Original subtitles

This is crazy.

Do you think this is fun?

Yes. Didn't I tell you that I love horror movies?

My gosh.

Turn it off. I can't stand it.

Okay. I'm sick of it too.

It's okay.

When I get drunk and black out, I act crazy too.

Do you think that's the same as this?

It's similar...

There's a way.

(Episode 10)

Son, I'll make you some delicious fried rice.

Yes, Mom.

Wait. Where are all the frying pans?

Honey, the wash basin's gone too.

Auntie took it all with her.

- Why? - Gong Seon Ji.

I should get her and just...

Dad, why are all these...

- What? - What's wrong?

- They're growing so well. - No.

- Earlier... - My gosh.

It's not good enough.

You'll hit me in the back of the head with these?

Isn't it too cruel to use this?

Even so,

you can't use this on me.

I'm not a mole.

All this is to prevent a catastrophe.

For the peace of Gangrim,

and for you.

What's this? Why is this so heavy?

I used to be a shot putter.

I do this,

then this. What do you think?

- Uncle! - Uncle!

Don't do that.

It ruins my appetite. Don't do it.

Just looking at this must help curb your instinct.

Then this...

and this.

Which of these do you prefer?

Both of them will hurt quite a lot,

but it would be nicer to use what you prefer.

Both will knock you out at once.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Use this.

The frying pan is humiliating.

Deal.

Is this the right thing to do?

If you don't want to get hit in the back of the head,

make sure to eat the chicken and tripe.

If your stomach is somewhat full,

you seem to have less of an appetite for humans.

- Take it. - Me?

Then should I?

I'll go.

Hi, this is Kim Moo Young's Detective Agency.

Mr. Kim?

Just a moment.

Hello, this is Kim Moo Young.

Speak up.

What's wrong? Do you not hear anything?

No one's talking.

Hello?

They hung up.

(Closed Temporarily)

You should close for a while.

Even if we can control your outbreak with frying pans,

I think it's best we reopen...

once we have a clear solution.

There's something I must do before then.

I'd like your help with it.

The only human I can trust...

is you.

Well, if you plead so honestly, sincerely,

and heartfully for my help,

I could take the plunge and help out.

What is it?

Kim Moo Young.

Thanks to him, I found my past...

and caught the person who killed me.

I think it's my turn to return the favour this time.

(Kim Moo Young)

Kim Moo Young, aged 32.

His only family was his father...

who died two years ago.

I think he went to see his father...

and got murdered.

That's why no family visited.

What else?

I found this...

while cleaning out the office.

It's a receipt...

from a hairdresser's.

I see.

(Receipt)

That's it.

This is it?

You've been here for so long,

and this is it?

That's why I'm asking for your help.

My gosh...

(World King Agency)

Jajangmyeon is best with kimchi.

This kimchi was made with crushed Cheongyang chillies.

It tastes fantastic.

You're practically Korean now.

Only the ignorant eat jajangmyeon with pickled radish.

Anyway...

Welcome to World King Agency.

Sir. What brings you here?

It's been a while, Seong Rok.

Yes, sir.

Who is he?

Oh, say hello. He's someone I admire.

Hello.

I heard you work with someone young and cute.

Did that person quit?

That's him.

You must make enough to eat.

We make barely enough to get by.

You have no idea how sad I was...

when I heard you went to prison.

I couldn't sleep.

If I'd known you'd visit,

I'd have ordered your favourite mapa tofu.

Come and have some jajangmyeon.

- What was this? - I don't know.

I'll kill you.

Seong Rok.

Yes, sir.

That fool. Who is he?

Kim Moo Young?

He's the only other PI in Gangrim.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Kim Moo Young seems to trust and rely on me a lot,

but I just think of him as a novice detective.

Kim Moo Young?

Yes, sir.

Would you mind if I asked why you're asking about him?

Someone in prison mentioned him...

and I wondered who he is.

Wow, rumours of him spread that far?

That's really impressive.

- Seong Rok. - Yes, sir.

I need you to do something.

Sure.

What do you want me to do?

(Episode 10: Birth Secret)

This is it.

The last place Kim Moo Young went to a week before he was killed.

Let's go inside and check.

Wait. Did you eat enough?

Don't worry.

I stuffed myself to the brim.

(Cha Bo Ra Hair Salon)

Why does he...

want us to follow Kim Moo Young?

He must have some grand plans.

You're doing something without knowing the reason?

Is he that important a guy to you?

He is my saviour.

My only family.

Kkot Soon.

My beloved Kkot Soon.

He was with me when she crossed the rainbow bridge.

