Geez, that scared me.

Guys, did you…
Did you see a guy…
on a motorcycle around here
with a black helmet on?

Hello?
Hel…
Where are you right now, sir?
Hello?
I thought we had an agreement!
Where the hell are you?
[driver] Mr. Kang?
What did I just see in those bags?
What?
The money.
Are you kidding me?
Here's your 80 million won, as requested.
Look, I have a favor to ask.
[driver] Mr. Kang,
is this some kind of joke?
No, it's not what you think.
I wanted to give you the full amount,
but it's just…
I was running out of time,
and I got desperate.
I'm so sorry.
You're sorry?
NEO SEON YEONGJIN MEDICAL FOUNDATION
You're saying you're sorry
after deceiving me like this?
Mr. Kang, why are you trying
to pull a fast one on me?
Do you know how disappointed I am?
I trusted you with all my heart,
and you betray me like this?
I'm going to your wife now.
I'm so angry and upset right now…
that I'm going to shred her to pieces.
THE HUSBAND
[lecturer through earbuds] When the heart
rate drops to 40 bpm or lower,
one may experience lightheadedness,
syncope, or loss of consciousness.
-However, ironically enough…
-[sighs]
…the heart fights to keep beating
until the very end.
While chest pain is the most common
early symptom of a myocardial infarction,
women and diabetics
may display atypical symptoms
such as shortness of breath,
indigestion, or severe fatigue.
Moreover, around 20 to 30%
of patients experience
myocardial infarctions
without any early signs.
So, for an accurate diagnosis, they must…
You didn't have to do that.
Oh.
Hey, you got a minute?
Thanks for the drink.
You're all by yourself again.
Why are you always alone?
You study alone, eat alone,
drink coffee alone…
-It's just comfortable.
-Mmm.
Are you just used to being alone?
Or do you have to be alone
to feel comfortable?
I'll see you around, Taeju.
Hold on.
How do you know my name?
KANG TAEJU
[sighs]
[romantic music playing]
[lecturer] Heart rate.
When resting, the human heart beats
around 60 to 100 times per minute.
This is called the resting heart rate.
However, the heart rate may
exceed 100 bpm and remain elevated,
even without any physical activity
or external stimulus.
This is called tachycardia.
On the other hand,
when the heart rate is 60 bpm or lower,
it's called bradycardia.
Both can be signs
of underlying conditions,
including cardiac disorders,
such as arrhythmia or thyroid dysfunction,
so one must be wary of both symptoms.
That said, what is the most common
physical symptom a patient notices
when their heart beats at an abnormal rate
due to tachycardia or bradycardia?
[lecturer] Well…
their heart races.
I'm sharing your umbrella.
How have you been?
What's been going on with you?
What do you mean?
Where have you been for the past few days?
Why do you ask?
I mean, you know.
I was used to seeing you around every day.
So it got me wondering.
Oh. [giggles]
I was stuck at home with the flu for days.
I actually thought I was going to die.
Flu?
So that's what it was.
-Are you better now?
-Yeah, much better.
Were you worried about me?
I was pretty worried about you.
What?
As I was lying in bed,
all I could think about was,
"I bet he's feeling lonely."
Why would you think that?
Well, I assumed you'd be studying alone,
eating alone,
drinking coffee alone, as always.
But I wasn't around.
I thought that'd make you more lonely.
[soft music playing]
From the looks of it, I guess I was right.
Thank you.
For what?
You know, for looking out for me, I guess.
I wouldn't call it that.
I don't know. Mmm.
I guess you keep getting to me.
So weird, right?
What do you mean?
How we're on each other's minds.
And we barely know each other.
I think it's weird.
I don't get why I think about you so much.
About how you're always alone,
how you're always eating alone…
But mostly, I keep thinking
how lonely you'd be when I'm not around.
I don't want to think
about any of that anymore.
Will you be my boyfriend?
[driver] I'm going to your wife now.
I'm so angry and upset right now
that I'm going to shred her to pieces.
-W-Wait, sir. Just…
-[phone beeps]
INCOMING CALL
FATHER-IN-LAW
H-Hey! Wait. Wait a minute, sir.
Look, I wasn't able
to reach my father-in-law,
but he's calling me back right now.
I can actually get you the money you want.
I promise. I swear.
Are you kidding?
You want another chance?
I mean, have you no shame at all?
I've given you so many chances already.
You want another one?
Yes, please j-just once.
Give me a chance
to make up for what I've done.
Don't do this, boss.
No, please, wait. Please, sir! Just once!
Please, just give me
one last chance, okay?
Geez, you're making this so hard.
You know, once at my old job,
I made a few mistakes that
I could've been fired over, but I wasn't.
Later, I asked the boss
why he didn't fire me,
and he said…
"Look, man."
"Everyone deserves at least three chances
to be the best version of themselves."
And it's not like harming your wife
will make me feel any better.
So, Mr. Kang?
This really is your last chance.
Right, sir.
I appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm giving you a chance,
but there will be compensation
for you breaking my heart, right?
Yes. Of course there will be.
Two billion won.
Pardon?
Two billion.
Geez, is the line bad or something?
No.
I heard you. Two billion won.
I'll give you two hours,
but if you go back on your word,
try to call the cops,
or disappoint me with another dumb stunt…
I assure you,
you will pay for it dearly.
This is your last chance. Don't blow it.
[line disconnects]
[stuttering] Hello?
[line ringing]
Yes, Father.
We need to talk. It's about Seyun.
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts, breathes heavily]
Huh?

