Where is the location?

CUSTOMER 15: SANGAK-DONG

I'll text the address after the drop-off.

Drop-off completed.

At 27 Sangak-ro.

Under the mailbox.

Please, let me see my daughter.

Please.

Let me see Bo-ra just once.

Let me see Bo-ra just once.

Is anyone there?

Please help me!

If you don't want to die,

stay quiet.

No!

Mister, help--

Who are you?

What do you mean?

The murder of the phone scammer,

the kidnapping of the woman in the wedding dress,

and now, the kidnapping of Se-yeong.

You were there every time.

Approaching me was part of your plan, right?

And if it was?

You…

Look who's here.

It's you.

Right?

I hardly recognized you with your long hair.

It's been two years, right?

No.

You were at the club a few days ago.

You bastard!

Stop fooling around.

Mang-chi, grab him.

Wook, run!

Hey! Get him!

Hey, you go that way!

Damn it!

What are you doing?

Go get him!

Damn!

Hurry, get him!

-Hey! -Hey!

Get him!

Get up, you fools!

Wook!

Oh, okay!

Come here!

Damn it!

-Come down! -Hey! Come here!

Come down!

Don't throw that!

Stop him!

Get him. Hurry.

What are you doing?

Hey!

Let's go!

Wook.

Wook!

They're gone.

You can come down now.

I nearly died.

Hey.

Who are they and what were they doing here?

I don't know.

Don't lie to me, you punk.

The villagers might believe you because they're naive,

but I don't.

Why did you ask if you weren't going to believe me?

You punk!

You said it yourself.

You approached me on purpose.

Who the heck are you?

Why is it that everywhere you show up, bad things happen?

The pot calling the kettle black.

Those people were going to kill you.

Is that why you brought me here?

To offer me to them?

Was this supposed to end with my death?

Now it makes sense.

You punk.

-You're with them, aren't you? -What?

If anything ever happens to Se-yeong, I'm going to kill you.

What can I even do in this state?

I warned you.

If anything happens to her, it's all your fault.

Hey.

Where is Se-yeong?

I don't know!

I saw her here a few days ago. That's the last I saw of her.

Tell me the truth.

Who are those people that kidnapped her?

-Let go of me! -Tell me now!

Hey, Goh Sang-cheol.

You didn't get rid of that hostess bitch?

-I did. -Then why is it on the news?

Her picture is everywhere.

They say she's still alive.

She's dead. I took care of everything.

Actually, that day,

I lost her in the mountains.

I'd been looking for her since then.

I took care of her yesterday before the delivery.

You should have told me!

I took care of it, didn't I?

I hid it because I didn't want Goliath to distrust me.

I've been working for him for six months and I've never even seen him.

I didn't want to be dismissed over something like this.

Damn it!

You…

You pathetic idiot.

You're sure you took care of it?

Yes.

Goliath is tense over the incoming shipment.

If she had gone to the police and said some bullshit…

Then…

you would've been the one to die.

Who's the witness?

Oh Il-yong, the one who saw the wedding dress woman.

You know him, right?

A ghost?

How did he end up witnessing all those crimes?

My thoughts exactly.

Okay. Talk to me.

They're drug dealers.

They delivered drugs to places in Sangak-dong a few days ago,

and Mun Se-yeong was in the car.

There's… a person who saw her.

That's all I saw.

Then what about the drug dealers?

Why were you tailing them?

Because of personal reasons.

That's how I saw the people they kidnapped.

I just wanted to help.

Are you satisfied now?

So what are your personal reasons?

Hey!

There's a witness?

Who is it?

I'll tell you later.

What?

Hey, Detective Oh.

That man over there.

-You still haven't identified him yet? -No.

I think we need to put out an APB with his photo.

This is urgent, sir.

Darn it. This is driving me nuts.

They're definitely members of the gang the Drug Squad is investigating,

but if we barge in, we can ruin their investigation.

But that's their problem.

We need to find Mun Se-yeong quickly!

Right?

Well… Goodness.

Man-su will flip out over this.

Bo-ra, are you okay?

I heard your dad was here earlier.

I saw him. He's really handsome.

