EPISODE 6
See? Because you didn't destroy her soul,
an innocent girl got hurt.
Are you behind this?
No. Some people are impatient.
He was a Monster in his previous life too.
I bet it was Teoreokson.
You gave him intel
and told him what to do.
Are you blaming me?
No. This is more your fault than mine.
The Monsters you killed are trying
to take revenge on you.
So they're after Min Sang-un
who has your soul.
Once your soul is destroyed,
they will stop.
So bring her here
before other people get hurt.
I will give you a day.
And let me remind you again.
You and I are not enemies.
Our real enemy…
is that woman.
Was that him?
Tell him to take me.
Tell him that I'll come to him.
He can have my soul or whatever he wants.
But tell him to let my sister go.
I don't care if I die.
Call him back now.
No. I will save your sister.
You asked me to kill Bulgasal, right?
To get revenge for your family.
You said I was the sword
that could kill him.
I will help you, but you will help me too.
Find a way to kill him.
Until I kill him…
I will…
let you live as a human.
Okay.
I'll do anything to save Si-ho.
So you better stay true
to your word.
Did he run away?
He must have driven off.
What about my sister?
He probably took her.
Si-ho…
Si-ho…
DARK HOLE
I thought she'd be alone.
Who was that man?
It was strange. He didn't seem human.
That's none of your business.
Just keep an eye on her sister.
And don't you touch her
without my permission.
We need to use her as bait.
Understood?
Answer me.
Yes, sir. But--
How dare he?
I'm the one who caught her!
She's mine!
I caught her. She's mine.
Report this to the police.
He said he'd kill my sister if I did.
That's what all kidnappers say.
There's no time.
This isn't something
the police can handle,
just like 15 years ago.
Does this also have to do with Bulgasal?
Is that kidnapper colluding with Bulgasal?
I think so.
Then what about that man?
I found no other traces.
Isn't he on their side?
You said he tried to kill you back there.
That was…
a misunderstanding.
All right, then.
First, we need to save your sister.
What's your next move?
-I heard you used to be a detective.
-So what?
We could use some inside information.
Find out which reservoir around here
had a lot of incidents and accidents.
What? There are
over ten reservoirs around here.
One of them will have more
recent drowning cases than the rest.
And all the bodies
will have something in common.
TRUSTWORTHY POLICE, SAFE NATION
Hey, I just arrived.
I brought some snacks.
Okay.
Get out. Do you want to die?
How dare that scumbag order me around?
-What are you doing?
-Gosh, you startled me.
Detective Ham, why did you come out?
Why are you lifting fingerprints?
Someone stole from my car.
I need to catch them.
Who would steal
from that rundown car of yours?
I know, right?
Can you identify the fingerprints?
Will you do that for me?
Submit an official report.
So is that why you're here?
Here.
You brought me instant noodles? Really?
Nowadays, you can order the best food
with your phone anytime you want.
Come on. Instant noodles are the best
when you're working late.
Here. Have some of this hot broth.
I know you're here to ask for a favor.
Is this a bribe?
Don't be ridiculous.
I just have a few questions.
I was right.
-I don't want it.
-Look.
I was asked to look for someone.
A young lady has disappeared.
Her parents talked to
a gifted female shaman,
and she said their daughter
was drenched or something.
A shaman in this day and age?
There are many reservoirs in Hwanam.
Were any of them peculiar?
Perhaps, many drownings?
People often slip and fall
while fishing at reservoirs.
-It's nothing…
-Exactly. Things like that.
But there weren't any unidentified bodies.
None of them match
the one you're looking for.
They were all accidents or suicides…
There must be something
that's bothering you.
You see…
It's quite strange.
All the drowning victims
had one dislocated leg.
It's not like some monster
could have pulled them underwater.
-Are you serious? Which reservoir?
-Why do you ask?
Well, I'm just curious. That's all.
I've been fishing lately,
so I want to avoid that place.
So which reservoir is it?
Tell me.
And now, I can finally rest.
Do you think he'll return?
Maybe.
This could be his hunting ground.
What about Si-ho?
Do you think she's safe?
Until tonight, yes.
But why are you trying to save her?
