My Demon (2023) s01e04 Episode Script

1
THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL,
AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY
TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES,
ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS
Mr. Jeong Gu-won.
Today, I'm making
the greatest bet of my life
on this man.
Marry me.
I don't want to.
Why not? Just marry her.
That was the worst bet ever.
Do-hee.
Don't say anything.
Why would you follow me out right now?
To protect you.
I'm your bodyguard.
I keep my work and personal life separate.
I must've been crazy.
EPISODE 4
SWEET BUT DANGEROUS
-I want to hold it!
-No!
-Let me hold it!
-I said no!
Ta-da.
She's unbelievable!
Did you see that?
She proposed to him
right in front of our eyes to rub it in!
I got stabbed in the back
by my own mother.
Let's take legal action.
There's no point.
-Why not?
-We both have already received
more than our statutory shares
from Mother.
We won't get another penny.
Okay, let me think.
What if we claimed
that Mom had Alzheimer's?
That her will is invalid
since she was mentally unfit.
Attorney Jeong assisted her.
It's already been legally reviewed.
Shit!
Austin! Justin!
Come here, you little brats!
What do we do now, honey?
12 YEARS AGO
Do it by the book.
He should pay for what he's done.
I made a mistake because I was drunk.
I didn't know it was a person!
Mother!
Mother…
is driving you into a corner again.
If this is what she wanted,
I'll follow suit.
I'm pretty chill,
which means I already got over it.
Then why are you sitting back there?
My seat was always here.
Then why did you--
You probably want to explain in detail
why you had to turn down my offer,
but I'm not interested.
-I wasn't going to explain--
-I haven't been sleeping well lately.
I wasn't in my right mind,
and it was a spur-of-the-moment thing
like sleep-talking.
Don't tell me you thought
I was being serious.
The proposal?
I wouldn't use such a grand term.
Then what else should I call a proposal?
An accident.
It would make a lot more sense
to call it a small accident.
It doesn't matter to me either way.
What doesn't matter to you?
Calling it an accident?
Or that I wasn't being serious?
Or the fact that I proposed…
The fact that I sleep-talked?
If I had to answer, all three of them.
Just put on some music.
Play some uplifting music.
Will I ever get married?
Will I ever get married?
Next song.
It's already the end of the year
I even thought about marrying you
-With our own house
-Next song.
With our own room
Will you marry me…
-Everyone's got marriage on their minds.
-I said I don't!
…the rest of your life with me
The two of us…
I want some peace and quiet.
You wanted music a minute ago.
Turn off the music, please.
I won't let what happened today
get in our business because I'm chill.
But you've been the very opposite…
TO DO-HEE
I don't feel hurt at all,
probably because I never meant it.
It's just that I happened to notice
Jeong Gu-won at that moment.
There's nothing more to…
I mean,
if you weren't going to marry me,
why did you hit on me?
Why did you keep showing up
in front of me?
Do that again,
and I'll drag you to our wedding
with a snare around your neck.
TO DO-HEE
No, a tranquilizer gun would be better
since he's not human.
The ones they use on elephants.
Right in the neck
with a dosage high enough
to knock out an elephant.
Bang.
I better stay out of her sight for now.
Jeong Gu-won?
I can't believe it.
They killed Aunt Cheon-suk over an audit?
And now they're after you?
I need to find out who's behind it.
To do that,
I'll need to become chairwoman
and form an audit team myself.
No, I think you should stay out of it.
You'll be in even more danger.
I'm already in danger anyway.
I can't be safe
until the culprit is caught.
Still, Do-hee…
It's my fault.
It feels like
all of this happened because of me.
Madam Ju was killed
while trying to leave her position to me.
And I was the one who warned her
that something was up.
You know that's not true.
This was going to happen eventually.
You should be blaming
the one who killed her.
That's why I need to find out
who did this.
Anyway…
The guy at the funeral…
He's the guy
you went on a blind date with, right?
Was his name Jeong Gu-won?
-Yes.
-I get that you were desperate,
but how could you think of marrying a guy
you went on one date with?
