Hi, Sungjip. Thanks for coming.
I was surprised you called. To what do I owe the pleasure?
What, we can't just call each other anymore?
I mean, back in the day, when you were on my campaign team,
we used to talk to each other every day. Remember?
Oh, this used to be, um,
such a nice place, you know?
Look at it now.
Goddamn those Arrowhead fanatics.
Can we cut to the chase now?
Well, it seems Sodo's had an effect on you,
made you a little colder.
How are things at your tae kwon do club? And your kids, they're good?
That's not what you called me here to talk about.
Hmm.
It's a little complicated, is the thing.
Hmm.
I'm asking you…
…to kidnap Park Jungja for us.
I thought the government was working with the New Truth on this.
We are.
Now that the Arrowhead is gaining power,
our initial plan was to, um, try bolstering the New Truth a bit.
Uh, but we realized we shouldn't
let the New Truth have too much power either.
What do you mean by that?
I told you, It's a rather complicated situation.
Listen.
If the New Truth goes through with their plan of using Park Jungja
to announce their new doctrine, they'll be getting all the attention.
And as a result, we'll be able to weaken the Arrowhead's power.
Though, if they make a last-ditch resistance effort,
we could kill two birds with one stone.
But why do you want us to kidnap Park Jungja?
Because Park Jungja… is our hero.
She's not some abstract concept or doctrine.
She's a real person, a human being,
made of flesh and blood, just like us.
In the first chapter of the story that upended the whole world,
she was the hero.
And once again, in the story where we restore the world order,
she'll be the hero.
A story like this, with such a strong protagonist,
isn't going to fall apart,
and therefore, the New Truth's power will keep on growing,
as long as they hold on to Park Jungja.
But if Sodo were able to get ahold of her,
they would have control over the actual person,
and the New Truth would have her influence.
You'd be
sharing her. How perfect would that be?
Why do you make things so difficult?
Just take her into government custody
and announce that all these supernatural phenomena
have nothing to do with human behavior.
If you've planned this all out,
I'll assume that the president is on board?
Wow.
You're still as naive as you always were,
Sungjip.
In the history of humanity,
what would you say that people have craved the most?
Any idea?
They wanna see God punish the evildoers.
That's what they want.
They wanna see all the world's villains cry out in fear,
confessing and repenting for their sins. They wanna see them ripped apart.
People have already been given a taste of that absolute pleasure,
and… and you wanna take that away?
The government?
Oh, if we did that, we'd face a backlash like we've never seen.
So what is it you wanna do?
Here's the thing about people. When one idea starts catching on,
there are always going to be those who form an opposition.
And if we fail to keep the opposition under control,
that's when terrorist groups like the Arrowhead
start to rise and spread everywhere.
So that means our goal
is to create a world where two opposing ideologies,
ones we're able to regulate,
keep butting heads in perpetuity.
We want a world we can control,
but we want people to have some level of freedom
to express themselves and pursue their passions,
and so on and so forth, hmm?
You know, a world with order.
We didn't make all those sacrifices to hand down the world you're describing.
I get the sense you're no longer
the woman of principle I used to work for.
I'm leaving now.
What's there to hand down?
Come on.
The world's already in shambles. What'll even be left to hand down? Huh?
Listen to me, Kim Sungjip!
Even if the world turns into a fucking living hell,
we'll still need some kind of system for it to function! No?!
Building a functional world for your kids
is the best you can do now, do you know that?
Even if we kidnapped Park Jungja, we wouldn't be able to keep her.
Why? Because of Min Hyejin?
She'd try to take her to her family.
I know. I used to like her, you know that?
I even wanted to help her join the party and do politics.
But that was when things were a whole lot better.
Everything's different now.
Min Hyejin has nothing to lose except her principles.
But we're not like her.
You and I have… quite a few people whose safety we're responsible for,
don't we?
So this was your plan, using a subject of demonstration?
All right, come on, let's move!
SEASON 2
Move! No, get off!
No! Get off!
