Kim Nam-woo?
How are you today?
Calm down and make yourself comfortable.
Let's try to remember what happened that day.
Seeing the light from this candle will make you feel relaxed.
Now the elevator will arrive.
Jin-hoo, when you enter it...
...the elevator is going down.
When he reached the first floor...
...go back in time Where your friends are.
Now.
The elevator doors are open.
Get into it.
Is there a memory you want to erase?
Ex-lover.
He's an outrageous person.
When drunk, he would beat and curse.
Then apologize, as if nothing happened.
Should I look into the camera?
You can look at me or the camera.
I bumped into him at a shop.
That person doesn't recognize me.
He has bullied me for three years.
You see this wound?
This wound was due to being beaten by him.
Human memory can be deceiving.
He tends to erase all unfortunate memories.
Don't just translate the lyrics, but write down the meaning behind them.
That shouldn't be too difficult to do.
The lyrics should be easy to analyze.
Whoever is done, may leave.
See you later, Professor.
Do-hyun.
- Yes? - Write down your name.
Forgive me.
You look good on camera.
I'm going to the fox.
- Not bad, right? - Are you trying to stop them?
I followed them.
I want to...
...tell them to stop.
Good grief.
- I have to tell them it's wrong. - What's this?
Seriously!
You scared me.
Are you on TV? You will be successful soon.
If I could have had success with that I wouldn't be here right now.
Isn't all that bullshit?
Hypnosis can't be all fake.
If I hypnotized you and told you to love me, would you do it?
Sleep. You love and want me.
- But you know, we can't be together. - Fool, you want to die?
A teen star should use better language.
If you want good, think good.
You always have dirty thoughts.
A healthy man like me is always thinking about food or sex. Right?
Not.
Ask every guy who passes by, if they could use hypnosis they would.
Geez.
Anyone sick?
Not. I'm fine.
I have to go.
You want to go?
Certain. Help me get up.
Come on.
Hey, why did you skip practice?
- At least act like you're sorry! - Outrageous.
Am I the only one who doesn't know the changing times?
I mean.
You all kept it a secret from me?
- Don't act like a big star. - What star? He is nothing.
You called me for help. What movie do you want to make?
I have to film an interview. You know the free time?
I think maybe Byung-joon knows.
I'll call Byung-joon later. Let's go have a drink tonight.
I'll make you happy with anything.
Very good! I really need entertainment.
You're a good person, friend.
Do-hyun.
Go to Professor Yeo's office . He's looking for you.
- Thank you. - Yes.
She is beautiful. Who's he? Introduce me.
- Introduce me! - Let go!
- Just forget it! - Come on!
How about your video result?
Yes, I'm still working on it.
- I called you for help. - Yes.
There are students who just transferred.
He was sick because of an accident.
He's still on medication.
I hope you can help him.
Certain.
Jin-ho.
Welcome.
Greetings. He's a student representative.
You two are the same age.
- I hope you guys get along. - Okay.
You're majoring in English, but making videos?
Yes.
That's for my psychology major. I 'm making a documentary.
Documentary based on what?
Based on human guilt.
Didn't have that feeling when I was a kid...
...then when we grow up we have it.
Something about memory.
Sounds interesting.
Yes, Professor.
I'm on my way.
Where are you going?
I have treatment once a week.
Is it still bad enough?
I lost my memory in an accident.
I'm undergoing hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy?
You want to come? It would be nice to see.
In the early 2000s in Korea...
...there are studies of children with abusive personality disorders.
The research tries to control violence...
...by putting fear into their minds.
Today, hypnotic psychotherapy is used...
...in countries...
...like Japan and America with great results.
In addition, hypnosis is also used in criminal investigations.
Yes?
What happened to domestic research?
At the time...
...hypnosis...
...is considered a false science.
And the forced fear of hypnosis...
...has undergone a change...
...becomes an attack on the target.
Therefore the study was suspended.
So, that's it for today.
Don't forget to submit your assignments by the 20th.
Thank you.
Professor!
- Hi, Jin-ho. - I came with a friend.
Hello.
Sorry make you wait.
It's all right, sir. There's a lot of interesting stuff here.
All of that to help hypnosis.
I collected too much.
- Please sit. - Yes sir.
