The Judge from Hell

CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS
FILMED IN SAFE ENVIRONMENT

-What happened?
-[Hongcheol] Hey.

If it's suicide, it's probably because
he kidnapped Kang. If it's m*rder...

Who could it have been?

Someone who wanted Jeong Seonho to die.

Stating the obvious, don't you think?

The body is mutilated
beyond visual identification.

Let's wait for the autopsy results.

-[officer] We found this near the scene.
-[Hongcheol] Okay.

"My father and brother k*lled me."

EPISODE 12

[Taegyu] I...

did not k*ll my brother.

Then why would your brother

leave a note like this?

I'm curious, too.

The day your brother supposedly died,

what were you doing?

I was home.

All security cameras
at your home were destroyed,

so we can't verify who came and went.

On the day
Judge Kang was held c*ptive at my house,

they were destroyed in the morning.

My brother likely did it.

Is that why you wanted
to k*ll your brother?

-Because he kept causing trouble?
-[Taegyu chuckles]

Why would I do that?

It's not worth k*lling him myself.

[Jaegeol] I k*lled him.

I raised him wrong
and set him on the wrong path.

No matter what anyone says,

he was precious to me.

Was he so precious to you

that you had to hold his funeral
even before the DNA results came out?

He's already gone.

Will they fall for it?

Of course.

Right, Justitia?

Oh, blue!

It's so pretty.

You're wrinkling them.

[Donghun] The day Judge Kang
was held c*ptive,

Jeong Taegyu met
with an assemblyman at a golf course.

The one preparing to propose legislation
on the redevelopment of Hwangcheon.

-[Jaegeol] Let's go.
-[assemblyman] All right.

-Seems shady.
-[Donghun] Yes.

[Hongcheol] When do we get
the DNA results?

In three days.

The burial day.

There's something fishy going on here.

Why are you so quiet?

What's bothering you?

I just have things to think about.

We have time before the burial.
Let's wait for the DNA results.

Keep an eye on Jaegeol and Taegyu.

-Yes, sir.
-All right.

PHOTOS FROM THE SCENE
JEONG SEONHO

[loud footsteps approaching]

[people whispering]

Must I express...

my condolences?

How dare you!

She's a guest.

Thank you for coming.

Congratulations.
The thorn in your side is gone.

[yells] Hey!

No need to pretend in front of me.

I know

[softly] you're not sad at all.

[chuckles]

[in normal voice] You're moving
the body tomorrow?

Good luck.

What a b*tch.

How amusing.

[Jaegeol sobbing]

[sobbing loudly]

How could you?

Why did you have to go before me?
[sobbing]

The body found in the car
is not Jeong Seonho's.

What? What do you mean?

[Eunseop] The results from the NFS.

Then who was in the car?

The DNA matches a wanted fugitive
who disappeared ten years ago.

[Donghun] What?

That doesn't make sense.

That means Jeong Seonho is alive.

Jeong Seonho was last seen
by a motel in Gangwon-do.

He got into an unregistered car there
and vanished.

-I'll go back to Gangwon-do.
-[Hongcheol] Okay.

[man] There's no need.

I'm...

turning myself in.

[Jaegeol crying] Seonho!

[softly] Sir.

Seonho is apparently
at the police station.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

-He's alive?
-[aide] Yes.

4 DAYS AGO

VIP
PATIENT: KANG BITNA

-Hello.
-[Myeongsuk] You're here.

-[Daon] Yes.
-Hello.

Hey.

Where is she?

We heard she was being discharged
and came to help,

but she's not here.

[phone vibrating]

[Judge Kang] At 10 tonight at the café
in front of the villa.


Where were you? I was worried.

Sit down so we can talk.

I was going to handle it myself,

but I thought it'd be better
to let you know in advance.

What is it?

Jeong Seonho is in Gangwon-do.

He has evidence of the J serial killings.

[knock at door]

[Mando in woman's voice]
I'm from reception.

Can you open the door for a moment?

The police called.

[Seonho gasping]

You should have just died then.

[chuckles]

We're going to use
Jeong Seonho to catch J.

[Arong exclaims] I found it!

You got this, Justitia.

Hey.

I'm going to clean up a bit.

[Arong] Hurry up.

Come on.

Whose axe is that?

Why do you want to know?

Is it your brother's or father's?

I don't know. I can't say.

Why? Are you scared?

