Hae Il Meets Cheol Bum

ALL PLACES, INCIDENTS AND NAMES
IN THIS DRAMA ARE A WORK OF FICTION
Father Kim, you need to be healed.
Welcome back.
Stay out of trouble and behave yourself.
-Stop it.
-They're trash that isn't even recyclable.
Do you think people like that
would repent and follow God?
How dare you, in front of the cross!
Get angry when it's necessary.
I didn't lead you to become a priest
to fight against the world stubbornly.
Right now?
Father Lee missed morning Mass
and I can't get a hold of him.
FATHER LEE'S SUDDEN DEATH
It can't be suicide.
No!
It is assumed that Father Lee
of Gudam Cathedral committed suicide.
I'm officially requesting
for an investigation.
I also want an autopsy done.
Father Lee was secretly being investigated
for sexually assaulting a church member
and embezzling and misusing church funds.
The police stated that evidence
to back up this theory has been collected.
Father Lee was a respected priest
of the local community.
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
This must be my first time
seeing you smiling.
Detective Gu.
Detective Gu, are you all right?
Dae-yeong.
A swan?
Come on.
Dae-yeong.
Father, what are you doing here again?
What's wrong with him?
Who did this to him?
How could you
You're a priest! What did you do?
What about you lot?
Sexual assault and embezzlement?
Make it believable if you're going to lie.
You can't just make up such a lame lie.
What do you mean?
It's the exact result of an investigation
we've been secretly working on.
You don't know what Monsignor is, do you?
It's a title given to the holiest
and the most honorary member.
And Father Lee Yeong-jun received
the title directly from the pope.
How could you disgrace such a man?
Whatever the Monsignor is,
he should confess to his crimes
and be punished for them.
At least I would like to know
what benefit you get
from doing that to the old weak priest.
Is it because of money?
Or did someone promise you
a big promotion?
Preposterous! How could you?
-Detective Heo.
-Yes, sir.
Lock him up and request an arrest warrant.
-Yes, sir.
-For assaulting an officer
and spreading false information.
I haven't spread it yet.
For planning on spreading then.
And police defamation.
You have no reputation to ruin,
so that doesn't count!
You! Come here!
Do you know who I am?
-Who are you?
-I'm the police chief!
Chief, my ass!
Father!
Salute.
My nose is stuffy.
Doctor, my nose is stuffy.
Please give me some strong antibiotics.
My nose is stuffy, Doctor.
You!
-Calm down, sir.
-Pull them apart.
Get off of me!
You punk! Bring it on!
Put that bastard in the cell!
Who assaulted whom?
The detective in charge.
It's because he disagrees
with the investigation result.
Let me get this straight.
A detective was beaten up by a priest
and requested an arrest warrant
for the priest?
Yes.
They say the detective's nose
bled in the shape of a butterfly.
Those guys are jokes.
Tear down the whole ceiling
and install a new air filtration system.
I can't bear to see
our dear children inhale fine dust.
-Excuse me, sir.
-Yes, Sister.
Both I and the children
have no idea what is going on.
Father Lee and I made a deal
a long time ago.
We agreed that I take this orphanage
and other welfare organizations
when Father Lee passes away.
Well, I have never heard of it.
Of course you haven't. But it's true.
Father Lee kept everything transparent
when it comes to
management of the orphanage--
Hi, guys.
Let me make this place nicer for you.
I will buy you many toys
and school supplies.
Okay?
Maybe I look scary to them.
Ma'am, why don't you buy
some pizza for the children?
Not the lame ones,
but the ones with real beef on them.
What was the name?
Oh, right. "Combi station". Order that.
Take it.
-But--
-Take it.
Enjoy your pizza.
PHARMACY
What if he broke my nose?
It's the signature part of my face.
I let my guard down
because he was a priest.
If he was just a regular man,
I would've weaved
to the other side of his shoulder
and punched him
using the flick of my wrist.
I would have counterattacked.
Like Mayweather.
Let me ask you again.
The investigation on Father Lee
was done correctly, right?
Of course. We have been secretly
working on it for months.
There are some fishy things
about it, though.
We might need to reinvestigate.
Don't be so uptight.
Believe what your seniors say.
If, by any chance,
the investigation result was false,
I will quit the police force
whether it's a promising career or not.
Those who say they will quit
never leave the station.
LET US BE YOUR HANDS AND FEE
WITH HEARTWARMING KINDNESS
Are you Prosecutor Park Gyeong-seon?
Yes.
I'm the head of the violent crime squad,
Lee Myeong-su.
Trim your nose hair.
You deal with civil complaints
in that hygiene?
Noted, ma'am.
Where's the priest, the perpetrator?
-Detective Heo.
-Please follow me.
Look at you, Father.
What a dynamic priesthood you have.
What brings you here?
I'm here to send you to prison, Father.
You troubled yourself to come here
just to imprison me?
Of course. Not many prosecutors
get to put an actual priest in a prison.
It's a rare experience.
Thanks to you, I'm up for
something exciting too.
I highly doubt that it'll be exciting.
You apparently don't know
that even ten blankets can't keep you warm
in the penitentiary, Father.
I'll try and then tell you how it is.
Are you like this
because you're spiritually strong
or were you just born brave?
If I have to answer, I'd say both.
Open the gate.
Come on out. Let's have a chat.
SEOUL GUDAM POLICE STATION
You need a new toner cartridge.
It's too faint.
FRIENDLY SERVICE GUDAM POLICE
-What are you doing?
-You saw it.
I just saved you.
You save lost souls
and I save reckless outlaws.
Isn't that nice?
So
You want to shut me up with this?
You're very good at summarizing.
I'm actually being very nice to you now.
If you let me out,
I might make even a bigger mess.
Can you take it?
Whatever you say,
nothing is going to change.
Well, except one.
Your life. That will be a bit messed up.
Those are some mean things
to say to a priest.
Whatever I do, nothing is going to change,
so level with me.
Why Father Lee Yeong-jun?
I don't get the point of the question.
Why Father Lee Yeong-jun?
Because Father Lee Yeong-jun
committed crimes?
Until recently, he listened to your sins,
forgiven them, and embraced you with love.
Seriously, have you no heart at all?
I resent your tone.
I'm a prosecutor.
If he's a criminal, he's out.
You can go now.
I will get the autopsy done first.
Then everything will be over.
Just remember one thing.
If you ever cause trouble again
and show up before my eyes,
I won't let you off the hook
because you're a priest.
How could he just leave
when I wasn't done talking?
INVESTIGATION REPOR
FATHER LEE YEONG-JUN CASE
Your nose is as big as a fortune cookie.
You're a detective
of a violent crime squad.
How could you not protect yourself?
I had no idea a priest would attack--
This is a correct report
on Father Lee's case, right?
Yes, everything on the report is true.
-I want to hear from the one in charge.
-Yes, it's a correct report.
The church member
who were sexually assaulted and
the head of general affairs of the church
who can testify about the embezzlement.
-You have them, right?
-Yes? Yes.
Then all I need to do is
to trust the evidence and wrap it up.
If you agreed to go as the plan,
don't be such cowards!
You act like morons,
and I'll be the one to be fucked up.
This is not some kind of a joke!
I apologize, ma'am.
Why do you have to drive me mad
and ruin this?
Please, I beg you.
No more of this stupidity, okay?
-Especially you, Fortune Cookie.
-Yes, ma'am.
There's one thing to take care of first.
What do you mean?
Why can't we take the body?
The prosecution sent us an official note,
saying that there could be fabrication--
Who would fabricate
That's bullshit.
