02x08 - Beating Cult With a Cult

[bunniefuu]

(Lee Je Hoon)

(Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin)

(Jang Hyeok Jin, Bae Yu Ram, Shin Jae Ha)

(Taxi Driver 2)

(All characters, organizations,
and places are fictional.)

(Some scenes of a criminal nature...)

(could make you feel uncomfortable.)

And I will not give up on you!

The operation I had set
up in Cotaya was perfect.

Don't!

It couldn't be easily infiltrated.

- I'll break in.
- But they managed to do it.

What do you know about it?

Did you give these people...

They can treat me, not the hospital.

Father's word heals.

Father's word heals.

Are you telling me to pay for your meal?

Are you kidding me?

You must always watch your head.

(Land)

The ground is in the sky.

What?

Is there a folk village
nearby? What's this?

Gosh.

Why did the engine suddenly die?

The phone is...

Hey. If you have a phone, let me borrow it.

You're still alive.

What?

You're from...

How dare you!

Get lost!

The wicked being ran away for now.

But it'll soon come back.

For your life.

(You may make calls now.)

What a crazy cult prick.

That is so lame.

You think you can make money like that?

He's calling you a cult.

I think he lacks faith.

If he lacks faith,

I shall make it full.

(Taxi Driver 2)

(Episode 8)

Father.

Okay, I'm all set.

When?

He died in the ambulance
on the way to the hospital.

How many witnessed it?

He collapsed during your
sermon and many saw it happen.

All right. You're dismissed.

You ironed the robe well.

- Thank you, Father. - Thank you, Father.

It feels nice to be in fresh clothes.

Let us move forward again
with the Power of Sunbaek.

Brother Lee Jung Ju...

had the warmest soul.

It's him again, isn't it?

You k*lled my dad!

You m*rder*r!

- Ok Ju Man! - I told him numerous times...

to head home and spend his last moments...

with his family.

However, the deceased...

- wished to stay by my side.
- What did you tell him?

What did you tell him?

I prayed for his recovery.

I wished for him to be well.

The recipient of his
life insurance policy...

was put down as Sunbaek Church.

Were you aware of that?

No.

However, he did mention it often.

He trusted me...

more than he trusted his family.

You liar!

You forced him to sign it.

The late Mr. Lee said...

- that he forgave his children. - You liar!

Don't you lie!

You can't do this, sir.

Detective, come on!

Darn peasants.

(The respected police ensure
the safety of the people.)

Here's your sticky rice cake.

(We Buy Gold at the Lowest Price)

Shouldn't we make him answer us?

You're right, Gyeong Gu.
Let's make him answer us!

Cool it, will you?

Didn't you hear what Mr. Kim said?

Ok Ju Man has to do this himself.

Whatever. I don't remember that.

Seriously?

Just a second.

Even if we teach that cult leader a lesson,

nothing will change as
long as his believers...

still worship him.

Kim is right.

We must shake their beliefs from the core.

So hold your horses and calm down.

You heard Mr. Jang, right?

Have you forgotten that
the success of this mission...

relies on you two?

So should you or should
you not get worked up?

We shouldn't.

We already had it installed.

Good job.

I don't know if this is because it's silk,

but the color is nice.

What the...

Darn it.

What was that?

I almost had a heart attack.

My gosh.

Was that all in my head?

What the...

What... No!

Darn. What's the matter with this?

Darn it!

Gosh!

Darn.

Darn it!

My gosh.

Gosh, I almost died.

sh**t.

Nothing's out of the ordinary?

Are you sure you conducted
a thorough checkup?

The brakes weren't working,

and I couldn't be free of my seat belt.

I almost died as a result.

Our mechanics conducted
a thorough checkup...

but didn't find anything
wrong with the car.

Also, you should be
more polite over the phone.

How could I possibly be
polite when I almost died?

This country and its swindlers.

They do whatever they can
to prey on their own people.

All they see are dollar signs.