- No! - I confess my sins!
Let me join the demonstration!
Let me join too!
I confess my sins!
The Sodo people are making their way
through the underground passage we secured.
More policemen are being dispatched
as a precaution against potential riots.
Things are moving faster than expected, but still within the projected timeframe.
The Resurrected One and Chairman Kim Jeongchil
have safely evacuated.
All broadcasting stations are reporting on the incident,
and NTBC is gearing up for an extensive special coverage segment.
Where are… the Sodo people right now?
They're in Building A by the west-side emergency exit.
Building A… west-side… emergency exit.
Right. Okay, that's good. Hmm.
Oh. Ms. Lee.
Pinwheel has been live streaming on his channel for the last ten minutes.
I think he's telling the Arrowhead members to break into the main building.
I'll put it on the screen.
Hurry! Everyone, come to the main building now!
Tonight's about to be amazing.
We gotta hurry!
- All right, let's go! - Let's go!
Pinwheel is calling us!
WHY IS THE ARROWHEAD GATHERING AT THE NEW TRUTH'S MAIN BUILDING?
They must think the feds are all a big joke.
These people think they own the world.
Gather around, everyone!
I think…
We are here to figure out our plan…
…I should go on sooner.
Yes, sir. I've got a message from the chairman.
He wants to go on sooner than planned.
Okay, copy.
Just like we promised,
we'll take the first step toward our new beginning.
And step number one is a big announcement!
THE CHAIRMAN WANTS TO APPEAR EARLIER
But before that,
we need to capture Kim Jeongchil and Park Jungja.
Arrowhead family!
We need everyone's help!
Show them what we got!
Cut!
Hey, get me water.
Chairman, we've found a better place for you.
Let's go.
All right, let's go!
Jeong Hyeoksang, your demonstration's in an hour?
It's in 56 minutes.
There's a black van parked in area A18.
Parking lot, ground floor.
The key's inside.
The plate number's 3081.
We have to rescue Park and get to the van in 56 minutes.
Mr. Jeong here will be helping us escape.
What the hell are you doing? Huh?
I can't believe you're using demonstration subjects this way.
Our priority is to rescue Park, isn't it?
This is the only plan the branch leaders would go along with.
Ms. Min.
He's not using us. That's not what's going on.
Both Ms. Lee and I made a choice to do this.
Please try to fix this world.
Please don't let… our deaths be in vain.
Please make things right.
You and I will go try to rescue Park.
Mr. Jeong, please wait for us inside the parked van.
Okay.
So where is she right now?
Our informant will let us know soon.
Mr. Jeong, go on ahead.
Yeah.
A lot of people get hurt during the demonstrations.
You'll have to take responsibility once this is over.
I just hope I make it out of here alive.
Push through!
Get out of the way, you filthy bastards!
Stop them. Stop them, goddamn it!
Sir. Sorry, sir.
Arrowhead members are storming into the main building.
CULT LEADER
Yeah?
Oh, Ms. Lee, the Arrowhead's getting out of control.
- You gotta get us out of here. - Right, please calm down.
We're well aware of the current situation.
We've got a SWAT team nearby,
and they'll be arriving at the main building soon.
What's important right now
is that you don't let the Arrowhead get ahold of Park Jungja.
You think I don't know that?!
Listen, things are really getting out of hand here!
I told you to calm down, okay?
Where are you right now?
- Where are we? - Building C, second floor.
Building C, second floor.
Pinwheel is heading to the first floor of Building A.
Listen carefully.
Now go to…
the third floor of Building B.
- Third floor, Building B? - Yes, and wait at the end of the hall.
We'll be sending a rescue team over soon. Everything clear?
All right, good, send in a rescue or a SWAT team.
Just send them right the fuck now!
Did he just say "fuck"?
Yeah. That's what he said.
All right, so we're sending Sodo over to them now.
3RD FLOOR OF BUILDING B, END OF THE HALL
Park Jungja's on Building C's third floor, at the end of the hall.
