What's wrong, Ms. Sanyeong?
[car horn honking]
We have to get there, quickly.
[♪ tense music continues]
[Munchun grunting]
[Hongsae] Sir, what's wrong?
Do you need to get some air?
Professor Yeom was right.

Detective Seo…
[breathing heavily]
[♪ tense music]
[detective] What happened?
We don't know either.
- And the ambulance?
- It'll be here soon.
[sobbing]
[Hongsae] Wait.
Wait! Detective Seo.
Wait! What are you doing to him?
Detective Seo!
[sobs]
[Hongsae] Detective Seo!
It's me. Please…
Detective Seo, please get up.
Detective Seo!
Sir, just a moment…
- Please get up.
- [detective] That's enough.
[♪ somber music]
[voice breaking]
Detective Seo.
[detective] That's enough.
[Hongsae sobbing]

- [officer 1] Hey!
- [officer 2] Hongsae!
[Hongsae sobbing]
You… What are you?
[Hongsae] Well?
Hey.
- [Hongsae] Hey, come here.
- [detective] What are you doing?
[Hongsae]
You were over there just a moment ago.
You were there just a moment ago.
[Hongsae] How did you…
[sobbing]
What do we do about Detective Seo?
[Hongsae breathing heavily]
[Hongsae sobs]
Hey.
So what if someone died?
Everyone dies eventually.
[breathes heavily]
[♪ ominous music]
[grunts]
[soft chuckle]
You should have killed me instead.
Why didn't you just kill me?
It's not your time yet.

[soft groan]
[Gyeongmun] Are you awake?
[Sanyeong gasps]
When did I come here?
Oh, my. Do you not remember?
You came in last night
while I was sleeping
and said you wanted to sleep next to me.
[♪ uneasy music]
Did you drink?
Did you and Semi have a party
to celebrate her passing her exam?
Yes.
[Gyeongmun] Are you telling the truth?
Of course I am.
Okay, that's good.
But what were you dreaming about
last night?
Dream?
You were crying and saying,
"Mom, don't go. Mom, don't die,"
the whole time.
Well, they say dreams show
the opposite of reality.
Go wash up.
[♪ pensive music]
[door opens]
Still, it was nice sleeping together
after a long time.
By the way, are you comfortable
at Hwawonjae?
How about coming back home?
How is the barista academy?
[Sanyeong] Are things going well?
Yes, it's what I've really wanted to do.
I'm going to try my best this time.
I'll make you a cup of coffee
after you eat.
I think our tough times are behind us.
Let's hurry up and sell that house
and live happily, running the café.
[Sanyeong] I'm sorry, Mom.
I don't think I can finish.
I need to go.
What? Where are you going?
Hwawonjae.
I forgot I'm supposed to meet people
from the real estate agency.
You should at least finish your food.
[♪ pensive music]
Mom, what is…
[Gyeongmun]
You brought all of that last night.
Aren't they from your party with Semi?
[♪ pensive music continues]
[Sanyeong] How could you do that?
Someone died. How could you do that
after you killed someone?
[evil spirit] You need me.
[♪ ominous music]
[breathing shakily]
I checked all of the CCTV footage
for the office and inside the building
during the preliminary investigation,
but the woman you mentioned didn't appear.
[detective 1] Detective Seo…
just jumped on his own.
I heard from the HR staff
that his wife died of a chronic disease
20 years ago
and he has been living alone ever since.
He worked obsessively on cases
without a family to go home to,
and he might have been dispirited
as he approached retirement.
But…
couldn't you have stopped him?
You were right next to him.
You should have stopped him!
[detective 2] That's enough.
He watched his partner die
right in front of his eyes.
Take some time off.
I'll speak to the higher-ups for you.
Who's going to be the chief mourner?
You said he didn't have a family.
[Hongsae] I'll do it.
I don't know if I deserve to…
but I want to do it.
VIOLENT CRIMES
INVESTIGATION UNIT 4 TEAM 3
[♪ somber music]
[Sanyeong] Excuse me.
Excuse me.
[breathing heavily]
I'll turn myself in!
You said to come find you
if I was going to turn myself in.
I'll turn myself in.
I'm the culprit,
so…
whether you arrest me or lock me up,
please do something.
You have to apply at least this much force
to leave a bruise on the wrist.
If I say you grabbed a VCI detective
like this and threw him out the window,
who would believe me?
[♪ somber music continues]
Plus, you weren't captured
on CCTV footage.
Even if I specify you as the culprit
and you confess with your own mouth,
there's no physical evidence.
You'll be released eventually.
However, when Detective Seo died,
I definitely saw you.
Don't show up in front of me for a while,
because I might end up killing you.
[♪ somber music continues]
How is the baby?
I gifted a pure gold ring
at your baby's first birthday party.
The kid started elementary school
last year.
[exhales deeply]
Has it really been that long?
[soft chuckle]
See? I always told you we should meet up…
And now, we met again on a day like this.
The funeral procession
is tomorrow.
You should say your farewell now.
Later.
I'll say farewell in a little bit.
[Hongsae sighs]
What about Detective Seo?
I hear you can see ghosts.
Can you see… Detective Seo?
[in shaky voice]
If you…
happen to see Detective Seo,
can you please tell him that I'm sorry?
I should have stopped him.
[sobbing]
Please tell him that I'm really sorry
that I couldn't stop him.
[Hongsae sobbing]
I feel like he died because of me.

