Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Is anybody there?

Sweetie, are you okay?

Huh?

Mom, I kept calling you! Why didn't you answer me?

What are you talking about? You were sleeping all this time.

Mom, I must be really sick.

I had a terrible nightmare.

Really?

Your friends are here. Should I tell them to go home?

Which friends?

Are you two dating?

We didn't make it official yet.

So you two really are dating.

Not really. He has to ask me out first.

I'll leave my notes here.

You guys are lucky.

Why is he eating something so cold in the morning?

- Isn't he cold? - He said he needs to wake up.

He didn't sleep well last night.

He didn't?

Yeah. He said he keeps having weird dream.

- (July 19, 1999) - Young-tak had the same dream.

It's been over ten years, but I can never forget it.

Really?

How come I don't remember it?

Jung-hyun.

Do you know why I remember that so clearly?

A few days later, there was a terrorist attack.

It was during the Chuseok holiday.

After that, you stopped coming to school, right?

Yeah.

Once the terrorist attack happened and you stopped

coming to school, the school magazine club vanished.

It was as if we had never been friends before.

That's how we graduated.

Hometown: Upside Down Dream

Do you know Gramoxone, the agriculture pesticide?

It was cheap and effective,

so back in the day, many people used it as a weed killer.

But Gramoxone...

has a unique nickname: Blue Devil.

The moment you put it in your mouth,

it will melt everything, including your tongue, esophagus, and stomach.

It feels like you're burning in flames and your skin is melting off.

They say you experience hell before your very eyes.

Really?

A few years ago,

one girl who just entered middle school killed her

father by putting Gramoxone in his rice wine.

What's even worse...

is that we discovered a video tape of her recording her father dying.

So I asked her...

why she had to go so far.

"I'm not asking you why you killed him."

"I'm asking you why you watched him die and recorded his death."

What she said to me...

stuck with me for a long time.

What did she say?

"So that I won't forget it."

She didn't want to forget how much she hated her father.

She was afraid she would forgive him...

after some time passed by.

That's what she said.

I still recall her words sometimes.

I'm constantly running away from some memories that tormented me all my life,

but she was the opposite.

I apologize for asking you this,

but when you say "tormented memories,"

does it include what happened that day?

I believe there was an accident.

Line up!

Team 1, report.

The hallway of the first floor is empty. We're checking for people.

Team 1, report.

Team 2, we're going in.

Die!

Die!

Team 3, to the second floor!

I can't believe this!

Why? What's wrong?

Don't be afraid. We're cops.

Have you been imprisoned?

- Who are you? - The police!

But the door is too thick. I think we need the key.

- You can't. - What? What do you mean?

It's too noisy.

They might be listening.

- Shi-jung, go that way. - All right.

Be careful.

Damn it.

Hang in there.

What's this?

This way.

Hey, put the gun down.

You punk. It's all over. Put the gun down!

I said, put the gun down, you crazy bastard!

Shi-jung, that's enough!

Put the gun down!

- Do you see that? - Drop your weapon.

You don't see it?

- What the hell are you saying? - Shi-jung, don't do anything!

What are you talking about? Say it.

Don't you see that woman...

over there?

No, I don't. Who are you talking about?

So that's it.

That's what Guru was talking about.

Guru?

- Hey! - Honey, I'm sorry.

Shi-jung, check over there.

Pull yourself together!

- Don't let your guard down. - Okay.

Shi-jung.

Take this and go back to the people in the cell.

- Stay calm. - Okay.

Damn it.

Looks like you're ready to go.

I'm almost done.

There we go.

Shi-jung.

Shi-jung!

Shi-jung!

(Crocodile's)

What's this?

Tamagotchi.

- Check if I memorized everything. - Gosh.

Sir, I didn't mean to hide the evidence.

My friend, Cho Jae-young, made a desperate

request, so I decided not to let others know.

But I'm worried that Jae-young hasn't contacted anyone yet,

so I believe that I should give you the item that Jae-young entrusted to me.

Why are you talking like that?

- Are you a robot? - It's too long.

Now I forgot!

What was after that?

- "Please show mercy." - "Please show mercy."

Hey, a lot of people want refunds for the mixtape we made this time.

Our business is done for!

We're outcasts at school now.

You think that's bad? My mom won't feed me anymore!

I need to receive love in order to be healthy.

Let's make Jae-young take responsibility when she comes back.

That's right! She gave us a hard time!

I think Jae-young should be the one to go to

the shop and buy us cup noodles for a year.

- Agreed! - Agreed!

Agreed.

- Here, check it. - Let me see.

