Chapter 13: The Other Imoogi

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED
Are you better now?
Look at me.
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
This woman is mine.
This woman is mine.
How does it feel
to finally meet the woman you love
as enemies after 600 long years?
What about Ji-ah?
Where's Ji-ah?
In here.
She's in here, with me.
She's screaming, hating her hopeless fate.
Let me ask you something.
What was that jerk…
and what are you?
It's your fault.
If this woman was offered as a sacrifice
into the well on that island,
we would've been one
from the beginning, not two.
Well, when the time is right,
we'll be one again soon.
And when would that be?
The day I go into your body.
Why are you guys so obsessed with my body?
Why don't you two just team up
and live happily together?
Didn't you see how fast it grew?
Then could it mean that
you also age as fast as you grew?
So that must be your curse.
I had one chance to change my fate.
If you became a dragon?
Then the mountain god
of the Baekdudaegan Mountains
would've been me, not you.
So it was revenge.
That's why you were obsessed with me
out of all the ones with immortal bodies.
For your information, since I'm out,
your woman will be gone soon.
I'm going to kill you.
If you kill me, your woman will die.
And if you save your woman,
you will die, Lee Yeon.
Who will you save? Her or yourself?
Sadly,
none of those options are what we want.
No matter what you blabber on about,
you can't do anything to this body.
You're weak.
What?
Do you grow weak when you're in this body?
Most of the powers and skills
are with that Imoogi.
And you're like its heart.
That's why you need Ji-ah as a shield.
So your weakness wouldn't get caught.
You guys can't change fate.
I just need you gone.
Just you.
I only need you, Ji-ah.
Just give me your body and die, will you?
Ji-ah.
Can you hear me?
Are you there?
Shut up.
Come back.
I'll be waiting for you, always.
Come back, Ji-ah.
I'll always be waiting for you.
I've been waiting for you, too.
I don't know about anything else,
but I'm an expert at waiting.
I can sit here for not only 24 hours,
but also 24 years if I must.
I thought I could meet you
if I waited here.
I'll be by your side.
I'm yours, till the day I die.
Lee Yeon.
Yes, it's me. I'm right here.
Help me, Lee Yeon.
Kill me.
So I won't harm you.
It's okay, it's okay.
Everything's going to be okay.
CHAPTER 13: ANOTHER IMOOGI
Dr. Koo.
Thank you for today. You saved us.
Don't thank me. Thank Lord Lee Yeon.
And please be careful, you two.
Lord Lee Yeon!
I'll be there soon.
Lee Yeon or the Imoogi or whatever.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I just need the ground cherries.
Just the ground cherries!
Hey.
Come on,
you shouldn't drive so aggressively.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm Clothes-hanging Old Man.
I got a report and I'm here
to collect the ground cherries.
Who sent you?
The Imoogi? Or Lee Yeon?
Does that even matter?
This isn't yours, after all.
Shut up!
The ground cherries are mine!
They're mine!
Ow, that hurts.
I hate the smell of gunpowder.
Now look here.
You shouldn't defy
your life span like that.
What-- What the heck?
Are you a monster too?
Good grief.
Looks like
we'll be meeting again very soon, huh?
Lord Lee Yeon.
SHIN-JU'S ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Are you sure she's Producer Nam right now?
But we don't know when she'll change
and attack you again, right?
I got stabbed on purpose.
What?
I wanted to check something.
The Imoogi being split into two
may be a strength…
but it can also be
its critical weakness too.
What does that mean?
The Imoogi in Ji-ah's body
is a bit different
from the one we've been seeing.
They're the same Imoogi,
but they're different?
This one's closer to the Imoogi
from the past life.
What should I do?
Go to the Water Snail Bride right now
and locate the fortune teller.
You mean the old man
who ran away with your Fox Marble?
Shall we turn them back to humans?
Check the List of Life Spans,
and only turn back
the ones who have life span left.
If they all come out at once,
it'll be tiring.
Okay.
Now, let's eat first.
Honey, want me to buy you tteokbokki?
With fried rolls and soondae.
Add cheese.
Okay, add mozzarella cheese.
Spiciness level three for you,
level one for me.
LIST OF LIFE SPANS - A LIST OF
RECORDS OF HUMANS' LIFE SPANS
Calamity will begin
if we don't stop it now.
LIST OF LIFE SPANS
NAME: NAM JI-AH
Even so, I still choose her.
NAME: NAM JI-AH - DATE OF BIRTH:
MARCH 3, 1991, LUNAR
DATE OF DEATH: 2020
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
It was my hand.
I stabbed you and harmed you with my hand.
I know better than anyone
that it wasn't you.
Look at me, okay?
How do you feel? Are you okay?
Why are you worrying about me
even when you're like this?
Want me to buy you coffee?
Or chicken feet?
No.
Want me to take you home?
I can't go home.
If I change again, like earlier,
and harm my mom and dad,
I might really lose my mind.
Then want to go somewhere?
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go somewhere we can be alone,
just the two of us.
Don't worry about your parents.
I told Shin-ju to keep an eye on them.
Thank you.
By the way, where are we going?
Anywhere.
Remember when we first met?
When you were a kid?
No.
Of course I remember.
My lifelong job was to catch others,
but you were the first person to ever come
to catch me so savagely.
I should've just asked you out savagely
back then.
Then we would've had more time
to be happy together
without knowing anything.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Going somewhere?
Please forgive me.
I must've lost my mind for a moment.
I was blinded by ground cherries!
I'm crazy!
Lift your head.
You were born as a slave
in a straw hut with crawling bedbugs,
yet you've come so far.
It's all thanks to you.
I also saved you right when
you were about to be executed as a rebel.
How could I ever forget such kindness?
Then why did you team up with Lee Yeon?
I heard you told all kinds of things
to Lee Yeon.
Please spare me.
If you would give me one more chance--
No need to do that.
Now, I don't need
anyone or anything anymore.
There's been a change of plans.
What?
I wish life was like hell…
for everyone living and breathing.
Turn yourself in.
Being a criminal suits you the best.
Want to play a game?
What game?
Like you said,
we'll act like we know nothing.
For example?
You're an ordinary human,
who's not happy about
a boring, heartwarming daily life.
And I
am not a nine-tailed fox.
Do we know each other?
We are…
a married couple. A married couple.
A very ordinary married couple.
You go to work, like always,
and I fix dinner and wait for you.
How about it?
Am I the breadwinner?
I own lots of real estate,
and have tons of cash.
I just want to collect rent every month
and be a homemaker.
Don't laugh.
Be serious.
Then what should I do?
Wait.
Hold on.
Yeah, come home from work now.
