Please stop, Mr. Won!

It's dealing with the have-nots
that's most difficult.

The lowlifes.

Is this emergency services?
There's someone...

Stop right there, you bastard!

It's you.

I've waited for 25 years.

EPISODE 8

The Judge from Hell

Did you change your shift?

They'll give me the day shift
as soon as they find my replacement.

Come home right after school
before it gets dark.

Okay, I will.

But he only attacked women.

I worry more about Ms. Jang, Ms. Oh,

Judge Kang and you than me.

Especially Ms. Jang.
She goes to church every night.

Thank you, Minjun.

Ms. Oh, you should
collect the recycling during the day.

It's dangerous at night.

Just take care of yourself.

You look even more dangerous.

You always work late.
I'm worried about you too.

Be careful.

Do you sleep with your eyes open?

What?

I said, you be careful too.
It's dangerous.

Right. I will.

Now, let us all pray
that the missing detective

returns home safely.

Dear Father, thank you for allowing
our Hwangcheon Villa family

to gather here today.

Please watch over sister Kim Soyeong
so that she can return home safely.

Amen.

Amen.

As an active officer
went missing during an investigation,

the chief gave instructions
to solve the case

as quickly as possible
by mobilizing all personnel.

The forensics team
is currently examining the scene.

We won't know until we get
the exact forensic results,

but the blood found on the scene

is presumed to be Detective Kim's.

One more thing.

Violent Crime Team 2
will sit this one out.

What?

Look. We're looking for our team leader.

- Why would we sit it out?
- Look at the state you're all in.

You won't be objective.

- But...
- It's the chief's orders.

Violent Crime Team 2 will
focus on their case at hand.

Is it so terrible to miss one meal?

Why did you leave
Detective Kim alone there?

Stop it.

You know it's not his fault.

I'm sorry.

No.

Eunseop is right.

It's all my fault.

Because of me, Detective Kim...

We don't know what happened to her yet.

Don't you know what kind of person she is?

She will be back soon.

Where are you going?

To her home.

Take care of him.

It's okay, Dahui.

Mom will be back, don't worry.

It's all right.

Daon.

Mom's not picking up.

Can you hurry up and find her?

Find her now!

It's all right.

She'll be back soon.

When the statute expired
and records were discarded,

Soyeong made a copy.

J SERIAL KILLING CASE 5

Soyeong told me not long ago

that she thought he was back.

I'm showing you this for one reason.

As much as she tried to keep the promise
she made to you as an officer,

you should take responsibility

and do your job as an officer

without wavering.

Soyeong won't go down easily.

Let's trust that and wait.

Okay.

Are you back from work now?

Yes.

Did you find Detective Kim?

She'll be back.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. She'll be back soon.

JUDGE KANG BITNA

KIM SOYEO

She'll come back.

Because Han Daon believes she will.

But has he been eating?

I don't think he's sleeping much.

DETECTIVE HAN

Can you come with me
to meet someone?

Who?

Someone who will prove
the victim's innocence.

I don't care about
the victim's innocence...

When are you going?

Choi Wonjoong is arguing
that Won Changseon used the strike

to extort money
because of his gambling debts.

His daughter has cancer
and needs chemotherapy.

Insurance didn't cover it,
so it's true he needed money.

But gambling?

That's a lie
maliciously made up by the CEO.

I know it's a lot to ask,
but could you say in court

what you just told me?

I was thinking to find another job anyway
because I can't stand this company.

If it's for his honor,

I will gladly testify.

Thank you so much.

WITNESS STAND

Your Honor.

An hour has passed already.

At this point,

I think it's fair to say
that the witness is not coming.

Let's wait five more minutes.

DEFENDANT

Excuse me.

I'm a witness.

You were close
with the victim, correct?

- Yes.
- The victim had a huge amount of debt.

Do you know why?

I heard it was from gambling.

Did the victim tell
you anything else in relation to the debt?

He said, "I'm going to threaten
the CEO with a strike"

and use the extorted money
to pay off my debts."

No more questions.

The victim had a large debt
due to gambling.

He had no way to pay it back,
so he used the strike

to threaten the defendant.

