Yu Na. Yu Na.
We're looking for a child.
A girl wearing a pink shirt and short jeans...
You said she disappeared when you weren't looking, right?
Did you see any strange people nearby?
Yes, something strange had happened.
Someone must have lost her child because she was screaming out...
her child's name and looking around.
I saw her a while back too.
It's the same method.
We'll set up an investigation headquarters for this case.
He must be familiar with this area.
Eight years ago,
I lost my Jin Woo here the same way she lost Yu Na here.
I lost my Jin Woo here.
The profiling wasn't perfect enough to catch the criminal.
Please help me find Jin Woo.
- Get out. - Please, I beg you.
- Get out. - Please.
Nothing, not even perfect profiling,
is more important than saving people.
I knew...
that you were taking medications for PTSD.
You should leave the team.
I knew...
that you were taking medications for PTSD.
Why are you ignoring the possibility...
that your personal feelings might put your team members in danger?
It can be dangerous.
Seeing and hearing things...
are its presymptoms.
(NCI)
(Episode 9)
A girl has gone missing at an amusement park that has...
This does not look like a simple missing case.
Is there a specific reason why you think so?
Yes.
Take a look at this.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Kim Jin Woo)
- Here - Thanks.
I found statistics that say there have been more than 130,000 cases...
of child kidnapping, abuse, and disappearance for the past 10 years.
And there are over 11 children that have not been found...
after their disappearance in Songin last year.
What about other attempted abductions?
There were no other reports of kidnapping or abduction.
They were all filed as disappearance cases.
Really?
But why did you want me to look for kidnapping cases?
Is it because of the child who went missing yesterday?
Look at this.
She insists that her child...
also disappeared in the same way that Yu Na did.
With a difference of eight years, two children without connections...
disappeared from the same place in the same way.
How likely do you think it is for children to disappear...
with a pattern like this?
Do you think it was done by the same culprit?
If that's true,
that means there was a gap of eight years.
Why did the culprit start again?
We need to find out from now.
There could have been more victims.
Who are you?
Jin Woo's mom is driving me insane.
Everyone wants redevelopment of this area.
But she won't leave this house even though we promised...
to give her compensation.
Is there a reason why she refuses?
She keeps saying that her lost son might find his way back home.
How would he find his way back?
It's been over 10 years.
She's been giving out leaflets with a picture of Jin Woo,
whom we don't know if he's dead or alive.
Then a few years ago, she became an alcoholic.
We're from NCI.
We'd like to ask you a few questions.
(Prescribed Medicine)
(Looking for a Missing Child, Kim Jin Woo)
Thank you.
Do you live here alone?
Yes.
I used to have a cat.
But even the cat...
ran out of the house.
We'd like to...
hear about Jin Woo.
Eight years ago, I also lost my child...
in that amusement park.
I registered his DNA to the police,
and I check bodies without guardian for Jin Woo every year.
I didn't find him anywhere. But...
it's different this time.
That day...
The day that Yu Na went missing,
I came home and thought about it carefully.
And this time, I am certain.
The people that took Jin Woo kidnapped Yu Na as well.
Did you go to the amusement park...
because you thought that the culprit could kidnap another child...
using the same method?
For eight years,
I could not stay at home in my right mind, not even for a minute.
I thought that Jin Woo could come looking for me...
when I am not looking for him.
I want to show you something.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Lee Dong Ha)
(Looking for a Missing Child, Han Mi Yeon)
Have you been collecting all of this...
after Jin Woo went missing?
This is the only thing I could do...
during the past eight years.
Jin Woo will come back.
Three years ago,
I saw Jin Woo.
It won't take long.
Come inside.
Sit over there.
I'm so sorry.
Jin Woo! Jin Woo!
Jin Woo!
Why didn't you...
tell the police about this?
No one believed me.
And because no one believed me,
the truth became lies.
Lies became illusions,
and illusions became delusions.
After that,
I was in pain because I thought I could have gone insane.
But I...
definitely saw him.
It was Jin Woo.
Mrs. Oh,
promise me something.
From now on, you should stop drinking.
You have been treated for alcohol poisoning recently, right?
If you keep on drinking,
you won't last until Jin Woo comes back.
If you don't stop drinking,
we won't be able to help you even if we wanted to.
Do you understand?
I'm looking for a child.
Please take a look.
