THE SHIP OF SALVATION SHALL MAKE YOU WHOLE

SAVE ME

I saw Sang-mi.

EPISODE 8

Right now...

I think she's in danger.

I met her...

by coincidence after three years.

She asked me...

to save her.

Not anyone else.

Me.

I know.

I...

hurt you...

and her.

But this time...

I won't run.

Before it's too late...

I want to save her.

Sang-mi.

Do you have any idea how shocked I was earlier?

How dare you lay your hands on the Spiritual Father?

What if you get in trouble?

And me?

Do you not even care that I got hurt?

What are you saying?

Of course I'm worried about you.

Don't do this, Sang-mi.

But he has spiritual powers, no?

I thought he had powers of salvation,

and could touch fire and cure disease!

So...

what's the big deal about him...

spilling just one drop of blood?

I'm worried that the Mighty New Sky

will punish you.

Dad.

Yes?

The memories I have of you...

are just the ones of you loving and caring for us.

I don't want those memories of you to be erased.

Even with Mom being sick, I've only held out this long...

because I still remember that father you used to be.

But every time...

I see you changing like this...

I'm scared that those memories will disappear.

So, please...

for me...

don't push me into anything strange again. Okay?

Please.

Please don't.

Sang-mi...

This is all because I love you and worry for you.

If you...

can be saved

by becoming the Spiritual Mother...

I will do anything to ensure it.

Dad...

Mom, can you hear me?

It's your son, Sang-hwan.

I got into a university in Seoul.

I reckon you'd have said you're proud of me if you saw it.

Listening to the same thing over and over must've been so boring.

Test.

Mom.

There was...

a girl I used to like.

She came down...

from Seoul in high school.

I fell for her at first sight.

But when she...

asked me for help...

do you know what I did?

I ran away.

Mom.

I don't know...

what she's doing right now...

or why she asked me to save her.

I don't know why.

But I keep...

worrying about her.

Why, if it isn't Joon-gu!

-How long has it been now? -Things going well here?

It's a small town, so same as ever.

-What's up? Bike needs fixing? -Nope.

Then what is it?

-Need any more hands here? -Who?

Who else? Me, of course.

Come on,

why would you work at a place like this?

Why? Because I'm an ex-convict?

No, that's not it.

Hello, there.

Well,

if it isn't Man-hee! Jeez!

When are you due? You've piled on the pounds!

-I haven't. -Good to see you, punk.

Joon-gu,

this work doesn't pay well, so it's tough.

It's fine, as long as I'm not going hungry. Just tell me what to do.

Did you attend church?

Oh, it's not from church.

Something I heard from a priest in the slammer resonated with me.

"Let he who is without sin

cast the first stone."

So, if someone who sinned cast a stone at me,

that means I gotta kick their buttocks, whoever it is.

What do you think?

-Very deep. -Yeah.

Go get me some overalls to work in.

DRIVING DISTANCE 346 KM

It's playing up again.

I need to get rid of this hunk of junk.

Chil-gu.

I seem to be quite lucky.

All these customers turn up as soon as I start here.

Joon-gu...

Go inside.

You called in all this outside help to kill one man?

What are you doing?

Attack!

Go!

Officer Woo! A fight has broken out.

Right now, a bunch of gangsters are busting up my garage.

Please come quickly.

Hey, you guys...

Why are you guys acting like thugs?

You're an embarrassment to real gangsters.

Come here, you.

For goodness' sake. Why did I come this way?

Detective Kim. Bring some men over to Yongdu Service Center.

A big fight has broken out.

Jeez.

Seems many people these days

like to beat up and suck others dry,

while still attending church so they can get into heaven.

Why?

Did you think

someone would save you if you came here?

Don't just come here

asking to be blessed.

You need to repent your sins.

Well, well.

Did Lee Jin-seok put you up to this?

Lee Jin-seok?

There are some annoying flies that are trying to interfere

with the work the governor's doing for Mooji's development.

This is one of Mr. Cheon's dogs.

His name is Lee Jin-seok.

You punk.

You didn't take me in when I needed help.

But now you're trying to take me out.

Please forgive me! I only did as I was ordered!

Okay.

I'll overlook your boss today.

