Flower of Evil (2020) s01e13 Episode Script

1
LATE SUMMER OF 1997
BAEK HEE SEONG
I don't remember.
After receiving my report card,
all I thought about was dying.
I don't remember
what happened afterward.
It was
It was my fault the
dog died, right?
I'm terribly sorry.
Hee Seong,
can you wait out in the hall?
I'd like a chat
with your mother.
It's
all my fault.
He's not usually like this.
He just acts out every time
he receives his report card.
Hyun Su.
Do Hyun Su.
Why don't we draw together?
Here.
It's you, isn't it?
The kid who threw a
brick from the rooftop.
Do you know why you
did such a thing?
Yes.
It was due to the depression
by academic stress.
You were curious, right?
Just like throwing a
pebble into a calm pond,
you threw a pebble
into your simple life.
You wanted to see
the ripple effect
of your actions.
Am I wrong?
Why would I do that?
Because you don't
know how to have fun.
You've never met
anyone like you.
You must've been
very lonely.
Do Hyun Su?
Do Hyun Su is here.
What brings you here
without calling?
I have something to tell
you and Director Baek.
I'm too tired today.
You should just go home.
I know everything.
What are you talking
about? What do you mean?
I know what happened
in this house.
What?
Do you really want
us to go back?
EPISODE 13
Why are you standing there?
Come and sit down.
You canceled our appointment
because of your business trip.
What brings you here
without calling beforehand?
You even brought your wife.
We were supposed to
meet tonight anyway,
so I figured you'd be home.
How much
do you know?
How much are you hiding?
Does that mean
you know everything
about your husband?
What's your intention
behind coming here
even after finding out
everything about him?
Have you decided to
accept everything?
First of all,
I want to let you know
that I'm going to stay by his
side no matter what happens.
Okay.
It looks like the four of us
will have a lot to
talk about tonight.
It's not just us four.
What?
There's one more
person living here.
Where is he?
2019 ILSHIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
MEDICAL VOLUNTEER WORK IN KENYA
We weren't
exactly on good terms.
That day,
we had an argument due
to the car accident.
And something
unexpected happened.
Whether he's conscious or not
doesn't really matter anymore.
Every time his
condition worsened,
we merely injected
drugs to keep him alive.
That caused his kidneys to fail.
And because of that,
he's currently suffering from a
multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
It means it won't
be surprising
even if his heart
stopped in 10 minutes.
We just shared
all our secrets with you.
I promise you here and now
that I will let your husband
live as Baek Hee Seong
for the rest of his life.
So
you don't need to worry anymore.
No.
You're mistaken.
I'm mistaken?
Ji Won just wanted
to see his body
with her own two eyes.
We're not here
to hear you make a promise.
It's time.
Time for what?
It's time to find out
who the accomplice was.
Wait over there.
Now, tell us what
you have to say.
We all sat down like
you asked us to.
By any chance,
are you assuming that I know
who the accomplice is?
It's 10pm.
If I went on my business trip,
I would've arrived at your
summer house in Gapyeong by now.
And?
The only person who knows that
other than Ji Won and myself
is you.
What are you trying to say?
I'm sure you know.
Your opportunity has come.
Make sure you don't
make any mistakes.
Tonight at 10pm.
- 351, Gyeongjinsan-gil, Gapyeong.
- If Yeom Sang Cheol shows up there,
that would mean you gave him
the information.
Just for your information,
the cops are currently waiting
in front of your summer house.
Yeom Sang Cheol!
Drop your weapon and
put your hands up.
The day Yeom Sang Cheol
and I made our deal,
he received an offer
from someone
who promised double of what
I paid if he would kill me.
The only person
who knew I was making
a deal with him
and knew exactly how much
I paid Yeom Sang Cheol
was the person who gave me
that money. Namely, you.
You wanted me to kill
Park Kyung Choon,
and wanted me to
leave voluntarily.
You were afraid
that your true identity
would be revealed, not mine.
Because
you are
the Yeonju City serial
killer's accomplice.
What are you talking about?
Sit down.
If you attempt even a
little bit of violence,
I will perform my duties
as a police officer.
You.
Are you here with the
same mindset of his?
As soon as we confirm that you are
associated with Yeom Sang Cheol,
I'll ask you to come to the
station with me voluntarily.
What?
DETECTIVE CHOI JAE SEOP
Hello, Detective Choi.
We made a mistake.
I'm the caretaker.
Director Baek said his son was
coming to work here tonight,
and asked me to make
sure he was comfortable.
I brought those shears
to trim some branches
while I was here.
Yes.
