The suspect of the female tourist murder case went into hiding on the 10th,

prompting the police to publicly open the case to track down the suspect.

Meanwhile, It was also revealed

that the suspect had currently been on trial for sexual assault,

causing public outcry against the police's poor initial investigation.

GO BACK

It's you, right?

Me?

You're a police officer, right?

Oh, did you come to our station before?

So you really are a police officer.

Are you in any kind of trouble?

You can tell me if you need any help.

I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

Do you jog here at the same time every day?

Yes.

Then I guess we'll meet again.

Goodbye.

What's this?

- They want this aired? - Yes.

- Did they confirm it? - Yes.

One, two, three.

Can you put on a more confident face?

Hang on.

Okay, stay still. Here we go. One, two, cheese!

We're working like dogs but you seem to have a lot of time on your hands.

When are we getting more people for the night shift?

We got someone right here.

I'm off to the sauna.

I'm going to go grab something to eat.

Pay no mind to them, Officer Kim.

A female officer from another station was assaulted during her night patrol.

What kind of a jerk assaults a police officer?

I know, right? What a scumbag.

How long do I have to keep holding this?

My finger hurts.

This is an exclusive report from SBC.

We have just received a ransom note

from an anonymous source claiming to have a child in hostage.

"Send 100 million won.

I want every citizen to send 1,000 won each within a week.

The child is safe with me now,

but I will kill the child if you fail to raise 100 million won."

What kind of an asshole

- would do something like that? - This was sent in...

- along with a bank account number. - Maybe it's a prank.

Could you zoom in on this?

It must be a girl.

If each person sends 1,000 won to raise 100 million...

If we divide 100 million by 1,000...

-One, ten, hundred, -The police are investigating...

- thousand... - A hundred thousand people.

Yes, this is Seowon Police Station.

Your child?

FIRST DAY OF THE ABDUCTION

Well, I'm sure the TV station took care of that.

Yes, you should contact them.

This is a police station, you know.

Yes, try giving them a call.

Thank you.

When does your kid usually come home after school?

Three?

But it's 12 right now.

How old is your child?

Eleven? What's their name?

I'm sure your child will come home. What?

Oh, they have private tuitions?

You should talk to the broadcast station about false news.

- Her name is "Hye-rin"? - Does your child have a phone?

Did she go to school today?

Then you should call the academy.

- Pardon? She's home now? - Yes, try calling the station.

- All right. - That's a relief.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Oh, it's so hot. My breath smells bad too.

I bet people will lose interest in a few days.

Apparently, the account number provided belongs to a welfare center.

Really?

Does that mean that he didn't do it for the money?

It's like he's testing the citizens on their conscience.

That's interesting.

What's he trying to prove? I strongly disapprove.

How was it? Do you think I could make it as a rapper?

Go for it.

All right, let's go. There's been a theft at the library.

- Bye. - Bye.

MAPO-GU CHILDREN'S WELFARE CENTER

Ms. Park O-sun.

Do you know what time it is?

You know I love you, right?

What about the support fund statistics?

Didn't I tell you to have it ready by...

I startled you, didn't I?

Why don't we hold a fundraiser event?

If we take pictures with public figures and release articles,

maybe we'll raise more money.

O-sun.

I heard that Bo-ra's been absent for four days.

So I was thinking about visiting her at home.

Let me come with you.

Okay,

but don't do anything and stay quiet, all right?

The center won't let you off the hook this time

if you grab her father by the neck like you did last time.

Got that?

Yes.

Hello.

Yes, I'm heading to her house right now. I'll call you after I see her.

Yes.

Okay. Goodbye.

Are you going to be Santa Claus all year long?

I heard it's all the rage these days.

You should buy her this instead. Bo-ra was complimented on her calligraphy.

This one looks better, right?

You're unbelievable.

Go on in.

Bo-ra.

Are you inside?

We're from the Han-Nuri Welfare Center.

How have you been?

You look taller than the last time I saw you.

You shouldn't sit so close to the TV.

It'll be really uncomfortable if you have to wear glasses later.

I was glad I wasn't at home.

This is what eight-year-old Yu-bin said after she woke up at the ER.

She still has marks on her neck from when her father choked her.

This is her X-ray scan. She has multiple fractures on her head and torso.

If we were a second late...

Bo-ra.

O-sun brought you a present.

Do you want to see what it is?

Ta-da.

Do you like it?

