Sell Your Haunted House (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

1
You're back. Did you enjoy the macaroons?
In-beom. Was the kid from 20 years ago
you?
Was it you?
Yes.
Tell me. What happened here that day?
Tell me what happened
and why my mom had to die.
-Tell me!
-How would I know?
I'm here to find that out too.
What?
To find out what your mother did
to make my uncle
die like that.
Are you suggesting
that Oh Seong-sik died because of my mom?
He was the one who attacked her that day.
Your uncle
took his own life
out of guilt after murdering people.
Watch what you say.
Do you want me to tell you
why Oh Seong-sik died?
Because you're a psychic.
If it hadn't been for you,
your uncle and my mother
would be alive.
No one would've died.
The one who killed my mother is
you.
That's enough, you two.
Get out.
I never want to see you again.
Hey, In-beom.
Hey.
DAEBAK REALTY
The one who killed my mother is you.
Did you already know about it?
I only found out a few hours ago.
I received a call from Mr. Jung
and was so shocked.
Maybe he tried to con us
using what happened back then.
He was the first person.
It must've been tough. I've only done it
once, and it's already unbearable.
But doing this alone for ten years?
The first person who could truly empathize
with this painful ordeal
I've been going through.
The mere thought of knowing
that I wasn't alone in this.
It gave me a great sense of comfort.
I even felt sorry for him.
Bastard.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I had no idea
he was the reason you'd died.
I worked with him
and even thought
that he might be a decent guy.
I'm sorry I'm such a stupid daughter.
Now,
I have no idea
what I should do.
Uncle.
I don't know anything anymore.
Were you truly an evil person?
Or
was I the root
of everything?
Don't you dare run away!
OH SEONG-SIK'S GRAVE
Have you been well?
What have you gotten yourself into?
What are you talking about?
Some men came and turned this place
upside down looking for something.
Looking for what?
And some woman came yesterday.
OH IN-BEOM
LUNCHBOX
Welcome.
Here's your food. I had some leftover
fried shrimp, so I put them in as well.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Aren't you getting in?
Oh, no. It's going up.
-Darn it.
-Hello.
Oh, you're from Unit 602.
You're home late.
Have you found a replacement yet?
We only recently put it up for rent.
Can you just give me back my deposit?
I'm so terrified.
-Last night
-Talking about ghosts again?
You're a grown woman.
Why are you so scared of them?
But someone died there.
I'm not the one who killed them.
If you're that terrified, come home early.
You always stay out late.
Don't blame the house.
Better yet,
how about you find a replacement tenant?
Really?
Then I'll ask my acquaintance.
Is that okay?
Open the door!
Help me!
Please open the door.
Help me.
Hey, aren't you getting in?
Please open the door.
Please open the door.
Help me! Please open the door!
Please open the door!
Hey!
What's going on? Wake up!
Hello? Is this 911?
DAEBAK REALTY
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
In-beom, where are you? Call me.
Oh, my God!
-What do you want?
-Well
Did In-beom and Ms. Hong go on a trip?
What?
It's just that I haven't seen them lately.
Are they dating?
Gosh. Don't be absurd.
What?
Daebak Realty 24-1.
Something's going on between them.
I feel the chill. It feels like
I've been stabbed with a knife.
Mom?
We have deliveries backed up.
Deliveries? Right, I should go.
I'm going now.
Oh, here she is.
Hey.
Like you asked,
I've been keeping an eye on her.
But she hasn't been doing anything.
She didn't order any food yesterday.
I'll go check on her. You can go now.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
Ms. Hong!
Hong Ji-a!
Where did she go?
Ms. Hong?
-You startled me.
-Oh, my.
When did you get here?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
You called?
-My phone died.
-How long have you been doing this?
What time is it now?
Did you even eat?
I thought you weren't hungry.
I didn't eat anything for two days.
How can I not be?
-I've been thinking.
-Stop thinking.
I thought I'd be able to hear
what happened that day
once I found that boy.
But he knows less than me.
No matter how much I think about this,
books are the way to go.
"Knowledge is power."
They say this for a reason.
So? Have you found anything?
There are way too many.
Too many Records of Exorcism
and too many ancient texts.
What's worse, they were
all written in the Chinese characters,
not in the Korean alphabet.
Well, they're mixed. So I felt like
I could make sense of it, but no.
Gosh. This is just torture. Seriously.
Why do you think my phone died?
I used up all my battery,
looking up the Chinese letters.
I looked and looked, but I couldn't
find anything about an egg ghost.
Was it called differently in the past?
Please eat.
I'll find another psychic for you.
I'll get going.
Make sure to keep your phone on.
I said, I got it.
Stop reminding me.
Off you go.
-Hello.
-Hi.
I'm going on my first date.
Can you recommend me a flower?
Gosh.
