[1 New Message. Sun Ki]
No, this can't be real. Something must be wrong.
Is no one home?
What have you done? What the heck have you done?
What's wrong with you?
Sun Ki! Open up, Sun Ki!
Suk Jin! Suk Jin!
What was the pass code? The pass code...
What's going on?
Sun Ki!
Suk Jin!
Kang Sunbae!
Where's Sun Ki? Were is he?
Tell me where he is. Tell me now!
How do I know?
I came to see Sun Ki too.
You're insane.
You look insane to me.
Let him go.
What's wrong?
Trace the number that sent me the message with a photo.
What?
We're running out of time. He's still alive. Hurry up!
Episode 17
The Devil
It's just a warehouse area within a radius of 300 meters.
I'll send you the location so meet us there.
Na Suk Jin's phone is turned off.
I texted him so...
You should get going now.
Let me stay a little bit longer.
Today's our last day.
Sun Ki!
Sun Ki! Sun Ki, wake up!
Sun Ki! Sun Ki! Open your eyes! Sun Ki!
Sun Ki, ...hang in there. You'll be fine!
Detective Kang, stop.
Sun Ki, Sun Ki
Don't do this.
Stop, Sunbae Kang.
-Get up, Mr. Kang. -Let go! He can't die. He can't!
He's already dead! He died!
We can't do anything, Mr. Kang.
Oh Soo, have you gotten any sleep?
You look horrible, man.
Hey! Get something to eat!
Kang Sunbae!
We'll be able to find evidence.
I don't need it.
Kang Sunbae! Kang Sunbae!
Kang Sunbae! What are you doing? Where are you going?
Kang Sunbae!
What do you want?
How far are you going to go?
How far do you have to go to be satisfied?
How may more lives will it take for you to be satisfied?
Tell me where Suk Jin is.
What have you done to him? Tell me.
Did something happen to your friend?
You were there with Sun Ki.
You sent me his photo!
What do you mean?
Say you killed Sun Ki.
Admit you killed Dae Sik, Mr. Kwon, and Sung Joon Pyo!
I am Jeong Tae Seong, and I am the manipulator of the incidents.
That's what you'd like me to say?
Yeah, say it. Say it now!
I'm not the murderer. You, Detective Kang, are the murderer.
Have you ever imagined before?
It hurts so much to even lose a friend.
How devastating would it be to lose a family?
Have you ever thought about that?
Jeong Tae Hyeon, a 17-year-old poor boy, never had a chance to go for his dream.
You even completely ruined his family's life.
Like I've told you several times,
Prove to me that I'm Jeong Tae Seong and the manipulator.
You look so tired.
You should go home and get some rest.
I killed Tae Hyeon.
I'll do whatever you want.
I'll do anything you want.
If you want me to die right here, I'll die.
So don't do anything to Suk Jin, please.
I'm worried. You'll have trouble getting the culprit if you get weak so easily.
It was an accident.
I didn't mean to kill Tae Hyeon.
I really didn't.
I'm bad, but I didn't do it on purpose.
I have no reason to listen to your excuse.
Even if it were an accident,
You did nothing to tell the truth.
I know it's hard for you to forgive me.
I was a coward.
But I wanted to live.
I knew I was messed up, but I wanted to live my life again.
I thought of Tae Hyeon day and night with every breath I took.
Life was a living hell!
But even then, I wanted to live.
I wanted to believe that some day, Tae Hyeon would forgive me
If I lived my life asking for his forgiveness.
The guilty doesn't have the right to ask for forgiveness.
I'm not asking for forgiveness.
I know I don't deserve to ask for it.
But stop victimizing other people.
Please.
Go ask someone else. Destiny is determined based on people's decisions.
I'm sorry.
I've said it over thousands and millions of times in my heart.
I'm sorry it took me so long to say it to you.
But I will get you with my own hands.
Hello?
This is Yi Jae Min.
Sorry for calling so late.
I wasn't sleeping.
What's up?
Have you heard from Detective Kang?
No, did something happen to him?
His friend has been murdered.
I think Kang Sunbae is taking it pretty bad.
I can't reach him. He won't pick up.
I see.
Will you call me if he calls you?
Okay.
Excuse me.
How did his friend die?
We need to examine the body, but I think he was beaten to death.
Did it happen in a warehouse?
Yes, how did you know?
I've got to go.
What's going on?
Are you Mr. Na Suk Jin?
Who are you?
I'm Detective Shin Jae Min.
Kim Sun Ki died last night.
Kang Sunbae, Mr. Na Suk Jin is okay.
Where are you? Answer your phone.
Even if it were an accident, you did nothing to tell the truth.
Bak Beom Jun
Please leave a message at the tone. Press star or pound after your message.
Mr. Kang, I heard about your friend.
You must be devastated.
Call me when you get this message. I'll be waiting to hear from you.
