Why is that damn mutt barking again?

If you see your father, you should greet him.

You're worse than a dog.

I'm home.

Again?

You're stuttering again.

Where did that slow-witted thing come from?

Seriously.

Why did you even bring something like that home in the first place?

Because I didn't know back then this precious prince would come to me.

Eat up.

A brat who can't even speak doesn't understand speech either.

Didn't I tell you not to even come near the kitchen?

You damn bastard.

You little brat.

You're worse than a dog.

You can't even talk properly,

and all you do is waste food.

Didn't I tell you not to even set foot in the kitchen?

I-I'm sorry, Father.

Again?

You're stuttering again.

You bastard.

If you're going to be like that, then just bark.

Bark!

I said bark, you punk.

Bark!

You damn mutt.

At least you don't stutter when you bark.

You mutt.

Eat this, you punk.

(The Defects Episode 6. Real Name)

I'm currently standing in front of the crime scene.

This is the church where a pastor couple in Seoul was...

found brutally murdered.

Both Mr. Yoon and Mrs. Park were...

found dead with stab wounds to their necks.

- Goodness. - The police suspect their son, Mr. Yoon,

who went missing 2 years ago,

as the prime suspect and have begun an investigation.

It was revealed that in addition to the son,

someone else was with him during the incident,

raising the possibility of accomplices.

Yes, Assemblyman Kwon.

The bill has passed the plenary session.

You've worked hard.

Are you satisfied?

Is it all over now?

Over?

This is where it really begins.

Children shopping.

Breaking news just in.

The police have identified...

the son Mr. Yoon as the suspect in the Buchon-dong church murder case,

and are currently identifying...

three accomplices believed to have committed the crime with him.

We've just received news...

that through securing CCTV footage,

the police have partially identified suspects...

in the Buchon-dong pastor couple murder case.

Among them is their son, Mr. Yoon,

making a total of three people.

One of them has been revealed as Mr. Kwon, the son of Assemblyman Kwon Kang Man...

of the New Gyeore Party, who had taken his own life due to school violence,

causing public uproar.

(Wife)

Yes?

Honey, did you see the news?

That pastor's son.

They say there are three accomplices.

But why is Sung Woo there?

What are you talking about?

Why are the police looking for him?

He's already dead!

Wait a minute.

One of them took his own life...

- due to school violence... - Damn it.

- and he's the son of Assemblyman Kwon... - Hang up.

Yes, Assemblyman.

What do you think you're doing?

Why are the police looking for Sung Woo?

He's already dead.

Why are you making them find a dead kid?

Are you trying to screw me or what?

Assemblyman Kwon.

Do you really think our police are that stupid?

What? Don't make it hard to understand!

What are you going to do about this now?

Did you just drop honorifics to me?

What? You crazy bitch.

Where did this damn mutt of a woman come from?

Hey, I'm the one who got that bill passed.

How dare some doctor talk like that to an assemblyman!

If you keep dropping honorifics, I'll bring Kwon Sung Woo back.

Hey!

This damn...

Pardon me for my rudeness in front of you, Chief.

No, it's fine. Please speak freely.

Yes.

The authorities confirmed via CCTV comparison...

that the suspects in the pastor couple murder case are...

the same as those in the previous...

Buchon-dong home invasion murder case.

With the belief that this is a serial murder case,

the investigation has been made public,

and part of the suspects' identities have been released.

The suspects involved in this brutal crime are in their early twenties and...

Those bastards are seriously framing us for this.

Serial murder?

It wouldn't be so unfair if we had actually done it.

Sir, these guys are seriously dangerous.

Do you have proof they did this?

They're the prime suspects circumstantially, aren't they?

Everyone's out looking for them right now.

If it were revenge, it would be a premeditated crime.

But doesn't this crime scene seem...

too chaotic for it to be planned?

Almost like they wanted us to see it.

There's another suspect.

Let's go.

Hey, isn't that the Major Crimes Division?

This case will be handled by the Major Crimes Division.

Why is the Major Crimes Division here?

I didn't hear anything about this.

The Buchon-dong Han Chul-soo murder case,

and this pastor couple murder case.

As of now, they have been classified as a serial murder case.

Serial murder?

- But... - Both cases fall...

under our jurisdiction.

A special order came from above.

(Seoul Buchon Police Department Violent Crimes Team, Case Transfer Form)

How is your son doing?

Have you decided on his university?

Yes, he's going to Harvard.

It's all thanks to you, Director Kim.

No, you raised him well.

All I did was sell him for money.

I guess we're lucky.

My wife and I are very satisfied.

