CONTINUOUS SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED AS WELL

[NETFLIX Ver] OCN Possessed Episode - 5 - Ripped & Synced by BlackPython -

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

I just remembered the mop

when we first met.

The mop? Gosh.

Why are you bringing up that awful memory?

What's wrong with that? We got close because of that incident.

We became drinking buddies.

We even rode our bicycles together.

And I even got the ability to see ghosts.

The fate between people is unpredictable.

I don't know if it is good or bad that we met.

Aren't you hungry?

I guess even walking to my house counts as exercise. I'm getting hungry.

We already passed the convenience store.

Should we turn back?

You know what? Forget it.

Go. Bye.

Bye.

Hey.

Why are you walking all weird? Did you hurt yourself?

Well...

I've been riding the bicycle for a few days,

so I guess it ripped.

Ripped? What got ripped? Did your tire get ripped?

My butthole got ripped!

Gosh, you're embarrassing me.

Jesus.

Gosh, how could he be so clueless?

What did he say?

"We already passed the convenience store. Should we turn back?"

Do you think I would say yes to that? Seriously?

There.

Butthole?

Dear Lord, how could she just say stuff like that?

All right.

It's Sunday night.

It's about time the Monday blues kicked in.

Anxiety and tranquility coexist during this time.

Some of you may have already gone to bed early for tomorrow.

And some parents might be preparing

snacks for their children who are studying late through the night.

Or some people might be enjoying

their night out until their weekend comes to an end.

Or it could be a time when a new relationship is beginning.

Wherever you are or whatever you are doing now,

I hope that tonight will be a quiet night

because these days,

shocking incidents occur on a daily basis.

Some say that our world is coming to a hideous end.

And some say that the theory

that humans are fundamentally evil has been proven.

I am not sure if the world has changed

or the people have.

I still want to believe that

humans are fundamentally good.

And that evil cannot prevail over good.

Mom. Mom, I'm home.

-It's me, Pil-seong. -No...

Hey, don't.

Don't go.

Don't go in there. Don't.

No...

Hey.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hwang Dae-du.

You poor thing.

You came all the way here from the orphanage just to see your mother.

What's this mess?

You...

I told you we'd meet pretty soon.

I thought

you and the dead cop, Kim Nak-cheon, were similar.

But the similarity between us is uncanny.

We were both abandoned by the world.

And we were never loved by anyone, either.

Don't you think so?

What do you want?

I want to make the world suffer

just like the world made me suffer.

Watching them suffer in pain

is the biggest happiness and pleasure for me.

You...

This shitty world abandoned me,

but they pointed fingers at me and called me a murderer.

Isn't that ridiculous?

So I'm going to prove it.

Prove what?

That they're all just like me.

I'm going to destroy the world little by little.

Let's enjoy this game.

There's no reason to rush.

And you will be the ultimate proof

of my theory.

Just like the dead cop, Kim Nak-cheon.

Shit...

Hey, no. Don't go.

Don't go with that man. Please, don't.

Don't go with him. Don't!

No!

No!

Hwang Dae-du?

Was this guy really executed

on December 30, 1997?

What's gotten into you?

He died 20 years ago.

His skeleton has probably turned into dirt already.

Hey. Are you still working on Seon Yang-woo's case?

Goodness.

Hey, thank you for the pleasant surprise.

Thanks to you, my butthole is nice and soft.

Thank you for the present.

Hey, we got him!

The jerk who tried to sell drugs online just resurfaced!

Let's get moving. Let's go get this guy.

Yes, sir!

PERSONAL DETAILS HWANG DAE-DU

M&A CORPORATE STRATEGY

Sir, should I prepare some tea?

Sounds good.

Thanks to his rich parents,

this incompetent brat can do whatever he wants thanks to his fancy title.

He has more than enough money to spend without doing a single thing.

Why does he bother coming to this annoying place every single day?

I guess he had his reasons.

Jerk.

What was that?

You had fun fooling around with me, didn't you?

After fooling around as much as you wanted to,

did you get bored?

I could destroy you if I wanted to right now,

but I'm going to play this game realistically like you.