They say you were hung there...

not because of your sins, but the sins of others.

So, stop that stupid nonsense

and come down already.

Can't you punks choose better places to fight?

Police authority doesn't carry in religious facilities.

See? I had to wait outside the door.

Punks.

Chief Lee, what are you doing out here?

How did you know about what's going on?

The service center owner called in the report.

I'll take this guy in. There's one more inside.

Wait.

But this happened in our jurisdiction.

It's protocol to take him down to the precinct and...

Oh, this guy?

Why? Do you know him?

-Officer Choi. -Yes?

Take him to Mooji Police Station.

Oh, yes, okay.

He got out of prison recently.

He's on the list of people to watch in our jurisdiction.

Who's he affiliated with?

Well, he's not even in a gang.

He's a total lone wolf.

They say he's a real strange fellow.

So, be careful.

Don't you know who I am?

I'm Lee Kang-soo.

Right.

I heard how good you were back in your prime.

You're well-known in the bars and karaoke rooms.

He was attacked by gangsters as soon as he was released.

Fine, you can be my dog from now on.

Bark, you mutt. Woof! Woof!

Look at you.

-Governor. -Yes?

Chief Lee wants to see you.

Is he doing well with what I ordered him to?

He wants to go back to Seoul. He'll take good care of himself.

Still, don't put too much trust in him.

Once a traitor, always a traitor.

-Organize a meal for today. -Yes, sir.

Also, Assemblyman Park called.

It's no doubt about the terminal relocation.

It was one of his campaign promises,

then he handed it to Mr. Cheon's construction company.

Now what? He wants me to clean up his mess?

While it may have been Assemblyman Park's pledge,

you can turn it into one of your achievements.

But still,

if I'm to deal with that sly fox,

I'll need some insurance, no?

Yes. I'll tell Chief Lee.

Okay. Good.

Governor.

Yes?

You left this behind yesterday.

Ji-hee.

Do you know how precious this is to me?

My father, who never even finished elementary school,

received this when he first became the village head.

I don't know why he was so proud of that,

as he never took that watch off once until he died.

Right before he died,

he gave me this watch and said this one thing to me:

"Make it big."

Those were his last words.

Now you must become the provincial governor.

Ji-hee.

You're now really one of my people.

Now you've had a nice rest at home,

isn't it time you go back to Seoul

and start preparing for law school?

That's right, Sang-hwan.

Your mom will be very happy if you settle down and study hard.

What, do you think you're my mom now?

Of course not!

-I respect your mother so much. -Respect?

Have you quite finished?

Han Sang-hwan! Why are you being so rude to my aide? How dare you!

Father.

Do you know how lonely Mom is all on her own?

Why wouldn't I know?

Are you going to keep hurting my feelings?

Sang-hwan, I think there's been a misunderstanding.

-I stand by your father as his aide... -Excuse me.

Do I still look like a kid to you?

If you touch my mom once more with those filthy hands...

you'll be sorry.

You scratched it!

You both...

-Chief. -What's the conclusion?

It was self-defense.

The other guys attacked him first.

The car shop owner said that's what happened,

and the CCTV footage backs it up.

Okay. And the thing I told you to find out about?

He went to see a nightclub owner right after he was released.

Lee Jin-seok of Bull Crew.

I heard Lee Jin-seok was destroyed in a brawl with him.

Do they have grudges against each other?

Nine years ago, Lee Jin-seok was arrested for attempted murder.

But this guy here confessed that he was the culprit,

and he ended up going to jail instead of Jin-seok. After that,

it seems Jin-seok abandoned him

and betrayed him.

Okay, then. You go and deal with the ones outside.

Yes, sir.

I bet you want to destroy Lee Jin-seok.

I'm a detective, you know.

What's a detective?

You've suffered an injustice.

And I'm someone who can make it right.

That's what a detective is. Right?

Seriously.

What nonsense are you trying to tell me?

Fists are great and all...

but sometimes you need brains to go with your brawns.

I'm offering to be your brains.

If you don't change your strategy,

Lee Jin-seok will continue walking free.

Why? Because he's protected by a big boss from behind.

Surely you know this?

In that case...

are you gonna become my big boss?

Would I be enough for you?

Do you know who the top boss is here in Mooji?

