(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Si Woo.
Si Woo, Yeon Su!
Si Woo...
Si Woo.
Goodness, that scared me!
Excuse me. Are you okay?
Hello? Is this 911?
There's someone passed out here.
Excuse me.
One moment.
(Family vacation, October 15, 2018)
No, I didn't hit him.
(Episode 1, Hunters)
I heard you are a Polaroid camera enthusiast.
Is there a particular reason why?
This camera has a unique...
color, texture, and warmth to it.
I liked that about it.
Please let me have it for a moment.
After you stopped being an anchor, you've become more free-spirited.
You even do these unexpected acts.
You think so? I'm spending time with family,
so now I'm realizing what is really important.
I feel more at ease now.
You said you realized that family is important.
What kind of father are you to your son, Si Woo?
I'm very lacking as a father.
I calculated the time I've spent with him,
and the time I will spend with him.
If you think of it in days, it's less than two months.
Some things never change.
You're still obsessively meticulous.
Are you using your thorough work habits...
when it comes to loving your family?
When you put it that way, I sound like a strange person.
- It was a compliment. - Really? Thank you.
Should we move onto a different topic?
We have heard rumors...
that you're being courted to enter politics.
There are rumors you've been nominated for the next elections.
Are they true?
Not at all.
- You have no interest in politics? - None whatsoever.
When people in this country think of the 9:00pm news anchor,
they still think of you, Kang Woo Hyun.
Do you have any plans to return to the news?
I do want to return to it someday.
I don't know what the caption below me will say on TV.
I do hope it says, "Anchor Kang Woo Hyun".
You're a person who won't go into politics to spend time with family.
You were busier than most politicians even as an anchor...
if I recall correctly.
I think I would know better than anyone.
Okay, cut. Let's take a break.
Okay.
- Was I all right? - It was pretty good.
Your fans will like it.
But is it okay to be so decisive about not going into politics?
It's taking longer than I thought. I'm getting hungry.
What's for dinner tonight?
What do you want to eat?
I want curried rice.
Okay, curry.
Si Woo, do you want to go to the water park tomorrow?
- You like the curried rice there. - Really?
I can't go to the pool. It's that time of the month.
Okay, then let's go to the mountain.
Then I don't have to go to school tomorrow?
School?
Your mom will...
Excuse me, Mr. Kang.
You have dinner plans with CEO Hong tomorrow.
Do I?
Can you change that to another time?
It's regarding the investment.
I think it would be best to meet him.
But I can't tomorrow.
I'm better off hearing insults from CEO Hong...
than from this lady over here.
It's actually our wedding anniversary tomorrow.
Be careful.
He has an acute head injury, fractured ribs,
burn wounds on his face.
His left thigh has a penetration wound.
He could also have respiratory burns.
Did he fight in a war? What happened to him?
I think he got bit by a snake.
- A snake? - Looks like the poison has spread.
Get the antidote ready first.
Why isn't the tube going in?
Get more blood!
I think it's the poison.
- Ready the defibrillator. - Yes, sir.
- Charge to 100. - Charged.
Clear.
- Charge to 200. - Charged.
Clear.
(No smoking)
Sir.
How many times have I told you? Detectives don't salute each other.
How long will you act like an officer?
Sorry, it has become a habit.
There's no point with you.
I heard on my way here.
Do you know about the mountain case?
Did you run into a wild animal or something?
Did you have to call me so early in the morning for this?
The thing is...
I don't think it's a simple case of mountain distress.
Something feels off about it.
Just get to the point.
So here it is.
Here, here...
Gosh!
- What is this? - It's...
The victim was in the ambulance and...
he used all his strength to say this.
"We were hunted down."
Sir, isn't this Kang Woo Hyun and Shin Yeon Su?
He's the victim?
Yes.
I'm spending time with family,
so now I'm realizing what is really important.
I'm more at ease now.
You said you realized the importance of family.
Do they think they are different from us?
I'm very lacking as a father.
I...
The food is so good here.
I can't eat this without having a drink.
Hey, there are no customers here.
Let's have a soju.
If we spend time together, that's 100 hours in a year.
Times 11 is 1,100 hours.
Darn it.
If you think of it in days,
it's less than two months.
