The Devil
Prosecutor Oh.
What's wrong?
I've got to go.
Tell your mother I said sorry.
Prosecutor Oh.
I'll get your jacket.
Wait right here.
I think he has to go now.
What happened?
I don't know.
Here.
Thank you for the gift.
Thank you, too.
Episode 14
School Brings Student Deaths
The Hwang who owned this center is Hwang Dae Pil?
Yeah, turns out so.
I don't think it was a big fire.
The kitchen was on fire, and two instructors were slightly injured.
But Sung Joon Pyo wrote about it in a different angle.
In a different angle?
The students caught in the fire were from the school his father owned.
Sung Joon Pyo took advantage of that.
He wrote that the students were used for the father and son's commercial purposes.
He described Principle Hwang as a cold-hearted money chaser.
What's the truth?
I don't know yet.
What we know is that Hwang Dae Pil lied.
He said he didn't know Sung Joon Pyo.
He must've hit Sung Joon Pyo on purpose after someone called him from a pay phone.
Even so, we don't know if this case is related to the tarot card
Or if someone hired him to do such a thing.
He can be on Gyeon Jong Chul's side.
I don't think so.
Someone tried to kill Sung Joon Pyo because he knew who the manipulator was.
How can you be so sure?
If he did know, I don't understand why he didn't contact us.
What was on the USB stick found in his bag?
Nothing more than his articles.
Like I always tell you, we can't be sure of anything without evidence.
Detective Yi, check if the article is true or not.
Detective Shin, go check on the team following Ssangkal.
Yes, sir.
Oh Soo, ask Prosecutor Oh and find out why Sung Joon Pyo had his sister's address.
Sung Joon Pyo might have sent something to Prosecutor Oh's sister.
What do you mean?
Hae In saw an image of Sung Joon Pyo
sending a USB stick to someone, from the tarot card he got.
A USB stick?
Yeah, there might be some evidence about the manipulator on it.
What are you doing here?
I just sent my mother to my brother.
My mom trusted you.
I at least expected you to tell the police that Kang Oh Soo harassed you.
That's the least I expected.
My brother might've not been falsely accused of threatening Kang Oh Soo first.
I'm sorry.
My brother talked about you a lot.
He said you were a good hearted friend.
He said he felt sorry to see you have such a hard time.
That's why my mom and I trusted you.
But I don't trust anyone, now.
The world turned its back on us.
And now,
I'm turning my back on the world.
Don't you ever come here again.
You don't deserve to be here.
I saw it.
It was Oh Soo. Oh Soo stabbed Tae Hyeon. I saw him do it with my own eyes.
You were there?
Why didn't you say anything about it? Why are you telling me this now?
Why are you telling me this now? Why?
I'm sorry...
It's not too late to tell the truth. It's not too late.
You can tell the police what you just told me now.
No, I can't. I can't do that.
Why can't you? Just tell them what you saw!
I can't do that.
Why not? Why can't you tell the truth?
If I do, my parents will become bad people.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Kang Oh Soo
This is Oh Seung Ha.
I'd like to meet you to ask you a few questions.
Okay.
Where shall we meet?
Thank you, too.
I'm sorry for asking to see you so late.
It's okay. What did you want to ask me about?
Did you hear about Sung Joon Pyo?
I heard about the car accident.
I don't think it's a simple car accident.
Then what do you think it is?
I believe he was appointed as the third victim.
On the day of the accident,
Your sister's address was written on a piece of paper found in his bag.
My sister?
Yes. I don't know why he had it. That's why I wanted to meet you.
Do you have any idea why he had it?
I don't know. I have no clue.
Did Sung Joon Pyo personally know your sister?
No, they're completely strangers.
How can you be so sure?
Because I know my sister.
But you don't know everything about her.
You might not know as much as you think, since you're her brother.
I don't know about your family, but my family's not like that.
Right, not all families are the same.
I think I should ask her in person. Is that okay?
If it will help your case, it should be.
But my sister has been ill for a long time.
Stress is critical to her.
I understand. I'll be careful about it.
Mr. Cha told me Mr. Seong knew who the manipulator was.
Is that true?
Yes, I think that's why someone tried to kill him.
That might not be the reason.
What do you mean?
Like Hae In said some time ago, I think the manipulator wants you to find him.
That means he's not afraid of being revealed.
You mean someone tried to kill Sung Joon Pyo for some other reason?
