The Witness

1
WINTER OF 2006
That'll be two dollars.
The electricity went out again.
Gosh, my mom isn't here to help.
Where's the lighter?
Excuse me.
The last time there
was a blackout,
the fruit store across
from here got robbed,
and the culprit was never found.
Forget what I said. Good night.
GALAXY MARKE
What on earth?
Why hasn't he left yet?

You hit on me first!
My friends said you did that
because you like me.
Being the bighearted person I am,
I confessed my feelings first.
But you dare respond
by playing hard to get?
I hate it, you know.
Get up. It's late enough.
You should go home.
Whether I go home
or sleep out here
is none of your business.
Who do you think you are?
Why are you curious
as to where I am?
Why do you even call me?
Every time you don't come home,
your mom seeks me out worried.
Give me a piggyback ride.
- What?
- I'm too exhausted to walk,
so carry me home.
Mister,
just be on your way.
It's weird to strike up a
conversation with a stranger.
Do as you wish then.
But you like me.
I know it. I can see it all.
It's obvious to me.
What is it that you know?
What about me do you know about?
Should I tell you
what kind of person I am?
FLOWER OF EVIL
EPISODE 5
We found it inside
the warehouse earlier.
We were wondering if
it belongs to you.
Come in.
Did you perhaps call for a cab?
No, I didn't.
Then what is that taxi doing
at my inn for no reason?
I needed a cab-ride
anyway, so maybe I'll ask.
Get in.
Is it your watch?
Detective Cha?
Sorry?
Should I send it
over to Forensics?
It's nice to see you.
I really wanted to meet you.
How did you manage to
stay hidden so well?
What do you want?
Jung Mi Sook.
Jung Mi Sook.
Ms. Jung Mi Sook. I've
heard of that name before.
"Jung Mi Sook"?
- Isn't it that woman?
- What?
The woman whose
body wasn't found.
My gosh, I'm scared
to even talk about it.
You're right. The last victim
that was killed by Do Min Seok.
My gosh, don't move.
I don't know you
or Jung Mi Sook.
Oh, dear. You don't know?
I'm starting to feel sorry.
Nam Soon Kil ended
up dying for nothing.
Either pick that up
or ignore the call.
- Hello?
- Hey, I know who Jung Mi Sook is.
She was the last victim that
was killed by Do Min Seok.
What?
Don't you get it? The
culprit is her husband.
Where are you right now?
- Me?
- Where are you?
You don't need to
know. Let's hang up.
I bet your baby's pretty big
now. Is it a daughter or a son?
You're on the run for
committing murder,
but you're married with a kid?
I had nothing to do with
Do Min Seok's murders.
It's natural for
you to say that.
But
let me know if you
want compensation.
Who knows?
We might be able
to compromise on
Goodness, what's going on?
Yes, it's mine.
I was wondering where I lost it.
I must've dropped
it in the warehouse.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I'll be off now.
A taxi driver is
assaulting a passenger
in front of an inn
by the fishing place.
We need backup.
What? A criminal
wiretapped the police?
Why don't you just ask
criminals to catch criminals?
- This is so humiliating.
- Don't get too worked up, sir.
First, we need to
catch Park Kyung Choon.
- What about the press?
- We'll have to deal with them.
Choi Jae Seop, that punk.
- Choi Jae Seop.
- Sir!
You punk!
- Sir, calm down.
- Please.
I'm going to kill that punk
and get arrested today.
I solved so many
cases until now.
How could you be like this
just because I made a mistake?
What? "A mistake"?
You're not supposed to make
a mistake! You're a cop!
- Let me go! Let go of me!
- Sir, that's enough.
Okay, let me go. I'll
stop, so let me go already.
Hey, shouldn't you be
investigating right now?
- Let's investigate.
- Okay, sir.
Come here.
How could you humiliate the
entire police force like this?
I have sensitive
hair! Let me go!
How could you get fooled
around by a culprit?
- Let go or I'll do the same.
- Go ahead.
- 1, 2, 3.
- 2, 3.
Let me go.
- How dare you do this to your boss?
- This is just self-defense, sir!
- This is excessive self-defense!
- Please stop
- How dare you
- Will you please
That's enough, you darn coppers!
We need to catch Park
Kyung Choon tonight.
Tomorrow morning, we're going
to be all over the news.
If we want to save face,
we need to at least have
the culprit arrested.
So what's your plan?
Park Kyung Choon
drives a call taxi.
I asked the software
manufacturing company
to give us the vehicle log.
