-Remembered everything, right?
-Yes.
-Hm.
-Okay.
-There's a defect in the coffin.
-Huh?
Oh Oh, we don't have any more left.
-This is the last one?
-Yes.
[exhales sharply]
Well, then.
Let's get her dressed up,
and we'll keep her in the morgue.
By her burial date,
we'll have a different coffin.
Yes, sir. I'll get that done.
[scrubbing]
[corpse groans]
-[gasps] Sir?
-[corpse groaning]
What?
She's not dead.
She's alive.
The corpse just made a noise.
-Don't shout. She'll hear you.
-[gasps]
She's deceased, she's not a corpse.
The dead are still people.
Oh.
-[groaning]
-[gasps]
Told you.
That's the sound of built-up gases
escaping from the deceased.
Ah
Get some fresh air.
[exclaims] Oh! Oh, no
[exhale] I apologize. I can finish with--
Go rest. We'll finish it later.
Once you've said sorry.
Right.
I beg your pardon for my behavior.

[Seokhui sighs]
Right, now that that's all done,
would you please contact her family?
Sure.
[footsteps receding]
[clipping]
[woman] Am I dead?
Yes.
[continues clipping]
[woman gasps]
I can't be dead.
Please tell me I'm not dead.
That's just your regret.
You must pass on in peace.
[woman shudders] I can't.
I can't.
Many of those I see
react just like you.
They too are mourning what they've lost.
[woman whispering] No. It's not that.
[clipping]
Accepting death is hard.
For a few,
it requires quite a bit of time.
[woman] I can't accept it.
I'm not ready.
We all fear the unknown, my dear.
I promise you'll find your peace.
[continues clipping]
[woman] Then
[whispering] what happens to me now?
Well, you are going to go
to a better place.
[woman] Where am I going?
It's a world
where everybody can eventually move on.
[continues clipping]
[inhales]
Now, you please rest.
Once everything's complete,
we'll return for you.
[woman shudders]
Sir?
It's dark in here.
Soon you'll be in a world that's brighter.
[woman shudders]
Am I alone?
Yes.
[woman] Thank goodness.
Please rest well.
You're going to a better place.
And when you make it there,
you will find comfort, too.
And forget this place.
[woman] I'll forget this place?
Everything?

Which floor?
Um
Floor eight, please.
Oh.
I see.
[sighs]
Excuse me, sir.
Why do you need floor eight?
Visitors are not permitted there at night.
The only thing there
is the intensive care unit.
Oh.
I know because I work there.
Do you have many patients?
What?
The accident
The critically injured patients.
Do you think they'll wake up?
Hmm
Well
I'm not sure if they will.
After all, they are critically injured.
[sighs in exasperation]
Um
It all depends on their will to live.
[sobbing]
[water running]
Um, sir, you're uh
[gasps]
[gasps]
Are you okay?

Sir, what's wrong?
[exclaiming]

Uh-huh.
[digital beeping]
-[telephone ringing]
-[Jeongwon] Hello?
Yeah.
Nurse Kwon.
-Nurse Kwon.
-Yeah?
TA two.
-Get the ICU ready.
-Uh-huh.
LIGHT SHOP
What brings you here then?
Uh, can you tell me if you saw
a man about in his mid-30s, 180,
with short, dark hair.
He looks, uh, plain.
-[inhales]
-[rain pattering]
Nobody like that.
I know the description doesn't help.
Though, I guess
he couldn't hide in here anyway.
But the suspect does have
one strange quality.
Put him in bright light
and his eyes shine like a cat's.
-[squelching]
-[grunting]
-[squelching]
-[exhales]
So, he wasn't here?
Nope, he wasn't here.
And what is it
that brings you to this place?
[exhales]
The store's noticeable
with all these lights on.
[electrical buzzing]
No.
I'm not talking about the store.
He was riding a scooter and it was noisy,
so I followed the sound
and that's how I found this place.
You didn't hear a scooter come by here?
No, I'm afraid not.
