- Mi Jin! - For the first time,

my prediction changed.

Are you all right?

For the first time,

I met someone whose death I couldn't see.

For the first time,

my heart raced because of someone.

Is this an ill-fated relationship?

An ill-fated relationship?

What do you mean?

Why would Jo Pil Doo's DNA be there?

I don't know what kind of scumbag the culprit is,

but it all started from Jo Pil Doo,

so we ought to publish it.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you trying to kill Mi Jin?

Jo Pil Doo wasn't the culprit.

Let go of me.

- Jo Pil Doo. Did you kill her? - Let me go!

Let go of me!

He didn't kill these girls.

This is what he wanted.

Seeing the truth with my own eyes.

Mi Jin's death...

changed again.

The time of death changed from 7:00pm to 4:00pm.

If that was today...

- Take the files. - Yes.

Wait.

Yes?

This is Detective Seo Joon Young.

Please check on Mi Jin.

Okay.

Mi Jin.

Doctor!

No.

Move aside. Mi Jin.

Mi Jin! Wake up.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin.

- Mi Jin. - No.

Mi Jin.

Hello?

- Mi Jin... - Mi Jin!

We have an emergency. Report to Room 307.

Call the doctor. Get the doctor!

Hello?

Hurry.

Okay.

How's Mi Jin?

I think...

Lee Mi Jin is dead.

Seal off the hospital now.

- Pardon? - The culprit is probably...

still in the hospital.

Can you describe how the culprit looked again?

A male in his mid-30s, who's over 180cm tall.

He dressed as a medical staff and contacted her.

He had white sneakers on,

and there should be a wound right above his left arm.

One second.

He may have changed into normal clothes already.

Make sure you catch him before he gets out.

He's the culprit?

Yes.

Why? Do you know him?

Yes.

But he's...

How do you know him?

He's a medical examiner of National Forensic Service.

You said you'll protect her.

You said you'll guard her!

What... What did you do while she was getting killed?

What were you doing?

I'm sorry.

ID, please.

You saw it yesterday. I'm a medical examiner.

I heard there was a murder.

You still can't pass without an ID.

My Mi Jin.

Mi Jin...

Please bring her back.

Sir.

My Mi Jin...

- Hello? - This is Detective Seo Joon Young.

What is it? I can't believe you called.

Where are you?

At a hospital.

At a hospital?

Are you on the third floor of Joongang Hospital?

Yes.

How did you know?

Wait there. I'm coming up.

You said you'll protect her!

You said you'll protect her.

Bring her back. Bring Mi Jin back!

Bring her back.

(Episode 9)

Since when did you know him?

It hasn't been long since we got acquainted.

He's the medical examiner who did Oh Sung Min's postmortem.

We'll find out if he's really the culprit...

when we meet him.

Please come.

- Is this the lounge? - Yes.

You're here.

Let me introduce him.

He's Kim Tae Pyung, the man I mentioned before.

Put the knife down!

Let him go and come down from there.

Do you think you'll be any different?

Try losing someone...

you deem the most precious.

Then you'll know.

You'll never find...

Seo Joon Young.

How did I forget...

about you?

Seo Joon Young.

Will she die...

because...

of me?

After seeing him,

I finally regained the memory I had lost 20 years ago.

(The Game: Towards Zero)

When I look at someone's eyes,

I can see the moment right before their death.

That's why...

I witness my death every day.

Where in the world am I?

And...

why will I die in this unknown place?

Why am I crying?

I wanted to know the reason why I was crying.

I wanted to know why I was going to die there.

Joon Young!

The tide will rise soon! Come on, let's go!

Dad!

All right.

One minute.

Joon Young, should we build a house here?

- Really? - Yes.

But you're always so busy.

Once I'm not busy as much,

let's build a house here where there are no bad guys.

Why? I thought the beach was Mom's favorite place.

Whenever I'm here,

it feels like Mom's here with me.

All right, Joon Young. Here we go!

Hold on.

Hello?

Yes.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Joon Young, let's go! Let's go!

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Wake up.

Sir.

I came to ask you a question.

Sir.

Sir...

We've stopped the bleeding.

I think he'll need stitches.

Get it ready this instant.

- Okay. - Okay.

Hey, kid.

Are you hurt anywhere?

What's your name? Were you the one who called us?

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Once we received the call and went there,

he was the only one present.

