If I Had to Kill Somebody

1
(Remember You)
(Episode 12)
You
There are only people who abandoned you.
And there's no one who remembers you.
Your parents,
your siblings,
or your friends
There's no one.
But I will
remember you.
What? What's this?
The place where my instinct points me to
Talking about important stuff makes me realize that you look familiar.
Have we met a long time ago?
I
want to get closer
with both Inspector Cha and you, Professor Lee.
What's the reason?
Does there have to be a reason?
Using what you said as an example,
if you walk on the road,
there are flowers that you just step on.
Then, there are the ones that attract your attention.
Perhaps
did something happen?
You don't look good.
Please have a seat.
All right.
May be
where I didn't want Min to be the most.
If you are really Min,
what should I do
to show my remorse?
(If I Had to Kill Somebody)
What I'm curious about the most is this.
Did you wish for Joo Young Jae to die?
I went too far, didn't I?
What about this?
It was a relief that Joo Young Jae died.
Right?
So?
Let's say that's true.
Do you
have evidence?
It seemed like Young Jae and the witness looked at each other.
(Citizen Registry)
All the victim for the murder case without a body
have their own story.
All of them have a similarity,
which is they abandoned someone.
All of them
abandoned someone.
This means
that Min murdered them as replacements
for me who had abandoned him.
He murders me repeatedly
in his mind.
That was interesting.
But,
there is no way to prove it.
If you can prove it,
Article 273 in Criminal Law
can be applied as an abuse case.
But there's no way to prove it.
As of now.
Anyway, they didn't directly kill him.
They might have abandoned him though.
Right?
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
(Lee Hyun)
Gosh, why did you call in the middle of the night?
When you do background checks, do you get their current address?
What?
- I think so. Why do you ask? - Send it to me right now.
Yes?
Check the current location of Young Jae's parents.
What the heck? He hangs up as he pleases.
What's the contact number for Young Jae's parents?
You
Are you
really Min?
How did you know?
I came too late.
I'm sorry.
Min.
Yes.
It's too late.
Why?
Are you looking for traces of blood?
I'm just checking whether you're injured or not.
There's something else you want to ask, right?
Yes, I have something to ask.
Young Jae's parents.
You didn't do it, right?
I'm hoping that you didn't do it.
Why are you asking me?
I hope that you didn't do it.
They are not worth it.
For them, you
don't have to destroy yourself.
What if I'm already broken?
I'm asking you.
What if I'm already broken from the day you abandoned me?
What would you do?
No.
I've never abandoned you.
No?
You did.
It's not like that.
You didn't even look for me.
That was
Let me explain.
Give me a chance to explain.
You didn't even recognize me.
I thought you're already
You hope that I'm dead, don't you?
No.
It's not like that, Min.
You didn't even recognize me.
I know.
Plus, you
gave me to Lee Joon Young.
No.
I never gave you away.
You told Lee Joon Young
about me.
Don't you remember?
You said it's our secret
and you'll never tell anyone else.
But
you broke your promise.
You betrayed me.
You handed me over to Lee Joon Young.
You can talk now.
It's your turn.
What's your secret?
It's my dad.
He treats me like a monster.
But
But?
The real monster is
my younger brother, Min.
I was right.
I just
Take the call.
It might be the news you've been waiting for.
Yes?
Young Jae's parents have returned home.
Really?
What's going on?
I've requested for backup in front of the house.
- Tell me the reason so that I - Good job.
I just don't
feel like it today.
Kill me then.
The real person you want to kill
is me.
Isn't it?
You're right.
You haven't gone to sleep yet?
Yes.
I came home late because I was looking into something.
What happened just now?
Get some rest.
- Lee Hyun. - We'll talk later.
I'll tell you later.
You must tell me.
If not, I won't let you go easily.
A bad dream again?
It's okay.
Everything will be fine.
It'll be fine.
Cha Ji An, are you asleep?
My younger brother, Min
might be a killer.
I don't know what I should do.
I should
stop him, right?
If
I run away now,
then you will
You didn't hurt
the child's parents.
Well
I let them go.
I see.
I've something to ask you.
Did my brother
really abandon me?
Why did he
give me away to you?
Because
it was a win-win situation.
I guess that was the reason.
I heard it.
Everything you said last night.
It's either you know that I might hear it,
or maybe you wanted me to hear it.
So let's be honest.
What did you hear?
You found your younger brother, didn't you?
But he's
Were you dreaming?
Do you think you can confuse me?
- Yes. - No.
I won't let it go this time.
