Original subtitles

Did you perhaps contact the police?

I warned you.

What can I do then?

You have 48 hours.

Bring me one million dollars or...

You'll have to kill me.

(Psychopath Diary)

Yes, I'd like to take out a loan.

I'm a salaryman.

I'm an assistant manager at a stock firm.

An assistant manager.

I need collateral?

I don't own my own house or real estate.

Well, the amount is pretty big. It's... It's a million dollars.

I need one million dollars. I need...

Hello? Hello?

I can't even take out a loan.

Should I use the company's money?

I need collateral? But I don't have anything.

Dong Sik.

Aren't you going home?

- I guess I should go. - Is something on your mind?

Is it about a woman?

If you need help with anything, just let us know.

Well...

Ms. Han's husband is jobless.

Mi Joo's family is in a lot of debt.

And Suk Hyun...

It's nothing.

Then we'll be off now.

Are you sure?

See you.

Bye.

(I'd like to inform you of the predator killer's identity.)

- Did you check the number? - It's from a burner phone.

Whoever sent this used a prepaid SIM card for travelers.

I see. Thank you.

What is it this time?

I'll let you know once things become more clear.

No, I'm not asking because I'm curious.

The chief caught me calling the telecommunications company.

See? I knew it.

Bo Kyung, what are you up to this time?

I'm sorry.

- But I can't tell you right now. - Forget it.

You're probably acting out because you're getting transferred.

I'm just going to report you for disobeying your orders...

and abusing your governmental authority. Do you understand?

Answer me!

My goodness, look who's here.

Please calm down.

Is it okay if I borrow Officer Shim for a minute?

An informant?

Are you sure?

I'll need to check, but it doesn't seem like a joke...

seeing how careful this person is.

You were going to deal with this on your own...

without even reporting it to me?

Do you not trust me?

I'm sorry.

You know what?

Your hunch could actually be right.

- What? - I could be wrong.

Back then, I was certain of my findings.

Come to think of it now,

I may not have been able to admit it...

because of what happened to your father.

If I'm wrong just like you say I am,

that means there was another culprit...

who became the predator killer over time.

I'd like to arrest him too with my own hands.

I mean,

with you.

Uncle.

Can you let me know...

if the informant contacts you again?

Sure, I will.

I'll ask the bosses to hold off on your transfer...

until we wrap up this case.

I had my men ask around.

Park Moo Suk became a private investigator...

after quitting the police force.

Were you caught dating a married woman?

Of course. No one would ask 10 big ones for a measly affair.

Oh, I get it now.

He figured out who you are.

Something like that.

This is huge, so what should we do?

Should I let my men loose on the street?

Many of them have nothing to lose...

since they're already doomed.

Or you could always take matters into your own hands.

I can't.

So you'd solve this with money rather than with blood?

Sure.

I'm sure you have your reasons.

Anyway, just leave it to me.

Right? See?

He's someone that I'm loyal to...

more so than even my own flesh and blood.

I see.

Why on earth do you quickly need one million dollars though?

I thought your policy was "no questions asked"?

Have you had any major surgeries before?

My brain was injured in a car accident,

but it was nothing huge.

- My memories... - Your brain?

I'm not really asking about that.

Right.

Can you agree to give over your rights to your own body?

- What? - Are you kidding me?

How dare you even ask him that!

Come on.

This isn't a charity, you know.

I can't lend him a million dollars just on his credit.

I need collateral.

Right, that you do need.

Let me see.

What about Mr. Yook's Meat Republic?

My father's restaurant?

Yes, for 10 big ones.

That'll be 89.5 dollars.

- Thank you. - Thank you. Take care.

Have a good day.

Goodness.

And that's an end to another day.

What brings you by at this hour?

I have something to tell you.

- What is it? - Well...

How's business doing?

The floor was more packed than usual today, right?

Others are complaining about business being slow,

so we're lucky.

I wish we'll get twice more customers tomorrow.

That'll kill me then.

Why would it kill you...

when I'll be working harder?

Dong Chan will help too.

They say that real estate prices...

aren't doing well,

but I doubt that's the case here since business is thriving.

Of course.

When we first opened our restaurant here,

it was an empty field. Right?

Of course. It was an empty field,

and we were like Adam and Eve.

Goodness.

Dong Sik, you don't even remember, do you?

Hold on. Where should I begin?

Tell him how we first met.

That's right.

Gosh, 18 years have already passed since then.

You know how romantic your father can be.

Dong Sik, after your mother passed away,

he was close to a dead man walking.

