Original subtitles

(Episode 25)

Mr. Gong,

do you believe in reincarnation?

A death-row convict who was on his way to confess his love...

is born as a psychopath who cannot feel love.

This would be an appealing material for a novel.

Don't you think so?

Why do you say that man is Ji Chul?

The eyes that I saw yesterday...

were not those of Chun Jong Bum.

Chun Jong Bum's eyes are as cold as ice,

but the ones I saw yesterday seemed...

to be crying even as he was outraged.

He...

remembered vividly what happened 30 years ago.

I'm sure...

the two people coexist in him.

I do. I was there...

when Gong In Woo killed your stepfather.

Then the world would know that it was...

Jang Hye Mi who helped Gong In Woo commit a murder.

He came to know too many things.

He was special to me in many ways.

Why is this so hard to do?

Geez. I'm calling it a day.

I leave you to take care of the rest.

(Coexistence)

(Yuhon Gallery)

(Chun Jong Bum)

To Yuhon gallery at 11 p.m.

Come if you want to know who Gong In Woo really is.

It's been such a long time, Mr. Gong.

I see that you've been protecting my precious paintings well.

Aren't they beautiful?

The paintings were completed by someone shedding blood.

Every artwork comes with sacrifice.

So much for art and sacrifice.

It's an excuse of a filthy murderer.

You!

Are you Ji Chul?

Do not interrupt. It's the last time for the father and son to meet.

Why do you say you're my father?

Hye Mi was right indeed.

Those weak eyes,

your laughable outrage.

You haven't changed.

Hwang Seo Yeon in 1979.

Cho In Young in 1980.

Lee Jung Sun and Yoon Eun Jung in 1981.

You're the one who killed...

those ten women, Gong In Woo.

Since I was 17, people called me a genius...

and I held exhibitions.

I have been painting all my life.

Do you think they're the only ones I killed?

I want to ask you something.

You could've lived as an evil being...

but why did you want to involve me?

You knew that I loved Jung Ha Eun,

and yet you tried to kill her.

That's right.

That woman whom you loved to death,

Jung Ha Eun.

She was not meant to be with you anyway.

You tried to love someone recklessly.

Isn't love itself reckless?

So did you plan...

to kill...

Jung Ha Eun when you got the chance?

Until the moment those women died,

I looked at their eyes.

That moment from life to death...

when the lights leave from your eyes...

is...

so beautiful.

I only wanted to...

give that light to Jung Ha Eun too.

All my life, I have thought...

the world was cruel to me.

But I realized today...

that it gives me an opportunity.

You can fight it.

Fight the monster in you.

Paint my face on top of the person...

you want to kill.

Imagine the blood-covered hands stabbing me are yours.

Imagine what it would feel like to stab me.

If you still think you can kill someone...

I think it's time we ended the talk between father and son.

We have a guest,

Ji Chul.

Jong Bum.

No!

No!

Since I was 17, people called me a genius...

and I held exhibitions.

I have been painting all my life.

Do you think they're the only ones I killed?

(Emergency Center)

In the signature of Gong's painting found in the museum storage,

they got a luminol reaction.

The signature with slanted eyes...

at the lower-left corner of the painting...

is found to be bloodstain.

The signature is painted with bloodstain?

It's Gong In Woo's blood.

He signs with his blood.

This is the recording of Gong In Woo admitting his crime.

Take your time to check it.

And catch the murderer you missed 30 years ago...

properly this time.

Detective Cha Hyung Bin.

I guess I wasn't the only one who knew you were Detective Cha.

Wait a minute.

Who are you, really?

What happened to you 30 years ago?

I recognize you,

so how come you don't recognize me?

Gong Ji Chul.

Until the moment those women died,

I looked at their eyes.

That moment from life to death...

when the lights leave from your eyes...

is so beautiful.

I only wanted to...

give that light to Jung Ha Eun too.

I'm different from you.

You never loved a woman.

She'll die soon even if you don't kill her.

I can do it for you if you want.

You knew that I loved Jung Ha Eun, and yet you tried to kill her.

You tried to love someone recklessly.

Isn't love itself reckless?

Let's have a drink since we're family now.

Were you...

worried about me?

If he was a death-row convict,

why did he die...

by the sea?

It's because he had to meet...

the person he loved.

Something big happened.

What's the fuss?

I finally made it after spending a ton of time on this.

- Come here. - Now?

Hurry. This is amazing.

I restored the convict's bones. Look.

Do you see this?

He looks exactly like your stalker, Jong Bum.

