Tropical Storm Gini has arrived in Korea
as it advances north,

and a typhoon watch has been issued
all around the country.

Especially, Gyeonggi region
is experiencing heavy rain

of 30 to 40mm per hour

as well as strong wind,

which will cause
a considerable amount of damage.

Please take all precautionary measures
to reduce the damage from this storm.

I don't think anyone is here.

Why?

This was a novel I began to write
while I lived in this residence.

Yes.

Until the day I came to this place,

I always thought
the world I lived in was hell,

not this place.

However,

the real hell was this place.

A horrendous hell created by strangers.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

This place was hell.

A horrendous hell created by strangers.

How did I end up falling into this hell?

What did I ever do wrong?

-Goodness.
-I'm sorry.

Excuse me, sir. Sir!

Hey!

JI-EUN

-Hey, Ji-eun.
-Jong-u, did you arrive?

Why does he leave like that
even though I'm calling him out?

Man, the weather is awful.

Is something going on?
You don't sound too well.

What? No, it's nothing. Is it okay
for you to call? Aren't you at work?

-Oh, I'm working away from the office.
-You're out of the office?

I took on a new program,
so I'm meeting this reporter.

Right, that new TV show
you're in charge of?

Jong-u, I have to go now.
I'll call you later.

Seoul.

It's my laptop.

It's all shattered right here.

-That'll be 200,000 won.
-200,000 won?

-Yes.
-But the screen... It's just the screen.

-Hey, let's do this.
-Yes.

Just fix it for him at 180,000 won.

It's that expensive
to replace just the screen?

I'm practically giving it away to you.
Don't tell anyone else.

It costs over 300,000 won
at the official service center.

Then please do make sure you fix it well.

-Sure.
-Don't worry. I'll make it almost new.

Do make it look new, will you?

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

Excuse me, how much does it cost
to replace a laptop screen?

How big is it?

Mine's 15 inches.

It's 200,000 won,

but I'll do it for 150,000 won.

-For 150,000 won?
-Yes.

If you pay with cash,
I'll take off a little more.

Come and give it a try.
We're giving away prizes

no matter which mark you hit.

We're doing giveaways right now!

Come and give it a try.

We're giving away a laptop
for the first place winner!

Congratulations! You got fifth place.
Come and take your gift.

Congratulations!

May I try... Could I...

Of course, go ahead
and give it another try.

LUCKY DART GAME

I only won five last place gifts.

But still, it's pretty.

WUSANG RESIDENCE

It's that room in the end.

It's quiet and clean.

And it's very sunny, so you'll like it.
It's right here.

-How much do you charge?
-550,000 won.

Goodness.

ERASE NOTE

LOOKING FOR A ROOM?

MONTHLY RENT

190,000 WON

32 MINUTES, 15 STOPS, 1,450 WON

-Hello?
-Yes, this is Eden Residence.

I just saw... I called about the room
you're renting out. Is it still available?

Of course.

-Is your rent 190,000 won?
-Yes, it is.

Then I'll stop by in a little bit.

-Sure, see you soon.
-Yes.

EDEN RESIDENCE

How am I going to live
in a place like this?

This really isn't right.

EDEN RESIDENCE

LAND, FACTORY, STORAGE FOR SALE OR RENT
GORAE REAL ESTATE

-Are you the young man who just called?
-Yes.

Goodness, it must've been tough
to walk up in this hot weather.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't mention it. It's pretty desolate,
so first-time visitors all get confused.

Here, have this.

You had a great voice on the phone,
and you look handsome too.

-I...
-Look at how sweaty you are.

I saw that men's rooms and women's rooms
are separated here as I walked up.

You must have a lot of rooms.

No, that was ages ago.

Everyone left when the area was designated
for redevelopment, so only a few remains.

When will the redevelopment happen?

I heard they'll begin in six months.

Why? Are you here for the long haul?

No, I'll leave soon.

That's great news, then.

The rent only went down
because we're getting redeveloped.

We have a great facility here.

I'm always concerned about the health
of our residents... Gosh, that's room 302.

I think of our residents' health,
so I give out eggs for free

and make kimchi myself too.
See if this is for room 303.

-Is it?
-Yes, it is.

Why can't I see this?

I'm sure you shopped around.

You won't find a place like this.

Here. Take a look.

Goodness, there's garbage.

You won't find a place like this
with that price in Seoul.

You said you're leaving soon anyway.

Yes, I'll leave soon, but...

Even if this area will be redeveloped,
how can it be so cheap?

Goodness. My gosh.

I'm a deaconess at church,
so I really can't lie.

I'll be frank.

Someone who lived here before you
committed suicide.

What?

No, it didn't happen in this room.

Gosh, I don't want to do my business
by fooling others,

so that's why I'm telling you.

Are you not from Seoul?

I came from another town.

-I see. Are you a college student?
-No, I work.

Really? You looked so young
that I thought you were in college.

-I...
-What's with you?

Stop blocking my way in this hot weather.

Mr. An, why are you like that again?

Turn on the air conditioner already.
I'm going to die from this heat.

I mean, he could just slide by.
Why is he getting so angry?

Goodness, that thug or something
is really getting on my nerves.

-Young man, don't worry.
-Okay.

He'll be gone soon.

He'll be leaving.

Come this way.
I'll make some iced coffee for you.

You can give it a thought
while you drink that.

Everyone else is nice other than that guy.

I see.

Here, have some.

So? Did you make your decision?

Okay. What? Yes, right here.

Yes, right here. Okay. Okay, good.
You made a good choice.

Okay, then. Take this.

You can go to that room you saw, room 303.

This is a spare key, so don't lose it.

Yes.

Make yourself at home and relax.

And you share the restroom
and the shower with everyone.

-It might be troublesome, but just use it.
-Okay.

-Everyone here ended up doing well.
-Okay.

Do have a good life here.

Nice to meet you.

Don't mention it. Nice to meet you too.

Goodness, that's noisy.

Hello.

Do you have something to say?

That... That isn't your room.

Your room is... right here.

Do you live here?

I'll be living here starting today.

The bed is creaking.

It's moldy, and it smells like... Gosh.

And I get barely any sunlight in here.

Okay, I'll stay here for just six months

until I save up enough for key money.

I won't find another place like this
at this price.

Yes, Mom.

Jong-u, did you arrive well?

Yes, I got here well.

How's your friend's place?
Is it all right?

It's fine.

Be good to your friend.

Okay. Don't mind me.

-One second. Who is it?
-Oh, okay. You must be busy.

Open the door.

-Mom, I'll call you later.
-Okay. Make sure you eat well.

Okay, bye. Bye.

-Yes?
-There are rules to communal living.

Pardon?

If you're going to make a call,
do it outside.

Wait, I... I just... Did that sound...

Didn't you just make a call?

You just heard me?

Right, I'm sorry.

Don't let me catch you again.

What's with him?

That kid keeps getting on my nerves.

You crazy idiot!

Hey, Ji-eun.

Hey, Jong-u. Did you find a residence?

Yes, I did.

I see. Where is it?

-Eunhyeon-gu.
-Eunhyeon-gu?

Isn't that too far from Daehak-ro?

It's okay. It's not that far.
It only takes about half an hour.

And it's pretty close
to where you live too.

Okay, then. I'm glad if you're glad.

When do you get off work today?

-If it's okay, I'll be there after--
- Room 303 guy?

Goodness, sorry, keep talking.

I'm sorry, Jong-u.
I wanted to see you today too.

But it's my boss's birthday,
so we're having a company dinner.

I see.

You have to move in today,
and tomorrow is your first day at work.

You should get some rest today,
and we can meet tomorrow. Is that okay?

Sure, I'll be in Seoul from now on,
so we can meet more often from now on.

Okay, bye.

Handsome young man, are you here
to take a tour of the rooftop?

Yes.

Don't you like it?

Sure.

Goodness, right.
I forgot to mention this before.

There are women's rooms
on the fourth floor,

but no one lives there anymore.

I had to renovate this place
because of a fire,

but the economy is pretty bad,
so I can't even take out a loan.

So don't go in there. You'll get hurt.

Okay.

"A man

with an odd gait is

walking down

an alley.

In the black plastic bag

he's holding

in his hand"...

Hey, kitty. Hi.

You're so pretty.

Mr. Byun,
you must be feeling great today.

Well, I... I just...

You must feel great today too.

You need to be quiet at night.

It's troublesome for others.

Okay. I... I'll be... I'll be quiet.

As... As if I'm dead.

That... That looks good. Coffee.

Sure.

FAITH CHURCH

-What's that?
-Hello.

Goodness, give this to me. This is...

Young man, have you been
fooling around somewhere?

I was just adoring it.

Goodness, you're going to kill them all.
You'll kill them all.

My goodness, he'll end up hurting himself.

I won't take that from you.

Why... Why are you hesitating?

Just... Just cut that thing off.

Hey, that's unfair.

Hey, sir.

Do you know what's good about
a residence like this?

It's that even if someone dies here,

absolutely no one

will care about that.

Babe, wake up.

Hey, Jae-ho.

Where are you? You should've called me
as soon as you got to Seoul.

Right, I'm sorry.
I've been looking for a room.

Right, I see. Did you find a place?

Yes, I found a residence in Eunhyeon-gu.

Why are you whispering?

This place isn't soundproof at all.

Come out. Let's grab some beer.

Where should I meet you?

It's a place in Daehak-ro...
I'll text you the address.

Okay, text me.

Darn it.

Man.

EDEN RESIDENCE
4TH FLOOR, WOMEN ONLY

My gosh, hey.

What are you doing? Hey.

Hey. There was a fire here,
so no one lives here anymore.

I mean, you can't shoot me with this.

Don't you know that it's dangerous?

Hey, and

I came up because I heard something
from up here. By any chance...

Did you hear the sound of a ghost?

Goodness, that's frightening.

Jeong-hwa, isn't it hot?

Let's just call a tow truck.

Mr. Park, start the car. Hurry. Hurry up.

-We can just call--
-Come on, Mr. Park.

You must be really hot.

Good.

Let's go.

Jeong-hwa, the engineering major.

No, the goddess of engineering.

-Let's go.
-Let's hurry. Let's go.

Hello. We received a report.

Why are you so late?

I'm sorry. Our car broke down
on the way. Where is it?

It's that black plastic bag.

I kept smelling something weird
and came out to find that. Gosh.

-It's that again?
-Yes, it's a cat.

-A dead cat?
-Yes.

It's the tenth time this month.

Man, who's doing this?

See? There's no security camera here.
This person knows their way around here.

That's a possibility.

Yes, so please put one up.

I can't live with this anxiety.

You shouldn't be asking us.

File a civil complaint
with the district office.

And call the cleaning department of
the district office to take care of this.

Officer. Is that something
a police officer should say?

-I mean, it's--
-We'll contact the district office

and take care of this,
so don't worry and go home.

Please get rid of it now.
It gives me the creeps.

Goodbye.

Are we some kind of cat morticians?

Mr. Park, wasn't it like this
three months ago

during the pension murder case?

-Back then? Like what?
-Yes.

The cats around there began to die off,
then someone got murdered.

Man, people like that should be destroyed.

They're the problem.

Hey, go to a dentist
and pull out that tooth.

A lot of places are open late nowadays.

I don't have to go to a dentist over this.

-Man.
-You should probably go see a dentist.

No, that's not what's important.

Do you know the Kang Chi-sun case?

Did you know
that he killed and ate his pet dog?

Psychopaths...

Psychopaths are unable to keep a pet

-because they can't sympathize.
-Darn it. You're too persistent.

And most serial murderers...

And most serial murderers

have abused animals before
according to research.

That's why we're at a point
where we must investigate this case.

-You need to see how this is weird.
-Okay.

I mean, think about
that pension murder case.

Those cats began to die off first.

Was the culprit practicing or what?

Jeong-hwa, go see a dentist first--

No, I'm not going. I'm not.

That's not what is important now.

Our night hours are over,
but the director is doing it just for you.

Aren't you open until 10:00 p.m.?

Only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

-Officer So Jeong-hwa?
-Yes.

I just got a call from Corporal Park.

-From Mr. Park?
-Yes.

I'll get her. You two can go home.

-It's all right.
-Really?

Yes, you're dismissed.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

All right, let's see.

Goodness, your cavity looks bad.
You'll need nerve treatment.

Does... Does that hurt a lot?

I guess police officers are scared
of dentists too.

Goodness, no.

Right, so does it hurt?

-I'll make sure it doesn't.
-Okay.

I'll anesthetize you first.

-Doctor, can... Can you do it slowly?
-Sure.

Open your mouth.

SAEMTEO DENTAL CLINIC,
EUNHYE PATROL DIVISION

Take these precautions,
and this is your prescription.

So? It didn't hurt at all, did it?

No, oddly.

But you have to return next week
to receive your nerve treatment.

Can you come at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday?

Yes, I can make that.

-I'll make your reservation.
-Okay.

Anyway, you must be close
to Corporal Park.

We met while volunteering.

I'm sorry you couldn't go home
because of me. Thank you.

