Sell Your Haunted House (2021) s01e15 Episode Script

1
Ms. Choi.
Yes, she just went in.
She heard the recording file.
And I told her everything. Let's wait.
It will be hard
to make a decision right away.
Great work.
Should I pick up some food on my way back?
How about the macarons
I got you last time?
No, thanks.
King-sized dumplings.
With both meat and kimchi.
This is Hong Ji-a, Daebak Realty.
Ms. Hong?
I'll testify.
There's a secret ledger,
but it's somewhere else, not here.
That ledger is the record
of all of Dohak's corruption.
It'll be
more than enough evidence.
Ms. Choi.
Thank you for your courage.
That guy is
At 10:30 p.m.,
at Sky Building in Haengun-dong, Seoul,
-Oh In-beom.
-a fire incident
suspected to be
a gas explosion took place.
In-beom!
In-beom.
Mom!
What are you doing?
In-beom.
Are you okay?
What happened?
There was an explosion.
An explosion?
Hairy
One of Do Hak-seong's henchmen
who lied to us about the cold storage.
Right after Ms. Choi entered Sky Building,
I saw him leaving the building.
The police obtained security footage
that's from before the explosion.
They'll make a composite
based on the information we gave them,
and put out an APB by tonight.
Do Hak-seong is
more terrifying than ghosts.
She's been his secretary for 20 years.
We must find him before the police do.
That guy headed toward
the intersection in Haengun-dong.
Okay. I'm sure we'll find a lead
if we check the security footage
and his call records.
Give me a list of Choi's real estate.
Include ones that are
under other people's names.
Why do you want to see that?
When she last called me,
she agreed to testify
and mentioned a secret ledger.
There's a secret ledger,
but it's somewhere else, not here.
That ledger is the record
of all of Dohak's corruption.
It'll be
more than enough evidence.
I'll look into it right away.
Will we be able to bring him down
we find that secret ledger?
We must.
That scumbag is really unbelievable.
How many innocent lives did he take
just to murder Ms. Choi?
Didn't I tell you
you wouldn't be able to catch me?
You just wait.
I'll make sure you get sacked
at all costs.
Go home safely, sir.
We'll meet again soon.
-Here he comes.
-Here he comes.
-Move aside.
-Is it true that you instigated
the Yongnam Village fire?
Please tell us!
Please tell us something!
-Please share a word or two!
-Is it true?
Tell us your thoughts!
Please comment!
Do you admit to your offenses?
Sir, it's very difficult to reach you.
Not that
I needed your help to get myself out.
Okay. Sure.
Have you reached Assemblyman Han?
Not yet, sir.
Those darn scumbags.
How dare they treat me like a spent force?
What about the guy who rigged it?
He'll be stowing away
on a ship early tomorrow morning.
I've located Hairy.
DAEBAK REALTY
He turned on his phone for a brief moment,
and it was around Haeseong Port, Incheon.
DAEBAK REALTY
I'll call the police for help.
Be careful, guys.
Even if we get him, he won't confess
easily that Do Hak-seong ordered it.
When we handed him over
to the police last time,
he played innocent until he was let go.
This time, he'll spill.
How are you so sure?
Because I won't hand him over
to the police.
Hello, sir.
Wait. Over there.
Hairy was on that motorcycle.
I heard you handled it nicely.
Well done.
Leave Korea for a while.
Thank you, sir.
No. You can't die.
A man is bleeding and unconscious.
Hurry to the warehouse at Haeseong Port!
Stop it.
It's too late.
YOO YEONG-JAE
Get the necklace ready.
YOO YEONG-JAE
Now.
I'm inside.
She just left.
So she'll be there in ten minutes.
So get it done in time.
Yes, sir.
Ten minutes?
That's more than enough time.
Let's see.
Oh, my.
You'll be burnt away anyway.
So why don't you come with me?
What's this? Is it a key to a safe?
I heard you handled it nicely.
Well done.
Leave Korea for a while.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir!
Sir
You can get arrested abroad
and sent back these days.
The key.
What?
He took a key from Ms. Choi's house.
Choi Seon-mi had a townhouse
under a borrowed name.
And there's a private safe
for the residents in the basement.
What's the name of the townhouse?
Happy Townhouse.
Okay. I got it.
Hairy stole this key
when he broke into Ms. Choi's house.
You'll find a secret ledger there.
Did you find this out
from the spirit's memories again?
DOHAK CONSTRUCTION
CHAIRMAN DO HAK-SEONG
Put an APB out on Do Hak-seong right now.
