MISSING PERSON: JUNG MI SOOK
If you hadn't let anyone see you,
this wouldn't have happened.
Fine, I made a mistake.
What do you want me to do about it?
Clean up your own mess.
That's the rule we agreed on.
What exactly must I do?
There's a cliff at the end of this path.
Deal with her there.
And then turn yourself in.
Say that she fell off the cliff while running for her life.
A good enough lawyer will get you a bargain.
That wasn't a suggestion.
Let's have Hyun Su do it.
What?
You said that he'll do anything you ask.
If I wanted to,
I could've killed you just now.
Don't you ever mention Hyun Su again.
Got it?
All you have to do is listen to me, no questions asked.
If you do, you'll be able to enjoy life...
for decades to come.
Do you hear me?
Then do what you need to do.
It looks like you know the culprit.
Is there anyone that comes to mind?
Ms. Gong.
Yes. There's someone.
Just one person.
And who may that be?
Do Hyun Su.
Do Hyun Su?
Ms. Gong?
It all began...
out of the goodness of our hearts.
We felt bad since he had no stable family.
It was as if we were given our son back.
You see, back then,
my husband and I needed someone to care for.
And for 15 years,
Hyun Su...
lived as our son.
As Baek Hee Seong.
From this moment on,
I won't trust anybody.
What are you trying to do?
I'd appreciate it if you raised your hands slowly.
I'm sure you know what I mean.
Sweetie, don't do this.
This course of action won't get you anywhere.
Do you really believe...
that you can talk me out of this?
Walk toward the monitor.
Pull out all the cables.
There are a total of four.
Give me three days.
No, one.
I promise to be back.
You held a knife to my neck.
I'm going to take off...
and this was the best way to keep you from being my accomplice.
How dare you hold a knife to my neck!
It's silver that hasn't been sharpened.
All that it can do is cut some paper.
And how was I supposed to know that?
What matters to me is that you just threatened my life.
Right.
We've only known each other for 14 years,
so of course you'd be clueless of my intentions.
But I believed...
that you'd at least be able to put two and two together.
Are you seriously angry with me?
As if I have a right to be.
Not when I'm a clumsy fool...
who leaves his prints for his wife's co-workers to find!
This isn't the time to get emotional.
Me?
You think I'm being emotional?
No,
I couldn't possibly be more rational right now.
I'm sorry.
Jung Mi Sook is alive.
What?
Yeom Sang Cheol has her.
What nonsense are you spewing?
The police are on their way, so we don't have time.
I can't explain in detail.
Ji Won,
I'll catch the accomplice myself...
and come back to you.
No, I'm not letting you go.
The CCTV.
Check the CCTV.
Replay that footage.
Zoom into camera one.
Stop.
The closet.
What about the closet?
He couldn't have gone too far away.
Tell them we have an emergency situation.
Okay.
We have an emergency situation. 67 Sanseo-ro, Mapo-gu.
A murder suspect is on the run with his wife as a hostage.
The suspect is a male in his 30s,
and the victim is a female in her 30s.
Please. It's not too late.
Let's go outside.
If I get arrested, Jung Mi Sook will die.
METAL CRAFT WORKSHOP
We need to find out where they went.
- You two. Go to the control center. - Yes, sir.
And guard the entrance until the surveillance team arrives.
- Got it, sir. - Yes, sir.
What are you saying?
Jung Mi Sook is alive?
And why is she going to die?
Before I tell you, can you uncuff me?
I want an explanation first.
All I need is one day.
I swear I'll come back. I promise.
What are you going to do in just one day?
I'll put everything back to where it belongs.
Me, Jung Mi Sook,
and the accomplice.
We'll all go back to where we belong.
Ji Won, you need to trust me.
Then take me with you.
What?
I'm willing to hear you out.
Like this?
This is the best I can compromise.
Okay, fine. Let's go.
- Wait. - What is it?
We need cash.
Wait.
What was that space behind the closet?
Tell me.
What else do I not know?
Can you uncuff me first?
