Original subtitles

(Episode 23)

KTX 738 from Busan bound to Seoul derailed...

and the wounded are currently sent to nearby Daejeon Hospital.

There were 387 people on board,

and we do not have the number of casualties yet.

- President Baek Gyeong Ah... - How did you know...

about the train accident?

Said the cause of the accident has not been confirmed yet.

Can I really go back in time?

Young.

Mom.

Goodness.

December 21, 2019...

at 11:11 p.m., she has passed away.

Young...

No. No!

No!

I thought I'd be able to save her if I reset.

But it's tormenting to watch Young die...

every single time.

There will come a day...

when Young will fully recover,

if you endure through time.

How?

Enjoy it. Enjoy your time.

You can enjoy watching people...

within that time that only you know.

Nothing is more fun than that.

These are...

the people I'm interested in.

("Incumbent Detective Arrested as a Serial Killer")

The culprit will run away soon,

and two more people will die.

If...

this person disappears...

If that's made possible,

what do you think will happen?

What if you bring back the 10 victims alive...

and reset together?

Are you acquainted with Ji Hyeong Ju?

I know a lot about you too, Mr. Oh Myung Chul.

And that you'll kill Detective Ji Hyeong Ju today.

But...

do you know what true revenge is?

It's way too easy...

to simply kill him.

True revenge is...

making him live in torment...

until the day he dies.

Everything has begun again.

It'll be an interesting year.

(Advisory Director Hwang No Sub)

What's this?

I was told to give you this when you two make a visit.

So he must have known that we would come to him.

(The clockwork of time disturbs the silent dawn.)

(The clockwork of time disturbs the silent dawn.)

Hey.

What?

Okay.

What's wrong?

Park Sun Ho escaped.

It's not over yet.

What happened?

The vehicle overturned while trying to dodge a motorcycle.

He got out and took the motorcycle.

He even took the weapon inside the vehicle.

- Where's Captain Heo? - He's in a meeting.

We need to wait until the RIU asks for our help.

Do you have any idea where he could be?

(The clockwork of time disturbs the silent dawn.)

Shin.

Don't you think...

it's time for us to prepare for the next reset?

You were always busy around this time of the year...

because of Young.

That's why...

I'm thinking of getting help from someone else.

Someone else?

I hope you'll be able to remember something now.

Do you still have the photo...

that Ms. Lee Shin gave you?

If you succeed,

come to Zian Clinic to meet with me.

- "Succeed"? - I'd like to offer you...

the one and only opportunity...

to wash away your sins.

I'm talking about the reset.

Who are you?

If you were to kill me right now,

keep in mind...

that you will never get to reset.

You'll understand everything soon.

We three will go through the next reset.

But sir...

("Pieces of Destiny")

(The clockwork of time disturbs the silent dawn.)

(Chapter 1, The Signal of Fate)

(Volume 9, Two Memories)

It's January 9.

That's two days before the reset.

One of us...

will die then.

And Park Sun Ho would still be at large.

Do you think they knew...

that he'd escape?

Yes, if this had happened before.

It's just like how they knew when we'd die.

Then why did he go to the cafe that day?

Do you think he went there to kill Professor Hwang?

If that's the case, he spared his life.

What if Professor Hwang offered a deal?

The reset?

If Mr. Park goes through with the reset,

he'll no longer be a serial killer...

who has run away.

I know Park Sun Ho was here.

Didn't you arrest him?

I was curious how you bought this place...

immediately after the reset.

It turned out the former director of Zian Clinic...

was an advisory director at Samo Pharmaceuticals.

I bet Prof. Hwang led and planned...

the experiment.

What's your role in all this?

Are you an accomplice?

Or his puppet?

I don't think you should be worried about me.

If Detective Park Sun Ho escaped,

aren't you and Ms. Shin Ga Hyeon...

in grave danger?

Yes, we know.

We can talk more about him back at the police station.

You are under arrest for concealing a criminal.

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

What are you doing?

It was such a large-scale case, so we received many tip-offs.

I suppose these aren't necessary.

