All language subtitles for children.2011

This film is based on a true event.

Hey!

Won-gil's not here yet?

Aren't you gonna go
vote with me?

I gotta go somewhere.

- Come back soon!
- Okay.

This election will mark an
Important milestone

in our political history.

- Did you bring the can?
- I forgot.

- Want me to lend you mine?
- Of course!

Jong-ho!

Hey guys, where are we going?

What's with Jongho?

He says he can't let that
cape touch the ground.

If it does, I'm dead.

Jong-ho! Come here.

Why? You come here.

Now you won't die.

Mach 26th, 1991

Children

Dong-pil!

Hello?

Dong-pil?

Other children too?

How can all five Kids
go missing at once?

What?

The boys are probably running
in the hills like the deer.

Can't you see we're busy?

We have to guard the election.

Then let us meet the chief here.

We're good tax-paying citizens!

Our children are missing!
Go and do something!

Like I said,

It has to be over a day!

Just go home and wait!

They're not missing.
They're just out playing!

Or out for a walk!

Five elementary school students
from Daegu are missing...

Two of the five children
who disappeared in March

are reported to be in Seoul.

The officials have declared
minimal punishment,

if the children are returned
unharmed to their parents.

Three weeks ago, at around 8 am
on March 26th, 1991,

five children from Daegu
went looking for salamanders

in the nearby Mt. To-ap
and disappeared.

It was a national holiday
due to focal elections.

- When's the live show till?
-9 o'clock.

It'll be a headache
to go overtime.

Drink up.

You won't take calls, will you?

I said I won't!

Get him on three!

Sorry.

It's a good shot.

MC! Ask how the parents feel.

Whether they were taken by
the North Koreans or Japanese,

I just hope that

They're alive and
we can meet again.

It's too long and boring

He has no point.

The parents of five children...

Where did the Mt. To-ap Boys go?

The Mt. To-ap...

Wrong number, mister!

Yes?

Here. Get this.

Look, you moron!

Why the hell do you
keep on calling?

Stop saying shit like that!

Why would a UFO take the kids!

Don't waste my time,
you dumb-ass!

You're the alien,
you psycho!

Take it easy, huh?

Be nice.

Listen, ma'am.

Press this button to record.

Then press this button
to track the caller.

Okay?

And if possible,

try to stall the conversation.

Pick it up.

Hello?

No. Nothing yet.

Okay.

Geez.

PLEASE HELP US FIND
THE MT, TO-AP BOYS

Mister. Hey, Mister.

We came far,
but we're not dead.

Can't find us?

We'll come to you.

Where are you?

In Kim jae.

There! It's over there!

In that garbage truck!

Follow that truck!

Congratulations again.

And now, the most outstanding
documentary series.

The winner of the best
documentary program!

The winner is...

KANG Ji-seung of
MBS cultural productions!

Congratulations!

Since entering the company
in 1983,

Producer KANG has produced
socially important programs

The Elk's Dream this year's
award-winning program

portrays the ruined ecosystem
of the wild elks.

How does he
pull it off every time?

He probably taught
the elks to act.

Congratulations again,
Producer KANG.

There is your
bouquet and trophy.

Congratulations.

Your comment, please.

It's my social responsibility
and mission as a journalist

to portray reality through
a critical eye, first of all, and...

Get to the point!

You lied to millions of viewers.

That's the point.

- The reality is...
- To the point! The elks!

Did you remove the food
they left out for the elks?

So they can starve?

You got your staff to
remove the hay

The elks starved, then you
put sad background music.

How pathetic!

You do know that

My documentaries get
the highest viewer rating.

The producer chooses
what goes on the screen.

And it's our choice to
throw you out!

Take some time out to reflect.

The Elk's Dream was a fabrication.

Don't do it again.
You're being transferred to Daegu.

Damn it.

What about the house?

I'm coming back soon anyway.

Steer clear of Chief AHN
when you get to Daegu.

Let us know
if you need anything.

