My Demon (2023) s01e10 Episode Script

1
THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL,
AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY
TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES,
ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS
Are you God?
That's one name I have.
Some call me the universe.
Others call me time.
You know what they say.
"God is everywhere and in everything."
I believe you,
so give me back
my powers.
I can't do that.
-What?
-Even though I gave you the powers,
I didn't take them away from you.
Did this happen
because I haven't made a new deal?
Can I get my powers back
if I make one right now?
Deals won't change anything.
Since the powers are in the wrong body,
it's only natural for them to fade
until they're completely gone.
Then I'll…
That's right.
You're dying as we speak.
Then how can I get my powers back?
There must be a way.
It's simple.
You can get your powers back
once the woman dies.
Once the current owner is gone,
the tattoo will return
to its original owner.
What if she doesn't die?
If she stays alive until the full moon,
the tattoo will disappear.
And you'll cease to exist
through spontaneous combustion.
You went to such great lengths
to keep her alive so far,
but she must die
for you to get your powers back.
What's the point of all this?
Why are you doing this to us?
I don't know everything
just because I'm God.
The world works
in surprisingly imperfect ways.
All you do is make your choice,
and the roulette wheel spins on its own.
That's how the world works.
What kind of an irresponsible--
If someone is to be held responsible,
it'd be you, not me.
I may have set the basic rules,
but humans freely make choices
rather than following those rules,
creating countless anomalies.
You humans love to
blame fate for everything,
but fate is nothing more than
a web woven by a myriad of choices
of your making.
He's a demon.
Also known as the devil.
He brings misfortune upon humans
and leads them to hell.
That's just ridiculous.
I know it's hard to believe.
But you must have figured out
that he's no ordinary human.
That's why you asked me
about his identity.
Still, how could he be the devil?
Are you saying
Do-hee knows his identity
but still trusts him so completely?
That's not like her at all.
A demon's specialty
is stirring up human desires
and bewitching them,
thereby captivating their hearts.
That's how a demon operates.
Director Jeong is always
holding Do Do-hee by the wrist.
Have you noticed that?
Yes.
A demon has special powers.
They're dangerous and powerful.
And they've transferred
to Do Do-hee's wrist.
The tattoo.
That's right. The tattoo.
That's the source of his powers.
That's why he needs Do Do-hee.
To be more precise,
he needs the tattoo on her wrist.
Is there no other way?
A way that both of us can live?
Unfortunately,
there isn't.
At the full moon,
the roulette wheel will come to a stop,
and the game will end one way or another.
EPISODE 10
BREAKING THROUGH THE SHELL
The tattoo.
That's the source of his powers.
That's why he needs Do Do-hee.
He needs the tattoo on her wrist.
What do you get
from your relationship with Do-hee?
I don't see how you'd benefit
from being her husband and bodyguard.
I need her.

What are you looking for?
Now that the culprit is dead,
it's all over, isn't it?
Come in.
This arrived from Do Do-hee
earlier this afternoon.
RENUNCIATION OF INHERITANCE
Luckily, she kept her promise.
Congratulations, honey.
What do you mean, congratulations?
Everything was mine by right,
and I only reclaimed it.
Absolutely.
You went through so much.
RENUNCIATION OF INHERITANCE
BENEFICIARY: DO DO-HEE
MIRAE ELECTRONICS' FIRST OFFICIAL
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDEN
YEAR 2006
So it's you.
Mother's way out.
You'll be living here from now on.
Think of us as your family now.
That's what everyone says at first.
Until they run out of money.
I'm not exactly promising to adore you…
or shower you with affection.
And I never expected that from you.
Mother.
There you are.
You're Do-hee, right?
Welcome.

WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU?
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE BAILING OU
You can get your powers back
once the woman dies.
What if she doesn't die?
The tattoo will disappear.
And you'll cease to exist
through spontaneous combustion.
What's all this?
Ta-da.
I made a cake.
But Halloween has already passed.
When is your birthday?
I don't have one.
You seemed envious of Christmas,
so I wanted to practice
making a birthday cake for you.
