It's all my fault.

It's my fault!

My fault! I...

THE FROG

Yu! You said you wouldn't be able to make it.

I had some time to spare.

I wasn't expecting you. I was going to call and let you know.

Want some coffee, Seong-a?

Yeah, sure.

Su-a, go and get us coffee.

Yes, ma'am.

Let me explain everything.

You see, what happened was...

I wanted to see how it felt

to backstab someone.

Yeah?

I told her to do it.

Do what?

Were you seriously trying to exhibit those shoddy paintings?

"Shoddy"?

People will be buying them for my sake.

At least paint something worth hanging up.

Where are my paintings?

Long time no see.

Looks like prison agreed with you.

You're looking well.

Thanks to you.

I should've sent you an invite. This place must've been hard to find.

I thought this card I found on the street was my invitation.

You're here anyway, so take a look.

I painted them while thinking of your dead kid.

Fuck!

Fucking son of a bitch.

Are you crazy?

Me? A domestic abuser?

Why did you do it?

If you hated me that much, you should've killed me.

Why? Why did you have to take it out on Si-hyeon?

What kind of mother would kill her child?

Seong-a.

Seong-a! Please.

Just this once, please.

I never hated you.

Si-hyeon's the one I hated.

What did he ever do?

Can't remember.

It was just so stressful to see him every morning.

Then you should've told me that.

That's what that kid wanted, for me to give up.

That boy...

loved you and trusted you.

You know, he once asked me

if I was his mom.

Why didn't you tell him that his mom ran away the moment he was born?

How could I say that to a child?

You led him to believe I was his mother.

As punishment... for choosing you, I had to pretend to love a damn kid.

But could it be that

you only wanted me to be a mother to him?

If you didn't have a kid,

would you still have married me?

I did the only thing I could to find out the answer.

So,

don't bother asking when you won't get it, you fucking idiot!

What's that guy doing?

- What happened? - I'm not sure.

Hello!

- Hi! - Hello.

- You came! - Hi!

- Hello. - Enjoy the exhibit.

- Director Choi. - Good to see you!

- The paintings are lovely. - Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

Dr. Yoo!

Welcome.

Good work pulling this exhibit together.

I wasn't able to offer you much help, but this is just wonderful.

Thank you, sir.

Who is that?

What's going on?

Move. Get out of the way!

Ha Jae-sik was released.

Can't you have him sent away to another country?

No. You go.

Then keep him busy for a few days.

You can do that much, can't you?

What the...

Excuse me.

ELDEST SON

Hi, Dad.

I just got discharged.

Was that today? Didn't you say it was next week?

No need to come.

Ungrateful kids.

SINSEONGRU TRADITIONAL CHINESE CUISINE

I said I could just take a cab.

It's the least I can do for one of my regulars.

- I'll leave this over there. - Yeah.

Yeong-ha.

Yeong-ha!

MISSED CALL UNCLE YONG-CHAE

Hey, sweetie.

I'm at your dad's rental right now,

and I'm wondering if he's in Seoul.

Dad's not home?

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Well, talk to you later.

Bye.

DAD

Can I help you?

How do I deal with an obnoxious guest?

Is she the obnoxious guest?

Aren't you going to eat?

I already ate.

You're really wolfing that jjamppong down, considering it wasn't even yours.

Good. Now I don't have to throw it out after the noodles get all mushy.

Have you been here long?

For about a month.

The walls outside look very pretty. Did you paint that?

They were a bit dull before. Pretty colors, aren't they?

And you redecorated the entire room too?

Actually, the owner here agreed to sell me this rental.

Sell it?

Yes.

The owner said he was selling this place?

Yeah.

I'll refund the rest of your stay. Leave sometime tomorrow.

Or else I'll take legal action.

Then I'll make sure you pay every last penny in damages

for what you've done to this place!

And who the heck are you?

An expert in this matter.

"This matter"?

Dealing with liars.

How long has he been dealing with her?

Hold on.

I'M AT YOUR PLACE NOW. IS THAT THE WOMAN WHO...

Hey, you!

"Hey, you"?

When he gets back, you ask him

whether I'm a liar or not.

I don't need to ask him.

Yeong-ha, sell this place? He's a man set in his ways.

He said he'd die in this house, not sell it to a girl like you!

Then he's the one who lied, not me.

For Christ's sake.

Say you're sorry.

Were you raised in a barn?

You'd be dead if you were my kid.

Hey.

Hey!

What the hell?

Get off!

Die.

Fuck!

Look at you. Why'd you have to make it a big deal?

Die!

