(All characters, organizations, places, and religions...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
I...
saw it. Just now.
What did you see?
Your sister.
The moment of her death.
My sister, Su In?
She was going to give you something.
If you're done, get lost.
You're in my way.
I told you not to shoot him.
Look at yourself.
Are you out of your mind?
This scumbag almost killed us. How can you say that?
He didn't even touch the trigger.
You were able to take him down without killing him!
Happy?
You guys saw it, right? He shot at us first.
You're tampering with the scene!
You are a passionate one, aren't you?
People might think that she's your wife or something.
You...
You little...
Let go of me!
Let go!
Clear out.
Get rid of him as well.
What were you going to tell me earlier?
A rabbit?
It looks like a duck as well.
The thing Su In wanted to give me is...
perhaps...
Anyway, I think it looked like an animal.
Take a good look, Jae In.
The other side of the truth.
Is this it?
It is. What is this?
Wittgenstein's duck-rabbit.
What does it look to you?
I thought it was a rabbit at first,
but now that I know about it, it looks like a duck too.
Once you see it as a rabbit, it's hard to see it as a duck.
People...
always believe in the first thing they see.
I did that as well.
Are you sure this is the picture you saw?
Was your father a police officer?
He was.
They passed away a long time ago.
Your sister must have been your only family.
Gosh, look at this dust.
You shouldn't live like this.
Did you run away from home for two years?
It's not like I'm an angsty teenager.
I was out of the house for a reason.
Did you really not come here once?
I couldn't.
- What about your rent? - This is my house.
You own a house in the middle of Seoul?
Look at this.
You have everything plugged in.
This is why you pay a ton for electricity bills.
Hey,
I'm having a very sad flashback right now.
Do you have a hard time sympathizing with people?
Health insurance.
Utilities.
Gas bill.
These things.
This is the reality you live in at the moment.
It's time for you to fight...
the reality, not your flashback.
I thought I was on his tail for two years,
but in reality, I was running for two years...
from my guilt.
It's not here. It's really gone.
What are you looking for? Let me help you.
The birthday present...
I bought her after she became a reporter.
Here's your birthday present.
What is it?
Oh, even a fountain pen.
You must have spent a lot.
Use it for work I guess.
(The Foundation of Love: A Man's Story)
A guidebook for romance?
Why? Are you trying to get me married?
I thought long and hard about what to get you,
but they don't sell new faces.
It's the duck-rabbit.
(Happy birthday. Since beautiful people die early,)
(you'll probably live long.)
- You little... - Hey, hey! Watch the camera.
This is your camera.
Gosh, you...
You must be really touched.
From a different angle,
the truth of the subject could change infinitely.
I hope you become the reporter that knows that.
Since then, she had it.
The book...
and her notebook as well.
Why would Han Sang Gu take...
It wasn't Han Sang Gu.
That was your sister?
No!
That was the only case, and the rest...
Someone was hiding behind Han Sang Gu.
But why did he take the notebook?
I need you to do me a favor. I need to go and check something.
(Media Company)
You were the closest to Su In, right?
She sat right next to me.
Before she died,
what story was she covering?
I'm not sure. It was so long ago, so I don't remember...
Oh, right.
She was looking for someone.
Someone?
- Hey. - What?
What would you have to do to find a missing child...
from 22 years ago?
22 years ago?
I think you'd need a miracle.
I'm serious.
Is that her?
Yes.
Do you think she's alive?
She's been missing for 22 years.
I'm going to try to find out...
if she's dead or alive.
You'll have to talk to the police officer who was in charge.
But why are you looking for a missing child?
I'll tell you the reason after I find her.
Maybe she could be like Pandora's Box.
This girl.
(50,000-dollar Reward)
Pandora's Box?
Who was she?
She had long hair, so I think it was a girl.
Anyway, after that she went to the countryside or something.
To where?
I gave you a call, right?
I need the footage of Han Sang Gu being transported.
Sure.
He knows he's being filmed.
Hurry. We have 30 minutes.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Goodness.
(Reporting Material)
There is a hidden truth...
in this case.
The girl Su In was looking for before she died.
And the missing notebook.
Is it because she was onto them?