It's hard to move like this.
I know you're going to run away and just leave me here.
Is it so hard for you to trust me?
No, I just know you too well.
Then at least take this off your neck.
CHA JI WON, NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
How absurd is this?
You guys were reinvestigating the Yeonju City serial murder case.
But you had no idea that Do Hyun Su was right in front of you?
And you call yourselves cops?
How could you be so foolish?
The Cold Case Unit couldn't find him for 20 years.
How were we supposed to know it was him?
We're not shamans. We're cops.
He lived as someone else for 15 years.
Even so!
Detective Cha is in danger right now.
Right now, we need to focus on saving her.
About Detective Cha...
Are you sure she really had no idea?
What kind of question is that?
He took her as a hostage.
Do Hyun Su went crazy once Ji Won found out...
about his identity.
Woo Chul, you and your teammates are going to get disciplined.
Okay, sir.
Do everything you can to arrest Do Hyun Su.
Yes, sir. Don't even ask. It's a complete mess.
Woo Chul.
Detective Cha really didn't know, right?
She had no idea that it was him when Do Hyun Su gave us a tip-off...
about Yeom Sang Cheol, right?
Jae Seop, let go of her hand.
What do you think you're doing?
You knew everything.
And you manipulated us...
to do things your way.
You...
lied to us.
You have my word.
She had no idea.
First, we need to find out where Do Hyun Su is.
Groups 1 and 2. Check the CCTVs, witnesses, and dashcams...
to find out where they went.
Group 3. Keep an eye on his call logs, credit card usage,
and hospital treatments.
Groups 4 and 5. Meet Do Hyun Su's acquaintances.
The most important thing to keep in mind is...
that he has our fellow detective as a hostage.
Detective Cha's safety...
must be our top priority. Is that clear?
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Get to work.
You'll get heat rashes on your hands.
Pardon?
She always wants to be together. She's my girlfriend.
I feel anxious every time we're apart.
Honey, that kind of stuff is very private.
Let's just keep it to ourselves.
No! No!
Why are you doing this?
- Be quiet. - Why are you doing this?
- Sir! - Be quiet!
Sir, please!
Be honest with me, okay?
Okay... Okay.
What did you say to Do Hyun...
What did you tell the guy who just called?
What?
He asked me who I was.
So what?
So I just told him my name. That's all I said.
Did I do something wrong?
Did you tell him where we are?
No, I didn't.
I don't even know where this place is.
I've been here before.
Do you remember now?
It was them.
They locked me up in here.
Get me out.
Get me out of here.
Get me out! Mister. Please help me.
You lied about helping me...
find my family, didn't you?
No. Don't go.
No!
No! Don't go.
You did great, Mom.
What will...
happen to us now?
Be it a car accident or manslaughter,
the statute of limitations expired.
I'll just...
miraculously wake up...
once everything calms down.
Do you think...
things will go as we want?
I'm sure of it.
Do Hyun Su can assert his innocence all he wants.
It's still true that he's wanted for murder.
It's also true that he used someone else's identity.
Do Hyun Su is guilty already.
It is...
really over, right?
Just do well when you give your statement to the police.
Sound sincere as we practiced.
What is it?
INCOMING CALL
The leftovers that remain after cooking the main dish.
We have no business left.
We have to settle the bill.
I've already taken care of Do Hyun Su.
How much do you want for Jung Mi Sook?
Jung Mi Sook?
Jung Mi Sook is with me.
Yes. I'm on my way now.
So... How did she seem...
to you?
Right.
We still have Jung Mi Sook.
Tonight at midnight. Bring 500,000 dollars in cash.
We'll make the exchange then.
Call me once you have the cash.
Okay. I'll be generous and gather what I can.
This way, please.
Hey. You made it.
There are people watching the monitors at all times.
Act natural.
At the entrance. While paying. By the elevator, and the hallway.
All four times we were on camera, you looked around. Do you know that?
You were so obvious you were being chased.
What about you?
Do you know that you look like you've practiced numerous times?
