Missing Noir M
Korean name Gil Soo Hyeon. As of February 7, 2015, he submitted his resignation to the FBI.
What was his reason for resigning?
That we don't know.
What was his reason for picking you?
Six -Three - One
The number of people he shot is six.
The number of people who died in the L.A. riots is three. Then, what is the meaning of the next number one?
If you can't press (the plunger),
I'll help you.
So why did you call in such a dangerous person from the start?
That's why I had you keep an eye on him, so he wouldn't go overboard.
You want me to spy on a colleague?
How come you didn't trust me?
Did you think I would fire my gun for the wrong reason?
That glass shard,
I didn't see it.
In the end, the person who should have lived, died, and the person who has no right to live, survived. That truth...
I hope you and I will never forget that.
Oh. I remembered you questioned yourself.
The suspect has been arrested, but was justice delivered?
How about now?
The suspect is dead.
So is your so-called justice delivered?
If I could turn back time,
would I have made a different choice?
15 days ago
Hey! Stop right there!
Where are you!
Come out!
Come out now.
Why aren't you coming out?
Come out, you rat! Bit*h!
Relax, since we can see you.
Okay, hey!
Come out. Come on out now.
Hey, you wench. If you're going to hide, you'd better hide well.
Because the next time you get caught, it will be your funeral day.
Let's go, guys.

- Why? Why? Don't do this! Why are you doing this?- Let me go!
Just leave me alone so I can die.
Don't do this.
Jeong Seon Mi?
Hello, I came because someone was looking for you.
I love my mom's smell.
Aigoo. What good smell from this old woman?
Mom, can't you skip work for one day?
Sleeping during the day with your lap as my pillow,
I really wanted to try it.
Yeah, I did too, but I have to go to the temple today.
The monks will be waiting. Instead,
let's sleep with our arms tightly around each other tonight.
We have to do it though.
Innocent Heart, Part 1
Please find the missing Jeong Seon Mi!
Jeong Seon Mi Six years old at the time of disappearance.
May 20, 1985, Mullae-dong, Yeongdeungpo County
wearing a floral pattern dress and blue patent leather shoes.
Please find the missing Seon Mi!
Ladies and gentlemen, after our broadcast a month ago,
Grandmother Oh Jeong Yim and her biological daughter who had been lost for 30 years and recently found
are both here in the studio right now.
Yes, in order for us to congratulate those people,
we have prepared a surprise event.
Yes, we weren't able to tell you ahead of time, so I think you're a bit flustered.
But, you're curious as to what it is, aren't you?
It's...
a DNA test to confirm parentage.
Oh, you're a bit surprised, right?
The results that haven't been disclosed to anyone
are in my hands.
So shall we open it?
Grandmother Oh Jeong Yim and Jeong Seon Mi's
DNA results are...
Yes, as expected, with 99.99% certainty,
they say that she is your biological daughter.
Congratulations.
The one who was in the top-ten real-time searches this whole month,
you all know the soup-and-rice restaurant grandmother's story, right?
But they say that that grandmother's daughter went missing
again last night.
She's a grown woman; couldn't it be a simple runaway scenario?
But according to the grandmother,
she had no reason to run away, and after her daughter disappeared last night,
she says that there was a strange call.
Hello? Hello? Please speak.
Are you Seon Mi? Seon Mi. Seon Mi, hello?
You fuc*—
The call originated from a temple called, Seongbulsa.
They say it was a temple that this grandmother went to often.
Seeing as he's cursing, he's probably not a monk.
Sure. This time too, let's try to run this one down with our feet.
But Detective Oh hasn't come in yet?
Why is a person who has never once been late acting like this?
Aren't you going to work?
What time is it?
It's already past 9 am.
Really?
- There's something wrong, right? - Is there something?
There is.
What is it? What's it about?
I'm late.
I'll clean up.
In the end, the person who should have lived, died,
and the person who has no right to live survived. That truth...
I hope you and I will never forget that.

No service.
