THE UNCANNY COUNTER
CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS
AND OCCUPATIONS ARE FICTITIOUS
We stepped on one. It might be a level three.
Our territory opened up in the north.
He's coming this way.
I can fight against him in our territory.
Look! Our territory is gone!
Cheol-jung! Hang in there!
This is the last day we're mourning for him.
What happened to Wi-gen?
I heard she found this splendid guy and dramatically survived.
-A splendid guy? -He wasn't even in a coma.
She went into this guy who was walking around fine in one piece.
What? He's a high school kid?
I will become a counter.
What would you like, then?
I want to meet my parents.
Yes, that's it.
Ung-min, let's go.
-Give it back! -Nice pass!
Don't look at me like that. You'll die.
Where is she right now?
You've forgotten how to walk properly?
I promised you I'd heal your leg.
Can I put an end to this once I beat you?
Don't ever hit anyone.
And don't ever threaten anyone at school from now on.
Another evil spirit?
Mun got him.
This is unbelievable, Mun.
-What's your dad's name? -His name is Mr. So Gwon.
When I woke up in the hospital,
I found it inside my pocket.
You know who I am.
But you're pretending not to know me.
I hear that you're planning to build a park on my land.
Without my permission.
What did you guys bury in that land?
Did you bury someone?
Kill him?
This old man must know
something about the reservoir to act up like that.
Find out what he knows.
RECENTS
The last person I spoke to…
Did I ask this person to save me?
Or was I trying to tell him something important?
That last call…
was with So Gwon.
Mun's father?
Yes.
But…
for some reason,
his number looks familiar.
I don't recall anything, but his number…
I recognize it.
SO GWON
Hello?
Hey, Mun.
It's me.
Gosh. What's this number?
My old number.
Anyway, is something going on?
No.
Nothing is going on.
How did you handle this phone?
It's all scratched and cracked.
I used to be a detective too.
Really?
Yes.
Just like your mom and dad.
Wow, what are the chances?
Let's open up.
-Is this your first day at work? -Yes.

EPISODE 5
And can you pick this up on your way back?
It has to be that cake.
The apple mango chiffon cake.
Gosh, my dear son!
To what do I owe the pleasure?
APPLE MANGO CHIFFON CAKE
The apple mango chiffon cake, please.
Sure.
How many candles do you need?
It's for a 9-year-old.
One second, please.
-Can you ring me up? -Of course.
Goodbye.
-Honey, I'm home. -Hey.
How long do you plan to live?
You never skip a day of exercise.
How does brunch sound?
Great.
I need to wash up.
Okay. Go ahead.
-No, you can't have that. -What?
I put in peanuts.
Come on.
Sorry.
I'll fix you something next time.
So will you really die if you eat peanuts?
Hey, sometimes you ask the weirdest questions.
Well, I'm just curious.
-At first, I'd cough a little. -Okay.
-And then my throat would swell up. -Okay.
Then, I'd have trouble breathing…
So I…
It'd be tough to…
breathe…
What's wrong?
I can't breathe.
My pills.
Why? Do you feel like you're going to die?
Because of the peanut butter I put in your juice?
Sure. I love you too.
You… No!

-Eat. -What do you want?
Do you want this?
Oh, you like it.
Hey, great work.
Grab a bite in the kitchen and go.
Father.
I made a mistake.
You idiot.
You asshole.
No one asked you to do that.
I'm sorry.
Why did you do it?
I wanted to kill him.
Can you see me?
Who are you?
Stab me.
You like doing that.
You've always wanted to do it.
Who are you?
A friend who knows you very well.
A friend who makes you feel like you can do anything you want.
You finally realized I'm here.
You never noticed before when I called out to you.
The voice in my head.
I thought I was hearing things.
And we killed that jerk together.
That's how we finally got to meet.
That disgusting jerk.
A jerk like him deserves to die. Don't you think?
Right?
He totally deserves to die.
Since when have you been inside me?
Since the day
you killed your first husband.
Don't ever leave me.
You crazy brat.
