EPISODE 6
HOW TO RECEIVE ETERNAL SALVATION

Damn it. I should've just taken the drugs.

Dear Savior.

You protect us
from all the evil of the world.

Please protect this poor soul
as he fights the devil

that lives inside him.

-Please protect him.
-Please protect him.

Leave, evil spirit!

Leave, evil spirit!

Leave, evil spirit!

Leave, evil spirit!

Leave, evil spirit!

Leave, evil spirit!

CHURCH OF SALVATION AND HEALING

Leave, evil spirit!

-I should be the one to k*ll him.
-Leave, evil spirit!

-Leave, evil spirit!
-But she might beat me to it at this rate.

Dear brother.

Is your mind clearing up?

If the devil has left you,
you will be able to move your legs again.

If not, you will remain paralyzed.

We'll check on you later

and repeat the ritual if need be.

We will now begin
Han Ji-yul's salvation ritual.

We're protected in the Savior's name.

-We're protected in the Savior's name.
-We're protected in the Savior's name.

Guard us in the Savior's name.

-Guard us in the Savior's name.
-Guard us in the Savior's name.

Dear Savior.

You protect us
from all the evil of the world.

Please protect us
in our fight with the devil

that lives inside her.

-Please protect us.
-Please protect us.

Dear Savior,

show yourself to us

and stop this soul
that's possessed by darkness and evil

from carrying out any more evil deeds.

Dear omnipotent Savior,

please cast all evil spirits
into the fiery pit.

No...

Let there be light.

Dear Savior?

-It's him.
-It's our Savior.

-Our Savior's here.
-Oh my...

Who are you?

I'm the Savior who has come

to save this child's soul
from the evil spirit that inhabits it.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Our Savior has come!

-Our Savior has come!
-Our Savior has come!

Love and do what you will.

Love and do what you will.

While I breathe, I hope.

While I breathe, I hope.

Art is long and life is short.

Art is long and life is short.

Let there be light.

Love and do what you will.

-Dear Savior.
-Dear Savior.

While I breathe, I hope.

Art is long and life is short.

Wait!

Madam Messenger!

Look at my husband! He can move again!

It's a miracle!

It's a miracle!

Honey, you really have been saved!

It's a true miracle.

He received salvation!

-A miracle!
-This is incredible!

I'm truly glad.

The devil has left him.

Our Savior...

Hey!

Allow me.

-It won't budge.
-Open it! Hurry!

Help me.

Push harder!

Dear Savior.

Where are you taking us?

We're going to the path of true salvation.

To the path of true salvation...

-Hurry.
-Let's go.

Hey, stop!

Hurry. Get him!

Let's take the car. Come on.

What happened to the tires?

Damn it. Do we have another car?

Madam Messenger.

Follow me.

Yes, ma'am.

That was so uncomfortable.

Seriously, why the chest of all places?

It hurts every time I inhale.

Stay here. I'll collect all the evidence.

I should help you.

What's all this?

What do we have here?

I knew you looked familiar.

You were that detective.

Are you all high on the drugs
or something?

If you caught on, why didn't you run away?

Ms. Lee, you are...

It hurts so much.

You're under arrest for assaulting
Detective Geum Myeong-sae.

You used a tool, which makes it
as*ault with a deadly weapon.

Yes, she used a whip.

What are you waiting for?

Do not obstruct police officers!

Ms. Lee...

Hey! Why you...

Are you crazy? Why you little...

Good shot!

Yes! Captain, go in for the k*ll.

Ms. Lee, you're under arrest
for causing injury by as*ault.

SEOBU POLICE STATION

Please don't do this.

Please don't do this, Captain.

Let go. We need to treat the wound.

I'll do it myself. Just hand it over.

Why won't you let me do it?

-Do you hate me?
-I'm just embarrassed.

It's not like it's on my back.
Give me that. I got this.

Just pretend you're at a swimming pool.

Hold on. Did all that whipping knock off

your n*pples?

My what?

Gosh. Please, Captain.

I'll do it...