Huh. All right then.
Goodbye.
[Wonyoung] Why don't you stay a while?
It's raining hard.
It'll be fine.
-[Wonyoung] You don't have an umbrella.
-[exhales]
[Wonyoung] It's the only place
open at this hour.
The one you're looking for
could end up coming around.
[monitor beeping]
Weren't there supposed to be
two TA patients?
What happened to the other?
He's in worse condition.
We're out of ICU units, so he's in Ward 1.
-Oh.
-[Minji sighs]
We're running of beds
because of that accident.
On top of that,
more and more patients are coming in
and it's getting to be too much to handle.
What do we do?
[sighs wearily] What the hell happened
to the new nurses they said they'd send?
Any patients in recovery?
We can move the alcoholic patient
to general, can't we?
His status?
I removed the restraints
and lowered the sedatives.
And once his sedatives are complete,
move him to general,
so he won't disturb the others.
-[Seon] To the general ward.
-[Minji] Yes, ma'am.
Or he could just quit drinking.
Alcoholics have a disease.
I know. You're right.
I'm just frustrated
'cause we've got so few ICU beds
and we're using them on alcoholics.
And he's been here multiple times, too.
[sighs]
[Minji] Single rooms
and ICU units are expensive!
Think of what he's doing to his family!
If we discharge him,
he'll come back drunk.
Discharge him again, drunk again.
[exhales] That's enough.
To us, they're all still patients.
Ma'am. [grins]
[chuckles] Take a break.
Go and get some food.
-Thanks.
-Okay.
[chuckles]
[door closes]
Um
If it's okay with you,
could I handle the transfer?
[Jeongwon] Why?
I was hoping to speak to him.
About what?
Well, just about the drunk driver
who ran into me a few years ago.
Why would you want to talk
about those things?
It's what happened after.
[Jeongwon] Hm?
You know what it is.
[chuckles]
Go ahead.
Ma'am.
[breathing heavily]
What is going on here?
[breathing heavily]
-[woman] Hello.
-[gasps]
You've seen me, right?
Yeah.
[Hyunju] Good evening.
You see me right now?
Uh-huh.
You're You're my next-door neighbor--
-Are you here to get lights?
-[stutters] Yeah.
Didn't you also go yesterday?
Yeah.
[Jiyoung] You buy them often.
[sighs] I'm helping Mom with errands.
You get back safe then.
[exhales]
[exhales sharply]
I'm so sorry.
I need to quit drinking.
You're getting yourself
in a lot of danger.
Yeah. I know I am.
I'm sorry.
No, you don't.
Alcoholism can cause liver failure,
which can lead to death.
[Junu sighs]
Yeah, death.
You don't recall?
You were in and out of consciousness
and saying nonsense.
You were hallucinating something.
Almost like someone was talking to you.
[groans] You're getting dirt on me!
[groans] Go away.
-Who did you see?
-Huh?
[groans] Go.
You're getting dirt on me!
Getting dirt on me. [groans] Go away.
Who do you think you saw?
You never know who it could be.
Delirium is common
with the critically ill.
So I'm delirious?
Those who get into serious accidents
or alcoholics can sometimes have delirium.
They often can't think straight,
and they lose short-term memory.
They can't discern people or places,
and they suffer visual
and auditory hallucinations.
That's when the delirium can take them.
The ICU is the border
that straddles life and death.
Many enter and leave through its doors.
Some people leave alive.
Some people leave dead.
-[shudders]
-[Youngji] I wonder who it was you saw.
[shudders]
Sleep well, sir.
[Junu gasps] Nurse! It's too dark!
Nurse, I'm scared.
[shuddering]
I'm scared.
[shudders]
[breathing heavily] Please, nurse. Please.
[breathing heavily]
I've seen him before as well.
The person that you saw.
Huh?
[breathing heavily]
I was once in a serious car accident,
and was sent to the Intensive Care Unit.
Basic traumatic brain injury,
and was unconscious.
I was neither alive,
nor was I really dead.
