I see, so you're from Gyeong Yangdong?
Yes, I am from there.
I was born in Yong Pa, but was living
in Yangdong from the age of one.
Are you familiar to that city? Have you ever come there?
Yes, I had been there once when I was in high school.
When you were in school?
Why?
Actually, I went there looking for someone.
An aunt sent me there to look for her daughter.
What for?
That's a long story.
Actually, she owned a restaurant there.
And she had been looking for her daughter since very long.
Hold on.
Whom did you meet?
The lady who owns a noodle joint in
Yangdong city that you tole me about,
is her name by any chance...
Forget it. I am not sure.
But I know that...
What's wrong with you? Are you alright?
The lady you met in that city
is my mom.
She disappeared 20 years ago.
She owned a noodle joint in Geong Yangdong.
She had a daughter and that's me!
Tell me where you met her.
She was undergoing treatment in mom's hospital.
But as far as I know, her name was Kim Min Joo.
Oh!
Do you remember her face?
That lady whose name is Kim Min Joo could be my mom.
This lady...
I don't think she is your mom.
I had treated her ten years back and so, I don't remember clearly.
But she definitely isn't like this.
Do you have any of her photos or medical records?
I am sure, she is my mom.
That hospital does not keep the photos of the patients.
And this is too old for its records to be retrieved.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help.
No, it's not your fault.
Sorry to have disturbed you.
Yi Deum, listen.
There's a way to find Kim Min Joo.
Mom, do you remember I went to the police station at Yangdong?
To find her family.
And the officer I met there knew her quite well.
Officer? Who was he?
Court detective Baek Sang Ho?
He worked only for two months here and then he quit his job.
He even left this city.
But... Why are you looking for him?
Actually, we're looking for someone.
Who are you looking for? Maybe, I can help.
We can't find her this way.
At least give me her address.
There would be many women by the name Kim Min Joo in this city.
Don't you have any other information?
Let it be. Thank you.
Are you alright?
Yes, I am. This isn't happening for the first time.
It happens every time.
I've looked for my mom in every hospital in the city.
I thought someone sold her off.
That is why, I kept looking for her even amidst my work.
Whenever a deadbody was found, I used to get so afraid.
But unless I did not check the body, I wasn't able to work.
At midnight, I used to go to the morgue looking for her.
But I...
I should have searched more.
Was Kim Min Joo also looking...
Was she also looking for her daughter?
Something might have happened with mom.
And that is the reason she couldn't find me.
My mom would be crying, thinking about me too.
I should have looked more intensely for her.
What should I do?
Sorry, please give me a minute.
Just give me a minute.
What shall I do?
I feel like crying.
Stop crying...
What is it?
'One of my friend is there, he has handled it.'
'Please... Can you find the address of her house?'
'The address you gave me is that of a tuition center.'
'No one there knows Kim Min Joo.'
'Sir, this lady is critically ill, right now.'
'And it's very important that she meets her daughter.'
'What did you say her name is, Kim Min Joo?'
'What? Do you know her?'
'Yes, I do. She had a daughter who was killed in an accident.'
'Due to shock, she lost her mental balance.'
'She requests every other man to find her daughter.'
'Like you, many others have come here.'
'I see...'
'So then... Is there no one else in her family?'
'What? Family?'
'Yes, Baek Sang Ho speaking.'
'Yes, I had told you that I would call.'
'Yes.'
'I got it.'
Koh Jae Sook's son came to see you?
Yes, I made up a story and sent him back.
But I think we must shift Kwak Young Sil from there.
Sang Ho...
Haven't you run in a 100 meters race while you were in school?
What?
Assume that you're at the starting line.
And a pebble got into your shoes. What will you do then?
Will you remove the pebble from inside the shoe
or will keep running, no matter what?
So, you want Kwak Young Sil to be...
You're quite intelligent.
Yeongpa's Dong-go is like a house to our party.
If you support our party, we'll support your party as well.
Gold has no worth these days.
I heard that your wife has gone to the US to meet your son.
Seol...
Take a seat.
She is a budding actress.
She wants your help to build a career.
Do you know there is a hidden lobby in Hyung-Jae hotel?
Yes.
Was someone there?
Was Jo Gab Soo there?
I went straight to the room and so, did not see anybody.
This is a very big clue.
I will not involve you in this anymore.
I don't want to give up so soon. You please don't worry.
We cannot take any action in haste.
We need to prepare well.
She is my sister.
Hope you haven't forgotten her.
