Welcome to our show tonight!
We invite many people
with extra ordinary abilities
from all over the country.
I can't wait to see
the special powers they will...
show us tonight and that will
bring pleasant surprises
to our mundane life.
Let's welcome
our first contestant.
Here we have a good looking
young man locked up in a box.
Can you tell us
a little about yourself?
My name is Jung-ho Ryu
from Nonhyun-dong.
Well, that was simple.
What kind of powers
do you want to show us tonight?
I... I can find out
You can find out?
What can he find out?
Let's take a look
at his power.
Wow, that was incredible.
I am more than surprised.
I bet you earned yourself
a nickname for your power.
Do you have any?
Like the ones your friends
gave you...
A monster...
A monster.
Missing Girl
15 years later
Yes, I just arrived
at the airport.
Are you listening?
... more concerned.
Financial Supervisory Service
said that the enterprise
took out a loan twice.
But there are 11 records
that the enterprise asked for
the credit history...
What about Chang-bae?
Can you wrap up the
In-yeon Gang case any slower?
All you gotta do is
to bust his ass.
You and your damn laziness.
Fine, fine...
Wanted
I'm telling you
I'm always with him.
If I'm this desperate,
I shall meet him soon.
What the...
An unidentified,
jumped into the subway tracks
earlier today.
As a result,
a lot of people had
hard time getting to work.
Look how cold-blooded she is...
What a bitch!
What do you mean?
She looks pretty hot to me.
Talking about subway delays
when a man died?
This news program
is a trash!
You expect her to weep, then?
I'm not saying
she has to feel sad.
But she's not giving a damn
when a man died.
A public figure
shouldn't be like that.
Mind your own business.
Just go get
Chang-bae for me.
I have a pretty bad feeling
about him.
Fine, fine... I will soon.
Come on, get moving!
Can I help you?
Professor said he's going on
a business trip
and told me to give the keys
to his nephew.
He was very worried
and tried to contact you.
Just what I expected!
The photos have strong vibes
As well as the artist.
It surely is worth my effort
spent to hire you.
Thank you.
Thankfully, this month's issue
is right on track.
When are you leaving
the country?
In about a month.
Can you keep yourself
available strictly for us?
We could use your service
for the next month's issue.
What do you say?
I feel drowsy again.
Maybe it's
some sort of disease.
It sure is a disease.
From living without any girl...
and working for 5 years
in the homicide squad.
Up yours.
Like your new car?
What good am I
without talking trash?
Talking back is like
automatic now?
Cut back on junk food
and get a proper meal with me.
I'm fine, mom.
I'll catch you later.
Hey!
Whoa! Sorry about that.
Wanted- Robbery and Assault
Alright, now.
Son of a...
Come with us.
Huh? Oh, crap!
Who are you to interrupt
our business?
Look at his eyes.
Do you not hear him asking?
Huh?
You dumbass.
Are you
some kind of bad ass?
You can stop this now.
Shall we?
Want us to stop?
Well, well, well...
What are you
gentlemen doing here?
What's your business, sir?
Detective Kim,
What's the occasion?
I got a few.
'Hot! Sauna'
Here, take it.
'Hot Sauna? '
Go on, take it.
- Hey, you!
- My nose is bleeding.
That's my boy!
Started a new business?
Earned yourself some money?
A sauna? That's nice.
One at a time,
I'll use my fist.
OK.
Two at a time,
I'll pull the trigger.
My ass!
You should consider
yourself lucky.
Go on, let it go now.
There we go.
Are you okay?
It hurts... so much.
Not talking to you!
Catch me if you can!
Quite a nice brand...
Can you watch these guys?
Chang-bae!
Come here.
Come here, son of a bitch!
Why are you
wearing my coat?
Give it back.
Oh, this?
- Fits me perfectly.
- Looks big on you.
Never had anything
this expensive.
Hey, Chang-bae.
Come with me,
I'll be gentle.
- No thanks.
- You piece of shit.
See? Captain
knows right away.
Bitch...
Yes, captain.
Guess who I'm with right now.
- What?
- Got all the time in the world?
Detective Choi is on him,
so get here quickly!
Yes, sir.
I'll be right there.
Chang-bae.
What?
Maybe today's not the day.
Huh?
That's it?
A girl... about 9 years old.
No external wound,
drowned in
the laundry machine.
Was she kidnapped?
We're working on it.
No witness, no fingerprint.
I knew it.
