Come on. Let's go.
Do it right.
Do it right, you idiot!
Hey!
Hey! Isn't it cold?
Don't come near me!
- Stop it. It's cold! - Why not?
Stop it.
Stop it!
My gosh. Stop!
Get over here. Come on!
It's so cold, I'm sorry.
Get over here.
Stop it! Don't!
It's Sergeant Choi.
Stick your tongue out.
Stick your tongue out before I break your skull open.
That's right.
From this moment, clean everything with your tongue, not a rag.
The floor of the bathroom, the sinks, and the toilets...
Understand?
Right now.
Look at this punk.
How dare you disobey an order from your drill sergeant?
Please don't do this.
Please...
Sergeant Choi.
I thought I told you we're having a guest in two days.
I know.
But this punk isn't cleaning properly.
I don't like it.
Hurry up and clean!
It was about three years ago on a routine inspection day.
One of the kids gave a note to a guest that came.
"Help me."
"I'm locked up in here."
What do you think that guest did?
He came to me with that kid's note.
That kid was 13 years old at the time, I think.
How unfortunate.
If he hadn't done something so foolish,
he wouldn't have been beaten to death at the age of 13.
Let's not do anything stupid.
Unless you want to end up dead like that kid.
Give me my necklace back.
- Yoon Jae. - My sister...
gave me that necklace.
Give it back.
Number 13. Do you want to go to the storage room?
Give it back! Give my necklace back!
Stop it, you punk!
I'm sorry. This will never happen again.
I'm sorry.
Yoon Jae. That hurt, didn't it?
I'm so sorry.
- Why did you do that to me? - What?
You should've gone after Crazy Dog and gotten the necklace back.
Why did you hit me?
Because I had to protect you.
I promised Yoon Jung that I'd protect you.
No matter what happens,
I will keep you safe.
You trust me, right?

(Judge's Bench)
That wench started it.
That wench threw her food tray on my face,
stuffed my locker with trash,
put her pouch in my bag,
and framed me as a thief.
I just did the same thing to her,
so why do I have to get punished?
Why are you only doing this to me?
You!
Where do you think you are? Enough with the swearing!
(Defendant)
If you do it again, I'll hold you in contempt of court.
Besides, Jo Eun Ki.
You didn't just do the same thing to her.
If you felt wronged about something,
you should've asked a teacher or some other adult for help.
No matter how much you hated her,
how could you smash dog poop in someone's face?
Adult, my foot.
You apologize to her first.
I don't want to.
I won't. I can't.
I'd rather go to juvenile detention.
I can't apologize to a wench like her.
Not you. You!
- Me? - Yes, you.
You apologize to her first.
(Muyeong Local Court)
- Why did you do that to me? - Why haven't you gone home yet?
Adults never like to hand things out for free.
You want something from me, don't you?
What is it?
- Do you want me? - You little...
You little punk, how dare you say such a thing?
- Where did you learn your manners? - Then what is it?
You took my side earlier.
And you gave me probation. Why?
You screamed at me all throughout the trial to help you.
That's how it sounded to me.
This young thing is screaming at me for help.
How could I, as an adult, look the other way?
Enough, you brat!
Then Judge Ryu's son is...
The people outside are looking everywhere to arrest you.
While masquerading as a detective,
you killed my daughter, Chief Yeom's daughter,
and Jung Man Chun and his family.

Get out.
This is my business card.
Feel free to contact me anytime if you need my help.
I'll help with anything.

Hello?
Who is this?
It's me.
Wait. So...
Is this Detective Ryu?
Your offer to help with anything.
Can I take you up on that now?
If you look up the payphone number online,
you will be able to find me.
Don't tell anyone about this. You must...
come alone.
This is it.
(Call if payphone is out of service.)
(Payphone)
Detective Ryu.
Detective.
Detective...
Detective Ryu.
Detective.

Detective Ryu?
Detective.
You actually came. I didn't think you'd come.
Hold on. I think we need to get you to a hospital first.
Can you get up?
Careful.
Your leg.
What's wrong?
(Muyeong Community Children's Center)
Darn it.
Are you the driver they sent?
The car key...
Hang on, I'll get you the key.
Hey.

I have the key somewhere.

What did the President say?
Nothing yet.
He must want me to step down myself.
Did Sung Jun really...
No.
No way. It mustn't be true.
I worked so hard to get here.
Let's give it time. The truth will come out.
I'm worried about Sung Hoon.
