as a woman. They wanted my advice,

so I told them all that I know.

Don't mingle with the mainlanders for the time being.

Look what happened to that Prosecutor Gong's daughter!

It's left to us to protect

this island and Sonang-chon.

It's all Soo-chul's fault.

Tell him if he does that one more time, I'm really filing for divorce.

Mi-yeon, I know he's not the best husband or father,

but perhaps it's time you come home and...

Dad, what are you talking about?

Can't you see my Seo-ha?

The doctors said they need to amputate her legs,

but look.

She's walking now, on crutches.

At the upcoming festival, they'll have all the girls stay the night

at the stone house as a ritual of rebirth and renewal.

I begged them to include Seo-ha, even if she's still too young.

Who knows?

She may just be cured and walk out on her two feet.

What is it, Dad?

Mi-yeon, if prayers could cure her,

all the hospitals will be shutting down!

I suggested Sonang-chon for your peace of mind,

and not to hope for a miracle.

I know it's tradition, but overly relying on superstition is...

Superstition?

What are you talking about, after all this time?

And besides, what if it's a superstition?

I'd gladly do anything

if I can see my child walk again.

So say something like that one more time,

and I won't see you again, even if you're my father.

Seo-ha, let's go.

(Masonry Workshop)

What's important here is that my mother's death was a homicide,

and that someone in a raincoat had forcibly carved

a swirl-shaped tattoo on her wrist.

Who's there?

Oh, it's me.

Geez, you scared me.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was just passing by and the lights were on, so...

Well, this is nice.

I'll get going then. Take care.

You want to be assigned to the dispatch team?

I've been considering it for quite some time.

I think the experience of helping the victims at the scene

will help me immensely once I return to the control room.

But Agent Park,

it can get tough in the dispatch team. Will you be okay with it?

I'll have to overcome it.

And I'm serious about this.

All right, I'll ask the Commissioner for an official order.

But promise me one thing.

That no matter how tough it gets,

you won't give up.

Yes, I'll remember that.

You should stay at the hotel where it's more comfortable.

There's no time.

The Circus Man will definitely try and approach Director Kang.

The best thing I can do for now is to stay close to her.

All right, Captain.

Call me anytime for help.

All right.

I'll only be here for a week, so bear with me.

Do you always just make announcements?

It's important to set principles,

so everyone knows where to draw the line.

Oh, and I noticed you don’t look at the person you talk to.

Is that a habit of yours, or...

Everyone has one or two problems, don't they?

I heard...

about your sister.

These are sleeping pills I take.

If you need them, they're here.

I can take care of myself fine.

Sorry. Sorry!

I'm sorry. Sorry, Dad...

Dad, it's all my fault.

Yeah, if you had been like that from the beginning,

I wouldn't have had to hit you like this.

I'm just trying to raise you as a good American.

Not a weak little Asian whom people will kick around!

Now, bring your sister Lisa here. Right now.

That little girl doesn't listen to a word I say.

If you do that, I'll let you go to have a nice dinner.

Do you understand?

Do you understand!

And go.

Go!

Once upon a time,

a mother was living happily together

with her 500 children.

Then one day, a huge famine hit the village

and there was simply nothing left to eat!

So the mother scraped together all the loose grains of rice,

and took out of a huge pot.

She made porridge in that huge pot as she waited for her children.

But then she slipped and fell into the pot!

Splash!

Ah! It's hot!

Help! Somebody help me!

The children returned home, and looked for their mother.

Huh? Where did Mom go?

But they were so hungry that

they gobbled down the congee in the pot.

Then the youngest child discovered their mother's hairpin in the pot.

"Huh? This is Mom's hairpin...

Mother, we're sorry.

We ate all that porridge, not realizing it was you."

Please...

let me go.

If you'll let me go, I'll do whatever you say.

You've no idea how sweet

that frightened look of yours is, do you?

So, what do you think is the moral of the story?

If you guess correctly, I'll let you go.

What are you on about, all of a sudden?

Is it money that you want? Then tell me.

My father's rich, so he'll pay whatever my ransom.

We've a ton of money ourselves.

I said I'll let you go if you guess correctly!

So...

what do you think is the moral of the story?

What?

You think you'll get away with this?

My father's a prosecutor!

He'll track you down and kill you, all right?

