(Episode 11)
Is anyone out there?
Darn it. It's freezing in here.
It's freezing.
Ms. Hong.
If we die here like a pair of fools,
would we turn into unrested spirits too?
I don't want that.
Don't say stupid stuff like that.
We're not going to die.
I will not die before I see my mother off.
I cannot die.
Mom.
Ms. Hong!
Hey, In Bum. In Bum!
Hey, In Bum!
Hey! In Bum!
Is anybody out there?
Hey, In Bum!
We must be dead.
We're dead...
and have become unrested spirits.
Seeing how you're rambling, you must be okay.
Right. Unrested spirits can't talk.
Gosh, what happened?
How did we escape?
In Bum!
That hurts!
- You're finally awake. - Gosh.
Ms. Hong.
I could reach neither of you.
It seemed odd, so I searched for you.
You were unconscious in a storage warehouse.
I thought you were dead.
But we're not, so stop crying.
Okay.
The doctor said if I was a second late,
you would've died of hypothermia.
Where's Secretary Ju?
Well...
If she hasn't called, don't tell her.
She's the worrying type, so she'll just nag.
Ms. Hong.
You see...
Thankfully, she's no longer critical.
The doctor said she'll wake up soon,
so don't worry too much.
How are you feeling?
What happened?
She left right after you two did, saying she had an appointment.
That late? With whom?
Do Hak Sung.
Do Hak Sung?
She called me and said she was meeting with him.
After that, I couldn't reach her.
When I had gone there, she was already...
Then it was his doing.
But there's no proof.
The police investigated the scene...
and concluded that it was an accident.
They think construction materials fell on her.
An accident?
Around the same time,
we almost froze to death in a cold storage warehouse.
And Secretary Ju is unconscious.
This isn't a coincidence.
I agree.
The man who wanted to sell the cold storage warehouse...
can't be reached either.
Ji Chul.
Let's look for that guy.
I'm certain he's tied to Do Hak Sung.
Okay.
Don't worry about Hwa Jeong.
I'll move her to a safe place.
Thank you.
Ms. Hong.
Don't worry too much about her.
They said she'll wake up soon.
Okay.
It was you, right?
You're the one who saved me, right?
No. That makes no sense.
You're a poltergeist.
You're tied to this realty.
That's why we've never met outside.
So...
there's no way you went there, right?
Was it not this place,
but me?
Are you tied to me?
But why?
Because you despise me?
Is it because I disobeyed you and went downstairs?
Or is it because I ruined your plan?
Or...
is it because I couldn't stab you like you told me to?
Is that why you're still here?
Why have you remained here looking like that?
Those who were supposed to freeze to death are still alive.
And that wench who should've been crushed...
has disappeared!
I'm sorry, sir.
Look for that wench, Ju Hwa Jeong, first.
- That's the first priority! - Understood, sir.
(Changhwa Restaurant)
Hello, ma'am.
Yes.
No. It's still quiet here.
Oh, the secretary is nowhere to be seen.
Yes. Okay.
Yes, ma'am.
Understood.
It's time.
He has removed all traces of himself.
There's not a single recording of his face.
I'm sure his vehicle was rented under a fake name too.
This will take some time.
Our food's here.
Oh, yes. Hello.
- Delivery. - Thank you.
You could've just come over to eat.
It's seaweed soup.
Yes. I think it's her son's birthday.
She makes seaweed soup every year on his birthday...
because she misses him.
So? Did you find the fraud?
How do you know about that?
I told him.
Why would you tell him about that?
Well... I just...
Hey. Haven't we known each other for some time now?
Gosh, I'm getting teary-eyed.
I had some information,
so I wanted to give it to you. But never mind.
Information?
We don't need it. Leave if you're done here.
You're so impatient.
It's nothing much.
Do you remember President Hwang whom you put behind bars recently?
The one who committed the Green Villas fraud?
Yes, him.
And this guy. He's on the wanted list,
- so will you please look him up? - You are on the wanted list.
See that?
Let me call my attorney.
Not only did he help Do Hak Sung with his slush fund,
but he also managed guys like me.
There's another company he managed.
President Hwang went to prison due to the Green Villas incident.
I was ousted.
Then there's just one more person.
You're saying Do Hak Sung ordered those men to do this job?
I'm positive.
Surprisingly, he doesn't know that many people.
How do I put it?
He always has the same meal every single day.
