All characters and events depicted in this series are fictitious.
Child actors were filmed safely in the presence of their guardians.
Everyone is at worship.
If we run away now, nobody would know.
Were you scared?
The world outside is big and bright.
No one will lock you up.
You can run freely and go wherever you want.
Let's leave quickly. This will be our only chance.
Van!
Wonjeong!
Wonjeong.
Because of me…
I knew Wonjeong was more caught up in personal feelings than a great cause.
-But I didn't think she'd do this… -Van has returned!
Bring Wonjeong inside!
Let go of me!
Let go!
Let go! I said, "Let go of me!"
Are you okay?
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry. It was my fault.
I'm going to leave now.
I came to say my last goodbye.
To establish the Barrier, I must train.
And after that, I'm going to save you two.
So until then…
make sure you survive.
Hang in there, even if you don't want to live.
Can you promise?
Are you going to come back?
I'll be back to save you, no matter what.
Please wait for me.
I promise you.
Father?
My apologies.
To be honest, I didn't expect the exorcist sent by the diocese to be Korean…
And I also didn't expect you to be this young.
If I offended you, I apologize.
It's fine.
How long has it been since you were last in Korea?
About ten years.
I left Korea when I was ten.
But it doesn't feel unfamiliar. It actually feels like I've missed it.
You speak Korean very well.
I really like K-pop and K-drama.
That helped a lot.
Right.
We've met for the first time, so I'm not sure if it's okay to say this,
but your achievements are quite astonishing.
No, not at all.
One of your finest achievements was the exorcism performed
in Detroit, USA, in 2017, right?
It was in 2018. The Face of the Devil incident.
You were just 17 back then.
I was just lucky.
Last year, in Olite, Spain,
I heard you single-handedly exorcised a devil worshipper.
It took me just three minutes. But I caused a lot of trouble for others.
Because my spiritual aim was a bit off.
Aren't you being too humble?
I'm nothing.
From what I've heard, you were devoted
to serving only a single vocation for your entire life.
Protect
the savior.
I think you're being too wary.
I'm not too sure what you mean.
Father, you know too, right?
The existence of the prophecy.
According to the prophecy,
the moment when evil was about to devour the world,
the only savior who could prevent the destruction of the world appeared.
However, unfortunately, she was not able to fulfill her mission.
But the problem is that the world is again in the danger of being devoured by evil.
Once more,
the darkness may cover the world.
With all of this explained,
it is quite clear that Won Mi-ho
is the one vocation and savior you've been protecting.
You must know it the best.
What are you planning to do?
What would I do?
Simply, I'll protect
and awaken.
It won't be easy,
either protecting or awakening.
Come on, you acknowledge me earlier.
And I'm more capable than you might think.
I tried to search for things in the prophecy too.
But I couldn't find them.
That's why I'm trying to see it for myself.
I'll try to introduce you as my nephew to Miss Mi-ho, not too far from now.
Sure.
I can't wait to meet Won Mi-ho.
As well as the man in black from the prophecy.
Yes, Miss.
Can you send a car to where I am, Mister?
Miss?
I've followed along Bijarim-ro.
Please come quickly, okay?
Miss.
Miss?
Secretary Kang…
Who are you?
Don't escape from here.
That's how you can survive.
Miss!
-Mister. -Are you okay?
So…
you saw a murderer?
Yes. How many times do I have to tell you?
Secretary Kang turned into a monster.
And that psychopath… I mean, the devil
killed Secretary Kang
cutting him into pieces like this.
A monster…
and a devil?
As well as dismemberment?
I know it's hard to believe.
Despite knowing it's hard to believe, the fact that I'm saying these…
I must sound crazy, right?
I'm the only crazy one here.
Right?
Miss.
You believe what I'm saying, right?
-Yes, I believe you. -Amen.
Never mind that. Tell my Dad to send me a private jet.
I can't stay here any longer.
-I'm going to Seoul right away. -Miss.
Calm down--
How can I calm down?
When I've witnessed a person be cut down into pieces?
If you go and wait in the car,
I'll give the president a call.
I don't think Ms. Won Mi-ho is sane.
Does she take narcotics?
Of course not.
If necessary, we'll come to the police station for questioning.
No, you don't have to do that.
Only daughter of Daehan Group.
Must be a headache.
Miss?
WON TAE-HAN, PRESIDENT
Yes, sir.
She must've been really tired.
I think she went to bed early.
As it's her first time coming to an unfamiliar place,
it seems like she needs some time to settle in.
Yes, sir.
I'll make sure to watch out for her.
I wouldn't believe what I said either.
Yes, where are you?
That address is not on the map.
Are you at the cliff I told you about?
Yes.
That's fine then. I'm on my way down now.
