Ko Dae Soo just woke up.
He suddenly got a cardiac arrest.
A patient who doesn't suffer from heart diseases...
had a cardiac arrest without external injuries.
Her vital is normal,
but she hasn't woken up, and her body is stiff.
We'll know once we run through a test...
as this is a rare case.
It seems highly likely she might be in a persistent vegetative state.
A vegetative state.
Who are you?
(Episode 7)
Are you trying to kill my grandson again?
After you came here,
my grandson ended up in that state!
This is all because of you!
Oh, dear me!
- Ma'am. Ma'am. - Goodness.
- Are you all right, ma'am? - Gosh.
Who are you? Why are you helping me?
- I'm from the police. - What?
If you scream in here,
your grandson won't feel at ease either.
Ma'am, we'll catch the culprit no matter what.
That's why this prosecutor came here too.
My grandson is the only one suffering from all this. Goodness.
Gosh, I was really tired today.
Thank you, ma'am.
Dae Soo wanted me to drink that drink.
He would bring them to me every day.
He'd bring you this?
He said whenever he went to the arcade,
he would get one for free there.
He wouldn't drink it though.
He used to bring me a bottle every single time.
Ma'am.
I'm sure your grandson will wake up.
He must.
I can only imagine how much his medical bills would come out.
He has to wake up.
Ma'am.
Did Mr. Ko Dae Soo have a tattoo?
My grandson wouldn't get a tattoo.
Did you not know about the tattoo on his wrist?
This is the first time seeing this tattoo.
Ever since he was young,
he was scared of getting shots.
He told me that he would never get a tattoo.
Ma'am.
Could you give us permission to search your house?
- My house? - Yes.
In order for us to catch the culprit who did this to him,
we must find out whom he was close to first.
My grandson...
hates it when people go into his room.
- It will only take a minute. - Ma'am.
I'll go with the prosecutor and search the house together.
Okay then.
- You can go down first. - Pardon?
I'll go down once I ask the nurse to look after Da In while I'm gone.
Okay.
By the way, how is the tattoo on Ko Dae Soo related to the case?
After Da In...
ended up in a vegetative state,
she got a tattoo on her wrist.
What?
Ko Dae Soo has the same tattoo...
on his wrist.
What? How...
That's what I'm trying to find out.
I must find out how this happened.
(Chinese food: 362-2145)
- Come here! - Hey, slow down.
- You can't go off like that. - Mom! Dad!
- Come on! - Hey, wait up!
Hurry! hurry up!
Young Ji!
Mr. Kim!
Are you all right?
In November 2003.
Kim Tae Goo, the cleaner at the amusement park,
set the Dream Tower on fire.
It resulted in 101 deaths and 292 casualties.
It was a terrible tragedy.
The tattoo on Da In and Ko Dae Soo's wrist is the same...
with the pattern of the stamp this amusement park pressed on kids.
How do you know that?
I often went there...
when I was young.
Let me come up with a hypothesis.
After going into a vegetative state because of something,
a stamp pattern...
of the Dream World, an amusement park...
from 16 years ago, shows up on the victims' wrists.
Gosh, I feel like I'm falling into a more complicated maze.
I have to be somewhere else.
Bye.
Wait, no.
I'll go with you.
What is it? Do you see an answer on my face?
Let's go.
(Live 7080, Sing, dance, and meet people!)
Where did the counter clerk with tattoos go?
Why are you asking?
He's at a hospital now.
Darn it!
A crazy jerk cracked his head.
Which hospital?
He's in a coma. It will be a waste of your time.
Darn it. Why did you do that?
I'm with the police.
All of these surveillance cameras are recording, right?
Since we can't ask a man in a coma and Ko Dae Soo,
I'll use science and ventriloquism to analyze these videos...
even if sounds aren't recorded.
Then I'll...
go back to the hospital.
I think Da In might be waiting for me.
I'll give you a ride.
It's all right.
I'll take a cab. Please take care of that.
Sure.
For the past 40 years, Hwawon Group has grown into a leading company...
that now represents Korea in business industry.
Influential individuals whom Tree of Hope Foundation fostered...
are very well-known to the public.
The foundation produced assemblymen, prosecutors, judges,
renowned professors in the academic circles,
and this country's leading artists.
It's not an exaggeration to say that...
the talented individuals from this foundation...
will be the future leaders.
Sir.
How's your health these days?
Why?
Sorry?
Why do you want to know that?
Do you want me to die soon?
Sir, that's not what I meant.
The Times has chosen him as...
1 of the top 10 influential entrepreneurs in Asia.
Let's welcome Chairman Jo Se Hwang.
