(All characters, places, institutions, incidents,)

(and organizations portrayed in this drama are fictitious.)

Hyung In, are you going home?

Yes, sir. I'll be off.

Hey, take this with you.

What is that?

It's maple water. My wife told me to give it to you.

Your wife's going through the tough stages of pregnancy.

She's probably aching all over.

The early stages of pregnancy are the most exhausting.

- Thank you, sir. - The squad chief...

also tells me to take good care of you.

Do you know someone high up in the CIA or something?

I'm joking.

Here. Gosh, it's heavy.

Goodness. Careful.

Hey.

You're home.

What are you doing with all the lights off?

Hey.

What's the matter? Did something happen?

- The squad chief... - Honey.

Can you sit down for a moment?

What is it?

Someone visited me today.

Who? We only just moved here.

A long time ago,

I used to be pretty close with two siblings...

who were being taken care of at One Family Welfare Center.

The brother came to see me.

Oh, really?

That means you guys met in a really long time.

- Yes. - Why did he visit you?

He told me he had always been curious about how I was doing.

He even told me that he knew I was married...

and that I had been living in Seoul...

before I recently moved here.

Also,

he told me...

that he knows...

how much...

I resent my father.

He knew that I was trying to run away...

from all the things that my dad had committed...

at the welfare center.

Really?

I don't know what to say.

But why did he show up out of the blue to tell you all that?

No, it wasn't out of the blue.

Honey.

Can I ask you something?

Promise me...

that you won't lie.

I promise.

Now talk to me.

After the car crash,

you really lost your memory, right?

What?

What are you saying?

You said you don't remember what you did in Seoul.

Can I believe that?

(Hometown: The Magazine Club Kids)

So she...

didn't die in vain.

She left a seed behind...

for me...

and the new beginning.

Do you get it?

It was me, not you.

I was her last man.

(Episode 8)

What on earth...

I must've fallen asleep.

It's late. Aren't you coming to bed?

You go ahead.

I'm going to bed, then.

Turn on the light. You're ruining your eyesight.

Who is that?

Shoot.

Honey! Stay in...

("Mom's Voice, Five Minutes a Day")

Hello, sir.

I can talk. I was awake.

Pardon?

What do you mean?

Just a moment.

- There he is! - Come on out!

Come outside and answer some questions.

- Come outside. - We see you in there.

Come out, will you?

Kim Hwan Kyu went all out with his story.

The photos of his scars are fake.

We didn't do this.

The media hasn't completely turned against us,

but if you ask if this is something we can get over unscathed,

the answer is no.

(Squad Chief Yang Won Taek)

I did this expecting some blowback.

If we'd known beforehand, we could've stalled for a few days.

The fact that we had no idea...

means Kim Hwan Kyu isn't doing this alone.

There's definitely someone behind him.

Let's take a break and cool down for about two weeks.

That's our best option.

Can't I have a few more days?

I already met Cho Kyung Ho.

Not any more.

We'll have blades at our throats soon.

You must know that yourself.

We'll only end up with more victims.

Why are you so thick-skulled?

What's wrong with you? This is work.

Why are you so emotional?

Why act out of character?

Darn it.

You know what to do.

I'm going out for a coffee.

I want everything sorted out by the time I'm back.

(Hyung In)

(Hyung In, Saju Apartment Block 103 Unit 704. Be quick.)

Sir. You have a visitor.

Oh my gosh. Did you find your way okay?

(Im In Gwan)

It was taken on the way out after the closing ceremony.

You don't remember, do you?

All of the teachers were crying.

You should've seen it.

They were so sad.

What garbage.

Pardon?

You know what One Family Welfare Center was...

to the children.

You're so cynical.

But then again, there were many fabrications...

regarding the welfare center.

How were that jerk and I...

able to leave that place?

You couldn't leave just because you wanted to.

Among the cafeteria workers at the time,

there was a kind-hearted couple.

Sadly, they didn't have children.

