1 Jin-hee.

You grow crops by yourself and run the store for your sister.

Isn't it tiring?

It's okay. I don't do it all the time.

I'm about to head home too.

Right, by the way,

Mr. Kim said your sister has gotten better and has been out and about.

Oh, yes.

She says she's suddenly fine again.

Still, she might suddenly get worse. You should take her to a doctor.

She keeps insisting that she won't go,

but I'm taking her tomorrow, no matter what.

It'd be great if she really is all better now.

Kyung-hee was like a mother to you and your brother.

Kang-woo, that punk.

He should come and help you.

That useless bastard. My goodness.

He said he'd earn money in Seoul to chip in for Kyung-hee's hospital bills.

Don't hold your breath. As if that fool will do that.

It must be hard for you on your own.

I'll get going now.

Okay. Goodbye, sir.

Bye.

Hello, Ki-seok.

It's Jin-hee.

Hi, Jin-hee. How are you?

So, what's up?

Well, the thing is,

have you spoken to Kang-woo recently?

No.

It's been a while since we lost touch.

- You don't know his number? - He hasn't called in a while.

Try sending him a DM.

A DM?

You know, that messenger.

Right. Does Kang-woo still use that?

I'm not sure if he still checks it, but he might see it later and call you.

Right.

Okay. Then I'll try that.

Okay, call me again anytime.

Okay, bye.

Merry!

What is it? What's wrong?

Who are you?

This is the pastor from my church.

The pastor who wouldn't let you see a doctor?

Merry, be quiet. What's gotten into you lately?

Sister Jin-hee,

your sister has told me so much about you.

He visited our home to pray for me.

Don't you think

a church should send a sick person to the hospital?

What good do prayers do?

Anyway, don't forget,

we're going to the hospital tomorrow.

You're getting an MRI, no matter what.

I do not need to go to the hospital.

Sister Jin-hee,

you shouldn't worry about your sister anymore.

- By the power of God... - Excuse me.

Whether she's really better or not,

we need to check.

- She doesn't need to go. - This doesn't concern you, Pastor.

We should get rid of her right now.

It might cause trouble if we do it here.

No one lives around this place.

Kyung-hee,

what are you saying?

Do you really want to know what is inside my head?

Merry, run!

Merry! No!

Help! Someone help me!

{n8}SEOL KANG-WOO FRIEND ON MESSENGER

KANG-WOO'S FRIEND KI-SEOK

The call cannot be connected. Please leave a...

Why the hell isn't he answering his phone?

IT'S ME KANG-WOO PICK UP YOUR PHONE, DICKHEAD

- Hello? - Why are you using Jin-hee's phone?

It's a long story.

Are you still in Cheonan?

No, I moved to Jinyang because of work.

Jinyang? Why did you move so far away?

Anyway, can I crash at your place for a few days?

When are you coming?

Right now. I should be there in two hours if I leave now.

CHOI YONG-JAE, CIVILIAN ARMY LEADER

I'm not home. I'm out taking care of something.

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

I'll text you my address and the passcode. Let yourself in.

Okay. Thanks, man.

Damn.

Hey.

Are you done changing?

We have to go.

Get yourself together, and let's go.

I said let's go.

UNIT 402, CHANGJIN STUDIO APT. CODE 0823

PARASYTE: THE GREY

Videos posted by eyewitnesses have already been going viral.

It's a shame this happened just before the Folk Music Festival.

It's causing us a lot of trouble.

I understand Namil-gun's situation.

But unlike other areas,

the parasites here work as an organization,

so a large-scale clean-up operation is inevitable.

If you give us more time, we can recapture Jeong Su-in.

What's Namil Police's position on this?

We are doing our best as well,

but we can't do that much since our job is to support Team Grey.

Well, for us, we're in a position

where we simply follow Captain Choi's orders.

So we can't operate as we see fit.

There's a limit to what we can do.

Listen, Captain Choi,

The transfer operation failed because you worked in a vacuum

without sharing any information like this.

It's time to inform the public

about the parasites, receive reports,

and work closely with the local police to eradicate the parasites.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

{n8}And what about the Korean Folk Music Festival?

{n8}It's not possible until we destroy the parasite organization.

{n8}Team Grey and the Namil Police will do their best

to eradicate it completely before the event takes place.

Do you think this festival is some kind of joke?

{n8}This festival is to celebrate

{n8}the opening of the Choi Yong-jae Memorial Hall!

You do know that he led the Battle of Cheonryongsan during the Korean War?

It's a tourist attraction that our district spent years developing.

Numerous merchants here make their living through this festival.

And you're telling us to cancel the festival

because of those so-called monsters?

{n8}What you're all saying is ridiculous.

{n8}Especially this year,

{n8}with a visit scheduled from the mayor of Namcheon.

I'm reporting this to him!

Sir, please calm down.

