Jong-Goo decides to visit the Japanese with his partner and a young priest that speaks Japanese. They find an altar with a goat head and pictures of the infected people that died on the walls. However they are attacked by the guard dog and they only can leave the place when the stranger arrives. Jong-Goo finds one shoe of his beloved daughter Hyo-jin in the house of the stranger and soon she becomes sick. His mother-in-law summons the shaman Il-gwang to save her granddaughter while a mysterious woman tells Jong-Goo that the stranger is the responsible.

Yes.

Mom told me to bring this to you...

Some fresh underwear...

Thanks...

Go clean up.

I got it...

Go...

Didn't even eat your food...

Good job, good job....

I got it, okay?

You don't have to lecture me,

can't you see your dad is at work?!

I'm leaving, okay?

Bye everyone!

Be safe, bye!

She can be so careless...

Seong Bok?

Yes?

I remember now...

What?

That woman...

The one from the burned house we just came from,

I knew I saw her somewhere before!

That woman from last night,

standing here butt naked!

What?

When the lights went out!

That's her!

You guys are crazy...

She didn't die by hanging,

she died from knife wounds...

All 3 of them?

Yes...

I was also a bit surprised.

The woman who was strung up...

She is looking like the suspect.

What is happening around here..?

I wonder that myself...

Hey!

Come over here!

Yes.

Through there!

Lift it a little higher!

I found it!

And you're just going to pick it up with your hands..?

Are you retarded..?

This is evidence.

I think need to pick it up with a towel or something like that.

Right?

Any new information?

Come on!

Give us something!

So that woman killed them all?

I guess...

Wow..

What could have...

So why did you call me here?

You know I'm busy.

I called you because of that thing I told you about.

Do you remember what I said?

What?

About that Japanese guy,

what I told you about him and that woman.

You filthy b*tch in heat...

That woman -- she is the one.

What are you talking about?!

That woman I told you about with the Japanese guy!

She is the one from the fire!

I'm telling you it's like she suddenly just lost her mind,

going out in the middle of the night completely naked!

Even my wife saw it several times!

Whole body all red and infected,

screaming at people and jumping at them like..!

Hyeongnim, you haven't lost your marbles have you..?

We better round up all the bums for the interrogation room...

You idiot, it's a bit too late for that now,

should've done that days ago!

I was just kidding around,

even if its true who the hell is going to believe this nonsense?

Doesn't matter,

you were right about it and I've given it a lot of thought.

It is definitely not some bad mushrooms.

You are getting really paranoid.

What are you looking at?

Go!

She's relentless.

Been here since morning.

Crazy ass...

Hey you should go check out all the clinics around the area.

See if there's any medical records on Park Byeong Wook.

Stop throwing rocks!

Hyeongnim, that is so pointless --

This is important you moron!

An infection, it has something to do with festering infections,

we can track that down, right?

Just go already!

Stop throwing those,
