The Flower of Evil (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - I Know You - full transcript

(Summer of 2005)

What is it?

Catch him! Go catch him!

(Flower of Evil)

Why did you do that?

Did you have to live that way?

I bet you had no choice.
That's what it was, right?

All I want from you is just one thing.

A reason to forgive you.

What's the matter?

I had a dream.



What kind of dream?

It was just a dream.

Why did you get up so early?

You slept in.

What time is it?

It's 8:55am.

What?

- I need to take Eun Ha to kinder...
- I'll take her.

But what's gotten into you?
You never sleep in like this.

Ever since I came home, I'm always sleepy.

I guess it's because I feel relaxed now.

A lot happened.

It feels like nothing happened...

because nothing's changed.



By the way, I have something to give you.

I forgot to give it to you yesterday.

Here's a gift to congratulate
your hospital discharge.

What is it?

We couldn't find your watch.

I asked Forensics,
but they couldn't find it either.

It's not as good as the one you had before,

but I hope you like it.

I love it.

Don't lose this.

Now, here's a little change.

(Episode 7)

Wait. Drink this before you go.

There. Here you go.

- Eun Ha, you should sit down. - Okay.

- Is it yummy? - Yes, it's yummy.

By the way,
the lock to the basement in my workshop...

is broken.

I broke it.

Didn't I tell you?

No, you didn't.

You know my friend, Sun Mi, right?

She was trying to find a baby walker.

And I remembered that
Eun Ha used to have one.

But you were at the hospital,

and I couldn't find the key.

Wasn't the basement dirty?

It was spotlessly clean.

- Eun Ha, did you finish your drink? - Yes.

Let's go.

I'll see you later.

- See you later, Eun Ha. - Okay.

I'd like my husband's family register.

Just one copy?

I got a tip-off saying
there was an accomplice...

for the Yeonju City serial murder case.

And today, I'm going to let you hear...

the voice of the accomplice.

- My gosh. - My goodness.

We got 1.5 million
views in less than a day.

There are over 2,000 articles
related to this issue already.

My goodness.

Gosh, what did I tell
you? I told you it'd be huge.

Gosh, the day just started,
but my phone is burning already.

Hello?

Hello, this is Kim Moo Jin.

Oh, yes. Thank you.

(Family Register, Baek Hee Seong)

(Father: Baek Man Woo, Mother: Gong Mi Ja)

Do Hyun Su lived as Baek
Hee Seong for at least 14 years.

And Baek Hee Seong's parents
actively cooperated with him.

But why?

My gosh, is this the voice of Do Min Seok,
the serial killer?

No, it's the voice of his accomplice.

His accomplice?

There was an accomplice?

Yes, but no one knew there
was an accomplice until now.

Isn't it so creepy?

Let's hear it again.

(Reporter Kim Moo Jin Reveals
the Voice of the Accomplice...)

(Who Took Part in the
Serial Murders in Yeonju City)

Lady. Don't stick your nose
in where it doesn't belong.

You're not the only one who saw me.

I saw you too.

You drive a red compact car.

(2:30am, May 12, 2002)

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

It was totally my fault.

I heard the witness doesn't
remember the culprit's face.

It was very late at night.

And his face was covered with his hat,

so it was hard to see what he looked like.

I think I scratched your car a little.

But I'd really appreciate
it if you agreed to settle.

The witness was driving
under the influence,

so she didn't want to call
the insurance company.

And because of the accident,

the culprit asked the
witness for her number.

(Jang Young Hee)

"Honey, why did you drink so much?"

That's what the culprit said...

as he took her back to his car.

And that woman was Jung Mi Sook, right?

Yes, that's right.

(Gyeonggi 58, Ga3194)

After that, the witness goes
to the nearby police station...

and files a report.

The police checked the
license plate number...

and investigated Do Min Seok.

And that's when they
checked Do Min Seok's alibi.

That's where Do Hyun Su,
his son, comes into the picture.

He stated he was
watching a late-night movie...

with his father at the
time of the incident.

And he handed in two
movie tickets as evidence.

On the other hand,
the witness' statement lost credibility...

due to the fact that
she was drunk that night.

And funnily enough, the police report...

eventually led to the witness
getting her license revoked.

