The Favor (2025) Movie Script
My Lord and Savior,
You healed the sick
with just Your word.
As You said, "I have healed you,"
let my ailing body
also be
restored through Your power.
(Obok-ri)
Let the pain in my body leave me,
and fill me with
Your peace and joy.
I earnestly pray this healing
may be fulfilled
within Your will.
Amen.
Here we go.
Alright.

(The Favor)
Thank you, Lord,
for our daily bread.
Above all,
thank you for letting us
finish our move safely.
Everything feels new.
Though our situation has
become uncertain,
we will never abandon love
and respect for You.
We rely on You and plead with You
once more today.
Look upon our weakness
and grant us grace.
Don't let us be blinded
by greed and desire,
but help us always see clearly,
so that we never lose Your
Did you see that basketball
rehab flyer I left on your desk?
Should we check it out?
I'm done with basketball.
Right
I rushed it, sorry.
From now on,
just focus on getting better.
I've got everything ready for you.
There are even success cases
overseas recently and...
Since when do you
even care about me?
I don't need any of that crap,
I'll just go to school
like everyone else, and study.
Like a normal kid.
No, not normal.
I'm just a cripple
pretending to be normal.
What did you say?
Stop acting like you've already
given up on life!
Jong-hoon! Be careful!
Honey, it's too late.
It can be dangerous
when it gets darker.
I'll be right back.
Jong-hoon.
I know this is all painful,
but Dad's trying his best for us.
What's the point?
Do I have to play along
and make him feel better?
Like he said,
focus on rehab,
and get rest here.
Over time, things will...
Will that ever let me walk again?
Who cares if Dad's a doctor,
he still can't fix me!
Seo Jong-hoon!
Don't talk like that!
Even if it's hard,
you have to adjust
step by step, understand?
But you can't do it either.
What changes when you
pretend you're not blind?
Do those glasses make it better?
Since when do you
even care about me?
I don't need any of that crap,
I'll just go to school
like everyone else, and study.
I got into a car accident.
It looks like chest fractures...
Honey?
Honey!
What happened?
I'll explain later.
Hold on a bit...
This is going to hurt.
The chest fractures
don't look too serious.
Your first aid was excellent.
But cancer has spread
throughout his whole body.
At this stage,
no hospital would accept him.
He jumped in front of you
on purpose.
It's an insurance fraud.
When will his ID check
come through?
Well...
His fingerprints are
too worn to read.
Nothing comes up in the system.
We'll find another way,
please wait a little longer.
How long are you
going to follow me?
I said I can go alone!
Come on, sweetie,
I want to see your teacher.
Stop it, you can't even see!
Just go home.
Pass! Pass the ball!
Think about what you'll brag
to Dad about!
He'll need to watch
every second
of the highlight reel.
Honey?
Yeah.
You're late.
Why did he come back?
It'll only be a day or two,
just until the police call.
Jong-hoon...
- Honey!
- Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon, Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
Open this door!
Jong-hoon! Sweetie!
Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
- Jong-hoon! Son!
- Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
Honey, I'll fetch the key.
Son! Sweetie!
It's a miracle.
Everything is perfectly normal.
So, he's really back to normal?
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you!
Thank you so much
for looking after him.
You really think it was
because of that old man?
If not,
how else do you explain it?
You're a doctor, Dad,
you know better.
I was hopeless.
How did you do it?
Did you really make
my son walk again?
Please say something.
How did you get this scar?
Honey!
Does he have any pain?
No, not really.
That's a relief.
I told you to leave it,
I was going to do it.
I'm so sorry, sir.
I'll fix you
a new meal right away.
If there's anything you want,
just say the word.
Think of this as your home.
I'll make whatever you want.
I'll make it again...
Sorry, honey.
Honey, this place
it feels like a hidden gem.
A blessed land
that gave us a miracle.
But that "miracle" makes no sense.
Honey, did our accident
ever make sense?
But I wanted to see you run
wearing both shoes.
No, this pair is so much cooler.
Yeah? You like this one better?
Yeah!
I'm off to school!
Loser takes a hit,
rock, paper, scissors!
- Go easy!
- No, go hard!
Go easy! Please!
It's crazy.
Hey, he's walking.
Your legs! No freaking way!
Never needed wheelchair, right?
Were you faking it?
Are you insane?
Who the hell would fake
something like that?
Teacher! Teacher!
Min-jae is absent again today.
Open your books.
Where did we leave off last class?
Page 76.
Missing Person
We've even checked all database,
(Missing Person)
But no hits yet.
Still no news?
Just how much longer
do I have to wait?
Please hurry, thank you.
Please take a look.
Isn't this down by Mount Obok?
Do you know something about it?
People here have always believed
that Obok-ri was cursed,
nobody would go near the town.
Then they started
calling themselves
the "Village of Miracles."
