Hellbound (2021) s02e05 Episode Script

[birds twittering]
[water dripping]
[woman humming cheerily]
[Sugyeong chuckles]
Hi, Sungjip. Thanks for coming.
I was surprised you called.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
What,
we can't just call each other anymore?
I mean, back in the day,
when you were on my campaign team,
we used to talk to each other every day.
Remember?
Oh, this used to be, um,
such a nice place, you know?
Look at it now.
[sighs]
Goddamn those Arrowhead fanatics.
Can we cut to the chase now?
Well, it seems
Sodo's had an effect on you,
made you a little colder.
How are things at your tae kwon do club?
And your kids, they're good?
That's not what you called me here
to talk about.
Hmm.
It's a little complicated, is the thing.
[slurps]
Hmm.
I'm asking you
[mysterious music playing]
to kidnap Park Jungja for us.
I thought the government was
working with the New Truth on this.
We are.
Now that the Arrowhead is gaining power,
our initial plan was to, um,
try bolstering the New Truth a bit.
Uh, but we realized we shouldn't
let the New Truth have
too much power either.
What do you mean by that?
I told you,
It's a rather complicated situation.
Listen.
If the New Truth goes through
with their plan of using Park Jungja
to announce their new doctrine,
they'll be getting all the attention.
And as a result, we'll be able to weaken
the Arrowhead's power.
Though, if they make
a last-ditch resistance effort,
we could kill two birds with one stone.
But why do you want us
to kidnap Park Jungja?
Because Park Jungja is our hero.
She's not some abstract concept
or doctrine.
She's a real person, a human being,
made of flesh and blood, just like us.
In the first chapter of the story
that upended the whole world,
she was the hero.
And once again, in the story
where we restore the world order,
she'll be the hero.
A story like this,
with such a strong protagonist,
isn't going to fall apart,
and therefore, the New Truth's power
will keep on growing,
as long as they hold on to Park Jungja.
But if Sodo were able to get ahold of her,
they would have control
over the actual person,
and the New Truth
would have her influence.
You'd be
sharing her. How perfect would that be?
[breathing unsteadily]
Why do you make things so difficult?
Just take her into government custody
and announce
that all these supernatural phenomena
have nothing to do with human behavior.
If you've planned this all out,
I'll assume
that the president is on board?
Wow.
You're still as naive as you always were,
Sungjip.
[Sugyeong chuckles]
Sungjip.
In the history of humanity,
what would you say
that people have craved the most?
Any idea?
They wanna see God punish the evildoers.
That's what they want.
They wanna see
all the world's villains cry out in fear,
confessing and repenting for their sins.
They wanna see them ripped apart.
People have already been given
a taste of that absolute pleasure,
and and you wanna take that away?
The government?
Oh, if we did that, we'd face a backlash
like we've never seen.
So what is it you wanna do?
Here's the thing about people.
When one idea starts catching on,
there are always going to be
those who form an opposition.
And if we fail
to keep the opposition under control,
that's when terrorist groups
like the Arrowhead
start to rise and spread everywhere.
So that means our goal
is to create a world
where two opposing ideologies,
ones we're able to regulate,
keep butting heads in perpetuity.
We want a world we can control,
but we want people
to have some level of freedom
to express themselves
and pursue their passions,
and so on and so forth, hmm?
You know, a world with order.
We didn't make all those sacrifices
to hand down the world you're describing.
I get the sense you're no longer
the woman of principle I used to work for.
I'm leaving now.
What's there to hand down?
[scoffs]
Come on.
The world's already in shambles.
What'll even be left to hand down? Huh?
Listen to me, Kim Sungjip!
Even if the world turns into
a fucking living hell,
we'll still need some kind of system
for it to function! No?!
Building a functional world for your kids
is the best you can do now,
do you know that?
Even if we kidnapped Park Jungja,
we wouldn't be able to keep her.
[sighs]
Why? Because of Min Hyejin?
She'd try to take her to her family.
[scoffs]
I know. I used to like her, you know that?
I even wanted to help her
join the party and do politics.
But that was
when things were a whole lot better.
Everything's different now.
Min Hyejin has nothing to lose
except her principles.
But we're not like her.