Excuse me, Monk.
What brings you here?
I'm the police.
I came because I had something to ask you about.
Yes, come sit over here.
I saw that there's no cell service inside the Buddhist temple.
If you want to call out, is this the only phone you can use?
Yes, that's true.
As you can see, the mountain is quite high,
so the signal can't be caught.
By chance, did someone borrow this phone around early afternoon yesterday?
Yesterday afternoon.
Oh, I remember.
Yesterday, there was a tense man who asked to use the phone.
He said that he'd only make one call, but he made several.
Several?
May I check the phone?
I don't know if they didn't answer the phone, but he hit redial several times.
He was so foul mouthed.
He kept cursing and cursing...
You don't have security cameras.
No, we don't have anything like that here.
By chance,
do you remember his face?
Of course, it was only yesterday.
Then could you help us draw a sketch?
Seo Joon.
010-7899-0119
will you investigate this number?
Yes, Sir.
Yes, Violent Crime Unit.
Excuse me?
Yes, I understand.
Squad Chief.
The Patrol Office just got a tip.
A plastic bag with a body part was found in Yangji Park.
First thing in the morning. Damn it.
I'll go out to that scene.
What about the special exclusive Missing Team?
Why did you come here?
I need to focus on something right now,
so please try not to provoke me today.
- What about the rest of the pieces? - We're searching the area now,
but nothing has turned up yet.
- That's strange. - What is?
Usually cut-up bodies are missing faces and hands
since the objective is to hide the identity.
But this is the opposite.
They only threw away the hand, and in a place that was easy to find as if to show us.
And on top of that, the fingerprints weren't destroyed either.
- Collect the fingerprints, and start by identifying who it is.- Oh, yes.
- Identification Team. - Yes.
- Please collect the fingerprints here quickly. - Yes.
This is the artist’s rendering of the man who called after your daughter disappeared.
By chance, have you ever seen him before?
No. I've never seen him.
Well, was there anything different yesterday about Jeong Seon Mi, compared to normal?
If you tell me to really think about it,
yesterday was the day I go to the temple.
Seon Mi tried quite strongly to dissuade me,
asking if I couldn't just stay at home with her.
Once a month, we go to Seon Mi Ok restaurant.
We make a lunch offering to the monks,
and even though I told her it was a day that I absolutely had to go,
she was obstinately throwing a tantrum for me not to go.
I have to do it now.
Jeong Seon Mi wanted Grandmother not to go to the temple,
and there was a strange call from the temple.
You fuc*—
Was there a reason that she shouldn't go to the temple?
Grandmother.
Is there a reason you think that your daughter is missing and didn't run away?
It's because I have a hunch about it.
There's no doubt that my Seon Mi was taken by those punks.
Those punks?
Get up, wench.
That's why I told you to repay the money quickly.
Hey, I told you to hide well.
I told you not to get caught.
What are you doing?!
- What are you doing right now?! - Who are you?
Who are you? What are you doing to this child?!
Grandmother, this woman took off with my money, so I'm really not in a good mood.
Grandmother, step away. Go!
I'm her mother.
If you have something to say, say it to me.
Crazy wench, seriously.
At first they said the debt was $7,000.
Even after that, they said that there was debt left
so I gave $5,000 once, $8,000 once.
I gave it to them.
The obviously noticeable alley in front of Seon Mi Ok restaurant.
But there are no security cameras?
Yes, Seo Joon.
The phone number you gave belongs to an unregistered phone. And, it's turned off, so it's hard to trace.
Unregistered phone?
I understand.
Can you look into Jeong Seon Mi and Oh Jeong Im's bank records
-and also Jeong Seon Mi's past before coming to Seon Mi. - Ok.
- Yes, Sir.-Okay.
Thank you.
Sunbae, the fingerprint analysis came back.
Name is Kang Woo Seok, age 60.
He's got seven priors for fraud.
Fraud?