I've been waiting for you
ever since the case at the docks.
You always keep everything to yourself.
I knew all about it but I'm willing to wait for you
because I understand you.
I don't know what's happening.
Are you afraid? Or are you too tired?
I wonder about it.
I hope that you'll tell me about it one day.
You'll find my help, so I endure and wait for you.
Continue to wait until I tell you then.
No, I can't wait anymore.
- And that's because - What is it?
Because you've reached out to me.
And I've heard it.
So I can't act like
I didn't hear it.
You need help at this moment.
So how are you going to help me?
I'm not sure yet.
But I'm sure that
this isn't something you can handle by yourself.
Am I right?
Fine.
Let me ask you.
Are you saying all these things you're saying
because of your concern as a police officer or
No, not as a police officer.
At least, at this moment,
I mean right now. I am
I'm listening as someone close to you.
But I'll definitely ask you with my police officer identity too.
We cannot avoid it.
So before that happens, I want you to tell me.
I'll listen as Cha Ji An and not a police officer.
Let me ask you again.
Did you find your lost brother?
Yes.
Did Lee Joon Young
take him away?
Yes.
Did your younger brother
become a killer?
It's possible.
After working for the whole night,
I got this from going through the video frame by frame.
Isn't this Young Jae's mom?
Why is
We can charge her on child abuse with this.
You're right.
The victim died of assault because of her negligence.
(Died of assault because of negligence.)
What's happening?
The victim died of assault because of your negligence, ma'am.
- Wait a minute. - Get in the car.
You know what you did.
Did you find
your lost brother?
Yes.
Who is he?
I can't tell you this.
I'll investigate it myself.
It's up to you.
What about Lee Joon Young?
Did he appear with your brother?
Rather than saying he appeared,
I should say that he's always here.
So
Do you mean that he has been around us?
Could you at least tell me
whether he's someone
that both you and I know?
It's possible.
That's all I can say.
I don't have definite proof yet.
Who is he?
There's something you need to listen to.
Do you still remember?
That I'm curious to know what kind of adult you'll become.
By the time you hear this,
I'll be there to keep my promise to you.
This maniac.
Is that all?
This jerk.
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Of course, I'm not okay.
So this is where you were trapped
when you were a child.
If Dad thinks that Min
is the abnormal one instead of me,
he will
lock Min in here.
But I told this secret
to Lee Joon Young.
Because if
I didn't tell him
and hold on to Min's hand tightly instead,
he definitely
won't become like this.
Min
will definitely listen to me.
I'm sure that he will
grow up while keeping our promise.
Thank you.
Cha Ji An.
It's very rude for you to walk in without saying anything.
I'll continue to do so.
I might even follow you around.
Do you think by doing that it will change anything?
I hope so.
I only need you to promise me something.
If you really need to murder someone,
make sure it's me.
Not anyone else,
but me.
It's the only thing that you need to promise me.
All right.
I promise you.
Is Lee Hyun here? I have a parcel for him.
Gosh, this Dave. Why does he always send stuff to the office?
He's not around.
Pass it to me. I'll give him later.
I need to give him personally.
Well, he's not in his seat. Plus, this is a police station.
It won't be a problem if you give it to me.
You can just give it to me.
Hey.
What's this?
What's going on?
Find the deliveryman!
See whether he's involved or he's just delivering the parcel.
Pardon?
- The deliveryman! - Yes.
Where did he go?
"The Lord is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy,
forgiving iniquity and transgression,
and by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation."
What does this mean?
Isn't it about revenge?
The dad's sins.
Lee Hyun's dad is a policeman and a professor.
Check whether any of the convicts captured by his dad
was released recently.
All right.
Attorney Jung, you actually
want to make peace with Hyun, right?
Why are you asking this?
I'm actually very worried about your reunion with him.
In other words,
you were against it.
But
since it already happened,
it's great if you two can make peace.
This is Lee Joon Ho.
Yes.
All right, I understand.
Is there a case?
Did you confirm his identity?
He's a known homeless person.
We don't know his exact identity.
If that's the case,
could it be a random killing?
It's possible that
he's a sacrificial lamb for another purpose.
The problem lies with the motive.
Why did he send this to Lee Hyun
after committing a violent murder?
Plus, he revealed his face and identity.
Was it sent to Lee Hyun?
Yes.
Probably to threaten him.
I see.
But where's Lee Hyun?
There's no one suspicious around us.
I can't suspect others based on my speculations.
Of course, you can't.
But I'm going to suspect everyone.
So you better tell me.
