-[phone buzzing]

SON

[Jeongim] Please...

[crying] Please, don't.

Let me go.

Please.

[Myeongsuk] Goodness! Who are you?

I said, who are you?

Gosh! Honey! Are you okay?

-[breathing heavily]
-[Myeongsuk exclaims]

[Mando] Are you okay? Are you hurt?

-[breathing heavily]
-[Myeongsuk] Who was that?

EPISODE 7

SEOUL NOBONG POLICE STATION

[siren wails]

IN A RELATIONSHIP
as*ault

You said you couldn't see his face.

But does anything stand out
in your memory?

I'm sorry.

I'm so...

I'm so shocked
that I don't really remember.

No, it's all right.

Take your time and let me know
what comes to mind.

Well...

Compared to me, his height was...

He was about this tall.

Okay.

The knife he was holding
was quite unusual.

The blade was...

a bit...

Well...

Do you think you could

draw the knife you remember here?

[Jeongim] Yes.

I think it looked something like this.

J SERIAL k*lling CASE

REMARK

[Soyeong] Daon.

He's back.

The Judge from Hell

[birds chirping]

[Soyeong] I'm sure Daon didn't
even have seaweed soup today.

I'll make him some
this evening at the camp site.

I'm sure it breaks your hearts.

That he still can't really
enjoy his birthday.

It's been long enough
that he should be able to. Right?

As his parents,

I'm sure you'd want Daon to be happy.

But that dummy still doesn't know that.
[chuckles]

[Daon] You should've told me.

Hey. You're the one
who should have told me.

We could've come together.

I'm glad you're here. [chuckles]

Don't worry, ma'am.
I'll take good care of your son.

[Donghun] There are three victims in total
as of now.

Clues left behind
are the engravings on the forehead

and the abdominal stab wounds.

We looked into all iron manufacturing
companies in the country.

But none made this kind of thing.

Oh, right. The case in Hwangcheon...

Also, the crimes only took place
where there were

no security cameras
or where they were broken.

And judging by the fact,

they seem very meticulous.

Any evidence?

None yet.

But we'll find it soon. We will.

Oh, right. About Judge Kang Bitna,

do you know she's getting
a lot of criticism online

for acquitting Yang Seungbin?

EVEN MY DOG WOULD BE A BETTER JUDGE
THAN KANG BITNA

THE JUDGE IS TRASH
KICK JUDGE KANG OUT OF COURT

COURT

[Yeongjin] It's my favorite tea.

And it's caffeine-free.

Look how pretty it looks.

I'm giving you such a rare gift

in the hopes that you'll do better...

Are you listening to me?

No.

This...

you won't be able to ignore.

"The judge needs to be brutally m*rder*d
herself to understand."

"Die, Kang Bitna."

These are the comments
posted to the articles on this ruling.

What do you have to say?

[Judge Kang] Nothing.

[scoffs] Maybe you do have a conscience.

What's wrong is wrong,
even if Assemblyman Jeong asked for it.

I can never put you
on a case like this again.

-So go back to the single-judge court.
-Okay.

Why aren't you talking back today?

-Should I?
-No.

I'll get going
if that's all you have to say.

Her compliance is even more unsettling.
[sighs]

What's up with her?

Did you get an earful?

Gosh, I knew it.

Your conscience is dead if you expect
no backlash after that ruling.

There are so many malicious comments now.

-You wrote one too, didn't you?
-Of course, I... [chuckles nervously]

Justitia.

Justitia.

There's something important.

What do you think about the rumor?
The one I told you last time

about Arong being Satan.

Arong? Satan?

[Mando] It's true.

Something's unsettling about her eyes.
It's not just her bad temper.

Her eyes always look a bit crazy,
even when she's not angry.

I'm sure she'll soon show her true self.

When will you stop this nonsense?
I'll cover my ears.

I'm sure of it!

Wait, Justitia.

Did you see the landlady's message?

She wants all the residents
to hike together this weekend.

To foster a sense of unity. Are you going?

Weekend, unity, hiking together.

