EPISODE 10

Hello.

Is everything okay?

What could happen out here? When are you coming?

I packed some salted fish.

You should come and get some.

It's better than store-bought.

Just send it by courier.

It's hard for me to get to town.

Because of your motion sickness?

Does the smell of bus exhaust still make you nauseous?

Yes, it does.

I should go see where you live,

but it's so hard for me to ride in a car.

I'll visit you soon.

I have something to ask you.

It's about Dad.

Why bring up that troubling topic?

Is there anything you haven't told me?

Let's see.

After he disappeared like that,

remember how I filed a missing person report?

Years later, I finally found him in Seoul.

But he was so adamant about not coming back home.

And we lost touch.

Later on, I went to your grandmother and mother's graves

on the anniversaries of their deaths,

and saw signs he'd been there.

But even that stopped a few years ago.

I want to find him again, but I can't travel around in a car.

You don't even have his number, do you?

Right.

He was always good at hiding whenever he ran away.

And whenever he did, he'd drive far away.

Because he knew I couldn't ride in cars.

Why run away?

He didn't want to inherit the shamanic lineage.

Probably because he saw his mother suffer so much.

And even when you were born, he insisted on moving out.

He threw such a fit, you know?

If only I hadn't stopped him back then…

Come on.

You should stop saying things like that.

Gosh.

The more I think about it, the more heartless he seems.

He never even visited when his own flesh and blood was here.

Hi.

Hey!

I told you to wait outside.

- Why? - What do you mean?

- There's something we need to talk about. - Again?

Stop with your nonsense.

Is this…

Right, okay.

Bye now.

I need water.

What's the emergency?

Could you help me find someone?

My dad.

He left home on the day of the incident 20 years ago.

Why now?

My dad's wedding ring was found in Father Choi's belongings.

Why was it in there?

I also want to know

if he's connected to Father Choi's suicide.

BACKGROUND CHECK

YOON GEUN-HO

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

Is that so?

Is there no other way?

He has a few records of police investigations for assault.

Police investigations?

Yes.

He was investigated recently too.

SANGYONG CHURCH

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

The police questioned you about a fight with Yoon Geun-ho.

I am a deacon at this church.

Do you really think it was a mutual attack?

He is a very strange man.

What do you mean by that?

You see…

When he first joined the church, he seemed like a very devout man.

But later on,

he said a demon was chasing him.

Ridiculous.

- A demon? - Yes.

So I told him to stop talking about it, and a fight broke out.

Does he not come to church anymore?

He can't.

I found out later that he went to several churches.

He went to temples and visited shamans too.

He really is a strange man.

Do you know where he lives?

He doesn't have a home.

He goes to the employment agency down at the intersection

and barely scrapes by.

- An employment agency? - Yes.

CHO EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

Are you okay?

I don't know. It's been 20 years.

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

Relax.

Don't be nervous. It's your dad.

That…

I think that's him over there.

Dad?

Dad?

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Damn it.

I can't pay for dry cleaning.

I'm not getting any work, and now this crap happens!

He's drunk again.

That's why you fight with the foreman all the time.

I haven't had work for a month.

Did you hear me?

What are you doing?

You want to see someone die?

Jeez.

Should we just die together right now?

Don't touch me!

Dad.

What?

It's me, Hwa-pyeong.

I'm your son, Hwa-pyeong.

- Hey, what are you doing? - What the heck?

What's going on?

Wait.

Why are you running away?

Get away from me.

I'm your son, Hwa-pyeong.

What's the matter with you?

You demon bastard!

You're a demon!

I've spent my whole life running away,

but you found me again, Park Il-do.

Park Il-do?

Go away!

Help! Get him away from me!

He's trying to kill me. Help! Get him away!

He's my dad. Don't mind him.

You're not my son!

You…

You're not my son.

I'm running late. I'm on my way.

You don't need to come here. Go to where Hwa-pyeong's father lives.

Why? Is something wrong?

He saw Hwa-pyeong and fled, calling him Park Il-do.

He pulled a knife on him.

Is Mr. Yoon okay?

No, he's not.

You should go see him instead.

Just don't mention Hwa-pyeong.

Mr. Yoon!

Mr. Yoon!

No work again today, right? When are you going to pay rent?

Unbelievable.

Someone's here to see you!

Who are you?

I'm Father Matthew from South Catholic Church.

A priest?

A cross.

Do you have a cross on you?

What's this about?

It's about Park Il-do.

He sent you.

You demons.

