"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

"But of that day and hour, no one knows."

"Nor the Son..."

(Episode 15)

The book.

It's the wrong book.

Bring me mine immediately.

I'm done looking at the copied pages.

Bring me my book right now.

The content is the same.

Then this doesn't make any sense!

Bring me my book right away.

If this isn't some kind of trick...

A trick? And what if it's not?

Wait, are you saying I'm the one being fooled?

It's either you or me.

You'll know which one.

I would never deceive you.

I never deceive anyone!

My father didn't deceive me either.

So head over to that darn Baek Sang Ho...

and bring me back my book.

Did you and Im Hee Jung memorize the same words?

Have you ever crosschecked?

My father never deceived me.

Why would he?

No...

"Nor the Son,"

"but my Father only."

The sacred scar.

The blessed pain.

Let me share my testimony during tomorrow's service.

Did you experience something special that you'd like to share?

I had 7 experiences over the course of 2 years.

Pastor Seo's deep faith regarding miraculous resurrections.

Yes, the experience was special.

The people of New Life Church...

No, the world should know of it.

Don't be cryptic and tell me what this is about.

The stigmata serial murders.

"The sacred scar. The blessed pain."

That's what he always said when stabbing the hands of his victims.

It's also what I heard...

whenever I was caned as a boy.

Let me be the one that stops your child.

In return,

you will give me what you were going to give...

your daughter.

The land I bought to build the prayer house?

Only something along that scale...

will solidify the trust aspect of our deal.

It's hardly enough.

You'll have to at least pledge me your life...

for me to trust you. Don't you agree?

I'm doing it tomorrow.

I'll get it done, so sit tight and stop worrying.

The land will be yours as promised.

Keep that safe until I come to take it back.

"But of that day and hour, no one knows."

"Not even the angels of Heaven, nor the Son..."

"But..."

"my Father only."

Don't you worry.

Our fates have now been entwined,

so I will hide this at a place...

where only I can find it.

Some time ago,

Sang Ho privately met with Pastor Kwon twice.

Shortly afterwards,

the land set aside for a prayer house...

was turned over to Sang Ho.

It was a sweet spot with a view over the ocean.

Hee Jung loved it.

Here you go.

Baek Sang Ho must've had leverage over Pastor Kwon.

The biological son he's been hiding from his church...

is a serial killer that's been terrorizing the nation.

Baek Sang Ho received the land...

in exchange for his silence.

I had no idea.

I didn't know anything about the deal at the time.

All Pastor Kwon said...

was that he and Sang Ho...

would either thrive together or die together.

He then said...

that the details of the deal...

would be buried in a place only he knows.

Soon after, he published a special copy...

of Gospel of New Life.

Pastor Kwon stated...

that it contained a map leading to Baek Sang Ho's sin.

Do you roughly remember when those two privately met?

Roughly?

On July 11, 2000.

And then on August 2.

(7th: July 9, 2000)

(8th: August 1, 2000)

So what happened to Seo Sang Won afterwards?

There was a small building Pastor Kwon was going to give me.

He gave it to Hee Jung instead,

and had the top floor...

be occupied by Sang Won.

For 20 years?

Yes.

So he was locked up there.

You and Im Hee Jung monitored him.

Am I right?

We should get going now.

Do you trust me, Detective?

I can offer you my hand even if I don't.

So Im Hee Jung must've blackmailed Baek Sang Ho.

She threatened to find the book and reveal his sin.

We should talk over some tea.

Sure.

Oh, gosh.

I thought he'd live forever considering how healthy he was.

You two...

should also check on your hearts to see if there aren't any issues.

Thanks.

I'll get around to do it.

You should.

Sang Ho,

- it's time we ended this deal. - What?

The evidence of your sin was supposed to be...

returned after the statute of limitations expires.

The statute of limitations on Sang Won's sins expired,

but yours will live on forever.

So? You'll hand over my evidence to me?

And I'll take back the hotel which was supposed to be mine.

I'll pay you the current market price of the land.

No, I even want the interest.

