Flower of Evil (Akui Kkot / 악의 꽃)

What's so funny?

These clothes are new, and so are these shoes,

plus it took me an hour to do my hair.

I've got no luck. What kind of first date is this?

Date?

If people who like each other hang out then it's a date. What else would it be?

I'm not interested in you.

Then why are you hanging out with me?

On a precious day off?

That's...

I figured you'd bother me less if I hang out with you once.

I'm hurt.

Let's go.

The owner of the chicken restaurant said that

anytime I walk by, you stare.

Fifth grader Seon Woo asked me while he bought a popsicle stick

if I was dating the man from the workshop.

Maybe...

you're the only one that doesn't know

that you like me.

Ugh, I'm frustrated. Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses gets rained on for 30 seconds.

I won't play. I don't do useless things like that.

If you don't play, you lose. Rock, paper, scissors!

You lost!

What are you doing? Go.

Oppa!

What's wrong?

You know, you're really weird.

Why do you like me? Why me?

I really don't get you.

How could you like a guy like me?

Never mind. What can I say to you?

I'm leaving.

Why did you have to get married and create this mess?

How many times did I tell you to go live abroad?

Marriage? A person like you wants to live like other people?

If you want to die, die alone.

If we're exposed—

Just the thought of it is terrible.

Just watch if something like that happens. I'll die right in front of your eyes.

Calm down.

Nothing has happened yet.

First, take this.

His name is Nam Soon Gil. He's someone I had some trouble with in the past.

I think that's why things got a little complicated.

I'm sorry for hitting you.

Did it hurt?

It's fine.

Why can't I fix this damn habit?

Next time I'm agitated, tie my hands first.

Your wife. She doesn't know anything, right?

She's in charge of this case.

What?!

I-I told you! I warned you!

She's going to create a disaster.

If it comes to that, we'll be able to handle the matter more quickly.

I didn't like her from the start. Be careful of her.

She's two-faced.

How could you get married to a person like that?

The culprit was caught on CCTV and even left blood on the scene.

It will definitely be resolved.

You know it too.

Just because they chase Do Hyun Soo doesn't mean they can reach Baek Hee Seong.

As long as you are on my side as you have been, Mother.

Get going.

Okay.

The house is too big.

It's too big for just the two of us to live in.

You can come once in a while and have a meal if you want.

But it's not just you two.

I'll get going.

Your son's meal...?

I'll do it.

Hee Seong.

This is Do Min Seok's copy of registry and Do Hyun Soo's family certificate.

Do Min Seok has a daughter. [Parents: Do Min Seok (dead); Woo Mi Yeon (dead). Sister: Do Hae Soo, '84.]

Yes. She's Do Hyun Soo's older sister.

She's the same age as you, Sunbae.

Then you can meet her, Ji Won.

I met the victim's family.

I will leave the suspect's family to you, Detective Choi.

I'm really jealous of your easy-going face.

My charisma makes people uncomfortable.

Put simply, it's unpleasant.

Stay right there.

Enough chattering.

Verify Do Hae Soo's contact information and home address.

I'll do that.

How is it? It doesn't hurt anymore, right?

It doesn't really hurt but...

the smell is a little strange.

It smells slightly toxic. It's harmless, right?

It's the smell of liquid latex. It has almost zero toxicity.

Miss Do Hae Soo.

About this. Is it not possible to make it look more recent? A little more fresh?

Have you seen a murdered corpse in real life?

Huh?

Nan Hee, give me the blood.

Here you go.

Teacher, you've got a call.

Hello?

Is this Miss Do Hae Soo?

I'm Detective Cha Ji Won from the Kangsoo Station Violent Crimes team.

Miss Do Hae Soo?

I'm Detective Cha Ji Won. I called earlier.

How did you know?

Do I resemble Do Min Seok?

No. It was just my instincts.

You came quickly.

The set was closer than I thought.

Here's my business card.

I don't know.

- Excuse me? - I don't know anything.

I haven't seen Hyun Soo once since he disappeared in 2002.

For 18 years, I've met the police countless times and repeated those words countless times.

Can I leave now?

That's not what I wanted to ask, though.

The value of Do Min Seok's confirmed assets alone

is about 900 million won.

The house in Paju, the craft shop in Gagyeong-ri, and even the summer house in Taehan.

You've sold all the land but why did you leave the buildings alone?

It seems as if you're leaving a safe haven for Do Hyun Soo.

The police must investigate with their imagination these days.

I used the land to compensate the victims' families.

Besides that, I have no interest in that monster's money.

I haven't seen my Hyun Soo even once in the past 18 years.

How many times do I have to say it for you to believe me?

"My Hyun Soo?"

As you faced the police and the media alone for 18 years,

you should have been very resentful of your brother.

For some reason,

you seem sad, Miss Do Hae Soo.

I've been away from work for too long.

It seems there isn't anything I can help with.

Where did the real Baek Hee Seong go?

[Ilsin University Hospital Director Baek Man Woo expands medical support for low-income households.]

Huh?

[Ilsin University Hospital Director Baek Man Woo expands medical support for low-income households.]

He's the son of a hospital director?

Gifted mathematician Baek Hee Seong?

The son of a serial killer properly elevated his status.

- What are you doing? - Oh my gosh.

You scared me, Team Leader.

It's your fault for not watching your back.

You know, the most annoying superior is one that monitors from behind.

A great employee is not ashamed of being monitored.

I picked it up on my way here.

This one's the father's case. This one's the son's case.

It was hard to get.

I'm expecting an exclusive.

How's the police investigation going?

- Honey, here. - Huh?

Can you try it on?

- Why? - Hurry up and wear it.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Because of the Chinese restaurant case.

You came in like this yesterday.

What about it? Raincoats like this are common.

Or do you think I went out in the middle of the night and committed murder?

What are you saying?

When you came in like this yesterday, I couldn't recognize you for a moment and I was scared.

But how did Nam Soon Gil recognize him at once?

The culprit was even using a mask.

Maybe he was mistaken.

No. The culprit has to be Do Hyun Soo.

Why?

I have to catch Do Hyun Soo to get a promotion, and also to solve a long-term cold case.

You should go to sleep first. I have a lot to do.

I want to sleep here today. I don't want to sleep alone.

Do as you wish.

Did they really not know?

What?

Did the children really not know that their dad was a serial killer?

In particular, I think Do Hyun Soo's antisocial behavior could have been highly influenced by his father.

Anyway, it's a good case.

What?

I mean that it's good research material on the hereditary factor in antisocial personality disorders.

So? Do you think you'll catch the culprit soon?

We have the DNA, so once we confirm his face it'll be just a matter of time. It's not easy, though.

The second best way is what we call a police sketch. We'll use a facial composite.

There's someone who can confirm Do Hyun Soo's appearance.

Who's that?

The owner of the Chinese restaurant Do Hyun Soo worked at.

Where in the world did he go after that?

How could he have disappeared without a trace?

Honey, stop looking at that and rest a little bit.

I can't. Once I lie down it's hard to get back up.

Don't just look at the documents. Look at my face, too.

- Come here. - Oh.

Oh my. Was my husband always this handsome?

Hm, you forgot my face already?

No way. I can tell who you are from just your shadow.

Gosh, my poor wife. Look at these dark circles.

This won't do. I'm going to put you to sleep.

No, I can't feel sleepy.

I really shouldn't.

Then should I sleep for just five minutes?

- Ji Won. - Yeah?

I guess Reporter Kim Moo Jin will take part in testifying for that facial composite.
