Move it.
What's going on? Why are you helping me?
I'm helping you? Me?
Wasn't that you at the hospital?
Why are you helping me?
I think you're sorely mistaken.
I'm just preventing the cops from getting to you.
Because...
I must kill you.
What a lackluster fight.
Were you this easy to take out?
- Die. - Wait!
Let's patrol around the building. Radio in if you notice anything.
- Okay. - Yes, sir.
Call for backup.
Give me a little time.
To draw my last painting.
A painting?
You're in this mess and you're asking for time just to paint?
It's not "just" to paint.
Everyone will admit it when they see my perfect painting.
They'll realize who I am,
how great I am,
and how I'm different from them.
Must I keep listening to this madness?
Lee Ho Chul and Lee Soo A. Give me just those two.
I'll kill Ho Chul who got in your way...
and complete the last painting with the material from Soo A.
Tell me why I should listen to your nonsense.
Let's make a deal.
A deal?
My final goal is to complete my drawing.
Let me do that,
and I'll let you kill me.
Are you calling that a deal?
I just have to kill you right now.
Will killing me here satisfy you?
- What? - Think about it.
You want to kill me...
because I'm the only flaw in your career.
Wouldn't it be better for you...
if I were better and greater?
Don't you want me to be a famed serial killer?
I'll become someone...
that remains seared in everyone's mind.
What?
I'm offering you a deal that will make us both winners.
I get to finish my painting.
And you can kill me, the creator of a perfect painting.
How's that?
That deal. I'll take it.
(A Superior Day)
It's okay. It's okay now, Soo A.
What is it?
(Final Episode)
They're really here.
What are you doing?
Why are you together?
I told you to wait, Soo A.
You made me take a detour.
They're yours, as promised.
I can't give you a lot of time. So be quick.
Don't you dare lay a finger on her.
I'll kill both of you.
Thank you.
I thought I should at least thank you.
Die, you jerk!
Die!
We'll run on my count of three.
Don't let go of my hand.
Darn you!
- Die. - One, two,
- Die. - Three.
You jerk.
(Sky Garden, Arcade)
Are you all right? Is it your legs?
Hold on.
Soo A.
Do you think you can get up?
Get on my back, Soo A.
Soo A.
Lee Soo A.
Are your legs okay?
Hide well
Whatever happens, stay here.
- Or I might see your hair - Okay?
- Dad. - Mr. Firefighter.
- We'll be okay. - Soo A.
- We'll be okay. - Firefighter Lee Ho Chul.
Soo A.
Where are you, Soo A?
Soo A?
Soo A.
Kwon Si Woo.
Let's end it between us.
I'm the one you need, anyway.
Right. We should end this.
But where's Soo A?
I need her for something.
She has nothing to do with this.
You and I should end it.
Then it won't end.
I told you. I needed Soo A.
Why?
You said you were curious about my painting too.
And I really want you to see it too.
But I need materials to finish my painting.
Don't you see that?
Materials?
You lunatic.
Is that why you killed all those people?
You're quite harsh.
I was merely giving them a chance to make something of their death.
- What? - In life,
people rarely get a chance to make a name for themselves.
What did you say?
All those people...
were desperate to become famous.
Thanks to me, their names got printed...
in newspapers countless times.
And they were given a chance to be remembered.
On top of that,
they became a part of my perfect painting.
Those people desperately prayed to become superior to others.
Even the deity couldn't help them achieve this greatness,
but I, Kwon Si Woo, did it for them.
You are...
What do you think?
Aren't I a superior being?
I pity you.
You need these ridiculous arguments to rationalize your murders,
so you can find the meaning behind your existence.
How pathetic is that?
Watch your mouth.
"Superior"?
You toy with people's lives.
You think you're a superior being?
No.
You're a lowly human being who's only loyal...
to your instincts and urges.
Then I'll show you...
how superior I am.
Dad.
No.
I found her.
Don't.
Stop it.
What?
How come this isn't in perfect condition?
Soo A.
Lee Soo A!
I get to finish my painting.
And you can kill me, the creator of a perfect painting.
How's that?
That jerk...
Soo A.
Yes.
This is it.
This is the face I wanted to see.
Did you think I would let you...
finish your painting?
Lieutenant Choi.
Gosh, you're so frustrating.
If Bae Tae Jin catches his target, Kwon Si Woo,
doesn't that mean Soo A and Ho Chul could be safe?
Detective Choi. Do you think a criminal...
would let a witness who saw his face live?
- What? - It's none other than Bae Tae Jin.
Do you think he'd let Lee Ho Chul and your daughter live?
Unless he lost his arms and legs and can't kill then, never.
We need to finish our deal.
It's finished.
He's dead, so you need to let us go.
That's under the premise that you were on my side.
The moment you betrayed me, the situation...
The situation changed.
There were multiple hidden cameras set up.
It seemed he was watching his house, inside and out.