He'll be criticized for his ruling on Jung Man Chun.
(Ryu Sung Hoon, Resign!)
(We want the biased judge gone!)
(Ryu Sung Hoon, Resign!)
We've been getting complaints all day.
(We want the biased judge gone!)
They think you sentenced an innocent man...
to cover up your brother's crime.
Some people even sued you for dereliction of duty.
How about you take a break until things die down?
You lost him? Are you that useless?
I practically handed him over to you,
and you couldn't get rid of him?
You always get sloppy toward the end.
You pathetic fool.
He's smart, so he won't show himself.
He won't last long on his own.
He'll go to someone for help.
Who do you know that he can call for help?
If I tell you, will you abduct that person too...
and torture them?
Don't get involved and make things even worse.
You be on standby.
I'll call when Ryu Sung Jun appears.
Take the men and search the trail starting at...
where Ryu Sung Jun disappeared.
Yes, sir.
Boss.
Do you think Ryu Sung Jun hitched a ride in a passing car?
The car.

You're saying they have wanderlust.
No, it's not wanderlust.
- They ruin their fortune... - Welcome.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
You're all here?
Mr. Kang asked me to read his daughter's fortune.
I don't usually believe in this stuff,
but I've been having weird dreams.
I'm here for a drink with him.
I'm here because Charles called.
What about you?
Oh, I craved the sushi.
Can you pack me a plate to go?
Sure thing.
You came all this way on a weekend? I'm honored.
I think I heard one of your regulars is a detective.
Have you heard anything about Detective Ryu?
Yes, I'd been wanting to know. How are things looking?
- Was he arrested? - No, he's still at large.
Everyone's on standby and detectives haven't been home in days.
But they found no trace of him yet.
Do you think they're pretending they didn't catch him...
while in reality they're hiding him?
The detectives are already suspecting each other,
and they're all quite hostile.
Eun Ki, you don't think he's a murderer, do you?
- What? - I don't either.
How likely is a guy who risked his life...
to save a hostage a serial killer?
I wouldn't be so sure. No job is as ideal...
as being a cop to hide their serial killer identity.
Dogs.
That detective was afraid of dogs.
That's so random. What dog?
When I met the detective last time.
I saw into his childhood.
There was a hound this big and he cowered in fear.
He trembled and said, "Go away."
Did you see anything other than a dog?
Excuse me.
We have rules and morals too.
We don't divulge our clients' secrets.
You told us everything already.
Rules and morals, my foot.
So, can we go back to this?
Tell me the rest.
No. Aren't we here to discuss your daughter?
Well...
Let's have a look.
I'll start the brief on Man Chun's family's murder.
(Jung Man Chun's Family's Murder)
(Movements)
At 1:40pm, shortly after Jung fell to his death, Ryu Sung Jun...
left the basement level parking...
and headed to the motel where Jung's wife and son were.
(Security footage from outside of motel)
Ryu Sung Jun was caught on the CCTV cameras...
outside of the motel.
Ryu Sung Jun went straight into the room...
and murdered Jung Man Chun's wife, Yang Ji Rim,
and his son, Jung Won Woong.
These are the crime scene photos from when they were murdered.
Ryu Sung Jun then got into the car and left the motel.
(Travel Route)
Then he left the car in a tunnel about 10km away and ran.
We did an extensive search in the area...
where the car was found,
but we have yet to find any traces of him.
We have had no witness...
nor do we have any record of his credit cards being used.
Wasn't Jung Man Chun's son seven years old?
What's the motive behind killing such a young child?
Everything's still speculation at this point,
but the working theory...
is that he's the real culprit behind the Joker Murders.
In court, Jung Man Chun testified...
that Baek Ji Eun was murdered by Ryu Sung Jun.
If this is true,
Ryu Sung Jun framed Jung Man Chun for murder,
and when he found out that he witnessed the murder,
he tried to get rid of any future trouble.
Are you keeping an eye on everyone...
- Ryu Sung Jun would contact? - Yes, sir.
The Violent Crimes Team...
is taking shifts watching Ryu Sung Jun's family,
and they've compiled a list of acquaintances to question.
- What are you doing? - Oh, my gosh!
Are you re-enacting a scene from "Misery?"
Why weren't you breathing? I thought you were dead.
Wait. Hold on.
What do you mean by "Misery?"
I need to live too. You might really be a murderer.
Why would you buy sushi for a potential murderer?
Well, I guess you could say it's a type of torture.
