♫ I still wonder why ♫

♫ Tell me why ♫

♫ I don't want to let go of your memories? ♫

[Joo Won]

[Kwon Na Ra]

[Yoo In Soo]

[Eum Moon Suk]

♫ You hear me, Why am I calling your name today again? ♫

[The Midnight Studio]

[Characters, incidents, organizations, and backdrops in this drama are fictitious. The child actors and animals were filmed safely under the guardian supervision.]

Why are you giving me this?

Did you forget the 50th-day tradition?

The 50th day is still far away.

I'm just suggesting preparing in advance.

You said to go to the Pitcairn Islands together.

You wanted to live together there. Why are we taking this now?

Don't you know this is for the funeral?

You never know what would happen in life.

Hey, I'm letting you do this because I trust you the most.

Seriously.

Okay. Take a good one. I'll check.

By chance, by a very slim chance, if you die,

you have to come back to the studio.

Promise me now.

The photographer can't come back.

The studio is for the people who died.

The photographer lives using the power of the camera.

So he's neither alive nor dead.

So, no matter how badly you want to, you can't open the gate of the dead.

Hey, you'd better take a good one.

Think of it as the last one.

What do you think? Does it look good?

I don't know. It doesn't work. I think it broke.

What do you mean it broke? There's no way.

I just got it yesterday. It's brand new.

Return it, then.

I don't like it, Uncle.

That little...

[Missing person - Seo Ki Won, male, 35 years old]

Do this and...

do it like this.

- And... - Excuse me.

♫ The glittering raindrops are falling and caressing me ♫

♫ They embrace me warmly as if I'm dreaming ♫

Well, Bom, you're a very impressive person.

You get involved in someone else's life plans.

I tried not to leave anything behind.

See? I told you not to be so sure.

Life doesn't go as you plan.

You probably don't know how difficult it was

for me to make the decision.

I'll take a good one for you. Go have a seat.

♫ I feel like I can do anything on the days we meet ♫

I'll take it now.

One, two, three.

W-What did you press, exactly?

Well, I just did what you told me to do.

Why don't we just check?

Hold on.

I...

d-don't want to take photos.

I don't need them.

W-Why?

You said it's a tradition to get photos taken.

You're worried I took bad ones, right?

- Let's check. - Well...

- It's okay. - Why don't we just check?

- It's okay. - Why? Well...

- Let's just check. - I said it's okay-

Mr. Seo, you're a player, aren't you?

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

W-What do you mean on purpose? It's because of the camera.

Mr. Seo.

Mr. Seo!

Why are we hiding?

I don't know. I just felt like we should.

Go in there for now.

Huh?

Where did this guy go?

Geez, he's never around when I look for him.

Gosh, I dozed off for a second.

Am I sleepy because I have a lot to do?

- You came. - You had one visitor today.

No.

T-There have been many lately.

One yesterday. One the day before.

You haven't done much lately.

- Deputy Go. - Yes?

People say you don't know how to read the air, right?

My gosh.

Y-You are the first one to tell me that.

I prepared a team dinner perfectly on my own.

A team dinner? Why have another? We just had one last week.

Mr. Baek caught his killer.

By the way, Mr. Baek is kind of strange.

- What do you mean? - Mr. Baek...

is refusing to go home.

The public servant who used to go home on the dot to see his wife refuses to go home.

- Really? - Is he having a midlife crisis already?

By the way, do you know where Ms. Han is?

The lights were off at her place.

Hey, how am I supposed to know that?

Don't you know how late it is? She must be sleeping.

Why don't we go without them for now?

Hey.

I'll do a deep cleaning here and be there.

Go there and get things ready.

I cleaned this morning.

- Why don't we do it together- - No, no!

I wouldn't be doing this if you did it properly.

- Okay. - Hey!

I cleaned the floor here. Go that way.

Geez, I need to take a detour.

Bom.

He's gone.

- Is he gone? - Yes.

Thank goodness.

[The Ninth Shot: Timed Fate]

You can finally leave, Mr. Baek.

Oh, right, your wife received the flowers, right?

[Amicable Divorce Application]

I missed you, Na Rae.

How did you find me here?

- Didn't you order these flowers? - Me?

It only had your name without the sender's name.

I thought you did that because you missed me.

- It wasn't me. - It doesn't matter.

