The Judge from Hell

CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS,

AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS

FILMED IN SAFE SITUATIONS

[Justitia] Defendant,

your final statement, please.

I know I won't see her again,

but I want to say

that I really loved Minjeong.

The defendant is hereby ordered

to pay a fine of three million won.

-[spectators gasp]

-[Daon] Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you!

[spectators whispering indistinctly]

[Minjeong] Please, let me go.

[Jeongjun] I'll be back. Stay pretty.

She's dead.

EPISODE 2

Shall we go talk somewhere quiet?

What would we have to talk about?

Come on. It won't be long.

Okay.

[dramatic music playing]

[tires screeching]

[Jeongjun] What brings you here,

Detective?

-You know why.

-I don't.

[Jeongjun groans]

I told you clearly

to stay away from Cha Minjeong.

Actually

Mom left when I was in high school.

Dad kicked me out when he remarried.

It's because I grew up without parents.

[Daon] Shut up!

Not every orphan is like you.

So are you going to hit me?

That won't do you good.

Yeah. I'll beat you to a pulp

and resign.

It will really be

abuse of authority this time.

Let go.

[siren blaring]

[Donghun] Daon! Stop!

Aren't you Judge Kang?

-We meet again.

-Right.

-Do we arrest him without a warrant?

-He has to come on his own.

[Eunseop] Will you come with us

on suspicion of stalking Ms. Cha?

You may refuse

and can leave during the transfer.

You also have the right to an attorney.

What'll it be? Clock's ticking.

I'll go.

-Let's go.

-Where?

[siren blaring]

[Judge Kang] Can you get rid of that?

I thought you didn't believe in God.

But you have a cross in your car?

You don't believe in God

but want to go to Heaven?

Is that it?

I don't want to go to Heaven.

You mean you can't.

People who raise their fists first

go to Hell.

And your car is weird like you.

Why were you at Moon Jeongjun's place?

[clears throat]

To monitor him.

To make sure the person I released

is being good.

It's like a follow-up service.

-But where are we going?

-To do some follow-up service.

-[engine revs]

-[Judge Kang gasps]

[Minjeong's screaming replayed]

[Minjeong] Please, let me go.

[screams]

[Jeongjun] But can I k*ll

your parents instead?

-I just asked you a question.

-[Minjeong screams]

[grunting in pain]

LOVE YOU TO DEATH

MINE FOREVER!

[Jeongjun] How pretty.

I'll be back. Stay pretty.

See the results of your ruling?

Are you sorry now?

Not at all.

[scoffs]

Had you not released him with just a fine,

she wouldn't have been attacked.

What if I gave him one year?

This wouldn't have happened in a year?

At the very least,

the victim and her family

wouldn't have felt that

the law had abandoned them.

Your ruling was a secondary offense.

I merely made a ruling based on the law.

Stop pestering a blameless person

and resent the laws instead.

But it's you who ruled based on that law.

Countless people have lost their lives

from cases like this.

They appear in the news

and the public is outraged.

I'm talking about terrible crimes

and lenient punishments.

[scoffs]

And everyone forgets about the dead.

And when someone dies again,

it starts all over again.

Is that my fault?

We'll apply for

an arrest warrant for Moon Jeongjun.

[chuckles]

Is an arrest investigation necessary?

A few visits to the station

should suffice.

That's up to me, the detective, to decide.

He won't be released so easily this time.

Because not all judges will be like you.

[Daon] You broke into

Ms. Cha's place, right?

[Jeongjun] No. Minjeong opened the door.

[Daon] She asked you to come in?

Yes.

And you admit to assaulting Ms. Cha?

Do I have to answer this

when I'm here voluntarily?

Why did you bring this?

In case Minjeong needed something

to nail while I was gone.

After you left,

Minjeong hung herself in the living room.

Is she dead? No, right?

Didn't you want her dead?

What happened to Minjeong?

She's alive.

[officer] Please be understanding.

[Daon] Excuse me.

I'm opening it. One, two

Ms. Cha! Ms. Cha!

Ms. Cha, you can't do this!

Cut her down! Hurry!

[Mrs. Cha] Minjeong! Ah!

[screams]

Oh, my God!

[Mrs. Cha crying] We told you

to come home with us.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Mom.

[sniffs] I'm sorry.

But can you please let me go?

[sobbing] I don't want to live anymore.

