(Episode 1)
(The Ghost Detective)
(Two days ago)
If I had known that his business would fail...
Wait.
He should separate books and other stuff.
He lacks attention to details.
This is why he failed.
Hey, stop.
You're going to scratch the sofa.
I told you to just leave it there.
Then come and help me!
My gosh. People are...
Look at how you're wearing your shoes.
Darn it.
People are coming for the sofa soon.
What?
Oh, so you called a moving company.
I'm glad. I told you that we should call them.
I sold it on a used market.
What? Why did you do that? This was expensive.
Darn you.
Why you...
- How much did you get? - I got our belated rent.
We might have to sell my car too!
Why did you go into debt to start this?
Why haven't you told me about this before?
I wasn't proud about having no money.
Plus, we needed something like this in the office...
so that it didn't seem like an inquiry agency.
I knew it.
You told me that it was detective work,
but now you call it an inquiry agency.
Sang Seob.
You told me...
that the government will soon pass the law...
and that the job has a bright future.
What's that kind of car doing here?
Are they here to buy land?
Sang Seob, hurry up and carry it.
- What? Why? - We need to put it back.
- I'll go that way. - My gosh.
- You're taller. - Hurry.
Hurry up. 1, 2, 3.
I don't know about anything else,
but you're very quick with grasping what's going on.
I knew I made the right choice.
I know how to pick the right people.
Stop talking and carry it properly.
Gosh.
Both the man and the woman...
seemed like they'd ask for a discount.
Rich people are worse.
- No, wait. Wait! - What's wrong?
- Put it down! Now! - What is it?
- Now! - Why?
- My gosh! - What's wrong?
It got scratched.
What are we going to do?
What if the buyer decides not to buy it?
Hey.
Let's do the good cop-bad cop tactic.
I'll offer them a discount,
and you can just tell them to leave.
You're obviously the bad cop.
Do you want to be the good cop?
They're not here for the sofa.
Think about it.
They can't fit this in their car trunk.
How did you even start this business?
Hey, I'm Sherlock Holmes of love affairs.
Okay, I get it. Let's carry this.
We don't have time.
I shouldn't have put it down.
- 1, 2... - Wait. I'm shorter.
Gosh, how did you start all this?
Wait a second. I don't get it.
Then why are we draining ourselves...
by putting this back?
Because I don't think we'll have to sell it.
Come on.
Have some tea.
Are you moving?
No, we're remodeling.
It's so messy.
Can you get started right away?
I'm in a hurry.
Yes, of course.
That depends on...
what you want us to do.
These two kids went missing...
on the same day at different locations...
with a 30-minute time difference.
Song Eun Yool, seven years old.
It was around 7:20pm on August 21.
She vanished from the playground...
at Mirae Apartment.
Jung Ga Ram was also seven years old.
He disappeared from his room...
on the same day at about 7:50pm.
They've been missing for about a week,
and the police aren't getting anywhere.
Gosh.
I'm so sorry.
There's just one thing...
we're not allowed to do.
We can't interfere with a case that's currently...
being investigated by the police.
This case isn't exactly under investigation...
to be exact.
What are you saying?
There's one more kid that went missing...
from somewhere different on the same day...
at a different hour.
And you want us to find that kid.
What makes you think so?
I'd like to ask him the same question.
You really need to start being more descriptive.
It's rude.
Come on. She came with the kid's father.
He's desperate,
but he can't easily come inside...
because he doesn't want anyone to know about this.
He might be the father of 1 of these 2 kids.
Neither of them are his children.
(CEO Lee's interview, Threat? Company issues?)
("Meeting CEO Lee Kyung Woo")
("Let's meet CEO Lee Kyung Woo")
It's her.
Can you find her?
I'll be right back.
What? Where are you going all of a sudden?
That's so rude.
I'm going to try and build some trust...
with our actual client...
instead of his proxy.
No, not that. I want what's in your jacket.
What do you mean?
The threatening letter.
A CEO that's never revealed himself...
to the public eye...
suddenly volunteered to do an interview,
and his reason was because his daughter asked him to.
But unfortunately, that interview was done...
after his daughter had disappeared.
But he didn't tell anyone.
Plus, the content of the interview...
wasn't even that important or urgent.
But it got posted...
on the real-time feed of a portal site.
The kidnapper obviously made you to do all that.
If you had no choice but to use the internet...
to tell the culprit that you'll cooperate,
that means you didn't get to talk to him...
but rather received a one-way letter instead.