I don't like any of it. You go without me.

-Nice.
-[knock on door]

Judge Kang, are we going back
to single-judge court?

-Yes...
-[Wongyeong] The sign out there

-should be changed to this one.
-[Mando] Okay.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

[girl 1] Hey.

-Come here a second.
-Me?

Damn it.

I said come here, you sh*t.

-Come here.
-Come.

-[Dahui groans]
-[girl 2] Can you lend us some money?

I don't have any money.

If I find any on you, you're dead.

Wait... Stop.

Hold still.

[Dahui] No! Don't!

[girl 2] Look.

-[girl 1] Look. How dare you lie?
-[Dahui] No, not that. Stop.

-Not that! Stop! [yells]
-You b*tch!

-[girl 1] What the...
-[both grunting]

Thank you for saving me.

No need for that.
I wasn't trying to help you.

-What?
-Who are you, lady?

You don't need to know. Pick up the trash.

Just be on your way
if you don't want to get messed up.

I'm not in a very good mood these days.

Pick it up, or else.

Or what are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

[groaning]

[both groaning]

I warned you. You should've picked it up.

Why are kids these days so rude?

You're pretty, though.

NOBONG POLICE STATION

-The Hwangcheon case.
-Yes?

Did something happen
in Hwangcheon-dong? What is it?

What? I don't know either.

It's nothing serious, right, ma'am?

[Soyeong] What? Right.

Donghun and I will take that.
You stick to what you're working on.

-[phone buzzing]
-Okay.

What? It's a number from our station.

This is Kim Soyeong from Violent Crimes.

What?

DIVISION CHIEF
WOMEN AND YOUTH

[officer] You're here.

Mom.

Hold on. What happened?

[officer] Well, these girls were
robbing your daughter...

I mean,
they were extorting money from her.

And she saved her.

But in the process, she used violence.

[woman 1] If they lay another hand...

-Goodness, my daughter...
-Who did this to you?

Did you hit my kid?

No. I disciplined her.

Hey! You can't talk to me like that!

You started it.

Who the hell is she?

-I want to sue that woman for as*ault.
-Me too.

Like mother, like daughter.

Then I will sue them, too.

They shoved me and stole from me first.

Seems like it was
just a prank between kids.

But an adult stepped in and hit them!

[laughs] I assumed they weren't
being properly disciplined at home.

-And seeing you, it all makes sense.
-[woman 1] What?

Let's see if you stay that c*ck
in front of a judge.

-Ma'am?
-Yes?

She is a judge.

-What?
-She's a judge.

Should we include school violence, too?

I can't believe you!

[Judge Kang] If this is over, can I go?

Yes, of course.

Let's not run into each other again.

[woman 2] We can't even speak up
because of school violence.

I can't believe you.

Let's go.

Mom.

Should I say hello to your colleagues
and have dinner since I'm here?

Why were you in Hwangcheon?

I heard Daon got a place there.

I was going to surprise him at his house.

[Soyeong] Don't go
to that neighborhood again.

Those girls won't be around anymore...

Just don't go there!

Why are you yelling?

Those bad girls pushed me to the ground

and took my money.

You didn't even ask if I was okay.
You just yelled.

Dahui, I'm just...

I'll go.

Dahui!

Thank you so much for helping my daughter.

I didn't really help her.

You did.

If those moms cause trouble, let me know.

I will make sure
you're not inconvenienced.

Thank you, Judge Kang.

-[keypad beeping]
-[door opens]

I was wondering when you might come.

Come in.

[Mija sighs]

I know why you came to see me.

I'm sure you were curious why I said

one of you would die if you and that woman
on the second floor stayed together.

She already k*lled me once
and I came back to life.

I know it sounds ridiculous.

But she's a demon.

You know about Judge Kang, don't you?

Please tell me the truth.

If you two stay together,

one of you will die for sure.

But there's still a chance
you might survive.

That's the truth.

I knew your parents well.

They were such kind and just souls.

They were poor,

but their love for you was overflowing.

It was unfortunate
they had to leave you so early.

