[soothing music playing]

[Yun-sang] I poured some homemade wine. Want a glass?

Se-kyung.

I have something to show you.

You and me.

Let's go to the US. Yeah.

Let's leave.

We can leave together with this.

Se-kyung. [echoes]

Let's leave. [echoes]

192 DAYS UNTIL ASTEROID COLLISION

[Ha-yul] Wow, this place is huge!

-[Jin-seo] Seriously. -[So-min] You could fit 200 soccer fields.

[Ha-yul] Think so? Mmm.

[Jin-seo] Huh.

Do you think the US soldiers actually left anything behind?

[Ha-yul] They were in a rush, so I bet they did.

[Jin-seo] Whoa.

[brakes squeal]

Ah! [echoes]

Ah! [echoes]

[Jin-seo chuckles]

So empty.

Think someone will steal your bike?

[So-min] Mmm. There's 193…

No, 192 days left.

I need it.

Yeah. I guess a lot of people would steal it.

It's a good bike.

Her bike's her number one treasure.

It's actually number two.

Whoa! What's number one?

[So-min] Ms. Jin.

[chuckles]

Really?

-[So-min] Yeah. -Your number one treasure is a person?

-I'm worried. -[Jin-seo] About what?

Well, she's been so weird.

Don't you think she's been kinda gloomy these days?

Has she?

They exposed that brothel thing and took all those guys in.

She didn't even seem that excited to hear about it.

-I dunno. -[Ha-yul] Hmm.

She wasn't that happy to see Mr. Ha either.

-Should we look around? -I'll go there.

-I'll check there. -I'll go that way.

Okay.

-[electronic music playing] -[siren wails]

-[man 1] Let's go! -[man 2] Let's go.

[Oktokki] Hello, great people of Woongcheon.

Good news.

The rescue operation from the brothel was a success.

But it wasn't the Joint Investigation Unit that did it.

It was the SMU.

In any case, though one place has been swept clean,

the rest of the neighborhood is still an unsafe place

for the good citizens of our city.

For now, though, attention!

We thank you! The Veterans of Special Warfare.

-Salute now! -Salute now!

[Oktokki] At ease.

The JIU must be pretty bitter today, huh?

Now drop and give me 50!

[laughs]

By the way,

did the real owner of the brothel actually just vanish?

Hmm.

Something smells fishy.

Real fishy.

[Se-kyung breathing heavily]

Everyone says he vanished.

What of it?

You checked thoroughly, right?

Huh?

Hold on! In-a!

In-a, hold on!

Just stop! In-a!

Slow down, please.

Just hold on.

[breathing heavily]

[panting] I just want… a minute.

[exhales sharply] Oh!

It's pretty straightforward.

He's not coming back, so stop thinking about it.

Huh?

[In-a] Take my bike. It's yours.

How long are you gonna run?

Ah! Wait up!

I'm dying here! [pants]

Wait for me! In-A!

[Se-kyung pants] Whoa!

I almost forgot you were here.

[sighs]

-[both chuckle] -I'll go shower.

See you soon.

[Se-kyung panting]

[sighs]

[Seon-ju] A violent gang who had imprisoned underage girls

and exploited them for prostitution has been arrested.

There was also speculation

that a number of kids they found last night

were the same children who had all been taken

when the asteroid was first announced.

This speculation

is, unfortunately, true.

[chirping]

And to the next piece of news.

The migration to safety zone countries has been completely suspended.

[door opens]

For those who have received communication from family or friends

who have left for a safety zone country…

[Su-dong moans] Here.

You can share these with your friends or sell them.

They were out in storage. [chuckles softly]

I remembered how much Jae-won liked 'em.

[groans] I'm upset now.

[wistful music playing]

[Su-dong sighs]

He had to go though.

He's safe now.

And some think… that we'll all die anyhow, so…

Don't get glum.

Hey.

Last night, you know, I had a dream.

-Oh? -Yes, it was the television.

And the president was on it.

It was, uh… it was one of those broadcasts by satellite.

The US president.

Microphones and people.

Imagine it all.

So what'd he say, then?

They did a little… recalculating,

and it looks like the asteroid is actually gonna miss us.

"We're sorry for all the trouble caused."

Oh, his face was red and blushed, you know,

and he'd bow… bow to the audience there.

[chuckles] Oh.

Oh, that heart of yours. Always seeing the good in everything, huh?

[laughing]

I guess so.

Like the guy could even say a word in Korean.

