The court finds Do-hyeok Cha, the culprit of the Iltan Serial Rape and Murder Case

and the defendant in the 2011 Soon-jung Kim Murder Case,

guilty of the crimes

and sentences him the maximum penalty...

Your honor!

FINAL EPISODE

I'm sorry, please forgive me just this once.

I want to live. Please don't kill me, your honor!

I'm begging you, I want to live.

Please, let me live. Just this once.

Sir, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I want to live.

I want to live, your honor!

I'm sorry.

I am really sorry for what I've done. It's all my fault.

Please let me live.

Just this once, just let me live.

Just this one time. I'm sorry.

This is your favorite chicken stew, Moo-yeom!

-Go ahead. Try it. -It looks good.

Did you see that?

Your son

did an amazing job catching Gab-dong.

Dad,

I'm so sorry.

And...

I love you.

-What's wrong with you? -If it wasn't for you,

who knows what would've happened to me.

What's the point of receiving capital punishment?

No one has been executed since 1997.

both Kyung-cheol Yoo and Ho-jun Kang are doing fine behind the bars.

Don't you think being sentenced to life without parole is worse

than being sentenced to death?

Why doesn't our country have that?

The court sentences the second defendant

of the Iltan Serial Rape and Murder Case, Tae-oh Ryu,

to ten years of therapeutic detention.

After sentencing capital punishment to Mr Cha, commonly known as Gab-dong,

the court held trial for his copycat, Ryu, today.

The court found the correlation between Ryu's criminal behavior

and his unstable mental state

and sentenced him to ten years in prison.

Mr. Ryu had already given up his Korean citizenship

in accordance with the revised Nationality Act.

Therefore, he needs to be treated as a foreigner.

Since when did he become a foreigner?

If you were not to recognize the loss of nationality,

you should be on solid ground in terms of his military duty.

But isn't he already exempted from the duty?

What about the public opinion?

Between regular imprisonment and therapeutic detention,

it was leaning towards the former

but according to statistics today,

most are voting for his deportation.

People are saying that this country is not responsible for all the cost

associated with Mr. Ryu's trial and treatment.

How about this?

Tae-oh Ryu

will never be allowed

to step his foot on this land.

So you are saying we won't allow his reentry

after deportation.

Tae-oh Ryu.

Here.

So you met her before Christmas in 1993?

Yes.

She came for an annual confession but left without saying a word.

There was someone she needed to see before asking for forgiveness.

Yes.

Ji-wool has something to tell us about Do-hyeok Cha.

Thud

Only if he didn't

-touch you. -Be quiet.

-Don't even mention it. -If we turn ourselves in,

what do you think would happen to us?

We just got rid of garbage.

Garbage that no one else will get rid of for us.

We just did it ourselves.

What would happen to us? We just got rid of garbage!

Did you hear this from Do-hyeok Cha?

Do you think that was his own story?

-When did he tell you? -Before he turned out to be Gab-dong.

When he was just our neighbor.

What is it?

I haven't been sleeping much so my eyes are dry.

-Why can't you sleep? -Because of the detective in my webcomics.

I need to figure out why he became a killer.

But it's hard.

Don't you have any interesting story you heard from the criminals you met?

What about

something like this?

What?

This is a story of someone I arrested.

Never mind.

I take it back.

I can't tell you. It's too intense.

This was it.

This is his bloody jacket.

Bloody jacket?

Something you don't want to show to others.

Some sort of trauma.

That's Gab-dong.

-Look at him. -I know him.

-That's Gab-dong. -It's him.

-That's him. -I saw him.

Why would you want to demote yourself to a prison officer

from the Chief Director?

-Are you sure? -Please grant my request.

It bothers me

that he didn't tell me all of his other crimes.

Isn't his sternness almost beautiful?

If you insist.

Do you miss Gab-dong's face?

What brings you here?

Did you find a missing person?

Man-sik Choi, the father of the first victim, Mi-ja Choi.