He did the best he could...

to try to save her.

Are you crying?

No.

I'm Lee Seong Rok and I never cry.

Stop talking nonsense.

Now, we move northeast.

(Cha Bo Ra Hair Salon)

Remember.

A detective must never let others figure out what he's doing.

Don't you think we're being too obvious already?

Move.

Let's go to the arcade today.

What's that?

No way. The boxes are moving on their own.

They're monsters!

Darn you.

Let's fight them.

Fight the monsters!

Hey. Get lost quietly.

Kids, we're on duty.

Play somewhere else.

Darn him.

- Fight the monsters! - Okay.

Take this!

(ID Card Kim Moo Young)

It's him.

- Do you remember him? - Of course I do.

He made me trim his beard, not his hair.

Did you just trim his beard? Did you notice anything odd?

Yes. He asked about Doctor Noh.

Doctor Noh?

The vet who runs the animal hospital across the road.

Last year, I lost my Cho Rong.

Doctor Noh...

is no human.

He's an angel.

He takes in all the strays he comes across.

Didn't they say that Doctor Noh was arrested?

I heard that he discarded something up the mountains.

Was it illegal medicine?

Illegal medical waste?

Yes, that's it.

There was also talk that he was innocent.

Do you think Doctor Noh would do that?

He'll do anything to protect animals.

He would. He couldn't even hurt a fly.

He wasted away after his daughter went missing.

He looked dreadful.

His daughter disappeared? When was that?

Was it five years ago?

- It must've been... - Daughter.

so hard to raise a daughter on his own.

All because his wife fell for another man...

and left him all of a sudden.

Don't say what we're not sure about.

I'm not wrong!

Everyone in the neighbourhood knows.

Even so, I guess the living manage to move on.

Thanks for talking to us.

Thank you.

You won't perm your hair?

My hair's not yet due for a perm.

Hey. Would you like to get a perm?

I bet my perm will look good on you.

Yes. Why not change your style?

To be stylish.

I'm not interested. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Wait for me.

I should chuck a bucket of salt.

You should.

He's handsome but prickly.

Why did you send him off without coaxing him?

Give him a perm.

He'd be so handsome then.

Welcome.

May I ask you something?

Can you tell me what you told the people who just left?

Why do you ask?

This is who I am.

It's to prevent any possible mishaps,

so please cooperate as a Gangrim citizen.

- You're a detective? - Yes.

My gosh.

You expect information for free?

You live off of information.

You're overdue for a perm.

A perm?

It's a yes.

Where do I sit?

- Over here. - Okay.

No one's in.

Is he still in prison?

This disgusting smell.

I smelled this somewhere.

(Doctor Noh Poong Shik)

Oh? Look at that, Mr. Kim.

He must be the vet.

It's him.

It's him. The man who killed Kim Moo Young.

- Really? - I'm positive.

He can't kill a fly, but he kills a man?

(Where humans and animals are happy)

Why did he come here?

I should send a photo first.

My hair's dreadful.

Who perms it like this these days?

It looks fine.

Everything looks good on you when you're in your 20s.

How cute.

That was very cute.

That's what you think.

Kim Moo Young went to my clinic?

Yes. Look at this.

Did he...

- see it? - See?

See what, sir?

Me...

killing a man.

What... What do you mean, kill?

Who do you mean?

It was a joke.

You said it so seriously.

I was shocked...

I should pay for your efforts.

Thank you, sir.

Can you arrange a meeting with Kim Moo Young?

Yes, sir. I'll talk to him. It won't take long.

As you know, I just got released, so many people will be watching me.

I can't take charge.

I'd like you to bring him to me quietly.

See you.

How much is this?

We could build a chain with this.

Don't you think?

Yes.

On a mountain in Choweol-dong, Gangrim,

almost 100 tons of medical waste was illegally buried...

Not long after Noh Poong Shik killed Kim Moo Young,

he was arrested for the illegal discarding of medical waste.

What Mr. Kim Moo Young was investigating...

was connected to the medical waste?

I don't know. It's possible.

He committed the crime on orders,

and the vet...

Wait, Noh Poong Shik?

The police are...

Do you know him?

One of my regulars...

works for the humane society.

She says that Noh Poong Shik does all sorts of...

dreadful things under the name of animal protection.

What kind of things?

I'm not sure.

Wouldn't it be related to animal cruelty?

Did you enjoy the tripe?

Yes. I did.

Do you know anything else about Noh Poong Shik?

I don't.

Which part of tripe...

do you like the most?

Small intestines?

Large intestines?

Entrails?