They adored you quite a lot.

Then they said they wanted to adopt you.

They were Jung Kyung Sook and her husband.

In a way,

you're with your mother now...

thanks to the welfare center bringing you together.

No.

I'm asking for the real reason...

my brother and I were able to escape from that place.

My gosh. I don't understand...

why the conversation is taking this turn.

I invited you here.

Why do you have more questions than I do?

That's not right.

That's unfair.

We're both busy people. Let's stop the nonsense...

and cut to the chase.

My request is simple.

Please stop it.

Stop going around with the school magazine from 1987...

and digging into the past.

I can't do that until I find Jae Young.

Is that right?

I knew you would say that.

Which was why I was thinking...

maybe we can do this.

I'll help you find your niece.

What do you mean?

But...

you're one of them.

My goodness.

Life isn't that simple.

That is why we're sitting together like this...

and discussing new opportunities.

What's going on?

- Granny. Come here. - What happened?

What's going on?

What is it?

May I help you?

Where are you from?

I'm...

Hello, Detective Choi.

I heard MIU just took off.

You got here quick.

Yes. I was in the area already.

- May I see inside? - Yes, go ahead.

- Come in. - How could this happen?

My gosh.

Was another team here already?

No. We just got here.

The crime scene was preserved perfectly.

Oh my gosh.

My goodness.

How could this be?

My gosh.

My gosh.

How could this happen?

My gosh.

Goodness.

I wonder why this happened.

I wonder the same thing.

There will be an incident very soon.

They're a bunch of freaks,

so I think it'll be big.

What kind of an incident?

I can't tell you the details. You understand, right?

Still, I should be able to tell you this much.

The end of the future.

That day is approaching.

They will reenact what happened on that day in 1987...

and only those who completed purifying themselves...

can be together on that day.

It is complete lunacy.

I can't explain what it is,

but it's a total, utter waste.

So what is it that you want to say?

So, I'm keeping a distance...

and watching those people.

But you keep doing stupid things and annoying me.

Looking at what has been happening,

I'm sure that person doesn't like it either.

That's why...

I plan to turn things upside down.

In order to do that, I need your help.

I will keep my word.

If you work with me,

Jae Young can go home for sure.

Do you understand?

How can I trust you?

Think hard...

about what is the most important to you right now.

If that's gone,

what use is everything else?

If it's hard,

it just breaks. Am I wrong?

I'm not here to say anything else.

You need to know why that happened to Kim Seung Dae.

Please leave. I don't want to hear it right now.

Professor.

Why are you suddenly doing this?

Do you really not know?

I saw the article about you today.

Do you really think I can still work with you?

I'll send you the interview material later on.

Please leave.

Why did you honk the horn? It hurt my ears.

It's giving me a headache.

The general manager too.

Why is he telling me to throw it out?

He doesn't even know what it is.

Hello? Ku Byung Min speaking.

Hello, Dr. An. Have you arrived?

I'll come to the parking lot.

- Pow! - Why won't you go easy on me?

You lost, so get out.

Next.

Nice. After one day?

I like your spirit. Come at me.

(Namgang Judo Center)

Come.

Hey. Wait a minute.

Come on.

You're so mean.

It's your fault you lost.

You kids really stink.

They're eating so well.

How many of them do you think are here because they like judo?

They were all dragged here by their parents...

and learning against their will.

Whenever I fill in for the master,

the kids get pizza.

Let's eat and go.

Pig will be here soon.

- You know, Tak. - Yes.

Shall we not go there today?

What? Why?

More than anything, one thing's becoming clearer.

That this is my business.

Something I should deal with myself.

That's what I keep thinking about.

Forget it.

Do you only think about yourself?

I also want to know!

I want to see for myself just what happened to me and us.

Is that so?

I completely lost my appetite.

Darn it.

Aren't you the one who said being honest is the best?

Then you can cause inconvenience to others.

Is anyone going to give you an award...

for suffering alone?

