Damn it.
So-hae!
So-hae!
So-hae!
This way. Hurry!
We're late!
For God's sake.
Seriously!
Come on, hurry!
Hang on.
ANOTHAI AYAMA BORDER PATROL POLICE ACADEMY
I'll see you later.
How many people?
Thank you.
All right, come this way!
Three bottles for a pretty smile!
No, there won't be enough.
Two bottles per person. Two bottles!
Three bottles for a pretty smile!
Whoa, So-mang!
Are you wearing makeup?
Hey, worry about your own face.
It looks rough and dry.
Have you still not used
the lipstick I sent you?
Oh, that?
How can I? It's too precious.
I bought it with the money you sent me,
so just use it as much as you like.
Yeah, exactly. That money was for you.
Why would you spend it on me?
Just use it. Please.
Oh, be quiet.
How's Dad? How's his back?
Who knows? If it hurts, he should say so.
But he never does.
- Hi, So-mang!
- Hey.
What's this? Are you wearing makeup?
- Yep.
- Looking good!
You're teasing, aren't you?
No, I really think you look good. What?
- Why would you laugh?
- Yeah, you look pretty.
I swear I'll get you back for this.
I'll bring her with me
when I go back to Korea next year.
- Get back at her then.
- What? You laughed too.
- I said she's pretty.
- Hey, So-mang.
You look pretty. It looks natural.
Do you want to say hi?
- Who is it?
- My sister.
Hello. I'm Hui-yeong, So-mang's friend.
So you're my sister's friend. Hi.
- Hi.
- We're in the same class.
Isn't she cute?
Yeah, you two play nice.
I see you've got makeup on too.
Don't tease her!
No, I really think she looks pretty.
Is this her?
Could you sit up for us real quick?
Thank you.
Doc.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're seeing a rapid exacerbation
of our COVID patients.
Dr. Kang!
- Can you help with their management?
- Okay.
His saturation is hitting below 70.
- I'm going to intubate him first.
- Okay.
Her BP dropped below 80.
One norepinephrine here.
Okay.
More COVID patients are coming in!
Severe patient, this room.
Mild patient, other room.
Listen up, all medical staff! Make sure
you're wearing your PPE properly!
The water supply hasn't arrived yet.
Just drink it.
If you collapse too,
we're going to be in real trouble.
FROM SO-MANG
Are you busy?
Do you have a minute to talk?
Call her, even for a second.
She's all grown up now. She'll understand.
I don't feel so good.
So-hae! Are you all right?
So-hae!
Help!
So-hae!
Please help!
So-hae.
So-hae!
12 MISSED CALLS
102 NOTIFICATIONS
FROM SO-MANG
Don't watch this no matter what.
Whatever you do, don't open it.
Please just delete it.
Those clothes look uncomfy.
Let me take them off.
Don't.
Stay still.
Should I film it?
- I'm fine.
- Yeah, film it.
I said stay still.
- Don't!
- Damn it.
I said no. Don't!
No!
Come closer.
Keep filming there.
So-hae!
So-hae.
KANG JI-SEOK: DECEASED APRIL 7
SUSPECTED SUICIDE
KANG SO-MANG: DECEASED APRIL 2
SUICIDE
So-hae, are you okay?
So-hae.
So-hae!
To prevent and block
the growing spread of COVID-19,
all border checkpoints,
trade facilitation points, and passageways
will be permanently closed.
Open the door.
Open the door! Momo, I said open the door!
Open the damn door!
I told you to open the door!
Don't.
Let me out!
I have to go home!
Please
So-hae, don't do this!
I have to go back to Korea!
So-hae, don't be like this.
- I have to go!
- Stop.
You know I have to go.
- Come on. Walk with me.
- You know I have to go!
I have to go home!
So-hae!
No! I have to go back to Korea! Please!
No, I have to go.
So-hae.
- I have to go! I have to
- So-hae!
I'm sorry, So-mang.
Then pull yourself together.
I'm going to kill them all.
You've got to get up
if you want revenge or whatever.
I'm sorry, So-mang.
I'm sorry, So-mang.
No!
Guard!
Anyone down there?
Over here!
Hurry!
Open the door!
Officer!
I got her! Come on! Hurry!
