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

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

This is Juwon. Requesting a rescue.

We're evacuating to Seonggu Port from our current location.

Juwon is on its way to take refuge.

Juwon?

Can you repeat what you said?

Jong-yun, that idiot.

Jong-yun!

Go inside the cabin, right now!

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

This is Juwon.

We can't find our captain who went out on the deck.

I killed her.

Why did you do it?

After my finger got cut off,

I did some gambling while recovering

and got into some debt.

I had no way to get that kind of money.

Then…

I remembered Eun-sil mentioning some insurance money.

My wife doesn't know what I've done.

But one day,

she started saying that she keeps seeing Eun-sil

and that she hears things.

I thought my wife was being punished for what I did.

And I felt guilty every single day of my life.

I'm sorry.

I don't even need a trial.

Please…

give me the death penalty!

You are unbelievably selfish.

You should be apologizing to the victim.

The corpse was damaged.

Why did you do that?

Welcome.

Why are you just standing there?

You're all dressed up.

Were you at a funeral or something?

Yes.

I have some spicy beef soup, so come and eat.

Did it have to be spicy beef soup?

How is this possible?

What should we do now?

About what?

Are you going to tell her?

She has a right to know.

SUPERMARKET

That's not funny.

I told you, I drowned at sea.

The wind and waves were so bad

that the boat was shaking left and right.

I remember clearly.

Did Jong-yun

really kill me?

He confessed to the police.

Does Sun-hee know?

He said he didn't tell his wife.

But she kept seeing and hearing things

so she's been receiving psychiatric treatment.

Why would he do that to me?

For the insurance money?

It seems like it.

Leave her be.

Do you think she'll be okay?

I doubt it.

I couldn't even tell her that we found her body.

You found whose body?

And where's Captain Kang going?

Mr. Jung.

Hey!

You bastard!

You should have just let me die.

You should have…

let me go in peace instead of sending me here!

You bastard!

Ju-won…

Honey, take me with you!

My baby.

I miss you so much.

Hey!

Why do I have to be punished?

Why must I be punished?

Why?

Why can't I even die on my own terms?

Why do I have to be here?

Why…

Are you done crying?

That's enough for today.

You'll faint if you cry anymore.

You can come here to cry tomorrow, then the day after that.

You'll feel better if you keep doing that.

Or you may not.

I'm being punished.

I said to you before

that I think it's horrible

what your son did to you.

It is horrible.

And all this time,

I had no idea what happened to me.

The 50 years of my life

and 30 years after death…

They're all meaningless.

They're not meaningless.

You should blame the people who betrayed those who cared for them.

What's the point?

We're the ones who are stuck here.

Who are you?

Don't you know me?

I thought Pil-jung told you about me.

I'm Mr. Noh.

The person who paid your wages.

Where is Pil-jung?

Right. You wouldn't know since you were unconscious.

There was an accident.

I warned him again and again that he shouldn't do drugs.

Looking for this?

That's mine.

Before I give this back,

I'm also looking for something that belongs to me.

What is it?

Pil-jung said you have it.

How reckless of you.

What were you trying to do after stealing it?

What are you talking about?

You stole what belongs to me.

I didn't steal anything.

Pil-jung

told me you hid it.

You're saying he lied?

What are you talking about?

What on earth are you talking about?

It makes no sense.

If you really don't know anything about it,

why did Kim Pil-jung keep you alive all these years?

And…

there's no reason to keep you alive if you don't know anything.

Don't you agree?

But perhaps…

some pain will jog your memory.

Why is the captain still here when we found her body?

I don't know.

-This is all very confusing. -Wook!

Mr. Jang!

Why didn't you answer my calls?

Mr. Oh Il-yong disappeared.

What?

What are you talking about? He can't even walk yet.

What do we do?

All right.

-Let's go. Come on! -Yes, sir!

-Let's hurry. -Yes, sir.

We'll be back, sir.

Where are you going?

We'll call you.

The numbers.

The numbers.

What is this place?

What are you doing?

What do you think you're doing?

I like the way you look.

What are you doing?

I'm taking pictures.

Stop taking them.

Give me your phone.

I said, give it to me.

Hey, wait a minute.

Damn it!

Jong-a.

I'm at the door.

Okay, hold on. I'm nearly done.

Done!

That was weird.

What the…

-Mr. Jang, are you okay? -Yes.

You didn't know how fast I could run, did you?

I used to be a runner.

Would Wook be okay?

That's why I said I'd go with him and dressed accordingly,

but he said he'd rather do this alone.