Even back at the mountain,
you seemed to be
genuinely worried about her.
It's not him.
How do you know?
I can sense Monsters when they get near.
And he's not one of them.
You can sense them? How?
When they're around me,
my entire body trembles.
I get goosebumps too.
I've always been like this.
Hello?
It's Detective Kwon.
A chair only for me?
What about you two?
Don't you have more chairs?
I live alone, so I don't.
What did the police say?
Any peculiar drowning cases?
First, get rid of him.
This will be disturbing
and not suitable for minors.
Come on.
Was someone kidnapped?
A peculiar drowning case?
How mysterious. So what is it?
Listen to him. Go.
You too?
Forget it.
Please continue.
What?
Right.
All of the victims
had a dislocated leg.
How did you know?
I met him a long time ago.
-A long time ago?
-That's how he works.
He pulls them underwater and kills them.
To the point
that their legs are dislocated?
How is that possible?
I have something to tell you.
The man who kidnapped my sister
-is not an ordinary human.
-What do you mean?
They were Monsters
who reincarnated as humans.
What? Monsters? Reincarnation?
What are you on about?
Just believe me for now.
My goodness.
But first, please tell us
what you found out.
Where is that reservoir?
How will that help you
locate the kidnapper?
He used to have
a hiding place by the waterside.
If things haven't changed,
he'll probably be at the reservoir.
Dalmyeong Reservoir.
It's fairly close to the place
we went to yesterday.
If he's here,
does that mean Si-ho is too?
He had a hiding place
near a reservoir back then too.
It was his nest.
He'd capture his victims
and keep them there.
Keep this just in case.
Don't hesitate to stab him
if you're in danger.
What's wrong?
Well, the thing is…
I've never used one before.
You can do it.
You've taken many lives
with one in your previous life.
Just give it to me and cut the nonsense.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
OFF LIMITS
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
Who are you?
Are you the only one here?
Is there no one else?
We're closed due to construction.
This place has been vacant
for some time now.
Goodness.
I don't think he's here.
He's inside.
He's looking at me right now.
What are you doing?
What the hell?
What…
Did you find him?
Who are you people?
I'm going to call the cops!
-Well…
-What is this?
I'm a cop. You don't need to report this.
How did you know I was here?
Why are you interfering?
I'm here for the woman you kidnapped.
Where is she?
He promised to hand over
that woman if I kept her sister captive.
Dark Hole…
Dark Hole deceived me.
Where is he?
Where is that bastard?
Where is she?
Pull yourself together.
It's not real.
It's a memory from your previous life.
Look.
Look! You're okay. Your arm is intact.
It hurt like hell just a few seconds ago.
What happened?
Where did he go?
HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSOR ROOM
Si-ho.
Si-ho.
EQUIPMENT ROOM
Si-ho.
Si-ho.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
I'll get you out of here.
-Sang-un.
-I finally get to meet you.
I've been wanting to kill you.
No!
No!
Die!
Run!
Run!
-Where do you think you're going?
-Sang-un!
Sang-un!
Are you okay? Get in.
Go upstairs and leave the building.
What about you?
I'll only put you in danger.
Sang-un!
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
Why did you come back?
How could I possibly leave you behind?
Let's go. Okay?
Hold on.
He's still fighting him.
I need to help.
Don't be ridiculous.
The man who jumped
into the water was Bulgasal.
How did you know that?
I met him at our house.
I touched him and he didn't seem human.
He wants you dead, doesn't he?
That's why we need
to run away. Let's go. Okay?
Wait. But…
We need to hurry!
We need to go!
What is it?
What are you going to do?
Sang-un, I think he's dead.
He's not breathing.
The police are coming!
Is he…
Is he okay?
He is. He's just unconscious.
Si-ho, he's the detective
who was in charge of our case.
You look oddly familiar.
Have we met before?
No.
What?
Isn't that the kidnapper?
How did he…
Did this man…
Sir, can you please just let us go?
What?
Once the police arrive,
we need to explain what--
Exactly. Please let us leave with him…
before they come.
Are you really going to take him with us?
But he's Bulgasal as well.
Do you remember
what Sang-yeon told us to find?