Lieutenant Choi?
Lieutenant Choi.
The captain called...
and told us to check Unit 2102, Kwon Si Woo's place.
Let's go.
Captain.
- Lieutenant Choi is here. - Yes.
I need you to verify something.
Verify something?
The thing you saw in his hideout.
That's here?
There was nothing in the location that you mentioned.
Are you saying he moved all of that here?
Follow me.
It's different.
What? It's different?
What I saw were drawings.
This is the model.
It's the same number as the drawings I saw.
Then that means he'll come back here.
He wouldn't leave with this here.
We don't know when Kwon Si Woo will be back, so stay on your toes.
We're on stakeout now.
What's the most important thing to him?
The model?
Or the drawing?
Were you stalling?
Just like what you did to me.
I'm going to throw a smoke bomb later.
Don't look back and keep running.
If you get to the arcade, Uncle Jung Min will be waiting.
Okay?
Dad.
I'm fine.
My gosh.
Why don't we just call the cops?
They still have Soo A.
I know. That's why we should call them.
Once Soo A's safe, I'll throw the smoke bombs.
That's the sign.
When you verify our location, call the cops.
Wait!
Hello. The Parisville rooftop garden.
Yes, I'm certain.
Soo A!
Uncle Jung Min!
Are you okay?
(Park Jung Min)
Hold on.
Hello, Jung Min.
Okay. I'll be right there.
They found Soo A.
Thank goodness.
We'll take care of things here. You should go.
Thank you.
Let's move faster.
As long as you have become a part of my plan,
you have to see it to the end.
I can't leave...
any more flaws in my career.
It's all over now.
Do you really think this is the end?
What are you doing?
You could end up dying.
You lost too much blood.
Leave me alone.
So you'll just die?
To people like you who toy with other people's lives,
this might be nothing.
But I can't turn my back on a dying man.
Even if that man is you.
I thought you were a puppet...
I could control to do as I pleased.
Not bad, Firefighter Lee Ho Chul.
Don't think that you won.
Don't speak too much.
You'll only lose more blood.
Take this out and you die.
What are you doing?
He took Soo A...
and made you do what he wanted.
He even tried to kill you.
Are you actually concerned he'd die?
Pull it out.
Then I'll let you live.
Take it out.
Do it.
Pull it out, punk.
You might feel superior by taking lives.
But not me.
Saving people's lives...
is what's really superior.
[VIU Ver] OCN E08 'A Superior Day' "The Superior Being" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Stay with me.
Don't forget.
As long as he's alive,
nothing...
is over.
They're over here!
Call 911.
Send paramedics...
to the arcade's rooftop garden.
Coming through.
Step aside.
I've never seen such a gruesome body.
He's no ordinary killer.
Exactly.
I'm scared I might have nightmares about it.
By the way, what did she do for a living?
Did she have a lot of enemies?
I'm not sure.
Here. Don't you think she could've been an artist?
What? She was so talented.
What a shame.
It looked like she was a talented artist.
(Kwon Si Woo)
Right.
I'm the most perfect being.
Yes, Lieutenant Choi.
What he really treasures isn't...
the model at his house.
It's the paintings at his hideout.
I'm sure he will want to show them to people.
He will probably try to display them somewhere.
Okay.
Display them...
- Gather up. Attention. - Yes, sir.
Two of you will stay here just in case.
The rest of you will come with me.
The culprit will find a spot to display his paintings.
He will probably pick somewhere big, suitable for crowds.
- We don't have much time. Hurry. - Let's go.
He killed all those people...
for this?
(Hydrant box)
Kwon Si Woo.
It's over now.
Did you think this would end it?
I'm sorry to break it to you,
nothing ever ends for me.
There are only new beginnings.
No.
It's over for you.
Freeze, Kwon Si Woo!
Get up.
The Rich Girl Killer who instilled fear into the people...
and stirred up the people...
- Only within two days... - was responsible...
the Special Investigation Team was formed,
- It's been confirmed... - the serial killer was arrested.
that Lee Ho Chul, the man who had a scuffle with the killer...
and became a hero two years ago,
once again contributed to catching the culprit.
I'm here for Lee Soo A.
She's over there.
Thanks.
Hey.
She's okay, right?
Yes. She's fine.
She went to sleep after getting the IV drip.
Other than minor bruises, she's fine.
What about you? Are you all right?
Yes.
I'm okay.
I'll give them my statement before she wakes up.
Don't worry. I'll be with her the whole time.
Everything you said was true.
Good work.
He's coming out.
- That's Mr. Lee Ho Chul! - He's coming out.
Firefighter Lee Ho Chul.
We heard you had to fight a serial killer...
and a professional hitman to save your daughter.
- Weren't you scared? - How does it feel...
to safely rescue your daughter from criminals?
I'm her dad.
I only did what I had to do.
I heard that at the scene you did your best to save the life...
of the assailant who committed a crime against your family.
