Original subtitles

We're here.

Is anyone in there?

Why is it so quiet?

Is this the right place that was reported?

They said they heard a scream.

- Who? - The neighbors downstairs.

Yeah?

Wait, Miss!

Put that knife down.

I don't know what's going on,

but put it down first.

We can help you, okay?

I know you're also in it together.

You thought I wouldn't know?

Die!

Kun... dalini...

Your hand to the left.

Good.

Don't you think the model looks too old?

Well, she looks fine to me.

No!

Even her skin looks too dull.

Our main target is 20-something,

but this seems like the '70s or '80s.

- What about changing her dress? - What difference would it make

to change her clothes?

Hyo-jung, what's that look on your face?

- Bright face! - I'm sorry.

This model doesn't look fresh at all.

You shouldn't do this now.

It's not like she's a rookie model or something,

and it's too late...

I'd rather use a rookie.

Will you take responsibility if our market share drops?

Give us a moment, please.

Okay.

What a nut.

What does he even know about commercials?

Hyo-jung, I'm really sorry, but...

This client keeps complaining about using you.

You know how this business works.

I'll call you again with another job, okay?

Hello? Where are you now?

Are you available now?

I was not there at that time!

Chief is calling you.

Not again! Why? I'm goddamn busy now.

I have no idea.

Goddamn it.

Am I his punching bag or what?

You go take that case.

It's a homicide.

A woman killed an old couple next door

and attempted suicide.

It's your specialty, isn't it?

Come on, what specialty?

People might think

I'm Lieutenant Horatio from "CSI" or something.

Dammit.

You've got nothing to do at home these days, do you?

It must be nerve-racking

to be alone after the divorce.

Take a close look at it.

Go solve it.

First, as she's unconscious now,

try investigating people around her.

When she comes around, the hospital will call you.

Good,

this is the image we've been looking for.

Chic and urban...

We wouldn't have wasted time

if it had been her from the beginning.

You have such an excellent eye.

Yeah, it's the exact image that our company wanted.

I knew you'd like her.

Well, then, let's get ready to shoot.

Didn't you say you had an ad to shoot?

You have time for this?

Well... Um...

The client wanted to work with me, but...

I didn't like their products, so I turned it down.

You shouldn't have!

At our age, we should never think twice

and just do the work given to us.

Isn't it scary to see young girls catching up with us?

You look a little tired.

Did you go on another harsh diet for the shooting?

Do I?

It's not the shooting.

I can't sleep well these days because of nightmares.

I saw a doctor, but there's no change.

What? Nightmares?

I used to have them often when I was young.

Grandma told me to put a knife under my pillow, and I did so,

and I've never had one ever since!

Isn't it amazing?

You go try it too. It doesn't hurt to try.

It's from my experience.

What are you staring at?

What?

No, it's nothing.

Bend your legs to the right.

Then, inhale deeply with your hands to the ceiling.

Exhale and put your right hand on the floor.

Stretch your left hand.

And inhale.

Exhale with your left hand under the right armpit.

Roll up your spine. Two, one.

Excuse me.

Yes?

We met a few days ago, didn't we?

I don't know.

Don't you really know?

No.

Aren't you Lee Hyo-jung

from Dongsoong Girl's High School?

By the way,

you've changed a lot.

I hear that sometimes.

I should tag along with you to your beauty treatment.

Treatment?

Yeah,

whatever it is, plastic surgery or skincare.

So you also think I've gone through a huge plastic surgery?

What's wrong with that? Everyone's doing it.

What is it? A yoga studio?

It's not the kind of yoga studio that you already know.

The classes are really tough,

and it costs an arm and a leg.

But once the course is over,

you'll feel a definite change.

Are you trying to fool me after all these years?

What? Yoga?

If you don't want to tell me, then just say so.

You looked quite desperate on that day.

Come on, think about it again.

And I don't tell lies,

unlike you-know-who.

I think I need to have that treatment again.

I told you that you can't.

Just let me have it, please.

Gosh, I said no.

There's a huge side effect.

And there's a risk of skin damage.

Then...

is there anything I can get right now?

Whitening!

I need whitening care!

Let me have that at least, please.

For now,

there's no procedure that can be done on your face.

Just get a skin massage for today.