Thank you. We enjoyed it.
Thank you. Come again.
Gosh. Mun, that poor thing.
One day, he'll find out that his parents were murdered.
How is he going to live with that?
Shouldn't we tell him?
Don't be so rash. Mo-tak said he'll look into it.
Let's tell him after we find something.
After we find the murderer.
That's when. Let's tell him then. Okay?
-You told me not to. -Yes, you're right. We can't.
No, we can't.
Goodness, it's such a dilemma.
Whoa…
It's our territory.
Wow.
My gosh.
EONNI'S NOODLES
You can't do it, Mo-tak.
Forget what's right.
This is a matter of keeping order.
It's about the boundaries and order of afterlife and earth.
Right or wrong,
order or not,
I wouldn't care if this were your business.
Even more so if it were Ha-na's.
Hey, why do you make me seem so cheap?
You only say we're family.
What's he doing?
How is he doing that?
What's he doing?
Hey.
Our territory opened up.
-What's with him? -It just opened up.
Get inside. Go on.
Wait, what's wrong?
-How did you just do that? -Do what?
You touched and played with our territory.
So what?
Am I not supposed to do that?
It's not that we aren't allowed to, we can't.
Is it such a big deal?
So this is why you were specially appointed.
I've never seen our territory shift like that.
I think he can summon the Yung territory.
-Summon? -Summon?
Did you summon the territory
when you fought those kids?
Oh, that day?
How can you summon that? That's nonsense.
Well, I also thought it was kind of weird.
So you really opened up the territory?
I'm not 100 percent sure.
Hey, go get changed.
Let's try this. Come on inside.
Come inside.
Get changed.
Do it.
Mun.
If you can summon the Yung territory at will,
we'll never have to get hurt
or die.
We can pop out those evil spirits like a vending machine
and send them to the afterlife.
So much pressure.
What's "pressure"?
You idiot.
It's all right. It's okay.
Don't feel burdened. Relax.
Relax and try it out.
I'll give it a try.
Was that it?
Who wants ice cream?
Are you kidding me?
I want a popsicle.
I have no idea how I did it.
It's okay. Do you want ice cream?
-Yes. -All right. Let's go, pumpkin.
My gosh. Goodness, you punk.
-I'm sorry. It's a habit. -Why…
-Heal me. -Okay. You'll be fine.
Wait.
-What is this? -That's enough.
We stepped on one.
JUNGJIN DUTY FREE
Jungjin Department Store.
You caught that, too?
Am I right? No way! Man, I caught…
What's its level?
I wouldn't know that.
Level three.
Remember that feeling.
-Three? -Level three?
The one that killed Cheol-jung was level three.
I won't get worked up. I'll do a good job.
We'll have to travel by car.
I hope she shops there for a while.
Get changed.
So level three spirits have two voices?
Yes, the evil spirit and the host can communicate.
We can hear the evil spirit's voice, but ordinary people can't.
At level three, they can use psychokinesis
and read minds.
Some can bewitch people.
Bewitch people?
They make you lose your mind.
They found one in France that could switch hosts.
I learned French as a second language.
I'm just nervous.
Hold yourself together like Ha-na.
Like raindrops falling down quietly at a temple.
I think of pork belly.
The sound of its fat on charcoal.
Pop, crackle.
It calms me down.
You picture pork belly?
We're scared, too, Mun. We get scared every single time.
Our territory isn't there, is it?
No, it's gone.
You don't have to catch her. Don't get hurt.
Pop. Crackle.
-Pop. Crackle. -Crackle.
-Pop. Crackle. -Pop. Crackle.
PARKING ENTRY
I'll take the first floor.
I'll take the third and the fourth. Be careful.
I'll start on the fifth.
Mun, can you really do this alone?
I still feel uneasy.
Did you already forget my fight against the 17 kids?
Evil spirits aren't the same as people.
I have a bad feeling about him.
Come on, don't worry.
Anyway, she was a woman. Is it okay to hit her?
She's not a woman.
She's an evil spirit.
What else do you want?
Pardon?