You and I have quite a few people
whose safety we're responsible for,
don't we?
[crowd screaming]
[Hyejin] So this was your plan,
using a subject of demonstration?
All right, come on, let's move!

SEASON 2
- [executor roaring]
- [woman yelps]
[woman screams]
[woman] Move! No, get off!
[snarling]
No! Get off!
- No!
- I confess my sins!
Let me join the demonstration!
[screams]
- [man 2] Let me join too!
- [executor snarling]
I confess my sins!
[executors snarling]
[screaming]
[woman 1] The Sodo people
are making their way
through the underground passage
we secured.
[man 1] More policemen
are being dispatched
as a precaution against potential riots.
Things are moving faster than expected,
but still within the projected timeframe.
The Resurrected One
and Chairman Kim Jeongchil
have safely evacuated.
All broadcasting stations
are reporting on the incident,
and NTBC is gearing up for
an extensive special coverage segment.
Where are the Sodo people right now?
They're in Building A
by the west-side emergency exit.
Building A west-side emergency exit.
Right. Okay, that's good. Hmm.
Oh. Ms. Lee.
Pinwheel has been live streaming
on his channel for the last ten minutes.
I think he's telling the Arrowhead members
to break into the main building.
I'll put it on the screen.
[keyboard clacking]
Hurry!
Everyone, come to the main building now!
Tonight's about to be amazing.
We gotta hurry!
[crowd screaming]
- All right, let's go!
- Let's go!
- [crowd clamoring]
- [man 3] Pinwheel is calling us!
[dramatic music playing]
WHY IS THE ARROWHEAD GATHERING
AT THE NEW TRUTH'S MAIN BUILDING?
[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
They must think
the feds are all a big joke.
[scoffs] These people think
they own the world.
- [Arrowhead members yelling furiously]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Pinwheel] Gather around, everyone!
- [ominous music playing]
I think
[Pinwheel] We are here
to figure out our plan
I should go on sooner.
Yes, sir.
I've got a message from the chairman.
He wants to go on sooner than planned.
- [Pinwheel continues speaking]
- Okay, copy.
Just like we promised,
we'll take the first step
toward our new beginning.
And step number one is a big announcement!
[cheering, yelling]
THE CHAIRMAN WANTS TO APPEAR EARLIER
But before that,
we need to capture Kim Jeongchil
and Park Jungja.
Arrowhead family!
We need everyone's help!
- Show them what we got!
- [cheering, yelling]
[man 1] Cut!
[cheering, yelling stop]
[coughs]
Hey, get me water.
[indistinct chatter]
Chairman, we've found
a better place for you.
Let's go.
[cheering]
[man 1] All right, let's go!
[tense music playing]
Jeong Hyeoksang,
your demonstration's in an hour?
It's in 56 minutes.
There's a black van parked in area A18.
Parking lot, ground floor.
The key's inside.
The plate number's 3081.
We have to rescue Park
and get to the van in 56 minutes.
Mr. Jeong here will be helping us escape.
What the hell are you doing? Huh?
I can't believe you're using
demonstration subjects this way.
Our priority is to rescue Park, isn't it?
This is the only plan
the branch leaders would go along with.
[breathing deeply]
Ms. Min.
He's not using us.
That's not what's going on.
Both Ms. Lee and I
made a choice to do this.
Please try to fix this world.
Please don't let our deaths be in vain.
Please make things right.
You and I will go try to rescue Park.
Mr. Jeong, please wait for us
inside the parked van.
Okay.
So where is she right now?
Our informant will let us know soon.
Mr. Jeong, go on ahead.
Yeah.
[uneasy music playing]
A lot of people get hurt
during the demonstrations.
You'll have to take responsibility
once this is over.
I just hope I make it out of here alive.
[breathing heavily]
[menacing music playing]
[chuckles wickedly]
[man 1] Push through!
[Arrowhead members clamoring]
[man 2] Get out of the way,
you filthy bastards!
[music subsides]
Stop them. Stop them, goddamn it!
Sir. Sorry, sir.
Arrowhead members are
storming into the main building.
CULT LEADER
Yeah?
Oh, Ms. Lee,
the Arrowhead's getting out of control.
- You gotta get us out of here.
