The Devil
No,
My name is Seung Ha.
What did you just say?
I think you need to know something first.
What is it?
The man behind everything is way out of your league
Because he's no longer alive.
What do you mean?
I miss you,
Seung Ha.
Episode 11
You're fighting against a dead man, so the result is pretty obvious.
I don't have time to joke around.
For your own sake, you should tell me everything you know.
I do know one thing for sure.
I know for a fact that Congressman Kang Dong Hyun's son, Kang Oh Su is a murderer.
And that Jung Tae Hoon's ghost is choking Kang Oh Su's neck.
How would you feel if you were him?
He was killed for no reason
And the murderer was released for self-defense.
Also his mother and brother died in car accidents.
I don't think I'd be able to die in peace.
Who knows? He might've risen from his grave.
Just answer my questions.
You received a delivery, didn't you?
Yeah, so what?
Do you have the tarot card with you right now?
Tarot card?
You got a tarot card, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
What?
I never got a tarot card.
It was the same tarot card that you got.
That can't be true.
You must've gotten a tarot card.
Believe it or not, I didn't get one.
What's wrong with you?
I already checked that you got a delivery.
Yes, I did.
But there was nothing in it.
You mean it was empty?
Yeah, it was an empty box.
Why are you lying to me?
You think other people lie since you're a liar yourself, huh?
You don't possibly think that I wrote the article favoring Kang Dong Hyun
Even after knowing the truth of the incident 12 years ago, do you?
I made a mistake back then.
I'm different from you.
Please, leave if you're done with your questions.
The card is a warning for death.
We're talking about your life here!
I appreciate your concern, but I didn't get a tarot card.
Look.
Don't you think it's funny for a man like you to become a detective to chase after bad guys?
I don't need your protection.
I'm scared of you more than anyone else.
You've already killed someone once.
You can do it again.
You can't hide your nature.
I guess blood is thicker than water.
You can laugh at me,
Despise me and criticize me as much as you want.
I don't know why you're doing this,
But I'm not going to let you just die...
Because I'm a detective,
And that's my duty to do so.
Go tell your father.
What goes around, comes around.
I know that Kang Oh Su is a murderer.
You haven't changed at all.
You're still so messed up.
He's captured in the 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.
You just do as I say.
I'm going to tell the truth.
I'm going to tell them it was an accident!
Are you even lying to me?
It's true.
All your friends saw you!
It really was an accident, Dad.
I caused the whole thing, but it really was an accident.
You're so pathetic.
I don't care.
I won't allow my son to be sent to juvenile detention.
Everything's been taken care of, so you stay quiet.
This is not what I wanted!
Then what is it that you want?
Do you want to disgrace your father and live the rest of your life as a failure?
This is not a problem only concerning you.
Go!
I'm going to tell the truth.
I'm going to tell them it was an accident.
You're pathetic.
You can't do anything on your own.
What were you going to do with this?
You're so pathetic!
Do you even know how to use a knife?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Tae Hoon.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry.
Tae Sung!
Did you wait long?
No. Have you thought of mom's birthday present?
I think we should get her a ring.
A ring?
Mom doesn't have a ring.
It'll be a good birthday present.
I wanted to get her a music box.
We'll get her both.
But we don't have enough money.
My part-time job will pay off.
We'll buy a silver ring and put it inside a music box.
Hyung, you worked so hard to make that money. Is it okay?
It was for mom's birthday present.
I'll buy the peppermint candy tomorrow.
What for?
Mom said she can't digest food without her peppermint candy.
Then she should see a doctor.
It won't be that expensive.
I'll make sure she does.
Should we give money to her instead, so she can go to a hospital?
A present is a present.
You're right.
Don't worry. I'll take her to the hospital, okay?
Alright.
What's wrong?
This is my favorite song.
You want me to buy you a tape?
It's expensive. Don't.
I'll buy you one.
It's okay.
I like listening to it like this.
Mom.
What's happened?
What happened to Tae Hoon?
Tae Sung.
What are we going to do?
My poor Tae Hoon!
What are we going to do?