You're allowed to take the body
in the morning on the funeral day
under police surveillance.
In that case, you need to submit documents
to prove the location of the burial.
This is unfair!
I don't care.
We will take the priest's body.
Father, this is going to make
a bigger problem.
Father.
Do we really have to stand guard here?
The prosecutor ordered us to.
This is why we shouldn't
have set the priest free.
There was no good reason to keep him.
Of course there was a good reason.
He destroyed my nose
Oh, no.
Mortuary here. We have a Code Red.
Haven't you heard anything
from the reception?
I have, but I'm planning to not listen.
So step aside!
I really don't want to do this,
but if you keep acting like that,
I have to.
Why don't you turn it on
before you aim at me?
Oh, right.
Father, you're making this harder for us.
Is that any of my concern?
Hurry up!
Detective Bae,
what does Code Red mean?
Code
Don't you watch any American shows?
Take a guess.
A priest is trying
to run off with the body.
"Run off", you say?
That's it. Come here.
Father.
See? This is why I said, "Code Red".
It means red alert.
Everyone, be careful.
This priest beats people up.
Be especially careful of your nose.
Step aside, brothers.
You step aside, Father.
If you keep doing this,
things are going to get ugly.
Shall we see who gets it uglier, then?
Look at him clenching his fist.
Father, let's just go back for today.
Please listen to him, Father.
Go back for today.
I don't want to.
Don't come any closer,
or I will shoot you.
-I'll shoot you on the count of three.
-Go on.
Do you think you can
knock me down with that?
One.
Two.
Father!
They set him free?
Yes, sir.
The prosecutor came and set him free.
Why did they set the nutjob free?
Who is the prosecutor?
She's Mr. Kang's direct subordinate.
Mr. Kang's direct subordinate?
Then why
Hand it over.
Some chemistry we have, don't you think?
Yes, sir.
Why yes, sir.
I'll be there this evening.
Of course, sir.
Yes, sir. See you then. Bye.
Damn it.
Seriously.
I'm telling you, everyone's going crazy.
Father!
Father.
Are you okay, Father?
Gosh, it itches.
I'll shoot you on the count of three.
One.
Two.
He said he would shoot
on the count of three.
Didn't he shoot on two?
Let's go back to the church.
It's okay. You should rest a bit more.
I need to go somewhere.
What if you get tased again?
I'm not going to the mortuary.
ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF KOREA
I don't think
we can help you in any way for now.
It's too serious a matter.
Then are you saying
we keep Father Lee's body there?
We need to wait for the Archbishop
to make an official announcement
before we make any move.
Father, this is not
just a simple incident.
Evidence was fabricated. He was framed.
Father Kim.
If you claim his innocence
without any evidence,
you might get criticized
by the press and the public.
Please watch what you say.
I'm watching what I say.
Why won't you believe me?
I want you to check the facts first.
With Father Lee Yeong-jun gone,
don't you think checking the facts
is an ordeal by itself?
We decided to believe
the police announcement for now.
There's nothing more I can say.
-That's total nonsense!
-Please,
keep your voice down.
-Father, let's leave for now.
-Let go of me.
Let go of me!
Don't you know what he was like?
He has devoted and sacrificed himself
for his faith in God.
What you said is just nonsense!
How could you do this to him?
Let go of me!
I will reveal the truth! Let go of me!
Gosh.
They don't want the word
to spread further.
It's a sensitive issue.
Plus, he committed suicide,
which is the biggest sin--
Father Lee wouldn't commit
a sin like that and you know it.
Who are they?
I'm now in front of Gudam Cathedral.
As you can see, only the cold air
is surrounding the cathedral.
A cathedral staff just showed up.
-Over there.
-Hurry up.
Wait.
Shameless acts of crime
such as sexual assault and embezzlement
were committed in the Catholic church.
Weren't you aware of it at all, Fathers?
You can't speak so conclusively yet--
How was the embezzlement done,
and what was the money spent for?
Was it, by any chance,
used for an inappropriate relationship?
"An inappropriate relationship"?
Nonsense. Stop jumping to conclusions.
Would you like to say a word
to the sexually assaulted woman?
How will you apologize
to the betrayed church members?
Hey.
You didn't answer. Are you denying it?
Does the Catholic people intend to
whitewash the incident?
-Enough. You should go.
-Please say a few words.
-Go!
-Father, please say--
-Enough! Go away!
-Wait, Father.
-Go! All of you!
-A word.
-Stop shooting. Stop it!
-Please, Father!
The person I met today was not a priest.
It was the dark and ugly side
of the religious community.
I'm Reporter Oh Bo-yeong of UBS News.
His paused video
isn't any better than mine, is it?
He took away his own life
What kind of goofy face is this?
Could you add more sugar?
Is it bitter?
Well, it's not bitter, but
Okay. Two cubes?
-Three.
-Three?
My paused video
definitely looks better than that.
Not a priest.
It was the dark and ugly side
of the religious community.
This is just too unfair.
What does "the dark and ugly side
of the religious community" even mean?
You all heard about the orphanage, right?
Yes.
We were talking about it.
Then the news started,
so we were watching it.
Did Mr. Hwang really say that?
Yes, he said he and Father Lee
already made the deal.
What a load of bullshit.
Father.
I understand you're upset,
but please watch your language.
Did he say anything else?
He said he would do anything
that the children wanted.
He even sells bullshit for kids now.
Father, please. Language.
How else should I put it?
"He did such a noble deed"?
Sister.
Should we tell him?
About what Father Lee told us.
What is it?
As you know, Mr. Hwang's men
came to the church and made a scene.
And we told you
that they seemed to have come
to just mess with Father Lee
because they think he was a pushover.
And that wasn't the case?
Tell me.
Fine.
I promise I won't get mad. Tell me.
The thing is,
when Father Lee came
Oh, right. Never let Father Kim
and Mr. Hwang's men
get in a conflict.
Never.
And you must not tell him
that Mr. Hwang's men come here
to win the management entrustment
agreement of our welfare organization.
If Father Kim finds that out,
there will be a big problem.
Do you understand?
Why didn't you tell me?
We just told you why.
He made sure that we keep it secret.
Then you should have told me
this morning at least.
There was no time--
What do you mean by no time?
Mealtime, breaks, toilet breaks.
There was plenty of time!
Goodness.
Gosh, this is the biggest crisis
I have ever met as a nun.
My goodness.
I'm sorry to give you such a trivial task.
No way.
All the tasks you give me
are equally important.
In that case, thank you very much.
By the way,
why did you let the young priest go?
I thought if I pushed too hard
it might cause trouble
with the religious community.
I'm sure you knew what you were doing.
By the way, sir,
about the evidence
of Father Lee Yeong-jun's crime,
who designed it?
It doesn't seem to be the police.
There's someone in Gudam out of office.
Do you want to meet that person?
No, sir. I was just curious.
Wrap it up nicely and prove yourself.
The Prosecutor General really liked you.
Impress him a couple more times.
Then your life as a prosecutor
is going to be much easier.
-Yes, sir.
-Cheers.
Hello. How have you been?
This is Kim Hae-il.
I know you tried hard, I do.
but if you did well from the beginning,
this wouldn't have happened, would it?
I apologize, sir.
I will not make the same mistake again.
Still, you designed it nicely.
My subordinates spoke highly of it too.
Anytime, sir.
I'm confident in plotting.
So we can take over the orphanage
and the welfare organization now, right?
Yes, you can take them over right away.
Make sure not to make any more mistakes.