And he probably never contacted you ever since.
Attorney Baek must've told you everything.
If she told me everything, I wouldn't have even...
bothered to boast.
Where's your driver?
Did he go somewhere?
Pardon?
I noticed that you drove here yourself.
It seems like your wife's car.
CEOs normally don't have those kinds of stickers.
My driver's running an errand for me.
Report him to the police.
Are you saying my driver's the culprit?
He wrote that letter,
and he took your money.
But he didn't kidnap your kid.
How should I put this?
He benefitted from someone else's doing.
Something like that.
Mr. Lee.
Report him to the police.
Leave it to the police to see if it's right or not.
You pay a lot of taxes.
We're in trouble.
Not only have we failed to find the kids,
but there's one more.
Her dad's pretty famous.
If the press starts writing about this...
We got a report regarding the content of the letter,
so we'll check the security camera footages.
No, I'll get someone else to do that...
and let you know once they find anything.
I want you to find the driver first.
Go to his house.
Get going.
Wait for me.
You won't need to move...
if you find my daughter.
I can't trust cops, so I came to an inquiry agency.
Wait.
We're not exactly an inquiry agency.
Do you think I'm a guy who'd trust strangers...
with my daughter's life without even doing...
a background check?
I bought...
this building this morning.
You could've just given us cash.
If you find Ha Eun, you'll never have to pay rent...
for the rest of your lives.
Attorney Baek will fill you in with the details.
I'll be off now.
Even if Ha Eun is found dead,
the contract will still be valid...
as long as you catch the culprit.
We'll pay you as much as you ask for.
What about the other two kids?
They're not included in the deal.
Will you...
take the case?
Sure.
Gosh, excuse me.
These are some materials we got from the police.
Also,
let's say that you have been hired...
as our law firm's investigators.
You're preparing a lawsuit against the kindergarten.
If you do that, it would certainly help us out.
Okay.
Let me ask you something.
Why are you taking this job?
I don't want to move out.
And...
The child's father says that he doesn't believe...
in public force.
I don't either.
You won't be able to find anything.
Find anything?
No.
- Hey. - Yes?
Talk to me!
The punk knows how to use his brains.
Right.
The police wouldn't search the victim's parents' car.
And they have a driver to open the trunk.
Hey. How did you figure it out?
Evidence. I only thought about what I saw.
- What evidence? - He was too clean.
His call histories, his house, his alibis...
He used the father's car to deliver the ransom.
Our only blind spot was the delivery point.
We assumed he gave them the ransom.
But actually, he didn't have to.
You must have been very fond of Ha Eun.
Yes. I first started working at the house...
when Ha Eun was born.
She's like a daughter to me.
So you took her friends to keep her company?
I didn't do that.
Oh, there's an accomplice?
Someone else kidnapped the kid...
and you just took the money?
I didn't do it!
When I came to house, Ha Eun was already...
Something came up with her mom. What can I do?
I'll drop the kid off and head right over.
Hey. Hey!
Ha Eun.
Lee Ha Eun.
She was right here.
It was so strange.
I got the shivers. It was as though...
Ha Eun had evaporated.
(Searching for Witnesses. Help me find my Eun Yool!)
I can't believe...
there isn't a single security camera in sight.
Unbelievable...
Ridiculous...
Find anything?
I need to look around a bit more.
Wait.
What? What is it?
What is it? Tell me.
Can't you talk while you walk?
The mom said that she had looked away for a second.
She must've checked both exits to the playground.
Then the only way to leave the playground quickly...
without catching anyone's eye would be...
A grown man wouldn't be able to fit in here...
especially with a kid.
Maybe it wasn't a person.
When does Ha Eun usually arrive here?
She came after school, so maybe between 3pm and 5pm?
Are there any students who also attend her school?
Yes, there's Se Rin.
Where is she?
Over there.
- Is she the one in pink? - No, the one in blue.
Why are you crying?
I'm scared that Bo Ri will come to my house.
Who's Bo Ri?
Oh...
Why are you afraid of her?
Nobody believes me.
Do you not believe me either?
I don't believe in anything.
So I check everything with my own eyes.
(Affidavit)
(Credit Card History)
(Lee Chan Mi: Kindergarten Teacher)
(Bo Ri)
What's the holdup? Get over here.
That feels good.
Have a drink.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Very refreshing.
Yes, so let's begin.
When is the move-out date?
I don't know yet. Can we start with an estimate?
I see.