My poor Tae Hoon...
My sweet son...
My Tae Hoon...
Oh, my...
No, this can't be true.
My Tae Hoon can't be dead.
He can't be.
No! He can't be!
Mom, come on.
Mom!
He can't be...
Mom, come on. Mom!
Mom.
Mom!
We've got a problem.
What is it?
He's not much of a threat
But small problems become big.
It's good to take precautions.
Yes, sir.
Keep an eye on him.
Don't let him find out.
By the way, I'm a pacifist.
Don't cause any trouble by making a bad move.
I'll keep that in mind.
Mr. Kang.
You didn't spend the night here, did you?
No, I just got here.
Did you get another tarot card?
No.
I called you yesterday.
Right, Mr. Oh told me.
I forgot.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
I saw a different image from the book, Dante's Divine Comedy.
A different image?
Yeah.
So you mean two deliveries were made simultaneously?
I think so.
I think the criminal left the tarot card in the book at the library himself.
That's why I saw his images from both the book and tarot card.
Then is it possible for Sung Joon Pyo to not have gotten a tarot card?
Isn't Sung Joon Pyo the man you mentioned last time?
Yeah. I found the convenience store you saw in your image.
The receiver was Sung Joon Pyo.
But he keeps saying he got an empty box.
In my images,
I saw the same card that was sent to you.
And I saw a photo from the book.
A photo?
Yeah.
What kind was it?
It was a photo of a man and a woman.
You didn't know the people in it?
No, I didn't.
I can't say my images are accurate.
But I'm positive that Sung Joon Pyo is hiding something.
It doesn't make sense that he got an empty box.
I need to find out who the photo was sent to.
If I find that person, I'll figure out what it has to do with Sung Joon Pyo.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Where were you last night?
Mr. Oh said you fell asleep.
Actually...
You don't have to tell me if it's personal.
I was at the hospital.
Why?
Are you sick?
Did you faint?
You said you could faint if you overdid it.
Did you?
I get better after a night's sleep.
See? I'm fine.
Why did you faint if you're fine?
I'm really okay, so you don't have to worry about me.
How can I not?
Forget about tarot cards or anything else from this moment.
Get some rest.
Go straight home after work, eat and sleep.
You hear me?
No.
I have to work, watch TV, talk with my mom...
I'm a busy girl.
Hae In.
I'll be careful,
So don't worry.
Here.
It's pretty handy for self-protection.
Keep it with you just in case.
Here.
Thanks.
I've got to run.
Get going.
Okay.
It works pretty well.
Call me.
Did you say he graduated in 1995?
Yeah.
Here it is.
Thank you.
(Jung Tae Sung)
Why isn't there a photo of him?
There isn't?
Jung Tae Sung's photo is missing.
What happened?
I don't know.
Maybe he didn't take the graduation photo.
Does his teacher still work at this school?
No.
Do you have photos in the student records?
Yes.
You have a delivery.
I'll take it.
A yellow envelope...
He doesn't have a photo in his student record?
No, he doesn't. There should be one.
I don't know why there isn't.
How meticulous.
Pardon?
Nothing. Thank you.
Sure.
You're here.
Are you feeling better?
Yeah. Did you come to see books?
Did you have lunch?
I came to have lunch with you.
Remember you promised to have a meal with me?
You paid for the hospital yesterday.
Today's lunch is on me.
You know how to make things straight.
This is the best restaurant in town.
Is it?
Try it. The food's really good.
That's not how you eat it.
First add the rice and...
put some of the soup in it.
That's enough. Or else it'll be too salty.
You just have to mix it up now.
You listen better than I thought.
Are you going back to the library?
No.
Then you should go from here.
It's closer to the parking lot.
Take care.
Thank you.
You helped me remember how to eat a good meal.
There are a lot of good restaurants here.
I'll take you out for lunch again.
I'm not going to eat with you again.
See you.
What's wrong with you?
I just want to say hi to Hee Soo.
Hello, sir.
What do you want?
I just stopped by.
I'm busy.
Go have a cup of tea with Suk Jin.
