- The pulse? - 100. It's too fast
- The BP? - 80 over 60
He’s not dead yet
We can't operate him without his family's consent
Come on!
Does this happen so often here?
Let's have some fun!
Sir!
He's in cardiac arrest
Prepare for DC!
One EPI, one ATRO!
Hang in there
Lost one of your slippers again?
Get well soon so you can play with your grandson
I'm your doctor
I need to ask you a few things
What's your name?
Okay
You'd been unconscious for 14 days
Remember the accident?
Anybody to contact?
All right
We found this photo in your pocket
Remember who this is?
If you do
blink your eyes or nod
I have to go there
What was that? Say it again please
Spider Forest...
Spider Forest? Where is that?
They're dead
Two of them
Police...
Call the police
God damn it!
Let go, *** pigs!
***!
*** ***!
- Put the handcuffs around him - Let go
You, son of a ***
***!
You tried to *** stab me?
*** ***!
Hello?
Right
What?
Min!
It's me Sung- hyun
Are you okay?
Spiders
The spider lay, laid...
They laid eggs
Baby spiders...
They swarmed around in his mouth
What the *** are you saying?
I came to realized
the dead person was...
It was me!
It's okay
Everything's fine The surgery went well
You trust me, don't you?
For whatever I say?
Sure
Tell me you trust me
I do trust you
Go to the forest
They're there
What?
Dead bodies!
A male and a female
***! So many spiders!
- Their IDs checked out? - Yes, sir
CHOI Jong - Pil, 46
a managing director at IBS
HWANG Su- young, 27
a reporter at the same station
This is a headache
About 40 stab wounds
on him
But only 3 on her
He died on the spot
But she was alive
for as long as 24 hours
I'll have the autopsies done
You dig for leads
The guy was a director
at a TV station
The press will have a field day
Watch out for leaks until we have a suspect
Yes, sir
- Detective CHOI - Sir?
Are you close to that guy
KANG Min?
He’s just an acquaintance
He said the female victim was his girlfriend?
Yes
It's obvious then
A crime of passion! What do you say?
No
He said he’d seen someone
running out of the house
He wakes up from a coma after brain surgery
and confesses his crime? That’s lame
You know what they say
A guilty conscience needs no accuser!
The bodies were abandoned for 14 days
If he were the perpetrator
he would've buried them
Anyway, get some answers
Who he saw, what he saw and why he was here
Everything!
A spider...
*** spiders!
What are you doing up?
It's 4 in the morning
I don't get it
What?
How could a guy be that sexy?
You have good taste in men
So what? Are we really newly-weds?
You work around the clock
I might as well run away
I'm trying to make it to your show in Japan
So I'm pushing it
It's so hard to make a baby!
Want some herb tea?
What woke you up?
It's the show
My first show abroad as a choreographer
I'm just nervous
You always tilt your head
That's what gives you a headache
Don't miss out on swimming
You went only 3 times last month
You must be really tired
Anything bothering you?
No
It's just this dream I had
What dream?
A bad one
Like what?
Dreams turn out the opposite So bad dreams are good
Tell me about it
Promise me you wont get upset
Okay
Right after our honeymoon
you had to go to Japan for the show
So I took a leave from work to go with you
But...
But what?
Director CHOI called me
canceling my leave
Then what?
I went back to work from the airport
You got on the plane
But, due to thick fog
the plane crashed
And you...
You died
I see
That's what happened
What? Bad dreams are good, right?
I'm going to bed
Did it make you that sad?
I don't care if I die before you
But seeing you left all alone
giving up on your life...
It breaks my heart
Don't
Please don't
Please don't do that
What are you talking about? It's just a dream
That's not a dream
It's reality
Eun-ah!
Miss HWANG Su-young?
Guys
this is Su-young
She's new to our station
Hi
pleased to meet you all
And you are?
I'm YOON Hae-eun
Trip Around the World!
- Right - Glad to see you
I'm envious of young people
like Su-young
So full of passion!
A toast!
To the bright future of ambitious female journalists
- Cheers! - Cheers!
You haven't changed a bit
We've met before
Do you remember me?
Excuse me
I'm out of here
Leaving already?
Why don't you stay longer?
Off to meet the ghost?
What an idiot!
The day we met...
