Ms. Cha.
Wait outside.
(Call history)
(Ha Min Sung, 3 missed calls)
Should I call the police?
(Ha Min Sung)
Ms. Cha.
(Ha Min Sung)
(Birthday)
Ha Min Sung...
He goes to Shinsung Middle School, right?
He must be in second grade. Do you know him?
Min Sung...
is in my class.
Come take a look.
Is he in your class?
Yes. It's Min Sung.
Do you know this guy, then?
I don't.
Look.
He looks familiar.
Could he be Min Sung's family?
(Mrs. Ha)
(Chauffer Choi, why aren't you answering my calls? Answer it now.)
Does Min Sung have his own driver?
Yes.
Oh, right. I think I saw him.
- Did he come to school? - You mean Min Sung?
I'm not sure. I didn't attend the morning assembly.
Call the school.
You think he might not be in school?
- Check it. - I will.
Everyone came to school except for Eun Ho.
Ha Min Sung?
If this figure is congruent with another figure, we call them...
Thank you.
Okay.
He's at school.
Let's get out.
There are traces of violence on his body.
As you said, the bruises on his body might not be from school.
Let's go out.
This is Cha Young Jin from the SCS.
I found a hung body.
I request an inspection and an autopsy team here.
(The suspect of the stigmata serial murder case)
- Is Ms. Cha still not back? - No.
Get up.
She doesn't care about her rating since she got special promotions.
She ignores me all the time and does whatever she wants.
Now she stepped in other precinct's case and made me hear complaints.
What's worse, the case is so trivial.
It can be important to her.
He lives downstairs.
Do you know who lives downstairs?
Yes. My parents live downstairs.
- Upstairs? - I live on the rooftop.
The next doors to your parents' house?
And the next doors of the next doors?
Finish it quickly.
Ms. Hong.
Why don't you return to the felony crime section before you get older?
I'm already too old. Take her instead.
- I'm ready to do my best. - You should.
But what's more important is to comply with what your boss says.
- Command and discipline. - I like you.
You're better than someone.
Better than this guy next to me.
- Finish it in an hour. - Yes, sir.
Command and discipline!
Thank you, sir.
What is it about the boy downstairs?
The boy who lives downstairs of Ms. Cha fell from a height...
and hasn't gained his consciousness.
Goodness.
Is Ms. Cha all right?
Why?
The boy has been very close to her since he was little.
I met him when I visited his school.
So is Ms. Cha out there investigating it?
Yes. So the precinct's officer called...
Mr. Han to complain, and that's why he came here and nagged at me.
Gosh. Again, it's a losing case...
What do you mean by again?
What?
You just said it's a losing...
Yes, Ms. Cha.
I heard it from Mr. Han.
A body?
What about an inspection team?
I requested it already.
Bring the portable disk on my desk to me.
But Mr. Cha, I'm a bit...
Why?
Nothing. I'll be right there. Okay!
A body?
Wasn't she looking into the accident of the boy?
And she found it in the middle of it.
She really is a lucky detective with a lot of cases.
- You shouldn't call that lucky. - You shouldn't call that lucky.
You can't do that.
You're right. I'll be more careful.
Thank you.
What will you do with that?
It's just a formality for reporters.
Cases are more important.
We'll take care of it.
So we need to go report this, right?
It's okay.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
Thanks.
Come sit down.
This is not fair.
What can we do?
The felony crime section's schedules are set by criminals.
And think about how Ms. Cha would feel right now.
Wouldn't it be better if reliable coworkers help her like this?
Right.
Wrap it up.
Don't forget to do this after that.
She said the stigmata serial case would be her last case.
Do you agree to submit your DNA to the police?
Sorry?
The crime scene is full of our traces.
Okay.
(Portable fingerprints collecting paper)
I didn't.
I just let him leave.
There are traces of violence on his body.
About Eun Ho's bag...
You never saw it, and you don't remember it either.
But you said you saw it last morning.
He came to school at a very early hour,
so I brought him a soft drink and had a chat.
That's when I saw it.
Is that bag important?
It's not the one he usually carried with him.
