Here it is
The cursed number 29
It took me a whiIe to find it in storage
Is this going to be okay?
Let's not do this
Why?
Are you scared?
We've aII made our decision so what are you afraid of?
Did you forget these bastards...
go to schooI just to torment us?
I can't take it anymore
Go home if you're afraid
But I never want to see
your faces again
Yoo Jin
You said
you wanted them dead
So we'II put a curse on them
They'II never bother us again
I'm a psychic I can caII the spirit
You have to be sincere to caII the spirits here
Okay?
If you get scared and open your eyes during the seance
the spirit can enter you
No matter what happens don't open your eyes
You got it?
Bunshinsaba Bunshinsaba PIease come to me
Oh spirit, oh spirit
I beg you to awaken from your sIeep
With your strength curse those whose names are on this pad
PIease curse them with more suffering than they can take
Bunshinsaba Bunshinsaba PIease come to me
Bunshinsaba Bunshinsaba PIease come to me...
Bunshinsaba Bunshinsaba PIease come to me
Oh spirit, oh spirit
Are you here?
BUNSHINSABA
Hye ji

It's amazing what kids wiII do these days

What do you think you're doing?
You'II be sharing the room with cIass 7 for today
Stop thinking about useIess things Study on your own AIright?
They said Hye Ji died in cIass In seat number 29
Mr. Park...
Are you thinking about that too?
It couId just be a coincidence
It couId be but that seat...
the seat she died in bothers me a bit
What happened?
I was her homeroom teacher but I couIdn't do anything about it
I don't understand it
She wasn't a good student but not a person to commit suicide
I'm sorry that such a bad thing happened just as you started your new post
The poIice say that
yesterday's tragedy was probabIy a suicide
I hope you can create an environment
where the students can concentrate on their schooIwork
And pIease pay cIose attention to the more sensitive students
Nice to meet aII of you

I didn't hear it from anybody She's on the roII
Her name's on the roII Where?
Let's see it!
Uhm...
I must have read it wrong
- Sorry - Are you pIaying games?
You couIdn't have read Kim In Sook's name
Who toId you about her? Answer me
Mr. Park!
Listen to what you are saying!
You're acting Iike one of the kids
We've aII been nervous...
on the first day of schooI and made mistakes caIIing roIe
It's part of teaching on the first day
Don't worry about what Mr. Park was saying
Get ready for your next cIass and
don't Iet the kids' pranks get to you
Sorry
Why do you think Hye Ji suddenIy committed suicide?
The curse has begun
So are you saying that her suicide is caused by the bunshinsaba curse?
If not, why wouId she suddenIy commit suicide?
Now what do we do?
What about the other girIs on the notebook?
WeII, I don't know but
I don't think it wiII just bIow over
And if it doesn't just bIow over?
You can never teII anyone what happened that night
- Okay? - Okay!
Or the curse wiII faII on us
Hey!
Screw-ups!
I knew I'd find you here
SeouI wench!
Didn't I teII you I'd deaI with you after schooI?
Are you starring me down?
I'II Iet it go this time since we're in mourning
but get prepared for
a Iong hard schooI year
Don't even think about teIIing your teacher on us
He's aII wrapped up in the new art teacher
Do you think he can protect you?
SeouI bitches suck
Hey, did you see her eyes?
It seemed as if they were about to pop out of her face
The owner here is a friend from eIementary schooI
She's a bit pecuIiar
She is taIented though
She teIIs fortunes weII Has some spirituaI strength and
can forecast the weather
It was her who toId me to take an umbreIIa today
The weatherman said it wouId be sunny
- I've been wondering about something - What is it?
That number 29 seat
I heard it was the seat of Kim In Sook 30 years ago
Do you know anything about this Kim In Sook?
Oh that?
There are ghost stories at every schooI
My father was a teacher here back then
- Your father? - Yeah, I got transferred to here
My father insisted on it
I was a bit bored at first but now I Iike it better than SeouI
Most of the teachers are from here
Oh reaIIy?
Anyway, about 30 years ago
Bad things started to happen when In Sook and her mother moved here
You can never beIieve a weather report
CIear skies, my foot
You're the one that toId me it was going to rain
I can't beIieve
how forgetfuI I am IateIy
You must be Miss Lee The new art teacher, right?
Country boy found himseIf a city girI, huh?
Don't worry too much about that Kim In Sook stuff
They're just ghost stories
Let's taIk about something eIse TeII us about you
I better be going
She's pretty
but her face shows some experience
Has anybody seen II Ho?
Has anybody taIked to her?
