Why is the door open?

What's this stench?

Ma'am.

Gosh, the smell.

Sir.

Sir.

Why is the heater on so high?

What on earth is this smell?

Goodness, why is this on the floor?

My gosh!

You have arrived at your destination.

Ending navigation.

Goodness.

Did you not go home yesterday again?

I prefer sleeping at the station.

I'm too bothered to commute to work.

How is it that you still look clean
like you've been home?

Why didn't you go home?

I came from home.

What?

I got off on time yesterday.

It's going to take a while
to investigate a house this big.

Hello, I'm Kim Ju-hyeok.

-Hey, rookie.
-Yes, sir.

Hey, look into the CCTV

that's been torn off there.

Sorry?

Yes, sir.

He's the owner of this house.

He's Director Choi Jin-tae
of Hyekwang Hospital.

He's a well-known brain specialist.
He was even on TV.

The scene has been pretty well preserved.

An uncanny posture, don't you think?

But this isn't all.

Come over here.

This room was heated to expose the body
to high temperatures.

Her whole body is bloated
due to the gas that's been emitted

from the bacterization in her organs.

What's piercing her chest?

A paper knife.

A paper knife.

It's as if these two deaths
are from two different cases.

We're guessing she's Ms. So Jin-yu,
Dr. Choi Jin-tae's wife.

Her body was severely decomposed
to the point she was hardly recognizable.

But the witness recognized
the necklace and the bracelet

and realized it was Ms. So.

-Where's the witness?
-Outside.

Damn it!

What happened?

Damn it.

I need to call her.

Pick up.

Why aren't you picking up? Damn it!

It's okay.

I need to calm down.

Think.

All right.

Damn it!

What?

CHAPTER 2. FALSE ACCUSATION

-What's going on?
-Why is the police car here?

Is there anyone
who may be holding grudges against them?

Based on my experience with them,
they're not the type to have enemies.

I mean, they were well-off.

Were there no frequent visitors?

Apart from their families,

no one else visited them.

Mr. Choi was always obsessed with work,

and Ms. So rarely went out.

Did you find anything strange
other than the fact that

the heater in the study was turned up?

Well...

Other than the decoration
that was on the floor...

I'm not sure.

I was panicking,
so I couldn't look around.

One more thing.

I saw the family photo in the living room
and it seems like they have a daughter.

Have you not seen her?

Ro-hee.

Ro-hee's not here!

Hey!

Right here.

What?

What the...

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae!

Hee-ae!

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Damn it.

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

This is a room
of an 11-year-old kid, right?

I don't see any children's items.

Tell me about it.

Just looking at the shelf gives me chills.

Sir, I looked around,
and there were no signs of a child.

But...

But what?

There's something strange.

Gosh, what's this?

I thought you only
see things like this in movies.

What's all this?

Did he perform surgeries here?

Who knows?

It's like a whole hospital in here.

BRAIN RESEARCH WEEK
DIRECTOR CHOI JIN-TAE

Sir.

I called the security company,

and they removed all the CCTVs
four days ago.

They removed them?

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Hey.

Have you seen a girl about this tall?

I'm not sure.

Would there be anyone living here
except for you and me?

Well, that's true.

Anyway, thank you.

Good luck searching.

Excuse me.

Hey, stop!

Damn it.

Who are you?

Me?

I'm a guy who collects anything of value.

Who the hell are you?!

Ro-hee!

You bastard.

Ro-hee!

You just need to bring her.

Bring her?

Kidnap her.

Hey!

Are you insane?
What do you mean kidnap her?

This is the only way

to pay for Hee-ae's hospital bill.

This isn't a solution.

You should've brought all the money
you took three years ago.

What? Kidnap?

Hey, you think that money
would've been enough?

I heard you're overdue
for more than ten million won.

It's going to cost tens of millions of won
if a donor shows up.

Still, this is wrong.

What if things go wrong?

I can't go to jail
and leave Hee-ae behind.

You won't.

Her parents can't call the police
no matter what.

Why not?

They have an unbelievable amount of money.

They're also well-known,

so they wouldn't want to become
the talk of the town.

