Han Da-on. Han Da-on.

Han Da-on! Han Da-on!

Gosh, that hurts.

I told you not to come down!

From now on,

rely on and trust only me.

I'll protect you.

Let's go.

Episode 11

No!

Go to hell.

Gehenna

Don't look so surprised.

I'm great at killing...

I'm sorry for going behind your back.

But I did it for you...

I'm Venato,

and hunting traitors down...

is my job.

I understand you're Venato,

and I get why you lied to me.

Thanks for protecting me although I'm a traitor,

but you put Han Da-on in danger.

I can't forgive that.

Han Da-on is nothing.

I never want to see you again,

and don't dare go anywhere near Han Da-on.

Justitia.

You...

You'll eventually die because of Han Da-on.

Just a moment.

Sergeant Cleaning

And the back.

It's all done.

The coffin's been stamped and sealed.

Yes.

Bael is the only one who can release him into the world.

Why are you helping me? You could end up in trouble.

We think we understand

why you did this.

Thanks.

What did she say?

She just thanked us.

She's human now.

You have fallen in love with a human.

As if breaking the rules wasn't enough, you even killed Paimon...

to save that human.

What do you have to say?

Nothing.

Just kill me.

It will be lonely going alone.

I'd better kill the man you love, too.

You'll have to risk your life first, Bael.

You've become quite foolish.

From now on, Demon Justitia

shall lose all her powers.

Justitia will remain on Earth as a mere mortal

and atone.

Soon a heavy punishment will fall upon you.

The Judge from Hell

You met with Detective Jang Mun-jae

at the construction site that night,

but you soon parted ways and don't know where he went.

Is that correct?

Yes.

What did you two talk about?

He told me he was struggling to adjust to his new posting.

You talked about that at that hour?

In the middle of nowhere with no cameras?

I only went to the address Detective Jang gave me.

It seems you want to accuse me of killing him,

but you should stop.

I'm a busy man.

No to Redevelopment of Hwangcheon-dong!

Hwangcheon Villa

- How did the questioning go? - There's no need to worry.

I realized I'm a decent liar.

I guess I rubbed off on you.

They say you become like the person you like.

I told you J is likely Satan, right?

Yes. Did you find who he is?

Jeong Seon-ho, I think.

Jeong Seon-ho is J?

He's the one who killed So-yeong?

What are you going to do? Kill him?

Do you expect me to let him live?

He's a demon. Do you want to die before you get revenge?

I'm suspicious of Seon-ho,

but I'm not certain he's J.

I'll find out.

You'll only raise suspicion. I'll do it.

- But you... - What about me?

No, nothing.

I have a way.

If it's dangerous, don't do it.

You almost died because of me.

I won't die and leave you. I promise.

You're not done yet.

I am. There.

That's not enough...

Why did he...?

Do you know how to peel apples?

I'll do it.

You're peeling it too thick.

Just a second.

Get over here now.

I think you need a beating, don't you?

Detective Han Da-on

Was the questioning okay?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry for making you worry.

I don't know why bad things keep happening to our team.

Look at your face. How can you call yourself an officer?

How ridiculous. Darn it.

We'll head out.

- Let's go. - Okay.

We'll be back.

You don't usually eat with us, sir. It's an honor.

I try to have a meal

with every employee at our court.

It's my motto.

It's so good.

Never mind. Go on.

We love the menu these days.

Chief, might you be running for...

Gosh. Just enjoy your lunch.

Have you heard from Judge Kang?

No. I think she's planning

- to open her own practice. - What?

Or she's just being her strange self...

Goodness, was that too honest?

I can't have her causing trouble before she gets back.

By the way, why are you two always together?

Are you dating?

- No! - No!

Why do you think Judge Kang wants to come all the way here?

Does it make you uncomfortable or anxious?

You know how I feel.

Right.

I understand how you might feel.

A guest has arrived.

Okay. Let her in.

Could you please take these?

It's premium beef and fruit.