Whatever it was, I got to see your face.

Your face looks so gaunt.

Na Rae...

are you okay?

Sir, please don't call me anymore.

Don't come here like this, either.

I feel uncomfortable.

When will you leave?

You'll take a photo with your wife, right?

Fire! Fire!

Why is the lettuce on the grill?

Why are you two coming together?

- Huh? - Pardon?

Oh, o-on the first floor-

T-The thing is, I wanted to drink coffee in the morning,

but Mr. Seo happened to be preparing to go home.

That's how we came together.

This early in the morning?

- Deputy Go. - Yes?

There are many coffee shops that are open 24 hours.

There isn't one here.

Detective Baek, I heard you finally caught the culprit. Congratulations.

Yes, thank you.

The meat is burning. Have a seat.

Stop moving.

What are you doing right now?

Will you kill us with the safe zone?

Stay away from each other, you two.

Be far apart from each other. Hurry.

That was a close one. Have a seat. Sit.

Eat before it cools down.

How about mine?

Eat this one.

You dropped off the visitor's family safely?

Yes. She said there's no way her husband cheated.

She went back crying loudly.

- Cheated? - He came while you were catching Park Doo Chil.

He came to share the last moment with his loved one.

The problem is...

he couldn't decide which one.

An affair?

Honey, did you have an affair with that bitch?

Babe, didn't you say you loved me?

Well, Visitor. You need to decide now.

Which one do you want to take a photo with?

With me, of course, Oppa.

Come to your senses, Honey.

What are you looking at? Look at me.

- Honey. - Come here.

Hold on!

I'm not sure.

Who did he end up taking it with?

His wife, of course, right?

There's nothing more desperate than love.

He left comfortably holding his girlfriend's hand.

I'm sorry.

I need to get going.

Where did you say it was?

- Pardon? - The flower shop.

Gosh, it's cold.

Why is it so cold in the middle of summer?

Feeling cold makes me hungry.

What's this smell?

- Should I try some? - Bam!

It still has 30 seconds to go.

You're supposed to cook pork belly for a minute and 30 seconds, flipping once-

Who's the little brat-

Hey, how could you eat this alone?

Three people live in this house, but only the two of you?

Mr. Seo, I didn't think you were like this.

T-The intern girl...

I thought you were working late today.

You're not even interested when your only roommate is coming home.

Oh, were you busy dating?

Dating, my foot.

I was going to call you, anyway. Sit, sit.

But why are you sitting so far apart from each other?

Gosh, why are you so shy at your age?

Go, go.

Why is the intern girl here?

What's wrong with this?

And why is the table leg broken?

Hey, don't you work late too often these days?

How could they make you go home in the morning?

That chief is no good.

There's someone worse than the chief.

A ghost bastard.

Which company do you work for?

Oh, I wonder if you know.

It's called Wonjeong Foods.

[Intern Kim Ji Won]

[Deputy Go Seong Ho] Ji Won always got good grades since she was a kid.

She used to work for a bigger corporation before.

She would've been a section chief by now if she kept working.

I know someone who used to work there.

- Really? - You won't know.

He tried to have a blind date, but-

- Hey! - Pardon?

- No, no, no. - Are you okay, Mr. Seo?

It's okay. It's okay.

Gosh, what was that?

Didn't a cup move by itself just now?

- Pardon? - What?

Huh?

How could a cup move on its own?

You must be very tired. Go get some sleep.

Was I mistaken?

- Of course. - Of course.

Anyway, don't even mention the words "blind dates" with me.

I'm so traumatized because of someone who ghosted me even before we met.

Hello.

Eun Mi sunbae gave me your number.

I'm Kim Ji Won.

Nice to meet you, too.

Nice to meet you, too.

I'm Go Seong Ho.

[Kim Ji Won]

- Cheers. - Cheers.

By the way,

why are there four glasses?

Same with the utensils, too.

Is there anyone else besides us here?

Is it a ghost?

Gosh, hey.

I'm sorry.

Hey, what do you mean, a ghost?

I was kidding.

Gosh, it's cold.

It's tasty. Eat more.

Welcome.

[La La Flower]

I'm sorry. I deserve to die.

I definitely remembered your birthday, Madam.

I even picked up flowers...

I've sinned, and I'm talking too much, Madam.

