(1987)

What's this?

You remember the video you and your friends saw a few days ago, right?

Yes.

Play this tape for them.

You should go to school now.

What's going to happen?

When the school magazine club...

hears this...

what will happen?

(Tape)

Are you in there? The door won't open!

What do we do?

Hey, Jung-hyun! Cho Jung-hyun!

Why isn't it opening?

Hey, Jung-hyun!

Tak.

- Hey, you're here. - Where are the others?

I don't think they're here yet.

Is your hand alright?

Oh...

Yeah.

It's not that serious.

Really?

Tak.

The thing is...

I actually have no idea why I did that today.

I was in a daze the whole day.

When I came back to my senses, I was in the broadcast station.

Jung-hyun, it's okay.

You don't have to say anything else.

I was in a daze today, too.

There are gaps in my memory. I don't remember what I did.

I guess we're telepathically connected, huh?

They came on time.

It's too bad Kyung-joo couldn't come because she's sick.

Yeah, it would've been great if she could see it with us.

See what?

You'll see.

A few days ago, Min-jae and I coincidentally met this amazing person.

He said that if we come here tonight, we'll

be able to see something really interesting.

Right, Min-jae?

This is it.

We can hide here.

Hide? Why do we have to hide?

- You'll see. - You wanna die?

How dare you touch me!

I'm pissed enough as it is! What kind of bullshit are you up to?

- Huh? - Tak, don't do this.

Be quiet. It's here.

What are you guys looking at?

Over there. Don't you see it?

I don't see anything.

Tak.

He was right.

He was telling the truth.

- Jung-hyun. - Tak, do you see it?

What is it?

- Run! - Tak!

Hometown: Cheonyang Purification Plant

(Episode 9)

Hey, check that side and let me know.

(1987)

It's not real. It's fake.

I must endure.

No matter what, I have to endure.

You see that woman, don't you?

Then everything is ready.

It's almost over, mom.

Moon-sook!

Oh my goodness! What is going on?

- Are you okay? - Yes, I am.

But Ms. Cho is probably really shocked.

My goodness.

Where is she? Where's my daughter?

She's over there.

Where?

She was definitely over there until just now.

That's weird.

Jung-hyun!

Jung-hyun!

Goodness, where did she go?

What the hell! Hey, you!

Hey! Hey!

(Youngjingyo Cognitive Science Video)

"October 6. Cheonyang Purification Plant."

Can you hold out your hand?

Am I going to die?

Not yet.

You will help me tomorrow.

Not just you, but all the kids in the school magazine club who watched the video.

What should we do?

Go to Saju Station with the bag I give you.

Then open the bag...

and let the gas spread.

Is that all?

No.

It's just the beginning.

Just stay still.

Once we're done talking, I'll let you go.

We could've just talked it out. Why did you have to get so violent?

It's a headache for both of us.

You're her.

Cho Jung-hyun's classmate, Jung Min-jae.

You really are a detective.

You even recognize my face.

But it doesn't matter who I am.

I'm just a mere ant that is following that person's orders.

"That person"?

I got a job here as soon as I graduated because of him.

Everything was prepared for this moment.

I've spent half of my life being devoted to him.

Are you talking about Cho Kyung-ho?

I don't dare say his name easily.

I don't understand.

What don't you understand?

Why would someone like you help him?

- Why on earth would you do that? - Mr. Choi, I'm a normal person.

An ordinary person who feels anguish, gets jealous, and regrets.

But what about him?

He's different.

He has a purpose.

And he has the power to achieve it.

It's not wrong that someone insignificant like me

wants to lend someone with a great purpose a hand.

Don't you agree?

You all say the same things.

Maybe it's because you emptied your brain and

only filled it up with Kyung-ho's words.

You act as if you gained some great insight.

You just can't accept it.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Soon, you'll realize it yourself.

I'm ready. Please give me a minute.

It's for you.

Hello.

This is Cho Kyung-ho.

How have you been, Mr. Choi?

How did you know I would come here?

Are you keeping tabs on me?

Keeping tabs on you?

It's not like that.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

We're people who are bound to meet.

But when I first saw your face, I realized...

"He still doesn't know anything yet."

- What? - That's why I thought it won't do.

I realized that foolish humans can never...

go to the end of the future.

"The end of the future"?

What the hell are you talking about?

I can't tell you that yet.

In order for us to have a proper conversation,

you need to get the answer that I want.

You crazy bastard.

Do you think the day will come when we can

have a decent conversation in the same room?

Before that, I'll put a bullet through your head.

This is interesting.

Whether it's the end or the future,

do whatever you want.

I'm not going to hide.

I don't care if you keep tabs on me.

Everything you say is garbage.

You recently delivered strange tapes to this neighborhood, right?

And in that video is the One Family Welfare Center.

That's when it hit me.

Kyung-ho, you imbecile.

You want to get revenge against this town, don't you?

You want to get payback for all the hellish things you experienced.