Your sister couldn't take it anymore,

so she told me to go hiking.

Instead of hiking up it though, I approached it as my enemy.

My heart was still wounded so I challenged it to a battle.

He was like a wounded lone wolf.

- Sorry? - I felt so bad for him...

that I couldn't stop thinking about him since that day.

I worried about him...

and wanted to bring him comfort.

Angrily hiking up the mountain for years...

led me to become the leader of the Hiking Club.

No matter how angrily I stomped...

and tread on it,

the mountain took it all in without moving a single inch.

And when I let it all out...

and spat out all my anger...

Mr. Yook,

this is kudzu juice which is good for your health.

Goodness. Thank you.

- So... - Yes?

Are there any ears on sale?

I'll buy the ears that didn't just hear that.

Gosh.

That being said, this restaurant...

I wrapped up the clothing store I owned,

and we opened this restaurant with his retirement money.

It seemed far-fetched at first.

However, we hung in there...

which allowed us to put you and your siblings through college.

And now, business is thriving.

How grateful is that?

I see.

This is where I plan on ending my life.

Even for billions of dollars, I'd never sell this place.

Anyway, I thought you had something to say.

I think I did,

but your love story was so intriguing...

that I forgot.

How silly of you.

So how are things are the office?

Good.

Is that director you came here with the other day doing well too?

He seemed quite decent.

He is. He's nice to me too.

He seems to be quite fond of you.

Ask him for advice if anything is troubling you.

If one has stable support,

you can power through...

whatever hardships come your way.

Shouldn't Ji Hoon be back at the office now?

I'm looking for something easy for him,

so let him rest quietly for now.

Why are you making him seem like a lunatic?

According to him, something did happen.

You never even looked into that.

Do you really think I wouldn't have?

Still...

You're home.

Yes, I see you're still awake.

Right, well, not for long.

In Woo, I'll let you and your father talk.

Sure.

I didn't think I'd live to hear her call you by your name.

You called her Mother even as a young boy,

but she always referred to you as "Hey" as a boy...

and "Director Seo" as an adult.

Is that so?

At least she's not completely clueless.

She finally caught on.

Ji Hoon is still being a child...

while you've shown great promise after...

taking over the Asset Management Team.

Unless something happens, the company will be yours.

There will be...

no issues.

Of course not.

Have a drink.

We're a team now. If anything is troubling you,

please come to me and ask for advice.

Got it?

(Director Seo In Woo)

Here's the million dollars you requested.

It took a while since I had to be discrete.

My apologies.

Good work.

I had to bring it somewhere urgently,

so I was worried I'd be late.

That's why I made such a difficult request.

If that's what it was, you didn't have to keep it from me.

Do you want to know...

the real reason?

If it's something I must know.

When you suddenly sent me...

to auditing when I was doing well...

When I took on the risk joined your cause...

to kick out Director Seo Ji Hoon...

I never once doubted you while I served you.

And that you would take me high up with you.

If it is unrelated to that, I will pretend not to know.

As expected,

you're smart, Ms. Jo.

(Yook Dong Sik)

Hello, Dong Sik.

What is it at this hour?

What is it, that you're stalling so much?

- Well... - Do you need money?

I guess so.

How much do you need?

- Well... - Don't feel so bad.

I can lend you like 100,000 dollars. We're close enough.

Don't be shocked. That's how much...

I value you, that's all.

I've made a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Do you need...

even more than that?

How much?

A million dollars?

Really?

That much?

Would that be possible?

What's wrong?

Is someone blackmailing you?

No.

What do you mean, blackmail? No.

That's a relief.

You must have a problem you can't talk about.

I'll look into it for you,

but that's such a large sum, I can't guarantee it.

I shouldn't have asked.

Where can I get that much money?

You have the money, right?

That's too much.

If you won't accept installments, can you at least give me more time?

You haven't assessed the situation.

If I talk to the cops, no, to Officer Shim,

you're done for.

One million dollars at 4pm tomorrow.

Bring it to the basement of the boat factory...

at 340-12 Dosu-dong, Seoin City, Gyeonggi-do.

Why isn't he answering?

Are you waiting for an important call or text?

Yes. It's a killer offer.

I guess he can't decide whether or not to do it.

If the terms are right, I'm sure he will.

It's not my style to let the other person decide.

Then?

I should make them move...

as I want.

Sir, you can't sleep here.

You should go home.

I called a designated driver.

What's taking him so long?

Where did you leave your car?

