If I had answered her phone calls,
she might've not been killed.
The eighth victim with stigmata was found in Pyeongchang, Gangwon.
The police never gave up on the Stigmata Serial Murder Case.
If something bad happens to me,
I wish you don't know.
What do you mean?
Eun Ho saved a valuable life yesterday.
You saved my life.
Until I saw this, I had forgotten...
that I encountered a strange man... on the streets a few days before my sister died.
New Life Church...
What is the name of that pastor?
Seo Sang Won.
I haven't been hiding.
Su Jung was more cheerful and happier than anyone!
Why on earth did you choose her, not me?
Witness the miracle of my resurrection...
and testify it to the world.
The ninth victim...
of the stigmata serial murder case was found.
Are you keeping it safe?
What are you doing here at this hour?
- Did something happen? - You see, I...
Did you get hurt?
Go on.
How can I not know if something happens to you?
You don't know. You don't know anything.
(23 hours ago)
Did something happen?
I have something I'd like to tell you.
Give me one second.
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.
(Shinsung Middle School)
(Be careful of voice phishing that offers high-paid jobs)
Would he have had breakfast?
Where is he?
Dong Myung!
I almost forgot your voice.
Get off.
Can I go now?
Let me see what you've just put in your bag.
- No. - Open it.
You don't have the right to make me do so.
It's not about my right but my duty.
I'm your teacher.
I can't just turn a blind eye and let it slide...
without asking what you were doing here at this hour.
Open it.
It's a pair of sneakers.
I didn't like it so I gave it to him.
Show him.
Or we'll only cause a misunderstanding.
Can I go now?
Go.
Eun Ho, did you really give it to him?
Yes.
You should be honest with me so that I can help you.
My mom's boyfriend bought me that pair of sneakers.
I didn't want it, but I couldn't throw it away.
So I gave it to Dong Myung.
Okay. Go.
It matches the inspection result. But one evidence is missing.
The clothing you were wearing on the day of the incident.
Okay.
Meet me outside after school.
The end-day meeting begins.
What's wrong with him?
Mr. Lee, let us go home!
- You all checked this, right? - Yes!
Go home safely.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
- See you tomorrow! - Goodbye.
Hey.
How dare you look me straight in the eye?
Hey.
What are you to bother Min Sung, you punk?
He trusted you as a friend and told you everything.
And you threatened him, saying you'll tell on him... if he doesn't turn himself in?
I gave him a chance.
What?
Because we were friends.
If he's your friend, you should keep it quiet.
Hey, stay on the floor.
You're hopeless.
I'll teach you what real friends do for each other today.
I couldn't help you when you were filling that room up,
but I'll help you empty it.
They were blessed instead.
Sorry but she doesn't meet the qualifications.
So I punished her.
Please.
Please!
You can't revive because you don't have the marks for resurrection.
Marks of resurrection?
It's the same mark.
Blessed.
Why are they different?
(Eun Ho)
Yes.
Hello?
Eun Ho?
Eun Ho.
(Eun Ho)
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
- Yes. - Where are you?
Why?
I got the itinerary of the national tour...
of New Life Church Revival Service where Seo Sang Won was.
I'll get there right now.
These are the itineraries from 1998 to 2000.
Did you confirm them?
Yes, there were 64 services,
and the location and time of eight murders are included.
There's no misunderstanding, right?
Mr. Han wants us to close it in a month.
A month? We'll finish it in two weeks.
The journalists will dig into the stories of the murderer.
Did you interrogate the testifier?
The church and the foundation both agreed to set the schedule.
What are you doing with the foundation?
This isn't even related to Seo Sang Won.
What are you trying to find out when we know who the murderer is?
The reason he punished Lim Hee Jung and he left the mark...
for resurrection on the victims' hands, saying it's punishment.
He's just a psychopath who had a relapse. Didn't you know?
If you're going to meet them,
why don't you investigate the chairman?
He was on the phone with Lim Hee Jung recently.
If you see here, the green ones are... Yoon Hee Seob's number.
(Call History)
They often talked on the phone even at dawn.
Detective Cha, do I take this to the NFS?
- Yes, thank you. - Yes.
(Sinsa-dong, Galhyeon-dong, and Jeongneung-dong)
(Shinsung Foundation)
Sun Woo.
I'm not going on a blind date.
Wait, isn't that why you called me here?
Stigmata Serial Murder Case.
The church is very busy.
