Save Me (2017–2019): Season 1, Episode 15 - Episode #1.15 - full transcript

THE SHIP OF SALVATION
SHALL MAKE YOU WHOLE

SAVE ME

I ask you to just wait a little longer
until I can truly accept you.

I shall wait until the fruit is ripe.

Don't swallow any more pills
Apostle Kang gives you.

That way, Sang-mi can survive.

Since when did demons
start swarming this place?

Put her inside.

Gooseonwon! That place is infamous
on Internet broadcasting sites.

Internet broadcasting?

You used to go to the church
from the Daegu stream earlier?



Do you finally get the picture
of who it is you messed with?

I think they've caught Jeong-hoon.

It seems we will have to test

whether the Spiritual Mother-to-be
can really become the Spiritual Mother.

With the fire of the Mighty New Sky!

With the scorching fire!

Hong... So... rin.

Do your best.

If you cross that mountain,

you'll find a stream with a small bridge.

Go meet my friend there and get his help.

EPISODE 15

It seems the Mighty New Sky
really loves me.

How funny running into you here.



Don't you agree, Journalist Hong So-rin?

Stop! Don't do this!

Don't do this, please!

Don't do this!

Please! Don't!

Why did you come to Gooseonwon?

You went to a good college
and became a journalist.

If your parents knew this is what you'd
been doing, they would be so heartbroken.

Don't you think so?

I hope you receive salvation
in the New Sky.

Dong-chul, I'm here,
but there's no sign of that journalist.

I think something must've happened to her.

I'll report her missing.

When I do, they'll try to cover it up,

and that could lead to them
getting caught.

Hello?

Sang...

hwan.

Mom?

It's... Mom...

Then Hong So-rin got out of here safely?

Yeah, but...

Sang-hwan hasn't met with her yet,
so I'm kind of worried.

Let's wait until we hear
from Sang-hwan, for now.

Excuse me. We shall be blessed.

Spiritual Mother,
you haven't seen Apostle Kang, have you?

Why do you ask?

She's supposed to lead the night service,
but she isn't here yet.

I shall lead it tonight.

As you all know...

for the past three years...

I was a sinner.

In front of all of you,
I doubted and hated the Mighty New Sky

and Spiritual Father. However...

-Jo Wan-tae isn't here.
-...Mighty New Sky and Spiritual Father...

Could he have...

...chose me...

to be the Spiritual Mother of Gooseonwon.

Brothers and sisters of Gooseonwon,

thanks to the Mighty New Sky
and Spiritual Father,

I have now been reborn a new person.

I am so happy right now.

Has he changed his clothes?

They're different from before.

The thought of becoming

the Spiritual Mother and meeting
the Mighty New Sky warms my heart so much

that I can't contain it!

I believe! I believe!

Everybody, do you believe that I

will atone for, and cleanse you

of your sins?

I believe! We shall be blessed!

In that case,

let us all give a hugely thankful
round of applause

to the Mighty New Sky
and Spiritual Father,

who have blessed us with grace here!

I need to check what he's been up to.

Hey, Man-hee. How's Jeong-hoon doing?

Thankfully, it's nothing serious.

We've got the diagnosis report as proof,

so we'll head
to the police station tomorrow.

Okay. Take care of Jeong-hoon
for tonight, yeah?

I'll see you at the station tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

If you build a large hospital
with a nursing home,

the public will no longer oppose you,
and will welcome it.

So, this is what Baek Jeong-gi wanted.

If we use this man effectively,

we can keep Mr. Cheon
and Assemblyman Park in check,

while also increasing our opportunity
to gain votes.

And I think

it will be a good idea
to move your wife somewhere else.

What do you mean by that?

It appears Sang-hwan has gone to Gooseonwon
and has caused a ruckus.

I got a call from them.

And it seems that he's been going
to the police station

and meeting with Chief Lee.

Is that so? Because he's my son...

I underestimated him as being just a kid.

If we keep ahold of your wife...

Sang-hwan won't be able to do anything.

Mom! Mom!

Mom. Mom, did you move by yourself?

Your... father...

Can you hear him?

Fuck!

Man-hee.

I need a favor from you.

Get my mom out of the hospital

and take her to my uncle's place.

Okay. I got it. See you soon.