Gosh.

Eat up!

It's been a while since we last met, so let's shake hands.

For what?

Gosh, my arm's going to fall off.

Are you drinking less?

You look terrible.

Did you start drinking again?

I'm not drinking at all recently.

Honestly, I don't have any energy left to drink either.

That's a relief.

It's been more than ten years already.

Whenever you got drunk, you'd come here...

and tell me to open the chapel.

But when I do, you won't pray or do anything.

You'd just sit there spaced out then leave.

I'm sorry.

When I think about it now,

I've done something so nonsensical.

No, there were a lot of people like that...

besides you.

Turns out, all of them...

have lost their family in the 1987 terror attack.

Hyung In, you're going to stay the night, right?

The room you used to use is still the same.

No, there's even a heated mattress now,

and there are 2 or 3 more blankets.

It's as good as a hotel.

It's okay, I just stopped by.

No. Do stay the night.

It's fine, Hyung In.

It's fine.

You're here.

The person over here is Professor An Min Cheol.

He's working in the Department of Psychiatry in Saju Hospital.

Hello. I've heard a lot about you.

Okay, start.

Answer a few questions here.

Doctor An, let's start.

Answer us comfortably...

as you answer that.

Gosh, the new chief...

seems to be very interested in what we do.

If we follow the procedure, this will finish quickly.

Mr. Cho Kyung Ho.

I'll start with a few simple questions.

Are you taking any medications now?

For example, during your time in prison,

were you prescribed with tranquilizer or antidepressant...

and took it for a long time?

(In Remembrance of Saju Station Terror Attack)

Come to think of it,

tomorrow is the day your wife passed away.

Will you be holding the remembrance service tomorrow too?

Yes, I should.

Praying together with the families of the victims...

seems to be the most important thing in a year nowadays.

I don't really know.

Recently, I...

I totally forgot that tomorrow...

is the day my wife passed away for the past few days.

I dug around here and there full of anger,

but I ruined everything I laid my hands on.

There was another person...

like that recently.

You know Cho Jung Hyun, right?

She came here recently.

She begged for the church members' mercy and generosity.

But I told her...

to please leave this town.

I told her that's for everyone's good.

I don't regret what I said.

But I can't forget the face she made...

when she looked at me.

Are you saying...

that the person who's like me is you?

Please.

Wouldn't I still be better than you?

Hello.

Yes.

He's the one.

He's your roommate.

Both his parents were my church members,

and they were so diligent.

But according to that boy,

they suddenly became strange after watching a video.

Nowadays, the house is a complete mess,

so he's staying here.

A video?

Hey kid, which one tastes best?

Everything except chocolate tastes bad.

What?

Everything except chocolate tastes bad.

Is that so?

This ball...

is a tennis ball.

It's okay. A baseball ball is hard, so it hurts my hand.

How long did you use the glove that it's so worn out?

That's why your hand hurts.

I should've just tried job's tears tea.

I heard from the pastor.

Something happened in your house, no?

Can you show me that video?

- I heard you're a cop. - So far, yes.

Then I'll show it to you if you promise one thing.

A promise? What is it?

Don't take my mom and dad to the police station.

They didn't do anything wrong.

Okay, I promise.

Youngjin Cognitive Science Video.

- What's that? - I saw it.

People who came out of that car...

gave the video to my parents.

When do you want to go there?

- Where? - To Min Jae.

I don't know yet.

Actually, that's the only place...

which doesn't have anything in common.

Common?

What kind of commonality?

All the locations we've visited are all related to one person.

I told you about him before, right? Im In Gwan.

Yes.

Then it makes sense for him...

to suddenly appear in the mountain house.

I'm sure he's deeply related to Youngjingyo.

Youngjingyo must be supporting him...

for the local election as well.

Then shouldn't we go after him first?

Then we'll be able to discover something.

I need him to pay me for that time too.

Yong Tak, I've been thinking.

I have something to tell you.

