No! Mother!

She crying! Jane!

Mother! Mother!

Jane!

Mother!

That was the last time

I saw Yeon.

A few days later,

she ran away with her kid.

Anymore contact afterwards?

I think she contacted

my wife a few times.

She took the baby

to a hospital in Seoul,

she said the baby

will get better.

Then no more calls.

Do you remember

which hospital?

What is that?

He's coming here?

Morning!

- You were home?

- Hey there!

What's up?

- How are you?

- We're good!

Ms. LEE! Please stop!

Please stop!

Ms. LEE!

Stop!

Are you LEE Ji-sun?

Please find my son!

My poor son!

Find my son Suk-ho!

I haven't heard from him

for a week!

Okay, please calm down!

They said a bad woman

could ruin a family!

Please calm down!

- She messed with my baby!

- Come this way!

Please find him!

- We will!

- I'm begging you!

Okay, come this way.

Officer KIM!

Go and calm her down.

Good afternoon, we're from

Western Seoul precinct.

It was a hassle

catching her!

Ms. LEE?

Do you want to fill me in?

Should we do it here

or back in Seoul?

Gangnam Catholic Hospital...

Let's transport her

to our car.

Gangnam Catholic Hospital.

Gangnam Catholic Hospital.

Gangnam Catholic Hospital!

What did you eat today?

Hungry?

You look cute today.

Hello?

I'm Det. PARK

from Western precinct.

Is there a HAN Jane?

Da-eun,

where is she?

What did you do to her?

What's your relation

to Han-mae? Tell me!

MISSING CHILD:

What did you find out?

It's called congenital

biliary atresia,

only 1 in 1,000 infants

have the disease.

Without a liver transplant,

the baby dies in 2 years.

The mother wasn't compatible,

and HAN Suk-ho didn't

get a biopsy.

And she was discharged

while waiting for a donor.

Why did she take Da-eun?

Maybe that's why!

PARK was said to be

involved with organ trafficking.

Trafficker and a mother

who needs an organ!

Shut the hell up!

Have some basic decency.

I'm en route.

Okay, I'll head that way.

MISSING CHILD:
HAN JANE

12 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME

Here! Look!

We already told you

we can't upgrade your bed.

Everyone wants window beds,

don't you think?

That's not it!

Look at this!

So you really don't remember?

I don't.

I really wish I could.

We can't treat

those type of patients.

The rooms are here,

but it's up to internal medicine.

So how did that woman

have your ID card?

Only the poor suffers.

What a life.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Ms. LEE? Ma'am?

Could you stay in the car?

Hello sir.

Yes hello.

Det. KIM!

Got anything?

He's burn to a crisp.

We sent the DNA

for analysis,

the result will be out

in the morning.

Everything's charred,

it's all useless.

Oh you're not supposed to come.

Ms. LEE!

I told you to stay in the car!

Put her back in the car!

Da-eun!

My daughter!

There wasn't a child,

don't worry.

Take her back!

When did the fire break out?

Initial estimate points to a week.

- A week?

- Yeah.

Didn't HAN go missing

around then?

What took you so long?

You were out for...

Han-mae, you okay?

Any updates on PARK Hyun-ik?

No, not yet, sir.

I get the feeling that

the doctor has some

connection to the nanny.

Why are we here then?

We're here to find out.

PARK was last said to be

in Garibong district.

- It's like a hornet's nest.

- So you won't bother?

Who are you?

The doctors may not know

but a few nurses do.

The singing Chinese woman.

"The singing Chinese woman"?

We all called her that.

She sang... not beautifully, but...

How should I put it?

Which dream

are you dreaming of?

I want to see

your smile

Inside mamas embrace

Falling asleep...

Which dream are you

dreaming of?

Please sing once more.

My kid's falling asleep.

Guardian of HAN Jane?

Is her guardian here?

Yes, me.

It says the guardian is

Mr. HAN Suk-ho.

Is there a Korean guardian?

I've never seen

her daddy once,

why do you need him?

Could you come with me please?

Yes.

The payment is overdue.

You must pay the bills

by this week.

Or we have no choice

but to discharge her.

Discharge, out!

Do you understand?

Mag? What is it?

Money, I need.

Help me.

Can I really get paid

by next week?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Sunday! No late!

Please!

Please wait!

You said this week!

Someone will come

with the money!

Please wait like you promised!

We've waited for a few hours!

Legal guardian HAN Suk-ho

stated that

he won't pay and

consented the discharge!

But even so,

she's the mother!

She's not a national,

she has no legal rights.

You can come back

for check ups!

She can get better at home

if you take care of her.

It's not the end of the world.

Security!Security!

Grab her!

I sorry!

Tidy up that bed.

Help, please help...

HAN JANE:

You know that Maru Apartment

missing child case?

Update it as a kidnap case,

and request support.

Dispatch everyone to Maru

right away.

Respiration is dropping!

To the surgery ASAP!

Where the hell have you been?

It's acute pneumonia.

Since she's a baby,

it's spreading to the lungs...

So why was she in ER

for hours?

There aren't any beds.

Do something quick!

Look, what about HAN Jane?

Discharge her!

JANE:

Is the kimchi fridge busted?

Why is it all frozen?

It's good,

very cold.

How could you let her

get kidnapped?!

This is your fault!

It's not Da-eun...

What?

It's not her.

This is 911.

Baby... my baby...

Yes, how can I help you?

Hot, she's hot...

Yes, go on.

Hello?

This is...

Hello? Hello?

Han-mae!

Home? Already?

No, I have to go back

at night.

Mama!

Da-eun! Mom's home!

Is my baby angry?

Home, go eat.

What a beautiful day!

It's stuffy being at home

all day, right?

No.

Should we go to the beach

this summer?

Have money?

Money?

You're killing me.

PARK Hyun-ik!

Stop denying it.

MONDAY:

Think this through.

Your footprints were

found at the scene.

This is the car you rented,

and the tire prints too.

You killed the husband alone,

and kidnapped the baby too?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

I need to know something

to answer you.

You didn't do this alone.

PARK Hyun-ik.

This is beyond the scope

of your past crimes.

Will you take the fall

and rot in prison alone?

I really don't know.

Where's the Chinese woman?

Do whatever you feel like.

It's nice and cool in here.

You can't come in here.

Is she alive?

Please help.

If she's alive,

I'll do anything.

Please help Da-eun.

Anything? Really?

Anything.

I'll do anything.

Please return her to me.

I'm begging you...

Okay, okay.

Have you eaten?

Did you eat?

Did you?

I'll do it for you.

Okay, okay, let's go.

Hold still.

What the f***?!

Husband!

- My husband!

- Get out of the way!

He's the father

of my baby!

To admit my daughter

in a hospital,

I need his help!

If he doesn't consent,

she will die!

Please! Please!

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Sunday! No late!

Please!

I'm not scared.

I will live.

Jane will live...

I'll live happily with Jane...

I didn't see her

for a while afterwards.

I didn't look for her either.

Then a month ago,
