The Ring Virus (링)

- Hello? - Hello. I'm home alone.

My parents went to some alumni get-together. They don't give a damn about their daughter.

Hey, if...

Kyung-Ah just paged me. She left this voicemail trying to scare me.

Yeah? Forget about it. Hey, let's go for a ride.

- No, I can't. I have exams next week. - Don't be such a wet blanket. Come on.

- My parents are going to be home soon. - Quit being a tease. You know that place...

What?

Chang! What's wrong?

You look good enough to put in a frame.

So, you can replicate me?

Eun Kyung Shin

In this age of modern science of cloning,

I'm trying to discover who I am through the body.

Jin Yeong Jeong

Asexuality, cloning... So multi-sexuality is the key word, right?

Chang Wan Kim

The ancient Greeks had an affinity for bisexuality.

The best of both worlds, a combination of feminine beauty and masculine strength.

Multi-sexuality which breaks the boundaries...

Bae Doona

between genders was admired and worshipped two thousand years ago.

Yoon Joo Sang

By eliminating the complications of human intercourse,

half of the problem was solved.

Alright, sweetie. Mommy will be home soon. But you shouldn't call when mommy's working.

- My outfit's all ready, mommy. - OK.

- Honey, you mustn't say anything to them. - Why not?

Aunt and uncle will be very sad.

- Because of cousin Sang-Mi? - Yes.

Is Sang-Mi really dead?

Boram...

Let her be. It's OK.

You want something to drink, honey?

Hello? Listen, kid, how many times do I have to tell you?

I've looked for it and it's not here!

- Excuse me. - Do you know what today is?

Here, let me.

Hello? I'm Sang-Mi's aunt.

I'll find the resort membership card for you. OK?

In the meantime, could you hold off on the phone calls?

- Boram, what are you doing in here? - I heard something.

Stop that. Uncle's looking for you.

It's not here. I've searched for it many times... Don't open that!

She was in there... dead...

with a fist full of her own hair...

Please don't cry. Sang-Mi's in a better place now.

I'm not really sure. I knew she was a model student.

Well, I'm not an intimate friend of hers.

The resort card that Sang-Mi borrowed, would you know where it is?

I was going to go with them, but only Sang-Mi and Kyung-Ah went.

Kyung-Ah... OK, I'll call her.

But... Kyung-Ah is...

- What about Kyung-Ah? - You don't know?

Don't know what?

She's dead, too.

What? When?

The same day that Sang-Mi died. It was all over the news.

Dating Couple Dies at Midnight

Hey...

Did you write this?

- Put on your glasses. - I wear them when I need them.

You wouldn't wear a condom all day, would you?

Is there any other reference material?

- Why are you so interested in this case? - She was a friend of my late niece.

She was found in a state of full arousal.

Just when they were about to get into it, they kicked the bucket.

Was there anything suspicious? Strangulation?

There was no internal bleeding. The police say it was a heart attack.

No substance abuse?

What do you want to hear?

The case isn't over...

There is no case. It was a heart attack.

Although there was one weirdo at the autopsy.

He said something about a supernatural shock or something equally ridiculous. Pretty funny really.

Wait...

Hey, stop.

Sun-Joo...

Did you know Lee, Dong-Joon, the guy who died with Kyung-Ah?

I never met him. She told me he was some guy she knew.

Do you think Dong-Joon went to the resort with them?

It's okay. I won't get mad...

Yeah, he did. Kyung-Ah told me after she returned.

So, it was the three of them.

Actually, there was one more.

A friend of Dong-Joon went with them.

You shouldn't jump into something like this.

There's something strange. Why would you grab your own hair during a heart attack?

Park touches his ear when he gets writer's block. I touch my feet...

others pull their hair.

Is this the doctor with the unconventional diagnosis?

He was the best at sawing heads open, but I heard he's off his rocker now.

He's not worth your time.

Excuse me.

Well...

Are you Dr. Choi? I called earlier today.

You said that the deaths were caused...

by a supernatural shock, contrary to other opinions.

