[Episode 9]

This is my house.

The house is fine.

[Mi Jeong's house]
[Video]

Mi Jeong, hello!

It's Da Eun,

the postmaster's daughter.

I didn't have the courage to stand before you,

so I'm sending my greetings through this video.

While reading the books you
translated that Dong Jin gave me,

I was proud of you.

You're doing well, my heart felt at ease,

and I was grateful.

Mi Jeong,

back then,

I was too young

and full of jealousy.

It might have been a rumor that
would fade after circulating briefly,

but I gave it a name.

A named rumor

spreads faster and farther.

Really,

I'm truly sorry, Mi Jeong.

Mi Jeong,

since childhood,

you were always the one who made friends laugh.

My memories of playing
jacks and jump rope with you

are my happiest memories.

Ah, and…

When we cut the jump rope and ran away,

I keep laughing remembering
Do Hoon falling into the manhole.

That Do Hoon

became a Taebaek Post Office employee
and is getting married next month.

Why has this simple word "sorry"

weighed me down

for so long?

I'm truly sorry.

Please forgive my careless words

and immature actions.

And now, instead of being called a witch,

I hope you reclaim

your beautiful name, Mi Jeong.

Then, goodbye.

[Episode 9 SHINE ON YOU]

Jung Hyuk, this is the right place.

This matches that punk's dad's car.

No, but how come this stupid rat

doesn't know he shouldn't log in
at such places in this day and age?

[Enter PC Room]

Let's grab him now.

Yes, understood. I'll go through the back door.

[Lee Dong Jin: I'm going to her]

I clearly won't clean up, will I?

Welcome.

Excuse me.

[Police Officer Kim Jung Hyuk]

What brings the police here?

There's someone I'm looking for.
Excuse me for a moment.

Of course, feel free to look around.

Oh, Myung Gi.

It's me.

You know me, right?

Darn it!

Stop there!

Na Myung Gi!

Jung Hyuk, to the upper floor!

[Spring Day Welfare center]

Darn it!

Darn you!

Hey!

[Galchi jorim, Fried fish
fresh pork belly, grilled tripe]

[Prince Motel]

Hey!

Myung Gi.

There's something I'm really curious about.

Why do you guys run so fast?

Screw you!

Stay still.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You've made your point enough by now.
Enough, put that down.

Or you'll get hurt.

Na Myung Gi.

You are under urgent arrest for stalking
Lee Yoon Ah and attempted m*rder.

You can appoint a lawyer,

and you may request a review
of the arrest's validity.

Ah, but sir,

there's one thing I've
always been curious about.

Are you involved with Yoon Ah?

Did she seduce you?

You trashy rat.

Die! Die!

Jung Hyuk!

Stop! Stop it, brother!

Let go.

[Gangdong Police Station, Seoul]

Jung Hyuk,

they said three ribs were broken

and several teeth were knocked out.

And he needs a 21-week recovery period.
This is clear occupational violence.

You're now in a position where
you can't escape blame.

I'm sorry.

Is this because of that victim?

You handled the initial investigation when
the victim reported the stalking, right?

So you're acting out of guilt.

Jung Hyuk,

we can't prevent every incident
that hasn't even occurred.

We can only do our best.

A commendation will come in.

Let's wrap this up properly somehow.

I'm sorry for being so late.

Not at all.

You've really been through a lot, Detective.

Thank you so much.

Please deliver the news to
Yoon Ah yourself, Detective.

No need, you tell her please.

I'll take my leave now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Gangdong Police Station, Seoul]

Well.

Why does the wrongdoer seem more comfortable?

You even have time for physical training?

I'd like to do cyber investigations
too, enjoying warm heater air.

Got a complaint about that?

No, that's not what I meant…

My thigh was stabbed too.

But they won't even grant me sick leave
since I can walk. That's unfair, right?

You're moving around just fine.

If you have time to chat, get running.

Ugh, the junior's injured while
the senior's doing strength training.

How heartwarming. Truly heartwarming.

Oh, Ms. Su Hyeon, what brings you here?

I came to see Detective Kim Jung Hyuk.

Not here for me, but Detective Kim?

Ms. Su Hyeon, he's not a detective anymore.
He's an investigation unit member now.

Ms. Su Hyeon, you need any help?

Well, since you are transferred,

we need to complete this document.

[Transfer confirmation document]

You just need your signature here.

Ah, okay.

Wait, Ms. Su Hyeon.

You could've just called the police affairs
section instead of bringing document

all the way to this sweaty gym.

Here you go.

Ah, and also…

This…

What's this?

Congratulations on your transfer.

- What?
- Wait a second.

Ms. Su Hyeon, where's mine?