There won't be any more second chances.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
This wasn't part of the plan, though.
But with Father Lee gone,
I feel so much more comfortable.
Sometimes, accidents can be helpful.
Let's think God helped us.
Amen.
Now what? Do you want to bathe with us?
No, sir.
You can go now.
Yes, sir.
Please enjoy the sauna.
Well done. I know it's not easy
to deal with the old jerks.
Damn it.
You must be pretty pissed off.
I'm sorry I can't help you with it.
They're only living off the rice grains
on my spoon.
Who do they think they are to forgive me?
Fucking bastards.
Dong-ja, I swear.
When the right time comes,
I will cut their throats.
You can do whatever you like then.
Until then,
we don't have options.
Dong-ja.
Give me an award from the district.
Whether a good citizen award
or a good deed award.
What for?
To manage welfare organizations,
I need some sort of title.
Okay.
Let me make you a fancy one.
Let's have a big fancy award ceremony too.
Okay?
Long time no see.
We haven't met
since the Uyrkistan Operation, right?
How have you been?
It's always the same.
I struggle with dead bodies every day.
I heard you quit,
but I guess you're back.
What are you disguised as a pastor for?
I'm not under cover.
I'm Priest Michael now.
That's a fun new joke.
Kim Hae-il is a priest?
It's true. My baptismal name is Michael.
Are you going to go undercover
as a Buddhist monk next year?
Then you'll have to shave your head.
I said it's true!
How can you not believe
what a priest says?
Are you really a priest?
Agent Kim Hae-il
who killed 11 terrorists with a sword
has become a pastor?
I'm not a pastor. I'm a priest.
I will tell you the details later.
You have to go somewhere with me.
Of course I'll come for a drink.
We're not drinking.
You got hand tremors from that, remember?
Why have you become a pastor, of all?
I said I'm not a pastor. I'm a priest.
What's the difference?
They're different!
Gosh.
CHAPEL OF REST, OBSERVATION ROOM
That person must have injured badly.
He fell from a motorcycle
and a truck ran over his face.
The dent on the back of his head
indicates that this is blunt trauma.
We have to open the body to know for sure,
there's a high chance that the cause of
his death is subdural hemorrhage.
There are multiple fractures
all over his body,
which is obviously
because he fell from a cliff.
But this is the key.
If you look at the back of his neck,
you can see small scars.
-They're gathered here.
-Yes.
Look. When you look closely,
you'll see they're shaped like
small, regular straight lines.
This happens when one is punctured
by small glass shards.
And also, the bruise on his arm
might have been made
by someone holding his arm tightly
right before his death,
but it could just be
a regular senile purpura.
What do you think it is?
The former has a slightly higher chance.
A bruise caused by a grasp.
This should be enough
to get a warrant, right?
Usually, this should be more than enough.
But if they're the kind of people to
set guards near the body for their plot,
it doesn't seem
like a small-scale business.
What's taking him so long?
Who?
The staff who moves the body.
It's been 10 minutes
and he hasn't come out yet.
Ten minutes?
What took you so long?
Well
I was praying for the deceased.
Do the staff do that?
Yes, praying is my hobby.
Why are you taking this body out again?
This is a different body.
It needs to be sent to the rural area.
Well, then.
CHAPEL OF REST, OBSERVATION ROOM
Why is a dead body wearing shoes?
I'm going to the convenience store.
Do you need anything?
I'll go, sir.
I want to get some fresh air too.
What do you need?
One hot bar and one cola please.
Right. Hot dog it is.
Dae-yeong, I said 1 hot bar and 1 cola.
Gosh, I knew something was off.
He is one persistent man.
What do I do?
I know. I will report it.
You're not going to use the taser gun,
are you?
I won't. I have only one cartridge.
If you want to talk to yourself,
at least be quiet.
I could hear you from down there.
Father, you've just made a big mistake.
Who is the man you came with?
An autopsy expert from the NFS.
NFS?
Then there was an illegal autopsy?
It wasn't an autopsy.
It was an external examination.
That's not allowed either.
Then report it and go to hell.
I'm a priest after all.
I could condemn you, at least.
You don't know what hell is like, do you?
Fire and brimstone?
Limb-cutting stools?
That's not hell.
It's to be born again
exactly as you are now.
And to live the exact same life.
Repeatedly.
You know I don't say things for no reason.
I have to go now.
Think about it.
Gosh, why the exact same life?
That sounds horrible.
I'm sure he made that up.
That's like the worst hell possible!
No way.
Your nose looks pretty swollen.
Leave.
Okay.
-Hey, part-timer.
-Yes, Detective.
You go to a Catholic church, right?
Yes, my given name is Yo-han
and my baptismal name is John.
I don't care.
Do you know what hell is like?
Hell is not about fire and brimstone
or limb-cutting stools.
It is to live the exact same life
repeatedly and endlessly.
Damn it.
I can give you a simpler explanation.
It's like being stuck in an endless loop
of a very painful life--
I get it! Go now!
Go!
I tried my best
to make it easy to understand.
-Go!
-I'm going.
-Go!
-Why are you yelling?
Go!
I heard there are children.
There are no children!
I already checked, you idiot!
Do you want to die? Throw it right now!
Throw the grenade, you idiot!
INFORMATION IS NATIONAL POWER
All the records of Agent Kim Hae-il of NIS
will be deleted.
You will be a regular young man.
This is all I can do to help you.
Please take a seat.
Are you here to pray?
No.
I came because I miss Father Lee.
Was Father Lee nice to you?
To me,
he was like an angel.
I came to this neighborhood
with only five thousand won.
I didn't have food or a place to stay.
But Father Lee gave me food
and let me stay here.
He also got me emproyed
Emproyed?
Employed.
Right. He got me employed
at the Chinese restaurant.
I see. Where are you from?
I'm from Thailand.
Why did you come here?
I need to make a lot of money.
My mother and siblings are in Thailand.
I have eight siblings.
I see.
What's your name?
Songsak Tekaratanapeuraseoteu.
Songsak Terakara
Songsak
Songsak
Do you have friends in the neighborhood?
Yes. Oh Yo-han.
He ate mocha bread during the Mass.
Gosh.
-All right. Take your time.
-Okay.
And let me know if the bullies
in the neighborhood bother you.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
Please punish the liars.
And please punish
the person who did
the bad thing to Father Lee.
I will.
There are others
that change the world by getting angry.
We are to change the world in our way.
Who is calling so early?
Prosecutor Park speaking.
Who?
This is annoying.
I didn't want to get up this early.
Why is he standing like that,
Looking all handsome?
What's the urgent thing you had to say?
I'll give you one last chance
to fix everything before sunrise.
Before the sunrise?
Is this The Wailing or what?
You're very creative at pestering others.
I admire you.
"Truth is sprung out of the earth
and justice hath looked down from heaven."
Psalm 85:11.
I want you to be faithful
and reinvestigate Father Lee's case
for righteousness and peace.
God knows everything.
What?
What are you saying?
The truth is not far away. It's around us.
I'm concerned about you,
a promising sister's future
so I give you a chance
to reveal the truth.
Don't worry about me, Father.
And the cringy emotional approach
won't work on me.
I'm not trying to be sly or anything.
As a follower of God--
Fine!
This is not important at all!
You came all the way here
at this time for that?
When will you head back?
I'm really sleepy.
-I was going to leave.
-Then bye.
Why am I awake?
I have three trials today. Gosh!
A man should stick to his way of living.
This is so not my way.
Again, I'm the first to come to work
Nobody is here
Seo Seung-a is diligent
Who is it?