I understand.
I can't believe
what just happened.
How could you suspect me
to be a serial killer?
What did Detective Choi say?
He sent the caretaker
to take care of me.
I guess
I've underestimated you.
It wasn't me.
Hyun Su.
It wasn't me.
You're the only person
it can be.
How must I prove to
you that it wasn't me?
Ji Won.
How could you do this?
You're a police officer.
How could you threaten someone by
using your position as a cop
without any evidence whatsoever?
You have concluded
that I am the culprit,
and are trying to fit
the evidence somehow.
No.
All of this
tells me it was you.
I'm positive.
It was me.
I'm the person
you're searching for.
From now on,
you will be the game piece
on the board that I set up,
Do Hyun Su.
I'm the one who
leaked our secret.
What do you mean,
the secret was leaked?
I guess the rain
blew the fuse of
the circuit breaker.
I'll go check on it.
Your opportunity has come.
Tonight at 10pm.
At my summer house.
It's me. Baek Hee Seong.
There's no time for greetings.
Just answer my
questions truthfully.
Did you or did you not
leak our information
to Do Hyun Su?
Am I insane? Why would I
Did you?
I didn't tell him directly,
but I told him that someone
paid me to kill him.
Look.
You need to do
absolutely nothing now.
Stay out of it.
What did you just say, kid?
I don't need you anymore, punk.
What are you doing?
Do Hyun Su set a trap.
He wants to catch two
birds with one stone.
What trap?
Think about it.
Who created this
perfect opportunity
to kill him?
Think of who's being the
game pieces set by whom.
It's obvious.
The moment Yeom Sang Cheol
shows up at the summer house,
they'll know you're involved.
That's what he
wanted to confirm.
Then
we can just keep Yeom Sang
Cheol from going there.
Then everything will be fine.
That won't stop him
from suspecting me.
Not Hyun Su.
Hold on.
That means he doesn't
have any proof yet.
We should prepare
to receive guests.
What do you mean?
Since he has no proof,
he'll corner Dad
and try to get a
confession out of him.
If this is how he wants to play,
we should prepare a
gift for him as well.
I QUIT. THANK YOU FOR BEING
SO KIND TO ME ALL THESE YEARS.
You said the nurse
was deaf and mute.
The culprit spoke with Yeom
Sang Cheol on the phone.
It is unreasonable to say she was
associated with Do Min Seok
or Yeom Sang Cheol.
What I'm trying to say is,
the secret already got out.
Someone else could've
made a mistake as I did.
Like that reporter.
He knows your secret too.
- So does your sister.
- Mother.
You are
protecting Director
Baek right now.
- Right?
- No.
I swear that's not the case.
No,
you definitely know
something right now.
What is it?
Don't you trust me?
Why should I trust you?
Of course.
I guess there's no
reason for you to.
I'll turn the main switch off.
When the lights go out,
Dad will stall by saying
he'll check the
circuit breaker box.
In the meantime, Mom
will light the candles.
It's taking him a while.
I should light some candles.
Something's not right.
What do you mean?
I can tell that
something is off,
but I can't put my finger on it.
My gosh!
Are you all right?
I'm good.
Hyun Su.
All this time, I thought
of you as family.
I truly mean it.
Regardless of what
you thought of me,
I never once
wondered about
your true feelings.
Shouldn't you go to your son?
What? Why?
He's hooked on
electrical devices.
Wouldn't the blackout
be a threat to him?
Well, you see
His devices have
backup batteries.
They're good for
at least six hours.
Anyway, let's sit back down.
We have a conversation to end.
I'm sorry
for still liking you ever
since I first saw you
in fourth grade.
I can't believe he kept
this all this time.
You fool.
I think it's best for you to
stay behind the sidelines now.
I hate how you keep
gaining enemies.
Whether Director Baek is
the accomplice or not,
he'll harbor a grudge
toward you after today.
Let the police
take it from here.
I need to meet that caregiver.
Didn't you hear
what I just said?
Mother's right.
I must find out how much
the caregiver knows
and who else knows our secret.
It's not a good idea for
you to be involved anymore.
I can't take another second
of this going on any further.
The accomplice is a serial
killer who enjoys killing.
Someone like that
is in my life.
To think
that he could
reach you and Eun Ha
scares me
to the core.
Do you know the arrest rate
of our station this year?
It's at 120 percent.
We even caught the criminals
we failed to arrest last year.
Any murderer out there is
eventually arrested by us.
Once we catch Yeom Sang Cheol,
everything else will come easy.
Because he will be both
our witness and evidence.
Serial killers are
humans just like us.