- Hey, Producer SONG!
- Yes, sir!

Nice to meet you.

-I'm SONG Sang-hop.
- I'm KANG Ji-seung.

I'll be back.

This is it?

There are three cameramen
and two reporters here.

Where is Chief AHN?

- Hey, Dong-chul!
- Yes, sir.

Where's the chief?

He went to check something out
at Lake Sun-won.

Wow! Sir!

The elk, right?

It was so sad!

I cried my eyes out
That night, you know!

- What?
- This is our youngest, Dong-chul.

Hello, Sir!

- The rookie?
-Yes.

How cute!
Work hard.

I'm your fan!

We got tips ea yin' all five of em
are down at the bottom of the lake.

I don't think they'd be here,
but what else can we do?

Geez.

I guess we'll have to pump out
all the water and check. Right?

-Cut?
-Cut.

Chief?

Should I say something?

We have nothing to air.

Just think of a closing comment.

Guess who, Chief AHN?

It's me, Ji-seung.

Shit. Damn waste of time.

We told you it couldn't be,
didn't we?

But you had to
pump it all out anyway.

No way our kids
would be here.

Bro.

Time flows backwards here.

Still talking about
the Mt. To-ap Boys.

Still?

People aren't interested
in stories like that.

Wow, Sir.

That's because you don't know
things around here.

Their parents have given up
their jobs and life,

to search all over the country
for them.

Look.

Season after season
has passed since it happened.

It's been over 4 years.

There were many floods since then.

They would've floated up long ago.

But there's nothing sure,
is there?

There is nothing dramatic
or catchy here.

Who cares about a story
like that? Do you?

Does he?

KANG!

You try saying that
to the parents!

That's right!

Till we know what happened,
the story continues.

MT. TO-AP BOYS

PROFESSOR HWANG INTERVIEW

Where do I look?
I see.

Hello. I am professor HWANG Woo-hyuk
from the National University.

The local elections were held
on the day the children disappeared.

One of the five
human behaviors,

is the Disturbance Behavior.

The theory is that the suspect
initially kidnapped the kids,

Just to disturb the elections,

but something went wrong
in the process,

and the kids never came home.

This hypothesis is based on
the theory of disturbance behavior.

In 1950, the leader of a cult
predicted the end of the world.

His message was that since
the end can come at any time,

all should pay offerings
and be saved.

So his followers earnestly waited
for that day.

And that day came,
on December 21st, 1950.

What do you think happened
on that day?

Nothing.

Interesting thing is that when
people realized it was a hoax,

they started to believe that
their faith delayed the doomsday,

Rather than believe that
they had been tricked.

They denied they were wrong because
their world would fall apart.

So they held onto their faith
even more desperately.

Human nature is so heartrending.

That is the Theory
of Cognitive Dissonance,

First introduced by
Leon Festinger.

We'll look at it tomorrow.
That's it for today.

Thank you, professor.

Professor?

Yes?

You look much better
in person.

I'm KANG Ji-seung
from MBS Seoul.

I'm from the headquarter.

I'm here in Daegu
on a break.

I happened to see
your interview.

Right?

Yes, but they never
called back.

It's under investigation.

But it's...

But it’s...

It's some powerful stuff,
what you said.

Your theory that...
.the parents might be the suspect?

I never said that.

You don't have to pretend with me.

Sit please.

Professor,

- Why do you think they're dead.?
- Wait.

Don't record yet.

Oh, sorry.

Why do you think
the children are dead?

Their parents are still searching
all over the country for them.

I wasn't trying to say
they were dead or alive.

I just followed the clues
and arrived at the conclusion.

The conclusion that someone was
trying to disturb the elections?

The local elections
were pretty intense.

Some won by one vote,

some were tied so
the older one was elected.

But who would vote when
children have disappeared?

So someone hid the children
to disrupt the elections?

Then Killed them,
so to speak?

But this is the point.

People went to search for the kids
in the afternoon, after the vote.

