Episode 7
1
What's the hold-up?
God, look at the time.
The number you've called isn't available.
You'll be directed to--
AN YUN-SU (HOME)
She's been on the phone for so long.
All right, I'm going.
You can't just jump out of nowhere
when it's a red light.
Especially dressed in black.
Oh my, are you all right?
Oh dear.
Hey.
Wait, you can't just leave!
Hey! Are you sure you're all right?
Oh man!
What's she up to?
Ms. An!
Ms. An!
Ms. An!
Ms. An!
Hi, this is Bae Sun-deok.
I've just arrived at Ms. An's house.
Her cellphone is inside,
but I don't see her.
Yeah.
Please call the police for now.
When they get here,
we'll pick the lock and enter.
I'm not sure.
For now,
I just hope she's in there.
You're here.
Oh, Ms. An is at home.
Yes, I'm with her right now.
There's no need to call the police.
I dozed off in the bath.
I haven't had one since the ankle monitor.
Since it was broken,
I was going to take a short bath.
- Ms. An.
- But I fell asleep.
- I jolted awake at the banging sound.
- Ms. An?
You're bleeding.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Go put on a bandage.
Clean yourself up a bit too.
But I'm fine.
No, it looks sore. Go on.
I'll be back in a minute.
Do you need some help?
No.
It's okay.
Oh, Sop did that.
I guess she didn't like the look of it.
I wish they didn't know
about grown-up stuff,
but somehow they always do, don't they?
Tell me about it.
It's very dark out by the back door.
And it's not even locked.
Will you be okay?
The outdoor light is missing a bulb.
You saw it?
That's why I went out.
My bike skidded in the rain
on my way back from the hardware store,
shattering the bulb.
You rode your bike in this weather?
Yes. There's nowhere to park there.
Ms. An!
Ms. An!
I'm sorry for the trouble,
especially in this rain.
If there's an emergency,
call us right away like you did today.
Yes, I will.
Take care of your injuries and rest up.
See you later.
Okay, thanks. See you.
- No need to see me out.
- Okay.
Good.
- You should go back inside.
- It's okay.
You should get inside. It's slippery.
- Seriously, go back inside.
- I'll just see you off.
Okay, get inside. I'm off now.
My God, this rain

This is mail for you.
The seal is dated yesterday.
I brought it over as soon as I got it.
May I ask what the photo is of?
Ms. Mo.
If I'm allowed to take a look
Ms. Mo!
Inmate 407, what are you doing?
Spit it out.
What was it?
What the hell was it?
The visitation is over.
Why is it so hard to get ahold of you?
Sop wants to eat with her mom.
I'm making jjajangbap, so hurry on over.
Although COVID-19 has been
somewhat contained,
hospitals remain crowded with patients.
With temperatures dropping,
respiratory illnesses like the flu
and the cold have been on the rise,
prompting medical centers
to tighten their preventive measures.
The indoor mask rule is still
Please don't kill me
Die.
You must die for us to live.
Ow, that's hot!
All right, come on.
Pass it along like this.
It looks fantastic!
Clean it.
Going down. Doors closing.
Arms out.
Arms down.
Too bad it's already twelve o'clock
What to do? It's already twelve o'clock
Sounds like an initiation.
- That's so cute!
- I don't want to let you go
I want to whisper my love to you
In tune with the music
This is the newbie taking Pudgy's place.
Say hello.
She's the real boss around here.
Hello.
I'm Gu Hui-yeong.
She was sent here because juvie was full.
She's charged with running
an online gambling website.
Man, this kid's already got
such exceptional skills.
So jealous for real.
Actually
Why did you stop? Keep going.
- All right.
- Keep going.
They can keep singing, can't they?
It's not disruptive.
- Okay, she's cool.
- One, two.
Two, three.
Too bad it's already twelve o'clock
What to do? It's already twelve o'clock
I don't want to let you go
I know, how you feel it
I want to whisper my love to you
In tune with the music
I know we're both feeling the same
She's good.
You're really
dead.
I know, right?
That gal really knocks you dead.
For fuck's sake.
The new girl's trying so hard.
Give her a little applause, will you?
She's getting embarrassed!
I see.
I don't like
kids her age.
You don't?
Fair enough.
- Come here.
- Yes?
Sit your ass down here.
Fucking listen carefully.
You tried, so here's some advice.
- Okay?
- Okay.
From now on, stay right next to that lady.
Then no bitch will lay a finger on you.