What should I write on the cake?
"Merry Demon"?
That sounds weird.
I'll just write your name.
GU-WON
I'm charging up.
Is something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong.
Are you sure?
You took off so abruptly.
Where did you go?
I went to the theater.
You wouldn't believe
how much Mr. Park was whining.
Was it something serious?
It's all been sorted out.
Anyhow,
I think cakes should be made by experts.
We can always buy a cake,
so just hang out with me.
But we have an expert here.
Me.
Do Do-hee, the CEO of Mirae F&B.
If I'm not an expert, I don't know who is.
Why do you look at me with such distrust?
Enjoy the expertly prepared cake.
So? Can you feel the expertise?
No?
-It tastes amazing.
-Really?
I can totally tell
it was made by an expert.
See? I told you.
Let me have a taste.
No, don't!
It'd be a shame to eat this masterpiece.
Let's just appreciate it
by looking at it like this.
Look, appreciate it.
It's that good?
It's beyond your imagination.
Really?
Then it'd be a shame to eat it.
It's so salty!
Oh no.
But I…
I thought I was adding sugar,
but it must've been salt.
That's why it tastes so good.
-You're lying.
-I mean it.
You could even sell it.
Launch it as your company's new product.
Salted rolls are all the rage now.
-Salted rolls?
-Yes.
-Do you like them?
-I do.
Great. Then this won't go to waste.
Have some salted cake.
Here comes the salt.
I had dinner, so I'm full.
But it's really tasty.
-Have some. Try the cookie.
-No, thanks.
I love the smell of the night.
Are you okay with heights now?
I'm not sure.
But…
looking at your face
chases away all my fears.
Maybe because you're my guardian.
If the world were to end tomorrow,
what would you do?
Why would the world end?
By some random twist of fate, I suppose.
A twist of fate?
Then I guess there's nothing
I could do about it.
That's terrible.
I just have to watch the world end?
In that case,
I'd just…
stay home with you all day
and laze around.
I'd sleep in
and make silly jokes with you.
I'd spend the day in peace
as if it were to continue forever.
That'd be the best thing I could do
so as not to be played by fate.
And?
-And?
-Yes.
We could walk around together all day.
The world may end the next day,
but we'll etch it into our memories.
And?
And?
The day can't be that long.
Is there anything you want to do
by yourself?
No.
I want to spend my last day with you.
Let's stay up all night tonight.
Why?
I just feel like
it'd be a waste if we slept tonight.
No. I have work tomorrow.
Let tomorrow take care of itself.
Tonight,
you should have fun until morning breaks.
-What are you doing?
-It's the devil's temptation.
All right.
I'm really good at staying up all night.
I get that you're good at everything,
-but you're even good at that?
-I am.
-Are you sure?
-Yes.
I thought looking at my face
chases away all your fears?
I guess a guardian is no use
against horror movies.
Does that really scare you?
What scares you then?
Then again,
a demon wouldn't be
scared of those things.
How boring to the very end.
So much for being good at
staying up all night.
What scares me…
is you disappearing…
from this world.
What scares me the most…
is a world without you.
Jeong Gu-won.
Don't go.
Stay by my side.
I can't stay by your side anymore.
Why not?
I'm going away.
To a faraway place…
that you can't reach.
I'll come find you.
I'll…
never give you up.
A full moon.
Set.
Flush!
That's amazing.
Hi there.
This is no time for gambling.
No wonder the world is a mess.
I love choices.
It's a joy to watch how my choices
lead to unexpected outcomes.
I'll have my usual. Make it two.
-Understood, ma'am.
-I'll have a glass of red wine.
-Certainly, sir.
-Just as you enjoy gambling,
I enjoy wine.
Some call wine the tears of God.
I never cry.
Here's my advice.
Never say never.
You seemed pretty down earlier,
but the look in your eyes has changed.
I won't give up on either one of us.
I'm choosing
both me and Do Do-hee.
You must've come up with some great idea.
But it doesn't matter.
The rule is that if one wins,
the other must lose.
