Original subtitles

-Let's stop this, Moo-yeom. -Let's end this,

Gab-dong.

As you know, the statute of limitations has already expired for me,

EPISODE 19

so I have nothing to be scared of.

And I have nothing to worry about except those poor women.

It won't be too bad to die in the hands of someone...

I admired for so many years.

Before I die,

I want to see that face again. That face at the trial.

That wicked face...

of Gab-dong.

Do-hyeok Cha. No,

Gab-dong,

show your shameful and cowardly self again.

You...

heartless bastard.

Once the beast is cornered, he'll become irrational.

You have multiple personalities.

How is it a sin if you kill in Gab-dong's name?

Detective Ha!

What happened?

Detective Ha.

Detective Ha.

Blow up a balloon when bad thoughts pop into your head.

When you're done, your mind changes, and your anger calms down.

-Where are you going? -Monk Jinjo told me,

"Don't try to be a hero.

There's a thin line between a psychopath and a hero.

You must stomp on other people's lives...

and emotions to be a hero."

I guess I want to be a hero.

A hero who caught Gab-dong.

I will ask you as a friend one last time.

Why did you do it?

Was there a reason for it?

If not, I need to find something today.

Other crimes.

OTHER CRIMES: CRIMES THAT ARE YET TO BE UNCOVERED

It always drives one crazy...

when time is running out.

Don't you agree?

What? He took Do-hyeok Cha?

-With that body? -He wants to find other crimes.

I couldn't stop him. Instead, the team and I will...

This might be wrong,

but it would be sad if I die...

-without catching Gab-dong. -Don't do this.

I don't have other crimes. And even if I did, why would I tell you?

There's an American serial killer named Bianchi.

He pretended to be a cop and kidnapped and killed women.

Just like you,

he also claimed that Steve lived inside him.

He almost got away but eventually got caught.

I guess...

enacting primal fear is hard in reality.

His nickname was "Hillside Strangler"

because he dumped women on a hill near LA.

Number 12, this is Number 14.

Contact me right away as soon as you find Detective Ha's car.

I haven't found him yet. Over.

I'm injured.

You should take me to the hospital even if I'm a suspect.

Oh, right.

But I'm in a worse condition than you, so let it go.

I don't care if I die.

But I can't die until I find out...

how many you have killed.

Where is your hill?

There wasn't anyone else buried behind Gwaneumsa Temple.

Where did you bury all the other women you killed?

My goodness.

You've gone mad indeed.

I can't make up what doesn't exist!

Fine.

Moo-yeom, we'll both bleed to death!

Time is not on your side anymore.

If you keep this up, you will die!

Moo-yeom is making me...

feel sorry until the end.

If he's doing that much,

I must do something, too.

I guess Dr. Oh is not coming.

What do we do?

Was this your plan from the beginning?

-I'm not sure. -When you asked me to teach you,

was that a trap?

Answer me.

Yes.

The police will come.

So let me go.

Mad Monk already knew you were going to do this.

And you still followed me?

-Why? -I wanted to see...

if you could change.

Should I blow one more...

until Dr. Oh arrives?

Moo-yeom, I committed the first to ninth murders.

There's no more.

You will die, too. You're gambling with your life.

Then I'm perfect for that game.

I have a good gambling fund.

The short life that I have left,

-life that will end any minute. -Can't you get surgery?

-Won't surgery save you? -Don't talk like you care.

Just tell me where!

-There's no more! -Tae-oh Ryu told me.

Someone like you treasures his own life.

So he told me to use it.

The four-leaf clover.

Where did you take the photo of it?

The four-leaf clover?

Eiffel's Office.

Wasn't that a meaningful location?

To be honest,

I don't even know where I'm going.

To me the signs look like...

Rock Town, Paper Town

and Scissors Town.

Moo-yeom Ha.

ILTAN

I wonder who won in rock, paper, scissors?

Moo-yeom.

Moo-yeom!

Stop. Moo-yeom Ha!

No. Stop!

Moo-yeom Ha!

No!

No!

I guess it won't be a lonely ride...

to the underworld.

Because I'm taking you with me.

Won-dang Arboretum.

What are you going to do with that knife?

I thought you weren't coming.

Here I am.

-So can you let her go? -Yes, to play rock, paper, scissors.

Start digging.

Wifey, you need to come and dig.

How many did he kill?

THREE YEARS AGO

Moo-yeom Ha.

You need to keep your promise.

You said if I told you, you would let me live.

Hurry and call an ambulance!

You won't die. Don't worry.

I need to tell you something before we start.

I heard that in the ninth case, both of you only chose rock.

