Hyo-je.
Honey.
Hyo-je.
Are you okay?
It's okay now.
Come here.
Mom!
Hyo-je!
A housewife, Mrs. Gang, has been arrested for murdering
her entire family.
The body of her husband, Mr. Kim, was found on the site.
Only the blood of her son has been found,
but his body has not been found yet.
The police believe
that Mrs. Gang is the most likely suspect.
They suspect that Mrs. Gang dumped
her son's body after killing him.
They are doing a thorough search of the area where the crimes happened.
A COLD-HEARTED WIFE
A HOUSEWIFE KILLED HER HUSBAND AND SON
6617, Gang Mi-hui.
The world has changed a lot, hasn't it?
Did you fix the water leak?
The electricity and water problems have been fixed.
I repaired the living room and roof a little bit too.
A little bit?
People in the neighborhood complain sometimes.
They want it to be torn down.
There are the rumors and it seems unlucky.
The land price doesn't go up.
6617, Gang Mi-hui.
Your prison term has not ended yet.
If you want to leave the house, you need to notify the police.
The officers will stay here, until your prison term ends.
Just stay here quietly.
Even if you go out, no one will welcome you.
You'll be lucky if you don't get stoned.
- Watch her closely. - Yes.
Call me if anything happens.
- Will do. - Do it right.
Why doesn't she say anything?
Throat cancer.
Come out!
I said come out!
Ji-won, let's go together.
Mom, I'll be late to the academy.
That's why you should've come straight home from school.
I know you fool around.
- Mom. - What?
You said this yourself.
"I don't mind if you are a rascal, as long as you're healthy."
That's why I work so hard at playing.
- Me, too. - You little monkeys.
Are you teasing your mother?
Dad!
- Have some of this. - No, thanks.
Take good care of your brother.
Okay.
Eat.
Don't spend all day just playing.
- Let's go. - Okay?
Do your homework early.
I got a call from your academy teacher...
Hey!
Hey! Finish eating before you go.
- Bye, Mom! - Bye, Mom!
Hello.
Sister Veronica Gang Mi-hui?
I'm from church welfare... Wait!
I heard you previously belonged to our parish.
Just leave.
Actually, I can leave...
if you fill out this form.
May I come in for a minute?
Ah, yes. Wow, this house...
I volunteer at the Cheongsin Detention Center on Christmas and Easter.
- What does a priest know about prisoners? - I know a lot.
All of the people there are also children of God.
There is no God.
I'm not a believer anymore.
Why did you come to see me?
Actually...
I was curious.
That day...
What really happened?
Just leave.
- I'm the winner. - I'll go faster than you.
I'm the winner!
Hurry!
Ah, second place.
- I lost because of you. - Hey, look!
Ah...
Ah, I'm dying.
- What? - What?
You, brats, how many hours do you play this?
Where did you get the money?
- Don't tell me you kids... - Run!
- Hurry! - You brats!
Oh my...
You brats!
I know who all of you are!
Jeez.
Yeon-hui, give me your hand.
Wow.
- See you guys tomorrow. - Take care.
- See you. - See you.
What was that?
Hey, you like Yeon-hui?
Am I crazy?
Then why do you take her on your bike?
That's not because I like her.
What is it then?
It's not because I like her.
She doesn't have a bike.
You do like her.
Fine, I like her.
See? You do like her.
Tell Mom we finished our homework at the academy, okay?
I already know.
- Don't say anything stupid. - Okay.
- We're back. - We're back.
You kids!
Apologize right now and beg for forgiveness!
- Mom. - Your dad is a policeman.
How could you do such a thing?
I'm sorry. This won't happen again.
Actually... That's not the problem.
It's actually...
Never mind.
Nothing.
Take care.
You skipped your academy.
Move your hand, or it'll get broken.
Okay, you can go.
Ji-won, come here.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Come here!
I'm responsible for Ji-won.
It wasn't his fault.
Right, you're the older brother. You have the responsibility.
What did the priest say at mass last week?
