Death's Game (2023) s01e06 Episode Script
Memory
1
Didn't I tell you?
You can never beat me.
But then again,
you never would've guessed
that you'd end up like this.
But I did.
You did?
I remembered…
Bo-ri.
Bo-ri?
Through the memory…
of Park Jin-tae, who you killed.
How did you know
that I killed Park Jin-tae?
Because…
I was once your brother,
Park Jin-tae.
DEATH'S GAME
EPISODE 6
MEMORY
Did you
get yourself killed on purpose?
Let's move on to the next life.
So you're getting your revenge
in your next life?
My mom once told me,
"Your sins will end up
finding their way back to you,
so don't ever commit them."
But I learned
that the sins of the rich
never seem to come back to them.
I'll make Park Tae-u pay for what he did.
The punished becomes the punisher?
That will only make you
pay a greater price.
I have to do something since God won't.
I'll show you that I can win
playing by the rules you've created.
When will you realize…
that death
never goes as planned?
What's this?
Why am I running?
Am I chasing that man?
Stop chasing me, pig!
What? Pig?
Am I a cop, then?
Good.
What?
I'm going to kill you.
Wait.
Hold on.
Die!
Move out of the way!
Ji-hyeong.
Were you running away just now?
Well, you see…
I won't ask you to sacrifice yourself
for your partner.
But at the very least,
let's not embarrass ourselves.
Come on!
My name is An Ji-hyeong.
I'm 42 years old.
POLICE HOSPITAL FUNERAL HALL
My father, who was a policeman,
died on duty while trying
to apprehend violent offenders,
and I wanted to be a great cop
just like my father.
Mom! I passed the test.
I'm a policeman, just like Father.
What?
-Mom!
-My mother fell sick with worry,
afraid that I might end up
dying like my father,
so I made a promise to her
that no matter what happened,
I would look after myself above all else.
That punk always bails at crucial moments.
Consider yourself one officer short
when you're out with him.
Keeping my promise to my mother
-Jeez.
-turned me into a pathetic detective
who was looked down on by his peers.
And recently…
my mother passed away.
All that was left for me
was the cold disdain of my colleagues,
who saw me as a selfish wimp.
Excuse me.
Stay right there
if you want to keep your job.
Even I began to believe
that was my true nature.
I belatedly realized
that a person's character is determined
not by the beliefs they hold,
but by the actions
over the course of their lifetime.
I guess this man deserves some pity.
So that's why his junior detective
looked down on him like that.
Give me my money!
-Where's my money?
-Huh?
My money!
They promised me
100 million won if I kill you.
Just die, you bastard.
Give me my money!
-That bastard.
-Where is it?
Give me my 100 million won, you bastard!
Kim Ji-yeong.
Long time no see.
Who the hell are you?
You must love playing with knives.
Now you're just
pulling that thing out wherever.
Do you want to die too?
Technically,
you did get me once already.
What is this crazy bastard saying?
Who the hell are you?
Me?
My face may have changed a little,
but I'm Cho Tae-sang,
who you used to serve.
What?
What a load of bullshit.
I stabbed that bastard to death myself!
Wow.
That's a great way
of confessing to murder.
Fuck. Stop filming.
-I said, stop filming!
-Hey.
How many more people are you going to kill
for that 100 million won
Park Tae-u gave you?
Why you…
This man was just looking out for himself.
He wasn't weak at all.
That's enough.
Are you all right?
I'm a detective.
-Damn it.
-Cuff him.
Stop glaring at me.
Take him to the station.
That was cool! You're the best!
KNIFE-WIELDING MAN IN MOKSU-DONG
SUBDUED WITH BARE HANDS
What the…
Can you believe this?
Why aren't you working on your cases?
What's with the huddle?
Sir, you should see this.
What is it?
That guy looks a lot like Ji-hyeong.
You may find this hard to believe,
but it is him.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do you expect me to believe
that's Ji-hyeong?
Sir, it really is Detective An.
He's all the rage online right now.
They're calling him a hero.
What?
Hey, he's on the news as well.
JUNGBU POLICEMAN ARRESTS ARMED MAN
Check to see
if he recently got life insurance.
-Do it.
-Do it.
Do it.
Yes, sir.
You morons!
But where is he?
Yes, sir.
He said he wanted to visit
a serial murder suspect's home,
so I'm accompanying him.
We don't know for sure yet.
Yes, sir.
Park Tae-u.
My revenge begins now.
Sir, I got you the documents
you requested.
Why don't you join me for dinner tonight?
I'm sorry?
I've come across a great spot recently.
Why don't we go there?
Yes, sir.
I'm looking forward to
going to a place you like.
I feel the same way.
I've never gone there with a woman before.
Let's take my car.
Get ready.
Yes, sir.
I'll use that place as my playground.
Ji-hyeong.
Trespassing without a warrant
can get us into trouble!
It's fine. This house
doesn't have an owner anymore.
What?
Making creepy art
doesn't make you a serial killer.
AUTHOR LEE JI-SU
Ji-hyeong,
this place does seem a bit fishy.
What's that?
This is…
Jeong Gyu-cheol had a habit
of recording the murders he committed.
I'll get the forensics team.