I don't know what it can be, but it's possible.
But the fact that someone intentionally tried to murder Seong remains the same.
Was the incident that happened 12 years ago an accident?
What do you mean?
You might be offended, but I can't help asking.
For someone to have such strong resentment
Makes me wonder if there was anything doubtful about the case.
You can think whatever you want.
It is true that I killed Tae Hyeon.
Do you admit that you did it on purpose?
I have no reason to answer your question.
Only Tae Hyeon and I know the truth.
I'm sorry if my curiosity got out of control. It's because of my job.
I'll call you later.
Your sister's address written on a piece of paper was found in Sung Joon Pyo's bag.
Will you give this to Mr. Oh Seung Ha, please?
Hae In.
Thank you.
You're an early bird.
What brings you here so early?
My mom packed some food for you.
She felt bad that you just left yesterday, so I brought it for you.
I was just going to leave it at the janitor's office.
There's plenty of food for Mr. Cha and other people, too.
Tell your mother I said thank you.
I will.
I'm sorry about yesterday. My stomach didn't feel good.
Does it feel better today?
Yes, much better.
Glad to hear that.
By the way, did you ever live in Namgajwa-dong?
Why?
You looked familiar when we first met. I think I remember where I met you.
Where did we meet?
In front of a record store.
A boy gave me his umbrella on a rainy day. I think it was you.
You don't remember?
No, I never lived in that neighborhood.
I see.
I guess I'm wrong.
This is Miss Oh Seung Hee's phone.
This is Oh Seung Ha. Did Seung Hee go out?
I was going to call you. She's been sleeping since yesterday.
Really? No, don't wake her up.
Thank you.
I've been checking convenience stores all night.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Did you check the article about Hwang Dae Pil?
I met someone who was in the fire.
Sung Joon Pyo's story is very distorted.
His father, the principal, never pressured students to use that training center.
He was a highly respected principal.
He was about to retire due to his age, but resigned after the story was published.
Then, he committed a pessimistic suicide.
Is that true?
Yes. Hwang Dae Pil's engagement was called off, too.
Tell Mr. Ban and get Hwang Dae Pil to come to the station.
Mr. Ban wants you to come in now.
Okay.
To: Oh Seung Hee, Dongan-gu Saebom Nursing Home #108, Anyang-si Gyeonggi-do
Oh Seung Hee.
Excuse me, do you have the security tapes of April 26?
There are cops all over so stay away for right now.
I've already got the money.
He's not even calling.
What a weird guy.
He makes a deposit and doesn't even call.
Anyway, Ssangkal, are you sure no one saw you?
Okay.
Yes, Congressman.
Did you find out what I asked?
That night, Sung Joon Pyo made a call on a pay phone.
Is the person he called the "other" guy he was talking about?
It's possible. We might need to get a list of the calls made on the pay phone.
Any idea how?
I know a man who can do it.
Be careful.
Small mistakes cause big trouble.
Can I have a word with you?
Sure.
Yes, Congressman.
Are you sure Jeong Tae Seong died in a car accident?
Yes, I checked the documents.
Really?
Okay.
He's the only one I can think of who's doing all this.
Sir.
I'm really thankful to you.
Your father served my father longer than anyone else.
I'm sure you had other opportunities. Thank you for taking my side.
It's my pleasure.
I'm sure you didn't like my father's request. I thank you for not complaining.
But you should've told me.
Despite my father's orders, you should have trusted me and consulted with me.
I understand your situation.
But I've kept you by my side because I trusted and cared about you that much.
That's why I had you look after my wife.
I'm sorry, sir.
I hope this never happens again.
Yes, sir.
It's settled, then. I'm going to take my wife to the hospital from now on,
So you don't have to do that anymore.
I feel bad to burden you so much with my responsibilities.
You didn't, sir. I'll be at my desk.
What is this?
According to our investigation, the Hwang in this story is you.
And Sung Joon Pyo wrote this story.
I heard your family was very hurt by this story.
It's impossible for you to have forgotten his name easily.
How could I? I couldn't.
Then, why did you lie to us?
I didn't know it was the same man.
I thought it was a different man with the same name.
I found out you met him in person and objected to the story.
You know who called from the pay phone, don't you?
No, I don't.
You do know. Who is it?
I said I don't know!
Look here!
Detective Kang.
We have evidence that the car accident was not a coincidence.
You mean the phone record and this feature story are your evidence?