But in just two weeks,

- something unexpected happens.
- Yes, that's right.

Do Min Seok unexpectedly commits suicide.

And during the investigation,

the police find the victims'
thumbnails and belongings...

including Jung Mi Sook's
inside Do Min Seok's workshop.

And just like that,

the Yeonju City serial murder
case became a closed case...

as soon as it got exposed to the world.

And right after that,
Do Hyun Su ran away...

after having murdered the village foreman.

What if the police took
into consideration...

that Do Hyun Su could've
been Do Min Seok's accomplice...

when Jung Mi Sook got kidnapped?

And what's even more disappointing is...

that the police didn't do much
until Do Hyun Su became...

the suspect of a murder case.

Only then, did the police
keep going to see the witness.

However, by then...

She was being threatened by the accomplice.

That's correct.

The witness retracted
all of her statements.

The police were in a pickle.

Rather than admit negligence
during the investigation,

they choose to bury it.

Let's listen to the culprit's
voice one more time.

Please listen carefully.

Lady.

Don't stick your nose in
where it doesn't belong.

You're not the only one who saw me.

I saw you too.

You drive a red compact car,

and I also know where you live and work.

You have kids. You should be more careful.

Do you know...

about the Gakyeongri
village foreman murder?

Do you know why he died?

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old
man didn't know his place.

It's obvious. The son
was the accomplice. Right?

Okay, we'll stop here. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I changed the lock.

I'd like to leave it unlocked,
but I was worried because of Eun Ha.

The stairs are too steep.

Kim Moo Jin released an exclusive.

The case was closed due
to a lack of authority to indict.

Immediately thereafter, Do Hyun Su...

murders the village foreman
and flees in the dark of night.

If the police had investigated him
when Jung Mi Sook was abducted...

Kim Moo Jin is successful.

He's even on TV.

They say the Yeonju City
serial killer had an accomplice.

Did you hear the voice?

The people are going crazy online.

The accomplice's voice?

Want to hear it?

No. It would only make me squeamish.

May I change the channel?

- Sweetie. - Yes?

What are you doing tomorrow?

It's always the same old for me.

Then make time for me in the afternoon.

Why? To go on a date?

Something like that.

That's good for me.

I'm going to bed.

Okay.

Lady.

Don't stick your nose in
where it doesn't belong.

You're not the only one who saw me.

I saw you too.

Kim Moo Jin!

I love you!

Kim Moo Jin!

Kim Moo Jin!

The real, real, real, real, real thing

You're the real thing

The real thing is here The real thing

The real, real, real, real, real thing

You're the real thing

I'll love you for real

I'll love you, love you,
love you, love you, love you

I'll love you for real

Kim Moo Jin!

Kim Moo Jin!

Kim Moo Jin!

Attention! Everyone.

I have an important announcement.

The number of Kim Moo Jin's
followers on social media...

broke 200,000!

- You did great! - 200,000!

- 200,000! - Stop!

Hold on!

Hold on.

What? Why? What?

You implied Do Hyun Su was
the accomplice on the news.

It's a reasonable suspicion. What about it?

Switch angles.

If Do Hyun Su's and the
witness' statements are all true,

there may be a third party...

Who are you to order me around?

I'm not your servant, punk!

Stop telling me what to do!

Get it together and listen to me.

I listened to the accomplice's
voice over and over,

and something bothers me.

No. You listen to me.

You listen to me.

Go ahead.

From now on, this case isn't your life,

it's my life.

I'll help you.

Don't make me laugh.

You know, you are the prime suspect.

Hey, Moo Jin.

You have to believe me.

Why? Because you know my weakness?

Or what? Will you lock
me up in the basement...

and threaten me again?

Hey. Do as you wish.

Let's fight head-on.

Let's see who dies first.

I can't trust you.

(Gangsu Police Station)

As anyone who knows, knows,

HQ was already reinvestigating
because of Park Kyung Choon.

They'll probably rush more because
of that recording from yesterday.

Which team should take it?

Teams 1 and 2 are swamped right
now with the voice phishing case...

and the arson case.

Woo Chul. What are you
guys working on right now?

These are the photos from the
lettuce theft in Bangjung-dong.

