Original subtitles

Why did you meet Mom…

on the day she died?

I know…

you were with her that day.

Did you think you could keep it a secret?

Do you want to die?

If you want to die so badly,

why don't you just die?

What's wrong?

Can't you do it?

What if I did?

What?

Does it matter now?

What did you talk about with Mom that day?

I have nothing to say.

You were the last person to see her before she died.

She must've acted differently.

Why can't you say anything?

I told you. I have nothing to say.

So you're not going to tell me.

Jang Ha-bin. Jang Ha-bin.

Where are you going this time?

I'll take care of it.

I'm going to figure out what happened to your mom.

So please just wait.

I thought you drove him home.

He just left without me.

- Found anything about Choi's whereabouts? - No.

I have no idea how he left that fishing spot.

What was his last location again?

It's near Deoksin-dong again.

What if we find him?

Pardon?

If we find him, will that change anything?

Well, we can't just let him go.

Let's say we catch him. Got any evidence of his crime?

We will catch him first and then we will investigate...

Choi Yeong-min, that bastard, will never make a confession.

Is it that hard for you to figure out what he's like?

Captain Jang, that's a bit harsh.

- We're doing our best to... - Detective Kim.

So what are you trying to say?

I'm saying we need to find the evidence first.

You think I don't know that?

We just can't find the evidence.

Ms. Kim, we have a search and seizure warrant for this property.

Please cooperate.

- Take the kids' phones first. - Yes, sir.

- Do you have the container? - Yes.

- Take everything. - Yes, sir.

Can we go in now?

No, please wait for now. We need to search the house first.

Stand by for now.

- Stop complaining. - Fine.

This is an invasion of privacy.

Hurry up.

Aren't there seven kids? Why's one missing?

Quiet.

There's one in here.

What are you doing in there?

Come out now!

Come out, you bastard!

If you don't come out, I'll break down the door.

Geez, I was using the bathroom.

Shut it and give me your phone.

Fine. Here.

- How dare you… Hello. - Hello.

You follow me, and you check the rooms.

Yes, sir.

Lift fingerprints off of everything

they could have touched, like the faucet and sink.

Yes, sir.

- Please put the written evidence in here. - Okay.

- Shall we start from here? - Sure.

Take all the documentary evidence.

Photos, scribbles, letters and even trash. Everything they left.

If we put a screwdriver here and hit it with a hammer, we can open it.

What do you think?

Hold this.

It opened.

- Good job. - No problem.

It's disassembled. Yes.

- Good job. - No problem.

What's this?

It looks like he had it for a while.

This is surprising.

I didn't think Choi Yeong-min was the kind of person

who could take care of or share emotions with something.

Me neither.

The bloodstain suggests

that he probably locked the kids up here.

I understand they're kids with nowhere to go, but I still don't get it.

Maybe there's another reason why the kids can't leave the gang.

I want you two to go back to the office and check the records.

Yes, sir.

I want to inspect the scene further.

We don't have time.

Please just do as I say.

Yes, sir.

Shall we go?

Motorcycle up front, pull over immediately.

Motorcycle up front, pull over immediately.

Motorcycle up front, pull over immediately.

We have received a report of a suspected drunk-driving motorcyclist.

Take off your helmet.

Take off your helmet.

We'll check your alcohol level. Please take off your helmet.

Do you know me?

Why do you keep following me?

Well, what's your relationship with Choi Yeong-min?

If you want my answer, answer my question first.

I'm looking for someone.

The person who killed my daughter.

Song Min-a.

You know Min-a, don't you?

She didn't have a dad. She was an orphan.

I don't care if you believe me.

I don't want to explain why I wasn't a good father.

How do you know Choi Yeong-min?

And what's your dad's deal with him?

What do you mean?

Your dad released that jerk behind the other cops' backs.

Why are you chasing Choi Yeong-min

and why does your dad keep letting him go?

What on earth is your deal?

Are you serious?

Thanks for the bathroom.

Can I have a glass of water?

Sure.

It looks like you like cooking.

I just cook for my kid.

Here.

Do you bring food to the basement too?

Pardon?

I saw a lot of side dishes in the basement.

There were no kitchen appliances there…

so I don't think the kids made them themselves.

We live in the same house,

so I help them sometimes.

But you told me you haven't met them,

including Lee Su-hyeon.

Yeong-min reached out to you, right?

Why would he reach out to me?

Thanks for the water.

CHOI YEONG-MIN

Fucking bitch.

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Your call has been forwarded to their voicemail.

Call charges will apply after the beep.

