In the 5th episode of 'Missing 2', Kim Wook (played by Go Soo), Lee Jong-ah (played by Ahn So-hee), and Shin Jun-ho (played by Ha Jun) cooperate to solve the 'kidnapping case of Moon Se-young (played by Lim Seon-woo)', the mother of Moon Bora (played by Choi Myung-bin). It was drawn.
Kim Wook found out through Oh Yoo-yong (played by Kim Dong-hwi) that Go Sang-cheol (played by Nam Hyun-woo), who kidnapped his former lover Moon Se-young, was a drug deliveryman. Detective Shin Jun-ho, who heard this, tried to place Go Sang-cheol on the wanted list, but the drug squad dissuaded him, saying it was a golden opportunity to attack the trading scene of a drug organization led by leader Goliath. However, Goliath changed the location of the transaction, eluded the drug squad, and disappeared leisurely after the transaction.
In this process, the identity of Go Sang-cheol, who kidnapped Moon Se-young and Choi Jeong-ah (played by Oh Yu-na), was revealed. He was an Undercover detective who conducted an undercover investigation into a drug organization. Go Sang-cheol was caught and murdered by drug gang member Lee Gwang-taek (played by Kwon Dong-ho) while trying to inform the drug squad leader of the changed transaction location, and entered the Soul Village 3 Industrial Complex as a resident without his body being found. Ko Sang-cheol's hot sobbing after realizing his death belatedly evoked regret.
Kim Wook, Lee Jong-ah, and Shin Jun-ho worked together to safely rescue Moon Se-young, providing relief. Ko Sang-cheol revealed that Moon Se-young was really in his house, which the drug gang did not know about, and Kim Wook reported this to Shin Jun-ho. Lee Jong-ah sent Go Sang-cheol's video obtained through CCTV hacking to Shin Jun-ho. Thanks to this, Shin Jun-ho arrived at Ko Sang-cheol's house one step earlier than the drug gang members looking for Moon Se-young and succeeded in rescuing Moon Se-young. The image of Goliath adjusting his posture while watching the news that Moon Se-young was found was captured, raising curiosity about Goliath's true identity and the mastermind behind the yet-to-be-revealed kidnapping incident.
A dark gaze was captured looking at the child spirit Alice (played by Kim Tae-yeon). While taking an art class at the lakeside, Alice went alone into the forest, where she came across a wooden boat. At this time, the suspicious look at Alice from afar was followed by the image of Alice sleeping on the boat, heightening anxiety. Ha-yoon Choi (played by Seo-heon Kim) looked at Young-rim Lee's (played by Cheon-moo Lee) picture of a plump pear and called it a 'bad pear', amplifying curiosity about the identity of the pear found in the forest.
Kim Wook and Jang Pan-seok pledged to find the bodies of all the children's souls in Soul Village Industrial Complex 3. While Kim Wook was worried about Jang Pan-seok seeing his daughter's vision, he read a letter from Jang Pan-seok's daughter, Hyun-ji, asking him to 'find all of his friends.' Kim Wook, who saw this, said, "Don't worry. Don't suffer alone and find all your local friends." Kim Wook and Jang Pan-seok looked at each other and smiled, raising expectations for future combination play.