If it's human,

I don't care what part it is.

I should...

get going.

Just like that?

You can go home. Goodbye.

Good job, Mr. Kim.

Come by again.

Hey, did you see that?

He was so shy that he couldn't face me.

He's so cute that I could bite him.

Do you really want to get bitten?

Totally.

I want to get bitten. I'm almost going crazy.

You are crazy.

(Daehan Tripe)

I might do something if I stay in there.

Seon Ji said you went to the US.

Did you come back or did you never leave?

Things happened and I couldn't go.

Bye.

Kang Min Ho.

Do you know...

Kang Min Ho?

Recently, I saw a man who looks exactly like you.

His name was Kang Min Ho.

Have you heard of that name?

Not sure.

What do you think?

Doesn't he look just like you?

You're right.

People would think...

he's your twin or doppelgänger.

Do you have a hidden brother...

or a birth secret?

I have nothing like that.

He's missing at the moment,

but I'll have to look into it.

If I don't give up,

I'll find even a small evidence.

That's also my job.

Right.

You know...

I always have my eyes on you,

right?

I didn't know you were so interested in me.

Then.

- So? - I thought about doing something...

Oh, Do Hyun.

Detective Cha.

Long time no see.

I know.

I just met Detective Kim Moo Young.

Did you get a new request?

Lately, she's...

Hey.

You got really pretty.

She's getting prettier every day, don't you think?

- Me? Really? - Yes.

We're temporarily closed.

I met him for a second.

We're not investigating a case. Never.

You haven't forgotten what happened last time, have you?

Don't ever take any dangerous cases, got it?

Of course.

Let's have tripe together. It's been a while.

Tripe?

Deal. I'll get it.

Yes. It's going to be good.

Those darn investors...

How could they think my scenario is boring?

That's nonsense.

Before the police catch me,

I have to pay back to Kim Moo Young.

What?

Mr. Kim.

I can't believe we meet here.

Are you coming from somewhere?

I went to meet some investors.

I see. Then.

Do you want to listen to it?

This human is tenacious.

I'm confident about this scenario.

Just this once.

Thank you.

It takes place in the Joseon Dynasty.

Appalling special historical horror story.

It's a story...

of a good daughter who takes care of her ill father.

Is it a historical story again?

It's the 2020 version of "Korean Ghost Stories".

She picks herbs in the mountains every day for her father...

and decocts it with love.

- Father. - And...

there was someone watching her.

(Korean Ghost Stories 2020)

Father.

Father.

I decocted medicine.

There was a crucial problem with her medicine.

It was way too bitter.

It's bitter.

Bitter?

Then she gave him a mint candy.

There was a mint candy in the Joseon Dynasty?

It's a fusion historical story.

One day, a monk approaches...

the poor girl.

Even if there is a way, you can't go that way.

Even if you know the way, what's the point?

Still, if there is a way,

please show me the way.

Cut the leg of a body that's been dead for less than three days,

and decoct it.

It might cure your father's illness.

A leg of a dead body?

Father.

Father. Father.

She makes a big decision for her father.

On a dark night,

the good daughter sets out to the mountain...

with a knife in silence.

She heard a guy who died a few days ago due to plague...

was abandoned here somewhere.

Then she reaches...

a shrine.

It's a corpse.

She closes her eyes tightly...

and starts cutting the leg of a dead body.

She cuts and cuts.

My leg.

Where did my leg go?

My leg. Where did my leg go?

My leg.

My leg.

My leg. My leg.

My leg. My leg.

My leg.

Give me back my leg. My leg.

He's walking with one leg. Isn't that too fast?

Before he died,

he was a sprinter.

- My leg. - If he was a sprinter,

his leg is important.

My leg. My leg.

Give me back my leg. My leg.

But the Korean daughter is as tough.

Give me back my leg.

The girl beats him with his leg like it's her own.

It must feel terrible to be beaten with his own leg.

Give me back my leg.

My leg. My leg.

It's all because of her love to save her father.

Bring it on. Bring it on.

The corpse gives up on his leg in the end due to her tenacity.

My leg.

My leg.

That little...

Father.

- In the end, - Father.

she decocts the corpse's leg with love.

However, after her father drinks it...

Father.

He becomes a zombie in the Joseon Dynasty.

Give it to me.

Give me your leg.

Give me your leg. Give me your leg.

This movie deals with destruction, abandonment of a dead body,

and attention to the tomb excavation and dead bodies.

In short, this movie tells...

that the sanctity of zombie matters too.

What do you think?

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in horror movies.

I'll get going first.