That you might die
in the basement like your mom?

Shut up.

Why did you run away
with an axe that isn't yours?

You were planning to call home.

"I have proof of the serial killings."

"So help me escape."

Right?

Take that to the police station
and turn yourself in.

And tell them who J is.
Your father or brother.

Why should I do that?

Don't you want revenge
on your mom's k*ller?

I'll help you.

-I don't trust you.
-[chuckles]

You should.

Because your brother and father
will k*ll you.

Fine. Then let's make a bet.

Shouldn't we just take the ax?

No. He has to turn himself in

so we can use him as a witness later.

But do you think he'll do it?

We'll find out.

[Judge Kang] Call home as you planned to.

If your father and brother help you,

I'll walk away.

But if I'm right,
you have to cooperate with me.

What do you say?

[telephone keypad beeping]

[dial tone ringing]

[Taegyu] Hello?

Taegyu. It's me.

Help me.

[Taegyu] Where are you?
I'll send someone now.


You won't report me, will you?

I won't. Don't worry.

Okay. I won't.

[call disconnects]

[chuckles]

[loud clatter]

[sighs]

We should have k*lled him
along with his mom.

Well, it's better late than never.

[♪ intense music playing]

PHOENIX INN

[breathing deeply] Where are we going?

Stop the car. [yells] Stop!

[groaning]

[screams]

[man 1 exclaims]

What the...

Who are you? Get out of the way!

-We are...
-Who?

[chuckles] Demons.

[♪ rock music playing]

[man 1 groaning]

[Jaehyeon chuckles loudly]

[man 2 grunts]

[groans]

[all chuckling]

[Jaehyeon groans]

[man 3 groaning]

[man 4 groaning]

[all laughing]

-Let them go after a few days.
-Okay!

-How much of their memories do we erase?
-Just enough.

[Dongju] Okay.

I won.

Are you really going to take revenge
on the guy that k*lled my mom?

Of course.

What are you doing?

I'm recalling what you did to me
in the basement.

Pisses me off.

Let's end this bad blood between us.

What do I need to do?

The Judge from Hell

Where did you get that?

He's a sinner who died ten years ago.
For perfect evidence destruction,

we're often asked to declare
the bodies of sinners as missing.

[Jaehyeon chuckles] Our special
preservation technology

keeps the body fresh as if they died

-just yesterday...
-The note.

[Seonho] I wrote what you told me to.

MY FATHER AND BROTHER k*lled ME

But why are we doing this?

To trick your father and brother
to buy time.

So you can live and turn yourself in.

[demons laughing]

[both exclaiming and laughing]

[♪ theme music playing]

[expl*si*n]

Clean up the scene.

[both] Yes, ma'am!

Protect him until he hands himself over.

Don't worry.

And you. Don't hit him.

[chuckles] I'll try.

Over here.

-[Seonho] You called the police?
-[Daon] I'm not here as an officer.

But as a family member of a victim
waiting for you to turn yourself in.

[sirens wailing]

I'm...

turning myself in.

[Donghun] What's your relationship

with the person
who was found dead in your car?

[Seonho] I don't know him.

Why did you confine
and as*ault Kang Bitna?

I don't remember.

Hey, as*h*le.

You attacked Kang Bitna last year.

You were trying to k*ll her again
because you failed then!

Can you lower your voice?

I'll exercise my right
to remain silent until he leaves.

[Donghun] What? Your right?

You've heard that somewhere, haven't you?

I ought to...

I'll keep your secret
about k*lling Kang Bitna forever.

Nor will I punish

or legally sentence you.

And revenge for your mother,

you will get it for sure.

My father and brother

starved my mother to death.

-Do you have proof of that?
-The camcorder.

-Where is it?
-I don't know.

It was in the basement, but it's gone now.

[Daon sighs]

Is Jeong Taegyu J?

Or is it Jeong Jaegeol?

That's...

You've turned yourself in,
but why won't you tell the truth?

I won't say more.

For confining and assaulting Kang Bitna,
I will accept punishment.

So please make sure my mother's K*llers

get what they deserve, too.

[Eunseop] Daon.

We sent the ax to NFS for testing.

It's been expedited,
so we'll hear back in three days.

I shouldn't have said that here.

-I'm sorry.
-It's all right.

DETENTION

Thanks for cooperating with us.

Damn it!

-[yells] God damn it!
-[knock at door]

[whispers] I should've k*lled him.

