Ji Ah Quits Being an Exorcist

1
DAEBAK REALTY
Staying in this world
as a spirit without a body is equivalent
to standing outside only in underwear
when there's a snowstorm
in the middle of winter.
Help me.
No matter what you hear,
do not come downstairs. Understood?
Hwa-jeong, listen carefully.
A child possessed by an egg ghost is here.
But egg ghosts can't be exorcised.
Killing the person that's been possessed
is the only way to dissipate the spirit.
In-beom, let's go.
I heard what you said on the phone.
Move.
If I don't perform an exorcism on him,
more people will die.
To stop that disaster,
we must sacrifice the boy.
What are you talking about?
A disaster or not,
I'll never let you kill In-beom!
You will never understand.
No.
Don't kill me
I'm sorry
Die! Just die!
Uncle.
Please don't kill me
Please don't kill me
Mom!
Mom?
The needle.
I told you, you have to stab it
in the heart in one go.
Stab it
in the heart in one go.
Mom.
Mi-jin.
Mom
Mom
Mom
RECORD OF EXORCISM: 1979
I
killed my mom.
Ms. Hong.
No.
Ms. Hong! Wake up.
Hong Ji-a!
Visiting hours are over. We need to go.
No.
I need to keep her warm.
You've done enough.
What do you think
she was trying to do?
I think she was possessed
by her mom several times.
Isn't it dangerous
for the exorcist to be possessed?
Not once
but many times at that.
An exorcist falls into a trance
when they're possessed
by a vengeful spirit.
In Ji-a's case, she sees
the day her mom died.
But
when she was possessed
by the water ghost last time,
she told me that she remembered
a part of her memories she'd forgotten.
Then was she
trying to retrieve
her lost memories from 20 years ago?
I think
she wanted to find out the truth
even if she might die trying.
Have you still not located Tae-jin?
I'm sorry, sir.
We're still looking for him.
He was going to bring me the memorandum.
How could you still not have found him?
He was recently spotted
at an employment agency,
so I've sent some men over.
That sly fox.
They could've ordered
some sweet and sour pork as well.
Your ID.
What?
ANT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
Yang Chang-hwa?
Hey, are you Chang-hwa?
-The son of Changhwa Restaurant?
-Yes.
It's nice to finally meet you.
What a small world.
Who are you?
You don't need to know that.
Right. You little brat.
Your mom is desperately
waiting for you, so hurry over.
If I could have my way,
I'd drag you there.
But I can't do that.
Better yet, give me your phone.
Let's call her now.
Do you not have one?
Do you even remember her number?
Hey, give me a piece of paper and a pen.
Here.
Doing this won't wash away all my sins.
Take it.
Why you little
You'll never get away
with breaking your parents' hearts.
I'm speaking from experience.
You better call her, okay?
What?
-Hey.
-Yes?
Kim Tae-jin is here, isn't he?
No, sir.
We haven't been in touch recently.
Hey! Kim Tae-jin! Stop right there!
Do you think I'll just stop?
Hey, the jjajangmyeon
is going to get soggy. Eat up.
Hey.
-Hey!
-You bastard!
-You sly, little fox!
-Stop right there!
-Hey!
-Stop!
Run as far away as you can, you bastard!
HAESIN GENERAL HOSPITAL
PATIENT: HONG
Are you awake?
Your face is pale.
Are you still cold?
In-beom.
Get out.
Did you get possessed
by your mother on purpose?
Why did you do such a dangerous thing?
It could've been bad.
I saw everything.
I don't know what you saw,
but you were in a trance.
It's not accurate.
I remember everything.
I remember everything I saw and heard
that day.
Mi-jin.
Mom
You saw it too.
How
How I stabbed my own mother to death.
You were
only exorcising the spirit.
Shut your mouth!
How could you be so arrogant?
Do you think you're some kind of god?
For 20 years,
I have controlled me as you wanted.
Has it been fun for you?
I
Don't you dare say you did it for my sake.
I don't even want to hear your voice
or see that face of yours.
It's horrifying.
Get out.
Get out!
What happened?
Ms. Joo. You didn't eat yet, right? Let's
Something feels off here.
Did something happen?
Try some.
The restaurant lady packed this for you.
Something is definitely off.
What do you mean?
It's odd she fought with Ms. Joo
as soon as she woke up.
They had a fight?
I thought they'd never fight.
I wonder what happened.
The way Ms. Hong looked at me was odd too.
When people are sick,
they get sensitive and easily irritated.
Give her some time.
PATIENT: HONG
Ms. Hong. I'm coming in.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