You're lucky.

My dad's an old man. I never let him come to school.

Jo Dan-bi and Nam Eun-ji got what they deserved.

Your friends?

Yes.

Thanks to my mom, I'm famous.

Wook and Mr. Jang will be late today.

Let's go get some food.

It's on me.

No, thank you.

I don't even know where my mom is.

I'd feel bad enjoying things like that by myself.

I just want to go home and watch the news.

I wish I could go look for her with the police but…

You want to go look for her?

Then let's do that.

When did you get here?

You didn't answer when I called out to you from way over there.

As if you were mesmerized by something.

I was definitely mesmerized.

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

Probably thinking about Hyeon-ji.

By the way, did you meet Il-yong?

He said he'd go to the house to see you.

Don't even mention his name. I never want to see him.

Did you two fight?

What's the use of fighting with a ghost?

Anyway, Se-yeong…

Bo-ra's mom has been kidnapped.

What?

Il-yong said he saw it.

Isn't it suspicious?

Why is he always at the scene of the crime?

Even just a few hours ago…

What?

Nothing.

Does Bo-ra know about this?

This isn't the time to be hanging out like this.

We should go right now and--

There was a call from Se-yeong yesterday,

so I went off to find her with Detective Shin.

The police searched for her all night and have begun an open investigation.

If she called, then she must still be alive.

That's good news.

Oh? Wook, you're here.

I heard some people talking outside.

Step in for a minute.

Stay there.

Did you meet with Il-yong?

-Yes. -Then you must've heard about Ro-ha.

Ro-ha? No.

That's strange.

He said he needed your help with something to do with Ro-ha.

Did something happen to Ro-ha?

No. Nothing happened here.

But Il-yong must have seen something when he visited Ro-ha's home outside.

He was frustrated that he could see but not touch anything.

I told him to ask you for help.

My goodness.

This is why I don't like Il-yong.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

He never tells me anything, yet goes around doing suspicious things.

What suspicious things?

Ask him yourself.

What's gotten into him?

There's no clue as to the whereabouts of Mun, a woman in her 30s

who's been missing since the 6th…

Jong-a.

The news report just said the police are expanding their search.

Okay.

That means she's not near the pay phone she used yesterday.

What if she was recaptured by that man?

What?

Recaptured?

I know what's going on.

Detective Shin showed me a picture of a man,

and he said she didn't run away with him.

But since they're looking for her and it's even on the news,

it can't be anything good.

It could be something bad,

but it could also end up being nothing.

No one knows.

What's important right now is that your mom can't be reached

and we don't know where she is.

That's why the police are looking for her

and why we're looking for her too.

Right?

MISSING WOMAN IN SINMI-DONG CALLS IN 15 DAYS

And you see that I'm putting everything I can into this search, right?

Not just for your mom,

but for the kidnapper as well.

Just wait.

No matter what,

I'm going to find him.

Listen up.

The shipment is arriving at Yangcheon Port tonight.

We have intel that Goliath himself is coming.

Are you ready?

-Yes, sir! -Let's go!

-Let's go! -Go!

-Hello. -Man-su, it's me, Il-du.

You know that guy your team also has an eye on?

We're putting out an APB on him.

What? An APB? You can't!

I told you we've been working hard on this for six months.

Someone's life is on the line here.

That's not the only one.

We have several lives on the line too.

If we mess up this operation, we all die!

So we're supposed to wait and let someone die?

Come on, man.

Three hours.

Give me just three hours.

After that, do whatever you want.

What did he say?

Let's just wait three more hours.

What if we lose the victim?

It's been 32 hours since she last contacted.

You know we don't even know if she's alive.

I know.

I want to find her as much as you do!

But what can I do? They're also mid-operation!

If anything goes wrong, it will be the end for both of us!

Damn it!

Come on. Let's give them just three hours.

After that, I'll put out the APB myself.

All of you, stop what you're doing and go out and join the search.

What are you doing?

What is it?

Nothing. Let's go.

Nothing, my ass.

What?

There's not a soul in sight.

The location has been changed! Wondo Port!

-Wondo Port? -Hurry.

Sir.