[lawyer] Sir.

What did that as*h*le say to the police?

We don't know yet.

Also, we suspect the redevelopment project
will be suspended.

I think the assemblyman got cold feet.

It doesn't matter. What I want to know is

what Jeong Seonho said
and when he's being released.

Because he held c*ptive
an incumbent judge, he'll...

God damn it!

Make sure you bring him to me, okay?

Yes, sir.

[sighs deeply]

Sir, we got this information
from Nobong Police Station.

When Seonho turned himself in,
he handed over a weapon

saying it was proof of the serial murders.

A weapon?

-What weapon?
-Well, it's...

[lawyer groaning]

Tell me now.

[lawyer] Sir, it's a hand ax.

An ax...

[laughing maniacally]

Hey, this is big!

Jeong Taegyu bribed an assemblyman

to smooth over
the redevelopment of Hwangcheon.

Is there proof?

A clip was deleted
from the golf course camera.

But I restored all of it.

They're saying the redevelopment
of that area is ill*gal.

Could it be suspended?

-Of course.
-Get ready to question Jeong Taegyu.

I will, damn it...

[Daon and Eunseop chuckle]

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm just so excited.

And as you instructed,

we leaked information
about the ax Jeong Seonho turned in

so Jeong Taegyu finds out.

Okay, good.

Now explain, Daon.

Why did you suggest we leak that?

Jeong Jaegeol and Jeong Taegyu,

we'll make
the real criminal make his move.

That way, you can take care of him

before the results on the ax come out.

Because I think
that will help us find J faster.

[Jaegeol] You're back late.

[yells] Damn it!

[breathing heavily]

I remember the first day I met you.

You had that same look in your eyes then.

Jeong Seonho has evidence.

That's impossible.

Go check right now.

There's no need.

Really? We're accomplices.

No, Taegyu.

You did those things.

[yells] You told me to, as*h*le!

I only made suggestions.
You made the choice.

Now you must take responsibility
for that choice.

[laughing maniacally]

Do you know why

I moved slowly on redeveloping Hwangcheon?

The Kylum, which you dropped in Hwangcheon
when you escaped from Hell,

I already found it.

In the building next to Hwangcheon Villa.

[yells] Where is the Kylum?

Go down and check
if the ax is there first.

Hurry up!

[Jaegeol] The candles are still burning.

Which means no one's been inside.

Shut up and check it.

Jeong Seonho can't come in here.

Who was it?

[sirens wailing]

[laughing loudly]

My hunch was right.

Kang Bitna.

Hello, dear.

I'm sure it's been stifling in there.

I'll let you out soon.

[laughing]

[laughing loudly]

-Is it there?
-No.

[Taegyu screams]

Who did this?

Kang Bitna.

She's a demon?

That damn b*tch!

I'm going to k*ll her.

You can't k*ll her.

[yells] Then what am I supposed to do?

Give me the Kylum.

Then I'll send you abroad
along with all my assets.

How can I trust you?

Just now you tried to abandon me.

Fine. Then hand over
the Kylum at the airport.

Give it to the person I send to you.

And you can leave the country right away.

Call me when you're ready.

You'll have to

move quicker than the police.

[Arong] By the way, how did you do that?

[chuckles]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Arong] Wow.

-You're so smart.
-[Judge Kang and Arong chuckle]

You've been writing
Jeong Jaegeol and Jeong Taegyu all day.

You'll wear off your fingerprint.

There's no other way.

JEONG TAEGYU

TAEOK INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

[phone buzzing]

DEMON b*stard

[Jaegeol] It's all ready.
Come to the house.


HWANGCHEON VILLA

[heartbeat echoing]

-That's...
-[both] The Kylum!

[heartbeat echoing]

-[Arong] I'll come, too.
-You two stay here.

[Arong] But...

If we knew we'd find it this easily,
we only would've stared into this thing.

Shut it.

It's a forged passport.

You'll be able to withdraw the money
as soon as you arrive.

The Kylum.

Can you show it to me?

[Taegyu chuckles]

[heartbeat echoing]

[Taegyu] "When a demon lives in a human,

once the human body dies,

the demon dies with it."

That's what you told me
the first time we met.

You can't k*ll me.

I'm your father.

[g*nsh*t]

No.

My father died 26 years ago.

[airport staff] Mr. Jeong Taegyu?

