(Episode 5. The Girl With the Wicked Spirit)

Hello, Dr. Shin Ha Ru.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for the invitation.

You came over sooner than I thought.

The copy of your file I got from the Dept. of Corrections said...

you're a neurosurgeon who killed seven of your patients...

with morphine overdoses.

You stood to make no monetary gain.

You're an extreme psychopath...

who killed only for sensual pleasure.

You scored 38 on the psychopath test.

Psychopath brain confirmed through functional MRI.

Absence of the MAO-A gene, confirmed.

(MAO-A gene aka Warrior Gene. Absence can mean violent tendency)

It's extremely difficult to obtain a sample of a psychopath brain...

as pure as yours.

I had to visit as soon as I could.

You have the perfect attitude toward the donor as well.

I like you very much.

You won't regret...

making the donation.

The Psychopathic Brain Rebuilding Project...

will go down in history.

If you wish, depending on our research results,

like Broca's area,

I'll see what I can do to have a part of the brain named after you.

Instead of "Hwang Dong Woo's area,"

I have a feeling it'll be called "Shin Ha Ru's area."

I feel as if...

my brain has been exposed.

At one time,

I was a quite successful...

neurosurgeon in my own right.

I don't care about what you do with my name.

However,

I do have a condition.

Sure.

I have many connections in the Dept. of Corrections.

No. It's something only you can do.

Those who have contact with him for a while do one or the other.

They kill themselves...

or become murderers.

He'll recognize the characteristics of Ha Ru's brain right away.

It's dangerous.

(Ha Ru)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please try again.

(Ha Ru)

I am a dangerous man,

but I'm also a romantic.

I'd like you...

to be my friend.

To be something as romantic as a friend,

I'm not that suitable a candidate.

In our world,

there are many words...

that are meaningless and yet overrated.

The word "friend" falls into that category.

If you don't want to be my friend,

consider it an investment of sorts.

Out of one month which is about 720 hours,

invest four hours on me.

And then you can have this.

Considering the return on investment,

doesn't that sound like a jackpot?

I enjoy conversing with you.

I think...

we can be friends.

He grew up very nicely. Better than I expected.

This is all I have to teach him.

Pain, sadness,

hatred, and fury.

Don't worry.

I'm bored of cowards like you who tremble...

whenever I murmur and lack cognitive ability as well.

I found myself another amusing toy.

(Establish Law and Order That Put People First)

(Happy Correction, Happy People)

"Jackpot?"

What a megalomaniac.

He really is a psychopath.

(Areum Building)

Honey!

Oh, no.

Honey. I need to call 911.

- My phone. - Honey...

Let me go get my phone.

I'll call 911. Give me just one moment.

The person who tried to kill me...

Ji Yul!

(Seobu Police Station)

"Daily horoscope."

"Something bad is about to happen."

"You must be very cautious to push away bad luck."

Darn it.

It looks like I have a bad day ahead.

Gosh. What's going to happen?

Come out already.

Darn you little...

Dr. Brain!

Look at this. This is all your fault.

This is a new phone. What will you do about this?

Why is that my fault?

Did I drop it?

No, but you suddenly banged on the door.

I was startled while reading my daily horoscope.

That's why I dropped my phone.

My gosh. The daily horoscope was so accurate.

"Something bad is about to happen."

It was talking about you!

Of course, you'd let...

even things like your daily horoscope affect your feeble brain.

What did you say? Where do you think you're going?

Dr. Brain!

A psychopath?

Such nonsense.

It's not like they've met a real psychopath.

They all say they're psychopaths.

Is it something to brag about?

Psychopaths rule this world...

(Hope-filled Future With Our Citizens)

(Dial 112 to report crimes.)

Where are you going?

What?

Are you not coming to the meeting?

Oh, that's right. The meeting.

I'm so forgetful.

It must be the male menopause.

Everyone blames everything on their menopause.

Is it something to brag about?