KO SE-HO

I don't think we're here to be interrogated.

I think so too. No one's coming in or asking us anything.

What if we...

Shut it, you bitches.

I'm having a headache here.

I'm just worried.

Do you think we'll be all right?

- A painkiller. A strong one. - Painkiller?

Take one pill every six hours.

Here's your change.

Who are you? Do you know me?

Listen. The cops ransacked your house and took all the kids.

I'm saying you're in a worse situation

than you think.

Why are you telling me that?

Shut it and answer me if you don't want more trouble.

Song Min-a…

Who killed her?

Was it you?

It wasn't me.

Do you know who killed her?

You saw her that day

at the mountain.

It's Jang Ha-bin.

That bitch killed Song Min-a.

JI-SU

JI-SU

Why did you meet Mom…

on the day she died?

I know you were with her that day.

It was my mistake.

It was a mistake!

How may I help you?

Hello. I…

Officer Lee?

Do you work here?

Yes, I was just transferred here.

I'm in the Women and Juvenile Affairs Division here.

I had no idea.

What brings you here today?

I need to talk to Captain Jang Tae-su. Did he go somewhere?

Yes. I'm not sure when he'll be back.

May I ask what it's about?

I just have something to ask him.

It's so nice to see you here.

I'll let you know when he comes back.

That'd be great. Thanks.

What?

Do you know Officer Gu?

- Officer? - Yes.

He became a police officer?

How do you know him?

Well… I just know him.

Let's keep in touch and grab coffee soon.

Okay.

Bye.

Eun-jin.

Are you feeling better?

I looked through Eun-jin's diary.

It looks like she was harassed by Choi

for cooperating with us during the last interrogation.

I should've been more careful.

Anything else?

Eun-jin…

It seems like she has been repeatedly abused by his stepfather.

And her mother turned a blind eye to it, knowing everything.

Eun-jin must have been hurt deeply.

The kids are still in the same room, right?

Do you know where Choi Yeong-min is right now?

I don't.

Or anyone who might know?

What's the relationship between him and the owner of the house?

I know she frequents the basement.

She has nothing to do with Yeong-min.

She takes care of us,

and that's because she's a nice person.

We'll take a short break.

Pause the recording.

I think you should go back home.

What? Why?

Your family has reported you missing.

According to the rules, once I report, you'll be sent home immediately.

What's wrong? Do you not want to go home?

Can you please turn a blind eye just this once?

Well, there must be a reason why you ran away from home.

And it'll repeat once you're back home.

Please don't tell my family about me.

Please.

We'll continue the interrogation.

What was the relationship between Choi and the owner of the house?

Eun-jin.

I often

saw them together.

Are they dating?

It's not like that.

You sound sure about it.

How do you know?

She's dating someone else.

And Yeong-min flipped out when he found out about it.

Is it this man?

I really don't want to get Ms. Kim in trouble.

Right now, you should worry more about yourself.

Look.

This is the man, right?

Yes, it's him.

Is this why you asked me about her diary?

So you could find her soft spot and blackmail her?

Nobody has reported her missing.

So you lied.

So what?

Did it harm anyone?

You used her wounds and pressured her

with something that isn't even true.

Captain, I didn't know you were

this kind of person.

What did you think you knew about me?

DON'T SKIP YOUR MEALS, CAPTAIN GU DAE-HONG

She just left to pick up her kid.

I'll go look around this area.

I'll wait here then.

- Thanks. - Sure.

I'll come with you.

Why won't you answer it?

This isn't your first time stealing, right?

You didn't hesitate.

Did you see your mom?

She went to pick you up.

Are you going to tell my mom about this?

Of course I am.

I will never do it again.

Could you please not tell my mom about this?

Well…

Have you…

seen this man?

Have you seen your mom and this man...

Officer Lee. Excuse me for a second.

Do-yun, come here.

- Officer Gu. - It's okay.

You can't do this without his guardian's consent.

It's quite late and the house seems empty right now,

so why don't you come apologize to them tomorrow?

- Okay. - Get home safely.

It's okay.

Good night.

What was that?

We're here to work.

Which is to investigate Seong-hui, not a scared child.

From now on, let's be careful not to cross the line at work.

Why do you keep getting emotional?

Some things are more important than investigations.

- Are you seriously saying that as a cop? - Cops are humans too.

And so are those who get investigated.

I just want us to be…

more human.

Be a good cop if you want.

I'll be a bad cop.

Working with you is…

seriously exhausting.

I heard the cops ransacked the house.