But you suddenly...

changed to paper, right?

Keep that in mind.

-What? -How to win the game.

I want to see...

what will happen this time.

All right. Go.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors!

-I flew a camera drone there just in case. -What happened over there?

-Is Detective Ha okay? -Yes.

And Do-hyeok Cha confessed, so they found another body.

I should be treated first.

You're not treating me because I'm a criminal?

-It's not that... -Look.

-His injury is more serious. -He's going to die anyway.

His brain is dying.

-That little... -Detective Lee.

I'm going to sue you all.

Do you think I will let this go?

Treat me first. Give me blood transfusion now!

Give it to me!

That jerk. He's hit rock bottom.

-No one's dying. -I know.

People like him are the ones who live the longest and cause trouble.

I mean, I'm not dying.

It's not a delayed death.

Why would I die so young?

That's right.

There's no need to follow in his footsteps even though he's your master.

Yes.

I'm not dying,

so go and take care...

-of that beast over there first. -What?

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors!

This is no fun.

You know this is not what you're supposed to do.

You too, Ji-wool.

I gave you a tip on how to survive.

Shall we change the rule, then?

Before, we were playing to decide who would die first.

-This time, only one will survive. -Tae-oh Ryu, you're...

Please, stop.

No.

This is so much fun. How can I?

Okay.

Let's try it again.

Let's see if nothing will change if only one can survive.

Let's see if someone's going to change.

Rock.

Paper.

Scissors.

You lost.

Why on earth...

did you change to scissors?

Were you losing on purpose?

I don't understand.

She's not even your family.

Why did you throw her a lifeline?

Is it because of your friend Hye-jin?

Rock, paper, scissors!

When you almost died before...

When your friend died,

did you feel the same?

I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose. I just...

I know, Ji-wool.

-You do? -Yes.

Because I did that, too.

When I did this with Hye-jin, I wasn't trying to win.

I felt like I had to choose something else.

He said he'd kill us if we kept choosing rock.

Your altruism is very interesting.

Does conscience even matter in front of death?

Why is the reason you changed to paper...

-so important? -It's important...

because no one will die this time.

Tae-oh Ryu.

I have a favor to ask.

-Please say that I lost. -No.

Don't you have to hurry?

You need to commit the ninth murder before the police arrive.

-So kill me now... -Let me think of what I should do.

-Is your shoulder okay? -That's been dealt with.

The issue is prefrontal lobe hematoma.

HEMATOMA - CLOTTING OF BLOOD

Because he's overworked, the hematoma grew bigger.

If we do the surgery now, his speech ability might be affected.

Why don't we inject mannitol first to make the swelling subside?

A TYPE OF DRUG TO REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE BRAIN

That's good.

I have to go somewhere.

Do-hyeok Cha.

We don't have a signature from your family or guardian.

I don't have any.

We need it.

Moo-yeom.

Can you sign it?

My wife...

left the country.

Give it to me.

SURGERY CONSENT FORM

REPRESENTATIVE: MOO-YEOM HA

Get well and I'll see you in the interrogation room.

Did you know?

I was tricked...

-by Tae-oh Ryu. -Are you proud of that?

He gave me a tip.

He told me to shoot you in Gab-dong's personality.

I failed because you cornered me.

What tip did you give him?

-How to earn freedom. -Trading tips, what bullshit.

If you are still under the operation,

-just kill him. -Are you telling me to kill...

Gab-dong's copycat?

If you let him live,

he will get away with his crimes.

You got caught after committing the seventh murder in a plane.

If you kill someone again while everyone is watching,

that would be...

By the way, Ji-wool,

when is your hero coming?

I lost.

-So I... -Be quiet.

Remember when I called you Raskol.

You know that all of this is meaningless.

-Is this really fun? -Yes.

-It's fun. -But for me,

you don't seem to be having fun.

It's not too late.

If you stop now,

there is still a chance to be saved.

Do you think so too, Dr. Oh?

Why aren't you answering? You mean I can't be saved.

Yes.

-I received a release order. -Yes.

-What happened to Do-hyeok Cha? -He confessed to another crime.

I see.

-Moo-yeom did a good job. -After the ninth murder,

he didn't stop.

But we believed he did.

There were no more signatures...

-or evidence. -What if Tae-oh Ryu is trying...

to make us believe he stopped too?

I think I know...

why you lost.

To kill me.

-What do you mean? -I knew the minute...

you showed up here.

She came with the police.

I might...

get shot...

right here today.

But how come...

you never trusted me?

Why do you always just use me?