Come home. Come home.
This is so dumb.
I'm home.
Honey.
"Honey, I'm home"?
Oh, my puppy, are you upset?
Why are you upset?
Look at the time!
All you ever say is that
a woman can come home late
if she works and makes money.
You're supposed to come home by 12:00,
aren't you?
Did you promise me, or not?
-There's a curfew in the game?
-Yeah.
You didn't keep curfew
twice last month either.
Do our promises mean nothing to you?
Right, I did that.
Forgive me this once, huh?
This won't do. Honey, sit there.
Sit there. We need to talk.
Honey, did you forget
you were in rehab for alcoholism?
Me?
So you're going all out
with the game, huh?
You've changed these days.
Do you even love me?
I love you.
Me too.
Then let's make up, okay?
Of course.
Our fights never last
more than five minutes.
This is unfair.
Why can't we even have
an ordinary life like this?
This is just so unfair.
If I lived in a world
where you were human…
and we were really married,
and the Imoogi didn't exist…
If I met you like that…
it would've been wonderful.
I'll protect you.
At the end of this fight,
you must survive,
no matter what happens.
That's all I need.
Even if I'm reborn so many times,
the world is surrounded by darkness.
Lee Yeon, I'll show it to you.
The view from the end of the world,
which I live in.
INCOMING CALL
TERRY
Hello?
The party will begin soon.
I'm not going to be
so kind to you anymore.
Look forward to it.
I pity you.
You've never learned how to love someone
or how to be loved by someone.
You only know
how to threaten people like this.
Like you said, this is a threat.
Your body will be a time bomb from now on.
Look at yourself.
Soon it will completely
take over your body.
When that time comes,
you will kill Lee Yeon
with your own hands.
Are you nuts?
Why are you peeping at my computer?
What are you planning to do?
Why are you trying to meddle with
her List of Life Spans?
She's the real one.
The real Imoogi.
What does that mean?
The thing that's inside her
is the true body of the Imoogi.
We must catch that thing
to catch the one causing a mess outside.
You're going to sacrifice
an innocent child
just to catch the Imoogi?
Even when you know what she means to Yeon?
I know well.
-I know better than anyone else.
-Then how can you do that?
I'm trying to do it myself
because I know that.
Yeon will never let her die.
The Imoogi knows that too.
What do you think will happen
if that thing takes over
Yeon's body as well?
So you're going to kill a human
for something that didn't happen yet?
What are you trying to protect
by going that far?
This is my job!
For that very same reason,
our son lost his bride,
and we lost our son.
You revised her List of Life Spans
back then too.
Thanks to that,
my son, who killed himself--
We still haven't retrieved his soul.
Thanks to that, we stopped the plague.
Our Bok-gil can't even be reincarnated
because of that!
That…
was his fate.
You know,
I thought you changed a little
after losing our child like that.
But you haven't changed at all.
An even bigger calamity will come.
If we don't stop it now--
Yeah, you stop the calamity.
I'm going to stop you.
What are you saying?
The moment you change her date of death,
our relationship is over.
"I'm writing this
as I'm watching you sleep.
I decided to go back to Seoul.
After spending the night here,
I came to the following conclusion…
that I can't run away from it,
no matter how far I run."
I'm by the beach.
Let's walk together.
Let's walk to the end of this beach
together and go back.
I am so small and insignificant,
so the weight of my fate feels very heavy,
and I feel like I'd sink
deep into the bottom of the ocean.
But Lee Yeon, you push me up
like buoyancy,
and keep me afloat.
You stop me from sinking.
I promised her that I'd help her
live a boring yet heartwarming daily life,
that feels like a gift,
just like everyone else…
but she said this to me at the beach.
That she doesn't want to be alone.
That whether she dies or survives,
she wants to do it with me by her side.
Perhaps…
I might not be able to keep that promise.
Save Lord Lee Rang.
I did everything I can,
but nothing worked.
Why should I?
Why should I do you a favor?
Because of you,
I stabbed Lord Lee Rang and got framed!
You should take responsibility too.
Just what do you think I am?
The manager of the ground cherry factory.
You don't scare me.
You do mean it.
But if you summoned me to make a deal,
shouldn't I get something in return too?
It looks like you have nothing to give me.
And this half fox
is totally useless to me now.
Take my life and save Lord Lee Rang.
Are you okay with that?
Wait.
Lord Lee Rang.
Yoo-ri is going to die,
but please live a long life.
Don't skip meals and gain some weight.
And stop following your brother around.
Just
be happy, just a little more.
Kill me.
Stop taking your time!
That's more frustrating!
Open your eyes.
I will grant your wish.
But instead…
you're coming with me.
When the Imoogi inside her calls,
you will be my soldier.
If you stay in a place like that
for a long time,
you will be eaten by the darkness.
How can I help you?
I'm turning myself in.
What?
I'm here to turn myself in.
I killed her.
Killed who?
The mummified corpse
at a construction area in Geumran-gu.
Is that true?
There are four more.
If you check my car's navigation history,
you'll be able to find
where the other bodies are buried.
-Hey, go check it.
-Yes, sir.
What's your motive?
You're a CEO
of a broadcasting station, but why?
I just wanted to live long.
You, Detective,
would have made the same choice
if you were in my shoes.
Want me to go with you?
No.
I want to see my mom and dad clearly.
If anything were to happen to me--
Nothing will happen to you.
But, if that's how you feel,
go ahead and do so.
Don't worry.
That thing only comes out
when it feels somewhat threatened.
Like, seeing blood.
Speaking of which…
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
The scales are growing bigger.
I may not have much time left
for me to stay as myself.
I need to go see the Water Snail Bride.
Bring my part-timers
and come to my house later.
You mean Ms. Kim and Jae-hwan?
What about Yoo-ri? Where's Yoo-ri?
She left, with a scary man.
The old lady isn't coming back anymore.
What about the fortune teller?
Did you find him?
I'm trying to track him down
through my customers.
He didn't seem like
a native low-class god.
What does that old man do?
This just sounds like a false rumor,
but they say one of
the Ten Lords of the World of the Dead
occasionally disappears
without telling anyone.
Interesting.
Anyway, tell me as soon as
you hear news of that old man.
-Here.
-What is this?
What's all this?
I've been getting paid all this time,
but I never got to buy
underclothes for you two.
That's been making me feel bad
all this time.
You must be busy.
When did you have the time to buy these?
Wow, it's pretty, huh?
It's so pretty, huh?
Try them on.
I can't bring myself to wear it.
These were bought with money
my daughter made by working hard,
so the right thing to do
is to wear it nicely.
Go ahead and try it on.
Shall I?
This isn't the way to my house.
