THE UNCANNY COUNTER
CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS
AND OCCUPATIONS ARE FICTITIOUS
What will you do now?
I've become even stronger,
and it's now time for you to give up.
Says who?
Who the hell says it's time for me to give up?
Mun.
Let's get that asshole first.
We were both doomed to be alone with no family.
Do we have to finish each other off?
Don't you dare compare me to you!
Damn it.
We've known each other for seven awful years.
It's time to put this behind us, you asshole.
Mun!
-Mun! -No!
Ms. Chu...
Ms. Chu.
Ms. Chu!
Old man.
Ms. Chu.
-Please keep her safe. Mun. -Yes?
-Ms. Chu. -Ha-na needs us.
I'm fine.
-I'm okay. -Are you?
You're still breathing?
I'm summoning…
this evil spirit.
EPISODE 15
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. The staffs…
I'm sorry.
I know
you did your best, given the situation.
It's a shame that the staffs are broken,
but even after the barrier disappeared,
we put up a good fight against Shin.
If we work as a team
and stay as a team,
we can catch him.
We can do this.
You're right.
Ha-na had Baek Hyang-hui summoned,
so we only have Shin Myeong-hwi left.
That's right.
All that's left is the biggest asshole.
And Mun's getting better at using his abilities.
Summoning our territory is a piece of cake now.
The rocks. You all saw him lift them up, right?
This kid has no limits.
Sounds as if his power is yours.
You always point these things out.
But, still, be careful.
It won't be easy to go up against pure evil.
We have five days left.
Before these souls held captive by the evil spirit perish,
we must get this done.
Yes, of course.
We'll make Shin pay for his crimes,
get Mo-tak's revenge,
then summon the evil spirit to save Cheol-jung.
And Mun should get to see his parents too.
Meeting's over. Good work.
Let's go.
-Follow me. -What?
-Come on. -Why?
-Mom. -Yes?
Are you all right after that attack?
I'm totally fine. I was barely injured.
You don't need to worry about me. Just go on home.
Goodness, great work today.
Get plenty of rest so you don't get sick.
You get some rest too.
The old man got home safely too.
It must've taken its toll on him,
being out in the field for the first time in ages.
Yes.
Mun.
You might feel a lot of pressure
as you continue to find all kinds of powers you didn't have.
And because you want to rescue your parents quickly,
you might feel rushed.
But this isn't just your fight.
It's also a task…
for all of us as Counters.
So…
don't put all the pressure on yourself.
Okay.
Come to the training room by six in the morning tomorrow.
Okay.
What?
Hasn't it been a while?
That makes no sense.
Why in the world would I turn myself in
when I should be fleeing abroad?
I didn't say you turned yourself in.
You were sleeping in front of the station.
Yes, so why would a fugitive be sleeping in front of a police station?
I don't remember. I have no recollection at all.
Well, in any case, you're back where you belong.
That's what matters.
Hey, wait.
Then what happened to my face? Who did this?
-Hey! Something is seriously wrong! -Hey!
Be quiet, will you?
Who's this bitch?
Damn you. I'll step on you and break your neck.
He's getting stronger and stronger.
We need to kill him.
We need to kill him
before he gets even stronger.
Mr. Mayor?
Mr. Mayor, it's you.
Mr. Mayor.
PART-TIME JOBS WITH ACCOMMODATION
RESULTS FOR PART-TIME JOBS WITH ACCOMMODATION
You know your dad has changed.
You've seen those eyes too.
I can't believe you invited me in.
This is such a huge honor.
Don't mention it.
Let's go inside.
Sure.
This way, please.
EONNI'S NOODLES
I have to move much faster than I do now
if I want to catch him.
Mun.
Ha-na.
Take a seat.
Oh. I'm fine, really.
I saw my family yesterday.
Baek Hyang-hui strangled me yesterday,
and I saw them…
for a split second.
Ha-na. Hey, Ha-na.
Ha-yeong.
Ha-na.
You have to go back.
Mom.
They're all waiting for you.
Dad.
It might've been a dream.
Normally…
it's tough for me when I'm reminded of my family.
I hate it.
But…
I guess I missed them.
When I got to see them,
it was great.
I'll help you meet them.
I'll make sure you get to say that thing…
you have to tell your parents.
