There, there. Nice and warm!

Are you happy you got

a makeover, Silky?

I like the way I am.

This is not me. I hate it!

I know.

Your mommy doesn't know

what you like, huh?

Hot pink of all colors!

There.

Feels good, huh?

You look so pretty, Silky.

I'm a feisty cat.

I'm being good, cuz you're nice.

Really?

All done!

THE CA:

Oh my!

You bought so much!

There was a sale at the mall.

But nothing much to buy.

Where's Silky?

She's gorgeous.

So-yeon?

Oh my! My baby looks

much better!

See? I knew pink would

look good on her.

Still, hair dye is not good.

Cats lick it during grooming.

That's why we put

just a dab on the cheeks.

I should've given her a cut, too.

She had it done not too long ago.

They get cold in the winter.

Okay then.

How much is it?

$50, please.

Did you lose weight?

You look so thin.

Really?

I go to the gym and take the stairs

in our apartment.

So scary.

Scary little kitty.

So-yeon? Mrs. LEE's leaving.

There, there.

Stay still.

What's going on?

What's with you!

What's taking her so long?

It's time to go.

Giving the cat a makeover...

Why isn't she answering?

There she comes.

What the?

Are you in there, hon?

Answer your phone.

What's going on?

She doesn't want to go inside.

So, he made

a fire for her outside.

Why doesn't she want to go in?

Cuz it's dark.

She could turn on

the light inside.

She's actually scared of

being unable to come back out.

Why can't she?

Cuz he's keeping guard.

The boy is keeping guard on her.

So that the girl

can't go anywhere.

You tried to ride

on the subway, right?

Yes.

You were scared,

but nothing happened, right?

Yes.

But I still can't go on elevators.

And I still can't

keep the doors closed.

If I do...

You feel like there will be a fire

or you'll suffocate to death?

Yes.

Why am I not cured?

I take my pills as prescribed.

Claustrophobia can't be cured

by medication alone.

You have to make effort

to face your fears.

I'll prescribe the usual.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

It's dangerous here. Go home.

- What's happening?

- Stay back kids.

- Officer KIM!

- Yes?

Do something with this, will ya?

Shouldn't we take it?

It's something left at the scene.

If you're that worried

take some fur samples or something.

Careful. It's possessed.

Stop it, sir.

Go to the maintenance office

and get the CCTV files.

Jun-seok?

Oh, hello.

That uniform suits you.

Really?

Do you live here?

No, I work at a pet shop nearby.

I colored her cheeks

just a while ago.

Really?

It belongs to the woman

who just died in an accident.

She died? How?

I'm not sure. They think

it was a heart attack.

Oh...

Do you mind watching

this cat for a while?

What?

You can't, right?

- It's okay. I'll take her.

- Really?

Thank you.

How's Bo-hee doing?

Good.

Can I have your number?

I'll call if the owner

wants it back.

It was with her when she died?

That can turn customers away!

It's just until the owner

is ready to take it back.

Then, leave it at your house.

Out of my way!

Stay in here just for a while.

There.

Silky?

What's the matter?

We're home.

I live alone.

Why?

I'm not telling.

There are no doors here.

Why?

Cuz I get scared

with the door closed.

There's no door

even in the bathroom?

Why? I just told you.

Poor Silky with no mommy...

It's okay. I'll take care of you.

Hi, Bo-hee.

I found out I can get a free cat

from an animal shelter.

I could luck out with a nice one.

You're not the type to raise pets.

You abandoned one before,

remember?

No! It ran away.

So, are you coming with me or not?

Please?

Okay.

- Bo-hee?

- Hmm?

I met Jun-seok today.

Where?

Near the pet shop.

He works as a local police.

Really? He actually became a cop?

You haven't met him since?

Why would I?

It's over between us.

I'm okay with it.

With what?

It doesn't matter to me.

You used to like him.

I gotta go.

Silky? Are you playing

hide-and-seek with me?

Where are you?

Where are you?

There you are!

I gotcha.

Was that the first time

you saw the girl?

No, I saw her once before.

Where?

At work... out the window.

Did you have a bob cut

as a child?

I think so.

You were 6 when you

experienced the trauma, right?

The memories can

come back in dreams.

It's part of the healing process.

It'll get better soon.

- What are you thinking about?

- Hmm?

You have something

to say, don't you?

Like what?

I said I'm okay with it.

Jun-seok is a nice guy.

It's not that.

Is that the place?

Yeah, let's go.

LOOKING FOR LOST CA

There are so many.

Why do you want

a long-haired cat?

To practice on.

You're taking a poor cat

to practice grooming on?

So what? They'll all be

put to death anyway.

If I take one,

I'll be saving its life.

There should be some

give-and-take.

- But still!

- Stop nagging.

That's enough.

It won't be just for practicing.

I'll take care of it.

How may I help you?

I called about adopting a cat?

One moment, please.

Mr. LEE?

Someone's here for a cat!

Stop it!

Shut up!

This one's so pretty!

It's a chinchilla cat.

So pretty.

Why do you like cats?

What?

Well...

They're cute.

What's this one's name?

Wit.

Wit?

Dimwit.

Look around, then.

Did you decide?

I'll take this one. Dimwit!

Sure.

- Mister?

- Yeah?

Man! Just when I went

and turned it on.

Damn it!

Bo-hee!

Bo-hee!

Is anyone there?

What are you doing?

So-yeon!

What's wrong? So-yeon!

It's playing.

Can we see this?

Headquarters took over the case.

Then go out and keep watch

why don't ya.

What's going on?

The file's not stopped.

You're right.

There she is.

Maybe she's...

What's that called

having a seizure and...

What?

Right! A panic attack! That's it!

It's definitely a panic attack.

Still, who dies

from panic attacks?

I never heard of that.

Then what is it?

You explain it.

I'm just saying, it might not

be a panic attack.

Why you...

But is it seiser or seizure?

Seizure, sir!

What's wrong? What is it?

What's wrong?

There's something inside.

There's nothing there.

Is this it?

Yes.

Well, goodnight then.

Oh, about that cat.

The owner's not ready

to take it back.

Can you watch it

for a little longer?

You came just to ask me that?

Could've just called.

Well, there's that and...

Did you tell Bo-hee

that I became a cop?

Oh...

You came cuz of that...

Yes, I did.

What did she say?

Nothing much.

I see.

She's the one who told me

to apply to be a cop.

Well, goodnight then.

Silky?

Dad?

Silky!

Did you sleep beside me, Silky?

What's your relation

to the patient?

His daughter.

Can you also fill out

the visiting form?

I'm not visiting him.

Why not?

You came all this way.

The patients' only joy here

is to see their family.

They can't even go out

by themselves.

They always ask

if anyone came to visit.
