You Will Die in 6 Hours (2024) Movie Script

(ORIGINAL STORY BY KAZUAKI TAKANO)
Life goes on to wherever.
The green light is on.
Please cross the street.
You will die in 6 hours.
(YOU WILL DIE IN 6 HOURS)
The train bound for Suseo
is now approaching.
All passengers,
please take a step back.
Please watch your step
as you get on and off the train.
Attention, please.
This train is...
Every day, I send
reminder texts to myself.
Don't die. Grin and bear it,
Lee Jung-yoon.
One Heets Blue.
Is this a meal?
I saw you eat it
and wanted it too, kid.
If you work that hard,
do they pay you more?
Even if they do, it's not much.
Still, you work
for the government.
Everyone is dying to become one.
A civil servant.
Then why don't you try
like everyone else?
Please.
I'm struggling to make ends meet.
What civil servant exam?
I don't want to
sound like an old-timer,
so I'll go.
Wait, Mister.
What?
It's my birthday today.
So?
Just saying.
Why? Do you need something?
If I do, will you buy it for me?
Well...
Let's grab some good food
later on tonight.
What good food?
I'll think about it.
See ya.
(HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. LEE!)
(LOAN AVAILABLE IN 24 HOURS)
(I'll SEE YOU AT 6 PM THAT DAY)
Jeez...
(YOU DIDN'T FORGET, DID YOU?)
(CASH PRICE! BLOWOUT SALE!)
After today,
my 20s will be over.
I thought I'd be
living well in my 30s.
I wake up to the mold
on the ceiling
of my semi-basement unit.
It's looking more like the mold
on the ceiling of my mom's house.
I thought if I ran away
from her hellish home,
everything would be fine.
But I was wrong.
I see other people
and dream of living like them.
Life goes on to wherever.
The green light is on.
Please cross the street.
You will die in 6 hours.
What did you say back then?
I said, you will die tonight.
What is this the latest scam?
That's new.
I have to tell you something.
It's important.
What are you doing?
Give me 5 minutes.
Excuse me?
What's wrong with you?
I'm late for a meeting.
Forget it. The meeting is off.
Mi-jung!
- What?
- Did you wait long?
I met a weird guy on the way...
Jung-yoon? Why are you here?
Didn't you get my text?
What text?
Honey!
Oh, you're back early.
- Who's this?
- Meet my friend Jung-yoon.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'd better go.
The movie is starting soon.
I'll call you later.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Have fun!
Why did you save me?
You said, I'm dying tonight.
If you died back there,
I would've felt somewhat relieved.
Because that means I am wrong.
Are you a psychic or something?
My visions have never been wrong.
You saw earlier.
Do you need money or something?
Wanna get paid for saving my life?
Just cut the crap, will you?
I don't have money
for a jerk like you.
I saw it.
How you die.
I saw your fate.
What?
Fate?
I said you won't meet
with your friend, didn't I?
It's just
that my friend forgot
we were meeting too.
Still, I was right.
That doesn't prove your nonsense.
Don't get in my face again.
If you do, I'll call the cops.
I can see someone's future.
In exactly 5 hours and 49 minutes,
you will die.
Why?
Why do I have to die?
Name, Kim Hae-ji. Age 23.
Estimated time of death
between 23:00 on July 11th
and 02:00 on the 12th.
Cause of death was
a stab to the chest
and neck by a sharp weapon.
She died from excessive bleeding.
The weapon was
not found at the scene.
It appears she was killed
somewhere else
and her body was
transported to the scene.
Have you found any useful leads?
We went through
Kim Hae-ji's phone.
You will die tonight.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm telling you your fate.
This was recorded
on the day of the murder.
Did Kim Hae-ji have
a history of being stalked?
She called in about it,
a month before she was killed.
Here's the abandoned
factory murder case.
On the day Ji Seo-yeon died,
an unidentified man
predicted that she'd be killed.
Her sister later testified.
- Predicted her murder?
- Yes.
You will
die in 8 hours.
Are you filming a movie?
Or a drama series?
I don't know why, either.
