Please, don't kill my son.

Please.

Seeing as to how desperate you are,

I'll give you one last chance.

So, let's start again

on a new day, shall we?

Just hold on, Sang-woo...

Take it like a man.

Don't get scared

and keep it cool...

No, no. No.

Beg him to let you live.

Beg him to let you live.

License plate 4954, 4954.

Please move your car.

Hey, you! You can't jaywalk here!

Go to the sidewalk.

Get out of the way, please.

Out of the way,

get out of the way!

God. Please...

Just once...

Our Father, who art in heaven,

God, just once.

Please, just this once.

Sang-woo, Sang-woo!

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us...

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil!

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sang-woo.

Sang-woo,

Sang-woo, Sang-woo.

Sang-woo, it's Dad.

Let's go home.

Sang-woo, Sang-woo.

Sang-woo, Sang-woo...

Let's go home

It's dad. Sang-woo.

Sang-woo. Sang-woo.

Sang-woo.

Sang-woo, it's okay, son.

We have to go home now,

Sang-woo.

Daddy's here now, son.

Let's go home.

Sang-woo, I'm here.

Dad's here.

August 1st, 1991

Days Missing:
44

Goddamn it.

Sang-woo is crying.

HAN Sang-woo's body is discovered

after 44 days of kidnapping.

Died of suffocation

the day after the kidnapping.

Don't.

It's scary.

When Sang-woo comes...

When he comes, it'll scare him.

Turn it on.

Ji-sun.

Ji-sun, let's...

Don't do this.

Ji-sun, let's have another child.

Sang-woo won't...

I said, don't.

You thought you were so smart,

acting all high and mighty...

You said I should trust you.

And now, what?

Let's have another child?

Sure, go ahead.

Go ahead! Let's!

Honey, that's not it.

Honey. Sang-woo isn't...

If that's not it, then what?

What about our Sang-woo.

All I need is Sang-woo.

So hurry and go and

bring Sang-woo back. Now!

Bring him home, our Sang-woo.

It's all worthless.

I don't need you

and I don't need God.

Sang-woo, Sang-woo...

Detective CHOI,

I said to pack the tools first.

In the beginning,

I should've just sold the house

and given him all the money.

You know what I regret the most?

The thing...

The thing that's eating me up

inside...

I called myself a dad and I did nothing.

I couldn't even play with him.

I thought all I had to do was

to bring him into the world.

I can't remember a thing.

Not one thing.

My boy...

He must have needed me so much...

I'm gonna quit.

I mean, I didn't even catch him.

There's nothing I can do.

Nothing.

I just feel so helpless.

Like such a fool. A fool...

You said I should do right

while I still can...

and I want to.

While he's here.

I'm sorry.

Get a grip, man.

What's with you? Like you're

about to die or something.

There's a saying.

I heard it from somewhere.

'Heaven and hell all

exist in this life.'

You have to stay alive to catch him

and get revenge, right?

I thought you would need this.

Record Tape (No. 144 Sang-woo)

Sir, are you sure you're alright?

You must be devastated...

We were all so worried about you.

You're face is so wan.

Viewers will barely recognize you.

It's okay. I was on a diet.

Alright, everyone standby please.

Good evening, everyone.

It feels good to be back.

DBC News at nine o'clock on Thursday,

August 8th, will begin.

First up tonight.

The body of a nine-year-old boy was

found at the bank of the Han River,

from a local playground.

PARK Jin-oh reports.

I'm here in Banpo, where the dead body

of nine-year-old

HAN Sang-woo was found.

He was found with his arms

and legs bound with a clothesline,

his mouth taped shut,

and his body was frozen.

The presumption is that

he was suffocated, possibly one day

after he was kidnapped.

To the family that waited

for 44 days of pain,

news of the child's death was

an unanticipated blow to the heart.

The school HAN Sang-woo had studied

and played at is also in deep shock.

I hope they catch the man

that killed Sang-woo.

Sang-woo.

Although the police conducted

a secret investigation,

they still have no clues as

to the identity of the criminal.

The police must determine what,

and who, caused a young,

hopeful boy to return home

in a body bag

after these 44 days of terror.

- Director HAN, we've got 3 seconds.

- This is PARK Jin-oh, DBC News.

Yes, the truly unspeakable...

has happened once again.

The killer made over eighty-seven

threatening phone calls

to the victim's family

and extorted them for

two hundred thousand dollars.

Despite these efforts,

in the end...

No, don't cry.

Sang-woo didn't make it home...

Don't cry.

and his lifeless body

was discovered...

near the Han River Park.

You can't cry, honey.

Don't cry...

Sang-woo, I'm sorry.

Dad's...

Ladies and gentleman,

I apologize...

- No, no, this is a disaster.

- Cut him off!

- Camera one, standby.

- VCR is ready to go.

Sir, what should we...

Should we cut and turn to Ms. HA?

No, no. Leave it.

I'll take the responsibility.

Let's see this through.

Yes, sir.

Sang-woo...

was my son.

I, I went through life believing...

these things only happen to

other people.

I'm sorry.

All the viewers out there,

please help me just this once.

Ladies and gentleman.

The recording I'm going to play,

listen carefully to this voice.

Sang-woo is gone, but the monster

that took his life...

is shamelessly breathing,

living beside you. Among us...

You listen to me very carefully.

There is no such thing

as a perfect crime.

I will hunt you down...

to the ends of this earth...

and I will catch you.

No matter what it takes.

Sang-woo...

Sang-woo...

Ladies and gentleman, please.

Please, please listen closely...

The voice that you are listening to

is the voice of

Hello?

the actual killer, recorded in 1991.

Please listen very carefully.

I gave him pills because he was

coming down with a cold,

and he's sleeping now.

Anyway...

Please open the back seat once

and leave the inside lights on.

The back seats.

Leave the door open,

and leave the trunk open.

Then, you can go into

the bakery and wait there.

You need to leave the keys inside.

- The killer is believed to be a male,

- Open the trunk.

- with an average build, approximately

- Open it up all the way. And then close it,

- ...and speaks with a Seoul and Gyeonggi Province dialect.

- then come straight to the domestic

terminal at the airport.

- He was believed to be in his early to mid-thirties...

- You have very little devotion to your child.

- ...at the time of the crime (1991).

- Someone was sitting in the back seat.

I'm telling you, there was someone

in the back seat.

Ma'am, then you will have

to come yourself.

To be honest, I just don't

trust your husband.

You need to understand this.

And don't bring other

people into this.

- The 1991 kidnapping and murder of Lee Hyung-ho.

- What is your decision?

- More than 100,000 members

of the police force have been...

- You know that this isn't what is best for Hyung-ho?

- ...assigned to this case over the course