Some things never change.
You're still obsessively meticulous.
Are you using your thorough work habits...
Is it self-serve alcohol here? Why aren't you replying to me?
When you put it that way...
Are you crazy?
It was a compliment.
I have to do these crazy things...
in order for you to look at me once in a while.
I felt good because you called me first.
What could I do?
I don't know who she takes after.
She is as stubborn as a mule.
Can we please just have some quality time together for once?
Listen to me carefully.
No matter how hard you try,
we will never get back together.
You shouldn't say "never" when it comes to life.
Also, a lot of time has passed.
Don't you know how I feel?
When I look at your face...
Min Joo's here.
- Dad. - Yeah.
Dad.
Why is my princess up so early?
I woke up when I heard your voice.
Is that so?
Let's see.
It's only been three months since I saw you.
You grew this much?
Don't overdo it. You have a bad back.
You two are always thinking of me so much.
I'm not in pain at all anymore. Look at this.
Hey.
Since you're awake, go and wash up.
If we leave early, we won't get stuck in traffic.
Okay. I just need to wash my face.
I slept with my clothes on.
You are my daughter, after all.
Go and wash up now.
You're the best, my daughter.
(Yong Dal Freight)
You're here early.
Some of the shops were closed, so I'm ahead of schedule.
Let's get going.
For such a young man,
you sure work hard and have a good memory.
- Thank you. - It's very cold out.
Why are you dressed like this?
What in the world?
She sure knows how to act cute.
- Look at her. - Come drink something warm.
Stop looking at them. Your back is all better now.
But now you'll get a headache.
I'll have that beverage next time.
Let's get going. Come on.
My gosh.
That guy who delivers produce...
looks so annoying like some player.
Is it because he's always eating organic produce?
She's a woman from Busan running a restaurant in Gangwon Province.
Why is she suddenly speaking in Seoul dialect?
Does it bother you that much?
No, it's not that.
Don't worry. Mom said it'd be just the two of us forever.
Two of you?
Min Joo, when she says that,
"Mom, I want to live with Dad too."
You should've said that. You idiot.
It's not like I can't see you because we don't live together.
It's better if we see each other every day.
Mom says...
it's hard for her to see you.
Did you hear that?
Do you know what that means?
Dad, let's just have fun together today.
There are so many places I want to go today.
Okay, fine. I'll make sure to be your guide today.
You know I'm from Seoul, right?
It's so great that it blows my mind. Let it go.
- Don't you agree? - I agree.
- I approve that. - Same here.
(Senior Policeman Jang Man Ho)
Seriously.
(Senior Policeman Jang Man Ho)
It looks delicious.
Choose everything you want, my daughter.
Take everything. Eat everything.
My dear daughter.
Yes, Mr. Jang. I was about to call you.
Your timing is so great that it blows my mind.
What nonsense is that? Where are you right now?
Are you at a billiards club or an Internet cafe?
Why would I be at a billiards club?
I'm getting work done.
Well...
Do you remember that razor wielder who was caught thrice at a casino?
I heard that he's in Seoul now,
so I'm going out to check.
Let's hang up since I'm so busy.
Don't spew nonsense only idiots believe.
That guy was caught yesterday.
I won't say much. I'll give you 10 minutes. Get here now.
Okay, I'll be honest with you.
Well, today...
I have an important appointment with my daughter.
You know that I have to do a lot to win over my family.
I know what you mean, and I understand you.
- But the situation is fishy here. - Man Ho.
Seriously. I'm quitting next month.
Why would you call me for a fishy case?
Don't you know that we should get paid vacations at times like this?
I'm calling you because there's nobody fit for the job.
What am I supposed to do with these rookies?
Detective Bae. You have Detective Bae.
He'll have to take care of cases when I'm gone anyway.
This looks like a good chance for him.
Man Ho, you should trust Detective Bae...
and give him a chance. He's no joke.
He's diligent, and he has a good sense.
I've been watching him,
but he has an unexpectedly sharp side of him.
I don't know what this case is about,
but I can't turn around my car now anyway.
I'll win over some cookie points from my daughter today...
and get things done right tomorrow.
Here she comes.
Detective Bae. You're listening, right?
Call me if you have any questions.