Everyone talks a lot about hypnosis these days.
There are TV shows that show the experiences of living in the past.
Maybe because of that.
But, can you really see your past life?
Yes..
While unconscious in a deep hypnotic state...
...you experience memories in the subconscious.
Some say, pictures from the subconscious are past lives.
Meaning, they saw it but forgot about it?
We can't tell all that from his previous life.
But when you're hypnotized...
...some people can talk about his past in great detail.
I think we'll find out...
...which is true with more research, right?
I used to...
...seeing on Youtube, a person's memory can be changed by hypnosis.
I think it looks like engineering.
You're really interested in hypnosis, aren't you?
Means...
...should we test you?
Test?
Just try it, it will be fun.
Okay.
I will try it.
Now, just relax.
Make yourself comfortable when you're ready.
Once your body is relaxed, open your eyes and look up.
Inhale and exhale to help your body relax.
Look at the light.
Imagine yourself in space...
...in a very light state.
Your body feels lighter and lighter.
You're standing at the end of a long dark tunnel...
...and narrow.
Slowly...
...exit through the tunnel.
When the bell rings...
...you too will completely...
...in a hypnotized state.
You are okay?
I keep giving signals for you to wake up.
But, you must have been hypnotized too deeply.
Now, take a deep breath.
Try to calm yourself down and relax your body.
Can you tell me, what did you see?
I'm in a building.
I saw dust.
I can't remember.
It does not matter.
Those memories will come to you in time.
Why not just buy a 2G phone?
I told you, I'm sorry.
You never answer your phone.
You really quit boxing?
My life won't change much by getting into the national team.
Our starting line is different from the children of rich people like them.
Yes, but we can cross the finish line faster than them!
I'll leave my work later and die a hero!
Just make money and create your work in your life.
Why should we talk about death?
Stop it! Do n't be like Do-hyun.
What?
Hello?
Get down.
Hey genius, why are you so late?
I have to stop by somewhere first.
Who's this?
He just transferred to my school.
Jin-ho helped me with a project.
Let's all just drink.
Of course. Sit down.
- Please add more plates! - Okay.
Which school did you transfer from before?
School somewhere.
Where? It does not matter.
I went to school three times.
- Are you proud of that? - Yes.
I just don't want to talk about it.
He doesn't want to tell you. Just forget it.
Have we met before?
Not. I don't think so.
Since when did you decide to drink?
We haven't seen each other in a long time.
Up to you.
Just drink.
Toast.
I want to go home.
Thank you.
- Does the meal include this drink? - What?
No place here?
Let's go, I'll buy it.
Don't you have practice?
I can go there later.
Sit down.
It's been a long time.
Yes, this too...
...still feels very awkward.
Only you feel it, I don't.
Come on, let's just enjoy the drink.
You guys haven't seen each other in a long time. Act like you are friends.
You did that for me, friend.
I go.
Byung-joon, wait!
When will you make up with Hyun-jung?
Who knows. Just forget it.
You are a different person.
Just realized my personality sucks?
But a good person like you can make you a pusher.
So...
...have you decided what to do after you quit boxing?
Since when did I make plans?
I do not want...
...do anything.
It's really tiring.
- Is it true? Your turn! - I'm asking for my rights.
Unlucky.
Stop your babbling!
What?
Who are you looking at?
Come here, idiot.
Feel this!
- I told you not to look at me. - It's enough!
I told you not to look at me, you idiot!
I've said enough!
See you later, Byung-joon.
- Take care of yourself. - Tidy it up.
Yes.
Can you clean my office too?
Okay.
I'm going to sleep for a bit.
What if someone comes?
All gone.
Why didn't you answer my phone?
I was drinking with my friends.
Since when are we friends?
Your head hurts? Want to take medicine?
Not. It does not matter.
You had a bad dream?
"The Sound and the Fury" is a novel...
...which is the work of William Faulkner.
Divided into four parts, the novel depicts the flow of consciousness.
Not busy lately? You're often late for school.
To fill the attendance requirements graduation only.
I can't be a teen idol for life.
Hey.
The show about feeling your past life...
...is that real?
I just did as the author wrote.
Why?
It does not matter.
Just that?
Have you met the professor I told you about?