Now,
why don't you start begging me…
to spare you?
COPYING 12 ITEMS
DELETE
Spray the paintings as well.
Jeong Gyu-cheol used
the blood of his victims as paint.
Let's turn the lights off.
Hey.
An Ji-hyeong!
My detective instinct tells me…
that you're not An Ji-hyeong.
What?
How did he know?
Look me in the eyes!
You little shit…
Are you possessed?
Can you do magic tricks too?
Well done!
See?
I knew you had it in you.
What's with him?
Goodness.
Something must have happened here.
You're Mr. Park Tae-u of Taekang, correct?
That's right.
What's going on here?
I'm Detective An Ji-hyeong.
I like you.
You feed off the dead skin cells
of other people's feet.
You remember me, don't you?
We've blocked off the area
because of a murder that occurred nearby.
Have you ever heard this saying?
"Criminals…
always return to the scene of the crime."
I don't get
why you would say that to me.
I'm just warning you to stay away
so you're not mistaken as the culprit.
I'm only telling you this
because it's you.
May I ask
the name of your companion?
It's Lee Hui-u.
Why do you need my name?
We need to keep a record
of anyone who passes by the area.
Who knows?
You might end up going missing.
Killers don't walk around
wearing name tags, you see.
An ordinary-looking person
may be a hideous demon on the inside.
Isn't that right?
Am I free to go?
Of course.
I'll see you soon,
Park Tae-u.
Get out.
Sir.
I've lost my appetite, so get out.
An Ji-hyeong…
Detective An. Let us take a photo.
The armed man arrested
by Detective An Ji-hyeong in Moksu-dong
shockingly turned out to be
the culprit of a murder
that happened a few days ago.
On top of that,
Detective An is finding himself
in the limelight once more
for uncovering the identity
of the elusive serial killer,
Jeong Gyu-cheol, the painter.
It was Detective An who discovered
that Jeong Gyu-cheol was the serial killer
behind 15 murders.
Saying that there is no perfect crime,
he expressed his will
to bring all criminals to justice
before the world.
Yes.
Sir.
We've taken care of
Jeong Gyu-cheol's body.
Well done.
About Detective An Ji-hyeong…
It felt like he knew something.
DISARMING SOMEONE WITH A SHOULDER THROW
This guy is getting on my nerves.
I'll take care of him.
Thank you, Detective An.
We'll run it as an exclusive
on tonight's news.
I appreciate it.
Of course.
Your team was last
in terms of performance,
but you've done a good job as of late.
It's all thanks to you, sir.
Keep it up.
I'll give you a special promotion
if all of this ends well.
Thank you, sir!
JUNGBU POLICE STATION
Ji-hyeong, come here.
My baby.
Ji-hyeong. Can we talk?
Sure.
Keep up the good work!
I saw you
making copies of and deleting videos
in Jeong Gyu-cheol's room.
What?
What were those videos of?
They show who killed Jeong Gyu-cheol.
Was Jeong Gyu-cheol murdered?
Yes.
Then why would you…
Because the culprit…
was Park Tae-u.
As in Park Tae-u, the CEO of Taekang?
That's right.
So why…
Do you think they'd ever air those videos?
They'd be destroyed
the moment we brought them to the station.
I'll make sure
that bastard Park Tae-u
is brought to justice.
Ji-hyeong.
She's back again.
Is that investigation still going on?
What's she being investigated for?
Don't you know about the money bag case?
It even made the news
and caused quite a stir.
That bag was found in her house.
They went through
all the security cameras in the area
and found out who put the bag in her home,
but he was found dead
from a traffic accident.
It only ended up
putting her in a difficult spot.
I heard she even lost her son
not long ago.
Ma'am.
I can only let you go if you cooperate.
I really don't know.
Do you not remember?
I know nothing about this.
Jeez.
I can't do anything right,
even after I die.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I was thinking of how to address you best
and ended up making a mistake.
I apologize, ma'am.
It's fine.
It was nice to hear someone call me that.
One moment.
Gosh.
It's fine.
I'll do it myself.
You could get hurt
if you trip on your shoelaces.
You should wear
shoes without laces from now on.
This is the first pair of shoes
my son bought me.
Gosh.
You didn't have to prepare a gift.
Open it.
My goodness.
They're beautiful.
Thank you, son.
When I'm wearing these,
it feels like my son is still with me.
I'm sure your son…
wishes for your health and well-being.
Right. Thank you.
If I may,
why did you report that bag of money?
You should've just kept it.
Because it felt like
a punishment from the heavens.
A punishment?
A punishment for having failed
to save my own son.
It felt like I was being paid
in exchange for my son's life,
so I didn't want it.
He meant so much more
than all the money in the world.
Well, then.
Please make sure to eat
and not skip any meals.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
SPECIAL DELIVERY
HAEAM-DONG, GANGNAM-GU
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REPOR
What do you think you're doing?
What is this?
Have you been digging up dirt on me?
All the pets we raised in this house
died very quickly.
And I know the reason why
because I'm your parent.
And now you're going after people--
Is that why you sent me abroad
when I was a child
and kept tabs on me?
Were you ashamed of me?
Or…
did I scare you?
When I was young,
I used to love
reading books about royalty.