And the defendant

gave the victim money to end the strike.

But he couldn't contain his anger,
so he kidnapped and assaulted the victim.

And the victim,
who disappeared after that,

ended up taking his own life.

Is this the defendant's argument?

That is precise, Your Honor.

Does the prosecution
have more to say

about the defendant's claims?

No, Your Honor.

I see.

I will see you on sentencing day.

Sir, wait.

We need to talk.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

KICK JUDGE KANG OUT OF COURT

Thank you, Lord, for your grace
and for blessing us with this food.

Thank you for blessing everyone
who is gathered here today.

In the name of Jesus we pray.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Please, let's eat.

Good work, Judge Kang.

You really earned this.

I didn't do much.

I'm actually honored

to be dining with such a stellar line-up.

By the way, how did you fabricate
evidence related to gambling?

The documents were a work of art.

The lawyers did great work.

How did you get
the union's vice chairman on your side?

Throwing away all pride and conscience

when offered even a small sum

is what poor people do.

I'd rather die than live like that.

What a wretched life.

Pretending to know their life
without having been poor,

I don't care for that.

Everyone is vulnerable to money.

Judge Kang, my son is

praying hard in the lockup
and reflecting.

Is he asking
the deceased victim for forgiveness?

No, the Lord.

The Lord has already forgiven him.

It's now your turn
to forgive him, Judge Kang.

Shall we toast?

To a successful trial.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Here you go.

The only survivor of serial killer J,

- I found him.
- Really?

Who is it? Where is he now?

Actually, you know him quite well.

Here.

Who in my close-knit circle is it?

HAN DAON

The kid who lost his parents
and sibling

is Han Daon?

Yes.

Are you upset?

No, I'm really glad.

The thought of going back to Hell
makes me happy.

I feel like flying.

Welcome.

Excuse me.

Daon. What do you mean we
should protect Choi Wonjoong?

Moon Jeongjun, Bae Jayeong,
and Yang Seungbin who were murdered,

were all released after receiving
light sentences from Judge Kang.

If Choi Wonjoong is released
after this trial,

he would be the next target.

So you want us to protect that bastard?

When we haven't even found
Detective Kim yet?

- Who cares if that bastard dies?
- Hey.

You're an officer.

I know how you feel.

But before any more victims turn up,
we have to catch them.

Detective Kim would want that.

So what should we do?

You can't just let her go.
This woman stabbed me.

And thank you for acquitting Daon

for the direct assault.

What are you doing there?

You said you wanted to ask me something.

I had to hear it from you.

Only then can I believe it.

What is it?

What time is it now?

It's 10 p.m.

That wasn't the question, right?

Why not?

Officers know the exact time,
that's why I came.

And now that I know, I should go.

The sentencing hearing...

Whatever ruling you give,

do your best.

I will, too.

Okay, whatever.

COURT

Case number 2024GoDan235.

I'll pronounce the verdict
on the defendant Choi Wonjoong.

The defendant, CEO of KO Food,

was unhappy with the activities

of Won Changseon,
the chairman of his company's union.

Thus, he kidnapped, brutally assaulted,
and seriously injured the victim.

Eventually, the victim took his own life.

The shame and humiliation that the victim,

an ordinary family man,
felt during the assault by the defendant,

may have been more severe
than the physical pain he experienced.

Therefore, a heavy sentence
for the defendant is inevitable.

However, the defendant
paid a deposit to the court,

has actively promoted
the national economy as a businessman,

contributed to job creation,
and deeply regrets his actions.

Taking this into consideration,

it is questionable whether
giving the defendant a heavy sentence

is really in the public interest.

Also, though we can infer

that the defendant's assault
contributed to the victim's death,

there is no decisive evidence
confirming it was the cause.

And these are mitigating circumstances.

Criminal Act Article 281-1, Arrest,
Confinement Causing Bodily Harm applies.

Having considered all this, the court

shall rule as follows.

The defendant, Choi Wonjoong, is sentenced

to one year in prison,
two years of probation,

and 40 hours of community service.

All rise.

Your Honor!

Your Honor!

You can't do this.

