Original subtitles

But it must be also frightening...

that you cannot see my death.

It must be really scary to know...

that I'll die because of you.

I thought about how you might die...

because of me.

It looked like he definitely had feelings for you.

I needed to know why he was trying to kill you.

Watching you was enough to make me happy.

It felt as if you comforted me.

It felt like...

(Civil Service ID Card)

you were telling me to live, not die.

If I erase my true self completely...

and stand before you as Goo Do Kyung,

wouldn't I be able to see you more closely?

I began to covet that dream.

Don't get delusional and think that you have it all.

If I can't have it,

you can't have it either.

- Never. - You're the one...

who should stop thinking that you know everything.

I once asked you...

for what you wanted, didn't I?

I needed to be sure...

of the reason to kill you...

and the reason I should die.

And I finally get it.

You will die...

because I love you.

What are you talking about?

- What is this? - You said...

you killed him to live, didn't you?

But I'll kill to protect.

You're just a murderer...

who can't stop killing people.

That's why you'll die.

Is Seo Joon Young...

the one you want to protect?

Do I end up killing her?

Die.

Just die!

Tae Pyung.

That's enough. Please.

Tae Pyung, please stop.

Please.

(The Game: Towards Zero)

Please fill out your personal information,

and you can pay the amount at the administration.

Yes.

It can't be true.

I'll end up killing her?

What do you want to do?

If you want to report him,

I'll go to the police station with you.

You have great work ethics.

Of course, I do. I'm a detective.

And if you lurk around in front of my house once again,

I'll report you as a stalker, so remember that.

I don't know if this is your way of showing me pity,

but you're nothing more than a stalker in my eyes.

Haven't you just heard?

She doesn't like this.

You can go out first.

It's okay.

This is my last warning.

Turn yourself in.

I'll take you home. Hop in.

May I...

stay at your place tonight?

- What? - No?

Well.

You can but...

You'll feel less anxious if I'm by your side.

There's a bed in Mr. Baek's room.

Would you like to sleep in my room?

It's okay. I can sleep on that couch.

No. Still...

You need clothes, right?

Right.

Wait.

Do you want comfortable clothes?

- Sure. - Right.

Hold on.

I can't make her wear this. Darn it.

What should I do?

Darn it.

I think this one is nice. No, it's not.

That's the necklace I'm holding during my death.

Every time I saw myself in the mirror,

that necklace was in my hand.

Does he witness his death through this mirror every day?

Joon Young.

Yes?

I placed the clothes in front of the door.

You can change into them.

Okay. Thanks.

Okay.

It suits you.

- Really? - Yes.

I think it's better for you to sleep here...

than on the couch.

I'll sleep here once we start sharing the same bed.

- What? - So just sleep here...

before I change my mind.

Goodnight.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Did you sleep well?

I thought you'd be uncomfortable, so I moved you to the bedroom.

Make sure to eat before you leave.

I was wondering whose car was outside.

Oh, right.

Tae Pyung must've left already.

His car isn't here.

I guess so.

- It's not what you think. - It's not what you think.

I came to hand these documents regarding the inheritance.

I need to hurry and go to work.

Go on, then. Goodbye.

(The grave of Baek Seong Woon)

Mr. Baek.

I think of something dangerous every day.

But I'm in a dilemma whether to do it...

or not.

Will I be able to protect the people?

Will I be able to protect Joon Young?

I'd like to ask you in my dreams.

Mr. Baek, what should I do?

Lee Jun Hee was reported missing.

The license plate number is 22G 9821.

We found the car at the cemetery park.

The license plate number is 22G 9821.

His phone was turned off around here.

What if something really happened to him?

But why here?

- What? - This isn't where Mi Jin's ashes...

or Jo Pil Doo's remains were found.

So why here?

- Someone had died. - What?

The entire Crime Division One was dispatched.

It was a suicide case.

And the entire team was dispatched?

Mr. Lee also said that and doubted it was suicide.

Then he told me to look into Goo Do Kyung.

Did you find out the identity of the deceased?

Yes.

His name is Baek Seong Woon. Goo Do Kyung performed the autopsy.

[VIU Ver] MBC E21 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Turn Yourself In" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I thought you'd come in the afternoon.

Here.

- You're here early. - I know.

By the way,

about breakfast...

I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and couldn't eat it.

That's fine.

I said no!

I'm not here to interview. I just want to see Det. Seo.

She's not here!

Then at least let me meet your team leader.

- What are you doing? - This is urgent.

- Team Leader Han! - That's enough.

- Det. Seo! - Leave.