Give me five minutes.
Is it delicious?
Yoo-ri!
What brings you to the hospital
at this hour?
-What's this, all of a sudden?
-It's a goodbye.
We're breaking up.
What does that mean?
Koo Shin-ju, you just got dumped.
So don't wait for me anymore.
-Don't come looking for me either.
-Why?
Did I do something wrong?
I just don't like you anymore.
I'm the kind of fox
who gets sick of things easily.
No.
You're not that kind of a fox.
It just takes some time,
but once you open your heart,
you care for someone forever,
and you act like you're mean,
but you're soft-hearted and kind.
-What do you know about me?
-I know.
Just by seeing how you treat Lord Lee Rang
and the puppy--
Stop acting nice, please!
I can't stand you lecturing me,
saying that I need
a friend or family or whatever,
and your damn tacky looks,
and that smiling face.
I hate everything about you.
I won't lecture anymore.
I'll wear the clothes you pick for me.
And I'll stop smiling
if you tell me not to.
Please stop it!
I hate you! I hate you!
You're lying.
You, too. Stop being so clingy.
Bye.
I can never break up with you.
Let go!
No, I won't let go.
Not until you cancel our breakup. Never.
Koo Shin-ju.
If you do this,
I'm going to be put off by you even more.
I'm sorry.
Whatever it is, it's all my fault, so--
Don't follow me.
Just get out of my life, please.
She said I pretend to be nice.
She said she hates my face,
and I dress in tacky clothes.
Well, after hearing about it,
she's not completely wrong, but--
That ground cherry thief
is a total gangster!
Is she playing with you or what?
Don't criticize Yoo-ri.
Please.
Stop crying.
She was my first and last love.
I was going to propose to her too.
I went to Jongno yesterday
and bought a gold ring.
But this happened.
I'm sure she had a reason
to break up with you so suddenly.
I can't figure it out.
It's the Imoogi. The Imoogi took her.
Lord Lee Rang!
Rang!
What are you doing?
You're awake! You're back!
Cut it out. This isn't like you.
You're going to make me want to die again.
How did you wake up?
What do you mean, the Imoogi took her?
Yoo-ri went with that jerk
in exchange of saving my life.
Soo-oh saw it.
No, we must get Yoo-ri back.
-You can't get her back like this.
-What if it kills her in the meantime?
Let go!
Are you trying to get us killed
all at once, you idiot?
I hit him, because I thought
you wouldn't be able to do it.
I promise.
I will save your girlfriend
and bring her back alive.
I'm going to kill that Imoogi.
Leave that thing to me.
It tried to kill me twice.
Speaking of which, where's Soo-oh?
Is he home alone, by any chance?
He is home alone, of course.
How could you leave a kid alone at home?
Even if you try to drag him out,
he won't budge.
Everyone's here.
Including someone
I'm not very happy to see.
Who are all these jerks?
My part-timers.
What are you looking at?
You're as handsome as he is,
so I can totally tell.
You're not human, are you?
Don't talk to me.
If you do, I'll bite you.
I knew it.
Three humans and two foxes.
Dr. Koo, what are you?
It's three humans and three foxes.
Looks like we're done with
self-introductions, so let's begin.
You said it's a battle plan meeting.
Why are you here?
Because I've dealt with the Imoogi
more than you have.
And you're also growing one
inside your body.
Leave her out of this.
What if it eavesdrops
from inside her body?
No, we need Ji-ah for this plan.
If you have a problem with that, get out.
Everyone here has met the Imoogi
at least once.
We've all had our lives threatened
in different ways,
and it's taken a hostage too.
Plus, there isn't just one of that thing.
There are two of them.
We must catch both to end this fight.
And…
And…
this one here is the main body.
Hey, Imoogi's nest.
Why don't you just pass away
and stop bothering everyone?
Why didn't you
just keep lying in bed at home?
You made a great Sleeping Beauty.
The Imoogi can't die
from physical attacks, like stabs or cuts.
It can control minds too.
Only Ji-ah and I are free from it.
It may be very difficult,
but try not to run into it one-on-one.
But how can we fight it without facing it?
What can you do even if you face it?
You might just scream for help
and that would be it.
-I'm warning you.
-"I'm warning you."
What's that jerk Terry trying to do
by going that far?
It said it'll kill everyone.
After that?
After that,
the plague will strike the world.
So no one would dare to be happy.
The plague?
Lord Lee Rang,
please stop playing that game.
I'm listening.
Don't blabber on about it.
Just get to the point.
I've only been trying to
fight the Imoogi we know,
because I was afraid that
Ji-ah might get hurt.
But from now on…
we change the target.
How are we going to kill the thing
inside her body?
Did you find a way?
I did.
WATER SNAIL BRIDE
KOREAN RESTAURAN
Remember the fortune teller we met
at the Folk Village?
Of course I remember.
We lost the Fox Marble, thanks to someone.
There's a rumor about him being
a big figure. Is that true?
He's one of the Ten Lords
of the World of the Dead.
What?
He has the Clothes Hanger Sword too.
No way.
What's the Clothes Hanger Sword?
It's the sword that cuts the sin.
Cuts the sin?
A long time ago, the King of the Dead
picked a branch off a Clothes Hanger Tree,
which weighs sin,
and made it into a sword himself.
But didn't it disappear from the world
thousands of years ago?
The Water Snail Bride
picked it up just now.
But if you cut Producer Nam with it,
she'll get hurt.
She won't.
The Clothes Hanger Sword
is a wooden sword.
It cuts things
that cannot actually be cut.
In other words,
it'll only cut the Imoogi's soul.
Oh, that's a relief, Ji-ah.
When are we going to do it?
Tomorrow.
How does it feel to be born again?
Is it because I almost died?
The coffee tastes especially good.
Live long, you dummy.
If you die, you can't drink this coffee
you love, and it'd be so unfair.
Were you scared? That I might die?
Yeah, I was.
What's yours? Let me taste it.
It's good.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Because it's my first time
coming to a café with you.
All I had to do was to reach out.
Why was I like that all this time?
What the heck? Are you dying or something?
It's really good.
It tastes like a rainbow, doesn't it?
Let me taste yours too.
No, not mine.
You ungrateful brat.
Don't put your mouth on it!
What's this?
It's nothing.
Did that woman do it?
No, she didn't.
You're defending her, so it must be her.
That Clothes Hanger Sword or whatever,
would it really work on that jerk?
It's been 600 long years.
I want to put an end
to this tiresome fight.
What if you fail?
What would happen to you if you fail?
Rang.
That's why I need you.
I've been struggling all my life.
One more step,
and I could've been at the top of Korea.
