"Only evil can punish evil."
Vincenzo - Movie Quotes
Memorable Quotes
오직 악마만이 악마를 벌할 수 있다. (Only a devil can punish another devil.)
— Vincenzo Cassano
Context:
This line is a recurring sentiment throughout the series, but it is powerfully stated as Vincenzo fully embraces his role as the dispenser of ruthless justice against Babel's executives, particularly in the latter half of the series.
Meaning:
This quote encapsulates the series' core philosophy. It's Vincenzo's justification for using his cruel, mafia-honed methods to fight the equally, if not more, evil Babel Group. He acknowledges his own nature as a 'devil' but frames it as a necessary evil to bring true judgment upon those who are shielded by a corrupt system.
후회는 세상에서 가장 지독한 지옥을 만드는 법이다. (Regret is the most painful hell one can create for oneself.)
— Vincenzo Cassano
Context:
He says this to Hong Cha-young, advising her on how to cope with the difficult choices they are making. It provides insight into his past and the mindset required to survive in the mafia world he comes from.
Meaning:
This quote reveals Vincenzo's personal philosophy of living without regret, which explains his decisive and often brutal actions. He believes in committing fully to a path, whether good or evil, because the torment of second-guessing and remorse is a fate worse than any punishment.
