Sell Your Haunted House (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Hey, wait! Let's talk it out.
We can talk this out!
That's enough. You might kill him.
-You don't care if he dies?
-That hurts.
I think you're the one who'll die.
Please don't kill me. Please!
I'll give you money.
-Stay still!
-Please spare my life.
-I can't aim right.
-I'll give you money!
What's your deal?
You promised you'd give us
an apartment unit.
-What?
-I set the place on fire
and killed people.
Give me the apartment.
The apartment.
-Give me my apartment.
-What is this nonsense?
Give me my apartment!
What are you doing?
Go tend to the chairman now!
Get up.
What's going on?
Stop overreacting.
You didn't break anything.
You only pulled a ligament.
Hey.
-What happened?
-The spirit on Do Hak-seong
suddenly possessed your body,
then you began to attack him.
Thanks to you, the whole thing ended.
I see. So some vengeful spirits
linger around people?
But then,
I'd be surprised
if he had no vengeful spirits
on him after all that he has done.
You promised you'd give us
an apartment unit.
-What?
-I set the place on fire
and killed people.
-Give me the apartment.
-The apartment
Anyway, how did you end up
getting caught by them?
Man, if they didn't attack me
from behind, I would've
KING-SIZED DUMPLING
If you're about
to take out your knife, don't.
You're the one who'll be hurt by it.
My story is similar to yours.
I thought you were invincible,
but you're rather sloppy.
Wait, come to think of it,
I already saved your life twice.
Man, just saying thank you
is not going to cut it this time.
Don't you think you owe me a nice suit?
Quit working as a psychic.
You're firing me to save on that suit?
It doesn't cost that much.
You'll get hurt
if you're with me. So quit.
Our contract will expire soon anyway.
I'm not going to sell my place
until I help my mom leave.
And something like this
is bound to happen again.
Then,
why are you unable to help your mother?
I remember you saying it's difficult
because her spirit is special.
It's always difficult to send away
an exorcist's spirit.
Until now, I thought
I just needed to find a powerful psychic.
But I really have no idea now.
What was she like?
I mean your mother, Ms. Hong.
She was pleasant,
cool, and nice.
That's why she died. She was too nice.
She passed away because she was too nice?
What do you mean?
-Her last client was
-Help me.
an arsonist who killed seven people.
She passed away helping someone
who didn't deserve to be helped.
I'll never forgive them.
Maybe what Kim Tae-jin said is true.
That he always saw a ghost
near Daebak Realty.
Not you too!
I'm sorry, but
Shut it! Go and get me
all the information you can find
on everyone at Daebak Realty!
-Don't leave anyone out!
-Yes, sir.
I could've come home alone.
Get some rest. I'm leaving.
Ms. Joo.
I'd like to meet Mr. Jung.
Why, all of a sudden?
I need to know what exactly happened
to my mother and if I'm missing anything.
I think Mr. Jung might know.
Okay, I'll give him a call.
We can go see him.
No, I'll meet him alone.
Good night.
CRIMINAL RECORD
HONG JI-A
So she's the CEO.
She may not have gone to jail,
but it's like she has seven priors.
Attempted fraud and blackmail.
Birds of a feather flock together.
They're a scamming team.
Who is this lovely woman?
You startled me.
It's nothing.
Don't lie.
You're obviously abusing your power
on a background check
on a woman you're interested in.
Cut that nonsense.
That's ridiculous.
I'll get back to work.
Why did you kill them?
Because they'd hold me back.
Isn't it obvious?
Ji-a will visit you.
Please don't let her look into the case
from 20 years ago.
Okay.
That woman didn't hesitate
to kill her own kids
for her own sake.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
It's been a long time.
I barely recognized you.
It has.
I'd like to read the case file
from 20 years ago as well as the photos.
You're still just as direct.
But since your mother
wasn't a victim of a crime
and died of cardiac arrest,
her file has been discarded.
Why are you looking for something
that happened 20 years ago?
I recently remembered
something new from that night.
You were first
to arrive at the scene, right?
I was.
Could you tell me everything you remember?
Let's see. It's been quite a long time.
Nothing really stood out.
I just saw two adults and two kids
lying unconsciously.
It looked like any other realty office.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help.
A real estate agency
that specializes in haunted houses?
Yes, sir.