He's a bit more than that.
Do you have feelings for him?
It's not like that.
He saved me multiple times.
So that's why you hired him
as your bodyguard?
He's the one
who can keep me safe
better than anyone else.
You're back.
Why do you always hang out in my office?
Because your office is nicer than mine.
How was the food?
What do chaebols serve at funerals?
It wasn't a funeral, but a party.
A surprise party at that.
-What?
-Human greed knows no end.
Now that I'm her bodyguard,
she wants me to marry her.
-Who does?
-Who else? Do Do-hee.
She proposed to me today.
What?
Hold on.
So that movie was a true story?
What movie?
THE BODYGUARD
This is a movie
about a singer and her bodyguard.
They hate each other's guts at first,
but they fall in love.
We're not like that.
Do Do-hee said the proposal
was just her sleep-talking.
Humans tend to be more sincere
in situations like that.
In their sleep, while drunk…
That's when they let their guard down.
She said she wasn't being serious.
"Rule number one for bodyguards."
"Never let her out of your sight."
"Rule number two."
"Never stray far from her."
"Rule number three."
"Never…
fall in love with her."
This is my favorite romance movie.
I should've become a bodyguard,
not a butler.
"No!"
That's nothing but human delusion.
What would you know
when you're clueless about love?
I'm not clueless.
I'm just not swayed
by something so stupid.
Love is a weakness.
Humans are already foolish,
and it only makes them even more foolish.
You're only like this
because you didn't get enough love.
You would've become
a guardian and not a demon
-if only you'd been loved.
-Enough with your talk about guardians.
Cut it out and get back to work.
Look at that tower of papers.
I finished my work a while ago.
Those are for you.
All of them?
My goodness.
You can't possibly sleep on the sofa.
I won't.
I'll keep watch all night,
so you can go to sleep.
I said I'm fine.
Do you think I'd get any sleep
if I left you alone right now?
I won't, so I'd rather keep watch.
You know I can't sleep
with another person under the same roof.
Then I'll be outside the door.
I was a Marine, remember?
I shouldn't have told you all that.
I'm not going to tell you
anything from now on.
Don't you dare do that.
What I'm saying is…
Do you think I'd get any sleep
knowing you're staying awake for me?
Right?
Fine.
Take it.
Here.
I'll get going, so sleep tight.
I'll go dig through some papers
since that's what I'm good at.
Thanks.
Thank me later
when you can finally sleep without worry.
Right. Give me your phone.
Why do you need my phone?
I'm going to add myself
as your emergency contact.
GUARDIAN
There.
Don't worry too much.
Security's tight here.
Don't keep things to yourself,
and don't try too hard to be okay.
You can't possibly be okay
after what you've been through.
I know I fall short,
but I'll do my best
to fill in for Aunt Cheon-suk.
You fall way too short.
You'd have to be way surlier
to fill in for Madam Ju.
Call me if anything happens.
I will.
One more thing.
What was that about an elephant earlier?
An elephant?
I have no idea.
-I clearly heard you talking about
-I'm so tired.
-knocking out an elephant or something.
-I'm going to bed. Get going.
-Thanks.
-Bye.
I'm all alone again
for the first time…
in 17 years.
Let's just get to the next step.
I should probably read
Madam Ju's letter first.
GROUP CHAT WITH LEE NU-RI,
PARK SEONG-HYEON, KIM SO-YEON…
What's this?
Nice pictures, Do-hee.
-Who's the guy?
-Who are you talking about? Show me.
A guy?
MIRAE HEIR TURNED DOWN
AT THE SPEED OF LIGH
What the heck is this?
I can't believe I have to
manually sign every document.
With my powers gone,
life is such a drag.
What are you going to do about Do Do-hee?
I mean the proposal.
I'm not crazy enough to marry her
in addition to being her bodyguard.
For a demon, as an apex predator,
to marry an insignificant human
would be like a meat eater marrying a pig.
Is this how animals feel?
I'm sorry, pigs, chickens,
and the occasional cows.
There's no need for me
to get too involved.