It's okay. I know you're busy.

So, did you catch him?

I did.

I raided and arrested him.

But the problem is...

I'm afraid I'll get promoted again.

You'll end up catching all the bad guys in Korea.

I need to catch more.

There are still too many bad guys left.

What are these flowers?

- I got them as a gift. - A gift?

From what bastard?

I told you.

I'm taking a flower arranging class starting this winter.

It's hard to get a new job because of COVID, and I feel lonely.

Honey, should we go get something tasty tomorrow?

Let me buy you a present at a department store, too.

I'll get you something prettier than flowers.

I'll get you a designer sandbag.

You mean a handbag.

Did you get home safely yesterday-

I was kind of out of it yesterday...

- Sir. - Welcome.

- The flowers... - We want to get flowers for a friend's exhibition.

What kind of exhibition?

It's a graduation exhibition.

- Your graduation? - No, no. It's our friend's.

Your friend? Oh, your college classmate?

How about...

something purple...

[I'm sorry. / Don't be sorry. As much as I miss you, I can wait for you. / I miss you, too.]

Isn't the sky so pretty?

I sent it because it reminded me of you, Na Rae.

I'll never make you feel lonely.

I love you. I mean it.

Me, too. I love you, Min Hyeon.

I told you. I'm taking a flower arranging class starting this winter.

It's hard to get a new job because of COVID, and I feel lonely.

Thank you for the flowers. I was happy today, thanks to you.

- Since when? - It's so pretty. I like it.

Since when?

Are you okay?

It's okay.

- Are you okay? - Are you okay?

What was that?

- We'll come back some other time. - I'll prepare a nice one next time.

Yes, thank you.

Sir, when did you come in?

I'm sorry. I don't think you could buy flowers now.

It's okay.

I'm here to look for someone.

Oh, I see.

It's soju.

I burnt incense over it. Drink it.

Someone I know drinks it whenever they're having a hard time.

It doesn't taste too bad.

Since Na Rae told me to make sure to catch him,

I had no choice but to come back.

So she won't have to blame herself forever for saying that.

But what she actually wanted to do was...

asking for a divorce.

We were together for eight years, including when we dated.

I thought I knew her better than anyone.

But I don't recognize the Na Rae I'm seeing right now.

The face I used to see every day seems unfamiliar.

I think I might actually kill someone at this rate.

Do you want me to kill him?

I could make a ghost show up at his home and give him nightmares.

I could bring a few evil spirits to the flower shop and make him die slowly.

I could get him possessed and make him go crazy.

What would you like me to do?

That'd be a crime.

But...

it's better than you turning into an evil spirit.

You know you'd become an evil spirit if you resent this world deeply.

Just like Choi Hoon.

We don't have a visitor tomorrow. I'll let you rest for a few days.

Think carefully...

about what you want to do.

Mr. Seo, did you have lunch?

Yes.

What's for dinner tonight?

Work.

Good luck. Fighting.

Okay.

Okay?

Did he say "Okay" again?

Geez.

How come he answers with less than three characters?

Geez, seriously.

Attorney Han.

Hey, Sunbae.

Do you have a trial today?

Yes, it's an urgent commercial building lawsuit. I need to eat quickly and go.

You've been suspicious lately.

The Yoon So Myeong case and the Choi Hoon case. How are you getting so many cases?

Having the law firm next to the photo studio...

Did opening the law firm up on that hill really work?

Sunbae.

This is just between you and me.

There's a world even Lee Hyeon Oh can't reach.

I guess you could call it the night world.

Are you very stressed out lately?

Because Lee Hyeon Oh became the minister?

Please tell us how you feel.

I'll have a sense of duty in every moment and case...

I am stressed out.

Sunbae, what do you think of a man with short answers? Look.

[Emergency Contact]

Is he playing hard to get with me?

Hey, how can you joke right now?

Lee Hyeon Oh became the minister.

Whatever. I won't get involved with him anymore.

There's a market with no competition that he has no idea about.

No competition?

Okay. That's good to hear.

I'm sleepy. Seriously...

What? He never contacted me once.

Seriously.

[Calls - Emergency Contact]

No, this would make me look desperate.

Let's not worry and go to sleep.

How could he not contact me once all day?

No, I should sleep.

Doesn't he miss me?

Hello?

Were you sleeping?