(Temporarily closed due to personal reasons)

Have you given it some thought?

It's true that Mr. Park Sun Ho visited the clinic.

I didn't want to get involved, so I told him to leave immediately.

I have no idea where he went.

And there's no reason for him to have told me.

Then why are the CCTV footages from that day missing?

Maybe the cameras had an error.

- I don't do those things. - You're right.

Ms. Song does.

Professor Hwang was with you two, am I right?

That's why the footages were deleted, right?

You can take your time.

We can detain you for up to 48 hours.

Detective Ji.

I promise to come back for the next interrogation.

So please let me go.

I beg you.

Tell me where he went.

That's all I want to know.

I beg you as well.

My daughter...

will die tonight.

I need to be by her side.

So your plan is to make me stay here until January 11.

Is that right?

That's correct.

You need to arrive there safe and sound...

in order to go through the reset.

How did you find that place?

I was very desperate.

I wanted to die.

But when I woke up,

I found myself at this spot again.

I traveled back exactly a year back in time.

I can't imagine...

what that feels like.

You'll experience this yourself very soon.

I'm sure we'll be great partners.

Are you using your child now?

No, Detective Ji.

I mean it.

I ask of you, please.

Where is...

Park Sun Ho right now?

I really don't know.

Please believe me.

What about Professor Hwang?

You know where he is, don't you?

Isn't tonight the last day you'll spend with your child?

Yet you're still trying to defend Professor Hwang?

You don't know...

how to reset, do you?

That's why you're trying to protect him.

If something happens to him, you won't be able to reset either.

Even if your child dies,

all you have to do is reset.

Is that so?

You'll find a tiny medicine bottle in that box.

You need to...

administer the drug tonight.

Me?

What if something goes wrong?

All clinical tests...

come with side effects.

What do you mean?

Wait, will you do that to Young?

But why?

No, I can't do that even if I knew the reason.

I can't take things this far.

You will...

end up doing it,

because you always have.

(VIP Ward)

(VIP 2: Lee Young, female, 7 years old)

Ms. Song! What are you doing?

Over here. Is there anyone around?

She injected something into her body. Hurry!

Ms. Song!

Charge to 150 joules.

Charging to 150 joules.

Doctor, we're ready.

1, 2, 3.

Cleared. Shock.

Charge to 200 joules.

Charging to 200 joules.

You need to prepare yourself for the worst.

December 21, 2019...

at 11:11 p.m.,

she has passed away.

Is Young all right?

Are you sure she's okay?

Her vitals look stable.

She'll wake up soon when we give her a few more drugs.

Ms. Shin Ga Hyeon suddenly showed up.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

You better hide for a while.

I'll contact you again.

Hey, you're here.

Come in.

What brings you here?

You two are acquainted?

Young lived thanks to her.

What do you mean?

Thank you.

Did it always happen...

on the same day at the same time?

But this time, she lived,

although the fate of one's death was never supposed to change.

If I hadn't seen her,

your child would've died again.

And you would've believed that it was her fate.

Professor Hwang wouldn't have done that.

He's the one who always helped Young...

with those clinical tests.

Why would he do this?

He probably needed you to reset.

In order to make you reset time,

he needed the child to die.

Do you still have no idea...

who really had been...

making your child suffer?

In order to make you reset time,

he needed the child to die.

Do you still have no idea...

who really had been making your child suffer?

Was it all because of me?

Did you have to live through that much pain because of me?

Hyeong Ju.

Did you finish giving your testimony?

Yes.

I got Ms. Song on the wanted list.

I'm sure we'll hear about her soon.

Her child lived...

thanks to you.

She was never supposed to die.

I'm glad I got to save her like this.

How can he kill that little child...

six times?

Do you think Ms. Lee Shin...

began to understand how we felt?

How it feels to have someone else toy with our lives.

(January 1, KTX car 738, January 9, January 11, reset)

(January 9)

Come in, Ga Hyeon.

Take a seat.

Ms. Seo Yeon Soo died.

Died? I can't even believe...

that he committed suicide.

It must be a coincidence. They might be lines from poems...

or just common celebratory messages.

