Sell Your Haunted House (2021) s01e10 Episode Script

1
Ms. Hong.
What are you two doing here?
I can explain. What happened is
Gosh, my back hurts.
So why did you follow me?
Are you saying it was my fault?
You were going out at night, looking like
you'd kill the murderer. How could I not?
That thought did cross my mind.
See?
But my self-control is not that weak.
"Self-control"?
You threw me as soon as you grabbed me.
You lost your self-control.
My gosh.
Even when you're possessed by a vengeful
spirit, your violent tendency remains.
You could've woken me up
before I threw you down.
You were watching from the start.
That's because
Gosh, forget it.
It's your fault you went out carelessly
as soon as the exorcism was over.
I let my guard down since I hadn't
absorbed their memories in a while.
You nagged me so many times
to be cooped up at home.
That's enough.
If it weren't for me,
he would've called the police.
Hey!
Just eat.

Ms. Hong!
DAEBAK REALTY
I forgot to give this back to you.
I've had the same necklace
since when I was a kid.
And I've always thought
I got it from my uncle.
But come to think about it, it must've
been your mother that gave it to me.
I don't know yet
what happened 20 years ago.
But I could live
an ordinary life to this day,
all thanks to the necklace.
It's belated, but I wanted to say
thank you.
To tell the truth, I also don't know
exactly what happened 20 years ago.
My memories aren't complete,
just like yours.
That's why I looked for you.
I thought I might be able to find a way
to put my mom to rest
if I could find you
and learn what happened that day.
We were both after the same thing.
I got too worked up
and said things
I shouldn't have said to you.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
This is yours.
Live an ordinary life like you used to.
You surprised me.
I'm sorry.
Why are you out here?
I got scared.
Let's go.
Ji-a.
"Ji-a"?
Thank you.
Let me stay the night here.
I'll go to my friend's place tomorrow.
Ms. Hong, I'll get going.
Make yourself at home.
Thank you.
-Is Su-jeong all right?
-She's doing better.
She'll stay here tonight
and go to a friend's tomorrow.
What?
Can you please take her to your place?
-No, I can't.
-Why not?
I have a little something
called a private life.
What about me?
She asked you, not me.
She'd feel better to be with someone
who's closer to her age.
It's not like that makes us close.
Oh, right. Chief Heo,
you can take her, then.
Of course, I'd love to.
-But
-Didn't you see her?
My gosh.
After what she just went through,
wouldn't it be tough for her
to be with a guy even if it's him?
It's just for the night. Comfort her.
Comfort her? You think I can?
How about you have a drink with her?
Drink in broad daylight?
Do you drink?
Sorry?
I'll find a replacement tenant soon,
so move as quickly as possible.
Do you think
it'll all be over once I move?
To be honest,
I doubt he'll give up so easily
since he even killed someone.
No.
I meant the spirit.
I don't think that spirit will let me go.
What do you mean?
To tell the truth,
I saw it that day.
I saw her face at the very last moment.
Her eyes
were crying out to me for help.
They were saying, "Help! Please help me."
But I was too scared.
I was so scared and decided to ignore it.
I told myself I was mistaken.
And that they must've known each other,
and nothing bad would happen.
She's here! She came back.
I put that vengeful spirit
to rest yesterday.
No, she's still here.
She has been following
and haunting me since that day.
She died because of me!
She'll follow me around
until the day I die.
Get a grip.
Why would she haunt you
when she died trying to save you?
What?
On that day, Lee Hyeon-ju
got back on the elevator
because she couldn't
leave you alone with him.
Because he wouldn't harm you easily
if she was with you.
And she appeared before you
as a vengeful spirit
because she knew Ma Gwang-tae
would come back for you.
I didn't know.
I really didn't know.
Name's Lee Hyeon-ju.
The person who saved you
wasn't just a random woman
killed in the parking lot
or the seventh-floor neighbor.
Her name was Lee Hyeon-ju.
You of all people must remember her.
She was an actress for 12 years
and always said that her performances
were the only thing she could brag about.
Despite barely having
time to sleep to make ends meet,
she was on cloud nine because
she was about to become a leading actress
for the first time.
I'm sorry.
I truly am.
Decide
whether you'll stay a pathetic woman
tormented by guilt all your life
or be grateful
and live your life to the fullest for her.
I absorbed a spirit's memories
for the first time in a while.
