Original subtitles

Yes.

Grandpa, are you okay?

Of course there's nothing wrong.

When are you coming?

I've made some pickled fish.

Come and take some.

It's different from those canned products.

Just send it to my house.

It's not easy for me to go downtown.

Is it because of car sickness?

Do you still get dizzy and sick if you smell gas from a bus?

Yes.

I want to go see where you live,

but it's difficult for me to ride the bus.

I'll visit soon.

I have something to ask you.

It's about Dad.

I have a bad feeling. What are you about to say?

Is there something...

you didn't tell me?

There is.

After your dad disappeared like that,

we reported him missing to the police.

A few years later, we finally found him living in Seoul.

But he refused to come back home, no matter what.

So I lost touch with him.

After that, I went to your grandma and mom's...

cemetery to pay my respects.

I found signs that he visited the cemetery.

But that disappeared a few years ago.

I want to find him again, but I can't even ride in a car.

You don't even know his number?

No.

He was always good at hiding...

every time he ran away.

When he ran away from home, he rode in a car and went far.

He knew that I couldn't follow him in a car.

Why did he run away from home?

He didn't want to follow in his family's footsteps.

I guess it's because he saw his mom suffer so much.

And when you were born,

he threw a fit saying that he wanted to move out with you.

I wish I hadn't stopped him then.

Stop saying things like that.

Goodness. The more I think about it,

he's such a heartless father.

Even when his family was here,

he never visited once.

- Hello. - Hey.

I told you to wait outside.

Why?

What? We have something to talk about.

Again?

Don't say anything ridiculous.

Hey, you...

Hey, Detective Kang.

I need water.

- What's so urgent? - Find someone for me.

It's my father.

20 years ago, on the day of the incident,

he ran away from home.

Why so suddenly?

Among Priest Choi's belongings,

my father's wedding ring was found.

Why was that found in there?

That's what I want to know.

If it's related with Priest Choi's murder.

Your father, Yun Geun Ho's...

home address is unclear.

Really? Is there another way then?

He received police investigation a few times for assault.

- Police investigation? - Yes.

He was investigated recently too.

Yun Geun Ho? Why are you looking for him?

You received investigation with him for mutual assault.

I'm a deacon of this church.

Does mutual assault make sense?

He was a very strange man.

Can you elaborate?

Well...

When he first came to our church,

I thought he was a very committed Christian.

But later on, he said...

that he was being chased by the devil.

My goodness.

- The devil? - Yes.

I told him to stop talking about the devil, and we got into a fight.

He doesn't come to church anymore?

He can't.

It turns out, he went to several churches.

He even went to a temple...

and met a shaman.

He's a very strange human being.

Do you know where he lives?

He doesn't have an address.

He goes to the employment agency at that intersection...

and barely makes a living.

- Employment agency? - Yes.

Are you okay?

I don't know. I haven't seen him in 20 years.

I don't know what to day, or whether he will recognize me.

Don't be nervous.

You don't have to be. It's your dad.

I think it's him.

Father.

Father.

I'm sorry. I must've been mistaken.

Goodness.

I can't pay you for the laundry.

You don't give me any work, and I'm having bad luck.

Did you drink again?

That's why you always fight with the manager.

I haven't worked for a month.

- What are you doing? - Do you want to see me die?

What about just dying with me now?

- What on earth... - Father.

What?

It's me, Hwa Pyung.

Your son.

Hey!

What are you doing?

What's wrong with him?

Wait.

- Why are you running away? - Go away.

- Calm down. - No!

- What's wrong with you? - You're Satan.

You devil!

I've been running all my life...

and you've found me again, Park Il Do?

- Park Il Do? - Go away.

Please grab him.

He's trying to kill me. Please grab him for me.

He's my dad. Don't worry.

You are not my son!

You are...

not my son.

I was busy. I'm on my way.

Don't come here. Go to the place where Hwa Pyung's dad is living.

Why? Is something wrong?

He saw Hwa Pyung and ran away, calling him Park Il Do.

He even swung a knife.

Is Hwa Pyung okay?

He isn't.

You go and meet his dad.

And don't mention Hwa Pyung.

Mr. Yun.

Mr. Yun!

You still don't have any work?

When are you going to pay the rent?

Seriously.

Someone is here for you.

Who are you?

I'm Priest Mateo from Nambu Church.

Priest?

A cross.

Do you have a cross?

What is this about?

It's about Park Il Do.

He sent you.

You devil.

I'm looking for Park Il Do.

