Doors closing.
YOO SE-AH
How do you know she got transferred for bullying?
'Cause she looks mean.
I think she's sad.
My mom told me her parents committed suicide, so her aunt had to adopt her.
-Really? -Both of them? That's crazy.
I heard it runs in families Maybe she's nuts too.
I heard a rumor that she's the one who murdered them.
You're a junior track and field legend.
Yoo Se-ah, future long champ of Korea!
-Be quiet. -I do long jump too!
-We can train together. -Can you shush?
-Shut up, Geon-woo. -That hurts!
Don't do that, Na-ri. You could ruin my career.
They're idiots.
Still stuck in the third grade. So immature.
If anyone bothers you, tell me right away.
And when you need to copy homework,
you come to Ha-joon.
You know that's called plagiarism.
But, uh, s… since you're new here,
I… I could tutor you after school if you wanted?
And I'll help you with the training. I'll be your partner.
I present the most legendary and loyal skeleton. A real-life hero.
He is my trusted lieutenant.
We will protect you from evil, and this we pledge through thick or thin.
Listen! Put it away. You have to fight it.
No! No.
No! No. No. No!
No! You're okay! You're okay!
Everyone, get inside! Close the door! No! Don't come out here!
Get inside. Get inside now!
Close the door!
IF WISHES COULD KILL
It's a suicide.
No doubt about it.
You've been very helpful.
You're free to go.
Right.
Can you… try to handle this as quickly as possible for the other kids?
I'd like to go get some clothes out of my locker if that's okay?
HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF
Friggin' faker.
I know you're not sleeping in there!
It's a beautiful night.
I can just keep yelling till you're done acting stubborn!
Hyeong-wook!
I swear, if I have to, I'll climb the wall.
Do you really have to try to punish me like this?
You know I have to take this training seriously.
You think I'm mad at you 'cause you can't make it?
It's your present.
You don't have to open it now, but you have to take it.
I already feel bad enough that I can't come. Everyone else can.
Not true.
Geon-woo isn't even coming either.
Bull. Who told you that?
He and Ha-joon are going.
And where Geon-woo goes, Na-ri will follow.
Take my gift!
And stop sulking. Hm?
Here. We'll do something, the two of us.
When you're done being mad about whatever.
Happy birthday.
Se-ah.
I had…
a really weird phone call earlier.
It was your number on the screen,
and it sounded just like you.
A voice like yours was making fun of me with the others.
Only it wasn't you.
I believed it, and now I feel dumb.
Se-ah!
The nurse told me you were here.
It's awful!
It's all right.
It's all right. Thank God you're okay.
I heard you tried to stop it.
I'm sorry I couldn't save him.
There's nothing more you could have done.
Now, promise me you'll go straight home and rest. Okay?
I'll go and talk to your teacher.
You poor thing. Goodness.
I've canceled today's training. Why don't you go home and rest?
Take a few days off.
All right.
Are you okay on your own? Or should I take you home?
I can…
I can make it.
You sure?
Remember, no practice this weekend.
Please let Se-ah's training be canceled this weekend.
If it granted a perfect score in math, why wouldn't it cancel training?
Would it be all right
if I came to training,
instead of taking rest days, Coach?
I think it'd be better if I was around--
That was close. Are you all right, Se-ah?
GIRIGO
"Your wish has been granted."
Did a timer come on?
Is it on yet?
Did your sessions get canceled already?
So the wishes
start the countdown.
Training is canceled!
Training is canceled! Training is canceled! Training is canceled!
Training is canceled!
I'll disconnect it from the web and reset it.
DELETE ALL
POWERING OFF…
When did your coach cancel?
11:26.
How do you know exactly?
I took my phone out to check the time
when the panel nearly hit us.
The message showed up at that time, too, right?
-Mm. -You sure it's not a hacker?
I'm not sure, actually.
It's not! This isn't some stupid hacking thing.
I saw what it did to Hyeong-wook in class.
