Adamas (2022): Season 1, Episode 11 - Episode #1.11 - full transcript

(theme music)

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

HYESOO: Kim Seohee.

You know that reporter, right?
The witness.

What on earth...

is this about?

Why don't we use her?

-Use?
-She could claim

to have seen the chairman
at the crime scene

22 years ago.



You want her to bear false witness?

Correct.

That's absurd.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Do you think we can catch him

without any solid evidence?

At least they'll start
investigating that case.

I can't do that.

Maybe not you.

But the SIH might.

If you fail this time,

I won't wait around
for your method anymore.

MY PATH



Testing.

Everyone.

Please welcome
Chairman Kwon Jaekyu of Haesong Group.

-(crowd applauding)
-(lively music playing)

Hello, I'm Kwon Jaekyu.

If you don't know me,
please remain standing.

(crowd laughing)

I'd like to sincerely thank you all

for attending
our 80th-anniversary ceremony.

KWON: Please continue to watch us grow

and stay with us throughout this journey.

I should keep it short, right?

-(crowd chuckling)
-KWON: All right. I'll do that.

I've decided to step down.

This event is also my retirement ceremony.

Right. I have something to give you
before you all leave.

I'm embarrassed to say this.

But I have published my own memoir.

I will gift it to you all,
so please take one.

Of course, it'll be free of charge.

(crowd chuckling)

I have no regrets.

I did my best.

I hope the new leader of Haesong

won't have any regrets either
when he retires in the future.

Let me introduce my son.

President Kwon.

(crowd applauding)

Hello, I'm Kwon Hyunjo.

Today marks the beginning

for me.

(door opens)

Sir, we've got trouble.

(man panting)

MAN (on radio):
Emergency at the first-floor lobby.

I repeat,
emergency at the first-floor lobby.

Security is currently
restricting the area.

Requesting immediate action.

(tense music)

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS

Evacuate all workers
and control the media.

Yes, sir.

-(alarm blaring)
-(indistinct shouting)

(clamoring)

(alarm continues blaring)

We need to close up the building.

(door closes)

SEOHEE: It's a detonator.

I already pressed the button.
It'll explode once I let go.

They were going to send someone else
if I didn't go.

They could be watching us.

Hang in there.
We'll get this sorted out soon.

-Call the EOD.
-Yes, sir.

(tense music)

MAN: Target located
at the first-floor lobby of SIH.

Unable to identify whether
the target is a suspect or a victim.

Possible suicide bomber.

You risked your life to be righteous.

How tiring.

Jeez.

SUN: You're going to carry the bomb.

SEOHEE: I won't do it.

(clatters)

Then pick one.

Uh...

PERSONNEL CARD

SUN: I like this woman.

Her son and daughter-in-law
died in a car accident,

so she's taking care
of her young granddaughter.

She's lived a long life already.

I don't care.

They're not the ones
who'll carry the bombs.

The ones who'll do that...

(Sun giggles)

...are them.

(giggling continues)

-(clanking)
-(Sun grunting)

Why isn't it working?

(panting)

What do you say?

Did you have a change of heart?

(footsteps approaching)

Kim Seohee.

Fancy seeing you again.

(sighs)

We have such a long history
between us, don't you agree?

It all started 22 years ago.

(chuckles)

It's like a movie.

Why are you doing this to me?

Me? To you?

(chuckles)
What did I do?

That's a misunderstanding. How unfair.

This is all your doing.

You're the one who saw me 22 years ago.

You're the one who claimed
to be a witness to a case,

which I bashed in your mom's head
to keep buried.

You're the one

who killed her.

And you're the one

who killed...

your dad as well.

If you wanted to bomb the SIH,

then you could've just done so.

Ooh.

So why did you have to

pick me of all people?

You should atone for your sins

by wearing an explosive belt
and sacrificing yourself.

Who knows?

Maybe if you disarm it,

you'll kill everyone else but yourself

once again.

It'd be good for us if that happened.

The EOD will arrive soon.

Don't be scared. You must remain calm.

Team A didn't send me
simply to take revenge.

I have the detonator.

If this explodes,
I'll be taking the blame.

(gun cocks)

HAESONG GROUP
80TH-ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY

(classical music playing)

KWON: Hey.

Your son looks elated.

He's probably on cloud nine.

It was his dream to lead Haesong
ever since he could talk.

They've all surrounded the new sun.

Don't you feel hurt?

(chuckles)

That's life.

There's sunset and sunrise.

Mr. Ha.

Do you know why
I used a diamond to create the Adamas?

