The Devil
[School Brings Student Deaths by Sung Joon Pyo]
There was a different name and address each time.
He sent a different letter each time but used the same closing passage.
God predetermines a man's destiny, but man has the power to change it.
Oh, my goodness...
Episode 15
I know the fact that Kang Oh Soo is a murderer.
You're still so messed up.
Don't forget who you are.
I saw Kang Oh Soo stab Jeong Tae Hyeon with a knife.
Mr. Kang, you're the only person who can save yourself.
Was the incident that happened 12 years ago an accident?
I'll take that.
You've helped a lot already.
Yeah, she did all the dishes.
I helped out too, you know.
Where did you find such a pretty girlfriend?
Yeah, no wonder you haven't been paying much attention to me.
It's not what you think.
He never even once brought a friend over.
Especially a lady.
Actually...
-Uncle Seung Ha! -Mr. Oh!
I'm going to show Sora our organic vegetable patch. Can you come?
He's already been there.
But you didn't go with us. Come on.
Come on.
Alright, let's go.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
I've never seen him smile like that.
We've been like brothers for over 10 years, but I hardly see him smile.
When I first met Seung Ha, he was weird.
He was younger than me, and I couldn't tell what on earth he was thinking.
He had a lot of guts, too. He fought against me even though I'm 10 years older.
There you go again telling that story.
Am I?
I can't help telling old stories. Seung Ha reminds me of them.
He talks about you a lot, too. He said you're very good-hearted.
No, he's the one who changed my life.
I'd be a nightclub manager if it weren't for him.
Take good care of him, Hae In.
He always says he's alright, but I feel bad seeing him tired and feeling alone.
But meeting you, I'm quite relaxed.
Oh Soo!
Are you okay?
What happened?
You had a concussion. Your CT scans say you're okay right now, but if the pain...
Where's Hwang Dae Pil? I need to find him.
I know he intended the accident. I need to find him and...
Hwang Dae Pil got you!
What do you mean?
It's a complete chaos at the station.
Explain it to me.
Hwang Dae Pil is saying he'll sue you for invasion of human rights.
What?
I'm really sorry.
That's not going to solve anything.
A cop who thinks it's okay to look down on powerless people like me
Doesn't deserve to be a cop.
Detective Kang didn't look down on you, sir.
He was just over passionate about his job.
That's having a sense of privilege!
How could a cop who's supposed to protect me break into my house?
I know it's wrong. He will be punished for his actions, so please...
I have nothing more to say.
Mr. Hwang Dae Pil, you were being used.
What?
The man who sent you the letters you have at your house, used you to kill a man.
I know what made you do it, but...
What the heck are you doing? Apologize to him, now!
I don't need his apology.
Kang Oh Soo!
I'm sorry.
I don't want your apology.
Mr. Hwang!
Detective Kang!
What's wrong with you?
I can imagine how much you suffered from Sung Joon Pyo's falsely written story.
But it's not right for someone to use your grudges to kill another person.
And even yourself.
What do you mean?
Detective Kang!
Why are you trying to ruin your life?
Do you think you'll feel better if Sung Joon Pyo dies?
That's enough!
Oh Soo, calm down.
Fortunately, Sung Joon Pyo is still alive.
If you tell us what really happened...
What the heck are you talking about?
First you break in my house, and now you're accusing me as a murderer?
You're completely nuts!
I found the letters at your house.
You knew I was watching you. You left your keys in the mailbox on purpose.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm sorry.
Get in, now!
What are you doing?
I was looking for you.
This is the root of the daffodil at the library.
Did you bring it?
I thought it'd feel suffocated living in a pot.
This will be a comfortable home until next spring.
It'll live through summer and winter, and in spring, it'll blossom again.
Next Spring...
Sora and Han Eul would've grown a lot by then.
Yeah.
There, it's planted.
Mr. Kang gave this to me.
Detective Kang?
Yeah. He looks a bit cold on the outside, but he has a good heart.
Actually, you two have a lot in common.
At first, I thought the two of you were very different.
But as I got to know you, I find you two very alike.
How?
You both aren't very good at expressing your feelings.
And there's a soft and warm side to both of you.
I think you two will become good friends.
We should get going.
I think that was a sun shower.
It could've lasted longer.
If Mr. Kang's called to the disciplinary committee, he'll be suspended.
You're not making this any better!
Detective Kang has been working day and night, not sleeping or even going home.