Are you saying this app is a murderer?
That you put this thing on your phone to grant wishes,
and when your wish comes true a timer appears,
and it forces you to kill yourself when it runs out?
Hyeong-wook's countdown started when he got his wish, and now this one's on.
You know what happened at zero.
When it counts down, your life's over.
Uh-huh.
So just because you think that's what happened, it's true?
You're the only one who was there. How do we know you're not lying?
Everybody else was there.
Why would I be lying, Na-ri?
-I'm not sure. -I'm covered in his blood!
-How the fuck can you say that?! -Why didn't you stop it then?!
She didn't mean that.
-She's upset. -Why was she the last with him?
We were the ones who knew him way before she came along!
Maybe it's your fault he's dead!
What if you're possessed, like they thought when you first got here?
Enough. That's not true!
Why don't you ever choose me instead of her?
You could defend me instead of buying into her suicidal app bullshit!
Na-ri, it's not like that. It's just…
It's because I see them.
They're so badly hurt I can hardly recognize my own parents.
Nightmares that haunt me since they died.
-Se-ah. -I miss them.
I know what it's like to lose someone…
who you really loved.
And I don't want to have to go through it ever again.
Not with you.
Or you.
Or Ha-joon.
Why would you? We're not gonna off ourselves.
GIRIGO
We're right back to square one. This isn't some normal app.
And the timer's still going.
What if we break the phone? Will it stop it?
No. The app won't stop working just 'cause your phone does.
I need to go home and get my laptop.
We need to take a closer look.
See how this app is designed.
How about we all get together at my house and try to figure this thing out?
Na-ri,
you're with us, right?
Yeah.
I wish you'd told us sooner.
About the nightmares you've been having.
I could have tried to help you do something about it.
I'm sorry.
When I first moved here,
I swore my jumping days were over.
But you know why I didn't quit then?
Ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk.
I was miserable when I first got here.
I was spending all my time alone.
But I knew I wasn't alone. I could hear you thunking on the ceiling.
And since that very first day at school,
you… have been talking my ear off
about how I could win the gold.
Since day one,
you've been there for me.
Your footsteps kept me from feeling alone. So did your words.
You did everything, Geon-woo.
Hold on.
I can hang out with you if you want.
Mm-mm. I'll see you tonight.
It's been a big day for all of us. You should try to get a little rest.
Mm-hmm.
SE-AH
Hey, Se-ah.
You okay?
I don't know if it's pathetic or hilarious.
"Guys, stop it. You'll end my career."
-As if! -I know.
Fucking sad he takes it so seriously.
Are they down there?
Does he think he's got that potential?
What do you see in that loser, anyway?
You want him?
You take that back. No fucking way. I'm not that desperate.
Anyway, how long do you think that idiot will hold out?
Hm. I think it'll be game over before dark.
-What are you doing here? -Don't say anything.
Listen.
Oh shit. It stopped.
I think my phone got hacked. Some kind of deepfake thing.
-Deepfake? -Yeah.
The voices, they sounded exactly like you and the others.
Only you were talking behind my back in a way that you never would.
Is there something wrong?
Hyeong-wook heard those voices too.
Except he believed what they were saying.
I'll transfer all the system apps and the Girigo into here,
so I can analyze it.
I'll do a factory reset to get it off your phone.
What?
Didn't it work?
It's working fine, but it's very unusual.
Nothing in this code indicates it could act the way that it does.
Anything about the timer?
Can you try to turn it off or delete it when you do the reset?
Mm.
It'll take a few minutes.
-Then it'll be over? -Mm.
Geon-woo, are you crying?
No!
I've got something in my eye.
-Go run it under cold water or-- -No!
Geon-woo,
what's going on?
Hey…
You.
Stay away.
Geon-woo!
I don't want to!
No. Stay away.
Stop it.
No, please!
Geon-woo!
Please leave, guys.
Get out of here, before… Agh!