Sure it is.
Both the murderer and the victim went to that church.
Hee Seob.
I remember what kind of person... Seo Sang Won was.
He always had a benevolent smile, and he adored the children.
He often bought us presents.
The kids really liked him.
But...
he went and brutally killed those women...
with the hands that he used to stroke the children's heads.
Even in a horrific way.
Anyway, is that what you wanted to tell me?
The recent victim is Lim Hee Jung.
What?
The church promised to cooperate with the police,
and the press will not reveal anything about the victim in return.
But it won't last that long.
Then the foundation will be at risk.
Soon, I'll be interrogated as a testifier.
You? Why?
It's a mere formality.
It doesn't have to be you.
I have to do it if we're doing it.
Or it could cause unnecessary noises.
You opposed to appointing her as the director.
But Father pushed ahead.
She was influential in the church.
Don't mind it too much.
It'll be over soon.
I just wanted to let you know.
The school is going to be unsettled.
So don't cause any trouble and stay low.
All right.
Good.
(Shinsung Middle School)
(11th Shinsung Essay Contest Awards Ceremony)
(Eun Ho)
Yes.
Hello?
Eun Ho?
Eun Ho.
If you get this, please call me back anytime.
(Ko Eun Ho)
The guardian of Ko Eun Ho from Shinsung Middle School,
please come to the front desk now.
Again,
the guardian of Ko Eun Ho from Shinsung Middle School,
please come to the front desk now.
Move.
Is he alive?
- Yes, who is it? - Go.
He's in charge of the hotel.
- You can go. - Now!
(Night Duty Room)
(Ko Eun Ho, Mother)
Take it.
Don't tell me what to do.
(School Office)
At this hour?
Yes, this is Lee Sun Woo.
Pardon?
Is...
Is he...
alive?
He fell from the rooftop,
but the shock was mitigated because of the car.
Doctor.
Please save his life.
I'll do my best,
- but I can't guarantee it. - No.
You have to do more than your best.
- What about the hotel? - The police are on it.
What about the child's mom?
- Her phone is turned off. - Darn it!
His homeroom teacher is on his way here from school.
Okay.
(Under Operation)
(Restricted Area)
Hey, Sun Woo. What are you doing here?
What? Are you the homeroom teacher?
Yes.
Did you see Eun Ho?
How is his condition?
He fell from a building that high, but he seemed like he was asleep...
when the car was smashed to pieces.
(Senior Inspector Cha Young Jin)
Why are you looking at that video?
I wonder where he got my business card from...
when he lived in seclusion.
It didn't even have my fingerprints.
I'm sure he got rid of them.
He sent me the video and the address too.
So why?
You didn't have dinner, did you? Let's go out.
This thought doesn't get out of my mind.
It's the sign of resurrection,
so why did he leave it on Ms. Lim who was targeted for punishment?
Unlike the other victims,
why did he say Soo Jung didn't meet the qualifications?
Want a drink?
You've started to have these suspicions.
But the answers are only in Seo Sang Won's head.
Now that he's dead, there's no way to find out.
Even if he'd been alive,
you wouldn't have gotten your answers unless he was willing to talk.
Excuse me.
Oh, Ms. Yoon. Who are you here with?
I'm alone.
I've been here for some time.
Yes, I heard it all.
Allow me to join your table.
You were close to the victim.
You also answered the murderer's calls yourself.
And you didn't report the whole conversation with him.
All these can be regarded as neglect of duty.
You have to give up your investigative duty and title.
But I will stay quiet.
Instead,
let me join you for the rest of the investigation.
Why is that?
The culprit was caught already.
I've heard it all.
You're thinking of the possibility...
of copycat crime or accomplice.
Ms. Hong once described you...
as a lucky detective with a lot of cases.
You shouldn't call that lucky.
Then, let's call it an opportunity.
Give me an opportunity.
Enough now.
I'll reveal it all instead.
This will be my last case.
- What? - What?
Help me so that I can put an end... to this myself.
The culprit mentioned Choi Soo Jung didn't deserve to resurrect.
Then it might be his problem, not the victim's.
If he were deluded...
that people could resurrect only through him.
The wound was made...
- by someone else, not Seo Sang Won? - Hey.
- It's getting late. Let's go now. - If...
another culprit exists,
he wouldn't be a copycat.
Why?
Seo Sang Won was in the neighborhood when the eighth murder happened.
Besides,
he knew what we talked about 19 years ago.