Who are you?
Me?
Well, I'm a detective.
[soft chuckle]
[young Haesang] No one…
[sobbing]
…is listening to me.
I really miss my mom.
[sobbing continues]
[sighs deeply]
Why is a rich kid
going around without socks?
[sighs]
Here.
[young Munchun]
It's cold. You'll catch a cold.
Thank you.

- [Munchun] Here's your birthday present.
- Socks again?
Hey, these are imported.

[sobbing continues]
[doorbell rings]
[door beeps]
[Haesang] Come in.
[door beeps]
[cup rattling]
[Hongsae] Did you move here?
[Haesang] Yes.
Please, have a seat.
We have a lot to talk about.
All right.
Detective Seo…
didn't commit suicide.
You're right.
He was murdered.
[♪ suspenseful music]
Before…
Detective Seo died,
he said to me,
"Professor Yeom was right."
What did he mean?
The culprit we need to catch…
is a ghost.
You're saying a ghost killed
all those people since 1958?
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT ON THE DEATH
OF CHIEF PROSECUTOR LEE TAEKHEE
These are the cases
that Detective Seo and I
had been investigating.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
ON THE UNNATURAL DEATH OF CHOI WONCHUL
[inhales deeply]
Have these many people died?
Yes, we also found that out recently.
In total, 17 people have died
since 1958,
including Detective Seo.
I need to catch that ghost even if I die.
How can I catch it?
My understanding is that we need to find
five objects related to the ghost
and figure out the ghost's name
to get rid of it.
Is that ghost…
Gu Sanyeong?
No, it's not Ms. Sanyeong.
The evil spirit possessing Ms. Sanyeong
killed those people.
You know about Lee Mokdan's case, right?
Lee Mokdan, who died then,
became an evil spirit.
Are you saying
Gu Sanyeong has nothing to do with this?
[Haesang] She doesn't. Ms. Sanyeong
had no reason to kill Detective Seo.
There must have been…
other reasons for his death.
What do you mean by that?
You said you were with him
before he died, right?
- Yes.
- Did anything strange happen then?
Anything peculiar?
Please tell me anything you remember.
[thuds]
Detective Seo…
[♪ tense music]
Before…
Detective Seo jumped,
he grabbed the investigative material
we had gathered.
I've restored the report
on Lee Mokdan's case,
so let's meet up and talk.
Do you know
what was in the report
on Lee Mokdan's case?
No, but we'll need to figure that out now.
[Haesang] No.
You could end up in danger too…
if you find out what it is.
It doesn't matter.
- [♪ tense music]
- [door opens, closes]
[door beeps]
[Sanyeong] I saw a strange notebook.
I saw it.
I witnessed my grandmother's death.
GU SANYEONG
[line ringing]
[Hongsae] I heard that Detective Seo
entrusted the restoration of the report
on the Lee Mokdan's case here.
May I see the report that was restored?
Hmm…
Document restoration
is a process that restores
the original document,
so there are no copies.
[♪ pensive music]
Then what was the report about?
You saw it when you were working on it.
There was nothing special,
just the victim's personal information.
Please contact me if you happen
to remember anything specific.
I will.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help.
No, it's okay. Thank you.
[Ilman] Here, eat.
- I'm fine, really.
- Just eat.
You put in a lot of work
getting the funeral together.
Thanks…
for sending…
Munchun off well.
Also, here is
the copy of the document Munchun took.
If you need to find someone in the future,
come to me.
I can at least do that for you.
[Ilman sighs]
Take care of yourself too.
Eat up.
Thank you.

