It's a supermarket that's a 20-minute walk...
from where he lived.
It was in a corner not included in our initial sweep.
It's An Seok Won.
It's the same outfit as when he died.
We looked at his hospital records.
He was prescribed sleeping pills for three years.
It's certain that he committed suicide.

(The weight of)
What happened to the cadaver?
As it's dark and chilly here,
she turned into a complete mummy.
That's why she was found late.
How long has it been since she died?
I think it's been well over a month.
Due to her condition, I wonder if autopsy would help.
It's a respirator used by those who have asthma.
Is she injured?
She looks terrifying, but she's not much injured.
Detective Kang.
It looks like her ID.
(Lee Hye Sun)
Lee Hye Sun.
Who found this place?
Hello.
- Did you see it? - See what?
The poem on the wall.
Was it a poem?
"Life that is rotten and crumbled."
"The weight of the crimes."
"The weight of the flesh".
The original poem says "the flesh" instead of "the crimes".
It's a poem called "Unknown Warrior" by Cheon Sang Byeong.
I looked it up on the internet.
Shall we sit down?
Please sit.
Why did you go up there?
It's a cultural center.
I heard that you have no business going there.
When...
coincidence is repeated,
it's no longer a coincidence.
What's being repeated?
The poem.
There's a poem again.
Please stop talking about poems.
Tell us how you found the dead body.
There's another poem at the scene of the crime.
We talked about this.
Ms. Cha Woo Kyung.
Why did you go up there?
- What is it? - What's going on?
Is something going on?
They found a dead body.
It's coming out.
- My goodness. - What's going on?
My gosh.
Oh, no.
- This is scary. - Goodness.
- Take her home. - I'm fine.
What are you doing?
You just saw a dead body.
Will you be okay driving tonight?
- Give it back. - It can be very traumatizing.
If you get into an accident, the police will be blamed.
We saw An Seok Won buying charcoal.
There's a record of his prescription of sleeping pills.
We detected sleeping pills in his blood as well.
It's almost certain that he committed suicide.
We arrested the one who murdered Park Ji Hye.
The case has been closed for a while.
Then there's no more reason to worry about those poems.
Both cases have been resolved.
You could say that.
- So everything was a coincidence. - Yes.
All of it was a coincidence.
Do you really believe that it's a coincidence?
What else can I believe?
There's no evidence that it isn't a coincidence.
We must believe so.
Mom.
Eun Seo.
Who's that man?
Why is he driving your car?
Oh, he's a police officer.
Police?
I'll explain later.
Go inside.
Bye.
Mom.
Is the police officer arresting us?
Mom.
What?
Your mom is tired.
That's why I'm driving instead.
The police...
only arrest bad people.
We protect good people.
Mom.
When is Dad coming back?
It's been over 100 nights.
Dad will be back soon.
Let's wait a little longer.
I hope he comes back soon.
I miss him.
You're a good girl, Eun Seo.
Let's wait a little.
Let's go.
I'll do it.
Will you?
Does someone else take care of your youngest child?
I know it will be difficult, but get some rest.
My husband and I got a divorce.
What?
I didn't get to tell my daughter yet.
Hey. Here.
I thought you might be curious.
Have you seen anyone suspicious come in the last few months?
This place has a lot of traffic.
That's a cultural center,
so it's always full of moms and kids.
Were you the only one on duty?
I'm the only one who does night rounds.
They let me live here in exchange.
When they downsized, they got rid of the night guard.
Originally, I'm in charge of managing facilities.
Please make a copy for me.
Okay.
It's a little messy, right?
You have a lot of children's stuff.
Some of the kids from the center come here to play.
We fix toys or make new ones.
We can only store footages for a month,
so anything from before that was deleted.
When you made your rounds at night,
did you ever feel that someone might be in the building?
No. Why?
In the storage where we found the corpse,
there were signs that show someone lived there for a while.
I had no idea.
Have you ever been to that storage?
We hardly use it.
It's in a remote area,
so I bet even some of our staff don't know about it.
It's a storage even staff members don't know,
but that dead woman knew about it.
Was it a woman?
Yes. It was a woman.
Are you sure this is Lee Hye Sun?
If you can't believe it, I'll help you check.
This is the most frontal shot we have of her.
Now, this is her ID.
The two faces are almost identical.
