01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Welcome, Jeong-suk.

Hi.

Shall I go in?

Yes, come on in.

-It wasn't an easy journey, right?

-It was okay.

I thought you might be hungry,

so I made some food.

Where's Jeong-rim?

She was feeling drowsy from medicine

and fell asleep a moment ago.

I'll wake her up in ten minutes.

Take a seat.

Okay.

I made this liquor with acacia flowers.

Would you like a glass?

No, thanks. I don't drink during work.

It's just a glass.

You're still as uncompromising

as you were in the past, Jeong-suk.

You know what?

I liked you back in the day.

-What?

-I liked you a lot.

But I couldn't do anything

because of Seong-su.

That's right.

I heard that you got a divorce.

Had I known,

I would've made a move on you.

Is it too late now?

Where's Jeong-rim?

I think you should wake her up.

-Over there.

-Okay.

Jeong-rim.

What's this?

Where's Jeong-rim?

She ran away about two years ago.

I guess you were mistaken.

I only sell products to women.

Had I known, I wouldn't have come.

I wasn't mistaken about anything.

I lied to you on purpose.

You wouldn't have come otherwise.

You know,

you're still so pretty.

I see. This is it.

Put it on.

Hey, where are you going?

You can't leave like this.

Shall I help you put it on?

Let go of me!

Hey.

Damn it.

Hey!

Jeong-suk.

You've played hard to get long enough.

Stay away.

Hey, why do you keep making me

a bad person?

I'm different from Seong-su.

-Let's be honest.

-Let go!

-Come on out.

-Let go!

Who are you?

You jerk.

Are you okay?

Detective.

Behind you!

Detective.

Hey, who do you think you are?

Ms. Han Jeong-suk.

Ms. Han Jeong-suk.

You can rest easy now.

I'll be by your side.

I apprehended the suspect.

Go inside the storehouse.

-Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir.

You must be shaken up.

Yes.

Let go of me!

-Come with us.

-What did I do wrong?

Let go of me!

Damn it!

Hey! You tell them.

What did I do to you? Say it!

-Let go!

-That's enough.

I'll drive you home. Let's go to my car.

Okay.

I think you should go to the hospital.

No, it's really okay.

A detective told me earlier

that they need my statement.

You don't need to do it today.

Taking care of yourself

should be your priority,

so don't think about anything today.

Get some rest.

Okay. See you then.

Jeong-suk!

Jeong-suk, it's us!

The in-home sales rep sisters!

Okay. Give me a second!

You came after hearing the news.

Yes. It sounds like

being the branch manager is amazing.

You get a fixed monthly salary.

It's the sweetest word

I've heard in my life.

It's sweeter than this tomato.

Jeong-suk, you heard the news first.

Out of the four of us,

you're most likely to become one.

That's right.

Jeong-suk.

Become successful as soon as possible

and show everyone!

"Show everyone"?

What? It's nothing.

What is it?

She's avoiding eye contact,

so there must be something.

Hurry up and spill.

I'm still upset about it.

I guess the supermarket lady heard

about your divorce.

She was saying all sorts of things.

She asked if the business was the cause,

said she knew it was trouble,

and asked if you'll quit work--

Geez, what a nosy woman she is!

My goodness.

So I told her

Jeong-suk wasn't the one at fault.

I told her that she got over it

and that the business is thriving.

I told her

that she had an in-home sales job

at her high school friend's house.

Oh, I see.

Useless rumors circulate

because the town is so small.

-It can't be helped.

-That's right.

Don't mind it too much.

That's right. It doesn't matter.

At times like this,

you should focus on work and show them.

Yeong-bok, you should go to

that in-home sales job with Jeong-suk.

Jeong-suk, it's at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

You have time, right?

At 2:00 p.m.? Yes.

Okay.

This is ridiculous.

How did this happen

in the middle of the night

in a quiet town like this?

Seriously.

My goodness.

Did the interrogation go well?

He keeps denying the charges.

Hold on! Damn it.

Captain, you've known me since childhood.

