The Chosen: Forbidden Cave

Now, the psychiatric diagnosis for this patient is

dissociative identity disorder due to dysthymia.

Thus, she suffers from multiple personality disorder.

As you can see,

it's an ordinary room with 4 walls and a ceiling.

But, how could the camera capture her like that?

There are two ways.

She could look down on the camera

standing from a furniture that's 2.8 meters tall.

Or, she could be hanging upside down

from the ceiling that's 3.3 meters high.

See the mirror on the opposite wall?

It shows the wall where the camera's attached.

No furnitures, right?

Then, there's only one explanation.

She's hanging upside down from the ceiling.

But, as seen on the screen,

there's nothing on the ceiling to grab onto.

It's a flat ceiling.

The shamans diagnosed her with spirit sickness and she got

a ritual receiving the spirit.

Of course, her mental illness disappeared after that.

It's the same as the previous patient.

Now, the last case.

She also suffers from dissociative identity disorder.

Our research team measured the height to be 1.15 meters.

As you can see, it's just plain ground.

This is the profile report for this woman jumping great heights.

She's 52 years old and suffers from severe arthritis.

How could she jump like that with her physical condition?

Any logical medical basis? Close to none.

The shamans also diagnosed her with spirit sickness.

This was the day of her ritual.

We've looked at a total of eight cases.

These are the real cases of spirit sickness.

It also shows why we can't simply make a medical diagnosis.

- Any questions? - Professor.

I thought only those who had to become shamans had the sickness.

Are there any common symptoms?

They don't have to become shamans for having spirit sickness.

But, there are common symptoms.

People with spirit sicknes suffer from...

nightmares in general,

optical illusions,

and have hallucinations.

But, these symptoms are shared by most other mental illnesses.

So, it's hard to differentiate with normal diagnostic methods.

Is it the same when the illness occurs due to family history?

Professor, have you ever experienced spirit sickness?

Excuse me!

Professor! Professor!

Don't you think this is too much?

When I visit you at the hospital you say you have a patient.

Excuse me.

When I visit you at school you just ignore me.

Can't answer your call now...

Producer J00 Hae-in came by again.

It's just a short interview. So, why don't you do it?

She's been following you around for 3 months now.

Your next patient is LEE Ok-ryun.

Please show her where to sit.

How are you? Do you still hear strange sounds?

Yes.

You still hear them even when you're taking your pills?

Yes. I think it's gotten worse.

What kind of sound is it?

Well...

It's like saek, saek...

Like grinding metal and sometimes a child's laughter.

Now, take a deep breath in and exhale.

Focus on this sound.

When I count to five, slowly close your eyes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Ms. LEE Ok-ryun?

Ms. LEE, can you hear me?

Ms. LEE?

Yes.

Yes, I can.

Where are you now?

It feels stuffy.

I don't know where I am.

I can't see anything.

It's just black...

Take another deep breath in and exhale.

Then, it'll get brighter.

Yes.

It's getting brighter.

Huh?

Do you see something?

A baby.

A newborn baby.

My baby.

Are you sure it's your baby?

Yes. I'm sure. It's my baby.

It's my baby who I miss so much.

It's not your baby!

- Ms. LEE? - Not your baby! It's my sister!

Who... are you?

I'm Hae-jung.

Why are you there, Hae-jung?

I don't know.

Some lady told me to play here with my sister.

What lady?

The lady with a cone hat.

Is there anybody else next to you besides the baby?

No, there's nobody.

Hey!

Who's that?

Can you see the man holding a bamboo?

Who is this man?

Can you tell this man how you met the lady with the cone hat?

Be a good girl.

When I count to three, tell the man how you met.

One.

Two.

Three.

So, I'm not mentally ill?

No. You have stress disorder due to having had a stillborn.

Hearing sounds is not due to an illness.

Then, what is it?

Have you been to an exorcism rite recently?

They said my baby can pass on to a better place.

Was there anything you were told to take home?

A baby blanket.

If I place it by my bed, they said it'll ease my pain.

