EPISODE 10

-Hello. -How is everything?

Nothing happens in October. When are you going to come?

I have some side dishes for you.

Come down and pick some up.

It's different from the store-bought stuff.

Ship some.

It's difficult to go into town.

Is it because of car sickness?

Do you get nauseous just from the smell of gasoline on the bus?

Yes.

I should go see where you live,

but it's just hard to do so without riding transit.

I'll get down there soon.

I need to ask you something.

It's about Dad.

Why talk about things that will upset you?

Is there anything...

you haven't told me?

Well...

after he disappeared, we reported him missing.

After a couple of years, we found him in Seoul.

But he refused to come back home.

So we just gave up.

Later, though, when we visited your mom and grandma's graves,

there were signs that he'd stopped by.

But that was a long time ago.

I want to find him, but it's impossible without taking transit.

You can't reach him at all?

Yes. Even as a kid, when he'd run away from home, he was good at hiding.

When he ran away, he used to ride transit

because he knew I couldn't.

He'd run away?

He didn't want to take on the family shaman business.

He saw how much work his mom had to do.

And when you were born,

he always said he was going to move out.

Maybe if I'd let him have his way back then...

Stop it with all of that.

The more I think about it,

the more I realize he's a difficult man.

He refuses to come see his only blood relations.

Hello.

-I told you to wait outside. -Him?

-What? I have to tell him something. -Again?

Don't start with that nonsense.

Okay, okay...

Water.

-What's the emergency? -I need you to find someone.

My father.

That day 20 years ago after the accident, he left us.

Why now all of a sudden?

My father's wedding ring was found among Father Choi's things.

Why was it found there?

I want to know why as well,

in case it has anything to do with Father Choi's suicide.

IDENTITY SEARCH

PERSONAL HISTORY SEARCH: YOON GEUN-HO

The whereabouts of your father, Yoon Geun-ho, are unclear.

Really? Then is there any other way?

There are a few reported incidents of physical altercations.

Reports?

Yeah. He was involved in a recent case.

Yoon Geun-ho? Why are you looking for him?

The report says that you and he assaulted each other in a recent case.

I am a deacon at this church.

You think I would assault someone?

He truly is a strange man.

-Can you tell me in detail? -Of course.

SANGYONG CHURCH

At first, when he came here, I thought he was a very devout man.

Later, I found out that he claimed the devil was after him.

-I mean, come on. -The devil?

Yes, so I told him to stop it with all this devil talk.

And that's when the fight occurred.

Mr. Yoon no longer attends the church?

He's not allowed to. I found out later that he's been to many churches

and temples and shamans.

There really is something wrong with him.

Do you by any chance know where he resides?

He has no home.

He barely gets by, working with that employment agency near the intersection.

-Employment agency? -Yes.

CHO EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

Are you okay?

I'm not sure. It's been 20 years.

I don't know what to say or if he'll even recognize me.

Relax. Why are you so tense? He's your father.

Over there.

I think that's him.

Father.

Father.

My mistake. I'm sorry.

Damn it.

I can't pay for dry cleaning.

You don't give me any work. Can't get a break anywhere.

You're drunk again.

That's why you always fight with the site manager.

I didn't work for a month.

-What are you doing? -You want to see someone die?

You want to die with him?

Let go! Let go of me!

Father.

What?

It's me, Hwa-pyung.

Your son, Hwa-pyung.

What are you doing?

Hold on.

-Why are you running away? -Get away.

It's me.

Why are you doing this to me?

You ghost bastard. You devil.

I've run my entire life.

And you still come after me, Park Il-do?

Park Il-do?

Get away!

Get this man.

He's trying to kill me. Get him.

He's my father. Don't worry about it.

You're not my son!

You're...

not my son.

It's too late. I'm on my way.

Not here. Head over to where Hwa-pyung's father lives.

Why? Did something happen?

He saw Hwa-pyung, called him Park Il-do, then ran off, wielding a knife, no less.

Is Hwa-pyung okay?

He's not.

Go meet him.

Don't talk about Hwa-pyung.

Mr. Yoon.

Mr. Yoon.

Did you screw up again?

When are you going to pay rent?

Damn it.

Someone's here to see you.

Who are you?

I'm Father Matthew from the Southern Church.

Priest?

Cross.

Do you have a cross? A cross?

What is it?

It's regarding Park Il-do.