And to say he changed to a new one, what were inside it were strange.
Just a pencil and a new notebook.
If his old bag isn't found in his house,
it'd mean whether he lost it or someone took it from him.
Open your mouth.
What kind of student is Min Sung?
He has many friends around him and gets good grades.
You want to know the relationship between him and Eun Ho, right?
There must not have been any problem on the surface.
When I asked you if anyone was bullying Eun Ho,
you answered there isn't one to your knowledge.
(Uncle Dae Hoon, English Tutor)
Shoot.
What is going on?
(Dae Hoon)
You may go back to school now.
You're telling me to go just like this?
I'll call you.
Give me your number.
We'll notify Min Sung and his parents ourselves.
Mr. Lee?
I thought...
what happened to Eun Ho was an accident.
And you flatly said it was a crime.
We followed the traces of Eun Ho,
and unbelievably,
we found a hanging body.
All these can't be a coincidence.
Does that mean Min Sung's chauffeur...
- attacked Min Ho? - We haven't...
verified anything yet.
Please don't tell anyone until we call you.
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
It must be troublesome for you.
Director Lim's story will also be released soon.
Since we're at it, I should ask you a favor.
You want me to prevent the school from being disclosed to the press.
Yes.
The school will be troubled enough for being involved... in the stigmata murder case.
If the incident last night gets out...
That is horrifying just to imagine.
I already asked the police station...
to keep the school hidden from the news... as much as possible.
Anyway,
it won't do us any good if the word gets out.
Yes, I see.
We should have a meal with Sun Woo anytime soon.
Yes, we should.
I'll look forward to it.
Too bad.
I can't stop her.
(Senior Inspector Cha Young Jin)
(Chairman Yoon Hee Seob)
(Ko Eun Ho)
Eun Ho?
Isn't he the one that came to our house last time?
He seemed very polite and nice.
He must have been harassed by some mean kids.
Anyway,
it's a relief that the perpetrator isn't in your class this time.
What was his name?
Do you know why Dong Myung did it?
Yes, Chairman Yoon.
Yes, there must be a Joo Dong Myung in second grade.
He was on the blacklist after he caused trouble in first grade.
He seems to be quiet these days.
Trouble?
He worked... part-time as a money collector of a voice phishing group.
- What was his punishment? - He was released after a warning.
I don't know what he's up to out there,
but in the school,
he's not doing any harm other than ruining the class atmosphere.
You don't know that.
What goes on among the students is usually hidden.
Well,
- you're right. - Look into it.
We might need to use it later.
Yes, sir.
(Mr. Lee Sun Woo, Homeroom Teacher, Ko Eun Ho)
Dong Myung, this is Mr. Lee.
Call me when you get this.
(Mr. Lee Sun Woo)
He fell... from the hotel.
Millennium?
You...
How do you know that?
(Shinsung Middle School)
Dong Myung!
- Hello. - Hello.
Quiet.
I don't see Min Sung.
I let him skip because he said he was unwell.
- Is he in the classroom? - Probably.
All right.
Where are you going, Mr. Lee?
- Don't go! - Don't go, Mr. Lee!
Min Sung.
I heard you were unwell.
Are you sick?
It's just a headache.
You should have gone to the nurse room.
It's not that bad.
Eun Ho...
How hurt is he?
He's injured.
How bad is he injured?
A lot.
We'll notify Min Sung and his parents ourselves.
Please don't tell anyone until we call you.
Min Sung.
Do you want to go out with me and have lunch?
Why?
What kind of answer is that? I want to buy you good food.
I'm fine.
You didn't have breakfast, right?
You seem to be feeling low.
I don't want to eat.
You still need to eat.
Let's go outside.
Yes?
Shouldn't you be at school now?
I thought I should quit...
and start making money now.
Check out somewhere else. I don't work with kids anymore.
Why not? It's cheaper.
You must have made money from somewhere.
You little prick.
I'm letting you go because of Eun Ho, okay?
If you're finished, beat it.
Haven't you heard of what happened to Eun Ho yet?
What about him?
If you were at Millennium Hotel last night,
you'll be in trouble.
