The "Brave Citizen Award" will be awarded now.

The Minister of Interior and Safety will present the award himself.

This award is given in special thanks for the contribution in arresting

a serial killer named Shin Chang Min.

Please give a round of applause.

We will now aceept questions.

How did you recognize the killer at first sight?

Well...

Actually, I didn't recognize him at first.

I was with that reporter, and she spotted him first.

She spotted a store robbing him, so I threw a water bottle at him.

What?

Do you mean she spotted him robbing a store?

Oh, yes. That's right.

I think Mr. Kyeon Sik is nervous right now.

Congratulations once again.

Will you continue working as a night security guard?

Actually, my dream is to become a police officer.

My dad was a detective, so I wanted to follow in his footsteps.

But, I failed to pass the exam.

The Police Officer Exam?

I saw your martial arts skills in an online video.

How dare you throw this at me!

I think you could've easily passed the fitness test.

Which part did you find most difficult?

I'm not a smart person.

I think the whole exam was difficult.

Excuse me, Minister!

Do you have any plans on appointing Mr. Oh Kyeon Sik as a special detective?

I wasn't expecting that question.

What are you talking about?

Someone who isn't a police officer can't become a detective right away.

He has to pass the exam and gain experience as a police first.

Why did veteran detectives who passed the exam fail to arrest Shin Chang Min?

Well, thats's...

If that's what everyone hopes,

I will appoint Oh Kyeon Sik as a homicide detective.

Minister, is special employment possible?

But...

Naturally, for fairness, he will start as an intern detective.

This government is always interested in and supports youth employment.

Oh Kyeon Sik is the symbol for it.

Excuse me?

We haven't introduced ourselves yet.

I'm Lee Min Ju, an intern sports reporter.

Hi, I'm Oh Kyeon Sik.

Do you know where the alligator is?

Do you mean the elevator?

Oh, yes.

Do you have dyslexia?

Don't you struggle reading and saying words?

It's not something to be ashamed of, and you're not stupid.

From what I know, dyslexia can be cured when young.

Did nobody tell you about it?

Is that why you failed the Police Exam?

Even top action stars like Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan...

Stop.

That's enough.

I'll get going first.

[Inter Detective Oh Kyeon Sik]

See you tomorrow.

Fabulous Lee Min Ju.

I knew you would hit the jackpot one day.

Aren't you my college alumnus?

I'm sorry, but didn't you fire me yesterday?

You told me today is my last day at work.

You're really good at joking.

I was talking about your last day as an intern. Now, you'll be a full-time reporter.

Is that so?

Think carefully. I really said so.

- Maybe I heard you wrong. - Right?

Now, go and get more news about this guy.

- Right now! - Yes, sir!

Dad, what do I do now?

Didn't you say the easiest way is actually the longest?

You also said never to rush and take one step at a time on the right path.

But I want to take this chance to become a police.

This might be the only lucky chance in my life.

This is nonsense.

How can a night security guard suddenly become a detective?

This is a total disgrace to the police department!

Other detectives won't accept this.

You can't just appoint someone from nowhere as a detective.

Well, what can I do?

We can't make the Minister take back his words.

But this is way beyond the line.

Why don't we shove him to a small precinct station and fire him later?

Don't you know that the whole media is focused on him?

Then come up with a solution!

Sorry for interrupting, but may I say a word?

Who are you?

She's Chief Hwang, the Senior Superintendent of Ilsan Police Department.

She was famous in college as a persistent bitch.

Sorry for the inappropriate word choice.

Don't worry.

I heard that you passed the university exam by guessing every question,

but I'll also keep your secret.

All right then, what are your thoughts?

Doctors normally go through an intern course.

Other jobs also have a probationary period.

Everyone knows that!

But many people get fired during the intern course

due to the inability to handle the workload

or conflicts with colleagues.

Why don't we hire him as an intern detective for three months

and then assign him a difficult case?

Then, we can fire him on the pretext of failing to solve the case.

Everyone here and the Minister would be free from criticism by the media.

Are you going to fire him yourself?