Kang Woo Seok Record
About three months ago, did you see the owner of this house? [ Hand dismemberment victim Kang Woo Seok's house ]
I can't recall.
Please, think carefully. Something like a loud noise.
Take a look at this.
- He was dismembered here.- He was dismembered in his own home.
Something is strange.
Is there anything more from the bathroom?
Yes, there are some hairs, but they belong to at least two people.
Hey.
- Yes.- Didn't you say Kang Woo Seok was a single old man?
Yes, according to the record, he had no family and was alone.
A woman he lived with...
Motel California.
People's Republic of China Passport
Jang Mi Yeong, Female, Chinese.
The passport had expired.
The cohabitant was an ethnic Korean who grew up and lived in China as an illegal alien.
Mr. Kang? He lived with his daughter.
What? His daughter?
- Is this the person?- Yes, that's right, Mi Yeong.
When the nationality and the last name differ, what do you mean his daughter...?
Mr. Kang called her his daughter, so all of us here called her his daughter.
- Putting it it nicely, we called her his daughter, but she was his slave.- Slave?
Mi Yeong is a mute, but she's a very nice girl.
She worked here for three years doing dishes until her hands swelled up supporting Mr. Kang.
How was their relationship?
Usually, they were affectionate,
but when Mr. Kang got pissed off, he beat her badly.
Four dollars. Thank you.
At the drop of a hat, she had purple bruises on her face, and she couldn't even say why.
She was in such a pitiful situation.
Wait. Jang Mi Yeong bought birth control pills?
Did she have a lover?
Saying this kind of thing is a bit awkward, but I think Mr. Kang did...
What? I heard Kang Woo Seok treated Jang Mi Yeong affectionately as if she was his daughter.
He did but...
that could have been a different type of affection...
Dang, I don't know. It just felt that way. That's all I'm saying.
Well, when did you see the two of them last?
About two or three months ago. I haven't seen them together for some time.
She was assaulted and sexually exploited by a con man and a geezer and disappeared after Kang Woo Seok died.
What is this now?
Yeah, I think we'll have to file charges against a Korean Chinese.
- Why are you doing this?! - Let go. Leave me alone to die.
White lace curtains on stained wallpaper.
Bible and porn.
Between the plain clothes, a sexy slip...
What is this inconsistent concept?
Oh, that? I made the tip to the TV station so she could meet her biological mother.
She had these items that she'd hold every night and cry, but on TV that grandmother
said her daughter would have these items and put them out. And, they were a perfect match.
But how was she when she lived here?
Aiyoo, the loan sharks came everyday
hitting and breaking things, and it was a total mess.
And since she had to live alone without parents, I think she must have worked for an adult entertainment place.
She looked so sweet.
But she still kept her room.
After she met her biological mother, she said she was moving into her house, and I thought good for her. But, she hasn't moved her stuff out yet.
As for me, I'm getting rent, and that's good for me. So, I'm being quiet and waiting.
Before Jeong Seon Mi came to Seun Mi Ok restaurant, her name was Kim Jeong Hui.
I think it may be the name the orphanage gave her.
After she grew up, I think she may have been harassed over loan shark debt while working in an adult entertainment place.
What about the account that Oh Jeong Im deposited the money into?
They're all accounts in borrowed names, but they took out all the money and closed the accounts.
They are exactingly careful loan sharks who don't leave any traces...
But Team Leader, while doing an account inquiry on Grandmother Oh Jeong Im, I found a shocking fact.
Grandmother's fortune is a staggering ₩10 billion.
₩10 billion!
A large variable has been thrown into this missing-person case.
She is not just the daughter of a run-of-the-mill soup-and-rice restaurant owner,
but the sole heir of a huge ₩10 billion fortune who's gone missing.
It hasn't decomposed at all. Does that mean it hasn't been long since it was cut?
It's because it was frozen.
Frozen?
Yes, if you look carefully at the skin tissue you can see there was severe dehydration, and it's become very wrinkled.
This happens when the skin is frozen and then defrosted.
