EPISODE 9
Will Hwang Dae-du really show up?
What will happen to me when you get rid of him?
Are you afraid?
What if I refuse to leave this body?
Then I guess Detective Kang's soul...
will perish.
Two souls cannot coexist in one body.
I guess you liked that guy, Pil-seong, very much.
Every time I see you, my heart aches
regardless of my will.
It's probably because of his soul.
Don't worry. I won't throw a tantrum, refusing to leave.
Back to Hwang Dae-du... He won't let us catch him easily.
We have to brace ourselves.
SPICY FISH STEW, SEA HARE SALAD, ANCHOVY SASHIMI SALAD
He should show up any minute now.
But today may not be the day.
Today is exactly a week after the last murder,
and I'm certain that he'll stick to the schedule.
Since he's such a control freak, not abiding by his own deadlines
will make him feel as if he lost the game.
We have exactly four hours left.
We must stay as focused and alert as possible.
Ji-suk, tidy up and organize everything before you leave.
I'm off.
I will, ma'am. Get home safely.
Yes, honey.
I'm almost done. I'll head home shortly.
I just finished the last delivery job. I'm heading home now.
-What about Eun-ji, then? -I just spoke to her.
She had cup noodles. She's doing homework.
I'll leave now. See you in a bit.
-All right. See you shortly. -Okay.
Gosh, that totally startled me.
Goodness, Hyeon-ok kills me.
I told her not to forget to close the back door.
I don't get it.
He didn't make use of the best time and location where he could kill her.
There are less than two hours left until midnight.
What if we were wrong?
Look at that.
Kim Nak-cheon...
They evoked Kim Nak-cheon's spirit.
Things will get very interesting.
Something's gone wrong.
What should we do?
I should go inside.
Who is it?
The police.
-How can I help you? -Oh, hello.
KANG PIL-SEONG
We received a report of a missing kid, so we're conducting a door-to-door search.
Oh, I see.
My gosh, the kid's family must be very worried.
Dad, what's taking you so long?
A burger? Really?
Okay, Mom and I will meet you there shortly.
Mom! Dad will buy us burgers. He wants us to meet him there.
Why would you eat a burger right before bed?
Gosh, I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I hope you find that kid soon.
Yes, thank you.
Everything is okay, right?
-Pardon me? -Nothing. Never mind.
Keep your door locked.
And call the police if you see anyone who looks suspicious.
-Sure, I will. -Good.
Bye.
Oh, boy.
Hi, honey. What's taking you so long? We're already here.
Come out through the rear entrance. I'm in the car.
I already bought the burgers.
We're not eating here?
Let's go to the park
where we used to go on dates and eat inside the car.
My goodness.
What's gotten into you, mister?
All right.
Your dad wants us to come out. We'll eat outside.
What if he's found out that we figured out his next victim?
Even if he has, he'll still do whatever it takes to kill her.
There are less than 30 minutes left.
When you were at her place,
did you sense anything odd?
No.
Mom! Dad will buy us burgers. He wants us to meet him there.
Why would you eat a burger right before bed?
As for his abilities...
what exactly can he do with them?
What?
Changing his voice, for example.
Is he capable of such a thing?
I think...
he is.
He can totally do it if he's absorbed the person's soul.
Hwang Dae-du is in there!
Detective Kim!
Enjoy.
All right, let's go.
His car is right here.
Dad!
Let's get in the car.
Why are you wearing a mask?
Honey.
Where shall we go
to eat our burgers?
Kim Nak-cheon...
That young shaman lady is more competent than I thought she'd be.
Damn it!
Kim Nak-cheon...
How shall I toy with you?
I'm going to make you experience
the real pain.
Hello?
Why did you do that?
You lost the game even though you had figured out the answer.
You got Do Ji-suk's family killed.
Hwang Dae-du.
Still, I should compliment you on figuring out the answer.
Hwang Dae-du, where are you?
You should've taken Do Ji-suk
to a safe place when you figured out the answer.
More people died because you tried to use that useless brain of yours.
But that kid...
You really should not have killed her daughter.
You're usually not like that.
Have you given up on your pride now?
It sounds like you've studied a lot about me.
Or...
did Kim Nak-cheon come back to life?
The midterm exam is over now, so take a breather.
You should get ready for the final exam.
And tell the shaman lady standing next to you that I said hi.