It seems like everyone is going through menopause.

(Keep Quiet)

Darn it.

You little...

Let's start the meeting.

Victim, Han Sung Woo. Age 45.

He suffered multiple external injuries caused by a fall.

A shallow stab wound was found on his stomach,

and a knife was found at the scene. The circumstantial evidence...

suggests that he most likely climbed up the railing...

to avoid the knife and ended up falling.

The six-year-old daughter is the main suspect?

Correct. Her name is Han Ji Yul.

She suffers from aphasia,

so the case was transferred to us from the Women and Juvenile Unit.

She suffers from aphasia?

Then how did we get a confession out of her?

Because of his wife Yang Eun Jung's statement. She found the victim.

Before her husband breathed his last, he told her it was Ji Yul.

When she went up there,

she saw Ji Yul with the knife in her hand.

Ji Yul's fingerprints were the only prints lifted off the knife.

The victim was under a lot of stress because of her aphasia,

so he exhibited abusive behavior toward her.

Was he ever reported for child abuse?

No, never.

No injuries were found for us to suspect child abuse.

If that little girl hurt her dad...

Then he had to have severely abused her.

This seems...

(Yang Eun Jung)

What's that word?

Irrational.

All of this seems irrational.

Maybe it was his wife.

As for Yang Eun Jung, we checked her dashcam footage...

and confirmed her alibi.

Goodness. That can't be refuted.

So that cute little girl really did such a thing?

Guard me in the Savior's name.

Lead me in the Savior's name.

I'm protected in the Savior's name.

Guard me in the Savior's name.

Lead me in the Savior's name.

Guard me in the Savior's name.

Lead me in the Savior's name.

Ji Yul.

I want to ask you something. Will you answer my questions?

Just nod like this if your answer is yes.

Shake your head like this if it's wrong.

If you have something to say, you can write it here.

Ji Yul, can you write?

Great. Then let's begin.

Ji Yul, are you afraid of your dad?

Then that night... The night your dad fell.

Were you on the rooftop with him?

You weren't there with him?

So when you went up there,

he wasn't there?

Then did you see...

someone else up there?

Someone else was there.

Who was it?

Can you write it here?

(The devil)

"The devil?"

You mean, the wicked spirit?

Why don't we talk about the devil you saw?

Ji Yul, do you...

see something here?

What is it that you see? The devil?

Ji Yul.

Ji Yul, are you all right?

Ji Yul.

Ji Yul!

- Ji Yul, are you okay? - Ji Yul!

Gosh.

- Let's take her to the hospital. - No! Don't.

Ji Yul. Gosh, Ji Yul.

We have to take her to the hospital.

I'm protected in the Savior's name.

- Ms. Yang! - I'm protected in the Savior's...

The Savior...

(Medical Office)

Delusions and visual hallucinations.

She's exhibiting bipolar psychotic symptoms caused by anxiety.

Extreme stress, ADHD, epilepsy,

and brain tumors. There could be many reasons.

She should see a doctor so she can be properly diagnosed.

No. She already got all the tests done.

There is nothing wrong with Ji Yul's brain.

(Medical Office)

I have her brain MRI results right here.

(Ha Ji Yul Test Result)

MRI results don't tell us everything.

Such symptoms could be caused by having too much dopamine,

which a brain MRI scan can't pick up.

Forget it. Even if I take her to the hospital, the doctor...

will only see her for three minutes.

While Ji Yul was shaking from pain,

they just ran tests on her and prescribed a bunch of drugs.

I don't want to see them again.

Ms. Yang, you need to find out what's wrong with her...

I told you.

My daughter isn't sick.

Then what's wrong with Ji Yul?

You saw what happened.

Ji Yul...

A wicked spirit possesses her.

The devil she claims to have seen on the rooftop...

is the wicked spirit within her.

That wicked spirit took control of her...

and made her kill her dad.

It is our job to prove who the offender is.