This is Father Kim Hae-il.
Since you helped me once,
please help me once again.
Why are there mosquitoes in winter?
I got you now.
Sir.
Don't do this, Father.
Let me ask you one question.
Is it true that Father Lee embezzled
the church funds?
The police revealed it.
Please look into my eyes and tell me.
Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
But it doesn't make sense.
Father Lee owns nothing
but just a pair of shoes.
I don't know about that.
I just said what I knew.
Then
tell me how Father Lee embezzled
the church funds
and for what purpose he used the money.
Well
He asked me
to spare him some every weekend.
And I don't know
where he used all the money.
Are you going to keep stuttering?
If you're going to lie,
at least do it naturally.
Who is it?
Who asked you to testify such nonsense?
No one asked. I did as my conscience said.
"Conscience"?
Did you just say "conscience"?
Why on earth are you doing this?
How much did you receive?
I said I just did as my conscience said.
What do you mean by receive?
I'm also a Catholic.
If you come again,
I'll report to the police.
Don't come back, I mean it.

INVESTIGATION RECORDS
The priest is quiet today. It's unusual.
You didn't hear anything, did you?
No, I didn't, sir.
If something happens to him
or you hear something about him,
tell me right away.
Yes, of course.
All right, then.
Shall we go have jjajangmyeon?
-Pardon, sir?
-Jjajangmyeon.
Yes, sir.
Where do you work again?
In the investigation team
of the Archdiocese.
We investigate
crimes and corruption of churches.
That sounds tough.
I'm sure you're alarmed and flustered.
Of course.
Who would feel good about the situation?
I understand it's tough,
but could you explain
what happened that day again?
He held my hands,
saying he'd like to pray with me.
And while I was praying,
he suddenly touched my thigh.
That was so creepy.
I ran out of the place straight away.
The main hall.
I saw it happened
in the prayer room in the main hall.
There's a big window, where people can
see everything through from outside.
Of course the curtains were closed.
He wouldn't have done it with them open.
A window in the prayer room, you say?
Okay, that's that.
Although Father Lee Yeong-jun was old,
he was over 90kg,
so it must have been hard for you
to push him away.
Well
In emergencies,
you can be incredibly strong.
Father Lee Yeong-jun, over 90kg?
This woman has never even met him.
Thank you for the interview.
So he met both of them?
Yes, sir.
Well, I'll be damned.
That priest just jumped over the line.
If we don't do anything about him,
he will probably keep visiting them.
Hey, Gojayev.
Stop eating and listen to me.
You have something to do.
He held my hands,
saying he'd like to pray with me.
And while I was praying,
he suddenly touched my thigh.
That was so creepy.
I ran out of the place straight away.
So what?
You know this is a total lie.
Father Lee Yeong-jun weighs over 90kg?
Many people fail to guess
others' weights by eye.
She said there was a window in the room
where there wasn't. What about that?
She was shocked,
so she could have been confused.
That's nonsense.
This woman doesn't even know Father Lee.
You're really persistent.
Then please interrogate the church's
head of general affairs again.
Isn't it strange
that he quit now, of all time?
Whether he quit or not is up to him.
Father, you're one creative man.
"Creative man"?
I have hard evidence here.
Father, this
doesn't have any value. Do you know that?
To be blunt, this could be
a fabricated testimony made by a threat.
Do you think a priest would do that?
Assaulting a police officer
and attempted corpse theft.
Just these two are enough to make me
have zero trust in you.
Who would trust you?
Look, Prosecutor Park.
Goodness.
You're not calling me "old lady"
but "prosecutor".
You must be pretty upset now.
If this is now evidence,
what else is evidence?
Father.
This won't make
what doesn't exist the truth.
I told you before.
Nothing is going to change.
Could you please understand at once?
The game isn't over yet.
So hurry and investigate
the fake witnesses.
Ma'am, you should watch the TV.
Why? What happened?
We feel deeply sorry
about the disgraceful incident.
We will retrain the priests
so the same incident won't happen again.
We will reflect on ourselves
It looks like you ended the game
from your side.
We will make sure to confirm
whether or not priests' sexual assaults
happened for real
PROSECUTOR PARK GYEONG-SEON
How
How is this fair?
They didn't even clarify the testimonies.
I will collect signatures in the diocese.
For the reinvestigation.
Please say something.
Or yell, Father!
Let's bury Father Lee first.
And then?
Father.
And we can't have
a funeral Mass for Father Lee.
We can't bury him
in the Catholic Priests' Cemetery either.
But why?
After all he's done?
That's what the diocese said.
Poor Father Lee.
Why is this happening to such a saint?
Why?
Oh, dear God.
Let's find a place to lay him first.
GUDAM FUNERAL HALL
And in the Holy Spirit.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Brothers and sisters,
let's pray to God, our Father,
for Lee Yeong-jun, Gabriel.
-Lord, have mercy.
-Lord, have mercy.
Have mercy, Lord.
You are bestowed this award
for your outstanding sense of mission
and great contribution to Gudam District.
Director of Gudam District, Jeong Dong-ja.
PRIEST LEE YEONG-JUN, GABRIEL
Are you
feeling better now?
May I share
your pain, young man?
That's my hobby.
I'm sorry it took so long.
I tried my best,
but I'm not that good of a cook.
I hope they taste good to you.
Now, eat up.
Eat up.
MONSIGNOR GABRIEL LEE YEONG-JUN
Please watch over us next to God
and lead us, Father.
Wait there, Father.
I will take you to where you belong to.
I will.
Do we have to be around him
on a day like today?
We were told to keep an eye on him
until he leaves the grave.
We should rather be
praying for the deceased.
A wedding center in Gudam District
had an opening ceremony last month.
For low-income couples
The funeral is over.
Now let's go to the award ceremony.
-It's receiving good responses.
-Why?
We can eat food and celebrate him there.
Gudam Group's entrepreneur
Did your boss tell you to go? Are we--
It takes place in a hotel,
so it must be a buffet.
The winner of Best Entrepreneur Award
-is the CEO of Daebeom Trading,
-Let's go.
Hwang Cheol-beom.
The CEO of Daebeom Trading,
Hwang Cheol-beom,
is known for an entrepreneur
who has been greatly contributing
-Stop the car over there.
-to Gudam District.
-Pardon?
-He received credit
-Over there.
-for the contribution
and was chosen
as the winner of this award.
Where are you going?
Go ahead. I need to stop by somewhere.
You're not going to do something secretly,
are you?
No. I'll be right back.
HONORABLE ENTREPRENEUR

HONORABLE ENTREPRENEURS
OF GUDAM-GU AWARDS CEREMONY
-You see, I do a little palm-reading.
-Oh, really, now?
This guy, really
What brings you here?
-To congratulate your boss--
-We don't need it. Get lost.
You're one annoying religious man.
-Brother.
-Why?
If you hit a priest, you'll go to hell.
Is that so? Shall I go to hell then?
How do you want to get beat up, Father?
Hapkido? Tae kwon do?
Karate?
Karate looks cool, maybe that.
Have you ever heard
of capoeira?
You're not supposed to attack
while I get ready.
Now be amazed
at my elegant moves.
What was that?
I can feel
the strong energy of Satan.
Listen, all ye devils.
You killed Father Lee Yeong-jun
and threw him off a cliff.
Anyway, if you want to mess with me,
you'd better be prepared.
Our church won't turn into
a historical site at this rate, will it?
I told you not to come here, old lady.
If you want spiritual healing,
go to a spa or have a good meal.