I wouldn't do something like that!

This is frustrating.

It really is.

Goodness.

By the way, Detective Kim,

how did you catch him in the act?

Who cares? What's important is

that he caught the culprit.

I didn't know what had happened,

so I wondered why he didn't come over

last night like he promised.

I almost got offended.

I apologize. I'll visit you soon.

All right.

After we wrap up this case nicely,

I'll invite you again.

So when will the victim come?

Due to the nature of the crime,

the victim needs psychological stability.

To separate the two sides,

I'll receive the statement in writing.

That punk will claim to be innocent.

Cross-examination

will speed up the process.

I'll take care of it on my own.

Right. The high and mighty one

will take care of it on his own.

What did you do just now?

What? It was just a light slap.

What?

Isn't this blood?

Blood? Why… Why are you bleeding?

No way.

Did you get hurt at the scene?

That must be it.

You said there was a physical fight.

I can't believe that b*stard.

Shouldn't you go see a doctor?

It's nothing.

I'll get treatment after work.

See? It wasn't me.

It doesn't look like it's nothing.

Gosh, that could've been bad.

This is it.

Put it on.

Hello?

This is Detective Kim Do-hyeon.

Yes, Detective.

I plan to receive

your statement in writing.

So I want to give you the documents

and explain them to you in person.

Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?

I have work then.

You're going back to work already?

You should take a few days off.

No, I need to work.

My family's livelihood depends on it.

You know…

I'd like to ask you something.

What happened yesterday…

There's no way

people will find out about it, right?

Excuse me?

People already think

that my business has brought trouble

to a quiet town, so I'm a bit worried.

I'll make sure to keep this quiet.

Thank you.

I think I'll start working around

2:00 p.m. and finish around 5:00 p.m.

It's near the place where we met

that one time.

Okay. See you there tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.

Make sure Ms. Han Jeong-suk's case

doesn't become public knowledge.

Okay.

Where's Detective Na?

He'll talk to the possible witnesses

of the motorcycle theft case

and go home from there.

Will he…

When I hit his vital point,

he was stricken like this.

I landed another kick

and finished him off with a flying kick.

-My goodness.

-Gosh.

-Then came a 540-degree roundhouse kick.

-Goodness.

He's different.

-He's different.

-Yes.

After finishing him off,

I approached the woman to help her up.

Suddenly, this punk came up behind me

-with a shovel.

-No way.

With a big and hard shovel,

he hit me in the back.

So what happened then?

It was like…

-I felt like my bone was broken.

-Of course.

But I knew

that I couldn't pass out like that.

That's right.

So I turned around right away

and grabbed the shovel.

What? Did you bend the shovel?

Gosh, you're incredible.

I almost made an action film

in that flower farm storehouse.

-My goodness.

-You're cool.

-You're truly amazing.

-Yes.

By the way, isn't that Jeong-suk's story?

She sells adult products.

What?

-You said you went uptown yesterday.

-Yes.

The flower farm uptown

is run by Gyeong-sik.

Yes.

Jeong-suk went there to sell products.

What?

All the pieces are coming together.

How are you so good

at putting the clues together?

You should be a detective. I'll retire.

-What? So was it really Jeong-suk?

-Was it?

No. I didn't say anything.

A police officer shouldn't talk

about an ongoing investigation.

Don't go around telling stories, okay?

My back hurts.

It was her.

-I'm 100% sure.

-I'm 1,000% sure.

-That means Jeong-suk's the victim.

-That's right.

Yes, it's a little bit tasty.

"A little bit tasty"?

Jeong-suk, talk to us for a second.

Jeong-suk, are you home?

-What brings you here at this hour?

-Is the rumor true?

-What…

-Gyeong-sik.

Why did you go to a single man's house?

-What?

-Mom.

Yes. Let's talk about that later.

I knew you were something else

when you began selling such items.

Apparently, Gyeong-sik feels

really wronged.

He said you were the one

who seduced him first.

My child is here. Please stop and go home.