Yes, sir.
Push ahead with the safety inspection
of Sky Building.
If you dawdle and anything goes wrong,
it will be the end for all of us.
There was an explosion in the building.
What if we have people
move back and something happens?
Buildings don't collapse that easily.
Gosh. Mr. Do No.
Do Hak-seong caused all of this mess.
Please take care of it.
I'll help you if you need anything.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jung.
You
Did you enjoy your meal?
What do you think you're doing? How rude!
ARREST WARRAN
I'm arresting you
on suspicion of taking bribes.
What are you doing?
-Let go of me!
-Let go!
-Hey.
-Mr. Jung. Hey!
How could you do this to me?
-Let go.
-Hey! You bastards!
Let go of me!
Okay. Thank you for your help.
The evidence he got from Choi's storage
will be enough to prove him guilty
of embezzlement,
bribery, and aiding and abetting murder.
Even Do Hak-seong won't
be able to get away this time.
But what's the point? He already ran away.
There's an APB on him,
and he's on the No-Fly List.
He'll be apprehended soon.
So it's like Choi took revenge
on Do Hak-seong after she was killed.
That scum ought to be crushed.
There are just so many victims.
And I hear the death toll is still rising
at the hospital.
I'm not sure it's related, but
a strange rumor is going around online.
"A strange rumor"?
A lot of people are saying
they saw a ghost at Sky Building.
But what's odd is
that the ghost is faceless,
and whoever sees the ghost ends up dying.
What's wrong?
Did I say something wrong?
JINSEONG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
It can't be, right?
The doctor says
it's something like mass hysteria
and that he'll be fine
once he's treated and stable.
We're all going to die.
It's going to kill all of us!
You'll be okay, honey.
Calm down. Goodness.
No, that sound
That's the sound
of the faceless ghost coming.
Don't kill me.
-Don't kill me.
-Honey.
Please.
All right, calm down.
Someone help him, please. Doctor!
That's the second person.
He said he saw the faceless ghost
and ended up dying too.
What if something bad happens to us too?
Tell me about it.
What on earth is happening?
I'm too frightened to stay here.
The faceless ghost
he mentioned earlier
is the egg ghost, isn't it?
The same one
that possessed me 20 years ago.
Yes.
Like that time,
people who died at once in the fire
became an egg ghost.
That means, once again,
an egg ghost was created
because of Do Hak-seong.
Are you saying the egg ghost
is killing people at the hospital?
The egg ghost is
at Sky Building right now.
People who died in the hospital
probably had been bewitched by it
back at the Sky Building.
Egg ghost
Is there really no way to exorcise it?
There's only one way.
It's stabbing a person possessed by it
with a nameless needle and killing it.
A person who's possessed by the egg ghost?
Isn't it a psychic?
Are you saying In-beom has to die?
An egg ghost can possess
an exorcist's body as well.
Then are you saying
either one of you has to die?
You're kidding, right?
Let's just not do this one.
If we let it go on,
it'll continue to kill people.
It doesn't go around
killing people forever.
It vanishes once it kills enough people
to vent its spite.
How many people must die
before it loses its spite?
One hundred? Two hundred?
What if it's 1,000 people?
Can we sacrifice one person
to save 1,000 people?
If I don't perform an exorcism on him,
more people will die.
To stop that disaster,
we must sacrifice the boy.
What are you talking about?
A disaster or not,
I'll never let you kill In-beom!
An egg ghost is
an evil spirit
that cannot be controlled by humans.
It's like a natural disaster.
How is this a natural disaster?
People who died because of Do Hak-seong
became an egg ghost.
And that egg ghost is
going to kill more people.
-We can't turn a blind eye to it.
-What if we don't? Do you have a plan?
What now?
Will you sacrifice yourself?
No, that's out of the question!
-I'm saying I'll find a way.
-That's enough, all of you.
In-beom.
Do whatever you want.
Go find a way
or help those unfortunate people.
Do whatever you like.
But I'm not taking part in this.
Don't ever bring up
"egg ghost" in front of me.
I'm looking
into the possibility of revoking
the building permit on Sky Building.
The permit shouldn't have been granted
due to faulty construction.
But Do lobbied some people
and completed the building.
If it's revoked,
we'll be able to prevent
huge accidents for a while.
DAEBAK REALTY
Mi-jin.
Mom
You can't exorcise it by yourself.
Ms. Hong is out. What's with you?
Stop thinking.
Okay. We'll find a way.