Is that why they killed her?
(The real culprit?)
(Han Sang Gu)
From the beginning, Han Sang Gu was nothing but a pawn.
It wouldn't seem surprising if he killed one more person...
on his killing spree.
But...
how did they control the bloodthirsty serial killer?
(The DNA sample was switched.)
It was a deal.
(The police let the murderer go.)
It's Han Sang Gu's, right?
It's not his.
It wasn't a coincidence that they didn't get his DNA.
That day, on the phone,
they made a deal to let him go.
But he had come back after two years.
Han Sang Gu was looking for another victim,
so he must have been like a ticking time bomb.
If he spoke up, they would get in trouble.
That's why they got rid of him.
Don't shoot!
Popeye must be waiting.
(Popeye)
Who are you?
(Popeye)
You have to take a look at this.
- Yes? - Where are you?
The briefing is about to start.
What briefing?
The announcement of Han Sang Gu's case closure.
Why? We haven't even asked Baek Ah Hyun.
What are you talking about?
The princess was freed today.
No.
They're going to blame it all on Han Sang Gu.
- Hey. - Yes, sir.
- Is it ready? - Yes.
- What? - Stop the press conference!
What are you doing here?
You can't close the case like this.
- Step aside. - There's a mastermind in this case.
What are you talking about?
What do you think is the percentage of...
an assailant escaping the police car?
1988, 1990,
the robber from 2003,
and the drug dealer from 2005.
It only happened 5 times in the last 30 years.
So? What are you trying to say?
It's a very low chance.
Plus,
he unlocked the handcuffs, snatched the guns, and ran.
Play it.
Over here. He has the handcuff key.
Is that a key?
His escape wasn't a coincidence.
Someone helped him escape...
and eventually caused his death.
And that person might have made the order to kill my sister.
That's a delusion!
You're just obsessed with Han Sang Gu...
because of your sister's death.
When he was in the holding cell, he was not...
connected with the outside world at all.
The only person who could have given him the key...
is probably in the police.
Watch what you say!
There's one more person.
We don't know if that's a real key or not,
but there was one person who sneaked into the cell and broke the rules.
They came in here with an old friend.
As you said, let's say one of us did want to kill Han Sang Gu...
so he let him go.
But who is the one that wanted to kill him the most...
out of everyone here?
He actually pointed a gun at him before as well.
Excuse me. What about Baek Ah Hyun?
Why did they let her go?
The victim hasn't even woken up yet.
Look at her.
Hey, you've been following Cheon Jae In all the time.
Do you not watch the news?
The serial killer, Han Sang Gu...
He escaped...
The victim woke up two hours ago.
- What? - I was stabbed.
The one who stabbed me...
was the serial killer, Han Sang Gu.
Why would she...
That's a lie.
The one who stabbed her isn't Han Sang Gu. It's her.
I checked it.
- I analyzed... - Hold on.
Stop acting like some detective from a comic book.
What will you do?
The prosecution doesn't like you.
Get a grip.
The police are working with the criminal?
Come on.
You shouldn't say that.
Who is it?
Who is working with them?
I think there are at least...
two of them here.
Let's get started with the briefing.
- Get ready. - Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Han Sang Gu, who has been kidnapping and murdering women...
for the last four years...
in Seoul and Gyeonggi area, has died.
Han Sang Gu tried to seize a weapon and escape...
the police car while being transported.
During the process, he tried to shoot the police,
so he was taken down.
Therefore, the case has been closed.
Your tuition and living expenses have been entirely covered.
It's been transferred to your bank account.
We will financially support you after you graduate.
Future employment at our hospital...
When I graduate, I'd like to open my own clinic.
Please tell them that.
Sure.
It would truly be nice to be a wealthy heiress.
She made me this way,
but it's been easily taken care of.
What a scumbag.
(Statement. Victim, Baek Ah Hyun)
You were kidnapped by Han Sang Gu...
and locked up. Correct?
Yes.
Why did he kidnap you?
I don't want to think about it. Let's do something else.
You have no choice.
It's just the procedure.
Answer me.
Who stabbed Choi Eun Yu?
Me.
(Q. Who stabbed Choi Eun Yu? A. Han Sang Gu.)