-Are you okay, Mother?
-[gasps]
[hisses]
How dare he do this to my daughter!
Despicable piece of shit.
I swear to God, I'll rip him to pieces!
-[grunts]
-[sighs]
[panting] This can't be happening.
Kidnapping?
Blackmail?
[gasps]
How could this
be happening to my daughter?
But why?
Is this all he sent?
[Seyun's mother groans]
[groans]
You got nothing else?
UNKNOWN NUMBER

[rings]
[Dr. Ko] Two billion won in two hours…
Did he demand anything else?
He said he'd hurt Seyun
if we went to the police.
We can't get them involved,
no matter what.
[grunts]
How much time do we have left?
Oh, uh, we've got around
an hour and 25 minutes.
[gasps]
We have to hurry.
I'll make calls to banks.
You take the car and pick up the money.
He may come after the money again,
so you go with him.
Oh, yes. Of course.
Okay, we'll be back.
-Wait, honey. Just a sec.
-Huh?
[whispers] Come here for a minute.
[whispering indistinctly]
I'll ask them to arrange that.
[whispering continues]
[whispers] Got it.
-Yes, hello? Is this the bank manager?
-We'll take my car.
Father, I have to tell you something.
-The thing is--
-It's you.
This is your fault, isn't it?
What is?
This has to be happening because of you.
What are you… What do you mean by that?
Seyun isn't the type
to go around making enemies.
You were probably acting all arrogant
and crossed the wrong person. Am I right?
You were like that in the past too.
You don't care about anything else
when you think you're right.
You can't have changed.
[sighs]
Well, say something!
I'm asking you
if that's why this is happening!
Damn it!
-[tires screech]
-[Dr. Ko] That piece of…
[horn honks]
Crazy bastard.
Give me a break.
Seriously…