Hey, Hwang Dae-du.
Hwang Dae-du!
Hey, Hwang Dae-du!
Come out, you bastard!
Pull over for a second.
Why?
The door to Hell
is opening up.
Aren't you going to come in?
Hwang Dae-du won't let us catch him.
We're bound to lose this game.
That bastard takes pleasure in others' fear.
You can't let him get to you.
What would Kang Pil-seong have done?
At least he wouldn't have given up...
this easily.
You're the ones who summoned me.
You got me involved because the two of you fear him!
Do you want to go back?
Shall I help you return?
Pil-seong suggested invoking my spirit because of you.
What...
What do you mean?
I guess he hasn't told you.
Hwang Dae-du told Pil-seong what he could do
to put a stop to his killings once and for all.
He told Pil-seong to kill you
with his own two hands.
He was desperate, and he could not give up.
But I'm different.
I'm already dead, and I'm not desperate for anything.
More people will die as the game progresses,
and we'll gradually lose our minds.
Like the elk caught in a trap,
the more we try to get out of it, the more it'll suffocate us.
And just like that, all of us will die!
So if I die,
all problems will be solved.
Do you actually think this guy can kill you?
I felt Pil-seong's soul.
Even if this world turns into a horrid abyss that's worse than hell,
this guy will never be able to kill you.
You can do it for him, then.
I'm not afraid of death.
You're incredibly selfish, aren't you?
TO DETECTIVE KIM NAK-CHEON
Also, if you can feel my soul,
I'm sure you can sense who I'm in love with.
Please protect that woman.
If you ever get into a situation
where you must choose between her life and mine,
don't hesitate and save her life.
Do you actually think this guy can kill you?
Even if this world turns into a horrid abyss that's worse than hell,
this guy will never be able to kill you.
It may feel like a hassle,
but please put a fresh bowl of rice on the altar in my room
and burn incense every day.
You're a pretty one.
You must've been startled.
Pil-seong will come back soon.
The soul possessing his body right now isn't a bad man,
so don't be scared of him.
Come here.
You...
shouldn't be here.
This is your doing.
This girl didn't choose to end her life.
She must cross over before it's too late.
If you truly love your granddaughter,
you'll set her free now.
You should've died alone instead of dragging an innocent girl with you!
Don't mistake that feeling for love because it isn't.
If you truly love your granddaughter,
let her move on to a new life
and live out the happiness she was robbed of.
Sir, please.
SEIZED
SHELTER FOR THE UNFORTUNATE
INN
Where are you right now?
Detective Kang, can you hear me?
Detective Kang.
Mr. Kang Pil-seong.
Can't you hear me?
Judging from the reek of alcohol,
it seems like Nak-cheon fell asleep after a few drinks.
Come on in!
You seem like a different person.
Have a seat.
Other shoes aren't as comfortable as these.
We still haven't caught Hwang Dae-du.
Let's not talk about him.
I can feel everything anyway.
I'm worried sick about you.
Don't make it hard on me.
I missed you.
It's only been a few days, but I missed you like crazy.
Do you like me?
Am I that pretty?
I'm sorry to ruin the mood, but you're not exactly drop-dead gorgeous.
Loving me
can bring you misery.
Are you okay with that?
I am.
Now, what am I supposed to do?
You need to throw one.
Are you talking about gut?
Yes, gut.
Being quit-witted will get you far.
I hear that it costs a lot though.
Lady, what nonsense are you spewing?
Your husband will finally get promoted after four years,
and your precious son will get into a prestigious college.
How dare you say chump change isn't worth it?
I mean,
if only what you say comes true, then--
Wait, are you doubting me?
No, not exactly.
I won't force you. The choice is yours.
I will say this though.
Luck has made its way to your family this year.
A huge amount of luck is circling around your family.
However, a tiny amount of bad luck came along with it.
If you don't stop it while you can,
that huge amount of good luck will vanish into thin air.
Like you said, it's only a tiny amount of bad luck.
-Maybe the good luck can overpower it. -Nonsense!
So this is what it's like to talk to an ignorant soul.
Lady,
look closely.
Here are two liters of good luck.
Just like your ignorant mind thinks,
here is that tiny amount of bad luck. It's one or two grams at most.
Okay, fine. I'll do it. Perform the gut.
Wire a big one by the end of the day.