Let's go.
I know you're busy.
I just wanted to say hi.
Sun Ki.
I'm going to go, man.
I'll see you later, sir.
Bye.
When are you going to introduce me to your wife?
Someday.
It's rude for me to not even know what she looks like.
Should I stop by tonight?
What's wrong with you?
I just want to introduce myself to her. Is there anything wrong with that?
You must be close to her, right?
Why do you want to meet my wife all of a sudden?
I was just wondering if she was someone I knew.
What do you mean?
Why, you know,
I have this feeling that I might've met her before.
Don't be silly. Get going.
I'm planning to get serious soon.
I'll see you later.
Why are you just standing there?
I'm sorry.
For what?
For bothering you with Sun Ki.
I'll get going.
Are you looking for me?
You made me see you in a different light.
Aigoo, I thought you were such a gentleman,
But it looks like you like to party.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't?
Do I have to prove it to you?
What do you mean?
I have proof to show that you and Oh Soo's sister-in-law is having an affair.
You know I'm a man of justice.
Was it you?
Did you send the photo and the deliveries?
Think whatever you want.
How could you do this?
How could you let Dae Sik die?
Are you really behind all this?
Was it your scheme?
Why? Why on earth did you do all this?
Think whatever you want.
You bastard.
You're the bastard!
Don't get mad at other people for the mistake you made.
How could you have an affair with your best friend's sister-in-law?
You know this is ridiculous.
Love? Love is good.
Honestly,
I believe adultery can be love.
But not with your best friend's sister-in-law.
Man, I wonder how Oh Soo will react when he finds out.
What do you want?
You must have a reason for doing this!
The Jeju Island casino.
What?
I need your help to put me in charge of the casino.
I don't have that kind of authority.
Don't act so humble.
I know you're Oh Soo's dad's right arm.
Everyone knows that.
It's out of my league.
You've got the brains.
I'll give you some time, so figure something out.
Knock, for the door shall open.
Seek, for you shall gain your need.
Later.
This isn't it.
There's no convenience store.
This is going to take more than a week.
We need to do a scientific investigation.
This is real scientific investigation.
We're doing it with all five senses.
Yeah, it's me.
Oh Soo...
What's wrong?
I need to talk to you.
Go ahead.
Not over the phone.
We need to talk in person.
Alright, I'll call you later.
Who was it?
Where are we going next?
What made you call home?
Did I not call that often?
I'm just kidding.
What's up?
Shall we dine out tonight?
I found a great seafood restaurant.
Didn't you have an engagement?
I called it off.
I'll make reservations. Meet me at the hotel.
Okay.
There was an "Under Construction" sign in front.
A man in an orange safety vest and a helmet took the box
inside the convenience store.
I think he sent it.
Excuse me.
May I ask a few questions?
When did you begin the construction?
It's been a few days. Why?
The worker asked to send the box was wearing a thick silver bracelet.
Someone handed him the box.
Did someone ask you to send a box?
(Text) To: Kim Sun Ki
Could the receiver not have gotten it yet?
He lives in Seoul, so he should've gotten it a couple of days ago.
You said the maniac sends tarot cards, not photos, right?
Did you get a tarot card?
No,
I was just wondering if you found out something.
Oh Soo.
It's the same man wearing sunglasses and a white-hair wig.
Isn't he your friend?
What about Sung Joon Pyo?
He went home late last night and hasn't come back yet.
He hasn't been using his phone at all.
He must think we're bugging him.
Reporter Sung Joon Pyo?
Yeah.
What did he ask about?
He asked about the hit-and-run case,
Saying he's investigating the victim's family.
I see.
Are you here to see Hae In?
No.
Over here.
Hi, would you like something to drink?
Later. We have something to discuss.
Okay, then.
What is it you wanted to tell me?
I think Sun Ki is the man behind everything.
Do you have any other reasons other than what you told me last time?
Not really.
You must have a reason to be so certain.
It's just a feeling.
Are you suspecting your friend based on a feeling?
Both of you are here.
What's going on?
I told him to come. I have something to ask him.
