Revelations (2025)

[bunniefuu]

MISSION NATION CHURCH

The Lord's great grace has taught me

The Lord has bestowed on us his grace

When I feel the Lord's miraculous love

The Lord's boundless grace

When I follow the Lord

He answers my prayers

When I follow the Lord

He gives me peace

When I follow the Lord

He answers my prayers

When I follow the Lord

He gives me peace

REVELATIONS

Hello, sir. You're here.

Let's go and grab a bite to eat.

That man followed you?

Hey, don't look.

You're popular, A-yeong.

Did that old man follow you?

Got a death wish?

It's gotten a lot better.

- I see.

- Yes.

Sorry, one moment.

Hello.

Is this your first time here?

Hello, I'm Sung Min-chan,

the pastor in charge here.

Oh, I was just passing by

and saw this church, so...

I see.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, I...

I have business to attend to.

Wait.

Please stay for some coffee.

- I swear, he followed me.

- It's just your imagination.

- Sorry.

- Sorry about that.

Are you all right?

Are you sick? Should I call an ambulance?

No, I'm fine.

Let's go.

Take care.

- I'll see you at the next service.

- Yeah.

The large should fit you well.

I know you joined us on a whim today,

but I hope to see you again.

Do you live in the area?

Yes, I do.

Then do come by again.

It'd be nice to see you regularly.

Do you go to church?

I used to, when I was a kid.

I see.

It's not unusual to attend church

regularly as a child

and become less involved as you get older.

There are those phases.

You see,

in that process,

you receive revelations and come to accept

God's calling for your life.

I just realized I never asked your name.

May I have your name?

My name is Kwon Yang-rae.

Mr. Kwon Yang-rae.

What is that?

Well, this is...

REGISTRATION FORM

This is our new member registration form.

You know,

we never needed this back in the day,

but everything's digitized now.

So, these things do come in handy

from time to time.

We're a new church, so...

Gosh, this is embarrassing.

Look.

Like I said, I just dropped in

because I was passing by.

But this isn't a complicated form.

I mean...

It's simple.

We just need your name and number.

It's nothing.

Oh, right. Hold on.

A photo would be very helpful as well.

I'll delete this as soon as I print it.

See? I deleted it.

Oh, no.

I have to make an urgent call.

I'll be right back.

This is just a simple form,

so please fill it out.

I'll be right back.

Hello, sir.

Hello. So?

Your hunch was right.

I think your wife's been seeing

her personal trainer for quite a while.

They meet up about three times a week.

I'll send you some photos now.

Check them out.

You're working too hard.

Not at all.

I can't thank you enough for your help.

So? Should I gather additional evidence?

By "additional evidence,"

what exactly do you mean...

They meet often, so the next time

I see them go into a motel,

I can take pictures and videos of them

making out and having sex

and also look for

condoms or tissues with semen.

Of course, if they don't use condoms,

my boys can find and collect traces

of semen on your wife's body,

so don't you worry.

So, should I gather more evidence or not?

Hello? Sir?

Oh, you're leaving already?

Well, I have some business to attend to.

I've filled out the form.

My shoes...

Here.

Don't fold down the back of your shoes.

You'll ruin them.

Here, put them on.

Church is...

a place for sinners.

God loves us all.

That man...

Did he register?

Well, kind of.

Honey, you should get going.

- Yeah. Get ready and meet me outside.

- All right.

Hi, Dad.

Now?

No, I'll join you.

All right. I'll be home soon.

You can just drop me off

at the subway station.

What's this school reunion for?

It's a college reunion.

I told you, didn't I?

I might be home a little late.

Can you pick up Yeon-u?

My gosh.

They're here building on a Sunday?

Well, actually,

I hope they work hard and finish soon

so we can get new church members.

What's that?

Hold on. Pull over.

HEAVENSFOLK CHURCH

I guess they're building

a new church here.

Hold on. What?

Pastor Jung's listed!

OWNER: JUNG GUK-HWAN

Oh, my gosh.

Maybe he's going to ask you

to come and lead this church.

He brought you here

and told you to grow that tiny church.

This was his plan.

You picked up everyone

attending morning prayer for four years.

It's finally paying off, you know?

You should pay him a visit today

and gauge his reaction.

Okay?

I'm home.

I guess you didn't have to work today.

It's not raining now.

They sent us home early

before the rain starts.

The assistant manager will wrap things up.

Come on. Let's eat.

What's all this? You cooked up a banquet.

Tomorrow's your first day on the new team.

You should have some meat.

It's no big deal.

Is the construction almost done?

The scaffolding's coming down in two days.

Then, it's almost done.

Anyway, you were on a good team,

and there are easier paths to promotion.

Did you have to volunteer

to join the Violent Crimes Unit?

Well, it's nice.

It's closer to home.