I am fighting for her sake.
I don't want to lose you.
I will call you soon.
'The number you're trying to reach is currently not available.'
Hello. I'm Yi Deum speaking.
From Gyeong Yangdong city.
I heard you were her classmate.
Do you have any information about my mom?
Sorry, I disturbed you.
Please let me know if you get any information.
Thank you.
Hey, what have you done to yourself?
I don't want to listen to anything right in the morning.
Neither do I want to tell you anything.
Come with me. It's something important.
Are you out of your mind?
You want me to climb this mountain now?
Of course, you are not here to breathe fresh air.
I hate climbing.
And when people have to come down anyway, why do they climb?
This wall is straight. I am not Spider-Man to climb this.
What are you doing?
Tell me what are you up to.
Now, give it a try. It will be fun.
Good luck.
This boy is being too sweet today.
He has brought me on a date.
I won't be able to do it. Not at all.
I cannot breathe.
I cannot do it.
What's this?
This is madness. Who does this?
I will die.
No! Mr Yeo...
How was it? Did you have fun?
I felt like I should break your head today.
It's hurting so bad.
Easy... - Move!
Have we reached home?
My shoulders! I think, it's all broken.
Wasn't that a little difficult?
I was almost dead.
Was this a date? It looked like Army training.
Your focus was somewhere else at least.
Where else would I focus? I was just about to die.
But didn't you enjoy it?
While doing all that, you completely forgot how sad you were.
And look, the entire day has passed. You didn't even realise.
Don't be depressed, Yi-Deum.
It's not your fault that you could not find your mom.
You have already suffered a lot.
You have to get a hold of yourself.
Forget everything and move on, please.
Wait a minute.
I have something for you.
Here.
What is it?
See it for yourself.
I know a professor who processes old photos and makes it new.
I gave him her poster and he made a photograph out of it.
Doesn't that look new?
If you keep it with you always,
you will never feel lonely.
Whenever you miss her, just look at it.
Thank you for the photo, Mr Yeo.
You're welcome.
One more thing... Come on, let us date each other from today.
Answer in yes or no. Don't beat around the bush.
Yi-Deum...
What is it? Why are you quiet?
Why are you taking so long in replying?
Make it fast. Say yes or no.
She types so fast!
Look, I am not in a mood today.
What?
Good night.
What did you say?
So then let us start from tomorrow.
Or maybe, the day after.
Whenever you say so.
What... Listen...
Are you sleeping?
Yeo, you slept?!
Wake up! You...
Can we meet?
Yes. How old are you?
32 years.
You are too old.
Where are you now?
I have a car that can take us anywhere.
Will you pay me in advance?
First, you send me a picture of yours.
Beautiful...
You show me your photo.
Well... what is this?
Cyber Team, detective Kim.
Please go home.
Oh, no...
Though a Chat App, sex trade is carried out.
We're investigating the middle man right now.
And he has escaped several times and so, he is also called as Eel.
How many girls would be in his contacts then?
The information we've got is, around ten to fifteen girls.
And their age group is middle school to university level students.
This case should have come to us long ago. - You're right.
I thought we'd conduct a sting operation.
I even downloaded the App and made a
fake profile of a 16 year old girl.
I got 30 messages in 3 seconds.
What's your problem?
I made the profile for the case.
I have a question.
The pimp Eel, is he still roaming around freely?
Why is that so? Why aren't we sending him behind the bars?
What's the point of discussing all this now?
Oh! Is it that these pimps have a deal with the cops,
like we see in movies?
They know all the police officers very well.
So, the police wants us to help.
Right from the arrest to interrogation, we'll work together.
Does that mean, Mr Koo will go for a site visit too?
Posing like a customer?
Me? - No.
How can he go?
His looks are that of a gentleman. He will be caught immediately.
Mr Yeo should go there.
Why should he go?
Excuse me, Ms Ma...
I will go.
Did anybody ask you?
Look at Eel's face.
He looks so dangerous.
And how will he be able to fight that beast?
What if he finds out, he is a detective?
And what if Eel has a pistol or a gun?
Not even I will be with him this time, to save his life.
If you are so concerned about your junior, you must tag along too.
Should I go, too?
She is really crazy.
Thanks for coming here. - No problem.
This is the chat room created by Eel.
How do you know that?
He maintains the same name so that his
regular customers can identify him.
Does he tell this personally to each of his clients?
Yes, he does that.
He isn't afraid of anyone. He is very dangerous.
Okay, let us join the chat room and check.