What was the situation like?
I had to live.
It was like a game where only one of us gets to live.
What would you do if you were in the situation?
I grabbed the knife.
If only one of us gets to live,
my life would be more precious than hers in that situation...
since she lives in a basement.
Han Sang Gu said he's only making us experience...
what he went through.
People learn to hurt others...
after being hurt themselves.
Is that why you're doing this?
What are you talking about?
You can't look me in the eye.
I'm in charge of Han Sang Gu's case.
I need to see the prosecutor. It's urgent.
Hold on, please.
So you're a free woman.
What's your secret?
Oh, it's you.
You were at the hospital that time, right?
How did you buy...
Choi Eun Yu off?
I bought her a bright future.
It didn't cost much.
Of course, I'm not saying I did something.
You...
knew Han Sang Gu would die, didn't you?
I'm not sure.
There seems to be an awful lot of things you want to know.
Try being born again as a rich boy instead.
Jae In.
Excuse me.
Is it because Baek Ah Hyun is the heiress of Songha Group?
This is...
It's okay. I know who he is.
She clearly had an intent to murder.
Why was she let go?
The victim and Ah Hyun's statements match.
And Han Sang Gu is dead.
You must have some sort of fantasy with the law.
But the law discriminates.
Why did you ignore...
the bloodstain analysis?
Because I had to.
You're not even trained. or qualified to judge...
the integrity of the evidence from forensic investigation.
Do you even know what that means?
You wrote a lot in detail with trigonometry and stuff.
To be honest, I only understood about half of it.
Then why...
In the murder case from Itaewon,
the bloodstain was the definite proof,
but it was different from this case.
The two people who were at the scene were both prime suspects.
The method for bloodstain analysis only started being used in 2008.
I looked at every case where the said method was used...
as evidence since then.
It is very rare for it to be used as the sole evidence...
at the court.
So,
bring me something else...
if you want the rich girl in jail.
Surprisingly, you're a man of principle.
You're different,
but I like you.
The fallen genius detective.
A long time ago, you were called a legend,
but you blamed yourself for your family's death...
for two years, and you started hating yourself.
That's why you don't even know your place...
and showed up here to scold a prosecutor.
I am sorry,
but I do not like you.
I have to talk to the detective in charge, so...
I'm sorry.
I made a premature decision.
You don't need to apologize.
I get it now.
This case has...
deeper roots than I thought.
I heard they were able to catch Han Sang Gu, thanks to you.
It just happened that way. It was a coincidence.
Did you watch him die?
- I did. - What did he say...
at the end?
We can't continue the investigation on the woman.
There was nothing special,
but he told me to remember a name.
What name?
He said "Apollo" or something.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
That's all he said.
He asked you to remember that, right?
Yes.
(Wanted Criminal)
(Check with the witness)
I heard the guy who killed your sister died.
He deserved it.
Thank you for all your help.
We know that even when you were trying to catch him,
you helped us get by.
We appreciate that.
You've worked so hard.
Make soup with the shepherd's purse...
and eat the chwinamul with soybean paste, garlic,
and sesame oil.
Don't skip meals.
President Cheon.
This is my favorite garment.
- Take it. - I prefer a more subdued style.
- No, thank you. - Come on.
- Come on. - Try it on.
Try it on.
- It's okay. I mean it. - Just wear it.
- Try it on. - Try it on.
- It looks nice! - How sparkly.
Okay. Last but not least,
President Cheon,
give a speech.
- Give him a round of applause. - Applaud!
Keep up with your fortune-telling.
The household debt is still on the rise,
and the economy isn't growing fast enough.
People's futures aren't looking so well,
and because of the nuclear threat from North Korea...
Hold on. Here.
Be on your way now.
Okay.
Hold on to this.
Why are you giving me a phone?
No one has a phone among you guys.
You can dial me by pressing one.
Call me...
if any of you gets harassed for no reason...
like last time.
You should let me know if you need anything as well.
We may not have much, but we're very nosy, you know.
- Of course, you are. - And be careful.
Your fortune this month isn't looking so good.
Oh, stop that.
Watch out for water.
I'll get going.
Don't go near any body of water. Okay?