Are you claiming homicide?

Do you have any medical evidence to support your claim?

No. It's just a gut feeling.

But shouldn't there be evidence in a case like this?

Well, Ms. journalist, do you have any evidence?

It could be a new virus produced by the recent meteor shower.

Nobody knew what AIDS was when it was first discovered.

Have you thought about that?

For instance, the theory that the same virus killed...

all four simultaneously is more plausible than a supernatural force as a cause of death.

These critters already know I'm getting them out...

to play with them or kill them.

Why is that?

Let me guess, you wouldn't sleep with a guy on feelings alone.

You haven't been laid in over a year.

It's been exactly eighteen months. Are you satisfied?

Dr. Choi, I'm here because of the autopsy.

Listen, Dr. Choi, I'm not interested in your games.

Two other people died of suspected cardiac arrests on the same day!

Leave the dead in peace and let the case be closed.

Where are you going? That's the door to the mortuary.

Sun-Joo, you're playing a dangerous game.

It's like nothing you've ever seen.

Be careful.

Did we see something maybe we shouldn't have? - Kyung-Ah 10:52 PM

What happened to you, Sang-Mi?

You're sure? Thanks. The guys at the resort won't talk.

It's to respect the privacy of the guests or something.

Let's have a drink in accordance...

Room 105.

Do you want me to come with you?

Hey, Kim! There was a gas explosion!

What? We'll have to go there later.

Alright, go you ahead. Take this.

You'll regret it if you see it! - The 4 men of horrors -

Maybe we shouldn't have watched it.

May I borrow one of these tapes?

Yes, of course.

Do you remember the kids who stayed in room 105 last week?

Sorry, I'm usually just on night duty.

Watch until the end...

or else death will swallow you.

If you play in the water, the spirits will come for you. You will soon bear a child next year.

Listen to your granny.

Whoever watches this...

will die exactly one week from now.

If you want to live...

Mommy, aren't you going to work?

December 1st, Tuesday

Let me see the videotape first.

No, it's too dangerous.

Then why are you here?

Didn't you come for help?

Do you not believe what I'm saying?

Do you want me to shake in my boots?

I'd like to see my own dead face, if I could.

So now I'm involved?

Maybe it's a practical joke. Like one of those chain letters.

Have you ever seen a joke this serious?

Why did those four idiots die?

The video contains the spell to break the curse.

If they knew, why didn't they use it?

They might have seen the tape after the end was recorded over.

Whoever erased that part, you have to find out.

We can't ask the dead now, can we?

Do you know this program?

Find out when that greasy looking dude was on as a guest.

That's the day the ending was erased.

It wasn't recent. The clothes they're wearing are out of fashion.

- Should I find that out, too? - Of course. Did anyone else see the video?

Show it to people and afterwards,

you'll see how quickly they lend you help.

Why aren't you in bed?

Could you make me a copy? I want to review this undisturbed.

Cheers! Pretty exciting, huh?

A game of life and death.

Seven days left.

And you're one day ahead.

December 2nd, Wednesday

It's all right. You don't need to watch it.

But I want you to help me.

The VCR in the room was installed in September. Who left this in room 105?

That would be too much snooping!

Okay, narrow the search to November. It was probably before the quadruple deaths.

If you can find the culprit too, that'd be great.

- Sun-Joo, sit. - I only have six days left.

Hey, come back.

Mr. Kong? I need you to find out something.

The guest that was on the show... yes.

Mysterious Death During Brain Surgery

December 3rd, Thursday

This looks like the tidal wave in the video.

Judging from the height, it's definitely a seismic wave.

From 1951 to 1983, there were only four of these which occurred in the East Sea.

If it was filmed with a video camera, it must be that of 1983.

The television in the video...

is a 1971 model.

The tape was filmed and left in room 105 by someone, but who?

A family stayed in that room three days before the four victims.

Their kid probably left the tape in there after...

he tried to record that show.

Then the four victims stayed there next and watched the videotape on a whim.