Hello.
You look prettier in real life.
It's our first date in person.
So I prepared a flower
that resembles your beauty.
Gosh. That was so cheesy. Goodness.
No.
Hello. I'm Heo Ji-cheol.
Gosh.
What should I say to her? This is
driving me crazy. What should I say?
Ji-cheol?
Hello.
They went like, "Chief Heo."
They were trying to stop me.
"No, Chief Heo."
And they were laughing like this.
When I was saying hello,
he just went like this.
So I went like this.
After that, no one laughed!
And then, it got all quiet.
Is my story boring you?
No.
Should we get going then?
Ji-cheol.
You said you work
at a real estate agency, right?
Yes.
DAEBAK REALTY
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Do you guys specialize
in handling haunted houses?
Yes, we do. Please come in.
They all seem to know
exactly when we open.
Go in.
You've seen the ghost yourself?
Yes. A month ago, someone was murdered
in the building I live in now.
The spirit of the deceased
keeps showing up and torturing me.
Did you know the deceased?
No.
I've only seen her drunk a few times.
That's it.
Darn it.
Why won't this open?
Is it broken?
What? She's drunk.
Finally.
What? Who are you?
You came to the wrong unit.
No. This is my place.
I live in Unit 702.
This is Unit 602.
Oh, my. Goodness. I must be losing it.
I'm sorry.
You see, I live upstairs in Unit 702.
Are you in college?
She was pretty famous in the building.
Her hairstyle and outfits
always stood out.
People saw guys carrying her home
because she was drunk.
Did you kill her?
Excuse me?
If you saw her only a few times,
why would she haunt you?
She's asking
if you know anything about the murder.
I was
the last person to see her.
Su-jeong, are you sure you didn't see
the guy's face in the elevator?
Or did you notice anything unusual?
No. He was wearing a mask and a cap.
I really thought they knew each other.
This is frustrating.
Please help me. I have no place to go.
I can't stay at my friend's forever.
We must check if the house is
indeed haunted first, so be patient.
It really is.
I've seen the ghost several times.
You might be mistaken.
You didn't tell them
I referred you to them, right?
No.
But she can't get rid
of the spirit right away.
She must check first.
I see.
That's called a preliminary inspection.
She must check
if there's a vengeful spirit there.
And when she does that,
she usually takes on the case.
-Really?
-I'm telling you.
-You trust me, right?
-Yes.
But why can't I tell them
that you referred me to them?
You said you were the co-CEO.
Well
I don't know how to explain this to you.
You know Mr. Oh I mean, Chief Oh, right?
Chief Oh In-beom.
He caused a huge mess at work.
So they're on edge.
I see.
Now, have some food. You look so haggard.
Thank you.
Grandma,
why did Uncle
commit suicide?
That's not true! He didn't kill himself.
You might believe so
because you are his mother,
but the world thinks otherwise.
The police already closed the case.
-And there's also evidence.
-Evidence?
This is proof.
Why would
my kind-hearted son kill himself?
My gosh.
MILITARY MAIL
The fire that broke out
in Yongnam Village on November 15
was set by me.
Due to sudden redevelopment,
I was about to get kicked out onto the
streets without reasonable compensation.
And I couldn't stand the thought of it.
So I did something
I shouldn't have while I was drunk.
I wish to confess everything I did
and pay for it.
I'm so sorry.
She was right.
Ms. Hong's mother passed away
because of my uncle and me.
Where are you going?
I have to go.
There's something I need to do.
Bye.
Is it the best you can do?
Hey! How many times do I have to tell you?
Do you think I'm playing around?
Do you want to see me get mad?
You haven't found him with that many guys?
Jeong-pil runs an employment agency.
Contact him too.
Old habits never die. That thug.
Write this down.
Name, Yang Chang-hwa. Age, 32.
He left home ten years ago,
and she lost touch with him.
He's the son
of the lady who's helping me now.
Hey! Did you forget
who I am? Find him now.
What?
That thug's returning the favor?
Since tenant Lee Hyeon-ju was killed in
the underground parking lot a month ago,
a vengeful spirit's
been seen in this building.
It's unfortunate
because she made a police report
that she saw
a suspicious man in the building
and complained
about the building security,
-but they all ignored it.
-Has the culprit been caught?
The security camera near the elevator
is the only camera that caught him.
But it only got the top of his head.
He changed his target during the act.
Sorry?
One second.
You're right.
Do you think she thought
she died in Bae Su-jeong's place?
-But why did she hop back in?
-I'll go check the place.
-We need to talk.
-I have nothing to say.
DAEBAK REALTY
We would've caught the culprit already
if the CCTV worked that day.
It's probably someone
who knows this building very well.
He knew this camera was broken.
A person died because
they tried to save the repair cost.
-Thank you.