And these are photos from
this week's pepper theif.

Given the similarities,
it looks like the same thief...

is responsible.

Chief.

Hello, Chief.

Why you...

We have to solve the lettuce theft case.

It has been two weeks already.

Ho Joon.

- Do you know what I think? - Yes?

Seriously,
I don't care one bit. What do I do?

What?

- Yes. - What?

Did something come to you?

How about a lettuce wrap for lunch?

I'm getting hungry. Ji Won,
what do you say to lettuce...

Where did she go?

(Counseling Room)

This is the Counseling Center. I
found the material you requested.

(Patient: Do Hyun Su,
Notes: Depressed and aggressive)

Hyun Su.

Did you really throw the neighbor's dog...

into the well?

Yes.

What do you think "credibility" means?

Credibility is keeping promises.

Even if that promise seems
inefficient and irrational,

you keep it.

That's credibility.

I thought you'd be pleased that I
took care of Park Kyung Choon...

without killing him.

However,

you're angry with me.

That's...

a different matter.

Lady.

Don't stick your nose in
where it doesn't belong.

You're not the only one who saw me.

I saw you too.

You drive a red compact car,

and I also know where you live and work.

Is this you?

Tell me. Is it you?

- No. - That's too bad...

because I don't believe you.

This is the consequence you
face for not keeping your promise.

How am I supposed to trust you?

I don't trust you.

Hyun Su.

I want to trust you, you know.

I honestly thought you'd be pleased...

by the fact that I didn't kill him.

With that in mind,

I'd like for us to make another promise.

If it comes close to your identity...

being exposed again,

you will leave.

Go where no one can find you.

For everybody's sake.

If you do that,

I'll take care of your
wife and daughter forever.

This is to avoid the
worst possible outcome.

I'm sure you're aware of what that is.

I hear you.

Good.

I'm putting my trust in you.

Moo Jin, get up.

This isn't the time for a nap!

Get lost, will you? I earned this darn nap.

Are you kidding me?

You're being asked for again.

She won't do the interview
unless it's with you.

Who on earth is it this time?

Unbelievable.

Look. Over there.

It's Do Hae Su!

Could we have been struck by any more luck?

What is it?

How do I seem to you right now?

You look awful.

Ms. Kang, I'm sorry to ask,

but can you buy me a
dress shirt and wet wipes?

What are you saying?

Unbelievable.

It's just that Hae Su and I were...

You know.

What do you mean?

- She's... - Yes?

She's my first love.

Really?

I can't let her see me like this.

How long has it been
since you last saw her?

17 years.

My gosh, this is worse than awful.

Just hideous.

Save a man, Ms. Kang.

It's all right. You can tell me.

Who I wanted to eliminate was Kim,
the dog's owner.

He's nasty and rude.

But I couldn't kill a person.

The body is harder to get rid of.

Hyun Su.

Take a look at this drawing.

How do you think this child feels?

Why do you think he's crying?

I don't know.

- How old was he back then? - 13.

Is it safe to say...

that Do Hyun Su...

was born with antisocial
personality disorder?

Would you like to see this recording too?

Go ahead and draw.

Do you see the cassette player?

Yes.

- Hyun Su! - Let go!

Please calm down.

Doctor!

- Hyun Su... - Let go!

He's usually quiet and keeps to himself,

but becomes manic whenever
that cassette player is involved.

Why is he so attached to it?

No one knows.

Not even his family.

Ji Won.

The stolen lettuce...

- was found in the trash. - Ho Joon, later.

But...

Chief, why do you think the
thief tossed the lettuce he stole?

There will soon be a meeting...

to discuss the reinvestigation of
the Yeonju City serial murder case.

- And it'll take place here?
- So maybe later.

But...

So no one has the time for me?

Jeez.

- This is Cha Ji Won. - Hello, Detective.

When you handed me Do Hyun Su's bag...

I can't hear you clearly.

When you handed me the bag,

you said that your husband thought...

that Do Hyun Su would come back for it.

Why?

The cassette player in the bag...

is something Do Hyun Su obsessed over.

You're breaking up, and I can't hear you.

I'm here at the temple
for my late husband's...

- spiritual ritual. - Hello?