"Sir..."

(Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency)

Hello.

Is Detective Choi Hyung-in here?

Why? What do you need him for?

We're from the broadcasting club at Kyungcheon Girl's Middle School.

We have something to give Mr. Choi.

He's busy right now.

I'll give it to him, so leave it here.

- What's this? - A cassette tape.

But I need to tell Mr. Choi something, too...

Tell me. I'll write it down.

Never mind. It's okay.

That's it, right? I just have to give this to him?

Yes.

Take your medicine.

I don't think she has a lot of time left.

She's almost 15 years old.

She's pitiful.

She would've had a good life if my wife was still around.

She was lonely living with me.

I thought you quit drinking.

It's been a while since I've drank.

And now I remember why I desperately tried so hard to quit.

And why is that?

When I drink, there are things that I can forget.

But once I sober up,

the guilt increases.

Then I look for alcohol again.

You know,

it's the same as gamblers in mountains of debt taking private loans.

Hyung-in.

Don't blame yourself.

It's not your fault.

Hold on.

Let's go then.

Come on.

Get out of the car first.

Why aren't you getting out?

Because you're hesitating. So it's making me hesitate, too...

If you like it, you can keep it.

Isn't it expensive?

I don't know. I have a lot at home.

Sir!

I didn't know I'd see you here today.

I heard you two are partners.

Yes.

So you're friends with Shi-jung's wife?

Yes, we went to the same high school together.

I see.

You must be really upset about what happened to Shi-jung.

My feelings aren't important.

I'm sure he's more upset than I am.

I'll be on my way then. I need to leave after I see Shi-jung.

All right. I'm sorry. I took up your time, didn't I?

No, it's fine.

I guess I want to ask you a lot of things when I see you.

Although I'm sure you're trying hard to find her.

Ms. Cho.

The higher-ups have assigned a special team to a case related to your missing niece's.

They'll be taking care of your niece's case, too.

What do you mean?

Are you saying someone else will be in charge of it?

Yes. It won't happen right away, but it'll change soon.

Then what about you?

You'll be joining that team, too, right?

I can't believe this.

Doesn't this mean the police has given up on this case?

No.

Rather, it'd be correct to say a better team will be taking over.

Ms. Cho.

I don't know if it's right to tell you this,

but I lost my wife on October 6, 1987, the day before Chuseok.

Due to Cho Kyung-ho's terrorist attack.

To be honest, talking with that bastard's family to find his daughter...

feels like a punishment to me these days.

Of course, you're innocent.

So is your niece.

But no matter how hard I try...

my heart thinks differently.

Through what my partner experienced this time,

I finally found out what I had been thinking.

I realized I'm not a good person who can't blame your family.

So I am no longer qualified to work on this case.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

No.

I can no longer sympathize with your pain or emotions.

So it's much better for someone else to take this case.

Please...

Please don't let go of Jae-young.

I don't want to do this.

I don't want to see you or your family crying.

That's the kind of person I am.

I'm sorry.

What do I do?

What's wrong?

You'll be able to return to work.

Sir, you need to slow down, or I can't understand you.

Or you can write down what you want to say here.

You'll be able to return to work. Don't worry.

I don't know what you're saying, but it's something good, right?

I understand.

Hello?

Why are you sleeping already?

Beats me. What time is it?

It's only 9 o'clock!

Why are you getting mad at me?

Hurry up and turn on Messenger!

No, I'm too lazy.

Hurry! It's urgent!

Darn it!

I'm on. What is it?

- Don't you see it? - See what?

- Jae-young is online! Look carefully! - What?

- You're right. - Right?

- Did you try talking to her? - Yeah, but she won't answer me.

Jae-young, where are you right now? Are you okay?

She's not replying, huh?

Yeah.

1987 school magazine. It's written in there.

(September 8, 1999)

Here you go.

(Kim Turned Himself Into The Police)

- Sir. - You're here.

- Sorry for calling you so late. - It's fine.

Why do you think he's doing this?

How would we know what a crazy bastard thinks?

God, I keep telling you.

Bring Detective Choi Hyung-in from MIU.

Until you do, I can't tell you anything.

You must not even know what I look like.

Are you...

Detective Choi Hyung-in?

It's true.

It's really you.

You look just like your picture.

You saw a picture of me?

Yes,

Mr. Choi.

Mr. Kim Hwan-gyu,

did someone give you this order?

No.

No one did.

Someone must have shown you the picture of me.

Did they tell you to kidnap Jung-hyun?

And is she...

with them right now?

That's the wrong question.

But can I ask you something?