(I will take you all to Sunbaek Hill.)

(I will take you all to Sunbaek Hill.)

Show yourself, darn it.

Get out here!

Ju Man, what's going on?

Show yourself!

Who are you talking to?

Someone's here.

Someone wearing a gat with narrow eyes...

was glaring at me.

What are you talking about? No one's here.

Ju Man, why don't you
see a doctor tomorrow?

They say you see things
when you're not well.

What the...

Darn it.

A brain disorder...

could cause visual and
auditory hallucination.

However, nothing showed up on your scan.

You tell your devotees not to see doctors,

but you're getting all
the tests available...

just because you had a little scare.

Are you religious?

I'm not. I don't believe in deities.

If not,

why don't you take up hiking or fishing?

Stress could be the cause.

Fine, whatever.

I'd like another IV drip of nutrients,

so hook me up with the most expensive one.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

You must always watch your head.

The ground is in the sky.

You're meant to die young.

Darn it!

The wicked being ran away for now.

But it'll soon come back.

For your life.

Finally getting antsy, are you?

Father Ok Ju Man is headed to Deluxe Hall.

(Kim Do Gi)

(Deluxe Hall)

(CEO of Red Box)

(I wish for good health.)

(Kim Do Gi)

Goodness.

Do you have an appointment?

Is that necessary?

I'm afraid so. We only take clients
who make appointments in advance.

When is he free?

Please give me a moment.

The fastest date will be December 19, 2025.

Would you like to book an appointment?

Unbelievable. 2025?

That's right. Goodness,
someone just took the spot.

Can I put you down for a slot in 2026?

- Are you kidding me? - I'm not.

What is with the ruckus?

Someone came to see you
without making an appointment.

Hey, you. We should talk.

How dare you?

How are you still alive...

and why are you causing a
scene on private property?

What?

If he keeps this up, have
the police drag him away.

Yes, Monk Kim.

What the...

Please leave.

You can exit the way you came in.

Please drive in reverse.

Do not turn the car around
for it will ruin the grass.

Now, leave.

Unbelievable.

What game are these two playing?

Please.

Please stop!

Your sister hasn't paid us back...

which means you should pick up her debt.

I gave you all the money you asked for.

We have a high interest rate.

What...

Are you all right?

Is she the sister?

No.

Did you let them in?

They barged in here, didn't they?

I didn't want to disturb my neighbors,

so I told them to come in.

I see. You invited them in.

Hey. I don't know what you are to her,

but everything about
this is legal, so get lost.

- Tell them to leave. - What?

Telling them three times...

will make this breaking and entering.

Please leave.

What?

Please leave.

Are you kidding me?

Leave!

Is this what I get for being nice?

Why you...

Darn it.

I forgot to return this.

We were only defending ourselves,

so suing us won't do you any good.

Collecting money this
way is ill*gal as well,

so don't you dare come back here.

Know that I'm holding myself back...

and staying within the
boundaries of the law.

Are you the police? Let's go.

It's okay. You're all right now.

Hang in there.

I'm sure your sister will be back.

Will she really be back?

You love her, don't you?

I'm sure she feels the same way about you.

That being said, let's have some faith.

Let's believe that she'll be back.

How can you be so sure?

Because we're working hard
to insert that faith in someone.

You did well.

Leave us.

Why did you bring him here?

- I told you to leave. - Sure.

How dare you do such a thing?

I had to wait until 2026 to
properly sit down with you,

and I'm not a man of patience.

Bad things have been happening
to me ever since we met.

Now I know why the wicked
beings on your shoulders...

remain dormant.

You know who I am, don't you?

They're waiting.

How long have you been tailing me?

They're waiting for their master to arrive.

The master that'll take you away.

Why can't I get through to you, you punk?

We're not able to have
a proper conversation.

You haven't been listening to me, have you?

Eyes in the shade of jade.

They have seen things that
shouldn't have been seen.

Cut the nonsense...

and tell me how long
you've been following me.