You told me
that even though you set the rules,
humans make the choices.
I choose
to struggle against it as much as I can.
You've really become human.
Choosing to struggle in vain.
You're right.
This is what it means to be human.
Let's make a bet.
If I get my powers back
and Do Do-hee lives,
you lose.
I told you.
That's never going to happen.
Remember?
Never say never.
I'm off.
That's the way it is with humans.
Pitiful things.
How did it go, Director Jeong?
Did the homeless lady know something?
What time did you say
Do Do-hee and I fell into the sea?
It was shortly after midnight,
so around 12:30 a.m.
Shortly after midnight?
Are you getting the tattoo back?
Is that what she told you to do?
That's a relief.
I was worried
there was nothing you could do.
Mr. Park.
Yes?
If I don't make it back,
take over my position.
What?
Put my belongings up for auction
and use the proceeds
to finish paying for your new car.
And tell Ga-young…
that I went somewhere far away.
Why are you saying all this?
It sounds as if you're going to die.
No one's going to die.
I'm saying it just in case.
There you are.
I thought you went away somewhere.
Where would I go?
I had this dream
where you told me you were going away.
How did you know?
We're going on a trip today.
-A trip?
-Let's go to Sokcho.
What for?
There will be a full moon tonight.
Just like the night
my tattoo transferred to you.
The tattoo…
will come back to me.
Really?
Yes.
So there was a way?
That's great.
A honeymoon.
We never went on our honeymoon.
This can be it.
What do you say?
Sounds good.
BOOST YOUR VIRILITY
LORD OF HELL
I feel so alert and clear now.
What a peaceful day.
It's as if the world
were free of any problems.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Noh is likely to be elected chairman
at today's stockholders' meeting.
That is clearly a problem.
What does that have to do with us?
It has everything to do with us.
It means we've lost our chance
to be the next chairperson's
closest allies.
I was so close to becoming
an executive of Mirae Group.
"Director Han."
That's not going to happen
even if Ms. Do becomes the chairwoman.
Why not?
Who is more qualified than me?
It's best if you don't know.
They say ignorance is bliss.
Some amazing pep talk, isn't it?
It really is.
Just tell me.
What do I need to change
to become an executive?
Good morning, Ms. Do.
Good morning.
-Have a nice day, Ms. Do.
-Have a nice day.
You too.
I freed up your afternoon
as you instructed.
Thank you.
-…now departing!
-Ladies…
-Da-jeong.
-You better…
get your act together.
I'm sorry for making you work
so late all the time.
I've really got to quit drinking.
Let's take a little break.
-My goodness!
-What's going on?
What was that?
There was a rat.
-A rat?
-A rat?
-Open the door.
-Jeez.
-I'm opening it.
-Open it.
That hurts.
Doctor,
is it supposed to hurt this much?
Or is something wrong with my head?
She signed the document.
What?
She even signed the document?
What on earth is she plotting?
She thinks way too many steps ahead of me.
I can't keep up.
Doctor!
Doctor.
Please continue with the procedure
so I can get smarter.
I could use a rush of dopamine.
Hold on, that hurts!
RENUNCIATION OF INHERITANCE
You haven't sorted it out yet?
-Sorry?
-The girls.
I did.
Should I leave?
The food is ready.
You should eat well on the big day.
You too, Do-gyeong.
Okay.
You've been waiting so desperately
for the full moon.
But that's what will happen?
What if
you go into the sea,
but the tattoo doesn't return?
What will happen then?
In that case,
Do-hee will go back
to her normal life without me,
and I'll go out in a fiery blaze,
like a campfire.
Director Jeong pretends to be strong
even in the face of death.
No, I shouldn't cry.
Not when he's staying strong.
My goodness!
Your footsteps are so light
that I didn't notice you coming in.
Don't you leave me in the dark again.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with Director Jeong?
What? There's nothing wrong.
Can he even come to watch me perform?
Is he even coming back?
Of course he can watch you perform.
He's definitely going to come back.
No matter…
Don't worry, Star Jin.
