The Devil
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.
Seung Ha was 16-years-old, so it's been about 12 years.
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.
I got off work early in the morning and found Seung Ha passed out in front of the night club I was working at.
I carried him straight to the hospital.
The cause was malnutrition.
He seemed to have been starving for a long time.
He had a high fever and became delirious and said strange things.
I really thought he was about to die.
He woke up on the third day, and the first thing he said to me was,
"Give me some food."
I'm not bragging or anything, but my brother is a really good guy.
He worked day and night to earn money yet studied really hard too.
I'm sorry for talking about old stories. I was just reminiscing.
It's okay.
Don't feel so sorry for him.
It's all behind us now.
And Seung Ha has nothing to worry about.
Why don't you come inside?
I'm sorry. I have to go.
You should at least see Sora.
I remembered that I have something to do.
Really?
Did you and Seung Ha get into a fight?
That's how he is sometimes.
He doesn't really talk about himself or express his feelings well.
Please, don't tell Mr. Oh that I stopped by.
Okay. You should come over with Seung Ha on a weekend.
Episode 18
The Devil
Is it true you hired Oh Seung Ha as Suk Jin's attorney?
Yeah.
No, not him. Hire someone else.
What are you talking about?
Why hire him when you have your own hotel lawyers?
He's been hired as one of our hotel lawyers.
What?
He's best at dealing with criminal cases.
He got Jo Dong Sup probation.
Whose decision was it to hire Oh Seung Ha?
Dad recommended him. He assigned Mr. Oh to take Suk Jin's case.
Honestly, I don't like him either.
But I couldn't help it. It was Dad's decision.
Why are you against him so much? Is it because of Mr. Kwon?
Oh Seung Ha...
Prove to me that I'm Jeong Tae Seong and the manipulator.
Oh Soo.
I'll call you later.
I believe what you said.
If you had really killed Kim Sun Ki, you wouldn't have left your handkerchief.
You wouldn't have left the cigarette butt either.
Exactly. That's why I'm saying someone's trying to frame me.
But the circumstances or the evidence is unfavorable to you.
There's so much proving that you were there at the scene.
I did meet Sun Ki, but I didn't kill him.
What did you do?
Did you order Gyeon Jong Chul to physically attack him?
What's important is that we prove that you didn't kill Kim Sun Ki,
not the instigation of the attack.
I did order the physical attack.
Was it Kang Hee Soo who ordered you to do so?
No.
You have to tell me the truth, so I can protect you.
Mr. Kang just told me to quietly take care of the issue.
Is there anyone who can prove your alibi at the predicted time of death?
No.
What am I supposed to do now?
What we need is time.
We need to gain time to either prove your alibi at the predicted time of death,
Or find some other evidence to prove you innocent.
Do you think I have something to do with the manipulator?
No, I never lived in that neighborhood.
If there had been something you wanted to hide on the USB stick,
You could've switched it.
Are you alright?
What was going on with Mr. Oh?
Is Suk Jin testifying?
Yeah, you should sneak in.
Seo Hae In
Hello
This is Hae In.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
It's okay.
I have a question.
What is it?
Do you have a photo of Jeong Tae Seong when the incident happened?
There is no photo left of him.
I see. Are you sure he is manipulating everything?
Let's say he's alive, but you can't be sure he is the one.
Jeong Tae Seong might not be the manipulator, right?
Why are you asking that?
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened. I have to go.
I did meet Sun Ki near the warehouse that night.
But I did not kill him.
What did you two do?
We talked and went separate ways.
You hired Gyeon Jong Chul, a gang boss. Does it make sense that you only talked?
You hired Gyeon Jong Chul to kill Kim Sun Ki, didn't you?
I did not kill Sun Ki.
Your phone record shows that you called Gyeon Jong Chul at the scene.
Your car was caught on a traffic control camera near the scene.
And you have no alibi during the predicted time of death.
Are you still going to deny it?
The evidence proves that my client was at the scene.
But it does not prove that he killed Kim Sun Ki.