I bought them at the department store.

I see.

You really didn't have to.

By the way, what are you wearing?

- First, please let me bow to you. - What?

Judge Kang? What are you doing?

Father.

Please let me marry your son.

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm suddenly asking to marry your son.

I haven't thought about it much so far,

but I realize now...

what I have to do.

Is that marrying my son?

To be exact, it's attaining success and wealth through the marriage.

I want to go into politics.

I'm a great liar, shameless,

selfish, hypocritical,

and I like money.

I think I have what it takes to be a great politician.

You decided to break off our engagement on your own.

Why are you doing this now?

I'm not interested in you.

He's...

the one I want to marry.

Then...

you two should get to know each other.

Father.

Gosh, how scary.

- I need to use the bathroom. - Of course.

- How long have you been there? - Since just now.

What did you see?

What should I have seen?

You'd really better stop now.

There's only so much I can stand.

Can you get your ugly face out of mine?

We're not even married yet. Let's keep a safe distance.

What about our agreement?

Don't you know how to knock?

Who cares about that now?

I haven't forgotten about it.

How could I?

Then why did you let Kang Bit-na back in here?

I think she may be useful.

No, not to me.

So you should've gotten the redevelopment done already.

That's the reason?

Jeong Tae-gyu.

Do you want to go back to how things were?

If you keep acting as you like,

you'll find yourself in trouble,

Father.

Ian Daily Reporter Jo Ah-ran

Judge Kang Was Behind Jeong's Light Sentence

Reading your article,

we assumed you must know Judge Kang well.

I don't know her well.

I'm following her since her rulings are absurd.

Did you ever come across

anything unusual about Judge Kang Bit-na?

Do you know that a few days after she was attacked,

an article about her broken engagement

- was published? - Yes.

Isn't it strange the two happened so close together?

And an incumbent judge was stabbed,

but the culprit still hasn't been caught.

Then do you think the attack on Kang Bit-na

is related to Jeong Jae-geol's family?

Yes.

Then why haven't you written about it?

I did.

But it was removed right away.

I asked my company why, but got no straight answer.

When Judge Kang was attacked,

I heard she was taken to Yeonseon University Hospital.

The reporter was right.

Someone exerted their influence.

Let's talk in the car.

Okay.

Kang Bit-na left Jeong Tae-gyu's home at 8 p.m. on December 19, 2023.

And she was taken to the hospital the next night, on the 20th at 9 p.m.

Right before the incident, Kang Bit-na sent a text to Jeong Tae-gyu.

And since then, the two haven't contacted each other.

They must have broken up at Jeong's house the night before.

She could've asked to break up via text.

Either way, the conclusion is,

Kang Bit-na was stabbed after the breakup was mentioned.

Kang Bit-na asked to break off the engagement,

and Jeong Tae-gyu got angry and stabbed her?

Let's first check Jeong Tae-gyu's alibi for that night.

Right. There's a junkie in that family, right?

- Check his alibi, too. - Okay.

Hey!

Are you going to ignore me?

You ignored him first.

Shut up, you little...!

Follow me, you jerk.

Not you. You!

Slow down.

You'll get indigestion.

Why do you have to be so nice?

I can't even hate you.

You know Judge Kang was stabbed a while back, right?

I think Jeong Jae-geol's family is in some way related to that incident.

But you're suspicious of Judge Kang.

- So why are you...? - I am.

I'm still suspicious of her.

But I need to know why she was stabbed

and what kind of person she is

to find any clues about the incident

that I suspect she was involved in.

That's why I'm doing this.

If Detective Kim was alive, she would've told me to.

Kang Bit-na was the victim of that attack,

so she would've told me to catch the culprit.

That it's an officer's job.

Dong-hun.

I'm sorry I hit you.

It's all right.

And I'm sorry I couldn't protect her.

What happened to So-yeong isn't your fault.

I'm really sorry.

If you're sorry, you pay for dinner.

Gosh.

Here.