All I have to do
is hold out until the next full moon
and go back to being my perfect self.
I'm finally done.
The man Do Do-hee proposed to.
It's you, isn't it?
MIRAE HEIR TURNED DOWN
AT THE SPEED OF LIGH
Calm down and put your sword down first.
Is she a complete nutjob or what?
DO-HEE THE NUTJOB
And she has great timing.
I need to see you right now!
Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?
You think you're famous or something?
I am.
You made me an instant celebrity.
How could I not wear them?
They blurred the wrong face.
My face would have gotten them more--
So why did you turn me down
at the speed of light?
You were probably intimidated by my status
and didn't want to look like a snob
by saying yes right away.
I understand all that because I'm chill.
Still,
I'd appreciate an explanation.
Like I said, I plan on staying single.
Same here.
Good, so let's forget
that anything happened.
Thanks for offering to forget
something so embarrassing for me,
but the whole world
already knows about it.
Why me, though?
Why did you choose me
out of all those people there?
That's…
Don't tell me what I've heard is true.
Like in that movie…
-What do you mean?
-I heard
humans tend to be more sincere in sleep.
I wasn't being serious!
Then why should I play along
with your inexplicable whims?
Find another person
who will marry you, no questions asked.
Don't worry.
Even if you were the last guy on Earth,
I would never, ever marry you.
That's a relief.
Did he just turn me down again?
He turned me down twice in a day?
-I'll give you a lift.
-Forget it!
What if there's another acid attack?
Start the car.
I blame it all on your name.
First, at the sea,
and then today.
"Salvation."
It's just too sweet.
I thought you had to be asleep
to be sincere.
It's because it's fake.
Fake things are always sweeter.
Salvation,
love, happiness, and whatnot.
Sweet things are bad for you.
Do you know what's the worst of all?
Happiness.
Humans end up unhappy
because they try to be happy.
That's why I don't try to be happy.
If happiness isn't your goal in life,
why do you work so hard?
Just out of habit.
After my parents passed,
it felt as if I'd get swallowed up
if I didn't work hard.
By things like sadness, guilt, self-pity,
and so on.
And before I knew it,
it became a habit.
What the hell? Damn it!
How pathetic.
TO DO-HEE
What happened?
You were snoring so loudly.
Me?
We're here.
I must've been very tired.
I don't usually snore.
I don't want you to go out alone
and get in trouble,
so call me if you need me.
Though I'd rather you didn't.

TO DO-HEE
Dear Do-hee.
Madam Ju.
If you're reading this,
it would mean
that I left you all alone once again.
I'm not so curious
about how my life will end.
But I just hope
that my death won't hurt you.
That…
you'll be able to shake it off
as if it were a mischievous prank.
So Do-hee,
crying once is enough.
The position I'm leaving you with
is a battlefield
where tears aren't allowed.
FAMILY CONSENT FORM
WE GIVE OUR CONSENT TO THE AUTOPSY
I failed.
People may think I'm successful,
but I'm surrounded
by rotten people who remind me
that I've utterly failed.
You must be wondering
why I required you to marry
in order to become chairwoman.
This position
is incredibly lonely.
I've felt it to my core,
being on my own all this time.
Without you,
I would've drowned
in the hell that is loneliness.
I couldn't have you experience
the same hell I went through.
So…
if you're determined to take my place,
be sure to find someone
who will keep you company
and be on your side.
THE LATE JU CHEON-SUK
If you fail to find such a person,
just throw this position to the wolves
and save yourself.
This is the only thing I can do
as I leave you behind
in the den of wolves.
I understand your intentions, Madam Ju.
But you trust me, don't you?
I can manage well on my own.
HERE LIES A LEGEND
CHOI DEOK-HO
We don't deserve to shed a single tear
until we've avenged our boss's death!
We will offer that bastard's head
to our boss!
No matter what!
Sir, I got a lead
on that bastard from the restaurant.
His name is Jeong Gu-won,
and I have his credit card number.
And take a look.
Only this part breaks up.
The employees were clueless,
so this wasn't their doing.
Who the hell is this prick?