Do you think someone who knows everything...

thinks this is nothing but fun entertainment?

I was starting to get attached to you, Ga Hyeon.

I'm sorry things ended up like this.

"Attached" to me?

You lied about everything and put up an act.

Yet you were "attached"?

When you give this your best,

you end up forgetting that you're acting.

You were at Ms. So Hye In's flower shop...

on purpose, weren't you?

You're right.

That flower shop was the least dangerous place,

so I went there myself.

It's a pleasure...

to watch something that only I know unfolds...

at the time that only I know.

It was thrilling.

Why do you do this?

When you become my age,

most things don't seem that amusing.

Ever since I knew I could reset, I was never bored.

This reset was more special than ever.

I got to witness even the sound of your breaths...

right by your side.

So after you used Ms. Lee Shin as your front...

and watched everything unfold,

did you feel like you became a deity or something?

A deity?

No deity will tell you your fate before it happens.

I already told everyone about their fate.

You received the card.

Who do you think it'll be among those two?

About Detective Ji.

(Final Episode)

How did you know I was here?

Today is your daughter's death anniversary.

You and I have repeated...

the year several times now.

Were you...

really going to kill Young?

Did the professor order you to do it?

Is that so?

I'm sorry.

You know how much pain...

she suffered from better than anyone.

How could you do this to her?

How?

That was the only way for me to see my daughter too.

What did you say?

He promised to take me with him...

for the next reset.

But your daughter died three years ago.

You can only go back a year.

Did he leave that out to you?

All clinical tests...

come with side effects.

What do you mean?

Wait, will you do that to Young?

No, I can't do that even if I knew the reason.

I can't take things this far.

You will...

end up doing it,

because you always have.

(Ms. Song)

Have you been killing Young all this time?

Every single year?

Because you need me for the reset,

did you sacrifice my daughter?

I only did it for you, Shin.

For me?

How long do you think your daughter can live?

Just because she's alive now,

does it mean she'll last one more month or year?

Before she dies, do you think someone will develop the cure?

As a doctor, you know the answer better than anyone.

I didn't want you to make a difficult decision.

I didn't want you to rely on an uncertain future...

and be foolish enough to give up...

living the perfect year.

You should have at least given me a chance to decide.

About Detective Ji.

Aren't you curious about how he'll die?

You know, Samo Pharmaceuticals where Professor Hwang is working at?

I looked into it, and this company has a lot of problems.

It's about the clinical trial they conducted at the sanatorium.

They requested to develop a new drug with rigged data.

And there's a record that they were investigated by...

What's wrong? Did something happen?

No.

Something is up.

What about Ms. Song?

No. Not yet.

I see. Okay.

Just because she's alive now,

does it mean she'll last one more month or year?

Before she dies, do you think someone will develop the cure?

There are 13 days left until the reset.

This time, you'll decide.

You made the right decision.

I knew you'd make the right decision.

But under one condition.

Please keep Detective Park Sun Ho out of this.

He's too dangerous.

Of course.

I wasn't going to go through the reset with him, to begin with.

I was just playing along...

until Detective Ji was eliminated.

Right about now, he's probably...

preparing to take his role diligently.

Arrest warrant?

On what grounds?

On the grounds of attempted murder and instigation to murder.

Song Ji Hyun reported it to Seoul Makang Police Station.

I asked you to be a bit more patient.

I thought you'd be happy with my decision.

Isn't that why you told me the truth about Professor Hwang?

Back then...

Things have changed now.

The same goes for me.

I no longer have a reason to obey his orders.

An arrest warrant for Hwang No Sub has been issued.

That's a relief.

We can detain him for at least 48 hours.

We'll catch him before the reset and stop it.

We'd be able to put an end to this if Park Sun Ho is with him.

Professor Hwang said that Mujin was his hometown.

The resetting place was about two hours from Seoul.

Mujin is about that far as well.

Maybe they're hiding there.

Sa Kyung, did you receive any reports about Park Sun Ho...

being spotted in Mujin?

Hold on.

