MISSING PERSON JUNG MI-SUK
If you hadn't left any witnesses, this wouldn't have happened.
Okay, I made a mistake.
So what do you expect me to do?
You should take responsibility for it.
After all, that's our rule.
What do you want me to do?
Go straight in that direction, and you'll find a cliff.
Take care of her there.
Then turn yourself in.
Tell them she fell off the cliff while running away.
If you hire the right lawyers, you'll be out in no time.
You don't have a choice.
Let's make Hyeon-su do it.
What?
You said he obeys you no matter what.
Had I wanted to kill you,
you would've been dead right here.
Don't you dare utter his name ever again.
Got that?
Just have faith in me and do as I say.
If you do, you'll be able to stay happy for a very long time.
Understood?
Now, do your job.
It looks like you and the culprit know each other.
Do you have any idea who it is?
Ms. Gong?
Yes.
I do.
There's only one person.
And who's that?
Do Hyeon-su.
Do Hyeon-su?
IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, I'LL TELL THE MADAM AND DIRECTOR
Ms. Gong?
What we did
was out of good intentions.
We pitied him for being a wanderer,
and it felt like the son we had lost was back once again.
At that time, my husband and I
needed someone to dote on.
Do Hyeon-su has
been living as my son
for the past 15 years.
As Baek Hee-seong.
From this moment on…
I won't trust anyone.
What are you planning to do?
Raise your hands slowly.
Do you understand me?
Honey, don't do this.
You won't get anything out of this.
Do you really think…
you can convince me right now?
Move to the monitor.
Pull out all the video cables.
There are four of them.
Give me three days.
No, one day will do.
I promise to return.
How dare you hold a knife to my throat?
I'm going to flee right now.
That was the most effective way to make it look like you're not helping me.
How dare you hold a knife to my throat?
It's just unsharpened silver.
It's just something you use to open envelopes.
How should I know whether it's sharpened or not?
What matters is that you just threatened to hurt me.
You're right.
We've only known each other for a mere 14 years.
It's natural that you don't understand anything that I do. Right?
I thought at least you…
would know my intentions right away.
Are you getting mad at me?
I obviously have no right to do that
since I'm an idiot who left his fingerprints at a crime scene
his wife is investigating!
This isn't the time to get emotional.
Am I?
You think I'm being emotional?
You're wrong.
I'm insanely rational right now.
I'm sorry.
Jung Mi-suk is still alive.
What?
Yeom Sang-cheol has her.
What the hell are you talking about?
The police are on their way. We have no time.
I can't explain in detail.
Ji-won.
I'll catch the real killer myself…
and make sure I return.
I won't let you go.
WHERE THE RISING STAR STAYS
The CCTV camera. Check that.
Play that once again.
Enlarge cam one.
The closet.
What about it?
He couldn't have gotten far.
- Make an emergency call. - Yes, sir.
This is an emergency. 67 Sanseo-ro, Mapo-gu.
A murder suspect on the run holding his wife hostage.
The suspect, a male in his 30s. The hostage, a female in her 30s.
Please. It's not too late.
Let's go outside.
If I get arrested right now, Jung Mi-suk will die.
Find where they're going first.
- You two, go to the control center. - Yes, sir.
Make sure no one goes in there until the forensics team comes.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
What are you talking about?
Jun Mi-suk is alive? And she'll die?
Uncuff me first.
No, explain first.
Give me one day.
I will come back. I promise.
What can you do in a single day?
I'm going to make everything right.
For me, Jung Mi-suk,
and the killer.
We'll go back to where we belong.
Ji-won, you need to trust me.
Let me come with you.
What?
I'll trust you as you asked me to.
In cuffs?
This is the most I can do for you.
All right, then. Let's go.
Wait.
What's wrong?
Take some cash.
Wait.
What was with that space in the closet?
Tell me.
What else don't I know?
Uncuff me first. It's difficult for us to move.
I know you'll run without me if I do.