How do you know my parents?

A long time ago,
someone asked me for a favor.

To protect you no matter what.

Was that...

my parents?

Leave this place at once.

Never see that woman Kang Bitna again.

Ma'am.

Today, I kept my promise to them.

Whether you live or die,

that's your choice.

[♪ melancholy music playing]

You should go now.

[♪ melancholy music continues]

Aren't you going to thank me?

I don't care for that stuff either,
but you seem too unappreciative.

If I say thank you, will you admit it?

If you're suspicious of me, bring proof.
I've been saying this over and over.

Are you going hiking tomorrow?

Yes.

Then I won't go.

I don't want to speak
with someone accusing me of m*rder

without any proof of it.

HWANGCHEON VILLA

[buzzer beeping]

Admit it? Admit what?

I didn't k*ll Ko Yunseong.
What should I admit to?

He doesn't know anything.

I hate Han Daon.

Damn it.

[Myeongsuk] Are you okay, honey?
Don't you need more rest?

Staying home alone is worse.

It's better to be with everyone else.

I'll protect you, Mom.

Thanks, sweetie.

By the way, just how sick is Unit 201

that she's not joining us?

I think she's not feeling well. Let's go.

How sick is she? Did she faint again?

She probably fainted and is sleeping.

Wait. She's here.

[Myeongsuk] What?

Honey!

I thought you were sick. What happened?

I'm all better now.

I'm glad you came.

[Myeongsuk laughs]

-Don't you want some?
-I'm fine.

You should hydrate
as you start climbing up, you know?

Here.

-Give me your bag.
-No need.

I'm stronger than you.

Are all humans fake like you?

Suspicious of me
but pretending to be nice?

Let's go that way.
There's a platform to walk on up ahead.

No, the landlady and the old woman
in the basement went that way.

[Mando] One, two, three.

[Myeongsuk] Cheese!

[Mando] I just got me.

[people laughing]

[Mando] Let's take it again.

Let me ask you something.

Why are you so suspicious of me?

Do you know how insulting it is
to be accused like that?

What kind of person are...

I mean, what kind of demon are you?

Sometimes, you're so evil.

But sometimes, you're so kind.

It's confusing.

Then stop caring.

Thanks for yesterday.

I won't accept the appreciation.
It's past its expiry date.

Dahui isn't my real sister.

My parents and younger sibling
died in an accident when I was ten.

The people who took me in
when I was left alone

are my parents now.

And Dahui is their daughter.

The three people you said you k*lled
when you were young...

That's right.

They died because of me. So I k*lled them.

My dad, mom, and brother.

I don't know what happened,
but I know for certain

that you did not k*ll your family.

If you did,
you'd already be in Hell by now.

That might have been better.

[scoffs] Stop with the self-pity already.

Look here, Detective.

You did not k*ll them.

Do you really believe it wasn't my fault?

I don't believe. I know.

You've never k*lled anyone. Ever.

Gosh, it's so stressful
that you don't get it.

[Daon] Just for today,

I'd like to believe you.

I'll try to.

Don't believe in me. That's idol worship.

[Myeongsuk exclaims and laughs]

[exclaiming]

Okay! To Hwangcheon Villa's bright future!

[all] Cheers!

[Myeongsuk] I have to go
pray in the morning.

Goodness, you guys are gulping it.

You guys sure can drink.

[chuckling] Goodness, what's this?

Here. Have some fruit, too.

By the way,

Ms. Oh is so energetic.

She already went out
with her handcart without eating.

When people are dying, they stop eating.

-I guess it's her time.
-Hey!

If you're pretty,
your words should be too.

[Mando snickers]

[Daon and Myeongsuk chuckle]

Mando, thank you so much.

If it weren't for you and Ms. Jang,

I would've been in big trouble.

Don't mention it.

The meat is delicious. Thank you.

I mean, we walked by
just in time that day.

Thank the Lord!

-Amen.
-Amen.

Anyway, thank you both so much.

I'm grateful, too.

Thank you for saving my mom.

At least you know when to say thank you

before it's too late.

