THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.

You punk.

Get out. Come out.

Hey, come out!

Come on out.

Hey!

Hey! Stop right there!

I couldn't see the license plate.

It's 40G 1408.

Detective Shin, it's me.

I just saw Kim Pil-jung,

but I lost him.

Yes, 40… What was it again?

It's 40G 1408.

It's 40G 1408.

A gray SUV.

Locate a gray SUV, 40G 1408 within the Seohwa-ro area.

Hello.

How have you been?

Me?

I arrived just a little while ago.

Here?

I'm…

under the same sky as you.

We should meet.

Yes.

Tomorrow?

All right, sir.

Where's Kim Pil-jung?

I think he switched cars and left about ten minutes ago.

Detective Kim.

Secure the nearby security footage and screen the cars within a 10km radius.

Yes, sir.

Il-yong.

The cops are looking for him, so let's just wait.

He was right in front of me, and I couldn't do anything.

That's not true.

You let me know, so I was able to go after him.

The cops are looking for him now. You did what you could do.

I don't care.

Let them look if they want.

I'm sorry for making you go through so much.

Il-yong.

Were you there

because you knew Kim Pil-jung would be there?

That was our old neighborhood.

He never visited after he moved, saying it's a slum.

I just went to see in case he was hiding there.

And was he there all this time?

I don't think so.

I checked it out a few days ago and he wasn't there.

It also felt like he was there to meet someone.

Who?

I don't know.

It seemed like he was waiting for someone in the alley.

Then he just left.

But why were you there?

I saw the woman I keep seeing in my dreams.

So…

I followed her.

Your dreams?

Yes, she seemed to be in her thirties.

She had no makeup on

and tied her hair back like this.

And she has a mole under one eye.

That's right.

You know her?

I think I saw her while looking for Pil-jung.

Where does she live?

I don't know that.

I just passed her by,

but she felt familiar for some reason.

I'm sure I don't know her though.

How do you know her?

She's a stranger to me too.

But…

I keep seeing her in my dreams.

That's strange.

That's why I'm looking into her.

Are you ready yet?

Why is getting a T-shirt taking you so long?

But…

why do you need this?

Why do you think?

To clear your name.

I want to show that Ha-yun wasn't afraid of you

but that she was scared by the T-shirt.

-So give it here. -But

what if…

this scares her more?

Don't worry.

Hye-ju said she'll be careful when she explains.

The kids were playing in the playground…

when a woman came to talk to them

and gave them something.

Are they me and Ha-yun?

I was crying then.

Why were you crying?

Mom and Dad

said they weren't going to live together anymore.

So you cried because you were sad.

Then what did this woman give you?

Banana milk.

She gave these kids

banana milk.

Ha-yun.

I'm right here.

They…

shouldn't drink that.

She's a bad woman.

Was this bad woman…

wearing this?

It's all right.

I'm right here.

My goodness…

What on earth has she done while wearing a volunteer group T-shirt?

I'm more worried about all the bad things she could've done.

We must catch her quickly.

But can we find her with just a T-shirt?

We have to find her no matter what.

How?

Well, Wook will do it.

He's a genius when it comes to scheming.

Wook will do it, not me.

They haven't budged in days,

which is more suspicious.

Hello.

Hello to you too.

You're here.

Yes.

Where's Ms. Lee?

She's waiting inside.

BLUE HOPE FOUNDATION SHARING LOVE FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

The Blue Hope Foundation is an NGO founded 17 years ago.

It doesn't rely on government funds,

but it's funded by donations and run by volunteers.

The donations and their usage are transparently disclosed.

It has quite a good reputation.

The foundation probably has records from 15 years ago, right?

Yeong-rim and Ha-yun came to the village 15 years ago.

I'm not sure.

It does a lot of one-off events.

I don't know if they keep records of volunteers.

I actually spoke with an employee on my way here.

And they keep some on computers and some in documents.

We'll have to go and see.

Then I'll go with you. This is my specialty.

Okay.

Where are you going?

Do I need to tell you all my comings and goings?

Respect your elders.

Where are you going? Are you going to see Detective Shin?

You think I just go meet him all the time?

Where are they going?

Wook.