Stop joking around. I'm not in the mood.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Are you shocked he looks exactly like your favorite student?

What do you mean they look alike?

You just put the face you hate...

after you got lazy from staying up a lot.

No, that's not it.

I didn't do this, the program did.

They do kind of look alike.

Their faces...

and their unfortunate lives.

I had another nightmare of you getting shot.

You're okay, right?

(I can't trust your family. This all happened because of me.)

(I can still hear your voice. I miss you. Are you in Korea?)

Hello, Jong Bum.

Jong Bum.

Is everything okay?

Can you come here...

right now?

Here? Where are you?

I'm on my way to my place.

But I have a huge headache.

I don't know what to do.

Your head hurts?

Where does it hurt exactly? Be specific.

Are you kidding me?

You called me as if you were on your death bed...

and you're just sitting there?

Geez.

My head did hurt...

but it got okay after seeing you.

Are you really okay?

I have a question.

Can you show me the text...

you received on the day...

I got shot?

If Jong Bum kills someone for the first time...

who will be his target?

I wanted to tell you something...

as soon as I woke up from the gunshot.

I thought everything would end...

if I died.

I was born again after death,

I was born again after being shot,

and I didn't know what kept bringing me back.

But now I know.

It's because I wanted to tell you something.

What is it?

I...

I'm not...

I'm...

I'm not a beast.

I'm glad I could be...

born this way.

I don't have to lose anything...

or keep glancing at you,

and I can tell you I like you without hiding it.

You're crossing a line.

The back of your head was too beautiful.

What?

Your eyes, cheeks,

and lower lip are moving together.

I guess you're flattered.

I'm relieved you can make jokes.

Stand up for a second.

How about you go to bed?

Your face looks terrible right now.

This will help you with your headache.

Did you know that the aftereffect...

of the brain surgery lowers your spatial sense?

Take these and go to bed. I'll bring you water.

I don't need the pills.

Just stay by my side.

Okay, since you're a patient.

I'll take care of you.

Jong Bum.

You were never...

a beast.

Even when you were among beastly people...

you were always...

human.

Until all the bad memories...

disappear from inside your head...

I won't let go...

of your hand.

You're the only one...

I love.

My savior.

I knew...

you would recognize Gong Ji Chul.

I read in your book...

that Ji Chul survived even after the execution.

Can you tell me how he died?

The prosecutor in charge of the execution found out...

that the criminal he executed was alive and well.

Would he have let him live?

I heard he was captured by human organ traffickers...

and that he died in the sea.

But...

do you think that Gong Ji Chul living in Chun Jong Bum...

will be able to recall his memories from his past life?

You were the one who told me, Hye Mi.

You said you were taking special care of him.

Why would I be digging my own grave?

After reading your book,

it seems as if I had another child...

apart from Ji Chul.

She's a violinist.

She took after...

your artistic talents.

Oh, my.

Why did you come here?

A yellow umbrella...

It can't be.

Were you the one...

who killed them all?

I'm Baek Sang Ah.

I'm Jang Hye Mi's daughter, Dad.

Sang Ah?

You're my daughter?

Nice to meet you.

Take a seat.

I heard you've got great artistic skills, just like me.

I was wondering what to tell you and where to start.

But after meeting you like this,

I didn't need to think twice about it.

Ever since I saw the name,

Gong Ji Chul, on my mother's book,

I've never...

pulled myself apart from Gong Ji Chul in my life.

Gong Ji Chul couldn't satisfy his hunger...

if he didn't commit murder.

I needed a friend who could understand me.

Then...

I started to believe that Gong Ji Chul could be alive.

It was written in my mother's book...

that he was coming back one day.

I wanted to summon Gong Ji Chul myself,

so I sent messages in his name...

and created a group that commemorated him.

I also committed a copycat crime by Gong Ji Chul.

After all that,

it felt like I became Gong Ji Chul.

But today,

I finally met the real Gong Ji Chul in my mother's novel.

It wasn't Gong Ji Chul but you, Gong In Woo.

And that happened to be my dad.

You're much more like me than I expected.

Dad,

I've got something to ask.

There is a man I love,

a woman who stole that man,

and another man protecting that woman.

I'd like to kill all three of them.

Whom should I start with?

Who hurt you the most?

Shouldn't you ask who's making me the most dangerous?

Don't hesitate.

You only need to focus on your broken heart.

I'll come to visit often, Dad.

You'll help me, won't you?

Of course, I would help you...

unless you try to kill me.

It's a yellow umbrella.

