Number five.
Ha Na.
What is it?
Number six.
Number seven.
Ha Na.
Do you see...
the nice man?
Ha Na.
You know number five, don't you?
Isn't he the nice man that you brought up?
Isn't it number five, Ha Na?
Detective.
Sand.
Mr. Sand.
"Mr. Sand"?
Press it.
Watch carefully.
Ta-da.
Who wants to try it?
- Me. - Me.
- I want to try.
Me.
Put it in.
Go ahead.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E11 Children of Nobody "Reason for Murder" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Let's go.
The girl in the storage.
How did she die?
She had severe asthma.
Killing her was simple.
Was she killed in a simple way?
Do you want to know?
Once you stigmatize someone, you don't change your mind.
You haven't changed.
You shouldn't have made me angry in the beginning.
Driving at dawn doesn't make me a kidnapper.
Just because one is holding a gasoline container...
doesn't make one an arsonist.
It's your second time.
You were suspected twice for similar cases.
Could this be a coincidence?
Yes.
What happened?
Get a list of everyone from Dreamland Orphanage.
Identify those who came by recently.
What is it?
Someone came to see you.
He has evidence of murder.
What murder?
He wants to tell you in person.
(We protect your safety and happiness.)
We're going in the same direction. Get in.
Ha Na seems quite shy.
She saw you...
make a sand castle.
Did you see me?
Thank you.
I don't need any reward.
Can you solve this instead?
(Notice for Speeding)
Tell me what kind of case this evidence is for.
What if I tell you everything...
and you ignore me afterward?
Go home, wash your feet, and sleep.
Walk him out.
Death at a construction site in Yeonbok-dong.
You even gave your business card to a soup restaurant owner.
You were desperate for evidence.
Are you sure you don't need it?
Really?
The reason of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
There are no external injuries.
Does this evidence determine that it was suicide?
Yes.
We detected sleeping pills in his blood.
He also has a record of sleeping pill prescriptions.
A few days ago, An Seok Won's wife came by.
- Ji Heon. - What about her?
She claimed that her husband was killed.
She was hoping to get his insurance money.
However, An Seok Won's insurance...
was indemnity insurance that doesn't cover suicide.
In other words,
she's claiming that he was killed to get his insurance money?
That's what we decided for the time being.
"Decided"?
Who did?
Who made the decision?
Captain Hong said...
to sweep it under the rug.
Is that why you didn't report it to me?
That's right.
You sound self-righteous.
I couldn't disobey Captain Hong.
All right.
I guess you couldn't help it since he's your superior.
Good job.
An Seok Won's note...
wasn't a will. It was really just a note.
If you look at the bottom,
there's a trace where they ripped off the phone number.
An Seok Won's wife Kim Dong Sook...
seemed to have known it was a homicide from the start.
(Is there any way to get the insurance money?)
(How can So Ra and I live without it?)
(Red Cry: You're being too greedy.)
(What do you mean I'm greedy? My husband didn't commit suicide.)
(Red Cry: What was it that you really wanted?)
(Red Cry: His death?)
(Red Cry: Money?)
(Red Cry: Greed is always the problem.)
(Red Cry: Too much greed can kill people.)
(Red Cry: Even you.)
(Incheon)
(Hanul Children's Center)
Thank you.
It was...
a really long day.
Right?
Could I see the picture of that boy one more time?
Sure.
Do you remember him?
I saw a poem written on his drawing.
You saw a poem?
Yes.
"At moonrise by the barley fields".
Good job.
It was when I volunteered at Dreamland Orphanage.
I would often look after the kids as they drew.
What's this?
("Leper")
Is this him?
I only saw him once then.
Did you try asking the director?
She says she doesn't know and that she never saw him before.
It wouldn't be common for a child to know that poem.
It wouldn't be common for a child to be interested in it too.
I'm not much of a help.
How many times do you volunteer per month?
I don't go as much anymore.
I used to go once or twice a month back then.
Why haven't I seen him since then?
Usually, kids don't stay for such a short time.
Here.
Gosh, gosh.
Gosh, you guys.
You should be helping with the laundry.
Eun Ho must be mistaken.
Some kids stay here for a short amount of time.
For a short time?
Due to my health reasons, we're not taking more kids.
But sometimes due to administrative mistakes,
we get new kids.
Then we keep them here for a short time...
before they're sent to other institutions.
Here are the kids.
The one Eun Ho saw must be in here too.
(Child Record)
I told you.
I haven't seen the child you're looking for.
Do you have anything else you want to ask?
About that poem,
you said it was originally in the playroom.