You know, you used to throw people off just for brushing up against you.
-What's going on? -This?
You're doing it again. Man, I'm sick of this.
What?
Love prevails even when people are in the middle of war. Of course.
Stop trying to play Cupid. It'll make things awkward. Man.
Why are you suddenly leaving?
To make breakfast! Happy?
We're here to train.
Let's go.
EONNI'S NOODLES
Goodness.
How can you call yourselves a family?
You should check in with each other.
Keep it down.
Who called this old man here?
Ms. Chu, you have to see a doctor. Why won't you listen to me?
I don't need to see a doctor. Can't you tell?
I'm just suffering from fatigue.
Stop making a fuss and get back to business.
Are you sure you're okay, Ms. Chu?
You heal us when we get sick,
but when you're sick…
there's nothing we can do for you.
-I need to lie down. -Okay, go ahead.
-Come here. -Hey, wait, whoa!
My gosh, hey!
Come here.
Why? What?
Tell us. What else can you do?
You walk, run, and now you can fly.
Wait, did I forget to erase your memories?
I knew it. He's been erasing our memories.
No, I was just mumbling to myself. Don't take it too seriously.
Forget it. Anything we can do to help?
Oh, anything you can do? No.
It feels like you've been out there doing
something amazing with these powers you suddenly got.
I can't believe my friend is a hero. Everything is swell now.
-Get a grip. -Okay.
So anything we can do to help?
Ask away. We're totally ready.
Level two.
Guys, I'm sorry.
It's a level two. Near Jungjin Intersection.
Hi.
What do you want?
You're putting on a good act. Are you an actress?
Which one? The evil spirit or the host?
It's frightening to have you right behind my back.
Hey, your feet stink through your shoes.
I'm busy, so I'll make it quick.
Sir, are you okay?
You must be in shock.
But just one second, please.
Who's this? Are you a Counter?
Wait, who are… A Count… What?
Hey, Mun.
Hey, Mo-tak!
"Mo-tak"?
Sorry. I thought I was still in Singapore.
Mr. Ga,
sir.
Hey, Jeong-gu! Jeong-gu.
Jeong-gu!
Man, Jeong-gu. What's going on? Why are you here? When did you get back?
You two know each other?
-This guy. -Jeong-gu!
What are you doing here?
Why didn't you get here sooner? I sent you a plane.
But you only chartered a plane. You should've sent a limo too.
I took a bus all the way here!
Wait, who's this guy?
Oh, this guy is…
Hey. Who's this?
Peace.
This is Mr. Oh Jeong-gu.
This is Mr. Choi Jang-mul.
Mr. Oh became my new partner after you retired.
I see.
There aren't many Counters who end up retiring, but…
Why not? Because they all die?
What's he saying?
Even after retirement,
your powers and responsibilities as a Counter remain.
So I decided to have a little meeting.
Man, you're going to make me slave away just for bringing me back to life.
Anyway, hey.
My man, I have a question.
I heard the Jangmul Group has been sponsoring Counters.
Is that true?
What?
So it's true!
Yes! This means I won't ever have to worry about money.
I like that about this job.
Wow, listen to this rude punk.
How can this guy be a Counter?
It's tough to find one these days.
Jeong-gu is a special agent who'll be dispatched
to Singapore, Asia's hub.
Dong-pal.
I can already tell how hopeless this kid is.
If you keep working with him,
you'll end up dying before your time is up.
This guy is clueless.
I didn't want to do it.
I have no regrets in this world.
-I'm not doing it. -What a rude little brat.
What will you become when you're older? Where are your manners?
We're both working for the afterlife. It's better to be casual.
Okay. That's that.
-I'd like to make a deal with you. -A deal…
Why don't you have the Jangmul Group release my album?
Hey, Dong-pal.
Don't ever make me sit here again with this brat. Got it?
Why not? You don't like rock music?
I can sing trot songs.
Shush. I'm leaving.
Hey, wait! There will be a huge trot music fad soon!
Stop complaining. Once we're there,
just make sure you heal Ms. Chu.
I should've known something was fishy when you offered to release my album.
Stop the car over there. I'm leaving.
So he's a singer?
A former aspiring singer.