"Torture?"
Tell me what happened.
Is what they're saying on the news true?
Did you really kill all those people?
Then what's with all your injuries...
and who were those people last night?
If you're not honest with me, I won't give you food.
Can you untie me first?
I'm dying to know what's going on too.
Why would you untie me so easily?
What if I really was a murderer?
I gave it a lot of thought too.
"Should I report you to the police?"
"Will you try to go somewhere else once you got better?"
But I decided to trust you.
You're not only the person who saved my life,
but you're also Judge Ryu Il Ho's son.
You know my father?
Of course. The Scolding Judge.
Hey...
Can you give me your cellphone? I want to see the news.
("Suspect of Jung Man Chun’s Wife and Child's Murder is a Detective")
(Murderer Jang Man Chun's wife and child found dead in a motel.)
(The prime suspect of their murder is Detective Ryu Sung Jun.)
Won Woong is dead?
You shouldn't sigh in front of food.
It takes away luck.
I have no luck to begin with.
Ma'am. Have you heard from Sung Jun?
- No, right? - If he contacted me,
do you think I would tell you guys?
I guess you don't know the law yet.
If you hide a criminal, you'll be punished for harboring a criminal.
Do as you please. I'm not afraid of such things.
You don't deserve to eat.
(In Seong's Place)
Eat.
You won't be able to go on a stakeout if you're hungry.
You should be careful too.
I'm sure you want to believe that Ryu Sung Jun's not the culprit,
but the identification reports and the autopsy reports...
all point to Ryu Sung Jun as the culprit.
I get it, so sit down and eat.
Eat your food, you punk.
- Why are you getting so mad? - What are you talking about?
I'm taking care of my team!
Detective Kang, sit down and eat.
Hey. Have these side dishes and eat all of this too.
Hey. You can have my soup too.
Eat up.
(In Seong's Place)
Yes, this is Detective Kim Seok Gu. Who may I ask is calling?
- Seok Gu. It's me. - Sung Jun?
Where are you?
Let's talk about that later.
Is it true that Jung Man Chun's son was found dead?
Yes. He was found dead at the scene.
- What's the cause of death? - Sung Jun. You didn't do it. Right?
Detective Kang is claiming you killed Jung Man Chun's family...
and that you're behind the Joker Murders.
- But that doesn't make any sense. - What's the cause of death?
It was asphyxiation by occlusion of the nose and mouth.
Where are you right now? I'll go to you.
It won't be easy since Detective Kang is always close by,
but I'll do everything I can to excuse myself.
So just tell me where you are, and I'll...
Who was it?
Well...
- It was my girlfriend. - The number isn't saved,
but it's your girlfriend?
I only asked her out a few days ago.
I'm sorry.
(Calling)
Seok Gu. We suddenly got disconnected.
I was inside an elevator.
I know you're busy, so get back to work.
Let's talk again later.
Get in line with the right people.
Why aren't you following me?
I'm your superior now.
Stay by my side until we get Ryu Sung Jun.
Yes, sir.
You should eat something.
You need to eat well to recover fast.
[VIU Ver] tvN E05 'Blind' "A Certain Promise" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Listen to me as you eat.
This place you're in...
is the storage room in the backyard of the center I work in.
People rarely come back here,
so you won't have any issues hiding out here.
But just in case, try to avoid going outside.
Who's at the center right now?
It's just me.
The employees and kids come during the week at 9am,
and they all leave at 6pm.
Do you live here?
Yes. After what happened, I moved out of the rooftop room.
I see.
I have absolutely no memory of how I got here.
I don't think you want to know how you got here.
I'm sorry.
I'll repay you after I clear my name.
"Clear your name?"
So you've been framed?
I feel so much better after hearing you say that.
Hold on. Why did you choose me?
Am I the only person who can help you regardless?
What do you take me for?
Do you think I'm the type to latch onto you...
and rely on you while I'm in hiding?
It just so happened that I had your business card in my pocket,
so I had no choice but to call you.
As for other people...
I couldn't remember anyone else's numbers.
These stupid smartphones are ruining our memory skills.
Then what about you, Eun Ki?
Tell me how many phone numbers you remember.
None, right?
Fine.
I'll be back in the evening. Make sure to eat everything. Okay?
Oh, right. Can you take off the clothes you have on right now?
I'll have them washed.
Well...
I won't look.
Won Woong was definitely alive when I left the motel.
What happened?
You know I'm not supposed to do this, right?