I could relate to them.
In a royal family,
blood-related siblings
were adversaries
who had to fight to the death.
Their fathers were no exception.
Are you out of your mind,
you crazy bastard?
Once again,
I was the one who decided
whether someone lives or dies.
They call you the judge and the savior,
but you're nothing but an illusion.
Both judgment and salvation
are mine to give,
not you.
-Yes, Director?
-Mr. Park.
Our station received a tip-off
from Detective An Ji-hyeong
that he had a video
of Jeong Gyu-cheol being murdered.
And?
He claims that the person who murdered him
is you, Mr. Park.
It looks like that video
will be aired on tonight's broadcast.
I'm sorry, sir.
I tried to stop it.
All right.
Thank you for telling me.
MR. PARK TAE-U
Have you dealt with An Ji-hyeong?
Are you looking for me? How sweet.
-Who are you?
-Me?
An Ji-hyeong.
No way.
Gosh.
You seem to be on the slow side, Mr. Park.
Why don't we meet?
I'll text you a location.
That's not how it works.
You suggested it.
Shouldn't you come to me?
Then where should I go?
Come down to the station.
The police station.
Right.
All your wrongdoings
must make you scared to come here.
Let's see, then.
I'll go to where you are
after the evening news is over.
I couldn't help but notice
that you only wore luxury brands.
I'll specially prepare
a pair of German handcuffs for you.
-You son of a bitch--
-What a dirty mouth.
Name.
-You caught me.
-Answer me.
You go catch them.
He's doing all the work he hasn't done
for the last 12 years,
all in this week.
But what's this?
Why do I get the feeling
that something's about to go wrong?
It doesn't feel right.
Hello?
Yes, Commissioner General.
An Ji-hyeong?
THE PEOPLE'S POLICE
-It was so tough in there.
-Are you okay?
Goodness.
Well then,
I'll leave you to it, Mr. Park.
Thank you, Commissioner General.
I didn't expect you
to come all the way here.
We truly have a special bond.
It's more like a curse.
My guess is that
you aren't here to turn yourself in.
So why are you here?
I want to negotiate a deal with you.
What?
What is it that you want?
Money?
Prestige?
Connections?
Why don't you read through this
and sign it?
If you just look the other way,
you'll get many more benefits
in the years to come.
You could even end up
sitting in this office
if you swallow your pride
and cozy up to me.
I don't need things
like money or prestige.
Then what is it that you want?
You.
This is all I have.
I want you to bet everything you have too.
What do you get out of doing all this?
The satisfaction of teaching
a maniac who thinks he's a god
that he's nothing more
than a crazed lunatic.
This entire country is my playground.
You're just a stray dog
running about in it,
having forgotten your place.
I'll shit all over your playground then.
Putting down a stray dog like you
isn't a big deal for me.
If you keep this up--
The worst that happens is I die.
You must think you have nine lives.
Nice.
I see that you're not completely clueless.
Let's put an end…
to our cursed bond in this life.
It'll happen…
whether you want it to or not.
Meet me on the first floor in 30 minutes.
I'll cuff you then.
I'll have Detective Lee take care of this.
Yes, sir.
Understood.
A man was found dead
after having bled to death
on a deserted road.
The driver was found
with a stab wound on his neck.
He was found to have been drunk
at the time of his passing.
I've heated it up.
-Caring, aren't I?
-There were no security cameras.
-Right. Enjoy it.
-Furthermore, the car's dashcam
was missing its memory card.
To help solve the case,
-It's about to begin.
-police are waiting for
-That's right.
-possible witnesses to come forward.
MAN IN HIS FORTIES
FOUND DEAD ON A DESERTED ROAD
This just in.
Park Tae-u, Taekang's CEO,
will be turning himself in
for the murder of Jeong Gyu-cheol,
the serial killer.
-What the…
-More from our reporter at the scene.
-There he is.
-Here he comes.
I murdered Jeong Gyu-cheol…
a serial killer
who took the lives of 15 victims.
A few days ago…
TAEKANG CEO PARK'S URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE
…I was kidnapped.
I was taken somewhere,
not knowing what was going on.
I only found out after I got there
that the man who kidnapped me
was Jeong Gyu-cheol,
the serial killer
who took 15 people's lives.
That's when I realized
that I was given
the first and final chance
to bring that serial killer to justice.
Are you saying you killed him
to punish him for his crimes?
I was left with two options.
Kill him or be killed by him.
That was it.
And I felt
that it was my responsibility
to put a stop to his senseless killings.
Then where is Jeong Gyu-cheol's body?
That's the one thing
I'm unsure of.
I thought I had killed him
while I was struggling against him.
I was deeply confused when I saw the news
that his body hadn't been found.
I offer my sincerest apologies
for letting down
the people of this country.
And I don't know when it will be,
but if I ever get another chance,
I will follow my life motto
and give back
as much as I have received.
Are you saying
your actions were justified?
That was the report from the scene.
We will now show you exclusive footage
that allegedly shows Mr. Park
murdering Jeong Gyu-cheol.
EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE
OF PARK TAE-U KILLING JEONG GYU-CHEOL
As you can see,
that's all there is to the footage.
What?
