EPISODE 12

Dad!

Dad!

No, Dad. Stay with me!

Over there.

Your grandmother is here.

Grandpa!

Guardian for Mr. Yoon Mu-il.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

He's unconscious due to excessive bleeding.

It's not clear when he'll wake up.

It could take months.

Grandpa…

I brought Dad to say goodbye.

He's really leaving now.

I'll give him a good send-off.

DECEASED: YOON GEUN-HO STATUS: CREMATING

Hwa-pyeong.

Hwa-pyeong.

Yes?

You should go to the crematorium office and pick up the ashes.

When my brother was cremated,

Hwa-pyeong stayed with me.

Now it's the other way around.

In the end, Park Il-do killed Hwa-pyeong's whole family.

Over the course of 20 years.

Neither Mr. Yoon's father nor grandfather was Park Il-do,

just his victims.

Who is the real Park Il-do?

This case has made me realize

that he's definitely watching us.

He's near us, for sure.

For Hwa-pyeong's sake, we must catch that bastard, Park Il-do.

MAY THE DECEASED REST IN PEACE

Hwa-pyeong. Run far away from here.

I'm sorry for everything.

Everyone around you dies.

That priest who's with you,

and the policewoman too.

Let's talk.

I'm done looking for Park Il-do.

What are you talking about?

Park Il-do or not, I just want to live quietly like everyone else.

Mr. Yoon.

I know this is hard for you, but--

It's not because it's hard. I just realized that

it's too much for us to handle.

Do you want to end up like your brother? And you, like your mom?

If not, you two should stop looking for Park Il-do.

Let's never contact or see each other again.

I get why he's acting that way, but--

It's obviously hard on him.

He'll be fine. Give him time.

I don't think he's really given up.

It seems like he has.

- What? - He lost his family hunting Park Il-do.

At first, he just wanted to avenge his mom,

but now, after his dad and grandfather…

Do you honestly think

he'll quit chasing Park Il-do?

I think so.

He probably wants to protect his grandfather now.

If he really quits, what will you do?

I can't stop now.

I have to track him down and get him.

What about you?

I'll see this through too.

I have no family to protect now.

Same here.

There's only one way left.

Park Hong-ju.

Park Hong-ju is tied to Park Il-do.

Let's investigate her first.

I'll see you in Sangyong-si.

Matthew.

GYEYANGJIN HOSPITAL

It wasn't a formal funeral, but it went well.

I gave Dad a proper send-off.

They say unconscious people can still hear everything.

I bet you can too, Grandpa.

You can hear me, right?

I used to find it such a hassle to call you,

but now I have so much to say.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Grandpa.

When you looked for Dad

and searched all those places…

I should've believed you

when you said you forced yourself through it

despite your motion sickness.

And back when I was young,

I blamed you when you sent me off to distant relatives.

But I actually knew you did it for my sake.

I couldn't live where Mom and Grandma died.

I'm…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Grandpa. I couldn't save Dad.

I really tried to save him, but I couldn't, Grandpa.

I'm so sorry about that.

What should I do now?

What can I do now?

Are you okay?

If I had done something…

If only I had performed the exorcism sooner.

But you didn't.

You believed our prophecy, so you didn't.

That's why he died.

Yun, what's wrong? Are you okay?

It's nothing.

It must be because you're too close to him.

What do you mean?

Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

Sorry?

What do you think of Hwa-pyeong?

Do you trust him?

I do.

I didn't at first…

but we went through the same pain,

and now we fight, risking our lives together.

You've been fooled.

What you said last time…

You said the people at Yoon Hwa-pyeong's house 20 years ago

were his grandfather and father,

Father Choi Sang-hyeon, me,

and Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

You said those five were the only ones.

Both his grandfather and father said so.

The only one left now is Hwa-pyeong.

I think…

It's Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

No, it's not him.

Twenty years ago,

someone at his house was definitely possessed by Park Il-do.

Your brother, who was possessed, said the same thing.

Two of those five died.

One is unconscious, and only Hwa-pyeong and I are left.

I've never suspected you, Father.

But the same goes for Mr. Yoon.

