The Devil
Hae In.
Detective Kang.
Don't come here.
Please just stay there.
I have something to tell you.
12 years ago…
I envied my friends whose parents were there for them during the toughest times.
I was a bad son.
My father never even once supported me.
It's a pathetic excuse,
but that made me more rebellious.
I harassed kids weaker than me.
I beat them up and insulted them.
Then…
I did something I could never take back.
There was a brave kid that told me how cowardly I was.
He was so brave, and I hated him.
But I wanted to be like him.
That's why I killed Tae Hyeon.
The guy I envied so much.
I killed his future.
And I, the cowardly one, survived.
I told myself that things would change if I tried hard.
If I tried my hardest to make the best of my life,
I thought God might forgive me.
He might be…
But now, I don't know…
I don't know if I deserve to live like this.
I don't know what to do.
I really don't know.
What makes me really messed up is that…
My desire…
My desire to catch the bastard who killed Dae Sik…
Won't go away.
What's important…
is the present.
It's not about doing someone good or catching the criminal.
It's about you having faith in your decision and sticking to it.
If you want to forgive yourself,
you have to step into a tunnel, no matter how dark it is.
You're the only person who can save yourself.
Did she show up?
Stay focused, and make no mistakes!
I don't deserve to be a detective or to be forgiven,
but I won't run away.
I'm sorry.
Are we going to your house?
No.
Then where are we going?
A place where someone I like...
and you will also really like lives.
Where is that?
You'll find out.
You're the only person who can save yourself.
The Devil
- Episode 8-
What's up?
I need to ask your mother a huge favor.
Sora, say hi…
Hello.
Oh… hello..
Do you know the reason?
For what?
Why Detective Kang is resigning.
I don't know.
- Detective Yi! - Did she come?
No.
Sora's mom is coming tomorrow night,
but I have to go to work,
and my office manager's wife is out of town,
so I didn't have anywhere to go.
I came to ask for your help.
I thought of you.
I'm glad you did.
How's Sora?
She fell asleep.
I think she was really tired.
I'm sorry for asking such a favor so abruptly.
No, it's not a problem.
I enjoy playing with kids.
Thank you.
Your home is really nice. It's comfortable and cozy.
Do you live alone?
Yeah.
Do your parents live in Seoul?
No.
I should get going.
Why don't you have dinner with us tomorrow?
I'll be your cook.
Okay. Thank you.
Go inside.
Where's my daughter! Where is she!
Where's my daughter!
Hae In…
What are you thinking?
I need to call Detective Kang.
Detective Kang Oh Soo?
Yeah.
Miss Kim Jeong Yeon.
Who are you?
I'm from the police department.
You're being arrested for the murder of Yoon Dae Sik.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to speak an attorney.
Take her.
No, I didn't do it on purpose!
You can testify at the police station.
I knew you'd come.
Yes, Hae In…
Where are you?
Hae In said you were looking for Sora's mother.
I was.
Are you sure it's her?
Yeah, I'm sure.
What happened?
Why were you taking care of Sora?
First,
I'd like to know why the police are looking for Sora's mother.
I told him to ask you.
Kim Jeong Yeong is a prime suspect of Yoon Dae Sik's murder.
She is a murder suspect?
Yes.
Does that mean you have evidence?
Her fingerprints were found on the pepper spray used as the weapon.
She was arrested just a while ago.
You found Sora's mother?
She's on her way to the station.
Will you please explain what happened?
I coincidentally met Sora.
There are no coincidences in this case.
Every event is occurs one at a time, based on a thoroughly planned-out scheme.
So you must be confident about this case, too.
You believe this is the revenge for the murder case 12 years ago.
I'm sorry. It wasn't a murder.
I hope you're not offended.
Mr. Cha asked me to postpone Mr. Jo Dong Sub's first plea.
He had to tell me about that case.
So I hope you don't have any harsh feelings against Mr. Cha, too.
It doesn't matter.
What I want to know is why you're involved in all the cases.
That's what I want to find out.
Are you thinking I have something to do with the manipulator of the cases?
I just want to know how you met Sora.
Sora's mother is a murder suspect for Yoon Dae Sik's death?
Yeah, that's why I called you.
Oh Soo went to see Lawyer Oh since he's with Sora.