How did you get in there?

I don't think he's Korean. Look.

Jason, can you speak Korean?

Where are your parents?

You didn't come to Korea alone, did you?

Were you the one who called us?

Hey, kid!

Doctor! Doctor!

[VIU Ver] MBC E09 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Tae Pyung's Old Memory" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Joon Young.

I'm sorry. We were having a fun time. Did you wait for long?

How's the candy? Do you want another one?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Dad. - Yes?

What happened to that girl you saved?

Well...

Let's go home first.

I need to work again. Let's go.

- Dad, hold on. - Okay.

Let's go.

Are you...

finally awake?

You saved me.

I heard you're from the States.

Your parents weren't aware...

that you were here.

Why did you come...

all the way here to see me?

Why did you try to kill yourself?

You knew you wouldn't die.

You could see your own death,

so you already knew, didn't you?

You can also see...

people's deaths.

- Yes. - By the way,

what do you want to know?

I thought you would know.

I see deaths every day.

I can see how...

my mom,

my dad,

and my friends will die.

But I'm not sure if I should tell them.

If I tell them,

they might be sad.

A poet once said...

knowing when you will die...

is the most painful.

However, not knowing certain deaths...

can make us...

feel sadder.

I guess she passed away in an accident.

Honey.

Honey...

Honey.

Were you in the accident together?

That day,

I proposed to her.

It was the happiest day of my life.

You must have loved her a lot.

Just looking at her made me happy.

By the way,

what did you like about me?

When I'm with you,

it makes me feel as if I'm normal, so I like that.

You're the only person whose death I cannot see.

I should have known.

If I had known, I could have stopped it.

She died because of me.

What does it mean that she died because of you?

If you can stop it,

does it mean you can change people's deaths?

You should have caught him.

You should have stopped him!

Had you people done your job,

- my kid wouldn't have died. - Calm down.

How did that jerk find out which room she was staying?

- My goodness. - How?

Bring her back! Bring her back!

- Please let go of him. - You said you'd stop him!

How did that jerk find where the victim was?

Was the information leaked from inside?

How did he find which room the victim was in?

- Please calm down. - This makes no sense.

Exactly.

- Please let go of him. - You said you'd catch him.

- Calm down, please. - Gosh.

You said you would keep my girl safe.

- You bring him to me! - Calm down.

You said you'd catch that jerk!

Okay. Thanks.

At the scene,

we found the girl's ID.

This guy's fingerprints were on it.

(Background Check)

Jo Pil Doo, this jerk, is the killer.

Hey, locate him right now.

Yes, sir.

Great.

Stop right there!

You jerk.

Stop!

Jo Pil Doo, freeze!

Stop!

Hey, stop right there!

Hey, you'll end up coming down anyway.

Why do you keep climbing up the stairs?

Come here!

- Come here. - I didn't do it!

I picked it up, so I could give it to the girl's mother.

- Let's go down! - Darn it!

Dong Chul!

You scumbag!

You scumbag!

You scumbag!

Come here. Why did you do it?

Why did you do that?

I didn't do it.

- Why did you do it? - I didn't...

I didn't do it!

What?

- It was an accident. - You scumbag.

Why? Why did you do it?

("A Detective Falls and Dies While Arresting Jo Pil Doo")

("With Nine Fractured Ribs, He Bled to Death")

"The victim had nine rib fractures."

"Both of his ankles and his pelvis..."

"were mangled beyond recognition."

You haven't found the burial sites for the other six victims.

- Stop it. - Wait.

Did you set a date for Jo Pil Doo's crime scene examination?

- Come on. Just tell me. - That's enough.

That's enough!

Detective Nam, I'm a reporter.

I'm doing this for the sake of the public's right to know.

You jerk!

How is publishing a photo of a detective...

who died on duty qualify as the public's right to know?

Tell me your idea of the public's right to know!

You're going too far! Seriously.

Joon Young is here.

Joon Young.

("A Detective Falls and Dies While Arresting Jo Pil Doo")

Get out.

Get out of here. Leave now.

Leave. I told you to leave! Beat it!

Get out.

Get out, will you?

- There he is. - Here it is.

- My goodness. - Here he comes.

Oh, goodness.

(Police)

- His dad killed her. - What?

- You scumbag! - That piece of trash.

- You deserve to die! - You should just die!

- You piece of trash. - You're a monster!