Make sure you work for the right person.

That way you and I...

can both survive.

Let's get some food. Do you eat beef soup?

There's no one in Mooji who doesn't like beef soup.

Fantastic.

This is why I love this town.

It's full of warmth and passion.

Let's go.

Hey, I said no. If I get caught, I'm dead.

Come on, we're school friends! Don't be so petty.

So what if we were friends at school?

Hey, you got any idea how much he's eaten at your place?

-He's a VVIP customer. -Right.

Remember when we found that hair in the food?

If you're gonna be like this, we'll campaign about it.

You mean "complain," not "campaign."

-Complain. -Complain.

Sang-hwan. Seriously, what are you up to?

We have to hide someone, then run away.

Hey, you're not planning something absurd like a kidnapping or whatever, are you?

Kidnapping? Are you crazy?

You're right about kidnapping.

-What? -What?

It's not us who's kidnapping someone. We're rescuing someone

who's been kidnapped.

That's right.

Look, we need your help. Please.

What are you saying? You can't be serious.

But then how am I meant to make deliveries?

Here.

Choose. The Albino, or the Black Dog.

SPRING WATER ROOM / KIM BO-EUN

-We shall be blessed. -Excuse me.

Have you seen my mom who was in this room?

Ms. Kim Bo-eun?

Yes.

I think she told the nurses earlier that she wanted to go to the prayer room.

Oh, I see. Thank you.

Just a moment.

There's a rumor that you'll be the new Spiritual Mother.

Is it true?

Do you even know what a Spiritual Mother is?

It's when you become the mother of souls.

Isn't it?

Why did you come here?

Because I want to ride the Ship of Salvation to the New Sky.

Leave while you still can.

-Sorry? -If you can't leave, then run away.

If you stay here,

your body and soul shall both die.

Then why haven't you left?

We shall be blessed.

We shall be blessed.

So-rin, what are you doing here?

She asked where the patient here had gone.

Did you not hear what Apostle Kang said?

Don't engage in conversation with Sang-me again. Do you understand?

-Yes. -If you're all finished here,

please help the patients in Room 303 wash.

304?

-303. -Okay.

She's from Seoul, so she doesn't know anything.

Sang-mi.

You have downy hair, like a baby.

Sometimes...

they're mixed with shrieks.

GRAPEVINE

Mom.

Oh, Sang-mi.

You're here.

Sang-mi, what are you doing here?

What is it you're up to right now?

Still so rude.

Have you forgotten I'm an apostle?

Apostle Jo.

If you...

so much as laid a finger on my mom,

I...

will kill you.

My, how frightening.

The malice in your eyes is glaring.

Sang-mi.

I've seen a few people with spiteful eyes like yours.

But those people were never able to make eye contact with me.

Do you know why?

Because I killed them first.

Do you think I'm lying?

Do you?

Today...

Apostle Jo told me about how he played soccer with Sang-jin.

It was so much fun.

You should have been here to listen, too.

It's true, right?

My Sang-jin scored a goal, didn't he?

Mom, Sang-jin's leg...

Of course.

Our Sang-jin is so good at soccer.

He's very talented.

What are you...

Even after three years, you still...

have the downy hair of a baby.

That's right.

You're to become the Spiritual Father's bride.

I need to keep you safe.

Isn't that right, my sister?

Yes, right.

Please take care of...

my Sang-jin and Sang-mi.

Of course I shall.

That's my job as the apostle in charge of Gooseonwon's management.

Spend some quality time with your mother.

Sang-mi, what's wrong? Are you hurt?

Mom.

Let's get out of here now.

Sang-jin also says that

a nursing home is better for you than here.

Did Sang-jin...

really say that?

Yes.

Then we should go.

If my babies don't like it,

then I cannot stay here. Isn't that right, Sang-mi?

Yes.

Let's go.

I...

offer this token to be absolved of my sins.

I am reborn through faith...

to meet with the Mighty New Sky.

This place is heaven.

The Mighty New Sky's revelation.

The Mighty New Sky's revelation.

Yoo-ra...

I must forget Yoo-ra...

Hurry up and leave the house already.

You sure she will? Maybe we're wasting our time.

Just wait.