I think there's been a leak.

What happened?

LOCATION CHANGED TO WONDO PORT

Do what you want with him.

Hurry!

-Search every corner. Hurry. -Yes, sir.

-Run! -Go this way. Here.

Where is that bitch?

I told you.

I got rid of her.

How can I believe a rat?

You're just a snitch for the pigs.

Gwang-taek.

It's a misunderstanding.

It's a misunderstanding.

Gwang-taek…

It's a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding--

Sir, there's no one here.

What should we do?

What do you think?

Pull out.

Pull out.

This reminds me of how I woke up in your room in Duon Village.

What is this place?

Who am I?

That's how I feel right now.

It feels like another world here.

It is another world.

I like staying here.

When you have a home outside?

I like having you at home.

Here. Look.

You can see this, right?

Do you still like it here?

Wook.

I can see Hyeon-ji.

Get a hold of yourself, Mr. Jang.

You held a funeral for Hyeon-ji.

The living must live on.

I saw her here. Wherever I turn, I see her.

She shows up at school and when I'm walking on the street.

It's true.

Go home by yourself.

I'm not saying I plan to stay here forever.

The man who took Jeong-ah.

-Choi Jeong-ah? -The one in the wedding dress?

Yes.

Jeong-ah exited the bridal shop and got in his car.

We have a picture of an unknown man. I wanted to know if she knew him.

But I think that man

took Mun Se-yeong.

Where is he and why isn't he contacting me?

The phone is off…

That's strange.

I could've sworn I heard the tree rustling.

Who's there?

What are you doing?

I heard the leaves rustle in my sleep, so I came out to see.

I think someone new has arrived.

If someone had arrived, they would've come here.

Be quiet.

Don't you hear footsteps?

Over there!

Who's there?

Did you see him?

I followed him to that alley, but I lost him.

Who?

Se-yeong's kidnapper.

Are you sure?

How did he get here?

If he died, then Se-yeong is also in danger.

Before they find his body,

we have to catch him and find out where Se-yeong is!

Why are you still here, talking loudly at night?

Se-yeong's kidnapper is here.

-So he died? -Yes!

He's here!

Or did he come here even though he's alive like us?

I don't think so. He couldn't see me when I saw him outside.

Then he must have died.

Jeez. Where is he hiding?

Is he a scary one?

How bad is he?

He's a murderer.

Then we shouldn't just stand here!

-Il-yong, you know the empty house, right? -Yes.

Where was it…

the last one in the alley near the school.

-Across from the tearoom. -And…

-Search the empty houses as well. -Okay.

Let's go. Hand me that flashlight.

No. You go with Il-yong.

I'm going to go outside and make a call to Detective Shin.

-Okay. -Damn it!

-Where is it? -Over there.

-Okay, let's go. -Okay.

Be careful.

Kids.

Our kids. The kids.

What's going on?

I was definitely stabbed.

What is this?

My goodness. This is serious.

Should I announce it over the school's PA system?

This late at night?

You'll wake up the whole village.

I was just worried about the kids.

I'll look after the kids.

Anyway, I hope we catch him fast.

I agree. Goodness.

What a fuss such late at night.

What's this?

This is just like my home.

Yes, Wook.

Se-yeong's kidnapper is dead.

-What? -He's dead.

But I saw him in the village Oh Il-yong lives in.

What that means is…

There is no body?

Yes, that's it! That's exactly right.

What about Mun Se-yeong? Where is she?

That I don't know.

The minute I recognized him, he took off.

There's a commotion in the village looking for him.

I just left to inform you.

They're looking for a person who's dead and whose body is missing?

I know it sounds ridiculous.

But that's the situation here.

Anyway, the important thing is that the kidnapper is dead.

Then what about Se-yeong? Is she in more danger?

His accomplice might have taken her after he killed the kidnapper.

They'll be careful since this is an open investigation.

But we don't know what they'll do when cornered.

So yes, she's in danger.

But thanks to you, I get the situation. Thank you.

We can share pleasantries after we find Se-yeong.

Call me back after you find him and find out where Mun Se-yeong is.

I'll do my best on my end until then.

