The Fiery Priest (2019) s01e02 Episode Script

1
ALL PLACES, INCIDENTS AND NAMES
IN THIS DRAMA ARE A WORK OF FICTION
Come here. Who told you to do this?
Mr. Oh, the loan shark.
Now you prey on innocent senior citizens?
Father, you must listen to what God says.
You're a priest. Why are you so impatient?
Is there anything we can do?
I need to leave here to get released?
Welcome back.
Why did you accept me?
Stay out of trouble and behave yourself.
Hey, you!
How dare you eat bread during Mass?
What's wrong with the priest?
You're going to attack
the Exit Three Gang.
-Are you coming too?
-I'm also in the violent crime squad.
Receive your punishment.
Did you apologize to your colleagues
and ask for forgiveness?
No.
Go and sincerely ask
for their forgiveness.
You can go now.
But Father.
Isn't it against the church rules?
Putting holy water on your forehead
won't automatically get you to heaven.
I'll let you off today.
Because you're so freaking handsome.
Let's keep some common sense
and reason in our minds, okay?
-Let's go.
-The priest abandoned us!
No, I didn't.
Oh, God Almighty!
Why does it thunder now?
You asshole!
Get off of me!
Let go of me!
-Get off of me!
-You crazy bastards.
-Come here.
-Damn it.
Let him go.
Let him go.
What?
What?
What?
Don't sin.
Let go of him first.
I was wondering who it was.
You're the new priest.
I was wondering who it was. You're the one
that was sitting in the center.
This is between us locals,
so keep walking.
I'm a local as of yesterday.
Who are you to tell me to keep walking?
Are you okay, Mr. Hwang?
Do I look okay to you?
Are you a police officer?
Yes, I am.
Then you can't just sit back and watch
people getting stomped!
Gosh.
Where did he come from?
Move it.
-Do you go to church?
-No, I'm Buddhist.
-What about you?
-I've been to church once.
Were you calling out for God
after only going once?
Well, you happened to be walking by.
Do you know how awkward
this is for me because of you?
I'm caught in a mess again!
-Gosh.
-Should I call 911?
Who else would you call?
Stop being ridiculous.
Move it.
What happened to you? Who did this?
Mr. Hwang did.
He stapled my forehead with a huge stapler
for not selling land for a cheap price.
Look, Mr. Seo.
Stop lying.
This isn't under the best circumstances,
but I'm Hwang Cheol-beom.
Are you the local thug?
A thug? Me?
I don't see anyone
that looks like a thug here.
Everyone looks like
they belong at the police station.
You're not being very nice.
Why don't you go
when I'm being nice as a believer?
I'm so scared I'm pissing my pants.
I should get going.
Father Han?
I have all of you on camera.
Don't get caught on my radar
doing anything stupid.
State your name and rank.
Detective Gu Dae-yeong
of Gudam Police Station.
You aren't getting promoted,
since you don't do your job.
Gosh.
Let's go.
Go to the hospital if you need to.
-Move out of my way.
-Let's go.
Can he see I missed out on promotions?
Who does he think he is?
Detective Gu.
Set up some boundaries.
Okay.
Why do you always look upset
whenever I talk to you?
Is it still about what happened back then?
No, of course not.
Then smile.
Those people
You have an extraordinary way
of talking to people.
I beat people down with my mouth.
Hwang whatever-his-name-was
is a gangster, right?
Yes, I think so.
Although his official title
is CEO of a company.
Priest Lee should be pickier.
He accepts everyone.
The church is open to everyone,
all sinners.
I wish we could
disqualify or suspend believers.
Isn't that against God's will?
Who knows what God's will is?
What?
NO ENTRY
-Sir.
- Hi.
What brings you here?
I went hiking nearby
and stopped by.
I see.
I'll take you to an amazing
duck stew restaurant.
It's okay, I have plans.
I came to give you this.
Here you go.
CEO Kim of Hanju Group
gave me some Korean traditional cookies,
but it was too much,
so I brought you half.
Oh, I see.
It would be weird to give it to you
at work.
That's why I came here.
I'll enjoy it. Thank you.
Make sure you don't get sick eating it.
Chew it thoroughly. Got it?
Yes, sir. Thank you. Drive safely.
You're welcome. Bye.