Ms. Lee?

Have you been living
in Seoul this whole time?

It's weird how we never crossed paths.

It's a city with 10 million residents.

Right.

Seoul is a metropolis
even by global standards.

I'm proud of that.

Anyway, it looks like you've changed a lot.

- Really? - Yes.

In the past,
you were always surrounded by friends,

and you laughed at even the smallest stuff.

You were like...

a really popular idol star.

I couldn't keep living
like a popular idol star...

after I found out my
dad killed seven people.

Right.

I know what you mean.

By the way, how's your job?

I heard you're a prosthetic makeup artist.

I don't know much about it,
but it seems really fun.

I got fired.

I see.

Moo Jin, I think we should go.

You want to leave already? Are you busy?

No, it's not that.

Do you see the guy who's reading behind me?

Don't make it obvious
that we're talking about him.

Yes, I see him. Who is he?

He's a reporter, and he thinks I'm
helping Hyun Su hide somewhere.

I keep running into him these days.

Is he stalking you?

I don't want to cause a scene...

and give him something
to write about. Let's leave.

We can't just let him
keep following you around.

I want to be with you in private.

It's about something important.

You want to be with me in private?

Anyway, lady,

did you hear of the Gakyeongri
Village Foreman Murder?

Do you know why he died?

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old
man didn't know his place.

Do you know why he died?

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old man...

Do you know why he died?

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old
man didn't know his place.

By any chance, do you remember this?

This...

It used to belong to Do Hyun Su.

Yes, that's right.

I heard he was very obsessed with it.

There's a recorded tape inside.

Do you know what it's about?

Hyun Su.

What are you doing here?
Come and have a drink.

What are you always listening to?

Let me hear what it is.

Hey, let me go!

You let go first.

Hey.

Gosh, you crazy punk.

If you ever touch this again,
I'll really break your arm.

I wanted to fire him,

but he worked so well for just 300 dollars.

Anyway, every time he was
listening to this tape player,

he had this strange look in his eyes...

as if he was possessed or something.

He becomes manic whenever
that cassette player is involved.

Sir.

I came to ask you for a favor.

Welcome...

Eun Ha,
promise me that you'll be a good girl.

Okay.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm busy with something.
Take care of Eun Ha for me.

- No. - Make sure she eats dinner.

I'll come for her at 8pm.

Bye then.

I appreciate your help with
babysitting our granddaughter.

Hey, wait.

My goodness, what a rude...

What does she want me to do?

Grandma told me that
you're naturally drawn...

to your family...

and that you'll eventually
get drawn to me too.

- What? - I'll be studying.

You can focus on work.

(Elementary School Mathematics Grade 3,
2nd Semester)

What is this?

This isn't for you. You're
way too ahead of your grade.

But I can do it.

Did your mother make you study this?

Does she punish you if
you don't? Does she hit you?

No, I just do it because I can.

Don't do this.

This makes you go crazy.

It'll kill you and your mother.

Grandma, you're scaring me.

I want to go home.

Don't cry. I'm doing this for you.

Please stop crying.

What do you want? What do I need to do?

I... I want... I want a tart.

What?

Buy me an egg tart.

Do you know why he died?

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old
man didn't know his place.

Do you know why he died?

(The culprit's voice at
the time of the incident)

Because he got nosy.

That good-for-nothing old
man didn't know his place.

Hey, you're here.

Sit down. I need to talk to you.

Sit down.

Okay.

What's this bag?

It's Do Hyun Su's bag.

Nam Soon Kil kept it
with him before he died.

I got lucky. It fell into my hands.

What does that have
anything to do with you?

I'm going to try and catch Do Hyun Su.

All by yourself?

Yes,
it doesn't fall under our jurisdiction.

How are you going to catch
him with nothing but a bag?

That's why I need your help.

Take a look.

I can be like you too.

I can lie to you without even blinking.

I think Do Hyun Su might
still be doing metalwork.

Back when he worked
at the Chinese restaurant,

he told the owner that he's going to
save up and open his own workshop.

He sometimes even made stuff
so he wouldn't lose his touch.

Even people who didn't know
much could easily tell he had talent.

If you ask the association for help,

we might be able to
find a list of people...

who tend to make the same kind of designs.

