Number one.
(Episode 12)
We promised...
never to forget each other even when we grow up.
But I recognized you too late.
I'm sorry.
Byeol.
Why did you always give me the star candies?
They were the most delicious ones.
You failed to become an owner of a supermarket in the end.
Popeye.
Do you remember everything now?
It was you.
You're Popeye.
(Staff Only)
You instigated Han Sang Gu to kill Jae In's sister.
Popeye, the henchman of Mr. Baek,
Mr. Wang, and Guk Han Ju was you?
Byeol.
Was that why you approached me?
Did you deceive us pretending to cooperate with us?
Who are you trying to kill this time?
Please listen to me.
Do you want to kill me?
If you want, just kill me.
Don't come closer.
Not a step closer...
This is where my heart is.
Stab it as hard as you can.
Byeol.
A scalpel.
What is it? Is there a fire?
It seems to be malfunctioning. Please start the operation.
This way.
Ah Hyun. Run.
- Why? What's the matter? - Just run for now.
Let's go.
Surprise.
Cheon Jae In, you little...
You're under arrest...
for child abduction and for brokering organs illegally.
Mr. Baek Do Kyu...
and the daughter, Ms. Baek Ah Hyun.
Get your hands off of me.
- How dare you? You know who I am? - Dad.
Of course I know who you are. You're a dad of a bad daughter.
It's said that your children...
make you happy only until they are four years old.
Drag her.
- Ah Hyun. - Dad.
So how do you feel now, Mr. Baek.
If you lay a finger on her,
I'll kill you myself.
You love your child so much,
but when your daughter was toying with someone else's children,
you just sat by and watched?
What do you guys...
think of a human life?
Is this all you can do with it whether it's yours or others?
I...
already died once...
on the day you disappeared.
Look carefully.
It's not me, but you who killed them.
No. It's your fault.
It's your fault.
Do you want to die too?
It's not...
that difficult to die.
It's your decision.
I decided...
to live...
because I had to wait for you.
I waited for you every day,
but you didn't come.
You didn't come to me.
Don't blame others...
or the world.
If you decided to survive,
at least you should have lived in the right way.
You're right, but...
It took only a moment for a human to turn into a beast,
whereas it was really hard for a beast...
to return to a human.
Don't say that.
Tell me what the jerks are up to.
Guk Han Ju will become king,
and Mr. Wang will be Jesus who returns to the earth.
No one can stop them.
You confess yourself...
what you just said, who you really are,
and what evil deeds they did, and everything.
I promise.
I have a bone...
to pick with them too.
Instead,
give me some time.
How can I trust you and do that?
You said...
you saw Apollo die.
I need to prepare something so I can survive.
I want to stay alive for the first time...
now that I found you like this.
Three days.
I will give you just three days, prosecutor Ju Ha Min.
If you don't bring me the evidence that will prove their crime by then,
I'll arrest you with my own hands.
Yes, Jae In.
You found Han Sol?
I need time.
They started to look for you,
Byeol.
Yes. We arrested them all.
Okay. I got it.
- Come this way. - Hurry up.
Get in.
Get in now.
I didn't know the spell "number one" would really work.
I've never said anything I can't take responsibility in my life.
You believe my IQ score now, don't you?
Yes, I do. 167.
You're cooler than David who defeated Goliath.
Those who punish bad guys...
are not heroes or spirits from the Bible,
but people who bravely fight against them.
Look over there.
This is why I became a cop.
This is why I believe that justice will prevail.
The children are all safe. Yes.
Okay.
Hey, here they are.
(The late Cheon Su In)
It's a letter.
"Su In, how have you been?"
Don't read it out loud.
It's embarrassing.
"Spring has come, my sister."
"But recently with the wind from the northwest,"
"fine dust from China is coming into the country,"
"so the fine dust concentration in Seoul is 52 microgram per..."
What is this?
You're a journalist after all,
so you should know what's going on in the country too.
"I'm trying to find the truth..."
"you risked your life to reveal."
"For the 31 people who died without any proper reasons,"
"the children who were abused and abandoned,"
"and you,"
"I'll make sure they will pay for their sin."
You trust me, right?
Of course I do.
"And the girl you were looking for is next to me now."
Really? Did you find her?
I found her.
She became a detective,
and she respects me a lot.
Is she pretty?
Yes,
she is pretty.
I'm relieved...
that someone is beside you.
I was worried about you the most.
Do you think I'm a child?
This letter...
I like everything about it,
but there is one more thing you should do.
It is to protect yourself from those jerks.