Got it?
- Yes.
- Good. Get up.
I said get up, you brat.
Move it.
I'M LEAVING
I WON'T RETURN IF YOU LOOK FOR ME
Is there a reason
you don't think he ran away?
Please come this way.
This text isn't from my grandson.
The tone, spelling,
and spacing aren't his style.
What about his friends
from his old school?
He could be with them.
Maybe they went far away for some air or--
He's no longer
in touch with those friends.
Then, by any chance,
have you checked the house
Se-hun used to live in?
His parents died there
with their bodies contorted.
He was too scared to even go near it.
No way would he be there.
I don't think
Se-hun had any close friends.
He had lunch by himself
and always slept through classes.
And you always came
to pick him up after school.
- I see. Thanks.
- No problem.
He hardly ever showed up to class.
He came a few times at first,
but these days,
he just checks in and leaves.
When the kids found out
that the Witch killed his parents,
no one really talked to him anymore.
The last text message was sent
from near a large supermarket
in Deogi-dong, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang City.
And his phone was turned off
in Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
It looks like he has left Ilsan.
It seems like
his grandfather had a tight leash on him.
So based on circumstances alone,
it appears to be a simple runaway, but
Look into Ko Se-hun's background.
Who his friends are,
what he does when alone,
whether he talks to anyone
through online chat,
and what games he plays. Everything.
So you also think he's gone missing.
I'll look into it and get back to you.
Okay.
Can I
sit here?
I heard we've got a little brat now.
Here you are.
Hello, ma'am. I'm Gu Hui-yeong.
- Shush.
- Forget the damn intro.
You'll vanish without a trace
if you hang around that chick.
I'm sorry?
She'll eat you alive.
You could go to sleep one night
and never wake up again.
Get it?
Yes.
Let's go.
Come on, you little brat.
That doesn't sound so bad.
Excuse me, would I be able to meet
with Officer Bae Sun-deok?
One moment, please. Oh, ma'am.
This is
Hello.
How's An Yun-su doing these days?
Sorry?
You can just share what you can.
Are her sessions going well?
Well,
she was silent
throughout the entire session.
But that kind of attitude
won't do her any favors.
Yes, I told her.
I asked if she was okay for it
to be reported to the court as it was.
She said yes.
She
seemed a little anxious.
Here in my office and even in her home.
She's like that whenever I see her.
Could you possibly tell me
where she's been over the past three days?
I see.
I can tell you what I personally think,
but I can't share her records
without following procedure.
You know that, sir.
I sure do.
I also know
that procedure never gets done in time.
Is there some kind of problem
concerning An Yun-su?
There was a problem
from the moment parole was granted.
Right.
GYEONGGI BUKBU PROBATION OFFICE
Oh wow. Look at this.
It's a girl though.
Thanks anyway.
ANKLE MONITOR MALFUNCTION REPORT RECEIVED
There wasn't anything in particular
that could've been a problem.
No, there wasn't.
GRANDPA, I'M LEAVING
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE ME
TO HAGWON ANYMORE
I WON'T RETURN IF YOU LOOK FOR ME
LOOKING FOR A MISSING TEENAGER!
- Die.
- Please don't kill me.
I'm sorry.
Today, a teenager was reported missing
to Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police.
The case was deemed too serious
to be considered a simple runaway,
so the police have requested
that it be made public through the media.
The missing teenager
has been identified as Ko Se-hun,
the son of the dentist couple
who were brutally murdered
four months ago.
Given the gravity of the case, the police
have launched an immediate investigation
and are currently reviewing
the CCTV footage
of where Ko was last seen.
This is a recording of Ko Se-hun
in a hagwon district
at 5:00 p.m. last Friday.
He hasn't been seen
since he suddenly left
in the middle of a class.
His grandfather, who filed the report,
claimed that the text message
Ko sent was out of character.
Unlike his usual calm and clear tone,
the message was inconsistent and rushed.
His grandfather knew
it was more than a simple disappearance
and immediately reported it to the police.
Fucking bastard.
I hope you drop dead somewhere.
One, two
Is it three?
No.
MISSING TEENAGER CASE
MURDERED PARENTS, NOW MISSING SON?
HEATED DEBATE OVER KO'S DISAPPEARANCE
Inmate 407, come get your meds.
Confirmed.
Did you see the news?
Their kid has gone missing.
Do you seriously not feel anything?
What am I supposed to feel?
I did think this though.
"Maybe that kid
will be with his parents now."