Goodbye.
Why is my heart racing
when I'm opening a box of cookies?
Wow.
My gosh.
It's exactly half.
What's this? Why do I feel disgusted,
yet so confident?
SEOUL GUDAM POLICE STATION
Hello.
-I want jjamppong!
-There's only one jjamppong.
This is mine!
Right or left!
You get jjajangmyeon.
-Have a seat.
-There's another one here.
That's tangsuyuk sauce.
Have jjajangmyeon.
All right.
Detective Gu, have you closed that case?
Yes.
Since you've all been complaining
about being understaffed,
we have a rookie. Say hello.
Hello, I'm Seo Seung-a.
It's nice to meet you.
You look like a suspect, not a detective.
What are you good at?
I was on the Sepaktakraw National Team.
I'm good at kicking criminals faces
with my scissor kick.
You've had a rough life,
unlike your looks.
Can I introduce myself?
That won't be necessary.
Your sketch looks like crap
And you have no conscience
I'm staring at you with my evil eyes
The blanket you'll end up with
Is the blanket of justice
I caught you
I'm the light of the world!
I see.
Of course.
We need to choose her partner.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Hey, wait.
Oh, that's right.
Nice to meet you, sir!
Turn faster!
-Faster.
-Faster.
-Faster.
-Faster.
You're here, Father.
-How have you been?
-Good.
I don't know how long I'll be here,
but let's be good friends while I am.
Father Lee lied.
About what?
He said the new priest is very handsome.
That's what I always hear.
You aren't ugly,
but you have big nostrils.
That's because you're looking at me
from below.
I look much better from here, right?
-Father.
-Yes?
I think you have lettuce in your teeth.
Come here, you little rascals!
Throw it, you idiot!
I heard there are children.
-There are no children!
-We need to check.
I already checked, you idiot!
Do you want to die? Throw it right now!
Throw the grenade, you idiot!
Father, are you okay?
Are you really okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Here you are.
You almost missed him.
This is Father Kim Hae-il.
Hi, I'm Bae Hui-jeong.
Hello.
I'll be inside.
All right.
I was inspired by your sermon today.
It was nothing but thank you.
I'm sorry, but I'm running late.
BAE HUI-JEONG PSYCHIATRY
You can visit me whenever you're free.
Excuse me?
See you next Sunday, Father.
-Please take good care of him.
-Of course.
Have a talk with Dr. Bae.
You can open up to her.
I don't need help.
How would you know that?
You aren't a doctor.
All I need is to pray, meditate
and have soju with you.
If you catch a cold,
do you go to the hospital or pray?
I pray.
I prayed even when my appendix burst.
Some things don't work by praying.
-I don't want to go.
-Wait.
It's this old man's wish.
Give it a try.
I'll beg you like this.
-What are you doing?
-My kneecaps
All right, I'll go. So get up.
Do you promise?
Thank you.
I fell for it.
I always let that old man
get the better of me.
What happened
at the groundbreaking ceremony?
-Look.
-Yes, sir.
Why are you being so sloppy lately?
Are you trying to tell everyone
you're a gangster?
I took care of it. Don't worry.
When will you get rid
of those lousy habits?
I'm sorry, sir.
I'll try my best to lose my old habits.
Gudam Cathedral.
How are the welfare facilities going?
I'm pushing for it.
You said you'd settle it
within a month. What happened?
The property belongs to a priest.
It isn't easy because he isn't a nobody.
That's why I had
Mr. Hwang take care of it.
Do what thugs do
like you have always done.
The most urgent matter
is Gudam Cathedral.
-Look, Mr. Hwang.
-Yes?
Get this settled.
-I'll move faster.
-Listen.
If you mess this up,
don't plan on making a living in Gudam-gu.
Yes, sir. I'm sorry for concerning you.
This one.
Welcome.
You were eating bread, right?
Did you know eating is not allowed
during Mass?
Yes, I did.
Did you know you can be banned from church
if you get caught eating?
-Yes, I did.
-Then why
Then why were you eating?
Why did you eat something that big?
Father, I can't hear on an empty stomach.
I can't hear what you're saying.
What does an empty stomach
have to do with hearing?
It's true, I swear. I swear to God.
Did you just swear?
Still, how could you?
Don't ever eat in Mass again.
