A scar on my shoulder?
When I checked your sister's dead body,
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 didn't have one.
That means…
I wasn't Bulgasal.
Who exactly are you?
I want to know too.
Are you sure I'm the one…
you want to take revenge on?
We can find out.
Let's go and check.
Right now.
EPISODE 7
Hey! You need to take more…
Gosh, that brat.
Goodness. Oh, my.
Ms. Lee, don't you think
we bought way too much stuff?
He might give us an earful.
We have more packages coming too.
What choice did we have?
There's nothing in this house.
Why are you hugging that?
Go and tell them to come out.
We have too much stuff.
Okay.
We get to have rice starting today.
Why is he so excited?
Hasn't he had rice before?
Well, it's only a dress.
He won't be mad, right?
This dress is totally me.
It looks great on me.
-Ms. Lee!
-Oh, my goodness.
-What is it?
-No one is here.
Hwal and Sang-un aren't here either.
I wonder where they went.
What?
SANG-UN
I'm sorry. Can you tell me that again?
Sure. You said you didn't have
any headaches or ringing in your ears.
-No vomiting or nausea?
-Right.
You're fine then.
By the way, she's your niece?
Well…
She's my sister's daughter.
I see. But are you not going to marry?
You could have had a daughter her age.
Do you want me to set you up?
I know a friend who's single.
Shut up, you quack.
So does she have a concussion or not?
I don't think so.
Do you want her to take an X-ray?
Yes. Get her an X-ray.
Wait. I have a question.
Yes?
Is it safe for a pregnant woman
to get an X-ray?
What? Pregnant?
Hey.
Who's the father? Your boyfriend?
My ex-boyfriend.
Your ex? Did you guys break up?
Does he know that you're pregnant?
Yes. He said he wanted no part in this.
So I said okay.
What? Why are you the only one
taking care of the baby?
What an asshole.
You should have dated a nice guy.
Do you think I knew he was
a jerk from the beginning?
I dated him because
he was nice to me at first.
Besides, he's handsome.
I tend to fall for hot guys.
Hot guys? It's not like
you can live off of their looks.
Why do you keep nagging me?
This is hard on me too.
Besides, I can just be a good mother.
Don't you know
how hard it is being a single…
I mean…
I'm old enough to be your dad.
I'm just worried like any parent would be.
How would you know how parents feel?
You're not even married.
Well, right.
I'm not married.
Well…
thank you, detective.
For taking me to the hospital
and for helping my sister.
Don't mention it.
I feel responsible
for the case from 15 years ago.
And I'm personally interested
in Bulgasal too.
Why personally?
I just am.
Is there anything you know about Bulgasal?
Oh, I heard a name from my sister.
Ok Eul-tae.
Ok Eul-tae?
Ok Eul-tae.
Hey, Sang-un. I'm on my way home.
What? Where?
I'm just out.
Yes. He's with me too.
Gosh. Don't worry.
See you at home.
What did the doctor say?
-She's fine.
-That's good.
What?
Are you worried about my sister?
Come to think of it, you were also worried
about her when she was abducted. Why…
Why are we here? There's nothing here.
There used to be a house
that two families lived in.
But it burned down
in the middle of the night
fifty years ago.
So why are we at a place where
a fire took place 50 years ago?
Their eldest daughter was you.
What?
I'm talking about your past life.
My past life?
Your name was Kim Hwa-yeon.
You were about the same age.
BULGASAL
YEAR 1971
According to her neighbors,
Kim Hwa-yeon always stayed at home.
And she never set foot outside the house.
They said she was afraid of something.
Her parents were worried about her,
so they tried everything.
Including rituals and drugs.
Take your medicine.
Please take it. Please?
Hwa-yeon.
-Hwa-yeon.
-Hwa-yeon!
What on earth is wrong with you?
Father, don't.
-Please don't.
-Her neighbors just thought she was crazy.
Father, stop it. Please.
Only her younger sister accepted her
for who she was and took care of her.
Are you okay, Hwa-yeon?
Hwa-yeon.
-No, you can't go in there.
-One day, a fire broke out at the house.
The neighbors said
that the crazy elder daughter
set the house on fire before running away.
Please help them!
The fire killed her parents
along with another family
that was renting rooms from them.
No! Mom!
The younger sister who worked late
at a factory was the only survivor.
Her name was Kim Go-bun.
Why? Why did you do that, sister?
You shouldn't have run away like that!
It came after you left.
Our house was engulfed in flames.
Our parents were trapped inside the house.
That can't be.
I killed my parents in my past life?
There was a witness.
The police got a statement
from a neighbor who saw her
running away into the mountains
after setting the house on fire.
So what happened to Kim Hwa-yeon?
It was here.
She died here
when Ok Eul-tae came after her.
Kim Hwa-yeon's belongings
were found nearby,
but her body was gone.
Ok Eul-tae probably took it.
She ran away to the mountains,
but Ok Eul-tae killed her?
He killed her here?
Do you remember anything?
No.
This is where you died a seventh time.
I don't remember anything.
But are you sure
Kim Hwa-yeon set the house on fire?
Why would she do that?
It was to run away from Ok Eul-tae
by faking her own death.
She sacrificed her family
just to save herself?
Only an evil spirit would do such a thing.
You keep forgetting
that you weren't human.
Just look at Ok Eul-tae.
Human lives didn't matter to you at all.
Are you sure I was Kim Hwa-yeon?
I don't have a scar on my shoulder.
Are you sure I was Bulgasal?
Yes, you were.
I don't know what you're up to,
being born without the scar
and without memories.
But you were Bulgasal who killed people.
Just keep going.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
The sun will go down soon.
And you'll walk slower.
That's why I wanted to come
once my ankle healed.
But you didn't listen to me.
What?
Are you going to carry me on your back?
Why? That's a hassle.
Hey.
Hey.
We're here. Goodness.
Hold on. I think you can put me down now.
Hey! Goodness.
You're unbelievable.
Do you think I'm a piece of luggage?
You're heavy for a girl.
I'm tall! My bones are heavy. That's all.
We need a place to stay for the night.
Aren't we going home?
We're not going back
until you remember something.
Listen. How can ordinary people
remember their past lives?
But you're not ordinary.
Your sister remembered them.
She was…
Gosh, he's impossible.
Right.
But how do you know so much
about a case from 50 years ago?
Because I came to find you
the day the house was set on fire.
But I was late.
It was after Ok Eul-tae
had already found and killed you.
Ok Eul-tae was good at finding me
in my past lives and still is.
But I know nothing about him.
I only know his name.
Ok Eul-tae?
Who is Ok Eul-tae?
That's what I need you to find out.
Find out what he does.
Bullshit. You want me
to do that with just his name?
Come on. I don't have
a lot of proper work these days.
And my VIP client hasn't called lately.
He was scary,
but he was so generous with money.
Oh, the client who wanted you
to find a woman?
I guess he already found her.
What? You think so?
Damn it.
How much will you pay me for Ok Eul-tae?
It's a personal request
so I can't pay you much.
Why are you looking for him?
He's the killer from my case
that happened 15 years ago.
The killer?
Don't you have any colleagues
who still work at the station?
I do have one.
But he's such an asshole.
That's hot. Be careful, Captain Ham.
I don't drink sugary coffee.
What? Why are you here again?
I wanted to ask you something.
Have you heard of a guy named Ok Eul-tae?
Never heard of him. Who is Ok Eul-tae?
It's about my case from 15 years ago.