He said God is watching us all the time.
What else?
A sincere prayer will give you the answer.
Right.
I pray to the Virgin Mary for you every night.
But I guess I haven't been sincere enough.
I'm sorry.
You don't mean it.
If you ever do this again... You know, right?
Yes.
Mom.
What?
If I pray really hard...
If you pray, then?
Will I not die as young as Dad?
That'd never happen to my son.
The doctor told me,
they are doing research to cure your disease in America.
You'll be cured. Just wait a little more.
No matter what happens,
I'll make sure you are cured.
Those bastards! I should kill them.
They elected the president through direct system.
Why are they protesting about it now?
I can't even come home.
Okay!
Honey, it's been a while...
If you want to cheat on me, don't get caught.
What the heck are you talking about?
Don't worry about me.
I never expected anything from you anyway.
What...
Oh, it's because of this.
You're so sweet, honey.
Stop!
Seriously, who the fuck am I working this hard for?
Huh?
When a man comes home from work, he deserves to be comfortable!
How could you...
Shit.
Fuck!
This is too much...
Is that you, Ji-won?
Is it you, Cheol-jung?
Stop fooling around.
Who is it?
Is that you, Hyo-je?
Hyo-je.
Hyo-je!
Hyo-je, open the door!
Hyo-je!
What?
Did you just scream?
Ji-won.
Was it you?
- Did you just scream? - Yes.
Why?
Hyo-je...
Hyo-je?
He came and scared me.
What?
Someone smashed the door and tried to come in.
Did you see that person's face?
No.
It must be those guys.
- Who, Sergeant Kim? - The protesting bastards.
I've beaten some of them up.
I said they shouldn't let them go.
But, didn't you say you weren't home?
Why would they do this to your wife and kids?
I guess those red punks took advantage because I wasn't home.
I had to keep every door locked!
Only your wife's fingerprints.
It was a bit strange.
It didn't seem like a person.
Crazy...
That doesn't make sense.
Hey, how long have you lived in this house?
We moved in right after we were married, so around ten years.
My boss hooked me up with the realtor when I got married.
We bought this empty house very cheap.
I transferred ownership into my wife's name after Ji-won was born.
Hey, Hyo-je.
Hyo-je?
What did you see last night?
Hurry and tell him.
Hyo-je.
Tell him!
Hyo-je.
You're making me worried.
Tell me.
Did you see anything?
What's this?
LEAVE THIS HOUSE. THE DAD WILL KILL THE SONS.
Who gave this to you?
Hyo-je, tell me.
Who gave this to you?
Excuse me, Father.
Recently, I...
Never mind.
Ma'am!
Actually...
Don't be offended, but listen to me carefully.
The aura of your house doesn't seem very good.
Our house?
The aura is not good.
Spirits...
they gather there.
Something frightening happened recently, didn't it?
Call this number. He's a very skilled fengshui expert.
I've gone all around the outside.
So...
You saw something strange in the house?
It's like...
It's hard to explain. My son is not a child who would lie either.
May I have some coffee?
Of course.
The energy point in the north is weak, and the inner circle is dead.
This place is really unusual.
You would only see such a place every millennium.
By any chance,
did you recently move a grave site?
No.
Then, did you repair the water pipes?
Or change the location of the windows or front door?
No, I didn't.
You didn't...
- Please have some. - Quiet.
This...
What is this place?
It's the basement, we use it for storage.
What is this door?
Could you open it for a moment?
Yes, it's open.
Who is it?
Hurry!
What?
What's wrong?
Wait, just a moment.
What?
What happened?
- Didn't you hear the voices? - What voices?
Madam, you should find someone else.
First, tell me what happened.
There's a problem, but I don't know what it is.
The best thing to do is to move out.
Madam, to be honest,
that thing has nothing to do with fengshui.
Rather, it's just...
Just call in a shaman.
Hello. Your excommunication has been processed well.
Fine, you can go.
May I have some coffee?
I was rude last time, I'm sorry.
