This way.

(Episode 1)

(Original novel written by Agatha Christie)

(National Forensic Hospital)

Where's Mr. Jo?

He was transferred to another office yesterday.

I'm Mr. Lee.

What's this ruckus as soon as I came?

Seal the front gate first.

She must not have been able to run off outside yet.

We checked everyone in position...

and locked all the gates right when it happened.

Is the missing inmate that woman?

Right. You know,

the one who killed her own daughter.

I told all of them here to wait for now.

Check their ID cards and keep them here until further instructions.

Check the surroundings of this building.

We have CCTV screens in the monitoring room. Escort him there.

Yes, sir.

Do you have a recent picture of her?

The general affairs team might have it.

Get her photo and check everyone in the lobby.

Okay.

When did you find it out?

She was gone when we came back from the musical therapy after breakfast.

- Was she there in the hall? - Of course, we checked.

There were a total of 55 without any exception.

That's the most important.

We check the number when we go in...

and when we go out.

51.

(1 hour and 24 minutes before the incident)

- 52. - 53.

- 53. - 54.

54.

Where's 55?

55, the end.

55, the end.

(Kang Soo Young's Musical Therapy)

Left as an echo

No matter what the others say

You are beautiful than flowers

You have overcome

All this loneliness

No matter what the others say

You are beautiful than flowers

Close the door.

(21 minutes after the incident)

How about during the shift?

She couldn't have run away with all these iron doors.

Plus, when they passed through here, there were 55 of them.

Can't you remember?

It's really not my fault.

Then is it mine?

There were 55 of them right in front of here too.

I counted the number myself.

22, 23...

- 53. - 53.

- 54. - 54.

- 55, the end. - 55.

There were surely 55 of them.

I'm telling you the truth.

I checked the CCTV footages...

and counted them 1 by 1.

I'm really not responsible for this.

Goodness.

Stop talking about responsibilities and open the gate.

Oh, okay.

(23 minutes after the incident)

Can you believe this?

We kept all of them in the place with three-fold iron doors.

So how are we missing one person?

Who found it out first?

One of the nurses, of course.

Those nurses keep the wards under control.

Are they all the nurses?

Some of them are guarding the visitors in the lobby.

You saw them too.

The nurses here are doing even that kind of work?

Because we have no prison guards.

Those nurses are prison guards in here.

Here. It's her bed.

What is it seriously?

It's not like she flew up into the sky...

or is six feet under.

There's one more person,

you idiot.

No, one person is missing.

Why aren't you doing your job?

There's one more person!

That's the workroom where they train those who are in better shape.

I see.

- What is it? - You need to come...

to the monitoring room, sir.

Look. What do you think you're doing? I'm a busy person.

I have to put on a show for the generals...

at Gyeryongdae Complex this evening. Did I not tell you that already?

Did you check?

Yes. It looks like she's still somewhere in the building.

Are you the person in charge here?

Yes.

All right. Why are you keeping us here?

We'll be done by evening. Please wait.

By evening?

A nurse told me that you'd lock us in here until tomorrow.

I don't know which nurse it was, but she's wrong.

Someone might have escaped from here.

That's not me, is it?

Did I escape from this building?

No, but...

- Take her outside for now. - Okay.

No, wait.

I'm not the prison breaker. Why are you locking me in?

Do you think I'm a crazy woman who broke out of prison?

Ms. Kang, please calm down.

How can I calm down when he treats me like a psycho?

Why don't we go outside first?

Mr. Underling, stay out of this.

You.

What's your rank?

If you don't stop, we could arrest you for obstruction of justice...

"Obstruction of justice"?

"Obstruction of justice"?

Hey! Who do you think I am?

You! You!

- Oh, gosh. - Governor.

- Ms. Kang. - They just...

He said he'd arrest me for obstruction of justice.

I mean, which nurse...

- gave her the wrong information? - They're the ones who locked me in.

I should find her and smack her darn mouth...