I'm looking for Park Il-do.

You finally found me.

You relentless bastards. He even possessed a priest with a cross.

No, I am a real priest.

- I'm looking for Park Il-do too. - Don't lie.

Park Il-do sent you

to kill me.

Father Choi Sang-hyeon.

What?

The young priest who visited your house when you son was possessed.

The priest whose family died because of it.

That Father Choi Sang-hyeon…

is my older brother.

This was found next to his remains.

Why was your ring

found there?

That's…

Please tell me.

Did you bury my dead brother?

- Or-- - I had a hand

in your brother's death.

What do you mean?

Back then…

I…

I couldn't kill him, but…

You…

- You're not my son! - No!

No! Stop it!

Hurry, Hwa-pyeong! Run!

- Dad, I have to kill him. - No, you can't!

That demon!

Park Il-do!

Park Il-do!

Father,

have you seen my son?

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father Choi!

Father Choi!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Why are you doing this?

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Father!

Help!

No!

No.

Father!

No!

What…

did my brother say?

"You're next."

"Run away…

from your son."

And then…

he stabbed

one of his own eyes

himself.

And…

he died.

"Run away from your son"?

What does that mean?

Father Choi was Park Il-do.

So why did he say that?

I don't know.

Maybe to confuse us, or an evil spirit's trick.

He ran after hearing Father Choi, who was possessed by Park Il-do.

Even now, he still thinks I'm Park Il-do.

Why on earth would he believe that?

Park Il-do had already left my body by then!

Running away his whole life like a fool.

His whole life…

That's not true.

That's not all.

What is this?

I looked for Park Il-do…

to see if he was a real person,

why he became a ghost,

and why he killed my mother and wife.

I looked for everyone in the country named Park Il-do.

Dead or alive.

To see if he's a ghost or a living spirit.

But

Park Il-do…

never existed.

There was no such person.

That thing was never

human to begin with.

Park Il-do…

never existed.

He searched all over the country.

Your father…

suffered too.

Suffered?

He ran from the suffering.

He abandoned his old father and his young son.

My grandpa paces by the gate every night,

hoping he might come back.

I hadn't thought of it until now.

But if Park Il-do is a name,

then he was a real person.

That doesn't matter.

I just need to find and destroy him.

We need clues to find Park Il-do.

Did you hear anything else as a kid?

No.

Even in my hometown,

nobody in my family would talk about Park Il-do.

I should go to your hometown and investigate.

Running away

and wasting his whole life. So pathetic…

He should've killed Park Il-do the ghost, not Park Il-do the person.

He probably couldn't

because he thought…

his own son was Park Il-do.

Hey.

He couldn't because it was his son?

That day,

20 years ago,

he tried to strangle me to death.

He said I was Park Il-do's ghost…

He really tried to kill me.

Gosh.

I'm off.

I'm way too drunk.

Unbelievable.

He drank soju on an empty stomach.

Jeez.

I'll take him home.

Okay.

Thank you.

You don't even have water?

I don't.

No water, no money, no nothing.

You live alone.

You should take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself. You live alone too.

What a fool. It's not like priests earn lots of money.

Don't move.

What is it?

Ta-da!

Isn't it pretty? Your dad bought this for me.

My engagement ring was silver,

but he replaced it with this.

What's this green thing? It's ugly.

It's called an emerald.

Your dad picked it out since it's my birthstone.

I told you not to move.

Gosh, there's one that's as big as a fly.

You're not my son.

You're a ghost. Die!

Dad!

I can go alone.

I know you're busy.

I am busy.

I'm going because I'm off duty.

Since Hwa-pyeong won't go, I should go with you.

Can we find anything by ourselves?

You said the villagers dislike Mr. Yoon.

We'll have a better chance of finding out about Park Il-do.

The first person possessed by Park Il-do was in that village?

He said that's what he heard as a kid.

We should look into that first.

Okay.

Let's ask the villagers.

They must know something.

Hello. Can I ask you something?

We're looking into a local legend about Park Il-do.

Why would you be looking into that? I don't know anything.

I don't know! Move!

Go away! Get out of here!

Go away!

What a thing to ask…

We don't know much.

Ask that old man over there.

He should know something.

Who is that?

There's an old man who lives alone.

He doesn't go to the senior center.

He's a strange old man who keeps to himself.

Over there.

It's Hwa-pyeong's grandfather.

What should we do?

Since we're concealing our hunt for Park Il-do,

let's not mention Mr. Yoon.

