[melancholy music playing]
[young Young-ho crying]
[Myung-ho] Oh, no! Owie! Oh, jeez! Owie!
What are you crying about? This is nothing.
It's okay, it's okay. You're okay.
Daddy will be in soon, so you go inside first, hmm?
You're okay, you're okay.
[continues crying]
[melancholy music continues]
Seo-ha.
Did you come here on your own?
Does your mom know you're here?
Your mother, how's she doing?
Yeah, pretty good, actually.
She's with a guy, a good man. They might even tie the knot.
And…
how are you doing?
Does he treat you well?
He's a better father than you ever were to me.
The both of us are doing great now.
We're a real family.
Right, so why are you here?
I wanted to see how you were doing.
Just curious.
[door opens]
[young Young-ho] Daddy, what are you doing?
[Myung-ho] Don't worry, it's nothing. I'm coming in now.
You should go now.
Oh, and…
try not do this anymore…
coming over unannounced.
For both our sakes.
[melancholy music swells]
What do you know? If it isn't Ms. Yoon.
And to what do I owe this pleasure? Hmm?
You've had a drink too, eh?
I'm glad you're here. I wanted your opinion on something.
Take a look, here.
These are the invitations for my daughter's wedding.
I actually came here hoping we could talk.
Oh, sure, you're right. We really should.
Yeah.
[exhales]
Well, you're here about Hong-sik, aren't you?
Yeah.
What kind of sadistic motherfucker…
Do you know how much Hong-sik meant to me?
Not only did he shoot him with a shotgun, but then he set him on fire too!
I heard…
that this guy's your half-brother?
Well, he's lucky the police arrested him.
'Cause if it were me I'd… Well, I wouldn't have been so nice.
Anyway, more importantly, this building deal is…
What exactly is the hold up?
Well, the thing is, you know this already,
but the land plot issue is still ongoing.
That still?
I know. The thing is, that guy, he claims the family land is his,
and he'll take it all the way to court.
[scoffs]
How's a murderer making a claim while he's locked away?
It's just a matter of time.
No, it's not. He just… He keeps…
This guy, he just… he won't admit it. He says that he's not involved at all.
Well, the guy's arrested, isn't he? So they have some evidence.
Don't worry, Ms. Yoon.
Thing is, they don't have evidence.
What the…
So then the son of a bitch will be… be free, just like that?
I mean, the bastard's not a fucking thief or…
They're just gonna release a potential murderer?
That's why I…
If he starts fighting me on the claim,
then I just can't do anything at that point, because, I mean, I…
I won't be able to receive the inheritance for a while.
I won't be able to buy the building then.
Not if I have anything to say, huh?!
Fucking idiotic detectives!
Ah, shit!
-Goddamn it. -[phone ringing]
DETECTIVE PARK SANG-MIN
-Hello, Captain? -[Sang-min] Ms. Yoon?
Yes.
I'm calling about the matter the other day.
The incident with the blood on the door.
File a complaint against Kim Young-ho.
I'm sure he's the culprit. [exhales]
You can't prove it, can you?
If you could just…
As long as we have reason to hold him, we'll be able to find solid evidence.
Please just trust us and file a complaint.
-I won't file a complaint. -Ms. Yoon--
[sighs]
If he gets released…
I'll just have to call my friend.
He's a lawyer.
He can meet him and maybe have some words,
get an agreement signed.
Don't worry.
Hong-sik told me about how…
that bastard, he even stole your father from you.
He stole your father's love and killed your husband.
A murderer through and through.
You'd let this son of a bitch take your inheritance?
If that were me… Shit, I'd never let that fly.
So then,
do you want me to handle this for you?
Okay.
By all means then.
[Tae-seong chuckles]
That's the right call.
Yeah.
Right, you should try and quickly put this behind you and start fresh.
Hmm?
[opening theme music playing]
THE BEQUEATHED
CHIEF'S OFFICE
[Chief] You said you were sure about this!