Don't eat even if you can't hear.
Don't just nod. Answer me.
Okay.
You must live near the cathedral.
Would I be dressed like this if I didn't?
Is it okay for a priest
to drink that much?
I'm saving it for later.
Yes, right.
Oh,
I'd like to go to confession
to you next week.
My job puts reformation
and rehabilitation first.
I decline.
My job is to judge and convict sinners.
What kind of priest are you,
so prickly all the time?
He's so hot even from up close.
I should've put some makeup on.
What was that?
Look,
act tough somewhere else. Got it?
Geez, I didn't expect that.
-What are you doing?
-What?
One of the kids
threw away a treasured toy
as she was throwing trash away.
It's a small toy rabbit.
She is bawling that she lost something
her dad bought her.
I promised to find it for her.
That's why you're going through
the recyclables?
What else can I do?
Tell her dad to buy her another one.
Her dad
went to heaven
in a car accident two months ago.
I understand she's sad,
but this is too much.
This is what a priest is supposed to do.
I find precious things people have lost.
I help the found item
give soul peace.
I don't believe this.
Forget it.
Go in and sleep.
I don't want to give you
an excuse to nag at me later.
Right?
This would be enough
for me to nag at you for a year.
I found it.
Is this the toy rabbit?
Yes, it is.
This is it! We found it!
Cleaning up will take ages.
Gosh.
SEOUL DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
He's being falsely charged.
Our artist was just at the party.
CEO Kim's son's party.
How could you accuse him
of distributing drugs?
I heard he admitted to it at your house.
That's because he was scared.
Also,
isn't this a coercive investigation?
I won't let you get away with this.
I'll get help from big law firms and
Listen.
Big Pig Entertainment's
What's your name?
President Park Jae-beom?
Yes.
Coercive investigation?
Big law firms?
You seem quite determined.
It's very annoying.
Would you like to go to court
along with that singer at your agency?
I could dig up dirt on you
if that's what you want.
I wasn't trying to annoy you.
I'm very annoyed.
It's the worst feeling I've had this year.
What?
-Mr. Park.
-Yes?
You wouldn't be losing
if you shut up and accepted the situation.
You'd be learning how to lose.
You have to learn how to lose
to survive longer.
That's enough of your rash behavior.
Get going within five seconds.
I haven't had anything to eat yet.
Can you order me a jjamppong rice,
Ms. Seo?
I feel like something greasy.
Me too.
I'll order two jjamppong rice,
one jjajangmyeon.
Fried dumplings on the house.
All right. This is the main area
we have jurisdiction over.
-Watch closely.
-Okay.
This is Chinatown.
There are many good restaurants.
The lamb skewers at this place
are to die for.
-Let's get off here.
-Okay.
CHINATOWN
What's over there?
The sign is in a foreign language.
There?
That's the Russians' turf.
There's something you should keep in mind.
Don't ever go there alone.
It's very dangerous.
They don't go easy on cops.
They can stab you and run away on a boat.
That sounds exciting.
Then you must not go there alone, either.
Of course, I do.
Do you know who they're most terrified of?
Do you have a mean punch?
Sign up for funeral service
if you're going to fight me.
It sounds like you're bluffing.
Spending time with a legend,
you could experience cognitive dissonance.
I hope we get our hands
on a bad guy today.
I haven't kicked anyone for a long time.
CHINATOWN
Why is she kicking suddenly?
I have a bad feeling about this.
It's Pororo!
I love playing too.
Don't say a word
-and stay put.
-Father.
It's okay.
Welcome.
Are you here for cookies?
Why do you always offer me cookies?
Is that your way of swearing?
"Have some cookies".
Is that it?
-Stop it.
-Oh, no.
Please don't do this.
How dare you!
Please don't do this.
You're wasting good food.
This is the last time
I'm warning you.
I'm going to sit here all day
and beat everyone who comes here up.
Please don't do this.
What did we do wrong?
I'll tell you.
You didn't listen to my boss.
Stop this.
You're sinning by doing this.
Then send me to hell!
Oh, no.
Do you want me to send you to hell?
Go away, Michael.
You're the punk of a priest
we saw yesterday.
Let's take this outside.
Don't, Michael.
Why?
Are you going to beat me up?