For now, Ji Yul will be taken to the hospital...

so that we can properly diagnose our prime suspect.

Look here.

Should the police be this coercive when investigating a minor?

Step aside. I'm reporting you to the Human Rights Commission.

(Infirmary)

The MRI of her brain...

showed no odd factors.

Seriously? Could she really be possessed, then?

It might not be the MRI of Ji Yul's brain.

I second that.

During my ten years as a detective,

I have never seen a mom who accuses her child like that.

It doesn't seem right.

It's been a while since I had reasonable doubt.

Let's confirm the theory.

(Ha Ji Yul Test Result)

It's the MRI of Ji Yul's brain.

We haven't been able to figure out the cause...

of her symptoms of psychosis.

We treated her with drugs as is common,

but her mother complained that she wasn't improving.

I requested a transfer to a university hospital...

that could run detailed tests...

in association with other departments,

but I doubt she followed through.

- How did you know that? - The mother...

seems to be into something sketchy.

An abusive father?

Unbelievable.

How can one completely lose it like that?

Even the building has been put on the market.

Was Eun Jung willing to give her all of their assets?

(Seobu Police Station)

(Texting History)

A cult?

That's right. According to Han Sung Woo's older sister,

Yang Eun Jung joined a cult.

I think she suffered from postpartum depression.

After having her baby, she became cold and withdrawn.

She started acting even stranger once Ji Yul got sick.

She kept saying...

that Sung Woo's and her sins caused it all.

Apparently, they needed salvation.

She started to sever contact with her friends and family...

and only stayed close to the members of the cult.

That caused a great rift between her and Ji Yul's father.

We have solid evidence that proves it.

Here is the forensic evidence.

Ji Yul's father insisted on taking Ji Yul to see a doctor,

but Ji Yul's mother wanted an exorcism for her.

The salvation ritual in this case must mean an exorcism.

Mr. Han urgently made his way to Seoul the day he died...

because an exorcism was scheduled the next day.

Candles and mountain hawthorn twigs.

Ms. Yang was the one who bought them.

They're used in oriental exorcism.

The father who came home to stop his daughter...

from receiving an exorcism was murdered.

(Salvation and Heal)

Have you looked into the cult that had Ms. Yang hooked?

Sure. It's the Center of Salvation and Heal.

(Center of Salvation and Heal)

"A mesmerizing incurable disease."

"A miraculous viewing of the Savior."

Those are the words you'd expect from con artists.

Gosh.

(Center of Salvation and Heal)

- Please leave. - Hold on.

- You can't be here. - You ought to leave.

- Leave. - You are to leave.

How many times must we tell you...

that Madam Messenger is saying her prayers?

I'll wait, then.

It's not like she'll pray all night.

Come back some other time.

Then let's at least settle on a date.

When should I be back?

We'll be in touch.

Come on. I don't appreciate ambiguous answers like that.

- Let's settle on a date. - No can do.

We said that it wasn't possible.

If you could give me a few available dates...

We can't.

What part of this can't you understand?

We said that it wasn't possible.

If not the Madam Messenger,

maybe I can talk to you instead.

Gosh, my legs.

My knees are not like how they used to be.

How about we sit down and...

- No. - You can't.

Must you be this brusque?

I only have a few questions related to Ji Yul's case.

Yang Eun Jung is a believer, isn't she?

I know that she is.

We can't say.

It's like I'm conversing with a wall!

Why can't you tell me if she's a member or not?

Is she She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?

(Welcome to Salvation and Heal.)

How was that not funny?

Greetings, sisters.

Sister Yang's husband...

went into eternal sleep recently.

- Peace from the heart. - Peace from the heart.

Peace from the heart.

Right.

Death brings sorrow, but we know better.

We know that the Savior redeemed his soul.

The Savior blessed him with eternal life,

and that is something we must celebrate together.

- Peace from the heart. - Peace from the heart.

Madam Messenger relays the words of the Savior.

