Episode 9

There are still 153 days until the asteroid hits the Earth.Sister Cai Huan secretly meets with Otokki to exchange information.She showed him the video of the priest leaving the church with Manager Lin that day.Otokki recognized an address on the nun's phone and she begged him to tell Renya everything.

Elsewhere, In Ah is busy contacting Se Kyung and Yun Sang to deliver information.She sent several soldiers to support her friend.Meanwhile, Se Kyung and Yoon Sang arrive at the training center and are allowed to meet the priest.

The priest still maintained his charming aura and pretended to be nonchalant.He welcomed the couple warmly, shared some Christian teachings, and advised them to repent.They must be selling shamelessness for free at this training center!Se-kyung viciously admits that he is a murderer, and the priest is not surprised at all.He preaches God's forgiveness and Se-kyung says she has no intention of repenting.

The priest turns his attention to Yun-sang, saying that God has told him about the couple's mission.Se Kyung loses her cool and Yoon Sang tries to calm her down.He directly asked the priest to stop hiding in the training center and apologize to the church.In turn, the priest explains that Yun-sang needs to expand his horizons.The priest refused to take any responsibility and lacked empathy.

As the couple tried to reason with the ruthless pastor, he received a call from Mrs. King's son.Soldiers sent by Renya were at the door, and the priest was advised to stick to his original plan.Mrs. King's son noted that they had a backup plan if things went wrong.The priest bid farewell to the couple and promised to rescue Yun Sang on D-Day.He also talks about the best servants being those who leave.These words confused Yun Sang.Soldiers escorted the couple away.

At Mrs. King's house, Otoki begged his grandmother not to leave him.She assured him that she could abandon her son, but not her grandson.In church, Sungjae fasted and prayed, seeking guidance and strength.Meanwhile, the kids are once again at an abandoned US military base and are surprised when US soldiers arrive and start riding their planes throughout the town.In Ah and Hyun Jae began to monitor the base.They all suspected that elites would use U.S. military bases to escape.Sister Chae-hwan pressures Sung-jae to take positive action, but he wants to know more about what the priest said to Yun-sang.He still had hope in the older priest.

Later, Mingyu and Se-kyung talk about In-ah's brother In-sung and his death.Renxing was killed while searching for food in the city center.Gang members senselessly murdered him for fun.Initially, Mingyu was disappointed that Renya didn't investigate the case more deeply.However, as gang members die in mysterious ways, she wonders if Ren-ah has exacted revenge.Se-kyung assures her that In-ah is a hero who is willing to protect the people she loves at all costs.Mingyu feels half-heartedly relieved by In-ah's revenge, but also worries about her daughter's soul.

In the military, In-ah continues to face criticism for her recent actions and disappearances.Her superiors have been keeping a close eye on her and raiding their base.In a flashback, we see Renya disobey the battalion commander's orders and pursue the rebel leader.She didn't want them to get away with it.Her disobedience resulted in the death of many soldiers and the injury of others.

In a worrying incident, Hyun-sik prepares a gun for Ha-yul and she gives him a USB filled with links to fake content.Ha Yool returns home and attempts suicide in front of her parents.Fortunately, Hyun-sik didn't load the bullet.She throws away the gun and runs out to greet Se-kyung, who comforts her.

Yoon-sang watches Se-kyung deal with Ha-ryul, and he begins to understand her more.He kept thinking about the priest's words and felt conflicted in his heart.

After her superiors leave, In-ah meets with her former battalion commander to pick up supplies and talk to him about JIU.The JIU tried to blame military personnel for the missing ammunition.Renya's recent raid at the training center gave them a reason to confiscate all weapons.Commander Cui took this as a sign that they were about to leave.Renya tried to get in touch with the military base, but they refused to tell her anything.She asked Sergeant Min Zhi to bring some snacks to the American troops and took the opportunity to look around.

Speaking of the training center, Zheng Ya called a meeting and announced changes in plans.She told the members they would be leaving soon, but first, they had to get their children back.She delivers a delusional speech claiming that they are God's chosen people and will soon arrive in a new paradise.Zheng Ya sent Toittech’s CEO to pick up the children.

As for the children rescued from the training center, JIU tried to take the children away by force.However, doctors and police refused to budge.Young-ji tries to become the guardian of her younger brother who is sick and needs surgery.

At the same time, Commander Cui acted according to the plan agreed with In Ah.He went to churches to set up radio stations.Renya and her team try to figure out the elite's escape plan.Se Kyung remembers that the priest promised to pick up Yoon Sang an hour before departure.The emergency airstrip near the training center is likely where aircraft will land and take off.They agree to be on duty at the church, with Seongjae in charge of the first shift.

Yoon Sang and Se Kyung go home.After arriving home, the two finally had a candid conversation.Se-kyung admits to killing the gang members and says she doesn't deserve to be saved.She knows she's only alive because they still need Yoon Sang.She understands that Yoon Sang needs her, but she doesn't think she will be happy.She begged him to leave her behind and take the children with him.

She dedicated her life to children.She couldn't let her remaining children die, nor could she forget how the other children had been killed.Yoon-sang is conflicted because he refuses to give up on her.Eventually, they cried and hugged each other.It's obvious from the start that Yoon-sang will choose to stay, but the scene is still touching and leaves us convinced that these two will stick around until the end.

As night falls, Mingyu looks at old photos of his children and falls into sadness.The circling of the plane prevented everyone from getting enough sleep.