I hope they find the kids and the kidnapper soon.
You must be going through a lot.
It's too late. Everyone knows who I am...
I mean, there are so many rumors about me,
I can't work here anymore.
These parents go wild over a bruised knee.
Oh no...
All your employees must be leaving, too, then?
That's unfortunate...
Those kids are young! They can find work anywhere.
They don't need to look after their family.
Both of my kids are in college now.
What should I do? It's so devastating.
Stop that.
Sorry.
Can you stop doing that?
(August 2018 Events)
Excuse me. While you're here,
can you give me an estimate for the annex?
I need to get rid of that for me to wrap this up.
Okay, sure.
Goodness, isn't it a bit too hot in here?
There's no air conditioner in here. It's all shut.
I guess the laundry will get dried well.
May I open the window?
Goodness, this is way too hot.
What is this? There is a line here.
Is this it?
That's much better.
I'm sorry that there is no air conditioner.
It's all right.
Excuse me. Is anyone in here?
Let me check how much stuff you have.
She wanted an estimate for the annex.
Gosh, my armpits are getting wet.
Let's see.
The little zoo out in the back looked great.
You must have a dog too.
How did you know?
Oh, that's easy to tell.
I saw a doghouse out there,
and your clothes are covered with dog hair.
It went missing a few days ago.
Oh, dear.
Do you think they won't come back?
What?
No, the kids must come back.
Of course, they will.
I meant your dog.
But the pen must have been shut.
It was closed.
Bo Ri doesn't use doors.
There's a hole that she made in the ground.
She came back a few times before...
after she went missing.
Wait, is the dog a shepherd by any chance?
They can't have a shepherd in a kindergarten.
It'll scare kids.
Yes.
It was a dog that the director had.
But Bo Ri is a nice dog.
She's trained well,
and the kids loved her.
Right? It is a shepherd.
See? I knew it.
I had a feeling.
I asked you because one of my friends...
Hey, you know who Myung Sik is, right?
Come on, Myung Sik from the Chinese restaurant.
Oh, Myung Soo's brother, Myung Sik?
Yes, Myung Sik.
Myung Sik... I mean, my friend...
recently saw a shepherd on the streets.
If you tell me exactly when you lost her,
I'll ask him...
where he saw the dog.
He delivers food, so he knows all about the town.
Right?
It was a day before...
the kids went missing.
Gosh, that was like a sauna.
That was really hot.
Goodness, these are probably expensive.
She was right. There is a hole.
Is this important?
Don't you think something is weird?
She said the dog always went...
in and out through this hole.
And she was out of it because of the kids.
Why did she put away the feed and water?
She seems really suspicious.
Right?
She seems really similar to her.
She's very harsh, cold-hearted,
and selfish.
Similar to whom?
My aunt.
When I was a kid,
I thought my aunt could murder me.
I had the same thought when I saw the director.
You know that my sixth sense is excellent.
And she takes the advantage of...
that young teacher just because she lives here.
Ms. Lee's alibi is...
that she was working overtime.
Her room was fully air conditioned,
but that room didn't even have a fan.
Why are you going in there?
Then why did she abduct the kids?
If she was after money,
she could have just went with Ha Eun.
Why did she take three kids?
Do you think she wanted the kindergarten to fail?
Come out. You will step on dog's poop.
Why did you go in there?
Hey, come out.
One second.
The rabbit kept on trying to escape.
Okay, go.
The rabbit is really fluffy.
Angora rabbit.
We'll get going.
You should be careful.
Goodness. My gosh, you're too much.
He has long legs.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
Doesn't it speak?
You don't have to get another estimate.
We're the cheapest.
Do you have any yogurt?
I only sell to customers who buy in advance.
We need a woman.
It looks too dangerous...
for us to go around by ourselves.
Did you erase the part time job ad you uploaded?
A part-timer can't do anything.
We can slowly teach them.
Sang Seob.
What? Aren't you going to hop in?
You can go first.
I'll go after I check something.
What do you want to check?
You know, the crying girl from the violin academy.
What she saw might have been true.
It's so hot.
Hello.
- Hey, Yeo Wool. - Hello.
This is a new product.
What is this?
Of course, it's something really good for you.
It can cause a side effect for men.
A positive side effect that happens in the night.
You didn't have any.
I gave it to you. You should have some.
Forget it. I don't need anything like this.
It's made with organic cabbage. What a waste.
Make sure you have them.
Se Rin.