You probably all have heard from the news
about how a Catholic priest
committed those shameless crimes.
What?
You want me to cooperate with the priest?
Subtitle translation by Sun-young Baek
ALL PLACES, INCIDENTS AND NAMES
IN THIS DRAMA ARE A WORK OF FICTION
Father Kim, you need to be healed.
Welcome back.
Stay out of trouble and behave yourself.
-Stop it.
-They're trash that isn't even recyclable.
Do you think people like that
would repent and follow God?
How dare you, in front of the cross!
Get angry when it's necessary.
I didn't lead you to become a priest
to fight against the world stubbornly.
Right now?
Father Lee missed morning Mass
and I can't get a hold of him.
FATHER LEE'S SUDDEN DEATH
It can't be suicide.
No!
It is assumed that Father Lee
of Gudam Cathedral committed suicide.
I'm officially requesting
for an investigation.
I also want an autopsy done.
Father Lee was secretly being investigated
for sexually assaulting a church member
and embezzling and misusing church funds.
The police stated that evidence
to back up this theory has been collected.
Father Lee was a respected priest
of the local community.
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
This must be my first time
seeing you smiling.
Detective Gu.
Detective Gu, are you all right?
Dae-yeong.
A swan?
Come on.
Dae-yeong.
Father, what are you doing here again?
What's wrong with him?
Who did this to him?
How could you
You're a priest! What did you do?
What about you lot?
Sexual assault and embezzlement?
Make it believable if you're going to lie.
You can't just make up such a lame lie.
What do you mean?
It's the exact result of an investigation
we've been secretly working on.
You don't know what Monsignor is, do you?
It's a title given to the holiest
and the most honorary member.
And Father Lee Yeong-jun received
the title directly from the pope.
How could you disgrace such a man?
Whatever the Monsignor is,
he should confess to his crimes
and be punished for them.
At least I would like to know
what benefit you get
from doing that to the old weak priest.
Is it because of money?
Or did someone promise you
a big promotion?
Preposterous! How could you?
-Detective Heo.
-Yes, sir.
Lock him up and request an arrest warrant.
-Yes, sir.
-For assaulting an officer
and spreading false information.
I haven't spread it yet.
For planning on spreading then.
And police defamation.
You have no reputation to ruin,
so that doesn't count!
You! Come here!
Do you know who I am?
-Who are you?
-I'm the police chief!
Chief, my ass!
Father!
Salute.
My nose is stuffy.
Doctor, my nose is stuffy.
Please give me some strong antibiotics.
My nose is stuffy, Doctor.
You!
-Calm down, sir.
-Pull them apart.
Get off of me!
You punk! Bring it on!
Put that bastard in the cell!
Who assaulted whom?
The detective in charge.
It's because he disagrees
with the investigation result.
Let me get this straight.
A detective was beaten up by a priest
and requested an arrest warrant
for the priest?
Yes.
They say the detective's nose
bled in the shape of a butterfly.
Those guys are jokes.
Tear down the whole ceiling
and install a new air filtration system.
I can't bear to see
our dear children inhale fine dust.
-Excuse me, sir.
-Yes, Sister.
Both I and the children
have no idea what is going on.
Father Lee and I made a deal
a long time ago.
We agreed that I take this orphanage
and other welfare organizations
when Father Lee passes away.
Well, I have never heard of it.
Of course you haven't. But it's true.
Father Lee kept everything transparent
when it comes to
management of the orphanage--
Hi, guys.
Let me make this place nicer for you.
I will buy you many toys
and school supplies.
Okay?
Maybe I look scary to them.
Ma'am, why don't you buy
some pizza for the children?
Not the lame ones,
but the ones with real beef on them.
What was the name?
Oh, right. "Combi station". Order that.
Take it.
-But--
-Take it.
Enjoy your pizza.
PHARMACY
What if he broke my nose?
It's the signature part of my face.
I let my guard down
because he was a priest.
If he was just a regular man,
I would've weaved
to the other side of his shoulder
and punched him
using the flick of my wrist.
I would have counterattacked.
Like Mayweather.
Let me ask you again.
The investigation on Father Lee
was done correctly, right?
Of course. We have been secretly
working on it for months.
There are some fishy things
about it, though.
We might need to reinvestigate.
Don't be so uptight.
Believe what your seniors say.
If, by any chance,
the investigation result was false,
I will quit the police force
whether it's a promising career or not.
Those who say they will quit
never leave the station.
LET US BE YOUR HANDS AND FEE
WITH HEARTWARMING KINDNESS
Are you Prosecutor Park Gyeong-seon?
Yes.
I'm the head of the violent crime squad,
Lee Myeong-su.
Trim your nose hair.
You deal with civil complaints
in that hygiene?
Noted, ma'am.
Where's the priest, the perpetrator?
-Detective Heo.
-Please follow me.
Look at you, Father.
What a dynamic priesthood you have.
What brings you here?
I'm here to send you to prison, Father.
You troubled yourself to come here
just to imprison me?
Of course. Not many prosecutors
get to put an actual priest in a prison.
It's a rare experience.
Thanks to you, I'm up for
something exciting too.
I highly doubt that it'll be exciting.
You apparently don't know
that even ten blankets can't keep you warm
in the penitentiary, Father.
I'll try and then tell you how it is.
Are you like this
because you're spiritually strong
or were you just born brave?
If I have to answer, I'd say both.
Open the gate.
Come on out. Let's have a chat.
SEOUL GUDAM POLICE STATION
You need a new toner cartridge.
It's too faint.
FRIENDLY SERVICE GUDAM POLICE
-What are you doing?
-You saw it.
I just saved you.
You save lost souls
and I save reckless outlaws.
Isn't that nice?
So
You want to shut me up with this?
You're very good at summarizing.
I'm actually being very nice to you now.
If you let me out,
I might make even a bigger mess.
Can you take it?
Whatever you say,
nothing is going to change.
Well, except one.
Your life. That will be a bit messed up.
Those are some mean things
to say to a priest.
Whatever I do, nothing is going to change,
so level with me.
Why Father Lee Yeong-jun?
I don't get the point of the question.
Why Father Lee Yeong-jun?
Because Father Lee Yeong-jun
committed crimes?
Until recently, he listened to your sins,
forgiven them, and embraced you with love.
Seriously, have you no heart at all?
I resent your tone.
I'm a prosecutor.
If he's a criminal, he's out.
You can go now.
I will get the autopsy done first.
Then everything will be over.
Just remember one thing.
If you ever cause trouble again
and show up before my eyes,
I won't let you off the hook
because you're a priest.
How could he just leave
when I wasn't done talking?
INVESTIGATION REPOR
FATHER LEE YEONG-JUN CASE
Your nose is as big as a fortune cookie.
You're a detective
of a violent crime squad.
How could you not protect yourself?
I had no idea a priest would attack--
This is a correct report
on Father Lee's case, right?
Yes, everything on the report is true.
-I want to hear from the one in charge.
-Yes, it's a correct report.
The church member
who were sexually assaulted and
the head of general affairs of the church
who can testify about the embezzlement.
-You have them, right?
-Yes? Yes.
Then all I need to do is
to trust the evidence and wrap it up.
If you agreed to go as the plan,
don't be such cowards!
You act like morons,
and I'll be the one to be fucked up.
This is not some kind of a joke!
I apologize, ma'am.
Why do you have to drive me mad
and ruin this?
Please, I beg you.
No more of this stupidity, okay?
-Especially you, Fortune Cookie.
-Yes, ma'am.
