Light Shop
You can change that light bulb out,
you know.
There's nothing bad you can say
about the bones of this place.
You got an elegant living space,
easy to keep tidy.
Not to mention,
the rooms are pretty big too.
Look at this water pressure.
[birds chirping]
So, what's going on with the windows?
That's 'cause you have a road
right out there.
On the first floor, too.
We're trying to make sure
young ladies like you are safe.
[thuds]
How strong is the lock on the door?
Door lock?
Signing a contract gets you a key.
I'd suggest changing the lock.
That's usually what new tenants do.
[scoffs]
[curious music playing]
[sighs]
[broker] Is it not to your liking?
Maybe you should take the last one.
That one was well within your budget.
I mean, that apartment was pretty nice,
even if it was a little old.
I hate apartments
'cause there are neighbors everywhere.
[broker] Uh, why?
So, is this area quiet?
[broker] You can put a dining table,
right here!
What did you say?
You're in the back of an alley,
and all the other houses are empty,
so yeah, it's really quiet.
Hm.
[Sunhae] A table?
[broker] Uh, no one's ever around here.
It's always gonna be nice and quiet.
You won't find a cheaper house than this.
So you should hurry up
and take this one off the market.
Come on, tell me what you're thinking.
[rattles]
[broker] Oh, that door doesn't open.
Huh?
The room isn't finished,
so you can't use it yet.
And what am I supposed to do
until then, huh?
[broker] Well, that would be why
the deposit is so cheap.
Besides, there are two other rooms
in the house.
-Just use one of them.
-[scoffs]
It doesn't matter how cheap it is,
it's wrong.
Then you can apply
for the apartment instead.
Those two are your only options
on the market right now.
[groans] I hate apartments,
I told you that.
Ma'am, look.
You were the one
who said you liked this place.
What did you call me?
When did I tell you that?
[laughs] Sorry, sorry, sorry. My mistake.
I confused you for someone else.
All right. Are you signing or what?
There's gotta be something else out there.
Well, it's nothing you can afford.
[breathes deeply]

[happy piano music playing]

CAROL
[yelps] Shit.

[groans]
Seriously?
[switch clicking]
[sighs wearily]
Is it because the house is so old?
[light buzzing]
I don't see any improvement.
Doesn't look like
there's anything else to do.
Keep an eye on this a little longer.
Then we can re-evaluate
if we continue life support.
[doctor] Yes.
-[man groaning]
-[monitor beeping]
[groaning continues]
[weakly] Who is it?
[groaning]
Who are you? [groans]
Go. [groans] Go away. [groans]
[Jeongwon] He's an alcoholic.
ICU placed him here
when they ran out of beds.
His delirium's severe.
His behavior is affecting
the stability of others in the ward.
[sighs] Let's move him to another room
when he recovers, yeah?
Okay.
It's not easy around here.
Too many patients, not enough staff.
And no one wants to work in the ICU.
I'll try and get more nurses
assigned here.
-Reinforce all of your staffing needs.
-[Jeongwon] Okay.
[sighs] I better go.
-Anything else you need me to address?
-Oh, right.
We have the guardians
waiting outside right now.
What would you like us to say?
-[clicks tongue] I can speak with them.
-Okay.
[sighs wearily]
Uh
Whatever we could do,
I assure you we have done.
Now, we wait.
Pulling through
depends on the will of the patient.
I don't understand.
Could you please help me understand?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
At the end of the day,
it comes down to how strong
the patient's will to live is.
If the hospital can't do anything,
what good are you?
[sobbing] What good are you
if you aren't going to do anything
to help?
[crying hysterically]
[man] Oh, honey.
[crying]
[man] Oh, dear.