My commute was stressful.

That b*stard, Kwon Yang-rae,

has been released. He lives nearby.

Really?

You knew, didn't you?

This is good. Did you buy the marinade?

Stop trying to change the subject.

You're not surveilling him, are you?

Let it go. Okay?

Put it behind you and live your life.

I'm curious to see how the building looks.

Show me once the scaffolding comes down.

You know you're all I have now.

If something bad happens to you too...

You do the dishes.

SKY PEACE CHURCH

Come in.

Pastor.

Hey, Pastor Sung.

Oh, no. Do you have a cold?

Have a seat.

You always work so hard.

You need to look after yourself.

I'm fine. It will go away soon.

Anyway, you've been working

very hard yourself.

How's the church doing?

Oh, it's nothing really.

Oh, I managed to register a new member

before coming here.

Don't get obsessed

with finding new members.

Just remember

that you're God's messenger

spreading his word on barren land.

Just remember that and keep going.

I will.

Oh, right. Was it "Heavensfolk Church"?

Yes, I guess you saw it.

Yes.

Well, my wife was more surprised

than I was.

You could've given me a heads-up.

Sorry. I've been all over the place.

Who's the right person for that church?

Right person?

Well, for the church you just mentioned.

Heavensfolk Church.

You've been in that area for a long time,

so I figured I should ask you.

Who would be the right person

as the pastor in charge?

Oh, as the pastor in charge...

Is there anyone who comes to mind?

I'm not sure, but...

I'll think about it.

All right.

Let's put our thinking caps on.

God will show us

who the right person is for the job.

Hurry! I told you to bring your umbrella.

Go inside first. Go on in. Quick.

Oh, Min-chan.

Hey, Hwan-su.

Just a minute.

It's been so long. What brings you here?

Oh, I came to see Pastor Jung.

I'm leaving now.

I see. You came to see my father.

Hey, you probably know

that he's building a new church

in your neighborhood.

Oh, yes. I heard.

The church elders keep saying I should

lead that church. I'm in a pickle.

I see.

Your father told me he was looking

for the right person to lead the church.

He asked for my opinion.

He asked you for your opinion?

What was he thinking, asking you about it?

What's wrong with him?

He's making things awkward.

Of course, you're the right person.

You've been spreading His word there

for years.

And let's be honest, what do I even know?

I am definitely underqualified.

I should go talk to my father.

No, don't.

It's not like it's our call.

God will show us the right person.

- We should just...

- Pastor, we'll be going then.

Wait up.

Anyway, I have to go.

I'll call you. We'll talk again.

- Keep up the good work.

- All right, bye.

Sorry. Let's go.

Dear Heavenly Father, please watch over me

so my pure faith in you,

my Lord, who carries all my burdens,

is no longer shaken

by worldly temptations.

But, Lord,

if my leading the new church

does not go against your will,

I'd like to take on this new challenge,

dare I confess.

Please show me your will...

WIFE

LEE SI-YEONG

Hello?

Where are you?

Are you with Yeon-u now?

Yeon-u? What are you talking about?

I asked you to pick up Yeon-u

because of my college reunion.

Right. There was

something I had to do, so...

What did you have to do?

The service ended hours ago!

Then what do we do? What should we do?

What's wrong? What did the daycare say?

They said some man came and took Yeon-u.

I assumed it was you.

What do we do?

Yeon-u's been kidnapped!

What should we do?

Honey, go to the daycare

and ask them what he looked like.

If something happens to Yeon-u,

it's all on you.

Do you hear me?

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY

KWON YANG-RAE

ADDRESS: 9, 8-GIL,

MYEONGHWA-RO, MUSAN CITY

Hey, Yeon-ju.

Are you still not talking to Dad?

You should call him.

Okay, I will.

Hey, what's wrong?

Are you feeling sick?

Yeon-ju?

No.

I just woke up.

You just woke up?

Do you know what time it is?

You said you'd cut your commute

so you could study more.

Are you studying hard?

Yes.

I'll call you back later.

All right.

Call me if you need me for anything.

Yeon-hui.

Yeon-hui, do you remember?

The day I moved into my place.

We had a housewarming party

and took this picture together.

It's a great picture of you.

But you know what?

I regret getting my own place.

Do you know what I kept thinking

when he was holding me c*ptive?

"Someone will come and rescue me."

"My sister will get suspicious

because she's smart and goes

to the National Police University."

But...

the person walking through the door...

was always him.

Yeon-hui.

Why did you do that?

Why?

Why didn't you come to my rescue?

Why?

In ten meters,

you will arrive at your destination.

POLICE

Hello, what's your emergency?

Yes, hello. I'm...

My kid has gone missing.

Your own child has gone missing?

Kwon... Kwon Yang-rae...

You know,

the r*pist who lives in the area.