Meet Professor Lee Ji-hye at Yeonseon Hospital.

She's the psychiatrist who treated Kang Bit-na back then.

She'd know well about the night she was admitted.

Yeonseon University Hospital

I can't share with you information about the patient's treatment.

Professor, I really need to catch the culprit.

You're a police officer who must catch the culprit,

and I'm a doctor who must protect my patient.

What should we do then?

Then, the night Judge Kang was admitted, was there anything unusual to note?

Please tell me what you remember

within the scope of what you can say.

A man...

came looking for Kang Bit-na.

Kang Bit-na

- Can you check the rest at the desk? - Yes, doctor.

Thanks.

- Was it him? - No.

Then...

Yes. It was him.

You said you only saw him briefly a few months ago.

How do you remember his face?

He seemed very anxious,

like he was guilty of something.

I told the police I saw a suspicious man,

but they said the investigation was closed.

Jeong Seon-ho killed me?

I mean... Kang Bit-na?

Yes. I'm sure he's J.

Don't get close to him.

But that's not enough.

We need more solid evidence.

He killed Kang Bit-na and So-yeong.

And J's serial killings began right after he returned from the U.S.

He's a murderer.

If Jeong Seon-ho is J and the one who killed Kang Bit-na,

why wasn't her body dismembered?

That's true, but...

We need to check and be more certain.

Is that why

you're trying to marry Jeong Seon-ho?

I'm not really going to.

I just need to get his guard down to get closer.

Still, I don't like it.

- Are you jealous? - I'm worried.

- That's disappointing. - Half worried,

half jealous.

Just wait a bit longer.

- You trust me, right? - I do,

but I don't feel good.

Then I should cheer you up.

It looks great on you.

Doesn't wearing hanbok make you feel better?

Well, it just seems we're doing this so you can feel better.

Hanbok is so beautiful. Of course, I'm more beautiful.

We have no time for this. We have somewhere to go.

Where?

Since the subjects are perfect, the pictures came out amazing.

You're right. The photos are unique.

This is what young people do on dates these days.

Are we on a date, then?

Here you go. Enjoy, Detective Han.

You, too. Enjoy.

Turkish ice cream.

Goodness. There's no cone!

You have to grab it.

- Can't do it? - I can.

You look like a fool.

Can't do it, right? Thank you.

Are you done already?

Enjoy! Oops.

- Give me ice cream! - Where is it?

- Wait, Judge Kang. Stop. - Give me ice cream!

- Can you just...? - Sorry.

It's ice cream.

This reminds me of that man from earlier.

"Can you get it? You can't, right?"

"You look like a fool."

I should've gotten his name.

"The Petty Demon"?

Why does he think demons are petty?

There are beautiful, strong,

smart, and perfect demons like me, too.

Yes.

You're perfect.

Right?

I'm not petty.

How was today?

I had fun.

Though we mostly did what you wanted to do.

I must have fun to make it fun for you too.

You're right.

So how do you feel?

Good. I loved it.

Love...

I wasn't asking about me.

I know. I loved it and feel good.

What did you think I meant?

Nothing.

Thank you...

for everything.

So pretty.

That. The lighting is pretty.

They did a good job here. The Stonewall Walkway.

They did.

It's really pretty.

Lord.

My son's killer is back.

This time, he killed the officer who was trying to protect me.

Innocent people are dying. Why aren't you doing anything, Lord?

You should've...

had him kill me

instead of that police officer.

Then at least I could've seen his face before I died.

Don't you hear my prayers?

I've prayed to you for 20 years.

How much longer must you test me?

I'm not asking for much.

I'm just asking that I see him once.

So why?

Why?

Why...?

Why is it raining so much?

Are you filming a music video?

Why walk in the rain?

Bit-na.

Gosh, that's hot!

Myeong-suk! Deaconess!

That's hot!

Wake up! Hey!

She's burning up.

Are you awake?

Why are you so heavy? I almost dislocated my shoulder.