I'll make sure to point you in the right direction.
Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Jang.
There are so many people who want me.
We should eat these now to enjoy them the most.
Cheers.
Hey, Detective Ko...
My goodness.
This is inconvenient.
Mr. Jang, then where...
Where... Where should I start?
How would I know?
You should figure it out since you've got a sharp sense.
Mr. Jang! Mr. Jang.
They say that Kang Woo Hyun has woken up.
You could've just called me to say that. Why did you run here?
But you were on your phone for so long.
This jerk has a phone too.
You're right.
Seriously.
Good going, you idiots.
I'm sorry.
Isn't he Anchor Kang Woo Hyun?
I think he is. He's bleeding a lot.
- He must've been seriously hurt. - How did that happen?
- Excuse me? - I know, right?
What is it?
- The patient is refusing treatment. - What?
He wants to testify even in that condition.
But you said he can't even talk.
Well, I think he wants to type it.
Should I bring a laptop?
I'm not sure if this is okay.
Would you really be okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Let's discuss about CEO Hong's shares again...
when I get to work on Wednesday.
- Okay, I'll keep that in mind. - Okay.
- You should take a rest too today. - Okay, Mr. Kang.
Goodbye.
- You're being very formal. - What?
You're using honorifics when you're speaking to Ms. Kim.
It's not easy to do that when you have 10 more years of experience.
It's because Ms. Kim plays a big role in the company.
It's nice to see for others,
and it shows my support for Ms. Kim too.
It's nice to keep personal matters separate from business, but...
But what?
- It's just nice. - What was that?
What about your contract? Are you extending it?
Wouldn't that be better even for you?
Me?
Why is better for me?
Your company funds are coming from CEO Hong's side.
You shouldn't be bothered by me.
Gosh, I'm okay. Just do what you want.
Why are you suddenly pretending to care about my opinion?
Yeon Su, let's take a photo here.
- A photo? - Yes. Get off quickly.
Okay, let's take a photo.
Okay. Shall we do this here?
Come on, Si Woo. I'll pick you up.
- Look here. I'll take the photo. - Let's smile.
Okay. 1, 2, 3.
(Family vacation, October 15, 2018)
(He was wearing a hunting outfit, so he seemed suspicious to me.)
My goodness, are we supposed to believe this?
Hey, can't you hear me?
I'm sorry.
- I didn't hear you. - Should we believe this or not?
- You have a sharp sense. - Well...
Based on the fact that the testimony is very detailed,
I think it's highly possible to be true.
Chief, this is Senior Policeman Jang.
Please call the chief of Gangwon Province.
We need a full-scale searching party.
We need the Forest Service Mountain Searching Team,
three companies of auxiliary police,
and some help from nearby military bases.
Yes, right now.
I just feel like we need that.
This is inconvenient.
I thought things were going too well.
Gosh, it's getting heavier.
Would there be anywhere to stay out of the rain?
I'm not sure.
My goodness. If this is Mumyeong Mountain,
it's where we went for our first date.
Wasn't there a cafe near here?
I can't believe this. Were you planning to do this?
Well, it's our 10th wedding anniversary.
I just came here because I remembered our old times.
Why are you suddenly acting odd? This is awkward.
But how could that day and today be so alike?
It's raining, and we're lost.
I don't think this is the place.
Oh my.
Welcome.
- Hello. - Yes, welcome.
- Sit down where you'd like. - Thank you.
Oh my.
It sure is raining a lot.
Yes, it is. It keeps stopping and starting up again.
Would you like to eat something?
No, I think we'd just like to have some tea.
Do you serve food too?
Of course.
Let me see. If you just want tea,
why not some sort of mountain root tea since you're in the mountains?
We have snake alcohol too.
Snake alcohol?
Do you want to eat?
Aren't you hungry?
Let's just go once the rain stops.
We'll just take two coffees.
Sure, coming right up.
The owner must've changed.
I really hate the atmosphere here.
You're being too sensitive.
What is that?
Oh, this is a snake's skin.
It's like the snake's clothes.
Then has the snake taken off its clothes?
Where is the snake now?
The snake? It was here, but it ran away.
It was a really big snake.
How big?
How big was it?
It could probably swallow you whole.
You're lying.