Please, take a look at this.
Excuse me. Please take a look.
Jin Woo, Jin Woo!
What are you doing?
Mom! Mom!
Please take a look at this picture.
I have tried everything I could do.
To find Jin Woo,
I traveled all over the country.
Have you seen this child?
Excuse me. Please take a look at this.
I'm scared.
Losing my child only took a moment,
but I'm afraid looking for him will never end.
(Subway entrance)
These are the missing children in Songin area in last 10 years.
My goodness. I can't believe there are so many.
It's almost identical to Oh Soon Young's data.
A total of 12 children are presumed to be dead after being kidnapped.
If you look at the road map,
Soon Young has already...
figured out the number of dead children.
Just like what she said,
there's a high chance that the missing children are alive.
I feel sad,
but there is a team for missing and abduction cases,
and it's also hard to make a conclusion due to many variables.
It's outside of our jurisdiction. Let's stop here.
Team Manager Kang.
If someone shouts the missing child's name,
and distracts people to kidnap young children,
you shouldn't see it as a pattern.
You can say that it's the criminal's signature.
Team Manager Kang. I don't think you should take this lightly.
If Jin Woo's case and Yu Na's case are related,
there is a high chance that all the missing children cases...
since Jin Woo went missing eight years ago, are related.
We need to consider it when we profile.
If we investigate all the kidnapping cases that took place...
in public areas in Songin from 8 years ago,
we might get an answer.
Right. If we find a connection between Jin Woo, Yu Na...
and all the children missing in last 8 years,
it could be a serial abduction case.
Can we start right away, Ms. Hwang?
Sure.
Just give me the order.
Team Manager Kang.
Unless we figure out the cause or the motive for the crime,
even if Jin Woo was seen three years ago,
there's no guarantee that Jin Woo is alive.
Here.
Do you remember what you said when you gave this to me?
This...
was your first NCI case.
Ha Sun Woo.
What we do here...
is chase after those who lost human nature.
We see the ugliest bottom.
I still see...
those monsters in my dreams.
Every time that happens,
I see the pictures of children I saved.
At that time, we saved Hyun Ji.
When everyone told us we should give up because she was dead,
you had refused to give up.
You said if there's even a slightest chance of Hyun Ji being alive,
we should save her.
That's probably what Soon Young felt...
during the past eight years.
Bring me the rest of data.
Let's hurry and begin the profiling.
Yes.
He has a sharp nose and slim face.
He has a lot of hair.
(Missing Child, Kim Jin Woo)
Yu Na and her mom...
probably stood around here.
Yu Na and her mom were watching the performance while holding hands.
The criminal probably stood around here waiting for their target.
Then some woman screamed.
Yu Na's mom was probably distracted while looking at the woman...
and didn't realize she let go of Yu Na's hand.
By the time, her mom turned around,
Yu Na was already gone.
Yu Na probably couldn't respond because the man's hand...
was covering her mouth.
Other people thought...
the man was her father comforting his crying daughter.
Hurry up.
Soon, Yu Na was locked in the car,
and they disappeared as if nothing happened.
Then...
who is the driver?
According to the profile, there are at least three criminals.
Does that mean there are accomplices?
Yes. It looks like they're moving as a group.
If they're moving as a group,
they might have been kidnapping children long before our timeline.
If that's the case,
something worse than we expected is happening.
Why did you come to my house?
Why did you come?
I'm here to find a flower
I'm here to find it
Are you crying again?
Mommy told you I hate children who cry.
I told you not to cry.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry. Don't cry!
Team Manager Kang.
Do you think...
the children are still alive?
For child abduction cases, unless you find them within 24 hours,
the children are likely to be found dead.
In last three years,
there was not even one case...
asking for money.
If Jin Woo is alive, he's 16 now.
Do you think it's possible...
to hide a 16-year-old?
Most selective-type criminals...
get rid of the victims...
before they reach adolescence.
That's possible if Jin Woo was kidnapped at a young age.
The culprits would have consistently exposed these children...
to violence and stimulation.
They would have...
chosen a target.
And then...
used the child as sacrifice.
When he was first kidnapped, Jin Woo was only eight years old.
But through experience, he would've learned to do as told...
in order to survive.
He would now be used to being obedient.
Then...
he could have Stockholm Syndrome.