You eventually...

found me.

You demon!

You even possessed a priest holding a cross.

No. I'm a real priest.

- I'm looking for Park Il Do too. - Don't lie.

Park Il Do sent you...

to kill me.

Priest Choi Sang Hyun.

- What? - He was...

a young priest who met your possessed son.

And his whole family died because of that.

Priest Choi Sang Hyun...

was my brother.

This was found next to my brother's belongings.

Why was your ring...

found in that location?

That's because...

Tell me.

Did you bury my brother's body?

- Or... - I helped with...

the death of your brother.

- What do you mean? - On that day...

although I couldn't kill him...

You are not my son.

No! Let go!

- Run away, Hwa Pyung! - Let go!

- Run! - Let go!

You can't!

No! I can't let him go!

Park Il Do!

Park Il Do!

Priest Choi. Did you see my son?

Priest Choi?

Priest Choi?

Priest Choi?

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

Priest Choi!

What's going on?

Help!

Please help us!

Anyone, please help!

Please help...

No...

What...

did he say?

"It's..."

"your turn next."

"Run away..."

"from your son."

And...

he stabbed...

one of his eyes...

with his hand.

Then...

he died.

"Run away from your son"?

What does it mean?

Father Choi himself is Park Il Do.

So why did he say such a thing?

I don't know...

whether he's attempting to confuse us...

or fooling around with us.

He ran off after hearing the words from the possessed Father Choi.

He's believed that I'm Park Il Do all his life and even now.

Why would he believe in that?

Park Il Do already left my body by that time.

How pathetic of him to run away all his life.

All his life...

He...

didn't just run away.

What is this?

I've looked for information about Park Il Do...

to find out if he really existed,

why he became a ghost,

and why he killed his mother and wife.

I went around the country, looking for every man with that name.

Everyone including the dead and the living.

I wanted to know whether he was a dead ghost or a living person.

But...

there's...

no Park Il Do.

Such a person never existed.

That punk...

wasn't human from the beginning.

Park Il Do...

didn't exist.

He wandered around all over the country.

Your father...

suffered as well.

He suffered?

No, he ran away from the suffering.

He abandoned his old father and his little son.

My grandpa hovers around the front door every night,

just in case he'll return.

I haven't had such an idea at all up until now,

but if his name is Park Il Do,

it means he really was human.

It doesn't matter.

We just have to find him out and get rid of him.

We have to know something to find him.

Didn't you hear anything more when you were little?

No.

Among people in my hometown and my relatives,

that name was a taboo word.

I should go investigate some more in your hometown.

He ran away...

and wasted all his life, doing useless stuff. How pathetic.

He should've gotten rid of the ghost, Park Il Do,

instead of the person, Park Il Do.

He must not have been able to do that...

because he thought...

his own son was Park Il Do.

Hey.

He couldn't get rid of the ghost because it was his own son?

He tried to strangle me to death...

on that day 20 years ago.

Saying I was the ghost,

he actually tried to kill me.

I'll go.

I'm too drunk.

Why that...

He only drank soju without eating his meal.

I'll take him home.

Okay.

Thank you.

You don't even have water at home?

There's no water.

There's neither water nor money. There's nothing.

You live alone,

so take care of yourself a little.

Mind your own business first.

I know you live alone too.

Punk, why did he buy all these when he's poor himself as a priest?

Don't move.

What is it?

Ta-da.

Your dad bought it to me this time. Isn't it pretty?

We got married with silver wedding rings,

and he bought me a new one this time.

What's this green thing here? It's not pretty.

It's something called emerald.

It's my birth stone.

I told you not to move.

There's a huge one in your ear.

You aren't my son.

You're a ghost.

- Die. - Dad...

I can go alone.

You're busy.

I am.

I can go because it's a day off after working overnight.

Yun Hwa Pyung wouldn't go with you, so I should go.

But would we be able to find it?

The town's people don't like Yun Hwa Pyung.

It'd be...

easier for us to obtain information on Park Il Do.

The first victim of Park Il Do possession is in that town?

Yun Hwa Pyung heard about it when he was young.

We need to find that out first.

Sure.

Let's stop the town's people and ask them.

We'll probably find something.

Hello. Can I ask you some questions?

We're searching for legend of this town.

It's about Park Il Do.

Why?

I don't know.

I don't know. Move.

Go away.

You ask me about something weird you picked up.

We don't know much about it.

You should ask that old man over there.

He'd know.

Who is that?

There's a man who lives alone.

He doesn't even come to the senior center.

