EPISODE 16

STRIKE AGAINST DEMOLITION

REVEAL THE TRUTH
AND PUNISH ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE

He has become stronger.

Did you think you could handle me
when you were this weak?

Mo-tak!

Did I get the right leg?

No!

Mun.



Mun.

Listen up, Mun.

At the very end,

we may not be with you.

You know what I'm trying to say, right?

Shin Myeong-hwi is pure evil.

You may have to finish him off
on your own, Mun.

So get up and fight,

no matter what.

Mun!

Mun.

The three of us have already died once,

so we'll gladly die again for your sake.

So let's heal your leg first.



Your leg--

No.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Chu.

I'm grateful to all of you.

But…

I'm more comfortable
with my leg like this anyway.

No.

Mun, don't.

No, Mun!

Oh, my. He's definitely the ace
of our team.

Mun is really…

marvelous.

Fine.

I suppose you're determined
to meet your parents today.

This son of a bitch…

I summon

the evil spirit in him!

All right. You do that.

But just so you know,
you won't be able to see

those old farts you live with after this.

What… What do you mean?

What happened to my grandparents?

Who do you think is inside that car?

My gosh.

Honey, wake up.

This is… What on earth happened?

The choice is yours.

Will you choose your dead parents
over your grandparents who are alive?

No!

Mun.

We've got this.

I'll stop the truck!

No…

Oh, gosh.

He's playing another psychokinetic trick
on this. It won't even budge!

Can't you see?

I'm the only one who can make sure
this accident doesn't take place.

No.

I believe

in Mo-tak,

Ha-na,

and us together as a team.

I believe in us, you bastard!

At times, things will feel unfair

And drive you to the brink of tears

-For no reason
-For no reason

For ordinary people
Who never win first place

Mom.

Mun, what's wrong?

Getting applause

Mun, no. Snap out of it!

Mom…

Mun, no. That is not your mom.
Don't let him fool you!

You must save your mom and dad.

You must save them!

Please! It's time to go,
you son of a bitch!

What?

You did it.

Well done.

-Gosh.
-Oh, dear.

Hey, are you both okay?

Well done, guys.

Mun, you did it.

Ha-na.

We did it!

We outdid that devil's
psychokinetic powers.

If it weren't for me and Ha-na,

we'd be in deep trouble now.

We pulled it off.

Gosh, it's all over now.

Mun.

Yes?

Is it all over now?

What about my mom and dad?

And my grandparents?

They're all fine.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

No, we should thank you.

All of us.

All the souls that were trapped inside

will ascend to Yung soon.

Then you'll finally be able
to meet your parents.

In strict accordance
with the laws of Yung,

I shall hand you over
to the judicial authorities as a criminal.

I bet you think it's over now.

This fight will go on forever.

Your cursed fate

will lead you to a painful death.

And everyone around you

will also die like that because of you.

No.

I don't care even if
this is only the beginning.

Until the day when
there isn't a single evil spirit left,

I will fight

ceaselessly.

And the most important thing is…

the fact that you're finished,
you bastard.

Thank goodness his grandparents are okay.
I've erased their memories.

The truck driver is okay too.

I'll take Mun's grandparents home.

What about Shin Myeong-hwi?

He's fallen back into a coma
now that the evil spirit is gone.

What if he never wakes up and just dies?
That won't happen, right?

We can't let that happen.

He must pay for what he did.

Don't worry.

This world isn't such an easy place.

I'll take him to the best hospital
in the country and make sure he lives.

-Hey, Mo-tak.
-Yes?

Shouldn't you go see a doctor too?

Oh, maybe…

Why did you do that strongman stunt
in the middle of the road?

I thought you were a stunt performer.

What? "Strongman stunt"?

Do you know why I did all that…?

If it weren't for me, we'd be…

-Just drop it.
-I'll carry Mun on my back.

You're worse than him.
You're such a meanie, Ha-na.

I wonder if he's met them.

Yes, I know. You did a great job.
Well done.