CHLORINE BLEACH

CHLORINE BLEACH

Hello, Yoon Bo-min speaking.

Hi, I have something to report.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Your dad got a little hurt.

He told me not to tell you, but he's at his rental right now.

DAD

Is something wrong?

Sorry, but I have to head home early.

Dad.

Dad?

Dad, it's me.

Dad.

- Dad. Where are you? - Ui-seon!

Ui-seon!

Hello!

Don't you remember me?

I think your dad was meeting his in-laws for the first time.

The wine.

Oh, you gave us that bottle of wine...

The thing is, I can't seem to get a hold of him.

I have something to discuss with him before checking out,

but he's not answering his phone.

So he's ghosting his goddamn kid too.

Pardon?

Did he die in a ditch somewhere?

Wait!

I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything, okay?

How are you so strong?

God, I'm tired.

You see, he and I are accomplices.

What?

Your dad and I killed a kid in this house. He was my ex-husband's son.

I put him to sleep by drugging his food and then strangled him to death.

I covered the bathroom floor with plastic, dismembered the body, and...

God, seriously. I'm so sick of it all.

Anyway, your dad basically helped me in various ways with the clean-up.

And why would he?

What would happen to this rental if word spread about the dead kid?

I need to discuss things with your dad, so keep calling him.

Text him. Let him know you're with me.

That'll scare him, and he'll come running.

Damn it.

This is so interesting.

I'm a pharmacist, you know.

You need to be on medication. Want me to refer you to a psychiatrist?

No, thanks. I'm good.

Hey, let me go.

You've been harassing my dad, haven't you?

No!

Then let's wait for him here together.

Fine. By the way,

aren't you sleepy?

Uncle!

Uncle!

Hold on.

- Ui-seon. - Yes?

You motherfuckers are making this really fun.

You crazy bitch!

This fucking bitch.

Come here.

Die.

DAD

Hello?

Mister?

Mister!

Mister.

Mister.

Tell me.

When are you coming back?

POWER OFF

Ji-su. Is Ui-seon with you?

She texted earlier to say she got to the rental.

Have you not met her yet?

Okay.

Ui-seon.

Jeon Ui-seon!

Is that a real gun?

Where is she?

Shoot something with it. This here.

Answer me!

Drop the gun.

I should kill you and look for her myself.

No, you won't find her.

If you want to find her alive, just do as I say.

That'll be the quickest way.

I'm serious.

You know, I...

I didn't want to do this either.

But everybody's been stabbing me in the back for the past two days.

Come to think of it,

you were also lying to me about selling this place, weren't you?

A gun? I can't believe you've brought a gun.

It wasn't a lie.

I was planning to sell it.

Until you stabbed me in the back, that is.

I had my exhibit, thanks to you.

Whenever I'm in this rental,

my creative juices get flowing.

The paintings I've created here...

make me want to throw away every piece of art I made before.

That's how much I love them.

But you know what happened?

This is the result.

I gave them real art, but they didn't get it.

You don't quite believe me, do you?

You think I'd never go as far as to kill your daughter.

So it's a real gun,

and you won't hesitate to shoot it.

But you're still open... to negotiation.

That is my interpretation.

I'll give you 30 minutes.

Check the basement first.

Let's talk after you save your friend.

Yong-chae.

Yong...

Yong-chae.

Yong-chae.

Hey!

Yeong-ha!

Hey, what's going on? What happened to Yong-chae?

Stay with Yong-chae until his family gets here.

Wait, what...

Yeong-ha, wait up!

What happened to Yong-chae is not a simple injury, is it?

What is it? Who did that to him?

Let go of me.

No!

Did you do that?

Why do you keep trying to take off?

Hey, wait a minute.

How could you rough up a man who just got out of the hospital...

Get out of the car. I'm going to call the police right now!

Hello, police?

What's he doing?

That crazy bastard!

Have you lost your mind? Do you want your daughter to die?

Where is she?

Where is my daughter?

What a sight.

Is it because of your friend?

That fucker asked for it.

I've learned something over the past two days.

Why so serious?

Procrastinating, avoiding, and hiding

lead to terrible things piling up endlessly.

I saw that with my own eyes.

Trying not to get blood on my hands

only results in hurting the people I care about.

I'm going to end this.

Once we work out a deal...

I'll be leaving.

My exhibit's over, so...

- I'll be leaving tomorrow. - You think you can run away?

After everything you've done?

You'll find your daughter safe and sound.

As for your friend, he suffered an injury, but he'll heal.

You can be happy again in this place.

It'll be like none of this ever happened.