You think they'll stand around
when their kid gets kidnapped?

Yes, they will.

She's...

being abused.

What?

I still can't.

I don't want to go that far.

You're still...

not desperate, are you?

You dare talk about being desperate?

How can you say that to me

when you left your child
to live on your own?

Then what's your plan?

You think love and care
can solve everything?

Don't you need money?

Myeong-jun.

Are you sure...

you can handle

the hospital bill and surgery fee?

You said Hee-ae is your priority.

Dad.

Yes, my daughter.

Open your eyes.

I'm listening.

Come on, open your eyes.

Are you going to sleep here?

Wake up.

What?

I said wake up.

What a relief!

Thank goodness.

Have you lost your mind?

This happened
because you left a kid alone!

I'm sorry.

Are you okay? Are you not hurt?

We'll know when we get to the hospital.

Where's the ambulance?

Where are the police?

What?

Aren't you going to call them?

Right.

I should.

What's with you?

Why are you so calm?

Your one and only daughter almost died.

By any chance...

are you in a situation
where you can't call the police?

Are you in hiding

or running away?

Let's...

go to the hospital
and the police station tomorrow.

Don't ever...

go anywhere without me again.

Okay.

As you can see,

the long sword that penetrated
Dr. Choi Jin-tae's abdomen

is a katana he owned.

According to the examination,

the cut on his hand is from the same sword

and it seems like a defensive wound.

And his fractured fingers were most likely
caused on the day of the murder.

-Any other defensive wounds?
-None, sir.

Next is his wife, Ms. So Jin-yu.

She was found next to the bed
with a paper knife pierced into her chest.

The suspect purposely
raised the temperature of the heater

in order to decompose the body.

A katana to a paper knife from nowhere?

They decomposed the body
at high temperatures.

Are you sure this is the same case?

We're looking at whether this was done
by the same suspect

and other possibilities.

What about the CCTV footage?

I'm sure they were rich enough
to install CCTVs around the big house.

Apparently, the security company
removed all the CCTVs on the 20th.

What? Why?

We don't know the reason,
but Dr. Choi requested it.

Damn it.

There was an accident in the alley
near Choi Jin-tae's house.

We acquired CCTV footage
around Choi Jin-tae's house.

Yes, that one.

It's around 23:30, 20 seconds in.

What's going on?

Did you look up the car?

Yes, it's unlicensed.

An unlicensed vehicle?
Where did he go after this?

We're still looking into
the footage of nearby CCTVs.

So the kid was alive until then.

Look into records of emergency patients
on the night of the 21st.

We should find the kid first!

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

And you, come with me.

Yes, sir.

What should I do first, sir?

I don't know.
What do you want to do first?

Should I look into the hospital records
on the night of the 21st?

Or call the security company?

And as soon as the bank opens,

I'll request
Dr. Choi's transaction history.

Hey, first of all,

you should sleep.

Sorry?

You should get some sleep.

It's six in the morning.
We need to sleep to work.

Right.

Yes, sir.

-Should I get you cigarettes?
-Forget it.

Stop kissing up to him

and work when the sun's up.

Go to bed!

Ju-hyeok, you're going to pass out
if you use up your energy already.

-I mean--
-Put that down.

Go sleep.

Hey.

Hey, let me try one.

Does this help?

I'm just trying to resist the temptation.

Goodness.

Props to you for trying to quit.

When you grow old,

it's hard to become resolute.

How long has it been
since you came to Youngin?

A little over three years.

That means Youngin was a peaceful city

without a single murder case

for a little over three years.

Jeez.

What's all this chaos
in such a peaceful city?

-If you have something to say, go ahead.
-What?

I don't have anything to say.

I love guys like you,

especially in this situation.

You don't do office politics

or use petty tricks.

It's reliable at times
that you push forward like a bull.

It's great.

-Was that a compliment or a criticism?
-Goodness me.

You're not even the type to be swayed

by either of those things anyway.

I heard you were sent here
for being stubborn.

Then...

keep being stubborn.

No one's going to bother you here.

Are we moving?

Yes, just in case.

I thought we were going to the hospital.