- What are you talking about? - We'll talk inside.
(Green Food)
Ms. Cha.
Give it to me.
This is suspicious.
In there, I found a button of Eun Ho's school uniform down.
If Eun Ho's trace was found from the dead body...
This situation isn't a coincidence.
Check the CCTV footage of the hotel parking lot first.
Okay.
Ms. Cha.
I searched everywhere outside and couldn't find it.
I see.
What is it about?
Eun Ho's phone.
Someone called me through his phone yesterday afternoon.
Considering the time, I think they made a call here.
Ms. Cha.
- Yes? - What were you thinking?
The stigmata case.
What?
Some parts strangely remind me of that case.
His phone disappeared like Lim Hee Jung's case,
and if the man inside is the culprit,
he died just like the stigmata case.
Lim Hee Jung was the director of Shinsung Middle School.
Eun Ho is a student there.
Why did you come all the way here to tell me this?
I'm worried about you.
The accident happened at Millennium Hotel.
You might be suspected for nothing.
I didn't meet Eun Ho yesterday.
I see.
If the police visit you,
you'll only tell them about the part-time work, right?
What's there other than that?
I hope you don't mention my name.
I guess you're hiding something.
If you mention my name, the police will come to see me.
I might get intimidated and tell them...
about what you picked up at the hotel.
You must know well since you're an adult.
If you keep what you found in a building,
you could be charged for theft.
Gosh, this isn't what I'm here for.
Sir.
I want to see Eun Ho.
(Police)
(Evidence)
(Millennium Hotel CCTV Footage)
There aren't any scratches on his face.
The wound is above his neck.
His neck wasn't injured badly,
it'd most likely be intentioned suicide.
His hands weren't tied up, but he didn't try to escape.
If one chokes his neck with their weight,
he loses his consciousness immediately in most cases.
So he passes away in a relatively short time.
What if someone hooked his neck with a rope...
and pulled him from above?
To leave his face this clean,
they must've had to pull him as strong as his weight...
in an instant, at least.
Mr. Cha.
Yes?
There's no footage for the CCTV in the underground parking lot.
What?
You didn't include the CCTV footage for the underground parking lot.
Because we don't have it.
What do you mean?
It malfunctioned yesterday afternoon.
Just the one in the underground parking lot?
Yes.
Just that one, fortunately.
(Ko Hee Dong)
Mr. Cha?
I'll call you again.
Okay, goodbye.
Stop frowning.
Your face is even worse than that car.
I got it a month ago.
The kid survived thanks to that car.
Still, it's crushed too much.
What if the kid had died?
Imagine how you'd be right now.
It's much better than you getting crushed.
So...
stop frowning.
Hey. Let's go.
It's Detective Choi Man Ki of Incheon Police Station.
Hello, Mr. Choi.
About what you requested,
there won't be any articles about it.
Gosh, thank you.
Don't mention it. It wasn't even hard.
- Oh, by the way... - I'm listening.
The footage of your parking lot is missing from the files you provided.
Really?
Hold on.
(Detective Choi Man Ki)
- Hello? - Yes.
I just checked,
and the security camera malfunctioned yesterday afternoon.
It didn't record anything.
Good grief.
Is that a problem?
We've checked the footage,
but couldn't find any trace of him entering through the main gate.
It means he entered the parking lot in a car...
and walked up the stairs.
If there was someone with him,
it'll increase the possibility that it isn't an accident or suicide.
In that case,
it'll be hard to stop the press.
It can't be helped then.
I'm sorry, but I have an urgent business to attend.
I'll call you soon.
Tell Mr. Ko to come.
(Lee Sun Woo)
Do you think it really malfunctioned?
Maybe they gave it only to the detectives in charge...
because the crucial clue would be in there.
I'd be glad then.
They'd have clear evidence.
- You're right. - Ms. Cha.
We need the victim's DNA and fingerprints.
Where is the hospital?
I'll go. I need to go there anyway.
- Okay, then. - Thank you.
Mr. Lee.
Secure the CCTV footage of the hotel entrance...
and contact the owner of the car for a meeting. Don't mention Eun Ho.