Both Director Jeong and his tattoo
will come back!
They have to.
ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING AND MURDER
2 FROZEN CORPSES AT THE SCENE
Any ideas, sir?
We haven't found the weapon
Gi Kwang-chul used on Mr. Jeong,
have we?
No, we combed through the area
but failed to find it.
Mr. Jeong was stabbed in the heart.
So was Gi Kwang-chul
after his body burned.
That's right.
That can't just be a coincidence, can it?
That's because it isn't.
I was going to visit you,
so you came at the right time.
I thought I should clear things up.
The knife stuck into
Gi Kwang-chul's dead body
is the same one he used on me.
You may think that I have
enough reason to kill him,
but it wasn't me.
I was home with Do Do-hee that day,
so I have a solid alibi.
Check the CCTV footage if you want.
We haven't even made you our suspect,
so why are you telling us this?
I believe
that the knife is a warning
directed at me.
But if the warning
turns out…
to be directed at Do Do-hee,
she might face danger again.
So I have
a favor to ask you.
Please keep her safe.
Is the cable car too old-fashioned?
But that's part of its charm.
Okay, this looks good.
After the cable car, we'll go for dinner.
SOKCHO RECOMMENDATIONS
Is Gu-won running late?
Hello?
This is Jin Ga-young.
We need to talk.
So you're going to
try to restore the tattoo.
Yes.
Do you want Director Jeong
to get his powers back?
Yes, of course.
What will you do…
if it doesn't work tonight?
If it doesn't work?
What do you mean?
What if you jump into the water,
but the tattoo doesn't go back?
What will you do then?
Did the director tell you
that it's definitely going to work?
Director Jeong
is planning to die in your stead
if it doesn't work.
Ms. Jin, I don't understand what you're--
He'll die if the tattoo
doesn't return to him tonight.
But if you die,
the tattoo will return to him.
This is poison.
Even a few pills can be deadly.
I beg you.
Please save Director Jeong.
Jin Ga-young.
What are you doing here?
Gu-won.
Is it true?
Will you die if we fail tonight?
I only told her the truth.
Don't listen to that nonsense. Let's go.
Answer me.
Is it true?
The only thing you can do for him is die.
Jin Ga-young!
I told you not to cross the line.
I'm so confused right now.
I need some time to think.
I'm just trying to save you.
Don't delude yourself.
You mean nothing to me.
If the world were to end tomorrow,
what would you do?
Why would the world end?
By some random twist of fate, I suppose.
Is it true?
Will Jeong Gu-won die
if he doesn't get the tattoo back tonight?
You knew about it, didn't you?
I did.
Director Jeong himself
only found out last night.
So that's why he was…
Director Jeong
is planning to die in your stead
if it doesn't work.
But if you die,
the tattoo will return to him.
Do you know how many times
I almost died today?
I wanted to check something.
Then you should've told me beforehand.
If I had told you,
you would've refused.
I can't stay by your side anymore.
I'm going away.
To a faraway place
that you can't reach.
Do-hee.
Let's go.
Let's find a way
for you to get the tattoo back.
We can't die just like this,
not after what we've been through.
Even if we have to jump into the sea
a hundred or even a thousand times,
I'll make sure the tattoo returns to you.
I'll do whatever it takes…
I'll also do whatever it takes.
Anything at all.
SUNWOL FOUNDATION
I'm here to ask you about
the tattoo you mentioned last time.
Will it put Do-hee in danger?
I have no idea.
But one thing's for sure.
No human got to have a happy ending
after encountering Director Jeong.
They either remain in a living hell
or sell their soul and go to hell.
Either way, they end up in hell.
I can't just sit back.
I have to stop him.
Then today is your last chance.
Come to think of it,
you'll get a birthday now.
You'll be reborn as a perfect demon.
That must be why
I wanted to make you a birthday cake.
Let's make a proper one this time.
It feels rather nice
to think I'll get a birthday.
Remember our deal?
We share the same fate, remember?
Always keep in mind
that we're in the same boat.
It's too high!
