Original subtitles

H-Hello? - Yo, what's up?

Hey. I'm home alone.

Mom and dad are at some alumni get-together.

They don't give a damn about their daughter.

Hey, if...

Kyung-ah just paged me. Left this voice mail to try to scare me.

Big deal. Forget about it. Hey let's go for a drive.

No, I can't. I have exams next week. - Stop being such a wet blanket. Come on.

My parents are going to be home soon. - Stop being a tease. Let's go to that one place...

What's that sound?

Chang! What's wrong?!

You look good enough to frame.

So, you can replicate me?

In this modern age of science and cloning,

I'm trying to discover myself... through my body.

Asexuality, cloning... So "multi-sexuality" is the key word, right?

The ancient Greeks had an affinity for bi-sexuality.

The best of both worlds, a combination of feminine beauty and masculine strength.

Multi-sexuality which breaks the boundaries

between genders was admired and worshipped two thousand years ago.

By eliminating the complications of human intercourse,

half of the problem has been solved.

Alright sweetie, mommy's gonna be home soon, but you shouldn't call when mommy's working.

My outfit's all ready, mommy.

Honey, you mustn't say anything to them.

Aunt and Uncle will be very sad.

Because of cousin Sang-mi?

Is Sang-mi really dead?

Boram!

Let her be. It's OK.

You want something to drink, honey?

Hello... Listen, kid, how many times do I have to tell you?

I looked for it and it's not here!

Excuse me? Do you know what today is?!

Here, let me.

Yes, I'm her aunt.

I'll find the resort membership card for you. Ok.

Could you hold off on the phone calls?

What are you doing in here?

I was just looking around.

Stop that. Uncle's looking for you.

It's not here. I looked for it many times...

She was in there... Dead...

Fist full of her own hair...

Sang-mi's in a better place now.

I don't know her well. I know she was a model student.

I'm not a close friend with her.

The resort card that Sang-mi borrowed, would you know where it is?

I was supposed to go with them, but only Sang-mi and Kyung-ah went.

Kyung-ah... Ok, I'll call her.

But... Kyung-ah's...

What about Kyung-ah? - You don't know?

Don't know what?

She's dead too.

What? When?

The day that Sang-mi died. It was all over the news.

MIDNIGHT DATE Couple Die

Hey!

Did you write this?

Wear your glasses. - I wear them when I need them.

You don't wear condoms all day, do you?

Are there any more reference materials?

Why are you so interested in this case? - She's a friend of my late niece.

She was in a state of full arousal.

Just when they were about to get into it... they kicked the bucket.

Anything suspicious? Strangulation...

No internal bleeding. The police say it was a heart attack.

No substance abuse?

What do you want to hear?

The case isn't over...

There is no case. It was a heart attack.

There was some weirdo at the autopsy.

Said something about unrecognizable shock or something equally ridiculous. Pretty hilarious.

Wait.

Hey, wait. Stop!

Umm, Sun-joo...

Do you know the guy who died with Kyung-ah?

I've never met him. She told me he was some guy she knew.

Do you think Dong-joon went to the resort with them?

It's OK. I won't get mad...

Yeah, he did. Kyung-ah told me after she came back.

So, it was the three of them.

Actually, there was one more.

A friend of Dong-joon joined them.

You shouldn't jump into something like this.

No, there's something strange. Why would you grab your own hair during a heart attack?

Park, he touches his ear when he gets a writer's block.

I touch my feet... You pull your hair.

Is this the doctor with the unconventional diagnosis?

He was the best in sawing heads open, but I heard he's off his rocker now.

He's not worth your time.

Pardon me.

Excuse me...

Are you Dr. Choi? I called you earlier...

You claimed the deaths were caused

by supernatural shock as opposed to something else.

Are you claiming homicide?

Do you have any medical evidence to support your claim?

No. It's just a gut feeling.

But shouldn't something like this have some evidence...

Miss journalist, do you have some evidence?

It could be a new virus from the recent meteor shower...

No one knew what AIDS was when it was first discovered.

Have you thought of this?

For instance, the theory that the same virus killed

all four simultaneously is more plausible than a supernatural force as a cause of death.

These critters already know...

if I'm getting them out to play with them, or to kill them.

How is that?

Let me guess, you won't sleep with a guy based on feelings alone.

You haven't gotten laid in over a year.

It's been exactly 18 months. Satisfied?

I'm here about the autopsy...

Listen, Dr. Choi, I'm not interested in playing games.