Sir!

What's going on here?
Is it love I smell in the air?

Don't be silly.

What about the cult leader?
Is she cooperating with the investigation?

She's been released.

-What? Already?
-Already?

A hotshot lawyer showed up

and got her released from detention,

saying her identity's been verified
and she poses no flight risk.

Darn it.

But she whipped me! I can't believe this.

Captain, we should hurry.

Yes, we should.

-But let me apply some ointment first.
-Come on.

Pull up your shirt.

Fine, knock yourself out.

-Madam Messenger!
-Peace in the heart.

-Peace in the heart.
-Protect us.

-Peace in the heart.
-Guard us.

They aren't at the police station.
Did you find them?

Not yet. I'm sorry.

Ji-yul's mother left her phone,
so we can't track her location.

-And the neuroscientist's place?
-We're still searching for it.

Won't she keep trying to get out?

She won't.

She believes that I'm the Savior.

You must stay here.

For the sake
of Ji-yul's eternal salvation,

you must stay here.

The timing was excellent.

You appeared and saved Ji-yul
just as she was about to get whipped.

She has no choice but to believe you.

Ms. Yang's brain was in a state of panic,
making it vulnerable to deception.

Of course, my charisma also
made me quite convincing as the Savior.

Looks like you've found your calling
as a cult leader.

Then what would you be? A fanatic?

Sure, whatever you say.

So my dear Savior, what's the next step?

The second step
to liberating Ms. Yang's brain

is to empty the brain.

When the brain

is completely deprived of information,
it goes into starvation mode.

JI-YUL, SALVATION, SAVIOR, MESSENGER

JI-YUL, SALVATION, SAVIOR

SALVATION

Once the brain enters starvation mode,

it becomes desperate
to absorb any kind of information.

When a message is presented
to the brain at that stage,

it can even change
one's religious belief and faith,

which is notoriously hard to do.

I see.

It's like how anything tastes good
when you're starving.

Then shall we wait
for her brain to enter starvation mode?

Okay.

I found out
where that neuroscientist lives.

Good.

Watch his every move.

I will, Madam Messenger.

Look who it is!

You're that cult leader's manager.

You dirty rats.

How dare you show up here?

You'd better not come here again!

Next time, I'll aim for the head!

My gosh!

Captain Seol,

you really have become more assertive!

This new personality
exceeds even my wildest dreams.

I like it.

Congratulations.

You achieved
the impossible task of brain remodeling.

Seems like it.

I only hope Ji-yul's mom
can achieve it as well.

Is anyone there?

Please open this door. Ji-yul!

Where's Ji-yul?

Hello? Let me out...

Ji-yul!

Are you all right?

Let me see. Are you okay?

Who were you with?

Who's been looking after you?

Is it the Savior?

Really?

Where is the Savior? Is he here right now?

Detective?

Hello.

The Savior is elsewhere.

I just came here to talk.

Caring for Ji-yul
must have been very difficult.

Your husband's job
kept him out of town during the week,

and your mother isn't around to help.

I can see how hard it must have been

as you cared for your daughter all alone.

When my daughter was six,

right around Ji-yul's age,
I began to raise her on my own.

I felt like I had been
thrown in at the deep end.

Even just getting her to eat

or to brush her teeth was a nightmare.

I wanted to be a good dad,

but I didn't think I had it in me.

I'm sorry. I can't believe I'm crying.

It's all right.

I can fully relate
to what you went through.

She has finally begun to open up.

The third step to liberating her brain
is going as planned.

We still have to wait and see
how she responds.

I felt the same way.

You have no idea
how often she'd fall sick.

She'd first say her stomach hurt,
and then her back.

And then it was her head.

I'd call my husband each time,

but he'd be dismissive
and tell me to take her to a doctor.

And my mom wasn't around to talk to.

All I could do was cry along with Ji-yul
as she cried in pain.

I see.

I even thought about...

throwing my crying daughter
out the balcony.

One day,

I saw her standing out on the balcony,

and it startled me.