It's true. If you ever...
happen to come across a big snake,
you need TO look straight ahead and run.
- You can do that, right? - Why?
If you make eye contact with a snake,
that means it is challenging you to a fight.
Si Woo.
Mom, I'm hungry. I want some curry.
Oh, we can make curry.
It's not on the menu, but you should try it.
They have curry.
Are you hungry?
They're gone.
What's the matter? They seemed like local people.
You don't know that feeling because you're a man.
They were staring without trying to hide it.
They must've recognized you.
I didn't even put on makeup.
I told you that you look better without makeup.
What a joke.
Even though the owner changed, this place brings back memories.
Oh yeah. Let's see that picture you took earlier.
Let's see if I really do look better without makeup.
I'll show you.
Let's see.
(Family vacation, October 15, 2018)
Here. Take a look.
There is a mysterious feel to it like you said.
- My expression looks lively. - Right?
Would you two like more coffee?
Yes. Thank you.
You're Anchor Kang Woo Hyun, right?
Yes.
I was right. You must not do the news these days.
Yes, I'm taking a break from that.
I'm doing some other work.
I see. Could you sign this for me?
Where did Si Woo go?
He was just by the door.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Si Woo!
Yeon Su!
Si Woo!
Si Woo, Si Woo!
Si Woo!
Yeon Su, Yeon Su!
I told you to put on comfortable shoes.
Where did you get this?
It was by the door.
Get in the car for now.
I'll look for him.
What if something happened?
What could've happened? He probably wandered off.
Give me the umbrella.
It's all messed up.
It's okay. Stay in there.
- Si Woo! - Sir!
You need to pay before you go.
Si Woo!
Si Woo, you'll be in trouble if you're playing around.
Si Woo!
Si Woo.
Si Woo!
What was that sound just now? Wasn't that gun?
Wasn't that thunder?
How can you not tell the difference between a gun and thunder?
- Boom. - Wait.
Is there another path besides this?
There are paths in all directions.
Darn it.
Si Woo. Si Woo.
- Si Woo! - Si Woo!
Honey, Si Woo...
Honey?
Yeon Su.
Yeon Su. Yeon Su!
Woo Hyun!
I told you to stay in the car.
What about Si Woo? You haven't found him?
Give me your cell phone.
There's no service here. Yours too?
Gosh, I'm going crazy here.
Let's go to the cafe.
They don't have a phone there.
That's ridiculous. How can they not have a phone?
This is very deep in the mountains, so that's why.
When we were marketing the place,
it was marketed as a location where your phone has no service.
People these days are always on their phones.
How long will it take to get to a place where our phone will work?
It will take about ten minutes by car.
- Let's go. - How can we leave?
How can we go when Si Woo's here?
How can we leave Si Woo behind?
Now, I know you!
You're an anchor too, right?
My gosh.
What you are looking a now are tools used to hunt...
approximately 2,900,000 years ago.
Humanity used fire as a tool.
As their frames changed and brains developed,
they became hunters and gather food to survive.
Unlike other animals, humans evolved further...
and gained the ability of new creating tools.
Using these tools...
Min Joo's dad?
You're Min Joo's father, right?
Yes, I am.
I'm Joon Ho's mom.
How could you be this way?
- Pardon? - About Min Joo last week.
She did this to my son's face, but you didn't even come to school.
At the very least, you should've called.
You didn't know about it? Min Joo's mom is really something.
So she didn't even tell you?
No, how could I not know?
If her mother can't leave the store,
then you should come and apologize.
It's all because I'm lacking as a father.
Please don't be angry.
My dad didn't do anything wrong.
He didn't know because he doesn't live with my mom.
I got hit first.
Yes, we did get in a fight.
In other words, Joon Ho lied to you,
and I couldn't tell that to my dad.
Come on, Min Joo. Why are you acting like this?
Seriously.
Please forgive us. I'll make sure that I scold her...
so she won't do this again.
Well, I'm sorry.
Forget it. Suit yourselves. My goodness.
Min Joo. It's okay.
It's okay even if you beat him up some more. Min Joo.
Gosh, that jerk, Detective Bae.
Hello? What is it?
Detective Ko, I sent you a file.
Okay, hurry up. What file are you talking about?