Then could it be an accomplice?
Maybe Lim Hee Jung was an accomplice.
They shared a huge secret, but things went wrong.
And he ended up killing her.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
You said...
the stigmata murder case would be your last case.
You didn't mean it, did you?
I meant it.
Ever since I became a detective, I felt like...
I was watching others' misfortunes through a microscope.
Once I fulfill the purpose of becoming a detective,
I will quit.
Don't just look at people's misfortunes.
Look at the hope that still remains. That's our job.
Protecting that feeble hope of the victimized.
I told you to give up the stigmata case for your own sake.
I never told you to give up being a detective.
Stop nagging.
Be grateful.
Who else would nag you like this?
- I have someone. - Who?
Eun Ho.
You must be happy to have him there to rely on.
He's passed one crisis.
He's good for now.
Is there anyone else to reach other than his mom?
No. She's his only guardian.
If he hadn't been wearing the school uniform,
he would've had no one by his side now.
This kid is wonderful.
Even a dozen people like you and I are nothing compared to him.
He's a nice kid.
No. It's not because he's nice.
Sir. We've secured a VIP ward.
You've done a great job.
What about his mom?
- Is she still not here? - No.
What are the police doing?
Should I go to his house and check?
No.
I'll go.
I'm his homeroom teacher, after all. I should go.
His mother must be so worried.
Will you?
(Ko Eun Ho)
The phone is turned off.
Excuse me.
Is anyone there?
(Ko Eun Ho's mother)
The phone is turned off.
Let's go.
He takes after his mom.
Hello.
- Who are you? - I'm Eun Ho's homeroom teacher.
Eun Ho got into an accident and is currently at a hospital.
Some novelist once said:
"Children grow..."
"even if you force them down."
Whether their parents cherish them or not,
children become adults in the end.
As long as they're alive...
and only if they manage to survive.
His mother is here.
Where?
Eun Ho.
Why is my son...
What do I do?
- Ma'am. - Goodness.
Why do you trouble me so much?
- Why? - Ma'am.
What did I do so wrong to deserve this?
- Poor Eun Ho. - Ma'am.
Thankfully, the chairman of the hotel...
remembered Eun Ho's name when he got the good conduct award,
so he was able to accompany him to the hospital,
and Eun Ho could get the surgery right away.
Are you listening to me?
He came to see me at work...
to tell me he got a good conduct award.
He came,
but I didn't ask him why he got the award.
If I had told him that he did a good job...
I didn't.
I just let him leave.
Eun Ho...
saved someone's life.
Apparently, he conducted CPR...
on a person lying on the streets until the ambulance came.
(VIP 602, Ko E** Ho)
All the expenses will be paid by Chairman Baek...
until your son gets discharged from the hospital.
So all you have to worry about is your son's recovery.
Sir.
I'll take care of Eun Ho from now.
Because we neglected safety management,
something unfortunate happened to Eun Ho.
We're nearly there.
- What? - We'll be arriving shortly.
Right.
Can I have your number?
I think you already have it.
Hold on a second.
- Yes. - Where are you?
I'm almost at the hospital.
I moved Eun Ho to the VIP room on the sixth floor. Come over here.
Thankfully, his mom arrived, so I'm on my way home.
What?
What are you talking about? Who has arrived?
I got it. I'll call you back. Okay.
What's going on?
- Is Eun Ho in critical... - No.
Eun Ho is fine.
Who are you?
Who are you...
to pretend to be his mother?
You must have misunderstood.
I was so flustered after hearing about Eun Ho... that I didn't tell you who I was.
Did I misunderstand?
You definitely told me...
Sir.
You didn't ask me if I was his mother,
and I never told you that I was his mother.
Then why did you ask me who I was in front of his house?
Because I live on the upper floor.
I had to go past his house.
Because I couldn't reach him, I was anxious.
So when I saw a strange man in front of his house,
I had to ask who he was.
I'm sorry.
I think I misunderstood.
I saw you two a few days ago.
You guys looked so alike, so I mistook you for his mother.
I'm sorry.
So you live...
- upstairs... - Ms. Cha.
Eun Ho calls me that.
Let's hurry, or I'll get off here.
Yes.
Who are you?
Hello, Ma'am. I meet you for the first time.
I'm Eun Ho's homeroom teacher.
Oh...
How could something so terrible happen to us?
Come in.
How did you know about this?
I went to see you, and I bumped into her in front of your house.