Didn't you ever feel sympathy for me, like that idiot?

I can't forget the first time I saw you.

I feel like it was a different person who washed our feet.

Not the one sitting here.

Which one is the real you?

Which one?

I'll still come visit after I'm released.

I'll bring your favorite coffee.

-Outpatients are welcome. -Promise?

Tae-oh, are you Gab-dong?

Whoever loses here will be...

the hunting dog that catches Gab-dong.

Your freedom is over, Tae-oh Ryu.

Dr. Oh, just stay for a few more minutes.

Do you have anything else to say?

Are you going to confess to your other crimes?

Do you want me to tell you how to avoid capital punishment?

Bite the neck of your hero.

I'm sorry, Tae-oh.

You're Gab-dong's copycat.

If I feel any sympathy for you,

then what about the people who died in your hands?

The women you killed are not the only ones you killed.

Their families and people who love them...

You ruined their lives too.

When you kill someone, hundreds suffer.

Then...

what do you think...

I should do?

I can't think of anything else...

besides getting on the death row...

or rotting in jail.

That warm Maria I saw...

I wonder who that was.

That girl who was at the scene of the ninth murder.

Where is the face of Jae-hee Kim...

who wanted to die...

because she won against her friend?

Jae-hee Kim...

died 17 years ago on that field.

The moment Hye-jin died in Gab-dong's hands,

the innocent soul of a 12-year-old died too.

Isn't it abnormal to expect her to be fine?

That's...

called harm.

That leaves a scar.

From now on, stop making excuses...

like affective disorder.

I will never let you go.

I won't let you kill another soul.

Can I ask you for one thing?

When it's time for me to die...

What is he doing? Does he think he's on a picnic?

What is he trying to show us?

Hey.

Hey.

You should be in bed.

You think all these people here can't save your girl?

I can't miss out on the legendary ninth murder.

If I want to take credit for it later, I should be present.

-What happened to the body? -Forensics is working on it.

By the way, Tae-oh Ryu...

He suddenly stopped.

Stopped?

He reenacted rock, paper, scissors, but he stopped after that,

and now they're just having a picnic on the grass.

-Gosh. -A picnic on the grass?

What do you mean?

You just wait and see.

If you let him live,

he will find a way to get away with his crimes.

Well, Do-hyeok Cha said something weird.

He said we should kill Tae-oh Ryu.

I think he tried to use Ryu to kill Dr. Oh,

but Tae-oh Ryu had other things in mind.

Reenact the ninth murder...

-and prove his mental disorder? -May I go in and end the situation?

Those two must be suffering right now.

You don't need...

to keep that promise.

You two are victims,

and I'm the perpetrator.

Sounds like Detective Ha.

Do you know why Gab-dong...

spared your life in the ninth case?

Because of the sound of young Mad Monk's Nunchucks?

That's actually not true.

-Then why? -I can't tell you yet.

Did Do-hyeok Cha tell you something?

You will find out soon.

You had me worried.

I thought you wouldn't show up.

-Thanks to you, I caught Gab-dong. -Congratulations.

Gab-dong told me to go and shoot you.

But you need to do more for me to shoot you.

I can't just shoot an animal that's not doing anything.

I guess I almost died.

I'm thankful that these two are still alive,

but what about you?

Why did you stop?

The game was meaningful enough. We had a good talk too.

Did you have a debate session?

-About humans and psychopaths? -Of course.

I learned that humans are more altruistic than I thought.

Today's practical lesson was very useful.

Let's go, Ji-wool.

Stop!

If you do anything stupid, I'll put a hole in your head.

That crazy bastard. What do we do?

Take him.

MISSING

It matches the facial reconstruction.

Run a DNA test with the family again.

Who won...

-in rock, paper, scissors? -Why did you want to kill Dr. Oh?

If you get stabbed...

on a random street,

you don't need to turn around to see who it is.

I will be standing there.

I was going to get rid of the person...

scarier than the Interpol.

You used a copycat to get rid of the witness.

But...

he tricked me.

My copycat...

bit off my own neck.

You guys won.

Are you happy that you won?

Do-hyeok Cha.

Do you even have...

a conscience?

Do-hyeok Cha tells me...

to try to live like a human.

But Gab-dong tells me...

it's more fun...

to live like a beast.

Do you want me to guess why you stopped...

before the ninth murder?

To prove your mental disorder.

If you weren't the hunting dog,

you would have died in my hands today.

-They've arrived. -They're here.

-Tae-oh Ryu, what was your motive? -How do you feel at the moment?

-Was it a copycat crime? -Over here, please.

-Please look over here. -How do you feel right now?