So much for
good peaceful days...
Gotta get through an autopsy.
So let's go back for now.
Yes, sir.
Go ahead and wrap it up.
Yes, sir.
I'll pay a visit to
the bureau of investigation.
Chilly, huh?
Thank you.
Personal Profile
Soo-yeon Park
Child Custody Agreement
Her father died
from a car accident.
And her mother has been in hospital
for 2 years now.
So we applied for a foster care
and thankfully you guys...
I'm not who you are
looking for.
Come back
in about 2 weeks...
That would be a problem.
The orphanage where
she was staying at...
Recently shut down
and she has nowhere to go.
Please understand
the situation.
She is very smart
and very disciplined.
She won't make any troubles.
They will be back soon
So make yourself at home.
Thank you.
It's hard to estimate
the time, but...
She died roughly about
Unidentified,
No external wounds.
No evidence of sexual assault.
The time of kidnapping was
less than 24 hours ago.
The thing is, we found drug
from the blood test.
Drug?
Yes, seems to be a hypher...
Called magic mushroom,
it's a substitute for drugs.
Very popular in America.
We don't have that
magic shit in Korea.
Not in Korea,
but there's a similar kind.
That might be it...
What is this?
Is it smiling? Or crying?
That's one freaky face.
I don't know.
Might belong to the kid
Might be the kidnapper's.
Looks handmade but...
we're looking for the source.
- Hey, kid!
- Yes?
What kind of
report is that?
Captain.
It feels like
there's another coming.
Another one coming?
You want another one
to happen?
You wanna see me get fired?
Son of a bitch...
Go find out more about
the magic mushroom.
Yes, sir.
Oh crap!
The In-yeon Gang case!
Suspect's Statement
Alright, let's see.
What the hell is this?
Just as written.
Soon as we got moving
after planning our moves,
Mr. Anonymous suddenly
approached to us...
and told us
the money was for surgery
for the lady's son.
Feeling perplexed,
we headed to the restroom
to have a talk.
Then Mr. Anonymous suddenly
turned aggressive and...
Who are you
trying to fool here?
Is Mr. Anonymous
the lady's son?
Does he know you guys?
Then did he hear
you guys whispering?
Is he the
Six Million Dollar Man?
It doesn't make any sense!
I know, isn't it weird?
Who are you
trying to fool?
The Six Million Dollar Man.
I know.
This is Min-hee,
she is a transfer student.
Let's make her
feel welcomed here.
Anybody sitting
next to Jung-ho?
Go on, take a seat.
Now, today we are
going to learn...
I'm Jung-ho,
Jung-ho Ryu.
That's a snack.
You should get a proper meal.
Hello.
This is the chief editor
of National Geographic.
We're done with the plan now.
- I'll e-mail you the details.
- You got a phone call?
See you at the gallery tomorrow.
We can talk about next month's issue.
Check your e-mail.
Autopsy in progress
It looks just like the
last one.
The age, gender,
even the drugs are similar.
Time of death?
It's a drowned body
so it's hard to find out.
But it seems to be
before the last one.
Before?
You're saying...
there could be more?
Detective Choi.
No right order,
no witness...
So complicated.
Detective Choi,
where was it found?
In Hooam-dong,
she was in a water tank.
So it is similar to
the last case.
Right?
Both of them were drowned...
What is this world
turning into...
Give this to your parents
and tell them to come.
Yes ma'am.
Talent Show
Invitation
Soo Yeon.
Hey.
I'm sorry
I had a load of work to do.
I should've gone with you.
So? How is it?
Does he treat you well?
- He is...
- Yeah?
He's so scary.
He doesn't smile.
He doesn't answer me.
He's probably
feeling awkward.
You promised you'll smile
no matter what.
Gonna see your mom
with that long face?
Come on, smile.
A suspect?
He's holding a kid hostage
And we found another body.
It's been 30 minutes now,
and he's speaking gibberish.
Yeah? Then it's similar.
Nothing is ever that easy.
Oh, you're here.
Stay here for a minute.
Alright.
What the...
The Six Million Dollar Man?
Leave us alone!
Get out of my house!
Put down the knife.
None of your business!
I've got nothing!
My child's life is up to
my own will!
All of you!
Get out of my house!
Then kill him.
- What?
- Go on, kill him!
Yes, kill him.
He's better off dead
then living with you.
You know
what he was eating?
Garbage.
God damn garbage
off the street!
Take a look at yourself.