There's one thing to take care of first.
What do you mean?
Why can't we take the body?
The prosecution sent us an official note,
saying that there could be fabrication--
Who would fabricate
That's bullshit.
You're allowed to take the body
in the morning on the funeral day
under police surveillance.
In that case, you need to submit documents
to prove the location of the burial.
This is unfair!
I don't care.
We will take the priest's body.
Father, this is going to make
a bigger problem.
Father.
Do we really have to stand guard here?
The prosecutor ordered us to.
This is why we shouldn't
have set the priest free.
There was no good reason to keep him.
Of course there was a good reason.
He destroyed my nose
Oh, no.
Mortuary here. We have a Code Red.
Haven't you heard anything
from the reception?
I have, but I'm planning to not listen.
So step aside!
I really don't want to do this,
but if you keep acting like that,
I have to.
Why don't you turn it on
before you aim at me?
Oh, right.
Father, you're making this harder for us.
Is that any of my concern?
Hurry up!
Detective Bae,
what does Code Red mean?
Code
Don't you watch any American shows?
Take a guess.
A priest is trying
to run off with the body.
"Run off", you say?
That's it. Come here.
Father.
See? This is why I said, "Code Red".
It means red alert.
Everyone, be careful.
This priest beats people up.
Be especially careful of your nose.
Step aside, brothers.
You step aside, Father.
If you keep doing this,
things are going to get ugly.
Shall we see who gets it uglier, then?
Look at him clenching his fist.
Father, let's just go back for today.
Please listen to him, Father.
Go back for today.
I don't want to.
Don't come any closer,
or I will shoot you.
-I'll shoot you on the count of three.
-Go on.
Do you think you can
knock me down with that?
One.
Two.
Father!
They set him free?
Yes, sir.
The prosecutor came and set him free.
Why did they set the nutjob free?
Who is the prosecutor?
She's Mr. Kang's direct subordinate.
Mr. Kang's direct subordinate?
Then why
Hand it over.
Some chemistry we have, don't you think?
Yes, sir.
Why yes, sir.
I'll be there this evening.
Of course, sir.
Yes, sir. See you then. Bye.
Damn it.
Seriously.
I'm telling you, everyone's going crazy.
Father!
Father.
Are you okay, Father?
Gosh, it itches.
I'll shoot you on the count of three.
One.
Two.
He said he would shoot
on the count of three.
Didn't he shoot on two?
Let's go back to the church.
It's okay. You should rest a bit more.
I need to go somewhere.
What if you get tased again?
I'm not going to the mortuary.
ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF KOREA
I don't think
we can help you in any way for now.
It's too serious a matter.
Then are you saying
we keep Father Lee's body there?
We need to wait for the Archbishop
to make an official announcement
before we make any move.
Father, this is not
just a simple incident.
Evidence was fabricated. He was framed.
Father Kim.
If you claim his innocence
without any evidence,
you might get criticized
by the press and the public.
Please watch what you say.
I'm watching what I say.
Why won't you believe me?
I want you to check the facts first.
With Father Lee Yeong-jun gone,
don't you think checking the facts
is an ordeal by itself?
We decided to believe
the police announcement for now.
There's nothing more I can say.
-That's total nonsense!
-Please,
keep your voice down.
-Father, let's leave for now.
-Let go of me.
Let go of me!
Don't you know what he was like?
He has devoted and sacrificed himself
for his faith in God.
What you said is just nonsense!
How could you do this to him?
Let go of me!
I will reveal the truth! Let go of me!
Gosh.
They don't want the word
to spread further.
It's a sensitive issue.
Plus, he committed suicide,
which is the biggest sin--
Father Lee wouldn't commit
a sin like that and you know it.
Who are they?
I'm now in front of Gudam Cathedral.
As you can see, only the cold air
is surrounding the cathedral.
A cathedral staff just showed up.
-Over there.
-Hurry up.
Wait.
Shameless acts of crime
such as sexual assault and embezzlement
were committed in the Catholic church.
Weren't you aware of it at all, Fathers?
You can't speak so conclusively yet--
How was the embezzlement done,
and what was the money spent for?
Was it, by any chance,
used for an inappropriate relationship?
"An inappropriate relationship"?
Nonsense. Stop jumping to conclusions.
Would you like to say a word
to the sexually assaulted woman?
How will you apologize
to the betrayed church members?
Hey.
You didn't answer. Are you denying it?
Does the Catholic people intend to
whitewash the incident?
-Enough. You should go.
-Please say a few words.
-Go!
-Father, please say--
-Enough! Go away!
-Wait, Father.
-Go! All of you!
-A word.
-Stop shooting. Stop it!
-Please, Father!
The person I met today was not a priest.
It was the dark and ugly side
of the religious community.
I'm Reporter Oh Bo-yeong of UBS News.
His paused video
isn't any better than mine, is it?
He took away his own life
What kind of goofy face is this?
Could you add more sugar?
Is it bitter?
Well, it's not bitter, but
Okay. Two cubes?
-Three.
-Three?
My paused video
definitely looks better than that.
Not a priest.
It was the dark and ugly side
of the religious community.
This is just too unfair.
What does "the dark and ugly side
of the religious community" even mean?
You all heard about the orphanage, right?
Yes.
We were talking about it.
Then the news started,
so we were watching it.
Did Mr. Hwang really say that?
Yes, he said he and Father Lee
already made the deal.
What a load of bullshit.
Father.
I understand you're upset,
but please watch your language.
Did he say anything else?
He said he would do anything
that the children wanted.
He even sells bullshit for kids now.
Father, please. Language.
How else should I put it?
"He did such a noble deed"?
Sister.
Should we tell him?
About what Father Lee told us.
What is it?
As you know, Mr. Hwang's men
came to the church and made a scene.
And we told you
that they seemed to have come
to just mess with Father Lee
because they think he was a pushover.
And that wasn't the case?
Tell me.
Fine.
I promise I won't get mad. Tell me.
The thing is,
when Father Lee came
Oh, right. Never let Father Kim
and Mr. Hwang's men
get in a conflict.
Never.
And you must not tell him
that Mr. Hwang's men come here
to win the management entrustment
agreement of our welfare organization.
If Father Kim finds that out,
there will be a big problem.
Do you understand?
Why didn't you tell me?
We just told you why.
He made sure that we keep it secret.
Then you should have told me
this morning at least.
There was no time--
What do you mean by no time?
Mealtime, breaks, toilet breaks.
There was plenty of time!
Goodness.
Gosh, this is the biggest crisis
I have ever met as a nun.
My goodness.
I'm sorry to give you such a trivial task.
No way.
All the tasks you give me
are equally important.
In that case, thank you very much.
By the way,
why did you let the young priest go?
I thought if I pushed too hard
it might cause trouble
with the religious community.
I'm sure you knew what you were doing.
By the way, sir,
about the evidence
of Father Lee Yeong-jun's crime,
who designed it?
It doesn't seem to be the police.
There's someone in Gudam out of office.
Do you want to meet that person?
No, sir. I was just curious.
Wrap it up nicely and prove yourself.
The Prosecutor General really liked you.
Impress him a couple more times.
Then your life as a prosecutor
is going to be much easier.
-Yes, sir.
-Cheers.
Hello. How have you been?
This is Kim Hae-il.
I know you tried hard, I do.
but if you did well from the beginning,
this wouldn't have happened, would it?
I apologize, sir.
I will not make the same mistake again.
Still, you designed it nicely.
My subordinates spoke highly of it too.
Anytime, sir.
I'm confident in plotting.