Hey, Detective Shin.

Surprisingly, Filipino cuisine suits Koreans well.

They use lots of spices over there.

Here.

Thank you.

But…

there's nothing like this anywhere else.

Right.

This is it.

Let's drink.

Help yourself.

You need to eat well more than ever at a time like this.

I took care of him as soon as I found out he was a tail, but…

This was my fault.

That's what those cops at the Drug Squad do.

They need to work at least that much since they get paid from our taxes.

You put the rest of the stuff in a safe place?

Yes.

But…

I think I need to move it again to be sure.

Okay.

Now, let's stop talking shop and eat.

Yes, sir.

How long do you plan to stay in Korea, sir?

It's been a while, so I plan to go on tours

and find my stuff.

I kept it safe.

-The house in your name-- -Not that.

There's something bigger, remember?

What I lost three years ago.

You said his name was Oh Il-yong?

Have you heard anything about him?

I'm still looking for him.

That bastard took on what he couldn't handle.

You…

You really didn't know about it?

If I had, you would have found out already.

It's worth so much.

True.

Let's move the stuff first, then set the stage.

No mistakes this time.

Don't worry, sir.

Do you eat eels?

Sorry?

I do.

Let's go for eels next time.

I know a great place.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, switch the license plate.

Yes, sir.

What is this?

Sir.

Hurry up. He's waiting.

This…

We searched every house, but he wasn't in that neighborhood.

He switched cars and ran.

We must find Kim Pil-jung

to find Detective Goh and Il-yong.

And to find out if Lee Dong-min is really the one behind Jang Do-ri.

Since you mentioned Jang Do-ri…

Detective Shin.

You trust me, right?

Why? What is it?

Well…

For you…

I've been keeping an eye on those thugs we saw last time.

Did you put a tracker on them?

They were watching us so we should do the same.

Good work.

I've been worried about that. Let's take a look.

Wait, what's wrong with this?

What's going on?

It turned off!

They must have found it.

Then where was their last location? I should go.

-I'm going with you. -No.

From now on, I'll be going after Jang Do-ri and Lee Dong-min alone.

It's too dangerous for you.

I'll call you if there's any progress.

Just send me the location. Thanks.

Did they really find it?

You know me, don't you?

No, who are you?

You look like someone I know.

I guess I was mistaken.

I'm sorry.

Could you step aside?

Of course.

I'm sorry.

What a strange man. Why would he talk to me?

So many young people are coming these days.

Who are you?

What is this place?

A place where people live.

You must have a lot of questions, so follow me.

Come.

SUPERMARKET

Drink this scorched-rice tea first.

No need for these.

I'd like to use your phone.

I guess you'd want that if you were doing something urgent.

Have some snacks before dinner.

It's hot, so don't forget to cool it.

I'll explain what this place is while you eat.

So what did you do before you came here?

You're very stylish.

Oh, that's hot!

What the hell?

It's you, isn't it?

The one who killed Il-yong!

Il-yong?

You know him?

Who are you?

What does it matter who I am?

Il-yong told me.

He said someone he thought was a friend stabbed him.

This is a friendship ring I bought with Pil-jung.

I thought he was my friend.

I was an idiot.

He was no friend.

It's you!

I always wanted to see what you looked like.

And you look like a piece of trash.

What the hell are you saying?

Let go of me!

There's no mail.

She doesn't seem to be living with someone else.

She seems to speak Chinese.

Maybe she's here to work.

Since we found out where she lives,

we should look more into her.

Let me go, you punk!

What's going on?

What the hell are you doing?

What?

Kim Pil-jung.

Captain, are you okay?

-Yes. -What is this?

Is that you, Il-yong?

Who else would I be, you crazy bastard?

Goliath?

-Did he die? -He just arrived.

How did you know he was Kim Pil-jung?

The ring he's wearing.

Il-yong was also wearing it when he came.

Hey.

Where's my body?

What the hell are you talking about?

Then where's the stuff I told you to keep safe?

You killed me. What did you do with my body?

Are you crazy?

Have you gone mad?

What body? You're standing right here.

You still don't know what this place is?

What is this place?

It's the afterlife.

I'm here because of you.