-Thank you. Goodbye.
-Sir.
-Yes?
-May we put up some wanted posters?
-Yes, go ahead.
I guess kids keep taking it off.
-Goodness, are you all right?
-I recently hurt my shoulder a little.
Let me get it.
Goodness, thank you.
So you haven't caught the culprit yet?
Goodness. What we really need is a lead,
but there's a rumor
of ghost sightings instead.
I heard about that too.
Goodbye, then.
-All right. Thank you.
-Sure.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
It's unfair?
Do you resent her?
But you can't turn back time.
Forget about it.
You don't belong here anymore.
You're done, right?
I saw the vengeful spirit.
Please call Hyeong-sik.
She was just talking to a ghost, right?
Is that what it looked like to you?
In my eyes,
she was talking nonsense to the air.
Look at my goosebumps. This is real.
LAND, PRIVATE PROPERTIES,
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, REN
What do you have to tell me?
On the day I first came here,
I remembered something
I had forgotten all my life,
the memories I have of this place.
Die!
Uncle.
I'd lived my life
without any idea
why my uncle had to die so suddenly.
But it felt like I finally had a lead.
I thought everything would become clear
once I found out
what exactly happened here
that night 20 years ago.
Hey! Are you okay?
-Gosh! You're bleeding?
-Aren't you Jeong-hun?
-Why am I here?
-Are you crazy? Did you do that?
You punk.
How could you hit him with a rock?
Gosh, look at him.
Grandma.
OUR HOUSES MAY BE DEPRIVED, BUT NOT US!
Uncle, I really
I know.
It's okay.
I know very well
that you didn't do that, In-beom.
I believe you.
He was the only person who was on my side.
I must've wanted to trust him
as he trusted me.
Perhaps, that was why
I couldn't accept the fact
that he had taken so many lives
and committed suicide.
Is that all? Did you come to explain that?
I wanted to sincerely apologize.
Had we never come here that day,
your mother would've died then.
I'm truly sorry.
I'm also sorry
for deceiving you.
Okay.
Are you done with your uncle's death?
No.
There are still too many
unanswered questions.
Then what will you do?
I'll have to think about that.
But one thing for sure is that
I can no longer stay at Daebak Realty.
Right.
Does this mean
we'll continue to scam people?
Let's look for something legitimate to do.
We should also move out.
No! We're not moving.
-Why not?
-Su-jeong is Ms. Hong's client right now.
What?
Mr. Han.
Thanks to your help
in the Bangso-dong's redevelopment,
I truly feel so reassured.
I will do my best
to make your future rosy, sir.
I'm not here to be flattered by you.
-Sorry?
-I heard
there are still many residents
refusing to move out.
Oh, that?
There aren't that many anymore.
It'll all get sorted out soon.
-Don't worry.
-What if a new mayor is elected?
The approval for the redevelopment plan
could always be revoked.
I don't want to suffer
because of your mistakes.
Get this over with before the election.
In the past, you'd get lucky
and a big fire would break out
in these redevelopment cases.
I guess your luck has run out.
DAEBAK REALTY
LEE HYEON-JU
The parking lot
will be blocked off, right?
Yes, I've already talked
with the landlord.
When is In-beom arriving?
You mean Hyeong-sik?
He should be here soon.
-Hello.
-Hey.
Hyeong-sik!
Likewise.
In-beom, get the salt
Sorry?
Make sure you pack plenty of salt.
This vengeful spirit won't be easy.
Okay.
Hey. I'm home.
Don't be sorry.
Your parents came unexpectedly.
I understand.
Thank you for letting me
stay there until now.
Okay. Good luck with your studies.
Hello?
A-yeong.
Hello?
Now.
Sorry for the long wait.
That wench got in my way that night,
so I couldn't come to you.
Finally, it's just the two of us here.
Damn it!
What?
Why
Stop it now.
Don't move!
Drop your dagger and get up.
I don't have time for that.
Hey.
Who are you to come
between me and Su-jeong?
Drop it and get on your feet.
Next one is a live bullet.
-Hey. Are you okay?
-What?
We're the police.
Hey, get up!
-My goodness.
-I'm not going. Let go!
Gosh.
Trespass? That's a misunderstanding.
I'm really innocent.
Then why were you there?
I went there to see my Su-jeong.
"My Su-jeong"?
What about you? Why did you go there?
Bae Su-jeong is my client.
Are you talking about exorcism?
Ms. Bae, is she telling the truth?
Of course, she should be here too.
That's the guy.
Pardon?
What did you say?
The guy
who killed the lady from Unit 702
in the parking lot.
He's the guy.
Are you telling me
that he's the culprit
of the parking lot murder case?
Last time, you said you couldn't
see his face because of the mask and cap.
When you questioned me,
I wasn't sure if it was him.
