Episode One :

On a rainy night at 10 pm, in the empty streets of Gangnam, a woman walked cautiously, feeling a mysterious presence in the dark. Suddenly, as she looked back, the feeling of danger vanished, bringing a moment of relief. But this relief was short-lived as a group of menacing men dressed in black appeared from the shadows, quickly grabbing her and forcing her into a waiting car.

Across the city, in the lively neighborhood of Itaewon, Detective Kim Sujin lived with his family – his caring wife Emily and their 5-year-old daughter Kim Miso. Despite Sujin's busy schedule, Emily made sure he didn't miss a meal, often bringing him lunch at the office.

One morning, Sujin was woken up by Miso jumping on the bed. They had a cheerful breakfast, sharing laughter over Gyeran bap, Sujin's favorite. Emily joined them, creating a bubble of warmth and happiness that sharply contrasted with the disturbing events in Gangnam.

However, the pleasant morning took a dark turn when Sujin received a work call, urging him to go to the crime scene. What he found was horrifying – a woman in a trash can, naked, bruised, and without organs. The victim was Lee Chayeon, 28 years old and married. The last unanswered call was with her husband, adding mystery to the disturbing crime. She didn't have any children.

Sujin, troubled, asked his team, "Did you check the CCTV around the street?"

A team member replied, "Sir, there is no CCTV around this area."

"Please check the black box of any car that was here yesterday," Sujin instructed. "And before I forget, check where her husband and close friends were yesterday at 10 pm."

The investigation led them to her husband, whom they questioned about the crime. The rain-soaked city became a backdrop to a relentless pursuit of justice, with Sujin and his team determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding the woman's disappearance and the brutal crime.

The forensic team took pictures of the crime scene, but it was really sad and shocking. Everyone felt upset seeing the pictures of the women. Detective Kim Sujin, wanting to understand everything, took the pictures to check them himself. The photos told a story of pain and suffering. As he looked at each picture, he became more determined to find justice for the victims. The room felt heavy, but Sujin's eyes showed that he was ready to uncover the dark secrets hidden in those troubling images.

As they delved deeper, connecting the dots between the menacing men in black and the missing woman, the complexity of the case unfolded. The rain, a constant companion in their investigation, became a symbol of resilience as they faced the challenges of piecing together the puzzle.

The rain-soaked city bore witness to Detective Kim Sujin's unwavering determination. With the support of his family and the dedication of his team, he brought the truth to light. In the end, justice prevailed over darkness, proving that even in the bleakest moments, the light of truth could shine through.
