[Gate shut]

[Music]

6617, Kang Mi-hee!

The world has changed, no?

Is the water leak fixed?

I fixed the electricity and hydro,

and kind of fixed the living room and ceiling.

But these neighbours.. [Coughs]

[Door open]

[Door shut]

The neighbors often complain

why the house isn't being demolished.

The house is bad luck, and drops land value.

6617, Kang!

Remember that your sentence isn't over.

If you wish to leave,

you must report to the station.

Officers will be here until the end of your sentence.

Live quietly.

No one will welcome you around here,

you'd be lucky not to get stoned.

- Watch her. Call if anything happens. - Yes, sir.

Do it right.

Damn, why doesn't she talk?

Larynx cancer.

[Gasps]

[Drawer clinks]

[Door clinks]

Come out!

Come out here! Who's it?

[Screams]

[Kids giggles]

Stop!

Wait for me.

Why are you not listening?

Ji-won, wait for me!

We'll be late, mom!

So you should've come home right after school.

You goofed around.

- Mom! - What?

You said so yourself,

"Being a troublemaker is okay, just be healthy."

That's why I'm playing hard.

Yeah! Me too!

You brats! Are you making fun of me?

Dad.

- Have some. - Nah.

Watch over your brother.

Okay.

Go on.

Don't always hang out with your friends,

Let's go.

do your homework too.

Your after school class teacher called...

Hey!

This..

Boys!

Finish your meal!

We'll come back and eat.

[Door shut]

[Glass breaks] [Sobs]

[Foot steps]

[Door bell]

[Door open]

Good afternoon.

Mrs. Kang Mi-hee?

I'm from religious welfare...

Wait!

I heard that you were in our parish.

Go away.

Actually,

I just need this form filled in.

Could I come in for a bit?

[Giggles]

Wow, look at this house.

I volunteer at the prison every Christmas and Easter.

- What'd you know about prisoners? - Quite a bit.

Even those locked away are children of God.

There is no God.

I'm not a Catholic anymore,

why are you here?

I'm here...

out of curiosity.

What exactly

happened that night?

Leave.

I'm going to be first!

- You idiot! - I'm faster!

I'm first!

[Giggles]

Yes!

Hurry, hurry!

Second place.

[Gasps]

I lost because of you.

Hey!

Oh!

Jesus, I'm tired.

What the heck?

You brats, you've been playing way too long!

- I think you would... - Run!

- You brats! - Hurry! Let's go!

You brats!

I know your parents well!

Ah! My back!

Yeon-hee, give me your hand.

Oho!

See you tomorrow!

- Bye! - Bye! Bye!

- Bye! - Bye!

What is it?

Hyo-je.

Do you like Yeon-hee?

Are you nuts?

Then why do you give her a ride?

It's not because I like her.

Then what?

It's because...

she doesn't have a bike!

You do like her.

Fine, I do! So?

See? I knew it!

Make sure to say you did all your homework.

I know.

Don't say stupid things.

I got it!

We're home!

Boys!

Go apologize and beg for forgiveness!

- But mom... - Your dad's a cop!

- How could you?

Ask them for forgiveness. - I'm sorry mummy. We won't repeat it.

I'm so sorry, this won't happen again...

It's okay.

Actually..

Well...

Never mind.

Nothing at all.

Never mind.

Good bye.

[Clinks] [Sobs]

Skipping classes?

Move your hand.

Your fingers will break.

That's enough, go sit.

Ji-won, your turn!

Mom, I'm sorry!

Come here!

I'll take his punishment too.

It wasn't his fault at all.

Fine, it's all big brother's fault!

What did the priest say at the last week's mass?

God is always watching.

And?

Answer is inside an earnest prayer.

Right.

I pray every night to God for you two, but it's not coming true.

I guess I wasn't earnest enough.

I'm sorry.

You're all talk.

You'll really get it if you do it again.

Yes.

Mom?

What?

If I pray hard too...

If you pray hard...

I won't die early like dad?

That won't happen to you.

The doctor said so,

doctors in America are researching for a cure.