I'm going to quit my job here.

A couple million won won't cut it.

I'll ask for a reasonable price in a few days.

Get the money ready.

This is so fun.

It's perfect.

There must be one more guy accompanying me on my trip.

Something ominous is happening.

He's not a bad driver.

Nam-hyeon, that idiot! He just keeps getting in the way.

Move over, you idiot.

Let's go, full speed!

Pull over, you asshole!

Shit, that was close.

He's out of his mind!

Hey, you bastard, pull over!

What the hell? Is he insane?

What the fuck? Hey!

-It's a red light! -A red light?

Get out of the way!

That asshole!

-Are you all right? -I'm fine!

Where the fuck is Pil-seong?

You, drop the knife!

Watch out!

I don't want to hurt anyone, so just walk away.

I'm a little busy today, so I'll let you

catch me some other time.

You'll end up hurting yourself more. Just drop the knife.

The ER's nearby, so it's fine.

I won't cut you deep,

-so get it treated. -That jerk...

-Just shoot him! -I'll shoot!

Detective Choe!

Nam-hyeon, I'm sorry.

-Hey! Stop right there! -I...

-Shit... -Detective Choe, are you all right?

That bastard.

-What the hell? -I'm sorry.

What on earth are you doing?

Oh, right. Well, I'm here on some business. Excuse me.

Goodness. My chest burns.

Doctor, my chest is burning.

Can you please help me?

Doctor, why aren't you examining me?

I bet you shot me on purpose.

What?

Do you know what my motto is?

"Always get back at those who wronged me."

I'll get you back for this.

Revenge or no revenge,

just thinking about what Chief Yu will say annoys the hell out of me.

If you stepped over your comrade to chase after him,

you should have caught him.

Let's get one thing straight.

It's 100 percent your fault that we lost him.

Did you find anything?

Sir, look at this.

-Aren't these drugs? -I've never seen such stuff before.

Could it be cocaine?

No, I don't think so.

Look at these crystals.

They look like those from salt ponds.

Hey!

He must've been in a hurry. He even forgot his wallet.

Kim Tae-sik.

Thanks, Tae-sik.

-Put out an APB on him. -Yes, sir.

Sorry? A zombie drug?

This is the first time it has surfaced in Korea.

-It's deadly. -Why is it called a zombie drug?

Inhaling a fair amount will cause side effects

which are grotesque.

Like what?

The users bite living people like zombies.

Shit.

-Can I get some for myself? -Why?

There's someone I'd like to just bite and chew on.

I'm not in the mood for jokes.

If these drugs hit the streets,

as young people would say, the gates to Hell will open.

We can't even track how much Kim Tae-sik has even sold.

This is what is important, though.

Is Kim Tae-sik the seller of these drugs

or is he just the courier?

If there's a drug ring behind him,

then more drugs would've been smuggled in.

That'll really open the gates to Hell.

According to his rap sheet,

fraud and larceny are his specialties.

Rather than as a pawn of a drug ring, he's likely to be working alone.

Whether he's part of a ring or not, we need to catch him fast.

We're lucky if the drugs we found are all that he has.

We're in deep shit if there's more of this.

Don't even think about going home for a while.

Find out where he lives, predict his movements,

and set up a stakeout. Okay?

-Yes, sir. -Sure thing.

Chief, here is the witness statement

for the Jeil Department Store hit-and-run case.

Right.

Thanks, Officer Choe.

Jeez. What on earth are you doing?

Damn it.

You always said that my hunches are always wrong.

Let me share some information that'll change your thoughts.

What's that?

I've been on the force for over 20 years now.

Nothing gets by me.

Just cut to the chase.

All right, then.

You'll be shocked when you hear what I have to say.

It's about Jun-hyeong.

-Mr. Formality? -He's dating someone.

What?

Want to know with whom?

Officer Choe from the Traffic Division.

Choe Yeon-hui!

Are you shocked or what?

You may fool a ghost, but not me.

Hold on. What's with that reaction?

I'm not kidding, you know.

How come you didn't notice?

You're with him all day.

I've known that for about 40,000 years now.