[shudders]

That's a relief.

I can't live without her.

She tried to die because of you.

She's a bit overdramatic.

And every couple fights.

Why must the state

intervene in our lovers' quarrel?

Fine. When you're in court,

repeat that nonsense.

That dating abuse

is just a lovers' quarrel.

It's been six hours now. Can I go?

-Park Donghun.

-Yes?

Get an arrest warrant.

Provisional measures, too.

Yes, ma'am.

Is an arrest investigation possible?

He almost k*lled her.

What kind of judge wouldn't approve it?

[Detective Kim] What the hell

is that b*stard looking at?

I should rip his eyes out.

I'll get him.

[Donghun] Hey. Come here.

Damn it!

We should have

kept a closer eye on her place.

That was my misjudgment.

You did your best.

Eunseop's right.

He's the bad guy.

-Han Daon.

-Yes?

Don't let him out of your sight.

Yes, ma'am.

-Here.

-[Eunseop] Yeah.

BABE, ARE YOU OKAY? I'M SO

[Daon] Come on. I'll take you home.

[chuckles] I'm fine.

I'm not.

Just come.

[mutters] Darn it. He catches on quick.

Hey, Moon Jeongjun.

I'm going to sleep

in front of your house every night.

Don't even think about leaving.

[Jeongjun spits]

[Daon sighs]

[voice operator] This number is

She's not home and won't pick up.

Where is she?

Jus I mean, Judge Kang.

What happened?

You look terrible.

What happened last night?

[whispers] Did you take care of it?

Does it look like I did? Does it?

[Judge Kang sighs]

Judge Kang.

Ah. That shower felt so good.

Here.

-Seriously?

-Right.

[Mando] Here.

But what happened?

You didn't leave her to die, did you?

-She's alive.

-What?

Then [exhales]

It's over for this case, right?

Having a pulse doesn't mean she's alive.

Her mental state's all messed up,

and she has no will to live.

Breathing isn't living.

Still, a doctor has to determine her death

for her to be dead.

Are we defining life or death

by human standards?

Then why am I here?

Right. You're right.

Still, Moon Jeongjun

didn't k*ll her himself

Mental m*rder is also m*rder.

Yes, you're right.

But Han Daon's the bigger problem.

I feel like he keeps getting in my way.

Just get rid of him, then.

Don't you know

I can only send those who've k*lled?

Justitia, go to the human world,

punish ten murderers who are unrepentant

and unforgiven,

take their lives, and send them to Hell.

You have one year.

[sighs in frustration]

Just leave Han Daon alone.

He is a pain in the butt,

but the way he challenges me

is kind of adorable.

Adorable? Justitia, don't tell me

-No. So shut up.

-Yes.

[Mando clears throat]

Either way, this case is a fail, right?

If the arrest warrant is rejected,

maybe not.

[laughs] Come on. You think

there's another terrible judge like you?

[laughing]

[stops laughing abruptly]

You really think there isn't?

[scoffs]

[Eunseop] Detective Kim,

the arrest warrant's been rejected.

What? Rejected?

-Yes.

-What's the reason?

He agreed to come in and cooperated.

He's not a flight risk.

[Detective Kim slams desk]

[Donghun] Seriously?

What the hell is this crap?

If it were that judge's daughter,

this wouldn't happen.

Daon, go watch over

Ms. Cha and her family.

Yes, ma'am.

JUDGE KANG BITNA

[laughing]

Can you see me?

[Mr. Cha] Yes, I can see you.

[Daon] We checked the cameras

at Ms. Cha's apartment.

Insulation tape was stuck

on the outer lens, making it not visible.

[sighs]

I'll be in the area at night

for the time being.

If anyone comes by, don't let them in,

and give me a call.

I'll leave once I make sure

you've locked the door.

Okay, thank you.

Goodbye.

[beep]

[eerie music playing]

[phone vibrating]

[doorbell rings]

It's Detective Han Daon.

[breath trembling]

-[Minjeong gasping]

-What is it, Minjeong?

I couldn't see then too.

And he said he was an officer.

[crying] It's him!

He's here to k*ll you guys!

It's all right.

Honey, call the detective now!

[yells] Why aren't you calling him?

[gasping]

If I do,

we'll be safe for today.

But even if he gets a prison sentence,

he'll be back out again.

How long do you think

the police can protect us?

-Mom, untie me.