What is it?
This is it.
This is no time to complain about being uncomfortable.
A serial killer may be lingering around your place.
I know it's uncomfortable, but bear with me, okay?
Come in.
You can use this room.
I'll change the sheets and the blanket.
It's okay. I can sleep on the couch. I'll just sleep there.
I want you to lock the door when you sleep.
You must be awkward because of me.
It's written all over your face...
that you're uncomfortable because of me.
That's not it.
I shouldn't do this to you, that's why.
What can't you do?
I'm always hurting you...
and using you whenever I need you. That's what I'm doing...
right now.
Why is my life such a burden on others?
Look.
Do Hae Su is not a burden on me.
Hold on.
Hello, Ms. Kang.
Did you know?
- What? - About Do Hyun Su.
Did you really not know?
We're in front of the murderer Do Hyun Su's workshop.
We have recently discovered that Baek, the victim...
of the Makmun-dong incident, is Do Hyun Su, a wanted fugitive...
for the murder of the 2002 Gakyeongri Village Foreman Murder.
It was disclosed that Do Hyun Su has been living...
under the fake identity, Baek, since 2005.
He seems to have approached Cha, a police officer, and married her,
and carefully planned out how to live with his fake identity.
The police stated that they are investigating...
the exact circumstances surrounding his taking on the fake identity.
The murderer Do Hyun Su's fake life of 18 years...
ironically came to an end due to another murder.
Once his crimes came to light,
he took his wife a hostage and fled.
Tell me. What's your plan?
What fugitive...
would tell a cop his plan?
What?
I know too well that nothing I say is worth anything...
to someone who suspects me.
I'm very sorry this happened because of me, but...
No, I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry at all.
Because I don't know why these things have to happen to me.
Why do you keep getting angry at me?
How do you think I feel right now?
How do you think I felt when they found your fingerprint...
on the tape that had bound the victim?
My fingerprints aren't in the database.
I suspected you.
So I checked.
Is that so wrong?
Anyone in my position would've done the same.
You're not anyone...
to me.
I never cared, you know.
When others hated me for no reason...
and always accused me first,
I never cared.
But...
But now...
Because...
Because it's you,
I couldn't be more devastated.
But I don't know everything.
How can I blindly trust you when I don't have all the facts.
How can you possibly expect me...
to know what you think and feel?
You...
give me too much credit.
Since the police station is the safest place,
all I thought about was taking you there.
So why are you angry with me?
Why?
I can't know if you don't tell me.
You need to let me know!
Look.
Just look at us.
Ji Won.
I didn't kill Park Soon Young.
I...
didn't kill Park Soon Young.
I only found out...
when the police came by during Park Kyung Choon's case.
You didn't know before that?
Had I known,
I wouldn't have let someone like him take my son's identity.
I had no idea that something like this would happen.
And that's why the great Director Baek...
shouldn't be accused or doubted...
- in any way... - Goodness.
Oh, please.
You're making it sound like I'm asking him for a favor.
Let me pour you a glass.
Anyway, I only asked...
to see the chief because...
I'm terribly worried about Detective Cha.
I couldn't sit around doing nothing...
while staying in the dark.
HANJOOGAN
Moo Jin!
Are you out of your mind?
I don't care how juicy the exclusive is.
You can't hide a murder suspect and have him be your source.
We had a common goal, which was to catch...
the accomplice of the Yeonju City serial murder
Do Hyun Su took his wife hostage just to save himself.
Ms. Kang, please.
There's more to this.
Do Hyun Su went to Makmun-dong after receiving a call last night.
- The one who called... - Are you aware...
that Park Soon Young's hair was found in his trunk?
What?
Get a grip on yourself.
Do Hyun Su is a killer,
so who are you trying to cover for?
The one who called me out to Makmun-dong...
must've framed me.
It must be the accomplice we've been searching for.
There was a car with a dashcam near the phone booth,
and I talked to its owner on the phone.
My phone should have a record of that call.
The accomplice seems meticulous.
Would he have made that kind of mistake?