{n8}For now, we'll do our best.

{n8}This is our mayor's last year in office.

{n8}As you know, he's a key candidate for the next presidential election.

{n8}This year's festival is the last big occasion for him as mayor.

{n8}This is not something we can just cancel on a whim!

Captain Choi,

I'll give you three days.

Can you get it done?

- Yes, sir. - We don't have much time, so get to work.

It'll be a tough three days, but they say a crisis can turn into an opportunity.

Is it not a good thing, then?

You said humans like drama.

Hold on. Come this way.

You see,

when Jeong Su-in was captured,

her X-rays came back as normal.

How is this possible?

She is a mutant.

What does that mean?

I need to find out what kind of mutant she is.

The man who is accompanying the girl of our kin has been located.

That girl is a mutant mixed with a human.

Do you need support?

No.

She is very powerful.

I can handle her by myself.

Okay. Come to the meeting place when you are done.

Regardless of what she's doing,

we should get started with our business now, yeah?

Pastor.

No, I mean Captain. Look.

At a time like this, you should respond with a meaningful expression or something.

Why don't you try copying me? Come on.

A meaningful look.

Yeah, like that. Good. Smile wider.

Together with your eyes. Your eyes...

Damn it.

Right, it's over there.

Is this your friend's place?

He's more like a brother than a friend.

I'm like the reliable older brother. He's like the wimpy little brother.

Here. Unit 402.

Ki-seok was a weak little bastard, so he always got beaten up by other kids.

And I often saved him.

- That was nice of you. - What is this?

Is that really Ki-seok?

But why did we come here?

Hey, I'm exhausted too. Okay?

I want to rest and charge my phone.

And most importantly, we need money since we're on the run.

Hey, Ki-seok.

Yeah, I'm at your place.

Yeah.

On your way back,

withdraw like 1.5 million, no, bring 2 million won.

It's a long story.

I want to join a gym, okay?

Bring the money I asked for.

Hey, you should rest too.

When we get the money from Ki-seok,

let's run away to somewhere remote and lie low.

I'm not running away.

Why not?

You plan on fighting them?

I have to tell them.

Tell them what?

A lot of the cops are probably monsters.

Who will you tell?

That woman.

We have to make her trust us.

You've lost it.

This doesn't concern you, so you can run away or whatever.

You're driving me crazy.

Time is running out, everyone. You need to...

{n8}A clash broke out on a highway in Namil-gun yesterday

{n8}between the police and unidentified monstrous creatures.

{n8}As numerous citizens witnessed the scene,

{n8}videos of the incident are spreading rapidly

{n8}on social media and various online portals.

{n8}The police have issued a statement about the incident,

{n8}emphasizing that it will be resolved promptly.

{n8}Currently, the police know almost everything there is to know

{n8}about the reported monstrous creatures,

{n8}and are in the process of exterminating a significant number of them.

{n8}In order to minimize social chaos,

{n8}we'd been carrying out the operation in secret.

{n8}We apologize for that.

{n8}We are now switching our response strategy

{n8}to an open investigation.

{n8}We promise to eradicate them completely and permanently

{n8}through a large-scale clean-up operation

{n8}with the cooperation and information provided by the public.

Look at that.

How do we even know whether that cop is a monster or not?

So, what are you planning to tell them?

- We will look into it. - Confirming right now.

I'd like to confirm the location again.

May I please have your name?

Yes, understood.

Excuse me, Captain Choi.

May I help you?

We've received a report.

Something was sighted near the outskirts of Namil-gun.

I think it might be their hideout.

Reports are pouring in right now.

Was there any critical information worth our attention?

Has this information been made public too?

This information came in before the police announcement.

We sent in a team to investigate it.

Our team confirmed

that people are gathering in the warehouse with that symbol on its door.

It's been reported that about 20 people have gathered so far.

After withdrawing from Saejin Church,

it seems they've been using this place as their base.

I'm sure they know we're concentrating our efforts on Namil-gun.

So why wouldn't they leave this area?

They must have decided it would be better not to move rashly.

Yes, I agree.

Checkpoints and searches have been reinforced on major roads,

so that could be it.

Hiding right under our noses on purpose.

I doubt they're that savvy.

Captain Choi, they're more capable than you think.

They're quick learners who analyzed humanity

and then used a religious organization to stay off the radar.

I think you're underestimating them.

The governor of Namil-gun and the citizens

are calling for a swift resolution to the situation.

Please make your decision quickly.

Let's launch the clean-up operation at sunrise tomorrow.

It's none of my business.

Hello?

Jeong Su-in?

You're the woman who's trying to catch me, right?

So it is you, Su-in.

Where are you right now?

First, listen to me.

There are parasites among the police where you are.

Okay, sure.

Mr. Chul-min

and his detective partner are both parasites.

I see. But you know what?

