THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS,

PLACES, OR EVENTS IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL

It's the master ghost, Park Il-do.

He commands lesser ghosts.

And those lesser ghosts possess people.

Dad! No, Dad. Stay with me!

It's my fault.

It's because I tracked my dad down.

It's not your fault. Park Il-do is evil.

We saved Seo-yun and Ms. Kim Yun-hui.

We saved them together.

Everyone around you dies.

I'm done looking for Park Il-do.

Park Il-do or not, I want to live quietly like everyone else.

I don't think he's given up.

- I have to catch Park Il-do. - How can you do it alone?

Whether I kill Park Il-do or I die, I have to finish it.

I think Yoon Hwa-pyeong is Park Il-do.

It was just like when I used to see dead people as a kid.

- Dad? - The suppression ritual's lost its effect.

What happens then?

That master ghost

will take complete control of him.

You'll see what you shouldn't see

and hear what you shouldn't hear.

He wants you. You know it too.

Father Choi. 20 years ago. He told you.

He is with you.

If you are a disciple of Hell, I command you.

Begone in the name of God.

- Park Il-do! - In the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

But I don't remember anything.

So you can stop chasing him.

- I'll do it alone from now on. - You can't.

Thanks to you and Yun, we didn't die.

We have to do this together.

"The second time we meet,

stab wounds will appear all over your body."

It's a prophecy of the possessed, right?

When we meet for the third time,

you will die for certain.

Father Yang.

Do you also suspect Father Yang?

The person helping Park Hong-ju was Father Yang.

The day of my dad's possession, Father Yang was the one who called.

Please, snap out of it.

It can't be Father Yang.

Whatever it takes, I'll prove that it's not Hwa-pyeong.

So please wait a bit, okay?

You're trying to hurt someone again!

Not Hwa-pyeong!

Vandalizing a Bible is what the possessed do.

Father Yang is possessed. By the evil spirit, Park Il-do.

May the Holy Cross be our light.

- What are you doing? - You'll face disciplinary action, Matthew!

Park Il-do.

Step down, Park Hong-ju!

In the beginning, Helping Hands was purely a volunteer group.

But Park Hong-ju ruined everything.

Do you have any evidence?

Of course I do.

That woman, Park Hong-ju, is a demon.

You…

Park Hong-ju has always looked up to Father Yang, but…

Someone meant for great things shouldn't act like this.

It's just like 20 years ago.

I told you to be careful multiple times.

Does anyone know you went to Kim Shin-ja's house?

No one except my driver.

Send him to me.

Father. Please help me.

I will save you from this pain.

- I'll go. - You're on probation.

I have to do it.

- A lost sheep will return home. - Who's there?

He must have arrived.

EPISODE 15

They're here.

Ms. Kim Shin-ja.

- Choi Yun? - Yes.

I told you, don't get distracted.

What do you mean, don't get distracted?

No!

Stop!

Don't hurt him any more than that.

Mr. Yoon.

What happened? Are you hurt?

Father Yang got away.

We have to catch him. He went down there.

Let me see your wound first.

We need to hurry.

We can't just let that ghost escape.

If you are a disciple of Hell…

I command you.

In the name of God…

She killed herself right in front of the police officers.

According to that voice recording, she was definitely murdered.

The team leader and the higher-ups will flip out again.

Hey.

What?

How's Hwa-pyeong?

He's not in a critical condition, but he lost a lot of blood.

What happened?

I think the possessed attacked him.

And Father Yang got away.

He told me to stay away because it's too dangerous.

I wouldn't have wanted you to come, either.

You two are the same.

Are you allowed to be here right now?

I'll be disciplined anyway.

I might even be kicked out of the priesthood.

I might be kicked out too.

The woman we thought was dead

showed up possessed.

The woman from Helping Hands and the man who worked for Park Hong-ju

were both possessed at the same time, right?

Father Yang must have done it.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Are you hurt too?

No, I'm fine.

When we meet for the third time…

you will die for certain.

Are you sure you're okay?

SANGYONG MEDICAL CENTER

You always get distracted.

You fail to protect those you should,

and you fail to see who you should see.