The answer is deceit.

If they need to, humans will kill

their own children for their benefit,

and it's the same with your father.

Don't you think it's sickening to remain stuck like this

over something that doesn't even mean much?

I beg of you, O Lord of the Sea.

Please take pity on them and forgive their sins.

I beg of you, O Lord of the Sea.

Please help us.

Please help me to see the future again.

I beg of you, O Lord of the Sea.

A young flame has been extinguished.

It's drawing near...

The monster that will swallow up Sonang-chon!

Hey, where are you?

Don't go. Don't go, please!

Angry.

It's the prey from before.

I thought we'd lost it because of that idiot, Dongbang Min.

Wait.

Something's not quite right here.

Hold on, let me look into this.

(Angry: Don't we need something to tie her up with?)

(I want to do it ASAP, so when?)

(KILL4U: Christmas lights? That doesn't sound bad)

(So where do you live?)

Angry is a police officer.

Did they take us for an idiot?

What, Christmas lights? Out of the blue?

This is a trap.

The police, you say?

How dare they lay a trap!

I just lost face as the president of the Golden Time Team fan club.

How could I make such a mistake on my first mission?

Get a grip on yourself, Woo-joo.

Otherwise you may be fired.

(New message)

What the...

(CCman: Seeking to trade premium badge)

CCman?

It's similar to "Circus Man..."

No way.

They're only after a rare item.

Should I report this?

Nah.

If it's another false alarm, I'll be kicked out for sure.

Let's first see if they're the real deal.

(Go ahead and make an offer first)

(Reasons for Disciplinary Action)

According to my findings, there's not just one or two cases

the police overlooked thanks to their cozy relationship.

But Sonang-chon and Dongbang Heon-yeob

have a sound reputation.

They even corrected ex-convicts who settled there.

I don't believe in excessive good.

There's something fishy about that Dongbang Min, too.

Let me meet with him later.

I'll be able to tell right away whether he's Circus Man or not,

once I hear his voice.

That must be it.

You want to meet with Mr. Koo Hyung-tae's family?

(Stone Culture Village, Sonang-chon, Hyojin-dong)

May I first ask why you want to see them?

We simply want to ask him a few questions.

I'm sorry to tell you,

but his family's condition deteriorated,

so we sent them to a hospital on the mainland.

May we take a look around?

Of course, Sonang-chon is open to anyone.

Let me show you the way.

This is the museum that's due to open soon.

Follow me.

This is our commune.

If you'll follow me, please.

This is something we sweated many decades to build.

I'm sure you all remember.

- In our village, the first... - What is that?

We listen to the Village Chief's good words every morning.

So what was my first lesson?

All families must be exonerated for happiness.

Yes, yes.

He must be Dongbang Heon-yeob.

Only when we free ourselves from the worldly restraints of kinship,

may we all finally become a family.

And that is the spirit of Sonang-chon.

You think he actually means those words?

(Call (Connected))

Hello, this is the 112 Emergency Center...

What? One of your students has been kidnapped?

At an unmanned motel?

(Location identified)

Agent Cheon, our caller is Jang Hyo-joon, aged 35 years old.

According to our tracking system, he's currently located at

Vimo Beach Unmanned Motel on 25, Sangyeon-ro, Sangyeon-gu.

Yes, Chief Cheon.

Director Kang, we just received a call from a high school teacher

who suspects one of his students has been kidnapped.

The location is an unmanned motel in Sangyeon-dong.

He says he even received a photo of the student

in a clown costume under blackmail.

I'm on my way now.

There's been a kidnapping in Sangyeon-dong.

I need you to head out.

Sangyeon-dong? One moment.

Sangyeon-dong... That's in the opposite direction.

You go ahead first, I'll join you later.

Chad.

This is Director Kang. Chief Cheon,

brief me on the situation one more time.

Our caller is Jang Hyo-joon, aged 35 years old.

He's a teacher at Suan High School.

The victim is a sophomore student. Her name is Kwon Saet-byul.

She's the girl from the Internet cafe last night.

It appears she fled on her way to the center,

after requesting a toilet break.

(Vimo Beach Unmanned Motel)

Saet-byul!

Saet-byul, it's Mr. Jang.

If you're here, answer me. Saet-byul!

Who the hell are you? Are you crazy?

