Original subtitles

(Episode 3)

Oh, no.

There's no telephone booth here.

(Love Salon)

There are guys like that.

Just looking at them makes you want to bully them.

That's what I felt for Sung Ho.

He had the same look as you.

He called me Mom even as he was bleeding.

Mom?

It's nothing, really.

But watching him beg made me not want to be one.

Isn't this what happened to you?

You look like you've begged growing up.

Why does it have to be me?

Kill your own mother, you punk!

Help!

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Go...

and beg Sung Ho to forgive you.

You will end up killing someone.

You can't stop it once you've started it.

It's not bad...

to be hurt.

The person who hurt you...

is the bad one.

Brain death is different from cardiac death.

The brain may be dead but the heart may still be beating.

The brain may be dead...

but the heart may still be beating.

Brain death.

Spontaneous respiration is impossible...

and having two fixed dilated pupils.

A coma status that is...

unresponsive to external stimuli.

It is beating.

This is Love Salon.

Someone got hurt.

I think I heard a sound from here.

(Episode 2, Bad karma)

This is the police.

There's been a murder.

Hello?

I...

just saw his face.

Where are you at, ma'am?

Help me.

Doctor!

She fell asleep, Doctor.

It's been ten minutes since she's been like this.

Around 15 minutes from now.

Please save her.

Come with me.

Stop RSC. Scalpel.

Hyung Bin.

This is Ha Eun.

I am outside now. If you want to reach me...

- Hello? - Is this Ha Eun's?

I'm calling from St. Peter's hospital.

Did something happen to Ha Eun?

I can tell from your voice that you are her guardian.

Ha Eun was rushed to the emergency room just now.

(Restricted Area. Emergency Center)

Ha Eun!

Where were you? I couldn't find you in the bookstore nor your house.

I'm alive, Hyung Bin.

I'm alive.

You held my hand and didn't let me go.

You held so tightly that the death messenger let me go.

He said he'll let me go to you.

Your hand?

- I did? - You were holding my hand...

just until now.

Hyung Bin, I'm so surprised.

I'm weirdly okay now. Here, watch.

I don't feel nauseated by the smell of the hospital.

I can't smell the formalin of the corpse now.

It was the first time in my life.

I ran for 50 or 70 meters.

I was able to run that distance today.

Yet I'm still alive, just like a miracle.

You had to run?

Why did you have to run?

- Sorry? - What made you run?

- Well... - Tell me.

Reporting yellow umbrella serial murder case. Over and out.

The name of the salon is "Love Salon."

I got you. Over and out.

Listen to me, Ha Eun.

You can't act on your own from now. Got it?

Wait for me in the hospital.

Don't go anywhere until I get here.

- I have to tell you... - Please listen to me.

Will you take me to the police station, Hyung Bin?

- To the police station? - Yes.

I'll wait for you there.

That's okay, right?

- Thank you, Doctor. - Sure.

Who was the man who brought Ms. Jung...

to the emergency center?

- A man? - He brought her...

in his arms with blood all over him.

What does he look like?

I've seen him before.

He's a guardian for a patient in the intensive care unit.

So I've met him over a consultation.

He has a scar over his left eye.

Do you know his name?

It was written Gong Ji Chul in the chart.

I'll leave you now.

You were holding my hand just until now.

(Old Future)

He's after Ha Eun.

(Love Salon)

What happened?

December 14th, 1987, Yoon Jeong Hee.

She's the 11th victim.

Don't you think it could be a copycat crime this time?

The killer has only used a knife until the 10th murder.

He never used a club to hit someone on the head.

If it was imitated, he would have used a knife too.

What's going on?

That pen...

My daughter also has it!

- Oh, no. - What's going on?

Oh, my goodness.

- This pen? - Yes.

Buyeon Elementary School.

It's a commemorative pen for its establishment.

It has a needle on the other end.

Could this be a clue?

Where is it located?

That school closed down four years ago.

In Do, go check on Ha Eun at the police station.

He's going alone again.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine,

and ten.

One killed and the other gave them a funeral.