Goodness, you do harder work than me.
I should be grateful for you.

-Please excuse me, then.
-Sure, bye. Goodbye.

Hey, I'm having a tough time

running my business on a loan too.

No one runs a business
with their own money.

How much can you borrow? That's important.
Anyway, congrats on coming to Seoul.

It's all thanks to you.

Bottoms up.
Let's drink until we drop dead.

Do you still write and stuff?

Yes.

Goodness, man. You haven't given up yet?

Goodness. Anyway, what's your next story?

I'm writing a crime series.

You have such a pretty face,

but your head is filled
with stuff like that.

You really are something.
What have you done in Seoul?

I looked for a room, then I--

Why don't you live with Ji-eun?

It'll be great to live with her.
You can kiss her and stuff.

It has been forever since I met her.
Let's call her.

She's having a company dinner
for her boss's birthday.

-Birthday?
-Yes.

Who cares if it's her boss's birthday?
Is she forced to be there?

This is why people say
the Korean office culture is so ancient.

Hey, that never happens at our company.

We're completely free-spirited.
You'll love that for sure.

You've always been free-spirited.

That's true. How's your residence?

It's unbelievably tiny.
And it's not soundproof at all.

And we share the restroom.

I heard some residences these days
have restrooms in the room.

Places like that are too expensive.
How can I rent a place like that?

Is it? Hold out for a little while.

I'll give you a full-time job
after your internship ends.

Anyway, you seem pretty amazing now.
You became a CEO.

Come on. It's nothing.

But you're already a CEO of a company.

I'm just making money.

Anyway, let's say
Ji-eun wants to marry you.

But if you don't have enough money and
can't marry her, she'll break up with you.

That happens often around...

You just frowned.
And you frowned before too.

No, I didn't.

It's because
you keep bringing up weird stories.

Weird stories?

No.

Not at all.

My gosh, man.
You're still that feisty kid.

Let's go grab a smoke.
Were you just scared?

I think you were.

Do you think I'm your friend?
How dare you speak like that to me?

-You jerk.
-I didn't say that.

Do you have a lighter?

I don't smoke anymore.

-Really?
-No.

You're very determined.

Hey, Jong-u. You need to work really hard.

You know that young people now
can't find jobs, right?

People that have amazing backgrounds
asked me for a job,

-but I chose you.
-Thank you.

-Do a good job.
-Of course.

I adore you so much, don't I?

I told all my employees
that you're very skillful, so do well.

-I'll do my best.
-And stop frowning.

Okay.

Why is he showing off so much? Damn it.

What's with you? Hey. You.

He might end up killing him.

Jae-ho, isn't that too much?
We should probably stop them.

Let them be. It's best to stay away
from other people's problems these days.

I saw them smoking, so I asked if I can
borrow the lighter, but they said no.

I should probably make a report.

Fine, jerks. Stop meddling with them
and stay still, will you?

If you get into their fight,
they might end up blaming you later.

Let's go.

Jong-u, what are you looking at?

Stop it!

Hey, stop. Stop it, jerk!

-Hey!
-I said, stop it!

Stop it! Stop! Stop it!

Here. Are you okay?

Thank you.

Man, you look like a young gentleman,

but you really are something. Aren't you?

Hey, round two is on me too. Let's go.

Jae-ho.

Please excuse me today.

What are you talking about?
I emptied my schedule tonight for you.

Hey! Yoon Jong-u!

I'll buy you a drink next time.

I get it, so come here. Yoon Jong-u!

Come here.

I said, come.

Taxi!

Use this for the ride.

-I'll take the bus.
-Just get in.

Be at work on time tomorrow.

Here. Darn you. Here. Be there on time.

Goodness, some drunkards
got into a fight again.

Do you know the theory that humans are
innately evil? I think that's right.

Look at how cruel babies are.

They rip apart bugs and kill them
with an innocent smile on their face.

There's this saying, you know.

"Strangers are from hell."

-Excuse me, sir.
-Yes?

I'm sorry, but I'm kind of tired.

Goodness, you're too young to be tired.

EDEN RESIDENCE

What are you doing?

How do you feel?

About what?

When you stand here like that,
doesn't it feel like

you're in a long tunnel
that you'll never escape?

What on earth is he suddenly saying?

I think I'll be able to escape.

You're funnier than you look.

Is he picking a fight or what?

Do you want to borrow my toothpaste?

He's not stuttering.

Oh, okay.

Let me borrow your shampoo too.

-Hey, are you making ramyeon ?
-Yes.

Make some for me too.

You'd better be careful.

Did you know
that room 313 was here just now?

Room 313?

Yes, he stood here
watching you draw water just now.

What?

Room 313, that pervert.

-Are you going to add the eggs?
-Yes.

-You should never do that.
-Why not?

Try breaking one, then.

The owner lady brings
some rotten eggs from somewhere

just to show off to us.

How many are you having?

Cook just five packets.

-How old are you?
-I'm 26.

You're much younger than me.
Bring some kimchi.

People say you should suffer
when you're younger, but that's a lie.

If you get stuck in a loony bin like this,

even normal people will go insane.

Everyone who lives here is insane.

I'm leaving next week.

I'm going back to my hometown
to run a fishing hole or something.

What am I saying to a kid like you?

Hey, kid. Be careful of the guy next door.

You seem like a baby brother,
so let me warn you.

Do not get friendly with the people here.
Get out of here as soon as possible.

Did you see those people's eyes?

You never know
what guys like them will end up doing.

Hey. You're good at cooking ramyeon .

You... You must have had some ramyeon .

Why... Why are you so shocked?

Gosh. Let me get some sleep!

Hey, room 306.
Stop going around making weird sounds.

I... I'm sorry.

Did you see those people's eyes?

You never know
what guys like them will end up doing.

At that moment, I ended up taking out

all the stress from my day on him.

What are you looking at?

I shouldn't have done that.

I said, what are you looking at?

Man, what a shithead.

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Do you want me to kill you already?

Okay. How do you want me to kill you?

Babe, tell me.

Where are you going?
Come here, you jerk. I said, come.

Come here. Come. Come!

-Ouch!
-What did you mess with in my room?

-Why did you get in here? Why?
-I... I didn't...

-Show me your hand. Show me.
-It wasn't me.

Show me. Stand up straight.
What did you take from my room?

Why did you come into my room?

I... I didn't. I really didn't do it.

What did you take? Hey. What was it?

I seriously didn't do it!

Of course, you did.

What are you going to do if it wasn't me?
Do you want to bet your hand?

Is... Is something funny going on,
Deuk-su?

Are you two trying to tease me?

What? They were twins?

You need to give me your hand now, right?

Then you'll give me your leg.

-Damn it. Move aside. I said, move aside.
-Sir, calm down.

Move aside before I beat you up.

What's going on?

Calm down.

Who do you think you are?

We're all neighbors here, aren't we?

It's because he keeps on coming
into my room!

Did you see him go into your room?

Mr. Byun, did you go into his room?

Are you all joking around as a group?

Why would I go in there?
I have my own room!

You little jerk.

Calm down. We have a new guy here too.

They already knew

that this place was hell.

I heard things got rowdy last night.

That gangster guy just told me
he'll be leaving.

There are only
good young men here now, right?

I'm Yoon Jong-u,
and it's my first day here.

-Did you greet him?
-I met him just now.

It must belong to the person
who lived here before.

Are you sure you're all right?

You ended up giving me too much to do.

I'll be busy.

I'm going straight home after work today.

I want to see you.

You should apologize.

People get the wrong idea
because you keep laughing like that.

You shouldn't cause trouble for others.

Yes... Yes. I'm sorry, sir.

Will you accept his apology?

I know you're all in the same crowd.

What crowd?

Go back inside. You can't do this
just because you lived here for long.

It's not always like this around here.
You must be shocked.

Oh, it's okay.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes. I have to be at work tomorrow,
so please excuse me.

-I see. So you work.
-Yes.

You looked so young
that I thought you were a student.

Goodbye.

Should I just cut it off?

Young man.

Goodness, why are you so shocked?

You're too young to be that surprised.
Maybe you have a weak spirit.

Is there something you need to say?

I heard things got rowdy last night.
I'm sorry about that.

We're usually dead silent though.

It can happen when a lot of people
live together. It's fine with me.

-Thanks for being so considerate.
-Sure.

But that gangster guy

just told me he'll be leaving.

So don't worry about it.

Oh, I see.

I mean, to be frank,
he was really scary, wasn't he?

When I'm sitting in my office,

he'd look at me with these evil eyes.

-It just felt so--
-Well, I...

I'm sorry, but I have to get to work.
Please excuse me.

Sure. Go now.

Young man.

There are only good young men
left here now, right?

-You must be going to work.
-Goodness.

-Are you going to work?
-Yes.

Where do you work?

At the Daehak-ro area.

That's pretty far.

Yes.

Hey, isn't it hot?

What's with him?
He's just giving me that creepy smile.

Have a great day at work.

Sure.

CAT KILLING SPREE

6TH DEAD CAT, 13TH DEAD CAT
2ND DEAD CAT

"Eunhye-dong cat killing spree"?

Yes.

If you get concerned
over every little thing,

you won't be able
to deal with your job later.

Yes, I just get easily worried.

-We still shouldn't let it slide easily.
-What's she saying?

Then let it slide with difficulty.

A total of 13 cats died over just a month,
and they died brutally.

-Where are you going?
-To the scene.

What scene? Are you going
to the place where those cats died?

Yes.

I knew you'd do that.

Officer Cho, you know that Jeong-hwa is
the busiest one in our division, right?

And for no reason.

-Jeong-hwa, should I come with you?
-No, it's fine.

It's way too hot today. Don't go out.

Forget it and let's have some cup ramyeon .
Bring it with hot water in it.

Su-bok, you make it yourself.
That's going on a power trip.

-We're eating it together.
-I'll be back.

-We are?
-Forget it if not.

POLICE

203-3 YEONJI-DONG, HYEHWA-GU, SEOUL

This is it.

What is it?

I'm starting my internship today.

-Internship?
-Yes.

-I haven't heard anything.
-Really?

Mr. Shin Jae-ho?

Excuse me, there's a delivery...
I'll have it.

His rudeness is pretty offensive.

-Excuse me, who are you?
-Good morning.

-Jae-ho, you're here.
-Hello.

He must be new. New and fresh.

Hey, man. Call me Mr. Shin at work.

Everyone, say hello to him.

This is Mr. Yoon Jong-u,
my junior from school I told you about.

Oh, your junior.

I'm Yoon Jong-u, and
it's my first day here. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
I'm Ko Sang-man, a manager.

-Hello.
-I'm Son Yu-jeong, a designer.

Mr. Park Byeong-min, Did you greet him?

I met him just now.

Byeong-min, do look after this guy.

He's a smart guy, so he'll be
pretty useful after a bit of training.

You can sit by Mr. Park.

Let's have our weekly meeting
in ten minutes.

-Yes.
-Jong-u.

Damn it, it didn't get charged again. Man.

Jae-ho, that guy seems pretty weird.

-Who? Helmet?
-Helmet?

-He has a huge head.
-Yes, you're right.

But he's good at his job.

If you humor him, he'll treat you well.
So try to be cute.

You're a type who can easily get on

-your seniors' good side.
-Okay.

Hey, your life in college or the army
aren't truly the start of your adulthood.

It's right here. Your work.

-Hold yourself back and work...
-Yes.

-...even if you get annoyed.
-Okay.

You can't make living
by picking up dimes on the ground.

Okay, Jae-ho. Oh, right. I mean, Mr. Shin.

-Just call me Jae-ho when we're alone.
-Okay.

Wait here. I'm going to the restroom.

-What's that?
-What?

It looks like someone spit on you.

Gosh. Man, it was that guy.

-What? Who did it?
-Man.

This guy I met in front of my residence.

Man, what is this?

There are a lot of weird guys. Goodness.

Do you remember those guys who went to
the emergency room in front of that bar?

They were strangers, drinking separately,
and they got into a fight saying,

"What are you looking at?"
"No, what are you looking at?"

Isn't that absurd? He would've died there
if it wasn't for you.

That guy who spat on you is probably...
You know.

He probably can't control his anger.
You just need to ignore guys like that.

You also lose your temper at times,
so be careful.

And don't frown when I'm around.

What are you looking at?

Man, what a shithead.

What was that?

My knife.

Let go of me. Let go.

It's your turn, sir.

Damn it.

EDEN RESIDENCE
4TH FLOOR, WOMEN ONLY

Let's see.

Hello?

-Are you the owner of car number 9688?
-Yes.

This is Officer So Jeong-hwa
from the Eunhye Patrol Division.

May I check your dashcam?

-That's Yuseon Stationery.
-Pardon?

It's across the bowling alley
at the intersection. You don't know?

Right, the intersection.

-I mean, do you see that intersection?
-Yes.

-The hair salon.
-Yes.

-Take a right there.
-A right.

Yes, then you keep going from there.

There are a lot of teenage students
with shaved heads during that hour.