You disturbed something
you shouldn't have. Right?

Do you really wish to die?

The one who will die is you!

I don't usually beat
people unless it's for the job,

but you have asked for it.

Tell me about the wicked
being following you around.

Was it wearing a gat?

Finally, we're able to talk.

His eyes were narrow and sharp.

His mouth harbored wicked energy.

A beating always gets people talking.

You're already confessing...

Hold on. What the...

That's right.

The way I see it...

It doesn't seem like he'll give up.

Who are you talking to?

You should be looking at me...

What the...

Untie me right now.

- Right now! - My gosh.

You saw it too, right? What was that?

Do not come close.

Speak from where you are.

What was that?

What did you do to have
something so wicked haunt you?

You fool. What did you disturb?

Darn it. Why do you
keep accusing me of that?

What on earth could I have disturbed?

Why are you asking me...

when you disturbed it?

What do you mean...

What did I disturb?

It's more like you
smashed it than disturbed it.

I would watch my step if I were you.

Darn it.

He would be willing to sell out a nation.

I can sense a wicked
energy just from his features.

He is not one to give up.

Not until you die.

Me?

One on a pillar that is
touched by the morning sunlight,

one on a pillar that
embraces the moonlight,

and one underneath your desk.

How dare you approach him?

How else will I get those in my hand?

Promise me one thing first.

Do not seek me out again.

Ever since our encounter,

I have been stuck with bad luck.

For seven days and seven nights...

while the talismans display their force,

do not increase your riches.

Why not?

It will bring you bad luck.

It will bring you bad luck.

Stop that, will you? It's annoying!

Monk Kim spent his valuable
time writing this for you.

You ought to be grateful.

This will drive away
bad luck. There you go.

Stop it, will you?

Monk Kim.

Could you write a talisman for me too?

What kind of talisman do you want?

For more wealth, a
successful career, good health,

love, and marriage. I
want an all-in-one talisman.

All goes well.

Everything will turn out as wished.

I doubt this is going to
help me at all. Goodness.

Darn it.

Gosh, my back.

I know this won't work,
but I'll play along. Fine.

Who is it?

We are ready for service.

You can never get anything right.

Come on.

Is there something wrong?

Skip the sermon.

Get the cleansing ceremony ready.

Do not give up on the path of Sunbaek.

Do not give up on the path of Sunbaek!

Do not give up!

Darn it.

- Father! - Hold on.

Well,

I want to be healed first, Father.

It's the path of Sunbaek.

Lower your hand.

I will not give up on you.

- Father! - Father!

(Tiger Beer)

Look at this.

The chicken is getting
cooked right before our eyes.

Isn't it cool?

Gosh. Stop crying.

You can have both of the chicken legs.

Really?

Mr. Choi, Mr. Park. Where are you guys?

We stepped out for a second.

Are you all right, Mr. Park?

Are you okay, Mr. Park?

Mr. Kim.

I have never been
beaten this badly in my life.

Why did you run out there
and offer yourself to get beaten?

What choice did I have?

She already seemed so sick.
I couldn't let her get assaulted.

Gyeong Gu.

He hit me so many times, but
I'm not in any pain right now.

- Odd, right? - Come on, Mr. Park.

Did you drink the painkiller
water? I told you not to drink that.

How could I not drink it?
They were watching me.

But they are asking for
money even more blatantly now.

They said they had to build Sunbaek Chapel.

Gosh. Monk Kim told him
not to chase money for a while.

He never listens.

Mr. Park. Mr. Choi.

Let's go with plan B.

Okay. We're all set.

Gyeong Gu. Don't you
think you're working too hard?

Go home if you're not going
to give us your full effort.

I gave you the chicken legs.

I should pay a visit to Ok Ju Man's mother.

He must listen to his mom.

Ok Ju Man's mother?

She passed away a long time ago.

Right.

What?

This is dark energy!

- Gosh. What's that? - Goodness.

