THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS,

PLACES, OR EVENTS IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL

He must be killed.

PREVIOUSLY

For the first time, I feel sure in my faith.

Over there.

Hey! What about my mom?

Mom, wake up!

I heard you've been driving your taxi everywhere.

That's right. I'm looking for someone.

…moved here after being killed, right?

The drain is dry, but the body is soaking wet.

I have this unique ability.

Last night, I was sleeping,

and I saw the killer dump the body in the drain.

Are you messing with me?

How did this man meet Park Il-do?

Where is Park Il-do?

He came from the sea.

Park Il-do!

How did you know the culprit would stab himself in the eye?

I see those possessed by The Guest. I can see what the possessed do.

Park Il-do's in Father Choi's body, isn't he?

Father Choi's younger brother.

…whose family died because of you.

- Father! - The one who became an orphan!

- I'm not doing it anymore. - The girl and the man could both die.

I'll take it from here.

Cast Satan and his demons into hell

by the power of God.

Everyone who gets near him dies.

He's one of us.

Maybe you're possessed too.

I sensed the possessed man.

Tell me his name!

Park Il…

do!

Please contact Detective Kang Gil-yeong.

Mr. Kim Yeong-su

will tell her where to find his daughter.

EPISODE 3

Did you eat today?

Yes.

So you're eating again.

Since then…

have you been hearing things?

And the hallucinations.

Are they gone now?

I don't see

anything at all.

It seems you're no longer possessed.

My daughter…

Su-jin.

I heard your daughter is in the hospital.

You'll be able to see her soon.

POLICE STATION

Oh, hey.

Did you sleep here again?

Go home, will you?

I'm coming back to work anyway.

Did you hear about Kim Yeong-su?

The prosecution dropped the charges again.

Really?

They said he physically couldn't have done it.

They ordered a full reinvestigation.

Man, I have no idea what's going on with this case anymore.

You saw Kim Yeong-su, right?

He's completely different from his interrogation.

Now he can barely even speak,

and just keeps crying for his wife and daughter.

Don't be too scared of your dad.

He won't act strangely anymore.

Did my dad…

do that to my mom?

Well,

it might be hard to understand, but he didn't.

Something bad took over him.

I know about this stuff.

Your dad did nothing wrong.

Hard to believe, right?

A long time ago, something like that took over me too.

And I did bad things to my family.

But I don't remember any of it.

Your dad's probably like that right now.

He's probably hurting and suffering more than anyone else.

Make sure you go see him.

Okay?

- Oh, hi. - Have you eaten?

I thought you'd buy me something expensive, but noodles?

Then don't eat them.

I'm already eating.

You're so grumpy.

You're single, aren't you?

Acting like that will scare any man away.

My oldest is in sixth grade.

The tutoring fees are killing me.

Really? I've been divorced twice.

That's not funny.

You started it.

Just eat your noodles.

This place rules. I've been a regular since I was a rookie.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Bye.

So you do smile.

I thought you were a gruff detective.

- Do you want a beating? - No, not really.

So what happens to Kim Yeong-su?

He'll be released without charges.

But we'll reinvestigate and lock him up.

It's not his fault.

He killed people, so he must be punished.

The victims deserve justice.

He lost his wife.

He's just another victim of a ghost.

I don't know about ghosts…

but these cases are the hardest.

People keep dying, and nothing gets solved.

Man, this is hard for me too.

I wish The Guest just possessed bad guys.

What exactly is that? The Guest?

It's when a ghost possesses a person.

That's what we call it in my hometown.

"The Guest is coming."

So that's what took over Kim Yeong-su?

And that's why he was acting so weird?

It's the master ghost, Park Il-do.

He commands lesser ghosts.

And those lesser ghosts possess people.

I was possessed by Park Il-do when I was a kid.

That's why you can see strange things?

Yes.

Someone else is possessed by Park Il-do right now.

And he keeps killing people.

- You saw the case files, right? - I did, but…

I still don't get it.

This Park Il-do,

we have to catch him.

A ghost?

I'll stick to catching the criminals I can see.

And even without him,

there are plenty of monsters in the world.

Did you go through something traumatic in the past?

I can tell by looking at someone.

I'm psychic, remember?

Forget it, let's go.

- Thank you for the food. - All right.

Are you really not going to the hospital?

You know the hospital can't cure this.

I told you before.

As an exorcist, you handle evil things,

so your body and soul slowly grow sick.

Then you should quit now.

You're getting old, Father.