Gosh, he's so boring.
Cut it out.
So do you know who it is?
Of course, I do.
His nickname is Scruffy.
After President Hwang and I were out of the picture,
he started working directly with Do Hak Sung...
and has become bolder.
Stop right there!
Hey!
- Ji Chul! Over there! - Okay!
Stop right there!
- Darn it! - What's your problem?
Hey!
- Darn it! - Darn it!
Darn it!
Get out of the way!
Are you okay?
Make sure to get that checked out by a doctor!
- Gosh. Goodness. - Gosh. Goodness.
Talking is much easier than running.
Why did you make us run? I'm all sweaty now.
Don't come near me.
I'll kill you.
Move back.
We'll move back. We're going.
Gosh. He has a knife.
- Do we have anything? - Do we?
Yes, we do.
Gosh!
Oh, my.
Mister.
Don't move! Stay there!
Just tell me who gave you the order.
It's Do Hak Sung, isn't it?
Who's that?
I just pulled a prank on you guys.
Fine. I'll man up and apologize.
Sorry. Are we good now?
He gives me no choice.
Let's hand him over to the police.
Sure.
Gosh. Go ahead.
Anyway, you guys assaulted me, too.
Come on.
Yes, protein.
Even if they catch Scruffy, they won't get anything out of him.
Unless he wants to die,
he would never utter the chairman's name.
I knew you had a plan.
You're the cleverest guy.
When you told me you gave away Scruffy,
I thought you had gone mad.
- Eat up. Eat a lot. - Okay.
- Ma'am, give us more food. - Okay.
Gosh. After everything I did for Oh In Bum,
he ought to trust me.
- Sun Nyu. - Yes.
I'll come back soon.
I'll give the chairman information on Daebak Realty.
I'll get back Taejin Nightclub...
all on my own.
Okay.
The chairman's right-hand man...
- will come back soon. - Okay.
- Sun Nyu. - Yes?
Thanks for the food.
Hey, I'm tight with cash this month.
(Jungbu Police Station)
(Violent Crimes Team 1)
I understand what you're saying.
But it's hard to charge him with that for now.
What's this about?
I understand that he desperately wants to redevelop the area,
but hiring a hitman to get rid of you seems...
a bit far-fetched.
He's more than capable of doing so.
He kidnapped Ms. Hong and me once already...
and threatened her to sign the purchase agreement.
So this time, he tried to kill you guys?
Yes.
And Ms. Ju is still unconscious.
Which hospital is she at?
I can't tell you that now.
I'll tell you what.
I'll look into the cold storage incident.
Well, it's a known fact...
that he works as an enforcer for the redevelopment project.
I doubt that he'd cause trouble for nothing in return.
It is fishy indeed.
I was under the impression you didn't approve of us.
You thought we were a bunch of frauds.
I never said I stopped thinking that.
I'm just doing my job as a detective.
That won't help.
I'm sure Do Hak Sung already took care of everything.
If he's a decent detective, he would find a lead.
Don't get your hopes up.
We know that Do Hak Sung was behind this,
but we can't do anything. How frustrating.
- Hello. - Hey, Detective Kang.
Yes.
How's the attempted murder case of Ju Hwa Jeong going?
Oh, that case. The director told me to close it as a simple accident.
I'll get going now.
Come on in.
Sir.
Hey, Mr. Jung. What's this about?
Oh, right. This is my best cop at our station.
His name is Jung Ji Wook.
I see. Mr. Jung.
I've heard a lot about you.
I heard you were very upright and honorable.
What's this about?
It's nothing. I'll come back another time.
Please have some.
(Investigation Team 1)
I'm Kang Han Seok from Jungbu Police Station.
A few days ago, two people were locked up in cold storage.
I'm investigating this case based on a tip that...
Do Hak Sung of Dohak Construction is the instigator.
How much have you found out?
I haven't found anything yet.
But when I looked into it,
you carried out an investigation on a similar case 20 years ago.
Back then, you investigated Do Hak Sung...
of Golden Properties on the suspicion...
of murdering the shantytown arsonist, Oh Sung Sik,
but you stopped investigating due to a lack of evidence.
May I ask why you suspected him and investigated him?
It's simple.
The only person who benefited from the fire was...
Do Hak Sung.
Ms. Hong, you seem well.
Thanks to you.
(Real Estate Sales Agreement)
What's this?