This is excruciating.
It's still not been taken care of?
Everyone who went to Daebak Realty
claims to have seen a ghost.
Have they all gone insane or something?
-What was that?
-It's a ghost!
They saw her. They looked her in the eye.
Gosh. I knew they'd be like that.
I told you there was
a ghost in Daebak Realty.
Look at them running away.
JUNGBU POLICE STATION
You don't have to believe
what the spirit said.
But you must believe
what I am telling you.
Sir, what would you like for lunch?
We haven't had
lunchboxes in a while.
-Okay. I'll go buy them right now.
-No.
I'll go.
Here are
your bulgogi and shrimp lunchboxes.
Thank you.
How's your shoulder by the way?
It's fine now.
How did you hurt it again?
Well, I fell.
Just my luck.
Just your luck?
I threw in two beverages for you.
Thank you as always.
Your kitchen is
more spacious than I thought.
What is this design?
How unique.
Oh, that?
I bought the set when opening this shop.
I see.
"M" for Ma Gwang-tae.
-Here.
-Thank you.
My pleasure.
LUNCHBOX
What has the chairman been up to?
You punk.
Eat up. It's on me.
You scumbag.
Don't be frightened.
We're not here to hurt you.
I'm telling you.
A ghost really resides at Daebak Realty.
To make matters worse,
it's Ms. Hong's mother.
That's nothing new.
Did you find out anything else?
Well I did.
Of course, I did.
The mechanism of the exorcism.
It's quite simple.
She lures the spirit with incense.
Then puts the spirit
into the psychic's body.
Lastly, the spiritual needle. Game over.
Is that it?
Come on, what is that?
Gosh, you guys.
You make money that easily?
Easily? Not at all.
It's extremely dangerous.
It is?
They risk their lives every time.
So a preliminary inspection is a must.
A preliminary inspection?
Yes, that's right.
It's something they do
before the official exorcism.
It's like a rehearsal.
Late at night,
they go to the haunted house.
Ms. Hong and Oh In-beom.
Just them two. Gosh, it's just them.
And I heard
this is an extremely terrifying
and dangerous task.
Just them two?
OPENING HOURS
FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE
Ji-a.
Are you leaving?
Could you do me a favor?
No.
We must.
Let's just leave this to the police.
The police won't believe me
until they have firm evidence.
We must catch him red-handed.
You're talking about a murderer.
No. I won't allow it.
I'm terrified too.
But I must do this.
Still, you're going to lure him yourself?
That's just too dangerous.
I can't let him roam around freely.
If I do,
there will be other victims like me.
And some of them will be murdered as well.
My gosh.
Ms. Hong, say something.
Are you sure you won't regret this?
Yes, I am.
Set up the cameras as soon as you can.
Ms. Hong.
Thank you, Ji-a.
Is this because of Lee's memories
you absorbed?
You usually never get involved
once the exorcism's over.
It's because of Bae Su-jeong.
Sorry?
Did she grow on you overnight?
We need to catch Ma Gwang-tae
for her to be free of guilt
and carry on with her life.
I know very well how it feels
to be tormented by guilt
all your life.
She still has
a chance.
LUNCHBOX
You have nothing to do here.
Why don't you go back to the office?
You're much more shameless than I thought.
I didn't expect you to return.
I have nothing to hide anymore.
So why shouldn't I be back?
Haven't you heard?
Ms. Hong and I have made up.
And she even let me
have this necklace back.
For my sake.
What?
Chief He-o,
Ma Gwang-tae has entered the lobby.
OUT ON DELIVERY
Why are you doing this?
Be quiet.
You and I aren't dating.
And I never gave you the passcode.
Su-jeong. I'm sure you'll like me too.
Why won't you just do what I say?
Do you want
to end up dead like that wench?
Is that why you killed Lee Hyeon-ju?
Yes.
Because I really hate women
who don't listen to me.
I also hate men who don't listen to me.
Are you okay?
Be careful!
That scumbag!
Hello. It's a break and enter.
He has a knife too. Please hurry.
Ma Gwang-tae!
Hello? Is this 911?
Ms. Hong.
MA GWANG
MA GWANG-TAE
This guy's scum.
Are you okay?
What the hell is your deal?
Why won't you just do what I say?
Do you want
to end up dead like that wench?