The plan must've failed.

Something happened
to the Kids.

What moron said that!

He's a professor
at a national university.

National university or not,
he's a moron talking crap.

Just listen, please!

It is strange, isn't it?

Five boys disappeared
in broad daylight.

Soldiers and police
were sent on a search.

300,000 of them.

All those people

and not one lead?
Come on.

That's what I'm saying.

We would've found their bodies
after all that searching.

They weren't found because they're
probably alive somewhere!

So the moron,
I mean that professor...

Wake up.

Will you see him yourself?

See what he says.

On that day,

In the morning even before
anyone knew they were missing

Jong-ho's mother went to
search for the Kids

Throughout the village.

- In the morning?
-Yes.

It's normal for Kids in the country
to play out all day

and come home at dusk.

But only within a few hours
they stepped out,

With no reasons to believe
they went missing,

She went around
looking for Jong-ho.

Jong-ho's mother.

That is a bit strange.
Timing's a bit off.

Right?

But don't you think maybe
it was her maternal instinct,

like sixth sense?

Because on the day
they disappeared,

Jong-ho's mother suddenly
felt something stab her chest.

That's why she reported.

Come on, man!

You believe in things like that?
Sixth sense? Detective PARK?

Of course I do.

You begin to sense that
after years of investigating.

To name an example...

Wake up!

You said you dreamt about
the dog you stole this time?

Yes, sir.
I saw it clearly.

But I didn't get bit in the dream.

Sir,
Can I eat one of these?

Wait.

They're not food.
They're my pet.

- Who's that?
- Dog thief.

See? Sixth sense.

Listen to this.

- Hello?
- Mom...

- Jong-ho?
- Yes...

Where are you?

- Hello?
- Mom...

- Jong-ho?
- Yes...

- Where are you?
-What...?

Jong-ho called two months
after he went missing.

Jong-ho's family verified
it was his voice.

Jong-ho calls two months
after he goes missing.

Isn't his mother's
response strange?

- Hello?
- Mom...

- Jong-ho?
- Yes...

Where are you?

Hmm...

What's your point?

Does this sound like the voice,

Of a mother who lost her child?

And what about this
pause in the end?

For 17 seconds.

He'd been missing for
two months. Two months!

Where are you?!

Who're you with?! Jong-ho!

Shouldn't a mother be
crying out?

The police set a tracking
device on the phone.

They could've caught the suspect
just by pressing a button.

Then...

Jong-ho's mother never pressed
that tracking button.

Why would she not
have pressed the button?

- Clearly on purpose.
- Why?

Someone called her
from outside.

She obviously didn't want to
expose the caller on purpose.

- Who could that be?
- I don't know.

One thing for sure, probably
someone she tried to protect.

What do you think of
Professor HWANG's theories?

Crazy folks like him can say
whatever they want,

but the police can't.

The kids' parents are half dead.

They've already given up their
jobs and family to find the kids.

Detective PARK!

Your complacency
will never solve this case.

Professor said.

Remember KANG.

Nonsense theories like that
could Kill them again.

That's to you.

Let me ask you one thing.

Why are you doing this?

I mean...
This case.

An ivy league graduate and
a professor at a national university.

You can go on living
a happy respectable life.

Why dig into this?

Then what about you?

Me? To make a comeback.

I feel so good.

Home sweet home!

I've been thinking.

- Don't do it.
- Do what?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Think that the Killer is
still out there.

The Kids are dead?

Let's assume that they are.

And that one of their parents
is involved in it.

But why?

It's complicated.
Obscene.

Totally catchy and
completely sensational.

It's just
what I've been looking for.

- Why?
-I'm a producer.

I have to make a comeback.

If we're right, the world
will flip upside down.

The whole country will freak.

And it'll be me,
conducting it all.

Oh yeah?
Like the elk story?

Why you!

Hello?

Anybody home?

We're here to see
Jong-ho's parents.

Hello.