You were willing to kill us if it meant buying my property.
I'll give you what you want.
I didn't put down the price,
so you can just put down a number you want.
I don't care about the price of the property.
But in return,
let me send off the unrested spirit who's staying next to you.
That's my only condition.
That again?
What's your real reason behind this charade?
What's your angle?
The unrested spirit that's clinging onto you is...
Oh In Bum's uncle who died 20 years ago.
It's Oh Sung Sik.
I don't care what you did to Oh Sung Sik.
I just want to send off the spirit...
who couldn't leave this world even when he's dead.
Fine.
Do it. Go ahead and perform your exorcism.
Let's see how good you are.
Why did you agree to that?
Do you honestly believe...
that Oh Sung Sik's spirit is with you?
Do you think I'm crazy?
There are no ghosts in the world.
Then, why?
I must see it for myself...
what she's trying to achieve.
After that,
I'll get rid of her myself this time.
Gosh, Mom. You should eat something.
Eat up, okay?
- I loved the beans in soy sauce. - Okay.
I'm off to do a delivery.
He's getting on my mind.
Kim Tae Jin?
Don't mind him.
I think he became a new man.
Why would he suddenly become...
a new man right in front of Daebak Realty?
Goodness, you shouldn't judge people by their covers.
You should judge them by their actions.
What did he ever do?
Giving us a tipoff on Scruffy?
That wasn't helpful.
It's not about the result. It's that he tried.
(Changhwa Restaurant)
- Thanks for the food. - Thank you.
I found it! Mr. Yang! I found it!
- I found him. Look. Look at this. - What?
Look.
Honey, come on out!
Ma'am!
- Look at this. - What is it?
Look. Look at this.
Look.
This friend of mine runs an employment agency in Seocho-dong.
Look, this list is from six months ago,
and there's Yang Chang Hwa, born on March 20, 1990. That's him.
That's him. That's him all right.
It's him, right?
That little rascal.
If he's alive, how could he never contact us?
Don't worry, okay?
I already called everyone I know.
Once they see him, they'll give me a call right away.
Thank you.
- Mr. Yang, you trust me, right? - Yes.
Just trust me and give me some more time.
- Anything you want to eat? - Japchae.
Are you going to make it?
- Let's go. - Let's eat some japchae!
All right!
I was right.
A bad guy wouldn't go out looking for their son.
Did he really decide to live a new life?
I'm telling you.
People can change.
You and I stopped scamming people too.
Hey, it's okay.
(Changhwa Restaurant)
This cost my entire paycheck.
This was an expensive talisman.
It'll keep me safe.
I trust in you, talisman.
I trust you.
(Daebak Realty)
Oh, gosh.
- My goodness. - Hey.
Gosh, In Bum.
The night sky is very clear.
Go to bed.
Go on inside. Goodnight.
My gosh, what's with him?
Man, that felt weird.
I met with Do Hak Sung.
All alone?
Were you hurt? Are you okay?
I took the job to perform an exorcism on your uncle.
And Do Hak Sung said...
he'll do it?
On terms that I'll sell this house.
If you sell this place,
what about your mother?
You said you couldn't leave this place...
because your mother is a poltergeist here.
I was wrong.
What do you suddenly mean?
When you and I almost died in that cold storage,
she was there too.
If she's a poltergeist, she couldn't have come.
She wasn't tied down to this house,
but to me,
just like how your uncle is stuck on Do Hak Sung.
I was always afraid...
that my mom was left behind...
because of her resentment for me.
That makes no sense.
A daughter couldn't make a mother become an unrested spirit.
And your mother of all people has no reason to do that.
An unrested spirit usually remains next to somebody...
because of resentment.
Pull yourself together, Ji A!
Get your mind straight, and do it.
I can't do that, Mom.
You can. You have to.
I don't want to do it, Mom.
If I didn't hesitate back then,
she wouldn't have died.
You said...
you wanted to know the truth no matter how horrible it is.
I feel the same way.
I need to know why my mom is here with me.
In order to do that,
I need the memories of your uncle, the man who was there on that night.
That's why...
I must do this exorcism ritual.
Hello?
Hey.
You're here.
What is this?
You came to visit your only full-time employee,
but you came empty-handed?
You must've been worried sick.
Goodness, you really were worried.
I was scared...
that I'll lose you forever too.
I don't think you realize this,
but the secretary position at Daebak Realty is tenured.