Also, Oh In-beom and Heo Ji-cheol
are frauds who fabricate hauntings.
Fabricate hauntings?
I knew it. Damn it.
How dare those brazen scumbags
mess with me?
And sir, it turns out that Oh In-beom
is Oh Seong-sik's nephew.
The arsonist of Yongnam Village
from 20 years ago.
Oh Seong-sik?
And the last place he went to
before he died is Daebak Realty.
What?
I really thought no one was there.
I'm telling you the truth! I am!
That spirit possessed my nephew!
I'm serious!
In-beom!
I should've died instead.
Please call the police.
Please call the police! Please!
I don't need any money or apartment.
Are you finally awake?
Sir.
You're hell-bent on letting everyone know,
aren't you?
You even asked for the police.
Why? To report me?
No, sir.
I'll never tell them
that you ordered me to do it.
I'm going to tell them I did it on my own
and pay for it.
Did someone talk you into this?
Did they say I'd give you more money
if you threatened me like this?
Threaten you? Not at all.
-No?
-I didn't tell a soul. I swear.
Please believe me!
I just can't bear the guilt.
I've taken many lives.
My goodness. I'm so softhearted.
Write that down.
THE FIRE AT YONGNAM VILLAGE
ON NOVEMBER 15 WAS MY DOING.
That's a written statement
that says you did it by yourself.
You need to give it to me
for me to believe you.
If you write that,
I'll still give you the apartment.
Really?
Okay. I'll do it right now.
THE FIRE AT YONGNAM VILLAGE
ON NOVEMBER 15 WAS MY DOING
Thank you, sir.
Don't worry about a thing, and rest up.
Dream about your new apartment.
I will. Thank you, sir.
Don't worry about it.
Sleep tight.
You promised you'd give us
an apartment unit.
-What?
-I set the place on fire
and killed people.
How did Oh In-beom know
about that?
Maybe he found the memorandum
that we had failed to find.
Read it after you're discharged.
The doctor said you needed to rest up.
MYSTERIOUS FIRE AT YONGNAM VILLAGE
KILLS 7 RESIDENTS
Goodness, sir. Let me help you.
-Thank you.
-Take it slowly.
In-beom, I'll be right back.
Her last client was
an arsonist who killed seven people.
My uncle would
never do such a thing.
Something's wrong.
ARSON SUSPECTED
AS THE CAUSE OF THE YONGNAM VILLAGE FIRE
I can't believe the Yongnam Village fire
happened 20 years ago.
Time flies.
Please tell me everything
that you remember.
To be honest, I can't believe
my uncle was an arsonist
and killed himself.
That's completely understandable.
We also suspected
Golden Construction at first
since they were determined
to redevelop the area.
It was also odd that Chairman Do Hak-seong
had visited Mr. Oh right before his death.
Did you just say "Do Hak-seong"?
CEREMONY FOR THE REDEVELOPMEN
OF GOLDEN APARTMEN
CEREMONY FOR THE REDEVELOPMEN
OF GOLDEN APARTMEN
Why would Ms. Joo meet
with Do Hak-seong's secretary?
You're actually back.
What kind of hello is that?
I expected you to quit
after what happened.
Ms. Hong would have a hard time
without her special psychic.
I shouldn't quit because of such a mishap.
A responsible fraud?
Were you at Dohak Construction
this afternoon?
I think I saw you there.
Judging by your reaction, I'm right.
Does Ms. Hong know?
No. She doesn't.
She also doesn't know
you're Oh Seong-sik's nephew.
I don't know why you approached us,
but keep your mouth shut
and leave once your contract ends.
You know who I am
but haven't told Ms. Hong.
You must have an ulterior motive.
It's chilly in here. Is it just me?
Hello.
Is this the real estate agency
that deals with haunted houses?
Well, the house belongs to my mother.
We want to sell it
because they say it's haunted.
Did you see the spirit yourself?
No. We don't live there.
But apparently, the son of the tenants
was possessed by it.
Gosh. There's no such thing.
He was sick to begin with.
All right. Let's go inside
and look at our new house.
Is that you, Jun-seo?
Jun-seo.
What are you doing in the dark?
Anyway, because of the rumor
that our house is haunted,
no one comes
to buy it even if we try to sell it.
And other realtors suggest
we lower the price by half.
You guys will help us sell it
at a market price, right?
Ms. Yoo Yeong-sun?
