THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL EVENTS, PERSONS, LOCALES OR ORGANIZATIONS

IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

Hwa-pyung! You should come and help.

PREVIOUSLY...

That girl's glaring at me and it's scaring me.

A psychic from a family of shamans...

One day, a strange man came to our village.

And the evil spirit said...

Park Il-do?

Right. And all of a sudden, the man went into a frenzy,

blinded himself with a knife,

and jumped into the East Sea.

And for the next few days, he'd glare at the villagers,

still alive and floating.

Hwa-pyung!

Because of him, we lost our family!

He has been possessed by their leader.

We need to kill him!

He's not possessed.

If you want to tell me anything, come to the church or to my place.

Save...

I just had a renewed confirmation of my faith.

Over there...

I'm a policewoman.

It's all right.

Hey, where's my mom?

It's Mom!

You said you were in all sorts of places.

Yes. I'm looking for someone, you see.

He was moved to the tunnel after he was murdered, right?

It's dry in the tunnel, yet the body's wet.

I mean, why leave the car here but move the body into the tunnel?

I have these strange powers.

I was sleeping yesterday

when I saw the culprit dump the body inside those tunnels.

You're messing with me.

I like... see things.

All right, so step out of the crime scene! Now!

All right! All right...

EPISODE 2

What the...

Kim Young-su!

Kim Young-su!

I thought you couldn't walk.

Where's your daughter?

What did you do to her?

My...

daughter?

She kept screaming at her mother, who was sprawled out on the floor.

So I stabbed her.

You killed her?

And your wife, too?

Yes.

I killed her, that talkative wife of mine,

and my bastard boss as well.

That little girl...

Her flesh was so soft.

The knife just slid in so easily.

She kept crying, begging for mercy,

so I put my hand over her mouth to shut her up...

and choke...

choke...

Stop it, stop.

It's all over now.

Get up.

You confessed to your crime, so I'm taking you away.

Get up!

What is it?

I said to stand up!

My...

My legs...

My legs...

-He won't be able to walk. -What do you mean?

He can't walk now.

I'll carry him to the car.

Hey. Hey!

Hey! Open the door!

Hey, you bastard! Open the door!

Oh, my dear guardian... Hey, no! No!

I told you not to bring any spirits here!

Hey, no!

No! Get out, you damned bastard!

I found him. The guest came for him.

He's been possessed by Park Il-do.

We need to hold a gut ritual, now!

Hey, hey... I said no.

That Park Il-do or whatever he's called is one powerful spirit.

My guardian's powers are no match for him!

Oh, man, I'm in pain already.

-Oh, I'm dying! -Hey, what's with you?

Over my dead body! Over my dead body!

-Oh, jeez! -Hey, Hwa-pyung,

I hemorrhaged from my ass last time.

I almost passed the point of no return.

Then what?

Heavenly Father, Lord Buddha, Allah...

You need to be at least at that level!

But we need to hurry! This man almost tried to kill himself.

-Do a gut ritual, now! -Hey, hey!

God, this bastard's driving me crazy. He just doesn't understand me.

Hey! I knew this was coming, so I booked the heavyweights for you!

Must we visit a shaman's place as well?

We must go and perform our duty

if there is someone who's possessed.

Let's see what you heavyweights are worth then.

Hey, watch your language in front of the Fathers.

I'm sorry.

Whether a priest or a shaman, as long as we can drive out the guest.

We're in a rush, so hurry up.

What's that cut on his face? Did you do that to him?

No. It's from a detective who loses her temper with criminals.

He seems to be unconscious...

Did you witness the symptoms?

Yes, I saw it all. And I'm telling you, he's possessed.

The Father needs to confirm that this man is indeed possessed.

He killed his family, all right?

He normally can't walk or talk all that well,

but he ran away at full speed.

That just proves he's possessed!

Are you a shaman as well?

I'm a taxi driver. Happy?

Then please step outside. You'll be in the way.

Hey, I'm more experienced than you guys in this field. Got it?

Though I don't have much experience,

I know very well what needs to be done.

First, we need to confirm that he is indeed possessed,

and we should never rush through this.

At this rate, this man will die!

He's up! That spirit bastard!

Are you all right?

You...

You reek real bad.

Stay put, you bastard!

Bind him tight!

Will this really be okay? Without the Archbishop's approval, I mean?

It's all right, Matthew. It's an urgent case, so let's get started.

Let's start right now!

The Rite of Exorcism, under Canon 1172...