This footage isn't enough
to be put forward as evidence
that Mr. Park murdered Jeong Gyu-cheol.
We are only left with suspicions
that he may still be alive.
The footage only proves
that Mr. Park had been kidnapped,
as he has previously stated…
We've already decided
to dismiss all your charges.
I'm sorry to have troubled you today.
Oh, not at all. Please don't say that.
You've done so much for us over the years.
We are forever in your debt.
That's right.
MEDIA MANAGEMENT MANUAL
Tell every media outlet
that we'll pull all our ads
if they write
a single negative thing about us!
Park Tae-u is innocent!
-He's innocent!
-He's innocent!
All members of our party
-believe that Mr. Park Tae-u is innocent!
-Believe that Mr. Park Tae-u is innocent!
Many civic groups and politicians
have expressed
their support for Mr. Park Tae-u.
You fabricated evidence
and leaked it to the press.
Ruin your life all you want.
But why drag me into this?
I didn't fabricate evidence.
Why do the press and the police
keep saying that all the evidence
against Park Tae-u is fabricated?
That's why people like Park Tae-u
think the entire world is a joke.
What did you say?
Please calm down, sir.
He was only trying to…
You'll both be fired!
Chief!
Reports of Jeong Gyu-cheol sightings
have continued to flow in today.
Was he truly murdered?
With Jeong Gyu-cheol's body missing,
Mr. Park Tae-u is scheduled
to be released today
due to a lack of circumstantial evidence
backing his admission of guilt.
It was a great story.
But
I decide how it ends.
There's even a greater ending
waiting for you.
I always give back as much as I receive.
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
Sir. Should I delay
your flight to the States?
No. Proceed as planned.
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
Mr. Park.
There weren't any copies of the video
in An Ji-hyeong's home.
And I've managed to capture him.
Keep him alive.
I'm going to deal with him myself.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
Park Tae-u.
I know you killed
more than just Jeong Gyu-cheol.
You also killed Park Jin-tae,
Song Jae-seop, Cho Tae-sang,
Jang Geon-u, Lee Ji-su, and Lee Su-yeon.
You will pay for your sins.
Who are you?
What the hell?
What's going on?
You killed your brother Park Jin-tae
and disguised it as an accident.
And then,
to distract the press and the public
from taking an interest in his death,
you offered Song Jae-seop
three billion won,
which you knew he couldn't refuse.
You had him jump from 8 000 m up
without a parachute
to his death.
This plane will explode in 30 seconds,
just like when Park Jin-tae died.
What?
Song Jae-seop jumped without a parachute,
but I'll give you a chance.
Jump off this plane with a parachute
if you wish to live.
A parachute?
Damn it.
Where's the parachute?
Shit!
What the hell?
What are you doing here?
But if I ever get another chance…
ONE WEEK AGO
…I will follow my life motto
and give back…
TAEKANG CEO PARK'S URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE
…as much as I have received.
He's acting exactly
the way I expected him to.
Thank you, Park Tae-u.
You've raised the stakes for this round.
Since the world
won't bring you to justice,
I'll use their memories
to bring you to justice myself.
The only thing we can trust
in our line of work is this.
This hard drive contains
all the dirt we collected on our clients.
All of your sins
will find their way back to you.
Through Park Jin-tae's memory,
I learned that Park Tae-u
stored narcotics in his fountain pen.
I swapped them out with sleeping pills.
And I've managed to capture him.
Keep him alive.
I'm going to deal with him myself.
Yes, sir.
Using Lee Ju-hun's memory,
I installed a bomb in the plane's engine
and made the plane take off.
After that, I used Song Jae-seop's memory
to throw a counterpunch.
This will make a bigger impact
after Park Tae-u
raised the stakes himself.
We'll now show you the videos
related to Mr. Park Tae-u.
EVIDENCE OF PARK TAE-U'S MURDERS SECURED
Isn't this your brother?
Brother, my ass.
Make his death look like an accident.
Along with the video
of Mr. Park Tae-u ordering a hit
on his brother Park Jin-tae,
a video of him confessing to murder
was also uploaded.
But no matter how many people
I ran over after that,
I couldn't experience
the sensation I had felt then.
How did you know
that I killed Park Jin-tae?
Along with the videos,
there was a release of evidence
proving that the Commissioner General
and high-ranking police officers
covered up Mr. Park Tae-u's crimes
in exchange for bribes.
What the hell?
What are you doing here?
You're not the one who gets to decide
how this story ends.
Every good story
always has a twist.
You acted as if you were a god.
How do you feel now?
You killed Ji-su.
You murdered her!
Park Tae-u,
let's go to hell together.
Whatever.
Screw Death's rules!
I don't give a fuck.
I'm going to kill this bastard.
AUTHOR LEE JI-SU
Does that story of yours
have a happy ending?
I sincerely hope
that your story ends happily.
Ji-su…
Are you still standing there?
Are you afraid to turn back?
The face I somberly remembered
The person I'm grateful for
The person I owe
Although there's no miracle we hoped for
Nor the strength to get back on our feet
Listen to the voice that embraces you
"I love you"
"I love you"
If you're still hesitating
I hope you find the courage
To stand up again
And overcome it
Subtitle translation by: Sonya Hong
Didn't I tell you?