Forget it. Go talk to the person who noticed the inmate's absence.

Yes, sir.

- Detective Han, is it? - Yes, I'm Han Tae Gyu.

What have you found out?

- I think she's still in here. - That's good.

Just to be safe, ask for backup from the military base nearby.

Is that really necessary?

She murdered a little girl.

You arrested her yourself, didn't you?

Yes, I handled her case.

Fine. It'll be good if we find her in the building,

but let's do everything we can to be safe.

- I'll call the military base. - Thank you.

Also, why don't we let the people who have been identified go home?

Her husband is a brigadier general at Gyeryong Complex.

We need his help for the backup forces as well.

We have all visitors waiting as well.

- If she's among them... - Do you think I'm her?

Do you think I'm that crazy woman?

Ms. Kang! Please calm down now.

Sir.

She's not among them.

Did you check everyone's face at the lobby?

- Yes. - So she's not among them.

She could be hiding in an empty ward,

so let's check.

For now, we should do the things that we can do.

(36 minutes after the incident)

Let me see the person before her go in.

Sir.

Play that again.

It's strange. We can't find the one who noticed her absence first.

There was one more person.

I'm sorry?

There was one more nurse.

- 53. - 53.

- 54. - 54.

(11 minutes before the incident)

55, the end.

Guys, you're all back now. Let's do a final head count.

Everyone, stand in front of your bed!

All right, this will be the last round!

Bring her out too.

You little...

Stop.

Oh, no. There's one person missing.

Everyone, stay calm! Please check under the beds.

Nurse Baek, hurry up.

Sir, one of the inmates is missing.

- What? - One of them is missing!

Stay calm!

- Everyone, sit down! - No, there's one more person.

Now!

- What do we do? - Let's stay calm.

- Are you sure that one is missing? - Yes.

Be on standby in your positions for now.

This is terrible.

- Who will take the blame for this? - Blame?

I clearly did the head count! Why would I take the blame for this?

Can't you check the security camera footages in the monitoring room...

- to check the number of inmates? - The monitoring room?

Here's what we're going to do. You should check the footages,

and we'll go look for her in the hall just to be sure.

If the same number of inmates came in and went out...

or if we find her in the hall,

you won't be held responsible.

You're right. Okay!

Let's do that for now.

- Hurry. - Let's go.

Gosh, look at that.

- Yes? What is it? - What's going on?

Check the footages from the 3rd floor 10 minutes ago.

Okay.

Mr. Choi, what's wrong?

An inmate's missing. Gosh, I clearly did the head count.

What?

There. 1, 2, 3,

- 4, 5, 6... - An inmate's missing?

She's probably hiding in the hall.

- Then go check the hall! - 11, 12...

- Why did you come down here? - I sent the nurses to the hall.

- 15... - Mr. Lee.

- I think we have a prison breaker. - A prison breaker?

If one of the inmates is missing...

Darn it. The governor isn't even here right now.

This isn't my fault. I clearly counted 55 people.

- You idiot. - I'm sure.

- Darn it, I lost count. - What's the protocol?

(The occurrence of the incident)

- What's going on? - Sir.

- What's happening? - What's going on?

- We need to go to the lobby. - Why?

- Let's hurry. - How can we go there right now?

All the gates must be locked.

- You got the keys earlier. - Oh, right!

Yes, it's her.

No, we haven't found her yet.

Yes. Please get here as fast as you can.

Have you called the governor?

Assign some people to the lobby.

Just find some people for it!

- Mr. Lee. - Why are you guys here?

We came from the hall.

- Did you find her? - No.

Anyway, it's good that you're here.

Please help these people calm down until the police get here.

Pardon? That's not really our job.

Look, she's doing it. Can't you see it?

Come on, let's move.

All right, guys. Why don't you sit down first?

- Can't you just let us go? - Open the gate.

Open it now.

- They have left already? - I was told to let them go.