I wasn't talking to you.
Really?
She wants that necklace.
Pardon?
I was talking to you.
Ma'am.
Emergency at Le Freres Shop, 12th floor.
Over there.
I found her.
What?
Which floor?
Mun, don't do anything.
I'm going down from the 12th floor by elevator.
I'll cut off the camera.
I'm running to the elevator.
She might go to the parking lot, so I'll be there.
Lure her to a place where there are no people.
Safety is our priority.
Who are you?
What?
Are you talking to me?
Why are you following me?
Do you like me?
Oh, no. It's not that.
Then why are you following me?
-Ha-yeong… -Ha-na…
No, please…
How does it feel to have survived all alone?
Your mom died,
your dad died,
and even your sister was about to die.
What?
Wake up, Ha-na!
EMERGENCY STOP
Over there!
In front of the elevator! Over there!
-Jeez, what a hassle. -Over there! In front of the elevator.
Over here! Some help, please.
What?
Yes, this is Mr. Ji Hyeong-u's wife.
Take her away.
-Sir, what's going on? -Yes?
-Are you all right? -I'm fine.
-Sir, please come with us. -I really should.
Yes, all right. Okay.
I really hate leaving a scene like this.
Do you know that feeling?
You're at a restroom trying to do a number two,
but you have to stop.
How does that feel?
How does it feel? Doesn't it feel incomplete? Incomplete.
-Keep up the good work. -That little…
Are you both all right?
Young kids these days are way too weak.
Can you stand on your feet?
Hurry up and get in.
Darn it, I could've summoned it out.
If the kids are fine, that's good enough.
Can we really leave like this?
We couldn't summon the evil spirit.
We have no choice.
There were too many people.
Since she already got arrested,
it won't get too dangerous.
This happens from time to time.
Before we get a chance to summon them, the police arrest them
or they get locked up in prison.
Don't worry.
We know who she is,
so we'll plan this out again.
Ha-na, take a seat.
Let me see your wound.
I'm fine.
What's with her?
Is something going on?
Her pride must be hurt
after taking a blow from a level three.
Mun, you need to pull yourself together.
They'll get you if you lose your focus.
I think I finally understand
what you meant before, Mo-tak.
You told me to increase my threshold.
They both seem odd today.
How does it feel to have survived all alone?
Your mom died,
your dad died,
and even your sister was about to die.
I'll kill you if you tell anyone.
What are you doing?
Just so you know, I'm not good at comforting people.
I've only been comforted. I haven't done it myself.
I didn't ask you to.
I'm just saying.
Why are you grilling meat in here? Go eat out there.
You can just listen to the sound.
I'll do the eating.
But it'd be great if you could join me.
Darn you.
Ha-na.
When I was younger,
there was this jerk who threw rocks at me.
After he threw one,
he'd run away by that much.
He knew I couldn't catch him because of my leg.
He'd keep a pile of rocks in his pocket,
throw one at me, and then run off.
I'd run after him and fall down.
One day, I just kept running after him.
I was going to kill him.
I ended up following him to his house
and putting an end to that punk.
That's not a bad ending.
That's not all.
You got beaten up again, didn't you?
Come on.
Hey, flip it over.
So this is how you like it.
That kid
who threw rocks at me was Ung-min.
Ung-min?
Your friend?
Yes, exactly.
Ha-na.
I also saw my mom and dad pass away before my eyes.
My mom and dad passed away…
because of me.
I needed to spend just one more day at my grandma's place to see them,
but I wouldn't listen.
I said, "I miss you so much.
You have to pick me up."
I threw a huge fit.
That was the day of the accident.
Goodness, you're going to burn these.
Sit.
Come on, kid.
Is it good?
-Hello. -Hello.
Hey.
I'm a little late.
Something came up.
I'm used to seeing you run late.
Seven years is a little too long though.
I'm always on time.
Wasn't I like that before?
You need to remember.
Don't ask me.
A disappearance case isn't for the Violent Crimes Unit.
I wonder why you took this on.
Could she have been killed?