Okay. Thanks, Detective Shin.

He wasn't over there.

He wasn't in the alley either.

Hey, Wook.

Are you sure you saw him?

Yes.

I saw him clearly and chased after him.

This is a mystery.

It's not that big of a mystery.

Don't worry about it.

Like Wook said,

someone did arrive today.

But we can't spend the night like this.

It's pitch-dark and we can't see anything.

He may be hiding somewhere and may show up soon.

So let's go to bed and look for him tomorrow.

-Okay. -I'm tired, so good night.

It's late, Wook. Go home now.

Go where?

Se-yeong's kidnapper is here.

Why does he sound so angry and cold?

I know, right?

Oh, my gosh!

What? What is it?

I found it.

I found it!

You found my mom?

No, that guy.

We can't use this.

-Why not? -I hacked into security cameras.

I can't make you my accomplice.

I won't tell them I saw this, okay?

No.

Jong-a, please.

Okay. In that case,

if anyone ever asks, you didn't see anything.

Actually, even if you saw something, it's all my responsibility.

Okay?

It's this guy?

Yes.

The night your mom called from a pay phone,

he was seen in two places.

Once here.

I think he looked at the camera on purpose.

You think so too, right?

And here later on.

Here, he tried not to be seen.

I think your mom must be here.

You're here.

Let's go!

I didn't know there was such a place.

Is that it?

Ms. Ahn.

You said we'd practice for the field day today.

Aren't we going out to the field?

Oh…

So we are going to practice for the field day.

In here.

-But why did you close the curtains? -Right.

We should practice outside on the field.

You saw the flags hanging on the strings on field day, right?

-Yes, why? -Yes.

-I don't know. -The ones hanging on the strings?

That's right. Those.

You're going to make them yourselves.

Wow!

The school is safe.

It should be.

We must protect the kids no matter what.

I'll take a look around the village, so keep them safe.

-Be careful. -Okay.

What?

I think I was here earlier.

Am I…

stuck here?

SUPERMARKET

What brings you here?

May I use your phone?

My cell phone doesn't work here.

Oh. Let's see.

Just sit here and wait.

I just need to make a phone call--

Your face is haggard. You haven't had anything to eat.

Am I right?

Don't just sit there and stare at me.

Eat up before it gets cold.

-I'm okay. -I'm not okay.

Since you're here,

I can't let you leave without feeding you.

So eat up.

I'm not trying to keep you here or anything.

Sorry?

What did you just say?

What?

Did I say something just now?

Oh, I told you to eat up before the food gets cold.

I just cooked this rice in an iron pot.

It is unbelievably tasty.

Eat up now.

Thank you for the food.

It's delicious.

I always thought the food I cooked tasted delicious.

You don't look like someone who'd do bad things.

Sorry?

What?

Did I say something again?

I didn't say anything.

Go ahead and eat.

Try this too.

He's not there?

No.

Not there either?

Where can he be in a small village like this?

He's hidden himself well.

Goodness!

You didn't hide him?

What?

I told you, I don't know him!

If you don't, you don't. Why so angry?

Getting angry makes you look more suspicious.

Damn it!

Why do I bother saying anything?

Eat some more.

Even ghosts that ate well before they died look healthier.

What? People don't say that anymore?

They do, but…

Thank you for the food.

Sit.

You punk.

Here you are.

You really feel like eating right now?

Glad you're here. I was wondering how to contact you.

Let him finish eating first.

No one should be disturbed when dining.

Captain.

The whole village is in DEFCON 1 because of him, you know that?

The kids are stuck inside the classroom,

and we've been patrolling since dawn, unable to eat anything.

Hey.

Where's Mun Se-yeong?

Tell me that first!

Put that down and let's talk.

Who are you?

Did Gwang-taek send you?

Or…

Goliath?

Who sent whom?

Who?

Gwang-taek?

Who's Gwang-taek?

And Goliath?

Is that a real gun?

It's real.

Ma'am, you go outside.

This is my store. I'm not going anywhere.

You only die once.

Listen to him, Captain Kang.

Go outside.

Don't do something you'll regret here.

If Gwang-taek didn't send you,

who are you?