Were you here all night?
What happened to your forehead?
When's the autopsy?
The accused mistaken that the victim had taken her daughter.
She was pleading to the victim for her daughter.
As a weak lady,
the accused used a pepper spray as a means to show her offensiveness.
She did not have any intentions to harm the victim.
I know I'm bad, but I didn't do it on purpose.
Oh Soo did it. Oh Soo stabbed Tae Hyeon with a knife. I saw him do it.
Counselor?
Moreover, she did not have any intentions to murder the victim.
You mean the external wounds aren't the cause of death?
The wounds aren't fatal. I think it was either toxic gas or chemicals.
The heart and lungs are uncommonly bright red.
You mean he was poisoned?
I've requested for an analysis on the poison, so we have to wait and see.
Check if there was any equipment that could've issued a toxic gas.
Okay.
Then, it'll take three to four days before the body is sent to the family.
Right.
What is the estimated time of death?
From 10:30 p.m. to midnight.
The text with the photo was sent to you at 11:40 p.m., so he died before that.
I just got home.
Is Sun Ki home?
Yeah, I'm so tired. I need to get some sleep.
Suk Jin's House 11:03 p.m.
Potassium cyanide has been detected from the cigarette butt.
Potassium cyanide?
Yeah, we haven't checked if it matches the poison analysis of the corpse yet.
So he was poisoned.
I think so.
That handkerchief has the initials S.J. Isn't this Mr. Na Suk Jin's...
I'm here to testify as a reference.
Thank you for coming.
Sure.
Why did you cause such trouble by doing something without my approval?
I just asked Mr. Na to quietly take care of Sun Ki, since he kept blackmailing us with Oh Soo.
But Sun Ki's death has nothing to do with us.
Mr. Na said he spoke with Sun Ki and went home.
Someone's trying to set us up.
Find out if Mr. Na made any mistakes and prepare for all cases.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Oh Seung Ha is here.
Let him in.
Hello, Congressman.
Have a seat.
So, have you thought about my offer?
I'm willing to accept any requests you have if you become our hotel attorney.
I like you.
I have two requests.
Go ahead.
I'd like to keep working for myself as well as the hotel.
You can't do that.
Yes, he can.
What's the other request?
For whatever cases you assign me, you cannot hide any information from me.
If you can't trust me, I have no reason to represent you.
That's common sense.
You should also remember the fact that you are here to support your client.
Of course.
When was the last time you saw Kim Sun Ki?
Yesterday morning.
So that means he wasn't home when you came home.
I thought he was sleeping in his room.
Watch your back.
The people you trust most are most likely to stab your back.
Distrust and betrayal will lead the friends to the Gates of Hell
Distrust and betrayal will lead the friends to the Gates of Hell.
You said you went on a drive last night.
Is there a witness?
No.
I was alone.
I see.
We found a handkerchief at the crime scene.
Is this yours?
Yes, it is.
Sun Ki must've taken it.
He used my stuff a lot.
I see.
He's hiding something.
I think so too.
Check his cell phone records
And all the automated traffic control cameras near the crime scene.
Yes, sir.
You said Sun Ki was home last night.
I explained.
And you don't have an alibi for the time of death.
Oh Soo.
Not only that, your handkerchief was found at the scene.
And you and Sun Ki had something going on I don't know of.
Are you suspecting me?
From what shows, you're a prominent suspect.
What? I didn't kill Sun Ki!
You have to prove that.
The manipulator is trying to make you look like it.
Your handkerchief was left at the scene. Yeong Chul was at your house at that time.
Everything was planned.
Yeong Chul?
You need evidence to prove you're innocent.
I am innocent. I don't have to prove it. The handkerchief can't prove me wrong.
I'm sure there's something else planned to prove so.
Tell me what you're hiding from me.
Tell me what you were really doing at that time.
You'll be free if you have an alibi.
I...
I went for a drive by myself.
This is our police station.
It's the day I was transferred here.
There's a finger.
It's pointing at you.
Which hospital is the old man Sung Joon Pyo met staying at?
It's useless. I went there today.
The old man is still weak.
I'm still going to go. He can hear even if he can't talk.
It's impossible for him to communicate.
Then, he can read or at least communicate with his eyes.
There must be a way.
Calm down, Detective Kang.
I heard about Kim Sun Ki's death.
I need to find a way to prove who the culprit is.
There's nothing I can do even when he's right in front of me.
No, there must be a way to prove it.
What do you mean he's in front of you?
I need to prove Jeong Tae Seong is the manipulator.
No, everything's useless.
Detective Kang.
It's useless to prove who Jeong Tae Seong is.
The only thing that can prove his identity is his testimony.
I can't do it in a rightful way.
Detective Kang?
Kang Oh Soo?
What's wrong?
I think Detective Kang is losing his composure.
He has to be strong.