-Yes, you did a good job.
-Move.

All right.

Hey, does this mean we're really dead?

I can't believe this.

Why is this place all white?
Are we in heaven?

You idiot, how can we be in heaven?

You know we don't deserve that.

What did we do wrong?

All I did was follow orders and work hard.

Right. But they were all for bad stuff,
you fool.

Whatever. I'm going to pray.

It's not too late yet.

Well, better late than never.

Jeez, why are you praying?
You're not even religious.

Please…

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I don't want to die.

Please let me live. I'll work very hard.

I'll be good. Please…

Please give me a chance.

I'll do everything you tell me to do.

-We'll do anything and everything.
-Give us a chance.

Please give us a chance. Please.

If we're dead,

what about Mun?

My baby, Mun…

He's only 11.

Will Mun's parents

recognize him? He's 18 now, you know.

I'm not sure.

Too much time has passed.

We got into a car accident

and were locked inside an evil spirit
all this time?

You probably feel as though
you just woke up from a long, deep sleep.

However,

seven years have passed.

Seven years?

No way. Seven years?

Then what about our son?

How old would Mun be now?

He'd be 18.

My gosh.

Gosh, what kind of parent does this?

I had no idea.

It was just yesterday.

Just yesterday,

Mun was sitting behind us in the car.

And we said we'd go on a trip.

Come on, Mun!

Draw us in your storybook. Please?

We'll join you, for sure.

I mean it. Pinky swear.

Come on.

My arm's getting tired.

We broke our promise again.

-We never got to keep our word.
-Mun.

Wait, well…

This boy here

saved the two of you.

Thank you.

Mun, my baby…

Would you like to

sit down and have some tea?

We'll talk again after you've calmed down.

This way, please.

Thank you

for saving us.

No problem.

Oh, wait.

What? How…?

No. No way. How…?

Mun…

No. My gosh.

My son.

My son, Mun.

You're Mun.

Mun.

Of course I'd recognize my son.

You're Mun, right?

Yes, you are my son. I'm sure of it.

Mun saved us?

My gosh, you're all grown up now.

I wasn't even there for you.

How did you grow up like this without me?

You grew up all alone, and I…

Mom's so sorry.

I've done nothing for you.

I was never even there for you.

Are you really my son?

You're really Mun?

Mun.

Say something.

It's okay. Talk to us.

It was all a lie.

What?

When I said my tummy hurt,

complained about headaches,

and said I forgot to bring my homework…

They were all…

lies.

-Mun.
-That day too.

The day of the accident.

I actually had my homework with me.

I had remembered to bring everything,

but I lied to you two

because I really missed you.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

Your mom and I were always so busy.

We're really sorry, Mun.

You know,

there was something
I really wanted to tell you.

That accident…

I thought you two ended up like that

because of…

My whole life,
I felt like it was all my fault.

I…

I don't have to feel that way
anymore, right?

I don't have to think like that anymore?

You know,

you can be proud of me.

Everyone says

I look a lot like Dad

and that I'm easygoing like you, Mom.

So…

Mom, Dad.

Rest in peace now.

Let's not feel sorry for one another.

I want you to be at peace

and happy now.

I'll… I will do the same.

I…

Mom, Dad. I love you very much.

-Hurry up, Mun!
-Mun!

-Mun!
-Mun!

Mom, Dad. I missed you.

We love you, Mun.

Be careful.

Jeez, that scared me.

Mun looks so happy.

He looks like a baby
now that he's finally met his parents.

I've never seen him smile like this.

Weirdo.

They must have a lot to catch up on.

Even catching up all night
won't be enough.

EONNI'S NOODLES

Gosh, I'm nervous.

Let's go.

All right, guys. Are you ready?

Yes, for some time now.

Okay.

One, two, three.

What? Why are we still here?

Is this some kind of system error?

Did they lie to us again?

Let's try one more time.

What?

How…

Cheol-jung.

Then this must be…

I figured it'd be better for us
to meet here.