I fail to protect those I should?

Are you awake?

Your grandpa was moved to a new hospital yesterday.

Sorry? He was moved?

They said it was cleared with you.

A place called Helping Hands said they'll be treating him.

They said they knew you and your grandpa.

Who told you that?

Some older-looking priest.

I think he was called Father Yang.

Yes, we're looking into it now.

We're currently treating it as a kidnapping.

Is the suspect Father Yang Yun-mo?

Yes, and the hospital he was transferred to was fake.

But the really weird part is that the ambulance driver

stabbed himself in the eye and committed suicide at home last night.

We'll need to investigate further to find the connection.

I'll put out an APB for that priest immediately.

- What are you doing? - Father Yang…

I mean, Park Il-do kidnapped Grandpa.

We have to go save him.

Detective Kang is looking into it.

- Gyeyangjin police are on it too. - I found him after 20 years.

Who knows what Park Il-do will do to Grandpa?

I can't lose him too.

Father Yang took your grandpa in an ambulance.

He won't hurt him right away.

When the police find out where he is, we'll go.

Park Hong-ju.

He must be in touch with Park Hong-ju.

Congresswoman Park Hong-ju left the country.

Did you see anything? I heard you connected to Park Il-do.

Nothing.

If I did, I'd be after him.

There has to be a clue.

We have to find Grandpa fast.

- He's in danger. - I'll ask around the church too.

That damn ghost.

Why on earth did he take Grandpa?

What is he thinking?

Why are you staring?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just unusual to see a priest drive a car like this.

Hey, you! Why are you chatting with a customer?

Hey!

Are you here to play around?

Focus on your work, will you?

Go inside and get your ass to work, idiot!

I said get inside!

Damn it.

GAS STATION

I need you.

You must be our guide.

Where on earth are you?

I heard you ran away.

I'll explain everything later.

Did you hear about Father Yang?

The police are all over it. A kidnapping?

Why would Father Yang do such a thing?

That's not Father Yang.

He's not human.

- He's something else. - That nonsense again?

I really don't get it.

He kidnapped someone, didn't he?

He's clearly not normal.

There was a priest who said that before.

That Father Yang was strange.

We all just brushed it off then.

Who…

was that priest?

You're facing the disciplinary committee.

You might even get suspended.

You botched the initial investigation and mistook it for a murder,

and your negligence led the victim to commit suicide.

Plus, you got the wrong suspect.

It's because the suspect…

was Congresswoman Park Hong-ju, right?

I had no choice but to report it.

Someone has to take responsibility.

I understand.

I'm responsible for it.

It'll be closed as a suicide.

And the recordings don't count as evidence?

That's right.

Understood.

Detective Kang, are you just going to accept this?

Normally, you'd…

No, it was my mistake.

And Bong-sang did nothing wrong.

You're going to take the fall alone.

And until the disciplinary committee makes a decision,

don't come into work.

Yes, sir.

Why pack up everything? You'll be back soon.

I was told not to come in for a while.

I'll probably get suspended.

You should appeal. You didn't do anything wrong.

Forget it.

I don't want to make a fuss.

It's for the best.

- I have things to do during my time off. - Like what?

Things a police officer could never do.

- Are you really okay? - It's bearable.

I'd probably go crazy just waiting in a hospital room.

Are you really okay?

Is that all you two can say?

Let's go.

This priest knows Father Yang's past?

I thought he might know Father Yang's whereabouts.

What is this?

Don't tell me…

I'm taking some time off.

- Maybe for a long time. - Are you really being disciplined?

And you might get stripped of your priesthood.

Let's hurry up and catch Father Yang.

It's been over 20 years.

Father Yang and I ran a volunteer group.

In Deoknyeong Village, the least developed part of Gyeyangjin.

Back then, even though Father Yang was an exorcist,

he worked hard for the volunteer group.

He was a true priest back then.

What happened?

Maybe it was because he was an exorcist,

but Father Yang slowly changed.

I told him to quit, but he wouldn't listen.

He said he had to study the Devil.

He said someone in his family was possessed.

I'd like to hear more about his family.