Okay.
You see, a tiger...
puts all its might even when it hunts a rabbit.
To hunt a measly rabbit.
Okay?
I told you... many times to beware of safety maintenance.
You didn't think the rooftop door would be much of a problem.
Right? However,
this is the result of not doing your best.
Hee Dong.
Ko Hee Dong.
This hotel means special to me.
You know that.
This is where I broke out of my shell.
My secret safe house. The root of my success.
It's the kingdom... under my control.
But it's about to get attention due to an unfortunate accident.
Sang Ho.
I'm too ashamed to see you.
- I won't make the same mistake... - Mistake?
Goodness.
Gosh, hey.
Darn.
Hey, wipe it with this.
Thanks.
Hee Dong.
- Yes? - Not you.
Oh, ramyeon.
I thought... Okay.
- Get changed first. - What?
Your sleeve.
Hee Dong!
This desk should have been mine.
(Jang Ki Ho, close to Lim Hee Jung went off the grid)
Heavenly Father who takes care of everything in this world.
Please save me from evil.
Please give me the strength to defeat evil...
and lead me to your ways.
Also, your lamb, Ko Eun Ho...
is a righteous boy,
so please help him.
My life wish
Still all my song shall be
Goodness, Sang Ho.
No, should I call you Chairman Baek of the foundation...
or Chairman Baek of the hotel?
Call me whatever you'd like.
I thought the reporters would be camping outside.
Everything is sealed here.
So they went to scoop up stories from the Revival Band.
Anyway, what brings you here when you're so busy?
What?
We have an executive meeting for our foundation.
Gosh, I just dropped by while going past.
Is that so?
You really got on in the world.
You were almost starving to death when I found you.
I wondered what you'd become if you'd survive.
Then one day, you became the chairman of a hotel...
and the chairman of the foundation.
Goodness, you have a good memory.
Of course. So I know everyone who comes and goes from here.
Of course.
I heard we can't reach Jang Ki Ho.
I heard he hasn't been around since Ms. Lim.
By my memory, I couldn't see him a few days before it happened.
Why? Do you need to find Ki Ho?
Of course, he's our family.
Also,
I have something I need to get from him.
Here.
It's nothing special.
It's for your rice wine.
If you hear any news about him,
tell me in private.
Okay.
Do you know why Seo Sang Won got busted before he died?
It was because of me.
With this amazing memory,
I remembered his name, Seo Sang Won, from the photo...
of the stuffed angel with six wings... that lady detective brought.
Then you would remember how I was when I was young... with your amazing memory.
Of course.
- Come over here. - All right.
Come on.
I replaced the photo of Seo Sang Won... with something else.
Here.
It's you.
This one here used to follow you around.
- Ko... - Ko Hee Dong.
That's right. Ko Hee Dong.
He's Chairman Yoon Hee Seob of Shinsung Foundation...
and his wife.
His operation went well,
so he'll recover soon.
Of course.
I can't believe Eun Ho knew the chairman of this hotel.
Why did he go there?
What?
Why did he go to the Millennium Hotel?
I really can't understand him.
He's got nothing to do with that place.
He knew the chairman.
He only saw him at the assembly hall the day before.
He went there as the chairman of a welfare foundation.
I asked the lady on the upper floor, but she doesn't know either.
- Did you ask the detective? - Yes.
- Is she investigating the case? - Yes.
She can't do that.
Why?
She can't investigate cases that involve people around her according to the regulations of the police.
I don't know.
She must be investigating it because she can.
But since she's on it,
I feel relieved, though.
That detective,
does she and Eun Ho talk about everything?
I think so.
I don't know how they were recently.
(Joo Dong Myung: Get her out quickly.)
Hey. Since I'm here,
you should go out and eat...
and drink a cup of coffee at a cafe.
By myself?
We can't leave him alone yet.
I guess I should.
- Take care of him. - Okay.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
See you soon.
He looks fine.
Did you really fall off a ten-story building?
Detective,
I'll stay outside for a while.
Sure.
You look better than this morning.
You'll get up soon.