But people kept dying
left and right there.
(Welcome to Obok-ri)
(The Village of Miracles)
How strange.
That family who just moved in
across the street...
I swear their boy couldn't walk.
But this morning,
I saw him walking!
May I help you?
Hello there!
I heard you recently moved in.
I came by to welcome you,
among other things.
Could you spare a moment?
Who is it?
Hello, ma'am!
I'm here to share
God's word with you!
Oh, please come in!
Peace be with you.
- Hello.
- Good day.
Forgive me, I got too emotional.
It must have been so hard,
your eyes and your son's legs...
Just thinking of it
brings me to tears.
You see, everyone in this town
is desperate for miracles.
Speaking of which,
could I ask you one favor?
A favor?
Would you be willing to share
your story with the others?
This is the first miracle
we've seen in our village
in a decade.
I'm not sure.
I don't think
it's wise to stand up
and call this a miracle.
But the Lord...
He chose your family
for a divine purpose.
Before His teaching,
I was filled with pride.
But I didn't even know
I was prideful.
I took everyday blessings
for granted,
never realizing
they were miracles.
At first, I resented Him.
If He was truly God,
then He was no merciful God,
but a cruel one,
watching
our suffering from above.
So I vowed revenge.
That His own creation
would turn against Him!
I heard my son had woken up.
Yes.
He gives despair,
but also the strength
to endure it.
I chose to live again.
Only after receiving a miracle,
did I realize all our pain
had been under His teaching.
Those who walk the road
don't know where they're going!
But the One who made the road
will never abandon us,
in the end,
we remain in His teaching.
So do not give up!
For suffering means
that you are
the one He has chosen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Didn't I tell you?
I said Obok-ri's miracles
would return!
Heaven has been moved
by our prayers!
- Amen!
- Hallelujah!
Thank you!
No!
Chun-seo, take it easy!
How much longer must I wait?
I can't take it anymore!
What about my child?
Why are you doing this now?
I prayed every day!
I showed my faith!
When my husband died,
I even donated
all the insurance money!
I only ever asked for one thing!
So why not us?
Didn't you hear what Sun-hee said?
The miracle has returned
to our village!
Then what about her?
How much were her prayers worth
to receive that miracle?
Pastor, answer me.
What more do I have to do?
We should go.
Oh, by the way,
Sun-hee's husband is
a doctor from Seoul.
Sir...
This is Chun-seo,
part of our congregation.
Could you maybe
check on her boy?
And what? Am I supposed to
just sit there like a fool?
I'm sure they had their reasons.
What do they know?
They don't know a damn thing!
(Hwang Min-jae)
Let's have a look.
I'll roll up a bit.
Bones don't feel damaged,
does this hurt?
He's always been athletic,
his body's strong, you know?
He never really got sick,
hardly ever had anything serious.
When did this start?
A few days ago.
He spent the whole night
crying out in pain.
I still can't figure out
what's wrong.
Mom, stop it!
Ma'am, let me
talk to Min-jae directly.
Ah, sure.
When did you start
having trouble walking?
Four days ago, early morning.
All of a sudden.
(Heavy Snowfall)
Let me get a better look.
How did you get this scar?
When did you get this scar?
I think it was
around the same time.
I woke up from a nightmare,
and suddenly I couldn't move.
It felt like my whole body
was under anesthesia.
I think that's when I got it...
Doctor, what do I do?
(Missing Person)
You're a doctor, Dad,
you know better.
I was hopeless.
I woke up from a nightmare,
and suddenly I couldn't move.
Why?
When did you get this scar?
What? What is it?
Why on earth Jong-hoon's
and Min-jae's legs...
What the hell did you do
to my son?
Say something!
Why did you do it?
(What is Ringworm?)
(Eerie marks on dead bodies)
(Missing Person)
May I help you?
Oh gosh...
How... have you been?
I'd like to help you, Pastor.
(Obok Church Prayer
Sparks Miracles)
(for a Paralyzed Girl!)
Like I did ten years ago.
(Obok Church Prayer
Sparks Miracles)
(for a Paralyzed Girl!)
(Missing Person)
Hey.
Min-jae, you may go.
Don't.
It seems like you
played quite well, huh?
What?
A little...
More than a little.
How about joining the team
for the upcoming tournament?
What?
In Min-jae's place.
He was a shooting guard,
same as you.
I feel bad for Min-jae,
but you'd complete our lineup.
What do you think?
So do not give up!
For suffering means
that you are
the one He has chosen.
You know what she's going through.
Chun-seo's been struggling
even before this,
and now her son too...
I was hoping you'd meet her.
If she could hear your story,
it might give her hope.
And in the end, His sacred purpose
will surely be rewarded.
I'll go meet her.
(Jong-hoon:
I decided to play again)
(CCTV In Operation)
I don't have much to offer, but...