I kissed Prosecutor Kim's ass for that warrant.
How many fucking times have you screwed up now?
Ah, shit.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
[chuckles] What is this?
The fuck is this, huh?
That's me taking responsibility.
I already heard the talk about the reduction in personnel.
And I'm aware that…
I'm the one up next.
-Shit, you goddamn idiot. -[rips paper]
Listen here,
don't give me this "falling on your sword" bullshit. Huh?
[sighs] Shit.
As for the layoff, Detective Choi's leaving.
[somber music playing]
Sir?
Detective Choi said he's quitting.
He came by last night. The matter's been settled.
So you need to figure out how to sweet-talk him into solving this
before he's gone for good, understand?
You get it?
LANDLORD CHOI TAE-SEONG
HE JUST MET KIM YOUNG-HO DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH

[tapping keys]
OKAY, THANK YOU
[foreboding music playing]
[breathing heavily]
-[thug 1] Ah, shit. -[thug 2] Grab him!

[thug 2] Keep still, bastard!
-Stop moving, asshole! -[Young-ho gasping]
[muffled screaming, gasping]
NAMIL POLICE STATION
[Jung-hyun] No matter how you look at it, Kim Young-ho can't be our guy.
I don't get why the captain is so obsessed with him.
-Hey, keep your mouth shut. -Oh, you're here, sir.
What are you all doing here?
I heard we released Kim Young-ho.
Does he have any security?
-No, sir. -What? And Yoon Seo-ha?
Well, the captain said he wanted us to find evidence over everything else.
And that's the reason all of us are in here.
[Dae-su] Sir, I get it but all the orders are contradictory.
Kim Young-ho isn't the murderer.
-The both of them are in danger. -[Dae-su] What?
Either one of them could be next. What are you waiting for?
Hurry and find them, we're running out of time.
-Hurry! -Yes, sir. Let's hustle, guys.
[tense music playing]
[hits chair]

Hey, asshole, wake up.
Wake the fuck up!
Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom.
-[thug 2] Hey, come on. -Mom. [whimpering]
-[thug 2] Shut up. -[groaning]
[Jung-tae] Bring him in here if he's up.
-[thug 1] Yes, sir. -[thug 2] On it.
Get up, asshole.
-Shit. -I said, get the fuck up.
[tense music building]
[thug 2] Jesus Christ.
Who the hell are you? [breathing heavily]
Mr. Kim, you're not hurt, are you? No.
I'm not a bad guy. Here, I'm a lawyer. Yeah.
We're not doing this because we've got anything against you.
No, I don't want you to get the wrong idea at all.
You just relax. It's not gonna be hard.
I just need your thumbprint.
WITHDRAWAL OF LAWSUIT
Got it? Here.
-No. -Hurry, hurry.
No! No!
Why the hell are you doing this to me?
You know what? Screw it. Grab his fucking hands.
Get his fucking thumbprint.
I know what you're trying to do now. It won't work.
-That land is mine, you bastard! -What did you just--
Whoa!
Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait!
[screaming]
[thug 1] You crazy fuck!
Get the hell off--
[screaming]
[Jung-tae] Grab that motherfucker now!
You fucking morons!

Son of a bitch! [exclaims]

[screaming]
Fuck! My leg!
Okay, okay, okay!
-Ah! Shit. -Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
-Come on, get him! -Fuck! Fuck!
[Jung-tae] Get that motherfucker.
[thug 1] Bastard!
[Jung-tae] Grab him!
Fucking bastard! Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[Jung-tae] Get him! -[thug 2] Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Stop it, please.
[thug 2] Hey, hey!
[screams]
[thug 1] Shit. Fuck. What the hell?
[Jung-tae] Get down there now! Hurry up! Hurry up!
What the fuck?
[groaning]
[groaning] Please help me.
Ah! Please for the love of God!
Some-- Anybody, please…
-Sir, please… -Hey.
…help me.