You don't need the hotel. You have New Life Foundation.

Deacon Jang, don't tell me...

you also know where the videotape is hidden.

Regarding the map...

Deacon Jang!

You should check up on Seo Sang Won.

Oh, right. I almost forgot. Okay.

I'll leave you guys to talk.

She asked for his hotel?

That's a lot.

What would he have thought after he heard her say that?

But Pastor Seo was the one who killed Hee Jung.

Yes.

Im Hee Jung was brutally murdered by a serial killer...

who had been hiding for 20 years.

And I was invited there.

Because of Seo Sang Won, Im Hee Jung's death...

was considered another stigmata murder.

We didn't even think of any other possibilities.

There are lots of CCTV blind spots there.

Anyone could come and go without getting caught on camera...

if he or she wanted to.

Jang Ki Ho.

I didn't know he was going to give me such a hard time.

Maybe I should've just kept Im Hee Jung alive.

I didn't even have a name,

and I was locked up in a room waiting for death.

But you showed up like a saint,

saved my life, and gave me a name.

And ever since then, you've always been the father of my soul.

But I was foolish enough to blind myself with distrust...

and let my soul get tarnished with evil.

You were once my loyal disciple...

- Father. - and honest son.

I want to rip my heart out...

and go back to how I used to be.

What do you need me to do?

Punish Im Hee Jung for suppressing the blessings of salvation...

and for being so corrupt.

Then...

she can become your eighth scapegoat,

and you can show the world the miracles of your resurrection.

That miracle cannot happen...

with her corrupt soul.

Then why don't you let me...

do it on your behalf?

Let me punish her instead.

I give you my permission.

Pastor Seo, you should let some fresh air inside.

"He was pierced for our transgressions."

"He was crushed for our iniquities."

"The punishment that brought us peace..."

"was on him."

"The punishment that brought us peace..."

"was on him."

"And by his wounds..."

"we are healed."

That's how you looked at me when we first met.

So you probably would've ended up like this one day...

even if you didn't blackmail me.

You look at me exactly like...

how my mother did before she abandoned me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm only talking about the way you look at me.

Unlike you, my mother was very pretty.

You can tell from my good looks.

It's cold, isn't it?

Those who were killed by my father were also very cold.

One woman died in less than 30 minutes.

He stabbed her way too deep.

But you're going to take some time.

I didn't want to end it quickly.

Didn't I do a good job?

The map that tells where the videotape is hidden...

Jang Ki Ho went to find it, didn't he?

Would you like to talk?

By the way,

it's useless to yell. You know that, right?

Where is it?

If I die,

that videotape will go public.

That's what you said when you first blackmailed me.

But unfortunately,

my father already told me...

that Kwon Jae Chun...

never showed you guys anything because he didn't trust you.

He told me you siblings don't know where it's hidden.

Jang Ki Ho.

No. My loyal brother...

probably found the map by now.

What do you think will happen if I die?

He will tell the world about what you did.

Then you will end up...

spending the rest of your life in prison.

Just like how you were locked up when you were young...

and couldn't even come out.

What?

So that means...

you're not the only one who can read the map.

My goodness.

What are you thinking about?

Kwon Jae Chun's dead son and daughter...

and the son who's still alive.

Jang Ki Ho.

He might show up on his own accord...

now that he knows I have the book.

When are you going to think about us?

Never. You guys are already mine.

As long as you three trust me and don't waver,

we'll all be safe.

How can we trust you when you seem so insecure?

The expiration date isn't too far away.

I'm all grown up now.

So I'll take care of myself.

- Did you look into it? - Up until two years ago,

there was a New Life church there.

They got rid of the church as they sold the place.

Can you check if Kwon Jae Chun ever came by...

before the church got demolished?

- Of course. - Thanks.

Young Jin.

- Yes? - It's normal for us...

to put in a lot of work and end up with nothing.

What's your point?

This is just work.

It's nothing but work.

You're right.

It's work. I'm more relaxed thanks to you.

Thanks.

Can we go now?

Where are we going?

Let's not waste any more time.

