Hellbound (지옥)

SODO QUICK LOAN

Deacon Yuji, we located Kang Junwon's car.

It was found near a port in Incheon.

He bought cigarettes with his credit card at a convenience store near the port.

He must have stowed away on a ship.

He borrowed money from loan sharks and fell into debt because of gambling,

and fled to another country abandoning his wife and child.

How can he be so irresponsible?

He deserves to be damned.

Deacon Yuji,

we located the sinner, Kim Yeongseok,

who recently received the decree at a supermarket.

He was hiding in a motel in Cheonan.

Let's head there right now.

Have a safe trip back.

Does this mean I gave birth to a sinner?

Is that it?

Did I do something wrong?

What should we do?

Junwon.

What's going to happen to you?

What will happen? What are you going to do?

People from Sodo will take care of things for me.

They will make it look like I vanished without a trace.

SODO

A PLACE WHERE RITUALS FOR HEAVENLY GODS WERE PERFORMED IN THE SAMHAN PERIOD

SODO

RECORDS ON SODO CAN BE FOUND IN HISTORICAL TEXTS SUCH AS THE BOOK OF THE LATER HAN…

SODO WAS CONSIDERED A SACRED AREA WHERE RELIGIOUS RITUALS WERE HELD

AND FUGITIVES WHO FLED THERE WERE IMMUNE TO ARREST

What?

Hey, Producer Bae…

I thought you took a day off.

I did.

Hey, have you heard? About Junwon.

What about him?

It turns out… he was addicted to gambling and fell into debt.

Rumor has it that he stowed away on a ship from Incheon to escape the debt.

I never thought he'd do something like that.

So many people vanish without a trace these days.

Hey, you don't gamble, do you?

Where are you going?

-Sinner Kim Yeongseok. -Yes?

Pull yourself together.

Tell us how you received the decree in detail.

Well, it was…

My wife asked me to get some groceries for dinner.

I was at a supermarket--

Everyone knows that you received the decree at a supermarket.

Just tell us when your demonstration will be held.

That… That is…

I was in the liquor section,

and the angel suddenly appeared before me.

Kim Yeongseok, tell us the time of your demonstration.

"You will die six days from now…

at 5:00 p.m."

Six days? When would that be? Isn't that today?

It's happening soon.

Deacons, there isn't much time.

He already confessed his sins. Please take him away.

Are you going to let it happen here?

The government can't spare more in the budget for another sacred site.

Okay, we understand. Don't worry.

We'll take him to headquarters and broadcast his demonstration.

We don't have much time.

Tell headquarters to get ready for the live broadcast.

Contact the sinner's family too.

Noted, sir.

Get moving.

Sinner Kim Yeongseok.

SODO LAUNDRY SERVICE

Where did you get this?

Hey, Misuk.

Youngjae, have you heard about Producer Kang?

-The debate show you were working on… -Sorry?

Some guy was talking about people vanishing.

Yes, why?

Let me watch the clip again.

The government in our times must fulfill its role, even as God's tool.

-You have his number, right? -Yes.

Let me see.

Thanks, Misuk.

THE NEW TRUTH

DEMONSTRATION IN PROGRESS

The chairman is on his way up. Camera number two on standby.

Cue.

This sinner, Kim Yeongseok,

has been operating an illegal gambling house.

He received the decree in a supermarket in front of everyone.

Even after receiving the decree,

he decided to run away instead of confessing his sins.

Where did you try to flee to?

To where?!

Did you think you could deceive God's eyes and run from Him?

Did you?

Look.

Take a good look at your family.

You will now face the demonstration

in front of your family.

And everyone who's watching.

Accept your fate.

All right?

Chairman, we have 30 seconds.

Go to Hell, you sinner!

I can't accept it.

I didn't commit a grave sin.

Honey.

Mom…

I don't sin like that.

Please spare me. Please.

How are the ratings?

One moment.

Real-time viewer ratings have reached 89.3 percent.

Chairman…

I'd like to call for a committee meeting.

-Is it urgent? -Yes.

There's an important matter the committee should address.

All right, then.

I'll call a meeting as soon as the broadcast ends.

You sinner.

As one who has committed sins,

you shall suffer eternal pain in Hell

and reflect on your sins

over and over again!

May you suffer greatly

in the pain of Hell's inferno.

HANKUK UNIVERSITY 2027 ACADEMIC YEAR KICKOFF CEREMONY

SOCIOLOGY, PROFESSOR GONG HYEONGJUN

What is this?

What a pain in the ass.

-Let go of me! -Producer Bae.

Didn't I tell you to forget about what you witnessed yesterday?

If you tell us now,

we won't make your daughter witness your demonstration.

Your daughter would love to see you being torn to pieces.

Sir…

My daughter is still too young.

Spit it out now.

Well…

The video of me receiving the decree

went viral online so fast.

So I decided to run away.

I don't know how they found me,

but I got a call from them.

Who are you referring to?

The rumored organization…

that helps those who received the decree vanish before the New Truth finds them.

What did they say?

They told me that they could help me disappear without anyone knowing.

So I told them

I would think about it.

Then a little later,

I found that business card in this motel room.

SODO LAUNDRY SERVICE

The New Truth claims

that only sinners are subjected to the demonstration,

but that's a lie.

It is more like a supernatural disaster that cannot be explained.

Jung Jinsu simply gave meaning to this random event

by calling it God's will.

So…

are you saying you're hiding those who received the decree?

Yes.

It's to prevent the New Truth from getting what they want

and to protect the bereaved from being stigmatized.

That's the best we can do for them at this point.

How do you find people who receive the decree?

We can't find all of them.

It's easy to identify those who received the decree in public.

In that case, we need to find them before the New Truth does.

On the other hand, those who receive the decree in private

show similar behavioral patterns.

For example, the things they search for after receiving the decree.

They repeatedly search for certain terms on the New Truth app

and once we notice the pattern, we try to get in contact with them.

How is that even possible?

We use the backdoor the New Truth has planted.

Our members are everywhere.

The police, telecomm groups, search engine companies…

Even at your TV station.

There are some who engage in illegal activities.

Most of them are family of the subjects

or hold a grudge against the Arrowhead.

Isn't it a bit too dangerous?

Half the world are followers of the New Truth.

What do you think Chairman Kim Jeongchil would do if he receives the decree?

He would turn to us first.

Once the tables are turned and you become the one being judged,

you realize that humans

should have the right to die alone.

In three days,

at 9:30 p.m. …

-Please help me. -… you are bound for Hell.

I was going to call that woman some time today.

That woman?

I'm sure you've heard of her.

Her name is Min Hyejin.