Why did you take it off?
- Come on in. - Okay.
We took all the pictures off...
and installed a big bulletin board...
the kids could decorate.
It could look messy,
but if you look at it closely, it's a lot of fun.
(Here are our friends in dreamland.)
Right. Those are the kids that were here temporarily.
We always take a picture before they leave.
(The kids that were here for a short time)
This child.
Wait.
It's him.
The dad just left him here.
You were on vacation, and I didn't know what to do.
Luckily, we had a few kids going to Yerim Angels' Home the next day,
so I sent him along with them.
Why didn't you tell me about this?
He only stayed here for a night.
It's not like he was registered.
I thought the orphanage would take care of it.
But we still took pictures before he left.
I made sure to see him get on the car safely.
I mean it.
Did you check if all of those kids...
arrived at Yerim Angels' Home safely?
You shouldn't work...
in childcare.
Ever.
Why didn't you tell us this was a parking note from the start?
I told you I wasn't myself.
I couldn't remember it.
I already told you everything!
Then when did you remember it?
Did you remember when the insurance company declined to pay?
You're the incompetent one for thinking it was a suicide.
Why are you pestering me?
I need you to cooperate.
You're getting insurance money now.
There are more things you didn't tell us, right?
- Like what? - I feel like there's more.
There isn't.
I already told you everything.
I told you everything I know.
You don't like me, do you?
I'm trying to help you find the criminal,
but you're getting angry with me. How can I say anything?
What is that?
Did you get a new phone already?
What is it?
This is my old phone. It doesn't work.
Why are you charging it if it doesn't work?
I use it for wifi.
What do you do when you have wifi?
I read the news, play games, and chat with people.
Why are you asking me so many questions?
Do I look like I don't do those things?
I need you to trace what she's been doing again.
Check her acquaintances too.
If she's related to the crime,
she wouldn't ask us for a reinvestigation.
From the very beginning until now,
she's been acting strangely.
There must be a reason why.
They found a space for Ha Na in a group home.
(A policy to have 1 custodian and 4 to 5 kids live together.)
Should I call Ms. Cha?
Leave it. I'll call her.
Hello?
I found out who the kid is.
The kid? What kid?
The one who died in the accident.
Just a moment.
How did you find him?
Where are you? I'll come over.
Okay.
What's going on?
Get out.
Shouldn't you at least tell me what's going on?
Do I have to report everything to you?
Get out.
His name was Jung Sook Woo. He was seven years old.
The orphanage sent him to Chunsawon.
Chunsawon sent him back because his name wasn't on the list.
The driver who brought him back...
said he did his duty by dropping the kid off by the gate.
When was that?
March 28.
And the accident?
It happened 2 days later on the 30th.
The kid traveled from Anseong...
to Seoul on his own over two days.
This is the child's dad's number.
I can't get through.
We'll look into it.
Don't hope for too much.
People give fake numbers...
If he wanted to hide his identity,
he'd have chosen a street and not an orphanage.
I'm sure you'll find something.
Okay.
I hope so.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be bothering you with this.
It's fine. Don't mind.
This is my job.
There's something else.
We have evidence An Seok Won was murdered.
- What? - We have dashboard footage...
of the killer lighting the charcoal and then leaving.
We got it just now.
Is it related to Ha Na's mom...
who was killed in the storage room?
We're considering the same guy did it.
It's not the official stance though.
You said that...
they were being judged for harassing children.
That could be cause for murder.
That.
It happened two hours after he parked there.
He'd have pretended to drink with An Seok Won...
for two hours and slipped him a sedative.
An Seok Won fell asleep,
and the killer lit the charcoal and left.
So An Seok Won died.
What did I say?
I said it was too weird to be suicide.
Are you thrilled that you're right?
Yes. I'm proud.
Get out and get the killer.
What about my disobedient partner?
You want a switch? No can do.
If you weren't going to switch her, you shouldn't have played us.
When did I play you?
You told her not to report to me.
It's because you keep causing a mess.
Is this a mess?
Ji Heon. We have a mountain of cases,
and you keep expanding existing ones.
I got anxious, that's all.
You're all good,
but you think too much.
You snowball everything.
A case should remain a case, but you spin stories out of them.
Gi Tae. "Investigating is creativity."
Who said that?
10 years ago when I was a rookie,
you said that to me.
Don't you remember?
- I don't. - You got old-fashioned already.
Don't talk to me like that.
Okay, captain.
"Investigating is creativity." It's my favorite quote.
Why?
Because the senior I respect the most said it to me.