No.

One killed...

and the other painted a picture.

(Criminal Affairs Division)

The pain from the wound the woman you loved gave...

can't even compare to the pain...

of having your eye pierced.

Then would your murderous instincts leave that woman alone?

I'm different from you.

I don't care if she doesn't love me.

I will complete...

my love in my own way.

My first prophecy came true...

but you don't think the next one will?

If you want to protect that woman...

don't drag her into your destiny.

I will never...

let her die.

I will...

save her no matter what.

I will...

save her.

(Keeping law and order. Making a just world.)

The face of a murder you saw...

Was it this man?

Detective Cha!

Ha Eun saw the serial killer murder the owner of the salon.

We finally have an eye witness.

I can't believe Ha Eun saw it.

- Go home. - Detective Cha.

Hyung Bin, why are you doing this?

There are no eyewitnesses...

and Ha Eun didn't see anything.

Hyung Bin.

Ha Eun, look at me.

I'm no longer a policeman protecting the public.

I'm only going to protect you. That's all I will do.

If it means protecting you, I'm not only going to hand in resignation,

but I can kill.

Is that something a detective should say?

He's after you.

He?

Someone who's killed 11 women is right by you.

- Did you know? - What are you talking about?

Go home. I'll take you there.

You can't be alone for a single moment now.

You know how to use this, right?

Contact me with this from now on. Keep it on 24 hours.

- Got it? - Copy that. Over and out.

- You can go now. - Get in. I'm going to stand guard.

I can't go to sleep with you outside now, can I?

Get inside already.

Copy that. Over and out.

Hurry and lock your windows.

Use this time to listen to it and get some practice.

You say it's your favorite, but you keep getting the notes wrong.

Here.

(Old Future)

(Old Future)

(Dial 112 for criminal report and 113 for a spy)

I can't believe him.

Where are you? Reply. Over and out.

I'm going to the bathhouse. I need to clean myself. Over and out.

I won't be able to contact you for an hour.

Gong Ji Chul.

What's going on?

What's happening?

Is he a spy?

- He's the police. - He has a gun.

I will fire if you move.

Gong Ji Chul, you're under arrest for the murder of ten women.

You murderer.

Get up.

All right, let's go.

- Oh, my goodness. - What a scary world we live in.

Look at him.

Gong Ji Chul.

Hurry up.

What is this?

Are you here to read books?

It's not bad to be hurt.

The person who hurt you is...

the bad one.

In your next life,

I hope you're born in a place where no one would hurt you.

You murderer!

Detective Cha is protecting the witness right now.

Do you think he's the real criminal?

Gong Ji Chul is...

in denial of all crimes except the salon incident.

People have no interest in real criminal.

They want a sinner.

- You deserve to die. - Oh, my goodness.

Stop that.

But I think the evidence is insufficient.

The evidence...

Tell Detective Cha to persuade the witness.

I'll hang him in jail.

I know people like him.

He'll hurt himself if he doesn't commit a murder.

The reason he wants to die is...

that he couldn't kill anyone.

She's going to die anyway even if you don't kill her.

I can send her off comfortably if you want.

Is this woman...

your 12th murder target?

You were a middle school drop-out. You couldn't have learned to paint.

Who is your accomplice who painted this?

Gong In Woo, whom you say is the real criminal,

has been pronounced dead 15 years ago.

Nor he has never married,

he doesn't have a son.

Who painted "Reading Mary"?

I went to that book store...

a lot.

- The "Old Future." - What?

I can hear the music box from the entrance.

There's a photo...

of Ha Eun's family on the counter.

She likes tangerines,

which is why she drinks tangerine tea.

Since when...

have you been following Ha Eun?

I don't know. I haven't really been counting.

But...

I went to that book store...

even before you met Jung Ha Eun.

I probably know her better than you do.

I know the way she laughs,

the way she gets mad,

and the way she closes her eye...

when she eats a sour tangerine.

I also know how she looks...

when she looks at the man she loves.

"Wuthering Heights."

You don't even know if her favorite sentence is...

on page 73 or 123.