Two other people supposedly died from heart attacks on the same day!

Leave the dead alone and let the case remain closed.

Hey, where are you going? That door's for corpses.

You're playing a dangerous game.

It's like nothing you've ever seen.

Be careful!

We shouldn't have watched it -Kyung-ah 10:52 p.m.

What happened to you, Sang-mi?

Thanks... The resort guys won't talk,

claimed guest privacy infringement or something.

Let's have a drink soon! Ok...

Room 105.

You want me to go with you?

Hey, Kim! There's a gas explosion!

What?! Let's just drop by.

Alright, you go ahead. Take this.

You regret it if you see it!! - 4 horrified viewers

We shouldn't have watched it.

May I borrow one of these?

Yes, go ahead.

Do you remember the kids who stayed in suite 105 last week?

I'm usually only on night duty.

Watch until the end

or else death will swallow you

Playing in water will summon spirits. You will bear a child in the next year.

Listen to your granny.

Whoever watches this

will die exactly one week from now.

If you want to live...

Mommy, aren't you going to work?

December 1st, Tuesday

Let me see the tape first.

No, it's too dangerous.

Then why are you here?

Didn't you come for help?

Don't you believe what I'm saying?

Do you want me to shake in my boots?

I'm the kind of guy who would want to see his own dead body.

So am I involved now?

Maybe it's a practical joke. Like one of those chain letters.

Ever see a joke this serious?

Why did those four idiots die?

The video has the spell to break the curse, and if they knew about it...

why didn't they use it?

Maybe they saw the tape after the spell was recorded over.

Who erased the spell? You have to find out.

We can't ask the dead, now can we?

You know this show?

Find out when that greasy-looking dude was on as a guest.

That's the day the spell was erased.

It wasn't recent. The clothes they're wearing are out of fashion.

I have to find that out, too? - Of course. Has anyone else seen the tape?

Show it to people. Afterwards...

you'll have plenty of helpers on your hands.

Why aren't you in bed?

Could I get a copy? I want to take my time with this.

Cheers! Pretty exciting, huh?

A game of life and death.

Seven days left.

You're a day ahead.

December 2nd, Wednesday

Alright. You don't have to watch it.

But please help me.

The tape deck in the resort room was installed in September. Who left this in suite 105?

That's too much snooping!

OK, narrow it down to November. It was probably before the quadruple deaths.

If you can find the culprit too, That'd be great.

Sun-joo, have a seat. - I only have six days left.

Hey, come here.

I need you to find out something.

The guest that was on the show... yes.

Mysterious Death During Brain Surgery

December 3rd, Thursday

This looks like the tidal wave in the video.

Judging from the height, it's definitely a seismic wave.

There were four of these just in the East Sea.

If it was captured by video camera, it was likely recorded in 1983...

The camera is a 1971 model.

The TV on the tape...

Was the tape was recorded and left in room 105 by someone?

A family stayed in the room three days before the four victims...

Their kid probably left the tape in there after

he tried to record that show.

Then the four victims stayed there next and watched the tape on a whim.

They probably thought the whole thing was a joke....

and erased the spell at the end to scared the next people.

Why was this recorded on the blank tape that was in the VCR?

Is there anything else?

That's all I have.

What about you?

Stop it there.

Don't you feel something slippery

when you watch this part?

Look closely. That dark obstruction, what is it?

What about it? Is it important?

Aren't we impatient today?

If you want answers, you have to find the person who made this.

Right, I should go back to the resort where the tape originated from.

I mean... alone, obviously.

I'm sorry Doctor, I thought you were alone...

This is Ji-yeon. My one and only pupil.

This is Sun-joo, a devoted believer of modern science.

You had a call from the publisher. - What the fuck do they want now?

They couldn't get in touch with you. - Tell them to wait.

You should call them. It should hold them off for about a week.

Everything is in a week. Go buy some of these, and not ones with a week left 'til expiration.

Let's not waste any more time.

How about an ad in the paper to find the person?

You have a day less than I do. It's you who should get a move on.

I'd like to see that smile wiped off your face after I'm dead.

You're my partner. You can't die.

No! Hey! WHY?!

Cousin Sang-mi told me to watch.

What did you find out?

Tell me for heaven's sake!

I'm not offering a solution, only evidence.

I want to know what you've thought up.

Only 4 days remain, but there are so many barriers...

My daughter watched the goddamn video.

Another reason to calm down. Go splash some cold water on your face.

I divided the video images into two groups.