It's the testimony of the victim.
I wanted you to look at it.
Okay. But I'm busy at the moment.
I'll read it as soon as I can.
- Okay? - Can't you read it now?
Now is not a good time.
I think...
a kid's life is at stake here.
Let's get down the mountain and file a report.
Can't I just stay here?
Si Woo might come back.
I don't want to leave you here alone.
Si Woo will be okay, right?
He'll be okay. I hope he's okay.
What is it?
Those men.
- What? - The men with hunting rifles.
- Something's odd. - You said they must be locals here.
I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make you worry,
but I clearly heard a gunshot earlier.
Si Woo was outside when those men left earlier.
- Stay here for a moment. - Why?
I'll go back to the cafe and ask where those men went.
I'll go with you.
No. You should try calling from here.
We might get a signal.
But I'm scared.
Keep the engine on, and lock the doors.
The cafe can be seen there. Nothing will happen.
- I'll be back soon. - Honey.
You have to come back soon.
Excuse me, sir!
Excuse me. Please come out, sir.
Excuse me.
Well, I thought this might help.
Sir, do you know where those men earlier went?
- Those hunters. - What?
The men who were eating here earlier.
What do you mean?
The hunters earlier. They left on a truck.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
You were the only guests I had today.
What are you talking about?
There were men who were eating here.
That's what I'm talking about.
You were the only customers I had for three days.
Who are you talking about?
Look here. Look at this dust here.
Seriously.
My goodness.
Come on. I told you, nobody is here.
Nobody is here.
Where are you going?
Where do you think you're going?
Hey, stop right there.
Hey. Mister!
Seriously.
Stop right there.
This place is dangerous. You shouldn't go in there.
Stop it. Stop!
I locked this place because it's haunted.
A customer hung himself here.
I'm getting the chills after hearing you talk about those men.
Gosh, I should've installed an emergency line. Seriously.
(Testimony for what happened until 1:52pm, October 16, 2018)
Dad, your ice cream is melting.
Dad, aren't we leaving?
Until when should I wait?
I told you earlier.
We'll be leaving when you apologize...
to Joon Ho and his mother.
But I did nothing wrong.
I'll get scolded by your mom again if we just leave,
so you should go there and apologize.
Hurry up.
(Detective Bae)
- Yes, Detective Bae? - Did you...
Did you read the testimony?
Yes, I almost finished reading it.
So what is everybody doing now?
Mr. Jang and Sung Bum went to the crime scene.
- Yes? - And...
And a searching party is getting assembled.
That slow man did that already? My goodness.
- Then what about you? - I'm...
I'm at the hospital.
Mr. Jang said I won't be much help.
Hey, listen to me. In serious crimes like this,
the people near the victim are always important.
Critical clues always show up near the victim.
But Detective Ko...
Yes?
What do you think about the testimony?
Well, I've seen my share of odd things on this job.
But how could this happen? Don't you think so too?
Is that so?
Of course. And did you check for any records of mental illness?
It could be something like delusion.
You said that the victim hurt his head.
That is true,
but the testimony was too coherent...
to say that he has delusion.
He's someone easily noticeable.
- What? - So I think we should believe him.
"Someone easily noticeable"?
Then are you saying that the victim, Kang Woo Hyun, in that file...
is the anchor, Kang Woo Hyun?
Yes, you're right.
Yeon Su. Honey.
Yeon Su.
Don't shoot! There's a person here!
What is it now?
Gosh, I shouldn't have gotten that autograph. This is too much.
Didn't you go to file a report?
Where is he?
Hold on. Why are you doing this to me?
Hold on. Wait. I think there's a misunderstanding here.
Why are you doing this to me?
We can just talk this out!
Why are you doing this to me?
- Sir, let's be honest. - Okay. Let's do that.
Why are you doing this to me?
Who were those men,
and what do you want? Is it money?
Nobody came here.
How would I know who they were?
They would've gone hunting if they were hunters.
How would I know?
You brought these hideous things here.
How could you not know those hunters?
What? "Hideous?"
What's wrong with my taxidermy? Tell me!
What's wrong with my taxidermy? Why are they hideous?
What does my taxidermy have to do with your lost kid, you jerk?
Does being an anchorman give you the right to say anything they want?