I looked into your incident.
I noticed a lot of doubtful facts.
If you'd like to make a confession,
I'm ready to listen to everything as a priest.
You said you understand prisoners very well, right?
They're all children of God?
Because of those children of God,
I was almost tortured to death.
Do you know why I held onto life?
Because I need to find my son.
I had to come back to this house...
and find him.
That's the truth.
You want to know what really happened that day?
Sister.
No matter what others say,
I want to believe what you say.
Please tell me.
Who did it?
Them.
They did it.
Someone was here in this house.
They took...
Hyo-je away.
So, Gang Mi-hui came here in 1984.
Before that, these old folks were living in the house, right?
Yes, Father.
If that's what it says in the file, that's how it is.
Then, do you know who lived there before them?
That's all the information we have on that form.
I have no way of knowing.
Why are you angry?
What? Is there a problem?
Well, he keeps asking about No. 34 in Uiryeong-dong.
No. 34 in Uiryeong-dong...
That place...
used to be a haunted house.
People went missing, too.
Right, there was a murder 25 years ago and the son was missing.
I didn't know about that, but I think it was in the 60's.
A whole family went missing.
What?
I was in elementary school, that must've been around the mid 60's.
The whole family just disappeared like smoke.
It was quite a mystery.
That house is strange.
It definitely is.
GEUMSAN POLICE STATION
Okay.
But, Father Choi.
Why do you need information on this old case?
I want to hold a prayer for the victims in the case.
- You do that kind of thing. - Yes.
I'm on duty today, so take your time.
Brother Peter, please come to our mass next time.
Oh, mass.
- Go on inside. - Okay.
November 11th, 1967
No. 34 in Uiryeong-dong,
An incident occurred where a family disappeared without a trace.
There was no trace of a home invasion. Only the residents disappeared.
NOVEMBER 11TH, 1967
The missing people...
were a mother and two young daughters.
Come out!
Be quiet.
I told you not to go out.
I told you to be quiet.
See?
Stop it!
- It's mine. - No!
If you keep doing that, I'll lock you up.
Don't laugh.
Don't move so much!
It's pretty this way.
I told you to be quiet.
This is prettier in this way, right?
- No, don't do it. - It's prettier.
Just do half of it.
- Stop. - It's okay.
I don't want it.
Who are you?
It's my house!
Who are you?
Please...
Give me back my son.
Give Hyo-je back to me.
Who is doing this to me?
Why?
TAKE A LEFT ON THE SECOND ALLEY, MYEONGNYUN SHAMAN HOUSE
I must be out of my mind.
Is anyone here?
Are you looking for the shaman?
Our shaman had a little accident.
Actually, she should've entered nirvana seven years ago.
But because of her skill,
she was able to hover between life and death.
She's not able to see now,
but she's able to see between life and death, and beyond space time.
She's saying that you need help.
How did you get into that house?
Why are you sprinkling the salt?
The gods will step on it as they come over.
As the ceremony progresses,
you should not step outside this circle.
Come over here.
Be careful.
Those people...
who are they?
Who?
The shaman has now been possessed.
Get out of here quickly!
Those people are still here.
Give me that paper.
Why aren't you leaving? Why are you still here?
Okay.
It's now very important.
Close your eyes.
You must not open them.
What is that sound?
Just listen.
It can die again. You must not open your eyes.
Daddy... You killed my child.
An innocent one...
What is this sound? What is it saying?
Both of you did this. You're both the same!
Daddy, I was wrong.
I was wrong.
You killed my child.
Daddy, I was wrong.
Daddy.
Dad, don't kill me!
Don't kill me.
Please.
Shut up!
Stop it!
Please calm down. It's not over yet.
If we stop now, something terrible will happen.
I don't care!
Please leave right now.
I said get out of here!
I'm home.
What time is it now, you kids?
Ah, I was at Jun-ho's house...
What about Ji-won? Where is he?
What?
He said he was leaving earlier.
He isn't home yet?
What?
Ji-won!