It's complimentary.

What happened?

Someone's dead again, I think.

The deep water here gets people

while swimming,

and some people even kill themselves here.

The last guest is on her way now.

Welcome. We were expecting you.

You're all here.

Thank you for coming a long way.

I'm Yoo-jin, who will lead you

to the world of Kundalini from today.

There,

you can read some rules to follow here.

Well, drinking and smoking are strictly prohibited.

And drugs, of course.

Not even coffee?

No.

Only the food and tea we prepare here can be consumed.

Cell phones aren't allowed,

as they hugely affect our training.

Then how do we communicate with the outside world?

You can do it only when we allow it

until the training's over.

Gosh, that's too intense.

If you don't like our rules,

you can leave anytime.

Then, our training starts at 5pm.

I'll see you then.

It doesn't look like a single woman's house.

- She worked at a hostess bar? - Yes.

I asked her neighbors,

and she had no interaction with the dead couple.

And nothing significant either.

He seems to be her boyfriend.

This is nonsense!

How can we not lose weight when we eat like a bird like this?

It's just a program

that makes you starve and lose weight.

Don't you think so?

Right.

I'm Kang Mi-yeon.

I'm Lee Hyo-jung.

Hi, I'm Kim Ji-won.

How did you all find out about this place?

I'm a mixed martial arts fighter,

and I came to lose weight.

We fighters also gotta be pretty

these days.

Wow, that's cool. A female martial arts fighter.

You look too young to be here.

- What's your reason? - Well, I just...

Are you here for a retreat or something?

We all came here to get prettier, right?

So let's stop with the icebreaking lines.

By any chance, aren't you actress Jung Ye-na?

I'm a big fan of yours.

By the way,

do you think we can really become prettier?

I just took a chance,

but I'm not sure.

Her talk about some Kundalini

kind of sounded like a scam.

In fact, I thought my friend

was trying to drag me into pyramid selling.

But she came to see me looking all pretty and slim.

I was so surprised

because even plastic surgery couldn't help her face.

We're always going to have this tea

before class.

Drink. It'll ease your mind.

Now, the training starts.

Only for Kundalini.

Excuse me.

You keep saying "Kundalini,"

but what is that?

All humans possess the energy of the universe.

It's just that they don't notice it.

In here, as if in a mother's womb,

you'll open the third eye

and witness its power

completing your beauty.

I will make it possible.

Um... Is that scientifically possible?

The soul and the universe, and their communion,

a power that science can never reach.

Don't doubt it.

Get rid of even the smallest doubt.

If not,

you'll never reach the level of Kundalini.

Never.

Close your eyes,

and let's start with breathing.

Excuse me.

Yes, go ahead.

I think I heard some strange noise

in my sleep last night.

I think you heard wrong.

So I opened my door just to be sure

and saw something that looked like a snake.

Again,

I think you mistook it,

but we'll go check anyway.

Do you have anything more to say?

No.

Hello, sweetie. Come on! So when am I getting my car?

You're sure this time?

Where?

That motel we went to last week?

Yeah, yeah, that place was fine.

Okay.

Damn, this wench is

trying to suck me up with that BMW.

- Mr. Min Chul-soo? - Yes?

You know this woman, right?

She's Bo-ra.

Did she get in trouble?

Are you two together?

Not really, it's just a business relationship.

Anyway, she's seriously bipolar.

A total nutcase.

We know that she is, too.

Just tell me more about her.

She used to be a popular bar girl

at a hostess bar in Gangnam.

She said she once made

tens of thousands of dollars a day...

- Only the point. - Okay.

But she was getting old,

and there came younger girls,

so she was seriously depressed.

Then one day,

she went somewhere for some yoga.

And my gosh,

she came back with her whole body transformed.

She lost so much weight, and her wrinkles were gone.

She came back looking pretty?

Yeah!

But the problem was,

she said she was seeing ghosts.

Something about snakes and Chakra, she said.

I got scared and stopped talking to her.

Sir, Jung Bo-ra just came around.

Next position.

Next position.

Now, bend over.

Slowly.

Excuse me. I can't focus.

We gotta be at similar levels!

Our gap is way too big, isn't it?

You can move on to the next position.

Your body's too stiff.