Put your jacket on.

You may have to be hospitalized
if we go to the hospital.

I'm sorry to break it to you,
but I'm completely fine.

The doctor might think differently.

You finally sound like a proper dad.

You're worthy to be called a dad.

What?

You saved me.

Of course, you're the one
who left me alone at night,

but you saved me in the end.

So I guess you're worthy
to be called a dad.

This.

Why are you taking that?

This saved me too.

I feel at peace when I have this.

Your call cannot be completed.

You will be connected to voicemail.

You will be charged after the beep.

I'm going to send Ro-hee home

and turn myself in.

I don't care about money.

I have to send her back
before things blow up.

Also,

don't worry.

I'm going to go see Hee-ae,
turn myself in,

and tell the police
that I planned all this.

So take good care of Hee-ae
while I'm gone.

This is my final request, okay?

Please stay by her side, okay?

Please.

Recording finished.

It didn't look like you were on the phone.

Did you leave a voicemail for someone?

Yes, there's a brat who never picks up.

Goodness, stop staring. Let's go.

Don't you have something to ask me
before we go?

A question?

You should ask me to see if I'm hungry.

Oh, are you hungry?

All right, let's go have something good.

Something good?

That white, unpleasant thing?

No. Something really good.

What's going on?

That doesn't sound like
someone who's in poverty.

And starting today,
let's sleep somewhere warm and safe.

Where are we going?

Somewhere.

Come on.

Why did the murderer take the kid?

STATE-NOMINATED BEST MEDICAL CENTERS
CELEBRATION EVENT

It's strange.

When you kidnap a kid,

you usually negotiate with their parents.

But why kill them instead?

They might not be after money.

All the valuables on So Jin-yu's body

and the dollars Choi Jin-tae had
were both untouched.

They might be after something else?

That's terrifying.

Did he kill the kid then?

We need to find out what he's after.

Are you the police that are visiting?

This is Detective Park Sang-yun.

And I'm Chae Jeong-man.

I'm Yoon Jeong-do.

Please come this way.

Sure.

I heard he was on vacation.

Yes.

We were all surprised to see him
go on a vacation all of a sudden.

Although he went on vacation every year,

he often came to work on his days off.

He was very devoted to his work

to the point he had a laboratory at home.

And weirdly, he mentioned Singapore.

-Singapore?
-Yes.

He said he was going to Singapore
for vacation.

Excuse me.

Do you know anything more
about his vacation?

No, that's all I know.

I heard you were the closest to Mr. Choi.

We weren't exactly close,

but I talked to him more than others.

That's about it.

-And this is just my speculation,
-Go ahead.

but it didn't look like his wife

went on vacation with him.

Did something happen between them?

How would I know
about their personal matters?

But sometimes, he would raise his voice

when he was on the phone.

And the other person on the line
was always his wife.

He was an extremely busy man,

so I'm sure she had her complaints.

Is there anything else you can think of?

No, this is all I can think of for now.

I see.

I'm sorry I couldn't help much.

It's fine.

Right, one last thing.

Do you recognize him?

No, I don't think so.

I see.

I know this isn't the best time,
but thank you for meeting with us.

-No problem.
-All right.

-Goodbye then.
-Goodbye.

Then...

Hey, let me call you back later.

It turns out he called a Singaporean
travel agency multiple times.

I guess he really was going to Singapore.

But what's strange
is that he bought two tickets

for himself and Choi Ro-hee.

-Without his wife?
-Yes.

He contacted a local travel agency
to book the tickets.

It was a small agency.

Look into that Singaporean travel agency.

Someone might've introduced them to him.

Yes, sir.

But that doctor is so calm

considering the gravity of this case.

I mean, his colleague died.

Everyone seems suspicious at first, right?

That's just his personality.

Stay calm when things get intense.

That's the basics of an investigation.

Yes, sir. Let's stay calm.

Shall we go eat calmly?

Hey.

Really?

Okay, I'll be on my way.

Where to?

What? This is near my house.

Don't you know this case?

-No, what is it?
-A murder case.

A couple got stabbed to death.

What? Why?