Gong In Woo.

What else have you found?

The Forensics say a muscle paralysis drug is used.

After confirming the identity,

he was Gang Du Chul, not Gong In Woo.

He had used a different name during Kim Yi Su's case.

Why do you think he's doing this, Prosecutor Cha, I mean, Kim?

Are you still playing with names? Are you that bored?

To Yuhon gallery at 11 p.m.

Come if you want to know who Gong In Woo really is.

I have been painting all my life.

Do you think they're the only ones I killed?

If this was a ring,

I would've engraved today's date on it.

Too bad.

Who are you waiting for?

That woman...

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

I have something else I need to check.

Can we meet now?

You knew...

that Baek Sang Ah stabbed Detective Ju from the start.

Why didn't you turn her in?

Just like you said, she'd climb right back out...

even if she was imprisoned.

The person that Baek Sang Ah went after was...

Jung Sa Bin.

That's why I tried to kill her...

and not Jung Sa Bin.

If you really have the law in your hands,

you should punish Baek Sang Ah properly.

You were right.

Baek Sang Ah was rotting here.

She'll try to kill again when she comes out.

Who do you think will be her first target?

Baek Sang Ah will want to kill Jung Sa Bin...

as much as you like Jung Sa Bin.

Pardon?

How do you know that?

I heard it directly from Baek Sang Ah.

I even saw it with my own eyes.

What do you mean?

I'll give you the crucial evidence when you could...

take her to the court.

(Episode 26)

(National Police Agency)

Prosecutor Kim.

Are you...

sure about the evidence?

I'd like to ask you.

For someone who knows about psychopaths so well,

why did you not recognize one right by your side?

The murderer of the Yellow Umbrella Case...

is the fiancee of Detective Cha?

How could someone like Detective Cha get involved with someone like her?

(Lim Hwa Young)

Ms. Baek Sang Ah.

Do you admit to murdering...

Lim Hwa Young on March 10, 2020?

Attempted murder of Detective Ju,

murdering and abandoning the body of Kim Yi Su,

murdering Gang Du Chul. Do you admit all of it?

Su Hyuk.

I asked if you admit to all of it,

Ms. Baek Sang Ah.

Was it really you who killed them?

- I don't know. - Did you go on killing people...

even as I was by your side?

You know how much I loath animals like that.

Why?

Why did you kill them?

Tell me.

You know what?

At this very moment,

you're paying all attention to me.

You want to know what kind of person I am...

and whether I really killed someone.

You're being genuinely interested in me.

What did you say?

I will tell you slowly...

one after another one...

to you only, Prosecutor Kim.

That way I can see you here...

like this for a long time.

What is your relationship with Gong In Woo?

Who is Gong In Woo?

I guess you're really curious about me, aren't you?

I like that.

In Do,

there is a scar from resisting in the suspect's wrist.

- Check under the victim's nails. - Sorry?

Yes, sir.

It's me.

Process the remains of the death-row convict...

as an unidentified body, right now.

Make sure it cannot be restored.

Chief Prosecutor Chun, Ms. Jang Hye Mi is here.

Let her in.

Are you here to talk about your daughter?

I am not surprised that someone like her...

came out from that family.

What could she learn from a mother who tries to cover up a murderer?

That is the reason...

I dumped you 30 years ago.

Lack of morality.

I'll give you five minutes.

Gong Ji Chul came back alive.

Gong Ji Chul?

You're right.

He came back a while ago.

He is lying in the autopsy room right now.

I processed him as an unidentified body, so he won't be restored.

Did you come here because you were scared of that?

What you are truly scared about is...

the incident 30 years ago.

The fact that Gong Ji Chul isn't...

the culprit of the Yellow Umbrella Case.

Also,

you haven't forgotten about us colluding on murdering...

Gong Ji Chul, have you?

So what?

- Let Sang Ah out. - She killed people.

You killed a man too 30 years ago.

- What did you say? - Let my daughter out.

What if I said no?

You know very well...

how strong the power of a pen can be.

It won't do you any good to mess with a writer.

Hey, Jang Hye Mi.

If it goes to trial, make it a closed trial.

And I'll defend my daughter.

You can choose the judge in charge.

- You should get up now. - Gong Ji Chul...

might be watching you from where it's nearest to you.

Even though a body may be gone,

a spirit with regret will find its way back.

Did you become religious lately?

Sir.

What is this guy doing?

Are you going to allow him to put his legs on the table?

How old are you, Ma Chul?

You know I'm 22.

