The Devil
Excuse me.
Yeong Chul.
It's been a long time.
You remember me, right?
I came because I have something to tell you. Give me some of your time.
It's only a moment.
No...
No.
Yeong Chul.
Don't lay a...hand on my body.
Yeong Chul. I...
Yeong Chul!
Wait up, Yeong Chul!
Yeong Chul!
THE DEVIL
Nothing is going awry.
Everything that we had planned is just falling into place.
That incident that occurred was correlated with a murder 15 years ago.
You're sure about that, Detective?
The murderer's goal is to play around with you.
He just wants you to become a worthless, pitiful man.
Student Jeong Tae died.
The chance of his brother, actor Jo Jeong is high.
For right now, capture the two suspects.
For right now, Lawyer Oh Seung Ha, keep on looking into the case.
I want to solve it.
Episode 9
Yeong Chul!
Did you even eat?
Do you want soju?
I have an appointment.
Dae Sik died.
You know that right?
What?
You know how he died, right?
Dae Sik...died?
When?
That's sad.
Because Dae Sik died.
It must be sad.
A friend dying should be such a sad thing.
Now, stop it.
It should be time to stop it!
You don't have any fault!
It was all my fault!
The one you want is me.
It's Kang Oh Soo.
Stop involving other people.
I'm begging you.
What are you talking about?
Don't make me destroy you.
If you go too far, it's going to be harder to come back.
It takes too long, stop here Yeong Chul. I beg you.
That's really weird.
Why are you telling me this?
Hey...I'm late for my appointment. I'm going.
Why isn't this punk picking up his phone?
I heard you found Jeong Tae Hoon's little brother.
Removal from family register: Yang Soon Ae
Removal from family register: Tae Hoon
DEATH
Where are you right now?
Why are you following Hae In?
I already know that you were in front of her house last night.
Isn't it weird?
It's so unremarkable that a librarian would meet Detective Leader Kang Ryuk and even meet you.
I don't understand how that is weird.
You already know...why are you doing this?
What are you talking about?
A crime that the police is investigating, Seo Hae In is involved with it.
Really?
Lawyer, at Yoon Dae Sik's crime site there was a tarot card, right?
So?
For the two crimes, the criminals were arrested, but there still is a leading man behind both of them.
That's just Sung Ki's theory.
Of course, for right now that is.
Since we came out here, let's talk man to man.
What is that key that Seo Hae In has?
I'm a man to man kind of talker, but I seldom trust others.
Because talking about people's secrets and truths is far from the law.
And I don't know anything about the key you are talking about.
Well, if you say it like that, I can't do anything about it.
I'll just have to find out myself.
I'm a bit disappointed.
I thought I could talk well with you.
Then...
I'll see you later.
I have to tell you something before you leave.
What is it?
If something like this happens again, you will be dealing with me.
What do you mean?
This is a warning that the law will be involved in this.
Finding out the truth is the reporter's job.
The crossing between life and death is a crime.
And finding out the truth from others isn't correct, it's inside of you already.
Stop with your word games.
I...don't warn twice.
Then I'll see you again.
Does Sora really need to make a statement?
It's for Kim Jeong Yun.
Also, an aide will be there with Sora, so you don't have to worry.
I understand.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Does Sora have to go to the police station?
For Sora's mother, she has to do it.
Mister said that he would come and see Sora tomorrow.
Unni, do you like Mister, too?
Mister says that he likes you the best!
Mister said that the person he likes best lives here.
Oh! That's not me, it's my mom.
Lawyer really likes you.
Really?
Yes.
Unni, do you like Mister, too?
Mister says that he likes you the best!
Do you have something to say?
Just that the picture inside of the card looks like you.
Do you have no interest?
With the kids?
No, with me?
What brings you here?
To go home with you.
You don't have to worry about me.
I didn't say I was worried.
I just said to go home together.
I can't find any current pictures of Kim Yeong Chul.
How about his resident registration photo?
It's too old that it would be hard for Sora to recognize.
Matching a person with a photo is hard, I know.
I think it's just better to get Kim Yeong Chul to come here.
There's no evidence to bring him there.
If I tell him, he's not going to go either.
Anyway, I'll do what I can.