I made this myself.
Thank you, Chun-seo.
Are you sure I can take this?
Of course!
You brought us so many gifts.
Thank you so much.
Not at all.
It looks good on you.
The truth is
My husband
died suddenly three years ago.
When he was alive,
he made my life hell.
But I endured it all
for my boy's sake.
One night, he got drunk,
slipped and drowned in the creek.
Everyone said I pushed him in.
As if they knew a damn thing.
Still, life goes on. Right?
I held on even tighter,
determined to
raise Min-jae with pride.
But now
they're even gossiping
about what happened to Min-jae.
Like they know anything.
But you came to see me first,
worrying about us...
Can we be like sisters?
Could I
ask one favor?
May I...
May I touch your eyes?
Just once.
What?
Uh, sure.
Chun-seo.
Just hold on a little longer.
Good things will come.
Right? It will, won't it?
Say something!
Why did you do it?
Dad?
Jong-hoon.
Pass, pass!
Block him! Block him!
Block him!
Nice!
(Home security alarm
has been triggered)
Nice!
Do you know how long
I've been looking for you?
Who are you?
Who are you to take him?
Seriously?
You think the miracle
belongs to you?
After everything I did, why you...
If others find out everything
traces back to him,
do you really think you can
protect your miracle then?
Don't fool yourself into
thinking you were chosen.
The miracle was mine
from the start.
Get up.
Get up!
We received a report,
where exactly
did you run into him?
I encountered him
right over there.
Do you happen to remember
any distinctive features?
I'm sorry, I was so shaken up
I can barely remember.
I see.
(Murder and Arson)
The caller insists it was him,
are you sure it wasn't this man?
No, it wasn't him.
Very well.
What about the old man?
He's alright, isn't he?
Yeah, he's fine, don't worry.
Nothing was stolen either.
How can I not worry?
What if he came here to hurt him?
You saw him yourself,
there must be something
you noticed!
No, forget it.
Let's just call the police
and the security company back...
Sun-hee, it's fine,
he's probably tired too.
But maybe we should keep it quiet
about him staying with us.
You're
hiding something.
Dad's right.
If people start talking,
making things up,
it'll just make things
harder for him.
And what if
the cursed ones find out instead?
He was a shooting guard,
same as you.
In Min-jae's place.
This isn't because of me!
It's not!
Chun-seo.
Good things will come.
Right? It will, won't it?
(Obok-ri Fire: Suspect claims
villagers stole his miracle...)
You see, everyone in this town...
(Paralyzed Girl Receives Miracle!)
Is desperate for a miracle.
(Obok Church members
call it a miracle...)
(A miracle science
can't explain...)
Don't fool yourself into
thinking you were chosen.
(Church on fire,
was it truly an accident?)
Why did you appear before me?
The miracle...
Don't you want to protect it?
What's wrong?
Let's
just go back to Seoul.
No, why should we?
Jong-hoon!
I'm only saying this
because I'm worried about you.
I can walk now!
I'll take care of it myself,
alright?
Is this about yesterday?
We don't know anyone here...
I don't know
what it is you're hiding,
but I'm staying.
- I'll stay and...
- Because of the miracle?
Do you want a miracle,
like Jong-hoon?
So what?
Am I not allowed?
Chun-seo's son
lost his legs the day
Jong-hoon walked again.
Jong-hoon
stole Min-jae's legs!
How can a father
say something like that?
That's a stretch,
even for a coincidence!
Sir...
Thank you for giving
my family a miracle.
But I
want a miracle too...
My eyes...
I want to see again...
Is Sun-hee home?
Some of my congregation
begged me,
they just wanted to meet her,
and feel a touch of the miracle.
What are you doing,
barging in like this?
Please leave.
We only need to see her!
She's the one who knows
the miracle best!
I just need
a word with her, directly!
I said get out!
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Let's go to the church.
Sun-hee...
After so much suffering,
my family was blessed
with a miracle!
But everyone!
Look at me!
I'm as small and frail as you,
struggling in hardship.
So don't give up.
I will endure
this final trial with you,
until the very end!
Amen!
I will pray, harder,
until the very last moment,
until I stand beside Him...
Sun-hee!
Everyone!
Pray with me!
With all your heart!
If you want it enough,
if you truly yearn...
If you want it...
My eyes...
I can see...
I can see!
It's a miracle! A miracle!
It's a miracle!
Behold! She has brought
the miracle to our church!
- Amen!
- Amen!
God Himself has shown His power!
We are saved once more!
Your eyesight is
perfectly normal now.
Thank you...
Honey!
The Lord showed me
the miracle with my own eyes.
Ma'am, please follow me.
Oh God, please! Let me go!
My boy!
Oh God, Min-jae! My boy!
Min-jae! What's happening?
Baby, open your eyes,
what's wrong?!