Good morning, Young Master.
It's a beautiful day, Young Master Yi-sun.
Young Master!
Good morning, Director Jeong.
-Mr. Park.
-Yes?
My memories from when I was human
are starting to come back.
Yi-sun? You don't know the family name?
That's what everyone called me.
Shall I delve into the matter?
I could look into noblemen named Yi-sun
from the Joseon Dynasty.
I'm not sure if it'd do me any good
to know who I was when I was human.
I'm not even sure that's me.
What's there to lose?
Let me see. Kim Yi-sun? Park Yi-sun?
What could it be?
But why are your memories
suddenly coming back after 200 years?
-What?
-Without your powers,
you're practically nothing…
I mean, a human.
That must be why they're coming back.
You're a human now.
So? What about it?
It means that you're mortal,
just like everyone else.
Car accidents are a bigger risk
than spontaneous combustion.
Goodbye, eternal life. Hello, aging.
Aging?
You'll look like me in no time.
No!
That can't happen.
No way.
I don't believe it. My face…
Here… and here…
No.
My tattoo.
I need my tattoo back.
Let's go.
CHAIRWOMAN JU DIES OF A HEART ATTACK
FAMILY BIDS TEARFUL FAREWELL
Give me your wrist. Quickly.
Weren't you going to do something?
-No.
-Then why are you holding my wrist?
How should I put it?
It gives me peace of mind.
Let's stay like this from now on.
I can't do that.
I have a public face to uphold.
You turned me down at the speed of light
not once but twice in a day.
If I let you hold me by the wrist,
what would people think of me?
That you're chill?
I'm not chill.
In fact, I care so much
that I'm practically boiling.
This is your chance to be chill.
You can be chill. I'll live the way I am.
This is for both of us.
Arthritis might stop me
from saving you in the future.
Arthritis?
I hate to admit it,
but I'm a mere human without my powers.
That means time isn't on my side anymore.
So?
I'm going to age just like all of you.
Are you saying
you want to keep holding my wrist
because you're afraid you'll age?
Yes, you get that now?
No.
What is it now?
You're treating me
like a wireless charger.
And you treat me like a Pokémon.
Demon, Pokémon. Same difference.
Whatever, you ignorant human.
Then I'll stop being your bodyguard.
Suit yourself.
If I die, your precious tattoo
will vanish with me.
Is that a threat?
You're the one who wants to quit.
Why can't you just charge me up?
I can't do it all the time.
Then when?
Good times.
Good times
are always excruciatingly short.
Goodness!
My treasure…
I'm so sorry.
I don't have any cash on me.
You don't?
No.
You can always wire me.
JESUS CORP.
DAEGUK BANK
MIRAE F&B
Good morning.
-Good morning.
-"Good morning"?
How can you say that
when our chairwoman passed away?
Let's face it.
You never even talked to her in person.
I think it's unnecessary
to pretend to be sad.
What's the point of making it big
and having connections
throughout the world?
Life is fleeting.
On that note,
how about a team dinner?
My reading said today's a bad day
for my social life.
How come every day
is a bad day for your social life?
Don't.
You're aging even as we speak.
Ms. Do is here. Smile.
Ms. Shin.
What happened to my actual date?
I mean the one I couldn't meet last time
because I was stuck with the wrong one.
Shall I arrange a meeting?
As soon as possible.
Yes, ma'am.
Also, I've secured the footage
you talked about.
What's this?
Madam Ju died from a drug allergy
on the day she ordered an audit team.
Since her medicine was in her bag,
the cameras must've caught someone
tampering with it.
It'll take forever
to go through all these.
Good luck.
Did you forget?
We're in the same boat.
Again, good luck.
Start with the most recent ones
so that we don't check
the same ones twice.
Am I a bodyguard or a private detective?
You're asking too much of me.
My eyes are burning.
This is too primitive.
Let's find another way.
Like what?
I could find the guy who was after you
with my powers.
-Is that possible?
-Of course.
-How come you never told me that?
-You never asked.
What have we been doing all this time?
Then we can also find out
who's behind him.
Problem solved.