-Yes, I see. May we fast forward?
-Sure.

-Wait, stop.
-Okay.

This guy. Does he come here often?

Oh, this guy?

He lives over there.
The redevelopment district.

The redevelopment district?

I heard almost everyone moved out.

What was that residence called again?

Was it Eaden? Eden? Something like that.

There's a place like that around here?

It's quite deserted, so even those
who live around here don't really know.

It's up there.

Eden Residence.

EDEN RESIDENCE

Excuse me.

-What brings a police officer here?
-Hello.

-You're sweating so much. It must be hot.
-No, it's all right.

-Enjoy the cool air.
-It's okay.

-Are you the landlord?
-Yes, why?

I wanted to ask you something.

This man right here.
He lives here, doesn't he?

Yes, he lives in room 306.

So he lives here?

Yes, he does. He lives in this residence.

But why?

Well, I wanted to ask him something.

Goodness, again?

My gosh, I kept telling him to stop,
but I guess he did it again.

He's a nice guy,
but he's not in his right senses.

Room 306! Come on out!

There's a police officer lady here.

I told you, didn't I?

You'll be punished badly
if you do that to a poor animal.

No... No. I... I adored it.

I got one for you when I bought one.
It was cheap. And buy one get one free.

-I already have one, so it's okay.
-I see.

They're pretty.

But they'll look better on Jong-u.

Mr. Park, may I give them to him?

-Jong-u, you don't have slippers, do you?
-Yes?

-No, I don't. But...
-Try these on.

Come on, try them on.
It's okay. It's all right.

They look great on you.
You look so cute in them.

Yu-jeong. He has a girlfriend.
Don't flirt with him.

What did I do?

Gosh, Jong-u.
You're so popular. Good for you.

The unpopular guy is going out
for a meeting.

-See you later.
-See you.

Sir, if you keep killing those cats,

you may get up to 2 years in prison
or 20 million won of fine

for violating the Animal Protection Law.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Sir, please stop playing around.

Sir, you can't shoot a gun
at a police station.

Sir, please don't play around.
You killed 13 of them. 13 cats.

You brutally killed 13 cats.

Don't you feel bad for them? Don't you?

I... I didn't kill 13 cats.

-What?
-Officer So?

I... I killed one.

Stop playing around and sit right there.

Corporal Park said there's no evidence
that he killed all of them.

Sir. Come here.

-According to the previous reports,
-Come here, sir.

the cats were mostly burnt or blackened.

Isn't this a bit different?

Exactly. I think that's why
we need to investigate this.

How are we going to investigate this?

Look at him. There's no talking to him.

-You can have one.
-Give him a fine and send him back.

Captain.

Aren't you going to do other duties?

Please don't shoot. Give me that gun.

-Sir!
-Guns...

If you do this again,

you'll be sent to prison. Okay?

I... I'm sorry, Officer.

Okay. Don't do that.
And you shouldn't shoot officers...

I mean, other people. Okay?

-I... I won't--
-Let him go.

Yes, sir.

You may go now, sir. Get up.

Come on.

Oh. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Captain, I understand,
but you can't send him back like that.

I do feel bad for the cats, but...

How many complaints
have we been getting for dead cats?

It's honestly a lot. Isn't that so?

Whatever. I had one too many drinks
last night, so my stomach hurts.

-Hey... Hey, kitty. Kitty.
-You can take this.

Kitty. Kitty.

Thanks.

-Officer Cho.
-Yes, sir?

Put this up.

We have fingerprints on our database
to prevent missing cases,

so we can just look it up
if this person is registered.

That only goes for children
and old people with dementia.

Hey, let me see.

MISSING: KUMAIL, MALE, AGE 37
NATIONALITY: PAKISTAN

What? Mount Bong near Eunhye 1-dong?

Su-bok, isn't this near Eden Residence?

EDEN RESIDENCE

Man, I'll just cut open your throat.

But you bet your hand.

Are you scared?

Are you? You are, aren't you?
Are you scared?

Man, I would've cut you to death already
if it hadn't been for that guy.

I heard you were taken
to the police station.

They asked me questions at...
at the police station,

so I kept saying I didn't know anything.

Then they just told me to go.

Those stupid people had no idea.

I told you to be careful
so he wouldn't find out.

No... No one found out though.

I'm not talking about the police.
Don't let that guy catch you, idiot.

I... I understand.

Okay.

It has been an hour,
but they don't ask me to do anything.

Mr. Park. What should I do?

Mr. Park?

Yes, sir. this is Son Yu-jeong.
Have you had lunch yet?

-Did you check the last email?
-Mr. Park, do you need me to do anything?

There's nothing for you to do.

Nothing?

If you have nothing to do,
go make me some coffee.

Coffee? Okay.

That's what you mean, right?
Okay, I got it.

On that day? I can do that.

I'll give you a call after I check.

All right.

Mr. Park, your coffee.

Did you spit in this?

What? No way.

Take this.
That performance will be held next month.

Try to write up a press release.

You can look up on the internet
how to write... You know,

references, so you can use that.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Shin said you're smart.
Let's see how good you are.

Pardon?

WOMEN'S SLIPPERS

Women's slippers?

He likes her?

-Jong-u.
-Yes?

We'll forward our office number
to your number from now on.

-I see.
-We get a lot of calls after our hours.

Okay.

Then don't get flustered,

-just pick it up, and take care of it.
-Yes.

Ask Mr. Park if you have any questions.

Yes.

-Hey, Jong-u.
-Yes?

-Will you keep doing that?
-What?

I mean, you don't have to stand up
to listen like an elementary school kid.

-You can sit.
-Yes.

We got an elementary school kid.

Okay, look over here.

Take a toothbrush,
brush down and up, then top-down.

And then from inside to out.

You can start with your gum
and brush your teeth like this. Okay?

Okay.

You'll be in pain
if you don't brush your teeth well.

You have to keep your promise with me.

Okay.

He just has to manage his teeth well.
You don't have to worry.

Thank you so much, doctor.

He cries and makes a huge scene
if he goes to another dentist.

But he's so good
whenever he comes to see you.

He likes you a lot.
He says you're very cool.

I see.

Okay.

I want to see you.

I'm going straight home after work today.

Let's wrap up the day and go home.

Did you think I'd say that? Let's have
a company dinner. It's Jong-u's first day.

Something came up at home, so...

You thought I'd say that, right?

I'm all for it.

I actually have plans today, so--

Jong-u, you just say yes
and follow as a new guy.

-That's it.
-Yes, sir.

He said yes right away. So cute.

Yu-jeong, stop hitting on a guy
who has a girlfriend.

-Why not? You never know. Right, Mr. Ko?
-What's wrong with you?

You're way too confident. Let's go.

Good for you, Jong-u. You're so popular.

It's not like that.

I think his face turned red. He's so cute.

He's so full of himself.

Ji-eun. Write up the cue sheet
for the production presentation

of the new variety show
before you go home today.

-Yes. Wait, ma'am.
-Yes?

But Bo-min is in charge of that.

Do you think I asked you because
I didn't know? She took a sick day.

-Do that for me.
-But still...

We didn't divide up our duties
for nothing.

Ji-eun. I'm asking you for a favor

because you're the most trustworthy.
Don't you get it?

But Ji-eun, at times you...
How can I put this?

You don't seem very friendly.
Don't you think so?

Yes, okay. I'm sorry.

And don't frown over something like that.
That makes both of us feel bad.

Come on, brighten up. Show me a smile.
We're all working hard, okay?

Send me the email. Bye.

JONG-U: I'M SORRY, JI-EUN. I DON'T THINK
WE CAN MEET TODAY. IT'S A COMPANY DINNER.

OKAY, KEEP IT UP

IS SOMETHING...

I'LL CALL YOU ONCE WE'RE DONE

Exactly. Who knew
I'd be here working at an office?

Jong-u. I heard you used to write.

He's an awfully good writer.

We called him a genius author
in our department.

-Really?
-Of course!

Professors adored him so much
and said he will become

the new leader of Korean literature.

No, there are numbers of authors
who are leading Korean literature--

What do you mean? This world

just hasn't noticed
a genius artist like you.

Wait, you went to the finals
of the Spring Literary Contest--

-Hey, don't bring that up.
-Why did you fail again?

-Anyway, what was it called?
-Stop it. Mr. Shin.

Anyway, everyone! This genius

is sitting here doing his internship.
Do you know how heartbreaking this is?

He had such a tough time
writing his stuff.

For three years, in the club room...
Did you take time off because of tuition?

Anyway, he practically lived
at the club room for three years.

-He had a tough time like that.
-Really?

But he's now living at a residence again.
It breaks my heart.

Hey, Yoon Jong-u! Forget about literature.
Money is the best. Just quit, you idiot!

This field is completely rotten!
What art? That's complete nonsense.

You're just living off others' hard work.

I've had drinks with artists already.

Who do you think you are
to tell me to quit?

Just quit. Just quit, will you?
This field is completely rotten.

There's no need for you to do anything
with people like that.

-Hey. Hey, you.
-Stop it.

Do you think writing that will change
the world or what?

-Let's go for round two.
-Goodness.

Mr. Shin, we have to work tomorrow.
We don't need to drink more.

-Let's stop here.
-Don't come to work tomorrow, then.

-Why are you so drunk today?
-I'm not drunk!

-Goodbye, then.
-He must be happy to have you here.

-Goodbye.
-Okay. Let's go.

Do you want to grab
another drink together?

Okay, sure.

I'll get going.
I haven't had enough sleep.

-Really?
-Yes.

That's disappointing.

Then I'll just go home too.

-There's a cart bar over there.
-Jong-u, where do you live?

I live in Eunhyeon-gu.

That's exactly the opposite of my place.

It would've been great to share a taxi.
It wouldn't be boring.

-I'll get going. See you tomorrow.
-Bye.

Well, I'll get going too.

-Hey, intern.
-Yes?

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Stop showing off just because
you're friends with the CEO. Okay?

-What do you mean?
-Stop showing off, you jerk!

I need to hold back. Hold it back. Gosh!

CALLING
DETECTIVE CHA

-Hello?
-Detective, this is An Hui-jung.

An Hui-jung! Where are you?

-Some crazy guys are trying to kill me.
-Hey. Hey!

I told you to keep your eyes on him.

I'm sorry.

I was too hungry.

Why are you two fighting?

Have you had dinner?

I told the new young man
that only good people are left here now.

What is this?

If you're going to keep this up, move out!

I'm sorry, Ms. Um.

I can't believe you boys are
sitting around and fighting each other.

Go repent. Repent!

I... I will be careful too.

So Jeong-hwa, 9 p.m. Thank you.

-Officer So.
-Hello.

Your appointment isn't today.

Something suddenly came up,
so I had to change it last minute.

The doctor on the night shift today
won't hurt you as much as I did.

I hope your procedure goes well.

Oh, okay. Are you going on a date?

I'm meeting someone important.

I don't know who it is, but I'm jealous.

-See you later, then.
-Yes.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

DENTAL CLINIC

It has only been a day,
but I don't want to go in there.

-You must be coming home now.
-Yes.

Have you had dinner?
Do you want me to fry you some eggs?

No, I had a company dinner.
It's all right.

I just boiled some eggs. Do you want one?

It tastes wonderful with a bit of salt.

My stomach is a little upset.

-Your stomach is upset?
-Yes.

Then I'll prick your finger for you.

-You'll feel better right after.
-It's not that bad.

-Please excuse me.
-Sure.

Let me know whenever.
I'll prick your finger right away.

Goodness, why does he have
an upset stomach?

Why does she keep telling me
to eat those eggs?

Man, this room is unbelievably tiny.

Man, I have nothing to do now.

Gosh.

THANK YOU
THANK YOU

What?

It must belong to the person
who lived here before.

DIE, DIE, DIE

DIE, DIE, DIE

Could it be...

Even if this place will be redeveloped,
how can it be so cheap?

I'll be frank.

Someone who lived here before you
committed suicide.

Just forget it.
I'll have a can of beer and go to sleep.

JI-EUN, DID YOU GET OFF WORK?

Yes, hello?

Yes, isn't this JH Contents?

Pardon? Oh, yes. Yes, you're right.

Hey, Yu-jeong used to pick up the phone.
You must be new.

Oh, yes. I'm Yoon Jong-u, the intern.

I see, Im Jong-u.

-No, it's Yoon Jong--
-Okay, Im Jong-u, I get it.

Can you text me the information
on Dachimban's performances?

Goodness, right... Right now?

Yes, please hurry. Thanks.

Where is it?

-Goodness, who are you?
-My gosh.

-Hello, I'm a police officer.
-A police officer?

By any chance, do you know this man?

I was going to file a report
if he didn't show up by tomorrow. Wait.

Who? This guy?

-I mean, that guy.
-Yes?

He hasn't paid any of his rent.

-His rent?
-Yes, he's behind on his rent,

-then he just ran away today.
-He lives here?

Yes, he does. In room 310.

-In room 310? Let me see room 310, then.
-Yes.

Goodness, I was betrayed so much...
Come here. Come inside.

