Director Lee Myung Sin.
What should I do?
(Episode 15: The Designer)
Sung Jun!
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.
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.
Sung Hoon...
Wearing that necklace...
meant that we were family.
Because I thought of you as my real brother.
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.
I guess the shock therapy I used was quite efficient.
(Cell 2)
Why did you make me remember?
Because I felt bad for you.
You were suffering without knowing who was doing this to you.
Are you sure it wasn't because you didn't want to suffer alone?
Did he betray me?
Did Sung Hoon tell you?
Sung Hoon would never betray me.
Did you tell this idiot where he could find the evidence?
Hey.
You can't do this.
You must be really nervous.
What made you so nervous?
I was just frustrated.
That's too bad.
You'll have to rot in a cell smaller than this for the rest of your life.
Me?
In prison forever?
That would never happen.
A serial murderer...
will be sentenced to death regardless of who the judge is.
They might not carry out the death sentence,
but it doesn't change the fact you'll die in prison.
But you're certain you won't end up like that.
I guess you have something you can fall back on.
I'm not sure.
When did you start planning your murders?
From the moment...
he made you me.
That was a long time.
Did you plan this...
with him since then?
Do you want me to guess...
why you're so nervous?
You're...
afraid that my brother...
will betray you.
I thought about why...
you were so nervous.
There was only one answer.
You and Sung Hoon...
are accomplices.
Am I wrong?
I don't really understand what you're saying.
Instead of writing up a novel, do an investigation.
Do you know why...
accomplices betray each other?
In order to put the blame on the other person.
That way, they can get out of it safely.
Furthermore, if that accomplice is well respected in society...
and comes from a good home,
putting all the blame on a person like you...
would be a piece of cake.
While you're rotting away for the rest of your life in prison,
Sung Hoon will be outside living the life.
Are you okay with that?
Fine.
Go ahead...
and stay loyal.
(Accomplice number 3)
When did we miss the fact that Sung Hoon was an accomplice?
(1st Baek Ji Eun case, Baek Moon Kang's daughter)
(2nd Yeom Hye Jin case, Yeom Ki Nam's daughter)
(3rd Jo Eun Ki case, Jo In Sook's daughter)
(8th Kwon Yu Na case, Jo Eun Ki's student)
(9th Ryu Sung Hoon assault case, Hope Welfare Center's Number 11)
(Hope Welfare Center's Number 11, May 24 at 9pm)
Before the case at the riverbank,
I was thinking Sung Hoon was the culprit.
Even you are suspicious that I might be the culprit.
Sung Hoon had caught on and staged the whole thing.
All of this was...
planned meticulously by Sung Hoon.
Judge Ryu Sung Hoon at the Muyeong Local Court...
has decided to hold a jury trial.
Defendant Jung Man Chun...
is sentenced to life in prison.
The night that Jung Man Chun was holding a victim hostage,
I sent the jurors a text message.
All eight jurors except for Yeom Hye Jin texted back.
The time of their responses was between 11:30pm to 1am.
(3rd Jo Eun Ki case, Jo In Sook's daughter)
I know you won't believe me,
but it was all his idea.
A recording? What recording?
(Suspect Baek Moon Kang, Family murder)
The recorded call of Jung Man Chun and Baek Ji Eun's killer.
So, did you find it?
Mr. Choi got whacked.
He's been hit in the head.
He seemed to be in critical condition.
You went to Mr. Choi's place?
I clearly told you not to go anywhere without my permission.
Manager An is at Mr. Choi's place now.
It's a waste of time.
An Tae Ho will die if you keep barking up the wrong tree.
Sung Hoon. Weren't you at the wedding hall too?
(8th Kwon Yu Na case)
Kwon Yu Na. She's in danger.
Why did the culprit send you that text?
He must've been angry.
I'd thwarted him.
(10th case, kidnapping of 8 people related to Hope Welfare Center)
Two, four, zero.
The vacation home.
The address of the vacation home...
where Yoon Jung was locked up was 240.
There's only one other place near here...
that Yoon Jae would go.
Sung Hoon was always either at the scene of the crime...
or got involved in the investigation.
The reason he got involved in the investigation...
wasn't to solve the case...
but to interfere with it.
(People who will testify: Ryu Sung Hoon, Jo Eun Ki, Jo In Sook)
That should be enough for now.
What...
(Detective Ryu Sung Jun)
- Yes, Detective Ryu. - Eun Ki.
