White Christmas
Episode 4
A private high school secluded in the mountains of Gangwon-do.
The 8 day winter vacation had begun.
The school was snowed in. 7 students and a teacher remained.
The teacher got a letter too.
They all received the same letter.
But the letter we received wasn't a letter. It was a suicide note.
And it was from last year.
We had all taken a bite and killed someone.
We can't find the teacher.
There.
Evil rolled itself in the snow and came after us.
And...
The story I'm going to tell is about my fight with a monster.
[Episode 4] [In front of two mirrors facing each other, a devil jumps out.]
I had to become a monster myself for 8 days to fight it.
[12-27 5:58 PM]
Is he dead?
I'd put that back down if I were you.
They'll probably inspect the crime scene and check for fingerprints later.
Is he really dead?
It snowed before dawn.
The teacher must've died before then.
Calculating the time when the cooler stopped and the computers shut down...
The computer must have been broken around the same time.
Sometime between midnight and sunrise this morning...
Someone killed the teacher and cut us off from the rest of the world.
Why? Who?
Cameraman Yang. Yang Kang Mo!
Let's get down there as fast as we can.
The cafeteria is really the safest place.
What is it?
Where did you all go?
It's like a horror movie here.
All this food and no one around...
The radio playing by itself...
What's with you guys? Is something wrong?
Did you see a ghost?
Something like that...
Really? What?
I don't know what it was, but you must have witnessed it as a group.
You all look so pale.
-Are you taking that with you? -Yeah, I feel like I'll choke here.
I was talking about the knife.
I had something to tell you, but I guess now is not the time.
See you later.
Geez... He's so creepy.
I swear, I'll...
You still don't think it's him?
Discretion? Forget discretion.
Just look where it's gotten us.
You saw him with the knife. Did we see a ghost?
We saw a body, you crazy fool.
What are you going to do about it, Park Moo Yul?
What do you want me to do?
Let's get him first. Yang Kang Mo's a murderer.
He killed the teacher. He could kill us all.
We have to get him first.
Do you really think he did it?
You idiot.
It's either number one or number two. If it's not one, then it must be two.
It was either the teacher or Yang Kang Mo.
If one of them is dead, who do you think it is?
You're so polite now that he's dead. You always addressed him informally.
You're going to eat?
Aren't you?
Wow! Look at you.
It looks like it's going to be a long night. We need the energy.
It's probably best that everyone eat something.
40 °C.
If it goes over 41 °C, he could experience brain damage.
-Do we have any fever reducers? -He can't swallow them.
Try crushing it and stirring it into a glass of water then.
And this.
Take it.
Do you think I can stab him?
If Yang Kang Mo comes, do you think I can do it?
Would you be able to do it?
I will if I have to.
Pick one.
Four people should be enough.
I'll stay here.
Let's go.
I'll be back.
Don't forget.
Our aim's to catch Yang Kang Mo, not to kill him.
-We'll see about that. -Jo Young Jae!
How can you be humane in this situation?
Let's see how you'll feel with a knife at your side.
Yang Kang Mo! We're here to see you!
Cameraman Yang!
We're going in!
Yang Kang Mo.
Yang Kang Mo, turn around.
What's in his hand?
Turn around!
I'm counting to 3.
1...
2...
3!
Stop, Jo Young Jae!
I'm sorry, buddy.
My back...
-I'll kill you. -Forgive me, buddy.
Whatever.
Cameraman Yang, so you're hiding, aren't you?
Stay hidden, cameraman Yang!
You're dead if I catch you!
-Do you think he'll be okay? -He's just scared.
The cowards are usually the most violent.
Hello.
[Direction to the School Gate]
[3-4-2010 Clock Tower Completion] [3-1-2010 School Gate Completion] [12-25-2009 Kim Jin Su's Suicide Attempt] [1-19-2010 Kim Jin Su's Death] [*Note: written in the order it appears]
How could they not let us know?
Mad Mi Reu has been hacking the security cameras.
They knew that and have been enjoying the footage all by themselves.
-We never enjoyed anything. -Shut it!
How can you hack into the system without Internet access?
You can as long the security computer is on.
-Where's Yang Kang Mo? -We lost him.
Don't worry. We're about to destroy him.
I'll be at the lab.
-Why? -To make a rescue signal.
There have been a lot of helicopters flying around recently.
It will be faster than trying to walk out of here.
-We have a patient too. -Ingredients?
I've got enough.
Aren't you scared?
Yang Kang Mo is walking around with a knife.
You look like the most dangerous person to me right now.
Whatever, you fool.
-It's dangerous alone. -Want to come with me?
Got him.
Cameraman Yang!
Yang Kang Mo!
Hey!
Put your leg over here.
Who are you?
-A soldier? -No.
A spy then?
Get me some tape.
Is this a rescue signal?
No. I need something else before then.
-What? -An electric shock device.
