Mr. Im, I didn't know you were so sentimental.

It's not that.

I heard the restaurant that a lot of my clients

go to is around here, so I dropped by.

Goodness, I don't even know how many years it's been since I came here.

You've been pretty busy.

That's true,

but strangely enough, when I come near this place, all my happiness gets sucked away.

That's why I don't really come here.

That's unexpected.

I didn't know someone bold like you would have such a humane side.

- Really? - Yes.

But thanks to you, I was able to come here.

Some people just get along with each other.

- Don't you think so? - Yes.

And speaking of which,

I wanted to ask you...

You heard that Cho Kyung-ho ran away, didn't you?

Yes, that's what I wanted to discuss with you today.

Let's go.

There's something I need you to do for me.

Sure, just say the word.

It's simple.

Just drag that man Choi Hyung-in into this.

Hometown: Cho Kyung-ho

(Episode 10)

Mr. Cho, did you get a good night's sleep?

Was it hot all night? I find this room to be particularly hot.

- It was fine. - Really?

After today's examination, you'll be able to move to a

regular hospital room the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Instead, we'll have to run a lot of tests today.

Is that alright?

Yes, it doesn't matter.

Okay, you should eat breakfast first.

Today's menu is pretty good.

Cho Kyung-ho has disappeared.

Even though he was thoroughly monitored and controlled 24 hours a day,

he escaped less than three days after transferring to a treatment center.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Why are you...

telling me about Cho Kyung-ho running away

while digging into Guru's identity?

No matter how much I think about it, it's strange.

Didn't the prosecution decide that these events in Saju

happened because of the members of Youngjingyo?

In order to do that, it would be much easier to

narrow down Guru's identity to Jung Young-seob.

As I mentioned before, the fact that their leader is proxy

Jung Young-seob is not right in many circumstances.

So you want to know the truth?

Of course.

How did Cho Kyung-ho run away again?

Pardon?

Three nurses.

One custodian.

One prison guard.

He stabbed five people... No, wait.

Including the nurse who is currently in critical

condition, he harmed a total of six people.

He did such a ridiculous thing by himself and escaped the place?

I'd like to ask you...

While doing this job,

how many people have you seen who can pull off something like this?

Let me repeat myself.

I've met Guru.

If that person is not a Guru,

the name Guru may be nothing more than a shell.

People can exist...

without names.

Of course...

even if he's not just an ordinary person.

Not feeling the best, are you?

I heard that the symptoms worsen when you first take the medication.

Try this.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Do you think I'm giving you poison?

It's an ion sports drink.

If you drink it, you'll feel much better.

You won't feel thirsty for a while.

So drink when you can.

May I borrow a pair of scissors?

- Scissors? - Yes.

Here.

No one told you?

Told me about what?

About me.

Well...

is there something I should know?

Tell me.

Did you hear about me?

Yes, I heard about you before you came here.

It was like a warning.

They told me not to go too close to you and not to talk to you.

So why are you acting like this?

Aren't you afraid of death?

I don't know. I've never thought about it before.

However, I'm not afraid of you.

You're not death itself.

Hmm. Really?

No.

Even if you are death itself,

I'd be the same way.

I'll treat you the same way as the other prisoners here.

That's the reason I work here.

Why are you smiling?

It's just that...

you remind me of someone.

Can I ask who that is?

A woman who died a long time ago.

That's all.

She said...

something similar to what you said.

The reason you're not afraid of death...

is because you can't see it right away.

But what do you think will happen if the situation changes?

What if death comes right before you and waits for you?

What if you...

see it...

with your own eyes?

Choi Hyung-in.

When you first heard that name, you saw the end of the future.

After seeing him shoot himself in the head with a pistol,

I see that every day.

Let me ask you again.

Are you afraid of death?

Are you afraid of me?

(Busan District Prosecutors' Office)

Damn it.

Cho Kyung-ho has disappeared.

Even the prosecution has no idea where he is right now.

- I see. - The last place he was at...

was a treatment center.

A treatment center?

Prisoners with serious mental and physical disability

end up at mental health treatment facilities.

Of course, it's only in special cases.

I see.

I don't know how he got there, but I think we'll find out something if we go there.

Are you all right?

You haven't even recovered yet.

I think you're pushing yourself too hard.

No.

There's no time to waste. He's too dangerous.

We must find Cho Kyung-ho as soon as possible.

All right.

So? Is no one around?

Yeah, you can come out.

Wow.

It's my first time here.

It's amazing.

Shi-young?

What's wrong?

Huh? I'm sorry.

Let's go to the storage behind the kitchen.

The exit is over there.

Go in here.

It's so dark, isn't it?

Yeah. Be careful.

It's too dark.