Once we're done taking a look around the school...

I'm sorry to interrupt you guys,

but what's all this baggage?

Baggage? What are you talking about? They're just a bunch of clothes.

Something keeps moving inside.

What are you talking about, you punk?

No, I'm serious. Something really moved.

- Oh, my gosh! - Goodness!

Gosh, I almost had a heart attack.

Goodness, I almost hit her.

Moon Sook.

I promise I won't get in the way.

This is so unfair.

Auntie, will you please talk to him?

Auntie.

Pig, deal with her...

and wait outside.

Let me go.

You're pinching me.

- Gosh, stop. - I'll make sure...

not a single rat passes by.

Good.

Just go catch a rat! Let me go!

- Does that kid have to leave? - Get off me!

She's desperate to come with us.

We shouldn't get the kids involved.

It should just be us.

- What? - That's good to hear.

You just said, "us."

By the way, what did you want to say to me earlier in the car?

It's nothing urgent.

I'll tell you on our way back.

Mr. Cho, were you ever abused by your parents?

Then let me ask you this.

How was it back when you were at One Family Welfare Center?

Were you ever physically or mentally abused there?

This is the most important part.

I know it's bothersome, but please give us an answer.

How about...

I tell you something interesting?

What?

I've never told this to anyone.

Where I went...

on the morning of that day.

What?

What day are you talking about?

October 6, 1987.

I was standing in Saju Station wearing a gas mask.

Most people there were either unconscious due to the gas...

or throwing up.

I just stood there...

and watched.

But suddenly,

I got extremely angry.

I was so angry that it gave me a headache.

It was hard to bear.

So do you know where I went?

No.

Choi Hyung In.

I went to Detective Choi's house.

I went there to kill him.

I wanted to know what would happen if I did.

I felt like it would calm my anger too.

(Jinri Supermarket)

Is anyone home?

I don't think they're home.

The house is usually empty during the afternoon.

It's this room.

[VIU Ver] tvN E08 'Hometown' "The Magazine Club Kids" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

I guess my parents thought I'd never find it if they hid it here.

They must think I'm still in kindergarten or something.

Let's take it and leave.

Your parents might come soon.

No.

They always watch this when they come home.

If they find out it's gone, they'll come to the church and throw a fit.

Oh, wait.

Our VHS player is a bit old.

You need to do this to make it work.

When I arrived at Choi Hyung In's house,

the place felt like a huge coffin.

It was dark, cold, and solitary.

I was still wearing a gas mask, and I slowly entered the house...

with my shoes on.

The place had a few small rooms.

In one of the rooms, a dog was scratching the door.

I had seen that dog once before.

I headed straight to the bedroom.

The door was open,

and he was sleeping on the bed.

It reeked of alcohol.

It seemed as though he had fallen asleep...

as soon as he came home.

I just stood there...

and watched him sleep.

I don't think you should watch this.

Why not? Can you please let me watch?

My gosh.

Then can I at least stay with you in this room?

I'll stay beneath the blanket. Please.

Fine.

Instead, you need to promise me that you won't watch it.

Okay.

Get under the blanket.

(Director Im In Gwan)

Hey, who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

You darn punk!

Dad, he's not a bad person. I brought him here.

Dad, stop.

Stop it.

- Stop. - Get off me!

Cho Kyung Ho.

My name is Cho Kyung Ho.

Sir, stop!

You're going to kill my dad! Stop!

We need to get out of here.

Come on.

We all disappear tomorrow anyway!

Kim Hwan Kyu!

And you, next to him, you're just the same!

We all disappear tomorrow anyway!

Do you get it, fools?

We all disappear.

Don't worry. That won't happen.

Trust me.

Will you trust me?

Then suddenly...

I thought I shouldn't kill Choi Hyung In.

Why is that?

I thought...

the man lying before me looked pathetic.

Will you close the window?

- What did you say? - You.

Shut the window.

Listen, Mr. Cho!