We already have his call logs
and credit card statements.
Team Five is currently
looking into the suspect's
family and financial status.
Listen carefully. We need
to catch him no matter what.
If he gets arrested by someone
from another police station,
or you fail to bring
him to me by tonight,
I'll shave your heads
starting with you.
And don't tell anyone
that we got wiretapped.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Hurry up and catch him. I'm
sick of you all. Get to work.
- Hey, bring me the files.
- Okay.
Let's go.
My gosh.
Where are you right now?
We got a report saying a taxi
driver kidnapped a civilian.
So we're on our way to check.
We're going to trace Park
Kyung Choon's taxi soon.
Make sure you go there as
soon as we get the location.
Okay, sir.
Do Hyun Su!
Hey, Ji Won.
About that watch that the
constable found for you
- What?
- Since when did you
carry around an extra watch?
I brought it with me
to mend the strap, but I
forgot it was in my pocket.
I never saw it before.
When did you buy it?
It looked pretty expensive.
It's my husband's.
I asked him to give it to
me so I could take it
to the repair shop
on my way to work.
But earlier, you
said it was yours.
I just said that because
it's my husband's.
Why are you obsessing
over something so trivial?
Now is not the time for that.
But Ji Won
Will you please stop?
What is it? What's your problem?
Why are you so curious
about a darn watch?
No, that's not what
I was going to say.
You're not wearing your
seatbelt. Fasten your seatbelt.
You didn't even listen to
what I was going to say.
My gosh, again?
Make sure you don't get
hurt again. You're all done.
Whatever.
I'm not the Kim Moo Jin
you used to know, sir.
The person you gave
stitches to today
didn't get stitches for
falling off a cultivator
like he did when he was little.
I got hurt while trying to catch
a murderer. You should know that.
That man searched all
over the neighborhood
to find his wife's corpse.
I can't believe he ended
up killing someone.
It's all because he's
sick in the mind.
I'm going to get back to my job.
The cops need to hurry
up and catch Do Hyun Su.
What does he have
anything to do with this?
The cops need to catch him
in order to find the body.
Why?
Gosh, you're being
so frustrating.
He went around killing people
with his dad, so he should know
where the body is.
Sir, that's what you
call witch-hunting.
The cops already
settled the case
saying it was a one-man crime
committed by Do Min Seok.
Gosh. Hyun Su isn't
a serial killer.
He's a regular killer.
What are you talking about?
He did it with his father.
You shouldn't punish family
members of a criminal.
That's not the trend anymore.
What kind of a
reporter is this dense?
Seriously. You're educated enough.
You shouldn't mislead people.
Do you really not know?
What?
That
You're so frustrating.
I'm the one who's frustrated.
What? What don't I know? What?
Was it this man?
Yes, it was him.
He beat up my guest
and dragged him away.
It was frightening.
Yes, Chief. It was
Park Kyung Choon.
Did you know the victim?
No. He looked like an outsider.
He said he was here
just to get away.
How did he pay?
- With cash.
- Did he ask for a receipt?
No, he didn't.
My gosh. It must be his phone.
This is the spot where
it all went down.
What's wrong?
What do I do now?
I think the abduction victim
is my husband.
What? What are
you talking about?
I don't know what
I'm saying either.
But this is Hee Seong's phone.
What? But how?
Is this the person
who was abducted?
Yes, it was him. I'm positive.
Hello, Detective Choi.
Park Kyung Choon is still close
to the town. Where are yo?
At an inn by a fishing spot.
Can you locate Park
Kyung Choon's cab?
What are you waiting
for? Get in your car!
Please clear a path.
Ji Won.
Park Kyung Choon
isn't even speeding.
Okay, he's relaxed.
Take the road toward the reservoir
and step on it. You can catch him.
Ji Won, slow down.
Ji Won.
Ho Joon. Wake up. Ho Joon!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No.
Sorry.
I forgot you were sitting there.
I must've snapped.
What's wrong with me?
We don't have time for this.
We have to find Hee Seong.
Yes, we do.
So tell me. What do I not know?
What do I not know?
Why are you so impatient?
Hold on.
It's time for my medicine.
I'll tell you after I take this.
Sit down.
So
Well
Are you okay?
I'm with the Yeonju
Police Station.
I'd like to speak with you
regarding the break-in,
robbery, and assault
of Oh Bok Ja.
Please give us your statement.
- Okay.
- Hey, Kyung Shik.
You tell him.
What?