Please!
No!
Jong-hoon, listen to me carefully.
You have a classmate
named Min-jae, right?
Dad, it can't be...
Mom's eyes...
I'll explain everything later.
When class ends,
no, go home right now.
Right this second!
Oh God... my baby...
Sweetheart...
What on earth?
On a blessed day like today...
What do you mean?
You didn't hear?
A miracle came down
upon our church today.
What?
A miracle?
Well, Sun-hee's eyes...
Honey, I need to
stop by somewhere.
Head home first.
Okay.
(Chun-seo)
Sun-hee...
Where are you?
Answer!
Dammit! Answer me!
What did my boy ever do wrong?
Come here.
Come here!
Come here!
I made a promise with him.
Untie me, right now!
You all already had your share.
Now it's my turn.
- Wait! Wait!
- He's mine!
It was supposed to be my turn.
(Chun-seo)
No.
Wake up.
You can't die yet!
I've waited my whole life
for this moment!
No!
No!
Please!
No... Please...
It's so close...
No, no...
(Seven-year-old who
had been fully paralyzed...)
Su-young!
Su-young!
In the end
you'll all die...

She Hears Again)
(A Nine-Year-Old Girl Murdered;

Did you think we were
the only ones chosen?
(Paralyzed Man Walks again)
All of this
is the old man's doing?
Doesn't matter
as long as the curse
doesn't fall on me.
There has to be a way to stop it.
A way to stop that old man!
Who could ever give up a miracle?
Who?
(O flower of miracles,
blooming from cursed soil, )
(may you never fade
from this world)
Honey!
Jong-hoon...
Honey!
Wait!
Let's just go,
I'll explain on the way!
If we just leave,
what'll happen to him?
Sun-hee,
let's just go, do me this favor.
Let's go!
We mustn't dwell on this.
Remember what I said?
If it ever got too much,
we'd return.
That's all this is.
There's nothing to worry about.
We're just going back
to how things were.
Back to the way
everything used to be.
(Obok-ri)
Jong-hoon?
Jong-hoon, what's wrong?
Jong-hoon?
My legs hurt...
Your legs hurt? Jong-hoon?
Breathe, son! Breathe!
Jong-hoon!
Honey! What's the matter?
Dad! Take us back!
I'm here, sweetheart!
Take us back!
It's okay, Jong-hoon.
Sweetie!
It's okay, baby.
Honey!
Turn the car around!
(Welcome to Obok-ri)
I didn't know we weren't
supposed to leave the village.
Had I known,
I never would've left.
So please, heal Sun-hee
and Jong-hoon again.
We came straight back,
we barely even left!
Hardly any distance at all,
I swear!
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
It's all my fault,
everything's my fault.
Please help Sun-hee
and Jong-hoon.
I'm begging you.
What do you want from me?
I'm here, Jong-hoon!
Just hold on, baby!
Stay strong, just a little longer,
even if it hurts...
What the...
Who's there?
Do you know how much
I trusted you?
Chun-seo, how did you
even get here?
Where are Min-jae's legs
and eyes?
Why are you looking for
those here?
Why'd you come here for that?
Get out, get out right now!
Then
that old man must know.
Who told you that? Who?
Chun-seo! No!
The one who gives miracles
was you.
Then what about my son?
What did he ever do wrong?
Stay out of this,
unless you want to die.
Chun-seo, please calm down
and put that down.
This isn't the way.
Not the way?
What isn't the way?
You took everything from us,
and now you want to lecture me?
Please, calm down.
Give it back!
Give it all back!
Starting with that old man!
There's nothing here
that belongs to your son!
So get the hell out!
Sun-hee, it's dangerous here!
You people
this is your punishment.
Sir, what about my Min-jae?
Where are his legs and eyes
they stole from him?
If you... want it
take it...
Take it...?
If I want it
take it?
Give it back!
Die! Die!
Die!
I told you, nothing here
belongs to you.
The old man, the miracle,
it's all ours.
It's right here...
Sir, eyes and legs
are all here.
So...
So, turn us back...
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Honey!
Sun-hee...
I...
pretended not to know...
Because I wanted it so badly...
I'm sorry...
Sorry...
Sun-hee!
Sir!
Sir!
What do I have to do now?
Sir! Look what happened to them!
Please, save my Min-jae.
My poor boy!
Please, help Min-jae!
I'm begging you!
What do I have to do?
What more do I have to do?
Sir! Please, what do I do...
My poor boy!
Min-jae!
Is this what you wanted?
You should
go to Min-jae...
Mom...
Mom!
Mom, open your eyes...
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
I won't take it from anyone.
Sun-hee...
Bring her back...
Instead...
Jong-hoon!
It's a miracle.
- Son!
- Everything is perfectly normal.
I can see...
I can see...
Why?
Why did you do it?