It felt like I had made her sick

with my terrible thoughts.

I understand.

All I wanted was to be a good mother.

Being a good dad
was also all I ever wanted.

Brother!

Sister!

Detective Geum is outstanding
at empathizing with others.

So he isn't useless after all.

I could never do what he's doing.

I understand now.

No wonder you were drawn to a cult.

It isn't a cult though.

If Madam Messenger is wrong
about an evil spirit taking over Ji-yul,

what could be the cause of her illness?

I'm sure there is
another explanation for that.

Dear Savior.

I will unmask the so-called evil spirit
at the hospital.

If I do so, will you tell me the truth

about what happened
on the rooftop that day?

There is no tumor,

and I found no abnormalities.

What's concerning is
the high white blood cell count

from the spinal tap.

You mean she has encephalitis?

What caused it?

We'll have to run an antibody panel.

We must find out what is causing this.

Encephalitis, as in
an inflammation in the brain?

That's right. To determine the cause,

we will run an antibody panel.

But it still might not show
what caused her illness.

What would we do then?

We'd have to expand
the scope of the tests.

Problems in other organs
can sometimes lead to encephalitis.

She'd first say her stomach hurt,
and then her back.

-Auntie.
-Yes?

There is something we should check.

Call gynecology for a consult.

It's just as I suspected.

Please begin.

Yes.

We'll begin the operation. Scalpel.

It's even more serious than I thought.

The child must've been in much pain.

But I'm glad

we've identified the evil spirit.

Did the evil spirit really show itself?

Yes.

The evil spirit inside Ji-yul...

was this.

It even looks like the devil,
don't you think?

It's a teratoma we removed from her ovary.

It's a tumor made of
various types of cells and tissues.

Stem cells, which have DNA
capable of forming any part of the body,

can sometimes go rogue inside a tumor

and cause it to grow
teeth, eyeballs, hair,

and other bodily organs.

The untreated teratoma
that caused her encephalitis

seems to have induced
aphasia and delirium.

It's a very rare case,

which is why it was
misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder.

Those symptoms will disappear
since it's been removed.

No way.

I can't believe you

until I see her for myself.

Ji-yul.

Are you all right?

Are you awake?

Ji-yul, if you hear me,

nod your head.

Mom.

You can speak now, Ji-yul?

Yes.

My poor baby... Thank you.

She'll no longer experience
delirium or hallucinations.

With proper treatment,

she'll go back to her old self.

You saved her, doctor.

Thank you.

No.

Neither of you has been fully saved yet.

I've revealed the identity
of the evil spirit.

Now it's time to tell me the truth

about what happened
on the rooftop that day.

Was Ji-yul the only one you saw
on the rooftop?

Did Ji-yul

hurt her father?

Do you not want to be saved?

I do.

The truth is, that day...

Ji-yul!

Where is she?

-Ji-yul, come on out!
-Come out here!

-Ji-yul!
-Show yourself!

Hand Ji-yul over to us!

-Ji-yul!
-Where's Ji-yul?

Eun-jung, come out here!

-Ji-yul!
-Have you seen a little girl?

Where are you, Ji-yul?

Madam Messenger.

Here they are.

-You!
-Stop.

Stay where you are.

What did you do to Ji-yul?

I performed a miracle.

I saved Ji-yul.

That's nonsense.

Madam Messenger.

Ji-yul can speak now.

It was caused by something
called a teratoma in her body.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Sister, you need to come to your senses.

The evil spirit attacks the mind,

not the body.

The fact that
they removed something from her body

doesn't mean the evil spirit is gone.

Do not fall for the devil's tricks.

I'm the Savior. The devil...

-is her.
-Shut it!

You devil.

Ms. Yang, think about it rationally.

Who is the devil?
Me, the one who helped Ji-yul speak again?

Or her, who blamed Ji-yul
for a crime she committed?

You can decide for yourself, right?

Sister, what did I say
is the first step in sinning?

It's thinking.

They're numbing your thoughts
and controlling your actions.