Here is the HR record you asked for.
(HR Record for Police Officer)
(Police Academy)
Look at you.
How could you ignore me all this time?
How will I face your father later on?
I assume you've been well, mister.
No. You're the mighty dean of the police academy now.
You rascal. Stop embarrassing me.
Look at you now.
I heard you gave your captain some trouble.
The rumor spreads fast.
Apparently, Han Sang Gu isn't everything.
But they don't believe me.
They need to investigate the police.
It's their duty to protect their organization as well.
If they have something to protect, anyone can become anything.
You too.
You've become old.
You would have exploded with anger if you were younger.
I'm old and also tattered.
By the way, was Su In trying to protect something?
I only have suspicions now.
I think Su In was digging for something.
For what?
I'm not sure.
That's why I came to see you. You might know something.
She used to come here for free dinners.
Now that I think about it,
she didn't look so well that day.
I did ask her if she had something on her mind.
What did she say?
She wouldn't say.
I really have nothing left now.
Speaking of which...
What brings you here?
What about you?
That kind of people...
don't have anyone to pay for their funeral...
or to cry for them.
On official records, it's not called a funeral.
It's called the disposal of the body.
The body is treated like...
an object to be incinerated.
Rich or poor,
criminal or victim,
it's the last moment for any human being.
I thought that he deserved...
to be treated as a human, not an object.
Sometimes I observe the process like this.
What about you?
Me?
Actually,
I'm not sure why I'm here.
I can't forgive...
Han Sang Gu even in his death.
Popeye...
is probably waiting.
What was that about?
(Incineration in process)
You actually have a heart.
Sorry?
I'm talking about those funerals...
and how you sometimes attend them.
I used to be a starving, poor child.
It's snowing.
When I look at snow,
I get so hungry...
because the snow looks like rice flour.
You're right.
I wish it was really rice.
Speaking of which,
let's get a real meal together some time.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
Bring all the guys in here.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
The briefing is over. Dismissed.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Cheon Jae In.
I'm Cheon Jae In.
I've been assigned to the Special Crime Squad as of today.
Captain, how is he back here?
I didn't know,
but they never processed my resignation.
Speaking of which,
I'm trying to catch that guy.
I want to be back.
Can you help me out?
I can't.
I'm against any kind of nepotism.
But...
your resignation was probably never processed...
just in case.
This team will be...
re-investigating Han Sang Gu's case.
What?
It's a closed case.
I already reported it to the higher-ups.
Hey, get to work. Go.
- Okay. - Don't just stand around.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Jae In.
Don't act out too much.
If you starve a dog too much,
it will even be willing to eat dog meat.
I'll act like a proper cop.
This punk...
Jae In,
I thought I'd never see you in this uniform.
I knew he'd be back.
His talents are too great for him to just stay home.
I'm a little silly.
Anyway, let's work hard together.
- Okay. - Applaud!
What? What is it?
You look like a totally different person.
Now that I see you this way, you look a bit...
I hear that a lot.
People say I'm so irresistible that they find me toxic.
But...
I'd like you to keep things professional.
No, I was just going to say...
you don't look so well.
Your face is very yellow.
Get me the list of evidence for Han Sang Gu's case.
Yes, sir.
Here.
- Is this everything? - Yes, this is what we have.
What about the other one?
It's probably still there. I'll look for it.
Apparently, they're taking care of Han Sang Gu's belongings.
- Where? - The incineration plant at church.
(Bible)
(Chunin Church)
Where's the stuff?
Step aside.
It's safe.
(The Foundation of Love: A Man's Story)
It's Su In's book...
that I got for her birthday.
(50,000-dollar Reward)
I heard she was looking for a missing child...
before she died.
A missing child?
(I found Byeol. From Apollo)
Byeol. Apollo.
Don't forget, Byeol.
My name is...
Apollo.
Popeye must be waiting.
(I found Byeol. From Apollo)
Popeye?
He exists.
Popeye really exists.
(50,000-dollar Reward)
This is me.
It's me.
Why does the kid Su In was looking for...
look like you?
Also, how do you know the name, Apollo?
And who is Popeye?
Who are you?
I don't know. I'm confused as well.