They are a 97.043 percent match.
We were lucky.
We got the footage just two days before it was deleted.
It's probably the last time she was seen before she died.
Now the window for her time of death is smaller.
No one knew that a homeless lived in the building.
I asked around with her picture, but no one recognized her.
People might not have noticed.
Since there's so much traffic there, it was used to her advantage.
(Life that is rotten and crumbled. The weight of the crimes)
It's hard to identify the handwriting...
since it's written with spray paint.
Also, this material dries completely in just three hours.
It's also not possible to find the time it was written.
It could've been written at the time of her death,
or even a lot before then.
This means that strange writing could be irrelevant to this case.
We don't know anything for sure.
If one sets foot on earth, they're bound to leave traces.
But late Lee Hye Sun only left two traces...
that prove she lived on earth.
The mummified body and her husband on record, right?
Do you think that's possible?
She doesn't even have phone records. It's so strange.
It's strange.
If there is no evidence, we have to find traces.
Look for things that could prove Lee Hye Sun's existence.
Check every school and orphanage in the country.
It could be an old classmate, a teacher,
or just a neighborhood fool.
Find anyone that knows Lee Hye Sun.
I guess no one's home.
Hey.
What's this? Who are you people?
I only have instant coffee.
It's sweet and delicious.
I haven't heard Hye Sun's name in a while.
It's been a year...
since we got a divorce, but I haven't seen her.
Did something happen?
We found someone who had an unnatural death.
We found this with her.
(Lee Hye Sun)
Did she die? Did Hye Sun die?
We need you to come and check for us.
What is this?
Did she really die?
Dad!
Hi, princess.
Are you well?
You got so big.
Dad, is your business trip over?
What? Yes.
Eun Seo,
listen to your grandparents well.
Don't give them trouble, okay?
Okay.
Have fun, okay?
Did you tell your parents about what happened between us?
Kind of.
I'll tell them in detail this time.
You can tell Eun Seo yourself. I can't tell her...
why her dad can't come home.
Right. How did it go?
You were looking for that boy's family.
Oh.
I shouldn't have said that back then.
- Don't mind me. - Really?
I've been seeing a doctor, and I'm taking my pills.
I don't see that girl either.
I'm glad.
I mean it.
Okay. I'll get going.
You're early, Mom.
Yes.
I already wiped her.
Can you massage her arms and legs?
Okay.
They found a body where kids frequent.
Is your center going to be okay?
Luckily, it wasn't on the news.
Why do such scary things happen around you?
It's so unlucky.
Come over for dinner with Min Seok and Eun Seo later.
I made ribs.
They went to my in-laws'. It's my father-in-law's birthday.
What about you? Don't you have to go?
I don't have to go anymore.
Min Seok and I separated.
Did Min Seok find someone else?
I knew it.
You gave him so much trouble.
Who wouldn't run away when their wife is losing her mind?
Young and pretty girls would line up for Min Seok.
Are you saying...
what he did was good?
No.
I'm just saying I can understand him.
What about me? Don't you understand me?
If you treated him properly, this wouldn't have happened.
He's the one who broke apart our family.
He's the one who did wrong!
Why do you only criticize me and Eun Seo?
Why is it always my fault?
You blamed me for Dad's death,
then you blamed me for what happened to Se Kyung!
Now my husband leaving me is my fault too?
How dare you scream...
around your sick sister?
I was bad.
Mom, I was bad.
I was bad, Mom.
I was bad.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mom.
Mom, I was bad.
The caregiver will be here soon.
Clean up.
Okay.
How can...
someone...
end up like that?
We're trying to find out.
Can you reach any friends or acquaintances of the deceased?
She had no friends.
She's an orphan, so no family.
She was really quiet and almost never left home.
How did someone...
that anti-social survive a divorce?
Are you asking me that? How would I know?
You're rude.
Well,
we never talked after we got divorced.
How healthy was she?
Did she have any chronic illnesses...
She was still in her 20s. What chronic illness would she have?
Oh, right, she...
She coughed a lot.
It was asthma or an esophageal inflammation.
Why did you divorce her?
Wait.
Must I...
- answer that? - Yes.
Darn it, well, the woman was...
She was frustrating.
I need enjoyment. I'm human too.
Aren't I?
And do you need a reason to get sick of someone?