Tell me…

why do people think I'm a murderer?

Just stay low for now, and the cops...

Damn it.

Enough with the bullshit.

I'll ask you one last time.

So be honest with me.

Who killed Lee Su-hyeon?

You said you saw that lady killing her.

It turned out she didn't.

She just buried the body, thinking her daughter had killed her.

It's Park Jun-tae, isn't it?

That bastard killed her.

That day, the cops didn't come to the fishing spot to get me.

They couldn't have tracked me down that fast.

The police are investigating Park Jun-tae now, right?

I don't know.

You fucking bitch!

You…

Did you enjoy using me to cover for that bastard?

I was being called and chased by the police, completely clueless.

I was even planning to flee with you,

and meanwhile, you two were…

It must've been hilarious watching me.

Yeong-min…

I can't go down alone like this.

I can't give that to you.

Where's Park Jun-tae, that son of a bitch?

Can I have a second?

Sure.

Let's go inside.

I don't think I can do this today. Something came up.

It won't take long. Why don't you leave after this?

This is voluntary.

You can't force me to do it.

I'm going to head out then.

If you leave like this,

it'll make you seem more suspicious. You know that, right?

Yes, I do.

Wait.

It won't take long. Can't you stay just for a bit?

Sir!

You said you knew Officer Gu, right?

Do-yun.

No matter how hungry you get, promise me you won't do it again.

You know what you did was bad, right?

Yes.

Your mom is running late.

- Don't wait for her and go to bed. - Excuse me, sir.

Yes?

Can we eat this together?

That sounds great.

I've seen him a few times while I was investigating his brother.

What happened?

His brother was under investigation for a rape case,

and he took his own life.

The detective on that case was notoriously tenacious.

He kept following him around for the investigation,

which led to rumors at his workplace and eventually resulted in his divorce.

He must've felt wronged.

After his death, the real culprit was caught.

Why did they push him so hard in the investigation?

Well…

At first, Officer Gu gave us an alibi for his brother.

Then later, he confessed that he wasn't with him.

And we found it suspicious.

Because he gave us a false alibi at first,

we pushed him extra hard.

Later, Officer Gu came to our office

and cried his eyes out.

It even made me tear up.

After all, his brother was innocent.

He must have regretted

not lying for him.

We've got so many different things. Which one do you want?

- This one. - This one?

Here.

Have some milk too.

What did you get?

It's Sham Sham Dragon.

Hang on.

Do you want this?

Wow, this is my favorite character.

Do you like him too?

Yes.

My nephew used to love it too when he was your age.

He's so lucky to have an uncle like you.

I hope he thinks so.

The uncle living in the basement is a really bad man.

He hit my mom and the girls.

Do-yun, I will find him and teach him a lesson.

By the way…

Why did you ask me about that man?

Which man?

Mr. Park Jun-tae, the teacher?

Is he a bad man too?

Seong-hui!

- Seong-hui, are you okay? - Jun-tae…

You didn't get hurt, right?

What happened?

Stop putting on a show.

You murderer.

I'm not here to hear your nonsense.

Leave Seong-hui alone.

So you're going to play dumb?

I guess I can tell the police everything then.

Suit yourself.

I'm not sure if they'll believe you.

You son of a bitch.

Do you think I can't do it?

Go ahead.

Go ahead and tell them.

Do you even have any evidence?

Will the police believe a thug like you…

or me?

Just run away and lay low for the rest of your life.

You son of a bitch!

Goddamn it.

- This fucking… - Yeong-min! Stop!

Please.

Please don't do this.

Jun-tae.

Oh, my gosh. What do I do?

Jun-tae, are you okay?

Fuck.

JI-SU: WHY DID YOU RELEASE CHOI YEONG-MIN?

Where are you?

Did you meet Choi Yeong-min?

Let's meet. I'll tell you everything.

Where are you now?

We went to an amusement park together.

And…

Anyway, he seemed like a good person.

Mom laughs a lot when she's with him.

I think one of the girls in the basement likes him too.

Did Su-hyeon say that?

No.

Min-a said that.

So Min-a and Mr. Park knew each other.

Do you remember Park Jun-tae visiting the house that day?

On May 11th.

Yes.

It's the day Song Min-a died.

This is the car Song Min-a rented.

Park Jun-tae met Song Min-a that day, right?

How did you come here? What about the interview?

Who is it?

The police?

Nobody. Don't worry about it.

I'll take a taxi. There are cops around the house.

- I'll drop you off near the house. - We should be careful.

I'll call you when I get home.