I'll use your face to wipe
the entrance to the cathedral.
No.
Priests know how to bluff nowadays.
All right, let's take it outside.
-Come on.
-I told you to stop.
Do you need to pray?
Are you religious?
Stay here, Father.
They're trash that isn't even recyclable.
-Come on.
-Trash?
Stop right there!
Detective Seo, let's just go.
What's that?
Are you a rapper?
Wait right there.
What are you doing here?
NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
They always come and harass us.
Today, they even hurt the head priest.
Last time, they
Is this cute girl a rookie?
I need you to come with me.
If you're a rookie, act like one.
You have no idea what's going on, do you?
We shouldn't let people like Mr. Hwang
come to church.
You didn't learn anything.
What kind of church
discriminates believers?
Do you think people like that
would repent and follow God
if they come to church?
How dare you, in front of the cross!
Even if they don't change,
it's our job and calling
to wait until they do change.
Most people don't change even if we wait.
Why do we have to live like that?
Do you think this will change the world?
Get angry when it's necessary.
There are others
that change the world by getting angry.
We are to change the world in our way.
How?
We make bad guys feel good
by blessing them.
Blessing isn't something
you give out like candy.
It's the medicine that will warm
their cold hearts.
We should wait.
Why do you ask me to wait?
Waiting isn't everything!
I didn't lead you to become a priest
to fight against the world stubbornly.
I hoped you would embrace others
with your pain.
My pain?
Hae-il.
Get rid of your hate and pain
and save others. That's your job.
No, I'll remove scumbags
and protect good people.
That's my job as a priest.
Name?
Jang Ryong.
You moron. Your real name.
Do you think this is funny?
You're happy for someone
who has a purple cheek.
What can I do when it's funny?
Come here.
I'll slap your right cheek
to match the left one.
Detective Seo.
Let them go.
Excuse me?
They were harassing people
at the cathedral, including myself.
Come on.
When will you solve real cases
if you're tied down with them?
-Mr. Lee!
-Quiet.
Hurry up and uncuff me.
Thank you, Mr. Punishment.
-Don't bring that up--
-Have you heard of it?
Okay.
I'll see you again, hip hop girl.
Keep a helmet on.
You don't know when I'll kick you.
You should wear a bulletproof vest.
You never know
when you might get stabbed.
-Why that
-Leave it alone.
Hey.
It's her first day here.
Go out for a team dinner.
Thank you.
What do you want?
I know a great tripe restaurant.
-Mr. Hwang!
-Yes.
Is this the best you can do?
I told you to solve it
and you made a bigger mess!
I'm sorry.
Don't be sloppy
and make sure you take care of it.
You heard the Congressman.
If you don't take care of this,
don't plan to make a living here!
Hun-seok,
do you believe in God?
Will we really go to hell
if we sin too much?
Never mind.
Even if I go to hell,
it'll be okay if I'm the boss there.
Am I right?
That troublemaker
THIS IS GUDAM POLICE STATION
THE OFFENDER WAS RELEASED
PLEASE GIVE US A CALL
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
I've emptied my stomach.
I have to stuff it with food.
This was it.
Mr. Punishment of Gudam Station.
Why are you watching that?
I heard the Gudam Station
Exit Three Gang got you.
The life of a detective
-means all kinds of--
-Mr. Gu.
All kinds of what?
This is just embarrassing.
I was wondering
why you were so scared of them.
Detective Seo.
Each area has--
Where did they go?
I asked where they are!
They were let off with a warning.
What? Why?
It wasn't anything serious.
It was just a small incident.
A small incident?
How is threatening a priest
and damaging property
a small incident?
Then should I request for a warrant
for this?
Of course you should.
It shouldn't end just with a warning!
You're a priest. Don't yell at me.
I was an idiot to have trusted
Actually, I never trusted you.
It's just as I expected.
Excuse me, Father!
Put the water purifier back together!
No!
I don't like you!
What is wrong with that priest?
I'm leaving.
Let's have that team dinner later.
Where are you going?
You promised to have dinner.
Tripe.
Detective Seo!
It's precious tripe they only sell
until they run out for the day!
Hello?
What is it at this hour?
Right now?
It's the same here
as where you used to be, right?
No, it's totally different.
Everything sucks worse
and is more embarrassing.