He sent you.

Those devil bastards.

I'm looking for Park Il-do.

You finally came here.

Bastards.

Crosses, exorcists, all possessed.

No. I'm an exorcist. I'm looking for Park Il-do.

Don't lie to me.

Park Il-do sent you to kill me.

Father Choi.

What?

That young priest who came to exorcise your son.

The priest whose family all died because of it.

That Father Choi...

was my brother.

It was discovered near my brother's remains.

Why was your ring found there?

That... That's...

Tell me.

Did you bury my brother?

-Or... -I helped your brother die.

What are you talking about?

That...

bastard.

I didn't kill him then.

-You're not my son. -Dad...

No...

Run away, now!

-Hurry! Hwa-pyung! -Let go!

Run!

No!

Park Il-do!

Park Il-do!

Father.

Have you seen my kid?

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father Choi!

Father Choi!

Father!

Father!

Father.

Father.

Father.

Father, why are you doing this?

Help me!

Is there anybody out there?

Someone's dying.

Someone's dying...

What did...

my brother say?

"You're next.

Run away...

from your son."

And then...

he stabbed himself...

in the eye with his own hands.

And then...

he died.

He said to run away from his son?

What does that mean?

Father Choi was Park Il-do.

So why would he say that?

I don't know.

Maybe it was to confuse him, if it was the demon playing with him.

A few words from a possessed Father Choi, and he spends his whole life on the run.

He still thinks that I'm Park Il-do.

Why would he believe him? By then, Park Il-do had left my body.

Running away for his whole life like a coward.

Crazy bastard.

No.

He wasn't just running away.

What is this?

I was looking for Park Il-do.

If he was ever a real person,

why did he become a spirit?

Why did he kill my mom and my wife?

I searched the whole country for anyone claiming to be Park Il-do,

dead or alive,

whether a spirit or a living being.

But...

there is no Park Il-do.

There was never anyone alive named Park Il-do.

He was never a person.

There was no Park Il-do.

He searched the whole country.

Your father...

He also suffered.

Suffered?

That's why he ran away?

Abandoned his elderly father and his young son?

My grandpa still waits for him at the front door,

just in case he shows up.

I didn't even think about it.

But if Park Il-do is a name, then at some point he had to be a person.

That doesn't matter.

We just have to find him and get rid of him.

We need to know something in order to find him.

You don't remember anything about him when you were younger?

No.

My town and my relatives never spoke of him.

We should go back to your town and investigate more.

Running away for his whole life for nothing.

Pathetic.

He should have destroyed the spirit Park Il-do, not human Park Il-do.

He couldn't.

His own son...

was Park Il-do to him.

Hey,

you think he wouldn't kill his own son?

That bastard, 20 years ago,

tried to strangle me to death.

Yelling out that I was Park Il-do.

He really tried to kill me.

I'll get going.

I'm too drunk.

That man...

drinking all that soju on an empty stomach.

I'll take him home.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

You don't even have any water?

No water. No water...

No water. There's nothing.

Living alone...

you need to take care of yourself.

You take care of yourself. You live alone too.

Like a priest makes any money.

Don't move.

What is it?

Your dad got it for me. Isn't it pretty?

We got married with silver rings. We got new ones now.

What's this green thing? It's not pretty.

It's an emerald.

It's my birthstone.

I told you not to move.

There's a giant one in there.

It's the size of a fly.

You're not my son.

Die, you ghost!

I could have gone by myself. You're busy.

I am. I'm only going because I'm off after an all-nighter.

Hwa-pyung didn't want to go. I should at least go.

Do you think we can find it?

You said that the townspeople hated Hwa-pyung.

It's probably better this way. Easier to find info on Park Il-do.

You said that the first person Park Il-do possessed was there?

Hwa-pyung heard the story when he was younger.

Let's go find out about that first.

Yeah, let's just ask the townspeople. There must be something.

Hello, sorry to bother you. May I ask you a question?

We're looking for info on some of the town's fables concerning Park Il-do.

Why do you ask?

I know nothing. Get out!

Get away. Go away. Get out of here.

Coming here with all of that...

We don't know very much, but go ask that old man.

He'll tell you.

-Who? -There's an old man that lives alone.

He never comes out to the town center.

He just lives alone. A strange man.

Over there.

It's Hwa-pyung's grandfather.

What do we do?

