Hello.
JUNG JEONG-YEON, PLANNER
NT LIFE INSURANCE
The doors are opening.
I'm going to fall ill if I keep overworking like this.
The doors are opening.
EPISODE 4
PHOTOS OF THE SCENE
Did they make a separate task force for me?
1. MURDERS DISGUISED AS ACCIDENTS, NATURAL DEATHS, SUICIDES
2. BIG OR SMALL, THE VICTIMS ALL DID SOMETHING WRONG
Not bad.
Why doesn't our team have get-togethers?
How about you and I go have a drink as two men on the team?
What is it? Are you that happy?
Did you leave something? How clumsy.
I'll be heading home then.
WATER ONCE A DAY
Even if I wear perfume,
the smell wears off by the evening due to the smell of trash.
It's better not to wear any.
It's worse when the smells mix.
What's his deal?
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Damn it.
NT LIFE INSURANCE TOWER
God, he's tenacious.
Damn it!
Is he an athlete or what?
As an IT expert, I can say for sure
that this video wasn't uploaded to the web.
Judging by how it was directly transmitted on the electronic display,
it's highly likely that a skillful hacker played a part in this.
But the key point is the message it's relaying.
"The true culprit is still out there."
It means the young woman arrested on the scene might be another victim.
We have a valuable guest today.
He was at the crime scene when it happened.
Username Poirot. Thank you for your three-month subscription.
You told me that the man seemed a bit odd
even before he was stabbed.
That's right. He was staggering and--
Gosh, 5,000 won! I'm shocked!
I'm dumbfounded.
Do we even have to watch these garbage videos online?
The most important leads can often be found watching them.
Hey, you. Did you find it?
My name is Gyeong-su.
Gosh, have you still not found it yet?
Why is he even on the team?
The animation they used was broadcast locally in Seattle in 2003.
The title is The Way to ABC.
Tell me everything.
It's a simple animation that was created for preschoolers.
This red bear is Annie.
This yellow lizard is Bonnie.
And this green one is Cindy.
As for the rest of them…
Just tell me the important stuff.
Says the person who wanted to hear everything.
Gosh, you whine a lot.
The episode they used for the video
begins with one of the characters dropping some pancakes on the floor.
Then they argue about who dropped the pancakes.
Hey, you.
So which one of them dropped the pancakes?
It's Gyeong-su.
Is the red one Gyeong-su?
No. My name is Gyeong-su, so call me by my--
Is that important right now?
It wasn't any of them.
What?
The culprit was the camera that was filming them.
The one holding the camera to be exact.
Her name is Didi.
Gosh, I got goosebumps.
Is this really for kids? It's a bit deep.
The story is similar to the message the murderer wanted to relay.
What about it?
They hacked the display in a hurry and uploaded the video
to protect the suspect.
And they chose an animation that not many people here know
but matched their intended message.
Since this was improvised,
it probably means that it's likely
that the culprit grew up watching this animation.
Someone who was a preschooler in Seattle in 2003?
That means they're in their twenties now. That's too young.
Gosh, I can't see straight.
Gosh.
Darn it. I finished it.
Oh, dear.
She can't be that desperate for alcohol, can she?
When did you leave, Santa?
Weren't you here just a moment…
Hold on.
Gosh, what's this smell?
Gosh. What's that in your hair?
Is this grease?
SOMEONE BROKE IN HERE LAST NIGHT
I'M CERTAIN IT WAS K
They just look ordinary.
I mean, I've been here since last night.
I didn't see anyone who looked suspicious.
Can you rewind to when that person entered the building?
Gosh, how can we find them when we have so much footage?
Spending time with me must have made you dubious as well.
We have our gut feelings.
I'm sure he chased them for a reason.
And why would they run away if they were innocent?
You can't help but run. Got it.
Santa.
I won't punish you for being late for work today,
so stop this and go take a shower.
We can't have two smelly people at the office.
How is it two?
You don't have to lie about why you couldn't shower.
Was it really a lie?
Forget it. Let's get back to work.
Goodness. Santa is cleaning again.
He must be stressed out.
Everything's clean and tidy.
Santa! Don't spray that with water!
