Sell Your Haunted House (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Now. Take off the necklace.
I can't do it. I won't.
You can do it. You have to.
I don't want to do this, Mom.
Ji-a, are you awake?
Auntie.
Where's Mom?
Call me if you need any help.
Anytime, okay?
Mom died because of me, didn't she?
No, that's not true.
Mom told me to stab the ghost,
but I was too scared to do it.
You were right.
It's happened to me
a lot since I was little.
I always thought I was sleepwalking.
But now I know that was spirit possession.
Do you know how many times
I woke up with bloody hands?
I don't want that
to happen anymore.
You'll never wake up
with bloody hands again.
I won't let that happen. I promise.
So trust me and take the necklace off.
Ji-won,
after the surgery,
let's go home.
I'll get it ready.
Ji-won,
how could I
leave you all alone?
I have to go home.
I have to go home.
Home?
Why would someone who died at home
become a wandering spirit?
What just entered
my body?
The memories that the spirit
could not let go of until he died.
Please come again.
Why did you tear it off
when I was going to take it off?
I was getting emotionally prepared.
That's assault!
You should've taken it off
when I told you to.
I was going to.
Even if you hadn't done that,
I would've taken it off.
What is this?
Does that guy have no pride?
What's there to cry about?
Hey, mister, it's not like that.
This isn't me crying.
I know.
That's a side effect.
A side effect?
Once the vengeful spirit's memories
enter your body,
even after the exorcism is over,
those memories and habits
remain in you for a while.
So I recommend you
to stay home for a week.
-You should've told me that!
-It's in the contract.
The contract
How long did you say it lasts?
A week? It's not forever, is it?
The emotions gradually wear away.
But the memories stay.
So these painful memories
will last forever?
The memories of strangers'?
Is this what you made your psychics do
to make money?
Gosh, you're really cruel.
You don't even pay us that much.
Vengeful spirits' memories
shouldn't be absorbed by psychics.
What do you mean?
Usually, the exorcist
is the one who absorbs them.
But strangely, when I perform an exorcism
with you, you absorb their memories.
I told you this the day we first met.
I see. So is that why you asked me
to work together?
You coldhearted woman.
You're the one who mentioned it first.
Do you not remember that?
Like I said, it's best to stay home.
Oh In-beom.
What is it this time?
Eat your favorite dishes,
watch your favorite shows,
and buy whatever you like.
Try to take your mind off it.
Good work today.
DAEBAK REALTY
How long have you been doing this?
Ten years.
Why?
It must've been tough.
I've only done it once,
and it's already unbearable.
But doing this alone for ten years?
You did great today as well, Ms. Hong.
DAEBAK REALTY
Great work today.
I got your favorite dish ready.
Enjoy it and rest up.
My God!
Check out my reflexes.
I saved the chicken.
You want me to carry them
one by one safely?
Making several trips is a hassle.
Move aside. You're in my way.
Forget it.
I'll just go this way, my gosh.
Darn it.
It's
Gosh, could you just move aside for once?
Gosh.
Let's eat.
This looks delicious.
-I finally understand why.
-What?
What do you mean?
Kids in my neighborhood
never played with me.
Some of them threw stones at me
while some ran away crying.
The look on their faces was
the same as yours.
It's okay.
Even my grandma said
that I was possessed by ghosts
and that it was my fate.
She'd curse at me.
I thought it was ridiculous.
But she was right.
I'm sorry.
You know that I'm a scaredy-cat.
Do understand. Please?
I'll never be afraid of you ever again.
I promise.
Are you still
scared of me?
No.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to quit here?
No.
I still don't know why my uncle had this.
I must find out.
Having chicken and beer after work
is the best.
It must've been tough.
I've only done it once,
and it's already unbearable.
But doing this alone for ten years?
I guess he's not that bad
of a guy after all.
Don't you think so?
What's your problem? Is this fun for you?
You keep startling me.
I finished all of them.
Got it.
I'm possessed.