-[Mrs. Cha] No.

Dad, I'll go take care of it.

I'll go out.

[crying] Untie me!

Minjeong, look at me!

What did I say when I brought you home?

I promised I'd protect you

no matter what, didn't I?

[sobbing] No one can protect me, Dad.

[crying, gasping]

Honey! Take her to the bedroom

and lock the door.

And don't come out

no matter what you hear.

Once it quiets down,

call the police. Okay?

-Hurry, go!

-[crying] No.

-Get inside.

-[screams] Dad!

-[Mrs. Cha] Come here.

-Dad!

-[screams] Let go!

-[Mrs. Cha] Minjeong, get in!

[Minjeong crying]

-[Mrs. Cha] Minjeong, please!

-[Minjeong] No, Dad!

-[Mrs. Cha] Get in!

-[Minjeong] Dad!

[intense music playing]

[Mr. Cha screams]

[Mr. Cha grunts]

[groans]

No!

Sir, calm down.

[crying]

[sobs] I'm sorry, Detective.

[Daon] This is a smart watch.

You can each wear one.

When you press the SOS button

[Minjeong] It's my fault.

Mom and Dad almost died because of me.

It's not your fault.

[chuckles dryly]

But everyone says it's my fault.

That I have terrible taste in men.

That I dated the wrong guy

and I don't even know

how to end the relationship.

All this won't work.

It ends only when I'm dead.

[phone vibrating]

Excuse me for a moment.

Yeah, what is it?

[Eunseop] Daon, Moon Jeongjun's dead.

What?

The Judge from Hell

[humming]

[Wongyeong] Justitia,

did something good happen?

You're glowing today.

[chuckles]

Yes, the trial ended very well.

JUDGE'S OFFICE

-From the day before yesterday.

-What should I have for lunch?

[chuckles]

[laughing]

12 HOURS AGO

[phone vibrating]

[Minjeong] Jeongjun, it's me, Minjeong.

Meet me at 323-21 in Hwangcheon-dong

at midnight tonight.

[Jeongjun] You want to talk in person?

It's too late.

I'm going to k*ll your parents first.

[Minjeong] If you keep this up,

I'm calling the police.

The police? Go ahead.

What's a few months in prison?

Don't be like that. Let's meet.

I'm the one you want anyways.

Hey.

I know you're plotting with the police

to lure me out there.

I'm not.

Then get down here now.

I can't. My parents are still up.

And the police are watching.

See you there at midnight.

We'll talk then.

[call disconnects]

THE GREATCOA

GIACOMO PUCCINI

[orchestral music playing]

CONGRATULATIONS

ON THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJEC

DEMOLISH

[singing]

Minjeong, let's play

[footsteps approaching from upstairs]

[rock music playing]

Judge Kang?

[chuckles nervously]

What are you doing here?

[Minjeong] What do you think?

I'm here to k*ll you.

[Jeongjun] What?

Where are you hiding? Get out now.

[Mando sighs in Minjeong's voice]

[in Minjeong's voice]

Gosh. I'm so tired.

Seriously?

Can I go home now?

Yes.

Good work today.

I had to work late

[in normal voice]

because of you.

Your real trial starts now.

Do you admit that you, sinner

Moon Jeongjun, m*rder*d Cha Minjeong

and yet are unrepentant and unforgiven?

Minjeong's not dead.

And Minjeong's already forgiven me.

I'll be the one to judge

if she's dead, if she's forgiven you,

and if you really are repentant.

Let me ask you again.

Do you admit to your crimes?

You gave me the fine.

It's all over now. Why are you doing this?

I told you.

This is your real trial.

[voice shaking] I've never k*lled anyone.

I'm going to report you

for attempted m*rder.

What the hell?

[voice echoing] Welcome to my world.

You are about to be

on the receiving end of what you've done.

That's the rule in Hell. Understood?

[voice echoing] Yes.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Bitna.

Wow, I'm full.

Already?

Have more, babe.

I'm full. I'm done.

-Are you ignoring me right now?

-What?

No, I'm not

I said eat.

Eat.

Eat.

Eat. I said eat.

Are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

Why aren't you doing what I say?

Sorry, I won't do it again.

You know I can't live without you, right?

I'd rather die than break up with you.

I'll k*ll myself.

Hey, stop it!

Just put it down first!

[both panting]

Don't ever ask to break up again.