I can't see any doctor...
...and created strange rumors.
He's a professor here. There should be no problem.
Jin-ho, the guy from the bar also met him.
What for?
There's a problem with his memory.
really?
Okay.
- I have to go. - See you later.
Am I asleep?
It does not matter.
It's because you feel comfortable after the session is over.
Stupid.
You don't want to study?
You're not my mother.
Without you , my life would be difficult.
It's because you never learn.
- It's still hard even if I study. - This is Professor Choi's book.
Let me see.
This is interesting.
Why are you suddenly interested in hypnosis?
I used to go with Jin-ho for hypnotherapy and...
- Do you mind? - It does not matter.
I took hypnotherapy to recover from a bad accident.
A fire broke out in the house and my next father died.
My head is so messed up because of that.
But...
...does hypnosis really work?
There was once a hypnosis study...
...of those who are said to have their stomachs getting smaller.
Later, endoscopy results showed her stomach had actually shrunk.
His book once said, humans can be hypnotized with a simple question.
But it is difficult to wake them from the subconscious state.
There's a chance they can't wake up.
What do you mean?
Meaning, they will be hypnotized forever?
Who knows.
You wanna try?
Do not want to! What if I can't wake up? That's weird.
You think I can? I tried it just for fun.
I mean, wanna try it on me?
I'm quite a sensitive person.
I might be hypnotized even by a beginner.
really?
Hey!
Stop messing around!
Outrageous.
It really hurts.
Unlucky.
I told you to stop.
Turn on the lamp!
Look into the light and relax.
Imagine...
...there is an elevator right in front of you.
Ready?
Now let's get started.
Guide the elevator down to the basement.
You're going down and down.
At the count of three from me...
...you will be completely hypnotized.
One...
...two...
...three!
Your hand feels light as a feather and starts to lift.
Walk to the tree in front of you, pick an apple and eat it.
Walk through the tree...
...and enter a dark tunnel.
Once you get out of the tunnel...
...you will be heading to your distant past life.
What do you see?
Jin-ho!
Hey!
Hey, let's get up!
Jin-hoo!
- Wake up! - Jin-hoo!
- Jin-hoo, wake up! - Wake up!
Are you okay?
Are you sure you're okay? Did you see anything?
That's outrageous, why is n't the phone answered?
DO-HYUN
Unlucky. I do not believe it.
Have you called Byung-joon?
Not answered.
What happened?
Did something happen to him?
I am not sure.
But you were there.
When he killed himself.
Why did he do that?
Don't you feel something from him? Talk to me!
Talk about what? I don't know anything. Stop asking me!
Stop yelling at me!
I can ask, can't I?
So I can't ask what do you mean? Don't treat me like a fool!
Since when did we treat you like that?
- You're doing it now! - What have we done?
Just forget it.
Sorry to bother you.
I'm from the police. You guys are Seo Hyun-jung's friends?
I don't see anything different.
We don't know why he...
...suicide.
Did he really kill himself?
Yes. We found a letter in his handwriting.
- Suicide letter? - Yes, but the contents...
Sounds like a metaphorical poem.
Anyone know what day he's referring to?
- We're not sure. - So.
If anything comes to mind, feel free to contact me.
You really stopped?
Yeah, I call it quitting you too.
In that case, okay. Just leave the key in my office.
What?
Why are you here?
Hey!
What is she doing?
Hai, Do-hyun.
- Where are you? - At the gym to get ready.
Byung-joon.
Come to Je-il's funeral home...
- ...Hyun-jung committed suicide. - What?
You're not kidding. Hyun-jung is here.
What?
That's crazy! Who are you with?
Hyun-jung jumped off the roof of our school today!
Byung-joon! It's not Hyun-jung! Get out of there right now!
Keep your eyes closed.
Don't believe what you see.
Where are you?
I...
...currently...
...at the gym.
Byung-joon, come to Je-il's funeral home.
Hyun-jung...
- ...suicide. - What?
Before he killed himself...
...Hyun-jung called me.
Do-hyun...
...I...
..constantly seeing strange things.
I think something is wrong.
When I was hypnotized...
...I saw Seung-min...
...from the incident..
From the incident...
- ...that time. - Hyun-jung, it's okay. Calm down.