That r*pist... I mean,

I'm in front of his house now.

- But I'm...

- Please calm down and explain.

I think he's planning

to dispose of something.

He has a shovel...

Sir, did you witness a crime?

No. Like I said, my kid has gone missing,

but right now...

When was your child last seen?

Kwon Yang-rae,

the r*pist who lives in the area.

Look him up and you'll see!

Sir, have you reported your child missing?

Please send some officers

to Kwon's home now.

I'm now... Hello?

FOXHILL PASS

Pastor, is that you?

I believe you've been following me.

What's going on?

If you don't have anything to say,

I'll just head home.

Yeon-u.

Yeon-u.

Yeon-u!

Pastor.

What are you doing?

Move.

EMERGENCY

WIFE

LEE SI-YEONG

I found Yeon-u.

You know Yeon-u's friend No-el, right?

No-el invited Yeon-u over,

so No-el's dad picked them up.

He told the teacher, but the message

was lost during the shift handover.

Anyway, No-el's parents

should've called us to let us know.

If I'd told you, you would've told me

not to play with No-el.

I told you to keep your hands up.

Stop your crying!

Where are you?

Inspector Lee Yeon-hui?

Hello, ma'am.

I'm So Eun-gyu, Assistant Inspector

for Violent Crimes Unit 4.

- Oh, hello.

- The captain is asking for you.

There's a new case,

and everyone is in the briefing room.

Let's go.

Okay.

It's not a simple missing person case.

Oh, there they are.

Before we start the briefing,

meet Inspector Lee Yeon-hui,

a new member of Violent Crimes Unit 4.

Say hello.

We landed a big case last night,

so it's a bit hectic.

Okay, listen first.

At 10:30 p.m. last night,

Sung Min-chan,

the head of Mission Nation Church,

called the police.

He said Kwon Yang-rae,

a two-time convicted sex offender,

who wears an ankle monitor and

lives nearby, might be up to something.

Kwon cut off his ankle monitor

and has disappeared.

And a middle school girl

has been reported missing.

Name, Shin A-yeong.

She also attends

the Mission Nation Church.

After the service,

she and her friends went to karaoke,

but she never returned home.

Unit 1, start interviewing

Shin A-yeong's friends.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Unit 4, you guys interview the man

who made the report last night.

Get moving.

We are now blocking off

8-gil, Myeonghwa-ro.

The CSI unit will be here in five minutes.

- You're here.

- Yes, hi.

- Oh, man.

- I think Kwon did live here.

But I don't know how, given the condition.

What? There's no power?

No. The electricity has been cut off.

Hey, try moving all the furniture

out of the room.

Yes, sir. Hey, give me a hand.

Sir.

This b*stard is a real sicko.

SENTENCE FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

SENTENCE FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

TURN ONESELF IN

Hello?

Yes, hello.

Are you Mr. Sung Min-chan?

Yes. How may I help you?

We're police officers.

We're here because you called us

to report Kwon Yang-rae last night.

You said it looked like

he was going to get rid of a dead body.

Oh, right.

The thing is, Kwon Yang-rae

came to my church yesterday.

I noticed he had

an electronic ankle monitor.

It surprised me.

Then I got a call

saying my kid had gone missing.

For a moment, I suspected Kwon Yang-rae,

so I went to his house.

Then...

Then what?

Well, I saw him holding a shovel.

I assumed he was about to get rid

of a body, so I called the police.

Then what about your child?

Oh, we...

We were mistaken. Well...

We found out later

that he was at a friend's house.

I see.

A middle school girl named Shin A-yeong

has gone missing.

Wait, the A-yeong who attends this church?

Yes.

What? What happened to A-yeong...

May I look around this room?

Yes, sure.

How long was Kwon here?

I asked him to fill out

our new member registration form,

then he left

when I stepped out to take a call.

Pastor, what did you do

after you reported it?

I went home.

Mind you, we have no evidence of him

doing anything to her yet.

We're investigating it now.

Please give us a call

if you remember anything else.

Will do.

PASTOR, I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE

YESTERDAY, I...

MIN-CHAN... LET'S TALK IN PERSON.

COME TO MY CHURCH NOW...

Pastor.

There's a big problem.

I guess you already heard...

about Hwan-su.

I taught him to always do what is right.

What was he thinking,

dating a church member?

He hasn't even been married that long.

Well,

you know how soft Hwan-su is.

He's too soft for his own good.

That's why he let her seduce him.

Anyway, I told him to end things with her

as soon as possible.

I said he should go back to his wife

and repent, but that girl...

The girl he's been seeing

posted details of their relationship

on the church's website.

Look at what she wrote.

I'm telling you.

She approached him on purpose!

My goodness...

As for Hwan-su...

I'm going to send him abroad

for a few years to do missionary work.

So he can get away from all this.