I can't live without you, okay?

[Judge Kang] Hmm?

[chuckles softly]

Let's break up.

Break up?

So, is this

a goodbye party?

What you did that day,

it's too creepy.

Let's end this.

I was trying to be nice until now!

I told you

not to ask to break up ever again.

[shudders]

[Jeongjun yelps]

[grunting]

[groans]

[Jeongjun groans]

[Jeongjun coughing]

For God's sake.

[Jeongjun whimpers]

I kept this here just in case.

I'm finally using it.

[voice shaking]

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

Stop.

Stop?

This is only the beginning.

[Jeongjun screaming]

I think I'm going to die.

Please hurry up.

[knocking on door]

-[Judge Kang] Honey, open the door.

-[screaming] Please come quick!

Open the door.

[screaming in fear]

[screams]

Honey, stay well until we meet again.

[Jeongjun exclaims] Hey

You're home.

I've been released.

Why didn't you tell me you moved?

[voice shaking] How did you find me?

How did you even get in?

If you press that,

I'll end up back in prison.

It'll probably be a year this time.

But you know what?

Next time I come back out again

I'm going to k*ll you.

Come in.

Hurry.

I'm making braised tofu

to celebrate my release. Oh, wait.

[groans]

For betraying me and calling the police.

[Jeongjun grunts in pain]

[exclaims] Oh, my.

You're hair's so long now, babe.

I learned how to cut hair inside.

-I'll cut you after we eat.

-[Jeongjun shudders]

I mean, your hair.

[voice trembling] I won't

call the police.

I'll give you whatever you want.

Money or anything.

So please, let's break up.

-I told you not to ask me that.

-[groans]

[Jeongjun groans]

All I want is you.

But why do you keep asking to break up?

I told you not to ask me

to break up again.

-Why do you keep ignoring me?

-[groans]

Why won't you do what I say?

[screams] Why?

Please just let me go. I'm begging you.

Fine. I'll let you go.

Go.

[Jeongjun screaming]

You'll never be free of me.

Until you die.

I love you, babe.

[crying]

[continues crying loudly]

Oh, my. I'm sorry.

Babe, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?

So why didn't you just listen to me?

Sorry, I made a mistake.

Babe, where are you going?

[sobbing] Oh, no.

It must have hurt so bad.

[knocking on door]

[Judge Kang] Babe, open the door.

The longer you take,

the worse it'll be for you.

-[Jeongjun gasps]

-Babe.

[Jeongjun] No.

Babe.

Open up before I get the bat again.

[door handle rattling]

Babe.

Open the door now. Come on.

Do you really think you can escape me?

You're mine forever.

I love you to death.

[gasps]

[choking]

[gasping]

Don't feel good?

I feel nauseous, too. But I had no choice.

This is part of the trial.

Those who do not admit their crimes,

shall feel the same pain

experienced by the victim and more

before the trial can resume again.

Hell?

I'm here to take care of guys like you.

A demon from Hell.

[voice shaking] So,

a crazy demon from Hell is here

to seek revenge for Minjeong?

Wrong. I don't do anything for humans.

I only take care of

disgusting murderers like you.

-Minjeong's still alive.

-No.

The night you trampled on her soul,

she was already dead.

[breath trembling]

That's ridiculous.

[Jeongjun screams]

-[Jeongjun groans]

-I told you before.

I'm the judge who decides

what's ridiculous or not.

Gosh, I'm being too nice today.

Shall I make a judgement now?

I was wrong, Your Honor.

Please forgive me this once.

I just don't get it.

Why do humans ask judges

to forgive them for crimes

they've inflicted on others?

[voice trembling] Please, let me go.

[Judge Kang] Mmm

[phone vibrating]

[Jeongjun sobs]

Yeah, I'm still in trial.

Is the clean-up crew on standby?

They know the address?

[Jeongjun grunts]

[Jeongjun straining]

[grunts] Don't do something you'll regret.

[screams] You'll be the one

to regret, you b*tch!

-Die! Die.

-[choking]

I'm going to k*ll you

and Minjeong and her parents. All of them.

So die!

Die!

[coughing]

[laughs]

Having fun?

[gasps]

[Jeongjun groans]

[exclaims]

I couldn't control my strength.

[in English] Sorry.

[groans]

[in Korean] From now on,

I'm going to hit you the human way.