Hey, hey, hey. Get up.
Oh, fuck. You're with them too, huh?
God, this is a damn shitshow.
[footsteps approaching]
[Jung-tae] You're here?
[sighing in exasperation] What the hell?
How'd you let it get to this? What the fuck were you doing, huh?
Did he sign?
Uh, he-- No, not yet.
That crazy asshole bit my nose. [screaming]
I'm sorry.
-Fucking trash! -[yells]
-[Jung-tae groaning] -[exhales]
You fucking bastard!
Hey, hey!
[sighs]
[phone buzzing]
LANDLORD CHOI TAE-SEONG
-[Tae-seong] Yes, Ms. Yoon. -Yes, hello.
Did… Did he sign the paperwork?
Well, the thing is, your brother didn't sign but…
if he were to go away, wouldn't that solve everything?
Sorry? What do you--
Unfortunately, it's gotten kind of complicated.
Why? What does that mean? What's going on?
Well, the truth is, your brother, he got injured.
What?
So how about he just disappears? Just like that.
Huh?
You said he doesn't have any other relatives, right?
It's not like anyone would miss this guy.
What exactly are you proposing right now? I mean--
Goddamn it.
This guy…
took a good look at my face.
Now, if he starts talking,
don't you think that puts you in an awkward position?
Anyway, we'll take care of everything here.
So let me know when you have the contract ready
and let's meet then. Okay?
What do you mean when you--
You said you were just going to scare him into signing!
Ms. Yoon.
You have nothing to worry about.
-We're professionals here, understand? -No, listen, I'm… I just… I mean--
My daughter's wedding's on the line.
You think I'm gonna half-ass this? Huh?
Just trust me. This'll be clean.
-No. I-- Wait, I-- -[line beeping]
[sighs] God, I mean, what is… What the fuck is this?
[line ringing]
[automated] The person you are trying to reach--
[exhales heavily]
[line ringing]
[grim music playing]
[automated] The person you are trying to reach is--
Shit.
[grim music intensifies]
Oh, you're here?
Where are all the files on Yoon Myung-gil?
Huh?
Where'd everyone go?
Oh, I sent the guys to protect Kim Young-ho and Yoon Seo-ha.
We've always had two captains, didn't we?
[poignant music playing]
No…
it was only ever Captain Choi, wasn't it?
It was urgent. I'm sorry.
They're both in danger.
I have a theory that someone's controlling Kim Young-ho.
It might be his own mother…
You're extraordinary, you know that?
Yeah, you're incredible,
but think you can rein it in a bit, for fuck's sake!
What are you-- What are you doing?
What, do you feel sorry for me?
You think I'm a joke, don't you?
That's why you're quitting, isn't it? 'Cause I'm a pathetic captain?
Chasing dead leads.
Running this investigation into a damn corner, right?
Sang-min, they're in danger, you understand?
You're quitting 'cause, otherwise, I'd be fired, isn't that right?
Am I a fucking charity case?
Worried that a cripple with a fucked-up leg can't find another job?
What? You're so much better than me, huh?
Hey, please…
stop, for God's sake!
[sighs]
Sang-min, I'm-- It's…
Fight back, asshole.
Sang-min, please don't.
Just shut the fuck up and fight back already, huh?
You're just gonna take it? Why?
Can't bring yourself to hit a cripple, is that it?
Go ahead, hit me!
I was always a charity case, wasn't I?
Huh?
Your son's the reason I'm a fucking cripple, you know that!
You motherfucker.
[poignant music playing]
[gasping in pain]
[grunting in pain]
[Sang-min gasping]
I'm sorry, Sang-min.
I'm sorry.
Stop saying you're sorry.
Every time you apologize…
I feel even more like a real failure.
That's the reason my wife left me
'cause I'm a failure through and through.
You already know that I'm a useless waste of space.
But why? Why do you have to look at me with such…
such pity? It just makes it worse.
No, Sang-min.
