01x05 - The Witness

[bunniefuu]

WINTER OF 2006

That'll be two dollars.

The electricity went out again.

Gosh, my mom isn't here to help.

Where's the lighter?

Excuse me.

The last time there

was a blackout,

the fruit store across

from here got robbed,

and the culprit was never found.

Forget what I said. Good night.

GALAXY MARKE

What on earth?

Why hasn't he left yet?

GALAXY MARKE

GALAXY MARKE

GALAXY MARKE

You hit on me first!

My friends said you did that

because you like me.

Being the bighearted person I am,

I confessed my feelings first.

But you dare respond

by playing hard to get?

I hate it, you know.

Get up. It's late enough.

You should go home.

Whether I go home

or sleep out here

is none of your business.

Who do you think you are?

Why are you curious

as to where I am?

Why do you even call me?

Every time you don't come home,

your mom seeks me out worried.

Give me a piggyback ride.

- What?

- I'm too exhausted to walk,

so carry me home.

Mister,

just be on your way.

It's weird to strike up a

conversation with a stranger.

Do as you wish then.

But you like me.

I know it. I can see it all.

It's obvious to me.

What is it that you know?

What about me do you know about?

Should I tell you

what kind of person I am?

FLOWER OF EVIL

EPISODE 5

We found it inside

the warehouse earlier.

We were wondering if

it belongs to you.

Come in.

Did you perhaps call for a cab?

No, I didn't.

Then what is that taxi doing

at my inn for no reason?

I needed a cab-ride

anyway, so maybe I'll ask.

Get in.

Is it your watch?

Detective Cha?

Sorry?

Should I send it

over to Forensics?

It's nice to see you.

I really wanted to meet you.

How did you manage to

stay hidden so well?

What do you want?

Jung Mi Sook.

Jung Mi Sook.

Ms. Jung Mi Sook. I've

heard of that name before.

"Jung Mi Sook"?

- Isn't it that woman?

- What?

The woman whose

body wasn't found.

My gosh, I'm scared

to even talk about it.

You're right. The last victim

that was k*lled by Do Min Seok.

My gosh, don't move.

I don't know you

or Jung Mi Sook.

Oh, dear. You don't know?

I'm starting to feel sorry.

Nam Soon Kil ended

up dying for nothing.

Either pick that up

or ignore the call.

- Hello?

- Hey, I know who Jung Mi Sook is.

She was the last victim that

was k*lled by Do Min Seok.

What?

Don't you get it? The

culprit is her husband.

Where are you right now?

- Me?

- Where are you?

You don't need to

know. Let's hang up.

I bet your baby's pretty big

now. Is it a daughter or a son?

You're on the run for

committing m*rder,

but you're married with a kid?

I had nothing to do with

Do Min Seok's murders.

It's natural for

you to say that.

But

let me know if you

want compensation.

Who knows?

We might be able

to compromise on

Goodness, what's going on?

Yes, it's mine.

I was wondering where I lost it.

I must've dropped

it in the warehouse.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I'll be off now.

A taxi driver is

assaulting a passenger

in front of an inn

by the fishing place.

We need backup.

What? A criminal

wiretapped the police?

Why don't you just ask

criminals to catch criminals?

- This is so humiliating.

- Don't get too worked up, sir.

First, we need to

catch Park Kyung Choon.

- What about the press?

- We'll have to deal with them.

Choi Jae Seop, that punk.

- Choi Jae Seop.

- Sir!

You punk!

- Sir, calm down.

- Please.

I'm going to k*ll that punk

and get arrested today.

I solved so many

cases until now.

How could you be like this

just because I made a mistake?

What? "A mistake"?

You're not supposed to make

a mistake! You're a cop!

- Let me go! Let go of me!

- Sir, that's enough.

Okay, let me go. I'll

stop, so let me go already.

Hey, shouldn't you be

investigating right now?

- Let's investigate.

- Okay, sir.

Come here.

How could you humiliate the

entire police force like this?

I have sensitive

hair! Let me go!

How could you get fooled

around by a culprit?

- Let go or I'll do the same.

- Go ahead.

- 1, 2, 3.

- 2, 3.

Let me go.

- How dare you do this to your boss?

- This is just self-defense, sir!

- This is excessive self-defense!

- Please stop

- How dare you

- Will you please

That's enough, you darn coppers!

We need to catch Park

Kyung Choon tonight.

Tomorrow morning, we're going

to be all over the news.

If we want to save face,

we need to at least have

the culprit arrested.

So what's your plan?