Damn it.
But I ended up in this tiny cell.
Still, I survived.
I'm alive.
Get some of these too.
How can you crave tteokbokki
at a time like this?
Even if the world ends tomorrow,
I have to eat tteokbokki.
What are you saying?
Hey, get some more of those!
-Are you going to eat cheese balls?
-Yeah, lots.
We'd like to add extra cheese balls.
Okay.
It's hot.
Wow, this is delicious.
-I think this tastes the best.
-This?
Wow, how can this be delicious
even in this situation?
-This?
-Yes.
Let me see.
Don't come see me for a while.
You could be in danger if you're with me.
I don't care.
You guys almost got killed.
Remember?
When my mom came to Seoul
for a herniated disc surgery.
She had a show that day,
so she couldn't go to the hospital
and cried so much.
You went to the hospital for me,
didn't you?
You protected my mom.
If I left my mom alone at that time,
I would've been even more heartbroken
when my mom died.
-Let us help you too.
-That's right.
We're ordinary humans,
so we may not have powers,
but if it's about saving you,
I want to help as much as I can.
For now, going back to work
is the way for you to help me.
Mr. Choi would be furious
if all three of us are absent.
Mr. Choi isn't at work.
What?
He turned himself in?
There's no way the Imoogi
would just let him go like that.
Please find out about
what's going on at the police station.
Okay.
Your call cannot be completed as dialed…
Mr. Choi isn't answering.
-Hey, call 911! Now!
-Okay.
Hello? Is this 911?
This is Geumran Police Station.
I-- I-- I will--
Please open his airway.
Water Snail Bride.
We need to move up our plan.
It started to make its move.
We don't have much time left.
Today,
we catch the Imoogi inside Ji-ah first.
From here on, nothing can go wrong.
All right, I got it, so out with it.
The plan is simple.
Ji-ah will bleed first
to bring the Imoogi out.
When it comes out,
I'll cut it with the Clothes Hanger Sword.
Shin-ju, when Ji-ah and I go in the room,
lock the door from outside.
No one should come near us
until I send a signal.
-Why?
-If that thing runs away from Ji-ah…
you guys will be in danger.
Or it might go into your bodies.
That's why I made a barrier
with horse blood.
This Imoogi is different from
the one we've seen so far.
As of now, we don't know
what it looks like or where it'll go.
Absolutely no mistakes are allowed.
What if that thing goes into your body?
That will never happen
while I'm conscious.
Shin-ju.
It's a serpent.
I brought an animal
that suits that jerk the best.
So, you're saying if you cut it at once,
that'd be the best.
Even if it runs away,
that serpent would be
the only body it'll have, right?
Let's go.
I want to get rid of it
as soon as possible.
Here's the sword.
Well done. You can go now.
Please be careful.
Well, then.
Shall we begin?
Before that, Lee Yeon,
tie me to the chair with this.
I might harm you again.
You don't need to do all that.
Listen to me, okay?
Why do you keep trying to protect me?
I got a bad feeling about this.
Don't say that. It may bring bad omen.
I'm going to tie you up then.
Okay.
Lee Yeon.
Can you please give me a hug?
Don't hesitate because of me.
Don't be nervous.
This is a wooden sword
without a sharp blade.
I'm prepared for any possible injuries.
Why would I let you get hurt?
And this sword can only cut
what cannot be cut,
like the Imoogi's soul.
Then can it cut your soul too?
Of course it can.
By the way…
Yeah?
…since a while ago…
who are you?
It's your soul
that's going to disappear.
-No!
-Move!
If something happens to Lee Yeon,
I'll kill that woman!
You can't go in.
If you want to go in, attack me first.
You think I won't be able to?
Damn it.
You pathetic idiot.
I didn't think
you'd get the Clothes Hanger Sword.
Hey.
Are you pretending to be asleep?
What?
Has your soul really disappeared?
It was going to turn out like this anyway.
Here's the old house.
Now give me the new house.
House prices these days are crazy high.
Look at you, you thief.
-What?
-What do you mean, what?
I wanted to check this.
So, you use this scale to transfer, huh?
That fortune teller
hasn't been seen since the Folk Village.
Even the god of the Stream of the Dead
with the thousand-mile-eyes can't see him.
Damn it.
What should we do now?
You go out now
and get any wooden sword for me.
Wooden sword?
What are you going to do
with a sword that can't cut?
I'm going to try to cut
something that cannot be cut.
Now, let's have a different kind of fun.
Stop the car.
Then this sword was…
We bought it at a flea market
in Cheonggyecheon. It's $10.
That damn fortune teller
only shows himself
when he wants to, where he wants to.
You damn gangster!
Hey, look who's talking.
What's with
that terrible impersonation of Ji-ah?
-Did you know it was me?
-That disgusting smell.
Something's smelled like blood
since I came here.
I have a great sense of smell, you know.
Anyway, thanks for your donation.
Do you think obtaining my scale
would turn the tables right away?
Even if you plant it into something else,
I will find this woman again
and get into her body.
Until you surrender and give me your body.
So you're saying
this thing can transfer you.
For example,
how about that serpent?
Try it if you dare.
Go ahead.
You're not thinking
that I'll give this body back so easily
when I'm being dragged out
against my will, are you?
Yeah.
To be honest,
I prefer you over that other Imoogi.
A villain should be able to
go this berserk at least.
Romance? For a damn Imoogi?
That's nonsense.
This woman is no more than
a hostage for me.
I'm sure that jerk is interested in Ji-ah
more than completing your body.
That jerk is just a crumble of my body.
It seems like he thinks differently.
Do you think this will make me
go estranged from that guy?
Wake up.
Do you even know
what that jerk is plotting right now?
You see, that jerk is…
I swear, those jerks…

Innocent lives are dying.
If we let it be,
the world will be in chaos soon.
No, you're wrong.
That's just who you are.
From the beginning.
-Honey.
-Don't call me that.
I just decided
to quit being your husband.
Don't be ridiculous.
Who said you can do that?
Stop right there!
Can't you hear me?
One step out that door,
and you will lose everything.
I will make that happen!
Hey, are you okay?
Lee Yeon.
Yes, it's me.
Let's hurry.
So I can at least stay as myself
at the last moment.
So I can be with you.
Let's end this.
This tiring fight.
Let's end it.

NAME: NAM JI-AH
DATE OF DEATH: TODAY
TALE OF THE NINE TAILED
Just give me three days.
-I can catch it! I can catch the Imoogi!
-It's too late.
You will regret this.
If it weren't for me,
Lee Yeon would still be living
as a mountain god, right?
I'm sure Lee Yeon won't forgive me.
