The Devil
What are you doing here so late?
I just stopped by.
I think we should introduce ourselves again,
Mr. Jeong Tae Seong.
Our conversation might take a while.
May I come in?
I think you came to the wrong house.
Jeong Tae Seong, the man you're looking for, doesn't live here.
I'm sure he doesn't.
He's already dead.
Are you looking for a dead man?
I already found him.
He's dead, yet alive.
He's alive, yet dead.
You're Jeong Tae Seong, yet Oh Seung Ha.
Interesting.
Your story seems very interesting,
but I don't let just anyone into my home.
Episode 12
The Devil
I don't get it.
Why would Sung Joon Pyo lie about getting a tarot card?
We're trying to protect him.
I don't know,
but for him to cut off all contact means he knows something.
You smell like alcohol.
Where have you been drinking?
Where's Sung Joon Pyo?
We haven't even seen his nose hair yet.
You can't see nostril hair.
Senior, why don't we check places where he might...
Man, I can't believe he's sleeping.
Who put us in all this trouble?
Are you saying it's Oh Soo's fault?
No, that's not what I meant.
Then, what?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean what I just said.
When you were under inspection last time,
Kang Senior did everything in his power for you.
He put up with all the harsh things Chief said and stuck up for you.
I know. I didn't mean it that way.
Our trust in him is what he really needs.
I know.
I'll be more careful from now on.
You picked a very nice subject.
He was an orphan and had one sister that was blind.
A runaway like Oh Seung Ha had no one to identify his body.
You were at the accident scene when Oh Seung Ha died.
And you thought this was your chance.
That's why you threw away your name and were reborn as Oh Seung Ha.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Do you think I'm speaking without any evidence?
Is there any evidence other than me, Oh Seung Ha?
I have a witness who says you are Jeong Tae Seong.
Oh, really?
What's more important is that you were manipulating
the deaths of Lawyer Kwon Hyeon Tae and Yoon Dae Sik.
Can you prove that as well?
The fact that you are Jeong Tae Seong will prove it.
The police will think the same as I do.
Then you should've gone to the police instead of coming to me.
Isn't that the right order?
I don't understand.
If you were confident that I was the manipulator,
you wouldn't be here.
I came here because I completely understand how you feel.
You and I can be partners instead of enemies.
What do you mean?
Like how you used and saved Jo Dong Sub,
I will punish Kang Dong Hyun and his family.
I'm saying I'll keep your secret.
Writing about the case 12 years ago,
won't really affect Kang Dong Hyun.
I still don't have any legal evidence or witnesses.
But I will write about it after you have achieved our goal.
It'll be a background article about why this kind of incident happened.
And of course, I will guarantee your secrecy.
So you mean you'll use me, who you believe is Jeong Tae Seong,
to get your revenge on Kang Dong Hyun.
Is that correct?
You must resent me,
but I was used 12 years ago.
That makes me even more confused.
For whatever reason, you wrote a distorted article.
And I'm sure the victim's family was hurt again by that.
What are you trying to say?
Wouldn't the best that you can do for the victim's family be
to admit your mistake and reveal the truth?
Do you mean it's okay to reveal who you are?
You must've forgotten that I'm a lawyer.
Even if I am Jeong Tae Seong,
it will not prove that I am the manipulator of all that's happening.
Furthermore, you don't have any evidence to prove that there even is a manipulator.
In other words,
you lack what is needed to solve the crime.
Do you understand?
But the police will keep an eye on you,
and it will make it difficult for you to accomplish your goal.
I'll give you some time to think it over.
If your decision remains the same even after you listen to this,
then I will not be able to protect you.
Protect me, huh?
If you and I are on the same page,
I might give you the original copy
because I completely understand how you feel
and consider you my partner.
About the tarot card that you sent me...
I was imitating you.
How did it make you feel?
I felt pity because it seemed like you chose the wrong card.
I think I should go now.
It's past my bedtime.
Let me ask you one more thing.
Did you send the tarot card planning to kill me?
If I were Jeong Tae Seong,
I'd want to give you one last chance.
One last chance to make things right.
I've made up my mind.
Now it's your turn.
I asked the boy why he was standing by himself out on the street.
He said that Tae Seong went far away.
Why do you say that was strange?
It is.
I heard the boy that died call the other boy by that name.
He called him Tae Seong.
