Parasyte: The Grey (기생수: 더 그레이)

SOMEONE LIVING ON EARTH SUDDENLY HAD A THOUGHT.

IF THE HUMAN POPULATION SHRANK TO A HUNDREDTH OF ITS SIZE,

WOULD THE POISON SPEWED ALSO DECREASE BY THE SAME AMOUNT?

IF THE HUMAN POPULATION WERE CUT IN HALF,

HOW MANY MORE FORESTS WOULD SURVIVE?

SOMEONE LIVING ON EARTH SUDDENLY HAD A THOUGHT.

WE MUST PROTECT THE FUTURE OF ALL LIVING THINGS.

What did you say, motherfucker? That's such bullshit.

You think I'm scared to kill somebody, huh?

ENOUGH, OR YOU'LL MAKE HIM CRY

Fuck.

THIS LOSER AND HIS INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Try me.

Seriously? These bastards. Shit!

Whoo!

Wake up!

Why'd you even come here? Just to sleep?

Come on, bro!

Hey!

Let's go dance! Come on!

Christ, you're so boring.

Stay there, then.

Oh, you're back!

Hey, did you sober up? Huh?

THE GREY

ONE HOUR AGO

Huh?

Don't. Just work.

Just a minute.

It's acting up. The register. It's driving me nuts, seriously.

A bag for you, sir?

Point card?

Okay, that'll be 44,000 won.

You'll need to get a sticker for this one at the butcher counter, okay, sir?

Excuse me.

Sir, um...

You'll need to go over to the counter and get a price tag to check out.

Nah, they gave it to me that way.

You still gotta go get a price tag so I can scan it.

Hey, come on.

Can't you just get the stupid thing? Jesus Christ.

Sir, the butcher handles the meat, so you'll need to go over there...

Why can't you, bitch, just go and do it, huh?

Huh? Why is this dumb bitch ordering around a customer?

Ah, this is such bullshit.

I can't even...

I could kill you all.

Oh fuck. I swear to God. I'll just kill 'em all.

What's that about?

Did you say something?

Next, please.

Okay, bye. See ya tomorrow!

Oh, Su-in, good night. Good work today.

Thank you.

Nice job today.

Hey, you stupid bitch.

What'd you say before, huh?

Say it to me again, you little fucker!

Huh? Come here, fucking bitch!

You bitch! Get back here!

Hey! Think I can't go this far?

You shits believe I can kill somebody now, huh?

Just watch.

I'll do it now. I will. Just watch.

I'll cut her up.

Ah fuck!

Hey!

You think you can hide from me, huh?

You just fucking wait.

Stupid bitch.

Hello? I'm at the intersection near the Namcheon power plant.

I think there's been an accident here.

There's a motorcycle knocked over. Yeah, and a car.

Yes, sir. Yes, I'll brief you first thing in the morning.

Yeah. Yeah, copy that.

- Ah, hello, sir. - Hello, sir.

Christ, this is exhausting, isn't it?

I know, it's the third violent crime just since this morning.

Some kinda day. Where's Won-seok?

Detective Kang will be here soon.

Christ. Anytime something awful happens, he's late.

So who's the suspect?

- Well, his name is Lee Kyung-chun. - Yeah.

Forty-three years old. Got priors for some violent crimes. Schizophrenic.

- Schizophrenic? - Yeah.

He and the victim argued at the supermarket where she works.

Employees have already given us their statements, sir.

The story goes he followed her in his car, ran her over, and then he drew a weapon.

Crazy jackass. And so?

What else?

Ah, well, it's...

Um... he had a weapon, and he chased her,

and then he died somehow.

He bled to death.

Who did?

The maniac?

Yeah, he got split open.

Looks like, basically, his chest all the way up to his face.

I thought you said he jumped her. What do you mean he got split open?

Yeah, it's all pretty strange, boss.

Nobody's sure if he got cut in the crash or might have gotten cut later.

Hopefully, the pathologist can say.

It's one thing after another today.

Who's the victim?

Yes, uh, the victim is Jeong Su-in, 29 years old.

Uh, I'm sorry, boss. Do you know her?

Yeah.

How's she doing?

They say she's unharmed, except she's been in a coma.

What do you mean?

She was ambushed by Mr. Crazy, but she's unharmed? How?

That's confusing too.

There are places where she's got these scars,

like she got stabbed.

And her clothes were soaked with her own blood too.

Only, they said the scars look old like they're not from this.

Su-in, you can't show up here again.

Sorry, what's going on?

Are you feeling better?

Detective.

Su-in.

Are you all right?

What am I doing here?

Do you remember anything?

Today, a man tried to stab you to death.

Uh, yeah, the man that I met earlier at the market.

Yeah, that man, right.

Yeah, that man's why we're here. So are you all right?

I remember arguing with him over some meat, I think.

Then I think he followed me.

Yeah, I got run into, and then...

then he started to stab me.

Luckily, you... you don't seem to be hurt.

Wh... wha...

I know I got cut though.

I know, but they said those scars looked like they were pretty old.

I don't have scars. That doesn't make sense.

What about your attacker? Was he injured at all during the attack?

Uh, N... no.

- Hmm. - He was following, so I tried to run.

There was so much blood, I couldn't...

- It's hard to remember. - Mm-hmm.

You found him, right?

He was dead at the scene. Slashed from his chest to his face.

Enough, okay?

I'll do the talking. You guys wait outside.

- Yeah? - Yeah, okay.

Just wait outside.

I still don't understand. I was about to die out there.

And then, instead of me, he died?

Hey, when something like this happens,

it's not uncommon for you to have problems with your memory.

Don't feel pressured to remember it now.

It's just... I did get stabbed, you know.

Why?

Why do you think that?

'Cause I kept thinking one thing,

"All over again."

"All over again"?

Yes.

Time to be unhappy all over again.

It's this recurring feeling. I'm used to it now.

"It's time to be unhappy again."

Su-in, that won't happen to you again.

When I was ten, and my dad was abusing me, I had the same thought.

When my dad hit me with a clothes iron,

broke my bones, and, you know,

I used to think like that.

"It's time to be unhappy again."

Tonight, when I got stabbed,

it just brought all those feelings out again.

Nothing like that is going to happen again, okay?

If you hadn't been there to save me from my father,

I wouldn't even be alive right now.

No, you called us out there.

Do you think it's easy for a ten-year-old little girl

to report her own dad to the police?

I wasn't the one who saved you.

You're the one who saved yourself.

Su-in,

I believe you can always save yourself.

I know it.

If there's anything that comes back to you about tonight,

just let us know.

And just so you know, I'm really happy you're safe. Hmm?

If you need anything, give me a call, all right?

Get some rest.

Hey, Chul-min! Sorry. I'm sorry I'm late.

No, please. No rush.

- Where were you, evening mass? - Jesus.

Won-seok, praying doesn't suit you.

- Shut up, all right? - You go to church?

Anyway, get out of here.

Oh, you saw the girl, right? I was hoping...

Ah, let me just breathe a sec.

Tomorrow, get here early.

- Got it. - Right.

Look, if we solve a couple big cases from today, who knows?

We could get promoted soon, right?

A FEW MONTHS LATER