You can never beat me.
But then again,
you never would've guessed
that you'd end up like this.
But I did.
You did?
I remembered…
Bo-ri.
Bo-ri?
Through the memory…
of Park Jin-tae, who you killed.
How did you know
that I killed Park Jin-tae?
Because…
I was once your brother,
Park Jin-tae.
DEATH'S GAME
EPISODE 6
MEMORY
Did you
get yourself killed on purpose?
Let's move on to the next life.
So you're getting your revenge
in your next life?
My mom once told me,
"Your sins will end up
finding their way back to you,
so don't ever commit them."
But I learned
that the sins of the rich
never seem to come back to them.
I'll make Park Tae-u pay for what he did.
The punished becomes the punisher?
That will only make you
pay a greater price.
I have to do something since God won't.
I'll show you that I can win
playing by the rules you've created.
When will you realize…
that death
never goes as planned?
What's this?
Why am I running?
Am I chasing that man?
Stop chasing me, pig!
What? Pig?
Am I a cop, then?
Good.
What?
I'm going to kill you.
Wait.
Hold on.
Die!
Move out of the way!
Ji-hyeong.
Were you running away just now?
Well, you see…
I won't ask you to sacrifice yourself
for your partner.
But at the very least,
let's not embarrass ourselves.
Come on!
My name is An Ji-hyeong.
I'm 42 years old.
POLICE HOSPITAL FUNERAL HALL
My father, who was a policeman,
died on duty while trying
to apprehend violent offenders,
and I wanted to be a great cop
just like my father.
Mom! I passed the test.
I'm a policeman, just like Father.
What?
-Mom!
-My mother fell sick with worry,
afraid that I might end up
dying like my father,
so I made a promise to her
that no matter what happened,
I would look after myself above all else.
That punk always bails at crucial moments.
Consider yourself one officer short
when you're out with him.
Keeping my promise to my mother
-Jeez.
-turned me into a pathetic detective
who was looked down on by his peers.
And recently…
my mother passed away.
All that was left for me
was the cold disdain of my colleagues,
who saw me as a selfish wimp.
Excuse me.
Stay right there
if you want to keep your job.
Even I began to believe
that was my true nature.
I belatedly realized
that a person's character is determined
not by the beliefs they hold,
but by the actions
over the course of their lifetime.
I guess this man deserves some pity.
So that's why his junior detective
looked down on him like that.
Give me my money!
-Where's my money?
-Huh?
My money!
They promised me
100 million won if I kill you.
Just die, you bastard.
Give me my money!
-That bastard.
-Where is it?
Give me my 100 million won, you bastard!
Kim Ji-yeong.
Long time no see.
Who the hell are you?
You must love playing with knives.
Now you're just
pulling that thing out wherever.
Do you want to die too?
Technically,
you did get me once already.
What is this crazy bastard saying?
Who the hell are you?
Me?
My face may have changed a little,
but I'm Cho Tae-sang,
who you used to serve.
What?
What a load of bullshit.
I stabbed that bastard to death myself!
Wow.
That's a great way
of confessing to murder.
Fuck. Stop filming.
-I said, stop filming!
-Hey.
How many more people are you going to kill
for that 100 million won
Park Tae-u gave you?
Why you…
This man was just looking out for himself.
He wasn't weak at all.
That's enough.
Are you all right?
I'm a detective.
-Damn it.
-Cuff him.
Stop glaring at me.
Take him to the station.
That was cool! You're the best!
KNIFE-WIELDING MAN IN MOKSU-DONG
SUBDUED WITH BARE HANDS
What the…
Can you believe this?
Why aren't you working on your cases?
What's with the huddle?
Sir, you should see this.
What is it?
That guy looks a lot like Ji-hyeong.
You may find this hard to believe,
but it is him.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do you expect me to believe
that's Ji-hyeong?
Sir, it really is Detective An.
He's all the rage online right now.
They're calling him a hero.
What?
Hey, he's on the news as well.
JUNGBU POLICEMAN ARRESTS ARMED MAN
Check to see
if he recently got life insurance.
-Do it.
-Do it.
Do it.
Yes, sir.
You morons!
But where is he?
Yes, sir.
He said he wanted to visit
a serial murder suspect's home,
so I'm accompanying him.
We don't know for sure yet.
Yes, sir.
Park Tae-u.
My revenge begins now.
Sir, I got you the documents
you requested.
Why don't you join me for dinner tonight?
I'm sorry?
I've come across a great spot recently.
Why don't we go there?
Yes, sir.
I'm looking forward to
going to a place you like.
I feel the same way.
I've never gone there with a woman before.
Let's take my car.
Get ready.
Yes, sir.
I'll use that place as my playground.
Ji-hyeong.
Trespassing without a warrant
can get us into trouble!
It's fine. This house
doesn't have an owner anymore.
What?
Making creepy art
doesn't make you a serial killer.
AUTHOR LEE JI-SU
Ji-hyeong,
this place does seem a bit fishy.
What's that?
This is…
Jeong Gyu-cheol had a habit
of recording the murders he committed.
I'll get the forensics team.
Now,
why don't you start begging me…
to spare you?