Don't disregard me. Don't you know you're violating my human rights?
What?
I did know it was Sung Joon Pyo when I saw the man injured.
You seemed like you were suspecting me to have manipulated the accident.
How could I tell you that this guy ruined my family
And that I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him?
How was I supposed to say that?
Then, you lied because you thought we'd suspect you?
Put yourself in my shoes.
Would you have told the truth?
It's me. You said you saw an image of a USB stick, right?
Yeah. Did you find out whom it was sent to?
I don't know if it was a USB stick or not, but the receiver was Prosecutor Oh's sister.
The package was sent to Prosecutor Oh's sister?
Yeah, I'm on my way to go see her.
Why would Sung Joon Pyo send something to Prosecutor Oh's sister?
I don't know. I'll call you after I get back.
Okay.
You mean the old man from Dongmun store?
Yeah. I saw him in the intensive care unit. How is he?
He has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He couldn't breathe well.
A respirator was placed down his throat to help him breathe.
So he can't talk?
Not right now. He's in and out of consciousness, too.
I see.
How do you know him?
I don't know him personally. I just had a few questions to ask him.
That's strange. Someone came and asked about him yesterday, too.
Asked about him?
Yeah, a guy came and asked about the old man's condition.
He wasn't a family member?
I've lived here long enough to know his family. The man even said he wasn't.
But he paid for the old man's medical expenses.
He did?
Yeah, the old man was about to be forced to leave
Because his guardian couldn't afford his medical treatment.
But the guy who came yesterday paid for it.
Really?
Thank you for your time.
Hey, there. Give me a second.
I already ordered. Is that okay?
Sure. Aren't you busy?
I rescheduled. Let's go see your doctor after lunch.
I can go by myself.
You'll feel uncomfortable to see my gynecologist.
My secretary did it. As your husband, I don't think I'll feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Na waited in the car.
I know.
Hello, sir.
Oh, this must be Mrs. Kang.
Nice to meet you. I'm Oh Soo's friend Kim Sun Ki.
Hello.
Why don't you wait outside? I think we should eat somewhere else.
Okay.
Mrs. Kang?
You forgot... your bag.
Thank you.
I'll see you again.
She's very pretty.
You must have mistaken something.
I'm not an easy game for you. I'm not going to be easy on you anymore.
I really didn't want to have to tell you this...
I think you have mistaken something.
You know the husband is always the last to know.
What is it that you want to say?
Actually, when I look at you, I feel so bad.
I didn't want to make you the last to find out.
I had to think of your father and your reputation.
At the same time, I felt stings of my conscience.
This is tough.
Don't waste your time.
The husband will have the control at the end.
Did you know about it?
Know about what?
So, what I mean is...
I'm telling you to stop using Oh Soo as an excuse.
Don't be so thoughtless.
I'm harder to play than you think.
Yeah, right. You can't even control your wife.
There she is.
Thank you
Sure
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm detective Kang Oh Soo from Seoul Police Station.
There's nothing for you to worry about. I just want to ask you a few questions.
Go ahead.
Do you know a journalist named Sung Joon Pyo?
Never heard of him.
Did you get a package with no sender?
Noona.
You're already here.
Yeah.
Hey, Seung Ha.
Hey, I was worried when I heard you weren't feeling well since yesterday.
I'm sorry for worrying you. I'm fatigued since it's spring. I'm always sleepy.
I'm glad you're not sick.
Do you know this detective?
Yeah.
I see.
What was your question?
I asked if anything was sent to you recently.
Yes.
But why are the police asking about it?
It's confidential. Did you get a USB stick?
Yes, I did.
Do you have it with you?
Yes.
Here you go.
Thank you.
The music's really nice.
It's just all music?
Yeah, I listened to it to the end, and it was all music.
That can't be possible. That can't be...
I don't understand.
Why would Sung Joon Pyo send a USB stick full of music to your sister?
I don't know.
Maybe your sister gave me a different USB stick, since she's blind.
My sister is the calmest person I know. I'm sure she wasn't confused.
And like she said, she doesn't have any other USB stick.
It's impossible for her to have mistaken.
I'm sorry she couldn't help you out.
Did the detective leave?
Yeah. Why don't you get some rest? You look tired.
Do you know who Sung Joon Pyo is?
Kind of.
Where is he right now?
Why do you ask?
The detective must be asking about him because he can't find him.
I don't know. I should get going.