You...

You only know how to ask her to marry you when she's dying...

but I guess you still want to protect her.

All right.

You're right.

I don't know when she's going to die.

She lost everything in her parents' car accident.

She grew up like an orphan.

You know what an orphan is, don't you?

There are no murderers from the moment they are born.

Aren't you mad at the people...

who made you like this?

It's not yet too late.

A lot of criminals have repented who are living new lives.

I'm not saying this as a detective.

I'm telling you as Ha Eun's guardian.

Finish your ill-fated relationship with Ha Eun.

Start a new life now.

A new life?

I would've liked that...

more than anything.

Put me in jail as much as you want.

I'll go to her even after I'm dead.

I'll go without a doubt.

You...

asked why.

It's because that's the reason I'm still alive.

So you're telling me...

killing Ha Eun is the reason you're still alive.

You're not the only one...

who can kill people.

You're dead to me even by looking at her.

Do you understand?

(Holy Bible)

If everything in this world disappeared but you,

I'm going to keep on living.

(If everything in this world...)

(disappeared but you, )

(I'm going to...)

(keep on living.)

Even if the body dies,

the soul...

- will reborn. - Even if the body dies,

the soul will reborn.

You can be born again.

(Reborn)

(Cha Hyung Bin, I wish I could be you just for once.)

(Cha Hyung Bin, I wish I could be you just for once.)

(Episode 4)

As you may know,

it might become worse again.

It's okay, Doctor.

I realized now.

If I have a strong purpose,

my heart...

will become that much stronger.

I'm going to live, whatever it takes me.

We'll have kids and I'll fuss and fight with you.

Just by your side, forever.

Are you...

accepting my proposal?

What a timing.

May I recommend a wedding hall?

There is a place called...

Haebora Cathedral over in Samcheon.

I'm good friends with the priest there.

We appreciate it, Doctor.

Detective Cha, where are you? Over and out.

- Wait a minute. - Take it. I'll go to the restroom.

I am listening. Over and out.

Detective Cha is really my type.

What a shame.

He's getting married to Ms. Jung.

Have you seen it?

There was another man with Ms. Jung in the emergency room.

Really?

Does that mean...

she has another man other than Detective Cha?

It's not the first time I've seen it.

He brought Ms. Jung last time, in his arms.

What do you mean by that?

What does that mean?

Actually, the last time you were here...

someone else brought you here.

He was with you in the ER the whole time.

- What? - If he's a murderer,

he wouldn't have taken me to the hospital since I'm a witness.

- So? - What I saw wasn't...

him killing Yoon Jeong Yi,

but how he looked after she'd died.

His eyes were...

filled with fright. It wasn't the look of a murderer.

I can't believe that he's killed 11 people.

Ha Eun,

girls normally feel creepy in a situation like this.

He committed murder before your eyes.

He hung around you...

hiding in a corner like that looking at you secretly.

What do you think he had on his mind?

Look how he wrote the same message that I'd written.

He confessed to me that he wrote it. You really want to meet this man?

He peeked at me and imitated you.

It's scary and it gives me the creeps.

But...

what if that was all? He might not be a murderer.

Hyung Bin,

I'll meet him.

I will testify if he's the murderer.

Even if he were sentenced to death with your testimony,

what would you do if he broke out of jail?

You've seen how he kills a woman right in front of your eyes.

If he tries to kill you, you can't run away.

Do you think he's not aware that you have heart disease?

Hyung Bin.

He's the kind of guy who can live only when he commits a murder.

And this guy knows you.

That alone drives me insane.

Gosh, he really left.

Hey, Hyung Bin!

(Abiding by the law. Real correction)

It's been a long time,

Gong Ji Chul.

It's been four years.

Since we last met at night school.

You're the same as ever.

You didn't kill Yoon Jeong Yi...

deliberately, did you? Wasn't it an accident?

You're not a man who'd kill someone.

What kind of person...

would that be?

You read a book while you carried bricks on your back.

Do you know how your eyes looked as I read a book?

You only show one eye...

but you looked brighter than people...

who live with both eyes.

