Original subtitles

Don't... Don't come near.

In Northern Europe during the Middle Ages,

there's a legend about how a person...

turns into a wolf during full moon...

and preys on livestock or humans.

When wolves cry, it's called howling.

Doing so allows the rest of the pack to know where it is.

Perhaps, werewolves howl...

because they yearn for the past.

EPISODE 1

There's a full moon today.

Whom do you miss the most?

This is "The Face I Miss" by Min Hae Kyung.

Many nights have passed

But I still long for you

Even though I shed tears of sorrow

You're still the face I miss

Two animal hospital workers were arrested...

for illegally burying 100t of medical waste...

in a mountain in Choweol-dong, Gangrim.

I am currently at the mountain where the medical waste...

was illegally buried.

Among the medical waste...

was IV fluid that was used four years ago.

There are concerns of a serious case...

of a secondary infection.

They committed this crime in order to save money.

Noh, the director of the hospital,

is currently being sought after by the police.

This is Park Dae Gi of HBS.

The Santa Kidnapping and Murder Case...

has still been in a fog for the past six months.

WARNING, RESTRICTED AREA

Where am I?

Is this the netherworld?

Why is smoke coming out from my body?

What is this wound?

What's wrong with my skin?

I feel no pain.

There's no sensation.

What's wrong...

with my face?

What is this sound?

I can't speak.

I can only make weird noises.

I don't remember anything.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

And...

where do I need to go?

EPISODE 1: THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN OUR TOWN

Stay still. The camera's shaking.

Are you still not done yet?

Isn't it strange?

Why are there girl's clothes when only a man lives there?

And that Christmas tree.

I'm positive he's Santa.

All right. Hurry up.

Darn it.

Please...

What's going on?

Darn it.

You crazy wench! If it gets aired on TV,

I'll throw you into the fiery pits!

You darn reporters!

"Reporters"?

Oh, I came here to cover an article regarding Fiery Sauna.

I think I found the wrong place.

You must have a daughter,

seeing how there are women's clothes.

I do.

Wait. That's a camera.

- What's wrong? - Run!

What is it? What?

Bite them.

- Time out. - Hurry up!

DEAD MEAT

Hurry!

- Darn it! - Run!

The car keys!

Right.

- Where are they? - I don't have them!

Why not?

Brace yourself.

Yes, sir.

I'll go this way. You, check the house.

Yes, sir.

Seon Ji!

Gong Seon Ji !

- Seon Ji! - Cha Do Hyun!

Over here! I'm over here!

Let go.

I said, let go. Let go!

Go away! Let go!

Seon Ji, are you in there?

Do Hyun, I'm in here! Do something!

Come here.

Come here. Good boy.

Come here. What a good boy.

Hurry up and come outside.

Hey, where's the producer?

The producer?

Detective Cha.

Gosh. You guys are just amazing.

Since the police are here,

I'll explain everything to the director myself.

There he is. There.

Is it him?

Yes, it's him.

He's Santa, isn't he?

I'm afraid he isn't.

Don't be ridiculous. It's him.

Look carefully.

The scar, the eyebrows,

and the mole next to his lips. It's definitely him.

Well...

He wasn't in the country on the day of the incident.

He wasn't? Are you sure?

- Yes. - Did we fail again?

How many times has it been?

I was really confident this time.

He may not be Santa,

but he's a child molester.

I've never lured anyone.

The kids visited me because they wanted to see my dog.

That's exactly why you're a criminal, you scumbag.

- Stand up. - Don't touch me.

Where in the world is he?

BEWARE OF WILD ANIMALS

I'm hungry.

Is that a rabbit?

Did I just eat...

a live rabbit?

I'm no longer...

a human.

I'd rather die than to live...

like this.

I can't die even though I want to.

I'm the living dead. A zombie.

How did I become a zombie?

Can I become a human again?

"Human"? You?

That's enough to make a cat laugh.

Detective, this is...

This is defamation of character.

I'm going to sue her for assault.

She gave an innocent man a bloody nose.

You're innocent?

Then is your ankle monitor an accessory?

Gosh, what a crazy woman.

Are you done talking?

What do you think?

What do you think?

- You're worth less than a dog. - Hey.

- Hey. - What's wrong with you?

You're worth less than a dog, so how could you raise one?

Hey! You better not raise any dogs from now on!

You scumbag!

GANGRIM POLICE STATION

My phone.

Right. The dog.

I'm sure something's going on.

It's either the apocalypse or a zombie virus.

I should go to the town first. I need to know what's going on.

I'm in such a rush, but why am I so slow?

Where did I put my clothes?

Go.

Go away.

I'm sure I heard it somewhere around here.

There's a human.

Why does she look normal?

Is someone there?

Darn it.

- I must retreat. - Excuse me. Who are you?

Why am I so darn slow?

Excuse me, but that's my hoodie.

Do you live around here?

Why is she flashing the light at me?

Sir, you can keep the hoodie.

But could you give me my phone that's in the pocket?

Pocket?

I'll take it out myself.

No.

What is this smell?

Where is this sweet smell coming from?

Hello?

Yes, I found it.

Let me call you back in a bit.

Sir.

- This is all that I have. - Darn it.

You should go to the sauna with this money.

Also...

Please get treated for your alcoholism.

It could be fatal, okay?

Here you go.

