The money's gone.

What about our son?

Why aren't you all out

investigating?

Are you just gonna

sit here and wait?

Mr. HAN, please...

Let's try and give it a little time.

Anyway, the suspect got his money,

so he will bring Sang-woo back.

And we've got Detective KIM on it,

so everything will work out.

You're smiling at me right now?

You call that being 'on' it?

He's a f***ing hostage

that's what!

Stupid prick.

Calls himself a cop, huh?

Aren't you being too hard on him?

What did you say?

You're all waiting around

for Detective KIM?

Hurry and start a search for the car,

get out there, and inspect the traffic!

Look who's the detective now.

- Detective CHA!

- What did you say?

What are you going to do now?

Just because

it's not your child...

Imagine if he was your son!

You think you would do this then?

Like a miracle,

like hell it is!

If anything happens

to our Sang-woo,

I will never forgive you for it...

I'll kill all of you. Get out.

You too. Get out of my house.

You're all goddamn worthless!

Get out!

You're all goddamn worthless!

Get out!

Mrs. HAN. Please don't do this.

Sheesh, Kicked out

without even shoes.

What about that bum,

LEE Jae-jun?

Apparently, he was just

going to a sauna.

God, I thought we had him

But we still have our men

out there on stakeout.

What are we doing here?

By the way, what do we do

about KIM?

His radio is off

and his pager isn't working.

I think something bad

has happened to him.

Don't even think something

like that.

Let's have a little faith

in him, alright?

Don't worry. He'll show up.

God, it's cold.

Hey! Over here!

Nice and cool.

Did you get the prints

from the Grandeur?

There was nothing there, sir.

You ran over every single corner?

There isn't even a single hair?

No, sir.

He's a real thorough bastard.

Sh*t. We sure met

our match this time.

Hey, trunk detail.

Don't you remember

anything at all?

The door just opened

and this gas gun just...

God, I think my ulcers are back.

Listen up. Commissioner's orders.

No word for twenty-four hours,

and the case goes public.

Till then, watch the parents and

round up the suspects again.

But making the case public,

without even knowing

if the kid is okay

Then you should've done

a better job.

What's with the grudge toward

the boy's father?

Would you like it

if your best friend ratted you

out to the media

for his own glory?

He's a f***ing animal

inside a man's skin.

How could he be human

and do that to me?

So you served two years

and got out six months ago...

Huh. What's this?

Days Missing:

You're still up for

three grand?

Wow, you need a lot of money,

don't you?

Yes, well.

It'd be nice if I had some.

A need for revenge and

for money...

Is that why you did it?

Did what?

Where were you between

the 18th and 22nd of June?

I was flying to the country.

Gangneung.

I gave you proof, didn't I?

You're one sick little

bastard, aren't you?

You saved this to give

yourself an alibi, eh?

You're a regular Sherlock Holmes.

One lie detector test and

it'll be crystal clear.

Whatever you want.

This is just that bastard

reaping what he's sown,

just dying to climb up

that ladder...

Ut sementem feceris, ita metes.

Ut seme... Huh?

What a bastard.

Alright, then.

Let's dig this sucker up.

Next is their relationships

with acquaintances.

LEE Jae-jun has just been released

for construction conspiracies

and is being brought in for

questioning as the prime suspect.

He is on very bad terms

with HAN Kyung-bae.

You mean the friend made

the phone threats?

Does that make sense?

He knows his voice.

It... doesn't, of course...

But, would the voice

really matter that much?

What matters is

this strong motive...

Well, our scientific analysis

shows that

the voiceprint doesn't

match up 100%.

Come on. He could've gotten

someone else to call.

LEE Jae-jun could have a partner.

We're still investigating that.

Forensics is all fine

and dandy, but still...

You have to follow

your instincts, right?

Is that how a cop got kidnapped?

Instincts?

Come on Mr. HAN.

What is this?

Just hold on, Sang-woo...

Don't get scared.

Take it like a man.

Keep it cool, son.

Cool and strong.

No, no.

Don't try to be tough

and just beg the man.

Beg him to let you go, boy.

Beg him to let you live.

Beg him to let you live!

Beg him to let you live!

Superman,

the mighty prince of bravery.

Batman and Robin,

soldiers of justice.

Wonder Woman,

soaring through the sky.

Aquaman,

the prince of the sea.

Dad, your shoulders are so tense.

Does that feel better?

This is a bonus.

I won't take the coupon.

Feel good?

Ever seen a son like me?

No, of course not.

My son is the best...

- Hello? Hello?

- How have you been?

Did you get the car?

Hello. Where's Sang-woo?

You said you'd let him go.

You have the money.

Are you joking?

I told you not to report it.

Putting your trust

in the stupid cops...

It's tragic how things didn't go

according to your brilliant plans...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir.

I'll give you more.

I'll even sell the house.

Please just give us back our son.

Your fatherly love is

quite impressive.

Are all well-off fathers

as devoted as you?

Anyway...

Seeing as to how desperate you are,

I will give you one last chance.

What? A chance?

You think you're gonna get away

with this?

Hello? Hello,

hello?

You sick little motherf***er...

What the hell do you want from me?

Who the f*** are you?

Hello?

I'm so sorry, sir.

I made a huge mistake.

I'll give you more.

Another hundred grand.

Just let me hear

Sang-woo's voice once.

Life often demands servility, doesn't it?

The all-mighty anchorman,

HAN Kyung-bae...

Wait.

Dad, help me...

Sang-woo, Sang-woo, it's Dad.

- Hello? Sang-woo.

- You still have a hundred grand left.

This is your last chance.

Yes, thank you. Thank you.

I'll give you everything.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

He's alive. My little boy.

Hold on. Daddy will.

Daddy will come and save you.

Just hold on...

Believe in God and go to Heaven!

HAN In-su

Doozie.

Why didn't I think of

this before?

One more time.

Knock, and it will open.

Ten years of trunk stakeouts and

now I've reached goddamn Nirvana.

Long time no see.

How you been?

Hey, what about

the free dumplings?

What? Lao Xiao?

When I think back,

I didn't have a gun in my hand,

but I still killed

a lot of people.

Who do you think you are?

they'd say,

and back then,

I thought I was God.

There was nothing that

I couldn't do.

I thought life was supposed to

be like that.

Pure glory.

But it was all in vain. All fake.

In the end, this is

what I've become...

God is punishing me.

I have to admit,

that family motto about

glory was a little over the top...

I hated all you cops because you

sit around helplessly and wait.

So I kept putting you

down on purpose.

Well, to be honest, it's not like