My son's name was Tae Seong.
You must've gotten confused.
It was Tae Seong who died.
Whatever.
That's what I remember.
Why didn't you ask him?
I did.
I asked him, "Aren't you Tae Seong?"
What did he say?
What was it he said?
He said, �No, my name is Seung Ha."
I don't think I can do it.
Do I have a side in me worth protecting?
Was I born such a bad person?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
I don't know who I am or...
what kind of person I am...
Sora, do you remember our promise?
Pinky swear me one last time.
I know why you didn't tell on us in high school.
It's me, Boss.
Yes, like he promised.
I'll take care of it.
You're here.
Yes.
I have something to tell you.
Hae In.
Did you get home safely?
Yeah, I'm sorry about last night.
Yeah,
I found out how you are when you're drunk.
Was I bad?
You don't remember?
I kind of blacked out here and there.
Anyway, what was so urgent?
I think Kim Yeong Chul did give Sora the doll and took her to the station.
What do you mean?
I saw an image from Sora's doll.
It was Kim Yeong Chul.
But Sora didn't recognize him.
I think they made a promise.
A promise?
I'm just guessing based on what I saw.
I think Sora promised to say she didn't know him.
I'm sure as a little girl,
Sora wanted to keep her promise with her good friend.
Yeah, that's right.
If Sora testified again, could it be admissible evidence?
It won't be enough.
I wanted Sora to identify Yeong Chul
so I could find other evidence and get a search warrant.
I see.
Anyway, we know it's him,
so I'll find something.
I also think there's someone else involved other than Yeong Chul.
Why do you say that?
If Yeong Chul is the one taking the envelope from the locker,
there must be someone leaving it there.
Right.
Excuse me.
-Yeah, it's me. -Come to the station right now.
What's wrong?
You'll find out. Get over here now!
Okay.
I've got to go.
Okay.
Hae In!
I'm really sorry about last night.
What's wrong?
Mr. Oh received this yesterday.
There's no sender.
Do you know who it is?
It's my friend.
Mr. Oh knows him too.
You know him?
Yeah.
I thought it would be better for Mr. Kang to explain.
I see.
Then, do you know the guy next to him?
He looks familiar. I don't know.
You should ask your friend. Then we'll know who he is.
I will.
Do a background check on him, just in case.
Yes, Sir.
Why on earth did he send this to Mr. Oh?
It could be another clue.
He knew that the police and I would know about the photo.
Hey, it's me.
Leave a space for my article.
I might give you the article tomorrow night.
I'll tell you later when I know for sure.
I need more evidence to nail them both.
I was going to be nice to one of them...
Joon Pyo?
Let's have a drink later.
You little rat.
The car in the photo is your father's?
Yeah.
Find out what's going on.
Yes, Sir.
I think Sung Joon Pyo is going to write an article about the case from 12 years ago.
As you know, if people at the station find out about it,
you might have to turn in your badge.
I'm prepared for it.
I might give you the article tomorrow night.
I'll tell you later when I know for sure.
I need more evidence to nail them both.
I was going to be nice to one of them...
Let's have a drink later.
He's quick-witted.
Who has he been seeing?
We don't know who he's been seeing before last night.
Our boys are on him now.
Why don't we take care of him this time?
Not in your way.
Who does he mean by 'the other man'?
I'll find out.
Remember what I said.
Don't cause any problems.
I'll keep that in mind.
It's me.
Set a meeting with the president of Issue & Issue today if you can.
We can't do anything about the past.
But we have to keep this quiet.
What are you doing here at this time?
What's this?
It's impossible for you to take charge of the casino.
This is the best I can do.
Use this for your wedding.
The power of friendship will make the impossible possible.
Friendship?
You deserve to talk about friendship?
I know what I did was wrong,
but what you're doing is wrong, too.
I'd understand you criticizing and despising me,
but what you're doing now is so sly, dirty, and disgusting.
Your love is beautiful, and I'm disgusting?
Do you really have to do this?
What did we do to you that was so wrong?
You ruined your own life, not us.
And you're the one who picked on Yeong Chul the most.
It wasn't Oh Soo, Dae Sik, or me.
It was you.
Oh Soo killed Tae Hyeon,
not me.
Do you think that's a reason to let Dae Sik die?
What right do you have?
What are you going to do next?
What are you going to do after you tie me down like this?