He's a weird old man who lives alone.

Over there.

It's Yun Hwa Pyung's grandfather. What do we do?

Going after Park Il Do is a secret.

Let's not mention Yun Hwa Pyung.

Because I live in country,

no one visits me.

I have one grandson, but he barely visits me.

Sit down.

One for the police officer and one for the priest.

What do you want to know about this town?

Actually...

I'd like to learn about Park Il Do.

Is that it?

I have a reason to know.

Get out. Get out of my house.

The villagers said you know about Park Il Do.

I beg you.

Who says that? They deserve to be struck by lightning.

Don't mention that evil name carelessly,

and leave immediately.

- I said, leave. - Priest Choi Sang Hyun.

You know him.

What?

Priest Choi Sang Hyun...

who came for your grandson's possession.

I'm his brother.

I'm after Park Il Do.

I've heard...

about that family.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I heard...

a man possessed by Park Il Do jumped to the sea...

and died in the past.

I want to know if he really existed,

and who he was.

If you're talking about him,

I've seen him in person.

My goodness.

That was 60 years ago.

I can never forget it.

Why won't you die?

You've been alive for days.

He wouldn't even die.

He was floating in water for days...

staring at people.

It's a ghost. It's a ghost.

It wasn't a human.

Who's that man?

Is he originally from here?

No.

He suddenly showed up in our town one day,

and killed people.

As people went after him,

he stabbed his own eye and jumped into water.

Then he floated in water for days...

and endured it.

Is he the first man...

possessed by Park Il Do?

I'm not sure.

I wanted to find out what Park Il Do is...

to save my grandson...

by all means.

In the end,

the family of the man who jumped into the water was the only key,

so I searched everywhere.

Then I finally found out his name...

and where his family lived.

Here.

In the end, it was useless.

My family...

was scattered.

I feel sorry for Yun Hwa Pyung.

For meeting his grandfather without letting him know.

Yun Hwa Pyung's past...

The more I find out, the more he went through.

I even blamed him thinking it was just us.

By the way, Park Il Do killed people...

since 60 years ago.

Why would Park Il Do do that?

What's his purpose?

Evils don't have a purpose.

They just enjoy humans' pain.

People who are dead. People possessed by Park Il Do.

Even us who are chasing after him.

We're all part of the ghost Park Il Do's play.

He will continue to kill people.

We must stop that.

Okay. The first victim possessed by Park Il Do,

is his name Lee Chul Yong?

Let's search him first.

We're looking for Lee Chul Yong...

who lived here 60 years ago.

How weird.

That's so long ago.

I know it's a long ago,

but is it possible...

It's been too long.

But,

I still remember it all.

Do you remember?

Lee Chul Yong.

The crazy man who said he's the ghost Park Il Do.

I...

recognized him.

I was right.

I was playing in the yard,

and I could hear them talking.

Don't. Leave me alone.

Go away.

Come and join me.

Get out.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Stop.

I'm Park Il Do.

He said he's Park Il Do.

And...

he committed something horrible.

What happened to his family?

He had a wife and son my age.

After he died in the sea,

they...

left the town quietly at night.

Do you remember anything else?

Their son always bragged...

that his father was...

actually a driver for someone high up in Seoul.

He used to drive for many Japanese too.

Do you know where his family went?

I don't know.

All I know is, the name of the son in that family...

What was it?

It's Sang Chul. Lee Sang Chul.

There was a man who asked me the same question 20 years ago.

He said his son was possessed by a spirit named Park Il Do.

But that man suddenly...

disappeared.

Good night, everyone.

- See you tomorrow. - Good night.

Good night.

Stop drinking so much and head on home.

Okay, good night.

What the?

What are you doing here again?

You told the employment agency not to give me any work, didn't you?

Goodness.

It's because you stink at your work.

Get lost.

You took my money too.

I know my daily wage was lower than the others.

You pocketed my money.

I told you it was a commission.

- You jerk. - Are you insane?

You little punk.

Stop, wait.

- Who are you? - Me?

That man's son.

If you ever do this again, I'll make you pay.

It's a misunderstanding. He hit me first...

Get up. What are you doing?

Go away!

Please stop it now.

Stop running away!

What's wrong with you? I'm your son!

Let go of me!

You are not my son.

You are...

Park Il Do.

Please, get a grip.

Look me in the eye.

Do you still think I'm possessed?

You were there too.

20 years ago, when Priest Choi came to see us,

Park Il Do moved into his body.

- You said you saw it! - No.