Okay.
Call me whenever you feel sick.
Don't worry about me. I'll be okay.
Bye, Seung Hee.
Tae Seung.
Your name is Tae Seung, right?
Seung Ha didn't have the chance to really be loved by our parents.
He dropped out of middle school because of me.
He left saying he'd make a lot of money and help me get better.
But poor Seung Ha...
One day, Seung Ha called home and told us about you.
He told us he was staying with a good friend and told us not to worry.
He said his friend Tae Seung was smart and mature.
Three years later, you came to see me.
I thought your voice didn't sound like Seung Ha.
But I wanted to believe that you were my Seung Ha.
Why didn't you say anything?
I guess I can read people's hearts instead of seeing with my eyes.
You were very hurt, yet very good-hearted.
I could feel that you felt bad and in pain when you were with me.
What were Seung Ha's last moments like?
Was he in a lot of pain?
I remember Seung Ha's last words...
What did he say?
He asked me to take care of his sister...
He asked me to take care of you.
He worried about me until his last moment.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Seung Hee...
This was sent to me.
I won't ask why this was sent to me or why the police are asking about it.
I won't ask why you had to live as Seung Ha.
I want to trust you like my Seung Ha did.
You are my good brother.
Yeah.
We arrested Ssangkal in front of his girlfriend's house.
Okay.
Who said I was there?
We have a witness who saw you.
Your fingerprints are on the lighter we found at the scene.
Don't waste our time.
Who ordered you to threaten Sung Joon Pyo? It was Gyeon Jong Chul, right?
And he got orders from someone else.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Can you prove that I threatened him?
Can you prove that I did?
I want to make my call. I want my lawyer!
The person who called form the pay phone informed Hwang Dae Pil when Sung Joon Pyo
was going to show up.
And?
And Ssangkal knew the exact location where Sung Joon Pyo was.
Right, because we know he was at the scene.
That means the caller called Ssangkal, too.
The caller might've been hired by Congressman Kang.
That's possible if Hwang Dae Pil lied about Ssangkal.
But Hwang said he saw Ssangkal as if he was waiting to tell us.
So Hwang Dae Pil and Ssangkal aren't partners.
But Ssangkal and the caller are?
If the caller is the manipulator,
He separately contacted Ssangkal and Hwang and tried to frame Ssangkal.
Which means, someone tried to frame your father with the car accident?
Exactly. Both Sung Joon Pyo and my father were the targets.
But that's still an assumption.
Hwang Dae Pil holds the key to all this. I need a search warrant for his house.
Are you stupid? You know that's impossible.
What was he saying?
What's on your mind?
Just this and that. You're not using that properly.
I don't have the chance to use it that often.
I hope you don't.
I hope you'll use it to call for my attention from now on.
Did you meet Prosecutor Oh's sister?
Yeah, this was delivered to her.
What was on it?
Music.
Music?
I can't believe why this was sent to her. It can't be a prank.
I'm sure there's a reason.
I'm having trouble figuring that out.
Will you help me, Hae In?
Sure.
You said the tower card was missing from the deck of cards Sung Joon Pyo had.
Right, what does that card mean?
Basically, it means tearing down the existing structure.
But the interpretation of the positive and the negative are completely different.
How?
Negatively, it stands for an inevitable disaster,
Because people have seen something they shouldn't have.
What about the positive?
It means it's time for a necessary change.
It's telling you to abandon all the rules and orders so far
And to discover a new direction.
Find a new direction.
Yeah. Could Sung Joon Pyo have sent that card to someone?
I don't know.
I feel like I've almost solved it, yet I'm back where I began.
When is Sora going to Prosecutor Oh's brother's place?
Tomorrow.
Are you going, too?
I plan to.
I see.
You should get in, now. You're not allowed to be out too long.
Okay. Hang in there.
I will. You're not sick or anything, right?
No, I'm fine. Bye.
Bye.
Hee Soo.
Hey, have a seat.
I have to go soon. What are you doing here by yourself?
It's romantic sometimes.
Oh Soo, I'm going to speak to you as my brother, not a detective.
I'm positive that dad has nothing to do with Sung Joon Pyo's accident.
He did order Mr. Gyeon to follow him.
But he called his boys off right after dad made a deal with Sung Joon Pyo.
So dad isn't the person who gave orders to chase Sung Joon Pyo.
What kind of deal was it?
Sung Joon Pyo asked for money.