Did you hold my hand in the emergency room...

that day?

When I fainted at the phone booth,

you brought me to the hospital.

It was you.

Do you...

believe me?

I do.

Anyone who ever calls me a teacher...

has the possibility to start a new life.

Tell me about what happened that day.

Tell me everything.

Yoon Jeong Yi should die...

so someone else could live.

- That's why I killed her. - What do you mean by that?

You killed her on purpose?

- Yes. - It wasn't...

an accident?

So,

how do you feel now?

Do you regret it?

Even if the moment came again,

I would still...

have killed...

that woman.

Why?

- She's a bad woman. - Is it allowed to kill a person...

if she's bad?

And...

you killed her so someone else could live?

Does that make sense to you?

Who is it you have to save by committing murder?

Who is it?

- Do you want to know? - Do you think...

this person would appreciate it...

when someone died because of that someone?

I would've been scared and felt creepy.

Do you think this would justify your murder?

Murdering is...

what beasts do.

You've chosen the path...

of a beast, not a human being.

If you don't regret making that decision,

you are already...

a beast.

(Your last moment will be a sacrifice, not revenge.)

(A sacrifice)

- I think that's her. - It's her!

- It's the witness. - That's her.

- Are you the witness? - What do you think of this case?

Did you see it with your own eyes?

Is Gong Ji Chul the real criminal?

Tell us anything.

Is he who you saw?

I will ask you again.

Did you see the defendant kill...

Yoon Jeong Yi?

Yes, I did.

How did he kill her?

He hit her head...

with a wooden stick.

How can he do such a thing?

"Be my wife."

Why do you think...

the defendant scribbled this here?

It's...

because he'd always watched me in the bookstore.

He seemed to have imitated my boyfriend's proposal.

He's unbelievable.

Did you ever think he could be foreshadowing a murder?

The pictures of 11 women he'd murdered...

are all wearing...

white cloth like a bride.

Your Honor,

the defendant was abandoned by his mother...

and was locked up, abused,

and emotionally abused growing up.

After counseling, we were able to find out...

he'd been stabbed with scissors all over his body by his stepmother...

and had even been sexually abused.

This is the picture that proves he was abused by his stepmother.

Yoon Jeong Yi, the hairdresser, worked late at night...

and had a relationship with several men...

according to people from the neighborhood.

How would Yoon Jeong Yi have flirted...

with the defendant that day?

She's making things up.

When the hairdresser approached him with these scissors...

what would have the defendant...

have in his mind?

What's happening there?

The defendant is suffering from epilepsy.

He has been diagnosed with a seizure...

when he's put under extremely stressful situations.

In these cases, he won't remember...

anything he has done.

This isn't a murder.

He just had a problem with his brain.

Please say something.

- How was the trial? - Is Gong Ji Chul the murderer?

Did he really kill 11 women?

Please say something!

Ms. Jung Ha Eun?

- And you are? - I'm Cha Hyung Bin.

Oh, detective Cha. Ji Chul will be...

put in a psych ward first, then be moved to a mental hospital.

A lot of men died while there.

He'll be taken care of within a few weeks. So don't worry.

He'll get out for sure. We need witness protection.

I'll have the police stand guard in front of her house.

I'm sure you'll be next to her 24, 7 as well.

Please give us a word.

It's Gong Ji Chul!

Hurry, take a picture.

Stay still.

Do you...

believe me?

I do.

You are not...

a man who'd kill someone.

Detective Cha!

Here is the list...

of doctors and nurses at the psych ward Ji Chul is in...

that you asked for.

In Do, please take Ha Eun to the train station.

I heard Gangwon province has a heavy snow warning.

Will she be okay?

Get there first. I'll follow you soon.

I don't think the walkie talkie works long distance.

I'll be waiting.

Let's go.

I saw many cases of psychiatric studies...

in America.

If you don't remember the murders you committed...

they shouldn't be considered murder cases.

This country is so barbaric...

that they don't know anything.

What is...

my blood type?

It's type AB.

Why do you ask?