I put in a special request
with the folks in Yung.

Cheol-jung!

How long has it been?

-Yes, come here.
-My gosh.

-Cheol-jung.
-Hey.

-Let's go
-Let's go

Hey, man. Calm down.

-Guys, let's sit down.
-Okay.

-Oh, boy.
-My gosh.

Thanks to you guys,

we get to meet again like this.

Thanks a lot, all of you.

And you've been taking
such good care of my family.

Because of her son who died a bachelor,

my mother must've been devastated.

Thank you so much.

Come on. Of course
we should take care of her.

Hey, let me make you
a nice bowl of noodles.

-I'll put some water on the stove.
-Oh, wait.

No mushrooms, please.

Jeez, don't you worry.
I haven't forgotten that.

Wow, my gosh.

By the way, I heard that my successor

is amazing, just like me.

I heard you're no match for him.

That's not really true.

He's just…
A little better than me, I'd say.

But I wouldn't say he's like you.

From his looks
to his skills and abilities,

he's just like me, his mentor.
He's like a mini-me.

Is he that ugly?

Hey, you're handsome.

So is Mun.

As for me… Everyone already knows.

He's at it again. Goodness.

Stop talking nonsense!

Cheol-jung, what was it like
to be trapped inside the evil spirit?

Don't even bring it up
if you've never experienced it.

-Here we go again.
-Tell us! I want to hear it.

Fine, tell us.

As you know, the evil spirit was…

-My goodness.
-Come on. Keep listening.

-Hear me out.
-You haven't changed one bit.

-I'm telling you.
-Goodness.

What? Come on.

This is the voice recorder
that Ji Cheong-sin had.

There's a recording

of Shin Myeong-hwi's voice telling him
to get rid of me and So Gwon.

And here's a list of people
who went missing after meeting Shin.

It's very likely
that he killed all of them,

so search his place first.

MISSING PERSONS

You may be able to find some remains.

Shin Myeong-hwi…

He's a mayor. How could he…

How could he do this?

Detective Kim Jeong-yeong was right.

She said I'll realize later on that

some people are just plain evil.

But there are people like you who catch

and take down such demons.

Do you plan to return to the force?

Once I wrap this up, I'll go back

to what I was doing.

What is that?

Just something.

Something very important.

Mr. Noh Hang-gyu, are you saying

that you admit to killing Kim Yeong-nim?

It had nothing to do
with Shin Myeong-hwi or Cho Tae-sin?

Correct.

Then let's talk about Noh Chang-gyu now.

Chang-gyu? Why are you bringing him up
all of a sudden?

Haven't you heard?

He was found dead
at Shin Myeong-hwi's residence.

What? Dead?

What the hell are you talking about?

Sir.

Is Chang-gyu…

He's dead?

-This is my first time hearing about it.
-Bullshit!

We listened to the call recordings
on his phone,

so we know it was you, Cho Tae-sin.

Sir.

Sir!

Hey, Cho Tae-sin!

-Tell me. How did my brother die?
-Sit down.

-How did my brother die?
-Sit down!

-Stop him.
-I didn't kill him.

I didn't kill him!

-I'll kill you all.
-Try all you want, you bastard!

-Hey, stop him!
-Kill me!

Noh Hang-gyu, sit down!

You sold your conscience

and turned a blind eye
to your friend's death.

What did you get in return?

Are you happy now?

In my eyes, it looks like
you're feeling very uncomfortable,

guilty, and tormented at the moment.

I have nothing to say.

Zero, one, zero, four, nine, seven…

010-497-4536

Four, five, three, six.

Isn't that your old number, Ms. Jang?

Seven years ago, you tried

to send me a tip
on the Kim Yeong-nim case.

Excuse me. Don't I know you?

I'm… Hold on.

-You have to leave.
-Haven't we met?

Oh! You're Kim Yeong-nim's friend,
aren't you?

Wasn't that you, Ms. Jang?

We have enough evidence

to prove all the crimes
that Shin has committed,

except for Kim Yeong-nim's murder.

