The Lord

How do I look?

I asked you not to turn me into a monster.

I prayed to you.

But you completely ignored my prayer.

So how can you call yourself God?

From now on, I am God.

Those who believe

your nonsense and follow you

I will judge them all.

I AM GOD

EPISODE 6

Father.

Over here.

Here he comes.

-It's a woman.

-Right, it's a woman.

Excuse me.

Sorry, coming through.

Mint.

Excuse me.

That scumbag

knew we would head

over to Irae-dong Cathedral.

He's not a human being.

He's a monster.

You could lose your most beloved thing.

Most beloved thing?

I already lost it all

when I was eight years old.

You were there.

So I have nothing more to lose.

Mu-won.

Mu-won.

-Hey, Moo-chi.

-Mu-won.

-Hey.

-Let go.

Moo-chi.

Let go.

Mu-won.

-Come here.

-Mu-won!

Moo-chi.

Mu-won!

We have received a video from the culprit.

Kim Han-guk was

in the three-minute-long footage.

After an emergency meeting,

we decided to publicize this footage.

"When the farmer only gave

tasty food to the donkey,

the goat became envious."

He stole your place.

What do you think?

You hate him, don't you?

You want him gone, don't you?

Tell me that you're jealous of him.

I brought him here

because you didn't answer me.

How does it feel to see him here?

Don't lie. Only bad boys lie.

Just say it, and I will get rid of him.

I don't envy him.

So let him go home.

A person who does not envy is a sinner.

I pity you.

"So the goat came up with a plan to get

the farmer to hate the donkey."

"The goat said to the donkey,

'You're tired

from working hard all day, aren't you?'"

"Collapse on the floor,

pretending to be sick."

"Then you can rest at ease."

"The donkey pretended to collapse

just as the goat told him

and got bruises all over his body."

I found this bread

where Han-guk went missing.

Hansel and Gretel.

Anger towards the witch who ate children.

Anger towards his dad,

who never came looking for him. That's it.

"The concerned farmer asked

the vet how to cure the donkey,

and this is what the vet said,

'Boil a goat's lung down

and give it to the donkey.'"

"Then the donkey will recover."

Goat Man, make your decision.

If you want to live,

you must k*ll that donkey.

If you don't k*ll the donkey,

the goat will die.

The reason why the kidnapper

wants to k*ll Han-guk

is because he didn't feel envy

like the goat in Aesop's fable,

The Goat and the Donkey.

The Fact Check team found out

that the boy in the footage

who was captured along with Kim Han-guk

has returned home safely.

The experts are cautiously speculating

that there is a low chance

of Kim Han-guk's survival.

Where's Detective Ko Moo-chi?

They had to tranquilize him

to get him here.

We will now say good-bye

to Father Ko Mu-won Marcellinus.

People of Korea,

I stand here with a devastated heart.

An innocent person was k*lled mercilessly

in front of the whole nation.

I'd like to extend

a sincere apology to you

for I am sure you are still suffering

from the shock and fear.

We will utilize every resource

to catch the culprit as soon as possible

and prevent any more people

from being k*lled.

They just found a body

that they presume to be Dr. Daniel Lee.

I'd like to extend

my condolences to the families of

-Are they sure?

-Not yet.

The body is too decomposed

from being underwater for so long.

To prevent any more sacrifices,

in the near future,

I promise to devise

with a homicide-prevention measure

so that every citizen can live

in a crimeless world.

May he rest in peace in God's loving arms.

Amen.

THE LATE KO MU-WON

Detective Ko.

Open the door. It's been days.

You'll starve to death.

Please open the door.

Please, Detective Ko.

Let me at least see your face.

Yes?

Oh, she's awake?

There's no damage to the cornea,

and your hands will be fine too.

Was he caught?

No.

Did you see his face?

I was an idiot.

I should've checked his face first.

Then he would've k*lled you.

Wait.

Doctor.

By any chance

Haven't we met before?

Bong-yi.

Oh Bong-yi, are you okay?

Yes.

Why did you go there by yourself?

You're so reckless.

-The man who k*lled Grandma was there.

-Still, how could you go there alone?

You've learned some martial arts,

and you thought you could face a m*rder*r?