Ah. Never mind.

I said that for someone else's benefit,
but he's too drunk.

[others laughing]

Gosh, you know
you really have a way with your words.

The Lord has really
blessed you with great talent. [laughing]

-Speaking of which...
-I'm not going.

Here they go again.

[Myeongsuk] Goodness.

Are you playing hard to get with the Lord?

No, she's playing it with me.

Are you nuts?

When we first met in court

for the abuse of authority trial,

I almost fell for you then.

Because you were so cool.

[chuckling]

-[chuckles nervously]
-[Daon] And last time...

You're very drunk right now.

What are you doing? You think you're cool?

-[gasps]
-[all chuckling]

I think you've had enough to drink.

No, I'm not drunk at all.

I know myself. I can go on my own.

-He says he's not drunk.
-[Mando] I'll take you home.

Goodness!

Honey!

-He's a goner.
-[Mando] Detective.

Detective. Gosh, he's heavy.

[♪ amusing music playing]

[Judge Kang] What's the password?

I don't know.

I'll give you a hint. Take a guess.

Here I go.

♪ The pain of giving birth ♪

Parents' Day song.

That's correct.

You got it right. [chuckles]

[sighs] I have to carry him again.

[Daon] Hey, Kang Bitna.

Can't you just be nice?

No, I can't.

Why not? Because you're a demon?

Then keep being bad like a demon.

Don't be nice sometimes
and get me confused.

Don't be confused. I'm bad.

No, you're good.

You consoled me

and saved our Dahui.

You're good.

Then why are you so suspicious of me?

That's because

you did it.

[scoffs] This again?

But I hope you really didn't do it.

I have to catch you.

But I don't want to.

[♪ soft music playing]

Just recycle this. You're going to
bug me again tomorrow anyways.

[scoffs] He still has this?
To remember me by?

Haeseo River?

-Recycle it.
-Yes.

In front of the kids...

I will get rid of the bloodstains.

Just for today, I'd like to believe you.

I'll try to.

[scoffs]

I knew humans can't be trusted.

DEMOLITION

Do you remember I gave you
a can of cola after I k*lled Bae Jayeong?

-Yes.
-Where did you throw it?

I put it in a recycling bin by the road.

[startles and screams]

I really did.

I recycled it properly.

Your gear keeps getting better.

It's so heavy. I'd like something lighter.

-[laughs] Ride with us.
-[Mando] I was going to.

But is there a seat for me?

Right, I have to recycle this.
Wait a second.

All right.

My shot was perfect.

It's true. Justitia, believe me.

-I heard you screwed up, you b*stard!
-[Mando yelling]

Oh, no!

I'm sorry! Forgive me!

I'm sorry.

[Arong] I'm sorry I'm late.

What on earth is that?

If a demon did something wrong,
he must pay the price.

I really recycled it.

With which hand?

What... I really...

As always, it's my fault.

Justitia, I'm sorry.

"Our Father in Heaven,

hallowed be Your name."

"Your kingdom come..."

Stop. And you, get up.

The can you threw away by Haeseo River,
Han Daon picked it up.

Really?

But it can't prove

that you k*lled Bae Jayeong.

That's why he moved in next door.
To secure evidence.

Then what do we do now?

I have to k*ll sinners
as soon as possible and return to Hell.

You find the witness to the serial m*rder?

He was sent to an orphanage
right after the incident.

I've been visiting orphanages
in the area and checking records.

I'll secure their information soon.

That's such a relief.

So Han Daon did have evidence.

Should I teach him a lesson?
I won't k*ll him.

-I'll just maim him.
-Leave Han Daon alone.

That might complicate things,
so just leave him.

Right. Okay.

Mark my words.

-You don't get a second chance.
-Understood.

-Hey.
-[Mando] Yes?

Isn't she kind of strange today?

She's always strange, so I don't know.

That's not what I mean. Damn it!

[hammer bangs]

Normally, she'd be hopping mad
because of Han Daon.

But she protected him
and told us to leave him alone.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Has she ever cried?

How can a demon cry?