If you wait a little, you'll be cured.

No matter what, I'll make sure of it.

[Giggles]

[Door open]

[Gasps]

Dammit, I'll kill them all.

Even after a direct presidential election,

they're still protesting and shit!

Can't even come home early...

[Clinks]

[Gasps]

Very good.

Baby, it's been a while.

If you're going cheat, then do it openly.

What are you talking about?

Don't mind me.

I don't expect much from you anyway.

Huh?

Are you going on about this?

What a cutie, my baby.

Goddammit! Who am I working so much for?!

A man must feel comfy when he comes home!

Stupid women.

Hell with this.

[Door clinks]

What a messed up life.

It's hell for me.

[Door clinks]

[Clinks]

Ji-won?

Chul-joong? Don't fool around.

[Door banging]

Who is it?

[Screams]

Who are you?!

[Phone rings]

[Foot steps]

[Door bang]

Hyo-je?

[Screams]

Hyo-je!

Hyo-je!

Sweetie! Open the door!

Hyo-je! Hyo-je!

Were you screaming?

Ji-won...

Ji-won, are you ok?

Did you scream?

Yeah.

Why?

- Hyo-je... - Hyo-je?

He startled me. He was banging the door.

What?

[Snap]

Someone tried to break the door down.

Did you see the person's face?

No.

It was probably them.

Who do you mean, detective?

The protesters.

I fucked some up.

I said they shouldn't be released immediately.

But you said you weren't home.

Why'd they go after your wife and kids?

They went after my weak spot.

Why'd I put chain locks on every room!

All fingerprints are your wife's.

Something felt off.

It didn't feel like human.

Bullshit...

Speak some sense.

[Clears throat]

So, how long have you lived here?

Just after wedding, so about 10 years?

The chief introduced us to the real estate agent.

We bought it cheap.

It's in her name to thank her for giving birth to Ji-won.

Hyo-je.

Buddy?

What did you see last night?

Are you a mute? Tell him.

Hyo-je.

Tell him!

Hyo-je?

You're making me worried.

Tell me, did you see something?

What's this?

Get out of this house. Father will kill the child.

Who gave you this?

Sweetie, tell me.

Who wrote this?

[Music]

Excuse me, Father.

I've been...

Pardon me.

[Bell]

Mrs. Kang! Wait!

Listen.

I don't mean to offend you, but listen, okay?

I sensed a bad aura from your house.

My house?

It's on a terrible lot.

Spirits get tangled there.

Have you experienced anything bad recently?

Call this number, he's a feng shui expert.

I checked out the premise.

[Exhale]

So...

weird things keep appearing in the house?

It felt like...

Well... it's hard to explain.

And my son isn't the type to lie.

May I get a cup of coffee?

Certainly.

[Foot steps]

The house is blocking the energy flow to the North.

It's definitely an unusual lot.

Once in a millennium lot.

Did you move family grave recently?

No.

Or a water pipe construction or changing front door direction?

No.

Is that so...

- I got your coffee. - Not a word!

How...

What's over there?

It's the basement, we use it for storage.

[Music]

[Gasps]

What's this door?

Could you open that for me?

It's not locked.

[Door clinks]

Be quite.

- Stop that. - I told you to be quiet.

Don't do that.

It's mine.

Who are you!

[Sobs in fear]

What's wrong?

Wait, please! Tell me!

Wait!

What's wrong?

Didn't you hear that sound?

What sound?

Ma'am, I think you should get another expert.

Can't you tell me what's wrong?

There is a problem, but I don't know what it is.

The best solution is...

to just move.

Ma'am, this has nothing to do with feng shui.

It's something...

You're better off with a shaman!

I'll leave.

Leave the house.

[Door open]

Good afternoon.

Your registry went well.

Good, go away.

Could I get a cup of coffee?

I'm sorry about last time.

I've been looking into your case,

there are too many inconsistencies.

If you wish to confess,

I'm ready to listen as a priest.

You said you know a lot about prisoners.

Children of God?

I suffered enough in the hands of those children.