The sword that could kill Bulgasal.
Yes.
It's him.
He's the sword
I've been looking for all this time.
I finally managed to find him,
so I can't leave him behind.
He's mine.
He's my sword.
Where are we headed?
A place that's somewhat safe.
How did it go?
What?
Who is she?
Is she…
Yes. She's my sister.
No way.
Did you guys save her together?
Are you okay?
How was it? Weren't you scared?
Who is this chatty kid?
He knows this man. Help me.
What? Sure.
Unbelievable.
Damn, he's heavy.
Gosh.
I can't carry him upstairs.
That's enough exercise for a year.
-What happened to him?
-Well…
He hasn't been breathing
since he went underwater.
Hey. Open your eyes, will you?
Hey.
What should I do?
Maybe he drowned.
Perform CPR on him.
Do you know how?
I did learn it in PE class.
But I don't want to do it.
If I do it, I'm afraid I may never go back
to my old self.
What?
What? What did you say?
Your sister is calling for me.
Yes, I'm coming.
One, two, three, four,
five, six…
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty.
Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen, nineteen…
How could Bulgasal die?
This isn't funny.
Wake up.
What should I do?
What are you doing?
You're alive.
What do you think I'm doing?
I'm saving you.
Where am I?
It's your house.
The police came,
so we had to flee the scene.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Where is that woman, Si-ho?
Oh…
She's safe. She's here too.
Hey.
Thank you.
Thank you for saving my sister.
I don't want to hear it, so leave.
Is it broken?
-I can help--
-I said leave.
All right. I'm leaving.
Is this how you treat
someone who saved your life?
This used to be my room,
but you guys can use it.
I know it's messy.
Do you live here?
But…
do you know that he's not human?
Of course, I do.
We have no secrets.
Aren't you scared?
Are you a scaredy-cat?
He's totally awesome.
He's strong and immortal.
Isn't he incredible? I envy him.
Are you stupid? That means he's dangerous.
Not at all. He may be ill-tempered,
and he may sound mean,
but he never kicked me out.
I bet he was lonely.
Rest up.
He's alive.
That man is weird, but so is that kid.
Still, I think he has a good heart.
Let me see.
-What are you doing?
-You have dried blood here.
-Let's go to a hospital.
-No.
Does it hurt? Are you dizzy?
I'm fine.
I'm really okay.
Since I'm dense,
I must also have a strong skull.
Hey…
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Si-ho.
Sang-un.
You must have been scared.
I was.
And I also realized
that you were telling the truth all along.
Sang-un, I'm so sorry
that I didn't believe you
this whole time.
It's okay.
I'm the one who's sorry.
You had to suffer because of me.
I'll make sure to keep you safe…
at all costs.
What are you doing here?
Well, I was just worried
that you might change your mind overnight
and kill us.
I was keeping an eye on you.
Where are you going in that condition?
To the kitchen. I need some blood.
Blood?
Relax. It's not human blood.
Then wait.
I'll get it for you.
Forget it.
You can barely walk.
Wait here.
What's wrong?
Are you disgusted?
You, who fed off human blood?
Will you stop it already?
I don't want to argue
with someone who is hurt.
By the way, what's your name?
Why do you want to know?
I don't think we're that close.
I see.
Then I'll call you whatever I want.
"Bul" must be your surname
since you're Bulgasal.
How does Mr. Bul sound?
Anyway, let me know if you need anything.
Why did you do it?
-What?
-You could have just left me back there.
Why did you save me?
Because I need you.
You're the sword that can kill Bulgasal.
Ok Eul-tae.
That's the name of the guy
you want to kill.
Don't believe anything she says.
She's lying to you.
You want to know who killed the kidnapper?
How would I know?
Who else would know?
You were the only one at the scene.
Who is it? Who killed Kang Cheol-yong?
Gosh, this…
This doesn't taste like it did back then.
Can you please stop eating?
Are you shooting an eating show?
To hell with that.
Why am I in an interrogation room?
Am I a suspect?
You're a witness!
A serial killer has died.
Who killed him?
You know who did it, don't you?
You see…
I brushed past someone
on my way to the pool,
but I couldn't see clearly.