I might regret liking you
for the first time.
I can destroy everything you cherish.
Let's do it together.
Strike the god of the Stream of the Dead.
The condition?
Let Ji-ah go.
TALE OF THE NINE TAILED
Are you better now?
Look at me.
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
This woman is mine.
This woman is mine.
How does it feel
to finally meet the woman you love
as enemies after 600 long years?
What about Ji-ah?
Where's Ji-ah?
In here.
She's in here, with me.
She's screaming, hating her hopeless fate.
Let me ask you something.
What was that jerk…
and what are you?
It's your fault.
If this woman was offered as a sacrifice
into the well on that island,
we would've been one
from the beginning, not two.
Well, when the time is right,
we'll be one again soon.
And when would that be?
The day I go into your body.
Why are you guys so obsessed with my body?
Why don't you two just team up
and live happily together?
Didn't you see how fast it grew?
Then could it mean that
you also age as fast as you grew?
So that must be your curse.
I had one chance to change my fate.
If you became a dragon?
Then the mountain god
of the Baekdudaegan Mountains
would've been me, not you.
So it was revenge.
That's why you were obsessed with me
out of all the ones with immortal bodies.
For your information, since I'm out,
your woman will be gone soon.
I'm going to kill you.
If you kill me, your woman will die.
And if you save your woman,
you will die, Lee Yeon.
Who will you save? Her or yourself?
Sadly,
none of those options are what we want.
No matter what you blabber on about,
you can't do anything to this body.
You're weak.
What?
Do you grow weak when you're in this body?
Most of the powers and skills
are with that Imoogi.
And you're like its heart.
That's why you need Ji-ah as a shield.
So your weakness wouldn't get caught.
You guys can't change fate.
I just need you gone.
Just you.
I only need you, Ji-ah.
Just give me your body and die, will you?
Ji-ah.
Can you hear me?
Are you there?
Shut up.
Come back.
I'll be waiting for you, always.
Come back, Ji-ah.
I'll always be waiting for you.
I've been waiting for you, too.
I don't know about anything else,
but I'm an expert at waiting.
I can sit here for not only 24 hours,
but also 24 years if I must.
I thought I could meet you
if I waited here.
I'll be by your side.
I'm yours, till the day I die.
Lee Yeon.
Yes, it's me. I'm right here.
Help me, Lee Yeon.
Kill me.
So I won't harm you.
It's okay, it's okay.
Everything's going to be okay.
CHAPTER 13: ANOTHER IMOOGI
Dr. Koo.
Thank you for today. You saved us.
Don't thank me. Thank Lord Lee Yeon.
And please be careful, you two.
Lord Lee Yeon!
I'll be there soon.
Lee Yeon or the Imoogi or whatever.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I just need the ground cherries.
Just the ground cherries!
Hey.
Come on,
you shouldn't drive so aggressively.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm Clothes-hanging Old Man.
I got a report and I'm here
to collect the ground cherries.
Who sent you?
The Imoogi? Or Lee Yeon?
Does that even matter?
This isn't yours, after all.
Shut up!
The ground cherries are mine!
They're mine!
Ow, that hurts.
I hate the smell of gunpowder.
Now look here.
You shouldn't defy
your life span like that.
What-- What the heck?
Are you a monster too?
Good grief.
Looks like
we'll be meeting again very soon, huh?
Lord Lee Yeon.
SHIN-JU'S ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Are you sure she's Producer Nam right now?
But we don't know when she'll change
and attack you again, right?
I got stabbed on purpose.
What?
I wanted to check something.
The Imoogi being split into two
may be a strength…
but it can also be
its critical weakness too.
What does that mean?
The Imoogi in Ji-ah's body
is a bit different
from the one we've been seeing.
They're the same Imoogi,
but they're different?
This one's closer to the Imoogi
from the past life.
What should I do?
Go to the Water Snail Bride right now
and locate the fortune teller.
You mean the old man
who ran away with your Fox Marble?
Shall we turn them back to humans?
Check the List of Life Spans,
and only turn back
the ones who have life span left.
If they all come out at once,
it'll be tiring.
Okay.
Now, let's eat first.
Honey, want me to buy you tteokbokki?
With fried rolls and soondae.
Add cheese.
Okay, add mozzarella cheese.
Spiciness level three for you,
level one for me.
LIST OF LIFE SPANS - A LIST OF
RECORDS OF HUMANS' LIFE SPANS

DATE OF DEATH: 2020
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
It was my hand.
I stabbed you and harmed you with my hand.
I know better than anyone
that it wasn't you.
Look at me, okay?
How do you feel? Are you okay?
Why are you worrying about me
even when you're like this?
Want me to buy you coffee?
Or chicken feet?
No.
Want me to take you home?
I can't go home.
If I change again, like earlier,
and harm my mom and dad,
I might really lose my mind.
Then want to go somewhere?
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go somewhere we can be alone,
just the two of us.
Don't worry about your parents.
I told Shin-ju to keep an eye on them.
Thank you.
By the way, where are we going?
Anywhere.
Remember when we first met?
When you were a kid?
No.
Of course I remember.
My lifelong job was to catch others,
but you were the first person to ever come
to catch me so savagely.
I should've just asked you out savagely
back then.
Then we would've had more time
to be happy together
without knowing anything.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Going somewhere?
Please forgive me.
I must've lost my mind for a moment.
I was blinded by ground cherries!
I'm crazy!
Lift your head.
You were born as a slave
in a straw hut with crawling bedbugs,
yet you've come so far.
It's all thanks to you.
I also saved you right when
you were about to be executed as a rebel.
How could I ever forget such kindness?
Then why did you team up with Lee Yeon?
I heard you told all kinds of things
to Lee Yeon.
Please spare me.
If you would give me one more chance--
No need to do that.
Now, I don't need
anyone or anything anymore.
There's been a change of plans.
What?
I wish life was like hell…
for everyone living and breathing.
Turn yourself in.
Being a criminal suits you the best.
Want to play a game?
What game?
Like you said,
we'll act like we know nothing.
For example?
You're an ordinary human,
who's not happy about
a boring, heartwarming daily life.
And I
am not a nine-tailed fox.
Do we know each other?
We are…
a married couple. A married couple.
A very ordinary married couple.
You go to work, like always,
and I fix dinner and wait for you.
How about it?
Am I the breadwinner?
I own lots of real estate,
and have tons of cash.
I just want to collect rent every month
and be a homemaker.
Don't laugh.
Be serious.
Then what should I do?
Wait.
Hold on.
Yeah, come home from work now.
Come home. Come home.
This is so dumb.
I'm home.
Honey.
"Honey, I'm home"?