He has the highest record of arresting criminals.
Please, don't take this to the disciplinary committee.
You know I don't have that authority!
There are a lot of bad rumors about him.
If Hwang Dae Pil sues him, the people higher than us will eventually find out!
I'll talk to Hwang Dae Pil.
Please, don't report this to the committee.
Please, sir.
Even if he doesn't get sued, they'll at least take a disciplinary measure.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ban.
I'm really sorry.
Did it hurt?
I'm sorry for hitting you.
It's okay. I'm sorry for causing you and my team so much trouble.
It appears that you didn't follow my orders.
What do you mean?
One of your boys was arrested at the accident scene.
I heard about it. I didn't order him to be there.
Then, you think it was a coincidence for him to be there?
I don't think it was a coincidence.
I think someone else hired him, too.
Someone else?
Yes, Congressman.
Do you mean the other person Sung Joon Pyo was talking about?
I think so.
I just got the pay phone records.
Who did Sung Joon Pyo call?
[Yi Minyeong, Oh Seung Ha, Kim Ingyeong, Kim Yonghun]
I asked who he called.
I'm not at my office right now. I'll get back to you about that.
Yes, Congressman.
[Oh Seung Ha]
Oh Seung Ha, Oh Seung Ha...
Let's go inside, now.
Hello?
What did you call for?
Remember that boy you used to always hang out with?
Who do you mean?
Oh Seung Ha.
Yeah.
I heard he became a lawyer. Am I right?
Yeah, why do you ask?
Just wondering.
Are you doing well?
Yeah, of course.
Detective Kang.
How have you been?
Good. What did you want to ask me so urgently about?
Was there anyone else with Tae Hyeon's brother when the accident happened?
According to the police, he didn't have any relatives or friends.
Is there something suspicious about the accident?
I don't think it was Jeong Tae Seong who died.
What do you mean?
Sung Joon Pyo came to see me after he found out who was behind everything.
You're fighting against a dead man, so the result is pretty obvious.
Back then, I thought he was talking about Tae Hyeon.
But?
Hae In saw him tell someone in her images that Jeong Tae Seong was already dead.
So what?
He was talking about Jeong Tae Seong, not Jeong Tae Hyeon.
There's no reason for Sung Joon Pyo to bring up Jeong Tae Seong's name.
The more I think about what he said, the more I think Jeong Tae Seong is alive.
But that's not enough for you to believe he's alive.
His student card was found on his body.
But no one recognized his face.
If you're right, that means someone died under Jeong Tae Seong's name.
If we find out who that is, we'll find out who the real Jeong Tae Seong is.
He'll be the manipulator of all the cases.
But don't you think the dead boy's family would've been looking for him?
He could've had no family.
I'm going to get a list of runaway boys
And look for those around Jeong Tae Seong's age.
Maybe that's what the old man knew.
Old man?
After I found out that Mr. Sung knew who the manipulator was,
I've kept tracing back his steps.
And?
There's a small store in front of where Jeong Tae Seong had the accident.
I think he found out something from the old man who lives there.
A young and an old man were talking.
I think it's the old man I saw in my images before.
What did they say?
They kept mentioning the name Tae Seong.
Where is that store?
The old man is at the hospital right now.
He can't talk. The nurse will call me when he gets better.
Will you call me when...
What's wrong?
Nothing.
You mean the lawyer, Oh Seung Ha?
Yes.
Sung Joon Pyo called him?
I think he did.
Oh Seung Ha...
Do you know him?
I want you to find out about him.
Don't leave anything out.
Yes, sir.
You must be tired. Get some rest.
I'm not tired.
It was refreshing to meet such nice people and to get some fresh air.
I'm glad to know that.
But I am a bit sad.
Why?
Sora didn't seem so sad to part with me. I feel a bit betrayed.
You should smile more often like that.
Your brother was really worried that you hardly smiled.
I'm going to go in.
I'm sorry.
Go in.
Okay.
Take care.
Why are you so startled?
No, I'm not.
Do you have a crush on Mr. Oh?
What kind of question is that?
You seem a bit lighthearted after you spend time with him.
No, I don't!
Mom, why don't we go out for a walk? We can stop by the church, too.
Did I tell you to take your hands off the case?
Remember that you're deteriorating the discipline of the whole station!
Someone used a cloned phone to call you.
That means an anonymous person hired you.
I don't know who called.
Attempted murder, eluding an officer, murder conspiracy...