I'm sorry.

Well, the end justifies the means.

I had to get your fever down.

Just know I almost died carrying that back.

Thank you.

The Holy Bible

Get some rest.

Did you find him? That man.

I've seen him before.

It was raining like this too that day.

I was afraid my baby would be wet and cold,

so I went there to hold an umbrella over him.

Hwangcheon-dong

Do you know my Ye-chan?

Why are you running away? Did you kill my son? Did you?

No. I didn't!

- Stop! - Let go!

Let go!

Ye-chan!

I've only prayed for one thing since that day.

To let me see him one more time,

so I can ask him why he killed my son.

But He hasn't heard me.

Since I'm a believer of God,

I was going to forgive him if he apologized,

but I can't seem to.

I want to...

tear him limb from limb.

I don't even know his face,

but I've killed him in my mind over and over again,

but I'm still angry.

I'm frustrated and resentful.

Honey.

Honey.

You told me last time...

that you were tracking him down.

You're a judge and you're very smart.

Please find him.

I'm begging you.

Please find him.

I'm begging you, please.

Please find him.

Please.

Please.

- Are you nuts? You'll die. - I won't.

What if he catches you in that house?

You don't have your powers anymore.

Do you think you can beat Satan?

I can slip out before he sees me.

Tyson said,

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

Da-on must've cried alone like that, too.

And all the other victims' families...

probably cried their eyes out.

How can I turn away from them?

You can. Just do it.

That's how you've been.

I'm scared, too. So I hesitated.

But if someone has to do it, I'll do it.

But why?

Because I'm a judge.

I'm telling Detective Han.

Why aren't you stopping me?

Because you're on my side.

So creepy.

Make sure Ah-rong doesn't get near Da-on while I'm gone.

Ah-rong's been gone for a while now. Don't worry.

When...?

When will you go?

Soon.

Thank you, Assemblyman.

There's no need for that, Mr. Jeong.

Don't worry about the business.

Okay.

Nice shot!

You should retire and start golfing professionally.

Gosh, you flatter me.

Perhaps a little too much.

- Thank you. - Of course.

- What time is Judge Kang coming? - At 7.

We still have time. Let's enjoy our round.

All right.

I was expecting you for dinner at 7. You're early.

I have too much time.

No one's home?

His younger son is on the second floor.

Seon-ho's home now?

He probably took some sleeping pills and is asleep.

I see.

Do you know that big department store in Yeouido?

Could you get some egg tarts from there?

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid it's too far.

And it's just me here, so I can't leave.

I'm soon to be married into this family.

All right, then.

What did you see?

What is this place?

What?

Why did they build this?

The candles blew out.

Could it be...

Justitia My icon and role model

As I thought, this junkie attacked Kang Bit-na.

The night Kang Bit-na was attacked, he took a taxi near the park.

This was highly suspicious,

but the investigation was closed because...

Someone told them to.

Then Jeong Jae-geol or Jeong Tae-gyu, which one could it be?

It must be Jeong Jae-geol.

What are you doing?

We weren't trying to hide this from you.

We had to be sure before...

You should eat properly to work late.

Detective Yoo.

Won't you eat with us?

Why isn't she picking up?

The number you have dialed is...

Judge Kang Bit-na

Man-do, it's me.

I haven't been able to reach Judge Kang all day.

What?

I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen.

You're a tough one.

You're just weak.

Seeing how feisty you are, I didn't get you right the first time.

You little...!

- Why aren't you going in? - What are you saying?

- Aren't you Satan? - That nonsense again?

You should have just died then.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because you keep getting involved.

You barged into my mom's room.

If you're not Satan, then who is?

Your father? Brother?

Don't try stalling with that nonsense.

No matter how hard you try to get out of here,

you won't make it out alive.

Why did you try to kill Kang Bit-na, I mean, me...

at the park last December?

December 2023

Mr. Jeong will be a bit late, I'm afraid.

I can wait.