- Did he really kill them? - Dad.

- You scumbag. - Move back.

- How could you do that? - How dare you!

- Why did you do it? - You can't be called a human being!

- Move back, please. - Come over here.

Dad!

- My gosh, you murderer! - You're a monster!

- Hey, you piece of trash! - How could you kill her?

- You murderer! - You scumbag!

- He's unbelievable! - How could you kill those girls?

So you were here.

What did you do next?

- What? - What did you do to her?

Do it now.

- How could you do that to a girl? - Did he just kick her?

- He's a monster. - You jerk!

You scumbag!

- Monster! - Murderer!

Get him out of here.

- Lock him up now! - My goodness.

- Murderer! - You deserve to die!

All right. What did you do with this?

Here.

Do what you did with it.

Do exactly what you did!

What did you do with it?

- How could he do that? - Dad.

- Goodness. - You murderer!

- He put it in the coffin. - You're not a human!

- How could he do that? - Hyun Woo.

- He's not a human. He's a monster! - Get him out!

- Take him back. - Yes, sir.

- You murderer! - You deserve to die.

Did you find Jo Pil Doo's DNA from the crime scene?

- When will he be transferred? - Detectives!

Will the case be closed?

- Move out of my way! - You murderer!

- There he comes. - He's here.

He's coming.

Mr. Jo, why did you kill the girls?

- Mr. Jo! - What was your motive?

- Move. - Mr. Jo, answer our questions.

- How did the examination go? - Out of my way. Move!

- Hold on! - Mr. Jo!

- Mr. Jo! - Take off his mask.

- Yes, sir. - What was your motive?

Protect his rights, my foot.

Joon Young.

Why did you...

kill my dad?

I'm sorry.

Go inside.

Yes, sir. Come.

Hyun Woo? Hyun Woo.

Hyun Woo. Aren't you Jo Hyun Woo?

- There's his son! - Hyun Woo.

Did your dad ever show any odd behaviors?

- Hyun Woo. - Hyun Woo, look over here.

- Look over here. - Hyun Woo!

- Hyun Woo, any words? - Anything you want to say?

- Hyun Woo! - Hyun Woo!

(Episode 10 will air shortly.)

- Come out! - Hey, come out!

- Come out! - I know you're in there!

- Hey, come out! - Come out!

- What do you think you're doing? - Open this door!

- Open the door! - Come out!

- Open this! - Open this door!

- Open the door! - Open it!

- I know you're in there! - Open this door!

- Come out! - Come out here!

Come out!

- I said, come out! - What are you doing?

- Come out here! - Come out!

No, don't go out there.

Don't.

I'll go.

- You stay here. Don't come out. - Come out here!

- Open the door! - Open it!

- Hey! Come out! - Open this door!

- Open the door! - Open it!

- Open the door! - Come out!

- Come out already! - Come out!

Darn you!

You knew, didn't you?

You knew your husband had been killing those girls!

- How can she not know? - He killed seven girls.

How can you not know?

We didn't know! We had no idea!

- What's with him? - Like father, like son.

- You knew too, didn't you? - You both knew!

- How can you let him do that? - You already knew it!

- He killed seven girls! - How can you have no idea?

- Why did you let him go on? - You're at fault too!

- You knew! - How can you let him do that?

- Get out of here! - Isn't that right?

My gosh, what is this?

What if they barge into our home after coming to our restaurant?

They have nowhere to go. What can I do?

Are you proud to be a murderer's relative?

My gosh. Tell them to leave.

We're victims too.

Gosh, darn it.

My gosh.

What is this mess? Goodness.

My gosh. Unbelievable. What is this?

I got some bread and milk.

Hyun Woo, I have to use the restroom.

Make sure you keep this well.

(East Seoul to Asan, Onyang)

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

You haven't reached his guardian yet?

Did they abandon him? No one ever called.

- I'm going out to take a round. - See you.

Hello.

Hi.

("Jo Pil Doo Is Sent to Hope Orphanage")

Hyun Woo.

Hello.

You read it.

I can't believe this happened.

Due to the administrative procedure,

that girl has no choice but to spend the night here.

I'm not trying to hide you,

- but in case the reporters come... - I'll be fine.

Spend the night at my place.

I'll go once I'm done.

How old are you?

What's your name?

Where are you from?

My name is Joon Young.

I'm 10 years old.

Joon Young. That's your name, right?

