Why can't kids live without their mothers?
You can. I'll help you so that you can.
My mom threw me in the trash!
I'll take you with me.
To a place where no one knows, thousands of kilometers away.
Now, you are throwing your mom away.
Will you be able to do that?
- Episode 2- A place 8,000 kilometers away from here.
That's Iceland. It will be a far and dangerous road.
It's the rent for next month. You are going to give the deposit right away, right?
Please take your cash. Thank you.
Money Withdrawal
Please take your cash.
It could be a greater wound to you.
But... I was always curious.
How do the birds fly in the sky?
How does flying to a far away place feel?
Will I be able to go someday?
Ms. Ye Eun, I am hoping that I don't have to send this letter to you.
Because only when my plan does not go as planned and when I am not able to take Hye Na and leave this country
do I plan to send this letter to you.
What I am worried about the most now, rather than being arrested for kidnapping,
is Hye Na going back to her mom and that man because things went wrong.
That's why Mom... hit me here and here.
She kicked my tummy.
Does your mom hit you often?
She also pushed me on the stairs.
I'll tell you a secret.
That child's name was Lee Won Hee.
The man is a much more dangerous person than we think.
Please look through the materials I have put together and am sending
Please help so that Hye Na does not go back to those people.
I think there is no one other than you that would be fit for this task.
Even if you report me to the police, I won't resent you.
Please deal with this as you think is right.
Strangely, I feel like you are the only person who would understand me.
If we met under different circumstances, we could have been good friends.
Thank you.
[Mother / Call Me Mother]
The day Teacher Soo Jin laughed for the first time
Lee Won Hee of Small Spring Class, Daddy-long-legs Kindergarten
Hye Na! Hye Na!
The Day of Hye Na's Disappearance
It's cafe latte.
Won't you drink it?
Should I teach you how to apply makeup?
Mom...
really likes uncle a lot.
If he were to leave, Mom will die.
So you have to be good.
If Uncle leaves because of you, how do you think Mom will feel?
You're also happy when Mom is, right?
Say it.
I'm also happy when Mom is happy.
Okay. You're pretty now.
Go and buy a new hamster.
I said you can buy a new hamster.
What? I was being thoughtful.
Hey, kid! It's dangerous to play there.
Today the wind is so strong that a kid like you would be taken by the winds.
Go home before it snows!
Okay.
So? Is Soo Jin in Mooryeong?
Yes. That's as far as the people in New Zealand know.
But they said it was 3 years since she went there.
Are you going to go there directly?
Yes. From Gimpo.
Okay. It's hard to leave once you take a rest.
It's harder to go directly. Noonim.
You're working hard, Jae Beom.
This time you meet her, please save the contact information. Think about my age.
Okay. I'm going into a shoot now.
You... Hello? Noon... Noonim!
She only says what she has to say.
Let's go, Jae Beom.
Yes, Oppa?
I'm going to Seoul on a delivery.
When are you coming back?
One or two days later.
You should have told me in advance so that...
It looks like it'll snow. Bye.
Where's the kid? Isn't she eating?
I told her to go home since it's going to snow.
She was walking back and forth just now.
Kid!
Kid, where are you?
Kid! Kid!
Who did you come to see?
Yes, it's Kang Soo Jin. I heard she lives here.
She moved out yesterday.
Yes, it's here.
Come in.
Automated Ticketing Machine
Incheon Metropolitan City "Automated ticketing machine."
Let's go.
Don't drive from now on! It would be faster to take a taxi.
I'm sorry. Snow means slow driving.
Punk.
Do ambulances and firetrucks drive slow, too, whenever it snows?
She was playing by herself for days so we took her in to feed her ramyun,
but today the wind was strong so I told her to hurry and go home.
But then the child disappeared and that was floating on the sea...
A point 900m south, on the sea, an item that seems to belong to the missing child has been found.
Yes, thank you. Let's go.
Yes, yes.