[sniffles]
[lock clicks]
[Youngji sighs]
-[exhales]
-[footsteps approaching]
[sniffles]
[knocking on door]
Yeah?
[woman] There's something I wanted to ask.
What?
[woman] You were all saying
it would depend
on the patient's will to live.
[sighs]
Are you
one of the family members then?
[sighs]
I'm so sorry.
We're doing everything we can
to make sure they pull through.
[woman] So, this will to live
[Youngji] Yes.
[woman] How exactly does that happen?
If a person is unconscious,
how do they find that willpower?
[sighs] Actually
I was always curious about that.
I was in an accident once,
and I was found unconscious at the scene.
And the doctor said that
to my mother, too.
Or something close to what you heard.
"The patient's will is what's key now."
She was upset, my mother,
since she didn't understand either.
Believed that there were no alternatives.
[inhales] I woke up
not too long after that.
Uh
Though, um
I still don't know what it was
that ended up bringing me out of it.
All my mother said was that
she prayed every day.
She wanted to give me the will
to push through it.
See, that's why
It could be that
I was not the only reason
why I was able to survive.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
I know I'm a nurse,
but I still have no idea.
How can someone have a will
when they're unconscious?
Where would they find any?
I couldn't even say.
There's no way to know.
So, we just have to wait.
So, we wait and do
everything in our power, you know?
[door rattles loudly]
[suspense music playing]
-[door rattles]
-[gasps]
-Uh, what are you doing? [gasps]
-[woman] So what are you going to do then?
Are you telling me
there's nothing you can do?
[sobbing] Listen to me,
you have to save her somehow!
Do everything in your power to save her!
Do you understand?
You have to save her somehow!
I don't care what you do, just save her!
Save her!
Save her! Save her!
[knock on door]
[cleaning lady] Are you okay?
[breathing heavily]
[sighs in relief]
Is everything okay in there?
[sighs sharply]
-Are you all right?
-[breathing heavily]
Yeah, sure.
I I think I'm okay.