Then

Should I have stayed quiet

while he was k*lling Father?

Should I have just watched?

Imagine how upset your grandma

would be if she knew how hurt

What about Detective Ko?

How is he doing?

How do you know Detective Ko?

Are you okay?

Hello.

You could've been k*lled

if we got there a bit later.

Everyone else was headed

to Irae-dong Cathedral.

How did you know to go

to Gudong Cathedral?

Sir, please take me

to Irae-dong Cathedral. Please hurry.

I was headed to Irae-dong Cathedral too.

Grandma, I'm on my way to k*ll him.

I saw the same candlestick

in Grandma's picture.

It was the candlestick

in Gudong Cathedral.

Sir, take me to Gudong Cathedral. Hurry.

-You should've called the police first.

-I did.

But they said all candlesticks

in cathedrals are the same.

But thanks to your call,

you are alive today.

Did you see anything?

It was too dark.

And I got candle drippings

splashed in my eyes.

So you didn't see anything?

He was really strong.

Anything else?

Do you remember anything else?

Anything will suffice.

He wasn't left-handed.

-Wait. He isn't left-handed?

-No.

He was left-handed when he attacked me.

We're certain

that the knife on the cathedral roof

was stabbed by a left-handed person too.

No, he isn't left-handed.

I'm certain he's right-handed.

Do you remember anything else?

Well

I'll think about it some more.

Give me a call if you remember anything.

Goodbye.

Since I'm here,

I'll go check in on Chi-guk.

The person you've dialed is unavailable.

Yo-han, I'm in Moojin for an errand

and came to see you.

But you aren't picking up.

That must hurt.

How could he do this to you?

It doesn't hurt.

I made a promise to your grandma.

A promise?

She asked me to check in on you

when she is no longer by your side.

And I promised her that I would.

So if anything happens to you,

I'll be too ashamed to face her.

Get some sleep. I'll go bring

your toiletries and other things.

Oh, right.

I think I slashed his arm with a knife.

Really?

Which is it?

Did you or do you think you did?

You see

When he grabbed my hair,

I swung a knife at him.

I think I slashed something.

-Where? Which arm?

-Well

Let's see.

I think it was his left arm.

-His left arm.

-Yes.

Okay. I'll relay this to Detective Kang.

Get some rest.

Left arm.

Die.

Die. A boy like you must die.

You monster.

I should've k*lled him then.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Who was that?

I don't know. She must be unwell.

-We'll be late. Let's go.

-Okay.

This fake Han-guk

is Han-guk's half brother?

Have you met him?

Yes, but he didn't see anything.

Someone covered his mouth

when he was playing in front of his house,

and when he woke up,

he was back in front of his house.

Did the m*rder*r

leave anything with Father Ko?

He left something related to fables

with the other victims.

Come with me.

Did Detective Ko see this?

He wasn't in the right mind then.

I don't know how to tell him about it.

I didn't know at first either.

But Father

His body seemed off

Detective Ko is

still shell-shocked, right?

I'm worried he might die at that rate.

-Move.

-What are you doing?

Hey. Dong-gu.

-Quiet.

-Dong-gu.

Quiet.

I just thought of it while I was pooping.

He knew we were making a fake video

and made one himself.

How did he know?

According to my sharp instinct

-A bug.

-A bug?

Yes.

That's right.

The bug wouldn't still be here.

You've been away for days

to look after Bong-yi.

So I'm sure he took it already.

But how would the m*rder*r

know where I live?

Come on. All it takes is to tail

Producer Choi and Detective Ko.

That's true.

You didn't go run your mouth, right?

Who do you think I am?

Did

Producer Choi.

It's not because one of us ran our mouth.

Think about it. It was only

two hours before we went on air

that we decided to go with it

and make the fake video.

We didn't have the time

to talk to anyone then.

Did he really plant a bug?

Kim Han-guk has been missing

for ten days since he was kidnapped

in an amusement park in Moojin.

Based on the video from the kidnapper,

the police are searching the vicinity

of Simjeon Station and his friend's house,

but no progress has been made.

He didn't even touch it.

If he keeps drinking on an empty stomach,

he could die of acute alcohol poisoning.