The higher-ups closed my case abruptly.
And I think that guy, Ok Eul-tae,
might be behind that.
What are you talking about?
Remember the guy
who suddenly turned himself in?
And the higher-ups told us to close it.
That was all set up.
That was because…
the detective in charge launched
a coercive investigation,
and the suspect committed suicide.
Hey, take it. You should leave now.
I don't want to talk about this
over a cheap cup of coffee.
Hey. Then who told you
to wrap up the recent case?
The murderer who died in the pool.
He didn't commit suicide.
Who told you to wrap up the case?
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
Both cases have to do with Ok Eul-tae.
-He must be behind these cases.
-What?
Hey, that guy looks familiar.
He's the Mayor.
He was the prosecutor in charge
of Min Sang-yeon's case 15 years ago.
Right.
So what?
Why is he here?
What's the Mayor doing
at a police station?
Did he…
come to the station frequently
during the swimming pool case?
Well, I didn't see him every time,
but I know he was here.
Wait.
What?
Don't go after the Mayor.
I heard a few things.
He's really dangerous.
Just listen to me.
What is this place?
Seriously?
Why must I wear this every time?
We're not here to play games.
He's been meeting so many people
for a long time, so it gets confusing.
SANGYONG CITY MAYOR
This way.
He called all of you?
Come on. He didn't tell me
that you would all be here.
-We should come running if we're summoned.
-That's right.
Hey, are you already flattering him
to be on his good side?
This is your first term.
You also came running like a dog.
Don't be like that.
You're still wet behind your ears.
Do you have a death wish?
Why the hell are you fighting
on a good day like this?
Sit down.
You should get along with others
to be good people. Okay?
Brief me.
Did you check the deed?
Yes.
All right. Let's see.
The house belongs to…
What? Ok Eul-tae?
He's the guy you're looking for.
Nice. How did you find him?
This is Ok Eul-tae's house?
The relocation of the terminal
is getting delayed due to the residents.
We compensated them but they won't budge.
Tear them down.
Well, there's another problem
besides the residents.
An environmental organization
has raised problems.
It might affect
the preliminary feasibility tests.
Just find a way to tear them down.
Yes, sir.
-All good, right? No more questions. Done.
-But…
I just don't understand
why you're staying in Sangyong City,
and not the capital.
You are too good
to stay in this rural city, sir.
SANGYONG CITY MAYOR
SANGYONG CITY CONGRESSMAN
A very long time ago,
I did business all over the capital.
But it was too exhausting.
People kept coming to me.
There were so many moochers.
You get me, right?
I'm comfortable here
because this city is completely mine.
I know everything
that goes on in this city.
Who was that? Your daughter.
Does she still do drugs?
Pardon?
Gosh. What drugs?
She never did drugs.
What? Why does he say that?
You can't say that to me, Mr. Mayor.
I know everything that goes on here.
Why are you lying to me?
I can easily plant people
to be my eyes and ears.
I do that because
humans try to stab me in the back
and take a mile when I give them an inch.
Hey, what's up?
Dan Hwal went with her?
What? They're getting along.
It sounded like he was going to kill her
and take her soul.
Okay. Find out where
they went together and let me know.
I need to know what they are up to.
Okay. Thanks.
ACCOMMODATION
Are we really getting one room?
It's dangerous to be alone.
Ok Eul-tae might be watching us even now.
What? Do you snore?
I don't snore.
I just have disruptive sleep behavior.
You might be uncomfortable. I don't care.
Here. Change your bandages.
Hey. Aren't you cold?
Are you okay?
Are you sleeping?
-What?
-What happened?
-Do something!
-There are people inside!
-My goodness.
-They're still in there.
Oh, no. What do we do?
Mom…
I'm relieved.
Mom. Dad. Run away.
I'm relieved that you are in agony.
I want you to suffer…
because of…
the evil deeds you have committed.
Gosh, I feel so stiff.
What? Why are you staring at me?
You're very different at night.
In what way?
Did I talk a lot in my sleep?
Gosh, you lovebirds
must be on a romantic trip.
We're not a couple.
Goodness. The honeymoon phase is sweet.
You don't want anything, Mr. Boyfriend?
I'm fine.
I bet. You must be full
just by looking at her.
Gosh. What is she thinking?
Why didn't you say anything?
It doesn't matter.
Eat up quickly. We need to go somewhere.
What? Where?
We're going to meet
Kim Hwa-yeon's neighbors
who remember what happened 50 years ago.
You might remember something
when you talk to them.
Well…
I guess so.
I'll be in the car.
Eat up and meet me there.
I think I might get indigestion.
Come on. Is she serious?
How could she spend the night out
without telling me?
She should know how dangerous that is.
Is that Sang-un? Where is she?
I don't know.
She won't tell me where she is.
She just tells me not to worry.
What? You're still eating?
You two are the slowest eaters.
Finish up before the packages come.
We have work to do.
What? What work?
This isn't right.
Here. I'll clean the living room.
Clean the bathroom, brother.
What? No.
You should clean the bathroom, sister.
Hey, this bathroom is a dump.
I was abducted pretty recently.
So my head hurts,
and I feel nauseous. Okay?
Stop lying. The doctor said you were fine.
I moved all that stuff yesterday.
You didn't see it. But it was heavy.
My wrist hurts.
Look. My wrist is messed up.
Don't you feel bad making me work?
No. I pity myself more
for getting abducted
and being on the run without a home.
-So you should clean it.
-I'm homeless too.
I grew up in an orphanage.
I don't have any family.
Hey, I don't have parents either.
I lost them in an accident as a kid.
I only have Sang-un.
You at least have her. I'm all alone.
You're frustrating.
I bet you were bad at math.
Hey, this isn't about math.
Be quiet, you brats.
I told you to clean. Why are you chatting?
Ms. Lee, she keeps
bringing up my painful past.
-I had to say something.
-You little…
Your painful past?
Gosh. You think
you're the only one with a sob story?
Here's a story about a girl.
She lost her parents in an accident,
so she had a tough life at an orphanage.
She married a man
who wasn't even good to her.
When she was pregnant,
he had an affair
with another woman and left her.
She tried so hard
to have the baby by herself,
but she miscarried.
She tried everything to end her life,
but she couldn't
as it wasn't her time yet.
Gosh, what a tough life.
Who is that woman?
Me.
So who's going to clean the bathroom?
We should do it.
-We'll do it.
-Right.
Okay.
Ms. Lee, do you need help with anything?
I'm good. I'm almost done.
No, let me help you.
By the way,
there's something I've been curious about.
How did you meet that man, Hwal?
Him?
I told you I was orphaned
because I lost my parents in an accident.
Hwal saved me from the accident.
He supported me at the orphanage too.
He saved you from the accident?
How?
I don't remember.
I lost my memories
because of the accident.
You lost your memories?
Yes. It happened when I was six years old.
I have no memories before then.
Then everything you know
must be what that man, Hwal, told you.
Right.
Aren't you curious?
About what?
Were you really in an accident?
Do you think he could have lied to you?
Gosh. What are you talking about?
Why would he?
I don't know.
I just didn't think
Bulgasal would want to help people.
Which brings me to my point.
Should I take a look?
-Take a look at what?
-Your past.
Right! Hwal told me.
You can see people's pasts, right?
Oh, right.
Didn't you say that
at the motel when we first met?
That he knew me well.
How does he know about me?
Oh, that? I'm not really sure.
We're busy today.