He probably had his face covered.
The woman who answered Yeom Sang Cheol's phone.
How are you sure that it was Jung Mi Sook?
Because that's who she said she was.
It didn't seem like a lie.
However,
I wasn't sure that I could convince the police.
On top of that,
I didn't trust the police to prove my innocence.
It's why I couldn't let myself get caught.
Investigating me will be their priority.
Meanwhile,
Yeom Sang Cheol will sell Jung Mi Sook to the accomplice.
And how can running away solve any of your issues?
My evading the police...
is a message I'm sending to Yeom Sang Cheol.
A message?
I'm telling him that I'm no longer working with the police.
Why would you need him to know that?
Because I plan...
to join sides with him.
We have recently discovered that Baek, the victim...
of the Makmun-dong incident, is Do Hyun Su, a wanted fugitive...
for the murder of the 2002 Gakyeongri Village Foreman Murder.
That'll be 33 dollars.
It was disclosed that Do Hyun Su has been living...
under the fake identity, Baek, since 2005.
He seems to have approached Cha, a police officer, and married her,
and carefully planned out how to live with his fake identity.
The police stated that they are investigating...
the exact circumstances surrounding his taking on the fake identity.
I've already taken care of Do Hyun Su.
That's one sick psychopath.
970-5524
What the...
Who is this?
I'm not sure you're aware of this,
but I'm in quite a mess.
Is this Do Hyun Su?
You led me to a trap.
Life can be funny, right?
You willingly worked with the cops...
even though you're a wanted criminal,
but now we're pretty much the same.
How did you do it?
How did you frame me?
Let's get something straight because it wasn't me.
It was him.
I want to meet him.
I live by two rules.
Never stand surety and never be the middleman.
All I want is him.
You can take the money for all I care.
So?
Let's join forces.
Why should I?
How's Jung Mi Sook doing?
My merchandise is none of your business.
No, Jung Mi Sook is still with you.
You haven't given her to him yet.
Aren't I right?
What makes you think that?
Because if you had met with him,
you'd already be dead.
Do you think he'd let you live...
when he knows that you'll constantly squeeze him for money?
No one can easily get a one-up on me.
I managed though.
And the accomplice was able to outsmart me.
You'll pocket the money, I'll capture the accomplice,
and Jung Mi Sook will live.
What do you say?
I need to think about it.
He's too crazy to have for an enemy.
Do you have anything else you can offer me?
DO NOT NEGOTIATE.
No negotiations.
Hello? Hey.
Did this brat just hang up on me?
Darn him.
He's not the one with the upper hand here.
A prolonged conversation won't do you any good...
since you have no options.
Still, we got what we needed to know.
Do you think he'll accept my offer?
He kept wanting to talk to you,
so he's pretty much on our side now.
Here's your food.
I don't care if you don't eat.
Do Hyun Su...
or Baek Hee Seong?
This side represents Do Hyun Su.
This side represents Baek Hee Seong.
Can you just kill me now...
instead of sending me to that blonde?
"Blonde"?
There's a cliff at the end of this path.
Deal with her there.
He killed his friend.
He sneaked up behind him...
and struck his head...
with a rock.
Do Min Seok didn't commit suicide?
Let's get something straight because it wasn't me.
It was him.
I want to meet him.
I live by two rules.
It was him.
Hello, this is Room 908. We need more towels.
Can you bring some for us?
- Okay, sure. - Thank you.
We recorded everything.
I know it's only circumstantial evidence,
but it'll help us prove your innocence.
Now, we need to think about how we're going to lure him.
In order to make him trust us,
I must continue to be your hostage.
If I agree to stay as a hostage until he safely...
takes his money,
he won't be able to refuse.
I love you.
Why do you sound so sad?
Now, it's time you go back.
Go back to where you belong.
What do you mean?
I like your idea.
I agree that you should continue to be my hostage.
What?
Are you serious?
Uncuff me. Uncuff me right now.
I brought you here against your will.
You lied to me again. Again.