They leave at dawn for morning prayer.

You see that?

Yeah, I see that, too.

Let's go.

GOOSEONWON

What is this place? It's like a castle.

Sang-hwan, this won't be like jumping a fence.

I can't do that.

There's bound to be another way in on this mountain.

The words of salvation from the Mighty New Sky

is the sweet and pure water of grace

that quenches our spiritual thirst.

I believe!

We shall be blessed!

Anyone who is thirsty may come to me.

-I believe! -We shall be blessed!

I believe!

Those who believe in me

shall never be thirsty again.

-We shall be blessed! -I believe!

I believe!

What do you think you're doing? You must pray!

What is it

I should pray for?

Pray for the perverseness within you to completely disappear!

There they are!

This is it.

This must be their home ground.

What's that on their faces?

My brothers and sisters.

The Mighty New Sky blesses you all.

-I believe! -We shall be blessed!

It's definitely a cult.

Wait just a little longer.

Let's get in closer.

Wait. Just a sec.

You gonna stream it again?

I should record inside and the leader's face.

You see that?

You can tell he's the cult leader from his yellow hair.

He's got "con artist" written all over his face.

Oh, hey,

it's her!

How is your hand?

Has the wound healed?

It's nothing serious. More importantly,

you are our holy spirit and...

I'm so sorry

about what she did to you.

All wounds...

heal over time.

That's what patience is.

Sang-mi. You and

your father have been patient

all this time.

What do you think the reason was?

Why,

because of your mother and brother, no?

My wish...

is for you to be saved.

There we go.

If you...

begin to obey the Mighty New Sky like this,

then he shall dwell within you,

with an everlasting joy.

We shall be blessed. I believe.

You did it back then, too.

You...

put your hands on me and my brother,

then sickeningly acted as if you were a real pastor!

Sang-mi.

There are no fake pastors here...

but there are...

in the wicked world out there.

No matter how much you threaten me, I will not give up.

Because I shall not...

rest until the whole world knows...

what a filthy and disgusting place this is.

Very well.

And no matter

how hard Satan tries to rip you

from the Mighty New Sky's side...

I shall never...

give up on you.

We shall be blessed.

Jeez, that was scary.

Did you see his eyes?

I knew that would happen when you started streaming.

Sorry. But do you think he actually saw us?

He couldn't have. We were too far away.

Hey, isn't that guy?

The leader?

Yeah, that's him with the yellow hair!

-Let's go! -It's him!

Go, go. Step on it.

What are you doing?

Sang-hwan, don't go over there! Sang-hwan!

It's you, isn't it?

The young men who had the incident

with my apostles the other day.

Are you the cult leader?

Oh, my, "cult leader"?

I'm merely a pastor.

What's your purpose?

You can't just be so blunt, Sang-hwan.

My purpose?

I'm asking what your purpose is.

I plan to take those seeking salvation

to the New Sky,

where the Mighty New Sky awaits.

So, you're saying you plan to go all the way, right?

You're a foolish young man

who only sees what he wants to see.

This is the Holy Land.

Impure and dirty souls shall be scourged should they enter.

So, don't do this over here.

Return to your world...

and live your own lives.

Do you understand?

If you plan to go all the way,

then just know that

we will, too. Got it?

If you're going all the way to the end...

it will lead to...

the valley of death.

The fiery pits of hell.

Enjoy your food.

Please tell us if you want some more.

I'm fine.

I'm going to...

drink this now.

Ma'am.

Are you okay?

Anyway...

they say you'll become the Spiritual Mother.

If that's true, then you must

take me with you on the Ship of Salvation.

My Jeong-gu will

be awaiting me

eagerly.

Okay?

Ma'am.

Jeong-gu was not killed in an accident.

You must go to the police station and ask them to reopen the case.

The Mighty New Sky

has taken my Jeong-gu to the New Sky. What do you mean?

-You're hurting me. -Jeong-gu has

gone to the New Sky! He went to the New Sky!

He went to the New Sky!

Ma'am, it hurts. Please let go.

He has gone to the New Sky!

To the New Sky!

Let go! Help me, Mom!

So I must go to the New Sky, too!

So I can see Jeong-gu again!

You must take me if you become the Spiritual Mother.