MAGNUS EXORCISMUS: A RITE PERFORMED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

TO HEAL THOSE SUFFERING FROM DEMONIC POSSESSION

...is performed by an ordained priest with special permission...

Just hurry up, please!

Brother Matthew, start with the Eucharist.

You two, please step out.

What are you talking about? I need to ask this man something.

No. You could end up being possessed.

I'd say you're the one who's at higher risk of that.

You sure it's not your first time doing this?

From your attitude, I'd say you're already possessed.

What did you say? Just because you're a priest...

Hey, hey! What's wrong with you?

Our priority is the exorcism, so let's step out for now.

Please start.

Let's go out.

I'll leave it to you, then.

Please do something about that temper of yours!

Let's begin.

Holy patriarch, Saint Matthew,

pray for us.

Saint Matthew, ye who cast out demons,

pray for us.

Holy patriarch, Saint Matthew...

Saint Matthew, ye who cast out demons...

No!

Saint Matthew, ye who uprooted idols...

Your stepsister who your stepfather brought home...

You sneaked peeks at her, every day!

And you'd get excited!

...ye who uprooted idols...

"I'll pay you a 1,000 won," you said.

But then,

you were found out by your stepfather.

He beat you...

and abused you.

And when you heard he was dying from cancer,

you visited him at the hospital...

secretly happy!

Look at you.

So that's where you were, huh?

I told you not to look!

So you made it out alive,

and were hiding out here!

It's you, isn't it?

Your name was...

-You! -I told you not to look!

Step outside.

Matthew.

Matthew!

Why are you out here? Finished already?

Father Han will perform alone.

What?

But why? They say two heads are better than...

Oh, jeez. My dear guardian!

What on earth...

Jeez, she's already here.

What? Who?

Who's here?

-Where is he? -Wait, wait!

Listen to me, please. Just listen! Right now, he's undergoing a rite.

What?

Who are all these guys?

So he's inside, is he?

-Hold up, hold up! -Wait!

You may not believe this, but that man is possessed,

-and right now, an exorcising rite... -Oh, please!

-No, no! You can't! -Wait!

Oh, what? She's a policewoman?

Father Han.

It's all done.

Hey. I'm coming back for you, with a warrant.

I don't care if you do, with or without a warrant.

But I'm telling you, that man was possessed.

In fact, you should be thanking me.

You sure are one crazy bastard.

You said you hadn't eaten yet.

Here. Go buy something.

No.

Besides, I'd get told off by Mom, anyway.

No.

Besides, I'd get told off by Mom, anyway.

Wait, wait, wait!

Watch out for his eyes! This man's eyes, all right?

What is it?

I think it failed.

What?

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

Let's just walk for a bit.

I think it's time I stop.

-Sorry? -I told you before, didn't I?

With exorcising, your soul is slowly consumed by them.

But this time, you succeeded.

It was only a lowly spirit.

But there's another truly frightening spirit above it.

I think that's what is controlling it.

And it's too much for us to handle.

Pardon?

That fellow...

That taxi driver...

He's touched something extremely dangerous.

Matthew.

Don't ever get involved in this.

Father?

Father...

Why, Father? Why are you here?

Father!

But I think he's truly disabled.

Or do you think he's that good at acting?

Hey, you!

I saw you run around like crazy.

We even wrestled a bit!

Water...

Water!

Are you really going to keep this act up?

Is it just me, or does something smell fishy?

And it's getting worse.

Water...

Water!

-Bring it to him. -Yes, ma'am.

-Hey, what are you doing? -Stop, stop!

Stop! Relax.

Relax!

You'll hurt yourself. Relax!

Just relax!

Stop.

It's so itchy. Ever since that day...

Itchy, ever since that day?

Ever since it...

Ever since it came.

-Ever since it came? -You understand him that well?

-Go write that down. -Yes, sir.

Write it down.

So, who is "it?"

It...

It came from the East Sea.

We are...

from the East Sea!

Park Il-do!

Stop, stop, stop!

What happened?

Hey! Call an ambulance!

Yoon Hwa-pyung!

How did you know? How did you know the criminal would stab himself?

I told you.

That man's possessed.

I see those people who've been visited by the guest and what they're up to.

This again?

You're insane...

You think I'm insane? What else can I do? I see them.

You want me to believe that?

The body in the tunnel and Mr. Kim's late wife,

you found seawater in them both, right?

How...

Even you police thought it was weird.