After the body was dismembered, it was frozen?
Seeing how the blood is dried and the vessels are constricted,
it looks like it's been frozen for more than two or three months.
We can't know the exact time of death before it was frozen either.
But if we look at the thawed skin condition, it hasn't been 26 hours since it was cut.
There weren't any traces of a body being stored at the victim's house,
so it was stored frozen somewhere else for a few months
And yesterday, they only threw away the hand.What a strange guy he is.
If you look at the cut section, I think they used an electric saw.
The cut section is clean, and there is only the saw print.
Saw print?
Like people, saw blades have fingerprints too.

Are these the items that helped confirm that Seon Mi was your biological daughter?
She kept these things more than 30 years.
She must have missed me terribly to do that.
When Seon Mi was young, I was busy working, so I left her alone a lot.
So I don't know if it was that she was so hungry, but she chewed up the ends of pencils and crayons.
So she was punished by me a lot too.
After I lost the child, I really regretted doing that.
Your daughter's habit of chewing on the ends of her crayons — did anyone else know about it?
Nobody, only Seon Mi and I knew.
But Detective, don't you know where Seon Mi is yet?
No, not yet.
President, take a look at this.
Ah, please excuse me for a moment.
JJ Fashion
JJ...
JJ Fashion(phone number) (address)
The JJ you mentioned, it's only been open for five years.
Didn't you say that that dress is over 30 years old?
That's right. We are the ones that made this.
Do you remember when that dress was made?
It was January 13th. Here.
OCM directing department, January 13, 2015 Yoo Han Bank 748-109607-03101
The broadcast station commissioned it.
Would you happen to have the phone number of the person who commissioned it?
Yes.
- Here. - Yes, thank you.
The number you have dialed is not in service.
Please check it and call again.
The results are out.
They are?
It's a rechargeable electric saw that's made by Jeong San Manufacturing.
You have the product number, right?
Okay.
- Yeah, what? - The Korean Chinese woman you mentioned, Jang Mi Yeong.
I looked into it and she used to be a very famous gold-digger in this area, called "Actress Jang."
- Gold-digger? - Yeah. There were three fraud reports and eight missing-person reports.
The people who made the reports were all old men.
Why? The people she defrauded were mostly all old men.
I can understand the fraud reports, but what are the missing-person reports about?
Well, wouldn't it be because to get the money back they had to find Jang Mi Yeong?
Alright. Anyway, send me the contact numbers of the ones who made the reports,
and I'll send you an electric saw product number.
Confirm all the people who bought this electric saw in relation to Kang Woo Seok's death.
Yes. What? All of that?
It's not like there one or two hardware stores in the country. I'll be up all night.
This isn't something that takes Jin even 30 minutes.
- What? - Find it while I"m still being nice, you rascal!
Hello? Hel—
I heard about what happened with Ban Hyo Jeong.
Don't blame yourself too much.
Well, let's talk about that another time.
Yes, since it's such a unique case.
Meeting Place TV program production room
Oh, when we were producing that grandmother's program,
we re-shot some of it because an interview source tape was lost.
When the grandmother was talking about the moment when she lost her daughter the emotion was killer, but we lost that.
Anyway, I do remember punishing the staff to within an inch of their lives at that time.
What was on the lost source tape?
We interviewed her on what her daughter was wearing, her shoes, and the circumstances of how she went missing.
Details like that are important when it comes to our show since that's how we find people.
But in the broadcast content, there weren't any details about those items.
Too much of the detailed information was edited out for being too boring.
Could I go to the broadcast station's security office?
What's that? Let's see the tape room again.
Yes.
Stop.
Can you magnify the face?
Yes.
Do you know who this man is?
Jo Min Ah, isn't it him?
The broadcast writer said he wanted to do it so much,
so he said he'd even do all the small jobs if we asked him to.
He asked us to use him as a junior writer...
Do you know his contact number?
He stopped coming to work one day without notice, so I tried calling him.
It came up as a suspended number.