Let's talk some other time.
My goodness. My legs.
This? I had it ever since I was young.
It must be from the accident.
It looks like a burn.
Then the accident you were in…
Was it a fire?
Well, I wouldn't know. Give me that.
Fire?
Yes. The fire that took place
at Kim Hwa-yeon's house 50 years ago.
Why are you asking me that?
Did you hear the rumor?
Are you from a TV station?
To tell people
that our village is haunted?
Haunted?
Don't ask me any more questions.
If you go around and ask people
about the fire, they'll beat you up.
Ma'am. Please help us.
Tell us what you know.
Please.
I don't know!
Do you know Kim Go-bun,
the younger sister of Kim Hwa-yeon?
Kim Go-bun is my grandmother.
I think I'm related to Kim Hwa-yeon.
What?
Well…
there have been
a lot of fires in our village.
A gifted shaman here said
it's because it is haunted
by Kim Hwa-yeon's spirit.
We would have a few peaceful years
after performing a ritual.
But there was another fire a while ago.
Ms. Ulsan who lived alone…
Goodness.
What do you think happened?
Did someone set the house on fire?
Kim Hwa-yeon died 50 years ago.
But there have been fires
for years even after her death?
Could it be Gapsangoe?
GAPSANGOE: A MONSTER IN THE MOUNT GAP AREA
THAT KILLS PEOPLE WITH FIRE
Drum harder!
Gapsangoe hates the sound of drums.
That Monster burns people to death.
I see fire! Get ready!
Kim Hwa-yeon's family?
Yes. Do you remember Kim Go-bun,
Kim Hwa-yeon's younger sister?
I think it was her granddaughter.
I was wondering if she would be able
to coax the spirit out of here
since she's Kim Hwa-yeon's family.
I will meet with her. Where did she go?
I think she went that way.
A reincarnation of Gapsangoe?
Starting from 50 years ago,
this village suffered
repeatedly from fires.
This so-called Kim Hwa-yeon's spirit
is Gapsangoe.
Just like the other Monsters,
it must've come here following her scent.
And it must still be here.
Then Kim Hwa-yeon didn't start that fire
from 50 years ago.
I believe it was Gapsangoe's doing.
Then let's find Gapsangoe.
If it's still here, I can find it.
We have to find out
what happened 50 years ago.
Follow the fire. The fire.
50 YEARS AGO
-What do we do?
-How did this happen?
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Come here.
Have you seen this woman?
That's the landlord's eldest daughter.
Where did you last see her?
She ran away.
To that mountain.
But, mister…
what about my mom and dad?
They're still inside the house.
If you go down that way,
you'll see your neighbors.
Going after her is pointless.
She's dead.
Dark Hole destroyed
her soul and killed her.
How do you know that?
If you want to find her, follow the fire.
The fire.
What are you talking about?
The baby should have been killed when
it was covered in its dead mother's blood.
The curse of the blood
should have ended then!
If it ended then,
this wouldn't have happened!
This wouldn't have happened!
Are you here…
because of my karma too?
Why…
Come on.
My arm hurts.
If you don't want to do it, forget it.
I'm busy.
I'll do it. I will.
I'm just nervous.
I've never purposely done this.
Right.
Why are you so curious about my past?
I just don't get it.
I want to check
if that man really saved you.
If I know he's not a bad man,
I wouldn't worry when they're together.
But I don't believe in stuff like this.
I don't even go to shamans.
You think I'm a shaman?
-You're not?
-What? Of course, I'm not.
When I touch people's hands,
I just see their pasts.
I had a tough childhood because of this.
The pasts I saw were mostly bad.
Don't be nervous.
I'm just an old, boring woman.
Here.
I'll do it now.
Mom!
What's wrong?
Where am I going?
You'll come with me.
You will be helpful to me someday.
Who is it?
Who's watching me?
You're watching my soul's memories, right?
If you are, take them.
Take all of my soul's memories.
They're painful!
Your nose is bleeding!
You talked to me.
What are you talking about?
You're not making any sense.
What's wrong? What on earth did you see?
Gosh. Your body is cold as ice.
Wait here.
I'll go and bring some honey water.
Goodness. What just happened?
I shouldn't have asked her to see my past.
Ms. Lee.
-Ms. Lee!
-Yes?
Yes. Goodness. What is it?
You were spacing out for a second.
Our packages will arrive soon.
-Already?
-Yes.
Gosh. I'm not done cleaning yet.
Did you clean the living room?
Already done.
Since I'm done cleaning,
I'll go out for a while.
I need to be somewhere.
Where? You said you had no friends.
Are you leaving to avoid cleaning?
Gosh. I also have a personal life.
My privacy. Okay?
Be back before dinner. Okay?
Gosh. That was kind of touching.
That sounded like something
you'd say to your family. Right?
As if.
Hwal might come home before you.
We should get scolded together.
It's not like he'll hurt us.
Besides, why isn't he coming home?
I have no idea.
They left to find her memories.
Those so-called enemies
seem to get along well.
Where are we?
You said we were meeting
a witness from 50 years ago.
This shaman's son was the witness
who saw Kim Hwa-yeon
set the house on fire.
Don't come out. Watch from here.
What will you do?
Excuse me.
Are you the shaman's son?
Yes. Why?
I'm looking into the fires
that took place here.
I have nothing to say.
The police told me not to say anything.
Fifty years ago, you said Kim Hwa-yeon
ran away after setting the house on fire.
That was a long time ago.
I don't remember it.
I smell something funny in your car.
It smells like paint thinners.
I use them for rituals.
I'm preparing for a ritual
because a fire broke out.
Could you look over there?
Stop bothering me. Or I'll call the cops.
Was it him?
It wasn't him. I didn't sense anything.
That can't be.
Your hand…
I'm sure it's coming from inside.
But my hand is barely shaking.
This is odd.
Oh, my. Am I dreaming or what?
I have been waiting for a very long time.
I couldn't leave this world
because I had to see you.
Come here. Let me see you.
Gapsangoe. It's been a while.
You set up a nice hideout here.
Do you know me?
Who are you?
I don't remember meeting you.
If you did,
you would've wanted to kill me, not her.
Did you cause the fires here
for the past 50 years?
Yes, I did.
At first, I was deceived by Dark Hole.
So I set that woman's house on fire.
But the fire was so beautiful.
And I loved hearing people scream too.
You have a lot of drums.
You didn't like
the sound of drums in your past life.
My son put all of those here.
That bastard is watching me,
just like his father.
In case I go out and set houses on fire.
He keeps playing the drums day and night
and it's torturing me.
It hurts as if I'm possessed by a spirit.
But my son told me something
that made me proud today.
What did he say?
He told me a woman from another region
is asking around
about the incident from 50 years ago.
I realized at that moment
that the dead Kim Hwa-yeon had come back.
If I knew she would come
and find me here on her own,
I wouldn't have asked him to do that.
Do what?
I told him…
that this was the last time
and that I wouldn't start another fire
if he killed that woman.
My son probably went
to grant me my last wish.
What did you just say?
You sent your son
to kill me as your last wish?
He went to start a fire.
No…
Where are you going?
We have to stop him.
Later. Focus on
getting your memories back.
Stop talking like a Monster!
-What?
-Just like 50 years ago,
innocent people might die because of me.
I ran away that time,
but I'll stop the fire this time.
Let go of me unless you'll help.
I don't have much time.
Hold onto it.
I'll be back soon. Wait for me here.