Wow.

You're really good!

You're much better than me.

I was the worst at art and music when I was in school.

I even lip-synced during music class because I was so bad at singing.

Your friends and teachers at school wanted me to tell you they miss you.

Really?

Of course.

Were you sick or hurt anywhere?

Is that why you didn't go to school?

We have unfortunate news.

A 16-year-old boy has died from jumping off a rooftop.

This boy had been bullied at school for a long time.

An elevator security footage of his last moments is spreading online,

causing more people to feel saddened by his death.

He left a post on his social network page before his death.

The last message he left said,

"Everyone, goodbye."

I heard that these days

parents hold parties for their daughters when they start their period.

Do you know what Bo-ra said to me in the bathroom?

She said she's bleeding as punishment for not listening to her teachers

and fighting with her friends at school.

That's why she didn't go to school.

What about the bruises on her legs?

They say some bruises could just be from disciplining the child.

And they say

that the children who don't listen to their parents deserve a beating.

Bruises disappear after a few days.

So we can't do anything without clear evidence.

Then does she need to get a broken leg for it to be reported as abuse?

You brat.

This is what we call "discipline."

It's up to you whether you pay that 1,000 won or not.

We won't punish you if you don't.

It's the kidnapper who should be punished.

Right.

"Bitch"?

Yes. So what?

- It was you who hit her! - Shut it you bitch!

I know you hit her! Damn it!

The welfare center account.

Yes.

Okay. Bye.

- Do you have proof? - I know you hit her!

Do you have proof, you bitch?

"Bitch"?

Did you come to our station before?

So you really are a police officer.

Apparently, the account number provided belongs to a welfare center.

NAME: PARK O-SUN HAN-NURI CHILDREN'S WELFARE CENTER

I'm doing fine.

I'm thinking about jogging in the morning.

Mom.

I really am doing okay.

Just worry about yourself.

So is this how it's going to be?

Excuse me.

I'm a police officer.

There's been a report about someone suspicious around here.

May I see your ID, please?

This is the police.

This is the police.

The police?

There was a man who's been staring at your window.

Are you in any danger, or are you being stalked?

Oh, it's nothing serious.

Don't worry about it.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

I can help you, so please tell me.

I don't need help.

I'll leave my business card here.

You can call me any time.

KIM JI-WON

SECOND DAY OF THE ABDUCTION

A total of 520 thousand won has been raised

for the Thousand-won Abduction case we've reported on the other day.

The funds raised have been on the increase since it was revealed

that the provided account belonged to a children's welfare center.

However, the welfare center has announced that they are not involved

and asked citizens to stop sending money to the account.

Let's listen to the response of some citizens.

We still don't know who the abducted child is.

It could just be a prank. Who would actually send money?

It seems a bit fishy, but I think it's okay to do it.

It's only 1,000 won, so we could prevent something bad from happening.

I didn't pay though.

Have a nice day.

Bo-ra!

It's nice to run into you here.

Are you going to school today?

Yes.

Should I give you a ride?

Hold on tight, or you might fall.

Wasn't it exhausting?

Are you coming tomorrow too?

I will if you want me to.

Don't miss school anymore, okay?

Okay.

Bo-ra.

All right.

Here. I made some gimbap for you.

I'm not sure how it'll taste, though.

You're having a field day today, right?

SEOWON JEIL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FIELD DAY

I saw the school announcement at your house yesterday.

You know my number, right?

Call me if you need help, okay?

Okay.

No, I don't want to.

Come on. You look great in this photo.

You should try it this time.

I have stage fright.

I can talk to Officer Seo and get you night shifts.

- Even in the field? - Yes!

If you don't want to, you can stay in and take phone calls all day.

- We'll be late. Get in. - Okay.

DIFFERENT JOBS OF THE WORLD A POLICE OFFICER

One of the traits you need to have to become a police officer

is being observant.

Why don't you try observing the person next to you?

People who play with fire, or bully weaker friends or animals

usually can't talk to people while looking them in the eye.

That's because they lie often.

Lying is bad.

That's right!

So if you see any friends who do bad things like that,

you should always report...

I mean, you should tell your parents or teachers.

You should help your friends become good grown-ups by stopping them.

What if they take revenge on us?

Well...

Of course, you might hide what you saw because you're afraid of revenge.

But it's also our job to protect good people as well as catch bad people.

So trust us and don't worry, okay?