What are you talking about? I didn't kill you.

You stabbed me!

I did that because you took the stuff

and talked nonsense about turning yourself in.

It wasn't enough to kill you.

Il-yong.

Mr. Noh's gone crazy, looking for you.

There's no time for this.

We have to get the stuff and…

Hey!

-What's going on? -No.

Hey! Tell me where my body is!

Where's my body? Tell me!

Answer him, Kim Pil-jung!

You can't go like this!

He…

He just left…

like that?

What…

What do I do now?

What else is there to do?

I'm going to find you no matter what.

You stay strong.

-Thank you. -Good work.

Take care.

Good job.

Good work. Bye.

-Have some snacks. -Thank you.

Take care.

Excuse me.

We're here to see Director Choi Ji-yeon.

That's me.

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

I'm very interested in child welfare.

I'd like to do volunteer work and even teach kids.

And when there's a chance,

I'll also donate some items.

I've only been making regular donations,

but now I plan to do some volunteer work too.

We'd be very grateful for your help.

By the way,

I'm looking for someone among your long-time sponsors.

Someone I know

would like to contact that person to thank her for her help.

Who would that be?

About 15 years ago,

she seemed to have done volunteer work for this foundation.

What was her name again?

Maybe her name is on the record.

You may be right.

She'd be on the list if she made regular donations.

But if she only came to volunteer…

We do require application forms.

Is that right?

Then please help so that I can thank her.

-This is great. -Yes.

-Thank you. -There's more besides these.

Finding a needle in a haystack would be faster.

You seriously need my help with this.

Pardon?

I'll put all of these records in order.

All of them?

I'll begin with the records from 15 years ago as you've said.

Until two years ago, I actually worked at a community center.

Organizing, categorizing papers, and updating databases

are all my specialties.

But there are so many files here.

Don't worry.

I'll get started tonight.

Hi there.

Ms. Lee.

Even you can't do all that by yourself.

I never said I was going to do it alone.

I'll be in the office.

I'm very quick

at situations like this.

What are you doing after work?

Are we having dinner?

I have nothing going on.

You're always hungry for food.

He's so clueless.

Do we need to work late today?

Yes. It's not for the café though.

SO GOOD COFFEE

-This is Shin Jun-ho. -Hey, Detective Shin.

Goliath…

Kim Pil-jung is dead.

What?

I'm a bit confused myself,

but he's dead for sure.

Did he come to that village? Did he say where Detective Goh's body is?

Let alone Detective Goh,

we didn't even hear about Il-yong.

He didn't even know he was dead.

And he was adamant

that he didn't kill Il-yong.

After that, he suddenly

disappeared.

All right.

Detective Oh, get me the info on all anonymous male corpses

that were reported today.

He shouldn't have come in the first place.

Or at least, he could have told us what we wanted to hear.

Il-yong has been after him for three years and he left just like that.

Il-yong's feeling very down right now.

So, in the village where the missing dead live,

the one that killed one of them came?

How can something like that happen?

Wait, so can you just leave after a short time?

In Duon Village,

I once saw someone go the next day,

but I've never seen anyone go within an hour.

It was a first for Captain Kang too.

It's like he was messing with him.

He should have told us something.

He did say something.

What?

He said something about this stuff.

He's been looking for something Il-yong hid away.

We wanted to ask more, but he disappeared.

Kim Pil-jung is the one who killed you?

He's the one who had me killed, right?

Damn it!

I should have punched him in the face before he left.

I'm too frustrated to stay inside today.

Goliath…

is dead?

Yes.

Now, there is no one to back you up.

The murders of Jeon Dae-gyeong, Choi Jeong-ah, and Lee Gyeong-seon

will be all on you.

Why is that?

I told you before.

Your DNA was found on the needle that was used on Choi Jeong-ah.

You're lying.

Don't you remember that abandoned factory?

Choi Jeong-ah was in the trunk,

and Goh Sang-cheol wouldn't do it,

so you stuck the needle in her yourself.

And Goh Sang-cheol…

You stabbed him while his hands were tied and couldn't fight back.

Right there.

A detective, at that.

You piece of trash.

There was no one else there.

True.