And my client has already stated that he met Kim Sun Ki at the scene.
The handkerchief and cigarette butt can be evidence to prove that my client did not kill Kim Sun Ki.
If he had killed him by hiring Gyeon Jong Chul,
He wouldn't have needed the cigarette to poison the victim.
He wouldn't have left his handkerchief behind either.
We are not assuming. Everything is based on evidence.
After you went home, you took the stairs to go out.
You didn't want to be caught on the elevator security camera.
You tried to make yourself an alibi proving you stayed home, didn't you?
That is also an assumption. You cannot prove it.
I understand the circumstances make my client suspicious.
But don't believe he is the killer based on merely the evidence of the circumstances.
What's your purpose of doing this?
You frame Suk Jin and then make him innocent, and what next?
What are you going to do after that?
My purpose is the same as yours.
I believe someone is trying to frame Mr. Na Suk Jin.
I'm trying to prove his innocence.
Are you saying that someone is you?
It's your job to find the killer.
You and I are partners now, working towards the same goal.
The only people who believe that Mr. Na Suk Jin did not kill Kim Sun Ki,
Are just you and me.
What are you planning to do?
I'm just doing my job as a lawyer.
And you need to do your job as a detective.
Everything is working on its own, like a wheel of destiny.
No, everything is working based on your scheme.
Like you said, I'm not God.
If there is a God, it's the human beings who change their destiny.
God predetermines a man's destiny, but man has the power to change it.
He's Na Suk Jin's attorney?
You didn't know that?
No I didn't know that.
I'll find out what happened.
Okay.
Hello
Hey, it's me.
Hey.
I'll fax you the list of runaway teenage boys you asked for.
Alright. Thanks.
We can't restrain him if we don't find any new evidence in the next 48 hours.
Mr. Oh has a point.
I know. But Na Suk Jin instigated Gyeon Jong Chul to beat Kim Sun Ki.
And it's most likely for Kim Sun Ki to have died during the beating.
We need to hold him down and get his confession if we want to prove that.
That's why we need more evidence!
In Na Suk Jin's cell phone record,
A lady named Choi Na Hee called Na Suk Jin at 11:02 p.m., the predicted time of death.
What's her name again?
Choi Na Hee. Do you know her?
What did the doctor say?
He suggested we get another shot at the artificial insemination.
I see.
It's up to you. What makes you happy makes me happy.
I'll think about it.
Where's Mr. Na? He wasn't at his desk.
He was arrested for Sun Ki's murder.
That can't be true. You know he's not that type of person.
There aren't certain types of people.
Normally, human beings are good.
But when it comes to certain moments, they suddenly change.
That's why people can be scary.
Answer your phone.
Okay.
Hello.
It's me Oh Soo.
Yes, Oh Soo.
Did you hear about Suk Jin?
I'll get right to the point.
You spoke with Suk Jin around 11:00 p.m. on the night of the incident.
I wanted to ask you why you called.
I called to ask him which hotel Hee Soo was staying at.
Did Hee Soo go to the hotel on Jeju Island?
Yes. Is Mr. Na really a suspect of a murder?
He's not the type of person who would do such a thing.
I know.
But the circumstances are unfavorable for him. He doesn't have an alibi.
An alibi?
I can't tell you the details. I have to go.
Is it Oh Soo?
Yes.
Why is he asking you about Suk Jin?
I called to ask him which hotel you were staying at.
I always stay at the same hotel.
Yes, I guess I've been kind of out of it these days.
I need to use the bathroom.
Nov. 1994-Dec. 1995
Oh Seung Ha-16 yrs.-Male
Jo Gyeong Suk- Orphanage Director
What's this? Maybe it's a different person that has the same name.
Aren't you here to see me?
I was just passing by.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Don't just say it. Show me you're sorry.
You can buy me dinner or take me to see a movie.
What should we do first?
The weather's nice. We should go for a walk first. Is that okay?
It feels good to skip work.
When I think about my childhood, I was really boring and weird.
I used to stay home reading books or drawing pictures.
Or I used to talk to plants.