I don't remember.
At this age,
my vision has become blurry,
and I've become more forgetful.
I definitely smell something fishy here.
That's your mouth.
Gosh, you reek of cigarettes.
Are you not going to quit?
More importantly,
have you identified the fingerprints?
Right. Whose fingerprints are they?
They couldn't be identified.
What?
Excuse me.
Hello, Chief.
No identity?
Sorry?
What's his deal?
Yes, sir.
Ho-yeol, you should go
if you're done eating.
All of a sudden?
What's going on? No more questions?
I've been ordered to wrap it up.
The culprit committed suicide.
Did you just say
suicide?
Yes. They just received
his autopsy report.
It was suicide.
Hey, Chief Park. How did it go?
Damn it! I don't care
if it was suicide or homicide!
Who cares how a serial killer died?
Look. Just wrap it up.
This is just going
to taint our city's reputation. Got it?
That son of a bitch.
I ought to teach him a lesson.
Where is the chairman?
He's running a bit late.
Please be patient, sir. He's in a meeting.
Why did you fail?
Was bringing Min Si-ho such a hard task?
When I arrived, they had already left.
Kang Cheol-yong was dead,
and the police were there. I'm sorry.
I see.
None of us imagined that
Dan Hwal would find that place so quickly.
You're right. I was careless.
But…
why couldn't you have driven faster?
I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again.
All right. Do as you please.
Get rid of the garbage in the basement.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mayor.
Did you put an end to it?
Please have a seat.
Yes, sir.
I did what you asked me to do.
You don't need to worry.
Don't be so arrogant,
and keep an eye on them.
Yes, sir.
No, wait.
You did a great job 15 years ago.
That's how you became the mayor, right?
You should run
for a higher position next.
Thank you, sir.
You've helped me
so much from the beginning.
By the way…
you haven't changed one bit
since I first saw you 15 years ago.
Is there a secret to your youth?
May I ask how old you are?
You're asking me questions?
Sorry?
You didn't ask why I wanted
to put an end to the case,
but you must be
awfully curious about my age.
I'm sorry, sir.
Why would a dog be interested
in its owner's age?
Doting on your dog will only spoil him.
At times, you need to tighten its collar
to make it respect you. Right?
Was it necessary for him
to wrap up the case?
You didn't need to protect Dan Hwal.
No, I do.
I need to win him over at all costs.
It seems like he and Sang-un
have joined hands after this incident.
Join hands?
That trust is going to break.
Do you know why?
It's because he despises her
more than he despises me.
How long do you think he can endure
having his enemy by his side?
This girl has finally brought you to me.
The scar on your hand. That brand.
You can never run away from me.
My curse has not ended yet.
What was that?
I only opened it slightly.
-Slightly?
-And it fell off.
Gosh, I barely managed to fix it.
Why did you touch it?
Here. Let me show you.
How can someone live here?
Everything's broken and there's no food.
Tell me about it.
Are you hungry?
Should I go out and buy some food?
The store is quite far but…
Really?
Then I'll go.
Sure.
Where are you going?
Oh, I'm going to the grocery store.
None of us have eaten.
It's too dangerous to go out. Wait.
It's me. Where are you?
I need you to run an errand.
You make me deliver food now?
I had no choice.
I can't go out since I injured my leg.
-Is it bad? Let me see.
-I'm okay.
I told you to be careful.
I'm the only one
who'll suffer if you hurt yourself.
Why are you coming in? Just leave it.
I'm going to eat here.
Are we having a party?
Why did you bring meat?
Then what did you expect
a butcher to bring?
Gosh. You run a butcher shop?
You're always welcome here.
Who is this sly boy?
Sorry? No one has ever called me that.
Right. I've been called a cool guy before.
I am quite cool, aren't I?
Is the meat ready?
Why aren't you eating?
Here. It's perfectly cooked.
I don't want to overcook it.
Thank you.
You didn't get hurt, right?
Why did you have to run away
and cause this mess?
Why did you do it?
I saw a photo of him.
He seemed suspicious.
-What photo?
-What?
It's nothing.
What is it?
Hello. We met at the mountain, right?