Why did you do that?
Didn't you want him to get punished?
I believe that it's up to the law...
to punish someone.
People are calling you a righteous person.
What do you think about that?
I'm not.
I'm just an average dad...
and a firefighter getting ready to go back to work.
You said something great.
Can you say something else?
We need to go.
- Do you have anything else to say? - Please give us another statement.
- What about the criminal? - Give us a statement.
Please give us another statement.

Why are you in such a rush today?
It's Soo A's birthday.
So are you going there again?
Of course.
(Seoju Arts High School)
Dad!
(A school filled with happiness through art)
Hey, Soo A.
Here.
Oh, thank you.
I got this as a gift!
Gosh, what is it?
A love letter?
So here's what happened.
I was playing soccer with my friends earlier, and I made a goal.
He said he fell for me when he saw that,
so he followed me out.
You played soccer?
Yes, I'm really good.
Gosh, Lee Soo A. Give me a high five.
- Yes! - Put your seatbelt on.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(The Late Kim Dong Ju)
Have you been well?
We should've visited more often.
But we made excuses only to visit you on the day you passed.
Thanks to you,
Soo A and I are doing well.
Look at this.
Someone just asked me out.
Should I say yes?
Hey. What about Chan Woo?
He's had a crush on you for years. What about him?
I told you we're just friends.
Chan Woo doesn't feel the same.
But I feel that way.
You feel that way?
- Yes. - Then what can Chan Woo do?
Didn't Soo A get big?
Do I get to blow out candles tonight?
Of course.
Your mom bought a cake.
What about my present?
You can expect something nice.
I'm getting nervous.
You didn't get me something weird. Right?
I'm not sure.
Should we pick your mom up on our way home?
Sure.
(One ill word asks for another.)
(Written Opinion of Counsel)
Are you handling things well without me?
Aren't you going to answer me?
Send me more commissary money.
You forgot. Didn't you?
Is this everything you need to transfer to me?
My gosh.
They say when the cat's away the mice come out to play,
but you've gotten quite bold. Haven't you, Mr. Kim?
The elder is very angry.
If you want to make it up, you need to get out soon.
Goodbye.
What did you say?
Hey, Mr. Kim.
Hey.
(Prohibited Outside of Hours of Use)
Hey.
Mr. Kim!
What about my commissary money?
Send me a lot of commissary money.
Okay?
What state is he in right now?
He's the same as he was a few days ago.
His intelligence and social skills have declined significantly,
and it's equivalent to that of a seven-year-old.
I think it might be hard to send him to a regular prison.
Is that so?
(National Judicial Hospital)
(Hwajin Police Station)
Did you run the plates?
Yes, we did.
Then pass this on quickly.
- Yes, ma'am. - Assist him, Detective Lee.
Yes, ma'am.
Keep up the good work.
This one.
It's been a while, Detective Chu.
I'm back at Violent Crimes.
Really?
That's great. Congratulations.
Doing data processing after being in the field is no joke.
I was itching to get back out there.
How's your body? Are you better now?
Of course. I'm practically flying.
Be careful.
We should meet up.
I know.
We need to do a cooperative investigation together.
We had pretty good teamwork.
Right. That sounds good.
By the way. Bae Tae Jin.
The psychiatrist recommended...
he be treated where Kwon Si Woo is.
Really?
It looks like neither of them can be cured.
If I could get my way, they'd both be executed.
But then, thinking they must be locked up...
when they're out of their minds...
makes me feel good too.
Let's meet up for drinks one day.
Sure. Call me whenever.
I will. Bye.
(Kwon Si Woo's Serial Killings)
I'm off.
Okay. Bye.
- Good job! - Bye.
See you.
She plays soccer.
- You played soccer today? - Yes.
- What? - Yes, she plays soccer.
- That shocked me already. - Soo A.
- I scored a goal. - You did?
- Yes. - Nice.
This kid saw it and fell for me.
He chased me and gave me a gift.
So I asked her.
- Chan Woo, you know him, right? - Yes.
I asked her about him.
They're just friends. Is that how kids are now?
- Chan Woo's... - Is he really not your type?
Him or Chan Woo, then?
- Who do you prefer? - Dad.
- Great answer! - Let's eat something first.
I'll be pretty good.
- You take that. - Okay.
Don't run.
- Honey. - What?
Detective Chu called.
- About what? - She's returning to Violent Crimes.
That's great news.
It is.
And...
What is it?
I think...
it's all back to normal.
I ordered 30 rice cakes to hand out. That will be enough, won't it?
- You ordered 30? - Yes.
You are so generous.
Not that many people live here.
This isn't an apartment complex.
We could hand out two each.
I was going to order 100 at first.
- What? - You can eat the rest.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
That looks nice.
Let's sing.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Soo A - Happy birthday, dear Soo A
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Well done.
Who is it?
