Original subtitles

Don't... Don't come near.

In Northern Europe during the Middle Ages,

there's a legend about how a person...

turns into a wolf during full moon...

and preys on livestock or humans.

When wolves cry, it's called howling.

Doing so allows the rest of the pack to know where it is.

Perhaps, werewolves howl...

because they yearn for the past.

EPISODE 1

There's a full moon today.

Whom do you miss the most?

This is "The Face I Miss" by Min Hae Kyung.

Many nights have passed

But I still long for you

Even though I shed tears of sorrow

You're still the face I miss

Two animal hospital workers were arrested...

for illegally burying 100t of medical waste...

in a mountain in Choweol-dong, Gangrim.

I am currently at the mountain where the medical waste...

was illegally buried.

Among the medical waste...

was IV fluid that was used four years ago.

There are concerns of a serious case...

of a secondary infection.

They committed this crime in order to save money.

Noh, the director of the hospital,

is currently being sought after by the police.

This is Park Dae Gi of HBS.

The Santa Kidnapping and Murder Case...

has still been in a fog for the past six months.

WARNING, RESTRICTED AREA

Where am I?

Is this the netherworld?

Why is smoke coming out from my body?

What is this wound?

What's wrong with my skin?

I feel no pain.

There's no sensation.

What's wrong...

with my face?

What is this sound?

I can't speak.

I can only make weird noises.

I don't remember anything.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

And...

where do I need to go?

EPISODE 1: THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN OUR TOWN

Stay still. The camera's shaking.

Are you still not done yet?

Isn't it strange?

Why are there girl's clothes when only a man lives there?

And that Christmas tree.

I'm positive he's Santa.

All right. Hurry up.

Darn it.

Please...

What's going on?

Darn it.

You crazy wench! If it gets aired on TV,

I'll throw you into the fiery pits!

You darn reporters!

"Reporters"?

Oh, I came here to cover an article regarding Fiery Sauna.

I think I found the wrong place.

You must have a daughter,

seeing how there are women's clothes.

I do.

Wait. That's a camera.

- What's wrong? - Run!

What is it? What?

Bite them.

- Time out. - Hurry up!

DEAD MEAT

Hurry!

- Darn it! - Run!

The car keys!

Right.

- Where are they? - I don't have them!

Why not?

Brace yourself.

Yes, sir.

I'll go this way. You, check the house.

Yes, sir.

Seon Ji!

Gong Seon Ji !

- Seon Ji! - Cha Do Hyun!

Over here! I'm over here!

Let go.

I said, let go. Let go!

Go away! Let go!

Seon Ji, are you in there?

Do Hyun, I'm in here! Do something!

Come here.

Come here. Good boy.

Come here. What a good boy.

Hurry up and come outside.

Hey, where's the producer?

The producer?

Detective Cha.

Gosh. You guys are just amazing.

Since the police are here,

I'll explain everything to the director myself.

There he is. There.

Is it him?

Yes, it's him.

He's Santa, isn't he?

I'm afraid he isn't.

Don't be ridiculous. It's him.

Look carefully.

The scar, the eyebrows,

and the mole next to his lips. It's definitely him.

Well...

He wasn't in the country on the day of the incident.

He wasn't? Are you sure?

- Yes. - Did we fail again?

How many times has it been?

I was really confident this time.

He may not be Santa,

but he's a child molester.

I've never lured anyone.

The kids visited me because they wanted to see my dog.

That's exactly why you're a criminal, you scumbag.

- Stand up. - Don't touch me.

Where in the world is he?

BEWARE OF WILD ANIMALS

I'm hungry.

Is that a rabbit?

Did I just eat...

a live rabbit?

I'm no longer...

a human.

I'd rather die than to live...

like this.

I can't die even though I want to.

I'm the living dead. A zombie.

How did I become a zombie?

Can I become a human again?

"Human"? You?

That's enough to make a cat laugh.

Detective, this is...

This is defamation of character.

I'm going to sue her for assault.

She gave an innocent man a bloody nose.

You're innocent?

Then is your ankle monitor an accessory?

Gosh, what a crazy woman.

Are you done talking?