JOO HWA-JEONG
Since you remember everything now,
there's no point in hiding it.
YEAR 2001
BANGSO-DONG REALTY MURDER CASE
So it's been
in that drawer over there all along.
You guys have done a good job
making a fool out of me.
I'm sorry.
YEAR 2001
BANGSO-DONG REALTY MURDER CASE
CASE REPOR
THE DECEASED HONG MI-JIN WAS STABBED
WITH A SHARP HAIRPIN
By the time I arrived at the scene
after getting a phone call,
your mother had already passed away.
And you, Oh In-beom,
and Oh Seong-sik were unconscious.
The cause of death was
excessive bleeding after getting stabbed
with a sharp hairpin.
And the fingerprints found on the hairpin
belonged to you and your mother.
The analysis of the angle
and depth of the wound showed
the person who'd stabbed her
was you, Ji-a.
That was the conclusion I reached.
CRIME SCENE PHOTOS
That must be why she couldn't leave.
She was stabbed to death
by her own daughter.
Of course, she couldn't rest in peace.
Then what should I do, Mom?
For this to end,
I have to disappear, right?
Right?
I think she wanted to find out the truth
even if she might die trying.
I
killed my mom.
Ms. Hong.
Sorry. It's me.
You haven't found her yet?
I searched everywhere,
but I didn't see her.
You should stay here
and call me if Ms. Hong comes back.
Okay.
Where are you going?
You know, don't you?
The truth about that day
that Ms. Hong found out.
By any chance,
did I kill her mother 20 years ago
when I was possessed?
Did I?
It's the opposite.
Ji-a's mother tried to kill you.
Then this necklace is
probably not from Ms. Hong's mother.
She wouldn't have given it
to the kid she tried to kill.
In-beom
It's all my fault.
You can't die, In-beom.
Mr. Oh.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
He said he would give me
an apartment unit in return.
I must have gone mad. I'm so sorry.
So it is you that created the egg ghost.
The spirits of the seven people who died
in a fire you set became an egg ghost.
And Mi-jin died trying to exorcise it.
Eight people died
all because of your greed.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done it. I'm so sorry.
If you're truly sorry, turn yourself in.
Turn yourself in
and pay for what you've done.
Yes. I'll do that.
I was going to turn myself in.
I'm telling the truth.
And this.
Put this necklace on your nephew.
As long as he's wearing it,
it'll never happen.
Make sure he never takes it off,
no matter what.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I hated your uncle for what he'd done.
But you were innocent in this.
I did the best I could in that situation.
For you
and for Ji-a.
The best you could
Are you telling me that trying to deceive
Ms. Hong and hide the truth forever
was the best you could?
Don't put it that way.
Ji-a even distorted and erased
her own memories of that day to survive.
Do you really think I should've told her
because it was the truth?
I once asked Ms. Hong
about you, Ms. Joo.
Ms. Joo is
the only person I trust in this world.
You betrayed
her only trust.
Thank you very much
for this necklace.
Thanks to it, I've been able to stay safe.
BLUE SAL
No touching.
Why not?
I just have to put this here, right?
No, that's not right.
I heard your new psychic
has amazing spiritual energy.
He quit.
What a shame.
Ms. Joo said he was good-looking too.
No? Was she exaggerating?
No, she wasn't.
Nice.
By the way, is it okay to be away
from your office for so long?
I'm quitting my job as an exorcist.
Is that so?
I sold the realty office too.
You must mean it this time.
How will you make a living then?
I'm going to travel.
Travel, my foot. You're a homebody.
You hate traveling.
I can't stay home forever.
I don't think you'll be able to quit.
I can.
Do you really think
you've been doing this job
because you haven't been able
to put your mother to rest?
You say you're sick of them
and never want to see them again,
but I doubt you can turn a blind eye
to vengeful spirits shivering in the cold
and living in pain.
That was my mom.
And you're just like her.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
She was bound to find out someday.
If possible,
I never wanted her to find out.
Ji-a is a grown-up.
She can deal with this on her own.
Detective Kang's been helping me
with re-investigating Do Hak-seong.
When you brokered the sale of Green Villa,
someone uploaded the call recording
between Hwang and Do online.
It was you, wasn't it?
Could I listen to the original file?