- What's going on? - Look over there.

- Oh, no. Look at that. - What is that?

- What is this? - What's going on?

- Oh, no. Look! - What's happening?

- Father! - What's going on?

Father. Your robe...

Gosh.

Darn it.

What?

Manager Baek. Get everyone out.

- Pardon? - Get all of them out of here.

Yes, Father.

The service is over. Please leave!

- What's going on? - What is that?

- Please leave. - Father, what's going on?

- It's nothing. - What is this?

- It's nothing. Please leave. - What?

- Tell us what's going on! - What is this?

- Please leave. It's nothing.
- All right. Go.

- Please leave. - It's nothing.

- What's going on? - All right. It's over!

Where are the talismans I gave you?

Yes. Right here.

Oh, my.

Are you sure someone
didn't sneak in here...

and painted the talisman?

No one came in.

No one knows about the talisman here.

- Why did you do that? - I see.

I just did that. No reason.

Knowing about your death...

isn't all bad.

Come on. Don't say that.
You're breaking my heart.

This is the money you gave me.

Stay away from me.

Hey, you can't leave me like this.

Have some sense of duty.

(Deluxe Hall)

How dare you?

Have you forgotten what
I told you? Go back down!

You can't leave me like that.

You have to get rid of those ghosts.

You'll bring us bad luck. Get lost.

Stop throwing this at me.

Oh, no. My salt.

Fine. If you're not going to leave,

I'll leave!

Gosh. Come on. Oh, no.

How dare you?

What have you brought with you?

Me? I brought this?

Hide.

Hide yourself right now
unless you want to die!

Okay. Where should I hide?

- Here. - Gosh.

This is a sacred sanctuary
where I serve my deity.

If you are visiting, show yourself.

If you are an evil spirit, get out of here!

If you are visiting, show yourself.

If you are an evil spirit, get out...

of here.

Hey. Get yourself together.

Hey.

Ju Man.

Ju Man.

Where's my Ju Man?

My son.

It's your mother. You're
not going to come out?

When Father Ok Ju
Man was a kid, he loved...

sticky rice cakes his
mother used to bring him.

Goodness, seriously?

You won't come out because
I didn't bring sticky rice cakes?

I forgot. So I couldn't bring
sticky rice cakes today.

Sorry.

Mom.

And...

Ju Man.

Are you scared that I might scold you...

for selling the cow without telling me?

Despite what you did, I
don't hate you, my son.

Liar.

You told me to get out
and wished that I was dead.

I only said that because I was upset.

My son. I only want you
to be safe and healthy.

Is that...

really you, Mom?

My son. I will never...

let anything happen to you.

Ju Man.

Life has been tough on you, right?

My son.

My Ju Man.

You know that I love you
the most in this world, right?

Mom!

Ju Man.

I will...

never...

give up on you!

Mom!

Mom.

- Mom. - Gosh.

Nicely done.

Nothing good happened ever since I met you.

How are you going to fix everything?

Forget it.

Please do me a favor.

Don't you ever come back.

Did my mom write this down?

Your mom wrote it down. How
should I know anything about it?

I don't know anything.

I know what this is.

One, nine, five, one, five, two, four.

That's my dad's date of birth.

And the second line is
my dad's date of death.

And the next two lines...

are my mom's date of
birth and her death date.

And I see these numbers
in the last two lines.

One of them is my date of birth.

And the numbers in the last line...

Then your mother has
come to let you know...

your death date.

My...

death date.

The 23rd.

Then you don't have a lot of time left.

Go.

Go back home...

and spend the remaining
time with your family.

Monk Kim!

No mother in this world...

would visit their son to let
him know his death date.

She told me my death
date, so I would beat death!

So I can survive!

I told you to leave!

Please.

Please help me!

You cannot be reasoned with.

I believe he's asking you...

to perform an exorcism to defy death.

How dare you? Shut your mouth!

Exorcism to defy death.