I've been betrayed so much
by the people I trust.

Why is it so dark in here?

Goodness, there's no use in keeping
the hallway light in this economy.

-Come this way. It's a waste.
-Is this it?

-Yes. Goodness. He got drunk...
-Man, this idiot.

-...and began to break everything.
-Okay.

Then he threatened his next door,
saying he'll kill him or something.

I should've kicked him out already,
but I'm too soft-hearted.

-Did he disappear today?
-He got drunk last night

-and beat up the guy next door.
-He hit him?

Yes, I got angry and told him to leave.

I guess he thought it was his chance
to leave and he ran out of here.

-Who did he beat up?
-The guy next... Goodness.

Room 306, come here.

-He's here?
-Yes.

He's here to take the guy in room 310,
so come and tell him.

-It's this guy.
-Hello.

Yes, he suddenly said

I'm being way too loud,
then slapped my face.

-He stutters.
-I told him to stop,

but you know what he's like, officer.

He has... He has scars and a scary face.

He's saying he's scary. Great job.

Is it funny that you got beaten up?

Is that funny? Wasn't he beaten up?

He's not in his right mind.

All right, then. Give me a call

once he comes back.
We'll look for him too.

He beat someone up, didn't pay his rent,
then ran away. You need to find him.

You can file a report
with the police station.

You're telling me to file a report?
My goodness.

How do you know this man?

My gosh, it looks like
he got into huge trouble.

Hey, wait.

Do you live here? At this residence?

Yes.

I'm a detective.

-Okay.
-Yes.

Do you know this man?

-He's--
-Do you know him?

No, I wouldn't say I know him.

We talked a few times, that's all.
I just moved in.

I see.

Did you find anything
out of the ordinary about him?

-Out of the ordinary?
-Yes.

Did he seem different,
or did he do anything weird?

Did something happen to him?

What?

Why do you suddenly ask?

I mean, a detective is here
looking for him.

Oh, that's not the case.

He's on the wanted list,

-but he called asking for help.
-What?

He said someone's trying to kill him.

-What? That's--
-Why? Do you remember something?

No, no.

He didn't seem to be on great terms
with the people who live here.

-With the people who live here?
-Yes.

What else? Anything else?

-This is... This is just my take.
-Okay.

He seemed to be a bit scared
of the people living here.

All right, then.

Please give me a call
if you remember anything else.

-Okay.
-Call me on that number.

-I'm sorry about that. Get a good rest.
-Sure.

Young man! I almost forgot.

-Yes?
-Take your delivery.

What?

-Ms. Um. Come on.
-What? What is it?

Did you... Ms. Um. Did you open this?

No, it wasn't me.

Room 313 opened it,
thinking that it was his.

That happens when you live in a place
with a lot of people.

Loosen up.

Let me see.

That guy who spat on you is probably...
You know.

He probably can't control his anger.
You just need to ignore guys like that.

Fine, just let it slide.

If he fixed the computer,

he should have turned it off.

Wait, did that pervert...

CHA SEONG-RYEOL

I'm leaving next week.

I'm going back to my hometown
to run a fishing hole or something.

Right, he said he'll be going back
to his hometown.

Where are you, Hui-jung?

No!

Do you want to play too?
Do you want to die?

He must be gone already.

You ended up giving me too much to do.

I'll be busy.

Whatever. I'm sure he'll be fine.

JI-EUN: I JUST GOT OFF FROM WORK.
I'M ON MY WAY HOME NOW.

I'm going straight home after work today.

I knew you were a big flop.

What I do is art,

not just murder.

Why...

So why did you do this
without my permission?

We have our rules.

Thanks for everything so far,

babe.

No. No. No way.

I'm sure people here aren't
in their right minds anyway.

Maybe you're a bit too sensitive.

-What?
-Jong-u, you must be tired.

Don't let it get to you, and go to sleep.

Ji-eun, it might sound like

I'm making a big deal out of nothing,
but if you come and see--

Jong-u, I'm really tired
from working long hours.

Let's talk again tomorrow.

Is that all right?

Okay, then.

Goodnight.

Okay, goodnight.

Are you the new guy?

Yes.

Ms. Um told me
that we have a new resident in room 303.

Yes.

Don't you like it here?

It's suffocating in that room
as if you're lying in a coffin.

But you feel a little better
if you grab a can of beer up here.

Yes, you're right.

Anyway, why do you keep smiling at me?

Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you.

No.

Just because.

-I like you.
-What?

I had this thought when I saw you.

That you might be one of my kind.

What?

You know, there are these people

who look perfectly fine on the outside
but have the desire to kill.

You can't open the door
without a key, right?

Yes, you can't.

I want to work
on the... the new guy already.

He looked really soft.

He said he was scared.

That some weird people are trying
to kill him.

Come to think of it,
that gangster guy is suddenly gone too.

Isn't this weird?

NO OUTSIDE VISITORS
ALLOWED IN THE RESIDENCE

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND INCIDENTS APPEARING
IN THIS FILM ARE FICTITIOUS

I see.

Okay.

I want to see you.

I'm going straight home after work today.

It sounds like fun.

You're here.

I'll manage this.

I knew you were a big flop.

What I do is art,

not just murder.

Why...

So why did you do this
without my permission?

We have our rules.

Thanks for everything so far.

Babe.

Are you the new guy?

Yes.

Ms. Um told me
that we have a new resident in room 303.

Yes.

Don't you like it here?

It's suffocating in that room
as if you're lying in a coffin.

But you feel a little better
if you grab a can of beer up here.

Yes, you're right.

Anyway, why do you keep smiling at me?

Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you.

No.

Just because.

-I like you.
-What?

Do you want a can of beer?
I just bought it, so it's cold.

You must have hurt your hand.

Oh, I got hurt at work.

You must be in a rough business
if you hurt your hand working.

You have very delicate fingers.

Do you write by any chance?

How did you know?

People each have
their own special ambiance.

Something like that.

I do something similar too.

I break things up,
put them together, and recreate.

What's with this guy?
He's getting way too friendly.

What's your favorite genre?

I like crime novels.

What are the chances?
I like crime novels too.

Really?

I like Raymond Chandler.

-Ray... Really?
-Yes.

Hey, I like him too. Goodness.

Actually, to be honest,

I didn't think I'd meet someone here
who likes the same author as me.

Not a lot of people know
who Raymond Chandler is.

-Have you read The High Window ?
-Of course, I have.

This is so uncanny.

-If it's not too much to ask...
-Yes?

Could you tell me a little
about the novel you've been writing?

-My work?
-Yes.

I'm not finished writing it yet.

Just tell me a little bit about the story.

-My work?
-Yes.

It's a work in progress, but...

Well, on the outside,
this person is an up-and-coming pianist.

But actually, this person is

a serial murderer
who has been killing people in this story.

-I see.
-Right?

You know, there are these people

who look perfectly fine outside

but have the desire to kill.

Right.

-What's the method of murder?
-What?

Your main character. The pianist.

Oh, right.
Well, there's a murder signature

that the main character uses.

It's always on the night
before his recital,

and he always uses his bare hands.
He doesn't use tools. He uses his hands

to choke someone to death.

Then the murderer keeps his eyes
on his victim until they die.

He keeps staring.

So here's the psychology
of this main character.

The main character wants to use
his two hands.

And his hands are very pale and slender.
He wants to feel

his victim's withering temperature
with his own two hands. With his hands.

Thanks for everything so far.

Babe.

That's cool.

-Goodness.
-That's really cool.

Gosh, I feel like
I'm the only one who's talking.

But I don't think
the victim is withering away.

-Aren't they blazing up instead?
-Pardon?

I mean, when he chokes his victims,

his hands aren't touching
the cold piano keys,

but grasping a fireball blazing up
in thousands of degrees.

Maybe he wants to feel that.
It's just a thought I...

Goodness, I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have said that to a writer.

Gosh, I'm hardly a writer.
I'm not a writer. No.

I'm sure everything will go well for you.

Cheers.

What a relief.

It seems like
he's the most normal guy here.

Goodnight.

-Sure, goodbye.
-Bye.

When he chokes his victims,

his hands aren't touching
the cold piano keys,

but grasping a fireball blazing up
in thousands of degrees.

Maybe he wants to feel that.

I could probably add that to the novel.

I thought I left my laptop opened.

There's no way it'll close by itself.

I THINK THAT MAN HAS BEEN COMING
INTO MY ROOM

-Mr. Byun, did you go into his room?
-Are you all joking around as a group?

Why would I go in there?

I have my own room!

Did that man come into my room too?

No, let's not get overly sensitive.

I might end up becoming insane
like that guy.

So why... Why did you kill him?

I... I was going to do it.

I want... I want the saw.

No, you're the pickax!

Come here and take the sack!

What a crazy man.

What are you doing? Hey.

-I said, what are you doing?
-Playing with fire.

This... This is so annoying!

Darn it. It's so freaking hot.

People will start to climb up here
for the mineral spring. Hurry up and dig.

Gosh.

I'm dying of heat.

JEONG-IN TAKES A SHOVEL AND HITS THE SACK

I'm dying... Dying of heat.

I'm dying of heat!

Damn you! Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die. Die!

Die. Die.

DIE, DIE, DIE

Man, it's even hotter now.

Gosh, that's so cool.

It's not easy to find a place like this.

How many times do we have to do this?
Darn it.

Make sure you sprinkle it all over.

And put away anything
that can be used as evidence.

Make sure you take the license plate.

It's not like we killed him.

No, not because of the police.
It's that man!

We always do his dirty work.
Do you think I don't have a safety net?

Get up, you idiot!

-Where's your rank and name?
-Private Yoon Jong-u!

Listen to that tiny voice.
Where's your discipline?

You fell asleep, didn't you?

N... No, sir.

Don't bullshit me.

Get down.

I said, get down.

Close your eyes.

I said, close your eyes.

If you want to sleep that badly,

you can sleep like this, you idiot.

Jeez. Why did I dream
about the army again?

Using the toilet outside
reminds me of the army.

Man, that guy is just impossible.

Why would he want to do that this early
in the morning?

I hope that guy didn't open my laptop.

Man, it's really bothering me.

I don't see that guy who spat on me.

I was going to tell him off
when I see him.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

-Did you get a good sleep?
-Yes.

It sounded like you were having
a nightmare. I could hear you.

Did I bother you? I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

You can practically hear
the person next door breathing here.

Figures.

The rooms are separated, but it feels like
we're all living together.

Right, have you seen the guy
who lives next door to me?

-Room 302?
-Yes.

Why?

It's just that I haven't seen him
since last night.

Come to think of it,
that gangster guy is suddenly gone too.

Isn't this weird?

We all live here, but we don't really know
about one another.

It's probably good manners
to pretend like we didn't notice.

I guess so.

I'm sure no one came
to live here willingly.

Do you want to grab a beer
on the rooftop after work tonight?

I'm meeting my girlfriend tonight,
so I can't.

-So you have a girlfriend.
-Yes.

Of course, you do.
You're a really good-looking guy.

Then please excuse me.

I'll take a rain check on that beer.

Sure, we aren't in a hurry.

-Hello. Hello.
-Yes, hello.

I'll just ignore them.

You must be getting ready for work.
You're one diligent young man.

Goodness, why didn't you wash it off...
You're such a baby.

Come here. I'll make breakfast.
I'll fry some eggs for you.

No, I don't eat breakfast.

Ms. Um. Ms. Um?

What?

You can never open the door
without a key, right?

Yes, you can never open it.

Why? Did something go missing?

No, it's nothing of that sort.

Oh, and...

Could you tell the man in room 313

to close his doors when he's in?

Why? I can't really ask him to do that.

It must be suffocating
to be in such a small room.

-His room reeks.
-His room smells?

And he watches too much porn.

-What's "porn"?
-What?

Okay, fine. I'll have a talk with him.

-Okay.
-Okay.

You're so cute. Have a great day at work.

This way, I can find out
if someone had been in my room.

I'll take a picture too.

Locked the door.

Man, what's with that guy?

I'll just slide by quietly.

But what is he holding behind him?

Excuse me, room 313.

Goodness, have a great day at work.

Yes.

Bye.

Goodness, close your door
after you ventilate your room.

I keep getting complaints.

Keep... Keep that door closed.

Did you take good care of him?

Yes. We do this all the time.

Take care of the guy in room 310 tonight.

Okay, we'll do it tonight.

JI-EUN, CAN YOU HAVE DINNER TONIGHT
AFTER WORK?

YES! LET'S MEET TONIGHT FOR SURE!

Goodness.

Why are you here alone?

Have you eaten?

Where's your mom? Goodness.

Where did your mom go? Why are you alone?

Have you eaten?
You probably haven't, right?

-Hello.
-Do you have cat food?

-Cat food?
-Yes.

You'll find it
in the household items section.

Hey, what are you doing?

Why do you keep feeding the cats?
Stop it. Stop this.

They keep coming around if you feed them.

What are you doing?

I can't sleep at night because of them.

MISSING: KUMAIL, MALE, AGE 37
NATIONALITY: PAKISTAN

Excuse me. No, it's okay.

