Se-ah.
IF WISHES COULD KILL
I'm okay.
There was another person?
Yes.
I was so scared that I woke up right away,
but there was one in front of me and one behind me.
So does that mean there could've been more than one person?
Got the knife and spirit compass?
With this, they won't be able to touch you.
But if it breaks, you must return immediately.
Okay.
And if the timer starts again, come back immediately.
Don't answer any calls on your phone. Ignore all text messages too.
If I need to, I'll reach you through Bangwool or Ha-joon.
You're still the same. Always nagging.
I mean, stop worrying already.
You do nag a lot.
That's why I like you.
Take good care of the kids.
Don't worry.
No matter what happens, I'll make sure not a hair on their heads is harmed.
Okay? Don't you worry.
We'll be back.
What is it? Did you forget something?
Well,
thanks.
I'm thanking you for helping us.
And while we're out, make sure to take care of your injuries.
So Ha-young can't leave the house at all, right?
No.
If she left the house,
her body couldn't handle it. That's why.
Is she sick?
Not exactly. How should I explain this?
Let's see.
I don't care why.
For the rest of her life, she won't be able to leave that house?
Just answer that.
I'll find a way for her to get out, no matter what.
I'll do whatever it takes.
GOODBYE FROM SEORIN-SI
Hello.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Se-ah's aunt asked me to run an errand.
What about you?
Let's talk inside.
REPAIR COMPLETE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
How about fixing this for my birthday?
I told you I'm busy.
The PIN is the same.
What are you doing?
I feel bad for Hyeong-wook, but I'll check everything.
His browser history, cookies, cache, logs, messages, and even hidden temp files
to see how he found out about Girigo.
His phone is synced to his Google account,
so I can see what he searched and which sites he visited on his phone.
I don't follow, but this will take a while, huh?
No, it will be quick.
I'm only checking June 2.
-The day before the math exam? -Yeah.
Hyeong-wook was so stressed about studying that he even took meds.
Even so, since he never spent money on games…
Whether he believed in Girigo or not,
he would've tried every last thing before making the wish.
Yeah.
Nothing special the day before the exam. He was just on Discord a lot.
He was doing a lot of disco?
Discord.
Basically, it's a social platform
that combines screen sharing, messaging, voice chat, and forums in one place.
Huh? What do I do?
Let's answer it. With the mic off.
OGRE MIN-SOO-SAN
Choi Hyeong-wook, what the fuck is going on?
I've been shitting myself!
You know him?
Why aren't you answering me? If you picked up, say something!
Hello?
Choi Hyeong-wook?
You're not him, are you?
Who are you?
Gomen!
I can't use the mic.
Where are you? The study room?
Damn, you're studying your ass off. What, shooting for SNU?
But why were you so scared?
Somethin' up?
There's a rumor going around that you're dead, dumbass!
Man, I almost felt bad for you.
Why would he feel bad?
This punk knows what Girigo is.
Is that why you called me?
Scared I'd come back as a ghost to haunt you?
To see if I'm still alive?
That's not it, man.
Remember what you asked me to get you last time?
I got it.
What now? You want it?
Fufufu, that would be great.
How about now?
Now?
In that case, I'll see you there in an hour. That spot.
Where is that spot?
You guys don't know? Oh man.
What now?
Hold on a second.
Hyeong-wook's phone is synced with his Google account,
so I can see his past routes.
From what he said, it sounds like they met up a lot lately.
It must be a spot that shows up a lot.
"Baekun Middle School"?
Sorry, one sec.
The phone's not gonna magically appear.
You've already checked this spot three times.
If you still can't find it, it's probably not here.
Na-ri, let me use your phone.
You don't even know what you might find in my photos.
I just wanna watch the video you took again.
I think it might have captured where my phone flew off.
And here I was thinking…
Just saying, but don't look at anything else.
All right.
Se-ah.
If you're gonna do that all day, I'm going home.
Give me my phone.
It's about time he showed up.
