A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
Welcome, Jeong-suk.
Hi.
Shall I go in?
Yes, come on in.
- It wasn't an easy journey, right? - It was okay.
I thought you might be hungry, so I made some food.
Where's Jeong-rim?
She was feeling drowsy from medicine and fell asleep a moment ago.
I'll wake her up in ten minutes. Take a seat.
Okay.
I made this liquor with acacia flowers.
Would you like a glass?
No, thanks. I don't drink during work.
It's just a glass.
You're still as uncompromising as you were in the past, Jeong-suk.
You know what?
I liked you back in the day.
- What? - I liked you a lot.
But I couldn't do anything because of Seong-su.
That's right.
I heard that you got a divorce.
Had I known, I would've made a move on you.
Is it too late now?
Where's Jeong-rim? I think you should wake her up.
- Over there. - Okay.
Jeong-rim.
What's this?
Where's Jeong-rim?
She ran away about two years ago.
I guess you were mistaken.
I only sell products to women.
Had I known, I wouldn't have come.
I wasn't mistaken about anything.
I lied to you on purpose.
You wouldn't have come otherwise.
You know,
you're still so pretty.
I see. This is it.
Put it on.
Hey, where are you going?
You can't leave like this. Shall I help you put it on?
Let go of me!
Hey.
Damn it.
Hey!
Jeong-suk.
You've played hard to get long enough.
Stay away.
Hey, why do you keep making me a bad person?
I'm different from Seong-su.
- Let's be honest. - Let go!
- Come on out. - Let go!
Who are you?
You jerk.
Are you okay?
Detective.
Behind you!
Detective.
Hey, who do you think you are?
Ms. Han Jeong-suk.
You can rest easy now.
I'll be by your side.
I apprehended the suspect. Go inside the storehouse.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
You must be shaken up.
Yes.
Let go of me!
- Come with us. - What did I do wrong?
Let go of me!
Damn it!
Hey! You tell them.
What did I do to you? Say it!
- Let go! - That's enough.
I'll drive you home. Let's go to my car.
Okay.
I think you should go to the hospital.
No, it's really okay.
A detective told me earlier that they need my statement.
You don't need to do it today.
Taking care of yourself should be your priority,
so don't think about anything today.
Get some rest.
Okay. See you then.
Jeong-suk!
Jeong-suk, it's us! The in-home sales rep sisters!
Okay. Give me a second!
You came after hearing the news.
Yes. It sounds like being the branch manager is amazing.
You get a fixed monthly salary.
It's the sweetest word I've heard in my life.
It's sweeter than this tomato.
Jeong-suk, you heard the news first.
Out of the four of us, you're most likely to become one.
That's right.
Jeong-suk.
Become successful as soon as possible and show everyone!
"Show everyone"?
What? It's nothing.
What is it?
She's avoiding eye contact, so there must be something.
Hurry up and spill.
I'm still upset about it.
I guess the supermarket lady heard about your divorce.
She was saying all sorts of things.
She asked if the business was the cause,
said she knew it was trouble, and asked if you'll quit work--
Geez, what a nosy woman she is!
My goodness.
So I told her Jeong-suk wasn't the one at fault.
I told her that she got over it
and that the business is thriving.
I told her
that she had an in-home sales job at her high school friend's house.
Oh, I see.
Useless rumors circulate because the town is so small.
- It can't be helped. - That's right.
Don't mind it too much.
That's right. It doesn't matter.
At times like this, you should focus on work and show them.
Yeong-bok, you should go to that in-home sales job with Jeong-suk.
Jeong-suk, it's at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. You have time, right?
At 2:00 p.m.? Yes.
Okay.
This is ridiculous.
How did this happen in the middle of the night
in a quiet town like this?
Seriously.
My goodness.
Did the interrogation go well?
He keeps denying the charges.
Hold on! Damn it.
Captain, you've known me since childhood.
I wouldn't do something like that!
This is frustrating.
It really is.
Goodness.
By the way, Detective Kim, how did you catch him in the act?
Who cares? What's important is that he caught the culprit.
I didn't know what had happened,
so I wondered why he didn't come over last night like he promised.
I almost got offended.
I apologize. I'll visit you soon.
All right. After we wrap up this case nicely,
I'll invite you again.
So when will the victim come?
Due to the nature of the crime, the victim needs psychological stability.
To separate the two sides, I'll receive the statement in writing.
That punk will claim to be innocent.
Cross-examination will speed up the process.
I'll take care of it on my own.
Right. The high and mighty one will take care of it on his own.