- What about the nurses? - They're still here.

Keep them there. I'll be right down.

How did she get the nurse's uniform?

Don't the nurses know each other?

The work is tough here, so they come and go.

They work double shifts, so sometimes, they get mixed up.

Today happened to be one of those days.

Why are there only 3 of them? There were 4 before!

(36 minutes after the incident)

The doors are open now.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- We can go now? - This is ridiculous.

How could this happen?

- Tell me about it. - Let's go.

Why did they lock us in here?

Let's get out of here.

They didn't even explain what happened.

I've never experienced anything like this before. This is absurd.

A lock-in all of a sudden?

- That was insane. - I know.

What was that about?

What on earth is going on?

What was the problem?

What are you doing?

Gosh, get going. Seriously.

I can't believe they locked us up in there for two hours.

"But let justice roll on like a river,"

"righteousness like a never-failing stream."

Sir.

The battalion force will be coming to help,

and the backup force will be arriving soon.

- Call the press. - The press?

We need permission to carry out an open investigation.

I'll take responsibility for everything, so just call them.

Sir.

I know you're the one who locked her up in jail.

But how bad is she...

for us to ask for the battalion and the press?

Do you want to know?

Over here!

Sang Hoon, get in here.

The inmate that escaped from National Forensic Hospital...

is a woman who was imprisoned after having brutally...

murdered her young daughter.

She's currently in her late 40s.

The police are assuming...

that she's still inside the boundaries of Daejeon.

And they've started searching the outskirts of the hospital.

I'm sure you've already guessed, but I'm that woman.

The crazy woman...

that killed her own daughter with a rock.

Stay calm so that your son won't get scared.

Sang Hoon?

Just like what you're assuming,

I can harm Sang Hoon right here, and that goes for you too.

But that won't happen...

if you do as I say.

Do you understand?

It's just until nighttime.

Until then, don't come out of your house.

And don't answer the door even if someone knocks.

If you don't do as I say,

I'll be here before the police do.

You better keep that in mind.

The police won't protect you and Sang Hoon.

(Inspecting)

(Inspecting)

Sir, the battalion force...

just started searching the mountain near the hospital.

What about her husband?

Detective Lee checked, but nothing special came up.

Don't worry too much.

That crazy woman couldn't have gone too far away.

"Crazy woman"?

She's not crazy.

She not only knows the hospital system,

but she also knew the personalities of all the employees...

that were on duty on the day she was going to escape.

That's absurd.

She knew there was going to be a new manager.

She knew that the chief wasn't going to be on duty.

She knew the nurses on day and night duties were going to work together.

Do you think it's a coincidence that she picked a day...

when all three of those things were going to happen together?

Then...

are you saying she planned ahead to escape today?

Remember that nurse...

that you wanted to find and teach a lesson?

Do you know who that is?

No way.

That's right. It's her.

She's the one that called the music teacher...

and made a mess of the entire place.

It was all her.

- Hey. - The fugitive is calling.

I'll have you connected.

(Lee Hyun Gyu)

Honey.

Are you okay?

Talk in longer sentences.

Honey, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you... Are you okay now?

Honey.

I...

I'm so sorry.

I didn't even visit you recently.

To be honest, I wanted to forget everything.

I got scared every time I saw you.

Every time I saw you look so blankly,

I kept getting reminded...

of what happened that day.

I understand, honey.

Let's try again.

Now that you're okay,

let's get an attorney.

You've already spent enough time in prison.

- So they might reduce... - No.

Honey.

I'm innocent.

I...

I didn't kill Min Seo!

Someone else killed my daughter.

I'm going to find them.

I'm going to find them...

and take revenge...

for what they did to my daughter.

I'm going to...

hit their head with a rock and kill them.

Honey.

Honey.

- Yes? - I'm sorry.

It took me a long time to realize...

that you had a hard time because of me.

Honey.

When we...

meet again in the future,

I want to be a better wife.