Don't be so afraid.
Once we catch him,
you'll be ashamed that you
were scared of such a loser.
We're tougher than him, okay?
It's weird.
When you say things
it all sounds so convincing.
MOTHER
It's Eun Ha.
When are you coming?
We're almost there.
Should I count to 10?
Just wait 10 more minutes.
Then you're not almost here.
It means you're still far away.
No, we'll be right there.
Hurry. Come faster.
CHOROK VILLAGE
PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
"Stay out of it"?
He must've thought
very little of me.
CHOROK VILLAGE
PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Can she get discharged today?
She has no family, so that
won't be a problem, right?
Are you kidding me?
What about all the
money I paid you?
That was for keeping
an eye on her.
You punk.
It's a luxury watch.
Who is that woman anyway?
She's my insurance.
Long time no see,
Ms. Jung Mi Sook.
Where is Mi Sook?
Park Kyung Choon, her husband,
reported her missing back then,
so we know where she was
up until she disappeared
in May 11, 2002.
They couldn't find the body of
the last victim, Jung Mi Sook.
NAME: JUNG MI SOOK, AGE: 27, DATE
OF DISAPPEARANCE: MAY 12, 2002
Why are you calling me
Jung Mi Sook?
Hello?
Is this Baek Hee Seong's number?
Yes, who is this?
Your wife's name is Cha Ji Won.
She works in the Violent Crimes
Unit at Gangsu Police Station.
Is that correct?
Your daughter's
name is Baek Eun Ha.
She goes to Small
Bird Kindergarten.
Am I right?
Who are you?
I'm a fan.
I really love
your artworks.
How How do you
How do you know about my family?
I'm a fan, so it's
natural that I know.
You're very sensitive.
PAYPHONE LOCATED AT MAKMUN
THREE-WAY INTERSECTION
PAYPHONE LOCATED AT MAKMUN
THREE-WAY INTERSECTION
Hello, I'm sorry for calling
you at such a late hour.
I just wanted to ask if I could
take a look at your dashcam footage.
I'm on vacation right now.
I'll call you back once
I go back to Seoul.
HIDE-AND-SEEK!
Hide-and-seek!
I can see you.
But you can't see me.
It's a
Is this Baek Hee Seong's number?
Anyway, lady,
did you hear of the Gakyeongri
Village Foreman Murder?
Your wife's name is Cha Ji Won.
She works in the Violent Crimes
Unit at Gangsu Police Station.
Is that correct?
Do you know why he died?
Because he got nosy.
Honey.
Yes?
What are you doing?
It's all over the table.
Sorry.
What were you thinking about?
No, don't come. It'll
get on your clothes.
Daddy.
I want to wear this one today.
Just a second, Eun Ha.
Let me see.
- You picked this one?
- Yes.
Where do you want it?
Here.
You look pretty.
Dad, where did
you go last night?
- What?
- I woke up
to go to the bathroom.
And I saw you going outside.
Did you go somewhere last night?
Where?
Well, the thing is
You're getting a call.
You should pick up.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
What?
I need to go.
Okay, go ahead.
Mom, good luck at work.
That's not our jurisdiction.
Okay, I'll meet
you at the scene.
Eun Ha, look at Daddy.
Did you talk to a
stranger recently?
No.
You didn't think first.
No.
Never go anywhere with a
stranger. What are the rules?
"I will not go anywhere
with a stranger."
"An adult will not
ask a child for help."
"Mom, Dad, and
Grandma will never"
"ask someone else to get me."
Good.
Daddy! My tummy grumbled again!
- Did you hear that?
- What?
Let me see.
- Want egg soup?
- Okay!
I was passing by,
picking up litter
and saw a scarf.
I yanked at it, but
I couldn't free it.
So I
And there was a person there?
- Yes, and
- Okay, thank you.
- Hey.
- Jae Seop.
I'm really sorry
about last night.
Let's talk about
it later. Let's go.
- Did you hear about the dead body?
- I did.
I'm Woo Han Soo, the production
director of "All Perspectives".
I watch your show all the time.
- Okay, let's sit down and talk.
- Sure.
I'll be blunt.
I want you to sit on our panel.
Me? Why?
It's because of that
live stream you did.
You were really cool.
Really?
First, the accomplice's
voice recording.
And this time, the undercover
to catch a trafficking ring.
How are you always one
step ahead of the police?
I work hard, so I got to
meet many good informants.
The fortune-tellers say I'm
blessed with good people.
They found a body in the
woods by Makmun-dong.
I think Mr. Lee will have to go.
Me?