-Please say something. -Tae-oh Ryu!

Cha, a suspect in the former Iltan Serial Murder Case,

was arrested right before leaving the country.

Furthermore, Ryu, who attempted to reenact the ninth murder

with two women at the arboretum, was also arrested.

TAEHYUN INDUSTRIES

The trial has been postponed.

Why did he do that right before the trial?

Is he giving up?

He definitely had a desire to live.

I will have to meet him to find out what his intentions were.

What happened to his citizenship?

ABANDONMENT OF NATIONALITY

FOREIGN PASSPORT

What were you trying to do with your citizenship?

Aren't you aware of the amendment last year?

If I agree not to exercise my foreign citizenship,

I would be allowed to have multiple citizenships.

I kept my Korean citizenship because of my shares in Taehyun Industries.

But now I have no choice.

If I get sentenced to imprisonment as a foreigner,

I'll leave the country.

I'll abuse the law.

One abuses the statute of limitations,

and the other abuses citizenship law.

Why didn't you shoot me?

-You could have. -We don't feel ecstatic...

only when catching a suspect.

-Then what? -It's something...

people like you will never understand.

Just like I don't understand your complex mind.

Moo-yeom just called.

Both of them are safe.

He said not to worry too much.

Poor girl.

She went through this twice.

I must have sinned so much in my previous life.

I'm terribly sorry.

Ji-wool should have stayed away from him.

Goodness.

She's always meddling in other people's business.

I'm really sorry.

Please, let's not say these things to each other.

That she deserved it...

or she brought it upon herself.

These terrible things.

You're right. That's like killing the victim twice.

It's like asking victims of random crimes why they were on the street.

Get some rest.

Rock.

Paper.

Scissors.

Maria.

I used to wonder why people always...

pointed their fingers at me.

But now I see that I'm the problem.

Do you know what the hardest thing was...

after going through the ninth case?

People gossiping.

They said I deserved it because I ran away from home.

Maria.

It's just like turning away from an injured animal.

They just don't like pain and suffering.

They want to find a reason to avoid it.

Promise me...

that you won't hate those people.

But more than anything else, don't blame yourself...

for believing in someone.

Everything was hard to endure, and it drove me crazy...

so I became a psychiatrist.

But it's still hard...

to hate someone...

or to not blame myself.

It's still hard for me.

If it passes by without leaving any trace,

would that be a scar?

Or a knife?

It would just be the wind passing by.

It must have been hard for you.

You went through it twice.

-What will happen to Tae-oh Ryu? -Why?

-Are you worried that much? -It's not that...

Yes.

Maybe I'm worried.

Tae-oh asked...

-why I used him. -That kid.

He knows how to rub salt in the wound.

-You must have been sorry and hurt. -Yes.

It hurts... The things I've done.

Is there...

anything I should do?

I'm not sure.

It's human nature...

to give water even to a dying animal.

How did you do it?

-What? -How did you turn your scar into strength?

Yeon-yi,

what's Maria about to say this time?

What worries me the most...

is that I'll miss everyone.

When everything is over...

It was a pleasure...

-to be with you... -Yeon-yi.

Yeon-yi, you must be hungry. Shall we go eat something yummy?

Now that the statute of limitations has passed,

I'll tell you.

When your father passed away and you were out of your mind,

the doctor said you wouldn't live long.

He said 15 years maximum.

Do you understand that your time has been extended?

So don't be greedy.

Think of your remaining life as a bonus and live a good life.

Gab-dong, Who Is He? Gab-dong Arrested After 20 Years

Tenacity of Police on Gab-dong's Arrest Gab-dong Finally Arrested

Gab-dong's Crimes Continued After the Ninth Case

Wow, you must be so proud.

Do you want scissors? Why don't you make a scrapbook?

You should do the interrogation.

Why? You should do it. You risked your life to catch him.

If he says anything,

you would get a promotion.

I know you have something you want to ask him.

Isn't it funny that Gab-dong...

-is interrogating Gab-dong? -Right.

I was Gab-dong, too.

I became Gab-dong...

while trying to catch Gab-dong.

I bet my entire life on the name Gab-dong.

But I feel sad...

now that I have you sitting here.

Yes. We might all be crazy.

I was crazy about Gab-dong.

That crazy kid standing there outside...

He blames himself for his dad's death because he suspected his dad

and burned his dad's bloody jacket.

You must also have something that you can't say.

What does your bloody jacket mean to you?

It's not me. It really isn't me.

What are you so curious about?

I was born a psychopath.

I still am.

So let's see each other in court.