Park Kyung Choon

drives a call taxi.

I asked the software

manufacturing company

to give us the vehicle log.

We already have his call logs

and credit card statements.

Team Five is currently

looking into the suspect's

family and financial status.

Listen carefully. We need

to catch him no matter what.

If he gets arrested by someone

from another police station,

or you fail to bring

him to me by tonight,

I'll shave your heads

starting with you.

And don't tell anyone

that we got wiretapped.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Hurry up and catch him. I'm

sick of you all. Get to work.

- Hey, bring me the files.

- Okay.

Let's go.

My gosh.

Where are you right now?

We got a report saying a taxi

driver kidnapped a civilian.

So we're on our way to check.

We're going to trace Park

Kyung Choon's taxi soon.

Make sure you go there as

soon as we get the location.

Okay, sir.

Do Hyun Su!

Hey, Ji Won.

About that watch that the

constable found for you

- What?

- Since when did you

carry around an extra watch?

I brought it with me

to mend the strap, but I

forgot it was in my pocket.

I never saw it before.

When did you buy it?

It looked pretty expensive.

It's my husband's.

I asked him to give it to

me so I could take it

to the repair shop

on my way to work.

But earlier, you

said it was yours.

I just said that because

it's my husband's.

Why are you obsessing

over something so trivial?

Now is not the time for that.

But Ji Won

Will you please stop?

What is it? What's your problem?

Why are you so curious

about a darn watch?

No, that's not what

I was going to say.

You're not wearing your

seatbelt. Fasten your seatbelt.

You didn't even listen to

what I was going to say.

My gosh, again?

Make sure you don't get

hurt again. You're all done.

Whatever.

I'm not the Kim Moo Jin

you used to know, sir.

The person you gave

stitches to today

didn't get stitches for

falling off a cultivator

like he did when he was little.

I got hurt while trying to catch

a m*rder*r. You should know that.

That man searched all

over the neighborhood

to find his wife's corpse.

I can't believe he ended

up k*lling someone.

It's all because he's

sick in the mind.

I'm going to get back to my job.

The cops need to hurry

up and catch Do Hyun Su.

What does he have

anything to do with this?

The cops need to catch him

in order to find the body.

Why?

Gosh, you're being

so frustrating.

He went around k*lling people

with his dad, so he should know

where the body is.

Sir, that's what you

call witch-hunting.

The cops already

settled the case

saying it was a one-man crime

committed by Do Min Seok.

Gosh. Hyun Su isn't

a serial k*ller.

He's a regular k*ller.

What are you talking about?

He did it with his father.

You shouldn't punish family

members of a criminal.

That's not the trend anymore.

What kind of a

reporter is this dense?

Seriously. You're educated enough.

You shouldn't mislead people.

Do you really not know?

What?

That

You're so frustrating.

I'm the one who's frustrated.

What? What don't I know? What?

Was it this man?

Yes, it was him.

He beat up my guest

and dragged him away.

It was frightening.

Yes, Chief. It was

Park Kyung Choon.

Did you know the victim?

No. He looked like an outsider.

He said he was here

just to get away.

How did he pay?

- With cash.

- Did he ask for a receipt?

No, he didn't.

My gosh. It must be his phone.

This is the spot where

it all went down.

What's wrong?

What do I do now?

I think the abduction victim

is my husband.

What? What are

you talking about?

I don't know what

I'm saying either.

But this is Hee Seong's phone.

What? But how?

Is this the person

who was abducted?

Yes, it was him. I'm positive.

Hello, Detective Choi.

Park Kyung Choon is still close

to the town. Where are yo?

At an inn by a fishing spot.

Can you locate Park

Kyung Choon's cab?

What are you waiting

for? Get in your car!

Please clear a path.

Ji Won.

Park Kyung Choon

isn't even speeding.

Okay, he's relaxed.

Take the road toward the reservoir

and step on it. You can catch him.

Ji Won, slow down.

Ji Won.

h* Joon. Wake up. h* Joon!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

No.

Sorry.

I forgot you were sitting there.

I must've snapped.

What's wrong with me?

We don't have time for this.

We have to find Hee Seong.

Yes, we do.

So tell me. What do I not know?

What do I not know?

Why are you so impatient?

Hold on.

It's time for my medicine.

I'll tell you after I take this.

Sit down.

So

Well

Are you okay?

I'm with the Yeonju

Police Station.

I'd like to speak with you

regarding the break-in,

robbery, and as*ault

of Oh Bok Ja.

Please give us your statement.

- Okay.

- Hey, Kyung Shik.