Take the blanket here and ask them to burn it.

She'll perform a ritual for the dead.

She's a famous shaman who gives great rituals for the dead.

Continue to take your medications for depression.

For the next 6 months, come in once every month

to receive treatment like today.

All right.

You did great today.

After getting treatment,

I felt very relieved.

I no longer hear strange metal sounds.

Do you remember anything else from your treatment session?

It felt like I was dreaming...

But, do I have to do this?

No.

You scared me!

Yeah, right.

You won't get any results when you're hanging around here.

No matter how much I go at him, I'm not getting any response.

So, Why'd you pick SHIN Jin-myung?

Other shamans are dying to get on TV.

All the celebrities line up to get his ritual service.

A psychiatry specialist as well as a famous psychic healer.

Plus, he's the son of the Great Shaman SHIN Tae-eul.

What could be more dramatic?

Drama? We make documentaries!

It's been 3 months already. Think you can reel him in?

He's infamous for not doing TV shows.

I have to reel him in.

For the past 3 years on this program,

I never missed a program slot.

Living like this...

I'm going to end it now.

There're ghosts everywhere.

I can hear them in my sleep.

Soo-hae...

Yes.

When?

ROOM 8 MEMORIAL ALTAR. DECEASED: LEE JU-YEOL.

The place is filled with wreaths to run a flower shop.

But, hardly any people.

- Can't see the daughter-in-law. -I heard she's bad luck.

Since she came into the family,

relatives died one after another.

Even in this car accident, she was with him.

But, her husband died and she lived.

Jang-seok's mom visited her at the hospital.

She says the wife was barely injured.

She didn't look like the kind to bring bad luck.

She's from a good family. I heard they're really rich.

So what? I heard she lost her parents at an early age.

- Stop talking. Gives me the chills. - Doctor SHIN!

Can you give us a minute?

Yeah. Say your last good byes.

It's a vindictive soul. A very powerful one.

Who are you?

My name is SHIN Jin-myung.

Ju-yeol and I worked together as army doctors.

Thank you for coming.

But, if you came for the dead, you should go to the funeral hall.

Is there anything else?

Ju-yeol sent me an e-mail before. Did he say anything to you?

So, you're the psychiatrist

who sees ghosts.

Yes, I am.

Ju-yeol talked about you...

Sorry, but can I call you by your name?

Please call me Director KIM. I run an an museum.

Mommy!

Mommy! I drew you!

Can't you see mommy is talking to guests?

Please continue.

What did that man say?

He wanted to get treatment together with you.

Treatment?

Director KIM, I hope there aren't any misunderstanding.

But, you showed symptoms of mental illness and sleepwalking.

Did he also tell you that I saw ghosts?

It seems he was very afraid of me.

If it's about that, I have nothing to say nor should we meet again.

Well, then.

Mommy!

- Mommy! - Ma'am! Wake up!

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Ma'am! Ma'am! Wake up!

Get the doctor in charge!

Ma'am! Wake up!

Who...?

Did you often go unconscious?

I wasn't like this before. But, recently I keep forgetting.

Even though I definitely didn't fall asleep,

I suddenly wake up surprised.

And, I can't remember anything up to that point.

I guess this sleepwalking symptom was

what Ju-yeol was talking about in the e-mail.

My husband and I knew well it was not sleepwalking.

And, I don't know what acting like another person really means.

Are you talking about when you get possessed?

Let's start treatment as soon as the funeral's over.

If you hesitate and miss this opportunity,

it could become a greater problem.

Call me after you give it some thought.

You're asking me to act as a spy, right?

Hey, why are you so negative?

You said you saw the series on great shamans.

Let's say we're collaborating on making a great program.

Those priests in the series were all reputable in this field.

Those fakers were no great shamans.

Doctor SHIN isn't interested in showing souls or ghosts.

He's only interested in treating his patients.

So, I'll film the process in an objective and fair way.

This really is a fair and objective method, huh?

I heard from Gundam fans that this is a really rare item.

By the way,

how did you know that I like Gundam?