There were only the two of you in that container.

I know because the dead Goh Sang-cheol told me.

Should I tell you more?

Sang-cheol seems to have a lot to say to you.

It wasn't me.

Goliath ordered everything.

Listen, you idiot.

How are you going to prove that when Goliath is dead?

You'll just rot here for the rest of your life.

I won't be coming back.

Have a good life.

But I'm not sure if you'll last long.

Detective! It wasn't me!

Goliath ordered me to do all that!

What?

You have something to tell me?

Sir, I found out where Detective Goh's body is.

"I'm not alone anymore."

"'Now.'"

"The cherry blossoms all went down, riding the wind upon the signal,

and had fun with the kids."

"One of the blossoms was torn between choices."

"It liked listening to happy stories,

but it wanted to make others happy."

What were you doing?

I was reading a book to Alice.

Alice, you must be so happy that she's reading for you.

I'll read it for you too.

This is my favorite book.

Ha-yun only reads this book.

She's read it more than 100 times.

Not 100 times.

Come out and have some sausages.

Let's go.

Ha-yun, Yeong-rim.

-Enjoy. -Okay.

Be careful when you carry that.

It looks delicious.

What did you call, "staring into the fire" again?

Bulmeong.

It's a term for staring into the fire for a long time.

You don't call it campfires anymore?

You do, but nowadays people use the term bulmeong.

I'm just happy to see the kids having fun.

Me too.

Il-yong said he was going for a walk. Where is he?

Wook went to get him.

I left because I didn't want to ruin it for the others.

Don't worry.

They're having fun.

Il-yong.

I talked to the police outside.

Uncle Sang-cheol!

Try this.

It's delicious.

You eat it. I'm okay.

Open up.

Come on.

It's good, isn't it?

I'll bring back more.

Ha-yun

isn't afraid of me anymore.

I told you it wasn't because of you.

Come here!

Come watch the campfire.

Come and enjoy bulmeong.

Yes.

You need something sweet when you're stressed.

Thanks.

I couldn't tell you earlier because I was so out of it.

Yesterday…

I actually went to see your parents.

They were both doing well.

Your big brother and his kids are visiting this weekend.

Your mother

wanted to see you

and said that they should call you.

But your father said they shouldn't bother you

because you'd be busy.

Thanks.

It's nothing.

You ended up here while trying to catch bad guys.

I'm different from you.

Of course you are.

You…

are needed

in this village.

Why are you crying when his parents are well?

It's so moving.

I can't help but cry.

It's because you're old.

I'm a bit emotional these days.

Did I say something wrong?

Why did you have to say we're old?

We're all old.

NO TRESPASSING

This was done recently.

Detective Oh, hand me the hammer.

Here it is, sir.

To us!

-To us! -To us!

-Goodness. -That's good.

This is good.

I wondered why people go camping when they could rest at home,

but this isn't so bad.

I tried it because someone recommended it.

This is my first time camping since I came here.

It's wonderful.

Wasn't it Detective Goh who said camping was fun?

Yes, well…

You went through so much since you got here.

Just relax today.

I wish I could.

When I first came here…

things were so crazy.

Chasing criminals outside

was nothing compared to here.

At first, I was chased by Wook.

Then later on…

I chased him.

After one problem is solved, another one popped up.

But…

every time…

you all helped.

This is…

a really strange place.

Are you sure you're not the one who's strange?

He's right.

He's an odd duck.

You shot at me, remember?

And you cried so easily.

I must be drunk.

Why am I trembling?

Goodbye.

Crybaby detective.

Goodbye.

You went through a lot.

It's a good thing.

He had such a hard time.

I hope he's in a better place now.

Hey, stop.

Stop.

Sir, please.

Detective Oh.

Go bring Team Leader Lee here.

Yes, sir.

It's cocaine.

There are 10 of these 3kg bags.

These are worth at least ten billion won.

And this is just the amount they kept hidden.

Which means there are more out there in the market.

Sir.

Any news on Kim Pil-jung?

That reckless bastard is doing business again.

Goliath…

Kim Pil-jung is dead.

Are you sure that's Kim Pil-jung?

It's the same method.

These cartels all operate differently.

