[My daughter]

[Ka-eun, I cooked kimchi stew,]

[your favorite.]

[Would you like to join me?]

[Ka-eun, I cooked kimchi stew, your favorite...]

[I'm sleeping over at my friend's house tonight.]

[Don't call me.]

It was so good. Right?

The weather is nice.

[See you tomorrow at school.]

Bye, guys.

♫ I love it ♫

My goodness.

[TEAM BULLDOG: OFF-DUTY INVESTIGATION]

[TEAM BULLDOG: OFF-DUTY INVESTIGATION]

My gosh, you startled me!

-Here's my score. -No, don't.

What's your problem?

Don't you know how to knock?

I knocked so many times.

You just couldn't hear me because you were busy singing.

Gosh, are you trying to build a temple or something?

Are you making a tower of boxes so you could wish for something?

Are you going to pray for better dancing skills?

Shut it.

What tower? My clothes are here. My books are there.

Everything was placed precisely as if a computer did the job.

Are you going to sleep in midair?

I guess I'll see you in a viral video soon.

Stop trying to start a fight.

What do you want?

Those boxes are mine. Don't touch them.

I heard you already agreed to that before you signed the contract.

Have fun dancing.

Bye.

Darn you. I'm not even curious.

What are they?

[Do Not Touch]

"C, D, C, D, D, C, C". My goodness.

I can't believe he managed to get a job

with a report card like this. Good for him.

What's this?

My gosh, look at this. I feel bad for him.

He was consistently ugly

even when he was young.

There's nothing to see. What was the fuss about?

There.

That was no fun at all.

[The Boxcutter Serial Murder Case]

[Announcement]

Hey, congratulations.

Thanks.

Your skin looks so nice now. It's all thanks to the promotion.

Hello, Inspector Jin.

Hello, Senior Officer Min.

You're no longer a regular police officer.

Are you going somewhere?

Oh, you got transferred to the main branch.

Yes, I got lucky.

Everyone is busy moving around after their promotions

except our section chief.

-Hi, guys. -Hello.

-Hello, sir. -Congratulations.

My goodness, Senior Inspector Seo.

Congratulations on your promotion.

I heard you're going to Daejeon Police Station.

Should I call you "director" now?

That's nonsense.

I feel a bit bad.

There's no need.

I'm just grateful I didn't get fired.

Gosh, what's going on?

What's with the awkward mood?

You know what? I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight.

-Really? -Nice.

-You're the best. -Thanks.

You're amazing.

Enjoy the dinner, you guys.

If I join, it'll only make you guys feel uncomfortable.

Gosh, just join us and make us feel uncomfortable.

You can come and congratulate us on our promotions.

Are you doing this on purpose?

You know me well.

I know how much you love eel, so I want to buy you some.

-Hey, Dae-jin. Tell him his Eel Rights. -Yes, sir.

Listen carefully. Mr. Seo In-jae,

you have the right to choose between sea eels and freshwater eels.

You may eat as much as you want

and may feel free to order more.

However, if you order too much, you might not get invited again.

Is that understood, sir?

You're coming, right?

Okay, fine.

Let's all say hello.

This is the team I worked on the pilot show with.

This is my competent assistant director, and these are my writers.

It's nice to meet you.

Forget the introduction.

Let's decide on next week's topic.

Tell me what you have.

Let's carry on with last week's topic

and do an episode on the brain structure of serial killers.

Good idea.

I heard they have a completely different brain structure.

I brought a few unsolved cases--

Wait a minute.

Do you want us to find the culprits or something?

We're not detectives.

Don't you think you're milking the same topic too much?

Do you seriously want to do another episode on serial killers?

You barely managed to increase your ratings.

We need something more shocking.

Remember that case when a woman killed her daughter-in-law

because she had an affair with her husband?

-What do you think? -It sounds good.

"The secret behind the fall."

"Who really killed the daughter-in-law?"

That's what I'm talking about. It already gets you curious.

Don't you agree?

A feud between a mother and daughter-in-law?

This isn't a low-class TV show.

"Fact Check" is a high-quality investigative journalism show.

Moo-young, then do you have another topic?

Something more shocking than mine?

Of course. Yes, of course.

It's way more shocking.

Tell us what you have.

What's the matter?

It's not more shocking.

Moo-young, the story doesn't matter.

It's more important to maintain the show's ratings.