This is crazy.

How could he be blinded by lust

when his duty is to serve God?

I always told him to live his life for God

and nothing else.

Min-chan,

maybe it was

all part of God's plan.

Pastor.

Don't you smell something sweet?

About Heavensfolk Church,

the church I'm building now...

I'm hoping you can lead the church

as the pastor in charge.

I suppose that is God's will.

And we must follow His will.

Min-chan.

Lead Heavensfolk Church

and do your best to grow it.

I will follow.

I will follow...

God's will.

Kwon's probation officer said

he showed no indications at all.

And he worked hard

at the demolition company.

Right, and he hasn't missed

a single session with me.

His condition had improved significantly.

Do you know when he drew this?

Our forensic team's working on it now,

but it looked like it was drawn recently.

Recently?

He showed no indications

but committed another crime?

He must be Kwon's psychiatrist.

Mental illness can be caused

by many things,

including genetic factors.

It's hard to narrow it down

to one specific cause,

but being abused by his stepfather

as a kid must've played a key role.

How was he abused?

He was beaten,

ended up with a dent in his skull,

and his hand was dunked

into boiling water.

He was also waterboarded,

lying face up on the bathroom floor.

And he was sexually abused as well.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

Mr. Kwon still has

over a hundred scars on his body

from the abuse he suffered for ten years.

After experiencing something like this,

is it possible to develop

into a well-adjusted adult?

Not everyone with such experiences

develops criminal tendencies.

However, I think

many things would've been different

had he been treated in time.

Mr. Kwon was abused for ten years.

It was when he was sent

to juvenile hall for as*ault at age 16

that he could finally escape his stepdad.

As a young boy, he was...

Wait, what are you doing?

Yeon-hui.

Order.

Why...

Why try to create an excuse

for someone like him?

- Did you smirk at me?

- Please remove her.

- Did you just smirk?

- Remove her!

- Let go!

- Come with us.

- Yeon-hui.

- That b*stard is the devil!

- He's the devil!

- Come on.

- Whose side are you on?

- Please calm down.

Let go of me! I said let go!

Let go!

Dr. Lee Nak-seong.

It's been a while.

Lee Yeon-hui,

from the Violent Crimes Unit.

Wait, have we met before?

You must remember

Kwon Yang-rae's case from five years ago.

Lee Yeon-ju, who was abused

while being held against her will

but managed to escape and call the police.

I'm her sister.

I've always wanted

to ask you this question.

Why did you do that back then?

Why did you create a reason

for Kwon to get away with it?

You see, back then...

I testified as an expert witness.

You know I'm a psychiatrist, right?

I study and treat mental illnesses.

You treat them?

And after all those years of treatment,

why is Shin A-yeong missing?

It's all your fault.

Because you created an excuse

for that devil.

That's why this happened again,

after just a few years.

He's not the devil.

Kwon is just a human being, a broken one.

If you want to save Shin A-yeong,

you need to learn more about Kwon.

As the victim's family,

I understand why you feel that way.

I get it, but as a detective...

I should get going.

His story went viral after the trial!

Everyone talked

as though he deserved pity.

As if he had no choice...

SYMPATHY FOR THE OFFENDER

...but to turn out like that.

Shortly after that,

my sister, Yeon-ju,

took her own life.

She survived horrible t*rture and escaped.

But you...

You k*lled her.

Pastor.

Pastor. Pastor Sung, right?

- How may I help you?

- I'm A-yeong's mother.

Oh! Yes.

What brings you here?

A-yeong... Why is my daughter...

My gosh, ma'am.

Let's go inside and talk. Come with me.

Why my daughter...

Ma'am. We will find A-yeong for sure.

Yes, we have to.

But, Pastor...

If...

Just hypothetically...

What if something has already happened

to A-yeong?

What are you saying?

Don't think like that.

I know, but if...

What if...

If I suddenly get a call from the police

and hear that something happened

and that I have to confirm it's her...

You must stay strong, ma'am.

A-yeong is alive.

Right? She must be. Right, Pastor Sung?

- Right?

- Yes. Of course she is.

Let's pray together.

Our living God, the Lord our shepherd.

You guide and protect us

every step of the way,

so you must know where A-yeong is

and what kind of situation she's in now.

Even if your little lamb, A-yeong,

is in a dark place now,

we believe that she is alive

and that you are with her.

Lord, please remember

this difficult moment.

We earnestly seek the Lord's help.

This is from a camera near Kwon's home

a day before his disappearance.

He deliberately damaged four cameras

near his home over the weekend.

It seems that he came up

with a thorough plan a few days prior.

Well, what was the control center doing

while he broke four security cameras?

They thought the lightning

and heavy rain broke them.

Any home security cameras

or dashcams in the vicinity?

We checked but couldn't secure a visual

because of the rain.

