Put the gun down.
What is this?
Put the gun down, you punk!
Sung Hoon, what is this?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Say something!
Sung Hoon.
Jung Yoon Jae.
You're under arrest for murder, attempted murder, and assault.
Sung Hoon.
Sung Hoon!
(Episode 14: In Search for Lost Time)
Here they come.
They're here.
Move aside.
- Why did you do it? - Make room!
- Why did you do it? - What made you do it?
- Why did you do it? - Give us a word!
The prime suspect in the Joker Murders has been arrested.
It has been revealed that the suspect, Jung,
was surprisingly one of nine jurors...
in the trial for the first victim, Ms. Baek.
Jung is under investigation...
for the murders of not only Baek but also seven other people.
This time, he had imprisoned eight people in the basement jail...
at Hope Welfare Center...
and was caught before he could murder them.
A police chief and the Minister of Health and Welfare...
were among the victims that were locked in the basement jail.
We are still unaware of the motive for his crimes.
- Did you get hurt? - Are you okay?
- How do you feel to be back? - How is your health?
We'd like to know the circumstances of your abduction.
I wasn't abducted.
I went there to persuade the criminal.
When I found out that he was from Hope Welfare Center,
I went there with the mindset of a mother.
Because Hope Welfare Center...
was where I adopted my precious eldest son.
- Is that so? - How do you feel right now?
- Can you elaborate? - Please tell us more.
I didn't know you were here.
Did you see the press conference?
Yes, I did.
Are you upset I said that without discussing it with you?
No, it was bound to come out anyway.
Were you serious about persuading Yoon Jae?
Persuasion is something you do with humans.
Yoon Jae is consumed with paranoia.
How can you call anyone who obsesses over something...
that happened over 20 years ago sane?
If we sent him to the US for adoption,
he should've forgotten about his past and lived a good life.
How foolish.
I see.
It's foolish to obsess over the past.
I'll get going now.
Why?
You should stay for dinner.
Next time.
Did you have to do a press conference?
What choice did I have?
The press got a whiff of it and came after me.
I had to turn their attention elsewhere.
What about the other people who were locked up?
We don't have to worry about them?
All of them are probably nervous wrecks right now.
They're afraid what they did will come out.
- Yes? - I'm Detective Kim Seok Gu.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes. We're investigating the victims,
so when does Minister Na have time?
She doesn't have time?
Then I'll talk to my bosses to see if that's possible...
and call you right back.
Yes, I'll call you back soon.
She doesn't want to give her statement?
It's not that. That was her secretary.
Apparently, she's so busy...
that she wants to do a written investigation.
Then push the minister back and move forward with someone else.
Yes, sir.
Jung Yoon Jae's arrest warrant was approved.
- Really? - We'll be back.
Okay. Go ahead.
Where is he? Did you get Jung Yoon Jae's confession?
- No, not yet. - Why haven't you gotten it yet?
End the investigation this week and send it to the prosecution.
Within the week?
That's impossible.
There's a total of seven murders. In order to get through...
That's why I'm telling you to end it quickly!
What are you going to say...
when they ask us what we were doing while seven people died?
The entire police force will get criticized for your incompetence!
Say he's a psychopath...
and that they were random killings.
You have until this week. Okay?
He is a psychopath,
but these weren't random killings.
What?
You know that too.
- Let's go. - Okay.
What did that punk just say to me?
I'm not sure.
Oh, right. Chief Yeom.
What's your connection to Hope Welfare Center?
What?
It's because of your victim's statement.
Darn it.
Do you want to give a written statement since you're busy?
- Shut your mouth! - What?
Jung Yoon Jae.
How long have you been living as Jung In Seong?
(Jung In Seong)
Your photo was in Jung In Seong's adoption papers.
How did you manage this?
Did you change it?
How did you figure out who I was?
There's no way an incompetent officer like you figured it out.
Did my brother tell you?
- "My brother"? - Yes. My brother.
If it hadn't been for my brother,
would you have been able to catch me?
Is the brother you speak of...
Judge Ryu Sung Hoon,
the guy you stabbed with a knife?
Why did you do it?
I didn't do that.
Sure you didn't.
He already told us that you stabbed him.
- My brother did? - Yes.
He did.
And we have evidence that you were there...
when the crime happened.
But you didn't get my face in the picture.
These are the shoes we found in your apartment...
that you wore at the crime scene.
Will you still deny it?
