THE PLACES, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
Case number 199, first trial 167.
According to Article 297 of the Criminal Act, the accused
is sentenced to two years and six months in prison for rape and injury.
The accused shows deep remorse for his criminal behavior,
has actively reached a settlement with the victim,
and was intoxicated at the time, so he doesn't remember the incident.
We intend to carefully consider the suspect's mental and physical state.
His remorse and willingness to settle
are significant factors in the legal process
and were considered in the verdict.
Therefore, the accused is sentenced
to two years and six months in prison.
Officer,
is two years and six months a long time?
Yeah, sure. It's super long.
By then,
you'll be in sixth grade, Junu.
Does the judge decide that?
Yeah, the judge decides it.
Why?
Because...
that's how the law works.
Then what about my mom?
- What? - When I reach sixth grade,
will my mom have gotten better?
A pastor who sexually assaulted a woman,
in his congregation, was arrested.
Despite his history of sexual assaults, he was allowed to drive a taxi.
A doctor raped and filmed a patient under anesthesia.
A man has been charged with aggravated rape,
and has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Wait! Junu! No! Don't!
- Let me go! - No!
- The knife! - Let me go!
You can't kill with that.
The knife was too short.
She killed herself...
after what that asshole did to her.
That's murder.

20 BILLION WON FOR NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL
MASKED MAN'S TARGET, KIM GUKHO
WHO'S THE MASKED MAN BEHIND THE HIT?
Everyone,
there are many things
that can't be achieved with faith in this world.
Too many to count.
Parents have such a hard time.
But kids do too, growing up. It's not just the parents who struggle.
Ask your kids what they like.
Go to the internet cafe with them.
See what games they play there. Ask which internet cafe they go to.
I hear they serve good food there these days.
You can just sit beside them and eat.
That's how kids grow.
Pastor, then when do we pray?
Prayers...
Yes, we should pray. Do pray,
but do it half-heartedly.
Everyone, praying...
is like society's safety net.
Even with the police, crimes occur.
Even with traffic laws, accidents happen.
Even with hospitals, people die.
Still, bring your kids to church on Sundays.
That's how our church will grow.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
MIDIAN CHURCH
- Thank you for your grace. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
He's incredible for a young man.
I know. He's not even family. He's cared for him for years.
Most family members wouldn't even do that.
Who would be that devoted?
Old man,
that's dangerous.
What if you die?
You used to talk a lot about how you wanted to go to heaven.
You can only go to heaven after you have paid for your sins.
But you're far from done.
Try begging your God
to let you just die.
I won't let it end like that.
Green light, red light!
Green light,
red light!
Red light...
Pastor!
Let's go eat some snacks, kids!
Let's go! Pizza!
Are the drugs less effective now?
Why is he acting out?
Old man,
how could you do that
in front of other people?
Dongha.
Do you want to see your dad?
The pastor...
was like a father to me too.
Can I ask you something?
Why are you...
trying to kill your dad?
Killing...
isn't the right way to get revenge.
Make them feel a pain worse than death.
Make them live in fear and humiliation,
unable to die.
That's what real revenge is.
And that's the method I chose.
I'm exhausted.
So is my mom.
I want to end it now.
Okay.
Let's say...
you and your mom have endured it your whole lives.
But if he just dies,
where's his suffering?
Isn't that so unfair?
You'll never be able to forget this, and will live in hell forever.
Up until now,
I've been living in hell.
I want to escape it now.
20 YEARS AGO
Junu?
Yes?
Take care of your mom.
And this is my phone number.
Call me if anything happens, okay?
Okay. Thank you.
Sure. Go on.
Mom.
Mom?
Pastor?
Pastor.
Junu...
You weren't sleeping?
Is my mom here?
Well...
Your mom's sick, so I was taking care of her.
Don't worry about her.
Go to bed.
Damn it.
Mom.
Mom, are you okay?
Junu.
Mom...
Your mom's sick. You should go.
Mom.
Junu,
listen to me, okay?
- Come on. - Let me go!
Look at what you did.
Damn it.
Do you know how much I spent to get this?
It's broken. It's completely ruined.
I didn't do anything wrong to her.
Why would he bite...
APPRECIATION AWARD PASTOR PARK MYEONGHWAN
Junu.
That's enough.
Please.
Mom!
You woke up from the drug quickly.
Usually, it's hard to wake up.
It's nice seeing you trying to survive.
How did it feel...
to think that someone,
somewhere, at some point...
might kill you?
Was it terrifying
trying to escape and survive at the bottom...
of the food chain?
Goodness.
But it ended too quickly.
How disappointing. It's no fun.
Right?
I wonder what choice...
your son will make.

Damn it.
RING MY WATCH
If you inject this into the heart,
all of his blood vessels will burst.
And it'll burn through every muscle fiber.
That's the pain he'll feel.
At most, the pain will last...
five minutes.
I'll ask you one last time.
Do you think...
this is enough to compensate for your life?
A mere five minutes?
However,
everything should be fair, right?