So cute.
Here.
You can't stand out in front of people.
But then... He can't speak.
Is this your daughter's bag?
1-3, Kim Hye Na
Grade 1 Class 3 Kim Hye Na, is that right?
Amber alert. An elementary school girl disappeared from Baek Seom Village, Muryeong, Gangwon Province.
The police are investigating.
As of now, the police still could not find a trace of where the child is.
They are experiencing difficulties in the investigations.
The missing child is named Kim Hye Na, a 9-year old girl.
She is about 110cm, weighs about 20kgs and has a nail-sized purple mark on the left armpit.
She was wearing a red coat, jeans and yellow...
The weather is not good so they said it would be difficult to search further.
Tell them to continue for a bit more. Just for a bit more.
Look at that.
Even when it's snowing, the birds fly.
What you said was right.
Don't look outside.
And you can't call me "Ms. Soo Jin".
Oops.
Something happened at home. Don't come home for the time being.
What's she saying?
Sin Ja Yeong
The customer cannot answer the phone right now.
Gangwon News.
It happened near Baek Seom Port.
According to the testimony of the witness who last saw Kim Hye Na,
she seems to have come here, Baek Seom Port, all by herself before her disappearance.
I'll say it once again.
The name of the missing child is Kim Hye Na from Baek Seom Elementray School Grade 1, 9-years old.
Can you check if she's safe and tell me.
If she came to school, if she went home safely.
I don't know. It just seems like something will happen.
She was wearing a red coat and yellow shoes when she went missing.
If anyone has seen or is taking care...
The number you dialed does not exist.
Please verify the number and call again.
The missing child's name is Kim Hye Na.
Hye Na's face will be shown on television?
You have to give permission for us to reveal it.
If we do that, it would make finding the child easier.
Weren't you looking for her after she fell in the sea?
If she fell in the sea
even if we find her now, she would be dead.
But then, if ever she just lost her way or someone took her, then we should hurry and find her.
Usually, if we don't find her within 48 hours then the chances of finding her would be slim.
If we use the amber alert system and if the child's face is shown through TV or electric billboards,
then the people would be on the look out too.
It would be hard to get out of this region if someone could have taken her.
I don't want to.
Hye Na is a very timid and shy girl.
And me too... I don't want her face advertised all over the place
to be known to people. I can't live like that.
Detective. A teacher from Hye Na's school.
Hello.
What happened? Hye Na has disappeared?
Yes.
Did you check what the mother was doing at the time? - What?
Why are you like this?!
There's also a man she lives with.
Check what he was doing...
Honey. Calm down. We need to go on our honeymoon.
What honeymoon in this circumstance?
We need to give you a new name.
What name?
Hye Na is a child that went missing in the sea.
Is there a name you want?
Yoon Bok.
Yoon Bok?
There's a store called Yoon Bok's and
the kid always gets to eat curry rice, omurice and donkatsu. (Omurice = rice omelet; donkatsu = pork cutlet)
Do you wish to be Yoon Bok?
That's fine.
Try calling me that.
Yoon Bok.
Kim Yoon Bok.
Yes.
Try calling me "mom".
Teacher, are you my mom now?
Even if I call you Yoon Bok now, you don't suddenly become Yoon Bok.
Little by little, it will be like that.
Even though I can't suddenly become Yoon Bok's mom right away,
little by little, I think it will become like that.
That way you'll become Yoon Bok some day, and I'll become Yoon Beok's mom.
Isn't that so?
But instead of now, I'll do it later.
Is that okay?
Okay.
But you can't call me teacher because you might make a mistake in an emergency situation.
Okay.
Yoon Bok? Yoon Bok? Yoon Bok?
Child's mother, where are you going to?
Do you want me to give you a ride?
No need.
She's sleeping. How are you going to take her?
My car is parked outside waiting. I'll give you a ride.
No, it's okay.
Okay then!
Let's go.
Yoon Bok! Kim Yoon Bok!