Her book touched me deeply,

and I wish to hear more about...

the miracle she performed.

My merciful sisters,

would you be willing to open your hearts and let me in?

Can you allow my visit?

I will ask Madam Messenger.

Unbelievable.

What the...

Are you kidding me?

(Salvation and Heal)

- Madam Messenger. - Madam Messenger.

(Salvation and Heal)

Brothers, we should talk inside.

(The messenger with pure will that casts out demons)

(The Message From the Messenger)

My gosh, this painting...

What the...

Goodness.

Let us drink while we talk.

I feel terrible about what happened to Ji Yul.

One only hopes for her to be saved from the wicked spirit...

as soon as possible.

How can you prove that she is possessed?

Wicked spirits commit evil while staying hidden.

Thus, there cannot be tangible evidence.

Too many phenomena in this world can't be comprehended...

by the knowledge of mankind.

We shouldn't deny the existence of evil...

just because science can't explain it.

You must think I'm talking nonsense and that this is a cult.

It's all right.

I've gotten used to being called a cult.

Even the truth of grave importance...

is meaningless unless one believes.

We don't force our sisters and brothers to believe.

Maybe it's money you force them to pay.

Ms. Yang put her building on the market...

to cover the cost of the salvation ritual.

It led to a heated argument with her husband.

Ninety-nine percent of the cost is donated to those unfortunate.

The most powerful force that casts evil away...

comes from acts of good.

The donations...

are our way of presenting the Savior with our will to do good.

It was to heal Ji Yul.

I had no idea that her mother...

went as far as to sell the house to cover the cost.

I will gently dissuade her from doing so.

It is now time for our prayers.

I have just one more question.

Where were you on the day of the incident?

I don't know why you'd ask me that,

but I'll tell you.

I was with the Savior.

I was in prayer.

All my sisters are my witnesses.

Okay. Goodbye, then.

You poor soul.

The souls of your parents who died wrongful deaths...

are obstructing your future.

You must put their souls to rest.

They must be saved.

Only then can you fly as far and high as you wish.

(Believe, Obey, and be Saved)

I really don't like how they make me feel.

Are you all right, Dr. Brain?

Am I as unscientific as to fall for...

such stupid word games?

You can't deny there's something about her.

She even mentioned your parents.

I said many times on TV that I'm an orphan.

Does knowing about someone as famous as me...

count as a special ability?

Also...

What?

It wasn't my late parents that obstructed my future.

It was you.

Don't bring that up again.

I didn't do it on purpose.

You have a way of making me feel bad.

You needn't feel bad.

I'll obstruct your future as well.

You're always so nasty, trying to rip, shred, ruin people.

Can you take responsibility for that?

I wondered when you'd say that.

(Geum Myung Se)

You know what happens...

if your name's written in red, right?

What's that?

What happens if my name's written in red?

I'll die?

My gosh. That's so childish I'm getting goosebumps.

What was that about?

Wait up.

Madam Messenger.

Shall we postpone Ji Yul's salvation ritual?

She's suffering so much.

What did I say is the first step of sin?

Thinking about it.

What humans can think of is a speck...

compared to what the Deity sees.

It's arrogant to think that speck is the whole truth.

All we can and must do is feel.

Feel the signs the Savior is sending.

What did I say your husband's death meant?

It's a sign of salvation,

a sign of healing.

Why would you postpone when you were given the signs?

We can't miss out on this miraculous opportunity.

You're right. I apologize.

- Leave me. - Okay.

We must hurry.

Yes. I understand.

When the Messenger gave her alibi,

she blinked much less frequently.

I was with the Savior.

I was in prayer.

All my sisters are my witnesses.

It's a nonverbal cue that she was most likely lying.

Could the Messenger have been at the scene?

- Security cameras. - Nothing to prove that.

There are zero cameras and zero witnesses.

We looked until our eyes almost bled and found nothing yet.

Expand the scope and dates.