Gong Ji Chul escaped the psych ward after attempting to kill his doctor.

Please put up a wanted alert. And send an ambulance.

Ha Eun...

Ha Eun! Answer me!

Ha Eun. Come out.

Ha Eun!

Jung Ha Eun!

This is Father Andrew.

I think it was January 24th or the 25th.

Excuse my old age.

If you get off Samchuk station...

and ask for Haebora Cathedral, everyone should know.

I've finished the preparations for the wedding.

Wait just for a while.

I'll give you my heart.

(Resurrection)

Today is January 25th, 1988.

The time is...

5:15 a.m.

I love you, Hyung Bin.

Never forget my voice telling you this.

Even after 20, 30 years...

I hope you stay as a policeman.

I will still...

miss you even then.

The serial killer Gong Ji Chul is...

said to have escaped the psych ward around midnight.

He bludgeoned the doctor...

and escaped by changing into the doctor's clothes.

Halt.

I'm the police.

Stop!

- What is it? - Get him!

Are you Ha Eun?

Welcome.

Where is Hyung Bin?

He'll be here soon, father.

Would you like to see the cathedral?

- It's where your wedding will be. - Yes.

I swear to lord and Ha Eun's parents who are resting in peace.

I, Cha Hyung Bin, will protect...

my bride Jung Ha Eun with my life...

to the end.

Hyung Bin.

I heard lovers are connected with a red string...

as soon as they are born into this world.

If you want to sever that tie...

one person must die.

Hyung Bin.

I will find you whether...

you're dead or alive.

So please...

promise me you'll find me too.

I accept...

Cha Hyung Bin...

as my husband.

Whether we are together or apart,

for eternal to eternal,

I vow...

to love Cha Hyung Bin...

and Cha Hyung Bin only.

Is this Haebora Cathedral?

Is this Father Andrew?

Yes, this is Cha Hyung Bin speaking.

Did Ha Eun arrive at the cathedral?

Cha Hyung Bin is...

with me right now.

Father.

Look at his face carefully...

if he has a scar on his left eye.

My vision is not so clear.

I can't see it well.

Was it Cha Hyung Bin...

on the phone?

Are you here...

to kill people?

Can people who committed suicide...

born again?

All men are...

sinners.

We can be forgiven by the lord.

Lord...

No.

I don't need him, but I want her to forgive me.

No.

I want to ask her...

if I really can't become human.

I came to tell her...

that I don't want to become a beast.

I want to prove...

that her faith is not mistaken.

Jung Ha Eun...

was the first person...

who looked me straight in the eye.

She was the first one...

to call my name.

I am...

Gong Ji Chul.

I told you...

you'd be dead if you looked at Ha Eun.

You'll escape if I put you in jail again.

You'll never get over it...

until you kill Ha Eun.

Murder is the only way you have.

Please give me time...

for once.

Did you give them time before you killed all those girls?

No!

Hyung Bin.

Hyung Bin.

Hyung Bin.

No!

No.

Don't do this.

Hyung Bin.

You can never go to Ha Eun.

Hyung Bin.

Ha Eun.

Ha Eun.

Please save Ha Eun.

Ha Eun.

I told you...

that souls will be reborn,

didn't I?

Gong Ji Chul,

listen to me.

You'll never...

be able to come back to life.

My plan to give her my heart...

became a failure.

I had hoped that would be the last time...

and the end of my destiny and soul.

Just like the curse...

of Jung Ha Eun,

I hoped my soul that was tarnished as a murderer...

would not be resurrected.

I hoped again and again.

I'm done.

That was quick.

I have the habit of reading only what I want to read.

("The Man You Cannot Meet While Alive")

But don't you need the notes you wrote in this book?

They say notes are the history of the book.

The first person to read the book...

and the next person.

I look forward to who'd read next...

and become the history of the book.

(Born Again)

Are you Chun Jong Bum?

What is this...

- deja vu? - It's been bothering me.

She won't be able to live her life to the fullest.

They found some remains near the Donggang River.

What happened 30 years ago?

I felt pain.