We must get him to eat.

What should I cook for him?

You are too kind.

He has no will to live.

Even if you cook for him, he won't eat.

I must get him to eat something.

What's this?

-This is it.

-What?

-This.

-What is it?

I forgot about this.

Detective Ko.

When we met at my place

to prepare for the broadcast,

you enjoyed japchae, right?

I didn't make that japchae.

Actually

Father brought it.

I lied because I was afraid

you wouldn't eat it.

I asked him why he made so much japchae,

and he told me it's your favorite food.

He wanted you to eat lots of it.

He also said that you don't like carrots

so he didn't put any carrots in.

This is the last batch.

Whether you eat it

or throw it out is up to you.

Father wouldn't want you to be like this.

Breaking news. The kidnapper sent

another footage of Kim Han-guk.

This is how Goat Man dies.

Where are you, Detective Ko?

Are you going to give up on Han-guk?

If you fail to find me within three days,

the entire nation will see

Han-guk's lungless body.

You have until midnight,

three days from today.

Han-guk.

ANOTHER PERSON WILL DIE

BECAUSE OF THAT INCOMPETENT DETECTIVE

The m*rder*r's called Detective Ko Moo-chi

to the public eye again.

The public has their attention

on whether Detective Ko

will overcome his trauma

of losing his brother and find Han-guk.

Slow down, or you'll get an upset stomach.

Mu-won.

It's a bit bland, right?

No matter how hard I try,

I can't make it as good as Mom's.

I'm sorry, Mu-won.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

It's not your fault.

Back then and even now,

it has never been your fault.

What are you doing?

What do you think?

I'm looking for my badge and my g*n.

-What? You resigned.

-It hasn't been finalized, though.

-You've been too busy to finalize it.

-Well, that's

Tell me when it's finalized.

I'll return them then.

Hey, you

Do you think I became a cop

to cover for you?

I'm sure this model has been discontinued.

You've taken great care of it.

You must be into cars.

The last call Mr. Kim Jun-seong made

before he died was with you.

You two used to talk every day

at least once.

Why didn't you call him for a week?

During our last call,

he told me that he was going on a trip.

So I thought he went overseas.

The only person who proved your alibi

in Dr. Lee's missing case was k*lled?

I told you that I was home that day.

So

You were home when Dr. Lee went missing,

and you were home

when Mr. Kim Jun-seong was k*lled.

You must be a homebody.

Yes, I'm an absolute homebody.

COLLEGE STUDENT JO MI-JEONG'S m*rder

What's this?

YONGMI-DONG GRAPE FARM

JO MI-JEONG CASE

Where did the old lady get this picture?

LIST OF EVIDENCE

There was no bag?

What are these?

-I know.

-Excuse me. I'm with the police

It's not like I can report her

for stealing yogurt drinks.

Welcome

Why are you going through

our fridge without permission?

Let me check your security camera.

You see, that old woman

came here looking for a job,

but I turned her away.

Who would hire an old grandma

as a housekeeper?

Why didn't you say so back then?

Why did you say she didn't come?

Well, she had left

when I came back from the restroom.

I'm not lying.

What time was that?

-Well, it was

-What time did she come here?

Run a check on the number I sent you.

Give me the address of the caller

between 4:10 and 4:20 p.m.

Hurry.

SINCERE CORRECTION

BRIGHT FUTURE

Officer Jung. What are you doing here?

We get a free pass, thanks to you.

What brings you here?

There's this CD

that Chi-guk often listened to.

I couldn't find it at home,

so I thought maybe it's here.

Oh, that? I know about it.

The jazz album

he'd listen to during breaks, right?

-You know about it?

-Yes.

Why are you looking for it?

I want to play it for Chi-guk.

Why?

It was his late father's.

His father loved the singer so much

that he recorded it

when the singer performed in Korea.

Chi-guk would wake right up

when he heard the song.

We thought it might help.

MOOJIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Thank you.

I think I've seen you before.

Do you?

I don't exactly have a unique face.

You know housekeeper agency

near Gudong Station?

Last Friday, on the 15th,

you called that place

between 4:10 p.m. and 4:20 p.m.

Yes, I needed a housekeeper.