Nothing can help if you fall out of love, am I right?
Aren't I?
Thanks for the present.
It was well-made.
How's your new consultant?
Do you meet often?
I heard they found a body.
What?
Did the little girl who lived there die?
A little girl?
She did nothing but draw pictures.
She was about six.
She had short hair and round eyes.
I asked if she had a consultation...
and she said she lived in there.
When was that?
Back when I used to come here.
Si Wan.
Didn't you hear me call for you?
Let's go.
She was about six.
She had short hair and round eyes.
That's him.
That's my husband.
He bought the charcoal himself.
He was determined to die then.
The autopsy says he died of asphyxiation due to carbon monoxide.
No one broke into the car...
and there are no signs or murder, so we suspect a suicide.
He wouldn't stop talking about wanting to die.
In this case,
will you give back the 3,000 dollars?
We'll return everything he left.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Sign here...
to claim the body.
(Claim of Remains)
Bring the signed form.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Can I not claim his body?
What?
If I claim the body, I have to organize a funeral.
Whether he's buried or cremated,
it'll cost a lot of money.
We have nothing at all. I mean it.
Do we have to treat him as if he has no family?
Yes, that's the only option now.
Stop wasting your time and remember today's lesson.
Let's not become someone who's not worth a funeral.
(Cha Woo Kyung)
You take it.
Take it.
This is Detective Kang's phone.
He stepped out and...
We identified the body, but I can't share that information.
It's not a secret, but...
we haven't disclosed that detail yet.
I'll take it.
Why do you want to know her identity?
I want to know whom I found.
I can't share details of a case for those reasons.
I've never heard of a body's identity...
being kept a secret.
A statement will be issued soon.
- I'll tell you then. - One more thing.
Did that woman have a daughter?
A daughter?
Did the dead woman have a child?
Tell me that at least.
No. She didn't.
Cousin or niece, she had no daughter.
She was an orphan.
(Hanul Children's Center)
(Episode 8)
(The beast-like laughter was as sweet as a cry.)
(I'm sorry.)
(Life that is rotten and crumbled. The weight of the crimes)
It's me, So Ra's mom.
Gosh. That awful police...
had me shivering.
So Ra's dad committed suicide.
Thank goodness, right?
What? Ma'am...
You were right.
It's so nice...
now that he's dead.
Thank you, Ms. Cha.
It's all thanks to you.
What?
This proves that a child was in the storage?
This Black Star Devil bracelet is popular among kids right now.
My girl has one too.
It happened at a children's center.
It's nothing special to find a kid's toy at a children's center.
This bracelet only came out...
less than two months ago.
That means there was a kid in that storage.
How does that make a difference?
The woman was found as a corpse,
but the child disappeared.
Then we should search for the child.
If you look here, these are the pictures from the scene.
You can't find anything related to kids in the garbage.
You think this single bracelet proves a kid was there?
Did you even check...
if there's a child or not?
(Hanul Children's Center Case)
(Personal Information)
This is Lee Hye Sun who we found.
There's no one on her record. She's an orphan.
The only family she ever had was her ex-husband, Mr. Go.
He also doesn't have anyone. No children. Happy?
She might have had the child,
but never registered him or her.
Ms. Cha, that's enough.
Such a thing happens very often in this world.
It's very hard to deal with you. Please leave.
How can a police officer be so irresponsible?
A child's life depends on this.
The murderer could have kidnapped the child...
after killing the woman.
The kid's in danger.
Ji Heon.
Forensics want to know if you'll attend the autopsy.
What are you saying? I already said I'd go.
Tell them I'm leaving right now.
Tell them not to start until I get there.
Did you hear that? I have other work to do.
Take this black devil something bracelet with you.
There's one more thing in common...
aside from death and poetry.
What?
It's children.
Abused or neglected children.
When there's death involving a poem,
a child is always there too.
This time...
is no different.
She hit a child with her car six months ago, and the child died.
The shock led her to give a stillbirth.
A stillbirth?
- Are you talking about Ms. Cha? - Yes.
She turned hysterical after that.
She's been receiving consultation for a long time.
She mentioned taking time off from work before.
It wasn't a maternity leave. She was on sick leave.
She was able to go back to work since she has a good reputation,
but she's gotten too sensitive and the center is watching her.
There are no external injuries or any fractures.
Look.