What about these?
Am I the only one who wears these shoes in the whole country?
Baek Ji Eun, Yeom Hye Jin,
Choi Soon Gil, An Tae Ho,
Kang Ha Na, Kwon Yu Na.
You killed them all, right?
Should we talk about Baek Ji Eun first?
But...
do you have any evidence for that?
You incited the abduction of Baek Ji Eun,
saying you'd pay for Jung Man Chun's son's surgery.
He told us everything.
Jung Man Chun...
But didn't he die?
If the witness is dead,
you'd at least need a recording to use as evidence.
What will you do, detective?
It's a murder case without any evidence.
Darn it.
What do we do if we don't have any direct evidence?
If we're not careful, we might not be able to charge him...
for the serial murders.
The attempted murder of Detective Ryu's brother...
and special assault...
for abducting the eight people might be all we can charge him with.
He must have his reasons for being so confident.
I feel like there's something else.
Jung Yoon Jae.
He had cameras at all of his crime scenes and filmed them.
Seeing how he sent a video of Yeom Hye Jin to Chief Yeom,
there must be original files of the recordings somewhere.
Seok Gu.
Where's all the stuff we confiscated from his car?
Here it is.
(Storage history management)
Was the hard drive missing in the first place?
I don't know.
We just store things exactly how they're brought in.
It had been about three months...
since I started working at Hope Welfare Center.
Sometimes, I thought the kids I was treating...
had unusual wounds.
But that was the first time...
that I had seen it with my own eyes.
That man...
was torturing a child.
I was so surprised that I just...
ended up screaming.
He saw me.
And ever since that day...
I knew that I was pregnant with you,
but I was too scared to run away.
The only thing I could do for you...
was to keep you from knowing that he was your father.
Both then and now,
I'm so pitiful, aren't I?
No.
I really hated that man,
but not once did I...
regret having you.
Eun Ki,
I was so lucky to have you.
You were like a gift to me.
(Starlight Park, Muyeong Local Court)
All the data on Jung Yoon Jae's laptop and phone are gone.
You think someone got rid of the evidence on purpose, right?
Jung Yoon Jae didn't have any time to get rid of it himself.
What about other evidence?
As you already know, all we have is circumstantial evidence.
There are plenty of cases where we got a guilty verdict...
with only circumstantial evidence.
I don't want that.
That snake-like punk keeps cracking smiles and mocking the police.
I can't handle that.
I will find direct evidence, no matter what.
Do you need me in finding evidence?
How did you know?
Tell me. What do I have to do?
(Video Interrogation Room A)
What are you two plotting?
I asked to see you.
Why?
Are you sorry that you had me locked up here?
I want to help you.
How should I help you?
Do you want me to get you a talented lawyer?
Then will that lawyer break me out of jail?
- Is that your plan? - No.
A good lawyer would create mitigating circumstances...
so you get a life sentence.
If proof of the murders surfaces,
you will be executed.
I see.
Now I see what you're worried about.
He'll do something to the judge.
Wait.
Then I won't have to do anything.
No.
But what's the real reason?
Why did you stop me from killing them all?
To be honest,
you wanted to see it too.
Didn't you?
It can't be because of the guy outside.
You didn't betray me, did you?
(Video Interrogation Room A)
Sung Hoon.
Why did he say you betrayed him?
I don't think you need to worry about that nonsense.
Like you said, he has something that connects him to the murders.
Did he tell you where it is?
I hid it in the safest place.
He said he hid it in the safest place.
"The safest place"?
(Muyeong Local Court)
- Take a seat. - Thanks.
Why are you here already? You should've gotten more rest.
There's something I must do right away.
You got to work as soon as you got discharged.
Other than this job, I couldn't think of anything to do.
What is it you must do?
Judge Ryu.
The truth about Hope Welfare Center...
Let's tell the world about it.
Do we have to get involved?
The culprit was arrested,
and the media are interested...
because of all the abductions.
The interest of others never lasts.
They'll forget about it when something else comes along.
We, those who were involved, must do something.
That's the only way to reveal facts that other people will miss.
The victims are crying out there somewhere.
The perpetrators are at large, so we must change that first.
The truth about Hope Welfare Center.
How will you make it known?
Through the media.
If the most popular current affairs documentary were to cover the story,
it will cause a stir.
We just have to say...
what we experienced and what we know.
Will you...
join me?
I have no idea.
Here.
Thanks.