I also have this…

Ms. Su Hyeon. Ms. Su Hyeon, wait.

Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk?

Ugh, the smell. You need ventilation.

Can we talk for a moment?

What? You know her?

We met before, right? At the hospital
where Mr. Dong Jin was admitted.

What? A detective with poor observation skills?

Keep it brief, I am working.

I know it well.

And I'm just as busy as
you detectives, you know.

[Heo Eun Sil]

My name is Heo Eun Sil.

Yes, that's what it says.
But what's the matter?

You know Lee Dong Jin? Your friend.

You have a lot of questions.

Are you always this unpleasant?

You don't have many friends around, do you?

Please keep it brief.

When was the last time
you contacted Lee Dong Jin?

But how do you know Dong Jin?

If you're asked a question, you should
answer. How can you just ask another?

About half a month ago, I think.

Half a month?

And you haven't contacted him since then?

No.

Are you the punk who stabbed
the detective without any fear?

Look at this rat.

What about Hyun Woo?

He's at the hospital. We checked
he's okay and came back.

Got it. Good work.

Hey, take him away.

- Come here.
- I'll park the car and come up.

[Message]

[Lee Dong Jin: I'm going to her]

[Lee Dong Jin]

You haven't contacted him for half a month.

Are you really his friend?

Because real friends don't
need to talk every day.

Anyway, you haven't contacted
him since then, right?

You have no idea where
he is or what he's doing?

Well… yeah.

Excuse me, Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk,

can't you assess the situation right now?

Lee Dong Jin is missing.

What do you mean?

He might be in danger right now. Or maybe

your friend Lee Dong Jin might be dead.

Dong Jin's phone still receives calls.

If he was missing, his phone would be off.

He's probably just busy and can't answer it.

Once he focuses, he won't notice
even if a fire breaks out next to him.

Sure, think whatever you want.

You're his best friend, but you know nothing.

How pathetic Lee Dong Jin is.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing comes to mind.

Bro.

Why are you eating alone? It's no fun.

Kim Jung Hyuk! You're Kim Jung Hyuk, right?

Hey, why eat alone? It's no fun.

Don't tell me you don't recognize me.

I'm in the same statistics department as you.
We took Professor Hwang's class together.

Hi, I'm Lee Dong Jin.

First notify your family members and tell
them to file a missing person report first.

We need a warrant to track phone
locations and check activity patterns.

Dong Jin has no family.

His mother passed away
years ago, and there's no one left.

Let's talk later, keep looking into it.

Yes. Where are you going?

- Drink up.
- Ah, yes.

The address we have on file
at our company is also outdated.

Yangjae-dong.

Oh, is that so?

By the way did you two have a fight?

It's already been over 5 months
since he quit the company.

You didn't know until now?

I used being busy as an excuse
and didn't pay enough attention.

I was really surprised back then, too.

Someone who never acted like that before
suddenly said he had something to do.

There's something I must do.

I think I'll regret it too much
if I miss this chance.

He said he couldn't afford to do it later.

He said he couldn't be late?

I don't know what he was trying
to do. He never told me until the end.

Oh, right.

After quitting he asked to have his
remaining belongings sent by express delivery.

Express delivery?

[Cheonhyo-ro 29-gil]

No, really…

Can we just do this without
the resident's permission?

- Oh, my! How have you been?
- Hello!

It would be awkward if
I alone get unfairly blamed.

I'll take responsibility, don't worry.

Wait. You said this is a disappearance case.

Then what if when we open
the door and we find a corpse?

Even before that, he kept
insisting it had to be this house.

That's why I thought it was strange.

It won't be like that.

Still, just in case…

Excuse me.

Oh, my!

He cleaned up thoroughly!

Did he die not in the house but
somewhere like that mountain?

What did you say earlier?

Huh?

If not the house, then somewhere
like that back mountain?

You know it's often on the news.

No, not that part.

You said Dong Jin insisted it
had to be this house right?

I told you that's how it was.

He kept bothering the part-timer,
asking to change rooms.

The part-timer?

It was really strange, right?

Insisting if I could just change the floor.

At first, I really thought he was
a psycho, you know?

Was there a specific reason
he had to move into Unit 602?

I don't know. He seemed to be
holed up in his room almost every day.

Except for the one day a week he
worked part-time at the supermarket.

So, Dong Jin only did deliveries on Tuesdays?

Yes.

So, I naturally assumed there
must be some circumstances.

But he couldn't even keep that job for long.

I mean, how could someone who
looks so gentle get into fights every day?

Every day it was bruises here, cuts there.

He kept coming in injured like that.

Then one day we got a call
saying he'd been hospitalized.

They said he was too injured to keep working.