You can communicate with plants?
Yeah, I have supernatural powers.
I'm not lying.
Other kids thought of me as a weird kid.
When I went to middle school, the girl sitting next to me said,
"You're an alien, right?"
An alien?
Yeah, I told her I was an alien. You know what she said?
What did she say?
"I knew it. I'm an alien too."
Let's be good friends.
That's how she became my first friend. She is Ju Hee.
After I made a friend, I immediately became an earthling.
I realized I was just a lonely kid who didn't have a friend.
Thanks to you, I got to talk and laugh a lot. I had fun.
I had fun too.
Go in.
Do you have something to say?
No, take care.
What's wrong? What's upsetting you?
I have a question.
Could it be a coincidence for me to take Jo Dong Sup's case?
If I were Jeong Tae Seong, I don't think I would be able to forgive Detective Kang.
Suk Jin's denying the accusation of the murder?
Yes, but the arrest warrant means they have some kind of evidence.
No, Suk Jin doesn't have the nerves to do such a thing.
It's the other guy Sung Joon Pyo was talking about.
I'm sure it's him.
Other guy?
Anyways, Suk Jin's a loyal guy.
He won't sell your name.
I didn't give out specific orders.
Are you saying you are not responsible for any of this?
What I meant was...
Your position requires a lot of responsibility of the people you manage.
If Suk Jin needs any help, you should give him your full support.
Yes, sir.
It's almost over.
It's almost over, Tae Hyeon.
This was in Kim Sun Ki's bag.
Sun Ki had this photo?
Yes. What's important is that it was in a red envelope.
What was sent to you?
A photo.
What kind of photo?
Just a man and a woman together.
Where is it?
I threw it away.
Call Suk Jin to the testifying room.
I can't understand why Sun Ki hid this photo from me.
Do you have any idea?
The first photo sent to Sun Ki was a photo of you and your girlfriend.
This was the second one.
Why do you think the photos were sent to him?
I don't know.
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
What is it? What's the secret you and Sun Ki have been hiding from me?
I told you there's no secret.
Suk Jin.
There's no secret.
There is no secret!
Everything happened because of you.
If it hadn't been for Tae Hyeon's incident, none of this would've ever happened.
If that would've never happened,
all these things wouldn't be happening to us.
You've got a delivery.
Okay.
Kim Sun Ki - From:Incheon - To: Hong Kong Check: $100 Check: $100
Have a seat.
Your brother is so sweet to always send you flowers.
Is this Miss Oh Seung Hee's room?
Who are you?
I'm Cha Gwang Doo.
I work for Mr. Oh Seung Ha as a director.
Has something happened to Seung Ha?
No, he doesn't know I'm here.
I'm sorry for coming without notice.
I need to speak with you.
Go ahead.
I found out that a boy names Oh Seung Ha,
Who was reported missing a long time ago, is actually Mr. Oh.
It wasn't you who made the report.
It was the orphanage director.
Seung Ha and I were raised there.
I know.
Ms. Jo must have called the police after I told her he left.
Seung Ha did not run away from the orphanage.
Why are you asking me this?
I'm trying to find a boy named Jeong Tae Seung who died in a car accident.
What does that have to do with Seung Ha?
I heard a USB stick with music was sent to you.
Yes?
I'm sure there was some kind of fact on it other than the music.
I don't understand what you are saying.
I also hope that I'm wrong.
There was only music on the USB stick. Nothing else.
I'd like you to leave if you've asked all your questions.
Jeong Tae Seung was a very poor boy.
He couldn't do anything about his brother's wrongful death.
His mother passed away shortly after that.
I'm sure no one can ever imagine the pain he had to suffer.
And no one tried to embrace his wound and pain.
I didn't either.
I don't deserve to blame him,
For trying to get revenge on the world.
I want to stop him from going on a path he can never turn back.
If you know something, please stop him.
I came to ask you that favor.
I'm going to tell Mr. Na Suk Jin to admit his crime of physical attack
After proving his innocence of the murder.
But is that possible?