I just get visions of
someone's future.
How they die?
It's not always that.
I just see unusual things.
Like what?
Unconsciously,
people live by separating what can
and cannot happen to them.
But what I see are things
that people don't think
will happen.
So, you mean,
you can see whatever
you want in the future?
Like all the futures
of everyone here?
I don't see them by choice.
When I see someone,
the scenes just flash past.
So you happened to bump into me
and had a vision of me dying?
Yeah, right.
Fine.
So, how do I die?
In a car accident?
A heart attack?
Or do I get bitten by a zombie?
You get murdered.
I get murdered?
How do I get killed?
Stabbed by a knife.
Where do I get stabbed?
Your chest.
Who stabs me?
I only saw
you getting stabbed
and falling down.
It is like a drama series.
It ends right at
an important spot.
To be continued next time?
See you.
By the way,
how do you know
I'll die 6 hours later?
Your watch showed 12 o'clock.
How do you know it's today?
It could be tomorrow.
You were wearing that.
Really?
Then if I change,
I won't die, right?
What a laugh.
Then I'll go and change.
Until now, all the visions...
They came true in real life.
Can you prove it?
Come here.
That's everything.
Listen.
We must identify a suspect
before it turns into
a serial case.
How about focusing on the man
who claimed to predict?
Both victims have
being stalked in common.
Could the predictor and stalker
be the same man?
After putting pressure
on the victims to keep them,
he most likely killed them
like in a hunt.
Are there any leads on the suspect
other than the audio file?
There are, sir.
Tip line calls were reported
right after both incidents.
Tip line calls? From where?
Both calls were
made from pay phones.
Located any CCTV footages?
There were no CCTVs
around the pay phones.
Chief, it looks like
it was all planned.
It's a typical criminal pattern
of showing off.
In Kim Hae-ji's case,
I obtained dashcam footages
from a car by the pay phone,
and requested
video analysis on them.
Wow! Yoo Min-kyung! You did good!
You've come a long way!
You're amazing.
Listen up.
Nothing's definitive yet,
so don't get too excited.
Detective Park.
Identify the caller
as soon as the analysis is done.
Detective Yoo,
review the forensics
on the victims' PCs
and cellphones.
Yes, sir.
Find everything
that can turn to leads, okay?
And you two,
investigate around the junkyard.
Yes, sir.
Get moving.
- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.
- Good work.
- Thank you.
I'll share the dashcam results
when they're ready.
Thank you.
Sir?
What?
Can we catch him?
Of course.
That's our job.
Last month, on July 11th,
I saw a woman
stuck inside a car trunk.
Did you tell her
that she'd die too?
Yes.
But she didn't believe me.
I stopped at that
because I didn't want to
believe it either.
Last year, in August,
I had a vision of a woman's murder
at an abandoned factory.
I had no way of knowing
where and when exactly.
They both died
exactly the way I had visioned.
That means,
I have to die too?
For your prophecy
to be proven true.
- Hi, Yoon-jung.
- Hi.
You said, you went to
that guy's house, right?
Who? Your stalker?
Yeah, but I got scared
and ran away at the door.
It still gives me chills.
Why do you ask?
Can you send me his address?
Why?
Are you going to
go to that stalker?
He stopped calling you, didn't he?
I just need to check something.
Check what?
What's wrong?
I'll tell you later.
Okay, fine.
But don't go alone, okay?
Okay.
I'll send the address.
Did you call?
I called to ask something,
but it got resolved.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Okay, then.
Where should we meet later?
Something came up.
- Really?
- I'll call you later.
Call me when you're free.
Bye.
(DETECTIVE PARK:)
(CALL ME IF YOU NEED HELP)
Why are you telling me this?
What am I supposed to do?
Can I change my future?
Probably not.
But if I were you,
I'd try to find your killer first.
With 5 hours left till I die,
I set out to find my killer.
When we meet,
I'll kill you, my fated killer.
Aren't you asking
where we're going?
Where to?
There's a guy
who chased me around.
I'm going to him.
If someone will kill me tonight,
like you say,
it's got to be him.
