REVENANT
THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
[♪ ominous music]
This is the last of the five objects.
I think we found…
something we shouldn't have.
I need to find Ms. Sanyeong.

FINAL EPISODE
[Semi] Thank you.
Will you be all right?
You should stay at the hospital for a few days.
The doctor said I was fine.
I have this café as well.
[Gyeongmun] That coffee machine cost an arm and a leg.
[switch clicks]
[exhales heavily]
Ms. Yoon, you should go home first.
I'll clean up here.
It's okay.
Go home first. You have work tomorrow.
[sighs]
Ms. Yoon. Ms. Yoon.
Ms. Yoon, let me.
-Please go home. -[breathing heavily]
Ms. Yoon. Are you okay?
-[hurried footsteps approaching] -[Sanyeong] Mom.
[♪ pensive music]
Mom.
It's me.
[breathing heavily]
I'm back.
[Sanyeong sobs]
[breathing heavily]
Mom.
You must have had a really difficult time.
But it's all over now.
Everything…
will be okay now.
What if she's not home either?
We'll go to all the places she could be.
[tires screech]
[♪ music fades]
[Hongsae] What is it?
Is something wrong?
Her shadow has returned.
[♪ somber music]
Sanyeong, are you okay?
Where were you? You didn't even come by the hospital.
I had to take care of something.
Semi.
Thank you for everything. [breathing heavily]
It's getting late. You should go home.
[breathing heavily]
Mom, wait here.
[gasps] Are you okay?
[breathing heavily]
Ms. Sanyeong?
Yes.
It's me, Gu Sanyeong.
[exhales deeply, inhales sharply]
What did you mean on the phone?
You told me not to look for the body.
After hanging up,
I was out of it for a bit…
before regaining consciousness.
[breathing heavily]
Then I realized my shadow was back.
[Sanyeong] Do you see it too?
Yes, I do.
It's all over now, right?
Isn't it?
Take it.
[♪ ominous music]
[Sanyeong] What is this?
We found it next to the body.
[Hongsae] Do you see anything?
No.
I don't see anything.
That was the last of the five objects.
But we didn't seal the objects yet.
Why did your shadow return?
[Sanyeong] I'm not sure.
Professor Yeom.
Please take care of this too.
Then everything will be over.
Please.
[♪ music fades]
Thank you for dropping us off.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
Let's go, Mom.
[gate opens]
[gate closes]
[door lock beeps]
[door opens]
You told me before
that the evil spirit was left-handed.
She took the hairpin with her right hand.
Did the evil spirit really disappear?
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
VICE-PRESIDENT KIM CHIWON
Hello?
[Chiwon over phone] Your grandmother passed away.
She committed suicide.
She leaped from her hospital room.
What?
[camera shutter clicks]
[♪ somber music]
[panting]
Hello, I'm VCI Detective Lee Hongsae from Seoul Metropolitan Police.
May I speak to the detective in charge?
Where is she?
MORGUE
[♪ somber music continues]
[Haesang] Did you do it?
[Chiwon] Yes.
It was me.
[Chiwon] I opened the door.
[♪ somber music continues]
Haesang, what's wrong?
[Haesang] She must be around here somewhere.
Someone as cruel and cold-hearted as her couldn't have possibly left this easily.
I'm sure she's roaming around here as a ghost.
[Chiwon] Haesang.
Your grandmother is dead.
[shouts] Why?
She should've at least apologized. [breathes shakily]
To me.
To all of us.
She should've said sorry for what she has done.
[breathes heavily]
[Haesang breathes heavily]
I wanted you to break free from her and live your life.
That's why I told you the truth about Ujin's death.
But why did you do it?
[♪ pensive music]
You're not someone like her.
How will you endure the guilt of becoming a murderer?
[sighs]
[detective] We'll need further investigation,
but it doesn't seem like suicide.
She had been tied to the bed before leaping to her death.
Someone must have aided or abetted her suicide.
Any suspects?
Two people visited her right before she died.
The vice-president of Junghyeon Capital and a young woman.
The former left the room immediately.
But the woman remained until the victim's death.
[♪ suspenseful music]
I'll let you know if we find any leads.
Okay. Thank you.
And thank you for sending Munchun off.
-No problem. -[camera shutter clicking]
[♪ suspenseful music continues]