By any chance, do you know Mr. Kumail?

Do you know my husband?

-When will you get rid of this?
-Tonight.

Ms. Um has been complaining of the smell.

Sir. Sir?

Wake up, sir. It'll end very soon.

-All right! This is so exciting!
-Sir, it'll end very soon.

We didn't put him to sleep.
Why is he like this? Open your eyes!

Let's see.

I'll cut his neck open.

You two can clean up afterward.

You have to give me his hand.

I want to work on the...
the new guy already.

He looked really soft.

Be careful.
Didn't you see how room 302 died?

You'll all die if you keep acting up.

Good... Goodness, I'm so scared.

Sir? Hey.

Room 302... The guy you loved... I mean,
the one you were scared of is dead.

Let's see. Halibut.

Rockfish. Blowfish.

-Shit.
-That's almost a span long.

Hey, Ji-eun. I'm on my way to work.

You've been busy, haven't you?

Yes, we're launching
four new programs this month.

Gosh, I'm so tired. What about you?

It has only been a day for me.

But my direct senior is kind of a jerk.

He tried to keep me
under his discipline since day one.

But still, try to get along with him.

You shouldn't get on his bad side.

If you're going to make a call,
do it outside. Think of others.

Yes, coming.

-Sorry. I have to go. I'll call you back.
-Right.

Okay. All right. I'll call you. Bye.

-Was that your boyfriend?
-Yes.

The guy who writes?

Yes.

He hasn't debuted, has he?

No.

Goodness, figures.

Everyone and their mother wants to write
a novel. It won't be easy.

I'm sure you know
since you're in this industry, right?

-Please excuse me.
-Okay.

-Ji-eun.
-Yes?

Are you sure you ran a spell check
on this press release?

Yes, I did.

You did, but there are typos left?

I just skimmed through it
and found three errors.

What if we handed it over
to be published like this?

Our pride is at stake, isn't it?

I'm sorry. I'll revise it.

You know that I'm a perfectionist.

I'm very sensitive to these things.

You keep missing the basics.

-I'm... I'm sorry.
-You may go.

PURPOSE OF THE NOVEL

KIM BO-MI, LEE BOM

My husband won't pick up his phone.

He's not usually like that.

He called me every day.

He lives here.

When you last talked to him,

did he say anything weird,
or did he seem any different?

He said he was scared.

Scared?

"Eden Residence"?

Wait, you two didn't live together?

The restaurant I work at is far away.

We decided to live separately
to make money.

My husband said that place scared him.

That some weird people are trying
to kill him.

He said that?

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

You know what?

There are three things that are missing
at a residence like this.

People who study for exams, sunlight,

and people who look for us.

But you

ended up making someone look for us.

That's against the rules of a residence.

You should've been careful.

But actually,

it doesn't really matter.

The guy who came looking for you is dead.

Cover me up down there too.
How many times do I have to tell you?

And you'll soon die too.

But I...

-Hello.
-Jong-u is here.

Yes, he's our new intern.
This is Reporter Cho Yu-cheol.

-Nice to meet--
-Did you forget

what I asked you to send me
on the phone last night?

Gosh, I forgot. I'm sorry.

No worries.
I'm glad he didn't forget to come to work.

-Goodness, Mr. Cho. You're here.
-Hello.

-Mr. Shin will be here in the afternoon.
-What?

He's hungover. I can't believe
he's doing this in our busy season.

Right, I heard he had too many drinks
last night.

Aren't you all a little too sloppy
at your jobs?

Do you think show promotion is a joke?

Come on, you write articles
on shows you haven't even watched.

Hey, Yu-jeong. Are you attacking me?

No way.

Gosh. I should go now
since you're so scary.

I'll be back when Mr. Shin is in.

-Yes, goodbye.
-Goodbye.

My gosh.

Goodness, great job on dealing with him.

Is he a pervert or what?
Why is he making a scene this early?

-Hey, Mr. Intern.
-Yes?

-What was your name again?
-It's Yoon Jong-u.

Yes, Jong-u. Come here for a second.

We're way too busy,
so we have to get you to work right away.

Do you know how to use PowerPoint?

-I haven't--
-You just have to organize these

according to the manual.

Ask Mr. Park if you get stuck.

Okay.

Let's see.

You jerk. You idiot.

Say, "Please spare my life."

This jerk.

Okay, let's see.

You jerks, enough is enough.

-All right!
-Damn it!

Give me your hand.

You shouldn't tell him to say
"Please spare my life." It's my turn.

I need to hit you. Wait.

-What are you doing?
-I bet three too.

-You bet for "Who are you?"
-You heard him, right?

-Stop lying!
-Shit.

Shit.

I'm a really good dentist,

but I didn't numb your mouth,
so it'll hurt a little.

You can't help it.
You'll need to live through.

All right, now. Okay.

Okay. We'll be done soon.

OFFICER SO JEONG-HWA

REQUEST FOR A BACKGROUND CHECK
BYUN DEUK-JONG

-I... I didn't kill 13 cats.
-What?

-Officer So?
-I... I killed one.

78 BUNSEON-GIL, IJWA-RO
HWAGUN-RI, GYEONGGI PROVINCE

I have no idea how to do this.

Excuse me, Mr. Park.
Could you please give me a hand?

-So I take this and--
-What is this?

You can't do something that basic?
How did you manage to graduate?

If you used connections to get a job,
you need to work hard.

What did you do at work today?
You just spaced out, didn't you?

You went straight to bed last night,
didn't you?

Did you review what you learned at work?

I'm sorry.

Man, I got stuck again.
How do I get this to work?

I really don't want to ask that guy.

What is it? Do you have a question?

What? Oh, I don't know how to do this.

You just have to press
ctrl and z together. Easy, isn't it?

Yes.

You should ask Mr. Park
whenever you have a question.

Why are you grumbling like a puppy?

Yes, okay.

You're too cute.

He's unbelievably pathetic.

He's just like that pervert
at the residence.

Goodness, I'm sorry.

-Mr. Shin, are you okay?
-Is Mr. Cho gone?

He is. You came late
on purpose, didn't you?

-Have some tteokbokki .
-Why did you get tteokbokki ?

You're having tteokbokki
when you're hungover? Will you be okay?

Come on. What did Mr. Cho say?

He was looking for you.

What would he say?
He just made a scene and left.

-Great job.
-Looks good.

Let's eat.

Sundae looks great.

78 BUNSEON-GIL, IJWA-RO
HWAGUN-RI, GYEONGGI PROVINCE

Man, he's going to tell me off again.

Mr. Park, I'm sorry,
but could you take another look at this?

You have to apply
what I already told you before.

Don't... Don't you understand?

My gosh. Use your head when you work.

Don't just do it blindly.

Even an elementary school kid
can do better than you.

Why did you punch in the numbers?

Didn't you use a formula
to calculate these?

Man, you don't even know the basics.

We have to change all the numbers
when the prices change later on.

You'll be done in no time
if you use VLOOKUP on these.

Just do a simple search
and you'll find everything online!

Will you please shut up?

-What are you doing? Can't you hear me?
-Pardon?

Why are you so out of it?

You don't seem clueless.
It looks like you aren't willing enough.

All right, let's wrap up and go home.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-Are you leaving?
-What?

If I were you, I'd stay behind
and study a little for my job.

You should at least earn your keep.

See you tomorrow.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye. Great work.

JI-EUN, I HAVE TO WORK OVERTIME

SO WE'LL HAVE TO MEET ON THE WEEKEND
I'M SORRY

WE CAN'T HELP IT, THEN
CALL ME WHEN YOU GET OFF WORK

YES, OKAY

78 BUNSEON-GIL, IJWA-RO

Why, hello.

I'm Officer So Jeong-hwa
of Eunhye Patrol Division in Eunhye-dong.

I'm actually here

to ask a few questions
about your nephew, Mr. Byun Deuk-jong.

May I ask for your cooperation?

They've always been weird

ever since the day they were born.

They've been weird?

Other people say

I must have seen something wrong
while I was drunk,

but I clearly saw them

put our place on fire to kill me.

But they were children back then.

Are you doubting what I'm saying?
Do you think I'm drunk?

-I'm sorry.
-Do you?

I'm sure of this.
No one else knows except for me.

Sir, do you have any pictures
or belongings

of the twins left here?

Let's see.

This is it.

POLICE

The box...

Where is it?

-Move aside.
-Yes.

After I sent them off to an orphanage,

they sent me something
after a long time has passed.

May I take this to have a look,
then bring it back?

Throw it out or do whatever you want.
I don't even want to look at it.

Thank you.

SAEMTEO ORPHANAGE

1998
SAEMTEO ORPHANAGE

Let us begin the burning ceremony
of the frogs.

What are you doing over there, boys?

Goodness! You little rascals.

You guys caught a lot.

We'll get to eat some frog legs tonight.

-Thank you.
-Let's do it together.

Should we?

Show me a smile.

Wow, this is huge.

What is she doing?

Hey, come and eat.

It's too late
to ask her to meet, isn't it?

You worked overtime,
then you work at home too?

Yes, I have a meeting tomorrow.

You're a workaholic.

Stop picking a fight with me.

JONG-U

She must be busy.

I wonder if that cat came back.
It must be hungry.

Hello.

-Heave-ho. Heave-ho.
-Be careful.

-Careful.
-Heave-ho. Goodness!

Make sure you clean it up, okay?

This is so exciting!

Be quiet! People will wake up!

-And stop fooling around.
-Don't worry.

You hold the front.

No, you hold the front!

Hold the front, will you?

No, you do it.

You do it. You're the younger one.

Should... Should I do that?

-Let's go. Heave-ho!
-Go, go.

-Heave-ho!
-Go, go.

Wait. Wait.

Heave-ho. Wait.

-Heave-ho.
-Heave-ho.

-Heave-ho.
-Heave-ho.

-They're the twins.
-Heave-ho.

What are they doing this late at night?

-Heave-ho.
-Heave-ho.

-What's in that sack?
-Heave-ho.

Heave-ho. I want to take the front.

Quiet.

Hi. Kitty.

You're so pretty. Come here.

What are you doing?

I had to go to the police station
because of you, you crazy jerk.

You crazy jerk.
So why did you get caught? Jerk.

I killed just one of them.

This is so annoying!

Die. Die!

-Die! You fat pig.
-Stop that and move it!

Die! You fat pig! Die!

Die!

What are you looking at?

What?

They're the twins.

I just saw them while I was passing by.

-Mr. Byun.
-Die!

He... Hello.

What are you doing here?

Ms... Ms. Um told us

to take out the garbage.

We help her out
instead of paying the rent.

I see. I thought you were throwing out
a dead body or something.

-Isn't that so?
-What?

Oh, a little.

Why are you throwing out the garbage here?

Ms. Um told us to throw it out
where there aren't any cameras around.

But that black stain.

What's that? It looks like blood.

It's... It's the water that came out

from food garbage.

Filthy water came out.

Goodness, she doesn't separate
regular garbage from food garbage?

This is pretty bad, isn't it?

Well, I...

I'll talk to Ms. Um and--

You can just open it.
Can't we open it and see?

Let's just see what's inside
so that we wouldn't get the wrong idea.

The man from room 303 is right. Open it.

Hurry up and open it.
If you don't, I'll call the police.

If you're curious, see for yourself.

Mr. Byun, you can't throw out
dead cats over here.

It... It died from having too...

too much rat poison.

Are you all right?

Goodness, I'm leaving.

Wait for me.

Go... Go have a great night.

You must've been shocked.

No. No, I'm fine.

Why is he so calm?

My father is a vet,
so I'm used to seeing dead animals.

What is this?

It seems as if he's reading my mind.

I guess you didn't get to see
your girlfriend today.

No.

Do you want to go in
and grab some refreshing beer?

It gets lonely to be in the room all alone
after a long day.

Don't you feel that way too?

Right, one second.

-Try this. It's to die for.
-Okay.

Ms. Um made it for us. Try some.

Okay.

Maybe it's because I just saw a dead cat.

It tastes kind of odd.

I guess you don't really like it.

Yes, it's not really for me.

I guess this part isn't for you.

-What?
-There are other parts. Do you want some?

It's pretty late. Let's have a quick drink
and call it a day.

That's weird. This is good meat.

Why do you look so startled?

Do you think this is human meat
or something?

People here are really strange.

And I'm not sure who it is,
but someone's keep coming into my room.

Do you know that he went missing?

Of course. I reported him as missing.

Hey. Behind us.

Sir, may I check your trunk?

How's the guy in room 303?

Hey. Smile. I said, show me a smile.

-Hi, Se-eun.
-He's scary.

Was anybody else reported as missing
other than that man?

Why? Do you have a suspect?

NO OUTSIDE VISITORS
ALLOWED IN THE RESIDENCE

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND INCIDENTS APPEARING
IN THIS FILM ARE FICTITIOUS

Try this. It's to die for.

Okay.

Ms. Um made it for us. Try some.

Okay.

Maybe it's because I just saw a dead cat.

