The 10th episode of 'Missing 2' attracted attention as it showed detective soul Go Sang-cheol (played by Nam Hyun-woo) resolving his resentment and sublimating after the cooperation between Kim Wook (played by Go Soo) and detective Shin Jun-ho (played by Ha Jun). At the same time, Jang Pan-seok (Heo Jun-ho) and Lee Jong-ah (Ahn So-hee) are getting closer to the truth behind the deaths of young souls Choi Ha-yoon (Kim Seo-heon) and Lee Young-rim (Lee Cheon-mu), raising interest.
On this day, Noh Yoon-gu (played by Kim Tae-woo) gave a cold look when Goliath Kim Pil-jung (played by Jeong Yun-jae), the head of a domestic drug organization, told him that he had not yet found the item that disappeared with Oh Yoo-yong three years ago. Afterwards, Kim Pil-joong entered Soul Village Complex 3 and attracted attention as to whether he was murdered by Noh Yun-gu. Moreover, after Kim Pil-jung's death, a new Goliath appeared and the activities of the drug organization resumed, raising curiosity about his identity.
Meanwhile, Oil Yong asked Kim Pil-jung about the location of his body, without even knowing that he was in a coma. However, Kim Pil-joong disappeared, leaving behind only the statement that he did not kill him. Afterwards, Oil Yong burst into tears at the thought that even his last hope was lost. In response, Kim Wook said as if he was pledging, “I will definitely find you.”
Kim Wook and Detective Shin Jun-ho succeeded in resolving and sublimating the sorrow of the unfortunate death of Detective Go Sang-cheol, who was murdered while investigating a drug organization undercover. After hearing the news of Kim Pil-joong's death from Kim Wook, Shin Jun-ho put pressure on Lee Gwang-taek (Kwon Dong-ho), a member of a drug gang imprisoned in a detention center, and found detective Ko Sang-cheol abandoned on the concrete inside the wall of an abandoned house. At this time, Go Sang-cheol shed tears when he heard the news about his parents from Oh Yoo-yong, then expressed his gratitude to the residents of Industrial Complex 3 and slowly sublimated under everyone's gaze.
Jang Pan-seok, along with Lee Jong-ah, began investigating the Blue Bird Hope Foundation, which was suspected of being connected to the criminals who murdered elementary school students Choi Ha-yoon and Lee Young-rim. Lee Jong-ah analyzed all of the volunteers' applications and took a hint from Jang Pan-seok that there was a care worker who left banana milk at the welfare foundation, and found the murderer, Kim Geon-ju (played by Oh Yoon-hong). During this process, thirteen of the elderly people Kim Geon-ju visited died alone, and it was shocking to see that some of the pediatric patients where he worked as a nursing assistant were missing. Remembering his mother who asked him to kill her in the past as her illness worsened, he killed her in the name of giving peace to the poor people. In particular, the sight of Kim Geon-joo calmly continuing his crimes, such as giving drugged banana milk with a syringe to an elderly person who could not eat while volunteering and kidnapping a crying child alone, sent chills down the spine.
Jang Pan-seok was in danger of being killed by Kim Geon-ju. While Jang Pan-seok went to Kim Geon-ju's house alone and asked about Choi Ha-yoon and Lee Young-rim, he drank the tea he gave him and lost consciousness. Kim Geon-ju smiled eerily, saying, "They have already gone to a comfortable place. Teacher Jang, please let go of all your painful memories and go in peace now."
'Missing 2' is creating tension as the truth surrounding the deaths of the residents of Industrial Complex 3, a soul village whose bodies were not found, is revealed one by one, while the strongest villain, Noh Yoon-gu, appears on the scene.