The woman you took…

Mun Se-yeong.

She's my friend.

We can't harm those of the outside world.

No matter how we struggle and resist,

we can't touch them.

This is just crazy.

You may not know this,

but it's no use trying to shoot that gun here.

Don't be stupid.

Don't come near me!

I think it's time for the kids' snacks.

We're in trouble.

Inside, Wook is talking to that new guy who came yesterday.

Hey, what was that sound?

He shot him.

He shot him!

You!

Go away!

You punk!

Let go of me!

Hey, Wook! Are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

I don't think he is, though.

What?

He was the one who got shot?

You murderer! How dare you?

You deserve to be shot.

-This is hard. -No, he wasn't shot.

The truth did him in.

What? The truth?

I'm not dead.

I'm not dead!

Let go!

Oh, dear.

You just found out you're here because you're dead?

How dare you yell at us, you punk?

It's okay to kill others but not okay for you to die?

Is that unfair?

This is hard. Grab him.

-Goodness. -Come here.

Come here, you jerk.

What did you do to Se-yeong?

Tell me where she is right now, you punk!

Wook, are you hurt? I heard a gunshot.

I wasn't shot. It went off by mistake.

Thank goodness, no one was hurt.

No way.

No!

No!

Did you check both videos, Detective Shin?

The second was recorded just two days ago.

We also have the first one.

And I just checked the second.

But…

Why would he show himself on the first one, then hide?

Because he had something to hide. Right?

I'm on my way there now. I'll go and check.

Any word from Wook?

No. He went to get Mr. Jang and isn't back yet.

They stay out like it's a habit.

What a bad example for Bo-ra.

Stop crying like a baby.

We need to talk, so stop crying.

I understand that you're shocked about all this.

But could you tell me where Se-yeong is first?

Haven't you thought about how scared she and her daughter must be,

just like you are now?

She's at my home.

What?

Tell me the address.

Hey, backup is on the way, so don't go off on your own and wait.

Get here as fast as you can! Hurry!

If you go out the bathroom window, you'll reach the back alley.

If someone else comes other than me, run as fast as you can.

SHIN JUN-HO

Answer the phone, Detective Shin.

Help!

-Save me! -Come back down!

I'm the police!

Damn it!

Where did that stupid Goh Sang-cheol hide her?

Not that house.

My real home is somewhere else.

I got that house…

to infiltrate the drug cartel.

Are you a detective?

Yes.

I infiltrated the drug cartel six months ago.

The shipment will be arriving at Yangcheon Port soon.

Goliath will show up in person.

While delivering drugs,

I sent the evidence and information to the police.

You were a police officer?

I knew it.

You didn't look like someone who'd do bad things.

You should have told us that when you got here.

Then why did you put the woman in the trunk and threaten her?

Yes. Why did you take Bo-ra's mom?

If she was caught,

she and I…

both would have died.

People are gathering. Go and control the crowd.

-Hurry up and go. -Yes, sir.

Come here for a second.

Wook.

Detective Shin.

Mun Se-yeong is safe.

She wasn't hurt badly.

That's great.

Bo-ra will be thrilled.

That little runt must have been so worried.

I got here quickly thanks to Jong-a.

Jong-a? How is she involved?

She found out that he had come by here,

so we were in the area.

Really?

That brat.

-You can go. I'll call you later. -Okay. Good work.

Il-du.

-Where's Sang-cheol? -What brings you here?

This is Sang-cheol's home.

Where is he?

Mun Se-yeong was alone in the house.

Mun Se-yeong's kidnapper's name is Sang-cheol?

He's not a kidnapper.

Then what is he? Your informant?

A detective.

He was working undercover.

PUBLIC SAFETY MESSAGE MUN SE-YEONG SAFELY FOUND…

That's great.

I told you we could find her.

Wook!

They found Bo-ra's mom.

I actually came to tell you that.

Guess you saw the public safety message first.

How's the detective?

I put him to bed and left when he fell asleep.

I don't know if he's asleep or passed out from crying so much.

He won't eat anything and keeps crying.

-Mr. Jang. -Goodness.

We found Se-yeong.