Yes, I was.

I miss you.

Yes, me, too.

Why don't you come out for a second, then?

Pardon?

I'm in front of your house.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Gosh, my pajamas.

♫ A small bird is whispering ♫

♫ Your kindhearted eyes that hold the sunset ♫

What is it? You didn't contact me once yesterday.

I thought you forgot that we are dating.

I was afraid I wouldn't want to work if I did.

I came as soon as I closed.

The tent you bought to go camping with your ex.

Do you still have it?

Yes, I do. I never got to go camping once-

Hold on. Are you jealous already?

Why don't you go camping with your new boyfriend with that?

I'm asking you out on a date.

♫ On the boat that's called love, let's dream ♫

♫ Without anyone knowing, just you and me ♫

What will you do with the studio?

Deputy Go will take care of it.

Why are you tagging along to Ms. Han's business trip?

Well, I need to meet someone who died in her case.

And that happened to be the West Coast?

They fell into the ocean and died, apparently.

Didn't you say they fell off a mountain earlier?

They fell off a mountain, rolled down, fell into the ocean, and died.

You can't go.

I can't manage this place on my own.

She's your first love, right?

- No. - I should ask her.

I'll ask her if she knows Deputy Go of Wonjeong Foods.

O-O-Okay.

I'll watch the studio. I will.

Don't cause trouble, okay?

Instead, you can never tell Ji Won that I'm the Deputy Go Seong Ho.

Well, do you think Deputy Go will be okay alone?

We don't have a visitor today, anyway. We hardly get anyone lately.

Should I return the car if you're worried?

Mr. Seo, it's about time Deputy Go works on his own. Let's keep going.

Enter the North Expressway on the right in a moment.

Mr. Seo! Turn the blinkers on!

You do have a driver's license, right?

Of course.

It's just my first time driving since getting one.

When did you get it?

Was it when I was 20 or 21?

Mr. Seo, stop the car.

It's okay.

I might not look like it, but I got the perfect score for the written exam.

No, stop the car.

Enter the highway on the right.

Use the turn signal when you switch lanes and...

using the side-view mirror... I'm sorry...

Try again. Use the turn signal and...

- A-Are you okay? - I'm okay.

How could he scold a sick person?

How could he do that!

I'll be late if I miss that bus.

Gosh, Chief Kim will berate me again.

Excuse me! Hold on...

Hold on.

Aren't you getting on?

I'll get on, but...

H-How much is the fare?

- 1,300 won. - Right...

How much would it be if I transfer?

- It depends on where you go. - Just one moment.

Aren't you getting on?

Thank you.

I am not. Drive safely.

What a crazy bastard.

- Fighting! - Me?

What?

Could I have an iced latte?

It will be 12,000 won.

Let me ring you up.

Hello.

I'll have three iced Americanos,

three iced lattes,

an espresso Frappuccino with extra whipped cream,

an iced vanilla latte,

and a normal coffee?

Oh, that's for chief Kim.

He calls instant coffee "normal coffee."

It will be 38,000 won.

- How did you know? - You're in the marketing team, right?

- Yes. - They order from us often.

I'll deliver them to the office.

You can go back now.

Well, I'm okay.

This is on the house.

It's very good for you. Don't share with anyone else.

Something is really strange.

Chief Kim...

gets crankier when his blood sugar drops.

Supply him with enough sugar. Fighting.

He must know my team very well.

Pull the yearly sales records for the past 10 years and the ads that got the highest CTR

and come up with ideas to improve the brand recognition for the menu set.

When will I finish analyzing 10 years of sales records?

I have no chance of going home on time today, either.

I feel energized a bit.

Let's get started.

[Yearly Sales Records and Ad Analysis Report]

Huh?

Deputy.

Chief Kim...

likes cool-looking things.

Make the cover eye-catching.

And this is a gift.

I recommend Doteum for the font. Fighting.

Is this my lucky day, or what?

I suspect a tragic ending.

This is...

the only way for me to beg for forgiveness.

[Police]

2:10.

He went into the studio at 11 p.m. and came out at two in the morning.

Three hours.

Sunbae, did you stake out, too?

What time do photo studios normally close?

It doesn't take long to get a photo taken, right?

Do they close around eight or something?

It probably takes 30 minutes maximum for a photo shoot.

