(Episode 17)
He has never broken the law before.
But he's breaking the law,
obsessing over your safety,
and becoming overprotective...
because you will die...
because of him.
So you must live.
For his sake,
do not die.
But live.
It has been a while, Dad.
Did you miss me?
I miss you too.
But you know, Dad.
I tried my best to live with a brave heart.
I didn't want to be seen as an orphan,
a poor kid, a kid that people feel sorry for.
But Dad,
do you think I can depend on someone now?
Don't you think I can do that?
Even if...
I end up leaving him behind,
can I do that?
Who is it?
I'm from Korea Electrical Safety Corporation.
There's a power outage around this region.
Please allow me to check for any short circuits.
Where's the circuit breaker?
It's probably inside, to your right.
Were you really worried?
You don't even need to ask.
My mom loved this sea.
She came here with my dad...
when she was pregnant with me.
My dad came here...
whenever he missed her.
And I come here from time to time...
when I miss him.
When I come here,
I can forget that I'm left all alone in this world.
Mr. Baek told me.
He told me why I'll die.
Aren't you scared...
that you'll die...
because of me?
I am.
But...
I won't run away from it.
I'm the one who got you involved when you didn't want to.
And I insisted that we can save Mi Jin.
- Joon Young. - Let's focus on the here and now.
I like you.
I...
like you a lot, Joon Young.
Tell me that one more time...
after we catch Jo Hyun Woo...
in this place.
Tell me that again.
That's not where the circuit breaker is.
Right!
You have such a huge house,
so I got into the wrong room.
Did you say it's on the right?
Yes, the right.
The water's gone.
Isn't it fascinating?
You can only enter the island when the tide is low.
So that's why I couldn't find it...
no matter how hard I tried.
What?
I couldn't tell her...
that this was...
where I'd die.
I probably came here...
because I missed you.
Because...
I wouldn't feel alone here.
I'd feel like we were together.
How did you know...
I wasn't a repairman when you're blind?
I've seen you...
for over 40 years.
What?
Your face and your voice...
I remember everything...
in detail.
Don't tell me you can see death as well.
That's right.
Before I lost my sight...
and even afterward,
I tried my best...
not to cross paths with you.
Shut it!
But I realized something.
We may be able to cheat destiny,
but we can't cheat encounters.
Just shut it, will you?
I don't want to kill you, but you're making me want to.
Do you know how sick and tired I am of your foresight?
You can...
change your foresight, Hyun Woo.
It's all up to you.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
What's going on? You sound happy.
Did you find Det. Seo?
Yes. We're together right now.
Thank goodness. I was worried.
That's a relief.
By the way, why couldn't you reach her?
I'll tell you once I get home.
Mr. Baek told me he'd stay home today.
You'll be home, right?
Yes.
Let's have dinner together.
I have something to tell you.
You do?
I'll tell you over dinner.
Mr. Baek.
Oh, no!
Hello?
- Mr. Baek! - Ms. Lee.
Oh, no! What should I do?
Mr. Baek! Are you all right?
Mr. Baek!
Wait.
- Mr. Baek. - Move aside.
- Tae Pyung. - Please move aside.
Mr. Baek!
(The Game: Towards Zero)
I came home.
Hey, Joon Young.
You can't enter. We need to secure the evidence.
By the time the paramedics came, he had already passed away.
We haven't found any signs of trespassing...
or foul play.
Mister.
Mister. Mister.
Do you regret it?
Do you?
No.
You saved my life.
So of course, I don't.
Does that mean he committed suicide?
No.
There's no way.
That's impossible.
[VIU Ver] MBC E17 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Seong Woon's Death" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Tae Pyung, when I die,
hold my funeral at home, not the hospital.
If you tell me how you die, I'll do as you say.
Don't worry.
It won't be a grand death.
You always say that.
(To Tae Pyung)
We found his will.
We don't know when he wrote it,
but it's for you.
Also, he recently met with Lawyer Lee...
and wrote a will regarding his inheritance.
Is that true?
Yes.
In the past,
he has attempted suicide.
And taking into consideration what you told me...
No. There's no way he committed suicide.
We found no traces of foul play anywhere in the house.
We did a luminol test just in case.
But we only found blood in the bathroom.
I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.
Could you get me...
a photo of him?
Yes, Captain.
It's me. Did you find anything?
The entire Crime Division One was dispatched,
so I followed them.
They headed to the address you gave me.
Did someone die?
Yes, but it was a suicide case.
- Suicide? - That's what paramedics said.
And I think that's how the detectives wrapped it up too.
