THE UNCANNY COUNTER 2
EPISODE 11
Why are you suddenly confessing to everything?
A word, please.
Because I…
had to find you.
-It's Ma Ju-seok! -That's him?
Ma Ju-seok.
I'm pregnant, so please don't kill me!
-No! -No!
No!
Congratulations.
You've finally discovered the truth.
Yes. It was me.
I am responsible for the deaths
of your wife and baby.
So all this time, that rage of yours…
should've been directed at me.
Die.
Yes. That's it, Ma Ju-seok.
I will live inside you…
forever.
-We can't wait. -It disappeared.
-What? -What disappeared?
His smell?
I swear I smelled two different evil spirits.
Hwang Pil-gwang…
No. Ma Ju-seok…
Wait. They both disappeared--
This smell…
Jeok-bong, are you okay?
I can't breathe!
Where are you going?
Wait.
Does Ma Ju-seok…
no longer exist now?
Yes, run away.
Run.
Ma Ju-seok killed Hwang Pil-gwang after all.
That evil spirit.
That bastard provoked Mr. Ma.
Hwang Pil-gwang?
Why did he want Mr. Ma to kill him?
Hwang Pil-gwang didn't die.
He sacrificed his body to enter Ma Ju-seok's.
He took control of Ma Ju-seok's power.
And what about Ma Ju-seok?
Ma Ju-seok's soul has been consumed by Hwang Pil-gwang's evil spirit.
So he has the body of Ma Ju-seok but the soul of Hwang Pil-gwang.
-That's what the Yung people call-- -A complete evil spirit.
That's what he has become now.
Hold on. What exactly is a complete evil spirit?
How strong is he exactly?
That smell…
That was…
How do I put it?
The smell was so strong I couldn't even breathe.
Not only can the evil spirit use the power of the territory,
but it can also hide itself in it.
Does that mean we can't catch it with the territory?
What's even more dangerous is that a complete evil spirit
can find the Counters through the territory.
That means…
they're no longer the ones who need to avoid the territory.
It's us.
Unless you're fully prepared,
the territory is now dangerous.
If we can't use the territory, is there another way?
There must be another way to summon it.
Summoning it…
is meaningless now.
What do you mean?
For the Yung, there's only one rule regarding a complete evil spirit.
He should be…
eliminated on sight.
Eliminated?
You want us to kill him? Wi-gen!
Now that a complete evil spirit has emerged,
things have changed completely.
The Yung is not ordering you to summon the complete evil spirit.
Your order is to eliminate him.
They want you to kill him, not summon him?
Yes.
Oh, dear.
In that case, forget about Ma Ju-seok for a second.
What about all the souls inside him?
Will they all disappear along with him?
I promised Ms. So that I'd save Papa.
Who knew I wouldn't be able to keep my word?
Ma Ju-seok only killed Mr. Park and Hwang Pil-gwang.
But the problem is Hwang Pil-gwang.
He took too many innocent lives.
We can't do this.
Our job isn't only to catch the evil spirits.
It's also to return the trapped, innocent souls back to Yung.
You're right.
That is our job as well.
But Ma Ju-seok right now…
No.
If we fail to stop Hwang Pil-gwang, there will be more innocent victims.
That's the truth.
I agree.
The hell Hwang Pil-gwang created has already begun.
Those at the broadcasting station and many other innocent people
have already become his victims.
Yes, we must stop Hwang Pil-gwang at all costs.
But maybe there's another way.
We should try our best to save those souls inside him.
Another way?
Do you really believe that?
Trying to persuade Ma Ju-seok was our last chance to summon him.
However,
we failed to do that.
It's a pity for all those trapped souls, but we can't take any more risks.
Okay?
Chairman Choi, we need some weapons.
All right.
Are you seriously giving up on trying to summon him?
Mun! We're not giving up. This is a choice!
We're at a dead end!
It's also our job to prepare ourselves for the worst.
So this is it.
This incredible power.
Finally…
this power has met its rightful owner.
All right.
Come at me, Mun.
With these uncanny powers…
I will end your life.
Hello, this is Jungjin Police Station.
No, this is a police station. We're not a restaurant.
-God, this is driving me crazy. -Why are you all cranky again?
The caller said he was Ma Ju-seok.
Damn it.
He said he'd turn himself in if we feed him.
Does everyone think this is a joke?
