Why?
Why did you do this again?
You said Soo Jung would be the last.
This is what you wanted.
What?
He said...
he'll start killing more people again soon.
He said it would never end here.
The story you made up actually happened.
Are you saying it's my fault?
You're saying you killed a person because of my lie 19 years ago?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Then, why?
I thought...
you'd come find me by saying so.
But 19 years passed! And why did you do that?
I haven't been hiding.
I've been put to a huge test so far instead.
So I punished her.
And I came to think of you.
You punished?
So do you think you punished the victims... by killing them?
Not at all.
They were blessed instead.
They were scared when I chose them,
but at the last moment,
they were happy.
I freed them from their feeble bodies...
and saved from their painful lives.
Then on what standard did you choose your victims?
The darkness inside them.
They were all young and beautiful...
but unhappy.
Unhappy?
Then why did you choose Soo Jung instead of me?
She was more cheerful and happier than anyone!
Why on earth did you choose her, not me?
I can see things you can't see with your eyes.
The truth and falsehood.
Do you remember... the faces of all the victims?
Of course.
They are still with me inside my heart.
Inside me, they're desperately waiting...
for the miraculous day... of revival so that they can enjoy... eternal youth without pain.
So I invited you and waited for you.
To show a miracle to you...
that has remembered me and looked for me desperately.
You deserve to be a witness.
But you're not listening to me.
No. Stop!
I am listening to you.
Your story...
Prove it to me.
If what you're saying is right,
save me from pain.
Stop.
I'm sorry...
but I can't let you have the blessing of revival.
You're invited here as a witness.
Witness the miracle of my resurrection...
and testify it to the world.
Please.
Let go.
You'll also fall down then.
Please!
You can't revive because you don't have the marks for resurrection.
Let go!
Will Soo Jung...
revive?
Sorry...
but she doesn't meet the qualifications.
Qualifications?
What qualifications?
Let go of me.
You should live...
and be a witness to my miracle.
Stop speaking!
My lamb that's been lost in the world.
My apostle and my child!
I give you... the blessing of faith with my resurrection!
Ms. Cha.
Breathe.
Breathe, please!
Come on!
Not yet!
You can't die yet!
You can't die yet.
Please stop. He's dead already.
Ms. Cha!
Ms. Cha, get yourself together.
Are your hands injured?
Young Jin!
Did you watch the news? The stigmata murder happened again.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Ms. Cha.
Cha Young Jin!
What happened?
I'll be your witness as you said.
The witness of your evil deeds.
Call for an investigation team. It's a murder.
Sorry?
The ninth victim...
of the stigmata serial murder case was found.
(New Life Gospel)
Eun Ho.
Your righteous deed today...
will come back as a huge reward in the near future.
But all I can give you now is...
this.
It's okay.
Take it.
Eun Ho.
This is as precious as my life which you've saved today.
Keep this safe until I get it back from you.
Then I'll repay for your kindness.
It won't take long.
I promise.
Take it.
(New Life Gospel)
(New Life Church)
(New Life Gospel)
- Isn't it that guy? - Who?
The guy we saw earlier!
I was going to kill you,
but you didn't meet the requirements I set.
So I killed her instead.
This is what you wanted.
(Senior Inspector Cha Young Jin)
We should handle this well.
People could think that Detective Cha's...
investigation could have stopped the victim's death.
Why did that lunatic send this to Detective Cha?
He probably wanted to show off.
He even forewarned Detective Hwang of his murder.
I mean, why did it have to be Detective Cha?
Could he have been watching her?
If he was watching the families,
he must have known about Detective Cha too.
I don't know how he got his hands on her card though.
It's Seo Sang Won's DNA.
I already asked National Forensic Service for help.
Yes.ش
Why aren't you leaving?
Are you okay?
Drive safely.
Yes.
You may go in now.
Let's go.
(Senior Inspector Cha Young Jin)
Over ten minutes passed from when Detective Cha came up... and to the time he fell off.
What would they have talked about in the meantime?
You just heard.
Salvation, miracle, and resurrection.
Then he fell.
She should have waited for Jae Hong.
Maybe he jumped before that.
Exactly.
Then she'd have nothing on her.
Let's go.
It's strange.
What is?
The person downstairs said that he saw a woman walk up there alone.
He said he sometimes bumped into her on the stairs.
If she's the victim...
She must be Seo Sang Won's acquaintance.
But she's got no belongings.
Wouldn't they be in her car if she has one?
Even so,
people usually carry their phones.
We'll find out when we check the security cameras.
We have the victim's identity.