I'll work hard on the case.
Will you trust me?
Stop playing both sides.
I will be going, sir.
Get out.
Go.
What's all this?
What have you been doing?
I got the result for the number you told me to trace.
Talk.
Let's see.
- Hey! - My gosh.
The number was Jung Gwang Yeon's, a male born in 1995.
Why is he unreachable?
He closed the account three months ago.
How old is he?
He was born in 1995. So he'd be 23.
- Too young to be a dad. - That's true.
He has a five-year-old daughter.
What?
He got up to a lot for a 23-year-old.
Marriage, divorce, single with two kids.
What is it about? Is it related to this?
You make me do things and never explain!
He had his first kid at 17...
and the second at 19.
A kid had a kid.
He left the kid at the orphanage...
around the time of his divorce.
He couldn't manage two young kids on his own.
It looks like a lot of the houses here are empty.
Shall we take a short break?
14-4.
I think this is it.
Is this a trash heap or junk yard?
This isn't it.
Let's check the row that starts with 14-3.
Woo Kyung.
Would someone live here?
People live in worse conditions.
He's in his early 20s.
He'd stay at a motel instead of a place like this.
There's no one here.
Watch your step.
There's another door.
Detective!
What's this?
What's a kid doing here?
She's alive.
Hurry, hurry!
(Emergency Medical Center)
- How is she? - It looks like dehydration.
- Can you step aside? Make way. - Stand aside.
Check her vitals.
Get more fluids.
- Quick. - Okay.
I thought...
you were the sister of the boy I killed.
I don't know exactly who you are.
I think I know why...
you're here.
You want to save children, right?
(Episode 12 will air shortly.)
You want to save children.
Children who are hurt.
I'm still curious...
about who you really are.
Who...
are you?
She was exhausted from being cold and hungry.
She's no longer in critical condition.
And someone from the welfare center is coming for her.
What about the child's dad?
We're searching, so he'll be arrested soon.
You did it, Woo Kyung.
You saved a child.
You did.
Why didn't you wake me up?
It's okay. We just arrived.
Thank you for today.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
You still see her, right?
You saw her at the hospital.
Right?
Did you go see a doctor?
It's a delusion.
It's caused by stress.
He said that I'll be fine when I take medicine.
So are you taking your medicine?
I'm okay with seeing her now.
Shouldn't you be not okay with it?
Poor Ha Na...
and that child today.
How else could we have found them?
I'll just be a crazy woman.
Wait.
You're not crazy. You're completely fine.
You can't solve anything if you stay defensive.
You should find out the reason.
Find out who the child is and why she keeps coming.
Do you...
want to know?
You've been right all along.
I didn't believe you at first,
but you were right.
Whether it was a coincidence or not.
That's why I want to know...
who she is.
I mean it.
Shall we make her montage?
I'll think about it.
If you need any help,
please let me know.
Thank you. You've helped a lot.
You should go.
Good night.
Ms. Jeon Soo Young.
Ji Heon.
Ji Young.
Thank you. I owe you.
- Take care. - See you.
Did you drink a lot?
I drank a lot.
It's nothing to brag about.
Don't you have a family?
Why did you have him contact me?
I don't.
Your police friend looked through my phone.
He must have called the one on my recent call list.
I never mentioned you.
So you have nothing to apologize?
Why did you beat up a man?
He groped my body.
Why didn't you report him for sexual harassment?
I beat him up, so it's not necessary.
You're proud of yourself, aren't you?
You're upset at me.
I hope you won't be anymore.
What?
Captain Hong ordered me not to report about An Seok Won's wife.
I had no choice but to follow his order.
Are you saying that you aren't ashamed of anything?
You knew that...
An Seok Won had torn the parking ticket.
You knew it could've been a crucial evidence for murder.
However, out of fear for disobeying, you didn't report to me?
It's not about following orders.
It's a question of conscience as a detective.
Aren't you ashamed?
I'm ashamed.
What else?
Am I upset?
Are we equal? Are we friends?
What are you looking at? Eat.
Shall I read it for you?
She's sociable and positive.
She'll adjust quickly.
My children are excited to have a sister.
Ha Na, I'm leaving.
Gosh, Ha Na.
You must be happy to have sisters and brothers.
This lady will take good care of you.
You still have to come to the center, okay?
I'll miss you so much, Ha Na.
Hello?
I heard you killed my son.
I just heard the news, and I'm shocked.
What on earth happened?
- This one works. - This is better.
The top is small.
- Wait. - Be quiet.
You're too loud. Shut your mouth.
Continue.