COPYING 12 ITEMS
DELETE
Spray the paintings as well.
Jeong Gyu-cheol used
the blood of his victims as paint.
Let's turn the lights off.
Hey.
An Ji-hyeong!
My detective instinct tells me…
that you're not An Ji-hyeong.
What?
How did he know?
Look me in the eyes!
You little shit…
Are you possessed?
Can you do magic tricks too?
Well done!
See?
I knew you had it in you.
What's with him?
Goodness.
Something must have happened here.
You're Mr. Park Tae-u of Taekang, correct?
That's right.
What's going on here?
I'm Detective An Ji-hyeong.
I like you.
You feed off the dead skin cells
of other people's feet.
You remember me, don't you?
We've blocked off the area
because of a murder that occurred nearby.
Have you ever heard this saying?
"Criminals…
always return to the scene of the crime."
I don't get
why you would say that to me.
I'm just warning you to stay away
so you're not mistaken as the culprit.
I'm only telling you this
because it's you.
May I ask
the name of your companion?
It's Lee Hui-u.
Why do you need my name?
We need to keep a record
of anyone who passes by the area.
Who knows?
You might end up going missing.
Killers don't walk around
wearing name tags, you see.
An ordinary-looking person
may be a hideous demon on the inside.
Isn't that right?
Am I free to go?
Of course.
I'll see you soon,
Park Tae-u.
Get out.
Sir.
I've lost my appetite, so get out.
An Ji-hyeong…
Detective An. Let us take a photo.
The armed man arrested
by Detective An Ji-hyeong in Moksu-dong
shockingly turned out to be
the culprit of a murder
that happened a few days ago.
On top of that,
Detective An is finding himself
in the limelight once more
for uncovering the identity
of the elusive serial killer,
Jeong Gyu-cheol, the painter.
It was Detective An who discovered
that Jeong Gyu-cheol was the serial killer
behind 15 murders.
Saying that there is no perfect crime,
he expressed his will
to bring all criminals to justice
before the world.
Yes.
Sir.
We've taken care of
Jeong Gyu-cheol's body.
Well done.
About Detective An Ji-hyeong…
It felt like he knew something.
DISARMING SOMEONE WITH A SHOULDER THROW
This guy is getting on my nerves.
I'll take care of him.
Thank you, Detective An.
We'll run it as an exclusive
on tonight's news.
I appreciate it.
Of course.
Your team was last
in terms of performance,
but you've done a good job as of late.
It's all thanks to you, sir.
Keep it up.
I'll give you a special promotion
if all of this ends well.
Thank you, sir!
JUNGBU POLICE STATION
Ji-hyeong, come here.
My baby.
Ji-hyeong. Can we talk?
Sure.
Keep up the good work!
I saw you
making copies of and deleting videos
in Jeong Gyu-cheol's room.
What?
What were those videos of?
They show who killed Jeong Gyu-cheol.
Was Jeong Gyu-cheol murdered?
Yes.
Then why would you…
Because the culprit…
was Park Tae-u.
As in Park Tae-u, the CEO of Taekang?
That's right.
So why…
Do you think they'd ever air those videos?
They'd be destroyed
the moment we brought them to the station.
I'll make sure
that bastard Park Tae-u
is brought to justice.
Ji-hyeong.
She's back again.
Is that investigation still going on?
What's she being investigated for?
Don't you know about the money bag case?
It even made the news
and caused quite a stir.
That bag was found in her house.
They went through
all the security cameras in the area
and found out who put the bag in her home,
but he was found dead
from a traffic accident.
It only ended up
putting her in a difficult spot.
I heard she even lost her son
not long ago.
Ma'am.
I can only let you go if you cooperate.
I really don't know.
Do you not remember?
I know nothing about this.
Jeez.
I can't do anything right,
even after I die.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I was thinking of how to address you best
and ended up making a mistake.
I apologize, ma'am.
It's fine.
It was nice to hear someone call me that.
One moment.
Gosh.
It's fine.
I'll do it myself.
You could get hurt
if you trip on your shoelaces.
You should wear
shoes without laces from now on.
This is the first pair of shoes
my son bought me.
Gosh.
You didn't have to prepare a gift.
Open it.
My goodness.
They're beautiful.
Thank you, son.
When I'm wearing these,
it feels like my son is still with me.
I'm sure your son…
wishes for your health and well-being.
Right. Thank you.
If I may,
why did you report that bag of money?
You should've just kept it.
Because it felt like
a punishment from the heavens.
A punishment?
A punishment for having failed
to save my own son.
It felt like I was being paid
in exchange for my son's life,
so I didn't want it.
He meant so much more
than all the money in the world.
Well, then.
Please make sure to eat
and not skip any meals.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
SPECIAL DELIVERY
HAEAM-DONG, GANGNAM-GU
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REPOR
What do you think you're doing?
What is this?
Have you been digging up dirt on me?
All the pets we raised in this house
died very quickly.
And I know the reason why
because I'm your parent.
And now you're going after people--
Is that why you sent me abroad
when I was a child
and kept tabs on me?
Were you ashamed of me?
Or…
did I scare you?
When I was young,
I used to love
reading books about royalty.