Do you really have no trust in me?
It's not that. It's just that I know you too well.
Then can you at least take this off?
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
Do you think this makes sense?
You were reinvestigating the Yeonju Serial Murder Case
and had no idea that Do Hyeon-su was right in front of you?
And you call yourselves cops?
We're extremely humiliated!
Even the Cold Case Team failed to find him for 20 years.
So how could we find him?
We're cops, not some shamans.
He's been living as someone else for 15 years.
Even so!
Detective Cha is in danger right now.
Our top priority is to save her.
Are you sure
that she wasn't aware of this at all?
Is that even a question?
She's been taken hostage.
She found out about his real identity,
so he went batshit crazy.
Anyway, U-cheol, just know that your team will be inspected later on.
Yes, sir.
You must catch Do Hyeon-su at all costs.
Yes, sir. Don't get me started. It's a disaster.
U-cheol.
Detective Cha really has nothing to do with this, right?
Even when Do Hyeon-su tipped us off about Yeom Sang-cheol,
she had no clue, right?
Jae-seop, let go of her. What are you doing?
You knew everything.
And all this time…
you've been manipulating us.
You have…
deceived us.
Yes, I am positive. She knew nothing.
First, we need to find out where he is.
Team One and Two, check the CCTV cameras, witnesses, and dashcams.
Be thorough and find out where he went.
Team Three, check his call logs, transactions, and hospital records
in real time.
Team Four and Five, handle people around Do Hyeon-su.
But the most important fact is that our fellow detective is held hostage.
Nothing is more important
than her safety. Understood?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Get moving.
Your palms will be full of heat rashes.
Pardon?
My girlfriend just hates being apart from me.
I feel really anxious when we're apart.
Babe.
Let's keep such sensitive information to ourselves.
No!
Why are you doing this? Don't.
- Shut up. - Why are you doing this?
- Mr. Yeom! - Shut up!
Why are you doing this to me?
Tell me the truth, okay?
Okay.
What did you tell Do Hyeon-su…
No, the guy you spoke on the phone?
What?
He asked me who I was.
So?
I said I was Jung Mi-suk. That's all.
Did I make a mistake?
Did you tell him where you were?
No, I didn't.
I don't even know where I am.
I've been here before.
Do you remember it?
Those people.
Those people. They locked me up in here.
Open this.
Get me out of here!
Sir, let me out of here.
Please open this door.
Were you lying when you offered…
to find my family?
No. Don't leave.
No! Don't go! No, don't go!
You did a fantastic job.
What
will happen to us now?
Whether it be a car accident or bodily harm,
the statute of limitations has already expired.
When
the dust settles,
I'll just wake up like a miracle.
Do you think
things will go as planned?
I'm sure of it.
No matter how much Do Hyeon-su claims his innocence,
it's true that he's wanted for murder.
And he also stole someone else's identity.
He's already guilty.
This is
really the end, right?
You just need to give your statement to the police.
Try to sound sincere as we practiced.
Who's calling?
INCOMING CALL
The scraps left
from the main course.
I thought we were through.
We still got a bill to settle.
But I already took care of Do Hyeon-su.
How much will you pay for Jung Mi-suk?
Jung Mi-suk?
She's with me.
Yes, I'm on my way.
By the way, how did…
they look?
Right.
She completely
slipped my mind.
Bring 500 million won by midnight.
This will be an exchange, right?
Give me a call when you have the money.
Okay.
I'll do my best to come up with it.
This way, sir.
Hey.
There's always someone who monitors the CCTVs.
Act natural.
At the entrance, reception, elevator, and hallway…
While being caught on four cameras, you glanced around every time
as if you were being chased.
And what about you?
You seem like you've run a simulation of this situation numerous times.
What's wrong?
This is it.
You shouldn't mind being a bit uncomfortable.
That man roaming around your house could be a serial killer.
I know this is uncomfortable, but just bear with me, all right?
Come on in.
You can use this room.
