Hellbound (지옥)

THAT DAY…

WAS JUST ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY

Our set menu includes Americanos, any drip coffee or latte…

We have your drinks ready, ma'am.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Hey, wait a second. Don't watch without me.

Thank you.

Firstly…

an angel appears to prophesy.

The angel says the name of the recipient first.

They are then told when they will die, and that they are bound for Hell.

When the time comes,

the executors of Hell…

are going to fulfill the prophecy.

If you're watching this for the first time,

- you may find it shocking. - He looks completely normal.

But why is he bullshitting everyone?

- I couldn't believe it either. - Wait, people actually believe this crap?

Yeah. There are actually a lot of people who believe it.

He has a bunch of videos that back him up on his YouTube channel.

Okay, yeah.

Con men like him can exploit people because of idiots like you.

Don't take this seriously, all right?

Wait, you are taking this seriously, aren't you?

So?

Watch it again and see if you still feel the same.

This is all CGI!

No, it's not.

NOVEMBER 10, THURSDAY

NOVEMBER 10, THURSDAY

- What is happening? - What's going on?

- Sir. - Hey.

You punk! Where do you think you're going?

What the hell?

- Don't move! - Damn it.

- You startled me. Take him away. - It wasn't me! I didn't do it!

Don't be too harsh on the kid.

I didn't expect that.

All right, moving on. We will now begin the case briefing

on the Hapseong Station murder case.

- It occurred on November 10th, 2022… - Hey.

…at a coffee shop near Hapseong Station.

These terrifying creatures appeared out of nowhere and murdered the victim…

Um… Uh, the body ran…

I'm sorry. Sorry, they burnt the body and ran.

And we're currently working on tracking down the suspects.

We have yet to find any evidence at the scene.

We still need to wait for the full autopsy report.

However,

it is clear that the body was burnt to a crisp

- at a very high temperature. - When did it start?

- Here are the preliminary results… - You didn't miss much.

…of the autopsy.

AUTOPSY PHOTOS

We don't have the full results yet,

but the body seems to have been burnt at a very high temperature very quickly.

HELL, GOD, DEATH, THE NEW TRUTH, ANGEL

It's blowing up the Internet.

By reviewing footage…

The chief must be real anxious about this.

…the victim's plate number and were able to identify him.

Joo Myeonghun, age 36.

He lived in a studio apartment that is 15 minutes by car from the coffee shop.

His ex-wife, who he divorced two years ago,

was his only family and he had no kids.

It happened in broad daylight, so we have got tons of witnesses

and video evidence to work with for this case.

Here's one of those clips.

What is that?

We can clearly see a strange creature

brutally murdering the victim in this clip.

What is that?

But we couldn't find any physical evidence at the scene.

"Jung Jinsu. The New Truth"? What are these?

Hey, Kyunghun! Stop looking at your phone! Come on.

He's gonna cover it all!

Let's talk about "The New Truth."

"The New Truth" was formed in 2012,

- and it's recently become... - Ah, that's enough.

All right, everyone listen to me. Eyes up here.

The media, the press, and the Internet, they're all going wild over this case.

- You all need to do your job properly! - Yes, sir.

Strange rumors about the case are already going around among kids out there.

- But is that thing even human? - Just bring it to me!

We'll find out what it is once we have it in custody.

All right, Unit One, go do some legwork and find out more about the victim.

- Yes, sir. - Unit Two, go check the scene.

Interview anyone who was at that coffee shop.

Make sure you don't feed the reporters, you understand?

Otherwise it'll just spread rumors.

And Kyunghun.

- Yeah? - Team up with Eunpyo and find out more

about the New Truth or whatever their name is.

We know they're having a gathering near the crime scene.

It looks like these people are somehow related to this case, all right.

- So you two go and check them out. - Yes, sir.

- Do not incite them. - Fine.

It's better not to mess with religious groups.

- Now, everyone, get to work! - Yes, sir.

Kyunghun.

Can I have a word with you?

Yes, sir?

Look, feel free to let me know if you need some time away from the field.

I'm a detective. What else would I even do with some time off?

That's…

Well, at least try to be on time, then.

"The New Truth."

"Is an organization for religious studies formed by Chairman Jung Jinsu in 2012."

Doesn't really have a long history.

Only been there a little over ten years.

What are you reading?

Oh, this? An online encyclopedia.

It says here, "They have never disclosed the exact number of their members,

but it's assumed that its radical members have formed the Arrowhead."

Wait. "The Arrowhead"?

You mean those punks that leak ex-cons' identities online?

They're in the New Truth?

As far as I know…

the Arrowhead isn't just active online.

I've also heard of them being involved in petty crimes.

- That's interesting. - It says here

that an angel-like figure appears and tells you when you'll go to Hell.

"Angel" and "Hell"? I mean, come on.

Are they saying it's divine retribution?

Yes. "An angel prophesizes the time of death of an individual,

and when the time comes,

executors of Hell demonstrate total damnation, and then quickly disappear."

You know, they say it's some kind of warning to everyone.

So are they saying what we saw earlier is God's work?

Their doctrine is full of holes,

but they attract people through the use of video evidence.

Kids these days learn everything from online videos.

God's work or not, I hope what they say is true.

Why do you say that?

Think about it.

Any time we track down evil bastards and manage to bring them in,

the court always lets them go on stupid grounds.

I'm sorry.

My job is to catch them.

Whether their victim is good or bad, doesn't matter.

Whether they killed to save the world or for fun…

No matter what their reason might be, we catch murderers.

That's all we need to think about.

This way, this way.

Patrol team moving to sector four.

Code two-one moving to sector three.

Code two-one moving to sector three.

Patrol team report position.

I didn't expect to see you at the scene.

Hey, Kyunghun.

The team leader is away on vacation.

And since of course all eyes are on this case,

I didn't have a choice, I had to be here.

You find anything?

Nothing. The witness testified that the creature excreted bodily fluids,

but no traces anywhere at all.

There aren't any footprints either.

Only thing we got are bloodstains.

Look over there.

All of those belong to the victim.

Hmm.

I heard the New Truth is having a gathering here.

Over there.

That might be them.

They've been talking into a microphone for a while.

- See you around. - All right.

See you later, sir.

We need to listen to God's voice starting now.

This person, who lived in a village

- in South East Asia… - Excuse me.

…had received a prophecy from an angel

that he would go to Hell five hours later.

Then…

WHAT IS THE "PURPOSE"?

That was exactly five hours after the prophecy was made.

And then… a few days later,

three bodies were found buried in the man's house.

They were missing persons from unsolved cases.

This was taken in Japan seven years ago.

The person had multiple counts of fraud and also assault.

Nicaragua six years ago.

Guilty of child exploitation and murder.

These very similar looking bodies were all killed in the same exact way

as those you just saw slaughtered in the video,

and they were of criminals.

Narcotics manufacture,

robbery and theft,

fraud,

forcible rape, arson…

Why do people sin?

Those who claim they value humanity,

and that each individual owns themselves

make excuses for themselves.

Because they had a tough childhood,

because of structural inequality,

because they have a mental disorder,

because they were under the influence of drugs and alcohol…

The concept of sin…

exists because humans choose to sin.

As a result of denying that fact,