- That's not it. - Pardon?
It's not suicide.
Has the Crime Division ever been dispatched to a suicide case?
Gosh. You're right.
Remember the medical examiner I told you about the other day?
Yes. Hold on.
Here. You mean Goo Do Kyung?
Find out the relationship between him and Jo Hyun Woo.
- Got it. - And update Han Kyu...
regarding what we've been discussing so far.
Tell him we have a U-boat on our hands.
Then, he'll get it.
Okay.
Are you sure Captain said it's a U-boat?
Anything else?
What is it?
What on earth is a U-boat?
It's the legendary German submarine used in the Second World War.
It means that we must be secretive and swift...
to delve deeply into this case.
It means it's an exclusive.
We must look into Goo Do Kyung first?
Yes. He told us to find out...
the relationship between him and Jo Hyun Woo.
Okay. I'll look into Jo Hyun Woo.
I need you to find everything about Goo Do Kyung.
He told us to look into Goo Do Kyung first.
Why are you looking into Jo Hyun Woo?
You are so frustrating.
Just do whatever I tell you.
You're so dull.
You won't find it no matter how hard you look.
It's pointless.
(ID: Baek Seong Woon)
It might not be here,
but I'm sure there's a photo of him.
Tae Pyung.
He got rid of all the photos because he knew you'd do this.
He got rid of all of his photos at his school and in his yearbooks.
I'm sorry, Tae Pyung.
When he told me to do that,
I should have known something was off.
I'm sorry.
What did the security firm say?
The electricity went out around that time,
so nothing was recorded on the security cameras.
Are you serious?
This is the analysis report.
What do you think?
Are you sure there's no sign that it could be homicide?
Be it homicide or suicide. I can't guarantee anything.
But I thought that it was a suicide at the scene...
because of this blood pattern.
It's a drip trail.
And the drip trail accumulated and formed this.
So this means that he slit his wrist lying in the tub.
Unless he voluntarily put his hand there,
the victim must have been unconscious.
To do so, the culprit must have hit the victim with a blunt object...
or drugged him.
In other words, I'll know for sure once the autopsy report comes out.
Joon Young.
We have a problem.
What? What are you talking about?
How come Goo Do Kyung is taking this case?
I wasn't sure if he was really in charge,
but it turned out that he is.
What should we do?
Didn't you take a day off yesterday?
Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
Why do you think? You look like you've been working all night.
Are you sick?
Well,
I might be coming down with a cold.
But you have four autopsies to perform.
Will you be okay?
If I'm not,
will you take them?
No way.
Oh, right.
A detective from Seoul Joongang Police Station is here.
It's not an urgent case.
It's a man in his 60s.
My gosh. I guess they aren't sure if it's homicide or suicide.
By the way, what's that?
- What? - There's something on your shirt.
I see.
I must have spilled it when I was drinking coffee earlier.
I'm Team Leader Han Dong Woo from Seoul Joongang Police Station.
You pretend as if we've never met.
I think we've met before.
I never told you my last name.
We should have caught you at that time,
but you got away.
Age, 69. Name, Baek Seong Woon.
He was found dead in the tub at his house.
I see signs of self-injury.
- Did he commit suicide? - If he did,
why am I here?
Mr. Kim.
I asked him to come in...
as he was very close with the deceased.
It's been a long time since I retired.
I hope I am not overstepping when you have...
a young and competent medical examiner.
No, sir. It's an honor to perform the autopsy with you.
I ask that you are thorough, so there's no injustice done to him.
You arranged this with Tae Pyung in advance?
I heard he was close with people from politics and financial circles.
I asked him to set it up if he could get anyone.
But...
how did you know?
The night before Mr. Baek passed away,
Jo Hyun Woo figured out we installed spy cams at his house.
So I knew.
That it was Kim Tae Pyung...
who installed the spy cams, not you.
So I was worried that something might happen.
And Mr. Baek passed away.
Anyway, Kim Tae Pyung will be part of the autopsy too.
He will?
I should have listened to you a long time ago.
I said he's joining as a consultant of our team.
You are smarter...
than I thought.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Relax.
If this is concluded as suicide,
you'll be so humiliated.
Fine. If you're a human being,
you ought to be.
Even when everyone in the world...
laughed at you for being the son of a murderer,
he cherished you...
and looked out for you.
What?
Hope Orphanage.
Your sponsor...
is Mr. Baek.
I'll see you at the autopsy.
You can change your foresight, Hyun Woo.
It's all up to you.
Whenever I looked at a mirror,
I thought of the ways not to get killed by you,
hurting myself in the process.