We spent the night together
Though I hadn't had sex for a long time
I felt strangely comfortable with her
Since then
she stayed over quite often
Habits are a scary thing
We got used to each other
And a year passed
Here are some examples
Sara and Wasabi are Japanese words
So is Skidashi for appetizers
We mistakenly take them for Korean words
Now you know they're not
This is Proper Expressions I'm HWANG Su-young
You okay?
Have some coffee
Okay, this one!
I got it
Okay, cut it here
Were ***, man!
We have what, 3 minutes?
Air the first 20 minutes
We'll edit the other 20 during the show
Are you nuts?
What do you suggest? Air it like this?
Damn!
You should've finished this yesterday!
- Mr. CHOI will eat us alive! - Okay, okay!
Paste the next cut and insert the CG!
Fine!
That's good Air it
Mystery Theater
The real mystery is here
What were you thinking editing during the show?
Tell you what
Broadcasting is a promise to millions of viewers
What'd I tell you?
If the sword is too short you lunge
If things are tough double your efforts
20 years in the business
I've never seen a ***-up producer like you
This came for you yesterday
I'm sure its about that haunted forest again
Go check it out
There's no hurry Take all the time you have
Catch my drift?
We won't see each other
next season
Listen, ***
A little advice for you
Losers are not those who fail in life
But those without any will to live
Get out!
- Hello? - Feels ***, doesn't it?
Hard to keep yourself from punching that snake, huh?
You miss your dead wife don't you?
I called to see if you got my present
- Who is this? - Don't know?
What a shame!
But that's okay No hard feelings
That thing I sent it belongs to you
If you have a news tip I'll put you through
That girl you had sex with last night...
She has a great curvy body but is as pitiful as you
Who the *** is this?
You've been silent for too long
It's time to act Let your anger out
I hope you like my gift
What the ***!
Who the *** are you?
Hello?
Cool!
Are they us?
Kids refer to buying these as an adoption
- An adoption? - Let me see
Did you go to the hospital?
What for?
For your migraine!
I'm going away on business for a few days
Then I'm leaving the station
How nice of you to share such news with me
Thanks!
You didn't seem to fit in at the station
What are your plans?
I don't know
There isn't much I'm good at
I might make documentaries
for a small studio
Like what?
Well You know what?
North Koreans only have sex with guys on top
- No way - Really!
I heard it from a N Korean defector
50 years of separation and everything’s so different
Won't it be interesting?
You still wanna marry me?
Of course!
Have you thought about it?
Yeah
And the answer is?
I need more time You'll have my answer soon
That was the last night I slept with her
She promised to give me her answer
Her answer to my proposal...
Hope Photo Studio
Excuse me
I'm from the TV station
I'm a producer of Mystery Theater
I'm here to do a story
on the haunted forest
You don't know the show?
The mail had this address
Didn't you send it?
You did?
Good, I'm glad
It's not hard at all
If you want
we can distort your face
and voice on the show
You do passport pictures?
Just tell me the story
If it's interesting enough
it will be aired
Excuse me
Okay
Thanks
Tilt your head a bit to the left
No, the other way
Good
On the count of three
One, two, three
- Your name? - KANG Min
- They'll be ready today? - No
- Tomorrow morning - Okay
You'll give me the story, right?
Sure
Thanks
By the way...
What's your name?
It's MIN Su- in
MIN Su- in?
Okay, I'll be back tomorrow
Hello?
There's a forest nearby
Why do you keep calling me?
Listen carefully
Turn left at the three-way junction ahead
Drive straight and you’ll run into a fork
There you'll see a tunnel Take it
When you get to the forest you wait
- For whom? - HWANG Su-young!
The girl you proposed to
What are you talking about?
She's on her way to the forest
to meet another man
You son of a ***!
I'll trace this call and *** kill you!
Remember her car, right?
Follow it
Try not to get spotted
Aren't you curious?
To know what will happen
and what happened to you?
Answer me one thing
Do I know you?
You sure do
You'll meet me soon
All the secrets and answers are in the forest
Just like you told me
Go to the forest
Now!
I was very hesitant
I didn't know whether I should buy that crank call
Then curiosity got me
If what he said was true?
What if it was true?
Soon
I found myself where he told me to be
We need to talk
Later
HWANG Su-young
Life is war
If the sword is too short you lunge
If things are tough...
...double your efforts
It's war
War!
War!
War...
So they got killed
after you left the forest
Right?
You have no clue
who that caller might be?