Are you telling me that Lee Jun Hee's missing?

Yes. Mr. Lee was digging into Goo Do Kyung,

so I couldn't tell.

I think it's related to Baek Seong Woon's death.

Do you know anything about that?

How do you know about his death?

On the day of his death,

Mr. Lee doubted that it was suicide.

He told me to look into Goo Do Kyung...

and his relationship with Jo Hyun Woo.

He must've been followed.

Mr. Lee asked her to look into it since he didn't know...

that Goo Do Kyung and Jo Hyun Woo were the same person.

Are you saying that Jo Hyun Woo killed Baek Seong Woon?

We're still investigating, so we can't tell you the details.

What do you mean?

If he abducted Mr. Lee...

If he abducted him, then Mr. Lee could be in danger.

We'll do our best to locate him as soon as possible.

Please have trust in us and be patient.

Kang Jae.

We'll write the written testimony in the interrogation room.

Let's go.

Let's go.

(Lee Jun Hee)

How does Lee Jun Hee die?

You saw his photo on the news.

- Is he... - No.

He's alive.

Perhaps, Mr. Lee...

might be locked up in the house with Kim Hyung Soo.

In the house?

Are you talking about Jo Hyun Woo's house?

Actually,

Jo Hyun Woo came to Joon Young's house yesterday.

Joon Young's house?

Yes. The reporters are camping outside his house.

I wondered how he got away without getting noticed.

And I found a small side door at his house.

He could have used that door...

when he hid Kim Hyung Soo.

He might have thought it's the safest place...

since we raided it once before.

I don't think we can raid the place without a warrant.

What should we do?

Who is it?

It's Jo Hyun Woo.

(Medical Examiner Goo Do Kyung)

Hello?

You must be busy.

You answered my call late.

What is this about?

I'll turn myself in.

Wait for me. I'm on my way now.

Jo Hyun Woo...

is on his way here to turn himself in.

(Jo Hyun Woo)

It's Goo Do Kyung.

- Mr. Goo. - Please answer my question.

- Would you like to say a comment? - Please answer it.

- Anything for the people? - Please answer our questions.

- Just a comment. - Mr. Goo!

- Please answer my question. - Mr. Goo, wait!

- Please tell us the truth. - Is that really true?

- Mr. Goo! - Just a comment!

Jo Hyun Woo is on his way here to turn himself in.

What? Turn himself in?

Really?

Yes.

My gosh. That guy is a hard one to read. Goodness.

- Thank you. - Han Kyu.

Was that published just now?

("A Former Medical Examiner Is Planning to Turn Himself In")

Did you know?

Breaking news. A former medical examiner, Goo,

was arrested without a warrant for the murder of Lee Mi Jin.

He shared with the police that he will turn himself in.

Goo, who was released due to the lack of evidence,

turned out to be friends with the serial killer,

Jo Pil Doo's son from the orphanage.

And the suspicion grew.

On top of that, the detective in charge recently...

announced that Jo Pil Doo had been framed.

And this may have caused him to turn himself in.

Joon Young.

Did you just watch the breaking news?

I just heard.

So Jo Hyun Woo is going to turn himself in.

Yes. He's on his way here.

- There he is. - It's him.

- Stop it. - Hold on.

- Don't push. - Mr. Goo.

- Mr. Goo. - Do you admit the charges?

- Do you admit the charges? - Mr. Goo.

- Just a comment! - Don't push.

- Mr. Goo, answer our questions. - Is that true?

- Don't push me! - Move out of the way.

- Just a word! - Do you have anything to say?

- Say something. - Do you admit the charges?

- Move back! - Mr. Goo!

- Are you giving up now? - Move out of my way.

- Mr. Goo, do you admit the charges? - Hold on a second!

- Come on. We almost had him. - Move back!

- All right. - Come on.

Han Kyu, did you take photos?

What?

You didn't take any photos?

Gosh.

Take a seat.

What happened to your hand?

Jo Hyun Woo is really here to confess, right?

Chief Yang.

What should we do?

He said he would only talk to Tae Pyung.

Who said he could do that?

Darn it.

Finding evidence is our first priority.

We should comply with his demand.

Sure. Let's do that.

Hey, Tae Pyung. Come over here.

Hurry up.

You can help us, right?

- Yes. - Let's go.

You'll see a recording button under the table.

When you go in, press the button,

so we can hear you.

Okay.

I'm curious I still commit suicide in front of cops.

If you admit all of your crimes...

you have committed so far and pay for your crimes,

your death will change too.

Let's begin.

