Original subtitles

Who are you?

You look like you've been wronged.

There's no point in explaining.

No one believes me anyway.

I do.

I know you're serving time in Park Tae-u's place.

You do?

I saw it myself.

What?

Do you remember this?

It's the dashcam memory card you threw in the gutter that night.

So why don't you take the fall for this?

Sir.

Here.

That's…

This is the only thing that can prove your innocence.

That's right.

I'm so relieved.

Thank you so much.

Here.

Thank you.

What?

It's gone now.

What have you done?

Do you know what this means to me?

This was my lifeline!

For someone who values his own life so much,

you don't seem to care much about the lives of others.

How could you do this

when you're a detective?

You should abide by the law!

"All this big talk about the law,

and you could end up dead."

- What? - That was what you told me.

Right?

All this big talk about the law,

and you could end up dead.

But you look for the law as soon as you're in hot water.

Just keep rotting away in prison.

And after your release,

live out the rest of your life as an ex-con with a murder record

and die

in utter misery.

Excuse me, Detective.

Wait!

Get back here, you bastard!

Get back here!

EPISODE 7 OPPORTUNITY

All the videos were confirmed to be true.

We've requested an arrest warrant for Park Tae-u

for the charges of murder and the concealment of corpses.

High-ranking government officials

who aided in covering up Park Tae-u's crimes have been arrested.

Park Tae-u hasn't regained consciousness

after receiving another emergency surgery.

He is said to be in critical condition.

Taekang's Chairman, Park Jin-seop, has stepped down from his position,

leaving Taekang in the hands of professional managers.

While Park Tae-u's condition post-surgery is still unknown,

the police announced that they will question him

about the driver who was stabbed to death a month ago by a fountain pen

as soon as he regains consciousness.

God kept you alive…

so you could experience hell on earth.

You'll live the rest of your life in a half-vegetative state.

Killing, your favorite pastime, is beyond you now.

You won't even be able to hurt a fly.

It was fun talking to you.

I'll get going.

Don't see me out.

THE LATE LEE JI-SU

You…

held me back that night, didn't you?

Ji-su…

AUTHOR LEE JI-SU

I kept running

until I ran out of breath to get my revenge.

All that was left for me

was the fact

that I had to die again.

I've got it!

Gil-su.

You've gained a lot of weight.

You bastard!

Damn it.

Those bastards.

Let me go, you bastard.

I carried on living as An Ji-hyeong,

waiting for Death to come knocking at any minute.

I started to get used to living as An Ji-hyeong,

as if I had been him all along.

- Great job, sir. - You too.

Any last words?

I guess not.

What about you?

Any last words?

Are you all right?

How are you doing?

It's just a scratch.

Thank you for saving me.

Don't mention it. It was nothing.

Gosh.

They'll worry when they see me here.

Who will?

- Dad! - Honey!

Does it hurt a lot, Dad?

Honey.

There you go again.

Stop crying.

Not while Seul-gi is here.

Mom.

Don't cry.

Honey.

Seul-gi.

Want to go get some snacks?

Who are you, mister?

Seul-gi.

He's my friend from work.

You can call him Uncle.

Uncle?

Yes. Uncle.

Why aren't you eating?

- Uncle. - Yes?

You're a police officer too.

Do you also get hurt

every time you work?

Whenever my dad goes to work,

he always comes home hurt.

To be honest,

I worry about him every time he goes to work.

I wish my dad would stop getting hurt.

Seul-gi.

I'll do my best

to make sure he doesn't get hurt while working.

Really?

Yes.

Pinky promise.

There.

You should stop getting hurt as well.

Thank you, Seul-gi.

- Are you curious? - Yes.

Do you like what I got you?

Mom! Dad!

- You're back. - Goodness.

Are you all right now, Dad?

I'm fine now.

Let's visit a theme park when Dad gets out.

- I'd love that! - Goodness.

If I hadn't died,

would I have been able to start a family of my own?

Fucking hell!

Why would you come all the way up here?

Where else did you think it would lead?

We know you have drugs, so turn yourself in.

Drugs aren't the only thing I have.

Die, you pigs!

That's what you get for chasing me here, you bastards!

Who wants to go first?

Damn it.

You should stop getting hurt as well.

I wish my dad would stop getting hurt.

- You're back. - Goodness.

I might have failed to save Ji-su…

but not this time.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

Put your hands up!

Let me go!

Can people stop shooting me for once?

Ji-hyeong!

Ji-hyeong!

I thought I warned you.

Right.

Are you upset that I killed myself?

I had a good reason to.

Reason?

It was to save Detective Woo Ji-hun.

I did it to save someone else's life.

And?

What do you mean?

I sacrificed myself to save someone else's life.

- You? - That's right.

And who are you, exactly?

What?

I asked who you were.

What kind of a question is that?

You seem to be very proud of yourself.

Why don't you leave for now?

What?

Why am I so disheveled?

Gosh, I stink.

Am I a homeless man?

Knowing my next form must've been why Death was laughing.

I've been through so much until now.

This is nothing.

Do you remember Detective An Ji-hyeong,

the man who shed light on the brutal crimes

of Taekang's ex-CEO, Park Tae-u,

and serial killer Jeong Gyu-cheol,

bringing them to justice?