What did you do just now?
What? It was just a light slap.
What?
Isn't this blood?
Blood? Why… Why are you bleeding?
No way.
Did you get hurt at the scene?
That must be it. You said there was a physical fight.
I can't believe that bastard.
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
It's nothing.
I'll get treatment after work.
See? It wasn't me.
It doesn't look like it's nothing.
Gosh, that could've been bad.
This is it.
Put it on.
Hello?
This is Detective Kim Do-hyeon.
Yes, Detective.
I plan to receive your statement in writing.
So I want to give you the documents and explain them to you in person.
Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?
I have work then.
You're going back to work already?
You should take a few days off.
No, I need to work. My family's livelihood depends on it.
You know…
I'd like to ask you something.
What happened yesterday…
There's no way people will find out about it, right?
Excuse me?
People already think that my business has brought trouble
to a quiet town, so I'm a bit worried.
I'll make sure to keep this quiet.
Thank you.
I think I'll start working around 2:00 p.m. and finish around 5:00 p.m.
It's near the place where we met that one time.
Okay. See you there tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.
Make sure Ms. Han Jeong-suk's case doesn't become public knowledge.
Okay.
Where's Detective Na?
He'll talk to the possible witnesses of the motorcycle theft case
and go home from there.
Will he…
When I hit his vital point, he was stricken like this.
I landed another kick and finished him off with a flying kick.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- Then came a 540-degree roundhouse kick. - Goodness.
He's different.
- He's different. - Yes.
After finishing him off,
I approached the woman to help her up.
Suddenly, this punk came up behind me
- with a shovel. - No way.
With a big and hard shovel, he hit me in the back.
So what happened then?
It was like…
- I felt like my bone was broken. - Of course.
But I knew that I couldn't pass out like that.
That's right.
So I turned around right away
and grabbed the shovel.
What? Did you bend the shovel?
Gosh, you're incredible.
I almost made an action film in that flower farm storehouse.
- My goodness. - You're cool.
- You're truly amazing. - Yes.
By the way, isn't that Jeong-suk's story?
She sells adult products.
What?
- You said you went uptown yesterday. - Yes.
The flower farm uptown is run by Gyeong-sik.
Yes.
Jeong-suk went there to sell products.
What?
All the pieces are coming together.
How are you so good at putting the clues together?
You should be a detective. I'll retire.
- What? So was it really Jeong-suk? - Was it?
No. I didn't say anything.
A police officer shouldn't talk about an ongoing investigation.
Don't go around telling stories, okay?
My back hurts.
It was her.
- I'm 100% sure. - I'm 1,000% sure.
- That means Jeong-suk's the victim. - That's right.
Yes, it's a little bit tasty.
"A little bit tasty"?
Jeong-suk, talk to us for a second.
Jeong-suk, are you home?
- What brings you here at this hour? - Is the rumor true?
- What… - Gyeong-sik.
Why did you go to a single man's house?
- What? - Mom.
Yes. Let's talk about that later.
I knew you were something else when you began selling such items.
Apparently, Gyeong-sik feels really wronged.
He said you were the one who seduced him first.
My child is here. Please stop and go home.
- Where do you think you're going? - Hey.
I'm not done talking. What's with your manners?
If you cherish your child, you should behave yourself.
Stop this and leave!
Seriously!
What have you done so right for you to yell at us?
That's right!
Mom.
- It's okay. - Will you be able to live in this town?
How could you be such a Jezebel behind our backs?
How could a mother do that?
- Behave yourself. - You won't be able to live here.
This is a small town, okay?
CHARMING HAIR SALON
What?
Was he the son of the real estate agency's owner?
He looks nothing like his mom.
Let's go inside.
What? Mom.
New York Hair Salon is better.
- Really? - I got my hair done there.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Then I should go to Charming Hair Salon.
Why do you want me to get my hair done?
Is Aunt coming as well?
Yes.
The entire family will come. Grandma too.
What? Grandma's coming?
Didn't you know?
We're having Grandma's birthday dinner today.
Why didn't you tell me?
You didn't need to know.
I plan to tell her
that you're studying late every day to transfer to a pharmacy school.
Are you telling me not to come?
- It's Grandma's birthday. - So what if you come?
In front of your relatives who went to good schools and became doctors,
you'll say stupid stuff.
That's too harsh, Mom.
- He-- - Be quiet!
Hurry up and go to work. You follow me.
Ju-ri.
- Is he behind bars? - Of course.
- I can't believe it. - You can never know someone's true colors.