Living in the countryside, I never get any visitors.

I do have a grandson, but he rarely visits.

Come, take a seat.

Right, then.

What would a detective and a priest

want to know about this village?

Well…

We want to know about Park Il-do.

That story?

We really need to know.

Get out. Get out of my house!

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

Please.

Which damned fools told you that?

Don't utter that cursed name, and get out right now!

I said get out!

Father Choi Sang-hyeon.

You know him.

What?

Father Choi Sang-hyeon came here because your grandson was possessed.

I'm his younger brother.

I'm after Park Il-do.

I heard

about your family.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

I heard that years ago,

someone possessed by Park Il-do jumped into the sea and died.

I want to know if he really existed,

and exactly who he was.

I saw him

with my own eyes.

It happened 60 years ago,

but I can never forget it.

Why isn't he dying?

Look at him. He's been alive for days.

He didn't die.

He floated in the water for days,

glaring at people.

No! He's a ghost!

He wasn't human.

Who was that man?

Was he from here?

No.

One day, he suddenly showed up here

and killed someone.

When the villagers chased him,

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

And then, for days and nights, he stayed afloat in the water.

Was he the first man possessed by Park Il-do?

I'm not sure about that.

I wanted to find out what Park Il-do was

so I could somehow save my grandson.

I thought that the drowned man's family was my only hope.

So I searched for them everywhere.

I barely managed to find out his name

and where his family lived.

Here.

But it was all for nothing in the end.

My family

was completely torn apart.

Now I feel bad for Hwa-pyeong,

for meeting his grandfather behind his back.

The more I learn about him…

the more I realize he's had a hard life.

I blamed him, thinking we were the only people who suffered.

Park Il-do's been killing people for 60 years, right?

Why is that?

What could be his purpose?

Demons don't have a purpose.

They just enjoy human suffering.

The dead, those possessed by Park Il-do,

and even us, who are chasing him…

We've been dragged into his game.

He will keep killing people.

We have to stop it.

Okay.

Was Lee Cheol-yong the first person possessed by Park Il-do ?

Let's investigate him first.

We're looking for Mr. Lee Cheol-yong, who rented here 60 years ago.

My gosh.

How strange.

Why ask about ancient history?

It's been a long time,

- but do you recall-- - It's been so long.

Having said that…

I remember it all.

You do?

Lee Cheol-yong.

That crazy man who called himself the ghost of Park Il-do.

I saw him.

I did.

I saw him clearly.

I was playing in the yard,

and I heard people talking from inside that house.

Go away!

Leave me alone!

I said go!

Okay.

Who are you?

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 about my age,

but after he died at sea,

late one night,

they quietly left the village.

Do you remember anything else?

His son used to brag

about his dad being a driver for a VIP in Seoul.

He said he drove around a lot of Japanese people too.

Do you know where his family went?

I don't know.

All I remember is the son's name.

It was Lee Sang-cheol.

Someone asked the exact same question 20 years ago.

He said his child

was possessed by the ghost of Park Il-do.

But then he suddenly

disappeared.

- Have a good night. - You, too. Good work today.

- Good work today. - Bye.

Good work, Mr. Baek.

Don't drink too much, and hurry home.

- Okay? - Okay.

APARTMENT CONSTRUCTION SITE

What the…

Why are you back?

You told the employment agency not to give me jobs, didn't you?

Damn it.

That's because you can't cut it.

Get out of here.

You stole my money too, didn't you?

I know my daily wage was less than the others'.

I know you pocketed some.

I told you I deducted the commission fee!

You bastard!

Are you crazy?

You pathetic jerk.

Hey, wait.

Wait.

- Who the heck are you? - Me?

I'm his son.

Try that one more time, and I won't let it slide.

No, it's just…

He started it first.

Get up. What are you doing?

Get away from me!

Please, just stop it already.

Stop running away!

Why are you being this way? I'm your son!

Let go of me!

You're not my son.

You…

You're Park Il-do.

Snap out of it, please.

Look at me.

Do I still look like I'm possessed?

You were there too.

Twenty years ago, when Father Choi came to visit,

Park Il-do transferred to Father Choi.

You said you saw it yourself!

No.

Father Choi isn't Park Il-do.

I'm telling you.

Trust me, please!

No!

Father Choi isn't Park Il-do.

He was possessed

by a lesser ghost controlled by Park Il-do.

What?

You're next.

Run away from your son.

What do you mean?

Park Il-do has called us.

Park Il-do…

is in your house.