BRAND NEW MENU
ILMIRI GOLD JJIMDAK
This looks really good.
-Eat slowly and chew well. -Okay.
Something's fishy.
Babe.
Our love will last forever.
Enjoy.
You don't think we should move?
We have nowhere else to go anyway.
How can we stay there when it was bugged once?
Gosh.
We should tighten the security.
They'll only catch on if we move now.
Are you sure we're safe here?
They must know my name and how I look.
Did you do something wrong?
-What? -If not, don't worry.
They don't kill those who don't deserve it.
Santa is alive and well too.
Still…
Hold on. Is this food safe to eat?
You're such scaredy-cats.
I guess it's safe.
It's not poisoned.
They must've heard us talking about them
being in their twenties and having lived in Seattle.
Yes, since they bugged us.
-It was a woman. -What?
Are you sure? You didn't see their face.
I'm certain. It was a woman.
A woman in her twenties who spent her childhood in Seattle?
That doesn't make sense.
Stop playing hard to get.
He may be a divorcee, but he's handsome and has a nice job.
Why are you being so picky?
Is it because of your niece?
Or are you looking for a bachelor?
No, that's not it.
I want love at first sight. You know what I mean?
That electrifying feeling, okay?
That's what I need.
Did you come to work last night?
No.
I went straight home after doing some legwork.
But it says you were.
Maybe it's an error.
JUNG JEONG-YEON, 21:40
Your lover is calling you.
MY PUPPY
Hi, my puppy. Are you rehearsing today as well?
Okay.
Yi-kyung.
Never mind.
Don't skip your meals.
Bye.
JUNG JEONG-YEON, 21:40
Put him in the rice box.
Let go! Let go of me!
Father!
Your Majesty! You cannot do this!
Hold it.
Let's take a breather.
Already?
But I'm fine.
She hurt her right leg?
My leg's asleep.
What brings you here?
Wait.
Are you here to see me?
You can't act to save your life.
That won't work on me.
You're the only person who's honest with me.
Don't you have friends?
Do I?
Does that matter?
I'm sure you know that.
Didn't you grow up in the US?
Then it must have been hard to make friends.
Did Mr. Jang tell you that?
Did you watch that animation that was on the news when you were there?
Right. What was that?
It was so creepy.
-Where were you last night? -You seem very interested in my affairs.
I'm blushing.
You haven't answered a single question of mine.
Father.
What did I do to deserve to die?
Why do you want me to die without telling me why?
All that I wished for was…
What did he wish for again?
What do you wish for?
For you to answer me properly.
I see.
I did live in the US, but I haven't seen that animation.
Yesterday, I rehearsed.
And it's true that I don't have any friends.
Sometimes I want to pour my heart out to someone.
But there's no one.
You have your aunt.
That's not the same as having a friend.
She's someone I need to look after.
She could be shocked by what I tell her.
Right.
Mr. Jang was a great listener.
Right?
You must really like stepping over boundaries.
I just want us to be friends.
It's time.
The light shines through at this hour, and it's beautiful.
It feels like you can even inhale it.
Bye.
Goodbye.
I should do something about that woman.
Oh, that doll? It's resting right now.
I gave it a checkup as you asked.
Its dad must have taken great care of it, seeing how healthy it is.
The stuffing was clean and dry.
Didn't you find anything else inside?
Or was it made with a special kind of fabric?
Not at all.
A sad doll often has its stuffings lump up
or has insects inside.
But it's very healthy.
So I even performed psychotherapy on it for free.
Psycho…
So there's nothing special about it?
Of course there is.
He gave birth to it himself.
"Gave birth?"
I've never seen a doll like that in my 20 years on the job.
He designed and made that doll himself.
So he pretty much gave birth to it. Don't you think so?
We had it inspected and it was made with ordinary materials.
The only thing of note was that it was handmade.
But many people make dolls like this, right?
What?
Where's Ms. Koo?
Ms. Na?
You can wrap up and go home.
Am I the only one working here?
BLEACH
How will you survive in this world
being as suspicious as you are?
How will you survive in this world being as suspicious…
Excuse me.
I lost my sister.
Could you please lend me your phone?
We came here together, but she disappeared.