[Haesang] Ms. Sanyeong?
[Haesang sighs]
Ms. Sanyeong, are you okay?
[Haesang] Ms. Sanyeong?
[♪ ominous music]
It's the evil spirit.
The evil spirit…
drew that?
Ever since we found the black rubber band,
I'm starting to remember less and less.
I can't tell if I'm me…
or the evil spirit right now.
The evil spirit used us to find
the blue pottery piece
and the rubber band.
Is it the right thing to do…
to find…
the five objects?
The solution Professor Gu left us
is the only one we have.
I think something is wrong.
My dad was killed in the end too.
We could also end up like that.
There must be a reason
why Professor Gu failed.
Ms. Sanyeong.
What did you see this time?
You said you could see the victim
being killed by the evil spirit.
What did you see
when Detective Seo passed away?
The detective was investigating
Lee Mokdan's case.
There may be something…
Professor Gu missed too.

[♪ eerie music]
[evil spirit] If you tell him,
he'll die too.
Tell me what you saw.
[♪ ominous music]
No.
No.
I couldn't see anything.
Is that the truth?
Don't you want
to get rid of the evil spirit?
[♪ pensive music]
I don't really know
what you're feeling
or what you're thinking.
However, Detective Seo
was a very precious person to me.
I'm going to get rid
of that evil spirit inside you
at all costs.
Contact me if you have anything
you want to tell me.

Do you remember me?
Yes, I do but…
What brings you here?
Did you come looking for Sanyeong again?
[gasps]
Wait, did something happen to--
No, today I came to ask you
a few questions.
Oh, I see.
But I have to get to

It'll only take a moment.

Do you know anything

Have you ever heard
of the name Lee Mokdan?
Well…
My husband told me
about the village a few times,
but I don't really know anything.
This is my first time
hearing that name as well.
But why are you asking?
If you happen to remember anything,
even if it's something trivial,
please contact me.
By the way,
how is your daughter?
Is she different from usual
or acting strangely as of late?
Why would she?
It's nothing.

[♪ tense music continues]
HANSEO LIBRARY
[Haesang] The people
around Professor Gu Gangmo who died.
The first victim, Seo Sanghun,
was a professor who looked down on
and criticized Professor Gu.
The second victim,
his mother-in-law, urged her daughter
to get a divorce to protect her.
The third victim,
Hwang Chahui,
was Professor Gu's teaching assistant.
Only the librarian, Chae Seorin,
doesn't have a direct link
to Professor Gu Gangmo.
Just like how Detective Seo Munchun
wasn't linked to Ms. Sanyeong.
[♪ suspenseful music]
[librarian chuckles softly]
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
It's okay.
But…
why do you want to know
about Ms. Chae Seorin?
Do you perhaps…
[phone clicking]
…recognize this person?
No, I don't know this person.
He was a folklore professor,
and according to a detective I know,
Ms. Chae Seorin met with him
before she passed away.
I did give a detective
a list of books that Ms. Chae searched for
before she died.
However, that's all I know.
Could you show me that list too?
Why are you doing this?
[sighs]
This may sound strange,
but I'm chasing a ghost.
Many people have died
because of that ghost.
But I think Ms. Chae Seorin…
knew something about the ghost.
Are you…
referring to that?
The red bruises on the wrists?
Ms. Chae and I
were in charge of preserving
old materials.
But before Ms. Chae died,
- something strange happened there.
- [thumping]
YEAR 2022
- [books clattering]
- [papers rustling]
[Seorin sobbing]
She was ripping a book?
Ms. Chae cried
because she didn't know why she did it.
Although it was old, it wasn't a rare book
and it wasn't worth preserving.
I thought she would receive
light punishment,
but she died not too long after.
What kind of book was it?
[door beeps]
This is the title of the book
and the author.
Only a handful were published
at the author's own expense,
so I can't seem to locate it
at other libraries.