Let me change the bed sheet and the blanket right away.
No, I can sleep on the sofa. I'll sleep there.
You can lock the door this way.
I know I bother you.
I can see it in your face that you're uncomfortable because of me.
No, it's just that…
I shouldn't be doing this to you.
Doing what to me?
I hurt you all the time, then use you when I need help.
That's what I'm doing.
Why am I always such a burden to those around me?
Look.
You're not a burden to me.
One minute.
- Yes, Ms. Kang. - Did you know or not?
- About? - Do Hyeon-su!
Did you really have no idea?
I'm in front of the killer Do Hyeon-su's workshop.
Baek, the suspect in the Makmun-dong murder case,
has been revealed to be Do Hyeon-su,
a wanted criminal of 18 years for killing the Gagyeong-ri village head in 2002.
It has been confirmed that Do Hyeon-su
has been living as Baek since 2005.
He also married Detective Cha
as part of a meticulous plan to change his identity thoroughly.
The police are currently investigating
how he was able to steal someone else's identity.
Do Hyeon-su has been living a fake life as a fugitive for 18 years.
Ironically, that life has come to an end due to another murder of his.
Do Hyeon-su has currently taken his wife hostage and fled
after the police found out about his crime.
Let's hear your plan.
What kind of fugitive tells a cop his plans?
What?
I've unwillingly found out that it's no use trying to reason with a person
who's already suspecting me.
I'm truly sorry that things turned out this way because of me.
No. I'm not.
I'm not sorry one bit.
Because even I don't know why I have to go through this.
Why do you keep taking it out on me?
How do you think I feel right now?
How do you think I felt when your fingerprints were found
on the tape used to tie the victim?
I know my fingerprints aren't in the database.
You seemed suspicious.
So I checked.
Was that so wrong of me?
Anyone in my shoes would've done the same.
But you're not just anyone.
At least to me.
I was really completely fine…
no matter how much people hated me and suspected me for no reason.
I was fine.
But…
But
now that it's you…
Now that you're suspecting me…
it's unbearable.
Do you think I know everything?
How could you expect me to trust you blindly when I know nothing?
How could you expect me
to read your thoughts and your heart?
I'm not
capable of doing that.
As far as I know, the police station is the safest place,
so I was only focused on taking you there.
So why are you mad at me?
Why?
How would I know if you didn't tell me?
You should've explained it to me.
Look at this.
What have we gotten ourselves into?
Ji-won.
I didn't kill Park Sun-yeong.
I…
didn't kill her.
I only found out
when the police visited our house regarding Park Gyeong-chun.
You had no idea until then?
If I did,
do you think I would've given him my precious son's identity?
Never in my wildest dreams did I think things would turn out this way.
This is exactly why I'm asking you to prevent our admirable Director Baek
from suffering because of all this.
Goodness.
Sir.
I don't want to seem like I'm soliciting.
Let me pour you one.
I wanted
to speak with you today because
I'm extremely concerned about Detective Cha Ji-won.
I've been curious about the investigation.
I just couldn't sit and watch.
THE HANJOOGAN
Kim Moo-jin!
Are you out of your mind?
I know you were focused on getting the exclusive,
but how could you harbor a wanted killer
and get information from him for your article?
We shared a common goal of catching the accomplice
in the Yeonju Serial Murder Case.
Do Hyeon-su took his own wife hostage in order to run away.
Ms. Kang.
There's something to this case.
Last night, Do Hyeon-su got a call from someone and went to Makmun-dong.
And the voice was--
Do you know that Park Sun-yeong's hair was found in his trunk?
What?
Snap out of it. He's a killer.
Who are you trying to defend?
The guy who called me out to Makmun-dong last night
has framed me.
I'm sure he's the accomplice we've been looking for.
There was a car with a dashcam parked in front of the phone booth,
so I called the owner.
The number should be on my phone.
The accomplice is very thorough.
Do you think he just let the dashcam catch him?
I'm sure he covered his face.