A big one?
A million won?
That ignorance of yours must've swallowed up a digit.
Wait... You mean, ten million won?
What's with the small bills? Just counting them is a nuisance.
How may I help you?
Goodness. You're my darling's friend.
What brings you by?
Are you here for a read?
Shit.
Everybody up! I'm closed for the day.
-Seriously? -But I've been waiting for hours!
-Your next read will be for free. -My gosh.
-Unbelievable. -I need it today though.
-Are you kidding me? -Good day.
Joy will find you today!
THE HOUSE WILL BE CLOSED FOR A WHILE
Those above entrusted you with a special ability.
However, this is what you choose to do with it.
I see you knew right off the bat.
The last time we met,
I could tell you were extraordinary,
but I didn't realize you were officially marked as a servant of God.
Using the powers given to you to make money
is a violation of the laws of Heaven.
Also, for a servant of God, loving someone
is an unforgivable sin.
Didn't you know that?
What will you do about Seung-kyung?
My lady,
I didn't choose to be born with this gift.
Meeting and falling in love with someone
is something beyond my control.
You probably won't understand.
I do.
Pardon?
You managed to open your business at a location full of spiritual energy.
Anyway, to what do I owe this pleasure?
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.
Is...
Is that true?
If we don't stop Hwang Dae-du,
an abysmal disaster will fall upon us.
I'm sure you know
that this must be kept between us.
Don't worry. No one would believe me anyway.
I had no idea that I'd be given such a responsibility.
I need your help.
If I help you sort out the matter,
will I be somewhat forgiven for violating the laws of Heaven?
-What? -Extenuating circumstances and all that.
"The house will be closed for a while"?
Gosh, look who it is. It's Señor Kang.
Mr. Kang.
You're straight up ignoring me.
Don't you remember me?
Do I know you?
I always knew you were a jerk,
but this is low even for you.
Look here, Mr. Kang Pil-seong.
If we're not acquaintances, I'd have to be a ghost
to know your name.
I'd feel something if you are someone Pil-seong knows,
but I don't.
That means you must be someone he doesn't want to remember.
Well, I can understand why.
Are you already drunk at this hour?
Why are you speaking in the third person?
What business do you have with my man?
You're ignoring me again.
-Darling, this is a surprise. -Señor Bae,
did you ask him here by any chance?
Oh, gosh.
The lady has already informed me.
Darling, we'll talk later.
Why are you closed for the day?
I'll tell you all about this later,
so can you excuse us today?
Are you kidding me?
Move!
-Honey, please. -Move.
Honey, you can't. Wait.
Seo-jeong, what are you doing here at this hour?
-Seung-kyung... -We should talk outside.
What were you two up to?
Did I just catch you cheating behind my back?
That's not it at all.
-Come on. I'll tell you outside. -No, wait!
No, let go!
Please come in.
I'll be staying here for the time being.
He's probably planning a new game already.
-More people will die. -We must catch him before that happens.
How?
We'll have to look into Seon Yang-woo.
Seon Yang-woo?
He's the one who summoned Hwang Dae-du's soul.
Hwang Dae-du possessed Seon Yang-woo,
but when Seon was discovered as a killer,
he deliberately chose to kill him off and jumped bodies.
According to you, a soul that left a body
must possess another body as soon as possible
since the soul's energy will perish if it doesn't.
If he planned on jumping bodies,
he would've already chosen his next host.
Then...
Seon Yang-woo died in the woods of Anpyeong.
That is where I captured Hwang Dae-du 24 years ago.
He's well acquainted with the area
which means that he would've looked into
the list of people he could possess next.
Still, that's a large area to cover.
Hwang Dae-du never acts randomly.
He's a control freak who must connect everything
and give them meaning.
Will we be able to...
find his next host?
ANPYEONG LIVESTOCK FARM, MOUNTAIN-34, ANIL-RI, SINDO-EUP, ANPYEONG-SI
I'm heading out to chase a lead.
Okay, sure. Good luck with that.
Hey!
What do you two think?
Even you think he's acting strange, right?
I do.
He came back a different man after his day off.
What do you think?
I have this feeling that he can be someone who looks like Pil-seong.
I'm not in the mood for jokes.
I think it's possible
that he completely lost it
after he worked on the Seon Yang-woo case.
-You think so too? -Yes.
This is a disaster.