Watch her closely.

If she sheds even a single tear,
report to me.

Why?

Demons who fall in love with humans

are useless.

But I...

must obey Justitia's orders only.

Why you little!

Okay, I got it.

[host] The star of this year's
Young CEO Awards

is Choi Wonjoong, CEO of KO Food.

I believe that our KO Food was

able to make remarkable progress
over the past three years

thanks to the devotion
of all of our KO Food employees.

I will continue to be the kind of CEO
who prioritizes mutual prosperity

between labor and management.

Thank you.

[all cheering]

Let's go!

Thank you!

The finance director will report
second-quarter profits this afternoon.

After the lecture at your alma mater
tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.,

you have the executive meeting
at 1:00 p.m.

Stop the car right now.

Stop the car now!

[dog whimpering]

Oh, no.

It's all right.

Goodness.

[woman] Hey, isn't that the CEO
of KO Food?

It's Choi Wonjoong.

Oh, you're right.

He's amazing.

[Wonjoong] Goodness.

-[man] He must be taking it to the vet.
-[woman] Yeah.

KO FOOD

[Changseon] KO Food

must guarantee a safe workplace!

[protestors] Guarantee it!

[Changseon] Improve the inhumane

working conditions!

[protestors] Improve them!

2020 CONSUMERS' BRAND OF THE YEAR

[Chairman Choi] "The icon of good deeds,
KO Food CEO Choi Wonjoong

is now making headlines by rescuing
an injured abandoned dog."

You've received an award and saved a dog.

Now you just need to
take care of the strike.

Don't worry, Father.

I'll take care of it.

It's because you're too nice

that the underlings don't know
their place and speak up.

You have to put your foot down.

Only then will they realize
who feeds them.

Do you understand what I mean?

Yes, Father.

KO Food must guarantee a safe workplace!

[protestors] Guarantee it!

Improve...

The CEO would like to see you.

He's invited the chairman for lunch.

Just me?

Please come with me.

[protestor 1] I hope it goes well.

[protestor 2] I think it's a good sign.

I hope it goes smoothly.

That'd be great.

-[protestor 3] Let's have hope.
-Go.

[protestor 3] Smile a little.

We got this. It'll go well.

[protestor 1] It needs to go well.

Sit.

Sit down.

Good, now stay.

Stay!

[Wonjoong chuckles]

Gosh, Mr. Won.

You see, that dog and I

have the same birth date.

That's why I brought him.

But he won't listen.

So he ended up like that. Let's go.

[phone buzzing]

CEO CHOI WONJOONG

CEO CHOI WONJOONG

[Wonjoong] You're on strike
because of money.

I've given you money, so you can stop.

We're not on strike because of money.

We've had five workers die in the factory

in the last three years.

What we want

is to work with dignity.

That's all.

I can't send it back to you now
because of a transfer limit.

As soon as the banks open tomorrow,

I will return this money to you.

Well, then.

[Wonjoong] People think...

we conglomerates are special.

But we're not.

We also

lick yogurt off the lids

and enjoy cup noodles.

And when we get mad,
it's hard to suppress our anger.

Mr. Won.

Don't make me mad.

I've always gotten what I wanted.

So my patience is very much

lacking.

I should get going.

[Changseon pants]

LABOR UNION VICE-CHAIRMAN

Are you Chairman Won Changseon?

Yes, but what is this about?

-[man] Let's go.
-What are you doing?

Looks delicious.

[Changseon groans]

[Wonjoong] Mr. Won.

Do you golf?

Nothing brings people together
like a good game of golf.

But unfortunately, it's night.

So, we'll have to hit a few here.

Please...

let me go.

That's too bad if you don't want to.

Go on.

[groans]

-[Wonjoong laughs]
-[Changseon groans]

I said go.

[Changseon grunts]

[Changseon groaning]

God, you keep getting in my way.
I'm so upset.

Please stop, sir.

Please, stop.

That's what I want to say.

Please stop, Mr. Won!

[Changseon groaning]

[Changseon groaning]

I want to make a hole-in-one this time.