I heard there is a lot of evidence unfavorable to him.
The real culprit is someone else.
How can you be so sure?
Mr. Na was with someone else at the time Kim Sun Ki was murdered.
Did he tell you who he was with?
I can't tell you because that is between us.
If the police don't find any other evidence,
he'll be released within 48 hours.
I'll try my hardest to find evidence or witnesses to prove his innocence.
Of course. But it is important that this case doesn't affect our hotel.
That's why we assigned you this case.
This is a personal case, not a case of the hotel.
You were sent as our hotel lawyer.
This is about Mr. Na, not the hotel.
If it were a case related to the hotel,
Mr. Kang would be responsible for ordering Kim Sun Ki's physical attack.
I'm a bit offended.
I apologize if I offended you.
Suk Jin is an employee of our hotel.
I'm concerned this case will critically affect our hotel reputation.
Then, it's even more important to prove his innocence isn't it?
Yes, but I think you do not quite understand how our hotel works.
I think we should assign you a partner who knows well about our hotel.
I appreciate it, but it's not necessary.
I have something to tell you.
Have a seat.
I'd like to speak to Detective Kang.
I'll tell him.
Is that Mr. Na Suk Jin's desk?
Yes.
Thank you.
Sir, the police came with a search warrant.
They're doing their job.
Help them as much as you can.
Yes, sir.
What kind of key is this?
It looks like a key to a locker.
Do you have personal lockers at the hotel?
I know Detective Kang is on suspension,
But Mr. Hwang said he'd only speak to him.
Hey.
Go in.
Have you heard from Mr. Cha?
He called and said he had family matters to take care of.
Did he tell you what happened?
No.
Okay.
I resented Sung Joon Pyo a lot.
I lived my whole life in hatred.
I've been getting letters for the past three years.
It was consoling to know that someone understood how I felt.
Then, I was given a chance to get my revenge.
Someone called you on a pay phone.
Yes.
First he said we had to wait and see what kind of decision Sung Joon Pyo made.
Decision?
Yes.
Then?
Like you said, someone informed me of Sung Joon Pyo's location.
I was driving around on stand by.
Do you remember any characteristic about the caller?
Anything about his voice or the way he talked.
He stuttered.
Did you record your conversation?
No.
What's this?
It looks like some pills.
What is this?
Maybe it's potassium cyanide.
I don't know. Let's have it analyzed.
She didn't come to work?
No her mother sent me a text message saying she's sick.
Okay.
Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system...
Please get us a seizure and search warrant on Kim Yeong Chul.
I can't get it just because the caller stuttered.
I'll check all the fingerprints from the pay phone he used to call Hwang Dae Pil.
I don't care if there are ten or a hundred fingerprints.
I'll have another team...
I'll do it.
You're still on suspension.
Even if Hwang turned himself in, the committee will decide whether you are back on the team.
We found a bottle of pills that are assumed to be potassium cyanide.
What do you mean?
We're waiting for the analysis result,
but if it is, then Na Suk Jin is the murderer.
Did you send it to the National Scientific Investigation lab?
Yes, we couldn't tell what it was.
But, we think it is potassium cyanide.
If it turns out to be that, we'll have to request an arrest warrant.
Someone else must've put it there.
Weren't there security cameras?
Dressing rooms don't have any for privacy purposes.
Why are you so surprised?
No, I'm not. When did you come?
Just now.
About the trip I told you about, we're leaving next week, so get ready for it.
A trip?
Yes, I rented a private house in the Province region of France.
Let's relax for about half a month.
Is that okay?
Yes, but thinking of Mr. Na,
I think we should go on it next time.
You don't have to worry about Suk Jin.
The company is taking care of it.
But...
Let me handle it.
You don't have to worry about it.
It's not a case that'll be over in a day or two anyway.
Potassium cyanide pills?
When we get the analysis results, you'll be arrested.
I know you didn't do it.
So please tell me what you are hiding from me.
Where did you go after you talked to me on the phone?
You'll be free if you tell me where you were and with whom.