I staked out in front of this photo studio for three days,

but I've never seen the owner coming out during the day.

He only gets one or two customers at night, too.

It is strange.

Is it some kind of an illegal business?

I keep thinking there's something more.

That neighborhood is really strange.

A cat died again, apparently.

I think some bastard has been killing all the stray cats.

Maybe we have a serial killer.

Deviated from the route. Starting to reroute.

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Please...

Please come to your senses!

I think we ran out of gas.

It took us five hours when it was supposed to take two hours. That's why.

How did you get a driver's license, Mr. Seo?

Stay in the car.

I'll go get some gas at a gas station nearby.

The nearest gas station is more than 10 km away.

To get to the West Coast within the day-

But we don't have to camp by the ocean.

I heard stargazing is trendy these days.

Should we gaze at stars together?

♫ The glittering raindrops are falling and caressing me ♫

♫ They embrace me warmly as if I'm dreaming ♫

♫ It feels like that whenever I'm with you ♫

Are you okay?

Well, yes.

♫ Just like going on a trip somewhere far away ♫

I think you'd be helping by doing nothing.

I don't want to hear that from such a poor driver.

♫ It makes my heart flutter ♫

♫ Oh, I love you ♫

Would you like some ramen?

What? Why do you sound so cute?

Did you practice that?

♫ On the days we meet ♫

Mr. Seo, don't move.

What?

What are you doing right now?

- What? - The noodles aren't cooked yet.

You can't turn it off yet.

You scared me.

Three minutes and 30 seconds is the optimal ramen cooking time.

What are you saying?

The noodles are best when they are fully cooked.

Are you ignoring the expert's opinion?

Half-cooked noodles are an insult to noodles.

Do you want to get sued for insulting?

I think you mean defamation.

If you don't like it, cook it yourself.

What?

You're the reason I'm eating ramen here.

I should try some since you put effort into it.

It's good.

What happened? You must've cooked ramen for a few women.

There was a visitor who only ate al dente noodles.

She was a picky eater with a bad temper.

She used to get angry so easily.

Thanks to her, everything in the studio was destroyed.

She must've been a thug.

No.

It was a 12-year-old kid.

You mean you got bullied by a 12-year-old?

She wasn't just a normal elementary schooler.

Thinking about it, I almost died when I was 12, too.

We got into a car accident on the way to Grandma's house.

Both my parents died, and only I survived.

It took me two months to wake up since I lost consciousness.

My grandma prayed at the temple every day.

She told Buddha it's okay if I become stupid

or never have functioning legs again

as long as I wake up.

Her prayer worked.

Instead, I ended up with this glorious wound.

- Let me see. - You can't. It's really ugly.

Let me see.

I think it's just a passing rain.

Stay right here. I'll go clean up.

You don't want to catch a cold.

♫ Do you think we met by coincidence? ♫

♫ No, I think it was meant to be ♫

♫ If I get to meet you again after a long detour ♫

♫ I'll hug you without a word ♫

♫ My careless love caused you pain ♫

♫ As long as I have you, I don't mind a long detour ♫

♫ Even if my time stops and my life ends ♫

♫ I choose you, it's meant to be ♫

♫ You're the one person who loved me ♫

♫ Even if you change your mind after time passes ♫

♫ I'll love you even more ♫

♫ Please just be by my side ♫

Geez, seriously.

Don't they have any conscience?

They're on a trip, and someone is on vacation

while I'm feeling depressed.

I told him to put these away once he's done. He just won't listen.

W-W-What's he always looking at? What is it?

I suddenly started seeing bodies of cats in front of the studio.

The ancestor called that the shadow of death.

Does it happen before the photographers die?

Gosh, Mr. Seo has plenty of time left, then.

The studio is so peaceful, and the camera is here.

How could the evil spirit come in here?

W-Who is it? Who is it?

W-What's this?

W-What's...

Where's the camera?

The camera!

Where is it?

I still have plenty left on my bucket list.

I said I can't manage the studio alone!

Come back quickly, Mr. Seo!

Bom, are you up?

Bom?

I'll open the tent, Bom.

Where did she go?

I just got this yesterday.

But she doodled on it.

What is she, a kid? [Our first date today / Seo Ki Joo is only good at making ramen]

She acts just like Jang Soo-

D-Did the annoying visitor who doodles do those?