Why do you let bad guys step all over you?
Sir.
Do you know the first rule
of firefighters?
Yes, it's to save people's lives.
Save people's lives.
-Check it out!
-No.
It's to keep yourself safe.
I see.
Then why are you a police officer?
You should become a firefighter.
You can't get rid of bad guys.
What?
If I could get rid of them
by sacrificing myself,
I would have given myself up.
But that's not how it works.
Give them what you can.
Save yourself.
Just make sure the world keeps turning.
That's what realistic cops do.
Realistic cop? Bullshit.
I'm leaving.
This is embarrassing.
Anyone other than Korean citizens
are considered the enemy.
It's okay to shoot them down. Okay?
Heat it up.
Don't skip breakfast.
There you are.
-What is it?
-Father Lee missed morning Mass
and I can't get a hold of him.
VIOLENT CRIME SQUAD
This is Detective Gu Dae-yeong,
violent crime squad, Gudam Police Station.
What?
The phone has been turned off.
Gosh.
The phone has been turned off.
His phone is still turned off.
Where did he go?
When did you last see him last night?
When he went to bed.
He wouldn't go anywhere
without telling us.
The phone has been turned off.
What is it?
Next, I have some sad news.
Father Lee of Gudam Cathedral
was found dead
at the bottom of a cliff.
The police assume it was suicide,
but a suicide note
hasn't been found at the site.
He was an honorable man and--
Hail Mary, full of Grace.
The Lord is with thee.
No!
No, this can't be true.
Wait.
No.
It can't be suicide.
That is what the circumstances suggest.
He even left his shoes on the rock.
Someone else could have put them there.
Then you're saying it's a homicide.
Who would kill Father Lee?
What about Hwang Cheol-beom's men?
They could have held a grudge.
They are nothing.
They were just playing around.
Then why would he commit suicide?
He ate well and went to bed happily.
He has no motive.
I'm sorry to say this,
but sometimes no one senses the motives
and it happens out of the blue.
He's lived for God and others
his whole life.
He's stronger than anyone I know.
Suicide is one of the greatest sins
to Catholics.
You think Father Lee would have
committed such a sin?
There might be something
you don't know about.
I told you there isn't!
Why do you keep yelling?
I officially request for an investigation.
Check all the traffic and security cameras
along the path Father Lee
would have taken from the cathedral.
I also want an autopsy done.
It needs to satisfy certain requirements
for an investigation.
It isn't easy to look through the CCTVs.
We can't investigate this to comfort you.
Also,
we can't get a warrant for an autopsy.
Look.
The bruises under both armpits
are identical in size and shape.
It doesn't make sense
that he got them as he fell off the cliff.
How would that happen?
I saw this when I studied bruises.
When someone grabs a person
before he dies
To be exact, this happens
when the blood is flowing
right before a person dies.
That means he was moved
when he was still alive.
Think about the path.
There are rocks of various sizes
to the top.
It would be hard for even
a young man to reach it.
Do you think it's possible
for an old man with bad joints
to get there by himself?
There are many reasons
he could have gotten the bruises
and even people with bad knees
can go up that path.
So don't come up with wild ideas.
That's why I'm asking for an autopsy.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
There are always unexpected accidents.
Don't side with him!
That won't solve this problem.
The church wants
an investigation and autopsy.
This could blow up bigger than we thought.
If we can't handle this,
we might have to give up on all our plans.
I'll take responsibility
and come up with something.
How would we trust you?
I'll risk my life to solve this.
Do you have a plan?
Yes.
In exchange, I'd like to ask
those of you here
for a bigger slice of the pie.
-Are you sure you can do this?
-Yes.
If you can succeed in this,
you can get whatever you want.
Let's hear your plan first.
However,
you need to do a clean job.
Yes, sir.
You, boy, are connected to my soul.
So wherever you go and whatever happens,
we are destined to meet again.
This is what a priest is supposed to do.
I find precious things people have lost.
Hae-il,
you seem to be getting a drink by yourself
and I didn't want to disturb you,
so I'm writing you a note.
I'm sorry for yelling at you
earlier today.
I know all about your pain.
I've aged,
but I haven't changed.
You're the first to hear this,
but I often get very angry.
It happens several times a day.
The reason I hold it in
is that I don't like it when it lingers.