This is Producer KANG from MBS.

What brings professor
and producer here?

Please come in.

Would you like to see
our boy's photo album?

Where was it?

Mother, please.

My son was a good Kid.

He got along well
with other Kids too.

Did you get new flooring?

Yes.

We'd like to meet
the other parents too.

They've been through a lot.

I don't think they'll want to.

I think someone the children knew
is behind all this.

Someone they knew?

Yes.

You mean someone
in the neighborhood?

Maybe, maybe not.

Just someone who knew the Kids.

I thought the kids went out
early in the morning,

and got kidnapper
in the mountain.

In the morning, my wife suddenly
felt a sharp pain in her chest,

And sensed something.

You once received a call
from Jong-ho?

Yes. Two months
after they disappeared

All calls were being
recorded and tracked?

If you press the
hook button like this

it starts the tracking.

But my wife pressed it
like this,

with the receiver
so it slipped off.

So, it wasn't pressed?

She regrets it forever.

My wife and everyone
say it was Jong-ho.

But the police said
it's too short

Here are the tapes.

Could I use the toilet?

Actually could you wait here?

I have to go to the toilet too.

I'm in the next stall.

Back then, Jong-ho's older sister
wrote a letter to the president

to find her little brother.

And my wife?

She couldn't stop crying for days..

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll try talking to
Won-gil's father.

Professor?

I'd appreciate that.

What?

Why didn't I think of that?

The Kids never went
to the mountain!

Then what about
the testimony?

That witness didn't even know
what the kids looked like.

That's groundless.

He was very edgy over the toilet,
wasn't he?

Jong-ho's father?

And?

Soon after I started peeing,
he said I have to go, too.

He wanted us to hear that.

- That's being too subjective.
- No! Listen.

The next stall was women's
but he still went in.

Then he kept on talking to me.

Listen.

People in the country are usually
cautious around strangers.

He probably felt uncomfortable
with a professor and producer.

Suddenly showing up and
using his toilet.

35 seconds.

What?

How long does it
usually take to pee?

Who counts that?

Assuming
it takes 35 to 40 seconds...

Then from the toilet..

This is the toilet,
This is the front gate.

From the toilet...

One two three four...

Five six seven eight...

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!

Sixteen.

It takes 17 seconds for 16 steps.

It took about 40 seconds to pee.

Add 17, it's 57 seconds.

When my foot hit the top...

- Won-gil's father...
- Let's subtract.

Let's say it took him
8 seconds to reach me.

57 minus 8 is 49.

An adult taking dump
in only 49 seconds?

Is it a crime to poop quickly?

Why are you so pessimistic?

Think about it.

We have to be precise
and objective.

Scientific evidence is
what I go by.

How about this?

When I looked back, the door
next stall was slightly open.

Freaky, isn't it?

Why would he get so tense
over me using his toilet?

Maybe something is
in the toilet.

Maybe it's your imagination?

You call yourself a producer?

Use your imagination.

Jong-ho's father was startled
when I went to the toilet.

And that granny.

- Cut two?
- What was that?

What was she trying to tell us?

It means,

You two are fired!

Must you be so pessimistic?

Use your imagination.

You know...

We may be living in
a pretty cruel world,

but let's try to have some
heart for the people.

Got it, KANG?

That was good.

Thanks for the meal.
It's cash only' here.

Have some heart

- On the day the boys disappeared,
-Yes?

I heard Jong-ho's mother went
looking for them early on.

I heard she did
for a little while.

I went out and came home
at around 4 pm.

The food I left for my son
was still there,

So I went to Jong-ho's house
to find him.

But the door was locked and
no one answered the door.

You mean the front gate?

No, the door inside the house.

Do they usually lock that door?

No, because there are many
tenants living there.

But why would she
leave the door locked,

if her son could be
coming home any time?

I don't know.

- Hello?
- Mom...

- Jong-ho?
- Yes.

Where are you?

Get up!

You think this is a joke?