Heading to ♪
Where the wind blows ♪
[gasps]
Hey, you're the guy?
You're the one singing
in the alley every night?
Why are you singing like that
while going back and forth?
[gasps, singing loud and scared]
Hey! Hey!
[man continues singing loudly]
What the hell?
[electrical buzzing]
All right, everyone, we all know
that midterms are coming up, right?
-[all] Yes.
-You been studying hard?
[all] Yes. [giggling]
The rain's really coming down
out there right now.
Let's say our farewells. Go on.
Now, ready? Everyone bow to the teacher.
[all] Thank you.
Hey.
Should I wake her?
-No, leave her alone.
-What?
Come on, hurry up, let's go.
[Bobae] But if we leave her,
she might sleep until morning!
-That'll be good for her, right?
-No.
-Come on, let's get out of here.
-You're really just gonna leave her there?
[Bobae] Hurry up! It's raining.
I don't wanna get stuck in it!
Hey, Eutteum.
Eutteum.
[Eutteum] What?
The class is done.
-[Eutteum groans] Ten minutes.
-[sighs sharply]
-I said it's done.
-[Eutteum groans]
[grumbling]
You're so pretty.
Just let me sleep.
[sighs wearily]
[loud banging]
[gasps] What could that be?
[whirring]
[shudders]
[exhales]
Hmm?
-[whirring]
-[breath trembling]
[exclaims]
[gasps]
[gasps]
Uh [whimpering]
Oh hey.
Do you wanna share?
Who are you?
Oh well, just a student in the area.
Where are you going?
To the light shop.
[woman] Why are you going there?
My mom asked me to run an errand.
Are you lost?
Oh! Uh
[woman] Where do you live?
[Hyunju] The Somang Apartments.
[Hyunju shudders]
[Hyunju] Oh.
[gasps]
[breath trembling]
[Wonyoung] And should you meet
one of them, do not look their way.
-[bone cracks]
-[gasps]
[bones cracking]
[shuddering]
[bones crunching]
[breath trembling]
[gasps in horror]
[whimpering]
[Hyunju] What if I already did?
Then you pretend
you didn't see anything strange.
[Hyunju shudders]
Uh, my mom
[stammering] I-- I just remembered
wants me to hurry back now.
[breathing heavily]
[suspense music playing]
[bones crunching]
[suspense music intensifies]
[shrieking]
[Hyunju shrieking indistinctly]
-[Hyunju screams] Mom! Mom!
-[bell dinging]
It's you! Mister! Help me, over there!
[whimpering]
Your mother.
Go.
[whimpering]
[panting]
[heels clucking]
[receding footsteps]
[thunder rumbling]
-[thunder cracks]
-[gasps]
[thunder rumbling]
[groans] Seriously?
They didn't wait?
[groans]
[thunder cracks]
[shudders]
[thunder roars]
[thunder roaring]
I saw it.
Did you see it, too?
[thunder rumbling]
[thunder roars]
[groans softly]
-[rain pattering]
-[panting]
[exclaims]
[Jiung shudders]
Sorry if I scared you.
[shuddering] It's just not many people
tend to use this alley at night.
Where are you going?
There's a light shop
at the far end of this street.
It's really bright,
so if I could just get there
I'd be able to get home then.
Are you heading to the light shop, too?
Did you wanna tag along with me
if you are?
[suitcase rattles]
-[Jiyoung] Are you alone?
-[Jiung] What?
[Jiyoung] I asked if you were here alone.
Uh, right now?
Yeah. Alone.
-[switch clicking]
-[sighs]
Why does the light keep going out?
[groans]
[water running]
[eerie music playing]
-[gasps, breathing heavily]
-[switch clicks]
[gasps]
[shuddering]
[gasps]
[door creaks shut]
[suitcase rattling]
[Jiung shuddering] Shit.
[Jiyoung] What's wrong?
Well, it's always been dark in this alley.
But then these windows lit up
just like now.
I tried taking a peek because I thought
maybe somebody had moved in,
and then the lights went out
and the window opened.
[Jiung gasps]
Hey. You're the guy?
You're the one singing
in the alley every night?
[stuttering] But I saw
someone else behind her.
[Jiyoung] Do you think they were together?
[shuddering] Yeah,
they were together. Why?
[breath trembling]
[door creaking]
[shudders]
[thunder cracks]
[breath trembling]
[Sunhae] The lights keep going out
in the house.
[door creaking]
Because that thing
was meant to hide in the darkness.
[breath trembling]
Somehow it had been living
in this house with me.
Could it be
that those two know each other?
[Jiung] No. Let's go! Come on.
[gasps, panting]
Are you hurt?
[breathing heavily]
You and I are a lot alike, aren't we?
[breath trembling]
[gasps, exclaims]
[stammering] What's wrong with my legs?
[sobbing] What's wrong with my legs?
What's happening to me?
[trembling]
[yelps]
[Jiyoung] Do you really think
you can leave this place?
[Jiung grunts] I have to go home.
I wanna go home.
I need to get out of here! [whimpering]
I have to get out of this place!

[sobbing] I know you're there!
Come on [crying]
Just get me out of here.
The door is locked, I can't get out!
Come on! Come on!
[grunting, panting]
[breathing heavily]
[shudders] Someone, please,
just help me get out of here.
[crying]
I wanna go back home right now. [crying]
[sobbing]
You're outside, I can hear you.
I'm begging you!
-[Sunhae] Please, just open the door.
-Somebody, anybody, please, listen.
-[Sunhae] I can't get out.
-You gotta get me out of here. [sobs]
[Sunhae] I can hear you.
Just open the door please!
-Please open the door.

[Sunhae] I'm begging you, please!
I know you're there, I can hear you.
-[Jiung crying]

You just have to open the door.
Please, help me

[suitcase rattling]
What brings you here?
[ominous music playing]
[light buzzing]
Anything you're looking for?
Perhaps, you'll know what it is.
Just tell me what you need.
Maybe I can find it for you.
-[bell dinging]
-[thunder cracks]
Can I ask you some questions?
[Wonyoung] What brings you here?
I'm with the police.