Are you sure you heard right?

Yes.

I heard him right.

It's still vivid.

Park Il-do

didn't transfer to Father Choi.

Park Il-do is still

inside you.

You possessed Father Choi.

- Hello. - Where are you?

I'm in Gyeyangjin with Detective Kang.

We're looking into Park Il-do.

Listen.

I just met my dad.

Turns out,

your brother wasn't possessed by Park Il-do.

- He was possessed by a lesser ghost. - What do you mean?

I thought Park Il-do transferred from me, but that wasn't right.

What is it? What's going on?

He says

my brother wasn't possessed by Park Il-do.

I thought he transferred during Hwa-pyeong's exorcism.

What happened exactly?

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

Afterwards, I could see out of my right eye again.

So I thought he transferred to your brother, but he didn't.

Was anyone there besides Father Yang

and my brother?

My grandpa and my dad.

Then…

let's ask the people who were there that day.

INN

Open the door. We need to talk.

How did you find me?

Go away.

Go away!

Open up. I need to ask you something!

If you come any closer,

I'll kill myself.

I said I'll kill myself!

I can't live like this anymore.

I'd rather die than let you kill me.

All right, I'll leave.

Just tell me this.

When the two priests came 20 years ago,

was anyone else in the house?

No, there wasn't.

Just the priests, me, my son, and my grandson.

What happened after the priests left?

I told you, nothing happened.

Your grandfather and I just stared blankly at you.

There was nothing we could do.

So the three of us

stayed in that room all night?

No.

Right after the priests left, I stepped out.

I went to consult a relative nearby.

I was scared to leave the boy alone, so I told my son to watch him.

I was worried my grandson might stab himself in the eye.

So it was just your son

and your grandson in the room?

Right. I wasn't there.

My son and grandson were alone in the house.

Can we talk?

It was just me, you,

and my father in the house.

We were sitting in the room

when Dad suddenly called me outside.

He said things had to change.

I think this family is cursed.

We have to end this.

End what? What do you mean?

If that evil ghost stays in Hwa-pyeong,

not only our family,

but the whole village will be destroyed.

We can't ask others for help.

You're his father. You do it.

What?

What do you mean?

My father…

told me…

to strangle you that day.

He said we had to kill Park Il-do.

My father made me do it.

It's my grandson.

Yes. It's me.

Have you eaten…

What do you mean?

Is it true that you told Dad

to kill me 20 years ago?

What?

What did you just say?

What did you say?

You stopped him that night when Dad strangled me.

But Dad just said

you made him do it!

Your dad?

Did you find your dad?

Where is he now?

- Tell me. - Answer me.

Is it true?

No, I never said that.

Where is he?

Is he with you?

Hello?

Hwa-pyeong! Hello?

What's going on?

Are you okay?

I've told you everything I know.

You should leave now.

Can't you tell us a little more?

Please go now.

I said go!

This phone is turned off. After the beep, you'll be connected to voicemail…

Is Hwa-pyeong still not answering?

His phone is off.

What happened with his grandfather?

I don't know.

I'll go and look

for the possessed man's son, then contact you tomorrow.

You were here?

Mr. Yoon.

I've been searching for Park Il-do all this time…

but I never doubted it once.

What are you talking about?

Neither Park Hong-ju nor your brother was Park Il-do.

After Father Yang and your brother left, the only ones remaining

were my grandpa and my dad.

It has to be one of them.

Something is definitely wrong.

Your grandfather said he wasn't home that night.

What do you mean?

I went to Gyeyangjin today.

I ran into your grandfather there.

You met my grandpa?

Did my grandpa mention that day?

He said he went to a relative's house that night…

leaving only you and your father at home.

My dad said the three of us were together.

They're telling different stories.

One of them is lying.

Does that mean the one

who's lying is Park Il-do?

Hello?

Why did you do it?

Geun-ho?

Why?

Why did you stop me when I tried to kill Park Il-do?

You told me to do it.

What do you mean? Where are you?

You're not possessed by him too, are you?

If you aren't, run away right now.

You'll be possessed too.

You saw that young priest.

You are in danger.

I asked where you are!

Your brother wasn't Park Il-do's host, he was possessed by a lesser spirit?

Yoon Hwa-pyeong's father was the last person

to see my brother alive.

He heard that from my brother, who became possessed.

That Park Il-do

was still in that house.

Do you mean Yoon Hwa-pyeong's house?

When you visited that house 20 years ago,

didn't you notice anything odd

about Hwa-pyeong's grandfather or father?