The protocol is to write him up,
but how can I? My goodness.
Why don't we
drag him by force to the doctor?
Think about it though.
He used to be a total nutjob, but now he's acting normal.
Does that qualify as crazy?
I'm just so confused.
What do we do then?
Keep an eye on him without making it look obvious.
Him acting this way is making me agitated.
Damn it.
Hold on. Don't we have a soccer match with the Gangpo Violent Crimes Unit?
Right.
Nam-hyeon, don't ostracize Pil-seong
and try having a heart-to-heart with him.
Get to the root of the problem. All right?
-Sure. -Good.
Take a look at yourself.
You and I are no different.
Vacation homes?
BUILDING REGISTERS AND CADASTRE
I'd like the registration information of the vacation home complex
and the buildings around here.
There are three wonders of the world.
The wonders of makeup, the wonders of lighting,
and Pil-seong's poor ability at soccer.
Is he that bad?
The annual soccer match we will have with Gangpo Police Station tomorrow
is unlike any other game we play.
Our pride is on the line.
We've compiled a record of five wins and five losses over the past ten years.
You know by now that due to our close proximity,
we fight over jurisdiction with Gangpo Police Station often.
Last year, we were given the chance
to finally break the cycle of rivalry and lead the game score.
A goal to end the relatively boring score of zero to zero
was scored!
The man who shot it was the Son Heung-min of our station.
It was Detective Choe...
also known as me.
All right!
-Come on. -Pass!
Good!
-Shoot! -No!
-Shoot. -Go for it!
-Nam-hyeon! -Nam-hyeon!
What just happened?
-What's wrong? -Chief?
After that day,
the rumor of Chief losing his biological masculinity has passed
from one person to another like a legendary tale.
That's also when he started nagging me without any valid reason.
We had only one minute left.
If we had held out for one more minute, we could've won.
There's only one minute left. Don't do anything and just stay still.
-Pass it to me! -Over there! Dribble it.
-That's it. -Good.
Hey, all you have to do is to get the ball. Get it.
I never imagined I'd see a flawless pool skill from his kick.
Why did you do that?
Three seconds before the whistle,
with Pil-seong's header, the game was tied.
After the shoot-out,
our team lost.
What do we do? We only have 11 players this year.
We can't make him sit on the bench.
We might as well just think
that we've already been completely defeated.
Damn it.
Over here.
Great pass.
Here you go.
There you go.
Just stand still. Don't do anything and stay still.
I know you aren't doing anything, but try your best never to move.
If the opponent charges in, just push him to the ground.
You can pull his pants down.
Get a red card. That's your mission.
All right.
That little...
Detective Kang! You're our secret weapon.
Please score another goal today. I'm counting on you.
-Pass it to me. -Okay.
Give it to me. Pass it.
Get in there!
Go for it!
-Oh, no! -You can't kick it there.
-Go that way. -Hey!
-Shoot! -Damn it!
Hey, what was that?
-You told me to stand still. -How could you just stand still?
Why are you making a fuss when I did what you told me to do?
Gosh, since when have you listened to me?
You'll do whatever I say, right?
When you get the ball, get past the opponent with a body feint,
do the Marseille turn,
and shoot after cutting through the defense, all right?
I'll kill you if you don't do what I just told you to do.
Damn it.
This way!
Pass it to me! Hey!
-Hey. -To your back!
-That's it! Pass it! -Go past them!
This way!
Sir, what was that?
That's not Kang Pil-seong. I'm sure of it.

NAME: KIM JI-HANG
ADDRESS: SIYANG-GU, SEOUL
SIYANG-GU, SEOUL
You didn't have to come out.
Of course I have to.
You must be cold.
-Have a great day. -Okay.
My dear.
-See you later. -Okay.
-Go on inside. -Be careful all the time.
-I'll call you later. -Okay.
-Ji-hang. -Ji-hang.
-Cheer up. -Come on.
It happens all the time. Let's go drink now.
-Let's go have drinks. -Let's go.
Come on. Just forget about it.
Cheer up.
-Take it easy. -Slow down.
You know how Mr. Yun always acts like an asshole.
Don't mind him, Ji-hang.
She's right.
Didn't Mr. Yun hit on you as well?
He's infamous for that.
If he's rejected by the female employee he hit on,
he torments her until she quits.
What an asshole. This is so upsetting!
