(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)
Mi Jin!
By the way, how did you know that girl was buried?
There's a guy called Mr. Kim Tae Pyung,
who can see the moment right before someone's death.
He can see the moment right before death?
Why do you think I'm doing this?
Tell me.
You saw this, so you would know.
Do you think you'll be any different?
Try losing someone you deem the most precious.
Then you'll come to understand.
You'll kill yourself.
You'll fall down and die.
That's how you will die.
I don't know when it is, but around 7:00pm,
Mi Jin will be killed...
just like how the seventh victim was killed.
Please check if she's all right.
Did you see...
the culprit's face?
Yes.
Was it someone you know?
Yes, it was.
But I just met him once 20 years ago.
But he is someone that you know, right?
Can you come to the station right now?
Kim Tae Pyung came by saying...
he needs to see how Mi Jin's death changed.
How Mi Jin's death changed?
I tried my best not to show him,
but I showed her picture to him just in case.
Things don't look really good.
All right. I'll be there right now.
Is something going on?
I'll have to go to find out.
Please excuse me.
So it was someone you know.
First of all, please check if Mi Jin is doing okay.
- Hello? - Yes, hello.
This is Han Dong Woo of Crime Division One.
Yes, Det. Han.
Is Mi Jin...
all right?
She convulsed so badly in the middle of the night...
and even pulled out her IV,
so I've been out of it.
The doctor said...
the episode was caused because of the shock from the accident.
But...
do you get reports for such incidents?
Pardon?
You called me right after she convulsed.
Yes.
Let us know if anything happens.
Okay. Thank you.
You recognized the culprit's face, right?
I need to ask you a few questions.
Please do cooperate.
(The Game: Towards Zero)
(Episode 7)
20 years ago,
I visited the orphanage that my teacher was sponsoring.
That's where we met.
What was the name of the orphanage?
Hope Orphanage.
Back then, I had recently come to Korea from the States,
and I was too young.
So I didn't think about looking for him.
When I actually got around to doing that,
the orphanage had already closed.
Why were you looking for him?
I saw myself...
in his death.
So you're telling me that you saw yourself...
in the death of the culprit who'll try to murder Mi Jin?
Yes.
How does he die?
He commits suicide...
while being surrounded by the police.
And I'm his hostage.
And you don't know how it got to that situation?
No.
That's why I was looking for him.
All right.
But there's no way for you to prove it.
- Sorry? - The orphanage has been closed.
And his suicide will happen in the future, right?
But Mi Jin's death will happen in the near future.
- We need to catch him before... - I can't just take...
your word for it and accuse someone as the culprit.
Are you sure you're not just refusing to believe me?
Then prove it yourself.
I'd like to verify if you really can see people's deaths.
If that's the only way for you to believe me,
then sure. You can do that.
What happened?
Well... He's going to test Mr. Kim Tae Pyung.
- Test? - Yes.
Why don't you trust him?
Why should I?
We saved Mi Jin thanks to him.
- What if that was intentional? - What?
We only listened to what he said.
We never confirmed his claim of having a superpower.
But he even knew where the coffin was...
Exactly. He could be a possible accomplice.
He could've helped you so that Mi Jin would die...
like that seventh victim.
He didn't even know who Jo Pil Doo was.
What if he was just pretending?
What could he possibly get out of doing this?
Do serial killers always have a reason for murder?
Why do you think I'm doing this?
Tell me.
You saw this, so you would know.
He already knew beforehand...
that I'd look at Mi Jin's photo again.
But how?
And why?
Why did he say such a thing?
Don't tell me...
you don't trust me either.
Please don't think like that.
Just think that I need to confirm it.
I'll begin.
Okay. Sure.
The victims were drowned, strangled, and assaulted...
with ruptures to their heart.
The first victim's body was found in the downstream Han River.
The back of his head was hit with a blunt weapon.
He was found in the Han River.
He was hit in the head with a hammer,
but he probably died from drowning.