[Good job, Seo Ki Joo]

- No way... - Our first date today.

Seo Ki Joo is only good at making ramen.

♫ Opening my eyes ♫

♫ Pacing back and forth by the window ♫

♫ You exist in every little moment ♫

Mr. Seo!

Seo Ki Joo!

Thinking about it, I almost died when I was 12, too.

♫ The smiley face ♫

♫ And the tears behind it ♫

♫ It perhaps resembles mine ♫

Both my parents died and only I survived.

It took me two months to wake up since I lost consciousness.

By chance...

♫ Yes ♫

♫ Because I couldn't do what I wanted to do for you ♫

♫ Even if my feelings for you come back ♫

♫ In every moment of my life, I'll only stay by your side ♫

What? Did you come here looking for me?

You couldn't wait even for a moment?

You can't sleep because you miss me, right?

Jang Soo.

That was my nickname when I was a kid.

How did you know?

Did Ji Won tell you?

That scar...

Can I have a look at it?

Fine.

But you can't call it ugly, okay?

You were alive.

Mr. Seo.

You were alive.

So, I went to the studio while I was unconscious?

And I was the thuggish kid you mentioned?

I can't even imagine.

I met Seo Ki Joo when I was 15.

By the way, why don't I remember it?

Because you were unconscious then.

In rare cases, the souls of people who are alive come, thinking they are dead.

I thought you died because you suddenly disappeared.

It's so fascinating.

I reunited with Seo Ki Joo at age 35 after seeing him when I was 15.

Have you heard of something called "timed fate"?

They say all the people you're destined to meet come at a certain time.

You're destined to meet those people, even if you didn't try.

Just like us.

Yes.

What was I like when I was 12?

You were mean.

- Pardon? - You were ill-tempered.

You destroyed everything and threw tantrums.

Seriously.

Are you sure you're happy to see me again?

Thanks to that troublemaker, I survived.

When I didn't want to do anything because Uncle disappeared,

Jang Soo came and caused trouble every day.

So I didn't get a chance to think about Uncle.

I really saved your life, then.

Aren't you so grateful, Seo Ki Joo?

By the way,

why are you talking to me casually since earlier?

I don't think I would've spoken formally due to my temper.

Are you offended? Talk to me casually, too, then.

You really are Jang Soo.

But that ill-tempered kid came back as the safe zone.

Thinking about it, what would you have done if you never met me?

You wouldn't have had the safe zone.

I'm the one who created it, okay?

What do you mean by that?

Because of a kid who was afraid of ghosts when she was a ghost,

I used salt to...

create the circle carefully.

Stay in this circle.

Stay close to me.

- Really? - I'll protect you.

When you disappeared back then,

I really thought you were dead.

But you're by my side now.

That's why the safe zone gets activated when we're together.

Because you created it for me.

Thank you...

for always saving me in dangerous moments.

I want to live a very long time now.

A very long time.

Right, my phone got confiscated.

Ta-da.

You're the first person I'm giving it to.

Make sure to come.

Gosh, I'm sure she's waiting for my call.

I should just get going.

So cold! Did the boiler die again?

Let's see...

[Seo Joon and Yoon Hee]

You're the one who framed me, aren't you?

Who are you?

I need to stop by somewhere today. I'll be back late.

I'll pick you up if it gets late.

Mr. Seo, you said you're going to the Pitcairn Islands with your uncle, right?

Go with me if he doesn't come back in time.

I can't help myself because I'm nervous.

The population is small there. You'd be the most handsome man there.

How annoying.

Okay. Let's make sure to go together.

What's going on...

- Look at the window. - Look at it.

Look at all the blood. Did they use a brick...

Look at that.

You haven't found the culprit yet?

M-Mr. Seo.

Mr. Seo.

What happened?

An evil spirit came last night.

Gosh. It stinks over here.

Mr. Seo, I've been calling you since the crack of dawn. You finally came.

The police searched the studio and interrogated people in the area.

It was a mess.

Yes, I had something to do.

Oh, I see.

Where were you between two and three in the morning when the incident happened?

- I was outside of Seoul. - I see.

Who could prove your alibi?

Am I a suspect?

No.

Oh, I'm investigating the case now.

We've been receiving calls about cats getting killed lately.