If he's Park Il-do,

then he's chasing himself out of self-hatred.

There are two possibilities.

Either Hwa-pyeong, possessed by Park Il-do's evil spirit,

is deceiving us,

or he doesn't know Park Il-do is inside him.

Are you saying that he doesn't know…

he's possessed by Park Il-do?

I heard his family did a suppressing ritual on Hwa-pyeong.

That suppressing ritual

might be what's suppressing the power

and energy of Park Il-do.

Is it possible to possess people

without them knowing?

Is that even possible?

When the possessed people commit murder because of Park Il-do,

only he senses it and sees what happens.

This is proof of that.

I thought it was because Park Il-do possessed him as a child.

There's no record of such a thing among exorcists worldwide.

From now on, I plan to investigate this myself.

I can't just stand by after what happened to his family.

When that happened to your brother,

I should have stepped in sooner.

I'll return to Sangyong-si.

See you later.

Everyone who gets near him dies.

He's one of us.

Everyone who gets near him dies.

He's one of us.

Park Il-do.

Park Il-do!

Park Il-do.

The right eye.

What was that?

No, it's nothing.

You've been through a lot.

What will you do with your grandfather's house now?

I'll lock it up

and ask the neighbors to keep an eye on it.

You know,

Hwa-pyeong.

I don't think life is all that special.

Life is fleeting.

Living itself is futile. There's nothing to hold on to.

What are you talking about?

Don't dwell on your father's death too much.

Start preparing yourself for your grandpa as well.

Just think of it as him leaving a bit earlier than expected.

As I get older, I get more softhearted,

but I'm more detached from things like that.

You know,

maybe it's because of my age,

but I feel like I've aged rapidly lately.

Especially my face.

If we go somewhere together, people would think we're brothers, right?

They wouldn't think of me as your uncle or your father, would they?

I feel like my face is getting bigger lately too.

Honestly, a few years ago, we looked the same.

When I make a joke, you should play along.

You're right.

I can't grieve now. I have things to do.

Like what?

I have to catch Park Il-do. I'm going to kill him.

I'll catch him and rip him apart.

I'll throw him into the depths of Hell. That ghost bastard.

I thought you were giving up.

Didn't you tell Detective Kang and Father Choi to stop--

I thought they'd die.

I was afraid of that, too.

This all happened because I was possessed by that ghost.

Both of them lost their families because of me.

I don't want to drag them into this anymore.

I don't want to see them die too.

But how can you do it alone?

I have to. I'll see it through.

Whether Park Il-do dies or I do,

I have to finish it.

I have you, right?

CHOI YUN

I think Yoon Hwa-pyeong is Park Il-do.

Hi, what's up?

Are you busy now?

I'm doing paperwork.

The report on Hwa-pyeong's father.

Guess I'll be up late again.

People think detectives just run around outside all day,

but most of the work is paperwork.

How will you investigate Park Hong-ju?

I'm thinking about it.

The target is Park Il-do,

but we need to deal with Park Hong-ju first.

I'm still not sure. What about you?

I'm thinking of going back to Gyeyangjin.

Why Gyeyangjin?

Because of Mr. Yoon.

Hwa-pyeong? Did he contact you?

No, he's not answering his phone.

Let him get some rest.

Why are you going there?

I have things to look into.

I'll fill you in when I get back.

Take care.

You went somewhere?

Hong-sik from Violent Crimes 1 said he has intel on the Tiger Gang.

Intel, my ass.

Those punks just want to score free soju.

How do we catch the Tiger boss?

Did he flee to Southeast Asia?

You know where the mid-level boss is.

What good is that?

Are we getting a warrant for him or inviting him to a birthday party?

He's too scared to even make a move.

Should I just do it the old-fashioned way?

I could corner him and threaten him.

He'll chicken out and run straight to his boss.

Wait, what did you just say?

Run straight to him?

Scare him, and he'll run to his boss?

I'm off tomorrow. You'll be fine, right?

Why do you ask?

I'm going to scare the mid-level boss.

Hey, Gutsy.

Hey!

NATIONAL UNIFICATION PARTY

CONGRESSWOMAN PARK HONG-JU

Gosh, you came out of nowhere.