Why are you so certain that the woman who picked up
Yeom Sang-cheol's phone was Jung Mi-suk?
Because she said so herself.
And it didn't sound like a lie.
However,
I wasn't sure if I could convince the police.
And
I wasn't sure if they'd prove my innocence either.
That's why I refused to be arrested.
Because they'd probably want to investigate me first.
And meanwhile,
Yeom Sang-cheol would sell Jung Mi-suk to him.
But how does running away so aimlessly help?
By running,
I'm sending Yeom Sang-cheol a message.
A message?
A message that I'm no longer working with the police.
Why would you want to send such a message to him?
Because I will…
join hands with him.
Baek, the suspect in the Makmun-dong murder case,
has been revealed to be Do Hyeon-su,
a wanted criminal of 18 years for killing the Gagyeong-ri village head
- in 2002. - It's 33,000 won.
It has been confirmed that Do Hyeon-su
has been living as Baek since 2005.
He also married Detective Cha
as part of a meticulous plan to change his identity thoroughly.
The police are currently investigating
how he was able to steal someone else's identity.
But I already took care of Do Hyeon-su.
What a freak.
What is this?
- Who is this? - I'm not sure if you're aware of this.
But I'm in quite a pickle right now.
Is this Do Hyeon-su?
How dare you frame me?
Life's full of surprises, isn't it?
As a fugitive, you've been brown-nosing the police.
But now, you and I are in the same boat.
How the hell did you do it?
How were you able to frame me?
You're mistaken. It wasn't me. It was all his doing.
Help me meet with him.
My life motto is
to never stand surety or arrange any meetings for anyone.
All I want is him.
And I know all you want is the money.
So?
Let's join hands.
Why should I?
Is Jung Mi-suk doing well?
That's not your concern.
I'm sure
you still have her. You haven't handed her over to him.
Aren't I right?
Why do you think so?
Because had you met him, you would've been killed already.
Do you really think he'll let you live?
When he knows you'll blackmail him for the rest of his life?
I'm not a fool who can be deceived that easily.
But I deceived you.
And that bastard deceived me.
You'll get your money, I'll get him,
and Jung Mi-suk will be spared.
What do you say?
I have to think about it.
He's too dangerous. I don't want him as an enemy.
Don't you have any other tempting offers for me?
NEGOTIATION X
I won't negotiate with you.
Hello? Hey.
That impudent asshole hung up on me.
That son of a bitch.
He should've been begging on his knees.
If the call drags on, it'll put you at a disadvantage
since you don't have much choice.
But he said everything we wanted to hear.
Do you think he'll agree to join hands with me?
Seeing how he wanted to keep speaking to you,
I'd say he's half-convinced.
Here's food.
Have it if you want.
Will it be Do Hyeon-su
or Baek Hee-seong?
This side is Do Hyeon-su.
This side is Baek Hee-seong.
Can you just kill me now…
instead of handing me over to that yellow-haired guy?
Yellow-haired guy?
Go straight in that direction, and you'll find a cliff.
Take care of her there.
He even killed his partner…
from behind.
He grabbed a rock…
and smashed his head.
Then Do Min-seok didn't commit suicide?
You're mistaken. It wasn't me. It was all his doing.
Help me meet with him.
My life motto is…
It was all his doing.
Hello, this is room 908. We're out of towels.
Could you bring some up?
- Okay. - Thank you.
Everything has been recorded.
It's only circumstantial evidence, but it'll prove your innocence.
We just need to figure out how to lure him.
For Yeom Sang-cheol to trust you completely,
I need to stay as your hostage.
If you tell him that I'll be kept as your hostage
until he leaves safely with the money,
he'll never turn it down.
I love you.
But why do you sound so sad?
Now, go back to your place.
Go back to where you belong.
What do you mean?
It's a good idea
for you to continue being my hostage.
What?
Are you serious?
Uncuff me! Let me free right now!
Tell them I dragged you here against your will.
You deceived me again.