Mr. Kim. There are other genres.

If he didn't like horror movies, he should've told me earlier.

I spent so much time on explaining.

(Kim Moo Young Agency, World King Agency)

Are you sure about it?

It's the only measure.

This will do the job at once.

What if it really kills him?

Don't worry. It's not that deadly.

I've tested it before.

You become unconscious only for a while.

Is this really necessary?

If we don't take Kim Moo Young without a trace,

we might end up dying without a trace.

You mean by Poong Shik?

He divides humans into two groups.

One is an animal,

and the other is an animal in human's disguise.

To him, all humans are animals.

(Watch out for high voltage.)

Let's wait for tomorrow.

(Watch out for high voltage.)

He's...

He's here.

He's here.

He just got here.

(Temporarily closed)

(World King Agency)

Seon Young, it hurts.

What did you do with the frying pans?

Did you sell them for Taffy?

Did you sell them to the junk store?

Seon Young. Let this go first.

Let go of what...

What's going on? What's wrong?

What? Where is he?

(Watch out for high voltage.)

A knife?

Gosh. What's going on?

Where did he go?

What's going on?

(Detective Kim Moo Young)

What's going on? What's going on?

Honey. My ear.

What are you doing here?

I was on the way to the restroom.

You scared me.

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

What on earth is wrong with them?

Mr. Lee...

(Kim Moo Young Agency, World King Agency)

Good morning.

What are World King Agency guys doing here?

What's wrong with their hair?

Fire!

Gosh. What?

Now, tell me.

What's going on?

Well...

Detective Kim. Do you have something to talk about?

I have nothing to talk about.

You set this up, didn't you?

What's that?

I've never seen it before.

Wang Wei. You know what that is?

No. Is that a coffee machine?

Then why did you come here last night?

Well...

We had good news last night. We had some drinks.

We got drunk.

We thought this was our office.

What's wrong with you? You're still young.

We had four bottles of Erguotou.

Did we have four bottles?

You think that makes sense?

It's a totally different route.

Detective Kim. Have you ever had Erguotou?

Four bottles?

You think I'm a liar?

I'm Lee Seong Rok.

I'm saying this because you're Lee Seong Rok.

Is that how it goes?

Anyway, whoever put this here must be insane.

Were they trying to kill you? What a lunatic.

You should catch and kill them.

- Stay here. I'll get going. - You're right.

- Wait. - What?

Why are you taking it?

I was going to throw it out on the way.

You have to recycle it. That's a hassle.

I don't mind it. I'll throw it out.

Are you sure? You're diligent.

Bye.

By the way, your office...

is spacious.

It's double the size of my office.

How do you manage it so clean?

Bye. Have a good day.

Oh, gosh.

Open it.

What on earth is wrong with them?

Bye.

You think he noticed?

I don't think so.

It still tingles.

We could've been dead.

He's not as easy as I thought.

I need to go tougher.

That stings.

You punk. The static shock...

Oh, it stings.

Gosh. Are you Thunder Man or what?

Seriously.

Don't come near me, you punk.

(Watch out for high voltage.)

What's the matter? Do you smell something?

It's a disgusting smell.

It smells like something burnt.

I smelt it in the vet.

In the vet?

Are you saying Noh Poong Shik was here?

Does Lee Seong Rok have something to do with Noh Poong Shik?

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

Was he trying to warn me?

I must find the case Kim Moo Young was looking into,

ignoring Noh Poong Shik's warning.

If it was a request from someone,

there must be a trace left on his computer or phone.

What if it wasn't documented on his computer or phone?

What?

If he used this pen often,

he might have left it in his note.

No. I cleaned the office so many times.

But I found no trace of it.

Think carefully again. You might've missed something.

The employee from...

the animal protection group that Bo Ra mentioned contacted me.

I'll be right back. You should keep searching here.

Okay.

I'm Gong Seon Ji.

You can tell me anything.

If you don't mind, I'm going to record it.

Okay.

I heard you reported Noh Poong Shik to the police.

He says he saves wild and stray animals...

and acts like he's some kind of protector.

That's not true at all.

Do you know what he did while he was on the run...

for illegally discarding medical waste?

What did he do?

He hunted.

That's his hobby.

A vet's hobby is hunting?

He was arrested because someone reported him for poaching.

Noh Poong Shik...

is no human. He's a monster.

We don't know what he did with the animals he'd rescued.

He euthanized and buried half of them.

We don't know what he did with the other half.

I'm beginning to feel hungry.

A human.

What is it?

(Closed Temporarily)

Who are you?

Is our side beating him or getting beaten up?