He was on the team
that investigated
the serial murder.
And he's a reporter in Seoul.
You tell him the story.
He refuses to leave until I do.
What story?
You know. That.
Oh. That.
Doctor.
You can't tell
that to civilians.
It was over 18 years
ago. What's the big deal?
Well
It's You know.
Yes, it is.
I'm going mad.
Fill me in too! Come on!
A witness.
A witness?
What witness?
Baek Hee Seong.
Baek Hee Seong.
So Do Hyun Su has a
driver's license
by the name of Baek Hee Seong.
I wonder why.
You gained a new identity.
Who would've imagined, right?
A serial killer
changed his identity,
got married,
and even had a child.
And it seems like
you regularly trimmed your hair.
Should I make you more jealous?
I own a two-story
house in Seoul.
It's mine.
Although,
the bank owns more
of it at the moment.
You dare to laugh?
It's just pathetic.
What's so pathetic?
The one you wanted
revenge on died.
So his son Do Hyun Su seemed
like the perfect target
to excrete all the anger
you were yet to unleash.
"He's just like his father."
"He's been possessed
by an evil spirit."
"He was in a mental
institution."
"He's soulless."
"The two only kept
to themselves."
- The two only kept to themselves.
- He's just like his father.
- He's been possessed.
- He was in a mental institution.
"He was aware of his
father's crimes."
"They were accomplices!"
No?
So the rumors are true.
Are you not scared of anything?
I could
kill you in a
heartbeat, you know.
An opponent who I
can see through?
Why would I be scared of him?
It's kind of boring.
But you still feel pain.
I
will inflict pain on you until
you tell me what I want to know.
Tell me.
Where's Jung Mi Sook?
That was close enough.
What?
Say that again.
That was
Revenge?
You failed miserably.
Killing me would be a failure
and so will severing my limbs
as well as putting
holes in my body.
Why?
Because you can't
possibly prove
what I didn't do
or that I didn't even
know of this incident.
Understand?
What you'll do to me is obvious.
However,
how that'll ruin you forever
is what intrigues me.
So show me.
Are you all right? Tell
me that you're okay!
We're good.
But Park Kyung Choon
We need to find him fast.
We set up more checkpoints,
and detectives are staking out
outside his house, place of work,
and the residents of
his acquaintances.
We requested his recent route
sheet, so we'll have something soon.
What's important though is
the identity of his victim.
I think it's my husband.
What? What are
you talking about?
My husband is who he abducted.
What? Why?
I don't know. I have no idea.
Right now, I have no answers.
I don't even know why Hee
Seong was at that inn.
The owner said he
was on vacation.
Jae Seop, what should I do?
Give me an order. I need
to do at least something.
If I don't, I might
completely lose it.
That rat. How dare he go
after a family member of ours!
Tell me what to do!
- Ji Won, please calm down.
- How am I supposed to calm down?
An abduction means he had
a place to take his victim.
He's a taxi driver.
Derelict factories
and buildings
as well as residential
areas being redeveloped.
There are hundreds of
places he could go.
We'll be able to pinpoint a
location once we have his routes.
Once we have them?
Of course.
Yes, you'll find the place
along with my
dismembered husband!
- Ji Won
- Jae Seop.
It's my husband I need to
find, not Park Kyung Choon.
Alive, as well!
You saw how Park Kyung
Choon killed Nam Soon Kil.
We're doing our best.
You of all people know that.
You've handled your fair
share of culprits like him.
You're the one who caught the
Jooa-dong kidnapper last year
even before we had a suspect.
That was my hunch
doing its best work.
My eyes locked gazes with
his while questioning him
and goosebumps shot up my arm.
So you followed him
everywhere to find evidence.
I'm sure these men
have certain habits.
Rather than sitting around,
there must be
something we can do.
I need you to think.
What else can we
do right now but
Give me a second.
Why
What made me suspect him?
Why? Ji Won
Yes, I remember now.
You two.
Meet me at Park Kyung
Choon's house right now.
Abducted?
Who abducted my son?
We're certain that
it was the suspect
of the Chinese
restaurant murder case
and are conducting our search.
What does he have to
do with Baek Hee Seong?
Why on earth did
he abduct our son?
Have you heard of
the name Do Hyun Su?
No, I haven't heard
that name before.
Do Hyun Su has been on the run
ever since he was suspected
of killing a village foreman
18 years ago in Yeonju City.
Do you perhaps remember
the serial killings
that took place there?
No, I don't.
Yes, I do.
I think I vaguely remember.