What's going on? Do you know anything?
Sweetie...
Why are you crying?
Did you lose your mommy?
Mr. Cha…
Everything was planned.
We were set up to meet Sora.
What?
You mean someone left Sora at the station on purpose for you to find her.
Is that how the story goes?
But how did he know you and Mr. Cha were coming to the station that day?
Mr. Cha said…
someone's trying to get everyone involved in the case 12 years ago together.
He said I was used in order to get him involved in this case.
There are many other ways to get Mr. Cha involved without using you.
Why do you think he chose you?
Perhaps it's like a consideration.
Consideration?
He would need a lawyer to help the people he has used.
You pleaded self-defense for Jo Dong Sub knowing that?
I don't care what the criminal intended.
My argument was based on actual facts.
You could've postponed the trial a bit.
It's not fair to my client.
Your self-defense was approved for the same reasons.
I'm sure you understand what I'm saying better than anyone else.
Is there anything else you'd like to ask?
If someone did choose you,
It's possible that it's someone you know.
No matter how meticulous he is, I'm sure he has a weak spot.
Is there anyone that you can think of?
You're the only person who knows the truth about the case 12 years ago,
which means you're the only person who's most likely to be near the criminal.
Excuse me...
Sora must have seen his face.
He was with her for about three to four hours until she was left at the station.
I'm sure he disguised himself.
But I think he could've left a clue.
Why do you think so?
He's been exposing the evidence that he want to expose.
It's like he's giving directions to where he is.
That's why I'm thinking we can find out something from Sora.
Didn't Sora say who she was with?
She only said she was with a nice guy.
I didn't ask anything else.
A nice guy?
Yeah, that's exactly what she said.
She called him a nice guy.
Maybe it's someone Sora…
What's wrong?
Are you going to do the first interrogation deposition yourself?
- Do you trust Oh Soo? - What?
Will you be able to trust him no matter what you hear about him?
Of course.
That's all that matters.
Someone was spying on us.
Someone might be following you,
so you always have to be careful, okay?
Don't worry.
Let's go.
I'll take you home.
I'll take her home.
You have a lot to do.
It's part of my job to protect Hae In.
I worry about Hae In as much as you do.
This is both flattering and awkward.
I'm flattered that both of you worry about me,
but I'm not used to having men protect me,
so it's kind of awkward.
I'll go with Lawyer Oh.
You really do have a lot to do.
I'll call you if I think of anyone.
Okay. I'll call you.
Take care.
Remember what I said.
Always be careful.
I will.
I worry about Hae In as much as you do.
I have a question.
How did you know Sora was Kim Jeong Yeon's daughter?
Oh, that?
It's hard to just guess by her name.
It's confidential,
so I can't tell you.
Sora can stay with us.
Thank you.
I'll consult with her mother about where Sora should stay when I meet her.
Yeah.
Are you considering representing her?
What do you think I should do?
I think you should.
She's a victim too after all.
Take care.
Aren't you scared?
Aren't you scared to be involved in a murder?
I am,
but I want to stop him.
The reason why he left my tarot cards at the crime scene and sent me one too…
doesn't feel like he's just using me.
Then what?
He must be in pain.
It feels like he's asking me to stop him from making more victims.
What makes you think that way?
He's trapped in a dark tunnel.
It's like the story of the brother waiting for his sister in the dark tunnel.
The person behind all this is waiting for someone to come and release him.
I don't know what I can do,
but I want to stop him.
Bye.
Good night.
Sora!
When did you wake up?
Where's my mommy?
I miss my mommy.
She'll be back in a couple of days.
Do you want to hear a story?
The little sister went into the tunnel to look for her brother.
The tunnel was dark, damp, slippery, and spooky.
She began to run.
As she ran out of breath, she found an empty place.
There she found someone standing hardened as a stone.
It was her brother.
The sister began to cry.
"What am I going to do? I must have come too late."
She embraced the cold hard stone and began to cry.
Suddenly, the stone changed colors and became soft and warm.
It changed into her brother.
Her brother said with a big smile on his face, "I knew you'd come for me."
Hey, Suk Jin...
What was it you were talking about?
Why is someone who killed Dae Sik coming after me and Sun Ki?
And what's this about a tarot card?