Oh, my puppy, are you upset?
Why are you upset?
Look at the time!
All you ever say is that
a woman can come home late
if she works and makes money.
You're supposed to come home by 12:00,
aren't you?
Did you promise me, or not?
-There's a curfew in the game?
-Yeah.
You didn't keep curfew
twice last month either.
Do our promises mean nothing to you?
Right, I did that.
Forgive me this once, huh?
This won't do. Honey, sit there.
Sit there. We need to talk.
Honey, did you forget
you were in rehab for alcoholism?
Me?
So you're going all out
with the game, huh?
You've changed these days.
Do you even love me?
I love you.
Me too.
Then let's make up, okay?
Of course.
Our fights never last
more than five minutes.
This is unfair.
Why can't we even have
an ordinary life like this?
This is just so unfair.
If I lived in a world
where you were human…
and we were really married,
and the Imoogi didn't exist…
If I met you like that…
it would've been wonderful.
I'll protect you.
At the end of this fight,
you must survive,
no matter what happens.
That's all I need.
Even if I'm reborn so many times,
the world is surrounded by darkness.
Lee Yeon, I'll show it to you.
The view from the end of the world,
which I live in.
INCOMING CALL
TERRY
Hello?
The party will begin soon.
I'm not going to be
so kind to you anymore.
Look forward to it.
I pity you.
You've never learned how to love someone
or how to be loved by someone.
You only know
how to threaten people like this.
Like you said, this is a threat.
Your body will be a time bomb from now on.
Look at yourself.
Soon it will completely
take over your body.
When that time comes,
you will kill Lee Yeon
with your own hands.
Are you nuts?
Why are you peeping at my computer?
What are you planning to do?
Why are you trying to meddle with
her List of Life Spans?
She's the real one.
The real Imoogi.
What does that mean?
The thing that's inside her
is the true body of the Imoogi.
We must catch that thing
to catch the one causing a mess outside.
You're going to sacrifice
an innocent child
just to catch the Imoogi?
Even when you know what she means to Yeon?
I know well.
-I know better than anyone else.
-Then how can you do that?
I'm trying to do it myself
because I know that.
Yeon will never let her die.
The Imoogi knows that too.
What do you think will happen
if that thing takes over
Yeon's body as well?
So you're going to kill a human
for something that didn't happen yet?
What are you trying to protect
by going that far?
This is my job!
For that very same reason,
our son lost his bride,
and we lost our son.
You revised her List of Life Spans
back then too.
Thanks to that,
my son, who killed himself--
We still haven't retrieved his soul.
Thanks to that, we stopped the plague.
Our Bok-gil can't even be reincarnated
because of that!
That…
was his fate.
You know,
I thought you changed a little
after losing our child like that.
But you haven't changed at all.
An even bigger calamity will come.
If we don't stop it now--
Yeah, you stop the calamity.
I'm going to stop you.
What are you saying?
The moment you change her date of death,
our relationship is over.
"I'm writing this
as I'm watching you sleep.
I decided to go back to Seoul.
After spending the night here,
I came to the following conclusion…
that I can't run away from it,
no matter how far I run."
I'm by the beach.
Let's walk together.
Let's walk to the end of this beach
together and go back.
I am so small and insignificant,
so the weight of my fate feels very heavy,
and I feel like I'd sink
deep into the bottom of the ocean.
But Lee Yeon, you push me up
like buoyancy,
and keep me afloat.
You stop me from sinking.
I promised her that I'd help her
live a boring yet heartwarming daily life,
that feels like a gift,
just like everyone else…
but she said this to me at the beach.
That she doesn't want to be alone.
That whether she dies or survives,
she wants to do it with me by her side.
Perhaps…
I might not be able to keep that promise.
Save Lord Lee Rang.
I did everything I can,
but nothing worked.
Why should I?
Why should I do you a favor?
Because of you,
I stabbed Lord Lee Rang and got framed!
You should take responsibility too.
Just what do you think I am?
The manager of the ground cherry factory.
You don't scare me.
You do mean it.
But if you summoned me to make a deal,
shouldn't I get something in return too?
It looks like you have nothing to give me.
And this half fox
is totally useless to me now.
Take my life and save Lord Lee Rang.
Are you okay with that?
Wait.
Lord Lee Rang.
Yoo-ri is going to die,
but please live a long life.
Don't skip meals and gain some weight.
And stop following your brother around.
Just
be happy, just a little more.
Kill me.
Stop taking your time!
That's more frustrating!
Open your eyes.
I will grant your wish.
But instead…
you're coming with me.
When the Imoogi inside her calls,
you will be my soldier.
If you stay in a place like that
for a long time,
you will be eaten by the darkness.
How can I help you?
I'm turning myself in.
What?
I'm here to turn myself in.
I killed her.
Killed who?
The mummified corpse
at a construction area in Geumran-gu.
Is that true?
There are four more.
If you check my car's navigation history,
you'll be able to find
where the other bodies are buried.
-Hey, go check it.
-Yes, sir.
What's your motive?
You're a CEO
of a broadcasting station, but why?
I just wanted to live long.
You, Detective,
would have made the same choice
if you were in my shoes.
Want me to go with you?
No.
I want to see my mom and dad clearly.
If anything were to happen to me--
Nothing will happen to you.
But, if that's how you feel,
go ahead and do so.
Don't worry.
That thing only comes out
when it feels somewhat threatened.
Like, seeing blood.
Speaking of which…
Long time no see, Lee Yeon.
The scales are growing bigger.
I may not have much time left
for me to stay as myself.
I need to go see the Water Snail Bride.
Bring my part-timers
and come to my house later.
You mean Ms. Kim and Jae-hwan?
What about Yoo-ri? Where's Yoo-ri?
She left, with a scary man.
The old lady isn't coming back anymore.
What about the fortune teller?
Did you find him?
I'm trying to track him down
through my customers.
He didn't seem like
a native low-class god.
What does that old man do?
This just sounds like a false rumor,
but they say one of
the Ten Lords of the World of the Dead
occasionally disappears
without telling anyone.
Interesting.
Anyway, tell me as soon as
you hear news of that old man.
-Here.
-What is this?
What's all this?
I've been getting paid all this time,
but I never got to buy
underclothes for you two.
That's been making me feel bad
all this time.
You must be busy.
When did you have the time to buy these?
Wow, it's pretty, huh?
It's so pretty, huh?
Try them on.
I can't bring myself to wear it.
These were bought with money
my daughter made by working hard,
so the right thing to do
is to wear it nicely.
Go ahead and try it on.
Shall I?
This isn't the way to my house.
Give me five minutes.
Is it delicious?