- [Lee] Right, please calm down.
We're well aware of the current situation.
We've got a SWAT team nearby,
and they'll be arriving
at the main building soon.
What's important right now
is that you don't let
the Arrowhead get ahold of Park Jungja.
You think I don't know that?!
Listen, things are
really getting out of hand here!
I told you to calm down, okay?
Where are you right now?
- Where are we?
- Building C, second floor.
Building C, second floor.
Pinwheel is heading to
the first floor of Building A.
Listen carefully.
Now go to
the third floor of Building B.
- Third floor, Building B?
- Yes, and wait at the end of the hall.
We'll be sending a rescue team over soon.
Everything clear?
All right, good,
send in a rescue or a SWAT team.
Just send them right the fuck now!
[disconnect tone]
Did he just say "fuck"?
Yeah. That's what he said.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
All right,
so we're sending Sodo over to them now.
[phone buzzing]
3RD FLOOR OF BUILDING B, END OF THE HALL
[unsettling music playing]
Park Jungja's on Building C's third floor,
at the end of the hall.
Let's move.
[man 1] Whoa. This is crazy!
[man 2] Whoo, what is this place?
[man 3] Whoa.
[Pinwheel] What do you think?
Is this not the perfect place
for announcing your return?
Over here. This way, sir.
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[man 4] All right, we're going live, guys.
In five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Now!
Let me ask you a question.
Who can purge the world
of all the sin and chaos
and lead us down a righteous path
paved by God?
[all yelling]
Who can do that?
Tell me who! Tell me who!
The fraud Kim Jeongchil, can he do it?
- Of course he can't!
- [all yelling]
[shrieking] No, he can't!
The one who can
is the one who first enlightened us.
We need him now!
Our world needs him right now!
And he's right here!
[cheering, yelling]
- Chairman Jung.
- [ethereal music playing]
Our one true chairman
has finally returned!
[Arrowhead members clamoring]
Chairman Jung Jinsu is back!
Chairman Jung Jinsu is here right now!
He's waiting for us here!
Listen to what he has to say!
Chairman Jung is back!
Everybody heed his words!
He's back! Chairman Jung is back!
Sir.
[unsettling music playing]
Jung Jinsu, the former chairman,
has just appeared.
I'm standing here
at the New Truth's headquarters.
Even when they lead you astray,
with their false interpretations
of God's will,
I kept my faith and hoped they would
return to their rightful duties.
However
I could no longer sit back and watch
while they distorted
the resurrection's meaning
for their own selfish interests.
And that's why
I've returned today.
Everyone, I'd like to meet Park Jungja,
the Resurrected One,
and I'd like to present to you
the new and true will of God
as I once did before, eight years ago.
And I humbly ask you
to please allow me
to meet Park Jungja.
Chairman Jung wants to meet
the Resurrected One!
Enter!
[Arrowhead members clamoring]
[dramatic music playing]
[man 1] Find Kim Jeongchil!
Find Kim Jeongchil!
[music fades]
[phone buzzing]
JUNG IS IN THE MAIN BUILDING
WITH THE ARROWHEAD
[exhales sharply]
[exhales deeply] What is it?
Chairman Jung Jinsu is here.
What?
[man 2] Chairman Jung is back!
Kim Jeongchil!
- [man 3] Don't think you can hide!
- [clamoring]
[woman 1] Chairman Jung wants to meet
the Resurrected One!
[man 4] Search every room!
- [unsettling music playing]
- [Sungjip] Building B's around the corner.
KIM SUJEONG
DEMONSTRATION DATE 8.1.2024
SINS: GROUP ASSAULT, ABETTING MURDER
Jung Jinsu's looking for Park Jungja.
We gotta hurry.
[tense music playing]
- [man 1] Get him!
- Shit!
- [dramatic music playing]
- [man 1] That's Min Hyejin!
Tell them she's here!
- [man 2] Take them down!
- [all yell furiously]
[man yells angrily]
[Hyejin grunts]
[man snarls]
[Hyejin strains]
[man yells angrily]
[Sungjip yells]
[man yells aggressively]
[man roars]
You okay?
[Arrowhead members groaning]
[gunshot]
[music subsides]
[uneasy music playing]
What was that?
