She's washing.

Hey, Porori!

Toad...

-you're captured.

-Hey, you!

Give it! I'm watching cartoons!

Really.

-You're captured.

-Hey, Porori!

Here, here.

Kidnapping is the worst thing

in the world. How would you...

Please send back Yoosun ASAP.

This is my dying wish.

I love you. Bye.

Is anybody out there?

Somebody help me!

Go away! Go away!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Ryu!

Ryu...

Ryu...

No! The water's deep, even standing

it's far over my head.

I now know why I thought

the water was deep.

I hadn't gone back since being a kid.

When I was a kid,

it was up over my head. Way over.

Near Seomjin River...

Have you ever done

anything to provoke anyone?

Please think again.

I always thought I lived an honest life.

That's what everyone says.

Excuse me, but what is your net worth?

I'm a high school graduate...

and I started as an electrical engineer.

When the economy crashed...

my wife left me.

But why I don't understand...

Why didn't you call the police?

I thought lots of kids were returned safely.

If I do what they tell me.

Sir, I checked...

and it looks like they

used Yoosun's cell phone.

I called but they didn't answer,

so we can't locate them.

This is Yoosun's number, right?

My wife gave it to her before she left.

Just a second, please.

Yeah, I'm working.

So an operation will take care of it?

Where would I get 10 million won?

What the hell am I supposed to do?

At least our kid wasn't kidnapped

and killed.

We're lucky, you know. 'Cause we are poor.

Saw.

Hold it.

One, two...

three!

Saw.

That's not it.

Lung has gone through its course.

It looks like a woman's handwriting.

Do you recognize it?

Yoosun.

Yoosun, Mommy was wrong.

Honey, wake up.

In the summer of 1996,

there was a stir outside.

They captured an image of a spider that

lives in water, not on tree or between rocks.

There has never been such occasion

in this country.

It was discovered in a remote area...

in Kyunggi province, near Yeonchun.

Daddy...

why didn't you give me

swimming lessons a bit earlier?

I sold the company...

and I put this house up for sale.

That's...

all the money I have.

Well, there's nothing special about it.

A brother and sister lived here.

They don't know where they moved to.

I'll look into it.

Let's go. Nothing more to see here.

You asked if I ever provoked anyone?

Are you the father?

Well, actually-

I am. How is he?

If I were a very optimistic doctor...

I'd tell you...

there was hope.

When did you first know

we'd become like this?

The moment our eyes met.

You're like an ant.

An ant?

They say ants are psychic.

They predict earthquakes and floods.

That was Baek Hyun-jin's "Affection"...

requested by a man who signed

his name as "Ryu of Doksan-dong. "

Any of you remember this guy?

He was deaf.

He sent a postcard two months ago,

saying his sister was sick.

Oh, no. She passed away.

He says, "I'm the one who killed her.

"My life has no meaning now. "

You shouldn't say that.

Would she want to see you like this?

Don't forget she's watching you

from above.

I know you can't hear me...

but me and our listening audience...

are praying for you.

Be strong.

To help you out...

I'll send you a new

Maybell kimchi refrigerator.

You didn't write an address...

so if anyone listening to

this broadcast knows him...

please let him know.

We're waiting for such touching

stories from you, our viewers.

If there's a story you want to tell,

send me a letter.

Our address is Seoul, Yeongdungpo-gu...

Yeouido Post Office, Box #87...

c/o Lee Geum-hee.

I kept them

because the pictures were pretty.

I cried so much while reading them.

But is he really a kidnapper?

I shouldn't send him a gift, then.

You haven't sent it, have you?

Don't say anything. Just leave.

Don't say anything. Just leave.

Car:
Matiz, Seoul 3296

Color:
Orange

He's mentally disabled, not stupid.

President Park, this is Choi speaking.

Since the autopsy results are out...

and we checked the car...

Yes, I know that place.

I'll see you there at 2:00.

Yes.

Yes, I'm calling about the sticker.

Yeah, the kidney transplant.

Yes.

She wouldn't have lived long anyway.

I searched through the hospitals

and found her file.

Yes.

I was lucky to receive an organ

from a brain-dead patient...

but apparently they didn't

have enough money.

President Park...

what I really want to ask is...

What are you going to do

to the bastards when you find them?

Kill him.

Dismantle the conglomerates!

Drive out American products!

Destroy the new liberalism

that ruins the lives of the people!

Drive out American products!

Destroy the new liberalism

that ruins the lives of the people!

I understand.

I'll wire you the money tomorrow,

and then call you back.

Destroy the conglomerates!

Destroy the conglomerates!

Drive out American products!

Are you going far?

Hell, yeah.

Sh*t, you said I could go first!

It's in an artery, Chulseung.

Don't take it out!

Mom!

The noodles were all soggy last time,

so I threw it out.

Yeah, hurry.

Huh?

Where is the bastard?

F*** you.

Where?

F*** you.

Tell me, you b*tch!

F***!

Next time, please don't order just one dish.

Mister.

We didn't kill Yoosun on purpose.

I'm sorry, we made a mistake.

But I have something to tell you.

I'm not just any ordinary person.

If anything happens to me...

my organization, a terrorist group...

they'll kill you.

For sure, 100%.

I gave them your picture.

If you want to live, just leave me.

This is for your sake, honest.

And then...

I'm sorry.

She sat next to the deaf kid in first grade.

Then she's deaf, too?

No.

Then how come she went

to the same school?

What I mean is...

she got expelled when

they found out she wasn't deaf.

She went to college a bit,

and was a left-wing activist.

She sneaked onto a boat once,

trying to reach North Korea.

And?

She got caught by some fishermen.

She was caught in the net.

She's part of the

Revolutionary Anarchists' Association.

What?

I mean, she was.

Go talk to Intelligence

and bring in a few of them.

The problem is...

she was the only member.

Make way please, excuse me.

Move aside, please.

What's going on here?

Excuse me, we're coming through.

I'm sorry, you can't ride here.

It's C-3.

They found some of Cha Youngmi's

flyers at a crime scene.

What scene?

Three people were murdered.

The organ dealers are dead!

But their sides are cut open.

You know what that means?

He took the kidneys!

President Park,

he seems like a real psycho.

Killed three people by himself.

Is he really human?

Give this up now.

I'll return all your money.

I know you're a good guy.

So you know...

the reason why...

I have to kill you?

Huh?

Right?

Hello?

Inchon Central Hospital.

This is Peng Yoonchol's father, right?

He just died at 1:20.

Please come in

to take possession of the body.

The mortuary's on floor B2.

You've got the wrong number.

What?

You guys, why are you...

"The Ruling. " We sentence you to death.