This is nuts.

Yes.

Oh, okay. Got it.

- Captain, they found Kwon's car.

- Where?

Near Foxhill Pass on Cheonil Mountain.

- Hey, get moving. Go!

- Yes, sir.

I can just take the bus, you know.

No way. Of course I'll take you home.

You must stay strong, okay?

Ma'am, how about

we all pray together tonight?

Everyone who loves A-yeong

will come together and pray for her.

- Then I'm sure...

- Hello?

What about A-yeong?

No, I'll come now too.

No. I said, I'll come now too!

Send me the address.

What was that about?

They found that b*stard's car.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Where is it?

Starting the search in Zone A-3.

- Forensics is on it.

- We haven't found anything.

Copy that.

Something will come up.

Find anything you can.

Yes, sir.

Please send an additional unit

to Zone A-4.

Okay.

Are all officers and detectives present?

That b*stard... I wonder why he came here.

Where did he go after abandoning his car?

Do you think A-yeong escaped

on their way here?

Maybe.

Oh, my. What is this?

Find anything yet?

Forensics!

Search over there too!

- Found anything?

- Not yet!

I know. I'm her dad. Let me in.

Please, why are you being like this?

Please stop!

Please let me in, just for a moment.

- Honey!

- You can't go in!

- Move!

- You can't...

Where is A-yeong?

They're still searching.

Let's go that way.

- A-yeong!

- You can't go in.

We are A-yeong's parents!

You need to tell us what's going on!

A-yeong!

What's going on?

- A-yeong!

- They're Shin A-yeong's parents.

- We'll look for her. Please!

- A-yeong! A-yeong!

Guys, it's okay.

Hello, you must be A-yeong's parents.

Have you found my daughter yet?

No, not yet.

We haven't found any clues yet.

But you found his car.

Right, we did,

but we are still investigating.

And no body either?

"Body"?

"Body"? Do you mean...

Is my daughter...

Does it mean A-yeong is... A-yeong!

- Honey!

- Ma'am!

- Medics!

- Here, over here!

Honey, are you okay? Stay with me.

Man, what are we going to do?

He broke all the cameras,

so we can't find any leads.

Hey, was there no dashcam in his car?

No, no dashcam.

- So, we've found no evidence?

- No.

It rained a lot yesterday,

so I'd be surprised if we found anything.

Seems like the universe

is helping that b*stard.

What's gotten into you?

You never liked volunteering

at the care home

because of the pastors' wives

and their politics.

Aren't you holding a prayer service

for A-yeong?

You should get ready.

Si-yeong.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

What?

Don't you have anything to confess?

Confess? About what?

Si-yeong.

It's all my fault.

I caused all of this.

But...

I've repented for everything.

It's your turn now.

Got anything to tell me?

What are you saying?

Damn it!

Listen carefully.

That new church they are building.

Pastor Jung asked me

to be the pastor in charge.

Actually, I looked into it.

Everyone else knows

Hwan-su is getting that church.

Did you say

Jung Guk-hwan was your spiritual father?

- You're so ridiculously gullible...

- Hey.

Watch what you say.

He's sending Hwan-su abroad

to do missionary work.

You know why?

He had an affair.

He committed adultery.

Hey, I'm sorry.

But you see, this is God's revelation.

If we want to receive this revelation,

we must become pure before God,

completely free from guilt.

Si-yeong.

Got anything to confess?

I...

I have to go.

God knows everything.

There's nothing He doesn't know.

Confess.

I committed adultery.

Louder.

Almighty God.

I committed adultery.

Louder!

Say it louder

so your confession can reach God.

Almighty God, I committed adultery.

- Amen!

- Amen.

Amen!

Amen!

- Amen! Almighty God.

- Amen, amen...

This lost sheep repents

of her sin and begs.

Please hear our earnest repentance

for our sins.

Almighty God...

Sir, it's completely stuck.

Hello, do you need a hand?

No, it's okay.

The tow truck's about to get here, thanks.

- All right, then.

- Be careful. The road is narrow.

YEONGJIN ASSISTED LIVING CENTER

- My gosh.

- Ma'am.

- Hello.

- You're early.

Goodness, Pastor Sung.

What brings you here?

Did you just come to drop her off?

You two are still so in love.

It's all thanks to their faith.

You're filled with God's grace.

I should've arrived earlier

and prepared everything.

The caterer will take care of everything.

We'll just watch them cook

and talk about

how there's so much evil in the world.

- My Lord...

- What's taking them so long?

What is it? Is something the matter?

No. How come the ambulance isn't here yet?

Oh, we saw an ambulance on our way here.

It looked like there'd been an accident.

Oh, no.

What's wrong? Is someone hurt?

Well, a man showed up earlier,

covered in dirt and blood.

He crawled here and passed out.