Yoon Bok!
Please help me.
If you don't help me, we can't go.
C'mon, get in, get in! You won't be able to catch a taxi.
Come ride along. Come in.
The kid is cold. Get in quickly.
I assume you don't have anywhere else to go. Why are you being stubborn?
Thank you.
But where are you going?
If you haven't yet decided where to go, just come to my house.
It's okay. If I go to the South entrance of Incheon station...
My house is a guest house. Even though we invite over many foreigners, our place is not weird at all.
Are you going to wander about with her in this cold weather?
Just come to my house. I'll give you a discount.
What were you doing at the time?
I was working.
Do you normally leave your child on her own?
Detective, when I was a kid, even if my mom was home, I played outside all day.
Everyone grew up like that.
This is the number of my shop's manager.
She'll tell you I was there at the time.
Does your child know anyone at the pier?
No.
- Then why would she go there? - I don't know.
That place is 35 minutes away from your house with an adult's pace.
If a child walked there, it would've taken over an hour.
Our house raises 3 boys: 7, 10, and 12 years old.
In order to make those three walk for even 20 minutes, I would probably have to pay them or hit them.
But how does your child think of walking to the pier for over an hour?
Even though she's in Grade 1, with the outside temperature to be -5 degrees.
My Hye Na has always been like that.
When she goes out to chase a cat, she comes with her clothes ripped. And when she goes to feed a dog, she comes with bite marks.
She's even come home at 12 o'clock because she was counting the number of mailboxes near our home.
What can I do when she's always been like that?
Your child might be dead right now.
If that's not it, and she's counting mailboxes, you know we should somehow be out there searching for her.
Who were you texting a few minutes ago?
I heard there's a man who lives with you.
He has nothing to do with this.
Can I have his phone number?
Oppa!
I came as soon as I got your text. I'm so late, aren't I?
Hye Na has disappeared.
Don't cry. It's okay.
It's not that we live together.
I deliver a lot of products near this area, so I stay at my girlfriend's house a lot.
- When did you last see Hye Na? - Last night.
Because my girlfriend was coming home late, I ate some kimbap and played hide-and-seek with Hye Na.
That detective isn't easy.
- What do you mean? - If you can, just don't say anything.
If we become disadvantaged, it would be better to just cry. If your kid actually died, that would be natural.
Also, if he asks about me, just say I always took good care of her like her biological dad.
Say that. Don't uselessly avoid questions.
Why do I have to do that? We didn't kill Hye Na.
Don't you get it? With the marks on her body, even if they find her dead or alive, we'll be investigated first.
I'm not going back into jail no matter what. Get it?
Okay.

♪ A bicycle is coming, ring ring
Teacher, am I not heavy?
You're heavy.
Then why are you holding me?
Because I'm afraid I'm going to lose you. I have to hold on tightly until we're in Iceland.
Because I might lose you.
Today was fun.
Can I buy a "Things that I like" notebook tomorrow?
Trying to hold onto the things that I started liking today is so hard.
What are the things you started liking today?
A seagull that looks really small, teacher's smell, and my name.
Kang Soo Jin!
Did she leave already?
"Uphill 72" is right though.
In this situation, the mom didn't go out to buy some morning coffee, right?
What kind of homework did Kang Soo Jin give me?
[Viki Ver] tvN E02 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Here, try the Egg Soup.
It's tasty, Grandma! It's very tasty!
Is it? Ah, okay. Eat a lot.
My mom also cooks very well.
Is that so? What is she good at making?
Curry rice. It's the most delicious one in the world.
Also omurice and donkatsu.
I owe you so much.
I'll pay you the room and the meal fee.
Are you going to go for a walk?
Look at the woman. When we live as one, everyone has experienced it.
When we see that someone needs help, we check it out immediately.
It's not a big deal to help anyway.
Otherwise, we couldn't have lived here so long.
Can I go out to play... Mom?