Mrs. Oh Jeong Im ₩Ten billion fraud ring Leader?
Responsible for Materials - Acquire reference materials for missing Jeong Seon Mi - Manufacture items at time of disappearance
Actress Jeong Seon Mi?Kim Jeong Hui?Missing?
Responsible for Action Muscle, - act like dangerous loan sharks- continuous threats, extort money and valuables
Questionable male surveillant 101-6217-2-34
That the daughter she found after 30 years was a member of a fraud ring after money,
that woman's acting is really amazing
to have fooled all the people around her so completely until now.
It's a project with ₩10 billion at stake, so the best players of all fields probably gathered
and prepared it over a long time.
Then would the homeowner that tipped off the TV station have been fooled too?
She camouflaged herself and moved in a long time ago.
She acted like she was being chased by loan sharks and longing for her younger years.
She even exposed the older items.
She had items that she hugged to herself every night and cried, but that grandmother on TV
said her daughter would have these items and would have showed them. And, it was a perfect match.
So it seems our missing-persons investigation has now changed to chasing that fraud ring.
But there is one question that isn't resolved.
The bereaved mother that was looking for her so ardently...
It was a situation where even if she stayed still, ₩10 billion would just fall into her hands.
Why did Jeong Seon Mi disappear at this time?
Jeong Seon Mi? Kim Jeong Hui?
Who said it was fraud? That child was absolutely not one to do such things.
Mi Yeong didn't ask for the money.
She was living in debt here and there because of her father's medical expenses.
I couldn't stand to watch it, so I gave her my bank book first.
Yes, here.
Accept it. I'm giving it to you. Accept it.
It's a bank account book.
Aigoo, I'm giving this to you.
You use it comfortably. It's okay; it's okay. Use it for medical expenses. Use it comfortably.
Aigoo, you're so good. Just go repay your debts and use it comfortably.
Aigoo, your (cooking) skills are quite outstanding.
She refused it so many times, and I just barely got her to accept it.
Please make sure to find my Mi Yeong.
That young and tender child, if she's even eating food somewhere,
I can't even sleep because I'm worried about her.
Nursing aides come, and when people aren't looking,
they curse and rebuke you. That's the usual course, but Mi Yeong was different.
Why is your face like that? Come over here.
She was beaten by her wretched father and even came here with her eye bruised purple.
She always had a smile on her face while cleaning my poop and pee.
I've lived as much as the next person too,
and I know how to recognize people. The way that woman Mi Yeong was with me
absolutely could not be an act.
So... please find that woman.
Mi Yeong is alive?
What do you mean, is she alive?
She told me something one day.
What's this? What's this?
We can't meet anymore. I am going to run away.
I want to live as human.
I won't forget you, Grandfather,
that you were good to me.
Don't go.
The guy that's supposed to be her father, it seems like he was breaking his daughter's back (from working her to the bone).
It have been really bad if she said she was running away.
So I gave the money from selling one of my stores to Mi Yeong.
I told her to call me whenever she settled somewhere.
Three months have passed since that day, and I've had no call from her.
Do you know Jang Mi Yeong's phone number?
Of course. I have her as 1 on my speed dial.
She's a hundred times better than those children who just wait for their parents to die.
The one who sued Mi Yeong is my oldest son,
despite telling him to drop the charges, no matter how much I try to stop him,
he's so scared of losing his inheritance that he doesn't listen to me.
You've worked hard.
To find the buyer of the electric saw, I searched all the hardware and general stores,
and I found out something REALLY shocking.
What is it?
Among the people who bought the Jeong Woo Electric saw, do you know whose name popped up?
Which is exactly this girl! Gold-digger!
She bought it three months ago at a hardware store in Yeongdeungpo and paid cash.
Because a mute woman didn't fit the usual buyer's profile, the owner remembered her.
What is this girl? Fraud plus murder! Isn't she the worst?
Why? We have a violent criminal here. Why are you looking like that?
Something doesn't add up.