Why does Moo Jin have to go?
The victim's left
thumbnail was removed.
She's missing her
left thumbnail.
How should we interpret this?
This happened right after
Yeom Sang Cheol fled.
They're trying to provoke us.
The only thing for sure is, it's
confusing our investigation.
- Have we identified the victim?
- Not yet.
Seeing as there's no bag,
wallet, or cell phone nearby,
she was probably murdered elsewhere
and brought here afterward.
What is that?
What do you mean,
it may not be
Director Baek Man Woo?
While you were with
him last night,
someone was secretly
watching me.
Did you call the police?
Yes, but they can't do anything
since nothing happened yet.
Actually,
I received a strange
call late last night.
A strange call?
Yes.
All I know is that it wasn't
Director Baek Man Woo.
However,
when I think about that voice,
I'm reminded of the accomplice
whose voice Moo Jin made public.
Do you guys know or not?
Know what?
The dead body that was found
in the woods this morning.
She's missing her
left thumbnail.
I NEVER TOLD ANYONE.
THERE'S NO ONE TO TELL.
YOU CAN'T TREAT ME THIS
WAY. DON'T TOUCH ME.
IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, I'LL
TELL MADAM AND DIRECTOR BAEK.
There's nothing else in
her notepad after this.
It looks like the
victim's conversation
with the killer immediately
before her death.
Are you sure it's hers?
Only her prints were on it.
If it's a conversation between
a mute victim and the killer,
it means she knew the killer.
NOTEPAD FOUND
What could that "Madam
and Director Baek" mean?
Hello, sir.
Yes, just a minute.
They identified her.
2 Makmun-dong, Makmun-gu, Seoul.
Rose Villa unit 303.
Park Soon Young.
What? Okay. Got it.
They found a fingerprint on the
tape that she was tied with.
On the tape used in the crime?
- Then this is a slam dunk.
- Exactly.
And? What did they find
when they ran the prints?
They're running it now.
The lieutenant will validate it
as soon as the results are out.
Detective Cha, Detective
Im. Get over there and wait.
Get moving as soon as
we get the results.
Detective Choi,
- go to Park Soon Young's home.
- Yes, sir.
IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, I'LL
TELL MADAM AND DIRECTOR BAEK.
BODY FOUND IN THE
WOODS IN MAKMUN-DONG
ON THE MORNING OF THE
13TH, A BODY WAS FOUND
Director Baek.
Here's the list of volunteers
from 1999 to 2002.
Okay. Thanks.
The fingerprint
isn't in the system?
No. It wasn't even
a partial print.
It's a clear print showing
all the distinct patterns,
but the system can't find it.
That means it isn't
in the database.
In other words, the killer
does not have a government ID.
That's right. Either it's
someone under the age of 17
or someone who is floating around
without a permanent residence
who never received
a government ID.
Maybe that's why the killer wasn't
careful about leaving a print.
No wonder. I thought it was odd
that things were going so well.
Hi, Jae Seop.
Do you really not know
anything about Park Soon Young?
Why?
Park Soon Young
was a housekeeper.
Aren't you going
to ask for whom?
Was it For
Yes. Ilshin University Hospital's
director Baek Man Woo's house.
Your in-laws.
Dad, where did
you go last night?
I need to meet that caregiver.
I'll call you back.
Ho Joon, I need the car keys.
What? Why?
I need to check
something urgently.
The prank call you got in
the middle of the night
was from the accomplice?
Are you sure?
I think so.
Why did he call you?
He gave me Jung Mi Sook's
fish keychain before too.
I think he's obsessed with me.
But why do you think
he suddenly appeared
after 18 years?
Serial killers can't stop
killing on their own.
He may have been in a situation in
which he couldn't murder people.
For example, if
he was locked up.
Like the Hwaseong Killer.
Find out
who went to prison in 2002
and was recently released.
Okay.
And Hae Su.
Stay with Moo Jin
for the time being
until we know you're safe.
You saw the killer's face.
You may be the next target.
Moo Jin. Promise me
you'll never leave her alone.
Right, I promise.
I'm going to meet
with Yeom Sang Cheol.
What?
I'll use him to get
close to the accomplice.
Come on.
Come on in and have a seat.
Is this really where
I can meet my family?
Don't you remember anything?
Anything at all?
All I remember
is how I kept walking without
a destination in mind.
I didn't even know why though.
I just walked and walked.
After that,
I bounced from place to place
until I ended up at the
psychiatric hospital.
You sure had it rough.
Thank you
for finding my family for me.
There's no need for that
since I'll get paid for this.