- I thought he was the nicest man. - Seriously.
- My goodness. - Everyone is here.
- Did you hear about it? - What?
Gyeong-sik's case!
It's a total ruckus.
Jeong-suk went through a lot.
Oh, no.
- Don't spread the story. - Is it true?
Jeong-suk!
- Come over here. - Hey.
Hey.
What? Did she leave?
Who…
Oh, you must be the in-home sales lady.
Right? Come on in.
My wife is busy doing something in the kitchen, so wait.
Well, the thing is…
What?
What's wrong?
My wife is waiting. Hey!
Wasn't she an in-home sales rep?
I think so, but…
It's me, Detective Kim Do-hyeon.
Yes, Detective.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Like I said before,
you should take a break from work.
I'll drive you home.
No.
I've worried my coworkers many times with my personal issues.
I don't want more ridiculous rumors.
Running away and covering up might not be the best option.
Even if it's stressful,
don't you want to set things right by facing it and tackling it?
That's what the Han Jeong-suk I know would do.
Exactly what should I face
and tackle?
I'll take care of my business.
Ms. Oh, thank you for coming on such short notice.
Don't mention it.
By the way, it's unlike Jeong-suk to cancel on things.
Did something happen?
I know.
She might be very sick, so I'm going to drop by.
She looked a bit down yesterday, so I'm worried.
I know.
- Hello. - Hello.
Did you go somewhere?
We're on our way back from work.
At a time like this?
Jeong-suk's case has turned the town upside down.
What are you talking about?
Did I thank him?
I'm a mess.
Jeong-suk.
She's coming.
Ms. Oh. Yeong-bok.
My poor thing.
Yeong-bok, what's wrong? Did something happen?
We know what happened to you.
Why didn't you tell us?
How do you know?
The video rental shop owner told us.
All the women in the town seemed to know.
- I see. - It's my fault!
I should've gone with you that day.
I should've realized that something was off yesterday.
I'm so sorry, Jeong-suk.
Don't be.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I canceled on today's sales.
My desire to get promoted led to this. It's my fault.
How is it your fault? It's that scumbag's fault!
That's right!
I think women in this town are so mean.
How could they be so shameless?
What do you mean?
Well, Gyeong-sik's mother
asked townspeople for petitions and statements.
The owners of the supermarket, hardware store and butcher shop
will go to the police station and testify tomorrow.
For now, let go of your worries and rest.
That's right.
Ju-ri will have in-home sales until late today,
so we'll talk to her tomorrow and resolve the matter.
"Resolve the matter"?
How could they corner the innocent victim? They're less than human.
I'll teach them a lesson tomorrow.
I'm not taking out my anger on them.
What was the term, Ms. Oh? Serve…
- Serve justice. - Yes.
This is serving justice.
Running the hair salon and doing the in-home sales…
It's exhausting to have two jobs.
JINHYANG HOF
It's too late to call the girls over, right?
- Sir. - It has been a while.
Yes.
Ju-ri, are you coming from the in-home sales?
Yes. It's my sister's day off, so she's babysitting Dong-u.
It's free time for me.
I'd like whelks and soju.
Sir, a table for four.
Okay. All right.
Please wait.
It seems like you know him.
Would you please sit with him?
As you can see, we don't have enough tables.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
All right. Please sit here.
Welcome.
Please take this table.
What would you like?
Well, this is awkward.
I'm sorry.
What?
I was the one who got the wrong idea.
Then I became sullen.
What do you mean?
You told me
that I looked like Shim Shin.
I thought you liked me.
- It's funny, right? - I mean…
I'm not used to receiving compliments.
My mom never told me that I looked handsome.
So hearing your compliment…
made me excited.
Well, it's okay.
I said empty words.
I'm sorry.
So, we're even.
We're even.
- Hey. - What?
Stop drinking.
You didn't do anything wrong, okay?
Yes, I did.
Had I studied
a bit harder…
Had I been a bit more successful…
I would've been able to see my grandma.
Grandma.
If you miss her so much, go and see her!
Follow me.
What?
Hurry up.
- Hurry up. - Where are we going?
Let's hurry up and go.
Hold on.
My goodness.
Yeong-ja, thanks for the meal.
- If only you visited more often. - Thank you so much.
- You should visit often. - Okay.
- Seriously. - Have a safe trip home.
She's your grandma, right?
She has aged a lot.
Grandma, please live a long life.
I want to become successful
and meet you as a proud grandson.
I think it'll take too long.
- Have a safe trip home. - All right.