I'm sorry, Jae-young.

Shi-young.

What's wrong with you? Stop playing around!

This video was the beginning. It made me come all the way here.

And for the rest of my life,

I've been hanging on to every word he said.

Out of all the people who watched the video,

I'm the only one left.

Do you believe that?

Guru has come out.

Soon, the day of purification will come.

But...

what are you doing at this important time?

Did you really think that you could secretly escape like a rat?

While breaking your promise to us?

You people broke the promise first.

Didn't you say my aunt would be safe if I stayed here?

I kept my promise.

The problem is that Cho Jung-hyun kept acting unexpectedly.

Excuses.

I can no longer trust your words.

You can't trust me?

Why not?

What are you going to do about it?

What can you do? Huh?

If not for me, you would've already been dead!

Guru's daughter or not, you're nothing!

What are you doing?

There's nothing I can do?

Is that what you really think?

What if something happens to me? And Guru finds out about it?

Who do you think will be in a tough spot then?

Huh?

Give me the knife.

No. Not until you promise me.

Promise you what?

If something happens to my aunt one more time,

I'll get out of here no matter what.

Even if I have to cut my throat and become a corpse, I'll leave this place.

Please put that down.

All right.

I understand.

I'll do as you say.

So please...

put the knife down.

I feel bad.

For all of you.

Please make it as brief as possible.

As you can see, the patient's stability comes first.

All right.

Hello, Mr. Kim Hae-yeon.

I'm from the MIU.

I have a few questions to ask you.

I know it's hard, but I think it'll be helpful if you answer as much as you can.

We heard that you were in charge of Cho Kyung-ho.

Your colleagues told me you've been in direct contact with him.

If you've ever talked to Cho Kyung-ho, is there anything you can tell us?

It's okay if it's something trivial.

Didn't he do something unusual?

Like maybe he showed you a lighter?

Are you...

Choi Hyung-in?

How do you know my name?

He said he would spare my life but that I would have to tell you this.

"Everything is exactly what I said."

"I'll be waiting for you..."

"at the place where our daughter was born."

Mr. Choi, if it's all right with you, I'd like to speak with you.

Sure.

The hot cocoa here is great.

I hope you don't pay too much...

attention to what Cho Kyung-ho said earlier.

We'll stick to our original plan and focus on finding Cho Jung-hyun.

Okay.

What does Youngjingyo mean by...

the "end of the future"?

What's so great about it that they want to drag us there?

To be honest,

I want to see what that is.

Sorry. I'm being silly.

It's fine.

Then I'll come back in the morning.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I can take this off in a few days, so I hope you'll bear with me until then.

No, I'm grateful that you're helping me with this on your day off.

I want to be your chauffeur.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Can you tell Shi-young something for me?

He's the boy who used to bring me my meals.

It's nothing much.

Just tell him this.

Shi-young.

I don't resent you.

So I hope you won't have a hard time because of me.

I don't regret it.

Thank you so much for being my friend.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

Do you know what the future means...

to Youngjingyo?

The Day of Purification is when

we all hold hands and face an honorable death.

Is what happened in the purification plant related to that?

Oh, that is just the beginning.

The only goal of the proxy and the people around him...

is to gain true salvation by sharing the future with Guru.

Isn't that such an old-fashioned nonsense?

At a time when the new Millennium is approaching, how outdated is that?

So, you came to me

at the perfect time.

Since Guru came out into the world, once he

arrives, the Day of Purification will begin.

If that happens, your niece who was named as the successor won't be safe, you know?

- It's fascinating. - What is?

It's a top secret that Cho Kyung-ho escaped,

but can you talk about it so easily?

When I thought about it, it was strange.

I didn't know why you approached me.

No matter how much you pretend you're not,

you're bound to be on the same team as Youngjingyo.

But now, I think I kind of know.

You want to use me to drive out the proxy.

My goodness, if someone hears you, they'll misunderstand.

I told you.

I'm just saying that we should work together

to benefit each other from a practical level.

If you don't like it, you can walk out that door right now.

The truth is, I can understand you more psychologically.

Who would want to walk in there on their own free will?

Even if you back out now, no one will blame you.

I don't believe you.

However, I know there's no other choice.

I don't want to change this plan.

Oh, really?

Then that's good.

But...

I'm just asking...

Why are you really doing this?

The situation has changed,

so I can't guarantee your safety once you go in there.

Are you afraid of dying?

Why would you suddenly ask me that?

I'm afraid of dying.

When I think about the people who will be left behind after I die,

it breaks my heart...

to think how they'll be sad.

That's the only reason...

I'm afraid of death.

You won't know how that feels.

Because a person like you...

has never loved anyone other than yourself.

- Yes, sir? - Get the car ready.