Everyone at the station knew that.

Well, not everyone.

What?

What happened to your hunches?

They never used to be this bad.

Wait. What are you saying?

Wait. You knew all along?

As if. There's no way he knew.

He's only pretending to know because he's flustered.

Score!

Seo-jeong, since we have no customers, why don't we close up early today

and get some drinks?

I'm tired. I'd rather go home and rest.

You're unbelievable at times.

Young people shouldn't spend weekends at home.

If not drinks, then how about a movie?

Did you break up with the guy you've been seeing? Why are you asking me out?

There are two things we should keep changing periodically.

Engine oil and men.

A relationship is over when two people become comfortable.

I'm currently looking for a new engine oil.

Let's catch a movie and eat dinner.

Have you seen By My Side Again?

I hear it's really sad.

It's a must-see movie for couples.

But we're not a couple.

You wouldn't believe the reviews.

A guy who has dry eye syndrome cried for the first time in five years.

A couple who was about to get divorced tore up the papers.

I bought ramyeon and gimbap.

Gosh, that's warm.

He's aware that we know who he is.

Would he be stupid enough to come home?

Yes.

What?

You're just as stupid. Where's the kimchi?

Oh, right. I got you coffee instead.

You idiot! How can you not get kimchi?

Are you kidding me?

You really are a piece of work.

Damn it.

Does this look like 8 a.m. to you? Seriously?

A few extra hours won't kill you.

Say that after you've been here for 20 hours.

Mr. Formality, you did well. Go home and get some sleep.

Don't be late tomorrow just to get back at me.

I'll really kill you.

Shit.

It's Sunday. Do you have any plans?

If you don't, do you want to see a movie?

You're here.

What's with the bags under your eyes?

It's as if you were working in a coal mine.

What are you talking about?

Anyway, what are we seeing today?

A sad romance movie.

The kind that'll make you cry your eyes out.

Do you like movies like that?

I love stuff like that.

Guys don't normally like tear-jerking movies.

You see...

I'm more sensitive than you realize.

You might end up

running out of the theater embarrassed.

-Why? -Because I'll probably wail.

Promise me that you won't leave.

Gosh.

Seriously? Who leaves in the middle of watching a movie?

Are you done crying?

The movie wasn't that good.

I see.

I feel refreshed for some reason, though.

It's not easy to get that feeling after watching a movie.

You must be glad.

I sure am.

So what now? Dinner?

It seems pretty expensive.

I won't ask you to pay, so don't worry.

As if I wouldn't be able to afford noodles.

Let me show you to your seat.

Sure thing.

What are you doing?

Does it make you uncomfortable?

Even movies have teaser trailers.

You should give me a signal before making a move.

You're jumping to conclusions again.

-Someone will be joining us, that's all. -Who?

Someone who'll buy me expensive noodles and steak.

Don't tell me you're disappointed.

Disappointed, my ass. So who's joining us?

It's someone you know.

Who on earth do we both know?

No way.

Seung-kyung, over here!

Gosh, how embarrassing.

I'm taken aback.

I thought that it'd be just us two.

Care to explain?

Didn't you say that you were just acquaintances?

He's a detective.

He has a keen eye when it comes to people.

Especially if they're men.

It takes a decent man to spot the right kind of men.

You can't say that he's normal.

At least I'm not as abnormal as you.

Just where on earth do you buy those hideous outfits?

There he goes again.

You heard him. You heard how obnoxious he is.

We should get one thing straight, though.

He's right about your odd fashion sense.

Anyway, let's leave it at that.

So tell me about this guy.

We're compatible in every single way.

Destino. That means destiny.

I've never clicked with someone like how I click with him.

-How old is he? -He's younger than me.

Really? You lucky girl!

Is he handsome?

Incredibly.

-Occupation? -Philosophy.

Philosophy?

As in a professor?

He has an office.

-What? -So he's a fortune-teller.

How vulgar of you.

He's not a fortune-teller. He's a philosopher who reads destinies.

That's why I wanted you to meet him.

Those with spiritual energy are able to connect.

But you brought this guy along.

Is his office around this neighborhood?