I have to get the timing right.

One must be fair when doing business.

This is how business should be done.

Il-yong.

That bastard.

That annoying bastard is back.

Just send Il-yong over here.

Then you'll never have to see

my face again.

Do you know him?

I told you, I don't know him.

He doesn't know you, so why do you keep ruining things for me?

I really wanted to know who was behind Goliath.

You're Mr. Noh?

Noh Yoon-gu?

You're the real Goliath, aren't you?

You bastard.

You get people addicted to drugs.

A few days later, I saw the news that a druggie father killed his son.

What's worse,

you also kidnap people.

If any of their clients fail to pay back their due credit,

they cut out their organs and sell them.

And sell their organs overseas.

And you still call yourself human?

The people that we can't find

because you killed them without a trace.

Have you ever thought about their families?

Is it wrong for a debt collector to collect debts?

Okay. Got it.

I've heard enough.

Take him.

Go ahead. Take him.

We're getting out of here. Don't look back.

Wait.

Did you say your goodbyes?

Take your time for your farewell.

Hey.

You may not remember,

but you helped a lot of people.

On behalf of those people,

I'm going to help you this time.

Keep things clean.

Let's end things now.

Row M, 13.

Now, Jong-a.

Run, Wook!

Are you okay, sir?

Get that bastard!

Hey! Stop right there!

Hey!

Don't move.

Detective Shin.

Noh Yoon-gu is inside.

Row S, 35.

Detective Yu, take him.

-Yes, sir. -You two, follow me.

Wook!

Oh, my…

-Are you all right? -Yes. I'm okay.

Hey, Il-yong.

Are you okay?

Yes, I guess so.

But who are you, anyway?

You want to know?

But you don't even remember.

I'm sure it'll come to him gradually.

I'm glad that you're okay.

Do you know me too?

Of course.

EMERGENCY WARD

How did you know Noh Yoon-gu would be there?

I didn't.

I went there to find Il-yong.

What I mean is,

how did you know Oh Il-yong would be there?

After Il-yong got hospitalized,

I started preparing for this.

A GPS tracker?

On me?

Where?

Ta-da.

This may look funny, but it's quite effective.

You know this is illegal, right?

Look.

We do know that,

but please understand why we had to do it.

You guys are unbelievable.

But…

do we really know each other?

You guys are like a private commando unit.

Did you three start a private detective agency or something?

Oh, a detective agency.

I haven't thought that far.

It was a joke.

Goodness.

Anyway, I'm so glad to know that you have my back.

Thanks.

Not at all.

It's the police's duty to protect citizens.

So how do you start an agency?

Mr. Oh Il-yong.

Do you remember everything that happened before you fell unconscious?

You tried to convince Kim Pil-jung to turn yourselves in?

Well…

He still has a lot of tests. Let's talk after he's done.

INSURANCE POLICY

Captain Kang!

Are you in there?

Yes. Coming!

Oh, come on.

Don't look at me as if I'm a child by dangerous waters.

Come on now.

You had me so worried out by the water earlier.

You are a child out by the water.

Have you eaten anything?

Yes, I have.

Captain Kang.

Have you eaten?

I just said that I have.

I'm really okay.

Don't worry about me.

If you say so.

If you're that worried about me,

could you look after the store for a while?

I'm going to pick up Alice from Hye-ju's place.

Sure. Go ahead.

And Mr. Jang,

how about a drink with me if you have the time?

I have something to tell you. And a favor to ask too.

A favor?

Wook.

Where's Mr. Jang?

He went to see Captain Kang

but isn't back yet.

How come you two came together?

He dragged me here.

He was discharged from the hospital

but had nowhere to go.

It's weird being here,

at a stranger's home.

What's wrong with it?

Welcome.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Lee Jong-a.

Okay.

I'm Oh Il-yong.

Nice to meet you,

Mr. Oh Il-yong.

It's nice to meet you too.

Awesome.

I'm holding your hand for real this time.

We shook hands before.

Do you remember?

No.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

What? Oh, I'm fine.

You've been on your feet too long. Let's go inside.

Mr. Jang.

Please find me out there.

So that Ji-hoon can pay for his sin

and move toward the right path.

Well…

Why are you asking me?

Because you're Hyeon-ji's dad.

At first,

I thought you came here where Hyeon-ji used to live

because you missed your daughter so much.

I pitied you.

But…

after a while,

watching Hyeon-ji's friends leave one by one,

I realized…

that it was your work.