[groans]

[Jeongjun screaming]

Let go!

[knuckles cracking]

[Jeongjun screams]

[groans, screams]

[groans]

[screaming]

[grunts]

[Jeongjun yells]

[Jeongjun grunting]

[grunts]

[Jeongjun groans]

[Jeongjun screaming]

[screams]

[Jeongjun groans]

[groaning]

How fun. Go for it again.

[screams]

[yells] Die!

[groans]

[exclaims in pain]

[grunting]

[Jeongjun screaming]

[continues screaming, crying]

I hit you only

a fraction of how much you hit her.

But you're down already?

Get up.

[Jeongjun] Please, stop.

Cha Minjeong asked you the same thing.

"Please, stop."

Please forgive me this once.

Don't you pity me?

I was wrong, Your Honor.

You were?

Yes.

[Jeongjun exclaims]

Do you admit

Cha Minjeong is dead because of you?

Yes.

If not for me,

she wouldn't have tried to k*ll herself.

But you know

she hasn't forgiven you, right?

Of course. I wouldn't forgive me either.

Are you really remorseful?

Yes, I really am.

Mmm.

And you admit you deserve

to die?

[sobbing] Yes, I deserve to die.

[crying]

Then die.

[intense music playing]

Go to Hell.

[Jeongjun exclaims]

[dramatic music playing]

Gehenna!

[music stops]

Court is adjourned.

[chuckles]

[crowd clamoring]

[woman] Isn't that just harassment?

[Donghun] You're here.

Hey.

Really? That's gross.

[Eunseop gagging]

[camera shutters clicking]

[Detective Kim]

What's that on his forehead?

Looks like he was k*lled inside

and dragged out here.

You're right.

Why would they leave the body

where everyone can see it?

Maybe they wanted

to dump it somewhere far but gave up

or to display the brutality.

[Daon] There are no bloodstains from here.

Way too clean, right?

Yes.

Doesn't seem like a m*rder scene.

[Mando] Of course, it's clean.

They've been cleaning forever.

They're complete professionals.

Are they that good?

Of course. They're the go-to guys

in Seoul and Gyeonggi regions.

Anyway, they've got

a good reputation in Hell.

-But why haven't I heard of them?

-What?

Well, you don't really

care about underlings.

They're at the bottom

of the chain in Hell. [laughs]

I'm an egalitarian, okay?

You have a tendency to overstate my evil.

I'm not overstating, it's a fact

I mean [stutters]

Take it.

[chuckles]

Justitia,

the police will be scratching their heads

thanks to these guys.

SERGEANT CLEANING

I'll clean the traces

of Justitia still left on the body.

[devil] This area is

completely destroyed, too.

[Mando] Oh, right.

You know,

when I told them that you ordered the job,

they said they were completely honored.

And promised to be

extra meticulous. [laughs]

[Judge Kang] Mmm. Let's go.

Get every crack and crevice today.

-[agrees]

-Justitia is a total pain.

If we make a mistake,

she'll have our heads.

I heard she's a complete nutjob.

But we can clean up the body for her.

Why did she ask us

to drag it out to the front door?

-Because she's a pain.

-Is she sick?

[Judge Kang] I wanted to show them

what happens to bad guys.

[Mando] But the police will see it, too.

Hmm. Yeah, I wanted them to.

Watching them muddle about,

unable to find any clues

It's fun.

[exclaims]

[sighs] Darn it.

It's dangerous.

It doesn't all fit!

[Judge Kang yells] You'll break the car!

[Donghun] The National Forensic Service

sent Moon Jeongjun's autopsy report.

There are multiple fractures,

but the cause of death is heavy bleeding.

The stab to his abdomen.

Where was Moon Jeongjun last seen?

By the entrance

of Ms. Cha's apartment complex.

He was caught on camera

talking on the phone with someone.

Three hours later, he got off a taxi

at Nobong intersection.

And then he was seen

walking towards Hwangcheon-dong.

I got his messaging history

and call logs from that time.

The last person he was in contact with

was using a burner phone.

Were there any people or cars

that approached there around that time?

That neighborhood is a redevelopment site,

so there are no cameras.

[sighs] There's no one else

besides the villa residents.

WHO SPOKE WITH HIM LAST?

[Detective Kim] They were determined.

Request search dog assistance.

-Check all the empty homes.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes, ma'am.