Okay.

That means the kid was alone on the rooftop.

Did the sect leader brainwash the kid into threatening her dad?

Kids are more vulnerable to brainwashing.

From what I saw, it's very possible.

She speaks calmly and quietly.

She didn't feel at all like the weird sect leaders we knew.

She even talked about Dr. Brain.

I was almost sold.

If not for me, you would've been sold.

Exactly. How easy would it have been for her to brainwash little Ji Yul?

No. Ji Yul's a slightly different case.

I said aphasia patients are great lie detectors.

It means their brains aren't susceptible to lies.

Then, like the girl said, was it really a wicked spirit?

That's right. We can get her to describe the wicked spirit.

Your brain's working a bit today.

What?

Ji Yul most definitely witnessed the wicked spirit.

She'll be able to describe it.

She can't speak.

She could write, but she's young...

and her vocabulary will be limited.

We don't need words.

She won't use her lips.

Her brain will do the describing for us.

Ms. Yang, please don't do this.

I need you to cooperate with us.

I don't want Ji Yul to suffer any further.

What do you mean "suffer?"

We're doing this to help her.

What if there's a chance Ji Yul didn't do it?

Ms. Yang.

I know you're listening.

(Salvation and Heal)

Ms. Yang.

If you refuse to cooperate with us,

I'll have you arrested for child abuse.

Once we report you,

we can break down your door.

What on earth does that place do?

(Korea National University Hospital)

It's the only...

high-resolution functional MRI in the country.

It'll measure the activity of the visual cortex...

in the occipital lobe that handles visual information,

and we can reconstruct...

what she's thinking.

Simply put,

we can get a printout of the image in her head.

We can create a photo of what the brain's thinking?

It's not as clear as a photo.

It'll be more like a general shape.

The resolution and accuracy will improve with time,

and we should be able to tape videos of our dreams.

Wow, that's incredible.

But...

I can't believe you until I see for myself.

Okay. I'll make you believe.

Ji Yul.

Whenever you feel uncomfortable, press the button in your hand.

Ji Yul.

Think of the devil you saw that night.

Now imagine its face.

I'm protected in the Savior's name.

Guard me in the Savior's name.

Lead me in the Savior's name.

Guard me in the Savior's name.

Lead me in the Savior's name.

Save us from all evil.

Give them strength.

Protect your weak servants.

Hey.

This is...

(Neuroscientific Investigation Team)

The witness, evidence, description.

Everything points to Ji Yul.

I told you so.

The sect leader brainwashed her into killing her dad.

Oh, whatever. Type up the report and close the case.

Jeez... Dr. Brain.

Do you think the machine malfunctioned?

The likelihood of that is like the likelihood...

your 286-processor brain will turn into a supercomputer.

Do you have to say "no" in that difficult way?

Was that difficult for you?

Yes, it is difficult for a human with a 286-processor brain.

Let's concentrate, shall we?

Why are you so sure Ji Yul's not the killer?

It was her expression.

Then was there someone else other than your dad?

The moment the wicked spirit came up,

she looked terrified.

It was definitely not the face of someone with mental issues.

He has a point.

The problem is all the evidence points to Ji Yul.

(Yi Na's mom)

What's up? I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now.

Why not? Is there someone else on your mind?

Yes, there is.

That's all I can think about now, okay?

I have somewhere to be. I have to go.

What? My gosh. I can't believe this!

I bet he's thinking of that jerk. What should I do?

Gosh, my heart...

I got too worked up.

My heart aches.

I have to compete against a man?

But...

look at those eyes.

I want to fall into those eyes of his.

No! Stop!

Dear Lord, please help me.

What's that?

- What's going on? - What is she doing?

So she was standing here.

Oh, that's right.

What you see here is that woman, the Messenger.

The Messenger was standing behind Ji Yul,

and Ji Yul saw her reflection in the mirror.

Okay, a mirror.