He was alive...
until he was taken by the current.
He... He's right.
The next victim is...
No!
Please spare me! Please!
Please spare me!
She was strangled.
He choked her to death.
The murder weapon was an orange rope.
This woman...
Honey. Honey.
Give that to me.
She was assaulted by her husband.
Honey.
He assaulted her relentlessly.
He was wet with sweat.
And this battered woman...
felt pain...
until her very last breath.
He got them all right.
So tell me.
Are you sure you just needed confirmation?
Then why did you show me...
your mother's photo in the beginning?
Isn't it because you wanted to confirm it?
You gave me the benefit of the doubt...
and thought I could really see death.
Isn't that why you gave me her photo...
instead of these gruesome ones?
You're right.
But...
how did you know it was my mother?
Honey.
It seems like...
our baby...
takes after you.
I'm glad she doesn't take after me.
I hope you two don't team up...
and isolate me.
You were...
an infant.
Your mother had you in her arms.
Before she died,
she gave you your name.
Should we name her Joon Young?
Let's name her so.
Joon for "bright".
And Young for "shining".
That's what your name meant.
She named me so?
I'm sorry for leaving you alone...
with Joon Young, honey.
Quit that nonsense.
You're not going anywhere.
Don't worry. And stop talking such nonsense.
- Honey. - I'm sorry.
Was she in pain?
No.
She left peacefully...
next to your dad.
I'm sorry.
I read an article...
that your father passed away because of a culprit named Jo Pil Doo.
If your dad was alive,
he would have been proud of you.
Perhaps,
we were able to save Mi Jin...
not because of my foresight,
but because you were...
certain that we could.
You were certain that we could save Mi Jin.
I don't know when it would happen. But at 7pm,
just like the 7th victim was murdered 20 years ago,
I saw Mi Jin getting murdered at the hospital.
I haven't figured out...
why her death has changed.
But...
if you're certain that we can change it,
I think we can save Mi Jin.
I'll help too.
Please let me help.
Please allow me...
to hire Mr. Kim as a consultant for the investigation team.
No.
But you saw that he can indeed see people's deaths.
Just because that's true, it doesn't prove that he's not the culprit.
Chief Nam.
Hey, didn't you hear him?
He said that your will to save Mi Jin...
made it possible for us to rescue her, not his foresight.
Then, allow me to at least have him draw a composite sketch.
It will only be a distraction in your investigation.
It could be a crucial clue for my investigation.
The Blue House is showing interest in this case.
Unless you want people to criticize you...
for letting the girl die for believing in pseudoscience,
wake up and catch the culprit.
So I guess the talk didn't go well?
No.
I'm sorry.
We can show him another miracle.
If you could catch the culprit before then, it would be better.
Okay.
But...
something has been bothering me.
The culprit already knew...
that I would be looking at Mi Jin's photo.
The culprit knew?
Yes.
He asked me why he was killing a girl.
It sounded as if he wanted me to realize something.
I can't figure out...
why he said such a thing.
What was the name...
of the orphanage you went to 20 years ago?
Hope Orphanage.
What is it? Do you know the place?
Well,
I'll look into that.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
(Visitor's Log: Crime Division 1, Kim Tae Pyung)
Excuse me. How may I help you?
- Have a nice evening. - Bye.
I even got tested...
because they didn't believe me.
So I ended up proving my ability to them.
Can you find me someone,
an ex-cop or a private investigator who can do a composite sketch?
But the police said no.
They just said no to my offer,
but I can get it done on my own and give it to them.
I need to make sure Mi Jin is safe.
- Tae Pyung. - So...
are you telling us...
that you will go up against the murderer?
The man who was trying to kill Mi Jin...
was that boy I saw...
20 years ago.
I knew that we would meet again,
but it might be sooner...
than I anticipated.
Will they...
end up meeting like this?
20 years ago,
I visited the orphanage that my teacher was sponsoring.
