The Heaven's Door case was a homicide, not a suicide.
Also, in that facility, a killer known as "The Lord's Soldier",
lived among them.
At the facility, he was called Deacon Kim.
Hey, are you okay?
Wake up.
They're coming.
What?
The end times are coming.
(Episode 9)
Kim Dan!
He's already dead.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
You don't look so well.
Excuse me.
A person died here.
He's wearing a nice suit, a white gold watch,
and a ring with a 2-carat sapphire.
His outfit is worth a down payment for a house.
And he just fell from the sky?
Yes.
What floor was it?
Probably the top floor.
Mr. Ju, it's not that simple.
If you want to calculate the height from which the body fell,
you need to know his weight...
and the extent of his damage of each organ...
It's the top floor.
You're an educated man.
This is Ma Jong Woo.
Who?
The CEO of Soho Entertainment.
His father started the company and is known as royalty in the industry.
He lives in the penthouse of this building.
You must watch a lot of entertainment shows.
Sometimes, stuff like that helps more than science.
Why do you think he died?
He slipped, jumped, or someone pushed him.
One of those three.
Do you think God willed it?
What are you talking about?
He said the end times were coming...
right before he died.
It's his wife.
Who wants to do it?
We need to tell her.
It's Bodhidharma.
I don't think someone who believes in the end times would own this.
Right.
There are no crosses...
or the bible.
What do you think?
- What do you mean? - Do you believe in the end times?
Or something like that?
What are you trying to say?
What is your religion?
I don't really have one.
Sometimes, I go to a church and sometimes a Buddhist temple.
You're not a faithful man.
I don't think he left a will.
They're Zolpidem and Prozac.
Sleeping pills and depression medication.
His clothes are neatly folded.
I see no signs of break-ins.
There is no will,
but it seems that he committed a suicide.
What's that dog?
Hey!
Come here.
Are you scared of dogs?
I'm not scared of anything.
I just like to stay safe at all times.
You're such a good boy.
No, not that.
Hey, what are you doing?
What a good boy.
Detective, are you okay?
What is it?
Oh, I'm fine.
I was just thinking about something.
There was someone in here.
The dog saw him jump.
Seriously?
The dog bit the perpetrator. It was a homicide.
You can communicate with animals and hear empty bells.
This is so ridiculous.
What bell?
It's an inside joke.
A little secret between...
the male and female detective.
Oh, right.
I need to go to the lab for the video analysis.
If you're in a hurry, I'll give you a ride.
Is that okay?
Sure.
Be careful with him.
Okay.
Could you analyze it?
It's an old video, so the resolution is very low.
I can't guarantee a perfectly accurate analysis.
How long will it take?
I'll get started first and let you know.
Thank you.
I'm sorry,
but when the results are ready, contact me first.
- Please. - Okay.
Did you know him?
- Sorry? - The video.
You looked like you were having a hard time watching it.
Well,
I tend to get emotional easily.
I'm the opposite. I don't easily get emotional.
But it's different this time.
Too many people died.
Was that person you, Dad?
Who are you?
Did you do it, Dad?
Did you kill them?
Hello. I'm sorry that this is so out of the blue.
I'm Dan's dad.
I see. Please, come in.
You used to work in this apartment complex, right?
How did you know?
Did you live here then?
I would have known you.
I spent most of my time at the police station.
I've seen you a couple of times from afar.
I see.
So, what did you want to tell me?
Detective,
please...
exclude my daughter from that team.
Transfer her to another team or another precinct.
If not, you can send her to a remote region somewhere.
Please, detective.
Sure.
Really?
But you have to do me a favor.
Tell me what you're hiding from your daughter.
Please, don't ask me that question.
Just think of it as saving a dear colleague of yours.
Is it related to the Heaven's Door case?
I believe that you saw...
31 people die.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
That's what I think.
Detective Kim Dan...
might be the survivor of that incident.
If so,
who is her father?
Detective, my daughter is a special one.
I don't know if you'd believe me,
but she's seen terrible things...
and experienced the pain as if it were hers.
That's why she thinks she was part of that incident...
as well.