It tastes kind of odd.

I guess you don't really like it.

Yes, it's not really for me.

I guess this part isn't for you.

-What?
-There are other parts. Do you want some?

It's pretty late. Let's have a quick drink
and call it a day.

That's weird. This is good meat.

Why do you look so startled?

Do you think this is human meat
or something?

I'll get going first.
I have to be at work tomorrow.

Sure.

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

He finally closed his door.

I guess that pervert listens to
what the landlord says.

That's odd. This is great meat.

Why doesn't he like it?

Gosh. He must be very sensitive.

It's perfect for my taste.

Should I add some seasoning?

Then we'll lose
the natural taste of the meat.

Right?

What a relief. It's still the same.

It looks just like the picture too.

Why did he make that face?

Hey.

What?

-Behind us.
-Who's behind us?

Look behind. Behind.

-What?
-Do you want to die?

You told me to look behind, you jerk.

-You're a crazy idiot.
-Keep driving! Look ahead!

I... I didn't kill 13 cats.

-What?
-I... I killed one.

He... Hello.

Can you turn down the volume?

I... I can't hear you.

Please turn down the music.

Oh, okay.

What is it?

They've always been weird

ever since the day they were born.

Your left taillight is out.

It's too dangerous
to drive around at night like this.

Make sure you get that fixed tomorrow.

Who... Who broke that?

This is so annoying.

In that case...

He said he was scared.

Sir, may I check your trunk?

Why do you need to do that?

I just have something to check.
Please cooperate.

Go ahead and look.

That's liquid from food waste.

It's too dangerous to drive around
with a broken taillight,

-so make sure you get it fixed tomorrow.
-Yes.

Don't police officers go around in pairs?

Pardon?

But you're alone.

We go around to... together.

Hey, you're the BB gun guy.

May we go?

-Sure, go ahead.
-Yes, goodbye.

Are you headed to your residence?

Yes, we are. Why?

Nothing. Goodbye.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Goodness, it's late. I should go to bed.

That... That was so hilarious.

They've been running amok
ever since that gangster disappeared.

I'm glad I made some progress
on my writing in a long time.

Okay. I'll try writing little by little
every day.

Was that put up there
by the foreigner who lived here before?

Sergeant Cho?

Sergeant Cho, what are you doing?

-Do you want to try some?
-This is human meat.

-Grandma.
-Thank you, young lady.

Grandma, I'm leaving.

Young lady.

My husband is a nice man.

Please find my husband.

Please find him. Please.

I'll find him for you.

You haven't gone to school?

I'm too old to go to school.

Good for you, Dad.
You became a high school kid.

-Are you teasing me?
-Yes.

Get to work already. Watch out for cars.

Yes. I'm leaving, Dad.

Grandma, I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

-Be careful.
-Okay.

She's a very nice looking young lady.

Of course. She's your granddaughter.

That young lady looks very nice.

Dr. Seo, hello.

Long time no see.
You must've been busy lately.

-I haven't seen you for a while.
-Hello.

Hi, Se-eun.

She's very shy.

-Goodbye, then.
-Wait, Dr. Seo.

Are you free this weekend?

Our women's society is going to an event
at a nursing home... I mean, volunteering.

We're going volunteering,
so I was wondering if you could...

If you could volunteer as a dentist
for the elderly. One second, please.

Hello?

Why, hello. Is Hak-su doing well?

Yes. I'll call you right back. Okay.

I'm sorry. Anyway, can you make it?

I'm busy this weekend. I'm sorry.

-I see. Then maybe next time.
-Okay.

See you around, Se-eun.

Se-eun, you always get shy
whenever you see him.

He's scary.

Oh, right.

I should do this every day.

Calm down.

We have a new guy here too.

He didn't seem like a type
who'd move out of this residence.

Goodness.

Should I just kill him?

What did you say?

Calm down.

I should calm down.

I can't deal with a guy like him
and go down to his level.

Goodness, hello.

-Who are you?
-I stopped by here--

-Oh, the officer who stopped by.
-Yes.

Gosh, you look so much younger

-without your uniform on.
-You look beautiful today too.

-Me?
-Are you going somewhere?

I'm volunteering to help senior citizens.

Oh, you're doing good work.

-You must have volunteered before.
-What?

It didn't seem like
this was your first time.

Gosh.

That must be why

homeless people always swarm
around me out on the street.

Anyway, what brings you here?
Are you here to see me?

I wanted to ask you something.

-I was about to leave.
-It's him.

He's the guy who used to live in room 303.

Do you know that he went missing?

Of course, I reported him as missing.

Someone who lived here before you
committed suicide.

-Missing? He didn't kill himself?
-Going to work?

Yes.

-Then what? Did you find him?
-No, we're looking for him.

You haven't found him yet?
Goodness, this is disappointing.

I didn't want to say anything,

but what are the police doing?
You're awfully speedy with these things.

That's why I'm going to work hard
to investigate this.

You can't do anything alone.

-Make sure you patrol this area at night.
-I will.

People that pee everywhere
are making my life difficult.

Young man. Why haven't you left?

Were you waiting for me?

No, I left something up there.

-Young lady, I'm late. I have to go.
-Okay.

-Goodbye.
-Give me a call.

-Okay? When you find him.
-Sure. Goodbye.

Where did he go?
He left all his stuff here.

Goodness, where could he be?

Excuse me, hello. Hello.

-We just met in front of the residence.
-What?

-Didn't we meet in front of the residence?
-Yes.

Yes, may I have a short chat with you?

I have to get to work.

Sounds great. I'll give you a ride, then.

-No, I'll walk.
-I won't take long.

Okay? Please.

Should I let you off at the bus stop?

Yes, over there.

How long have you been living
in that residence?

Four days.

-I see.
-I overheard you talking,

and that foreigner... The foreign man
who lived there went missing?

Yes, but they all seem very calm.

Was anybody else reported as missing
other than that man?

Did someone else go missing
from that residence?

The landlord told me
that the man moved out,

but it was weird how he suddenly left,

and he didn't seem like a type
who'd leave like that.

And a detective recently came by.

-A detective?
-Yes.

May I have his number?

I have his name card,

but it's in my office,
so I'll send it to you later.

Okay, then. This is my number.

I'll be grateful if you could contact me.

Give me a call.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Yes.

Your ancestor must have lived
a virtuous life.

Goodness, hello. You look very nice.

Your ancestor must have lived
a virtuous life.

Did you just move here?

Hello, ma'am.

Your face is gleaming.

Your ancestor must have lived
a virtuous life.

Do you live around here?
You must be going somewhere nice.

Is something on my face?

Goodness, no.

Anyway, am I really gleaming?

Goodness, that's interesting.

Of course, you are.

Anyway, aren't there a lot of people

who's been getting sick around you?

Gosh, how did you know?
You're really uncanny.

Instead of standing around,
do you want to go to a cafe,

have a cup of tea, and chat?

No, why don't you come to my place?

It's right over that hill.
I'll treat you to a cup of tea.

Really?

I knew I had a good feeling about you.

You're such a nice lady.

Why don't you come over
and tell me this and that?

-Sure. Of course.
-Let's go.

Goodness, you're really uncanny.

Great work. Goodbye.

JONG-U, I'M IN DAEHAK-RO RIGHT NOW

AND I WANTED TO STOP BY TO SEE YOU,
SO CAN YOU SPARE SOME TIME NOW?

JONG-U, I'M COMING TO YOUR OFFICE
IT'S ON THE 4TH FLOOR, RIGHT?

JI-EUN, WAIT

I'LL COME DOWN

Ji-eun!

-Hey. You're so pretty now.
-Long time no see.

-Stop it.
-Come over here.

-Everyone, say hi to her.
-Hello.

This is Jong-u's girlfriend
whom I've mentioned before.

-I see.
-Isn't she pretty, Yu-jeong?

Everyone is pretty at that age.

Come on, Mr. Shin. Yu-jeong is pretty too.

Yes, she's prettier than me.

Really? Right.
She used to be a stage actress.

Don't mind me and keep working.

Come here. Let's grab some coffee.

It's okay, Jae-ho. I have to leave soon.
I just stopped by to see him.

I haven't seen him
ever since he came to Seoul.

-Really?
-So don't make him work too hard.

Hey, what do you think of me?
Say something.

-He gives me an easy time.
-Yes.

Goodness, hardly.
I really have to go. Bye.

You should at least have a cup of coffee.

I really came by to see him.

I have to humor my boss too.

You still play for the Premier League.
Look, we're like a community soccer team.

I never know when I'll get fired. Bye.

Jae-ho, I'll go downstairs to...
I mean, Mr. Shin, I'll see her...

You don't even have to ask.
You should see her off.

-Yes.
-Bye.

Wait, wait. Wait.

Good for you, Jong-u.

You have such a great girlfriend.

Gosh, I'm so jealous.

-I didn't see your text.
-I only texted you.

Go into the shadow.

And I wanted to give you this.

What's this?

When I went to fix my laptop,

they were giving away prizes
right out front with a dart game.

This is actually the prize
for the last place.

But... But I thought it'll suit you.

Okay, okay.

-You wanted to walk me to give me this.
-Something like that.

It's cute. I'll put it on my bag. Thanks.

-Okay.
-Gosh.

Right, is the guy
in the corner your direct senior?

Oh, yes.

-He seemed really weird.
-Really?

Why didn't he say hi when I walked in?

-It made me feel awkward.
-I see.

-Are we meeting this weekend?
-Ji-eun... We will.

-Go, now.
-Okay. I'll get going.

Wait, wait.
There's a taxi. You should take it.

Okay.

Thanks.

-Call me.
-Okay.

Okay. Go back safely.

Is it because I didn't get enough sleep?
I'm seeing things now.

Jong-u.

She seemed very hot for you, didn't she?

What?

I mean,
it seemed like she likes you a lot.

Jae-ho.

Don't say something like that
about Ji-eun. It's offensive.

I was just joking. Don't be so angry.

Yu-jeong,
did you think I crossed the line?

-What about you, Mr. Ko?
-What?

Oh, yes. You got a bit too sensitive.

I think he was just joking.

Right?

See that? You're the odd one out.

See? I told you he was weird.

You're odd.

Let's go eat lunch.

Crazy jerks.

Have some.

I have an important guest,
but that's the only thing I have.

Don't worry.

Who... Who's this lady?

Hey, hello.

I met her out on the street,

and she's very spiritual.

I had some questions,
so I brought her over for a chat.

Do you want to join us?

Come here.

You can now speak at ease.

What about him? What do you see about him?

It sounds fun!

Your ears are parted in two.

I see someone else there.
A brother or a sister?

Goodness, my gosh. That's amazing.

See that? I told you. She's really good.

Really. Do it again! Again!

You're in bad luck this year.

You're in bad luck. Goodness.

-That's bad news.
-What's that? What does it mean?

It means you have bad luck.

Don't come closer.
You'll give me bad luck too.

Does this mean I'm going to have bad luck?

Well, that's not it.

You have bad karma because of the sins

your ancestors have committed.

-You can come pray with us--
-Gosh!

Me... Me? I sinned?

You sinned. Goodness, that's bad news.

She... She said you're spiritual.

Then... do you think it's a man

-or a woman?
-What?

The... The person you said

you could see.

He seems like a man.

Then,

do you think he's older or younger?

-Isn't he younger?
-My gosh!

Wrong!

Man, you can't get anything right.

You can't guess it right.

I'll get going.

Oh, goodness.

She seems weird.

Ma'am.

Why do you think there are
so many sick people around me?

What?

I made them sick.

You didn't know that?

Please spare my life.

-Spare my life.
-You didn't see what'll happen to you,

yet you tried to say you're spiritual?

Unbelievable.

What's going on?

Gosh. What a jerk.
He's even worse than beasts.

Even beasts won't do such a thing.

It's because there's no death penalty--

Wait, did you watch the news two days ago?
There was a hydrochloric acid attack.

-Yes, I saw that.
-They caught the culprit.

You're bringing up a weird topic again
while we're eating.

No, listen up.

The culprit was a CEO of a small business.

He used to donate a lot of money

and had a great reputation,
and he's married with children.

Then do you think criminals walk around
with a sign that says, "I'm a murderer"?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Criminals like him
usually look perfectly normal.

You're right.

Jong-u and I saw a guy
who almost got beaten up to death

when we went out to grab a drink.

-Really?
-Yes.

That guy's eyes suddenly went crazy
and started beating him like a lunatic.

But Jong-u broke them apart.

-He can be kind of wacky.
-Gosh.

That's so cool.

Jong-u, have some raw beef.

You probably can't eat this
at a residence.

You need the nutrition.

This place has great meat.

Are you okay?

He must have an upset stomach.

Did he just throw up after seeing my face?

No way.

That's a possibility.

Gosh, you're really mean.
I'm the CEO, okay?

Eat up.

I know how people like you are.

I had a junior like you
back when I was in the army.

He was a type
who pretended like he was normal,

but he always badmouthed others
behind their backs.

It must be your thing to get
people's sympathy with that pretty face.