-Let's go catch him right now.
-Okay.
Hold on a second.
Promise me one thing first.
What is it?
You won't need me
once we catch the culprit,
but I'll still need you.
It's obvious
how your attitude will change.
Don't be silly.
-You don't trust me?
-No.
Fine.
I'll help you get your tattoo back
even after we catch the culprit.
Are you happy now?
Hold on. Just a second.
What is it now?
-One more thing.
-There's more?
Let me charge regardless of where we are
and who's watching.
-That's too much.
-Forget it then.
Fine, I'll do that.
I'll let you charge whenever you want
once the culprit is caught. Happy now?
Keep your word.
I will, so hurry up
before I change my mind.
I'm already regretting it.
Hold on.
Bring us close to the culprit,
but not too close.
I may have to report it to--
Be quiet. You're distracting me.
What's going on?
What, you can't do it?
Give me a minute.
That's not right.
All that fuss for this?
What's going on? Why isn't it working?
Have you lost all your powers?
I haven't.
Then why?
Name anyone.
Someone I've met in person.
Mr. Han from the PR team?
The overzealous one? Got it.
Ms. Do, I've scheduled your date on…
I knew it. What was I expecting?
Gather up, guys.
Don't you think something's going on
between Ms. Do and Mr. Jeong?
What do you mean?
I bet the two of them are dating.
The way they interact
hints at physical intimacy.
You couldn't be more wrong.
Mr. Jeong turned down Ms. Do's proposal.
She wouldn't have proposed to him
if nothing was going on.
-You're right.
-I am.
What are you saying?
Workplace romance can be so exciting.
Have you done it yourself?
Of course.
You know what the best part is?
What is it?
Team dinners.
You're obsessed.
There's nothing like
secretly holding hands
under the table at team dinners.
There's something so enjoyable
about secret physical touch.
To workplace romance.
Cheers.
Even the slightest touch…
and momentary eye contact
can make sparks fly.
In my case,
we were holding hands for five hours.
You didn't even go to the restroom?
Don't be ridiculous.
-Should we…
-Should we…
What was that?
Is it a rat?
-A rat?
-Wait.
-Open the door.
-Open it.
-Me?
-Yes.
Come on.
-Open it!
-Here we go!
What's the point in finding Mr. Han?
There's something wrong
with the culprit, not me.
I clearly saw his face, so why…
-So it involves facial recognition?
-Yes.
Did he get plastic surgery?
Anyway, my powers aren't the problem,
so let me keep holding your wrist.
I said, "After we catch the culprit."
People already suspect
we're dating as it is.
ABRAXAS:
RELEASE THE HUNTING DOG
Why won't my powers work on that bastard?
Do you want to go for drinks
after work, Mr. Jeong?
I'd like to throw you a welcome party.
Is there a team dinner?
Ms. Choi, isn't today a bad day
for your social life?
But it's a good day
for my dating life.
Gosh, what's with you?
A team dinner?
You still haven't found him?
No, sir.
I had my guys ask around, but…
Hire a private detective,
storm the card company, or something!
Find him!
-I'm sorry, sir!
-I'm sorry, sir!
You bozos.
Goodness, boss.
This is on the house.
Hey, the ice is melting.
Bring some new ice!
I'm sorry, sir.
THOSE WHO SEEK ME DILIGENTLY FIND ME
PROVERBS 8:17
JEONG GU-WON
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SUNWOL FOUNDATION
BODYGUARD OF DO DO-HEE, CEO OF MIRAE F&B…
You killed someone
on top of all your dirty tricks?
You'll have to pay
for what you've done.
I knew it.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
That wakes me up.
They already got to it.
You're not done yet?
I'm almost done.
SEOK-HOON
Hi, Seok-hoon.
I secured Mr. Cha's laptop
and took a look,
but it was way too clean.
It's already been wiped out.
I'm going through the CCTV footage,
and it's the same.
Why don't we have dinner together?
I'll come right over.
I didn't realize how late it was.
Sure, I should eat something anyway.
No, you already have plans.
I do?
Why is everyone so quiet?