But where's the hole?

Sir, stop...

You guys will get hurt.

Sir, please... Please...

Sir...

Please, stop.

His phone has been off.

If he still doesn't come back

Yugyeong, it's been a while.

Right. Hello.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

My dad...

What do I do?

-Yugyeong!
-[both crying]

[tuts]

Wow, I think
I can play a game of golf with this.

-Don't you think so, Judge Kang?
-Then play a round with it.

Judge Kang.

Your already lacking social skills
are worse today.

Did something happen?

[newscaster on TV] Mr. Won,
KO Food Union Chairman,

was kidnapped by unidentified men
and hasn't been seen for five days.

It's been revealed that

right before his kidnapping,
he met with CEO Choi Wonjoong.

Nobong Police continue to track
the missing person and the men

who abducted him.

They plan to bring
Mr. Choi in for questioning.

[Hwaseon] It seems like
Nobong Police are on every case.

It's like they're the only
police station in Korea.

Nobong's the go-to. The go-to.

I know. How terrible.

I heard the man who came
with the megaphone

is a detective at Nobong Police.

People are saying you two
fell in love in court.

Bring me whoever started
that malicious rumor.

I'll rip their lips right off.

Gosh.

CLEANER1

Why do I have to find him?

He's known to be a kind man
in the neighborhood.

He works at a bread factory.

He buys bread cheap there
and shares it with the residents and us...

Did I eat that bread?

No, but...

If he'd been m*rder*d
after his kidnapping...

If he'd been k*lled,

we thought finding the culprit
would be helpful to you, too.

Aren't you looking for murderers?

Why do you think he's dead?
Not all kidnappings end in m*rder.

His family is really worried.

Please help us.

Fine. Let's say he's dead.

Do you know who did it?

It's him.

CHOI WONJOONG

Why do you think
this weasel is the culprit?

He was the last person
to see him before he was taken.

What's the missing man's name?

It's Mr. Won Changseon.

WON CHANGSEON

He's dead. Satisfied?

I'll help check you out for the donuts.

No need.

How much is it?

[screaming]

Hello? Is this emergency services?

There's someone...

Someone's dead here.

[reporters clamoring]

[sighs]

[reporters clamoring]

[reporter 1] Look over here!
Give us a smile!

[guard] Please make way.

[reporter 2] They say you were the last
to see the deceased.

What did you talk about?

[reporter 3] Any words for the family?

[reporter 4] Mr. Choi!

Is it true you tried to end the strike
by bribing him?

Were you involved in the death?

I will cooperate fully
with the investigation.

My deepest condolences to his family.

[reporter 5] Please say a word for
the union and the bereaved.

[Soyeong] Why did you send


The deceased threatened Mr. Choi.

It just doesn't make sense

that the chairman of the labor union
would threaten the CEO.

Mr. Choi is very generous
to the less fortunate.

Then why did he hire th*gs
to kidnap and as*ault the victim?

-He never...
-Can you answer yourself?

Detective, you can't do that.

It's all right.

I really know nothing about it.

A tape recorder that the deceased had
has been found.

Near the golf practice range owned by you.

[Wonjoong] I said go.

[Changseon groaning]

[Wonjoong] God, you keep getting
in my way. I'm so upset.

[Changseon] Please, stop.

[Wonjoong] That's what I want to say.

Do you still not know?

Oh, right.

Oh, that day.

I had dinner with Mr. Won.

And we played golf after.

So...

are you admitting that
you assaulted the deceased?

Detective.

The chairman
of my company's union is dead.

No one is sadder than me.

Are you still going to deny it
despite this evidence?

What evidence?

Right.

The evidence showing
that I accidentally hit him with the ball?

But...

that's not enough
to prove I k*lled him. Right?

Am I right?

Do you know...

what's most difficult in business?

Competition with other companies?
Securing customers?

It's dealing with the have-nots.

Those who have nothing
and so with nothing to lose.

Those who just want
a piece of their masters

to feed themselves.

The lowlifes.

[phone buzzing]

This is Kim Soyeong.