Whatever you do, don't enter her room.
You're going alone?
It's faster this way.
Do you know where her son went?
It's obvious.
ACCOMMODATION
The village chief and I were
going to pay the shaman a visit.
My mother isn't feeling well these days.
We have to postpone the ritual.
By the way…
a woman who looks like her
is staying here, right?
Gosh, she looks just like that woman.
She's staying here.
-Hurry, Mom.
-Okay.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Rest up.
-Okay.
You have a lot of customers today.
I had a busy week.
A lot of families came.
They're quite unlucky.
And so are you.
Pardon?
It's over now. It's over.
Right, Mom?
The man you came with isn't human, right?
He smells
just like the man with the dark hole
that I met 50 years ago.
Why are you with him?
He's the same as the man who killed you.
You…
tried to kill me in my past life, right?
Because you ran away
after abandoning your family.
Are you sure?
You're feeling bad about it?
What's so awful
about running away to save yourself?
You were born that way.
You're like me.
You were born as a human,
but you don't have any human emotions.
But I was close.
I chased after you,
but Dark Hole had already killed you.
I resented him so much for it.
I did see something interesting
after that though.
Something interesting?
Dark Hole.
His…
secret.
Dark Hole?
Ok Eul-tae's secret?
-You have a visitor.
-I know.
You're here.
I'm so tired.
The walk to your house
from the bus stop is too long.
It is? Thanks. Come here.
Sit down and get some rest.
Gosh, thanks for coming here.
Sit. You must be thirsty.
Here.
Sir, can't we just talk
on the phone next time?
Why? This way, I get to see you.
Also, I told you to call me by my name.
Why won't you?
Right.
It doesn't roll off my tongue.
By the way,
why did you want to see me today?
Nine.
This is why you wanted to see me?
-Eul-tae. You have no friends, right?
-No.
Don't you play new games?
You can buy gaming devices. You're rich.
Gosh. They give me headaches.
I'm old school, you know.
Goodness.
Right. Hwal didn't even have
an old computer at home.
Now that you stayed
with him for a while, how is he?
He's ill-tempered.
But he's not scary. I was really worried.
By the way,
I really almost died
when I was staging our encounter.
But thanks to him,
you easily got acquainted with Hwal.
Eul-tae, I'm not Bulgasal like you.
It really hurt like crazy.
But how much longer
do I have to watch Hwal?
It doesn't feel right.
I feel like I'm lying to him.
You don't have to feel bad.
This is actually going to help Hwal.
We're trying to protect him
from Min Sang-un.
But about that woman, Min Sang-un…
She's different from what you described.
She seemed ordinary.
Are you sure she's a bad person?
She only seems that way
because she lost her memories.
Her nature won't change.
It's in her nature to kill humans
and feed on human blood like a Monster.
Okay.
I see.
But if it's too much for you,
you can stop.
But aren't you curious
about your older brother?
How is he?
His treatment is going well.
He's gotten much better.
And here's a surprise present for you.
He might be discharged this year.
Really? Are you serious?
Thank you, Eul-tae.
Gosh, I wasn't fishing for gratitude.
You know that I care a lot
about the kids from your orphanage.
I'm especially attached to you brothers
because I met you when you were little.
I should thank you.
You are doing me a huge favor.
No, I'll keep trying.
But can I ask you one more question?
Sure. Ask away.
Did you have Si-ho abducted too?
-You didn't, right?
-I did. I told him to do it.
I see. Why?
Because I'm desperate.
I need to catch
Min Sang-un as soon as possible.
What did you see?
What's his secret?
I…
saw it.
I saw…
-Hey.
-Whatever you do, don't enter her room.
I saw it.
I saw it.
What did you say?
I saw him kill you.
And…
I saw him fall apart.
Are you disappointed
because I told him to abduct her?
Yes.
I don't want to hurt other people.
You said you were only after Min Sang-un.
Don't do that next time.
Si-ho is a nice person.
She might be sharp-tongued,
but she's had a difficult life.
Okay. I won't do that.
I'll never do that.
Thank you.
I should get going.
I have to get back before dinner.
What about me?
Pardon?
I also had a harder life than you think.
You should look out for me too.
Come on. Seriously?
I'll come back.
Let's play a new game next time.
This one is so boring.
See you next time, Eul-tae.
My life has been the hardest.
His weakness is…
Tell me again.
His weakness is…
What is his weakness?
…you.
Right. I forgot to tell you something.
I found out
where Hwal and Min Sang-un went.
They went to the village
she lived in 50 years ago
to find her memories of her past life.
Do you know where that is?
Gapsangoe.
I finally got you.
I have been waiting for 50 years.
Come with me.
Let's die together!
Eul-tae.
Are you all right? Eul-tae!
I saw it when Dark Hole killed you.
When he stabbed you
in the stomach with a sword…
What's wrong?
I'm all right. Just go.
-What's wrong? Are you hurt?
-Leave!
…his stomach was also bleeding.
What's the bond between you and him?
You were the one who was stabbed.
Why was he in pain?
I told you not to come in.
Watch out.
Please. Let me have that woman.
Give me that woman.
No.
She's mine.
Your life of burning people
to death is over.
Never be born again.
Are you all right?
I have to kill her.
If I want to be free from this pain,
I have to kill her as soon as I can.
What about Gapsangoe? Is Gapsangoe dead?
Just like Teoreokson…
another Monster was born as a human.
But why did she kill people?
Because she wasn't human.
She can't live as a human like you can.
You stopped the fire, right?
What about Gapsangoe's son?
Don't tell me you killed him.
I handed him over to the cops
and stopped the fire.
I'm glad to hear that.
Are we going back home now?
There is one last place to check out.
Gapsangoe's son told me something.
Is that…
really me from my past life?
Gapsangoe's son saw
his mother bury your body.
Gapsangoe didn't even want
to lose your body to other people.
Do you remember anything
from seeing your past life?
But how come I didn't die in the fire?
Because you ran away
after abandoning your family.
The fire killed her parents
along with another family
that was renting rooms from them.
Why did this woman run away alone
instead of trying to save
the others?
Was it because she was evil
in her past life like you said?
I really…
didn't want to accept that.
But she abandoned the people
who were dying because of her…
and ran away alone just to save herself.
What she did was something
no human would do.
She probably died
all alone on this mountain.
But I don't even feel bad for her.
What on earth was I?
I really have no idea now.
You're slowing us down.
The sun will set soon.
I'm coming.
What? So you can put me
over your shoulders again?
I can walk just fine.
Get on my back.
The sun will go down soon.
Don't complain about my weight.
You can easily carry me.
Is it because you're Bulgasal?
This is the first time
a man is carrying me on his back.
My father passed away when I was young.
If it's too much, you can put me down.
Are you listening?
Hey.
Hey.
It's Dan Hwal.
What?
My name is Dan Hwal.
So stop saying "Hey." It's distracting.
BULGASAL: IMMORTAL SOULS
Subtitle translation by: Won-hyang Son
I should meet with Hwal.
He and Sang-un seem
to be getting along better than I thought.
When this photo was taken,
his name was Ok Sang-yeong.
I think he changes his identity
every 30 years.
I said not to do anything dangerous.
How can I just stay still
when a monster is roaming around?
Were you following me?
Does anyone know you're here with me?
It's hard to find missing people
in these areas.
I knew the truth.
I knew that you were
the true owner of her soul.
The moment that person
regains their memory,
everyone here will die.