Ms. KIM!

I'm sorry for your recent loss. Huh?

Is it the rude version today?

I don't know what to make of her.

Now, say goodbye to your mom.

Mommy, can't I stay with you?

- Sorry. Please give us a minute. -All right.

Your heart gets weaker when you cry. So, don't cry.

Can you be brave without me, Se-yon?

Like you promised me, be good and stay for the all-day class. OK?

OK. But, today, are you a good mom or a bad mom?

Of course, I'm the good mom.

I'll always be the good mom for you. You trust me, right?

I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance,

and that you cannot tolerate evil men...

You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name...

Keum-ju!

I don't think that piece from Tibet can make it on time.

Any substitutes?

Sorry, I haven't yet...

We've only a few days till the exhibition opening.

When everyone's crazy busy, why is even your work sloppy?

I'm sorry.

Replace one with AHN's piece and the rest, go check the basement.

OK. I'll go right now.

Huh?

Is somebody there?

Who's there?

I think Ju-yeol's death was human bridge.

It's when bad things happen to relatives of people

who refuse the spirit?

Considering the recent accident and what happened to the relatives.

Yeah. When I saw her, there was definitely something.

Journalist CHUNG!

You know that Daum Museum of An in Myung-ryoon area?

Yeah, that one.

Can I get some info about that place?

I was a bit suprised by your sudden phone call.

With an exhibition coming up,

I thought it best to first stop any concerns of employees.

But, who drew the portrait of the shaman?

Ju-yeol sent me the photo of that painting before.

It's from the private collection of my aunt, the former director.

The painter was LEE Shin-ja, my aunt's college friend.

It was the painter's last work.

YUP.

ls the painting related to what's happening?

I can't say for sure.

But, I think Ju-yeol had his reasons when he sent it to me.

Why don't you come to the hospital for a checkup?

Se-yon, what're you doing? It's time for bed.

Se-yon.

What's wrong?

Se-yon!

Se-yon!

Se-yon!

Professor, let me in.

Hey, wait!

This is really important!

You didn't know, right?

I got it from a friend in the news bureau.

It's an unreleased news reel.

You'll get more info about Ms. KIM once you see it.

What is it...

that you want?

I finally get the question that I wanted to hear.

Interview. You don't have to do it.

Instead, let me film you conducting psychic healing.

Also, Ms. KIM's treatment process.

She wouldn't agree to that.

Doctor!

Help me, please!

Please help me!

I will root it out!

The day of judgment will come.

In the name of Jesus,

- I will destroy the evil seed. - The female college student

was rescued after she disappeared while visiting Jeju island.

KIM disappeared last August while on a hiking trip with friends.

After 3 months, at around 11 p.m. last night,

she was discovered by the police searching Kimnyung area.

According to the police, she was kidnapped by Pastor KANG...

Ms. KIM, you have to tell me the whole truth.

The woman in the screen is me.

But, I really don't remember anything from then.

Iwoke up and my hair turned white overnight.

And, my eyes turned like this.

Actually, my parents were not my biological parents.

I was adopted at a very young age.

I became aware about this when I went to college.

After asking around, I found the orphanage I'm from in Jeju Island.

I went there and met that man. Then, that happened.

Is what I'm going through related to what happened then?

I can't make a hasty conclusion.

In my opinion, I think you have spirit sickness.

Bad things happening around you seem to be because of it.

Spirit sickness doesn't occur because something happened.

It's like fate.

My husband also said so, too.

He said I should get the ritual to become a shaman.

But, how can I really do that?

Let alone my life,

I could never let Se-yon live as a shaman's daughter.

I believed I could protect Se-yon.

But, I don't know what to do now.

If I leave Se-yon, will she get better?

Just because a spirit chose you, you don't have to become a shaman.

Everyone can choose their own fate.

First, we need to find out what spirit came into you.

Let's get ready.

Ms. KIM Keum-ju?

It keeps stopping at the same place.

At a really old building, like a church.

Her memory of the kidnap in Jeju Island is closed off.