I can't tell you Oh Soo.
Why not? Why can't you tell me?
I'd rather become a murderer.
What the heck are you saying?
I'm sorry.
Oh Soo, I'm really sorry.
You know the handkerchief found at the scene?
Yes.
Where is it?
She was sick the whole day. She just disappeared.
She turned off her phone.
I'll go look for her.
Don't worry too much.
Hae In.
What are you doing here?
You should've told your mother.
I was worried you might have fainted like last time.
Your mother is worried about you.
Why didn't I know?
Your back looked so much like the boy who gave me his umbrella.
Why didn't I know that?
He looked so exhausted.
He looked so tired.
The truth was all there.
Why didn't I know that?
I know you're suffering more than anyone.
I know it hurts you most because you can't stop yourself even when you are in so much pain.
But you have to come out.
No matter how tormenting it is,
You have to let yourself out of the dark tunnel.
You have to try your hardest to come out.
What are you talking about?
I'll be there for you.
I'll be by your side.
I'll be there for you Jeong Tae Seong.
I...
I don't need anyone.
You can't prove anything you said.
You couldn't prove anything 12 years ago, and you still can't.
Please stop...
Stop, please...
You can't give up like that.
Don't give up hope.
I don't believe in hope.
And I never look back on what I've done.
She didn't go to work, and she even turned off her phone.
Her mom sent me a text message.
She was looking for her, saying she was really sick.
Call me if she calls you.
Okay.
Hae In.
I was worried when I heard you called in sick for work.
I'm okay.
You don't look so good.
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
Did...
Never mind. I should get going since I saw you. Get some rest.
Wait.
Was there any evidence where your friend passed away?
The culprit left a handkerchief?
I was going to ask you to take a look at it.
Did you bring it with you?
It's in the car.
But I don't think your images will really help now.
It wears you out.
And like he said, his confession will...
Do you know who it is?
No, I'm saying he only leaves traces and no evidence.
You are a really good guy.
I'll try to see what I can see from the handkerchief.
I know it can't be any kind of evidence, but I want to see for myself.
I wanted to tell you the truth.
It's different.
Different?
The images are different from what I've seen before.
There is no Gates of Hell or the locker.
Then what?
Your friend was talking to someone with his face beaten up.
What did he say?
He said, "I wanted to tell you the truth, sir."
He was being formal.
Yes, and I saw a picture.
A picture?
Yes, it was a man and a woman in a car.
They were hugging.
Kang Oh Soo
This is Oh Seung Ha.
What's on your mind?
Potassium cyanide pills were found in Suk Jin's locker.
So what?
You said you and I were working for the same purpose.
You said I'd be able to prove Suk Jin's innocence if I cooperated.
How can I do that?
You mean you're willing to fulfill you Oedipus responsibilities?
Cut the crap out and tell me what I have to do.
The truth you are looking for will crush your heart.
Are you still willing to do it?
I don't care about my heart if I can save Suk Jin.
You already have all the evidence of the culprit.
What do you mean?
You have Mr. Na's cell phone record and the photo.
You once said to me that not everything you see it true.
And you said that even human beings can't be perceive the truth they see.
There is evidence that you can see and not see.
Begin with the evidence you can see.
Then, look for the truth that your eyes can't see.
I'm curious what decision you will make when you find out the truth.
The cell phone record and photo...
Evidence that I can see and not see...
Who would send a photo of Suk Jin hugging his girlfriend?
What did you do with the photo you tore up?
I threw it away.
I flushed it down the toilet.
I called to ask him which hotel Hee Soo was staying at.
I'd rather be a murderer.
What the heck are you saying?
I'm sorry.
Oh Soo, I'm really sorry.
When will it be enough for you?
How far?
You didn't, right?
You didn't, did you?
No, it can't be true.
You and my sister-in-law can't be, right?
Tell me I'm crazy.
Tell me I'm wrong.
What are you talking about?
You're wrong Oh Soo. You're wrong.
Look at me in the eye and say it.
Look at me straight in the eye and say it!
Oh Soo...