A scar on my shoulder?
When I checked your sister's dead body,
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 didn't have one.
That means…
I wasn't Bulgasal.
Who exactly are you?
I want to know too.
Are you sure I'm the one…
you want to take revenge on?
We can find out.
Let's go and check.
Right now.
EPISODE 7
Hey! You need to take more…
Gosh, that brat.
Goodness. Oh, my.
Ms. Lee, don't you think
we bought way too much stuff?
He might give us an earful.
We have more packages coming too.
What choice did we have?
There's nothing in this house.
Why are you hugging that?
Go and tell them to come out.
We have too much stuff.
Okay.
We get to have rice starting today.
Why is he so excited?
Hasn't he had rice before?
Well, it's only a dress.
He won't be mad, right?
This dress is totally me.
It looks great on me.
-Ms. Lee!
-Oh, my goodness.
-What is it?
-No one is here.
Hwal and Sang-un aren't here either.
I wonder where they went.
What?
SANG-UN
I'm sorry. Can you tell me that again?
Sure. You said you didn't have
any headaches or ringing in your ears.
-No vomiting or nausea?
-Right.
You're fine then.
By the way, she's your niece?
Well…
She's my sister's daughter.
I see. But are you not going to marry?
You could have had a daughter her age.
Do you want me to set you up?
I know a friend who's single.
Shut up, you quack.
So does she have a concussion or not?
I don't think so.
Do you want her to take an X-ray?
Yes. Get her an X-ray.
Wait. I have a question.
Yes?
Is it safe for a pregnant woman
to get an X-ray?
What? Pregnant?
Hey.
Who's the father? Your boyfriend?
My ex-boyfriend.
Your ex? Did you guys break up?
Does he know that you're pregnant?
Yes. He said he wanted no part in this.
So I said okay.
What? Why are you the only one
taking care of the baby?
What an asshole.
You should have dated a nice guy.
Do you think I knew he was
a jerk from the beginning?
I dated him because
he was nice to me at first.
Besides, he's handsome.
I tend to fall for hot guys.
Hot guys? It's not like
you can live off of their looks.
Why do you keep nagging me?
This is hard on me too.
Besides, I can just be a good mother.
Don't you know
how hard it is being a single…
I mean…
I'm old enough to be your dad.
I'm just worried like any parent would be.
How would you know how parents feel?
You're not even married.
Well, right.
I'm not married.
Well…
thank you, detective.
For taking me to the hospital
and for helping my sister.
Don't mention it.
I feel responsible
for the case from 15 years ago.
And I'm personally interested
in Bulgasal too.
Why personally?
I just am.
Is there anything you know about Bulgasal?
Oh, I heard a name from my sister.
Ok Eul-tae.
Ok Eul-tae?
Ok Eul-tae.
Hey, Sang-un. I'm on my way home.
What? Where?
I'm just out.
Yes. He's with me too.
Gosh. Don't worry.
See you at home.
What did the doctor say?
-She's fine.
-That's good.
What?
Are you worried about my sister?
Come to think of it, you were also worried
about her when she was abducted. Why…
Why are we here? There's nothing here.
There used to be a house
that two families lived in.
But it burned down
in the middle of the night
fifty years ago.
So why are we at a place where
a fire took place 50 years ago?
Their eldest daughter was you.
What?
I'm talking about your past life.
My past life?
Your name was Kim Hwa-yeon.
You were about the same age.
BULGASAL
YEAR 1971
According to her neighbors,
Kim Hwa-yeon always stayed at home.
And she never set foot outside the house.
They said she was afraid of something.
Her parents were worried about her,
so they tried everything.
Including rituals and drugs.
Take your medicine.
Please take it. Please?
Hwa-yeon.
-Hwa-yeon.
-Hwa-yeon!
What on earth is wrong with you?
Father, don't.
-Please don't.
-Her neighbors just thought she was crazy.
Father, stop it. Please.
Only her younger sister accepted her
for who she was and took care of her.
Are you okay, Hwa-yeon?
Hwa-yeon.
-No, you can't go in there.
-One day, a fire broke out at the house.
The neighbors said
that the crazy elder daughter
set the house on fire before running away.
Please help them!
The fire killed her parents
along with another family
that was renting rooms from them.
No! Mom!
The younger sister who worked late
at a factory was the only survivor.
Her name was Kim Go-bun.
Why? Why did you do that, sister?
You shouldn't have run away like that!
It came after you left.
Our house was engulfed in flames.
Our parents were trapped inside the house.
That can't be.
I killed my parents in my past life?
There was a witness.
The police got a statement
from a neighbor who saw her
running away into the mountains
after setting the house on fire.
So what happened to Kim Hwa-yeon?
It was here.
She died here
when Ok Eul-tae came after her.
Kim Hwa-yeon's belongings
were found nearby,
but her body was gone.
Ok Eul-tae probably took it.
She ran away to the mountains,
but Ok Eul-tae killed her?
He killed her here?
Do you remember anything?
No.
This is where you died a seventh time.
I don't remember anything.
But are you sure
Kim Hwa-yeon set the house on fire?
Why would she do that?
It was to run away from Ok Eul-tae
by faking her own death.
She sacrificed her family
just to save herself?
Only an evil spirit would do such a thing.
You keep forgetting
that you weren't human.
Just look at Ok Eul-tae.
Human lives didn't matter to you at all.
Are you sure I was Kim Hwa-yeon?
I don't have a scar on my shoulder.
Are you sure I was Bulgasal?
Yes, you were.
I don't know what you're up to,
being born without the scar
and without memories.
But you were Bulgasal who killed people.
Just keep going.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
The sun will go down soon.
And you'll walk slower.
That's why I wanted to come
once my ankle healed.
But you didn't listen to me.
What?
Are you going to carry me on your back?
Why? That's a hassle.
Hey.
Hey.
We're here. Goodness.
Hold on. I think you can put me down now.
Hey! Goodness.
You're unbelievable.
Do you think I'm a piece of luggage?
You're heavy for a girl.
I'm tall! My bones are heavy. That's all.
We need a place to stay for the night.
Aren't we going home?
We're not going back
until you remember something.
Listen. How can ordinary people
remember their past lives?
But you're not ordinary.
Your sister remembered them.
She was…
Gosh, he's impossible.
Right.
But how do you know so much
about a case from 50 years ago?
Because I came to find you
the day the house was set on fire.
But I was late.
It was after Ok Eul-tae
had already found and killed you.
Ok Eul-tae was good at finding me
in my past lives and still is.
But I know nothing about him.
I only know his name.
Ok Eul-tae?
Who is Ok Eul-tae?
That's what I need you to find out.
Find out what he does.
Bullshit. You want me
to do that with just his name?
Come on. I don't have
a lot of proper work these days.
And my VIP client hasn't called lately.
He was scary,
but he was so generous with money.
Oh, the client who wanted you
to find a woman?
I guess he already found her.
What? You think so?
Damn it.
How much will you pay me for Ok Eul-tae?
It's a personal request
so I can't pay you much.
Why are you looking for him?
He's the killer from my case
that happened 15 years ago.
The killer?
Don't you have any colleagues
who still work at the station?
I do have one.
But he's such an asshole.
That's hot. Be careful, Captain Ham.
I don't drink sugary coffee.
What? Why are you here again?
I wanted to ask you something.
Have you heard of a guy named Ok Eul-tae?
Never heard of him. Who is Ok Eul-tae?
It's about my case from 15 years ago.