Yes, I will.

That sounds like a pretty good plan.

But what if he solves the case?

That won't happen.

I'll assign him a case that can never be solved.

He'll be sent to a "Temporary Cold Case Investigation Team".

Do your best, Chief Hwang.

This could be your chance for a promotion.

Ch-Chief.

You're late again, Detective Hong.

I'm sorry, my child was sick last night.

Oh, really?

Do you drink when your child is sick?

Why? Because you're upset?

This is why you never get promoted even when I help you.

You always leave a bad impression on your coworkers.

You always come to work late with a hangover.

But not every day...

Oh my gosh.

Are you talking back to me?

I apologize for my mistake, Chief.

- It was a mistake, right? - Yes, ma'am.

But I really can't handle your mistakes anymore.

I'm really sorry.

I'll give you a chance to make up for it.

An intern detective named Oh Kyeon Sik will be in office.

Isn't he the guy that received the award for arresting a serial killer?

Yeah, that's him.

Are you also fond of him?

No way, he's just a lucky little bastard.

He even made us detectives look like incompetent losers.

Right?

Well, you're in charge of him.

I made a temporary team for cold cases.

I'll appoint you as the leader, so finish him in three months.

What do you mean by finishing him?

Make him quit the job himself!

Now I get it.

I'll finish him in one month.

No, too many people have eyes on him so don't rush it.

Should I take it slow...

Quickly?

I'll finish him slowly but quickly.

Salute!

I report that Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik

has been transferred to the Mapo Police Department!

What are you looking at?

Sit down!

Where have you been, Detective Hong?

Can you get rid of him?

Are you Oh Kyeon Sik?

Yes! I'm Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik!

Did I tell you to identify yourself? Is this the military?

Hey.

Do you know what my worst nightmare is?

It's about serving in the military again.

I have to shave my hair again and train like hell.

I wake up drenched in cold sweat.

It's scarier than ghosts or sleep paralysis.

So, don't shout your name again.

Yes, sir. It's my first day here, so I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry.

It's nothing to apologize for.

Your nightmare will start today anyway.

Hurry up!

This is the Temporary Cold Case Investigation Team's office.

How is it?

I like it!

You like it?

Are you freaking crazy...

Can't you see how messy it is?

I'll start cleaning!

Others will be coming in the afternoon.

I'm going to the Administration Department to ask for computers.

Clean the office until then.

[Murder Case in Hwa Yeo | Detective Oh]

That's not for young kids. Go there and play with your aunt.

That's not for young kids. Go there and play with your aunt.

Aren't you hungry, Kyeon Sik?

Aunt, I have something to tell you.

The suspect is a woman, and she's here.

Brother-in-law.

Was it a woman who called and made threats?

Kyeon Sik saw his mom leave home after receiving a woman's call.

What are you talking about?

He wouldn't know. He was at school at that time.

So, did a woman call?

The accomplice is a woman.

Brother-in-law.

Kyeon Sik said that woman is here.

The suspect that Detective Oh arrested was released from prison due to insufficient evidence.

After the release, the suspect murdered Detective Oh's wife.

Since then, Kyeon Sik started to gibber and suffer from dyslexia.

He thought that Kyeon Sik kept hallucinating about the scene of his mom's murder.

There's no photo of a woman here.

But you're saying that she's here?

[Ilsan Police Department]

What brings you here?

My two legs, I walked here!

I don't need a parking ticket.

The desk officer is over there.

What's the purpose of your visit?

I'm actually a police reporter.

Are you an intern reporter?

But I'm becoming a regular reporter soon.

Aren't you an auxiliary police and not a regular one?

I'm almost done with military service too.

Sign this before entering.

Hello, I'm Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik.

Oh Kyeon Sik, stop cleaning and have a seat.

I'll introduce the team members of the Cold Case Team.

This is Detective Wang.

I knew it at first sight.

He has three months until retirement, so don't cause any problems.

- Got it? - Okay!

That he is Detective Oh's son.

This is Detective Ko.