I'm never coming back.

I'm saying this is the end.

But if you make the wrong decision at this moment,

then I'll see this whole thing through with you,

and your home will turn into a living hell.

And it will end

with you watching helplessly as your daughter dies.

The clock is ticking.

Who's that?

CAPTAIN YOON BO-MIN

It's the police.

Didn't you see this coming after what you did to him?

Once the doctors are done patching him up and Yong-chae wakes up,

he'll immediately tell the police what you did.

You're running out of time too.

What do you want?

It's been such a long day.

Let's have water first.

Get that thing out of my sight.

Make sure your friend and your daughter keep their mouths shut.

I guess I don't need to tell you that.

And?

Someone might come here looking for me.

He's fucking insane.

He'll probably end up being three times the headache I was

because he isn't fun like me.

Just tell him you don't know me and that I never came here.

And finally...

help me bury something on this property.

Ideally, in the vegetable garden.

What have you done this time?

Don't you think it's better not to know?

Just like a year ago.

Fine.

But I need to see my daughter first.

Save me the bullshit.

Yong-chae and Ui-seon will do whatever I tell them to.

Telling that man that I don't know you? I have no problem with that at all.

In fact, I'd prefer it.

CAPTAIN YOON BO-MIN

It's your turn to choose.

Either save my daughter and bury whatever you want here,

or see this through to the end with me.

If you go back on your word, I'm gonna lose it.

Shut up and get in the car.

In there, all this time?

Come on. Get her out of there already.

You bring her here.

Ms. Yoo Seong-a.

Going somewhere again?

What... what is happening right...

Hi, I have something to report.

I don't think it's worth filing a formal report,

but it didn't feel right to just let it slide,

which is why I thought I'd just give you a call, Captain.

Yes, but he really isn't the type of guy who would do such a thing.

And he's very close with Yong-chae...

- He was stabbed with what? - A screwdriver.

Now, please tell me.

First, she had a fight with your guests.

Then there was the Officer Kim incident.

This person called the police to your rental twice in only a few days.

She's the kind of person who, unlike you, lets her anger make her throw a punch.

Yoo Seong-a.

I'm asking you what that woman is doing right now.

She took my daughter.

I don't know where.

Accept her demands and rescue your daughter.

Once I do that,

she'll run away.

Mr. Jeon, we have to find your daughter first.

- We can arrest her after... - No.

If you don't catch her tonight,

I might kill her myself.

Then we'll catch her tonight.

Go to your rental, and buy us as much time as possible

while we search for your daughter.

I'll call you. If the search fails, I'll end the call right away.

If we find her, I'll let it keep ringing, so decline my call.

CAPTAIN YOON BO-MIN

Keep tracking her and call me. I'll head over first.

Yes, Captain.

After I call you for the second time, lure Yoo Seong-a to the crime scene.

The only way we'll catch her red-handed

is if she shows up at the scene of her own volition.

Why don't you go to the hospital? You should be with your daughter.

Escort Mr. Jeon to the hospital.

- Yes, Captain. - Go on.

Where are you going?

Where do you think you're going?

Let go. I said let go!

- Grab her. - Let go!

Come here!

Can't you see I'm injured? That man assaulted me!

I'm the victim here! Let go of me!

Stay still!

Let go!

You're under arrest for assault and kidnapping.

You have the right to an attorney.

You can explain yourself... or refuse to make an incriminating statement.

You can petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

Let go!

Ui-seon.

Yeong-ha?

Excuse me. Jeon Ui-seon.

- Are you her guardian? - Yes.

Her blood pressure is constantly dropping due to intra-abdominal bleeding.

Please sign this for emergency surgery.

SURGICAL CONSENT FORM

We may need to abort the baby to save the mother's life.

The mother?

The baby?

Yes.

Ui-seon.

Sweetie.

Please wait here.

It's all my fault.

It's my fault!

It's okay. She'll be all right.

My fault! I...

I made that happen to her.

She will be okay.

Get out of the car.

Are you all right?

What happened today

is all my fault.

Innocent people...

and my child got hurt.

Because of what I did.

A frog.

Someone once said to me

that when you get caught up in something terrible,

you end up blaming yourself, thinking, "Why did the stone hit me, of all people?"

Just like the frog from the story.

You're the victim in all of this, Mr. Jeon.

Was there another way you could've handled this?

Could you have done something sooner?

No, you did the best you could.

As any regular person could.

Take your time

and stay with your daughter as she recovers.

After that, lend us a hand with the investigation.

She was going to bury something at the rental.

She might have...

killed somebody.