Your Honor!

This isn't right.

He's never even apologized to us.

Why are you forgiving him as you please?

You have no right to!

What were you hoping for?

That he gets what he deserves.

I've always made my judgements that way.

This is ridiculous.

Hey.

- Are you okay?
- Yugyeong!

Hurry, call an ambulance!

- Yugyeong, wake up!
- Hurry, take her.

Yugyeong!
Oh, no, Yugyeong...

Yugyeong.

RUDE JUDGE'S ABSURD RULING

How dare a mere reporter
write about a judge like this?

They're not wrong.

How can you joke right now?

You're all over the Internet right now!

Those idiots don't even know the law.

Because they don't know the law,
you and I can make a living.

You should be grateful.

Anyway, congratulations.

Assemblyman Jeong will be happy with you.

Don't nag me.
I'm going to quit when I'm ready.

You can like
the malicious comments about me.

Wow, how did she know?

She might be a mind reader.

A mind reader?

Yes, but the ruling

- is at the judge's discretion...
- I understand you're upset,

but Judge Kang made the ruling
based on the law...

Yes, I understand, but...

Please stop yelling.

No need for you two to be yelled at
for my ruling.

JUDGE'S OFFICE

Why did he look at me like that?

Makes me feel bad.

Arong messaged me.
She's done checking the place out.

Tell her to stand by so she can come
as soon as I call her.

Okay.

They've been criticizing you harshly.
Are you upset?

- When was I not criticized?
- That's true.

Where are the thugs
who kidnapped the victim?

They're criminals, too.
I should kill and send them to Hell.

Yes, Jaehyeon and Dongju
are asking around for them.

They'll report back.

By the way, Justitia,
are you going to keep working with Arong?

Yeah, why?

Just, she doesn't seem like a good demon.

Demons are supposed to be bad.

But she's not just bad.

I really do think she's Satan.

What are you talking about?

There's no way she'd betray me.
You might though.

Seriously, she might stab you
in the back, Justitia.

Gosh.

How is the victim's daughter?

She's in the hospice ward
because her condition is serious.

Are you... worried?

It's not my fault. Why would I worry?

Right?

By the way, is your terrible personality
innate?

- Do I need to beat you to make you leave?
- No.

She stopped her chemotherapy
for too long.

You should prepare yourself.

No, Doctor.

Please save my Yugyeong.

Yugyeong.

Yugyeong...

Mom.

I'm thirsty.

I'm right here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

The identities of four men who died

in a recent unexplained fire
have been revealed.

They were all organized crime figures
wanted for kidnapping

the head of the KO Food union.

- Park Hyeonggon.
- Why'd you do that?

Trash that cannot be recycled

has to be incinerated.

Are you nuts?

We only clean up dead humans.

We don't interfere in their lives.

If Justitia finds out
you kept them from her

and killed them yourself,

you're dead.

I'm not.

Because you'll keep it a secret.

Gosh.

It's become 1.5 cm smaller.

Is that possible, Doctor?

Sometimes, there are miracles
that cannot be explained by medicine.

You don't have to
worry about the cost now.

So don't miss your appointments.

I'd like to thank the person
who sponsored my treatment.

They don't want to reveal who they are.

Don't forget their kindness,

and continue with the treatment

so you can live long, for your father.

Yes, Doctor.

Why did you donate
200 million to the hospital?

Don't you know
demons are prohibited from donating?

You knew about that?

Goodness. If you don't like it,
report me to Hell.

I can't be bothered.

Isn't it amazing that Yugyeong woke up?

This must be one of those miracles
people talk about.

- Miracles?
- Yeah.

Who knows?

Maybe an angel visited her.

Let's go, run!

Good dog!

Why did you refuse protection?

The trial's over.

And I'm out.

Nothing's happened so far.

No one knows what might happen.

It sounds like
you want something to happen.

I'm an officer.

It's my duty to protect you
in case something happens.

There's no need. You can go.

Nothing's going to happen.

But if anyone does attack me,

I'll win.

- Donghun.
- Yeah?

He's refusing protection.

He has no idea
he should be afraid right now.

How can he be so cocky?