Can't you be a little nicer about it?

If I weren't a priest, I'd have a son your age, kiddo.

That son would've had a hard time.

That's true.

But…

who else would do this if not me?

What about you? It's not too late to quit.

I already told you.

I'm looking for someone.

Anyway, you should clean this place.

And let some air in.

No wonder you're sick.

How about you do my laundry before you leave, then?

I'm leaving.

- Don't forget to take your medicine. - How cold-hearted.

He could've at least done my laundry.

How did you find me?

The diocese told me.

Well, aren't you good at finding people.

I've always been good at that.

I came to say hi.

And to thank you for last time.

There's no need for that.

I'm just finishing up Father Han's work.

I'll help you pack up Father Han's things.

You'll only be in the way. Please, just leave.

Wow, that's cold.

Listen, about Father Han…

Maybe it's not my place to say this…

but I hope you don't blame yourself.

That's not what he would want.

What if I blame you instead?

True. It's mostly my fault, but…

wouldn't he have forgiven me?

He and I both risk our lives doing this.

I could drop dead tomorrow too.

You only see things the way you want to.

You think you're the only one saving people and risking your life.

Are you taking a dig at me?

Why are you talking to me so casually? You've been doing it this whole time.

Maybe you should too.

Fine, whatever.

I'm leaving, Father.

During the last ritual…

the higher spirit controlling Kim Yeong-su's demon vanished.

Did you do something?

When the master ghost weakens, the lesser ghosts weaken too.

I know from experience.

Park Il-do.

Right, that thing called Park Il-do.

The one who did that to Father Han.

Where is he?

Park Il-do.

He's been possessing someone's body for 20 years.

I'm trying to find them too.

I'll tell you if I do.

Everyone who gets near him dies.

He's one of us.

That taxi driver…

He's unleashed something dangerous.

Matthew,

make sure you stay out of it.

Hey, jerk! You think that's your car?

You should've asked before you took it, dummy!

I can't take my taxi there. It's a company car.

Fill up the gas then!

Or grab some sashimi on your way back.

Sashimi? Please. There are sashimi joints everywhere.

And I'm not going to the coast.

I can't stand it.

So what made you suddenly want to go down there?

You never go there.

When Kim Yeong-su was possessed,

he said Father Choi would go after his brother soon.

- His brother? Why? - I'll have to meet him and ask.

Why didn't you call first?

What's with the car?

Did you make some money?

I borrowed it.

I should've known.

- I'm hungry. I want food. - Good grief.

Wasn't it hot this morning?

Tomorrow will be another hot day.

- With the sun beating down… - How old is that TV?

It's a miracle it even turns on.

Get a new one already.

I don't have time for TV.

I'm busy with the fields and the fishery.

Are you home?

Yes, who is it?

- Let's have a drink. - What?

I brought some rockfish.

Well…

I can't. I have a guest.

Who is it?

Hello.

Oh, you're here.

All right, let's drink some other time.

Gosh.

He looked like he saw a ghost.

I guess he's still scared.

What about our relatives and neighbors?

Don't mind them.

At least thanks to me, you won't get robbed.

They wouldn't risk it.

- Right? - Yes, I suppose.

- How did he get these bruises? - Those?

He did it to himself.

He did it all to himself.

Why aren't you sleeping?

When you get old,

you don't sleep much anyway.

Why are you out here?

It's too hot.

Don't wait for him. He's not coming back.

Your dad.

I don't know where he is,

or if he's even eating properly.

That call was the last time we heard anything.

So don't wait for him.

Grandpa?

- Run! - Grandpa!

All right.

Hey, where are you going so early?

- I have somewhere to be. - What about breakfast?

I usually skip breakfast. I'm off.

Wait a second.

Here, take this for gas.

Come on, I make plenty of money.

- Just take it. - I'll call you.

When did he even buy this?

He shouldn't have wasted his money.

He could've at least installed it before leaving.

Wait, please.

Mom.

Mom, wake up!

Mom!

UMI POTTERY WORKSHOP

Can I help you?

Oh, yes.

I'm looking for someone who used to live here.

Someone who used to live here?

I have no idea where he is.

A relative came and took him around the time he started high school.

We haven't kept in touch since.

Do you have his contact info?

I think his number changed.

We couldn't reach him, either.

Did he have any close friends among the kids here?

Or maybe friends from school?

He didn't have any friends.

He didn't even talk to anyone.

Must've been trauma or something.

Anyway, he never said a word.