She got suspended for beating up a criminal last year.

She returned today, so try not to get on her nerves.

Her temper is shit...

Nice to meet you. I'm in your care.

And she is...

I'm sorry, but who are you?

Hello, everyone.

I'm the intern reporter for the Temporary Cold Case Investigation Team.

An intern reporter of the Temporary Cold Case Investigation Team?

Did we have a reporter?

Please read this.

[Letter of Cooperation of Intern Reporter]

An intern detective and an intern reporter.

Is this like an intern kingdom?

Whatever.

We're a team now, so let's make it work.

I'm the leader, but Detective Wang is much older than me.

So, follow his orders and learn from him.

Yes, sir.

Let's finish up cleaning for now.

Here you go, Oh Kyeon Sik.

It's your ID card.

Thank you, sir!

Why are you thanking me?

Ask for computers at the Administration Department with that ID.

Yes, sir!

We need eight computers...

Oh Kyeon Sik!

Don't you think you'll need a cart?

Oh, thank you.

- I'll take it myself. - I have nothing to do anyway. I'll go with you.

It's okay, I can go alone.

Why are you so independent?

You even walked away alone last time.

I'm sorry about last time.

Don't worry about it. It was just a little startling.

Also, thank you for helping me arrest the criminal.

Don't be, I actually used you for my safety.

Thanks to you, I'll be a full-time reporter soon.

In that case, we're square, right?

Yeah.

Then, can you stop talking to me?

What?

This is a very important chance for me.

I'm already worried about what other people think of my special employment.

I really want to do well. Sorry if I made you upset.

I'll help you.

My brother also had dyslexia, so I know how it can be fixed.

Fortunately, your dyslexia isn't as bad as my brother's.

I'd appreciate it if you do so.

But you have to help write my article.

What?

You have to look through case reports, but you can't read.

I have to write an article, but my writing is bad.

Why don't we help each other?

How can I help you?

Tell me everything about all investigations.

The more interesting, the better.

Let's do this until we both get employed full-time.

Deal?

Your hand is sweaty.

Didn't you already read through tons of case reports?

Did you find anything special?

Honestly speaking, I didn't read them. I felt them.

Detective Oh said that his son had psychometric abilities.

What great quality work.

Not bad.

I stayed up all night making this.

Look who's here?

She's the chief of this police department.

Salute!

I'm Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik!

He's really on his toes.

He's even handsome.

I'm expecting a lot from you.

- Try your best. - Yes, ma'am.

Thank you so much. I'll do my best.

All right then...

Oh, right.

Don't forget your task.

Of course, ma'am.

Bye. Do your best.

What's this?

It's the chief's present for you.

My present?

The point accrual system for an intern detective.

It'll go up or down depending on your performance.

You'll be a regular detective if you earn 20,000 points within three months.

If you go below 500 points, you're fired.

20,000 points? How do I earn points?

Look here.

15 points for cleaning the office.

30 points for cleaning the lobby.

15 points each for cleaning the bathroom or stairs.

Read the rest yourself.

Isn't that too stingy?

It's impossible to reach 20,000 points.

- Can I ask you a question? - What is it?

Do I get a gun and handcuffs for patrol?

You can buy handcuffs at a toy store.

Interns aren't allowed to arrest anyone.

Also, who do you think you are to ask for a gun?

A baton is enough for you.

How do I arrest a suspect if I meet one during patrol?

Just blow the whistle and wait for help.

Don't I have any investigational rights?

Oh my god.

What other rights does an intern need?

You already have the rights to clean this whole building.

You also have the rights to type and organize those documents.

Maybe you can help if we're short-handed.

I'll also let you drive the patrol car all day long.

That's not what detectives do.

You're just treating him as a slave.

Are you gonna stay here all day? When will you return to your office?

If you aren't happy, you can leave.

- How... - No, sir!

It's what I really want to do.

What's wrong?

Why do I feel like I'm the only bad guy here?

This is what a newcomer normally does.

Have some coffee.

- Thanks. - I've prepared all kinds of coffee.

It's not for you.