I need to work with a scumbag like Yeom Sang Cheol.
I can't let you get involved...
no matter what happens.
I don't care.
I know you will do your best to reveal the truth...
as a cop.
So...
don't even think of following me.
If you leave,
I won't see you again.
I'll never see you again.
So please don't go.
Don't leave me here by myself.
I'll be back.
We'll get to see each other again.
Don't say goodbye to me with such a sad face.
Just wish me luck.
Don't get hurt.
Have you decided whom to side with?
Hey, let's get something straight. You're siding with me.
Where should I meet you?
Hae Su, you can't just leave like this.
You told me to keep a distance from Hyun Su.
How do you expect me to do that?
All the evidence is saying he killed Park Soon Young.
I just didn't want you to get misunderstood...
by trying to protect him.
I did it for you.
Hyun Su got a call from the accomplice.
I'm sure he was framed.
There's no proof that the guy who called was the accomplice.
I know Hyun Su said his voice sounded familiar,
but that's just his assumption.
Hyun Su had a motive for murder, and the cops have proof.
Even if we think he's innocent,
there's no way to convince that to the public right now.
Why do you always...
turn into a coward just when I need you the most?
What?
My car key.
Mr. Kim Moo Jin?
Yes?
We've confirmed that you helped Do Hyun Su hide his identity.
Please come with us.
I'm really okay.
You should go to the hospital.
Nothing happened.
He didn't hurt me at all.
You're a victim who got kidnapped and locked up.
You should get yourself checked at the hospital.
- If you go... - I'm not a victim.
How are you not a victim? You were tied up.
That's confidential information regarding our investigation...
I can't tell you the details.
Detective Cha.
Sir.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'm okay.
But first, we need to check the Park Soon Young case...
again from the start.
It's the same person.
Park Soon Young's killer...
and Do Min Seok's accomplice.
Hey.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
You'll pocket the money, I'll capture the accomplice,
and Jung Mi Sook will live.
What do you say?
I need to think about it.
He's too crazy to have for an enemy.
Do you have anything else you can offer me?
No negotiations.
This is it.
Is the Jung Mi Sook...
the same Jung Mi Sook?
Given the circumstances, we have to assume so.
That explains why we haven't found her body yet.
We must keep it a secret that Detective Cha is back.
Why?
If the media covers her return,
information about this recording may get out.
Everything will fall through if the accomplice finds out.
Did you all forget...
that Detective Cha Ji Won herself is a suspect?
But you want to act totally on her word?
If there's a greater risk in not trusting her than trusting her,
we should trust her.
He's an accomplice to serial murder.
We cannot lose this chance to catch him.
Sure. That's right.
Nothing would be better than catching him.
Are you positive you can identify the accomplice?
Yes.
We can do it.
We will do it at all costs.
Take just Team Three and move quietly.
Yes, sir.
Why are you doing this much for Yeom Sang Cheol?
I should give him what he asks for...
if we want to get him to leave Korea.
Is that really all?
What other reason would I have?
I'm positive he won't stop asking for money.
CHIEF KANG
Hello, chief.
Are you saying you've caught Do Hyun Su?
I see.
It's classified information that Detective Cha has returned.
Please be careful.
Of course.
Thank you for the call.
What was that about?
Cha Ji Won was found locked in a motel room.
They lost Hyun Su.
How is she?
She's perfectly fine.
She wasn't hurt at all.
But anyway,
Ji Won is asserting that Hyun Su did not kill Soon Young.
Why?
Based on what evidence?
I don't know the details of the investigation.
Did she find out something?
Who are you?
Who... Who are you?
Do Hyun Su, you are under arrest for the murder of Park Soon Young.
It paid off to stake out outside of Do Hae Su's place.
You can't lose him! He's the accomplice!
What? Isn't he Do Hyun Su?
Hello.
Wait! If you're not helping Do Hyun Su flee...
Do you see the guy who's reading behind me?
You seem to have the wrong idea.
We'll listen to the victim's statement first.
What?