It's been an hour.
This won't do.
Show up!
That didn't work.
Watch closely.
Show up!
Look, he's here.
It's him.
I'll be right back.
You must bring him.
-You know that, right? -Yeah.
Man, I don't know about this.
To be honest, me too.
Now where was that bus stop again?
I mean, the bus stop…
The bus stop should be…
Not interested.
-What? -You heard me.
No, I was just--
So many people who really need help suffer because of people like you!
How can someone trying to spread their religion start with a lie?
This guy is unbelievable.
Ogre Min-soo-san?
-Yeah. Wait, huh? -Huh?
So it is you, you punk.
Huh?
Hey, you punk!
Hey! Get him!
Hey! Stop right there!
Why are they chasing me?
Hey, you punk! Why are you running away?
-If you can't keep up, stay here. -Just go, hurry!
Hey, I said stop!
Hey, why would you even go up there?
Then why the hell are you chasing me?
Son of a…
-What about Se-ah? -No idea. She's gone.
I think we lost her.
Hey!
Where are they?
Damn it.
For the love of…
-Hey. -Go home.
I told you to go home!
I told you to stop.
Huh?
Was that Se-ah?
Hurry! To the rooftop!
That really hurts.
Hey.
I told you to stop, didn't I?
What even are you?
What are you?
-Been to Hyeong-wook's birthday party? -Party? We're not fucking kids.
I guess you're not close to Hyeong-wook.
What did you do to Hyeong-wook?
I believe in gender equality!
Even with girls, I can hit them like this! Like this!
What the fuck did you do to him?
Se-ah, are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay.
-You're not hurt? -No.
Are you okay? Where is that punk?
Over there.
What's wrong with him? Did you do this?
No.
Hey.
Oh, he's fine.
Look at me.
I'm not a cult member.
Okay?
So Hyeong-wook reached out first and asked for this?
Yes, sir.
I'm not a drug dealer or anything.
Hyeong-wook said he was struggling
because the side effects from his meds made his heart race.
I was trying to give him the meds I use for side effects.
Then why'd you run when you saw me?
I came to meet Hyeong-wook.
Of course I'd run if some weird guy kept talking to me.
-Me? -No, sir.
So you met Hyeong-wook on Discord?
And you sent him the Girigo link?
Why did you send it?
So he'd make a wish and die?
We're the ones you chatted with earlier.
Hyeong-wook…
Hyeong-wook is dead.
Stop pretending to be shocked!
You knew he would die too. That's why you were shitting yourself!
Hyeong-wook also saw the post.
He didn't read it properly.
-It was all written there. -What post?
The post. I'll show you.
The post…
It's been deleted.
-Hey. -Wait. Only the content's gone.
-Let me… -Messing with us?
-Give me your phone. -Let me try it now.
"Seorin High ghost story"?
Hyeong-wook
was really excited since it was about his school.
Did this post mention what happens if the wish is granted?
It might've been there, or it might not--
Hey.
Say it straight.
I really don't remember!
It's all we talked about when we chatted on Discord.
How am I supposed to remember all of that?
I wasn't as close to him as you guys, but I was his friend too.
At least on Discord, I was his best friend.
What's this rule?
The post removal rules.
POST HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO A VIOLATION
Must be the name and picture.
No, I'm sure of it.
It's a violation if even one of them is in a post.
That post had both names and a photo, so I remember thinking it was risky.
Well, that's what made it more fun.
Do you remember the names?
Kwon Si-won, Do Hye-ryung.
You said you didn't remember the contents,
but you remember the exact names.
At our school, everyone knew
there was a crazy shaman's daughter at Baekun.
A shaman's daughter?
Yes, sir.
You said there was a photo too?
If what you say is true,
there should be a cached image on Hyeong-wook's laptop.
-I'm sorry. -No, I'm fine.
Is this the photo from the post?
It is.
On the left, Kwon Si-won.
Right, Do Hye-ryung, the shaman's daughter.