I can't believe there are so many people requesting refunds.

There's no end to human greed.

Still, if you clothed and fed the baby yourself,

requesting that is too...

Just because you raise a kid doesn't mean they're your child.

They have to behave to be your child.

Like your son, Chief.

Anyway, I changed the case just as you asked.

But aren't we blowing things too far out of proportion?

There's already...

a rogue detective at the local police station.

If any trouble comes up, I'll take care of it quietly.

Don't worry about that.

And now that it's gone public,

you know they'll be exposed...

to the media from arrest to investigation.

Aren't we just asking for trouble?

Especially since it's Assemblyman Kwon Kang Man...

whose son is widely known to be dead.

If the police can't catch them, problem solved.

What?

We should just kill them.

If they die, they can't catch them.

So just catch them and send them to me.

(Detective)

It's that detective from before.

What should we do, Ah Hyun? Should we answer?

No. I don't think we should.

He texted too.

This is Detective Choi Hyeong Seok from the Buchon Police Station.

I know you're not the perpetrators.

I want to help.

What do we do?

Ah Hyun.

We need to talk.

Ah Hyun.

If that detective...

really is someone we can trust,

do we need to do this ourselves?

Revenge.

What do you mean?

If we can just prove...

that we're the victims, the kids won't have to suffer like this.

Until I met you and the kids,

I'd never once been happy in my life.

Did I ever tell you?

In that house, I was treated worse than a dog.

(This is Detective Choi Hyeong Seok from the Buchon Police Station.)

(I know you're not the perpetrators. I want to help.)

Have you arrived?

I, Kwon Kang Man,

agree to disown and dispose of Kwon Sung Woo,

whom I adopted 18 years ago.

The reason is unsatisfactory quality.

Shit, do I really have to do this?

If you really want to help us, do what the police are supposed to do.

What on earth is going on?

Why isn't she coming out?

Where is the director?

Why are you blaming me?

Bring out the person in charge!

Bring the person in charge!

Are you just going to hide?

At least come up with some kind of countermeasure.

What the...

We ask for your understanding...

that the director is unable to attend due to personal reasons.

Unbelievable.

May I speak here?

Yes, please go ahead.

You're aware that the pastor couple murder case has...

been classified as a serial murder case, correct?

Yes, I'm aware.

Principal Han Cheol Soo of Daehan Elementary School...

and Pastor Yoon Se Hoon and his wife.

There are rumors...

that all three of them are your clients.

Are those suspects the defects...

that were improperly disposed of?

If that's true,

doesn't that mean the children we disposed of might...

still be alive?

- I'm so scared. - I mean...

Say something.

Disposals are carried out with 100 percent certainty.

All of the discarded items from everyone here were...

confirmed to have stopped breathing...

and were buried.

Less than one percent.

That's the probability that a refunded defect is still alive.

And what if we still don't believe it?

If the children we disposed of survived...

with that one percent chance,

then what kind of countermeasure do we have?

- What? - What?

Refunded because you hit them in a fit of anger...

but they really died.

Refunded because they didn't listen.

Refunded because they didn't grow tall.

Refunded because they played too many games.

You made bold refund requests...

for ridiculous reasons like that.

And now, you're scared of a mere one percent risk?

You should trust me.

If you hid behind masks and took no responsibility...

and left everything up to me, then you simply have to trust me.

Isn't trusting all you can do?

But if your faith still falls short,

then I'll give you something to trust.

Though it's unlikely,

if your child appears in front of you,

one million dollars.

No,

I'll give you ten million.

- Ten million? - Ten million?

That should be enough, right?

He's coming.

- Assemblyman. - Assemblyman.

- Is Kwon Sung Woo still alive? - Please say something.

Please say something, Assemblyman.

Is Kwon Sung Woo still alive?

Have you received any contact?

The Buchon-dong serial murder case has...

now been converted into a public investigation.

Kim Se Hee, that damned woman.

The current whereabouts are unknown.

You can't go in.

Suspect Kwon Sung Woo took his own life...

What is it?

I visited you once before.

You remember, don't you?

You guys can go.

Take a seat.

So, what's this about this time?

(Kwon Sung Woo Refund Request)

I, Kwon Kang Man, agree to disown and dispose of Kwon Sung Woo,

whom I adopted 18 years ago.

The reason is unsatisfactory quality.

Shit, do I really have to do this?

People these days are terrifying.

With AI and whatnot,

they can fabricate fake news this disturbingly well.

You're saying your son is really dead, is that correct?

How many times do I have to say it?

Can we please stop now?

Your son is alive.

If Sung Woo really is alive,

please bring him in front of me.