You found Bo-ra's mom? How is she?

Let's talk about that later.

Jong-a's buying dinner tonight.

Let's have a feast tonight.

She told me not to come if I don't bring you.

Okay, I'll have to go home tonight.

Wait here. I'll go get my bag.

Hurry up, I'm hungry!

Be quiet.

Must be nice to have someone waiting for you at home.

Today is a special day.

Usually, we don't have anyone waiting for us.

Don't mind me.

This ghost is just talking foolishness.

Stop calling yourself that. You're making me sad.

I've never once thought of the people here as any different from me.

Okay, I hear you.

The police found Ms. Mun 17 days after she went missing.

She looked unstable when found,

but currently, there are no major problems with her health.

The police are interviewing her to figure out the circumstances.

CLOSED TODAY

Be careful, kids.

Will Bo-ra be going home right away?

No. Detective Shin says they need to investigate further.

He said they could still be in danger.

The house will feel empty after she leaves.

I liked that the house was full of people.

You feel that way and yet you still leave home all the time?

Stop following me and go do your thing.

I'm not following you around.

I'm going to see that crybaby detective.

Then see to your business and leave.

Don't wait for me and all that.

What a joke.

Why would I hang around waiting for you?

Listen closely.

We need to carpool to reduce pollution and save energy.

That way, we can save money, pay rent,

and make Jong-a less mad at us.

I'm looking at the big picture here.

You don't know anything.

You're all talk and no walk.

Ro-ha, could you tell me what this picture is about?

I'm having a picnic in the mountains with my parents.

Your family went on a picnic in the mountains?

No.

Then?

I was alone in the mountains.

I was so cold and hungry. I missed my mom.

That's why I imagined this.

Why did you rip it?

What's going on?

Ha-yun tore up my drawing!

This is a bad drawing.

Ha-yun, may I take a look?

Wow.

Is this a boat?

A motor boat. The kind that you can see on a lake.

There's no boat here.

I didn't see one.

There used to be, but not anymore.

It's a bad boat, so the grown-ups got rid of it.

Wow.

Captain Kang also needs to rest once in a while.

Captain Kang!

Captain Kang!

Mr. Jung.

Have you seen Alice?

What about her?

This is terrible.

Alice has gone missing.

Alice is gone?

We were having a class by the lake…

-Yes? -She disappeared.

You shouldn't have taken your eyes off her!

Wait for me.

Oh, dear.

Alice is missing?

We were going back to school after drawing,

and I couldn't find Alice.

She was just there.

All that's left is her sketchbook.

You take the rest of the kids and go.

I'll go look for Alice.

Alice!

Alice!

This is all because of that bad drawing.

I didn't do anything.

Ha-yun, you have to hold Yeong-rim's hand. Come on.

Let's go.

EPILOGUE

What is that?

It's nothing.

Come on. Let me see that.

If it's nothing, why are you being so careful with it?

Is it Ha-yun's?

No.

It's Hyeon-ji's.

Hyeon-ji's things

are still here?

If you give it to someone as a gift, it remains.

It's Hyeon-ji's letter.

A letter she wrote to me.

Sure.

Dad.

I can now read difficult letters.

And I can write well too.

You're coming to find me, right?

Find Ha-yun as well.

Yeong-rim and my other friends too.

They all want to see their parents.

So please find all of us.

I told them that there's nothing you can't do.

I miss you, Dad.

I love you.

She wants you to find them all?

She is so like her dad.

She's quite meddlesome.

Right?

And her uncle is just as meddlesome.

-You know. -Of course, I do.

So don't worry.

And don't carry this all by yourself.

We can find all of Hyeon-ji's friends. We can find Alice too.

Right?

Yes.

Goodness.

So this is why you wouldn't come home.

Why did she call it a bad boat?

How did a small girl like her get up there?

Who did you play with on the boat?

Fish?

Don't you think there's also a secret to this village?

I would also like to know

what I did wrong to be kidnapped.

They're afraid of nothing.

Why is a drug cartel kidnapping and killing people?

I only have my suspicions, so I can't tell you.

Who's the owner of this mask?

That's him.