Cut her loose! Quickly!
Call an ambulance! Hurry!
Yes, ma'am.
Help me! It hurts!
The blood vessel has ruptured.
You have to tie it off
before it retracts into the pelvis.
Call the hospital,
and get someone here right now!
- Hurry!
- Yes, ma'am.
She won't last until then.
Then what do you want me to do?
She just tried to kill her,
and you want to put her life in her hands?
Did you call them? When are they coming?
It'll be too late if we wait.
Let her out.
Yes, ma'am.
Get me a Kelly, IV fluid, and a splint.
No.
I'm scared.
Get away from me!
Please tell her to get away from me.
- Please help me.
- This will hurt a lot.
Hold her legs down.
Hold her down.
Doctor, please assist me.
Okay.
Open up the wound, please.
Shall I ease the pain?
If her heart rate drops, it'll be riskier.
I'll start.
Kelly.
Hold her tight.
- Gauze, please.
- Okay.
What is that?
Isn't that Baek's car?
It's Prosecutor Baek.
That kid could've lived. Man.
Prosecutor Baek, you made it.
You're here.
Sir, your desk got moved back
to the third floor yesterday.
Now that I work for you again,
I get to be at a crime scene
past midnight.
Have you checked nearby CCTV cameras?
We're securing them now.
She seems to have been
in a fight before she fled.
It looks like she was in a hurry.
She left her wallet and card behind.
What is all this?
Sir, could you
KO SE-HUN'S TRAVEL ROUTE
The 4th.
The 6th.
"I hope he deserves to die."
Come take a look at this!
Take all these with you.
Do you think this can be restored?
She already got rid of the memory card.
Even if there's data left on the device,
it won't be easy.
Hello, this is Prosecutor Baek Dong-hun.
Can you please issue a search warrant?
Yes, right now.
We'll be executing it tonight.
You can move her now.
They'll ask about the initial treatment
at the hospital.
It'd be better
if Inmate 407 went with you instead of me.
Let's go.
Come on.
At least wipe your face.
I'm starting anesthesia now.
She was already bleeding heavily
from an open femoral fracture,
so I realigned the femur first.
Then I clamped the end of the vessel
with a Kelly to reduce the bleeding.
Her vitals were unstable,
so I didn't give her any pain relief.
So you performed the procedure yourself,
not the medical officer?
Yes.
And you've done it before?
Yes.
JUNGDONG GENERAL HOSPITAL
Get some rest.
We'll be staying
until we know how the surgery went.
Ms. Eom, here you go.
Thank you.
JANG JEONG-GU LAW OFFICE
Seriously
Isn't this a violation
of my client's rights?
Do you really need to go this far?
That's what I want to ask.
What were you doing
until things got to this point?
While you were going around
claiming An Yun-su's innocence,
she was planning to murder Ko Se-hun.
And now the kid's dead.
An Yun-su contacted you, didn't she?
When was it?
This was the last message from her.
I'M TERMINATING YOUR SERVICES
She hasn't been taking my calls since.
You still believe she's innocent,
don't you?
I haven't heard her side of the story yet.
Did it ever occur to you
that she's just been using you?
That's why attorneys exist.
To be used in the client's best interest.
Can I go out for a smoke?
Hello?
Hello?
This is An Yun-su.
The office rent?
I told your son I'd be taking on his case
in return for it.
Yes, it's all in the contract.
We signed the contract
under that agreement.
Yes.
Are you all right?
For now.
I know you don't trust me,
but you're all I've got right now.
Please go see Mo Eun.
It's not wise to get mixed up with her.
People will only get suspicious.
She knows I didn't do it.
And she knew Ko Se-hun was dead
before I did.
I don't know what it is she knows,
but I have to know now.
Do you trust Mo Eun?
Even if I were to meet her, we don't know
whether she'll help you.
Please do this for me.
- But, Ms. An
- Sir.
Mo Eun was taken
to the hospital again today.
Not because she was hurt,
but an inmate had an accident
and was seriously injured.
Mo Eun provided emergency care,
so she followed them to Jungdong Hospital.
Hold on.
Who was that just now?
My landlord.
- Check this number.
- Okay.
Seriously?