Ha-bin.

Ha-bin!

Ha-bin, wake up.

Ha-bin.

Ha-bin.

Ha-bin.

Honey.

Honey.

What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?

What if…

you were right?

What?

What if Ha-jun was…

really…

killed by Ha-bin?

Is that why you're doing this?

Have you always had that thought while raising Ha-bin?

I told you back then. It was my mistake.

It was a mistake!

You're not in your right mind now.

I'll take Ha-bin.

Do you really want to die?

I can't take this anymore.

If you want to die so badly,

die alone.

What's wrong?

Can't you do it?

Ha-bin doesn't need you anymore.

She has me.

Are you sure?

Do you think Ha-bin will be fine if you're gone?

Without you, Ha-bin will be all alone.

She'll be an orphan.

Are you okay with that?

Do you think…

Ha-bin will rely on me?

To her, I'm just a stranger.

I must have lost my mind.

I must have completely lost my mind.

Please don't tell Ha-bin…

about what happened today.

I won't tell her.

Why aren't you saying anything?

What are you hiding from me?

Why did you release Choi Yeong-min?

What's wrong?

Does Choi Yeong-min have something on you?

If I tell you, will you stop?

Will you just stay still?

Answer me.

Lee Su-hyeon…

was killed by your mom.

That's why I released Choi Yeong-min.

I wanted to cover it up.

You're lying.

Mom would never do that.

Tell me the truth.

It's the truth.

Did she really kill her?

Yes.

Your mom killed Lee Su-hyeon.

So stop all this now.

About the day Mom died…

Why did you hide it from me?

If you want to convince me, tell me everything.

Every single thing.

If I had said I met her before she died…

I would have been called in for an interrogation and such, obviously.

I was about to get a promotion then.

To be honest, I didn't want her to get in the way of it.

That's why I hid it.

Are you happy now?

He's in that building.

Why are you helping me?

You helped me at the mountain too.

You don't know me.

I do.

You and I have…

the same goal.

Is this the police?

I have an urgent tip to report,

but I don't know the detective's number.

It's Jang Tae-su.

It's me.

Let's meet. I'll tell you everything I know.

What are you trying to pull now?

I'm innocent. I didn't kill her.

I can serve a few years for extortion or whatever.

Just make sure my money is safe.

Where are you right now?

Where is Choi Yeong-min right now?

How would I know?

You can be charged with perjury, you know.

Think carefully.

It's only a matter of time until we catch him.

Do you think he'll protect you then?

I just…

I just did as he said.

All I did was put the painkiller there.

Where?

Where did he tell you to put it?

Did my mom really kill Lee Su-hyeon?

You…

What do you think you're doing?

Untie me, you fucking…

Did my mom really kill her?

You crazy bitch.

Fuck! All right!

No!

No, she didn't!

No.

Your mom didn't fucking kill her!

Then who was it?

Why did she bury the body?

Do you really want to know?

Tell me, or I'll kill you.

It's because of you.

You were the reason.

Your mom thought you killed her and that's why she buried the body.

Why? Is it so hard to believe?

Then why don't you go ask your dad?

You know what?

Look at yourself now.

Who wouldn't suspect you?

What are you talking about?

I told your daughter everything.

She was actually going to kill me...

Where are you right now?

You…

What are you doing here?

You should leave.

Please…

Please stop now.

Just don't do anything.

Snap out of it.

Look at me.

I told you. You didn't do anything.

Parents know their children.

You…

didn't do it.

That doesn't change anything.

No.

Nothing happened, and you don't know anything.

Dad.

Don't worry. I have plans.

Please don't tell Ha-bin…

about what happened today.

I won't tell her.

Please don't tell her.

Please.

Always move in pairs in case something comes up.

- Got it? - Yes, sir.

Team Three, check the entrance. Team Two, follow me.

- Stay alert. - Yes, sir.

Listen.

He's a sly one, so move quietly.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

We will catch him tonight.

- Turn down the radio volume. - Yes, sir.

- Let's check here first. This way. - Yes, sir.

- Search everywhere. - Yes, sir.

Was someone else there?

Are you pretending to trust me

to get me to confess?

So about that necklace found at the scene…

It looks like the culprit could be a woman.

We need to investigate Jang Ha-bin.

Mom. Where have you been?

Ms. Kim, you are under arrest on suspicion of the murder of Choi.

- It's a misunderstanding. - Detective Cho and Kim…

Park Jun-tae turned himself in?

He even brought a knife, saying that he killed him.

I saw Ha-bin there.