Father Yang was a posthumous child.

I heard he was born after his father passed away.

His mother died soon after,

so Father Yang and his older brother

were both adopted, from what I heard.

Who in his family was possessed?

I don't know the details.

You reported to the diocese that Father Yang was acting strangely.

Yes, I did.

He used to be such an upstanding man,

but it seemed he always had a darkness in him.

He started drinking after he became an exorcist.

Then, 20 years ago,

he suddenly changed.

Who are you?

What's going on?

It's not raining. Why the raincoat?

And that dirt…

I shouldn't have become a priest.

What?

I shouldn't have believed in God.

Are you okay?

Humans can never defeat Satan.

- Never. - What are you talking about?

How can an exorcist say such things?

You're out of your mind.

Come here, let's talk.

Don't touch me.

Leave me alone!

I was terrified.

He wasn't the Father Yang I knew.

You said you're an exorcist, right?

Yes.

You remind me…

of Father Yang back then.

Your expression and your aura.

If you're also having a hard time,

you should quit being an exorcist.

You mentioned earlier that he had an older brother.

Do you know where his brother is now?

Let me see.

Before Father Yang was adopted, his original last name was Lee.

What was his name?

I heard he lived in Sangyong-si,

repairing shoes.

Repairing shoes?

Was his name Lee Sang-cheol by any chance?

That's right.

Lee Sang-cheol.

Lee Sang-cheol.

- I've seen him. - Seen who?

I saw Park Il-do

before he became a ghost.

He's the son of Lee Cheol-yong, the first person to be possessed.

Yes, thank you.

Is it true?

Father Yang is the son of Lee Cheol-yong, the first person possessed.

When Lee Cheol-yong died back then,

his wife was pregnant.

Father Yang is Lee Cheol-yong's second son.

And he lost contact with his brother 20 years ago.

Father Yang once said this to me.

Once a demon sets its sights on someone, it hunts them down and claims their soul.

It possessed his father, Lee Cheol-yong,

and now it's in his son, Father Yang.

It killed all of our parents,

and it wants to kill us, too.

Catching Park Il-do is one thing,

but can you perform the exorcism?

I have to.

I'll risk my life to do it.

Since it's the last time.

The last time?

I'm saying that exorcism is the only way.

There's another way besides an exorcism.

There'll be a clue at Gyeyangjin Hospital.

To find Father Yang, we have to start over there.

Soju is way better than whiskey, beer, or sake.

Right?

Stop frowning. You're ruining the mood.

How do I get rid of Park Il-do?

You really are ruining the mood.

If the exorcism fails,

is there another way?

There is one method we aren't supposed to use.

What is it?

- A killing curse. - Kill him?

Look.

Even the spirit I serve

will disappear if I die.

If the possessed person dies,

whether it's an ancestral spirit or a vengeful ghost,

it would have no way of staying.

If a possessed person died, would it disappear?

Look, whether Park Il-do is just a vengeful ghost

or a master ghost,

what holds him is a human body, just like this glass.

You have to break the glass.

Then, the spirits and ghosts

will go back to where they came from.

Whether that's the underworld or the path leading there.

Is killing the person the only way?

Actually, with that method,

if the target is a master ghost like Park Il-do,

it can escape into another person.

So, to catch Park Il-do,

the most certain way

is for the person possessed by Park Il-do to kill themselves.

They must seal Park Il-do in their body.

- How? - By accepting him.

Like doing a shamanic initiation.

It'll be even more certain if the person's a medium like you.

How does he become sealed in a body?

That can't be learned overnight.

It's hard. Just drink your soju.

After accepting him,

you seal him by setting up the sigil of Palmungeumswae-jin

and chanting the Palmunjin-gyeong.

And then…

Palmungeumswae-jin?

Palmunjin-gyeong? What are those?

Teach me.

I told you, it can't be learned overnight.

- Don't tell me… - I'm just…

preparing for the worst.

I want to know it, just in case.

What is the other way?

You said earlier that there was another way.

It's a shamanic method.

We have it, just in case.

FAITH GAS STATION

Mr. Yoon.