We still haven't found any traces of her to this day, so probably.
Her body was probably put in a car and thrown away.
Let's find her.
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, KIM YEONG-NIM
Let's head over to Kim Yeong-nim's place.
Let me grab something to eat. I'll finish your food.
Was I your immediate senior? You mark the evidence envelope my way.
You forgot the crucial stuff,
but you still remember all the trivial details.
You have a feisty way of talking.
Do you always do that?
My senior didn't teach me properly.
Why was my junior clueless about her senior's case?
You didn't share it with me.
Did I not trust you?
You probably wanted to protect me
because I could've gotten hurt.
That's my take, anyway.
That must be it.
I would've done that.
Look at how he's showing off with his dimples.
How's Su-ryong doing?
How is he? Is he a department head now?
You remember Su-ryong?
I remember things that are very old…
But why?
You're done, right?
You get the check.
Are you okay?

FIFTH NOTICE
NOTICE OF FORCED REAL ESTATE TRANSFER
Someone lived here after Kim Yeong-nim.
They lived here until a year ago.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For not remembering you.
I wonder what we can find here.
Bloodstains never go away.
If they wanted to get rid of it, they would have.
Someone else lived here too.
What are you doing?
No matter how good they are,
they can't clean up every drop.
I'm getting agitated.
I can't believe I let such a sloppy guy stab me.
She was stabbed over seven times.
With something the size of a kitchen knife.
With this much blood,
she probably died here.
Ms. Kim Yeong-nim.
I'm sorry I got here too late.
We were a couple.
You and I.
What?
We were what?
If you find anything about your cases, share it with me.
Don't show up covered in blood like you did seven years ago.
Then did you… Hey, wait!
Have you…
been waiting for me…
for the past seven years?
Not anymore.
Hello?
Yes.
Okay. I'll head over right now.
-A new case? -Yes.
Do you know any blood testing centers?
I can't send this to the NFS.
I do.
I'll text you the number.
Keep up the good work.
"I won't eat you if you give me a rice cake!"
"What should I do?
I've run out of rice cakes."
"What did you say?
If you don't have a rice cake,
I'll eat you, you, you,
and you too!"
I'll eat you!
-Me too! -Eat me too!
Mr. Shin, Chairman Jeon is dead.
Everyone ditched me to go eat,
and that's when this came in.
It's your first case.
Yes.
Who was the initial witness?
It was me. We got a report saying
they heard someone screaming.
This is Kim Jeong-yeong.
It's a murder case.
Please send some people to 49 Hajin-dong.
And, Mr. Kang, can you come and run the postmortem exam yourself?
Yes, it's a special case.
Ms. Kim.
Mom.
Goodness, you're home.
My gosh.
I had a rough day.
-Did you? -Yes.
That's not good.
What's for dinner?
-Kimchi stew. -All right!
You said I was the prettiest before.
No, I lied.
But it's true!
No way!
No?
Fine, I'll tie your hair again.
But it's true. I wasn't lying.
Right? I'm the prettiest.
-Yes. -Okay.
Is anybody here?
-What the… -What's going on? Why? What is it?
I knew you were following me.
What's wrong? Don't cry.
Dan-bi, don't cry. I'm sorry.
Hey. Don't you go to my school?
Have you two been living here?
Did you run away from home?
We won't go to a children's home.
Please don't report us.
Please don't send us to our dad's place.
Don't cry.
Goodness.
Hello, gentlemen.
Get out.
Jeez, man.
-Sang-pil, you should go. -No, wait.
Please leave.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
Hey, man.
Wasn't that too sudden and rude?
Sang-pil, let's go inside. Let's go.
Go inside.
Damn it.
Why did you kill our second boss?
So why did they get into a fight in the first place if they're a crew?
Is that it?
Hey.
Tell him to come and apologize.
I'm not handing it over before then.
Sang-pil, don't be like that.
-Damn you. -Don't do this.
Damn it.
Cheong-sin isn't a kid who usually makes mistakes.
I wanted to kill him.
That horrifying punk.