But this is Gangcheon.

Why would you call an agency in Moojin?

Whom did you talk to?

It was an old lady.

Did she come here?

No.

There was a housekeeper

who used to work for us, but that day

One minute, please.

Bok-sil hasn't eaten yet.

I need to feed her first.

I've seen her before.

3,000,000 WON TRANSFERRED TO KO MOO-CHI

It's crape myrtle.

It symbolizes missing

someone who's departed.

My brother will die

if he doesn't get this surgery.

FROM SUNG JI-EUN

DEPOSIT 1,200,000 WON

That's Han Seo-jun's wife.

So she's been sending me money

every month since then.

Han Seo-jun.

I found your son.

Can I get the document

from Moojin Police Agency?

One moment, please.

FAMILY RELATION CERTIFICATE

She changed her name.

That's why I couldn't find her.

SUNG JIN-A

SON: SUNG YO-HAN

Sung Yo-han?

Hey, Shin. It's me.

Are you okay? I was worried

because you never answered my call.

You know,

have you looked into Sung Yo-han's family?

Kim Jun-seong has been m*rder*d.

-Sung Yo-han's friend.

-What?

He turned the place upside down.

Here you go.

Severe beating

seems to have taken place too.

It's as if he was tortured.

-Did you talk to Sung Yo-han?

-Yes.

He said he didn't

call Kim Jun-seong for a week

because he said he was going on a trip.

I confirmed he had a flight

to Switzerland the day after his death

and checked his suitcase.

I think that Kim Jun-seong

was planning to flee overseas

and the k*ller waited

for him here to k*ll him.

The estimated time of death

is 8:10 p.m. on the 28th.

Wait. At that time

I had a press conference that day.

It's the time that scumbag called me.

We've done a thorough investigation.

There wasn't a single link

among the victims.

Maybe among the victims

Sir, Sung Yo-han only has a mother.

She is a florist in Gangcheon.

-Her name is

-Sung Jin-a.

What? How did you know?

You like to be on TV, right?

What was that show where you said

the killings were random?

Find the reason why

I'll k*ll this boy and say it on the show.

Don't be drunk this time. Do it properly.

A person's life is at stake.

Find the reason why

I'll k*ll this boy and say it on the show.

If not, I will k*ll him

in front of the entire nation

when the broadcast ends.

Han Seo-jun.

He k*lled my mom and dad.

And you, his son, k*lled my brother?

Just you wait.

I will k*ll you

and k*ll your father in prison too.

If there aren't any suspects

among visitors,

that means it must be

one of the employees here.

That's nonsense.

Right. No one would do something

so reckless at their workplace.

I will talk

to Guard Na Chi-guk's co-workers.

Sure. This way, please.

Producer Choi.

Officer Jung. What are you doing here?

I'm here to get Chi-guk's thing.

-I see.

-Are you here to talk to people?

Yes. There isn't a suspect

among the visitors,

so I wanted to talk to the employees.

I see.

What about the visitors

who didn't sign in?

You can't enter

if you don't sign in first.

What? We got in without signing in.

We didn't have our ID with us,

so we came in Guard Kim's car.

That's because my car is registered here.

If a person comes in

through an employee's car,

their name might not be

on the visitor's log, right?

We check the ID card once more

in the visitation room,

but if you enter

through the employees' entrance,

your name might not be on the log.

Let's go over the list once more.

That's strange.

There was a visitor in the nurse's office.

Who?

When Guard Na was found

Guard Na is seriously hurt.

You need to come to the auditorium.

I'll be right there.

Someone must be hurt. I'll be right back.

I'll get going too. I need to get to work.

I'm sure someone was there.

Where is that doctor now?

MOOJIN DETENTION CENTER

TURNED OUT TO HAVE ADMITTED HIV PATIEN

Guard!

Guard

I can't breathe.

I quit doing this a long time ago.

How can you make me do this

when I'm trying to be a decent man?

You told me not to do this ever again

when you arrested me.

You're saving lives.

-Are you done?

-Yes.

Bye.

-It looks like a zip.

-It was found in the Ferris wheel.

Here.

You went in, didn't you?

-Where?

-This.