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT
[metallic rattling]
They must be taking her
to the NFS.
Yes.
They're carrying out an autopsy.
[sighs]
The detectives don't believe that this was suicide.
[Hongsae] Sanyeong was in the room when the victim committed suicide.
Whether it's for aiding and abetting or for murder,
she will take the fall.
This is all because of the evil spirit.
I need to get rid of…
those five objects once and for all.
It's not over yet, is it?
The evil spirit used me to find its body
and the jade hairpin, the last object.
There must be…
a secret we missed.
[♪ eerie music]
[♪ music fades]
[♪ ominous music]
[door opens]
Are you up?
Let's eat.
[Sanyeong] What's wrong?
Are you still not feeling well?
All the more reason you shouldn't skip your meals.
[Sanyeong] That way, you can have your medicine.
It's all cold.
Where did you put our photos?
Mom, let's…
Let's start afresh.
[Sanyeong] Let's forget all the pain we went through.
Let's go to places we've never been
and experience new things.
Let's live happily like that.
We'll take new photos
and replace the old ones.
I've given this some thought. Hmm…
I'm thinking about pursuing my dream
of becoming an artist.
I'll study really hard.
Once I become a famous artist,
you'll be able to live…
a comfortable life.
Doesn't that sound nice?
Are you going…
to draw that moon?

[soft chuckle]
We'll talk again next time. Let's eat first.
Mom, you know how hard-working I am. Right?
[spoon clatters]
[Sanyeong grunts]
I'm going to work really hard so that we don't have to live in poverty
like we did before.
So help me out.
Here.
Who…
are you?
[♪ ominous music]
Mom.
[sobs]
I love you.
So why don't you love me back?
[sobs]
You're my mom.
Then I should be the sole person
you care for, think about, and love!
No, you're not my daughter.
[breathes shakily]
[Gyeongmun] You're not.
[♪ tense music]
Do you also want that brat to live and for me to die?
I don't need you…
if you're also that type of mom.
[♪ ominous music]
[breathes heavily]
[Haesang] The rooftop of a building.
In the past, it was the roof of a house.
They used to let smoke rise from the roof
and send out bad luck to the skies.
[♪ eerie music]
[clock ticking]
[Sanyeong] What time is it?
I must be crazy!
What have I been doing?
[panting]
Mom!
I'm going to my part-time job!
Mom!

[Sanyeong] Are you unwell?
Are you okay?

FLOWER SHOP PESTICIDE
It can't be.

[seat belt clicks]
[♪ tense music]
[car door closes]
[♪ music fades]
Are you scared?
Then why did you open the door?
Because I wanted to check…
if you were Sanyeong or not.
Is that…
really that important?
Enough to risk your life?
It is for me.
Also…
I don't think I'll have to risk my life.
I was awfully curious about what you were up to today.
But now I know.
[Hongsae] Potassium cyanide is used for plating in jewelry stores.
They call it "cyanide" for short.
It's lethal to humans.
The pesticides in flower shops
and antifreeze in car repair shops.
These substances are all used for poisoning.
ANTIFREEZE
The real Sanyeong…
would've been uninterested in them.
[♪ pensive music]
[Hongsae] Who are you trying to kill this time?
Sanyeong's mother?
For the insurance money?
What'll you do if I tell you?
You can't stop me, mister.
Just like last time…
when that geezer of a detective fell to his death.
Why has your modus operandi changed?
You never…
directly killed Detective Seo
or the other victims.
So why are you trying to poison her now?
Have you lost your ability
to leave red bruises on their wrists
and make them look like they committed suicide?
[♪ music fades]
[chuckles]
Do you also prefer Gu Sanyeong over me?
Do you also want her to live and for me to die?
Yes.
Why someone like her?
Because she's strong.
[♪ eerie music]
What did you do to her?
Tell me.
It's over.
What do you mean?
What's over?
You can try all you want like a madman.
But you'll never save her.