Have some coffee, sir.

- Is this for me? - Yes, sir. Enjoy.

Sit properly.

What are you doing?

I'm watering the plants.

Did you become an intern detective to water plants?

Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

I also want to chase criminals and arrest them.

But I have to learn to walk before I can run.

Let's see how many points I earned today.

I've made 300 points today.

I can be a regular detective when I reach 20,000 points.

Honestly, I'm very thankful for what I can do right now.

Aren't other companies like this too?

Not all companies are like this.

Hey, intern.

- Where are you? - Coming!

See? Everyone is looking for me now.

Damn it!

I'm not here for news about an intern detective who only cleans.

How is this a cold case investigation team? It's just cleaning.

Is this place a gym?

Or is it a shelter for the elderly?

Calm down, Reporter Lee. Anxiety isn't good for your health.

- Detective Hong? - Yes, chief.

Why is that kid so excited these days? Did something happen?

No, chief. How can he be excited over cleaning?

Did I see wrong?

Whenever I see him, I also get excited with him.

The whole building has brightened up because of him.

The more excited he looks, the lousier I feel.

What should I do?

Since he seems to have settled in, I'll soon start the task.

Start what?

Are you going to start something more exciting?

I mean I'll start him on a cold case.

Make sure you assign him a case that can never be solved.

There should be zero possibility of solving the case.

Stress him out and get him anxious over the case.

- Do you get it? - Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best.

Oh, I'm getting a headache.

Why am I getting stressed when that kid is doing all the work?

Get going now.

She'll probably come to the office with more shitty photos.

I'm going to fire her after she finishes this article.

What? Who said that?

Does Lee Min Ju really think that she can be a full-time reporter?

With her crappy writing skills?

She barely writes one article a month.

I hired her hoping that she'd at least be some help.

I didn't know she'd be this useless.

What's the name of the game?

What's the name of the game for working this hard?

You'll end up getting fired like me.

Hey! Intern!

Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik!

Stop bullshitting.

Can you buy me a drink?

Are you all right?

Isn't it too late for that question?

Do I look all right to you?

I just want to cry so hang on a little longer.

I'm on the verge of tearing up.

I'm sorry, but I have to go now.

I have duty tomorrow morning.

If you aren't going to cry, let's just go home and sleep.

Why does every guy tell me to sleep with them?

I didn't mean that.

I was an athlete until college. I didn't study.

Do you know why I became a sports reporter?

I wanted to write articles about my fellow athletes.

I didn't want to write articles about superstars.

I wanted to write about athletes who never get the spotlight despite their hard work.

All they know is to run and work hard day by day.

I just happened to quit that life halfway through.

Maybe that's why my articles are scattered and boring.

But each of their life stories is so important to me.

My friends kept running, even with broken toenails.

All I wanted to do was write a short article about my friends.

Damn it.

Hey, you know what?

Other players also run like hell, not just the goal scorer.

They run like hell until they can barely breathe.

Do you even know any of their names?

Please recognize them for their hard work.

I know one of them! Lee Min Ju!

I saw her on YouTube, running so hard like an idiot.

Did you just call me an idiot?

Hey!

Stop there! Oh Kyeon Sik!

I've paid the bill! See you tomorrow!

Who are you to pay the bill?

What does he take me for?

Detective Ko.

Where's the intern?

I told him to watch from the roof. It's dangerous down here.

Oh Kyeon Sik?

Yes, sir!

Have you ever seen a gang boss get arrested?

No, it's my first.

Yeah, that's probably right.

Watch and learn what a real detective does.

- Yes, sir. - Screw you! Don't press the wrong button!

Yes, sir.

This damn brat.

Detective Kang, is Bus 8442 coming from Chung Ju?

That's right.

That's right, Bus 8442 is from Cheong Ju.

Get it!

Where's he? Why isn't he here?

Did he run away? Are you sure this is the bus?

I'm sure of it.

Our informer saw him getting on this bus.

Well, where the heck is he?

- Should I check inside? - Hurry up!

Sir? Wake up, sir.