Yes, there was one.

But the CCTV footage was too poor...

to verify it.

And one more thing.

Can you check if Hwang No Sub lived in Mujin?

- Text me. - Okay.

I should go right now.

Right now?

We need to catch Park Sun Ho before tomorrow comes.

I'll tell Sa Kyung to come here just in case.

Don't go anywhere and stay at home.

Hyeong Ju.

About Detective Ji...

Aren't you curious about how he'll die?

He dies while trying to save you.

And it's extremely gruesome.

Will Hyeong Ju die because of me?

Is this true?

Will he die while trying to save me?

Where?

You must know.

Tell me.

I'm sorry.

You and Detective Ji are going to do everything...

in your power to stop Professor Hwang.

But you see, I need him.

Are you saying you'll go through the reset once again?

I've thought about it, and that's the right thing to do.

Once January 11th passes,

I won't be able to bring Young back to life anymore.

I decided to choose the safe path...

over the unseen future.

How do you know if that future will happen...

in a year or a decade?

You could be stopping her...

from turning 10 or even 20.

The fate of death...

can never be changed.

You're wrong.

It can be.

I'll show you.

If he dies while trying to save me,

then we just need to stay apart.

If that's what it takes,

I'll do it.

I'd like to report something.

I think I spotted Park Sun Ho, the escaped criminal, in Mujin.

Hyeong Ju.

Let's stay alive...

no matter what.

Of course.

(January 9, January 11 Reset)

(January 9)

We need to hurry.

If something happens to me, you won't be able to reset.

Don't forget that and make sure to do your job.

You two are acquainted?

Young lived thanks to her.

Will Hyeong Ju die because of me?

Is this true?

Will he die while trying to save me?

Where?

You must know. Tell me.

Why aren't you arresting Professor Hwang?

We're investigating. First, you should turn yourself in.

He's at Zian Clinic right now.

(Psychiatrist Lee Shin)

(Ji Hyeong Ju, Shin Ga Hyeon)

(Ji Hyeong Ju, 32 years old)

(Shin Ga Hyeon, 28 years old)

- Hello? - Get out of there right now.

What?

This is the first and the last time...

you'll be getting my help.

We're back here again, Professor Hwang No Sub.

I wonder if you knew everything that happened to us...

from the moment we first gathered here...

until now.

If everything was predictable,

that'd be boring.

Where is Park Sun Ho?

Fine by me. You can take your time.

I was going to detain you first anyway.

Why do you think there was only one card?

That's because you and Ga Hyeon...

died on the same day and at the same place.

She already knows this.

Did she not tell you?

What did you say?

Ga Hyeon.

Ji Hyeong Ju.

Touch her, and I'll kill you.

That all depends on your actions.

First, rip that arrest warrant.

And come here right now...

- if you want to save her. - Where are you?

Where am I?

I'm at your headquarters.

You know what will happen to her if you bring others with you, right?

- Hyeong Ju. - Ga Hyeon.

Don't be afraid. I'll be there soon.

I'm okay, so please don't come. Please.

Ga Hyeon. Ga Hyeon.

He still has the arrest warrant.

He wants you to rip that up...

if you want to save her.

Keep her alive for now.

I'm curious...

about how you two will end up.

You should hurry.

There's not much time until everything is over.

When he arrives, eliminate both of them without a trace.

That's your ticket to the reset.

The reset ticket.

Ga Hyeon.

Ga Hyeon.

(Detective Jin Sa Kyung)

Tell her that you're at your friend's house,

and not to worry about you. Then, send her back.

(Detective Jin Sa Kyung)

We should go to somewhere else.

Yes, Detective Jin.

Hyeong Ju, see you there.

Do you know...

how you two died in your previous life?

(I sent you the episode about Samson.)

(Please review it and send me your comments.)

(Please review it and send me your comments.)

(Detective Ji Hyeong Ju)

(Seoul Makang Police Station)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

You'll be connected to the voicemail box.

(Let's meet here. Don't tell anyone. Come alone.)

I wouldn't have run away if I was only going to kill you...

just because you caught me.