Bye.
I'll call you.
Grandma.
Don't cry.
Blow your nose.
It's okay.
Let me see you.
Why are you crying? Goodness.
I'm sorry.
I must be very drunk.
You suddenly looked so pretty.
So when you're sober, I don't look pretty?
You still look pretty.
He should've controlled himself.
Why did he leave such a big mark?
Was it his first kiss?
Then he must be very excited now.
CHARMING HAIR SALON
No way.
At his age, it couldn't have been his first kiss.
Ju-ri, I can't believe you.
You shouldn't have drunk so much, Ju-ri.
What? Hello.
What brings you here?
We have something to tell you.
Where's Dong-u?
He's at Jeong-suk's place.
What?
Jeong-suk needs some rest.
Why? Is Jeong-suk sick?
Are you worried about something?
No.
Eat some melon.
Here you go.
I wish you'd stay home every day.
You're such a kid.
Even a single game costs money.
Moms need to work so that we can do what we want.
You need to look far ahead.
Still, I like it when Mom stays home.
By the way, can we play outside?
I don't want to.
It's because of Yeong-min, right?
Mom, there's a kid who always picks a fight with us.
It's not that I'm a coward.
He's this big like Lee Man-gi.
It's best to avoid Yeong-min.
Why should we avoid him?
Why should the ones who did nothing wrong go into hiding?
Isn't it unfair?
Even if we get hurt, we should face him head-on.
That way, a bright future will come to this beautiful planet Earth.
Did you watch Flashman yesterday?
Yes.
That was what Number One said to Number Five.
You're right. Flashman always speaks the truth.
Okay. There's no bright future for the cowards
who always run away and hide.
Let's face him head-on.
Okay. Let's go.
Let's go.
- See you later. - See you later.
Be safe.
SUPERNOVA FLASHMAN
Even if it's stressful,
don't you want to set things right by facing it and tackling it?
That's what the Han Jeong-suk I know would do.
How could they corner the innocent victim? They're less than human.
KEEP YOUR CHIN UP FOR JUSTICE!
Is this the solution?
I know this since I've had many fights in my younger days.
In a fight, you should break the other's spirit to win.
You have to look charismatic.
That's right.
Whether it's psychological or physical,
let's win no matter what.
That's right.
I'm coming too.
What? Jeong-suk.
You're coming?
Yes.
It's my business.
GEUMJE POLICE STATION
Come on!
Are you certain?
We're certain. Isn't that right?
That's right. There have been many problems.
I haven't met a nicer person.
Please make sure that there's no harm.
Ms. Han Jeong-suk.
What brings you here?
Who are these women?
We're town residents.
We're here to testify.
We talked to Jeong-suk on the phone that night.
We'll tell you everything we remember.
That's right. Don't pay attention to what those women said!
I'm certain their statements are just emotional and absurd!
Is that so?
All of their statements were in her favor.
What?
Are you serious?
Yes.
Yes, it's true.
They told us
about Mr. Kim's unusual tendencies they heard from his ex-wife
and how he pretended to be married
even after she ran away.
They gave such statements.
Why?
You always said that we cause trouble in this town.
You bad-mouthed us and called us indecent.
"Bad-mouth"? Not at all!
The products you guys sell are indecent.
Jeong-suk did nothing wrong.
That's right.
We bought those items only because Jeong-suk was selling them.
We know that she's decent and hardworking.
Why on earth would you seduce a scumbag like Gyeong-sik?
You were Ms. Chili Pepper in your younger days.
Give me a break.
- What? - What?
It's that bastard.
She's fooling all of you.
She isn't fooling us, you bastard!
Had Jeong-suk needed money, she would've borrowed it from us.
Why would she go to your house?
- She was scheming all along. - What?
She was going for the settlement money, not some petty sales money!
- How dare you… - Goodness.
When she showed me those promiscuous clothes
and seduced me, I should've said no.
- Hey, Kim Gyeong-sik! - What a crazy bastard!
Hey, I'll grant your death wish!
- You punk. - Let go.
- Why are you laughing, you punk? - Yeong-bok.
Women, be quiet!
The police station is not some kids' playground!
How are we supposed to be quiet?
He keeps spouting nonsense!
Isn't that right?
- My goodness. - Come here.
- Hey, come here. - Please.
- Stay still. - No!
Stop!
What?
Do you have something to say?
Shut your mouth.
What was that?
What are you whispering?
She's like that.
She was all bleary-eyed and whispered things to me that day.
Shut your mouth, you perverted freak!