You brought it from there,

threw it in here, and called me.

-No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did.

Sung Yo-han isn't an idiot.

You think he'd throw away

crucial evidence here?

If you took this without a search warrant,

it won't be accepted in court.

Based on my knowledge of psychology

I didn't bring it out!

Just request a search warrant.

Sir, this is

You punk. What if Han-guk is in there?

What if Han-guk dies before we find him?

There's no time. We only have one day.

All right.

Fine.

Some culprits are so dumb they throw away

crucial evidence like this.

I guess he wanted to be caught.

Hey, Shin.

I mean, Detective Shin. Thanks.

If your father runs for president,

I'll vote for him.

Should I be thanking you?

Once I confirm that this is

Dr. Daniel Lee's blood,

I can get a search warrant.

Okay.

You seem to be fine.

Do you know Sung Yo-han?

What?

How do you know him?

Was he here that day?

I mean, the day the rookie was hurt.

How did you know?

Doctor.

I'm sorry to interrupt you,

but a visitor wants to see you.

Okay.

One moment, please.

Sung Ji-eun, that wench.

The day Guard Na Chi-guk was hurt

someone was here, right?

My friend from college was here.

He wanted to talk to me about something

and insisted on coming.

So I told him to come.

But he forgot to bring his ID card,

so I went to pick him up with my car

and came here together.

Why didn't you tell the police about him?

Well, it slipped my mind.

But there's no way

Yo-han could be the culprit.

Who?

Oh, his name is Sung Yo-han.

Sung Yo-han?

Sung Yo-han

Sung Yo-han. Didn't he operate on Chi-guk?

Yes, that's what I heard.

I'm scared.

I'm scared.

Detective Kang.

A visitor didn't sign in

on the day Chi-guk got hurt.

Detective Shin.

How's the search warrant coming along?

What? Not yet?

Damn it.

All right.

What is Producer Choi doing here?

A bug?

The bug wouldn't still be here.

You've been away for days,

so I'm sure he took it already.

I guess he threw it away.

When did you get here?

It was him? Sung Yo-han

And if you do find him?

Will you harass him

instead of Han Seo-jun?

Must you go that far?

His son doesn't deserve that.

Choi Hong-ju has known

about Sung Yo-han this whole time.

Is something wrong? You came unannounced.

I just wanted to see you.

Let's go downstairs.

Okay.

HUMAN GENETIC TESTING LABORATORY

-Drink this.

-Thanks.

Are you free tomorrow evening?

What?

Yes, I am.

Why? Is something wrong?

I'll tell you everything tomorrow.

Everything?

Okay.

One moment.

Are you okay, Detective Ko?

I'm busy right now

A search warrant

on the suspect has just been issued.

A search warrant?

Who's the suspect?

They're leaving in 30 minutes,

so if you want a scoop, come now.

I have to go.

I'm sorry. I'm a novice driver.

It's okay. You can go.

Come on.

I once did that

and was accused of a hit-and-run.

Please wait. I called the cops,

so they'll be here soon.

I told you it's okay.

-Hello.

-Hello.

I was careless and crashed into his car.

It's okay.

May I go now? I have an urgent business.

Sure.

Wait.

I heard something

from the passenger's seat.

I think it was a kid moaning.

A kid?

You should check it.

With everything going on

Okay.

What is that?

I'm on my way to do medical volunteering.

These are my clothes

and some medical supplies.

Can you open it up for us?

You're here for a car accident,

but you're asking me to open my suitcase?

As you know, the whole country

is in fear because of that m*rder*r.

-Please cooperate.

-No.

If you don't, you'll have to come

to the station with us.

She knew about Sung Yo-han all along?

Why aren't you answering your phone?

Sorry. It's out of battery.

-What about the search warrant?

-It was dismissed.

Dismissed? Why?

The blood on the shoe wasn't Dr. Lee's.

It isn't Dr. Lee's?

We compared it

to the other victims' blood too,

but there was no match.

Then whose blood is it?

There's no time.

Let's go and bring Han-guk out.

No.

What if Han-guk isn't there

and I'm wrong again?

I lost my brother

because of my recklessness.

If we move carelessly

and he catches wind of it,

he might k*ll Han-guk before time.