It's time we put ourselves to work.

Did you notice anything?

Yes, we found a very clear shoeprint...

on top of the soil where the corpse was buried.

The shoe is from a high-end handmade shoe store,

and there's only one store in the country.

The shoe size is 270mm.

- Ask for their list of customers. - Yes, sir.

It's different from the ones inside the container, right?

- Yes, sir. - Something doesn't feel right.

I smell something fishy.

- Let me make a call. - Sure.

Hey, Ms. Cha.

- Is everything okay? - Yes.

- Did you find it? - No, I'll explain when I get there.

How is Eun Ho?

He's leaning against the wall and trying hard to walk.

- I want to talk to her. - He wants to talk to you.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

You sound tired.

Yes, I'm tired. I stayed up all night.

But you're driving right now.

You should get some rest.

I'll take care of myself.

Is he with you right now?

Don't worry. Hang up and keep exercising.

- Was that Eun Ho? - Yes.

I wondered what kind of person you were.

I found it in Eun Ho's hospital room.

It was stuck under the bed.

I'm not fine with it!

Eun Ho and I have been friends for seven years.

You're over 20 years older than him.

How can you be friends?

Let's be honest.

You're using him to feel superior over me.

"I'm a better adult. I can't believe she's his mother."

Isn't that what you think to yourself?

Why? Why do you have such thoughts?

Stop.

Let go of me. Let me go.

I was very curious.

What did you say to Eun Ho's mother outside the room...

that made her return so meekly?

I don't care what you say to me.

Because you are nobody to me.

But when you're around your son, watch your language.

You're a mother.

Not even the kindest, sweetest person in the world...

can replace you for him.

That's what a parent is like.

Eun Ho had such a person at his side.

How were you...

able to look after Eun Ho for seven years?

You just heard.

Eun Ho and I are friends.

He came up to me first to talk to me and worry about me.

I just did my job,

and Eun Ho called me a hero.

I thought I felt lonely but didn't mind it.

But after Eun Ho got hurt I realized...

I was never lonely.

Eun Ho, can you walk over to us?

Yes, I'll try.

- Is it tough? - A bit.

But I like it. I want to run.

Let's play soccer when you're better.

Homicide Team 1 against Year 2 Class 2.

- I'd like that. - Before that,

let's get breakfast. I'm hungry.

Why are you here? Didn't you two go to school?

It's Saturday.

Oh, I see. Did you have breakfast?

- No. - Name what you want. I'll get it.

- It's on me. - We met Eun Ho's mom outside.

She said this is gimbap. It's for everyone.

Where is she?

She went out for hangover soup.

Is your mom a good cook?

- No. - That was direct.

Eun Ho's a good cook.

Mom's too busy to have time to cook.

So I have to.

Let's have a pork belly party at my rooftop room one day.

The room's small, but the view's amazing.

Deal?

- Min Sung, are you in? - I'll join if I can.

If I can, I'll bring beef or lobster.

I hate you, but I hope you can come.

We should eat and get to work.

Let's do that.

You work on weekends?

Homicide is on duty 24-7...

until the killer's caught. Isn't that cool?

See this? My gosh.

Hello, sir.

Yoo Pan Sool was buried outside the container.

I'll send a team to relieve you.

Switch with them and return to the office.

Yes, sir.

What is it?

He'll send a team to relieve us.

We'll return to the office.

Let's eat. Eat up.

Since we have to return, let's do so on a full belly.

There's a recording of Baek Sang Ho too.

There isn't a world where everyone can be safe.

That is why...

I chose to be someone who never gets hurt.

I wonder if you'd also get the chance to choose.

Eun Ho, you must come back to us.

If you do...

I can't hear the rest. I think he whispered in his ear.

Give me the recorder.

(Chief Han Geun Man)

- Yes? - Are you coming with Jang Ki Ho?

- Yes. - Come straight to the station.

Yoo Pan Sool was found dead this morning.

- Are you listening? - Where?

Outside the container on his land.

His neck was fractured.

Okay.

Let's get going.

I owe you so much.