Doesn't this bus belong to Seoul General Transportation?

That's right, sir.

Find the person who drove this bus.

What are you talking about?

- I think he's been drugged... - Hold on.

Find the driver with the slicked-back hair!

Find the bus driver!

Excuse me, sir!

Are you the gang boss?

The gang boss is running toward the crossroad!

Get him!

Mr. Gangster!

Who the hell are you?

Stop running!

Stop there!

Who the hell are you?

I'm an intern detective.

Why is an intern arresting me?

Oh, right. I'm not allowed to use handcuffs.

A detective not allowed to use handcuffs? What the hell?

Are you a fake detective?

I told you that I'm an intern detective.

What a joke to be arrested by an intern detective.

Good job.

Come here!

- Okay... - Go ahead.

- Go and eat. - Hold him tight.

This is so hard for me to understand.

How was the gang boss able to drive the bus?

He probably drugged the actual driver and got behind the wheel.

That's not what I mean.

Why be a gang boss if he has a heavy vehicle license?

Why not just work honestly as a real bus driver?

Why don't you go ask him about when he got his license.

- Anyway, Oh Kyeon Sik. - Yes, sir.

How did you chase after him? You didn't even know his face.

That's right, how did you recognize him?

Do you know him personally?

No, sir.

His shoes were too pointy for a bus driver.

Bus drivers don't wear pointy shoes because it's hard to drive with.

How many points do you get for arresting a criminal?

I think it was 500 points.

It's 5,000 points!

That much?

Great job in arresting the gang boss.

I heard that Kyeon Sik arrested him.

- Yes, I did. - Well done.

Well, that's a first.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

Sorry about what?

Sorry for making you pay the bills when I offered to buy drinks.

Don't worry about it.

Who said you could chat in the office?

Don't forget that you guys are interns.

Excuse me, sir? You aren't my supervisor.

We'll be working our asses off from now on.

It won't be easy like this time.

Do you see all those files on the desk?

We have to investigate all of them, so brace yourself.

Don't even think about going home now.

- Do you get it? - Yes, sir!

Are you crazy?

Why are you so happy?

Oh Kyeon Sik actually canceled his rent to live here.

Didn't you see him sleeping on the sofa every day?

Oh my god.

Can I watch chess videos here?

Do as you want, sir.

I have nowhere to go either. I'm not even married like you.

We're all fine with spending the night here.

I don't even feel sleepy these days.

Guys, wait a minute.

Actually...

I think it's better not to work overnight.

Sleeping is important for good investigations.

Where are you going?

We've got so much work to do.

Damn it!

Honey?

Why do you seem so angry these days?

If I were single, I wouldn't need your permission to work overnight at the station.

I'm sorry. What nonsense did I just blabber?

What did you just say?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm sorry, but don't scream in front of the child.

How can I not scream?

Don't you remember how I broke up with you because I didn't want to marry you?

But you got me pregnant on our last trip.

What now?

You want to be single?

Fine, do as you please.

Leave!

Ye Rim, go to your room.

I'm really sorry.

Please forgive me.

What's wrong with you these days?

I'm getting a headache.

I'm disappointed with Chief Hwang.

She's a real bitch.

I heard she was notorious during college.

For eliminating her colleagues this way.

So, you'll be in trouble if you don't get rid of that intern detective?

That's right.

But the intern is working very hard.

He's even got some talent?

Didn't you also work hard and have a little talent?

Did I?

Back then, you weren't even wretched.

Why have you changed so much?

Is it because of me?

What do you mean?

Didn't Oh Kyeon Sik get hired for arresting a serial killer?

It's not like he pulled strings to get the job.

Doesn't he deserve the same opportunity as everyone else?

It's not right to obstruct his path.

Do what you think is right.

If you get fired, just be a private investigator.

Babe...

But don't intentionally get fired.

Kids grow up very quickly.

Should we have a second child before Ye Rim gets older?

Silly man.

Shower first.

Hurry up!

Where have you been?

I was cleaning another office.

You're a real hard worker.