[Gyeongmun] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

She promised to save Sanyeong if I did this.
But I just can't do it. [sobbing]
I'm sorry, Sanyeong.
-[sobbing] -[Sanyeong] I don't need you…
if you're also that type of mom.
Who are you?
You're not my daughter. [inhales shakily]
My dear Sanyeong! Where did she go?
Where is she?
[Gyeongmun gasps]
Your daughter is trapped inside a mirror.
She can never escape.
She'll meet a slow death.
[♪ ominous music]
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
Not her.
Not Sanyeong. [breathes shakily, sniffles]
I'll do anything you want.
So please bring her back.
You'll do anything?
Then can you kill someone for me?
There's someone I've been dying to kill.
[♪ tense music]
But I failed to do so.
Yeom Haesang.
If you kill him…
I'll spare your daughter.
[♪ music fades]
[♪ pensive music]
Go to Hwawonjae.
Wait for him there.
[panting]
She said Ms. Sanyeong was inside a mirror?
[sniffles]
[♪ eerie music]
They have replaced each other.
[Haesang] Before, Sanyeong was outside the mirror
and the evil spirit was trapped inside.
But now they are switched.
HWAWONJAE
[♪ eerie music continues]
The shadow and the body have changed positions.
The evil spirit has become Sanyeong, and the latter has become its shadow.
You used me
to get your hands on the five objects.
What'll happen once you find them all?
Hurry up and find it.
[exhales heavily]
The last object.
[Sanyeong] Then you'll know.
The last object that no one could find.
[♪ music intensifies]
[Haesang] I shouldn't have found this.
[soft gasp]
This was how the evil spirit could take over her body.
What do you mean?
Are you saying Sanyeong will really die?
[sobs]
Please save her.
I couldn't do much for her.
She suffered so much because of me. I can't let her go like this.
Please save Sanyeong.
[Haesang] The five objects and the evil spirit's name.
This method will get rid of the shadow.
If I seal them…
Sanyeong, who's become the shadow, will be in danger.
We need to find another way but we're running out of time.

Sanyeong is in danger.
[phone vibrating]
Hello?
[Jaehyun over phone] I'm Kim Jaehyun,
the detective in charge of Na Byeonghui's death.
I called because I found something odd at the crime scene.
SANAE HOSPITAL
You met with the evil spirit?
What did it tell you?
What is it that I need to see?
[Hongsae] These are Ms. Na's crime scene photos.
We found severe lacerations on her left hand.
Maybe they were caused by the fall.
No. Follow me.
SECURITY ROOM
[♪ ominous music]
[Haesang] What is it you want me to look at?
[Hongsae] She didn't die immediately.
She made those lacerations…
on her left index finger on purpose.
[Hongsae] It's a dying message. She was trying to tell you something.
[♪ tense music]
[Sanyeong] "An old shaman kidnapped a girl from a nearby village
and starved the girl for 17 days."
"She then put some rice balls in a bamboo tube and offered them to her."
"When the girl was focused on grabbing the bamboo tube,
she killed the girl with a knife."
"Then the girl's finger was used as a host for deities."
The girl's finger.
We found Mokdan's finger in Choi Manwol's shrine
where the Mokdan was made into a juvenile ghost.
[♪ tense music continues]
Then what about Lee Hyangi who really became a juvenile ghost?
Where is her finger?
[Na Byeonghui breathing heavily]
Hyangi…
I'm sorry for saying your name,
but I didn't tell them about the other thing.
[Na Byeonghui breathing shakily]
You…
won't be able to if you're dead.
[indistinct chatter]
[Na Byeonghui] I won't die alone.
I will…
I will kill you too.
[♪ pensive music]
[Na Byeonghui groans]
The host for the juvenile ghost.
Lee Hyangi's finger.
My grandmother was hinting at that.
She wanted us to find it.
[siren wailing]
[♪ suspenseful music]
[camera shutter clicks]
[Hongsae] Hello, I'm VCI Detective Lee Hongsae
-from Seoul Metropolitan Police. -[investigator] Hello.
[Hongsae] Can you tell me what happened?
We collected the remains.
Part of the left index finger's proximal phalange is missing,
as well as the entire intermediate and distal phalanges.
Do you mean the left index finger is missing altogether?
-[investigator] Correct. -[Hongsae] Did you look around thoroughly?
We searched every nook and cranny but it was nowhere.
I see. Thank you.
If it's not in here,
then it's inside the house.
[♪ suspenseful music]
Could it be buried in the garden, Professor Yeom?
[door closes]
She laid new patches of grass every year and gardeners could enter freely.
So I doubt she buried such an important object there.
[switch clicks]
[Hongsae gasps softly]
It must be here.
This study is where she spent most of her time.
-[♪ suspenseful music continues] -[rattling]
It wouldn't be near a fire-related area.
[Haesang] Fire purifies all impurities.
It's incompatible with ghosts.
It's incompatible with ghosts?
So we need to burn the finger once we find it?
Correct.
[breathing heavily]
What if we can't find it?
What will happen to Sanyeong…
if we fail to find it?
[♪ eerie music]
[whimpering]
[whimpering continues]
[Sanyeong screams]
[♪ ominous music]
-[door lock beeps] -[door opens]
-[door closes] -[door lock beeps]
Did you kill him?
[exhales shakily]
[sighs]
You couldn't, could you?
[♪ ominous music continues]
What a nuisance.
[Sanyeong] Why couldn't you kill him for me?
But then again…
you were also useless during your time with your husband.
All you did was whine noisily.
So what did that professor say?
[liquid sloshing]
Tell me.
I know you crawled back here to save your daughter.
Those people…
Those people are looking for your finger.
They said…
they could get rid of you with it.
You said you were the only one who could save Sanyeong.
They told me not to tell you but I did.
[Gyeongmun sobs, breathes shakily]
So please save my daughter, will you?
[sobbing]
[♪ eerie music]
[breathing heavily]
Then drink this.
ANTIFREEZE
[♪ tense music]
[clanking, clattering]
I don't think it's here.
No, this is the only place.