That's how cults gaslight people.

You must think.

Think for yourself.

Do not commit any more sins.

It's not a sin to think!

Think for yourself.

You can't fall for the devil's whispers.

Your foolishness
will cause Ji-yul to suffer again.

It's not your fault that she became sick.

The teratoma caused it.

Don't fall for the devil's tricks!

Who helped her so she could speak again?

Didn't you witness the miracle
with your own eyes?

Stop, everyone!

Madam Messenger.

Yes, sister.

Don't cry.

Come to me.

Yes.

Welcome back.

Return to your family.

We're family.

Ji-yul needs a family.

Without us,

she'll get sick again,

and she'll k*ll again.

No.

I'm the one

who made her sick.

It was because I believed you.

Ji-yul is not a m*rder*r.

Detective.

The k*ller my husband named...

Madam Messenger.

Madam Messenger

threatened me with a knife.

I tried to get away...

and I fell.

Eun-jung.

Please break free from her.

That's the only way

you and Ji-yul can live.

Okay?

Promise me.

The k*ller my husband named...

was actually her.

Please arrest her.

-What is she saying?
-You traitor!

What are you talking about?

You're under arrest
for the m*rder of Han Seong-u.

-No!
-You traitor!

Let go of us before this gets worse.

You did great.

Now, Ji-yul

has been completely saved.

Mom.

Ji-yul.

Mom.

I saw...

Madam Messenger.

In a mirror on the rooftop.

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I was in the wrong.

-Guard us in the Savior's name.
-Guard us in the Savior's name.

-Lead us in the Savior's name.
-Lead us in the Savior's name.

-We're saved in the Savior's name.
-We're saved in the Savior's name.

-We're protected in the Savior's name.
-We're protected in the Savior's name.

-Guard us in the Savior's name.
-Guard us in the Savior's name.

-Lead us in the Savior's name.
-Lead us in the Savior's name.

-We're saved in the Savior's name.
-We're saved in the Savior's name.

-We're protected in the Savior's name.
-We're protected in the Savior's name.

-Lead us in the Savior's name.
-Lead us in the Savior's name.

-Guard us in the Savior's name.
-Guard us in the Savior's name.

-Lead us in the Savior's name.
-Lead us in the Savior's name.

Ms. Lee,

you manipulated Ms. Yang
to frame Ji-yul as a m*rder*r.

Do you know what a grave sin
you're committing?

Stop threatening me
and answer the question.

You'll rot in purgatory.

You insulted the holy Messenger.

You'll pay for it dearly.

Not one of those curses again.

After all the curses I've heard,
it's a miracle I'm still alive.

I forgot. Dr. Brain wrote my name in red.

But I'm not dead yet.

Can you develop immunity
against curses too?

I'm not scared at all,

so just spill it already.

Tell me what happened on the rooftop.

INTERROGATION ROOM 2

After hearing what my husband told me,

I went up to the rooftop.

And I saw Ji-yul there.

Ji-yul!

Ji-yul.

What were you doing with the knife?

Where is Madam Messenger?

Why...

Why did you do such a thing?

Madam Messenger!

You fool.

It was all for Ji-yul's sake.

Why don't you understand that?

That man is not your husband.

He is the devil who's come
to prevent Ji-yul's salvation.

I'm the one who stopped him

after he suddenly showed up
to kidnap Ji-yul.

Ji-yul.

Where are you?

Where are you, Ji-yul?

Where are you?

Your husband didn't die.

It was the evil spirit
who received judgement.

Your husband will be resurrected soon.

This is a good sign.

The devil interfering with
Ji-yul's healing is gone.

Don't think about anything else.

Do not commit any more sins.

You should focus
solely on Ji-yul's salvation ritual.

Think only of your daughter.

Who is the most important person to you?

It's Ji-yul, isn't it?

Then...

what about my husband?

Ji-yul was...

on the rooftop too, as you know.

She said that since Ji-yul is a minor,

she won't be punished in any way.

She told me if I do as she tells me,

everyone will be okay.