Where is he?
Ji-won!
Where is he?
Ji-won!
Be careful.
Cheol-jung.
- Stop. - Ji-won.
Cheol-jung.
Get up, Cheol-jung.
Hey, Cheol-jung.
Cheol-jung!
Ji-won!
- That's enough. - Damn you!
Fuck -Cheol-jung.
- Cheol-jung. - Hey, get up!
Let go!
- Cheol-jung! - You're the older brother...
Ji-won.
Get up.
No, Ji-won.
Ji-won.
Ji-won is dead because of you. You should go and die!
- How could you let this happen? - Stop it!
- Because of you... - Stop it.
Stop it!
- Stop. - Stop, Cheol-jung.
- Let me go. - Come here.
Stop, honey!
Let me go!
Ji-won!
- Let me go! - Hey, stop him!
Detective!
It was all my fault.
I didn't stay with him.
Hyo-je.
The Priest said,
when a good child dies,
he becomes an angel.
Really?
Yes.
Ji-won will be in the Holy Mother's embrace.
Forever.
He'll always be with us.
LAND EXTENSION, RELOCATION
In 1942,
Abeno Masuki, the best Japanese necromancer,
came to Joseon to build a house for General Watabe Kunio.
The necromancer Abeno strongly insisted
on building the house at this location.
On November 11th,
General Watabe Kunio and his family were killed in this house...
Reporter Park Eul-saeng.
In that house,
in 1967
and in 1992,
similar disappearances also occurred?
Yes.
In the article I wrote,
the same thing happened at that location in 1942.
That house...
No...
I should call it an event.
Hey you all, this is wrong. If you continue, everyone will die.
At that time, Japan's exploitation was so harsh,
and a great rage was simmering among the farmers.
As a result,
the farmers broke in to capture General Watabe,
who was in the vanguard.
Ultimately,
the farmers killed the General
and his wife.
In truth,
those people didn't kill anyone.
Something mysterious had happened.
They captured a housemaid
and she showed them the hiding place.
But inside,
there was only a strange wall.
The General and his wife
had disappeared without a trace.
Then...
That was another disappearance?
I can still remember what happened back then.
The basement of that house.
I'm not
far from death.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DISAPPEARED WITH NO TRACE
Why would I lie to you...
COLD-HEARTED HOUSEWIFE MRS. GANG TO SERVE 30 YEARS
...when you want to hear my story, Father?
NOVEMBER 11TH, 1942 NOVEMBER 11TH, 1967
1992, HYO-JE, MI-HUI NOVEMBER 11TH, 2018
Lord,
is this truly your will?
NOVEMBER 2017 MASS AT 10:00 A.M.
I think something strange has happened in this house.
Look.
In 1942,
General Watabe and his wife disappeared without a trace.
And then in 1967, a mother and her two daughters disappeared.
It was a missing persons case.
And, just you said,
A HOUSEWIFE KILLED HER HUSBAND AND SON
In 1992,
once again, your son went missing.
The cycle repeats every 25 years.
Today's that date.
I've seen these people before.
They are...
still in this house.
- Father! - Come out with me.
Father, come outside.
Father Choi.
Something might happen if you stay here. You're sick so let's go to the hospital.
- That'd be better. - If...
today is that day, I should stay here.
- You're being stubborn. - They will come.
It's not visitation day.
You might be doing a good deed, but this causes a problem.
The Father is leaving.
Sister!
A priest believes in God, and a mother...
believes in her child.
I'm still a mother...
25 years ago,
and today.
Take care, Father.
Okay.
Let's go.
Sister!
Father, come on.
You should think about my position, too.
Every 25 years...
HOUSEWIFE MRS. GANG TO SERVE 30 YEARS
Ji-won.
Look at Mom.
You must overcome this.
Cry, if you're sad.
If it hurts, it's okay to hurt.
I miss Ji-won.
I didn't stay with him.
The Holy Mother...
will take good care of him.
Hyo-je.
Who are you?