I think he's badly hurt.

He needs to be taken

to a main hospital now.

Something must've happened to him.

I think he crawled here

from that mountain.

My goodness. That sounds serious.

Where is this man now?

We moved him to the ward upstairs

so he could lie down.

But if the ambulance isn't coming...

Pastor Sung asked if they needed help,

and they said a tow truck was coming.

That's a relief.

Oh, ladies. Don't you need to oversee them

set up the cafeteria?

Yes, let's do that. We should get changed.

- And take some pictures too.

- Yes.

You should go inside. I'll get going.

Why? You should stay and eat with us.

I'm holding a prayer service this evening,

so I should get ready.

All right, then.

Then I'll take you to the room

next to the cafeteria. Come with me.

- Go on in.

- All right.

A pastor...

A pastor tried to...

A pastor tried to k*ll me...

This isn't my will.

It's all God's will.

You took so long!

- Where's the patient?

- Upstairs.

Quickly. This way.

So, it was this man?

Yes, that's him.

We had no idea he was a criminal.

We even gave him first aid.

That must be why he fled.

- Can we see the ward where he was?

- Sure.

It's this way.

Can we check the footage

from that camera up there?

Oh, that camera is very old.

It doesn't actually work.

Could we get in trouble for that?

We're struggling

to keep this place running.

We don't really know

the laws related to that.

He was here.

He took him.

Someone took him?

Who?

God took him.

Amen.

Sir, did you just say "amen"?

You hated the church.

What a surprise.

Well, I must believe in God

to meet an angel!

He's had dementia for over 20 years.

Yes, that's right. We believe you, sir.

How many ways in and out are there?

Is there a back door?

One over here and an exit by the kitchen.

I see.

Before You, our hearts...

Who are they?

Oh, they're pastors' wives who come here

to volunteer on a regular basis.

Could we get a list of their churches?

Yes, of course.

Giver of immortal gladness

Fill us with the light of day

You must be surprised to see me.

You managed to survive, but I showed up.

You...

Why are you doing this to me?

Good question.

I'm really curious too.

Why does the Lord

keep leading me back to you?

Why?

I hadn't been

to that care home for a while.

When I woke up this morning,

I suddenly wanted to go there.

Why?

Why today of all days?

The day of Pentecost.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit!

God sent me the Holy Spirit

and led me there.

Holy Spirit?

You're just trying to hide the fact

that you tried to k*ll me.

Hold on.

It's all clear to me now.

Now I know why God keeps leading me

to a man who is Satan's spawn.

He wants to see

how faithfully I can follow his orders.

I mean, this place too.

A new golf course was announced,

so they rushed to build this hotel.

But the developer went bankrupt.

It's been abandoned for over three years.

Who knew this creepy derelict building

would be so useful to us?

God prepared this for us.

It's God's providence!

Isn't it truly marvelous?

You... You're a total lunatic.

So?

Are you going to k*ll me?

I don't know.

God will give me another revelation.

We are God's servants who obey His orders.

If you k*ll me,

you'll never find that girl.

The one I kidnapped...

What?

The girl who goes to your church.

She's alive.

Where is A-yeong?

Call the police,

and I'll confess everything.

Where is A-yeong?

If you k*ll me now,

you're also k*lling her.

Tell me where she is!

Call the police.

What's wrong? Are you scared?

Glory to Jesus, who died on the cross

For our sins

The cross he carried

I will carry it now

Amen!

His cross...

Where is A-yeong? Tell me!

Just call the police, you satanic b*stard.

Do we have their dashcam footage?

Yes, everyone parked here

has given us their consent.

Go through the footage

as soon as you get to the office.

Lee Yeon-hui.

- You should call it a day, Inspector Lee.

- Pardon?

We can't throw you a welcome party,

but we can at least make sure

you don't work late on day one.

There are only a few files anyway.

Go home and rest up.

Get going.

How long has it been

since she was last seen?

It's been 24 hours, sir.

The chances of her still being alive

are dropping dramatically.

Thank you, Pastor.

Today, we will read...

Deuteronomy 24:7

together.

"If someone is caught kidnapping

a fellow Israelite

and treating or selling them as a sl*ve,

the kidnapper must...

die."

"You must purge the evil from among you."

- Amen.

- Amen.

Amen.

Let us pray.

Dear Heavenly Father.

Everyone who loves your little lamb,

Shin A-yeong, is here now.

We know A-yeong is in heaven

watching over us.

And A-yeong's mother is

utterly devastated.

Please allow her to feel

the sense of peace A-yeong is feeling now.

Amen!

We know that you never ignore

our sincere prayers and cries for help.

Amen!

You never let evildoers go unpunished

and always purge all evil from this land.

God, we remember your wrath,

your fairness, and your righteousness!

Amen!

You love the righteous,

but you hate sinners and detest sin!