What the hell are you doing?

Saet-byul...

- Saet-byul! - What the hell?

- We don't take minors. - Let go of me!

One of my students was kidnapped and is confined here!

I even got a message!

It's none of my business.

Look, please. Open the door!

Can you connect me to Mr. Jang?

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Jang, this is Director Kang from Vimo Agency.

Please fill me on the details

so we can help you.

Hello, I'm an English teacher at Suan High School,

and Saet-byul's homeroom teacher.

How did your student end up being confined there?

I'd been keeping an eye on Saet-byul

because she was being abused by her adopted parents.

A few days ago, she'd run away from home again.

What are you doing?

- What? - Why are you so startled?

You missed school for three days straight.

I went running around everywhere looking for you, kid.

Mr. Jang, do you have money?

Money?

Actually, just forget it.

Did you stepfather...

Just mind your own, will you? It's none of your business.

This won't do. Let's report him.

No, just leave it.

If you call the police, I'm never seeing you again.

(Kwon Saet-byul, you scammer! Answer me)

What is this?

Just mind your own.

Saet-byul. Saet-byul!

It looked like she was being blackmailed by bullies.

Children who are abused by their parents

are often pushed around by others,

because they're hungry for affection.

Where are you?

You said you're going to class. Why aren't you here?

Mr. Jang.

We received another complaint.

I told you, didn't I? That you must stop favoring students.

There are disgraceful rumors, too.

Teach, listen to me.

Please don't tell the police,

but come to Vimo Beach... Unmanned Motel now.

I ran away from home a few days ago

and was in desperate need of money,

so I scammed someone, pretending to be the police.

But he must've been a member of some gang!

He says he'll let me go if you pay him back for me.

Else he'll sell me off somewhere.

Please come help me, Mr. Jang.

(Kwon Saet-byul)

Your call cannot be connected at this time. Please leave...

Let's talk about this later.

I came alone,

in case reporting this to the police would put her in danger.

But I couldn't find her anywhere, so that's why I'm calling now.

Something must've happened to Saet-byul!

Why had they asked for her teacher?

If what they were after was money, they'd have called her parents.

Are Saet-byul's parents aware of this?

- Why don't I contact... - No.

Those people had been abusing her for a long time.

Just please hurry.

All right.

Then can you send me the photo and the voice message

from Saet-byul to us on 112?

I just sent them to you now.

Agent Han, forward me the photo and the voice message

that you just received from our caller.

And see if Saet-byul had received any other blackmail recently.

- Be on standby at the control room. - Yes, ma'am.

Agent Koh, get me Saet-byul's parents' profiles

and see whether they were ever reported for child abuse.

Yes, ma'am.

(I am a fraud)

(Waiver of Physical Rights)

Kwon Saet-byul's TeleNote account

better be under the same ID and password

as her Circus Pierrot one.

It worked!

Director Kang, I just confirmed she had been blackmailed.

Three days ago, she scammed a user with the ID, Pigdiss,

which turned out to be a big mistake.

I'll send you the details of her TeleNote history.

All right. Track down Pigdiss' profile,

and see whether he has ties with Circus Man.

Yes, ma'am.

Pigdiss...

Director Kang, I just sent you the profile of

Kwon Saet-byul's adopted parents.

But the father is a lawyer,

and the mother is a professor in child welfare

so all charges were dropped.

They didn't even have a speeding ticket in their history.

- Let me check. - Yes, ma'am.

(Adopted Kwon Saet-byul in 2007)

From the papers alone, Saet-byul is the delinquent.

Then there was the incident from last night, too.

Agent Koh, find out all you can about Jang Hyo-joon.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am. We have a code zero case.

We have a code zero case.

(11:30 AM Kwon Saet-byul Is Kidnapped)

Our caller is Jang Hyo-joon, 35 years old,

who is an English teacher at Suan High School.

He's received a voice message saying that one of his students,

Ms. Kwon Saet-byul, was kidnapped and is confined at

Vimo Beach Motel on 25, Sangyeon-ro, Sangyeon-gu.

We've also received a photo detailing the situation.

While we're yet to identify the offender,

they may be blackmailing the victim and exerting physical violence.

All officers are to head out in a stab-proof vest.

Please practice caution at the scene.

All dispatch teams heading out now.