Hold on. What will you do with the phone?
I'm going to call her.
You know her number by heart?
Something's fishy.
Why me?
There are so many people here.
So why me?
-Why? -What?
Su-yeon!
Hey!
Thank you!
-Thank you! -Thank you!
Yes?
Ms. Koo, it's me.
They called to ask for help.
And I don't think I can say no because I'm afraid they'll hurt Seon-mi.
I have to do this.
And you're the only person I can ask for help.
IT'S YOUR TURN TO HELP
What should I do?
Yoon Jae-yeong's received one message so far.
"Incheon Station, exit one, 1 p.m., the day after tomorrow."
That's it.
She wasn't told what to bring or who to meet.
She'll probably be given her next order once she arrives there.
Her next order?
Are you saying someone will die again?
Whatever it may be,
we'll be able to see how K works.
Sorry.
What took you so long?
Gyeong-su filled me in on my way here.
Are you sure it's K?
-Am I sure? -Over 51-percent certain?
Yes, since she said they'd be even now.
-Okay. Then-- -Stop right there.
What?
What's the matter?
Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?
Who are you calling?
K reached out to her.
If she's to give Ms. Yoon the next order, that means K will be at Incheon Station.
We'll have to scope the area, so we'll need backup.
She'll find out. This needs to be discreet.
What are you talking about?
Speaking of which…
K knows about all of us, right?
We need to tighten the security even more.
The information we have should be kept to ourselves.
Let me check your phone.
What is this?
Why were you late today?
Who is it?
It's private.
I know everything about you.
Is it Director Yong?
Did you already call her?
It's not her.
Then who is it?
Let me see.
What is it? How's the fever?
Na Na is up and looking for you.
What should I do?
I'm busy right now.
K wants Yoon to aid her in murder.
She's forcing a civilian to take part in a murder.
Shouldn't our priority be to protect Ms. Yoon and the next victim?
What if K sees Director Yong's men and catches onto us?
What will happen to Ms. Yoon and her daughter then?
-You don't know that for-- -It's highly possible
since she seems to be smarter than you.
Ms. Koo.
Any other ideas?
-Let's tell the police-- -Do you think that'll work?
You want there to be another victim.
-Right? -What?
You don't care if someone dies as long as you have a lead on K.
You haven't changed one bit.
You're at it alone again since you don't trust anyone.
You don't even trust your teammates so you surveil them.
You'll risk anything and everything just to solve this puzzle.
This is just like back then.
I don't think we should talk about this at home
and definitely not at the station.
I just want to hear your side of the story.
You can be honest with me, can't you?
Do you know how desperately I prayed
that you wouldn't hurt anyone by suspecting others again?
Unlike you, I've changed. I'm not making the same mistake.
I killed him.
That's your conclusion after all those years?
Yes.
I think I killed my husband.
But why? Why did he die?
Because someone he trusted started looking at him in contempt?
Could that be why?
What if that's not it?
What if he killed himself so that I wouldn't find out
all the dirty things he'd done?
Even if I was to relive that moment,
I'd suspect him just as I did then.
I have no choice.
I feel so sorry for him.
How close were you to my husband?
What?
Who's Na Na's dad?
I understand that you don't trust anyone.
But I bet no one in this world cares about you more than I do.
I won't be there when you regret this.
Hey, you.
Tell Ms. Yoon that we'll help her.
Are we really doing this?
Haven't you been listening all this time?
What are their names?
This one's Jack.
-Jack. -This one's Tommy.
SONG YI-KYUNG
Do you have a lover I don't know about?
It was a spam call.
I don't have a lover.
Gosh.
I didn't realize you were the jealous type.
I can be sulky too.
That's not how you speak in a dialect.
Are you speaking a Gyeongsang dialect?
I was born in Gyeongsang Province
but I grew up in Bongbaek.
My dad worked there as a school janitor until he died.
I see. I'm sorry.
He deserved to die.
He was a drunkard and a wife-beater. You know the story.
Was it the alcohol that killed him?
Yes.
That's why I never drink.
So you better not sulk even if I don't drink with you.
All right. I'll give you a free pass.
I'm such a downer, aren't I?
I love learning more about you.