Okay, then. Goodbye.

Did I just try to eat a human being?

No way.

Is this the natural instinct of a zombie?

No.

I refuse to live as a flesh-eating zombie.

To prevent that from happening,

I should fill my stomach with something else.

A bird egg would be okay, right?

I'm sorry. I'll just have one.

Darn this zombie.

I've been starving for three days now.

When I become extremely famished,

I lose consciousness.

When I open my eyes once again,

I've consumed another sacrifice.

"Tripe Stew"?

What is this?

Tripe is the best.

Maybe I should quit...

and open a tripe restaurant.

Don't you think I'd do it well?

Where on earth is this Santa jerk?

I also have experience doing colonoscopy.

Do you know what's funny?

The more bad guys I find,

imitations keep coming out.

It's upsetting.

I should've been a cop.

If you did, you would've been fired in less than a month.

Did you have to pay any settlement money this time?

I did.

I begged to write the agreement..

and pay in three month instalment.

Three months?

Does your sister know?

She'd go crazy if she finds out.

In fact, I also lost the clothes.

They were my sister's.

Are you sure you lost it?

You probably gave it to someone.

I went to find my phone the other day,

and I saw an alcoholic.

He was walking with no shoes on.

Only if I had more money,

I would've given it to him.

I felt bad.

You're not the one to worry about him.

You haven't finished paying the settlement money from last time.

Be quiet. What if my sister...

You still haven't paid the settlement money from last month?

That's not it, Seon Young.

I told you to be quiet.

I'm going to kill you.

Is your job as a writer of "In-Depth 70 Minutes"...

beating people?

Why do you use your salary...

to pay the settlement money?

Seon Young. I'll pay it off soon.

I don't have much left.

Why don't you hit me?

You can make up for the living expenses...

with the settlement money.

Seon Young. What are you doing?

You're making Bo Ra feel uncomfortable.

Don't worry. We're like family.

Keep going, Seon Young.

If it's "In-Depth 70 Minutes", go in depth for only 70 minutes.

You keep tracking every day,

but you get paid like chicken feed.

Why report other places?

I'll report this broadcasting station!

Sorry.

WORLD KING AGENCY

I'll finish it soon.

Just give me a minute please.

What about kimchi?

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

Jjajangmyeon is best with kimchi, not pickled radish.

My boss told me to charge you for kimchi.

Why didn't he just order at kimchi jjigae place?

Give me the coupon.

Where in China are you from?

I'm from Yanbian.

Yanbian.

If I get to open a branch abroad,

I'm going to open it in Yanbian, China.

Do you even have customers?

I heard Moo Young Agency across the street...

is doing way better.

The word says Kim Moo Young is leaving Gangrim soon.

Once that happens, the only number one of Gangrim is...

me, Lee Seong Rok.

You can leave the empty bowl outside the door.

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

How much does Mr. Kang pay you?

I get the basic pay.

Then...

would you like to work with me?

No.

Yes, boss.

Why do you take forever to deliver jjajangmyeon?

If you're going to work like this, stop coming from tomorrow.

I hired you only because you begged me.

You should be thankful.

- There are so many people... - I quit.

desperate to work...

What have you done?

He should cherish his employees.

I can't believe he treats a bilingual...

like this.

That's very unfortunate.

If you work with me,

we won't be an employer and an employee,

but we'll work as a human to human.

Well...

I'll not only pay you basic salary, but also provide room and board.

Room and board?

In fact, if I open a branch in Yanbian,

I'll consider you as a branch manager.

You look like you could be a branch manager.

Yanbian branch manager?

I miss my mother in my hometown.

It's been over a year since I met my mother.

I don't mean to be rude,

but how old are you this year?

Boss. You may talk to me casually.

I turned 28 this year.

GANGRIM CHINESE RESTAURANT

What...

Are you serious?

Yes. I was born in 1992. I turned 28 this year.

You must've gone through so much in Korea.

What on earth is going on in Korea?

EXPRESS BUS TO BUSAN FROM SEOUL

KANGHO EXPRESS

The zombie virus is spreading here.

We must rush to Busan.

It's a zombie.

Stay right here. I'll finish it quick.

Be careful.

Watch your back.

WEEKEND MOVIE SPECIAL, "FAST TRAIN TO BUSAN"

I could finally understand them after I became a zombie.

Tell them. Say it.

Why can't you say that it hurts!

- It took a while. - Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Your hand...

HONEY

IT'S ME. I'M NOT A ZOMBIE.

IT'S OKAY. EVEN IF I BITE YOU, YOU WON'T GET INFECTED.

ALL MY TEETH ARE IMPLANTED.

What are you saying, you zombie?

You jerk. Hey.

Hey. Die.

Die.

Die!

You dirty zombie!

Humans were cruel.

So many zombies died...

without a word.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

CHOWEOL-DONG VILLAGE HALL, GANGRIM

That day I realized.

If I don't want to die unfairly in humans' hands,

I must walk like a human,

talk like a human,

and live like a human.

To protect myself from humans,

I must look like a human perfectly.

Even if the path is...

long and winding.

I must survive.

Peter...

Piper...

picked...

I want to return to a human!

Spring.

Summer.

Fall.

Winter.

And spring again.

A lot changed in a year.

The deity didn't betray my effort.

Even if I'm a zombie.