No matter what you hear,
do not come downstairs.
Understood?
No.
Don't go.
Don't go.
No!
Pull yourself together, Ji-a!
You have to do this.
Now.
Wake up, Hong Ji-a.
This isn't real.
You must wake up.
Mom
Mom I'm sorry
Sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Ms. Hong!
Ms. Hong!
Open up.
DAEBAK REALTY
Ms. Hong!
I know you're inside. Come on.
Ms. Hong.
Hey, Hong Ji-a!
"Hey, Hong Ji-a"?
Why did you pretend you weren't in?
-What is it?
-Don't treat me like a stranger.
Open up.
If it's not urgent, let's talk later.
Wait.
This is urgent.
My heart is breaking
because of the painter's memories.
I can neither eat nor sleep.
And I cry all the time.
Gosh. I'm about to cry again.
Just give it a week.
I explained everything to you yesterday.
You said you would take care of it.
Take responsibility for what you said!
What? You look awful.
-Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
-Be quiet.
Just come in.
Go ahead.
Pardon?
You wanted a solution.
Punching the sandbag until I forget
the deceased's memories is my solution.
Is there another solution
that's non-violent?
I'm a delicate guy.
Then, punch it delicately.
You can't just leave like that.
It was urgent.
Sorry. It was urgent for me as well.
Urgent? What do you mean?
I told you. When I touch you
When you touch my body,
it becomes warm again.
Oh, that?
Then you must be very grateful to me.
So you must help
to get me out of this misery!
-What do you want me to do?
-I don't know. Do something!
Do you know what happened to me
last night?
ADMINISTRATION,
PRESCRIPTION PICKUP COUNTER
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
-Pardon?
-Pardon?
Gosh. How did I end up here?
I came to see her, but I'm leaving now.
Wait.
Yes?
Can you give this
to Ms. Choi Ji-won's guardian?
He had a wife?
They didn't register their marriage,
but they were married.
And his wife is very sick now.
She needs to get the surgery,
but the money
I've given it some thought.
Let's ask Director Lee
to give back one of his paintings.
If she does, it means
that she's acknowledging
that there was a ghost painter.
There's no way she'd take
that big of a risk.
-Darn it!
-Hey.
When you punched it,
you imagined it was my face, right?
Then I have no choice
but to get the media involved.
If we disclose
Kim Byeong-ho's videos online,
Britium will be an accomplice
in this grand fraud case
and face a huge monetary loss.
And I'm sure you will be
in a tight spot since you signed
an NDA with her.
"The grand fraud case"
You don't have the videos, do you?
You didn't even watch the videos, did you?
The videos? I deleted all of them.
Every single one of them.
Ms. Hong told us to erase all of them
when she got us out.
Gosh. No way.
Do you think I'd bluff without the videos?
Come on.
Didn't you see the yellow ginkgo tree
in his painting?
He drew that in because his wife liked it.
But how can I
Just think that you watched
a very sad movie.
As you can't change the plot of a movie,
there's nothing we can do.
He's already dead, anyway.
But Choi Ji-won is alive!
We don't do exorcisms
just for vengeful spirits,
but also for the people left behind.
They must go on with their lives.
Say something.
Darn it.
He was incredibly talented,
but he only led a life of suffering.
It's such a good deal,
and it's all thanks to you.
I'm just happy to do business with you.
It's an honor
that both of you are satisfied.
All right. I'll get going now.
Ms. Hong.
I'll count on you again next time.
I won't see you out, sir.
Good luck with your business.
I made sure the backed-up videos
were deleted.
It's up to you to decide
to delete these videos as well.
So you are telling me
that the vengeful spirit
will no longer show up here?
That's right.
I took care of it for good.
My husband wanted
to be a painter at first.
As he couldn't fulfill his dream,
he had a deep affection for Britium
And expanding the museum
was his last wish.
But,
he left too soon to see that.
Your husband had a happy life.
I know that you were hoping that
the vengeful spirit here was him.