Yoo-ri!
What brings you to the hospital
at this hour?
-What's this, all of a sudden?
-It's a goodbye.
We're breaking up.
What does that mean?
Koo Shin-ju, you just got dumped.
So don't wait for me anymore.
-Don't come looking for me either.
-Why?
Did I do something wrong?
I just don't like you anymore.
I'm the kind of fox
who gets sick of things easily.
No.
You're not that kind of a fox.
It just takes some time,
but once you open your heart,
you care for someone forever,
and you act like you're mean,
but you're soft-hearted and kind.
-What do you know about me?
-I know.
Just by seeing how you treat Lord Lee Rang
and the puppy--
Stop acting nice, please!
I can't stand you lecturing me,
saying that I need
a friend or family or whatever,
and your damn tacky looks,
and that smiling face.
I hate everything about you.
I won't lecture anymore.
I'll wear the clothes you pick for me.
And I'll stop smiling
if you tell me not to.
Please stop it!
I hate you! I hate you!
You're lying.
You, too. Stop being so clingy.
Bye.
I can never break up with you.
Let go!
No, I won't let go.
Not until you cancel our breakup. Never.
Koo Shin-ju.
If you do this,
I'm going to be put off by you even more.
I'm sorry.
Whatever it is, it's all my fault, so--
Don't follow me.
Just get out of my life, please.
She said I pretend to be nice.
She said she hates my face,
and I dress in tacky clothes.
Well, after hearing about it,
she's not completely wrong, but--
That ground cherry thief
is a total gangster!
Is she playing with you or what?
Don't criticize Yoo-ri.
Please.
Stop crying.
She was my first and last love.
I was going to propose to her too.
I went to Jongno yesterday
and bought a gold ring.
But this happened.
I'm sure she had a reason
to break up with you so suddenly.
I can't figure it out.
It's the Imoogi. The Imoogi took her.
Lord Lee Rang!
Rang!
What are you doing?
You're awake! You're back!
Cut it out. This isn't like you.
You're going to make me want to die again.
How did you wake up?
What do you mean, the Imoogi took her?
Yoo-ri went with that jerk
in exchange of saving my life.
Soo-oh saw it.
No, we must get Yoo-ri back.
-You can't get her back like this.
-What if it kills her in the meantime?
Let go!
Are you trying to get us killed
all at once, you idiot?
I hit him, because I thought
you wouldn't be able to do it.
I promise.
I will save your girlfriend
and bring her back alive.
I'm going to kill that Imoogi.
Leave that thing to me.
It tried to kill me twice.
Speaking of which, where's Soo-oh?
Is he home alone, by any chance?
He is home alone, of course.
How could you leave a kid alone at home?
Even if you try to drag him out,
he won't budge.
Everyone's here.
Including someone
I'm not very happy to see.
Who are all these jerks?
My part-timers.
What are you looking at?
You're as handsome as he is,
so I can totally tell.
You're not human, are you?
Don't talk to me.
If you do, I'll bite you.
I knew it.
Three humans and two foxes.
Dr. Koo, what are you?
It's three humans and three foxes.
Looks like we're done with
self-introductions, so let's begin.
You said it's a battle plan meeting.
Why are you here?
Because I've dealt with the Imoogi
more than you have.
And you're also growing one
inside your body.
Leave her out of this.
What if it eavesdrops
from inside her body?
No, we need Ji-ah for this plan.
If you have a problem with that, get out.
Everyone here has met the Imoogi
at least once.
We've all had our lives threatened
in different ways,
and it's taken a hostage too.
Plus, there isn't just one of that thing.
There are two of them.
We must catch both to end this fight.
And…
And…
this one here is the main body.
Hey, Imoogi's nest.
Why don't you just pass away
and stop bothering everyone?
Why didn't you
just keep lying in bed at home?
You made a great Sleeping Beauty.
The Imoogi can't die
from physical attacks, like stabs or cuts.
It can control minds too.
Only Ji-ah and I are free from it.
It may be very difficult,
but try not to run into it one-on-one.
But how can we fight it without facing it?
What can you do even if you face it?
You might just scream for help
and that would be it.
-I'm warning you.
-"I'm warning you."
What's that jerk Terry trying to do
by going that far?
It said it'll kill everyone.
After that?
After that,
the plague will strike the world.
So no one would dare to be happy.
The plague?
Lord Lee Rang,
please stop playing that game.
I'm listening.
Don't blabber on about it.
Just get to the point.
I've only been trying to
fight the Imoogi we know,
because I was afraid that
Ji-ah might get hurt.
But from now on…
we change the target.
How are we going to kill the thing
inside her body?
Did you find a way?
I did.
WATER SNAIL BRIDE
KOREAN RESTAURAN
Remember the fortune teller we met
at the Folk Village?
Of course I remember.
We lost the Fox Marble, thanks to someone.
There's a rumor about him being
a big figure. Is that true?
He's one of the Ten Lords
of the World of the Dead.
What?
He has the Clothes Hanger Sword too.
No way.
What's the Clothes Hanger Sword?
It's the sword that cuts the sin.
Cuts the sin?
A long time ago, the King of the Dead
picked a branch off a Clothes Hanger Tree,
which weighs sin,
and made it into a sword himself.
But didn't it disappear from the world
thousands of years ago?
The Water Snail Bride
picked it up just now.
But if you cut Producer Nam with it,
she'll get hurt.
She won't.
The Clothes Hanger Sword
is a wooden sword.
It cuts things
that cannot actually be cut.
In other words,
it'll only cut the Imoogi's soul.
Oh, that's a relief, Ji-ah.
When are we going to do it?
Tomorrow.
How does it feel to be born again?
Is it because I almost died?
The coffee tastes especially good.
Live long, you dummy.
If you die, you can't drink this coffee
you love, and it'd be so unfair.
Were you scared? That I might die?
Yeah, I was.
What's yours? Let me taste it.
It's good.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Because it's my first time
coming to a café with you.
All I had to do was to reach out.
Why was I like that all this time?
What the heck? Are you dying or something?
It's really good.
It tastes like a rainbow, doesn't it?
Let me taste yours too.
No, not mine.
You ungrateful brat.
Don't put your mouth on it!
What's this?
It's nothing.
Did that woman do it?
No, she didn't.
You're defending her, so it must be her.
That Clothes Hanger Sword or whatever,
would it really work on that jerk?
It's been 600 long years.
I want to put an end
to this tiresome fight.
What if you fail?
What would happen to you if you fail?
Rang.
That's why I need you.
I've been struggling all my life.
One more step,
and I could've been at the top of Korea.
Damn it.
But I ended up in this tiny cell.
Still, I survived.