You tell him.

What?

He was on the team

that investigated

the serial m*rder.

And he's a reporter in Seoul.

You tell him the story.

He refuses to leave until I do.

What story?

You know. That.

Oh. That.

Doctor.

You can't tell

that to civilians.

It was over 18 years

ago. What's the big deal?

Well

It's You know.

Yes, it is.

I'm going mad.

Fill me in too! Come on!

A witness.

A witness?

What witness?

Baek Hee Seong.

Baek Hee Seong.

So Do Hyun Su has a

driver's license

by the name of Baek Hee Seong.

I wonder why.

You gained a new identity.

Who would've imagined, right?

A serial k*ller

changed his identity,

got married,

and even had a child.

And it seems like

you regularly trimmed your hair.

Should I make you more jealous?

I own a two-story

house in Seoul.

It's mine.

Although,

the bank owns more

of it at the moment.

You dare to laugh?

It's just pathetic.

What's so pathetic?

The one you wanted

revenge on died.

So his son Do Hyun Su seemed

like the perfect target

to excrete all the anger

you were yet to unleash.

"He's just like his father."

"He's been possessed

by an evil spirit."

"He was in a mental

institution."

"He's soulless."

"The two only kept

to themselves."

- The two only kept to themselves.

- He's just like his father.

- He's been possessed.

- He was in a mental institution.

"He was aware of his

father's crimes."

"They were accomplices!"

No?

So the rumors are true.

Are you not scared of anything?

I could

k*ll you in a

heartbeat, you know.

An opponent who I

can see through?

Why would I be scared of him?

It's kind of boring.

But you still feel pain.

I

will inflict pain on you until

you tell me what I want to know.

Tell me.

Where's Jung Mi Sook?

That was close enough.

What?

Say that again.

That was

Revenge?

You failed miserably.

k*lling me would be a failure

and so will severing my limbs

as well as putting

holes in my body.

Why?

Because you can't

possibly prove

what I didn't do

or that I didn't even

know of this incident.

Understand?

What you'll do to me is obvious.

However,

how that'll ruin you forever

is what intrigues me.

So show me.

Are you all right? Tell

me that you're okay!

We're good.

But Park Kyung Choon

We need to find him fast.

We set up more checkpoints,

and detectives are staking out

outside his house, place of work,

and the residents of

his acquaintances.

We requested his recent route

sheet, so we'll have something soon.

What's important though is

the identity of his victim.

I think it's my husband.

What? What are

you talking about?

My husband is who he abducted.

What? Why?

I don't know. I have no idea.

Right now, I have no answers.

I don't even know why Hee

Seong was at that inn.

The owner said he

was on vacation.

Jae Seop, what should I do?

Give me an order. I need

to do at least something.

If I don't, I might

completely lose it.

That rat. How dare he go

after a family member of ours!

Tell me what to do!

- Ji Won, please calm down.

- How am I supposed to calm down?

An abduction means he had

a place to take his victim.

He's a taxi driver.

Derelict factories

and buildings

as well as residential

areas being redeveloped.

There are hundreds of

places he could go.

We'll be able to pinpoint a

location once we have his routes.

Once we have them?

Of course.

Yes, you'll find the place

along with my

dismembered husband!

- Ji Won

- Jae Seop.

It's my husband I need to

find, not Park Kyung Choon.

Alive, as well!

You saw how Park Kyung

Choon k*lled Nam Soon Kil.

We're doing our best.

You of all people know that.

You've handled your fair

share of culprits like him.

You're the one who caught the

Jooa-dong kidnapper last year

even before we had a suspect.

That was my hunch

doing its best work.

My eyes locked gazes with

his while questioning him

and goosebumps shot up my arm.

So you followed him

everywhere to find evidence.

I'm sure these men

have certain habits.

Rather than sitting around,

there must be

something we can do.

I need you to think.

What else can we

do right now but

Give me a second.

Why

What made me suspect him?

Why? Ji Won

Yes, I remember now.

You two.

Meet me at Park Kyung

Choon's house right now.

Abducted?

Who abducted my son?

We're certain that

it was the suspect

of the Chinese

restaurant m*rder case

and are conducting our search.

What does he have to

do with Baek Hee Seong?

Why on earth did

he abduct our son?

Have you heard of

the name Do Hyun Su?

No, I haven't heard

that name before.

Do Hyun Su has been on the run

ever since he was suspected

of k*lling a village foreman

18 years ago in Yeonju City.

Do you perhaps remember

the serial killings

that took place there?

No, I don't.