I wanted to see him one last time
even if it was just his spirit.
But he didn't show up.
How cold-hearted.
People who led happy lives
don't remain as vengeful spirits.
The fact that you can't see his spirit
proves that he led a happy life with you.
They didn't register their marriage,
but they were married.
And his wife is very sick now.
Those paintings belong to Kim Byeong-ho.
I'm sure she will give one to his wife.
Mr. Kim had a wife.
Mr. Kim painted a yellow gingko tree
in many of his paintings
because it was his wife's favorite tree.
As for the self-portrait,
he painted it for himself.
Can you at least give it back to his wife?
That's all you have to say, right?
That was embarrassing.
This is all Oh In-beom's fault.
Why did I embarrass myself like that?
I would've gladly said yes to that price.
You should have told me.
I thought
you were waiting
for the price to fall further.
Then I assumed
you had missed your chance, Mr. Do.
Perhaps it just wasn't meant to be.
Please have your tea before it cools.
If you don't drink it at the right moment,
you can't fully
appreciate the taste of the tea.
It's bitter.
What is this?
In-beom, what are you doing?
You're scaring me.
Hey, don't come closer. Go away!
What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?
-Blood.
-Blood?
-What's going on?
-It's blood!
What's going on?
It's a side effect of being possessed.
How will you live like this?
-Wait a minute.
-What is it?
Just now, I've created a painting
of Kim Byeong-ho
No, a painting by Cho Hyeon-seo,
the greatest painter of all time.
-Right?
-Right.
If it's a Cho Hyeon-seo piece
That's amazing.
These side effects
aren't necessarily bad things.
With this, we can take care
of Ms. Choi's surgery.
Are you kidding me? Ms. Choi?
Why do we have to pay
for a stranger's surgery?
Because I have to take care
of that stranger for me to live on.
Whenever I picture that face,
my heart
Here it comes again.
-The tears are streaming down.
-Anyway,
I have to do it to live.
And as for the painting,
I can just make another one.
That's true.
If you draw paintings with these hands
You're a goose that lays the golden eggs!
Find an art lover
with most cash in this industry.
Okay, just wait a moment.
-Are you really not going?
-Go without me.
The more people,
the more vengeful spirits.
It's here.
Hey.
Hey.
Thank you.
In-beom's not doing
anything stupid, right?
He is.
He went to the museum to sell a painting.
He went to sell what?
The ambience is so classy here.
That's great.
-See you later.
-See you soon.
-All right.
-Goodbye.
-Long time no see, Hwa-jeong.
-Hello.
Do you still work at that old shop?
Any desire to come back?
What?
The work is just so fun.
I wonder, how did the CEO
manage to convince you?
What? you said you weren't coming.
-Have you seen Oh In-beom?
-No.
What?
Who is that beauty?
The CEO of our shabby shop.
Ms. Hong, fancy seeing you here.
Director Lee told me
it's been sorted out thanks to you.
Good work.
SPECIAL EXHIBITION OF KIM BYEONG-HO,
THE TRAGIC GENIUS
The painter Kim Byeong-ho
had no education and no connections.
He had to live for 20 years
as the ghost painter
of Cho Hyeon-seo, the well-educated
and well-connected artist.
-What is that?
-My gosh!
-What?
-Isn't that the painting?
She's saying he didn't paint them?
-What?
-What is this?
What? She said no so firmly,
but she convinced Director Lee in the end.
The truth
was only revealed
after the painter passed away.
I could endure that time
with love for my art,
and today, with this prize,
I feel I have been rewarded
for the time and effort
I have poured into my work.
This piece won Cho Hyeon-seo
the grand prize at an art contest.
But before that,
when it was submitted
under Kim Byeong-ho's name,
it did not even pass
the preliminary rounds.
We Britium,
even if we must reveal our own mistakes,
have decided to reveal the truth
to show respect
for the late artist though it's belated.
We sincerely apologize to everyone here,
as well as to artist Kim Byeong-ho.