That won't be possible.

I need to see his actual work.
It's hard to know his style...

just by looking at sketches.

I can't tell if he makes big
things or small accessories.

It's hard to know his habits.

And I don't even know
what kind of material he uses.

So I've been thinking.

Can you come with me to
Do Min Seok's workshop?

What?

They said Do Hyun Su stayed
cooped up in the workshop often.

He skipped school often too.

From what I saw on the news,

there were handicrafts
all over the workshop.

You set aside time this afternoon, right?

I did.

Go with me. It can double as a date.

Sure.

I'll get the car. Come
out when you're ready.

Eat quickly. I have to
get back to the pharmacy.

Okay.

No. Eat slowly. You'll get sick.

Okay.

When I ripped up your workbook earlier...

I won't tell.

I don't want Daddy to yell at you.

Who yells at whom?

Why are you working so hard?

What?

Do Hyun Su.

Everyone's talking about it.

They say he's the Yeonju
City serial killer's accomplice.

I'll get a special
promotion if I catch him,

and my career on the
force will be set for life.

I'm surprised. I didn't think
you had ambitions like that.

Who doesn't have ambitions?

I have to grab the opportunity while I can.

Come in.

You can wear these.

Come in.

My apartment was the
only place I could think of...

where we could talk alone.

Okay. It's fine.

Why don't you sit here? Here.

Make yourself comfortable.

You must be hungry.

- It's almost dinner time.
- I'm not hungry.

I won't take long.

How do you feel about pasta?

- Moo Jin, I'm not hungry...
- I got this wine as a gift.

My uncle has a big winery...

in Argentina.

So he sends me wine every so often.

Argentinian wines...

have a subtle bitterness...

and sweetness.

You're doing well.

- I'm glad. - I should buy my uncle dinner.

Here, drink this.

Okay, thanks.

I'll cook quickly.

Should I play some music?

To be honest,

every once in a while...

No, I thought about you often.

So... So... I think
you're the biggest victim.

Because of your father and Hyun Su, you...

You're a very normal person.

I have no prejudice toward you.

I didn't mean what I said a
long time ago when we broke up.

That isn't Hyun Su's voice.

- What? - That accomplice's voice.

It isn't Hyun Su's.

Do you still want to protect him?

Do you think he'd be grateful to you?

No.

Your brother doesn't
care one iota about you,

and is living a good life.

Hyun Su couldn't have said that.

Said what?

Because...

I killed him.

What?

The person who really killed
the Gakyeongri village foreman...

was me.

I feel like once I go in there,

I'll never come out.

Hurry up. Come on.

Seriously. Stand here.

Once you get this tall,
I'll find Mom for you.

Look.

How will you grow to be this tall?

You have to eat well, right?

If you don't eat because Mom's gone,
will you or will you not grow?

You won't, right?

Do you understand?

Hae Su, why are you getting angry at me?

I'm not angry, I'm worried.

Hyun Su.

(Gakyeongri)

Whatever Dad says, just respond, "Okay."

Or he'll make you copy...

the "Myeongsim Bogam" in the basement.

Got it?

Let's go.

Aren't you coming?

Right.

It's locked. We can't enter...

This way.

Could Do Hyun Su have made this?

Is this enough to learn
about his aesthetic?

It's amateur-hour.

It seems exquisite to me.

This is wax carving.

It wasn't the metal that was engraved.

A template was made with soft wax...

to make a plaster mold for the item.

Do you see these fine lines here?

They're from a file.

And here,
you can see that it's asymmetrical.

This is because the maker
can't use a file properly.

He tried to show off a little though.

You know what? This must
be what distinguishes him.

His lousy work with a file.

These aren't merchantable.

He was young back then.

His work could've gotten better.

Well...

No one can know that, right?

This is too bad.

We came all the way here for nothing.

Actually,
where I wish to go is someplace else.

The crime scene.

The basement.

What for?

If it's too much for you,
wait for me in the car.

I'll take a look on my own.

It's okay.

Let's go.

It's the stench of blood.

The smell stays unless the blood
is cleaned with hydrogen peroxide.

How does this voice sound to you?

To me, it sounds sad.

It almost sounds like she's in tears.