While being hypnotized I saw something.
It's just a memory.
Not! It's not just an ordinary memory!
Do-hyun.
Childhood was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
But...
...why..
Do-hyun.
I guess...
...Seung-min is here.
That's crazy! Why was he hypnotized?
She is dealing with her depression problem.
After breaking up with you, he had a problem with himself.
Hey.
He decided me first.
He wanted to focus on his career, so I agreed and decided.
I know. I don't blame you.
Then...
...I introduced him to a psychology professor to help him.
After hypnotherapy...
...she said she always saw Seung-min.
Who exactly is Seung-min?
Hyun-jung must have thought that I knew Seung-min too.
But I don't remember or know anyone by that name.
If I show up and survive. Promise I will be forgiven.
It does not matter. I will be fine.
- It does not matter. - Jin-ho..
There's not much time left.
Call 911, hurry!
Did you notice that there was something different about Jin-ho?
Nothing special, ma'am.
I am not sure.
All right, you can go.
I'm sorry, Professor.
It was fun when we were little, wasn't it?
I guess...
...Seung-min is here.
Yes-living?
Ja-woon's funeral home, Ja-woon's transportation, Ja-woon's church.
He cut it himself? Why?
I do not know.
Maybe it's stress, or something to do with fire.
Unlucky! Why do things like this keep happening?
Do you remember this?
That's me.
It's Byung-joon.
It's Chan-kyu, it's Hyun-jung.
I'm not sure of the others.
What does this have to do with Hyun-jung's suicide?
What Hyun-jung said before the incident bothered me.
He talks about our childhood...
...and he said he saw Seung-min.
Does that mean...
...Seung-min is in this photo?
I am not sure.
I do not remember.
But, when do we take this photo?
You and Hyun-jung...
...both hypnotized by Professor Choi?
Yes.
Let's go meet him.
Because you said you guys grew up in the same neighborhood...
...there is a possibility of recalling the same memories.
He called me...
...before he committed suicide.
He was frightened and said he could see what he saw when he was hypnotized.
Recalling a forgotten memory, it could be an image that remains...
...in his subconscious.
It doesn't sound like an ordinary picture.
In fact...
...after being hypnotized, I also saw something.
If what you say is true...
...could be triggered by hypnosis.
What does it mean?
That is, when we are in an unconscious state under certain conditions...
...you can be hypnotized again.
Is that really possible?
If you are triggered under hypnosis to feel depressed or afraid...
...it can make you want to kill yourself once you realize it.
Have you ever...
...be hypnotized by someone other than me?
Not.
If triggered by hypnosis...
...will we continue to hallucinate...
...and even suicide?
Triggered by hypnosis?
Do-hyun.
I've never been hypnotized.
But I think...
...I see what you see.
I haven't seen anything strange.
So, next time I meet that girl?
- Just report to the police. - Report what?
We see a strange girl?
Want to go to a mental hospital like Jin-hoo?
Unlucky! This is crazy!
Let's not draw any conclusions just yet.
Maybe we'll find something in the church in the photo.
Aren't you coming?
I have to go to the study hall.
Okay. We'll call you later.
Anything you remember?
Excuse me.
Is...
...do you know where this church is?
It's not a church, but a church run hospital.
Hospital?
WARNING DO NOT CROSS
Unlucky.
How about now?
We've come this far.
Let's just go in.
THIS IS PERSONAL PROPERTY THAT ENTERED WITHOUT PERMISSION
WILL BE PROCESSED AS A CRIMINAL ACTION
There's something here.
Do-hyun!
- What is it? - It does not matter.
Who is there?
I'm the manager here.
This place has been closed since 10 years ago.
Why is it closed?
- Something bad happened here. - What happened?
Why are you asking so many questions?
We live around here and come here every now and then.
We're looking for our first playmate.
What's his name?
Do you know a girl...
...whose name is Seung-min?
Know.
The worst thing that ever happened was...
He died here.
This hospital...
...provide consultation and treat troubled children.
The director will punish them in the dungeon...
...if they misbehave.
He also does bad things to girls.
Then one day a fire broke out here.
Seungmin is trapped in the rubble...
...and in the end he burned to death.
The police have already questioned the director.
But he committed suicide not long after that.