Stop!

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, my.

What have I done?

Sang-me is...

a very precious person here in Gooseonwon.

Oh, no, what should I do?

I must be going senile.

Apostle Im!

I'm coming!

Apostle Kang.

I'm so sorry.

Take her home.

-But I haven't finished my volunteering... -Now.

Very well.

"Help my son pass his exam."

And he shall.

Jeong Mi-young.

Doesn't this woman get sick of it?

Always praying for her son to get married.

If she wants it that bad, she should send him to a matchmaker.

What's the use of asking us?

Goodness me.

Yes?

Oh, my. Hello, sir.

Have you eaten?

I'm guessing the Spiritual Father's not here.

That's right.

Apostle Jo,

please give this...

to the Spiritual Father.

Money for a special prayer?

I sold my cows for this.

Please...

make sure he gets this.

We shall be blessed.

Sir, you are overflowing with the Mighty New Sky's grace.

By living this faithfully, you're guaranteed a first-class seat.

Oh, my.

I still have a long way before I can ride the Ship of Salvation.

And also,

I need to take my children with me.

Do not worry.

I'll make a special request to the Spiritual Father

and ask him to pray for you.

Keep your spirits up.

We shall be blessed.

We shall be blessed.

I'll be going, then.

Spiritual Father.

I came by briefly

to see Apostle Jo.

Leaving already?

At least have some tea...

Goodness me, I couldn't! I must head back down

and clear the cow dung.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Goodbye, Spiritual Father.

Get home safely.

-Take care of yourself. -Thank you.

Oh, the peaches are nice and ripe.

You've been...

working hard, Apostle Jo.

No.

I'm not doing this for myself.

It's all for the Mighty New Sky.

If we can build a bigger prayer house and a hospital, too,

it would be great for our members.

It would be. That will be the Mighty New Sky's grace and blessing.

It's an honor to the New Sky, and a blessing here in Mooji.

I'm curious...

why does the Spiritual Mother have to be Sang-mi?

She can be quite fierce.

There is so much evil in the world right now.

When the floods come on judgment day,

we need to adopt a pure scapegoat

if we are to board the Ship of Salvation.

To me, Sang mi

is that pure scapegoat, who shall let us all

onto the Ship of Salvation.

Do you now understand

why I must marry Sang-mi

and make her the Spiritual Mother?

In any case, Spiritual Father.

You've always been

very unique.

She asked me...

to save her.

DELIVERY DAEBONG BUILDING, 43 GEUMNAK, MOOJI

Damn.

Look at those eyes!

It's like they've been brainwashed. It's weird.

Isn't this a bit too dangerous?

Guys. This is how we'll do it.

The demons are

jealous that you're becoming the Spiritual Mother,

so they keep causing mischief.

In times like this,

you must focus on praying more.

Do you really not know

what they plan to do to me?

What you're doing

is selling me off to them!

Sang-mi, just as the Spiritual Father said,

I shall never give up on you.

Dad!

YOU KNOW ME, RIGHT?

HAN SANG-HWAN

YOU NEED TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR. THAT WAY, I CAN HELP

ARE YOU BEING LOCKED UP?

WERE YOU SERIOUS WHEN YOU ASKED ME TO SAVE YOU?

HANG ON. I WILL COME AND SAVE YOU.

BOLD GUY

For real?

Is she really in trouble?

She...

She's being held...

by a strange religious cult right now.

I saw someone like that in jail.

I heard he got into some cult,

and killed his own child, saying it was possessed by spirits.

Han Sang-hwan.

In that case...

are you sure you won't run this time?

This time...

I won't...

run away.

Hey, Dong-chul!

You...

This guy looks good in whatever he wears. Right?

Dude, you know how much I missed you?

Come here, Dong-chul.

Stop that.

How have you been?

You had it rough.

Hey, Dong-chul.

It's been three years.

Let's have a drink.

MOOJI ARABIAN NIGHTS

Then instead of this,

how about we sneak in at night and get her out?

You crazy? Easier said than done.

Also,

what if she suddenly turns around and says, "I never asked them to save me"?

No way.

She had...

the same look of desperation...

that she had three years ago.

Seok Dong-chul, you should be working.