First of all...

Wait a second.

[You're invited to a Korean feast at Red-Zone Bar.]

-Hello. -Welcome, Director Kang.

What's all this?

Thanks to you guys, I was able to take revenge for Kang Su.

This is nothing compared to that.

But I, Teddy Jeong,

always pay people back whether it's for something good or bad.

-Eat up. -Thank you for the food.

Thank you.

My gosh, this is a huge chunk of meat.

Do you want me to cut it for you?

No. I can cut it myself.

Do you have a fork?

Looking for tools?

Thank you. Thanks.

She startled me.

-Dr. Lee. -Yes?

-What's wrong? -What?

No, it's just that my daughter has been radio silent

since yesterday.

She did text me that she was going over to her friend's house.

That's how girls at her age are.

They like their friends more than their dads.

-Right? -Of course.

All right. Help yourselves.

Don't mind me.

You haven't gotten any sunlight and have to stay down here.

That explains your asthma.

-Occupational hazard. -Oh, no.

You must take care of yourself if you have asthma.

Okay. Organic pears were used to make

this juice from Hundred Year Good Life.

It's more efficient if you drink it with bellflower juice.

The juice will unclog your stuffy throat

like a plumber unclogs a toilet, Teddy.

-One set each, please. -Yes.

-Three sets each. -Deal.

I can tell you also have housewife's eczema.

Oh, this? I have to wash dishes and stuff.

My hands are always wet.

This is a great choice for a man's delicate hands.

I recommend men's ointment

from Hundred Year Good Life.

I didn't know about this product.

If your wife beats you,

I have bruise removal cream for men.

-I'm single. -Oh, no.

I also have cream to remove

laugh lines to help you get out of a single life.

Come on, that's enough.

This isn't some marketplace. Stop that.

But whatever Mr. Tak says sounds pretty convincing.

Let me see.

You know, over there. That cream.

I applied this cream on a corpse. But the corpse got a zit.

-What? -What?

It's for the living. Why did you apply it on a corpse?

I was doing a clinical trial.

But why are you getting mad at me?

Hey, all right. Listen.

Given that a group of lacking individuals came together for this case,

the result was pretty good. Okay?

But let's make this our last case together.

Whenever I see you guys, it embarrasses me.

Seriously? You're the biggest beneficiary of this joint investigation.

We shouldn't hear that from you.

Thanks to us, you caught the real culprit and the copycat.

You even got promoted.

What about you?

Your TV show almost got canceled which could have put you on the streets.

You got the highest ratings, so your show didn't get canceled.

Then, only the two of you benefited from this.

Look here.

Mr. Tak, you cleared Jang Min-gi's name.

And Mr. Jeong was able to get justice for his friend.

Once again, I'd like to thank you for that.

Excuse me. The ribs are boiling.

-What about me? -What?

What did I get out of it?

Dr. Lee...

Oh, right. You should ask that guy for a bigger fee.

Oh, right.

This is the repair fee for my camera.

-There. -My medical bill.

I got shot.

You owe me the fee for using my space and 500 skulls.

You'll give me a good price, right?

I'm raising a daughter. Gosh, raising a kid costs a lot.

Goodness. You guys are unbelievable.

It looks like you needed my wallet, not my cuffs.

-What's that? -But still, I should settle them.

My gosh, Gang-ho!

I mean, Detective Jin.

All right. Director Kang whom I don't like,

buy a new camera.

-Thank you. -My gosh.

-All right. Mr. Tak, the pyramid schemer. -Yes.

Go and put in a brand-new shoulder.

Thank you.

-Let's see. Dr. Lee. -How much?

-Yes. -It's 45 dollars for renting the space.

The skulls you busted. That's about 52 dollars.

The total would be 97 dollars.

Let's settle it at 97 dollars.

Here you go. Give me back three dollars for the change.

And please issue me the cash receipt.

You were very generous with the others. Why are you being so cheap with me?

You're sensitive.

You are indeed.

Here you go.

-My gosh. Thank you. -Gosh.

You love money, don't you?

Who would say no to money?

Hey, Dae-jin.

What?

-You're here. -Hey.

-Is this the place? -Yes. Over there.

Excuse me.

Gang-ho.

-Hey. -He found the body.

Hello.

So you found the body when you were about to clean it.

At first, I wondered why someone would throw away a bag down there.