She seems cheerful,
but she gets scared easily.
She's very kind as well...
and gets emotional easily. Also...
Is that...
the choice you want to make for your daughter?
Please, get up.
I'm sorry, but I can't do...
what you ask of me.
But I can tell you one thing.
Dan...
trusts you and she's waiting.
Please,
don't let her down.
I won't tell her about this.
There isn't much time left.
She's starting to...
remember the incident bit by bit.
(Funeral)
Everything is well, right?
For what?
Is everything okay with your family?
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
What are you going to do at the funeral?
They don't even know how he died for sure,
but they're refusing to do an autopsy.
There is no evidence that it was a murder.
Of course, there is. I saw it with my own eyes.
So are you going to say,
"I'm a supernatural detective"?
It was certainly a woman.
His wife is suspicious.
She's 19 years younger than him.
His sister is suspicious as well.
Anyway, I need to see his family.
Again. You shouldn't get that emotional as a police officer.
That's not how...
- Ma'am. - Please tell us...
Did he suffer from depression?
Her skin is as pale as snow.
She has no makeup on, but she has red lips.
And...
I can just hear your thoughts, you know.
Is that her?
Yes. She's the wife of the victim.
They were married for two years,
and both of them had been married before.
The one on the wheelchair is the victim's mother.
- She's my ideal type of woman. - What?
That widow.
Please.
Please say something.
Detective Cheon.
You shouldn't get that emotional as a police officer.
Detective Cheon?
That little...
(The late Ma Jong Woo, CEO of Soho Entertainment)
They're serving Yukgaejang.
So what?
That's too spicy for me.
What are you, a little kid?
At the edge of this pathway
Heaven's door is open
Do you hear that?
This song. It's "The Pathway to Heaven".
Let's march together
Toward the hope
(Chunin Church)
It's Chunin Church. Again!
Hwa Jeong.
You killed him, didn't you?
You satanic witch.
How could you...
Do you think I don't know?
This is why I was against this marriage.
I tried to stop him.
Please.
This is his funeral.
Right. That's right!
You should...
apologize to him!
Ma'am, do not use violence!
- Hey, hey! - Calm down!
- Calm down. Calm down. - Ma'am!
Who are you? Why are you here?
We're police officers.
We're investigating this case.
Police?
It's her.
She killed my little brother!
Please.
Mother is crying.
Jae In, are you okay?
No.
Your fantasy is much better.
My genre is supposed to be...
classy, but now this nonsense?
Get yourself together and get the widow's statement.
I'll talk to the sister. Let's go.
- Shall we? - Yes. Let's go.
Why...
did he die?
We're trying to find out...
if it's a murder, suicide, or an accident.
We're considering all possibilities.
It was never a suicide.
He would never kill himself and leave me.
Believe me, detective.
That's why the body needs an autopsy.
That was...
because of his sister.
At the church she goes to, they said not to touch the body...
so he can rest in peace.
Was it Chunin Church?
Yes.
Did your late husband go to that church?
He used to be a devoted follower of God,
but after he married her, he stopped going to the church.
He would get things like a painting of Bodhidharma.
She had possessed him.
That's why you fought with your brother, right?
Jong Woo, let's go to the church!
Please, Hwa Jeong.
What's wrong with you?
You've been arrested at his house twice for disturbance.
And you stopped talking to him entirely because of the feud...
regarding inheritance and the tithe for the church.
Ma'am, you don't believe in God, do you?
Even right now,
God has everything planned for your life...
Please, don't do that.
Right now, I'm very sick of churches.
So when your brother died,
where were you?
It wasn't me.
It was that wench!
It's all my fault.
I should have gone home earlier that day.
If I did, he would have been alive right now.
Were you at the hospital at that time?
Yes.
I was taking care of my mother-in-law.
What kind of man...
was your husband?
He was a hard-working family man.
Even when he's very busy,
we always had at least one meal together every day.
You know how heartwarming it is to share a meal...
with your family...
even without saying anything.
I know.
You must have studied photography.
Your exposure and angle...
don't seem amateurish.
