"Statement of Marui LLC"

"In the summer of 2019, an empty van
was found near a temple in Busan."

"Owner of the van, Kim Su-chan
was filming a documentary at the time."

"The police have confiscated
footages found in his computer,"

"but thanks to property rights lawsuit,
his footages were returned."

"It was decided that his footages
would be edited and screened."

"Narrator heard in this documentary
is that of producer Kim Su-chan."

Tell us what you said
during dinner the other day.

Okay.

"Hong Eun-hee
31, News One, City Desk"

I'm Hong Eun-hee
from the city desk.

I do a lot of reporting
from the prosecutor's office.

Between prosecutors,
evidence videos that exhibit

extreme level of violence and gore

that can't be released to the public
are known as 'marui' tapes.

There is a rumor that these tapes
are locked away in their basement.

Among the marui tapes,
there are some that...

A murder took place in 1992
at an inn near Busan.

The inn clerk brought
his girlfriend and filmed her,

only to kill her
violently afterwards.

The video was said to be
so brutal that

it was sealed up
to stop it from being leaked.

But it was for an entirely
different reason

why it was so popular
among the prosecutors.

"Prof. Yoon Hyun-sik"
I remember

"61, Witnessed Video as Prosecutor"
We all watched it

because it was said to be possessed.

Something odd was filmed.

Someone appears
in the mirror and disappears.

It looked like a face
of a young man.

It was a hazy image,
at an impossible angle.

As students, we wore
black uniforms and hats.

The image had a similar look.

"Busan Metro Police
Evidence Storage"

Could we find the tape?

We confirmed the tape's existence
at the police evidence storage.

"Video tape (8mm)"

"Busan Prosector's Office"

When you go down,

the ceiling will be black,
as if filled with molds.

Bloody pants, knives and
others are stored there.

"Restricted Area
Authorized Personnel Only"

I guess energy from those
rotted out the ceiling.

It's eerie staring at it.

"Photos of Evidence Storage,
circa 2001"

It was hard to believe that

the ceiling went black due to
objects of the deceased.

Evidence from closed cases
are destroyed after 20 years.

But protocols aren't always followed.

We tend to destroy them
when we move or clean.

Shredders are called in
to shred or burn them.

"On-site shredding service"

"Specialized in security document
and hard drive shredding"

Who are you?

We did whatever we can do
to find the tape,

but it was likely to have been
destroyed a long ago.

Su-chan, check this out.

I wanted to pass it off
as an urban legend.

But this story refused to
leave my mind,

and we decided to
make a documentary.

But...

no one could have known
where we'd end up.

"Marui Video"

"Busan District Court"

"Busan High Court Murder Case"

The prosecutor in charge died
from a chronic disease.

He retired as a lawyer
and died in his mother's home.

Could there be any files
relating to the case?

We asked about
the inn murder case tape.

Those are things my son
used to use...

I see.

"The Inn Murder Case"

"The Inn Murder Case 1992"

"Copy of The Inn Murder Tape"

The primary detective obtained
the tape and tried to make a copy,

but for some reason,
it couldn't be copied.

"Recording of
the Inn Murder Tape"

He ended up filming
the TV screen,

and recorded a playback
for evidence submission.

In the tape, you could hear
the detectives chatting.

What could the recorded
image of the man be?

- Did you eat?
- Yeah.

Is that the camcorder?

What's that? In the mirror.

Why was this man
recorded in the tape?

"Suspect: Park Sungjun"
I couldn't help it.

""No memory about the murder""

My animal instinct said
it was kill or be killed.

"1992 Inn Murder Case
Crime Scene Recreation"

The killer claimed innocence
with temporary insanity.

A year before his probation
for his life sentence,

he killed himself in his cell.

We tried to interview
family of the victim,

but they rejected our requests.

They did not want to
bring back painful memories.

"Dongsungjang Inn"

The inn was abandoned
for a while,

but it's now used as long term
housing for day laborers.

The laborers refused to use
the crime scene room.

Furniture and objects from
the murder were left intact.