-Where do you think you're going?

-Hey.

I'm not done talking.

What's with your manners?

If you cherish your child,

you should behave yourself.

Stop this and leave!

Seriously!

What have you done so right

for you to yell at us?

That's right!

Mom.

-It's okay.

-Will you be able to live in this town?

How could you be such a Jezebel

behind our backs?

How could a mother do that?

-Behave yourself.

-You won't be able to live here.

This is a small town, okay?

CHARMING HAIR SALON

What?

Was he the son

of the real estate agency's owner?

He looks nothing like his mom.

Let's go inside.

What? Mom.

New York Hair Salon is better.

-Really?

-I got my hair done there.

-Is that so?

-Yes.

Then I should go to Charming Hair Salon.

Why do you want me to get my hair done?

Is Aunt coming as well?

Yes.

The entire family will come. Grandma too.

What? Grandma's coming?

Didn't you know?

We're having Grandma's

birthday dinner today.

Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't need to know.

I plan to tell her

that you're studying late every day

to transfer to a pharmacy school.

Are you telling me not to come?

-It's Grandma's birthday.

-So what if you come?

In front of your relatives who went

to good schools and became doctors,

you'll say stupid stuff.

That's too harsh, Mom.

-He--

-Be quiet!

Hurry up and go to work. You follow me.

Ju-ri.

-Is he behind bars?

-Of course.

-I can't believe it.

-You can never know someone's true colors.

-I thought he was the nicest man.

-Seriously.

-My goodness.

-Everyone is here.

-Did you hear about it?

-What?

Gyeong-sik's case!

It's a total ruckus.

Jeong-suk went through a lot.

Oh, no.

-Don't spread the story.

-Is it true?

Jeong-suk!

-Come over here.

-Hey.

Hey.

What? Did she leave?

Who…

Oh, you must be the in-home sales lady.

Right? Come on in.

My wife is busy

doing something in the kitchen, so wait.

Well, the thing is…

What?

What's wrong?

My wife is waiting. Hey!

Wasn't she an in-home sales rep?

I think so, but…

It's me, Detective Kim Do-hyeon.

Yes, Detective.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Like I said before,

you should take a break from work.

I'll drive you home.

No.

I've worried my coworkers many times

with my personal issues.

I don't want more ridiculous rumors.

Running away and covering up

might not be the best option.

Even if it's stressful,

don't you want to set things right

by facing it and tackling it?

That's what the Han Jeong-suk

I know would do.

Exactly what should I face

and tackle?

I'll take care of my business.

Ms. Oh, thank you for coming

on such short notice.

Don't mention it.

By the way, it's unlike Jeong-suk

to cancel on things.

Did something happen?

I know.

She might be very sick,

so I'm going to drop by.

She looked a bit down yesterday,

so I'm worried.

I know.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Did you go somewhere?

We're on our way back from work.

At a time like this?

Jeong-suk's case

has turned the town upside down.

What are you talking about?

Did I thank him?

I'm a mess.

Jeong-suk.

She's coming.

Ms. Oh. Yeong-bok.

My poor thing.

Yeong-bok, what's wrong?

Did something happen?

We know what happened to you.

Why didn't you tell us?

How do you know?

The video rental shop owner told us.

All the women in the town seemed to know.

-I see.

-It's my fault!

I should've gone with you that day.

I should've realized

that something was off yesterday.

I'm so sorry, Jeong-suk.

Don't be.

I'm the one who should apologize.

I canceled on today's sales.

My desire to get promoted led to this.

It's my fault.

How is it your fault?

It's that scumbag's fault!

That's right!

I think women in this town are so mean.

How could they be so shameless?

What do you mean?

Well, Gyeong-sik's mother

asked townspeople

for petitions and statements.

The owners of the supermarket,

hardware store and butcher shop

will go to the police station

and testify tomorrow.

For now, let go of your worries and rest.

That's right.

Ju-ri will have in-home sales

until late today,

so we'll talk to her tomorrow

and resolve the matter.

"Resolve the matter"?