This... can't be happening.
Jeez.
This is too much.
You, damn...
Hyo-je?
Hyo-je...
Don't be afraid.
Who are you?
My son, Hyo-je.
I've been looking for you so hard.
My son...
Let me touch your face.
Look at your mother's face.
Smell my scent.
Mom?
- Mom. - Yes.
Ji-won.
Hyo-je!
Open the door!
Hyo-je!
Give this
to your mother.
Don't read it.
Make sure she gets this.
Also...
You must not tell anyone you saw me.
What happened?
Did you just scream?
I couldn't protect you.
Hyo-je.
I'll take good care of you.
Ji-won.
Let's go see mom.
Dad.
Ji-won's in his room.
Dad.
You shouldn't have been here from the beginning.
How could I be your father?
Stop calling me "Dad."
You killed my son.
You!
You killed Ji-won.
No, Dad.
Damn it!
Get out!
Who are you?
Stay away.
Stay away!
Go!
Stay away!
Just a moment.
I said get away!
Mom.
It's me.
Your son, Hyo-je.
Look carefully.
It's me.
It's really me.
It can't be...
This is impossible.
I prayed sincerely
that this day would come.
How could this...
Touch me,
like you did before.
Mom, there's no time.
Why was it Ji-won, why?
- Dad. - Why Ji-won?
Dad, spare me.
Honey.
What's going on?
What's wrong?
Mom.
- Calm down. - Calm down?
- You're both the same. - Put that knife down, okay?
Shut up!
Do you think I don't know?
You both planned to run away after you killed my son.
What are you doing?
Honey, what are you doing?
Damn it!
Honey.
Get away.
Honey.
Mom.
I've been waiting
for 75 years to see you.
Everyone who has lived here
are trapped in time.
A time that's unknown.
We don't know of each other's existence.
Every 25 years,
only in November, a time gap opens up slowly.
On the 11th day,
the door of time is open completely.
All of our times begin to overlap.
This house is such a place.
Today, this house will take you
back to that time in 1992.
What happened that day?
You saved me.
- I did? - Yes.
That's why I'm alive
and live in here.
This time, you can't do that.
To die in that time,
that was my destiny.
Your life fell apart like this because of me.
I came to tell you not to save me.
Your life...
Don't you want to get it back?
I...
want to go back.
I want to live my life.
It has been like being in hell.
I was so wronged.
Mom.
Don't do that again this time.
Please spare me.
Dad.
Spare me.
You killed my son!
Let's end this.
Hyo-je.
Mom!
No, Mom. You must not!
Mom!
Hyo-je.
This is my destiny.
I love you.
My son.
Thank you for coming to find me.
- Ouch! - Stop it...
You...
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
You can't touch him.
You...
Hyo-je.
- My baby. - Mom.
Hyo-je.
I...
I have to go now.
Mom, don't go.
Honey.
Hyo-je!
If I pray really hard,
I won't die as young as Dad?
No matter what happens,
I'll make sure you are cured.
It's okay now.
Come here.
Mom!
Hyo-je!
Hyo-je, open the door!
Hyo-je!
It's hard to believe.
Isn't it, Father?
To be honest...
it is.
He's still upset.
Hyo-je.
Jun-ho?
Yeah.
Hyo-je.
I have to go...
someplace far away.
Where?
Can I come with you?
It's too far.
Someday.
Someday you can come.
You're the most important thing to me.
Back then,
right now,
and in the future.
Father.
Who's this child?
This child is that criminal's son.
What?
The one who went missing 25 years ago.
You went in there alone.
At the end of a very long journey,
he has come from the past to the present.
Wow, Father. That's funny.
Isn't that priest weird?
Father.
This is my final confession.
I am...
a sinner who killed my husband.
I'll have to pay the price for my sins when I meet our Heavenly Father.
Hyo-je,
he has a hereditary heart disease.
It maybe shameless of me,
but please take him somewhere
he can be treated.
So he can see this beautiful world.
Please help him.
I beg you.