Where's your mom? Are you here alone?
Do you know her?
I deliver yogurt to her place.
And to her academy.
Se Rin.
Do you have something to say to the police officer?
Okay, then. Do it.
Now, look. Over there...
Let's go with him.
See? He doesn't look scary at all.
Right? Do it.
It's okay.
Eun Yool followed after Bo Ri.
Bo Ri?
Who's Bo Ri? Is she in the same class?
A dog?
It's a dog?
You must have a great imagination.
I saw her.
I mean it.
Se Rin.
I can't believe you really came here.
I'm sorry.
Did she talk about Bo Ri again?
She goes to the same kindergarten...
as the kids who went missing.
I guess the disappearance was a huge shock to her.
She must be traumatized.
Did you go see a therapist?
If you need someone...
She might be telling the truth.
You can give her words a chance.
Ms. Jung.
Why won't you even check?
Why don't you ask her more serious questions?
She said she saw her.
Get out. Don't get involved in this.
- Detective Park. - Get out.
I don't need this.
You don't have to come here...
anymore.
(Oh Se Rin)
Let's hang out together.
I want to play too.
Mom.
Eun Yool.
She's so cute.
Bo Ri.
(Episode 2)
(Under construction)
Will you be quiet?
You're being too loud!
You kids!
You kids are going to pop my eardrums!
Noisy children need to be punished.
They should be killed!
A dog took her, not a person.
That's the case for Eun Yool.
It's the same blouse she wore on that day.
She hid her in the sewage, then took her.
How can she do that?
She's very smart.
That means she can make...
an alibi for herself even after the abduction.
If she wasn't trying to leave an alibi,
why would she come...
to the classroom to sleep if she lives in the annex?
Why are you suspicious of Ms. Lee of all people?
Why not the director or other teachers?
Ms. Lee Chan Mi.
Her other clothes and stuff were very clean.
I didn't see any dog hair...
on her desk or bed, in her personal space.
I mean, she has to work with kids,
and the director is very sensitive,
so I'm sure she kept everything neat.
But I found dog hair only on Ms. Lee's clothes.
It looked like she got changed today.
It went missing a few days ago.
But she said the dog went missing a few days ago.
What's her motive?
She abducted three kids at once...
in a way that it can be turned into a huge story.
A grudge against the director or parents.
It's as if she wanted someone to notice.
Well, there is a slight possibility...
that this is just child abuse.
She was found innocent in the investigation,
and there is no evidence that she abused them...
or that she didn't get along with the director.
There's a security footage that we didn't go through.
The field trip.
(August 2018 Events)
Excuse me.
Okay, sure.
Ms. Lee led them herself...
the day before they went missing.
They went to a museum, so there were cameras.
And she was outside the kindergarten.
She may have tried to be careful in here,
but she may have let down her guard there.
You're right.
Did you order something?
This is as far as you can come.
It's a secret room starting right here.
- Who is she? - I'm Jung Yeo Wool,
who contacted you.
Oh, the part-timer.
She saw the ad for the job.
Oh, did you call after seeing the ad?
Yes.
Why did you post it with the number...
for our moving center?
Do you know what we do here?
Of course. Here's my resume.
Goodness, you're prepared.
You look much better in person.
This is Chief Lee Da Il.
You can do the interview with him.
Chief Lee, come on.
So...
Please don't say that word.
Not that word.
Don't.
It's an inquiry agency.
It's not.
My gosh.
Hey, I am certified for administrative affairs,
judicial affairs, and a black belt in taekwondo.
I have all these certifications...
This is a very professional...
inquiry agency.
I'm a detective.
Don't you know what a detective is?
There are no detectives in Korea.
A recent lawsuit concluded...
that you shouldn't use...
the term "detective" by the judiciary.
That's the status quo.
We're trying hard to change that.
Right.
About 30 percent of the households...
in this neighborhood drink vegetable juice I deliver.
I am the number one maid around here.
A pet sitter with the most regulars.
I know the structure of most houses...
and the health condition of most people.
When necessary, I can sneak in.
Also, I know all the shortcuts...
because I'm a chauffeur and I deliver food.
And I learned jiu jitsu since when I was young,
so I can react quickly to any dangers.
I've been working at a pharmacy...
for two years now,
so I can also bring any medicine you need...
without a prescription.
We don't do anything illegal.
Really?
If you have that many jobs,
why do you want to do this one?
The more jobs, the better.
I recently bought a house...
by taking out a huge loan.
Why?