- Is this funny to you?
- What?

Do I sound funny to you?
You're full of shit.

You think you can air this?

You're accusing the parents!

- Just raising questions.
- Raising questions?

What if you're wrong?

What the hell!

I can't do this. I won't.

Come on, chief.

- Believing your crap?
- Not me, professor HWANG.

Stupid!
That doesn't matter.

Once it airs,
it's our responsibility!

Come on, chief!

Bro!

Let's be honest.

People younger than you are holding
higher positions than you in Seoul.

Think why you're
stuck here in Daegu.

Is life that great
doing everything by the book?

And what will you do
if you're wrong?

That would be the end of you.

I'll handle it!

How many times
do I have to tell you?

There were no calls from home.

I clearly remember
working at the factory all day.

Stop this already.

I came out thinking
you might have something,

But this is waste of time.
Geez.

- Mr. KIM.
- Record him.

If you're innocent,
let's verify it in person.

I worked the afternoon shift
that day!

I told you, already!

So let's verify it!
Why are you avoiding it?

What am I avoiding?

I have no reasons
to avoid anything!

Why are you doing this?

There's someone behind this case.

I believe that you're the suspect.

I know the Kids are
buried in your house.

What?
You son of a bitch!

- Did you get that?
-Go to hell.

You said you're Innocent

Then why did you hit him?
Get him on tape.

I'll be watching you.

The truth is bound to
come out some day.

Fine.
Do what you want.

But if you're wrong,
you deal with the consequences.

You deal with it.

You're accusing the parents?

Do you have evidence?

Let's look at the
documents again.

WOO Won-gil.
13, the oldest.

PARK Yong-deok, 11.

And KIM Jong-ho...

300,000 searched
for these boys.

Mrs. KIM didn't press the
tracking button by mistake.

Wow! All three
TV stations are here!

I know this is wrong but I...

What? You think our boys are
buried there?

You think they'll really dig?

They're so sure of it.

At least well find out the truth.

- How can you say that?
- Am I wrong?

Outta the way!

Geez, people!

Don't you see a car coming?!

Out of the way.

Clear the way!

I'm not really sure about this,

but I'm just going with it.

So I hope you know
what you're doing.

Let's start with the toilet.

The toilet?

Hey Goo-taek!
Get the hose!

Hustle!
Your feet glued to the ground?

Hold on.

This is crazy! Stop him!

You just gonna sit and watch?

Mrs. KIM! Do something!

I can't believe this...

Dig here.

It's new cement.

Send someone here
to the back of the house.

Dig like the professor says.

Hustle!

Geez!

What's this?

Get this!

It's a shoe!

Get this!

It's a girl's shoe.

Should we continue digging,
professor?

Yes. Continue on.

You heard him!

Hey!

What are you doing?

Keep on digging.

All we need is a piece of bone.

Just a piece of bone.

Can't dig any further.

That's it.
Nothing here.

I don't think
there's anything here.

What should we do?

We've dug pretty low already.
There's nothing.

What should we do?

Let's go.

Wrap it up.

Clear the way!

Hey, granny! Hold on!

Wait! Wait!

Tell them what you
were trying to tell us.

You know, with your fingers...

Like this.

Yeah, I saw it too!

Why are you lying?

What are you doing
to an old lady?

Just wait. Please.

Look at me and
make that gesture again.

Just do it!

Shut it!

There!

There! You see?

What the heck is this?

She pointed
at Jong-ho's father.

I can validate this action
through various theories.

It's a habitual gesture resulting
from traumatic experience,

and expression of fear
towards the suspect.

It's a clear gesture hinting that
Jong-ho's parents are the suspect.

It's one of five human behaviors.

- Professor HWANG?
- What?

Look behind you.

This means you're the suspect?

What are you doing?

Now I'm the suspect,
and so is he!

Snap out of it!

She's always been like that!
Before the kids disappeared!

He's insane.

She was always like that!

- So there's nothing, huh?
- That bastard!