No, but I'm curious.

Is there a special reason for that?

I wanted to become someone
who'd never break

or be conquered.

Only fools challenge me.

And they end up getting crushed.

I'm sure.

Mm.

Ah. When will you reveal the Adamas--

-Wait--
-(loud pop)

(tense music)

WOOSIN:
The revealing time wasn't announced.

We need to come up with a sign.

Let's make a move
when the fireworks are lit.

(gun cocks)

WOOSIN: We must neutralize
the surveillance system.

(gunshot)

(drone crackling)

(sighs)

It has begun.

(fireworks crackle)

KWON: Let's be patient.

Ms. Kwon said she prepared a surprise.

The system is down?

I don't know what's going on, sir.

Damn it. We have guests here.

God damn it. Our security system is down.

-What should we do?
-MR. CHOI: Call the police.

Let them do their money's worth.

We can't call a repairman at this hour.

Those are all VIP guests.

If something happens to them,

we'll all get sacked.

What are you doing? Call them
and say we'll pay them handsomely!

Yes, sir.

(suspenseful music)

That's our cue. Let's go.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

(clinks)

We'll remove the bomb from the suspect
and disarm it somewhere safe.

We can't remove it.

POLICE: We need an oxygen
cutting machine, but it may create sparks.

We'll disarm it here.

Set up a situation room.
We'll evacuate 60m from here.

Yes, sir.

HYUKPIL: Evacuate 60m from here.

(crowd clamoring)

(tense music)

(clanks)

(indistinct chatter)

Given the size,
the explosive power will be immense.

The fragments will fly
and injure everyone.

They're probably...

get the snipers ready.

-Snipers?
-For the worst-case scenario.

They can't trust the suspect.

That's what they need to do
to prevent the worst.

By suspect, do you mean...

Ms. Kim. She has her hand
on the detonator.

In their eyes, she's a suicide bomber.

Is that why you duct taped her?

So she'd still be pressing it
even if she got shot?

We will take over from here.

She isn't a suicide bomber.
There's someone else.

That's a bigger problem then.

That means someone could control
the explosive remotely.

Anyone within a three-kilometer radius

is capable of doing that.

You should just hope
that she's a suicide bomber.

That means we'll be safe
as long as she's pressing it.

We will control this crime scene.

POLICE 1: Team Level Two has arrived.

Current location,
the SIH's first-floor lobby.

Keep an eye on the target.

If she acts suspiciously,
move onto level two immediately.

POLICE 2: Target on.

Be on standby. Shoot on command.

CHIEF: We don't know which cable
is connected to the detonator.

One explosion is all that's needed.

It's best to do it one by one
though it'll take some time.

We've disarmed one.

(Sun screams)

They got one.

(sirens wailing)

(clears throat)

SUHYEON: Where is Mr. Choi?

He's away due to a security issue.

I see.

Oh, well.

One minute.

Mr. Ha, should I escort you to him?

Sure. Thank you.

This way. The cart is ready.

WOOSIN: Draw attention

so they won't know that I'm gone.

I can do this.

I can.

(pensive music)

Congratulations.

Thank you, Father.

Do your best no matter the outcome.

I still lack in many ways.
I need your help.

Don't be ridiculous.
I won't get involved whatsoever.

Once I finish...

my last task.

Pardon?

(sneaky music)

(whispering)
What are you doing? Leave.

I just wanted to take a look.

(clatters)

DONGRIM: Gosh, that hurts.

That hurts.

(whispers)
Have you gone insane? Get up!

Okay.

Oh, God.

-DONGRIM: My knee.
-Get up!

Are you drunk? Get up!

DONGRIM: Okay.

What do I do?

MS. OH: Just leave. Don't touch anything.

The chairman is quite photogenic.

-DONGRIM: Okay.
-MS. OH: Don't touch anything.

Leave that there.

Just leave!

(Dongrim chuckles nervously)

Ms. Yoon.

Give me a glass of champagne.

HYESOO: Right now.

(door closes)

I'll take your phones.
You may not bring them inside.

(clatters)

AGENT PARK:
Let me tell you which areas you'll patrol.

-DONGRIM: Okay.
-MS. OH: Don't touch anything.

Leave that there.

-He's very photogenic.
-Just leave!

-Please leave.
-I think I should help you clean up.

(Dongrim grunts)

(chuckles)
I'll leave now.

Don't worry about me.
Please enjoy your time.

That was nerve-racking.

I did what he told me to,
so I probably did well, right?

I saw him leave.