Have you done this ever before?
I don't think you'll be able to do this.
Yi-Deum, you seem to forget
that I was a psychiatrist before.
Yes.
Are you out of your mind?
You are using your real name, you fool!
Use a fake name like Smarty or Mr Handsome.
It's open at least.
Hello, Ms...
How are you?
Nice to meet you.
What's your age?
My age, 34.
I think I am older than you.
Where are you right now?
Right here...
Maybe, in your heart.
Would you like to...
I thought, let me get friendly with her first and then...
Friendly, for what?
Like how a counsellor treats his client, before he starts counseling.
Forget about all that. Chat like you're a 17 year old boy.
Try again.
How are you?
What are you doing?
Want to meet me?
Should I call you first?
No, tell me the amount that you will pay me.
What?
What do you mean?
I didn't get you...
Give it to me.
What's up?
Can we meet now?
How much will you pay me? - 200.
Alright.
Aren't you 17 years old?
Yes, I am. Else, you may claim for a refund.
Send me your photo, right now.
Have a look.
Here you go.
Okay, meet me outside Yeon Shin station in 8 minutes.
Did you see that?
Okay, Yeon Shin Station. Let us go.
Hey, cutie. Let us go.
I think we must call for a back-up.
Eel's girls are as fast as him, in running.
Detective Lee and I shall guard the front and back doors.
You please hide
somewhere close by so that you are safe.
Okay. Good luck to you both.
If it was up to me,
I would have gone this side.
First, you pay me.
Many boys refuse to pay once they meet. That is why...
I haven't done anything wrong. It's not my mistake.
Don't worry, the fact is that we aren't here for you.
Where is the one who has hired you?
Who are you talking about? - Eel, of course.
Isn't he your boss?
If you help us, you won't have to go to jail.
Okay, fine.
Will you let me go, if I tell you about him?
May I use the washroom first?
'The police is here.'
'I'm escaping, you escape too.'
Wow, you're an expert at climbing.
Be careful while climbing down.
I climbed many fences when I was your age.
If you fall from that height, you will get three to four fractures.
It'll be good if you go back in.
Help Mr. Yeo.
Come on in, hold my hand.
Wow, you're really smart. You deleted the entire chat.
But of no use. We'll recover it.
So do it.
Tell me, where is Eel?
And where does he stay?
Eel? He might be in some restaurant or in the sky.
Don't act over smart.
Where is your broker who makes you do these things?
What is a broker?
Don't waste my time and tell me.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Should I call your parents?
They'll explain everything to you.
Do whatever you want. I don't know.
What? Acting again?
Do you want to go to the washroom again? -No.
It's paining a lot.
I don't have any sympathy for you.
I'm saying the truth.
It hurts a lot.
I think, something's happening to her.
Let's go in.
Okay.
Hey! What's wrong?
Are you okay?
These girls sell themselves but
doesn't think about how it's affecting their bodies.
How is she at fault?
People buying them with money are wrong.
I wish men like them would have their
thoughts written on their faces.
So that we can run as soon as we see them.
Ms. Son, why are you blushing
looking at your phone?
Whose text is it?
Nothing like that.
Oh yes,
you went on a blind date.
Did you like the boy too much?
How does he look?
He looks simple like all the boys.
He is very hard-working, honest and has no bad habits.
To be honest, he is exactly whom I wanted.
Wow. That is great.
Eat your food now.
Hello everyone. Wow.
I think, we'll have to work till late today.
Does it get so crowded everyday?
This is not because of the case.
It's worse during the holidays.
The police can arrest thousands a day if they wanted. -What?
So many?!
You're back?
Ms. Son, what happened to you?
You're here?
The STD spread to the uterus and that caused the miscarriage.
We gave her two bottles of blood during the surgery.
But due to loss of blood she now has anemia.
Didn't her family take care of her?
At least they could've got her to the hospital before this condition.
Get her family.
Yes, she is my grand daughter.
And to save me she has been working since the age of 15.
She doesn't spend a penny on herself not even on food and clothes
she just pays my hospital bills and gets me medicines.
And hence I cannot face my son.
Now, her new boss is really nice.
He takes good care of her.
And pays her a lot because of her hard work.
So, I feel very happy now.
Still, I feel bad that she couldn't study.
Okay so tell me
Did Soo Ah anytime...
One minute please.
Hello?
How are you my darling?
What?
My grand daughter wants to talk to you.
Yes?
I'll tell you everything.
What?