Do you know how many years that is?
You have a criminal record, so it'll be at least 15 years.
Murder conspiracy?
If you don't spill the beans, that will be added.
I don't know who you're relying on, but all the evidence is working against you.
I don't care what happens to your life. What's your decision?
Do you want to go to jail like this?
Fine. Make a report of his statements and send it to the prosecutors.
Yes, sir.
Wait.
He was asked to follow Sung Joon Pyo and tell someone where he was.
He was ordered to take Sung Joon Pyo's bag and all his belongings.
It seemed like he knew nothing about the car accident.
Mr. Kang was right.
Someone used Ssangkal to find out where Sung Joon Pyo was,
And tried to frame Congressman Kang with the accident.
It wasn't Gyeon Jong Chul's order?
Ssangkal keeps saying he did it by himself.
I think Gyeon Jong Chul was hired by both Congressman Kang and
The man who used the cloned phone.
Ssangkal wouldn't have made a move without Gyeon Jong Chul's orders.
The manipulator told Mr. Oh about Gyeon and Mr. Kang doing business.
That means he knew Gyeon was hired by Mr. Kang, so he hired Gyeon himself.
Yeah.
Man, he's scary.
I think I know who he is.
Who is it?
It's just a guess. I'll tell you when I know for sure.
You're officially off the case. Watch your actions.
I will.
You'll at least be suspended if you're called to the disciplinary committee.
Things will get worse if Hwang Dae Pil presses charges.
But it's not right for someone to use your grudges to kill another person.
And even yourself.
Who is it?
It's Kang Oh Soo.
What do you want?
I need to speak with you.
I have nothing to say or hear from you. Why are you harassing me?
Give me some time.
What do you mean?
It was wrong for me to break into your house.
But I can't give up my job right now.
If that's what you have to say, I don't want to hear it.
The case we're investigating right now was caused by me.
I caused Sung Joon Pyo's car accident.
A lot of people are being victimized because of me.
People are being accused because of me.
That's why I need to solve this case.
I'll take whatever punishment after I see the end of this case.
Please, press charges after this is all over.
What do you mean?
Mr. Gyeon called and asked about you.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I guess he was just curious how I was doing.
Alright. Bye.
It's been a long time since we've spent time together like this. I'm sorry.
I understand that you're busy.
Thank you.
Here.
What is this?
Open it.
It looks good on you. Do you like it?
Of course I do. I like it.
We were set up by our parents, and we got married in two months.
Then I was promoted president of the hotel and got really busy.
I know you didn't tell me, but I'm sure you felt lonely.
I won't let you feel that way again.
That's a present I prepared for us to start over.
Thank you.
Why don't we go to Europe for a month...
[Secretary Na]
Who is it?
It's not important.
I see.
What were you saying?
Oh, nothing. Shall we go?
You look horrible.
You do, too.
I'm okay.
What I said about calling things off about us...
I know you said that because you were anxious.
No, I meant it.
We should stop seeing each other. That's the best for all of us.
Na Hee.
You didn't have the courage to start over like me.
I'm happy with our relationship right now.
Nothing matters as long as I have you.
I can't do it.
Hee Soo's a good man.
I want to be a good wife to him...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Suk Jin.
It's okay.
I don't want you to be miserable.
If that's what you want, we'll do that.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be sorry. It's okay.
It's okay, Na Hee.
Okay.
Mom, it's me.
Your youngest boy is here.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean? I came to see you.
You should've told me you moved. I went to your old house.
How's business?
Good enough to keep me alive.
You should quit. I'm going to be a manager of a casino in Jeju Island.
So you don't have to work anymore.
I didn't ask you for money.
Your friend Suk Jin gave me this today.
What?
He said Oh Soo's brother gave this to me to find a place to open up a store!
Oh Soo's brother?
What have you done to those people again?
Mom, it's not what you think.
Go give it back to him.
I don't want any money you ripped off your friend.
Sit down. Let's have a drink.
Do you think my mom's a bum? How dare you belittle her?
Instead of the casino, Hee Soo wanted you to open up your mom's own...
Don't give me that excuse, you bastard!
If you act this way, I have a different idea.
I'm going to spill the beans and ruin Hee Soo's marriage...
We're over.
What?
We both decided to stop seeing each other.
What does that have to do with this money?
That money's not from me.
Yeah, right.
Sun Ki, will you please forget what happened?