I gave you a place to sleep and paid you.

Look at you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Jeez.

A possessed person is trying to kill someone.

Who? Where is it?

Grab him!

- Call for backup. - Yes, sir.

He's telling us to go

to Park Il-do.

119 RESCUE TEAM

What happened?

It broke down out of nowhere.

This isn't good. They'll make a fuss.

What are you doing?

Hurry up and call another bus. Damn, this is annoying.

- What are you, a first-time driver? - I'm sorry.

Damn it.

Shit.

Come on, pick up the pace.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING WAY

You can't be here. Please leave.

- I'm a police officer. - Oh, I see.

What happened?

Everyone here is dead.

I have no idea how this happened.

Are they really all dead?

- Everyone? - It looked like it.

Everyone on the bus.

- We're too late. - Father Yang…

I mean, Park Il-do is making his violent escape.

- Did you call for backup? - Yes, I did.

- What about the suspect? - A village resident

said they saw the bus driver walking that way.

- Isn't that the bus driver? - Yes, that's him.

It's the suspect! Run!

They're pointing in the same direction.

He's talking to me.

I can tell.

Park Il-do wants me to go to him.

He's calling me.

What's over there?

The east.

And the sea.

POLICE

It's been a long time.

Has it been 20 years?

I haven't seen you since we used to volunteer together.

That's true.

A lot of time has passed.

What brings you here?

Have you returned to our diocese?

No, I'm just passing by.

Since everything started here,

I thought it was a fitting place for me.

I'm sorry?

By the way, who is the old man you brought?

He's the grandfather of someone I'm close to.

They'll come looking for him soon.

It seems your patient numbers have dropped quite a bit.

It's been very hard to keep it running.

We're operating at a loss.

So I put the nursing home up for sale.

I can't even volunteer nowadays because of that.

Director, Officer Oh is here to see you.

Officer Oh.

- What's up? - Hello.

I came to see my mom, and I have a question.

I see.

By the way, her bills are very overdue.

I'm sorry.

Did you hear about the kidnapping at the town hospital?

A kidnapping?

An old man was kidnapped from there.

- And it was a priest who did it. - Really?

What a bizarre thing to happen.

He's a priest who used to be at the church in our village.

Around 20 years ago.

Wait a minute.

What's that priest's name?

Right, his name is…

You.

Father.

DEOKNYEONG VILLAGE, GYEYANGJIN

- Are you okay? - Another murder?

No.

- I saw what Park Il-do saw. - Park Il-do?

Do you know where Park Il-do is?

Deoknyeong Village, by the Gyeyangjin shore.

Deoknyeong Village?

That's the village in Gyeyangjin that the priest mentioned.

Where he first started the volunteer group with Father Yang 20 years ago.

Contact that priest again.

Ask him for the addresses of the people who worked in that group.

What's going on with you?

Are you not feeling well?

Me?

I'm fine.

Take good care of yourself.

You need to stay healthy to support your sick mom.

I'm barely surviving.

Begging for money to pay medical bills

in this backwater dump.

What?

If this place closes down,

we'll have no way to make a living.

And my husband is just slacking off.

Why do I have to suffer like this?

Why me?

When did you get home?

Why are you standing there like that?

Anyway, how did it go?

The bank called again today.

It was a complete mess.

Money.

Money, money.

Money is all you talk about

when you see me.

Who are you?

Police.

I have a few questions for you.

You're working hard.

But I've never seen you around, Officer.

Or you, Father.

Twenty years ago,

you worked for a volunteer group here, didn't you?

With Father Yang Yun-mo.

Oh, I remember.

Have you seen Father Yang recently?

Not at all.

For 20 years,

I haven't seen him once.

Do you know anyone Father Yang might meet with?

I'm not sure.

I don't work with the volunteer group anymore.

Right, I understand.

I'm sorry.

Could I use your bathroom?

It's not a good time right now.

The Guest has come for him.

Who are you?

I'm a police officer. Are you hurt?

I think I was hit on the head.

My husband has never done this before.

Honey, help me.

These people are trying to kill me.

What are you doing to my husband?