What's with you!?

Still up?

Think of it as a good thing.

No one will be
suspicious any more.

I don't care about that.

Then what?

They all think our son is dead.

Not one person
believes he's alive.

Hon?

Yeah?

Did we make a mistake?

Don't think about it.

What wouldn't we do
to find our son?

Yes?

Ji-seung!
I'm sure Jong-ho's alive.

Someone is guarding him.

Mr. KIM will move the kids
bodies to the mountain later

So I'll follow him.

I'm going to stake out
and catch him in the act.

Are you listening?
Producer KANG?!

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

You think everything's that easy?

I'm sorry.

Hey!

Come back here, now!
Ji-seung!

Ji-seung!

Despite years of intensive
investigation,

the investigation team
dissolved into a task force.

Detective PARK moved
to another department,

and I returned to Seoul.

The anticipated order
to return to Seoul

Just felt like another let-down.

But life continued on.

- Hey

2001, 10 years later

- Don't drink too much.
- Yeah, yeah. Get home.

Is that Won-gil's brother?

That's Won-seok.

Now, it's the Kids that nag,
not the wife.

He's grown a lot.
I wouldn't recognize him.

If we met our lost sons
on the streets,

- We wouldn't recognize them.
- No, we wouldn't.

I sometimes have this dream.

A man appears with a piece of cloth
around his head like this,

Saying he's Jong-ho.

I can't see his face but
he gets angry

That I don't recognize him.

- Bro.
- What?

I have cancer.

How do you know?

Look at my stomach bulging out.

Come on. That's nothing.

Civilian casualties are on
the rise due to Typhoon RUSA...

Major mountain slides and floods
are causing serious damages.

Nakdong River is in danger of
major flooding, due to the typhoon.

Over 870mm of rain fell yesterday
on the northern province.

Nothing major flooding,
due to the typhoon...

Sir!

Let's take these chestnuts!

Come here!

Why?

I think this is...

- What is it?
- Look.

Wasn't there a psycho who accused
the parents as the suspect

and dug up their house?

September 26th, 2002

Shut up!

This way, chief.

After all that searching,

and they're buried here?

PARK, come here.

This is ridiculous.

This area was thoroughly searched.

Let's say that the children got cold,
and covered themselves with leaves.

So we couldn't find them.

It'll be a closed case
if it's natural death.

Leave it unsolved.

- You know what I mean?
- Yes, sir.

Take a close look.

- These are not our Kids.
- Are they them?

I don't think it's them.

Oh...

There is a track suite.

It says
NAMDONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,

not DEOK-SUH.

Are you listening?

That's my son.

My son...

My son used to go to that school
before he transferred.

He wore that track suit that day.

I think that's him...

What are you saying?

What's the cause of death?

Police say it was hypothermia.

I have no answers yet.

The parents have confirmed
the children's clothes

and verified the remains
as the missing children.

We think the cause of death
is hypothermia.

It was drizzling in the evening

on the day of their disappearance.

Wasn't Mt. To-ap
thoroughly searched?

This is a little far from
where they disappeared.

Therefore this area wasn't
as thoroughly searched,

As other areas.

What are you saying?
That's bullshit!

Why would they not come home
And freeze to death here?

We searched for them all over,
from here down to the base.

The kids came around here
like it's their backyard.

How dare you say
it was natural death?

You son of a bitch!

This is Bullshit!

Isn't that the psycho who came
to dig up Jong-ho's house?

Why the hell is he here?

Why the hell are you here?

Who are you after this time?

Do you know Jong-ho's father
passed away?

Who killed him?

You bastards did.

You...

You still think
the parents killed them?

Jong-ho's father went
to his dead son.

He died wrongly accused,

and sent our Kids back to us!

You have no right to be here!

Go.

Get lost.

Get the hell out of here!

Enough!

For all this time...

You've been lying here?

Right in front of home?

Hey, Producer KANG!

I told you he'll
move the remains.