My guest and I are going somewhere.

We should leave before it rains.

Wait!

Mister, are you okay?

Where are you heading? We're going towards the city.

It's raining a lot, so there's nothing to see there.

Think about it and let me know if you change your mind.

I can take you to the terminal.

No, it's fine.

Please drop me off at the place I mentioned earlier.

Do you want to use this?

Mister, you're a security guard, aren't you?

I knew it because of your hat.

I'm good at guessing things like that.

Seok-hyeon, face forward and stop bothering him.

Where do you live?

I'm not sure.

Where's your house?

My house?

I don't have one.

You don't?

- Why not? - Seok-hyeon, that's enough.

I told you to stop pestering him.

No, it's fine.

He has way too many questions. You don't have to answer them.

I never had a house.

Then what about your family?

Family?

I guess family and home are the most important things to you.

Yes! Isn't that the same for you?

I'm not sure.

- Everyone around me disappeared. - Disappeared?

Where did they go?

I don't know. It's been like that. People who are with me usually disappear.

You asked me to drop you off before Central Market, right?

- Yes. - I think we're almost there.

Seok-hyeon, I warned you to stop.

Okay.

- Are you good at whistling? - Whistling?

Should I whistle for you?

Yes, please!

Mister, you're actually searching for your family because you miss them...

right?

I hope you find them.

I really won't say anything anymore, so please whistle.

- No. - What? Why not?

Do you not want to do it anymore because I'm bothering you?

I just changed my mind.

Here.

Bye, mister!

Did Professor Jang send you?

Yes. Are you Dr. Lee?

Yes.

You're new. I've never seen you before.

- This is from Professor Jang. - I see.

Excuse me!

Is anybody out there?

Excuse me! Please open the door! Help!

Excuse me!

Excuse me! Help me!

I'm trapped in here! Please open the door!

Is anyone there! Please help me! Open the door!

Excuse me!

Who are you?

Oh, you're the detective, right?

She's not the type of person who would forget her plans.

I wonder why she didn't show up without telling you.

Jung-hyun. Are you still asleep?

(To Mom and Detective Choi Hyung-in)

Mom, I'm sorry.

There isn't much time left, and this is the only way.

I was always proud of you, mom.

You will always be my hero.

Please forgive me for not being honest.

Mom, I have one last request.

Please give this letter to Detective Choi Hyung-in.

I need to give the address below to him.

Please tell him that I'm sorry and that I'm grateful to him.

And tell him to take care of the rest.

I hope he will rescue Jae-young.

You're not going to jump, are you?

I've been using this place as my hideout for over 10 years.

Please don't cause any trouble.

If you're going to die, do it somewhere else.

Jeez.

Do you want a cup of coffee?

Who are you?

Dr. Lee.

What brings you here?

Come in. You're getting all wet.

My house is a mess, isn't it?

All the old and single people live like this.

Did Professor Jang tell you about it? Go on, have a seat.

Have some tea while you're here.

I was about to have a cup by myself.

Oh, I see. You're here about Kim Hwan-gyu, aren't you?

Then don't beat around the bush.

I don't have anything else to say about the matter.

I was just about to call my grandson to come visit me.

No, I'm not here because of Kim Hwan-gyu.

Really? Then what's this about?

How'd you know my address?

You just mentioned Professor Jang.

Are you talking about the one from Skull Gang?

Do you know...

what people call me?

Human Butcher.

That nickname is the only thing left for a public official

who sacrificed and devoted his entire life to the nation.

But one day, that person suddenly appeared in front of me.

He said he'd erase my past

and now he's letting me live like a human being.

I've never met him in person.

He only talked to me through Professor Jang.

Guru.

Do you call him that, too?

Tell me.

Why are you here?

Where are you from?

I don't think you're from around here.

Well, that's not important.

When I was young, all I did was work,

so when I grew older, I wandered a lot.

After my wife died, I felt empty.

I wonder why I lived so tenaciously.

Do you have any children?

I do. I had a son late.

He's sleeping over there.

It must be boring, but he always comes to keep me company.

I'm really grateful to him.

That's why I like this place.

No one comes here because the fish don't bite.

It's perfect to spend time talking with my son.

No.

You had two more kids.

What? What do you mean?

You had a son and a daughter.

You sold them off to One Family Welfare Center.

I came to see you because the person I'm looking for is here.

I didn't hear that someone would come here.

Really?

Then perhaps you or Professor Jang are hiding something.

What?

What are you trying to say?

Is that video in there?

A white wall, red circle, and an upside down woman.

Did you watch it before I came here?

And if I did?

Is that important?

Listen to me carefully.

That person called Professor Jang is only going to use you until today.

That's why they made you see that video.