How could they corner the innocent victim?

They're less than human.

I'll teach them a lesson tomorrow.

I'm not taking out my anger on them.

What was the term, Ms. Oh? Serve…

-Serve justice.

-Yes.

This is serving justice.

Running the hair salon

and doing the in-home sales…

It's exhausting to have two jobs.

JINHYANG HOF

It's too late

to call the girls over, right?

-Sir.

-It has been a while.

Yes.

Ju-ri, are you coming

from the in-home sales?

Yes. It's my sister's day off,

so she's babysitting Dong-u.

It's free time for me.

I'd like whelks and soju.

Sir, a table for four.

Okay. All right.

Please wait.

Please wait.

It seems like you know him.

Would you please sit with him?

As you can see,

we don't have enough tables.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

All right. Please sit here.

Welcome.

Please take this table.

What would you like?

Well, this is awkward.

I'm sorry.

What?

I was the one who got the wrong idea.

Then I became sullen.

What do you mean?

You told me

that I looked like Shim Shin.

I thought you liked me.

-It's funny, right?

-I mean…

I'm not used to receiving compliments.

My mom never told me

that I looked handsome.

So hearing your compliment…

made me excited.

Well, it's okay.

I said empty words.

I'm sorry.

So, we're even.

We're even.

-Hey.

-What?

Stop drinking.

You didn't do anything wrong, okay?

Yes, I did.

Had I studied

a bit harder…

Had I been a bit more successful…

I would've been able to see my grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

If you miss her so much, go and see her!

Follow me.

What?

Hurry up.

-Hurry up.

-Where are we going?

Let's hurry up and go.

Hold on.

My goodness.

Yeong-ja, thanks for the meal.

-If only you visited more often.

-Thank you so much.

-You should visit often.

-Okay.

-Seriously.

-Have a safe trip home.

She's your grandma, right?

She has aged a lot.

Grandma, please live a long life.

I want to become successful

and meet you as a proud grandson.

I think it'll take too long.

-Have a safe trip home.

-All right.

Bye.

I'll call you.

Grandma.

Don't cry.

Blow your nose.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Let me see you.

Why are you crying? Goodness.

I'm sorry.

I must be very drunk.

You suddenly looked so pretty.

So when you're sober, I don't look pretty?

You still look pretty.

He should've controlled himself.

Why did he leave such a big mark?

Was it his first kiss?

Then he must be very excited now.

CHARMING HAIR SALON

No way.

At his age,

it couldn't have been his first kiss.

Ju-ri, I can't believe you.

You shouldn't have drunk so much, Ju-ri.

What? Hello.

What brings you here?

We have something to tell you.

Where's Dong-u?

He's at Jeong-suk's place.

What?

Jeong-suk needs some rest.

Why? Is Jeong-suk sick?

Are you worried about something?

No.

Eat some melon.

Here you go.

I wish you'd stay home every day.

You're such a kid.

Even a single game costs money.

Moms need to work

so that we can do what we want.

You need to look far ahead.

Still, I like it when Mom stays home.

By the way, can we play outside?

I don't want to.

It's because of Yeong-min, right?

Mom, there's a kid

who always picks a fight with us.

It's not that I'm a coward.

He's this big like Lee Man-gi.

It's best to avoid Yeong-min.

Why should we avoid him?

Why should the ones

who did nothing wrong go into hiding?

Isn't it unfair?

Even if we get hurt,

we should face him head-on.

That way, a bright future will come

to this beautiful planet Earth.

Did you watch Flashman yesterday?

Yes.

That was what Number One said

to Number Five.

You're right.

Flashman always speaks the truth.

Okay. There's no bright future

for the cowards

who always run away and hide.

Let's face him head-on.

Okay. Let's go.

Let's go.

-See you later.

-See you later.

Be safe.

SUPERNOVA FLASHMAN

Even if it's stressful,

don't you want to set things right

by facing it and tackling it?

That's what the Han Jeong-suk

I know would do.

How could they corner the innocent victim?