I'm alive.
Get some of these too.
How can you crave tteokbokki
at a time like this?
Even if the world ends tomorrow,
I have to eat tteokbokki.
What are you saying?
Hey, get some more of those!
-Are you going to eat cheese balls?
-Yeah, lots.
We'd like to add extra cheese balls.
Okay.
It's hot.
Wow, this is delicious.
-I think this tastes the best.
-This?
Wow, how can this be delicious
even in this situation?
-This?
-Yes.
Let me see.
Don't come see me for a while.
You could be in danger if you're with me.
I don't care.
You guys almost got killed.
Remember?
When my mom came to Seoul
for a herniated disc surgery.
She had a show that day,
so she couldn't go to the hospital
and cried so much.
You went to the hospital for me,
didn't you?
You protected my mom.
If I left my mom alone at that time,
I would've been even more heartbroken
when my mom died.
-Let us help you too.
-That's right.
We're ordinary humans,
so we may not have powers,
but if it's about saving you,
I want to help as much as I can.
For now, going back to work
is the way for you to help me.
Mr. Choi would be furious
if all three of us are absent.
Mr. Choi isn't at work.
What?
He turned himself in?
There's no way the Imoogi
would just let him go like that.
Please find out about
what's going on at the police station.
Okay.
Your call cannot be completed as dialed…
Mr. Choi isn't answering.
-Hey, call 911! Now!
-Okay.
Hello? Is this 911?
This is Geumran Police Station.
I-- I-- I will--
Please open his airway.
Water Snail Bride.
We need to move up our plan.
It started to make its move.
We don't have much time left.
Today,
we catch the Imoogi inside Ji-ah first.
From here on, nothing can go wrong.
All right, I got it, so out with it.
The plan is simple.
Ji-ah will bleed first
to bring the Imoogi out.
When it comes out,
I'll cut it with the Clothes Hanger Sword.
Shin-ju, when Ji-ah and I go in the room,
lock the door from outside.
No one should come near us
until I send a signal.
-Why?
-If that thing runs away from Ji-ah…
you guys will be in danger.
Or it might go into your bodies.
That's why I made a barrier
with horse blood.
This Imoogi is different from
the one we've seen so far.
As of now, we don't know
what it looks like or where it'll go.
Absolutely no mistakes are allowed.
What if that thing goes into your body?
That will never happen
while I'm conscious.
Shin-ju.
It's a serpent.
I brought an animal
that suits that jerk the best.
So, you're saying if you cut it at once,
that'd be the best.
Even if it runs away,
that serpent would be
the only body it'll have, right?
Let's go.
I want to get rid of it
as soon as possible.
Here's the sword.
Well done. You can go now.
Please be careful.
Well, then.
Shall we begin?
Before that, Lee Yeon,
tie me to the chair with this.
I might harm you again.
You don't need to do all that.
Listen to me, okay?
Why do you keep trying to protect me?
I got a bad feeling about this.
Don't say that. It may bring bad omen.
I'm going to tie you up then.
Okay.
Lee Yeon.
Can you please give me a hug?
Don't hesitate because of me.
Don't be nervous.
This is a wooden sword
without a sharp blade.
I'm prepared for any possible injuries.
Why would I let you get hurt?
And this sword can only cut
what cannot be cut,
like the Imoogi's soul.
Then can it cut your soul too?
Of course it can.
By the way…
Yeah?
…since a while ago…
who are you?
It's your soul
that's going to disappear.
-No!
-Move!
If something happens to Lee Yeon,
I'll kill that woman!
You can't go in.
If you want to go in, attack me first.
You think I won't be able to?
Damn it.
You pathetic idiot.
I didn't think
you'd get the Clothes Hanger Sword.
Hey.
Are you pretending to be asleep?
What?
Has your soul really disappeared?
It was going to turn out like this anyway.
Here's the old house.
Now give me the new house.
House prices these days are crazy high.
Look at you, you thief.
-What?
-What do you mean, what?
I wanted to check this.
So, you use this scale to transfer, huh?
That fortune teller
hasn't been seen since the Folk Village.
Even the god of the Stream of the Dead
with the thousand-mile-eyes can't see him.
Damn it.
What should we do now?
You go out now
and get any wooden sword for me.
Wooden sword?
What are you going to do
with a sword that can't cut?
I'm going to try to cut
something that cannot be cut.
Now, let's have a different kind of fun.
Stop the car.
Then this sword was…
We bought it at a flea market
in Cheonggyecheon. It's $10.
That damn fortune teller
only shows himself
when he wants to, where he wants to.
You damn gangster!
Hey, look who's talking.
What's with
that terrible impersonation of Ji-ah?
-Did you know it was me?
-That disgusting smell.
Something's smelled like blood
since I came here.
I have a great sense of smell, you know.
Anyway, thanks for your donation.
Do you think obtaining my scale
would turn the tables right away?
Even if you plant it into something else,
I will find this woman again
and get into her body.
Until you surrender and give me your body.
So you're saying
this thing can transfer you.
For example,
how about that serpent?
Try it if you dare.
Go ahead.
You're not thinking
that I'll give this body back so easily
when I'm being dragged out
against my will, are you?
Yeah.
To be honest,
I prefer you over that other Imoogi.
A villain should be able to
go this berserk at least.
Romance? For a damn Imoogi?
That's nonsense.
This woman is no more than
a hostage for me.
I'm sure that jerk is interested in Ji-ah
more than completing your body.
That jerk is just a crumble of my body.
It seems like he thinks differently.
Do you think this will make me
go estranged from that guy?
Wake up.
Do you even know
what that jerk is plotting right now?
You see, that jerk is…
I swear, those jerks…

Innocent lives are dying.
If we let it be,
the world will be in chaos soon.
No, you're wrong.
That's just who you are.
From the beginning.
-Honey.
-Don't call me that.
I just decided
to quit being your husband.
Don't be ridiculous.
Who said you can do that?
Stop right there!
Can't you hear me?
One step out that door,
and you will lose everything.
I will make that happen!
Hey, are you okay?
Lee Yeon.
Yes, it's me.
Let's hurry.
So I can at least stay as myself
at the last moment.
So I can be with you.
Let's end this.
This tiring fight.
Let's end it.

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED
Just give me three days.
-I can catch it! I can catch the Imoogi!
-It's too late.
You will regret this.
If it weren't for me,
Lee Yeon would still be living
as a mountain god, right?
I'm sure Lee Yeon won't forgive me.
I might regret liking you
for the first time.
I can destroy everything you cherish.
Let's do it together.
Strike the god of the Stream of the Dead.
The condition?
Let Ji-ah go.