That's what happens when you're killed by the possessed.

That powerful spirit by the name of Park Il-do...

Those whose deaths involve him

are found with their bodies drenched in seawater.

And they all commit suicide by stabbing their own eyes.

Take a look.

It suddenly started again four years ago.

They're all unsolved cases!

And the number of victims has been rising.

Let me meet with the culprit.

What, are you going to perform an exorcism or something?

Yes. I'll have to cast it out.

Damn it! This is driving me crazy.

Detective Kang!

Hey. We'll continue this later.

His daughter's alive.

HOSPITAL

That December 30th, 2014 arson that claimed the entire family.

Yes, I remember. We were busy with all kinds of cases then,

but I remember that one clearly because it was just so weird.

-Was it really a suicide? -That's the conclusion we came to, yes.

No sign of intrusion or homicide.

And the bodies were badly damaged by the fire.

Any other peculiarities?

Peculiarities, huh?

Oh, that's right.

The second son had a self-inflicted wound in his right eye.

Just one eye?

He must've stabbed it with a pick or something.

There was a big wound in one eye.

Anyway, that entire case was just a mystery,

because that family had no reason to kill themselves.

All right. Thanks, anyway.

HOUSEWIFE IN HER 40s COMMITS SUICIDE BY STABBING HER OWN EYES

I'm sorry. All right.

Belly button? What's that?

I love you!

Happy? Yes, all right. I'm busy, so hang up. All right.

That must have been quite a lecture.

Work and family both are killing me.

So, what are your thoughts?

During my entire time as a detective,

I've dealt with murderers, rapists, gangsters, all kinds of bad guys. But...

But that guy's different.

He'll roll his one eye and stare at me,

and when our eyes meet, I get goose bumps all over!

-Detective Koh. -Yeah?

You trust me, right?

What is it now? What?

His daughter's alive, isn't she?

You bound her and locked her up. Where is she?

This guy sneaks a peek at whatever we do!

He responds to our actions,

and he feels it too, when we butcher those dogs and pigs!

What are you doing?

It excites you too, doesn't it?

Be honest.

All that blood...

You enjoy it too, right?

Tell me where his daughter is.

This bastard must still be after that man's daughter.

Later...

let's drain out that little lamb's blood slowly,

until she dies!

Why this family?

They're innocent!

Innocent?

It's what this man wanted.

He wanted to kill everyone!

He was just so angry and frustrated...

Even their client is ignoring us.

Then who's going to take responsibility?

What about his hospital fees?

He's now bedridden for life.

At this rate, our family of three will starve to death!

Please help us, sir...

This man...

He despaired.

He despaired, yes.

Yes, he despaired.

He wanted to kill his family

and die with them.

So that's why you killed his wife as well?

That... darkness in his heart...

That's why he chose him.

And we came.

How did this man meet Park Il-do?

Where is Park Il-do?

See? Now we have to reveal to this young punk

that he'll be dead before he finds him.

Because he's the hunter, and he's the predator!

We need to tell him that this is all his game!

Kiddo.

Just run like you did back then.

Just keep on...

running!

Park Il-do's inside Father Choi, isn't he?

Father Choi's brother.

Brother?

Yes, that brother of his.

The boy who's around your age.

You know, the boy who became an orphan

after his family died because of you.

What about him?

We should've killed his brother back then!

But that policewoman had to interfere.

I told you not to skip your after-school classes.

Come here. It's all right.

Run!

I should've beaten him to death!

The priest...

will find the brother!

You bastard!

He'll never say where his daughter is right now.

But you said you saw something. You really don't know?

It was an enclosed space.

But I don't know if it's a warehouse or a basement.

If she's tied up like that for long, she could end up dead for real.

We have to find her quickly. I'll bring someone for the exorcism rites.

It's all right.

I'll check everything connected with Kim Young-su.

Hey, but can I really trust...

Actually, no.

Hey, bro. So did you call the priests?

Yeah.

But what are we going to do?

ANTONIO HAN HYO-KWANG

It was an accident.

It wasn't an accident.

It was the guest. The exorcism failed.

I see.

So it failed.

I should've realized it sooner.

We rushed through it, too.

So, why are you here?

That man's still...

We're not doing it anymore. We can't.

There are no other priests available for this.

That man's daughter is still alive.

She's locked up somewhere. We need to find her, now!

Leave it to the police.

Like they'd believe me!

They'll think I'm insane.

A life is at stake here!