Yes?
Will you sell the house?
What? Yes, she will.
Why are you asking my mom?
The house belongs to her.
I must ask the owner
if she wants to sell it.
How could you put it like that?
Are you insinuating
that we're trying to take her house?
Mom, why won't you say anything?
Tell her you want to sell it.
I
Because you act like this,
she thinks we're taking advantage of you.
I want to sell it. I do.
Gosh.
Okay.
DAEBAK REALTY
Watch your head.
Hey. One second.
What?
Can she stay with you next month too?
What are you talking about?
We agreed to take turns every month.
Do-hyeon's on edge during the exam period.
No, I can't.
If I do that, my wife will kick me out.
Isn't she being so selfish?
She's such a terrible daughter-in-law.
And you're a good daughter?
You're just pretending to care
to get the inheritance.
Hey!
Then is the boy
who was possessed by the spirit
a psychic like me?
I'll have to check myself,
but it's highly likely.
I think the spirit was always there,
but its energy was too weak to be shown,
but it stated
to be seen after it met a psychic.
Hey. The house is haunted, right?
-There was a spirit, right?
-Yes.
My secretary will call you
to schedule an exorcism.
My boy is sick.
We moved here since living in a place
with good air might improve his health.
I should've checked more thoroughly.
Does he have a place to stay?
Until we find a replacement,
we'll stay with his aunt.
That's good. Let's go.
This is for you. You can keep it.
I went through
a lot of weird stuff like you.
But after wearing this necklace,
they stopped happening.
Consider it a shield
that protects your character in games.
So don't take off this necklace
no matter what.
Can you do that?
What are you doing?
How could you take off the necklace?
Have you no fear?
You know there's a vengeful spirit
in there. What if you get possessed?
You said that the spirit had weak energy.
Besides, you're right here with me.
I'm sure you'll help me.
What?
Think about that boy. He'd have kept
getting possessed without knowing why.
How could I just ignore it?
Not everyone born with the ability
becomes a psychic.
Usually, when boys like him
get girlfriends or date girls,
they become normal.
"Usually"?
What do you mean by that?
What What do you mean?
Tell me. What do you mean?
-Tell me.
-Shut your mouth and get in.
Come on.
This is a very old house.
At first, Ms. Yoo's family lived
in the house.
But since 50 years ago,
they've left the house vacant
or rented it out,
so it's had many tenants.
I have put together
a list of old tenants who have died
from the 1960s to now.
In 1979, an old man
who rented Ms. Yoo's house died
when he lost his footing at the reservoir.
And in 1993, after Ms. Yoo left
It's none of these people.
What?
Right, you saw their face.
What about you, Ms. Joo?
The police in the area are helping me,
but it'll take a while
since we don't know when exactly he died.
I'll meet some elderly people in the town
starting tomorrow.
Then I'll go meet Ms. Yoo Yeong-sun.
Where does she live?
She said she'd be
at her daughter's place this week.
You haven't lived in that house
for 50 years now.
Is there a reason?
I find it odd that you haven't live there
or sold it for 50 years.
And you were hesitant
about selling it the other day.
Many people keep their property
as an investment too.
You know,
I don't even know
how my father passed away.
The year I turned 20,
my father fell ill with a stroke.
Then he was diagnosed with dementia
after two years.
You've never showed up
since our father collapsed,
and you want to sell this house now?
I really think this business will hit big.
Do you know how much you lost trying
to run a business? Come to your senses!
Half of the share will be mine
once Dad passes.
I just want it in advance.
-It's not your money.
-He's still alive.
He doesn't even recognize me!
How is that any different from being dead?
Instead of keeping him at home,
you should get him into a nursing home.
Get out!
You're not my brother or family anymore.
Get out of here!
That night,
my father suddenly disappeared.
It probably wasn't easy
for him to even walk because his stroke.
He disappeared.
I'm sure Yeong-sik killed him
for his money.
Goodness, no matter how much
he was blinded by money,
he'd never kill his father.
He could do that and worse.
Even before graduated from high school,
he sold off his late mother's jewelry
to start a business.
Then did the police not suspect him?
They did.
But his father's body wasn't found,
and there was no evidence.
What could they do?
-So there was no evidence.
-He must've felt guilty.
He ran off as soon as he got released,
and has never come back.