My car? My car. Where's my car?

What car do you drive and what's the license plate number?

42D5959.

What?

I sold my car.

Where's the designated driver?

You should've gone to the PR department when they said to.

Why did you stay just to suffer like this?

Wait.

Can you call my wife?

- Okay. Your wife. - I'm single.

- Tomorrow at 5pm in Dosu-dong. - My sister...

- Will send specific address later. - Yes, your sister.

I'm an only child.

You got another text?

5pm? That's immediately after our meeting time.

This is a warning...

that if I don't do as he says,

he'll tell Bo Kyung everything right away.

Which gets me to my point.

I told Captain Ryoo I'd report to him and work with him.

I feel bad since you've been helping me,

- but this time... - It's okay.

I have some stuff to take care of anyway.

Is something wrong?

You've seemed disturbed lately.

No. It's nothing.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll work out.

I'll let you know right away if I get good news.

Goodbye.

(REG Escape Room Cafe)

He was fine for a while, but he's back at it again.

Do I have no choice...

but to kill him?

That's not good.

But if I don't...

What do I do?

Okay.

Do I have no choice but to release the beast...

that I've been trying so hard to suppress?

Am I just destined to be a predator...

no matter how hard I try to escape from it?

He should be awake by now.

Gosh, don't be like this.

Seeing you struggle for your life...

makes me want to kill you myself.

I'm sorry. Please let me live.

Then I swear that I'll live quietly for the rest of my life.

I said I'm not going to kill you.

You already have all the evidence.

No one will believe me even if I talk.

It's game over already.

The game you started is over.

But I just started a whole new game.

I'd love to kill you myself.

But this time, I'm going to let someone else kill you instead.

Yook Dong Sik will be the one taking care of you.

No... No.

No.

No! No!

See? This doesn't work properly.

This is why it's always best to use the right kind of tools.

What? You want to borrow my car and leave without me again?

Did Park Moo Suk...

call you again?

No, he didn't.

Boss, you're very weird these days. Do you know that?

Didn't you say you won't question me?

Here.

If I didn't have to go...

to an appointment, I would've followed you no matter what.

Thank you.

Be safe.

Boss, let me...

Let me explain.

I was on my way to my appointment.

And I happened to run into a guy who used to work for me...

back in the day. His name is Gyung Sik.

He's really big.

And his hands are really gigantic.

When I saw him, I greeted him...

and reached out for a handshake. But the moment we shook hands...

It hurt so much.

He started wrestling ever since he was little.

So once he gets a hold of you, you're practically dead.

When I held his hand,

this is what happened.

It's a little embarrassing to tell you this,

but I fainted. And after a while,

I opened my eyes...

and found myself here.

Isn't it ridiculous?

Imagine how dumbfounded I must've been.

When I opened my eyes,

I found myself in this trunk.

Have a good life,

you predator.

I have to say, he's cool.

There's traffic, so I'll be 30 minutes late.

I'm very sorry.

I'll wait exactly 30 minutes.

Just make sure you have my money.

He's going to pull a trick?

I'm not even surprised.

He'll have to kill someone for the first time in his life.

I swear that this is going to be...

my last time.

Wait.

What if he knows that I'm going to ambush him?

It'd be dumb to walk through the front door.

My gosh, just open the door and go inside.

It looks like he's defenseless.

But this guy didn't even get scared when he found out...

that I was the predatory killer. Instead, he just threatened me.

So there's no way he's defenseless.

[VIU Ver] tvN E10 'Psychopath Diary' "The Killer Inside Me" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I must end his life before he has a chance to fight back.

From what I researched last night...

("The Godfather")

In "The Godfather,"

Luca Brasi was known to be exceptionally brutal.

How was he put down?

What? Are you kidding me?

Hold on. Is he asleep?

He really is asleep.

Gosh.

Now,

I must do it.

Why can't you even eat what was served?

I must hurry after him.

If he talks to Office Shim, I'll be done for.

We still have time until 5pm, so wait here.

Once the informant calls, you'll meet him by yourself.

We'll be close by listening in.

Sure.

(What is this?)

(The predator killer is Seo In Woo!)

(Seo In Woo is the one I've been blackmailing!)

I don't wish to kill you either.

But...

(That's not what I'm saying!)

(Untie me.)

(I'll tell you everything, all right?)

I didn't want to go this far either.

But you're the one who created this mess.

How can a salaryman get that much money?

(It wasn't you who I was blackmailing!)

(Seo In Woo is the predator.)

