The Possessed (Possession / Bingui / 빙의)

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Are you all right?

What's the matter with you these days?

You are making me worried sick.

Do you think I'm talking nonsense right now?

You should take a week off.

Go on a trip or do something to refresh yourself.

How will you explain the mirror and the nail?

That bastard must've intentionally left evidence behind

so that we could recognize his MO.

The Seon Yang-woo case was covered by the news.

The whole country knows about his MO and signature, you punk.

The culprit copied Seon Yang-woo's MO

to get in the way of the investigation.

This isn't your first rodeo.

No, this is not just a copycat murder.

So, what's your point?

Hwang Dae-du was executed 20 years ago.

And Hwang Dae-du's follower, Seon Yang-woo,

died before my very eyes. I shot him dead.

Should we go dig his grave?

-Chief. -What is it?

Are you Chief Yu Byeong-hak of Sangdong Police Station?

-Yes. -I'm Kim Jin-yong

from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

Hello. What brings your unit here?

As of now, we will take over the case.

-Pardon? -The notice of case transfer

should be processed at your station by now.

We will request your investigation records if we need them.

You may go now.

Darn it. We did all the work for nothing.

-Hey, Detective Kim. -Yes?

Stop wasting your energy and wrap up here.

Let's go home.

The drug Kim Tae-sik had with him is something

we've never seen before in our country.

And its side effect is too lethal.

The higher-ups instructed the transfer due to the gravity of the situation.

I hope you understand.

Sure. I understand.

You'll have your plate full. Good luck, then.

Let's go.

Wait. It's Hwang Dae-du, okay?

-This case has something to do with him. -Pardon?

-Hwang Dae-du. -Please don't mind him.

He's been on edge lately.

Hey! What's gotten into you?

-I'm sorry. Good luck. -Darn it.

Hey, let's get going.

-Hand over the case and wrap up. -Okay.

Hey, Pil-seong.

I don't care if Seon Yang-woo digs himself out of his grave

or if Hwang Dae-du comes back from the dead.

The case has already been transferred.

Don't you get any weird ideas, and come to your senses.

I'm saying this because I'm worried about you.

I saw a lot of colleagues turning in their badges

after solving a big case because they couldn't stop obsessing over the case.

Where are you right now?

I'm on my way home now. Don't go anywhere, okay?

If there's nothing else, let's go home. I'm leaving.

-Bye. -Bye.

Yeon-hui, Chief is going out now.

Chief Yu!

-Hey, Officer Choe. -Are you going home now?

-Yes. -Sir...

You're going to bust Seung-hui's chops, right?

You know that expression?

Well, yes.

I'm the youngest of five.

I have four older brothers,

so I've always wanted to have a nice younger sister ever since I was young.

Seung-hui's like a younger sister to me.

Don't upbraid her too much.

Whatever the reason was, she broke someone's wrist.

I had a quick chat with her.

She and I got along really well.

We're going to have a meal together this weekend.

I will talk to Seung-hui.

Could you not scold her about this?

Please?

-Officer Choe. -Yes.

Thank you.

-I'll do as you say. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Good night, sir.

I'm going to destroy the world little by little.

Let's enjoy this game.

There's no reason to rush.

Hello?

I just need to get you her current address, right?

But who is this?

I can't just run a background check on anyone.

-There must be legitimate grounds for-- -It's my mom.

I just want to see if she's doing okay.

I asked my aunt, but she doesn't seem to know much.

Why? Is there something wrong?

Okay. Why don't you sit there and wait?

I'll look it up and be back soon.

Don't touch anything, all right?

Okay.

Is that his desk?

Wait. Why can't I get out of this?

Darn it.

He's going to nag me about this.

There should be a key somewhere here.

Darn it.

SAFETY FIRST

I looked up her address. Where did she go?

Come on. I told you to sit tight. Why don't you ever listen to me?

I wasn't even gone for five minutes. Look what you've done to yourself.

Why are you looking at that?

Hold on. Where is this place?

Why do you want to know?

I saw this place. To be exact,

it was shown to me.

You saw it? What did you see?

I keep seeing strange things these days.

I think something happened to my mom.

Wait for me here.

Let me go with you.

I'll call you once I confirm that it's safe in there.

You can follow me in then.

Shit!

I told you to wait for me in the car. Get out! Now!

I told you to stay in the car.

She tried to cast a necromancy spell.

What?

I got it. Go stay in the car.

Detective Kang.

I'm all right.

She didn't really have much interaction with other people.

She'd go to another shrine to pray for more than half of the year.

I thought nothing of it even when no one was at the shrine.

There is a surveillance camera at a crossroad leading up here.

There has been a total of 12 vehicles that approached the shrine

for the past three months.

Eleven showed nothing out of the ordinary.

The last one could've been driven by the culprit.

-What's so unusual about the last vehicle? -Well...

Your precinct solved the Seon Yang-woo case, right?

This car entered the area on the 16th of last month at 11:57 p.m.

and left the area the next day at five o'clock in the morning.

It turned out to be Seon Yang-woo's car.

I see.

I heard she's the victim's daughter, but she seems too composed.

Is she really her daughter?

-Anyway, thank you. See you around. -Okay.

There's an ocean.

I've wanted to come to the beach lately.

I get to see the ocean thanks to my mom.

Don't think about anything else for now.

Just focus on getting ready for your mother's funeral.

I've never seen or talked to her my entire life.

Don't you think it would be ridiculous for me to sit there

as a chief mourner?

Are you serious?

I have...

never had a dream about my mom.

Well, I must know how she looks for her to show up in my dream.

She's just a stranger to me.

I'm sure she had lived her life,

thinking the same about me.

Here.

It was in her drawer.

You might think of her as a stranger,

but I think she thought of you as her daughter,

given how she kept your photo at her bedside.

That doesn't change anything.

SANGDONG POLICE STATION

I saw this place. To be exact, it was shown to me.

She tried to cast a necromancy spell.

What on earth is going on?

Hey, I would like to ask you that.

How did you find out about the murder and go all the way there?

Why did Seon Yang-woo go deep into the mountain and kill the shamans?

I don't know.

I'll do a follow-up investigation at the scene for a few days.

Hey, if it is confirmed that Seon Yang-woo was the culprit,

the case will be closed as he cannot be indicted.

We can't make a dead guy stand trial.

So don't get any funny ideas and sit down.

The detectives on the case will take care of things.

That's not what I--

Gosh.

Why are you obsessing over a dead man?

Pil-seong, if you are under too much emotional strain,

you should consider seeking professional help.

I can't believe you.

Move.

Wait. Detective Kang!

Chief, could Detective Kang

have developed PTSD

from working on the Seon Yang-woo case?

He nearly died catching Seon Yang-woo, so it's plausible.

We'll keep an eye on him.

Were you out all night?

Wait, were you with a man?