So we can take over the orphanage
and the welfare organization now, right?
Yes, you can take them over right away.
Make sure not to make any more mistakes.
There won't be any more second chances.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
This wasn't part of the plan, though.
But with Father Lee gone,
I feel so much more comfortable.
Sometimes, accidents can be helpful.
Let's think God helped us.
Amen.
Now what? Do you want to bathe with us?
No, sir.
You can go now.
Yes, sir.
Please enjoy the sauna.
Well done. I know it's not easy
to deal with the old jerks.
Damn it.
You must be pretty pissed off.
I'm sorry I can't help you with it.
They're only living off the rice grains
on my spoon.
Who do they think they are to forgive me?
Fucking bastards.
Dong-ja, I swear.
When the right time comes,
I will cut their throats.
You can do whatever you like then.
Until then,
we don't have options.
Dong-ja.
Give me an award from the district.
Whether a good citizen award
or a good deed award.
What for?
To manage welfare organizations,
I need some sort of title.
Okay.
Let me make you a fancy one.
Let's have a big fancy award ceremony too.
Okay?
Long time no see.
We haven't met
since the Uyrkistan Operation, right?
How have you been?
It's always the same.
I struggle with dead bodies every day.
I heard you quit,
but I guess you're back.
What are you disguised as a pastor for?
I'm not under cover.
I'm Priest Michael now.
That's a fun new joke.
Kim Hae-il is a priest?
It's true. My baptismal name is Michael.
Are you going to go undercover
as a Buddhist monk next year?
Then you'll have to shave your head.
I said it's true!
How can you not believe
what a priest says?
Are you really a priest?
Agent Kim Hae-il
who killed 11 terrorists with a sword
has become a pastor?
I'm not a pastor. I'm a priest.
I will tell you the details later.
You have to go somewhere with me.
Of course I'll come for a drink.
We're not drinking.
You got hand tremors from that, remember?
Why have you become a pastor, of all?
I said I'm not a pastor. I'm a priest.
What's the difference?
They're different!
Gosh.
CHAPEL OF REST, OBSERVATION ROOM
That person must have injured badly.
He fell from a motorcycle
and a truck ran over his face.
The dent on the back of his head
indicates that this is blunt trauma.
We have to open the body to know for sure,
there's a high chance that the cause of
his death is subdural hemorrhage.
There are multiple fractures
all over his body,
which is obviously
because he fell from a cliff.
But this is the key.
If you look at the back of his neck,
you can see small scars.
-They're gathered here.
-Yes.
Look. When you look closely,
you'll see they're shaped like
small, regular straight lines.
This happens when one is punctured
by small glass shards.
And also, the bruise on his arm
might have been made
by someone holding his arm tightly
right before his death,
but it could just be
a regular senile purpura.
What do you think it is?
The former has a slightly higher chance.
A bruise caused by a grasp.
This should be enough
to get a warrant, right?
Usually, this should be more than enough.
But if they're the kind of people to
set guards near the body for their plot,
it doesn't seem
like a small-scale business.
What's taking him so long?
Who?
The staff who moves the body.
It's been 10 minutes
and he hasn't come out yet.
Ten minutes?
What took you so long?
Well
I was praying for the deceased.
Do the staff do that?
Yes, praying is my hobby.
Why are you taking this body out again?
This is a different body.
It needs to be sent to the rural area.
Well, then.
CHAPEL OF REST, OBSERVATION ROOM
Why is a dead body wearing shoes?
I'm going to the convenience store.
Do you need anything?
I'll go, sir.
I want to get some fresh air too.
What do you need?
One hot bar and one cola please.
Right. Hot dog it is.
Dae-yeong, I said 1 hot bar and 1 cola.
Gosh, I knew something was off.
He is one persistent man.
What do I do?
I know. I will report it.
You're not going to use the taser gun,
are you?
I won't. I have only one cartridge.
If you want to talk to yourself,
at least be quiet.
I could hear you from down there.
Father, you've just made a big mistake.
Who is the man you came with?
An autopsy expert from the NFS.
NFS?
Then there was an illegal autopsy?
It wasn't an autopsy.
It was an external examination.
That's not allowed either.
Then report it and go to hell.
I'm a priest after all.
I could condemn you, at least.
You don't know what hell is like, do you?
Fire and brimstone?
Limb-cutting stools?
That's not hell.
It's to be born again
exactly as you are now.
And to live the exact same life.
Repeatedly.
You know I don't say things for no reason.
I have to go now.
Think about it.
Gosh, why the exact same life?
That sounds horrible.
I'm sure he made that up.
That's like the worst hell possible!
No way.
Your nose looks pretty swollen.
Leave.
Okay.
-Hey, part-timer.
-Yes, Detective.
You go to a Catholic church, right?
Yes, my given name is Yo-han
and my baptismal name is John.
I don't care.
Do you know what hell is like?
Hell is not about fire and brimstone
or limb-cutting stools.
It is to live the exact same life
repeatedly and endlessly.
Damn it.
I can give you a simpler explanation.
It's like being stuck in an endless loop
of a very painful life--
I get it! Go now!
Go!
I tried my best
to make it easy to understand.
-Go!
-I'm going.
-Go!
-Why are you yelling?
Go!
I heard there are children.
There are no children!
I already checked, you idiot!
Do you want to die? Throw it right now!
Throw the grenade, you idiot!
INFORMATION IS NATIONAL POWER
All the records of Agent Kim Hae-il of NIS
will be deleted.
You will be a regular young man.
This is all I can do to help you.
Please take a seat.
Are you here to pray?
No.
I came because I miss Father Lee.
Was Father Lee nice to you?
To me,
he was like an angel.
I came to this neighborhood
with only five thousand won.
I didn't have food or a place to stay.
But Father Lee gave me food
and let me stay here.
He also got me emproyed
Emproyed?
Employed.
Right. He got me employed
at the Chinese restaurant.
I see. Where are you from?
I'm from Thailand.
Why did you come here?
I need to make a lot of money.
My mother and siblings are in Thailand.
I have eight siblings.
I see.
What's your name?
Songsak Tekaratanapeuraseoteu.
Songsak Terakara
Songsak
Songsak
Do you have friends in the neighborhood?
Yes. Oh Yo-han.
He ate mocha bread during the Mass.
Gosh.
-All right. Take your time.
-Okay.
And let me know if the bullies
in the neighborhood bother you.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
Please punish the liars.
And please punish
the person who did
the bad thing to Father Lee.
I will.
There are others
that change the world by getting angry.
We are to change the world in our way.
Who is calling so early?
Prosecutor Park speaking.
Who?
This is annoying.
I didn't want to get up this early.
Why is he standing like that,
Looking all handsome?
What's the urgent thing you had to say?
I'll give you one last chance
to fix everything before sunrise.
Before the sunrise?
Is this The Wailing or what?
You're very creative at pestering others.
I admire you.
"Truth is sprung out of the earth
and justice hath looked down from heaven."
Psalm 85:11.
I want you to be faithful
and reinvestigate Father Lee's case
for righteousness and peace.
God knows everything.
What?
What are you saying?
The truth is not far away. It's around us.
I'm concerned about you,
a promising sister's future
so I give you a chance
to reveal the truth.
Don't worry about me, Father.
And the cringy emotional approach
won't work on me.
I'm not trying to be sly or anything.
As a follower of God--
Fine!
This is not important at all!
You came all the way here
at this time for that?
When will you head back?
I'm really sleepy.
-I was going to leave.
-Then bye.
Why am I awake?