Do you know why I endured the pain?

To come back here

and to find my son.

That's the truth.

I've come to take my son.

You want to know what happened that day?

Mrs. Kang.

Whatever people say, I want to believe you.

Please tell me.

Who did it?

Them.

It was them.

[Coughs]

There were people in the house.

They...

took Hyo-je.

[Music]

So Kang Mi-hee moved here in 1984,

and these seniors were the former residents?

Yes, Father.

If it says on there, that's what it is.

Then who lived there before them?

Look at the form!

That's all that is written,

so I wouldn't know.

No need to lash out...

What is it? What's wrong?

He keeps asking about Uireung #34.

Uireung #34?

But...

It's an infamous haunted house.

Missing persons cases too.

Yes, the killer's son went missing 25 years ago.

I don't know about that,

but it was in the '60s,

an entire family just vanished.

What?

I was in primary school, so about mid-60s.

That family disappeared, not a trace!

Very peculiar.

That house is strange.

It has to be the house...

[Siren]

[Knocking]

Oh! Hi!

So why do you need such an old case file?

I'm conducting a group prayer for the victims.

You do that too?

I'm on duty today, so take your time.

[Giggles]

Detective.

Hope to see you at the next mass.

Right...

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

November 11, 1967,

Uireung #34,

an ordinary family of 3 vanished from home.

No signs of intruders, only the residents disappeared.

The missing people are a mother and her 2 daughters.

[Coughs]

[Clock bell]

[Deep breathes]

[Foot steps]

[Gasps]

[Door open]

Come out!

Come out!

Be quiet.

Don't do that.

I told you to be quiet.

The doll looks better like this.

- Stop that. - It's mine.

No, I like it this way.

If you keep up, I'll lock you up.

I'll tell mom then.

- You better not. - Don't laugh.

The doll will lose hair.

It looks better like this.

Don't do like this.

No, don't.

- It's mine. - Don't do that.

- No. - Why not?

Don't!

Who are you?

[Music]

[Deep breathes]

[Door knocking]

This is my house!

[Screams]

Who are you?

[Sobs]

Please... please...

Just give me back my son.

Give me Hyo-je...

Who are you all?

[Foot steps] [Gasps]

[Water splash]

[Foot steps]

What am I upto?

Hello?

Are you here to meet her?

[Humming]

She had an accident a while back.

She should've entered nirvana 7 years ago,

but thanks to her prayers, she's in limbo.

She may not see material world,

but she can look beyond it and communicate.

She says you need help.

How did you end up at the house?

[Game tone]

[Gasps]

[Foot steps]

[Clears nasal]

There!

[Humming]

Why are you spraying salt?

The spirits will reach here following the salt.

Until the end of the ritual, you can't leave the circle.

Take my hand.

Careful.

[Humming]

Those people! Who are they?

What? Who?

The medium has made the connection.

[Muffled shrieks]

Get out of here!

Those people are still here.

Give me the paper.

They won't be leaving! They won't be leaving!

Now, this is the crucial part.

Close your eyes.

Don't ever open them.

[Muffled shrieks]

What's that sound?

Just listen.

It's really cold.

Don't open your eyes.

Dad...

You killed my child!

I'm sorry, dad!

What was that?

Thought I wouldn't find out?

You guys are all the same... - What are these sounds.

I'm sorry, dad.

I'm sorry, dad.

You killed my child!

I'm sorry, dad!

I'm not able to understand.

Who are they all?

Dad! Don't kill me.

Please! Don't!

Shut up!

[Screams]

Stop! Just stop it!

Ma'am, calm down!

The ritual is not over!

Stopping now could cause a great harm!

Forget it!

Get out of here!

Just leave!

[Door shut]

I'm home.

Look at the time!

We were at Joon-ho's...

Ji-won? Where is he?

He left before me.

He's not here yet?

What?

Ji-won!

Where is he?

Ji-won!

Where is he?

Ji-won!

Ji-won!

[Siren]

Ji-won!

Ji-won!

- Ji-won! - Ji-won!