Is your name Goo Do Kyung?

No.

I thought everyone knew...

that I'm Jo Hyun Woo.

I'll cut to the chase.

Did you kill Goo Do Kyung?

Yes.

What about Mi Jin?

Yes.

I killed her.

Did you murder...

Mr. Baek Seong Woon?

Yes.

I also brought evidence for that.

It wasn't easy to find the evidence, but you threw it out.

- Kang Jae. - Yes?

Go in and get the flash drive.

Okay.

- Check it. - Okay.

Now, you answer me.

Just like you wanted, I turned myself in...

and I'll pay for my crimes too.

So...

did my death change?

Can you see...

that I no longer kill Seo Joon Young?

That startled me.

Why?

Her death hasn't changed?

No.

It changed.

You'll die in prison.

So live the rest of your life there atoning for all of your victims.

You need to see this.

What?

Why is Kim Tae Pyung throwing that out for him?

Mr. Jo.

You're arrested for the murder of Baek Seong Woon.

You're under suspicion...

for murdering Goo Do Kyung and assuming his identity,

and for murdering Lee Mi Jin.

You may consult an attorney.

Look at her again and tell me.

Did her death really change?

Are you sure I will not kill this woman?

Yes.

Her death changed.

You won't kill her.

(Episode 22 will air shortly.)

(Episode 22)

So...

did her death change?

You'll never find...

Seo Joon Young.

He admitted to everything he did...

and got arrested too.

So why? Why hasn't her death changed?

What did he mean by that?

What did he mean when he said he'll kill...

Joon Young?

That guy...

made a confession, and we found the evidence too.

He can't escape from this.

No, he definitely won't.

He really can't escape.

I knew it.

There's no way a bomb will go off.

A bomb?

What do you mean?

What?

You haven't heard?

Jo Hyun Woo is going to attack us with a bomb.

My gosh, Tae Pyung.

I guess he hasn't told you.

He said a bomb will go off,

and our bodies will be ripped into pieces to death.

I haven't been able to sleep for days...

because of what he said.

Hey, Tae Pyung. I'm glad you're here.

You need to tell everyone that you said I'll die...

in a bombing attack. You said that, right?

Is it true that Jo Hyun Woo will...

set off a bomb?

- Yes. - Did you hear that?

I told you that I clearly heard that.

Chief Nam, Chief Yang,

Mr. Han, Bong Soo, and Kang Jae.

You'll all die on the same day because of a bombing attack.

Then...

why did you say that my death changed?

I lied.

It's still the same.

I can still see that...

you'll die the same way.

What now?

Are we all going to die?

Goodness, honey. Goodness, Myung Hoon.

Just like you wanted, I turned myself in...

and I'll pay for my crimes too.

So...

did my death change?

Can you see...

that I no longer kill Seo Joon Young?

Is it true that Jo Hyun Woo will...

set off a bomb?

Yes. You'll all die on the same day because of a bombing attack.

Die.

Just die!

Why is Kim Tae Pyung throwing that out for him?

What were you thinking?

Why did you tamper with the evidence of his murder?

Because everyone can live...

if Jo Hyun Woo disappears.

Are you going to kill him or something?

Yes.

If that's how I could save you,

I was going to do that.

There's something Jo Hyun Woo says right before he dies.

He kills you...

and commits suicide.

That's how he dies.

I could see it from the start.

Kang Jae, Bong Soo,

Mr. Han, and even Chief Nam...

all die...

because Jo Hyun Woo kills them.

I kept wondering to myself every single day.

Why do they die like that?

Why can't I see your death?

I wondered and thought about it every single day.

- You can't. - Then what?

- Should we all just die? - You still...

can't kill a man.

It was the most horrendous death I've ever seen.

Mr. Lee Jun Hee has bombs all over him,

and he dies a horrible death that he can't even be identified.

And even after killing all those people,

he'll come for you too.

We found evidence of his murder.

Like you said, Mr. Jo will be...

locked up in prison.

And we'll make sure we find Mr. Lee.

So please,

give it a little time, will you?

What's going on here?

- What's going on? - They brought someone here.

- It was really bad. - There had been a fire.

- Really? - Excuse me.

- My goodness. - Coming through.

You can't enter.

Chief, hello.

He's our chief.

- Hello. - Hey.

Did you find anything?

Yes, we found the footage of Baek Seong Woon being killed.

The problem is finding the missing Mr. Lee Jun Hee,

and we need to take a good look.

Let's go inside. Ji Eun, let's go.

Okay.

Over here.