You can teach him a lesson.
How?
By giving him to the police?
You idiot.
What if he spills our story to the police?
You can get rid of him some other way.
If you can't do it yourself,
use one of our kids.
You don't get any say in how I deal with my crew.
Chief Choi is here.
You two can have a talk.
That cheeky asshole.
REAL ESTATE GIFT DEED
DONOR: JEON GI-HWAN
Right, I need to have this document notarized.
But that old man went six feet under.
Get it notarized.
I can do that with the papers,
but his son will come back to Korea for his funeral.
He's a kid who'll look for the deed
before he visits his dad.
Come to think of it,
this is only good for him.
-He's in the States, right? -Yes, sir.
Lock him up at the airport.
He's a druggie.
Tell the prosecution
and hold him down until we're done with the procedures.
-Yes, sir. -Right.
It looks like we need Chief Choi to make sure…
everything ends smoothly.
He says he's taken action.
Mr. Noh, you better do this right.
The closer is especially important in this case.
Find the best troubleshooter.
Tell him to come in.
We can grab a drink.
EMPTY HOUSE
NO OUTSIDE VEHICLES ALLOWED
-Hey, Mun. -Mo-tak.
Could we let two kids sleep over at our restaurant?
Kids?
They live in a neighborhood that'll be demolished soon.
A neighborhood that's getting demolished? Wolhwa-dong?
-You're here? -What?
Where are you?
-Give me the list. -Yes, sir.
DAJEONG ENC
We have a lot to do. It'll be a busy night.
-Jae-cheol. -Yes, sir.
Let's finish this in three days.
Okay, sir.
He told us to work damn hard.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
-Let's go! -Go.
-Move it, you idiot. -Let's go.
Is your daughter doing well studying abroad?
I'll take good care of Chairman Jeon's case.
Goodness.
All right, now.
You should get a new car for your daughter.
She lives in a dangerous neighborhood.
Have a drink.
You know that you have my trust, right?
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
Take a look outside.
What's going on? Who called the NFS?
Man, is it Kim Jeong-yeong again?
Is it? Guys!
Hey, Jeong-yeong!
Hey, Han-ul, come here.
Wait, you punk!
-Han-ul! -Stop him.
-Darn you! -Han-ul, open the door, punk.
Damn it!
This call cannot be connected…
Chief Choi won't pick up.
Damn it, man.
Han-ul.
They can take this case any minute now.
We need to make sure we get the present condition,
the truth, the facts, and even lies
before they take the case away.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Kim. Did a person…
really do something like this?
You'll soon find out…
that people are the devil.
Wasn't it scary living here all by yourself?
We were fine.
The thugs, right?
We can just pretend like we aren't here for a moment.
Dan-o, I can't poop.
Dan-bi, please!
DAJEONG ENC
Hey, mommy, come on out.
Your kid says she can't poop.
Take your hands off of her.
-What? -Jae-cheol!
Darn it.
Mun, you only got beaten up this afternoon, didn't you?
Man, you're brutally honest.
Darn you!
This is too frustrating.
Who do you think you are?
Hey.
You're their boss, aren't you?
What?
Look at this guy.
Ga…
Mo-tak.
Do you…
know me?
Hey, wait.
I clearly remember seeing you dead.
You already died, you asshole.
For an officer, you're not bad with a knife.
Take that!
You asshole!
He's awfully persistent.
Just get lost, will you?
I'm going to remember
what you look like.
So what if you remember?
You might have hurt me,
but I'm not going to let some thugs take my life.
Hey. Hey, man. Hey.
Get down.
You crazy asshole!
Was it you?
Did you stab me?

An evil spirit? The suspect is an evil spirit?
Let's find him.
It makes sense that Taesin is involved.
Stop glaring at me, will you?
Who's that lady?
-This is my girlfriend. -What?
You said there were other detectives who died.
Were they my parents?
Unleash the memory!
You wanted to forget so you blocked it out.
Is there a problem?
Mun's parents never ascended.
It's him. Mun, we have to get out of here.
You must be that kid.