Ji Yul also saw her whole body in the reflection.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

But could this serve as evidence?

Not really.

But we could use it to get Eun Jung to admit that she's lying.

Yes. I'm certain that Ji Yul's mom was with the Messenger that day.

The Messenger's car was caught...

on one of the cameras in a parking lot near Ji Yul's home.

Ji Yul.

Did you see a reflection of the Messenger in the mirror that day?

So she was on the rooftop that night, right?

The devil you said you saw...

Was that the Messenger?

This is insane.

It wasn't Madam Messenger. She wasn't there.

If she were there, I would've seen her.

Ji Yul is confused.

Maybe you're confused. It's either that, or you're lying.

Lee Jung Ja's car was caught on one of the cameras...

in a parking lot near your house.

She came to your house the day before your husband was killed.

In other words, she was at your house the day before the incident.

To get ready for Ji Yul's salvation ritual, right?

It is true that...

she visited my place the day before the incident.

But she left.

When? What time did she leave?

Well, that's...

She left late at night. Very late at night.

She drank, so she left her car and took a taxi instead.

The manager came later and picked up her car.

Wasn't that caught on camera?

Yes, it was.

Why didn't you tell us right away?

I didn't want Madam Messenger to get roped into this.

She wasn't there on the day of the incident. Why should I tell you?

You're lying. Lee Jung Ja was at your place that day.

She was at the scene.

No, she was not.

- Ms. Yang. - I told you she wasn't there!

Look, Ms. Yang Eun Jung!

Ms. Yang, please think carefully about this.

Ji Yul can avoid punishment since she's a minor.

But she'll live the rest of her life as someone who killed her father.

The stigma will follow her for the rest of her life.

Do you want that?

Around this spot on the second floor, we found...

many footsteps that belong to your husband and Ji Yul.

After escaping the house with Ji Yul, your husband...

He hid his daughter here and went back up to the rooftop.

He wanted to lure the person who was after them to protect her.

Then while trying to avoid someone with the knife,

the accident happened.

Your husband died while trying to save your daughter,

yet you...

are trying to turn your daughter into a murderer.

Well...

May I call Madam Messenger?

(Approachable and Friendly Police, Seobu Police Station)

My goodness. They're guarding her on all sides.

They won't let anyone come near her. Oh, boy.

Cults isolate members from their families and society...

to make them dependent. It's what cults do.

Gosh.

Even if she's obsessed with the cult,

how could she try to turn her own child into a murderer?

I bet Ms. Yang's serotonin receptor levels are low.

A brain like that is susceptible to anxiety and depression.

The brain would try different things...

to shake off such unpleasant feelings.

If you call for a cult at that stage,

you'll end up like Yang Eun Jung.

I see.

I bet the Messenger and her followers comforted her...

and confidently promised her that she would be cured and saved.

Every time they comforted her and gave her hope,

her brain produced happy hormones...

such as serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin.

The moment that happens, it's game over.

That's because it gives you a deep sense of security and pleasure.

When belonging to a group gives you such feelings,

you can't leave the group even if you know something's wrong.

You become their slave.

Your brain knows smoking is bad for you, you still can't quit.

It's just like that.

Gosh, seriously.

Good analogy. I totally get it now.

People do quit smoking, so I'm sure she can get out of brainwashing.

Is there a way?

She has to realize that her faith is wrong...

for her to change her behavior.

That's the purpose of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Great.

If we go that route, it'll take about six years.

Right. It's been ten years since I started saying I'd quit smoking...

Goodness. This won't work. We have no hope.

We have some hope. There's a saying like this.

"Only a pastor can help someone who is obsessed with a monk."

We could try to change the object of her faith.

That's right. Just like using nicotine patches to quit smoking.

Then we need someone who can act as our nicotine patch.

Do you know of a religious leader?

I do. A cult leader.

He conned a bunch of people. I arrested him.

Oh, right.

Why don't we get him on board and put on a show?