Did you know he had a criminal record of child sexual abuse?

After long discussion between prosecutors and police,

Ryu decided to give up the nationality and accept deportation order

that does not allow reentry to the country.

The public are enraged by this decision.

Are you okay?

Tiger Detective is here.

Why are you here?

I came here to serve you.

Call me when you need me.

Especially when you want to confess your other crimes.

When I close my eyes, all I can see is the death row.

When I open my eyes, I see the messenger of death.

Just put the rope around my neck already.

Just get me on the death row.

It's not up to me to decide.

This is Tae-oh.

MATILDA

I am really sorry

about the Rock-paper-scissors.

We got a message from Do-hyeok Cha.

He wants to see you before you leave.

I think it's better to refuse.

Don't see him if you can.

I want to show him the smile of a winner.

Even if he is currently behind the bars, he's still Gab-dong.

-Don't fool around and just leave. -Well, I can't do that.

I'm already here.

Well then.

Thank you.

If it wasn't for your instigation,

-the trial would have been hard. -Are you sure you're going to stop?

-Maybe. -You misunderstood.

People like us can never stop.

-Not until we die. -I know.

It turns out you didn't stop either.

You letting go of Jae-hee Kim during the ninth case was

an act of emancipating.

Right?

EMANCIPATION: RELEASING ANIMAL BACK TO THE WILD

You were trying to make us believe you stopped.

You wanted people to think

that Gab-dong would stop because of the witness.

You fooled everyone

-and freely committed other crimes. -You are right.

That's the freedom I was talking about.

The freedom to stop is...

To be exact, you only made people to believe that you stopped.

-If that's... -I have a favor to ask.

I need you to stop me.

Did I...

-heard it wrong? -There must be a way

to send me off quietly without tainting my name as Gab-dong.

When you started to be my copycat,

when I asked you to choose between death and freedom,

our end was

already determined

-In what way? -Either I end you

or you...

end me.

I'm sorry.

But I've learned how to free myself.

You got nothing on me anymore

because I gained freedom on my own.

If you choose death again this time,

you will regret.

How...

will you kill me?

You are locked up in here.

You are fucked. How are you going to kill me?

When you came to visit me at the institute,

you really were a big gun.

You were the original Gab-dong and Chief Director at Iltan Police Agency.

But now,

you are nothing but an Inmate 9413.

Do-hyeok Cha.

I don't want to risk my hard-earned freedom

because of you.

Right.

I had something I wanted to tell you.

You were once my god

and my hero,

Do-hyeok Cha.

I...

have surpassed you.

You...

-surpassed me? -Yes.

I bit your neck.

Listen to me, Inmate 9413.

Instead of you, loser,

I am...

the real Gab-dong.

Do you think he really wants to die?

He suffers from a nightmare

every night.

Leave him to me.

You should schedule your surgery.

I will after I finish this.

You never know what would happen to me

during the surgery.

We should have

a 2,697-year jail sentence

like Italy does.

Go discuss that with someone else.

I'd like to close this.

I don't like unsolved cases.

Why should I work on this?

You finish your own investigation.

Let's talk

after you see the last page.

LIVING TOGETHER

You rude brat! Die!

Do you think we can be forgiven? What are you talking about?

What if we turn ourselves in? Everything is perfect now.

Be quiet. Don't mention that again.

Only if he didn't touch you.

Now,

it seems like the truth behind the Gab-dong case

has been revealed.

I am sick of the whole Gab-dong case.

I want to move on.

-Good thinking. -Before I do that,

draw on it

with lots of details.

Draw a map of your crimes after the ninth case

-with detail. -Gosh

Do you think I'm stupid?

Why would I tell you all that?

Your bloody jacket.

What is my bloody jacket?

Man-sik Choi.

The father of the first victim, Mi-ja Choi,

who used to be your neighbor in Pyeongsan-dong.

What he did to 14-year-old Do-hyeok Cha.