Yes, it is. Why?

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Hi, Seung-kyung.

Why are my hunches never wrong?

Jeez.

What do you think you're doing?

How do you know Seung-kyung?

That's none of your business.

I can guess your relationship with her, though.

Are you going to use her and dump her later, too?

You don't date the same girl for more than a week.

Detective.

All right, I'll be honest with you.

Sure, I'm a player.

Actually, I used to be one.

That all changed when I met Seung-kyung, though.

She's the love of my life,

so forget about the past and move onto the future.

Promise me that you won't tell her about my past.

Signed and copied.

Jeez.

Cheers.

What a small world.

I can't believe you two know each other.

I don't know him per se, we just ran into each other--

I'm actually really fond of him.

He solves other people's problems.

How decent is he?

So how do we seem as a couple?

A match made in heaven.

What do you think?

Birds of a feather flock together

It doesn't sound offensive,

but why do I feel insulted?

Señor Bae, are you sure about him?

Of course, I am.

How do you know each other?

Oh, we're just acquaintances.

Actually, Seo-jeong is in the same profession as you.

Really? She's a philosopher?

No, I'm not. Let's get back to our meal.

Oh, don't be so modest.

She must be intimidated to be in the presence

of someone as clairvoyant as you.

They say that those with spiritual powers can sense each other.

We should put that to the test.

What are you doing?

Go ahead and look straight into my eyes.

Let's just have another glass of wine.

I know exactly how you feel.

It's like taking up

a few classes of boxing

only to face the world champion in the ring.

My goodness. Señor Bae, you and your analogies.

Just think of it as a chance to learn.

Go on.

All right. Look into my eyes.

Honey, I need a little bathroom break.

He must not be a complete fraud then.

He was able to feel your powers.

Damn it. I told you not to make me do things like that.

He was bragging so much. It got on my nerves.

Anyway, it was gratifying.

Want to go for a bike ride?

A bike ride? At this late hour?

I'm just frustrated.

Why? Did something happen?

No, I just keep getting

this bad feeling.

-What do you mean? -No, never mind. You should get going.

You said you have to go on a stakeout in the morning.

Are you really okay?

What if I'm not?

What?

When that male psychic asked you

about how we know each other,

you said we were just acquaintances.

Well... What, then?

Do we not know each other?

Forget it. Bye.

Wait.

Do you want to come in for some ramyeon?

Gosh, my heart pounded so hard that I almost passed out.

But you know what? I'm pretty sure she's interested in me as well.

No, I'm certain that she is.

By the way, she invited me in for ramyeon, so I had some ramyeon and left.

Why did she say that I can't take hints?

Oh, right. It must've been because I didn't wash the dishes.

But did I really have to do the dishes?

But still, I think I was pretty cool today.

I left right after finishing that bowl of ramyeon without doing anything else.

I bet she thought I'm trustworthy and dependable as I was leaving.

Aren't I right?

Hey, soldier. Are you sad?

I told you I just ate ramyeon.

After we decided to outsource the contract jobs,

we laid off 20 full-time employees on the color coating line,

but one of them committed suicide.

That's why the union is protesting.

But this could work to your advantage.

If you manage to sort this out,

the chairman will start to approve of you.

So, what do you want me to do?

Just act like you're listening to what the labor union has to say.

Later on, you can request a meeting with the two leaders of the union

and offer them a secret deal.

"Secret deal"?

You know what I mean.

I've already done the preparations.

Just pay them enough

and they'll call off the strike.

You're all so amusing.

LAYOFF IS LIKE MURDER STOP LAYING OFF EMPLOYEES

Apologize to the employee who took his own life!

-Apologize! -Apologize!

Guarantee our right to life!

-Guarantee it! -Guarantee it!

-Repeal it! -Repeal it!

-Rehire us! -Rehire us!

-Are you all right, sir? -How dare you come here!

You killed Mr. Lee Jae-pil, you murderers.

-You bastards drove him to death! -You murderers!

-How dare you set foot here? -Apologize to him!

You son of a bitch!

Hello, Mr. Oh.

What are you on?

Something new.

We just got it.