How can I trust this man?
Someone told me
there's more than meets the eye.
That everything has
its hidden side.
CHANGHWA RESTAURAN
You'll find Ji-a there.
BLUE SAL
Are you the psychic at Daebak Realty?
How did you know?
I made that.
Where is Ms. Hong?
I think she just went
into the bamboo forest.
Wait inside.
She'll return before the sun sets.
I'll go catch her.
He's as good-looking as she said.
-I need to talk to you.
-I have nothing to say.
But I do, so please listen.
I heard everything from Ms. Joo.
It wasn't your fault.
As you said,
if my uncle and I hadn't come that day,
your mother wouldn't have passed away.
So let's not be sorry.
I'm not going to be sorry
for what happened with my uncle anymore,
so don't be sorry
for what happened with your mother.
After all,
I'm still alive.
But my mother is dead.
I
I killed my mom with my own hands.
And that's how you're still alive.
Whenever I see you,
I'm vividly reminded
of the fact that I killed my mother.
So I can't see you anymore.
I'm going home.
I know you're not asleep.
I don't expect you to show your face,
but you should at least say bye.
Darn it.
Do you want to know
how to avoid becoming a vengeful spirit?
Sorry?
When you're thankful,
express your gratitude.
When you've done wrong, apologize.
And show affection to those you love.
Who knows when we'll die?
We shouldn't hesitate or be afraid.
What if you die in a car accident today?
Won't you feel bitter?
Say what you want to or must
if you don't want to turn
into a vengeful spirit.
Wait. Or will that prevent
the other person from becoming one?
I don't know.
BLUE SAL
It's me.
I came
to tell you something for the last time.
You were the one
who saved me 20 years ago.
Thank you.
Also, you were the first person
to tell me that I was special
and that I was a good person.
Thank you for that as well.
Eat your favorite dishes,
watch your favorite shows,
and buy whatever you like.
Try to take your mind off it.
Going for a walk?
Let me join you.
Oh, right.
Did you talk with that handsome psychic
last night?
Gosh, you refused to see him, didn't you?
I told you I was quitting my job.
What's there to talk about with a psychic?
Don't push away someone who likes you.
It's not like that.
What do you mean?
I didn't mean anything romantic.
This is just a piece of life advice.
If you keep pushing people away,
you'll eventually be all alone.
I don't care.
So will you cut ties with Ms. Joo as well?
If you live without anyone around you,
how are you any different
from a vengeful spirit?
I see.
So this is the list from the employment
agency that Tae-jin gave you?
He said he'd let me know
if Chang-hwa ever came back.
One minute.
ANT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
I found it.
ANT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
I'm looking for this man.
His name is Kim Tae-jin.
I don't know him.
Is that so?
All right.
"I don't know him."
I know you know him.
ANT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
What? That's Tae-jin's minion.
I got you.
Someone came here looking for Tae-jin.
-Who was it?
-Beats me.
But I don't think Do Hak-seong sent him.
ANT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
Why are you tailing me?
-To meet Tae-jin.
-What for?
I want to buy the memorandum.
What?
Tell him, and he'll know.
Tell him I want to buy the memorandum
for 135,720,000 won.
-That much?
-Yes.
Your number.
Sorry?
I'll call you after telling him,
so give me your number.
Yes, sir.
BANKBOOK
It may not have been a townhouse,
but I wanted to get her an apartment.
Fine.
I can always make more money.
I should do it for In-beom.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
In-beom.
What about Ms. Hong?
Did she not come with you?
I understand.
Every time she sees me,
she'll be reminded of the painful past
that she desperately wanted to forget.
The only thing I can do for her
is to get out of her sight.
What should we do?
I resent my uncle.
He shouldn't have set the houses on fire.
He shouldn't have taken those lives.
Don't do that.
Do Hak-seong is to blame here.
If it wasn't for him, do you think
your uncle would've done such a thing?
In-beom, let's get that memorandum back
and punish that son of a gun.
I think I will soon.
Did Kim Tae-jin call you?
No, but
I'll tell you once I'm sure.
You trust me, right?
DAEBAK REALTY
Hurry up.
-Hey, go over there.
-Yes, sir.
-You, over there.
-Yes, sir.
-Make sure they stamp it.
-Yes, sir.