What has he done wrong?
He's so young and innocent.
Get the kid!
We'll take him,
close the scene
and wrap it up.
Go ahead,
you can tell me everything.
What is it
you want to know?
I can find out.
You know I can!
Fine!
My stepfather touched me!
Did you really
have to hear that?
Are you happy now?
What can you do for me?
I'm going crazy...
It's so filthy
I can't stand it!
Min-hee.
Let's make
this world beautiful
So who is that guy?
Six million dollar?
Is he rich?
I saw him yesterday.
He's quite mysterious.
Mysterious? How?
I don't know...
He's got some special eyes.
Eyes?
You!
Yes?
Look at my eyes.
What am I thinking
right now?
I don't know... Women?
Nevermind.
Forget about it.
Damn, kids are dying,
I keep bumping into a freak.
What do you think
the kids were like?
No missing report...
Wouldn't their family
be worried?
Maybe they don't
have family.
What? I was just joking.
Yes! They don't have family.
No family,
therefore, no report, right?
- Orphans?
- Okay.
Let's look into it.
It's delicious.
The soup is great.
Child Care Report
I worked on it
all night long.
Are there usually
this many?
These are the families
that are confirmed.
These are the three
who says the kids are missing.
Name/ Kim Joo-mi
Any reason they don't
file a missing report?
Well, the kids
sometimes run away.
They probably think the kids
went to where they came from.
Here...
You can see them
having hard time
adjusting to new home.
A house without a door
or people drawn only with lines.
Tells you they are
mentally unstable.
So we were doubling
the meetings,
and making more visits...
This one is
a little different.
Yes.
It's a girl at an orphanage
that I volunteered before.
She was so bright then...
Thanks for your help.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Did you see that girl?
What a prude face
with a smoking body.
Dumbass...
Child Care Report
There's a family
I couldn't contact.
There was a small mistake
during the procedure.
The parents we signed
weren't available.
We had to leave her
under a certain situation.
A situation?
It was a mistake.
She used to like me a lot...
I'm a bit worried.
Thank you.
Oh, and I forgot...
Can I have the profiles
of the employees?
It's not a big deal,
just for reference.
It's a part of procedure.
Take care.
Can I take a look around?
Yes, officer.
Park Soo-yeon.
Did you look into it?
Current guardian's name is
Ryu Jung-ho.
32-year-old male,
his parents died from
a car accident
His uncle, who adopted him,
owns the house.
Yeah?
Went to the U.S.
At the age of 17,
no criminal record.
And the child?
She's in class.
One of my guy's on her.
I made a visit to his house.
Then you should come here.
You'll be
very surprised.
I can't wait
to see that face.
- What do you mean?
- Quickly.
- What?
- Get here quickly.
Fine, nothing special here.
I'll get there soon.
- Okay.
- Alright.
What the... Lolita?
Third time, huh?
They say a series of
coincidence means a destiny.
Third time already.
Crazy...
I'm falling under
a suspicion, right?
You can tell?
Well, I can't wait when
I'm curious about something.
The subway incident,
and the hostage incident...
How you knew it,
why you did it
I wanted to find out.
What can you tell
from that couple?
Well...
They seem happy
to death to me.
We often miss
even the things we see.
The girl is
wishing him a happiness.
And wants him
to remember her.
You can tell what and how
someone is feeling.
From looking at his actions.
I just...
happen to know more.
Mr. Jung-ho,
when did you arrive in Korea?
You have no parents,
went to the U.S. To study.
Working as a photographer.
What do you want?
Your darkroom is filled with
pictures of girls.
Quite an unusual taste,
I see.
Seen anything like this?
You like dolls, too?
Do you know Soo-yeon?
I'm so glad
he likes the soup
I made for him.
I'll cook you one
when you wake up.
Mom, you want to hear
the song for talent show?
# You are born to be loved
# Within your life,
you are being loved
# You are born to be...
Mom... I don't feel well
He's going for
only the orphan girls.
And Soo-yeon could be
his next target.
It's an instant shock.
A shock?
You didn't know?
She had an internal bleeding
in her eyes 2 years ago.
It's a minor cataract
It wasn't hard to cure then.
But her cornea is infected,
and it's now incurable.
Only if we stopped
the infection...
If she doesn't get
a cornea transplant,
she'll permanently
lose her sight.
It was a car accident.
Her father died,
and her mother
became a vegetable.
Poor little girl...