[car alarm beeps]
You're Professor Gu's daughter, right?
[property owner] You contacted me
after looking through
the funeral guest book.
Yes, as I mentioned during our call,
I wanted to ask you
a few questions about my father.
I see. Please follow me.
[♪ ominous music]
[Hongsae] "Cheonyong-dong 22-1 beonji."
Does she even know what that place is?
You recognize it.
Professor Gu made it for us.
I asked if Lines of Prohibition
were supposed to be put up
outside the door,
but he said sometimes they need to prevent
bad luck from within a door too.
[property owner] Jangjin-ri?
Yes, I was wondering if my father…
ever mentioned that place to you.
No, he didn't. In truth,
I wasn't that close to Professor Gu.
He came by every now and then as a guest.
Oh, I see.
Then how did you come to his funeral?
Before this lodge,
it was a bed and breakfast
that was falling apart.
But there was a big fire decades ago
and the owner didn't show up afterward,
so I bought the vacant land.

The place
where Professor Yeom's mother passed away.
Professor Gu showed interest in the lodge
since its construction,
and he was the first guest
after it opened.
Did he happen…
to donate a tree here at the time?
How did you know?
[♪ suspenseful music]
[property owner] It was that tree,
the small tree next to that pine tree.
Professor Gu came to see that tree
before he passed away too.
[property owner] What's the matter?
TWO MONTHS AGO
It's raining.
Let's go in for now, Professor Gu.
[Gangmo] I don't know what went wrong.
It should disappear.
The evil spirit won't disappear.
Are you okay, Professor Gu?
[clanks]
[♪ eerie music]
[property owner] After he found it,
he left as if he was possessed
by something.
I worried about him all night
and called the next day,
but he had passed away.
I felt terrible.
All I could think was,
"What if I had stopped him then?"
[♪ suspenseful music]
[Haesang] Both my mother and Professor Gu
wanted to get rid of the evil spirit
by sealing the items.
[Sanyeong] Professor Yeom was right.
Dad was trying to get rid
of the evil spirit by sealing the items,
so why did he take back
the hair accessory?
Dad,
the five objects,
and the evil spirit's name.
What do I have to find?

He said sometimes they need to prevent

[Sanyeong] Bad luck from within a door,

You'll be fine during the day.

Is this…

There was only a yearbook.

Why did you kill…

You are dead.
Everything should end when you die,

Gu Sanyeong, are you okay?
Look at me. Can you not see anything?
[Haesang] There were red bruises
on my father's wrists?
I heard something strange there.
I'll figure out
that child's name even if I die.
[Haesang] I'll get rid of the evil spirit
you made with my own hands.
[Sanyeong] Whenever I touched

I saw things.

Now I know

Mom? Mom!

[♪ uneasy music]
Did you drink?
Did you and Semi have a party
to celebrate her passing her exam?
Yes.
[Gyeongmun] Are you telling the truth?
Of course I am.
Okay, that's good.
But what were you dreaming about
last night?

You were crying and saying,
"Mom, don't go. Mom, don't die,"

Well, they say dreams show

[Sanyeong] Are things going well?
Yes, it's what I've really wanted to do.
I'm going to try my best this time.
I'll make you a cup of coffee

I think our tough times are behind us.
Let's hurry up and sell that house
and live happily, running the café.
[Sanyeong] I'm sorry, Mom.
I don't think I can finish.
I need to go.
What? Where are you going?

I forgot I'm supposed to meet people
from the real estate agency.
You should at least finish your food.
[♪ pensive music]
Mom, what is…
[Gyeongmun]
You brought all of that last night.
Aren't they from your party with Semi?
[♪ pensive music continues]
[Sanyeong] How could you do that?
Someone died. How could you do that
after you killed someone?
[evil spirit] You need me.