I thought it would be better...
to be house poor than to be just poor.
Someone who lost her parents early,
has a young sibling,
and isn't educated enough...
should at least have a house...
to survive in Korea.
I will...
ask you one last question.
If you beat around the bush...
or lie to this question,
you will be dropped.
You saw me at the ballet academy, right?
And in front of the kindergarten.
I never posted a job ad.
Why are you really here?
Just do what I told you, and don't go overboard.
Okay.
Like I always tell you, you're still a trainee.
If you overreact and ruin this...
- Hey. - Wait. You'll rip...
Hey, I'm going to sue you!
I'm the one who should sue you for assault!
You hit my nephew...
right here on August 20.
Gosh, what are you talking about?
Do you have evidence?
Excuse me. Can you show me the CCTV footage...
from August 20 starting from 11am to 12pm?
My nephew was here on a field trip,
and he got beaten up by this bus driver.
You need to make a report to the police to see that.
But the police won't let me report him...
unless I bring them evidence.
- I'm sorry. - My gosh.
Are you putting on a show?
Gosh, you little...
What do you think you're doing?
Please call the police.
I'm the victim here.
Cut the nonsense. My nephew's the victim.
If the cops come, we'll have to write a report.
- Let's check the footage. - Just show it to her.
Okay, you guys.
Please follow me.
Okay.
Fine, let's go and check.
I can see everything.
There it is.
Can you enlarge that screen?
No, the one where the kids are lined up.
(Surveillance system for electric discharge)
Can you enlarge the screen a bit more?
Sure.
"Why are you so loud? It's annoying."
What?
That's what she just said.
Did you find a place? When are you going to leave?
Not yet.
I don't have enough money for the deposit.
So I was wondering...
when I'll be getting my paycheck and pension.
Do you want a pension,
or do you want to receive unemployment benefits?
But you only pay me the pension.
The unemployment benefit is paid by the government.
You decided to quit on your own free will,
but I have to lie that I fired you.
I didn't decide to quit on my own free will.
My gosh.
You really have no conscience at all.
Things turned out this way...
because you didn't take good care of the kids.
But you still want to take everything you can?
How brazen of you.
You're extremely thick-faced.
My gosh.
Even the investigation isn't being held properly.
Nobody's getting anything done right.
Can't you hear a kid crying?
Why did you bring them?
You should...
take responsibility.
If you can't make them be quiet,
why don't you just kill them instead?
What are you doing?
Gosh, you're so weird.
I'm going to go to Daejeon,
and I'll return tomorrow afternoon.
Clean this place up before I get here.
What are you doing? Move.
Shouldn't we report this to the police?
We can't prove that Lee Chan Mi is guilty.
And aside from Eun Yool, we don't know...
how the other kids vanished.
You should go home now.
Aren't you going to the kindergarten?
I'll go with you.
There are four reasons why you should go home.
One, we don't know where the kids are.
Two, there might be an accomplice.
Three, we don't want to put the kids in danger...
by provoking her in the wrong way.
Four, you're still a trainee.
But still...
Keep that in mind.
(Danger)
It's okay.
Are you Bo Ri?
Eat up.
I...
I had no intentions on killing them.
Don't lie. You thought about killing them...
every night.
You're the one that brought the kids.
Take them back.
It's so loud.
I can't stand this noise.
My head hurts so much.
Can you stand up?
Let's go.
Hurry. Can you walk?
Ga Ram, go.
Wait.
Do you both know how to go home from here?
Okay, you're going to play a game with me.
Go out and start running as fast as you can.
As soon as you meet an adult,
borrow their phone and call your mom and dad.
You're not coming with us?
I'll join the game last...
with Eun Yool.
Whoever gets home first,
tell your parents that Eun Yool is at school,
and that they have to call the police. Okay?
Go, now. Hurry!
Eun Yool, Eun Yool.
Eun Yool, are you okay?
Wake up. Eun Yool!
Eun Yool...
Eun Yool, wake up.
Wake up, Eun Yool.
Get up.
(The Ghost Detective)
Is Mr. Lee Da Il in there?
A man in his 30s.
He's really tall...
Hey, are you in love with Lee Da Il or what?
The perpetuator committed suicide in there.
Even stranger,
there's a human bite mark on the dog's body.
That means there's a possibility that...
someone else was at the crime scene.
Who is this?
You saw this woman that day?
The woman you talked about. Who is she?
That woman was involved in that case too, right?
Da Il...