Were you, by any chance, missing when you were seven?
No.
Well...
actually, I have no memory.
Hello.
Have a seat.
- Long time no see. - Right.
Have a seat.
How's the presidential campaign going?
Everyone talks about you wherever I go.
Well, I'm a mere politician. My wishes...
don't make me a king.
I just want what's best for the people.
I told them to invite you to a nice Japanese restaurant.
I'm not sure why we're at such a humble place.
This place...
is actually 40 years old.
When it comes to relationships and restaurants,
I prefer them to be old. I like their subtlety.
Changing signs...
and relationships...
I don't like that.
He probably learned a lot this time.
How's your daughter?
Well, she's okay, thanks to you.
Here you go.
Apparently, there's a crazy brother...
who is obsessed with his sister's death.
Yes. His name is Cheon Jae In.
He graduated from the police academy.
Is he problematic?
He's been chasing Han Sang Gu for two years.
And now he's back in the force.
I'm not sure why you weren't doing anything about him.
We could've just prevented him from getting his job back.
A sea cucumber, you know,
apparently gives you its guts...
if you try to eat it alive.
While the predator enjoys its guts,
it gets away to find safety.
You have to give some to take some.
But still,
what if he digs through the old incident as well?
Chapter 13 of the Proverbs says,
"He that keeps his mouth keeps his life,"
"but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction."
Watch what you say.
You're back.
Did you have dinner?
Why are you looking at the album?
Have I ever gone missing before?
What are you talking about?
I saw an ad for a missing child today,
and she looked exactly like me.
Her name was So Yi or something.
She probably just happens to look like you.
We're same age as well.
Except for the time when I accidentally let go of your hand...
at an indoor pool,
I never lost you.
Right? It's not me, is it?
Right. Well, she had long hair.
By the way, Dad, why did I always wear boys' clothes?
Did you want a boy?
I believed in a superstition that...
the child grows up to be healthy if you switch the gender.
That's just a superstition.
You were very sick as a child.
I didn't care. I had to try everything.
Look.
When you were born, you were severely underweight.
And I raised you to be a healthy kid.
Tell me more about my childhood.
Whenever I fed you milk, you'd always cry and throw up.
In all the photos of you, you're crying and frowning.
It's such a pity...
that we lost that album as we moved.
This is the only photo of me...
before I was seven.
Was it really a coincidence...
that the album got lost?
So, what did your father say?
For sure, this isn't me.
I was never lost or kidnapped.
Then what's this?
I did some research,
and I think I figured it out.
She's my doppelganger.
You mean there is someone in this world...
who looks exactly like you?
Yes! You know Goethe, right?
The author of "The Sorrows of Young Werther".
He also met a doppelganger when he was 21.
I read it in his autobiography.
But when you run into your doppelganger,
apparently, one of you will die.
Why would you die?
You'd have to drag your doppelganger to do a DNA test with you.
There are apps for your phone...
where you can find your doppelganger.
Do you want to try it?
The more I spend time with you, the dumber you seem.
Do you even know that doppelganger is a German superstition?
A detective believes in some foreign superstition.
Why don't you just believe that writing your name in red will...
Don't write it! Don't!
You said you don't believe in it.
It still makes me feel weird.
(Cheon Chae Im)
Because of a certain someone, I've been experiencing weird stuff.
By the way, she must have been from a rich family.
The reward, I mean.
50,000 dollars is a crazy amount in 1994.
Right.
Why does the girl Su In was looking for...
look like you of all people?
Kim Dan.
Let's go.
Where?
To check something.
(Seokjeong, Seosang)
(Police)
Hold on a second.
December 1994.
Oh, here it is.
What's this?
What is it?
There is no investigation report. It only has a cover.
That's right. What about this person who was in charge?
He passed away a few years ago.
(Kim Seon Ja)
This number doesn't exist...
The guardian's number doesn't exist.
What about Ms. Kim Seon Ja?
Can you check her current address?
Give me a second.
They ripped the pages off.
Right.
Did they do it on purpose?
Who would rip the investigation report out?
Here you go.
It's an island called Jami.
Thank you.
By the way,
did a young female reporter come by two years ago?