Was it you who wrote the address of the vacation home...
on the drawing by Number 45?
The address of the vacation home?
Yes. Two, four, zero.
Wasn't it you who circled the numbers?
No, it wasn't me.
I was just wondering who had circled those numbers too.
Okay.
This is...
Chief Yeom and my opinion.
It won't do you any good to look into the Hope Welfare Center case...
that's over 20 years old.
Just take what you can for your own interest.
That is true.
Even if I work myself to death to look into the case and edit it,
I wouldn't even get paid more.
Then...
are you accepting our offer?
Well...
I will drop the case.
(2002, Hope Welfare Center)
Did you perhaps make a copy and hide it somewhere?
If you did, you might really end up in trouble.
Come on, I'm not some thug.
That's all there is.
Good thinking.
You sure are wise, Producer Bae.
Did you drive here?
No, I left my car at the broadcasting station.
Good. Have a drink.
But...
I don't think this will go away easily...
just by shutting me up.
Are you saying we need to make someone else shut their mouth too?
No, I'm just saying.
But it's not like we're the only ones who know what happened then.
Crazy Dog is in prison, so he won't be a problem.
There's Nurse Jo and her daughter,
the shaman called Eungam-dong,
and In Seong's mom.
I'll talk to those people.
Make sure to look underneath your own nose too.
Underneath my own nose?
It's nothing.
I mean you should take every step with caution.
I'm sorry. My meeting ran late.
I just got here too.
- Isn't Producer Bae here yet? - No.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
You will be charged...
Is he not picking up?
His phone is turned off.
Did something happen?
I'm sure he'll be here soon.
I was a bit surprised when I heard Mr. Bae was going to do the show.
How did you persuade him?
Why is that so surprising?
When we were locked up in that basement prison,
I saw what kind of person he truly was.
They say a person shows their true colors when they're in danger.
I thought it wouldn't be easy for him to repent.
Why do you think it's so hard to apologize sincerely?
It's probably because even when apologizing,
people are weighing their benefits and losses.
There's usually more to lose than to gain.
I didn't say much to Producer Bae.
I only said...
that this would be his second chance to correct his past wrongdoing.
A second chance to correct his wrongdoing.
It's true.
Go meet with them...
and tell them that you're filming a documentary on Hope Welfare Center.
Give them some plausible excuse.
And tell them you have the tape from 20 years ago.
Yoon Jae already took that.
You want me...
to bluff that I have it?
And then what?
All we have to do is...
watch how those people react.
(2002, Hope Welfare Center)
What...
What's this?
Why... It's blank.
Darn it.
He...
This tape is blank!
The producer duped us!
Hang on.
Why did he...
tell a lie that would get found out so easily?
You're Minister Na Guk Hee, right?
Yes. That's me.
This is for you.
What's the matter?
What are these?
These photos. Where are they from?
Where are they from?
Just now, a man on a motorcycle gave them to me outside the house.
A motorcycle?
Bae Chul Ho, the producer?
- Was it him? - No.
How do you know that?
Oh, it's just not him.
It can't be Sung Hoon, can it?
Sung Hoon?
He's been acting strange lately.
And what Sung Jun said bothers me too.
It makes no sense that Sung Jun has memories of being adopted.
Not unless Sung Hoon planted them.
Why would he do that?
He knows everything.
He knows exactly what we did.
You're home.
You got home early.
How are things with Yoon Jae? Did you get a confession?
Eun Ki, let's talk outside.
Why did you want to talk out here?
Eun Ki.
Do you have a place to stay at for a while?
I do. I found a new place a while ago.
What's the matter?
My brother...
is a bit suspicious.
You can stay the night because I'll be here.
You need to move out tomorrow.
Don't give anyone your new address.
Not even my brother.
Okay.
And from now on, anything you hear about him,
I need you to share with me.
Okay.
Is this where he usually met Yoon Jae?
You're here for Bae Chul Ho, right?
Yes, hello.
I can't reach him.
He didn't come in today.
Oh, really?
Could I meet the writer he works with?
He doesn't work with a writer.
Isn't he working on a documentary on Hope Welfare Center?
You must be mistaken.
It did come up in a meeting,
but we haven't decided if we'll do it.
Then...
- Okay. Thanks a lot. - Bye.
(Social worker Jo Eun Ki)
Hi, Eun Ki.
Did you find a place?