I think he's in danger.

Then let's move on to the next plan.

Okay. Let's get on it.

- All right.
- Okay.

CHOI WONJOONG

Heavenly Father,
who has forgiven me all my sins,

thank you.

Thank you for being on my side

and with me always so I can enjoy

greater wealth,

health, and blessings compared to others.

I truly thank you.

ARONG

Start it.

RESTRICTED CALLER ID

Yes, this is Choi Wonjoong.

Mister, do you think
praying at church

means you can get away with murder?

Hey, kid.
You shouldn't prank call people like this.

You hired thugs

and hung a poor man on a tree to die.

I have proof that you ordered them

to kill him.

Can I post it online?

Who are you?

Who told you to do this?

If you're curious,

come to the theme park
near your golfing range now.

Oh, right. Mister!

If you tell anyone or don't come alone,

I'm going to post everything online.

Hello!

Weren't they killed in the fire?
The guys we hired?

- That's what we heard.
- "That's what we heard"?

Are the officers still outside?

Yes, sir.

But do the police

really need to protect a scumbag like him?

Do you think I became an officer for this?

If Detective Kim were here,

she would have said we definitely need to.

Hey!

What's the license plate number?

- Three, five, two, nine.
- Three, five...

- Okay, let's go.
- Okay.

Let's talk.

- Tell me the truth.
- About what?

You know what I mean.

I know you're going to kill Choi Wonjoong.

Stop now.

I don't want to arrest you myself.

This is the last chance I can give you.

Why don't you be honest
with me first?

What you think about the serial killer J

who brutally murdered your family?

Don't you want to find him
and kill him now?

I do want to find him,

but I want him to be tried by the law.

I've never wanted to kill him.

The statute's expired.
How will you put him on trial?

Detective Han Daon.

Don't chase me. Help me.

Then I will find him

and make him pay in your place

because the law can't.

Compared to what your family experienced,
it will be more horrible

and violent.

I'm an officer.

I can't do that.

I gave you a chance, too.

You're the one who refused.

Let me just say this one last thing.

For believing in me

and telling me it wasn't my fault,

thank you.

Be grateful I didn't slap you.

It's my goodbye present.

Bang!

You scared me, damn it!

Who are you, asshole?

Damn it!

You really came.

It was so close.

- So close.
- Nice shot.

Not now.

Nice shot, Justitia!

- Say it.
- Nice shot.

Where should I hit next?

You must be curious
why I'm doing this to you.

But don't ask. I'm too tired to answer.

If you move, you'll get hurt.

Well, you'll still get hurt if you don't.

- You guys can go home.
- Oh, okay.

Go take it off.

You damn judge!

Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

I told you...

don't ask.

I won't ask, I won't...

Wow.

He fainted. He shouldn't faint already.

I should hit him to wake him up.

Good shot.

God damn it.

Stop!

Stop!

Thank you!

What happened, sir?

Thank you!

For what?

Go, go!

SERGEANT CLEANING

- Go!
- Okay!

Please forgive me! I was wrong.

What the...

Let me out!

Please, let me out!

What have you done to me?

I'm just getting started.

Your real trial begins now.

Do you admit that you, sinner
Choi Wonjoong, murdered Won Changseon

and yet are unrepentant and unforgiven?

What kind of bullshit is that?

You bitch!

Fine. It's not fun
if you repent right away anyways.

What kind of bullshit
are you trying to pull?

What's that? What the...

TICKET BOX

Why are you doing this to me?

Did you have fun?

What do you think?

Help!

Help...

Yes, I was wrong. Let me go.

- What did you do wrong?
- I killed him. I killed Won Changseon.

I hired people to kidnap him

and beat him.

I made it look like a suicide
and killed him.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Please, stop.

- I'm sorry.
- Right? You killed him, right?

Yes.

Then do you regret killing him?

Have you been forgiven?

I repented at church.

I said "I'm sorry" at church.

And God forgave me.

Not that.

Did you apologize to the victim?
Were you forgiven?

What?

I've already been saved by the Lord.

Wrong.

"Execute killers
unforgiven by their victims"

and unrepentant of their sins

"and send them to Hell."