If you get hurt, I won't forgive you.
Good boy, my brother.
You're not leaving today.
You turned away coldly the other day.
I should get going.
Did you kiss her?
Did you?
I think you did. You did, right?
Please tell me.
Did you like it?
Yes, I did.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
All those related to the incident were indicted,
and the children were urgently sent to a safe place.
Good job.
Why do we not arrest Mr. Baek...
when the pastor is arrested too?
It's a matter of time before the pastor is released.
He will probably deny everything.
I don't know anything about it.
I just teach the children about the Bible,
but I'm not directly involved in the affairs of the orphanage.
Does that make sense, Mr. Wang?
Did my attorney arrive?
Then what should we do? What if he escapes again this time?
That's why I didn't arrest Mr. Baek.
Because his precious only daughter is arrested,
he won't just sit by and watch.
Are you trying to use Mr. Baek as bait...
to catch Mr. Wang and Guk Han Ju all together?
Next week, we're planning to go campaigning in Daegu...
where the approval rating is relatively low.
Welcome, Mr. Baek.
I don't think it's time for you to make plans on your campaign now.
Will you leave us alone?
How are you going to take responsibility?
Responsibility?
I'm talking about my daughter Ah Hyun.
She's in that state while she was helping you.
There is less than one month left until the election.
Please be patient.
Patient?
I met my attorneys on the way here.
They said it'll be hard for her to get released once she's indicted.
Trust me, Mr. Baek.
Hey, Mr. Guk.
The one you should never trust while doing business is...
someone who says to trust himself.
Get Ah Hyun out of there.
For goodness' sake.
24 years ago, I sacrificed myself for the two of you,
but you can't make my daughter do it.
If Ah Hyun gets hurt,
all of us will have to die Do you understand?
You're talking as if you were holding me in leash or something.
Keep what I said in mind.
Prosecutor Ju.
Yes. Mr. Baek was here.
Okay.
Mr. Wang was released a moment ago.
Ah Hyun is remaining silent.
She grew up sheltered,
so she won't be able to hold out behind bars even for a week.
We should get her out of there...
so she won't cause bigger trouble by dragging me in there too.
But there is no way to take her out now.
Getting her out of there...
doesn't necessarily mean that she has to be alive.
It's snowing.
When I see snowflakes, I become so hungry...
because they look like rice powder.
Speaking of which,
let's have a meal with real rice together someday.
Weren't you scared...
on the island where such a tragedy happened?
What was your childhood like?
It's good then...
because there is a reason you should watch the next episode now.
If you're curious, see me again later.
It's a health bracelet.
The design is pretty, and the anion coming from this...
is very good for your blood circulation.
So it's very good for your health.
Do you...want to put it on?
I don't know what I'm doing when I'm coming to my own place.
What took you so long to come from the parking lot?
I had to come in quite long after you did.
- Why? - "Why"?
What if words get out that you and I live together?
You may think it's okay,
but I can't leave any blemish on my clean and pure profile.
Jae In, do you still suspect...
that prosecutor Ju is Popeye?
I thought he was wicked inside,
but he seemed to be truthful...
when Han Sol went missing.
Why do you ask?
The thing is...
I promise.
Instead,
give me some time.
No. It's nothing.
Hey.
Come here for a moment.
Multivitamins, vitamin B, vitamin C,
zinc, folic acid, iron, and minerals are all in here.
And this is what's the most important.
It helps eliminate harmful bacteria and waste from your intestines.
You could be violent...
because of constipation.
Take all of them.
If I pass out one more time,
you might open a pharmacy or something.
Why the long face?
My dad was just like this.
He gave me tonics and nagged me every day.
I wonder what he's doing now.
Does he sleep well?
If you're curious, why don't you call him?
I'm not ready to do that in my mind.
Do you think there will be a better time to do that?
You may regret it later.
Gosh, it's hot.
- Dad. - Yes.
Dad.
When can I get out of here?
What's wrong with your face?
Have you eaten? Aren't you cold?
I asked when I can get out of here.
I met Mr. Guk.
Hang in there for a bit.
No. I don't want to.
I can't hang in here even one more day.
Ah Hyun.
I think someone is trying to kill me.
What are you talking about?
- Who would... - It's true.
I'm going to die if I stay here.
Ah Hyun,
listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you now.
Don't trust anyone.
Not only those in the lockup,
but also cops.
Do not eat what they give you.
Eat only what I send to you.
Dad.
I'm so scared.
Stop whining.
You have to protect yourself in here.
I will...
make sure to get you out of here, okay?