Relax.

Come to the training room at midnight, alone.

Move on to the next position.

So,

you mean you killed them because of yoga?

I did see it.

Saw what?

I had almost reached Kundalini,

but they were seeking my soul.

I mean, what can they possibly seek,

those oldies who couldn't even move properly?

Are you saying the old man sexually harassed you or what?

Kundalini

has nothing to do with your secular world.

Well, we have no choice.

As there's no more statement...

Let's just wrap up our report here.

I saw it!

I definitely saw it.

There are many snakes.

Are they gross?

What? Well... A little.

Snakes once symbolized wisdom and medicine,

but with time,

people became more prejudiced against them.

Facts were distorted.

It's tough, isn't it?

I'm just sorry

for being a burden to others.

Here, try this tea.

It's called Karma, and it'll help you relax.

Both physically and mentally.

It'll even help you open your eyes.

Well?

It's a bit bitter, but...

It's making me relaxed, I guess.

At first,

I also thought I was seeing things from a severe diet.

Yeah, whatever.

Let me just hear your story in detail.

What did you see?

A ghost.

Aha, a ghost.

I know you don't buy it,

but I really saw it.

It kept following me around

and whispering in my ears.

That whisper was seriously killing me.

The whisper that never stopped,

and those creepy sounds...

You'll never know

the fear and pain I went through.

I got courageous during my meditation.

"Let's not run away anymore.

Kundalini is around the corner."

This ghost haunting you

turned out to be your neighbors.

So you went there right away and killed them with a knife.

During a meditation.

Where on earth can I learn

that Kundalini thing?

Let me learn it, too.

Next position.

Next position.

What?

Stay focused!

Next position.

Look straight ahead

and breathe.

You seem to have gotten much better in a day.

What happened?

I'm not sure if you'll buy it.

I was meditating by myself in the training room last night.

Then suddenly, I was aroused.

And when the arousal reached its peak,

I kind of...

felt like overcoming my limit,

which I had never felt before.

Isn't it just that you were always good

but were hiding it so far?

Be honest.

Master said.

Kundalini comes from the purest mind.

I guess you'll never feel it.

Master?

What Master?

What are you doing here?

I...

This area is off-limits to outsiders.

Leave.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Please refrain from individual activities

after bedtime.

I'm sorry.

One, two! One! One!

One, two! One, two, three!

One, two, three! One, two, three, four!

Hook! Hook! Hook!

What is it? Get out!

It's okay. You can just enjoy it.

Focus on all of your inner energy.

You might feel the heat coming from the bottom.

Feel the heat,

focusing on the bell sound.

Slowly.

Good.

This is it for today. Well done.

Ji-won, just a moment.

It's quite serious.

You should see a doctor right away.

Why should I see a doctor?

You want me to leave here?

You're afraid I'll get prettier than you, aren't you?

No, I'm really worried.

Mind your own business.

You morons

have no idea what Kundalini is.

What's wrong with her? Is she nuts?

Are you okay?

It was really out of concern.

What's the world coming to?

A senior has to get coffee for a junior.

Then you can do all the search here.

Are you making fun of me for being computer-illiterate?

Nah, how could I dare do that?

- Look at you. - Sir.

The more I learn about Kundalini, the weirder it gets.

- What's weird? - Listen,

a snake that passes Chakra 5 near Adam's apple

will become a dragon,

and if it passes Chakra 6 between the eyebrows,

it will get a dragon ball,

and when it passes Chakra 7,

the trainee finally reaches the level of Saint.

What does that mean? -

It means, Kundalini is

the latent energy inside the human body,

which can be maximized through yoga and meditation

in a way you want.

Why does it have to be a snake?

Probably just a symbolic meaning.

Sir, I feel like this case

has something to do with a cult.

I was thinking of it, too.

From tomorrow,

go find out if there's anyone related to it

among people around the suspect.

Okay.

What a creep. He sure likes pretty girls.

I think I need to get out of here.

What's going on?

My dead friend...

visits me every night.

Would you believe it

if I told you it's a natural phenomenon?

What do you mean, a natural phenomenon?

It means your spiritual eye

to reach Kundalini is opening.

Then what?

You'll see another world, won't you?

Well, you can leave anytime.