The moment I decided not to kill Choi Hyung In,

I ended up seeing the beginning of everything,

as well as the end.

Do you know what I mean?

You live within a consciousness consisting of dots and lines.

I'm different.

I live within a consciousness...

that's circular, where everything is connected.

That's why when you people only go forward,

I'm always locked up,

watching it all.

What I'm saying is I can see...

the beginning and the end.

But fools who don't know anything are ruining it.

Believing they can do something.

They're trying to get their own way.

Was it 1987 when we came here with the Magazine Club?

Yes.

Then they left this building alone for over ten years.

How is that possible?

Did they leave it here on purpose?

On purpose? Who would do that?

People who wanted to leave behind secret spots.

Is this place connected to Im In Gwan too?

Yes. His daughter Im Se Yoon...

went to this school.

It'll be fine. Trust me.

I trust you.

What these people do really gives me the chills.

Darn it.

What's the matter with this?

Yong Tak. Take a look at this.

What is it?

What's our photo doing up here?

Why are our faces...

Yong Tak. There's a candle that was lit not long ago.

Someone else might be here.

Let's get out of here now.

Pig!

Pig! Do you not hear me?

- He must be far away. - I don't have cell service.

This is insane.

Let's find another way out.

Are these punks not going to show up today?

I really want to get back at them for last time.

I think we can get out through here.

Yong Tak!

We have to get out quick.

You go first.

No. You climb out first.

Yong Tak.

Get out of here now!

Yong Tak.

What are you doing?

Do you...

see over there?

Do you see...

a woman standing there?

What?

She's been looking at us for a while now.

What are you talking about? There's no one else.

Do you not see her?

Get out of there. We can talk about it later.

I think...

I'm possessed.

You're beginning...

to look like her.

What?

If I climb out of here, I think I might kill you.

What are you talking about?

Grab my hand, Yong Tak!

Put that way! Get away from me!

Don't you move.

I'm going to kill you today!

I'm not kidding.

I'm really going to kill you.

Tak!

Why are you doing this?

Jung Hyun.

Jung Hyun.

It was all a lie.

When I said I resented you all my life...

The truth is, when I heard that you were moving back here,

the thought...

of running into you by chance...

got me excited.

I felt like we went back to our school days.

That's why this is a shame.

Darn it. I should've told you sooner.

Please, don't do this.

I'm begging you.

It's fine, though.

I have no regrets now.

You...

You know me, right?

Yong Tak!

Yong Tak!

Yong Tak! No! Don't!

- Auntie! - Yong Tak!

Yong Tak!

Yong Tak!

I didn't understand the power either when I first learned of it.

Then I realized how foolish I was.

You simply have to believe.

That person has entered...

our bodies.

Professor Ku, I feel like...

I've been reborn.

Right.

It's a good thing.

Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I heard. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Look after him please.

Are you going somewhere?

I have to find something.

You'll come back, right?

I will. I promise.

- Hello, Chief. - Get to the driving range...

near Cheonyang High. It's there now.

Okay.

Hey.

Is everything ready?

Okay.

Guru will personally give the message.

Don't forget how big your role is.

How did that go?

Jung Hyun and Yong Tak.

Okay. So that's how it ended.

Say it again.

What happened?

Yong Tak died on the spot.

Jung Hyun escaped.

I see. Okay.

We're the only ones left now,

Min Jae.

That's right.

We're the only ones left now,

I'll do my best to finish it without any mistakes.

Okay.

That man, Choi Hyung In, will be here soon.

We have to start his purification.

(Youngjin Cognitive Science Video)

(Youngjin Cognitive Science Video)

October 6, 1987.

The time of purification following that day.

We will now greet a new era and a new world.

(Hometown)

That jerk played us again.

You need to bring me the answer that I want...

if we are to have a proper conversation.

Watch what happens going forward.

You must make this sound stop.

I'm ready.

Please stop.

Cho Kyung Ho will kill...

No.

It's me and no one else.