But I'm not going to wait until you tell me after you wake up.
Eun Ho.
Why did you go to that neighborhood?
It wasn't the way back home.
Who did you meet over there?
(Auntie: The surgery is at 1 p.m. the day after tomorrow.)
Did you finish?
Yes.
Please take good care of him.
I will.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Ms. Cha.
Is your mom's boyfriend at home?
Yes.
I have one thing to ask you.
- Sure. - On October 29,
did you sleep over at Eun Ho's house?
Well, one second.
October 29.
On that day, no.
- You didn't? - No.
I dropped off Eun Ho's mom because she was quite drunk.
I got her to bed and came out soon after.
Why do you ask?
Did you see Eun Ho at the house?
- Yes. - Didn't he look different...
or strange unlike usual?
Are you keeping it safe?
Yes.
It's just...
that his mother was really drunk,
and she said something harsh to Eun Ho.
- Will you give me your number? - Just a moment.
- This is my number. - Yes.
Goodbye.
- Where's Detective Cha? - Why do you ask?
Jang Ki Ho who was close to Lim Hee Jung disappeared.
How did you know that?
- Did you read my memo? - Yes.
- Don't read other people's stuff. - Excuse me,
don't you remember dumping your work on me?
I thanked you last time.
I'm sorry, all right?
But let's not tell Ms. Cha... about Jang Ki Ho yet.
She probably wants to focus on Eun Ho right now.
Sure.
What kind of look was that?
How annoying.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes.
- Did you make the call? - Yes.
Choi Dae Hoon's older sister said she'll check the body tomorrow.
But Min Sung's parents refused to testify.
It seems like we won't even be able to hear from Min Sung... for now.
Try calling them again. If they still refuse,
we'll ask the homeroom teacher for help.
He took the car, but he wasn't picking up his phone.
So I was about to report a theft.
- I can't believe he killed himself. - Right.
Don't worry too much, ma'am.
I'll take Min Sung home safely.
No, I'll pick him up.
- No, it's all right. - He has an afterschool class.
Why don't you let him take some rest today?
- He'd be shocked if he finds out. - Exactly.
He should go when he doesn't know yet.
Please don't tell him anything.
I won't.
Get home safely, everyone.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Yes.
We found the victim's fingerprints and DNA...
from the suspect's clothes and car.
There weren't any traces of the suspect on the hotel rooftop.
We haven't found one yet.
The suspect is dead, the victim is unconscious,
and all we have is indirect evidence.
- Don't do this. - I'm doing it.
Again!
Yes, investigate it to death. No, just die while you're on it.
But you have to choose one.
- You can't investigate both. - Mr. Han.
Choose!
- The stigmata serial murder case. - Yes.
- I'll give up on it. - What?
Hey.
It's cruel.
You said the stigmata case would be your last case last night.
Even if Eun Ho wakes up,
you won't be able to reveal the truth since the suspect is dead.
You won't be able to get out of it as you keep questioning it.
You couldn't finish it even after Seo Sang Won died.
So...
what I'm saying is...
- that now you can... - I have nowhere to run.
I got a call from Eun Ho's phone, and it was hung up without a word.
The call wasn't a mistake.
When I called back right away,
it was rejected.
But that's not your fault.
I know it's not my fault.
I do,
but I felt something was weird,
I didn't check.
If I had called him again,
maybe I could have stopped him from falling.
With Soo Jung and even now,
this is the only way to rid myself... of this guilt.
I don't...
know how to express my condolences. And...
I heard he was close to you.
Were you waiting to tell me that?
- I want to help. - Thank you for your concern.
I want to do it.
The crime started in an abandoned building near the school.
I want to know why he fell from the hotel.
- And... - And?
I hope we could solve this case as soon as possible...
so that you can focus on the stigmata case.
Mr. Han just told me to give up on the stigmata case.
But I know you're not really giving up.
- Did you get it? - Not yet.
Officer Yun will check the dashboard camera footage.
Yes.
He's still the same.
Did you find anything?
I want to check Eun Ho's room.
- Why? - The bag keeps bothering me.
I also wonder if his previous bag is at home.