I'm Min Sang-un.
I'll cook the meat.
Sure. Will you?
Eat up.
Okay.
I should bring some pepper.
What is it?
Are you going to let
Min Sang-un stay here?
For now.
-Ok Eul-tae is still after her.
-What?
You're going to let your former wife
and her killer stay here together?
Gosh. This is unbelievable.
Did she agree to this
despite knowing your plans?
She must hate Ok Eul-tae
more than she hates me.
She's really something.
She decided to stay in a lion's den
so she could kill her enemy?
Here. Eat up.
Stop cooking and eat already.
I am eating.
But I don't crave meat at this hour.
Why not? I do.
Right. What's your real age?
You said you were 30
while wearing a school uniform.
I had no choice
but to lie in that situation.
Thirty? He's obviously a kid.
A kid? I've been through
all the highs and lows of life.
I've experienced everything.
So? Is that why
you're not at school right now?
-School's on break.
-Liar.
School is boring since I have no friends.
You don't go to school for fun.
You should at least graduate.
I can take the GED.
Hey, do you think that's easy?
Nothing in life is easy.
Everyone struggles these days.
You're an extremely naive woman,
aren't you?
-What?
-All right. That's enough.
Have some more meat. You too.
Give me more.
Give me more.
Who could that be?
We're not expecting anyone.
Coming.
You again? What is it this time?
I'm not here to see you.
Where is he?
It seemed like you were dying,
but you're fine now.
Can I talk with you in private?
Whatever you're doing,
I want in.
What? What do you mean?
Catching Bulgasal.
Ms. Min told me that you could catch him.
Why all of a sudden?
I'm helping you catch a killer,
so what's the issue?
He killed her mother
and sister 15 years ago.
And he's covering up
all the incidents related to Bulgasal.
I need to catch him.
I thought you were no longer a cop.
-This has nothing to do with you now.
-It does.
I have something to ask him.
What is it?
Did he do something to you?
Bulgasal is here.
Bulgasal is…
You don't need to know.
A Monster like him
who murders people needs to be caught.
To be honest…
I thought you were Bulgasal at first.
But since Ms. Min is here with you,
that's probably not the case.
But still,
you seem suspicious.
Why?
The police couldn't identify you.
It was as if you didn't exist.
And you also found that serial killer
who was one of the Monsters in the past.
Tell me. Who exactly are you?
What is your name?
Then from this moment on,
your name shall be Hwal.
Hwal.
It means rebirth.
I'm Hwal.
Dan Hwal.
Hwal? What a peculiar name.
Do you mean Hwal as in "bow"?
Am I wrong?
If you can't be identified,
who owns this house and your cars?
Did you get them through illegal means?
Hey, you.
You've totally crossed the line.
Why would you barge in here
and pester him?
Who are you?
He was a detective. A former detective.
Former?
You're not a detective now,
so why would you interrogate him?
Then who are you
to interrupt our conversation like this?
He's my son. So?
His dad wasn't around when I gave birth,
so I couldn't register him. Happy?
What kind of ridiculous…
Sir, have you eaten yet?
The meat is scrumptious.
-Come have some.
-No.
Come on.
What? He's your son?
Son?
What else could I say?
I was smart, right?
What? Money for the meat?
No. There's no rice
and you don't have a rice cooker.
Will you let them starve?
I should go buy some stuff.
Some allowance would be nice too.
For your dear mother.
Please?
Hello, sir.
I just came by to see how you were doing.
I see.
Look. Thank you for helping us yesterday.
Don't mention it.
I wasn't of any help 15 years ago.
By the way, how is your sister?
Are you okay?
Yes.
She injured her head
when she was kidnapped.
I'd like for her to receive a checkup.
May I ask you for a favor?
-Sure.
-Could you drop us off at the hospital?
-No, it's okay. I'm fine.
-No. You should go.
It's too dangerous for us to go alone.
You should listen to her.
How about we head out right now?
Get ready and come out.
-What?
-Will we be okay?
Didn't you say
we shouldn't trust the police?
Right.
But I think we can trust him.
Si-ho, go downstairs first. Okay?
I'm really fine.
Run!
Hurry!