What do you think?

What do you think?

- You're worth less than a dog. - Hey.

- Hey. - What's wrong with you?

You're worth less than a dog, so how could you raise one?

Hey! You better not raise any dogs from now on!

You scumbag!

GANGRIM POLICE STATION

My phone.

Right. The dog.

I'm sure something's going on.

It's either the apocalypse or a zombie virus.

I should go to the town first. I need to know what's going on.

I'm in such a rush, but why am I so slow?

Where did I put my clothes?

Go.

Go away.

I'm sure I heard it somewhere around here.

There's a human.

Why does she look normal?

Is someone there?

Darn it.

- I must retreat. - Excuse me. Who are you?

Why am I so darn slow?

Excuse me, but that's my hoodie.

Do you live around here?

Why is she flashing the light at me?

Sir, you can keep the hoodie.

But could you give me my phone that's in the pocket?

Pocket?

I'll take it out myself.

No.

What is this smell?

Where is this sweet smell coming from?

Hello?

Yes, I found it.

Let me call you back in a bit.

Sir.

- This is all that I have. - Darn it.

You should go to the sauna with this money.

Also...

Please get treated for your alcoholism.

It could be fatal, okay?

Here you go.

Okay, then. Goodbye.

Did I just try to eat a human being?

No way.

Is this the natural instinct of a zombie?

No.

I refuse to live as a flesh-eating zombie.

To prevent that from happening,

I should fill my stomach with something else.

A bird egg would be okay, right?

I'm sorry. I'll just have one.

Darn this zombie.

I've been starving for three days now.

When I become extremely famished,

I lose consciousness.

When I open my eyes once again,

I've consumed another sacrifice.

"Tripe Stew"?

What is this?

Tripe is the best.

Maybe I should quit...

and open a tripe restaurant.

Don't you think I'd do it well?

Where on earth is this Santa jerk?

I also have experience doing colonoscopy.

Do you know what's funny?

The more bad guys I find,

imitations keep coming out.

It's upsetting.

I should've been a cop.

If you did, you would've been fired in less than a month.

Did you have to pay any settlement money this time?

I did.

I begged to write the agreement..

and pay in three month instalment.

Three months?

Does your sister know?

She'd go crazy if she finds out.

In fact, I also lost the clothes.

They were my sister's.

Are you sure you lost it?

You probably gave it to someone.

I went to find my phone the other day,

and I saw an alcoholic.

He was walking with no shoes on.

Only if I had more money,

I would've given it to him.

I felt bad.

You're not the one to worry about him.

You haven't finished paying the settlement money from last time.

Be quiet. What if my sister...

You still haven't paid the settlement money from last month?

That's not it, Seon Young.

I told you to be quiet.

I'm going to kill you.

Is your job as a writer of "In-Depth 70 Minutes"...

beating people?

Why do you use your salary...

to pay the settlement money?

Seon Young. I'll pay it off soon.

I don't have much left.

Why don't you hit me?

You can make up for the living expenses...

with the settlement money.

Seon Young. What are you doing?

You're making Bo Ra feel uncomfortable.

Don't worry. We're like family.

Keep going, Seon Young.

If it's "In-Depth 70 Minutes", go in depth for only 70 minutes.

You keep tracking every day,

but you get paid like chicken feed.

Why report other places?

I'll report this broadcasting station!

Sorry.

WORLD KING AGENCY

I'll finish it soon.

Just give me a minute please.

What about kimchi?

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

Jjajangmyeon is best with kimchi, not pickled radish.

My boss told me to charge you for kimchi.

Why didn't he just order at kimchi jjigae place?

Give me the coupon.

Where in China are you from?

I'm from Yanbian.

Yanbian.

If I get to open a branch abroad,

I'm going to open it in Yanbian, China.

Do you even have customers?

I heard Moo Young Agency across the street...

is doing way better.

The word says Kim Moo Young is leaving Gangrim soon.

Once that happens, the only number one of Gangrim is...

me, Lee Seong Rok.

You can leave the empty bowl outside the door.

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

How much does Mr. Kang pay you?

I get the basic pay.

Then...

would you like to work with me?

No.