I have three trials today. Gosh!
A man should stick to his way of living.
This is so not my way.
Again, I'm the first to come to work
Nobody is here
Seo Seung-a is diligent
Who is it?
This is Father Kim Hae-il.
Since you helped me once,
please help me once again.
Why are there mosquitoes in winter?
I got you now.
Sir.
Don't do this, Father.
Let me ask you one question.
Is it true that Father Lee embezzled
the church funds?
The police revealed it.
Please look into my eyes and tell me.
Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
But it doesn't make sense.
Father Lee owns nothing
but just a pair of shoes.
I don't know about that.
I just said what I knew.
Then
tell me how Father Lee embezzled
the church funds
and for what purpose he used the money.
Well
He asked me
to spare him some every weekend.
And I don't know
where he used all the money.
Are you going to keep stuttering?
If you're going to lie,
at least do it naturally.
Who is it?
Who asked you to testify such nonsense?
No one asked. I did as my conscience said.
"Conscience"?
Did you just say "conscience"?
Why on earth are you doing this?
How much did you receive?
I said I just did as my conscience said.
What do you mean by receive?
I'm also a Catholic.
If you come again,
I'll report to the police.
Don't come back, I mean it.
INVESTIGATION REPOR
FATHER LEE YEONG-JUN CASE
INVESTIGATION RECORDS
The priest is quiet today. It's unusual.
You didn't hear anything, did you?
No, I didn't, sir.
If something happens to him
or you hear something about him,
tell me right away.
Yes, of course.
All right, then.
Shall we go have jjajangmyeon?
-Pardon, sir?
-Jjajangmyeon.
Yes, sir.
Where do you work again?
In the investigation team
of the Archdiocese.
We investigate
crimes and corruption of churches.
That sounds tough.
I'm sure you're alarmed and flustered.
Of course.
Who would feel good about the situation?
I understand it's tough,
but could you explain
what happened that day again?
He held my hands,
saying he'd like to pray with me.
And while I was praying,
he suddenly touched my thigh.
That was so creepy.
I ran out of the place straight away.
The main hall.
I saw it happened
in the prayer room in the main hall.
There's a big window, where people can
see everything through from outside.
Of course the curtains were closed.
He wouldn't have done it with them open.
A window in the prayer room, you say?
Okay, that's that.
Although Father Lee Yeong-jun was old,
he was over 90kg,
so it must have been hard for you
to push him away.
Well
In emergencies,
you can be incredibly strong.
Father Lee Yeong-jun, over 90kg?
This woman has never even met him.
Thank you for the interview.
So he met both of them?
Yes, sir.
Well, I'll be damned.
That priest just jumped over the line.
If we don't do anything about him,
he will probably keep visiting them.
Hey, Gojayev.
Stop eating and listen to me.
You have something to do.
He held my hands,
saying he'd like to pray with me.
And while I was praying,
he suddenly touched my thigh.
That was so creepy.
I ran out of the place straight away.
So what?
You know this is a total lie.
Father Lee Yeong-jun weighs over 90kg?
Many people fail to guess
others' weights by eye.
She said there was a window in the room
where there wasn't. What about that?
She was shocked,
so she could have been confused.
That's nonsense.
This woman doesn't even know Father Lee.
You're really persistent.
Then please interrogate the church's
head of general affairs again.
Isn't it strange
that he quit now, of all time?
Whether he quit or not is up to him.
Father, you're one creative man.
"Creative man"?
I have hard evidence here.
Father, this
doesn't have any value. Do you know that?
To be blunt, this could be
a fabricated testimony made by a threat.
Do you think a priest would do that?
Assaulting a police officer
and attempted corpse theft.
Just these two are enough to make me
have zero trust in you.
Who would trust you?
Look, Prosecutor Park.
Goodness.
You're not calling me "old lady"
but "prosecutor".
You must be pretty upset now.
If this is now evidence,
what else is evidence?
Father.
This won't make
what doesn't exist the truth.
I told you before.
Nothing is going to change.
Could you please understand at once?
The game isn't over yet.
So hurry and investigate
the fake witnesses.
Ma'am, you should watch the TV.
Why? What happened?
We feel deeply sorry
about the disgraceful incident.
We will retrain the priests
so the same incident won't happen again.
We will reflect on ourselves
It looks like you ended the game
from your side.
We will make sure to confirm
whether or not priests' sexual assaults
happened for real
PROSECUTOR PARK GYEONG-SEON
How
How is this fair?
They didn't even clarify the testimonies.
I will collect signatures in the diocese.
For the reinvestigation.
Please say something.
Or yell, Father!
Let's bury Father Lee first.
And then?
Father.
And we can't have
a funeral Mass for Father Lee.
We can't bury him
in the Catholic Priests' Cemetery either.
But why?
After all he's done?
That's what the diocese said.
Poor Father Lee.
Why is this happening to such a saint?
Why?
Oh, dear God.
Let's find a place to lay him first.
GUDAM FUNERAL HALL
And in the Holy Spirit.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Brothers and sisters,
let's pray to God, our Father,
for Lee Yeong-jun, Gabriel.
-Lord, have mercy.
-Lord, have mercy.
Have mercy, Lord.
You are bestowed this award
for your outstanding sense of mission
and great contribution to Gudam District.
Director of Gudam District, Jeong Dong-ja.
PRIEST LEE YEONG-JUN, GABRIEL
Are you
feeling better now?
May I share
your pain, young man?
That's my hobby.
I'm sorry it took so long.
I tried my best,
but I'm not that good of a cook.
I hope they taste good to you.
Now, eat up.
Eat up.
MONSIGNOR GABRIEL LEE YEONG-JUN
Please watch over us next to God
and lead us, Father.
Wait there, Father.
I will take you to where you belong to.
I will.
Do we have to be around him
on a day like today?
We were told to keep an eye on him
until he leaves the grave.
We should rather be
praying for the deceased.
A wedding center in Gudam District
had an opening ceremony last month.
For low-income couples
The funeral is over.
Now let's go to the award ceremony.
-It's receiving good responses.
-Why?
We can eat food and celebrate him there.
Gudam Group's entrepreneur
Did your boss tell you to go? Are we--
It takes place in a hotel,
so it must be a buffet.
The winner of Best Entrepreneur Award
-is the CEO of Daebeom Trading,
-Let's go.
Hwang Cheol-beom.
The CEO of Daebeom Trading,

HONORABLE ENTREPRENEUR

HONORABLE ENTREPRENEURS
OF GUDAM-GU AWARDS CEREMONY
-You see, I do a little palm-reading.
-Oh, really, now?
This guy, really
What brings you here?
-To congratulate your boss--
-We don't need it. Get lost.
You're one annoying religious man.
-Brother.
-Why?
If you hit a priest, you'll go to hell.
Is that so? Shall I go to hell then?
How do you want to get beat up, Father?
Hapkido? Tae kwon do?
Karate?
Karate looks cool, maybe that.
Have you ever heard
of capoeira?
You're not supposed to attack
while I get ready.
Now be amazed
at my elegant moves.
What was that?
I can feel
the strong energy of Satan.
Listen, all ye devils.
You killed Father Lee Yeong-jun
and threw him off a cliff.
Anyway, if you want to mess with me,
you'd better be prepared.
Our church won't turn into
a historical site at this rate, will it?
I told you not to come here, old lady.
If you want spiritual healing,
go to a spa or have a good meal.
You probably all have heard from the news
about how a Catholic priest
committed those shameless crimes.
What?
You want me to cooperate with the priest?