Do Hyun Su is the son
of the serial killer,
Do Min Seok.
So So what?
What does Do Hyun Su have
anything to do with this?
The guy who abducted your
son has only one target.
It's Do Hyun Su.
It looks like he's trying to
frame Do Hyun Su for murder
so that the police will
start looking for him.
And we're guessing that's
why your son got abducted.
So what is that person
planning to do with Do Hyun Su?
Honey.
Let's leave the case
to the detectives.
Our utmost priority right now
is to rescue your son.
And for safety measures,
we're going to have detectives on
standby so they can protect you.
Okay, I understand.
Please
do your best to save my son.
Okay, sir.
The conversation went a
lot easier than expected.
- What?
- Normally,
when someone gets abducted,
it's very hard to have
a conversation with
the victim's family.
They beg us to save and
rescue their child
and get angry at us for
not doing a better job.
I also thought it was weird.
They seemed more
interested in the case
than the well-being
of their son.
Well, we're not their family,
so it's hard to know
what kind of relationship
they have with their son.
Let's go.
This is driving me crazy.
What in the world
has he been doing?
What did I tell you?
I told you it'd be better
to have him live with us.
That wouldn't have changed much.
We knew what we were
getting ourselves into
when we took him in despite
his complicated background.
The culprit knew Hee
Seong was Do Hyun Su.
I'm sure of it.
What are we going to do now?
Once the culprit gets caught,
people will find out that
Hyun Su lived as Hee Seong.
If something happens to us,
who will take care of Hee Seong?
The culprit
will kill Do Hyun Su.
What?
Listen to me carefully.
If Hyun Su dies,
we will be the only
ones who know the truth.
We'll just be a pitiful, old
couple who got used by him
because he knew our weakness.
We'll just say we
didn't know anything.
We didn't know he was a
serial murderer's son
or that he was a wanted
criminal for a murder case.
We'll say we didn't even
know that he was Do Hyun Su.
People will come around
and understand us.
How long do you
think you have
until your lungs become
a pair of water balloons?
The good news
is that you still have
time to change yourself.
I told you.
I can't prove what I don't know.
May 12, 2002.
It was Sunday, and the
weather was beautiful.
It was the kind of
day that made you
want to go outside for
a picnic or a date.
What did you do that day?
Are you joking
with me right now?
That was when Mi
Sook disappeared.
It was a black SUV. The
license plate number was 3194.
Mi Sook was in that car on
the day she disappeared.
I'm sure you know very well
since that was your father's car.
My gosh, where is this from?
Sir, let me pour you
a bottle of wine from France.
Hey, we were only going to drink
just a little bit. This is too much.
Who knew we'd click so well?
You're right.
But I feel like I talked
way too much today.
Don't tell me you're using
me to get what you want.
What do you take me for?
Okay.
Here. Okay?
And what else?
- Where did it go?
- What?
Where's my recorder? I'm
sure I put it in here.
Hey, you're being suspicious.
Sir, you got yourself
a search warrant.
Go ahead and search
me all you want.
Are you sure about that?
Gosh, forget it. I
trust you. Sit down.
Here.
Drink up. Let's drink.
I'll make you blackout
no matter what.
Sir, I need to go
to the bathroom.
Okay.
May May 12, 2002.
The year 2002.
May 12.
At 2am.
Sehyun 2-dong.
And the witness. Jang Young Hee.
MAY 12, 2002, 2AM, SEHYUN
2-DONG, JANG YOUNG HEE
Worked at JNQ Hotel.
This is getting
really interesting.
It was 2:30am at Sehyun
2-dong intersection.
Someone saw Mi Sook
being forced to get
in Do Min Seok's car.
The witness memorized the
license plate number
and called the cops.
And Do Min Seok
got investigated.
But he got acquitted.
That's because his son
made sure his father
had a solid alibi.
If Do Min Seok got
arrested that day,
Mi Sook wouldn't have died.
That was the last
chance to save Mi Sook.
I just told them the truth.
I was with my dad
starting from the morning of
that day until the next morning.
I told them where we
were by 10 minutes,
and my statement always
remained the same.
If you're telling the truth,
that means Do Min Seok's
car went around
abducting people on its own.
That's pretty common, isn't it?
The witness was drunk.
And she changed her statement.
Why are you leaving that out?
My statement stayed consistent.
But the witness
changed what she said.
She told the cops
she can't remember.
Killing me
won't complete your imagination.
How How do you have
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
Mi Sook had the same one.