-Yes.
-Please follow me. This way.

I will check your ticket and passport.

I was told you have something for me.

No, I don't.

Get it.

[Taegyu] Who are you?
[groans]

-[people gasping]
-[both grunting]

Give it.

[screaming]

[groaning]

[laughing]

[screaming]

-[Jaegeol laughing]
-[Taegyu groans]

I k*lled you.

You did, in the illusion I created.

[Taegyu screaming]

I use desires hidden deep
within humans' hearts to lure them.

What you've seen is nothing but
what your heart desires. [laughs]

You wanted to k*ll me, Taegyu!

[both scream]

-[grunts]
-[Taegyu screams]

Do you know why I'm sparing your life?

Because spending the rest
of your life in prison

will be a harsher punishment than death.
[laughs]

I'm sorry I won't be able to
send you any care packages.

[Taegyu] Come here.

-Come here, damn it.
-[heartbeat echoing]

Where are you going?

Come here, you b*stard!

I'll k*ll you!

Hey! Damn it!

Jeong Taegyu is J?

[Eunseop] Yes.

The forensic results are in from NFS.

[Donghun] "The blood on the ax blade

contained the DNA
of serial k*ller J's victims

and Inspector Kim Soyeong."

"And on the ax handle,

Jeong Taegyu's fingerprints were found."

-[Hongcheol] Let's go get him.
-[Donghun] Yes, sir.

[Eunseop] Yes, sir.

Forensic results of the ax are in.

Jeong Taegyu is J.

And also Satan.

[Daon] We're on our way
to Jeong Taegyu's house.


I'll get there first. See you there.

[engine accelerates]

[groaning]

[engine starts]

[Jaegeol laughs]

Finally, I'll be immortal.

[laughing]

[heartbeat echoing]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Jaegeol laughing]

[heartbeat echoing]

-It was you?
-[Jaegeol grunts]

You have ten seconds
to tell me what happened.

Ten, seven, three...

Let me go, and let's talk.

We hail from the same place.

I'm in no mood to chat with you.

[Jaegeol groans]

Go to Hell.

You're Justitia.

Don't you dare say my name
with that filthy mouth.

Don't you want to know
how Jeong Taegyu became serial k*ller J?

No. Just die.

[Jaegeol] Han Daon!

It's related
to his deceased parents as well.

Twenty-six years ago,

my rebellion failed,
and I escaped from Hell.

I was injured during the escape

and had lost the Kylum, too.
I wandered aimlessly when I met him.


[rings doorbell]

And I could sense it right away.

His bloodthirstiness would save me.

[real Jaegeol] Are you here to beg
just because you got into university?

I...

I studied really hard even after Mom died

because I wanted to be
a son you'd be proud of.

I got into Seoul National University,

Father.

Don't call me Father.

Your birth was a mistake.

My one mistake.

My wife and Seonho will be home soon.

Don't tell anyone you're my son.

Live quietly.

There.

-[Taegyu grunts]
-[real Jaegeol groans]

[Taegyu] A mistake?

A mistake?

[screaming]

Father.

[gasping]

Damn it!

[Satan] All humans make mistakes.

Who are you?

One who will turn your mistake
into an opportunity.

A demon.

What?

You just wanted him
to acknowledge you as his son.

But he treated you like dirt,
and it made you angry.

I understand your desire to k*ll him.

What do you know?

[Taegyu yelps and gasps]

I'm a demon.

I know how far people can fall.

You must k*ll people for me

and bring me different body parts
from their bodies.

And when all the parts are collected,

you'll help me find the Kylum.

Easy, right?

I don't understand what you're saying.

Why should I k*ll for you?

Because it needs to look like
m*rder committed by a human.

I'm actually on the run.

Fine. Let's say you're a demon.

If I k*ll for you,

what do I get?

[sighs]

I will remove the stench from your body.

The stench of poverty
you've spent your life loathing

but couldn't shake off.

If you work with me,

you'll no longer have to beg
for money, honor, or your father's love.

You'll have everything

and rise above
everybody else in this world.

Who are you to be offering me that?

Wander in your desires.

My son.

[Jaegeol] I picked a good one.

Even from his first k*lling,
he was flawless.


[laughing maniacally]

[thunder rumbling]

[gasps]

[screaming]

Your b*stard son

has k*lled someone!

[chuckles]

[Jaegeol] Of course, there were obstacles.