Okay
So...
We need to find that girl
from the photo studio
What's her name again?
MIN Su-in
Its MIN Su-in
MIN Su-in
What's wrong? You okay?
Rest for now
This is too much for you
She had flowers
What?
The girl from the studio
She knocked on the window
Holding white flowers...
Your pictures are ready
Thanks
Can you teach me
how to use this machine?
It's just that...
I have a roll to develop
It's kind of private
Adjust the cuts like this
The basic colors are all set
Just push this button
Then push the cut button
and enter
4 minutes later, photos will come out through here
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine
You don't look so good
Where can we do the interview?
Nice pictures
I like old pictures
Did you take them?
No, my father did
I inherited the studio from him
Where's he now?
He passed away long ago
You sure you're okay?
You're feverish
I think it's 24 hour flu
Let me get you some tea
and medicine
Let me...
Hot herb tea will help you with the flu
I dried the leaves myself
I like the scent
Okay, let's get started
Tell me about the forest
Should I start now?
Go ahead
This story is about the past
About this boy
When he just turned 10
his family moved here
His father got transferred to a local primary school
She was fair-skinned with big eyes
He liked her
Hi
But she hardly talked
to anyone
And kids hated her
She lived with her mom
in a big house in the forest
Her father came to see them
only once a month
In town
rumors about him ran wild
Some said he was a spy or a rich man's son
Or a crazy artist
What?
And kids spread rumors
about her mom fooling around
with all the men in town
But the boy didn't care
He still liked her
You missed school yesterday Were you sick?
I got this for you
Thanks
Hush!
That's your mom?
No, not now! Be quiet
Why not?
You can say hi to her after he leaves
Keep your eyes closed
Cover your ears
And...
You shouldn't see
Okay?
The boy...
He let go of her hand
Into the dark night sky
she floated like this
Soon she was gone
Then what?
He returned home and passed out
Next day he came down with a fever
He was sick for a long time
Then...
He lost all his memories
Before long
he left town
and everything was forgotten
But...
I don't know when
But rumors began to spread
that she haunted the forest
I need to polish the story
to air it on TV
So that girl got killed?
By her father?
People believed so
But none saw her body
Let me ask you
That forest...
Is it far?
Yes, but there's a shortcut
Just a second
Let's take a break
My head hurts like hell
Take it
It'll keep the fever down
It's quite bitter
Chew it well and swallow
Don't move
Hold it
Look here
Come on, give me pretty
One more
Now give me elegance
Smile naturally
All right!
It was childish but fun
- Hurry back, baby - Eun-ah!
They're here
Hi!
Should I have it developed?
Some are from our honeymoon
- It's not used up - Right
Finish the roll first
- Okay - Hold this for me
You'd better go now
No, I'm okay I wanna see you leave
- Go on - Bye
Dad...
Have a safe trip
The flight number 757 for Osaka has crashed
It departed earlier at 9:40
and crashed in the mountain around 10:20
The rescue party is at the scene
looking for survivors
However, no survivor has
been reported so far
The exact cause of the crash
isn't known yet
Wait
My cell phone...
Where'd I put it?
Oh, back in my office
Can I use your... No...
To get to the airport now
10 minutes
I Never mind
I will be back
Excuse me Can I get a light?
Thanks
- Oh, you're up - Yes
How do you feel?
Much better My headache is gone
It's amazing
What medicine was it you gave me?
I crumpled cobwebs into a pill
Really?
We can go after lunch
How does abalone soup sound?
Good
Don't worry It happens all the time
It'll soon be moving again
Here
Tied this way it keeps you warmer
You know what?
I feel as if I'd been here before
You do?
Forests are all alike but this one is special
It's called Spider Forest
Spider Forest?
Why is that?
Spirits stay in this forest
What do you mean, spirits?
Forgotten spirits
Ones not loved by anyone
They exist in our world
There's a legend
If nobody loves the spirit
of the deceased
that spirit becomes a spider
and gets trapped forever
in this forest
That's very interesting
But spider-turned spirits...
They don't know they're dead
for all their memories disappear
So those spider-turned spirits
live here forever?
No
If anyone remembers them
the spiders spirits will be freed
That's the legend of Spider Forest
Just a second
Su-in?
Su-in?
Su-in?
Su-in!
Su-young!
You don't remember his face?