You're a total lunatic!
What now? What will you do?
What? All right.
Will you hit me with that? Fine. Hit me, you scumbag.
Where is Si Woo?
Where is Yeon Su?
How would I know?
You're a psycho! How could you do that?
- Where are they? - I don't know.
- Where are they? - I don't know!
Min Joo, listen to Joon Ho's mom, okay?
On your way, you should also reconcile with him.
I'm really sorry.
During your break, let's hang out for an entire week, okay?
I told you. I'm like Superman.
People who are in danger are desperately waiting for me,
so I need to fly over there.
I love you.
- Joon Ho. - Yes?
On your way, please reconcile with her, okay?
You're so cute.
- Thank you, ma'am. - No problem.
Bye.
I'd been waiting for him for a long time.
Are you awake now?
Could you untie me?
- What's wrong with you? - Sir.
Please call the cops for me.
I was going to anyway, so sit tight for a bit.
Even if I wanted to untie you, I'm afraid you'll attack again.
To be clear, you're the one who tied me up first, okay?
Sir, where are my wife and son?
What?
What are you talking about?
Previously, you were looking for some hunters.
Now, it's your wife and son?
What now? Will you ask me about your parents as well?
Hey.
Are you from the hospital?
Did you not take your pills?
Are you not Anchor Kang Woo Hyun?
Look.
Why are you doing this to me?
- Gosh, I'm going crazy. - Tell me.
I can't get through to him.
Sir.
I think there's something wrong with your head.
Would a smack on the head do?
Would it?
Forget it. I don't want to be like you.
You have a phone.
Hello? Is this the police?
I'd like to report something.
There's a strange man here, and I think he's insane.
Yes, he's a complete psycho.
He's gone mad.
In order to subdue him, I had to tie him.
- Sir. - Yes, we did get physical.
- No, no. - Please hand me the phone.
He's the one who hit me first.
Well... No.
This lunatic hit me in the leg, and it's about to break!
Could you please hand me the phone?
- Please? - No, no.
He keeps asking me about his family.
If he's at a cafe, he should ask for a cup of tea,
not for his family.
He came here by himself, but he claims they're here.
If I were to have it my way,
I'd love to kill him.
I can't do that, right?
Got it. I'll be waiting for you.
Please hurry!
Sorry?
You want to speak to him?
Don't bother. You'll only listen to him talk nonsense.
Do you hear me?
My family is missing!
Could you please hurry?
Do you hear that nonsense?
Hold on. I'll put him on the phone.
Thank you.
Don't make up anything. Just state the facts.
Okay, I will.
Hello?
The number you have dialed was incorrect.
Please check and call again.
The number you have dialed...
Go on. Talk. Go on.
I said, talk.
Hello?
Is this the wrong number?
Why is it? Tell me.
Hello? Hello? I'm trying to report something!
How can I report anything if this number is incorrect?
You scumbag! Darn it!
Cops these days don't do their jobs well.
They're such a mess!
Where am I supposed to report?
Aren't you dying to find out what will happen next?
We've embargoed the reporters...
and kept the hospital's mouth shut.
Don't worry. We'll do our best. Salute.
Make sure you record the timeline precisely...
- and write down which teams came. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Jang.
Darn this rain.
The helicopter is on standby, and we've alerted the army.
But judging by the situation,
we won't make much progress. We don't have the exact location.
All that we know is that...
there's a female in her 30s and a 9-year-old boy.
What will we do with this?
The victim is in a critical condition,
so we don't know when he'll speak again.
We have to do everything that we can.
Darn it. Why don't you look for Waldo instead?
What is he doing?
Listen up. Of course, it's important for us to find them.
But what's more important is...
that we tried our best during the golden time, got it?
Golden what? Are you trying to become a congressman?
Get ready!
Hi, it's me. I heard you're working very hard.
Did you call to tease me?
Of course, not.
Listen carefully. I won't repeat myself.
It's still raining a lot, right?
Searching the area will be difficult and slow.
- Also, landslide could happen. - So?
Call the Ginseng Diggers Committee. Get their radio frequency channel.
Ginseng diggers climb mountains even when it's raining.
They're also the most likely ones to have witnessed something...
yesterday and today.