KANG HA-YOUNG
FILE TRANSFER
No need to be scared.
Where's the shaman's home?
I'm asking where Do Hye-ryung lives. You don't know?
I do know the neighborhood.
I'll report you to the police! I hope your tires…
He wasn't lying. That's for sure.
Se-ah, you said you saw two female students in your dream, right?
Yes.
It was so quick I barely saw their faces,
but there were two.
We're heading to the neighborhood where Do Hye-ryung lived.
I'll call you right away if we go there and find or learn anything.
Okay. Be careful, all of you.
Okay. Don't worry too much.
Why did it go out of its way to come all the way in here?
Here, take a look.
On the gates or somewhere high enough to be seen from outside,
you'll see flags or symbols like these.
Like this.
Just like this.
If you see houses like this, don't just go in.
Tell me right away.
-Okay? -Okay.
All right.
Let's go!
Seriously.
Let's go that way.
This way.
That way.
Do you know where you're going?
Hold on just a second.
The sun will set by the time we get to the top.
Are we really just wandering around clueless?
Are you tired?
-I'm sorry. -No, that's not what I meant.
I just thought it would be harder to search once the sun sets,
so it might be better to split up--
That's the reason we're trying to get to the top.
What are you talking about?
Just trust your brother-in-law.
Let's go!
I'll push you.
No, I'm good.
Brother-in-law, you've got this!
-Huh? -Huh?
There's a house with the lights on.
Okay, we found it.
CORNER STORE
Hello, ma'am.
I'm sorry for waking you.
I said I'll leave when it's time!
-No, that's not why we're here. -Why do you keep bothering me?
Hello, ma'am.
-Hello. -Hello.
Oh my, I thought you were a hired thug based on your looks.
The hired thugs must be quite handsome.
Hot, huh? You guys each pick two of the most expensive ones here.
Okay.
Yeah. Grab a drink.
Goodness, the expensive ones aren't there. They're over there.
Let's buy them all.
-We need all of them. We'll take them all. -Goodness, thank you so much.
Actually, we heard there's a great shaman around here.
One with a daughter.
Well…
Oh, I don't know about "great,"
but there was a quack shaman around.
Do you know where her house is?
If you go out and keep heading up to the left,
there's a house with a green gate.
Oh, are you friends with her daughter?
Well…
I think it's been about three years since I last saw her.
Is this the girl you're talking about?
Oh, that's the one.
What was her name again?
Hye-ryung.
Do Hye-ryung.
Oh, what are you talking about?
She didn't have such a unique surname.
-She just had a common one. -Sorry?
This is her.
The shaman's daughter.
You mean it's not her,
but her?
That's right. That's the one.
Good night, ma'am.
Hey.
Yeah.
Should I give the salt back to the elderly lady?
Se-ah, salt is expensive.
-Huh? -It also has a lot of uses.
It fits perfectly.
Let's go. Did she say it was this way?
Yes.
-Huh? A flag. -The symbol!
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Come in.
The homeowner sure was a show-off.
-Can you hand me that? -Sure.
This is called a dangganjiju.
It's used to put up flags at large temple ceremonies.
It doesn't suit this place.
There's blood on it.
She wasn't a shaman
nor a ritual master.
What the hell?
Stop.
Don't move.
-Don't move. -Jesus.
-You two, get closer. -What?
-Get closer to each other. -Why?
-What are you doing? -Get really close.
I'll tell you. Just wait.
I'm putting up a ward
to protect you from stray spirits.
Stick closer.
Stick close together.
Do not step outside this circle, okay?
I mean, it's so hot today.
Did you really have to make it so small?
Yeah. The bigger the ward is, the weaker it gets.
Now,
if I shout for you to get out, or if I don't come out in ten minutes,
run to the car without looking back.
Use this to open the car door,
get inside, lock the door, and call Haetsal on speakerphone.
And don't come out until sunrise. Okay?
-Yeah. -Okay.
What the heck is that?
