The Possessed (Possession / Bingui / 빙의)

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

A seven-year-old boy

was the first to find his mother after she killed herself.

The pain must have been more than you could handle.

Who are you?

How did you know that?

Are you really a shaman?

Did I upset you?

I only said what I was feeling--

Have you been doing background checks on me?

Are you always like that

or does it come with the job?

You crossed the line.

So did you.

I hate it when people call me a shaman.

Don't ever talk to me again.

I want to say the same thing!

Unbelievable. That crazy shaman...

What a nutjob! Damn it!

Who did she hear it from?

Damn it!

Hey!

I'm only asking because I'm curious.

How did you know?

Who told you?

Do you want to know?

Then,

come on in.

You said you wanted to know.

Can you turn on the lights?

Come over here.

What...

Is this how you seduce men?

Close your eyes.

My goodness.

We're moving too fast.

Just shut up and close your eyes.

What are you doing?

Just don't regret it.

Open your eyes.

You're messing with me again, aren't you?

How did someone so skittish become a police officer?

Are they all gone?

Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're gone.

Then?

You can't see the moon during the day because of the sun.

The moon's still there, though.

Are those ghosts that I saw?

Don't worry, all right? They can't harm you in any way.

Are you going to keep sitting there like that?

What the hell did you do to me?

Why am I seeing ghosts?

I just let you borrow my ability to see spirits for a moment.

You did what?

Well...

Think of it as a talent donation.

So you really were a shaman.

I told you to stop calling me that!

Besides, I'm not

a shaman.

Then what are you?

I...

was just born with this ability.

That's the same thing!

Are they still here?

Where are they?

Don't bother asking. Knowing will only make it worse.

Will one of them get inside of me and mess with my head?

What was it called again? "Possession"!

Spirits and ghosts can enter people's bodies.

Spirits that haven't been able to cross over have no power.

Besides, they can't easily possess average people.

But why are you talking so informally

to me?

So you're saying that these spirits can't do me any harm, right?

Exactly.

What are you looking at?

I think the young virgin ghost has a thing for you.

-What? -Well,

ghosts only remember the desperation they felt right before death.

This virgin ghost

is engulfed with resentment and yearning for men.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you're handsome

or attractive in any way, so don't be too happy about it.

I never said anything.

Anyways, you're saying I can't be possessed,

right?

Jeez, you're a coward and you're really distrustful, too.

What...

What the hell? This isn't possible.

Get out. Get out of there!

Get out!

Are you all right?

Hey!

-Lower the volume! -Let's see what it means.

-I can't sleep because of the noise! -The patient says...

They're asking for a painkiller.

The pharmacist answers...

The pharmacist asks for a prescription.

The pharmacist adds...

The patient needs a prescription to buy this medicine.

Good morning, everyone!

Did you pull an all-nighter?

I admire you, sir.

Your sense of duty, passion, and high level of concentration

sets an example to every policeman in this country.

-I also-- -Hey.

Get him out of my face.

Don't just sit around there. Let's get to work. Follow me.

VICTIM INFORMATION

CRIME SCENE PHOTOS

According to the autopsy,

there wasn't anything special.

A ruptured carotid artery caused by a metal object

was the direct cause of death.

And tomorrow, the victim's body will be--

It's today, sir.

Her body will be delivered to her family today.

How was her personal life?

No grudges, no love relationships, and no debts.

Her life was clean.

Nothing showed up in her call logs either.

What is it then? A random killing?

The killer seems to have prepared everything in advance, though.

For example, the killer avoided all the security cameras around the area.

A lot of thinking and preparing

went into the killer's escape route, too.

So what do you think?

The pattern is that of a typical serial killer.

What?

There hasn't been a single murder case in our jurisdiction

within the last year,

and this doesn't follow the pattern

of any murder case that happened outside our jurisdiction, either.

The killer's MO,

hunting ground, and victim do not match.

How are we supposed to look into anything without any leads?

We can't sit around and do nothing, though.

Detective Kang, look into recent unsolved cases.

Detective Choe, find and question those

who were near the park on the day of the murder.

Someone must've seen the culprit

-unless the culprit is somehow invisible. -All right.

What are you waiting for? Get going.

-Hey, Mr. Formality. -Yes, sir.

Find and print all the cold case files

within the last three years.

I want the victims' gender, occupation, age,

-autopsy report, and crime scene photos. -Yes, sir.

COLD CASE

That's a lot.

-This is everything. -My goodness.

I'll lend you a hand.

EXCESSIVE BLEEDING

Kim Nak-cheon...

FORMER DETECTIVE AT SIYANG POLICE STATION

-Chief. -Yes?

Have you heard of a detective named Kim Nak-cheon?

He worked at Siyang Police Station in the 90s.

-Kim Nak-cheon? -Yes.

Kim Nak-cheon...

He's the one who caught Hwang Dae-du.

Hwang Dae-du?

Don't you know the infamous Hwang Dae-du?

It's understandable since you were probably just a kid at the time.

He was a serial killer who murdered 30 people in 5 years.

It was total chaos back then.

That case turned the whole nation upside down.

Did you know that the detective was murdered recently?

He died? How?

He was living on the streets and was murdered by someone.

The cause of death was a severed carotid artery.

Unbelievable.

He was once like a symbol of the police force.

My goodness.

Wait. Did you say that he died of a severed carotid artery?

CRIMINAL AFFAIRS DIVISION

Case files that are over 20 years old haven't been digitized yet.

The records only exist on paper.

Is there something going on today?

The captain of the Criminal Affairs Division died from overwork.

The burial is today,

and the hearse will stop by before going to the burial site.

I feel bad for him.

This way, sir.

The records are down there.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Let's see.

POLICE ACADEMY DISSERTATIONS

You scared me!

I didn't know someone was here.

Good day, sir.

Gosh.