It's quite pricey,

but it's more effective than anything else that's currently on the market.

Jeez, you crackheads.

It got the name because it looks like bath salt.

But it's actually better known as something else.

"Zombie drug."

"Zombie"?

You can inhale it the same way you snort cocaine.

But if you overdo it,

you'll turn into a zombie. Hence the nickname, "zombie drug."

The burning sensation all over your body will make you

take your top off and go apeshit.

Then you'll attack someone.

You'll bite through the flesh and into the brain like this.

Wow.

Just be careful about that,

and you'll experience euphoria multiple times.

But must I meet you at a place like this at this hour to buy this from you?

You're such a thug.

You thugs are so predictable.

There's something else you need to keep in mind.

You're the youngest son of TF Group's chairman

and one of my top clients,

so I was going to just let things slide,

but I got worried that I might get fucked over if I'm not careful.

As you're well aware,

we're very strict about only supplying drugs to our members.

Only you should enjoy the drugs you got from me.

You cannot share them with anyone.

If one person gets caught, everyone will be exposed.

In other words, we will both be screwed.

Are you threatening me right now?

No, this isn't a threat.

It's just a polite warning.

He's the newest member of my gang who joined the family recently.

He stole a few drugs and pulled some tricks.

Luckily, we were able to intercept him before the cops arrested him,

so we prevented the worst-case scenario, but... Wow.

Both of us could've been screwed, you know?

I'll let things slide this time,

but if you do anything that gets on my nerves again,

then...

you may end up sitting there, okay?

I make no exceptions even for conglomerate heirs and rich people.

You prick, I like you.

Watch your tongue, will you?

Why don't you work for me?

It'll be worth your while.

What the fuck...

Where are you going?

To check out where I'll be sitting in the future.

Where do you think you're going?

Kim Tae-sik.

Put out an APB on him.

Things are getting interesting.

Kang Pil-seong, again?

Hey, you moron.

The cops already have all his information.

Are you naive or dumb?

I feel bad for you guys for having to call that idiot your boss.

That son of a bitch.

What? "idiot"?

Don't you understand what's going on?

Come on, you fucker.

Son of a bitch. Come on! You little piece of shit.

What... Who are you?

Me?

Senior Director Oh Su-hyeok.

Hey, hold on.

Have you ever killed someone?

You don't even have the guts to do it,

and yet you keep acting all tough like a big bully.

I told you that I like you.

If you let him live, all of you will die.

What are you going to do?

Please... Please don't kill me.

Don't kill me. Please don't.

Take a good look.

It's a privilege to get to see yourself

in your final moments.

We're now in the same boat.

Do as I say,

and you'll experience heaven without having to die.

Tell me if you have any complaints.

Raise your hand if you have a nail clipper.

SAFETY FIRST

Seo-jeong.

Oh, boy.

Things are about to get very interesting.

Seo-jeong.

Hi, Auntie. Were you sleeping?

No, everything's fine.

By any chance,

do you know

where Mom lives?

Gosh, why are there only scary shows on now?

-Look... -You should...

What is the matter with you? Are you out of your mind?

I swear I didn't eat anything.

We're closed for the day.

-Then I'll call the manager... -I said we're closed...

What...

What do you want?

SOL RESTAURANT

Do you know why you have no friends?

No one wants to be friends with you because you're such a loser.

I'm leaving.

What? "I'm leaving"?

Do you feel brave and think that everyone is on your side

now that our homeroom teacher has your back?

How dare you!

What are you girls doing?

Gosh, what the hell?

Yu Seung-hui, this is none of your business.

Just get to class.

-Stay out of it. -Stop this, okay?

I heard your dad is a cop. What's his rank?

You know who my dad is, right?

Shall I put in a good word for your dad

so that he can get a promotion?

Thanks.

This is your last warning.

Just let us go.

What? Will you tell your dad on me?

Right, you grew up without a mom.

You obviously had no one around to educate you properly.

I got you coffee, sir.

When did you find out?

I figured it out 40,000 years ago, you fool.

You may be able to fool ghosts, but not me.

I'm sorry, sir.

You're sorry? For what?