Yes.

All right. How old are you?

I'm 10.

10? Goodness, you're such a smart girl.

You look so pretty.

Thank you.

My pleasure. Eat up.

Eat as much as you want.

Goodness, you're so bright.

Green light, red light.

Green light, red light.

Hi. Did I startle you?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

My name is Jun Hee.

Hey. Hey. You punk!

Hey! Give that back!

Hey.

Stop it.

Stop what?

Let me breathe, will you?

You're...

very selfish.

Do you want to live a relaxed life?

Do you?

Your dad killed seven girls.

And one of them was around your age.

And about that girl back there...

Her dad fell to his death while chasing your dad.

He had nine rib fractures.

And yet, you want to breathe a bit better?

Are you okay?

What?

Yes.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

What's your name?

What is it?

I don't have one.

I guess you don't have them either.

A mom and a dad.

Mine are gone as well.

Here.

It's good. Try it.

Hello.

Hello, Mother Superior.

Hello.

Have you been well?

It's all thanks to you. What about you?

I've been doing well as well.

I see.

You seem quite timid.

What is it? Do you have something to say?

You must be very ill.

How did you know?

I saw you passing away at a hospital.

Didn't he tell you?

No.

He started coming here only after he had lost his sight,

so he couldn't see me.

So you can see death as well.

Yes.

Lord.

Is the world evil?

Or are you just cruel?

Lord.

Why?

Why did you curse him with such power?

It's good.

- Is the candy delicious? - Yes.

Joon Young.

Mister.

I wished I could've avoided this fate.

I tried everything in my power...

to avoid this fate.

Lord.

What am I to do?

[VIU Ver] MBC E10 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Do Kyung is Arrested" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I heard you can see people's deaths.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I heard you can see it when you look into their eyes.

Am I wrong?

Come here!

Just listen to me!

Come on!

Hey, come here!

- I'm going to leave. - Hey.

- Why? - Come here.

Do it.

- Tell me how he dies. - I'm going to leave.

- Come on, we're friends. - I want to leave.

Tell us. I thought you could see it.

- How does he die? - Look at him.

- I want to leave. - Just look at him once.

I think he saw it.

He saw it. He did.

Why do you look at me like that?

How in the world...

do I die that...

you would look at me like that?

You'll kill yourself...

in front of police officers.

You'll fall and die.

You will.

Really? Is that true?

Is that really true?

I guess so.

- He's indeed a son of a murderer. - I knew it.

I knew it'd be nasty!

You were born with such a life!

Fates are predetermined.

- You're born with it. - He's the son of a murderer.

Son of a murderer.

That was hilarious. Hey, don't make me laugh.

Good for you!

It felt...

as if my foresight has come back as a curse.

What would have happened...

if I didn't tell him about his death?

We met again...

after 20 years.

I'm Goo Do Kyung.

I heard you have quite the power.

Mr. Goo,

you're under emergency arrest for Lee Mi Jin's murder.

- Pardon? - You can hire an attorney...

and will have a chance to exonerate yourself.

And you can file an appeal to claim it was an illegal arrest.

Come with me.

I think you have been mistaken, Ms. Seo.

Is that what he told you?

That I'm the culprit?

Try losing someone you deem the most precious.

You'll never find Seo Joon Young.

What is it that you want? What is it?

- Mr. Kim! - Tell me.

- Tell me! - Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim, please calm down.

- Tell me! - Mr. Kim.

This is the composite sketch Kim Tae Pyung worked on?

Yes. There's a man named Goo Do Kyung.

He's a medical examiner at the National Forensic Service.

- Medical examiner? - Yes.

He was the medical examiner who did the autopsy for Oh Sung Min.

What about the security footage?

We got them all and are checking now.

And...

it will be difficult for us to seal off the hospital longer.

What should we do?

Ask him to cooperate.

Get his DNA and send him home.

Yes, sir.

One more thing.

Yes?

Until we have definite evidence,

don't let the press find out Goo Do Kyung is a suspect.

Yes, sir.

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin!

Mi Jin. Wake up.

Are you all right?

Thank you.

The time of death...

changed from 7:00pm to 4:00pm.

What's wrong?

Did you see something...

in his death?

No matter how much I look,

your death is the only one I can't see.

It makes me wonder...

if I can't see her death because she dies because of me.

You'll never find...

Seo Joon Young.