They're also quite aware of hunters while they work.
You should be alert.
On the basis that the kid is still alive,
the given golden time is 72 hours.
But considering the weather and the kid's age,
- we only have half that time. - Where are you?
- I'm hanging up. - Hey...
(The only thing I can do in that situation is...)
Sir.
Shall we take a break if you're tired?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Well...
He's still writing his statement,
but he seems to be stuck.
I think he's suffering...
from partial memory loss due to shock.
Stuff like that happens often in movies.
I guess he has time for memory loss...
when he has no idea whether or not his wife and son are alive.
That's not it.
He's truly doing his utmost best.
Whatever. Doesn't the victim have a cell phone?
Charge it.
A call will be made to that in five minutes.
Okay, bye.

(Security Room)
- Yes? - Hello?
Thank you.
Are you...
inside Mr. Kang Woo Hyun's house?
Come on. An embargo has been laid.
I can't explain the situation to the guard...
and ask if he could let me in.
It's a good thing I'm in Seoul.
Are you sure you can do that?
You can lecture me next time.
Gather information on that phone's call history,
text messages, and transactions.
Look into them and write down anything out of the ordinary.
Yes, sir.
(CEO Hong)
(Secretary Kim Si Hyeon)
Who is this?
(Secretary Kim Si Hyeon)
- Hello? - Hello? Sir?
Well...
- The thing is... - Who are you?
Who are you?
Where is he?
Are you okay?
Call the doctor.
- Okay. - Hold on.
Stand up.
Where's my family?
Mr. Kang, please calm down.
Where's my family?
Please calm down. We're...
We're searching for them.
So please put that down.
Where are they?
Mr. Kang, you're at a hospital.
You were in an accident.
That's why you're...
Mr. Kang.
It's all right. I'm here.
Don't worry about anything.
It's okay.
Calm down.
Sir.
If you tell me what you want,
I'll do as you say.
You're the smart type, aren't you?
Do you feel like you should be more obedient?
Listen to me.
We will play an interesting game.
But before that, let me ask you a question.
Look.
I can taxidermize anything.
It's the recreation of life! How beautiful is that?
This is the epitome...
of the most beautiful work of art by humans.
But it is looked down upon due to disgust and fear.
All right, here comes the question.
What does taxidermy require?
- Well... - Yes?
I thought you were educated, so how could you not get this?
What do I need to do to fill that empty wall?
- Hurry up. - Hold on.
There's a time limit.
- Tick-tock. - Hold on.
- Tick-tock. - Wait.
- Tick-tock. - Please wait.
It's hunting, you idiot!
"There is no hunting like the hunting of man."
"And those who have hunted them long enough and liked it..."
"never care for anything else thereafter."
Ernest Hemingway said that.
I've marked two places on this map.
Your wife and son are there.
It's like bait to lure in the prey.
You'll save them yourself.
What are you talking about?
If you infuriate me again,
I'll slit your son's throat.
Untie yourself. Did you think I wouldn't know?
Shall I help you?
No.
Proud scumbags come up with the slyest tricks.
I already knew.
So try harder and harder.
Try harder!
More!
You can cut the other side with that knife.
Let's begin.
- Begin what? - The game!
Go outside, and save one of them.
And we'll hunt for you.
"We?"
The hunters you saw earlier.
You psychos!
Whether it be your wife or son,
you'll succeed if you save one.
If not, you'll fail.
You could save at least one of them before you die,
or you could die before doing that.
It all depends on you.
You can go to the town and call the cops.
But you would have lost the game.
If that happens,
your wife and son's heads...
will become parts of this collection that I have.
I'll put them up right there.
Who's behind all this?
What?
Which scumbag is behind it?
I don't know.
Who could it be?
Do you still not know?
Do you not remember me?
Yes?
She's here.
Okay.
Excuse me. He wants to speak with you.
Speaking.
You're Mr. Kang's guardian?
- What's your relationship with him? - I'm his secretary.
And he doesn't have any family members in Korea.
Yes, we are aware of that.
With the right he's given me as his guardian, let me say this.
Until his doctor can tell us...
that Mr. Kang is mentally stable,
we will refuse to cooperate with the investigation.
What? Don't you know what's going on?