She was probably looking for the same child.
Oh, I remember her.
She said she was going to the island.
I have something to talk to you about.
Not now.
I'll see you at home.
Su In.
What were you up to?
Over here.
- Goodness. - We have a lot.
All right.
(Jami Island, Day 1)
It's land! Land!
Is he okay?
Goodness.
Here it is.
Let's eat!
Oh, gosh.
Oh, looks.
This is too heavy.
Hey there, young man.
Help us out.
Come and help.
Okay.
Carry this.
You're strong.
Gosh.
By any chance, ma'am,
do you know Ms. Kim Seon Ja?
Kim Seon Ja?
Oh, the one from Wolgok.
It's been a few years since she moved away.
Did she move? Where did she go?
She had an affair with a guy here...
and moved somewhere with him.
Why are you asking about her?
We're from the police.
We have some questions.
- Are you cops? - Yes, we are.
About 20 years ago, her daughter went missing, right?
What daughter?
She was infertile.
Her husband was a fisher...
and lived here all his life before he died.
That's why she found another man.
Well...
That's weird.
This is the girl,
and her guardian was named Kim Seon Ja.
(50,000-dollar Reward)
- Do you not know her? - I'm not sure.
I've never seen her before.
Goodness. Whose daughter is she?
- We haven't seen her either. - She's very pretty.
Where did she live? The lady from Wolgok.
Over there, past the inn.
If you follow the road and go up,
you'll see a house with a fire-red roof.
But it's empty.
You should go now.
The last boat to the mainland is at 3pm.
If we miss it, we'll spend the night here.
There's an inn over there anyway.
I don't think you'll find it comfortable here.
This isn't a tourist area...
and the facilities aren't good.
I grew up in a rough neighborhood, so I'll be fine.
Thank you.
Goodness, maybe he'll try to flirt with that lady.
Gosh! Maybe he will!
What is this surprising turn of events?
I've seen this in movies.
We miss the boat and you say,
- "Let's spend the night here." - Enough.
Don't show any reaction.
- What are you talking about? - Don't look back.
Keep walking.
What is it?
Those people. There is something unnatural about them.
They're just country people.
We'll see.
Does anything come to your mind now that you're here?
Like what?
Maybe you feel a bit nostalgic.
Or you're used to the scenery.
Not at all.
It must be that house.
I think they left the house in a hurry.
I don't think they have the ability to reward someone 50,000.
And there aren't any kid's stuff.
Then why was she her guardian on the paper?
It's the newspaper from 1994.
They blocked all the windows.
Were they hiding?
(Eschatology Explained)
This kind of person had an affair with a neighbor and ran?
Jae In, look.
What do we do now?
The re-investigation report is gone,
and the guardian is missing.
There are lots of abandoned houses here.
- Let's go! - Where are you going?
I've never seen this can before.
They're all from the 90s.
Their expiration dates are similar as well.
It's the trash from different houses including Kim Seon Ja's.
Also, that girl...
went missing in 1994 as well.
Did something happen on this island then?
This trip might become longer than expected.
Do you have the permission from the borough office?
Why do you care?
It's just a habit from my job.
I'm a cop.
I'm licensed and registered.
Go and check if you want.
Why do you have an air rifle on an island?
Sometimes, boars show up here.
You two should be careful as well.
Is anyone home?
Ma'am.
We have some questions for you.
What? Oh, it's you.
How was the trip,
young lady?
- Me? - But...
what took you so long?
Sorry?
You'll soon receive the spirits.
I said you shouldn't wander around like that.
Ma'am, do you know me?
What is this about?
Why wouldn't I know you?
How can I help you?
Are you the owner of the inn?
The air is cold. Stay inside.
Would you like to stay here?
Yes.
It's 40 dollars.
She must be your mother.
She has Alzheimer's.
She thinks she knows anyone she meets.
We'd like two rooms.
What's the population on this island?
22 households. Just about 60 people live here.
A lot of the residents must have left.
Well, I'm not sure. I moved here after the financial crisis.
Apparently, all the fisheries went out of business...
because of a typhoon.
This isn't too bad.
Yes?
Here are the towels.
Thank you.