You blamed the people of Saju who knew what was

happening at One Family Welfare Center but turned a blind eye to it.

Is that why you wanted to kill everyone?

Using the painful past as an excuse, you gave yourself indulgence.

What? Is that it?

Okay, sure. Not bad.

That was surprisingly good for you. It was unexpected.

But unfortunately, that's not the answer I want.

It's true that this story...

starts at One Family Welfare Center.

And the story ends with you.

So, what happened today is nothing more than a symbol.

You can't change the future.

That's all you need to think about.

Other than that, everything is meaningless.

Watch what happens from now on.

And, accept that, in the end, you can't change anything.

Then Hyung-in...

have a good trip.

All right.

Then we'll slowly begin.

Midnight.

So once it becomes October 6,

what happened at Saju Station in 1987 will be repeated.

All the people who watched the video will gather here.

And they will head to the designated future.

They are carrying out Guru's plan.

I'm in charge of that important mission.

You're going to kill...

all those people with your hands?

Why? Why would you do something so absurd?

Didn't I tell you?

You don't understand him yet!

Just stay quiet and keep an eye on what happens!

It's the beginning of a new history.

Wow, it's just as he said.

They're flocking like a bunch of rats.

Of course it's true. It's not fake.

That's why I'm suffering like this.

Because his power is real.

It's a tragedy. A tragedy.

Forget it. Let's get ready.

(October 6, 1999 - Cheonyang Purification Plant)

He could've just brought him here. Why did he have to gas him?

It's such a hassle.

At this rate, he's going to die before we even start.

What? What did you say?

What are you mumbling about?

Is that place cold?

Or warm?

What?

You manage this place, so you must know a lot about it.

What are you trying to say?

Yes.

I hate water.

Water?

Yes. Water.

What do you think?

I've finished my warm-up.

I'm sick of this fishy smell of air and water.

Especially the sound of the water flowing without stopping for a minute.

I'm sick and tired of it now!

I'm going to finish it somehow.

Hi, Jung-hyun.

Hi, Jung-hyun.

Min-jae.

What are you doing?

Who are all those people outside?

Tell me, Min-jae.

What on earth is wrong with you?

Jung-hyun, let's drop the act.

Young-seob and I have been part of Youngjingyo for a long time.

You probably figured that out by now.

No.

Both Yong-tak and I wanted to believe that you had no part in this!

Yong-tak believed in you until the very end!

But today, he...

Did you...

already know about it?

Yes.

It was one of my duties to keep an eye on you guys.

So you were the one who connected...

Cho Kyung-ho and Jae-young?

That's right. I did that, too.

But you know, Jung-hyun,

if you look at the big picture, this is not a big deal.

Those trivial things are just part of the process.

- "Trivial things"? - Yes.

Look at it from a distance. Those are just trivial matters.

Don't you understand?

Jae-young getting kidnapped...

and Yong-tak dying...

are all trivial matters?

When we went to Cheonyang Lake that night in 1987,

we ran away without you.

If we hadn't left you that day,

you wouldn't have ended up like this.

So...

I can't resent you.

No, you're wrong.

You didn't leave me behind. I was waiting for him.

I was waiting for Guru all by myself!

- What? - Guru was the first person to help me!

My mom couldn't be hospitalized because we couldn't pay for her hospital bills.

When she was on her deathbed, Guru is the only one who reached out to me!

I'm different from Yong-tak and Young-seob.

They don't even remember what they did at Saju Station.

We have completely different beginnings.

I...

killed all the innocent people at Saju Station...

and thought I only need my mom to survive.

That's the kind of person I am!

Let's stop here, Jung-hyun.

I don't care if it's you. If you get in my way, I'll kill you.

Min-jae, let's start over.

Min-jae.

I've been waiting for this day.

For this day, I've endured dull times without any joy.

- Stop it! - Let go of me!

Do you have a death wish?

Let go!

Min-jae.

No. No. Min-jae!

Min-jae! Min-jae!

Min-jae, open the door!

Open up!

Min-jae, please open the door!

Min-jae!

Min-jae!

Ms. Choi, it's me.

Yes, everything is done.

Is my mom sleeping comfortably?

I left her in the hospital room, so I was worried about her.

Yes.

She's sleeping comfortably.

I see.

That's good to hear.

Ms. Jung, we're running out of time.

I am waiting for your order.

Min-jae.

Min-jae, please open the door!

Yes.

Ms. Choi.

Please...

send my mom...

to the new future.

Min-jae!

Min-jae!

Min-jae, listen to me!

Min-jae!

Jung-hyun...

I'm so exhausted.

- Min-jae! Don't do this! - I'm sorry...

mom.

Min...

Min-jae.

Don't...

ever...

forgive me, okay?

This sound...

We have to make it stop as soon as possible.

No matter what I press, the sound won't stop!

Please stop!

Please!

Hang on.

I'm going upstairs.

We were all fooled...

by that bastard.

Cho Kyung-ho, that moron...

knew this was going to happen.

Stop! Stop!