You're now the only one who can help us

prove that she was murdered
by Shin Myeong-hwi.

JUNGJIN POLICE STATION

I'm sending a video clip

that can be used as evidence to prove
that Shin killed Yeong-nim.

And I'll also

turn myself in.

I heard you seemed to be recovering.
I'm glad I stopped by.

Talk about perfect timing.

Who are you?

What is this place?

I'm Kang Han-ul
from Jungjin Police Station.

And you're in the hospital now.

How long have I been here?

I don't remember anything.

That's okay.

We've secured solid evidence.

What?

Mr. Shin Myeong-hwi.

You're under arrest for
the murders of Kim Yeong-nim,

Noh Chang-gyu, Lim Jae-cheol,
and many others, as well as for

solicitation of murder, bribery,
and illegal dumping.

What are you doing?

Get that off my wrist now.

A shocking scandal has broken out
surrounding Mayor Shin Myeong-hwi

and Chairman Cho Tae-sin's
criminal charges, including

murder, solicitation of murder,
and bribery.

This unprecedented case
is causing a lot of stir.

Finally, the truth is out.

In the midst of the discovery
of additional evidence,

another voice recording
from an anonymous source

was delivered to News Time
earlier this afternoon.

-A voice recording?
-Please note that

we bleeped out any offensive language
in the recording.

I worked on one of Shin Myeong-hwi's
murder cases seven years ago

with the police couple whose murder
was staged as a traffic accident.

I'm in a completely different line
of work now,

but I also nearly died back then.

Because of that worthless piece of…
That son of… Damn it.

Why did they disguise your voice?

Anyone could tell it's you.

No, that's not me.

Gosh, be quiet.

Mo-tak's on TV now.

And that recent death of a police officer,
which was staged as a suicide,

was also orchestrated by those

who were trying to cover up Shin's crimes.

Lastly, I'd like to express my respect
for those who fight for justice

even in the toughest situations.

Gosh, Mo-tak. It's such a shame that

we didn't get to see
your handsome face on TV.

What are you talking about?

He has a nice voice,
but he's not handsome.

-I'm handsome.
-Jeez.

Gosh, you.

-People are praising you on social media.
-Really?

-Nice!
-Let me see.

-You're so cool, Mo-tak.
-Well done!

"He probably has a nice voice too."

Oh, look!

-What?
-Did we order something?

-Oh, Jin-ho!
-My gosh!

-Oh, my goodness.
-Hey.

-You can put it here.
-What's all this?

They're corn dogs.

-Corn dogs!
-Corn dogs! Let me see.

-Wow.
-Let me see.

-My gosh.
-I love these corn dogs.

-Wow.
-Oh, my.

Nice.

They're good, so I got you guys some.

-My gosh.
-Are you sure you don't want one?

Yes, eat up.

This cheese is to die for.

Maybe we should switch to selling these.

Oh, right. An anonymous sponsor
donated ten billion won

to an environmental organization
in Jungjin.

Really?

I wonder who donated so much money.

My gosh, it must be someone
who loves to spend money.

I have no idea, but the world
isn't such a bad place after all.

That's right! There are
many warmhearted people in this world.

-I'm home.
-Many are grieving

the deaths of the police couple,

-Mr. So Gwon and Ms. Ha Mun-yeong.
-Hey, Mun.

Lieutenant So…

No! No, my baby… My daughter.

-Bring my daughter back.
-Honey.

My daughter! Bring my baby back.

Calm down. Come here.

Please, honey.

I'm sure you've heard the news
about your parents.

I'm sorry, Mun.

I had no idea. And all this time…

I didn't even know
my daughter had died like that.

My sweetie…

Bring back my daughter.

Me? Why should I meet your parents?
Why on earth?

-Jeez.
-Gosh, no way.

You want them to meet your girlfriend?

No, don't get the wrong idea.

You said you're meeting them
for the last time before they leave Yung.

Why do you want them to meet Ha-na?