Is that a purple spot?
If she was decayed more than this, I wouldn't have been able to spot it.
The spot matches the pose she was in when she was found.
- Did she die while sitting? - Or,
she was seated right after being killed.
Then I guess it'd be hard to figure out the time of death.
It could be as little as two weeks to as much as several months.
It's hard to pinpoint.
It's so grotesque,
but it's just a simple death?
Death itself is a grotesque thing.
All right.
She doesn't show any signs of giving birth before, right?
She does.
- What? - She gave birth at least once.
Yes, she has.
If you look at her pelvis,
it's been a few years at least.
Anyway, it wasn't recent.
Why do you ask?
What are you doing here?
Is there such a job?
I didn't know...
that's what consultants did.
We try to find the reason behind social phenomena...
by approaching them from a psychological perspective.
It's a part of my job to research.
It's rare to find a homeless woman in her 20s...
die an unnatural death.
I know it's discourteous to...
It's not discourteous at all.
I'm always with dirty dogs every day.
You're really beautiful.
I'm so happy to be facing such a beautiful person.
I understand that Lee Hye Sun doesn't have any family.
Yes. She was a wanderer who didn't know her own parents.
That was how it was when I met her,
and probably was the same until she died too.
Let's see.
About 10 years ago,
I ran a junk shop in Suwon.
That's when I first met her.
She was a homeless.
I felt sorry for someone so young,
so I gave her work to do.
Since we saw each other a lot, we grew affectionate.
Then, we ended up living together.
Was Ms. Lee...
underage at the time?
Come on.
I just lived with her while supporting her.
As for Hye Sun,
she had nothing to boast about except her age.
She wasn't as pretty as you,
and she didn't have a nice figure either.
She was stupid and slow too.
To be honest...
Let me be honest with you.
Young girls aren't that attractive anymore.
I like glamorous styles.
I like girls like that. I'm attracted to such people.
There's something on you.
Why did you get a divorce?
Well...
We lived about seven years together,
then she was dying to leave home.
She had itchy feet again.
What about the child?
What child?
The child that you two had.
Didn't you see the file?
There was no child.
I saw...
crayon marks on what you're sitting on.
Didn't a child draw that?
This is second-hand. I found it.
Then...
is there a reason you didn't want children?
Wait.
What does that question...
have to do with the increase of homeless females?
Getting facts on the background of a homeless female in her 20s...
is a basic requirement.
She never got pregnant. And we didn't want kids.
Is there a reason you didn't want children?
Do I have to say this?
I really hate kids.
I resent them with all my being.
They're a nuisance.
They're noisy and self-centered.
They're like monsters. I hate them.
- Mr. Go. - Just a moment.
I'm here to see the dogs.
- Let's go outside. - You got some nice ones?
- I do. Let's go outside. - Okay.
Wait here a bit.
How about this one?
This one? You have a good eye.
His meat will be the tastiest.
- Don't even bother checking. - Okay.
If that's what you're like, keep looking.
- Take your time, okay? - Sure.
They're all nice.
(Pregnancy and Birth)
Hey! What's going on? What are you doing?
What are you doing in my home?
Hey! Who are you?
Who are you really?
What do you do?
Hey, get up.
Who are you?
What do you do?
What are you doing here?
Darn it.
Darn you!
My gosh. Who are you?
I don't believe this. What are you doing?
Who are you?
Why are you here?
This is just crazy. What are you doing here?
What are you?
What happened outside?
What happened to you?
That thieving witch came in here.
So,
why are you here? Did you catch the killer?
No.
I just observed her autopsy at NISI.
Why did she die?
The body was in poor condition, so we can't be sure.
So...
what happened outside?
Some consultant wench or thief...
or something came into my house.
She poked around my belongings.
She saw me...
and took off, so I caught her.
I handed her over to the police, so what?
Lee Hye Sun's body showed signs of giving birth.
But no child is on file.
What happened?
- How would I know? - What?
Do I have to know if that nitwit of a girl...
had a child with someone else?
Weren't you two a couple until a while ago?
What a joke.
You're single, aren't you?
You don't know everything about your spouse.
You say you know nothing,
but you aren't surprised to hear she had a child.
That?
That crazy woman I told you about.
She said a few things.
She talked a lot about children and stuff.
So,
something bothers me.