What doesn't add up?
At the time of the victim's death, she disappeared
and we've confirmed that she used an electric saw.
And you said she used to get beat up everyday.
Motive, testimony and evidence. They all fit so perfectly!
Why is your mind so simple?
Huh?
Let's say Jang Mi Yeong is the criminal.
Then, after freezing the body parts,
as if to plainly show the body parts, why would she just throw away the hands?
By doing so, she knew that she would be suspected.
- Then...?- Whatever her reason was for throwing the hands away,
where the body parts are kept,
there is someone besides Jang Mi Yeong who knows where the body parts are kept.
What?
This is Jang Mi Yeong's cell phone number.
Get all the records of messages and call contents.
Okay, I understand.
Yes, is that so?
I'll be right there.
Before Jeong Seon Mi went missing, was there anything strange or out of the ordinary?
No. She did her everyday routines.
She would stay home all day but at 4:00 PM,
she would go for a walk in that park.
And after 30 minutes, she would come back.
So we set our clocks by it.
She went for a walk everyday?
Yes.
Jeong Seon Mi missing case: Police image analysis
Channel 29: April 9, 2015, 4:13 PM
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Shiljong Noir M Team @ Viki
From Seon Mi Ok restaurant, it takes 15 minutes to get here on foot.
And from here, she disappeared before the security camera at the four-way intersection.
And she would always come back after 30 minutes so we used to call her...
We used to set our clocks by it.
Jeong Seon Mi, what the heck did she do here?
Yes, Seo Joon. Can you get CSI here?
The analysis of the hairs from Kang Woo Seok's bathroom came back.
The victim Kang Woo Seok and the woman he lived with, Jang Mi Yeong.
And there is one hair from an unidentified man.
A man?
Although we failed on the DNA test because there was no follicle,
I am certain that it belongs to a man.
By looking at the hair condition, he seems to be 30 to 40 years old.
Which means the hair doesn't belong to Kang Woo Seok.
There was another man...
It's getting interesting by the day.
I looked into Jang Mi Yeong's phone and it was unregistered.
As soon as she left that grandfather, she left the country.
But when I looked into the phone record at that time,
there was one more phone number that she called beside the grandfather.
It must be Kang Woo Seok's number. From Kang Woo Seok's phone record,
look into all the numbers except Jang Mi Yeong's to see if we can get something.
Okay. But there is one strange thing.
Jang Mi Yeong and that grandfather had a lot of conversations by text message.
Isn't that obvious since she's mute?
But the conversation with Kang Woo Seok
had no text messages.
All of the conversations were by voice calls.
Isn't that strange?
The results are back. The fingerprints from the public phone
and the prints from here are a match.
Okay.
Yes, Team Leader.
Yes, Seo Joon. 023719637. It's a public phone number.
With this phone, every day between 4:00 to 4:30 PM,
can you look into the calls that were made?
Yes.
I'll send you the fingerprints right away.
Yes, I understand.
While I was looking at Kang Woo Seok's phone number, I did find a Korean-Chinese woman.
Turns out she's an illegal immigrant.
Where is she now?
Oppa.
Will this be enough? I had to borrow it in a hurry.
Oppa, you went to all this trouble just for me...
Oppa, I feel so sorry I don't know what to do.
No, a person should live first.
First, get the surgery and pay me back slowly.
If only mother wasn't sick,
I wouldn't burden you like this.
Your mother died last year because of being angry at you.
Oppa, it's not true. It's not, Oppa.
- Oppa- Mister, you should be careful. How many times is this?
Oppa.
I... really.
Why are you interfering with other people's work. Let me and you make a living, okay?
You know who this person is?
Of course I know. It's because of him that I am living like this. He's a snake hunter.
A snake hunter?
I even graduated from a university in Yanbian, China.
Before I met this bastard, I was going to return and become a schoolteacher.
After that incident, he didn't contact me,
so I thought he had no more use for me.
That incident?
You didn't come here because of that?
Why is my Oppa feeling so good?