The fact that the culprits have him...
would be the reason why he has not been found yet.
But there is a problem that has not been solved yet.
What is your name?
From now on,
you should never forget your name.
There are more children like you.
We have all been kidnapped.
Why did the culprits kidnap these children continuously?
Why did they keep Jin Woo alive?
Is it just to use him as accomplice?
These people...
will give you a new name.
But you should never forget your real name.
Do you understand?
The culprits...
could never take the children to a public place.
If we are right and they are all alive,
where could they have hidden the children?
And how?
Mom!
Excuse me, but why are you leaving like this?
What about our daughter, Yu Na?
It's been over three days.
If you just wait, we will call you.
What are you talking about?
We have done everything we can.
We are going to be in charge of this case from now on.
Min Young.
Right.
We should have a talk.
It's been exactly 52 hours.
As you know, most murders after kidnapping...
happen within 24 hours.
Do you think that the golden time has passed already?
Yes.
We think differently.
This is an organized crime.
It could have a different pattern from other cases.
I've dealt with multiple cases like this.
The culprit most likely took the child for sexual reasons.
It was done by a pedophile.
You should think about this again.
The victim took the risk of gaining attention in public...
by making a big fuss...
so they can kidnap a child.
It's not something that pedophiles,
who do not like to be in public,
would do.
We believe they kidnap children...
for reasons...
other than money or sexual harassment.
We see this as a continuation...
of other kidnapping cases in Songin,
and we're going to run a reinvestigation.
We need your cooperation.
Okay.
Team Manager Kang.
Is she alive? Is Yu Na alive?
Is she, Detective?
Honey.
Please tell us...
that Yu Na is alive.
Please tell us that she is alive.
Yu Na...
will still be alive.
- Thank you. - She's alive.
Yes?
Team Manager Kang.
Captain, I'm analyzing the footage from the police station.
I think I have something.
Tell me.
On every footage that Yu Na was on,
a man is there as well.
Who is he?
Yoon Seok Ho.
He's an employee of the company that subcontracts to...
the company "Vienna" that Yu Na's father manages.
Do you know him?
No.
I don't.
I don't know where he lives yet.
I'm looking for registered cars that he might own.
Hey.
Wake up.
Let's run away.
Everyone went out to kidnap a new child from the firework festival.
We need to run away before they arrive.
If they bring a new child,
one of us will be killed.
Let's go find your mom.
You can't make a sound, okay?
Ouch, that hurt.
Where are you going?
Let's go home with Mommy. Mommy's here. Let's go home.
- No. - It's fine.
- Goodness. - What on earth?
Yoon Seok Ho.
Yoon Seok Ho. You're under arrest for kidnapping.
Let me go. Let me go!
Yoon Seok Ho. After his wife, Jung Hyun Joo died,
he's been living working as a daily laborer.
He's working as a contract employee at a subcontractor...
of Hwang Kyung Sik's BNI.
What was the reason for his wife's death?
It just says she died of hyperpnoea while she was pregnant.
Captain. It says Jung Hyun Joo was hospitalized for a light cold...
but she died for unknown reason...
after showing signs of hyperpnoea.
She was seven-months pregnant at the time...
and died with her baby.
But something is strange.
BNI had a massive recall...
on their detergent products starting June of 2011.
At the time, Yoon Seok Ho delivered the products from the subcontractor.
Are you saying that's related to Jung Hyun Joo's death?
I traced the pregnant women who died of humidifier sterilizers in 2011.
BNI tested their products...
on their employees.
There were young children who died of Jung Young Joo's symptoms.
That means Young Joo might be...
a victim of the sterilizer.
If Seok Ho used the product to test it,
he pretty much killed his own family.
Is that why he kidnapped Yu Na?
(Green Pharmacy)
(Prescription) (Green Pharmacy)
(Prescription)
Where is Yu Na?
Why do I need to tell you that?
Your wife, Jung Young Joo who died in 2010...
was the only person who was not approved as...
industrial accident.
Industrial accident?
That's a joke.
They killed Young Joo and the baby inside her.
They gave the products to us...
way before it was released. Did you know that?
They tested on us.
They knew their products were not safe.
Is that why you decided to kidnap Yu Na?
Yes.
I kidnapped Yu Na.
I wanted to get back at them.
So what?
Hold on.
SSRI. Antidepressant.