That's what God wants.

It's the only power God gave demons.

Demons?

Go to Hell.

Geenna

geenna

Court is adjourned.

So you did kill them all.

Moon Jeongjun, Bae Jayeong, Yang Seungbin
and now Choi Wonjoong.

How are you here?

For believing in me

and telling me it wasn't my fault,

thank you.

No.

But what I said then was all true...

Shut up!

Give me your phone.

How...

How did you?

Amen.

What did you pray for?

Someone's been picking on me.

I prayed they'd go back to Hell soon.

I mean, I even bought sulfur powder.
For revenge.

How can you get revenge with that?

It's a secret,

but if you throw sulfur powder at a demon,

their powers are frozen
for an hour or two.

Koo Mando, that idiot.

Let go!

Kang Bitna,
you're under arrest for murder.

- You have the right to remain silent...
- Shut up.

I won't complain if you don't read me it.

I'm not petty or cheap like you.

EUNSEOP

Go ahead.

You found Detective Kim?

Where?

I'm on my way.

Soyeong.

YEAR 1999, YEONJU-DONG

Wait! Don't step on it.
We have to preserve the scene.

Requesting backup.
There's a homicide in 312 Yeonju-dong!

We need emergency backup!

Is someone in there?

- Mom!
- Wait!

You can't go out there now.

- Mom.
- No.

Officer.

My dad, mom, and Jion.

When are they coming back
from the hospital?

They'll be back soon.

Why are you crying?

You're lying right now, aren't you?

I'm...

going to become a great detective

and catch whoever did this

to your mom and dad

and Jion.

I promise.

What happened to the boy?

There's no relative to take care of him.

From Yeonju-dong?

Was it White Tree Childcare Center?

I hear he's staying there.

But isn't the center too far

from Manjae Elementary
for such a little boy?

Fight!

- Get off, you beggar!
- Fight!

Get off me!

Move!

Get off, you orphan!
Do you have a death wish?

Stop it! Stop!

Han Daon lives in an orphanage.

Don't play with him.

Beggar!

He's an orphan.

It's because
he doesn't have parents.

Are you okay?

I bought you some sneakers.
Do you want to try them on?

Do you pity me because I'm an orphan, too?

I'm not a beggar! I don't need this!

- It's not that.
- You're a liar.

You said you'd catch the killer.
You didn't keep your promise.

You suck, get lost!

Get lost now!

Kim Yeongsu's mother?

Yeongsu... Hello!

Next is Kim Chaeyeon's mother.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- He's alone.
- Daon!

I told you.

Stop coming.

I don't want to see you. I'm tired of you.

Are you mad because I'm late?

Give it. Come here.

Daon, let's do it together.

I made this, it's really good.
We made this together.

Come on. Let's go.

There's one space left
for parents' kickball.

- Would anyone like to join?
- Me!

I'm Han Daon's mom. Class 3-1.

Yes, Daon's mother.

- Let's go, Daon. This way.
- Okay.

It's Daon's mother.

- You got this!
- We got this! Let's go, Daon.

MANJAE ELEMENTARY
CLASS KICKBALL MATCH

One more!

One more!

Hey, what are you doing?

Out!

Give me your hand.

This? I'm fine. It's not even bleeding.

Not that.

Okay.

Why won't it get better?

That's annoying.

Have you thought about
what Hyeongseok and I said last time?

When we move into a new house next year,

we want to live with you.

We would like to live with you

and be your family.

You can have your own room there.

I don't need it.

I want to sleep in the same room

as you guys.

What?

Thank you, Daon.

On the count of three, okay?

Now, smile.

One, two, three!

Daon.

Can you kill someone for me?

Who?

Serial killer J.

Find him and send him to Hell.

You can do it because you're a demon.

No, let's do it together.

I'm going to rip him to shreds
when I see him!

- Han Daon.
- Didn't you hear me?

Should I say it again?

I'm going to kill that bastard!

No. Then you'll go to Hell, too.

After I kill that bastard,

you can kill me and send me to Hell.

I will gladly let you kill me then.

That promise,

make sure you keep it.