May I take a look around the house?

My goodness.

This is so cool.

Tae-gyu.

Yes?

I thought I was just a jerk to you.

Water.

Darn it. Say, "Water, please."

Water, please.

Don't.

What are you doing here?

Darn it.

Good. Very nice.

Do you want to watch that woman die too?

It's fun.

I should get going.

What about our dinner?

I'm not feeling so well.

Bye.

You shouldn't have entered that room.

Tae-gyu!

Tae-gyu! Just once, please!

I'll do anything you ask. Please.

Please give me the drugs.

"Anything"?

Yeah, anything.

This is why you shouldn't spoil your kids.

Tae-gyu, let's call off our engagement

Darn it.

Why are you doing this?

My brother told me to, so don't resent me.

I haven't told anyone what I saw in the basement,

so please just let me go.

I'm a judge.

Do you think you can get away with killing a judge?!

Please. Please don't kill me. Please.

- Die! - Please!

Darn it.

My gosh. Darn it.

You really don't remember, do you?

It doesn't matter.

You know now, so you have to die.

Did your mother die here?

She must have been

in a lot of pain before she died.

What do you know?

Tell me who killed her.

Then I'll send them to hell for you.

Don't mess around with my mom!

But it's okay for you to kill someone in front of her?

Shut up!

Come here. Die.

Die!

You have to die now.

My father and brother will be home soon.

You're a sad sack who's leeching off the demon

who killed your mother.

I don't have time. Move!

I heard from the chubby guy that Justitia's in danger.

That's the blueprint for Jeong's home. I stole it.

There's a secret passageway there. It's the fourth green book.

If you need this, take it.

Let's go together.

Justitia hates me.

She's lost her powers and is vulnerable,

so you have to save her.

Stop, you jerk!

Don't kill him!

Han Da-on!

Stop hitting him.

I have to hit him, too.

How dare you...?

Are you all right?

- Why didn't you tell me? - I didn't have to. You still came.

- Let's get to the hospital first. - Before that,

Jeong Seon-ho isn't J...

or Satan.

It's either Jeong Jae-geol or Jeong Tae-gyu.

You could've died. Do you realize that?

Don't act alone again.

How adorable.

This is why I can't quit you, Han Da-on.

What is that?

Are you feeling dizzy?

I'm fine.

Come closer.

Thanks.

You can hit me, too.

I hit you twice.

Oh, no.

Go on.

Then I'll just hit you once.

Justitia.

You're good.

Thank... I mean, sorry.

Now that I'm all better,

shall we get started?

Seoul Nobong Police Station

What's Jeong Jae-geol doing?

He won't leave his house.

And Jeong Tae-gyu isn't going to work.

A judge was confined in their home, but they're still not talking?

By the way, where is this punk?

Kang Bit-na is being discharged today. I sent him there.

Where is Jeong Seon-ho?

Here. I ran his license plate.

He's in Gangwon-do.

- Let's move. - Yes, sir.

VIP Patient: Kang Bit-na

- Hello. - You're here.

- Yes. - Hello.

Where is she?

We heard she was being discharged and came to help,

but she's not here.

I give my life to summon the Demon of Death. Bael.

A sinner in the middle of her punishment

has dared to summon me.

I found Satan.

Please give me my powers back.

Then I'll catch Satan and bring him to you.

You're my sole heir.

Don't disappoint me again.

I won't.

Phoenix Inn

Who is it?

I'm from reception. Can you open the door for a moment?

The police called.

You should have just died then.

The Judge from Hell

If it's murder, who could it have been?

I didn't kill my brother.

I killed him.

Must I express...

my condolences?

- Who are you? - Demons.

Keep an eye on Jae-geol and Tae-gyu.

Let's go together. To hell.

I can't stop Han Da-on from going to hell.

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

- That's... - Kylum!

Be honest. You're Satan, aren't you?

It was you?

There are ranks even among demonic powers.

You're wrong. The demon of all demons

is me.