But Nam Soon Kil told
me this belonged to you.
Why?
Why are you suddenly so silent?
Tell me!
Who would have something
that Mi Sook had on her just
before she went missing?
Who?
Who would it be?
DO MIN SEOK
Hyun Su.
What's this?
A goldfish brings luck.
Keep it on you at all times.
Ms. Do Hae Su.
Ms. Do Hae Su. I'd like
an interview, please!
The people have
the right to know.
Do Hyun Su is back
in the spotlight.
Some suspect that you're
helping your brother escape.
- She's coming out!
- She's coming out!
- She's coming out!
- She's coming out!
Please leave.
I don't know anything.
When Do Min Seok was committing
the serial murders, you were 19.
Did you really not know that
your father was a serial killer?
No, I didn't.
After it was revealed that your
father was a serial killer,
and your brother fled after
killing the village foreman,
you entered an art school.
A very prestigious art school.
Please say a word to
the victims' families.
Sorry.
Wait! If you're not
helping Do Hyun Su flee,
why don't you show
your face proudly?
I can tell you're pretty.
Sorry.
Open the door!
Ms. Do Hae Su?
She doesn't seem sorry.
She is pretty though.
I thought about why I
was fixated on him
during the Jooa-dong
kidnapping case.
And I remembered the reason.
He lived in a town that
was being redeveloped,
but his door lock
was way too fancy.
It was obviously
recently installed.
He was moving out soon,
but it had an auto-lock feature
and a fingerprint scanner.
Park Kyung Choon would've
needed a lock as well
to keep his hideout secure.
That's right. He would've
hired a locksmith
and paid him.
We'll find something
if we search his home.
Explain it to me.
How did you get something
that belonged to Mi Sook?
Why? Why can't you
say anything? Why?
You were yapping well until
now without batting an eye.
So why Why can't
you explain this?
Tell me.
Where's Mi Sook?
Over there.
Spread out.
Look at this.
Find the rest of the number.
Here.
CALL FOR A CONSULTATION
Yes, I remember.
Construction had stopped
there for a while already,
so I thought it was odd
that he wanted a door lock.
Just tell me where
you buried Mi Sook.
Then I'll let you live.
I don't know.
You were born into this
world as a human being.
So you should live as one
at least for one
moment. Don't you agree?
In that dark,
damp, and cold place,
she's waiting for me
to get her out.
She must be so anxious.
Please, tell me. I beg you.
Please tell me.
It wasn't me.
It's his cab.
Call for backup and
block this exit.
We've located Park Kyung
Choon. Requesting backup.
Get back!
Park Kyung Choon, you are
under arrest for the murder
of Nam Soon Kil, and the abducting
and false imprisonment
of Baek Hee Seong.
Get over here.
Park Kyung Choon!
Shoot him.
Drop the knife.
Drop the knife!
Shoot him. Just shoot!
Yes, shoot.
Let's see who dies.
Shoot. Shoot him.
Out of my way.
Move!
Detective Choi, stay with me.
Detective!
Should I tell you
what kind of person I am?
I never graduated high school.
Why not?
No reason. I had a
hard time adjusting.
I was even in a gang once.
Back then, I spent all my
days getting into fights.
Have you punched
a person before?
No.
I've punched a guy
to the point
where I wasn't even aware
of my scrapped knuckles.
It actually felt
good.
Also
I see things that I shouldn't.
I'm not normal in the head.
What exactly do you see?
A dead person.
You must've loved that person.
My dead grandmother popped
into my dreams once.
"Grandma, you can go now."
"Stop worrying about
me and rest in peace."
She heard me and walked away.
You really are
quite dense.
You feel bad because you
have nothing to offer me?
I don't know how
to feel that way.
You only have one problem.
You don't see yourself
in the way I see you.
I'll like you a lot
from here on out.
I'll be there for you.
I'll teach you everything
you don't know.
Then one day, things
will change for you.
You'd be surprised.
Unbelievable.
You're doing it
again with that gaze.
My heart just skipped a beat.
But still, you say that you
don't feel the same way.
You're
a mystery to me.
Does that mean
you like me?
The mood couldn't be better,
and there's nothing more to say,
so let's kiss.
Father,
you can go now.
I want to stay here.
So please Please go.
What do we do now?
How about a drink?
Hee Seong!
Please help!
I always thought
that I was lucky
to have met you.
But
for the first time,
I'm thinking you
should've never met me.
Yes.
I finally know what it means.
I'm
sorry.
