WOORI TOGETHER MEDICAL CENTER

Dr. Kang.

I mean, Taeju.

Are you really going to…

End things with Seyun?

I don't know

if I can do this anymore.

I think this is where we should end it, Father.

Listen.

I know how you feel.

You see, that's just how life is.

Taeju.

Do you think I've never felt that way?

I've been there.

I wanted to give it all up and run away.

But I had a family to protect.

I just had to suck it up.

That's how I kept myself going.

Your heart,

your values, your morals…

Just put them all aside.

Don't let Seyun see them.

It'd only hurt her, all right?

EPISODE 5

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULTATION ROOM

Come on in, Taeju.

Are you okay?

No.

Sounds like the talk didn't go well.

It's okay. It happens.

It's okay, Taeju.

Don't you worry.

This isn't the end.

THE HUSBAND

Where are we?

I thought we were going to my wife.

That's for you to figure out from here on out.

It's the exact same MO as my wife's murder six years ago.

ESTIMATED TOD 36-37 HRS AFTER RANSOM CALL

His window for murder is 36 to 38 hours post-ransom call.

It's already been 15 hours since he took your wife.

Your wife is still alive.

Though she doesn't have much time left.

So what do I have to do now

to save my wife?

To pick up the money.

What? Money?

The three billion you have here. I need you to hand it over to me.

Let Seyun go first. Then I'll give you the money.

No, Mother.

Give me the money first. That's the only way she'll live.

What?

You greedy bastard!

Just take it!

Please, just take the money!

You made it onto the news.

The culprit must've seen it too.

CHOI HYEONSU NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

The NFS?

You want me to go there? Why?

To find the bait to lure him out.

REVEALING THE TRUTH WITH THE POWER OF SCIENCE

SEOUL SEONGJIN POLICE STATION

URGENT RETRIEVAL OF THE ABOVE FORENSIC EVIDENCE ITEMS

Hi, I'm with Seongjin Police. I'm here to urgently collect the evidence.

Okay, give me a moment.

How are we supposed to use surveillance cameras to contact him?

KIDNAPPING OF KO SEYUN

145-138 SONGLIM-DONG

CAMERA POSITION AT THE TIME OF INITIAL DISCOVERY NEAR ENTRYWAY

The detectives found them at your in-laws'.

Captain!

Over here.

Take a look.

Detective.

They found cameras at your house too.

Over here!

And these cameras were found during a follow-up search.

He's been…

Watching you all along.

What on earth is this guy doing? Geez…

Hmm?

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Hello?

It's been a while, Mr. Kang.

I thought I'd never see you again, but here you are.

Can we skip the pleasantries?

You've gotten real famous in the meantime.

I wasn't sure it was the same Mr. Kang I knew.

I'm honestly surprised.

And my wife?

Where is she?

She is…

Still alive, right?

For now, yes.

Just out of genuine curiosity…

Why are you really doing this to us?

You asked me for a favor, and I delivered.

So what kind of question is that?

What am I even supposed to say?

No. Cut the crap already.

Why are you really doing this to us?

Listen, boss.

That shouldn't even matter to you right now.

What should matter is that your wife is going to die,

and you're going to have to live with the guilt for the rest of your life.

Here's your money as promised.

For real this time.

Mr. Kang, it's already over.

It's too late.

How does Hogok Park in three hours sound?

Did you not hear me?

Is this funny?

Yeah, it is.

You knew it was me when you accessed this camera.

Why did you even call me?

Did you just want to hear my voice?

You do want the money, don't you?

Three billion won in cash.

It's not mixed in with 1,000-won bills either.

This is the real deal.

You're saying you don't want it, right?

I might as well destroy it then.

Okay. Fine.

You've gotten pretty smart, Mr. Kang.

All right.

Why don't we talk this out?

Yeah, I'd love to.

But first,

I need to confirm my wife is alive.

Put her on the phone.

Come on.

Come on, please.

Stay away from me.

I said, stay away!

It's for you.

I said it's for you. You don't want to take the call?

Not again.

I keep forgetting I tied up your hands.

This is your fault for trying to escape!

Just talk like this. Okay?

It's your husband.

My husband?

Hello?

Seyun.

Seyun?

Is that really you?

Yes, honey. It's me.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, thank goodness.

Honey.

I'm sorry. About everything.

No, honey.

No, really. I really am sorry.

About so many different things.

I've had so much I've wanted to say to you.

I don't know why I've been putting it all off.

Let's talk in person, okay?

I'm coming for you. Just hang in there.

Okay?

Yeah.

I'll be waiting for you.

You're testing my patience, man.

Honey.

Okay, that's enough, right?

All right, shall we get back to our deal now?

You know, I've been thinking about it.

Why do you get to decide the location? I'm the one holding the hostage.

Okay.

Go ahead. Pick one.

At 8 p.m. tonight, wait in front of Dong Nam Sports Center.

I'll tell you the exact location then.

This time, make sure you bring the money.

Is the scar any better yet?

Hey, come on. Just stay still.

Come on!

Looks all right.

Ms. Ko.

About Mr. Kang.

Is he always this flaky?

I mean, at first, he wanted you dead, and now, he wants me to let you live.

I don't know what he wants anymore. It's so exhausting.

What are you talking about?

He wanted me dead?

Oh.

I guess you didn't know.

Ugh, should I tell you this or not?

Ms. Ko.

Mr. Kang put me up to all this.

Don't you lie to me.

I'm not.

He'd never do something like that.

I heard he asked for a divorce, but you said no.

That you didn't want to give him anything he wanted.

I'm sure that's what he told me.