According to our investigation,

all the cats were strangely killed around your photo studio.

But...

it happened in front of your house this time.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Yes.

Are you saying I'm the culprit right now?

I wouldn't have done this unless I'm crazy.

Why would I have ruined my studio?

I didn't say you're the culprit.

Please leave if you have nothing to say. I have a business to run.

When do you open?

- Probably the same as other businesses. - Apparently not.

You open at night and close at dawn. You only have one or two customers, too.

Mr. Seo,

do you know what we call a place like this?

A fake storefront.

What are you trying to disguise, exactly?

Please leave.

A terrorist attack like this is usually committed by someone

antisocial with a twisted desire to exhibit themselves.

For example, someone who frequents the police station

or claims attention by causing trouble often.

An officer should investigate, not hypothesize.

I agree.

I'll be in touch again.

Don't move to a different place again.

M-Mr. Seo, are you okay?

- Where's the camera? - Thankfully, the evil spirit couldn't enter the studio.

B-But the fact that an evil spirit came this far means-

It means my death is approaching.

[Attorney Han Bom]

Tell Ms. Han that we got robbed or something.

Okay.

[Safe Zone]

I'm busy because the studio got robbed.

Take your time coming back.

Was anything stolen?

I'll come home quickly and help.

It's okay. There are many helping hands here.

Mr. Baek,

what took you so long?

Why are you back so late?

Seriously...

I could've gotten killed.

I almost died twice! I'm serious.

Hey, that's enough now. Okay?

I-I think it's the evil spirit again!

The one who framed me for murder came to my house yesterday and killed me.

If I don't catch him now...

Prosecutor.

Prosecutor Han Bom. Please let me meet her.

I need to speak to her.

I need to tell her that I saw the real culprit.

Hold on. The suspect for the Ahnjin Vacation Home murder from a few years ago.

Kim Yoon Cheol, right?

He is an evil spirit, isn't he?

A few years ago?

What do you mean? I got released yesterday.

Visitor, what year is it now?

Of course, it's 2019.

It's 2023 right now.

No way.

What?

No.

No.

No.

No. No. No...

- No... - Visitor.

It's okay. Let us help you.

- Visitor! - No!

Stop!

Mr. Seo, are you okay?

He mentioned being framed.

He must be the murderer.

Staying on the path of the netherworld for long can blur your memory.

Kim Yoon Cheol might not be sure if he killed someone or not.

What would happen if his anger grows uncontrollably?

Would he become an evil spirit by chance?

We need to prevent it from happening.

Whether he's the real culprit or not,

make sure he doesn't meet Ms. Han.

I can't put her in danger again.

We might need to destroy him.

Destroy?

Let's split up and look first.

I...

You should stay back at the studio.

Let's go.

No.

[August 30, 2023, 19:35]

No.

Hello, sir.

Hello, you came.

- Is the photo ready? - Yes.

It turned out very nicely.

Wow, it did turn out nicely.

I wonder who took it. It's the best photo of his life.

Ms. Han, what are you doing right now?

Deputy Go.

Why are you hanging Mr. Seo's photo here?

Well, I heard getting a photo taken before turning 35 is a tradition.

It's a funeral photo.

All of these people here...

died before they turned 35.

[Missing person - Seo Ki Won, male, 35 years old]

You're still up.

I almost died...

because I missed you.

Mr. Seo,

are you going to die?

♫ I still wonder why ♫

Did you make me take your funeral photo?

♫ I don't want to lose memories of you ♫

♫ I still don't know why ♫

♫ Tell me why ♫

♫ Let the long night pass ♫

♫ I still wonder why ♫

♫ Where you are ♫

♫ I still don't know why ♫

♫ Until my heart reaches you ♫

♫ You told me we'd never ♫

♫ I'll call your name ♫

[Epilogue]

[3 years ago, on the path to the netherworld]

I'll never die like this.

The bastard who killed me...

I need to find him.

This is so unfair.

Someone, please help me!

Please!

[The Midnight Studio]

Do you think it was easy for me to accept this damned curse?

You shouldn't have made me take your funeral photo.

He chose to die. Why did he return?

Kim Yoon Cheol, the suspect of the vacation home murder?

What if someone has been planning this from the beginning?

I'll kill you!

I'll find him, no matter what.

Because that was my uncle's last request.