Yes, boss.

Why do you take forever to deliver jjajangmyeon?

If you're going to work like this, stop coming from tomorrow.

I hired you only because you begged me.

You should be thankful.

- There are so many people... - I quit.

desperate to work...

What have you done?

He should cherish his employees.

I can't believe he treats a bilingual...

like this.

That's very unfortunate.

If you work with me,

we won't be an employer and an employee,

but we'll work as a human to human.

Well...

I'll not only pay you basic salary, but also provide room and board.

Room and board?

In fact, if I open a branch in Yanbian,

I'll consider you as a branch manager.

You look like you could be a branch manager.

Yanbian branch manager?

I miss my mother in my hometown.

It's been over a year since I met my mother.

I don't mean to be rude,

but how old are you this year?

Boss. You may talk to me casually.

I turned 28 this year.

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

What...

Are you serious?

Yes. I was born in 1992. I turned 28 this year.

You must've gone through so much in Korea.

What on earth is going on in Korea?

EXPRESS BUS TO BUSAN FROM SEOUL

KANGHO EXPRESS

The zombie virus is spreading here.

We must rush to Busan.

It's a zombie.

Stay right here. I'll finish it quick.

Be careful.

WEEKEND MOVIE SPECIAL, "FAST TRAIN TO BUSAN"

I could finally understand them after I became a zombie.

Tell them. Say it.

Why can't you say that it hurts!

- It took a while. - Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Your hand...

HONEY

IT'S ME. I'M NOT A ZOMBIE.

IT'S OKAY. EVEN IF I BITE YOU, YOU WON'T GET INFECTED.

ALL MY TEETH ARE IMPLANTED.

What are you saying, you zombie?

You jerk. Hey.

Hey. Die.

Die.

Die!

You dirty zombie!

Humans were cruel.

So many zombies died...

without a word.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

CHOWEOL-DONG VILLAGE HALL, GANGRIM

That day I realized.

If I don't want to die unfairly in humans' hands,

I must walk like a human,

talk like a human,

and live like a human.

To protect myself from humans,

I must look like a human perfectly.

Even if the path is...

long and winding.

I must survive.

Peter...

Piper...

picked...

I want to return to a human!

Spring.

Summer.

Fall.

Winter.

And spring again.

A lot changed in a year.

The deity didn't betray my effort.

Even if I'm a zombie.

MINOR ABDUCTION AND MURDER SUSPECT WANTED

"BODY FOUND 4 MONTHS AFTER ABDUCTION"

Why on earth...

did he make us lose the sound?

Is it...

because of that show?

"WICKED ACT OF SANTA, DISAPPEARED SOUND"

My goodness.

What a mess. What a mess.

How come she only looks for the Santa all year long?

Does she even eat properly?

Gosh. She needs to eat to work.

Poor thing.

Did you stay up all night again?

Are you sure this time?

Don't worry. It will air for sure.

Did you get a call from the witness?

Not yet. I'll keep calling him.

Are you obsessed about this case...

because you feel guilty?

What happened to her isn't your fault.

I feel bad for the girl, but he...

It's not like that.

It's our job to draw attention...

to the unsolved cases, right?

Right.

Would the day to have tripe jeongol ever come?

Zombies have a great sense of smell.

Especially the smell of meat.

It's a human.

I'm craving for humans more and more.

No.

Gosh.

What was that?

Is it a wild animal?

36 hours since slaughtered.

Korean prime pork foreleg.

It has a strong smell of green tea.

This pig grew up eating green tea.

Gosh. I don't like green tea.

I said if you ignore my warning, you'll get hurt.

Humans are cruel.

Is it really dead?

My goodness.

What? It's still alive.

Where is he?

I'm here.

- Per? - Person...

- Office? - Office...

That person...

A key?

What should I do about this human?

You may rest in peace.

How can you feel hungry?

You're crazy. You're insane.

It's not by a human...

nor by a wild boar.

Gosh. That looks good.

Right. I'm a zombie.

Here.

Shoot.

Hey, Gong Seon Ji.

You're back.

- Aunt Seon Ji. - Joon Woo!

Seon Ji. Pass.