And Mr. Kang wanted to write up a statement first.
Sure. It's been over 12 hours...
since the start of the investigation.
Other than neglecting the victim,
allowing him to self-harm, and exacerbating his condition,
what progress have you made?
Will you let the victim die too?
Hey, punk! Did I ask too much of you?
Until the embargo was lifted, I told you to keep the workers...
at the hospital quiet and to monitor the patient.
How could a cop have difficulty handling a guardian?
A 20-year-old auxiliary policeman will do a better job than you.
I'm sorry.
I can't believe an idiot like you is my junior.
I'm so frustrated.
You better not make another mistake again.
You should keep yourself together if you're a person.
How will you survive in this world with a mindset like that?
(Convenience Store)
(Please throw away your trash in the trash can.)
She didn't eat anything either.
She just went into her room and refuses to come out.
What did you do to make her like that?
I'm sorry, Honey. I suddenly had to do some work.
Forget it.
She says she won't see you anymore. I think it's better this way.
Hello?
Hey!
Those crazy jerks.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
The patient...
I didn't watch over him well enough.
I wanted to apologize for that.
But I have one thing...
I want to ask.
Detective, is it related to the investigation?
No. Well...
It's not like that.
Then excuse me. I'm a bit busy.
We made a bet. Your wife is at point A.
And your son is at point B. It's your choice.
Go on. The game has begun.
Come on. Get up. Get up! Hurry!
Go.
Go! Quickly!
Hey, are you just leaving like that?
You should take the map.
Take the knife too.
You should have a knife to make things interesting, right?
That's right. Go now.
Go quickly!
He just left.
Weak prey that can never become hunters...
should concentrate on running away and hope to save their lives.
Si Woo. Dad will be there soon.
You shouldn't be curious about who the hunter is while running.
Everyone dies the moment you get curious.
What is it, Detective Bae?
I'm sorry for constantly calling you when you're busy.
No, I'm not busy.
I don't think I'll ever be busy again now.
I called you because I had something to ask.
What is it?
Well, Dong Guk...
When you said I had a sharp sense,
did you really mean it?
Why would you suddenly ask that?
It's because I'm not sure myself either.
I'm not sure...
if I can keep up with this detective work.
My goodness. You must've been scolded by Mr. Jang again.
He might have a nasty temper, but he doesn't have bad intentions.
So you shouldn't bother too much about that.
But more importantly,
I think...
I saw something...
- really odd. - What do you mean?
I did see something,
but I'm worried that I might be causing trouble again.
Let's hang up first. We'll discuss this in person.
But how?
Surprise. I arrived at the hospital.
I wanted to see you.
But let me ask you something.
What would you get out of me by following me everywhere...
and asking about everything when I'll retire soon?
Well, did I...
Did I do that?
Among the few detectives in our precinct,
you're the only one who follows me around.
Well...
Well, that's...
You...
You're the only person...
who calls me Detective Bae.
Hey, Detective Bae.
I really meant that when I said...
that you have a sharp sense.
My body has grown so old...
that I'm about to retire soon,
but I have an eye for seeing people.
And detectives don't really require much.
You just have to hang in there.
If you hang in there, you get your paycheck and catch criminals.
And if you're lucky, you get promoted.
No matter how hard things get, you just hang in there with a smile.
And your smiling face is better than you think.
Detective Bae. Hey.
My goodness.
What should we do?
My gosh.
Oh, no.
(Detective Ko Dong Guk)
- What should we do? - A man just fell down.
What should we do? What is this?
Detective Bae.
Detective Bae. Hey!
Quickly. Is there a doctor here?
Get us a doctor! Detective Bae!
Detective Bae.
(Will you let the victim die too?)
Detective Bae!
(Trap)
Detective Bae certainly said that he saw something odd.
At that moment, a power outage occurred on the 7th and 8th floor.
- Don't you think it's odd? - Aren't you thinking...
that Detective Bae's case is related to Kang Woo Hyun's case?
Who is that woman?
Don't you know her? She's the mascot of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
I couldn't get in touch with Mr. Kang for almost two days,
so I thought something had happened and asked for help.
Detective Kang, when hunters have enough to eat,
why do they hunt?
- Dad. - Si Woo!