-That was shocking.
-This is insane.
-I can't believe it.
-Really?
Cho Hyeon-seo fled.
It doesn't matter what country.
Just get one that leaves the soonest.
Fancy meeting you here,
Artist Cho.
Darn it.
Are you insane, you jerk?
Do you want to die?
Mr. Cho Hyeon-seo.
You're under arrest
for the murder of Kim Byeong-ho.
-Murder?
-What?
-Not fraud?
-Do you have proof?
Yes, we have video footage of you
killing Mr. Kim.
-A video?
-That's impossible.
I deleted everything.
What?
You want 200 million won?
You must be insane.
You're not in your right mind.
Are you gambling without me knowing?
I know my pieces
are worth at least that much.
"My pieces"?
You think that's the value of your work?
It's the value of my reputation,
the reputation of Cho Hyeon-seo.
If you try to sell them with your name,
you won't even get 200,000 won.
But I
They say I'm in the final stages
of lung cancer.
I'm dying.
For old times' sake,
could you please pay me
the proper price for my work this once?
I really need that money.
Stage 4 lung cancer?
I want to spend
the rest of my time in my hometown
with my wife.
Hold on.
Lung cancer?
What will happen to me if you die?
What about me?
-What are you doing?
-Move aside. These are all mine.
Move. They're mine.
And
-No, not this one.
-That's mine too. Nothing's yours.
No! Please! This is mine
-No.
-Move! It's mine!
I said, move!
Hey.
Hey. What's wrong with you?
Darn it!
No. Wait.
That's not what happened. Wait.
I'd like to sincerely thank
all of you for coming.
She turned the worst case into
something favorable. She's indeed amazing.
Hello.
I didn't think you'd tell the truth.
I wasn't going to.
But
Please.
What you said
reminded me of what my husband said.
Every time he saw Kim Byeong-ho's work,
he said it felt like a love letter
even though the painting
only showed scenery.
I didn't think too much of it
since he was an emotional person.
But after speaking with you,
I thought it was right to send those
letters back to the original recipient.
It seemed like the last favor
I could do for my husband.
The reporters are waiting.
Well, then. I hope you enjoy the party.
Did you know beforehand?
-Had you agreed on it?
-No.
-Oh In-beom.
-What?
He came here to sell the work
he painted with the spirit's memories.
Have you seen him?
He's gone totally insane.
How could he think of such a thing?
I'll kill him if I get him.
Where could he be?
Right!
I saw Chairman Han
of Masan Investment with an appraiser.
Among the video clips we found
was a recording of his murder.
-How did you miss that?
-There were 113 clips.
How could I have checked all of them?
We have decided to give
-Kim Byeong-ho's wife,
-Hold on.
-What is it?
-Ms. Choi Ji-won,
all of her late husband's work
without anything in return.
Hey, Britium announced that they'll give
Choi Ji-won all of her husband's work.
What?
She'll be filthy rich now!
That means she'll finally
be able to have surgery.
If we sell this painting,
we can have the money!
You better not back out
and say that your heart is breaking.
Don't you worry.
Check out the townhouse you wanted.
The biggest one at that.
Yes!
Living a righteous life has paid off.
It's authentic, sir.
You want cash, right?
Correct.
Here you go.
TO MY BELOVED WIFE, JI-WON
Here.
What are you doing?
Gosh, this is crazy.
When did I write that?
Let go of it.
-This is your only chance to sell this.
-What should I do?
Ms. Hong.
I'm sorry to tell you this, sir,
but the painting
you just purchased is fake.
What are you talking about?
Didn't you purchase
one of Kim Byeong-ho's paintings?
That lunatic refused to sell it and left.
You're
finally home.
I'm sorry, Ji-won,
for taking so long.
YEAR 2021, 55, MULLAE-DONG
Is this it?
What's wrong with me?
It was so easy to paint last time.
You said it'd be easy
to paint another one.
You said it was a cakewalk.
So what
What is this? Do something, will you?