The higher-ups closed my case abruptly.
And I think that guy, Ok Eul-tae,
might be behind that.
What are you talking about?
Remember the guy
who suddenly turned himself in?
And the higher-ups told us to close it.
That was all set up.
That was because…
the detective in charge launched
a coercive investigation,
and the suspect committed suicide.
Hey, take it. You should leave now.
I don't want to talk about this
over a cheap cup of coffee.
Hey. Then who told you
to wrap up the recent case?
The murderer who died in the pool.
He didn't commit suicide.
Who told you to wrap up the case?
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
Both cases have to do with Ok Eul-tae.
-He must be behind these cases.
-What?
Hey, that guy looks familiar.
He's the Mayor.
He was the prosecutor in charge
of Min Sang-yeon's case 15 years ago.
Right.
So what?
Why is he here?
What's the Mayor doing
at a police station?
Did he…
come to the station frequently
during the swimming pool case?
Well, I didn't see him every time,
but I know he was here.
Wait.
What?
Don't go after the Mayor.
I heard a few things.
He's really dangerous.
Just listen to me.
What is this place?
Seriously?
Why must I wear this every time?
We're not here to play games.
He's been meeting so many people
for a long time, so it gets confusing.
SANGYONG CITY MAYOR
This way.
He called all of you?
Come on. He didn't tell me
that you would all be here.
-We should come running if we're summoned.
-That's right.
Hey, are you already flattering him
to be on his good side?
This is your first term.
You also came running like a dog.
Don't be like that.
You're still wet behind your ears.
Do you have a death wish?
Why the hell are you fighting
on a good day like this?
Sit down.
You should get along with others
to be good people. Okay?
Brief me.
Did you check the deed?
Yes.
All right. Let's see.
The house belongs to…
What? Ok Eul-tae?
He's the guy you're looking for.
Nice. How did you find him?
This is Ok Eul-tae's house?
The relocation of the terminal
is getting delayed due to the residents.
We compensated them but they won't budge.
Tear them down.
Well, there's another problem
besides the residents.
An environmental organization
has raised problems.
It might affect
the preliminary feasibility tests.
Just find a way to tear them down.
Yes, sir.
-All good, right? No more questions. Done.
-But…
I just don't understand
why you're staying in Sangyong City,
and not the capital.
You are too good
to stay in this rural city, sir.
SANGYONG CITY MAYOR
SANGYONG CITY CONGRESSMAN
A very long time ago,
I did business all over the capital.
But it was too exhausting.
People kept coming to me.
There were so many moochers.
You get me, right?
I'm comfortable here
because this city is completely mine.
I know everything
that goes on in this city.
Who was that? Your daughter.
Does she still do drugs?
Pardon?
Gosh. What drugs?
She never did drugs.
What? Why does he say that?
You can't say that to me, Mr. Mayor.
I know everything that goes on here.
Why are you lying to me?
I can easily plant people
to be my eyes and ears.
I do that because
humans try to stab me in the back
and take a mile when I give them an inch.
Hey, what's up?
Dan Hwal went with her?
What? They're getting along.
It sounded like he was going to kill her
and take her soul.
Okay. Find out where
they went together and let me know.
I need to know what they are up to.
Okay. Thanks.
ACCOMMODATION
Are we really getting one room?
It's dangerous to be alone.
Ok Eul-tae might be watching us even now.
What? Do you snore?
I don't snore.
I just have disruptive sleep behavior.
You might be uncomfortable. I don't care.
Here. Change your bandages.
Hey. Aren't you cold?
Are you okay?
Are you sleeping?
-What?
-What happened?
-Do something!
-There are people inside!
-My goodness.
-They're still in there.
Oh, no. What do we do?
Mom…
I'm relieved.
Mom. Dad. Run away.
I'm relieved that you are in agony.
I want you to suffer…
because of…
the evil deeds you have committed.
Gosh, I feel so stiff.
What? Why are you staring at me?
You're very different at night.
In what way?
Did I talk a lot in my sleep?
Gosh, you lovebirds
must be on a romantic trip.
We're not a couple.
Goodness. The honeymoon phase is sweet.
You don't want anything, Mr. Boyfriend?
I'm fine.
I bet. You must be full
just by looking at her.
Gosh. What is she thinking?
Why didn't you say anything?
It doesn't matter.
Eat up quickly. We need to go somewhere.
What? Where?
We're going to meet
Kim Hwa-yeon's neighbors
who remember what happened 50 years ago.
You might remember something
when you talk to them.
Well…
I guess so.
I'll be in the car.
Eat up and meet me there.
I think I might get indigestion.
Come on. Is she serious?
How could she spend the night out
without telling me?
She should know how dangerous that is.
Is that Sang-un? Where is she?
I don't know.
She won't tell me where she is.
She just tells me not to worry.
What? You're still eating?
You two are the slowest eaters.
Finish up before the packages come.
We have work to do.
What? What work?
This isn't right.
Here. I'll clean the living room.
Clean the bathroom, brother.
What? No.
You should clean the bathroom, sister.
Hey, this bathroom is a dump.
I was abducted pretty recently.
So my head hurts,
and I feel nauseous. Okay?
Stop lying. The doctor said you were fine.
I moved all that stuff yesterday.
You didn't see it. But it was heavy.
My wrist hurts.
Look. My wrist is messed up.
Don't you feel bad making me work?
No. I pity myself more
for getting abducted
and being on the run without a home.
-So you should clean it.
-I'm homeless too.
I grew up in an orphanage.
I don't have any family.
Hey, I don't have parents either.
I lost them in an accident as a kid.
I only have Sang-un.
You at least have her. I'm all alone.
You're frustrating.
I bet you were bad at math.
Hey, this isn't about math.
Be quiet, you brats.
I told you to clean. Why are you chatting?
Ms. Lee, she keeps
bringing up my painful past.
-I had to say something.
-You little…
Your painful past?
Gosh. You think
you're the only one with a sob story?
Here's a story about a girl.
She lost her parents in an accident,
so she had a tough life at an orphanage.
She married a man
who wasn't even good to her.
When she was pregnant,
he had an affair
with another woman and left her.
She tried so hard
to have the baby by herself,
but she miscarried.
She tried everything to end her life,
but she couldn't
as it wasn't her time yet.
Gosh, what a tough life.
Who is that woman?
Me.
So who's going to clean the bathroom?
We should do it.
-We'll do it.
-Right.
Okay.
Ms. Lee, do you need help with anything?
I'm good. I'm almost done.
No, let me help you.
By the way,
there's something I've been curious about.
How did you meet that man, Hwal?
Him?
I told you I was orphaned
because I lost my parents in an accident.
Hwal saved me from the accident.
He supported me at the orphanage too.
He saved you from the accident?
How?
I don't remember.
I lost my memories
because of the accident.
You lost your memories?
Yes. It happened when I was six years old.
I have no memories before then.
Then everything you know
must be what that man, Hwal, told you.
Right.
Aren't you curious?
About what?
Were you really in an accident?
Do you think he could have lied to you?
Gosh. What are you talking about?
Why would he?
I don't know.
I just didn't think
Bulgasal would want to help people.
Which brings me to my point.
Should I take a look?
-Take a look at what?
-Your past.
Right! Hwal told me.
You can see people's pasts, right?
Oh, right.
Didn't you say that
at the motel when we first met?
That he knew me well.
How does he know about me?
Oh, that? I'm not really sure.
We're busy today.