Is Ms. Do making you uncomfortable?
If we'd known Ms. Do was coming,
we would've booked a nicer place.
This was supposed to be
a casual welcome party for Mr. Jeong.
For the first round,
let's casually go for somaek.
That's what I'm talking about.
Here we go.
My goodness!
He's more resourceful than he looks.
-For the star of the night.
-No, thanks. I'm still working.
But it's your welcome party.
Then let's all drink on his behalf
to welcome him to the company.
Bottoms up!
-Welcome to the company.
-Cheers.
This is going to be a fun night!
-Let me.
-Pour me one.
Here you go.
That's too much. Drink this.
It sure is a bad day for my social life.
My superstitions never betray me.
Ms. Choi, you prefer soju?
Let's drink. Bottoms up!
-Bottoms up!
-Bottoms up!
-Nice!
-Yes!
-This is nice.
-It is.
Let's drink some more.
-Cheers.
-Way to go!
-Should Ms. Do drink too?
-Let's go in order!
-Cheers.
-Let's go!
Ms. Choi's out.
Ms. Choi.
Use this as a pillow.
That's smart.
Ms. Do, your face has gone red.
You're even redder.
It's because I've been drinking.
Sure, of course.
Can I ask you something?
Why did you turn Ms. Do down?
Are we playing truth or dare?
Is she not your type?
Why don't we call it a day?
That's not it. I like her.
-Then why?
-Exactly. Why?
So why?
People who like pork
don't marry pigs, do they?
Am I that drunk?
It's already 8 p.m.
-We might miss the last bus.
-What?
I'll get going.
Bye. I think I'll have another…
-Let's just go.
-What?
-Ms. Choi.
-Ms. Choi, let's go.
-We're leaving.
-Excuse us.
It was supposed to be a good day
for my dating life.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
My gosh.
I can finally charge without…
I'm not in the mood.
But why?
What is it now?
I can't charge when we're around others
or when you're not in the mood.
Then when can I ever charge?
You're seriously…
Forget it.
I'm human.
I'm a person with emotions,
not just a charger for…
I'd rather age than put up with her.
Something might happen
if I leave her alone.
You're the trash from the other day.
Trash?
I don't know what tricks
you used last time, but--
Nice to see you, but I have to take this.
I'm not done.
Hey, good job.
I didn't see that coming. Nice.
You guys leave me no choice.
He has another newspaper.
All right.
DO-HEE THE NUTJOB
-Get him.
-Yes, sir.
The number you have dialed cannot be…
GU-WON THE SAVIOR
Where did he go?
GU-WON THE SAVIOR
Mother.
Did you even have the right
to criticize others' wrongs?
You bastard.
I finally got you.
Hey.
Say hi…
to the boss for me.
Jeong Gu-won.
Do Do-hee.
What do you want?
I'm…
my bodyguard's bodyguard!
What is she saying?
Boys, take care of her.
Stay away.
Why is charging
always the problem for everything?
Stay away.
Is that a gun?
Get her!
Jeong Gu-won!
Do you know
how to tango?
Tango?
-What's happening?
-Something's wrong.
This is strange, sir.
You must trust your partner
when you tango.
Why are you suddenly talking about tango?
Get it together!
Don't fall for his tricks.
What is this?
Get him!
Behind you!
Hey, give me that.
You morons,
why are you dancing all of a sudden?
Pull yourselves together!
What is this?!
"Rule number one for bodyguards."
"Never let her out of your sight."
"Rule number two."
"Never stray far from her."
"And rule number three."
"Never…
fall in love with her."

Something's wrong with me.
Falling for a worthless human being?
What's with the attitude?
Did I do something wrong?
I don't see why I should be nice to you.
I declare that CEO Noh Suk-min
has been elected acting chairman.
Do send me a wedding invitation.
I insist on being there as your family.
It doesn't matter who.
It's not a real marriage anyway.
Let's register our marriage today.
Are you really going to marry
that sleazebag?
Why are you so upset?
Pull yourself together
and tell me what your problem is.
You want to know what my problem is?