Come! Come!

- Give me your hand. - Be careful.

Be careful.

Slowly! Move forward.

Doctors team is here?

Where to keep it?

How did it happen?

Chul-joong!

Come on! Handle yourself Ji-won!

- Chul-joong... - It's dad

Please control, he is dead.

Come! Come!

- Chul-joong! - It's dad...

Come on! [Gasps]

Chul-joong! What are you doing?

If you'll do like this then what about the others.

[Indistinct chatter]

Move! - Yes sir.

Come with me.

[Slaps]

Chul-joong!

Call yourself his brother?

Stop!

Come on! Stop him! - Leave me.

Stop him!

[Crying]

Goddammit! Let go!

Ji-won...

Ji-won...

Baby, get up...

This is not possible.

[Crying]

Ji-won...

He died because of you! You killed him!

- You killed... - Stop it!

- You killed Ji-won! - Please! Stop!

Hey leave me! Leave me!

Stop it, honey!

Ji-won!

Ji-won!

It's dad! It's all my fault.

I should have been with him.

[Rains]

[Sobs]

It was my fault.

I should have been by his side.

Hyo-je.

The priest said,

good kids become angels when they die.

- Really? - Yeah.

I'm sure that Ji-won must have become angel.

1942, Japan's best shaman Abeno Maski,

he arrives in Korea to build General Watabe's residence.

Abeno insisted on building the house over here.

And the general's family was slaughtered on November 11.

Reporter Park Eul-sang

So in 1967 and 1992,

people went missing in similar ways?

In a very strange way.

Yes.

My report was in 1942,

it's the same case at the same house.

That house...

'case' would be more accurate.

Look here, this is not right!

- Everyone could die! - Stand back!

Due to harsh exploitation by the Japanese,

the farmers' rage reached fever pitch,

so they went to his residence to capture the general.

Watabe and his wife were murdered.

But the truth is, no one was killed that day.

Something inexplicable happened.

Their maid led the mob to the general's hiding spot.

Let go!

[Sobs]

Leave me! - Shut up!

But there was only a wall,

and the general and his wife were nowhere.

[Snap]

So, they went missing too?

I remember it very vividly.

The basement...

I'm on my deathbed,

why'd I lie to a priest, who hears my confession?

Lord,

is this all part of your grand plan?

[Crows Chirping]

Something weird is happening in this house.

Look at this.

1942, General Watabe and his wife evaporated.

And 1967,

a mother and her 2 kids disappeared too.

All missing persons cases.

And like you said,

1992,

another missing person case.

It repeats every 25 years.

And today is that day.

I...

saw these people.

They're still here.

[Bell]

- Father! - Leave with me!

Father! Time's up!

Father Choi!

If you stay here, you could be in danger.

Since you're ill, go to the hospital.

If today is that day, I have to stay here.

But you mustn't!

They'll be here.

[Foot steps]

It's not a visitation day.

I know you're doing God's work, but you can't do this.

He was just leaving.

Mrs. Kang!

If God is a priest's faith, then to a mother,

I'm also her child.

I'm still a mother.

25 years ago, and today too.

Take care, Father.

Come here.

This way.

Come on!

Mrs. Kang!

You'll get us in trouble.

Let's go.

Every 25 years...

Son's body still missing

[Raining]

[Crying]

Ji-won...

Ji-won...

Hyo-je, look at me.

You must endure this.

Cry, if you're sad,

and if it hurts, say so.

I miss Ji-won.

I didn't stay with him.

God will protect him.

He will be happy wherever he would be.

[Door clinks] [Light flicker]

[Door clinks]

[Door open]

Hyo-je!

Hyo-je!

[Sobs]

[Door clinks]

Who are you?!

But... it can't be...

It's..

[Thundering]

Jesus...

What a shithole.

What?!

Hyo-je? Hyo-je?

Hyo-je?

Hyo-je?

Hyo-je?

[Crying]

Don't be scared.

Who are you?

My son, Hyo-je...

I've looked for you so long...

Let me touch your face.