That a gunshot?
Min Hyejin's up on
the third floor right now.
[Pinwheel] Ugh, Min Hyejin.
That bitch keeps getting in our way.
- [Sungjip grunts]
- [Arrowhead members groaning]
- [Hyejin] Where's the end of the hall?
- This way, come on.
[Arrowhead members yelling]
[banging]
- Oh shit!
- [man 1] Oh!
[unsettling music playing]
- Sure those psychopaths aren't there?
- I I can't really be sure.
Uh, I'd say probably not.
Go check.
Who, me? Uh
Go check, you idiot!
Okay.
[Jungja whimpering]
Oh shit
[whimpering]
This world
What's wrong now?
She's been like this for a while.
- What's she saying?
- That th the world is gonna end
Oh, this goddamn lunatic! For fuck's sake!
Sir, we should move out quickly.
Right, come on. Let's go.
[Jungja gasping] This world
[music fades]
Who are you?
Go. Come on, get down there.
[man 2] We asked you a question.
Who are you? Huh? A deacon?
I I
I'm not. I'm just Uh
- Just a janitor here, actually.
- Janitor?
- Yeah.
- We let him go?
Hang on. Let me ask first.
We've got someone down here.
He says he's a janitor.
A janitor?
How old does he look?
Dude, he's just some old guy. Let him go.
Hang on a minute.
Yes, sir?
Tell them
to search him first.
Yes, sir.
Hey, search him, just to be sure.
Uh-huh.
Hey, grab him.
[Hyeoksang grunting]
- You stay still.
- [laughter]
I I don't have anything though.
Oh, wait, that's
[indistinct chatter]
What's this timer for?
Uh
That's just when I get off work.
Timer?
What's he got a timer for?
He's received a decree.
Huh?
A decree?
Sodo's behind this.
They're using sinners now.
Hey, how much time's left?
How much time is there?
About 42 minutes.
That's when the demonstration happens
That's when they'll try
to take Park Jungja.
Tell them to bring him here now.
Yes, sir.
Hey, bring him here right now.
That bastard's with Sodo.
Hey.
This asshole's a Sodo member.
[Hyeoksang strains]
[menacing music playing]
[grunts] Oh!
[man 1] Beat his ass!
[Arrowhead members laughing]
[Hyeoksang screams]
Have you located Park Jungja yet?
No, sir.
We've got teams out searching for her.
[uneasy music playing]
- [crowd clamoring]
- [tense music playing]
It's quite concerning,
this reaction
to Jung Jinsu's reappearance.
It looks like
the police command is failing.
Civilians are blocking the riot police.
It'd be a very bad move
to arrest Jung Jinsu in public.
At this point,
getting tough on the Arrowhead, um,
would only lose us public approval.
We should call off the operation.
Frame it as a conflict between
the New Truth, Arrowhead, and Sodo.
Don't call it off yet.
We need to get Park out of there.
Once we've got her out,
we'll deal with the rest.
[panicked] Third floor, end of hall.
Third floor, end of hall.
Where are they?
Where the hell are they?
Where's the rescue team?
- Why isn't the rescue team here?!
- I can go look for them, sir!
- Where the fuck are they?
- [man 2] Where's Kim Jeongchil?
Where is he?
- Shit! Go!
- The Arrowhead!
- Come on! Come on, hurry!
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Jeongchil] Stop them!
- [man 1] Close that door!
[Arrowhead members yelling angrily]
- [man 3] The Resurrected One is with him!
- Stop them!
[whimpering]
[woman yelps]
Oh fuck! Go get her!
Don't let her go! Grab her!
- We found the Resurrected One.
- Okay.
Chairman, we're going live again.
- Let's go.
- Yeah.
Let's move out!
[Arrowhead members clamoring]
- [music fades]
- [Jungja panting]
Hey! You crazy bitch!
- [grunts]
- [whimpers]
We're doing all this shit because of you!
[unsettling music playing]
Don't even bother.
What?
The world has already come to an end!
[shrieks]
[Jeongchil grunts]
You goddamn crazy
[Sungjip] Park Jungja. You okay?
- [music fades]
- Hyejin, you fucking bitch.
