Soon after, a bizarre infection breaks out, causing villagers to become deranged and violently kill their families. Officer Jong-goo's daughter, Hyo-jin, becomes one of the possessed. Jong-goo then meets a mysterious young woman named Moo-myeong, who claims the Japanese man is an evil spirit. A local hunter reports seeing the Japanese stranger with glowing red eyes eating a deer carcass. After a series of disturbing events and violent deaths, Jong-goo enlists the help of a Japanese-speaking deacon, Yang I-sam. They investigate the stranger's house, discovering a shrine with photos and belongings of the murdered villagers, including Hyo-jin's shoe. </p><p>As Hyo-jin's condition worsens, Jong-goo confronts the stranger, ordering him to leave the village. Jong-goo's family discovers a dead goat hanging at their gate, and Hyo-jin stabs their neighbor to death. A <a href="/wiki/Mu_(shaman)" title="Mu (shaman)">shaman</a> named Il-gwang is consulted, who claims the Japanese stranger is a demon and performs a death-hex ritual. Jong-goo stops the ritual midway, taking Hyo-jin to the hospital. The next day, Jong-goo and his companions hunt down the stranger but are attacked by the reanimated corpse of another victim, giving the stranger time to flee. They eventually kill him, and Hyo-jin's health improves. </p><p>Il-gwang encounters Moo-myeong and vomits blood. After his ritual fails, he leaves town in terror but a swarm of flying insects stops him. He calls Jong-goo, warning that Moo-myeong is the real demon, and the stranger is a shaman who was trying to kill her. Meanwhile, Yang I-sam receives news that his uncle Oh Seong-bok has killed his family. Jong-goo goes home and finds Hyo-jin had disappeared. </p><p>While looking for Hyo-Jin, Jong-goo runs into Moo-myeong. He confronts her about Hyo-jin's whereabouts. Moo-myeong claims his daughter is possessed by the stranger who is sucking her dry. She tells him his daughter is still alive and had just returned home. She tells him that his daughter will kill his family. She tells him that she has set a trap for the demon, and all he has to do is remain there and wait. Jong-goo says he is not sure if he believes her. The shaman phones him and says he must not let Moo-myeong tempt him. Moo-myeong says all he has to do is to wait until the third crow of the rooster. </p><p>Hyo-jin returns home possessed and while eating with her hands eyes a knife in the kitchen. </p><p>While Jong-goo is engaged with Moo-myeong, Yang I-sam returns to the stranger's house armed with a sickle. Yang finds him, alive inside a cave. The stranger tells him he is the devil. Yang says if the stranger reveals his true form to him he will leave him alone. The stranger chuckles at this. </p><p>Jong-goo notices his daughter's hairpin on the ground and Moo-yeong is wearing items of the victims. Believing this to be proof that she is responsible, he returns home, before the third rooster crow. </p><p>Jong-goo rushes home and discovers that Hyo-jin has slaughtered his wife and mother-in-law; she then attacks him. </p><p>The stranger photographs Yang I-sam repeatedly. He asks whether he has doubt in his heart. He then assumes his true appearance—that of the red-eyed demon, bearing <a href="/wiki/Stigmata" title="Stigmata">stigmata</a>. </p><p>Il-gwang returns with a camera in his hand and finds Jong-goo's dead family as Hyo-jin sits in a trance and Jong-goo lies dying. Il-gwang photographs the dead family members. Il-gwang returns to his car and retrieves a box which he drops. The box contains photos of other families and victims of the demon. The dying Jong-goo is reminiscing about the happy times with his daughter. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Deleted_ending">Deleted ending</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Wailing_(2016_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Deleted ending"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In a deleted scene at the end, the Japanese man is seen sitting on a bench by the roadside.