The problem is that's where the answer is.

My snake...

My snake...?

It's the Jeju Island dialect.

It means 'snake'.

Can you find out where that pastor is now?

Yes, of course.

If he's been released for a month, would he be in Jeju Island?

Let's first find Pastor YOO, KANG's only visitor in prison.

Let's check out the Snake Cave on our way.

Ah, so nice here.

I like it here every time I come here.

Have you been inside the Snake Cave, too?

No.

It's like a taboo.

There's the legend and also many people died here.

The town elders never allowed me to go near it.

They called it the Snake Cave for a very long time.

It's where they offered virgins every year to the white snake.

Since the noblemen wouldn't have offered their daughters,

the daughters of the lower class would've been killed off.

During the April 3rd Struggle,

town people were branded as commies and traitors.

So, the security force slaughtered them.

No wonder it feels so chilly here.

Elders say Jeju Island was pure hell back then.

The stench of blood was all over the place.

Such madness will create vindictive ghosts.

It's chilly. And, lfeel like I'm hearing things.

You could be.

With all the vindictive spirits of the slaughtered people.

Those spirits seem to have made this place their home.

Then, did such a spirit transfer into Ms. KIM?

Considering how she was kept in the cave for months,

lwouldn't be surprised if a vicious ghost got hold of her.

Ji-kwang, do you see ghosts, too?

Ji-kwang is a born medium taking after his grandmother.

He's like a soul interpreter connecting humans with spirits.

Oh, my god!

Why'd you do that?

Sorry.

You scared me.

After graduating the seminary,

he and I came here to Jeju.

His father passed away here.

So, it was special to Pastor KANG.

Pastor KANG's father was an officer in the security force.

He came here during the April 3rd Struggle.

Did Pastor KANG also work at the frontier church?

Yes.

I came here soon after and built a new church.

Pastor KANG remained in the Kimnyung area.

He worked hard. He was young and he had a great sense of duty.

But, when I saw him 3 years later, he seemed strange.

He said that he found out that the devil killed his father.

He said if the devil isn't defeated by the holy spirit,

then, there will always be trouble.

He said he caught her hiding in Sungji Orphanage.

The girl was even pregnant.

It was such an odd sight. So, I left without a word.

And, I never saw Pastor KANG ever again.

He disappeared for years.

Did you hear why he kidnapped her?

Since you visited him in prison, you did see him again, right?

He said he failed to burn the devil's nest.

He said he had to do that before he dies.

Back then, he acted like a crazy person.

- That's what it's expressing. - Mommy!

Oh. Se-yon!

This is my daughter.

- Say hello, Se-yon. - Hello!

- Want to see the paintings? -Yes!

Now, look at this!

Ms. KIM, can you hear me?

Where are you now?

I don't know where.

It's dark and the floor's wet.

What can you see around you?

Who's talking to me?

She asks who's talking to her?

Who are you?

Who wants to know?

Why are you there?

Because I like to.

I feel comfortable with her.

Are there any other? Since when were you there?

It's been a while.

Ever since I played in the cave with the white snake shaman.

Who's the white snake shaman?

Ms. KIM.

Ms. KIM, can you hear me?

Yes.

Can you see around you better?

It's brighter so I can see well.

Good. Let's get you back.

When I count to five, slowly open your eyes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

As expected, your condition's due to the spirits from the Snake Cave.

The treatment, did it go well?

It's difficult to repose the vindictive soul at one go.

It'll take time but it'll gradually get better.

Please come once more this week.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Knead the dough and sprinkle the flour like this.

Mommy, you're good!

- Do n? ' Yes!

- Want to try? -Yes!

Then, try it with this much.

Mommy's the hedghog. Se-yon's the squirrel.

Barn!

Now, put on the eyes and we're done!

Why? Don't like the eye?

No. It's not the right color.

What color do you want it to be?

Ma'am, do you need anything?

What's this?

Well, that's because so many bad things are happening.

- Someone said that would... - Why make more trouble?

Everything's fine now.

I don't like those things either.