Hold him! I'll get the first-aid kit.
Geon-woo, I got you!
Hold still!
Call 119! Call 119! We need an ambulance!
Call them! Se-ah!
Tell them to hurry!
I need an ambulance at Gwandong Village, block 323, door number 608.
It's an emergency! Please hurry! Geon-woo!
Stop jumping!
-We need help now! -I got you!
-Hurry! -Hang on! Help is on the way!
-They're coming. -No!
Hang on!
Stay on the line and keep talking.
Are you still there?
I think you should call the police.
You asshole!
Everyone dies because of you, you filthy bastard.
You fucking nobody. Think you can stop this?
You and your loser friends are all gonna die.
"It hurts!"
"I can't breathe."
No!
SEORIN HOSPITAL
PHYSICIAN: YOO JI-SUN
Se-ah, if you really want me to help,
you're gonna have to tell me what the hell's going on.
-How's Geon-woo? -Still unconscious.
But the reason he's not awake
isn't due to what you did to him.
If it's not because I knocked him out, why is he still unconscious?
We're really not sure yet,
but we're doing everything we can to make sure he's all right.
-Can I see him, Auntie? -You need to rest.
Worry about yourself. We'll worry about him.
You kept Geon-woo from becoming a murderer.
All his parents know is that we called the ambulance.
Do you need stuff?
Some clothes, or your toothbrush, or whatever?
No, thanks.
I got everything I need. My aunt brought it for me.
What about you?
Isn't all your stuff at my house?
Nothing that can't wait till later.
Stop by whenever you want then. The code is my birthday.
You wanna know what my biggest concern was when I woke up today?
"Oh crap. I'm gonna be late."
I was freaking out 'cause I didn't want another detention.
I hear you.
I keep hoping we'll wake up.
KANG HA-YOUNG
-Hello? -Don't touch it.
-And don't try to deprogram it again. -What?
Don't play innocent with me, Ha-joon.
The curse turned your friend into a bloody maniac.
You nearly died earlier.
If that girl hadn't taken him out, I'd be planning your funeral.
How do you know all this stuff?
You don't challenge the powers like that.
-Powers? -The Jugu.
A conduit for demonic curses.
A smartphone is a conduit for demons?
Jugu is like a shape-shifter.
It uses anything that's capable of capturing someone's thoughts.
Letters, pictures, social media.
And then weaponizes it to unleash a curse.
This is serious.
You need to come over here so we can talk.
You never wanted me there before. What's changed?
Our visit'll have to wait, Ha-joon. Where's the girl who saved you?
Se-ah?
HA-JOON
Heart rhythm?
Asystole!
Administering epinephrine!
Come on!
No! Don't do this!
You can't leave Se-ah like this. Please!
Come on!
GIRIGO DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THIS APP?
INSTALLING…
Bangwool, get your dagger.
One,
write down your name and birth date on a piece of paper.
Two,
hold up the paper facing the camera and turn on the Girigo app.
Three,
press the record button,
and make your wish.
Four,
press the send button to launch your wish.
SENDING WISH…
Se-ah!
Did I do it right, Hyeong-wook?
You just made a wish. Do you want to die?
I can't watch anyone else I love die.
I wouldn't survive.
You'd rather die with this curse?
So you do believe in curses?
Not just a geek after all.
Please, Se-ah.
When Hyeong-wook went crazy at school,
he was yelling at someone.
Or you'll be fucking sorry!
Hey.
And the same thing happened with Geon-woo.
There's something only the person on the timer can see.
I'm going to figure out what it is.
If I can manage to confront it,
then I'll be able to save us all.
WISH GRANTED
Five,
the timer
cannot be stopped.
Doctor! He's breathing on his own.
Hyeong-wook didn't know about that last one.
He didn't know that when the timer hits zero, you die.
I want for Geon-woo to be fully recovered.
That is my wish.
But I know.
They started eight hours apart.
Did the timer
just stop? er