My goodness.
What should I do? I shouldn't have used violence.
I didn't see anything.
What?
I'm sure other people didn't see anything either.
I'm sorry.
You even got hurt because of me that day.
But I didn't even thank you properly.
I also got sensitive when you were just worrying about me.
It's okay.
I regretted saying those words
because I think I only thought about my frustration.
That frustration was relieved a moment ago though.
Jeong-suk!
She's out.
Many people are waiting for you. You should get going.
I hope you take care after what happened today.
Why did I get tofu?
Seriously. People will think that she got discharged from prison.
She was at the police station, so she should eat it.
Of course. Eat it.
You need to eat white tofu
to keep out of dirty troubles.
So eat it and poop it out.
Yes.
You really surprised me this time.
What?
I thought you had grudges against her.
Grudges? No way.
It's natural to favor your family,
so I had no choice but to take my husband's side.
But a part of me felt indebted to her.
So I paid off my debt this time.
Stop worrying about it and eat your tofu.
There you go.
Technically, all of us have been to the police station. We need tofu too.
You're right. Please give one tofu each to all the police station visitors.
I'll pay for yours too.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- Great. - How much is the total?
Then would it be okay to have a soft drink as well?
Of course.
All right. That's a good idea.
One, two, three, four, five and six…
- I'll be back. - I was asking her only for three of us.
Ms. Oh, you're the best.
Thank you.
I feel so much better.
By the way, wasn't Jeong-suk absolutely insane?
She didn't even slap him. She suddenly smacked his head.
I didn't know Jeong-suk was so good at swearing.
- Yes. - She went, "Shut your trap!"
- Yes. - Really?
I don't think I said "trap."
Did I?
I found it so satisfying.
That's right.
I don't think I'd be able to say anything in front of someone like that.
That's right.
Jeong-suk, how are you so gutsy?
Did you get coached?
Come to think of it, I did.
- What? - What?
Who coached you?
Flashman.
What?
And…
there was one other person.
PERPETRATOR: KIM GYEONG-SIK
HAN JEONG-SUK
Shut your mouth, you perverted freak!
This is Detective Kim Do-hyeon of Geumje Police Station.
Detective, it's me, Han Jeong-suk.
Hello.
Is something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong.
Are you free tomorrow by any chance?
Tomorrow?
Yes.
GEUMJE POLICE STATION
What? What's this?
Did you pull an all-nighter?
Yes.
The report on the Kim Gyeong-sik case is on your desk.
Man, things are moving along so speedily.
Thanks to you, I'll be able to save face.
It's suspicious.
What do you mean?
It must've been a hassle, but he visited her to investigate
and stayed up all night to finish the report.
He cares a lot about that in-home sales rep.
I smell something.
I am sure…
that he wants a discount on the adult products.
What?
Adult products for men are quite expensive.
A power ring is 10,000 won.
A fragrant condom is 3,000 won a piece.
A tiny bottle of massage oil is 10,000 won.
By the way, how do you know
such details?
You sound like someone who wants those items.
Gosh, what? As if I need them!
So stop spouting nonsense
and focus your attention on Du-seok.
He got discharged from prison today.
We'll have a lot to deal with from now on.
Man, watch where you're going.
It's nice to be back home.
It has been a while.
EOM DAE-GEUN, LEE JU-RI
Sixty-two percent?
The compatibility is worse than I expected.
Who cares?
We can work together to make up for the missing 38%.
Thirty-eight percent.
- What are you doing? - You startled me!
You startled me, Mr. Choi.
Did I startle you?
I'm terribly sorry.
There are a ton of medicines that need to be sorted.
- I mean-- - But I shouldn't have startled
an idle employee.
- I was-- - Right?
- I was-- - I feel so bad
that I don't know what to do!
I was about to do it, okay?
Why is this fly being so loud at this very moment?
He'll be the death of me.
- Hello. - Welcome.
I've been so queasy these days.
I keep having an upset stomach.
Give me your hand.
- Okay. - The other one.
Okay.
How does it feel?
I feel nothing.
Right? You seem to be okay. This part isn't hard or anything.
You didn't eat anything bad, did you?
Yesterday evening, I had tofu with other people.
But everyone else is fine,
so I don't think it's food poisoning.
Just give me some digestion medicine.
- Please. - Okay.
By any chance…
Yes?
Is there a chance you're pregnant?
Me?
It hasn't been long since I gave birth.
I'm still breastfeeding her.
It is only a myth that breastfeeding prevents pregnancy,
so you should check and make sure.