[breathing shakily]
I checked all of the CCTV footage
for the office and inside the building
during the preliminary investigation,
but the woman you mentioned didn't appear.
[detective 1] Detective Seo…
just jumped on his own.
I heard from the HR staff
that his wife died of a chronic disease
20 years ago
and he has been living alone ever since.
He worked obsessively on cases
without a family to go home to,
and he might have been dispirited
as he approached retirement.
But…
couldn't you have stopped him?
You were right next to him.
You should have stopped him!
[detective 2] That's enough.
He watched his partner die
right in front of his eyes.
Take some time off.
I'll speak to the higher-ups for you.
Who's going to be the chief mourner?
You said he didn't have a family.
[Hongsae] I'll do it.
I don't know if I deserve to…
but I want to do it.

Excuse me.

You said to come find you
if I was going to turn myself in.
I'll turn myself in.
I'm the culprit,
so…
whether you arrest me or lock me up,
please do something.
You have to apply at least this much force
to leave a bruise on the wrist.
If I say you grabbed a VCI detective
like this and threw him out the window,
who would believe me?
[♪ somber music continues]
Plus, you weren't captured
on CCTV footage.
Even if I specify you as the culprit
and you confess with your own mouth,
there's no physical evidence.
You'll be released eventually.
However, when Detective Seo died,
I definitely saw you.
Don't show up in front of me for a while,
because I might end up killing you.

OF CHIEF PROSECUTOR LEE TAEKHEE
These are the cases
that Detective Seo and I
had been investigating.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
ON THE UNNATURAL DEATH OF CHOI WONCHUL
[inhales deeply]
Have these many people died?
Yes, we also found that out recently.
In total, 17 people have died
since 1958,
including Detective Seo.
I need to catch that ghost even if I die.
How can I catch it?
My understanding is that we need to find
five objects related to the ghost
and figure out the ghost's name
to get rid of it.
Is that ghost…
Gu Sanyeong?
No, it's not Ms. Sanyeong.
The evil spirit possessing Ms. Sanyeong
killed those people.
You know about Lee Mokdan's case, right?
Lee Mokdan, who died then,
became an evil spirit.
Are you saying
Gu Sanyeong has nothing to do with this?
[Haesang] She doesn't. Ms. Sanyeong
had no reason to kill Detective Seo.
There must have been…
other reasons for his death.
What do you mean by that?
You said you were with him
before he died, right?
- Yes.
- Did anything strange happen then?
Anything peculiar?
Please tell me anything you remember.

Detective Seo…
[♪ tense music]
Before…
Detective Seo jumped,
he grabbed the investigative material
we had gathered.
I've restored the report
on Lee Mokdan's case,
so let's meet up and talk.
Do you know
what was in the report
on Lee Mokdan's case?
No, but we'll need to figure that out now.
[Haesang] No.
You could end up in danger too…
if you find out what it is.
It doesn't matter.

[Hongsae] I heard that Detective Seo
entrusted the restoration of the report

May I see the report that was restored?
Hmm…
Document restoration
is a process that restores
the original document,
so there are no copies.
[♪ pensive music]
Then what was the report about?
You saw it when you were working on it.
There was nothing special,
just the victim's personal information.
Please contact me if you happen
to remember anything specific.
I will.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help.
No, it's okay. Thank you.
[Ilman] Here, eat.
- I'm fine, really.
- Just eat.
You put in a lot of work

No, I don't know this person.
He was a folklore professor,
and according to a detective I know,
Ms. Chae Seorin met with him
before she passed away.
I did give a detective
a list of books that Ms. Chae searched for
before she died.
However, that's all I know.
Could you show me that list too?
Why are you doing this?

This may sound strange,
but I'm chasing a ghost.
Many people have died
because of that ghost.
But I think Ms. Chae Seorin…
knew something about the ghost.
Are you…
referring to that?

Ms. Chae and I
were in charge of preserving

But before Ms. Chae died,

Ms. Chae cried
because she didn't know why she did it.
Although it was old, it wasn't a rare book
and it wasn't worth preserving.
I thought she would receive
light punishment,
but she died not too long after.
What kind of book was it?

and the author.