Just tell me who your younger brother is,
so we can share the burden.
Didn't I say it already?
As long as you tell me,
my personal relationship with you
I mean
I'll listen to you
as someone close to you.
But if I discover it by myself,
I can only approach this case as the police officer, Cha Ji An.
Hey, Lee Hyun!
If
you kill someone who deserves it
Nobody in this world has the power
to determine who deserves to live
nor the power to kill another person.
Right.
What is it?
Did you forget that today is my day off?
Hey, do you know where Lee Hyun is?
He's right
Right there?
Do you think it's possible? Of course, he's not here.
I don't know.
But what happened?
Yes.
Okay.
I see.
What's wrong?
Somebody sent you a threatening letter
and a photo of a murder scene.
Really?
"Really?"
Doesn't it concern you?
I guess so.
Please get yourself together.
You've been acting strange lately.
You're like a 150-year-old grandpa.
Get up.
Let's go.
"The Lord is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy"
When Lee Hyun's dad, Lee Joong Min arrested him,
he was the boss of the nationwide mafia
and a professional assassin.
At that time, he was a suspect to multiple murder cases.
He was just 20 years old back then, so he was pretty good.
What happened during the arrest? Isn't there any record?
There's a brief record.
Did you check the news back then?
Maybe there are some records left.
I've been searching, but I didn't find anything.
This guy is so childish.
Just because my dad arrested him once,
he still wants revenge after 20 years.
Plus, he wants to kill that person's son.
I can't really understand.
Hey, how can you talk like it doesn't concern you?
This is about you. He's threatening you.
There goes another person who wants to kill me.
Do you have multiple people wanting to kill you?
If he continues this way, I think it's possible.
I can totally relate.
He lacks motive.
There's definitely another motive.
Try to find it.
Other than the mainstream media,
maybe the local news will have more detailed records.
Search even the newspaper agencies which went out of business.
Hey, you! Aren't you searching too?
- I'm busy. - Busy? You
No, this is about his life.
How can he leave it to us?
That's why he received a threatening letter.
Where are you going?
You can't act alone from now on.
- It's still daytime. - That's right.
I'll let you go out since it's daytime.
But please be careful.
Don't worry too much.
I'll protect you.
I'll catch the culprit.
Are you making fun of me?
I'm not laughing.
Be careful no matter what you do.
I came here to see you.
Thank goodness you're not living as Lee Joong Min's son, Lee Min.
But you live as Jung Seon Ho.
That's how I feel right now.
What are you saying?
Nothing, I'm just saying.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
Do you want to have a drink?
- I'm busy. - Are there any good movies?
- No. - Should I check?
- No. - Aren't you giving me a tour?
(I think my son is a monster.)
It's here.
"If I was more careful,
would the woman survive?
I'm troubled by this fact."
(Escaped Murder Suspect's Girlfriend Died During Arrest.)
What's that?
We're facing a professional assassin.
He killed many before.
It would've been better if I brought back a gun,
but I had to return it.
Let's take comfort
in this air gun and handle the rest with our bodies.
But everyone is working hard.
They are still at the office looking for another motive
that you mentioned just now.
I don't want to leave you alone, so I came back earlier.
Do you feel better?
I'm not laughing.
I'm now at the office.
What else could it be?
I'm working hard for a case.
Why are you calling me at 10pm?
Dad, I'm not going home.
All right. It's not dangerous.
I know.
After I was stabbed,
my family became extremely worried about me.
Is Lee Hyun living alone?
I think so.
It's more dangerous at night.
Someone should go and protect Lee Hyun.
It feels great.
Lee Hyun.
Someone is here.
Who will come at this hour?
Should I hide? What should I do?
Who is it?
Hey, Dave. It's me.
I'm here too, Lee Hyun.
What do you need at this late hour?
We're here to protect you.
Hurry and open the door. There are mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes are biting us.
How should I explain?
I'll say that you stopped by.
Do you think they'll believe us?
I don't look presentable.
This
We look like a newly married couple.
A newly married couple?
No, what I mean is
Whatever.
Hey, why aren't you opening the door?
Are you hiding someone in there?
Never mind, I'll just hide.
I told you that I don't need protection.
Is there anyone else here?
That's right.
It's so lonely to eat alone.
So I like to eat in this seat and that seat.
Is that okay?
Gosh.
Thank goodness.
It's me, Inspector Cha.
Gosh, you scared me.
You scared me.
I wasn't sure if it's you, so I approached you.
In the end, I was almost hit by you.
What about Lee Joon Young?