I want to see my son too.

If he truly is alive,

please let me meet him first. I'm begging you.

That's enough for today.

What do you think of the police's claim...

that Kwon Sung Woo is still alive?

Is it true you used this to gain sympathy votes?

Please respond to the rumors that this was all staged.

Everyone gathered for the press conference.

Why won't you say anything?

- Please say something. - Assemblyman.

Please speak.

Please say something, Assemblyman.

Please!

Please stop.

Please stop tormenting my son.

Our son, who had to leave this world because of his useless father.

Please, stop tormenting him.

I beg you.

Please don't make grieving parents suffer twice.

Sung Woo, I'm sorry.

This is all because of your pitiful father.

I'm sorry, my son.

If only he were alive,

how wonderful that would be.

If only he were alive...

- Sung Woo. - Sung Woo.

Sung Woo.

Damn it.

What now?

(Kim Se Hee)

This bitch won't answer her phone.

That detective earlier looked like he knew something.

So what do we do now?

Fuck.

Let's get rid of everyone.

Wipe them all out.

I'm sorry, my son.

I'm sorry.

He's not a politician. He's an actor.

His acting's really improved.

- Jung Hyun. - Yes?

Have you located the kids?

The police say they've pinpointed the area.

So I'll hear from them today.

Once they call, leak it to that man right away.

He said he wants to find his son and kill him.

We should help.

Now then, let's go take care of our own business.

If sperm and eggs are pertained for sale instead of donation,

wouldn't this lead to oversupply and eventually bring down the price?

You don't need to worry about oversupply.

We'll be controlling the supply by carefully grading...

and pricing sperm and eggs through artificial intelligence.

Interesting.

Well, I should say you sure have put a lot of thought into this project.

And to think, it hasn't even been that long since amending Bioethics Law...

has become an impending issue here in Korea.

Because I could feel that the future I dreamed of was near us.

What is the future that you dream of?

The future where parents have the right to choose the child that they want...

with the genes that they have chosen.

The future...

where there's no hatred among mankind...

because everybody is so perfect.

I dream of such a future.

Come with me.

What's Kwon Kang Man doing?

He's gathering some Korean-Chinese thugs.

He's working hard.

We've got our people tailing him.

All right. You can leave.

(Pregnant Woman Kim Ah Hyun)

Embryo transfer is ready.

Uncle.

If I really get pregnant,

and...

if...

I actually give birth,

then...

what happens to me afterward?

We should go now.

Will I be abandoned too?

Aren't you scared too, Uncle?

Scared Mom will abandon you.

Aren't you the one dropping me off?

I have something else to do.

Okay.

I'll get going.

If you're looking for someone,

you've come to the right place.

The child you requested.

We're already tracking him down.

If I were here only to find him,

I wouldn't have come this far.

Then what would you like us to do after we find him?

Would you kill him if I asked?

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Be careful, Ah Hyun.

Seok Su, take good care of the kids.

- Let's go inside. - Okay.

(Current Location of Kwon Sung Woo, Yeommi-dong Industrial Complex)

Don't worry.

We've found him.

It's obvious where a hiding son would go.

If we just kill him, we're getting 100,000 dollars, right?

Bury him in the ground, and that's an extra 100,000.

No.

If you dismember or grind him up or anything like that...

to completely get rid of him, you'll get 200,000 more.

Two hundred thousand?

Did you hear that? He said 200,000 more.

Damn it.

What's with her?

You can help me, right?

You can do that, right?

Of course, Mom.

Good. Thank you.

This is Kim Ah Hyun.

Please help me.

Should we contact her?

(Researcher Park Sung Geun)

Hey.

Thank you.

Ah Hyun.

You did well to contact me.

I didn't think you'd actually come.

Aren't you scared...

of Mom too?

I was scared too, in the past.

But the one who should be scared now...

isn't us. It's them.

All we have is our lives.

But that woman has...

so much more than just her life.

I think our location's been exposed.

Kwon Kang Man is moving toward Yeommi-dong.

(Ah Hyun)

Ah Hyun, are you on your way here?

Seok Su, get out of there! Now!

Is there still no contact?

What are you doing? Why haven't you started yet?

Ah Hyun hasn't arrived yet.

He's not answering his phone.

They said Ah Hyun's been kidnapped.

(Madam)

Yes, hello?

Sister,

the blessed day has dawned.

Would it be all right if I came to personally congratulate her?

Your thoughts alone are enough. Thank you.

But it's best to stay calm on the day of.

Is Ah Hyun feeling all right?

Yes, of course. No need to worry.

Thank you.

Kidnapped?