The reason why you and Jun-hyung turned out the way you did is all on me.
‘Cause my wife's condition was…
something I wasn't even aware of then.
[sirens wailing]
[people murmuring]
[man] Are you the husband?
It seems to have been hypoglycemic shock.
Your son had his headphones on, so by the time he found her…
What were you doing?
What the hell were you doing while she was lying there?
[sobbing]
It was an accident.
It wasn't Jun-hyung's fault.
Those careless words I said to my son…
How could I ever say such a thing to a boy who's just lost…
He was already blaming himself, you know?
I thought that over time, and because he's my son,
he'd realize that I didn't…
I didn't mean that.
But instead…
Because of what I chose to say…
you ended up like this.
[breathing raggedly]
[phone buzzing]
Yeah, Dae-su?
Yes, sir. We found Kim Young-ho's car.
Really?
Yeah, we, uh, tracked him using security footage.
But he's not here and his windows are shattered.
What?
Did you check the nearby cameras? If you get anything, call me right away.
-Yes, understood. -And Yoon Seo-ha?
Ah, nothing yet.
She wasn't home, but we'll contact you as soon as we find her.
Okay, got it.
I got a call before from forensics.
They found someone's DNA on Yang's body earlier.
It's a woman's, type A, a relative on Kim's mother's side
and Yoon Seo-ha's father's side.
DNA from Yoon Seo-ha's father's side and Kim's mother's side?
How does that work?
I'm not exactly sure, but I think Kim's mother is still out there.
We have to find his mother.
Hey, wait a minute.
[line ringing]
[Jung-hyun] Yes, Captain.
Hey, you kept the file of the connections to Yoon Myung-gil's family, right?
You mean the neighbor who said they knew the Yoon family since they were young?
Yes, that one.
Text me their address as soon as you can.
Will do, sir.
Let's go.
PARKING LOT
[somber music playing]
[Sang-min] This person was their neighbor.
They lived in the same area as Yoon Myung-ho's family.
Yoon Myung-ho left his family for this woman,
so we need to find her.
She's gotta be the key here,
Kim's mother.
All this started after Yoon Myung-gil died.
So our culprit…
definitely has connections to the inheritance deal.
[somber music continues]
I really need to know where he is right now.
And I told you that I don't know where he is.
[groans] Are you going to keep asking me that?
Yeah, you work here though.
Isn't it weird if your boss doesn't show up?
I already told you he hasn't called us, so…
Jesus Christ.
You're getting in the way, so please.
How about you just step outside, and try calling him again?
Why don't you do that?
Huh?
You're dripping water here. You see that?
At least tip me if you want to talk. Okay?
Wow, what a dick.
[line calling]
YUJIN MEATS
[woman 1] Myung-ho was the oldest of the three,
and after him was Myung-gil, and they had a younger sister too.
And I'm not sure where you heard that but, no, Myung-ho wasn't nuts.
[Sung-jun] That's just what I heard.
I heard that Myung-ho was insane,
and that's the reason Myung-gil inherited the family burial ground.
It's just… I feel a little uncomfortable
talking about another family's situation with strangers.
And they're just rumors.
This is a murder case.
So you should tell us anything, even if it's just a rumor.
Well…
Myung-ho and Myung-hee, he adored his little sister.
They were always together.
[woman 2] He really adored that girl.
Myung-hee was always getting teased
and Myung-ho was always protecting her.
[woman 1] That's right.
Myung-hee, that girl, she was always getting bullied.
You know how children tend to treat each other at that age.
They're awful.
And she was also a crybaby on top of it.
Not just her, all children cry.
It's just the nature of kids. They're sensitive.
No, Myung-hee was something else.
She'd cry over everything. Even when she got older.
Myung-ho always stayed by her side.
They were practically joined at the hip.
You never saw one without the other, like I said.
Then one day, they disappeared all of a sudden.
Wait a minute. So are you saying…
that the two of them died at that time?
No, those two didn't die. They were shunned.