(Lim Hee Jung)
(Family, Mother: Lim Suk Hee)
She's got no family.
(Deceased)
I've been put to a huge test so far instead.
So I punished her.
This person...
must have known Seo Sang Won for a very long time.
Aren't you getting in?
I'm going to the hospital.
Let's go.
They were blessed instead.
(The 8th Stigmata Serial Murder Case Investigation Report)
I requested a transfer to the division of child and youth.
Pardon?
My wife is having a hard time.
I decided to stop chasing him too.
It's been almost 20 years.
He finished what he planned...
as he said in the end.
No.
He said he'd never do it again.
What do you mean?
He said Soo Jung would be his last.
I lied to you.
I made up my mind to find him even if it'd take my whole life.
But...
he grinned and said I could never find him.
I couldn't stand it at the moment. I was worried he might be right.
So...
you lied so that you can provoke him and bring him out?
I'm sorry.
Are you going to make me keep talking to the top of your head?
Let's say you lied at first.
But you've kept it even from me the whole time.
It really is shocking.
I'm disappointed, but don't be sorry.
You couldn't give up for a long time because of that lie.
It was my case. I was responsible for it.
It was you who suffered because of that lie, not me.
It made the culprit watch you until the end.
He tried to ridicule you in the end.
It could've been horrible.
Young Jin.
Yes.
It's all over now.
Tell your colleagues that you were Soo Jung's best friend.
They will make me take my hands off of the case if I do.
It's a matter of time everything will be revealed.
You don't know what danger awaits as it reaches to the end.
You could get hurt badly.
I don't care. You know why... I became a cop.
I need to put an end to this myself.
Sun Woo.
Let's have a drink.
Sure.
What are you looking at?
Hey.
Why don't you have another child?
It's not that you'll raise them for us.
I'll take care of them if something happens to you two.
That's a must. Why do you sound as if you're doing a favor?
Aren't you going to drink?
- I will. - Are you done?
- Do you make all these? - When you take lessons,
they tell you what's delicious.
(Class 2-2, Hwang Hyun Jung)
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Lee. This is Hyun Jung.
Yes, Hyun Jung. What's up?
I think you need to know what happened in school today.
Did something happen?
Well, Joo Dong Myung from Class 2-1...
threw books at Lee Dong Hyun and Yoon Jun Yeol to scare them.
Did anyone get hurt?
No.
Do you know why he did that?
Because of Eun Ho.
I see.
- Goodness. - I'm so drunk.
Why did you drink so much?
Gosh, let go of me.
- Wait, your shoes. - I can go inside alone.
Did we wake you up?
I wasn't sleeping.
It's my son.
My handsome,
smart,
and kind son.
Have a seat.
Let go.
He doesn't take after his dad at all.
Neither me, fortunately.
I'm sure I labored to have him,
but he's so refined unlike me.
Is that why you look down on me?
Stop it.
See?
You don't want to deal with me even now.
You've been like this since you were little.
You saw all the dirty sides of me,
but you were always nice and well-behaved.
But the more you do that,
the worse mom I become!
Why do you look down on me? Why?
This is enough.
Go back to your room.
- Do you know that? - Stop it.
- Why do you look down on me? - Goodness.
- Why is that? Why? - Stop it already.
- Why? - Enough.
- Why do you look down on me? - Goodness.
Hey, come over here.
I'm leaving.
- Goodbye. - See you.
Are you keeping it safe?
Yes.
Good. Make sure you lock the door.
Let their homeroom teacher know...
and leave it up to the student department.
The kids in Sun Woo's class were threatened, but not wounded.
But the boy got hit by the books they threw.
They just made a mistake while getting playful.
I'll ask Eun Ho first.
Eun Ho?
Didn't he visit our house the other day?
Right.
What is this about?
I told you.
Ji Won and Sun Woo went to play soccer...
and ran into one of his students.
His name was Eun Ho.
He seemed so polite and decent.
Maybe he was bullied by mean kids.
Anyway,
I'm glad the assailants aren't from your class this time.
Gosh, why would you bring that up again?
It's okay.
And don't worry.
That incident...
made me realize...
that a teacher has to keep a distance from their students.
I've been doing that ever since then.
Let's have a toast.
(Will 100 dollars be okay?)
(Just come out. I'm waiting in front of your house.)
(When...)
(When are you going to give it to me?)
(Dong Myung)
(Just give it to me quickly. I'll take care of it.)
Where are we going?
Get some rest at home until morning.
No, I can sleep in the office.
But you need to get changed.
Are you keeping it safe?
What if it dies because of me?