How do you know him?
After going on a date for 3 hours,
I get paid.
It's not much different
from a normal date.
We go on walks.
We eat out.
Usually, the man
decides what to do.
Sometimes, I eat
what I don't like.
Sometimes we watch plays.
After 3 hours, it's over.
Sometimes they buy me
clothes or shoes.
Then I just take them.
Well, then...
I got $400 for the 3 hours.
Some girls went to
the men's homes.
Then they got paid more.
What about you?
I just went on dates.
He never said much on our dates
or asked me to do something.
It was weird,
but he only asked for me
when he didn't seem to
have fun on our dates.
Sir!
Hi.
Remember the Maze Club case
with sex trafficking of minors?
The case closed
with Choi Young-do,
the owner's arrest.
Still, he only got
3 years of probation.
You headed the case
with Detective Nam, right?
Yes.
But what does that
have to do with this case?
I found out
while checking their phones
that both victims worked
as Maze Club members.
Are you sure?
Yes, sir.
Also, the Sangdo-dong suicide case
may be connected too.
She was also a Maze Club member
and had a history
of being stalked.
Detective Park can head this.
Sir?
Hand it over to him.
Chief.
I can do this.
I'm not saying that you can't.
It was his case
before you were assigned here.
So he should take the case.
But he can transfer it to me,
and I can do it.
No buts about it.
Go and work.
Sir...
Ki-hoon.
Things are getting out of control.
Bro.
I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
(MAZE CLUB)
The stalking started from a month
after the club closed down.
My mail and parcels disappeared
and I got prank calls every night.
Did you report it?
Of course. I said it was that guy
I met through the club.
And?
They said there's no evidence
he's the culprit.
It may not be him.
It could be
another customer you met.
The club didn't give out
our personal information.
They were very strict about that.
We couldn't meet personally.
Then they'll lose money.
But he met me several times,
so he must've tailed me.
After our dates,
he must've followed me home.
I think the chief is
deliberately excluding me
from this case.
If it's a serial case,
it gets complicated.
He's just being cautious.
I know,
but I had to transfer
all my leads to you.
Is it...
Is it because I'm a woman?
Well...
Maybe.
What?
Listen to me.
You're getting
too emotionally invested
in this case.
Seeing the victims,
it's natural to feel anger
as a woman too.
But that's...
Look.
Empathizing with the victims
never helps
with rational judgment.
Sometimes,
emotions can distort the truth.
Damn.
Did I sound too preachy?
No, sir.
I'll cool my head,
then go back in.
Sure.
Don't smoke too much.
A year ago,
the club got caught
for hiring minors
and was shut down.
I was questioned
and investigated too.
Be honest.
You knew they were minors, right?
No.
I just got the locations
to work through the app.
I don't know
who else is in the club.
They all use fake names
in their own battles.
How would I know?
What is this card?
When customers log in
with the QR codes on the back,
we get matched up.
When did you start this?
I'm not a minor.
Must I tell you that?
You worked elsewhere like this,
didn't you?
No, it was my first time.
You did it since you were a minor,
didn't you?
No, I didn't.
Why would you
do something like this
when you seem normal?
What makes someone normal?
You can make money honestly
and legitimately
like everyone else.
Why don't you try
to live a normal life?
Why?
Do you know how many jobs
I have per day?
I work like crazy,
but I can't save any money.
I'm scared to buy
even a cheap meal.
It's suffocating
just to survive.
How can I
live a normal life?
- Look.
- Please!
Don't pity me.
What do you think
about what I did?
If you can make
someone happy for 3 hours,
maybe it's meaningful too.
Maybe it's just self-delusion.
What is it?
It's all garbage.
There's so much!
Excuse me. Do you live here?
No.
Do you know the man
who lives here?
He left.
What?
Where did he go?
He moved out today.
Damn it.
Then... who are you, sir?
The homeowner.
The floor is scratched up.
What is this crap?
Wait.
Do you know where he went?
He said he's going back home.
Home?
He said he's taking
the ship at 9:30 p.m.