And did you look into the scar

left on Moon's forehead?

Yes. It's here.

[Donghun exclaims]

I can't get used to that.

Flip the photo left and right.

It means "Hell" in ancient Greek.

In Latin,

there's a letter "H" in the middle.

-So it's read, "Gehenna."

-[Daon whispers] Gehenna? Wow.

[Donghun] Wow. Who on earth

kills someone and brands them

with the word "Hell"?

Gehenna

Hell.

It's a lot, right?

I can see why judges die from overwork.

To k*ll just one person,

I read all those case files all night.

But I still have nine left.

[chuckles dryly, sighs]

Justitia, I [clears throat]

I thought about it.

We can select bad guys through trials

because this is a criminal court.

But

there's another place

teeming with bad guys as much as here.

The police station?

Become a policewoman?

No, you don't have to

become a police officer.

You can also do it

through a policeman you know.

That man Han Daon who you said was cute?

He won't tell me anything.

He doesn't like me.

Well, obviously.

He'd have to be crazy to like you.

Or

Well

[stuttering] So, what I'm saying is,

maybe you can try

getting on the detective's good side.

Forget it.

I can find it myself.

[knocking on door]

-Yes?

-The chief judge asked for you.

He's really mad. I wonder what it is.

What could I have done to make him

Huh. She's so rude.

But what's up with that guy?

Find something.

I, who you'd have to be crazy to like,

am leaving.

CHIEF JUDGE'S OFFICE

Judge Kang.

Moon Jeongjun.

How could you release him

with a mere fine?

[yells] At the very least

It should've been based on common sense.

Since when have judges

judged with their common sense?

What?

Are you going to take responsibility

if the defendant retaliates

against the victim?

[chuckles softly]

What if I do?

[Yeongjin sighs in frustration]

Judge Kang, I know

it was a traumatic accident.

And that you're like this because of it.

But if you keep causing trouble like this,

there's only so much

I can cover up for you.

If you're a judge,

you should act like one.

And not only in trials

Those loud outfits

and that disheveled hair.

And your makeup. Change it.

Understand what I'm saying?

But I'm dressed very elegantly.

[yells] Only respond with "Yes" or "No"!

[shouts] No!

-[door slams]

-Gosh, my head.

Am I unwell?

If not for Assemblyman Jeong,

-I'd banish her to the countryside.

-[phone vibrating]

ASSEMBLYMAN JEONG JAEGEOL

Oh, no. It's Assemblyman Jeong.

I heard you got an earful from the chief.

Is it just me,

or do you seem really happy about that?

Or course, I'm not happy.

You were in there for only ten minutes.

He let you off easy.

Who is this Assemblyman Jeong?

Is he my sponsor or something?

There he is.

[reporter on TV] volunteered serving

free meals at a homeless shelter.

To help them rejoin society,

Assemblyman Jeong

I don't know who that is.

Seriously? You don't remember

Assemblyman Jeong?

You can forget your parents,

but you should remember him.

You don't remember

breaking off the engagement?

Oh, my.

I broke off the engagement

with this Assemblyman Jeong?

Not with him. With his son.

His oldest son, I think.

Of course he was the oldest son.

His second son is a scumbag.

I guess I've been

too indifferent to myself.

Seonho, you look good.

Yes, I probably do.

I'm off drugs now.

[Jaegeol] Seonho.

How is Judge Kang doing?

She's your ex-fiance. Why haven't you

checked in on her at all?

Well

I'm sure he's busy with work.

He doesn't have time.

I hear you're really busy with

the redevelopment of Hwangcheon-dong.

I saw it on the news.

[laughing]

I heard Judge Kang lost her memories

because of the incident.

[Yeongjin] Apparently, she's lost

most of her memories.

-She's a different person now.

-[Jeong sighs]

Please watch over her.

[Yeongjin] Of course. I've been

watching over her closely

like a mother hen looking after her eggs.

You should make the time

to ask after her yourself.

I will.

NO TO REDEVELOPMEN

WITHOUT RESIDENT CONSENT!

[Mando] Should I drive if you're tired?

I have too much left to pay

in installments to let you drive it.

Then step on it more.

If you were going to drive this slow,

why buy a sports car?

You have to drive slow in alleys.

Don't you know?

But why is this neighborhood so dark?

I hope that's all it is.

There are no cameras here,

so it's a scary neighborhood.