Okay, everyone.

Who wants to see handcuffs?

- Sir. - Yes?

Do you remember this case by any chance?

There was a complaint about a false report on child abuse a month ago.

Don't even get started.

The child's dad was making a huge fuss about suing about a false report.

The social worker said that he locked her up in her room

and starved her for several weeks,

but there was no way to prove that.

And the child couldn't even speak out properly.

That social worker went crazy and grabbed the dad by the collar.

I've never seen a woman grab a man by the collar like that before.

But why do you ask? Do you know her?

Well, actually,

I ran into her before.

She was with a kid,

but something seemed off.

It was on the day the Thousand-won Abduction case was reported,

the bank account also belonged to the children's welfare center,

And she happens to be a social worker.

Don't you think it seems suspicious?

What?

You seem really dedicated to your job. I wanted to compliment you.

Excuse me.

Can I have a moment?

One of my students has been absent for two days.

But I can't get in touch with the father.

She did miss school often before,

but with the abduction case and everything, I'm a bit worried.

Did you visit her at home?

Well, to be honest...

Her father has a bit of a temper, so it's hard to talk to him.

Well, if you report it, we may be able to help.

But since nothing's happened yet, we won't be able to look into it

just because you can't get in touch with him.

You just said she missed school often.

Why is that?

Her father won't let her go.

He says she doesn't need to go to school,

and that girls will have a bad personality if they study a lot.

Many abusive parents have themselves been abused as a child.

So we must first show them that we sympathize with them.

I know it's hard to sympathize with them when you think about the abused children.

I bet you want to curse them and hit them.

I know how you feel.

Are you feeling unwell?

I'm fine.

Then are you dating someone?

No.

Why do you keep smiling then? Did something good happen?

They say smiling brings good fortune.

And that makes me feel as if something good has already happened.

Is that like mind control?

To be honest,

something good did happen this morning.

What is it?

I'll tell you next time.

What?

In most cases, the judges say that parents could beat their children sometimes

while raising them, and that children should grow up with their parents.

O-sun.

They just finished Hyeong-u's surgery. It seems it went well.

- Really? - Yes.

There were some critical moments, but the surgery ended well.

Would you call this "discipline" too?

He had severe head pressure so we had to drill a hole in his head,

but he didn't react at all.

He's just a kid, but he didn't even blink when we were drilling through his head.

This is "attempted murder", not "discipline."

He has to go back home, though.

Back home?

There are so many signs of beatings on his body.

His mother argues that there was no abuse involved,

so there's nothing we can do.

If he's sent back home, he will be hospitalized again.

We'll watch him carefully so that this doesn't happen again.

What are you making?

I started doing this because I heard it'll take my mind off things.

It's pretty addictive.

You told us that Hyeong-u fell down the stairs, right?

The doctor said that if that was the case, he'd have injuries on his limbs.

And?

Kids of Hyeong-u's age fool around and cause trouble a lot.

So I understand if you hit him a few times

when he upset you.

You're a young mother,

and you must have given up a lot of things because of him.

I'm so sick of this.

I told you, I didn't hit him.

Then was it Hyeong-u's father?

This is so annoying.

What are you doing?

Children are like sponges. They absorb all kinds of things near them.

I bet Hyeong-u creeped you out sometimes.

I'm sure he looked just like your husband at times.

Listen to me.

The person you'll be scared of the most will soon become your son...

O-sun, stop it.

And not your husband.

You're crazy.

I want to kill abusive parents too when I see children who are hurt,

and I want to abduct them and keep them out of harm's way.

And I too am sick and tired of being one-step late every time.

O-sun.

What's the point in resenting them?

Whenever I came here and saw those kids,

I thought they were stupid for having hopes and dreams

despite everything that's happening around them.

But...

now that I think about it,

that could be pretty nice, too.

This isn't right.

What is it?

The student that teacher mentioned.

We should've gone to her house.

If we visit the house of every student who's missed school,

who would catch the real criminals?

There have been reports about a man

running through the Seowon redevelopment area in bloodied clothes.

Okay, what did he look like?

He's wearing a black cap, and he looked like he was in his 30s.

Do you mean Seowon 2-dong?

Yes, it's Seowon 2-dong.

Hey, slow down.

What's with you?

He's getting revenge.

Revenge?

Damn it...

There's blood! Wait!

Stop.

What are you doing? We need to call for backup.

Hey...