He was always alone in his room.

He was also bullied at school, and…

What is it? Did something happen?

He tried to commit suicide.

After that, he was in and out of the hospital getting treatment.

We had to be investigated.

Gosh, it was really hard.

He was such a spiteful kid.

So, you're covering that old murder case?

Where did you say you were from?

Oh, we're working on an article about past unsolved cases.

But more importantly…

did this man ever visit?

I've never seen this priest.

I see.

Wasn't his brother, the culprit, a priest too?

His own parents…

Maybe it was because of his brother.

- He was a bit… - What was that?

There was something creepy about him.

Even the other kids were scared of him.

He'd talk to himself sometimes.

When the orphanage's dog died,

everyone else was crying,

but he just stared blankly at the dead dog.

The priest

is going

to his brother!

INDEPENDENT TAXI

Detective Kang. Please, just listen to me for a second.

I swear, just for a moment.

It's a kidnap-murder.

- The women-- - I told you I don't buy that.

There was a dead woman in the trunk.

I'm telling you. I saw it.

Do you still not believe me?

You saw it all during Kim Yeong-su's case.

Forget about it.

Nothing like that was reported.

Of course, the body hasn't been found.

The culprit is driving around with it in his trunk.

Gosh, you're driving me crazy.

Then at least check the missing persons list. Please?

Early twenties, a bob haircut.

Flower shoulder tattoo, white tank top, and jeans.

I remember it vividly, as if I saw it myself.

What's going on?

Why are you here again?

Oh, Detective Kang left something in my taxi.

Are you stalking Detective Kang?

- What? - Excuse me?

Man, this punk's got very dangerous taste…

I guess her looks aren't half bad.

Still, you'd better be careful, or she might beat you--

Just go for now. I'll call you.

You have to call me, okay?

- Early twenties… - Bob haircut.

White top and jeans.

And a small flower tattoo on the shoulder.

- There's no one like that. - Really?

- That's a relief. - Is this about a related case?

No. It's nothing.

A small flower tattoo on the shoulder?

Oh, that was just reported today.

Kim Eun-su, 25 years old.

White tank top, jeans.

And a flower tattoo on the shoulder.

SALE SUPERMARKET

Hi, what did you find out?

You were right. It's a missing person.

Where did the woman go missing?

In Hantan-dong, late at night, two days ago.

She was last seen parting ways with a friend.

Her family reported her missing today when they couldn't reach her.

She probably took a taxi home. The driver is the culprit.

I checked the nearby security cameras. There's no footage of her taking one.

We lost her.

- What will you do? - I have to search the area.

But it's not my jurisdiction. It's going to be tough.

Let's do it together. I'll help.

Forget it. You're just going to stir things up again.

Are you already snooping around by yourself?

What are you talking about? I'm working right now.

Meeting the daily quota is hard enough.

Okay, just behave yourself.

I got it.

- I'm sick of the same thing every day. - What's for lunch today?

- Anything's fine. - Let's just get beef soup.

How about you, Mr. Na?

Where were you?

Just looking into a few things.

What's his problem now?

What do you think? He can't stand you.

What did I do?

You found out Kim Yeong-su's daughter is still alive.

He was against the search.

So I guess he's embarrassed and angry.

I'd be annoyed with you too.

He should just say it to my face.

There goes that mouth of yours again.

Come on, come mingle with the rest of us.

We have a team dinner today.

Come have a drink with us and toast the team leader.

Why would I toast him?

Because we all have to.

Is that so weird?

Forget it. He saw me, so that's that.

I'm leaving. I have things to look into.

What are you working on?

A missing persons report came in, and it looks a bit suspicious.

Are you making up cases to investigate now?

You're a workaholic.

You skip team dinners, so you're getting ostracized by the team.

I mean, you're ostracizing the whole team.

Just suck up to the team leader yourself.

How could you say that to me?

Now I'm going to ostracize you too.

- Don't pout, Bong-sang. - Whatever.

Hello, gentlemen. How's it going?

Sorry, but have you seen a taxi with a monkey doll on its rearview mirror?

No, I haven't.

I'm sorry to interrupt your meal.

Have you seen a taxi with a monkey doll hanging from the rearview mirror?

I haven't seen one.

That security camera outside…

VACANT

Spinning and spinning

If you keep spinning

The good days will return

So keep spinning

Spinning and spinning

If you keep spinning

A blooming spring day

Will return to you

The Gokin-dong intersection, please.