Erase your memory of me and her together.
I'll help you open up your own business.
I want her to be happy with Hee Soo.
That's what I want.
Oh, how touching.
This is the last favor I'm asking you as a friend.
I don't care if you broke up with her or not.
You know it's breaking news to the world.
What do you think Congressman Kang will do when he finds out you had an affair with
his daughter-in-law?
You said you'd try your best. I want that casino position in a week.
Or else, I'm going to tell Oh Soo's father.
Are you really going to do this?
You made a big mistake today.
Hang in there, Mr. Kang.
You have us, and you have Mr. Ban. Cheer up.
Mr. Shin is so sweet.
Oh Soo, everything will work out.
If there's another detective like you in Korea...
It will be horrible!
What do you mean, Detective Kim?
Another detective like him will make a disgrace of all the detectives in Korea.
Isn't that a bit harsh to say?
Yeah.
What's harsh?
Detective Kang, do you think I'm being harsh on you?
It doesn't make sense for a man with a past like yours to have become a detective.
Detective Kim!
Min Jae.
His case was closed as self-defense...
Stay out of this!
A lot of people are talking about whether you have the right to be a detective.
Don't make a disgrace out of others and think about what you should do.
The court sentences the defendant to three years in jail
With a stay of execution for five years.
The court will credit the defendant with 45 days of time already served in custody.
This is Oh Seung Ha.
This is Kang Dong Hyun.
Congressman Kang Dong Hyun?
Yeah, I was hoping to have lunch with you today.
I can do lunch, but I'm curious why you called me.
No special reason. I'm just interested in a lawyer with so much potential.
Mr. Mo.
Hey, there.
Were you surprised to hear from me?
No, I should've called you. I'm sorry, Mr. Mo.
It's okay.
I wanted to see you because something has been bothering me.
I met Gyeong Hun at one of my student's wedding.
Remember him? You were in the same class.
Yeah, I remember.
He was Tae Hyeon's best friend, so we got to talk about him.
Gyeong Hun said he saw Tae Hyeon's brother.
Jeong Tae Seong?
Yeah, but I heard he died in the same year as Tae Hyeon.
Gyeong Hun said he saw him when he was a senior in high school.
Are you sure it was Jeong Tae Seong?
Gyeong Hun was sure it was him, but Tae Seong acted like a stranger.
I might be reading into this too much, but I can't stop thinking about it.
Thank you for telling me.
Do you know where he saw Jeong Tae Seong?
I don't know exactly where, but it was somewhere in Uijeongbu.
Do you have Gyeong Hun's phone number?
Come in.
Nice to meet you. I'm Oh Seung Ha.
I'm glad you came. Please, have a seat.
I already ordered. I don't know how you'll like it.
I think I'll like whatever you ordered.
I like your answer.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
No, it's okay.
See you.
Bye. Take care, Mr. Mo.
Is it really okay?
Is it really okay for me to be alive like this?
If a messed up guy like me tries hard, tries really hard,
Will God grant me forgiveness at least once?
Will Tae Hyeon forgive me, Mr. Mo?
No, I don't deserve to be forgiven.
I don't deserve it, Mr. Mo.
Oh Soo, I believe you will be forgiven.
If you sincerely ask for forgiveness and try your best in life,
I'm sure God and Tae Hyeon will forgive you. I believe so.
I wanted to meet you in person when I heard you studied by yourself and even
Got the highest score on the bar exam.
Meeting you in person makes me think you're one of a kind.
A man as old as me has a good way of reading people's faces.
I wonder what you see in me.
I see a cold competitiveness in you.
I believe you are famous for your cold competitiveness.
You and I seem to have a lot of confidence.
It's an honor.
Thank you for thinking that way.
Your parents must be proud to have a great son like you.
You must be proud of your son, Detective Kang.
Do you know my son well?
Not quite well. We just have a lot of coincidences in common.
I met him through Mr. Gweon's case.
I heard you represented the man who murdered your teacher.
That's very wrong.
There's a matter of principle one must remember in this world.
Well, I have a different opinion.
It's a lawyer's job to reveal the truth.
Mr. Jo Dong Sup's incident was an accident, not an intended murder.
There's a huge difference between those two.
That's what the accused would say.
I think you'll be able to understand since your son was in
A similar situation.
You seem to know quite a lot.
The detective who was in charge of your son's case is the manager of my office.
That's why I said Detective Kang and I have a lot of coincidences in common.