The mysterious mirror
was also still there.

Where are you going?

Have you heard anything
about a murder here?

Could anyone know
about the mirror man?

We heard there was
a murder upstairs...

We asked the tenants
and neighbors about it,

but no one knew about him.

Then we heard a rumor about
the inn owner from a laborer.

He had a misfortune
at his old neighborhood.

His bad luck led him to this place.

"Lee Nam-hee/74, Real Estate Broker"
He had a home in Ami district.

Ami used to be a cemetery

for Japanese people
during the colonization.

I heard some people
died in his old home.

He was left alone after that,

and he sold the derelict house,
and bought the inn here.

- Derelict house?
- Yes.

What do you mean
by people dying in the house?

I'm not 100% sure,
but a few people died.

Where is the inn owner now?

Now?

He lives in the penthouse of that building.

- The inn building?
- Yes.

"Busan International Daily"

"Busan Ami Family Massacre"

"Son, Cho Kyung-ho"

"17-year old son mercilessly
kills mother and sister"

"Son commits suicide
on the scene"

"Family killed on Children's Day, 1987"

"Back of Dongsungjang Inn"

"Cho Yong-tae/70, Inn Landlord"
Is it true that

you sold a house in Ami
before moving here?

Yes, there was
an unfortunate incident.

The boy living there killed
his mom and sister,

before setting himself on fire.

It was a terrible thing.

What kind of a boy was he?

He wasn't normal.

He never listened, only read books,

he fought with his mom a lot,
everyday was a struggle.

There wasn't a father?

No, he died long before
this incident took place.

How did you come to
own the house?

I took care of the house,
and did chores for them.

After the incident, there weren't
anyone to inherit the house,

so I ended up with it.

How were you related
to the family?

A distant relative.

After returning from the Vietnam war,
the father frequented welfare center,

but he had died before
the disaster struck.

After the incident,
the house was abandoned,

until it was inherited
to Cho Yong-tae.

Could the man in the mirror
be the deceased son?

"Ami Derelict House"

"The kitchen where Cho Kyung-ho
committed suicide"

"Cho Kyung-ho's room"

As students, we wore
black uniforms and hats.

The image had a similar look.

Why is the boy's soul
still drifting around the inn?

The neighbors called it
a ghost house.

Some witnessed a ghost
in the front yard at night,

and others heard a girl crying.

While we were researching,
we heard a strange rumor.

It was captured on tape...

It was a weird sound...

"Yoon Hyun-sook/41, Ami Resident"
At the time, camcorders were all the rage.

We filmed my kids all over town,

and when we played it back,
we heard a weird noise.

Someone calling for someone.

It was eerie.

That house was in
the background of the shot.

It's an infamous house.

And my kid became sick
that very night.

Do you still have the tape?

No, we don't have it.

It felt weird to keep it,
so we threw it out.

Then we received a call from
deceased Cho Eun-mi's friend.

Hi, I'm Kim Hyun-jung
from Ami Elementary School.

"Kim Hyun-jung/40, Cho Eun-mi's Friend"
I was in her first grade class.

We played at her house,

we also took
piano lessons together.

I came across a photo
long after she died,

and only she was looking away.

It was scary, as if
she knew her fate.

It was frightening.

Hi, I'm Cho Eun-mi
from Ami Elementary School.

When I grow up
I want to be a teacher.

I want to be a good teacher.

The reason why I want to...

I went over frequently,
and she came over often too.

I was there only a few days
before the incident,

I think it was her birthday.

A few classmates went
to play at her home.

But her mother and father
were fighting,

so we were kicked out
and ended up in my house.

- Her father?
- Yes.

We heard that she didn't
have a father.

No, she definitely had a father.

Eun-mi called him 'father'.

Father was said to have died
before the incident.

Then who was the man
she called 'father'?

We managed to find

"Lim Geum-hee/79, Ami Murder Witness"
the only living witness.

But due to her ailing condition,
we couldn't talk to her.