I'm your mentor, the one who trained you.

What about me?

Well, I support this.

Yes, you have my support.

Well, I just want you to meet

my mom and dad.

They're serious now.

-Yes, why step in?
-Why bother them?

What the… You stepped in first.

Your name is Ha-na?

Yes.

-Even your name is so pretty.
-Gosh, Mom.

Don't stare at her like that.

She's like a younger version of you.

She's totally Mun's type.

-Dad, she can hear you.
-Oh, sorry.

Why give them the wrong idea, Mun?

I thought you guys should meet. Say hello.

Your grandma and grandpa must adore her.

Yes, they do.

Is there anything you'd like to tell them?

Mun's grandparents.

Thank you, Ha-na.

I just thought it'd be more vivid
through you.

Just summon our territory
so it can feel more vivid.

Grandma, Grandpa.

I'm sorry.

This is

the only thing I can do for you.

EONNI'S NOODLES

My gosh.

Ms. Chu! I'm here.

What brings you here?

-What's this car?
-Oh, this.

My secret favorite.

Korean cars are the most comfortable.

Today, I brought my absolute favorite car.

Today?

-Is it some kind of special day?
-Hop in.

-Keep your promise.
-What promise?

Where are we going this late?

You said you'd go for a drive with me
if you came back in one piece.

I believed you,

so I pushed that huge truck
with all my might…

Oh, dear. This is why

you always have to get a signed pledge
for things like this.

Okay, let's go.

We'll go, okay? Stop yelling.

-So we're going for a drive?
-Yes!

Then hop in!

I should go get changed.
It's my first date in years.

It's a date?

-Don't come back.
-Gosh, you scared me.

What are you saying?

Don't come home tonight.

You little punk, I'm offended.

-What are you thinking?
-I know everything.

-What? Have you lost your mind?
-Ms. Chu.

-This, you know?
-You crazy punk! You nutjob.

My, what a beautiful night view.

Right?

She usually doesn't sleep much.

Thank goodness everyone is okay.

We'll never lose another teammate.

I won't let that happen.

You did great, Mo-tak.

My gosh. Not as great as you, Ha-na.

Well, that's true.

Oh, were Mun's grandparents
able to let go of their grief a little?

I hope so.

It's important

to sort out your feelings
and thoughts once in a while.

Even if you try hard
not to notice your wounds,

they don't go away.

They'll remain in the corners
of your heart and keep hurting you.

Ha-na, how do you feel?

What?

All sorted out?

Nothing's hurting you?

Hi, Ha-yeong.

Hi, Mom and Dad.

The reasons as to why you did it

and how you could do such a thing…

I still can't wrap my head around it.
And I…

refuse to understand.

But,

that day…

Even if it was a dream,

I was happy to see you again.

Ung-min! Ju-yeon!

Gosh, Mun looks so happy.

Right?

He looks like he got into college
or something.

Ta-da!

Nice.

-What is this?
-It's still warm.

You're in 12th grade now.

I'll take care of you
so you can study hard.

What about you?

You're also in 12th grade now.

Right. I am, but…

Oh, I'm a 12th grader too.

This is too hot.

Hey, he's a hero.
He shouldn't have to study.

He just needs… His powers!

His superpowers.

But even a hero
can't be too ignorant, right?

-If you have no knowledge in your--
-Hey!

I'm studying art and sports.

Anyway, I'll take care of you guys

until we graduate. Does that sound good?

-I want more of this.
-Sure.

Mun.

Hey, don't you go to our school?

Mun, Hyeok-u assembled my friends again.

What?

-That jerk.
-Hey, hold on.

Why? Look how scared they are…

No, Hyeok-u is

apologizing to them.

I'm sorry, guys.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

I was flustered that day,
so I couldn't say anything.

Right.

I was going to call you after I drop out.

You're dropping out?

Thank you, for that day.

And…

I'm sorry, Ung-min.

I'm sorry, Mun.

And you too, Ju-yeon.

This feels so weird.