Priest Choi is not Park Il Do.

I told you I'm right.

- You have to trust me. - No!

Priest Choi is not Park Il Do.

He's just a possessed man...

that Park Il Do is controlling.

What?

Your turn is next.

Run away from your son.

What do you mean?

Park Il Do has called for me.

Park Il Do is...

in your home.

- Are you sure you heard right? - Yes.

I heard it right.

I still remember clearly.

Park Il Do...

did not move into Priest Choi's body.

Park Il Do is still...

inside you.

You're the one who possessed Priest Choi.

- Yes. - Where are you?

I'm at Gyeyangjin with Detective Kang.

We're going to find out about Park Il Do.

Listen. I just met my father.

Your brother...

Priest Choi wasn't possessed by Park Il Do.

- It was just an inferior spirit. - What do you mean?

I thought Park Il Do moved out of my body, but it wasn't true.

Why? What is it?

He said my brother wasn't possessed by Park Il Do.

You said it moved into your brother's body...

when he went to exorcize Hwa Pyung.

Tell me more specifically.

Father Yang and your brother came to see me that day.

After that, I regained vision in my right eye and got better.

I thought it moved into your brother's body, but it wasn't true.

Besides Father Yang and my brother,

who else was there?

My grandfather and father.

Then...

I'll check with the person who was there that day.

Open the door, I have something to tell you.

How did you know I was here?

Go away.

Go away!

Just open this door. I have something to ask you.

If you keep coming near me,

I'm going to die.

I'm going to die!

I can't stand living like this.

I'd rather kill myself than letting you kill me.

Okay. I'll leave.

Just tell me one thing.

20 years ago, when two priests came to see me,

was there anyone else at home?

No.

It was just the two priests, my son, my grandson, and me.

Then what happened after the priests left?

Nothing happened.

Father...

and I just stared at you, dumbfounded.

There was nothing we could do.

You mean the three of us were in that room all that time?

No. After the priests left,

I went out too.

I went to a relative's house nearby to talk.

I was afraid to leave the young child alone,

so I told my son to look over him.

I was worried that my grandson...

might poke his own eye.

Then the only ones left were your son and your grandson.

That's right. I wasn't there.

My son and grandson were the only ones left at home.

Let's have a talk.

Inside the house were you, me,

and your grandpa. It was just the three of us.

We were sitting in the room,

and your grandpa suddenly called me outside.

He said this could not go on.

An evil spirit has taken over our family.

We must end this.

End it? End what?

If that demon stays inside Hwa Pyung's body,

our family and...

this whole village will be in danger.

Since I can't ask someone else,

you have to be the one to do it.

What?

What are you talking about?

That day, when I...

strangled your neck...

it was because your grandpa told me to.

He said we had to get rid of Park Il Do.

Your grandpa ordered me to do it.

It's my grandson.

Yes, it's me.

Did you eat...

What? What does that mean?

20 years ago,

is it true you ordered my dad to kill me?

What?

What? What did you just say?

That night, when Dad strangled me,

you stopped him.

But Dad said...

that you ordered him to do it!

Your dad?

Wait, did you meet your dad?

Where is he right now?

Answer me. Is it true?

No, I never said anything like that.

Where is he?

Is he with you?

Hello?

Hwa Pyung. Hello?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

I've told you everything I know.

Please leave.

Can we ask you a few more things?

Just leave.

I told you, just leave!

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.

You still can't reach Yun Hwa Pyung?

His phone is turned off.

What happened between him and his grandfather?

I don't know.

I'll look for the possessed man's son in Seoul tomorrow...

and let you know.

You were here.

Hwa Pyung.

I've been looking for Park Il Do all these years,

and I've had no doubt.

What are you talking about?

Neither Park Hong Joo...

nor your brother was Park Il Do.

After Father Yang and your brother left,

there were my grandpa and dad.

It must be either of them.

Something is wrong.

Your grandfather said...

he was away from home that night.

What?

I went to Gyeyangjin today.

I ran into your grandfather there.

You ran into him?

Did he talk about that day?

That night,

he was at a relative's house.

You and your dad were left home.

But my dad said there were the three of them.

They're saying different things.

One of them must be lying.

Is the one who is lying...

Park Il Do?

Hello.

Why did you do that?

Geun Ho.

Why?

I tried to get rid of Park Il Do.

Why did you stop me?

You told me to do it.

What are you talking about? Where are you right now?

You didn't fall for him, did you?

If you didn't, run away.

You'll be possessed too.