We're keeping our Park Il-do search a secret,

so let's not tell Hwa-pyung.

I live so far out, I never have guests.

I do have a grandson, but he doesn't visit much.

Sit down, please.

Here's one for the detective.

Here's one for the Father.

What would you like to know about our town?

The thing is

we want to know about Park Il-do.

That story?

We really need to find out.

Get out of my house.

The townspeople said that you know a lot about Park Il-do.

Please.

Those bastards said that?

That goddamn name. Don't say it in my house. Get out now.

-Get out! -Father Choi.

You know him.

What?

Your grandson was possessed, and a young priest, Father Choi...

came here. I'm his brother.

We're looking for Park Il-do.

We heard what happened in your house.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

We heard that there was a man in this town that was possessed by Park Il-do,

who jumped into the sea and died.

We want to know if that person really existed

and who he was.

If you're talking about him, I've seen him.

It's been 60 years.

But I can never forget it.

Ghost!

Why aren't you dying?

He didn't die.

He just floated there and stared at everyone.

No, no...

A ghost, it's a ghost.

That wasn't a person.

Who was that man? Was he from here?

No.

He just showed up one day and started killing.

When the townspeople went after him,

he stabbed himself in the eye and jumped into the sea.

And he just stayed there for several days and nights.

Was he the first one to be possessed by Park Il-do?

I'm not sure.

I wanted to find out what Park Il-do was

in order to save my grandson.

That man that was in the sea,

I figured there was nothing left but to find his family.

So I asked everyone everywhere.

I found out his name

and where his family lived.

But it was all useless.

My family...

was destroyed.

Now I just feel bad for Hwa-pyung,

meeting his grandpa behind his back.

Hwa-pyung's past...

The more I find out, the more I realize how tough it was.

I thought it was just us. I didn't understand him.

Park Il-do started killing people 60 years ago.

Why did he start?

What's his goal?

The devil has no goal.

He just enjoys humanity's pain.

The dead,

those possessed by Park Il-do,

even us chasing after him,

we're all a part of the devil's game.

He will continue to kill. We have to stop him.

So, the first person to be possessed was Lee Chul-yong, right?

Let's start with him.

We're looking for Lee Chul-yong, your tenant from 60 years ago.

How odd.

It's been so long.

It has been a while.

But that Lee Chul-yong...

It has been a while, but...

-I remember everything. -You do?

Lee Chul-yong.

He said he was the spirit of Park Il-do, that insane man.

I knew he was insane.

I absolutely knew it.

I was playing in the yard

when I heard a conversation.

Leave. Leave me alone.

Leave.

Okay, okay.

Who are you?

I am Park Il-do.

He said he was Park Il-do.

And then he did something terrible.

What happened to his family?

He had a wife and a son, around my age.

Once the man died,

the family disappeared in the middle of the night.

Do you remember anything else?

That son always bragged

about his dad,

how he used to be a driver for someone important in Seoul.

He even had Japanese customers.

Do you know where his family went?

No idea.

The only thing I remember is his son's name.

Sang-chul. Lee Sang-chul.

There was someone who asked all this 20 years ago.

He said his child was possessed.

But he disappeared.

Get home safe.

Good job today.

Good job.

Don't drink too much. Go home early.

What? Why are you here again?

You told the employment agency not to give me any work?

You're terrible at your job. That's why.

You stole my money.

I know my pay was lower than everybody else's.

You stole it.

I told you, it was a fee.

-Damn it. -Are you insane?

Damn it. I swear to...

No.

Hold on. Hold on...

-Who are you? -Me? I'm his son.

If you try it once more, it's not going to be pretty.

It's that...

he started it.

Get up. What are you doing?

Get away. Get away!

Stop it. Seriously.

Stop running away!

Why are you doing this? I'm your son.

Let go.

You're not my son.

You are Park Il-do.

Get it together. Please.

Look at me.

Do I look like I'm still possessed?

You were there

20 years ago, when Father Choi came.

That's when Park Il-do entered Father Choi.

You saw it yourself.

No, no.

Father Choi is not Park Il-do.

-I'm right. Trust me. -No.

Father Choi is not Park Il-do.

He is just a minion of Park Il-do.

What?

You're next. Run away from your son...

-What are you talking about? -Park Il-do sent us.

Park Il-do...

is inside your house.

-Are you sure you heard him right? -Yes. I did.