Come and have a seat.

I want to apologize for yesterday and last time.

Let's start afresh today.

Start what?

Therapy for dyslexia. Don't want to do it?

Can you really do it?

Of course, it's better to go to the hospital.

Shall we head there? That's better for me.

No, I don't think it's right to go now.

I'd really appreciate your help.

Okay, let me recall how my brother did it.

We need something easy and fun to read.

When you read, I'll help by showing visual images of the words

and teach phonics by connecting letters with sounds.

I can search for images on my phone.

But what should we read?

Let's read the investigation reports.

That would work.

Which one should we choose?

Let's read this one.

Let's start reading now.

Investigation report of rape and murder in Seong Ok.

Seong Ok is just a district name.

Rape is...

Let's read something else.

Child abuse by one's father?

Oh my god.

Het, let's not read investigation reports.

Don't you have other things to read?

Why not? Are the words too hard?

The words aren't hard.

But how am I supposed to show you an image of such things?

It's making me feel nauseous.

But I really have to read it. What should we do?

Isn't there any other way?

How the hell would I know?!

I'll help if you bring fairytale books!

Why are you mad at me?

Guys, gather here.

Choose one.

Pardon me?

I said to choose our first official investigation case.

Choose any case here.

I said choose one! Stop being greedy.

Oh Kyeon Sik chose the case that his father and I investigated.

She's been missing for 30 years. How are we supposed to find her?

- But why are you smiling? - Don't mind me.

It's totally impossible to solve this case.

Choose another case that can be solved before I retire.

I want to see Kyeon Sik become a formal detective before I retire.

No, sir.

Let's work on this case. It's perfect.

All right.

Find the missing person by any means.

Yes, sir.

- Is he working alone? - Yeah.

Well, what do we do?

We'll organize these case files.

I'll go with him. I have nothing to do here.

Do as you please, sir. Get some fresh air.

Oh Kyeon Sik, do you think you can solve the case?

Yes, sir. I think I can find the missing person.

Oh, really?

Why do you always answer so easily?

I'll have to work really hard to solve the case.

But, I feel like I can solve it. I'll get going now.

Detective Wang?

Yeah?

I answered with confidence not to feel intimidated.

I actually don't know what to do first.

I knew it.

The first thing to do in an investigation is to accept what you don't know.

You have to know what you don't know.

I'll keep that in mind, sir.

What do we don't know the most right now?

The whereabouts of the missing person.

Nope.

The feelings of the victim's family.

Let's visit them first.

If Oh Kyeon Sik really has psychometric abilities like what Detective Oh said,

wouldn't he be able to find new clues about the missing person?

I'm kind of worried.

30 years have passed. They might be fine and living their lives now.

Are you sure we won't be opening old wounds?

We can never know the feelings of the victim's family.

A part of their heart is frozen at the moment of the incident.

May I ask who you are?

We're detectives from Ilsan Police Department.

Are you Kim Sook Hee's mother?

Yes, I am.

- Did you find... - No, ma'm.

We came to ask a few questions.

Oh...

Please come inside.

[Looking for a missing child]

Oh, dear me.

[Please help find Sook Hee]

Please have a drink.

I'm sorry if you were on your way out.

Don't worry.

I was going for a walk in the park, but I'll go later.

Do you go to the park every day?

I heard that you lost your daughter at the park.

That's right.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

I know it's hard for you.

But could you please explain what happened that day?

Of course, I can.

I can explain it hundreds and thousands more times.

My husband passed away when Sook Hee was young.

So, I had to work every day to make a living.

I worked as a janitor in the day and a housekeeper at night.

I was just fortunate enough to have this house to live in.

At that time, I lived together with my husband's mother and younger sister.

I had no choice but to work all day to support the family.

One day when I returned from work, my mother-in-law was scolding my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law was doing nothing but crying.

She had taken Sook Hee to the park and lost her there.

The past 20 years of agony for the victim's family shouldn't be repeated again.

[Looking for a missing child]

Oh Kyeon Sik tackled his dyslexia by visualizing the meanings of sentences and memorizing them.