It's hard to explain over the phone.
I'll see you tomorrow and tell you.
What is it?
I'll tell you in person.
Do you know what Kim Yeong Chul does for a living?
Yeong Chul from high school?
Yeah.
I don't know.
But I did bump into him recently.
Where?
At a book store.
Why do you ask?
We'll talk tomorrow.
I had no intention of killing him.
You went to see Yoon Dae Sik, thinking he kidnapped your daughter.
You felt threatened, and the incident happened by accident?
Yes.
What made you think Sora was kidnapped?
Mr. Yoon always threatened to kidnap Sora if I didn't pay him back.
And when I went to his office,
I saw Sora's doll on his desk.
A doll?
Yeah, Sora's doll.
The doll was found at his office.
Why are you all mad at me?
Man, this coughing is killing me.
- Anyway, I'm going to meet Sun Ki and… - Are you at your office?
Are you coming over?
I'll be right there, so hold onto the delivery.
Okay.
You scared me!
Don't you have any manners?
Where's my daughter?
What daughter?
I'm busy. You have my money?
Are you nuts?
Where's Sora?
Did you bring my money?!
Please…
Please, tell me where Sora is.
I'll do whatever you want!
I don't want anything from you.
All I want is my money.
I'll give you your money if you give me my daughter!
Why are you asking me for your daughter?!
What are you going to do to her, you bastard?!
- You're out of your mind. - Where's my daughter?
- Where is she?! - Let go of me.
Where's my daughter?!
Why are you asking me for your daughter?
Give me my daughter. Where is she?!
I sold her for candy!
Man, you maniacs won't leave me alone, huh?
What the…
Where's Sora?
What are you doing?
Sora was here. I know it!
Are you on something?
You're not even a human being.
People like you won't let me live like a human being.
What are you going to do with that toy gun?
What the heck is this?
Where is she?
What is this?
I really didn't think he'd die.
The criminal set up Dae Sik to look as if he kidnapped Sora.
He then left Sora at the police station.
And Mr. Gwang Doo and Lawyer Oh found her?
I spoke with Gwang Doo.
Yeah, it's me.
Sora has the same doll found at the crime scene.
So the doll at the scene was bait.
Bait?
Kim Jeong Yeon saw the doll at the office and believed Sora had been kidnapped.
I saw an image of the person who gave Sora the doll.
Sora said he was a nice guy,
so she might have met him before.
You mean it's the guy who gave her the doll
and left her in front of the police station?
I think so.
Like you said, there might be some clues in the doll.
Okay.
Where did Sora get the doll?
It was a present.
Do you know who gave it to her?
No, I don't.
Sora just said he was a nice guy.
Any characteristics?
Did he limp or wear black leather gloves?
No.
She just said he was wearing a suit.
Then, Sora will be able to recognize him, right?
Probably.
Do you still have the delivery box?
Delivery?
You had the pepper spray delivered.
No, I bought it myself.
Why is she lying?
I don't know.
The store owner told us you had it delivered.
No.
Mr. Yoon kept threatening me, so I bought the pepper spray myself.
Where did you buy it?
Off the internet.
Your pepper spray is a contraband product, so it's not sold online.
You know who sent it, don't you?
That's why you're saying you bought it yourself.
Who is it?
I don't know.
It's not a crime to send a package.
You can tell us the truth.
Who sent it?
You have to tell us the truth for Sora's sake.
Who sent it?
My husband.
Did he tell you he'd send it?
I didn't get to talk to him.
But his name and address were written on the box.
Do you know the address?
That's right...
I'm the Wizard of Oz.
Sweetie...
Why are you crying?
Why are you playing by yourself?
Will you be able to recognize him?
Yeah, I have someone in mind.
Okay.
Thanks.
Where are you going?
You made us do all the work,
so you should do all the paperwork.
Can I ask you a favor?
A favor?
I'm looking for someone.
[Graduation Album: Seonjin High School, Class of 1997]
When did you come?
I'm leaving.
Hey, Oh Soo!
He had to run.
I want you to privately find out what he's been up to.
What do you mean?
Don't you know your brother well enough?
I'm sure something has happened to him.
Find out what it is.
Okay.
Yeah.
Detective Kang.
Did you sleep well?
You look like you haven't slept at all.