I didn't know he was so messy!
He's taking a ship?
Where is his hometown?
Yanbian!
If you know him, just call him.
Why did I take him in? Damn it!
Damn.
Hi.
There's a new guy
with her, sir.
What are you talking about?
Lee Jung-yoon.
She's going around with some guy.
A guy?
Where are you?
In Chinatown.
Chinatown...
If you can,
take a picture of him and send it.
Yes, sir.
Don't come back here
and keep tailing them.
Report to me
if anything happens to
Lee Jung-yoon.
Okay.
(CERTIFICATE OF
ENTRY & DEPARTURE)
(DETECTIVE NAM:
SHE'S ON A BUS)
Do you really think
our fates are determined?
I don't just think that.
I have no choice
but to believe it.
I have 3 hours and 12 minutes left
if what you say is my fate.
Got anyone you'd like to see?
Like family?
There's no one.
So, is anything identifiable?
It's hard because the dashcam
is far from the pay phone,
but I'll do what I can for this.
Want another cup?
How about a beer
instead of coffee?
I'm busy, pal. Hurry up.
What's wrong?
I see something.
Are you okay?
A granny...
What?
I've never seen her before.
She resembles you.
She's surrounded by family.
They look sad.
By chance, am I there too?
No.
Whoa.
Why?
My grandma is in the hospital
from a car accident 2 weeks ago.
Please leave
a message after the...
Damn.
Funny meeting you here.
Have you been well?
Yes.
I'm moving back home.
There's no future for me here.
It's nice to see you
one last time.
Wait.
Here.
You gave this to me
when we first met.
I don't need it anymore.
Bye.
Wait.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Why'd you always ask for me?
You didn't seem
that happy on our dates.
Alice...
I thought you knew too.
That no matter what,
we're not getting anywhere,
and alone.
My name is Lim Jong-hyuk.
If you can, remember me.
I'm...
I'm Lee Jung-yoon.
Lee Jung-yoon.
Lee Jung-yoon...
How does it feel?
Seeing someone's future?
It's painful.
Because there's nothing I can do.
Though you're about to die,
I can only watch.
I guess it's painful
whether you know
or don't know your fate.
My grandma is fine.
That's good.
They said,
grandma's bones healed
and she's eating well too!
Why you...
Are you sure I'm going to die?
I got a call
from the hospital 2 weeks ago.
They said to send money
for Grandma's surgery.
Mom left my number on file
because she has no money.
It was the first time I heard
about my family in 10 years.
I'm glad your grandma is fine.
Thanks.
What do you want to do
if you make it past tonight?
I just want to live
in a small place
and be happy with people I love.
You're a visionary.
What?
A dreamer.
Then you're a visionary too.
You have visions.
They're just nightmares.
There are 2 and a half hours left.
It's done.
What? This is Kim Jun-woo.
Kim Jun-woo?
He's the boyfriend
of the abandoned factory victim.
Where are you going now?
I'm not sure
where I should go, either.
Do you know?
All I know is that
you're going to die at midnight.
What in the world
am I doing here with you?
You're looking for the one
who's going to kill you.
What if everything
you're saying is a lie?
Why would I lie to you?
How would I know
what you're thinking?
Never mind.
I'm the one who followed you.
This is...
Do you think
Kim Jun-woo is the killer?
Probably.
Why would he kill her?
For punishment.
Punishment?
He probably couldn't
stand Ji Seo-yeon
for staining his perfect life.
To Kim Jun-woo,
Ji Seo-yeon must've been
like a watch or shoes he owned.
Belongings can be discarded,
is that it?
He's got some nerves.
He killed his girlfriend,
and faked an alibi.
What about Kim Hae-ji
and the suicide victim?
Think about the connection
to the Maze Club.
Maybe he thinks it's his calling
to clean up the corrupt society.
Sir, will you report it
to the chief?
Of course.
So we can set Kim Jun-woo
as a suspect
and keep investigating.
(SARA)
Did you know about it?
Yes, I headed the case.
Why'd you cover it up?
It involves our station.