Haven't you left yet?

Yes, Chairman. Do you have
any idea where he might be?

Well…

Lee Dong Jin was a rare
kind of person these days.

Most people try to monetize
their talents nowadays,

but he tried to save people.

When was the last time you contacted him?

We haven't been in regular contact.

Don't worry too much.

Someone with his life-saving skills

wouldn't give up on life easily.

Yes, of course, but…

Ah, by the way,

if you reach Lee Dong Jin,
tell him I said thank you.

Thanks to him, I've been getting
proper rest in the car lately.

Pardon?

It was Lee Dong Jin who
introduced Manager Lee to us.

[Resume: Lee Jung h*]

Ah, yes.

Alright, then. Be careful on your way back.

Yes.

Lee Dong Jin, why did you leave me this riddle?

[This folder is empty]

The computer was completely empty except
for statistical programs installed everywhere.

[Contemplation in a Strange Place

[Contemplation in a Strange Place]

[The Journey of Existence]

Hello?

Hello? Lee Dong Jin! Why are
you only answering the phone now?

Do you know how worried I've been?

- Um…
- Because of you, Lee Dong Jin…

I even went to endure that Kim Jung Hyuk's
awful face and mediocre personality.

Hello? Lee Dong Jin? Are you listening?

This is Kim Jung Hyuk.

Exactly! That Kim Jung Hyuk!

Oh. Is it Detective Kim Jung Hyuk speaking?

Yes. Dong Jin left his phone
at the place where he lived.

What about Mr. Lee Dong Jin?

I haven't found him yet.

More importantly, Ms. Heo Eun Sil,

you need to meet with me
and give me some explanation.

What? What explanation? I'm kind of busy.

Sorry for making you come. What's this about?

[A Respected Child Remains Unshaken]

What is this?

It was on the bookshelf in Dong Jin's house.

What?

[A Respected Child Remains Unshaken]
What am I supposed to do about it?

Men can read parenting books too, right?

Before Dong Jin left, he left
a clue on the bookshelf.

When you look at someone's bookshelf,
you can usually see their categories.

[Contemplation in a Strange Place, Journey of Existence]
But Dong Jin's bookshelf didn't show any of that.

Parenting books, romance novels,

cliché self-help books that
probably aren't even popular.

It was strange.

The Dong Jin I knew would
never read such books.

They were so suspiciously
lacking in commonalities,

but a minor commonality actually stood out.

They were all English-language
books that needed translation.

[Translated by Park Mi Jeong]

Could this be a coincidence?

The translator is the same for all of them.

[The Solace of Travel,
Translated by Park Mi Jeong]

[Translated by Park Mi Jeong]

[Translator: Park Mi Jeong]

[Translated by Park Mi Jeong]

[Translator: Park Mi Jeong]
And another coincidence,

the translator's background includes
a travel documentary program.

The very program that you are in charge of.

Let's go back to the beginning.

Ms. Heo Eun Sil,

how do you know Lee Dong Jin?

Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk,

now you're finally acting like a detective.

What?

Oh.

If we're going to talk about Mr. Lee Dong Jin,

we should start with the translator
Park Mi Jeong first.

Where should I even begin?
How should I explain this?

Who exactly is that Park Mi Jeong?

Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk,

do you believe witches exist in this world?

Do you

think witches exist?

Witches?

[Lee Dong Jin: I'm going to her]

Jeez! That punk is really…

Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk,

how can you just go like this?

I really had no choice either.

I thought Dong Jin would
find a way for Mi Jeong.

Regardless of the reason,

aren't you complicit in
putting Dong Jin in danger?

I already regret it.

From now on, I'll find Dong Jin myself.

Mr. Kim Jung Hyuk!

Do you know why Dong Jin lives in that house?

I imagined it, but it's
stranger than I thought.

That's so Lee Dong Jin.

The reason he organized
these items so meticulously.

This isn't organization…

What?

It's a batch.

A batch?

Dong Jin probably anticipated
that I'd find this place.

It must have been meant to show me.

But the clues Dong Jin left

is only the name Park Mi Jeong.

That very house is Mi Jeong's home.

This is thicker than regular window glass.

It's the glass used in police
interrogation rooms.

A kind of one-way mirror.

If the lights aren't bright, nobody
can see this side from there.

What are you doing?

Huh?

What could this be?

Hey!

Wait, look at this.

Is this a blog?

Coincidence?

[Coincidence]

It's something Dong Jin often said.

There are only two posts?

If it's 7:32…

[Now Going to Her - February 25, 2023, 19:32]

It's similar to the time
Dong Jin sent me a message.

[I'm going to her]

Did he disappear after going to Park Mi Jeong?