Let me see.

Our side is one-sidedly getting beaten up.

- Really? - Yes.

Should I...

go into action?

Mr. Lee. Don't overdo it.

You might really get crushed.

Kim Moo Young is no pushover.

Neither am I.

Should I call an ambulance now?

He is a pushover.

I'm Lee Seong Rok, Gangrim's number one.

It's time for me to take things head-on.

You can't hide your identity with a paper mask.

You must hide your body.

Mr. Lee.

Why are you wearing a mask?

Can you tell me why you're doing this to me?

What's this?

Nice.

Who sent you?

A detective must know...

one cannot divulge their clients.

Why are you doing this to me?

Kill me.

And find out.

What are you on about?

This is insane.

Was he so fleshy?

It's the greatest feast on earth.

Why did he come here so scantily dressed?

He should wear something.

What are those two idiots...

What are they doing?

The smell of his head coming through the perm chemicals.

It's a dangerous lure.

What are you? Are you a pervert?

What?

I can't stand it. I might...

What are you?

What...

What's wrong with his eyes?

Stay there!

Don't come closer.

Are you a monster or what?

Don't come closer. No!

Oh? What...

What...

Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee!

Help!

Mr. Kim?

Hey!

Mr. Lee.

What happened? Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

My gosh. Mr. Lee.

You're okay? Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee. I'm here.

I'm here to get you.

Don't kill me! Help!

Help me! Don't kill me!

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Kim Moo Young.

That jerk isn't human. He's a monster.

He threw away the stake.

He's not human. He's not human.

Get up.

I'm here to get you.

- He's not human... - Get up.

Mr. Kim!

Darn it.

What about Kim Moo Young?

I'm sorry.

Let's at least hear it.

What is the problem?

He is not a human.

He is not a human being.

He is a ghost.

This...

This was stabbed into his chest, but he was still walking towards me.

The electricity didn't work with him either.

And the way he looked at me...

It was definitely not a look of a human.

He looked like a beast, a complete beast.

But I think that is too harsh, boss.

- It's all real. - But...

He is not...

a human?

Gosh.

One day, the boss breaks it.

Another day, some strangers break it.

This agency is never peaceful, not even one day.

Are you awake?

Did I? To a human again?

Don't worry about it. Nothing happened, thankfully.

What? Again with that?

I told you...

to eat chicken if you didn't want to get hit.

I think my instinct of wanting to eat humans was bigger than chicken.

Especially with Lee Seong Rok.

Mr. Lee?

I really couldn't hold it.

I've seen countless humans so far.

But I've never worked up my appetite like this.

That chubby flesh...

His succulent skin...

And those veins I can see through...

By the way, why is Mr. Lee acting like that with me?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Would he even answer if I asked him?

He would probably go on about protecting his client.

Anyway, until I can control my appetite,

I should try to avoid Mr. Lee.

Oh, what happened to that meeting you were talking about yesterday?

Noh Poong Shik...

He seemed to administer euthanasia to the animals he'd rescued.

Why?

According to him,

he was trying to alleviate the pain of those animals.

That crazy bastard...

But the problem is,

the number of animals...

that went through euthanasia and disposed doesn't add up.

Other animals haven't even been found yet.

Wait...

Are you saying he skimmed those dead animals?

I'd need to look more into this.

What is this?

What is all this?

What is all this really?

Kim Moo Young was surely digging up Noh Poong Shik's back.

If this was a simple investigation about the medical waste,

it would've been better to go to the media.

I think it involved some kind of experiment.

(Vet Noh Poong Shik)

(Town both humans and animals are happy)

(Town both humans and animals are happy)

Look at this one.

I think he did an experiment with animals.

But everything is in English.

Kim Moo Young was murdered while investigating this experiment.

This is where I woke up.

What?

Boss, take a look at this.

What is this?

It's a zombie.

It worked.

I finally found it.

I found the real zombie.

Kim Moo Young recognized me...

right before his death.

He was sure about me being involved in the experiment.

He gave me the key to his office,

where the files about the experiment were.

If this punk made me like this,

maybe he knows how to go back to being a human.

(Detective Kim Moo Young)

If I disappear or something happens to me,

do not interfere, do you understand?

Noh Poong Shik?

Do you want to know about the Shadow Case?

We couldn't find any evidence or any bodies.

An unidentified body was found at the Choweol Mountain.

Then, Kim Moo Young knew everything

about the illegal experiment done by Noh Poong Shik.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to live as a zombie?

What's important is that a zombie like you was born.

The resurrected misery, Zombie Detective.