Only the one who gives oneself
can perform a miracle.
The one who will bear my curse
My savior
Dad?
You healed the sick
with just Your word.
As You said, "I have healed you,"
let my ailing body
also be
restored through Your power.
(Obok-ri)
Let the pain in my body leave me,
and fill me with
Your peace and joy.
I earnestly pray this healing
may be fulfilled
within Your will.
Amen.
Here we go.
Alright.

Thank you, Lord,
for our daily bread.
Above all,
thank you for letting us
finish our move safely.
Everything feels new.
Though our situation has
become uncertain,
we will never abandon love
and respect for You.
We rely on You and plead with You
once more today.

Don't let us be blinded

Did you see that basketball
rehab flyer I left on your desk?
Should we check it out?
I'm done with basketball.
Right
I rushed it, sorry.
From now on,
just focus on getting better.
I've got everything ready for you.
There are even success cases
overseas recently and...
Since when do you
even care about me?
I don't need any of that crap,
I'll just go to school
like everyone else, and study.
Like a normal kid.
No, not normal.
I'm just a cripple
pretending to be normal.
What did you say?
Stop acting like you've already
given up on life!
Jong-hoon! Be careful!
Honey, it's too late.
It can be dangerous
when it gets darker.
I'll be right back.
Jong-hoon.
I know this is all painful,
but Dad's trying his best for us.
What's the point?
Do I have to play along
and make him feel better?
Like he said,
focus on rehab,
and get rest here.
Over time, things will...
Will that ever let me walk again?
Who cares if Dad's a doctor,
he still can't fix me!
Seo Jong-hoon!
Don't talk like that!
Even if it's hard,
you have to adjust
step by step, understand?
But you can't do it either.
What changes when you
pretend you're not blind?
Do those glasses make it better?
Since when do you
even care about me?
I don't need any of that crap,
I'll just go to school

I got into a car accident.
It looks like chest fractures...
Honey?
Honey!
What happened?
I'll explain later.
Hold on a bit...
This is going to hurt.
The chest fractures
don't look too serious.
Your first aid was excellent.
But cancer has spread
throughout his whole body.
At this stage,
no hospital would accept him.
He jumped in front of you
on purpose.
It's an insurance fraud.
When will his ID check
come through?
Well...
His fingerprints are
too worn to read.
Nothing comes up in the system.
We'll find another way,
please wait a little longer.
How long are you
going to follow me?
I said I can go alone!
Come on, sweetie,
I want to see your teacher.
Stop it, you can't even see!
Just go home.
Pass! Pass the ball!
Think about what you'll brag
to Dad about!
He'll need to watch
every second
of the highlight reel.
Honey?
Yeah.
You're late.
Why did he come back?
It'll only be a day or two,
just until the police call.
Jong-hoon...
- Honey!
- Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon, Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
Open this door!
Jong-hoon! Sweetie!
Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
- Jong-hoon! Son!
- Jong-hoon!
Jong-hoon!
Honey, I'll fetch the key.
Son! Sweetie!
It's a miracle.
Everything is perfectly normal.
So, he's really back to normal?
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you!
Thank you so much
for looking after him.
You really think it was
because of that old man?
If not,
how else do you explain it?
You're a doctor, Dad,
you know better.
I was hopeless.
How did you do it?
Did you really make
my son walk again?
Please say something.
How did you get this scar?
Honey!
Does he have any pain?
No, not really.
That's a relief.
I told you to leave it,
I was going to do it.
I'm so sorry, sir.
I'll fix you
a new meal right away.
If there's anything you want,
just say the word.
Think of this as your home.
I'll make whatever you want.
I'll make it again...
Sorry, honey.
Honey, this place
it feels like a hidden gem.
A blessed land
that gave us a miracle.
But that "miracle" makes no sense.
Honey, did our accident
ever make sense?
But I wanted to see you run
wearing both shoes.
No, this pair is so much cooler.
Yeah? You like this one better?
Yeah!
I'm off to school!
Loser takes a hit,
rock, paper, scissors!
- Go easy!
- No, go hard!
Go easy! Please!
It's crazy.
Hey, he's walking.
Your legs! No freaking way!
Never needed wheelchair, right?
Were you faking it?
Are you insane?
Who the hell would fake
something like that?
Teacher! Teacher!
Min-jae is absent again today.
Open your books.
Where did we leave off last class?
Page 76.
Missing Person
We've even checked all database,
(Missing Person)
But no hits yet.
Still no news?
Just how much longer
do I have to wait?
Please hurry, thank you.
Please take a look.
Isn't this down by Mount Obok?
Do you know something about it?
People here have always believed
that Obok-ri was cursed,
nobody would go near the town.
Then they started
calling themselves
the "Village of Miracles."
But people kept dying
left and right there.