Oh God, what?
Don't move.
-Are you for real? -Do not cross the line.
What if something happens to us?
Then just scream. Loudly.
"Brother-in-law"!
It sure is hot today, isn't it?
Yeah. It really is.
Is that blood?
How long has it been?
It's been three minutes.
It's so hot and uncomfortable. Time is dragging.
Right?
Yeah, that's right.
It's uncomfortable.
There's no shrine.
Se-ah.
What is it?
Stay still.
Why?
I'm sorry.
Are you out of your mind?
-Sorry, there was a mosquito. -Seriously…
Ha-joon.
Do you
see that too?
Huh?
What are you doing? Where are you going?
Where are you going?
A painting of hell in a shrine?
Huh?
This feels eerie.
What was she trying to protect?
What the hell?
A deolmi?
Is this a spell?
Is that a drawer or a door?
Man, that got me good.
Ha-joon.
Don't you see it?
Huh?
You're scaring me. There's nothing there.
Where are you going?
Our school?
Excuse me!
Hey.
Where were you guys? I told you not to leave the circle.
I saw the girl from my dream.
I followed her and found this photo there.
This wasn't just one person's doing.
It seems the temple and the shrine were mixed,
but I'm not sure.
With the spell they were casting and the ruined shrine mixed up,
I can't tell if they were cursing someone or praying to save someone.
And you're sure that the shaman died?
The old lady said she saw her being taken away after she died.
Or should we dig into what kind of shaman she was?
No. Let's focus on the red phone for now.
There's a photo with the window I saw at the place Se-ah was taken.
One of them must have taken a video there.
The phone turned into a maehyung must be there.
All right.
Haetsal, don't worry so much.
I'll find it somehow.
But how do I find it?
It'd be nice if this were a digital photo.
-Why's that? -Digital photos have location data.
Huh? Why didn't I think of that?
-Just a sec. -Sure.
What?
What is it?
In the metadata of Geon-woo's wish video…
See these numbers? That's the GPS data.
If you look up these numbers, it shows you where the video was taken.
Judging by the Girigo code,
all the videos were likely uploaded to the server.
So we just need to download the video from the server and check the GPS data?
Yeah.
You sure are amazing, brother-in-law. Seriously amazing.
This only lets devices registered on the server log in.
Wait! I've seen this screen before.
Huh?
Where?
ADMIN ID 4BONG
On Coach Song's computer.
Is someone still here?
Coach Song will be coming out soon.
She's always the last to leave.
So there won't be anyone at school once Coach Song leaves?
Yes.
What about the CCTVs?
There's a way.
Se-ah.
The ghost you said you saw today,
can you tell who she is in this photo?
No. I don't know who she is, but I think she's trying to help me.
She found this for me.
Let's not jump to conclusions so easily.
She might be slowly trying to reel us in.
Most ghosts do that.
Then shouldn't we come up with a plan?
We do have a plan.
Me and your sister.
Big talk usually ends in a big stumble.
Ha-joon.
-Come on, let's go. -Okay.
Just the two of you?
It's our school. It'll be quickest that way.
Even if we're caught, it's simpler.
Hold on.
But be quick.
Okay.
And be careful.
Okay.
How did you know there was a hole in the fence here?
I'm the one who made it.
What for?
To make the national team.
I wanted to practice more in secret.
Let's go.
Okay.
One, two, three, four.
That's the code?
Yeah. Our coach uses it for everything.
They're all the same.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Thank you.
YOUTH SMARTPHONE APP DEVELOPMENT CONTEST GIRIGO
GIRIGO/VIDEO
Hold on.
What is it?
Are you sure
there are only Girigo wish videos here?
Yeah.
Then this one's…
also a wish video, right?
There are two people I want dead, okay?
NOVEMBER 4, 2008 LIM NA-RI
First is Choi Hyeong-wook.
You're a given.
Na-ri made a wish.
Geon-woo, wait for me.
But then
how is Na-ri still alive?