- You took it, didn't you? - I did.
You must know a lot about photography.
Someone close to me used to be a photographer.
She used to take photos...
in unexpected moments.
Was it your wife?
My little sister.
She died two years ago.
It must have been hard...
for you too.
She's a cursed girl!
After she married him, Mom had a stroke,
and Jong Woo is dead.
I have no doubt.
She poisoned my mom's food...
and pushed Jong Woo!
By the way,
how did your leg get hurt?
(Funeral Hall)
I'm sure it was his sister.
She's a fanatic at Chunin Church.
She has a motive and didn't allow the autopsy.
The reason why Jong Woo was depressed...
was because of her and the lawsuit.
And her leg wound.
She said it was a car accident,
but I'm sure the dog bit her.
What about the wife?
She's suspicious too,
but she makes you feel sympathetic for her.
Right? She's fatal.
What?
- What? - Do you have a crush on her?
Are you jealous?
Jealous?
I get it.
You're one of those people...
who only like handsome men.
Are you insane?
Women.
It's just the two of us here now.
Darling.
Did you see it?
Did you see the end times coming?
(Ma Hwa Jeong, his sister. She goes to Chunin Church.)
(She was arrested before. Was she bit by the dog?)
Kim Dan!
Yes, Captain.
Are you trying to be like Jae In?
I'm here.
I heard you threatened the victim's family at the funeral.
The sister called you, didn't she?
They are no ordinary family.
Don't cause an unnecessary ruckus!
It could be a murder. We should investigate it.
If you want to do it, then find the evidence.
I'll give you 24 hours.
Why are you so indifferent?
Why are you picking a fight?
It's not an everyday case.
Normally, you would have already found something.
As you can see, I'm busy with the cooperative case.
Give me something.
Like what?
Anything to continue working on the case with.
Hey, do it right.
This is how you should do this.
Watch. Like this. Like this.
Watch this. Didn't you do this in the military?
What is it?
Shouldn't the youngest do these things?
Jae In is always bringing Dan everywhere.
They're dating, you know.
No way. One of them is out of their league.
Of course.
- Jae In is too good for her. - Dan is too good for him.
Dan is practically a man. She exudes male hormones.
Other than his brain, Jae In is a total mess.
But he's good-looking.
You're crazy. I'm way better-looking than him.
Are you finished?
- Shut up! - Shut up!
What...
Now!
- Tell me. - 2.7m.
Ready.
My back hurts. Is it going to rain?
Let's go again.
We'll do it.
Watch out.
Come on. Measure it.
Here.
Like this.
2.1m.
What are you doing? Bring it back.
What are you doing? Go.
Go.
2.5m.
I'm so tired.
Let's go.
For how long do we have to do this?
A bit more.
Are we done?
I'm so tired.
Hey, you do it.
You're the youngest.
Go.
Hey, just stay here. Stay here.
Gosh.
This is just...
No more!
- Jae In. - What is it?
Here.
He weighed 78kg and the average distance from the building is 2.2m.
The place his body fell onto was 5.7m away from the building.
If it was a normal fall,
the body wouldn't be any further than 3m from the building.
The rate at which the body fell accelerated.
As if someone pushed him.
It is homicide.
Kim Dan, you find the culprit.
Yes, sir.
Mochi, why won't you eat your food?
Are you sad that your dad died?
Is the dog not eating?
He probably didn't eat anything since then.
but he's not eating at all.
Do you think he knows his owner died?
Mochi.
Mr. Ju, can you go over there?
That way. Go.
Mochi, this is very important.
One person's fate depends on you.
Here. Mochi, did you see your dad die?
Who killed him? Was it a woman?
What are you doing?
I know this is ridiculous,
but this is supposed to translate what the dog says.
I just hoped that this would find something.
Do you want to find the culprit that much?
We have to.
Someone died right in front of a cop.
I'm going to catch them.
All right, Mochi.
This is important.
Did you see him die?
No. Look here. Look.
Okay.
It was his sister, right?
No, no. Look here.
Hey!
Why is the dog here?
His name is Mochi.