[Su-dong] Oh, I miss my Jae-won so much.

I don't know what to do.

Let's try to go all the way up, okay?

Noona, can we take a break for a little bit? Okay?

-To treasure hunt? -Yeah.

There you go. That's nice.

Wow! Woo-chan, you got so much treasure!

-You're super rich now, aren't you? -[Woo-chan] Yeah!

[Hae-chan laughs]

Ready?

[wistful music continues]

[So-min] How's it going?

[brakes squeal]

[Ms. Oh] Hey! So-min!

-So-min! -[So-min] Yeah?

Hey. Look here.

Take the kids and go play at home.

Did you hear me? They've been wandering around too much these days.

[So-min] Wait. Hae-chan left again?

[Ms. Oh sighs]

Yeah. So can you please go find them now?

Why me, huh?

Can't you see that I'm working over here, huh?

Come on! Hurry up and go right now! Don't pet the dog!

-Fine, whatever. -Go on!

Uh, don't go too far though. Please stay close by. Understood?

-[Ha-yul] Okay. -Good.

Go take a look at the park, huh?

Oh, and don't forget to check the back alleys as well!

[door opens]

Good morning.

-[door closes] -[Yun-sang sighs]

I understand, okay?

But I'm still really upset.

[Se-kyung] If you understand, why are you upset?

Because even when I first came back, you didn't seem happy to see me at all.

I mean, maybe a little, but you were mostly just shocked.

Am I right? You looked so startled. As if--

As if?

I mean…

Our time apart felt like a hundred years. A lot has happened, okay?

I know we each went through our own hell.

[emotional music playing]

It's normal to be startled.

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, Yun-sang, Se-kyung.

[Se-kyung] Oh, uh…

-[Yun-sang] Se-kyung, get in the car. -I'm sorry. Let's talk.

I have to tell you some-- Oh, hey! Just…

[man spluttering]

-Yun-sang. -Get off!

You gotta listen. I have a really important offer for ya.

[sighs] What the--

Huh, what? No! Hey, don't--

-How'd he hunt you down so quickly? -Don't! Yun-sang!

-Was he spying on us? -You need this!

-[Yun-sang] I know, right? -Yun-sang! Yun-sang!

-Hi, Se-kyung. -What is this guy doing?

-[man] You gotta forgive me! -You okay? You didn't forgive him, right?

-I didn't. -[man] Can't you see?

-Just a second so I can talk to you! -[Se-kyung] Let's go.

Just ignore him.

You gotta listen to me! It's for your own good!

[car horn honking]

[man] Stop it! Yun-sang! Wait!

Yu… Yun-sang!

Hey! Hey, wait a second!

[wistful music playing]

One, two, three!

Wow! More food than I've seen in my whole life!

-You like it? -Mmm!

Noona, I wish Mommy would come back.

I do too.

Yummy, isn't it?

[door opens, closes]

[footsteps approaching]

Hae-chan.

Don't be mad at us. Woo-chan didn't do anything.

I should've told you. It's my fault, Auntie. I'm sorry.

[Ms. Oh] Are you okay?

You're not hurt, huh?

Woo-chan, you all right, huh?

[breathing heavily]

[sobs]

Oh, dear Lord, thank you.

Oh!

Thank you, Lord! Oh, thank you!

I'm happy you're safe.

Auntie was just so busy with the gold

and all the insanity that's been happening in our town.

I'm sorry, honey.

I didn't even know where you like to play.

[breathes deeply]

Oh goodness.

How did you…

How did you even get here?

I used to play here before with Mom, so I…

I wanted a place of my own where Woo-chan and I could play.

Mommy used to, uh…

[woman] Hey! Why don't we sleep here for the night?

Get cozy in here!

-Okay! -Gaeul, you too. What's this?

[Hae-chan] "I have butterflies."

-It's a pretty good story? -Butterflies.

Oh my. Butterflies.

-[all laugh] -Come on.

-Here they all come to get you. Ah! -[all laughing]

Watch it there! They're gonna get you! Watch out!

[all laughing]

[wistful music continues]

[music fades]

[woman 1] At this rate, we won't last 100 days, let alone 200.

Rather than ammunition, what we really need is more food.

You all keep saying that.

It's a problem I can't solve.

Are you saying we should just let them starve?

Look at us. I spend all my time begging for more food for our officers.

-That's ridiculous, don't you think? -That's why we need mercenaries.

Encourage discharge applications.

Bullshit!