If you don't want to, I'll be off.
You're really different from Sung Jun.
I meant, I'm not supposed to, but I'll make an exception for you.
(National Institute for Scientific Investigation)
(Jung Man Chun Case Autopsy Report)
Is there any direct evidence that proves Sung Jun murdered anyone?
Yes.
His fingerprints were found on the weapon used to kill Jung's wife.
And his hair was found on the clothes of the child,
who died of asphyxiation.
(Evidence 2, hair)
I don't think a strand of hair can become direct evidence.
Still, it's better than nothing.
And we ran a DNA test,
but it was no use since the child was wet.
Considering how there was water in the boy's duodenum and stomach,
he probably tried to drown him but failed...
and suffocated him with the pillow instead.
When someone is suffocated with a pillow,
you can find hints of hypodermal bleeding around the nose and mouth.
(Hypodermal bleeding confirmed around nose and mouth)
By the way, aren't you shocked?
By what?
Sung Jun would never have left this kind of evidence.
He's not smart like you,
but leaving behind his fingerprints, footprints,
and even a strand of hair at the scene?
He's not that big an idiot.
I wouldn't be surprised if he committed the perfect crime.
How does it look for Jung Man Chun's side?
Did you get some evidence there?
On that side,
we found a button with Sung Jun's fingerprint...
near the railing.
(Button found near the railing of the rooftop)
Oh, no. This looks like it'll come off.
Sung Hoon. Do you have any thread?
(Do not cross.)
(Under construction)
- Oh, no. - Hey!
What happened?
The person I saw back then... Could it be Sung Jun?
Go away.
Go away...
No.
Go away.
Hello?
Yes, hello.
It's been a while since Yu Na came to the center.
Goodness. Is that so?
Hey! Are you crazy?
You can't cut in like that!
What do you want?
Taxi.
(Empty)
Yu Na!
Darn it. Not again.
Yu Na. Talk to me for a bit.
Come on.
What? How rude.
Yu Na. I have something to say. It won't take long.
Yu Na!
Where to?
Yu Na!
Hey, Kwon Yu Na.
- Yu Na. - Oh, gosh.
Hey, Yu Na! Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Get off me! Darn it.
I broke my heel because of you, lady!
This is so annoying!
Your school called earlier.
You're going to be suspended if you miss your exams again.
Let them do whatever they want!
Suspension or expulsion, I'm not afraid of anything.
You don't want to study, right?
Is there something you want to do besides studying?
If there's anything you want to learn, tell me.
I'll look into free courses or academies for you.
And next week, I think we'll have a spot open up at the shelter.
You can stay at the shelter and think about what to do...
Gosh, darn it!
Butt out, will you?
You must think you're really important or something.
You're just a social worker.
Kwon Yu Na. Do you know what the really scary thing is?
Expulsion? Sure, that's not scary at all.
The really scary thing is when...
you find yourself in a position where you're being wronged,
and you scream for help at the top of your lungs,
but nobody sees you.
And nobody is by your side. Do you really want that?
Then look me in the eyes and say it.
If you really want,
I'll let go...
of this hand.
Did I ask you to hold my hand?
What on earth are these dreams?
They feel like memories from my childhood.
Even when you were young,
your eyes were different from the other kids.
Mr. Baek spoke as if he knew me since I was young.
But why do I have no memory of him?
Why did you kill her?
Did you get revenge for what I did to you on her?
On her 20th birthday?
If killing Baek Ji Eun...
was a way to get back at Mr. Baek,
then what about Yeom Hye Jin?
You killed my daughter, Chief Yeom's daughter,
and Jung Man Chun and his family.
Serial killer Jung Yoon Jae.
He said the killer's name was Yoon Jae.
Someone killed people in my name?
(Muyeong Community Children's Center)
Darn, what is going on?
(Donated goods, clothing, and shoes)
Who are you?
Why did you sneak in here?
Are you the driver they sent?
- Do you work here? - I asked you a question first.
I'm looking for someone.
Can I take a look inside the storage room?
Why would you look for someone here?
This is where we store the donated goods.
I'll have to see for myself...
to confirm whether that's true or not, young lady.
Don't move!
Police? I'm calling from Muyeong Community Children's Center.
We have burglars here. One of them is holding a knife.
Please hurry.
Do you happen to know...
Detective Ryu Sung Jun?
Ryu Sung Jun? Who's that?
The man who was here just now...
is the one I saw in front of the payphone the other day.
Why is he looking for you?
