reported her missing granddaughter nine months ago, but her son closed the case. So-yeon escorts the woman back to her apartment - in the same complex where the stray cats lived in the boiler room - and Jun-seok gives her a photo of the granddaughter, who looks exactly like the cat-eyed girl So-yeon had seen in her hallucinations, the same one the dead woman had complained of seeing. So-yeon sees the old woman's son beating his mother; he is then killed by a horde of cats. So-yeon goes to the complex's boiler room and is confronted by cats. While trying to fight off the hoarde, including Bidanyi, So-yeon falls into a large canister. The cat-eyed girl appears and shows her how she died; she had played with the cats in the boiler room, and upon hearing of the plans to kill them, she attempted to hide them in the canister. While climbing out, she fell and was paralyzed, dying with the cats after the door and windows were cemented. The girl also has a special relationship with those who have cats, and it is actually the restless spirits of the cats who have murdered the others. The girl convinces the cats to stop and they let So-yeon go free. Having conquered her claustrophobia, So-yeon visits her father in a mental hospital, riding in an elevator for the first time without panicking. As she leaves, she and Ju-seok find a kitten underneath their car, and she kindly beckons toward it.