As you can see, a manhole lid is pretty heavy

and it doesn't have handles.

You can't open it up without proper tools.

That means you wouldn't open it unless when you have to clean.

But we rarely clean it. We clean it once every decade.

A lot of places don't clean them.

This is probably the first time

they opened this sewer manhole since the hospital opened.

I see. Thank you.

-Sure. -Thank you.

-Come this way. -Okay.

This is the perfect place to dispose of a body.

No security cameras.

And they rarely open the manhole.

That means unless he worked here, the culprit wouldn't have known about it.

The corpse turned into grave wax.

So we received an urgent request to perform an autopsy. What do we do?

Gosh, we received such a hard case

when the chief is away at a symposium.

Other medical examiners' schedules are already full.

This puts us in a tight spot.

We have part-time medical examiners.

Right. But they are busy too.

They're not usually available unless we schedule it in advance.

Is there anyone we can call? Anyone who retired?

A retired medical examiner?

[Ka-eun, did you sleep well at your friend's house?]

[Are you at school now?]

[Jeong Gu-yeong of NFS]

What?

What are you doing here, Mr. Funeral Director?

"Mr. Funeral Director"? He's not a medical examiner?

He's a designated medical examiner of the NFS.

-I see. -All right.

Let's start.

This guy has a lot to say.

The corpse that turned into grave wax can hold its initial shape

even after many years.

That won't be hard to pinpoint the year he was murdered.

It takes about a year for the corpse to turn into grave wax.

So he must have been murdered before that.

All right. Please tell me how you died.

We will listen to everything.

Let's take a look.

This side.

I don't see any external injuries.

Right. It's way too clean.

But he still has his fingerprints.

I ran his prints in the system, but we couldn't identify him.

I bet.

Let's look at his teeth.

Given the development of his teeth, he might be a teenager.

My gosh. The width of his pelvis supports my assumption too.

He was an adolescent, so his fingerprints weren't registered.

If there are no external injuries,

should we check if he was poisoned?

Hold on.

I see something underneath his nails.

It's blood.

It's highly likely it's the culprit's blood, right?

Scalpel.

His stomach is clean.

I don't see any needle marks on his body.

That means he drank it.

But I don't think poison was what killed him.

There are no external injuries, but his rib was fractured.

And his liver and lungs were ruptured.

We need to get a CT scan.

Gosh, his rib wasn't the only thing that was fractured.

His entire body must have been bruised.

His skin covered them up when grave wax formed.

So I couldn't detect any external injuries.

I don't see a single bone intact. They are all fractured.

Multiple fractures due to a severe beating.

He was probably beaten up by a group.

Or he was habitually assaulted.

As soon as you get the DNA result,

try finding a match among teenagers on the missing persons list.

-Yes. -Goodness.

Ka-eun.

Ka-eun, are you back?

Ka-eun.

[The person you have reached is not available...]

[Ka-eun, are you done at the academy?]

[Do you want me to pick you up?]

I thought I made myself clear when I told you to stay put.

Where did you go yesterday?

My wife's medicine ran out, so I went to the pharmacy.

Why didn't you wait inside?

I find myself back here whenever we find an old corpse.

It's like I'm on autopilot mode.

Are you suspicious of me when I'm just a weak old man?

Of course, I am.

Don't do anything or else you'll be in real trouble.

Don't die on your own either.

Ka-eun? Where on earth...

Oh, yes. Hello.

Here you go.

Did you not have any appointments this morning?

-Appointments? -Yes.

I heard you're working as a surgeon at a general hospital.

Did Ka-eun say that?

Yes.

Well, I was a coroner at NFS,

so that's not entirely wrong.

But I work as a funeral director right now.

Sorry?

I'm sure you're busy, but I asked to see you

because I thought we needed to discuss Ka-eun's behavior.

She was absent a lot, so the record doesn't look so good.

That's impossible.

She went to school every morning.

She's been absent for two days in a row.

It looks like you don't know much about Ka-eun.

Then you probably don't know what kind of kids she hangs out with, right?

[Myeongjin Middle School, Myeongjin High School]

Guys, we're here.

-Why are you so late? -Whatever. Hurry.

Hey.

[She hangs out with the runaways]

[who are in and out of juvenile detention.]

[Where are you right now?]

[Why did you skip school?]