I don't care. Why is he here?
There's no one to look after him,
and I needed to ask him some questions.
What's behind you?
What? Nothing.
Hey! I know you have something.
You little dog...
What did you want to talk about?
Is that the only accessory...
you own?
You only ever wear that one.
Oh. It's like a habit.
Oh, I see.
Here.
What is this?
I wanted to pay you back for the time you bought me food.
So...
open it.
Oh, my.
This is...
a health bracelet.
You know what it is.
It looks pretty...
and also good for your health because it contains anion...
which helps with circulation.
That's why it's healthy.
Why don't you try it on?
You've never bought a gift for a woman, have you?
No. That's why it was hard to decide on what to get.
So, you should try it on.
Okay.
Thank you.
It's pretty.
It looks good on you.
(It was probably a homicide.)
So, the case for Ma Jong Woo, the CEO of Soho Entertainment,
will be investigated with Chunin Church in mind.
We need to find the relationship between him and Pastor Wang.
By the way, should we work on this case in this team?
There are 190,000 members at the church.
We can't work on every Chunin Church case.
You're right.
That's why I'm going to opt out of this case after this.
From now on, Detective Kim will work on this case.
- Me? - You're the first witness.
And you're the one who suspected that this was a homicide.
Are you not confident?
I am.
You two should help her.
- Okay. - Okay.
See? They're dating.
What about Deacon Kim?
Was his face identified?
I'll check it.
Do it here. We need to hear it together.
Okay.
Yes, it's slowly taking shape.
They said they'll get the result in 3 or 4 days.
By the way, who do you think he is?
What is he doing now after killing so many people?
Where is he?
Who knows?
Maybe he's around us pretending to be an innocent citizen.
Right. That's possible.
(Wang Tae Sung, the pastor at Chunin Church)
Is there any progress on Guk Han Ju?
Not at all.
We don't have much time left.
If Guk Han Ju becomes the president,
we won't be able to solve the case.
Gosh. If that happens, forget that I was ever here.
So,
I've been thinking for the past few days...
as I was watching this video.
"Have we been missing something important?"
Like what?
The people who are in the video...
but not on the list of the deceased.
Who are they?
The kids.
There were seven kids at the welfare facility.
Five boys and two girls.
As you know, all of the 31 victims...
were adults.
Then where did the kids go?
It was 1994.
So they would be in their late 20s or early 30s.
Then they would remember something.
But we don't even know their names.
How do we find them with just their faces?
Among these kids,
there is someone we know.
Who's that?
The serial killer, Han Sang Gu.
- What? Han Sang Gu? - Han Sang Gu?
We found out on the island...
that the kid is Han Sang Gu.
I knew he was an orphan.
But he lived there?
He was abetted to kill a female reporter...
who was investigating the story.
Yes, my sister, Cheon Su In.
Behind that murder, there are those three people.
That's why I have this theory.
At least one of those kids...
was raised by those people.
So, even now, maybe some of them...
still have a close relationship with those three.
What do you think, Mr. Ju?
I think it's a probable theory.
I'll find those kids...
with you.
Good. Let's divide the team in half.
One will be in charge of Ma Jong Woo's case,
and the other will try to find the kids.
Before that,
I will tell you who the first target is for me and Mr. Ju.
(Popeye)
Popeye.
The cartoon character?
Before Han Sang Gu, he said,
"Popeye is waiting."
Popeye is...
probably around those three people.
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
Do what?
You made me work on Ma Jong Woo's case...
to exclude me.
You're looking into Deacon Kim...
and you'll solve that case as well.
Just focus on that.
Oh, that's right.
Who do you think is Deacon Kim?
That's your job to find out.
What if...
he's really living as an ordinary person?
He could have a family as well.
But that doesn't change the fact that he's Deacon Kim.
Oh, there's something we need to do.
Do you...
remember the face of Popeye?
On the island you said something about Popeye.
Do you want some?
When I grow up, I'm going to eat it every day.
Why?
Because I'll be the owner of the supermarket.
I think it was him.
Do you remember anything else?
He was very kind.
He used to give me all the sugar candy from the snack.