Please don't say anything to my grand mother.
I'll tell you everything about my boss.
If you don't come here in ten minutes, I won't say you anything.
We should leave.
What's wrong? Is Soo Ah alright?
No! I was scolding those girls.
Who do wrong business to earn money.
You've caught me without any reason.
Oh.
So, tell me. Why were you naked?
It was hot.
Was it summer season?
I don't find any fun with my wife. She is old now.
There is no feel in it.
How will it bother me if I go to some other girl?
Are you understanding me?
My work is just to question you.
I am a human, Ma'am.
Eating at home everyday isn't fun. Sometimes we want to eat out.
It feels good.
The food at jail tastes good too.
I feel bad because you won't get home food from now.
You'll have to eat at jail.
You're really smart.
You're still here? Wait in the hall.
Go.
Take it. - Keep it here.
Oh! Your report is the worst.
Disgusting man! You should've been in jail.
You're right.
Mi Young!
What's wrong? Are you upset?
Leave me.
Why is my sweetheart's mood off?
What did you say?
I want to say that talk to the prosecutor
and remove the charges implied on me.
Listen to what I say.
Take my statement and delete the records.
Go away from here.
Wait.
Why are you showing me so much of attitude?
You've turned old and no one is going to marry you.
I'll marry you too.
You... disgusting man!
Who are you?
How dare you?
Mr. Koo?
Hey! You are as rotten as stale food.
You are grosser than the mud in the sewer.
I wish you rot and die.
I wish you rot in the jail and drink water from the toilet.
??
I want you to die horribly.
Okay,
I should leave.
She has gone mad.
Are you okay?
I am okay, are you alright?
You are hurt not me.
Don't worry about me.
Scared little fellow. He ran away.
Where did you learn so many abusive words from?
I learned all that from them.
You got a chance to use them.
Good.
Experts say, chances of Jo Gab Soo becoming the Mayor has increased.
There's a huge difference in the rating of him and Kim Moon Sung.
Kim Moon Sung's rating has decreased by 15%.
And so, all the experts are saying that
Jo Gab Soo will be the next mayor of Yeong Pa.
Further news, after a break.
Sang Ho, listen...
It's been a long time we haven't gone there.
Let us go today.
Okay.
I have cried twice after coming here.
You know,
when was the first time I cried?
When the prosecutors' office had rejected you.
Because you passed with the help of recommendation.
You're right.
Those were the days.
It was raining during winters.
And I had failed.
I felt that I wouldn't be able to achieve anything in life.
And tears started rolling down my cheeks.
That is when I realized
and came to know that I could even cry.
And do you remember,
when I cried for the second time?
That is when you went to jail for a crime that I had committed.
That day,
I came here
and cried bitterly.
Sang Ho...
All thanks to you for whatever I am today.
I don't know why are you saying all this.
Till I reach Blue House,
Sang Ho,
will you be with me?
I will be with you always.
Do you have any news about when is Min Ho coming?
He is our new lawyer, Mr Baek's brother.
Hello, ma'am. I am Min Ho.
We've met earlier.
I didn't understand something.
Will you work under me?
Brother says I will be a successful lawyer soon if I assist someone.
And he has also said that
you are the best lawyer in the city.
I will learn quite a lot of things from you.
There they are.
How is Kung Soo Ah?
Is her surgery over? - Yes.
I'll go and talk to her. You get
information from them in the meanwhile.
Come, let us go there and talk.
Yes, I am fine.
Why should I worry as long as you are here?
My child will take care of everything.
What do you mean?
I mean, the people who came home
cleaned up the entire house.
And also fixed a new tube-light as the one here wasn't working.
They told me to feed you good food.
They have also left some money.
What did you say? But why did they do that?
Because, my child works so hard and does a good job.
People in the higher authority
are so happy with your work
that they sent those good people to our place. Right, dear?
Bye, grandma.
Come on, Su-Ah, get up.
I saw you talking on phone.
What are you saying?
Now tell me everything.
You told me that you'll tell me about Eel.
What did you say?
Why did you clean my house and leave money there?
Well, that's good. I must remain mum then.
What else could you have done for me other than that?
You're a child and are unwell. So, I was
controlling my anger all this while.
But you took us to be fools.
I'll go to your grandma right now and tell her
that you sell yourself to earn all this money.
Be quiet and stay away from my grandma. Okay?
You don't know she has been unwell for a long time now.
I know that.
I'm a stranger and still, I was shocked to see your condition.