This is a weird place.
Why did you want to meet up here?
This place is weird.
It's a tarot cafe.
Tarot cards...
How does this place even stay in business?
Why did you want to see me?
You got a delivery, right?
No.
You didn't?
No, I didn't.
Why are you lying?
Lying?
I checked that you got a delivery.
You did get something!
Why are you saying that you didn't?
Oh, that?
I forgot.
I did get something.
I told you to call me immediately when something gets delivered to you.
Actually...
Explain to me why you just lied to me.
Man, what a temper.
I did get something, but it was nothing.
That's why I forgot.
What was it?
A photo.
What kind of photo?
Just a man and a woman together.
Where is that photo?
I threw it away.
Why the heck did you do that?
Let go of me!
After all I told you, why did you throw it away?
I don't get it.
You're hiding something from me.
Tell me the truth. Now!
What am I hiding?
A lot of people can get hurt.
Stop messing with me and tell me the truth!
Oh Soo, let go of him.
Tell me, now!
I saw it with my two eyes.
Sun Ki!
I saw Kang Oh Soo stab Jung Tae Hoon with a knife.
No matter how strongly you say it was an accident,
I saw what happened.
Just tell me one thing.
Are you involved in this case or not?
Why don't you let go of me, Detective Kang?
Answer me!
You got the wrong man. It's not me.
Then why are you doing this?
What did I do?
Someone sent me a photo. I threw it away because it was nothing.
What's so wrong with that?
I'm warning you.
If you treat me like this one more time,
I'm going to tell your little secret.
Remember that the statute of limitations isn't over for the case 12 years ago?
Suit yourself. I won't stop you.
You watch your back.
The people you trust most are most likely to stab your back.
This is ridiculous.
Sun Ki might be telling the truth.
No.
What kind of photo could it be?
Do you have any idea?
No.
You don't think it's Sun Ki who's manipulating all this?
Considering the circumstances, it's hardly possible that it's him.
He didn't seem to know about this cafe.
Is that why you told him to meet you here?
Yeah.
But I'm positive he's hiding something.
Hello.
I need to talk to you. Come home.
I'm on a case right now.
It's something about your case, so come home right now.
It was really hard to find you.
You're not even on the alumni list.
I had a lot of trouble finding you.
I could've asked Oh Soo,
But it's kind of awkward to ask him.
You haven't changed at all.
I'll be able to recognize you on the street.
What do you want?
Is it really you?
What do you mean?
The whole delivery prank.
Is it really you?
What are you talking about?
It's not you, right?
I have to go. Get out of my way.
Just making sure.
I knew you didn't have the guts.
Move it.
I don't have time to waste on a jerk like you.
A jerk?
Yeah, a jerk.
You don't know what I know, do you?
I know why you didn't tell on us.
I don't think Oh Soo does,
But I do.
Our moms were pretty close friends.
So don't act like you're the only victim because we're on the same boat.
I'll stop by your parents' restaurant some time.
It's me.
I saw the man from my images in front of Galanthus.
In front of the cafe?
Yeah, I followed him...
What, you followed him?
You could've gotten hurt.
Nothing happened.
Hae In.
I saw him meet Kim Yeong Chul.
Yeong Chul?
Yeah.
Was the guy you saw skinny and have his hair in a ponytail?
Yeah, do you know him?
Yeah, he's my friend.
Did you hear their conversation?
No,
It didn't appear like they planned to meet.
He looked like he was threatening Kim Yeong Chul.
Threatening?
Yeah.
I want you to take a cab and go home right now.
I'll call you later.
Aren't you going home?
I will.
You know Jo Dong Sub's trial is coming up soon.
I know.
I think it's going to be the final trial.
I should prepare the plea report.
That's a good idea.
Well...
It appears like Sung Joon Pyo is digging up the case from 12 years ago.
I went to ask my colleague about Jung Tae Sung's cause of death.
He said someone came to see him after I left.
And it was Sung Joon Pyo?
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
I found him following Hae In.
What?
Did he know about Hae In's secret?
Secret?
