The Host Page #3

Synopsis: The film revolves around Park Hee-bong, a man in his late 60s. He runs a small snack bar on the banks of the Han River and lives with his two sons, one daughter, and one granddaughter. The Parks seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life, but maybe they are a bit poorer than the average Seoulite. Hee-bong's elder son Gang-du is an immature and incompetent man in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il is the youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo is an archery medalist and member of the national team. One day, an unidentified monster suddenly appears from the depths of the Han River and spreads panic and death, and Gang-du's daughter Hyun-seo is carried off by the monster and disappears. All of the family members are in a great agony because they lost someone very dear to them. But when they find out she is still alive, they resolve to save her.

...is now undergoing treatment

at a U.S. Army hospital.

After a thorough examination...

...U.S. Army medical staff

have identified...

...an unknown virus,

primarily in body parts...

...that came into contact

with the creature.

The U.S. Army has shipped

a sample of the virus...

...to the U.S. Centers

for Disease Control...

...which confirmed that

the creature from the Han River...

...as with the Chinese civet wildcat

and SARS...

...is the host

of this deadly new virus.

All military units sent to pursue

and capture the creature...

...have been recalled

due to the risk of infection.

Only special forces trained

in biological warfare...

...and disinfectant units are allowed

access to the Han River area.

Damn...

...they made a fuss

dragging us in here.

What is this sh*t?

Where are all the guys in yellow?

Look.

The doctors aren't even

wearing masks.

Hello, sir.

When might we

be allowed to go home?

- You can't go home.

- What? We can't?

Dad, am I dying?

Don't say that!

Just do what the doctors tell you.

But, Dad,

my back feels itchy and weird.

Like something's moving.

It's a squirmy feeling,

like something's there.

It's because you never

take a bath, it's okay.

Attention! Numbers 25-40,

raise your hands.

Quickly!

This group...

...move to Room 904 now.

- Not again!

- That's not us.

Don't tell anyone about

the blood on your face, okay?

Mr. Park Gang-du?

Yes?

You need to take a lot of tests...

...so don't eat until

tomorrow morning.

- What? Don't eat anything?

- Don't feed him anything. No food.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Hello?

Can you hear me?

My battery is...

Hello?

It's me, Hyun-seo!

Dad, can you hear me?

Please answer me!

Is this Hyun-seo?

Dad, listen to me!

I can't get out!

You're alive? Where...?

It's like a big sewer.

Really big and deep.

Where?

Hello?

I'm scared!

- Come quick!

- Is it Hyun-seo?

What is it?

Did you see that?

- What?

- Wait a minute.

- Sweet!

- Hey!

Hey, don't go near the water.

Be careful!

Let's go. I'm starving.

It's okay, get back in.

Mister.

Mister!

Try to turn.

Your daughter, Park Hyun-seo...

...a seventh grader

at Dangsan Middle School.

She's on the deceased list.

Yes, she goes to Dangsan School...

...she's deceased...

...but she's not dead.

I mean, she died, but she's still alive.

Now you're talking in circles.

So she's on the list.

Wait, shut up.

- At any rate, there was a call.

- Right.

So shouldn't you be able to...

...trace the call or something?

- Trace the call?

That's not something we do

for just anyone.

Are you even aware

of how complicated that is?

"Just anyone," is that

what you said?

Stop it!

Step back!