Is that why you killed Lee Hyeon-ju?
Yes.
Because I really hate women
who don't listen to me.
You're done. You guys can go.
What?
But a man died. We can't let them go.
It's okay. He died in a car accident.
I'll call you if I need anything else.
Let's go.
I don't think we should just release them.
That's enough.
I witnessed the scene myself.
We got the murder weapon as well.
Let's wait until we get the report
from the NFS.
Ji-a.
Go get some sleep and forget everything.
Thank you so much.
Well, Su-jeong.
Can I drop you off at your friend's house?
No. You must feel uncomfortable in my car.
No, Ji-cheol. I would appreciate it.
Thank you. I mean it.
Are you sure?
Let's go.
-I'll drop you off.
-Sure.
DAEBAK REALTY
We aren't open
The door was open.
We found Lee Hyeon-ju's DNA
on Ma Gwang-tae's knife.
And on his PC,
we found many videos and photos
he took of Bae Su-jeong
and many other women illegally.
That's great news.
I thought I should let you know
how it went.
All right.
Is that all you came to say?
Actually,
there's something I'd like to ask.
This is what Ms. Hong drew
in the interrogation room.
And
this is the knife Ma used to kill Lee.
Only the culprit and victim
would know the mark.
How did Ms. Hong know that so accurately?
I'm sure she explained it herself
when she drew you this picture.
Does she really
see the memories of a spirit
through an exorcism?
I still find it hard to believe.
You always believed
only what you could see.
-Why did you kill the baby?
-Because it'd hold me back.
Isn't it obvious?
Was there something
I didn't know back then?
Everything has its hidden side.
I'll take that.
What's that?
Oh, this?
I'm preparing for the police exam.
The police?
There are way too many bad people
in this world.
To this day, I've lived my life
just hoping I'd never run into one.
But no matter how careful I am,
I can always come across one.
So I decided to just catch them myself.
Gosh, Su-jeong. You're so cool.
Why do I see Ms. Hong in her?
You're going to exorcise
Oh Seong-sik's spirit?
All of a sudden?
What are you talking about?
It's not a sudden decision.
I gave this a lot of thought.
In order to find out
what happened 20 years ago,
we must see his memories.
You don't even know
if he has memories of that day.
-I'll never know until I try.
-You can't!
It's too dangerous.
Did you forget what happened last time?
When Oh Seong-sik possessed In-beom,
he broke Do Hak-seong's arm.
What will you do
if he ends up killing him?
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
Is it because Oh Seong-sik
is In-beom's uncle?
Ms. Hong. In-beom doesn't know his uncle
is still here as a vengeful spirit.
It might be better for him
to live his life without knowing it.
Do you really think so?
If you live without knowing
the truth that's out there,
will it be all good?
And it's not only because of In-beom.
I realized something
during the Bae Su-jeong case.
That 20-year-old girl
risked her life to catch that murderer.
While I
I always said I wanted
to put my mom to rest,
but I never did anything about it.
What do you mean, you didn't do anything?
You've done everything you could,
but nothing's worked.
Once we find a suitable psychic
We've never tried exorcising Oh Seong-sik.
You've changed.
I still don't think you should do it.
But if you're really going to do it,
you'll have to fire me first.
This is driving me crazy.
I get what Ms. Joo is worried about,
but I need to do it.
This is the only way.
The problem is
if I'm going to tell In-beom or not.
What would you do, Mom?
This is too hard. My head hurts.
Yes. It'll be better not to.
Who dolled you up? You look perfect today.
Are you sure?
I have to look good today.
You do look good, like a celebrity.
Do you want to see?
You're right.
I look pretty good.
I can't believe this.
How could this be our last date
when we just had our first one?
A con artist and a police officer.
Cheer up, Ji-cheol.
Boarding academies are different
from the army, right?
They can stay out once a month,
and they can use their phones too.
It just sounds like the army.
I can't do this.
I need to join an online community
of people
with girlfriends in boarding academies.
Go ahead.
Make sure you brace yourself
and see her off.
And don't bawl in front of her academy.
I don't think I can
hold back my tears.
You can do it!
In-beom, get ready and come out.
-What?
-I'll buy you a meal.
A meal?
Is she asking you out on a date?
Of course not.
CHANGHWA RESTAURAN
How do I look?
I wanted to go with black and white.
Are you playing a game of go?