It also has antianxiety drugs with benzodiazepine.
Are you saying he has a panic disorder?
Based on his prescription,
it's highly likely that he had regular panic attacks.
When he was in front of the subway station, even though he could run,
he turned back around. No.
He didn't turn back around.
He couldn't go in.
Hello?
Agoraphobia?
Okay.
Call me if you find anything else.
Is Yoon Seok Ho suffering from agoraphobia?
The criminal picked a crowded place to kidnap children.
That means Yoon Seok Ho can't be the criminal.
If he didn't kidnap Yu Na,
why did he run away?
I noticed you've been watching Yu Na.
You studied her daily route and the surveillance camera blind spots.
Why didn't you tell me the truth from the first place?
The fact that Yu Na is missing must have shocked you too.
Since someone else took your chance,
you were probably disappointed and troubled.
What are you talking about?
Then you probably thought it's actually great.
Regardless of the means,
it happened, and it's making her parents suffer.
What are you talking about?
It was me. I did it!
No.
You didn't kidnap Yu Na.
Why are you lying?
Were you afraid?
You couldn't do anything,
but why did you run away?
Don't cry.
Do you want to die?
Please just stay put.
Let us leave!
Let us out!
Please let us out!
Eat at least a bit of it.
Or else,
you'll be dragged to the glass room.
No, I don't want to. I want to go to my mom.
Just pretend to eat it.
If you go there,
Dear youngest daughter, you're not eating anything.
You have to be punished for that.
Please let it pass just once.
It's her first time, so she doesn't know anything. Please?
She might die if she goes there.
She hasn't eaten a single thing since she got here.
Then,
will you guys go instead of her?
It's very special...
to come in this room.
Right?
You, little girl,
haven't been listening to Mommy.
So Mommy is very angry.
Naughty kids...
have to come into this room,
and see their bad faces.
They have to think about what they did wrong,
and tell Mommy.
Then Mommy will let you go.
Dear girl.
Come, Mommy will sing for you.
Why did you come to my house?
Why did you come?
I'm here to find a flower
I'm here to find it
What flower are you looking for?
What flower?
I'm here for baby flowers
For baby flowers
Baby,
what does this song mean?
This song was written...
when your mother sold you to us.
She abandoned you.
No.
Mommy told you not to cry.
Mommy doesn't need kids who cry.
Stop crying!
Think about what you did wrong here.
Let me go!
What are you doing!
Let me go!
Let go!
What is Yoon Seok Ho trying to hide?
Even if he knows something about the culprit,
he probably won't say anything.
Because what he wants...
is for Yu Na's parents to suffer forever.
Now I know...
what Yoon Seok Ho tried to hide.
Someone else was after Yu Na too.
Yoon Seok Ho spied on Yu Na for a long time.
And then he finds something strange.
He discovers that the same van...
has been around Yu Na every time.
If the culprits were a step ahead of Yoon Seok Ho,
it's likely that they knew Yu Na...
much earlier than we'd thought.
Let's first take a look at the blackbox inside Yoon Seok Ho's car.
Who in the world...
I mean, why would they do this to kids?
If the culprits kept their eyes on Yu Na for a while,
I'm sure they had been in the same place at one point.
Stop.
Fast forward just a little bit.
Stop there.
Zoom in.
And fast forward a little bit.
Just one more frame.
Right there.
Yu Na sees something and runs towards it.
No one's there.
Why does she seem so happy to see something?
You're right. Did she see a friend?
No. Yu Na's alone in the next block security footage in the next block.
She was alone all along.
Zoom into Yu Na's face.
Wait.
She's smiling at something.
What is that faint black thing...
behind that electric pole?
I'll zoom in.
Yoon Seok Ho...
is hiding and taking photos.
If that's the case, he could have shot what Yu Na...
saw and ran towards.
Wait.
These are the photos discovered in Yoon Seok Ho's house.
Yes, this one. It's from the same time.
From the background check we did of all of their acquaintances,
no one owned a grey van.
We can't find a full license plate...
in Yoon Seok Ho's photos or in any of the security footage.
Yoon Seok Ho circled around Yu Na for six months.
If the culprits have been on the move before then,
that means they were in contact with missing children from much earlier.
There must be traces somewhere.
Did Yu Na happen to have a pet?
No. She has a severe allergy to cats and dogs.
She can't even go near them.