I'd like to know more.
Should we go on a trip to the beach?
SONG YI-KYUNG
We'll book a hotel with an ocean view.
-Are you okay? -Yes, and you?
I'm still new to wheelchairs.
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No. I'm fine.
Aren't you going to pick up?
She looks fine. Let's go have lunch. We're going to be late.
What?
You're okay, right?
I'm sorry. Let's go.
-But-- -She says she's fine.
Let's go.
Hold on.
I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now.
Pick up my calls on time from now on.
Don't make me feel lonely.
Okay.
I'm famished. Let's go eat.
I'm starving.
Gosh.
Ms. Na.
I bought a variety of drinks because I didn't know what you like.
You like milk tea. I'll make note of that.
Not really.
If you don't like sweet beverages, don't drink it. I'll have it.
I don't hate it either.
You know exactly what Ms. Koo likes
but not what you like.
Why are you so nice to her?
I mean…
I get that she was a former colleague who you admired and liked.
But let's be honest. The way she's treating you is just not right.
Is this…
Is this because of her late husband?
What?
This may sound cruel, but it's Ms. Koo's fault
that her husband died
I understand that you may feel guilty for not stopping her.
But I don't think you deserve to be treated like this.
Don't let her walk all over you.
Insert your card.
Aren't you getting out?
I didn't know but I think I like milk tea.
-I want this drink from now on. -Yes, ma'am.
Drive home safely.
Someone saw Seong-u and that student together that day.
Objectively speaking, he is a suspect.
I think I should question him--
No.
I'll do it. I have to.
PATIENT: NA ** GENDER: FEMALE
Where is she?
-Dad. -Hey.
Where is she?
-Hey. Come here. -What?
Come in.
It's better here, right? It's quiet too.
How did you…
Hey.
You should thank her first.
I'm sorry. I should've taught her better.
Thank you.
She even brought us a gift.
Nonsense.
She's smart and hardworking.
I hadn't heard from her for a while and was worried if something happened.
But now, I understand.
Thank you for your kindness.
Don't mention it. We've known each other for…
quite some time now.
But the only lead we have so far is that doll.
You see,
I like to see results.
See her out.
Okay.
I'll be waiting for your call.
Why did the elevator stop?
It was scorching hot in there.
-Why wasn't the AC on? -Gosh, that was a pain.
This is so irritating.
INCHEON SUBWAY LINE 1
Aren't you going home?
What about you?
You should shower and sleep for tomorrow.
I can't be bothered. You can go.
KOO KYUNG-YI
JE-HUI
You took a while. How's Na Na doing?
She's asleep.
What's the plan?
I'm meeting Ms. Yoon early in the morning. Everything's planned out.
You did well.
I'll take it from here.
I'm going to intervene if it gets dangerous.
We need to catch K without anyone dying.
That was my plan anyway.
I've got it all planned out.
Since K has already ransacked our office,
it's safe to say that our identities have been exposed.
Let's not show ourselves in case something happens.
Our target is on the move.
It's too small. Don't get in.
Little miss.
Are you getting off at the Museum Station?
My husband asked me to tell someone that he lost his phone.
Is it you?
Yes. It's me. Thank you.
-Let's go. -No.
What is that?
What's inside?
Why did she do that?
She must have been threatened.
I think K caught on.
What's that water bottle?
Did you see what she was told to do?
No, I couldn't.
There's something in the bottle.
Poison? Like that time with Park Gyu-il?
What about you, Santa?
SAFETY CHECKLIST
NAME OF RIDE, DATE OF MANUFACTURE SAFETY INSEPCTOR, DATE OF INSTALLATION
We need to find our target.
You should stop her instead!
We can't stop here.
What if it really is poison?
We're facing a temporary issue with the power supply.
Everything is fine, so please enjoy your time!
Hey, look!
No!
You can't do this!
Get out!
Get out! Get out of here!
Get out! It's dangerous!
We were duped.
RESTRICTED NUMBER: NO ONE IS GOING TO DIE
I just did as I was told.
Mom.
Seon-mi.
Why would K do something so useless?
Who knows? She could just be pretending.
Maybe…
What's with your voice? Wait.