Don't you understand?

You guys...

are human beings with red blood,

and I am a beast with blue blood.

Let's just wrap it up like that.

Moo-yeom Ha found out something.

Your signature.

You faked your madness.

It's an interesting hypothesis.

Truth might be different from what is seen.

That's your motto.

So we went back further.

Mi-ja Choi's missing father.

There's a story behind that case.

-No, there isn't. -Your bloody jacket...

-If you tell us... -Why are you doing this?

I was a detective, too.

Reduced sentence on a serial killer?

I don't even dream of that.

A detective just needs to find evidence.

You found evidence.

So let's end it now.

The victim is Soon-jung Kim, who lived in Do-hyeok Cha's neighborhood.

We're trying to find other crimes near the hill where she was found

and the contact point between the victims and Do-hyeok Cha.

This is the fishing blog where Do-hyeok Cha and Tae-oh Ryu communicated.

Do-hyeok Cha deleted most of the posts, but the following comment...

MAKE THEM PLAY ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS

was recovered.

I really thought he wasn't Gab-dong.

I didn't ask you.

Gosh.

I'm cold.

I'm cold.

It's summer, but it's so cold.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Do-hyeok Cha.

Maria Oh.

Moo-yeom Ha, Ji-wool Ma.

Whatever you say, I will live.

I have to live.

I have to.

I have to live.

Here.

MAKE THEM PLAY ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS

This is why I need to be released.

I was ordered by the original Gab-dong.

Do-hyeok Cha...

put me in a situation where I couldn't escape

and forced me to commit the ninth murder.

Although I knew it was poison,

I had to take it because I was cornered.

There must be a reason why you guys are getting paid a lot.

After I gave you such a great excuse,

and you still can't get me out,

you guys are idiots.

The witnesses?

Exile is the ultimate goal, and Affluenza is...

just a short-term method.

We need to show that there are many allies of Mr. Ryu.

We want to develop a public opinion

that it's better to exile him.

TAE-OH RYU'S WITNESSES, PLEASE PROCEED TO THE THIRD FLOOR.

Let's go.

Everyone, please listen.

You need to testify exactly like you did before in court.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

-Number 130. Are you Dae-chi Kim? -Yes.

-You were his roommate? -Yes.

-How was his mental state? -He's crazy.

He said he'd give me 10 million won if I...

We can't accept his state of Affluenza.

Getting treatment leaves the chance of acquittal, so...

Even so, you will need to admit Do-hyeok Cha's instigation.

Either way, it's evident that he's mentally ill.

Wouldn't this be better than a long, boring battle?

We will discuss this again after Do-hyeok Cha's trial.

-And also consider public opinion. -Yes.

Maria wants to apologize to you...

for using you like that.

-She'd like to meet you... -I don't want her pity.

But why do you...

-take pity on me? -What?

-When did I pity you? -Always.

You always look at me like I'm your little brother in trouble...

with a pitying look.

-Gosh. -You think...

you could have become like me.

I knew when you played Russian roulette. You were...

lucky you stayed human.

Some cold medicine and eye drops, please.

Here's the cold medicine...

and the eye drops.

EYE DROPS COLD MEDICINE

THUD, THUD DIE. DIE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

AHH! SLAP

DID I RAISE YOU LIKE THIS? YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT!

Can we be forgiven?

For what? Why should we be forgiven?

You must also have something that you can't say.

What is your bloody jacket?

DECEMBER 24, 1993 DAY OF THE FIRST MURDER

I'm not going to...

show you my inner depths.

Do-hyeok Cha, do you know that today's your trial?

What's for breakfast?

COURT OF JUSTICE

How does that seat feel?

-It's uncomfortable. -At least you know...

what's uncomfortable.

The spring is poking me.

Defendant, please give your closing argument.

Defendant?

I only have...

one thing to say.

You didn't do anything...

for 20 years.

Do you have the right...

to judge me?

PROSECUTION

If I could live...

If I live...

The real criminal of the Iltan Serial Murder Case...

and the murderer of Soon-jung Kim, Do-hyeok Cha,

we sentence you to death.

Judge.

I'm sorry. Please give me one more chance.

I want to live. Please let me live.

Please. I want to live.

Just this once.

I'm sorry. Please spare my life.

Please. Spare my life.

I want to live. I want to live.

This is a gift from Moo-yeom Ha.

Killing him this way is so exciting.

So what? No one has been executed since 1997.

Why don't we have a life sentence without commutation?

People have already forgotten who Gab-dong is.

There is only one Gab-dong.

What message should I leave?

There is a beginning,

but there is no end.