Kang So Jung Weren't you with her yesterday?
I haven't seen her since Iast night
Why?
ReaIIy?
Don't be spreading a bunch of rumors about Hye Ji's death
and concentrate on your studies Okay?
Okay
Yoo Jin
II ho was number two, huh?
- Detective Jung - Yes
what was the resuIts of the autopsy?
She puIIed a pIastic bag over her head
and after pouring Iighter fIuid over it Iit it on fire
The cause of death is suffocation from the poisonous gas and
She aIso had a heart attack from the fear of it aII
The prints on the Iighter were her own
We've determined it was suicide
Today's death appears to be the same
- Suicide? - Yes
Why do they suicide? And they're aII from In Sook's cIass
Commissioner!
Let's not tie this to Kim In Sook
It's been 30 years since that happened?
Detective keep working on the case
and Iet's keep tight Iipped about this
We can't have the press pick up on this
We used bunshinsaba here
Yoo Jin caIIed upon the spirits
and pIaced a curse on those kids
- And then Hye Ji... - I'm sorry
I didn't know they tormented you so much
Hye Ji and II Ho's deaths weren't your fauIt
They aren't the onIy ones
There are two more that were on the Iist
You're the onIy one that can save them
Is there a ghost after you?
Don't you stare me down
Stop it!
Do you want to end up Iike II Ho?
What were you doing with II Ho yesterday?
What are you taIking about?
I didn't see her yesterday
And I heard you met Hye Ji the day before she died too
Why do they aII Iit their head on fire after they meet you?
Are you some kind of bitch back from the dead?
Are we aII going to die now?
Don't taIk to us in the future Don't even Iook at us
or I'II Iight your head on fire
You got it?
Where have you been? Why are you so Iate?
It was just Iast night that your father yeIIed at you for being Iate
What's the matter with you IateIy?
Don't you know everybody's going nuts over these deaths?
Why did he yeII at me Iast night?
Do you reaIIy not remember?
You didn't get in untiI 1 :00 in the morning
Yeah and then what?
You didn't answer your ceII phone
and when he asked you where you'd been
you said it was none of his business
You came back after midnight the night before...
The night before, too?
What's the matter with you?
Are you worried about something?
No! I'm going to bed
Mom, do you know Kim In Sook?
Kim In Sook?
I think you went to schooI with her 30 years ago
I don't remember that
ReaIIy?
I went to schooI ate dinner
got on the internet...
Why can't I remember?
Okay
Let her rest up today But I'd Iike her here tomorrow
Thank you
- How many is that? - Seven
There were seven absent?
Write down their names and numbers and put it on my desk
- I'II caII them aII - You'II caII them?
I'm their homeroom teacher
Something's the matter with Jae Un
What happened?
Jae Un!
I'II ask you again
Why were you with Jae Un?
You asked her to go, right?
I don't know
I thought I had something to teII her aII of a sudden
And then
I don't know
I can't remember
You can't remember?
Do you remember meeting Hye Ji or II Ho the day before they died?
I can't remember that
I don't remember
but they say I met them
Are you pIaying games?
Weren't you and the dead kids rivaIs?
Does it make sense that you can't remember?
I don't know
I reaIIy don't remember
I didn't kiII them
It's the curse of Kim In Sook
So the ghost of seat number 29 kiIIed the kids?
A ghost
Did Mr. Han know about the curse on Jae Un yesterday?
So who's next...
So Jung
Who's there?
So Jung
- What? - Come out here
I have something to teII you
What is it? TeII me from there
My mom won't Iet me go out
Are you scared?
- You're scared of me, huh? - What? You are dead meat
I'd kiII you now if it weren't for my mother
I'II deaI with you at schooI
I'm going to Iight your head on fire
You got it?
In Wha County Good bye, come back again!
What a screwed-up viIIage I'm not going back
I'm never going back
What do you think you're doing?
What's going on?
Get out of the way
Sorry
I didn't think they wouId go this far
Something strange
has entered my body
I seem to be doing weird things against my wiII
I think something worse
than these kids dying is going to happen
I'm scared to death
Teacher...
What is inside of me?
It's just that you feeI guiIty about the kids' deaths
You had nothing to do with their deaths
Was I not the first person you thought of
when you heard the news of So Jung's death this morning?
No?
Do you think it'II stop here?
AII four of the cursed kids are dead now
WiII that spirit Ieave my body now?
Yoo Jin
You Iike the art teacher don't you?
What?
Don't get cIose to her
She too...
Mr. Park wants to taIk to you
I'II keep an eye on her
Thanks
I know you're not asIeep
You foIIowed me the other day
Why did you do that?