Let's leave Ga Hyeon out of this.

This webtoon artist, Maru,

is dying because of you.

Detective Ji.

Detective Ji.

Detective Ji?

Maru.

Do you know why Hyeong Ju went through...

the reset?

It was because Oh Myung Chul killed you.

To save you, he went through the reset.

I regretted like crazy...

that I came...

to save a scumbag like you.

If you cared about Hyeong Ju even for a bit,

turn yourself in now.

And stop this now.

Okay.

I know how deeply he cared about me.

So after I go through the reset,

I will be careful not to get caught.

Then, I might not kill you.

He's late.

He must be here about now.

You won't be able to kill Hyeong Ju.

I won't let you.

I can't kill?

The only person I couldn't kill was Professor Hwang.

And I'll kill that old man once I'm done with the reset.

As long as I put my mind to it,

I can kill anyone.

Did you get that?

Ga Hyeon. Ga Hyeon!

I...

Hyeong Ju.

Ga Hyeon.

Let go!

Ga Hyeon.

Hang in there.

The ambulance will be here soon.

Hyeong Ju.

The autograph...

I'm sorry...

for not signing your book.

I will...

sign it...

next time.

Ga Hyeon.

Hyeong Ju.

Our fate today will affect our fate tomorrow.

I'll make sure to catch the culprit,

so it doesn't come to that.

You're wrong.

It can be.

I'll show you.

Ga Hyeon truly changed your fate.

And I plan to do the same.

I must go through the reset.

I won't do it.

I decided to stay in the present.

I want to believe in the present my daughter has.

And I'm also curious...

about her future I've never seen before.

It's all thanks to you two.

I know I can't earn your forgiveness.

But I will remember...

all of my wrongdoings...

and plan to accept and face all of my punishment.

I must go back.

Another set of painful memories...

might be waiting for you there.

You may repeat the mistakes I have made too.

I don't care.

What do I need to do?

As you already guessed,

only the professor knows the way.

Are you sure there's no other way?

I only know the way up to the tunnel.

He told me that there's a forked road...

at the end of the tunnel.

One way leads to the reset.

And the other way...

leads to death.

Good luck, Detective Ji.

Our fate today will affect our fate tomorrow.

I don't think I have a friend like you.

A friend who's willing to travel back in time to save me.

I can at least make one friend who would before I die, right?

You have me. I'm on my way.

- Are you leaving now? - Yes.

- Are you sure you can go alone? - Of course.

How did you...

It didn't matter which road I took. They both gave me a chance...

as long as I wasn't afraid.

Mr. Hwang No Sub.

You're under arrest...

for violating Article 34 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act...

and committing an illegal activity...

regarding the approval of a plan for a clinical trial.

Do you think I'll be punished for something like this?

To get out on parole, you will rot in prison at least for a year...

no matter how hard you try.

It means you won't be able to do the reset.

You will never...

be able to play with other people's lives.

Mr. Park Sun Ho.

Hyeong Ju. How did you find me here?

You're under arrest for murdering Hwang Seok Man, Lieutenant Kim,

Kim Moon Hong, and Park Hyun Jae and abandoning their bodies.

You can hire an attorney, remain silent...

Stay there.

Don't come near me.

It's all over.

This is where the masterpiece was born.

Let's go, Maru.

Let's go. My gosh.

Excuse me. I'm sorry. Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Detective Ji.

Aren't you Detective Ji Hyeong Ju?

Can you...

recognize me?

Of course.

Really?

Aren't you the detective who caught...

the serial killer detective at Seoul Makang Police Station?

I saw you on the news.

By any chance,

are you the webtoon artist of "Hidden Killer"?

Do you know me?

You are her, right? I wasn't sure.

I had been waiting to get your autograph for a year,

but I couldn't get it in the end.

My autograph?

Well, yes. It's nothing.

Anyway,

it's nice to see you again.

I'll be looking forward to finding out who Samson is.

Good luck, Maru.

Detective Ji.

Can I...

consult you about my work?

If you keep your promise.

Pardon?

The autograph.

Of course.