But no, it won't work for me.

What in the world are you talking about?

Should I just kill him?

Should I just kill him?

The more I think about it,
the more annoying this is.

Anyway, how's the intern doing?

He barely does anything.

Come on, don't be like that.
Do look after him with love

as if he was your little brother.

I once saw him whimpering
like a lost puppy all by himself.

He really doesn't know anything.

Shouldn't he learn a little more
before he comes out to work?

Come on, that's why you can do
a better job at teaching him.

-Jong-u, are you all right?
-Yes, I'm fine.

It breaks my heart to see a guy
who lives at a residence get sick.

Do you want to go get some air?

You can't ventilate a room at a residence.
There's practically no window.

Once you go in there,
you can never come out.

You're all done already?

You can all go in first.
I need to have a chat with Jong-u.

-Whoa, bromance.
-Yes, sir.

Are you sure you're okay?
Do you want to leave early?

No, I'm fine. It's just an upset stomach.

You're way too young to be that sick.
Does your residence give you any food?

Wait, Jae-ho.

Can you please stop mentioning
that I live in a residence around people?

Man, why is this melting so much?

-Why? Are you embarrassed?
-No, it's not that.

Hey, people who just started working
usually start off...

Will you please just stop mentioning

-that I live at a residence around others?
-What?

You haven't...
You haven't even lived in one.

What's with your attitude, jerk?

I'm sorry. I don't feel so--

Shit. That's way too gross to eat.

Yoon Jong-u, let's try to be
more professional at work, okay?

I'm the CEO and you're my employee
when we're at work.

Have you ever seen an employee
who talks back at the CEO?

-You--
-Jae-ho, I wasn't talking back.

And stop calling me Jae-ho, okay?

This is exactly
why you can't control your emotions.

Gosh, so annoying.
There's no use in helping others.

Look at how sweaty you are.

What's so scary
that you're wetting yourself?

That new deity of yours
will soon save your life,

isn't that so?

Do you remember me now?

It's me. Bok-sun.

Um Bok-sun, the girl you were mean to
because I ate too much.

You finally remembered.

I remembered you
as soon as I ran into you before.

Life can be very funny.

I have to get back to work.
You can play with her.

Okay.

Shall I begin?

CHA SEONG-RYEOL

Yes, hello?

Yes, I'm the guy you met
in front of the residence this morning.

Yes, Jong-u. Hello.

I just took a picture of his name card
and sent it to you.

Right, yes. Thank you.

You can go ahead and check that.
I have to get to work, so goodbye.

-Wait.
-Yes?

May I feel free to give you a call

if I ever need to talk to you?

Yes, go ahead.
I have to get back to work. Goodbye.

-Yes, thank you. Yes.
-Yes, officer.

Officer? Is something going on?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's not nothing.
I can tell something is going on. Tell me.

Jae-ho, it really isn't a big deal.

-Let's go.
-Are you still sulking?

I can tell by the sound of your voice.

Do you think this is just a school club?
This is real life.

I'm the CEO who pays you,
and you're an employee on my payroll.

Will you keep showing your emotions
like this?

Hey.

Smile.

-What?
-I said, show me a smile.

Jae-ho, what's with you?

-"Jae-ho"?
-I mean, Mr. Shin, I really--

Do you think I'm joking?

Smile.

-Behave yourself, will you?
-Yes.

Special Detective Division.
This is Detective Lee Gwang-jae.

Yes, hello.

This is Officer So Jeong-hwa
of Eunhye Patrol Division.

Why is the patrol division calling?

Well, actually,

I'd like to contact
Detective Cha Seong-ryeol,

but his phone seems to be off.

Detective Cha? He's on a leave,
so we can't reach him either.

I see, he's on a leave?

Yes, he hasn't been picking up our calls
for a few days either.

Anyway, why do you need to talk to him?

Yes, right. He met someone
at a residence in our jurisdiction,

then that man went missing,

so I wanted to ask him a few questions.

At a residence?

I see. I'll let him know
once I get in touch with him.

Yes, please do that. Thank you.

Yes. Bye.

-Give that to me.
-My gosh.

-Give it to me.
-I almost died. Knock before you come.

Knock, knock. Give that to me.

Here.

Gosh, that's the engineering major.

The goddess of engineering.

-Su-bok.
-What?

Before you came here, you were

a part of a detective division, right?

Yes, I was.

In that case,
when a detective suddenly goes AWOL,

what do you reckon is happening?

Why do you ask?

Do you remember that guy
who came after killing those cats?

The guy who shot his gun at us.

-The BB gun?
-Yes.

Two people went missing
from the residence he lives in.

And the detective
who went to see one of those two

suddenly went out of touch.
Isn't this weird?

That could be nothing.

-Come on.
-When a detective is in his zone,

he can go off the grid

until the day he resolved that case.

He'd suddenly come back in a few days,
looking completely fine.

No, it's really weird.

I have a gut feeling.

You have a gut feeling?
You're too new to have one.

Jeong-hwa, look.
A patrol division is a place

where we take initial measures,
not an investigative agency.

If you became an officer
to investigate, wake up.

Stop stepping out of your line.
Just do your job. Your duties.

-Su-bok.
-What?

-Do you have small bills in here?
-Why?

What?

You told me to do my job.
Thanks for paying me for the overtime.

Hey, why... Why did you take money
from me for your overtime? Hey.

I can get a new fan for 5,000 won!

And I didn't become an officer
to investigate.

I just wanted to help people.
That's why I became one. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

My goodness.

Jong-u, aren't you going home?

-I--
-Why not? Your girlfriend is very pretty.

Go on a date with her.

We're meeting on the weekend.
I'll do some more work before I leave.

People might think
you're doing everyone's work.

Mr. Park, don't be so mean again.
Try to speak a little nicer.

Okay.

All right, let's go home.
Yu-jeong, so? Are we grabbing a drink?

No, I'm meeting someone. Please excuse me.

I'm eating out with my family too.
See you tomorrow.

Okay. You should spend your evening
with your family.

I'll drink alone tonight.

MINIMAL LIVING EXPENSE

PAY, 1.75 MILLION WON
250,000 WON EXTRA

No matter how much I try to save money,
I only have 250,000 won left per month.

Goodness.

When will I make enough to move?

Goodness.

Bo-min, when are we going to get
the sample poster and the storyboard?

The sample poster and the storyboard?

Early next month.
I'll share it as soon as I get it.

Okay.

We have to film that
when our actors are free.

We have to figure out the schedule.
Ji-eun?

Can you check the schedule
of each of our actors?

Ji-eun?

Ji-eun!

What's on your mind?

Hey. What's with you?

Check the actors' schedules.

Yes, okay.

Were you thinking about
what you'll eat for dinner?

Gosh.

She's pretty obsessed with food,
isn't she?

You heard me, right?

We have to film the storyboard,
so check the actors' schedules.

Yes, ma'am.

And we're going to grab
a quick drink tonight.

Right, you must be meeting your boyfriend.

No, I'm free tonight too.

Really? Then come with us.

Okay, sure.

You don't have to come if you're busy.

Well, so...

Doctor, we'll get going.

-Goodbye.
-Sure, goodbye.

-See you tomorrow.
-I'm sorry I caused such a nuisance.

-Sure. Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

I'm sorry to bother you, Dr. Seo.
You can't get off work because of me.

-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry.

You look very tired too.

A lot has been going on lately.

Someone is killing cats,
and there's a missing case too.

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't say these weird things.

-It's okay. Take a seat.
-Yes.

Is someone continuously killing cats?

Yes, really.

Why is someone so mean to stray cats?

I once read from a book

that criminals usually start off
by killing animals.

It may not be just a prank.

Do you think so too?

Why? Do you have a suspect?

I can't seem to put a finger on a person,

but there are a few people at a residence
that I'm suspicious of.

What am I saying? I'm sorry.

Gosh, I'm sorry.
I forgot to bring your chart.

-One second.
-Sure.

-Yes, Su-bok.
-Hey, Jeong-hwa.

I have to get and watch
the backup of the security footage

from the intersection
of Eunhye Elementary School.

Can you get that for me?

Right now?

Yes, it's an emergency. Where are you?

-I'm at the dentist.
-The dentist?

What a relief. You aren't that far.

What about Hyeon-ho?

He went far away on a family affair.

I'm sorry to ask you after work.

Yes, okay. Bye.

Dr. Seo, I'm sorry.
Something suddenly came up.

Gosh, you had to stay after your hours
because of me. I'm so sorry.

It's all right. You have a busy job.

I'm so sorry.

Do come right away if it hurts again.

Yes. Thank you, doctor.

-Sure. Goodbye.
-Yes. Goodbye.

It's still full.

His legs were like this.
They were thinner than mine, you know.

I really don't get it.

But then... Ji-eun.
Just pick up if it's your boyfriend.

It's okay.

Just pick up. Don't let it keep ringing.

Oh, okay.

So whenever I go out...
I mean, of course...

Hey, Jong-u.

Yes. Are you working overtime again?

Yes, what about you?

I'm at a company dinner.
My boss wants to hang out a little.

I see.

What's with that voice?
Did something happen?

What is it? Tell me.

What is this?
Are they talking behind my back?

What?

No, it's nothing. What were you saying?

Well, Ji-eun.

It's the residence that I'm staying at.

People here are really strange.

One of them stutters and laughs at me,

and another one suddenly swears
at me for no reason.

And I'm not sure who it is,
but someone's keep coming into my room.

There can't be a lot of normal people

who live in that residence.

Only you'll get tired if you get concerned
about what those weird people do.

And you need to stand up for yourself
at work from what I've seen today.

You know what?

When people say you're nice,
it's not a compliment. It's an insult.

Yes, okay.

I'm sorry. That was too much.

No, you're right.

I must've been overly sensitive.

You should go back inside.
They must be waiting.

You aren't sulking, are you?

No way. I'm not sulking.

Okay. I'll text you when I go home.

Okay.

-Young man. Are you coming in just now?
-Yes.

-Come in here for a second.
-What?

Come in for a second.

-Come in.
-Why?

-Gosh, look at how much you're sweating.
-Please.

You need to take a shower.
Drink this. It's cold.

-Anyway, what is it?
-Right.

I had a question. Drink up.

-Isn't it good?
-What's going on?

-I saw you this morning...
-Yes?

...with that officer lady.
Did you tell her anything?

Oh, this morning?

Did you tell her something bad?

Something bad?

It's because you know,

people moved out of here all of a sudden,

-but I need to make a living.
-Right.

If any bad rumors go around,
I can't really run my business.

Yes, right.

-Do you understand what I'm saying?
-Yes.

-Then I'll get going.
-Sure.

Sure. Give that to me.

You must have bought something.

-Go to the shower and wash up.
-Yes.

How's the guy in room 303?

Goodness, this isn't the first time
I had to do this.

The drug will kick in soon enough.

You have nothing to worry about.

So will you start working
on room 303 tonight?

-That looks good. Keep up the good work.
-Yes.

Right.

-Ms. Um.
-Yes?

-Why did you do that?
-Do what?

The woman on the fourth floor.

Why?

Are you going to kill me too
for doing that on my own?

No way.

You're special.

Try staying locked up in this place.

You get a bad itch.

Yes. I trust you.

Keep it up.

I need to add a lot of MSG.

This is weird.

Why do I always get a headache
whenever I'm back here?

Man, I feel like throwing up.

Stop showing off just because
you're friends with the CEO. Okay?

Stop showing off, you jerk!

And stop calling me Jae-ho, okay?

This is exactly
why you can't control your emotions.

It must be your thing to get
people's sympathy with that pretty face.

But no, it won't work for me.

Is... Is something funny going on,
Deuk-su?

Do you want me to kill you already?
Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Should I kill him or not?

Just quit, you idiot!

Do you want me to kill you already?

How do you want me to kill you? Babe.

There can't be a lot of normal people
who live in that residence.

Just quit, you idiot!

-You'll get tired if you get concerned...
-Should I kill him or not?

-about what those weird people do.
-Should I kill him or not?

-Should I kill him or not?
-And you need to stand up for yourself

-at work from what I've seen today.
-Should I kill him or not?

It must be your thing
to get people's sympathy

-with that pretty face.
-Not a compliment. It's an insult.

-But no, it won't work for me.
-You know what?

-It's not a compliment. It's an insult.
-Should I kill him or not?

-You know what?
-Should I kill him or not?

-Should I kill him or not?
-When people say you're nice,

it's not a compliment. It's an insult.

Did I get sick
from eating something wrong today?

I'm awfully tired.

Did something happen today
that bothers me?

Did I take some weird drug?
What's wrong with my body?

What is this?

What's going on all of a sudden?

-Ms. Um, I think someone was in my room.
-Goodness.

Hey, man. Come out. Come on out!

He seems kind of odd
ever since he came to Seoul.

Is something going on at the residence?

Did anything else happen that you thought
was weird at the residence?

Ji-eun.

I just heard something in here.

No one lives on the fourth floor
after the fire.

You don't think you fit in here, do you?