High five.
(Scholarship Certificate Delivery Ceremony)
Goodness, listen.
Please change my soundtrack.
You've been playing the same song for the past three years.
I'm terrible at dancing to begin with,
but thanks to you, I've been doing the same dance.
Hello. It's nice to meet you all. My name is Jo Se Hwang.
This is the happiest day of the year.
Everyone.
I'm going to tell you one important thing today.
"I am not ordinary."
"Whoever wishes to be special can achieve that."
Always...
remember this,
and keep it in your mind.
"I am..."
"not ordinary."
- Fold them. - Sir?
Step on it.
Yes, sir.
Get there in 30 minutes.
Yes, sir.
You're late.
I'm sorry, sir. There was a traffic jam.
How do you feel when you say such things?
- Sorry? - I know what you're thinking.
You want to call me a scumbag.
No, sir. Never.
My father sent me to the basement whenever I did something wrong.
And he made me repeat this phrase.
"I'm sorry, Father. Please forgive me."
So beg me...
for forgiveness.
Tell me you were in the wrong, and ask for one more chance.
Sir, please forgive!
I did you wrong.
I have children.
I also need to pay back my loan.
You should've spat at me instead.
Sorry?
That's what I did to my father.
Thank you for your hard work.
Sir!
- Dad. - Hey.
Where is Prosecutor Kang? Is Da In all right?
He went to the hospital.
But Da In is in a vegetative state.
A vegetative state?
Yes.
Did she have any wounds on her body?
She didn't have any external injuries.
But she's got a tattoo on her wrist.
But Ko Dae Soo, who's also in a vegetative state,
has the same tattoo.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Prosecutor Kang and I went to Dae Soo's house a while ago.
He said...
the tattoo looks exactly the same...
as the stamp he used to get when he entered Dream World.
The chief ordered for these to be discarded.
Mr. Shin, a lot of time has passed.
Why are you making it harder for yourself by taking photos?
Hey.
You never know...
whether or not the bereaved families will come back for these.
I should at least show them these photos.
Their hearts will be torn into pieces if there's nothing here.
I'm done.
- You can take them now. - Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Dad, are you okay?
What? Oh, yes. I'm fine.
I was just surprised.
Could you check for me?
You were in charge of that case.
I need to know whether or not there's a connection between them.
Oh, sure.
So Young, let's go in for now.
We have to focus on finding leads.
I'm sorry...
for leaving you alone and disappearing.
I won't ever leave you alone.
I promise.
Da In, you know that I am always here for you, right?
No matter what happens,
I will protect you to the very end.
Da In is...
yours...
to protect now.
Please...
take care of her.
I'm sorry.
I truly am.
I'm so sorry.
Dad.
Yes? What? Why?
What is it? Did you find anything?
Chief Director Nam Chul Soon of Tree of Hope Foundation,
Chief Prosecutor Kim Jae Jun,
Ko Dae Soo, who is in a vegetative state,
and Prosecutor Kang's niece, Da In.
I have a feeling that all these cases are the same.
So Young.
You might be seeing...
only the things you wish to see right now.
I know.
What I'm experiencing right now may be just apophenia.
But what bothers me the most is...
if it would be possible...
for a human to commit all of these crimes.
Wait, so do you still think...
that all of these cases are...
caused by another force...
that is beyond human limits?
I know that it makes no sense.
But a day before the crime,
I was sitting here with this girl.
And that girl is...
now lying in bed in a vegetative state.
I want to catch the criminal no matter what.
Okay.
You should.
You will catch the one...
who did this to her.
Was the culprit here to just harm the child?
Or...
was he looking for something else?
The culprit...
probably knew that this closet was...
the only place where a child could hide.
He enjoyed this.
So Young.
What's wrong?
The culprit was enjoying this.
- What? - He stared at the closet...
and broke the picture frame on purpose.
He did it to let the child know that he is near...
and to scare her.
That crazy jerk.
Because Da In does not have her parents around,
these pictures must have been very precious to her.
The culprit used this precious emotion...
only as a means to terrify her.
To Chairman Jo Se Hwang!
To the chairman!
Goodness, this tastes very sharp.
Of course, this is such a precious drink.
Didn't you know, Mr. Baek?
The president drank this alcohol during his visit to the Middle East.
My gosh. You're making me lose my appetite.
Don't worry.
This country is never stirred the way that the president wants.
Who said anything about that?
It's just that the country is in a huge mess.
Goodness, Mr. Ham.
I didn't know we had a patriot among us.
Can you break out a huge article on this hot issue?
This is boring.
Pardon?
Do you know what Derinkuyu is?