Before she left, I saw her.
Her belly was big.
She was pregnant?
She was. And showing.
There were some rumors going around about who the father was,
so Myung-ho and Myung-hee were kicked out.
Jeez, sis, stop. That's not it and you know it.
They were brother and sister.
Who are you kidding, saying that?
When Myung-hee left, Myung-ho up and left with her, didn't he?
And someone saw the two of them, running off together at night.
Someone saw the two of them actually leave together at that time then?
Yes. Down the road there, the old barber, he saw the two of them leave that night.
And that's not all.
Within three or four years of their disappearance,
there was a rumor going around,
that those two then got themselves a house.
I bet you can imagine the gossip that followed.
Jeez, sis.
What's wrong with a brother and sister
getting a house together after they move out?
[woman 2] You're kidding me. Come on.
You're gonna sit there and tell me
that it's okay to leave your wife and daughter to be with your sister?
Someone saw Myung-hee carrying her son,
but Myung-Ho was just standing there, right next to them, like they were family.
Kim Young-ho, Yoon Seo-ha, and the source of this bloodstain,
all three's paternal lineage match up here.
That means they're Kim Young-ho's maternal relative
and also, they're Yoon Seo-ha's paternal relative.
And you know what? That boy called him "Papa,"
if that wasn't enough of a smoking gun.
So Yoon Myung-hee's child is… You're saying it's her brother's?
Yes I'm… quite certain that's what happened.
I think those two had a child together in incest.
WOLGUNGJANG MOTEL
[line ringing]
[tense music playing]
[woman] The person you are--
Why aren't you answering, you idiot?
[line ringing]
[tense music rising]
But once that rumor started going around,
Myung-ho came back shortly after.
From then on, you'd see shamans going in and out of that house all the time.
You haunting spirit!
You're stealing someone else's body and committing evil deeds in their name,
so get out!
[woman 2] They said Myung-ho had an evil spirit attached to him,
so they tried exorcism.
And they did those rituals over and over again, day after day.
And during this time,
Myung-hee took her boy and went to some other temple…
Gyeongamsa, no?
Yes! That's right, Gyeongamsa.
It was one of those strange temples, you know, with shamans and whatnot.
Why did Myung-hee go to that temple?
[woman 1] She couldn't raise her child by herself.
So she went and took that boy of hers,
and tried to live somewhere no one would find her.
Myung-hee then said that her boy was special and visionary.
She took her son, who was perfectly ordinary,
and said he had shinbyeong, so they could stay there.
He doesn't have shinbyeong, your child.
A son? Is he Kim Young-ho?
Oh, dear.
He was a child of incest.
Could you imagine the poor boy bearing that at school?
No, she probably wanted to hide him from people as best she could.
[sinister music playing]
[engine starts]
[thud]
Oh! What was that?
Shit. Damn it.
[breathing shakily]
[grunting]
Ugh, seriously…
[woman 2 clicking tongue] Even their own family shunned them.
Myung-hee wanted to stay out of sight for her boy's sake at least.
She probably had to live the life of a ghost after that.
How the hell did that get there?
You said Myung-hee was teased and bullied when she was young.
Why bully the girl?
Unfortunately,
Myung-hee was born with a cleft palate.
Eventually she got it fixed, though it was many years later.
So she suffered.
I'm sorry, who are you?
I thought Mr. Yoon lived alone, didn't he?
I live right down the road from here.
[Sang-jun] You and Mr. Yoon are close?
[old woman] Well, um, we're just neighbors really.
[Sang-jun] Well, Mr. Yoon doesn't have family here.
[old woman] Well…
[Sang-jun] How long has he been here?
[old woman] Ah, he did have a brother.
But he was crazy and I heard he died.
[sinister music continues]
Ah…
[sinister music rising]
I have every right to the family burial ground as she does!
[screaming]
Let go of me!
[gunshot]
[sinister music continues]
[closing theme music playing]
