Please don't kill me.

(Year 1998)

(Gongju, South Chungcheong Province)

(1st case of the stigmata serial murder)

Smile for me.

Smile.

That's much better.

Please don't kill me.

I'll save you.

Your little sister asked for my help.

She asked me...

to save you from your illness.

Now, you will be reborn...

thanks to me.

Sang Ho.

Come closer and watch.

The sacred scar that you wanted so badly...

on this hand of yours.

This pain is a blessing.

But instead,

make sure you never forget it.

I will do as you say.

"From Ha Ru to my big sister".

"Thank you for playing with me."

"And thank you for buying me snacks."

(Episode 13)

Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Why don't you ever pick up right away?

Will you stop calling all the time?

You know we don't get reception at my house.

Especially when it rains. And it doesn't work at night either.

Get another antenna.

You're the only person who calls me.

The phone just hung up all of a sudden.

This is how I get you to call me.

- I'm going to hang up. - Young Jin.

Can I go over to your place for lunch?

No, I need to go to my grandpa's.

Why? I thought he didn't want you to visit anymore.

He forgot to take his snacks.

- I'm going to hang up now. - Young Jin.

Can we go to the orphanage on Friday instead of Saturday?

- Sure. - You're not going to ask me why?

Isn't it because you want to watch the new movie?

Let's watch it together.

No, watch it with someone else.

You know I don't like crowded places.

You're so mean.

How will you get by without me?

My life will probably be a lot quieter.

Talk to you later.

Why are you here?

I brought you some snacks.

Did you bring the peppermint candy too?

Do you want to see something interesting?

It's so white.

It must not have any chlorophyll.

It survives by eating rotten stuff.

Isn't it amazing?

Mistletoes live up there...

where there's a lot of sunlight.

And they take nourishment from others.

But this one lives in the dark,

eats things that smell, and cleans its surroundings.

A mistletoe is a parasitic plant, and this one is a saprophyte.

Did you learn it in school?

I read it in a book.

I bet that book didn't teach you this.

Some people are like parasites...

while some are like saprophytes.

Are you telling me to live like a saprophyte instead of a parasite?

Yes, that too.

But people also need to help each other out.

That's called symbiosis.

Look at you talking like you know everything.

What's this guy's name?

What is it?

Indian pipe.

Young Jin, do you think this is a mutated plant?

It can't photosynthesize because it has no chlorophyll.

That's why it's white.

Then where does it get its energy?

It gets its energy from dead animals or plants...

or their excrements.

That's gross.

Why is that gross? We should be thankful.

It eats stuff that smell and make things clean again.

You sound like an old man.

Do you know that you sometimes talk like your grandpa?

- What's wrong with that? - Forget it.

What is it called?

What is it?

Indian pipe.

Really? That's what its called?

My name is Su Jung.

You look so pure and beautiful.

Just like me.

Let's go.

Young Jin.

Do you think there's a dead body buried underneath that?

That's absurd.

- Let's go. - You're being ridiculous.

The sacred scar.

The blessed pain.

Young Jin! Young Jin!

Did you watch the news?

There was another stigmata murder.

Really?

It's already the seventh murder.

The murderer stabbed the victim when she was alive again...

so that she'll bleed out.

It must've been so painful and scary.

She was probably angry as well.

The fact that the last moment of her life...

had to be a moment like that.

What's wrong?

From now on, don't go to the mountain all by yourself.

I'll be fine.

I'm really worried. Please be careful.

Okay, fine. Let's go.

And answer the phone when I call you, okay?

Okay.

Of all the people you could choose

Why did it have to be me?

Ki Ho.

Do you know that Mr. Choi, the owner of Haedong Construction,

is going to donate his land to Pastor Kwon?

- Yes. - Pastor Kwon told me...

that he's going to give it to me.

Right.

What's with that reaction?

- Do you have a problem with that? - No.

It's what I had expected.

So it felt weird to congratulate you.

Okay, I understand. Anyway, congratulations.

From now on,

you'll have to help me out a lot.

Yes, of course.

I hope you remember my sad face

This is the donation from New Life Church.

We'll use it well for the kids.

And there's one more.

We thought it'd be nice...

to invite you and the kids to our revival.

(New Life Church Revival Meeting, Pastor: Seo Sang Won)

The kids will learn a lot from it.

Yes, of course we should go.

Just a second. Ki Ho, bring me what you brought.

Okay.

He brought the wrong gospel.

- It's okay. - No.

The new gospel...

has Pastor Kwon's profile and the history...

of our overall business.

I'll bring it to you right away.

You couldn't even do the one job I asked you to do?

How do you expect me to trust you?

No, it's just...

Were you there when she packed this?

No.

- Are you sure? - Yes. Is something wrong?