-How are we gonna do that? -What?

Kim Gyu-tae, do we have a problem?

Yeah.

You think we're all idiots right here?

You suck-ups used up our supplies to help the elite evacuate.

And now you're telling us to discharge soldiers?

You got a death wish?

-[all gasp] -Insubordination is punishable by death!

[Gyu-tae] Then shoot me, damn it! The asteroid will kill me anyway!

[soldier yawns]

[In-a chuckles]

A little tired today?

Uh, no, ma'am.

It sure looks like you're tired.

Let's stop at that rest area.

Oh. Sure.

-[woman 1] Drink it! -[man 1] What? Okay!

-[woman 1] All right! -[woman 2] Do one more!

Bottoms up!

-[man 1] Bottoms up! -[woman 2] Who made this? It's so good!

[man 1] What a waste!

-[both women] Ah! -[man 1 sighs]

[woman 1 laughs]

Attention!

[woman 1] Oh.

[chuckles]

Come back in 15.

Copy that. Fifteen minutes. See you then.

Thank you for your service! You amaze me. I got discharged about two months ago.

[woman 2] Come grab a bite. It's army stew.

Oh, no, thanks. Have a good time.

Oh! Told ya.

-[woman 1] Impressive. -[man 3] Is that the combat commander?

-[woman 2] That's her? -[man 3] Yeah.

[man 2] Ah.

[woman 3] But apparently, she's actually super qualified.

Big deal.

Ex-SMU agent.

During the Civil War, their commander got canned for insubordination.

[woman 1] Wow!

[man 1] The unit was disbanded, and they all scattered.

She got stationed here because it's her hometown.

-[woman 2] Really? -[woman 1] Are you serious?

[cat meows]

[cat meows]

[pensive music playing]

[cat meows]

Excuse me.

Hi. Are you in there?

Oh. Do you have a cat in there with you?

Can I come in?

[pensive music continues]

I can leave you alone if you'd like.

I only wanna help you, so it's your call.

-[door lock clicks] -[door opens]

[emotional music playing]

[cat meows]

[all cheering]

-[woman 1] See ya! -[woman 2 laughs]

[woman 1] Whoo!

Hold on.

[emotional music continues]

[truck door opens]

[door closes]

[nun] The mass?

Okay, I understand what you're saying.

-Yes, right. -[woman 4] Ms. Cho.

Your daughter's in the SMU, right? Captain Kang In-a.

-Excuse me! -It's amazing what they did.

-They really are the best. -[woman 5] I couldn't agree more.

Hello, Father Woo.

The deputy mayor told us she'd take care of it,

yet nothing has changed.

Thank God we at least have In-a around.

These corrupt officials are clearly working with the gangs.

Oh, symbiotically.

-That's one way to put it. -Such a big vocabulary.

[women laugh]

Hey, Father.

Do you think these guys are going to hell?

Now we can relax.

And they rescued everyone. All the missing kids.

I'm grateful I'll be leading the memorial, spreading words of hope.

Ever the optimist, I see. You're too kind.

I just spoke to the deputy mayor on the phone.

Huh?

She told me she'd like it to be a much larger operation now.

[gasps] Oh.

What?

She wants to hold it at city hall instead.

-[Sung-jae] City hall? -[gasps] Oh.

-Wait, but that makes no sense at all. -I say it's about time!

It's pretty obvious that she's had a surge in motivation!

You know, she must've, uh, been inspired by the sting operation.

I think this is important to do. Everyone's looking to you for guidance.

Believers and nonbelievers alike.

-I agree. -[woman 1] You're right.

You have to let us grieve and honor the ones who died.

Yeah. Excuse me.

Father, are you going to give the mass or not?

Is that a no?

-Let's prepare like it's happening. -[woman 5] I agree.

[nun] The memorial mass will be at city hall.

[woman 5] …but he'll show up.

All right.

Let's do a little rehearsal together, shall we?

After all, you've never spoken to an audience that big before.

[Sung-jae] It seems that God is testing me.

Oh. Oh, my legs are shaking just thinking about it.

Okay. Be ready.

You'll have a whole bunch of people lining up for confessional.

[sighing chuckle] Is this supposed to help me?

You know I'm already nervous enough as it is.

I know you're nervous about this.

Even so… no one else can do it but you.

There are so many people who don't have any hope.

You need to guide them, Father.

Yeah.

[nun] You can do it!

[Sung-jae] I have to.