Done.
Honey.
Let's
just sell this place and leave.
Just give up.
He would've come already if he wanted to.
It's not that he can't.
He doesn't want to come back.
If you want to leave,
go without me.
I'll keep waiting for our son here.
Even if I turn into a ghost,
I'll wait right here until he returns!

They even cut off the electricity?
Who Who are you?
Are you
Chang-hwa?
You're Chang-hwa, right?
You brat.
Where have you been all this time?
What took you so long?
I have never been able
to sleep soundly because of you, brat.
What
What happened to your leg?
I heard you work at a construction site.
Did you hurt it there?
And why do you look so messy?
Did you eat?
Why not?
You can't even feed yourself?
Wait here.
I have kimchi stew, your favorite.
It won't take long.
Yes, this is Changhwa Restaurant.
Are you Yang Chang-hwa's family?
Yes.
What do you mean, Chang-hwa is dead?
Are you sure it's Chang-hwa?
Yes. This was found in his pocket,
so we called the number. Take a look.
Chang-hwa.
Chang-hwa! No, my boy
No.
Chang-hwa My boy
My boy, Chang-hwa.
BLUE SAL
Are you going home?
I told you. I'm going to travel now.
Sure. Enjoy your trip then.
Come back and tell me about your trip.
Thank you for everything.

Yes, Ms. Joo. It's been a while.
Who died?
Yang Chang-hwa?
FUNERAL HALL
My. You must be in mourning too.
Thank you for coming.
Gosh. Whenever you were at my restaurant,
you always reminded me of my son.
Goodness.
Gosh. Hang in there.
Ms. Hong.
When did you get
Where are you going?
Stay here a bit longer. Ms. Hong
will be uncomfortable if I'm here.
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
I truly thought
what I did was best for you.
But I was arrogant.
Don't bother.
I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
But if you are
blaming yourself for this,
I don't want you to do that.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I'll leave now.

Fine. I'll go out and make money.

Chang-hwa.

Ms. Hong.
Are you in?
Thanks a lot for coming to the funeral.
I haven't been in my right mind,
so I forgot to thank you.
Of course, I should go.
Listen.
I
I don't know if I've gone insane.
But I
I keep seeing my dead son.
I must be seeing things, right?
He didn't become a ghost, did he?
That darned rascal.
Why didn't he come sooner?
He couldn't even die in peace.
I feel so bad for him.
My poor son.
Ms. Hong.
Could you help my son leave in peace?
Please, I ask of you.
Please do that for my poor Chang-hwa.
YANG CHANG-HWA
She'll suffer longer if I waste time
looking for another psychic,
so I called you to do this quickly.
Thanks for calling me.
Let's go.
CHANGHWA RESTAURAN
Did you know him well?
Yes.
We'll begin.
Until it's all over,
keep your eyes closed.
If we do this,
Chang-hwa will leave
this world for good, right?
Yes.
Take your necklace off.
In-beom!
In-beom!
Are you okay?
What happened?
Mom.
This is the same as what happened then.
I
killed my son.
I'm the one who killed him.
It's not the vengeful spirit
that's refusing to leave.
She's keeping him from leaving.
My obsession is the reason
my mom can't leave.
No!
You look so unstable.
How can I leave you alone?
Have I ever told you about my daughter?
Before we see another one
become a vengeful spirit because of him,
someone has to stop Do Hak-seong.
The chairman will die of shock
once he sees this.
I'm on my way to see the chairman.
Where's the memorandum?
Do you know what it means to me?
The In-beom I know
wouldn't give up this easily.
Everything is ready, so take your time.
Chairman Do Hak-seong has been
There's a possibility of murder.
In-beom.