I thought you were busy. What made you come here?

I had things nearby, so I dropped by.

Are you undercover? What's the case this time?

Drug dealing? Distribution of pornography? Fraud?

You're such a writer for "In-Depth 70 minutes".

Draw a line between public and private matters, Gong Seon Ji.

Spill out a little.

What are friends for?

We need to help out each other.

Help out?

Don't you know the police bulletin board is a mess after the show airs?

It's better to avoid Superintendent Hwang for a while.

I thought he'd like to see me...

because he may want to be on TV.

You followed him to the bathroom to persuade him.

Did I? You're going to eat, right?

I have to go soon. I just dropped by.

You just dropped by?

Your case sounds urgent.

There's a lady in my town who took lodge money.

Are you working on that case?

- Do you want to know? - Yes.

Actually...

What?

Joon Woo, let's play soccer.

Cha Do Hyun! How can you do that to me?

Tell me about the case!

Joon Woo, pass me the ball!

Come here!

Take the ball, Joon Woo!

Back at the agency, I searched for missing persons nationwide.

To see if I can find myself.

HWANG, 30S, MISSING FROM GANGRIM A YEAR AGO, IS FOUND IN A LAKE.

This is not me either.

I'm starving.

There were lots to eat at the mountain.

What do I eat here?

A pigeon!

No matter how hungry I am, eating a pigeon seems too much.

Pigeons are full of germs.

Forget it.

I may eat human if I don't eat that.

I heard a pigeon can spread the virus through poop.

I'm a zombie. I can't complain about pigeon virus.

What is he doing?

In our country,

there's a pigeon and horse dish.

It's a dish made with meat...

of boiled pigeon and horse.

Is he doing that to eat the pigeon?

Then he is crazy.

I'm sorry.

DETECTIVE AGENCY, GANGRIM DETECTIVE

There should be only one detective in this world.

Isn't there another one called "Sherlock"?

There should be only one detective in Asia.

There's Conan and Hajime Kindaichi.

Kids don't count!

Kids should be in school. If not, it called child abuse.

I'm sorry.

He was no where to be seen for a while.

I'll make sure that he regrets...

coming back to Gangrim.

We sound so evil.

I can't help it.

I need money to eat.

Since I'm in town where humans live,

I'll have to earn money like them.

A HEADLESS BADGER IN MOUNT CHOWEOL

THERE'S NO SEARCH RESULT.

Did it move its habitat?

It's strange.

A headless badger?

Seon Ji, I almost hit you.

What about a badger, Tae Kyun?

In Mount Choweol, headless wild animals were found.

I think...

- zombies did that. - Zombies?

Zombie's weakness is the head.

And headless wild animals were found.

Why? Instinctively, zombies think...

the other animals' weakness is also the head.

So they start eating from the head.

Tae Kyun,

you're still obsessed with zombies.

Seon Ji.

I'll make a successful comeback.

You know I have so much talent...

to just give up the movie.

Look.

Director Lee Tae Kyun's début film.

It's the story of zombies trying to go to Busan.

The record-breaking blockbuster, "Fast Train to Busan".

For 10 years,

I've been thinking about the reason...

only 23 people watched this movie.

I still can't figure it out.

It's scary that you still haven't figured that out.

This romantic movie, for China, the one you can't see without tears,

"Chinese Zombie's Hug from Behind".

When my sister found out...

you made that with instalment savings,

she had three hair loss spots, that were the size of a nickel.

No, she had four.

That's a lot.

A horror movie of joint productions between Korea and Hong Kong,

"Why Did Hong Kong Granny Ghost Have to Go Back to Hong Kong?"

Why did she have to go to Hong Kong, Tae Kyun?

Ji Seon, Hong Kong granny ghost...

is a hit in the era of longevity.

The movie was just not in the right time.

It's so tragic.

Of course.

Tae Kyun, you're so positive.

That's why you live with my sister.

Of course,

you're the only one who gets how I feel.

I always do.

What did I say will happen when you talk about movies?

You said I'll be dead.

We're so dead.

Gong Seon Ji.

- Yes? - When will you pay your expenses?

Could you give me a week more?

