used Yoosun's cell phone.

I called but they didn't answer,

so we can't locate them.

This is Yoosun's number, right?

My wife gave it to her before she left.

Just a second, please.

Yeah, I'm working.

So an operation will take care of it?

Where would I get 10 million won?

What the hell am I supposed to do?

At least our kid wasn't kidnapped

and killed.

We're lucky, you know. 'Cause we are poor.

Saw.

Hold it.

One, two...

three!

Saw.

That's not it.

Lung has gone through its course.

It looks like a woman's handwriting.

Do you recognize it?

Yoosun.

Yoosun, Mommy was wrong.

Honey, wake up.

In the summer of 1996,

there was a stir outside.

They captured an image of a spider that

lives in water, not on tree or between rocks.

There has never been such occasion

in this country.

It was discovered in a remote area...

in Kyunggi province, near Yeonchun.

Daddy...

why didn't you give me

swimming lessons a bit earlier?

I sold the company...

and I put this house up for sale.

That's...

all the money I have.

Well, there's nothing special about it.

A brother and sister lived here.

They don't know where they moved to.

I'll look into it.

Let's go. Nothing more to see here.

You asked if I ever provoked anyone?

Are you the father?

Well, actually-

I am. How is he?

If I were a very optimistic doctor...

I'd tell you...

there was hope.

When did you first know

we'd become like this?

The moment our eyes met.

You're like an ant.

An ant?

They say ants are psychic.

They predict earthquakes and floods.

That was Baek Hyun-jin's "Affection"...

requested by a man who signed

his name as "Ryu of Doksan-dong. "

Any of you remember this guy?

He was deaf.

He sent a postcard two months ago,

saying his sister was sick.

Oh, no. She passed away.

He says, "I'm the one who killed her.

"My life has no meaning now. "

You shouldn't say that.

Would she want to see you like this?

Don't forget she's watching you

from above.

I know you can't hear me...

but me and our listening audience...

are praying for you.

Be strong.

To help you out...

I'll send you a new

Maybell kimchi refrigerator.

You didn't write an address...

so if anyone listening to

this broadcast knows him...

please let him know.

We're waiting for such touching

stories from you, our viewers.

If there's a story you want to tell,

send me a letter.

Our address is Seoul, Yeongdungpo-gu...

Yeouido Post Office, Box #87...

c/o Lee Geum-hee.

I kept them

because the pictures were pretty.

I cried so much while reading them.

But is he really a kidnapper?

I shouldn't send him a gift, then.

You haven't sent it, have you?

Don't say anything. Just leave.