-Where are you going? -To the airport.
JEJU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Could you just pull over right there?
It's an airport, and they don't even fix the lights.
Huh?
What's this?
It's moving.
A business seat to Seoul.
Actually, just give me whatever is available.
Yes, Ma'am. May I see your identification?
IDENTIFICATION CARD WON MI-HO
Ma'am, please wait a moment.
What's wrong?
Ms. Won Mi-ho is here.
I'm sorry, but could you please hurry? I think I'll miss the flight.
Yes, I understand.
Ma'am, please wait a moment.
What's the matter?
Someone from above asked you to wait a moment.
Who from above?
I'm not too sure, but please wait a little--
Call the person from above so I can speak to them. Call them.
I'm really sorry, Ma'am.
Forget the apology, I'm going to miss the flight.
Please wait a little longer.
-Instead of waiting, call-- -Ms. Won Mi-ho!
Ms. Won Mi-ho?
Please come with me for a moment.
Why?
Okay, we're almost there.
This way, please.
Hello? Ms. Won Mi-ho is here--
Yes. Understood.
I'm sorry, but I've been ordered to protect you.
You have to wait here until someone comes to pick you up.
What did you say? Ordered to protect me?
I've only been given the order as well.
Let's just wait and see.
What do you mean wait? I'm must go now.
Hey, one second.
I'm sure you have your reasons, but we have to follow the procedures.
I hope you understand.
Please take a seat.
Are you really the Ms. Won Mi-ho of Daehan Group?
I did read an article about you coming to Jeju Island.
But you are really beautiful in person!
My apologies.
Sorry, but can we take a picture--
Look.
Do I look like I'm in the mood to take a picture?
I'm going to miss my flight!
I'm sorry.
Hey, punk! You said you're just going to the toilet. What took you so long?
Why are your hands black?
Go finish the overdue task log.
I'm sorry. Where were we?
Oh! Pictures!
I have seen many celebrities,
but I've never asked for pictures--
What the hell!
What are you doing now?
Hey, punk! What are you doing?
I said what are you doing?
Don't! Don't come!
No! Don't come near me!
I told you I'll give you the money.
How many times did I tell you? My kid is unwell.
Huh?
Hey!
Didn't I say I'll give you the money?
Oh, who is this?
Shit! Get out!
Get out! Who are you?
What is it?
Please… Please save me.
Save me. Come down and do something!
Get down here, you crazy bastard!
Come here! Hurry!
Please get down and do something!
What exactly is that?
This is what lust demons turn into when they die.
You really don't remember anything?
What am I supposed to know?
Hey! Wait! Hold on!
Why are you leaving like that?
You should at least try to explain so that I understand…
My legs really aren't moving.
Please help me.
Secretary Kang, who worked with me,
also had something coming out of his hands,
his eyes turned red, and insects were coming out of his mouth--
He became a lust demon.
A lust demon…?
What's a lust demon?
Evil itself which leeched off this land since the dawn of time.
They kill humans and live forever among them in their shapes.
They are everywhere.
They may appear from anywhere.
I would've called you a lunatic if I didn't see it for myself.
You know, like how I became a crazy woman today.
It makes me angrier than the fact that I almost died.
No one believed me.
So, are you saying you're the only one who can destroy lust demons?
That's right.
But why are those lust demons chasing after me?
It is your fate that calls upon them.
What nonsense.
Never mind! Anyway, what fate?
Are some people destined to be eaten by monsters?
Nothing can be done if you don't understand.
You'll just have to die.
Hey, hey! Just wait!
Can they get out of Jeju Island?
To Seoul? Or abroad?
Wherever you go, lust demons will follow you till the end.
In human forms, they'll try to lure and kill you.
Like that Secretary Kang or something.
Blame it on your fate.
Fight it if you can.
Hey.
If you're given another life,
I wish you a life of a normal human being.
GRANNY HAENYEO'S HOME
Van.
If that girl is truly Wonjeong, she will certainly have a sign.
If the sign shines with light,
there is absolutely no doubt about it.
Go on, have a bite.
If you give me everything, what are you going to sell?
I have enough to be able to feed you.
No…
This is too much.
This guy is here again?
Yeom-ji, why are you home already?
What about school?
Obviously, you'll prepare to sell alone if I'm not here.
Also, you're trying to give him free food again while I'm not here?
Why does it matter to you when I'm giving him free food?
Are you the owner? Are you?
Whose side are you on?
I'm trying to collect your money for you.
Leave some money this time. Or I'm not letting you go.
This guy!
Don't waste your energy and go inside.
Just wait. I'm going to get every single cent back that he owes.
Is the investigation going well?
I guess…
I'm following the traces of the record.
But it's not easy.