He also gained the ability to imagine an incident scene by reading an investigation report.

Yet, Oh Kyeon Sik's ability could not be scientifically proven.

What should we do now?

Should we meet other family members for more clues?

This is why simple cases are more difficult.

The mother-in-law has passed away and the sister was too young at that time.

I'm sure that the detectives already looked for witnesses 20 years ago.

Is that bench where the sister lost Sook Hee?

Kyeon Sik, are you okay?

Kyeon Sik!

How do you feel?

Where am I?

The hospital.

Don't you remember fainting before the bench?

I'll go get Detective Wang.

There's no need to.

Min Ju, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

This might sound crazy, but I think I can find Kim Sook Hee.

It does sound crazy.

But you have to help me.

How are you going to find her?

I think you should get well first.

Are you suffering from an illness?

I'm not sure about that, but I have a secret.

A secret that I can't tell anyone.

- Reporter Lee. - Yes?

Why are you outside?

- How about Kyeon Sik? - He's awake. You can go in.

Did he?

It was a kidnapping due to willful negligence.

What?

At first, the culprit...

The culprit's plan was to kidnap Sook Hee and raise her.

However, the culprit got afraid after actually kidnapping her.

The culprit didn't know how to explain the situation to the family, and the child kept crying.

So, the culprit sent Sook Hee to an orphanage far from their house to avoid apprehension.

The orphanage is in Gang Neung.

Please go there for me and don't tell anyone from the station.

I don't know how you came up with this.

Let's say that I went to the orphanage and asked about a child from 30 years ago.

Do you think this will really work?

There is a document about Sook Hee at the orphanage.

Sook Hee's temporary name on the document is...

Park Soon Ae.

We can find her.

She was adopted to America, but she came back to find her biological parents.

What are you...

Are you writing a novel?

You can judge whether this is just a novel for yourself.

Why are you so happy?

I'm just enjoying the peace.

The point board hasn't gone up for days.

That's because the intern hasn't been in the office.

That's what I'm saying.

I hope he doesn't come back forever.

What should we have for lunch?

Hello?

What's up, Intern Reporter Lee?

How are you doing?

What?

What did you just say?

You found the missing person?

What kind of bullshit is that? Put Oh Kyeon Sik on the phone.

Did they really find the missing person?

Oh my god.

What's this nonsense?

How can you find someone who was missing for 30 years in just a few days?

Are you playing games with me?

I'll be there right away. Don't do anything.

I'm telling you, don't do anything!

In fact, Detective Oh had once told me about a missing person named Park Soon Ae.

When did you guys come?

Hello, ma'am.

Why didn't you wait inside?

I'm sorry, but my leader told me to wait here.

Oh Kyeon Sik found his scribble of the name "Park Soon Ae" inside his father's investigation notes.

Then, Min Ju found the person with the name "Park Soon Ae".

Does psychometric ability come from eagerness?

Are you Sook Hee?

Mom?

You're Sook Hee, right?

Yes, you are!

You're Sook Hee! I can tell!

What are you doing here, Oh Kyeon Sik?

Didn't you tell me to wait?

Why did you hit him?

- Are you really... - Sook Hee.

Is she really your daughter?

Yes, she is. I can tell.

I can also tell that she's my mom.

Please calm down and think carefully.

You lost Sook Hee when she was three years old, right?

It's been 30 years, how can you recognize her right away?

Let's do a DNA test or something to make sure she's really your daughter.

Do you remember any of her characteristics?

She has a mole on her belly.

She has a mole that looks like the Big Dipper.

Look here.

She has a mole?

Why does she have a mole? Why is there a mole on her belly?

Calm down, Detective Hong. What's all the fuss about?

He has solved a case once again.

He has solved a cold case and reunited a mother and daughter after 30 years.

Could you explain more in detail?

It was a coincidence. I was lucky.

My team leader told me to find the missing person for the first official investigation of the team.

Well done, Lee Min Ju!

I knew you would hit the jackpot once again.