Yes.
Let's just go to bed.
Okay.
-Good night.
-Night.
I'm different from my mom.
I can ignore this.
I can ignore it.
I can.
Hello, may I have a word with you?
Sure, go ahead.
You were at the scene of the fire
at Sky Building, right?
Yes.
I have a question about it.
LIST OF DEATHS IN THE SKY BUILDING FIRE
I never even saw the fire
because of the thick smoke.
There were sprinklers,
but they never went off.
LEE JAE-PIL, 49, MALE, SUFFOCATION,
DIED AT THE SCENE
DIED AT THE SCENE
There was a lot of smoke
due to the cheap interior material,
and the sprinklers didn't go off,
so it became worse.
I see.
CHOI MI-HUN, 17, MALE, SUFFOCATION,
DIED IN THE AMBULANCE
It was a huge fire.
And what's worse was
that the sprinklers didn't work.
I think that's why they all asphyxiated.
DAEBAK REALTY
Delivery.
Delivery.
Here's your food.
Gosh, you're so generous.
Thank you for the food.
-Where's In-beom?
-He had plans, so he went out.
Are you done already?
I don't have an appetite.
I'm going out.
She didn't finish her food.
She's seriously ill, isn't she?
How may I help you?
You can't go in there right now.
Are you sure no one
has entered the building?
Yes. Until they finish
the safety inspection,
even the residents can't enter.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Didn't you just say
that no one was allowed in?
Sorry?
SAFETY INSPECTION
They're here to do the safety inspection.
If they can't enter,
who will do the inspection?
You could die
if you go in there right now.
-What?
-Who is she?
Beats me. Who are you?
Where are you from?
You look completely normal,
but you must be insane.
Move aside before I call the police!
Is this the police?
Why did you do that?
She's crazy. She just threw my keys.
Ms. Hong, you must explain yourself.
Sir.
Take a look at this.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT SKY BUILDING
Once again, people have died.
DAEBAK REALTY
What? What do you want?
Why did you go there?
I was just passing by.
You were just passing by, but you caused
a scene and damaged their property?
Thank goodness
you didn't go there on purpose.
You couldn't just ignore it, could you?
I knew it.
The Ms. Hong I know pretends to be
coldhearted but is actually warmhearted.
Give me the paper
you've been jotting down on.
You knew?
How could I not when we live together?
A list of deaths
in the Sky Building incident.
To perform an exorcism,
we need the vengeful spirits' names.
That's where I began.
I figured identifying them
was the first step.
I've visited the police,
hospital, fire station,
and the bereaved families.
If an egg ghost is
made out of vengeful spirits
who died at once in the same place,
then those eight individuals
are the names.
Since there are eight of them,
maybe you should stab me eight times.
Or stab me once with eight needles?
Don't you think that might kill you?
Right.
Hold on.
We're a skillful exorcist
and a special psychic.
What's there to worry about?
All right. Let's think this through.
Have you gone crazy?
How dare you come here?
Please help me this once, sir.
I refuse to go down like this.
If you help me,
I will get back on my feet.
Think about the amount
of money I've given you!
You damn thug.
How dare you threaten me?
Do you still not get it?
You're done for.
You've ruined my appetite.
Damn it.
After leeching off me all this time,
how dare he call me a thug?
That damn scumbag.
How did it go?
The police have blocked
all your secret accounts.
God damn it.
How in the world did the police get
the secret ledger Ms. Choi had?
It was Hong.
It was Hong from Daebak Realty.
And she was the last person
to speak with Ms. Choi.
What?
Hong Ji-a, that wench.
Find out her whereabouts
and keep me posted.
What is this?
Your fake passport and a stowaway ticket
for the ship that leaves for Vladivostok
tomorrow evening.
This is as far
as I can help you, sir.
You scumbag.
Don't you know how much I've paid you?
That's why I'm helping you
this much.
All right, then.
Good luck.
Take this with you, you scumbag!
Hong Ji-a
Hong Ji-a
Sky Building passed the safety inspection?
How is that possible?
The building permit was
about to be revoked, so how?
It's not that easy to revoke it.
Not only did Do bribe his way
into getting the permit,
but there's also faulty construction.
Did the higher-ups pressure you?
Of course not.
Then how did it pass?
Sir.
We can't let people move
into that dangerous building.
The safety inspection was done
by a reliable company,
and they're not moving in right away.
Reinforce will be done thoroughly
before we let anyone move back in,
so don't worry.