Hello.
I meet you here again.
Yes.
Sit down.
Talking about that, the world is so small.
Really.
I didn't think that you would become a detective.
This man can't be anything else but a detective.
He's the type for a detective.
Really?
Of course.
That's that.
This man here found Jeong Tae Hoon's missing brother.
The brother's name is Jeong Tae Sung and they were born a year after each other.
Where is he now?
He died.
I checked the records and I was surprised.
I never thought that could happen.
When did he die?
Two months after Jeong Tae Hoon's mother died,
he killed everyone in his family in six months.
I found out today.
Jeong Tae Hoon's mother's death date is the day that you went to the trial.
What was the cause of death?
The mother's was a car accident.
Because of his disappearance, Jeong Tae Sung's is unknown.
That case ended and I was sent to another station, so I never knew about it.
But I was so absent-minded.
There's no other relatives?
The parents were orphans.
Oh. So the suspects have been downsized to one.
Who is that one person?
Have you ever meet Kim Yeong Chul?
That...give it to me.
Give it to me.
No..oo...
Those punks...I'm...going to kill them.
They'll kill you. Then go and kill them.
If you have courage, do it.
Don't just stay there then.
But Yeong Chul, they're nothing.
They're sad and cowardly men.
They're not even worth your hatred.
Yeong Chul...I...
The most kindest friend, Yeong Chul, that I have...
I don't want him to get messed up by some cowardly guys.
That...for right now...I'll keep it.
What were you going to do with this?
Give it to me.
Were you going to pierce me with this?
Tae Hoon got into an accident to save you, right?
It was like that, right?
No...
Sorry Tae Hoon.
I'll pay you back.
I will...I will pay you back.
Sir. You're in 1128?
Yes.
This over there.
What?
Yesterday a delivery came, but you weren't there so I kept it.
What is this?
Kim Sun Ki.
Why send this to me?
I have something to say to Detective Kang.
Oh, okay.
This case, you're still investigating it?
Yes.
Do you still remember what I said?
When I said that the law may be on your side, but I wasn't.
I remember.
And that the person was so ashamed of the dead Tae Hoon to start a new life?
Yes, I do.
Then remember one last thing.
Before you're a person, you're a detective.
The moment your emotions take place, you're destroying Kang Oh Soo's life.
Think about it.
If you can handle this case through the end as a detective.
This is not something I can run away from.
I'm not saying to run away, but think about if you have the strength to go through with it.
Sir.
Do you think I don't have the abilities to take this case?
Do I have the right to answer that question?
But I do know that a person who recognizes his errors and tries to break free is only you.
Oh Soo.
Why aren't you going in?
How about Sun Ki?
He's inside.
Go in first.
Yeah, Detective Lee.
You have to let the guardian be there, of course.
What are you doing?
Why are you so open with women?
What are you talking about?
Why is this picture coming to me?
It came to you?
Yeah.
Give it to me.
- Why? It's mine. - It came to me.
No, it isn't.
Oh, you came.
Hey! Why are you tearing it?
Hey!
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
He's really tearing it.
Hey!
He's tearing it.
- That bastard ripped a photo just now. - A photo?
It's a picture of him and his girlfriend and he...
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
Then why did you rip it?
We ended a while ago and I don't want to remember it.
Tell me.
Why is Dae Sik's murderer frightening us?
He's a really weird man.
Just stop it!
That's just my business.
It came to me.
What?
It's nothing.
Hey, didn't you tell me to tell you if something got delivered?
A picture came?
Yeah.
Why would a picture of him hugging his girlfriend come to me?
Nobody knows that I'm here.
It's weird, huh?
Is it true?
My girlfriend probably sent it, to clearly break it off.
But my name was clearly on it.
She just knows you, so she just wrote it.
Does that make sense?
It was in a red packet, huh?
How did you know?
Where is the ripped up picture?
I threw it away.
I put it down the toilet.
Why did you throw it away?
I told you already that if something weird happens, to tell me.
It's just a blackmail picture.
Was there anything else, a card or something?
It was only one photo.
Was there anything special about the photo?
Just...it was just a photo...
It's not just a photo. A criminal sent it!
What are you talking about?
From now on, listen carefully to what I say.