And if he gets rid of all evidence

before we save Han-guk,

even if we arrest him,

he'll get away with it.

Then what should we do?

The warrant was dismissed,

so there's no other option.

Once tomorrow comes

If we can't go in,

we'll make him bring Han-guk out.

What?

Hey, Producer Choi.

A search warrant

on the suspect has just been issued.

They're leaving in 30 minutes,

so if you want a scoop, come now.

What are you talking about?

Your girlfriend lives nearby, right?

Tell her to bring her car.

We'll stage a fender-bender.

Open it now.

You're dead meat once we save Han-guk.

Han Seo-jun.

I will k*ll your son,

and I will come and get you too.

Yes?

Han-guk isn't here.

What? He isn't?

Are you happy now?

I'm busy, so may I go now?

I think the noise came from the trunk.

Please open the trunk.

Please cooperate with us.

Are we done now?

What's going on here?

We don't have much time left.

Follow that car.

Follow his car!

What? You lost him?

Damn it.

Sir, I need you to track a car. Hurry.

The DNA we collected from the skin tissue

on the bandage isn't Han-guk's.

We are comparing it

to other victims' DNA just in case.

Why did you lie to me?

Why did you tell me

that the search warrant was issued?

You

You've known this whole time, didn't you?

You knew Sung Yo-han

was Han Seo-jun's son.

That's why you said

Han Seo-jun's son doesn't deserve that.

You knew, and you still

You

Do you know what kind of a scumbag he is?

What are you talking about?

What happened to Sung Yo-han's car?

-Did you find it?

-No, not yet.

There's no time.

We have to find it, or Han-guk will die.

Do you think we're slacking off?

We're all doing our best.

What's that?

Hey.

What's wrong with Mu-won's stomach?

These came out of his stomach?

The furious Mommy Goat

cut open the wolf's stomach,

took out her babies' bodies,

filled it back with rocks

and sewed it back up.

Those who aren't wrathful are sinners.

Father Ko Mu-won. I will judge you.

The time given to save Han-guk

has passed at midnight,

so the experts are assuming the worst.

The police failed to find

any lead on the kidnapper,

-and the case is still unsolved.

-It must be devastating.

We have the result.

Damn it.

All right.

The blood on Sung Yo-han's shoe

matches the DNA of the body

found in the ocean recently.

-It is him.

-What?

It is Sung Yo-han.

National Forensic Service just called.

The DNA on the Goat Man's bandage

matches Oh Bong-yi's grandmother's.

Go get a warrant.

You should've called.

What did you want to talk about?

What is it, son?

You knew, didn't you?

Know what?

That your son is a m*rder*r.

Bong-yi.

Ba-reum.

-Oh, my hands.

-I'm sorry.

Be careful.

This won't do. Hop on my back.

Why?

Just listen to me and come to my house.

-Ba-reum.

-Yes?

Never mind.

This isn't new

but bear with it just for tonight.

I'll wash it clean tomorrow.

I forgot to feed Eo-beong.

Then I'll bring him here

while I get your clothes too.

-Okay.

-I'll be right back.

Yes, Detective Kang?

Detective Ko? He isn't home?

What?

Bong-yi's grandmother's DNA

was found at the doctor's place?

-Search the area.

-Yes, sir.

The person you have dialed is unavailable.

Come on.

OH BONG-YI

Detective Ko.

He's here.

What?

Where are you?

Go up.

Ba-reum.

Ba-reum.

Go, Bong-yi.

No, come with me.

I'm going to get him with my own hands.

He k*lled your grandmother.

I'm going to get him.

But

Go call the police. Now!

Go.

Hurry.

Stop.

Detective Ko!

-Bong-yi.

-Detective Ko, hurry.

-Ba-reum is

-Where is he?

Detective Ko.

Finally, some quiet.

MOUSE

Kang Deok-su.

Do something like that again.

Or I'll k*ll you.

Don't you know

the Evidence Team members have g*ns?

You didn't find Han-guk?

I'm sure he switched cars here.

You won't be forgiven even after death.

Then send me more men.

I can't do all the work by myself.

Then you should recruit some.

Don't ever lose hope.