Both the girl and the man may die.

If a novice like you tries to take it on...

yes, they may end up dead.

Right.

I admit I rushed you through it like you said. But it was urgent!

And it still is. A life's at stake here. Shouldn't we do something?

If he's bound to the demons to that extent...

there's no saving him now.

Are you saying you won't do anything? That's the same as running away!

Are you really a priest?

Or did you chicken out because your boss is now dead?

Don't presume...

that you can save everyone in the world,

that you know anything about demons,

that you've ever suffered from them.

Suffered from demons?

What do you know about me? Speak for yourself, you bastard!

How can you call yourself an exorcist if you chicken out and run away now?

Damn it!

What's that expression on your face?

You look like you stepped in a pile of shit.

So, what happened?

That young priest...

He won't do it.

Can't you just do it instead?

Have you ever seen me refuse a request from you?

But this time, no.

This is an extremely powerful spirit we're talking about.

He'll torture me to death!

But you look like you can withstand anything.

God, you're such a chicken.

Are there no other exorcists, then?

Why didn't you just talk it out with that priest?

The young priest, I mean. I hear he's much more competent than he looks.

Father Han who just passed away, apparently, he wasn't in good health,

so it was his apprentice who did most of the work.

That bastard?

Yeah, he worked like crazy!

Oh, that's right.

Apparently, he's also searching for someone, like you.

Whatever, not interested. I'm going...

Where are you going?

You said you couldn't do it!

So I'll have to find a Buddhist monk or something.

I'm in a rush, all right?

Why yell at me?

Damn it...

But if I do it, I'll be dead for sure.

SANGYONG POLICE STATION

What's the rush?

I think his daughter is alive.

Based on what evidence?

We didn't find her blood on the weapon.

He abandoned his wife's body at the scene,

so if he killed his daughter too, we'd have found her body as well.

So I'm sure he has her locked up somewhere.

You said that under interrogation he confessed to killing her

and dumping her body at that same reservoir.

I don't think he was in his right mind when he said it.

I'll check the places with connections to the suspect.

-May I request backup... -No.

I already reported that I'm sending our men

and the medical team to search for the body at the reservoir.

I already reported to the higher-ups. Didn't you hear me?

At this rate, she definitely will end up dead.

That's just what you suspect!

Or do you have any other grounds for your suspicions? Do you?

-No, sir. -Exactly.

Just go keep an eye on the culprit. And don't let him injure himself again.

Hey, because of you, our entire team lost face!

Didn't you hear how the higher-ups are out to get us?

Why won't she listen?

I shouldn't have done it.

That bastard should've done it.

You...

should've done it.

My goodness.

They said it was a suicide.

I just can't believe this!

-You're here. -Dear Lord...

I don't know what this world is coming to.

How could you let it come to this?

Enough.

Father Han has no family,

so Brother Matthew, we appreciate all you're doing.

So, where will he be laid to rest after the funeral?

I thought he'd be buried at the parish cemetery, no?

No! It was a suicide!

I thought the police said it was a suicide!

My Lord!

A priest, committing suicide?

Was he completely out of his mind?

He let himself be consumed by his work.

I understand he was not entirely well, physically and mentally.

Exorcist priests! As if demons still existed nowadays.

I mean, why couldn't he have stopped at giving advice to the mentally ill?

-It's all meaningless, he... -No.

He helped a lot of people.

What?

He really helped people. It wasn't all meaningless.

-What did you say? -He fought a lonely battle.

Careful what you say. You don't know what you're talking about.

-Why, you! -Father...

Matthew! Where are your manners?

He was a real priest,

unlike someone

who just collects donations and gets invited to dinners.

Lord God!

You're exactly the same as him, aren't you?

Your behavior is the same as Father Han's!

Please just go, Father.

Oh, God...

As for you, I'll speak with you later.

HOSPITAL

Where is your daughter?

She's alive, isn't she?

Where is she?

What?

It's dangerous.

This man's daughter will end up dead very soon!

You bastard!

Now we're going to see where his daughter is.

Come out!

Are you all right?

Yuk-gwang! Wake up! Wake up!

Bro, wake up!

Bro!

Take him out of here.

I'll take over from here.

I understand, but it's dangerous on your own.

I told you. I'll take him on alone.

Let's get out.

Out, out, out.

What are you doing?

Well...

You said you trusted me.

So what?

You...

You won't get us in trouble, will you?

I'll take full responsibility.

I really don't know anymore.