Please perform that ritual!

Do you even know what you're requesting?

To perform such an exorcism,
even I have to risk my life.

It's very dangerous!

Why must I risk my life
to save someone like you?

No!

Gosh.

Your mother is trying to save your life...

at the expense of mine.

I will do anything you ask!

Fine.

I'll do my best...

to save you.

Thank you.

I'll never forget your help.

This way.

Bring that here.

In 1, 2, 3. Ta-da.

While I prepare for the ritual,

you cannot pray...

or chase money.

Okay.

- Father! - Father!

- Father! - Father!

Be quiet!

You are not to bring or give offerings!

Don't even pray!

- Father! - Father!

Spirits!

Spirits?

You must always keep this on you.

This cannot leave your body.

I understand.

Do not cling to money.

That's the only way for us to survive this.

I understand.

(Open)

(Life)

Gosh, Father Ok had stashed a lot of cash.

For the instruments, we must
bring in the master players in Korea.

I understand.

What are you doing?

You gave that to me!
You can't take it back!

Shut it. You'll bring me bad luck.

He's giving you everything
he has just like you asked.

Apparently,

once faith is formed, it's game over.

(Post Box, Fire Escape Ladder Box)

(Loan approved)

(Notice of secured loan approval)

A secured loan?

Why are they tying him up?

- That hurts. - I don't know.

We're doing everything to extort money.

There you go. Tie him up tightly.

Goodness.

Get lost!

Yes. Get lost!

Evil spirit.

Get lost!

Darn it.

Why are you answering
his phone? Who is this?

Where?

My gosh.

I can withstand this pain,

because I believe I'm
fighting the evil within me.

Father's Sunbaek spreads
throughout my body...

and to Sunbaek Hill...

Jin Sun.

Get lost!

Mr. Kim, Jin Sun passed out.

The sicker you are, the
more Sunbaek you become.

You went to a hospital behind my back!

Get lost!

Jin Hee.

There was no way I could get better.

Until I met him.

You'll understand in time.

How great the Power of Sunbaek is.

Wouldn't it be gone by now?

I think it's gone.

It is gone.

Monk Kim. It hurts.

It hurts.

Darn it.

Father summoned me...

and told me to lead his children...

to Sunbaek Hill in his place.

He transferred the Power of Sunbaek to me.

With Father's grace, now I am your Mother.

We visited 60 countries around the world...

and found our paradise...

What do you think you're doing?

- Father! - Father!

I told you not to gather,
that you'll jinx me.

Why won't you listen to me?

- Father! - Father!

Father!

What do you think you're doing
when you believe in some shaman?

Do not insult the great monk!

There's a three-year waiting list
if the likes of you want to see him!

Have you gone crazy?

Me, go crazy?

You can't even memorize
the script I gave you,

and you call yourself "Mother?"

"Mother?" What a joke!

Let go of me.

Let go!

Let go!

Are you religious?

I'm not. I don't believe in deities.

- What did he say? - What?

- What's that? - What's going on?

What if they end up dying?

They were meant to die. What about it?

I'm innocent by law.

I bet you'll end up in purgatory.

Purgatory my foot. Do
you believe in that stuff?

How immature.

Get lost, evil spirit!

Get lost!

- Get lost! - Go!

At this point, what's the
point of bringing her out?

She'll go back in there with her own feet.

Yes, unless Ok Ju Man orders her to leave.

The cult leader would kick
his followers out on his own?

Is that possible?

We must show them...

he's just a weak human blinded by greed.

The decision will be theirs to make.

They'll stay...

or leave.

Darn you!

I told you not to pray!

You'll jinx me!

What are you staring at?

Get everyone out!

Did you...

Did you lie? Did you deceive us all?

Did you?

Didn't you hear me?

Send them all away!

Was it all...

a lie?

It wasn't me. I just did as he said!

What?

- My money! - Pay me back!

- I'm... - What'll you do now?

I'm your Father, you punks!