Look at the contract. You won't find my term.
What are you doing?
Are you crying?
My gosh, what's with you?
What has gotten into you, really?
Thank you...
for staying alive.
I won't leave you behind and go anywhere else.
I promise.
Why did you go see Do Hak Sung?
And you went alone too.
I figured he would just threaten me.
Goodness.
I didn't know he'd get this rough.
And I had something I could count on too.
What do you mean?
To be honest,
I threatened him.
"I know what you did 20 years ago."
"I even have evidence."
"Secretary of Daebak Realty, Ju Hwa Jeong."
What brings you here?
Are you willing to settle?
Settle?
You won't be able to report me to the police anyway.
You're the one who abducted and threatened...
Ms. Hong and In Bum first.
Then why are you here?
I'm here to talk about Oh Sung Sik.
- Who? - Do you think...
you're the only one Oh Sung Sik met with at Ilsung Hospital...
20 years ago right before he died?
He has told me many things.
I also know a lot of things that you've done.
For example,
the memorandum.
What do you want from me?
Goodness. Finally, we can talk.
Don't hurt Ji A.
If you do,
the whole world will know about the memorandum...
you gave to Oh Sung Sik.
When I told him I had the memorandum,
his face turned red.
You have it?
Of course, I don't.
Intimidation and threat go hand in hand.
Don't ever do that again.
I'll take care of it myself.
You'll take care of it?
I know your hot temper will get the best of you.
What?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Don't you do anything until I get discharged.
You must always run it by me, got that?
Fine.
Get better soon.
Bye.
Don't you do anything, okay?
Kim Tae Jin would like to speak with you.
- Kim Tae Jin? - Yes.
He says he has something to tell you in person.
What should I do?
What a bold scumbag.
- Bring him over. - Yes, sir.
What's wrong?
Nothing, sir.
I'm sorry.
Kim Tae Jin...
(Chairman Do Hak Sung)
You have something to tell me? What is it?
I've located...
Secretary Ju of Daebak Realty.
- Sit down. - No, sir.
- I said, sit down. - Thank you, sir.
Are you positive?
I am, sir.
You better be.
(Real Estate Agent License, Hong Ji A)
(Real Estate Agent License, Hong Mi Jin)
- Hello. - Hello.
I'd like to sell a building.
I see. Have you heard about us?
Yes, I have.
I can't pay the wages.
They would cook together.
But didn't I come later?
I was so shocked when you danced.
Don't you think so?
- Right? - You're right.
At first, I had a sore throat.
You're right.
- Right. - Right.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You cherished this house.
I'm sorry I failed to protect it.
It's nice and cozy.
It's too suffocating for me.
Care to switch places?
What an impudent wench.
I beg to differ.
I don't think you have any power here.
Do you think those cops...
will stop me from harming you?
I don't care what you know or have...
because I will kill you.
Do as you please.
But as you can see, I don't die that easily.
I've decided to let Ms. Hong...
carry out the exorcism.
How fascinating.
I'll soon find out...
what all this fuss is about.
Get better soon. Okay?
Mr. Jung.
Fancy seeing you here.
Ms. Ju, I knew you had a wide network,
but I didn't expect you to know a detective as well.
I believe...
you were leaving.
Right.
Are you okay?
Yes?
Yes. That's right.
- I'm going to do it. - Are you mad?
I'm completely sane.
And I have to do it at some point.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of it without any mistakes.
(Secretary Ju Hwa Jeong)
I guess you're feeling much better...
seeing how you called me to come here at this hour.
What is this about?
You must not perform an exorcism...
for your uncle.
That's a pretty insulting and ridiculous demand.
I don't know how to express my anger.
But I'll listen to your reason.
When you were possessed last time,
you broke Do Hak Sung's arm.
This time, you might kill him.
That's the consequence I'll have to face.
Whatever it is even if it's murder.
Don't talk as if you know everything when you know nothing.
An unrested spirit isn't like us.
Once they lose control,
not only Do Hak Sung, but everyone at the ritual will be in danger.
You might kill Ji A too.
If that's all need to tell me, I'll get going.
It's unfortunate that your uncle is still here...
as an unrested spirit.
But...
he could be paying for the crime he committed.
I cannot put Ji A in danger...
for someone like him.
I didn't want it 20 years ago and still don't.
(Changhwa Restaurant)
Where are you going?