I feel uneasy right now.

But I also feel like

some of my pent-up resentment
is going away.

-Shall we begin?
-Yes.

All right. You may play the recording.

PROSECUTION

Someone else is on the Kim Yeong-nim case?

In addition to Ga Mo-tak?

Did you find out who it is?

Yes, a detective at
the Nambu Police Agency. So Gwon.

So Gwon?

The one who was investigating
the election campaign fund?

Shall I send my boys out
to scare him a little?

Let's not take a detour.

Just kill them both.

Ga Mo-tak, So Gwon.

-What?
-My gosh.

-Gosh.
-I can't believe this.

This is insane.

PROSECUTION

Defendant Shin Myeong-hwi.

Is that your voice?

Do you admit to making that remark?

Defendant.

Answer the prosecutor's question.

I…

admit it.

I will announce the verdict.

Based on the recording

of the defendant's voice
giving orders to kill So Gwon,

as well as the testimony

of the defendant's son who saw
the person who received the orders,

there is no doubt that the defendant
indeed ordered the murders

of the victims, So Gwon and Ha Mun-yeong.

Ergo, the defendant is guilty.

-My gosh.
-Thank goodness.

Well done.

-My gosh.
-Thank God.

I really hope you stay healthy.

You got a life sentence,
so I hope you live long.

When I found out it was a murder,
not an accident,

I got so angry
that I felt like I was going crazy.

But now that I'm seeing you like this,

I'm so proud of my parents
who lost their lives

while trying to catch you.

I will never forgive you.

Mun, what do you want? Sprite or Coke?

Half and half.

Mo-tak, soju or beer?

A soju bomb.

Hey, you're a minor.

Just until this year.

ONE MONTH LATER

The whole country?

You should send us on vacation
if anything.

Patrol the whole country?

This is too cruel.

It's such a relief that we eradicated
the absolute evil,

but some evil spirits are hiding
in areas that we've been neglecting.

Korea is a small country.

Just work hard for a month and--

Then why don't you do it yourself?

We're still recovering
from our last fight with Shin.

What? Go around the whole country?

-We don't even know where they're hiding.
-Right!

We arrived at this decision
after long and careful consideration.

It's all thanks to Mun.

What? Mun?

-Hey, was this your idea?
-What?

No! I never said anything like that.

-U-sik, what are you talking about?
-No, no.

It's because Mun has the ability
to summon our territory.

Wait, hold on a second.

Don't tell me you actually expect me
to go around

the whole country
and summon our territory.

Summoning our territory isn't an easy job.

You folks are working him like a dog.

We understand you're short-handed,
so we're discussing

ways to hire more Counters.

Give us a little bit of time.

Gosh, okay.

I guess we have no choice.

Let's just think that we're going on
a cross-country road trip together.

I like this idea.

-You little brat.
-Gosh!

-Hey!
-I'll teach you a lesson.

-You, come here!
-How dare you!

-Get back here!
-You're really something.

It's all right. I have nine more anyway.

I have 20 more.

But why do we have to wear this
all the time?

-Be quiet, will you?
-Okay.

This is just wrong.

I'll go back to Yung and negotiate with--

Negotiate? As if.

You can't even put your foot down.

I should've stopped you when you said

you were going there to put in
a vacation request.

By the way, will they manage
to find a new Counter?

So I won't be the newbie anymore?

Why? So you can discipline the newbie?

Yes, of course.

-Jeez.
-Goodness.

-Don't be ridiculous.
-Gosh.

Whatever, I don't care.
We're not machines.

-We're not.
-Right, we need a break.

We should eat well and recharge.

It'll help us catch more evil spirits.

-Yes.
-Let's play!

-Okay.
-Mun, find a good restaurant.

-A restaurant?
-There are no evil spirits

in this tiny country town!

I just stepped on one. Turn around.

-Make a U-turn!
-Gosh, you.

-Goodness!
-You and your mouth.

-Oh, boy.
-Damn it!

-Coming through.
-My gosh.