Did he appear with your brother?
Rather than saying he appeared,
I should say that he's always here.
So
Do you mean that he has been around us?
But
Why are you here, Dr. Lee?
I live nearby.
Do you live in this area?
Yes.
I see.
Why are you here, Inspector Cha?
Why's your hair wrapped in a towel?
Did you get it permed?
Well, sometimes I like to walk around like this.
Is my hair dry yet?
I didn't know that you live next door.
I didn't know that you live next to me.
Well
I just stopped by
to ensure his protection.
I see.
Meeting you is so miraculous.
Come to think of it
Tell me more about that shameless jerk next time.
It sounds interesting.
Right, the guy that will raise my blood pressure
That intelligent guy
Just ask him for help.
He was interested right from the start.
What?
I was just curious.
The coincidental meeting leads to visiting your place.
We've known each other quite long.
But it's my first time coming to your place.
Should I have invited you earlier?
Your house is so beautiful.
Really?
Yes.
Can I look around?
Gosh, this is so nice.
It is so pretty.
Is this the master bedroom?
You can't go in there.
It quite embarrassing for a lady to know about a man's space.
It won't be full of pornographic material, right?
Did I tell you about my dad?
Did you?
I think you did but I'm not sure.
My dad had been missing for 20 years.
Is that so?
Sometimes, I have to ask the family to verify the victim's identity.
It happens.
Every time this happens, I'll think whether
it's better to let them believe that he's alive or is it better
to say that he's dead
and destroy all their hope.
Which one do you think is better?
What do you think?
Goethe once said,
"Hope is the seed of happiness."
Lee Yon once said,
"Hope is a dream after waking up."
But
Nietzsche said,
"Hope is the worst kind of evil.
Because it brings pain and suffering to human beings."
Some people say that I'm violent and heartless.
I don't like beating around the bush.
He's either dead or not dead.
It's better that way.
Until just now,
I thought that it's better to have hope.
Now I feel that it's cruel.
Oh, I went home.
What happened?
Dr. Lee sent me home.
I met him coincidentally.
Lee Joon Ho?
Dr. Lee Joon Ho, he
Never mind.
Let's talk later.
Gosh, I haven't come home for quite some time.
It's not that bad.
Lock your door.
Don't worry. It's you who should be careful.
I'm hanging up.
All right.
Goodness, I'm really a stalker.
I even took photos.
Why is Attorney Jung Seon Ho in this photo?
When was this?
Was it a coincidence?
This is my second time.
What is?
Having a special interest
in a specific person.
Then, who was the first person? Was it your first love?
You could say that.
Actually,
I see that person from time to time.
But that person
doesn't even recognize me.
Did you find your lost brother?
Yes.
Could it really be Jung Seon Ho?
It's about my dad.
When Lee Joong Min arrested Jo Yong Woo,
his girlfriend died while trying to escape with him.
I assumed his girlfriend was killed in that way.
After that,
his brother tried to take revenge on Lee Joong Min,
but he died in the end.
I see.
So,
he sent a message to Lee Hyun.
He wants to kill him.
I see.
Thank goodness you're not living as Lee Joong Min's son, Lee Min.
But you live as Jung Seon Ho.
That's how I feel right now.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
But it feels odd.
If it was me, I won't kill him personally.
You're right.
If he wants to threaten Hyun,
he doesn't have to go through all the trouble.
An eye for an eye. He wants him to suffer as well.
From the culprit's perspective,
the homeless guy who got killed,
is just a message to something else. The method of the killing
is the content of the message.
If that's the case, he doesn't want to kill him.
He wants to kill the people who are precious to him.
Yes.
Watching his beloved
being brutally murdered
makes the person concerned suffers from excruciating pain.
Just like what he suffered when his lover died.
I see.
Cha Ji An
is the highest possibility.
It might be you though.
Nobody knows that I'm Lee Joong Min's son,
the brother of Lee Hyun.
You're right.
But criminals seem to know more than we think.
But
of course, Cha Ji An has the highest possibility right now.
I see.
I found the local news in the library.
I'm sending it.
(Escaped Murder Suspect's Girlfriend Died During Arrest.)
(Escaped Murder Suspect's Girlfriend Died During Arrest.)
His loved one is murdered in a similar way.
It's the feeling of losing your loved ones.
That's odd.
If it was me,
I won't kill my target
But the people who are precious to him.
Watching his beloved
being brutally murdered
makes the person concerned suffers from excruciating pain.
Yes?
Where are you?
What?
I'm asking about your location!
Well