Isn't that an underground city in Turkey?
Bingo.
It's where Christians hid away from the Arabs' persecution.
To simply put, it's like an ant tunnel.
When I was in elementary school,
I tried making an ant's nest in a transparent box.
As I looked down on it,
I suddenly became curious.
What would happen if I put water in here?
So I poured some water.
Like this.
That moment,
I got chills all over my body.
Yes, this is what it's like to be a deity.
I want this world to be exciting.
So...
entertain me, okay?
Give me chills all over my body.
Then...
you can have everything you want in return.
(Unknown Caller)
Yes, this is Prosecutor Han Yu Na.
What?
No.
I will do that.
Prosecutor Kang.
You're here.
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
I haven't.
I'm not a great cook,
but it should be edible.
Make sure you have some if you get hungry.
Thank you.
Goodness, she looks like a sleeping angel.
How could something like this happen to her?
Chief Shin.
Chief Shin?
Goodness, she looks like a sleeping angel.
How could something like this happen to her?
Chief Shin.
- Chief Shin? - Yes?
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Earlier, I couldn't think straight,
so I couldn't find any clues about the culprit.
What are your thoughts about this case?
Well, I think...
I'm asking for an opinion of an investigator as a prosecutor.
I don't think the culprit is a petty criminal.
I could tell it was done by a professional on the scene.
According to the profiler, Shin So Young,
she believes that the culprit made his move with a purpose.
A purpose?
I don't think Da In was the target.
What?
Sorry?
What I mean is, Da In is innocent.
The culprit probably wanted something else.
- Mr. Shin. - Yes?
Have you started smoking again?
Sorry?
Oh, this?
You should think about your daughter.
Goodness, I know.
After losing her mom,
she only had me, the worst father possible, to hold onto.
I'm sure...
you're still in a lot of pain when you think of the day.
How could I ever forget that day?
Everyone around me told me that it was all in the past...
and that I should forget about it.
But still,
I will never forget it.
Sir.
You cannot give up.
I'm not saying this to you as an investigator.
Never...
give up.
That's the only way...
Da In will open her eyes once again.
So...
make sure to eat when you go upstairs.
Okay?
I will.
I'll be going now.
Where is she?
- Sorry? - Where is Da In?
Well...
Her doctor told us to move her to the VIP room.
What?
How could you do that without her guardian's permission?
This place is so much better.
Right?
I know you're curious.
You're a bad kid who stole my stuff.
You must be curious as to why I'm being nice to you.
It's thanks to your uncle.
He will find and bring me all the items that I want.
Da In!
Yu Na.
I'm sorry. You must've been surprised.
Why are you here?
The director of this hospital is my dad's friend.
As soon as being informed, I came here, but she was alone.
I thought it'd be best to put her where she'll be monitored...
around the clock.
I'm sorry.
I was too hasty.
It's all right.
Thank you.
(Victim: Kang Da In, Family: Kang Gon)
Hey.
Hello, professor.
Why did you want to see me at this hour?
Would you like some coffee?
You're stuck with something.
That's why you're here to see me.
You're right.
I don't think a cup of coffee will do.
1 cheese bagel, 1 chocolate bagel,
and two cups of hot Americano, please.
Did you take a look at those?
This is a tricky one.
But this is unlike you.
Do what you're best at. Face it head-on.
Just keep doing what you've always been doing, and don't be afraid.
Okay.
Let's eat.
We should eat first.
Thanks.
You never skip the meal, okay?
Okay.
Checkmate.
(Restricted Number)
Who is this?
I'd like to report a murder incident.
Who are you?
There is an individual with a special item.
You must find them before time runs out.
If you fail, CEO Lee Hak Joon of Pyeonghwa Law Firm will die.
(Prosecutor Kang Gon, We need...)
Go to Jeongjin Station.
They haven't officially opened that station yet.
Why are you going there this late at night?
Darn.
Jeongjin Station is not in operation yet.
Why did he come here?
(Jeongjin Station)
(Exit)
Is anybody there?
(Tracks)
Help me!
(Portable Emergency Light)
Stop right there!
You're here, Chairman Jo.
Prosecutor Kang!
(17, haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood...)
He's still alive.
The 911.
- Call the 911 for backup. - Yes.
Is this the 911?
Please look after him.
Hey, wait a second.
(Jeongjin Station)
All of you, get out of here!
Get out of here!
It's too dangerous!
- Lift him up in 1, 2, 3. - And 3.
- We're here. - Oh, yes.
Darn it.
Why is this happening right before my promotion exam?
Prosecutor Kang.
How did you know...
that someone would get murdered here?