Please don't preach
about camaraderie and such.
Camaraderie?
Do you think I have that in me?
Then why?
What will happen
if the chief gets arrested?
The serial murder investigation
will lose course
and the focus will be
on police corruption.
So, you planned to keep it buried,
until you catch the killer?
First things first.
Still,
as we keep investigating,
the chief's ties to the Maze Club
is bound to surface.
Probably.
But now is not the time.
Catching Kim Jun-woo
is the top priority.
Kim Jun-woo...
I'll make the report.
Chief.
I got the video analysis results.
Let's see.
Kim Jun-woo, age 27.
He was Ji Seo-yeon's boyfriend.
Who?
The first victim
at the abandoned factory.
Sara?
Now, he's a suspect.
Ki-hoon.
This will be linked
to the Maze Club, won't it?
I was about to tell you.
Detective Yoo
found out everything.
You've come too far
to go unscathed.
Let's end it with
as few scars as possible.
How?
I'll use Kim Jun-woo.
We've located him.
Detective Nam is on his tail.
First, call Detective Nam
back here.
Okay.
And, bro?
Trust me. Okay?
Okay.
What is this place?
I came to buy
self-defense goods here once.
If I have to die,
I want it to be less painful.
May I?
Come in.
Can this block a knife?
Of course not.
It can block bullets,
but not knives.
Then what can block a knife?
Hold on a second.
I'll take this call outside.
Hi, Jung-yoon.
Let me ask you a question.
If someone's with you,
just say yes or no.
No, I'm alone.
Is there someone around you now
who says he sees the future?
How do you know that?
That man...
He's a suspect
in a serial murder case.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Jung-yoon.
Can you do me a favor?
I know where that is.
I'll go there.
But, Mister...
Is that man really a...
No matter what he told you,
he's an unrehabilitable prick.
I have to catch him.
I promise to protect you
no matter what.
You trust me, right?
Yes.
Good. Thanks.
(FAITH IS BEING SURE OF
WHAT WE HOPE FOR)
(AND CERTAIN OF
WHAT WE DO NOT SEE)
(LEE JUNG-YOON: I'M ON MY WAY)
We're here.
This is where I'll die.
The current time is 11:35 p.m.
25 minutes left.
(CHIEF HWANG)
Yes, Chief.
Where are you?
Ah... well...
Detective Park gave the orders?
Pardon? Ah...
Who are you tailing now?
Lee Jung-yoon.
She used to work for Maze Club.
Detective Park told me
to watch her from a stalker.
Is she with a man now?
Yes.
Send me your location.
And listen to me carefully.
Detective Park
is on his way there.
Then should I join him?
No, stay and watch the situation
and report to me directly.
Tell Park that you
returned to the station.
Pardon?
Nam Sang-hyun.
Don't try to use your head
and just do what you're told.
Yes, sir.
Did you hear from Ki-hoon?
I found out and asked him.
Good.
So?
I wanted to hear it from you,
before I report it
to internal affairs.
Want me to apologize?
Why'd you do it, sir?
Chief!
It's just as you know it.
Nothing more
and nothing less.
First, let's deal
with Kim Jun-woo.
Detective Nam located Kim Jun-woo.
Detective Park
is on his way there.
What?
They've located Kim Jun-woo?
Ki-hoon didn't tell you?
He told Detective Nam to tail him.
(DETECTIVE NAM: I'M HEADING BACK)
No one believed me.
Because it sounds crazy
that I had a vision of them dying.
What are you trying to say?
You don't believe me, either.
Who was on the phone?
Can you trust that person?
No.
I don't trust anyone,
but myself now,
because I'm the one who dies.
I'm the one who saw that.
You have to trust me.
The current time is 11:57 p.m.
It's almost time
for you to die.
Don't touch me!
Let me go!
Please...
Please trust me.
Freeze!
Let go of her
and turn to me, slowly.
Put the knife down.
Drop it, Kim Jun-woo!
Stay back.
I'm warning you
according to protocol.
If you don't drop the knife,
I will have to shoot.
Drop the knife.