I also experienced delirium.
I just narrowly survived.
When I woke up,
I had a hard time adjusting to things.
[Junu breathing heavily]
And occasionally, ever since,
I keep seeing someone.
Would you mind it if
if you told me who you see?
Someone I can't be sure is human.
You have to save her somehow!
What do you mean
you're not sure?
Because you can't tell.
Even looking closely you won't know.
If they're human, or they're not.
I get confused, too.
Why are you going to the eight floor?
What do they look like then?
They're a little different.
It's hard to distinguish.
[Junu] Are they ghosts?
[Youngji] I don't know.
However, I do know who it was you saw.
Sir? You can't be in here.
Someone who is not dead,
yet not living anymore.
Where's the morgue?
[Youngji] I didn't realize it at the time.
How How'd he get there?
He was a patient,
unconscious and barely holding on.
That's why I do what I can
to help them live.
I heard that they buried you alive
because you owed them too much money.
So I think I know why
you were trying to find the morgue.
You thought that you'd end up a burden
to your family, didn't you?
I was that way too.
I wandered around for a long time also.
I wanted to surrender.
And then
I was lucky to have someone
give me the will to live.
And so, I survived.
I'll stay right here, okay?
Better not give up.
I don't know if you can hear me but
even if you can't
you must stay strong.
COME BACK TO US, YOUNGJI!
I'll be waiting for you.
The minute you hear me,
if you're ready,
give me a call, all right?
PLAYING NOW
WHERE THE WIND COMES FROM
If you've seen someone
who's on the border of life and death,
then that means
that you yourself are on the border
of life and death as well.
If you keep seeing them
as often as you do,
who knows what'll happen?
So, seriously, I'm begging you.
Take care of yourself.
[exhales sharply]
[Hyunju sighs] Seriously,
what the heck is going on around here?
Oh.
Good evening.
[exhales]
Sheesh.
[breathing heavily]
-[man] Hey, you.
-[gasps]
[shudders] Yes.
[man] You seen a dog?
[stuttering] Dog?
I can't sleep because of that fucking dog.
[shudders]
Every time I'm trying to get some sleep,
that son of a bitch
just keeps barking over and over!
I can't live like this. You know?
Can you hear that barking? Huh?
[inhales sharply]
[Wonyoung] There are people
who are a bit strange.
You have to look closely to know.
[Byeongjin] I should've never
come out here.
I came out here to look for it
and then that stupid dog
actually started chasing me.
Barking at me over and over again.
[grunts]
-Kid, have you seen a dog out here or not?
-[motor whirring]
No, I haven't seen it.
Hey. Hear that?
Where the hell
is this fucking barking coming from?
-There! Can't you hear it?
-[gasps]
[stuttering] No, I don't
[Wonyoung] You have to look at them
very closely.
[inhales sharply]
[Byeongjin] Hey. You don't hear that? Huh?
But I-- You
-hear that?
-[gasps]
Yeah, you! You fucker!
[Wonyoung] Then you pretend
you didn't see anything strange.
Just act like you saw nothing.
Sir?
Sir, my mom's waiting. And I'm late.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Go on. Go on. Go on.
Go home.
[panting]
[elevator dings]
[shudders]
[Jeongwon] Vitals are back to normal.
[Daehwan] Well done. [sighs in relief]
[doctor] He's not out of the woods yet.
Honestly, it's a miracle
he's still hanging on.
[Daehwan] True.
He's been on the verge of death
so many times already.
I have no idea what kind of forces
are keeping him alive.
[woman shudders]
[doctor] Your guess is as good as mine.
[woman shudders]
[Jeongwon]
This patient remains unconscious.
Where does his will come from?
It could be that it's not just his will
that we're seeing right now.
[digital beeping]
[shudders]
[beeping continues]
[stuttering] Someone
anyone can you hear me?
[shudders] Help me out.
You see me, don't you? Right over here.
[crying] I've been here so long!
So, please. I wanna leave!