If he had taken videos of the crime scenes,
he would have moved it to a flash drive.
Where do you think you can hide a flash drive safely?
Jung In Seong's studio apartment...
He's Jung Yoon Jae, isn't he? It's so confusing.
Anyway, Jung Yoon Jae's home, his fake mom's diner,
his car, Hope Welfare Center.
We looked everywhere and found nothing.
I think I know.
Where is it?
Inside his body.
He swallowed it.
I doubt that.
Would he use such an old trick?
Seok Gu, a classic is forever.
Right, Detective Ryu?
If he said it was a safe place,
he was pretty sure about it.
If you want to talk about safety, the police station's the safest.
Is it here?
- You... - Dong Hwa. Stop it.
What brings you here?
I want to ask for a favor.
Eat up.
I don't get why you're doing this.
Do you want to be nice to me instead of your real son...
for vicarious pleasure or something?
My In Seong.
My In Seong...
What happened to him?
Is he alive?
Well,
twenty years ago,
we all tried to escape together.
He got caught in a trap.
He wasn't treated properly,
and he suffered.
So I freed him from his misery.
Oh, right.
There's something he kept saying until he died.
"I miss my mom's cooking."
I miss him.
The loser crybaby.
Are you serious?
Yes. That's why Jung Yoon Jae abducted me.
The ending he probably wanted...
was for Mr. Baek to kill me or for me to kill Mr. Baek.
You must've been shocked.
Are you okay?
It'd be a lie if I said I wasn't.
But...
I'm glad it was revealed now.
Now I know exactly what I need to do.
Did Minister Na say anything?
We need to investigate her now.
Prepare yourself for anything.
Seeing the dark side of your family...
is harder...
than you think.
I'm preparing for the worst.
[VIU Ver] tvN E14 'Blind' "In Search for Lost Time" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
If you want to talk about safety,
the police station's the safest.
(Storage Room)
Get up.
My brother told me...
you were really smart even when you were young.
Did he say that?
Yes. That's what he said.
He never treated me...
like a person since we were young.
Because I always got into fights.
Maybe it's because I'm dumb,
but I don't seem to understand.
Why did the culprit bring Jung Man Chun into this?
Could you tell me since you're so smart?
The jury.
The jury?
A trial by jury...
is the perfect case to attract attention.
I see.
Then...
the culprit was in the car...
just like Jung Man Chun said in court.
Right.
Please save me.
That man is trying to kill me.
Please open the door.
Please open the door for me.
Please, I'm begging you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Then I guess Baek Ji Eun was grateful to the culprit...
without knowing what was coming.
Are you serious?
If he had more time...
So he didn't have enough time.
Because he had to kill her before her 20th birthday was over.
Right.
If he killed her on the happiest day of her life,
wouldn't her parents remember the pain of it forever?
I see.
But...
why did he cut her lips?
I don't know.
It could've been for revenge.
Or maybe he enjoyed...
killing her.
I see.
Then why did he do this?
There were marks of assault all over Yeom Hye Jin's body.
Unlike the other victims.
What reason did he have to leave marks of an assault?
Was the culprit so weak that he couldn't handle...
a woman by himself?
Hey.
Mr. Choi was the one who hit Yeom Hye Jin.
How did you know Mr. Choi hit Yeom Hye Jin?
On the day...
you killed Yeom Hye Jin,
you were following Mr. Choi, weren't you?
(Taxi)
You dragged a woman who was fighting for her life...
as if she were an object,
and you choked her and cut her mouth.
That's interesting.
Keep going.
Murderers each have their own unique habits.
You kill people...
and rip their mouths, but there's one more.
The murder video.
As if it's a trophy,
you recorded a video every time you killed someone.
With Kang Ha Na, the daughter of Director Kang,
you made the mistake of nicking her artery since you didn't have time,
but you still took a video.
Where did you get this?
The safest place.
You sure are smart.
Who knew you would've hidden evidence of murder...
in the evidence locker of the police station?
Will you still deny it?
No way...
There's no way my brother told...
There's no way my brother would've betrayed me.
You pathetic punk.
If you had wanted to take revenge,
you should've made the guilty people pay for their crimes.
Why would you kill their daughters who did nothing wrong?
Those jerks killed my sister too.
They should feel it too.
They took what was most precious to us.
They should know how that feels.
That's what justice is.
Justice?
Jung Yoon Jae.