He ran out once or twice to go to an audition
when he was training under me,
but he never made it and came back.
Don't say that. He'll think it's true.
I made it to the final round of the last audition I went to,
but Ms. Chu came for me saying Counters shouldn't become well known.
Said Jeong-gu to Ms. Chu to keep the story straight,
but Ha-na read her mind, so we all found out.
Ha-na looks like she'd be good at keeping her mouth shut.
Anyway, did you two introduce yourselves?
This is the Korean ace, So Mun.
Hello, I'm So Mun.
Oh, you're Cheol-jung's replacement.
And this guy works in Singapore.
He's a Counter.
He can also heal people like Ms. Chu.
Wait, so he's an ace,
but I'm just a Counter?
Drop me off right here. I'm going home.
Just stick around for a bit, Jeong-gu.
I'll promote the heck out of your album.
You'll be a K-pop star.
So just heal Ms. Chu, and…
I'm sorry, but I've been low on energy.
I bleed when I blow my nose.
It'll be faster if you contact the guy in Hong Kong.
Mr. Oh.
I saved your life back there.
What?
He's right.
You almost got beaten to death by that evil spirit,
but Mun saved your ass.
Then you should pay him back for saving you.
Or you can go ahead and die here.
Your choice. Do you want to get beaten to death?
Jeong-gu.
Mun can be scary when he gets mad.
I'm scared.
This place isn't for me.
Man, I'm so out of place.
The rumors were true.
He can control the territory.
So you've heard the rumors about Mun?
Okay.
Relax. I'll get started.
Goodness, that feels much better.
Darn it. I might die.
Goodness, thank you.
So, Mr. Oh.
Yes? What?
Why is your hair still black?
What?
Mae-ok, you should dye your hair. What is that?
I can't believe you came this far to do me this favor.
Of course. I should be here if you aren't well.
Forget that chartered plane. I would've swum here.
Anyway,
will you make me some noodles?
Yes, of course, I will.
A double serving at that.
No, don't do that. I'll get fat.
Make enough for one.
Okay.
Man, I got on the plane and flew here…
to eat these noodles.
It's good.
Sorry.
I couldn't come back right away after hearing Cheol-jung's news.
I heard you've been busy going here and there to provide support.
But we have to summon that evil spirit
and meet Cheol-jung again.
Anyway, thanks for your help, Jeong-gu.
Thanks for making the long trip.
Well, of course, I should be here.
Anyway,
I won't say anything to your team since you asked me not to,
but you know as well as I do what your condition is like.
You won't last long.
You can't be out in the field. You need to rest.
You might die first while trying to save someone.
Such a nag.
I hope you behave and don't get any odd ideas.
So? Will he really help you release your album?
Why would I do that at this age?
I'm leaving on the first flight.
I feel much more refreshed thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
Eat well before your flight.
Goodness, let me get you more soup.
CCTV IN OPERATION
Hyeok-u.
Three exits. The garage, the front and the back gates.
We will
make sure we catch him before it's too late.
I'm ready.
Then let's get going.
How's Hyeok-u doing, Ms. Chu?
He seems quite startled.
He'll calm down in time.
Are you feeling…
I mean, how's your condition?
What do you take me for? Let's head over.
Let's get back before dinner.
Okay.
-Jeong-gu. -Jeong-gu.
What about your flight?
You can stay and make dinner.
I'll go.
What are you talking about?
She just got better,
so I'll go in Mae-ok's place.
Don't you get it, Mo-tak?
Come here.
Why should you go?
I'll tell them everything.
You little…
I didn't feel at peace.
I was worried about you.
And the noodles were great too.
So Mr. Oh, are you sure you'll be okay?
We've fought him a few times, so we know.
But this guy is…
Man.
Mo-tak, will you tell him?
Do I have to get disciplined by a baby who's just started?
That baby is our best guy,
so you better listen.
I've been on a business trip in the Philippines with his team before.
Jeong-gu is pretty good.
He just tries to spare himself too much.
No, I think his talent level is the problem.
He didn't seem all too useful that day.
He didn't seem that good.
He took a blow.
A big one.
Hey. Goodness.
Are you talking about that incident?
When I was still jetlagged from my flight
right after I landed.
Of course, you were jetlagged. There's an hour difference with Singapore.