I need to join hands with an obnoxious guy like him.
I refuse to pull you into this, no matter what.
I don't mind.
You're going to give your all to reveal the truth…
as a detective.
So…
Don't even think about tailing me.
If you leave now like this, I will never see you again.
I really won't.
So don't leave.
Don't leave me behind.
I'll be back.
We will meet again soon,
so don't talk like this is our last goodbye.
Instead, wish me luck.
Stay safe, okay?
Have you made up your mind? Whom will you side with?
Let's make this clear. It's you who's siding with me.
Where should we meet?
Hae-su, you can't just leave like this.
You told me to keep my distance from Hyeon-su. How can I do that?
All the evidence says that he's Park Sun-yeong's killer.
I don't want people to suspect you for defending him.
I'm doing this for you.
He received a call from the accomplice. It means he's been framed.
There's no proof that he was the accomplice.
And it's only Hyeon-su who thinks that the voice sounds similar.
He had a motive for murder, and now, there's even proof.
Of course, we trust him.
But there's no way we can convince other people.
Why…
do you always become a coward when I need you the most?
What?
Right, the car keys.
Mr. Kim Moo-jin?
Yes?
You're guilty of harboring Do Hyeon-su.
Please come with us.
I told you, I'm really fine.
Still, you should go to the hospital.
Nothing happened.
He didn't even touch a hair.
You may be a detective, but before that, you're a kidnap victim.
So you should get a checkup at the hospital.
- If you wait there-- - I'm not a victim.
Of course, you are. You were tied up.
That's
sensitive information about this investigation,
so I can't disclose the details.
Detective Cha.
Captain.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
But we need to check the Park Sun-yeong case again from the start.
The person
who killed Park Sun-yeong is Do Min-seok's accomplice.
Hey, you…
I'm sorry for causing you concern, sir.
You'll get your money, I'll get him,
and Jung Mi-suk will be spared.
What do you say?
I have to think about it.
He's too dangerous. I don't want him as an enemy.
Don't you have any other tempting offers for me?
I won't negotiate with you.
That is all.
Are you certain that this Jung Mi-suk
is the one we know?
Circumstantially, she must be.
It explains why we haven't been able to find her body.
Detective Cha's return needs to be kept secret.
Why?
If the press becomes interested in her,
this recording might get leaked.
If the accomplice finds out, things will go awry.
Have you all forgotten that she's also a subject of the investigation?
Despite that, you'll make a move based on what she said?
If we suffer a bigger loss by not trusting her, then we should
trust her.
He's the accomplice in the serial murder case.
We must use this opportunity to catch him.
Yes, that would be great.
If we can catch him, it'll be best for all of us.
Are you positive you can identify him?
Yes, I am.
We can, sir.
We will at all costs.
Yoon, take Team Three and go about this discreetly.
Yes, sir.
Why are you giving in to Yeom Sang-cheol's demands?
I have to give him what he wants
to make him leave this country.
Is that all?
Then what else?
He will be demanding more money.
CHIEF KANG
Hello, Chief Kang.
Are you saying Do Hyeon-su has been caught?
I see.
Detective Cha's return should be kept secret.
Please be careful.
Of course.
Thank you for calling.
What was that about?
They found Cha Ji-won locked up in a motel.
Do Hyeon-su wasn't there.
How is she?
She's completely fine. She wasn't injured one bit.
But most importantly,
she claims that Do Hyeon-su had nothing to do with Park Sun-yeong's death.
Why so?
On what grounds?
I don't know the details regarding the investigation.
Could she have discovered something?
Who are you?
Do Hyeon-su.
You're under arrest for the murder of Park Sun-yeong.
I knew it. Staking out Do Hae-su's house surely paid off.
Don't let him run away! He's the accomplice!
What's going on? This isn't Do Hyeon-su?
Hello.
Wait. If you have nothing to do with Do Hyeon-su's escape…
Do you see the guy who's reading a book behind me?