If that's not the proof,
what is? Don't you think?
I think that might be the case.
Where did you bury him?
Just tell me where his body is.
-Tell me!
-Stop it. How would I know?
Yeong-sik, please.
We need to give him a funeral.
How could you
Yeong-sik!
Since that day,
I haven't been able to bring myself
to live in that house or sold it.
This is a photo I took
at my graduation ceremony.
I always keep it with me.
My other albums are at my son's place.
What did your father like?
He had a sweet tooth.
He loved chocolate,
candies, and sweet snacks.
He'd buy those treats
without my mom knowing.
That's an expensive apartment.
But why does it
look like a jail, not a home?
YOO CHEOL-GU
Why are you taking so much sugar?
Because I need it.
My gosh.
You're not the one who has to carry it.
BROWN SUGAR
-I think you have the wrong bait.
-Shut it.
It's here. The ants are here.
-You called ants here.
-And cockroaches.
Where? My gosh!
That was so mean!
Take your necklace off.
-What's he doing?
-I think he came back to himself.
You can just leave it.
Dad, let me draw you a bath.
You look great, Dad.
Thank you, ma'am.
I appreciate it.
He doesn't even recognize me!
You should get him into a nursing home.
Get out!
You're not my brother or family anymore.
Get out of here!
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I just felt so bad
for Yeong-sun. That's all.
I'm sorry, Dad.
You look great, Dad.
In-beom.
In-beom, where are you going?
In-beom.
RESTRICTED ACCESS
This is it.
-What do you mean?
-He threw himself down the well.
He struggled to walk
all the way here from his house
and killed himself.
So?
Are you going to whine and tell me
that Ms. Yoo should know the truth?
Do you think you're God?
Reading a vengeful spirit's
memories doesn't
give you the right
to meddle in people's lives.
-I'm not trying to be God.
-Then?
Remember what she told us?
She doesn't even know
how her father passed away.
I also don't know
how my uncle passed away.
You heartless brat.
I know how painful it feels not to know
why someone you love had to die,
and to have to force yourself
to accept it and move on.
I do.
If I were her, I'd want to know the truth
no matter how horrible it may be.
DAEBAK REALTY
You once asked me
what kind of person I was.
When I first started this job,
I was just like you.
I thought it was right to tell them
the truth I had witnessed.
That it'd relieve
the vengeful spirits' grudges.
However
What did you just say?
My son killed my wife?
He's only in middle school.
How could you make up such a thing
for money?
I will sue you for fraud!
-Goodness.
-Excuse me.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Goodness. He killed his son
then committed suicide.
Why would he kill his son as well?
-What did that boy do so wrong?
-Tell me about it.
That's when I promised myself
not to interfere in their lives
no matter what I learned
during the exorcisms.
Just because you mean well
doesn't mean it ends well.
In fact,
most of the time it ends badly.
Then,
I'd like to at least tell her
where his body is.
We can do that much, right?
They must've found the body by now.
Does it bother you?
I can't help but see myself
in Ms. Yoo Yeong-sun.
I've wasted the past 20 years of my life
because I didn't know the truth.
Is it right to let her keep
believing something that's not true?
At times, the truth is more painful.
KSCI
I had no idea you were so close.
You must've been so cold.
You must've been so cold.
How did you take
such good care of the house?
It's rare to find
such an old but beautiful house.
This is a perfect place to raise children
since it's surrounded by nature.
What? Oh In-beom?
What are you doing here?
We Daebak Realty try our best to make sure
our houses are always
in tip-top condition.
I'm so grateful.
In-beom.
Hey, snap out of it.
Ms. Hong, I'll give them a house tour.
Sure.
-Shall we?
-No.
I'll wait here.
-Feel free to look around.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Okay.
This way.
The trees have grown so much.
I heard my father planted them
the year I was born.
Nothing has changed.
Only I have aged.
Out here, I'd make snowmen in winter
and have watermelon in summer.
This house holds
so many fond memories.
Don't you want to look
for your brother?
If you want, we can help you find him.
My brother died 50 years ago.
Don't you just love how it was renovated?
You can move in right away.
Did you look around the house thoroughly?
Yes. I will talk to my husband
one more time and call you.
Sure. Take your time making your decision.
-Okay.
-Shall we get going?
No. I'm going to stay here for a bit more.
Today might be my last day here.