Is this related to Tae Hoon's death?
Yeah.
That doesn't make sense.
But why does he send me a picture?
A criminal has a reason for everything.
The criminal has a set rule.
He's never going to break that rule.
His pride is up for grabs and the game is starting.
Then his next target is me?
There was no tarot card.
But there is another reason.
What is it?
Do you still have that picture?
No, I don't.
Are there no peculiarities with that picture?
It's just a picture.
Oh, that's right.
What is it?
It was a picture taken in front of a home, with them in their arms.
No, it wasn't.
It was a picture with no one knowing, right?
Yeah, but you didn't take it.
Call your girlfriend if she got it, too.
Huh?
call her!
She went to America to study.
When?
It's been a few days.
Really?
Yeah.
Tae Hoon and I have no relations to this.
But it's different for you.
Think about this, what did I do wrong?
I'm just a victim.
I didn't kill him. He died from an accident.
That's what Oh Soon said.
What's wrong with you?
Am I wrong?
Yeah, it's all my fault.
Whether it was an accident or not, it's all my fault.
But it's important for others not to get hurt.
Because a letter was sent, I can't let others get hurt.
How about the suspect? Aren't the police conducting an investigation?
Although we're not sure, Yeong Chul is suspicious.
Oh Soo.
By any chance...
what?
By any chance...
isn't it Sun Ki?
What are you talking about?
You know yourself that whenever Sun Ki opened his mouth, our lives were messed up.
So...he's the criminal?
When I met Dae Sik, he said it himself.
I'm going to kill that punk myself!
I'm going to take off my clothes and kill you!
Hey!
That was just the beer talking.
He has no reason to do this either.
No.
He might have just hid the photo and got it himself.
Why do you think so?
The only person that saw girl was Sun Ki.
That isn't a reason.
My hunch tells me so.
Yeong Chul can't do this, you know that.
People change.
What made him change was me.
What do we do?
Go, hurry!
Suk Jin...
Hurry punk!
Oh Soo, hurry.
Hurry up, get up!
Wake up! You can't be here.
You can't be here.
I got a red envelope, too.
Do you think it's Yeong Chul, too?
I don't think so.
He's the one who didn't say anything when you told him to.
Because it was an accident.
Not that.
when they were looking for the Wang Dda* (best fighter in the school), he didn't say anything.
Now coming this far, he does that?
And that's because of the dead Tae Hoon.
Then....
who do you think it is?
How do I know?
Of course, you don't know.
A picture was sent to your friends?
Yeah. There was no tarot card. Just a picture.
Up to date, Lawyer Kwon got a tarot card and a knife.
Jo Dong Sub got a letter.
Kim Jeong Yun got a rifle. Yoon Dae Sik got a doll and a tarot card.
So to his victims he sends a tarot card and evidence of the past.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
Your friend has a chance of being the next victim.
That is your reasoning.
Right?
If you look at how it was going, that is how it looks.
But what would he do with a picture?
Did you forget about the doll incident?
Kim Jeong got a rifle.
We don't know for sure if Detective Kang's friend is the next victim,
but that picture could be the clue to the next incident.
What kind of picture is it?
It's just a regular picture with his girlfriend.
Anyway, I haven't received a tarot card yet.
If that picture is a warning of the next incident, a tarot card will come to me.
Of course.
For right now if Sora identifies the man as Kim Yeong Chul, we can avoid the next incident.
Would Kim Yeong Chul go out to meet you?
I hope so.
I understand you not wanting to meet me...
But I have to meet you.
I'll leave the meeting place and time as a message.
I'll wait until you come, so come.
Please.
Message has been sent.
If the policeman asks you something, Sora, you have to just tell him what you know.
You cannot say anything if you don't want to, too.
Yes. If I go there will I meet my mom?
Of course. You really want to see your mom, huh?
Yes. I really really really want to see her.
Hae In?
What about Sora?
She's coming right now.
To get a statement from a child, we need the family's permission.
But since she has no close relatives, I wanted to ask you for that favor.
I'm alright with it, but I'm worried for Sora.
If you're right next to her, everything will be fine.
Anyway, I promised that person to meet him.
That student I saw in my premonition?
His name is Kim Yeong Chul.