Abstract images in the head and what can be seen with the eyes.

There's that dark obstruction over the real images.

Remember this. - Go on.

The characters behind the obstruction are all real.

What do you feel?

Don't you feel like you're being accused of something?

These images...

we thought they were captured on camera.

But?

Look closely.

Those faint shadows.

Why do I feel like I'm actually there?

This game's getting better and better.

Someone recorded these images through telekinesis.

A man blinks twenty times a minute; a woman blinks fifteen.

It's highly probable the tape was produced by a woman.

What are you trying to say?

The blank tape in the resort suite.

A woman with supernatural powers transferred images from her head to the video.

I can feel it.

The damp darkness...

Exactly who are you looking for?

Someone with telekinetic ability, who's probably in hiding now.

Telekinesis. There are so many cases and many are fraudulent.

May we try?

December 4th, Friday

Are you sure it's here?

Highly probable.

Concentrate on the Southern Province. That old hag in the video was

speaking a southern dialect. I asked a friend about it.

"Playing in water will summon spirits. You'll bear a child next year."

"Listen to your granny."

What does that mean?

Don't ask me. That's your job.

Is this it?

Take down the name and address.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's here. It has to be.

Park... Eun... Suh...

This is her invitation.

Are you still busy these days?

I guess so... I'm sorry, mom.

That's alright, honey. We love to have Boram with us.

But is something wrong? - No, everything's fine.

December 5th, Saturday

Those four dimwits, why didn't they execute the spell?

Simple. They didn't believe in it.

Fear of dying is a basic instinct. It cannot be ignored easily.

At least one of them should have tried to prevent it.

Maybe the spell to break the curse is difficult to perform.

If so, what will you do?

It depends on what we find out.

We only have the name Park Eun-suh.

Man, what an ordeal!

Why?

Everyone overreacts to the mention of Eun-suh.

They consider the mother and daughter as witches.

Mother and daughter? - Didn't you hear?

Eun-suh's mother had incredible powers.

They were amazing at one time.

They'd predict rain... They'd predict high winds...

After Jung-sook killed herself, Eun-suh lost her powers.

You mean her powers of foresight disappeared?

She lived normally with her uncle

and disappeared after high school.

She jumped from here?

This place hasn't changed a bit.

Why did Jung-sook kill herself?

Do you need a room?

We're looking for Park Eun-suh.

What? You don't need a room? - Yes, we do need a room.

We're looking for Park Eun-suh.

You journalists should know better.

She's not here. You lousy good-for-nothings...

My father-in-law doesn't mean it that way...

Do you know where she is? Did something happen to her?

I don't know, I'm not from here.

Your room is ready. It's got a good view.

I need another room... - Pardon?

Another room... - Of course... coming right up.

Father... - Just do as I say.

At this time of the night? - The guests are leaving!

Sir, you know where she is, don't you? It's a matter of life and death.

This is a matter of life and death, too.

Ma'am... please help us.

I hope this helps.

This was the last thing we got from her.

I know my father-in-law misses her too.

Park Jung-sook had supernatural powers?

She met a man named Oh Chang-joon when she was 21.

Chang-joon. He was a professor of Psychiatry.

They started out as patient and doctor and the relationship became amorous.

Eun-suh was their child.

Park... what are you saying?

Dr. Oh was a married man. He already had a child.

Hey, there's a storm front moving in.

They caused quite a media scandal.

Jung-sook killed herself and Dr. Oh died a ruined man. Can you find out more?

I got it. I'll look into it when I can.

Today!

Hey, I'm swamped! I have two deadlines to meet.

How can you say that?

What about me? I've got two days to live!

Alright, which one first? Mother or daughter?

Eun-suh holds the key. There's more.

She predicted a seismic tidal wave at the age of 11.

Well, on that day, an enormous tidal wave swallowed the island as well as the mainland.

That's what I saw on the video. - That's on the video?

It wasn't shot by a person.

Are you kidding?

I can barely trace information from last year. That's two decades ago!!

You mean Park Eun-suh was a nightclub singer?

Mukoy dong?

I'm the one who phoned. Please take a look.

Park Eun-suh...

You mean Sunny Park. Singer, my ass. She was a stage hand for about a year.

You remember her? Was she... pretty?

Well... she looked like...

December 6th, Sunday

I found out something interesting.

Why is he dead? What did he see!?

Park Eun Suh's supernatural powers would not just disappear. They'd get stronger.

Mentally turn on the TV... kill that man... - Aw man! The ferry has been canceled!

