Hellbound S1E6
This is the season 1 finale, bois! Get ready for a doozy.
Min strongly urges that the New Truth should never know about their baby receiving a decree and it is urgent that he is with his wife. After Youngjae gets off the phone and tries to phone his wife but the wench refuses to pick up because she is already at the New Truth headquarters!!!!!
His calls and texts are left unanswered. He finally does get a reply back confirming that she is sorry for what is about to do. She contends that she HAS to go to them to figure out why her baby received the decree. Horrified, Youngjae GTFO's out of his office and drives like a bat out of hell.
Deacon Yuji has a private sitdown with the Sohyun. She hands him the hard drive. Too late, now Yuji knows the bombshell. Sohyun thinks that since New Truth have been studying and documenting previous demonstrations that they can totally help her, right? What sin could her newborn possibly be guilty of to be earned a decree? Yuji takes the thumb drive with him and says he will discuss this with the other deacons and excuses himself.
On his way out, he tells staff to make sure that this woman does NOT leave the premises and orders an emergency committee meeting.
Youngjae calls his wife yet again but this time she just sends him to voicemail. What the fuck!
At the committee meeting now everyone including Chairman has seen this video of Toughie being bound for hell. What do you think they should do now? Asks the Chairman to get a general informed opinion of the room. One deacon says idk. Chairman by himself decides that the mother should be separated from the baby and bring in whoever knows about this video to their headquarters.
Youngjae and Min plus her people make their grand entrance. By that I mean, unnoticed.
Toughie starts crying and that is when all the deacons come in and use that as an excuse to rip the baby from Sohyun's arms despite her protests.
Deacon Saechong is attempting to calm down the media and reporters who are asking a statement from the New Truth since The Arrowhead named dropped them in their statement in the last episode.
One guy from Min's group makes a distraction by loudly proclaiming he has a decree that is about to commence in 10 minutes and he is here to confess his sins on New Truth's grounds. Deacons call bullshit and try to detain him but he is just too ninja for them and goes prancing around the building shouting his sins.
The wife is acting hysterical in the hallway (rightfully so) but Youngjae, her knight in shining armor, pops out just in time to battle these baddies along with bad ass Min who whips out her rod thingy and kicks ass. Deacon with the baby runs off. Holy fuck this is a very intense scene. Wife is hot on her tail and is clinging to get her baby back.
Toughie is crying. This is such a hard scene to watch as it is but Youngjae manages to get his baby back in his arms and the whole group runs to the escape car.
When the 10 minutes tick down. Surprise, nothing happens. Give that dude an Oscar because that was funny as fuck.
With Min in the driver's seat she just gives no fucks even while everyone and their mother on the staff tries their darndest to keep the car from leaving. The all manage to escape together. Wow that was intense as fuck.
They drop them off at a safe point.
Chairman goes apeshit on Yuji who he deemed incompetant for letting them all escape. Now he's freaked the fuck out now that Toughie's demonstration is tomorrow and that is the world sees his demonstration, this is cause the whole entire fucking world into craziness. He proceeds to 100% give his unapologetic blessing for them to use The Arrowhead at whatever cost if it means to unfuck their incompetence.
Min, Youngjae, Sohyun and Toughie arrive at a safe point. They knock at a guy's door who is a trusted ally and welcomes them all in.
The three sit down while the man brings them coffee. Min urges to the couple that they must make a decision but must do so quickly. Should they decide to broadcast Toughie's demonstration to the world, then this will help a lot of lost souls and crumble the New Truth empire. The man who brings them coffee reveals that he has a decree himself and in his own words while shocked and appalled that this curse is a blessing in disguise.
Sohyun decides to give her approval.
Now that it's set, Min sets the plan in motion to create a video statement to the world. The man also offers to help to upload the statement to his channel to help spread awareness He used to be a live streamer.
Man, this is just so sad.
She goes live and shows the cell phone footage of Toughie receiving the decree. As Min is giving her statement, it is implied that the man is a double agent. There was something suspicious in his closet and he perked up when Min said that the demonstration is going to be in a few hours from now. They can never catch a break, can they?
New Truth deacons are cuddled up around the campfire and just got done watching Min's video. Chairman is like...well fuck.
Deacons are at a loss and some even disagreeing with each other how to go about this. Claiming photoshop is pretty fruitless but regardless, it is causing great disarray within the group.
Min hands the phone off to Youngjae informing him that they take them someplace safe for demonstration. After he heads off to another room with the phone, is when Min has a 1 on 1 with Sohyun expressing sorrow that it has to come to this. Somber words get spoken from Sohyun.
The man steps out eerily and has a flashback. Yup, this mothafucka is none other than that wacko Arrowhead livestreamer with the ridiculous wig and the neon colors. The second his livestream was concluded is when the angel appeared to deliver his decree for hell!!!! Why did this not click for everyone else in that room, including myself? Jesus christ...Mothafucka is a double agent.
Chairman gets a phone call from da double agent who is on speaker with all the deacons who confirms he has Min and the baby in his apartment. He explains that he was a faithfull follower of the New Truth ever since Jung was the chairman.
Looks like this is the first time he had admitted to it but on the phone he says it was actually 3 years ago when he got that decree. He swears up and down he has not done a darn thing sinful to warrant a decree. He claims to follow the doctrine to the letter sooo what even??? Today is that day of the demonstration. His demonstration is actually 5 minutes after Toughie's!