What is it? Is there a problem?

I have to go out for a while.

Can you keep an eye on him
until I get back?

I'm late for work.

Us making noise here
will just disturb him.

We should let him rest properly.
Let's leave him alone.

Okay.

Spiritual Mother-to-be.

Why...

are you clearing up this room?

Apostle Jo told us to clear it.

Sorry, excuse me.

Yes?

Apostle Kang is looking for you both.

It's okay, you may go.

It seemed to be urgent.

In that case, we'll be back soon.

Okay.

Did he find the journalist?

I think that... something happened to her.

It was the same as back then.

When Jeong-gu died...

they cleaned up his room just like now.

These people...

don't bat an eyelid

when it comes to killing someone.

MOOJI JOURNAL/MOOJI BROADCASTING

Sang-hwan,

I think something's happened
to that journalist.

I'm at Mooji Daily now.
I'll check right away.

Here they are.
The clothes he wore earlier.

What's this?

BIXIE KARAOKE BAR

They're wet.

He did change his clothes.

If you cross that mountain,
you'll find a stream with a small bridge.

The stream...

You really haven't heard anything
from Hong So-rin?

That's what I told you.
Why are you back here?

I know everything.

She escaped from Gooseonwon a little
while ago and was meant to meet me,

but I couldn't find her
and she hasn't been reached.

Is that true?

You need to report her missing
to the police first.

The Chief of Police and Gooseonwon are on
the same side, so they could dismiss it.

If they do, please write an article
on how she went missing

while reporting undercover in a cult.

Gooseonwon and the police chief
are on the same side?

Not just the police chief.

My father is also involved with them.

Governor Han, too?

This...

Do you really think
you can break this story?

You'd be bringing the downfall
of your own father.

If I tell you...

that I can't do it,

will you be able to hide the truth,
now that you know it?

Hey, Man-hee.

What?

Have you lost your mind recently? Go back
to Seoul if you're going to cause trouble.

What did you do to Mom?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I moved her to a better hospital.

-I'm worried about her, so I...
-You're worried?

Father.

Do you know what this is?

This is your mother's voice recorder.

Very good.

But why did you bring it here?

You've...

been saying quite a lot to Mom.

Do you know how it made me feel...

when I pushed you back then?

That thrill when you slaughter an animal.

That's when I realized just how much

I hated you.

The terrible things...

you did to her...

The kind of cruel person you are...

I'm going to expose it all.

Sang-hwan.

I think there's been
a big misunderstanding here...

Misunderstanding?

You continue to lie,
even when the evidence is right here?

Give that to me, okay?

No.

Father...

for all the things
you've done until today...

you're going to pay the price.

Sang-hwan!

Are you really going to threaten me?

Governor.

How has this happened?

If he knows that we have
ahold of his mother...

he won't be able to expose this.

We've come...

We've come too far to let that
voice recorder get released to the world.

Ji-hee.

You're right.

We're in the same boat, aren't we?

If I go down, so do you.

Do you get that?

Hello, governor.

Chief Lee, we need to unleash your hound.

Whom do you want them to hunt down?

Han Sang-hwan.

My son.

Sorry?

Welcome. Are you looking for someone?

Did Mr. Jo leave anything behind?

Mr. Jo? Who?

Mr. Jo Wan-tae.

-Wan-tae baby.
-Yes.

He didn't leave anything.

That's odd.

He said that he left his wallet here
a little while ago

and asked me to come get it.

He does come by often...

but he hasn't been here today.

I guess he's forgetful
because he drinks so much.

I'm sorry, I'll be going, then.

Wait! You're quite cute. Stay for a drink.

I'll come by next time with Mr. Jo.
I'm sorry.

You will?

BIXIE

Sang-hwan.

I know you're looking for your mother.

Hand over the recorder.

Then I'll take you to her.

If you...

lay a single finger on my mom,

you'll live to regret it.
Do you understand?

The prince of Mooji.

Whoa, there.

I think you have business with me.

Stay out of my way.

If you bother me, you're dead.

If you hand over this recorder
or whatever, then we'll be finished here.

I told you to stay out of my way.

Little punk.

Sang-hwan!

Sang-hwan, are you okay?

Did the people who moved my mom

happen to say which hospital they went to?