-[woman 1] Uh, it's so hot in here! -[woman 2] Okay, got it.

-Is the AC even on in here? -[woman 3] It is.

-[Se-kyung] Sorry. I'll see what I can do. -[Seon-ju] Hello.

Just a sec! Please?

Doing it at city hall.

I'm sure you realize just how big this is gonna get.

And most of us don't have the experience or time to figure out…

I know. I understand your concerns.

This change will be good for everyone.

Okay?

The raid is still fresh on everyone's mind.

-It's a good time for unity. -Yeah, makes sense.

Also,

the president's chief of staff will be there. We can do a lot of good.

-[woman gasps] -Huh?

Wait. Is he still in Korea?

Ah! He wasn't able to leave.

He begged, right?

I'm sure he wanted to leave with the prime minister and the other elites.

He says it's his choice to stay, but he's probably stuck.

Mother.

Will you be visiting the Chinese medicine clinic?

So, Mother, I think it would be wise for you to stay close to home.

The city is chaotic these days.

Don't worry about it.

[man 1] Hey, In-tae!

Cho In-tae!

Enough with this nonsense! You can't avoid your father forever!

Get out here!

[sighs] Stop shouting at the boy!

It'd be worse if he were wandering around outside!

You coddle him too much, and it goes to his head.

You're encouraging him to act like this!

Hey, that's not true at all.

[man 1] Hey, In-tae!

Cho In-tae!

[door buzzer sounds]

In-tae.

Come on now! I've had enough!

Get out here now!

I know you're in there!

[In-tae crying]

Hurry up and come out!

Have you no respect for your father, In-tae?

Go on!

-[banging on door] -Cho In-tae! Come on!

[crying] No! If I c… c… come out, y… y… you'll beat me.

[man 1] Just what the hell are you doing in there?

-You goddamn punk! -[banging at door]

-[whimpers] Please. -[man 1] Fine! Don't come out to eat!

-Please don't force me to. -[man 1] Stay there and starve to death!

[sobs] Don't beat me.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mmm. Eat something before you leave.

I'm fine. I need to leave immediately.

Take good care of her, will you?

Of course.

I appreciate your work.

Oh. We'll have some good news soon. Keep it up. I'll be in touch.

[door opens]

[door closes]

The plants need some watering. They're all wilting.

[woman 2] Ah, yes. I'll be sure to do that.

[woman 2 sighs]

So, uh, you seem to be very relaxed despite the migration ban, ma'am.

Will you be leaving soon? I mean, given your son's high position.

[laughing]

That one would be nothing without my money.

[woman 1] I bet he's looking for an immigration sponsor right now.

He's afraid I won't give him anything.

Oh really?

He may be a former prosecutor, but all that means nothing.

All the safety zones overseas.

They get to pick and choose who they wanna let in.

Why would they want some random Korean prosecutor?

-Oh. -Talent is what they want.

Professors, scientists, engineers, not like my son.

Wouldn't you agree?

[woman 2] Uh, yeah.

That makes sense.

[sighs]

[phone buzzes]

[phone beeping]

[Mr. Song] Let's meet at the memorial mass.

There's someone I need to introduce you to.

[sighs]

[girl] Originally, I was with my family… [sniffles] …when I entered the facility.

But then I was dragged away.

Do you have anything else you'd like to share?

[sniffles]

[wistful music playing]

[girl sniffles]

[phone buzzes]

[nun] Confession will start soon.

SISTER REGINA - CONFESSIONS AT 2 P.M. CHEONDONG CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL

-[energy thrumming] -[electrical crackling]

I live in Seoul, so I don't have anybody here.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Will I be safe here?

I can't promise total safety.

But you're not alone anymore.

[girl sniffles]

I shouldn't talk about the training center.

[Se-kyung] Training center.

SEPARATED FROM FAMILY AT TRAINING CENTER

[Se-kyung] Training center.

ADMITTED TO THE TRAINING CENTER WITH HER FAMILY LAST JUNE

[unsettling music playing]

TRAINING CENTER MANAGER IM?

WOONGCHEON CITY HOSPITAL

-[In-a] All right. -[Se-kyung] Oh, In-a.

-Hey. -[In-a] Oh.

Why do you have all this stuff?

It's all hers. We found her earlier.

-[Se-kyung] Oh. -[cat meows]

She looks pretty bruised.

I gotta go. Help her out, okay?

[Se-kyung] Oh.

So, uh, I'm heading out now.