And as far as I know, since you've seen that video,

you're probably not in your right mind.

That means you could die.

And as far as I know, since you've seen that video,

you're probably not in your right mind.

That means you could die.

I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life.

You expect me to believe that nonsense?

It doesn't matter if you don't.

I don't care whether you die or live.

But if you cooperate with me, I can help you.

I can help you avoid the worst-case scenario.

There's no time. Make your decision now.

Will you save your life by answering my question or die

a pathetic death according to the great will of Guru?

Are you hiding anything behind that bookshelf?

There's no way you, who's crazy about books,

will use the bookshelf like that.

You would've tried to squeeze all the books in there.

And it wouldn't have been easy because of the weight.

Did you lock Cho Jae-young up...

in there?

Damn it.

I should've burned this house down a long time ago.

Answer my question!

I'm an artist.

An artist who induces the truth.

Do you think I'll die that easily?

You see her,

don't you?

- What? - That woman.

You see that woman, don't you?

You bastard. What have you done to me?

Answer me! Did you imprison Cho Jae-young?

Lie. This is all a lie.

- Answer me! - There's no way this is real.

He would never abandon me.

I was chosen!

Damn it.

Detective.

Can you tell me your name?

Did you know...

that in the hellish One Family Welfare Center...

we were the only kids...

who had been sold by their parents?

You're really pathetic.

I can't believe you made such a foolish decision.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I was out of my mind back then.

I was crazy.

How could I do that to you two?

No, you're wrong.

That's not what I'm talking about, you fool.

Why did you sell us? It's dangerous. You should've just killed us.

You should've killed me first and then my sister.

After strangling us one by one, you should've

buried us in a place where no one knows.

You ended up here because of...

your pathetic judgment.

You can't die whenever you want now.

I'll ask you one last question.

Human Butcher.

Do you regret too?

If I regret,

what happens then?

Then will the dead come back alive?

Were you any different from me?

Just because you have no memories

doesn't make you any better than me!

This is the only way now.

If I do this,

at least you won't kill your grandson with your own hands.

Don't close your eyes!

Your sins have come back to you!

Jeez, those barbarians.

Just look at them.

Should I stop the car?

Of course. We didn't do anything wrong.

My apologies.

You gave Mr. Lee the tape, right?

Yes, I gave it to him without any problems.

Good.

Why are you all getting so worked up?

This won't change what has already been decided!

How dare you go against his decision?

Did you forget who Guru is? Did you?

Bring her!

You're committing heresy!

I don't know how they can be so bold when they didn't

do anything at the purification plant that day!

Let's go inside.

Don't be afraid.

- I'm... - I know.

- What? - I know who you are.

Let's hurry up and get out of here.

What are you doing?

Open the door.

You little punk. Didn't you hear what I said?

Where's the key?

Please calm down. You shouldn't do this.

- Please let go. - You crazy bastard!

Just look at them!

That's enough! Stop it!

Thank you. Thank you.

Grandma.

Don't cry!

I'm sorry.

I wanted to protect Aunt Jung-hyun, but I couldn't.

(Sook Banjum Chinese Cuisine)

Isn't it incredible?

Is it because you're dressed like that?

They were pretty intimidated.

Now does it feel real to you? Ms. New Successor?

So this is where Jae-young was.

She was trapped in here...

during all that time.

Maybe everything has finally...

found its place.

No matter how hard we try to ignore it...

we're the ones...

who started this.

(Sook Banjum Chinese Cuisine)

Were you any different from me?

Just because you have no memories doesn't make you any better than me!

The cases about the students of the welfare center running

away should end with Cho Kyung-ho and his family, got it?

(Sook Banjum Chinese Cuisine)

This scumbag.

Hey, wake up.

Did you realize something?

Doesn't being upside down help you change your view?

Maybe it helps you achieve something like philosophical enlightenment.

There is more than enough evidence of what you did

to the students at One Family Welfare Center.

Kidnapping, confinement, abuse.

I heard that you buried the kids you beat to death all over the hills.

Are you an animal or what?

Damn it.

- Rookie, shut the door. - Yes, sir.

Most of the witnesses said that you were in charge.

- You know that? - Mr. Cho Kyung-ho.

Answer, goddamnit!

Mr. Cho Kyung-ho!

Jeez, let's end it already. Got it?

Se-yoon!

Subtitles from: OnDemandKorea Edited by: ayamefan13

(Hometown)

Why did you want to come here?

Cho Kyung-ho.

I'm all ready now.

He told me he'd tell me about my mom.

It's time to come back home.

We might be able to find out where my aunt is right now.

Do you think all this is important enough to trade for your life?

That's what Kyung-ho wanted to say to me.

I keep seeing your end.