(Welcome to Obok-ri)
(The Village of Miracles)
How strange.
That family who just moved in
across the street...
I swear their boy couldn't walk.
But this morning,
I saw him walking!
May I help you?
Hello there!
I heard you recently moved in.
I came by to welcome you,
among other things.
Could you spare a moment?
Who is it?
Hello, ma'am!
I'm here to share
God's word with you!
Oh, please come in!
Peace be with you.
- Hello.
- Good day.
Forgive me, I got too emotional.
It must have been so hard,
your eyes and your son's legs...
Just thinking of it
brings me to tears.
You see, everyone in this town
is desperate for miracles.
Speaking of which,
could I ask you one favor?
A favor?
Would you be willing to share
your story with the others?
This is the first miracle
we've seen in our village
in a decade.
I'm not sure.
I don't think
it's wise to stand up
and call this a miracle.
But the Lord...
He chose your family
for a divine purpose.
Before His teaching,
I was filled with pride.
But I didn't even know
I was prideful.
I took everyday blessings
for granted,
never realizing
they were miracles.
At first, I resented Him.
If He was truly God,
then He was no merciful God,
but a cruel one,
watching
our suffering from above.
So I vowed revenge.
That His own creation
would turn against Him!
I heard my son had woken up.
Yes.
He gives despair,
but also the strength
to endure it.
I chose to live again.
Only after receiving a miracle,
did I realize all our pain
had been under His teaching.
Those who walk the road
don't know where they're going!
But the One who made the road
will never abandon us,
in the end,
we remain in His teaching.
So do not give up!
For suffering means
that you are
the one He has chosen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Didn't I tell you?
I said Obok-ri's miracles
would return!
Heaven has been moved
by our prayers!
- Amen!
- Hallelujah!
Thank you!
No!
Chun-seo, take it easy!
How much longer must I wait?
I can't take it anymore!
What about my child?
Why are you doing this now?
I prayed every day!
I showed my faith!
When my husband died,
I even donated
all the insurance money!
I only ever asked for one thing!
So why not us?
Didn't you hear what Sun-hee said?
The miracle has returned
to our village!
Then what about her?
How much were her prayers worth
to receive that miracle?
Pastor, answer me.
What more do I have to do?
We should go.
Oh, by the way,
Sun-hee's husband is
a doctor from Seoul.
Sir...
This is Chun-seo,
part of our congregation.
Could you maybe
check on her boy?
And what? Am I supposed to
just sit there like a fool?
I'm sure they had their reasons.
What do they know?
They don't know a damn thing!
(Hwang Min-jae)
Let's have a look.
I'll roll up a bit.
Bones don't feel damaged,
does this hurt?
He's always been athletic,
his body's strong, you know?
He never really got sick,
hardly ever had anything serious.
When did this start?
A few days ago.
He spent the whole night
crying out in pain.
I still can't figure out
what's wrong.
Mom, stop it!
Ma'am, let me
talk to Min-jae directly.
Ah, sure.
When did you start
having trouble walking?
Four days ago, early morning.
All of a sudden.
(Heavy Snowfall)
Let me get a better look.
How did you get this scar?
When did you get this scar?
I think it was
around the same time.
I woke up from a nightmare,
and suddenly I couldn't move.
It felt like my whole body
was under anesthesia.
I think that's when I got it...
Doctor, what do I do?
(Missing Person)
You're a doctor, Dad,
you know better.
I was hopeless.
I woke up from a nightmare,
and suddenly I couldn't move.
Why?
When did you get this scar?
What? What is it?
Why on earth Jong-hoon's
and Min-jae's legs...
What the hell did you do
to my son?
Say something!
Why did you do it?
(What is Ringworm?)
(Eerie marks on dead bodies)
(Missing Person)
May I help you?
Oh gosh...
How... have you been?
I'd like to help you, Pastor.
(Obok Church Prayer
Sparks Miracles)
(for a Paralyzed Girl!)
Like I did ten years ago.
(Obok Church Prayer
Sparks Miracles)
(for a Paralyzed Girl!)
(Missing Person)
Hey.
Min-jae, you may go.
Don't.
It seems like you
played quite well, huh?
What?
A little...
More than a little.
How about joining the team
for the upcoming tournament?
What?
In Min-jae's place.
He was a shooting guard,
same as you.
I feel bad for Min-jae,
but you'd complete our lineup.
What do you think?
So do not give up!
For suffering means
that you are
the one He has chosen.
You know what she's going through.
Chun-seo's been struggling
even before this,
and now her son too...
I was hoping you'd meet her.
If she could hear your story,
it might give her hope.
And in the end, His sacred purpose
will surely be rewarded.
I'll go meet her.
(Jong-hoon:
I decided to play again)
(CCTV In Operation)
I don't have much to offer, but...
I made this myself.
Thank you, Chun-seo.