He has a knack for worrying me.

My God! Mr. Ha.

What?

Long time no see.

Where's Woosin?

Prosecutor Song, wait!

(faint whistling)

(faint whistling)

(cheeky music)

(tense music)

(music stops)

Hey.

I suddenly craved cognac more.

Why are you here
when the event is still ongoing?

You sure weren't looking for me.

What are you doing there?

Are you sure that the light
only flicked once?

Yes, sir. He was supposed
to give us two flicks.

DONGRIM: Prosecutor Song.

Chairman Kwon?

SUHYEON: Hello.

Who is this?

I don't think you're Mr. Ha.

Sir, you see-

No, I'm not. I'm Song Suhyeon.

Song Suhyeon?

-What are you?
-You little...

Can't you see? We're twins.

(whirring)

LEE CHANGWOO CONFESSES.
WHERE IS THE MISSING MURDER WEAPON?

LEE CHANGWOO CONFESSES.
WHERE IS THE MISSING MURDER WEAPON?

(sighs)

HYUNJO: Don't tell me...

Do you know me?

(chuckles)
So you do.

-You little--
-KWON: Hyunjo.

Father, I'll take care of this outside
since there are guests here.

That's okay.

So you're Mr. Ha's twin brother?

What brings you here?

I received a tip-off.

-A tip-off.
-I heard you're revealing the Adamas,

and someone's out to steal it.

I came all the way here
to prevent that from happening.

Someone is going to steal the Adamas?

Who?

MY PATH

SUHYEON:
Don't worry. I can call the police.

Will you just stand still?
Drag him out of here.

SUHYEON: Don't worry.

We'll search the entire premises
once the police arrive.

You bastard. Enough with this nonsense!

Damn it. You're really pushing my buttons.

SUHYEON (whispers): People are watching.

I received the tip-off
from a credible source.

This invite.

My source

sent me this invite.

HAESONG GROUP
80TH-ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY

(microphone clacks)

Testing.

MS. KWON:
May I have your attention, please?

(camera shutters clicking)

This is the most important part
of this ceremony,

so please be quiet.

Finally, everyone is here.

Now,

we will reveal the Adamas.

(suspenseful music)

Everyone.

The Adamas

is a murder weapon.

(tense music)

Lee Changwoo, the heinous thief,
committed murder 22 years ago.

But he wasn't the killer.

That lunatic.

The real killer

is in this room with us.

(crowd gasping)

What's going on?

I don't know. Be quiet.

The killer is...

Chairman Kwon Jaekyu!

You murderer.

Have you gone insane? That's absurd!

You were aware of it as well.

From the very beginning!

MS. KWON: What do you say, master?

Do you like my little surprise?

I'm going to reveal everything.

Everything!

I'll expose your true, demonic face.

I will name

every single person you've killed!

Call the police!

Mr. Choi.

Yes, sir.

Call the police.

Tell them that we caught the thief...

who stole the Adamas.

(sighs)

(beeps)

What was that?

I'm not sure.

The sound came from somewhere.

SEOHEE: I think it's the front side.

A timer?

-Did you hand in everything?
-I did.

(Mr. Choi sighs)

Carry out a simple interrogation
and return this.

Theft isn't anything serious.

Right. It's only a formality.

TERRORIST BOMBING SUSPECTED
IN THE SIH BUILDING (KIM SEOHEE)

We need to get out of here too.

Ms. Kwon must know something
about our father's case.

You idiot. Why did you
barge in here recklessly?

I received this invite.

I naturally thought
Team A had sent it to me.

They were probably trying to lure me.

Or they must've known
that the SIH was coming.

Elaborate. Why would Team A
send you that invite?

Ms. Kim Seohee was kidnapped.

In front of my eyes.

It was Team A's doing,
and it happened three days ago.

I thought I'd find a clue here.

You see,

she lost her parents
while trying to reveal the truth

about our father's case.

I can't let her die.

OFFICER: Prosecutor Song.

You stepped over the line today.

Don't meddle in our affairs ever again.

SUHYEON: I couldn't care less.

I won't let the SIH fool me ever again.

OFFICER: We found Ms. Kim.

They made a move.

Where is she?

POLICE: We've removed it.

There was a timer hidden inside.

It was a time bomb.

CHIEF: What do you mean?
What about that detonator?

POLICE:
It's either fake or a dual controller.

If it's neither of them,

then maybe...

It may not even be connected to this bomb.

We're still not completely safe,
but we deactivated the timer.

-We just need to remove the remaining--
-Mr. Kang.