Ma'am.

Can you hear me?

Hold on.

Call the ambulance! Hurry!

Oh, yes. Right.

The woman's all right.

It seems she was stalked by her ex, but she was afraid to report it.

But what kind of guy would wave a knife around?

I heard he's just a regular guy.

Who's Kim Ji-won?

That's me.

Do you know her?

Why was your business card in her room?

Hey, what happened?

This is ridiculous.

A police officer handing out her business card everywhere?

It's my fault.

Keep your officers in line, will you?

THIRD DAY OF THE ABDUCTION

Is she picking up?

She's not, right?

Damn it. How could she do this when our kid is missing?

Did you check everywhere your child could be?

I told you I did.

Call her again.

Why?

Are you taking her side because you're a woman?

Just call her.

Let's go and look together...

No, just call her!

Damn it. She's working with that asshole to fuck me over.

What if she's abducted my son and asked for that 1,000 won fund.

"Abduct"?

Oh.

I get it.

You must be angry because your ex-wife is doing well with another man.

And the kid?

I guess you lost custody as well.

- What did you just say? - I must be right.

Have you lost your mind?

How could someone living off our taxes act like this?

People like you always say that.

Come out here, damn it!

I will.

Officer Kim!

Stop that.

Let's stop this.

Apologize to him.

Hey. Do you know who I am?

I'll sue you all!

I'll sue you for obstruction of business.

It's not obstruction of business, it's obstruction of justice.

And the sentence could be from six months to a year and four months.

Hey.

Have you all lost your minds?

Sir, let's calm down.

Go inside.

Hey, where are you going?

Come over here!

Come on!

Sir, stop.

Move aside.

I said move!

Sir. Please calm down.

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Look, no hands!

It's dangerous.

Are you having fun, Bo-ra?

Yes.

- Did you enjoy the gimbap? - Some of them were ripped.

I guess they were ripped during the ride there.

Should we take the bus next time?

I like the bicycle better because of the breeze.

But

how far can you go on this?

If there's a road, I can go anywhere.

Is there somewhere you want to go?

Anywhere that's not here.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

You made gimbap for Bo-ra yesterday, right?

I never saw Bo-ra smile like that before.

It's hard to do that for someone else's child.

I really respect you.

Well...

Ma'am.

Could I ask you something?

Of course. What is it?

How is Bo-ra doing at school?

What?

Tell me honestly.

What kind of student is she at school?

As you probably know, she's a little different from other kids.

So I don't know what to do at times

because I'm afraid I might upset her if I scold her.

But sometimes

she gives me the creeps.

PROUD OF OUR KOREAN LETTERS YOON BO-RA

Wow.

Bo-ra, you're really good at this.

Wow,

you've done very well too, So-yeong.

LET'S SAVE WATER CHOI SO-YEONG

You're going to be the loner in our class from now on.

What?

I was just kidding.

Is there anyone who wants to help the sixth-graders clean the bathroom?

Me! I'll do it with So-yeong.

Sorry. You go ahead first.

I need to get something from the classroom.

For today's class, you'll be writing a letter to the person you love the most.

Go on.

So-yeong.

Where's Bo-ra? Why are you cleaning alone?

Miss...

LET'S SAVE WATER

Oh, no. What do I do?

Get up.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

You know,

you shouldn't treat complainants like that.

If you react like that to everyone, you can't make it as a police officer.

Are you listening to me?

But it makes me so upset.

Women can't even call the police because we're scared of revenge.

Does that even make sense?

Are you on about that again?

I know I shouldn't have done that.

I know I was being rash,

but it's just too upsetting.

But still, we were able to find her quickly thanks to you.

Let's leave self-reflection to the criminals.

By the way,

that social worker you asked about...

You know, the one who caused a scene at the station a month ago.

Come to think of it,

she's the one who broke his finger.

It was an unforgettable incident.

When he and I were working the night shift the week before,

we received a report about a fight and went to the scene.

That woman was there that night.

Last week?

Her name's Park O-sun.

Wow, you have a good memory.

She's the woman who hurt me after all.

When you went there,

what was she like?

She was really...

out of it.

Hello?

Is that you, Bo-ra?

Bo-ra.

Is something going on?

Bo-ra!

Bo-ra!

Bo-ra!

Bo-ra!

Let me see her just for a minute.

Don't be ridiculous.

I told you, I'll just see her for a minute.

I just need to check something.