If you eat ramyeon now, the damn smell
will reach the warden's office.
You know,
I actually knew the people you killed.
You see,
I believe what they got
was divine punishment.
Who
who are you?
KANG SO-MANG
Hey.
Will you
do what I asked now?
How do you want to die?
Oh my God. Seriously!
26 KM TO MYANMAR-THAILAND BORDER
I'm sorry, So-mang.
I'm sorry, So-mang.
A fire broke out in a dilapidated building
with flammable materials inside,
causing the fire to spread quickly.
Fire officials are conducting
safety inspections,
checking for any further damage.
Up next, around 6:00 p.m. yesterday,
the police were dispatched
to an apartment in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon,
after a dispute broke out
over noise between floors.
"A" complained that the ongoing noise
from the upstairs unit was unbearable.
This sparked an argument
with "B" from upstairs,
which escalated
into a physical altercation.
BREAKING NEWS:
ILSAN DENTIST COUPLE MURDER SUSPEC
HOSPITALIZED AFTER SUICIDE ATTEMP
The police resolved the situation
without any casualties,
but other apartment residents
faced severe inconvenience.
Once you kill that kid, come see me.
And tell me how he died
and what he was like
in his final moments.
Don't leave out a single detail.
That will be
the end of our deal.
You must've had a hard time.
You look worn-out.
I didn't think you'd come yourself.
We should close our deal.
Tell me
how he died
and how he looked when he did.
Tell me from the beginning in detail.
He was playing a video game on the couch.
He was so engrossed
he didn't notice me coming up behind him.
I shocked him with a stun gun,
and he fell, flailing on the floor.
I strangled him with all my strength,
using both hands,
and told him to die.
Please don't kill me.
He begged for his life.
He begged in tears, saying he was sorry.
I felt his life draining out of his body.
His limbs went limp,
and his eyes rolled back.
That's when I stabbed him in the neck.
Consider this divine punishment.
Did you look him in the face
when you stabbed him?
Yeah.
You didn't kill him, did you?
You
didn't
kill him.
What? I killed him.
I killed him.
I killed him with my own hands.
Why won't you believe me?
There's someone trying to kill you.
I'm sure you know what you did
to that person.
She will never stop.
If I don't kill you, someone else will.
If that person fails,
she'll send another person
until you're killed.
Do you understand?
If you want to live, do as I say.
No one can know you're alive.
Not your grandfather.
Not your friends.
You cannot be seen alive by anyone.
Grandpa doesn't know that I come here.
He thinks I'm scared of this place.
I'll stay in the basement.
You can lock the door from the outside.
It's just one week.
One week.
Stay hidden like you're dead.
Just until I come back.
I'll put everything back
to the way it was.
That's enough.
Our deal's off now.
You're right.
It's not him I should kill. It's you.
Do you think you can kill me
when you couldn't kill him?
Do you even know
how to kill someone with that?
You have to fill the syringe with air
and stick it into the heart.
Then inject the air.
The air will block the blood vessels
and kill me.
Go on.
I couldn't kill him.
Even if he deserves to die, how could I
how could I possibly do that?
How can one person kill another?
If they deserve to die, they should.
He should.
So should I.
I'll expose his crime to the world.
I'll make him pay for it.
I'll make him suffer
for the rest of his life.
So please.
Plea
Give me another chance.
Just one more.
That kid
is dead.

she'll send another person
until you're killed.
Do you understand?
If you want to live, do as I say.
No one can know you're alive.
Not your grandfather.
Not your friends.
You cannot be seen alive by anyone.
Grandpa doesn't know that I come here.
He thinks I'm scared of this place.
I'll stay in the basement.
You can lock the door from the outside.
It's just one week.
One week.
Stay hidden like you're dead.
Just until I come back.
I'll put everything back
to the way it was.
That's enough.
Our deal's off now.
You're right.
It's not him I should kill. It's you.
Do you think you can kill me
when you couldn't kill him?
Do you even know
how to kill someone with that?
You have to fill the syringe with air
and stick it into the heart.
Then inject the air.
The air will block the blood vessels
and kill me.
Go on.
I couldn't kill him.
Even if he deserves to die, how could I
how could I possibly do that?
How can one person kill another?
If they deserve to die, they should.
He should.
So should I.
I'll expose his crime to the world.
I'll make him pay for it.
I'll make him suffer
for the rest of his life.
So please.
Plea
Give me another chance.
Just one more.
That kid
is dead.
