The Truth Beneath Page #2

And Min-jin didn't have

art homework yesterday.

That's right, Min-jin didn't

have any art homework.

The signal from Min-jin's phone

switched off at 4:19pm.

The location was at school.

She was in class then.

It's possible her

battery ran out.

That's Mi-ok.

Min-jin stayed with Mi-ok

at school until late.

Because she had no umbrella.

CHOI Mi-ok

Min-jin and I left school

late at night.

I heard a car engine revving,

so I looked.

She got in a car and left.

A white car.

Don't lie.

My daughter's doesn't

leap into strange cars.

They seemed to

know each other.

A man, or a woman?

Could be a man...

or maybe a woman.

The license plate...

I don't remember.

I checked all the nearby

CCTVs, but couldn't see them.

What does your father do?

He's a driver.

He loads sh*t in the back

and drives it around.

That's called a sewage truck.

Then, your mother?

No mother. A stepmother.

Just the three of you?

I got a grandmother.

She's really sick.

Two sisters. Two brothers.

Where'd you get this?

You know what this is?

A watch.

Your dad supports 8 people

driving a sewage truck,

and you own that?

That watch was a gift

to Min-jin's dad.

Min-jin changed the band

and wore it herself.

But after we moved here,

it was stolen.

It was too expensive

to report to the police,

you say this is yours?

F***, it's mine!

Missing child CHOI Mi-ok?

The student Mi-ok?

The detectives and journalists

already asked about her.

KIM Chang-hoon The detectives and

journalists already asked about her.

Because I'm Min-jin's

homeroom teacher, I guess.

Yes, that's right.

I was her homeroom teacher

last year.

UM Ok-ran I was her

homeroom teacher last year.

But the detectives

already talked to me.

She had excellent grades.

1st year - class rank

Her scores were

very consistent.

2nd year - class rank

Mi-ok and Min-jin

were peas in a pod.

In first year, they were

in the same class.

But teacher.

That's a lie.

How can you call

her grades consistent?

Her grades transformed.

No proof that girl

swiped Min-jin's watch,

and telling the cops

just makes more trouble.

Should've left it be...

Min-jin's still gone.

What do we do?

I know it's strange to

bring it up now,

but remember our school

presentations on future goals?

Sure, you wanted to be

a first lady like Hillary.

Crazy me said

a good wife and mother.

You were such a hottie

back then.

But where could Min-jin be?

KIM Jong-Chan

Hello?

Yes, you're here?

NAM Su-choong,

violent crimes division.

- I took over this case...

- Let's talk in the car.

NOH Jae-soon

It was your wife who

discovered she was missing?

Yes.

That was the first day

of the campaign?

Why continue campaigning

after your daughter disappeared?

You'll just lose

support that way.

You want us to quit

the election?

No... it's just frustrating.

That sewage smell!

I'll open the window.

What were you doing

at the time she disappeared?

What?

What were you doing

when she disappeared?

I had an important meeting.

Who was the meeting with?

I can't say.

It's a political matter.

Just tell them, honey.

Later, if it becomes a problem,

I'll tell you then.

Remember when you rebelled

and wanted to be a singer?

Who does she take after,

running around like this?

She's off having fun somewhere.

The night she disappeared.

Who'd you stay out

so late drinking with?

Is that so important?

It's hugely important.

How important?

Important enough to decide

if I live with you, or not.

What?

If something ever happens

to our Min-jin,

what will you do then?

A girl vanishes, and her father

parades around campaigning.

Why return to a home like that?

I met someone I can trust.

How can I talk when

you look at me that way?

Authentication failed!

Check your ID/PW.

Hello, how can we help you?

Hello, my name is Kim Min-jin.

I forgot my ID and password.

What should I do?

F***. F***.

Min-jin Awesome

You have

53,660 unread messages.

Min-jin, couldn't you

clean this up?

October 2 6...

Min-jin how've you been?

My daughter Min-jin

will surely return!

I will never give up!

People, when my daughter

comes home,

I will be the most steadfast and

trustworthy father to her!

Mother-in-Law

Hello?

Sorry to call so early.

I'm the mother of

student KIM Min-jin.

Yes. How can I help you?

We talked on the phone sometimes,

since first year.

The detectives

already asked about it.

That's the day she disappeared.

Ah, that's payment day.

This month

I joined a savings club.

As you can see, their singing

is not exactly normal.

I guess you had no idea.

That she was so ostracized.

Min-jin said, more than anything

she didn't want you to know.

And her?

They were both picked on.

I still should have

told you long ago.

To be honest,

I'm worried, too.

- Help me, teacher.

- Ma'am!

She ate just a few mouthfuls

of rice before leaving.

I don't know if she's eating

properly where she is.

Help me.

I'm sorry.

That's really all I know.

Help me, teacher!

My daughter vanished,

but nothing has changed.

Just one... the daily calls

from NOH Jae-soon stopped.

We couldn't find any evidence

linking NOH to your daughter.

I knew it.

No! This isn't acceptable!

Then show me all

the investigation reports.

That's illegal, ma'am.

I'd lose my job. Your husband

would be smeared with this.

Detective,

you're voting for NOH?

If you leave NOH alone and

something happens to my girl...

I got something to do,

come along.

Ma'am, your stubbornness

will get us in trouble.

Now... look at a single dot.

Take a deep breath,

and let it out.

Psychological Research Lab

Do your eyes sting?

Take a deeper breath...

There's...

there's a white car.

There's a woman

talking to Min-jin.

Her hair is tied up

in a single knot.

She looks pretty.

She speaks Seoul dialect.

What time is this?

I don't know.

Do you see the numbers

on the license plate?

Where?

Okay, let's go back

to when you first saw the car.

It's going by too fast.

No.

It's going by slowly.

Slowly...

1... 8... G...

8... 5...

I can't see the rest.

Where is she going?

Min-jin?

To Seoul?

What will she do in Seoul?

Be a singer.

Hey, Min-jin went to Seoul?

What?

She went to Seoul

to be a singer?

Did I say that?

Was she really hypnotized?

Should we do it again?

Don't waste time with this.

I'm leaving.

Oh my.

Shut up!

Candidate 5!

NOH Jae-soon!

Candidate 5!

NOH Jae-soon!

Candidate 5!

NOH Jae-soon!

She's in here?

PARK, Campaign Manager

What was my husband's schedule

on the first night of the campaign?

He finished work

and left at 2am.

After that, I don't know.

His schedule on the

first night of the campaign?

Of course, I drove him.

Just a minute.

CHOI, Driver

Ah, it was at

the Residence Hotel.

Hotel?

He went drinking there?

With who?

I think it was Shin Sun-mi

of the New Politics Party.

Though they left separately.

I think that's right.

But ma'am...

Is your hand all right?

Why, shall I check it, ma'am?