Yes. The place I checked out was still available,
so I can move today.
Sorry. I should help you move.
It's fine. I don't have much stuff anyway.
I didn't call to tell you that.
There's something odd about Mr. Bae, the producer.
Producer Bae? What about him?
He didn't come to work today.
And he lied about the documentary on Hope Welfare Center.
About making the documentary...
Did you hear about it from him?
No, your brother did.
Eun Ki. Let me look into Producer Bae.
Don't worry too much. Good luck with the move.
I'll be in touch.
- Hey, Seok Gu. - You need to come over.
What is it?
Bae Chul Ho was murdered.
Seok Gu.
- Where were you? - I had stuff to take care of.
This had to be Lee Jung Soo.
Jung Yoon Jae's in the holding cell.
The only one who could...
kill the jurors is Lee Jung Soo.
Detective Park from Team Two said...
he hasn't seen Lee Jung Soo recently.
My gosh.
How incompetent.
There are two teams on the case,
but they couldn't find Lee Jung Soo?
Don't criticize others and focus on this case.
Get all the footage from the surrounding CCTV cameras...
and find out who Bae Chul Ho met with last.
Yes, sir.
You're here.
I thought you abandoned me.
What did you do this time?
I didn't do anything.
This place is suffocating.
Get me out of here soon.
It seems like Sung Jun heard something.
Oh, that?
Ryu Sung Jun seemed to have gotten half of his memories back,
so I helped him.
But he figured out right away who my accomplice was.
Are you saying he got back...
all of his memories?
Yes.
You didn't know?
Gosh, look at this punk.
So he knew everything,
but he's hiding it.
You're really...
a lost cause.
Why are you getting mad over a little joke?
Everything you've done so far is just a joke to you, isn't it?
But to someone else,
this is a plan they spent a lifetime making,
and it's still ongoing.
I know. Of course, I do.
But Ryu Sung Jun keeps talking nonsense.
He says you don't see me as a human being.
Do you know what he said yesterday?
He said you betrayed me to walk away from this alone.
So don't you think I'd get mad?
I don't know about anything else,
but it's true that I don't see you as a human being.
You've done too many things that you shouldn't have done.
I just took you out of the equation.
Don't do that.
If you do this,
I don't know what I will do.
Do whatever you can.
(Muyeong Police Station)
- I'm here from the police. - I see.
Did this man come here yesterday?
Yes, he did.
Did he come alone?
Yes. He came here alone,
but his party was waiting for him in the room.
His party?
How many people came?
Two people.
One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a woman.
She's really famous.
- She's famous? - Yes.
It was Minister Na Guk Hee.
Which room were they in?
Over here.
Did you hear what they were talking about in here?
We shouldn't eavesdrop.
[VIU Ver] tvN E15 'Blind' "The Designer" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Did you put this in here?
No.
What is that?
Let's check your CCTV.
The bag he left with isn't the same bag he went in with.
The person who put a hidden camera in the restaurant...
was Sung Hoon?
What did Sung Hoon want to find out...
by putting a hidden camera in there?
Did you meet with Chief Yeom and Producer Bae last night?
What did you talk about?
We didn't talk about much.
Chief Yeom wanted to get dinner together.
We just had a quick meal and parted ways.
Why did you bring a bag of money for a quick meal?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Everything was caught on camera.
The bag you brought with you...
was carried out by Producer Bae.
It wasn't money.
It was filled with documents. Unimportant documents.
Mom, a person died.
Tell me the truth.
I was being blackmailed.
About what?
Producer Bae...
said he'd reveal everything that happened 20 years ago...
unless we gave him money.
That's why I gave him the money. That's all.
I don't know anything else.
What happened 20 years ago?
Do you mean what happened at Hope Welfare Center?
What on earth happened at Hope Welfare Center...
for Producer Bae to have blackmailed you?
Are you not going to tell me?
Because of what happened at Hope Welfare Center 20 years ago,
innocent people have died.
How could you be so brazen?
Just because you turn a blind eye to it,
it doesn't change the fact that something happened.
Who else...
knows besides you?
Please. Make the right decision.
(Brother)
Hey.
Where are you?
Why?
Let's meet.
I'm busy right now. Just say what you have to say.
Producer Bae. You killed him, didn't you?
Why do you think that I killed him?
You're the one who installed the hidden camera at the restaurant.
You wanted to see how Producer Bae, Chief Yeom, and Mom would act.