No.

It can't be.

Are you all right?

Joon Young, give us a moment.

Yes, sir.

You seemed pretty worked up earlier.

May I ask you why?

Did you see something in his death?

Yes. Okay. Wait a bit longer.

I'm almost there.

I told you...

that he will kill himself after being surrounded by the police.

Are you certain that this guy is the culprit?

Do you not believe me?

Or must I prove to you more?

Had you not been against drawing up a composite sketch...

and had the police officers known the culprit's face,

Mi Jin would have lived.

I can't pinpoint...

none other than,

a medical examiner from the National Forensic Service...

just based on your words.

Then, find the evidence.

There must be...

his DNA underneath Mi Jin's fingernail.

Even when Mi Jin was dying,

she tried to see who the culprit was.

That's how I was able to see his face.

The culprit who killed Mi Jin...

is that guy, Goo Do Kyung.

So you cannot...

let him get away.

I'll call you.

I heard that you had a suspect in custody.

Who is he?

I cannot give you answers right now.

I know it's hard, but please hang in there a bit longer.

- Did you see the news this morning? - Let's go.

- I can't believe this. - She's dead.

- How could this be? - My goodness.

This is odd.

See if there's breaking news.

- My goodness. - Poor girl.

- Unbelievable. - How can this be?

- My goodness. - Is this real?

Why? What is it?

- I can't believe it. - That poor girl.

Mi Jin is dead.

Dead? Why would she die?

("Ms. Lee, the Victim of Jo Pil Doo's Copycat Crime,")

("Dies in Hospital")

Do you think the culprit was provoked with the article we wrote?

She died in less than a day after the article was published.

It's not like Jo Pil Doo's really behind this case,

but we wrote the article as if that's the case,

- so the culprit may be... - Are you insane?

How do you know if Jo Pil Doo is behind this or not?

Can you be 100 percent sure?

And I only published that because Mr. Lee told me to.

So keep your mouth shut. Okay?

- It makes no sense. - It doesn't.

(National Forensic Service)

This is absurd.

It's already weird enough that someone can see others' death,

and you now trust what he says and accuse me of murder?

I guess you don't remember because it has been too long.

Mr. Kim Tae Pyung said he saw you...

at Hope Orphanage 20 years ago.

I heard he predicted your death.

He said you'll commit suicide in front of police officers.

But that's not going to happen.

I'm going to lock you up in jail for murdering Mi Jin.

That's called a targeted investigation.

Don't worry.

I won't lock up an innocent man in prison.

Please leave.

Do you think people at the National Forensic Service...

are still in the office?

Yes, I already called them.

- Please take care of that. - Don't worry.

Bong Soo, stay here and call me immediately...

if you find anything on the security footage.

- Kang Jae, you're coming with me. - Yes.

All right, everyone. Hurry up.

- Yes. - Let's go.

(National Forensic Service)

Hello. This is for someone under emergency arrest.

- Can you run this quickly? - I'll do that.

Wait. Can you rewind this for about 15 seconds?

Please stop right there.

Height, 180cm, in his mid-30s.

Wait, can you zoom in on his sneakers?

Those don't seem like the right sneakers.

Right here.

I need your fingerprint.

If he was arrested without a warrant,

the arrest needs to be approved by a prosecutor within 12 hours.

- Within 12 hours? - If it's not approved,

they have to let him go. It's 7pm right now.

- We have nine hours. - Yes.

Can you find out a bit more about Goo Do Kyung?

And ask if anyone knows him at Hope Orphanage.

Yes, okay.

You were here?

Do you even care if I'm around or not?

Why did you do that?

You knew everything. Why didn't you say anything?

You already knew why I couldn't see Ms. Seo's death.

No?

I'm asking you.

That's why I told you...

that you two are...

in an ill-fated relationship.

You two like one another, but you can never be together.

Then it has to be an ill-fated relationship.

You can't see her death...

because you cause...

her death.

That woman, Seo Joon Young,

will die because of you.

(The Game: Towards Zero)

What did you do? What were you doing?

I won't let him live.

Medical team. Medical team!

Ms. Seo, don't you want to know how you'll die?

I don't care how I'll die.

So even if you can see my death, don't tell me.

I can't see it. Your death is the only one I can't see.

You need to stop here.

Then at the very least,

you can avoid causing her death.

No, I'm sure it can be stopped.