They're less than human.

KEEP YOUR CHIN UP FOR JUSTICE!

Is this the solution?

I know this since I've had many fights

in my younger days.

In a fight, you should break

the other's spirit to win.

You have to look charismatic.

That's right.

Whether it's psychological or physical,

let's win no matter what.

That's right.

I'm coming too.

What? Jeong-suk.

You're coming?

Yes.

It's my business.

GEUMJE POLICE STATION

Come on!

Are you certain?

We're certain. Isn't that right?

That's right.

There have been many problems.

I haven't met a nicer person.

Please make sure that there's no harm.

Ms. Han Jeong-suk.

What brings you here?

Who are these women?

We're town residents.

We're here to testify.

We talked to Jeong-suk

on the phone that night.

We'll tell you everything we remember.

That's right. Don't pay attention

to what those women said!

I'm certain their statements

are just emotional and absurd!

Is that so?

All of their statements were in her favor.

What?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Yes, it's true.

They told us

about Mr. Kim's unusual tendencies

they heard from his ex-wife

and how he pretended to be married

even after she ran away.

They gave such statements.

Why?

You always said

that we cause trouble in this town.

You bad-mouthed us and called us indecent.

"Bad-mouth"? Not at all!

The products you guys sell are indecent.

Jeong-suk did nothing wrong.

That's right.

We bought those items

only because Jeong-suk was selling them.

We know that she's decent and hardworking.

Why on earth would you seduce

a scumbag like Gyeong-sik?

You were Ms. Chili Pepper

in your younger days.

Give me a break.

-What?

-What?

It's that b*stard.

She's fooling all of you.

She isn't fooling us, you b*stard!

Had Jeong-suk needed money,

she would've borrowed it from us.

Why would she go to your house?

-She was scheming all along.

-What?

She was going for the settlement money,

not some petty sales money!

-How dare you…

-Goodness.

When she showed me

those promiscuous clothes

and seduced me, I should've said no.

-Hey, Kim Gyeong-sik!

-What a crazy b*stard!

Hey, I'll grant your death wish!

-You punk.

-Let go.

-Why are you laughing, you punk?

-Yeong-bok.

Women, be quiet!

The police station

is not some kids' playground!

How are we supposed to be quiet?

He keeps spouting nonsense!

Isn't that right?

-My goodness.

-Come here.

-Hey, come here.

-Please.

-Stay still.

-No!

Stop!

What?

Do you have something to say?

Shut your mouth.

What was that?

What are you whispering?

She's like that.

She was all bleary-eyed

and whispered things to me that day.

Shut your mouth, you perverted freak!

My goodness.

What should I do?

I shouldn't have used violence.

I didn't see anything.

What?

I'm sure other people

didn't see anything either.

I'm sorry.

You even got hurt because of me that day.

But I didn't even thank you properly.

I also got sensitive

when you were just worrying about me.

It's okay.

I regretted saying those words

because I think I only thought

about my frustration.

That frustration was relieved

a moment ago though.

Jeong-suk!

She's out.

Many people are waiting for you.

You should get going.

I hope you take care

after what happened today.

Why did I get tofu?

Seriously. People will think

that she got discharged from prison.

She was at the police station,

so she should eat it.

Of course. Eat it.

You need to eat white tofu

to keep out of dirty troubles.

So eat it and poop it out.

Yes.

You really surprised me this time.

What?

I thought you had grudges against her.

Grudges? No way.

It's natural to favor your family,

so I had no choice but to take

my husband's side.

But a part of me felt indebted to her.

So I paid off my debt this time.

Stop worrying about it and eat your tofu.

There you go.

Technically, all of us have been

to the police station. We need tofu too.

You're right. Please give one tofu each

to all the police station visitors.

I'll pay for yours too.

-My goodness.

-Gosh.

-Great.

-How much is the total?

Then would it be okay

to have a soft drink as well?

Of course.

All right. That's a good idea.

One, two, three, four, five and six…

-I'll be back.