Touch my face too.

And smell me too.

Mom?

Mom!

Ji-won!

Hyo-je!

Hyo-je!

Open up!

Hyo-je! Hyo-je!

Give this to mom, don't look at it.

Only to her, okay?

Also...

don't ever mention that you met me.

What happened?

Did you scream?

I couldn't protect you.

Hyo-je, I'll protect you too.

Ji-won, let's go see mom.

Dad.

Ji-won's in his room...

Dad...

You were never supposed to be here.

I'm not your dad.

You killed my son.

You killed my son!

You killed Ji-won.

You killed Ji-won.

I didn't, dad.

[Foot steps]

Get out!

Who are you?!

Stay back! Please!

Don't come close to me.

Stay away! Leave!

Go away!

Get back!

Wait a moment.

Don't come near me!

Mom...

It's me, Hyo-je.

Look closely.

It's me, your son.

But it can't be...

I prayed so hard, for this day to come.

But how?

Touch my face,

just as you did before.

Mom, there's no time.

Why?! Why?

Why!

I won't leave you.

Dad, don't kill me...

Honey? What's going on?

What's wrong?

Dad!

Please calm down.

It's your fault too.

- Drop the knife, okay? - Shut up!

Thought I wouldn't know?

You were going to leave after killing my son.

What are you talking about?!

What's wrong with you?!

Honey!

Leave us.

Listen to me..

Honey!

[Screams]

[Glass breaks]

Mom?

[Sobs]

I've waited 75 years to meet you today.

Those who lived in this house are confined in time.

They're in limbo, unaware of each other.

On November of every 25 years, gap in time slowly cracks,

and on the 11th day, it opens completely,

mixing all timelines together.

That's the secret that is impossible to understand.

This house will bring you back to 1992.

What happened that day?

You saved me.

I did?

Yes, that's why I'm still alive.

You mustn't save me.

It was my fate to die that day.

Your life was ruined because of me.

I came here to tell you not to save me.

Don't you want your life back?

I...

I want to go back.

I want to live my own life.

It was hell.

I feel so wronged.

Mom,

don't save me this time.

Don't kill me...

Dad...

Please don't...

Why did Ji-won die?!

[Sobs]

Let's end this.

Hyo-je?

Mom!

Mom!

No, mom! Please!

Mom! Mom!

Hyo-je, this is my fate.

I love you, my son.

Thank you for coming back.

Hyo-je...

[Screams]

[Wood breaks]

Mom!

- Stop, stop it! - It's all over.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

For what?

To do all this.

Mi-hee?

Why...

Hyo-je?

Hyo-je?

Hyo-je?

Mom!

[Crying]

Listen.

I have to go now.

Ok?

Mom, don't go.

Mom...

Honey...

[Screams]

Hyo-je!

If I pray hard...

I won't die early like dad?

No matter what,

I'll make sure of it.

It's alright now.

Come here.

Mom!

Hyo-je! Sweetie!

Hyo-je!

Hyo-je! Hyo-je! Open! Open!

Hyo-je! Sweetie! Open the door!

Hyo-je! Hyo-je!

Hyo-je!

[Siren]

Hard to believe, isn't it?

Father?

To be honest,

you're right.

He's still shaken up.

Hyo-je.

Joon-ho?

Yup.

Hyo-je.

In a little bit,

I have to go away.

Where? Can I come with?

It's too far,

you can come much later. I'll be waiting for you.

You're the most important person in my life.

Then, now, and forever.

Father?

Father, who's the child?

He's the prisoner's son.

What?

The son who went missing 25 years ago.

But you went inside alone.

After a long journey, he arrived from the past.

[Laughing]

Father, don't joke around.

[Indistinct chatter]

Father, this is my last confession.

I'm a sinner, who killed my husband.

I'll be judged before God for my sin.

Hyo-je has a hereditary heart disease.

I know it's a lot, but take him somewhere

where he will be loved and treated.

[Giggles]

[Music]

Allow him to see a beautiful world,

please help him.

I'm begging you.

[Music]