"May 8, 1987: Witness Interview
Concerning Ami Murder Case"

"Voice of Lim Geum-hee
(Neighbor, 47 at the time)"

I owed some money to Mrs. Moon.

I was supposed to
pay it back that day.

Since I couldn't, so I thought
I should tell her in person...

I kept knocking but no answer,
so I went in...

There was blood everywhere,
and was filled with burning smell,

so I ran out of there.

"Park Ok-chul/55, Lim's Daughter-in-Law"
She told me the story after I got married.

She didn't want to bring it up,
she was too scared.

It was said that
the son killed the family,

but there was a rumor that
someone else was the killer.

The mother had a man.

After the incident,
the man disappeared,

so a lot of suspicion fell on him.

Do you know what
happened to that man?

He's said to be a vagrant,

or that he's running
an inn somewhere.

An inn?

Inn or something.

In a testimony
of the murder case,

"The Ami Murder Case Testimony"
we found a trace of the inn owner.

"Cho Yong-tae"

"The Cho Yong-tae Interview"
A distant relative.

Why did he introduce
himself as a distant relative?

Your call cannot be connected...

We kept requesting an interview,
but he refused.

"Choi Yoo-cheol/58, Detective in Charge"
It was horrifying

I can never forget it.

It wrapped up quickly
because there was a witness.

"Main Room - Mother, Daughter"
The son had a mental illness,

and committed suicide.

(Kitchen - Son)
He was said to have set himself on fire.

I remember the charred body.

Was there a man
the children called 'father'?

That's half right
and half false.

He was a father to the daughter,

and not to the son.

They didn't have
a father for a long time,

so the brother came by
to be a father figure,

and looked after the house.

So naturally he became
close with his sister-in-law.

Cho Yong-tae took his brother's place
and became man of the house.

And a girl, Eun-mi was born
between them,

Cho moved into the house

"Cho Yong-tae/Uncle (38 at the time)"
afte she was born.

Is it possible that
Cho is the perpetrator?

We too found him suspicious
because of the circumstances,

so we thought maybe
he did it for money, but no.

Cho owned a cold storage
at the port,

and was quite well off.

The house was under his name
and insurances were clean too.

Even so, why'd he
kill his own daughter?

Those are all rumors
made up by gossipers.

"Land Register"

"Western Busan Ami District"

The house was purchased
by Cho in 1980,

and the ownership was transferred

"Cho Yong-tae"
to City of Busan in 1982.

This was purchased in 1980...

Ami was used as
a Japanese cemetery,

and refugees built shacks there
during the Korean War.

As part of Busan's
historic preservation program,

the city attempted to
buy up the district,

but Cho refused the proposal,

and transferred the ownership
after a long legal battle.

Development has halted in the area,
so it has retained its history.

Your call cannot be connected...

"May 8, 1987:
Recording of the Suspect"

"Voice of Cho Yong-tae
(38 at the time)"

Name.

State your name.

It's Cho Yong-tae.

National ID number.

I don't know,

I don't remember.

You don't remember
your own ID number?

When did you start
living with Mrs. Moon?

Since... the girl was born.

What was your relationship like?

What?

We received a report that
you and Mrs. Moon fought often.

When did you hurt your hand?

Not long ago, I tripped.

"Dongsungjang Inn"

I tried several times,
but I always get an error here.

Other tapes are fine,
just this one.

So I digitized the footage
and imported here...

There is a weird sound
coming from the error.

It's this one.

Father...

...when we played it back,
we heard a weird noise.

Someone calling for someone.

It was eerie.

The sound from the inn
has a consistent tone.

The space where the detectives...

It was unlikely that we'd
scientifically verify the sound.

"Past Footages"

A while ago, the camera crew
found something at the house.

There were traces of shamanism
at the derelict house.

We found out that a new shamaness
who moved into the neighborhood

performed a ritual there.

What about the house?

Why are you asking?

We heard that you
performed a ritual there.

How did you hurt your hand?

What are you doing now?

What are you shooting?

"Past Footages"

After visiting the house,
weird things started happening.