Shit!

Do you think you own this house or what?

Come here. Hey.

You barge in here like you own the kid when you haven't done anything to help.

Can you even call yourself a human?

Die!

Die!

Ms. Park...

O-sun!

Are you okay?

I'm...

sorry.

According to Officer Park,

it looked as if she was overloaded or something.

Do you want one?

I saw that woman three days ago.

Three days?

Then that's after that incident.

But what's strange is that she seemed to know me.

And she knew that I was a police officer.

I doubt she ever saw you, though.

Sir,

I should look for her.

Don't bother. You'll just cause more trouble.

If she grabbed him by the collar like that, she must have a lot of anger inside.

So there's a clear motive.

I told you, I saw her with a kid.

And you said it seems like the kidnapper didn't do it for money.

And?

Are you planning to forcibly interrogate her or something?

I should if that's necessary.

What about your job?

This is what real police officers are supposed to do.

It's also our job to handle complaints and deal with prank calls.

That's not important at all!

Hey, Kim Ji-won.

Do you think we're not letting you do night shifts because you're a woman?

If you do night shifts,

you'll be seeing worse people than that complainant from earlier!

You can't even control your own emotions right now!

The fund increased to 3.9 million won.

I guess it's because people know that it's for a welfare center.

Did you send 1,000 won?

As we announced before,

we will be covering the Thousand-won Abduction case.

We have the Criminal Psychologist Ha Ju-seong here with me today.

- Thank you for joining us. - Hello.

The fund has currently reached

around 4.5 million won at the time of speaking.

What do you think about this situation?

I believe this so-called "kidnapper" is just toying with everyone.

If the fund reaches 100 million won, and the child returns to safety,

the people who sent money would believe they did their part

and criticize the others who didn't.

So, this person is selling tickets to relieve the citizens of the guilt

they may feel if something bad really does happen for 1,000 won.

But Mr. Ha, to be honest,

I sent 1,000 won.

I believed that if we could stop something bad from happening

with just 1,000 won, it's only right to pay that amount.

Did you send 1,000 won, Mr. Ha?

No, I have no intention of sending that money.

We should never negotiate with criminals.

That's an important principle of constitutionalism.

O-sun.

Are you all right?

What were you dreaming about? You were moaning.

What about Bo-ra?

She's fine, so just worry about yourself.

If he demands settlement, I'll pay for it myself.

I'll make sure the welfare center isn't affected in any way.

Bo-ra's father said he won't settle unless you quit.

I warned you last time.

I told you we won't be able to help you if you cause trouble like that again.

I tried my best to stop it,

but they said they can't accept a social worker who's emotionally unstable.

O-sun.

You have to look for a different job now.

I just...

wanted to be of help.

Because I know how it feels.

But now

I don't know how I can help.

There aren't social workers who help other social workers.

People like us have to take care of ourselves.

People who help others shouldn't lose themselves.

When I was little,

I told myself

that I was just dreaming.

I was just having

a long nightmare.

Mi-yeon.

I guess bruises disappear

because they sink

deep inside of you.

STOP CHILD ABUSE

This poster is here, too.

I guess this is how she recognized you.

Hello, we're from the Seowon Police Station.

Hello. Is there a problem?

Well, we came to see Ms. Park O-sun.

I heard she works here.

Right, but why do you need to see her?

We'll tell you after we meet her.

Park O-sun did work here,

but she's not here anymore.

She quit last week.

Last week?

Yes.

Then that must be after the incident with Officer Park's finger.

What incident?

Could you tell us why she quit?

Well...

You could say she was actually fired.

She lost her temper and caused a scene with a child's parent last week.

The father said he wouldn't settle unless she quit

so we had no choice but to let her go.

Then

could you tell us anywhere she could be or anyone we can contact?

What is this about?

You should tell me why you're looking for her.

Did she cause some kind of trouble again?

It's not that we're suspicious of her, but there is something we should check.

I mean,

there are some things that seem suspicious,

and I think we can confirm them once we meet her.

Do you know O-sun?

Well, it's kind of hard to say.

I just met her once by coincidence.

I'm sorry?

Oh, I'm sorry about all this.

I think we've wasted your precious time.

Let's go.

When I was in middle school,

a police poster was posted in the junkyard.

There were kids smoking and doing bad things there.

How obvious.

One day,

a girl showed up looking for her textbooks there.

She was a new student,

and she was being bullied.