Uh, if you have any questions,

she'll answer them and take care of you.

[Se-kyung] Uh…

[Se-kyung] Wait. That's it? Can you at least introduce us?

Um, would you…

Why don't you let me carry that?

It's okay. It's mine.

[woman 1] Come on. Let's head inside.

-[soldier] Uh, Captain? -[In-a] Yeah?

I think I know that girl. Her photo's in my yearbook.

-You know her? -Uh-huh.

Yeah, she went to Cheondong too.

Chae Young-ji.

Oh, that's really nice.

From what I heard, she went to a very good university.

How long's the drive? Twenty minutes, you think?

I'm taking a nap.

Yep.

[woman] The results are good. Your height and weight are both healthy.

[Se-kyung] Hi, kitty. Time to eat.

[woman] Ms. Jin? Her ID card.

Let me see.

PERSONAL MEDICAL RECORDS CHAE YOUNG-JI

Um…

How did you get these injuries?

I just fell down.

[chuckles] It says building number 12.

Are you in 306? I'm 305.

Huh? Oh. You live right next to her?

So, um, how come we've never met?

Because I'm never there. Haven't visited much since high school.

Ah! Well, we must've missed each other, then.

I also had to take a bus to school back when I was in college.

It was always inconvenient.

It got a lot easier after I started my teaching job two years ago.

[Young-ji moans]

Uh, two years must've been…

[people clamoring]

[man 1] The chosen ones will be saved,

and we will live in a dazzling heaven on Earth.

After the flames cover the sky and the ground melts from the hot fire,

we'll find a new life under a new sky,

a new land without death or pain.

[people clamoring, screaming]

Chae Young-ji.

[man 1] A calamity is always a new beginning.

The day of judgment is coming.

The system of order on Earth has been destroyed,

and now we must follow the principles of the universe

to return to our roots.

All life on Earth will cease to exist.

After the flames cover the sky and the ground melts from the hot fire,

we will start a new life in a beautiful place.

You are all standing in the dominion of salvation.

[Se-kyung] Right this way.

Here. You go first.

Mmm.

It's right over there.

It's a relief.

I'm glad that no one in your family is missing or dead.

I guess some people are just meant to come home.

In-a had served in Incheon until recently.

And now she's back, just like you.

Uh, let's sit.

You need to report your return to get a ration card.

[wistful music playing]

Here. Fill this out, and sign over here.

Hey, Se-kyung.

Oh, Yun-sang. Are you here for a ration card?

So who's…

Hey, Yun-sang. You're no longer our most recent returnee.

-Hmm? -[Se-kyung laughs]

In-a found her earlier.

She's doing her paperwork.

Uh, she's actually our neighbor.

-Is that so? -Mm-hmm. Next to my unit.

[chuckles]

Uh…

Young-ji.

Um, this is Yun-sang. He's in unit 205.

He's our neighbor.

It's nice to meet you.

I came back recently too.

[Young-ji] Then I guess there's hope.

What was that?

Are you looking for someone?

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, Ms. Jin?

Help yourself to a ration ticket, Yun-sang.

She didn't say,

but those wounds all over her body aren't from an accident.

Those bruises are all caused by abuse.

-Someone beat her. -Huh?

I'm not surprised she's denying it.

I looked into it.

Her file says that she graduated from Cheondong Middle School,

and her parents, well, uh…

Oh. You found her parents?

[woman] Her mother is Do Jeong-a.

She went missing during that pyramid scheme incident.

-Let's see. You can sit-- -How about there?

-Yeah, next to Young-ji. -[all] Oh! Whoa!

[indistinct chattering]

-[teacher] Open up your books. -Hello.

-Your name's Young-ji? -[teacher] What's this?

I said no doodling.

[wistful music continues]

[Yun-sang grunts]

[clattering]

[So-min] She has a cat!

[Ha-yul gasps] So cute!

[Jin-seo] Whoa, a cat!

[Se-kyung] I'm so glad to have you here. Let us know if you need anything.

Thank you for everything you've done.

-[Yun-sang] Can I make you some dinner? -Uh, I, um… I'm not really hungry, so…

Why don't you eat something now that you're back home?

This guy's a good cook, you know?

-Aw, I'm glad you like it. -[laughs]

How about we leave it by your door so there's no pressure?

-We'll ring twice to let you know. -Thank you.

-[Se-kyung] Mm-hmm. -I really appreciate it.

[Se-kyung] Get some rest, then.