I don't want to make it too strong.
Where will you use that?
On you.
Why did you send the letters?
Come out.
Cameraman Yang, Come out.
I'd come out if I were you.
Cameraman Yang.
Where are you?
Yang Kang Mo.
Cameraman Yang!
For such a terrible school, this place is annoyingly big.
How did you know?
All the evidence points to you.
For example?
The letter writer changed Kim Jin Su's words a little.
The bit about his sins and the passages he found strange.
'Walk up the path by the zelkova tree. Under the clock tower,
you will someone dead.''
I think this is how it was written originally.
''Walk up the path by the zelkova tree. Stand in front of the gates.
You will see someone dead.''
Isn't that right? synced by riri13
You can't see the east wing from the current gates.
But Kim Jin Su fell from the east wing and died.
You must've thought that was strange.
So you changed it to under the clock tower.
When Kim Jin Su died, the gates were more to the left.
The current gates and clock tower were built right after he died.
Having transferred in 2nd year, you're the only one who doesn't know that.
That's right.
I read Kim Jin Su's diary...
It wasn't a suicide note. It was a diary.
His last diary entry.
I thought it was strange when I read it.
He fell from the east wing.
I could only see the south wing from the gates.
I should've just left it.
Maybe it's because I'm a science major, but things like that really bother me.
You're a science major?
We're in the same class.
Are we?
Admission to Susin High School.
That was my mom's long term project.
Elementary school grade 3, 4, 5, 6.
Middle school 1, 2, 3.
A total of 7 years.
But I didn't pass the exams.
My mom wouldn't even eat. She would just cry.
Like the world was over.
My mom told me to repeat a year, but my dad put me into a regular school.
You may not believe me, but I was the smartest kid there.
The other kids would ask me for answers after exams.
But since coming here, I've become a nobody.
Everyone around me is like a monster.
I've wondered whether I was a ghost.
Friends, friendship?
Does any of that exist here?
It may be the same everywhere else...
But then I saw it...
The diary of the boy who used the room before me.
Kim Jin Su.
He died so I was accepted here.
He was overshadowed and didn't fit in.
He would walk around all day without looking anyone in the eye.
No one talked to him and he had no one to talk to either.
His sad and lonely diary.
But I could empathize with his pain.
It was like it was happening to me.
None of you even knew whether he was here or not...
Whether he was even dead or alive.
So I wanted to let you all know.
His pain.
My pain.
Do you understand?
No.
I didn't expect you to.
You don't even recognize a person you had class with for a year.
Is that a bad thing?
I don't know.
But I didn't kill the teacher.
I didn't break the computers either.
I know. You didn't have the time to do that.
You were with Park Moo Yul last night. He told me that.
Give me the gloves.
For what?
To make the rescue signal.
Who do you think killed the teacher?
If Yang Kang Mo had nothing to do with the letters, it could be anyone.
Are you going to tell the others that I sent the letters?
Do you think I should?
They'd probably hunt you down.
You just saw him? Are you sure he came in here?
You saw him too.
Geez. We should recharge it and carry it around.
See him?
I still go rock climbing and I boxed for about three years.
That's why you came here all alone? To rock climb?
To climb ice.
Here.
-Tell me about your school. -My school?
The roads to the village are totally blocked.
We may experience a 2nd or 3rd snowstorm.
We have to go to your school.
Can't you stop that noise?
You're so obvious.
You can't even hold still for a second.
You're clearly scared to death.
Yang Kang Mo, that heartless jerk.
You wanted to die so badly that you slit your wrists.
He should've killed you and not the teacher, don't you think?
Yang Kang Mo says you're next.
Oh my, doesn't your hand hurt?
If you want to die so badly, keep talking and I'll help you.
Wow, thanks. I'll be sure to leave word of your kindness as my dying message.
I'll write it with my bloody fingers. The plague.
-Stop it both of you! -She started it.
-I'm going to my room. -Yoon Eun Sung!
Rain...
Ajusshi.
It can't rain... I have to take down the laundry.
A rooster pinwheel goes round and round on top of a red roof
White clothes on the laundry line...
Mom takes a nap...
She takes a long, long nap...
It can't rain.
It can't rain, the rain...
Geez.
Get some ice from the cafeteria. As much as you can find.
If there's none, go and break some icicles.
Get Choi Chi Hoon and Lee Jae Kyu on your way back.
Sodium nitrate.
Don't move.
Yang Kang Mo!
Why are you doing this to me? Has everyone gone crazy?
The plague tried to bust my head open...
Okay fine. But Park Moo Yul too?
What did I do? Is this because I took photos of Eun Sung?
Is that a crime worthy of death?
Is he dead?
You think I killed him? How? He was a judo athlete.
Anyway, he's dead. One of us killed him.
I don't believe it.
-Park Moo Yul wants you. -Why?
The doctor's talking nonsense. It's driving us nuts.