You are full of imagination.

-You're overreacting. -Am I?

Should I release the articles first?

The articles first, then the truth?

Are you okay with that?

You idolized yourself starting from the third case.

The name my father gave you, Gab-dong.

With the name,

everything about you becomes meaningful.

"Before I called his name,

he was nothing but a motion.

When someone called my name,

I finally became a soul."

That name is more precious to you than your life.

Do you want Man-sik Choi's name to follow you around?

I heard you check the public opinion about yourself

skimming through daily news and magazines

every single day?

Motivation of the first murder.

Do you want to reveal that bloody jacket?

"Please

show some mercy on me

who had unfortunate past."

If that's what you want to tell the world, it's not too late.

We can call Reporter Hong in right now.

Moo-yeom Ha.

Yes, you made the right decision.

After I find all the victims,

I will have the profilers analyze your trauma

and I will forget all about it.

If I keep looking into that,

I might start pitying you.

-Are you afraid of that? -Yes.

Pitying you

while you're alive.

Feeling sympathy for Do-hyeok Cha who is nothing but an animal.

Those are scarier than death.

Sympathy is

sometimes stronger

than love.

Then,

as a friend of yours once,

I ask you a favor.

If I draw the map, with that power of sympathy,

can you let me go?

-Let you go? -Put the rope

around my neck.

Maybe I kept you alive for this.

What? Help him commit suicide?

-He's crazy. -He wants to trade his life

with the other victims' bodies.

-Are you going to do it? -I'm going crazy.

Should I just kill him?

Let's kill him.

Can I kill him? He deserves to die.

Let's kill him. Let's just do it.

Okay? Let's kill him!

Hey, Wifey,

what choice do you think your hubby will make?

I really have no idea this time.

Wait. I saw something in a book.

During a war, the village was seized by the enemy.

As soon as you are discovered, they can kill you.

You are hiding in the basement with the village people.

Now, you hear the soldiers coming into the house.

At that moment,

your newborn baby starts to cry.

You put your hand over the baby's mouth.

If you let go of your hand, the enemy will kill you all.

If you don't...

What would you do?

They call this moral dilemma.

You just put me into a dilemma.

That's a tough situation.

Do you remember

my request?

But how come...

you never trusted me?

I do.

I'm sorry. I guess I asked for too much.

Do you want me

-to keep the promise? -I would like you to

but I know it's hard.

Aren't you worried that I might choke you somewhere sometime

without myself noticing it?

Hey,

I might quit my job at the institute.

I'm in favor.

You should have done that long time ago.

There is a beginning

but no end.

I guess I can never get away from Gab-dong.

-Why do you think so? -What I did to Tae-oh,

I'm deeply ashamed of it.

I used someone

to catch Gab-dong.

I guess he bothers you a lot.

He's a trouble even till the end.

What I've done pains me.

I can't just forget about it.

It's still chilly in the evening.

Whether you hold on to the past or not

is up to you.

It's not an obligation.

Whether you move on or not.

You should do

what you decide to do.

What about you, Detective Ha?

I caught Gab-dong. All I have left is to enjoy life.

-Treatment is going well, right? -Well,

it was an overdiagnosis.

I hope the doctors would stop doing that.

SACHUNG UNIVERSITY, JUNKYARD ILTAN GAS STATION

Moo-yeom.

Do you want to practice with nunchakus?

When we practiced using nunchakus,

-I had... -It was the happiest moment of my life

for me at the time.

Perhaps that's why I'm even more sad.

Gosh. Aren't you going to block here?

I'll do it. My goodness.

Give it to me. Come on.

Did you find anything?

It said 150m from Sachung University...

It's hard to find.

We found it!

It's a gift from Moo-yeom Ha.

I helped him complete the investigation.

But,

-I will let you have that. -What do you mean?

You thought you could climb up the ladder once you caught me?

Look at you now.

You lost your daughter and your wife.

Poor you.