Gosh. This can't be happening.
Short padded jackets
are in trend these days.
That's perfect in length.
Just what I needed.
OH IN-BEOM
We won't be having another deal.
-What is it?
-Why is the habit already gone?
It hasn't been a week.
You're complaining about that?
If that's all, hang up. I'm busy.
Wait!
Is there any way to get it back?
Perhaps, a spell or
What's wrong with him?
-It's all sold out.
-It's sold out.
Great job. Congratulations to all.
I hope you wear them well.
Since it's sold out, this is it for today.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Oh In-beom, that little
What? What did she say?
She hung up.
Let's ask Ms. Choi to give it back.
I'm sure she will
once she hears our story.
-She's rich now.
-How could I tell her
that her husband's posthumous painting
is a fake that I drew?
-Gosh. I can't tell her that.
-Then what are we going to do?
Without that, I won't be
able to buy a townhouse!
DAEBAK REALTY
Hello, Ms. Joo!
Don't act like a thug.
You saw the money I wired you, huh?
You look beautiful today as always.
You guys make a lot of money.
Why don't you install a smart lock?
Hey.
Gosh. Is this
where you keep all of your case files?
Why do you ask?
Just because.
They are important only to me.
They won't get you money.
I don't care for what you said.
I might scam, but I don't steal.
Frauds and thieves are the same.
They are totally different.
-How are they different?
-Look them up online.
Both of you, stop.
-You're being childish.
-I agree.
That's enough.
Let's have a get-together.
We just closed a big case.
I won't be attending.
No.
Let's go.
This is like a feast!
I should send a photo to my darling.
Darling?
You have a girlfriend?
How?
What do you mean?
Raise your glasses.
Ms. Hong. This is our first get-together.
Please make a toast.
Is she a principal or what?
No need to make a big speech
in front of three people.
When we die, let's hope
we don't become vengeful spirits.
Cheers.
Ms. Hong. I have a question.
The previous part-time psychic
got injured.
Could something bad happen to me
-even after an exorcism?
-Yes.
Really?
Some even die.
Ms. Hong, stop joking.
He'll believe you. You'll scare him away.
Gosh. Why would you lie about that?
I don't lie.
We deal with spirits.
Anyone can get hurt anytime because
of a variable we didn't see coming.
Anyone?
Does that mean neither the client
nor the exorcist is safe?
I mean
What's up with so many questions?
I need to know these things.
We are partners.
We are not partners. The contract is over.
Over?
It was until you get 20 million won.
Don't you remember that?
This dinner was a farewell party,
not a welcome party.
Come on. Don't be so rash.
We made a good team.
Will you do an exorcism, shivering
in cold without this special psychic?
Don't be ridiculous.
I've been doing fine without you.
What about Chief Heo?
What?
You know what?
He was so happy that he was making money
with an honest job.
Do you want him to scam people again?
This is the first job I've ever had
I could tell my girlfriend about.
I'll work really hard.
Ms. Hong.
Don't cry.
They sound really desperate.
Let's work with them for one more month.
Not you too, Ms. Joo.
You're not the one
who has to find a new psychic.
Hyeong-sik's leg fracture
will heal in a month.
Let's work with them until then.
Just one more month.
-That's perfect.
-That's perfect.
Perfect.
Let me make a toast to celebrate
the extension of our contract.
Let's not be vengeful spirits
after we die.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Excuse me.
I want to put my house up for sale.
I'm sorry,
but we don't handle regular sales.
I was referred to you.
I heard that you help sell haunted houses.
Please have a seat.
Please tell us in detail.
Did someone die or did you
kill someone in your house recently?
-Pardon?
-Given the nature of our job,
we must ask this question.
I'm sure you'll understand.
I see.
From what I know,
nothing of the sort happened.
But a spirit keeps appearing.
My wife' having a hard time,
so I've decided to sell it.
One day, all the cabinet doors
under the sink and drawers were open.
That scared the wits out of me.
