The Possessed (Possession / Bingui / 빙의)

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

I told you

that you'd be the ultimate proof of my theory.

All right.

It's time for you to meet your mom.

No!

Seo-jeong.

Run.

Run!

Don't. We can't win against him now.

Run!

I told you to stay put until I got there!

EPISODE 7

Your bag. Where's your bag?

Why do you ask?

Pack what you need and let's get out of here. Get your bag.

Where are we going?

That sick bastard might barge in here any second now.

You still don't get it?

No matter where we hide,

he can track us down if he wants to find us.

So what? Are you suggesting we wait here for him to show up and kill us?

Getting worked up like that won't solve anything.

How can I not get worked up right now?

It's done.

This is actually the safest place for us.

Since this space is filled with my spiritual energy,

Hwang Dae-du won't be able to barge in.

All right. Then let's just stay here. Get some sleep.

I'll stand guard for you.

I want to be alone.

Don't be ridiculous!

I have to do some thinking.

I'll call you right away if anything happens,

so just leave, please.

Jeez.

Seo-jeong.

Run!

This is your mom.

Even though she knew that it wouldn't really work,

she left you, hoping that her fate as a shaman

wouldn't get passed down to you.

Mothers express their love by embracing and cherishing their children,

but leaving you for your sake when you were only an infant at the time

was her way of loving you.

My death is nearing,

so I have no energy left in me.

You must free your mother's soul.

Only then will you live

and save this world.

Your daughter is very pretty.

Don't you dare lay a finger on her.

I guess I underestimated your spiritual abilities.

I thought you and I were one now,

but you were cooking up a ruse behind my back.

I'm not the one who called your daughter.

It was you.

You won't be able to pull that trick again, though.

Things won't go the way you want them to.

The powers of Heaven won't be defeated

by an evil spirit like you.

I guess you really are afraid of me.

I know why you're angry.

I also know why you ended up like this.

You are the one who is afraid.

Because of the things

you experienced back then,

you ended up like this.

You were

incredibly tenderhearted

and innocent.

Am I afraid of you?

No.

I...

pity you.

The pain

that haunted you every single night.

I can feel all your pain.

Because you and I are one now,

I can feel everything

you feel.

Poor baby.

My dear,

it's not your fault.

Back then,

if just one person

had reached his or her hand out to you,

you wouldn't have ended up like this.

You know there's no going back now.

POWER OFF

-Hello? -Hey, where are you?

Aren't you coming to work?

I'll be there soon. I have to go.

Seo-jeong!

Seo-jeong!

The person you are trying to reach

-is unavailable. -Jeez.

Damn it.

Are you sure she didn't come here?

It is odd. She's supposed to get clothes for our store today,

but I haven't heard from her.

-You must be that guy. -Sorry?

The guy who Seo-jeong spent the night with.

What's she saying?

The person you are trying to--

God damn it.

-Hey, Officer Choe. -Hello, Detective Kang.

You guys oversee the security cameras in Sangdong, right?

What?

-Yes. -Good. I need to see the footage now.

This is the footage from camera number 3 at street number 17.

Thanks.

Did something happen?

Officer Choe, I'd like to check the footage alone.

-Sure, no problem. -Thanks for understanding.

What's this?

I'm going away for a little while to clear my head.

Don't worry about me and take care of yourself.

I'm feeling hot.

Am I the only one who's hot?

What's that?

What's going on?

The entertainment districts that were packed with people at 9 p.m.

are so quiet that we're reminded of the era when night curfew was in place.

Schools all over the country have been letting students out early,

and places like concert halls, theaters, and restaurants that are usually crowded

have been dead quiet for a while now.

What's more shocking

is that the culprits aren't voluntary users of the drug.

The fact that the drug is spreading with unspecified individuals as targets

is causing extreme fear among the public at the moment.

Since declaring a state of emergency on the 15th, the government

has been trying to investigate the issue with police forces nationwide,

but the police haven't been able to identify any possible suspects.

Starting now, we are going to be on duty around the clock.

Detective Choe, come up with a shift plan to patrol our area more often.

We're given permission to carry our guns,

so get your guns ready.

You may shoot to kill in case of an emergency.

When you use your firearm, just make sure no innocent civilians get hurt.

Be very careful. That's it.

Got it, sir.

What is going on?

What kind of sicko is doing this?

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

24 MISSED CALLS

You're so mean.

Shouldn't you at least tell me why you need to clear your head?

Do you want me to be worried to death?

Is it that hard to text me and let me know that you're okay?

Did you all have a good time?

-Yes! -Yes!

I'll have them wash up quickly and get them ready for prayer service.

-Just let them go to bed. -Pardon me?

They must be full and tired.

They'll obviously doze off during the meditation.

Why do something so pointless?

Have them wash up and go to bed.

All right.

-Let's go. -Okay.

-Oh, no. Be careful. -Let's go.

Let's sit.

You initially said three to four days, but I guess you decided to stay longer.

Yes.

I'd like to stay a few more days.

It's nice to have all these people at the temple for a change.

It's nice to hear those kids' laughter as well.

I suppose the young monks had their training today.

I guess we can say that eating is part of their training.

They went out and ate jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk.

-Pardon? -They're in their growth spurts, you know.

Well, still...

"Buddhist monks don't eat meat."

Most people think that it's an unbreakable Buddhist rule,

but strictly speaking,

even grass and leaves are all living things.

Superficial formalities aren't everything.

A sage who eats meat

is obviously better than a robber who's strictly vegetarian.

Sir.

If I must give up something

to obtain something,

what should I do?

What must you obtain?

And what must you give up?

To protect this world,

I must give up on the person I love.

Are you some superhero?

Why should you protect the world?

Never mind.

If you decide to protect the world

and give up on the person you love,

you'll only be losing one thing.

However, if you give up on the world

and choose the person you love,

you'll be losing both.

If the world is doomed,

the person you love wouldn't be safe, either.

Illegal drugs have been distributed, targeting unspecified crowds.