(Not you,)

(but Seo In Woo.)

Did you know that...

I was done with killing people?

I'm a sick psychopath who has no empathy,

but I was trying hard to live a straight life.

So why did you wake up the beast in hibernation?

Why? Just why? What for?

(Who on earth is this guy?)

(Is he a lunatic?)

I'm sure I'm scaring you.

You're probably regretting this.

Still, there's no going back.

(Hold on!)

(Untie me for a second.)

(I'll tell you everything.)

(Just untie me!)

(You moron!)

What...

Could it be Officer Shim?

Was it just the wind?

Right.

Officer Shim doesn't know the exact location anyway.

Just kill him for crying out loud!

I'm getting annoyed watching this.

I'm currently near Dosu-dong. Where should I go?

Darn it.

(Yook Dong Sik)

(Director Seo In Woo)

(Director Seo In Woo)

- What are you up to right now? - Well...

I'm a little busy right now.

You don't seem like it.

No, but I am.

I have the money.

- What? - Let's meet.

- Hello. - Hi.

Have a drink.

Thank you.

I won't forget...

I'll thank you later.

I'm in a rush right now.

Hold on.

You're being blackmailed,

aren't you?

- Well... - Can't I know that much...

if I'm lending you a million dollars?

You're right.

I knew it.

I know from experience.

Would paying the person resolve it?

Pardon? What do you mean?

Well, if this were a proper transaction,

that would be the case.

But would a jerk who extorts money from someone using his weakness...

keep his word?

Since I already lent you the money,

it's up to you how you use it.

But keep this in mind.

Once you get dragged around,

you'll always get dragged around.

Then what do you think I should do?

You should make sure that person never blackmails you again.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

Hello, Bo Kyung.

Really?

Oh well. I understand.

What did Bo Kyung...

It's nothing.

I had asked her to meet today,

but she said they identified a source...

and is tracking that person.

I see.

I'll get going now.

What's wrong?

Didn't you need money?

Right.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Don't be dejected.

We get stood up by sources all the time.

Let's head back and...

Things got complicated.

What happened? I'll help you.

(What happened? I'll help you.)

(I was going to blackmail him...)

(I was going to blackmail him...)

I was going to blackmail him for a large sum of money.

Are you being chased?

(Are you being chased?)

(Are you being chased?)

(Are you being chased?)

I think the killer caught onto him.

But...

What's that?

It's the location of a utility pole.

Let's go.

Life...

is so funny.

I got the money somehow, but...

I think...

I'll have to kill you.

(Park Moo Suk)

Park Moo Suk?

Do you know him?

He was a detective.

Track his phone, request backup, and search the area.

- Yes, sir. - Travel in pairs.

Yes, sir.

(Park Moo Suk)

What's your problem, jerk?

Why are you doing this?

Answer me.

He got caught accepting bribes from a nightclub...

and ended up getting fired.

He must've started a detective agency afterward.

- Captain Ryoo. - Hey.

- Did you locate the cell phone? - It's a 2G phone, so it's hard.

But we know that it's somewhere around here.

Uncle.

Look over there.

The informant is dead. Where's the suspect?

I think he got away.

The predatory killer?

I thought he died.

What happened?

Mr. Nam was just a copycat killer.

We're not sure if he died due to an accident...

or if he was actually murdered...

by the predatory killer.

But what we know is that a former detective got murdered...

while he tried to give us a tip-off regarding the killer.

And it's very likely that he's the predatory killer.

Officer Shim has a point.

Park Moo Suk always got involved in all sorts of dirty businesses.

It's possible that he might've had a connection with the culprit...

way before we even started investigating the case.

This is putting the reputation of the police at risk.

If you do a poor job and the press hears about it,

you know what will happen, right?

They'll criticize us for our poor investigation.

And people will get furious once they find out...

that a former detective was involved.

If you give us your permission, we'll quietly investigate the case.

Then we'll inform you once we find clear evidence.

Okay, go ahead.

We need to catch him first in order to find out...

whether or not he was involved with what happened eight years ago.

So let's just focus on the informant's murder for now.

I'll let you know if we find anything.

So give me a chance and trust me this time.

Thanks, Uncle.

It's been a while, sir.

Who is this?

I'm Captain Ryoo Jae Joon, the detective who was in charge...

of the murder case in Gwangju eight years ago.

What brings you to call me?

I think we need to meet, sir.

What is the matter with me?

This wasn't even my first time.

What is wrong with me?

Can we meet today?