She said we'd all receive salvation.

That's why...

In the end,

I was the evil spirit
ruining Ji-yul's life.

I ruined everything.

Thank you for telling us the truth.

Is there any physical evidence

to prove it was the Messenger
who caused him to fall?

It could be anything,
like a recording of a phone call.

No, there's nothing.

Per her orders,

I got rid of all the security footage
in the building

and used a phone that can't record calls.

Did you see anything on the rooftop?

It can be anything,
no matter how insignificant.

I can't think of anything at all.

Can we only charge her with as*ault then?

I do have evidence for something else.

Hey, stop them!

Pick up the pace.

Hey, move it!

Pick up the pace. What are you doing?

Hey, hold it properly!

Why are you so bad at this?

Gosh, I haven't shoveled anything
since my military service.

I bet you got a lot of flak there,
judging from the way you're shoveling.

Damn it.

What? What's the matter?

I was suddenly reminded of
one of my seniors in the military.

I wonder how he's doing.

I was sure I'd run into him
in the Major Crimes unit,

but it never happened.

Goodness.

What's that?

What?

Sir.

What is it?

It's a human skeleton!

-Come here! Over here.
-What is it?

-Over here.
-Let's see.

We found human remains.

A dead body was found
in the woods behind a building

belonging to
a religious group in Juryu-dong,

which launched a police investigation.

According to a tip we received,

the skeleton belonged to a teenage student
who lived with the religious group

along with the mother.

The student died
during a salvation ritual,

which appears to be a kind of exorcism.

Lee Jung-ja,
the leader of the religious group,

uploaded exorcism videos
on a video-sharing platform

to recruit followers.

-Give us a comment.
-Release Madam Messenger at once!

-How do you feel?
-Release her!

I'm fine.

Wait and see. I will be resurrected.

-Peace in the heart!
-Peace in the heart!

Don't take pictures. I said, no pictures!

This cult has
way more followers than I expected.

This is bad.

Cults will always exist
as long as humans inhabit this world.

It happens because
humans are imperfect and weak.

We are weakened by deprivation, anxiety,
and the desire to lean on someone.

Dr. Brain, do you experience
things like deprivation and anxiety too?

Of course I do.

A rare show of human weakness. What gives?

However, I have highly developed
metacognitive skills,

so I never let such emotions shake me.

See, metacognition allows you
to recognize that your brain is anxious

and that it's causing you
to want to behave a certain way.

This in turn helps you stop the behavior.

Oh, I see.

I don't really understand what that means,

but now you no longer sound relatable.

Yes, sir.

I'll work hard.

Have a great day, sir!

Good work, all of you.

The senior superintendent
called me himself.

I'll get a stellar performance review!

Why am I crying?

You've been under a lot of stress.

Congratulations, sir!

Oh, and the chief said you'd get an award.

What? Why all of a sudden?

That thing?

The article about your good deed.
You sure deserve it.

An award? That's too much!

My gosh! Dr. Brain,
I'll get an award thanks to you.

This will be my first award
since elementary school.

Thanks, Dr. Brain!

I told you.

Dr. Brain is like our team's lucky charm.

-Even this case...
-Hold it right there.

I must get going.

What's with him? I was complimenting him.

I have no idea.

We're not on his level,

so we'll never know.

Sir, the press briefing
will take place shortly.

Here is the report.

Okay.

Good work, Captain Seol.

Now I shall go out there
and soak up the spotlight.

-Let's go.
-Yes.

We also managed to uncover
other crimes committed by Lee Jung-ja.

The Neuroscientific Investigation Team
even went undercover.

The citizens are praising your hard work.

Thank you.

We're not afraid
to put our lives on the line

to serve and protect the people,

and we'll continue to do so.

I heard the victim's daughter
who was framed for the m*rder

exhibited symptoms of aphasia

because of a teratoma.

What is a teratoma?

You see, this teratoma

develops from
an abnormal division of a cell...

-A cell...
-Did you get it too?

What is this?

Is this real?