They thoroughly searched
all over Mt. To-ap.

Even this area, for sure.

But why are the bodies found now?

Because they were moved.

So who moved them here?

Did you know Jong-ho's father
rebuilt his house?

They put in a new foundation

How can you say that?
You saw the remains.

That doesn't mean
one of em is Jong-ho.

You can easily get human bones...

That's enough,
you son of a bitch.

Jong-ho's father passed away.

So?
Is that my fault?

What about you?

So let's drop this.
Enough already.

Fine.
Stick to the facts.

Prove that the remains
weren't moved here.

Enough!

You want to be that
famous and special?

- I said stick to the facts!
- Facts?

Fine.

What about the recording of
Jong-ho and his mother?

What about it?

They talk in that tone
through most of the recording,

Because they were tired of
all the prank calls

But they still hoped
it might be him.

What about
Jong-ho's father's alibi!?

His colleagues testified that
they weren't sure if

Jong-ho's father left early that day.

Why did you leave that part out?

Why?!

Because then you'd be
proven wrong.

That's fabrication.

He clocked in at the factory
that day.

There's evidence,
you son of a bitch!

You're the ones who
put the shovel in my hands!

I wasn't the only one.

But I took all the blame for it!
You coward!

You think you're
so brave and smart?

Fuck you.

Admit it. We just wanted to
make the headline.

I bet everything!

And I lost everything!

My family!

My job!

And my reputation!

What about you?

What the hell did you lose?

KANG!

Was it murder?

Was it murder?

I'm sorry.

I didn't come to get a story.

I'm the one who accused
the parents as murderer.

I recognize you.

You're the one who
dug up that house.

Come in.

I heard the remains were moved.

That's impossible.

The spine of the last body
was found completely intact.

You can't move the remains
without damaging the spine.

You said their clothes were
used to tie them up?

Their jackets were tied
around their heads,

and their legs were tied up
with their pants..

He used square knots
often used by sailors.

The one who made the knot
can easily untie it.

SQUARE KNOT

These wounds were found mainly
on the skull of the eldest boy.

That's magnified through
a microscope.

There's a sense of direction here.

Like it's been pecked
or chiseled.

Over 20 times.

Was it closer to sever abuse
than murder?

Maybe he tried to frighten
or torture them?

And enjoyed inflicting pain?

Probably a psychopath.

This wound explains
the cause of death.

He was hit by something
short and thin.

Less than 20cm long.

What kind of tool would
leave marks like this?

I just don't know.

Nothing matches.

It's a rare kind.

Knowing the tool will be the
best evidence in solving the case.

Only if we knew.

- Over there.
- Thank you.

You pig out and
get a tummy like that!

Come on, chief.

Lose some weight!

Well, well!

Producer KANG!

I'm getting old, I guess.

I like sweet things.

Want an egg in that?

No thanks.

Who did it?

What?

Who Killed the boys on Mt. To-ap?

Hey, KANG! What are you asking
me that all of a sudden?

That's why you're going bald.

Still thinking about that?

It's no one from their family
or the village.

I guarantee that.

So then, who?

According to a witness,

the children had something
in their pockets that day.

I think it was probably
bread or cookies.

- Snacks?
- Yeah.

But where did they get the money
to buy the shacks?

I asked their parents and they said
The boys didn't have any money.

So the suspect is probably someone
who knew the area well,

or someone who paid the kids
to meet him somewhere.

So he wasn't already there and
kidnapped the Kids by chance,

But he sent them up first,
then followed them to Kill them?

Probably someone who knew the
mountain well, or knew the Kids,

or who had something they liked.

You know something, don't you!

Don't worry,
it's off the record.

It was after you and the
professor's commotion...

After a walk around Mt. To-ap,

I spotted a car parked
outside Jong-ho's house.

Hello?
Open the window, sir.

This is police.
Open the window.

Hey!
Hey!

Why did you run
if you're innocent?

He looked exactly
like that bastard.