The governor's aide
said it was ordered by him,

so we didn't question it.

I'm afraid we don't know.

Sang-hwan.

The reason

I'm running for governor again
is for your mother.

If I become governor,

she will no doubt get better again.

Three years ago,

I made the wrong choice

because of my mom, so...

I couldn't help Sang-mi...

nor Dong-chul.

Neither of them.

I don't want to...

regret the same thing again.

For now...

we should go to the police
and Gooseonwon first.

Yeah.

Hello.

If you're listening to this recording,
Father...

that means you've done something
you shouldn't have.

Father. I trusted you completely.

But now I realize

just how dangerous

misplaced trust can be,
and how much pain it can put...

so many people in.

Damn!

You can't come in here.

It's too late. Come back tomorrow.

Move out of the way!

What do you think you're doing?
We're telling you, you can't!

SPIRITUAL FATHER'S OFFICE

You two, please leave here.

-But, Spiritual Father...
-It's okay.

I have Apostle Im with me here.

Okay.

Please come in.

Sergeant Woo is like a father to me.

I lost my father in a car accident
when I was young

and lived with my sick mom.

So, he even paid
my university tuition fees.

I see.

So, you must be in deep gratitude to him.

-Don't you think so, Apostle Im?
-Yes.

Officer Woo has such a pure soul.

Which must be why he's been chosen
by the Mighty New Sky.

You people are utterly insane!

Mr. Baek,

you know very well what it is
that I'm talking about.

If you use Sergeant Woo
like this one more time,

I won't just stand by and do nothing.

Do you understand?

Officer Choi,

I think you're mistaken about something.

Mistaken?

Apostle Im,

would you mind leaving us two alone
for a moment?

Of course.

Officer Woo has brought us

dozens of homeless people over the years.

Would you be okay...

if that father-like figure
were to get hurt because of you?

What?

That wouldn't be all.

I imagine the shock

to his son and wife would also be great.

Then...

would Officer Woo
be able to fully accept criticism...

from his family, and from the world?

If...

he were to make the wrong choice...

do you think you would be able...

to cope with all of this?

If you truly think of him as a father,

return quietly.

That is the way you can repay Officer Woo

for all his kindness.

It's okay.

Raise your head, and look at me.

Quickly, now.

The Mighty New Sky shall now make
great use of you, brother.

If you listen carefully to me

and finish up this job nicely,

then you shall leave this place...

and ascend to the New Sky.

Do you understand?

Leave...

here?

Satan has disguised himself
as a female police officer...

and is wandering around
in the outside world.

Satan...

Female police officer.

Satan... Female police officer!

Do not be afraid.

You only need to...

believe in me.

Hello, governor.

Have you been well?

Oh, my, who is this?

Is it you, Spiritual Father?

What's the problem at this hour?

I just finished my nighttime prayers,

and I thought of you.

Goodness, is that so?

Recently

the public protests against you

must be very upsetting for you.

As I was praying,

the Mighty New Sky told me to help you fix

the problems you face.

Oh, my, really?

From what I hear,

there are many members of Gooseonwon

involved in the protests.

At times like this,

it's my mission to lead

my believers on the right path.

Then how can I show my thanks?

Listen here, you lunatic.

I need

a loyal gatekeeper of faith

who can defend the Mighty New Sky.

What is it?

There's a place outside of town
called Gooseonwon.

I need you to stay there
until things quiet down.

Did you say, "Gooseonwon"?

Why? Do you know it, too?

There's a place called Gooseonwon
20 minutes outside of town.

We have a great chapel there.
Come by sometime.

I'll make you into a clean man.

Do you want me to go there and repent?

Don't do anything unnecessary.

Keep watch on a "Baek Jeong-gi"
until the governor gives orders.

Goodness, is the governor...

trying to become a god or something now?

What a greedy guy.

Is there anyone here who isn't greedy?

Take this, Officer Woo.

Someone's disappeared.
I need you to find her.

Who?

A girl called "Hong So-rin."
She's a journalist.

A journalist?

The Mooji Daily reported
a female reporter missing. Is it her?

-Yes.
-She's related to Gooseonwon, too?

Her cover was blown
while undercover there,

so they imprisoned her,
but she managed to escape.

But then she went missing
by the stream nearby Gooseonwon.