Hey, I'm not that old-fashioned.

Officer Choe, you're so friendly and beautiful.

I always thought whoever dates you would be a lucky guy.

Who knew you'd end up with this naive guy, Jun-hyeong?

As both of you are well aware,

most people find it hard to put up with many aspects of our job.

But those who marry people who are aware of the ins and outs of the job

tend to have a happy marriage.

Then the reason you got a divorce was...

Right. This job is difficult for family members to handle.

Have you considered getting remarried?

Hey, Officer Choe.

Do you happen to have an aunt who's single?

-He can date women up to age 60, right? -Yes, that's right.

You punks, you're getting cheeky with me again.

Hey, anything on Kim Tae-sik?

He's totally gone off the grid.

Right, I bet.

As you guys have heard, we got a report last night

regarding the first victim from the new drug.

A restaurant owner's body was all...

Forget it. Anyway, if we fail to stop it from spreading,

this country will be in chaos. Got that?

Yes, sir.

Chief, we need you back in the office.

VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT

What's going on?

I'm her dad.

I'm speechless.

Did you raise your kid to be a thug since you were too busy catching thugs?

Pardon me?

What happened?

Do you know what happened?

She broke a fellow student's wrist in the school premises.

-Sorry? -This lady is that student's mother.

-Is it true? -That's not what happened.

You have quite a nerve.

Who taught you to be so rude and saucy?

Did you not break my daughter's wrist?

Did he teach you to play innocent when you're in trouble?

Hey, watch your mouth!

Hey. Be quiet, okay?

Who taught you to be this rude? Be quiet.

Dad!

I'm really sorry. I should've done a better job of educating my daughter.

I sincerely apologize.

I won't let this slide.

I wasn't going to say this,

but do you know who my husband is?

Oh, Congressman Hwang Jun-seok who represents Sangdong District?

Seung-hui, you can wait outside.

Hey, what is the matter with you?

Officer Choe, get her out of here.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Who are you? That girl committed a crime.

She needs to be cuffed.

Gosh, your daughter is very famous at her school.

-She's as famous as her father. -What did you say?

Detective Kang, what's gotten into you?

Ma'am.

I'll tell you exactly what happened earlier today,

so listen up.

Three bullies, including your daughter,

dragged a girl to a storage shed at school and tried to assault her.

Seung-hui stopped them, and as she was about to leave with that girl,

your daughter hit Seung-hui first.

Seung-hui told your daughter multiple times to stop,

but your daughter kept hitting her.

Hence, she had no choice but to do what she did to defend herself.

Can you stand by what you just said?

I'm going to take this to court!

Sure. Unfortunately for your daughter,

we already have the security footage.

And if we contact her school,

we'll find out all the wrongdoings that she has done.

Everyone will learn the truth. Congressman Hwang will be thrilled.

What? You'll take this to court? You want to go by the book? Please do.

I can't stand people who say they'll take things to court when they know nothing!

So, your name is Seung-hui?

My name is Yeon-hui. We both have "Hui" in our names.

I heard about what happened.

You're so cool.

You did the right thing. I'm so glad you did that.

I heard you want to be a cop.

I heard you learned martial arts. What's your specialty?

Jiujitsu.

Seriously? I learned kickboxing.

-Really? -Yes.

Seung-hui, will it be okay if I think of you as my little sister?

DO NOT ENTER INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS

The time of death is estimated to be 72 hours ago.

The victim was stabbed in the lung. He died instantly.

It's Kim Tae-sik, right?

Gosh, you idiot.

If you hadn't run away that day, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

Anything else?

Nothing special,

but we found this next to the victim.

Next to the victim?

What's this? Isn't this a wing mirror?

This is...

Hwang Dae-du.

Hwang Dae-du is alive.

I'm going to destroy the world little by little.

Let's enjoy this game. There's no reason to rush.

-How may I help you? -I'm here to see Mother Shaman.

When the door between Hell and this world opens,

what is to come will be something beyond our control.

This is why fate is such a scary thing.

I bet it's happening to you too. I can feel your spirit as well.

Let her go.

You can take my life instead.