By whom?

We'll look into it.

Are you sure it's kidnapping?

Excuse me?

If it is, bring her back.

If not, you know what happens.

Yes, understood.

(Kim Ah Hyun)

- Yes? - Detective Choi, the kids are...

I'm arriving soon.

Detective Choi.

Detective Choi!

You two, go down.

Goodness.

Ju An.

- So Mi, look after Si Woo. - Okay.

Let's go.

Sung Woo, here you are.

Your father's looking for you.

Get them!

No.

No.

Si Woo.

You bastard.

Seok Su!

Seok Su!

According to the general election poll conducted in Seoul,

currently, Kim Tae Ho of the People's Livelihood Party is...

leading Kwon Kang Man of the New Gyeore Party...

by just one percentage point.

- It's a slim lead, but... - Hey.

Does it make sense for me to be losing to a punk like that?

What kind of sample did they use to get this nonsense?

Let's connect with our political correspondent.

In the case of candidate Kwon Kang Man,

he played a major role in revising the special school violence law,

also known as the School Violence Act,

so his party had high expectations.

But this is an unexpected result, isn't it?

Yes, well, his opponent is...

- highly supported by the MZ generation. - You bastard.

Sympathy votes? Are you kidding?

What, do you want me to beg or something?

So sympathy votes are all he needs?

Trailing by only one percent shows...

he has some public influence...

but lacks consolidation power...

Our poor Sung Woo.

What should I do?

Sung Woo.

- My son, my baby. - Sung Woo.

Sung Woo, you were here.

All the defects are here.

You haven't changed, Sung Woo.

Why did you have to be alive?

Do you even know what I've done because of you?

That woman has me completely under her thumb.

How could you...

torment me from beginning to end like this?

How?

Were you born to do that? You're worse than a dog.

Do that one thing you're good at.

Bark.

Bark.

I said bark.

Kill them.

- Seok Su. - Seok Su.

Seok Su, don't do it.

- Don't. - Seok Su.

I said stop! Don't do it!

What are you doing? Stop.

Seok Su.

Please.

Please, Father, stop.

I'm begging you, Father.

So you can speak properly.

I'll die.

I'll die just like you want, Father.

So please...

don't hurt the kids.

The kids are planning to leave far away today.

I'm not lying. They've got passports and everything ready.

So please, I'm begging you, Father.

Really? You'll do that?

You'll die for everyone?

Then I'll be glad.

All right.

Seok Su, don't.

Don't do it.

- Seok Su, don't do it. - Seok Su, that's not right.

Seok Su.

Don't.

Seok Su, don't do that.

Put that down!

Put it down!

Put it down, damn it.

Please put it down.

Come on, put it down already!

Back off.

Get away from the kids or I'll kill him.

Let the kids go.

Let them go, now!

Let them go.

Get out.

Get out, now.

Get out now.

What are you all doing? Get out now!

Sung Woo.

Sung Woo, you're hurting your dad.

Stop it, okay?

You,

from beginning to end, you never let me be happy.

I wanted to choose happiness instead of killing you.

But this is what you chose.

- Seok Su! - Seok Su!

- Seok Su. - Seok Su.

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

- Seok Su. - Look at me.

How did you even know to come here?

Look at us.

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

Don't be like that. Wake up, Seok Su.

Seok Su, stay with us.

Stay with us, Sung Woo.

Seok Su.

Say something.

Seok Su.

Seok Su!

What's wrong with him?

What's wrong with him?

Seok Su, look at me.

Seok Su, look at me.

Ah Hyun.

Seok Su.

I'm okay.

Don't talk!

Seok Su, don't talk. You're not going to die.

Even so,

it's okay.

We're all together in the end.

Seok Su.

- Wake up, Seok Su. - I like it.

Seok Su.

My real name.

Seok Su.

You bastards!

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

- Seok Su. - Don't go, Seok Su.

Wake up.

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

Wake up, Seok Su.

Seok Su.

Seok Su.

I'm sorry, Seok Su.

Seok Su, I'm sorry.

Seok Su.

Ah Hyun.

Why are you doing this to us?

What do we do now?

Ah Hyun.

Ah Hyun.

Ah Hyun.

Ah Hyun.

Seok Su.

(The Defects)

I said I'd let you live freely.

Seok Su.

Did you lose them, or let them go?

You're not a mother, Mom.

Uncle, you should stop this too.

Sister, you know your husband's DNA is...

in my daughter, right?

That's all it is.

They think they're not worth one million.

You should get a refund.

What's this? D-day?

Is there only one left now?

Please help the other children so they can keep on living too.