This is not a prison.

But...

It's a big shame.

Such a spiritual event

could make you reach it for sure.

It's ready.

Okay.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Let's begin.

Push your hip forward

and lean backward.

Now, the arrow position.

As if your tiptoe and head were to meet,

stretch as much as possible.

Such a weakling.

Now, what?

Ma'am...

Yeah, Ji-won.

I'm here.

Why, what is it?

I'm... so cold...

You're cold?

So cold?

Hang in there.

If you do, you'll become really pretty.

Did you see Hyo-jung's skin?

Did she get some hydro injection from somewhere or what?

How can you say that now,

when someone's hurt?

This is a different issue.

I'm sure she did something.

Didn't you know?

I heard she's getting private treatment.

Skin repair for VVIP.

She said she was late today because of that.

You really didn't know, did you?

Don't you think we should go check on Ji-won?

Why were you late today?

Well...

I had some issues.

You mean the director gave you

special treatment?

Pardon?

I mean, look.

After spending time with her,

a newb becomes a yoga master,

and your skin turns super fair in just one day.

I'm sure you were all shocked.

I haven't told you until now

since this was too personal.

Ji-won is suffering from dystonia.

We just found a painkiller

with a narcotic substance in her bag.

Then,

how is Ji-won doing now?

Not to the extent that you should be concerned.

Well, let's wrap up today's lesson for now.

In 1962, it was designated as.

Natural Monument No. 98,

and its name, "Sagul," means a snake cave.

They used to sacrifice virgins

to the giant snake in Gimnyeong-Sagul Cave.

A yoga studio next to a snake cave.

I think her condition's getting worse.

And it seems like she's losing her mind, too.

Should I give her an extra-strength drug?

I've put her apart from the other trainees,

but I don't think she'll last long.

Let her live a few days with a strong one.

She must die naturally somewhere else.

There are seas everywhere.

I said it won't take long.

She's meditating now.

I'll tell her later on.

I'm Jung Ye-na!

- I wanna see her... - Please calm down first.

Hey, how dare you put your hand on me!

What's going on?

I want to talk to you,

but he says I can't.

Don't you know she's our VVIP?

I apologize.

- Leave us. - Yes.

What brought you here?

It's about Hyo-jung.

I saw you two yesterday.

Suddenly, her skin got so much fairer.

You know what I'm talking about.

Of course, I do.

You're our precious guest.

We've already prepared it for you.

Come to the training room at midnight.

A special treatment will be waiting for you.

There's such a thing?

But it has to be our own little secret.

Ye-na!

Ye-na, Ye-na!

Are you okay? Ye-na!

- I'll get other people. - No!

You don't need to wake them up.

I don't wanna make a fuss.

It's just that I fell asleep while meditating.

But still...

I'll be fine if I drink water and get some rest.

Please,

don't tell anyone what you saw today.

In the Chosun Dynasty,

a new judge named Seo-ryun was appointed,

and he killed a huge snake at Gimnyeong-Sagul Cave.

Then, a shaman told him

not to look back and run into the castle,

but suddenly, blood rain began to pour.

So he carelessly looked back...

And turned into a salt pillar?

That one is from the Bible.

Anyway, that snake's blood soared up high

and fell everywhere.

So, what happened to that judge?

He died.

I've got something to say.

I've been thinking, on that day in the training room...

Sorry to bother you, but I need your approval for this.

On that day, what?

No, no!

I was just too sensitive. I'm sorry...

Something's not right here.

I'm sure this place is cursed.

What do you mean by that?

Ever since that day,

I've been seeing a snake.

A snake?

A big snake. I know it's unbelievable.

But I'm not lying.

We gotta get out of here!

Maybe Ji-won has already died,

and that's why she's not around.

Ye-na, calm down first.

I saw it! I did see it!

Do you trust me?

You have to trust me.

I'm not lying.

I don't tell lies.

I don't tell lies, unlike you-know-who.

You thief!

It's mine! I bought it for myself!

Choi Ga-young, you filthy scum!

My dad bought me this for my birthday

from the department store.

Don't you try to fool me, you little thief.

I'm telling the truth.

Believe me, please.

Stop lying. You wanna die?

Give it back! And I don't tell lies.