It wasn't just an ordinary knife.
It was a long sword.

It pierced right through his chest.

Watch it. There's a kid.

-Right.
-Hey.

Gosh, you're so insensitive.

-It's not like I made up the story.
-Gosh.

Let me see.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae!

Hee-ae!

Hee-ae!

-Where did you hide Hee-ae?
-Please calm down!

How could you kick a patient out
for overdue bills?

-Who are you talking about?
-Hee-ae!

The patient in Room 804!

-Where's Kim Hee-ae?
-Mr. Kim.

She can't even breathe properly.

-Please calm down.
-How could you do this to her?

I said I'll pay the bills.

She moved rooms, remember?

She moved rooms.

Sorry?

Patient Kim Hee-ae's

hospital bill has been paid for,
including her surgery and nursing fees.

We've booked the surgery
after the payment was made.

It's on June 5th.

Who made the payment?

It says that you made the payment.

You really didn't know?

But it's a relief.

She can finally get surgery and recover.

She'll be able to live happily with you.

Right.

Her surgery has been booked for June 5th.

What?

What the...

-Where were you?
-The bathroom.

You should've told me before going.

How am I supposed to tell you
when I don't know where you are?

Are you sick?

What did the doctor say?

It's a stomachache.

You came to a hospital this big
for a stomachache?

Hold on.

Why did you eat that made you sick?

You ate something behind my back,
didn't you?

Goodness, I didn't.

Let's go eat.

Hello.

When did you find the vehicle?

This morning.

We found a burner phone in the car,

and thankfully, we saved the SIM card.

There were two numbers
on the call history.

One was another burner phone,

and the other was Dr. Choi's number.

-Dr. Choi?
-Yes.

We checked the recent calls,

and the call was made after Dr. Choi died.

Was the suspect
unaware of Dr. Choi's death?

He might've done it to make an alibi.

Any traces of Choi Ro-hee?

As you can see, everything's burnt.

Did he walk on foot
with the girl from here?

What about the CCTV footage?

There are none installed in this area.

There's a high chance
the culprit is from this area.

He knows this place inside out.

Where are you going?

Chang-hun, I'll call you.

Okay.

It hasn't been that long
since he burned the car.

Look closely to see

if there are any steps
or traces remaining.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

We're monitoring the train station,
bus terminal, and the tollgate, right?

Yes, I told them to inspect
and search thoroughly.

Goodness.

I heard you searched the quarry.

We found a footstep of an adult male.

We're waiting for the forensics.

They looked through all the CCTV footage
that was closest to the location

-the vehicle was found.
-And?

They didn't find anything particular.

Where on earth did he take the kid?

What's this?

Ex-cons who live in Youngin.

Murderers? Kidnappers?

Both. We can't narrow it down yet.

What about the guy from the CCTV footage?

It was blurry, and he was wearing a hat.
It was hard to tell.

Sir.

The golden hour has passed.

We should keep this from the press
until we know what's going on.

I don't get what the culprit is thinking.

We don't want to provoke him
and put the kid in danger.

All right.

Mr. Park Cheol-won is here.

What?

Park Cheol-won?

He works at the security company

that was in charge of the CCTVs
at Choi Jin-tae's hospital and house.

Should I empty the interrogation room?

We'll talk in the lounge.

Yes, sir.

Here you go.

I'm sorry you had to come here.

It's all right.

A big incident occurred,
so I should help out if I can.

Did you work for Uone Security
for a long time?

Yes.

It's been about ten years.

It hasn't been long
since you managed Dr. Choi's house, right?

Right. It's been about two years
since I was in charge of his hospital.

But he called me about a year ago
and said that he'd prefer

to have one person
managing his hospital and his house.

So I've been in charge
of his house as well since then.

Did you meet him often?

-Sorry?
-I don't mean anything else.

He designated you
as the manager of both facilities,

so I was wondering

if you were close to him.

Close to someone like him?

Why would he want anything to do
with someone like me?

I see.

Then let's talk about the 20th.

You went to retrieve
the CCTVs that day, right?

Yes.

I was flustered because it was so sudden.

But he just said
that he's going to hire another company.