Be respectful to Jong Bum from now on.

Or maybe you should call him an ancestor.

Ancestor?

Jong Bum.

You'll still respect me...

- since I saved your life, right? - Did you get what I asked?

Hey, you prick!

Who do you think you are speaking to?

Do I have to take my suit off to show you I'm a gangster?

Where is he looking at?

Excuse me, sir. I'll take my suit off.

How old are you, Chang Soon?

I'm 45, sir.

- You are 45? - Yes.

Then you're old enough to be his friend.

I asked the guys to get the information,

but why do you need that?

You also asked me to find a person.

Did you say it was your stepmother?

She could not see properly.

(The suspect of Yellow Umbrella Case)

(The author was found to be the mother of Ms. Baek.)

I gave you the last chance,

but you are throwing it away.

Are you saying I am the next target after Gong In Woo?

Might be.

You seem to be still upset about being deceived 30 years ago.

It's funny.

Even when your father who is your kin betrayed you,

don't you think you're asking too much to expect a favor of me?

The way you talk today is that of Chun Jong Bum,

but it's slightly different.

Your emotions are still alive.

Are they?

What's the real secret that you left out in your book?

While Gong In Woo was killing people...

Ji Chul collected their belongings to help identify them.

Among those things is your stepfather's belongings.

(Identification card)

I'm going to ask you two questions.

Answer them so I can understand.

One, who hired thugs to kill...

Gong Ji Chul at the hospital?

Who do you think it is?

It's the prosecutor in charge of Ji Chul's execution.

Chun Seok Tae?

He's your father.

Two, your daughter calls me her friend...

and she told me you've been watching me...

since before I was born.

What does that mean?

How does...

- she know you? - That's not an answer.

It means I designed...

your DNA, not your mother.

I did it back at...

the infertility clinic.

I switched a donated sperm once.

Your biological father isn't...

a one percentile genius.

I don't know who he is.

There was an anonymous sample at the hospital.

Why did you...

do that to me?

At first,

I wanted to dirty Seok Tae's life.

He and I have a long history.

I saw you for the first time when you were 13.

I knew at first sight...

that you weren't normal.

That's why I just wanted to keep an eye on you.

You're full of lies...

and I'd like to let the world know that too.

You seem to want to prove Ji Chul's innocence.

Keep in mind...

that I'm the only one who can prove that you were framed...

for the murder case 32 years ago.

I guess what we have to trade is clear now.

Bring me the evidence showing...

how Chun Seok Tae transformed Ji Chul...

into a serial killer.

If you had...

so much evidence...

why didn't you show these to Prosecutor Chun 32 years ago?

What difference would it have made?

He would have thought that I had collected these after killing them.

Nothing changed for you either after you found out...

that Gong In Woo was the real killer.

I was someone who could have been killed.

Heathcliff returned to seek vengeance for his love.

Is it the same for you?

You did it while we were eating.

Do you remember...

stabbing me with scissors while we were eating?

Who are you?

Why did you do it?

I asked you who you are.

I'm your son, Gong Ji Chul.

What?

How could you say that?

I thought to myself every time I got stabbed in the eye.

I hoped Mom's anger goes away quickly today.

I thought: "Let's hang in there."

"If I endure this..."

"she'd adore me today."

But I knew on the day I was stabbed in the eye.

I wasn't a person to you.

I was an object.

I was a dirty object that you would throw away...

in the garbage can if I died.

Are you...

really Ji Chul?

I thought I needed to survive no matter what.

The only way I would get my revenge on you...

was for me to grow up...

and for you to grow old.

But I...

still can't get my revenge...

when I'm seeing you right now.

(Incoming call)

Do you want to have a family party today?

Jong Bum, you've become so manly since the last time I saw you.

Jong Bum, it's Sa Bin's birthday soon.

So join us on our family trip.

I'm saying I'm growing fond of you.

You should just marry Sa Bin.

Uncle, let's not cross any lines.

It's not the Maginot Line, I can cross any line with you.

That's that.

Jong Bum, tell me.

You like Sa Bin, don't you?

I can tell...

when I see your eyes. I'm a player!

Stop it, Casanova.

Yes.

I like her.

Sa Bin,

how about you?

We like each other as a professor and student.

It should be obvious.

He's my favorite student.

Sa Bin,

do you think Jong Bum is cool or poor?

If a woman really loves a man...

she'll pity the man rather than considering him cool.

She'll want to hug and cuddle him,

fight for him if anyone picks on him.

That's the truest of...

true love.

Is that so?