-Is there really a cat in there, Ms. Jin? -Sh! Be quiet, please.

-[Ha-yul] I wanna pet it. -Let's leave them alone for now.

-She needs to rest for a while. -When can we come back?

-Let's play with the kitty later. -[Ha-yul] It's soft, isn't it?

-It was adorable. -It's so fluffy.

[laughs] You kids are cuter though.

All right, come on. Keep going up. That's it.

-[Jin-seo] We're going. -Can you skip a stair each step?

[Ha-yul] I can skip two at a time. Watch.

Oh! Ji-eun?

-Ji-eun? Oh. -Oh!

Hi there.

Okay.

Uh…

I guess, uh, everyone's here for confession.

Wait, Ji-eun. What's your greatest sin?

What sin? [laughs nervously]

Uh… I only wanted something that's new to do.

Yeah. Course. Huh.

[wistful music playing]

-Noona. -[sighs contentedly]

Oh. Where's Se-kyung?

In the hideout with the trio.

[Mi-ryeong] Ah.

So, uh… Min-ho…

Are you guys doing all right? Oh!

[Yun-sang sighs]

Nothing is all right.

But you know,

I'm just trying to stay positive until we're reunited again.

I guess that's how Se-kyung always seems to stay strong, right?

You need to leave.

That's why you came back, right? Take her with you.

You and Se-kyung have to leave, okay?

Noona.

[wistful music continues]

Nobel laureate in the making and a hero in this town.

-Mess sergeant? -Yeah?

[In-a] Why are there only seven fertilized eggs?

[woman] Captain, give me some credit. Seven eggs is a lot.

You know the salt water trick?

So I put all of the eggs in concentrated salt water.

-[In-a] Mm-hmm. -The eggs that sank, I took out.

I need to monitor these for eight more days.

What do you think?

-You're using salt water? -Mmm.

[inhales sharply] Is that method actually effective?

[whimsical music playing]

Wow, I don't know. I certainly hope so.

I'm hoping that these babies will all hatch later on.

And then, as adults, they'll lay eggs of their own,

and they'll give us a good, steady supply of protein.

Huh.

The soldiers look terrible.

The shortage is getting worse.

Though I heard the command sergeant say

that a box of sausages are coming in for us.

I'm not holding my breath though.

[In-a] Sergeant First Class, So Ju-yeon.

Yeah?

Why

is this one named In-a?

[shushing]

Please don't talk like that. The babies can hear you.

Sure thing.

[whimsical music continues]

[patting on back]

I think it needs a different name.

You can't just change their names. It'll confuse them.

"Chun-sik"? Why that?

'Cause it's my dad's name.

So Chun-sik.

IN-A, MIMI, AJI, BBOBBO

[Ji-eun] So, Father, uh, let's just say, hypothetically…

I got…

I got knocked up.

[breathes nervously]

Uh,

should I have the baby?

[emotional music playing]

[Sung-jae] The life that we live

is the will of the Lord.

[sniffles]

Thank you for that.

Amen.

[Ms. Oh] I've been plagued with thoughts of jealousy for a while now.

It's been challenging to be happy for those with the means to leave.

I even find myself thinking about stealing.

Father, are you listening?

Yes, please continue.

I have another confession.

Um…

So, uh…

back when Father Baek was still here, I donated a lot to the church

because I know how important the church extension fund is.

But now that we're in this situation,

all I want, all I'm thinking about is getting that money back.

Um, I guess I just feel really guilty, and, uh, it's torturing,

and I feel awful having these thoughts.

I don't know what to do about it.

Listen to me. Um…

Yeah?

[Sung-jae] Sister, what we must always remember is…

Remember that…

the Lord is always here right by our side.

But, Father, I sometimes feel that God only cares about the wealthy people.

That is, uh… I want to…

[sighs]

I don't know why I have these thoughts. I don't wanna doubt him.

So… I humbly repent.

[music fades]

[sighs] Father, a tough day, huh?

I've been waiting for you for hours.

You're here for confession?

Are you kidding? Law-abiding citizen, right here.

[chuckles] Sure.

Well?

Hong Gi-pyo.

That idiot showed up earlier.

What?

Wow! That guy's as shameless as ever.

Yeah, he kept apologizing earlier today.

But we know he has other reasons.

How could that ba--

[sighs]

Forgive me.

And please, though they are lost, forgive these lambs as well. Amen.

[Sung-jae sighs]

So what did he want?