I will help you,
but you will help me too.
Find a way to kill him.
Until I kill him…
I will let you live as a human.
Hey.
I'm going to the hospital
with my sister and Detective Kwon.
Detective Kwon?
Then you don't need to go.
They can go without you.
No. I need to go too.
-I have to get some stuff from home.
-Forget about that.
They're all useless.
They're not useless.
They're all I have
to remember my mom and sister by.
Like family photos.
That's why they're useless.
They're not your family.
They were just unlucky people
who reincarnated as those close to you.
Unbelievable.
You just made me
want to go there even more.
Do you still not get it?
You're not going anywhere without me.
The moment you asked me
to kill Ok Eul-tae,
you became mine.
So do as I say.
No. You must be mistaken.
I'm here because I want to.
You're the sword that I found.
The sword that can kill him.
Don't you dare go back.
He'll be waiting for you
with a knife in hand.
You've been running away so well,
Ms. Min.
THE SWORD THAT CAN KILL BULGASAL…
Would you look at that.
So you've decided to go this far.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
You can go with Detective Kwon.
I'm sorry. Please take good care of her.
Don't be. You don't need to worry.
-Shall we go?
-Sure.
Sang-un!
I'll buy lots of good food.
Don't fight with him. Be cordial.
Shut it.
All right. Be safe.
Drive safely.
Is your leg all better now?
As you can see, yes.
Since we're alone, let's talk.
About how we can kill him.
Is this…
Is this really me?
I told you.
You've had numerous past lives.
These are traces of them.
What are you doing?
Why didn't you tell me you got hurt?
It's nothing.
Don't get up.
I just sprained it.
Didn't Teoreokson do this to you?
Do you want to be a cripple?
If Ok Eul-tae comes after you,
do I need to carry you?
Don't be an inconvenience.
That won't happen.
It's okay. Let me do it.
It's quicker if I do it.
I've done it many times.
How evil you were in your past life
and what you did to me.
You don't need to do this.
It's confusing whenever you help me
since I know you want to kill me.
So don't bother being nice to me.
I'll do as you say.
If I was Bulgasal in the past
and I murdered your family,
I'll give back your soul
once Ok Eul-tae dies.
I'll become Bulgasal
and lock myself up in that well.
I thought you had come up
with some grand plan.
Don't talk as if
it's your decision to make.
Because you don't have a choice.
You're wrong.
It is my decision to make.
Because I could betray you.
-Betray me?
-You have a weakness too.
You feel pain when you get hurt.
And it takes time to recover.
If I harm you enough that you can't move,
then I can run away from you.
Then I can just find you again.
I don't care how long it takes.
But it's agonizing.
The longer it takes,
the more agonizing it is.
Because of the memory
of losing your family.
It's painful.
I know how that feels.
But show me proof
that what you told me is true.
Then I'll do as you say.
Can you prove…
that my soul actually belonged to you?
The Monsters who are after you,
Teoreokson and Geuseunsae…
They all died at my hands.
They are after my soul
because they have a grudge against me.
What about proof that I was Bulgasal?
When you stole my soul as Bulgasal,
I stabbed you in the shoulder.
That's when you put a curse on that wound.
I will be born again
with this scar that you have given me.
You said you'd reincarnate
with that scar on your shoulder.
A scar on my shoulder?
A strange man was following me.
Did you see his face?
What did he look like?
He got out of the car
and asked to see my shoulder.
When I checked
your sister's dead body 15 years ago,
I saw the scar.
Since you two shared my soul,
you must have that scar as well.
Like you said, she had a scar
on her shoulder from birth.
But I…
I didn't have one.
That means…
I wasn't Bulgasal.
You…
Who exactly are you?
BULGASAL: IMMORTAL SOULS
Subtitle translation by: Soo-ji Kim
This is where you died a seventh time.
The neighbors said
that the crazy elder daughter
set the house on fire before running away.
I don't remember anything.
You have to remember your past lives.
You have to remember
how to kill Ok Eul-tae.
We should come running if we're summoned.
Hwal saved me when I was six years old.
Should I take a look?
If I want to be free from this pain…
I have to kill her as soon as I can.