If you know so well, why are you still single?

No woman in this world takes...

pity on me.

I'm destined to die alone.

The same goes for you.

Why you weasel!

Why don't we...

die together today, so we're not lonely anymore!

Come here, I'll give you a warm cuddle.

I like you.

Since I like you,

you should never get hurt.

To be honest,

I trembled when I saw you for the first time.

Can I ask you...

why you shot me?

It's because you tried to kill Sa Bin.

Are you still suspecting Jong Bum as the real killer?

Baek Sang Ah will want to kill Jung Sa Bin...

as much as you like Jung Sa Bin.

When's your birthday?

Me?

It's May 31.

I was born on the day my dad did his first execution.

It's unique, isn't it?

That's why...

I'll never be able to forgive that death-row convict,

Gong Ji Chul.

You haven't seen the face of the bones we restored, have you?

I think...

he looks a bit like you.

What do you mean?

He looks lonely.

It breaks my heart.

I must be crazy.

I get overly immersed in the bones.

You don't need to sympathize with him.

There wasn't a single bone that wasn't broken.

His eye was stabbed, and he even had a nutrient deficiency.

Most of the scars were...

formed during his childhood.

If he had been loved,

he could've lived a different life.

I don't think so.

All ties with the death-row convict would've been...

ill-fated.

It might've been ill-fated,

but it could've been his destiny.

Maybe he became a death-row convict because he met his destiny too late.

If only they had met sooner,

he wouldn't have lived and died like that.

Yes, Prosecutor Kim.

Can I...

see you for a moment?

What's wrong with your voice? Is something wrong?

Okay, I'll do that.

I'm sorry. I have to meet Prosecutor Kim.

You can go ahead.

- I'll be waiting. - Are you going to stay here?

I don't know how long it'll take.

I'll wait.

You're not feeling well. You should go back.

I can wait for you...

no matter how long it takes.

Why did you drink so much?

Can I...

hug you?

You hate me, don't you?

I know you hate me,

so I can't draw near to you.

I must seem like a murderer in your eyes.

Jong Bum is back...

and he's safe.

You're not a murderer, Prosecutor Kim.

(Jong Bum...)

Hey.

You’re drunk. You should stop drinking.

Prosecutor Kim.

I realized that I put the person in danger...

when I wanted to protect her the most.

I also realized...

staying by your side didn't mean I was protecting you.

I am going to...

place things back in order.

I'm going to sort this out...

and...

I'll come back to you.

I wanted...

to be happy with the man I love.

But every time I tried,

there's someone that keeps popping out of my head.

I can't leave him alone...

until he becomes happy.

I've thought numerous times about why I felt this way.

I have just always...

felt this way...

about him.

Are you talking about Chun Jong Bum?

Please start thinking about getting surgery.

If the bullet in your brain moves inward,

you might die right away.

(PULSE)

I was just about to call you.

We made a connection.

You're right. We did.

I was worried about how you were doing after I left yesterday.

Where are you?

You're not supposed to move around.

You can't nag at me when you left a sick person to meet a man.

Anyway,

I'll send you the address.

Let me know when you're done with work.

Sure.

This is beautiful.

It's pretty.

These trees were abandoned...

by the urban development site.

They moved the trees here...

and this became a tree orphanage.

A tree orphanage?

That tree was weak...

and feeble before coming to the tree orphanage.

So the rotten stems were cut down.

They attached an artificial bark to the tree.

It was almost abandoned...

when it could've grown this big.

You told me...

primitive tribes tied ribbons...

around the tree to make a wish.

Do you think the wish will come true even if the ribbon was tied...

around a wounded tree?

What's your wish?

Revenge...

and...

Soccer has something called injury-time.

The game may have ended,

but it's the final time given by the chief referee.

The winner might feel uneasy,

but the loser can make one last turn of events.

If I had an injury-time in my life,

I'm thinking about what I would do.

An injury-time?

Why, you...

You've got a future ahead of you. Why are you talking about that?

Tell me about your wish.

I'll wish for it together from now on.

I've only loved one woman...

during my two lives.

Won't you...

give me a chance just once?

(Born Again)

I've found a way to kill all three of them.

Gong Ji Chul, I'm sorry.

Are you sure she's Baek Sang Ah?

I remember the suspect's face very clearly.

I'm going to do everything I can for you.

The more you press on, it's putting Jung Sa Bin in danger.

Kim Su Hyuk, you should take care of this.

I'll bring it all back to its place and come back to you.

I'm going to make you remember me first.