I'm not sure.

It was so long ago. I don't recall anything specific.

Have you seen them since then?

No.

That was my first and last time visiting.

I see.

Yun, the last people Hwa-pyeong saw

were me,

his grandfather and his father, right?

Then you must suspect everyone.

Including me.

And Yoon Hwa-pyeong too.

Him too?

Once a demon sets

its sights on someone, it hunts them down and claims their soul.

You should be careful too, Matthew.

Grandpa!

Grandpa.

What?

INCOMING CALL MY GRANDSON

RECENT CALL LOG MY GRANDSON

Excuse me, sir.

Hi!

You're back.

Yes.

Have you seen my grandpa?

He left his phone behind.

Gosh, he must have gone there again.

- The intercity bus terminal. - What? What for?

What do you think?

He probably took a bus to Sangyong-si.

Sangyong-si?

He can't take long car trips because he gets motion sick.

No, he's been traveling far lately

to meet someone.

Meet who?

I wouldn't know that.

SANHO INN

How did you get here?

Dad.

Why did you come here?

You shouldn't have…

told him.

You shouldn't have

told him.

Dad.

BUS TICKET

I should go see where you live,

but it's so hard for me to ride in a car.

Hello?

- Who is-- - Where are you?

Let's meet now.

Dad? Is this you?

- How did you get my number? - I just asked Father Choi's brother.

I heard you went to Grandpa's.

- He's here now. - What?

Get here quickly.

I found out who Park Il-do is.

SANGYONG POLICE STATION

Is this Mr. Lee Sang-cheol's family?

Did Mr. Lee Sang-cheol ever live in Gyeyangjin while he was alive?

I see.

Okay.

DONGGU-RI, GYEYANGJIN-SI

Hello?

Is this Mr. Lee Sang-cheol?

This is he.

I have something to ask you.

Did you ever live in Gyeyangjin?

Is your father's name Lee Cheol-yong?

He lived in Gyeyangjin in 1958.

I heard your father was possessed

by Park Il-do then.

I know this must be hard.

Having to talk about that time…

You do, do you?

I do know.

I lost my family to Park Il-do too.

I'm looking for Park Il-do.

Please tell me if you know anything.

I've seen him.

Seen who?

I saw Park Il-do

before he became a ghost.

Hi, Yun.

I met the son of Park Il-do's original host from 60 years ago.

I found out what Park Il-do was like when he was alive.

What did he say?

Let's talk in person.

I can't reach Hwa-pyeong on the phone.

Where is he?

Dad.

Hurry, come in.

Hwa-pyeong.

You're all grown up.

I was wrong

for abandoning you.

You went through so much at a young age…

and lost your mom.

Even I ran away.

Why say this now?

It wasn't you.

You weren't Park Il-do.

Dad.

I kept saying those things to you,

not knowing the truth.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

But how did you find out?

You see,

Park Il-do is your grandpa.

What?

He came looking for me.

You know that, right?

Grandpa could never leave Gyeyangjin.

Even when I ran away as a kid, he couldn't come looking for me.

But

he came looking for me.

He was a completely different person.

Where is Grandpa now?

I don't know.

I chased him away with this as soon as I saw him.

Thankfully, he ran away today,

but he'll come back.

Right, we have to run away.

Hwa-pyeong, let's run away. Just the two of us.

We need to pack.

Did he really come here? How did he even know?

Even if we hide, those ghosts know everything.

We have to run away now.

If I get caught now, it's my turn.

Okay. Just calm down.

Are you in there? You have a call.

Forget it, I'm not answering!

They said it's urgent. Hurry up and answer.

Hwa-pyeong,

I'll be back right after this call.

Wait here for a second, okay?

Yes, speaking.

Hello?

Who is this?

How long are you going to be on the phone?

Is it a job offer?

Can you pay the rent you owe?

That's it. I can't take this anymore.

I told you I'd call the police!

Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

Dad!

It's all your fault.

If it weren't for you…

When did you get possessed?

Since when?

You killed my mother.

You killed my wife too.

Because of you, my family…

You should have died

20 years ago.

Dad.

He's been hiding his whole life.

But Park Il-do got him because I found him.

Get to the police station.

You're a suspect in the innkeeper's murder.

I have to find my dad. He's going to die!

Where could he be?

If he's possessed, he will have gone after someone else for sure.

"We will find Yoon Hwa-pyeong."

"We must finish what was left undone that day."

We have to find him.

And we have to stop him.