On some days she looked for her gym clothes,

and on some days, her backpack.

Sometimes they even threw out her desk, so she'd carry it back to her classroom.

The last time I saw her,

she was looking at the police poster.

I'm not sure if she's the reason I became a police officer.

But...

having made it this far makes me want to do more.

I want to save more people no matter what it takes.

So, what did it say on the poster?

"Don't worry."

"We're always on your side."

FIFTH DAY OF THE ABDUCTION

Hello, this is Officer Lee Byeong-hun of the Seowon Police Station.

Yes.

What's the location again?

Yes. Okay.

They said there's a strange smell coming from that house,

but they didn't even try ringing the bell because the tenant has a bad temper.

I didn't know what could happen so I just reported it first.

- Did you contact the tenant? - He's not picking up. And his phone's off.

I came all the way here from Suwon because of this.

I'm not sure if this is okay, though.

So should I open it or not?

Just open it.

I'm not taking responsibility for this.

- Why don't you stay outside, just in case? - Oh, all right.

Name, Yoon Jae-sik. Age, 49.

He used to sell plants and flowers,

but he went bankrupt and started working manual labor jobs.

His wife, Kim Mi-jin, died from an illness six years ago.

His daughter, Yoon Bo-ra, is 10.

She was absent from school the last 5 days.

- Any other family or relatives? - We're looking into it now.

Detectives.

I think you should see this.

Okay.

We'll need an autopsy to be sure,

but it seems that he's been dead for about five days.

And the cause of death?

It seems he hit his head on the sink while drunk.

He was very unlucky.

He hit the main artery so there was a lot of bleeding.

So if he slipped and died, it was just an accident.

There weren't any signs of forced entry either.

I thought so too, but...

Hey. Show them.

He crawled here while he was bleeding.

So he came out after hitting his head on the sink

and ended up dying here.

But his body was found

in the bathroom.

So someone moved his body back into the bathroom

and wiped off his blood?

If his body was in the living room,

we'd have found him sooner.

The higher temperature would have decomposed his body faster.

Then it's a homicide.

It could be.

Then what about the kid?

Excuse me. What happened in there?

It's a homicide, right?

What about the kid?

We're investigating it, so just focus on your work.

How long has he been dead?

Hey.

You better not mess things up again like last time.

It's a homicide case. Got that?

Yes.

Hey, Officer Kim. When did you meet Park O-sun again?

Five days ago.

Well...

I think we'd better tell the detectives about that now.

Hey.

Sir.

Just give me one day.

SIXTH DAY OF THE ABDUCTION

A male body has been found in Seowon-dong.

The police found the body after receiving a report about a strange smell.

The body belonged to a man in his 40's.

The police say there is a possibility of homicide.

Meanwhile, his 10-year-old daughter is also missing at the moment.

The police announced that they are looking for her along with the investigation.

Please tell me if there's anywhere Park O-sun might be.

Does she have close friends or family that live nearby?

Do you suspect O-sun of killing him?

The people here have been saying that too.

How could they be so cold?

O-sun began her job

because she wanted to save children

from going through the same thing that she did as a child.

What do you mean?

O-sun was abused as a child, too.

We can't even imagine how she feels when she's talking to abusive parents.

What about Bo-ra?

Did you find her?

No.

I thought you and O-sun seemed similar.

You both care too much about other people.

Saying you're nosy is just a nice way to put it.

These days, people would even say that you are a troublemaker.

But you're a police officer, so...

Officer.

What I mean is,

please catch O-sun.

Yes.

Welcome.

You don't know?

Then how about her mother's relatives?

Yes.

All right.

That will be 1,900 won.

Are you a police officer?

- Can you tell? - Well, I'm...

POLICE SCIENCE

You could be joining me in the future.

- Then let me ask you something. - Okay.

Have you seen this girl before?

Could we see the security footage from the camera outside?

There's security footage of her passing by a convenience store

with the girl on her bike at the estimated time of the crime.

She's been watching the girl go to school regularly.

Yes, I'm heading that way right now.

All right. Send it to me.

She grabbed the victim by the collar and made a scene a month ago.

And they seemed to have fought again at his house last week.

She really is something.

And she got fired from the welfare center because of that incident.

She's been out of touch since then.

Hey.

Today's the sixth day of the Thousand-won Abduction case, right?

Yes.

And it's the sixth day since Yoon Jae-sik was killed.