Come on…

CHOI HYEONSU
NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
[ominous music playing]
[officer] How are you?
I'm Jang Dosik, Captain
of Major Crimes Unit 1 at Seongjin Police.
I've got a few questions for you.
We don't have much time,
so if you don't mind.
So the kidnapper got in your car,
pretending to be your designated driver,
at around 1:30 a.m.
I feel like I made the call a second ago.
You got here so quickly.
[driver] Well, I just happened to be
in the area, so I got here fast.
I guess today's just my lucky day.
[Dosik] Remember what the culprit
looked like?
Any scars, tattoos, or anything
we could use to identify him?
No, nothing really comes to mind.
[Dosik] And you didn't recognize
his voice either?
[Taeju] Hello?
[driver] Mr. Kang Taeju?
Yes, speaking. Who's this?
I'm the driver
who drove you to your house.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Well, early this morning, sir.
I'd never heard his voice before.
And his face…
I don't really remember
what he looks like either.
-Choi.
-Yes, sir?
Secure the security footage
around the area.
[Hyeonsu] I'm on it.
[Dosik] The kidnapper could call
any minute now.
We'll be tracking his location
in real time,
so try to drag it out as much as possible.
Culprits like him
like to feel like they're in charge,
so try not to provoke him in any way.
-[Taeju] Okay.
-As for you two,
never interfere or get worked up.
If he catches on,
it'll put your daughter in danger.
[both sigh]
Understood.
[Dosik] I appreciate your cooperation.
Why did you call the police?
I told you it would put Seyun in danger.
I thought I'd made that clear.
What, are we supposed to listen
to whatever this guy says?
Of course he tells you not to call them.
He doesn't want to get caught.
You don't understand.
This guy is extremely dangerous.
That's why we called the police.
You're not getting it. This guy…
He's completely insane.
He's a total psycho.
All the more reason we need the police.
We can't deal with him on our own.
No, you don't get it!
[gasps]
You're just putting Seyun
in more danger right now!
You will not speak to my wife that way!
She's my own daughter.
You got that?
I'm the one
who's the most desperate to get her back!
Listen, Taeju.
You've been in the palm of his hand,
so you aren't thinking straight.
This is where you have to
let us handle things.
And don't get in the way!
You have no idea what this guy's like.
You just don't know
because you haven't dealt with him.
Sir? I know this is tough,
but you need to stay calm.
Okay?
Yeah.

Please let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Hey!
[sobbing]
[person] Are you okay?
Are you hurt at all?
Who's there?
[person] I bet you're pretty confused.
Who the hell are you?
What do you want?
[person] Don't make loud noises.
You'll be in trouble.
-What the hell are you saying?
-[person shushes]
Be quiet! You'll get us both in trouble.
Huh?
[metal scraping]
Hey.
Excuse me, what did you just say?
[person] We'll get in trouble
with the guy who locked us up here.
Are you locked up against your will too?
[person sobbing]
Hey, how long
have you been locked up in here?
[person] There's no time.
I'm running out of time.
What does that mean?
[person] When the girl in the red hood
gets swallowed by the snow…
[crying] By the pale white snow…
It's all over for me.
It's over.
Hey.
[person crying] Once she's completely
swallowed, I'll be done for.
[Seyun sighs]
[sniffles]
He might video call you again,
so you'll sit here alone.
-Hey, Park.
-Yes, sir.
We'll be monitoring in real-time,
so just try to focus on the call.
And try to drag it out
as long as possible.
I know you're nervous,
but your wife's life is on the line.
You have to keep it together, all right?
-Yeah.
-Two minutes left.
-Oh, take them to their room.
-[Park] On it.
This way.
Let's just focus on saving Seyun.
-Okay?
-[Dr. Ko sighs]
Don't mess this up.
Yes, sir.

Oh, I'm at my in-laws' house right now.

[whispering] He's in Mangok-dong.
-Send the squad over to Mangok-dong.
-[Hyeonsu] Copy that.
[sighs]