Many people want to help, like a relative of one of Mr. Ma's former classmates.
Doesn't that mean they're pretty much strangers?
Forget it. Do we have any useful information?
We don't know for sure.
Everyone around the country is claiming to have seen him.
Don't ignore any report.
Some of them could be risking their lives to give us information.
-Let's go. -Sorry?
-Let's verify the reports. -Right.
Don't overlook any of them.
Mun.
This is where he was last seen before going to the broadcasting station.
He was near the hospital where we were.
He was fighting the evil spirit and wanted to see us.
We could've succeeded had I moved a bit faster.
What's done is done.
You did your best.
I know how he feels.
When I met my parents in Yung…
Do you really think…
Ma Ju-seok became a complete evil spirit?
-What? -We didn't even know he was swayed.
What if we still don't understand what's going on with him right now?
What if Hwang Pil-gwang hasn't completely consumed him yet?
Mun, even the Yung people said that the evil spirit consumed him--
But they don't know that.
There's no way to know,
unless we see inside his mind.
Don't tell me
that you're thinking about doing that.
We could still have a chance. I need to check for myself.
I can't give up like this. Please help me.
Mun.
Please.
We need the territory.
He will find you through the territory.
Mr. Ma.
You see,
this wasn't my body of choice.
But I guess I'm content with the power I've acquired.
It's you.
Hwang Pil-gwang.
Have you finally recognized me?
Mr. Ma!
Mr. Ma, where are you?
Mr. Ma!
Watch out!
How dare you come in here?
Mun, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
Mun, you need to leave!
Right now!
Get out right now, Mun!
Mun.
Are you okay?
It was definitely Mr. Ma.
He warned me and helped me get out of the evil spirit's mind.
Are you sure it was him who helped you?
You need to be careful, Mun.
You were in serious danger. You almost died.
You could've been trapped in there forever.
I'm sure of it.
How could I not recognize his voice?
Now, we have hope.
It won't be easy,
but if Mr. Ma helps us and fights the evil spirit from within,
then there will be a way to summon Hwang Pil-gwang.
If it's true…
that the soul of Ma Ju-seok still remains,
then it could be possible to summon the evil spirit.
However,
we'd be taking a huge risk for such a small possibility.
Therefore,
Yung's previous decision
still stands.
Ma Ju-seok has to be eliminated.
Wi-gen.
None of the reports were useful.
Do you really think that Ma Ju-seok became a monster?
I felt bad when I saw him.
Maybe he wouldn't have become so resentful had we caught those scammers sooner.
I know that I shouldn't say this as a detective,
but having a fiancée myself,
I can understand the rage and pain he must've felt to become like that.
But the idea of facing him again frightens me a bit to be honest.
Me too.
I'm also…
scared and regretful.
But don't you think he's the one who regrets this situation the most?
The Ma Ju-seok I know probably wants someone
to stop the monster he has become.
When is it?
-Sorry? -Where's my invitation to your wedding?
I know things are hectic now, but you still have time to invite me.
How did you know?
How? Everyone is bogged down with work,
but you keep opening and closing your desk drawer. Surely everyone noticed.
You just didn't realize.
I actually wanted you to be the first to get one,
-so I brought it. -Give it to me already.
-But you're driving. -Let me see it.
WITH THEIR FAMILY KANG HAN-UL, KIM YUN-JI
-It looks nice. -Right?
The next report came from somewhere nearby.
Is this it?
Yes.
Isn't this Baekdu Planning & Construction's office?
BAEKDU PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
-Han-ul. -Yes, sir.
Call for backup and wait outside.
Sorry?
Wait outside, okay?
Yes, sir.
Mo-tak.
What are you doing here? I told you to wait outside.
There's a dead body.
There's a dead body over there.
What are you talking about?
Damn it. We have no time to joke around.
What's wrong with you?
-There's a dead body. -No!
What's the matter with you?
Snap out of it!
What a shame.
It was so close.
You're pretty quick.
Run!
Mo-tak!
What took you so long?
I'm sure a lot of people reported seeing me.
Ma Ju-seok.
Damn it!
You think I'm Ma Ju-seok too?
This is starting to hurt my feelings. I even changed my look.
Is no one happy to see me?
You look so miserable with that gun.
Mo-tak.
What's going on?
Die.
You evil spirit!
What?
Damn it.
This is no fun.