Have you ever thought what would her
state be? She might die on the spot.
But why are you telling me all this?
What? - Your parents would have raised you.
No one would have harassed you thinking
that you were poor and an orphan.
I could never tell anyone that I'm unwell or tired.
Do you even know how it feels to grow up without your parents around?
For me...
My grandma means the world to me.
She is my world.
And without her, I will die.
That's your problem.
If you don't co-operate with me, I will have to tell her everything.
I am not going to spare the pimp who
forces young children into flesh trade.
Now tell me quickly...
His number is saved on my phone as Chicken Boss.
I know nothing else.
I meet him only to collect my money.
Yes, I know that.
'Your parents would have raised you.'
'Listen, my mom is missing.'
'Ma'am, this is my mom. If you see her anywhere, please call me.'
I want all the details of this number.
This will be unfair.
He will be alert if he finds out that we've got his number.
Mr Yeo, we can find out about him only through Soo Ah.
We must take her help to catch him.
No, we cannot do that.
She hasn't recovered completely yet.
We will not compel her.
First, you trace this number and then
we'll decide what needs to be done. Okay?
You buy a new phone.
It's an extra pair. I have a lot of pairs anyway.
I have met many children like you, in all these years of my career.
But I have never met a fool like you who cannot take care of herself.
What can I do?
Now, wear this socks or people will mistake you to be poor.
These are so bad.
Who wears long socks these days?
So then don't wear it. Give it to your grandma.
I saw that her socks were torn.
Call me if you want to talk to me about Eel. Got it?
I'll see.
You're very naughty.
Okay, I'll leave now.
Deum...
Is he caught?
No, it's not that. - Please excuse me.
Hello... Yes...
Yes. Fine, I'll be right there.
I will have to leave as something
urgent has come up. I'll talk later.
Hello, Mr Koo, I'll give you a government
ID. Can you please check and confirm that?
I'll drop you home.
Today was a good day.
Come, let us have some champagne together.
I'll take you to Kingdom.
Call those men back.
Okay.
Uncle, you...
Tae-Gyu...
What are you doing here?
I came on a vacation.
Sang Ho...
Don't you keep a watch on him?
I am sorry.
Uncle,
why are you doing this to me?
This is my dad's hotel and it'll be mine one day.
You idiot! You fool!
You are of no use!
Get lost!
If I see you here again, I'll forget that
you are my nephew.
And I'll kill you that day.
Do you understand?
Oh God!
Who is he to stop me?
He is alive only because of my aunt.
Where will you go now?
Take this.
Read it and give me the reports till morning.
The Kingdom?
Stay carefully.
If they get to know, you're dead.
Okay, bye.
You want the reports tomorrow, right?
Hello?
Soo Ah!
Sir, you?
Hold on for a second...
Yes, Sir. Tell me.
Did you give my number to the police?
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to give,
but I had no other choice.
Doesn't matter. We are friends, right?
Now do me a favour in return.
No, Sir.
I'm really unwell.
You're not well?
Why? What happened?
I went through a surgery.
So you should've told me earlier.
Okay tell me, did you die?
No, right?
You're still alive.
Sir, please one day...
Just give me a day, sir. - Oh God!
Look, Soo Ah,
I'm trying to explain it to you nicely.
You explain it to her.
Soo Ah... What...
What is happening?
Do your work properly and be brave, okay?
You'll get your reward if everything goes well.
These are the security videos that you asked for.
This man
was searching for your mom while I was at Janghyeon police station.
That prosecutor told me
that your mom had some important information
about a case.
My mom?
Yes.
You were quite small back then and so,
I thought it would make no sense to you.
But now is the right time to tell you all of this.
And I think, I'm not that late.
Hello child, you two...
Is there something going on between you two?
Go, son. You may go.
Yes, tell me, Mr Koo.
Something's strange about Kim Mi Jung.
What is it?
I looked at her ID and it says Jung Gap Soon.
And her address isn't in Janghyeon-
Dong but in Jeongpo-Dong in Bhusan.
Are you absolutely sure?
I have checked thrice.
Baek Sang Ho?!
You're here? You should've called before you came.
Did you eat?
Yes, mom, I did.
What's wrong? You look disturbed.
No, I'm fine.
Mom...
We spoke about Kim Min Joo, right?
I've found her reports.
I've found something strange.
When I searched for the ID number given on the chart,
it belonged to someone else.
The name and address were completely different.
Is it?
Mom...
Do you know anything about it?
Ms Ma?