Hey.

We have sad news that Detective An died while he was out on duty.

Detective An's funeral is currently being held

- at Taekang Hospital's funeral hall. - Gosh, he died.

People like him deserve to live long lives.

I know.

The chief of Seoul Metropolitan Police

visited the funeral home this afternoon,

- I should pay a visit… - awarding him a medal

and a certificate of merit.

- to my own funeral. - He was also promoted posthumously.

Detective An will be buried

in the police section of the Seoul National Cemetery.

With the passing of Detective An Ji-hyeong,

who showed us that justice always prevails,

various groups are continuing to share memories of the late detective

and express their condolences.

After it was revealed that Detective An's father

was also a policeman who died on duty many years ago

while chasing a violent offender,

many have expressed their deep respect

for the service of both the father and the son.

TAEKANG HOSPITAL FUNERAL HALL

Wow, from an assemblyman?

That's impressive.

What?

"Actor Song Ji-seop"?

Man, I'm a huge fan of his.

Uncle.

Are you really watching over us from above?

Thank you, Uncle.

You kept the promise you made me.

I miss you, Uncle.

Hey, wait…

Mom.

Let's go.

I just…

He should've stuck to his old ways.

Acting out of character brought on early death.

These past few months, it was as if he was a different person.

They say people suddenly change when it's their time to go.

Sir.

Are you here for a free meal?

What? No.

- Then leave. - What?

- I said leave. - I was just…

I told you to get out!

- Come on. - Excuse me.

Let him be.

We should be grateful that one more person wants to pay their condolences.

Hold on.

Here.

Take this.

Enjoy.

Let's go for a smoke.

Hurry and get going.

The prime minister is here!

What did you think of the late detective?

THE LATE AN JI-HYEONG, AGE 42

Due to my actions,

many people ended up cherishing his memory.

But the deeds I accomplished as An Ji-hyeong

had nothing to do with me in the end.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES WE SHARED TOGETHER

I won't ask you to sacrifice yourself for your partner.

But at the very least, let's not embarrass ourselves.

Come on!

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry, Ji-hyeong.

It's not your fault.

So you should stop blaming yourself.

I'm sure Detective An

wouldn't feel that way.

And I'm sure he feels glad

that he was the one…

to jump in that day.

Who the hell are you?

What gives you the right to say such things?

- What? - Who do you think you are?

I…

And who are you, exactly?

I asked who you were.

I'm…

I don't know

who I am anymore.

What?

People are happiest

when they can truly be themselves.

In the end,

life would be meaningless

if you can never really be yourself.

Ji-su…

I finally came to understand

that being reborn time and again as different people

was all pointless

if I could no longer live

as my true self.

Can't we stop now?

I don't need any of this anymore.

You must've had fun watching me being proud of deeds

that weren't even mine.

Seeing how much more of a fool you could make out of yourself

was rather entertaining.

Did I even save Detective Woo Ji-hun?

Was he actually destined to die there?

I'm sure you now know…

that none of that matters.

Hurry up and shoot.

I just need to die two more times for this to end.

Do you remember how I said the pain of death would get worse

with each round?

What lies waiting for you at the end

is pain beyond your wildest imagination.

Whatever that is,

I can just kill myself and be done with it.

You fool.

Who's this supposed to be?

Who cares?

Let's just get it over with.

This man was living the life

that I wanted so badly before I died.

He was employed,

married,

and had a family of his own.

He was living an ordinary life that seemed so far from my reach.

But it all ended so easily…

TERMINATION NOTICE

…and in vain.

The company he gave his youth to…

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

…and his family, which meant everything to him…

DIVORCE PETITION

…ended up abandoning him completely.

They were saying, "You are no longer useful to us."

The empty void left in his heart

was desperately

wishing for death.

Just like…

how I had felt then.

Once again…

I had to make a choice.

Thanks, Ji-su.

I'll call you after the interview is over.

Okay. You can do it!

Thanks.

I need to get a job before I graduate.

I can do this.

No.

I have to do this.

Sir, are you all right?

Sir!

Are you all right?

Sir. Are you okay?

What do I do?

Is this 911?

Someone's been hit by a car.

I'm at the intersection outside Taekang.

Help me.

Please help me.

Please.

He looked up at me as if I were a god.

He was begging me with his eyes.

To this very day…

I remember how electrifying it was.

Sir…

Someone should call 911.

My goodness.

You truly are a lost cause.

Wasn't the thing you wanted most

a chance to turn everything back?

What makes you so sure?

Because all the humans I've punished

ended up wanting the same thing.

Humans don't recognize an opportunity

even when it's handed to them.

Didn't you claim you could beat me

playing by the rules I have created?

We're down to the final shot.

Death is merely a means of ending the pain I'm in.

If I'm ending up in hell anyway, let's not waste time.

I'll end it quickly, no matter whose body you put me in.

I doubt you will.

We'll have to see about that.

What?

Mom?

Are you still standing there?

Are you afraid to turn back?

The face I somberly remembered

The person I'm grateful for

The person I owe

Although there's no miracle we hoped for

Nor the strength to get back on our feet

Listen to the voice that embraces you

"I love you"

"I love you"

If you're still hesitating

I hope you find the courage

To stand up again

And overcome it