Honey!

It's the part-time job that Song Gang Ho chose.

It's so much labour work!

I didn't come down to the town for this.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? I WANT TO REQUEST.

This old agency gets a customer?

YOU'VE JUST READ.

ARE YOU IGNORING ME? I'LL COME AND FIND YOU NOW.

HOW MUCH IS IT FOR THE JOB?

Why do I have to deal with this wack?

20,000 FOR A PERSON

20,000 for a person, 5,000 for an animal.

DEAL!

I can't do a detective's work.

How long will it take to finish folding those?

With 5,000 dollars, I can hold out for couple months.

But, how do I work as a detective with this face?

This is the best disguise.

Oh, no.

Are you Hodu's dad?

You're the detective?

- Eun Hee, here. - Yes.

Sir, are you really a detective?

How do you become a detective?

Which one is stronger? You or Conan?

Give me what you've told me.

Here.

You have to pay the deposit first.

I don't trust people.

What is this for?

You've said...

20,000 for a person, 5,000 for an animal.

You thought that's 50 cents?

Since I'm out here, I can't go back with empty hands.

I won't!

Hey, booger. If you want to know if your dog is alive,

you have to bring me the rest of 5,000 dollars.

I don't have that much money.

You don't?

Then take out whatever you have now.

Sir, are you taking money from us?

- Taking money? - You're not a detective, are you?

I think he's a fraud.

If you know who I am,

you'll be terrified and poop in your pants.

This is a warning for all you boogers.

Let's just give him 50 cents and go.

I'm late for my academy.

- Let's just go. - Let's go.

Give me back my 50 cents.

Refund is not possible if it is a change of mind by a customer.

That's not fair!

- Give me back my money! - Give him back!

- Give him back now! - Come on!

- Take your hands off of me. - Come on!

- Give him back! - Now!

That 50 cents belongs to Joon Woo.

The ones who commit crime to children...

should be ripped apart into pieces.

Of course.

That's not a human.

That's an animal disguised in human's face.

Are you in disguise, then?

Few days ago, there was a flasher in front of an elementary school.

- Give him back! - Now!

- Give the money back to Joon Woo! - Come on!

- There he is. - What?

Where are you going, Ms. Gong?

- Don't! - Give him back!

- Give him back! - Now!

- Give back the money! - Come on!

Joon Woo!

Aunt Seon Ji!

Are you okay?

Sir, what are you doing there?

Aunt Seon Ji, he's not giving my money back.

He's so cheap.

You don't look like you live around here.

What do you have in your fist?

No need to be scared. In the world of jungle,

you'll be the prey if you look scared.

- There's no need of a third party. - A third party?

My third ego is about to come out.

Do you think you're the first creep I've seen?

Ms. Gong, why are you making big deal?

Let's ask Detective Cha to handle this.

What if he runs away?

A pervert like him should be caught right away.

A pervert? How rude of her to say that?

Sir, can I see your ankle?

I need to see if you're wearing an electronic anklet.

Who is this piece of work?

Come on.

Why? You can't show them to me?

If you're innocent, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

He's not so innocent, I guess.

You have to come to the police station with me.

There are so many witnesses here.

I need to back off for now.

That pervert!

I'm going to get you!

Oh, my.

That bastard!

What? Why is she following me?

You!

- You! - Die!

Die!

Die you dirty zombie!

Stop!

Get him!

Get him!

Stop!

- Let's go. - You have to pay first!

Stop!

Thankfully, zombies don't get tired.

I'll have to borrow this for a minute.

Your aunt was an athlete, right? What sport did she do?

Shot put.

- To the middle! - Middle!

This is how I'll face the end of my life by humans.

To catch the criminal, I need your interview.

Isn't that Detective Kim?

Hey! Detective Kim!

Where is my Hodu?

Who is he?

This is why I don't like zombies.

Do you know what this is?

I'll let you know when I'm happy

Cheers!

Our condolences to Kim So Ri,

who became a star in the sky.

Do you know what you've done?

Is Ms. Gong okay?

Even though he didn't say a word, I could feel a murderous spirit.

The problem is the guy...

who kidnapped after the show.