If he actually felt bad, he wouldn't ambush you like that.

[nun] Why aren't you rehearsing for the Memorial Mass?

Jin-seo isn't here yet? He said he'd be helping out.

[Sung-jae] Oh, right.

[nun] There he is!

-Hello there, Father and Sister. -[Sung-jae] Oh, hi, kids.

-[So-min] Hi, good to see you. -[Ha-yul] Hello.

[Sung-jae] Just give me a minute.

Yeah, okay.

Hmm.

Jin-seo, why are you ringing this now?

-[girls laugh] -[nun sighs]

Huh?

This will be at city hall. It's not like our little church.

We can't be so casual about it all.

We simply cannot have mistakes.

What if I make one anyway?

Then you'll be humiliated, Father.

Sister, have a little faith in the Lord's believers.

[chuckles]

Oh, Yun-sang. Should I mention international politics in my sermon?

Help me out here, please.

Don't you know a lot about that kind of stuff?

Just don't.

You have no business talking about politics.

Yeah, you're right.

Oh, and about the liturgy that day.

I think Sister Sophia from the eighth district can handle it.

[nun] Sure. They will choose the lector, as well.

[Sung-jae] Okay.

Uh, I'm worried about the choir. They haven't had enough time to practice.

I think I'll have to meet with Brother Kang Joseph.

[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

[nun] Can I help you?

[Gi-pyo] I'm here for confession.

-Uh, Sung-jae. Hi. -[nun] Are you in the congregation?

[Gi-pyo] Congregation? I'm not.

[nun] Uh, then you need to go to the Education Center.

They'll help you out, okay?

They have a lot of courses and resources there.

[Ha-yul] There are courses there?

Wow! Sister's got sales skills.

[Gi-pyo] Oh, Jesus!

Yun-sang!

Now what?

I have no interest in anything you wanna say to me.

Look, I'm telling you, man. You need to consider this proposal.

I'm not only here to apologize to you. Okay, Yun-sang?

Besides, you know what it's like. Seniors in any lab are bound to be evil.

I know I did you wrong, but I went through the same thing myself.

What is it that you want?

[Gi-pyo sighs]

Like I said.

I'm sorry for what I did. Mm-hmm, yeah.

[exhales sharply]

All right, fine.

When I was in charge of Professor Hong's project,

I took 30 million won. Happy?

I took the money and framed you for it, so you up and left for California.

Can you get to the point already?

I left for California to get away from you.

Okay.

I apologize once again.

-[Yun-sang sighs] -What do you want from me?

Should I get on my knees again?

[laughing]

[sighs]

You are still so naive, aren't you?

[laughs]

You haven't heard this yet,

but our entire lab is relocating to a safety zone.

And listen,

you are the most important person in this operation. We need you!

Do you know why you had to go through all those things? To go off into hiding?

[pensive music playing]

You were out of touch. You were just a little lab nerd.

Do you even know where and how your research is being used?

You don't, do you?

Well, I'll tell you. For nothing.

Nothing.

Isn't that such a waste?

But no more, hmm?

The global funds have their eyes on this project.

Know who's organizing?

One of the Vatican's top investment groups.

The asteroid crisis made them tons of money.

Just about everyone is interested in this.

Even in Korea, all the elites are talking about this, Yun-sang!

They're crazy… [mumbles] …about your work!

I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't trust you.

It doesn't have anything to do with trusting me. It's about the truth, huh?

All of these powerful people left or suddenly vanished.

What?

[Gi-pyo] Don't you find that strange?

Where do you think they are?

The mayor, for example.

Better yet… your godfather.

Yeah, the honorable Father Baek.

Do you really think he's missing?

[pensive music continues]

[music fades]

[woman] Ooh! Oh!

Uh… Oh, uh…

Hey, hey, hey! In-a, In-a!

[grunts] Roll it down!

Come on!

[moans] You're not even going to say hello?

You and that temper of yours.

Hello, Ma. What do you need?

I know you saw me just now.

How busy can you be, huh?

I'm right here, and you can't even say hello?

You're expecting far too much from me.

[scoffs]

[groans]

How did I raise a daughter like that?

Good God.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

All this alcohol and no medicine in the hospitals.

You don't want one?

Mmm, I'm okay.

Did any of you happen to meet the family of the girl in 306?

I had no idea the place was still occupied.

She lives right next door, but I had never even seen her before this.

Apparently, they sent their son to an alternate school far away.

Their daughter's away too.