-No way.
-What is this?

Sir.

The video of Dr. Brain has gone viral.

That concludes the briefing.

It's not a sin to think!

-Think for yourself.
-Check him out. He's so cool.

It's not your fault that she became sick.
The teratoma caused it.

Don't fall for the devil's tricks!

Who helped her so she could speak again?

Didn't you witness the miracle
with your own eyes?

Your foolishness
will cause Ji-yul to suffer again.

Don't fall for the devil's tricks!

They're numbing your thoughts
and controlling your actions.

That's how cults gaslight people.

You must think.

Think for yourself.

-Do not commit any more sins.
-He's so handsome.

It's not a sin to think!

Focus.

Think for yourself.

-Don't fall for the devil's tricks.
-I was busy saving a young lamb

-from a cult.
-Your foolishness

will cause Ji-yul to suffer again.

-It's not your fault she became sick.
-You saved her?

The teratoma caused it.

Don't fall for the devil's tricks!

Do you believe you saved this woman?

I freed her from the cult's spell.

Of course I saved her.

Sure. You did free her.

However,

do you think she is truly happy?

That woman

fell for the cult

because she was running away
from her problems.

No one reaches paradise by running away.

To her, the cult was her paradise.

She found solace among those people.

The solace was just an illusion.

Exactly.

The human brain

spouts out dopamine
even in response to such illusions.

That woman was an idiot from birth.

What awaited her
when she was freed from that illusion?

Her foolishness got her husband k*lled,

and now she faces a dreadful world

in which she has to
care for her child all alone.

From the second
she wakes up in the morning,

she'll feel sick
from the realization of her foolishness.

She won't be able to
escape the sense of shame.

I can tell you with certainty

that you drove that woman into hell.

Yet, you say that you saved her.

If you ask me,

you strike me as a severe megalomaniac.

You drove that woman into hell.

NEUROSCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION TEAM

Dear Savior.

What brings you here, ma'am?

You worked hard to save me.

I brought this for you all to enjoy.

We are not allowed to accept this.

Please consider it
a token of my gratitude and have some.

But please don't do this next time.

Strike that.
There shouldn't be a "next time."

Anyway, thank you for the food.

I'll have some to express my gratitude.

I'm good, so enjoy without me.

Dear Savior.

Actually,

I came by to tell you something.

From now on,

I will put my faith in you.

Please allow me to do that.

I don't think
I'll be able to carry on otherwise.

Every day feels like a nightmare.

The nightmare begins
the second I wake up in the morning.

I'm worried I won't be able to
care for Ji-yul on my own,

and I'm scared
I'll fall in with the wrong crowd again.

Every morning,

I wish I could stay asleep forever.

Dear Savior,

just as you saved Ji-yul,

please save me as well.

Please use neuroscience to fix my brain.

Ms. Yang.

Do you trust me?

Yes, I do.

Will you trust my words and do as I say?

Yes, I will do anything.

From this moment on,

you must put your faith
in only one person.

Of course.

The person you must believe in...

is yourself.

Love yourself

and trust yourself.

Then you will receive

eternal salvation.

Do you understand?

At first, I thought
he was playing one of his tricks,

but his words were so deep.

She truly found salvation.

I almost became his follower myself.

I think Dr. Brain is quite the charmer.

You know what I mean by that, right?

Of course.

You find them more charming
the more you get to know them.

But...

-I think you're a bit too into him.
-Into who?

That man,
Dr. Brain or whatever he's called.

He's all you ever talk about.

Can't we talk about us?

Is there anything left to say about us?

Oh, right, there is.

Why do you keep
eating pig's trotters here?

We're divorced, you know.

Are divorced couples
not allowed to share pig's trotters?

Is it ill*gal?

Stop saying the same thing,
because I'll keep giving the same answer.

Now I'm really suspicious.

Why are you suddenly so cranky?

"Cranky"?
Do you want to see how cranky I can be?

What...

What is it? Where are you going?

What's wrong, Yi-na?

Unbelievable.