DIED AT THE SCENE
LIST OF DEATHS IN THE SKY BUILDING FIRE
CHOI SEON-MI, GU JI-YEONG
If an egg ghost is
made out of vengeful spirits
who died at once in the same place,
then those eight individuals
are the names.
CHOI SEON-MI
DAEBAK REALTY
Yes?
Why are you out here?
No.
So many people will die
once people start moving back in.
But they're not moving back in right now.
It's just a matter of time.
As long as the egg ghost is in there,
a disaster is bound to happen.
It hasn't happened yet.
But you know that it will.
What then?
Will you kill Oh In-beom?
Hong Ji-a.
-Don't tell me
-No one will die.
How?
Someone must die
to kill an evil spirit like an egg ghost.
What if we seal it instead of killing it?
What are you talking about?
In-beom identified
all of the victims who died.
Sealing them might work.
But you don't know that.
Don't worry.
I'm sealing the spirit, not killing it.
So no one will die.
And if anything goes wrong,
I'll get out of there.
Have I ever failed?
You know better than anyone
that I can't die
before I put my mother to rest.
Seal it?
It's a curse that locks up
a very strong evil spirit.
It's only temporary
since it's not an exorcism.
Let's think about
how we'll get rid of it completely later.
Then, no one
has to sacrifice their life, right?
The exorcist will suffer
some aftereffects.
That's why we don't usually do it.
Aftereffects?
Wouldn't that put you in danger?
It's better than people dying.
When will we do it?
Right away.
If we delay it even for a day,
there could be more victims.
DAEBAK REALTY
Seal the spirit? What do you mean?
And what's this earthen jar?
You guys don't have to
risk your lives, right?
Don't worry.
How could I not worry?
She's never done this before.
You're not sure if this will work.
I can hear you.
Be safe.
Okay.
I'll bring your boyfriend
back in one piece.
He's not my boyfriend.
Please bring him back in one piece.
Call me as soon as you're done.
If something goes wrong,
we'll come right away.
For what? There won't be
anything you can do to help.
Don't be rash.
The egg ghost might attack you.
Well, we can be like backup.
I'm just giving you moral support.
Okay, I understand. See you.
Mi-jin.
Please keep
Ji-a safe.
If anything goes wrong, I'm going to stop.
Get out of the building right away.
Why are you being like this?
You're scaring me.
I expected it wouldn't be easy.
But
I believe in you.
I know you will make it work.
Thank you for not giving up.
We're partners. That's what partners do.
GU JI-YEONG, GU JI-UNG
GU JI-YEONG, GU JI-UNG
LEE JAE-PIL, CHOI AN-NA
JO YONG-JIN, HWANG HO-SEON
Run, In-beom!
This is good. It's always good!
Your food is the best.
Just the food?
No. Everything you do is perfect,
Ms. Hong Mi-jin.
Hey, Ji-a. Why are you standing there?
Come and eat breakfast.
Ji-a, come and have a seat.
Come on.
Mom.
Nice, fried eggs.
-Is it good?
-Yes.
Mom.
I had a dream.
What was it about?
I was an exorcist in the dream.
An exorcist? What is that?
Someone who helps vengeful spirits
leave from this world.
And you were a psychic.
A psychic?
What's that?
No idea,
but it sounds like a perfect job for you.
What an interesting dream.
It was sad.
You were a vengeful spirit in my dream.
You're still a little girl, aren't you?
It was just a dream.
Don't be sad. I'm right here.
I'm not sad anymore.
Hey, Ji-a.
What's that necklace?
I've never seen it before.
My necklace?
It'll bother you as you eat.
Why don't you take it off?
Take it off.
-Yes, Ji-a. Take it off.
-Yes.
Just take it off.
Take off that necklace now.
I'm bewitched, aren't I?
What?
This isn't real.
You're not my mom.
In-beom.
You cannot leave this room.
Never.
If I don't perform an exorcism on him,
more people will die.
To stop that disaster,
we must sacrifice the boy.
This was it.
This was how she felt back then.
She couldn't let this horrible disaster
go out into the world.
Because she was an exorcist.
A spiritual needle without the spirit's
name on it can cause physical damage.
Stabbing the possessed psychic's heart
is the only way to exorcize it.
Once the psychic dies,
the egg ghost also vanishes.
Ms. Hong.
No!
No
We did it.
That's a relief.
Ms. Joo.
We're done with the exorcism.
We did it.
SECRETARY JOO HWA-JEONG
I warned you.
This is what you get
for making an enemy of me.