Here.
Is he the man you saw in your vision?
I don't know…
I didn't really see his face.
Do you have a photo of him recently?
I could recognize that.
No, I don't.
I think it's him.
You might have to identify him for us later.
Okay.
Did you guys go to the same school?
Yeah.
He was so foolish and naïve.
I gave him a tough time.
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
For what?
I'm sorry for getting you involved in this case.
And thank you for helping me even after you heard my story.
I'm just doing my job.
I've got to go. I'll call you.
Take care, Detective Kang.
Thanks.
At your brother's?
I can't burden Hae In's mother.
I know my brother will take good care of Sora.
You're thinking of representing Kim Jeong Yeon?
Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
By the way, Jeong Tae Hyun had a younger brother.
His mother passed away.
His brother is his only family.
I see.
It's dangerous to jump to conclusions,
but it's possible for the brother to be behind everything.
The victim's family would feel the most resentful.
Then, Jeong Tae Hyun's brother will possibly solve the case.
I think so.
I need you to find someone for me.
I'll give you his social security number.
Check if he has a cell phone.
His name is Kim Yeong Chul. His social security number is…
The person who killed Dae Sik is after you and Sun Ki?
Yes.
How come?
I don't know yet.
Oh Soo is going to tell me today.
I want you to report to me.
I will.
Hey.
Okay. I'll be down in a minute.
Oh, it is you.
Aren't you Suk Jin's girlfriend?
Don't you remember me?
I'm Suk Jin's friend.
We met at his place last time.
Did you come to see Suk Jin? I did, too.
It's good to see you here.
I've been asking him to introduce you to me.
He didn't really set a date.
Why don't we all have dinner tonight?
Excuse me, I need to go to the ladies' room.
Sure.
Hello, Sir.
She said she was in the lobby.
Who did?
Maybe she's in the car.
I guess so.
See you.
Bye.
Your girlfriend's here.
She went to the bathroom.
Meet me at the cafe.
Are you seeing someone?
No, I'm not.
We'll see how long this lasts.
How dare you ignore me like that.
It's me.
Okay.
She went to the bathroom.
Kim Yeong Chul doesn't have a cell phone under his name.
His social security address is his parents' house.
So you didn't find anything?
You know me.
I checked his medical insurance provided by his company.
Hello?
Keep going.
He works for a book publishing company called Gil.
Gil?
Yeah.
How is Kim Yeong Chul involved in this case?
Isn't Gil the same company as Issue & Issue that Seong Jun Pyo works for?
Right, it is.
What do you mean?
Man, I wasted my time.
Why?
I checked the address Kim Jeong Yeon gave me.
It was a mountain.
What mountain?
Just an ordinary mountain full of pine trees.
I'm still looking for her husband.
Her husband didn't send the delivery.
His name was just used.
Kim Jeong Yeon would've been suspicious if a stranger sent the pepper spray.
This guy's really meticulous.
What's this about the book publishing company?
So that's how the story goes?
We found the motive.
And it's the publishing company of Issue & Issue?
Yeah, it also matches the man Hae In saw.
We can't use that as evidence.
We need evidence to get a search warrant.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to let Sora and Kim Yeong Chul confront each other.
Hae In saw a man's face, so she can also identify him.
We'll have to find any kind of substantial evidence.
The confrontation is a bad idea.
Sora's still a child.
I'm looking for another way around it.
We have one more suspect.
Jeong Tae Hyun's younger brother.
Jeong Tae Hyun's mother died and his brother disappeared after the trial.
Did you know about this?
I went to see him once but didn't get to meet him.
How did you know?
Mr. Mo In Ho and Gwang Doo came to see me.
In Ho was sent a photo of Jeong Tae Hyun and an article about Jo Dong Sub.
I see.
We've narrowed it down to two suspects.
But we have one problem.
We can't hide the motive of this case forever.
Teamwork is what makes our team arrest criminals.
We have to have to tell the other team members.
I'm prepared for it.
We might have to take you off the case.
We've arrested Yoon Dae Sik's murderer…
And gotten her first statement.
But it's not the end of this case.
As you all know,
A serial murderer might be behind all this.
But we've arrested the criminals of each case,
And according to their testimony, they weren't ordered to kill anyone.