I can't drop it.
The killer will come now.
Killer?
Why? Are you worried?
That she won't die like you said?
No.
That you can't kill her?
You didn't predict,
but gave notice of killing her.
She's the one who got you here.
She helped lure you in.
It's over, you crazy murderer!
It was you.
You killed her!
The current time is 11:59 p.m.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Sorry.
I should've come sooner.
It's okay. You came on time.
Right.
It's 12:00 a.m., midnight.
(DON'T DIE. GRIN AND BEAR IT,
LEE JUNG-YOON)
How do you know
I'll die 6 hours later?
Your watch showed 12 o'clock.
Happy birthday, Lee Jung-yoon.
I prepared
a surprise gift for you.
So you should
say thank you and take it.
Go on.
Here.
Are you the one
who killed those women?
Why?
Rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation?
What is my calling?
It's protecting
the safety of the public,
bringing criminals to justice,
and rehabilitating them.
Those women were innocent.
Dammit! How can you say
they were innocent?
I'll ask you one more time.
Was the Maze Club good or evil?
What are you saying?
Evil.
Evil!
Absolute evil.
The evil meeting place
that corrodes the world,
jerk like you,
who worked under Choi,
and the police that knew
who covered it up for money,
are all beyond redemption!
What right do you have?
Who are you to judge?
Jung-yoon.
What do you think?
Do you think
you have the right to be saved?
Saved?
Just as I can't save you,
you, too,
can't save me.
Dammit.
Don't you get the point here?
The only thing that can save us
is ourselves, you pitiful loser.
Now, you're out, too.
Then,
watch and remember your ending.
This is how you die.
Now...
The current time is 12:01 a.m.
Why!
Why did you kill her!
Stop!
Stop it.
Do you want to be like that idiot?
Let's stop here.
Right, prick. Stop...
Freeze, Kim Jun-woo!
Are you the one
who killed those women?
Why?
Rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation?
What is my calling?
It's protecting
the safety of the public,
bringing criminals to justice,
and rehabilitating them.
Those women were innocent.
Can you send me that file?
Yes.
How did you survive?
I can't see my own future,
so I got this.
I guess yours didn't work.
If it went in any deeper,
I would've died.
Still,
your vision was right.
My girlfriend died a year ago.
I had a vision of her dying,
but I couldn't save her.
I couldn't see the time or date.
I saw the dress I bought for her
stained in blood.
At my girlfriend's funeral,
I had a vision of someone dying.
It was a friend of hers.
Not long after,
that person ended up dead too.
I told her what I saw,
but she didn't believe me.
Three women died like that.
I found out later that they worked
at the same club as my girlfriend.
So I started
looking for other people
who worked there.
You know fate can't be changed.
Why?
You'll just suffer more.
It suddenly dawned on me.
What if I follow my visions
and find the killer?
Though I can't stop
someone's death,
maybe I can stop the killer?
That's when you found me?
As soon as I saw you,
I had the vision.
But this time,
I could see the date and time.
I thought maybe I could be there
at that moment.
That's why you followed me
till the end?
Though I can't change your fate...
You had to be there
to try to catch the killer.
You did it.
What?
You changed the fates
of many more people.
You think so?
I believe it.
I'm living proof of it.
Life goes on to wherever.
The green light is on.
Please cross the street.
I thought we'd meet someday.
We met sooner than I thought.
How've you been?
How do I look?
Good.
What about you?
Still have the nightmares?
No, not anymore.
That's too bad.
If I met you,
I wanted to ask how I die.
The granny in my last vision
was surrounded by her family
in a warm household.
She was lying on a bed
and catching her breath.
An elderly man,
who is her husband,
was holding her hand tightly.
It wasn't me.
That's how the vision ended.
So you'll live a happy life
till the end.
You're not lying, are you?
You still don't trust me?
Because it wasn't
at midnight, then?
There's something
I forgot to tell you.
My watch was
1 minute slower back then.
So your vision was exactly right.
I'll believe you.
60 years later,
you will die.
(YOU WILL DIE IN 6 HOURS)
