I'm a cop.

Did you not hear?

I'm a cop. Drop your weapon!

Stop right there, you rat!

I just fired two blanks.

The next one is a real bullet.

Drop your weapons.

Put your hands behind your head
and lean against the car.

Where's Choi Ro-hee?

You bastard, are you upset or what?

Stop staring!

Tell us what you know...

at the station.

Damn it.

I found you, you mole.

Get out.

I knew something was off.

A kidnapper calls a rookie attorney

who's a contract employee?

I know you knew Ro-hee in the past,
but it's too out of the blue.

After all, I have Ro-hee.

I knew you would've gotten help.

So I was certain

that there was a mole.

A woman with a calm voice.

I knew it sounded familiar.

Why didn't I suspect you first?

All right. It's my fault.

Since you have to find out

the drug that Choi Ro-hee was constantly
injected with and the virus chart,

I'll keep you alive for the time being.

Tell me why you should live.

Time is ticking.

- Damn.
- You missed.

You said you were good at shooting.

- Of course, in a game.
- Are you...

- What...
- Then you shoot!

Are you telling a kid to use a gun?

Drop the gun, Jackson.

It's "Jaden."

- Right, Jason.
- It's "Jaden"!

It's Jaden?

What a confusing name.

Both of us are pointing guns

and you're telling me to drop it?

That's why I brought this.

Hey, it's dangerous. Give it to them!

Can't win now, can you?

Drop the gun.

Dr. Mo.

All right, it's your turn to talk.

Why should we let you live?

Nothing to say, right?

You think human lives
are worthless, don't you?

Tomorrow morning,

you'll go to the police station with us.

We should pay for what we've done.

You and I both.

I don't know what you want,

but you better give up.

From this moment on,

Ro-hee isn't a subject
of an experiment anymore.

How idealistic.

Goodness.

Do you know how much Dr. Choi Jin-tae
received for this experiment?

How much money do you think
has been invested until now?

I told you, didn't I?

That money is the most violent and harsh.

You think getting rid of me
will be the end of this?

Yes!

I'm going to end this.

Ro-hee will live
as an ordinary 11-year-old girl.

That's the only thing I can do
as her kidnapper.

You...

What was it?

JJ.

What was his name?

Jaden.

Right, Jaden.

If you mess with Ro-hee again like this,

then...

I'll make sure

that you can't move again.

Got it, you bastard?

Let's not make things complicated.

- Gosh, you talk too much.
- If you...

- Wait.
- What is it?

You just need to press this.

There's a villa we can go to nearby.

It's run by an old couple,
so it'll be safe. Let's head there.

Okay.

- Ro-hee, get in.
- Okay.

Is this the right thing to do?

To publicize everything.

Starting tomorrow,
I won't be by Ro-hee's side.

Ro-hee's safety is my priority.

Things might get more dangerous
for Ro-hee.

She'll draw the world's attention,

and those who invested
in this experiment through Jaden

may cause harm to Ro-hee.

Bad things may happen,
and things may not go as planned.

But the Ro-hee I know

will stay strong in any situation.

She can't live like this forever.

I just have to trust her.

And you and Attorney Choi.

CHAPTER 8. THE FIRST CHILD

BASED ON THE NOVEL
THE DAY OF KIDNAPPING BY JEONG HAE-YEON

Name.

Not even going to say your name?

We've met before, twice at that.

A cop caught you at the scene,

kidnapping a victim of a kidnapping,

and hiding away
a kidnapper who was arrested.

An attorney won't be enough for you.

You'd probably need divine intervention.

Damn it.

Those bastards won't talk either,
and they have nothing on them.

I've looked into the evidence.

The first stack is cash,
and the rest are pieces of paper.

What game are you playing?

You negotiated a ransom for a dead kid.

What do you mean, dead?

Right, I'm sorry.

I guess you learned what
pleading the Fifth is from the movies,

but you guys can't leave
since we caught you red-handed.

Staying silent won't change anything

VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 1

Lock him up and file a warrant.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Hello, this is Park Sang-yun.