I'm sure I'll have more fun with Mun, right?
Our previous encounter was too short.
All right.
Then let me find out
where you vermin are hiding.
No.
I won't tell anything to an evil spirit.
Is that so?
Gi-ran…
Do forgive me.
No!
Han-ul!
No! Han-ul!
No, Mo-tak.
You need to stop.
You'll expose the Counters and let the evil spirit grow stronger.
There will be more victims!
It's too late.
You need to get out of there and save yourself.
Hurry, Mo-tak!
Ga Mo-tak!
What did you do?
What--
-Mo-tak! -Mo-tak!
Mo-tak!
Mo-tak.
Mo-tak, are you okay?
What are you doing?
What happened?
I ran into Ma Ju-seok.
You ran into him?
Let me treat you first, okay?
-Mo-tak. -No, Mo-tak.
Move, Mun.
Why are you doing this?
I said move!
Don't do this. We still have a chance.
A chance?
I definitely heard him today. Mr. Ma's conscience was still inside him.
It was definitely his voice.
He saved me from Hwang Pil-gwang, so we still have a chance.
We can summon him and save everyone.
You might've gotten out of there because Mr. Ma helped you.
That's enough!
Please, just stop!
Are you still determined to save him?
Are you?
Do you know what that evil spirit has done, you bastard?
We must save him. Why are you giving up when there's a way?
We can summon him and save everyone!
How can we give up on him?
That's enough, Mun! What's the matter with you two?
Why are you fighting?
Fight the evil spirits, not each other!
Han-ul!
Han-ul…
died.
What?
That scumbag…
killed…
Han-ul.
He…
He didn't even hesitate. He killed Han-ul as if he was nothing.
He just…
He just killed him.
But…
what did you say?
We still have what?
What more can we do?
Why can't you give up? Why?
How many more deaths do you need, God damn it!
Now…
I'll do it my way.
I will…
I will kill him.
Mo-tak.
Mo-tak!
KANG HAN-UL, KIM YUN-JI
What are you doing? Why are you here?
Let's go. You can't catch him alone.
He's gone. This place is empty.
Where could he be?
Han-ul's body disappeared.
JANGMUL NURSING HOME
I need to ask you something.
Is my son…
dead?
Sorry?
Why would you ask me that?
They removed all the TVs here. There are no newspapers either.
They said it was Chairman Choi's orders.
So I was wondering if it was because of me.
I was wondering if something happened to Ju-seok.
No, it's not like that.
But perhaps,
that's all for the best.
I shouldn't say this as his mother…
but I wish Ju-seok…
could meet Min-ji in heaven and be happy.
I can take responsibility
for all his wrongdoings.
If only that were possible…
Ma'am.
If he dies,
please come and tell me yourself.
That way, at least I'd feel a bit better.
I promise to repay you.
I will protect you no matter what.
I'm going to be a father soon.
-Oh, my God! That's amazing! -Hey.
Ms. Lee is pregnant!
-Oh, my goodness! -He's going to be a dad!
Mun, you shouldn't have let him go…
Mun!
…like that today.
Let's not give up.
I won't give up…
on you either.
How many more deaths do you need, God damn it!
I will kill him.
This is pointless if you ask me.
Even if he steps into our territory, it'll be hard to catch him.
He knows the territory better than we do.
That's why I have a plan.
What if we enter the territory first?
We can wait there and lure him in, just like he did to us.
Once he sets his foot inside…
I'm against killing him.
We should summon him.
Who can summon complete evil spirits if not us?
Evil spirits will keep getting stronger. We can't kill them every time.
We need to succeed for Yung to change their rules.
Then…
why did you come with me?
I would've done that with anyone who left the way you did.
What?
No one should be alone.
Whether it's Mun when he was in a coma
or you who left our hideout like that.
I don't want any of you to be alone.
You said we were family.
I guess only I took that seriously.
Ga Mo-tak speaking.
Where?
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER
His name is Kang Han-ul.
He…
A man in his twenties found unconscious in Jungjin-dong.
Han-ul.
Mo-tak.
Han-ul.
-There's a dead body… -No!
Han-ul!
You need to live.
You can.
Hang in there a bit longer.
This can't be.
Mun was right.
That was Ma Ju-seok.
He saved him.
Add a bit of this.
Are Mo-tak and Ha-na really coming back?
I'm telling you.