Even if they copy the method, it can't be 100% the same.

This guy…

is definitely Goliath.

Open for business.

Dealer name.

Goliath.

You saved the face of our Drug Squad.

You would have found him even if it weren't for me.

Thank you

for finding Sang-cheol.

That's my job.

What did you just say?

Detective Goh Sang-cheol

died in the line of duty.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, sir.

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

GOH SANG-CHEOL WENT MISSING THIS AUGUST…

You did well.

SO GOOD COFFEE

Goodbye, Sang-cheol.

Can you see it too?

I can see it clearly.

We were a little late.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

BLUE HOPE FOUNDATION

Let's speed it up a bit.

Here.

Let's go for pork back-bone stew after we move all these.

Pork back-bone stew? Really?

You can even order a large with extra meat. Okay?

Okay!

Forget moving all of these.

When are we going to put them in order?

We just need to move them.

Using the program that I created,

it'll be over if we stay up all night tonight.

All night?

Yes.

A fire broke out on the second floor of a 6-story building

in Namseomun-gu, Seoul around 10:00 p.m. last night.

It was put out in an hour…

What is this?

What are you watching

so early in the morning?

You should watch some drama.

Kim Pil-jung is dead,

but why isn't it on the news?

He disappeared from the village.

Maybe…

they found his body and hid it somewhere.

Could it be

that someone rescued him,

and he's still alive?

I wish I could see what's going on inside that head of yours.

I'm home.

Hey, Ms. Lee.

You're coming home now?

Yes.

You finished quite late.

The data have been organized.

Finding the culprit is a matter of time now.

Want some coffee?

Up next.

An 80-year-old man living alone in a slum was found dead.

He suffered from a chronic disease according to his neighbors and the police.

And he also had bad knees, so he couldn't move around with ease.

It was found that he and his family stopped contact over ten years ago.

I doubted that she could,

but she really did put all of them in order.

Don't be so surprised.

You'll be shocked when Ms. Lee really shows you what she's got.

Here's the schedule you asked for.

Tell me in advance when you can participate.

Sure, I'll talk to Ms. Lee

and get back to you.

Okay.

-Mr. Jang. -Yes?

Would you like one?

Oh, no. I'm fine.

I don't do well with milk.

Do you always keep

banana milk around?

No.

A sponsor brings them sometimes for the employees.

I see.

And how long has that sponsor been doing good work here?

She first came about 15 or 16 years ago.

I see.

You're scaring me, Il-yong.

The dust was getting to me.

I'm going to clean up here today

and also mop the floor.

You should rest, Captain.

Hey…

Okay then.

-The dishes, please. -Sure.

Leave that here.

My, that stinks.

Shall I warm up the food for you?

I don't have much of an appetite.

You need to eat something to get better.

If it's hard for you to chew…

How about this?

This is the playground from 15 years ago where Ha-yun and Yeong-rim went missing.

Two blocks from here, there used to be a senior welfare center.

On the day the kids disappeared,

the Blue Hope Foundation was there to give baths and cut hair.

How do we find her when it's been 15 years?

So how many volunteers were there that day?

Thirty people.

Thirty?

The kids said

it was a woman who gave them the banana milk.

I picked out women above 30 among the 30 volunteers,

and there are eight of them.

And these are the info on those eight people.

What about the T-shirt?

Wouldn't that provide a clue?

I looked into the T-shirt.

They were all wearing one that day.

But there was a milk retail store owner.

Hey!

When I was at the foundation earlier,

someone left a bag filled with banana milk.

I heard she leaves it every week.

And she's been a long-time sponsor.

It's been 15 years, so I bet the milk retail store is gone now.

No, that person…

I heard she's a care worker, not a milk retail store owner.

A care worker?

Yes.

Why would a care worker hand out milk?

How would I know?

Does she run a milk retail store or something?

My goodness.

-Mr. Jang. -Yes?

Please call Director Choi

and ask if the care worker's name is Kim Geon-ju.

She was on site that day too.

You sure she's a care worker?

Why would you call her?

She was there when they did volunteer work that day.

You never know.

She was the only care worker there.

What if it's a mistake?

Let's not make this worse.

Director Choi?