Detective Cho, the Dispatch Team is on their way now.

All right, I'm heading there now.

Let's hurry.

(Vimo Beach Unmanned Motel)

Sir, please open the door! Sir, please!

Sir... sir!

You head back and find out all that you can about

- Dongbang Min and Sonang-chon. - Yes, Captain.

- Saet-byul! - Mr. Jang?

I'm Detective Derek Cho from the Golden Time Team.

Are you sure Ms. Kwon Saet-byul is being held captive here?

Yes. There's no time, please save Saet-byul.

- Detective Cho. - Ah, there you are.

There are no high school students at our motel.

I received a message!

We're going in now.

Detective Cho.

I heard the victim is Saet-byul, the girl we saw last night.

- Yes. - Oh man...

Are you sure you looked everywhere?

There's nothing that you missed?

Yes, I'm telling you.

This couple here were our last guests.

See that?

We only have five rooms that are taken.

The girl you're looking for never came here, all right?

I think we should search all the rooms ourselves.

Detectives Koo and Park, and Agent Park. Take the second floor.

Detective Shim and I will take the third floor.

- Guard the entrance. - Yes, sir.

Leave it to us.

Check that side.

- Open up! - Yes.

Police.

Have you ever seen this person?

No, we haven't.

There's no one here.

Is anyone there? Police.

Please open up, we're on a search.

What's with this place today?

Police. Let me take a look.

I'm sorry. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sorry.

Agent Han, how's the progress with Pigdiss?

I managed to get a hold of his TeleNote ID,

but he'd set up his account using a fake email address.

All the VPN routing he used is extremely fishy, too.

Anyway, I'll keep tracking him down.

I'm sure I heard of this somewhere.

Director Kang, about what you just instructed.

Mr. Jang has several records of penalties for

professional misconduct at his previous school,

which were then cancelled again.

- Bring it up on screen. - Yes, ma'am.

(Disciplinary Records for Teaching Staff)

Yes.

Mr. Jang, this is Director Kang. I believe we just spoke earlier.

I have some questions.

It looks like you were penalized on several charges

at the previous school you were at, including receiving bribes.

What has that got to do with this?

Well, according to our records, all charges of child abuse

against Ms. Kwon Saet-byul's parents were dropped.

Is this the rumors about me taking bribes from the parents

and having an affair with my colleague, again?

It's been some time already since all suspicions were cleared!

Why not use your time to save Saet-byul instead?

Hello?

Are you the mother of Ms. Kwon Saet-byul?

This is Kang Kwon-joo from Vimo Agency.

Your daughter has sent a message to her homeroom teacher

that she's being physically assaulted,

so the police are on the search for her now.

Was this teacher Mr. Jang?

Oh gosh, not him again.

Was there a similar case before?

Yes! Saet-byul's been saying she has bruises everywhere

because we beat her, right? It's just atopic eczema.

If she hasn't had enough scamming and running away from home...

He's only fuelling her to become a delinquent!

Let me tell you, he's not someone who should be teaching kids!

Saet-byul will come back home in due time.

Ma'am.

Director Kang, Kwon Saet-byul's phone was just powered on.

This is the control room. Kwon Saet-byul's phone

was just turned on, and we have her location.

She's five minutes away from the unmanned motel.

Mr. Jang, Saet-byul's phone was turned back on again,

and apparently it was at Sangyeonhaean-ro.

Is it true Saet-byul's bruises are really from her atopic eczema?

Did you call her adopted parents just now?

I told you not to call them!

What do you take my words for?

Let's discuss this after we find Saet-byul.

And if it's true that they were abusing her,

we'll investigate it thoroughly and see them punished.

You guys are all talk, always!

You don't care whether someone's withering to death!

Forget it.

What's with him?

I feel like I'm talking to a wall!

Let's go.

Let me search the area around here a little more.

I'll stay back with Detective Cho.

All right, then. Us two will go down to the beach,

so you three stay here.

- Yes. - Let's go.

Please don't tell the police,

but come to Vimo Beach... Unmanned Motel now.

Mr. Jang Hyo-joon is right.

Her eyes, and her voice... they clearly indicate fear.

Then why did she get the name of the motel wrong?

Have you seen this person?

I haven't seen her, no.

This is Dispatch 1. Director Kang,

someone had discarded Kwon Saet-byul's phone in the trash can.