They found him.
NEW POST #KIM GUKHO #COORDINATES
Kim Gukho's location is up!
We have to get there before people gather. Step on it.
That psychotic bastard. Damn it.
Mr. Kim Gukho,
it's going to be fun soon.
Dongha,
you're running out of time.
Yes, sir.
- How is it? - As you said,
the response is amazing.
Everyone seems desperate.
What about the pastor?
He's gone now.
What about Dongha?
He'll fail.
Most likely.
Dongha...
Dongha!
I...
I'm so sorry...
I was wrong.
Dongha...
Did you resent me a lot?
Shut your mouth.
Yeah, I know.
You did nothing wrong.
I was wrong.
I'm so sorry.
I regret it.
- Shut up. - Dongha,
think of your mom.
You should live a happy life with your mom now, Dongha.
Right?
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
No matter how fucked up the world has become,
how could a child try to kill his father?
You little bastard.
Dongha,
I gave you a chance, you bastard.
Why are you trying to commit a sin?
Thank you for everything.
Hallelujah, fucker!
Hey.
Are you behind all of this?
Let me ask you something.
Why?
Why me?
Tell me. Why did it have to be me?
There are lots of bad people.
This world
is filled with worse assholes than me!
It's filled with them!
So why me?
Answer me.
I really want to know.
I've paid my dues, haven't I?
So why did it have to be me, asshole?
Your dues?
Who decides that?
The law!
This country's law!
That's the law of this country, asshole!
Your sins...
Yeah, you paid for them, so comfortably.
But was that enough?
Do you really think that suits you?
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Right?
Do you think it's fun playing with people's lives?
Do you think you're a god?
You piece of shit!
You!
You're worse than I am!
At the very least,
you never should've messed with my son, you bastard!
Okay?
Who do you think wants to...
kill you the most?
You shit.
I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!
Kim Dongha!
Snap out of it, punk!
Okay?
Why are you so pathetic?
Because I'm your son!
Kim Dongha!
Dongha, put that down.
Put it down.
Even if everyone else does it, you shouldn't.
I'm here. Come on.
Put it down, okay?
I know how you feel.
I know how you've lived.
I know how crappy your life has been. I do.
Now, see. I'm here now.
I'll take care of it now. I'll do it.
Okay? Dongha, give that to me now.
It's okay.
Give it to me. Good.
Good. Great job.
Good job.
Come here.
- Good job. - Damn it.
Get up.
Kim Gukho!
Don't move!
I'm warning you.
If you take even one step forward, I'll shoot.
Don't move!
Fuck! Please, stop it! You fucking assholes!
When I think about my daughter, I want to kill him more than anyone else.
I want to put this gun to his head and pull the trigger.
But I can't do it! Why?
Because!
Because I'm a fucking cop!
You pieces of shit!
Will you become an animal yourself...
just to kill that animal?
Everyone...
Please put your weapons down.
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Son!
Tell them!
What happens if I inject you with this?
What are you doing?
Shoot him!
Shoot! Just shoot him!
Just kill him!
So many fucking people showed up.
They're working their asses off.
Make sure you study hard.
And be good to your mom.
This must be the end for me.
Fuck, my 20 billion won!
My money!
Step back!
Get them!
Get out of the way!
You crazy bastard.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
- Take him. - Okay.
Let's go.
Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Where did he go?
Who?
Joongsik!
Hey, man!
It has been reported that Kim Gukho died from a gunshot wound
to the chest, around 8:00 pm last night at a chapel on the outskirts of Hosan City,
just two weeks after his release.
Kim Gukho's dead.
Midian Church has been running it since 1989.
And nothing was out of the ordinary.
So you're saying
the nursing home and the orphanage
all belong to that person who is in a vegetative state?
Yes.
But in practice,
they've been run by Seong Junu...
I hear he's not even a real pastor.
Yes, he's not registered under any denomination.
And his education and name are fake.
We have nothing in our database
that matches his resident registration, financial records, or DNA.
So all we know is what he looks like?
Yes, as of right now.
Is that even possible in Korea?
In the 21st century?
What did Gukho's son say? He saw him.
He's keeping quiet.
Oh, right.
Joongsik was there too.
Did he not see him?
No. I don't think he did.
Dad...
Honey,
did you hear that?
She spoke.
What?
Somi just spoke.
Somi, Mom and Dad are here.
Somi.
Mom...
Yes?
Yeah, Somi.
Yeah, I'm here. I'm right here.
Go ahead. What is it?
What is it?
What?
What? What did she say?
What did she say?
That her hand is numb.
She wants you to let go of it. She says it's numb.
- Is it numb? - Yes.
- Our baby is up. - She's up.
Our sweet girl...
Our baby girl is up.
Thank God.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
Goodness.
Hey, guys. It's me.
Are you ready for the next round?
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
Who are you?
Where is he?
Who are you?
I'm not going to ask you again.
Where is he?
I don't know.
Surprise!
Good to see you again, Mr. Baek Joongsik.
Oh, there's some blood here.
Am I right? Baek Joongsik?
Sorry.
Forget my Korean. My Korean is bad, so...
I have news for you.
I got a new client.
And he wants me to kill...
the "Mask Guy".
And I know. You are after him.
Right?
Okay.
Come here.
Here is the thing.
You'd better stop...
now.
Or I will hunt you down and kill anybody you love.
I'm not joking.
So, get the fuck out of my way.
He's mine.