You'll be in big trouble if the boss finds you slacking off during your shift.

I'm coming.

-When are we doing this? -At dawn.

When they go for morning prayer.

Okay. See you at dawn, then.

Okay.

Go back in. Keep it up!

Hey, Han Sang-hwan.

Do you know how Dong-chul's getting by?

He works as a delivery driver in the day, and works here at night.

-What are you getting at? -He's trying to settle down now.

Don't drag him into your games.

If things go wrong for you,

you still have your dad.

But he has no one.

Don't think you know everything based on what you see.

Even though you say that...

you two are from two different worlds.

That's your and his fate.

Sang-hwan, don't.

-Let's go. Don't start trouble. -Yeah, Sang-hwan.

Hit me.

At the end of the day,

your father will protect you.

Our worlds?

Fate?

I'll change all that.

Let's go.

Drink up.

Hello, assemblyman.

-I seem to be a little late. -Not at all. My busy brother.

Come sit over here.

Sit on this cushion here.

Thank you, Mr. Kim.

Long time no see, Governor Han.

Spending time with that young aide of yours

seems to have taken a few years off you, too.

You're looking great, too, Director Ji.

The Chairman Kim scandal must have been tough on you.

Hello.

What are you doing? Shake hands.

We'll need the former and current governors to join forces

for our district to also develop greatly, no?

-It's been a long time, Governor Han. -Yes, it has been a long time, Mr. Cheon.

Dong-chul.

I know it's not my business, but don't get your expectations up.

Don't get taken advantage of again.

You and I... we have different roots to them. You got that?

I'll take care of myself.

He's a just friend from school. You have your own lives in the real world.

See you later.

Hey. Wake up.

What? What is it?

By the way, where's Dong-chul?

Do you think that guy earlier

changed Dong-chul's mind?

Don't say such things.

Dong-chul is not such a person.

Dong-chul...

will be here.

We shall be blessed.

We shall be blessed.

The air this morning is crisp.

Yes, it's a morning filled with the Mighty New Sky's grace.

It may be summer, but the morning is very cool.

You'll catch a cold. Quickly, hop in.

STAY AT HOME AND DON'T LEAVE IF POSSIBLE

Just a minute.

Can't I just rest at home today?

Why?

I don't feel so good.

I think I've caught a cold.

I'd like to skip morning prayer today.

In that case,

let's go to Gooseonwon and rest there.

It's because our future Spiritual Mother has come somewhere filthy

after being in a spiritually clean environment.

My head starts to throb, too, when I leave our grounds.

Yes. Go drink a nice warm glass of Water of Life and take a rest.

We'll miss the good word if we don't get going. Let's go.

Yes.

Sang-hwan.

Are you gonna keep waiting for Dong-chul?

Let's go.

You'll get to stay with your mother from today, so don't worry.

Sorry?

Apostle Im didn't tell you?

The Spiritual Father wants you back at Gooseonwon.

It's fantastic news. The Spiritual Father has given special permission.

Dad.

What do you mean?

Back at Gooseonwon? What about my things?

Don't you worry.

We'll have our brothers and sisters go collect them.

Why the long face, Sang-mi?

Isn't this what you had hoped for?

Apostle Jo.

Yes?

When we return to Gooseonwon,

she'll begin training

to become the Spiritual Mother.

Please do not call her by her name from now on.

Oh, my, I do apologize.

I just got so used to calling her that.

This silly mouth of mine.

Dong-chul, where are you?

Those people have cleared up her things here.

-What? -They're taking her luggage!

Han Sang-hwan, whatever happens, you must not lose that van, okay?

Got it. Don't worry.

I won't lose that van.

They're onto us.

Hold on tight.

You ready?

Dude, I'm a policeman's son.

And I'm a wrestler.

Let's go.

They are demons.

They're here to try and dare to take what is the Mighty New Sky's.

Do you know the best ammunition against evil demons like them?

This.

They need a good beating to knock sense into them.

Brother Wan-deok.

I will save you.

SAVE ME

Proof?

I doubt they'd leave any so carelessly.

And even if they did...

it's useless.

-What are you saying? -If you got money and connections,

you can make the innocent guilty.

That's what happened to me.

No?

This time will be different.

Trust me.