I see.
I thought you wanted to see me because I knew about what happened.
What made you think so?
It's nothing good for people to talk about.
You would've been concerned for me to know about it.
No, there has been a misunderstanding. I'm not concerned about a closed case.
I'm glad to know that.
I was just wondering... DO you know journalist Sung Joon Pyo well?
I heard he was in a car accident recently.
Yes, he's a friend of mine.
I felt bad when I heard the news.
Yes, I understand.
I found out later that he called me on the night of the accident.
I think he had something to tell me, but unfortunately, I missed his call.
I see.
I hope I'm not taking up too much of your time.
No, you're not. You're much more friendly than you appear on TV.
You are friendly, too.
I'm glad you feel that way.
Did you find out anything?
Oh Seung Ha was raised at an orphanage with his sister.
Is his sister alive?
Yes, sir.
I see.
No, I want you to find out more.
Didn't you say it's all music?
Yeah.
Let's hear what's on it.
This is evidence, you know. I have to give it back to Mr. Kang.
What's wrong?
It's not the same USB stick.
Why all of a sudden?
Okay.
Then, I'll just hold onto it.
Okay.
Alright. Bye.
What do you want?
Is it really impossible to stop?
I know it's you who called Hwang Dae Pil on the pay phone.
Whatever.
And the other person who was at the scene was Tae Hyeon's brother Jeong Tae Seong.
Jeong Tae Seong is alive. And you know who he is?
Don't be ridiculous.
What can I do?
If you want to despise me and see me break down, do it some other way.
You don't even know what you did wrong.
Do you think what you're doing is right?
You're using people and victimizing them because of your hate against me.
Do you think it's right for you to ruin your own life like this?
Go tell Jeong Tae Seong.
I'll follow him to hell if that's what he want's me to do.
If that's the only way for him to forgive me, I'll do it.
But please tell him to stop victimizing innocent people.
How am I supposed to talk to a dead man?
I'm sorry, Yeong Chul.
I'm really sorry.
There were so many things I was sorry for, but it was hard for me to get the words out.
[Seo Hae In]
Who could've sent this?
Come in.
Have a seat.
Okay.
I need to go to Jeju Island this week. I have to meet the mayor.
You can meet him at the next investment...
I know. This is personal. Check my schedule.
Okay. How long are you staying?
Two days is enough.
I see.
And about Sun Ki...
I saw him when I was with my wife. He kept threatening me as if
he knew my weak spot.
I'm sure it's about Oh Soo.
I don't want him to cause trouble when my father's special election is coming up.
I understand.
He can cause more problems than we think.
I'm tired of being dragged around by him.
I believe my father and I gave him other opportunities.
What are you planning to do?
I'm going to leave it up to you.
I can't bribe him with money. It'll leave us right where we began.
I want you to come up with a specific plan.
What do you mean?
Don't you understand me?
I want him taken care of, completely.
Tell me whenever you need money or people to help.
You said you'd try your best. I want that casino position in a week.
Or else, I'm going to tell Oh Soo's father.
I think Tae Hyeon's brother is alive.
How can a dead person come back to life?
Detective Kang thinks he disguised someone else
who died in a car accident as himself.
Detective Kang thinks so?
Yeah. If he's right, the man behind everything will be Jeong Tae Hyeon's brother.
Detective Kang.
You don't look so good.
Maybe it's because I didn't wash my face. I'm just lazy like that.
What was it you were talking about?
I don't think this is the USB stick you're looking for.
It's not?
It's not the same one I saw in my image's.
It's not the one Sung Joon Pyo sent?
I'm not sure, but that's what I think.
Maybe Mr. Oh's sister got confused.
I asked Mr. Oh.
What did he say?
He said he's sure she wasn't confused because this was the only one she had.
Since she can't see, someone else could've accidentally taken it.
It's possible. Or she could've given me a different one on purpose.
Why would she do that?
If there was anything she wanted to keep a secret, she could've switched USB sticks.
But if it had something Mr. Oh's sister wanted to keep quiet,
I think Sung Joon Pyo would've sent it to someone else.
He must've sent it to leave some kind of evidence.
That's right.
I'll give you people a chance.
Now, it's time for you to make your decision.
Oh Seung Hee, Sung Joon Pyo,
Oh Seung Ha, Sung Joon Pyo,
Jeong Tae Seong...
Oh Seung Ha, Jeong Tae Seong!