You really think I'm the criminal?
Actually, I'm curious myself,
but I'm not afraid because I think whoever it is truly understands me.
That's why he gave me another chance in life.
Someone sent you a photo that has something to do with me?
Should I tell Oh Soo the truth and show him the photo?
Suk Jin,
this can be an opportunity for you as well.
You can live with Oh Soo's sister-in-law without worrying about others,
but somewhere abroad would be better than Korea.
What would you need then?
It's money.
Everyone knows Oh Soo's father made money in a dirty way.
You know the story of Robin Hood, right?
He takes the dirty money and uses it for good purposes.
I'm not capable of giving you what you want.
I don't even want to.
I'm not that patient.
Make up your mind soon.
Man, what a temper.
What do you mean?
I thought Sun Ki would do well as the casino pit manager.
Do you know what it takes to be a pit manager?
We have some time left until the opening day.
We can train him...
You want to put Sun Ki in a place where he has to manage dealers and customers
and even be fluent in foreign languages?
I'll make sure he gets trained.
What did he do to you?
I heard him tell Oh Soo that he'd reveal Tae Hyeon's incident.
You mean he threatened Oh Soo?
Yes.
We should coax him...
No, we don't need to.
That case is over,
and I'm not going to cut him any slack from now on.
And don't let him control you and say such absurd things again.
I'm sorry.
When did you get here?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
It's okay. Have a seat.
How was the exhibition?
It was good.
[Oh Soo]
How did you get these photos?
Someone sent them.
Tell me who this guy is and why he was seeing my dad.
His name is Gyeon Jong Cheol.
He owns a nightclub in Kangnam.
Did my dad meet him because of Sung Joon Pyo?
Reporter Sung Joon Pyo?
Yeah.
I don't know the details,
but I think your dad was asking for a favor.
What kind of favor?
I don't know.
Is my brother at his office?
Yeah, but...
Your brother doesn't know that your father met Mr. Gyeon.
How did the photos...
Suk Jin.
I understand your situation,
but you need to keep my brother's secrets, not my dad's.
I know my dad.
I know you have to obey him.
But...
I just hope you don't keep any secrets from my brother.
You're really the closest person who looks out for him.
See you.
Take this.
My house is close. I can just run home.
Take it.
I have another one.
Thank you.
You too. Thank you.
What a nice day.
Please, tell me why you met Gyeon Jong Cheol.
It appears that Mr. Na has a big mouth.
Suk Jin didn't tell me.
We found out in the process of looking for Sung Joon Pyo.
Why are the police looking for him?
I can't tell you the details,
but he's likely to become the next victim.
The next victim?
Yes.
Did Sung Joon Pyo threaten you?
If that's why you met Mr. Gyeon and ordered him to do something, call it off.
Are you giving me orders?
I'm telling you for your own sake.
The man you're fighting against isn't Sung Joon Pyo.
It's someone else behind all this.
Please, don't try to stop Sung Joon Pyo by yourself.
Let me handle it.
Stop whatever you're planning to do.
I'm not doing anything.
Dad.
If you want to dominate someone,
you have to penetrate his intentions.
That's how you get the upper hand...
and take control of him.
I know Sung Joon Pyo well.
I don't have to go through so much trouble.
It's not Sung Joon Pyo you're fighting against.
Please, take my advice and don't do anything, Dad.
You still don't know how the world works.
What you think isn't always right.
If you know where Sung Joon Pyo is, please tell me.
I can't let him be the next victim.
I have better things to do than watching where he is and what he's doing.
Are you eating well?
Don't worry about me.
I think my father did hire Gyeon Jong Cheol.
Just as we suspected.
Gyeon Jong Cheol used to be the boss
involved in the New World store distribution in Dongdaemun.
Your father was involved as well.
I see.
I think my father ordered him to follow Sung Joon Pyo.
Detective Yi and Shin are undercover at his nightclub.
They'll report to us.
Okay.
I'm Mo In Ho.
Nice to meet you. I'm Sung Joon Pyo.
Why did you want to see me?
I wanted to ask you about Jeong Tae Hyeon's death 12 years ago.
Why are you interested in that case?
I want to reveal the truth.
What truth do you mean?
Kang Oh Soo was released because he acted in self-defense.
It was his father's power that did it.
Wasn't it premeditated murder and not actually an accident?