Forget it.

Bring the new books.

(Gospel of New Life)

Cha Young Jin! Watch out for the car.

- Have a coffee. - Thank you.

You're a good girl.

Good enough to be saved from the pain of life.

Let me help.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Choi Su Jung. What is yours?

I'm Baek Sang Ho.

What's your friend called?

Young...

She doesn't answer when someone she doesn't know calls.

Too bad.

I know her name already.

You yelled it out as I was driving in.

Right.

Cha Young Shin?

It's Young Jin.

Cha Young Jin.

I'll act like I don't know her.

Okay.

What's your name?

Choi Su Jung. What is yours?

I'm Baek Sang Ho.

I'll do it tomorrow.

I'll manage, so don't worry and wait.

(Young Jin)

I'll just come.

Choi Su Jung.

Sorry for scaring you.

Who are you?

We met at the orphanage.

- What? - Can I come over?

You startled me.

- Where are you going? - To see Young Jin.

What are you doing in our neighborhood?

I'm here for you.

Who did you call earlier?

Cha Young Jin?

Shall I call again?

(Young Jin)

She's not answering.

Don't be too upset.

Your pain will end soon,

but Young Jin's is only beginning.

I plan to tell her you died in her place.

The reason, I won't tell her, of course.

That really drives someone crazy.

Ms. Cha Young Jin.

Ms. Cha Young Jin.

If I'd taken the call,

Su Jung might not have died.

Su Jung's phone. The killer must have it, right?

He'll have tossed it in the sea already.

Or smashed it.

Then why take it?

- What? - The killer...

taking something from his victim.

I hear this is the first time.

He must have it.

- What shall we eat? - Anything's fine.

(Su Jung)

Cha Young Jin?

Is it not?

It is.

You finally picked up.

If I'd picked up...

She could've lived.

I meant to kill you,

but you didn't meet my standards,

so I killed her instead.

I will kill you.

Aren't you afraid?

I could come for you.

I will find you.

Then I must tell you this.

There will be no more stigmata killings.

Su Jung was the last.

So you won't be able to find me.

I will find you.

Even if it takes forever,

however long it takes, I'll find you.

So stay alive until then.

I like you.

I'd like to see you soon.

Let's meet one day.

Choose whatever you want.

This is going to take a while.

You can take your time.

Should I take it out for you?

Yes.

I didn't see it in the smaller room.

The 10th floor of the hotel.

I saw it in the study.

I thought he'd kill me...

if he noticed that I'd seen it.

Here you go.

What's wrong? Don't you like it?

It's too heavy.

It was practically used for display.

Wait.

I recommend you this book.

What do you think? Have you read it?

I bought this book today.

You bought a new one already?

He asked if I had already bought a new one.

He knew that I had misplaced mine.

I think I should go now.

Don't you want some more books?

I'm tired, that's all.

Can I come back some other day?

I'll take my time and choose whatever I want.

Of course you can.

You're free to visit often.

The one who stole your backpack...

and the one who placed it back...

were all Baek Sang Ho.

Why does he have that bag?

I met the devil.

What do you mean?

Being alive...

could be torture itself.

Are you looking for the lowlifes who committed a crime...

in my hotel?

The petty drug dealers?

If you could only find one,

which would you choose?

This happened because the buyer thought...

it was the seller who took the money.

And now they're both nowhere to be found.

Aren't you curious...

to know what happened between them?

Young Jin?

Can you keep going?

I want to.

Why...

did you run up the stairs instead of going down?

All the doors on the 10th floor...

can only be opened with our fingerprints.

Let me take you home.

I'd like to walk instead.

Okay, fine.

Go home safely.

Thank you.

He figured it out right away.

He knew I was trying to run.

- Are you going home? - Yes.

He let you leave on your own?

- Pardon? - Didn't he offer you a ride?

Oh, he did.

But I just want to go by myself.

I didn't want to die.

I was so terrified.

So I couldn't get myself to jump.

No, wait.

Darn it!

Then I saw them come at me,

so I jumped.

Why...

did you let yourself fall then?

They were pulling me up, and I was terrified.

I was worried about no one finding out...

what had happened to me.

Hold on.

It's a miracle, isn't it?

It's impossible to stay alive if you fall from up here.

But last night, a miracle actually occurred...

right here.

I hope you find the culprit.

Do you think what happened to Eun Ho was a crime?

That's just what I hope.

It'll be less painful for you to think that it was a crime...

rather than to think that he willingly decided to jump.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him!

Don't go.

I'm scared.

I don't want you to get hurt either.

It's all right.

Protect me.

He was here, you know.

He whispered this...

in my ear.

Eun Ho, you must wake up.

Once you do,

I'll come back for you.

He said he'd come back for me.