We have this thing called a physical security exam.

You need to pass that exam to get an access card.

Whatever that is, you can just examine them again.

If what you're saying is true,

why don't you help me?

That will make things much easier.

In any case, you want to get rid of them too, right?

Why don't we meet up in person and talk?

Gukil Café in Shingwan-dong,

Jinyang-si.

You're listening, right?

Let me make myself clear.

I'm not running away, no matter what.

What the heck, man?

Look at the time. Why are you so late?

Hey.

What's going on?

What mess did you get yourself into this time?

I saved the world for a brief moment.

Anyway, thanks for this. I'll pay you back. Thank you.

Forget it, man.

By the way, you met with Jin-hee, right?

Jin-hee?

She called me out of the blue recently and asked for your number.

When was that?

About two weeks ago?

I'm not sure, but anyway, I hadn't heard from you either,

so I told her to send you a DM.

And I said you might check it later if she sent you a message.

MESSAGE SAVED, 15 DAYS AGO

{n8}SEND A MESSAGE TO SEOL KANG-WOO

DON'T COME HOME, NO MATTER...

DON'T COME HOME, NO MATTER

Do you know why you got betrayed by your gang and are on the run now?

Because you're a goddamn coward.

Right?

You said the monsters killed your little sister,

and your older sister became one.

Now Su-in, who saved your life, is about to die.

And you're running away?

Sure, that's who you are, a goddamn coward.

Fuck. I'm totally gonna get screwed.

What do you mean?

Hey, I need to go downtown. Let me borrow your car.

Welcome.

Did you happen to see a young woman here?

She looks like this.

Oh, she said she'd be waiting on the rooftop.

Excuse me. She said you have her wallet.

And that you'd pay for her coffee, 5,000 won.

Jeong Su-in!

Where are you?

Su-in!

Where are you?

Su-in!

Jeong Su-in!

What?

You thought I'd bring the police again?

I had to be prepared.

Smart move.

If you try to pull anything stupid, then Heidi will take over.

Heidi?

So, what you're trying to say is

that you're still a human right now.

And the parasite... No. What did you call it? Heidi?

So, you and that coexist. Is that it?

Simply put, yes.

Okay, sure.

What were you trying to say earlier?

It's exactly as you heard.

Mr. Chul-min and his detective partner are both parasites.

Let's say you can make that claim against Detective Kang.

But Detective Kim has tried to protect you until the very end.

So, why are you saying this now?

Mr. Chul-min...

died.

Right in front of my eyes.

What?

He was trying to protect me.

But the pastor Kang Won-seok brought along cut off his head.

And that bastard took over his body and is pretending to be him!

Why won't you believe me?

Actually, someone reported today that they found the parasites' hideout.

The two people you mentioned.

Detectives Kim and Kang insisted on a large-scale clean-up operation.

If what you're saying is true,

then that means they're impostors trying to sabotage our operations.

Why would they suggest such a thing?

It's obvious! It's a trap!

If you guys go there, you'll all be killed by them.

There's one way to find out.

You come with us.

"Us"?

If you're truly on our side,

you can come with us and find out if it's a trap or not, right?

We don't want any physical conflict either.

So, will you cooperate with us?

Can you convince Heidi?

If you can communicate with that.

Okay?

Get her!

Damn it! Jeong Su-in!

What was that?

Hey, it's me! Get in!

Split up and find her.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes.

Damn it. Where did she run off to?

Your friend

is doing something incredibly dangerous right now.

Tell her that it does not help in our survival at all.

Su-in is doing her damn best to survive right now.

I do not understand what you are saying.

Sure, to you guys, survival means just being alive and breathing, right?

But it's different for humans.

For humans,

survival means living among people.

But Su-in can't do anything right now.

So,

in order to survive,

she's trying to get more people to trust her.

That's the survival method she's chosen.

Even if that is the survival method she has chosen,

do not let her engage

in anything dangerous for the next three hours.

Why?

Since yesterday, I've taken over her consciousness for too long.

For at least the next three hours,

I have no choice but to be completely asleep.

No matter what happens, I will not be able to help.

- Okay. - I'm seriously warning you.

Do not engage in anything dangerous.

Then...

She always gets the last word.

After the police announcement

confirming the existence of monstrous creatures

known as parasites, which had only been believed to be rumors,

other related instances and videos that had been circulating on the internet...

What the hell?

...have been proven to be true.

Many citizens have been expressing their anxiety

on social media and various online portals

since the announcement was made.

My goodness.

In particular, some reports...

Seriously, even crazy stuff like this is happening.

Kang-woo?

If you wrecked my car, you're dead meat.

Kyung-hee?

Kang-woo went out.

What?

Good morning.

Hey, Heidi said she has no energy left and has to sleep for the next three hours,

so don't do anything dangerous for three hours.

Righteous defender, contain your enthusiasm a bit.