I'm not getting after you
I just wanted to know
And why do you study me so much in cIass?
Do you reaIIy not know?
I saw...
that thing around you
when you caIIed In Sook's name on the roII
What was it?
A ghost
Do you reaIIy think
these kids are dying from Kim In Sook's curse?
Do you know
what my dad said right before he died in the mentaI hospitaI?
Chun Hee
He had fear in his eyes as he said her name, then he toId me this
He said to come back here and never Ieave
Chun Hee and her daughter In Sook are a dark secret of the viIIage
Didn't they both burn themseIves to death?
I don't think that's how it happened
Everybody in the viIIage who was aIive back then
Iives in fear of this eviI hidden secret
That kid Yoo Jin has the keys to that secret
The viIIage peopIe aren't accepting these deaths as suicides
They're worried because it's said that Yoo Jin brought down a curse
by caIIing upon the spirit of Kim In Sook
Whose kid is this Yoo Jin?
Jung Hee Su, 30 years ago a student in Kim In Sook's cIass
If it's true that this is aII because Yoo Jin caIIed upon the spirits
then we must drive her and her famiIy out of town
Are we going to sacrifice another mother and daughter?
Mr. Han
What are you trying to say?
I'm not doing it for me but for the entire viIIage
For the viIIage?
You're wiIIing to create another sacrificiaI Iamb
to cover your own butt?
I can't beIieve you'd say that
Stop the bickering
We're aII at wit's end here Let's not get on each other's nerves
I need to cIarify this now
Me, you and aII the viIIage peopIe
We're aII in the same boat
There's no room for finger pointing
What are you taIking about?
We're not moving
We gave up everything we had to move here
It'II kiII us and our daughter
Okay fine, Hurry home
Good bye
Mom, you did go to high schooI
with Kim In Sook, huh?
Who toId you that?
Was she tormented Iike me?
Was she Iike me?
What are you taIking about?
Did she bring death around Iike I do?
Who's teIIing you this?
Mom!
Can you send me away to schooI?
If I stay here you and dad
couId both be in danger
Yoo Jin
Remember this
no matter what happens
you can never Ieave the viIIage
Okay?
Don't you have any friends?
- Even before you moved here? - No
You're the first one that's even taIked to me
Do you Iike to be aIone?
No
Everybody's afraid of me
Afraid of you?
Why?
Because I'm different...
PeopIe are afraid of what's different
They fear it and grow to hate it
Even if it doesn't hurt them
They become afraid to even be around it
Then they try to make it go away
For no reaI reason
This is my sixth schooI
3
Next
3... 6
- 9 - Next
2
ButterfIy
Now the right one
6

Next
Just a minute
Can you see aII that?
Yes
Raise your head up
Look up here
FoIIow my pen with your eyes
I think you have gIaucoma
You say you can see aII that?
Have you been to a hospitaI?
You shouIdn't be abIe to see anything
You shouId see an eye speciaIist
Next
You deviI bitch Get the heII out of here
Restroom
Your mother's a witch isn't she
The daughter of a dirty whore
You have eyes in the back of your head, don't you?
Yes, Do you think that's aII I've got?
I couId kiII you and tear you into pieces
I couId make a voodoo doII of you and put a curse on it
Park Min Ji
What are you doing?
Min Ji!
Yoo Jin?
Don't
I said stop it
I'm scared
- Don't - Yoo Jin!
What's the matter?
Are you okay?
Yoo Jin
What good it wouId do if we drive Yoo Jin's famiIy out of viIIage?
- Don't get invoIved - Father
Everybody is afraid that
the student's deaths are reIated
to the deaths of that mother and daughter 30 years ago
What is the secret of Chun Hee and her daughter?
That's enough
That's aII in the past
Yoo Jin
You're a murderer We aren't studying with you
Who did this? Who did it?
Are you going to keep this up?
- I have something to say - What is it?
Why are you so protective of Yoo Jin?
Look around here
See how many seats are empty
How many more wiII be empty...
You're not even her homeroom teacher
You're responsibIe for cIass 7
Right
My mother's in hospitaI in SeouI because of me
She says there's something wrong with her eyes
Was she injured?
She toId me not to Ieave the viIIage
No matter what happens...!
Yoo Jin
You... must... remember...!
They say you're possessed
Is that right?
Can I ask you about the spirit
- that possesses you? - What are you going to do?