Water.

[Jaegeol] But they were easily handled.

As if enjoying the hunt,
Taegyu expertly selected his targets.


I'm here to inspect your gas.

Of course, hello.

Please come in this way.

[Jaegeol] The last one
was also perfectly ex*cuted.


Just for that reason,
you k*lled innocent people

and Han Daon's family?

It's worth it. Immortality is a blessing.

A blessing I have given myself.

The Kylum!

I'll give it to you.

I don't need it.

I promised I'd bring it and you to Bael.

Don't you want to stay with Han Daon
forever in human form?

The body's already prepared.

All you need is the Kylum
to enter that body.

You can live on forever
in the way you want to.

And by your lover's side.

Awaken from the darkness

and slay your enemies.

[corpse growling]

[growling continues]

[Jaegeol grunts]

[Jaegeol] I didn't even imagine
you had such a desire.

You've become a human.

You don't repent, do you?

Nor do I regret.

Carry out
your remaining punishment in Hell.

Don't trust Bael.

He's the demon of all demons!

[laughing]

You're wrong. The demon of all demons

is me.

Jeong Taegyu got away.


Incheon Port?

-[sighs]
-[boatman] What the...

[boat machine stuttering]

[boatman] Why did it suddenly stop?

Seriously? God damn it.

Just a second. I'll fix it right away.

Damn it.

[Daon] Jeong Taegyu, you son of a b*tch!

Die! Die, you b*stard!

-Who are you?
-Let's go together.

To Hell.

-Are you a detective?
-No.

I'm the son of your victims.

When did he get on?

What?

Damn it.

-[Daon grunts]

[both grunting]

[Taegyu groaning]

-[Daon grunts]
-[Taegyu groans]

[Daon grunting]

It's been a while.

Have we... met?

The last murders you committed.

I'm the only survivor
of the Yeonju-dong m*rder.

Ah.

You were that kid?

It's so nice to see you. [chuckles]

Yeah, you too.

I've waited 25 years.

[chuckles]

That's exactly what she said.

Kim...

So...

yeong.

[chuckling]

[breathing heavily]

[Soyeong] Don't move! I'll sh**t!

It's you. [breathing heavily]

I've waited for 25 years.

We finally meet.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[g*nshots]

[Soyeong groaning]

[Soyeong breathing heavily]

[groaning]

[groans]

You shouldn't have tried so hard.

Why did you follow me? Now look at you.

Goodbye.

[Taegyu screams]

sh*t!

Jeong Taegyu, you're under arrest

for the J serial killings

and for harming a police officer.

Wait. I'll turn myself in.

Here. Cuff me.

[Seonho grunts]

[♪ intense music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[Soyeong groans]

[Taegyu grunting]

[Soyeong breathing heavily]

[groaning]

Does it hurt? Beg for your life.

You're pathetic.

And pitiful.

-I feel sorry for you.
-What?

People like you
who don't know how to repent,

are the most pitiful in the world.

I'll make sure you regret saying that.

JEONG TAEGYU

This is your last chance.

Beg for your life.

You beg for forgiveness!

From all those you've k*lled.

Beg before I k*ll you!

Even if I die,

my colleagues will catch you.

You'll be put on trial
and punished for your crimes.

In life, you'll rot in jail.

In death, you'll burn in Hell,
Jeong Taegyu!

You little...

Is this why you were so c*ck?

They'll get you...

no matter what.

[laughing maniacally]

I usually...

dismember them after I k*ll them.

But I didn't want to
show that officer any mercy.

I was so angry, you know?

So...

I cut it off when she was still alive.

Chop, chop.

Chop! [laughing]

You as*h*le!

[Daon grunting]

-[Taegyu chuckles]
-[Daon grunting]

[Taegyu groans] Damn it.

[Taegyu screaming]

[Taegyu] You b*stard.

-[Daon] Die!
-[Taegyu screaming]

-[Taegyu choking]
-[Daon grunting]

[Daon] Die, you b*stard!

[grunting]

[coughing]

[chuckles]

[Daon] Say what you did was wrong.

[yells] Beg for forgiveness!

[in normal voice] From all those
you've k*lled.

And from me.

I'm sorry.

[crying] Please forgive me.

Like this?

The boat Jeong Taegyu's on
leaves in an hour.

I'm going to k*ll him.

If you k*ll him,

I will give everything as a demon
to protect you in Hell.