- He changed the number. - Bring me a lever.

Yes, sir.

Be careful.

- Go inside. - Yes, sir.

Chief Nam.

I think he was locked up here.

There's no one.

How did he come up with all this?

Wait.

Dust for fingerprints over there as well.

Yes, sir.

Come here.

- Team Leader Han. - Yes?

Over here.

I think this is the way to the back door...

which Tae Pyung mentioned.

I see the door at the end of this tunnel.

Let me see.

This is strange.

Sir, doesn't it seem like he intentionally left his tracks?

At first, he hid Kim Hyung Soo in order to disguise this room.

But this time, he made it obvious.

Sir.

You should look at this.

What?

He's still killing people.

He's stored the hair of his most recent victim...

in a red box that's in a cabinet at his warehouse.

It's the victims' hair.

Three years ago, Jo Hyun Woo told me...

that I'd find the hair...

of Kim Hyung Soo's victims in a red box.

I should've caught...

the real culprit.

Where were you on the 1st at 3pm?

Weren't you at Baek Seong Woon's funeral?

Hey, are you not going to talk?

(Monitoring Room)

Okay. I understand. We'll talk later.

- Is it the team leader? - Yes.

And Mr. Lee Jun Hee?

He hasn't been found yet?

They found evidence of his confinement,

but he must've been moved elsewhere.

Where's Mr. Lee Jun Hee?

Where did you hide him?

- Tae Pyung, calm down. - Tae Pyung.

Answer me first.

How has my death changed?

And how did hers change?

You lied, didn't you?

You're right.

I did.

But had you sincerely confessed,

your death would've changed.

So that's why it hasn't changed?

Yes.

So tell me.

Where are they?

Seeing how you're asking me that,

I guess their deaths haven't changed either.

What did you say?

What do you mean?

Whose deaths?

If we want to escape,

we need to untie each other's knots.

I'll untie yours, and you do the same for mine.

Why aren't you answering me?

Do you truly want to die like this?

Don't try to save face.

We'll both freeze to death.

That's great.

What?

Just die.

Everything happened because of you.

If it wasn't for you,

all those girls would've lived.

My daughter would've lived as well.

Jo Pil Doo wouldn't have been wrongly accused.

And my wife...

wouldn't have killed him.

So?

You just want to die like this?

Are you saying Mr. Lee and Kim Hyung Soo might die?

I think they're in a dangerous situation right now.

Their deaths haven't changed.

And Do Kyung isn't spilling their whereabouts either.

What if I ask him?

I know this may sound funny,

but...

I'd like to catch Kim Hyung Soo myself.

Joon Young has been in there for hours, but he hasn't spoken.

It'll be useless.

Is this necessary?

I do understand how you feel.

You must've felt lonely.

You probably pitied yourself.

You'd feel dispirited and enraged since you've been victimized.

I'm sure feeling that way for many years exhausted you.

The Jo Hyun Woo I knew...

20 years ago...

was a warmhearted person.

Hey. Hey.

Just stop.

Give us some room to breathe.

That's the Jo Hyun Woo I remember.

So please tell me.

Where...

are they?

Did you know...

that I'd kill you?

I guess not.

You may not believe me,

but I've never thought...

of harming you.

In fact, I thought I'd be committing suicide in front of you.

I was told that I'd kill myself in front of the police.

I didn't care about anyone else.

But I thought...

it was enough...

for you to understand why I had to die.

But he said I'll end up killing you myself.

If that does happen,

Kim Tae Pyung is to blame.

(Recording Room)

Let's move in 3 teams of 2.

- Kang Jae, go with Chief Nam. - Yes, sir.

- You go uphill with Tae Pyung. - Yes, sir.

- Bong Soo, follow me. - Okay.

- We'll go now. - All right.

Goodbye, sir.

- Sir. - Yes?

Over there. I see one.

Hello.

We're the police.

We're searching this area.

Could we look at your CCTV footage?

(Motorcycles)

Hello.

Hello, we're the police.

Could we check your CCTV footage?

(Seoul Joongang Police Station)

His name is Goo Do Kyung.

You said you'd fax me his card statements 10 minutes ago.

But I still haven't gotten it.

Yes. I appreciate your help.

(Crime Division 1)

Jo Hyun Woo will tell us where they are.

Joon Young was able to convince him.

So you have to come with us?

It will be hard to describe the place.

If you don't trust me, give it a go.

No.

But under one condition.

I don't want the media all over this.

I want Kim Tae Pyung to accompany us too.

Is there a reason why he must come with us?

I want to check if my death...

really changed.