Are you sure I can take this?
Of course!
You brought us so many gifts.
Thank you so much.
Not at all.
It looks good on you.
The truth is
My husband
died suddenly three years ago.
When he was alive,
he made my life hell.
But I endured it all
for my boy's sake.
One night, he got drunk,
slipped and drowned in the creek.
Everyone said I pushed him in.
As if they knew a damn thing.
Still, life goes on. Right?
I held on even tighter,
determined to
raise Min-jae with pride.
But now
they're even gossiping
about what happened to Min-jae.
Like they know anything.
But you came to see me first,
worrying about us...
Can we be like sisters?
Could I
ask one favor?
May I...
May I touch your eyes?
Just once.
What?
Uh, sure.
Chun-seo.
Just hold on a little longer.
Good things will come.
Right? It will, won't it?
Say something!
Why did you do it?
Dad?
Jong-hoon.
Pass, pass!
Block him! Block him!
Block him!
Nice!
(Home security alarm
has been triggered)
Nice!
Do you know how long
I've been looking for you?
Who are you?
Who are you to take him?
Seriously?
You think the miracle
belongs to you?
After everything I did, why you...
If others find out everything
traces back to him,
do you really think you can
protect your miracle then?
Don't fool yourself into
thinking you were chosen.
The miracle was mine
from the start.
Get up.
Get up!
We received a report,
where exactly
did you run into him?
I encountered him
right over there.
Do you happen to remember
any distinctive features?
I'm sorry, I was so shaken up
I can barely remember.
I see.
(Murder and Arson)
The caller insists it was him,
are you sure it wasn't this man?
No, it wasn't him.
Very well.
What about the old man?
He's alright, isn't he?
Yeah, he's fine, don't worry.
Nothing was stolen either.
How can I not worry?
What if he came here to hurt him?
You saw him yourself,
there must be something
you noticed!
No, forget it.
Let's just call the police
and the security company back...
Sun-hee, it's fine,
he's probably tired too.
But maybe we should keep it quiet
about him staying with us.
You're
hiding something.
Dad's right.
If people start talking,
making things up,
it'll just make things
harder for him.
And what if
the cursed ones find out instead?
He was a shooting guard,
same as you.
In Min-jae's place.
This isn't because of me!
It's not!
Chun-seo.
Good things will come.
Right? It will, won't it?
(Obok-ri Fire: Suspect claims
villagers stole his miracle...)
You see, everyone in this town...
(Paralyzed Girl Receives Miracle!)
Is desperate for a miracle.
(Obok Church members
call it a miracle...)
(A miracle science
can't explain...)
Don't fool yourself into
thinking you were chosen.
(Church on fire,
was it truly an accident?)
Why did you appear before me?
The miracle...
Don't you want to protect it?
What's wrong?
Let's
just go back to Seoul.
No, why should we?
Jong-hoon!
I'm only saying this
because I'm worried about you.
I can walk now!
I'll take care of it myself,
alright?
Is this about yesterday?
We don't know anyone here...
I don't know
what it is you're hiding,
but I'm staying.
- I'll stay and...
- Because of the miracle?
Do you want a miracle,
like Jong-hoon?
So what?
Am I not allowed?
Chun-seo's son
lost his legs the day
Jong-hoon walked again.
Jong-hoon
stole Min-jae's legs!
How can a father
say something like that?
That's a stretch,
even for a coincidence!
Sir...
Thank you for giving
my family a miracle.
But I
want a miracle too...
My eyes...
I want to see again...
Is Sun-hee home?
Some of my congregation
begged me,
they just wanted to meet her,
and feel a touch of the miracle.
What are you doing,
barging in like this?
Please leave.
We only need to see her!
She's the one who knows
the miracle best!
I just need
a word with her, directly!
I said get out!
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Let's go to the church.
Sun-hee...
After so much suffering,
my family was blessed
with a miracle!
But everyone!
Look at me!
I'm as small and frail as you,
struggling in hardship.
So don't give up.
I will endure
this final trial with you,
until the very end!
Amen!
I will pray, harder,
until the very last moment,
until I stand beside Him...
Sun-hee!
Everyone!
Pray with me!
With all your heart!
If you want it enough,
if you truly yearn...
If you want it...
My eyes...
I can see...
I can see!
It's a miracle! A miracle!
It's a miracle!
Behold! She has brought
the miracle to our church!
- Amen!
- Amen!
God Himself has shown His power!
We are saved once more!
Your eyesight is
perfectly normal now.
Thank you...
Honey!
The Lord showed me
the miracle with my own eyes.
Ma'am, please follow me.
Oh God, please! Let me go!
My boy!
Oh God, Min-jae! My boy!
Min-jae! What's happening?
Baby, open your eyes,
what's wrong?!
Please!
No!
Jong-hoon, listen to me carefully.