I want to make up for all the times...

- Honey. - I used to be so mean to you.

Run away.

You can't come home, honey. The police are here!

Run away, honey! Run! Run away!

Honey, run away!

Run!

Honey, run away!

Thank you, honey.

Thank you.

Sir, let's go. They traced her phone's location.

(Episode 2)

I've found her phone, but it seems like she ran off already.

Find out whom its owner is, and secure the call history.

Where are you by the way?

- I'm at a charnel house. - A charnel house?

I'll check something and call you again.

(Jang Min Seo)

(Jang Min Seo)

Mommy's here, Min Seo.

I brought you your favorite small chrysanthemums.

I'll...

bring other stuff...

next time.

Pizza, tteokbokki,

braised galbi with chestnuts,

and kimbap without carrots.

I'll buy strawberry and chocolate flavored, beaded ice cream too.

Mommy's here, Min Seo.

Your mommy is here.

Jang Min Seo? What year was she born?

She was a child when she died in October of 2009.

Jang Min Seo.

(Name: Jang Min Seo)

Are you her father?

No, it's just...

Go to H109.

H109, okay. Which way is it?

If you turn at the 3rd corner on the 2nd floor,

you will see the H section.

Thank you.

She must be happy...

to have many visitors today.

Did someone else come?

A pretty woman came to visit her.

(H Section)

H...

(H Section)

I know you're here.

Did you come here because you missed your daughter?

But she wouldn't want to see you.

What kind of daughter would want to see her mom who killed her?

Right.

You're the one who killed your daughter!

Stop right there.

You won't be able to go far.

What's the reason?

Why did you break out of there all of a sudden after nine years?

Tell me.

(Detective Cheon)

Hello?

I found the owner of the phone. The car was stolen too.

Come to Green Charnel House in Sannae-dong.

What? What did you say?

I've caught her, so come to Green Charnel House in Sannae-dong.

Yes, sir.

I'll listen to your story later in time.

Hold out your hands.

Hold out your hands.

Don't you dare run your mouth in front of my daughter.

I didn't kill her.

I didn't kill her!

Excuse me.

Repot the plant, please.

One of their tops went missing early summer last year,

and a pair of pants went missing before fall too.

It led to a commotion at first,

but they let it slide because nothing really happened.

Why is it here?

I heard about how they hide cigarettes in soccer balls,

but she really is something.

What are you talking about right now?

She caused trouble and got locked up in here 2 to 3 times a week.

She was always hanging from the windowsill,

saying she wanted to look at the city.

Look at the city?

Gosh. She was just training herself to knock down a man.

Goodness.

Is your arm really okay?

Oh, yes. It's fine.

What kinds of troubles did she cause?

It was nothing big.

She hid other inmates' belongings,

picked fights with them for no reason,

or meddled in fights and made things worse.

For no reason?

When I asked her why, she always said the same thing.

She said she did it to study human beings or something.

That crazy woman.

Study human beings?

Did she read any other books?

The general affairs team should have a list of the books she borrowed.

- I see. Get me a copy of that. - Okay.

Why did she do that anyway?

She stayed here for over nine years. Why did she escape all of a sudden?

Did she do it to make me suffer or what?

(Do Humans Have Destructive Nature?)

I didn't kill Min Seo!

Someone else killed my daughter.

I'm going to find them.

I'm going to find them...

and take revenge...

for what they did to my daughter.

I'm going to...

hit their head with a rock and kill them.

I didn't kill...

The prison breaker denied the charge of...

murdering her daughter,

but as additional evidence was found at that time,

she was sentenced to life in prison.

She was classified as a prisoner who needed medical treatment afterwards,

and she was moved to National Forensic Hospital.

Despite the extensive search of the military and police,

the prison breaker's whereabouts is still unknown.

The car that seems to be the one that the prisoner hijacked...

was found near Daejeon Station,

but it didn't have any clues to her escape route.