[Where are you right now? Why did you skip school?]

[I just met with your homeroom teacher.]

[Ka-eun, are you in trouble?]

[I'm so worried about you.]

[I'm sorry. Something came up with a friend yesterday.]

[I'm fine. I'll tell you everything when I get home at night.]

[It's all right if you're fine.]

[But let's have dinner together.]

These are the credible tip-offs I sorted out.

How's this? It's about a loan broker who conned people and ran away.

Three victims aren't enough.

We can't make a story.

Then, how about the mystery of the unidentified body found in Yangseong?

The other company is already working on it.

They'll air it next week.

I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner.

Why would you be?

They should be blamed for starting too early.

To beat the other team, we need to bring in something big.

It has to be very impactful and shocking.

-You know that, right? -Of course.

-Hello. -What are you all doing here?

Working for the future of Fact Check.

You haven't picked the topic yet.

When will you investigate and shoot?

Just back Director Hong up this week.

Please. How could my superior back me up?

I just wish I could use this conference room freely.

Gosh, that's a given.

Use it. Use it however you want.

Thank you.

Director Kang, why don't you and your team go out once in a while?

-There's a lounge upstairs too. -Chief!

How could you do this?

I raised the ratings,

and I'm the main director here!

If you keep this up, I won't work.

Come out. Let's go.

Moo-young, we can share the room.

Gosh.

We're going to freeze to death

if we hold a meeting here.

Don't say that when you're so young. I'll die first if anything.

I'm older.

It feels bitter, so let's go get some bitter coffee.

We don't have a lot of expenses left.

I'll just go get some vending machine coffee for us--

Hey.

The vending machine coffee isn't enough to heal our broken hearts.

Come on, get up.

-I can at least buy you some coffee. -Yes, you should do that at least!

I'm sorry.

-I must've heard it wrong. -Right.

Let's go.

It feels better now that it's warm, right?

-I feel so much better. -This is how meetings should be.

I like it.

You should've been cold for longer.

Look it up quickly.

This is a little...

Gosh, it was so cold.

What?

[Fact Check Tip-off Room]

-This sounds interesting. -Did you get something?

Well, look at this.

"A group of runaways I know"

"makes kids kill people."

What? Look.

Look.

It's shocking but so out of the blue.

It's groundless.

It could be a prank.

We'll know when we meet them.

Hey, Dae-jin. Hand these out to people.

Dae-jin.

-Gang-ho. -What?

Did you get dumped by your girlfriend again?

I'm warning you in advance.

If you call her 100 times again, I'll arrest you right away.

They identified the manhole body.

Oh, yes?

So, there must've been a match on the missing persons database.

Why do you look so pale?

It's...

-He's-- -We're here from the Cold Case Unit.

Hello.

Our team will be taking over

the Manhole Murder Case.

-Oh, I see. -Please give us all the relevant files.

Go on. Give them what they need.

Yes, sir.

No, I need to investigate this case.

What are you doing?

-Hey. -Dae-jin.

Did this nutjob tell you to behave this way?

What's with him all of a sudden?

Why would you call me that? I didn't even do anything.

I shouldn't have bought you that eel.

It's because he's learning from the worst.

Hey, what's the matter?

You need to tell me if you want me to help.

The victim is my friend from middle school.

I thought he went missing,

but he was found dead after ten years.

Is that what the phone call was about?

Would you let them take the case?

Then you really can't investigate.

You can't let your personal feelings get involved.

Give them all the materials they need

and just focus on what we need to do.

Can't you see the pile of work over there?

-You can carry on. -Okay.

Take all the boxes.

If you find anything else,

you can send it to our team.

Okay.

Hey...

My gosh, you're so cold-hearted.

Did you have to be so mean?

Shut it.

I also want you to wrap up all your cases within this week.

You're doing it again. Stop nagging at me.

You don't need to tell me how to do my work.

Good.

Deal with him first.

What? Hey, kid.

If you're here to make a report on school violence,

you need to go to the Women and Juvenile Affairs Section.

-I got robbed. -You got robbed?

Is anyone here?

[Hongnam-dong Missing Teenager Case]

[Seoul Yeongdong Police Station]

[Jo Jin-su, Park Jae-min, and Kwon Ki-woong were classmates...]

Hey.

[Park Jae-min]

[Jo Jin-su]

What's your problem? Why makes you so confident?