There's no way you'd be fine.
Goodness, what a pathetic excuse to make to your junior.
Mun, you're good, so just let it slide.
Okay.
Ga Mo-tak is the problem around here. It's that punk.
"Punk"?
You must have missed my punches while you were away.
Stop it.
He has never hit me before. What are you talking about?
I gave you special treatment.
Anyway, let's make this work.
Okay. Let's do this.
I'm a bit nervous, though.
You're up.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
So you're Mun's friend, right?
You must be hungry.
I'll make you some noodles.
Thank you.
That happens once in a blue moon.
Something seems weird. I can't detect anything.
Has he run off already?
It is what it is. Let's come back later.
Jeong-gu.
The house is a ways away.
Our territory may not be there.
Let's try going in.
Mo-tak.
Is he here?
Be quiet.
Damn it.
Why won't he move?
Something's weird.
I can't detect the evil spirit.
What?
Shin Myeong-hwi's dead?
He's not dead either.
He's still breathing softly.
-The restaurant. -No way.
-There's an evil spirit at the restaurant. -What?
-Ms. Chu. Ms. Chu?
-She won't answer. -She's in danger!
It went into Hyeok-u. Hurry.
Wait.
Even if the evil spirit changed hosts…
there has to be a reason why it left him alive.
-What? -The evil spirit…
might return to him.
-Then… -Ha-na.
We'll wait here.
If the evil spirit ends up returning to Shin Myeong-hwi…
I'll finish him.
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
Most people say it's good.
I hope they're doing okay.
Where is everyone?
Oh, they had something to take care of.
Did they head over to kill my dad?
Hyeok-u.
He deserves to die.
A guy like him should die.
But there's no use in killing him now.
What?
Weren't you all looking for me?
You.
Please spare me, Dad.
I told you we should've killed him.
Wait.
Let's use him…
and kill them one after the other.
Fine.
Let's do this.
Come at me, you evil spirit.
You…
Ms. Chu.
You cowardly evil spirit.
I'll kill you!
Come out. Come out of Hyeok-u's body, you damned evil spirit!
Mo-tak, he escaped again.
How's Ms. Chu?
Thankfully, she's fine.
It's time!
I'm summoning this evil spirit.
That blow completely woke me up.
Jeong-gu.
He's at the final level. They're completely united.
Spare yourself as you always do and get behind me.
Come on, don't make me lose my spirit.
I never back out.
You stay behind me.
Come on.
Damn it.
Did you say you wanted to end our seven awful years?
Then is this the end?
I'm the one…
who's going to put an end to this, asshole.
Mo-tak! Our territory is disappearing.
We have to run. It's way too dangerous!
Hurry!
Mo-tak!
Mo-tak, are you okay?
Hey, what is it? What's wrong?
Jeong-gu. Jeong-gu!
Jeong-gu!
Jeong-gu, it's okay.
Jeong-gu.
Come on, man...
Jeong-gu.
I'm…
I'm disappearing. Aren't I, Wi-gen?
Jeong-gu.
Stay with me. Stay with me just a bit longer.
Mo-tak.
I feel so bad for Dong-pal.
Jang-mul once said Dong-pal would die early because of me.
Hey, man. Stop talking.
You have to make your album too, kid.
Yes, I'll release an album.
I'm on top of the world
With people who love me
Stay still. Stop singing and stay still.
Stop singing.
Jeong-gu.
Hey, Jeong-gu. Jeong-gu!
Hey, man. Keep singing. Just sing, you punk.
Jeong-gu.
Wi-gen.
What happens after Yung?
Jeong-gu.
Mun, summon our territory.
We need it now.
Although we can't see him, I'm sure his partner from Yung is here.
We need our territory. Without it, his partner…
Jeong-gu!
Mr. Oh.
I'm sorry.
I can't… I can't breathe.
It's my fault.
It's… It's my…
Wi-gen, how did you survive this?
What's going on?
What in the world...
Don't die.
Not a single one of you.
Mun.
I don't want…
anyone to die from this moment on.
What…
What's going on?
I'm alive. I'm alive!
I'm alive.
It wasn't just me.
He's a little door for us.
He's a bridge between…
the world and Yung.
EONNI'S NOODLES
I was a detective…
then a Counter.