He's in jail again. He molested one of his followers.

Already?

Unbelievable. Darn criminals.

I got it.

I know how we can free Ms. Yang's mind.

(Police)

(Seobu Police Station)

That's absurd.

You're barking nonsense. You want me to go undercover...

and join the cult...

so that I can find out when Ji Yul's ritual will take place?

Is undercover a lost concept for you guys?

They know our faces.

They know I'm a cop, so how can this work?

You'll be fine since you don't have a memorable face.

Human memory isn't that impressive, you see.

On top of that, you were with someone...

who always steals the attention,

so how could they remember you?

All roads lead to you bragging.

Unbelievable.

Choose, Detective.

Agree to the plan...

or leave.

This is my place of work.

You're the one who should leave.

You should choose.

Would you rather work with him who lacks intelligence...

- and fails to act promptly? - What?

Captain Seul, you want someone...

who gives you a bang for your buck. I solved the death of Kim Jae Won...

and neatly wrapped up the prosopagnosia case.

Wouldn't you rather work with me who has been elevating the status...

of the Neuroscientific Investigation Team?

Aren't you embarrassed to brag about yourself so bluntly?

Why would I be embarrassed of speaking the facts?

It's been decided.

We'll do it since there's no other way.

Chief Kim!

How about this, then?

I'll go undercover.

The Messenger doesn't know my face.

Detective Geum can't handle it,

so I'll have to do it by myself.

I'll risk another crack of the skull...

as long as we can save the child and arrest the killer.

How can the police sit idly by...

and let a child be accused of murder?

Exactly.

In your mind, picture how terrified Ji Yul was.

I hate you all.

I don't know how his paralysis happened.

We had him tested from his spine to his brain,

but no one could figure out the cause.

It only put us through the wringer.

But then, I came across...

a video of you online performing a miraculous act.

A salvation ritual, is it?

You minx.

You two...

You're not married.

But trying to fool others that you are...

is why you're being punished.

I am terribly sorry.

How did you know?

Seeing who you are isn't my ability.

I only pass on what the Savior tells me.

Then,

could he tell you how I can help him?

Of course.

The Savior speaks.

"Wash away your sins."

What can we do?

Will performing a salvation ritual...

wash away our sins?

"Yes," says the Savior.

Thank you so much.

Please help him get better. I don't care how much it costs.

I'm afraid...

something isn't right.

His thighs are muscular...

for someone with long-term paralysis.

He has always been that way.

But what good does it do when he feels nothing?

Allow me to inspect.

Sorry about that.

My gosh!

The cup looks expensive. Allow me to pay for the damage.

It's all right.

Let me clean this up, then.

Leave it be. You don't want to cut yourself.

We'll clean it up instead.

Manager!

Thank you.

That was close.

It's burning.

The pain was excruciating!

Tears rolled down my eyes.

Never have I cried...

trying to stop myself from cracking up.

Was it that hard to keep your cover?

She could be on to us thanks to your poor acting.

You try and bear the pain.

I'll start with a massage that is inappropriate at best.

Do you want your wrists cut off?

What is all this?

Did you come here to bicker?

She couldn't tell we were in disguise,

but she seemed to be on high alert.

She's not your average person.

She immediately knew that we weren't married.

That surprised me too.

I know I looked at him with love dripping from my eyes.

Gosh.

That must be the reason.

Married couples don't look at each other that way.

"He's like my sworn enemy who ruined my life."

That's the emotion you should've displayed.

No way. How did you know that when you haven't been married?

There's nothing I don't know about.

Anyway, what's done is done.

The issue at hand is that it won't be long...

before Ji Yul's salvation ritual is performed.

You see...

Even while flaring my nostrils, I saw what I needed to see.

(Monthly Event Schedule)

It's next Saturday for sure.

What's worse though is that not anyone can attend.

You must be a member of a certain status.

A neuroscientific way to quickly climb up the ladder?