I'll be there in a minute.
-He'll probably kill me one day. -There's a way.
Whether you did it or not, you can be safe.
-Carry him into the tub. -What if he has a heart attack?
-It's dangerous. -My dad taught me how to do this.
It's for patients that can't take a fever reducer.
Your dad's a doctor.
What should we do then? We can't just wait.
Let's just do it.
Okay 1, 2, 3.
Tell me when it gets to 3 minutes.
3 minutes!
41.5 °C.
41,5 °C? Then it's gone up.
All your showing off is useless.
-I'll take responsibility! -How?
How? What has gone right since we started listening to you?
If we had caught Yang Kang Mo earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess.
I found Yang Kang Mo.
What happened? Did you surrender, cameraman Yang?
Is that what you call trying to escape from a crazy dog?
To be honest, if there was a murderer out of the 7 of us, wouldn't it be you?
You have the closest profile to a criminal.
You're violent, cowardly and dirty.
What makes you think you're so safe?
Living organisms evolve? Yeah right.
How are you any different from a witch hunter?
Is this Choi Chi Hoon's idea?
Park Moo Yul.
I'm really disappointed in you.
Choi Chi Hoon! What do you think you're doing?
Did you lock him up or are you protecting him?
The guy you think is guilty is locked up. So you're safe.
Isn't that enough?
-What? -What's the problem?
You wanted to bash his brains out, but you can't now?
Where did it all go wrong?
Park Moo Yul.
Do me a favor.
Show Eun Sung the photos I took of her.
She saw them. You were there.
Properly. Without getting your emotions involved.
It's not difficult.
If you do me this favor, I'll forgive you for hunting me.
Being in the girls' dorm at this hour...
Do you know how many points against you that is?
If you added up all my negative points, I'd be expelled anyway.
What do you want?
Here.
-Look at it once more. -I did.
Properly.
Please.
Eun Sung.
Eun Sung, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Stop looking at it.
Yoon Eun Sung.
Are you okay?
It's just...
I think I was happy back then.
I didn't know anything. I smiled.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to smile like that again.
Thank you.
Tell Yang Kang Mo that I said thanks.
How is he?
I don't know, but he keeps sweating.
When someone has a fever, sweating is a good sign.
Has his temperature gone down?
Jae Kyu! He's going to live!
Not that... Mom. Mom... It's not me. Mom...
I'm giving it back to you.
She said thanks.
She told me to tell you that.
I looked at them again too.
I don't know much about photography,
but I can tell you really like her.
The photographer really liked his subject.
Why didn't you ever tell her?
Eun Sung always photographs well, in every situation, from every angle.
When she's mad, irritated, when she has no expression...
It's because she enjoys the moment.
Whether she's sad, mad... whatever.
She doesn't care about what others think of her like I do.
This is my favorite photo of her.
Why didn't I ever confess my feelings for her?
The Eun Sung that I like best...
Is the Eun Sung that's with you.
A throw over?
Throw over...
Are you alright?
Yes. I have no strength, but I feel good.
Yesterday was so...
I'll get you some food.
-The doctor's awake. -The porridge is just about ready.
About the teacher... I think he was stabbed from below.
The criminal may have blood on their clothes.
How's the doctor?
37 °C. Have you finished making the signal?
Yes, I'm going to try it out in a bit.
Yoon Eun Sung!
What are you doing?
Why did he take it out?
The knife.
They usually leave the knife in the body, like in the movies.
If they take it out, it's because they want to hide the weapon.
Why would he take the knife out and leave it beside the victim?
I'll help you.
Is it that bad?
Yes, a little...
We should be able to make off-campus contact soon. Hang in there.
I heard the phone lines were down.
We made a rescue signal.
That smells good.
The Chun Cheon Girl's High School murder is a serial killing.
The murderer is still on the run.
The police noticed that a car had fallen of a cliff.
The murderer killed an officer and drove away.
Is it that bad?
Look. As soon as he saw me, he threw me over and brought me here.
Are you okay? I thought you were dying last night.
-I thought so too. -Your temperature was at 41.5 °C.
They say you can get brain damage over 41 °C.
You're really lucky.
You weren't hurt in the car accident either.
Yes. I guess I'm lucky.
-Where are you going? -To get some exercise.
Don't overdo it. You don't want to get sick again.
Now that time has passed, I'm trying to explain what happened.
In a weird twist of fate, everything changed for the worse.
Even the person who started it all had no control over it.
It's because two mirrors were stood face to face.
Darkness shines on darkness to create another darkness.
A monster appears from the two facing mirrors.
And another uncontrollable darkness is formed.
Put that down.
As you can see, I'm a mess.
I'm tired and I've lost patience.
I'll tell you one more time.
Put that down.
It was a doppelganger.
I met another version of me, who would die after we had faced each other.
Okay! To a place where hot baths and coffee await... To paradise!