[young Na Byeonghui] You must be tired. You can go to bed first.
I'll take care of the rest.
Good job.
I'll send you the money I promised. You may go.
If you ever want to get rid of the evil spirit…
[paper rustling]
…follow these instructions.
[♪ uneasy music]
You must be precise.
If you get any of the five objects
or its name wrong,
the person who attempted to get rid of the evil spirit will suffer.
[scoffs, chuckles softly]
Why would I get rid of this ghost
when it'll bring my family wealth?
I've created juvenile ghosts for generations.
But this one is different.
[♪ ominous music]
She's extremely tenacious
and could latch onto a human.
If that ever happens…
get rid of the host.
Put it in a place that's always visible
but can't easily be seen by others.

You must've thought you had successfully fooled us.
Wait.
Can I see the text again?
PLEASE HURRY TO MY HOUSE. HYANGI IS TRYING TO KILL ME.
I never told her…
the evil spirit's name.
Sanyeong's mother didn't send this text.
It was the evil spirit.
[exhales deeply]
You should stay here. I'll go alone.
Still, thank you for reaching out to us.
[Hongsae] Ms. Yoon.
Ms. Yoon. Ms. Yoon.
[Haesang] Sanyeong's mother was taken
to the emergency room. She's stable now.
And thank you for that too.
You helped us find another way…
to get rid of you.
Give that to me.
We wanted to live.
[Sanyeong] We even ate bark to survive.
My parents even sold off their own child.
We tried our best to survive.
But you all…
want to die.
That brat Gu Sanyeong did as well.
She was lonely and struggling.
So she wanted to die.
She had no idea what true loneliness and pain felt like.
[shouts] She wanted to let go of a life
that I desperately yearned to have!
[♪ tense music]
Then let me live her life instead.
I'll work hard
and do everything I want in this life.
So spare me.
I'm not the one who decides that.
Nor is it you.
It's up to Ms. Sanyeong what she wants to do…
with her life.
And I believe…
that she will make the right choice.
[shrieks, breathes heavily]
Let me go! No!
[shouts] No!
[screams in pain]
You should go to where you belong.
[Sanyeong grunts]
[Sanyeong groaning]
[shouts] No! What are you doing?
[Sanyeong screams]

My mom has never worked at a convenience store before,

I promise to pay back the rest by next month.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

[Gyeongmun] It is, right? Let's ride it again.
I'd love to. Let's do that.
-[attendant] Watch your step. -[Semi] Wasn't it fun?
[Gyeongmun] Didn't the wind make you teary-eyed, Sanyeong?
-What's with her? -[Gyeongmun] Let's ride it again. Okay?

Gosh, I'm running out of time.
[Gyeongmun and Semi] What time?
-[Sanyeong] Ah, there are so many stars. -[♪ gentle music]
-[Semi] Sanyeong. -[Sanyeong] Yes?
[Semi] Ziplining, stargazing…
I respect your bucket list ideas.
[Sanyeong] But?
But don't you want to try other ideas?
You know, like swimming at a pool villa resort,
or a staycation at a five-star hotel.
Be quiet.
-Don't ruin this mood for me. -[Gyeongmun exhales deeply]
[Semi] Tsk.
[gasps]
-[Sanyeong] What's wrong? -I forgot.
-What? -It's time for my medicine.
Let me get it from the car.
-I'll get it. -[Gyeongmun] No.
It's my medicine.
[Gyeongmun] Meanwhile, enjoy your time stargazing.
[Sanyeong and Semi chuckling]
[Gyeongmun grunts]
[Sanyeong] Will you be okay?
-[Gyeongmun] Of course. -[Sanyeong] It's far away.
Your mother seems to have changed.
You're right.
[grunts, exhales deeply]
Right. Did it get sold?
That house, Hwawonjae or something. It's been on the market for a while.
No, no one has contacted me yet. [inhales deeply]
Maybe I should lower the price a bit more.
That's not why. It's because people know that your house is haunted by ghosts.
[Sanyeong shushes]
[insects chirping]
Does she still get hysterical when she hears about ghosts?
[grunts]
She's getting better, but…
She'll get over it sooner or later.
[exhales deeply]
[Semi] What about you?
Are you okay?
[♪ gentle music continues]
Yes.
I'm okay.