What's this?

It was in Do Hyun Su's bag.

Why are you playing it though?

Because it's what triggers Do Hyun Su.

The usually calm and quiet Do Hyun Su...

would get violent and
have manic episodes...

whenever he heard this tape.

But how he came into possession of it...

or what this humming is
about is a mystery to everyone.

It was recorded though at the place...

where the unthinkable happened.

My guess is that this is the place.

Really?

When Do Min Seok began his killings...

still baffles me.

You never know.

He could've made his young son...

deliver food and water to
his prisoners down here.

I'd like to leave, Ji Won.

While listening to this voice,

Do Hyun Su would've relived what he did...

as if it happened yesterday.

It would've been a sweet moment for him.

That's why he lost it
whenever he was interrupted.

I want to leave.

That's odd. He should be here by now.

Is someone meeting us here?

Yes.

The owner of the Chinese
restaurant Do Hyun Su worked at.

He still had a few of the
artwork that Do Hyun Su made...

and offered to bring them here.

I'd like you to take a look at them.

Do Hyun Su made them three
years after making that one upstairs,

so they'll be closer
to his current artwork.

That must be him.

Are you here?

Detective Cha,

I'll be there in about five
minutes. I'm almost there.

Near the entrance, you'll see my car.

Okay.

Do Hyun Su, show your real self.

Make your choice.

What you choose today
will determine our future.

What's wrong? What is it?

I... I can't...

I can't breathe.

Let's get out of here.

- Please. - Let's go.

Let's go to a hospital.

No, it's okay. Let's just go home.

I think it was because of the smell.

It was sickening,
but I tried to cope with it.

Was I too hard on him?

No, he lied to me for 14 years.

I can't let myself get weak.

By the way,

weren't you supposed to meet someone?

(The late Nam Soon Kil)

Sir.

What brings you here?

I came to pray for Soon Kil.

What about Detective Cha?

Why are you looking for her here?

What? We were supposed to meet here.

Sir, my husband suddenly fell ill.

So I'm on my way back to Seoul.

My goodness, I hope he's okay.

I'm driving right now. I'll
call you back a little later.

Ji Won, don't do it.

Don't do what?

Don't look for Do Hyun Su.

Why?

I don't want you looking for him.

You told me he might be a serial killer.

It's dangerous.

That's why I want to catch him.

I can't let someone that dangerous
roam around and live freely.

If...

it comes close to your
identity being exposed again,

you will leave.

Go where no one can find you.

For everybody's sake.

I know you were really hurt.

You admired my family.

You had a lot of respect for my dad.

You were Hyun Su's only friend at school.

And you were...

the only person who liked
me with no strings attached.

That's enough.

You were only 18,
so I'm sure you were confused and hurt.

But no one cared about you.

No one apologized to you.

I know it's too late,
but I'd like to apologize.

I'm sorry.

But...

you shouldn't be angry at Hyun Su.

He did nothing wrong. I did it.

I killed him.

Isn't this an exclusive?

- What? - So...

please do me a favor...

and stop harassing Hyun Su, you jerk.

Who is it?

Hey.

What are you doing here at this hour?

You told me not to call. That's why I came.

Ji Won is driving me crazy.

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Help me find my sister. I need to meet her.

Your sister? Do Hae Su?

I'm sorry about before.

I'm sorry I used your
weakness to threaten you.

Why are you being
like this all of a sudden?

Does this settle things between us? Now,
it's time for you to help me.

You little...

I need...

to find that jerk no matter what.

This doesn't come with a tracking device,

but I inserted it.

As for the tracking application,
you just need to download it.

I hope you like it.

I love it.

(Flower of Evil)

The victims all disappeared,

- but no one looked for them.
- Except for Jung Mi Sook.

Do Min Seok lent his car,
and the accomplice met up with her.

Jung Mi Sook packed up and left
after she fought with her husband.

But why did Park Kyung Choon
report to the cops that she went missing?

I was approached on purpose.

I know for a fact that we'll be
able to find the accomplice here.

You're very enthusiastic about this.

I really want to solve this case.

Let's pretend to be clueless
and say goodbye to each other...

as Baek Hee Seong and Cha Ji Won.