Ha-na secretly told me so a while ago.
Jeok-bong, call Ha-na. I need to cook the noodles on time.
Mo-tak hates soggy noodles.
-That rascal. -All right.
You're a complete evil spirit? You're dead meat.
Darn it.
Ha-na, where--
-Jeok-bong, what's wrong? -Jeok-bong!
Jeok-bong, what's wrong?
Jeok-bong!
This smell…
This smell… It's Ma Ju-seok.
Ma Ju-seok?
He's around here?
No.
Not there.
Here!
Mun.
-Ma Ju-seok is at our hideout. -What do you mean?
Ms. Chu, Jeok-bong, and Chairman Choi are in danger.
Understood. I'm on my way.
Are you all hiding?
Hang in there a bit longer.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, Ma Ju-seok?
Are you seriously doing this just to save that worthless human?
Go.
No. Don't let him go, Ma Ju-seok!
How am I supposed to take this?
Leave.
I said get out.
Get out of my body.
Leave!
All you can do is shout.
But this is what…
I can do.
No.
Sadly,
your merciful god is dead.
No!
Poor you.
You can never escape.
Let's see where you guys are hiding.
I see. That's where you've been hiding.
You already knew…
where Mun was.
Right?
In that case,
you're dead if I find you.
Come out, come out
Wherever you are
We can't do this.
At this rate, he'll consume us all.
We should wait until Mun comes--
We can't wait for him.
Forget about me.
He'll grow even stronger if he consumes your powers.
And that means Mun will have to deal with an even stronger evil spirit.
Since things have come to this, let's just…
take care of this ourselves.
How?
Jeok-bong.
Yes?
There's a pillar marked A3 in that storage room.
There is an air vent at the base of it.
Move the hatch to the side and you'll see an LED board.
That is a self-destruct mechanism.
-What? -Don't be alarmed and listen carefully.
Place your hand on it.
Then a drawer will pop out and you'll see a red button.
When did you build that?
I built it just in case we needed it, like we do now.
Only Mun and I know about it.
This entire place will be destroyed once that goes off.
Nothing will survive that.
While I distract Ma Ju-seok, you go and press that red button.
Before the firewall comes down, take Ms. Chu with you
and get out of here.
What are you saying? What about you?
This is the least I can do as the eldest, don't you think?
Jang-mul.
Ma Ju-seok!
I caught one.
Jeok-bong, make sure you take Ms. Chu with you!
Two.
What are you doing?
Why can't you guys just stay still?
I'm not even after any of you.
Let him go.
I'm the one you want, so let him go.
-Mun. -Mun…
You're finally here.
You don't belong here. And that body doesn't belong to you either.
I was expecting to find the territory.
Where could it be?
I see.
Are you not summoning it in case I grow stronger?
There's no territory for you, you bastard!
You're wrong.
Your territory, this body,
and even your power belong to me now.
Mun!
You annoying little pests.
No!
Mun.
There's no way to beat him right now. Take everyone and get out of there!
You're right.
Maybe there's no way to beat him.
That's why I can't let him survive.
-Ms. Chu! -Now's the time! Hurry and get out!
Chairman Choi!
Hurry and run!
Ms. Chu!
Ms. Chu.
-Ms. Chu! -Ms. Chu!
Get in Ms. Chu!
-Mun! -Mun!
No, Mun!
What? Mun!
-Mun! -Mun!
-What are you doing?
I'll end this fight.
Thank you for everything.
No, you can't do it alone.
Mun!
No!
You want to kill us both?
That's enough time to kill you, consume your power and get out of here.
This is the end…
for both of us.
You're wrong.
This is the end for you
and the beginning for me.
Mun!
How dare you set foot in here?
Mun, are you okay?
Mun!
Mun, you were right.
Inside that evil spirit,
Ma Ju-seok is still alive.
Mun, change of plans.
We're not killing him.
We're summoning him.
Everyone,
we have four minutes left.
That's enough, right?
Of course.
It's enough.
Because from the start…
I never once…
gave up on him.
THE UNCANNY COUNTER 2
Because from the start…
I never once gave up on him.
You think you can handle it?
-Go into Ma Ju-seok's mind! -I can't!
Do you think we can't keep you safe?
We'll try to buy as much time as possible!
You can die together.
Please, Mr. Ma.
Please help me.
I will never give up on you.