Go find this jerk.
Do not care about how much money...
you need or how many people should be killed.
Look for him.
Someone left this on the information desk.
Who?
I'm not sure.
I hardly wrote a letter,
so I don't know what I should say.
Do you eat properly?
I just...
made a few dishes you like.
I'm sorry...
for lying to you for those years.
But I won't make excuses.
If you become a parent someday,
I guess you'll figure out how I'd feel.
Dan.
Just calling your name makes me tear up, my daughter Dan.
I'm sorry that a man like me that's not good enough is your dad.
And thank you for being my daughter.
Hello, sir. This is Dan.
Is my dad there?
Mr. Kim?
He called me this morning and said he'd quit all of a sudden.
Today?
Dad.
Gosh. I don't care.
Hello.
Who is this?
Detective Cheon Jae In.
Mr. Baek Do Kyu?
Now, I started to like your voice tone.
Why do you pick up Dan's phone?
Why do you think?
To get my daughter released,
I'm protesting.
Are you a stupid man like this?
Do you think this will make her released?
You'll probably end up in the same jail with her.
Gosh. Do you think a businessman would...
try to make a deal that recklessly?
And in fact,
my target is not her.
Then?
There is some stuff I'm trying to find.
Her dad has it.
Stuff?
So from now...
Let me hear Dan's voice first.
Don't cut in and just listen.
Her voice first.
Dan!
Listen up.
Don't talk back. That's irritating.
Tell her dad...
to bring my stuff.
I'll give you exactly five hours from now.
Well, what is that stuff?
He says it's a videotape.
I don't know what it's in there.
A tape?
Whatever it is,
we should give it to him quickly and rescue Dan.
I can't contact her dad.
- We should call the police and... - We can't.
Detective Dan will be in danger then.
So what is your plan?
I'm planning to rescue Dan...
and keep the videotape too.
Considering Mr. Baek even did such a thing, it'll be so important.
I need to watch it.
What about Dan?
He won't release her without the tape.
So I need everyone's help for this strategy.
Detective Choi, please track the cellphone first.
Okay. I'll track Dan's location right away.
I think I know where Dan is,
so track Dan's dad's cellphone.
And detective, please go to Cheonggyecheon now.
Okay.
Where is the other one?
You mean Do Hun?
I think he already carried out the operation.
Gosh.
Baek Ah Hyun.
Dad!
Ah... Ah Hyun!
Ask Detective Cheon Jae In about more details.
Are you crazy?
The thing is I wanted to make you feel cool.
I'm sorry.
(Kim Dan)
It's Mr. Baek. Answer it.
(Kim Dan)
You jerk, what did you do to my daughter...
This little...
What are you doing now?
(Kim Dan)
Hey, Cheon Jae In, you jerk...
What do you think you're doing?
Well,
do you want to save Dan or not?
Mr. Baek has a strong desire to dominate and control.
I want to...
break the balance of his sense about that first.
Ah Hyun is the beginning of it.
I bet he's confused now...
because he thought he got the upper hand in the plan,
but a new factor called his daughter appeared.
Please don't provoke him.
He could do anything.
I want to take the initiative of the negotiation from him...
that he thinks he has.
Well, but...
what if Dan gets killed or hurt?
Dan is not a girl who would crumble so easily.
And the purpose of this abduction is the tape,
not Dan's life.
Please...
hang in there a little longer, Dan.
Are you smiling?
Why don't you smile again?
Can't I even smile? You're the one who did the funny thing.
All right.
What do you think is so funny?
You're trying hard and that's pathetic.
You will never beat...
Jae In even in your next life with your brain.
Since when have Korean cops...
been acting up like this?
You're even worse than dirt on my feet.
You should know your place.
I got it.
This will do.
What are you going to do now?
We have to negotiate.
Negotiate?
You have to find the real tape.
Does it mean you trust me?
No. I was called a human lie detector.
So I trust my judgment.
Make sure to bring...
Detective Dan.
Detective Choi, if I don't come out even after two hours,
request assistance from Special Crime Squad.
Okay, I will.
A boy... The Year of the Tiger...
What? What is she babbling?
A boy born in the Year of the Tiger.
You had a son before you had your daughter.
How pitiful.
He was born in the Year of the Tiger,
but died before he turned two.
How...do you know...
He was cursed by the deceased at a funeral.
Why did you go to a funeral...
with that little child?
Who... Who are you?
What are you?
All your karma is affecting your children.
Stop it.
Otherwise, your daughter, your only child left, will die too.