For goodness' sake.

I'll start investigating
Gooseonwon tomorrow morning.

For real?

So, come with me tomorrow and tell me
where your friend was imprisoned.

Okay.

Just a minute.

Dong-chul, I need to see you now.

Dong-chul!

I'm going with the police to where
Jeong-hoon was locked up.

Jeong-hoon said that

he saw others locked up there,

and even saw people die there.

But these people

know that Jeong-hoon
will talk to the police,

so they will probably
remove all the evidence.

You're right. I'm worried about that, too.

If we...

fail tomorrow, I'll reveal my identity
and let them capture me,

then try to find the other
locked-up prisoners.

-That's way too dangerous.
-There's no other choice now.

We have to do it like this.

We don't know what
Sang-mi's thinking anymore.

Oh, Jeong-hoon. What's up?

Did my dad go out somewhere?

He's out on patrol.
Isn't he answering his phone?

No, no. I just popped in while passing by.

No, good timing.

I need to use the toilet.
Wait here, would you?

Sure.

Mom's birthday.

My birthday?

What's this?

What are you doing here?

I just stopped by.

Why haven't you been answering?
Where are you?

Jeong-hoon. You head on home first.

If you want to know
where that journalist went,

come look for me quietly.

You're awake now?

You were working together with them.

We weren't working. They're my friends.

What do you want?
Why do you keep interfering with our work?

Do you really believe
that Spiritual Father is your savior?

Or... is that what you want to believe?

The other believers here told me.

That you also... gave your daughter
to be the Spiritual Mother.

Did your daughter also say

that the Spiritual Father was real?

-What do you know...
-If you really

believe that he is going to save you,

then you can go and tell him
who I really am.

But if you want to see

whether the Spiritual Father
is real or fake...

then watch carefully.

We're going to expose to everyone...

that he's a fake.

The Mighty New Sky shall
make this place anew once more.

Isn't that right, Oh Mighty New Sky?

You shall burn this place

of its filthy sins with scorching fire...

and start everything anew...

won't you?

Gyeong-hye.

Gyeong-hye, look.

You've got this all wrong...

-Gyeong-hye...
-Why did you do it?

You said to be careful with what you eat.

No, that's not it...

Please!

Turn yourself in.

Gyeong-hye,
I didn't plan on this happening.

It just somehow ended up like this.

Gyeong-hye!

Sergeant!

You are the devil!

You need to die
so we can go to the New Sky.

Sergeant, are you okay?
Just hold on a moment!

I'm going to smash everything.

Father! Father!

What happened to him?

Don't worry. He's lucky, so he can
be discharged from the hospital.

Are you okay?

Could you leave us alone for a moment?

Take a seat here.

Jeong-hoon.

You...

won't hate me, will you?

Why would you say something like that?

Jeong-hoon.

Listen to me very carefully, now.

I...

But

this person illegally trespassed
onto private property.

Surely we are the victims here?

Yes, you are. Report him.
He'll get a fine.

-Chief, we got nothing.
-What?

It seems he came in here out of curiosity,
and is now lying

because he's worried he'll get in trouble.

Lying? I saw it with my own two eyes!

Hey!

It was a bunker during the Korean War
and we use it for storage.

There's nothing here.
How many times do I have to say it?

Why don't you believe me?

Did you find what you wanted?

It appears we made a mistake.

I apologize for causing a fuss
this early in the morning.

Quite a peculiar relationship we have.

We harbor no ills against you, young man,

yet you do not like what we do here,
and you try

to discredit us.

You snuck in here

last time, too, didn't you?

Because I kept smelling something
rotten from here.

Look here! If you carry on like this,

we shall not stand idly by anymore!

Why? Do you plan to abduct
and imprison me?

-What did you say?
-I shall forgive you.

So, please... leave this place.

Goodness, that is our Spiritual Father.

Just full of forgiveness.

Forgiveness?

Are you seriously forgiving me right now?

Detective, these people are putting on
a charade. They're all working together!

Stop it. That's enough now.

Hey!

You mustn't behave like this here. Leave.

Come on in.

Don't just stand there, sit.

From now on,
Dong-chul and our brother here,

shall stay by my side at all times
and serve me.

-Pardon?
-You have both been given

the role of "Gatekeepers of Faith."