I don't think we can conclude that this is a serial murder case.
I agree.
Even if we do arrest the person behind all this,
we can't charge him for any crime right now.
That's why we need evidence.
What did Chief say?
Our team is in charge of this case.
Our team's opinion comes first.
We need to open up all the possibilities in this case.
It might help us if we knew the motive.
We know the motive.
You already knew?
Yeah.
I'm involved in Mr. Gwon and Dae Sik's death…
Detective Kang, will you give us a moment?
No, I think I should tell them.
I think I should do it. Give us a minute.
I was on my way to ask you if I could meet Kim Jeong Yeon.
Is that true?
Yes, it is.
When?
Two or three months after Jeong Tae Hyun's trial.
Okay, thank you for calling.
Hello, Mr. Mo...
Hey, how's your farm?
It's good, thanks to you.
Thanks to you, our students get to eat quality food.
I'm flattered.
I'm thankful that you chose our farm.
Why don't you stop by sometime?
Okay.
I have no doubt that Detective Kang will leave out his personal emotions.
But the team's opinion is important, and I will follow your decision.
Whatever decision we make,
this case will strictly be private.
Thank you.
Welcome...
Aren't these tarot cards?
Yeah, we made them ourselves.
I heard Seo Hae In made these.
Do you know Hae In?
A little bit.
He asked about me?
Yeah.
What does he do?
He never said.
He kept asking about you.
What did you tell him?
I didn't tell him anything.
Shouldn't you tell Detective Kang about this?
I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
Did the suspect tell you anything different?
No, it matches her first statement.
I'll attend the second statement with other related evidence.
Okay.
May I ask you a favor?
I need Sora's testimony.
I was going to ask Sora about Yoon Dae Sik threatening her mother.
I will have her testify officially.
But this time, it's going to be off the record.
What do you mean by off the record?
I need you to bring Sora when I call you.
I need to see if the suspect we have in mind is the same man Sora remembers.
As Ms. Kim's lawyer,
I can't allow you to let Sora confront the suspect.
I'm not going to make her confront the suspect.
I'm asking to see you in private because I don't have a warrant right now.
I understand,
but without any protection for Sora, my answer is the same.
I'll come up with something.
I need your help.
If you promise Sora's safety,
I'm willing to cooperate.
Thank you.
Who is the suspect?
I can't tell you.
Yes, Chief Ban.
The team has agreed to keep you on the case,
but you have to know that people had different opinions.
I know.
Thank you, Sir.
What did I do?
You're asking me?
Why were you hesitating, huh?
Be objective.
It's hard to have the cause of the motive to be in the investigation.
I'm subjective, so I don't know.
I only know that Oh Soo is the best detective we have.
I know that,
but after I heard his story, I felt kind of uneasy.
He was released for self-defense.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Enough!
Don't forget this is a private case.
And don't act weird around Oh Soo.
Or else you'll be dead meat.
Come on, I like Detective Kang too.
What are you guys doing here?
Having coffee without me? That's messed up.
Should I get you one?
No, I'm just kidding.
It's just a matter of time. We'll get him.
Don't worry.
I know you guys feel uncomfortable.
Who is? We're not.
I know I should back off, but I need to solve this case.
I hope you guys understand.
We do.
Thanks.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to go home with you.
You don't have to worry about me.
I never said I was worried about you.
I asked to go home with you.
Let's go.
Go in.
Aren't you coming in?
My mom invited you for dinner.
Tell her I'll come next time.
Tell her I said sorry.
Do you have other plans?
I have to meet someone.
Oh, well.
Thank you for the ride home. Take care.
What an unexpected place to meet you, Reporter Seong.
May I ask where Mr. Kim Yeong Chul is?
He's inside.
What are you talking about?
I didn't know, either.
Why don't you come here? We should talk in person.
Excuse me.
Hey, Yeong Chul.
This is a passage from Dante's Divine Comedy.
Maybe it's Sun Ki.
He always said we ruined his life.
I'm not telling you to suspect your friends.
Keep all the possibilities open.
Someone dies.
Find out when and how his younger brother died.
I think I should stop reading the images from the evidence.
I'll let the evidence lead me to where the criminal wants me to find him.
I'll follow him to hell if that's how far I have to go.
Yeong Chul!