Another company?

Yes.

I asked him which company,

but he avoided the question.

I see.

Did you find anything unusual that day

in terms of his actions
or conversations with him?

I'm just a security guy.

He had no reason

to behave or talk unusually toward me.

What did you do on the 21st?

The 21st?

I'm just asking for formalities.

I see.

The last installation ended
past my working time that day,

so I got off work from there.

I had plans that night.

Plans?

Yes, I was meeting a friend
from high school.

We drank until late at night

and slept at the sauna.

We took a bath,
had hangover soup in the morning,

and went to work.

Please write
your friend's name and number.

KIM HUI-JUNG

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

Here. Eat up.

I knew it.

This smell of poverty.

What are you talking about?
It's the smell of delicious food.

Try it.

How is it?

It's better than eating expired flour.

By the way,
why are we eating on the streets?

This is called street food.

You're too young to understand,

but street food is much tastier

than eating at a restaurant.

No matter how delicious it is,
I wonder if we have to eat like this.

It tastes decent.

Gosh, why on earth
do these scumbags spit on the floor?

Goodness.

Your daughter must take after her mom.

Oh, right.

Gosh, she looks so pretty and clever.

She doesn't take after you at all.

-Right.
-Enjoy your food.

Damn it.

She's a weird lady.
Don't mind her and eat up.

She has a point.
I don't think I take after you.

Right.

Mom seemed pretty.

Did you see her?

I saw her in the photos.

Isn't she my mom?

So you saw her.

INCOMING CALL

Why are you just staring at your phone?

Pick up.

Right.

Hello?

-It's me.
-Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Keep eating, okay?

I'll be back.

Eat up.

So what's going on?

That's what I want to ask.

What on earth is going on?

Are you telling me to answer that?

How am I supposed to know? I have no idea.

If you don't, then who...

who would?

I found out by watching the news too.

My head is about to burst too.

Oh, is it?

I'm about to lose my mind, damn it!

Where are you?
You're not at home, are you?

How could I stay there amidst all this?

I'm at the market.

I couldn't stay at the house any longer.

Also, I should hold out as much as I can

at least until June 5th.

June 5th?

You don't know?

What's happening on June 5th?

Can you stop
beating around the bush all the time?

Just be straightforward.

Where are you? I'll go to you.

Mister!

Mister!

Hello?

-Mister!
-What's going on, Myeong-jun?

Over here, hurry!

Ro-hee!

-What's going on?
-My goodness!

Ro-hee!

-The hospital!
-Take her to the hospital!

-My goodness.
-Help me get her on my back.

Wait!

Your bags!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Excuse me! Please check on my daughter.

-She kept puking and is unconscious!
-Calm down, sir.

-I need a doctor now!
-Please calm down.

-Call a doctor.
-Dr. Kim! Over here!

-Doctor!
-Sir, calm down.

Sir, please calm down.

-She puked and fainted.
-This way, please.

-Her eyes rolled backward!
-How long has she been unconscious?

About ten minutes.

Ro-hee!

Ro-hee!

-Ro-hee!
-Excuse me.

Please register your information
while we check on her.

Okay.

-Register?
-Yes, please go that way.

REGISTRATION DESK / INFORMATION

-Hello, I'm here to register.
-Sure.

-Please fill this out.
-Okay.

NAME

Damn it.

CHOI

Take your time.

KIM HEE-AE

Over here.

I found bruises
while administering IV fluids.

I think it's child abuse.

Call the police.

Okay.

-Here you go.
-Give me a moment.

NAME: KIM HEE-AE

PHONE NUMBER

ADDRESS: YOUNGIN-RO, YOUNGIN-SI...

PROGRAM SUSPENDED DUE TO AN ERROR

It looks like we have an error.

I'll give you a temporary slip.

Give me a moment.

Hold onto this, and I'll let you know
when you're registered.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

Sir.

Yes?

What did you eat today?

Today?

We had tteokbokki, sundae,
fried squid, fried shrimp--

Is she allergic to shrimp?

Sorry?

We administered an antihistamine
to slow down the allergic reaction,

and she got better right away.