That's how I was able to send one.

I know it's going to be redeveloped,

but it's too run-down.

If only someone hadn't spent

all her salary

and racked up credit card debt

to shop at high-end brands

Keep talking, and I'll redevelop

that mouth of yours.

Why do humans think

being a judge is so great?

They work overtime every day

and still get criticized.

You wouldn't if you judged properly.

[woman singing] Thy mercy is even greater

Than life itself

HWANGCHEON VILLA

Oh, my. Shalom!

Damn it.

Shalom.

[chuckles] Shalo

[groans]

Going to church again tonight?

No, I'm picking up the elderly

from this apartment.

Oh, right.

Today's the neighborhood meeting.

Yes, but I won't be there.

What?

But there'll be snacks.

Do you think I'm the kind of person

you can win over with snacks?

Yes.

[Myeongsuk making slurping sounds]

Start talking so we can go.

I have to go collect the recycling.

Gosh, what's the hurry?

All right.

I called an urgent meeting today

because

Here. You can write down

your names and sign here.

-Here.

-Let me see.

This is a petition

against the redevelopment.

We all talk a lot about redevelopment,

-but that's not

-[Mija grunts]

You should stay longer.

You'll drone on and tell us to believe

in Jesus so we can go to Heaven.

Why would I?

[laughs] Drone on?

You should take

the side dishes I made there.

Goodness. [laughs]

[clears throat] You should all sign, too.

At first, my friends all signed yes

thinking it would be a good thing.

They left and lived elsewhere

for a few years.

And when they came in,

they asked for a lot of money.

Who is this redevelopment for?

We should really think about this.

And when they moved, things like sofas

I'll defer for now.

I can't just sign anything

and regret it later.

[slams table] Half off your rent

and no more maintenance fees.

That won't be enough to convince her.

KANG BITNA

[Myeongsuk] Good.

We're now all in the same boat.

-Goodbye, then.

-[Myeongsuk] What?

Where are you going?

Let's pray before you leave. Okay?

Lord, there's a woman

in her 30s who's lost her way.

Please keep our unit 201

as far away from Satan as possible.

-And pave the road to Heaven

-[Judge Kang yelps]

I got a reply.

-Already?

-Yes.

Lord told me

to go home and sleep.

Come to church with me next week

[sighs] That was exhausting.

Why does the landlady

have to be a church deaconess?

I have to k*ll

the remaining nine and go back.

[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

Extract information using Detective Han?

With what? How?

Like that?

[chuckles]

You're a genius.

Minjeong.

TOP-NOTCH NOBONG POLICE

[Daon] How are you feeling?

I'm a lot better.

And I'll come back to my work.

That's great.

It's all thanks to you.

Actually

Judge Kang Bitna came

to see me a few days ago.

Why?

[Judge Kang] Crying again?

[church bell tolling in distance]

What are you wishing for today?

And did what you wished for last time

come true?

What did you ask for?

To save them.

My death was inevitable.

So I asked Him to leave me to die

-and save my innocent parents instead.

-[chuckles]

I told you.

He doesn't really grant wishes.

And He didn't.

You and your parents are all alive.

You didn't hear

I almost died because of you?

Sounds like you want me to apologize.

Sorry, I'm not at all apologetic.

Why did you come to see me?

The joy you feel

because Moon Jeongjun is dead

is only natural because you're human.

I came to tell you there's

no need to feel guilty about it.

But if you still feel bad,

confess everything to Him.

He's stingy about granting wishes.

But I heard He's generous

to those who tell Him their sins honestly.

We won't be seeing each other again.

Be well.

[Minjeong] I still resent her.

But when she said

I didn't have to feel guilty,

it comforted me more than anything else.

Actually, that day

I was praying for repentance.

Dear Lord.

I know it's terrible of me

to be glad about someone's death.

But I have been freed from the fear

that he'll come after me again

and the terror

that he might m*rder my family.

I'm completely free.

I wanted to give everything up

and take my life.

But I want to live again now.

I'm a terrible person, right?

[owl hooting]

[tires screech]

[breathing heavily]

[Daon] What the

What are you doing? That was dangerous.

Nothing happened. Calm down.

What are you doing here?

How did you know where I was?

Why am I here?

You blocked my number

and ignored my calls, so I'm here to talk.

How did I know where you were?

A detective from the station told me.

He spoke in a dialect.