What happened?

My goodness.

The victims are his mother and sister.

They're not critically injured.

I heard he has a lot of gambling debt,

but still… How could he do that
to his mom and sister?

Where am I now?

-Who are you?
-You bastard.

Are you on something?

Was it another anonymous tip?

Yes, sir. Someone called and asked us
to take away this jerk.

Gosh, I wonder who it is though.

Anonymous tips have been pouring in
across the country.

Here.

This is tiring but rewarding
at the same time.

I'm exhausted.

Where to next?

Jeju Island?

-Are you excited?
-Yes.

He's so hyped up now.

My gosh, the moon's so bright tonight.

This feels like a vacation.

Look at us chilling
and enjoying delicious food together

whenever we have some time.
I'd say we're on vacation now.

-I'll do it.
-Hold on, Mun.

-What?
-Everything in its own time.

I don't grill meat for just anyone.

But it smells so delicious.
I want one now.

-Doesn't it smell amazing?
-My gosh!

Mo-tak, I didn't know
you had a skill like that.

I used to grill a lot of meat
when I was a rookie cop.

Look at you!

Don't you think it'll rain soon?
We should go inside.

-Come on.
-Don't be such a spoilsport.

All right, it's ready!

-My gosh.
-I want meat.

-Here you go.
-Let's eat.

-Doesn't it look good?
-Oh, my.

-My gosh.
-This one too.

-All right, let's go.
-Let's eat! Here you go.

My gosh, we can't even find
a proper restaurant here.

This is our first feast in a long time.

This is amazing. My gosh.

This is bringing back some old memories.

You know, back in my day…

Back when I was a detective,

whenever I opened my mouth
to eat something,

the suspect would show up--

-Hold on.
-What?

-Damn it, Mo-tak! Why? Just why?
-Did you have to say that?

Did you spot one? For real?

No, just hold on.

-It's not an evil spirit.
-What's going on?

Hey, what is it? What's going on?

-Sir!
-What brings you here?

You didn't even call.

Long time no see, Ms. Chu.

Did you come all the way here
to see Ms. Chu?

No, that's not why I'm here.

I came to take care
of an urgent complaint.

-Mun.
-Yes?

I heard you're too embarrassed to work
because you have to wear

that red tracksuit every day.
You also said

you want to quit your job as a Counter
because it looks so lame.

-What?
-What?

-Me?
-Yes.

-Hey, Mun.
-Mo-tak! I bet it was you!

-Mo-tak said that.
-Gosh, seriously.

I knew it.

I guessed it might be Mo-tak's prank.

All right. Let's get started!

-Start what?
-What is that?

-My gosh.
-Wow.

-Who are they?
-What's going on?

-Oh, hello.
-Hello.

What is going on?

-Go look.
-Wow.

-What is this?
-Hop in.

What is this?

It's a system that allows you
to select the fabric and design you want.

My gosh.

-Oh, sure.
-My gosh.

Sorry, just a moment.

-Gosh, that tickles.
-Like this?

-Okay, let's try that again.
-What?

-Did you say 126?
-All right.

Measure properly!

The waist? Okay.

A little longer. That's it.

-Nice, thank you.
-Thank you.

-Gosh.
-Oh, no. What do I do?

Don't worry. We'll take care of that.

Who are those punks?

No idea.

Those persistent jerks.
They keep following us.

Damn it. Let's just fight.

Maybe they're just losers.

-Damn it.
-Shit.

I like that attitude.

That bold, go-getter attitude.

Although you'll regret saying that
right away.

All four of them?

Yes, all of them.

Is roaming around in groups

the latest trend among evil spirits now?

Who are you guys?

Jeez, there's a kid.

Are you a family?

No, we're not.

Shut up, kiddo.

You little…

Did that taste good, you bastards!

Take that!

You bastard!

You punks!

What's wrong with being young?

Gosh…

Who are you people?

We're…

We sell noodles and catch evil spirits.

We're the Uncanny Counters.