I should've killed you earlier,
instead of leaving you with the Arrowhead.
- [tense music playing]
- [exhales sharply]
[Arrowhead members clamoring]
[distant clamoring]
This time, I'll be the one
leaving you with the Arrowhead.
What?
[man 1] It's Kim Jeongchil! It's him!
[music intensifies]
[man 2] That's Min Hyejin over there!
[man 3] Get him!
- [Jungja wailing]
- [man 2] Over there!
- [man 3] There she is!
- [man 2] Get them! Go!
[panting]
[clamoring]
[banging on door]
Shit!
[banging on door continues]
Pick up!
Hello? Hello?!
The rescue team! Where's the rescue team?
Chairman Kim Jeongchil.
Where's Park Jungja?
I don't fucking know!
Min Hyejin took her.
Just forget about her and get me
the hell out of here, okay?
[Sugyeong] Hmm.
How much influence does Kim Jeongchil have
within the New Truth?
He doesn't have much influence on his own.
Advisor Ju Cheolhwan is
the one with the actual power.
And Vice-Chairman Geum is
more well-known to the public.
Jeongchil is certainly replaceable.
- [brooding music playing]
- [exhales sharply]
[phone chiming]
CULT LEADER
Great. That's very good.
Pick up. Pick up, come on, pick up!
[Jeongchil screams]
[Arrowhead members yelling, hooting]
[music fades]
[menacing music playing]
[Pinwheel] The man
who betrayed God's will!
Kim Jeongchil!
It's time to stop your blasphemy
and confess your sins!
[laughter]
You goddamn brainwashed fanatics.
What do you even know about God's will?
I am the chairman of the New Truth!
I'm God's appointed messenger!
[laughs maniacally]
How dare you even say such a thing,
you motherfucker?!
[laughs wickedly]
[panting]
[unsettling music playing]
[laughter stops]
Jung Jinsu.
Chairman Kim Jeongchil.
Where's Park Jungja?
Jung Jinsu.
Min Hyejin's the one who took her.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Go find Min Hyejin right now.
Jung Jinsu! You gotta help me!
Hey!
I know your secret.
And I can tell it to the whole world
if I want to, okay?
Let him go.
Go right ahead.
What?
Go ahead and tell everyone
what my secret is.
[breathing heavily]
Jung Jinsu is a sinner!
He received a decree
more than 20 years ago!
[laughter]
[brooding music playing]
[Pinhead scoffs]
He went to Hell, after demonstration.
And
Is that all?
Those are gonna be your last words?
[whimpering]
[music intensifies]
[Pinhead] All right!
The time has come for the Arrowhead
to seek justice for your sins!
Everyone!
God will not allow us
to turn a blind eye to evil!
[cheering]
Everyone! Begin!
- Let's begin!
- [screams]
[dramatic music playing]
- [Jeongchil grunting, groaning]
- [Pinwheel] Go to Hell!
Come on! Punish him!
- Jeongchil, time for a spanking!
- [man 1] Right there in the face!
[cheering]
[gasping]
[music intensifies]
- [music fades]
- [Jeongchil groaning]
[somber music playing]
[exhales unsteadily]
So this is it.
This is what Park Jungja said.
[laughing]
[laughter continues]
[Arrowhead members yelling, hooting]
- [man 2] Yeah! Yeah!
- [man 3] Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
- [executor snarling]
- [menacing music stab]
[disorienting music playing]
Chairman are you all right?
[Jinsu shuddering]
Sir.
[disorienting music continues]
[music fades]
[Jungja gasping]
Ms. Park. Ms. Park, please!
Listen to me,
you have to pull yourself together!
Ms. Park, listen!
It's me, Min Hyejin.
[Jungja gasps]
- [uneasy music playing]
- I was your lawyer.
Do you remember me?
[poignant music playing]
[Jungja gasps]
I'll take you to your kids now.
That man I was with, he'll be here soon.
Once he's here, we'll leave.
[bag unzips]
- [gasps]
- [eerie music playing]
A children's toy.
Something like an elephant.
- [Jungja sobbing]
- What?
I'm seeing some children's toys
and an elephant.
I'm seeing
where you'll die.
[music intensifies]
[music fades]
[closing theme music playing]