What else?
He said...
he'd own a supermarket.
A supermarket?
(Songha Hospital)
You said you're busy. Why are you following me?
I wanted to see that woman again.
By the way, that woman must be very unlucky.
- Why? - This was her third marriage...
and her previous husband died of a heart attack,
and her first husband died in a fire.
And her last one...
Is she cursed or something?
Mother, please have at least one spoonful.
What about her sister-in-law?
She doesn't answer her phone.
She doesn't even open the door either.
She's giving me trouble for no reason.
If I catch her, she'll see it coming.
What's that bracelet?
Oh, this?
Mr. Ju bought it for me.
Does it look?
Yes. It looks like a present for a parent.
Are you jealous?
Don't copy me.
Also, you should be careful around Mr. Ju.
Why do you keep saying that?
Just mark my words.
You! You little rat!
You scumbag!
So what are you up to?
What are you and Guk Han Ju...
cooking up?
Why are you doing this?
I heard you gave Cheon Jae In the video from the facility.
I was only obeying my orders.
Am I not enough for you?
Is that why you dragged Ah Hyun into this?
What are you talking about?
I was recruited.
Mr. Guk recruited me.
So stop it.
No way.
The new face of the campaign is...
Yes. It's me.
Ah Hyun!
You didn't even discuss it with me!
This is my life.
Why Guk Han Ju, of all people?
I do everything for you!
When I was kidnapped,
what did you do?
Your daughter...
was dying at the hands of Han Sang Gu,
and where were you?
Ah Hyun.
You have no idea how hard I worked to find you...
It was your fault.
The reason why Han Sang Gu kidnapped me.
I know everything.
Excuse me.
Have you caught the culprit yet?
I'm sorry. Not yet.
Do you have contact with your sister-in-law?
After the funeral, she came by my house once...
to ask for my late husband's legal seal.
Did you give it to her?
I don't even know...
where he kept those things.
There have been 2 records where 500,000 dollars...
were transferred to Chunin Church from his bank account.
Do you know what that's about?
When was that?
July last year.
I thought...
he wasn't talking to her at all.
Do you think...
that she killed him by any chance?
No.
Even if that happened, she wouldn't do that.
If not the sister-in-law,
then whom do you think did it?
I'm not sure.
Does your mother-in-law understand what we're saying?
No.
She had a stroke when she started showing signs of dementia.
Sometimes, she gets her senses back.
Really?
Do you understand me, ma'am?
Do you know who killed your son?
Maybe I was imagining it.
Please, detective.
Catch the culprit.
I will.
I was looking at the flowers...
I'll do it.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
When did you break your arm?
- Sorry? - I think you've fractured it...
many times.
A long time ago, I got hurt.
By the way, don't you think the mother-in-law is weird?
Sometimes it looks as if she understands the words.
Jae In, you go ahead.
I'm going to meet with the doctor.
Gosh. This feels like a deja vu.
Does it hurt?
Why didn't you fight back?
My dad and the men.
What do they have on you?
How can they make you so pathetic?
What are you trying to do,
joining the campaign?
Oh, look who it is.
What brings you here?
And why are you two together?
I'm a prosecutor.
Is it weird that I'm acquaintances with a wealthy heiress?
You don't look so well.
- Did someone beat you up? - No.
Tell me. I'll arrest him.
He fought with me.
A couple's quarrel.
Wow, you are a ladies' man.
You once said you're not interested in relationships or marriage.
We'd like to hang out with you,
but we're a bit busy.
Please, go.
Why did you buy her the bracelet?
Oh, no. I shouldn't have said that.
Have a great time.
(Chunin Church)
Can I help you?
I'm here to see the pastor. I'm a police officer.
I've come here before.
Come this way.
Listen to the Lord...
and obey Him.
- Listen to the Lord... - Listen to the Lord...
- and obey him. - and obey him.
Make sure to follow his commandments...
And obey the Law of Moses.
- And obey the Law of Moses. - And obey the Law of Moses.
Only do as he says.
- Only do as he says. - Only do as he says.
Excuse me.