Dad did it for you. He did it for you 12 years ago, too.
Let's not talk about that.
Oh Soo.
We arrested the man chasing after Sung Joon Pyo.
He's one of Gyeon's boys.
What? You mean the police are suspecting Dad?
That's all I can tell you. I'm sorry, Hee Soo.
It's not Dad!
He's a cold-hearted man, but he never crosses the line.
Even Suk Jin knows what happened that day.
I trust you.
And if it wasn't Dad, then we'll be able to prove it.
Don't keep your wife waiting too long.
Did you find a place to stay?
I spoke to my real estate agent.
I saw your girlfriend with Hee Soo at your hotel restaurant.
Does Hee Soo know about your secret affair?
What do you mean?
I just got the feeling that he did.
No, what maniac would just sit and watch his wife having an affair?
Especially with his younger brother's friend, right?
What did you tell Hee Soo?
I didn't say much. I just told him the husband is always the last to know.
Why? Do you want to beat me up again?
Give me some time to think.
I'll try to figure out how to get you what you want.
Good idea. It's better for you to fill up your pockets and leave this country.
Yeah.
So?
I think Kim Sun Ki is blackmailing your wife.
Okay.
He said that Tae Seong went far away.
Why didn't you ask him?
I'm sure he called him Tae Seong.
Whatever. That's what I remember.
Hey, Hae In.
I can't see anything from the USB stick.
I see.
But I heard voices.
Voices?
Yeah, I think an young man and an old man were talking.
I think it's the old man I saw before.
What did they say?
They kept mentioning the name, Tae Seong.
Tae Seong?
Yeah, isn't he Jeong Tae Hun's younger brother?
Yeah.
You be healthy and be a good girl.
Can't you come live with us?
Thanks, Sora.
What are you talking about!
One of Mr. Gyeon's men was arrested.
The police have evidence that he was at the scene.
And?
That's all Oh Soo told me.
What I know is he hasn't confessed.
I don't think Mr. Gyeon followed your orders.
Yeah.
Are you still in front of Hwang Dae Pil's house?
Yeah. Did you check Ssangkal's phone record?
What?
He talked to Gyeon Jong Chul several times on the day of the accident.
This can't be evidential if Ssangkal says it was just an ordinary call.
There's no number of the pay phone used to call Hwang Dae Pil?
No, but there was someone who called Ssangkal several times.
Did you find out who it is?
Remember the homeless guy who sent the delivery?
The security number used to make Sung Joon Pyo's blog.
Yi Bong Gyu?
Yeah, it was a cloned phone under his name. They got us again.
This is driving me nuts.
I can't do anything when the guy who has the answer is right in front of me.
Come to the office. We'll use the cloned phone to question Ssangkal.
He won't give up easily. I know there's something at Hwang Dae Pil's house.
Oh Soo?
I'll talk to you later.
You're fighting against a dead man, so the result is pretty obvious.
Fighting against a dead man... Fighting against a dead man...
Jeong Tae Seong is already dead.
Fighting against a dead man...
Jeong Tae Seong is already dead.
Hello?
It's me.
Hey, what's up?
You said Tae Hun's brother died in a car accident, right?
Yeah.
Who identified his body?
My partner who was in charge of the case 12 years ago. You've met him once.
Did he see the body himself?
Yeah, but the face was severely damaged and he couldn't identify him.
How did he know it was Jeong Tae Seong?
He found his student ID card and his belongings. Why?
I'll call you back after I find out for sure.
Sir, I'm hearing a lot of bad rumors about Oh Soo.
I think Sung Joon Pyo's story has been exposed.
I should have been more careful. I'm sorry.
Don't let it bother you. All we have to do is our job.
Does chief know about this? If he does, he'll call Oh Soo off...
I'll take responsibility for whatever consequences.
Bring Ssangkal to the interrogation room.
I'm on my way.
Haneul keeps asking when you're coming.
I'll be there in about half an hour if there's no traffic.
Okay.
You and your brother must be close.
He's such a good guy.
Is my friend there, too?
Of course. Her name's Haneul. She's a really sweet girl.
She'll be a good friend to you.
Sora will be her good friend, too.
Haneul's going to be so happy.
School Brings Student Deaths by Sung Joon Pyo
There was a different name and address each time.
He sent a different letter each time but used the same closing passage.
God predetermines a man's destiny, but man has the power to change it.
Oh, my goodness...