Yes, I do.

I think I vaguely remember.

Do Hyun Su is the son

of the serial k*ller,

Do Min Seok.

So So what?

What does Do Hyun Su have

anything to do with this?

The guy who abducted your

son has only one target.

It's Do Hyun Su.

It looks like he's trying to

frame Do Hyun Su for m*rder

so that the police will

start looking for him.

And we're guessing that's

why your son got abducted.

So what is that person

planning to do with Do Hyun Su?

Honey.

Let's leave the case

to the detectives.

Our utmost priority right now

is to rescue your son.

And for safety measures,

we're going to have detectives on

standby so they can protect you.

Okay, I understand.

Please

do your best to save my son.

Okay, sir.

The conversation went a

lot easier than expected.

- What?

- Normally,

when someone gets abducted,

it's very hard to have

a conversation with

the victim's family.

They beg us to save and

rescue their child

and get angry at us for

not doing a better job.

I also thought it was weird.

They seemed more

interested in the case

than the well-being

of their son.

Well, we're not their family,

so it's hard to know

what kind of relationship

they have with their son.

Let's go.

This is driving me crazy.

What in the world

has he been doing?

What did I tell you?

I told you it'd be better

to have him live with us.

That wouldn't have changed much.

We knew what we were

getting ourselves into

when we took him in despite

his complicated background.

The culprit knew Hee

Seong was Do Hyun Su.

I'm sure of it.

What are we going to do now?

Once the culprit gets caught,

people will find out that

Hyun Su lived as Hee Seong.

If something happens to us,

who will take care of Hee Seong?

The culprit

will k*ll Do Hyun Su.

What?

Listen to me carefully.

If Hyun Su dies,

we will be the only

ones who know the truth.

We'll just be a pitiful, old

couple who got used by him

because he knew our weakness.

We'll just say we

didn't know anything.

We didn't know he was a

serial m*rder*r's son

or that he was a wanted

criminal for a m*rder case.

We'll say we didn't even

know that he was Do Hyun Su.

People will come around

and understand us.

How long do you

think you have

until your lungs become

a pair of water balloons?

The good news

is that you still have

time to change yourself.

I told you.

I can't prove what I don't know.

May 12, 2002.

It was Sunday, and the

weather was beautiful.

It was the kind of

day that made you

want to go outside for

a picnic or a date.

What did you do that day?

Are you joking

with me right now?

That was when Mi

Sook disappeared.

It was a black SUV. The

license plate number was 3194.

Mi Sook was in that car on

the day she disappeared.

I'm sure you know very well

since that was your father's car.

My gosh, where is this from?

Sir, let me pour you

a bottle of wine from France.

Hey, we were only going to drink

just a little bit. This is too much.

Who knew we'd click so well?

You're right.

But I feel like I talked

way too much today.

Don't tell me you're using

me to get what you want.

What do you take me for?

Okay.

Here. Okay?

And what else?

- Where did it go?

- What?

Where's my recorder? I'm

sure I put it in here.

Hey, you're being suspicious.

Sir, you got yourself

a search warrant.

Go ahead and search

me all you want.

Are you sure about that?

Gosh, forget it. I

trust you. Sit down.

Here.

Drink up. Let's drink.

I'll make you blackout

no matter what.

Sir, I need to go

to the bathroom.

Okay.

May May 12, 2002.

The year 2002.

May 12.

At 2am.

Sehyun 2-dong.

And the witness. Jang Young Hee.

MAY 12, 2002, 2AM, SEHYUN

2-DONG, JANG YOUNG HEE

Worked at JNQ Hotel.

This is getting

really interesting.

It was 2:30am at Sehyun

2-dong intersection.

Someone saw Mi Sook

being forced to get

in Do Min Seok's car.

The witness memorized the

license plate number

and called the cops.

And Do Min Seok

got investigated.

But he got acquitted.

That's because his son

made sure his father

had a solid alibi.

If Do Min Seok got

arrested that day,

Mi Sook wouldn't have died.

That was the last

chance to save Mi Sook.

I just told them the truth.

I was with my dad

starting from the morning of

that day until the next morning.

I told them where we

were by 10 minutes,

and my statement always

remained the same.

If you're telling the truth,

that means Do Min Seok's

car went around

abducting people on its own.

That's pretty common, isn't it?

The witness was drunk.

And she changed her statement.

Why are you leaving that out?

My statement stayed consistent.

But the witness

changed what she said.

She told the cops

she can't remember.

k*lling me

won't complete your imagination.