Whatever.
What do you want to say? You look serious.
Just say it.
Do you remember the time
Do Hak-seong hung you upside down?
Gosh. How could I forget that?
Hey, wait!
The vengeful spirit hovering around him
suddenly possessed you and attacked him.
We both know that.
Why are you telling me this again?
That vengeful spirit is
your uncle.
-What?
-Your uncle, Oh Seong-sik,
became a vengeful spirit
and stays next to Do Hak-seong.
Stop joking around.
Stop joking!
When did you find out?
From the moment I saw him.
I've never forgotten the face
of my mom's last client.
Had I revealed who I was early on,
you would've told me this sooner.
Let's go help him find peace.
What's the problem?
For this exorcism
No.
I don't want you
to get involved in this job.
He was your uncle.
Absorbing a stranger's memories
is painful enough.
Absorbing your beloved's memories
will be excruciating.
You promised you'd give us
an apartment unit.
-What?
-I set the place on fire
and killed people.
Give me the apartment.
He may not have been who you think he was.
I considered leaving it to another psychic
without telling you.
Perhaps, I may be able to find out
how to put my mom to rest
in your uncle's memories.
That's why I want
to see the memories myself.
But remember what you said?
-No matter
-No matter how horrible the truth,
I'd want to know it.
Frankly, I'm terrified.
Like you said,
I'm scared he might've
been a horrible man.
But suspecting something and being scared
without knowing the full story
Doing that for 20 years was enough.
So don't worry.
After all, I'm a special psychic.
Vengeful spirits stuck on people
are different from the ones in houses.
The exorcism won't work
without Do's cooperation.
But will he cooperate?
We'll make him.
Any ideas?
That's our specialty.
Right. Scamming people.
We're professionals.
Scammers.
I'll meet him myself.
Chief Heo, you do the rest.
Will he agree to see you?
He will,
if I say I want to talk
about selling Daebak Realty.
I'm here to clean.
Is anyone here?
Sit down.
CHAIRMAN DO HAK-SEONG
I heard you're here
about selling Daebak Realty.
Did Ms. Hong finally make up her mind?
Yes.
Really?
Gosh.
She has decided
never to sell it to you.
What are you trying to pull?
I wanted to ask you something.
But I knew you wouldn't meet with me,
so I had to be sly.
You must have a death wish.
Please. Of course not.
You have
met my uncle before, haven't you?
Who's your uncle?
Oh Seong-sik.
Oh Seong-sik?
Oh Seong
That squatter area arsonist?
I heard you were the last to see him
before he died.
Why did you see him?
Do you not know?
If I did, would I be asking you?
He called me over
and asked for some money.
What?
He demanded an apartment
since he set the place on fire
and ultimately got the area chosen
for redevelopment.
He threatened to tell the police that
I had ordered him to do so, if I didn't.
Don't you dare lie.
My uncle would
never do something like that for money.
Actually,
people do all sorts of things for money.
Come in.
-How's it going?
-We've already hired some actors.
-Get it over with.
-Yes, sir.
It's been a while since we did this.
It's thrilling and exciting.
Why the long face?
Were you not able to set the camera?
Never mind. Let's go.
There are three key places.
First, the large meeting room.
Second, the emergency stairs.
And third, the chairman's office.
But oddly enough,
the last one's not working.
What do you mean? I did my job.
Is that so?
Then why isn't it working?
It was brand-new.
Don't worry,
since a vengeful spirit is there.
Oh, is that right?
Okay. We've set up everything.
Just a little push,
and the rumors will spread like wildfire.
First, the intranet will go nuts.
After that, it'll rank first place
in ghost story websites.
And once the rumors
are posted in tabloids
Do Hak-seong will hear about it.
Are you sure this will really work?
Just trust us and be patient.
This worked every single time.
That's right.
Three days from now,
Dohak Construction will call you.
This is Hong Ji-a from Daebak Realty.
Dohak Construction?
Already?
Sure. Okay.
What did they say?
We're meeting tomorrow.
What did I tell you?
This is how good we are.
Sure.
2002, FROM GOLDEN CONSTRUCTION
TO DOHAK CONSTRUCTION
CEREMONY FOR THE REDEVELOPMEN
OF GOLDEN APARTMEN
Hello.
The chairman is waiting for you.
Okay. I'll take care of it.
I see. We'll talk again later.