You wanted to check if they were the same as they were 20 years ago,
or if they had changed.
But these people...
They haven't changed a bit.
So you killed Producer Bae first.
Then are you going to kill...
Chief Yeom and Mom too?
You're pretty good.
Sung Hoon. Are you crazy?
Sung Jun.
Guess what my next move will be.
Don't get it wrong this time.
Sung Hoon.
Sung Hoon...
Earlier today, a murder occurred in Muyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
The victim has been confirmed as Producer Bae of NTBS...
who was one of the jurors in the Joker Murder Case.
Mr. Bae was discovered with a head wound...
- in an alleyway. - I'll pay for these.
The police assume this was the doing of the accomplice...
of serial killer Jung Yoon Jae...
and are pursuing the suspect.
Judge Ryu.
(Courtrooms, Civil Complaints Department)
(Criminal Division 1 Chief Judge's Office)
What are you doing here?
- I came to ask you a favor. - What favor?
Please hold onto this.
What is this?
You'll know once you see it. This file...
I'm sure you will make the best use of this.
Then I'll be going.
Judge Ryu. Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to take care of my affairs.
You're...
not the accomplice, right?
Step outside.
You wanted to see me.
What do you want?
Let me out just for a day.
What are you saying? Darn it.
Your corruption.
The evidence of your corruption.
I know where that is.
I'll bring you that evidence. I just need one day.
You're a psycho with a death sentence.
How dare you try to bargain with me?
That evidence you speak of...
is at the bottom of a river right now.
I took your cell phone and your laptop's hard drive...
and threw them in the Han River before they ran forensics on them.
Bad guys never believe what people say.
That punk, Producer Bae, conned me with a blank tape.
How pathetic can you guys get?
I thought there was some new evidence or something.
I got nervous for no reason.
Yoon Jae.
If I could have it my way,
I'd rip you to pieces with my own hands.
But I'm holding back since it seems I don't have to get my hands dirty.
You don't have much longer to live.
Enjoy the air in here as much as you want.
Make sure to eat your meals too.
Okay?
Think about it...
before it's too late.
Sung Jun.
Guess what my next move will be.
Don't get it wrong this time.
(Muyeong Police Station)
Jung Yoon Jae.
Get up. Get up, you punk!
An early morning interrogation with no consent is illegal.
It's a violation of human rights.
Who is the next target that my brother is going to kill?
Who is he going to kill after Producer Bae?
I didn't kill him.
Did my brother kill him?
This is interesting.
What?
Was Producer Bae not part of your plan?
What will you do for me if I tell you that?
I don't make deals with a murderer.
Then why did you come here so early in the morning?
You knew that I wouldn't give it up so easily.
Because I have to stop Sung Hoon.
If only my brother hadn't met you when he was young,
he wouldn't have become the monster that he is now.
Even when you pushed me off the slide,
he tried to protect you because you were like a brother to him.
That's probably why he did that.
You forced my brother to take part in this revenge too.
Isn't that right?
You must really like Sung Hoon.
You're mistaken on one thing.
Sung Hoon didn't start because of me.
The person who mapped out this revenge...
was him, not me.
It was Sung Hoon's plan from the very beginning.
Based on the evidence we've collected so far,
we will decide on the targets of our revenge and how to do it.
The first target is...
Crazy Dog, Baek Moon Kang.
He runs a meat processing plant on the outskirts of the city.
He has a wife and a daughter who just got into college.
He's enjoying a happy middle-class lifestyle with his family.
And he adores his daughter?
As for Crazy Dog,
we'll make him experience what he did to us in this torture chamber.
- Exactly what he did to us? - Yes.
That is the rule of our revenge.
Next is Yeom Ki Nam.
He is currently the chief of Muyeong Police.
His daughter is a divorcee, and he has a young grandson.
He still hasn't quit that old habit of his.
He still takes bribes and has accumulated wealth.
Hey.
Who do you think is most dear to Crazy Dog and Chief Yeom?
For Crazy Dog, it must be his daughter.
For Chief Yeom, it's probably his grandson.
We cannot punish their family members.
Our goal is revenge, not murder.
You said the rule was that we should do exactly what was done to us.
Have you already forgotten the fact that Yoon Jung died because of them?
I'll execute the punishment.
Just give me the go-ahead.
(Yeom Ki Nam)
Don't hurt the kid.
Okay.
Then as for Chief Yeom, I'll target his daughter.