Wook wasn't the only one doing those things.

You were working with him.

Then…

you knew already?

I had a complicated relationship with my own son,

so I couldn't talk to you about it.

I see.

I know I'm being shameless.

But after a long time has passed,

when Ji-hoon can accept the situation,

please go see him

and comfort him.

When he was a kid,

he was just as innocent and good as Hyeon-ji.

Okay.

I'll be sure to go see him.

SON AFTER INHERITANCE, BLOODY BOOK IN THE STUDY, EVIDENCE

JUNG JI-HOON

Enjoy your food.

Thanks.

So what brought you here so early in the morning?

What is this?

Were you out all night?

I'll get right to the point.

We may not actually be private detectives,

but there are those who come to us for help.

They can come directly to the police.

I came on their behalf because they can't.

Could you find this man for me?

Everything I know is written there.

JUNG YOUNG-JIN, WENT MISSING IN 2012

SON AFTER INHERITANCE? BLOODY BOOK IN THE STUDY, EVIDENCE?

What?

Is this…

all true?

Look for a bloody book in the study.

Jung Young-jin's credit card has been used until now.

So a 70-year-old man used his card at a hotel club?

Get the security camera footage.

Yes, sir.

-And Detective Do. -Yes, sir?

What happened with the search warrant on Jung Young-jin's house?

Detective Oh is at the court.

Who is the informant? It's so detailed.

This sounds as if the missing person himself told him.

You said you wanted to protect your son

even though he committed murder.

So what changed your mind?

I saw hope.

Hope?

Il-yong returned from the dead.

He was different from the start.

What is it?

Do you want to live again?

I'm not talking about myself.

I like living here in peace.

Not me.

My son, Ji-hoon.

Mr. Jung Ji-hoon?

Who are you?

This is a search and seizure.

-Let us in now. -What's going on? Hey!

-We're the police. -What's this?

What search and seizure?

My wife made me promise something

before she passed from her illness.

She asked me to take care of Ji-hoon

and raise him as a good person.

But he ended up

becoming a murderer

who killed his own father for money.

Before Wook and Mr. Jang came,

I taught the kids

that hope was something to dream about.

But now,

I teach them

that hope is something that comes true.

My only hope left

is that Ji-hoon…

will turn over a new leaf.

For him to acknowledge his sin, pay the price,

and become a better person than he was before.

Then…

I think

I can forgive.

How dare you go into my room without my permission?

Hey.

Let go of me! Hey!

Don't touch that.

Don't!

Damn it!

Look for a bloody book in the study.

The second shelf on the right end.

The book title is Scab.

Hey, Hye-ju.

Hi.

You're here too, Mr. Jung?

I ran out of cooking oil.

Hey, Ms. Ahn.

Have a cup of tea with us.

Yes, have a seat.

Shall I?

Here.

What is that book?

Something Mr. Jung gave me.

For the past few days,

I've been struggling

to understand what Rilke was talking about,

and I found something.

Let's hear it.

He wrote a lot of letters.

Listen to this.

"If there is something else I'd like to say,

it's this."

"Don't think that the person who is trying hard to comfort you

is comfortably living

a life free of pain."

Right?

SCAB

"This person's life

also has difficulties and sadness."

Hey.

Call the NFS.

"And is in fact

far behind you."

Is this what you were feeling all this time?

Mr. Jung.

Let go of everything.

Leave in peace.

Goodbye.

Goodness.

That's where he was.

Thank you, Detective Baek.

Let's see.

How is this here?

How is this possible?

Get ready, Detective Kim.

Noh Yoon-gu is here.

Noh Yoon-gu.

Let go of me.

Drop the bag.

Sir.

Where's Noh Yoon-gu?

Your ticket has been confirmed, Mr. Hong Jeong-gyun.

Enjoy your flight.

Thank you.

Noh Yoon-gu.

It's been a while.

Just how many men did you bring for me?

I'm…

going to turn myself in.

Turn yourself in?

But…

you still

have a lot of rehabilitation to go through.

And we still have to find out what had happened to you.

I still have some questions too.

Bo-ra, you're allowed to go out now.

You can meet your friends after your academy classes.

Okay.

Why do you look sad?

Aren't you excited?

There's a house that Mom picked out.

But because of that bad guy,

we've been postponing our moving day.

Come visit for a housewarming party.

Sure, of course.

Hyeon-ji.

Dad.

Did you see the letter I wrote to you?

Of course I did.

Then you must've met Ha-yun and Yeong-rim.