Gosh, I have four children.
I'd know if I were pregnant.
Just give me the digestion medicine.
Okay then.
Damn it.
Hello?
It's me, Du-seok.
So you're alive.
I wondered if something had happened since you never visited.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't visit you since I was busy with my children.
I understand.
In any case, let's meet up.
Where do you live?
Don't tell me you still live in that studio.
You're far from the brightest when it comes to life.
Hey.
There's a job coming up.
Do you want to join me?
- What? - I know that you quit,
but this one is really safe.
You have four children.
You should live in an apartment with two rooms and a living room.
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
You might think otherwise,
but I'm perfectly happy.
If you're going to say such nonsense, don't call me again.
I'd feel embarrassed if you shut me down like that.
Don't be so certain.
No man steals money because he wants to.
It's the situation that drives him.
- You're back. - Yes.
- Did you buy digestion medicine? - Yes, I took it.
Hold on. Let me make some porridge.
Okay.
Detective.
You got here first.
Yes. Please take a seat.
Have you thought about my offer?
Yes.
I came here to say no.
I'm really thankful that you want to help me
find my parents.
But I think this is a problem I should solve
by myself.
I think you felt the same.
You felt bad when you saw me bottle up my problems
without asking for anyone's help.
Oh, that's--
It's nothing complicated.
Why don't we just begin?
If I'm not much help,
you can cut me off heartlessly then.
Come on in.
I only sleep here, so there's nothing to see.
I see.
It's in the basement, so I'll go turn the lights on.
Okay.
You can come downstairs now.
Okay.
All right.
Be careful.
Wow.
There is so much material.
Yes.
I thought it was very likely that the woman who left me
at the church nursery was from Geumje.
But I'm not sure if she still lives here.
Are you saying that one of these women
might be your mother?
I don't know.
I don't know if she was my mother or someone who found me by chance.
I narrowed down the candidates in order to hear the story myself.
I found a new clue.
A clue?
BABIES KEEP DISAPPEARING WITH THE FIRE
KIDNAP AFTER ARSON? FIFTH CASE
I had no idea that there were such cases in Geumje.
So this person set houses on fire
and kidnapped babies amidst the chaos.
That's right.
In many cases, babies from poor families
were the targets.
How did this happen to so many babies?
At first, they thought it was a simple disappearance.
They found out belatedly that it was a serial kidnapping case
and switched to a public investigation.
Had the case been public from the start, there would've been fewer victims.
By the way,
may I ask you why you think this case is related to you?
My goodness.
It's a burn scar I've had ever since I got left at the nursery.
The woman who left me there said
that she found me without my parents
after a big fire in the town.
And…
I keep having the same dream.
I don't know when it began, but I've been having the same nightmare.
I don't remember the last time
I slept peacefully.
Now,
we need to look into this case.
Yes.
We need to reinvestigate from the start
and take a different approach.
Then you'll definitely need
my help.
I often meet up with women in the town,
so I'll interview them.
I think they'll feel more comfortable talking to me than to you.
I'm sorry about leaving so suddenly. I lost track of time.
I should've helped you clean up.
It's okay.
I'll walk you home.
It's okay. The bus stop is right out front.
Please go back inside.
POSSIBILITY OF BEING THE VICTIM OF SERIAL KIDNAPPING AFTER ARSON
IF HE'S THE VICTIM OF THE CRIME,
HIS PARENTS MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR HIM
They might be looking for me?
What? It's Mom.
Mom!
My goodness.
You said I was the best when I bought you an ice cream.
But you don't even hesitate to ditch me at the sight of your mom.
I understand.
There's no one in the world a child loves more than his mom.
You're right.
Mom is the best in the world.
Did things go well?
- What were you up to? - Well…
What? My notebook!
Why is the door open?
Detective.
I don't know when it began, but I've been having the same nightmare.
I don't remember the last time
I slept peacefully.
Could it be…
Detective.
Are you okay?
Did you have a nightmare?
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
We should do something to attract them.
Why don't we give movie tickets to those who attend in-home sales events?
Jeong-suk,
you're so driven with the branch manager promotion coming up.
Why did you get involved with that bastard and do something that'd get in your way
for the rest of your life?
It's been more than 30 years.
Catching the culprit won't make a difference
since the statute of limitations has expired.
She could think we're a couple who are shopping.
Let's pretend to be a couple who are getting married soon.
When she lets her guard down,
we'll ask questions as naturally as possible.
It's just that when I'm with you,
I become a bit confused.
I want to check.