This is why we should
stay away from each other.

Get going, will you?

Says the man who once said

he wanted us
to stick together like koalas.

Are you kidding me? Keep your voice down.

Come on. That's what you said.

What do you say?

How about a trip

down memory lane?

Stop looking at me like that!

-Get going already.
-What...

Get out of here, ma'am.

-Leave.
-Why are you only mean to me?

-I told you to leave.
-No.

Stop fighting back.

No, I'm not leaving.

They're truly opposites.

I wanted to congratulate you on the award.
Wear them at the ceremony.

Why would you get me these?

You didn't have to...

I'd like you to think long and hard

as to why I got these for you
when I didn't have to.

What does it mean?

This is making me anxious.

They look expensive.

I was looking at him
with a gaze full of love.

No way.

There's no way she likes someone like me.

What was that about?

What was what?

That face.

It's the face teenage boys make

when their moms walk in on them
reading a lewd magazine.

Do you think I'm a teenager?

I'm working late tonight,
so you can go home.

What on earth did he hide so frantically?

What's this?

Why has he kept this hidden?

HALF DAY OFF, PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE

"Memorial service."

His daughter's birthday?

TYPE PIN

I knew it.

He has the mind of an amoeba
when it comes to setting passwords.

"High-schooler"?

It can't be.

-Where's your school uniform?
-Right here.

How much?

It's 150,000 won for 3 hours

and 250,000 won for 8 hours.

Okay. Let's go for the longer option.

Sure.

This punk is the absolute worst.

This really does...

look bad.

I'm right. He's a piece of trash.

This is beyond even my expectation.

Will you report him? Or shall I?

No, don't report him.
Don't even think about it.

But...

Just reporting him won't cut it.

He must be utterly humiliated
before he's dismissed.

What will you do?

I have...

a plan.

CONFERENCE ROOM

MODEL DETECTIVE AWARD CEREMONY

Please look out for our team.

I will, of course.

Will you consider me
for promotion next time?

I don't believe this.

Who would have thought
I'd get to write about you being awarded?

Be quiet. Go sit in the corner over there.

Why? Give me an exclusive.

Dr. Brain will be here.

Stay out of his way
unless you want an earful.

I'll have to do that

if Dr. Brain will be here.

How about a drink afterward?

It's this way.

Detective Geum.

Hello.

You look great in uniform.

Thank you.

I haven't worn it in a while,
so it feels a bit awkward.

I was surprised to hear
you'd be here, Dr. Brain.

I assumed you didn't like ceremonies.
Thanks for coming.

Not at all.

We'll begin the ceremony
to present Sergeant Geum Myeong-sae

with the Model Detective Award.

Don't you think
he looks amazing in uniform?

He doesn't look like a dad at all.

You have terrible taste in men.

What?

The man you fell for is a piece of trash.

"Trash"?

You'll soon see what I mean.

-"This award goes to
-No.

-Sergeant Geum Myeong-sae."
-I'm late.

"The above person carried out
the duties of a police officer

with an unwavering
sense of patriotism and duty,

serving as a model for many to emulate."

October 14, 2022,

Senior Superintendent Kim Gi-ha
of Seobu Police Station.

Congratulations.

Sergeant Geum Myeong-sae
will say a few words.

I...

I don't know what to say.

I stayed up all night
trying to come up with what to say,

but my mind is drawing a blank.

First of all,

thank you so much for your kind words.

Thank you for coming

despite your busy schedules...

Where's your school uniform?

Right here.

What's going on?

How much?

It's 150,000 won for 3 hours

and 250,000 won for 8 hours.

Isn't that a schoolgirl?

Okay. Let's go for the longer option.

Sure.

I think we have
another interesting case on our hands.

Are you saying that she took on human form
and harmed your wife?

That woman isn't my wife!

You may be able to see what's in here...

You can tell if someone's been in love
by their eyes.

I also know someone like that.

Someone who k*lled because of love.

Why did you do that?

-I warned you.
-You little...

Hit me only if you can handle
what comes next.