-[Se-kyung] Oh! -[Mi-ryeong] Mmm.

She goes to a science academy. I think that's why no one's ever at home.

Wow!

You all just love to gossip, don't ya?

I heard you from all the way outside.

[Mi-ryeong] The family that used to live in 306

was the one involved in that pyramid scheme incident.

[nun] That's right.

The father of that family came to see Father Baek directly.

[Mi-ryeong] They had a son, and Min-ho was so excited

to have another friend in the neighborhood,

but the boy suddenly left one day.

[nun] I heard a rumor that the mother was the one who ran the pyramid scheme.

[Mi-ryeong] It was the mother?

I had no idea that they even had a daughter.

[unsettling music playing]

[Yun-sang] Even Hong Gi-pyo knows about this.

You're telling me that you, of all people, know nothing?

[Yun-sang sighs]

Hyung.

Is Father Baek actually missing?

Just 'cause you can't reach him doesn't mean he's gone.

Yun-sang, what's going on? You're scaring me.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

Are you being honest, hyung?

You're lying to me, aren't you?

Hey, Yun-sang. Wait!

Yun-sang, you can't just barge into Father Baek's room like that!

Calm down.

Why would I ever hide anything from you, okay?

I'm also confused. I wish I had something to hide.

What do you know, then?

Hey, Ha Yun-sang!

Hey!

You don't think I've been losing sleep over all of this?

Yun-sang, if Father Baek were actually here and alive like you say he is,

do you think he would've left us like this?

Huh?

Listen to me!

[Sung-jae crying]

[music fades]

[Yun-sang] Oh. In-a's bike.

[door opens]

[Yun-sang] Se-kyung.

Ah. [chuckles]

Look.

It's empty. She ate it all.

And a note saying, "Thank you for the amazing meal."

That's nice.

It's all okay.

You see? No need to worry.

Yeah, I know.

[both laugh]

Good night.

I'll see you in the morning.

Get some rest.

See you.

-[Yun-sang] Uh, good night. -Yeah.

[door lock clicks]

[Yun-sang sighs]

[keypad beeping]

[door rattling]

[keypad beeping]

[keypad beeping]

-[Sung-jae] Damn it! -[banging at door]

-Stop it right now! -[startled] Ah!

You're not allowed to open that door!

Unless there's a fire.

[Sung-jae sighs]

It's Father Baek's room.

He's the only one with the passcode.

[nun sighs]

[Sung-jae sighs]

[nun] What do you think?

About Father Baek, I mean.

-What? -"Father Baek's dead."

"He's been kidnapped."

"Father Baek abandoned us and left for a safety zone."

[Sung-jae sighs]

[Sung-jae] Perhaps I've been a little too obtuse.

As a human being and as a priest.

[nun groans]

Wait. Hold on.

What are you even talking about right now?

I've placed Father Baek on this pedestal for so long that I perhaps now…

[sighs]

That I've been too willfully ignorant in all of this.

[nun] Maybe it's a good thing.

You know the saying.

It's good to stay ignorant.

You have the privilege of doing nothing.

[chuckles]

A privilege indeed.

[chuckles]

[Sung-jae] As your loyal servant,

I pray that tomorrow never comes!

-[Sung-jae sighs] -What's his problem?

I'm standing right here, you know? Sheesh.

[keypad beeping]

[keypad beeping]

[siren wailing in distance]

[man on PA] This is Martial Law Command.

The curfew has been lifted.

The current date and time is August 17, 2025, 5:00 a.m.

Dear Woongcheon citizens, your safety is our number one concern.

We hope you have a safe day.

[door closes]

[woman] Father?

[mysterious music playing]

[Young-ji crying]

[man] Disaster has always brought about new beginnings.

Once darkness passes, a brilliant light will shine.

Only those who are prepared may evade the calamity.

-At world's end, we shall find salvation. -[Jeong-a] Chae Young-ji.

[Young-ji gasping]

[sighs]

[cat meows]

-Tae-mi. -[phone ringing]

[phone continues ringing]

[ringing echoes]

WOOYANG TRAINING CENTER

[theme music continues]

[Father Baek] Young-han's playing is getting better and better by the day.

[man] Hmm. I wanted to see Young-ji too.

[Jeong-a] She says she's not feeling well.

[Father Baek] Mm-hmm.

Father, we cannot take them all.

We still need to get Ha Yun-sang.

Oh, of course. Um, that's true.

[man] I put my trust in you, Father.