My teacher too.

Yes.

The headband you gave Ha-yun looked great on her.

You bought it for me at the amusement park.

You're right.

Ms. Yang is so pretty when she smiles.

Right.

Ha-yun already knew I took you away.

I told her

that you'll come to get me.

I promised them that you'd find them after you found me.

I kept that promise.

Ha-yun and Yeong-rim left while having fun on the swing,

and Ro-ha left when he came in first place in a race.

Really?

Dad, you're the best!

Hyeon-ji, you're the best.

Dad.

Thank you so much for keeping your promise.

So are my friends all gone from the village?

Well, now…

there are new friends

and younger kids as well.

I wish they'd stop coming.

Don't worry. I'll find them all.

Then I'm going to brag to my friends again.

Are you leaving already?

Yes.

I have to go now.

Thank you for being my daughter.

In your next life,

be my daughter again.

Next time…

Daddy will…

Next time…

Daddy will…

Next time…

Daddy will…

Hey, Mr. Jang!

You're looking spiffy today.

Are you going somewhere?

I was just…

Well…

I'm going to go see Hyeon-ji and my wife.

-Are you off to work? -Yes.

I'm going to discuss the missing children's campaign.

Oh, thank you.

Il-yong, what are you…

Are you going out?

He's going to the police station to turn himself in.

You should go after you recover a bit.

Many innocent people got hurt because of me.

I should have done this sooner.

I'm way past due.

Then we can't see you anymore?

We wouldn't know.

That's very nice of you.

You've made a very courageous decision.

Thank you.

Call us if you ever need anything there.

Okay.

Il-yong.

Can I give you a hug?

Goodbye.

Wook, you help him.

Then is Il-yong going to prison?

He has no priors and is cooperative with the investigation,

but I don't know.

Il-yong may look weak,

but he is dogged.

And his ability to survive is amazing.

He even came back from the dead.

Wrap this for me.

You didn't use drugs, turned yourself in,

and you're repentant?

Yes.

But working under Goliath still counts as organized crime.

I know.

Do you have any useful information?

I don't know if this will help.

But this is Goliath's, or Kim Pil-jung's ring.

He and I had matching rings,

and I secretly switched his with mine.

He said the evidence

was in this ring.

What's in there?

That, I don't know.

THE LATE JANG HYEON-JI

THE LATE OH YUN-GYEONG THE LATE JANG HYEON-JI

Honey.

I met Hyeon-ji in my dream.

She never came to see me for the past 17 years,

but she came and we talked up a storm.

You must be so happy up there with Hyeon-ji.

I wish I could be there too.

But Hyeon-ji gave me tons of homework to do.

So I can't go there

for a while.

Hyeon-ji.

I'm…

going to keep the promise I made to you.

Goodbye.

We'll organize a supporting group and let them join in the search

so this doesn't end up as a mere gesture.

It's all good.

But it's going to take a lot of money to do all this.

We also have a budget plan.

SO GOOD MISSING CHILDREN'S CAMPAIGN

I knew that this day would come.

What day?

These three people here

denied ever being a part of any searches.

Now they're going to do it openly.

This means that they plan to compete with us.

Come on.

SEARCHING FOR MISSING CHILDREN

You said you had something to tell me.

So why aren't you saying anything?

Are you here to say goodbye?

We should've said goodbyes.

Oh, my.

I guess you're really planning on not coming here anymore.

Not us.

It's about you, Captain Kang.

We found your body

in Lim Jong-yun's cold storage.

We held a funeral too.

What do you mean?

You found my body?

Yes.

The day we came here in suits

was your funeral.

We thought

you had already left.

So that was why you looked shocked as if you'd seen a ghost.

Then…

why am I still here?

Say something.

I did it.

I had no idea that she would be

in that cold storage.

If I had known…

I wouldn't have

dumped her leg that was caught in a net

into the sea.

I thought my husband

pushed her into the ocean.

So I wanted her to rest in peace

with her body intact.

If you found my body,

shouldn't I be moving on?

When others die,

it's all over.

But I can't even move on.

After they all leave,

I'd be here alone.

We're not going to leave you here alone.

What would that change?

After you two came,

Il-yong came back to life.

And all those kids

and even Mr. Jung moved on.

I thought a miracle would really happen.

That my hope would come true.

It was all false hope.

Like you said,

it's not over yet.

We'll find out what happened.

We'll never give up.

Yes.

No matter what happens, we'll never leave you alone.

Captain, don't cry.