Who... What are you?
What on earth are you?
Tell me. How do you know that?
What do you mean?
You just said that right now.
What are you talking about? I didn't say anything.
Sir.
Get this wench out of my sight.
Stand up.
The tape?
Let me see Dan first.
I have to check the videotape first.
Is that...
blood type O?
The woman I know?
The videotape.
Did you think I'd bring it...
when I came here unarmed?
You don't think I'm that stupid, right?
Where is it?
I'll take you there myself after seeing Dan.
Stop trying to play tricks.
How would I know if that's a lie or not?
You have various kinds of weapons, don't you?
If it's a lie, kill me on that spot.
Jae In?
- Are you okay? - I thought you'd come.
What the... Didn't you come to rescue me?
No. I was caught too.
I said I came here unarmed.
Get your hands off of my butt!
Why did you come? It's too dangerous.
I wanted to stand out.
I didn't want you to get all the attention alone.
- Get out now. - Hang in there.
I'll be right back after giving him the tape.
The tape? Did you find my dad?
Get out.
What about the surveillance camera footage?
- Oh, I get it. - Oh!
I located Dan's dad.
Where is he?
Well, he is...
in Chunin Church.
It's been a long time, Deacon Kim.
Has it been 24 years?
Don't call me by that name.
You grew much older for those years,
and your piety has gone wrong too.
How could you bring...
this evil thing into the church of the Lord?
What is it that you want?
I don't want to make a deal with you jerks.
I came here to end it, Mr. Wang.
I wanted to hide and live quietly until I die.
Before you let him knock at my door,
you should have given it a second thought.
You know very well who I am...
and what kind of person I am.
You were a spy from North Korea and became a ghostlike soldier.
You were just like an ex-con.
Who was the one that wiped the blood on your dirty hands?
Try to remember it carefully.
I didn't have a military service number nor had I a rank.
After I lost one of my legs,
I realized just this one thing.
That I will kill at the risk of my life.
If the Judgment Day comes,
you'll be the first one...
to be thrown to the netherworld.
The netherworld doesn't sound bad.
Let's go together, Mr. Wang.
I missed him on purpose.
But...
I won't this time.
She grew up to be a pretty girl.
She is...
the girl, right?
The granddaughter of the shaman.
No.
You're not even her real dad, but the wench...
Dan is my daughter!
What did you do after you took her?
Shut it.
Stop, sir.
Who are you?
I'm Prosecutor Ju Ha Min...
from Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
Don't come closer.
I'm working with Detective Kim Dan.
With...
my Dan?
Why did a prosecutor come here?
First, please put the gun down, sir.
If you don't want to get hurt, get out.
Don't meddle in.
Your daughter's life is in danger now.
She's caught as a hostage instead of you.
I mean Dan is.
What are you...
talking about?
Mr. Baek...
is taking your daughter hostage.
That jerk...
is doing it to my Dan?
Where is she now?
Jae In went there.
I came here after locating you.
I asked where she is.
Please calm down and listen to me.
Mr. Baek is demanding...
a certain videotape from you...
as a condition of releasing your daughter.
A videotape?
What is...
in the tape?
You have to tell me that.
The real criminals...
of the Heaven's Door Case.
It's all recorded in there.
What these jerks actually did.
Mr. Baek filmed it just in case.
I see.
We have to take the tape to them...
to save your daughter's life.
Where is...
the tape now?
Where is Deacon Kim?
He wouldn't give up...
the tape that easily.
It's the same as what you do.
He's a father after all.
To save his child,
a father could do anything.
Turn to the alley on the right ahead.
(Video Room, Karaoke)
Did you find Dan's father?
Yes, he's next to me.
Oh, Dan can stay alive then. She's safe now.
What about the tape?
We're on the way to get it.
Hasn't Jae In called you yet?
He hasn't. Please hurry up.
There are less than 30 minutes left until the time Mr. Baek said.
I get it.
If we give the tape, my Dan will be safe, right?
She will be.
We have to make sure she will.
Is there a tape where that is recorded?
Mr. Baek is bolder than he seems to be.
The tape...
will be in our hands soon.
Deacon Kim...
doesn't know yet who Ha Min is.
We're here to take the videotape.
Oh, okay.
Release Dan as you promised.
It's me. The female detective...
Make her faint and get her in the car.
If it turns out this punk pulled a stunt,
throw her into the sea off Incheon.
What are you doing?
Where can I watch it?
In that room.
This is all I can do to gain time.
If Prosecutor Ju can't find the real tape quickly...