There must've been something

in the food you had today
that caused an allergic reaction.

We'll administer IV fluids today,

but please have her take an allergy test
as soon as possible.

Okay.

Thank you.

And please give me the slip.

Right, here.

Goodbye.

What? Jeez, it's finally working.

All right, let's see.

NAME: KIM HEE-AE
GENDER: FEMALE

ADDRESS

PATIENT ALREADY HOSPITALIZED

What?

What the...

-It's so strange.
-What is?

It's just weird.

Of course, it's weird.

Did you see him
screaming at everyone earlier?

There's something suspicious.

Where are the police?

What if he runs away?

When did you call the police?

Did you take the pictures?

-Of course.
-Don't look at him.

Keep your voices down.

Tell the police to come quickly.

I'm telling you,
there's something suspicious.

It's so suspicious.

How could a dad not know
about his daughter's allergies?

Dad.

Hey, are you okay?

Why are you getting up?

I need to go to the bathroom.

Right.

Can you manage? Are you not dizzy?

I can go.

Here.

Can you give me my backpack?

Why?

Really?

They're going somewhere.

-They are?
-They're taking the bag too.

The dad's bag is still there.

Aren't they running away?

Apparently, she has leukemia.

How could he hit a kid like that?

-I know, right?
-Doctor.

Where's Kim Hee-ae?

Wait. It's the ladies' room. You can go.

Gosh, hey!

What is it?

What are you doing?

Let's go before the police come.

What?

-Did you call?
-Yes.

Right.

Oh, this way.

Ro-hee!

Are you not going to go?

Do I go with them then?

Just follow me.

-Excuse me!
-Excuse me!

Hey!

Hey!

Are you okay?

Sir, a report from the emergency center
at Youngin Hospital came in.

Apparently, it's child abuse.

-Abuse?
-Yes.

But take a look at her face.

-Choi Ro-hee?
-Yes.

I am his friend from high school,

but we met after such a long time.

He called me out of the blue

and invited me for a drink.

We probably had
five or six bottles of soju.

Goodness.

He wouldn't let me go home.

So that was your first time seeing him
since you graduated high school, right?

Yes, that's right.

I wonder how he found my number.

By the way,
did Cheol-won do something bad?

No, these questions
are merely part of the procedure.

He's kind-hearted,
so he may get taken advantage of,

but he isn't the type to cause harm.

-Hey.
-We received a tip on Choi Ro-hee.

Stop right there.

An allergy?

Yes, it seemed like
she was allergic to shrimp.

She suddenly had a seizure and passed out.

I guess he didn't know she was allergic.

He was crying with her on his back
when he came in.

Crying?

Yes, he looked very worried
and in a hurry.

So we obviously thought he was her dad.

I heard you reported child abuse.

When I was injecting a needle,

I found severe bruises
and needle marks on her arm.

I reported it as child abuse
based on that.

Sir.

The patient registered was Kim Hee-ae,
not Choi Ro-hee.

We checked the ID number
and the name just in case.

-And?
-She's a patient in this hospital.

Oh, and the guardian...

is him.

His name is Kim Myeong-jun, 39 years old.

It's strange.

He came to the hospital
with the girl he kidnapped,

and he used his daughter's name,
who's a patient here, to register her.

Is he dumb or is he playing games?

Hee-ae.

Hee-ae, is your arm okay?

What's wrong?

Last night, in the alley,

I heard the name Ro-hee.

Ro-hee!

I have a question.

Who are you?

Ro-hee! Hey.

Let's go home.

A police car in front of the house.
The siren light.

A cop is the culprit?

You kidnapped me,
so you should take responsibility!

-Take responsibility for what?
-My safety.

"Agreement."
What is this, a slave contract?

-Sign it!
-Fine!

-Let's go.
-We received a report of a suspicious man.

Apparently, he's with a girl
who's about 11 years old.

I wonder how you kidnapped me.

It's not like I wanted to. I was told to.

You were told to?

Are you the murderer?

The girl doesn't
consider the kidnapper hostile.

They're moving together
as if they're a team.

I'm sure the police already know
what kind of person you are.