[Kwon Ki-woong]

Darn you!

-What's your problem? -What, you punk?

-You little... -Do you have a death wish?

Have you lost your mind?

You crazy punk. Do you actually want to die?

Stop getting on my nerves.

Hey, get off.

By any chance, does he still live upstairs?

Oh, Ki-woong?

He used to live here with his grandma.

But he moved out right after she passed away.

Doesn't his brother live here?

No, that's nonsense.

It's been ten years since he moved out.

[General Ward A]

What do you want for lunch?

[Park Jae-min]

A stew? No, not that.

How about pork cutlet?

-That sounds nice. -Okay.

-Let's go to the pork cutlet place. -Sure.

Park Jae-min.

Who are you?

[Min Dae-jin]

"Min Dae-jin"?

Don't you remember me? We were in the same class in eighth grade.

Oh, I remember now. Dae-jin, it's been so long.

What brings you here?

Why would a cop be here?

I came here for a case.

Oh, right. I heard you became a cop.

But what kind of case?

It's about Jin-su.

"Jin-su"?

Are you talking about Jo Jin-su, the guy from middle school?

What about him? I wonder how he's doing.

Jin-su went missing when we were young.

And you even got investigated because of that.

Oh, that's right.

It's been too long.

Jin-su is dead.

We found his corpse.

You guys go ahead.

He died?

He died due to multiple fractures that were caused by severe physical abuse.

Really?

Gosh, I feel bad for him.

He always used to get in fights.

No, he always got beaten up by you and Kwon Ki-woong.

Do you actually want to die? Stop getting on my nerves.

It only happened once. We didn't beat him up every day.

Then how will you explain this?

Jin-su's body was found

inside a manhole right by this hospital

which just happens to be where your dad works.

So that's why you're here?

Let's say I killed him.

Then why would I hide his body here

when it will only make me a suspect?

I bet you didn't expect anyone to open the manhole

because no one knows about it

unless it's someone who works at the hospital.

You know what?

I remember something.

The cops kept treating me like a criminal

even when he disappeared just because they saw

security footage of me and him together.

You guys really need to stop accusing me

when you don't even have any conclusive evidence.

Back then, I was too young to do anything about it.

But not anymore.

Back then,

I was also too young to do anything about what happened.

But not anymore.

I'm going to find out how Jin-su died.

And I'm going to arrest the culprit with my own two hands.

Okay then.

Can you guys be more specific

about the tip-off you guys promised to give me?

Can you pay us first?

How much will you pay us?

I'll pay you for the cab fare.

So how much is that?

We're starving.

We starved for two days.

We also need a place to sleep tonight.

That motel over there looks nice.

Do you guys even know anything?

Of course, it's about the lumber violence.

What? "Lumber violence"?

No, it's about delivering the fake bankbook.

You guys even deliver fake bankbooks?

Listen.

Can you at least buy us something to eat first?

We're really hungry.

You guys.

Do you know the Crazy Dog of Yeonnam-dong?

What?

The crazy what?

Yes, that's me.

Look down.

I told you to look down!

My gosh, are you here to waste my time?

I'm not happy that you guys lied.

But I'll give you a second chance since you agreed to do an interview.

The rules are simple.

If you answer what I ask

or give me an actual tip-off, you can eat what's in front of you.

Okay, are you ready?

What's the lumber violence you mentioned earlier?

It's a prostitution scam.

They force girls to meet guys for sex,

and they beat up whoever falls for it

and threaten to tell their families and take their money.

You passed. Go ahead and eat.

Okay, next. What else is there other than that?

They deliver fake bankbooks,

steal things from people by beating them up

and steal motorcycles by making fake keys.

Pass. Eat up.

Don't you guys have part-time jobs?

We're too young to work without our parents' permission.

But we still need to make money.

So we do bad things to make what we can.

You're always struggling to find food, and you have nowhere to sleep.

Why don't you guys go home?

Because it's worse there.

Plus, I bet my parents are glad that I'm gone.

My mom doesn't even know that I'm gone.

Okay, that's the end of the quiz.

You guys can go ahead and eat your food.

Take your time.

Drink your soda as you eat.

Anyway, it's not true that some kids commit murder, right?

But there are rumors saying Oni's crew kill people.

"Oni"? Who is that?

He's famous among runaways.

He's really scary.