You rained fire and sulfur

on Sodom and Gomorrah as punishment!

Now, with your right hand

majestic in power,

judge all that is evil

with your consuming fire!

Annihilate the sinner!

May your will be done!

We will shout "Lord" three times

and pray together.

- Lord!

- Lord!

- Lord!

- Lord!

- Lord!

- Lord!

Lord!

- Lord, your eternal grace...

- Please, Lord!

Amen.

Yeon-hui.

Just k*ll him.

Now's your chance, Yeon-hui.

k*ll him.

This is the moment

you've been waiting for.

Do it now.

Don't you feel bad for me?

I thought you wanted to avenge me!

Hurry up and do it. Now!

That b*stard is the devil.

If you don't k*ll him now,

he'll go on to hurt more people.

k*ll him now!

If you k*ll me, that girl will die too.

Hurry up and call the police.

She's still alive.

He's lying!

Yeon-hui,

he's the devil.

Don't side with the devil.

Kwon Yang-rae, I'm a police officer.

Where is Shin A-yeong?

Take me to a hospital first.

Just hurry up

and tell me where A-yeong is.

I know you'll k*ll me after I tell you.

No, I won't. I won't k*ll you, so...

Just tell me where A-yeong is!

You insane b*tch.

You expect me to believe you

when you're glaring at me like that?

f*ck.

There are so many lunatics

in this neighborhood. Do you know that?

Tell me, you scumbag.

Where is A-yeong?!

Tell me right now!

Pastor! What are you doing?

You think everything's a coincidence?

There are no coincidences.

He led us here.

Snap out of it.

Untie me, now!

You see, God's will isn't something

we mere humans can understand.

I had a bit of a dilemma earlier.

"What am I going to do with the body

once I k*ll that evil b*stard?"

"Should I just burn it?"

"Or should I chop it into pieces

and dump it somewhere?"

But God sent you to me, Detective.

A-yeong! Do you know where A-yeong is?

A-yeong is dead.

She's lying somewhere dead.

So let's forget about A-yeong now.

It's time to follow God's will

and punish this b*stard

for what he did to A-yeong.

Pastor, please turn yourself in.

It's not too late.

He shot and k*lled you

while grappling with you,

and he fell to his death.

Snap out of it, please.

If you k*ll him, we'll never find A-yeong!

Didn't you hear me? I told you she's dead.

That devil k*lled her.

That's right. It's you.

You're Yeon-ju's sister, aren't you?

I wondered why you were following me

and giving me that stare.

But let's be honest.

Did I k*ll her?

- What?

- Did I?

She jumped to her death on her own.

- Am I wrong?

- What did you say?

If everyone k*lled themselves

over a few days of suffering,

I would've died 10,000 times by now.

Do you know that? f*ck!

Every night, that one-eyed monster came,

tied me up, and hit me...

Shut up, devil!

Don't you dare flick your forked tongue.

Stop! We have to find A-yeong.

I told you she's dead. She is dead!

Otherwise, I would've never received

the revelation to k*ll him!

God is perfect! He never makes mistakes!

Please do something

about that crazy pastor.

Don't you want to save A-yeong?

Shut up, you b*stard.

- You're lying to get out of here alive.

- He says she isn't dead.

I won't fall for your lies!

He says A-yeong is alive.

He says A-yeong is alive,

that she isn't dead!

Why would you let the devil deceive you?

Can't you tell that he's lying?

If we don't k*ll him now,

there will be more victims like A-yeong.

Glory to Jesus

Who died on the cross for our sins

The cross he carried...

Look at that.

He's clearly insane.

He's a child of Satan.

He is the devil.

Because of people like you

who side with the likes of him,

the world is becoming more evil.

All I take my pride in

Is His cross...

The girl...

The one-eyed monster ate her.

The one-eyed monster.

- Inspector Lee!

- Medics!

Hey, you two!

Tell me!

You can die after you tell me!

His heart isn't beating.

We'll transport him now.

Hey, I told you to go inside and check!

He says he received God's revelation

to k*ll Kwon Yang-rae.

I don't think he has any idea

where Shin A-yeong might be.

Damn it, that crazy b*stard.

Sir, I think his car

was found near Foxhill Pass

because he was headed to

Redevelopment Zone Four in Myeongbuk-dong.

Kwon had been working there

for three months and knew the area well.

I bet he took her there

if he needed a place to confine her.

How much time do you need

to comb through that area?

I'd say at least three days.

Three days? Then it'll be day five.

The chances of her being alive

after five days may be low.

The Lord's great grace has taught me

I feel the Lord's boundless grace

The Lord's boundless grace

When I follow the Lord

He gives me...

Hey!

What are you waiting for? Get moving.

- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!

Inspector Lee, don't worry.

Just go home and get some sleep.