I'm almost there. Don't worry. I won't crash your car.

Hey, hurry up. Your sister is here.

- What? - He said he'll be back soon.

By the way, why don't you have a seat?

- Ki-seok, is she next to you? - Yes.

Listen. Just give her some excuse and get out of there.

What are you talking about?

Look, that's not my sister. Get out of there quickly.

What are you talking about? Just get your ass here quickly.

You are with our kin right now, right?

I will give you 15 minutes.

Bring my kin with you.

If you do not come in 15 minutes, your friend will be decapitated.

It's me they're after,

so let's go.

Didn't you hear what Heidi said?

She won't be able to do anything for three hours.

They won't know Heidi is asleep.

They'll just think I'm one of them.

They seem to sense each other through some kind of feeling.

They'll just think I'm one of them too.

What's your plan? What if they still kill you?

Right now, it's important for them to have more support on their side.

So I'll pretend to cooperate with them to buy us three hours.

Okay?

Are you just gonna let your friend die?

Come on, let's go.

I came as you asked.

Let the human go.

I am one of your kin.

I want to be on your side.

You are amusing.

I can barely feel your brain waves.

Are you asleep inside that human?

What?

I already know the police ran tests on you.

Our kin inside of that human...

can you still hear me even though you are asleep?

Although I am curious why you could not fully take over that human's brain,

you are a threat to our kin...

so I must kill you.

We do not need a mutant like you.

I heard you are quite powerful.

If you want to protect your host,

you need to fight me right now and win.

Get down!

Ki-seok, come out now!

Ki-seok!

Come on, get out quickly!

Ki-seok!

You idiot, what are you doing?

Hey! Let's go!

You're gonna get killed too!

Ki-seok!

Come on, we have to go!

Hurry!

Hey, get in!

I'm gonna kill them! I'll never forgive them!

We currently have four undercover teams monitoring the area around their hideout.

Our team is ready to go.

- Then we'll get ready to move out. - Okay.

When our strike team moves in, will you be joining us?

We will barricade the surrounding area and prepare for any contingencies.

Is there a problem?

No.

Let's go.

This will likely be Team Grey's last operation in our region.

Perhaps. I guess we'll have to see today's result.

Please go ahead first. I forgot something.

Nothing to note.

Captain Choi.

We've evacuated the area and started to close off the roads.

Oh, and we're ready to go too.

Okay. Please stand by.

- Which one is it this time? - Listen carefully.

The clean-up operation you're about to do,

it's a trap.

And who is this?

Is this Seol Kang-woo of the Mangnani Gang?

It is you.

Is Jeong Su-in with you?

Yes.

The clean-up operation is a trap, so stop it.

Okay, but the thing is, that's easier said than done.

The people of Namil-gun are serious about the Korean Folk Music Festival.

They all want the parasites quickly destroyed

so that they can proceed with the festival.

I know it's ridiculous.

What kind of bullshit is that?

Forget the festival. Do you all want to die?

I've already told you that you have monster cops.

Okay.

But you know, it turned out the detectives Jeong Su-in mentioned aren't parasites.

No way.

You sure you checked them both properly?

I didn't check them both.

But Detective Kang is definitely not a parasite.

What?

That bastard partner cop,

he's the one that killed your monster,

the one in the iron mask.

I saw him kill that monster with some strange iron knife.

Why did he use an iron knife?

Anyway, even if that detective isn't a monster,

he's definitely on their side.

Record this call starting now.

If this operation is a trap,

then I'll be killed once I go in there.

If that happens, take the recording

to the Superintendent General at the National Police Agency.

- We're ready to enter, ma'am. - Proceed.

Lead Group, enter!

Lead Group, moving to the strike point.

Entering now!

Target found!

Engage!

Push! Split!

Runner, nine o'clock!

- Terminated! - Look up!

All Grey units, enter the building and support the Lead Group.

Eliminate all threats in the way. Zero exceptions!

You may pass.

Go ahead and pass.

Hey, what are you doing?

There are too many people here.

Traditionally,

festivals are more fun when there are a lot of guests, okay?

No need to scare them off so soon.

Is this the emotion that...

humans call "betrayal"?

What are these bastards doing?

Kill confirmed.

All targets eliminated.

Did you hear that?

The clean-up operation was a success.

As far as I know,

you're the only parasite left in the region,

Jeong Su-in.

Damn it.

What is this? I really don't understand.

What about what we saw?

But the situation there...

How am I supposed to make sense of that? Why are they killing each other?

FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE OPENING CHOI YONG-JAE MEMORIAL HALL

As someone who got backstabbed hard by his own gang, I can tell you.

You said that monster switched over to your detective friend's body, right?

But what if

that monster isn't simply trying to take over another human brain

but the brain of someone who's the head of a human organization?

What?

He's going after the mayor's brain.