In an effort to manipulate him further, Chairman calmly says HE is trying to cover up HIS mistake though him and he should be honored to strengthen that message. He is the MESSIAH. This dope believes it. After buttering his biscuits, he asks for his location.
BUUUUUUUT
Things don't go as planned as double agent livestreamer dude takes this messiah thing a little TOO MUCH to heart and has an ego trip and tells him to go fuck himself because this is HIS mission to fulfill, not his and yeets his phone into an alleyway.
Deacons scramble for a solution that not only can they track GPS to the last known location but they can inform the police and send an all points bulletin that there is a sinner on the loose. PERFECT! Now get to work! Everyone gets moving. Except for Yuji, he just walks like Terminator's T-1000. Kinda hot, actually.
Things are starting to get a little suspicious for Min as she is trying to get a hold of the dude.
In no time, Yuji and the rest of the Deacons indeed swiftly get to the location of the phone but with no sign of the "messiah".
Youngjae in hot pursuit comes across a man bleeding on the ground. He asks him what happened but the man is unable to speak and ultimately succumbs to his injuries. The cackling of the man reveals himself and he has totally gone mentally insane. Youngjae of course being appalled at the grand reveal of his identity. The man is clearly unhinged and goes on to blabber more blabber. Youngjae begs him to comes to his senses but that's like telling a baby not to cry. The dude is just so far up his own ass with such an ego. He makes a mad dash at him but has a taser but he overcomes and knocks Youngjae out. He is now on the hot pursuit to kill Sohyun and her baby but Min manages to intercept, allowing the window for them to escape.
Sohyun runs out and to her horror, all that commotion has led to everyone in the entire complex to come out of their homes to see the ruckus. This is when Sohyun decides to do the hardest thing in her life and tells the people what they are about to witness is the demonstration of her little baby, Toughie. She tearfully lays him on the ground and walks away as the time starts the tick down.
Dongwook is choking the life out Min but she gets the upperhand and knocks him out finally. She runs outside and sees Sohyun's intent. Just a few seconds later...the dreaded rumble.
They are here.
As the supernatural grey blobs are there standing menacingly they abruptly run towards the newborn baby. Sohyun looks in horror BUT makes a last second decision to grab Toughie at the last second and runs as fast as she can in her limited atrium. Youngjae runs to his wife's aid. Both him and Min try to fight against the supernatural entities but I mean, they never had a chance, they just swat them aside.
Sohyun's maternal instinct to continue to shield the baby and dodge the entities proves fruitless they are now the ones being tossed around like ragdolls. The battered and bruised Youngjae fears the worst and he grabs a plastic tube and wraps it around Sohyun and holds her and the baby tight as the entities are slowly approaching. Once the entities march over to them, they do the trinity blow to mark the final light that they see.
All that is left is their singed bodies.
Everyone watching, while many are livestreaming are gasping in terror what they just saw. Min takes this extremely hard and yells in anger. Until...crying?
Toughie is crying?!?! THE BABY IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Back to the conscious world, Dongwook slowly makes his way to the burnt bodies and to his shock, yes the baby is still alive. He peels away the burnt bodies of Youngjae and Sohyun, he is confused but convinced he should still follow through on his plan and stabs the baby.
SIKE
Min tackles Dongwook while everyone is just there? Like, not helping Min at all to prevent his intention to murder an innocent baby!!!! I guess the fight lasted 5 minutes because the fight gets interrupted when Dongwook hears the same rumbling beckoning him.
The entities come back and before the ever so growing audience they all get another viewing of his demonstration this time. Zzzzzaaap. He gone now.
Min slowly approaches and picks up Toughie as the crowd comes closing in on her. Toughie being the symbol of what has just transpired look upon the baby in reverence and love, shield the approaching Yuji who tries to his darnest to reach Min. The crowd works together to prevent them access. Yuji is starting to lose his marbles.
The once calm and collected yet disturbingly hot in his stoic manner has now regressed to a breaking point. He takes it out on an innocent man.. Police are there and Yuji expecting their assistance have now taken Yuji in custody for assault and battery on the poor man. He can't believe his eyes! He starts going on a joker-esque mental breakdown as he is being escorted away.
Being in the clear now, Min hauls a cab to GTFO. I was worried for a hot second when Min said her cabbie missed his turn. Not gonna lie, the cabbie did look rather mysterious and all. Actually, he says that on his way over he noticed a police checkpoint. He knows exactly who she is and for once when it truly counted, luck is on her side. In so little words, he implies he is an athiest, not a follower of New Truth. He thinks she is doing the world a favor saying the world is meant for humans. Such a sweet scene. She can finally relax because for once, this dude right here is indeed a real one.
Looks like the Min's organization here has ultimately achieved what they set out to do. People got to see the New Truth for who they really are and the world while broken, will have to reel in the aftermath but cope.
Closing things out, unbeknownst to the rest of the world, camera pans over to the sacred site of Park back in episode 2 and supernatural shit starts happening. The remnants of Park's body gets reanimated and Holy fuck!!!!
That concludes season 1. Take solace that at least Netflix renewed this for a 2nd season!!!! Impatiently waiting for the premiere date!!!! Trailer got released that they are currently in production.