This is Kim Myeong-jun.

You...

Where are you right now?
What are you doing?

I called you to ask you a favor.

I don't think you're in the position
to ask for favors.

Where's Choi Ro-hee?

She's alive and well. Don't worry.

Well...

I called you...

because I need your help.

Go ahead.

A negotiation...

will be made for Ro-hee today.

Ro-hee...

will negotiate with her family.

What are you talking about?

Why would she do that?

Those who are paying the ransom for Ro-hee

want to make the public believe
that Ro-hee is dead.

And they're the ones
who locked me and Ro-hee up.

Please arrest them.

Then I'll get Ro-hee out of here safely.

But one thing.

You have to do this alone.

Why?

I think there's a mole in the force.

How can I believe you?

You know my daughter, Hee-ae, right?

Tomorrow is her surgery.

I'm thinking of turning myself in

after I see her get out of surgery.

I'll go to the hospital.

But before that...

I need to take Ro-hee to a safe place.

I'll turn myself in...

after that.

Tell me...

what your favor is.

Hello?

Sir, I got some midnight snacks.

It's your favorite, jokbal.

Okay.

RECENTS
RESTRICTED NUMBER

Jeez, what am I doing?

Good morning, Dr. Mo.

Are you letting me go or killing me?

Leave immediately.

You know I can't.

If you set me free,
only a few people would die.

If you don't, then we might all die.

If you leave, I'll set you free.

Or else, you'll die.

Criticize me all you want.

But this is a choice for everyone.

The most important thing is to prevent
Dr. Choi's research from being publicized.

You don't want Ro-hee to be
everyone's spectacle, do you?

Come on, why would I criticize you?

I'm also a parent.

By the way, what's her name?

Your daughter's name.

Byeol.

I see.

Byeol.

It's pretty.

My daughter's name is Kim Hee-ae,

like the actress.

I saw Byeol last time,
and she's very pretty.

Byeol is lucky

to have a mom who's a doctor.

She must be proud.

Hee-ae was a late talker.

Everyone in her preschool started talking,

but Hee-ae couldn't.

Gosh, I was so anxious back then.

In hindsight,

those worries were pointless.

Are you trying to teach me?

No.

Not at all.

I'm just envious.

Hee-ae...

loved playing.

She never read books
and always watched TV.

And when she went to the playground,
she wouldn't come back home.

But now,

I wouldn't care if she watched TV all day

and ran around the playground for days.

I just...

want her to get back on her feet.

You should go.

I'll take Jackson.

I'm sorry to say this.

Ms. Mo.

I think it'd be wise for you to send Byeol
to a normal kindergarten.

Why? What concerns you?

Byeol was a healthy and bright child.

But it seems like
she's getting weaker these days.

Could you please take extra care of her?

All our classes

are taught in English.

But Byeol has trouble keeping up.

She says she hates speaking English.

She lost interest
because she can't understand it,

so it's harder for her
to hang out with her friends.

I'll pay you extra.

Please.

Honestly speaking,

Byeol is slower than other kids.

The results show that she has
low cognitive abilities and hyperactivity.

If you're worried, come to our facility.

She'll get better if she keeps drawing
and hanging out with the kids here.

All right.

I'll see you soon.

Byeol.

Byeol.

Hey, Park Sang-yun!

Where were you all night?

What's with those guys who are locked up?

I caught them red-handed
negotiating for Choi Ro-hee.

What?

Choi Ro-hee is alive.

Are those guys the kidnappers?

I'll have to dig into it.
The warrant will be issued soon.

Don't leave anything behind
and take everything!

- What are you doing?
- Take the pictures!

- This is another case!
- Back up!

This is another case!

- You can't take this!
- Back off!

What are you doing?!

Sang-yun.

What's going on?

We're here to take over
the kidnapping case.

Come on, you should've
given us a call beforehand.

We're taking care of that case.

We arrested the prime suspects last night.

News travels slowly around here.

The warrant was rejected.

- What?
- Take everything!