Sure, not too long though, Yoon Bok.
Where are you planning to go? Do you have everything you need?
Ship ticket, plane ticket. Oh yes, and a nameless ticket.
What's that?
Ride a boat out of here and then ride another boat from over there.
Then no one will know where you went.
Do you perhaps know where I can get the passport? My child's passport.
Let's go! Tae Woong, let's go.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
I'll be right back.
Tae Woong! Ah, so adorable.
You grew up pretty wealthy, didn't you?
How far will you be able to go? I can tell right away that she isn't your child.
You're wrong. I didn't grow up in a wealthy household and she's my child.
We're going to go farther than you can imagine. You can count on it.
Ah... maybe it's because I raised my kids without their father.
I'm a softie for these kinds of stories.
But I don't know if they'd want to sell it to you. They don't deal with the local people.
Hey! It's me. She's a little girl and she's about 7 years old.
She might look like an 8 year old, too.
Can you get the product?
You can't cancel once you order.
Even if you have problems leaving the country, you have to deal with it on your own, okay?
Yes? Oh, you have one?
That's good. Okay, I'll go get it.
But a child's passport is expensive so they want a lot of money.
A lot? Around one million won?
Aw, you're cute.
The child said she wasn't hit. What could I possibly do?
She held her mom's hand tightly and said that she wasn't hit, every time I asked,
saying that she wasn't lying.
Right? Every time these kinds of things happen, people curse the policemen out,
but do they think they could have done anything differently?
- What? - Excuse me?
Say something if there's something on your mind!
It seemed like a lie, when the mom and child were talking.
They both looked miserable.
You bastard! Then what did you do? Is this your first time seeing a miserable family?
Why are you saying these things now?
After the child got listed as missing, I kept thinking of what I could have done.
After visiting the child's house, I had an uneasy feeling. I think I knew that this would've eventually happened.
What do you mean you knew that this would happen? This was an accident.
The mom didn't push her child into the water. These kinds of accidents happen.
Hey! Saying it bluntly, weren't you hit while growing up?
When we think about it, we don't know whether the child would've said the truth if her mom was there or not there.
Even if the child had said she was abused and been sent to an institution,
we don't know if the situation would have been any better.
That's right! We have no way of knowing.
But Hyungnim! Now that things are like this, shouldn't we do everything we can?
Check the nearby CCTV's and black-boxes of cars on the day, time, and location they claimed she was hit by a baseball.
Check the staircase incident and its day, time, and location also.
Whether we find her or not, I'm still going to request a warrant if there's evidence they were abusive.
I'm sorry, Mr. Manager.
You're having a hard time because of me, right?
I think I can go back to work after a week.
Yes. Please do that.
Thank you.
Yes, thank you.
What can I do? I have no black clothes.
What if Hye Na isn't dead?
Why are you acting this way? Then where else could she be?
That detective doesn't know Hye Na. She can find. her way in the streets better than I do.
Sure, even if she's lost, she knows our home address and telephone numbers.
I think I saw her.
Who? Hye Na?
Yeah.
That's not possible. Then, why didn't you tell the police?
Because I wasn't sure.
When? Where?
After you sent me the text, on the bus next to me.
Oppa, I've also been mistaken like that a lot.
After Mom died, I thought I saw my Mom multiple times on the streets.
Do you wish for Hye Na to be dead?
How can you say that?
Do you wish for her to never come back?
Do you think I'm not sad, Oppa?
I feel like my head's going to explode. I'm so scared. I hate myself.
Because I think she died because of me.
Whatever.
It's best for everyone in this situation if Hye Na were dead.
What if she isn't dead?
It would bother me. A lot.
Mr. Pyo Eun Cheol?
Yes?
My name is Park Jae Beom.
What is this about?
Uh, I am looking for Kang Soo Jin.
She isn't at school nor at home.
Her phone can't be reached either, right?
Yes. I really need to find her.