Let's live a sweet life

Together once more

Why must we live

With such heavy hearts?

Worrying about money and love

Fretting all the time

As the good days

All slip away

Spinning and spinning

TAXI

The good days will return

Why are we going this way?

You should turn right to take the beltway.

My lost youth will return

Hey! Where are we going?

What the…

You were dozing off, weren't you?

Didn't you see the light?

- I'm sorry, but you need to get out. - What?

I won't charge you, so just get out!

Damn it.

Why are we going this way?

Damn it, where is it?

Where did he go?

Spinning and spinning

If you keep spinning

The good days will…

If you keep spinning

TAXI

VACANT

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I accidentally dozed off for a second there.

What the…

That bastard…

You bastard!

This son of a…

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Damn it.

Damn it!

- I found him. - Found who?

The culprit.

His car is right here…

You bastard.

Who the heck are you?

Where is Park Il-do?

SANGYONG MEDICAL CENTER

Hwa-pyeong.

I told you to be careful, you dummy.

Oh, no.

Okay, I get it. You just stay put.

I told you wandering around would get you hurt.

Didn't I tell you you'd get hurt, acting recklessly like that?

Damn it!

When will you pay back the money you owe me?

Come on, wake up.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

My friend doesn't have much time left.

I said, what are you doing?

Oh, my.

Do you know that person?

No?

Why are you bothering someone who's in pain? They're hurt.

Are you really okay?

Then you should've said so earlier.

Damn it, I…

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Sir, you need a thorough examination.

- It's okay. - I'm good. My head's fine.

Do you think you're invincible?

You could just drop dead, you know.

Please, take care of yourself.

That's not what's important right now.

- Did you call that detective? - I did.

Oh, here she comes.

What was that call earlier?

What do you mean, the culprit?

- Are you hurt? - The culprit attacked me.

I saw the dead woman in the trunk.

That driver kidnaps and kills women.

Are you sure? Do you have proof?

TAXI

You can run the plates, right?

That's a fake taxi.

Then the license plate's fake, too.

Just find him somehow, Detective.

I lost him. He was right there.

I could've saved that woman if I'd been faster.

I saw the accident.

But there's no proof of kidnapping or murder.

I'm telling you, I saw the woman's body.

Don't you believe me?

The woman with the flower tattoo.

You know she went missing!

Are you not investigating it because it's too much of a headache?

What did you say?

Wait.

Why are you two so aggressive? Calm down.

That's already his third victim!

You need to help stop him.

Or else there'll be another murder.

Gosh, you're killing me.

Where are we right now?

Hey, easy!

Jeez, what's wrong with you? I just had my hemorrhoid surgery!

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are we going to a junkyard?

I told you, it's because of an illegal taxi.

Its plate was scrapped.

Okay, but why do we care? We're not traffic cops.

Is this related to a violent crime?

Someone reported it to me personally.

So who reported the illegal taxi…

Taxi?

Oh, that taxi driver guy.

Was it that guy? Yoon something?

So what's your relationship with him anyway?

Are you two dating?

Are you? You totally are.

You're not denying it. That's a yes.

- You won't say-- - Deny what?

Hey, easy!

Jeez, seriously.

You need to retake your driving test.

This car's already been scrapped.

What about the license plate?

Scrapped with it, of course.

Did you scrap it yourself?

No, the employee in charge did it.

Why do you ask?

- Can we see that employee? - Sure.

- Hey. - Yes?

Where did Min-gu go?

- You haven't seen him? - He was just here.

- He was? - Yes.

Is he sleeping on the job again?

- When did he leave? - About ten minutes ago.

- Ten minutes? - Yes.

Jeez.

Leaving without a word…

TAXI

TAXI

- What is it? - It's this car.

Is this the right car?

What is it? Where are you going?

Stop right there!

Who the heck are you?

- Why did you run? - Stop it!

Stop it!

- No! - What are you doing to my brother?

No!

It's okay. Look at me.

- Stop it! - It's okay!

It's okay.

- I said don't! - It's okay now.

Stop it!

Mr. Choi Min-gu.

Why did you run away earlier?

Your brother told me

you're in charge of scrapping license plates.

Is that true?

Hey, Choi Min-gu.

- What were you doing last night? - Plans.

I had plans.

What plans?

I don't want to talk to a woman.

Do you like soccer?

Mom won't let me watch.

She cut off the internet, so I called to complain.

Those jerks took our money, but didn't…

Both of the taxi drivers need a beating.

