Maybe he really doesn't know.

F*** that.

Dude spent 16 years

with douchebag NOH.

Can't trust no one

in this lame ass city!

Girl, what's gotten into you?

No, forget it.

Help me to access

the police file on Min-jin.

I can't do that.

It's illegal to open

police files.

You spent 16 years

at NOH Jae-soon's side,

surely you know

how to do it.

Still, I can't.

Infringing personal privacy law...

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'll ask one last time.

Do you really not know who

my husband saw on that night?

No, I don't.

I really don't.

Get me Min-jin's police file.

If you ditched NOH Jae-soon

and came over to us,

you need to prove

that you're trustworthy.

Don't think life's so easy.

Campaign Manager!

I'll tail her, don't worry.

Think... think...

Screw your head on!

Think... think... think...

Screw your head on

and think!

Think...

Go back to the beginning.

Go back to the beginning.

First day of the campaign...

My husband and I

were distracted all day.

Did Min-jin like

the kimbap I made her?

Somewhere, I heard the song

she likes to sing.

Do you have proof

that he whistled?

And do you have proof

our daughter sang that song?

It's a wiretap.

I knew it!

That's how he knew her song.

Get rid of our wiretaps on NOH.

We'll use this against him.

Take them out of his office, now!

KIM Min-jin

Ten days after the disappearance

of KIM Jong-chan's daughter,

support for independent candidate

NOH Jae-soon is surging.

With KIM continuing to campaign

despite his missing daughter,

it seems unlikely he'll see

a return in his popularity.

What's in your heart?

Are you begging for salvation?

Are you begging for help?

Please save her...

Please save her...

Unworthy mother,

how can you keep your

face and neck upright?

Please save her...

Please save her...

My heart aches.

My heart aches, my child.

KIM Min-jin

Let's meet in heaven, beloved daughter

MOON Hyun-joong of the

Korea Party, Governor CHOI,

and Daesan Mayor PARK

are all present.

Other lawmakers came

together with MOON.

Independent NOH Jae-soon and

New Politics JA Chul-hee are also here.

Chairman MOON

visited the bereaved family

and urged KIM to continue

with his campaign.

What can I ever say

to comfort you?

With the missing KIM Min-jin

returning in a coffin,

the criticism directed at KIM

is transforming into

sympathy and support.

As a wave of grief

passes over the populace,

some describe her as the girl

who will save her father.

The bell is ringing.

Dingdong-dingdong.

Skirt swishing,

the crazy woman

goes out with her bouquet.

Out of the way.

10240

A pooping shooting star

falling from a green sky.

From the deep deep hole

where you are,

the sun don't shine.

Yeon-Hong.

Open the door!

- F***.

- Are you okay?

Honey!

I was scared you wouldn't

forgive me no matter what.

That day I met Shin Sun-mi

of the New Politics Party.

I know. You secured

your future over drinks.

It's over between us.

Honey,

it's not over.

It's over!

I decide if it's over or not!

We're through!

I don't give a sh*t

about politics or elections!

You killed my baby.

Honey please,

think rationally.

Think rationally?

The Campaign Manager might've

killed my girl for the sympathy vote.

Or did you hire someone,

in order to win the election?

I can't trust anyone

in this f***ed up city!

All of you in this insane city

are rotten to your core!

F*** off!

It's not just you

who lost a daughter!

What if...

What if...

she really died

because of me?

10240... 10240...

10240...

The bell is ringing.

Dingdong-dingdong.

Skirt swishing,

the crazy woman

goes out with her bouquet.

Out of the way.

A pooping shooting star

falling from a green sky.

From the deep deep hole

where you are,

the sun don't shine.

Black as black,

my meals taste worse

than your cigarettes,

my snacks,

my soul.

Did you really place

17th in the entire school?

Min-jin's grades kept going up.

It was suspicious,

but I wanted to believe.

Sinsung Girls' Middle School

Sinsung Girls' Middle School The

bell is ringing. Dingdong-dingdong.

The bell is ringing.

Dingdong-dingdong.

Exam Papers

Skirt swishing,

the crazy woman

with her bouquet.

Out of the way.

Final Exam, Math - Attachment

with her bouquet. Out of the way.

Jini and Oki,

crying their heart out

A pooping shooting star

falling from a green sky.

From the deep deep hole

where you are,

the sun don't shine,

black as black.

Teacher, can I ask

your email address?

There's something

I need to send to you.

I'm busy now, but I'll call...

That's my email address.

CHOI Mi-ok is a suspect?

The night Min-jin disappeared,

someone saw Mi-ok

all covered in blood.

Ma'am.

Mi-ok would never do

something like that.

I got it.

Thanks, teacher.

Fine, let's assume

you didn't kill her.

But if not, why is her

blood on your sneakers?

Look here... you see the black?

That's Min-jin's blood right there.

This blood and her DNA

is a match.

So don't even think

about lying.

Once, Min-jin and I

were crossing the street.

A taxi ran a red light and came

towards us, so I pushed her.

She fell over then

and skinned her knee.

Her blood got on

my shoes that day.

Ma'am!

Min-jin's skirt was so short

you could see her a**hole!

If she bled so much,

why didn't I see it?

Tell the truth, you!

Min-jin's knee really was skinned,

but we don't know when.

So please, calm down!

When was it skinned?

Ma'am.

My daughter is not a criminal.

Let's go outside.

Mr. CHOI... you're her father?

What, all of you knew?

Your daughter called

my husband sh*t!

She said her dad drives around

a big load of sh*t!

Why do you think she

said that, Detective?

You must have said

the same thing at home!

Why'd you pretend

to be so nice to us?

My daughter...

would never say that

for no reason.

I haven't done

anything for her.

She studies well on her own,

and is a nice girl.

Don't make me laugh!

She studies well?

Come outside, please!

For the past two years,

your daughter has been cheating.

Ask her.

What this exam paper is.

Get her out of here.

If you're through,

please go.

As her father, you should've

known her grades were strange!

You're fired!

Your husband really is sh*t!

My daughter would

never do that.

Hey, a**hole!

Calm down!

The illegal wiretaps in

KIM's home and office

were planted by a member

of NOH's team.

Independent candidate

NOH Jae-soon.

KIM is using unsubstantiated

claims about wiretaps

to slander me

in this campaign.

I'll stake my political life

on the truth.

After Min-jin died,

my husband's ratings went up.

The Campaign Manager

got me the police files.

Witness report,

New Town site hit-and-run

Some ways off, a girl

in a school uniform

was walking around

with no umbrella.

Looked like a ghost, I say.

What's she doing out

in the rain, I thought.

Then I saw her

covered in blood,

and smeared in dirt.

So I said,

"Whatcha doin' in the cold?"

"Whatcha doin' in the cold?"