Let's talk some other time.
My goodness. My legs.
This? I had it ever since I was young.
It must be from the accident.
It looks like a burn.
Then the accident you were in…
Was it a fire?
Well, I wouldn't know. Give me that.
Fire?
Yes. The fire that took place
at Kim Hwa-yeon's house 50 years ago.
Why are you asking me that?
Did you hear the rumor?
Are you from a TV station?
To tell people
that our village is haunted?
Haunted?
Don't ask me any more questions.
If you go around and ask people
about the fire, they'll beat you up.
Ma'am. Please help us.
Tell us what you know.
Please.
I don't know!
Do you know Kim Go-bun,
the younger sister of Kim Hwa-yeon?
Kim Go-bun is my grandmother.
I think I'm related to Kim Hwa-yeon.
What?
Well…
there have been
a lot of fires in our village.
A gifted shaman here said
it's because it is haunted
by Kim Hwa-yeon's spirit.
We would have a few peaceful years
after performing a ritual.
But there was another fire a while ago.
Ms. Ulsan who lived alone…
Goodness.
What do you think happened?
Did someone set the house on fire?
Kim Hwa-yeon died 50 years ago.
But there have been fires
for years even after her death?
Could it be Gapsangoe?
GAPSANGOE: A MONSTER IN THE MOUNT GAP AREA
THAT KILLS PEOPLE WITH FIRE
Drum harder!
Gapsangoe hates the sound of drums.
That Monster burns people to death.
I see fire! Get ready!
Kim Hwa-yeon's family?
Yes. Do you remember Kim Go-bun,
Kim Hwa-yeon's younger sister?
I think it was her granddaughter.
I was wondering if she would be able
to coax the spirit out of here
since she's Kim Hwa-yeon's family.
I will meet with her. Where did she go?
I think she went that way.
A reincarnation of Gapsangoe?
Starting from 50 years ago,
this village suffered
repeatedly from fires.
This so-called Kim Hwa-yeon's spirit
is Gapsangoe.
Just like the other Monsters,
it must've come here following her scent.
And it must still be here.
Then Kim Hwa-yeon didn't start that fire
from 50 years ago.
I believe it was Gapsangoe's doing.
Then let's find Gapsangoe.
If it's still here, I can find it.
We have to find out
what happened 50 years ago.
Follow the fire. The fire.
50 YEARS AGO
-What do we do?
-How did this happen?
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Come here.
Have you seen this woman?
That's the landlord's eldest daughter.
Where did you last see her?
She ran away.
To that mountain.
But, mister…
what about my mom and dad?
They're still inside the house.
If you go down that way,
you'll see your neighbors.
Going after her is pointless.
She's dead.
Dark Hole destroyed
her soul and killed her.
How do you know that?
If you want to find her, follow the fire.
The fire.
What are you talking about?
The baby should have been killed when
it was covered in its dead mother's blood.
The curse of the blood
should have ended then!
If it ended then,
this wouldn't have happened!
This wouldn't have happened!
Are you here…
because of my karma too?
Why…
Come on.
My arm hurts.
If you don't want to do it, forget it.
I'm busy.
I'll do it. I will.
I'm just nervous.
I've never purposely done this.
Right.
Why are you so curious about my past?
I just don't get it.
I want to check
if that man really saved you.
If I know he's not a bad man,
I wouldn't worry when they're together.
But I don't believe in stuff like this.
I don't even go to shamans.
You think I'm a shaman?
-You're not?
-What? Of course, I'm not.
When I touch people's hands,
I just see their pasts.
I had a tough childhood because of this.
The pasts I saw were mostly bad.
Don't be nervous.
I'm just an old, boring woman.
Here.
I'll do it now.
Mom!
What's wrong?
Where am I going?
You'll come with me.
You will be helpful to me someday.
Who is it?
Who's watching me?
You're watching my soul's memories, right?
If you are, take them.
Take all of my soul's memories.
They're painful!
Your nose is bleeding!
You talked to me.
What are you talking about?
You're not making any sense.
What's wrong? What on earth did you see?
Gosh. Your body is cold as ice.
Wait here.
I'll go and bring some honey water.
Goodness. What just happened?
I shouldn't have asked her to see my past.
Ms. Lee.
-Ms. Lee!
-Yes?
Yes. Goodness. What is it?
You were spacing out for a second.
Our packages will arrive soon.
-Already?
-Yes.
Gosh. I'm not done cleaning yet.
Did you clean the living room?
Already done.
Since I'm done cleaning,
I'll go out for a while.
I need to be somewhere.
Where? You said you had no friends.
Are you leaving to avoid cleaning?
Gosh. I also have a personal life.
My privacy. Okay?
Be back before dinner. Okay?
Gosh. That was kind of touching.
That sounded like something
you'd say to your family. Right?
As if.
Hwal might come home before you.
We should get scolded together.
It's not like he'll hurt us.
Besides, why isn't he coming home?
I have no idea.
They left to find her memories.
Those so-called enemies
seem to get along well.
Where are we?
You said we were meeting
a witness from 50 years ago.
This shaman's son was the witness
who saw Kim Hwa-yeon
set the house on fire.
Don't come out. Watch from here.
What will you do?
Excuse me.
Are you the shaman's son?
Yes. Why?
I'm looking into the fires
that took place here.
I have nothing to say.
The police told me not to say anything.
Fifty years ago, you said Kim Hwa-yeon
ran away after setting the house on fire.
That was a long time ago.
I don't remember it.
I smell something funny in your car.
It smells like paint thinners.
I use them for rituals.
I'm preparing for a ritual
because a fire broke out.
Could you look over there?
Stop bothering me. Or I'll call the cops.
Was it him?
It wasn't him. I didn't sense anything.
That can't be.
Your hand…
I'm sure it's coming from inside.
But my hand is barely shaking.
This is odd.
Oh, my. Am I dreaming or what?
I have been waiting for a very long time.
I couldn't leave this world
because I had to see you.
Come here. Let me see you.
Gapsangoe. It's been a while.
You set up a nice hideout here.
Do you know me?
Who are you?
I don't remember meeting you.
If you did,
you would've wanted to kill me, not her.
Did you cause the fires here
for the past 50 years?
Yes, I did.
At first, I was deceived by Dark Hole.
So I set that woman's house on fire.
But the fire was so beautiful.
And I loved hearing people scream too.
You have a lot of drums.
You didn't like
the sound of drums in your past life.
My son put all of those here.
That bastard is watching me,
just like his father.
In case I go out and set houses on fire.
He keeps playing the drums day and night
and it's torturing me.
It hurts as if I'm possessed by a spirit.
But my son told me something
that made me proud today.
What did he say?
He told me a woman from another region
is asking around
about the incident from 50 years ago.
I realized at that moment
that the dead Kim Hwa-yeon had come back.
If I knew she would come
and find me here on her own,
I wouldn't have asked him to do that.
Do what?
I told him…
that this was the last time
and that I wouldn't start another fire
if he killed that woman.
My son probably went
to grant me my last wish.
What did you just say?
You sent your son
to kill me as your last wish?
He went to start a fire.
No…
Where are you going?
We have to stop him.
Later. Focus on
getting your memories back.
Stop talking like a Monster!
-What?
-Just like 50 years ago,
innocent people might die because of me.
I ran away that time,
but I'll stop the fire this time.
Let go of me unless you'll help.
I don't have much time.
Hold onto it.
I'll be back soon. Wait for me here.
