before it rings three times.

Three times.

I will call back tomorrow.

- Hello?

- Who is it?

Hello?

Oh, and I probably

don't need to tell you,

but if you go to

the authorities or upset me,

Sang-woo dies.

Hello? Hello!

Help me...

Dad...

Help me...

Where are you going?

Hours Missing:
8

I asked you

where you're going.

To work.

You're going to work

at a time like...

The entire country

watches our news.

I can't back out on

a commitment like that.

I'll go and get someone

to take over,

get some time off

and get a loan.

Don't worry, just trust me.

I'll call you after

I get the car phone,

so don't go anywhere.

Don't call the police, alright?

Stay calm.

How am I supposed to be calm?

Honey, let me come too.

I'm scared.

No, he might call again.

You have to pull

yourself together.

Honey...

First, let's just do

what he says.

Nothing's going to happen, okay?

Sang-woo will be fine...

I promise I'll bring him

home today.

You promise?

Promise to come home

with Sang-woo.

Of course.

Honey, I still think

we should call the...

No. Absolutely not.

He just wants money.

That's all this is.

Catching the bastard

isn't our problem.

Alright?

Just trust me.

Request for a loan

Oh, no. It's nothing to

worry about...

Well, I think she fell out

in the field.

Hours Missing:
14

Oh, that's okay.

It'll only be for two days.

I might even come back up tomorrow.

You know me.

Don't worry.

Yeah, thanks.

Don't mess up. Break a leg.

Domestic terminal

at Gimpo Airport?

How am I going to find you

if I don't know what you look like?

That's the least of

your worries.

Is there a single person in Korea

that doesn't know what you look like?

Then, what about my son?

Relax. If you do

exactly as I tell you,

I'll dock him with you safely.

Hello?

You said it's a Grandeur,

number 3699?

Are you sure

Sang-woo's father is alone?

Yes, We'll do anything you want.

Please, let me talk to Sang-woo.

Hello?

Our son looks big,

but he's very weak.

It's late now.

Has, has he eaten yet?

He says he wants

some Chinese takeout.

Oh, no. He shouldn't eat

food like that.

Are you kidding me?

Unspeakable...

No, no, sir.

Just please, let me hear

his voice. Please?

He's sound asleep

from the cold medicine.

What medicine?

Leave the engine running

and open the doors.

Open the trunk,

and turn the lights on.

Then, leave the bag there

and go home.

Remember,

you must be waiting at home.

Hello, hello?

What's going on here?

What about my son?

That's what I'd like to know.

What?

It seems maybe Sang-woo's mother

doesn't want him to live.

What?

Hello?

What are you talking about?

The phone only rings

three times.

Tell her if she doesn't

answer it even once,

she'll never see

her precious son again.

Look here,

we did everything you said!

The doors were open,

the keys and lights...

Just give us back our son.

Are you kidding me?

Didn't I tell you to

wait at home?

Look, I left the doors

open and all.

What if some random person

steals the car?

You have more important

things on hand.

Hey, you. I mean sir.

Sir, let's not do this.

Let's meet in person.

I just want my...

I'm changing the location.

Across the alley from the Daehan Cinema

is the Geukdong Theater.

Yes, yes.

Slow down to 40 kilometers

and keep it steady.

Forty? Why?

You ask too many questions.

I'm following you.

What?

Where?

Hello?

Once you arrive,

open the doors again.

What about the keys?

Just leave them?

See, you're catching on...

Go and wait at the teahouse

across the street.

Is Sang-woo with you right now?

I can't always bring him along.

But he's okay?

Why, there's no need to ask.

I'll dock him with

you right away.

Hours Missing:
23

Hello?

I see you're finally

answering the phone.

My husband.

You met him, right?

I've just arrived.

Please give him back.

Our Sang-woo.

Oh, now what should we do?

The teahouse is closed...

Pardon? The teahouse?

Anyway...

There's a chicken place

around the corner.

The alley is a little

on the narrow side.

Tell him to go there and wait.

Yeah, okay. Don't worry.

Gotta go.

Jesus, what are you doing?

Let go of me.

Is it you?

What?

Where's my son?

What are you talking about?

Where is Sang-woo?

Let go of me.

Quiet down.

I'm a cop. A cop.

Try not to blow my cover.

Why is there a cop here?

She said not to tell you,

but your wife reported

the kidnapping.

What?

I'm going to starve him,

starting from now.

You want Sang-woo to die,

don't you?

Sir, how could I ever...

Hello? Hello?

No, no... Sang-woo.

Don't starve him...

Sir, we just want our son back.

We don't need money

or anything else.

Silence. It hurts,

so don't shout.

I see many familiar faces

in front of the theater.

Shall I describe them for you?

One is overweight

and the other is of...

No, no, we don't know...

Please believe me.

Don't kill him, please.

Hello? Hello...

Hello?

Hello?

OH Ji-sun,

are you out of your mind?

Didn't I tell you

not to call the police?

Thanks to the stupid cops

there was no one at the chicken place!

What are you going to do now?

When he calls again,

set another place...

another place to meet, alright?

You got it?

Hurry up and get back

to the chicken place.

Hurry, hurry!

Bring back Sang-woo!

- Backs straight, chins up,

- What's with the scarf, jerk? Days Missing: 2

- Who the hell are you?

- Come closer.

Do it right or

I'll choke you with it,

goddamn it.

Get a move on, will you?

Are the voice analysis

results in yet?

Sir, it's only been

a couple of hours...

See, this is the f***ing problem.

What's the best shot

we've got? Huh?

Wouldn't that be

arresting him, sir?

Forensic science makes

that the voice, sir.

Yeah, that motherf***er's voice.

Yeah, that damned voice!

There have been 11 phone calls

so far and seeing

how he never goes over

two minutes,

the suspect appears to be

extremely intelligent and cunning.

We've currently identified and

are investigating six suspects.

Are you saying that

out of eleven calls,

we couldn't get a single trace?

Once, we kept him on for a while and

traced him to the Samsung Trade Center.

But that was before

the kidnapping was reported...

Right now, we have two of our men

stationed down there undercover.

You think he's an idiot?

He won't call from there again

knowing it'll be traced.

Detective.

I mean, I'm just saying.

Let's be more scientific about it.

Anyway, make sure this

doesn't get out.

We have to bring

the kid back alive.

Remember who the father is,

alright?

The nine o'clock news anchor.

Especially you, Detective KIM.

Control that foul mouth of

yours, okay?

Okay...

Two jacks fell out over there

by the entrance.

Damn it.

If only I could rush in all of them.

Days Missing:
3

Good morning, everyone.

This house is a real doozie.

A killer view.

Hello? Doozie!

What's wrong with you?

Let's run one more time.