- Yes, sir.
- Hey, don't move.

This is an obstruction of justice.

We're both civil servants,
and you're also obstructing justice.

You people here
really don't care about ranks, do you?

What did you say?

Hey! What's your rank, you bastard?

- You rude bastard!
- Seriously.

This is an order
from the commissioner general!

Have some manners
if you're visiting another station!

I ask for your cooperation.

- Take everything!
- Hey!

Stop them!

- Hey!
- Stop, you bastard!

- Damn it!
- You bastards!

Everyone, stop!

The first thing you do at work is fight?

It hasn't even been 12 hours
since I arrested them.

How can the warrant be rejected
when they had the ransom?

When an order comes down,
you have to follow it.

You guys are a bunch of troublemakers.

Who gave this order?

Are you interrogating me?

This isn't the first time
things have been unfair and dirty.

Why can't you let go of this?

Choi Ro-hee, who was apparently
thrown into the sea, is alive.

And we caught them
with the ransom on the scene.

So how can you let them go right away?

Who says Choi Ro-hee is alive?

Who says that money
was Choi Ro-hee's ransom?

Who gave you the tip?

Kim Myeong-jun.

What?

What about his number? Did you track it?

He's going to turn himself in.

Today is Kim Myeong-jun's
daughter's surgery.

He's going to the hospital
with Choi Ro-hee.

Damn it. Why would you tell us that now?

The murder and the kidnapping case

can be both concluded at once.

How do you trust him
to turn himself in with Choi Ro-hee?

And also,

how do you trust the statement
that Dr. Choi and his father

conducted experiments on children?

A victim testified.

How do you trust that victim?

They are all circumstantial!

And that victim has a close relationship
with the murderer,

and she's also the kidnapper's wife.

Sir, I'll make sure to bring...

Kim Myeong-jun and Choi Ro-hee in today.

Please trust me this once.

Why can't you civil servants
just follow orders?

You two better be ready
to give me your badges

if you do something I can't cover.

I need solid evidence.

If you talk without solid evidence,

I can't protect you two.

You still up for this?

Yes, sir.

- Hello?
- It's me.

Where are you?

On my way to Seoul.

Are you done?

I have some questions
and things I want to confirm.

But Hee-ae's surgery comes first,
so come to the hospital.

I'll be there.

Don't tell me you forgot
it was her surgery today.

I didn't forget.
I was getting ready to go.

But there will be cops at the hospital.

I know.

I'm on my way to turn myself in.

What about Ro-hee?

She's coming with me.

I have until today.

I'll end everything today.

Make sure you come.

If you don't,

I won't let it slide.

What?

This is what we get
for working so hard last night?

What can we do?
It's an order from the higher-ups.

What on earth is going on?

Where's Detective Park?

He's downstairs.

Let's go.

Hey.

You really had divine intervention.

You must think the world is a joke

since you're protected
despite all your illegal activities.

I'll see you again.

And I'll make sure
to wipe that smile off your face.

That damn bastard.

I don't like the look in your eyes.

Should we go after them?

Kim Myeong-jun comes first.

- Let's get ready.
- But sir.

About last night and this situation,

why won't you tell us
who's tipping you off?

Do you not trust us?

I don't even trust myself.

Get ready.

Yes, sir.

You must be nervous.

Sorry?

Right.

The surgery will go well.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Are you going to go wearing that?

What?

You're going to the hospital
to see your daughter.

Are you going to dress like that?

I can't tell
if you're wearing clothes or a rag.

What's wrong with this?

The smell? It's fine.

Attorney Choi,
let's go get some clothes for him.

Okay.

- I'll bring a size bigger.
- Okay.

How do I look?

Well, it's better
than that rag you were wearing.

I've never worn a suit in front of her.

What if she doesn't recognize me
because I look too cool?

You don't look that great, so don't worry.

Right?

You guessed it.

He's my kidnapper,

and I'm the victim.

Sorry?

Hey!

I'm on my way to turn myself in.

- No need to be scared.
- Sorry?