A priest's anger should be
about the world and others,
but your anger
is still about yourself.
Nevertheless,
I believe you'll get angry
for the right reason one day
and do something amazing
that no one else can.
Anyway,
I can picture your scowl tomorrow
triggered by a hangover.
I'll cook you bean sprout soup.
It'll be refreshing.
I love you, Hae-il.
Read this.
FATHER LEE YEONG-JUN'S DEATH DETAILS
Is this necessary?
Not if it ends quietly.
If it doesn't, we'll go with that plan.
Still, how could you do this?
It's the chief's orders.
-Wait.
-What?
Why do I have to take this case?
I ended up getting involved
without knowing why.
Don't ask questions and just take it.
Don't you want a promotion?
All the others got promoted.
Dae-yeong.
Do a good job with this case
and get yourself promoted two steps up.
I'll trust you with this.
Why we can't do an autopsy?
The prosecutor won't approve of it.
I told you about the trail
and showed you pictures of the body.
Did you tell him the same?
That isn't enough.
Who is the prosecutor in charge?
Why would you want to know that?
He won't meet with you anyway.
So, who is it?
You should leave.
Being stubborn won't get you anywhere.
-Who are you?
-I'm the chief.
Then you must have gotten briefed.
What is the reason you aren't
doing an autopsy or investigation?
The police isn't here
to fulfill your wishes.
We have to follow the rules.
Rules?
Since when did you follow the rules?
Even if you're a priest,
you can't speak to the police like that.
I wouldn't say this if you do your job.
What did you just say?
How dare you!
I'll walk you out, Father.
Let go of me.
You never do anything right here.
I have something to tell you.
Stop him from coming here.
Watch it.
The chief won't let you off
this easily if you do this again.
PROSECUTOR IN CHARGE PARK GYEONG-SEON
I'm sorry
about what happened to Father Lee.
Don't be sorry about anything
other than not allowing an autopsy.
Have you heard about my analysis?
I heard it all.
You must like TV shows like CSI.
Am I right?
If you say it's hard evidence
after watching TV shows,
you could go to jail.
I'm only saying that because it is.
Father Kim.
Don't think your hopes are the truth.
You're just as I expected too.
You don't have a soul.
You're as I expected too, Father,
making holy insults.
Did you think I'd get excited
and allow an autopsy
if you showed up here?
Please allow an autopsy!
I'm so stressed.
You'll get kicked out
if you raise your voice any higher.
Come on, Father.
Take your hands off of me.
I'll walk out by myself.
When I walk out, I'll make it public
to the media and the Vatican.
Do as you please.
Post it on social media
and start a one man protest in the cold.
I'm worried you'll come down
with something.
One more thing.
Stop coming to our church.
Why do you come if you won't
live according to God's will?
Do priests have the right
to stop believers from going?
I have the right to reject you
like you're rejecting the case.
As of now,
you are disqualified as a Catholic.
Says who?
Says I.
Disqualified?
Did you hear that?
I'm disqualified as a believer.
That's unbelievable.
I need something sweet.
He isn't there, either?
Okay, bye.
That's weird.
Why? What is it?
Oh,
it's the head of general affairs.
I can't get a hold of him since yesterday.
There's so much to take care of.
Father Kim!
-What is it?
-Take a look at this.
It is assumed that Father Lee
of Gudam Cathedral
committed suicide at Mt. Yeongyu
from the stress
of being investigated by the police.
According to the police,
Father Lee was secretly being investigated
for sexually assaulting a church member
and embezzling and misusing church funds.
It is believed
that he was feeling pressured
and took extreme measures.
-The police stated that evidence
-What?
to back up this theory has been collected.
They're going too far.
If it is proved to be true
that he committed suicide
because of scandalous charges,
including sexual assault and embezzlement,
this will come as a shock
to not only the religious community,
but also everyone else.
GUDAM POLICE STATION
This must be my first time
seeing you smiling.
Evidence was fabricated. He was framed.
Don't you know what he was like?
That's total nonsense!
I let my guard down because he's a priest.
How could you not protect yourself?
Be careful. This priest beats people up.
What brings you here?
I'm here to send you to prison, Father.
You have to go somewhere with me.
I heard you quit,
but I guess you're back.