No
It was dark and so sudden
I didn't see his face
We should find MIN Su-in
You came to and found your bag gone?
Someone wanted to kill CHOI
And he needed a scapegoat
He knew CHOI was having an affair with Su-young
And he tried to frame you
Who?
Why?
We need to find that out
That photo studio our guys...
Min!
Hey!
If he dies
you don't have a case!
I don't get it
The patient runs away
and a cop interrogates him
Sorry, doc I'm in the wrong
- EB please - Okay
You know what?
Let alone talking
but thinking itself can be fatal for this man
Whether imagining
or bringing back memories
human brains aren't free from bodies
I have to go there
Spider Forest...
I have to go there
Spider Forest...
Spider Forest...
This is out of nowhere It won't be easy
Where's the nearest ski resort?
Over the mountain
See if there's a shortcut
Search around the resort
and the trail leading to it
There should be a small cave
A cave?
He says he got attacked by that cave
and lost his camera bag We gotta find it
The photo studio?
I contacted the local agency
There's no photo studio
registered under MIN Su-in
Have them check again
Tell them to check on the
neighboring areas as well
I already have
EB Ward
Hello?
Detective CHOI!
We got it!
Just like your friend said
Look
It's a sickle Must be the *** weapon
Blood on it too
It's the address of the photo studio
So dusty!
Where does all this dust come from?
There's no point of cleaning
It gets dirty so quickly
What's her name again?
- It's MIN Su-in - Let's see
MIN Su-in
Not in 1980
How about 1981?
MIN Su-in
Oh, right here
MIN Su-in...
It's long time ago
but I remember it clearly
She lived in Spider Forest
It was a tragedy
Murders, right?
What murders? What are you talking about?
Father killed his wife and daughter
What a horrible thing to say!
It's not that
What do you mean?
I investigated the story
I don't know what you heard
I've lived here all my life
If that had happened why wouldn't I know?
Then what happened
to MIN Su-in?
She died from an illness
Back then, many kids died from pneumonia
Not only did she sing well but she was such an artist
Is that true?
I'm old, but not senile
She was my pupil
I even saw her cremated
Was there a boy named KANG Min in the same class?
He transferred in that year
- Detective CHOI - What?
I got the owner of the studio
Who is it?
Its MIN Su-in, right?
No, its KANG Sung-gyu
KANG Sung-gyu?
Who the hell is that?
He died last December
What's his relation to her?
Don't know yet
But...
There's another thing
The son of the dead owner is
KANG Min
- Your friend - What the *** are you saying?
The deed on the studio hasn’t been transferred, though
I've checked the family tree
- Are you sure? - Positive
KANG Min, 32
The address matches his place in Seoul
I tried to stop him
but he just stormed off
Where'd he say he was going?
He asked me to tell you
he was going to the forest
What'd he want from you?
He asked about these kids
It was so long ago
But I still remember watching that teacher leave
He was leaving our school
And his son, KANG Min kept looking back
His father taught here
For about half a year
They lived in the house in the forest
But his wife left him
for another man
After he left school
he opened a photo studio
and raised the kid alone
The boy was so bright
and went to college in Seoul
He brought those pictures
Hey, KANG
What's that for?
Min
We gotta talk
Shut up
Keep your trap shut
- What's wrong with you? - Min!
Drop it!
- Min! - Let go!
Min!
Min, stop it!
Min!
Please! Please!
Let go of my hand! - Min!
- Let go!
Come on, KANG Have you gone insane?
Calm down, and let's...
- Min! - Shut up!
You're screaming my head off!
War?
Yeah, this is a *** war!
A *** war!
Min...
Yeah, its war
It's war, ***!
It's a *** war!
Min, stop it
Please stop!
Button up
Now you remember?
I wanna be forgiven
It's too late
Isn't it?
I wanted to start all over
But it seemed so hard
Please take this off
It's too tight
There's still a chance
For what?
The only chance for you
to get out of this forest
Let me show you something
There's a door at the end of the cave
Open it
There someone's waiting for you
Who?
Someone you’ve been looking for
When you meet him all your secrets will be answered
What secrets?
There are no more secrets
There's one thing you still don't know
Why your memory is so mixed up...
You have to see it yourself
This is your world
Min!
Min!
KANG Min!
Go on
Please remember me
Min!
Sir!
Hang in there
Lost one of your slippers again?
Get well soon so you can play with your mom