Some students had turned it on to return it back to the owner.

Return to the motel, now.

If someone had discarded her phone on purpose,

this signals Saet-byul is in real danger.

Mr. Jang, listen to me carefully.

Please don't tell the police,

but come to Vimo Beach... Unmanned Motel now.

What's this? She's tensed up

after saying the word, "Beach."

Listen to me carefully.

Please don't tell the police,

but come to Vimo Beach... Unmanned Motel now.

What Saet-byul had said was...

Vimo Beach Queen Unmanned Motel.

She'd pronounced just the "Queen," quietly.

So that we can barely make it out.

But why, when she's kidnapped?

Vimo Beach Queen...

It's an image of a queen.

And though it's hard to make out, it definitely says "Queen."

What if it hadn't been Vimo Beach,

but Vimo Beach Queen Motel all along?

Detective, I think I know where Saet-byul is.

It wasn't Vimo Beach Unmanned Motel,

but Vimo Beach Queen Unmanned Motel.

I don't know why,

but I think the suspect had been targeting Mr. Jang Hyo-joon.

So Saet-byul had articulated just the word, "queen," quietly

to prevent him from going there.

I'm actually on my way there now.

(Kwon Saet-byul)

Vimo Beach Queen.

The names are similar.

It can't be...

(Vimo Beach Queen Unmanned Motel Currently Under Renovation)

Saet-byul...

Saet-byul?

Saet-byul!

Saet-byul! Saet-byul!

Saet-byul!

Saet-byul... Saet-byul!

It's okay, Saet-byul. It's okay.

I'm here now. I'm here for you, you're okay now.

Director Kang.

I thought the ID, "Pigdiss," was familiar,

and he's the Vlogger who spreads false info

about every hot topic with a pig mask on.

He was almost kicked off from HotTV last time, after accusing

some innocent guy as the culprit of the Parking Lot Murders.

And today, he's uploaded a trailer about how he'll be teaching a lesson

to a fraud pretending to be a police, and a corrupt teacher.

- What? - Let me bring it up on screen.

Our informant says he had a hellish time at school,

thanks to his homeroom school teacher, JHJ.

Not only did JHJ instigate others to bully him,

but he assaulted our informant, too!

And when the a committee was called to address the issue,

he was bribed with all sorts of luxury goods from the offenders

and took their side!

Tune into his channel now.

Oi, you trashy teacher.

When I say, "Action,"

pick up that bat and beat that scammer's face.

Expose your dirty bare face, all right?

If today's show isn't a hit,

her vulgar photos will be broadcasted live for all to see.

(Pigdiss of Justice)

Director Kang, I've connected to his live show.

Pigdiss, go for it!

I know that once you bite, you never let go.

Oh yeah, take some of my money.

Hey, VimoD, thanks. I'll give you my account details now.

This will be a legendary show.

Let's watch and see how those trash learn their lesson, all right?

Let's make this legendary.

Let's make this legendary, all right?

Let's go.

(To be continued!)

This is the control room.

The suspect is Pigdiss, who is a HotTVer.

There's a high chance he may force Mr. Jang Hyo-joon

into assaulting Kwon Saet-byul to attract viewers.

We must stop him now.

This show is pushing it,

even if he is a vicious HotTVer...

Before that, Mr. Jang had tried to say something.

Agent Han, replay that footage just now.

Yes, ma'am.

No matter what you do, it won't change anything.

Wait.

No matter what you do, it won't change anything.

He just said, "No matter what you do, it won't change anything."

But what does that mean?

Detective Cho, turn up the volume on your transceiver

so I can hear the sounds from the scene.

(11:59 AM)

(29 Minutes Since the Kidnapping of Kwon Saet-byul)

(Filming was carried out with full emotional)

(and mental support for our child actors in this episode)

(Voice 4: Don't Miss that Sound)

Ruining someone's reputation is a piece of cake.

You know it already, Mr. Jang.

That once the rumors spread and it's entertaining,

nobody cares about the truth anymore.

I warned you.

Ignore me one more time,

and I won't overlook it this time.

There's a limit to my patience.

I've tried this much for you, so what about you?

What you believe to be love...

is a crime.

Can you hear me?

Detective Cho!

So I'll have to deliver the punishment this time.