It's okay because you're a child.
Even if you make a mistake or do something wrong,
it's okay for now.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Ms. Cha.
Did something happen?
Ms. Cha.
You see, I...
Did you get hurt?
No.
Go on.
Is your mom's boyfriend at home?
Yes.
I see.
Whose blood is that?
It's open again.
He was alive.
Did you catch him?
I caught him,
but I lost him.
If I had found him a day earlier...
What happened is not your fault.
I know.
I know, but...
I don't know how to say this,
but you still found the culprit.
So it's all good.
Now you can empty that room.
Also, it's time for you to replace the wallpapers here.
I couldn't help you when you were filling that room up,
but I'll help you empty it.
Good morning, sir.
What brings you here?
Do you know this person?
Are you not going to tell me what it's about again?
You know her, don't you?
Give me her number.
I need to know what happened to cooperate with you.
She's a victim of a murder case.
Now you know, tell me her number.
The number you have called is unavailable. Your call will be...
It's turned off.
Both Lim Hee Jung and Seo Sang Won don't have a family.
What was their relationship?
Is Seo Sang Won the culprit?
I can't tell you yet.
I don't know.
It's a murder case.
I'm telling the truth.
I'm not a deity. How would I know everything between the two?
Also, Seo Sang Won has cut his ties with our church long ago.
But you had his number and address on your phone.
Even if you're the police,
you can't take an innocent citizen's time forever.
If you need help, make a formal request.
Now, get off the car.
If you're uncooperative,
I have to poke around at New Life Church.
Are you threatening me?
I'm just telling you my plan.
I'm worried you'll hurt yourself...
by your reckless act.
Are you serious?
Why don't you close the door now?
It's the NFS.
Hello.
Yes, thank you.
The 3 DNA found at the 3 crime scenes and Seo Sang Won's DNA match.
He really was the culprit of the Stigmata Murder Case.
Go back to the office first and tell the bereaved families.
Okay. What about you?
I have somewhere I need to go.
Where are you going?
Nearby here, the last case...
I mean...
the family of the eighth victim lives nearby.
I want to tell her in person.
Should I drop you off?
No, it's close by.
Can I see you now?
Ms. Lim Hee Jung died.
What?
How did that happen?
She was murdered.
Well, please come to school.
Right.
Who called at this early hour?
It was the Secretary-General of the church.
What time is he coming?
- Why? - So that I can avoid him.
He's the type I detest.
You're going to make a mistake one day.
That's why I'm going to avoid him.
Why don't you eat one more spoonful, Ji Won?
It's not good.
Goodness, is it not good?
Then...
you should skip ropes with me from tomorrow, so it tastes good.
Ji Won, you're in trouble. You'll have to wake up early now.
No.
- No? - No.
Gosh, you eat so well. Eat up.
Great.
(Soo Jung's Mother)
Ma'am.
I'm in front of Soo Min's house.
Young Jin.
What brings you here at this time of the day...
Did you...
find him?
Yes.
I found him.
Oh, my gosh.
Soo Jung.
Young Jin.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Why?
What?
Did you lose him?
I couldn't save him.
Did he die?
Let's eat.
You look like you were up all night.
You should eat well at least.
Come on.
Even if your child dies, you get hungry and sleepy.
It's really sorrowful,
but I thought life is no big deal.
I ate and sleep.
That's how I lived on.
But I've never in peace for a day.
Did you hear anything about Soo Jung from that man?
Will Soo Jung revive?
Sorry...
but she doesn't meet the qualifications.
No.
If that guy had survived,
although he would have been in prison,
he would have eaten and slept.
He would've lived like us.
Whether you lost his hands...
or you let go of them,
you've done well.
Young Jin, you've done well.
I'm sorry.
(Senior Inspector Cha Young Jin)
She was looking for Seo Sang Won yesterday,
and today, she said Lim Hee Jung was murdered.
Pastor Seo must have done it.
Yes, probably.
They have both the victim and the murderer at the same time.
All kinds of press will dig into it.
Then they'll be talking about stuff not related to the case.
Did you tell them Lim Hee Jung was the director of our foundation?
No.
I thought you'd need some time to prepare, so I kept my mouth shut.
And recently,
I heard you and Lim Hee Jung had differences in opinion.
That was unnecessary.
It's a murder case.
There won't be much for me to prepare.
We're here.
Right.
The limited edition of Avengers will be delivered today.
When do you want to open it?
Min Sung, is there a problem?
It's all right. Tell me. Maybe I can help.
I'm being threatened.
What?
Eun Ho.