Help me! Won't you, help me? [crying]
[beeping gets louder]

Something really weird happened!
Why is it so dark in here?
[breathing heavily]
[Hyunju] Are you mad at me for being late?
Oh, what, the lightbulb again?
Oh, Mom, I didn't forget it on purpose.
I went all the way down to the light shop,
even though it was pouring rain
the entire time.
[sighs] There were so many weirdos
running around out there though,
and the light shop owner
told me that I should just go.
So, I'm sorry, I really couldn't buy it.
[exhales] Mom, are you okay?
[exhales] Mom, please, don't be mad at me.
I'll get the lightbulb tomorrow.
Hm? Come on
Okay.
[exhales] Mom, don't be angry.
[sighs] You're so quiet.
You smell really nice, Mom, you know that?
[inhales deeply] Like flowers.

[chuckles]
Go ahead.
Ma'am.
[breathing heavily]
What is going on here?
[breathing heavily]
-[woman] Hello.
-[gasps]
You've seen me, right?
Yeah.
[Hyunju] Good evening.
You see me right now?
Uh-huh.
You're You're my next-door neighbor--
-Are you here to get lights?
-[stutters] Yeah.
Didn't you also go yesterday?
Yeah.
[Jiyoung] You buy them often.
[sighs] I'm helping Mom with errands.
You get back safe then.
[exhales]
[exhales sharply]
I'm so sorry.
I need to quit drinking.
You're getting yourself
in a lot of danger.
Yeah. I know I am.
I'm sorry.
No, you don't.
Alcoholism can cause liver failure,
which can lead to death.
[Junu sighs]
Yeah, death.
You don't recall?
You were in and out of consciousness
and saying nonsense.
You were hallucinating something.
Almost like someone was talking to you.
[groans] You're getting dirt on me!
[groans] Go away.
-Who did you see?
-Huh?
[groans] Go.
You're getting dirt on me!
Getting dirt on me. [groans] Go away.
Who do you think you saw?
You never know who it could be.
Delirium is common
with the critically ill.
So I'm delirious?
Those who get into serious accidents
or alcoholics can sometimes have delirium.
They often can't think straight,
and they lose short-term memory.
They can't discern people or places,
and they suffer visual
and auditory hallucinations.
That's when the delirium can take them.
The ICU is the border
that straddles life and death.
Many enter and leave through its doors.
Some people leave alive.
Some people leave dead.
-[shudders]
-[Youngji] I wonder who it was you saw.
[shudders]
Sleep well, sir.
[Junu gasps] Nurse! It's too dark!
Nurse, I'm scared.
[shuddering]
I'm scared.
[shudders]
[breathing heavily] Please, nurse. Please.
[breathing heavily]
I've seen him before as well.
The person that you saw.
Huh?
[breathing heavily]
I was once in a serious car accident,
and was sent to the Intensive Care Unit.
Basic traumatic brain injury,
and was unconscious.
I was neither alive,
nor was I really dead.
I also experienced delirium.
I just narrowly survived.
When I woke up,
I had a hard time adjusting to things.
[Junu breathing heavily]
And occasionally, ever since,
I keep seeing someone.
Would you mind it if
if you told me who you see?
Someone I can't be sure is human.
You have to save her somehow!
What do you mean
you're not sure?
Because you can't tell.
Even looking closely you won't know.
If they're human, or they're not.
I get confused, too.
Why are you going to the eight floor?
What do they look like then?
They're a little different.
It's hard to distinguish.
[Junu] Are they ghosts?
[Youngji] I don't know.
However, I do know who it was you saw.
Sir? You can't be in here.
Someone who is not dead,
yet not living anymore.
Where's the morgue?
[Youngji] I didn't realize it at the time.
How How'd he get there?
He was a patient,
unconscious and barely holding on.
That's why I do what I can
to help them live.
I heard that they buried you alive
because you owed them too much money.
So I think I know why
you were trying to find the morgue.
You thought that you'd end up a burden
to your family, didn't you?
I was that way too.