The last investigation must be over.

What brings you here?

Nothing much.

As a detective,

I have to poke around to get anything useful.

You haven't seen Hwa-pyeong lately, have you?

He's a danger to you.

I haven't seen him since that last incident.

Since he's dangerous, I'd report him and get him locked up.

You'd need to catch him for me, Detective.

Of course.

By the way,

I heard he said that you're Park Il-do.

He claimed I was possessed by Park Il-do's ghost or something.

What a lunatic.

I suppose so.

But just in case, I looked into that Park Il-do person,

I mean, the ghost.

I heard a man possessed by Park Il-do appeared in Gyeyangjin,

Yoon Hwa-pyeong's hometown, 60 years ago.

Turns out, that man was Park Il-do's driver when he was alive.

What's really interesting is that

Park Il-do is your grandfather's younger brother.

That makes him

related to you.

And?

I don't know if that's why Yoon Hwa-pyeong suspected you,

but you and Park Il-do definitely have a connection.

You're holding up a congresswoman,

as a police officer,

just to talk about a dead man?

He is dead,

but he's alive inside someone's body.

- Though no one believes it. - Enough of this nonsense.

Shall we drop it?

Are we done?

Do you have anything else to say?

I found out whose body Park Il-do is in.

But you probably don't care, do you?

Excuse me, then.

She hasn't had any visitors in years.

Ms. Hwang Yun-sim has early-onset dementia.

You shouldn't talk to her for too long.

One more thing.

Don't be shocked if she says something strange.

She used to be a famous shaman,

and she's still a bit scary.

She still startles us sometimes.

I remember

the child from the family of hereditary shamans…

of Hojeong Village.

That child…

What ritual did you do on the child from the family

of hereditary shamans?

It was a suppression ritual.

That great spirit…

No.

A great ghost possessed him.

I just appeased that immense, terrifying energy.

I restrained it.

Was that Park Il-do?

Park Il-do or whatever you call it…

He said that the boy was his.

He will never leave that body.

He's probably still inside him.

But the power

of the suppression ritual…

is about to wear off.

What happens…

then?

That energy will consume him.

That master ghost

will take complete control of him.

He'll see what shouldn't be seen…

and hear what shouldn't be heard.

You!

The ghosts

played tricks on you too, right?

They cursed you, didn't they?

The master ghost…

kills people.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People…

People are dying!

People…

- They're dying! - Ma'am, please calm down.

Ma'am!

People are dying!

Ma'am!

The master ghost is killing people!

It's killing people!

Dad?

Dad.

You saw your father?

Yes.

It was like when I saw dead people as a kid.

That means

the suppression ritual has lost its effect.

And the pain in my right eye?

Yes.

That's also from being possessed by Park Il-do as a kid.

I don't know why,

but the spiritual energy suppressed by the ritual has come back.

What happens now?

You'll see what you shouldn't see,

and hear what you shouldn't hear.

Why did the suppression ritual suddenly stop working?

Do you see something else?

What?

No, I don't see anything.

Just take care of yourself for a while.

I brought some food, so eat up, okay?

Get better.

Don't go wandering around alone!

Got it?

I'm leaving.

Wait.

What?

What my dad showed me earlier…

- I think I know what it is. - What?

When I saw my dad at the inn,

he took a call and was suddenly possessed.

Who is this?

That phone call.

It was from Park Il-do.

He sent a lesser ghost through the phone.

You said you know a police officer, right?

Look into the number that called the inn for me.

Just ask Detective Kang. That would be faster.

No.

I won't ask her.

I can't drag her into this.

CONGRESSWOMAN PARK HONG-JU

It's urgent.

Can we meet and talk right now?

I just managed to find the number that called the inn.

This is Gwak Jeong-yeop, team leader of Violent Crimes Unit 2.

Welcome.

The food is good here. My father and I used to come together.

You've been here with my father, right?

Yes.

I've been here a few times with Congressman Park Chun-seok.

Team Leader Gwak, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Detective Kang Gil-yeong is on your team, correct?

Yes, ma'am.