You're just...
a psychopath who's crazy about murder.
Oh, right.
Even my brother...
doesn't consider a piece of trash like you to be human.
What do you know about my brother and me?
I should've just killed you then.
Then?
Yes, in that playground.
I should've just killed you on that slide.
Sung Hoon.
Watch me.
Yoon Jae.
Yoon Jae, don't do that.
That was...
you?
Do you remember now?
It was nice to watch you cry after losing your memory.
I don't know who I am.
I don't know what my mom and dad look like.
I don't know where I used to live before I came here.
Do you really not remember anything?
No.
But I think I remember someone calling me Yoon Jae.
Do you think that's my name?
It probably is.
Yoon Jae.
You...
What did you do to me?
Sung Jun!
Darn it!
Hey, think about it.
Why do you think you have that necklace?
So, Number 11, if I...
No.
If I accept your offer, Judge Ryu,
what will you be able to give me?
Consider it a second chance that I'm giving you.
A second chance for you to make up for your mistake 20 years ago.
If you take this chance,
I will make sure to bury the past nicely.
And if I turn down your offer?
It wouldn't be an easy offer to turn down.
(Brother)
Think about it and let me know.
Sung Hoon.
Do you remember what you said to me in the playground 20 years ago?
What was that?
Yoon Jae.
Yoon Jae,
don't do that.
Why didn't you tell me that I didn't fall by mistake...
and that Jung Yoon Jae had pushed me?
You saw everything.
I also don't know why I did that back then.
I think I was scared.
I think I also wanted to protect Yoon Jae.
You had lost your memory anyway.
I thought that if I stayed quiet, nothing would happen.
Nothing would happen?
You don't know...
what happened between me and Jung Yoon Jae after that,
do you?
Jung Yoon Jae, that punk,
made me into himself.
My mind had become a blank slate,
and he planted his own memories in my mind.
I didn't even know that,
and I lived as Jung Yoon Jae...
from Hope Welfare Center.
Can you believe it?
That such a young kid...
did something like that?
I think there's something more to this.
I feel like I remember something but don't know what it is.
Is there anything else you know?
I'm not sure.
What about this necklace?
That necklace...
I gave it to you.
You gave it to me?
Over there. Aim for that.
Try once more.
(Always keep the necklace on.)
Gosh, it'll be such a hassle especially when I shower.
Do I really have to keep this on?
(It means that we're family.)
(Look, I have one too.)
Okay, if you say so.
There's one for me too?
(Of course. You're our family too.)
(I'll trust that you'll take good care of Yoon Jae...)
(if something happens to me.)
Don't worry.
I'll protect you and Yoon Jae, no matter what.
We're family.
(Thank you.)
Wearing that necklace...
meant that we were family.
That's why I gave it to you.
Because I thought of you as my real brother.
I didn't know you thought of me that way.
I wish I had known.
Don't be so touched by what I said.
Most of the time,
I thought you were pathetic.
Good parents who are well-off.
A smart brain.
I wondered why you were living like that...
when you had everything from birth.
I wonder too.
How come you never once asked...
who you really were?
I'm not sure.
I just felt like...
I would be...
abandoned the moment I brought it up.
(Muyeong Police Station)
I can't believe this.
(Suspicions Surrounding Hope Welfare Center)
(The Abductees Include Welfare Minister and Police Chief)
(Jung was adopted by a family in the US...)
(from Hope Welfare Center 20 years ago.)
Who wrote this article without even calling me to check the facts?
Darn it.
Hey!
Tell Captain Oh to come to my office at once!
(Chief Yeom Ki Nam)
(Minister of Health and Welfare Na Guk Hee)
Producer Bae is here too.
He wants to talk to us about something.
We're starting a new investigative documentary...
about Hope Welfare Center.
What?
Who's the producer in charge?
Me.
Have you lost your mind?
You're filming a documentary about it? Have you no shame?
I know. I wasn't going to do it,
but all the deaths made me feel guilty.
And as a producer, I want to make the show.
Think about it.
I have the footage I recorded 20 years ago.
That with the interviews of the survivors,
the Broadcasting Award...
will be mine.
Footage from 20 years ago?
Not the one Jung Yoon Jae had? There's another one?
Of course, there is.
I made copies.
I have to submit the final proposal by the end of the week.
What should I do?
You two should talk about it and let me know.
I'll get going, then.
Darn it.
- What do we do? - We must stop him.