Songin hosts a lot of festivals and cultural events in particular.
The time when Yu Na was abducted was during a show,
so maybe it's someone from a theater group or the event staff?
But there's one thing I can't understand.
If they were able to get that friendly with Yu Na that easily,
why did they choose such a troublesome way to kidnap her?
It may be because of the culprit's particular obsession,
or some other psychological factor.
They probably need a location that can secretly hide several children.
The culprit probably owns a house in the suburbs,
and the culprit probably hasn't moved for a long time.
The culprit uses a van to kidnap the children during the weekdays...
and has been tracking them for a long time.
Considering the level of obsession,
the culprit probably has a specialized job with no work hours.
Considering how long these systematic crimes have continued,
it's likely that two of the accomplices are family,
or a married couple.
If the kidnappings have continued for over ten years as predicted,
then it's a very unique case unlike any we've seen before.
If it involved abnormal psychological behavior,
it's likely that they've been reported before.
The culprits may have separation anxiety disorder.
Being strict and violent with children falls into those cases.
If that's the case, the culprits were probably abused as children...
or were exposed to violence at a young age.
It must be linked to a case from before.
It's likely that the trauma from that led to committing crimes.
Maybe the culprit collects children like one might collect dolls?
There's a study that says victims of sexual or violent abuse...
collect alternative items...
to avoid their own anxiety.
They become a hoarder of sorts.
If they are hoarders,
they are probably skilled in kidnapping and discarding children.
If they have a pattern of spending a lot of time before the kidnap,
it means they've failed before.
Yes, they couldn't have succeeded in kidnapping all the time.
There must have been similar attempts before this.
- Release it to the media. - No.
If the culprit feels at risk,
Yu Na and the other children may be in danger.
The culprits couldn't have been this organized from the beginning.
They must have gone through trials.
Then as you said, there must have been several failed attempts.
There is a need to make this public.
If we find commonalities among the victims' parents,
we'll be able to find a clue in there.
Gather the parents of the missing children as soon as possible.
- Yes. - Okay.
On September 9, at Songwon Amusement Park,
six-year-old Hwang Yu Na was unfortunately kidnapped.
It's been six days since she went missing.
Yu Na's parents are in utter despair for their daughter.
The NCI...
is looking for a slender woman in her mid to late 30s,
and two men as suspects.
We are cooperating with the police...
and using all our resources to find Yu Na.
The three suspects use a silver van...
to kidnap children around amusement parks and crowded places...
in a systematic way.
Moreover, their jobs likely involve frequent contact with children.
If you've experienced a similar case as the one I've just described,
or if you've heard of or witnessed a similar case, please contact us.
For the numerous families who've been suffering...
for years from losing their children,
if you know anything, anything at all, please report it to us.
Your phone call...
- can save a child's valuable life. - Dong Min!
- If you experienced a similar case, - Dong Min!
or have witnessed one,
please report it to NCI's Special Crimes unit.
Here. Open your mouth.
You've been to the glass room.
You want to be punished again?
No, don't cry. It's okay.
I miss my mom.
Yu Na, what's your favorite food?
Ice cream?
Hey.
Can't you stay with me?
We have to go back to our room now.
We sneaked in here.
If you don't want to go back to the glass room,
you have to eat.
Promise me.
I'm here to find a flower
I'm here to find it
Why?
Sick children have to go to the hospital.
Besides, this girl...
hasn't been eating either.
No.
You guys will be punished soon too.
Move out of way.
Before I beat you.
Let go.
You little!
I'll do it. I'll do it.
What?
I'll do it.
I've always wanted to do it,
Mom.
Okay.
You have to stab it at once.
Just stay still.
It'll be over soon.
You dared to fool me? You?
You come here.
No, no.
You little!
No, let me go!
Stop crying and be quiet!
No, stop!
No, let go of me.
The kidnapper and the children...
must have had a connection somewhere.
I heard with my own ears...
that this woman's son is an accomplice.
He must have shown signs of Stockholm Syndrome.
Apparently, the culprits called the victim's home,
and told them they were going to kill someone.
Did you open the back door?
No. Maybe it didn't close when I went to get the wine.
People are in danger.
Help.
There's no time. Please.
The killer considers it a duty to murder...
individuals that the killer deems unworthy.
They never stop killing until they're caught.
There will be another murder.