That man is Baek Ji Eun's father.
I'm sorry I got you into trouble.
I'll leave.
If I stay here, you'll be put in danger too.
You'll leave, then what?
- Do you have a plan? - I never have plans.
You need help right now.
You said someone framed you.
You have to catch the killer to clear your name.
And to do that, you'd need a car, money, and information.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.
However, I can't let you leave alone in that state.
Other than Detective Kim Seok Gu, is there anyone who can help you?
No, no one.
What kind of life have you led...
that you can't think of a single person who would help you?
Back in school,
I was busy beating up those who got on my nerves...
that I never had the time to make friends.
And I've been busy catching perps ever since I became a cop,
so I have more enemies now and no friends.
Then what about your family?
Why won't you tell your family?
Because you don't want to worry them?
But they're your family. If not them, who would...
I was adopted.
Since I was little,
I've always failed to meet my parents' expectations.
But maybe it's only natural.
I don't even know who birthed me...
or where I come from.
The only thing I was ever good at was beating people up.
It's been a very long time since my parents...
started regretting their decision to adopt me.
They regret it? How do you know?
When I was young,
I happened to overhear them talking about it.
That must've made you very upset.
But if your parents had truly regretted it,
they would've filed for dissolution.
They care too much about how other people would judge them.
Right.
That matters to adults.
I rarely talk about this stuff with anyone.
You're the first one.
I didn't think you'd give up unless I let you in on my secret.
Thanks for letting me be the first one to hear about your secret,
but I still won't give up.
- What about your brother? - My brother?
I mean, he's a judge. Won't he help you?
My brother puts the law and his principles above all else.
If he finds out where I'm hiding now,
he'll be the first to call the cops on me.
I don't want to get anyone roped into this and put them in a pickle.
I understand that you don't want to get him roped into it, but...
Are you afraid?
That he'd actually reject your call for help?
What? Come on.
Honestly, you have no idea what my brother is like.
Then why don't we try?
You said you weren't afraid.
(Muyeong Local Court)
My brother is like a high-end watch...
that's never been broken.
Every day, he wakes up at the same time and works out.
He always arrives at work at the same time.
I'm sure he goes for lunch around the same time every day.
Around 12:30 to 12:40pm.
(Muyeong Local Court)
Let's go that way.
- Okay. - Let's go.
You dropped this.
All right, kids. Let's go that way.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Got it.
Sung Hoon. There's a lot I want to say, but let me just say this.
I didn't do it.
I know what you think of me,
but trust me just this once.
I really need your help right now.
Meet me there at 7pm today.
I'm giving this a shot because you want me to,
but don't get your hopes up. I know I'm right about this.
Okay. If he doesn't help you,
don't be disappointed.
(Muyeong Local Court)
My brother got in touch with me.
It's me.
Ryu Sung Jun showed up.
You'd better not make a mistake this time. Got it?
Oh, no...
(Happy birthday, Ji Eun.)
Oh, boy. They sent so many officers.
This is just my guess,
but I don't think he and Sung Jun are real brothers.
Not all siblings are close.
Some people feel closer to strangers.
Captain, do you think Sung Jun really sent that note?
"Sung Jun?"
Must you call a suspect so fondly?
Detective Kim, get your act together.
If you lose Ryu Sung Jun on purpose,
I'll get you fired. Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
All right. Since we're already in this mess,
let's catch him with our own hands.
He may be a murder suspect now, but he was like our family.
I can't let the others cuff him.
Do you understand?
- Yes, sir. - Oh, boy.
(Electric Supply)
Look.
Ryu Sung Jun is here. Stay frosty.
Sung Hoon.
It's Ryu Sung Jun. Get him!
It wasn't you, was it?
Get him!
- What's going on? - My gosh!
Gosh!
Go!
This way. Go, hurry!
Ryu Sung Jun. You have the right to remain silent.
(Grilled Fish)
Go this way.
(Briquette-grilled Pork Belly, Grilled Fish)
Who are you? What's your problem?
Shoot.
Darn it!
I told you...
that my brother would never help me.
I believe you were wrong.
Sung Hoon.
(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)
- It's not for your sake. - Jung Man Chun told me.
He said that's where the recording was.
What recording?
Do you not believe your brother?
There's one piece of evidence the police haven't explained yet.
He said the killer was in court that day.
The report on the jurors' texts and locations at the time.
At her time of death, only Choi Soon Gil was at the park.
- Yu Na! - I found the killer.
