The Frog (아무도 없는 숲속에서)

Ha Si-hyeon.

Ha Si-hyeon!

Um, ma'am?

Is my dad coming here soon?

Soon as you finish your plate.

If a tree falls in a forest...

and no one is around to hear it...

does it make a sound?

Or is there nothing

but silence?

THE FROG

- I said it starts at 9:00. -I heard you.

I'll wait outside.

She's coming down.

Hey, the sitter's gonna come pick you up later, okay?

Okay.

- One, two... - Use both arms.

...three, four, five,

six, seven.

- Left side. - Over here.

To the left. To the left. Use both hands.

- One, two, three, four, five... - Good.

...six, seven.

All right.

Other side, other side.

One, two, three,

four, five, six...

- -

Sir, are you hurt?

-Sorry about that. -Oh, I'm not... I...

Oh, you got...

Were you in a hurry to get somewhere or...

You know what? It's fine.

W... wait. Do you...

Sorry, never mind.

Yeah.

What time is it?

- -Did they leave already?

Huh?

I'll help you clean up, then.

Let's clean it all.

Now?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, the guests are still asleep.

Still asleep?

Okay, wake me up when they leave, then.

Hey, you lied to me.

-They're already gone. -Oh!

Just do a light cleanup, then come over and eat.

Wow! Brownnosing to impress the new captain, aren't ya?

-It's Officer Oh's orders. -Uh-huh.

Why even bother kissing ass if this is where you're gonna end up?

You know?

I just wanna work in peace. That's all I'm asking.

Well, if you're trying to score brownie points with the new boss,

it's gonna take a minute.

The captain's out sightseeing all day.

- -

-This our new captain? -Yep.

Dang. For a field detective, this guy needs to get some sun.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- Move it! -

Welcome, Captain.

Uh, Captain?

You must be Sergeant Choi.

Sorry, they're still a little... After you.

Hey, be careful with those.

You better not drop her orchids.

FROM YEOM DONG-CHAN, HUSBAND

YOON BO-MIN

They call her "It."

You know how detectives sometimes get nicknames?

"Viper," "Mad Dog," "Ghost"?

Well, I don't know why, but our captain's nickname is "It."

I guess the captain of her Violent Crimes team

started calling her "It," and it just stuck.

Maybe he thought she'd just be running around,

chasing people without any leads.

And then she solved the Geonjang-dong plank case.

The Sangi Elementary School killing, the Daepyeong Reservoir case.

All of those? Hers.

And she found the body in the water tank at Jugyeong Mountain too.

And now people don't even realize

that the nickname was sarcastic in the first place.

That's why they call her that.

If she's so damn good, how'd she end up out here in the boonies?

Who knows?

But what I do know is that she wasn't stuck with this post.

She chose to come here.

JULY 2001, MY FIRST CASE

- - Move, now.

A few pictures. Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Let me take a few pictures. Oh, come on! Hey!

Can you come with us? We'd like to take a witness statement.

Down at the station. If you wouldn't mind.

- You okay? - Are you all right?

Maybe we can take her to the hospital first, sir?

Just take her home instead. Let's go.

Have you ever had a guest who cleaned the restroom when they left?

Huh? You mean spotless?

She cleaned it.

She did?

I think most guests just clean a little bit here and there.

Though everyone's a little different, you know what I mean?

I guess it depends. But, yeah.

None have ever cleaned the bathroom like that before.

-I mean, he's early as hell. -It's all right.

They said two weeks.

Hey. Sorry I couldn't help you clean.

Hey, don't clean the pool. I got it.

Uh...

Oh, hold on. I gotta hit the head.

Oh, hey, sis.

Yeah, she just fell asleep.

It's been crazy for you too, huh?

Is Gi-ho in bed?

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Gi-ho. You still up?

Listen to your auntie. Okay, buddy?

Mom and Dad are working. But we'll get you soon, okay? All right?

Okay.

Why do you sound so down, champ? Huh?

All right, get some sleep.

I'll call soon, okay?

Uh-huh.

Hey, that's enough.

Hey, it's okay.

I said, slow down! Jesus.

Want me to hold the spoon for you?

How 'bout I shove the food down your throat? Huh?

I was adamant.

What?

It felt like he was on the fence.