Yesterday,

Detective Kang came to see me and talked about Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

He's the one who threatened me a few days ago.

Oh, Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

We're also keeping an eye on that dangerous man.

Aren't we?

The funny thing is

that it seems he and Detective Kang meet quite often.

My aides did some digging on Yoon Hwa-pyeong since he's dangerous.

Why is your junior detective

hanging out with a guy like that?

Why did a detective come to me talking about Yoon Hwa-pyeong?

Do you get what I'm saying?

I wasn't aware of this either.

We'll look into it and take action--

You should've done that already! Why do these pests keep bothering me?

Damn it.

Damn it.

What the heck has she been up to?

She's a detective, yet she's getting photographed with a former suspect.

She's your colleague. Didn't you know what she was up to?

Get a grip. Covering for her isn't helpful.

It's not doing her any favors.

You're her senior.

You're her partner.

Figure it out.

Anyway,

our team leader will get chewed out by the chief.

And it's because of you.

Congresswoman Park Hong-ju

told the chief directly to keep his underlings in line.

A congresswoman calls, so the chief and team leader go running?

Why should we listen to some politician?

Are you serious?

You're sounding like a rookie!

I told you don't mess with politicians. Why'd you mess with Park Hong-ju?

I had no choice. It's about the case.

So what is the case?

What are you and Yoon Hwa-pyeong doing right now?

How often have I asked you this? You always ask if I trust you, right?

What about you? Why won't you tell me?

Seriously, do you trust me or not?

I don't distrust you. I'm afraid you won't trust me.

"I don't distrust you…"

What? Tell me, so I know if I can trust you.

I'm tracking something called Park Il-do.

Park Il-do?

The name Kim Yeong-su shouted while stabbing his eye

when he was being interrogated?

Yes.

It's not just Kim Yeong-su.

Every recent case is tied to Park Il-do.

Even the high-school girl murder case my mom investigated 20 years ago.

What is this Park Il-do? What is it?

Who is this Park Il-do?

A ghost.

It's an evil spirit that takes possession of human bodies.

And it's connected to Park Hong-ju.

A ghost?

You can't do this to me.

Gil-yeong, get a grip.

Isn't it odd that Kim Yeong-su

and Choi Min-sang

both stabbed their own eyes?

You were attacked by Kim Yun-hui too.

She was insanely strong, right?

Yes, it is odd.

But that's just not possible.

Ghosts? Evil spirits?

See?

You don't believe me.

How could I?

We're in an era where robots clean our ears.

Yoon Hwa-pyeong is the ghost! You're completely under his spell.

I'll handle it. You don't have to believe me.

Handle what? I'm always getting chewed out for taking your side!

Who asked you to take my side?

I won't drag you into this.

Why, you little…

I wasn't going to bring this up,

but it's about your mom, isn't it?

You're obsessed.

You're not thinking straight now.

That's enough.

Just do what you always do.

Playing it safe and kissing up to the brass.

What? Hey, Gutsy!

Get back here!

What about Yoon Hwa-pyeong?

What are you talking about?

Father Yang suspects him.

He thinks Mr. Yoon is the real Park Il-do

out of the five.

Either he, as Park Il-do, is completely fooling everyone…

or he doesn't even know that he is Park Il-do.

Hwa-pyeong doesn't know that he's Park Il-do?

So I went to Gyeyangjin

to meet the shaman who suppressed him.

The shaman also thinks the evil spirit is inside Hwa-pyeong.

We've been chasing Park Il-do together.

It can't be Hwa-pyeong.

I want to believe that too.

But his ability to sense possessed people…

would be impossible

unless he were Park Il-do himself.

I'm more suspicious of Father Yang

than Hwa-pyeong.

Father Yang?

I met Park Hong-ju.

I said that I knew Park Il-do's identity,

and she immediately ran off.

So I thought she'd go meet Park Il-do,

but she met Father Yang.

They probably met for Helping Hands.

No.

Late at night, and at that place? I'm sure.

If Father Yang isn't Park Il-do,

maybe he knows a lot about Park Il-do.

Plus, Park Hong-ju is pressuring the top brass.

It means she's worried about something.