I'll go back to my room now.

Sure. Will you be all right?

Don't you want to wait to hear the results?

I don't need to. I already know what's going to happen.

Oh, and...

I hope you don't say anything about what you saw and heard today.

Of course not, Guru.

Even if you didn't tell me, I was planning to keep my lips sealed.

All right.

Everyone is a nice ant.

Jung-hyun, step back.

It's no use.

Please stop.

At this rate, you'll collapse first!

I know...

what these unpleasant sounds are.

If the people who watched the video hear this,

they'll be in danger.

It should just be me.

The person that Cho Kyung-ho should kill in this neighborhood

is me and only me.

Step back.

Now.

Watch out!

- What's that noise? - What's going on?

- Get that away from me! - What am I doing here?

How...

How can you be here?

What's your question?

Who am I?

Or am I Guru?

Who are you?

Who are you?

I...

came to save you two.

Who are you?

Shhh.

It's time to sleep.

You can't die yet.

I need you two.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm Kim Moon-sook.

- Kim Moon-sook? - Yes.

I see.

I have no idea what's going on right now.

Hi, Ms. Cho!

Yes, I ate!

I drank the juice, too.

Don't worry. I brought a lot of comic books.

By the way,

you know the detective?

Yes, Mr. Choi.

He just woke up.

Sorry?

Yes.

Okay.

That was Jae-young's aunt. She said she'll be here soon.

And she told me to quickly get the nurse.

- She was shocked. - Shocked? Why?

Well...

you've been out for over a week.

Last time, PD Jung cried a lot because she thought you were dead.

Would you like some gum?

The Special Investigation Team analyzed the crime

scene and the evidence at the victims' homes.

They concluded that all 200 people who died

were members of a new cult called Youngjingyo.

At the time, they carried out a ritual in an enclosed space

at a purification plant and committed suicide using gas.

The investigation team then identified that the incident was led by Jung Min-jae,

the employee in charge of the water

purification plant and facility in Cheonyang,

who was found dead in her office.

A source from the Special Investigation Team stated they believe Jung Young-seob

is the leader of this cult and are focusing their efforts to catch him.

They're also planning to arrest and question the executives of Youngjingyo...

If all the people who received the video tapes

were members of Youngjingyo,

then it probably couldn't have been prevented from the beginning.

What is he doing? What is he saying?

They're Jae-young's friends.

When I couldn't be here, they stayed next to you.

I see.

What's wrong?

- Thank you for helping me. - No problem. It's the right thing to do.

By any chance, did Jae-young...

come back?

- This is boring. - She can't understand this.

No, not yet.

Your comment.

It's insulting.

How could you say that?

Are you really not going to eat?

Yes.

I hate the food here.

I can't digest it.

But this album is really nice.

I can go out this month,

so I'll go to the record shop in Saju and buy something else.

I saved up a lot of money.

I asked around, and I heard Toy's album is good, too.

Now that I think about it, I think I can get some comic books.

The masters are busy these days because of

what happened at Cheonyang Purification Plant.

- Tell me what you like and... - Shi-young.

I have something to tell you.

I...

want to leave this place.

We can't stop you from leaving the hospital,

but please don't overdo yourself.

Refrain from any exercise, even anything light, for a while.

All right.

I guess someone else came today.

Then I'll see you next time.

Oh, you need absolute rest. Don't forget.

I won't.

Hello, Mr. Choi.

I can see you're one of us.

Who sent you?

Well,

I work at Busan Prosecutors' Office.

(Busan Prosecutors' Office Investigator Kim Sung-hee)

(Busan Prosecutors' Office)

(General Civil Service Office)

Thank you for coming.

Please follow me.

I'm sorry,

but can we open the door for a minute?

Inmate number 5164.

We will now start the transfer process.

Go next to the sink and put your hands on the wall.

Don't leave anything.

It'll be heavy.

Thank you.

I'm really, really grateful!

I'm ready.

Who do you think Guru is?

Or let me ask you this.

Have you ever met the person called Guru before?

Yes.

You met Guru in person?

Yes.

I did.

I'll be honest with you.

We're trying to identify the person called Guru.

Some of us believe that Jung Young-seob, the proxy, might not be Guru.

And if he's not Guru...

there's only one person who can be.

But if that's the case,

the situation will get very complicated.

Complicated? Why?

I'd like to hear from the detective who was in charge of the case.

We need to know who Guru is and how dangerous that person is.

You just said you'd be honest, right?

Let's get to the point.

He killed...

three nurses, one janitor, and one prison guard

and escaped from the treatment center.

"He"?

Yes.

Cho Kyung-ho disappeared.

Subtitles from: OnDemandKorea Edited by: ayamefan13

(Hometown)

We have no time.

We must find Cho Kyung-ho as soon as possible.

I'm afraid of dying.

Are you afraid of me?

You see that woman, don't you?

The Day of Purification is beginning.

That means you could die.

I don't want to change this plan.

Now, this is the only way.

Your sins will come back to you!