The chief?

[chief] I'll keep it short.

Cover up Choi Wonjoong's case.

We can't do that.

You b*stard. Are you the chief here?

Do as you're told.

Even if the chief of police orders it,

I can't do that.

Do you think I'm doing this
because I want to?

The Choi Wonjoong case

will be thoroughly investigated
and sent to the prosecution.

Kim Soyeong!

[♪ intense music playing]

[Daon clears throat]

Ignore what the chief said.

We're going ahead with the investigation.

-Are you okay?
-[Soyeong scoffs]

Why wouldn't I be?

Are you okay?

Mocking the less fortunate
and lying outright. It makes me mad.

If only I could punish
Choi Wonjoong myself,

I'd k*ll him.

The duty of a police officer
is to reveal the crime, not punish.

We investigate according to procedure,

and judges punish with verdicts.

Legally and fairly.

Promise me.

Wherever you are and whatever you do,

don't ever forget that you're a detective.

I'm not a kid. I don't do pinky promises.

You're a kid to me.

[Daon] Happy?

That's enough, it's gross.

[Chairman Choi] The matter has gotten
out of hand.

Please help us, Assemblyman.

Please help us.

[Seonho] What dirty scheme
are you plotting here?

Don't tell me you...

No, I didn't do drugs.

Just tell him to get up.
The old man will ruin his knees.

[sighs] Mr. Choi, get up.

I said get up.

I know how much you care for your son.

But the judicial system

is as solid as an iron fortress.

I can't bend it to my will.

Our group has some land.

[laughs]

It may be a firm fortress,

but there may be a crack or two somewhere.

So you're saying

I'm the crack
in the country's judicial system?

Don't twist my words that way.

Why are you so twisted, Judge Kang?

You're the one who started it.

Anyway,

you take care of it
according to precedents.

Is this a favor or external pressure?

You offer me nothing,
so it can't be a favor.

And it's too non-threatening
to be external pressure.

It's neither.

Were you promised a nice position
somewhere after your retirement?

What do you take me for?

The person who always
assigns me annoying trials...

His underling.

Underling.

Under...

CHIEF JUDGE NA YEONGJIN

Thanks to the recorder the victim took
when he went to see the defendant,

the defendant's as*ault
was caught red-handed.

You work for one of the top law firms
that only hires elites.

Aren't you embarrassed
to be representing someone like him?

Don't like it that a judge
is talking to you like this?

[chuckles]

No, Your Honor.

Prosecutor, you may question
the defendant.

No questions, Your Honor.

PROSECUTION

[scoffs]

Defendant, why did you hit
the victim with a golf ball?

Where did you hide the th*gs
who kidnapped the victim?

Your Honor, the defendant is...

I just asked the defendant.

DEFENSE

I didn't intend to hit him.
It was an accident.

And they weren't th*gs.
They were employees of a security company.

I merely asked them

to safely escort Mr. Won
to the golf course.

Everything from when the victim
visited your home

to when he was brought to
the golf course was recorded.

Do you still intend to deny it?

I feel regretful that the security staff
were rough with Mr. Won.

But I don't know anything about it.

And you know nothing
about the victim's suicide?

No.

[scoffs]

[sighs] This is no fun.

That'll be all for today.

She's a complete nutjob.

How was the trial?

It's a so-so trial.
How well could it have gone?

Oh, right. Detective Han Daon called.

He wants to meet at the cafe.

Now?

Just get to the point.

You haven't taken my calls since that day.

I was wasted, wasn't I?

-I'm sorry. It won't happen...
-[Judge Kang] To the point.

Right.

The victim's family

believe the victim
would've never taken his own life.

Could you meet with the family
and listen to what they have to say?

I don't have time.

There was external pressure.

What are they hiding that they're
pressuring mere detectives?

How would I know that?

Besides, what am I supposed to do
when even the police can't figure it out?

You're a demon. And so I thought

maybe you could find proof
Choi Wonjoong caused his death.

You suspect me yet pretend
to trust me when you need me.

I envy how easy you live life.