But I am certain now.
Why are you doing this to me?
Sit down!
-Did I upset you in any way?
-Sit. Sit down.
Let's separate
the victim and the assailant first.
"Assailant"?
I'm really innocent.
Wait outside.
Don't worry. I'm going to wait right
by the door until the questioning is over.
I mean, why would I ever harm Su-jeong?
You must've been close to Ms. Bae.
Actually, we are dating.
What?
She told me her passcode
so I could enter when I wanted to.
I never told him my passcode.
What?
Su-jeong comes to my restaurant
practically every day.
Naturally, we became close.
-I see.
-I treated her like my sister.
And she treated me like her brother.
But aren't you married?
Right.
So I went there today
to break up with her.
But Su-jeong couldn't accept it.
It's all my fault.
I understand why she's upset.
That's ridiculous.
A real estate agency
that performs exorcisms.
Okay. Let's sum it up.
With Ms. Bae's request,
you went to send off the spirit
at the parking lot.
So you burned the incense,
scattered some salt,
entered Ms. Bae's house, and made a mess.
You did all of these
to get rid of the spirit?
Fine. Did you get rid of the spirit?
Psychics can't remember what happens
while they're possessed.
Do you think this is a joke?
Answer my questions!
-Do your job right.
-What?
If you watched the elevator security
footage of the day of the murder,
you must've figured out that Bae Su-jeong
was the culprit's initial target.
But Lee Hyeon-ju who got off
the elevator got on the elevator again.
When his plan went south,
he changed his target.
He got extremely mad at Lee Hyeon-ju
for messing up the dream
he'd had for a very long time.
So he murdered her.
At the blind spot he found beforehand.
Wait! No!
Let go.
But Lee Hyeon-ju
didn't make it easy for him.
Please
There was a struggle.
And the culprit's shoulder got dislocated.
And the spirit told you all that?
You have a wild imagination.
You don't have to believe
what the spirit said.
But you must believe
what I am telling you.
Not every stalker becomes a murderer.
I can't accuse someone of murder
just based on suspicions.
That's not how investigation works. Okay?
What you said might be all true,
but I must follow a proper protocol.
What's this?
The knife the culprit
used to stab the victim.
JUNGBU POLICE STATION
Su-jeong, are you all right?
Do you know each other?
She's his girlfriend.
I only found out when Chief Heo called.
I thought you wouldn't do it
if I asked you to.
I'm sorry.
Let's go, Su-jeong.
Why did they release him?
He broke and entered,
but this was his first offense,
-and there was no damage.
-Aren't first offenses also crimes?
How much more does she have to suffer?
Let's go.
Ji-a.
"Ji-a"?
Will it be okay to let Ma Gwang-tae go?
What else could we do?
When you saw
the footage from the elevator,
you also said it seemed
Lee Hyeon-ju died instead of Bae Su-jeong.
And if Ma Gwang-tae is
really Bae Su-jeong's stalker,
it makes perfect sense.
But there's no evidence.
We have Ms. Hong's statement.
She heard it from a ghost.
How can we use that?
This is driving me crazy too.
How did it go?
Su-jeong's so shocked
that she won't even look at me.
It's all because of that bastard.
What about the exorcism?
Is Ms. Hong all right? Is she hurt?
She's fine, of course.
-But Su-jeong is really
-It must've been freezing without me.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
Just go work as her psychic again
instead of pestering me!
I'm already upset
with what happened to Su-jeong.
DAEBAK REALTY
Why won't you read my messages?
You're making me worried.
It'd be okay to pop in and see her.
Right?
No, I shouldn't.
CHANGHWA RESTAURAN
You're still worried about Ms. Hong,
aren't you?
No, I'm not. I came out to get some air.
What are you so worried about?
She looked completely fine to me.
The victim was brutally murdered.
It's unbearable
when you get memories like that.
Don't you remember
what happened after that water ghost?
Yes, right. I remember.
I was really scared for you that time.
I was scared too.
Scared I might kill that murderer.
Hey, Ms. Hong.
Is Su-jeong
Is she still angry at you?
No, that's the aftereffect
of a ghost's possession.

WE'RE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Ms. Hong.
Ms. Hong.
What are you two doing here?
I can explain. What happened is
Haven't you heard? Ms. Hong and I made up.
-Did she grow on you overnight?
-In-beom, get ready and come out.
Did she ask you out on a date?
You're going to perform an exorcism
on Oh Seong-sik's spirit?
Are you sure you won't give up?
Is it because Oh Seong-sik
is In-beom's uncle?
You wanted to know the truth
no matter how horrible it is, right?
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
We were both after the same thing.
Live an ordinary life like you used to.
Why won't you listen?
Do you want to die like that brat?
Was there something
I didn't know back then as well?
There is a karmic connection
to everything.