I couldn't understand...
why I must be murdered.
You will die...
because of your prediction.
No.
To be exact,
it's...
Kim Tae Pyung.
You're dying because of him.
I'm...
dying for your sake.
Die!
No matter how much you try to cover this up,
you will never...
be able to cover up my death.
So just turn yourself in while you can.
(Episode 18 will air shortly.)
(Ads 00:29:45 --> 00:30:46)
(Episode 18)
(To Tae Pyung)
Everyone in this world...
snickered and called you a son of a murderer.
But he was someone...
who cared and worried about you.
Your sponsor...
at Hope Orphanage was...
Mr. Baek.
(Dear Hyun Woo, I heard you've been ill for days...)
Dear Hyun Woo,
I heard you've been ill for days...
and haven't been eating either.
Did your friends bully you again?
You must despise your father more because of what your friends said.
But Hyun Woo,
even good people make foolish choices...
when they find themselves in a bad situation,
just as how a wise man...
can be devastated when he's in unfortunate circumstances.
Everyone...
makes mistakes.
I hope you won't hate your father too much,
who's now living a life of repentance.
Remember.
What someone does after they make a mistake...
brings out that person's true nature.
Remember that...
there's someone who always cares and worries about you.
I heard that...
you couldn't find any pictures.
I should have realized...
when he refused to show me one...
even when I begged him.
I'm sorry.
If you were...
with him at that moment,
this wouldn't have happened.
It's not your fault.
He already knew how he'll die.
I'm sure he looked in the mirror...
before he lost his eyesight.
I'm sure that he knew.
But why...
Why didn't he tell me?
If he had told me, I could have stopped this.
Why didn't he tell me?
(Observation Room, Postmortem Laboratory)
Please look after him.
Let's do this.
Let us begin.
Let's pay our respect.
October 31, 2019,
9:10pm.
The postmortem examination of the late Baek Seong Woon begins.
Forceps.
Let us begin.
Yes.
(Observation Room, Postmortem Laboratory)
Whatever the result may be,
I'm sure this is extremely difficult for you.
In my opinion,
it's difficult to say that he was murdered.
What do you mean?
I did see minor contusions on his chest and arms.
But for a disabled...
to get into the tub, those injuries seem reasonable.
There are signs of his drowning.
But I can't say for sure whether it was the cause of death.
I believe the damage to his artery...
was the cause of his death.
The results of the drug test and the medical checkup...
will take a few days.
I'll call you once they're done.
Let's go.
(To Tae Pyung)
This was my choice, so don't blame yourself.
It's not your fault.
You did nothing wrong.
I hope you can protect the one you love.
But why?
Why did you do that?
(This was my choice, so don't blame yourself.)
(It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong.)
Tae Pyung, when I die,
hold my funeral at home, not the hospital.
Like the American way.
You make it sound like you're suffering from a fatal illness.
Don't dress me in a prickly shroud.
I want to wear a luxury suit in my favorite color, burgundy.
Give me a neat tie as well.
Don't put rice in my mouth either.
I'll feel suffocated. I hate it.
There's a reason for that, you know?
It's so that you won't starve on your way to paradise.
Give me a luxury wallet and stuff it with enough cash.
I'll buy something on my way there.
All right.
Make me look fancy and elegant.
Got it?
If you tell me how you die, I'll do as you say.
Don't worry.
It won't be a grand death.
Is the final autopsy result out?
Yes.
I guess homicide was ruled out.
You're right.
Do you also think he committed suicide?
I'm not sure.
But if Mr. Baek had gotten rid of all his photos...
so that Tae Pyung wouldn't be able to look at them,
I'm sure there was a reason behind it.
Lord.
We have buried this frail body.
Please give him a new life.
Please allow his spirit to join those above.
Please show him mercy during your judgment.
Free him from his sins and let him rise from his death.
Allow him to reconcile with You.
Put him on Shepherd's shoulder...
and let him follow the everlasting King.
Allow him to enjoy never-ending happiness...
alongside the saints.
Hey, Han Kyu.
Sir, I'm currently at the police station...
that's in charge of Jo Hyun Woo's suicide.
You should brace yourself.
Goo Do Kyung is Jo Hyun Woo.
What?
I showed them the photo of Hyun Woo...
which you took 20 years ago.
They said he was Goo Do Kyung, Jo Hyun Woo's friend.
People at Seoul Joongang Police Station already know this.
But seeing how they're keeping it on the low,
there's something going on.
I'll tell you more once we meet.
You haven't changed.