[-There's a rumor] -Whose turn is it this time?

[that he makes the guys in his group take turns to kill.]

Here.

[It's to bond them together or something.]

[So whoever wishes to leave the group, he says he'll kill them.]

No, don't. Please don't kill me.

Why do you call him "Oni"?

He has a tattoo of a Japanese goblin on his wrist.

It's really freaky.

Where can I meet him?

No one knows where they live.

They always move around.

But does he really exist?

Some say he's a ghost.

How did you know I'd be here?

I'm a regular here.

What did you do all day?

I tried to find the suspects of Jin-su's case,

but I couldn't locate one guy.

And the other one is living a good life as if he forgot about everything.

You said it was a missing persons case. Were there suspects?

Yes, before Jin-su disappeared,

there was footage of him getting beat up by the class president and a bully.

But they got away with it somehow.

Well, Jin-su's reputation worked against him too.

He was bullied

all throughout school because his father was a murderer.

His father was a murderer?

[Hongnam Orphanage]

-Does it hurt? -It's all right.

It looks really bad.

My face?

Are you not coming to school anymore?

Myeong-su!

-Myeong-su, are you okay? -Jin-su.

-Who did this? -It wasn't us.

Are you all right, Myeong-su?

My goodness, not again.

Get inside. You guys too.

-Hurry. -Go in.

-Are you okay? -You should go now.

-Let me help you. -I told you to go!

Leave me alone from now on

unless you want to get bullied like me at school.

[Murderer! Die.]

[That was the last time I saw him.]

He went missing that night, and I never saw him again.

Well, now we found Jin-su's body

as well as the blood trail under his fingernail,

so we'll be able to find the killer once we get the DNA results.

We can grab Jae-min who was the class president and run his DNA,

but the school bully, Ki-woong is nowhere to be found.

I looked it up, and he didn't register his fingerprints.

Can you help me this time, Gang-ho?

I want to catch the culprit who killed Jin-su.

I know how that feels.

There's this guy I'm dying to catch too.

Did you check his story? What does he say?

Did you get anything?

I'm not entirely sure.

It's confusing.

Get out of my way.

After you went out, I checked the tip-offs again.

And I found this one on our official social media page.

"There's an incredibly scary group of runaways that even cops can't touch."

"If I don't kill them first, they will kill me."

Do you think this is another prank?

Should I send her a message and set up a meeting?

This is more detailed than the last report.

If she doesn't kill them first, they'll kill her.

-Okay, send the message quickly. -Should I?

Yes.

[The person you have reached is not available.]

[Ka-eun, you said you'd come home. Where are you?]

[Ka-eun, you said you'd come home. Where are you?]

[Did something happen?]

She said she'd be home this evening, but it's past 11 p.m. already,

and I can't reach her. And her phone is off.

Why don't you wait a little longer?

No, something's wrong.

She has never been out of touch for this long.

She hasn't been home for two days already.

First, fill out this form, please.

It's best to go to the precinct directly.

It takes a while if we submit this.

Okay.

[Report]

Then you probably don't know what kind of kids she hangs out with, right?

[There are more cases that kids run away rather than go missing.]

They're usually at a friend's house.

At that age, friends are more important than family.

Where's her laptop?

Laptop.

Where is it?

[Lee Ka-eun]

[2,003 friends]

Two thousand friends?

[Old Fart, Myeong-su]

"Myeong-su"?

[The person you have reached is not available...]

"Boss Son".

[The call cannot be connected...]

[Ssuk]

[-Hello?] -Hi.

This is Ka-eun's dad. Ka-eun hasn't come home

after she said she'd sleep at her friend's two days ago.

Are you with her by any chance?

[No, not since we had tteokbokki that day.]

Do you know anywhere she might be?

Can you take a guess?

Or can you give me someone else's phone number?

[She's probably with her boyfriend.]

[I don't know any other numbers.]

Hello?

[Old Fart, Myeong-su]

Myeong-su...

[This is Ka-eun's dad.]

[Can you please call me if you're with her?]

[Please.]

[Lee Ka-eun]

[New message, Recipient]

[This is Ka-eun's dad. Can you let me know if you're with her?]

[Please!]

[What's he saying?]

[Blocking]

[Lee Ka-eun? That liar?]

[She ran away.]

[You're annoying, old man.]

[Chat room, Teenage family]

[I'll tell you later.]