We need you to confirm the match of the face in your premonition with his face.
Sora, do you know who this man is?
What did this man do to your mom?
He was mean.
How was he mean?
He kept yelling and hitting and saying that he would kill her.
Then do you want to play a "find a person" game with me?
A "find a person" game?
Yeah. If you saw me on the street you would recognize me, right?
Wow, Sora's memory must be really good.
Then you must remember the kind man that gave you the doll?
The man that was dropped off in front of the police station, you remember him?
You just have to tell him as you know it, Sora.
Yes.
Really?
I'm really curious about who that kind man is too.
Sora, if you see that man again, you would recognize him, right?
Thanks for the hard work.
No, it's nothing.
Because you helped out so much, Sunbae* Kang and the team leader is so grateful.
*deferential way to call an older co-worker
By chance, I found out about you.
My other co-workers don't know about you.
Oh, yes....
Truthfully, I'm very jealous.
If I had that skill, I would have been the number one policewoman.
But I'm jealous of you.
If Sora's security is not more secured, we can not continue with our compliance.
So that's why I'm saying that you should choose a secure place.
For one thing, what would happen if Sora and that man met by chance?
That won't happen.
So you're easily guaranteeing this?
I'll take responsibility for Sora's security.
Trust us and please comply with us.
But even if Sora matches him, that won't be enough proof?
If she just assures us, then we will find the evidence for sure.
We will do everything in our power to do so. Please.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Did you confirm it yourself?
I just heard this news, so I haven't been able to confirm it myself. But I think it's true.
What about Uhn Loan?
They are doing a thorough secret investigation.
What an annoying matter.
Find out more about that child quietly.
Who are you talking about?
The dead brother.
Why he died and when he died....everything.
Yes, sir.
Why do you want to know that?
He was a man that I thought would find me again...
Is it Kang Dong Hyun?
Did you call me?
Yes.
That childhood friend must be tougher than expected.
So what's the favor?
People that can never be killed have been killed.
Also they died because of "good" people like you.
Are you student Jeong Tae Hoon's family?
Let's go in.
I came for a favor.
Like now, eat well and live well.
Don't ever go bankrupt and don't ever die...like right now...
No...better than now...eat better and live better.
You say harsh words.
I understand your heart...that was an accident.
Remember this.
I...
will always, anywhere, look after your son and your family.
And I will by any costs come back to meet you.
That boy that came must have died.
It's mister!
From outside, they can't see inside.
Really?
Yes.
Isn't he coming?
He's already 30 minutes late.
I left him a message, so just wait for him now.
He came.
Sora, you didn't forget what I said, right?
He came.
Thanks for coming.
What do you need to tell me?
I won't talk indirectly.
I think that you have something to do with Dae Sik's death.
Is that the man?
Do you really not know anything?
Yes...
Really?
If you're going to talk about that... then I have nothing to say.
Sora, is that the right man?
Is it right?
No?
Yes.
Don't call me about this again.
I...don't have any interest in this.
I'm...going.
He's not?
Yes.
Sora, that man before wasn't him?
Yes.
He's really not?
Yes.
Did you look at him closely? Did you truly look at him?
Detective Kang!
That can't be true.
Sora, with confidence...
What are you doing?
Sora told you as she knows it.
Detective Kang, don't try to make Sora say what you want.
Don't worry.
I'll take you to the library.
I'll take the train.
Sora, do you want to visit your sister's library?
Today was fun, huh?
We went to the amusement park and ate delicious food, right?
Yes. It was fun.
Next time we can play again.
Hey, Sora. Do you see that police station over there?
Yes...
If you wait in front of there, your mother will come take you home.
How about you?
I can't go with you.
Is it because of those bad men?
Yes.
Because those bad men are chasing after me, I have to run away.
Like my mom?
Yeah, like your mom.
Sora, you didn't forget your promise with me?
If those bad men show up...and they ask if you know me what will you say?
That I don't know you.
Sora keeps her promises well, huh?
Although my father doesn't keep promises well, I do.
You're right.
Because Sora is a kind child.
Then promise again!
Anyway, the picture might come to you, too.
So I'm telling you. I thought you should know.
Who sent it?
I don't know.