"Every discovery is only a difference
in how close it is to the result…"

"They all belong to coincidence."

"I've decided to document
everything that happened."

"The first statistical
report wasn't a failure."

First statistical report?

What does this mean?

It seems like Dong Jin made
this blog to leave records.

Then, there must definitely be secret posts.

[Password]

Don't you know the password?

Maybe Dong Jin's birthday
or something like that.

[Incorrect password]

There's no way he would've used that.

You tried it anyway, didn't you?

No.

You said he arranged it to show you something.

Don't you see anything?

Aren't you in the cyber investigation unit?

We don't even know if Lee Dong Jin
is alive or dead right now.

Shouldn't we try hacking or something?

Doing that without a warrant is a crime.

What if

Lee Dong Jin gave up everything
and went into hiding

after trying and failing repeatedly?

That's not the case.

What?

Dong Jin

would never do something like that.

[Introduction to Statistics Final Exam]

Oh, it's too hard.

What even is Bayes' theorem?
It's freaking hard.

First-years can't solve this anyway.

The seniors said

they make the exam hard
to make people give up on statistics.

That's Professor Hwang's go-to move.

Why does he do that, seriously?

Huh? Everyone left.

Huh? What's up, Kim Jung Hyuk?

Were you waiting for me?

Hey, that's so touching.

Do you think the answer will come
out if you keep staring at it like that?

Huh? What?

It's an unsolvable problem.

I'm asking if staring at it
will make the answer appear.

Yeah, I solved everything.

Really?

If you keep approaching it
little by little without giving up,

you'll see the key.

Since the answer is already
within the problem anyway.

Oh, right.

Dong Jin used to say that often.

The answer lies within the problem.

"The first statistical
report was not a failure."

First statistical report.

Statistical Report…

Jung Hyuk, let's go together.

[Our Jimulpo]

You crazy punk!

How many times did you even try?

Ms. Eun Sil, do you believe what Dong Jin said?

That Park Mi Jeong is a witch.

Dong Jin showed us himself, didn't he?

I didn't want to believe it either. But this…

It's not a matter of
believing or not believing.

I just hope

Mi Jeong can live well.

It seems impossible, anyway.

We should ask directly.

What do you mean by "ask directly"?

The last text says, "I'm going to her".

Then, we should ask that woman over there

what happened to Dong Jin in the end.

That can't be.

Why?

Do you know why Mi Jeong lives
like that in that rooftop?

She isolated herself from the world

because people get hurt because of her.

If she finds out what happened
to Dong Jin might be because of her,

she might really disappear this time.

Hyun Woo, it's me.

Let's file a missing person report.

And check for unidentified male corpses,

estimated to be in their 20s to 30s
discovered within the last month.

Okay.

Alarm at 2:30?

[Shine on you]

Why did you come alone today?

You should hang out together.
Why are you here alone?

Is something wrong?

10 minutes.

10 meters.

10 meters.

Someone, at this hour?

What is it?

Ah, what a scare!

What?

Where did that old guy go again?

"Kim Jung Hyuk Incident Report Data"?

There are still 9 minutes left.

I should get going now.

Ms. Park Mi Jeong,

could we talk for a moment?

Who are you?

Ah, no need to worry.

I'm Detective Kim Jung Hyuk
from the Gangdong Police Station.

Detective Kim Jung Hyuk?

Why did a detective come to see me?

And ten sentences.

I'd like to have a brief conversation.

About what?

There's something I need to verify.

Verification?

Just share any story you like.

I really don't understand at all.

You suddenly appear and want to talk…

Since I'm not a bad person,

just a few more words will suffice.

That stray cat must have had kittens.

Pardon?

A cat with kittens

rarely approaches humans willingly.

That's not true.

Cats with kittens are naturally
affectionate toward humans.

They actively approach humans themselves,

hoping to receive care.

A survival instinct, I suppose.

It's not a stray.

It's a street cat.

It hasn't stolen anything.

True.

It's a street cat.

My apologies.

I'll take my leave now.

Hey, wait a moment.

There was something I needed to confirm.

What is it?

Never mind, that's all.

Ah, and,

I believe that story.

What?

The story about dying
if someone approaches you.

I know better than anyone

what that means.

[Kim Jung Hyuk Incident Report Data]

"Ankle sprain minor injury."

"Shoulder fracture moderate injury."

"Spinal fracture moderate injury."

"Park Sung Mi's Electric Shock Accident."

"Lee Yoon Ah, Victim of

I violated all the rules.

Precondition of the rule,

it only happens to those who love that woman.

Dong Jin's hypothesis was
perfect down to its precondition.

why Lee Dong Jin left clues for you.