Wait...

Are you okay?

Gosh, she must be shocked!

Goodness, take a deep breath.

- You don't seem okay. Look at me.
- What?

Oh no, you look even more pale.

Take a deep breath.

ES HOSPITAL

During the rounding, make sure to...

Hello, Dr. Mo.

I'm sorry for being absent so often
when things are busy these days.

Not at all.

Right, you have a guest in your office.

A guest?

You'll be happy to see them.

Mom!

How did you...

Where are they?

We parted ways this morning.

Call him.

You're eating so well.

There's shrimp, so take it out, okay?

Ro-hee likes Chinese food.

I see.

It's not that I like Chinese food.
I like the food here.

This is the first time eating here, right?

I'd take the food to-go at times
when I taught her

since Ro-hee couldn't leave the house.

I see.

It's really good.

Gosh, you have a sophisticated palate too.

You should eat. You must be hungry.

I will. Thank you.

DR. MO EUN-SUN

Yes, Dr. Mo.

Us?

Not yet. We're still eating.

This place?

CHEONGDAM-DONG SACHEONGUNG

Are you coming?

No, well...

I wanted to ask one more time

if you can let Jaden go.

That's not something for me to decide.

Okay.

I guess she's still torn about Jaden.

After all, people move solely
for their own goals.

Anyway, can you defend us in court?

That's my job.

Not for me, but for him.

Me?

The victim's attorney

can't defend the perpetrator.

Get him the best attorney you can find.

I can pay however much they want.

By the way,

why is this restaurant so empty?

It's weird.

We rented the whole restaurant.

The whole place?

Don't be surprised.

Ro-hee paid for it.

Just how rich are you?

Can you calculate it?

Somewhat.

As for real estate,
there's Dr. Choi's house.

Then there are his hospital shares,
bonds, foreign bonds,

market shares, and savings.

It adds up to around 120 billion won.

What?

Did you say 120 billion won?!

By the way,

how much were you going to ask
as my ransom?

Fifty million won.

That's a blow to my pride.

All I needed was the money
for Hee-ae's surgery.

Ro-hee, do you want
to take a look at this?

What is it?

I'm going through Dr. Choi's emails,

and he created a wallet

in a cryptocurrency exchange in Singapore.

It doesn't say how much.

But the date he created the wallet
coincides with when he met Jaden.

Jaden said yesterday

that they won't sit around
since my dad received a lot of money.

Among his financial assets,
the biggest investments

were the 10 billion won
from the Korean investors.

So this is where his foreign money
came through.

Look into it.

Okay.

Aren't we too focused on money
when your dad died?

You won't be with me anymore,

so the only thing
that can protect me is money.

The last time you brought food
from this place...

was the day before the incident.

No wonder I refused to eat
that unpleasant white thing you made.

My body refused it on its own
since I had luxurious food just before.

All right. Just keep eating.

Ro-hee, hold on.

According to your mom's
credit card records,

she came here on May 19th.

What?

Really?

It can't be.

The day before is the 20th.

Are you sure you kidnapped me on the 21st?

Of course.

How could I forget?

Choi Ro-hee witnessed the incident.

We only have
Park Cheol-won's statement for now,

but we'll have more information
when we compare his with Ro-hee's.

What time is the surgery again?

He's coming for sure, right?

Don't worry.

All right. Listen carefully.

I'm on the verge of getting fired here.

You think it's enough with you four?
You want me to request backup?

It's fine.
Kim Myeong-jun won't cause a scene.

We'll quietly bring him here
after her surgery.

Okay.

Let's do it!

- We'll be back.
- Yes, sir.

All right.

- We'll get going.
- Okay.

Go on.

I assumed that things went awry
since you didn't call.

I knew you'd get yourself out of it.

Did the boss pull some strings?

Gosh, he's one amazing stud.

Hey.

We're going to the operating unit.

Hee-ae is going to the operating unit.

Kim Myeong-jun isn't here yet.

Over there.

Can I go buy that teddy bear?