Since then, this place has been closed.
But a child then goes crazy...
...and he was sent...
- ...to the Division of Forensic Psychiatry. - Forensic Psychiatry?
- I'm going to see Professor Choi. - All right, I'll call you later.
Byung-joon.
Call Chan-kyu and stay with him.
Don't be alone.
Your nose is bleeding.
Unlucky! Is this what they saw?
He's been released.
really?
When?
About a month ago.
Do you have the number, sir?
It's a private number. I can't give it.
I have to meet him. Please help, sir.
I can not. There is a law.
Sir?
Why?
- Meet? - Yes.
The girl I saw while being hypnotized...
...he's been dead a long time.
I can't remember him.
- I do not know what happened. - Do-hyun.
Let's try the hypnosis again.
Later you will be able to see...
...who gave you that hypnosis.
Now...
...calm yourself and gaze at this light.
You will feel comfortable and at ease.
Your face is scary, so wear this.
Don't turn your back.
If you let go, you will die.
Stay here until we let you out, or you die.
If hungry, eat this.
It turned out to be us.
We did it.
What do you mean?
What have you guys done?
That's not what the director did...
...but we did it.
What does it mean?
Did you see the person who hypnotized you?
Tell me, did you see it or not?
Do-hyun!
You are okay?
Seung-min behind you!
There's no one here.
You and Hyun-jung were both hypnotized by Professor Choi.
What's wrong with you?
So you mean...
...he killed himself because he was hypnotized?
And you suspect Professor Choi?
He said he saw strange things after following his hypnosis.
I began to see strange things after being hypnotized by him.
What?
In that case, okay.
But can...
...you explain the last message? It's a lyric to a song called "Sealed."
Do you understand what that means?
What?
My memory load is different.
It was like a sharp dagger made of stone.
The rock pressing me down.
I've been asking to forget that day...
... and ask for forgiveness.
I will die to be the wind and fly away.
The song was written by a Korean...
...who committed suicide years ago.
But...
...his wife is a professor at your school.
In my school?
His name...
...Yeo Kyung-hee. You know him?
Their daughter with a problem on her face also died young.
Mom called you because she wanted help.
Why isn't the phone answered!
Unlucky.
That's Jin-ho, isn't it?
- He really went to your school? - I am not sure.
But...
...I think I know who hypnotized us all.
- Who do you mean? - The woman in the photo.
He was the professor who introduced me to Jin-ho.
What?
Not Professor Choi...
...but that woman?
Byung-joon.
When we were little...
...why...
...we do that?
What do you mean? What have we done?
What have we done?
Not now.
Come to my school with Chan-kyu. We'll talk directly.
Unlucky.
You're the one...
...that has hypnotized us, right?
Smells good, doesn't it?
It is made of Thujone.
It is used as a hallucinogenic...
...and a scent to create hypnosis.
How did your video turn out? Do-hyun.
- Yes. - Write down your name.
What have you done to us?
It wasn't me who left the trigger...
...or erase your memory.
I only...
...make you...
...to see Jin-ho again.
Why...
...you made me meet him?
Think about the reason...
...and try to remember it.
Memories can be deceiving.
We believe what we want.
And that's what came true.
That's why...
...you and Jin-ho...
...both say that the director killed Seung-min.
Not.
- We were just playing around. - Right.
Just playing around.
You did it like a joke.
You're still a child...
...who can do it, as if it were meaningless.
You tortured Seung-min over and over for fun.
Help me!
Please get me out!
Not!
Not.
My husband thought...
...he can treat kids like you.
We just...
...feeling scared Seung-min..
But the truth will never change.
Stuck in...
...burning drums...
...Seung-min finally died.
Look.
If you get into that drum...
...Seung-min will be waiting for you.
What exactly happened?
In the early 2000s in Korea...
...there are studies of children with abusive personality disorder.
The research tries to control the violence...
...by incorporating fear into their minds.
Do not be afraid...
...I'll make sure they can't torture you anymore.
Precisely now...
...they will be afraid of you.
The fear of hypnosis...
...turned into an attack on the target.
The research was eventually suspended.
When you meet Jin-ho again and hear this song...
...you will be under hypnosis...
...and finally meet Seung-min again.