Yes.

And Park O-sun left that house around that time with the kid.

So you're saying she killed Yoon Jae-sik and abducted the kid?

Come to think of it, the account was for a children's welfare center.

The ransom note was a hand-written letter, right?

But

would a kidnapper go on bike rides with the child she abducted?

Anyone home?

Is there nobody here?

Hello.

Are you Park O-sun's mother?

Yes, I am. But who are you?

I'm a police officer.

Grandma, I'm done getting ready.

You're Bo-ra, right?

Here you go.

Thank you.

I've never seen a young female officer before.

She loved riding bicycles since she was little.

She even won medals in competitions.

I guess she doesn't ride bicycles anymore.

She broke her leg

in middle school.

She started riding again after she recovered,

but she couldn't ride as fast.

Oh, right.

I guess O-sun must have caused a lot of trouble by bringing her here.

Her parents must be looking for her.

Right.

She brought her here yesterday

and left for Seoul alone early this morning.

Did she mention where she was going?

No, she didn't.

She just said

that she should've visited more often if she knew this was going to happen.

But Officer,

O-sun isn't someone who would do such a bad thing.

There must be some kind of misunderstanding,

so please have mercy on her.

Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

You're working so hard right now.

No, it's all right.

Wait here just a moment.

I'll bring Bo-ra's stuff.

Here's a summary of the latest news.

At midnight, it will be the seventh day of the Thousand-won Abduction case.

The fund has now reached 7.9 million won.

The police are on alert for any incidents that might happen. The next news...

Did you send 1,000 won too?

No.

If it was 10,000 won each,

then they would have raised 79 million.

I bet the one who sent the letter is regretting it now.

Bo-ra.

Where were you and the social worker until now?

I'm not sure exactly where it was.

We rode a pirate ship together,

and she said we could go to the beach next time.

We ate eels

and fish stew.

That sounds nice.

But Officer.

Did you see the poor kids shown on TV before?

I wonder how they're living right now.

I hope they're all doing well.

Ms. Park told me

that I don't have a dad anymore.

But she said she doesn't have a dad either.

So she said people like us should help each other.

We promised to go back there

once I learn how to ride a bike on my own.

I want to go there again.

I was so happy there.

Bo-ra!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Let's go inside.

What were you thinking?

Were you trying to insult us?

No, I went there just in case.

Detective Joo. She found the kid so it's fine, isn't it?

I told you last time

not to meddle in our investigation.

You're not even detectives.

If you're a constable, act like one.

What's your relationship with Park O-sun?

- What? - I heard you met her before.

Why did you hide that?

Is she a suspect?

Did you find evidence?

Evidence? Of course.

There's security footage of her

leaving that house with the kid at the time of the crime.

Really?

- Are you sure they left that house? - Hey!

Ji-won.

Tell him everything you know.

Well...

I met Park O-sun by coincidence while jogging.

So where was that?

Do you jog here at the same hour every day?

Yes.

Then I guess we'll meet again.

Hey.

Are you listening to me?

Oh, right.

- Have you lost your mind? - Detective Joo!

That's enough.

Why are you making a scene here and bullying my junior?

If you need help, ask politely.

I guess it's because of his pride.

I've seen men just like him.

What did you say?

Have you all lost your minds or what?

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

Hey. That's enough!

Move. Hey!

Wow.

I can't believe it.

I was just thinking about you.

I was thinking of waiting for you to come jogging in the morning.

Park O-sun.

I visited your mother's house.

And I brought Bo-ra back.

I knew it.

You're here to arrest me.

Come with me.

What about Bo-ra?

The welfare center's taking care of her.

Right.

What happened?

Why...

did we meet that day

after that incident?

It was right after it happened.

That day,

I got a call from Bo-ra.

She said her dad was drunk.

She said she was scared and asked me to come.

So I went there,

and I saw dozens of red bruises on her.

I got so angry and I pushed him.

His head

hit the sink.

I thought he was dead,

but he crawled out

and started looking for his phone.

That moment,

I was reminded of my childhood.

He reminded me of my father

who beat me every time he got drunk.

I kicked his phone away.

And

I waited until he stopped breathing.

Children like Bo-ra give me hope.

That's why I started my job.

Because they shouldn't become a broken grown-up like me.

I moved his body to the bathroom to get rid of the evidence.

And then I took Bo-ra on my bike and just kept riding.