"Get out of this island. Hurry!"
What do you think it means?
He said he has no idea what it means.
It sounds a bit like a warning.
I have a bad feeling about it.
I don't think we should stay on this island.
We have no choice now.
The last boat left a moment ago.
Excuse me.
Well, the mayor wants to invite you over to dinner.
Yes.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Here comes the fish.
Have a drink.
I can't drink.
I'll pour it, but you don't have to drink it.
- That's right. - Just take it.
- He's the mayor. - You look like a drinker.
- I'll just receive it. - Here you go.
That's good.
All right, everyone. Since we have guests over from Seoul,
let's have a toast for them.
- Yes. - For the guests from Seoul.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Bottoms up.
- This is nice. - It's delicious.
You're a good drinker.
Have some of this.
Try the cockles as well.
- It's good, right? - It is.
- Hey! - Oh, my.
You shouldn't flip over the fish.
On islands, people don't flip over the fish they eat...
because they're worried that their boat might flip over.
I'm sorry.
It's just a superstition.
It's because our lives here depend on the sea.
That's why we believed in superstitions like a religion.
Growing up, when a son is born, everyone rejoiced...
because so many men die at the sea.
If it were like the old days, we wouldn't have parties like this one.
- Why not? - Did you not know?
According to the lunar calendar, today is the ghost day.
- Ghost day? - Yes.
Here it is.
On the 16th day of the lunar calendar, according to the folklore,
people in the countryside don't go out much...
and treat the day as a memorial day.
People thought they would get...
possessed if they go outside. They don't even go to the sea.
Even when they sleep, people hid their shoes.
They believed that if you wear the shoes...
touched by a ghost,
someone in that household is bound to die.
- Oh, come on. - Right.
- Isn't it scary? - I got goosebumps.
Gosh, watch out when you go to bed tonight.
Young man!
Goodness, look at you go.
Have another drink, young man.
Gosh. Here.
Eat the dishes as well.
Here.
It's a ghost.
- It's a ghost! A ghost! - What is it?
My... My soul!
I mean... It took my shoes!
A ghost did?
Where?
Don't go looking for it!
Let's just leave early in the morning.
Wait!
The shoes...
Over there! There!
- Did you see it? - You scared me.
You go ahead.
This won't do.
Hold on.
Get a grip.
Follow me.
Ma'am?
It's cold outside, ma'am.
Sleep with the blankets.
Then we'll get going.
They were punished from above.
Sorry?
Who are they?
I tried to stop them.
They forcefully avoided it,
and they took down the shrine as well.
Who?
They were talking about...
how the judgment day would come and all that.
And all of them actually died.
Well,
ma'am. Do you know her...
by any chance?
So Yi.
That's right. Who is she?
Her grandmother was the most successful...
shaman in this village.
She was such a good shaman. Back then,
the boats from this village...
somehow avoided all the sea storms.
So, this girl.
Where did she go?
Well...
So Yi...
What are you doing?
You weren't in your room, so...
She came to my room when I was sleeping, so we walked her back.
She must be surprised to have guests over.
It's okay, Mother. Sleep.
Well, we'll get going.
Right.
The drinks are making me very tired.
- Goodnight. - Have a good night.
Excuse me.
Did my mother say anything?
She mentioned things like "judgment" and "punishment".
What's that about?
Oh, gosh.
What is it?
I can't tell you the details.
And if possible, you should leave the island tomorrow.
You're the one who wrote on that piece of paper, right?
Mr. Kim.
My light bulb went out.
Okay, I'll have a look.
What is this island?
It's that scene again.
The one in my dreams.
I know instinctively...
that I should never look behind.
Dad.
(Jami Island)
I started to realize...
only after I've arrived on the island...
that perhaps, we didn't come to this island.
Maybe this island was looking for me.
There's no signal.
If the boats don't operate,
the island will be completely isolated.
(Jami Island, Day 2)
(Children of a Lesser God)
It's no coincidence that we came to this island.
I need to know what these people are hiding.
Everything is connected. Everything.
What are they fighting against?
She died trying to give us something.
You dug multiple graves.
I know it now.
When we grow up, I'll drink it every day.
That girl, So Yi, is...