Not at all. It's our job.

You're the one who has it tough.

I found it so hard...

stepping into this room.

It was like entering the afterlife.

But now I feel excited even before I arrive.

I wonder who is here,

and what they'll talk about.

So now...

I worry about going home when he's better.

In case things go back to how they were.

Who cares if it does?

Now they all know how they really feel.

Call me when you get back to work.

I'll come to get my hair done.

You always say that, then never come.

Promise to come by.

I will. I'll come by.

- Thank you so much. - We'll go now.

Okay. Take care.

- Bye. - Stay safe.

I drove last time.

- Wait. - What's wrong?

Chief, I think we'll be late.

I think we found the tail.

(Speed Motors)

Hello.

It's the same one.

I was asked to paint it within the day.

Do you have a name and number?

No. He paid cash too.

Take a look.

Yes. This is the guy.

(Namdong-gu Pound)

There's no dashboard camera.

Or GPS either.

20 bills.

He kept 6,000 dollars in cash?

Where did all this come from?

Hello?

We'll come right in.

Jang Ki Ho's on his way.

(Special Crime Squad)

Getting to work in earnest...

meant arresting me?

Mr. Yoo Pan Sool was found dead.

You are now a key witness in the murder and burial of Mr. Yoo.

Why won't he get out?

(Special Crime Squad)

It was stuck under Eun Ho's hospital bed.

Okay. I'll have it looked at.

Also compare it with the DNA found at...

Im Hee Jung's crime scene.

Okay.

It wasn't him.

You're right.

Around the time of death,

he was with Young Jin by a river nearby.

(Statement)

You must avoid Baek Sang Ho for a while.

Don't leave the room we provide.

Instead of doing that,

why not tell him that...

I failed to decipher the code?

He won't believe you.

You don't believe me either.

Do you?

You think I deliberately took you to a random spot.

I thought so at first.

Now...

I don't know.

The loss you felt...

on realizing the world you believed in was fake.

Could that be an act to deceive me?

My father always gave Pastor Seo and Hee Jung...

a role.

I was always left out.

They called me one of them,

but I was never able to join their circle.

I was an outsider.

Spend the rest of your days as the lead of your own life.

Should I? Then...

use me as a bait to catch Baek Sang Ho.

I'll decline.

I see you don't trust me.

It will only put you in danger.

I don't care about any of that.

Then...

Eun Ho would've saved you for nothing.

- Did you find the book? - Not yet.

Why do you think he entrusted me...

with a book that's as precious as his life?

If only I hadn't taken it.

Then none of this would've happened to me.

Do you regret saving his life?

He paused for a second.

I don't.

He said he doesn't.

Even if he were a bad man,

I would've saved him.

Here's the list of customers who bought the shoes.

They're in alphabetical order.

(List of Customers)

- Nice. - Oh Du Seok?

Yes, he bought a size 270mm.

The soles of the shoes he bought...

match the prints we found at the scene.

So that seemed relatively easy.

It's weird how he left evidence like an amateur.

- Welcome back. - We're back, sir.

We're back.

- Aren't you going to tell them? - Well, it was all you.

Right. Well, we found the man who stole Eun Ho's backpack.

Why do I feel that we'll hear a familiar name?

It's Oh Du Seok, Baek Sang Ho's assistant.

The shoes belong to him too.

- Yes? - Oh Du Seok drove the motorcycle...

and left the shoe print at the scene.

Where's my team?

They're all waiting for your instructions.

(Cha Young Jin)

Team Two will protect Jang Ki Ho and work the case.

Team One, follow me to Millennium Hotel.

- Move out. - Yes, sir.

(Oh Du Seok: Baek Sang Ho's assistant)

This way, sir.

This place is quite secure.

Officers will stand guard at night too.

- I see. - Please put this on.

Press this button in an emergency.

We'll be sent your location and officers will be dispatched.

Now, please open up.

We're good.

It works better after it has been dried, you see.

Detective,

what happens if you can't match the DNA to a suspect?

Then we'll be tortured by ongoing false hope.