You have a classmate
named Min-jae, right?
Dad, it can't be...
Mom's eyes...
I'll explain everything later.
When class ends,
no, go home right now.
Right this second!
Oh God... my baby...
Sweetheart...
What on earth?
On a blessed day like today...
What do you mean?
You didn't hear?
A miracle came down
upon our church today.
What?
A miracle?
Well, Sun-hee's eyes...
Honey, I need to
stop by somewhere.
Head home first.
Okay.
(Chun-seo)
Sun-hee...
Where are you?
Answer!
Dammit! Answer me!
What did my boy ever do wrong?
Come here.
Come here!
Come here!
I made a promise with him.
Untie me, right now!
You all already had your share.
Now it's my turn.
- Wait! Wait!
- He's mine!
It was supposed to be my turn.
(Chun-seo)
No.
Wake up.
You can't die yet!
I've waited my whole life
for this moment!
No!
No!
Please!
No... Please...
It's so close...
No, no...
(Seven-year-old who
had been fully paralyzed...)
Su-young!
Su-young!
In the end
you'll all die...
(Ears Wide Open!

Did you think we were
the only ones chosen?
(Paralyzed Man Walks again)
All of this
is the old man's doing?
Doesn't matter
as long as the curse
doesn't fall on me.
There has to be a way to stop it.
A way to stop that old man!
Who could ever give up a miracle?
Who?
(O flower of miracles,
blooming from cursed soil, )
(may you never fade
from this world)
Honey!
Jong-hoon...
Honey!
Wait!
Let's just go,
I'll explain on the way!
If we just leave,
what'll happen to him?
Sun-hee,
let's just go, do me this favor.
Let's go!
We mustn't dwell on this.
Remember what I said?
If it ever got too much,
we'd return.
That's all this is.
There's nothing to worry about.
We're just going back
to how things were.
Back to the way
everything used to be.
(Obok-ri)
Jong-hoon?
Jong-hoon, what's wrong?
Jong-hoon?
My legs hurt...
Your legs hurt? Jong-hoon?
Breathe, son! Breathe!
Jong-hoon!
Honey! What's the matter?
Dad! Take us back!
I'm here, sweetheart!
Take us back!
It's okay, Jong-hoon.
Sweetie!
It's okay, baby.
Honey!
Turn the car around!
(Welcome to Obok-ri)
I didn't know we weren't
supposed to leave the village.
Had I known,
I never would've left.
So please, heal Sun-hee
and Jong-hoon again.
We came straight back,
we barely even left!
Hardly any distance at all,
I swear!
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
It's all my fault,
everything's my fault.
Please help Sun-hee
and Jong-hoon.
I'm begging you.
What do you want from me?
I'm here, Jong-hoon!
Just hold on, baby!
Stay strong, just a little longer,
even if it hurts...
What the...
Who's there?
Do you know how much
I trusted you?
Chun-seo, how did you
even get here?
Where are Min-jae's legs
and eyes?
Why are you looking for
those here?
Why'd you come here for that?
Get out, get out right now!
Then
that old man must know.
Who told you that? Who?
Chun-seo! No!
The one who gives miracles
was you.
Then what about my son?
What did he ever do wrong?
Stay out of this,
unless you want to die.
Chun-seo, please calm down
and put that down.
This isn't the way.
Not the way?
What isn't the way?
You took everything from us,
and now you want to lecture me?
Please, calm down.
Give it back!
Give it all back!
Starting with that old man!
There's nothing here
that belongs to your son!
So get the hell out!
Sun-hee, it's dangerous here!
You people
this is your punishment.
Sir, what about my Min-jae?
Where are his legs and eyes
they stole from him?
If you... want it
take it...
Take it...?
If I want it
take it?
Give it back!
Die! Die!
Die!
I told you, nothing here
belongs to you.
The old man, the miracle,
it's all ours.
It's right here...
Sir, eyes and legs
are all here.
So...
So, turn us back...
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Sun-hee!
Honey!
Sun-hee...
I...
pretended not to know...
Because I wanted it so badly...
I'm sorry...
Sorry...
Sun-hee!
Sir!
Sir!
What do I have to do now?
Sir! Look what happened to them!
Please, save my Min-jae.
My poor boy!
Please, help Min-jae!
I'm begging you!
What do I have to do?
What more do I have to do?
Sir! Please, what do I do...
My poor boy!
Min-jae!
Is this what you wanted?
You should
go to Min-jae...
Mom...
Mom!
Mom, open your eyes...
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
I won't take it from anyone.
Sun-hee...
Bring her back...
Instead...
Jong-hoon!
It's a miracle.
- Son!
- Everything is perfectly normal.
I can see...
I can see...
Why?
Why did you do it?
Only the one who gives oneself
can perform a miracle.
The one who will bear my curse