This goddamn thief is pissing me off.

No!

You're nuts.

It's all because of you.

Who is it?

Mi-yeon, I'm Ji-won.

Ji-won, are you okay? Come on in.

What's wrong?

Gosh, you're burning up.

Let's go see a doctor now.

No!

Let's just stay here.

I'm scared. That snake will come again.

Snake?

There's no snake in here.

You should lie down first.

I'm so cold.

Okay, hold on.

No... I don't wanna do this yoga anymore.

What took you so long?

We were waiting.

Where are the others?

Their bodies have already reached Kundalini.

Hyo-jung,

now, you can get everything you want.

What was it that I really wanted?

The ultimate beauty.

That's what you wanted.

Why would I...

have wanted that?

You don't need to worry at all.

Kundalini will give you the answers to all your questions,

as well as true beauty.

I know you killed her, Ga-young.

How are you today?

Detective.

Did you capture the yoga trainer

that I told you about?

Well, I'd rather say that we found her

than captured her.

And Secretary Choi was killed

with a knife on your bed.

And that female staff

was stabbed to death in the kitchen.

How many times have I told you I didn't kill them?

That woman and Ga-young are behind all of it.

You said she was Choi Ga-young, right?

Right.

Once you capture her,

the truth will come out.

According to our investigation,

her name is Park Seo-hee, 27 years old.

Nothing but the fact she's a model matches your description.

I said that's not true.

This one is Ga-young, from Dongsoong Girl's High School!

Isn't this woman Choi Ga-young

from Dongsoong High School?

No.

I've never seen her before.

She's the real Choi Ga-young.

No way!

She's not Choi Ga-young!

This real Ga-young has

never met you after graduation.

Model Park Seo-hee said

she saw you at the photo studio.

She took your commercial.

She's the one who told me

about that yoga studio she went to.

That's Jung Bo-ra from your high school!

She's in the same situation as you.

There was a record of her meeting you,

right before she was arrested for murdering her neighbors.

She said she told you

about that yoga studio at that time.

It can't be.

This is your skin clinic treatment record, right?

You've been getting illegal procedures

with amphetamine

and taking sleeping pills consistently.

According to our expert,

if those two substances are mixed up,

it's highly likely that you'll hallucinate.

Your brain, which was messed up with drugs,

turned this 27-year-old model Park Seo-hee

into Ga-young, an imaginary person.

Then what about Kali,

that yoga studio?

Kali began to gain fame

for making girls pretty and slim in a short time,

and people like you

paid an arm and a leg for their lessons.

You've lost weight so fast,

but that's because you've been constantly

having tea containing a narcotic substance.

That's why

the trainees were seeing and hearing things,

and the studio has been covering it up,

calling it Kundalini.

They brewed tea from monkshood flower root

to prevent such side effects.

There's a saying

that its root eases brain diseases,

but it's a deadly poison

that can even cause death,

deadly enough to be used as

court's poison in the Chosun Dynasty.

Ms. Kim Ji-won died because of it.

So you mean,

my own hallucinations created the delusions?

You know there was a male staff, Secretary Choi.

This man you killed was the yoga trainer's lover,

and the other one was her husband.

The husband was arrested

and confessed to it all.

You want me to believe it now?

Would you believe it if it were you?

It can't be true.

There was someone trying to kill me.

It's true. It was self-defense.

There really was someone.

Someone was trying to kill me.

How is she?

She can't remember what she did at all.

I don't think she's acting.

Miss Lee Hyo-jung! Calm down!

Calm down!

Nurse! Nurse!

What's happening?

She's suddenly having a seizure.

My wrist hurts!

It's urgent.

Please take it off!

My wrist hurts so much. Please.

My wrist hurts so much.

What is it? What's going on?

Compression, gauze! Give me the gauze!

How is the office these days?

Well, it's all the same.

Chief's worried a lot about you.

What? He's worried a lot

but not calling me at all?

It's because we're all busy looking for that last trainee

of the yoga studio, okay?

By the way, when does your suspension end?

Don't ask, you idiot. I still gotta wait so damn long.

Anyway, where do you think the last trainee might be?

How would I even know? I'm not a psychic.

What? You can just enjoy it, too.

Kun... dal... li... ni...