If you revealed it to the press without my permission...

and even mobilized the military, you should've caught her by now.

Han Tae Gyu, what on earth are you doing?

I'm sorry, sir. I'm responsible for all of this.

Responsible?

How are you going to take responsibility exactly?

- I'll resign if I have to. - What?

Resign?

Knock, knock.

Chief Prosecutor Yang.

I heard that you lost her.

Well...

What brought you here by the way?

I worked on her case before. I'm appointed to it again this time.

Who are these guys?

- Detective Han's subordinates. - Oh, really?

If you want to assist him,

do better.

Don't make Tae Gyu quit his job.

Get out.

If you make him quit just for losing some crazy woman,

every detective in this country should quit as well.

- Don't you agree? - Well, yes.

- Detective Han. - I'm sorry I let you down.

Right.

Have you been eating at all?

Is your arm okay?

Yes.

Is she a dog? Why did that crazy wench bite your arm?

It looked like she had come to her senses.

I heard it too.

What are you going to do now?

- I'm going to catch her. - Yes. You'd better do that.

Dead or alive, put her back in prison.

- Prosecutor Yang. - What?

I'd like to investigate her case again.

- Why? - Something has been bothering me.

What? That case was closed nine years ago.

I think there's something that we missed...

It's good that you brought it up.

We,

you and I,

caught her together when I was a new prosecutor...

and you, a rookie.

Now, you want to investigate it again?

You want to tell everyone...

that you and I might have imprisoned an innocent woman...

for nine years?

- I'm sorry but... - Just eat your food.

Prosecutor Yang.

I've been nice to you because I felt bad you only went to high school,

and now, you're getting cute with me.

Say something like that again,

and I will tear up that mouth of yours.

(List of borrowed books)

You don't expect us to read all of these, do you?

This is the list of the books she had read until she escaped.

This is a torture.

Read them. You will find the way to catch her in there.

Wait. This is a bit strange.

- What's strange? - The dates.

She started reading a bunch of books around this time last year.

You're right. She didn't read any books before that.

She suddenly felt the desire to learn.

(List of books borrowed)

Wait a second.

Isn't this around the time when you and I visited her?

Why did you visit her?

He wanted to show her a film or something.

I think it was a historical film.

("Shaman")

("Shaman")

It can't be...

Please raise your glasses!

(1 year ago)

Great work today, everyone!

- Great work! - Thanks.

Stop!

- Stop right there! - Stop!

- Get her! - Stop!

Let us watch the baseball game.

In a bit, okay?

Come on. I want to watch the game.

Hold on just for a moment.

They filmed that movie in this town.

Come on. This is an important post-season game.

My gosh. Stop complaining.

That's the way to Gongju.

Don't you know where it is? It's near Yongam Mountain.

Oh, I shouldn't be doing this.

- Call me if you need anything. - Okay.

Look at that.

The Joseon Dynasty collapsed because...

the constables were just chasing after a ghost.

My goodness.

Let's watch the game now.

- They're in the lead right now. - That's right.

("Shaman")

I found out why she escaped.

She had been preparing for it since she watched this film.

I don't know what this is,

but hand that case over to Seobu Police Station.

I'm sorry?

Seobu Police Station will handle this case from today.

Sir.

You said you'd take responsibility for this, right?

Take a rest for a while.

A suspension can be considered as a vacation, you know.

A long vacation.

(Ma Ji Won, author of "Maze Game")

(3 months later)

(Eden Academy)

(Plus Daily)

- Hello. - Hello.

My gosh.

(Police)

May I help you?

I'm Ms. Hong, and I work at the village library.

Oh, I see.

Why is it that the precinct station...

in our village always keeps the doors locked like that?

The chief is out on duty, and I was outside eating lunch.

What if a thief breaks in...

while your chief is on duty and you're out eating lunch?

We got an award for being a crime-free village.

There's no way.

And if that ever does happen, you just need to call 112.

Then we'll be there in no time.