I've seen numbers of people die.
But how is this…
never easy for me?
Not even once.
Mo-tak.
I thought Cheol-jung would be the last one.
But then there was Jeong-yeong and Jeong-gu...
Once you finish that…
go and get some rest.
Jeong-gu…
saved me…
then left the world.
He ended up doing that.
How will I ever repay him?
Jeong-gu has arrived safely at Yung.
He's been wanting to rest, so he said it's great.
Also, you shouldn't get any weird ideas.
That's what he said.
Shin Myeong-hwi…
and that evil spirit.
I'm catching them.
I'll make sure I catch them…
if it's the last thing I do.
No matter what.
POLICE
Listen up, Son.
I don't care who it is.
If anyone tries to stop me, I'll kill them all.
So…
if it's too tough to cause no trouble at school…
let me know now.
I'll take it to your room.
Sure.
I'm sorry. Please let me out.
I'm sorry, Dad.
You must have a lot of memories…
you wanted to forget.
What...
You're up.
What is this?
Why was I asleep in this shithole?
Come on out. Let's eat.
Have you gone insane? Why would I eat with you?
Is your friend up too?
Mun, I'm done making breakfast.
Come on out.
Hey, grab a seat.
All right.
It's his first time here, right?
It is.
Hello.
Gosh, you're handsome.
Let's eat, then.
Let's eat.
Eat up.
Grandpa, this looks great.
-Grandma, eat up. -What? Okay.
-You too, Grandpa. -What?
You eat the big piece.
You can stay longer.
What the heck are you doing?
You came to see me.
Do you seriously think I brought you here?
I don't know what happened…
but leave me alone.
Got a place to go?
Hey, don't you know who I am?
My house can't be compared to this place.
Worry about yourself.
You don't want to go back to that awesome house.
You don't want to see your father.
What do you know?
That's why you came here yesterday.
You needed to stay somewhere away from your father.
Thanks for coming.
Only because you asked me for help.
You know his family runs a vacation villa, right?
If you need a place to stay, you can stay there for a while.
Today is the last day.
Don't strain yourself…
and stay calm.
I will make sure I summon that evil spirit.
Ms. Chu, will you be all right?
Don't say that.
Do you expect me to back out after Jeong-gu died like that?
I can't do that.
We all promised Mun…
that we'd help him see his parents.
You're right.
We have to make him smile.
And I owe one to Detective So Gwon.
STRIKE AGAINST DEMOLITION
That looks perfect.
Sorry?
It's time to put an end to this…
-for both you and me. -For both you and me.
Do you realize who I am now?
Who are you? What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I must have fallen asleep. Sorry.
Something like that happened?
This is where Shin Myeong-hwi wanted to meet.
It's near my grandparents' church, so I know the area.
The former residents recently moved out for the redevelopment.
If we stay in the grounds,
no one else will get hurt.
And look.
Let's make sure we win today.
Let's meet your parents today, Mun.
Anyway, Mun's a big boy now.
In the past, he would've thrown a fit
then left to fight him alone without telling us.
Not just that. He would've been gone by now.
I've grown a bit, haven't I?
Okay, then. Shall we get going?
Let's go.
Old man, you can stay here.
What are you talking about?
I need to be there to protect Ms. Chu.
We need…
someone who can…
welcome the new Counters.
What is this guy talking about?
Wait here.
Once I get back…
we can go for a drive or whatever.
Gosh, Ms. Chu.
Why don't we take a picture?
A picture sounds good.
STRIKE AGAINST DEMOLITION
STOP THE DEMOLITION RIGHT AWAY!
REVEAL THE TRUTH AND PUNISH ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE
I won't let anyone get hurt.
I won't let anyone die.
I will make sure I protect everyone.
As long as evil spirits prevail…
more people will continue to lose the ones they love.
More people will experience sorrow.
I will make sure I win today.
So I'll see you today.
Mom.
Dad.

THE UNCANNY COUNTER
In the very end, we may not be with you.
You thought you could handle me when you were this weak?
Get up and fight, no matter what.
Is this some kind of system error?
-Let's try one more time. -How...
Then this must be…
How long has it been?
Will Mun's parents recognize Mun? He's 18 now, you know.
Thank you.
No problem.