- Hello. - Do you want something to drink?
- I'm fine. - It's okay. Pick one.
Come on.
I'll have this one.
- This one? - Yes.
- Here. - Thank you.
Eun Ho.
Can we talk for a minute?
Yes.
Dong Myung never bullied me.
- Really? - Yes.
So Dong Myung behaved that way... just because you two are close?
Yes.
Then did he ever...
ask for money, clothes, or shoes?
No.
I'll ask you one last question.
Can I really believe your words?
Yes.
Fine. All right.
- Can I go now? - Yes.
You should have told me earlier.
Didn't I tell you to tell me any trouble you have?
It's all right. Don't you worry now.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I know how to handle these little kids.
But I heard Eun Ho and you were close in elementary school.
That's all right. Why would join that?
- What is it? - Just a moment.
It's...
What are you doing?
You can't park your car this way in school.
Is he a teacher?
Just go.
Min Sung just saved your life.
Hey, Min Sung!
Is that your father?
He's my driver.
Is he?
You two behave exactly the same.
Oh, you're Ha Min Sung.
Get off.
You're irritating.
You too!
Hello?
That little...
Yes, Vice-principal.
Yes, I'm inside the school.
I'll return after I prepare something.
This just in.
The main suspect of the worst unsolved case in Korea,
the stigmata serial murder case,
had died during his arrest.
Special Crime Squad of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency...
specified the suspect at six p.m. and chased him.
They officially announced that the suspect had killed himself.
We've tested Seo Sang Won's DNA after he committed suicide.
His DNA matched the DNA found on the scenes of the 2nd, 5th, and 8th...
the Stigmata Serial Murder Case.
We've failed to specify the suspect earlier and prevent another murder.
We deeply apologize.
It's also painful that we've failed to prevent the culprit's suicide.
But for the last 20 years,
the police have never quit in pursuing the suspect.
And no one could have stopped the suspect from killing himself.
So please understand.
Although the suspect is dead, we will keep tracing his past...
to reveal the whole story of the case.
What is going on?
(Special Crime Squad, Detective Cha Young Jin)
Yes.
That's right.
It's him.
If you'd told me about the situation this morning,
it would have been easier.
We've clearly told you that it was a murder.
It was before we received the DNA test result.
Are you still unaware of the relationship of the two?
They were both...
close acquaintances of Pastor Kwon Jae Chun...
who founded our church.
Didn't you say it's been a while since he quit the church?
That's right.
He suddenly quit being in ministry.
But Pastor Kwon kept had taken care of him to the end.
- Who's Pastor Kwon? - He passed away not long ago.
When did Seo Sang Won quit being a pastor?
I don't know the exact date.
Wasn't it after August of 2000?
I'm not a computer. How would I remember that?
- There must be records. - We don't keep such old records.
(Personnel record, Lim Hee Jung)
The Shinsung Foundation here...
Is this...
the owner of Shinsung Middle School?
Yes.
And our church runs Shinsung Foundation.

(The culprit of the stigmata murder case leaped to his death)
(Seo, the culprit of the stigmata case killed himself, making...)
All students are required to gather at the gym now.
Again,
all students are required to gather at the gym now.
Class 2-2, Ko Eun Ho.
Ko Eun Ho, please step forward.
We just got a call from 119 Rescue Center.
Yesterday,
Eun Ho performed CPR to an unconscious person...
and saved a valuable life.
Let's give it up.
You've done a great job.
Is it Ko Eun Ho of Class 2-2?
I'm here to give you the award.
Make a bow.
let's listen to a few words from our welcome visitor.
For a very long time,
he's been supporting our school's facilities and scholarships.
It's Chairman Baek Sang Ho of New Life Foundation.
Let's greet him with applause.
Good.
Eun Ho.
You're great.
We met again.
You two are in the same class.
Hello.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Good.
It's nice to see you.
I'm Chairman Baek Sang Ho of New Life Foundation.
Here at the Shinsung Middle School,
I've seen... light and darkness today.
Everyone,
do you know what differentiates humans from animals?
You don't?
As for animals, the strong prey upon the weak.
So the babies are the first to get killed.
We may feel bad for it,
but we don't say it's wrong because that's their nature.
But as for humans,
the strong protect the weak.
That's humans.
So I wanted to be strong.
To live a life of protecting the weak.
And...
I've become strong.
Gosh, stop.
I'll stop here.
Thank you.
- Please have tea before you go. - That'd be great.
Drink this.
As expected.
I feel much comfortable as we've known for a long time.
Oh, right.
Did my speech go overboard today?