His face.

Who often fished at Lake Sun-won

And knew Mt. To-ap inside out.

But you let him go?

- Not again.
- What?

You think we can just nail him
without evidence?

I want to catch
that son of a bitch.

And Kill him like he Killed them,

exactly the way he Killed those boys!

I wish I can, but I can't.

You believe in sixth sense.

Why didn't you follow it?

Because of his alibi.

He wasn't in Daegu on that day.

You can go anywhere in Korea
in a few hours.

He was at his work in Ulsan.

You know what, KANG?

Statute of limitations
might have expired

but the investigation's
not over yet.

He'll be caught someday.

Do you have his montage?

I'll fax it to you
when I find it.

He knew the kids were
buried in the mountain,

when we dug Jong-ho's house.

Then why was he loitering
in the neighborhood?

If he'd buried them here,
he would've come here,

To check on the bodies.

Perhaps every year...

or every month.

The bodies were never moved,

and the children were
murdered here.

It probably wasn't easy
to kill 5 boys at once.

What exactly happened
to the children?

This is Detective PARK from
Eunpyung Police Station.

Producer KANG would know
who I am.

I'm sending in a fax for him.

MT. TO-AP CASE MONTAGE OF
THE FISHERMAN AT LAKE SUN-WON

Sir, there's a fax for you.

From where?

From Detective PARK...

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Here's his license plate number
and address.

Yes?

I'm looking for the owner of
the car with plate no. 7406.

Sorry?

The driver hit my car and just left.

I have his license plate number.

Where is he?

He left early this morning.

Where is his room?

There.

Psychos are murdering
children these days.

I think he's just beginning
to have fun.

The police are conducting
an open investigation

on the two children who
disappeared a week ago.

The police are still
investigating the case,

but no evidences
have yet been found.

- Hello?
- Seo-hyun is missing!

Seo-hyun!

Seo-hyun!

Sorry.

KANG Seo-hyun!

Where were you!

Why didn't you wait
inside the gates!

- What happened to you here?
- I fell from the swing.

Are you hurt?

It did at first,
but now it's okay.

That man helped me.

Seo-hyun!

Hi, Daddy.

Are you okay?

Where the heck
were you!?

- Don't hit her.
- What were you doing?

Get back to your work.

How nice of you to drop by.

What happened?

She fell from a swing.

Are you okay, hon?

- Who tied this?
- A man.

Excuse me.

Where's the man who
just came this way

Joo-hwan?
Yes?

What... does he do here?

What else would he do
at a slaughter house?

Pardon?

We slaughter cows.

We Kill cows.

Where is Joo-hwan?

He said he'll slaughter one
before going home.

They're all his.

He uses them every day.

We use electrocution these days.

Who could smash cows
in the head?

But he persists on
manual slaughtering.

It's you.

It's you, right?

Who are you?

You came to my daughter.

Hey!

You came to her,
you son of a bitch!

I don't know you.

This is a bit rude,
isn't it?

Is this how you
murdered people?

You think this is funny?

Huh?

Kidnapping my daughter

And threatening me?

So this is why you slaughter cows?

Because you want to
Kill children?

You're just dying to see blood,
aren't you?

Maybe.

It was you.

You have evidence?

November 12th, 2002
Final Hearing of Cause of Death

This can't be...

Yong-deok,

Yong-deok,

Yong-deok, my son...

I thought I would feel better
if I saw his remains.

But thinking how much
it must've hurt...

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault.

It wasn't Jong-ho.

The phone call
wasn't from my son.

What mother can't tell
her child's voice?

Hello?

Is it you Jong-ho?

Where are you?

Who is it?

He says he's Jong-ho.

Little bastards...

Honey.

Yeah?

Let's just say it was him.

Let's do it.

It wasn't him...

If I did that...

I thought
they'd find him for us...

Because no one
remembered our Kids...

We couldn't just give up...

Dad!

Five children disappeared

The statute of limitations on