I remember it so clearly.

Park Il-do

never entered Father Choi.

Park Il-do is still

inside you.

You possessed Father Choi.

-Yes? -Where are you?

I'm in Gyeyangjin with Detective Kang.

We're asking around about Park Il-do.

Listen, I just met up with my father.

Your brother

was never possessed by Park Il-do.

-He was possessed by one of his minions. -What are you talking about?

I thought Park Il-do moved onto him from me. But that wasn't the case.

What? What's the matter?

My brother was never possessed by Park Il-do.

You said that when he went to exorcise Hwa-pyung,

he became possessed.

Give me details.

That day, Father Yang and your brother came to see me.

Afterward, I was able to see through my right eye and I got better.

So I thought your brother got possessed, but apparently not.

That day, with Father Yang and my brother,

who else was there?

My grandpa and my dad.

Okay.

We need to check with everyone that was there.

MOTEL

Open the door. I need to talk to you.

How did you know I was here? Go back.

Go back.

Just open this door. I need to ask you something.

If you come any closer,

I'll kill myself.

I'll kill myself!

I can't live like this anymore.

I would rather kill myself than be killed by you.

All right.

Then just tell me this.

Twenty years ago, when the two priests came,

was there anybody else in the house?

There was no one else. It was the priests, me,

my son and grandson.

Then after the priests left, did anything happen?

Nothing happened.

My father and I just watched you,

because there was nothing we could do.

Then that day, the three of us

were in that room together?

No, after the priests left, I came out of the house.

I had to consult a nearby family.

I was afraid to leave my grandson alone, so I told my son to watch him.

I was worried he might try to stab himself again.

Then you're saying that it was only your son and grandson in the house?

Yes, that's right. I wasn't there.

It was just my son and grandson.

Let's talk outside.

In the house was you, me,

and my father. The three of us.

I was sitting in the room,

but he called me outside.

He said we couldn't continue this.

There is a wicked spirit in our house.

We need to end it.

End it? End what?

If the demon inside Hwa-pyung stays there,

our family

and our whole town will be ruined.

We can't ask someone else,

so you'll have to do it.

What?

What are you talking about?

That day...

when I strangled you...

it was because my dad told me to.

We have to get rid of Park Il-do.

It was what Dad ordered me to do.

It's my grandson.

Yeah, it's me.

Did you eat...

What are you talking about?

Twenty years ago, did you tell Dad to kill me?

What? What are you talking about?

What did you just say?

That night that Dad strangled me, you tried to stop him,

but Dad said you ordered him to do it!

Your dad said that?

You saw your father?

Where is he?

Answer me. Is it true?

No, I've never said that.

Where is he?

Is he next to you?

Hey, listen.

Hwa-pyung. Hello...

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

I have nothing else to tell you.

Please leave.

Just a little bit more.

Leave now.

Just leave!

The number you're trying to reach is unavailable.

Please leave a message...

Hwa-pyung is still not answering?

His phone's off.

What happened with his grandpa?

I'm not sure.

I'll go to the station tomorrow and find that possessed man's son

and let you know.

You were here?

Hwa-pyung.

I was looking for Park Il-do this whole time...

and I never even suspected.

What are you talking about?

Park Hong-ju, your brother, neither of them was Park Il-do.

After Father Yang and your brother left,

only my dad and my grandpa remained.

It's one of the two.

There's something wrong.

Your grandfather claims that he was not there that day.

-What are you talking about? -We were in Gyeyangjin today.

By chance, we met your grandfather.

You met my grandpa?

Did he talk about that day?

He went to a relative's house.

Your father and you were the only ones left in the house.

My dad definitely said that all three of us were there.

The two stories don't match.

One of them is lying.

The one lying...

is Park Il-do?

Hello.

Why'd you do it?

-Geun-ho. -Why?

When I was trying to get rid of Park Il-do,

why'd you stop me?

You told me to.

What are you talking about? Where are you?

Has that bastard gotten to you?

If not, you need to run.

Or you too will be possessed.

You saw that young priest.

You're in danger.

Where are you?

Your brother was not Park Il-do, but was possessed by a lower demon?

Hwa-pyung's father was the last one

to see him 20 years ago.

He heard from my possessed brother

that Park Il-do was still in that house.

That house? Hwa-pyung's house?

Twenty years ago, when you and my brother went into that house,

did you not feel anything strange?