I wandered around for a long time also.
I wanted to surrender.
And then
I was lucky to have someone
give me the will to live.
And so, I survived.
I'll stay right here, okay?
Better not give up.
I don't know if you can hear me but
even if you can't
you must stay strong.
COME BACK TO US, YOUNGJI!
I'll be waiting for you.
The minute you hear me,
if you're ready,
give me a call, all right?
PLAYING NOW
WHERE THE WIND COMES FROM
If you've seen someone
who's on the border of life and death,
then that means
that you yourself are on the border
of life and death as well.
If you keep seeing them
as often as you do,
who knows what'll happen?
So, seriously, I'm begging you.
Take care of yourself.
[exhales sharply]
[Hyunju sighs] Seriously,
what the heck is going on around here?
Oh.
Good evening.
[exhales]
Sheesh.
[breathing heavily]
-[man] Hey, you.
-[gasps]
[shudders] Yes.
[man] You seen a dog?
[stuttering] Dog?
I can't sleep because of that fucking dog.
[shudders]
Every time I'm trying to get some sleep,
that son of a bitch
just keeps barking over and over!
I can't live like this. You know?
Can you hear that barking? Huh?
[inhales sharply]
[Wonyoung] There are people
who are a bit strange.
You have to look closely to know.
[Byeongjin] I should've never
come out here.
I came out here to look for it
and then that stupid dog
actually started chasing me.
Barking at me over and over again.
[grunts]
-Kid, have you seen a dog out here or not?
-[motor whirring]
No, I haven't seen it.
Hey. Hear that?
Where the hell
is this fucking barking coming from?
-There! Can't you hear it?
-[gasps]
[stuttering] No, I don't
[Wonyoung] You have to look at them
very closely.
[inhales sharply]
[Byeongjin] Hey. You don't hear that? Huh?
But I-- You
-hear that?
-[gasps]
Yeah, you! You fucker!
[Wonyoung] Then you pretend
you didn't see anything strange.
Just act like you saw nothing.
Sir?
Sir, my mom's waiting. And I'm late.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Go on. Go on. Go on.
Go home.
[panting]
[elevator dings]
[shudders]
[Jeongwon] Vitals are back to normal.
[Daehwan] Well done. [sighs in relief]
[doctor] He's not out of the woods yet.
Honestly, it's a miracle
he's still hanging on.
[Daehwan] True.
He's been on the verge of death
so many times already.
I have no idea what kind of forces
are keeping him alive.
[woman shudders]
[doctor] Your guess is as good as mine.
[woman shudders]
[Jeongwon]
This patient remains unconscious.
Where does his will come from?
It could be that it's not just his will
that we're seeing right now.
[digital beeping]
[shudders]
[beeping continues]
[stuttering] Someone
anyone can you hear me?
[shudders] Help me out.
You see me, don't you? Right over here.
[crying] I've been here so long!
So, please. I wanna leave!
Help me! Won't you, help me? [crying]
[beeping gets louder]

-[Hyunju] Mom!
-[digital beeping]
[door unlocks]
[gasps] Mom.
[panting] Mom.
Mom, Mom, Mom!
Something really weird happened!
Why is it so dark in here?
[breathing heavily]
[Hyunju] Are you mad at me for being late?
Oh, what, the lightbulb again?
Oh, Mom, I didn't forget it on purpose.
I went all the way down to the light shop,
even though it was pouring rain
the entire time.
[sighs] There were so many weirdos
running around out there though,
and the light shop owner
told me that I should just go.
So, I'm sorry, I really couldn't buy it.
[exhales] Mom, are you okay?
[exhales] Mom, please, don't be mad at me.
I'll get the lightbulb tomorrow.
Hm? Come on
Okay.
[exhales] Mom, don't be angry.
[sighs] You're so quiet.
You smell really nice, Mom, you know that?
[inhales deeply] Like flowers.
[eerie music playing]
[Hyunju sighs]
[Jiyoung] Do you think they were together?
Could it be
that those two know each other?