What's wrong with my voice?
-What's wrong? -I think we inhaled helium.
Hold on.
I sound funny.
Doesn't it open?
Why won't this budge?
How about the windows?
Kyung-yi.
Ms. Na.
WOLMIDO LIGHTHOUSE ROAD
She was never going to make Yoon Jae-yeong kill anyone.
They were warning me not to chase them by hurting those around me.
She knows how to hurt me.
-That hurts. -Are you okay, Ms. Na?
Yes. And I'm not deaf either.
Where are we? How long have we been here?
First, let's find a way to get out of here.
Hold on.
-Gyeong-su, can you… -Yes?
Can you pull on this?
Hold on, I have cramps. I'll give it a try.
There's a phone.
A cell phone.
Where are we?
Here. I think this might open.
Okay. Push.
-One, two, three. -…Two, three.
Where are we?
What is this place?
Where are we?
Ms. Na.
MS. KOO KYUNG-YI
You have a call.
Kyung-yi.
We're locked up somewhere.
The water is rising.
Where are you?
Je-hui!
Hurry!
That was cool.
Right?
Move aside.
Move aside. All right.
The bird that just brushed past General MacArthur's nose
was the blue rock thrush.
"The blue rock thrush"?
Take a look.
Wait a minute! Three o'clock.
That's the grey-capped greenfinch.
Wait a minute! Eleven o'clock.
That's the warbling white-eye.
Wait a minute!
What is this sound?
Hold on!
It's the grey-headed woodpecker.
What's wrong? Dizzy? Do you have a headache?
Goodness.
Anyway, I hope to see you at our next gathering.
Okay?
All right.
PROTECT OUR BABIES
"Our babies"?
Where have you gone?
Yes, I know. Hooray for birds.
I'll see you there.
Excuse me.
What is it?
May I see what's in your hand?
What?
We received a tip-off.
It won't take long.
Here.
POLICE
You should come to the station with us.
What? Why all of a sudden?
That's not mine.
We can talk when we get there.
-It's not mine. -I see.
-Some old guy gave it to me. -Let's go first.
Some bird-crazy grandpa gave it to me!
-Okay. -Where are you?
I don't do drugs.
-We can talk when we get there. -Come on.
Gosh!
All done.
I think it's an abandoned container.
I see no windows, so maybe for freight.
She probably couldn't have moved them that far.
They should be within a 30km radius.
It won't be hard to spot a container that's by the sea.
You're at sea, right?
Yes. The water is salty.
Ms. Na, are we floating at sea?
It's the Yellow Sea.
The tide is rising.
Once it's the high tide, we'll…
Will we die in here once it fills up?
Have we got her location yet?
We have two hours until high tide.
I told you that this was all a misunderstanding.
Can I go home yet?
You were caught red-handed.
Come on.
This is so unfair.
You got it all wrong.
Officer Kim, come here.
Yes, sir.
Can I go home?
Are you taking me home?
Let's go. Follow me.
-Goodbye, sir. -Come on.
-Sir, I can't sleep in here. -Okay.
-Sir, please let me go. -Yes?
Sleep tight.
This is so not fair!
I'm going to miss out on all the fun.
Where the hell are they? Where?
Focus, will you?
Get it together! Focus!
What is she doing?
The battery is running low.
Ms. Na.
That was a trident goby. They live in the estuary.
What does that mean?
Na Na loves fish.
-Hey. -Kyung-yi, this isn't…
This isn't the sea.
It's not the sea?
What should we do now?
Stay sharp. We're not going to die here.
Je-hui!
Na Je-hui!
(Inspector Koo)
Two people are locked inside an abandoned container on a lake.
-The location is… -Ms. Na is still down there!
What about Ms. Na?
We're wasting precious time right now.
She knew everything. She approached me knowing everything.
That little girl has been killing people based on what I told her.
Why are you still alive?
Kill him. It looks like he deserves it.
You can't? Then should I do it for you?
Are you trying to get yourself killed?
I think what you're doing is great.
I'll help you no matter what happens.
That woman knows everything. She was even at the station.
-Song Yi-kyung! -I hate people like that.
At times, it seems you still don't know who I really am.