It was fun.
It was my first time seeing the kids concentrate like that.
I liked the message too.
I saw Sun Woo, but I didn't get to say hi.
Tell him I want to dine with him soon.
Okay.
(Chairman Yoon Hee Seob)
That desk.
It's right, isn't it?
- Sun Woo's father used this. - Right.
When will Sun Woo get to sit here?
I'm not sure.
He isn't experienced enough to run the foundation yet.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Yes?
Seo Sang Won is dead too.
What?
Did he commit the crime and kill himself?
Yes, but the thing is, he didn't kill just one person.
- What? - He is...
the culprit of the stigmata serial murder case.
Okay.
What is it about?
It seems...
New Life Church and its foundations...
will become a hot issue to the public.
What?
Ms. Cha.
The last signal from her phone was made at Seo Sang Won's house.
But it wasn't at the crime scene.
What about the time and date of the signal?
It was the 28th when Lim Hee Jung was murdered.
And the time is before he filmed the video that he sent to you.
How did this happen?
Seo Sang Won came outside the house and threw it out.
Or he threw it outside from his house.
Anything else?
There was another person?
(New Life Gospel)
(Shinsung Middle School)
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you eating all right?
Tell me if you need help. I'll send Ms. Yoon to you.
It's okay.
Fulfilling our duties in our own positions...
is the best way to help each other, I believe.
What if those positions are wrong in the first place?
The victim's phone went missing.
The last signal disappeared before she was murdered...
at the crime site. What are the possibilities?
Four.
Not three?
He went outside the house and threw it out.
He threw it out from the house.
There was another person.
And...
you took it.
I'm sorry for not recognizing you.
This is how competent our youngest member is.
I'll ask for your help if needed.
For sure.
"I wanted to be strong."
"And..."
"I've become strong."
Are you keeping it safe?
Just if...
something bad happens to me,
I wish you don't know.
How can I not know when something happens to you?
(Eighth victim, Choi Soo Jung)
(Statute of limitations, abolished)
(Ninth victim of the stigmata case)
(Lim Hee Jung)
(Seo Sang Won)
(Kwon Jae Chun)
Ms. Cha.
- You're here. - Yes.
You two must write a report first.
Especially, Ms. Cha. Explain why you didn't wait for Mr. Lee...
and why your fingerprints were found on the awl,
and the detailed conversation you had with the culprit... to stop his suicide.
We will soon announce to the public that he sent you the crime video.
It's an order from the boss.
We must be aware of what happened precisely to choose our stance...
and to decide how to respond in the future.
I understand.
Okay. Keep up the good work.
Ms. Cha.
Are you going to write that you handcuffed the body?
Don't mind me and write what you saw.
Everything is over now.
Tell your colleagues that you were Soo Jung's best friend.
- Detective Lee. - Yes.
(Eun Ho)
- It's nothing. Continue. - Okay.
Hey.
Now?
(Ko Eun Ho)
- Why did you come? - Did you have dinner?
- What about you? - I did.
Did something happen?
I have something I'd like to tell you.
Give me one second.
Yes.
Congratulations on finding the culprit.
So I thought I shouldn't tell you.
What is it?
It's about the card analysis of the first case.
Right. What was the result?
There were five DNAs.
Among them, two are female.
It's probably the victim's mother and her sister.
What about the rest? Does it match Seo Sang Won's?
No.
What about the stuffed angel toy?
It was on it.
I knew it.
Thank you.
Ms. Cha.
Oh, sorry.
What were you saying?
I got an award for good conduct.
Did you come here to tell me that?
You wouldn't know if I don't tell you.
See you later.
Let's eat something nice soon.
Thank you for your concern,
but how can I not know if something happens to you?
You don't know.
You don't know anything.
(Autopsy Report)
(Case Report)
- It matches the autopsy report. - Yes.
But one evidence is missing.
The clothing you were wearing on the day of the incident.
They were blessed instead.
Sorry but she doesn't meet the qualifications.
So I punished her.
You can't revive because you don't have the marks for resurrection.
Marks for resurrection.
It's the same mark.
Blessed.
Why are they different?
Eun Ho, what were you doing there?
Are there students who bully Eun Ho at school?
As long as I know, there's none.
- Hey. - Dong Myung.
How did you know that place?
I must know what happened to Eun Ho.
Do you think what happened to Eun Ho is a crime?
I hope so.
It's less painful than him jumping off this building himself.
There is a sign of assault on Eun Ho's body.
Let me check the outside security cameras.
They keep saying Eun Ho killed himself.
I'll show them they're wrong.