Whatever you do, don't enter her room.
You're going alone?
It's faster this way.
Do you know where her son went?
It's obvious.
ACCOMMODATION
The village chief and I were
going to pay the shaman a visit.
My mother isn't feeling well these days.
We have to postpone the ritual.
By the way…
a woman who looks like her
is staying here, right?
Gosh, she looks just like that woman.
She's staying here.
-Hurry, Mom.
-Okay.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Rest up.
-Okay.
You have a lot of customers today.
I had a busy week.
A lot of families came.
They're quite unlucky.
And so are you.
Pardon?
It's over now. It's over.
Right, Mom?
The man you came with isn't human, right?
He smells
just like the man with the dark hole
that I met 50 years ago.
Why are you with him?
He's the same as the man who killed you.
You…
tried to kill me in my past life, right?
Because you ran away
after abandoning your family.
Are you sure?
You're feeling bad about it?
What's so awful
about running away to save yourself?
You were born that way.
You're like me.
You were born as a human,
but you don't have any human emotions.
But I was close.
I chased after you,
but Dark Hole had already killed you.
I resented him so much for it.
I did see something interesting
after that though.
Something interesting?
Dark Hole.
His…
secret.
Dark Hole?
Ok Eul-tae's secret?
-You have a visitor.
-I know.
You're here.
I'm so tired.
The walk to your house
from the bus stop is too long.
It is? Thanks. Come here.
Sit down and get some rest.
Gosh, thanks for coming here.
Sit. You must be thirsty.
Here.
Sir, can't we just talk
on the phone next time?
Why? This way, I get to see you.
Also, I told you to call me by my name.
Why won't you?
Right.
It doesn't roll off my tongue.
By the way,
why did you want to see me today?
Nine.
This is why you wanted to see me?
-Eul-tae. You have no friends, right?
-No.
Don't you play new games?
You can buy gaming devices. You're rich.
Gosh. They give me headaches.
I'm old school, you know.
Goodness.
Right. Hwal didn't even have
an old computer at home.
Now that you stayed
with him for a while, how is he?
He's ill-tempered.
But he's not scary. I was really worried.
By the way,
I really almost died
when I was staging our encounter.
But thanks to him,
you easily got acquainted with Hwal.
Eul-tae, I'm not Bulgasal like you.
It really hurt like crazy.
But how much longer
do I have to watch Hwal?
It doesn't feel right.
I feel like I'm lying to him.
You don't have to feel bad.
This is actually going to help Hwal.
We're trying to protect him
from Min Sang-un.
But about that woman, Min Sang-un…
She's different from what you described.
She seemed ordinary.
Are you sure she's a bad person?
She only seems that way
because she lost her memories.
Her nature won't change.
It's in her nature to kill humans
and feed on human blood like a Monster.
Okay.
I see.
But if it's too much for you,
you can stop.
But aren't you curious
about your older brother?
How is he?
His treatment is going well.
He's gotten much better.
And here's a surprise present for you.
He might be discharged this year.
Really? Are you serious?
Thank you, Eul-tae.
Gosh, I wasn't fishing for gratitude.
You know that I care a lot
about the kids from your orphanage.
I'm especially attached to you brothers
because I met you when you were little.
I should thank you.
You are doing me a huge favor.
No, I'll keep trying.
But can I ask you one more question?
Sure. Ask away.
Did you have Si-ho abducted too?
-You didn't, right?
-I did. I told him to do it.
I see. Why?
Because I'm desperate.
I need to catch
Min Sang-un as soon as possible.
What did you see?
What's his secret?
I…
saw it.
I saw…
-Hey.
-Whatever you do, don't enter her room.
I saw it.
I saw it.
What did you say?
I saw him kill you.
And…
I saw him fall apart.
Are you disappointed
because I told him to abduct her?
Yes.
I don't want to hurt other people.
You said you were only after Min Sang-un.
Don't do that next time.
Si-ho is a nice person.
She might be sharp-tongued,
but she's had a difficult life.
Okay. I won't do that.
I'll never do that.
Thank you.
I should get going.
I have to get back before dinner.
What about me?
Pardon?
I also had a harder life than you think.
You should look out for me too.
Come on. Seriously?
I'll come back.
Let's play a new game next time.
This one is so boring.
See you next time, Eul-tae.
My life has been the hardest.
His weakness is…
Tell me again.
His weakness is…
What is his weakness?
…you.
Right. I forgot to tell you something.
I found out
where Hwal and Min Sang-un went.
They went to the village
she lived in 50 years ago
to find her memories of her past life.
Do you know where that is?
Gapsangoe.
I finally got you.
I have been waiting for 50 years.
Come with me.
Let's die together!
Eul-tae.
Are you all right? Eul-tae!
I saw it when Dark Hole killed you.
When he stabbed you
in the stomach with a sword…
What's wrong?
I'm all right. Just go.
-What's wrong? Are you hurt?
-Leave!
…his stomach was also bleeding.
What's the bond between you and him?
You were the one who was stabbed.
Why was he in pain?
I told you not to come in.
Watch out.
Please. Let me have that woman.
Give me that woman.
No.
She's mine.
Your life of burning people
to death is over.
Never be born again.
Are you all right?
I have to kill her.
If I want to be free from this pain,
I have to kill her as soon as I can.
What about Gapsangoe? Is Gapsangoe dead?
Just like Teoreokson…
another Monster was born as a human.
But why did she kill people?
Because she wasn't human.
She can't live as a human like you can.
You stopped the fire, right?
What about Gapsangoe's son?
Don't tell me you killed him.
I handed him over to the cops
and stopped the fire.
I'm glad to hear that.
Are we going back home now?
There is one last place to check out.
Gapsangoe's son told me something.
Is that…
really me from my past life?
Gapsangoe's son saw
his mother bury your body.
Gapsangoe didn't even want
to lose your body to other people.
Do you remember anything
from seeing your past life?
But how come I didn't die in the fire?
Because you ran away
after abandoning your family.
The fire killed her parents
along with another family
that was renting rooms from them.
Why did this woman run away alone
instead of trying to save
the others?
Was it because she was evil
in her past life like you said?
I really…
didn't want to accept that.
But she abandoned the people
who were dying because of her…
and ran away alone just to save herself.
What she did was something
no human would do.
She probably died
all alone on this mountain.
But I don't even feel bad for her.
What on earth was I?
I really have no idea now.
You're slowing us down.
The sun will set soon.
I'm coming.
What? So you can put me
over your shoulders again?
I can walk just fine.
Get on my back.
The sun will go down soon.
Don't complain about my weight.
You can easily carry me.
Is it because you're Bulgasal?
This is the first time
a man is carrying me on his back.
My father passed away when I was young.
If it's too much, you can put me down.
Are you listening?
Hey.
Hey.
It's Dan Hwal.
What?
My name is Dan Hwal.
So stop saying "Hey." It's distracting.
BULGASAL: IMMORTAL SOULS
Subtitle translation by: Won-hyang Son
I should meet with Hwal.
He and Sang-un seem
to be getting along better than I thought.
When this photo was taken,
his name was Ok Sang-yeong.
I think he changes his identity
every 30 years.
I said not to do anything dangerous.
How can I just stay still
when a monster is roaming around?
Were you following me?
Does anyone know you're here with me?
It's hard to find missing people
in these areas.
I knew the truth.
I knew that you were
the true owner of her soul.
The moment that person
regains their memory,
everyone here will die.