Yes.
Ma'am, I think we should meet.
(Mister, I have no money. Can you let this one go?)
Are you Seok Woo's mother?
What's wrong with you?
You're embarrassing me. Do you have to call me that?
You also found Hee Soo, right?
She was abandoned in the house.
That foolish imbecile.
I was cursing at my ex-husband.
You had a baby at such a young age.
It must have been hard.
I was speechless.
Have you met Hee Soo?
Why should I? It's not like I'll raise her.
The doctors must be giving her the treatment she needs.
He was fleeing from...
the Anseong Orphanage to Seoul.
That's how he got in the accident.
I think he wanted to go home.
He was probably trying to see Hee Soo. He loved her.
He should have sent the kids to the orphanage together.
The jerk that calls himself dad is mentally slow.
What kind...
What kind of kid was Seok Woo?
He was smart enough to teach himself Korean.
His parents are dumb and useless.
I don't know how such a child was born.
We were really surprised.
I can't believe such a child died. What a pity.
(Credit Capital)
(Incoming call)
This is a picture Seok Woo drew.
So, how much will you give me?
You're not going to act ignorant after killing him, are you?
Once we find the dad, we should discuss...
Just forget about him.
He's probably gambling like a zombie again.
I'll give you a good deal, so let's end it quickly.
How about 10,000 dollars?
I think that's not something we can decide right now.
(Oz Capital)
Fine. I'm in a good mood.
Actually, I'm about to get killed in Seoul...
because of my credit card debt.
We'll call it even if you settle it for me.
All I need is 5,000 dollars.
Right. I run an internet show.
Can you tell the old men around you?
It's really racy, so they should tip me a lot.
I have to go for another shoot. I have to go.
- Right? - He's walking strangely.
He's avoiding the camera.
All you see is his hat and his glasses.
The resolution is really bad. So it's hard to say.
I need you to trace his steps...
by checking all of the cameras in the area.
Ji Heon.
This is the record of the insurance money...
Kim Dong Sook received in the past,
as well as her medical records.
The amount she received for fractures, cuts, and cracks...
is 35,700 dollars in the last 7 years.
This is her bank record.
Whenever she received it, she withdrew it immediately.
Her last withdrawal was 3,000 dollars,
which matches the amount her late husband left behind.
He's been dirt poor,
but he finally found a way to get money.
- What way? - I don't know.
He was excited to get some easy money soon.
That easy money...
was insurance money from beating up his wife.
He registered his daughter for insurance two months ago.
Just two weeks after registration, her finger was fractured.
It wasn't just Dong Sook.
The child's safety was threatened too.
It's a good reason to kill her husband.
(Suspect Kim Dong Sook?)
Did you look into the people from Dreamland Orphanage?
After eliminating those who live abroad, who are imprisoned,
and those who died, we were down...
to seven men. When we researched,
we couldn't find anyone suspicious.
Do you think Kim Dong Sook killed An Seok Won...
and Lee Hye Sun too?
Their methods of killing were too different to be the same person.
When it's a serial murder...
What if punishment was the purpose instead of murder?
Then it would be different from most serial cases.
Similar patterns, each with different suspects.
There's something in common.
The person who found...
Lee Hye Sun's corpse in a remote storage...
was Cha Woo Kyung.
She was also the counselor for Seok Won's daughter.
Also, she gave an important testimony...
for Park Ji Hye's case.
It was all Cha Woo kyung.
The one common denominator for these cases...
is Cha Woo Kyung.
Hey.
You surprised me.
I have something to give to you.
This is where Seok Woo is.
He must miss his mom a lot.
I doubt it. He hates me.
I promised him...
that I'd...
bring his family to him.
So please, could you...
go visit him just once?
Lady. I don't want to go somewhere so eerie.
You're his mother.
Don't you feel sorry for him?
Runny noses and tears.
I hate them all.
No matter how young you are, you're still a mother.
He's your son. He's your child!
Lady.
Do you have any right to say this to me?
I'm the one who lost a child.
And you're his murderer.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E12 Children of Nobody "Terrible Mothers" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
"Knock, knock, knock."
"'Guys, your mom is here.'"
"'Please open the door for me.'"
"'Wait, that's not Mom's voice.'"
"'I had to climb three hills.'"
"'So I lost my voice.'"
"The one that knocked on the door wasn't their mom."
"It was a tiger who was dressed in their mom's disguise."
Why did the tiger dress in their mom's disguise?
Because the children would only open the door for their mom.
If they open the door,
will the tiger eat the kids?
I'm so scared.
Again.