I think you're mistaken.
We'll listen to the victim's statement first.
Pardon?
We found your phone in the workshop.
Captain.
You're very disappointed in me, aren't you?
I have no excuse.
It's true that I deceived everyone on the team.
I haven't had time to feel disappointed.
I've been too worried about you.
This way.
Ji-won.
Are you hurt? Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm not hurt.
Hey, Ji-won.
I almost got a heart attack because of you. You know that?
Do you know how worried I was?
How did you escape? Where's Do Hyeon-su now?
Well…
Ms. Do?
What happened?
Why did you go to Ms. Do's house?
To catch Do Hyeon-su, of course.
Isn't that why you were nearby as well?
You invaded her privacy.
- You also stalked her. - I stalked her?
Ask him where he was at 2:30 a.m. last night.
Where were you at 2:30 a.m. last night?
Why is that important?
I was with my colleagues from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. last night.
At 2:30 a.m., the accomplice called
my husband from a payphone in Makmun-dong.
That's why he went to Makmun-dong and…
Mom!
Eun-ha.
Why are you here? Where's Grandma?
I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
Your mother is hospitalized right now.
What?
Mom.
Where's Dad?
Where is he?
Mom, are you all right?
I'm at the police station.
I'm okay.
I really am.
What about you?
No, not me. Are you okay?
By the way, who are you?
Me?
Well… I'm…
Eun-Ha can't go to kindergarten at the moment,
so someone needs to look after her all day.
And you're the only one I can trust right now.
- For a few days-- - I have a lot of time on my hands.
So,
I'll take good care of her. I'll do my best.
Eun-ha.
She's going to teach you how to draw from now on.
Be a good student
and get along with her, okay?
Okay.
Teacher, I really love to draw.
I can't tell you the details just yet,
but don't worry too much.
We will catch him at all costs.
Okay.
Mom.
Where's Dad?
He said he'd be back soon.
He will keep his promise.
- Here's your jacket. - Take it with you.
Once this is all over, I'll invite you over to our house.
Give it back then.
How about you just leave like this?
Mimicking Cha Ji-won
won't make you become like her.
Until the moment of truth comes,
no one knows what their true face is like.
I forgot to give this to her.
REPORTER KIM
- Yes, Moo-jin. - Where are you right now?
After being questioned, I came straight over to your house.
But all I see here is your suitcase.
I'm with Eun-ha right now.
Eun-ha?
Let me pack some stuff for her before heading to your place.
Sure. I'm not sure what this is about, but I'll pick you up.
No, it's all right.
They caught the person who was lurking around my house.
They did? Who was it?
I'll tell you when we meet.
And I'm sorry about what I said earlier.
What?
I was being too harsh.
I've already forgotten about that. Don't worry.
- Moo-jin. - Yes?
How does this necklace look exactly the same?
It's still shining so beautifully.
Are you wearing the necklace I gave you?
- Since when? - I'll see you at your place.
Okay.
What happened to the door?
Did they search the house too?
What?
What? Oh, it's nothing. Let's hurry and pack your stuff.
What was that?
Maybe my dad's here.
Stay here, Eun-ha. I'll go check.
Okay.
What?
Why are the lights off?
Detective Cha Ji-won?
- Dad? - Don't come out.
Eun-ha, lock the door.
Promise me
that you won't open the door unless it's Mom.
Can you do that, Eun-ha?
Okay.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
I didn't want to do this either.
But you're too unpredictable.
You're like an uncontrollable variable.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
That's why I have no choice but to kill you.
Spare my daughter.
I beg you.
I will…
if you answer…
my question.
Why do you think Do Hyeon-su is innocent?
I want to know if I made any mistake
when I took care of Park Sun-yeong.
There must be a reason.
Murdering someone…
isn't something…
Hyeon-su is capable of.
Because Hyeon-su…
can't feel hatred towards other people.
Since I talked with him on the phone last night,
I haven't erased anything.
Thank you for your cooperation.
