Flower of Evil (Akui Kkot / 악의 꽃)

Eun Ha,

we're your mom and dad.

Eun Ha?

Why are you crying?

Just because she's so beautiful.

I'm thankful for her being born,

and I'm sorry.

I don't know. It's difficult to explain with words.

What are you thinking, honey?

Worry.

What worries?

That she won't like me.

What are you saying? You're her dad.

Aw, she's crying.

Why is she crying all of a sudden?

She must be like us.

She's excited, panicked, and scared.

She has a lot to say, but it's difficult to explain with words.

Eun Ha! Shhh.

[Ilsin Hospital's 21st Overseas Medical Volunteer Program Launching Ceremony in 2019]

Commemorative bracelet for Ilsin Hospital's Overseas Medical Volunteer Program...

Ilsin University Hospital?

Hospital Director Baek Man Woo.

Let me go and speak.

Choi Jae Seob, let go of that hand.

What are you doing?

You knew all along, didn't you?

You knew everything

and you manipulated us all this time.

You deceived us.

Choi Jae Seob, have you gone mad? Let her go.

Let go of her!

Are you alright?

Detective Choi, why in the world are you doing this?

It's my fault. Detective Choi didn't do anything wrong.

Choi Jae Seob.

Follow me.

Detective Cha, what's going on?

I'll be back after we speak briefly.

How did you find out?

I don't even know where to begin explaining—

Don't.

I won't listen to your excuses or explanations.

Just answer my question. When did you know?

While investigating Park Kyung Choon's case.

Right, it seemed that way.

Does Do Hyun Soo know that you know?

He doesn't.

Let's do it like this.

You didn't know anything.

The proof I obtained is sufficient enough to prove that Baek Hee Seong is Do Hyun Soo.

I won't get you tangled in this.

You're Do Hyun Soo's biggest victim.

You didn't know which way to go with it, and that's why things came this far. I'm right, aren't I?

Cha Ji Won! The emotions you're feeling right now are not real.

The situation is too shocking for you to handle, so you feel for the perpetrator

and your subconscious is trying to lessen the shock. You know that rationally.

No, it's not that.

The truth is different. I know it.

What happened to the real Baek Hee Seong?

Do you also know that?

The person who had his identity taken from him, do you think he's safe and sound?

It's something Baek Hee Seong's parents helped with.

The parents gave him their son's identity themselves.

That person,

he is definitely not someone who would hurt another person.

Do you have proof?

Not your trust, but proof.

Sunbae, please let this go just this once.

Just pretend you don't know, I beg of you.

Are you serious?

I will vouch for him with my life.

If he gets caught by the police, he'll become a spectacle.

"The son of a serial killer, a psychopath, married to a police officer."

It's obvious how the world would look at him.

They will all be too happy to watch him like an animal in the zoo and throw rocks at him.

You know as well, that no one cares for the boring truth.

How can I watch that? How can I just stand by and watch that?

You may resent me now,

but in the end, you'll be thankful towards me.

Sunbae, please.

Tonight, I'll take care of Yeom Sang Chul,

and tomorrow morning I'll arrest Do Hyun Soo.

I can't just leave you like that, so...

You just stay out of it.

Until the entire situation is over,

keep your eyes closed to it.

Sunbae, Sunbae.

Sunbae.

Once I hand over the money, we'll proceed to the second location.

There, we'll exchange the person.

The police have to come in at that time.

If a situation arises where I cannot give the location to the police,

then you have to do it.

How would I do that?

What's this?

It's a radio receiver.

I hid a listening device in the bag of money.

Of course, it's not visible to the naked eye.

What will you do if they use a detector?

You said they told you not to bring any telecommunication equipment.

You're here?

There's nothing, sir.

Have a seat.

What will you do if they use a detector?

It's simple.

I just have to wait until later to turn it on.

It's quite nice.

Hey kid, count this.

Yes, sir.

So, where do I need to go for the goods?

What's the rush? Let me finish counting the money.

Yeah, Hae Soo.

How's it going?

Well, for now it's still going smoothly.

Did something happen?

I think I found something.

What?

I'll explain the details later.

But first, Moo Jin,

I have a favor to ask.

As soon as the informant obtains the location of the human trafficking site, he will inform us.

We expect the exchange will happen without Yeom Sang Chul or Seong Jae Goo.

Lee Tae Seob, Jin Chang Jin,

Oh Gwang Sik, and Park Jang Soo

are expected to be in charge of the transaction.

Please remember their names and faces.

Detective Cha won't be joining us today.

Oh.

What the heck is going on?

Her daughter has been hospitalized.

Eun Ha?

Yeah. It seems like she's really sick. It's been like that since morning but she wasn't able to tell us.

She hasn't been able to go to the hospital either.

I told her to go to the hospital.

They said my daughter is okay.

You don't have to worry.

- You. - My mother said she's sleeping at home.

Thank you for your concern.

Ji Won. I don't think this is the time for you to be here like this.

You should just do as I say.

I can't step out of this operation no matter what happens.

Why?

Because it's my case.

Memorize it.

Jaerim road, 57th street, #37.

Everything should be ready there. All you need to do is retrieve it.

Jaerim road, 57th street, #37.

Do Hyun Soo According to the informant, the three victims that have been kidnapped

I got a call. It's the informant.

This is Cha Ji Won.

Um, this is Do Hyun Soo.

Yes, speak.

It's at Jaerim road, 57th street, #37.

They said that the kidnapped victims are already there and

Yeom Sang Chul's people are waiting.

The location has been confirmed.

Jaerim-gu, Jaerim road, 57th street, #37.

We will give you the address again by text. Let's go.

- Yes, understood. - Let's go.

Let's go.

You stay.

And make up whatever excuse you can to take your hands off this operation. That's the right thing to do.

You know better than anyone.

I want to solve this case more than anyone.

That's the problem. You're too emotionally involved.

We even called for backup,

and you want me to just sit and wait in the office?

Would you be able to do that if you were me?

Tonight, our goal is

to catch every single one of Yeom Sang Chul's men.

And Do Hyun Soo will only contact me.

Do you still think you won't need me?

Answer me. I'll do as you say.

What about the information about the accomplice?

Of course I prepared it.

His picture, name, and even his address.

Time out.

Wow, who can this be? It's been a while!

I don't think this is the time for you to be greeting me with such an enthusiastic voice.

I have no idea what you're saying.

I'll get right to the point.

I'll give you two reasons why you need to get rid of the guy sitting in front of you.

First,

that guy Do Hyun Soo is working with the police.

I see.

Second,

I'll give you double the money you received from Do Hyun Soo.

Double?

Gosh.

I forgot who was above me and almost made a grave mistake.

That guy is living under an alias and hiding his own identity.

Even if he is colluding with the police, he can never meet them in person.

He won't have gone there with the police.

Okay.

Thank you so much for your call.

Yes, goodbye.

Hey kid. Take all the money in the safe and put it in a bag.

We should wrap things up here.

I think you should tell me what's going on.