You saw that young priest, didn't you?

You're in danger.

I said, where are you?

Your brother...

was possessed by an inferior spirit, not Park Il Do himself?

Hwa Pyung's father was...

the last person to see my brother 20 years ago.

While possessed,

my brother told him that...

Park Il Do was...

still in his house.

Do you mean Hwa Pyung's house?

When you visited that house with my brother 20 years ago,

did you notice anything strange?

About Hwa Pyung's grandfather or father.

I'm not sure.

It was such a long time ago. I don't remember anything particular.

You've never met them since that day?

No.

That was the first and last time I visited that house.

I see.

Yoon.

The last people that kid saw that day were...

me,

his grandfather, and his father, right?

Then you should suspect everyone.

Including me.

Hwa Pyung as well.

Hwa Pyung too?

Once...

a demon aims at someone, it never stops...

until it takes hold of that person's soul.

Be careful, Mateo.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

What?

Sir.

Hi. You're here.

Do you know where my grandpa is?

His phone was left home.

Gosh. He must be there again.

At the bus terminal.

What? Why would he go there?

What do you mean?

He probably wants to take a bus to Sangyong City.

Sangyong City?

He doesn't like long rides. He gets carsick.

He's changed. He travels far from time to time these days...

to meet someone.

Who?

I have no idea.

How did you find me?

Father.

Why are you here?

You shouldn't have said that...

to him.

You shouldn't have...

said that.

Father.

I'd love to see where you live,

but I hate car rides.

- Hello. Who... - Where are you?

We need to meet right now.

Father?

How did you get my number?

I just asked Father Choi's brother.

You're at your grandpa's place?

- He's with me. - What?

Come here right now.

I found out who Park Il Do is.

Are you Mr. Lee Sang Chul's family?

Has Mr. Lee ever...

lived in Gyeyangjin?

Okay.

Hello.

- Is this Mr. Lee Sang Chul? - Yes.

I'd like to ask you something.

Have you ever lived in Gyeyangjin?

Your father's name is Lee Chul Yong, right?

He was in Gyeyangjin in 1958.

I heard he was...

possessed by Park Il Do then.

I know it's hard...

for you to talk about it again.

What do you know?

I know.

I lost my family to Park Il Do.

I'm looking for Park Il Do.

Please tell me everything you know.

I've seen him.

- You've seen him? - I saw him...

before he became a spirit.

Yoon.

I met the son of the man who was possessed...

by Park Il Do 60 years ago.

He told me who Park Il Do was before he died.

What did he say?

Let's meet first.

Hwa Pyung isn't picking up his phone.

Where is he?

Father.

Come in.

Hwa Pyung.

You're all grown up.

I'm sorry...

for leaving you.

You went through so much as a kid...

and lost your mom.

And I disappeared too.

- Why are you saying that... - It wasn't you.

You're not Park Il Do.

Father.

I had no idea.

I shouldn't have kept saying those things to you.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

How did you find out?

It's because...

Park Il Do is...

your grandpa.

What?

He came to me.

Remember?

Your grandpa never went out of Gyeyangjin.

Even when I ran away from home as a kid,

he couldn't come find me.

And now...

he came all the way here.

He's...

changed.

Where is he right now?

I don't know.

As soon as I saw him, I scared him away with this.

He ran away today,

but he'll come back.

Yes.

We have to run away. Hwa Pyung.

You and I need to run away.

Let's pack our stuff.

Was Grandpa really here?

How did he find this place?

Spirits can find us even if we're hiding.

We have to run away.

If we get caught this time, it'll be my turn.

I get it. Please calm down.

Are you in there? There's a call for you.

I don't want to answer it!

It's urgent. Answer it right now.

Hwa Pyung.

Let me go answer the phone.

Wait here just a second.

Speaking.

Hello?

Who is it?

Hey. It's getting a bit long.

Did you get a job? Can you pay the rent now?

I can't wait any longer.

I'll report to the police!

Hello.

Hello?

Father.

It's your fault.

It's all your fault.

When did you get possessed?

Since when?

You killed my mom.

And my wife.

Because of you, my family...

You should have died...

20 years ago.

Father.

He's been hiding all his life.

Park Il Do got to him because I found him.

Come to the police station right now.

You're being suspected of murdering the inn owner.

I have to find my father. He might die.

Where is he?

If he's possessed, he must have gone to someone else.

He'll go to Hwa Pyung.

He'll try to finish what he failed to finish that day.

We have to find him...

and stop him.