Okay. Bye.
Sit.
A strange rumor has been
going around our company lately.
People are claiming
to have witnessed a ghost.
I heard you're an expert in this field.
I called you over to consult you.
So what's your take on this?
Based on the amount of energy I'm getting,
you must've felt it too.
What?
There's a vengeful spirit sticking to you.
And?
I'll exorcise that spirit.
An exorcism?
How much will it cost?
I don't need your money.
I just need to do the exorcism.
That's right. You can't ask me for money.
If you're this sloppy,
you'll never
make a living by scamming people.
That's the reality.
I thought I'd checked all
the security cameras.
I still don't know how that happened.
We can't change what already happened.
Let's go with plan B.
Don't look at me like that.
Just hear me out.
Don't we just need Do Hak-seong
to perform the exorcism?
So what? Are you suggesting
that we should kidnap him?
Do Hak-seong kidnapped us,
hung me upside, and beat me up.
-Why can't we do the same?
-He has a point.
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
But there's no other way.
Do you have any idea?
I'm thinking. Shut your mouth.
What are you guys doing here?
What's with the mood here?
Were you badmouthing me or something?
-Ms. Hong. You have a guest.
-Okay.
Gosh. My heart is hurting.
But how come we're keeping this
from Ms. Joo?
I'm not sure.
I urgently need money for my business.
So I want to sell my factory quickly.
But everyone who came to see it
saw a ghost there,
so no one wants to buy it.
It's driving me crazy.
So you didn't see the ghost yourself?
Yes, I did. I saw it myself.
That's why I came to you.
The electricity is cut off there,
and I locked up the warehouse.
No one can get in there.
Is anyone there?
Who is it?
Come on out.
Then, I don't remember what happened next.
When I woke up, I was at the hospital.
Did someone die at the factory?
No. I'm the owner.
I would know if someone died there.
I'll go check.
You don't have to do it today.
I just want to get some air.
DAEBAK REALTY
See you later.
Yes?
When will you tell Ms. Joo?
When I have a definite lead. If I tell her
before that, she'll just nag me.
It's not because you don't trust her?
Ms. Joo is the only person
I trust in this world.
Am I late?
What did you want to talk about?
Right. You're
as straightforward as always.
You get right to the point.
This place is scary. Do you see anything?
Everything seems fine so far.
Gosh. Isn't the electricity off
in this cold storage warehouse?
Why is it so cold in here?
Is it because a vengeful spirit is here
as he said?
No. There's no vengeful spirit here.
And no traces either. It's clean.
What? Then why is it so cold in here?
The warehouse is in the middle
of the mountain,
so it's bound to be cold here.
That's probably why people said
that this place was haunted.
Gosh. Seriously?
We came all the way here
at this hour for nothing?
Isn't it good to have
one less vengeful spirit in the world?
That's true.
What?
Ms. Hong came to see me.
She tried to scare me saying
that there was a ghost next to me
and that she'd get rid of it for me.
So?
What did you say?
I'm asking this out of pure curiosity.
What's her angle?
-What did you say to her?
-Why are you curious about that?
Don't tell me you said yes.
What's your deal? What do you know
and what are you plotting?
You don't want to tell me?
Then you leave me no choice.
Is anyone out there?
Darn it. It's freezing in here.
Damn it.
It's freezing.
Use me to stay warm. I don't mind.
I'm your heat pack.
Are you stupid?
You can only bring up my body temperature
when it's gone down
while dealing with vengeful spirits.
Still, I'll keep holding your hand.
Ms. Hong.
If we die here
like a pair of fools,
will we turn into vengeful spirits too?
I don't want that.
Stop saying something so stupid.
We're not going to die.
I will not die
before I put my mother to rest.
I cannot die.
Mom.
DAEBAK REALTY
It was me? You resented me?
Is it because I didn't stab you
as you asked?
Why are you here looking like that?
Why would you go alone? It's dangerous.
Why do you keep going out alone?
Am I that unhelpful?
It's time.
I went this far.
In-beom has to believe me.
What is that brat up to?
I need to see this for myself.
That's my only condition.
Do you think you're the only one
Oh Seong-sik met with
at Ilseong Hospital before he died?
I'm in my right mind.
It's something that has to be done.
Wait, you didn't call another psychic,
did you?
I have the most special psychic.
Why would I do that?