From Hwa-pyung's dad or grandfather?

It's been so long.

Nothing stands out.

You've never seen them since?

No.

That was the first and last time.

Yes.

You said that the very last person he saw

was either...

me, his father, or grandfather, right?

Then everyone is a suspect.

Including me.

And including Hwa-pyung.

Hwa-pyung too?

The devil...

never gives up once he decides he wants someone's soul.

You have to be careful, Matthew.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

What...

INCOMING CALL MY GRANDSON

RECENT CALLS

MY GRANDSON

Sir.

-You're here. -Yes.

Do you by any chance know where my grandfather went?

He left his phone.

He probably went there again.

-The bus terminal. -Why?

Why? To take the bus to Sangyong.

Sangyong?

My grandpa can't go on long car rides. He gets carsick.

No.

He's been traveling a lot recently. He says he needs to meet someone.

Who?

How would I know?

BUS TICKET

MOTEL

How'd you get here?

Dad.

Why are you here?

You shouldn't have told him.

You shouldn't have told him.

Dad.

CHUNSOO - GYEYANGJIN

CHUNSOO - GYEYANGJIN

SANGYONG - GYEYANGJIN

I should go see where you live,

but it's just hard to do so without riding in a car.

Hello? Who...

Where are you? I need to see you.

Dad?

-How'd you get this number? -I just asked that priest's brother.

You went to Grandpa's house?

Grandpa is here right now.

Get here quickly. I know who Park Il-do is.

SANGYONG POLICE STATION

Are you a relative of Lee Sang-chul?

Did Lee Sang-chul by any chance live in Gyeyangjin at one point?

All right.

Hello?

-Is this Lee Sang-chul? -Yes.

I have a few questions.

Did you ever live in Gyeyangjin?

Your dad's name is Lee Chul-yong?

He was in Gyeyangjin in '58.

I heard that your father

was possessed by Park Il-do.

I know it's difficult...

talking about that time again.

What do you know?

I know that I lost my family to Park Il-do too.

I'm looking for Park Il-do.

If you know anything, please let me know.

-I saw him once. -What?

I saw Park Il-do before he was a spirit.

Yeah, Choi Yoon.

I met the son of the man who was possessed by Park Il-do 60 years ago.

I found out exactly what kind of man Park Il-do was when he was alive.

-What did he say? -I'll tell you when I see you.

But Hwa-pyung is not answering his phone. Where are you?

MOTEL

Dad.

Come in quickly.

Hwa-pyung.

You're all grown up.

I'm sorry.

I abandoned you.

After experiencing that at such a young age,

losing your mom,

and me running away.

-Why, all of a sudden? -It wasn't you.

You were not Park Il-do.

Dad.

I didn't even know.

And I kept saying those things to you.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

How'd you figure it out?

That's because Park Il-do is...

Grandpa.

That bastard came to see me.

You know Grandpa can't travel outside Gyeyangjin.

Even when I was younger, he couldn't come catch me

if I ran away from home.

But that same man came to see me.

He has...

changed.

So where is Grandpa?

No idea.

As soon as I saw him, I got rid of him with this.

Luckily he left today,

but he'll be back.

We have to run.

Hwa-pyung, run away with me.

Stuff, stuff, get my stuff together.

Grandpa really came here? How'd he know to come here?

The spirits know everything.

We have to run.

If I get caught, it's my turn.

Okay, okay. Just relax.

Are you inside? You have a phone call.

No, I won't take it!

It's apparently an emergency.

Hwa-pyung.

I'll go take that and come back.

Just wait here. Okay?

Yes...

Hello?

Who are you?

Such a long phone call?

Are they giving you work? Can you pay the overdue rent?

Hey, I can't wait any longer.

I will call the police.

Yes.

Hello?

Hello?

-Dad. -It's because of you.

If it wasn't for you...

When did you get possessed?

When?

You killed my mother...

and my wife.

Because of you, my whole family...

had to die 20 years ago.

Dad.

He was hiding all his life.

I found him and now Park Il-do got him.

Get down to the police station, now.

You're a murder suspect in the motel owner's case.

We have to find my dad. He will die.

Where is he?

If he's possessed, he definitely would've gone to someone.

"I'll go find Yoon Hwa-pyung

and finish there, what wasn't finished."

We have to find him. We have to find him and stop him.