-Okay. I will call you soon.
-Okay.
You're still here.
Your brother didn't kill your father.
Pardon? What are you
talking about all of a sudden?
I'm telling you the truth which we came
across while exorcising this house.
Your father
took his own life.
Why are you telling me such a lie?
I'm not lying.
That's the last memory your father
held onto down to his last moment.
With that memory,
we were able to find his body.
Your brother
wasn't after the inheritance.
He just wasn't good at expressing himself.
He felt so bad for you
going through the trouble.
And your father knew
how truly your brother felt.
The fact that he was a burden
on his children
caused him more pain than his illness.
So when he was lucid,
he decided to end his own life.
Even until the last moment,
all he ever wanted
was for you two to be happy.
If he knew that
you guys would be strangers for 50 years,
he would not have
made that decision.
Ma'am.
I see.
Thank you for telling me.
Ma'am!
I am sorry.
You are sorry? That's it?
What if my mom dies?
What will you do then?
Darn it.
Mom. Wake up!
Mom
Mom. Wake up.
Are you okay?
Why did you do that?
That wasn't like you.
I'm the troublemaker between us.
-Hey.
-He's here.
Sir.
This is Ms. Hong Ji-a,
the CEO of Daebak Realty.
I see.
Hello. I'm Yoo Yeong-sik.
The visiting hours are over, sir.
Yeong-sik.
Yeong-sun. Do you recognize me?
Now that you are old,
you look just like Dad.
I came too late, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
No. Thank you for coming.
And I'm so sorry.
I was young
and didn't know any better then.
I only made things worse for you.
Thank you. Thank you for coming to see me.
DAEBAK REALTY
I must have scared you dearly.
No.
Thank you so much
for making a great recovery.
Right.
That day,
I never got to thank you
before I collapsed.
I am sorry about that.
I'd be lying if I told you
that I wasn't shocked
when I heard what you said.
But now that I am a mother and older,
I can understand why my father
made that decision.
Thank you.
Thank you for not letting me
resent my brother until I die.
I'm sorry to do this to you,
but I don't think I can sell the house.
I want to spend my remaining time
in the house
where I have so many
childhood memories.
I'm sure your father will be very happy.
Okay.
Lighten up. Everything ended well.
By the way, why did you really do it?
You told me never to get involved in their
lives after exorcisms.
Why did you
suddenly tell Ms. Yoo the truth?
Your nosy quality
must have rubbed off on me.
So you're giving me all the credit.
Yes. You deserve all the credit.
That was unexpected.
Are you trying to make my heart flutter?
No. Right after you thanked me
the other day,
you told me to go into the water.
What's the catch?
What will you make me do now?
There's no catch.
I've thought about it.
Helping her find out the truth
about her late father was nice.
But helping Ms. Yoo reconcile
with her brother made me happier.
She'll be able to live
without resentment now.
-We don't do exorcisms
-We don't do exorcisms
-just for vengeful spirits,
-just for vengeful spirits,
but also for the people left behind.
They must go on with their lives.
Yes. I was just about to say that.
That's a nice lesson.
She was a good exorcist.
My mother used to say that all the time
when I was young.
Back then, I didn't understand
what she meant by that.
Are you sure you can live here
all by yourself?
Goodness. I still got
a few good years left in me!
Living alone would be great.
It'll be very relaxing.
You should come by often.
Okay.
-You got it, Yeong-sun.
-Okay.
DAEBAK REALTY
WITHDRAWN
Forget about hitting the jackpot.
We'll go broke.
Two cases have been canceled in a row.
Some days are just bad days.
RECORD OF EXORCISM: 2021
RECORD OF EXORCISM: 1980
RECORD OF EXORCISM: 1978
Only the record from 1979 is missing.
What?
What's going on?
Darn it.
RECORD OF EXORCISM: 1979
At times,
the truth is more painful.
Did you give it a thought?
I told you to quit working as a psychic.
Aren't you the one
who'd miss having me around?
Do you know
that your theme today is very odd?
-You seemed cute, that's all.
-Shut up.
-Hold me.
-Do not move.
-It's right behind you.
-Will you be alright?
I don't think Ji-a will give up easily.
If she finds out anything
I won't let that happen.
I'm the only one who looks
into the Record of Exorcism.
One of my grandmother's
Records of Exorcism is gone.
Did you take it?