(Officer Shim)

(Officer Shim)

(Turn off device)

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

You will be charged after the beep.

I wonder if he's busy helping out at the restaurant.

Did something good happen overnight?

I had an amazing night.

About that personal investment I told you about last time...

I'm not making a profit as early as I thought I would.

But I think it'll be fun to see how it turns out.

That's good to hear.

Are you here to report something?

I'm here to update you about Yook Dong Sik.

Yes, what is it?

He didn't come to work.

Apparently, he's never done this before.

Really?

Maybe he's going through something.

(Former Detective, Park, Was Found Murdered)

Is he answering or not?

He isn't picking up. He won't even read our messages.

Do you think he's sick?

Or maybe he's hungover.

Dong Sik never skips work because of that.

- Jae Ho, do you know anything? - No, sir.

- I don't really... - Why don't you know anything?

My gosh, hurry up and try calling him again.

What's going on? I'm so worried about him.

(Change...)

(Change in company speed dial numbers)

- Company speed dial... - What is it?

No, it's nothing.

What are you talking about? You little punk.

What if something really happened?

Dong Sik never skips work. This is totally absurd.

Dong Sik didn't come to work?

I couldn't get a hold of him.

So I came here thinking he'd be at work.

I know what you mean.

I'm thinking of going to his place to check up on him after work.

Then I'll go see him right now.

I still have some time until my shift begins.

But it did seem like something's been...

bothering Dong Sik these days.

Did you also notice that?

I also felt the same way.

So I asked him what was troubling him last time.

Knowing him, he probably told you that it's nothing.

Tell me about it.

What could it be?

I thought it could be girl trouble at first...

By the way, why did you come here...

asking for Dong Sik?

I had something to discuss with him.

Ms. Shim?

Mr. Seo?

What?

You came all this way because you were worried about him.

I should be jealous, right?

- That's not it... - I'm only joking.

I was worried, so I was about to call too.

Yesterday, he asked...

if I could lend him a huge amount of money.

What?

How much are we talking about?

I'm not comfortable revealing that.

Still, I think you should talk to him.

He didn't tell me any details, but he seemed nervous.

Maybe he's being blackmailed.

Blackmailed?

Unbelievable. Why didn't he tell me?

I can't believe he didn't show up today.

Could something really have gone wrong?

I should get going.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure he's cooped up at home.

You're going to his house?

I'm worried, so let me come with you.

It's all right. I'm worried too,

so I'll visit him myself.

It's you I'm worried about.

It's not like I'm going there to make an arrest.

I'll call you after assessing the situation.

Except for a few news briefs,

there hasn't been much of a report...

even though a man died.

Should I be relieved?

Really? Is that how I'm supposed to feel?

Mr. Yook, it's me.

Mr. Yook?

Mr. Yook, you hear me, right?

I know you're in there, so open up.

Come on. Mr. Yook?

Mr. Yook, I hear you're being blackmailed.

Mr. Seo told me everything.

That's why you're being this way.

I don't know what's going on, but you can tell me.

I'm sure there's a way.

Is this how it's going to be?

I'll wait out here until you open the door.

Mr. Yook?

Mr. Yook!

Just...

Are you all right?

No one has been...

blackmailing me.

There's no need to hide it.

Tell me everything and I'll help you.

No.

I don't know what Mr. Seo told you,

but that's not it.

Then what is all this?

Why aren't you at work?

I'm just tremendously sick, that's all.

As if. You're a terrible liar.

It's the truth. I'm sick.

Mr. Yook, are you all right?

I can't believe you tried to fight off a high fever by yourself.

I'm sorry.

There's a lot I'd like to say, but I'll save it for next time.

I got you some porridge and medicine,

so don't skip either one of them.

Right.

I'll get going then.

There's no need to get up. It's all right.

I should.

It's fine. I can find my way out.

- But... - Mr. Yook, it's fine.

Please get some rest.

I want to go to the bathroom.

Goodness. Okay, get up.

Watch your step.

What on earth is all this?

He asked if I could lend him a huge amount of money.

But he seemed nervous. Maybe he's being blackmailed.

(- What is it? Let me help. - I was going to blackmail him.)

(Psychopath Diary)

I think I should resign from the company.

Did he seriously run away?

Do you think I killed Park Moo Suk?

That sly old man. Just how much does he know?

I'm going to burn it so that no one sees it.

Dong Sik, have you perhaps lost anything?

The bar called about something you left behind.

Anyone would say that he's a sweet man.

However, is he really?