I see.

What are you doing right now?

Apostle Jo, do you have a problem with

the work of the Mighty New Sky?

What do you think you're doing?

Gatekeeping.

How unbelievable.

See you around, Mr. Gatekeeper.

Gatekeeper, gatekeeper, open the gates...
I don't have the keys, so I can't...

Do you see?

Even though one has served
the Mighty New Sky for a long time,

without consistent praying,

the sins of distrust and arrogance

start to grow inside your heart.

On the day of reckoning,

you two shall

ride in first class with me
on the Ship of Salvation.

We shall be blessed.

Why are you here?

The governor must have
hidden a jar of honey here...

because he told me to stay here
and keep watch on that man.

Sang-hwan's dad?

But apparently,

that guy asked the governor
for some protection.

That means he doesn't trust anyone here.

I can tell that Jo Wan-tae fella

has something fishy about him, too.

They're all just the same,
fighting with each other.

-Jo Wan-tae?
-Yeah.

How do you know him?

I saw him once at a karaoke bar.

A karaoke bar?

Joon-gu.

I'm sure you have some idea,

but this isn't any ordinary church.
You gotta watch yourself.

When should I go back?

Apostle Jo!

We shall be blessed.

We shall be blessed.

Dong-chul, why aren't you by the Spiritual
Father's side? You're a gatekeeper.

I'm kind of worried.

I heard the public's making a fuss
over Hong So-rin's disappearance,

so the police might come back
and investigate further.

This is a special place,
so they can't just barge in here.

So, set your mind at ease.

And also,
I'm going to be away for the night,

so call me anytime if there's a problem.
Okay?

It's today.

Sure, okay.

-Take care.
-See you.

I think he's heading to Bixie now.

Hey! He really came.

It's a good thing we listened
to Dong-chul and waited.

Will you be all right?

Come on, since when
did we ever plan things out?

Let's begin.

Hello? Dong-chul?

What else? I'm here to spread
the glory of the Mighty New Sky.

Why? The Spiritual Father?

Why's he looking for me?

I'll call you back soon.

Jo Wan-tae?

Gooseonwon
will soon be under police investigation.

That will also mean the end
of you going around like this, too.

I guess being the prince of Mooji
has made you ignorant and unruly.

Do you think this will go your way?

Gooseonwon is

a special land chosen
by the Mighty New Sky,

so you can't just enter when and how
you please. How many times must I say?

I think things will go my way.

That's what the police say, too.

I guess that attitude
is because of your age.

If they investigate...

do you think they'll find anything?
You saw yourself that nothing was there.

When we find...

the body of the person you killed,

it will be a different story.

-What?
-Last night...

you went to the Mooji stream.

You also met the journalist,
Hong So-rin there.

You dragged her into the stream
and killed her, didn't you?

What bullshit.

You weren't at Gooseonwon

at that time last night.

The clothes you were wearing then
were soaked in muddy water, too.

I heard they found Hong So-rin's shoe
in the stream, too.

Thankfully...

there was a witness who gave a statement.

If we search and find the body,
then you...

will be sent to prison.

Is that so? In that case,

I better check that recording.

Listen here, you ignorant little brat.

I killed Hong So-rin.
I can kill you. It's a piece of cake.

Let me listen to that testimony.
Give me that...

Why, you little...

You punks. You punks.

Let go! Let go!

Hey, stop that!

Get off me, you punks!

You think I killed someone? Me?

Who? You saw it yourself.

These punks were three-on-one against me.

They just came out of nowhere and accused
me of murder whilst assaulting me.

Detective.

I believe in the Mighty New Sky.

Who would I kill?

I killed Hong So-rin.
I can kill you. It's a piece of cake.

Let me listen to...

I lied about there being a witness
who gave a testimony.

He tried to kill me
as soon as I told him that.

And, chief, can you check on that
CCTV camera over there

to see whether we assaulted him
or whether it was self-defense?

-Arrest him.
-Yes, sir.

Wait, detective. That was... I...
What are you doing?

I shall read you your Miranda rights.
You have the right to remain si...

-You have the right to remain silent.
-Stay still!

Don't tell me to stay still!
If I ever catch you little punks... Hey!

-Han Sang-hwan!
-Bring him in.