"Ha Ryung-ju 48, Shamaness"

Who's that woman?

The one looking at the photo.

She's a reporter we work with.

Why did she touch
the haunted photo?

Where is she?

She's in the hospital.

She caught the flu...

She suggested that
we visit the derelict house.

It's here, what happened here?

Cho Kyung-ho, the son,
committed suicide here.

The kitchen ceiling looked
similar to the evidence storage.

It's you, the one
in the front yard.

Why are you hiding there?

Something's there?

What's that smell?

That burning smell.

Don't want to talk?

Come here, come talk to me.

You have to tell me.

Why are you there?

Who's that man beside you?

I think it's from outside.

I think it was from outside.

Someone nailed it from outside.

We should've stopped
investigating then.

2019/05/01_SecurityCam Recordings

An unexpected question swerved
the direction of the doc,

and we uncovered the truth
behind the family in the tape.

When he called out 'father',

what if the son was
calling for his real father?

The Vietnam vet who died
in the nursing home.

Even if Cho was man
of the house for a long time,

he's still an uncle to the boy.

Isn't it weird that
he'd call his uncle...

'father'?

Father...

"Witness Lim Geum-hee's Daughter-in-Law"
I remember that clearly.

It was memorable,
so I remember that.

My mother said
the boy was very loyal.

Since the uncle was
man of the house,

took care of them
and close to the mother,

so the son could've
called him father.

But he never once did.

We began searching for
traces of the real father,

who supposedly died
in a nursing home.

"... life in the welfare center..."

Nuri Welfare Center

"Welcome to Nuri Welfare Center"

"Site of Nuri Welfare Center"

This place closed down
over 30 years ago.

"Social Work Department"
It was founded in 1973,

and closed down in 1987.

Director of the center was
arrested for embezzlement,

and the center closed down.

This is the list of members.

"Kim Jin-hyuk
44, Busan Social Worker"

Here it is.

"MS"

'MS'?

It's short for 'Missing'.

His whereabouts were unknown
at the time of closure.

So could it mean that
he may still be alive?

That's very unlikely,
but it's possible.

"Deceased"

"Cho Byung-sun Father"

Thank god.

The alarm went off
so I came to check it out.

Fortunately, the servers are okay.

Is this thinner bottle?

I think it was arson.

It could've been bad
if it wasn't for the guard.

What do you mean same birthday?

I thought it was weird too,

maybe it was manipulated...

If you look here...

Cho Byung-sun's
birthday is July 23.

Cho Yong-tae is also July 23.

Same birthdays.

While looking for the son's
biological father,

we came across a story
of his father.

"Kim Chae-gyun/60, Prosecutor"
I was working pretty hard at the time.

I went to the ER
after a car accident one day.

Laying in ER, I heard
some commotion.

I saw about 6 people
rushed into the ER.

They were covered in
cuts and bruises.

One of them was black all over.

It looked like a burn mark.

So I looked carefully
and saw bruises.

All of them were from
the welfare center.

So I started digging,

and found crimes of
incarceration, assault,

neglect and even embezzlement.

Cho Byung-sun...

Is this Cho Byung-sun?

That's what it says on top,
so I guess so.

It looks like Cho Young-tae, no?

"MISSING Cho Byung-sun"

"This patient suffers
from mental illness..."

She's standing over there.

She started talking weird.

She mentioned a whale,

and kept blabbering on,
so I thought she was drunk.

I was worried so I got home
but she wasn't here.

You know she's
never been like this.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes.

It's the derelict house village.

I kept hearing a crying sound,
the red door there.

Eun-hee?

Eun-hee.

Turn the camera off.

I have to find something...

What's that smell?

You don't smell it?

I can smell it.

It's looking for something.

It won't leave her
until it finds it.

It has to be exorcised soon.

"Site of Former Ami Playground"

It's too hot to wear it...

Who are you?

Who are you?

What are you doing there?

You poor thing,

poor thing...

So much resentment...

Can't even go to the afterlife...