Are you sure you didn't accidentally leave your handkerchief?
I checked everything before I left.
I think someone killed Sun Ki after I left and is trying to frame me.
Who would do that?
How would someone know you were there?
Oh Soo said he thinks it's the man who sent the tarot cards.
Oh Soo said that?
Yes.
You have an alibi, so you have nothing to worry about.
Didn't you say you were at home at the predicted time of death?
Actually, I went out on a drive to get some fresh air.
A drive?
Yes.
That's not going to help.
What if the police keep suspecting me?
Well, if you're innocent,
I don't think you should worry too much already.
But if the police find out I was there...
My father wants this case taken care of quietly.
If the police find out you ordered Gyeon Jong Chul to beat Sun Ki,
I'll do everything to help you, so don't worry too much.
He died?
Someone killed him after we left.
I think you should go somewhere, just in case.
I'll take care of myself.
Oh Seung Ha?
Oh Seung Ha.
Mr. Hwang Dae Pil.
What are you doing here?
What were you trying to tell me the other night on the phone?
I just called the wrong number.
You called to tell me the truth. Right?
I have nothing to say.
I know it's difficult.
I know you're scared.
I've been there before.
I was so scared to tell the truth.
I lived everyday in regret.
I kept looking back my whole life.
I kept thinking that I shouldn't have done that.
If I had told the truth, it would've been much better.
I lived in regret and guilt.
My life was hell. It was a living hell.
I told myself that it was okay, that it was an accident.
I ran away like a coward.
But the truth followed me everywhere I went.
No matter how far I ran away from the truth to catch a breath of air,
It followed me everywhere like a shadow.
Now I know.
I know I have nowhere to escape.
I know what I have to do now.
But I don't want to lose hope.
That's the last thing I want to give up on.
I don't want to give up the hope that I can live again.
We have to stop him before he victimizes someone else.
Please.
I have nothing to say.
I thought of Tae Hyeon day and night with every breath I took.
Life was a living hell.
But even then, I wanted to live.
Oh Soo stabbed Tae Hyeon with a knife. I saw him do it.
My poor Tae Hyeon!
-It's good isn't it? -Yeah, it's really good
Aren't you going home?
Would you like to have a drink with me?
What do you mean?
I checked Na Suk Jin's cell phone record.
He spoke with Gyeon Jong Chul three times that day.
And the last base station of where he made a phone call was near the warehouse where Kim Sun Ki died.
Gyeon Jong Chul's phone records show the same.
Are you sure?
Yes.
That means Na Suk Jin and Gyeon Jong Chul were near the warehouse that day.
We have the evidence from the scene.
Request search warrants from both of them.
Yes sir.
Detective Kang.
Don't you know Detective Kang is on suspension?
But that doesn't mean he can't come to the station.
I hear rumors saying he's still on the case.
That's all wrong.
It's not Suk Jin. It can't be him. It can't be.
Detective Kang.
Did you get my message?
Yeah I did.
I was just worried. I heard about your friend.
Mr. Kang?
You need to get some rest.
You look so tired.
I'm okay.
I'll call you later.
Sorry.
You have to be strong.
It wasn't your fault.
You need to eat and sleep well,
If you want to be a good detective.
I'm not a good detective.
Bye.
Suk Jin! Don't kill me.
Suk Jin, I'm sorry.
It's all my fault, Suk Jin.
Please, don't kill me.
Don't kill me, Suk Jin.
What the heck have you done?
Oh Soo.
You lied. You were near the warehouse where Sun Ki was at the time you said you were at the hotel.
Your cell phone records show you spoke with Gyeon Jong Chul.
What did you hire him for?
What did you do to Sun Ki?
I did not kill Sun Ki?
Oh Soo, trust me. You have to trust me.
Then prove it to me!
Make me trust you!
Why can't you say anything?
Make me understand what happened!
I met Sun Ki to persuade him.
What?
He kept blackmailing us about you.
So you killed Sun Ki for me?
No Oh Soo.
I didn't kill Sun Ki.
Like you said, someone's setting me up.
I met Sun Ki to persuade him.
Persuade him? Do you persuade a friend by beating him up?
I didn't beat him up.
Sun Ki wanted to meet there, so I did.
You expect me to believe that?
It's true.
Wife
Yeah.
You're with Na Suk Jin, right?
Then, just listen to me.
I'm on my way there with a search warrant.
The scientific investigation team's going to collect mud from his tires.
If the police find out you're there, it's going to cause trouble.
Mr. Ban wants to you to leave right now.
I've never seen you drink alcohol.
You never did even when you asked to go out for a drink.
I didn't?
Yeah, that's why I thought you couldn't really drink. I guess not.
I don't like being drunk.
Why not?
I'm scared I'll become a different person.
You're so perfect.
It makes a person feel more like a human by loosening up sometimes.
I don't seem like a human being?