But if you let him live,

I will give everything as a judge
to make sure he's punished.

Legally.

Whatever you choose, I trust you.

So you should trust me, too,

and do what you want.

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.

[breathing heavily]

[chuckling] You idiot.

[laughing loudly]

[Taegyu continues laughing]

[groans]

[laughing]

[Daon] Jeong Taegyu.

You're under arrest for k*lling
the J serial m*rder victims

-and Inspector Kim Soyeong.
-[handcuffs snapping]

[Daon yells] You have the right
to remain silent!

[in normal voice] And the right
to an attorney.

You may refuse any unfair statement.

[Taegyu] What the...

[sirens wailing]

[Taegyu groans] Damn it!

What an idiot. [chuckling]

[Taegyu] Damn it.

-My leg hurts!
-[Donghun] as*h*le.

[boatman sighs]

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

Detective. You were so cool back there.

Had your parents seen you,

they would have said,
"Our son has grown up so well."

"We're so proud of our son."
[chuckles]

-Well, then...
-[boatman] Of course.

OLD HAG

[Mija] What?

SOON-TO-BE-DEAD

Why is a soon-to-be-dead woman calling me?

Can I ask a favor?

To get Han Daon on the boat?

How did you know?

I know everything you do.

You said you couldn't protect him.
That it's up to me now.

I was bluffing to see what you'd do.

What?

The boat can be stopped,

but I can't stop Han Daon
from going to Hell.

Don't worry. Even if he goes to Hell,
I'll protect him.

COURT

[♪ rock music playing]

KICK KANG BITNA OUT!

WHERE'S A JUDGE'S CONSCIENCE?

THE JUDICIARY IS DEAD
THERE IS NO JUSTICE

KANG BITNA OUT
WE DON'T NEED TRASH

[protestor] Judge Kang!
Stop handing down

unjust rulings!

[protestors] Stop!

While Assemblyman Jeong remains missing,

Jeong Taegyu, CEO of
Taeok Industrial Development,


who's been revealed to be serial k*ller J,

will face his first trial
for murdering an officer.


However, Judge Kang Bitna,
who's provoked outrage


for her controversial rulings,
will be presiding.


Thus, there are strong doubts
as to whether a fair trial is possible.


Yes, Assemblyman.

Judge Kang will make sure
everything goes well.

Yes, sir. Goodbye, sir.

-[phone ringing]
-Yes, this is Na Yeongjin...

Goodness, Assemblyman Jang.

[chuckles] Don't worry.

As you requested, Judge Kang
will be presiding over this case.

-Yes, sir. Yes.
-[sighs]

Sounds like Jeong Taegyu's made deals
with many assembly members.

It does. And now
they're all getting anxious.

The phone's ringing off the hook.

-Gosh, that's bitter.
-[phone ringing]

Hello, Minister.

[people whispering]

I'm sure she couldn't come for a reason.

Think of me as your daughter today.

And I'll be your grandson.

DEFENDANT

[Taegyu sighs]

[whispering continues]

[Bael] You can stop playing judge now.

Bael.

For finding the Kylum
and sending Satan back to Hell,

I forgive all your sins.

I have one last mission for you.
Release Jeong Taegyu,

punish him, and send him directly to Hell.

If you refuse,

you will be dragged to Hell...

and face a terrible death.

[♪ intense music playing]

Isn't she late?

[bailiff] All rise.

There will be...

no trial.

[♪ Korean song playing]

[Arong] If you don't release Jeong Taegyu,
you'll die.


Just wrap up the trial and let him go.

-I'm a judge.
-You're a demon first.

Let him go.

Taeok Industrial Development building
basement level 5 wasn't searched.

-[Hongcheol] Let's go.
-[Eunseop] Freeze!

[Daon] What is this?

Let's make a trade.
I'll have you released.

We need to play our parts.

If I give Jeong Taegyu a light sentence,

will you hate me?

[Daon] I trust you.

It's only right
that a criminal must be punished.

Let that be a reality, not a miracle.

However, regarding these crimes,

the statute of limitations
has already ended in 2014.

-That crime was not considered.
-[laughs]

Han Daon. She's going to die!

-[Mando] You really won't regret this?
-[Daon] Kang Bitna!

[Judge Kang] I wouldn't have started
if I was going to.


[Daon sobbing] Don't die, please!
Please, Kang Bitna!