I'll call you if we find her.

Hey.

Mr. Kwon.

Hey, Mr. Kwon! Hey!

Yes?

We have to demolish everything here

by the end of the day, okay?

- Okay, got it.

- All right.

Oh, come in.

I was surprised to get your call.

DAD

IMAGE

SCAFFOLDING CAME DOWN

So, about that pastor,

I reviewed everything you sent.

I think it's a classic case of apophenia.

"Apophenia"?

It refers to the tendency

to perceive meaningful rules,

patterns, or connections

between unrelated things.

What you're seeing now

is called pareidolia.

They're natural phenomena, but some people

believe they see specific images.

Those people attach profound meaning

to everything that happens by chance.

Dr. Lee.

I'm here

because I want to know

what kind of person Kwon Yang-rae is.

Horrible, isn't it?

He was abused almost every single day.

Every time it happened, his mother

sang hymns outside his room and prayed.

He talked about a one-eyed monster

before he died.

What do you think

this one-eyed monster could mean?

It may symbolize his stepfather

who abused him,

or Kwon himself.

Do you see the people in its mouth?

I'm not sure if it means

he's in the monster's head,

or he became the monster himself

and swallowed the victims.

It's all speculation.

It's like a puzzle,

but one thing's for sure.

That monster is deeply connected

to his traumatic memories from childhood.

Do you see things?

My sister...

I see her sometimes.

And what happens when you see her?

What does she say?

She says she waited for me to rescue her.

But the one coming through the door

was always him.

You know it's not your sister.

That's not Ms. Lee Yeon-ju.

It's just an illusion

created by your guilt.

I know.

I know it's all an illusion.

But I just can't shake it off.

Even now, as we speak,

A-yeong must be waiting to be rescued.

She must be waiting to see someone

walk through the door and save her.

But again, there's nothing I can do.

What if we fail to find A-yeong?

If something bad already happened to her...

it's all on me.

It's all my fault.

This is all my fault!

All right.

You think it's all your fault.

Kwon blamed his crimes on the monster,

while Sung says it was God's revelation.

And you think it's all your fault.

It may all sound different,

but it's actually not.

You're all fixated on one thing

and think it caused the situation.

You see, most tragedies in life

are caused by a combination

of circumstances we can't control.

Things like the devil and monsters

are created by humans

to justify themselves.

Then what should I do now

to find A-yeong?

Let's just focus on the things

that we can actually see.

Kwon was getting better,

so what triggered him?

We must find out

what awakened his monster.

I'm sure there's something we missed.

Sir, the dean would like to meet with you.

You can go through the documents.

To your right! A little bit more!

Stop!

I would've died 10,000 times by now.

Do you know that? f*ck!

When I was young,

every night, that one-eyed monster came,

tied me up and hit me...

DAD

Hi, Dad.

What's going on?

You're not responding to my texts

and didn't come home last night.

I know. I've been busy.

There's a new case.

Anyway, what's up?

Didn't you see the picture I sent?

The scaffolding came down.

You wanted to see it.

Oh, right.

Hold on.

Well, the exterior is done, but we'll need

another month to complete the interior.

There are lots of big remodeling jobs

in this area.

They want to completely fix up old houses.

- Wait, Dad. But...

- My goodness.

This one was stressful because the client

wanted to accentuate the one-eyed thing.

"One-eyed"?

That's right.

See the round window right under the roof?

It's called an oculus.

Some also call it a one-eyed window.

Gosh. Back in the day,

they built many houses like that.

But you rarely see them these days.

Are you listening?

What is wrong with this phone?

Ta-da!

Pretty, right? Come here, Yeon-hui.

Let's take a selfie together.

One, two, three.

Kwon was getting better,

so what triggered him?

We must find out

what awakened his monster.

Kwon Yang-rae's trigger.

Yes, Inspector Lee.

- I sent you a photo. Did you see it?

- A photo?

The "one-eyed monster" Kwon talked about

was a house with a circular window.

Check the street view

of Redevelopment Zone Four

and find a house with a window like that.

- That's where A-yeong is.

- Okay, got it.

Find a building with a circular window

like this in Zone Four. ASAP.

- Got it.

- Hey, share the photo quickly.

This is it.

DETECTIVE SO EUN-GYU:

23-7 MINDEULRE-GIL

Who the hell are you?

Wait, hang on.

Hang in there.

I kept telling myself

that someone would

walk through that door and rescue me.

It's all right.

You're safe. You're okay now.

You're okay now...

Mr. Sung Min-chan.

We found A-yeong.

You found her body?

No.

She's alive.

She's being treated in the hospital now.

She's still traumatized by what happened,

but her doctor says

that she's recovering quickly.

That's impossible.

I swear, I was told she died.

Who said that?

Pardon me?

Who told you that she died?