How How do you have

Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Mi Sook had the same one.

But Nam Soon Kil told

me this belonged to you.

Why?

Why are you suddenly so silent?

Tell me!

Who would have something

that Mi Sook had on her just

before she went missing?

Who?

Who would it be?

DO MIN SEOK

Hyun Su.

What's this?

A goldfish brings luck.

Keep it on you at all times.

Ms. Do Hae Su.

Ms. Do Hae Su. I'd like

an interview, please!

The people have

the right to know.

Do Hyun Su is back

in the spotlight.

Some suspect that you're

helping your brother escape.

- She's coming out!

- She's coming out!

- She's coming out!

- She's coming out!

Please leave.

I don't know anything.

When Do Min Seok was committing

the serial murders, you were 19.

Did you really not know that

your father was a serial k*ller?

No, I didn't.

After it was revealed that your

father was a serial k*ller,

and your brother fled after

k*lling the village foreman,

you entered an art school.

A very prestigious art school.

Please say a word to

the victims' families.

Sorry.

Wait! If you're not

helping Do Hyun Su flee,

why don't you show

your face proudly?

I can tell you're pretty.

Sorry.

Open the door!

Ms. Do Hae Su?

She doesn't seem sorry.

She is pretty though.

I thought about why I

was fixated on him

during the Jooa-dong

kidnapping case.

And I remembered the reason.

He lived in a town that

was being redeveloped,

but his door lock

was way too fancy.

It was obviously

recently installed.

He was moving out soon,

but it had an auto-lock feature

and a fingerprint scanner.

Park Kyung Choon would've

needed a lock as well

to keep his hideout secure.

That's right. He would've

hired a locksmith

and paid him.

We'll find something

if we search his home.

Explain it to me.

How did you get something

that belonged to Mi Sook?

Why? Why can't you

say anything? Why?

You were yapping well until

now without batting an eye.

So why Why can't

you explain this?

Tell me.

Where's Mi Sook?

Over there.

Spread out.

Look at this.

Find the rest of the number.

Here.

CALL FOR A CONSULTATION

Yes, I remember.

Construction had stopped

there for a while already,

so I thought it was odd

that he wanted a door lock.

Just tell me where

you buried Mi Sook.

Then I'll let you live.

I don't know.

You were born into this

world as a human being.

So you should live as one

at least for one

moment. Don't you agree?

In that dark,

damp, and cold place,

she's waiting for me

to get her out.

She must be so anxious.

Please, tell me. I beg you.

Please tell me.

It wasn't me.

It's his cab.

Call for backup and

block this exit.

We've located Park Kyung

Choon. Requesting backup.

Get back!

Park Kyung Choon, you are

under arrest for the m*rder

of Nam Soon Kil, and the abducting

and false imprisonment

of Baek Hee Seong.

Get over here.

Park Kyung Choon!

sh**t him.

Drop the knife.

Drop the knife!

sh**t him. Just sh**t!

Yes, sh**t.

Let's see who dies.

sh**t. sh**t him.

Out of my way.

Move!

Detective Choi, stay with me.

Detective!

Should I tell you

what kind of person I am?

I never graduated high school.

Why not?

No reason. I had a

hard time adjusting.

I was even in a g*ng once.

Back then, I spent all my

days getting into fights.

Have you punched

a person before?

No.

I've punched a guy

to the point

where I wasn't even aware

of my scrapped knuckles.

It actually felt

good.

Also

I see things that I shouldn't.

I'm not normal in the head.

What exactly do you see?

A dead person.

You must've loved that person.

My dead grandmother popped

into my dreams once.

"Grandma, you can go now."

"Stop worrying about

me and rest in peace."

She heard me and walked away.

You really are

quite dense.

You feel bad because you

have nothing to offer me?

I don't know how

to feel that way.

You only have one problem.

You don't see yourself

in the way I see you.

I'll like you a lot

from here on out.

I'll be there for you.

I'll teach you everything

you don't know.

Then one day, things

will change for you.

You'd be surprised.

Unbelievable.

You're doing it

again with that gaze.

My heart just skipped a beat.

But still, you say that you

don't feel the same way.

You're

a mystery to me.

Does that mean

you like me?

The mood couldn't be better,

and there's nothing more to say,

so let's kiss.

Father,

you can go now.

I want to stay here.

So please Please go.

What do we do now?

How about a drink?

Hee Seong!

Please help!

I always thought

that I was lucky

to have met you.

But

for the first time,

I'm thinking you

should've never met me.

Yes.

I finally know what it means.

I'm

sorry.