If this is a time bomb,
then what's in my hand?

Probably a dual controller.

Our enemies want the snipers

to kill you for being a suicide bomber.

All this fuss just to kill me?

That can't be.

(tense music fades)

Hey!

Do you think this is a joke?

Couldn't have kept
your mouth shut, could you?

I'm sorry.

Give me the remote control.

I don't have it.

You don't?

You don't?

-You crazy, little--
-Sir!

Let me go.

-Let go.
-Sir.

Let him go. Let's see what he'll do.

00:48:19.02

You little bastard.
You're her dog, aren't you?

Damn it.

(clinks)

SUN: Mr. Jeong.

Seohee is holding the remote control.

What are you doing?

Team A sent a bomb to the SIH.

A group that worked under the radar

wouldn't go this far just to kill me.

There are snipers out there.
You'll get killed.

This is a trap.

The target is removing the duct tape.

Kill her.

(tape crackles)

Block the view.

SNIPER: I can't see the target.

Send them into the building.
We're going in.

Ms. Kim! Stop that!

-Step back.
-Stop!

-Step back!
-Are you going to kill everyone here?

Give me a minute.
If this isn't a detonator then--

-We'll fire.
-Put down your weapons!

Look. Look at this!

Ms. Kim.

I'll slowly open my hand.

(breathing heavily)

It's a remote control.

This means there's a bomb elsewhere.

The moment she thinks
it's been disarmed and lets go...

Boom.

(scoffs)

What a lunatic.

Search the building.

-Go.
-POLICE: Yes, sir.

The police confiscated
the Adamas as evidence of theft.

(scoffs)

And you just watched?

I'm sorry, sir.

MR. CHOI: The police were
officially dispatched here.

Are you serious, you bastard?

He's reporting

to me.

I'm sorry.

MR. CHOI: Sir, you don't need to worry.

Since it was related to theft

and not what Ms. Kwon had mentioned,

they'll return it soon.

I'll go to the station
and see what's going on.

Okay. You may go.

-(door closes)
-Father, we must hurry.

HYUNJO:
Song Suhyeon and that writer were a team.

They're Song Soonho's sons.

Hyesoo.

Yes, sir.

Give me a cup of tea.

Sure.

MS. KWON: Lee Changwoo, the heinous thief,
committed murder 22 years ago.

The killer is...

Chairman Kwon Jaekyu!

HYUNJO: What'll you do?

Those bastards
must've won Ms. Kwon over too.

Father, there's a reason why
that writer came to our house.

KWON: Probably.

He's Song Soonho's son, after all.

He must be aware of Lee Changwoo's case.

He's looking for his father's murderer.

Damn it!

Things went awry
since there were people watching.

It's going to be impossible
to keep this on the down-low.

Once they start talking about you--

What do the rumors say about me?

-Pardon?
-Do you also think I committed murder?

No, of course not.

If that's the case,

why did Ms. Kwon say such a thing?

She said you had known all along.

That was because...

YOUNG MINJO: Do I have to go in there?

YOUNG HYUNJO: It's hide-and-seek.

You win if you stay there
until tomorrow morning.

But I'm scared.

Are you a coward?
I said I'd grant you your wish if you won.

Really? So I'll be able
to treat you like a brother if I win?

Sure.

Okay, I'll do it.

KWON:
Well done. You're pretty good at your job.

I was in a pickle since we'd be
revealing it tomorrow afternoon.

Sir, here's the Adamas.

I got it back.

You got rid of him, right?

-Lee Changwoo.
-(gasps)

KWON: Minjo told me that he saw it
when he was young.

But he never mentioned you.

He left out the part
where you bullied him.

Don't get yourself involved.

-But Father--
-Don't.

Don't do anything.

EOD

We're searching for the second time.

We couldn't find anything
on our first try.

Prosecutor Song.

What's going on? An explosive?

How's the situation?

We've removed the detonator,
but we're looking for another explosive.

Another one?

Ms. Kim was pressing on a remote control,
not a detonator.

We're still searching the building.

-Where is she?
-HYUKPIL: Hold on.

I've disarmed them all.

Thank you.

POLICE: I just need to remove the vest--

TEAM LEADER LEE: Who knows?

Maybe if you disarm it,

you'll kill everyone else but yourself

once again.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.

It's Prosecutor Song.

Prosecutor Song?

It's me.

I'm sorry that I lost you.

SUHYEON: I really am.

I'm okay.

How are you?

I'm okay too.

(sighs)
I'm truly relieved.