- Why is that? - It's a family issue.
I'm not sure where she is either.
Her mother's very sick.
By her mother you mean...
Yes, the actress Cha Yeong Sin. She's very sick right now.
If Soo Jin doesn't come, she says that she won't consent to her surgery.
Icelandic Ornithology Center.
- Excuse me? - She probably went there.
She said she was going there when I last saw her.
I only have her email address.
If you need the center's address or phone number, I can look it up for you.
Wait a minute... Iceland?
Come here.
When something goes wrong, Child's Mother, when you know unnecessary information, it makes it tough for both of us.
The process of living is very complicated.
You should know that.
We're here.
Ah, yeah.
There. We're here.
- Did you bring a picture? - No.
Come this way.
Sit here.
Take off your hat.
Push back your hair.
Did you catch that Vietnamese woman?
I didn't. I don't feel good about this.
I chased her all the way to Muryeong, with the baby on my back and in that weather.
What we won't do for money!
- Stay still. - Money is more precious than your own child.
When she knows very well what I'm going to do with her child...
Did you sell the baby?
Boys get sold as soon as they're put on the market.
Done.
Young Mother, you're lucky.
Children's passports are not in demand, so we don't usually stock them.
But one just happened to be available.
Didn't you bring it?
Can't I give it to you after I get the goods?
Madam, your niece is very shrewd.
Just see how hard her hand is gripping this.
My niece tends not to trust other people's words.
These gentlemen do not haggle for each sale.
Not only 100% upfront payments are required but also until they come into suitable goods,
buyers usually need to wait with no end in sight.
But because you came with me, you can buy one like you're shopping in a department store.
It's okay. Trust them and leave it to them.
We can't trust any stranger, either.
- Then I will wait here until the goods are ready. - Aish!
Madam! Is that woman a whackjob? Why is she so slow to catch the drift?
Because the Madam brought you, you can
see my face, talk to me and take out money before my eyes right now.
Do you get what I'm saying? Otherwise, you are not even allowed to know my face.
Here, take this and wait for a call.
After one or two hours, you'll get a message with where to go.
If you go there and wait, you'll get a new message.
Like "open Locker #__" or "there is a shopping bag on a certain bench."
If the circumstances continue to unsuitable,
we can make you keep moving, from a terminal to a station to a park.
Even if your body has it rough, isn't it better than getting caught by the cops? Right?
The number you just called does not exist.
Please verify and make your call again.
Why? What's wrong?
Jjing...
The number you are calling now...
I miss him.
Please try again.
He liked red bean filled bread so much.
Put on your shoes. We must leave right now.
Marsha House
Are you crazy?! Move over fast!
I can't move over. Give me the passport now.
Young mother, come to your senses! Do you think the passport is important at this point?
Everyone is about to get caught. The factory was busted.
What about my money?
Just get it from the police.
Ask them for reimbursement because you cannot get the fake passport you paid for, thanks to the police.
What makes you think you're so special? Everyone has just lost all their money and is rUnnieng away
without being able to pack even our toothbrushes.
Oh, fudge! Get in, for now. Get in first and let's talk.
Hurry up and get in!
Hurry, hurry!
The Vietnamese woman ratted on us.
- I guess she thought she could get her child back this way? - I am going to get the passport no matter what.
Okay, okay, I got it, I got it.
Where are we going?
We have to hide in an island for the time being.
Wait here. We have to make some calls and buy tickets, too.
Excuse me. Run away now.
Run away while you have all four limbs and your body parts are still intact. Hurry.
I cannot go because I can't function as a proper human being,
but the only thing you've got robbed of so far is money. So what is stopping you?
Once on the island, you cannot come out of it, looking like a normal person. Whether an adult
or a child.
Your lives are too precious for that.
Mom.
Are you crying?
Will you not make me talk for a little while?
Yoon Bok.
Yoon Bok!
Yoon Bok.
Yoon Bok!
Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok! Hye Na!