People have already forgotten about Gab-dong.

What unfinished business do you have?

Killing you like this

-is so exhilarating. -This is probably

a vitamin for your body.

This pill is just to tease you while you're locked up in there.

-Don't you want to die? -I trust Moo-yeom Ha.

Do you think

he'll let you die

so easily?

About 150m away from Sachung University, we have discovered three female bones

that seem to be abandoned approximately five years ago.

Behind the field of Hwayong High School...

What a waste.

I feel bad for the girl.

I guess I can never get away from Gab-dong after all.

What I've done pains me.

I can't just forget about it.

Whether you hold on to the past or not

is up to you. It's not an obligation.

Whether to move on

or not...

PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION REPORT

DIAGNOSIS: MENTALLY INCOMPETENT

I should give up on my stock shares as well as my nationality?

SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

DR. OH

I might regret this

and I might

laugh at myself for this.

Are you staying to see Moo-yeom

shave his head?

Shave his head?

Why didn't you tell me? Why?

What?

Do I need to tell you when I go to get groceries?

Don't go today.

Why? Maria reads me books.

Don't go if I tell you so.

I didn't want to copy him

but Bruce Lee also died from cerebral hemorrhage.

"What you see is just an illusion.

The true enemy hides behind it."

I can really relate to this quote from Enter the Dragon now.

Oh, right.

I heard he was also in bed with his lover on his last day too.

This surgery is so complicated.

There are so many things I can't do.

Right, you were a doctor.

I can stand starvation but I can't stand curiosity.

Fasting.

Is it really necessary?

-Yes. -What about abstinence?

Not necessarily,

am I right?

What does it feel like to like someone?

It's really hard.

It hurts like the world is going to end

and depressing like the world is ending.

It's not too bad

-to like someone. -Really?

I went through a lot because of Mad Monk, but I've learned a lot.

I thought this might help.

I finished what we were working on.

This is about sadness.

This is about sympathy.

It's weird.

You are younger than me

but why do you feel like a mom?

I wanted to give this to you. That's all. I'll be going.

Why do you do this for me?

Do you pity me?

Actually,

Mad Monk is getting a difficult surgery.

He might die.

But there is nothing I can do.

If I do a good deed,

karma might work in his favor.

Detective Ha.

Your hematoma got better according to CT scan.

Gosh.

I feel like I can do anything right now.

It feels like I can start or stop anything.

-I'm on a flow. -Let's talk later.

-I have to get going. -Actually,

FLOW: COMPLETE ABSORPTION IN WHAT ONE DOES

-I'm near the hospital. -Why are you there?

I miss Mad Monk all of a sudden.

He would freak out if he finds out that you are leaving with me.

Detective Ha will live, right?

What do you mean?

I may have acted up with Gab-dong too much.

This needs to be signed.

He will transfer 70 percent of the shares to Tae-min

and the rest

-goes to you. -When is he coming?

Our end

was already determined.

Either I end you

or

you end me.

Suction now!

Suction!

Suction!

Tae-oh Ryu.

You think you surpassed me?

-Hey, here. -Okay!

What message should I leave?

A letter K.

Make sure everyone knows

that he's just a killer.

Okay.

There is only

one Gab-dong.

Did the surgery go well?

Are you here because you feel responsible?

I was curious. When you played Russian roulette,

were you aiming at Moo-yeom?

Did you calculate the angle of the barrel

so that he would injure his head with the fragments?

Was it intentional?

Do-hyeok Cha.

-You are... -I was sad you took the chance.

That day was a chance for me

to shoot him.

OPERATION STATUS

MOO-YEOM HA

Moo-yeom will fight through this.

He's a tough one.

He dedicated his life

to catch Gab-dong.

Of course.

You can't

stop

unless you die.

Tae-oh Ryu!

Tae-oh!

Tae-oh Ryu!

I'm in front of the hospital.

The wound is deep. Please hurry. We need blood.