But, are ghosts picky about who they choose?

Auntie!

Oh, dear.

Yes, Ms. KIM.

Doctor, look at what happened to Se-yon.

Please calm down.

Are Ju-yeol's things still in his study room?

Yes.

He caught her hiding in Sungji Orphanage.

The problem is that the spirit has moved into Se-yon.

Normally, spirits don't move to another host.

There is a reason for this.

We have to first find out whose spirit it is.

When your husband died, I saw a very powerful vindictive soul.

Like a priest or a shaman.

If that's true, then it's very dangerous.

If such a person became a vindictive spirit,

an ordinary ritual won't work.

We have to identify the spirit and

conduct an eradication ritual.

Then, what do we do now?

We have to find Pastor KANG no matter what.

- Se-yon. - Mommy.

Ms. LEE Young-rae?

It's urgent.

What's your relation with Ms. LEE Young-rae?

I'm her family.

Born 1951. LEE Young-rae.

The consignor is at 61-87 Kimnyung, Jeju Town, North Jeju County.

Ms. CHO Soon-him.

It's here.

Is anybody home?

Who is it?

What brings you here?

Come for fortunetelling?

No, grandma.

We're looking for someone.

To ask about LEE Young-rae.

Who?

Ms. LEE Young-rae, ma'am.

Do you know this person?

How do you know her?

She asks what's the relation?

I'm looking for my family.

I really have to know who this person was.

Of course I know her.

She really looks like her mother.

Mother?

Is this my mother?

The newborn brought by Divine Mother stayed with me.

This isn't LEE Young-rae.

She says Divine Mother brought home a newborn baby and raised her.

And, this isn't LEE Young-rae.

Then, who is this person?

Was LEE Young-me a shaman'?

Young-rae's mother was the shaman.

Suk-jllng-

Is this person Suk-jung?

Why do you want to know about Suk-jung?

Just go now.

Please help us once.

It's a matter of my daughter's life.

Please help us this once.

Oh, you poor thing.

How come you're still bound by the ties?

Hey!

Hey! What's wrong?

YOu!

YOu!

And!

You'll all die.

On the same day and time.

What's she talking about?

So, we all die at the same day and time?

No, she didn't get any sleep.

Stop talking nonsense!

How can all these people die like that?

- Will the volcano explode? - My child.

Why do you say that?

Will the town be in big trouble?

People will die by the dozens.

More than hundreds and thousands.

You'll die and get stuck in a pit.

Nobody can avoid that.

After that incident,

town people harrassed Divine Mother to cast out Suk-jung.

Divine Mother made Suk-jung escape to Snake Cave.

That year, there was a bloodbath as predicted by Suk-jung.

During the day, the security forces killed anybody

accused of being a communist.

At night, the guerilla force came down from the mountains

and killed those who helped the security force.

What's that?

It's food for the elder in the cave.

The elder in the cave?

Fuck! The communist elder?!

Let go.

- No, sir. - You traitor bitch!

No, sir. No.

I'm a shaman from Kimnyung. I'm the cave's shaman.

- Help me! Help! - Come here!

And, how unfortunate she was!

After getting raped by those bastards,

she became pregnant.

Then, is that baby...

Ms. LEE Young-rae?

After a couple of months,

a strange rumor spread in town.

How can 30 people die of snake bites in 1 month?

The police said they didn't find not even one snake.

There's no way of seeing snakes in the middle of the winter.

Is that how they died?

Yes, that's right.

The security force killed many.

By the way, many people saw a woman going inside the cave at night.

She wasn't walking, but wriggling in.

Her eyes were red like the snake and her hair was white as snow.

It's said that she was also due to give birth.

Nobody's going anywhere near the Snake Cave.

To get revenge, Divine Mother realized

Suk-jung received the snake spirit in her body.

Mother.

Isn't that Suk-jung?

Suk-jung! You're alive!

And, you had the baby on our own.

You poor thing.

I know that you are bitter. Still, you can't do this.

Only evil spirits do these things. It's not for a human to do.