DAY 10,942

SUPERMARKET

SO GOOD COFFEE

We found evidence from the USB drive inside the ring Il-yong gave us.

Noh Yoon-gu's smuggling routes, dates,

sales of organs, orders given, and such.

Kim Pil-jung must have kept it as insurance.

Is that going to help Il-yong?

It's definite evidence,

so it will help him.

That's great.

Captain,

they found a lot of evidence from Il-yong's ring.

They say he may be released early.

YANG OK-YEON KIM JIN-AH

OH IL-YONG

Other people's things are all here

except for Il-yong's.

Bo-ra, your home is so nice.

-You chose a good one. -Yes.

It's sunny too.

Thank you all for helping.

I'll treat you to black bean noodles.

What about sweet and sour pork, Mom?

I already ordered other dishes as well.

Then let's finish moving these and go eat.

What is it?

I want to talk to you.

About what?

You scare me whenever you say you want to talk to me.

Did I do something wrong again?

No.

I just wanted to thank you for all you did.

Come on.

Aren't we going to keep in touch?

I heard everything from Mom.

My real dad

ran away when he found out that Mom got pregnant

and has never called once since then.

I'm sorry for insisting that you were my dad

when you kept telling me that you weren't.

And…

thank you for taking care of me

like I was your real daughter.

Who says?

Bo-ra,

you are my daughter.

Go ask your teachers and your friends.

They'll tell you that I'm your dad.

-I'll explain everything to-- -Bo-ra.

I'm…

really glad that you're my daughter.

And I am

very proud to be your dad.

In this world,

there are also dads and daughters like us.

Mr. Jang, Jong-a,

you, and me.

When we four lived together,

we were a family.

Thanks, Dad.

You can't have a boyfriend until you graduate from high school.

Okay.

That dream again.

A merry-go-round?

Day 10,985.

It's winter again.

Mr. Jang and Wook

are still searching for the reason why

I'm still here.

It's strange

how you don't age or grow old here,

but time goes by

and seasons change.

Maybe because this village is a place

where some stay forever, and some leave so easily.

Sweetie.

Be careful with that.

That belongs to Uncle Yoon-ho who was here seven years ago.

Are you okay?

You're not hurt?

Some books fell.

Let's see.

This is Yoon-su's.

Captain.

We have to go.

You want to go when it's cold out?

Welcome.

Welcome.

What is this place?

It's a place where people live.

I cooked some really delicious sweet potatoes.

The radish water kimchi is also cooked just right.

If you eat them together…

Just thinking about it makes me drool.

I'm drooling too.

Anyway, every day here

begins with waiting

and ends with longing.

It's cold.

Come on in.

For anyone without exception.

Just like I've been doing for the past 30 years.

How can flowers bloom right now?

PLEASE HELP WITH THE SEARCH SO GOOD MISSING CHILDREN'S CAMPAIGN

-Thank you. -Hello.

Please take a good look.

-Thank you. -Your interest and help

-will be of big help to the families. -Thank you.

-Hello. -Here.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Here you go.

Please take a look at the child's face.

Please take a good look at the picture.

Thank you.

We're helping people find missing children.

We're looking for missing people.

Excuse me!

Over here!

Check out the guy in front of me!

What's going on?

EMERGENCY ESCORT MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

Hello.

This is Shin Jun-ho.

Are you feeling better now that you're paying for your sins?

Just because you're paying for your sins doesn't mean they go away.

But I do feel lighthearted.

Or maybe not.

It's just so-so.

I'm glad that you're alive.

I'm happy.

But I still have a lot of things I'd like to know.

Why…

you came to me.

Have you ever

gone for a ride on a merry-go-round?

Or maybe you've seen someone there.

No.

I've never been to an amusement park.

Is that so?

It's enough to see that you're doing okay.

Wook.

You can see this place

probably because of me, right?

You said that there are

no coincidences in this world.

Thank you for coming.

I'll be back.

Desperation…

always creates a miracle.

Noh Yoon-gu!

If we don't give up,

a world where bad acts get rightfully punished will come.

NAME: KIM SANG-YEON

KIM SANG-YEON

-Hello. -Hey.

What's she doing?

What's with her?

Who threw all these away?

The countless people whose lives are unaccounted for

and that the world has forgotten.

They desperately wish

for someone to find them.

And that they won't be forgotten.

Central Korea will be foggy with a visibility of less than 200m.

The fog will be thicker on roads and bridges

near lakes and rivers.

So please drive safely.

And again, they were there…

on the other side.

Welcome.