A preliminary inspection.
What preliminary inspection?
You mean, the place where we'll meet Do Hak Sung tomorrow?
Isn't it obvious? Why would you ask that?
Why are you going there alone? It's dangerous!
We're partners.
Why do you always go around alone? Am I not helpful at all?
Get in.
(Daebak Realty)
I don't see any other spirits. This building is clean.
You met with Ms. Ju, didn't you?
Ms. Ju has a point.
How can we trust Do Hak Sung? He did try to kill us.
I doubt that he agreed because he believes in spirits.
He might have an ulterior motive.
But if we lose this chance, we might never get a chance.
If I were to only think about my uncle,
I want to send him off as soon as I can, but...
I can't put you in danger because of my greed.
Didn't I tell you?
I need your uncle's memory.
We might find a way if we keep thinking...
If this is too much for you, you can sit this one out.
I can do it with another psychic.
In fact, I didn't want you to take this case from the beginning.
The decision is yours.
In Bum.
Yes?
Can you skip this exorcism?
Let's ask Ms. Hong to find another psychic.
To be honest, I don't know what kind of memory you'll get.
And I'm worried his memory might...
bring you a lot of pain.
I know that I'm being selfish for asking.
But Ms. Hong is strong.
And she's been doing this for ten years.
I'm sure she has her way of dealing with it no matter how hard it is.
(Hong Mi Jin)
Mom, I'm almost there.
If I can get Oh Sung Sik's memory from that day,
I'll be able to find a way to send you off.
Give me a bit more time.
(Oh Sung Sik)
What? Did you think I wouldn't show up?
I didn't say anything.
What? You prepared everything by yourself.
Don't tell me you already called another psychic to replace me.
I have a special psychic.
Why would I?
Look at him. He's liking it.
Gosh.
Both of you. You must be careful. Okay?
(Daebak Realty)
Ms. Ju, they just left.
Okay. I got it.
(Mr. Jung)
Mr. Jung, it's me.
They are on their way up.
My gosh. This is some nice setup.
I said only you were allowed to come.
Do what she says.
She's the host tonight.
But let's tie him up before we begin.
What?
He was pretty rough last time. So I can't exactly trust him.
- No. - No?
Then, let's forget about this whole thing.
I can't even see the ghost anyway.
I don't care if the ghost stays or goes.
- Fine. - No.
- I'm fine. - I'm not fine with that.
If the unrested spirit loses control, it'll be dangerous.
Once I'm tied up, I won't be able to hurt people even if I want to.
That way, I'll feel rest assured.
You could end up getting hurt too.
An unrested spirit doesn't care about the psychic.
It only rushes out to get whatever it wants.
That's better than hurting others while I'm possessed.
I'd rather get hurt myself.
Now.
Uncle.
Give me my apartment!
My apartment! Give me my apartment!
What are you doing?
This can put you in danger too.
You're Oh Sung Sik right now?
Then tell me. What do you know?
You promised you'll give us an apartment unit.
You promised you'll give it to me...
if I set the town on fire.
You said that to me last time.
Wait.
Is that all?
Ms. Hong, I'm disappointed.
You risked your life and crawled in here,
so I thought you might have a voice recording or something.
You!
Stop it!
Hey!
Oh In Bum.
You must've heard a few things from your uncle as a kid.
But if you pull a scam on the great Do Hak Sung,
you die.
Okay?
Do you get it now? Do you?
Do you?
In Bum.
- In Bum. - In Bum.
The apartment unit! You promised.
You said you'll give it to me once I set the place on fire!
You!
You said you'll have it ready...
after I take a quick nap.
Then why did you kill me?
What?
Oh Sung Sik, you...
You! Give me my apartment!
Get her!
Mr. Chairman!
In Bum!
(Sell Your Haunted House)
I killed him 20 years ago. How can he come back to haunt me?
It was Oh Sung Sik!
You need to stop trying to find the truth of that day.
I'm sorry.
I put you in danger because of my stubbornness.
It's me. Can you do me a favor?
- Ji A said that? - She asked me...
to protect her while she sees Do Hak Sung.
You said you'll give me a unit if I set the place on fire.
So where is it?
You were the living egg ghost.
Everything you remember from that day isn't true.
Stop lying!
A regular exorcism ritual doesn't work on egg ghosts.
I'm going to find out...
exactly what happened on that day with my own two eyes.