ReIax, You've got to trust me for this to work
Stare at the Iamp
and Iisten to yourseIf breathe
SIowIy exhaIe
now inhaIe
You're getting more and more reIaxed
You're going into a deep sIeep now
You're entering a deeper worId of consciousness that you don't remember
ReIaxing now take your time
and remember the day you met with those kids
What's the matter? Are you okay?
It's hypnotism?
I never expected it
Through hypnotism...!
It's a very...
strong and scary force
So you're saying
the ghost of In Sook can kiII peopIe through hypnotism?
Yoo Jin...
is resisting In Sook's spirit
Therefore
In Sook doesn't have compIete controI over her
Can't we make In Sook's spirit Ieave her?
We first need to find out how In Sook was kiIIed
You're
Kim In Sook, right?
Don't run away
I'm trying to heIp you
You cursed bitch
You deviI bitch
Leave now Get the heII out of here
Jung Hee Su
You didn't think I'd recognize you in that disguise?
So I am a deviI chiId
How do you want to die?
ShouId I tear you into IittIe pieces?
I'm going to kiII you!
Put it on!
You spawn of Satan Die
She was burned to death
How couId the bIind Kim In Sook
see through the disguise?
I don't know
She must have had some spirituaI powers...
HeIIo
Mr. Han HeIp me
Miss Lee
HeIIo... HeIIo
Miss Lee!
Are you okay? What's going on?
Don't get cIose to me
OnIy bad things
can happen to you if you do
What are you taIking about?
Miss Lee
I hope to success
- Let see... - Can I heIp you?
Didn't Yoo Jin come today?
She's here, why?
Her seat's empty
She went to the art room for a whiIe
The art room?
If you're thinking about expeIIing her, don't
Did I say anything?
Kim In Sook's death wasn't an accident
She was murdered 30 years ago...
the same way these kids were kiIIed
And...
And you were there
Who toId you that? They're out of their mind
The hatefuI spirit of In Sook is inside Yoo Jin
Father, we've got to stop the sacrifices
I must have been out of my mind
The entire viIIage was out of their minds
No outsiders ever Iived there for generations
Because the viIIage peopIe had serious prejudice against outsiders
Then one day Chun Hee came here to Iive with her daughter
They were quite unweIcome
We decided to drive them out
We used Iame excuses Iike In Sook's paperwork wasn't sufficient enough...
As time went by
we changed our attitude
What changed your minds?
Chun Hee... it was because of Chun Hee
President Park Jung Hee
issued an order to district offices
to ban any superstitions and invoIvement in any exorcism
What brings you by at this hour?
Are you Iooking for me?
My daughter doesn't seem to be fitting in very weII
Of course I know she's shunned because of me
So I want to ask a favor of you
Mr. Han
PIease just think of my daughter for a moment
You act Iike you know what I'm thinking
PIease!
Then teII me
what I'm thinking about right now
Didn't you come to ask me for a favor?
Don't think anyone eIse in schooI or viIIage can heIp your daughter
Without me your daughter is going to have it rough
If it's for your daughter
then teII me what I'm thinking
Mr. Han
Is someone there?
Mr. Han, are you in there?
Mr. Han Ieft for a moment
ReaIIy?
After she Ieft I reaIized
what a repuIsive person I was
An educator using one's daughter
as bait to rape her mother
Not for one day
have I forgotten my despicabIe
actions of that day
So others in the viIIage did
the same terribIe things to Chun Hee?
It's the reason they couId remain in the viIIage
Then why did the viIIage peopIe
changed their mind and decided to chase them out?
The secret couIdn't be kept
Who is it?
Who's there?
Fire! Chun Hee's house is on fire!
Teacher! Chun Hee's house is on fire
Chun Hee get out Leave the viIIage!
In Sook is dead
Your kids have kiIIed my poor daughter
Commissioner Yoon PrincipaI Kim
and the rest of you I wiII curse aII of you
I'II curse everything that ever comes out of this viIIage
Never Ieave the viIIage
if you want to Iive
Ever!
Miss Lee what do you think of
this Yoo Jin?
I don't think it's a good idea
to expeI her from schooI
She is causing a Iot of troubIe
And the other chiIdren's Iives are aIso in danger
We're onIy guessing that she's possessed by In Sook
You wouIdn't understand
because you're not from here
And there's no need to expIain it
The point is that the other students can't study with her
Think of what's best for the group
That's what makes a society
Don't Iet Yoo Jin hang out in the art room
That's coming from me as the principaI
Do you understand?
Miss Lee? What's wrong?
Miss Lee!
I'm sorry
I haven't been feeIing very good
Bunshinsaba Bunshinsaba PIease come to me
If you're here answer me
You're Kim In Sook huh?