Something ominous began to happen.
Perhaps...
the cases that will break out from now on...
will be far different from the ones we have dealt with.
This is the place that I saw in my dream.
You fell out of the building over there.
What are you talking about?
Something unbelievable is...
happening to us right now.
Lieutenant Shin!
What happened?
Prosecutor Kang, how did you get here?
He's the first witness.
Really?
Mr. Choi, please find the security footage around here.
He's a slender man about 170cm tall.
Did you see the culprit?
I couldn't get a good look at him because the lights went out,
but I heard the victim cry out for help...
and the culprit running away.
- Goodbye. - Wait, Prosecutor.
Prosecutor... Prosecutor!
Hey, prosecutor guy!
Darn it, that troublemaker.
His awful personality hasn't even changed a little.
Mr. Choi.
I'll go take a look around.
Go.
Something seems fishy between the two of them.
Your breath smells fishy.
Goodness.
Excuse me.
Hey!
I'm talking to you right now.
You didn't have to stop that abruptly.
Over here.
Over here. Hurry.
The suspect went that way.
There are no security cameras,
and there are ways leading out of this tunnel.
It's easy to escape in any directions...
without being seen by anyone.
I'm sure it's someone who knows his ways around here.
He might be the one...
who put Da In in a vegetative state.
Someone is there.
This place has no security cameras...
and is very deserted, which means...
It could be dangerous for us too.
Wait. Stop. Both of you, stop.
Prosecutor Kang?
Let go of each other now.
What are you two doing here?
What about you? What are you doing here?
What do you think? I was looking for...
the murder weapon by searching the getaway routes.
- A murder? - Have you not heard?
He died in transport.
But he said something odd right before he died.
Something odd?
When we asked him if he knew the culprit,
he said it was a devil.
When we asked him if he knew the culprit,
he said it was a devil.
Are you all right, Prosecutor Kang?
You're heading back to the hospital, right?
- I'd like to go home. - Pardon?
I must check something.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Rest up at the hospital today and go back home tomorrow.
No, nothing has been confirmed.
If I fall asleep,
I'll waste my precious day.
(Luca, David)
I will shoulder...
all the sins.
Please deliver these children...
from evil.
I'm fine.
(Dear Uncle, Uncle, it's me, Da In. I'm sorry about yesterday.)
(Thank you for saying that you would protect me.)
It's ASD.
If you don't address the condition, it will cloud your judgement.
Your anxiety will lead to accidents or perceptual disorders.
It's too much for you to handle now.
Let the police go after the culprit.
You should take care of yourself first.
I don't have time for that.
Do you think the culprit broke into this house...
in the heat of the moment?
Observing the behavior pattern of the culprit...
from entering and leaving the house,
it didn't show any signs of acting...
in the heat of the moment or for revenge.
It's the opposite. It was systematic.
The culprit must have broken in with a clear agenda.
Whether it was Da In or something else.
Something else?
Whether Da In had something the culprit needed...
or she would have at least known what it was.
Da In has something that the culprit needs?
I'm just stating a possibility.
If so, what could that be?
Sir.
It doesn't seem that Prosecutor Kang has the item.
I understand, sir.
(Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency)
Could this be a coincidence?
In November 2003.
Kim Tae Goo, the cleaner at the amusement park,
set the Dream Tower on fire.
It resulted in 101 deaths and 292 casualties.
It was a terrible tragedy.
The tattoo on Da In and Ko Dae Soo's wrist is the same...
with the pattern of the stamp this amusement park pressed on kids.
(Inbox)
So Young, it's Mom.
I...
I love you dearly, my princess.
- Can you hear me? - And...
- Please answer me. - I'm sorry.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Ma'am.
- Where are you? - Kids!
- Where are you? - So Young.
- I'm right... - Ma'am.
Why am I reminded of that day again?
(Image Analysis Room)
Yes, this is Shin So Young speaking.
- Did you analyze the mouth shapes? - Yes, we just finished.
I'll head over there now.
Da In, your uncle is here.
I want to hear you play the melodeon.
You'll wake up soon...
and play this for me, right?
Right?
It's this.
This was it.
Just because of this mere bracelet,
this jerk caused this crazy mess?
Aren't you curious about the look on his face now?
"Bracelet and item"?
I heard there is a wish room.
When you gather all of those special items,
it makes all of your wishes come true.
We might be able to find clues that put Da In in a vegetative state.
The culprit kills people to obtain items like this?
The speculation that...
they are murdered by supernatural powers beyond human limits.
That's probably true.
I will control this game. Understood?
Come out right now!
Don't hide yourself like a rat!