I'm just saying you're very good at managing yourself.
Anyway, I had a lot on my mind, but a drink makes me feel better.
Kang Oh Soo is paying a lot for his mistakes.
If Jeong Tae Seong is alive and if he is the manipulator,
I understand how devastated Jeong Tae Seong would feel but...
I'm sure no one can understand him without the experience.
If I were Jeong Tae Seong,
I don't think I would be able to forgive Detective Kang.
It would be hard.
Even if it was an accident or not,
The man who killed his brother was released as a case of self-defense. Then his mother pass away.
It would've been worse for him if the incident had not been an accident.
Yes, that's right.
But, Oh Soo was only 17-years-old.
He was too young to have the courage.
You're very generous.
Jeong Tae Seong made me think of it that way.
What do you mean?
Jeong Tae Seong was too young to overcome all the pain.
He was 16-years-old when that tragedy happened.
He saw the dark side of the world too early.
That's why he was even more hurt and more unable to forgive Oh Soo.
The wounds one experiences at that age dominates the whole life.
If he had to go through all that pain when he was an adult instead of 16,
I think he wouldn't have chosen to go as far as murdering people.
I'm sure Detective Kang carried his wound for the past 12 years.
Both of them are still locked up at the ages of 16 and 17.
Mr. Oh.
Why are you just leaving?
Have you been drinking?
What's wrong?
He said his name was Seung Ha.
You're home late.
I had to work.
Did you have dinner?
My stomach hasn't been feeling good since the early dinner I had at Jeju yesterday.
You sure you don't have to go to the hospital?
It got a bit better after suffering a night of pain at the hotel.
Still, you should go see a doctor tomorrow.
I'll be okay.
I have to go to a funeral tomorrow.
Will you prepare my clothes?
Who passed away?
Kim Sun Ki.
You saw him at the hotel.
He died?
He was murdered.
We didn't find much at his house.
The mud from his tires is being analyzed.
Have you found Gyeon Jong Chul?
I think he already got away.
Sir.
Kang Sunbae.
We've got an arrest warrant for Na Suk Jin.
What are you talking about?
We don't have the evidence yet.
A traffic control camera caught him speeding near the warehouse.
It has nothing to do with me.
I know. I was just worried about you when I heard the news.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
I'll call you later.
What are you doing here?
This is a warrant for your arrest.
What?
You're being arrested for the suspicion of murdering Kim Sun Ki.
Murder? On what grounds are you arresting me?
We'll explain it to you at the station.
You've must have mistaken something.
You may testify at the station.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
Suk Jin is not the man who killed Sun Ki.
His handkerchief was found at the scene.
His phone records prove he was there.
And he was caught on the traffic control camera.
He could've been there, but he's not the killer.
Someone's trying to frame him.
You know that this is a scheme of the manipulator.
All the evidence is working against him.
We can investigate the case merely based on evidence.
Without his committing his crime, we won't get an arrest warrant.
You have to find evidence to prove you are right.
Or else, Na Suk Jin will have to prove his alibi.
I didn't do it. Oh Soo, you know, right?
You know I didn't do it.
Please believe me, Oh Soo.
That boy might be Jeong Tae Seong.
No I never lived in that neighborhood.
It's not going to do you any good to refuse to testify.
I did not kill Sun Ki.
We have evidence to prove you were at the crime scene on the day of the incident.
I was in the area, but I wasn't at the crime scene.
We're comparing the mud from your tires and shoes with the mud from the scene.
Please tell us the truth.
I will not speak before my attorney comes.
Excuse me, Mr. Ban.
Hello.
You're Mr. Na Suk Jin's attorney?
Yes I am.
What are you talking about?
I'm Mr. Na Suk Jin's attorney.
No way.
Kang Sunbae.
I'd like you to postpone the first report of his testimony until I speak with him.
Who told you to be his attorney?
What's wrong with you?
I won't let you. I won't ever let you!
Mr. Kang Hee Soo hired me.
Detective Kang.
Is anyone home?
Sora! Han Eul!
Hae In!
What brings you here?
I just...
Did you come to see Sora?
My wife took the girls over to her friend's house downtown.
Please come in. I'll call her.
Uhm...
When did you first meet Mr. Oh?
Why do you ask?
I just want to get to know him better.
He was 16-years-old, so it's been about 12 years.
I see. Do you, by any chance, have a picture of him from back then?
How did you know?
I had one left and just got it framed.
Here.
Thank you, too.
You'll be arrested immediately.
I know you didn't do it.
So please tell me what you're hiding from me.
I'd rather be a murderer.
Whose decision was it to hire Oh Seung Ha?
You can't be sure he's the one.
What's your purpose of doing this?
You and I are partners now, working on the same goal.
God predetermined a man's destiny, but man has the power to change it.
Everything is working based on your scheme.
When will it be enough for you?