Next is Choi Soon Gil.
He's a taxi driver.
He lives in a redevelopment area...
and is looking for his wife who ran away 20 years ago.
His charges are...
habitual assault and assault causing death.
Then he should be beaten to death.
Next, An Tae Ho.
In Tae Ho's case, there were extenuating circumstances,
so I'll give him a chance.
Extenuating circumstances? He killed his friend.
He's my friend. That's why.
- What kind of chance? - A chance to be saved.
This is ridiculous.
If you don't want to obey me,
take your hands off this and go back to the US.
Keep going.
Bae Chul Ho.
He's still greedy for money and lies all the time.
He's guilty of turning a blind eye when he clearly saw it...
and for not speaking out when he should have.
Should we gouge out this scumbag's eyes...
or pull out his tongue?
Don't cross the line.
We'll make him spill the truth of his own accord.
Next, Kang Young Ki.
He's guilty of feeding the children rotten foods.
Let's burn his esophagus so he won't be able to eat anything.
He has a daughter who is supposed to get married soon.
He won't be able to eat anything at his daughter's wedding...
and will be rushed to the ER.
Next, Jo In Sook.
She did try to save us but also sat by and watched.
Her daughter, Jo Eun Ki, will find out the truth,
and we'll punish her.
Jo Eun Ki.
She's an angel.
Once she finds out whose filthy blood is flowing in her veins...
It'll be fun to watch.
The last one is Kwon Kyung Ja.
She's guilty of seeing something she shouldn't have seen...
and failing to fulfill her duty to save us.
The seven of them will attend a jury trial as jurors.
Once you take care of Baek Ji Eun,
someone will be wrongfully accused of the murder,
and a jury trial will be held.
I'll be the presiding judge of the trial.
You and Charles should be on the jury as well.
Just like that, we'll punish them one by one.
He planned the revenge,
and I simply executed the plan.
And like you said,
it's not over yet.
Earlier today, we received a video...
from an anonymous informant.
The video shows an incumbent police chief and minister...
bribing Producer Bae who is now deceased...
to make sure the show wouldn't go on the air.
It won't do you any good to look into the Hope Welfare Center case...
that's over 20 years old.
Just take what you can for your own interest.
I will drop the case.
Darn it.
The anonymous informant who sent this video...
said they'd send another video tomorrow...
and that the second video would be even more shocking.
No...
I bet this is exactly what you did back then too.
You were afraid your civil service career would be over for good.
Is that why you covered it up?
What?
You think...
I covered it up for my own sake?
No, not at all.
I did it to protect you.
Because you went to that vacation home!
What?
Did you think I wouldn't know what went down in that place?
They took the girls at Hope Welfare Center...
and made them offer sexual favors to the guests.
The things you did there...
I know...
everything.
All of it.
You're mistaken on one thing.
Sung Hoon didn't start because of me.
The person who mapped out this revenge...
was him, not me.
Sung Hoon won't stop here.
- Eun Ki. - Detective Ryu.
Do you know where Judge Ryu Il Ho is now?
- Why are you looking for my father? - I'm worried about him.
Judge Ryu Sung Hoon gave me this last night.
It's a petition he wrote when he was young.
Hello, Judge Ryu Il Ho.
I'm a 15-year-old boy who lives at Hope Welfare Center.
My name is Im Sung Hoon.
Judge Ryu Il Ho!
- Judge Ryu Il Ho! - You brat.
Are you here to see me?
A little while ago, my friends and I got caught while trying to escape.
My friend, Number 24, got hit by the officers' car and died.
Number 12 almost lost his foot because it got caught in a trap.
And Number Seven...
was locked in a mental hospital, then went missing.
Why did we have to risk our lives to escape?
I'm writing this...
to tell you what kinds of things had happened...
at Hope Welfare Center.
Okay, I'll refer to this.
Thank you.
My father was connected to the case too.
But nothing changed.
Director Lee Myung Sin was only punished for embezzlement.
- With a 3.5-year sentence. - Embezzlement?
(My Brother)
What is it?
Come to the fishing spot in Ojeong-ri.
I have to go.
(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)
Atonement?
It wasn't done to help you with your revenge.
Evidence?
It's not over yet.
I didn't know you were so cowardly and despicable.
Have you ever truly thought of me as your brother?
Keep your eyes wide open and watch what I do.
A jury trial?
Then I have no choice...
but to stick to my plan.