031-026-5794. Run this number for me.
They say it's from a payphone nearby.
What did An Yun-su say?
What did you talk about?
Deploy officers in the area.
Stop and check every single passerby,
bus, and taxi. Nothing gets past us.
Hello. Is she all right?
She's fine. She's not hurt.
I'd like to talk to her. Is that possible?
Alone?
Yes, I'd appreciate it.
Go ahead. I'll be outside.
Thank you.
If you're here to withdraw as my lawyer,
you could've waited until morning.
I'll admit I've been troubled.
Why didn't you tell me?
There's a lot I've left out.
Ms. An called her lawyer.
There's something she wants to know.
She said you know
she didn't kill Ko Se-hun.
And that you knew he was dead
before anyone else did.
Do you really know something
that we don't?
Her lawyer said
he saw Ms. An at the hospital
the day Ko Se-hun's body was found.
You two met, right?
If you know something, please tell me.
If An Yun-su isn't the killer,
someone should help her.
Ms. Mo.
Ms. Mo!
Inmate 407.
It's fine.
Well
I got thirsty.
- Ms. Mo.
- Yun-su must be mistaken.
I'm sorry?
Just tell her that.
The surgery went well.
She survived
due to the on-scene emergency care.
Inmate 407,
you saved her life.
Guess it just wasn't her time.
Have you finished talking to her?
Yes.
Then we should head back.
Ms. Eom.
Can I take a shower before we go?
JUNGDONG GENERAL HOSPITAL
You're showering too?
Get in.
Put these on afterward.
I'm not sure if you're reckless
or if you're impressive.
If you know something, please tell me.
If An Yun-su isn't the killer,
someone should help her.
Inmate 407!
It's fine.
I've become a murderer again.
Was it your doing?
Are you asking
if there was someone else besides you?
No, there wasn't.
If there was another way,
I wouldn't have depended
on someone too soft like you.
I thought killing Ko Se-hun
would be no problem,
knowing how much you care
about your daughter.
Killing someone might be easy for you,
but not for me.
I didn't kill anyone. So why am I--
This is
just like when you were in prison.
Having a fit won't change anything.
What is it that you know?
You said you saw a photo.
That's how you knew Ko Se-hun was killed,
and not by me.
Tell me everything you remember.
Ko Se-hun
got what he deserved.
And I etched his final moment in my mind
so I can clearly remember.
There's Ko Se-hun
in the center of the photo, dead.
He's on a brown leather couch.
His head is tilted to the left,
and a knife is lodged
in the right side of his neck.
Its black handle is sticking out,
as if he's grown a horn on his neck.
There's a tall window behind him,
and a streetlamp
is glowing yellow outside.
Someone sent me this.
Do you know who sent that photo?
At first, I thought it was you.
Then I thought,
"Someone must've sent this photo
pretending to be you."
What I needed to ask
was not who sent it, but why.
Why did they send me that photo
pretending to be you?
Why were they waiting for you
to kill Ko Se-hun?
And how did they know
we were planning to kill him?
Wrap it up now.
Don't
trust anyone.
Since you got in here safely,
I presume you can get out too.
Be careful.
Why didn't she get changed?
Let's go.
Fucking hell.
Inmate 407!
Stop right there!
Out of the way!
Inmate 407!
Are you okay?
Get her!
Hey, get her!
- 407!
- 407!
Hey!
- Officer Kang, that way!
- Okay.
Get her!
What's going on?
- Damn it.
- 407!
Did you see that?
Inmate 407 just entered
the basement kitchen.
Block all exits here
and the way to the parking lot.
Send all officers this way.
please come
to the radiology department immediately.
Yes.
Yes.
I walked right into a dead end.
Shut up.
Hands up and kneel.
When my son and daughter-in-law died,
I tried to accept it.
Because I knew what they did.
I thought it was divine punishment
from the heavens.
But still, you should've shown
mercy to the child.
He'd lost his parents.
That was enough punishment.
My only regret is that I didn't get
to kill him with my own hands
in front of his parents.
You should've forgiven the child.
112, emergency services.
Hello?
Are you in danger right now?
Please help me.
Can you tell me your location?
Hello?
Ma'am?
Don't hang up. I'll track your location.