What do you think?

Do you think Guru will love me?

Why would you ask me that?

And what is "Guru"?

By any chance, are they behind all of this?

Did they tell you to do this?

Guru said...

you'll kill me.

What?

Guru said once you hear this,

you'll skin me with a knife.

- Look here. - And...

Guru said you'll then pour hot water over me.

What are you talking about?

And Guru said that if I ask you for forgiveness,

you'll spit on me.

Damn it.

Now I see what's going on.

I don't know what this Guru is,

but if they speak nonsense to you, they're not someone who'll protect you.

And if it's decided that you did this all on your own,

then your life is over.

You'll have to rot in jail for the rest of your life.

If every word you say...

can decide the rest of your life,

shouldn't you think about it carefully?

Are you...

recording what I'm saying right now?

If you want, I can turn it off.

No.

Please record me.

Fine.

Then spill it.

On...

July 15...

I kidnapped Cho Jae-young.

Then on July 16...

Hey, Hwan-gyu.

I choked her to death...

and then cut up her body...

Kim Hwan-gyu!

I took the pieces...

and threw them into the sea at Busan Bridge.

I did everything by myself,

and I'm...

regretting what I did.

Say it one more time in an accurate manner.

Did you...

murder Cho Jae-young?

Yes.

I did.

Start from the beginning, you bastard.

On...

July 15...

I kidnapped Cho Jae-young.

Then on July 16...

Jae-young was our precious friend.

Jae-young was a student who was loved by many

students even though she just transferred here.

We lost Jae-young due to an unexpected accident,

but she will always be with us in our memories.

Should we drive around the school?

Yes, please.

Jae-young should see her school for the last time.

Ms. Cho!

Ms. Cho!

When was that?

A month ago.

Did she say anything else?

She just said something's written in the 1987 school magazine and went offline.

Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

She didn't really say anything else, and we

thought someone could've been playing a prank.

You should've still said something!

I'm sorry.

But honestly, we...

Hurry up and tell her.

You're making me cry, too.

I... we...

didn't think she'd die.

It seemed like she was going to safely come back soon.

We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to worry.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

No. No, Sook.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for getting angry at you.

Don't cry.

What's wrong with you?

Why would we lay her coffin down when her corpse hasn't even been found yet?

But still, if you're not there...

It's fine. I'll make up for it later.

Min-jae, Young-seob knew that Jae-young was going to get kidnapped.

No matter how much I think about it, it just doesn't make sense.

And the pattern in Kim Hwan-gyu's home was the same one we found in high school.

There's no way that bastard did this all by himself.

But what's the use? It's all pointless now.

No, mom. Jae-young might not be dead!

Jung-hyun.

Even if...

Even if she's dead,

I'm going to do everything I can.

I have nothing left to lose.

First, I'm going to meet Young-seob's family and find out whatever I can.

And if that doesn't work...

I'll go see that bastard.

What are you saying?

Who are you going to meet?

Are there any adults home?

Who are you?

I came here last time. A man named Jung Young-seob lived here before, right?

Who are you?

Hello. I'm Young-seob's friend.

Young-seob? Who's that?

Don't you know the man who used to live here?

His name is Jung Young-seob.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The only people who live here are me, her, and her dad.

No one else is here.

I'm sorry, but can I take a look at your home?

Excuse me?

I understand I may be crossing the line.

But please.

My goodness. What's wrong with you?

Thank you.

Oh, that's our storage.

I'm certain this was the place.

You've been living here, right?

We've been living here for almost ten years.

- Hello? - Hi, did you come to rent?

Rent?

Aren't you the same people who came to rent my house last time?

The number you have dialed does not exist.

Even if I won't be able to fully recover,

the doctors said I'll be able to recover to a certain extent.

So stop looking at me.

It's weird.

I'm thinking about quitting, too.

I found out that we can get jobs at public

institutions because we're public officials.

If we're lucky, we might be able to work at the same place.

We just need to take an English exam.

We can do that.

What?

What did you say?

It's not because of you.

I'm just...

really exhausted now.

- Mr. Choi, did you know? - Know what?

What you're eating right now is the snack I made for Allie.

I told you about it earlier.

Oh, really? It was up here, so...

I put it there so that it can cool down.

I tried to tell you earlier, but you were enjoying yourself too much.

It probably tastes like nothing, but you seem to like it.

It's good!

You've got one new voicemail.

You're not answering your phone anymore.

I heard that the kids of the broadcasting club gave you a cassette tape.

I was wondering if I could listen to it.

Please let me know.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Has your family ever visited you?

Yes, my younger sister came to see me once.