-I was asking her only for three of us.

Ms. Oh, you're the best.

Thank you.

I feel so much better.

By the way, wasn't Jeong-suk

absolutely insane?

She didn't even slap him.

She suddenly smacked his head.

I didn't know Jeong-suk

was so good at swearing.

-Yes.

-She went, "Shut your trap!"

-Yes.

-Really?

I don't think I said "trap."

Did I?

I found it so satisfying.

That's right.

I don't think I'd be able to say anything

in front of someone like that.

That's right.

Jeong-suk, how are you so gutsy?

Did you get coached?

Come to think of it, I did.

-What?

-What?

Who coached you?

Flashman.

What?

What?

And…

there was one other person.

PERPETRATOR: KIM GYEONG-SIK

HAN JEONG-SUK

Shut your mouth, you perverted freak!

This is Detective Kim Do-hyeon

of Geumje Police Station.

Detective, it's me, Han Jeong-suk.

Hello.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

Are you free tomorrow by any chance?

Tomorrow?

Yes.

GEUMJE POLICE STATION

What? What's this?

Did you pull an all-nighter?

Yes.

The report on the Kim Gyeong-sik case

is on your desk.

Man, things are moving along so speedily.

Thanks to you, I'll be able to save face.

It's suspicious.

What do you mean?

It must've been a hassle,

but he visited her to investigate

and stayed up all night

to finish the report.

He cares a lot

about that in-home sales rep.

I smell something.

I am sure…

that he wants a discount

on the adult products.

What?

Adult products for men

are quite expensive.

A power ring is 10,000 won.

A fragrant condom is 3,000 won a piece.

A tiny bottle of massage oil is

10,000 won.

By the way, how do you know

such details?

You sound like someone

who wants those items.

Gosh, what? As if I need them!

So stop spouting nonsense

and focus your attention on Du-seok.

He got discharged from prison today.

We'll have a lot to deal with from now on.

Man, watch where you're going.

It's nice to be back home.

It has been a while.

EOM DAE-GEUN, LEE JU-RI

Sixty-two percent?

The compatibility is worse

than I expected.

Who cares?

We can work together to make up

for the missing 38%.

Thirty-eight percent.

-What are you doing?

-You startled me!

You startled me, Mr. Choi.

Did I startle you?

I'm terribly sorry.

There are a ton of medicines

that need to be sorted.

-I mean--

-But I shouldn't have startled

an idle employee.

-I was--

-Right?

-I was--

-I feel so bad

that I don't know what to do!

I was about to do it, okay?

Why is this fly being so loud

at this very moment?

He'll be the death of me.

-Hello.

-Welcome.

I've been so queasy these days.

I keep having an upset stomach.

Give me your hand.

-Okay.

-The other one.

Okay.

How does it feel?

I feel nothing.

Right? You seem to be okay.

This part isn't hard or anything.

You didn't eat anything bad, did you?

Yesterday evening,

I had tofu with other people.

But everyone else is fine,

so I don't think it's food poisoning.

Just give me some digestion medicine.

-Please.

-Okay.

By any chance…

Yes?

Is there a chance you're pregnant?

Me?

It hasn't been long since I gave birth.

I'm still breastfeeding her.

It is only a myth

that breastfeeding prevents pregnancy,

so you should check and make sure.

Gosh, I have four children.

I'd know if I were pregnant.

Just give me the digestion medicine.

Okay then.

Damn it.

Hello?

It's me, Du-seok.

So you're alive.

I wondered if something had happened

since you never visited.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't visit you

since I was busy with my children.

I understand.

In any case, let's meet up.

Where do you live?

Don't tell me you still live

in that studio.

You're far from the brightest

when it comes to life.

Hey.

There's a job coming up.

Do you want to join me?

-What?

-I know that you quit,

but this one is really safe.

You have four children.

You should live in an apartment

with two rooms and a living room.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

You might think otherwise,

but I'm perfectly happy.

If you're going to say such nonsense,

don't call me again.

I'd feel embarrassed

if you shut me down like that.