Oh, I see.

- Yes.
- [Chulyong] I see.
The book you mentioned, Understanding Art.
- Yes?
- There wasn't a book like that anywhere.
There was only a yearbook.
[Chulyong] Thanks for everything.

By the way,
what's your relationship with my uncle?
I'm his third cousin.
Oh, I see.
[Chulyong] Thanks.
[chuckles]
You can head inside.
Go on.
Third cousin?
But…
[♪ pensive music]
[Chulyong exclaims]
He said there wasn't an art book…
and only this yearbook.
This is more than enough.

JUNE 24
BLUE POTTERY, CORPSE
[Haesang] How did it go?
Did you figure out
what Detective Seo was investigating?
[sighs deeply]
I met the evil spirit.
[tires screeching]
[♪ tense music continues]
- [Hongsae] Hey, you!
- [car horn honking]
[car horn honking]
What are you doing?
[Hongsae panting]
Where are you going?
You're that police officer.
[♪ ominous music]
It's you,
the evil spirit.
Can you give me a ride?
All right, let's go then.
Wherever it is you want to go.
[Sanyeong humming]
[humming continues]
[Hongsae] Where do I need to go?
[Sanyeong] Hmm…
Didn't you ask me to give you a ride
because you had somewhere to go?
Over there.

[toy hammer thumping]
She was very curious…
and adventurous.
She showed signs that she lacked affection
and had extreme mood swings.
[background chatter]
- [passerby 1] Run!
- [passerby 2] Hurry up!
- [passerby 3] Oh, come on.
- [passerby 4] Let's go.
[breathing shakily]
[♪ somber music]
Do you like it here?
Why?
Can't you like me, mister?
I wish at least one person…
would like me.
She had the nature typical of a child…
but she wasn't one.
Every crime…
has a motive.
What was yours?
Why did you kill…
Detective Seo?
You are dead.
Everything should end when you die,
so why are you doing this?
Tell me.
Have you ever died before?
What?
You've never died before,
so why are you speaking
like you know anything about it?
[♪ ominous music]
[child crying]
[child's parent] What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
[crying continues]
Why are you crying?
[child's parent] Tell me.
What's wrong, Arin?
What's wrong?
[Arin groans]
What? Arin, what happened here?
[crying]
- [Arin's parent] When did this happen?
- [Hongsae] Are you crazy?
I hate kids.
They're loud, require too much attention,
and do as they please.
They don't even know what they have.
[breathing shakily]
It's just so unfair.
[♪ music intensifies, fades]
[♪ tense music]
How boring. I want to leave.

She otherized and separated herself
from children when speaking about them.
She wasn't a child…
but she wasn't an adult either.
She was somewhere in between.
She acted like someone
going through puberty.
No, Lee Mokdan was only ten years old.
[sighs]
There's no way.

PHASES OF THE MOON
[Sanyeong] June 7th, 1958.
The day Mokdan was kidnapped.
[♪ tense music]
[♪ music intensifies]
[♪ music stops]
Will there really be…
a lot of delicious food if I go there?
Of course.
There's a lot of delicious food.
Let's go quickly.
[Sanyeong] The moon that night…
was a waning gibbous.
[♪ ominous music]
Mokdan's corpse returned…
on June 24th.
The moon that night…
was a waxing gibbous.
There was no full moon between the time…
Mokdan was kidnapped and killed.
[Sanyeong gasps]
[exhales sharply]
[Sanyeong]
Mokdan couldn't see the full moon.
Then who saw…
that moon?
[thunder rumbling]

Gu Sanyeong, are you okay?
Look at me. Can you not see anything?
[Haesang] There were red bruises
on my father's wrists?
I heard something strange there.
I'll figure out
that child's name even if I die.
[Haesang] I'll get rid of the evil spirit
you made with my own hands.
[Sanyeong] Whenever I touched
objects related to the evil spirit,
I saw things.
[Sanyeong panting]
Now I know
what your grandfather and father did.
[Haesang]
It wants the person you love most.
Mom? Mom!
[Sanyeong]
I want to get rid of the evil spirit.
[breathing heavily]
You all…
killed me.