I won't be seeing for a while after today,

so I don't want to go empty-handed.

Sure, I'll go get the car.

I'll wait outside then.

Okay.

You want one too?

I don't need one.

Hurry back.

Okay.

- I'll take that one.
- Okay.

Thank you.

- Attorney Choi.
- Yes?

I can't seem to remember
what happened on the 20th.

Why is that?

How can I not remember that one day?

Maybe it's because
your memories aren't fully back yet.

It doesn't add up

because I clearly remember the 19th,
which is when I had Chinese food.

And the 21st,
which is when I got kidnapped.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

I won't pass out.

No!

Attorney Choi.

Attorney Choi...

Attorney Choi!

Attorney Choi.

Attorney Choi!

Kim Myeong-jun!

Kim Myeong-jun! Hurry up!

Attorney Choi!

Kim Myeong-jun!

Kim Myeong...

Attorney Choi!

Ro-hee!

Goodness.

Attorney Choi!

My goodness.

Phone.

A man was stabbed!

This is the parking lot of Sacheongung!

It's Cheongdam-dong! Yes!

Please hurry!

Thank you.

Hold on.

Where's Ro-hee?

Hang on.

Ro-hee.

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Damn it.

- The entrance?
- Not yet.

Excuse me. Is the surgery starting?

- What about her guardian?
- She's here.

I told you getting rid of me
won't end this.

Leave Ro-hee here!

You should go first.

I'll send her to you
when she becomes useless.

Let me ask you a question.

What is Choi Ro-hee to you?

Why are you throwing yourself
to protect her?

Is it for money?

We can give you that too, you know?

You should act smart.

You bastard!

I told you

I'd make sure that you can't move
if you touch her again.

Where is she?

You bastard.

Ro-hee.

You can't take Ro-hee.

Ro-hee.

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Gosh, this is driving me nuts.

Any news on the first floor?

Nothing here.

Is he not coming?

Ju-hyeok, have you seen him?

Not yet, sir.

- Are you Hee-ae's guardian?
- Yes.

The surgery went well.

Thank you.

Let's keep an eye on her recovery.

- Thank you.
- Goodbye.

I'm glad it went well.

Thank you.

Did Mr. Kim Myeong-jun call by any chance?

This afternoon.

He said he'd come to the hospital.

Has he called you since then?

Did he call you on a public phone?

No, it was a cell phone.

- Here.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Hello, this is Park Sang-yun from...

Where is he?

A hospital?

I'm the detective who called earlier.

Right, this way.

He was bleeding heavily
due to a stab wound in the abdomen.

He's stable now.

I see.

- Hey.
- It happened here, all right.

He broke the CCTV as well.

The CCTV? Who?

That bastard we let go this morning.

- Where's Kim Myeong-jun?
- He disappeared.

Damn it.

He's damn tough, isn't he?

What should we do with her?

Just leave her be.

We'll take her to Russia like this.

VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 1

The disciplinary meeting
will be held tomorrow.

Go home and rest.

Go home.

Good work today, everyone.

Where are you going?

Home.

The door has opened.

Look at you.

What happened?

What about Hee-ae?

The surgery went well.

Why are you alone?

What about Ro-hee?

I lost her.

What?

Where? How?

Don't worry.

I'll find her again.

I thought everything would be over today.

I thought...

Ro-hee would go back to where she was,

and I would see...

Hee-ae go into the operating unit.

I didn't care...

what happened to me

if I could make that happen.

Damn it.

I want to die.

Why would you die?

You have Hee-ae.

Hee-ae's in the recovery room,

so let's go to the hospital tomorrow
and see her.

Then go to the police station after.

The best thing to do for Hee-ae
is for you to turn yourself in

and end everything.

What's your relationship...

with Ro-hee's dad's murderer?

He's the one...

who gave me the scar on my neck.

What?

Don't tell me...

What?

What are you getting at?

I didn't.

I may have told you to kidnap Ro-hee,

but I never told someone to commit murder.

So don't worry.

You should rest for now.

Let's go see Hee-ae

first thing tomorrow.