That's where we met.
What was the name of the orphanage?
Hope Orphanage.
If it was 20 years ago,
that boy was at the orphanage.
(Police)
- His dad killed her. - What?
- You scumbag! - That piece of trash.
- You deserve to die! - You should just die!
- You piece of trash. - What a scumbag!
- Dad. - Did he really kill them?
- You scumbag. - Move back.
- How could you do that? - How dare you!
- Why did you do it? - You can't be called a human being!
- Move back, please. - Come over here.
Dad!
- My gosh, you murderer! - You're a monster!
- Hey, you piece of trash! - How could you kill her?
So you were here.
- What did you do next? - What?
What did you do to her?
Do it now.
You scumbag!
- How could you do that a girl? - Dad.
- Monster! - Murderer!
Hyun Woo.
How could he do that to a little girl?
Did you find Jo Pil Doo's DNA from the crime scene?
- When will he be transferred? - Detectives!
Is it good?
Joon Young.
Mister.
But I heard that the boy died...
15 years ago.
- Hope Orphanage? - Yes.
It closed down in 2004.
Was there a special reason for its closure?
- There was a fire. - A fire?
Luckily, no one died from it.
The reference library burnt down.
So the records for the kids all got lost.
But why are you asking about Jo Hyun Woo?
I looked into his record.
It said that he hanged himself.
I was wondering if you were able to identify the body.
His friend came and identified the body.
His friend?
He said he was in the orphanage.
Do you remember the name of the friend?
Anyway, he hanged himself at his house.
And we found the suicide note, so we closed the case.
Joon Young,
Hope Orphanage closed down because of the fire a long time ago.
("Hope Orphanage Was Engulfed in Flames")
Joon Young,
why are you looking into the orphanage?
I thought the name of the orphanage...
I stayed was also called Hope Orphanage.
You stayed in an orphanage?
Briefly. I stayed there briefly.
Chief Nam isn't coming in today?
No, he said he had to take care of something, so he's coming in late.
Why?
It's nothing.
If Jo Hyun Woo is alive,
that means he planned everything so it looks like he killed himself.
Wait, was that phone call I got three years ago...
from Jo Hyun Woo?
- It'll rain cats and dogs. - I'll get my umbrella.
- We'll wait out here. - Okay, sure.
Gosh.
Nice job.
Hello? This is Nam Woo Hyun.
Hello?
I know the real culprit of the Jo Pil Doo case.
What? You know what?
I know the real culprit who killed...
those women.
Do you know how much the fine is...
for making a prank call?
It's not a prank. I mean it.
If you keep calling me, I will track you down to fine you.
He's still killing more people!
I saw him...
kill another person. The name of the real culprit...
isn't Jo Pil Doo.
It's Kim Hyung Soo.
He's running an animal shelter...
in Sano-dong, Guri.
(Animal Shelter)
You'll find a red box in the cabinet of the storage.
He kept the hair of a woman whom he recently killed.
But when I came here three years ago,
there wasn't a red box or the hair of a dead woman.
May I help you?
(Do Not Enter)
Kim Yong Bae?
The owner of the supermarket up on the hill said...
this place is owned by a man named Kim Yong Bae.
He also said that when I was here three years ago.
I mean, unless the owner changed since then.
How can it change?
It has been over three years since Hyung Soo went missing.
Pardon?
Hyung Soo is Yong Bae. He's Kim Hyung Soo.
He changed his name to that, but those older men didn't know.
That's probably why they told you that.
Then he has...
Two names. Kim Yong Bae and Kim Hyung Soo.
Kim Hyung Soo is his new name.
The name of the real culprit...
isn't Jo Pil Doo.
It's Kim Hyung Soo.
Oh, it looks like you witnessed a murder case.
So...
why do you say he's the real culprit of the Jo Pil Doo case?
Hello?
Why?
Are you scared because I caught you after you arrested...
the wrong guy?