Don't be so certain.

No man steals money because he wants to.

It's the situation that drives him.

-You're back.

-Yes.

-Did you buy digestion medicine?

-Yes, I took it.

Hold on. Let me make some porridge.

Okay.

Detective.

You got here first.

Yes. Please take a seat.

Have you thought about my offer?

Yes.

I came here to say no.

I'm really thankful

that you want to help me

find my parents.

But I think this is a problem

I should solve

by myself.

I think you felt the same.

You felt bad when you saw me

bottle up my problems

without asking for anyone's help.

Oh, that's--

It's nothing complicated.

Why don't we just begin?

If I'm not much help,

you can cut me off heartlessly then.

Come on in.

I only sleep here,

so there's nothing to see.

I see.

It's in the basement,

so I'll go turn the lights on.

Okay.

You can come downstairs now.

Okay.

All right.

Be careful.

Wow.

There is so much material.

Yes.

I thought it was very likely

that the woman who left me

at the church nursery was from Geumje.

But I'm not sure if she still lives here.

Are you saying that one of these women

might be your mother?

I don't know.

I don't know if she was my mother

or someone who found me by chance.

I narrowed down the candidates

in order to hear the story myself.

I found a new clue.

A clue?

BABIES KEEP DISAPPEARING

WITH THE FIRE

KIDNAP AFTER ARSON? FIFTH CASE

I had no idea

that there were such cases in Geumje.

So this person set houses on fire

and kidnapped babies amidst the chaos.

That's right.

In many cases, babies from poor families

were the targets.

How did this happen to so many babies?

At first, they thought it was

a simple disappearance.

They found out belatedly

that it was a serial kidnapping case

and switched to a public investigation.

Had the case been public from the start,

there would've been fewer victims.

By the way,

may I ask you why you think

this case is related to you?

My goodness.

It's a burn scar I've had

ever since I got left at the nursery.

The woman who left me there said

that she found me without my parents

after a big fire in the town.

And…

I keep having the same dream.

I don't know when it began,

but I've been having the same nightmare.

I don't remember the last time

I slept peacefully.

Now,

we need to look into this case.

Yes.

We need to reinvestigate from the start

and take a different approach.

Then you'll definitely need

my help.

I often meet up with women in the town,

so I'll interview them.

I think they'll feel more comfortable

talking to me than to you.

I'm sorry about leaving so suddenly.

I lost track of time.

I should've helped you clean up.

It's okay.

I'll walk you home.

It's okay.

The bus stop is right out front.

Please go back inside.

POSSIBILITY OF BEING THE VICTIM

OF SERIAL KIDNAPPING AFTER ARSON

IF HE'S THE VICTIM OF THE CRIME,

HIS PARENTS MIGHT BE

LOOKING FOR HIM

They might be looking for me?

What? It's Mom.

Mom!

My goodness.

You said I was the best

when I bought you an ice cream.

But you don't even hesitate to ditch me

at the sight of your mom.

I understand.

There's no one in the world

a child loves more than his mom.

You're right.

Mom is the best in the world.

Did things go well?

-What were you up to?

-Well…

What? My notebook!

Why is the door open?

Detective.

Detective.

Detective.

Detective.

Detective.

I don't know when it began,

but I've been having the same nightmare.

I don't remember the last time

I slept peacefully.

Could it be…

Detective.

Detective.

Are you okay?

Did you have a nightmare?

A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS

We should do something to attract them.

Why don't we give movie tickets

to those who attend in-home sales events?

Jeong-suk,

you're so driven with the branch manager

promotion coming up.

Why did you get involved with that b*stard

and do something that'd get in your way

for the rest of your life?

It's been more than 30 years.

Catching the culprit

won't make a difference

since the statute of limitations

has expired.

She could think we're

a couple who are shopping.

Let's pretend to be a couple

who are getting married soon.

When she lets her guard down,

we'll ask questions

as naturally as possible.

It's just that when I'm with you,

I become a bit confused.

I want to check.