After I find Ro-hee.

Turn yourself in first!

Until when are you going
to neglect Hee-ae?

No, Dr. Choi.

You've never stabbed someone before,
have you?

- Stab me. I'll stand still.
- No, sir.

Go ahead, Mr. Park.

Stab me, you bastard...

There was no money.
I only found strange documents.

Documents?

I heard there were documents in the safe.

But I don't see them.

What documents?

Mr. Park Cheol-won broke into the house

and only found documents
when he opened the safe.

So he turned back and left the room.

I was wondering if you kept them.

No, we didn't find any documents.

If there was something in the safe,
I'm sure we would've kept it.

Right?

Thank you.

CHOI RO-HEE RECORD

Hey.

What brings you here at this hour?

We overlooked something at the scene.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

Goodness.

This is why I hate working
with sleepless people.

- There are more here.
- Okay.

When will I look through all of them?

How much time do I have?

There isn't much time.
The disciplinary meeting is tomorrow.

Is this your last dance
before you turn in your badge?

Is there anything I can help you with?

Can you read these?

- I'll go get coffee.
- Plus two energy drinks.

Yes, ma'am.

COME TO THE HOSPITAL!

Hey!

It must be nice.

Look at you sleeping like a baby
when you're about to turn your badge in.

I'm sorry.

Did you find anything?

Yes.

These are records that were written
since Dr. Choi Dong-eok's time.

Just as Seo Hye-eun said in her statement,

he tried to artificially amplify

brain functions using medical technology.

Most children were research subjects,
not experimental subjects.

Only two children
were the subjects of his experiment.

What's the difference?

Well...

Although MRI scans were already being used
in the United Kingdom since the 1970s,

we officially started using them
in Korea in 1988.

He used them in his personal research.

His methodology was simple.

He matched the children's IQ

and the result
of that children's MRI scan.

But as for experimental subjects,
it's quite cruel.

He injected...

genetically modified viruses
into the subject's brain to stimulate it.

I think he tried to expand
the hippocampus,

which plays a major role in memory.

It's risky,
thus it was called an experiment.

I think that's why he faked an adoption
to run experiments on Seo Hye-eun.

Then did Choi Jin-tae
undergo the same experiment?

No. Choi Jin-tae
has always been intelligent.

Here.

Look. His IQ was 152.

Many were against

Dr. Choi Dong-eok's experiment
in the academic community.

They wanted to stop him at all costs.

So he had no choice
but to stop the experiment.

As a result,

I think he tried to find his successor

by adopting a bright child from the start.

Let's see.

This is the research record
that Choi Jin-tae wrote.

But his records stop

when Ro-hee becomes two years old.

- Why?
- I don't know.

I think he kept the records
in another place.

Where could he have kept it?

The kidnapping and the murder

may all be happening
to take control of this experiment.

Probably.

By the way,

they demanded 30 billion won
for Choi Ro-hee?

That's surprisingly little.

Last night,
I lost the kid and the kidnapper.

The kidnapper,
who was clueless about all this,

got involved in a big fight.

The kidnapper. I told you, right?

Only two children
were experimental subjects.

Yes.

The candidate of the experimental subject
before Seo Hye-eun.

The first child.

Kim Myeong-jun from Hope Orphanage.

Choi Jin-tae?

The kid who was a candidate
of the experimental subject grew up

and kidnapped
the complete product of the experiment.

Are you saying
Kim Myeong-jun intentionally kidnapped

and murdered Choi Ro-hee?

If you turn yourself in
and be cooperative,

the cops will find Ro-hee.

Why did you come here?

I have to find Ro-hee,
but I have nowhere to go.

When people find out Ro-hee is a genius,

she'll become an animal in the zoo.

What do I have to doto prevent people
from falling into more danger?

Show them what they want.

Where's Park Sang-yun?

If grown-ups' twisted desires
are what's making Ro-hee suffer,

I should save her.

Why are you going so far?

I need to keep my promise.

Where are you, Mr. Kim?