Do you remember your conversation with her?

Yes, I do.

She acted cold, but she seemed anxious.

I think she was scared, too.

Why do you think she suddenly decide to come see you?

I'm not sure.

I'd like to ask you that.

Aren't you guys too late?

You came too late.

(September 10, 1999)

Hi, Jung-hyun.

- (Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency) - I can't dissuade you, can I?

Yes.

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to change jobs first, and when I have some free time,

I'll study.

Study what?

It's just an idea.

Maybe criminal psychology.

After meeting all those crazy bastards, I guess you want to see inside their heads.

Yes.

Didn't someone leave something for me? Like a tape?

Oh, that? I left it at the hospital when I visited Shi-jung.

Didn't he give it to you?

Okay, I'll give him a call.

It's been exactly 12 years since we saw each other, right?

I'll get straight to the point.

Jae-young is missing.

I know.

Are you the one behind this?

- Jung-hyun. - It's you, isn't it?

You're responsible for this, right?

You don't think I know? I know you were contacting her.

So don't try to be smart and tell me the truth.

The truth?

Jae-young and I weren't keeping in touch.

- What? - No, to be exact...

haven't you ever thought that Jae-young contacted me first?

You're insane. Cut the nonsense!

Why is that nonsense?

I don't have time to play games with you.

Just tell me what you know.

You say you're worried about Jae-young, but you don't know anything about her.

I know more than you, who's rotting in jail.

No.

I'm asking you a serious question.

Do you really know about her?

For example, did you tell her about me?

Did you ever talk with her about what I did?

No, because I don't need to.

Why would you be the judge of that?

How you shamelessly ask me that?

Have you gone mad in there?

What I did...

is like destiny to Jae-young.

So why are you denying it?

Didn't you think that it instills useless guilt in Jae-young's heart?

Guilt? Why must she feel guilty because of you?

Who do you think you are?

You have nothing to do with us anymore.

That's impossible.

That's a delusion that only happens in your head.

Don't you get it?

- Why did you return to Saju? - What?

Why did you decide to return to our hometown?

Because Jae-young wanted to.

Then let me ask you again.

Why did Jae-young want to come back to Saju?

And why didn't you ask her why? What were you afraid of?

What were you afraid she would say?

Shut up!

Hold on.

Oh, it's here. Yes.

I guess we didn't give it to you because it was with other items.

Okay, I'll drop by after work.

I'll call you when I'm nearby.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

What are you doing?

I was helping you calm down.

Did you do this to Jae-young, too?

What do you mean?

Did you hypnotize Kim Hwan-gyu so that he would kidnap Jae-young?

Kim Hwan-gyu...

had no reason...

to kidnap Jae-young.

I'm not defending that jerk...

but he...

doesn't have a reason...

or personality...

to kill Jae-young.

Jae-young...

was a sweet girl.

It's rare to see someone so good.

Mom, Jae-young, and I...

lived in hiding for all our lives.

Like moles under the ground.

The only reason...

why this would happen our family...

is you.

Tell me.

What did you do?

You crazy bastard.

Jung-hyun.

You forgot something.

You're excluding yourself...

the most important person in this incident.

Right?

What?

Why did you come to see me?

What did you remember? Do you know what I'm saying?

Cut the crap.

Let me guess.

You saw that pattern and came to me.

Yet, you're not asking me about what happened.

Why aren't you asking me about it?

It's because of fear.

A long time ago, when we left the welfare center together,

I planted that in you.

The beginning of this story is me, Jae-young, and you.

You can't forget that fact.

Then you'll repeat the same mistake, and this time,

you won't be able to go back, Jung-hyun.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

Ma'am, can I get a bottle of beer?

Sure.

Mr. Choi called.

Really?

I guess he'll be here soon.

Yeah.

Is this the tape?

Huh? Yeah.

I thought I'd listen to it.

That whistling is creepy.

Whistling?

I didn't hear that.

Really?

I hear whistling and bells alternating.

Seriously?

He is going around the country to make his face known.

Hello.

Im In-Kwan was confident of winning, saying that the voters responded enthusiastically.

He pleaded that they vote for him as he said they needed a strong candidate...

Are you okay?

Did you have another nightmare?

I'm okay.

Go to sleep.

I'm going to get some water.

Did you wake up?

What's this? This has never happened before.

(Hometown)

Did Guru order you to do everything that you did?

Will you get the answer you want from me?

We just want to know the truth.

Do you remember your friends?

Is this what you're most curious about?

Who Guru is?

What did you do to me?

Guru said you're not a living person.