Plus, you're a shaman.

Stop it right now.

Stop!

Suk-jung! Why are you doing this?

Don't harass innocent people!

Stop it right now!

Did you really offer yourself to the snake spirit?

I'll kill all the men in the security forces!

I'll make their descendants pay for the bloodshed.

If I can't, then my daughter will.

If she can't, then her daughter will.

I'll definitely take revenge on them and their children.

Then, did you inherit Divine Mother's divine knife?

It's a divine knife once used to catch the white snake in the cave.

It was handed down to all the great shamans here.

After Divine Mother died, it was kept inside a shrine.

But, Young-rae came and took it.

LEE Young-rae did?

At first, I didn't give it to her when she came with a young pastor

who she said will break the ill fate of the family.

She said the knife will break the curse so I gave it to her.

Would the pastor be Pastor KANG?

Is Pastor KANG's church still there?

It was a mission house in the mid-mountain area.

After police caught him for kidnapping many years ago,

it's probably not there anymore.

What? When?

Stop! There!

This man. It's Pastor KANG Ji-man.

Se-yon.

Please call the police.

The kidnapper is Pastor KANG Ji-man.

He's the Snake Cave kidnapper 12 years ago.

Officer KIM, where are you? All right. Come quickly.

I checked the security footage with the family here.

The suspect is that Snake Cave kidnapping pastor.

Yeah.

Pastor KANG Ji-man.

The Lord said unto him,

do not fear disciplining the child.

If you whip that child,

the child's soul will be saved from hell.

The Lord said unto him,

do not fear disciplining the child.

If you whip that child,

the child's soul will be saved from hell.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both.

You've taken on your father's sins.

Think you can defeat me again?

How dare you covet the power of the Lord!

Be gone, you evil spirit!

Be gone!

You've been here before, right?

When I was kidnapped, I was brought here.

Se-yon.

A sign will appear for those who believe.

In my name shall they cast out devils,

they shall speak with new tongues.

As wax melts before the fire,

may the wicked perish before the Lord.

Se-yon.

Se-yon!

Se-yon! Se-yon!

Se-yon!

It's Mommy. Mommy's here.

Baby, are you hurt anywhere? Are you all right?

Mommy's sorry.

Mommy's sorry. Come over here.

No use. She's gone. Let her go.

Don't be so resentful.

This child's body also came from me.

I'm just taking that back.

No. Please give back Se-yon to me.

Not Se-yon. Please give her back to me, grandma.

Please save my Se-yon.

Please give her back, grandma.

I'll give you my body.

Keum-ju!

- Please take my body! Grandma! - Keum-ju!

Not Se-yon!

Please! Please give her back to me, grandma! Grandma!

Today, are you a good mom or a bad mom?

Se-yon!

Se-yon!

Se-yon!

Doctor SHIN!

Die, you devil!

No!

Look, it's now or never.

Now! You have to kill it now!

Right now!

Doctor SHIN!

Se-yon! Se-yon!

The divine knife.

Use the divine knife!

Mommy!

- Mommy. - Oh, Se-yon!

Mommy!

Doctor, please.

My Se-yon... my Se-yon...

If you don't kill that body now,

we can't break free from the curse!

Just do it!

His father was the one to kill.

His father also placed the curse.

I'm going to kill you all!

For generations to come, you remember that!

I will kill you all!

- Se-yon. Se-yon. - Mommy!

Mommy!

Doctor SHIN,

please break this curse for Se-yon's sake.

Mommy!

Stab her!

Mommy! mommY- Wake up!

In my name shall they cast out devils,

they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents,

and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them,

they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken...

he was received up to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where,

the Lord working with them,

and confirming the word with signs following.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy.

It's been 3 months.

Nothing bad will happen, right?

We'll have to wait for now.

She'll soon wake up.

She'll wake up for Se-yon's sake.

Right, Se-yon?

Ms. KIM's guardians, the Chief would like to see you.

Stay with your mom for a bit.

Yes, sir.

I'm visiting Ms. KIM at the hospital right now.