There is one.

(Salvation and Heal)

(Believe, Obey, and be Saved)

- Madam Messenger. - Madam Messenger.

Madam Messenger.

Welcome.

Has this always been your car? Wasn't it a different one?

I have a few of them,

and I drive whatever calls out to me that day.

How wise of you.

Shall we, sister?

Let us go inside.

You wish to move up the date of his salvation ritual?

That's right.

My love...

I wish to liberate him from his pain as soon as possible.

In order to do so,

you need to have performed a lot of good deeds.

Is there any way to speed things up?

Shall I make a donation? A huge one?

A huge one?

That's a great idea.

Then how much...

It will need to be at least one large check.

By one large check, do you mean a million dollars?

Yes. A million dollars.

Then please give me about two weeks.

I'll sell some shares and bitcoins to get the cash.

You do that.

I do have one request, though.

I'd like to see the salvation ritual for myself.

That will help prepare myself spiritually.

You were right. I got leveled up right away.

I have permission to attend Ji Yul's ritual.

Well done. Bye.

Aren't you working a bit too hard on a ploy to improve your image?

This case bothers me.

The child in trouble has aphasia.

I did at one point too.

Ha Ru.

It's Auntie. Do you remember me?

You don't want to talk?

Then...

you can't talk?

Your mouth is stuck?

People must've thought because I was mute that I was deaf too.

"He was the only survivor. Isn't that suspicious?"

"He should've died with his parents."

"It's such a shame he's left on his own."

I overheard all sorts of things.

But I was lucky.

I had a capable and skilled aunt...

and she got me the necessary treatment.

But this kid...

has a mom who's deeply devoted to a sect.

What she needs is help,

but she's called wicked and a murderer.

It's not fair.

And I feel bothered.

Of course, I'm also curious as to whether we can shift...

the kid's mom's beliefs.

So?

What's the plan?

A head-on battle.

Here's a video of the salvation ritual.

The Savior commands you.

Leave, wicked spirit!

Oh, dear.

Leave, wicked spirit!

Leave, wicked spirit!

Why is she beating him?

It's psychological domination disguised as salvation.

Exposure to violence makes you feel intimidated.

Forget intimidation.

A kid like Ji Yul could end up dead.

Will you use a whip?

Ji Yul is too young.

She saw my face.

The sin of seeing what you must not.

She must pay for it.

Prepare a Host that's most effective.

Let's relieve Ji Yul's mother's suffering.

Very well. I understand.

The Savior commands you.

- Leave, wicked spirit! - Wait.

The old man's reacting oddly for someone who's getting beaten.

His eyes look glazed.

He'll be under the influence of a hallucinogenic.

That's great. I think we can use this against them.

(Salvation and Heal)

- Guard me in the Savior's name. - Guard me in the Savior's name.

I'm protected in the Savior's name.

Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry.

He must not feel well. I apologize.

He's allergic to wheat flour.

He cannot partake in the Host?

No. I'm sorry but he can't.

Even if he can't partake in the Host, he can be saved.

Let's do this.

We'll do Mr. Moon's ritual tonight instead.

No, today's ritual is for Ji Yul.

I decide the order.

I can't cut in line when I haven't even...

made the donation yet.

Why?

Do you not wish for your husband to be saved?

Is there another reason you're here?

No.

Then let's begin.

- Help us. - Help us.

- Save us. - Save us.

- Protect us. - Protect us.

- Lead us. - Lead us.

- Help us. - Help us.

- Save us. - Save us.

- Protect us. - Protect us.

- Lead us. - Lead us.

- Protect us. - Protect us.

- Lead us. - Lead us.

(Brain Works)

I'll show you the real wicked spirit.

- Brother. - My dear sister.

- A fanatic? - Save him?

Stop!

You pushed that woman into a pit of fire.

The moment the wicked spirit came up,

she looked terrified.

Who's this?

What's the next step?

I have a plan for everything.