This is Pan-seok.

You know, when I was there earlier…

The banana milk.

Is the person who brings them named Kim Geon-ju?

I think she may be the person I'm looking for.

Yes, you're right.

Okay. Thank you.

She is.

I told you I was right.

I thought it was strange.

The care worker.

She's the one.

-It must be her. -Really?

Why are you crying here alone?

Did you fight with your friends?

My friends

won't play with me anymore.

Oh, dear.

Where do you live?

Do you live here?

Where's your mom?

She went to heaven.

My mom is also up there.

She was very sick.

Fifteen years ago, Kim Geon-ju's job

wasn't a care worker.

My dream was to be a teacher.

But after high school, I became a nurse's aide.

I wanted to take care of my mom.

I thought it would be better if I did it.

But she became sicker and sicker.

Then one day,

she held my hand and begged me.

"Please…

kill me."

Up until ten years ago, she worked as a nurse's aide.

Then after three years, she got the care worker's license.

Among the elderly people she visited,

thirteen died of natural causes.

Thirteen?

Yes.

They were all very elderly and suffered from chronic illnesses

so they were all ruled as natural deaths.

They didn't die when they were in her care

but a few years later.

But I think…

this is more than just a coincidence.

Let's say you're right.

But what about Ha-yun and Yeong-rim?

They're not the elderly.

He's right.

They weren't kids she knew personally either.

Among the children's hospital patients where she used to work

some went missing.

They were all kids from families receiving government welfare

or from childcare facilities.

Why would she kill those poor kids?

Maybe…

she killed them because she pitied them.

Rather than living in pain,

it's better to die in comfort now.

I wish…

I could have made my mom comfortable sooner.

That's just crazy.

Kill them because she feels pity?

How dare she?

She's a crazy psychopath.

In other words, an insane serial killer.

The elderly were ruled as natural deaths,

but the kids are still missing.

If Kim Geon-ju really did this,

we must find the place where she hid the bodies.

Where are you going?

To find the kids.

Come on, get up.

Let's go!

Wook, come on.

I'm not done yet.

I wiped the floor yesterday.

This is an empty room, so no need to clean it every day.

If you have dishes to wash, I'll do them.

Just sit down.

I know you've been upset

after that jerk left.

And then, Detective Goh left too.

For three years,

I've only been thinking about that.

And now, I don't know what to do.

Yes, you do. Continue with what you've been doing.

You weren't following him around because you liked him.

You were trying to find out where he hid your body.

But Pil-jung is dead now.

I wasn't going to say this, but…

I think it served him right.

That bastard is better off dead than living a good life.

I even got the chance

to pour hot tea on him.

He would have continued to do bad things if he were alive.

Even without him,

you can still find your body.

You can still go outside

and Wook will help you in any way he can.

Mr. Jang and Wook

won't let down the villagers.

I'm sure of that.

I know it too.

Even when Detective Goh left,

Wook told me beforehand.

So I got to tell him everything I wanted to.

That's good.

Let's go.

HYEON-JI!! I'LL MAKE SURE TO FIND YOUR FRIENDS TOO…

Thank you.

It's magnolia berry tea.

I picked and dried them myself.

This is a precious one.

This is great.

There's something you wanted to ask me?

Yes.

Well…

I'm sorry.

Do you remember Ha-yun and Yeong-rim?

Who?

Before, you…

At the playground, you…

At the playground…

Banana milk…

The playground

and banana milk?

Mr. Jang also has a sad story.

His young daughter was found dead after missing for 15 years.

His wife took her own life

not long after his daughter went missing.

He also tried to end it all a few times.

I remember them.

The kids I met at the playground.

I already sent them to a better place.

Mr. Jang.

Put down all your painful memories,

and rest in peace now.

They say you take some secrets to your grave.

And we're not even in our graves yet.

When are you going to take us?

Mr. Jang. Mr. Jang!

Where are these kids?

Why are you asking me that?

Go find Yeong-rim and Ha-yun.

They've been here too long.

How can I forget?

It's all thanks to you and Kim Wook.

We have to be open to all possibilities.

They're not your average criminals.

Who are you?

Let's just say that I'm your dad's friend.