How could you not know?
If that picture goes to Hee Soo, then it's the end for me.
It won't be easy to discover it.
How do you know?
If he knew about our relationship, we could threaten or try to bargain with him.
And there's a possible suspect.
Who?
Your friend?
Yeah...it seems so.
Then do something with Suk Jin.
I'll get the money ready.
Don't get so worried.
Whatever happens, Hee Soo will never know what happened.
Let's go.
It's unbearable.
Let's just say one of the suspects had died.
And another has a conviction, but no evidence. Even the eyewitness is saying it isn't.
I have to look for it again.
We lost something along the way.
You told me to keep a watch on Kim Yeong Chul. Do I hide starting from today?
What about Detective Kang?
The criminal knows about your skills and wants to use it to his advantage here.
He might be deliberately planting Yeong Chul in your afterimages so that we would find him.
But it wasn't true that I only saw Kim Yeong Chul.
That was what that boy felt.
I'm sure that in the after image the adult wasn't Kim Yeong Chul
Then that means Yeong Chul had planned this out before hand.
Yes.
It could have been that I made a hasty conclusion.
No, it wouldn't be.
I still think that way.
If Yeong Chul planned it or not, this is the second part of his character.
Second part of his character?
Yes.
From the time Jo Dong Sub was in jail, anonymous letters were delivered.
Looking at Yeong Chul's record, he was in Australia at the time.
All the letters were sent from Korea.
Since Yeong Chul returned from Australia three years ago,
we have to look at another person as the one who sent the letters.
Of course.
And...this was sent to me before.
Not a tarot card, but he sent my picture.
With my anguish I conceal my image, So you pass me by.
The people with a hidden soul pass by me.
This...
This is a passage from Dante's Divine Comedy.
If it's Dante's Divine Comedy, it took place at La Porte de l'Enfer
True.
This excerpt is the scene that shows Hell.
Dante's trip starts at the entrance to Hell.
It would be good for you to stop reading your images.
I'm not saying that it's hard.
It's not that.
Although it may not be, the images could have been manipulated and planted in
so that we would be tempted to go where he wants us to go.
But that doesn't matter.
Wherever the criminal says to go, I will go.
Even if it's hell, I will go there to meet him.
It's Kang Oh Soo.
This is Oh Seung Ha.
Are you with Hae In right now?
Registered mail?
Why did you need to see me so suddenly?
Not for the reason for Hae In's witnessing of the incident 12 years ago, but I want to know why she's helping you.
Did you call me out here for that?
There's a person that is trailing her.
Then you know who it is?
It's reporter Sung Joon Pyo.
Sung Joon Pyo?
That person is following her.
And he knows that she's helping you.
And what else do you know?
And he asked what the key that Hae In had was.
If I were you, I wouldn't get her involved with this incident more.
I understand what you're saying, but this isn't something you should be getting yourself into.
It is because I am worried for Hae In.
Just by not involving her in the case won't keep her safe.
But she would be safer than now.
That is not true.
The criminal knows Hae In and is probably watching her.
If Hae In is somewhere that I can watch over, I would be less worried.
And if anything happens, I will protect Hae In.
Then I'm hearing this with your confidence?
Whether I have confidence or not, I don't have to be hearing this from you.
Then I'll trust you, Detective Kang.
I'll trust your word then.
That man kept asking questions about you.
Is there really no suspicious person?
What is it...?
What do you mean?
He's around thirty years old and has a circular face...
Right!
Do you know who it is?
Oh, I know.
Who is it?
Did you go home?
I found out where that number was.
This is right.
It's right here.
When did you come?
Just now.
Right now I was just thinking of you because the sunlight was so good.
You said that you like the spring's rays the best, right?
I did?
You did.
Yeah. Did you see it?
A little.
You waited, Noona?
Yeah.
My Seung Ha, let me hold your hand.
To my friends or family, no tarot cards came.
But I know for sure that someone has one.
I have to find that person no matter what.
If you could just...
Don't worry so much...
What if the criminal dies first? That would be really bad.
Does Hee Soo know?
About your girlfriend.
The place looks like it should be front of a special event.
Is it fun?
It's fun to see me like this, huh?
Don't be so cowardly!