He just told you I was here?

I said I was your girlfriend

and that I wanted to surprise you.

He said, "Daon is finally dating someone!"

He shouted a lot.

He gave me this address right away.

Why would you lie like that?

If you don't like that I lied, let's date.

Then it won't be a lie.

I care more about personality.

Mmm. Then I'm your perfect gal.

Let's talk over

some grilled pork and soju.

I don't want to talk to you.

This isn't just any pork.

It's deep scored.

And domestic, not imported.

You can have it all.

Really? Then that leaves me no choice.

I'll share it with the other officers

at the station tomorrow.

And I'll tell them all about just how much

we love each other!

[sighs]

Oh!

Gosh, it's heavy.

[in English] Thank you.

Ah.

[in Korean] Judges are buried in records,

unaware of what's happening on site.

But I realized watching you

that the discouragement you feel when

a hard-to-catch criminal gets off too easy

must be really great.

So I wanted to treat you to dinner.

[Daon clears throat]

It's not cooked yet.

Yes, it's rare.

-Give it.

-Sheesh.

I heard you went to see Cha Minjeong.

She told you already?

She must have really bad-mouthed me.

She said you comforted her.

I never did that.

I'm more curious

about what you think of me.

At first, I was grateful.

Then you were cool.

After the trial

I'm sure you despised me. I know.

Then what about now?

I'm confused.

[chuckles softly]

It's hard being

a violent crimes detective, isn't it?

Nothing in this world is easy.

Are there any cases

you just can't break these days?

Like maybe there's a brutal k*ller?

Like someone who caused someone's death

even if they didn't really k*ll.

-Cases like that?

-A lot.

Oh

And among those, are any still uncaught?

Hmm

-It's confidential.

-I won't tell anyone.

I don't have friends to tell anyways.

Makes sense that you don't have friends.

Still, no.

Fine.

Let's drink for now.

So, if there's a m*rder*r you still

haven't caught, tell me their name.

I don't need many. Just nine.

Or even just one.

I'm just curious, please?

Hmm

Fine. But

you can't tell anyone.

Understood.

What are their names?

Han Daon.

I already know your name.

I need names of murderers.

I know. Han Daon.

How can a k*ller become a detective?

Fine, don't tell me. You're mean.

Why won't you believe me?

I've really k*lled before.

Three people, in fact.

Really?

Yes.

I stabbed them with a knife.

And I can still smell the blood here.

It never goes away.

It might have even gotten more vivid.

How did you become

an officer after k*lling three people?

Is that possible?

I was young then.

Do you feel bad for the people you k*lled?

They're already dead.

What's the point of apologizing now?

That's just self-consolation

to ease the guilt.

Did their families forgive you?

They said they never would.

That they'd curse me forever.

They said they hoped

I'd go to Hell when I died.

So

you're admitting to your crime.

Of course. Not just any crime.

It's deserving of death.

Do you think

I could meet with the families?

You're sitting next to one.

What?

Where?

Detective.

Get up, okay?

[gentle music playing]

[exhales]

[sighs]

You're still here?

I wanted to know

if what you said last night is true.

What did I say last night?

Can you keep it a secret?

So it's true.

Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.

Thank you.

Everyone says I'm not normal

because of the incident.

Despite knowing about that,

you're the first human to look at me,

a demon, without judgement.

And you have convictions

not easily found in other humans.

The conviction

or tenacity

to do what you believe is right,

no matter the cost.

That's why I like you.

And also because you're cute.

Oh, I see. [chuckles]

Either way, thanks.

Sure.

-Your hand.

-What?

I said I'd take you on a walk.

Do you need a treat first?

Uh

Where do you want to walk?

[voice echoing] To Hell.

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales, laughs]

[Judge Kang laughing loudly]

The Judge from Hell

Gehenna.

[theme music playing]

[Bael] You, Justitia, will be punished

for the wrong judgement.

If you object to the punishment,

I will k*ll you.

Do we know each other?

Justitia?

Can you tell me what happened on this day?

Bring back my son!

Bring me my son back!

[woman] My mother-in-law's demanding she

have the death benefit under Jiho's name.

Dad!

No my Jiho. He's my son.

[Justitia] Where's the boy?

He's at an orphanage

because they said I can't raise him.

She abandoned him?

[Daon] Jiho, are you home?

He's dead.

And bad adults must be punished.