I stopped by the park to pump up the tires, and...

I need to use the bathroom.

- Can you go by yourself? - Yes.

While Bo-ra was in the bathroom,

I sat here and thought about

whether I should turn myself in.

That's...

when I met you.

- Who is she? - What?

Oh, she's just someone I know.

But Bo-ra, I think...

Can we really go anywhere as long as there's a road?

I want to go.

Anywhere is fine.

Take me there.

I thought,

"Wouldn't it be okay to go somewhere else

if she's suffering here?"

I enjoyed the breeze, the cool air, and seeing Bo-ra laugh,

even if it was just for a short while.

But I knew that the body -That looks fun.

Would be discovered soon.

A male body has been found in Seowon-dong.

The police found the body after receiving a report about a strange smell.

The body belonged to a man in his 40's.

So I took Bo-ra to my mother's house

and decided to turn myself in.

This place hasn't changed at all.

It's nice.

Then you should've visited more often.

Are you doing all right?

Mom.

I...

want Bo-ra to be the happiest person on earth.

And me too.

I wanted

to be able to overcome my hardships on my own.

O-sun...

Mom.

Maybe...

I'm still

lost in my dream.

I thought about you

before turning myself in

so I dropped by here.

I knew

that you were suspicious of me then.

And strangely,

I could feel that you were worried about me.

That made me feel better.

It felt like you'd listen to me

if I came here.

Did you have a nice trip?

Then you should come with me now.

And...

my name's Kim Ji-won.

Park O-sun.

I'm arresting you as a suspect

for the murder of Yoon Jae-sik.

ABDUCTION CASE CLOSED

Excuse me.

Were you discharged from the hospital?

Yes.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

I...

I'm sorry for acting rashly last time.

Wow, you look great in that photo.

Officer. Could you give me your business card again?

Pardon?

- Can you smile a bit? - Smile!

One, two, three.

- All right. Great. - Okay!

- Let's take a photo together. Just us two. - Why don't you all join him?

All right.

- Great. - Go stand over there.

Why don't you join them?

I guess you have some connections in the police force.

You did that to Detective Joo but got away with just a written apology.

Who are you? Are you from a rich family?

Then who was behind the Thousand-won Abduction case?

I heard it wasn't Park O-sun.

She had different handwriting from the person who sent the letter.

I think it could've been a kid's prank.

No, it could actually be a normal adult.

I heard that the culprit had amazing handwriting skills.

Right, I heard that letter was hand-written.

I didn't know that.

They purposely kept that detail out.

Something about the course of the investigation. But who knows?

We don't know if they actually investigated the case or not.

If it was 10,000 won each,

then they would have raised 79 million.

I bet the one who sent the letter is regretting it now.

Are you okay?

But...

do you really think Park O-sun did it?

Bo-ra.

What are you doing here?

I was just watching.

What's that?

A letter.

I heard you arrested Ms. Park.

Is that true?

Yes, I did.

I wanted to keep traveling with her.

I heard you're good at calligraphy.

So-yeong is better than me, though.

Really?

Bo-ra.

Do you remember what you said to me last time?

You said that they could have raised 79 million won

if the person who sent the letter asked for 10,000 won each.

How did you know that the culprit sent a letter?

Did I say that?

Sorry. Are you okay?

Officer.

I don't know the address.

Can you give this to Ms. Park?

What did you write about?

I wrote that I can ride a bike on my own now.

And that if she needs any help,

I'll help her.

You must like her a lot.

When can I see her?

Well,

maybe when you become an adult.

Will it take that long?

You have to be punished if you commit a crime.

Bo-ra.

If you're in any kind of trouble, I'll help you.

Because you pity me?

Because police officers are people who always help others.

And arrest bad people?

Yes.

Then

do you believe

that Ms. Park really killed my dad?

Ji-won.

Bo-ra, can you wait a moment?

Ms. Park...

Something's strange.

My dad isn't moving.

What will happen to O-sun now?

Isn't there anything our center can do to help?

Bo-ra.

Ms. Park...

Ms. Park...

I...

Bo-ra.

You have to listen to me carefully.

Are you all right?

Hang on.

Bo-ra.

Ms. Park said she really enjoyed the trip with you.

She told me

that you're her hope.

I'm sorry I took someone you care about

away from you.

Bo-ra.

I want to be on your side, too.

Would that be okay?

I...

have something to tell you.

Go Back