Are you okay now?
I'm sorry. I'm not angry at you but myself.
I know. You really wanted to go to Iceland, right?
If it weren't for me, you would have already left, right?
We will go, just a bit slowly, because I will find a way no matter what.
I'm not scared, Mom.
So I'm the only who needs to become brave.
But can't we walk slowly?
Yes. I'm sorry. Let's go.
This isn't an accidental death but a murder.
The school, child protection agency, and police. Everybody was a bystander in this case.
No one took interest in Hye Na's pain while she was alive.
I recorded everything there.
I am going on my honeymoon but I am going to keep watching you.
When I return, my first stop to say hello will be here and you'd better have something to tell me by then.
People tell me that I am a bit dogged.
You've organized this very well.
You must have been a good student while in school.
But I think you are mistaken about one thing, Teacher.
Chuncheon
Chuncheon.
Let's go.
Even veteran policemen hate cases related to children.
After you run around looking for a child like crazy, if you find the dead child in an oil barrel cemented shut, how would you feel?
You feel like permanently retiring your eating utensils (i.e. dying).
But what if you can never find the child?
I don't consider this an accidental death case.
If the dead body has not been found, it is a missing person case.
Whether it is live Hye Na or dead Hye Na, until I see her with my own eyes,
I am going to tear into this case.
People tell me I give them the heebie jeebies.
Because I latch on and don't let go.
A long time ago, there was a baby rabbit who wanted to run away.
"Mom, I'm going to run away."
Then the rabbit mom said "If you run away, I'll come after you."
"Because you're my sweet child".
Then the little rabbit said:
"Then I will become a fish and hide in the river." And the mommy rabbit said,
"If you become a fish, I will become a fisherman and
Whoosh!
I will catch and bring you back."
Hey, no!
What are you doing instead of eating?
I'm home.
- You're here? - Yeah.
You've worked hard.
I'm sorry for coming alone.
I don't have an appetite today.
They are going to have a talk without me again.
Hey! If you are going to keep playing around, don't eat!
Can't I rest just for a week before going on the search again?
It's not even Japan or China. Humanly speaking, it's too exhausting.
Right, I'd like that, too,
if I can tell my cancer cells to stop their metastasis just for a week.
Noonim, why do you have to put it that way?
Please make it a business class ticket.
Soo Jin, that kid, why did she have to go all the way to Iceland, huh? There isn't even a direct flight...
No,
they keep whispering just between themselves. There is something going on, for sure.
Don't you know anything?
Unnie, I'll call you later.
Yes, Sunbaenim.
There was a fight using sashimi knives at an illegal gambling site at Yeongdeungpo Port, early this morning.
None dead, two seriously injured and six slightly injured victims are in the hospital right now.
If no one died, forget it. Next.
The case of a girl falling into the sea and disappearing in Muryeong yesterday. They still haven't found her.
It's been 27 hours now.
Do you have a photo of the child?
No.
Never mind then. What else?
There was an abduction of a 30-year-old woman in Gumi today.
- Mom. - Yes?
Did your mom tell you bedtime stories too?
Yeah.
Then, Mom, did you too fall asleep,
thinking "ah, this feels so good"?
No. I fell asleep,
thinking "I'm sorry."
Why?
Because I wasn't my mom's real daughter.
I was an adopted child.
The rose of Sharon has blossomed.
Shall we go?
Don't. Don't. Don't.
Okay. I'm sorry. Don't cry, child.
- It's okay. Don't cry, child. Jeong Ae Won Orphanage

Where are we going to go tomorrow?
The house I lived in when I was six.
- You have to wash your hands after being outside. - Yes.
Can't we stay here, Mom?
A detective came today and asked me about you.
Has Ms. Kang Soo Jin ever talked about her students?
Tell me if you want to go to your Mom even now.
How sad will she be if I die?
Shall we go play hide-and-seek?
People will come to catch us if they know we are here.