Father, do you know anything about the man in black?
A very long time ago,
I saw him just once when I first came to Jeju Island.
Really?
How was it? What did he look like?
Did he look scary?
Also, what weapons does he use?
Does he change to a lust demon? Does he?
When you meet him, your excitement may turn into fear.
Fear, horror, and action are all my specialties, Father.
Wherever you go, lust demons will follow you till the end.
In human forms, they will try to lure and kill you.
Like that Secretary Kang or something.
Yes.
Wow, your eyes are so scary.
Why did you do it?
You're the one who stopped me from getting on my flight, Mister.
It was all for your own good.
If you give up now and go back,
it's obvious that your aunt and the ones around her will use this
as an excuse to try something to bring you down.
Mister.
I'm really scared.
It's you. You should believe me.
I believe you more than anyone else.
You do? Is that what you do when you believe someone?
Miss, sleeping pills are…
Mister, I'll have nightmares if I don't take these.
I need to take them.
Wait!
It's so late at night,
but I put so much effort making you tea so you could sleep well.
I'll just throw it out then.
Here. Okay?
Okay.
Please have a good night.
It's hot!
It's so frustrating!
God, Buddha, and…
No. Just to any god…
I'll go to church every week,
and I'll visit the temple every week too.
So please. Please save me.
This is driving me nuts.
You! How did you get up here?
Do you want to know?
No.
I don't want to know.
There was this lust demon I met before that had sneaky eyes like yours.
And what happened?
I didn't kill it, but I carved out its eyeballs.
So don't look at me like that.
I have a question.
Are the monsters that tried to kill me here too?
Are they here too?
Not anymore.
How many more are there then?
Around ten?
Twenty?
I told you they were everywhere and could appear from anywhere.
They are not beings that can be counted.
-What should I do? -What?
What must I do now?
-Just hide like you're doing now. -Forever?
You said that this monster will follow me wherever I go.
That people around might turn out like Secretary Kang.
You want me to be stuck in the corner of a room like this,
doing nothing, and not being able to do anything?
-Is that even living? -You must if you want to live.
It might be better to just die.
Mom is dead.
And Aunt wants me dead.
Dad wants me to live as if I'm dead.
My life is not that great,
so I don't really want to be desperate to live.
But even so, this is not fair.
My only options are to live in pain or die painfully.
That's not fair.
So…
So?
Why don't you work?
What?
Why don't you work
as a security guard?
Please protect me.
-What? -What's wrong?
-Didn't you come to protect me? -No, I didn't.
-Then why did you come? -It's…
Did you follow me because you fell in love at first sight?
Actually, never mind.
I know that's not it, and that there are no personal feelings.
Stop with the internal conflict, and protect me officially.
Have you gone mad?
Do you think you're worth it?
How can you put a value to a person like…
No. That's not it.
You haven't seen it with your own eyes,
so it's understandable that you don't know my value.
Fine, then.
How much do you want?
We should write a contract at least, right?
Verbal agreement has legal effects,
but having a written one would be more effective.
I'm asking just in case, but do you have some identification?
Oh, you don't have one.
Your resident registration number, then?
Oh, you don't have one.
Then a phone number…
I guess I can get you one, right?
I'll get you a new phone.
Your name is?
Your name.
-Van. -Van?
Van what?
Just Van?
Vanny Van?
You're making a scary face.
Just Van, then.
I'll read out the contract quickly.
This is a service contract
between Won Mi-ho, the client, and Van, the contractor.
The contractor must protect the client from lust demons every day.
The client will compensate the contractor financially, including tax,
in cash.
You should just move in here.
That would be better if you want to watch me closely every day.
Right?
We now need to write down the salary.
In the salary section, write down the amount you want.
-Why don't we stop the joke here? -What?
I don't make promises.
Wait! Hold on.
You're making a mistake here.
This is your chance to become
a business partner of Daehan Group's Won Mi-ho.
You're just going to let this chance go?
Hey! Wait!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry,
but just for tonight…
Can you stay with me just for tonight?
I'm not the type to ask a guy to stay with me overnight.
I'm just…
It's because I'm just really scared.
You're dark and scary.
But lust demons are even scarier.
I'm really sleepy because I'm exhausted.
I can't fall asleep.
I can't sleep.
If that girl is truly Wonjeong,
she will certainly have a sign.
I knew it.
Why would he refuse money?
Wait a minute.
Why didn't he write the salary?
It wouldn't be for free.
Wait. Does he want me to pay whatever he wants?
I'll be back to save you no matter what.
Please wait for me.
I promise you.
Why did you…
make such a promise to me?
Van!
It's been a while.
Should I resent you for forgetting me?
Or should I be grateful? orgetting me?