I thought it was

too easy that I can

just

leave like this.

Stop talking!

It feels like

a dream

to have this freedom.

I knew it.

You should never cheat on life.

Am I...

dying

right now?

I see an angel.

I guess it's not hell at least.

Thanks for

staying with me

until the end.

You stayed not behind my back

but by my side.

Can I ask you a favor?

If I have to die,

I hope it's you who sees me off.

If you pay for your sins,

I will be with you until the end.

Not behind your back,

but by your side.

I will repent too

for not treating you as a human and trying to use you as a hunting dog.

So let's start over, Tae-oh Ryu.

So that you can be free.

I'm sorry.

I have sinned too much to be free.

By my side.

Tae-oh Ryu!

Wake up.

Wake up, Tae-oh Ryu!

Wake up!

Wake up.

Wake up.

How would you like the funeral be?

Take care of it quietly.

INTERROGATION REPORT

In the name of Gab-dong.

In the name of what?

In the name of Gab-dong.

Hey,

this isn't going to make you another Gab-dong.

-How's Detective Ha? -What about Tae-oh Ryu?

He's alive, right?

Did he die?

You are rich with sympathy.

Do me a favor,

can you shed a tear

-when I die? -Why should I?

Why should I?

That will never happen.

They are mine.

You murderer!

-Get out of the way! -Hey.

Do-hyeok Cha!

-What are you doing? Call the ambulance! -Yes sir!

Corporal Moo-yeom Ha, please come forward.

You should forget about the bad memories and remember only the good ones.

Victim was covered with a haystack. Strangled.

She went out to meet her husband after work.

Hands were tied with stockings.

Living Together

Closed

It was much clearer back in the days.

It was easy to distinguish a human from non-humans

like telling black apart from white.

Some studies say

psychopaths have above average charm.

In that sense,

I think I am...

Why isn't she here yet?

She's wasting my day off.

Gosh.

What on earth are you wearing?

You look like an adult.

-You said I look like a child. -Get to the point.

Don't be angry

no matter what I say, okay?

I found out where Tae-oh Ryu is.

What do you mean by that?

MYUNGBUJEON

We must be the first ones

to visit him.

Tae-oh Ryu

It becomes clearer after going through all this.

A detective feels ecstatic

not when he catches the suspect.

-Then when is it? -When you get to find out

about the truth behind the case.

Why are people like Gab-dong born that way?

Tae-oh Ryu

If I get to see him again,

I would like to ask him a question.

-Ask him what? -If he was really going to stop.

Certain portion of the total population is born like that.

I wonder if it works like a moment

when iodine drops

on white starch

and turns it into purple.

A case that awakens

a beast sleeping inside.

I chased after Gab-dong for so many years.

But eventually,

we're just sitting here

talking about humans and beasts.

I know.

All right. Let's try it again.

Let's see if things will stay the same or one of you will betray

when only one of you can survive.

Rock, paper, scissors.

I want to ask him this.

If he had to be that mean.

What about you?

I'm not sure.

What was the hardest decision you made in your life?

Die.

Just die.

This is my decision.

I want to kill him.

I want to.

When it's time for me to die...

I ask you once as a friend of yours.

After I draw the map, with the power of that sympathy,

can you let me go?

I wish someone would make a decision for me when it's too difficult.

You know,

life is a continuation of choices.

Ironically, choice is not a choice

but a requirement.

No one has the choice

to not choose anything.

That's right.

Big or small, we make choices

and they become the cross we carry.

But when it comes to making a difficult choice,

if the decision is made easily and faster,

it doesn't feel as humane as it supposed to be.

There is no answer in life.

It sounds strange that one can make a decision

without any dilemma.

Look.

Depending on your choice, you can take an easy way out

or a more difficult but a friendly road like this.

What about me?

What about my choices?

It was humane. That's why I found it beautiful.

Because she's a human?

Right,

because you're a human.

I'm The Real Gab-dong