How did that thieving wench know...
my ex-wife was homeless until she died?
Well?
Drink that.
I apologize about the leak.
That's not an apology.
Aren't you all in on this?
Mr. Go.
Where's the kid?
I don't know about a kid.
This is insane.
Ouch, that hurts.
He's going to sue me for leaking personal information.
- What about you? - Breaking and entering.
But not theft.
Have you eaten?
When was your last meal?
Did I say...
something wrong?
I feel...
too much like an animal.
It's good to be like an animal.
That's healthy, simple, and straightforward.
With no backstabbing.
At the man's home...
I saw a child's scribbles.
And a book on pregnancy.
You said you went upstairs because of the stained ceiling.
And found the body.
Is that true?
- Why? - You had identified the cause...
and fixed the problem regarding the ceiling.
I just can't get my head around it.
Something bothered me,
so I went up and found...
What I really don't get is...
why on earth...
you're going this far to find a kid we aren't sure exists.
Lee Hye Sun.
Did you meet her before her death?
You knew she was living there, didn't you?
I didn't.
Very well. Then...
why did you go into an attic no one has been to in years,
why are you so convinced Lee Hye Sun has a daughter,
and why are you trying so hard to find her?
Answer at least one of those questions for me.
Do you really think the child exists...
and that we must find her?
Then convince me.
Even if I tell,
you won't believe me.
I'll be the judge of that.
Why did you go to the attic?
The child told me that...
a body...
is up there.
(Autopsy Report)
No external injuries.
No reaction to toxic substances.
No signs of forced entry or struggle.
Possibility of death due to chronic illness or shock.
What does that mean to you?
A typical solitary death.
You know so well.
What's the problem? It's over.
My wife will kill me if I break our promise again.
Hey, hey.
I told you already.
Lee Hye Sun gave birth.
Fine. Let's say she did.
What does that have to do with her death?
The existence of a child changes the whole case.
It could turn into murder and even kidnapping.
Did anyone see Lee Hye Sun with a kid?
No one witnessed her or them,
but we have circumstantial evidence.
I met her ex-husband...
Hey, hey, hey!
Ji Heon. What's wrong with you these days?
Are you possessed?
- Gi Tae, I... - Gosh.
Was the shock of the breakup that big?
Do you need a date?
- Are you kidding right now? - You're the one kidding me!
It's obviously suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning...
and you dragged the case on by saying it was a staged murder.
Do you think I didn't complain because I can't?
If you keep causing trouble for us,
I won't stand by it.
Gi Tae.
67 missing children were reported...
since October who still haven't...
found their families.
I narrowed the list to children between 5 and 7...
- and checked where... - That's enough.
The case was closed.
Death by natural causes.
Didn't you hear me?
Can I go home then?
Go. Go home.
I don't find Cha Woo Kyung very reliable.
She seems too emotional and unstable.
But one thing bothers me.
"Every death regarding a poem involved a child."
All the cases we think we solved.
Were they really solved?
What she said keeps making me wonder.

(The beast-like laughter was as sweet as a cry.)

(The beast-like laughter was as sweet as a cry.)
- I won't be long. - Okay.
How can I help you?
I'm here to get an insurance payment.
Mom.
You're back.
Eun Seo. Come and have dinner.
I made pork cutlet, your favorite.
Eun Seo.
Eun Seo, dinner...
What's that?
What is it?
Was it from your aunt?
Was it from Grandma?
The woman Dad was with bought it for you.
It's okay.
It must be nice to get such a lovely present.
One even sings.
Wow, she bought you so many things.
She said she'd buy me anything I want.
We'll go to a pool and to an amusement park.
I like her so much.
Who's this?
- Hello? - I found the kid.
She was found asleep outside the orphanage a month ago.
Her DNA and Lee Hye Sun's is a match.
Thank you for believing me.
A police wouldn't believe in the phenomenon itself.
We found her through science and circumstantial evidence.
Either way.
Her description fits almost identically to what you gave.
If Lee Hye Sun's daughter really is...
the girl you saw in your hallucination,
then...
become a fortune-teller.
Your talent's too good to waste.
Let's go.
Where did the girl who used to draw with you go?
I haven't seen her in a while and thought she died.
- Thanks. - Sure.
Wait here. I'll bring her when she's ready.
- Okay. - Thank you.