So young and innocent.
I will take the MRI,
but it will be the same.
It's now incurable.
Don't worry,
it's just a bad cold.
You should be proud of her.
Get well soon.
So you can finally see her.
Yes, thank you.
The first case happened
And he arrived 4 days ago.
He's not the one.
Is that so?
We often miss...
even the things we see.
What?
Is that
some fortune cookie?
What's wrong with you?
The breakfast!
What happened to me?
You have a cold.
The doctor said you should
eat well to get healthy.
Do you eat like this
every morning?
But her clothes
is different.
Right?
We never bought her this.
Since when
have you even cared?
Have you ever seen
this guy?
So you think he's the one?
Well, he seems
ordinary, but...
His daughter died last year
from pneumonia.
She was 10 years old.
That's about 3rd grade
which is similar
to other victims.
How about his family?
Only had one daughter.
He got divorced
and is living by himself.
And Detective Choi?
He's looking after
the next potential victim.
He was in charge of
this guy.
The kid wouldn't
open her mind.
So he often visited us.
We really liked her...
It's my first time
seeing her smiling.
That... Jung-ho is not
the one for sure?
His arrival record says so.
But what's with the drugs?
Just to make them
feel good?
Good nutritive conditions
Weird clothing...
Then suddenly
changes his mind
and kills them?
- Weird, right?
- Yes.
Took a good care of them,
and no sign of
external wounds.
That means
it wasn't intentional.
Exactly.
The doll...
and the mushroom.
He wants the kid to smile.
Therefore take a good care of her.
Hide them.
Hide and protect?
Okay.
Let's see.
What is this for... huh?
They are all so useless.
God...
Video tape?
A pervert?
Whoa... a mushroom soup...
Alright.
Yummy.
What?
Pretty.
Little pig,
Please open the door.
Let me come in.
Yes? Oh!
It's a big bad wolf.
Please open the door.

Doctor said
she's sick and
taking a long nap.
She couldn't make it today
but she will next time.
Your mom is...
very proud to see you
being very courageous.
You've talked to her?
How?
You wanna know a secret?
What place do you
want to go the most?
You must be this tall to ride
Hey...
Can you teach me
how to take pictures?
Give me a smile.
Smile!
You...
You should've helped!
It was going to
die anyways.
But, but...
You shouldn't interfere
something you can't change.
It only leaves pain.
You still
should've helped her!
Everyone dies some day.
The mommy bird,
the baby bird.
My mom is not gonna die!
I... I hate you!
Mystery of
supernatural powers...
He was pick pocketing
at the crosswalk nearby.
And got hit by a car.
Nice going.
I looked into the bags
for any IDs...
But he had so
many wallets.
And we found hallucinant
in the blood test.
What the hell,
he does drugs, too now?
He does every
filthy thing.
Tell Detective Yang
to file a report for him.
Yes, sir.
You shouldn't smile...
Mom.
You're gonna get up,
right?
That's a pretty flower.
What's your name?
The flower? Or me?
Get off and say goodbye.
There we go.
What happened?
Are you okay?
Are you alright?
Soo-yeon... Where is she?
Why is he not answering?
Maybe something happened
to Detective Choi, too
Damn it!
Where the hell is he?
Damn...
Who is this guy?
Wait, that guy?
Where's Soo-yeon?
I know she was with you
Where is she?
I went to your home
and tried to contact you.
But I couldn't.
And I lost contact with
the guy keeping eye on her.
And I ended up like this...
We know you're very worried.
But you should wait
at home.
It's all my fault...
I disappointed her.
Poor little girl...
Homicide squad.
Yes... what?
What time was it found?
Detective Kim,
it's that way.
Jung-ho.
Let me go check myself.
Don't worry too much.
Hello?
It's me.
You, piece of shit
Where the hell are you!
I left my cellphone
in my car in a rush.
You still
should've contacted me.
Where are you?
Are you okay?
My legs are so sore from
walking around all day.
- All day?
- Yes.
Were you with him
the whole time?
Of course!
To the orphanage,
kindergarten.
My car probably got towed, too.
Nevermind your fucking car.
Just get back here!
Tonight another girl was
found to be dead
at the recycle centre
in Gangnam-gu.
That is the third victim,
and the police is investigating...
It's getting
so complicated.
- Should we eat?
- Watch it, watch it...
Take it easy man,
I'm a patient now.
Man, that hurts!
Captain!
You left hospital now?
