In the 9th episode of 'Missing 2', Kim Wook (played by Go Soo) and Shin Jun-ho (played by Ha Jun) found out about the existence of a hidden mastermind behind a drug organization, and the strongest villain Noh Yoon-gu (played by Kim Tae-woo) appeared, creating tension. At the same time, it was revealed that Oh Yoo-yong (played by Kim Dong-hwi) was alive in a coma on the border between life and death.
When the fact that Kim Wook and Oh Yoo-yong were able to freely enter and exit Soul Village Industrial Complex 3 spread throughout the village, residents desperate for news from the outside flocked to Captain Kang (played by Lee Jeong-eun), who knew all about this, causing an uproar. Accordingly, Kim Wook and Oh Il-yong convened a residents' meeting and calmed public sentiment by asking questions about the outside world. The two then cleared up the misunderstanding of the residents who thought that Captain Kang was alone in listening to news from outside, and it warmed the hearts of the residents who expressed their apologies and gratitude to Captain Kang and became closer to each other.
Among these, the suspicious behavior of principal Jeong Young-jin (played by Jeong Eun-pyo) stood out. Jeong Young-jin told Kim Wook never to go to his house, and then raised questions by tearing up the family relationship certificate. Moreover, the name of his son, who had gone to the United States, was written on the name plate of his house, making people curious about the story.
Meanwhile, Kim Wook convinced the wife of Choi Young-bae (played by Ahn Hyun-bin), a pedophile criminal who was hiding in Industrial Complex 3, to find his body and sublimate Choi Young-bae's soul. He also accelerated the investigation into the drug organization with detective Shin Jun-ho. Kim Wook tells Shin Jun-ho that he contacted Lee Dong-min (played by Lee Yoon-jae), the leader of the killer Jang Do-ri (played by Yoo Il-han), who was imprisoned in prison, who had committed numerous crimes, including kidnapping and murdering his fiancee, Yeo-na Choi (played by Eun-soo Seo), and fled to China. He announced that he was drawing a picture. In particular, after Kim Wook and Shin Jun-ho found out that a drug organization was behind it, the appearance of Noh Yoon-gu (played by Kim Tae-woo), who entered the country, raised tension.
Choi Ha-yoon (played by Kim Seo-heon), a friend of Jang Pan-seok's daughter Hyun-ji, remembered the trauma when she saw the detective soul Go Sang-cheol (played by Nam Hyun-woo). Ko Sang-cheol expressed his fear by saying that she was the same as the woman who killed him 15 years ago by giving her banana milk. Accordingly, Jang Pan-seok and Captain Kang paid attention to the Blue Bird Hope Foundation T-shirt that Go Sang-cheol was wearing, and got closer to the truth surrounding Choi Hayun's death.
At the end of the broadcast, a twist was revealed that Oil Yong was alive. Because he was a living person in a coma, not a missing soul whose body could not be found, he was able to freely enter and leave the inside and outside of the Soul Village Complex 3. Moreover, it was revealed that the woman who repeatedly appeared in Kim Wook's dreams was caring for him while imprisoned, further raising curiosity about what happened to Oil Yong and his secret that is slowly being revealed.