[Have you tried birth control pills?]

[Of course, I have.]

[Any side effects?]

[I need to take them this week.]

[Why? Going to a motel?]

[Lee Ka-eun]

"Fact Hunter, tomorrow at 2 p.m., 2nd floor of Girin Cafe, black hat."

[This is Ka-eun's dad.]

[Okay.]

Okay, I'll call you later.

Yes, bye.

What's with those files?

Isn't Dae-jin here yet?

I sent him to run an errand for me.

I asked him to buy me some cheese macarons from Bucheon.

It's very popular these days.

I'll give you a bite later.

Gang-ho, it's not always the right answer to embrace everything.

Yes, I know.

I don't like embracing men.

It just doesn't feel right.

Don't do anything to incite him.

-Lead him well. -Of course.

Maybe I'll buy him some spicy chicken stew.

No, wait. Is it called braised spicy chicken?

My goodness.

Let's see.

"Bugyeong Station Group Violence Case".

"Bugyeong Station Theft Case".

"Bugyeong Station Assault Case".

"Bugyeong Station Teenager Assault and Theft Case".

What is this?

Why did so many things happen at Bugyeong Station recently?

"Three teenagers suddenly..."

Wait a minute.

The student who came yesterday also got robbed at Bugyeong Station.

Here it is.

"On his way down in Bugyeong Station,"

"five teenagers..."

A group of teenagers?

Something smells fishy.

So that's where he got robbed?

Can I take a look at the other dates?

Sure.

My goodness, look at these punks.

They know all the blind spots.

By any chance, are you Fact Hunter?

What? Hey. Mr. Lee.

She hasn't come home for three days.

And I heard from her since yesterday.

I reported her missing, but the cops keep telling me to wait.

Then I saw the message on social media and came here hoping it might help.

I thought I knew Ka-eun well.

But I guess I was wrong.

Where in the world is she?

Do you think she's okay?

Yes, of course.

Did you say this laptop belongs to Ka-eun?

Yes.

Why don't you have someone analyze

her psychological state based on her day-to-day pattern?

That might help you find her.

"Analyze her psychological state"?

[Lee Ka-eun]

She has 2,000 friends on social media,

but she only has four numbers saved on her contact list?

I think she was trying to escape.

"Escape"?

It's when people go online

to escape from reality whenever they feel lonely or alienated in real life.

But unfortunately, it's very hard to truly communicate with anyone online,

which means people connect with masks on.

I know she wrote about birth control pills and motels in this chat room.

But it's highly possible for her to have said those things

without even meaning anything

so she could fit in with this group.

Right? Ka-eun would never do those kinds of stuff.

Gosh, I wouldn't call this a conversation.

Why? What's wrong?

It looks like Ka-eun replies to you

only because she has to every time you send her messages.

She's very shy.

Can I look at the texts?

Sure.

Here.

[I'm sorry. Something came up with a friend yesterday.]

The last text is a bit weird.

The overall tone of the text is different from her usual texts.

She used punctuation marks unlike usual. She's like a different person.

That also bothered me as well.

Something felt off.

If she found the virtual world more comfortable,

wouldn't she have left something to express how she felt?

Here it is. Her drawings.

Ka-eun is very good at drawing.

They look a bit dangerous.

-Why? -They're figure drawings.

But their eyes are all missing.

She only drew eyes in her last drawing.

What about that?

It looks like she recently made up her mind to do something.

Something big.

The tip-off I got from Ka-eun.

"There's an incredibly scary group of runaways that even cops can't touch."

"If I don't kill them first, they will kill me."

That's what she said.

What?

My Ka-eun sent you that?

I didn't tell you because I thought

you'd get worried.

Why are you telling me that now?

You should've told me!

They must've waited until their target approached the blind spot

to commit their crimes.

But the camera didn't catch them entering.

That means they left through that hill.

My goodness! Oh, gosh!

What... What's wrong? I'm a cop.

Over there! There... There's a dead body over there!

Goodness gracious!

Oh, gosh! Over there!

What?

What's going on?

Ka-eun?

What's up?

[They found a dead body on a hill.]

[But no one is free to go there to check the corpse.]

[Can you help us out just this once?]

I'm sorry. I'm not in the right mind for that.

[Please help us out just this once.]

[I'll send you a photo and an address.]

I really can't go.