Yes.
God, that bastard...
Come on, move, move!
I heard you got promoted.
Wow, congratulations!
Can you go to jail now?
What are you talking about?
I just got out.
It's been so long,
I should go around.
And say hi to everyone.
Is that so?
Then get something to eat.
Keep it quiet!
I'm losing my appetite!
Sense the damn mood!
What's wrong with
Detective Kim?
None of your business.
Do you do drugs, too now?
Who did you get it from?
What do you mean?
I don't do drugs.
This shit right here.
I'm never having
any mushroom ever again.
The soup with this thing
really screwed me over.
That's right.
It felt so weird and all
Did you say mushrooms?
Getting ready for
talent show
The talent show
You know it, too.
There's nothing you can do.
That's not true.
Not true!
These are the victims,
right?
Yes, sir.
Where did you get these?
Yangjae-dong residence,
next to the Green Villa...
- Wait for me!
- The closet in the room!
There's a box
in the closet!
- Call for a backup!
- Right away, sir.
- Hello?
- Answer the phone.
This is detective Choi.
I have a favour...
Huh?
We tried to contact you
but you didn't answer.
We found another evidence
We're on our way.
Evidence?
Yay!
Getting ready for talent show
The talent show
Hey...
Where am I?
What's wrong?
No, I have to
take care of you.
It's okay, it's okay.
Once you get in,
get the kid first,
- Yes, sir.
- OK?
- Captain!
- Did you find out?
It's Jung Yoo-jin,
from child care services.
What?
Who?
- Come this way.
- Look closely.
- Did you find anything?
- We got the mushrooms!
Nothing in here.
Where's
the investigation team?
- Get moving.
- Yes, sir.
Orphanage
You'll get drowsy.
Don't worry about anything.
You should go to heaven.
Soo-yeon!
No... not here!
Jung Yoo-jin herself
is from an orphanage.
Adopted at 17,
and was in a forensic
psychiatry for 2 years.
Forensic Psychiatry?
For what?
She's got a diagnosis from
a psychiatrist.
She was sexually abused
in her foster home.
Then she stabbed her
foster father.
I tried to look deeper about it.
The foster parents refused
to discuss about it.
Let me see that.
Be extra careful.
We're on our way,
so don't make any stupid moves.
Get it? Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Detective Kim!
Soo-yeon!
Soo-yeon, wake up!
Mr. Ryu...
Yes, it's me
Are you okay?
Get that filthy hands
off of her!
Soo-yeon!
Are you okay?
I feel dizzy...
Soo-yeon, come on.
Let's move.
This way.
No!
Yoo-jin...
Come on, you gotta hide.
Come here!
You shouldn't be with him.
No... Come this way.
Don't do this!
She's not your child!
Dad... give me the baby back.
Please don't.
Filthy...
Filthy...
Filthy...
You filthy bastard!
My baby!
Mr. Ryu!
Soo-yeon, run!
Let me go!
- Don't!
- Go, quick!
You should come with mom.
Don't go!
Don't go!
Filthy.
I'll clean you up.
I'll clean you up myself.
It's over now.
What?
Everything is over.
No way.
Nothing is over yet.
I can't see anything.
I'm so scared.
Soo-yeon, Soo-yeon!
Wake up!
Soo-yeon.
Don't ever fall asleep,
okay?
I'm scared...
Soo-yeon! Soo-yeon!
Jung-ho!
Are you okay?
I'm fine
Just get Soo-yeon.
What do you mean!
Suck it up!
Detective Kim,
there's no time.
I'll be right back,
hang in there.
Mr. Ryu...
I've never seen anybody
who died like him before.
Covering
his eyes like that...
Unfortunately...
If she doesn't get
a cornea transplant,
she'll permanently
lose her sight.
Ryu Jung-ho lies here
He must be glad
to see you visit him.
The sound of birds, winds.
They're beautiful, huh?
I bet he's listening to
those, too, right?
He can't hear.
He got in a car accident.
Since then,
he lost his hearing.
You wanna know
a little secret?
But he said
he can communicate
with his eyes,
and his heart.
We often miss
even the things we see.
The girl is
wishing him a happiness.
I feel like I know
what he was talking about.
That he will be fine now.
Right?
Why are you smiling?
I just...
feel so comfortable
around you.
I don't think about anything.
I don't worry about anything.
That's because...
You like me so much.
How do you know that?
You can't even hear me.
I can...
listen to your heart.