The library's right in front of the station.

Must we go through the trouble of calling the police?

- What's the matter? - Someone stole my card.

I'm talking about my credit card.

Gosh, it stinks.

Credit card.

Did you report that it went missing?

I told you that someone stole it.

Oh, right. Someone stole it. "Theft".

Forget it. I know who stole it.

- Who? - That thug.

What?

I was arranging the books in the reading room,

and that thug suddenly came in.

I was scared and didn't want to be in the same room as him,

so I escaped to the rest area for a while.

But I suddenly realized...

that I had left my bag and wallet in the reading room.

Did anyone else come by?

No.

What about any volunteer women?

You mean the teachers? None of them came today.

Right, teachers.

Okay, then. The chief will be here soon.

- So we'll take care... - Hey.

I just filed a report.

And I told you who the criminal is.

Then you should be arresting him right now.

But there's no clear evidence to prove that he's the criminal.

My gosh.

Here. Look.

There.

He went to an internet cafe and a bar.

They're obviously places where thugs would go.

I go to those places as well.

They're places where thugs would go!

Calm down.

Just a second.

But why would he steal a credit card to go to places like these?

Then what about this right here?

He spent over 1,000 dollars at a department store.

Are you sure it wasn't you?

I can already guess that it's a jewelry store.

"Constable Bae Do Hwan".

- Which Bae family are you from? - Why do you ask?

My cousin is the chief of the regional investigation unit...

in Gyeonggi Province.

And his last name is also "Bae".

I asked you to find a criminal, but you're not doing anything.

That's a dereliction of duty.

Hello, this is Constable Bae Do Hwan of Rainbow Precinct Station.

What? What did you say?

Oh, okay. I get it.

I'll be there right now.

Hey, are you listening to me?

Something urgent happened.

I'll take care of your case right after this.

- Salute. - This is urgent too.

Wait!

My gosh!

If he didn't spend too much money, just report it missing.

I can't do that.

I used our family photo to make that card.

The self-photo credit card?

Yes.

It was a photo of Mi Young when she was young and pretty.

I can't even get another one issued.

Then how about we ask that woman?

- What? - You know.

That writer who recently moved to the neighborhood.

That old, single lady named Ms. Ma?

She's very acute because she writes mystery novels.

Woo Joon's bag went missing,

but she helped me find it really quickly.

Woo Joon lost his bag again?

It turns out that he had it hidden in his room.

What?

He said it went missing because he didn't want to go to the academy.

I looked underneath his bed,

and I found all the bags he told me...

that he had lost up until now.

And that woman was the one who found all that?

"Ma'am."

"He hates his bag because he hates studying."

"You'll probably find everything in his room."

That's what she said.

I don't like that woman.

I don't like how she peeks around the neighborhood.

She came to the library a couple of times,

and she once even...

asked for the address of one of our members.

- Why didn't you tell her? - My gosh, seriously?

That's personal information.

You can get in trouble for disclosing it.

Personal information?

What? Ms. Hong from the library came by?

Yes. My gosh.

I mean, she can just report it missing...

and get a new credit card issued.

But she kept treating me like a kid and was very irritated.

My gosh, Do Hwan.

Ms. Hong's husband is a doctor,

and her cousin is the chief of the regional investigation unit.

You seriously drive me crazy.

Where did she go?

She was with a woman with a yellow parasol.

Ms. Park?

Attorney Choi's wife?

You know so many things.

Those are things that you should know.

Do you think people get promoted out of nowhere?

Then do you get promoted by buttering people up?

That's not something you should be embarrassed about.

You need to bow if need be.

It takes courage to flatter someone to become successful.

That kind of makes sense.

But wait a minute. If she was with Ms. Park,

that means she might have gone to see that woman again.

"That woman"?

I really don't like that woman.

Just wait a little.

Hey, are you in there?

Ms. Ma.

Ms. Ma.

Hello, Ms. Park.