I'm my bodyguard's bodyguard!
Why did you propose to me?
I don't want you to die.
Stop! Hold on a second.
"The rest of our lives"?
That wasn't part of the deal.
I just want to accept you the way you are.
Apparently, demons used to be
the guardians of mankind.
Then you're back to being
your original self.
You're my guardian.
Everyone I've ever loved is dead.
And you'll die
because of me too.
I don't care.
If the world were to end tomorrow,
is there anything you want to do
by yourself?
No.
I want to spend my last day with you.
Shall we?
Let's go.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JEONG GU-WON
Director Jeong.
Let's begin
the 36th special stockholders' meeting
of Mirae Group.
Suk-min.
What if this is a poisoned chalice
or something?
We might be hitting rock bottom
if we drink from it.
The board has recommended
Acting Chairman Noh Suk-min
for the chairperson position.
You shouldn't dream of climbing higher
without daring to hit rock bottom.
Where's Do-gyeong?
He isn't feeling well.
Again?
He's too sickly for his age.
Let's take a vote
on whether to elect Mr. Noh as chairman.
I hope we do better
than we did at the Han River last time.
Thanks for telling me beforehand
this time.
That was a rehearsal for today.
We're almost there.
Everything will soon
go back to normal.
LOW FUEL
Let me go pay for this.
What's that?
A postcard.
To commemorate today.
Wait, should we also get a cake
so we can celebrate later?
Let's see what they have.
-Get a strawberry cake.
-Okay.
You haven't sorted it out yet?
The girls.
I did.
ENFORCER
Noh Suk-min!
ENFORCER
My phone's right here.
So how come you have the exact same one?
I carve lessons into your body
so you remember them better,
but you always seem to forget
after a while.
Like I said,
I'm going to fix you up.
Prove your worth to me.
CREDIT CARD
PROCEED WITH PAYMEN
I beg you.
Please save Director Jeong.
-Hi, Seok-hoon.
-Where are you? Are you alone?
That came out of the blue.
Answer me.
Are you with Jeong Gu-won?
Yes.
He's not right next to me though.
You're in danger.
Keep away from him.
I know
what he is.
I'm on my way to you.
-So keep away from him--
-I understand what you're saying,
but it's not like that.
He would never do such a thing.
You're being fooled, Do-hee.
Do you know
why he dragged you all the way there?
It's to save himself by killing you!
I'm sorry. I'm hanging up.
The votes are in.
With more than 78.5% of the vote,
Mr. Noh Suk-min has been elected
the chairman of Mirae Group.
Do-hee!
Do-hee.
Do-hee!
No, Director Jeong.
You're a mere human now.
You'll die if you go in there!
Let go.
Just look the other way.
Do Do-hee has to die for you to live!
I can't live without her.
Ms. Jin,
what was that about?
Do-hee has to die for him to live?
It's all over now.
They'll both die.
No.
Do-hee…
No.
Humans always end up
choosing one over the other.
Whether they want to or not,
that is their destiny.
If we ever end up
having to make a cruel choice,
I'll choose you.
Because I know
that losing someone I love
is worse than losing myself.
Please don't resent my choice.
Please forgive me for condemning you
to the same hell I went through.
Do-hee!
Remembering the value of trust
that I learned from my mother,
I will restore Mirae Group
to its former glory.
CHAIRMAN NOH SUK-MIN
Mother.
Are you happy now?
MIRAE GROUP
I've become the devil just as you wanted.
Please hurry.
There are people inside!
Hurry.
How…
Do-hee.
Do-hee.
The tattoo…
has come back to me.
Subtitle translation by: Min-jin Kim
Congratulations. You don't flicker
or need to charge up anymore.
I still need to charge up.
Go away!
Wolsim!
Why am I still dreaming
of when I was human
when my powers have returned?
Perhaps you want to remain a human.
So they survived that fiery pit?
The culprit knew we were in Sokcho.
Someone leaked our information.
The people who knew we were in Sokcho are…
I'm here to join your side.
Let's resolve our past conflicts
and work together from now on.