Let's move.
Whoa. This is crazy!
Whoo, what is this place?
Whoa.
What do you think?
Is this not the perfect place for announcing your return?
Over here. This way, sir.
All right, we're going live, guys.
In five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Now!
Let me ask you a question.
Who can purge the world of all the sin and chaos
and lead us down a righteous path paved by God?
Who can do that?
Tell me who! Tell me who!
The fraud Kim Jeongchil, can he do it?
Of course he can't!
No, he can't!
The one who can is the one who first enlightened us.
We need him now! Our world needs him right now!
And he's right here!
Chairman Jung.
Our one true chairman has finally returned!
Chairman Jung Jinsu is back!
Chairman Jung Jinsu is here right now!
He's waiting for us here!
Listen to what he has to say!
Chairman Jung is back!
Everybody heed his words!
He's back! Chairman Jung is back!
Sir.
Jung Jinsu, the former chairman,
has just appeared.
I'm standing here at the New Truth's headquarters.
Even when they lead you astray,
with their false interpretations of God's will,
I kept my faith and hoped they would return to their rightful duties.
However…
I could no longer sit back and watch
while they distorted the resurrection's meaning
for their own selfish interests.
And that's why
I've returned today.
Everyone, I'd like to meet Park Jungja, the Resurrected One,
and I'd like to present to you
the new and true will of God
as I once did before, eight years ago.
And I humbly ask you…
to please allow me…
to meet Park Jungja.
Chairman Jung wants to meet the Resurrected One!
Enter!
Find Kim Jeongchil!
JUNG IS IN THE MAIN BUILDING WITH THE ARROWHEAD
What is it?
Chairman Jung Jinsu is here.
What?
Chairman Jung is back! Kim Jeongchil!
Don't think you can hide!
Chairman Jung wants to meet the Resurrected One!
Search every room!
Building B's around the corner.
KIM SUJEONG DEMONSTRATION DATE 8.1.2024
SINS: GROUP ASSAULT, ABETTING MURDER
Jung Jinsu's looking for Park Jungja. We gotta hurry.
- Get him! - Shit!
That's Min Hyejin!
Tell them she's here!
Take them down!
You okay?
What was that?
That a gunshot?
Min Hyejin's up on the third floor right now.
Ugh, Min Hyejin.
That bitch keeps getting in our way.
- Where's the end of the hall? - This way, come on.
- Oh shit! - Oh!
- Sure those psychopaths aren't there? - I… I can't… really be sure.
Uh, I'd say probably not.
Go check.
Who, me? Uh…
Go check, you idiot!
Okay.
Oh shit…
This world…
What's wrong now?
She's been like this for a while.
- What's she saying? - That th… the world is gonna end…
Oh, this goddamn lunatic! For fuck's sake!
Sir, we should move out quickly.
Right, come on. Let's go.
This world…
Who are you?
Go. Come on, get down there.
We asked you a question.
Who are you? Huh? A deacon?
I… I…
I'm not. I'm just… Uh…
- Just a janitor here, actually. - Janitor?
- Yeah. - We let him go?
Hang on. Let me ask first.
We've got someone down here. He says he's a janitor.
A janitor?
How old does he look?
Dude, he's just some old guy. Let him go.
Hang on a minute.
Yes, sir?
Tell them
to search him first.
Yes, sir.
Hey, search him, just to be sure.
Uh-huh.
Hey, grab him.
You stay still.
I… I don't have anything though.
Oh, wait, that's…
What's this timer for?
Uh…
That's just when I get off work.
Timer?
What's he got a timer for?
He's received a decree.
Huh?
A decree?
Sodo's behind this.
They're using sinners now.
Hey, how much time's left?
How much time is there?
About 42 minutes.
That's when the demonstration happens
That's when they'll try to take Park Jungja.
Tell them to bring him here now.
Yes, sir.
Hey, bring him here right now.
That bastard's with Sodo.
Hey.
This asshole's a Sodo member.
Oh!