(PIN number)
(Confirm)
- Is this it? - Yes.
Please call Mr. Baek quickly and rescue my Dan.
Yes, I got the tape, Mr. Guk.
What...
It's been a long time,
Deacon Kim.
Can't you do it faster?
It's been a few years since we last used it.
So it is...
You little...
What do you think you're doing?
How much do you trust these guys?
Enough to share the secret in the tape?
Send them out so only the minimum number of people can stay here.
If you try to pull a stunt,
you and that wench will be killed.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Kim's English World.
Today's expression is about being tricked.
Don't fall for it.
It must be a trick that he played.
Don't be tricked.
It must be cheating.
Everyone, if you...
- only think "fall" as... - You brat.
You jerk.
You rat.
I'm going to kill you.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Jae In.
We're right on time, right?
Good timing. What about Dan?
Hurry up.
Hey, stop.
Dan, you are safe.
Didn't you get hurt?
What about my dad? Did you find him?
Sure.
What a relief.
Prosecutor Ju Ha Min went to see your dad.
Prosecutor Ju?
Yes.
With whom?
He went alone.
What?
I feel hurt.
I've never forgotten you for all those years, but you have.
Who are you?
In Heaven's Door Welfare Facility,
I was called Popeye.
Popeye?
There are exactly 100 sheets.
Step aside.
I won't forgive you.
When I grow up,
I'll make sure to find you and kill you.
Violence is like alcohol.
You get drunk on it.
Once you get drunk, you can't control.
That was...
Back then...
Back then what? You couldn't help it?
I was surprised...
that lowlife like you...
raised a kid...
and was acting like a good dad.
I...
We...
were never able to have that kind of ordinary life, but you enjoyed it.
But why did it have to be her?
Does your daughter know...
who you are?
What will you do?
Are you going to beat me like a beast...
like you did back then?
Forgive me. Please forgive me.
Don't apologize so easily like that.
Please.
I'll sacrifice my life to apologize,
so please save my Dan.
I beg you to save her.
(Detective Kim Dan)
Fortunately, it seems like Detective Kim is safe.
Dan...
Thank you.
Your daughter is alive as you hoped,
so I'll take this tape with me.
(Prosecutor Ju Ha Min)
(My dad)
Dad. Dad?
Are you okay?
I'm okay. What about you?
Where are you now? Are you with Prosecutor Ju?
No. I'm alone.
Where are you?
The path we would walk along often.
I heard you found the tape.
- Yes. - You did a good job.
This operation was a great success.
We're not close enough to do this, right?
Well,
let me see the tape.
I don't have it.
Where did you put it?
By now, it is probably handed over...
to Mr. Guk Han Ju.
It can't be...
That's right.
I am...
Popeye.
Are you the Popeye...
who caused my sister to be killed?
I'm sorry, but that's what happened.
Dad.
I was worried about you.
Nothing happened with Prosecutor Ju Ha Min?
He took the tape.
I should've protected you with that.
The tape doesn't matter at all...
because you're standing in front of me like this.
Did you get hurt?
It's not a big deal.
I fought with three guys alone, but I defeated them.
Let's go home, Dad.
Come to think of it,
I'm too old to run away from home.
I missed your home-cooked meal so much too.
Let's go.
Dan.
There are a lot of dishes...
I made in the fridge,
so never skip a meal.
And take this.
If something happens,
go to the address written there.
You'll get help.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
You know...
I love you very much, right?
I do, but why do you say that?
Dad. What's the matter?
What is this?
Blood?
Dad, wake up.
Help!
Somebody help!
A man got hurt here.
Somebody help, please!
Dad.
Let's go see a doctor.
You'll be okay when you go to a hospital.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
Everything is my fault.
So please wake up, okay?
Dad.
I can't do without you.
My deposit account matures soon,
so we should go on a trip overseas.
You have to escort me when I have a wedding.
So please don't die.
Don't die.
Please don't die.
Dad.
Just calling your name...
makes me tear up, my daughter Dan.
Dad.
When azaleas bloomed,
we would walk along this road together.
I badly wanted to walk down this road with you just one more time.
Dad.
I've got all my memories back.
(Children of a Lesser God)
Go...
Go and rescue the pitiful soul...
possessed by an evil spirit.
It's an intense psychological warfare...
where you try to make your opponents get mistaken about the cards I have.
By the way, as for the female detective,
why did you want me not to kill her?
I like her as a woman.
You can't fool me.
He's not Dan's biological father.
(All the secrets of 1994 will be revealed.)
What was the reason?