Mr. Yoon is the real Park Il-do

out of the five.

Why aren't you answering, Hwa-pyeong?

You're Park Hong-ju's…

Stay back.

Stay back!

Are you swinging a knife at a cop?

Stay back!

Damn it.

Damn it.

I'm almost at the house.

No, I'm at Gil-yeong's. We had a big fight earlier.

She must be angry. She's not answering calls, so I came over.

I'll make it quick, but we need to talk. Shall I buy fried chicken?

What the?

Honey, hold on.

Gil-yeong!

Shit.

Damn it!

It's a detective's house! You jerk!

Let go!

I said let go!

Get off me!

Bong-sang, are you okay?

- My gosh. - Damn it!

OPERATING ROOM

What happened? What's going on?

He got hurt while chasing someone.

He'll be fine.

The doctor said he isn't badly injured.

Oh, no.

Gil-yeong!

My gosh.

My Bong-sang.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

He's Park Hong-ju's driver.

I'm asking if you have proof.

I saw his face.

You're the only witness. What if you're wrong?

There's no way I'm wrong.

I even fought him.

But you have no other proof.

Listen to me.

Congresswoman Park Hong-ju is a scary woman. Her whole family is.

If you mess with her people over this, not just you, but Detective Ko and me…

The entire unit could get hurt.

So you're just covering this up after Ko got hurt?

Exactly!

Stop getting involved with her.

Detective Ko getting hurt is all your fault.

Detective Ko ended up like this because you were messing around!

NATIONAL UNIFICATION PARTY

I told you to watch her. Why'd you go inside that house?

You can't mess with a detective!

You pathetic jerk!

I didn't know she'd come back so early.

Did that female cop…

see your face?

Yes.

I think I should lie low for a while.

Got it.

I'll find a place for you to hide.

Wait for my call.

Hello?

Yes.

I have a problem that needs fixing.

REDIAL

Hello?

Sorry.

May I ask who's speaking?

This is Sangyong East Catholic Church.

Who is this?

Hello?

SANGYONG EAST HOSPITAL

I told you I'm fine.

I'm not even badly hurt.

Don't you think about your family?

Ye-in thought you were going to die and cried her eyes out.

I've told you so many times to be careful!

I am careful.

I play it safe when I work.

Sun-uk, you tell her. Am I careful or not?

He really plays it safe.

See?

He gets a lot of crap for it, so he'll live forever.

Pardon?

See? I told you I play it safe.

Aren't you going home? Isn't Ye-in waiting for you?

How can I go?

Are you thirsty?

I'll get you some water.

Seriously, who's badmouthing me?

I mean, it's just the truth.

You little punk. Always so extreme.

- Where's Detective Kang? - She left. It was an emergency.

What's more urgent than her injured partner?

Did something happen?

I have no idea what she's up to these days.

Whatever. You should get going too.

- You got a stakeout today, right? - Right, the stakeout.

- Get some rest. - Okay.

Bye.

Isn't it odd that both Kim Yeong-su

and Choi Min-sang

stabbed their own eyes?

Park Il-do!

What brings you here?

Are you okay?

I heard you collapsed before I came in.

Are you sick?

Are you experiencing any symptoms?

No, I'm not.

That's a relief.

Why did you come visit me?

You called the inn the day

that my dad got possessed, didn't you?

I traced the number that called the inn.

That's right.

I did call.

Why?

Because your grandfather asked me to.

He did?

He said that as soon as his son saw him, he called him Park Il-do.

He had nowhere else to turn,

so he sought me out through the diocese.

I'm the only person who believes in Park Il-do's existence.

What did you talk to my father about?

Actually, we barely even spoke.

He hung up the phone as soon as he heard my voice.

That's it?

What do you mean?

Did my call cause trouble?

As soon as he spoke to you, he got possessed.

Are you saying…

No, more importantly…

You're the last person your father saw.

So?

When did you first start experiencing a connection

with the people who get possessed?

What do you mean?

When coming out of the connection, have you ever found yourself elsewhere?

Like sleepwalking in an unfamiliar place.

Never.

The crucifix is upside down.

Oh, that?