Ah.

A cup of hot Americano
with one shot of espresso, right?
Yes.
Hey.
Why don't you drink one with me? It's my treat.
[Sanyeong] It's good.
How's your vision?
Hmm, it's okay for now.
The doctor said I'm not going blind yet.
He says I have five to six years at most,
or I could go blind in a year or two.
That's what he said.
What about your mother?
-[Hongsae] Have you told her yet? -No.
She still has an anxiety disorder.
I'm going to tell her once she feels a bit better.
Professor Yeom's grandmother's death…
will be concluded as suicide.
[inhales sharply]
That's a relief.
What's your plan for the future?
[Sanyeong] Hmm…
I'm not sure.
I'm going to take some time to think about it.
After all, I've been living a hectic life until now.
I'm going to think long and hard about what I want to become
and what I want to do in life.
I'm going to take things slowly.
[soft chuckle]
What about you?
I was wrong.
You haven't changed.
How was I in the past?
[♪ calm music]
[Sanyeong gasps]
How pretty.
It looks like snow.
You're right.
It's like that day.
[♪ calm music continues]
[camera shutter clicks]
I PRAY THAT I'LL GET A HIGH SCORE ON THE CSAT
I PRAY THAT MY DAD WENT TO A GOOD PLACE
We need to interview the elderly when they're on their break.
[Haesang] Ask them when they began this job
and if they have any special memories related to the fireworks festival.
Hey, did you hear? Professor Yeom is crazy.
I know he is.
You don't get it. He used to be filthy rich.
Didn't you read the news article?
He had several hundred billion to his name but he donated it to society.
[chuckles] Can you believe that?
-He truly is insane. -I'm telling you.
-Why would he? -Beats me.
Excuse me.
I'm not crazy.
-I'm sorry. -Sorry, sir.
We'll gather at the site once you're done.
[students] Okay.
[elder] Professor Yeom.
You should write one too.
You can see ghosts.
You came by every year
and prayed that they'd end up in a good place.

[line ringing]
[Haesang] I'm in front of the station.
BONGHWA STATION
[♪ calm music]
Are you here for the local survey?
Yes. We're going to be late so hop in.
[♪ folk music playing over car stereo]
[Sanyeong inhales deeply]
Well, this is something new.
They sing this folk song during the fireworks festival
when they set boats afloat on the river and write poems.
It's a folk game
played throughout the country since the Joseon Dynasty.
It's the quintessence of a dignified game played by nobles.
Right. "Nobles."
"Quintessence." I get it.
[♪ folk music continues playing]
You can still see ghosts, can't you?
Yes.
[people cheering in distance]
It has already begun.
[festival attendee] Here they fall!
[♪ soft music]
-[cheers and applause] -[camera shutters clicking]
[Haesang] This is the fireworks festival.
It's a way to ward off harmful spirits,
cast away illnesses and misfortunes, and bring in good news.
It also escorts
all the lost and wandering ghosts to a good place.
The festival is filled with white paper and fire.
It's a grand purification ceremony…
brought on by everyone's wishes.
[Haesang] Do you see them?
The ghosts?
Yes.
[Haesang] I came here yearly…
when it was painful to see the ghosts.
Because all the ghosts here looked happy.
You're right.
Everyone…
looks happy.
[♪ soft music continues]
I hope you find happiness too.
[Haesang] I pray that everyone's wishes will come true.
I hope everyone here…
will find happiness.
[Gyeongmun] Your drink is ready.
[customer] Okay.
-[Gyeongmun] Enjoy. -[customer] Thank you.
[Gangmo's voice] I'm sorry.
[♪ soft music playing, Dasutt "Lonely Night"]
[door bell jingling]
-Welcome. -[door bell jingling]
I checked the CCTV footage. I'll be meeting the witness tomorrow.
All right.
[keyboard clacking]
[Munchun's voice] Keep it up.
[crowd cheering]
[exclaims]
[cheers and applause]
[Sanyeong gasps]
[Sanyeong] Okay. I will strive to survive.