No, it wasn't premeditated murder.
Didn't you write an article saying there was no school violence?
I know what you're getting at,
but I didn't intend to do that. It was a mistake.
Oh Soo didn't either.
I won't cover up what Oh Soo did or forgive him,
but I believe it was an accident.
I thought you'd tell the truth,
but I guess I was wrong.
I don't know what kind of answer you were expecting.
Jeong Tae Hyeon and Kang Oh Soo were both my students.
I feel sad and sorry for both of them.
Don't you think it's wrong to cover up the truth?
Yes.
I was the one who was blamed the most.
It was so wrong of me to not pay more attention to them as their teacher.
That's not what I came to hear.
The adults who used their power did wrong to the victim's family.
The school that was busy covering up the truth to save their reputation was wrong.
Mr. Mo,
In addition...
The reporter who wrote an article saying there was no violence at school,
without knowing the truth, was wrong.
That's the truth I know.
Goodbye.
Taxi! Taxi!
This is Sung Joon Pyo.
What do you want?
You bug my phone and now you have people following me?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't think this is going to make me back off.
You must have the wrong idea.
I don't plan on stopping you from writing about the past.
It won't even be a reliable article.
Stop lecturing and tell your boys to back off.
Why don't you think more wisely?
I believe you came to see me to negotiate,
not threaten me, correct?
Think carefully about what would be the wise decision.
Man!
Hi, I'm Seo Hae In.
Yes?
I'm sorry for coming without notice,
but I have something to tell you.
What do you have to say to me?
Can you spare some time?
I have to go in.
Sora kept her promise.
She trusted you.
That's why she kept her promise with you.
What are you talking about?
I used to also have no friends.
I was scared I'd see scary things from my friends.
It felt like they were afraid of me, too.
I know how hard and lonely it feels to be alone.
What is it that you want to say?
Please,
step out from the dark tunnel.
If you try to avenge and keep yourself shut in that tunnel,
I think it'll put you in more pain and agony.
What makes you say that?
You know nothing about me.
I don't know you well, but...
Goodbye.
Why did you meet Yeong Chul?
Are you following me now?
You are hiding a lot from me.
Tell me what kind of photo you got and why you met Yeong Chul.
You're making me repeat myself.
It was a photo of a stranger, so I threw it away.
I met Yeong Chul because I missed him. You satisfied?
Is there anything else you want to ask?
I have nothing else to say.
You don't have to. Just listen to me.
I have no choice other than to make you a suspect because I know you're lying.
A suspect?
Yeah. Call me whenever you want to tell me the truth.
I'll be waiting.
It's nice to hear you ask me for a favor.
It's not a favor. It's a warning.
That's not how you eat it.
First, add the rice and put some of the soup in it.
You listen better than I thought.
This is Oh Seung Ha.
Have you thought about my offer?
What's your decision?
Are you going to take me up on my offer?
You're the one to make the decision, not me.
Are you turning me down?
I have no reason to take you up on that offer.
I thought you'd like my offer.
This is quite unexpected.
You were wrong.
Don't regret it.
I gave you a chance.
I'd like to say that right back at you.
I gave you a chance...
and you still have it.
Gyeon Jong Cheol hasn't come out of his nightclub since this afternoon.
Have you traced Sung Joon Pyo's phone?
He turned it off.
I'll be there in an hour.
Call me if he makes a move.
Where is the cell phone charger?
It's over there.
I don't see anything.
What do you mean?
I don't see any image from this photo.
You must've worn her out.
No, you didn't.
I don't know why, but this happens sometimes.
I wonder why he sent this photo to Mr. Oh.
Are you sure nothing bad is going to happen to Mr. Oh?
I'm sure nothing will happen.
Hello?
I heard a photo was sent to you.
Did Detective Kang tell you?
Yeah.
I was just worried.
Is that why you called?
Yeah.
-Hae In. -Mr. Oh.
Go ahead.
Sora said she misses you.
Tell her I miss her too.
I will.
What were you about to say?
Thank you for calling.
Be careful.
Don't worry about me.
Okay.
Did you have dinner?
Ju Hee made me kimchi fried rice.
Tell Mr. Oh to come over for dinner some time.
I'm sure he eats out by himself most of the time.
I want to cook him a nice meal.
I'll tell him that.
Is Sung Joon Pyo's phone still turned off?