So what if he's the brother of the CEO?
-I know. -How annoying.
I will never hand my resignation letter to him.
I went through so much to get the job.
I have to pay back the loan I took out for the apartment.
I have to pay for my mom's leg surgery.
My mom...
spent all her life supporting me
and became ill.
She took laboring jobs and worked at restaurants.
She's never spent money on herself.
When I got this job,
my mom was over the moon.
I can't quit.
No matter who in the higher-ups...
tries to make me quit...
I won't quit.
Gosh, it's cold.
Ji-hang, you need to go that way, right?
-Get home safely, Ji-hang. -Yes, be careful.
-Cheer up. -I'll see you tomorrow.
I hope you just sleep it off.
-Bye. -See you.
What do you think you're doing, you punks?
Who are you?
You rude little punks.
Are you trying to pick a fight with a cop?
Darn it. Run!
It's dangerous to be alone out here. You should go home.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Are you a cop?
Can I sit down for a little while?
I can't walk because I feel so dizzy.
It's a dangerous world.
How could you drink until you became so wasted?
Do you live in this apartment?
Yes.
Call your family.
-What? -Hurry.
-Hello? -Hey, Mom. It's me.
-Hello? -Who is this?
Hello?
Don't be so startled. I'm a cop.
Your daughter's very drunk.
I think you should come to the playground and take her home.
Mom, don't worry. He's a cop.
I don't think she can walk home alone, so you should--
No, I can go home on my own.
My mom can't come because her leg hurts.
Hey, Mom.
I can go home on my own.
No, I'll be fine.
I'll be home soon. Okay, bye.
Thank you, sir. Sorry for the hassle.
Get on my back.
-Pardon? -Get on my back.
My dad's also a cop.
Well, he was a cop.
He was in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Cops must like carrying people on their backs.
My dad...
was very busy,
so I didn't get to see him that often when I was young.
My other friends went on trips with their dads.
And their dads even took them to amusement parks.
But on the other hand, there were times when my dad couldn't even come home.
Is it the same for you?
No.
Well, that's how it was with my dad.
And every once in a while,
he'd show up in front of my kindergarten
and carry me home on his back without saying much.
Back then,
I resented him for being like that.
But now that I think about it,
I think it was his way of apologizing to me.
From what I remember,
my dad was a very cold and boring man.
You must think I'm so weird.
I'm going home on a stranger's back,
and I'm telling him all sorts of things.
But this feels so weird.
It feels so comfortable as if I'm on my dad's back.
Did you ask for me, sir?
Did you eat lunch?
What's wrong? Did I upset you?
You won't be able to get by anywhere if you get upset
for getting scolded by your boss.
Why did you want to see me, sir?
You're very lucky, Ms. Kim.
I was going to give you an intense training,
but they want you dispatched.
Pardon?
You're in charge of the logistics server, right?
They want you to help them build a server.
You'll be there for three months.
You must drink a lot of drinking yogurt,
seeing that you managed to prolong your life here.
They want you there tomorrow.
You have an interview.
What's this?
It's ox bone soup.
What... What's all this?
It's what I do when I have trouble finding a clue.
It helps me find a connection between one case and another.
I don't get what you mean.
I wrote down everything I could find regarding the Seon Yang-woo case.
Starting from all the people that he murdered
to his hometown, friends, schools, and hobbies...
First, I lay down all the information I can find.
Then I need to gather information on where he died, the nearby houses,
and the nearby buildings and lay that out as well.
If I do that, I might be able to find a connection between some of the data.
Sometimes, simple methods work best.
Have you heard from Hwang Dae-du?
Don't you think he's been awfully quiet?
It's making me feel more nervous.
I'm worried he might be scheming something again.
Sir, the person who will be in charge of managing the logistics server is here.
Hello, sir.
My name is Kim Ji-hang.
Welcome.
I look forward to working with you.
My name is Oh Su-hyeok.

Someone's possessed his body.
I felt a strong murderous spirit.
We have to stop him.
That's too dangerous.
Hwang Dae-du knows who you are.
May I ask why you chose our company instead?
I chose you not the company.
When I look at you,
I can picture what your father must've looked like.
I'll tag along starting tomorrow.
Have you ever murdered anyone?
You'll be begging me to kill you.
I need to check which one is Hwang Dae-du myself.