Aren't you my college alumnus?

Boss, I'm not.

I studied at a college of physical education.

That's not important!

What's important is that I love you, and you're now a full-time reporter!

No, sir. I'm quitting my job.

What the hell are you talking about?

I got scouted by another publishing company.

I'll head there and learn everything properly from scratch.

The way to write articles with my hands, not my feet.

It was a coincidence. I was lucky.

My team leader told me to find the missing person for the first official investigation of the team.

Call in Chief Hwang.

Detective Hong.

Yes, chief?

I was supposed to get promoted after firing the intern detective.

But I guess I'm getting demoted now.

Can you explain what happened?

Actually...

I didn't choose this case.

I did nothing in solving the case.

Kyeon Sik is lying on television to make me look good.

He's the one who chose this case himself.

So, you're saying that you can't handle him?

Well, fire him right now.

How can I fire someone doing so well?

Did I tell you to help him do well?

I told you to ruin him, but he's doing well.

Deduct 20,000 points for not following instructions.

Just fire him.

I'm leaving now.

Kyeon Sik did nothing wrong.

He's not getting fired for doing something wrong.

You can also get fired if you're too good.

Do you want me to get rid of the whole team?

My team successfully solved the first official investigation.

If you do anything to my team, I will speak in front of the media.

We even have our own reporter.

Detective Hong, are you out of your mind?

Besides, Oh Kyeon Sik is my team member.

If you fire my team member, I won't sit back.

Detective Hong.

Hong Gyung Man.

I'm Hwang Geum Hee.

Do you think you can handle this?

- Chief. - What?

I'll see you again soon.

- Get out! - Yes, I will.

When did you come?

Just now. Sleep a little more since you're tired.

It's okay, I have to finish cleaning.

I have something for you.

Is this for me?

That book is about a rabbit committing serial murder.

The other book is about a stepmother abusing her child.

Thank you so much.

If you're thankful, come drink with me.

I'll treat you for real this time.

Deal!

Why do look so happy today?

I quit my intern job today.

What?

Why did you quit?

I got scouted as an intern at another company.

They offered me a better wage, so I'm going over.

You're really riding high.

How about you? Didn't you get any offers?

The police are the police. There isn't anywhere else.

Is that so?

By the way, why are you so bent on becoming a police officer?

Oh, right. You said that your father used to be a detective.

You must've loved your dad loads to dream of being in the same job as him.

Not really.

I wanted to solve the cold cases that my father told me about.

I actually hated my dad.

After my mom passed away, my dad drank every day.

After a few years, he also passed away when I was in middle school.

Since then, I thought of becoming a police officer.

I wanted to catch the person who made my mom and dad die.

So, you resembled your dad as much as you hated him.

Would you feel better if you arrested the culprit and dragged him to court?

I think you're misunderstanding something.

I'm not as honest as you think I am.

What do you mean?

I'm going to kill him.

With no hesitation.

A police officer shouldn't do that.

What will happen to you after that?

I never thought about what will happen next.

I'll get going first.

Can you bring me the report of the Seong Ok murder case?

- Okay, sir. - Quickly.

Here you go, sir.

What's wrong, Detective Hong?

Is there any problem?

Our team...

We're not a temporary team anymore.

[Cold Case Investigation Team]

We're now a regular team of the police.

The nameplate looks nice.

- Oh Kyeon Sik. - Yes, sir!

- Are you happy? - Yes, sir!

We'll be bombarded with the entire country's cold cases. Still happy?

- Oh Kyeon Sik. - Yes, sir! Intern Detective Oh Kyeon Sik here!

You're no longer an intern.

Is Kyeon Sik also a formal detective?

Not really, but...

I heard a new employment program was established.

A resident detective?

- A resident? - Here you go.

I already bought one at a toy shop.

The more the better.

Thank you, sir!

- Congratulations, Kyeon Sik! - Thank you, sir!

- I have to change my ID. - Go ahead.

Look here.

Where are the keys?

I don't know!

It's okay, sir! Thank you so much!

You finally look like a real police officer.