Mr. Kang just briefed me.

Don't worry. I'm on my way.
Hang in there a bit longer.

That's not a problem.

But we need to locate the bomb.

I can't allow any more casualties.

Maybe if you disarm it,
"you'll kill everyone else

but yourself once again."

-What do you mean?
-That's what he said.

He said I'd live if I disarmed this.

-Who said that?
-Mr. Lee of Team A.

If that means I won't die

even if I let go of this...

You'll be unscathed from the explosion?

This isn't it.

The SIH isn't their target.

If that's what it means,
this is more serious than we thought.

The search needs to be wider.

The maximum range for remote control
is five kilometers. It's too wide.

SEOHEE:
But why? There must be a motive for this.

Motive.

Bombings are usually done
to terrorize the public.

They'd want to maximize
the propaganda effect.

Then it should be at a public--

A massacre.

It's almost 11 p.m. Search downtown.

Search within a five-kilometer radius.

CHIEF:
List up all potentially crowded places.

POLICE: Yes, sir.

Ms. Kim. I'm almost there, so wait for me.

SEOHEE: No, don't come.

I'm really fine, so don't come near here
until they find the bomb.

Are you seriously worried about me?

(loud sigh)

Prosecutor Song.

CANDIDATE HWANG FOCUSES
HIS LAST CAMPAIGN IN SEOUL

He told me not to do anything.

Nothing?

After Minjo died,
I have always been the heir.

And today, I officially became chairman.

But he still doesn't have trust in me.

He doesn't want to let go of what he has.

That just means

that you don't need to do anything.

You know how he is.

I know.

I have something to tell you.

I think your wife has been in touch

with Mr. Jeong.

Hyesoo?

Here's your tea.

Good night.

Hyesoo.

Yes, sir?

Why aren't you asking about today?

As if you already knew.

Well, all I do is plant flowers

and paint.

I have no say in such matters.

Should I spare or kill her?

-Pardon?
-Ms. Kwon.

What would you do?

You should silence her.

Forever.

However,

I think you should keep her alive for now.

Why?

If I were you, I'd be curious.

About why she did that.

Getting stabbed in the back
like a sitting duck

is too humiliating.

I will never forgive you. Ever.

DONGRIM: We need to leave this instant.

What's taking him so long?

INTERROGATION ROOM

That room.

(door closes)

Here to watch?

Laugh all you want.

Ms. Kwon.

I have a question.

What? Are you curious since I know
everything about your father's case?

You want me to tell you, don't you?

Are you here to implore?

-No.
-No?

Then why did you come running here?

Since when did you know

that I was stealing the Adamas?

What do you mean?

The news article.

LEE CHANGWOO CONFESSES.
WHERE IS THE MISSING MURDER WEAPON?

Ms. Kwon.

KWON: So you'd spare Ms. Kwon.

Next?

-Next?
-Mr. Ha.

Should I kill him?

-I would--
-Kill him?

INTERROGATION ROOM

It wasn't her.

EVIDENCE ROOM

EVIDENCE NUMBER A-2204
HANSOL PLAYGROUND

You actually came here.

Who...

are you?

(chuckles)

But you won't kill him.

-I won't?
-The fact that he left this mansion means

that you allowed it.

There must be a reason why you let him go.

I'm sure you have a plan.

EVIDENCE TRANSFER RECORD

This is the reason why
Chairman Kwon hasn't killed you.

Go bring the real Adamas.

Your father knows where it is. Got that?

I'm going to hand over my company
to my son soon.

I'll give him the Adamas as well.

So I'd like you to recraft it
into a new design.

Sir.

Please forgive me for saying this.

But this is fake.

You're wrong. When it was first crafted,

I wanted it to have a crude design.

So I didn't add any detailed cuts.
That's why it looks dull.

No, sir.
I can bet my entire career on this.

You were fooled.

Fooled.

Yes, this is definitely fake.

I was fooled?

Who in the world did something like this?

(gun cocks)

(grunts)

(groaning)

-(gunshot)
-(grunts)

(gunshot)

(light music)

KWON: The Adamas

is already broken.

The murder weapon doesn't exist anymore.

HYEOSOO: He managed to silence

all those people.

MAN: Mr. Ha is here.

MR. CHOI: Are you crazy? How could you
meet the chairman in this situation?

HYESOO: Shouldn't you be busy right now?

Ms. Kwon seemed to know something.

Ask me anything. I'll tell you everything.

KWON: So you planned it all
from the start.

WOOSIN: All to find the real Adamas.