This is your cell phone that we found in the workshop.
Sir.
You're very disappointed in me, aren't you?
I have no excuse.
Since it is true that I deceived the team.
I didn't have the luxury to be disappointed.
I was too busy worrying about you.
This way.
Ji Won.
Are you hurt? Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine.
Hey, Ji Won!
I was scared half to death because of you!
- Do you know how worried I was? - How did you get away?
What about Do Hyun Su?
- Where is he? - Well...
Hae Su?
What happened?
Why did you go to Do Hae Su's home?
To catch Do Hyun Su.
That's why you were hanging around there too.
Except you were violating her privacy and stalking her.
Ask him where he was last night...
at 2:30am.
Where were you at 2:30am last night?
Why does that matter?
I was with my colleagues from 9pm to 3am last night.
At 2:30am last night, my husband...
received a call from a payphone in Makmun-dong from the accomplice.
That's why he went to Makmun-dong.
- Mommy! - Eun Ha.
What are you doing here? Where's Grandma?
I'm sorry we couldn't tell you,
but your mother is in the hospital.
What?
Mommy!
Where's Daddy?
Mom, are you okay?
I'm at the station.
I'm fine.
I'm really okay.
What about you?
No, not me. Are you okay?
Anyway, who are you, miss?
Me?
Well, I'm...
Eun Ha can't go to kindergarten right now,
so I need someone to look after her.
You're the only one I can trust.
- For a few days... - I have the time,
so I'll look after her.
I won't let you down.
Eun Ha,
Ms. Do will be teaching you how to paint and draw,
so be a good girl and get along with her.
Okay.
Ms. Do,
I love to draw.
I can't tell you any of the details yet,
but don't worry too much.
I'll get him no matter what.
Sure.
Mom,
where's Dad?
He promised to be back soon,
and I'm pretty sure he'll keep it.
- Your jacket... - Take it with you.
Once things are back to normal, we'll invite you over.
You can give it to me then.
Why not just disappear?
Pretending to be like Cha Ji Won...
won't make you a detective.
It's not until we face the choice...
that we finally get to see...
who we really are.
DETECTIVE CHA JI WON
I brought this with me too.
REPORTER KIM
- Hi, Moo Jin. - Hae Su, where are you?
I came to your place after being questioned by the police.
Your suitcase was rolling around, and you're nowhere to be seen.
I'm with Eun Ha at the moment.
Eun Ha?
I'll gather a few of her things and come to your place.
Right. I don't know what's going on, but I'll pick you up.
No, it's fine.
Just so you know, the peeping Tom was caught.
Really? Who was it?
I'll tell you in person.
Anyway, I'm sorry about earlier.
What?
I said some harsh things to you.
I already forgot you know. It's fine.
- Moo Jin. - Yes?
How is this necklace exactly the way it was?
It's still just as dazzling.
Are you wearing the necklace I gave you?
Since when?
I'll see you at your place.
Oh, right.
What happened to the door?
Did the police enter by force?
Sorry?
What? Oh, it's nothing. Let's hurry and grab your things.
What was that sound?
Maybe it's Dad.
Eun Ha, stay here. I'll take a look.
Sure.
Why are the lights off?
Detective Cha Ji Won?
- Dad? - No, stay inside!
Eun Ha, please lock the door.
Promise me this.
Don't open the door for anyone but your mom.
Can you do that for me?
Yes.
DETECTIVE CHA JI WON
I didn't want to do this,
but you make me anxious.
You're a variable I can't control.
It's why I must eliminate you.
Please don't hurt my daughter.
I beg of you.
I will...
if you answer...
my question.
Why do you believe that Do Hyun Su is innocent?
I want to know of the mistake I made...
while getting rid of Park Soon Young.
You must have a reason.
Because it's impossible...
for Hyun Su...
to kill people.
He isn't capable...
of loathing others.
I didn't use it at all after I got a call...
from that guy last night.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Let's go.
YOU CAN'T SEE ME, BUT I CAN SEE YOU.
Let me make myself clear.