You've come by last time as well, right?
Was it about Han Sang Gu?
Yes. I come here quite often, don't you think?
What brings you here this time?
Did you know the late Ma Jong Woo, the CEO of Soho Entertainment?
Yes, I did.
I even officiated his wedding as well.
Mr. Ma stopped attending the church since last year.
But a big amount of money...
still got transferred to the church.
Oh, if this is about the tithe,
there is an elder who is in charge of the finances.
Should I call him for you?
Father.
Why did Jonah go into the fish's belly?
Well, Jonah committed a sin of disobeying God,
but...
God sent him a big fish and saved him.
Thank you.
Who are those kids?
They're orphans who have nowhere to go.
I take it as my duty, so I'm raising them.
You're God's children.
You will overcome the hardships...
because you are God's servants.
It's the same as the last time.
What are you scheming?
Detective,
are you all right?
I'm okay.
I sense bad energy from you.
Sorry?
Behind you,
there's a black shadow shaped like a snake.
What do you mean by that?
You are cursed.
She's cursed!
If you have no faith, something bad will happen...
to you and your family as well.
Did you say something similar to Mr. Ma's family as well?
Just like now,
did you tell them that his wife is cursed?
Is that why his mother had a stroke...
and that sister gave you the money as a tithe?
Yes, detective.
I have an urgent matter to discuss.
I'm on my way, so I'll go to your place.
Please, have some.
I'm sorry to visit you at such a late hour.
It's okay.
I was just at Chunin Church.
I think that the pastor...
is involved in your husband's death.
The reason why your sister-in-law tormented you and your husband...
is because of what the pastor said.
From now on, tell me everything you know...
about that church.
You came all the way here just to give me this?
"Just this"?
These files on Han Sang Gu are precious.
I've already seen them.
I was in charge of that case.
Oh, I see.
Take care.
I came all the way here.
Shouldn't you at least invite me over for some ramyeon?
Why would you have ramyeon at my place?
It's the kindness of the Korean people.
You must read a lot of books.
Do you have a photo album?
No.
Not even a yearbook?
No.
What do you want to know?
I was wondering if you had any plastic surgery done.
I'm all-natural.
Here you go.
The ramyeon cooked by a prosecutor.
Let's see. Thanks for the food.
There is no egg.
It's okay.
Is there anyone who visits you besides me?
Am I your first guest?
There is.
Baek Ah Hyun of Songha Group.
You often become honest at unexpected moments.
The daughter of a corporate. That's nice.
- But... - But...
what am I doing with Detective Kim Dan?
I hope you weren't going to ask me that cliche question.
It's cliche, but I must hear your answer.
I need her to do my job.
I said I'm interested in her.
She sued your husband once...
regarding the tithe for the church, right?
That's why the sister-in-law gave you a hard time.
Excuse me.
Did you try to find the kids?
We have nothing except for the photos.
We don't even know their names.
Who do you think is Popeye?
I'm not sure.
Just pick anyone.
What's the point of this?
It's just for fun.
I don't think it's him.
Popeye as a girl?
That's new.
Isn't she...
Yes, Mr. Wang.
Do you...
really think I'm cursed?
Don't listen...
to that pastor.
Have you ever...
lost a loved one?
Come down from there first. Then we'll talk.
Without him,
I have no reason to live.
No!
You deserve a painful death, you wench.
What?
1, 2, 3.
You killed three men?
You!
You're a snake wearing a woman's skin.
Are you insane?
Oh, right.
You were almost born in March to become royalty.
But because of your mother,
you died before you could see the light of day.
How did you know...
It's her.
When did you break your arm?
It was her.
Who are you?
What's wrong with me?
I put something...
in your tea.
Is that how you killed your husband?
I'll show you...
what the end times look like.
(Children of a Lesser God)
The kids who became monsters.
Did you find out who it is?
What are you scheming?
You are children of God.
Who are you?
There is only one month left until the election.
We'll catch them.
And make them pay for what they did.
The candidate will be attacked.
He will get hurt!
Let's check...
to see if Ju Ha Min is Popeye or not.