This house is new. It's nice.
If you sell the house
not long after buying it,
you'll end up paying taxes twice.
We're in our 60s
and this is the first house we've bought.
It's so upsetting.
Oh, right. Where are my manners?
I should serve you some drinks.
Let's go.
Already?
Are you leaving already?
Why don't you have some drinks
before you go?
That's so cold.
Your hand is freezing. What's going on?
-Is there a vengeful spirit?
-Why do you think I held your hand?
Some spirits
don't even know they're dead.
Green Villa completed sales
of its units three months ago.
Before that, it was a mulberry field
for a long time.
I saw an advertisement for that place.
Dohak Construction?
Isn't it the one
redeveloping this whole area?
No one around the client
has died recently.
That's why I looked more
into the building.
It was quite messy.
I thought our client
was the first one to move in,
but some people had lived there.
Since it was vacant for so long,
they bought it at 30 percent off
from a secondary agency, Mirae Design.
But Dohak Construction,
the original owner, claimed
it was illegal
and forcibly evicted the residents.
So if any of the victims died,
there's a good chance
they became vengeful spirits.
But if we check the residents' accounts
that received money, won't it be solved?
It's not as easy as you think.
Mirae Design says they sent money
to Dohak Construction,
and Dohak says they didn't receive it,
so they sued each other.
But President Hwang
of Mirae Design disappeared,
so the trial has been suspended.
It must be President Hwang that lied.
What about the victims
waiting for the trial to end?
What a scumbag.
How many are the victims?
There are 50 victims from 12 households.
We'll have to find out
if any of them have died.
A day will be enough, right?
-For me?
-What?
Didn't you find out about
the world-star couple with their shadows?
Of course. I can do it.
DOHAK CONSTRUCTION
To the redevelopment area.
We'll die one way or another.
All right!
Guys!
The chairman is coming today,
so let's try our best!
-Yes, boss!
-Yes, boss!

Let's get the restaurant first.
All right.
CHANGHWA RESTAURAN
I'm sorry.
Ji-cheol!
Who are you people?
Hey, it's me.
So you've been hiding
on my turf all along.
I'm not sure if that's bold or fearless.
Being bold is being fearless.
You're right.
Is this funny?
Why did you have to talk back to him?
I'm sorry.
What are we sorry for?
You should be sorry.
You scammed me.
When did I scam you?
I got rid of that ghost for you.
That ghost?
But you made up that ghost.
You should've paid the part-timer more.
The one who played the ghost
told me everything.
I told you we shouldn't use a part-timer.
She would never do that.
She definitely would.
-I knew it as soon as I saw her.
-Hey!
If you play around
in front of me from now on,
I'll kill you.
I'll return the 50 million
we got for that job.
-Give me your account number.
-What about interest?
How much is the interest?
Let me see.
The interest alone is 300 million won.
-That's robbery!
-Robbery?
Some people never accept this
without a beating.
Hey, help them accept it.
No, no.
-Ms. Hong!
-I won't buy it.
Get out of the way.
How dare you block my way to eat?
Hey!
What?
Those two
still have something to discuss with me.
-Ma'am!
-Go ahead.
We don't have anything
to discuss with you. Sir.
That punk.
The chairman is here.
Attention, greetings!
-Hello, Mr. Do!
-Hello, Mr. Do!
Hey.
Aren't you supposed
to be at the realty office?
Well
She is Hong, the CEO of Daebak Realty.
Please help me.
Some spirits
don't even know they're dead.
You want me
to look into your mother's last client?
Are you sure it was him?
How are you doing this for ten years?
I would have killed a few people already.
We should finish what we've started.
What is this?
Why are you singing a different tune?
Didn't you tell us
not to do anything before?
I'm preparing for the worst.
Since I suffered
because of some fraud recently.
Don't tell me you're talking about me.
Being a psychic must be really stressful.
And remember. Ms. Hong can't find it out.
I don't want to die.
-Found it.
-What are you doing in here?