I could relate to them.
In a royal family,
blood-related siblings
were adversaries
who had to fight to the death.
Their fathers were no exception.
Are you out of your mind,
you crazy bastard?
Once again,
I was the one who decided
whether someone lives or dies.
They call you the judge and the savior,
but you're nothing but an illusion.
Both judgment and salvation
are mine to give,
not you.
-Yes, Director?
-Mr. Park.
Our station received a tip-off
from Detective An Ji-hyeong
that he had a video
of Jeong Gyu-cheol being murdered.
And?
He claims that the person who murdered him
is you, Mr. Park.
It looks like that video
will be aired on tonight's broadcast.
I'm sorry, sir.
I tried to stop it.
All right.
Thank you for telling me.
MR. PARK TAE-U
Have you dealt with An Ji-hyeong?
Are you looking for me? How sweet.
-Who are you?
-Me?
An Ji-hyeong.
No way.
Gosh.
You seem to be on the slow side, Mr. Park.
Why don't we meet?
I'll text you a location.
That's not how it works.
You suggested it.
Shouldn't you come to me?
Then where should I go?
Come down to the station.
The police station.
Right.
All your wrongdoings
must make you scared to come here.
Let's see, then.
I'll go to where you are
after the evening news is over.
I couldn't help but notice
that you only wore luxury brands.
I'll specially prepare
a pair of German handcuffs for you.
-You son of a bitch--
-What a dirty mouth.
Name.
-You caught me.
-Answer me.
You go catch them.
He's doing all the work he hasn't done
for the last 12 years,
all in this week.
But what's this?
Why do I get the feeling
that something's about to go wrong?
It doesn't feel right.
Hello?
Yes, Commissioner General.
An Ji-hyeong?
THE PEOPLE'S POLICE
-It was so tough in there.
-Are you okay?
Goodness.
Well then,
I'll leave you to it, Mr. Park.
Thank you, Commissioner General.
I didn't expect you
to come all the way here.
We truly have a special bond.
It's more like a curse.
My guess is that
you aren't here to turn yourself in.
So why are you here?
I want to negotiate a deal with you.
What?
What is it that you want?
Money?
Prestige?
Connections?
Why don't you read through this
and sign it?
If you just look the other way,
you'll get many more benefits
in the years to come.
You could even end up
sitting in this office
if you swallow your pride
and cozy up to me.
I don't need things
like money or prestige.
Then what is it that you want?
You.
This is all I have.
I want you to bet everything you have too.
What do you get out of doing all this?
The satisfaction of teaching
a maniac who thinks he's a god
that he's nothing more
than a crazed lunatic.
This entire country is my playground.
You're just a stray dog
running about in it,
having forgotten your place.
I'll shit all over your playground then.
Putting down a stray dog like you
isn't a big deal for me.
If you keep this up--
The worst that happens is I die.
You must think you have nine lives.
Nice.
I see that you're not completely clueless.
Let's put an end…
to our cursed bond in this life.
It'll happen…
whether you want it to or not.
Meet me on the first floor in 30 minutes.
I'll cuff you then.
I'll have Detective Lee take care of this.
Yes, sir.
Understood.
A man was found dead
after having bled to death
on a deserted road.
The driver was found
with a stab wound on his neck.
He was found to have been drunk
at the time of his passing.
I've heated it up.
-Caring, aren't I?
-There were no security cameras.
-Right. Enjoy it.
-Furthermore, the car's dashcam
was missing its memory card.
To help solve the case,
-It's about to begin.
-police are waiting for
-That's right.
-possible witnesses to come forward.
MAN IN HIS FORTIES
FOUND DEAD ON A DESERTED ROAD
This just in.
Park Tae-u, Taekang's CEO,
will be turning himself in
for the murder of Jeong Gyu-cheol,
the serial killer.
-What the…
-More from our reporter at the scene.
-There he is.
-Here he comes.
I murdered Jeong Gyu-cheol…
a serial killer
who took the lives of 15 victims.
A few days ago…
TAEKANG CEO PARK'S URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE
…I was kidnapped.
I was taken somewhere,
not knowing what was going on.
I only found out after I got there
that the man who kidnapped me
was Jeong Gyu-cheol,
the serial killer
who took 15 people's lives.
That's when I realized
that I was given
the first and final chance
to bring that serial killer to justice.
Are you saying you killed him
to punish him for his crimes?
I was left with two options.
Kill him or be killed by him.
That was it.
And I felt
that it was my responsibility
to put a stop to his senseless killings.
Then where is Jeong Gyu-cheol's body?
That's the one thing
I'm unsure of.
I thought I had killed him
while I was struggling against him.
I was deeply confused when I saw the news
that his body hadn't been found.
I offer my sincerest apologies
for letting down
the people of this country.
And I don't know when it will be,
but if I ever get another chance,
I will follow my life motto
and give back
as much as I have received.
Are you saying
your actions were justified?
That was the report from the scene.
We will now show you exclusive footage
that allegedly shows Mr. Park
murdering Jeong Gyu-cheol.
EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE
OF PARK TAE-U KILLING JEONG GYU-CHEOL
As you can see,
that's all there is to the footage.
What?