I told you. I have no intention of killing you.

[VIU Ver] MBC E22 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Looking for Jun Hee & Hyung Soo" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

But someone's fate doesn't change that easily.

I know who's trying to kill her.

I can stop him.

If that man is a murderer,

you may die instead.

Hey, Team Leader Han. What did Kim Tae Pyung say?

Are Kim Hyung Soo and Lee Jun Hee alive?

Yes, they must be.

He didn't say their deaths changed.

It was so hard to stay alive for all these years.

I can't...

die like this.

Even if I do,

we must kill...

that jerk who killed your daughter.

Hey, you.

Wake up.

Hey.

How far?

We're almost there.

I hope I didn't come when they are both here.

That would make things really awkward for me.

Tae Pyung. Are you inside?

Tae Pyung.

He's not here.

Hey, Tae Pyung. It's me.

I called you,

but you didn't answer my call, so I stopped by your house.

You stamped the document with your seal, right?

Anyway, I must submit this by today.

I'll find it myself and take it.

All right.

(To Joon Young)

What is this?

(To Joon Young)

(To Chief Nam)

We have to walk from here.

Are you sure they are over there?

You'll see them when you walk deeper inside.

Hold on.

I'll keep an eye on him just in case.

I'll keep an eye on him too.

Don't worry. Go.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee Jun Hee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

- Mr. Lee! - Mr. Lee!

Darn it.

Hey, wake up. Wake up.

Hey. Wake up.

Wake up, darn it.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you awake now? Are you?

Hey.

It might be better if we split and spread out.

- Let's spread out from here. - Okay.

- Chief Nam, come with me. - Okay.

- Be careful. - Okay.

- Be careful. - Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Bong Soo, how deeper must we go?

Tell him that they must go deeper.

He said you must go deeper into the mountain.

Let's go that way.

Okay.

Now, I understand...

why Jo Hyun Woo locked you up.

Death is an easy way out for you.

- What? - You ought to rot in prison...

for the rest of your life.

What? What are you talking about?

What are you saying?

I'll take you out of here...

and hand you over to the police.

Just kill me instead.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Over there.

Let's go over there.

Okay.

Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee?

Mr. Lee is down.

Call an ambulance.

I repeat, Mr. Lee is hurt.

We need an ambulance.

Don't try anything funny.

I'll cut open his throat.

The key is in my pocket.

I'll take it out and give it to you.

I'm the one you want to kill anyway.

Hey, Bong Soo. Bong Soo!

Are you okay? Bong Soo! No!

- Hey! - Do as I say.

That's how you'll gain time to give him first aid.

Kim Hyung Soo. Stop right there!

Kim Hyung Soo!

You're under arrest for the suspicion of murder...

of Jeon Young Mi, Choi Bo Yeon, Lee Hye Na, Jeon Ye Sol,

Lee Young Jin, Song Ha Young, and Hong Min Ah.

Kim, you may consult an attorney,

and you'll get a chance to explain your case.

You have the right of habeas corpus.

Chief Nam.

Jo Hyun Woo is on the run.

Jo Hyun Woo is on the run. We need backup.

I repeat. Jo Hyun Woo is on the run.

Jo Hyun Woo is on the run. We need backup.

What do you mean, Jo Hyun Woo is on the run?

The cast was in the scalpel... No, the scalpel was in his cast.

Bong Soo is down, so he's receiving first aid.

I'm right behind Jo Hyun Woo.

And? Where are you right now?

Darn it.

He's gone.

What?

He took Tae Pyung and ran away, and he's gone now.

It's all your fault that her death hasn't changed...

even after I confessed what I did and decided to pay for it.

Once you die,

her death will be changed.

Look again.

It has changed, hasn't it?

Tell me.

Tell me that Seo Joon Young's death has changed!

If I say it has changed,

will you believe me this time?

- What? - 20 years ago...

and even now,

your life didn't turn like this because of what someone said.

Your choices...

led you to this place.

No.

Shut up and tell me.

Has her death changed?

This isn't good.

He even left a will for everyone.

I think he knew that he would die when he left.

Joon Young.

You can focus on the here and now.

I'll keep my eyes on the scary things.

I shouldn't have turned a blind eye.

I should have known.

And even after killing all those people,

he'll come for you too.

I shouldn't have let it slide.

I'll keep an eye on him too.

Don't worry. Go.

I already knew what you were thinking.

Tae Pyung!

It looks like...

this is the only way I can save you.

I'm sorry...

for leaving you alone again.

Tae Pyung!

No!