The ferry is grounded!

What do we do now? You can't leave for a day or two.

We have to get out of here. Tomorrow will be too late.

This storm is our chance. The key to the puzzle is in Eun-suh's home.

We should never have come here. That damn video.

I should have kept my nose out of this. Now, Boram's been dragged into this mess.

Nice to know you care about me.

She would've been quite attractive.

Supernatural Power Revealed

What goes through a person's mind at the moment of their death?

This video is ...

We saw something not of this world.

No, Eun-suh's not dead. She's alive....

Kim? - It's over. I'm out of leads.

What do you mean? - Further investigation is impossible.

Park Eun-suh has completely disappeared.

Kim, please!

She's not dead. She's just disappeared...

What did the old lady say? About giving birth?

Who's the man in the video?!

Don't ask me. Use your head!

We've uncovered a lot.

But we're not even close to solving the fucking curse!

You're afraid, aren't you?

Only of one thing.

That I'll die before I solve this third-rate riddle!

afraid that only.

Still think it's a game?

Then what about two years ago? Was that patient just a pawn in a sick game?

I shouldn't have trusted a quack like you.

It wasn't a game.

She was Boram's age. Everyone said there was no hope.

There is no possibility of revival...

But I did it. The surgery turned out well.

I was high on my success.

But I heard someone whisper

"I'm taking her."

She suffered for two days.

I killed her.

Do you regret watching the video?

The game's not over.

We still have a day.

I have one more day.

I know who drove Eun-suh and her family to ruin...

They put her on a pedestal and then shook it...

But why me? Why am I being cursed?

You're a journalist like them.

Someone painted that picture on the wall. He's probably the last one to see her.

You know something. We don't have any time. We have to break the curse.

It's strange. I'm not scared at all.

If we die now, I'll just be going a day earlier.

What happens when you die?

No one knows. That's what scares people.

If the woman in the picture is Eun-suh...

I'd like to meet the artist.

He's the only one who was there.

You know who he is?

It's her half brother... Chang-joon's son.

The storm has passed.

I guess we made it.

I'll call you when we find her.

December 7th, Monday

This game just got fun.

Oh Kyung-pil. What have you done with her?

What's the scar on your shoulder from?

Boram? Mommy's gonna get you tomorrow. I'm busy. Be good for grandma.

What time did you watch the video?

Around 10:07. It was definitely before 10:10.

I was in a sanatorium for smallpox...

Eun-suh came to nurse me...

We loved each other in a special way.

It was so simple. Everything began here.

I need some rest. - We don't have time.

Calm down.

Eun-suh is here.

We've found it.

I saw male and female in her body...

And then I could not remember what I did...

She would have still been alive...

Are you alright?

Stop worrying and drop the bucket.

I'm out of time.

What's wrong? - Your turn.

I need to rest before I can...

Have you forgotten?

Your daughter is at stake here. Do you want her to die?

You really think this will work?

Just get down there.

Gather her remains and put her to rest. That's the spell to break the curse.

Eun suh, where are you? Please appear.

Rest in peacen Eun-suh.

Sun-joo!

Your time has passed. We won the game!

She survived in the well for a week.

She transferred her fear and suffering into us...

Why didn't she curse Oh Kyung-pil?

She may have wanted to die. Maybe with some help.

Because she lamented her condition.

Just as light and darkness existed as one before the Big Bang,

Man and Woman probably existed as one.

A perfect combination of strength and beauty.

But she was the target of ridicule in her life.

She just wanted a normal life. To have children...

Her only legacy is the video.

We only know parts of reality. But we can't know the beginning and the end.

That's life.

So it's over, huh?

Hey, I was having a nice dream.

I was actually flying.

Hey... do you like beer?

Thought you'd never ask.

You don't want my curse.

Sun-joo! What's going on?

You ever hear of cell phones?

This is Hong Sun-joo. Please leave a message.

When did it happen? - Around ten last night.

And the cause of death?

They said cardiac arrest.

Did he leave any information? About the videotape?

What tape?

Why was I spared?

You knew. Please tell me. Please. Boram is next.

What did I do that you didn't?

What did I do that you didn't?

What did I do...

Is this the spell ?

You have given birth to something, haven't you?

If you want to live, copy this tape and pass it on

Mom, it's me. How's Boram? Yeah, I'm on my way.

Mom, do you have a VCR?

Stay there. I'll be right over.

I have something you must watch.

It's for Boram.