This footage isn't enough
to be put forward as evidence
that Mr. Park murdered Jeong Gyu-cheol.
We are only left with suspicions
that he may still be alive.
The footage only proves
that Mr. Park had been kidnapped,
as he has previously stated…
We've already decided
to dismiss all your charges.
I'm sorry to have troubled you today.
Oh, not at all. Please don't say that.
You've done so much for us over the years.
We are forever in your debt.
That's right.
MEDIA MANAGEMENT MANUAL
Tell every media outlet
that we'll pull all our ads
if they write
a single negative thing about us!
Park Tae-u is innocent!
-He's innocent!
-He's innocent!
All members of our party
-believe that Mr. Park Tae-u is innocent!
-Believe that Mr. Park Tae-u is innocent!
Many civic groups and politicians
have expressed
their support for Mr. Park Tae-u.
You fabricated evidence
and leaked it to the press.
Ruin your life all you want.
But why drag me into this?
I didn't fabricate evidence.
Why do the press and the police
keep saying that all the evidence
against Park Tae-u is fabricated?
That's why people like Park Tae-u
think the entire world is a joke.
What did you say?
Please calm down, sir.
He was only trying to…
You'll both be fired!
Chief!
Reports of Jeong Gyu-cheol sightings
have continued to flow in today.
Was he truly murdered?
With Jeong Gyu-cheol's body missing,
Mr. Park Tae-u is scheduled
to be released today
due to a lack of circumstantial evidence
backing his admission of guilt.
It was a great story.
But
I decide how it ends.
There's even a greater ending
waiting for you.
I always give back as much as I receive.
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
-Park Tae-u!
Sir. Should I delay
your flight to the States?
No. Proceed as planned.
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
Mr. Park.
There weren't any copies of the video
in An Ji-hyeong's home.
And I've managed to capture him.
Keep him alive.
I'm going to deal with him myself.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
Park Tae-u.
I know you killed
more than just Jeong Gyu-cheol.
You also killed Park Jin-tae,
Song Jae-seop, Cho Tae-sang,
Jang Geon-u, Lee Ji-su, and Lee Su-yeon.
You will pay for your sins.
Who are you?
What the hell?
What's going on?
You killed your brother Park Jin-tae
and disguised it as an accident.
And then,
to distract the press and the public
from taking an interest in his death,
you offered Song Jae-seop
three billion won,
which you knew he couldn't refuse.
You had him jump from 8 000 m up
without a parachute
to his death.
This plane will explode in 30 seconds,
just like when Park Jin-tae died.
What?
Song Jae-seop jumped without a parachute,
but I'll give you a chance.
Jump off this plane with a parachute
if you wish to live.
A parachute?
Damn it.
Where's the parachute?
Shit!
What the hell?
What are you doing here?
But if I ever get another chance…
ONE WEEK AGO
…I will follow my life motto
and give back…
TAEKANG CEO PARK'S URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE
…as much as I have received.
He's acting exactly
the way I expected him to.
Thank you, Park Tae-u.
You've raised the stakes for this round.
Since the world
won't bring you to justice,
I'll use their memories
to bring you to justice myself.
The only thing we can trust
in our line of work is this.
This hard drive contains
all the dirt we collected on our clients.
All of your sins
will find their way back to you.
Through Park Jin-tae's memory,
I learned that Park Tae-u
stored narcotics in his fountain pen.
I swapped them out with sleeping pills.
And I've managed to capture him.
Keep him alive.
I'm going to deal with him myself.
Yes, sir.
Using Lee Ju-hun's memory,
I installed a bomb in the plane's engine
and made the plane take off.
After that, I used Song Jae-seop's memory
to throw a counterpunch.
This will make a bigger impact
after Park Tae-u
raised the stakes himself.
We'll now show you the videos
related to Mr. Park Tae-u.
EVIDENCE OF PARK TAE-U'S MURDERS SECURED
Isn't this your brother?
Brother, my ass.
Make his death look like an accident.
Along with the video
of Mr. Park Tae-u ordering a hit
on his brother Park Jin-tae,
a video of him confessing to murder
was also uploaded.
But no matter how many people
I ran over after that,
I couldn't experience
the sensation I had felt then.
How did you know
that I killed Park Jin-tae?
Along with the videos,
there was a release of evidence
proving that the Commissioner General
and high-ranking police officers
covered up Mr. Park Tae-u's crimes
in exchange for bribes.
What the hell?
What are you doing here?
You're not the one who gets to decide
how this story ends.
Every good story
always has a twist.
You acted as if you were a god.
How do you feel now?
You killed Ji-su.
You murdered her!
Park Tae-u,
let's go to hell together.
Whatever.
Screw Death's rules!
I don't give a fuck.
I'm going to kill this bastard.
AUTHOR LEE JI-SU
Does that story of yours
have a happy ending?
I sincerely hope
that your story ends happily.
Ji-su…
Are you still standing there?
Are you afraid to turn back?
The face I somberly remembered
The person I'm grateful for
The person I owe
Although there's no miracle we hoped for
Nor the strength to get back on our feet
Listen to the voice that embraces you
"I love you"
"I love you"
If you're still hesitating
I hope you find the courage
To stand up again
And overcome it