Beat his ass!
Have you located Park Jungja yet?
No, sir. We've got teams out searching for her.
It's quite concerning,
this reaction to Jung Jinsu's reappearance.
It looks like the police command is failing.
Civilians are blocking the riot police.
It'd be a very bad move… to arrest Jung Jinsu in public.
At this point,
getting tough on the Arrowhead, um,
would only lose us public approval.
We should call off the operation.
Frame it as a conflict between the New Truth, Arrowhead, and Sodo.
Don't call it off yet.
We need to get Park out of there.
Once we've got her out, we'll deal with the rest.
Third floor, end of hall. Third floor, end of hall.
Where are they?
Where the hell are they? Where's the rescue team?
- Why isn't the rescue team here?! - I can go look for them, sir!
- Where the fuck are they? - Where's Kim Jeongchil?
Where is he?
- Shit! Go! - The Arrowhead!
Come on! Come on, hurry!
- Stop them! - Close that door!
- The Resurrected One is with him! - Stop them!
Oh fuck! Go get her!
Don't let her go! Grab her!
- We found the Resurrected One. - Okay.
Chairman, we're going live again.
- Let's go. - Yeah.
Let's move out!
Hey! You crazy bitch!
We're doing all this shit because of you!
Don't even bother.
What?
The world has already come to an end!
You goddamn crazy…
Park Jungja. You okay?
Hyejin, you fucking bitch.
I should've killed you earlier, instead of leaving you with the Arrowhead.
This time, I'll be the one leaving you with the Arrowhead.
What?
It's Kim Jeongchil! It's him!
That's Min Hyejin over there!
Get him!
Over there!
- There she is! - Get them! Go!
Shit!
Pick up!
Hello? Hello?! The rescue team! Where's the rescue team?
Chairman Kim Jeongchil.
Where's Park Jungja?
I don't fucking know!
Min Hyejin took her.
Just forget about her and get me the hell out of here, okay?
Hmm.
How much influence does Kim Jeongchil have within the New Truth?
He doesn't have much influence on his own.
Advisor Ju Cheolhwan is the one with the actual power.
And Vice-Chairman Geum is more well-known to the public.
Jeongchil is certainly replaceable.
CULT LEADER
Great. That's very good.
Pick up. Pick up, come on, pick up!
The man who betrayed God's will!
Kim Jeongchil!
It's time to stop your blasphemy and confess your sins!
You goddamn brainwashed fanatics.
What do you even know about God's will?
I am… the chairman of the New Truth!
I'm God's appointed messenger!
How dare you even say such a thing, you motherfucker?!
Jung Jinsu.
Chairman Kim Jeongchil.
Where's Park Jungja?
Jung Jinsu.
Min Hyejin's the one who took her.
Go find Min Hyejin right now.
Jung Jinsu! You gotta help me!
Hey!
I know your secret.
And I can tell it to the whole world if I want to, okay?
Let him go.
Go right ahead.
What?
Go ahead and tell everyone
what my secret is.
Jung Jinsu is a sinner!
He received a decree more than 20 years ago!
He went to Hell, after demonstration.
And…
Is that all?
Those are gonna be your last words?
All right!
The time has come for the Arrowhead to seek justice for your sins!
Everyone!
God will not allow us to turn a blind eye to evil!
Everyone! Begin!
Let's begin!
Go to Hell!
Come on! Punish him!
- Jeongchil, time for a spanking! - Right there in the face!
So this is it.
This is what Park Jungja said.
- Yeah! Yeah! - Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Chairman are you all right?
Sir.
Ms. Park. Ms. Park, please!
Listen to me, you have to pull yourself together!
Ms. Park, listen!
It's me, Min Hyejin.
I was your lawyer.
Do you remember me?
I'll take you to your kids now.
That man I was with, he'll be here soon. Once he's here, we'll leave.
A children's toy.
Something like an elephant.
What?
I'm seeing some children's toys and an elephant.
I'm seeing…
where you'll die.