You see,
you're of grave importance
to all of us.
FINGERPRINT CARD
FINGERPRINT CARD
MOM
Mom, it's me.
Hee Seong won't be able
to pick Eun Ha up from
kindergarten today.
Can you do it instead?
The body was found.
The police will soon call.
Just like you have so far,
keep up the good work.
Mom, you're not at all fragile.
You
gave birth to me,
killed me,
and brought me back to life.
To me, you're like the Almighty.
You can't. What do you mean
you'll meet Yeom Sang Cheol?
He's after your head.
Exactly.
That's exactly why he
won't ignore my call.
Killing me is how
he will get paid.
Isn't this too dangerous though?
Once he's out in the open,
I can receive help
from the police.
Is this Yeom Sang Cheol?
I'm
Jung Mi Sook.
Are you perhaps my family?
Who did you say you are?
Ms. Jung Mi Sook?
Yes.
Mr. Yeom just stepped out
to go to the restroom.
Where
Where are you right now?
I can see a lot of trees.
Hello?
The phone is turned off. You
will be directed to voicemail.
You're here.
Where did you go
during the night?
What?
Was it Makmun-dong?
How
do you know that?
We found a dead body buried
in a hill in Makmun-dong.
The victim is Park Soon Young.
She was deaf, and she
worked as a housekeeper.
Her job was to take care of
someone who was in a coma.
And the person she
was working for
was Director Baek Man Woo.
We found the victim's fingerprints
from the tape that was used
to tie her up.
And those fingerprints
turned out to be yours.
What time did Ms. Park
leave the house yesterday?
Around 7:30pm.
She told me she
wasn't feeling well,
so I even called her a cab.
The CCTV in the alley
needs to record Park Soon
Young leaving our house.
You just need to take a cab
in front of our house
and get off in
front of her house.
It's easy, right?
I NEVER TOLD ANYONE.
THERE'S NO ONE TO TELL.
This is the last conversation
she had before she died.
We're guessing she
talked to the culprit.
I NEVER TOLD ANYONE.
THERE'S NO ONE TO TELL.
IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, I'LL
TELL MADAM AND DIRECTOR BAEK.
The people she refers to as
"Madam and Director Baek"
You're the "Madam", right?
Yes.
It looks like you
know the culprit.
Is there anyone
that comes to mind?
Ms. Gong.
Yes.
There's someone.
Just one person.
Ho Joon, are you with Ji Won?
She turned pale and left
right after you called
saying she needs
to check something.
Call me right away as soon
as you get a hold of her.
Did something happen to her?
You know what's going on, right?
Jae Seop, what are you
and Ji Won hiding from us?
There's a limit to how much
I can let things slide.
Jae Seop.
Tell me what's going on.
Sir, you won't believe
what I'm about to
tell you right now.
Do you
seriously expect
me to believe that?
How
How do you expect me to believe
that her husband is Do Hyun Su?
- It wasn't me.
- Let's go to the police station.
- I didn't do it.
- You can make your statement
at the police station.
I will
We will make sure you don't get
punished for what you didn't do.
Right now,
you're a murder suspect.
So I need to arrest
you without a warrant.
I need to put handcuffs on you.
Please cooperate with me.
Please.
I really did
love your mother.
And I thought your
mother loved me, too.
But she was in love
with an illusion.
She couldn't accept me
for who I really was.
In the end, she abandoned
you two and ran away from me.
Love
can be very cunning.
It's very sly.
It makes you think it
can solve everything.
But in the end, it betrays you.
Hyun Su, listen to me carefully.
When you feel the urge to
trust somebody one day,
it means you're becoming weak.
That's all there is to it.
Honey.
Tell me something.
Do you trust me?
- What?
- Or deep down inside,
do you believe
that I really
could've killed her?
If you don't even believe me,
how will anybody else
believe what I say?
- Hey, Jae Seop.
- Where are you?
Our workshop.
I'm with my husband right now.
I'll take him to the police
What
are you doing right now?
From this moment on,
I won't trust anybody.
The CCTV.
Check the CCTV.
Over there.
Hold on.
Walk toward the monitor.
Pull out all the cables
connected to the video recorder.
There are a total of four.
FLOWER OF EVIL
The most important thing is that
our colleague is being held hostage.
Even if Do Hyun Su
claims his innocence,
it's true that he's
wanted for murder.
Do Hyun Su is guilty already.
Do you think it'll
go as we wish?
We'll meet again. Don't look like
you're sending me off to die.
Wish me luck instead.
I didn't want to do this either.
But you make me feel anxious.
You're an
unpredictable variable.