- Darn you! - I want my money back!

Let go!

No!

(Sunbaek Hall)

Where are they?

(Sunbaek Hall)

Don't worry. She'll be out soon.

- Look. - They're coming out.

- They're coming. - There she is.

- She's there. - My baby!

- My gosh. - Son!

- My dear boy! - Gyeong Gu!

- Darling! - Gyeong Gu!

My gosh...

- Gyeong Gu! - Yes, you did well.

Well done.

Jin Hee.

Jin Sun.

I'm sorry.

I must've been possessed.

- Do you feel cold? - No.

It's so nice to walk with you.

- Jin Sun. - Yes?

Let's get you healthy again
and come back next year.

Okay.

(Deluxe)

Where are you going?

What about our building?

I don't care for that haunted place.

I'm sure this is the place the monk said...

Hey. Wait for me!

Don't just stand there. Come in.

Before the other things follow.

What other things?

Get in here already.

Darn it.

- Why are you so dull? - What's going on?

- Be quiet. - What...

Will you open the door? Please?

Let's see your face again.

I want to confirm something.

Will you open the door for a bit?

Just for a bit, okay?

(K Line)

Excuse me?

Can you open the door? Sir?

Open the door!

That hurt.

Open the door!

What's happening to us?

What are they doing outside?

Mister!

(Mr. Kang)

(Deluxe)

Where are we going?

It all depends on the monk.

Darn it.

(Monk)

Hello, Monk Kim.

I'm no monk. Call me Kim Do Gi.

Though I doubt we'll meet again.

Oh, gosh, no.

I wouldn't dare say your name.

I think I saw that ghost again.

Why? Are you afraid?

I think he followed me
here because I'm jinxed.

Isn't that nothing compared
to how the families...

you split up felt?

Sir. What should I do?

You sound so very afraid.

Why not pick up a religion?

What? A religion?

A religion offers much strength...

and comfort to those who need it.

That's what a real religion does.

Goodbye.

What are you suddenly...

Hello?

Darn it.

Why is there no signal?

Monk Kim.

That darn ghost appeared again!

Monk Kim!

(Deluxe)

I'll take the taxi out of service.

Good job, everyone.

You had all the followers
taken in to be treated?

That must cost a fortune.

The haunted house.

Now that it's no longer haunted,

it's worth quite a lot.

I'm hungry.

How about some spicy soft tofu?

No way. I can't do
anything white for a while.

How about jajangmyeon?

I want to avoid black foods.

Then yet again, we're left with no choice.

It'll have to be your
favorite, Korean beef.

Korean beef's the best
when you feel empty inside.

Let's do that. Let's go get Korean beef.

By the way,

how did you get the crows to squawk?

How did you pull that off?

What crows?

That was so fascinating.

And scary.

That...

wasn't us.

What do you mean it wasn't you?

They're right above me...

Hey.

Drive faster.

What's going on?

Where are they?

I'm stepping on it as hard as I can, okay?

Hi, Go Eun.

Are you at home?

Mr. Choi bought fried
chicken. Come join us.

No, thanks. Count me out.

Mr. Choi rarely treats us.

What are you drinking?

A protein drink.

The thing you drink after a workout?

You've been drinking that for a while.

Is it the fizzy kind?

It's nice, light, and tasty.

I'll treat you to some fizz!

- Come on over! - Come over!

Stop it.

Come to Rainbow Chicken
if you change your mind.

I will. Have fun.

Do Gi.

Oh, were you exercising?

No, I was wrapping up.

I brought some coffee.

I need your advice.

Are you free?

It tastes different up here.

Is it the view...

or the company?

I'm in no position to give anyone advice.

I wouldn't know what to say.

I just had a feeling you'd know the answer.

I have lots of younger brothers.

Recently, they've been getting beaten up.

And a lot.

So I went over furious, to get revenge.

But I just couldn't figure out
why he beat up my brothers.

It's not like they have a grudge.