As for the evidence Jung Yoon Jae had,
I threw it in the Han River with my own hands,
so we just have to get rid of the evidence Producer Bae has.
I'll take care of it.
Just get some money ready.
Money?
You should at least pay me.
I'm doing all the dirty work.
Okay, fine.
Just make sure everything goes without a hitch.
A TV interview?
Yes. Producer Bae is working on a special documentary...
about Hope Welfare Center.
Judge Ryu and I have agreed to his interview request.
Can you also talk about what you saw that day...
My goodness.
No, I don't want to do it.
I don't want to have anything to do with Hope Welfare Center.
You can go ahead and do it.
Don't you feel bad for those kids?
He's a murderer. He does not deserve my pity.
Maybe he wouldn't have turned out like that had you saved him.
You said Yoon Jae was with other kids that day.
Then you should've at least saved them.
Other kids?
Right.
There were other kids too.
- Help! - Ma'am, help us.
- Ma'am! - Save us!
They'll kill us!
- Help us! - Ma'am!
Ma'am...
Help us!
- Help! - Ma'am!
Gosh.
That's odd.
I couldn't foresee that kid's future.
No.
Maybe it's not that I couldn't foresee it.
Perhaps, I had already seen it.
He's coming out!
- Get him on camera. - Get him!
- Get him. - Just a comment, please.
Why did you kill them?
- Do you admit to the charges? - Will you apologize to the victims?
They owe us an apology.
- "Us?" What do you mean? - Was there an accomplice?
What happened at Hope Welfare Center?
- A comment, please. - The victims...
- Say something to the victims. - Do you have anything to say?
- How do you feel? - Say something!
Don't you feel bad for the bereaved?
- One moment! - Just a comment, please!
Why did you kill them?
Don't you feel bad for the bereaved?
- Say something! - What really happened?
- Just a comment! - Why did you kill them?
- Why did you kill them? - Why did you do that?
Just a comment, please.
You remember everything, right?
- Tell us. - Say something!
- Why did you kill them? - Say something to the bereaved.
Don't you feel bad for the bereaved?
- Can we get a comment? - Wait!
- No, wait! - One moment!
- No! - Wait!
Sung Hoon.
Hey.
We've just completed his habeas corpus proceedings.
- Really? - Yes.
"Really?"
That's all you can say after seeing this?
Hey, it's not like he cuffed you.
Why take it out on him?
Did you tell this idiot where he could find the evidence?
Hey.
You can't do this.
Let's go, Seok Gu. I'll see you later, Sung Hoon.
Sung Hoon.
You must have another plan. Sung Hoon.
Hey!
Hey, be quiet.
(Producer Bae Chul Ho)
Yes.
Okay.
What?
Have you found the answer to the question about that necklace?
Yes.
I sure have. The answer was very touching.
It was touching?
I guess you haven't found the answer yet.
What?
Do you still not know who made you like that?
Do you really not remember what happened?
Are you just pretending not to remember?
Or do you not want to know the truth?
Hey.
Be honest.
I bet you're afraid...
of finding out the truth.
- Seok Gu. - Yes.
Sung Jun!
Sung Jun, are you okay?
Sung Jun.
You can have this.
This was yours in the first place.
Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
Your real name is Jung Yoon Jae.
You lived at Hope Welfare Center before you came to our house.
Hope Welfare Center?
Scary people live there.
There, everyone called you Number 13.
Scary people? Who are they?
Crazy Dog.
If Crazy Dog catches you, he will kill you.
Don't tell anyone that you used to live at Hope Welfare Center.
If Mom and Dad find out, they'll abandon you there.
Don't cry!
Don't be sad, and don't resent anyone.
You see,
it's your own fault for being born to your parents.
Wearing that necklace...
meant that we were family.
Because I thought of you as my real brother.
Sung Hoon...
You said Sung Hoon betrayed you.
What did you mean by that?
So have you found the answer?
I'm asking you to explain what it means.
(Our priority is to protect child actors...)
(and animals and the dangerous scenes...)
(were not shot with real children or animals...)
(but with doubles and dummies.)
(Blind)
Your second chance to make up for your mistake.
He knows everything.
Pretend it happened when it didn't?
Don't do that.
I really don't know what I'd do if you keep this up.
Hold on to this, Eun Ki.
Let me out for just one day.
You roped my brother into it.
He didn't start this because of me.
This time, get it right.
What do you think I'll do next?