Are you sleepy?
- Is Eun Seo in bed? - Yes.
Say hi to Dad.
It must've been a lot of work...
setting that table, Mom.
How old were you when you married Dad?
24, I think.
Did you want to...
marry a man with two kids at that young age?
I guess that was my fate.
You're so gruff and unfriendly.
Dad was so kind and sweet.
I remember going through our photo album with him as a kid.
"This was us doing this."
"We were doing this then."
He would explain every photo to us.
Why do you think...
Why did Dad looked at the photos so much?
I should get him some water.
Thanks, Mom.
Thank you for raising...
me and Se Kyung so well.
Do you mean that?
What do you mean, Mom?
Sometimes, I don't know what you're thinking.
Mom.
Let's clean up.
He bought the charcoal...
and walked along the road to a subway station.
The video's grainy,
but the odd hat is easy to follow.
Here's the first mystery.
Why did An Seok Won take the subway just to buy a pack of charcoal?
He wanted to avoid meeting someone he knew at the store.
20 minutes on foot, 3 by car,
30 minutes by subway considering waiting and walking time.
Why did he choose the most inefficient option?
Would a suicidal man be in his right mind?
Fine. The second mystery.
Why did we lose track of him here?
This is it?
He vanished after this frame.
But here comes a twist.
There's a blind spot,
so we don't know where An Seok Won went.
But in that blind spot happens to be a restroom.
Look at this.
Exactly 12 minutes 47 seconds later.
Ta-da. The husband vanished, but the wife appeared.
- Is there more? - Of course there is.
Look at An Seok Won's gait.
Like you said before, he limps on the left side.
You can see here where it's clearer.
And then...
Kim Dong Sook, the wife.
Well?
Don't they look similar?
Shall we put them both up?
They both limp slightly with their left leg.
Their height, arm movement,
upper body angle and shoulder height are a match.
These two are the same person.
Will you keep denying it's you?
Lady.
There must be...
a reason you disguised as your husband to buy the charcoal.
It's not me.
We scientifically analyzed and proved it's you.
Denying won't get you anywhere.
Don't blame an innocent person.
You didn't mention where you got the 3,000 dollars.
Look.
(Insurance Payments)
We can prove you got paid for injuries...
caused by your husband's violence.
You wanted him dead.
You thought you'd die.
You were scared.
You wanted to kill him...
for breaking your daughter's finger to get insurance payments.
No.
I didn't kill him.
If he didn't die, you probably would.
Your daughter might.
And you did nothing?
What mom does that?
I didn't kill him.
I didn't kill him!
Detective. I didn't kill him.
I don't think you did.
I believe you.
I really do.
But the motivation, tools, faked suicide scene.
All the evidence points to you.
I have to hand you over to a prosecutor.
In court, you'll face a judge.
With all this evidence, he'll find you guilty.
You'll become a woman who killed her husband.
There must be a way.
There must be something...
that can prove you didn't kill your husband.
- Do you believe me? - Yes.
Good. You must believe me as much as I believe you.
Okay.
If we work together, we'll get to the bottom of this.
You can't let yourself get framed.
What about your daughter then?
Who made you do it?
Hello.
I wanted to say thank you.
Here are some cookies.
Eat one whenever you're hungry.
Did you find the boy?
Yes, thanks to you.
His name was Jung Seok Woo.
I even met his mom.
That's good.
It is.
Were you drawing?
Just sketching. I was bored.
Then Eun Ho.
Could you do me a favor?
Someone must've told you to...
dress up like your husband and buy the charcoal.
He'd have told you which store to go to.
The camera footage had to be grainy.
If you don't talk, I can't help you even if I want to.
Will you not talk?
He's not a bad person.
I'm sure he's not bad.
He just wanted to help you.
He listened to all my sob stories.
He comforted me a lot.
I'm very grateful towards him.
You can't go down...
for murder because of some nice man.
Right?
He was really worried about So Ra.
He's a really good person.
That good person.
Who is he?
Yes. Her fringe was a bit short.
She had a bob and the end was curled in.
They looked a bit like this.
Her face was...
a bit egg-shaped.
She had dark eyebrows.
Her double eyelids. They were dark.
- Does it look like her? - Yes.
Now we just need the lips.
You can't talk?
Okay. Fine.
Get an arrest warrant.
Red Cry.
What?
He made me do it.
Red Cry.
He told me everything I had to do.
How big was her mouth?
Was it big? Or an average size?
She had a habit of laughing...
with her chin upward.
She was...
always laughing.
I know her.
I know...
the girl.