We tracked him down. He's in Mapo.
I'll head over to Mapo, then.
He's been moving around.
That's good.
That means nothing has happened to him.
Are you sure he's the next victim?
Most likely so if he got the same tarot card as me.
I'm going to Mapo, so let me know if he goes somewhere else.
You're just going to look for him?
I have no choice. He won't even answer our calls.
Okay.
What do you mean?
It might be difficult for us to save you a spot for your article.
Did Kang Dong Hyun call you?
Is your story about Congressman Kang even true?
My boss called me up and asked about you.
And?
I told him you were preparing a story.
My boss told me not to cause trouble by publishing an unreliable story.
Let me see your draft.
Joon Pyo.
Yeah?
Let me see your draft.
What's wrong?
I think I need some time to add some more information.
We'll talk about that after I see your draft.
No, let's talk about this later.
Joon Pyo!
Where is he?
Okay.
I see you've pressured my publishing company,
but there are other companies, you know.
But not many places will publish a story about a rumor.
You have people following me because that rumor will critically affect you.
I can't believe people still do that.
I'll tell you again.
You're free to write whatever you want.
What I'm concerned about is how much you'll suffer
after ruining my reputation with your article.
Kang Oh Soo will suffer as well.
He'll have to quit his job if his past is revealed.
That's exactly what I want him to do.
What about this?
I heard your son and daughter are musically gifted.
What are you trying to say?
I didn't intend to cause you any harm,
but I felt bad about what happened to you.
I was hoping I'd be able to make it up to your children.
Are you trying to bribe me?
It's up to you.
You can write an unreliable story,
or you can take my kind offer.
I'll make you a deal.
I make the conditions and choose the time and date of where we meet.
Conditions?
You're an ambitious man.
And very impatient.
No,
the faster the better.
Like I thought.
This is all you've got.
[President]
Yes, Boss.
Yes.
Pardon?
All in cash?
Yes, I understand.
Okay.
I'd like to book a plane ticket to Australia leaving tomorrow.
It doesn't have to be a coach seat.
7:25 P.M.?
Yes, I'll take that.
It's me.
We're following Gyeon Jong Cheol's car.
Did you find Sung Joon Pyo?
Not yet.
Don't get caught.
Okay.
This is Kang Oh Soo.
Are you with someone?
No, I'm alone.
Where are you?
Don't tell anyone you talked to me.
I want you to meet me alone.
Why do I have to do that?
Because I'm about to meet someone I don't trust.
If you're with me, he won't get other ideas.
First, I'd like to know who you're meeting.
You'll find out.
He's someone you know well.
Remember you said you'd protect me?
Keep that promise.
Then I'll pay you back.
Pay me back?
I'll tell you the man you've been looking for all along...
The man behind everything.
You know who it is?
Yes, I do. I even have evidence.
If you show up with the cops,
I will not keep my promise.
Where should I meet you?
Meet me at the place I tell you in an hour.
We'll move together.
Where do you want to meet?
I'd like to mail this.
Fill out the form, please.
[To: Oh Seung Hui, Saebom Nursing Home #108]
Yeah.
Gyeon Jong Cheol stopped by your hotel and picked up your friend.
I think they're going to meet Sung Joon Pyo.
No, they aren't.
What do you mean?
I'm not going to let them meet.
What on earth are you saying?
I'll explain later.
Who are you?
Hand it over.
Give me your bag and everything you've got.
I guess your boss hasn't called you yet.
I'm on my way to meet him.
I don't care.
Give me all you've got, then we'll let you go.
What are you talking about? I've already spoken with your boss!
You must be deaf.
Move it.
Get him!
Oh, my goodness.
What am I going to do?
Call for an ambulance.
Right.
My phone... it's in the car.
Are you okay?
Here...
Give this to the police.
I'll hold on to that.
I gave you a chance,
and you made the wrong decision.
Mister! Mister!
Are you okay?
What are you doing? Call 911.
I did.
Mister, hey!
Wake up!
Are you okay?
Mister!
Are you okay?
Mister, Mister!
Mister, wake up!
Did you call for an ambulance?
Yeah.
Don't let go, Mr. Seong.
Don't let go.
Don't let go, Mr. Seong!
How far are you willing to go?
When will you be satisfied?
How far do you have to go to be satisfied, you bastard?
You want me?
You want Kang Oh Soo?