Who're you waiting for
in the front yard?

It's okay, it's okay.

I know, I understand.

Everything's okay.

Cry, go on.

Let it all out until you
untie the knot in your heart.

There it is, look.

Don't you smell
something burning?

Where?

You have to tell me!

Hot! Hot!

I'm burning to death!

Do something!

Hold her!

It's too hot, it hurts!

It hurts so much!

Tell me what's wrong!

I'm burning to death!

Look over there.

It's not hot anymore, right?

I granted your wish,
so return the favor.

Who did this to you?

Tell me.

Your mom Moon Eun-ok!

Your sister Cho Eun-mi!

And you, Cho Kyung-ho!

Who did this to you?!

Good, good...

Let's see what you're after.

Hey.

Eun-hee.

Cho Byung-sun.

Taken to the facility in 1975,
released in 1987.

He spent almost 15 years there.

The facility closed down
with the director's arrest,

so it happened after his release.

Cho was one of the perpetrators,

and during the fight inside,
he got a bad burn on his right hand.

May 4th, Father Came Home

May 3rd, Cho Byung-sun's Release

May 5th, The Cho Family Massacred

Cho Yong-tae's twin brother,
Cho Byung-sun.

He was the father
of Cho Kyung-ho.

When his entire family
perished upon his release,

he was there.

Name.

State your name.

It's Cho Yong-tae.

National ID number.

I don't know,

I don't remember.

You don't remember your own ID?

When did you start
living with Mrs. Moon?

Since... the girl was born.

When did you hurt your hand?

Not long ago, I tripped.

We found Cho Byung-sun
from our old footages.

Did the son's soul appear here

because it wanted to tell the world
that his father killed his family?

Did he hear his son calling?

"The following found footages
have been edited by Marui LLC."

"May 4, 2019
A Day Before the Incident"

I think I got a notification
because of the cat.

What happened?

Eun-hee? Hong Eun-hee?

Eun-hee?

- Su-chan.
- You okay?

Remember watching
that film at the theater?

Which theater?

That man riding the bicycle.

He wanted to buy a red house,
and went to catch the whale.

What was it called?

You don't remember?

Stay home,

we'll come over.

What's that smell?

I think I smell
something burning.

That short guy said he was going to that
girl and wanted to buy a red house.

Did he get dumped by a girl
he liked?

He went to see that girl several times,

but why did his father
say he couldn't remember?

What was it called?

You don't remember?

Father watched it
over and over again...

Someone's here...

Someone...

Someone's definitely here,
someone's here!

Someone's here!

I think someone's here!

Take the camera.

"The Inn Murder Case
Original Video"

Sir.

She definitely left the building.

When was the inn murder?

I think...

It was Children's Day,

so May 5, 1992, right?

Tomorrow's Children's Day.

It's past midnight, so it's now.

Where was the suspect arrested?

Where are you going?

That man riding the bicycle.

He wanted to buy a red house,

and went to catch the whale.

What was it called?

Father watched it
over and over again.

You don't remember?

A man suspected of
killing his girlfriend

at an inn near Busan,

was captured at
this prayer temple.

It's been 4 hours
since the murder took place,

the police's rapid action
was instrumental in...

What's that?

Please help me...

Over there.

Han-sung...

Han-sung.

Han-sung...

Father...

Father...

Why are you here?

Why the hell are you here?

Father...

Do you know how long
I waited for you?

I waited everyday for you
in the front yard.

So why did you do it?

To me...

Why did you do that to us?

How could you, just how...

Right under my nose...

Father

let's end this...

To verify and uncover
crimes committed at this house...

"Remains of Cho Yong-tae
was found under the stairs."

"Cho Byung-sun killed
his entire family,"

"and presumably
stored his twin's body there."

"Some time later, his body
was found near the temple."

"Cho was said to have visited
his son's shrine every year."

No! It's not!

"The female reporter was arrested
for killing 2 of her colleagues,"

"but she claims that she doesn't
remember anything from the incident."

"Meanwhile, the police are searching for