I know it's weird I'm asking.
So I hesitated,

but I couldn't think of anyone else.

Help me. Please.

Has the victim been cremated?

This won't be easy on you.

The state of the body is quite grisly.

What are you doing?

You want to know
if it was suicide or homicide.

[♪ music crescendoes]

[man 1] Are you Chairman Won Changseon?

Yes, but what is this about?

-[man 2] Let's go.
-What are you doing?

[Wonjoong] Nothing brings people together
like a good game of golf.

Please, stop.

That's what I want to say.

[groaning]

[laughing]

Please.

[Changseon groans]

I'm having a great game.

[man] Please, let me go...

It was suicide.

Here.

Fine, don't have it.

Well, you leave me no choice then.

[Soyeong] Putting the serial m*rder case

and Choi Wonjoong's case aside,

we're going undercover
for an attempted as*ault case.

And we're hiding it from Daon.

Why aren't you asking why?

You see, I only do what you tell me to do.

I think that's how
I can become a detective like you.

[Donghun's stomach grumbles]

[chuckles] Go and buy something, quick.
I'm hungry, too.

Then you really leave me no choice.

I'll be right back. [chuckles]

Right.

Don't do anything on your own.

Officers always move in pairs.

I know. Go on.

NO TO HWANGCHEON-DONG REDEVELOPMENT!

[yelps and gasps]

I'm Detective Kim Soyeong, Nobong Police.

-It's dangerous to walk alone here.
-[chuckles]

You're alone too.

-Let me take you home.
-It's all right.

I can go alone, I'm fine.

Yes.

Thank you for your service.

Sure. Get home safely.

[dog barking]

The knife he was holding
was quite unusual.

REMARK

[automated voice] The number you've dialed
is unavailable...

I miss you too, Princess.

-[automated voice] To save the message...
-[call disconnects]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[both grunting]

Who are you, as*h*le?

[assailant grunts]

[both grunting]

Come here!

Stop right there, you b*stard!

[assailant grunts]

[grunting]

Stop!

Don't move! I'll sh**t!

It's you.

I've waited for 25 years.

We finally meet. [breathing heavily]

[g*n c*ck]

By the way, what was that earlier?

When I touch a dead body,

I can see what they experienced
right before they died.

So you used that power
to k*ll the murderers?

[scoffs]

I've never done that.

But even if I wanted to,

I wouldn't have had the chance to use it.

Because they cremate the body
a few days after the autopsy.

So what did you see?

Why are you sure it was suicide?

I did what you wanted. What's the problem?

-Just stop. Don't talk to me.
-[Daon clears throat]

Wait. That's Donghun.

Donghun.

Wow, look who it is.

It's been a while. How have you been?

[chuckles] Not well because of someone.

[Daon scoffs]

-But what are you doing here?
-What?

What do you mean?
I'm undercover with Detective Kim...

Undercover?

Well, we...

Where is she?

[g*nsh*t]

[dog barking]

[Donghun] Damn it!

[Daon] Detective Kim!

Detective Kim!

Detective Kim!

Detective Kim!

The Judge from Hell

♪ Lost ♪

♪ In the dark alone ♪

♪ When is enough justice ♪

♪ Justice, justice ♪

[♪ Korean song playing]

[detective] The blood found on the scene
is presumed to be Detective Kim's.

The only survivor of serial k*ller J,
I found him.

[Judge Kang] Is Han Daon?

[Daon] For believing in me
and telling me it wasn't my fault,

thank you.

Why are you forgiving him as you please?

[Judge Kang] Why not?
I've always made my judgements that way.

-Let me out!
-Asking the victim for forgiveness?

No, the Lord.

[Judge Kang] If you move, you'll get hurt.

[muffled groaning]

[girl] You really came.

Start it.

"Execute K*llers
unforgiven by their victims

and unrepentant of their sins
and send them to Hell."

That's what God wants.

Detective Han Daon.
Don't chase me. Help me.

Then I will find him

and make him pay in your place

because the law can't.

It will be more horrible

and violent.