What are you doing?
I haven't done anything!

Wait till I get my hands on you.
How dare you do this to me!

-Quiet, you!
-You've got it wrong!

We already have you confessing
to Hong So-rin's murder recorded.

I also hear that it was you who ordered

a homeless guy to stab Officer
Choi Gyeong-hye. Why did you do it?

What? Stab who?

He confessed that it was you
who gave the order.

Me?

Baek Jeong-gi.

Jo Wan-tae.

Let's not waste energy
on this pointlessness.

I need to use the restroom.
Looks like things will take a long time.

They said Jo Wan-tae was just arrested.

Really?

Then it was him who...

killed Hong So-rin?

You need to listen
to what I say very carefully.

Go to the Spiritual Father

and tell him who I really am.

-What?
-This is the only way

to flip this place upside down.

What on Earth are you thinking?

Once he finds out
I'm friends with Sang-hwan,

he'll lock me in the underground storage

with the people
that he hid from the police.

Those people are the evidence
we need to reveal the truth.

For that to happen,
you need to tell him my real identity.

That will give him complete trust in you.

No.

It's too dangerous for you. I'll do it.

No. I'll do the best I can...

so you do the same.

Dong-chul.

I'll do as you say,
so please do me a favor, too.

I'm going to...

-have the wedding of the New Sky.
-What?

I'm going to voice record every filthy
thing he does to try and have me.

We don't have any hard evidence like that.

-Sang-mi...
-Baek Jeong-gi,

let me go once already,

but I know he won't this time.

Even if it's by force,

he's going to make me his.

-Have you lost your mind?
-No.

I'm seeing clearly.

I now know for sure...

what I must do.

I need you guys to come to where I am.

So, when he tries...

to make me his,

that's when you help me.

-Do you really have to do this?
-The reason I came back here...

was because...

I no longer fear them

or want to run away.

That's why I shall bring this place down
with my own hands.

So, my brother, my mom,

even my dad
who's gone crazy because of them...

I...

will save them no matter what.

Detective.

What?

I can't pull my pants down
because of the handcuffs.

Do the human thing and help me, would you?

Get him! Stop him!

-Get him!
-Move!

Grab that punk! Hey!

Move!

-Hey!
-Why, that crazy son of a...

Get back here!

Here we are.

Why did you dress up so much?

-I told you to dress comfortably.
-I never knew a place like this existed.

This is heaven. The New Sky.

That's right.

If you join us,
the Spiritual Father can heal you

of all pain and loneliness
you've suffered.

Right.

-Really?
-Let's hurry on up.

Sure, let's go.

I'm sure you're well aware,

but evil has started to fill these walls.

If we don't cleanse
this evil right away...

the Ship of Salvation

could sink.

-Pardon?
-If that happens,

Sang-jin, Sang-mi,

and your wife...

will not be able...

to reach the New Sky.

I... Spiritual Father...

Is there nothing we can do?

After tomorrow's morning service,

I shall...

marry Sang-mi in the wedding of New Sky.

Very well.

Before this evil grows any larger,

please...

get on with the wedding preparations.

I shall. We shall be blessed.

Apostle Kang.

What did the Spiritual Father say?

The Spiritual Father received

a new revelation about the wedding.

Did he... by chance say

that the Ship of Salvation could sink?

Apostle Kang.

Evil has started to fill these walls.

If we don't cleanse
this evil right away...

the Ship of Salvation could sink.

The wedding of the New Sky with Yoo-ra...

must be brought forward.

Apostle Kang.
I shall make the necessary preparations.

Please pray and assist me.

I believe! We shall be blessed!

I believe! We shall be blessed!

I believe! We shall be blessed!

Sang-mi.

Please come forward.

The time has now come.

Tomorrow at dawn...

you and I...

shall become one

through the wedding of the New Sky.

I shall...

serve you.

My savior.

My eternal life.

My...

Spiritual Father.

SAVE ME

Using someone powerless
to fulfill your own desires.

You're no different than a cult.
You and my father,

-you're the same as those cultists!
-You'll find out in due time.

That "fake" and "real"
are actually no different.

If that's the way you live your life...

I will never live like that.

I told you to bring the recorder
if you wanted to see your mom again.

It seems... that she misses you a lot.