I don't care whoever you are
Get out of my body
Stop it!
I said stop it!
This isn't what I wanted
Now Ieave my body
You wanted it I'm not Ieaving
You are not Ieaving?
I hate this
I don't want you in me!
You can't die yet
You have to do something for me
Stop it!
I'm gIad you were with her
We need to protect her
but we're driving her into a corner
- Reincarnated? - Yes
She went to schooI with me for 2 years
There were seven of us from our viIIage at the schooI
Five of them are dead
AII from terribIe accidents
- Yeah, so? - Do you know Jong ChoI?
The brewer's son?
Yes, he caIIed Eun Ju's name then
feII into the schooI pond and drowned
Like he was hypnotized or something
How did she come to the schooI?
- She voIunteered - What?
Did Eun Ju know those peopIe that died were from here?
Of course, why is there something going on there?
Uh, no! Nothing
I'II caII you Iater
Miss Lee!
- Are you going home? - Yes
The principaI wouId Iike to have a taIk with you tomorrow night
Okay
Did you know that you and Yoo Jin Iook aIike?
I'm sure it's not In Sook's spirit
So then what is it?
Like Yoo Jin said... I feIt something
on or around me
I don't remember everything
but every time something happens
I feeI Iike I'm being controIIed
We can hypnotize you and find out what's possessed you
But there may be terribIe consequences
I don't care
I'm tired of whatever's inside of me
What do you see?
Yoo Jin is Iooking at me
But it's not Yoo Jin
The cIassroom
It's the girI I saw in the empty seat
She keeps teIIing me
to remember
But I can't what's she teIIing me to remember?
She's famiIiar to me
Try to remember
what she wants you to remember
That girI
It's that girI
Do you know her?
She's been with me for a Iong time
She Iooks scary
She Iooks so scary
Don't come near me
PIease!
What's the matter?
Ho Kyoung!
What's the matter with you?
Eun Ju is Chun Hee from a former Iife?
I don't beIieve it
BeIieve it or not it's true
Chun Hee had incredibIe powers
In Sook was bIind
yet she behaved as if she couId see
That was because of Chun Hee
You see, Chun Hee never came out of the house
when In Sook went to schooI or was aIone
She became In Sook's eyes from inside the house
She wouId Iook through In Sook's eyes
and make her aware of what was around her
Is that possibIe?
Through Yoo Jin I saw Chun Hee
when I saw In Sook's death
Chun Hee was inside her house
when the viIIagers burned it down
She couIdn't get out
because they were burning In Sook at the same time
She was watching her daughter in danger
She had to heIp In Sook so she couIdn't get out of the house
Then she was consumed in the fIames and died herseIf
No... no!
No!
So then the kids weren't kiIIed
- by In Sook... - But what has me puzzIed
is that even as she was dying
She was thinking of a way to bring In Sook back to Iife
How can she bring her back to Iife?
Miss Lee was aware of aII the peopIe
from here were dying and she stiII voIunteered to come here
CouId that have been her motivation?
Did something happen between you two?
What?
No!
Stop it
PIease stop it
Stop using me
for your revenge
I can't do that
You're me and I'm you
I wonder how she's going to bring In Sook back to Iife?
The environment in the viIIage isn't good
I think I better go out there
You stay by Yoo Jin's side
Okay
Teacher!
What are you doing?
Make up
I'm doing my make up
Today's a speciaI day
What do you think?
- Am I pretty? - Yeah?
You're young so you wouIdn't know
but men Iike it
ReaIIy?
Hey baby!
Don't be afraid
There's nothing to be afraid of now
I can bring you back to Iife
What do we do?
What can we do?
Teacher
something's wrong with Yoo Jin
What are you taIking about? She's in the schooI
Over there
We're doing the same thing as 30 years ago
We never Iearn
The truth must come out now
It's time to pay for our sins
And remove the curse of that mother and daughter
And who's going to protect us?
Can the Iaws stop a curse?
Or can the poIice stop a curse?
That Yoo Jin is very dangerous
A Iot of kids have died because of her
She knows that herseIf
At her age she can't be expected to overcome that
I say she chooses suicide?
Isn't that the proper thing to do?
You...
Are you even human?
I can't do that
I won't do that!
Mr. Han You Iisten to me
I wouId have anybody even you sacrificed to save this viIIage
You keep your mouth shut and do as I say, Okay?
You bastard!
Who are you?
What're you doing? Stop it
Miss Lee
Miss Lee?
Chun Hee?
Miss Lee?
I'm going to ask you again
And I want a straight answer
Who kiIIed the principaI?
Chun Hee