And who is that?

It was in the waters.

It was...

really in the waters.

Those dark eyes...

Hwa-pyung!

You know what, I...

All right.

All right, Yuk-gwang.

Thanks for everything. Let me go.

Where?

Just listen to me. This is one mighty spirit!

That's why I kept telling you I wouldn't do it!

-But this is urgent. -Hey, where are you going?

Bro.

The rite's still underway, so don't let anyone in.

Detective Koh, don't let anyone in.

-Where are you going? -Where are you going?

What are you looking for?

When Park Il-do invoked the spirits to possess Kim Young-su,

I'm sure he used something.

What kind of thing?

We'll have to look for it now.

Search with your eyes only. Don't touch anything.

Hey!

HANDS OF SHARING NEWSLETTER

HANDS OF SHARING NEWSLETTER

In the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Saint Michael, archangel...

May you protect us from the strife of power and violence

and may you protect us

from the rulers of darkness and from battles with the demons of hell.

I killed him. Ran him over with the truck.

What did I tell you? I told you he'd be fooled.

Chain the dragon and the old serpent,

Satan and his demons, and plunge them into the abyss.

But what about this one?

Let's kill him like that boss.

Kill him like this man's wife!

Protect your flock from temptation.

Die!

Die!

May you be run over by a truck!

Just like that old priest!

Die!

May Satan and his demons be cast out and driven to hell...

by the power of almighty God.

Hey, what are they doing?

-Let's just have a little talk. -What's he doing in there?

Nothing, really.

Just a religious ritual. As if a priest would harm him!

So don't worry and just have a seat.

Mr. Kim Young-su!

Mr. Kim Young-su! Can you hear me?

Honey...

My daughter...

Su-jin...

Your daughter.

Where is she now?

My...

Su-jin.

I told you not to touch anything!

Hey, what are you doing?

You're disturbing the crime scene.

What should we do?

Should we just kill him?

Should we?

Anyone who stays near him will die!

He's one of us.

Hey!

Are you all right?

Why, you bastard?

What are you doing?

Hey, wait! Wait!

Wait...

I just did something weird, didn't I?

You bastard...

What, are you possessed, too?

I was just reacting to the man who's possessed.

It sometimes happens. That's why I see the murders.

Because this is the crime scene, its effect is stronger.

This is driving me crazy...

Just now, I saw Kim Young-su and his daughter.

I mean it! Please believe me.

Wait.

-Over there. -What is it this time?

There's something there!

I order you, in the name of Jesus Christ,

leave this man's body, now!

This man's daughter is already dead.

Same with her mother.

Help me...

Who are you talking to?

Is there a more powerful spirit that commands you?

Help me.

There's a higher spirit that's controlling you, isn't there? Tell me!

What's there?

Look in the stove vent! Now!

Damn it.

Say it.

Where is she? Say it!

I order you, in the name of Jesus Christ,

say the name of the spirit that's controlling you!

Stop it!

Say the name of the spirit that's controlling you!

I order you, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I'm telling you, it's nothing.

But didn't you hear that noise coming from in there?

It's just a religious ritual! Haven't you ever been to a church?

Why would you do a religious ritual in a place like this?

As if a priest would do anything to him!

He'll just give out sweets and some chocolates,

-and baptize him... -Move.

Father! Out.

Open the door!

Father! Open the door!

Say it! Say his name!

Park...

What?

Park Il...

do!

Park Il-do?

I order you, in the name of the Lord God...

leave this man's body, now!

Help me.

I order you, in the name of the Lord God...

leave this man's body, now!

No...

I order you,

in the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Out, you demon.

Return to hell!

There is only one God,

he who is the highest in heaven.

I order you,

in the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Father...

What the hell?

Call Detective Kang Kil-young.

Mr. Kim Young-su...

will now tell her where his daughter is.

Inside, inside!

Yes! Down there!

Are you all right?

-Hurry! -Just wait!

-Are you all right? -It's all right.

It's all right now.

It's all right, Su-jin.

Where is he? Park Il-do.

It's a kidnap-homicide. There were dead women in the trunk.

I saw it clearly.

-We've had no such reports at the station. -Of course there were no bodies found.

The murderer carries them around in his trunk.

Are you positive? Do you have evidence?

I need to confirm it's the third victim. The police will take care of the rest.

Forget it. I'll find him myself.

I saw him. That powerful spirit. Park Il-do!

Who are you? Where is Park Il-do?