-Huh?
What's going on?
Something's wrong.
It says he's in Useong-dong now.
You said Mangok-dong.
He's moving again.
-He's in Jonghaeng-dong.
-What the hell are you talking about?
He's bouncing the signal
with some kind of hacking tool.
Well, do something about it!
Hello?
Anybody else at home?
No, I'm here on my own.
So you're the only one
on the line right now?
[Taeju] Yes, that's right.
So you're saying…
I can say whatever I want,
since it's just you and me, right?
Yeah, I'd say so.
But first, don't you want to see the cash?
Mr. Kang.
Take a look. It's all here.
No messing around this time.
I got it all in cash right…
Mr. Kang Taeju!
-Yeah.
-[driver panting]
Switch to the back camera for me.
But why?
Just switch it for me, all right?
There you go.
We're going to go through every nook
and cranny in the house.
Do as I tell you.
Okay, right there.
Pan from left to right.
Okay.
What are you doing? Just do it.
Okay, panning from left to right.
And the other way.
[object thuds]
Stop.
What was that noise?
What? I didn't hear anything.
Did you not hear that noise?
No, I didn't.
Oh, is that so?
Turn it to your right.
Okay.
That's your left, boss.
Your right is toward the kitchen,
where the noise came from.
[whispers] Oh dear…
Keep pointing it that way
and walk toward it.
Okay, got it.
Stop.
Mr. Kang.
Now, turn to your right.
I said, turn around.
[door opens]
-Good Lord. I can't stand this anymore.
-Honey.
[Dr. Ko] Look, kid. Are you trying
to get my daughter back or not?
[Seyun's mother] Honey, don't do this.
We said we'd let him handle it.
[Dr. Ko] Quiet!
-Give me that phone.
-[sighs]
This is Seyun's father.
-The girl you took away.
-[whispering]
I was going to hand
my son-in-law the money
and stay quiet in the other room,
but I can't trust him with this anymore.
So from now on, you can talk to me.
[driver] Put him back on.
Trust me, young man.
It'd be much easier if you talked to me.
This deal is between Mr. Kang and me,
and he's the only one I'll speak to.
Well, it's my daughter and my money!
I'd listen if I were you.
You can talk to me, all right?
[exhales] Hey, old man!
What? "Old man"?
I said put Mr. Kang back on.
You little… Look here, punk!
I get that you're a criminal,
but show some respect!
How dare you!
What the hell…
Have you lost your mind, pops?
What did you call me?
You little… How dare you!
Uh, sir? Why don't you talk to me?
What do you want, lady?
Fine, go on if you want
your precious daughter to die…
[Seyun's mother]
Here's an extra billion won.
If you let my daughter go,
you can have this
on top of the original two billion.
That's three billion won in total.
Hold on, so if I bring you
your daughter right now,
you'll give me three billion won?
Yeah, that's right.
But we want her back within an hour.
After an hour,
I'm taking off 100 million
every five minutes.
No.
So what you're saying is,
if I just bring you your daughter
within the hour,
that three billion won can all be mine?
The final amount will
depend on what you decide to do.
Uh… One hour, three billion?
[inhales sharply]
I'll be in touch within an hour.
I hope you keep your promise, ma'am.
It's currently 4:15 p.m.
One hour, for three billion.
Keep that in mind.

-I got it…
Ah, ah, uh.
Yes. sir. It's me again. Please go on.
Listen.
You just had to give me
the money you promised, simple as that.
Right.
Why do you keep making it so complicated?
I made this clear.
I said…
[sighs] I said I'd only talk to you,
but you put those fossils
in charge of the situation.
[sobbing] We're sorry.
I-I'm sorry. I really am.
I said I hate it
when people make things complicated.
And I told you not to call the cops,
but you got not one,
not two, but four pigs
in the house and lied about it.
-He's watching us.
-[driver] Why are you doing this to me?
He might have an accomplice.
-Go look outside.
-I'm on it.
-I'm sorry, it's all my fault!
-Oh, God.
Did you really think
you could fool me that easily?
No, it's not like that.
This is just a misunderstanding.
My wife's parents called the cops
out of desperation
because they had no idea
about the situation. I had no choice!
-Yes. We're sorry.
-Excuses.
Stupid excuses! I'm sick and tired of it!
I just trusted you
and did exactly what you asked me to do.
So why are you doing this to me?
I'm getting nothing but bullshit from you.
You just couldn't
bring yourself to pay me?
Is that why you're doing this?
No. Not at all.
Absolutely nothing like that.
Listen to me.
You're going to pay
for disappointing me until the end.
-No! You can't!
-No!
-No!
-Seyun! No!
You didn't keep up
your end of the deal, boss.
And now, your wife's going to die.
-No, please.
-Hey, Kang Taeju.
This is on you.

Yes, sir.

"What you asked me to do"?

