The Price of Confession (자백의 대가)

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...

OFFICE PROF. JIN YOUNG-IN

TO LAWYER JIN YOUNG-IN PLEASE GIVE THIS TO MO EUN

KIM MUN-JUN

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.