I could even find a clue of some sort.
- If you don't want it, you could... - No.
I can't tell which one is evidence even if I see it.
- When do you want to check it? - Now.
- I'll text you the password. - Yes.
The number you dialed isn't available.
(To Joo Dong Myung)
I'm in front of your house.
I'm reporting a missing person if you don't show up.
(Class 1, Joo Dong Myung)
Yes, Dong Myung.
Where are you now?
Dong Myung!
Oh, boy.
I want to knuckle you on the head thinking of how you ignored...
all my calls the whole day.
But it's really good to see you.
Have a seat.
- Did you eat? - Skip to the end.
Tomorrow,
let's visit Eun Ho with me.
No, thanks.
How did you know the accident happened at the Millennium Hotel?
Are you asking if I'm the culprit?
If I'd suspected you,
I would've told the police about you already.
Anyone who saw your face when you heard of the accident...
would've known how much you worried.
I worked part-time there with Eun Ho before.
- In that hotel? - The boyfriend of Eun Ho's mom...
used to supply food ingredients to that hotel.
When his part-time workers didn't show up or were busy,
we went there to help out a few times.
I see.
Eun Ho...
is still unconscious.
But his condition is quite stable.
He'll wake up soon, so don't worry.
Okay.
Can I go now?
Okay, are you going home?
- Yes. - Hold on.
Here. Eat this at home.
Take it, you punk.
Go on.
If his old bag isn't found in his house,
it'd mean whether he lost it or someone took it from him.
How did it go?
I've confirmed Choi Dae Hoon's car entered then left the hotel.
You can't do this.
I frequent this place as if it's my house.
Acquaintances are the culprits of most criminal cases.
You obviously knew no one was here, but you still came.
Why did you go to Eun Ho's room without turning the lights on?
I left something behind... when I came here last time.
And what is that?
Well, my watch.
I needed to find it,
but I couldn't ask Eun Ho's mom to do it, considering her situation.
Eun Ho found money at the bathroom in the hotel.
How much?
It was 30,000 dollars.
We came out of the hotel and split the money in half.
Did he agree on that?
He suggested that we split the money.
Eun Ho, let's hurry and go.
Eun Ho.
What are you doing there?
I think this is for illegal dealing.
Things might get complicated if we report this.
I don't know what to do.
Let's just put it back to where it was.
Eun Ho.
I want...
to keep this money.
I will.
- If what you said it true... - I'm telling you.
I've kept it at home without spending a single penny.
(Ko Eun Ho)
(Choi Dae Hoon, Chauffeur, Buyer?)
(Ha Min Sung, Class 2-2 of Shinsung Middle School)
(Kim Chang Soo, Green Food)
(Joo Dong Myung)
Hello...
Hello?
Yes, Ms. Cha.
Now?
Okay, I'll be right there.
At the school I worked previously,
I had... a victim and a perpetrator of school violence in my class.
But...
I only listened to the victim...
and transferred the perpetrator to another class.
I didn't try to find out...
what happened between them what actually happened... to those kids.
So...
I didn't want...
to make the same mistake again.
Yesterday morning,
you said Dong Myung was in Eun Ho's class, right?
Yes.
(Ko Eun Ho)
I've seen this... when I was young.
Seo Sang Won.
I saw it at the church when I was young.
But where did Eun Ho see this?
Weirdly, Jang Ki Ho disappeared... when he was very close to Lim Hee Jung.
Wasn't it too early to put your cards on the table?
He may have known Jang Ki Ho's secret.
It's highly likely that he had an accomplice.
He got his money stolen,
and he found out that Eun Ho took it.
The money from Lim Hee Jung?
Actually, that's my money too.
All we need to find is Jang Ki Ho.
There's someone who saw Jang Ki Ho.
It was me who was at the Millennium Hotel that day.
Find the one who used my hotel for his crime.
You know where Dong Myung is, don't you?
He suddenly disappeared after he said he'd go home.
- Dong Myung. - I'm Cha Young Jin...
of the CSC's Felony Crime Section One.
It's an emergency. I ask for location tracking.