Those bad guys need a beating.

What is he even talking about?

I think it's because of that.

Those assholes! They came yesterday, too.

It's all because I called them.

It's because I called them.

My mom…

Have you seen this woman?

Let's talk for a second.

What are you doing right now? Are you interrogating him?

Just pretend you didn't see this.

Weren't you trying to take down an illegal taxi?

I asked his brother. He says that guy can't drive.

He doesn't even have a license.

We don't know that for sure.

Tell me the truth.

What was with that woman's photo? What are you up to?

I mentioned it briefly before.

I'm on a missing persons case.

It might be linked to more.

And I suspect the culprit drives an illegal taxi.

A series of disappearances?

Did anyone file a report?

Yes, but not a missing persons report.

And?

It could be kidnapping and murder.

We have a witness.

Who's the witness?

Wait, don't tell me it's that taxi driver.

At 1:00 a.m. last night,

he saw a body in the trunk of the culprit's car.

He said he saw the body himself?

If he's telling the truth, this is the third victim.

I'm not entirely sure, though.

Right, you're not sure.

So just let him go, okay?

The Kim Yeong-su case has us on thin ice.

If you keep doing this without telling the team leader, you're dead.

The Bongmin-dong aggravated robbery and rape.

Let's catch that culprit first, okay?

But…

doesn't this culprit seem too similar to the last one?

Damn it.

I have a bad feeling. Just let him go.

Black bush clover, oh, black bush clover

Now, let's see. Right there.

Yuk-gwang.

Damn it.

Yuk-gwang.

I can't move my body. This is weird.

Yuk-gwang, look at me.

Damn it.

You.

You!

You scared me. I almost had a heart attack.

What is it, punk?

Hey, did you have sleep paralysis? Did you see a ghost?

I saw it.

I saw a ghost.

What kind of ghost?

The master ghost,

Park Il-do!

Where?

- Over there. - What?

- It was right over there. - Hey.

Hey, damn it.

Is it still there?

Is it there right now?

What are you doing? Damn it.

Go sleep at home now.

Your ghost gate is wide open. All kinds of ghosts are coming in.

Stop ruining my business and go sleep at your place.

Hey, stop it! It went in my ear!

Jeez.

Who's this?

- Finally. - Who is it?

You found it?

You said you see through a ghost's eyes. Tell me what you saw last.

Any clues to identify the woman.

- Where and when she took the taxi. - Why?

I'll tell you, but tell me where he is first.

- No. - Why not?

If you get the third victim right, the police will handle it.

Don't interfere and mess up the investigation like last time.

You can't investigate because there's no body.

By the time the police act, there will be another victim.

- What? - Forget it.

I'll find him myself.

You'll never find that car.

Only the police can find it.

You'll never find it.

Damn it.

The Hwaseon-dong intersection, 12:30 a.m. A young woman with short hair.

Leopard-print clothes.

Search all the security cameras and look for witnesses nearby.

Where is he?

One-Two Junkyard in Yuseon-dong.

Is this it?

- Let's go. - Hey, wait.

Damn it, I don't think we're supposed to be here.

I swear, this idiot is going to put me in an early grave.

Then you shouldn't have come.

I saw you get your head busted open when you went alone.

How could I not come?

You're the only one who cares about me, Yuk-gwang.

Cut the crap.

I just don't want the headache of you dying alone out there, dummy.

- We're taking this, at least. - What is that?

A peach tree branch that grew eastward.

If you smack him on the back with it,

the evil spirits will react.

It better work.

Let's go.

Damn it.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Do you have an AC condenser I could use as a replacement?

All the drivers say that your used parts are top-notch.

Of course, we've got everything. Imports and all.

- Really? - Yes.

I need a fender, too.

- Can I take a look outside? - Sure, go ahead.

Thanks.

You feel something strange too, right?

So what am I supposed to do?

She wouldn't accept the gift,

so I couldn't give it to her.

Is fishing even fun?

Hey there.

Must be tough in this heat.

What song are you listening to?

Spinning and spinning

You bastard.

It's you, isn't it?

You bastard.

He suddenly changed, right?

Talking oddly. His eyes look different.

Why do you do this?

Demons prey on human weakness.

And your past must make you vulnerable.

It moved on from me.

Because I have to catch Park Il-do.

If he were possessed, he would've reacted to the hidden crucifix immediately.

This isn't a possession.

I shouldn't have trusted you.

Don't ever call me again.

You will never find him.

Because you're going to die now!