What the hell are you doing?
We just got a tip.
What tip?
So I said we should get divorced.
But she said she didn't want to.
Well, she said she'd never do it.
[driver] Why's that?
Because it's what I want.
She doesn't want to
give me anything I want.
[driver] I just trusted you…
-[phone buzzing]
-…and did exactly what you asked me to do.
Yeah, talk.
What?
[driver] Good afternoon,
I have a tip about a renowned neurosurgeon
soliciting the murder of his own wife.
[Taeju] She doesn't want to
give me anything I want.
Wait, isn't that your voice?
[Taeju] I'm out of options now.
[sighs] Taeju, what am I hearing?
[Taeju] Anyway, that being said…
I want you to get rid of my wife.
[driver] What did you say?
[Taeju] Get rid of my wife.
I'll pay you, okay?
I'll pay you 300… No.
-I'll pay you 500 million won.
-[Dr. Ko gasps]
So please.
Father, it's not what it looks like.
-I can explain everything. Believe me!
-Take him.
-Come on.
-What's going on?
Say something!
-Father, I can explain everything!
-Get moving!
You bastard!
-Take him to the station.
-Got it.

SEONGJIN POLICE STATION
TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR THE PEOPLE
[thud]
[Dosik] Mr. Kang.
How do you know the kidnapper?
I don't know him.
He showed up when I called for a driver.
So you solicited
a complete stranger to murder your wife?
I never solicited anything.
[Taeju through laptop]
I want you to get rid of my wife.
[driver] What? What did you say?
[Taeju] Get rid of my wife.
I'll pay you, okay?
-I'll pay you 300… No.
-So what did you mean by that?
I'll pay you 500 million won.
-So please.
-Well… [sighs]
I was drunk out of my mind at that time.
Honestly, I don't really remember.
And I don't know why I said that.
You know where Ms. Ko is, don't you?
Is she with your accomplice?
-[sighs]
-Mr. Kang Taeju.
Mr. Kang, where's your accomplice?
[stammers, sighs]
I really don't know.
I didn't put him up to it.
Tell us. You know where she is!
I said I don't know!
The… Yes, the tip you got.
I'm sure it's from him.
You can just track the IP or something.
IP says that email
came from Nanning, China.
You didn't see this coming, did you?
Your accomplice…
He's way more dangerous than you think.
You're going to end up
taking the fall alone.
Like I told you, I have no idea.
Don't do this, man.
Just be honest.
Where's Ms. Ko?
I don't know.
Just how many times do I have to tell you?
You're losing time here!
Do you have any idea
what a waste of time this is?
This guy is a psycho!
My wife is in danger!
Calm down, Mr. Kang.
I'm serious!
There's no time to be screwing around!
-[Dosik] Mr. Kang!
-[grunts]
[groans, grunting]
Calm now?
[person] Hey, say something.
Don't leave me here all by myself.
Wash your face off.
And freshen up a little.
That one doesn't work.
Use the next one.
What the hell?
Man, it's about time
they fix this place up.
Nothing works in here.
[phone buzzing]
Oh, hey, Captain Kim.
Yeah. [laughing] It's been too long.
Oh, that? Yeah, it was really helpful.
Take your time, okay?
Right, I was going to come and see you.
[laughing]
Damn it.
[sighs]
[officers grumbling]
-What the hell, man?
-[officer] Hey, come over here!
What's that? No, not you.
SEONGJIN POLICE STATION
I don't have time to waste here.
I didn't do it, but everyone thinks I did.
No one believes me.
[stranger] Who would?
No one believes you.
Why would anyone believe you, Mr. Kang?
Who are you?
What do you want?
[shushes]
I said, who are you?
I'm the only one who knows
you didn't plot your wife's death.
What?

to arrive, allowing the suspect to escape.
How's my brother the suspect
when his wife's been kidnapped?
It wasn't you, was it?
[Taeju] Seyun will be in more danger
if I stay at the station.
-Stay away!
-[screams]
[officer] Visual on suspect vehicle.
Requesting backup.
[driver] This is how much time
you have left.