Please go back into the room. Do you have children?

You met Father Yang, didn't you? Where?

Where is he right now?

You filthy bastards.

Filthy bastards!

Let's save this man first.

Can you perform the exorcism?

Yun, what's wrong?

Yun!

Lord.

Give me the strength to endure to the end.

Help me kill this demon

- and go to Your side. - Yun.

What's wrong?

Is it because of the prophecy?

The prophecy of the possessed?

You mean it's like a mental illness?

No. It makes no sense.

Not exactly,

but your husband isn't in his right mind.

You have to believe me.

You bitches suck me dry.

I'll kill you!

Do you know a priest named Yang Yun-mo?

Yes, he used to be a priest here.

Yes, that's right.

Did your husband mention meeting him yesterday?

It was today.

He said that the priest

brought an unconscious elderly patient earlier,

saying he was going to stay in our town.

Where does your husband work?

Seongrim Nursing Home.

A nursing home?

Where did they go?

- Did you call the police? - I did, earlier.

He scared me.

POLICE

Just tell me.

It's like the second prophecy about wounds appearing.

You'll be possessed by Park Il-do, just like Father Yang.

Just like your brother.

Yun.

I'll help you.

"When we meet for the first time,

you will suffer the pain of being stabbed every night."

"When we meet for the second time,

stab wounds will appear on your body, and your mind will rot."

"And when we meet for the third time…

you will die for certain."

Die?

You'll die if you perform an exorcism?

Is anyone home?

Is anyone there?

We got a call from this house.

It's okay. Come on out.

Is anyone inside?

- Open the door! - Wait a minute.

Something feels off.

Take the kids inside.

POLICE

Yun!

- Yun! - Wake up!

- What happened? - Are you okay?

What happened to that police officer?

We tied him and the director up for now.

We helped the director's family escape.

- Where are we going? - Father Yang is at the nursing home.

We have to find Father Yang.

A lot of people in this village are possessed.

They might kill the entire village.

SEONGRIM NURSING HOME

- I don't see anyone. - Let's split up and look.

If you find Father Yang, call right away.

Don't try to handle it alone, okay?

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Are you okay?

Wait here.

- Yun and I will find him. - I'm fine.

Just listen to me.

You'll collapse before we even find Father Yang.

We can't let Yun find him first.

What do you mean?

Performing an exorcism could kill him.

Even if we find Father Yang,

we can't let him perform an exorcism.

- What? - He heard the prophecy of the possessed.

Two out of three prophecies have come true.

And the last prophecy was…

that he would die if he performed an exorcism.

He'll die if he performs an exorcism?

Then how do we stop Park Il-do?

I told you, I know a way.

Let's find Father Yang first.

You saw the villagers.

We don't have time. They'll all die soon.

Listen to me carefully.

No matter what happens,

we have to save Yun.

He was the last person your mother saved.

You need to protect him to the end.

Why are you here?

Park Il-do.

What about the villagers?

Are you not going to save them?

Or can you not save them?

Is it because you fear the third prophecy?

Why possess the villagers?

Humans are truly weak and foolish.

Everyone has darkness in their heart.

By embracing that darkness, humans become demons.

What about you, Matthew?

I warned you not to get involved with Yoon Hwa-pyeong.

You see the darkness too, don't you?

You're being consumed by the darkness.

Father Yang…

Is Father Yang's spirit really gone?

Did the priest I've known all this time…

never even exist in the first place?

Why does that question…

even matter at this point?

The end…

has already begun.

POLICE

What? Officer Oh.

Who did this to you?

What happened?

Sir, are you okay?

Officer Oh.

Open your door and welcome me.

If you don't open the door, I will shatter your locks.

I'll slit your throat and gouge out your eyes.

I'll drink your blood and gorge on your innards.

I will sense the dead and consume the living.

The dead are above the living.

The end has begun.

The end.

Too many people are already possessed.

Let's find Father Yang first.

Did you take Grandpa hostage to lure us here and kill us?

All three of you survived 20 years ago.

Once you're in that trap, you can't escape it.

Your fates haven't changed.

It's an unbreakable curse.