So we came together.
I'm sorry I was out.
It's fine. I'm glad we got hold of you.
Let me see Eun Ho.
Ma'am.
Can I talk to you outside?
Sure.
Just if...
something bad happens to me,
I wish you don't know.
Thank you for your concern,
but how can I not know if something happens to you?
I told you.
How could I not know?
Eun Ho.
Why were you in a place like that?
What happened to you?
She lives on the upper floor,
and I came with her because she said she was close to Eun Ho.
Did I make a mistake?
It's okay.
I don't really know what kind of person she is,
but Eun Ho's been close to her since he was little.
Although she seems a bit odd in my eyes,
she's the police.
I just thought she was not a weird person.
By the way,
what kind of person is Chairman Baek Sang Ho?
We've known each other since we were kids.
Well, he's a good person.
He funds the school for kids.
When Eun Ho received the good conduct award,
he was on the site.
He thought highly of Eun Ho.
A good conduct award?
Didn't you know?
No.
Eun Ho is very quiet at home.
He's very quiet at school too.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Right now?
Okay.
It's the police. They're at the ward.
Inspector Cha. I mean Senior Inspector Cha.
Since you know this kid very well, I'll take a good look.
What about his phone?
It wasn't here.
We didn't see a suicide note either.
There they come.
Are you his mother and his homeroom teacher?
- Yes. - Yes.
We're here for questioning.
We have a few things to ask.
Should we talk inside? Is that all right?
- Yes, sure. - No.
Let's talk outside.
He needs to get some rest.
It's not like he can listen.
Let's do that.
Should we go to the rest area?
I'm going too.
What are you saying?
You're a detective in the Special Crime Squad.
So I don't think you're after a case for a small precinct.
They found the bag at the rooftop,
but it's not Eun Ho's.
No. I think that's Eun Ho's bag.
I'll have to check what's inside.
It's the same as the one I saw yesterday morning.
We'll take care of it. Stay out of this. Let's go, ma'am.
Let's go.
Is this your son's bag?
Well, I don't...
- Will you try checking it, sir? - Okay.
("The Life Before Us")
("Marty Pants 2")
(Receipt, Hongje Bookstore)
(Home Correspondence)
- Is it his? - Yes.
This is the home correspondence I distributed at school yesterday.
I think it's his bag.
Has he not been bullied at school?
No, as far as I know.
Were you waiting for me?
I have something to ask you about.
As Eun Ho's neighbor?
- Or as a detective? - As his friend.
Isn't there a student who bullies Eun Ho at school?
- In what way? - I guess there is.
No, as far as I know.
There are traces of violence on his body.
The wound on his lips. Abrasion and Bruises on his shoulder and chest.
Those aren't because of the fall.
Not at school.
There was nothing on his face until the end of school that day.
He may have gotten those wounds on different days.
And leaving his classroom doesn't mean he left his school.
Are you saying he made such a choice...
because of school violence?
Is that what you're suspecting?
What happened to Eun Ho...
is a criminal case.
If that's what you think,
- ask me as a detective. - Will that change your answer?
Thank you for today.
You shouldn't go in there.
Please come out.
It's an accident scene. You must not go in there without permission.
Can I see the chairman here?
You're a detective. But...
- he's having breakfast now. - I'll wait.
Call me when he's done.
Okay.
It'd be a miracle...
if someone survives after falling from this height.
But that miracle happened here yesterday.
- Chairman Baek Sang Ho? - That's me.
- Are you Detective Cha Young Jin? - Yes.
I'm curious...
why a detective from the SCS is here to see me.
The miracle that you mentioned just now.
You partly contributed to that miracle.
- How did you know? - I heard it from Mr. Lee Sun Woo.
There are traces of violence on his body.
The wound on his lips. Abrasion and Bruises on his shoulder and chest.
Those aren't because of the fall.
(Joo Dong Myung)
Sun Woo must've been stunned when he took my call.
He was taking Eun Ho's mom to the hospital,
but she was already at the hospital.
Well...
Eun Ho must be special enough for you to lead a misunderstanding.
That must be why you're...
- investigating this yourself. - That's right.
So I'd like you to give me access to the CCTV footage of this hotel.
You want to investigate a case... of the neighbor whom you've known for a long time.
Isn't that against your work ethics?
I'm the type of person...
who chooses what's right over the principles like you.
Besides,
Eun Ho captured my attention at first sight.