You still follow people around.
Don't worry. I won't bite.
Gosh.
Can we stop by a rest stop?
I need to go to the toilet.
Sure.
(Watch your head.)
You got a call.
Okay.
[VIU Ver] MBC E18 'The Game: Towards Zero' "Is It Homicide or Suicide?" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Are you up?
Were you trying to kill me with this?
Darn you. You scumbag.
It was you, wasn't it? You killed my daughter!
Your wife killed...
my dad.
You murderers.
"You murderers"?
Too bad.
The murderer who killed seven girls...
wasn't my dad.
He's behind you.
So be careful.
If that comes undone, you'll die.
What about Mr. Baek's portrait?
I'll leave it.
This house won't feel like his house without it.
Now, legally, this is your house.
To me, this is Mr. Baek's.
("Bible")
What about the wheelchair?
Later.
I'll take care of it.
Ms. Lee.
Can I find her family?
Her family?
Just like Mr. Baek kept a photo of her,
her family...
probably keeps photos of her.
And Mr. Baek...
could be in one of those photos.
The name of the woman in the photo is Park Hye Jung.
Among Mr. Baek's belongings,
I found a letter he exchanged with her,
so finding her was easier than I thought.
Excuse me.
Hello.
I'm sorry. I was feeding my cat.
What would you like?
I had no idea...
he still kept this photo.
They were madly in love with each other.
Anyway,
my older sister died because of him.
What's the point of making money...
by telling people how they will die?
The person he must have protected died.
He wanted to stop it.
That's why...
he suffered with a guilty heart his entire life.
Please look for his photo...
just in case.
To bring justice to Mr. Baek's death,
I really need his photo.
Do you see people's deaths too?
Yes.
Please leave.
(Cafe Attraction: Evening Primrose, Yearning)
You must like flowers.
When you cross the street,
please be careful.
How beautiful.
- Hey, there. - Aren't you a beautiful baby?
You must like flowers.
When you cross the street,
please be careful.
No matter how beautiful a baby is,
when you cross the street,
always watch out for cars.
Wait!
I didn't think it'd be suicide.
I'm talking about Mr. Baek.
I get that he's blind.
But if he lifts his eyelids like this,
he might be able to see things.
What is it? Don't tell me this never crossed your mind.
Let's be honest. It's just that we don't have any evidence.
So many things about this case are suspicious.
Like how electricity went out around that time.
But...
- why did he go there? - What?
If we were to hypothesize that it was homicide, not suicide,
Jo Hyun Woo probably went to Mr. Baek's house.
Right.
If that's our hypothesis, he did go there.
And around the time he went to Mr. Baek's house,
Jo Hyun Woo found the spy cams at his house.
Tae Pyung just left.
You just missed him.
I came here to check something,
so I didn't call him.
Can we take a look around?
Go ahead.
Check.
Let's check the room first.
Where's Tae Pyung's room?
Over there.
Okay.
I don't think it's in his room.
This house is so huge. My back hurts.
I'll head to the bathroom.
- Okay. - Bong Soo.
I can't change the entire premise just because there are no spy cams.
If Jo Hyun Woo entered the house,
how did he enter the house without leaving signs of forced entries?
There's a power outage around this region.
Please allow me to check for any short circuits.
Where's the circuit breaker?
Did he pretend to be a technician...
who came for an inspection?
If so,
they must have gotten into a physical fight in here.
Mr. Baek can't see or walk,
so I'm sure he was easily overpowered.
And a place where he can cover up his murder as a suicide.
This is the crime scene.
I'm sure he was killed here.
But how did he kill him while he was still conscious?
I'm sure he tampered with the scene.
But no matter how much he tried to wipe everything,
I'm sure there's some blood left...
in a place where he couldn't reach.
If there's blood in this pipe, he was 100 percent murdered.
There's nothing.
No.
He cleaned it out on purpose.
Kim Tae Pyung.
You're dying because of him.
I'm dying for your sake.
Die!
No way.
Did you really think only you can put a tracker on me?
Until that point,
I thought the one who threw out the blood in that pipe was...
Jo Hyun Woo.
It was the moment when his sadness turned into anger.
(The Game: Towards Zero)
Why did you kill him?
He's a guy who couldn't see or walk well.
I guess he wanted to live.
Don't get delusional and think that you have it all.
If I can't have it, you can't have it either.
Never.
You must be awfully nervous because you can't see my death.
It must be frightening...
to think that I'll die because of you.
Stop thinking about that.
You can focus on the here and now.
I'll keep my eyes on the scary things.