Hae In has a secret?
It's not really a secret,
But I can't tell you.
I'm sorry.
This is what I like about you.
Secrets are easily told to close acquaintances.
But a secret's always safe with you.
Do you have a secret?
Everyone has a secret.
That's true.
Did you find out how Jung Tae Hoon's brother died?
It was a hit-and-run.
Sung Joon Pyo went questioning the people at the police station that got the report.
I see.
It's me.
You are one boy I can't trust.
You should've told me when all this happened.
Why do I have to find out after everything happened?
I want you off the case.
Quit your job.
I caused this case.
That's why I'm telling you to quit!
The harder you try to find out, the bigger you'll make the case.
Quit being a detective and...
Stay with your mom for awhile.
I can't run away like that.
If this is why you called me, I'll get going.
It's for your own sake!
Then trust me on this.
How can I?
This wouldn't have ever happened if you stayed out of trouble.
We can't do anything about the past.
But we have to keep this quiet.
That's what you were worried about.
Just do as I say.
It's for everyone's sake.
Quitting my job won't solve anything.
It might affect you,
But I can't run away.
I'm sorry.
I was going to go this weekend,
But I can't.
Something came up.
I'll go as soon as possible.
Thanks for doing me the favor.
No problem.
I needed time to fix up Sora's room, anyway.
Okay.
You take care.
Alright, I'll see you then.
Man...
I didn't know there was another one.
I gave you a chance,
But you ended up choosing this one.
This is Oh Seung Ha.
I've got something to tell you.
Do you have time right now?
Detective Kang.
Have a seat.
Have a drink.
I'm even glad to see you tonight.
It doesn't taste so good to drink alone.
You seem pretty drunk.
Me?
Dae Sik drank soju like it tasted so good.
Did something happen?
You don't really like me, right?
You think it's funny to see a bad guy like me go after other bad guys, right?
I think the same, anyway.
Why won't you give up the case?
Wouldn't you be better off giving up?
I can't do that.
Why not?
Because I want to see his face.
I have something to tell him.
What do you have to say?
I believe people are born with a good heart.
I'm sure he was born with a good nature.
But...
I made him into a bad guy.
Never mind.
Anyway, I'm going to chase him to the end.
No matter what other people say,
I'm going to make him stand in the court of law.
I don't care if I deserve to arrest him or not.
I guess people's strong points
Rather than their weaknesses
Do make them jump into a bigger misfortune.
Like Oedipus.
What?
If Oedipus had a slightly weaker will, he could've prevented a greater tragedy.
But he didn't give up,
Just like you.
You're a philosopher.
But that's what I like about you.
Your persistent competitiveness is your strong point.
Let's have another drink.
I have a trial tomorrow.
I see.
That's too bad.
I'll see you later.
Oh, by the way.
Didn't you have something to tell me?
What is it?
You seem pretty drunk.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
I'm fine. You can tell me now.
I'll stop by the station.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Alright, then.
I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
Someone's outside.
Is it Detective Kang again?
Yeah.
No, don't go.
Do you know what time it is?
I'll be right back.
Mr. Kang.
Have you been drinking?
Did something happen?
I think...
I'm changing.
I can't trust anyone.
I can't even trust my friends.
Everyone seems like my enemy.
Everyone seems like they're deceiving me.
The hatred for the criminal grows bigger inside me.
I know why he's doing all this.
I hate him,
But I'm becoming just like him.
No,
I'm not changing.
Maybe,
I was born like this.
I was born with an ugly heart.
I lived a fake life.
I thought...
God would grant me forgiveness at least once.
I guess he just faked it.
I guess he was planning to stab my back like this.
Don't blame yourself.
I'm scared of myself.
I don't know what I'll do.
Don't forget who you are.
Protect yourself, Mr. Kang.
I don't think I can do it.
Do I have a side in me worth protecting?
Was I always a bad guy?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
I don't know who I am or...
What kind of person I am...
I am...
What are you doing here so late?
I just stopped by.
I think we should introduce ourselves again,
Mr. Jung Tae Sung.