The nail must be loose. It keeps slipping.

I don't see a nail.

What's wrong?

Are you in pain?

No.

It's nothing.

I should get going now.

Yes, Father Yang.

Where are you now?

I'm here to see Mr. Yoon.

He just came to see me.

Why would he…

Listen to me carefully.

I intentionally left the crucifix in my room upside down.

When he touched it,

he had a strange reaction, like he was in pain.

He's never reacted to a crucifix while he was with me.

You only see what you want to see.

Have you really seen him react?

You never even suspected him.

Just like your brother.

You could be next.

I told you

demons will hunt their targets to the very end.

I'll go meet Mr. Yoon.

Okay.

Keep an eye on him.

Trust me and watch him carefully.

And be careful.

Don't believe what he says.

Remain suspicious and stay on guard.

NATIONAL UNIFICATION PARTY

What the heck?

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

Okay.

There's another person who drives this car, right?

I just started working today,

so I don't really know.

I see.

Bong-sang.

Gutsy, where are you now?

Hey!

What's going on?

You shouldn't drive if you're sick.

Stop nagging. Just get in.

Why?

You told me

about a ghost named Park Il-do.

I've decided to believe you.

What brought this on?

Someone visited my hospital room earlier.

He said he knows the ghost, Park Il-do.

He said the same thing.

That he was possessed before.

Who did?

A complete stranger.

We're going to meet him now. He asked for you. He wants to talk.

He'll be waiting for us.

Where exactly is this? Is this the right way?

I told you it is.

Bong-sang, drop me off here and go back to the hospital.

No way.

You can't go alone. It's not safe.

A weirdo showed up at your place yesterday.

You might have messed with something dangerous.

You're sick. You're not helping.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry. You got hurt because of me.

At least you know.

Yes, I got hurt because of you.

Because of you.

My wife and Ye-in were crying so much.

Honestly, if I die, who's going to take care of them?

Because of you,

my Ye-in almost became an orphan.

All because you keep going after Park Hong-ju and causing problems.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

It will all be better soon.

Very soon.

Hand me that water in the back. I'm thirsty.

Goodness, why are you drinking so much water?

I know. I've been so thirsty.

Grandpa!

Dad!

No, Dad. Stay with me!

Why did you meet Father Yang?

None of your business. Stay out of it.

We need to talk.

- I have nothing to talk about. - I do.

I need to check something with you.

What is it?

I'm asking just in case.

Can you…

see out of your right eye?

What?

Can you see out of it?

My right eye?

You think I'm Park Il-do?

You said it yourself.

The only other people there that day were your father and your grandfather.

So there's only one possibility left.

And that's you.

So I'm ruling out that possibility

and any unnecessary suspicion.

Your brother and Father Yang were there too.

It can't be Father Yang. He's an exorcist.

Your brother got possessed too, even though he was an exorcist.

Just cover your left eye.

I just need to check your eye.

How can you suspect me?

After everything we've been through…

Why won't you do it? Can you really not see?

That's it. We're done.

Every victim of Park Il-do's possession stabbed their eyes and died.

Why did only you survive?

Both the exorcism and the shamanistic ritual failed.

Maybe even you don't realize it.

So prove it to me.

Prove you're not Park Il-do.

Prove it?

Your eyes and your face.

I can see them perfectly.

Anything else?

Are you really okay?

You don't look so good.

I said I'm fine!

No, you're not. Let's head back.

Your wife is worried.

My wife?

Oh, the wife you almost made a widow?

Don't you dare say her name.

Don't!

Mr. Yoon.

Mr. Yoon.

Did you just…

YOON HWA-PYEONG

What? Is that Yoon Hwa-pyeong calling?

I told you not to contact that bastard!

Hwagyeong-ri 90-gil!

Detective Kang.

- What's wrong? - Detective Kang is in danger.

Snap out of it. Don't let the ghost possess you.

You mustn't give in to them.

When we meet for the second time,

stab wounds will appear all over your body…

The prayers aren't working!

You keep staring at me during the prayer.

Kang Gil-yeong will die because of you too.

You'll see your mother soon.

Park Il-do!