Hey, this time without doing too much, you can get 3 large (₩300,000,000).
You can pay off your debt all at once.
What is that, Oppa?
There is something...
Come on, tell me.
I told you I can't.
He said "a big one" came in and all he had to do was introduce an actor and asked me if I wanted to try.
What is that "big one"?
I really don't know, since they tell you at the audition.
By introducing an actor, he got 3 large (₩300,000,000). So, isn't that a big one?
Anyway, so I went to the audition, but that guy
said I had no feel to my acting.
That guy? The one who interviewed you? Where was the audition?
At Kang Woo Seok's house.
Do you remember what he looked like?
He wore sunglasses and had his back turned so I didn't see his face.
But he was rather gloomy,
and he felt filthy.
The record looks clean.
From the public phone you talked about, the record shows
just one place that she called everyday around 4:15.
Hwayang coffee house, in Jangjin-dong.
Oppa, how come you weren't here yesterday?
Aigoo. Aigoo, I'm sorry, Oppa.
You had sunglasses, so I thought you were someone I knew.
About this time everyday,
there was a guy who wore sunglasses and made phone calls from here.
But, Oppa, what are you going to drink?
But,
who is that guy?
I don't know who he is.
I didn't even see his face because he didn't take off his sunglasses.
But,
I'm sure he wasn't as handsome as you.
This Kang Woo Seok, thinking it about logically,
seems to have died supplying actors to the ringleader of the big con.
Then, this hair belongs
to that guy?
Sunbae, Kang Woo Seok's unregistered phone
location record came back, until the time of his death.
The places he usually went are the barbershop,
massage parlor, drug bars,
motel and places like that.
Motel?
Yes, motel.
Motel California.
Jeong Seon Mi reported to someone everyday at a designated time.
The person who got the report
must be the person who is the head of this con.
If he came here everyday,
there is a high probability that the hideout is near here.
If he used the coffee house to make and receive calls,
he must have avoided the security cameras as well.
Through his phone record, we got the last location where Kang Woo Seok went before he died.
- Motel...- Motel California.

Detective Oh, I thought you were on vacation.
Yes.
I was going to rest for a few days.
You know the saying, only the ones who played before know how to play.
For guys like us, working is actually resting.
But what brought you here?
While I was chasing a ringleader of a con ring connected to a dismembered body case,
I ended up here.
How about you, James?
Ringleader of a con ring?
As a coincidence, this is interesting.
I also ended up here chasing after a con ringleader who was about to swindle ₩10 billion.
- A con ring swindling ₩10 billion?- Yes.
Then...
the person we both were after, perhaps...
Motel California
Not for two men...
I don't do that either.
Among the customers here, do they look familiar to you?
That one. I think the room number is 345.
He's been here for about few months as a long-term tenant.
- Is 345 in his room right now?- No.
He didn't even return his keys, and hasn't been here for two or three days. Why?
Why? Is something going on?
He cleans the room by himself and doesn't let anyone go near his room,
so I thought something was very suspicious.
Please open room 345.
It's not that.
Open the door for him.
Seems like nothing special here.
Wait a minute.
D-Day: April 13, 2015
So, this was the hideout of the con artist to swindle ₩10 billion.
Jeong Seon Mi's missing-person case
is the origin of the severed-hand murder case.
It's the starting point.
♫ Your transparent face ♫
♫ and your sweet voice ♫
♫ quietly it embraces me. ♫
Missing Noir M~Preview~
Seong Mi, you are a nice girl, right?
Stop. At dawn when the severed hand was found,
♫ Yes... ♫
That severed hand exposed this whole con.
- I told you to move.- He purposely made the situation worse for himself...
This must be to atone for sins.
Grandmother, there's something you haven't told me, isn't there?
Sunbae.
I'm happy that you came back.
Let's see what happens.
The Special Mission Team's operation will
be suspended immediately.
I hope my choice will be the right one.
♫ Don't put it out to the world. ♫