But he happened to have fallen... from my hotel out of all the other places.
I feel so heartbroken and responsible.
You may take it. I'll tell the situation room.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
Good luck on finding the culprit.
Do you think this is a crimimnal case?
I'm hoping so.
That may be... less painful for you...
than Eun Ho jumping off from here on his own. Right?
It's 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40,
41, 42, 43, 44, 45.
- It's Sun Woo. - What?
He already went to school?
He didn't come home yesterday.
He has something to ask you regarding the school business.
Hi, Sun Woo.
- Let me do it. How many did you do? - What?
- I don't know. - You don't?
Then you should start again.
One, two, three...
Are you still at the hospital?
No, I'm at school.
It's fortunate, I guess. It didn't happen at school.
What are you saying?
How could you say that?
- A kid got injured. - Sun Woo.
Don't make the same mistake.
- What do you mean? - You know it from experience.
If you aren't going to take the responsibility until the end,
keep the distance from your students.
You know your goodwill could come back at you as malice...
and end up hurting you.
Dong Myung.
Eun Ho...
is badly injured. He's in the hospital now.
Why?
You didn't know he was injured,
but you came because you were worried?
I mean, his phone was turned off.
Which hospital is it?
Why did Eun Ho...
- give his shoes to you? - Where is he?
You can't even wear his shoes because it's too small.
I sold it.
Tell me where he is.
He's in a critical condition,
so you won't be able to see him by yourself.
Why don't you go with me?
Why... did he get hurt?
He fell from a hotel.
Millennium...
You...
How did you know that?
Dong Myung.
Dong Myung!
Pick up.
Pick up the phone.
Chauffeur Choi didn't contact you either, right?
Come out. I'll drop you off.
Eun Ho hasn't regained his consciousness yet.
At the moment, we have decided not to tell the kids about the accident.
Please be aware of that.
Now, you can get back to work.
- Ms. Kim. - Yes.
I'm sorry,
but do you mind doing the assembly for my class today?
Sit down, everyone.
Your homeroom teacher has something urgent to do,
so I'm here today.
Is Eun Ho the only one absent today?
- Yes. - Yes.
Well, Eun Ho is sick, so he won't be here for a while.
How sick is he?
I'm not sure.
- Prepare for your class now. - Yes.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Catch me if you can.
I'm going to catch you.
- Excuse me. Hello. - Yes.
- Can I ask you something? - Sure.
Which way do I have to go to find number 43?
Go this way.
- That way? - Yes. This way.
- Thank you. - Yes.
(Songjuk-gil, 43)
Is anyone home?
Dong Myung.
It's not safe.
The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave...
You can't even wear Eun Ho's shoes because it's too small.
I sold it.
Tell me where he is.
They found the bag at the rooftop, but it's not Eun Ho's.
Yes, I think it's Eun Ho's bag.
I'll be sure after seeing what's inside,
but it's the same bag I saw last morning.
Gosh, you're here. I should have bought another one.
Would you like one?
I might not come back today.
All right.
Don't skip your meals.
Those detectives before.
They kept insisting Eun Ho tried to kill himself.
When I told them he would never do that,
they said I wouldn't know if he hid it from me.
I would never know.

- Hello. - Where is Detective Cha?
She went out.
I don't think she'll come back today.
I don't know what she's up to,
but she'll return right away if she hears this.
- What is it? - Don't make this into a big deal.
Sir, what is it?
If we know what it is, everyone here will find out too.
Gosh, you jerk.

was close to Lim Hee Jung.

What is it about?
Let me see the security footage outside.
(Yonsei Pharmacy)
There are no security cameras here.
Phone.
(Eun Ho)
Yes.
Hello?
It's turned off.
The button from Eun Ho's school uniform was on the floor.
If we find traces of Eun Ho from the body...
Then this isn't a coincidence.
Ha Min Sung.
He goes to Shinsung Middle School, right?
He's in my class.
Where is Eun Ho hurt?
The crime started in an abandoned building near the school.
I want to know why he fell from the hotel.
If you were at the Millennium Hotel last night, you'll be in trouble.
Eun Ho found the money in the hotel's bathroom.
It was 30,000 dollars.
This isn't just a hotel for me.
Now it'll be under the spotlight because of the unfortunate incident.
If I had called him again, maybe I could have stopped him.
This is the only way to rid myself of this guilt.
I give up on the stigmata serial murder case.