The young man in room 303 seems
to meet that police officer often.

Are you all right?

NO OUTSIDE VISITORS
ALLOWED IN THE RESIDENCE

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND INCIDENTS APPEARING
IN THIS FILM ARE FICTITIOUS

Did I get sick
from eating something wrong today?

I'm awfully tired.

Did something happen today
that bothers me?

Did I take some weird drug?
What's wrong with my body?

What is this?

What's going on all of a sudden?

Why am I so dizzy?

Pull yourself together.

Is he really the replacement
for the man in room 302?

Why?

Does he look weak?

Deuk-su.

Yes?

You can't judge a person by their cover.

Someone came into my room.

Ms. Um.

-That's nuts.
-Ms. Um.

-Goodness.
-Ms. Um, I think someone was in my room.

-Goodness,
-It's true.

you know everyone who lives here.

No, Ms. Um. I'm sure someone came in.
I already checked.

So who came into your room?

No idea. That's why I'm checking.

Is that security camera working?
Is it recording everything?

Let me check that.

I thought you were a quiet guy,
but you're pretty feisty.

-Just show me. How can I check that?
-Goodness.

It's right here.

My gosh, you're such a nuisance.

Hey, this works.

I thought it wouldn't work since it's old.

Here, you can use this.

Maybe you kept your door open.

I locked it in the morning
and checked to make sure.

And I used dust...

Dust?

I just have this feeling I can't explain.
I found it. Look.

Feeling? What feeling?

See that? Look. No one is around.

Goodness, you got paranoid for nothing.

-It's just your feelings.
-This can't be right.

There's nothing going on.

Goodness. What's with that man?

My gosh. He's doing that again.

Goodness.

That guy sleepwalks,
so he keeps walking around.

Does she expect me to believe that?

Wait, did he just open your door?

Wait, go forward.
Goodness, it's not working.

Why did it go off? It's broken. It's gone.

This is really old. It's way too old.

I don't think he opened the door.

Goodness, this isn't going to work.

-It's definitely the pervert in room 313.
-Can I get this fixed?

This is... Young man.

Wait, young man.
Don't do that in this hot weather.

-Hey, man, come out.
-Goodness. Young man.

Hey. Come on out.

Come on out!

-What are you doing?
-Goodness, calm down.

-Hey.
-My goodness.

You went into my room, didn't you?

I just checked the security footage,
so tell me the truth.

-Ms. Um. You saw it too, didn't you?
-What?

I did see it, but I don't think
he actually opened the door.

You went into my room.

-That's his only undershirt.
-You went in, didn't you?

-Stop it.
-Do you want to die?

-You do, right?
-Don't do that.

Tell me that you want to die.

-I'll kill you.
-Stop it already.

So what? You didn't go on?

-You went in!
-What's going on?

Please calm down.

Are you all right?

That was the moment that I realized

why that gangster trembled so much

when he saw these men.

I'm scared.

I'm frightened of these people
who are smiling

at me right now.

Okay. Calm down.

Calm down.

You should all go back in.

Yes, you're all neighbors. Come on.

All right. Goodnight.

Pull yourself together, Yoon Jong-u.

Can we chat for a moment?

What?

What's wrong?

I just heard something in here.

Really? I didn't hear anything.

-What?
-Didn't Ms. Um tell you?

No one lives on the fourth floor
after the fire.

Right.

But I heard something.

Right.

A woman who lived on the fourth floor

seemed to have kept a cat.

That woman died in the fire,
but that cat has been coming in and out.

Should we put out some mousetraps?

The night view here is great.

Anyway, what happened?

You didn't seem like a type
who would get that worked up.

Did anyone ever come into your room
without asking?

The guy in room 310 had a fight,
saying someone came into his room.

Am I getting filmed right now?

I...

I think you're filming me.
What are you doing?

Oh, nothing. It was pretty.

But Ms. Um said she didn't see him

actually go into your room
on the security footage. Is that true?

It's because the footage was cut off

right before he went in.

Come on, of course, he went in. He did.

Figures. People who live here are

all kinds of eccentrics.

Here's why I'm sure of this.

I've been really suspicious lately,
so I put some dust on my laptop.

Once someone opens the laptop,
the dust would fly away immediately,

so you can tell
if someone had been in there or not.

But the dust was gone
when I opened the laptop.

I remember turning off my laptop,
but it was on.

Yes, I understand.

I would've reacted the way you did
now that I heard your story.

Anyway,

you really wanted to kill him earlier,
didn't you?

What?

Think about it.

He's a loser, human garbage
who watches nothing but weird videos

with his doors wide open,
and he came into your room

to touch your things with his dirty hands.
I'm sure it gave you the creeps.

You don't think you fit in here, do you?

"I'm different from these people."

But you're also kind of anxious.

"What if I end up like them?"

No, you think,
"Did I already become one of them

by living in a place like this?"

But don't worry.

You're different from these people.

Because you can do whatever you want

whenever you want
if you put your mind to it.

I'm sorry.
If you're done, may I take this?

Okay, sure.

Hey, Mom.

Yes, I'm about to sleep. What?

-Jong-u.
-Yes?

-Do you have some money?
-Money?

Your brother just had a seizure.

We came to the emergency room,
and we're a bit short on money.

Is he okay? Is he badly hurt?

It's nothing huge.
He fell over and got cut.

So how much do you need?

Do you have about 200,000 to 300,000 won?

Tell me how much you need.
Tell me the exact number.

Never mind. I have to send it
on my phone, so hang up for now.

Okay, Jong-u. I'm sorry.

Forget about it. Don't say that. Bye.

You're home.

I'm home.

My granddaughter.

Grandma. You recognize me?

Are you teasing me?

Did you think
I wouldn't recognize my granddaughter?

Grandma.

Be careful.

Don't trust people too easily. Okay?

You shouldn't trust people.

Grandma, what do you mean?

Who are you, young lady?

-Who is this?
-Grandma.

That guy seems pretty nice,
yet he makes me feel very uncomfortable.

The way he smiles is weird too.

Man, I feel crappy.

Did you see that?

That's how you deal with

idiots like these.

Is... Is something fun going on?

It's not always like this around here.
You must be shocked.

There are only good young men
left here now, right?

I know how people like you are.

Hey, smile.

I said, show me a smile.

Maybe you're a bit too sensitive.

But don't worry.

You're different from these people.

Because you can do whatever you want

if you put your mind to it.

It's not always like this around here.
You must be shocked.

-There are only good young men...
-Maybe you're a bit too sensitive.

-I know how people like you are.
-...left here now.

It's not always like this around here.
You must be shocked.

Maybe you're a bit too sensitive.

Man, is there bad feng shui in this room?

I've been getting nothing but nightmares
even since I moved in.

Was he in my room?

Why... Why are you staring at me?

Why... Why are you staring at me?

You're making me embarrassed.

Stop laughing, you idiot.

-My gosh, you're unbelievable.
-It's so hilarious, isn't it?

Ji-eun. I need to talk to you.

Yes.

Ji-eun, I have a favor to ask.

Can you check on the filming
for the making film tomorrow

and follow the camera
to get the actors' interview?

What?

And write up the questionnaire
for the interview before noon,

and have them confirmed by their agencies.

We don't have much time,
so make sure you do it in a hurry.

I thought I made myself clear
on the division of our duties last time.

And if I have to be there tomorrow
for the shooting,

I already made
another appointment ahead of time,

so I don't think I can do that.

What?

I called the marketing team, and
they're filming the making tomorrow.

I told the making video team
that we'll be there tomorrow,

and I asked them for help
on getting the actors' interview.

Really? Bo-min,
you took great care of everything.

This person I know couldn't care less
because it's not her duty.

Who? Of course, I should do it.
This is our team's work.

-Thanks. You may go.
-Okay.

Ji-eun, did you hear that?
"This is our team's work."

Yes.

Who are we to you, Ji-eun?

Are you going to do your job alone
and get your promotion?

-No, I--
-You always stay out of everything

like this.

Right? Why do you work at a company?

Aren't we all here to work together?

It's okay. You can pick it up.
It must be your boyfriend.

-It's all right.
-Pick it up.

-Hey, Jong-u.
-Someone came into my room yesterday.

-I checked the security--
-Jong-u.

Let's talk again later. I'm busy.

Unbelievable.

ARE YOU OKAY? IS SOMETHING GOING ON?

-Jong-u.
-Goodness.

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying
to make you surprised. I'm sorry.

Are you feeling sick?

-Me?
-Yes, you don't look so well.

I just couldn't sleep well. Right.

-This belonged to that foreign man...
-Thank you.

...who lived there before.

-I'll get going.
-Sure.

Jong-u,

did anything else happen

that you thought was weird
at the residence?

-Anything weird?
-Yes.

Well...

-It's the fourth floor.
-Okay.

It's odd.

I heard no one lives there,

but I keep hearing sounds.

What kind of sounds?

You know,
I kept hearing something banging.

-Like the sound of--
-But I'm not sure what it is.

Jong-u?

-I'm not really sure. Goodbye.
-What?

Oh, okay. Goodbye.

It was her.
It was Ms. Um of the residence.

Why did she come all the way here?

There's no reason for her to be here.

Why was she here?

My gosh! What are you doing, mister?

Gosh, I'm...

What are you doing? Are you insane?

Forget it. What a shitty way
to start the day!

Did you get some eggs?

Yes, the twins love these.

It won't even last a week.

You're such a kind lady, Ms. Um.

Why were you up there?

I thought I saw some mice,
so I placed some mousetraps.

EDEN RESIDENCE

-Hey, wait.
-Yes?

The young man in room 303

seems to meet that police officer often.

It seemed like

he gave her something this morning.

Did you see what it was?

I saw them from afar,
so I didn't get a good look.

What should we do?

We can probably deal
with the young man in room 303,

but that female officer.
Should we get rid of her?

No, I'll manage.

Are you sure?

What if something goes wrong?

Ms. Um.

Don't you trust me?

Goodness, what's not to trust about you?

Okay, you can manage.

I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride.

-Are you looking for a room?
-Yes.

Great, you can take a look around.

Okay.

It's a bit of a climb up to this hill.

Summer will pass by soon enough.
It's only tough when it's hot.

It's great
to get a bit of a workout, isn't it?

We provide free eggs,

and I give homemade kimchi
made only with Korean ingredients.

You won't find another room like this.

I see.

Take your time.

May I think about this just a little more?

Why? What are you worried about?

I'm sure you shopped around.

You can't find a room like this in Seoul
with that kind of money.

But still.

Did you say the rent is 200,000 won?

Why? Did you find anything else
that's lower?

I can give you a discount.

I see.

I'll give it some more thought.

There's nothing to think about.

You won't find a room like this.

It'll be tough to find another place.

He won't find another room like this one.

Ma'am, it's me. Bok-sun.

Goodness, you're lying down.

Goodness, why did you come

so late this month?

Things have been busy at the residence.

I brought some great medicine for you.

-What did you bring?
-This is a good one.

You didn't have to bring this.

Drink up. It's good for your body.
That's it.

-Drink up.
-Gosh, that's refreshing.

I heard it's good for your body.

-Are you all done?
-Yes.

You should get good sleep now.

You'll feel much better after that.
Let me help you lie down.

Goodness. You've become much thinner.

Sleep well.

REASSURING PLUS HEALTH INSURANCE

Hello!

What? Intern, are you here all alone?

Yes, they all went out for a meeting.

Man, they're all slacking off.

I guarantee that this place will close
within a year.

Goodness.

Can you give me the clippers?

Pardon?

Clippers. They're in Byeong-min's drawer.

What is this?

He's a complete stalker.

It's hot. Do you have anything?

Do you want something to drink?

Then I'll have iced coffee.

Let's see how good you are, Mr. Intern.

If you have some fruit,
give me some of that too.

Man, this is excellent!

Mr. Intern, please keep making my coffee
from now on, okay?

Right, so what do you write again?

A play?

I write a novel.

A novel.

I see. You're an artist, Mr. Intern.

That's why your coffee is
at a state of the art.

So what do you plan on writing?

A crime novel.

A crime novel. Crime novels are great.

You can ask me if you need any story.

Okay.

Right.

Didn't you say you live in a residence?

Yes.

Then there must be a lot
of unique characters there.

You never know.
There might be a serial killer.

People who study for exams
have a really tough life.

People with a lot of stress

have a higher possibility
of committing a crime.

What if someone lies there dead next door?
That's frightening.

-Then I'd know right away.
-What?

You can even hear the next door breathing.

Really?

And there are no test-takers
at this residence.

But I'm sure there are a lot
of unfortunate people living there.

Right, do you remember
the recent internet cafe murder case?

That guy's inferiority complex exploded
on the victim.

I've seen a lot of men like them
over my career as a reporter.

And if you look at their eyes,
they're very sunken,

and something about them is very dark.

Anyway, it seems like
they're suppressing something down.

And where do you think
people like them all live?

They laughed.

What?

They didn't seem suppressed.
They seemed to enjoy it.

-Hello.
-Why are you so late?

-You're here.
-Why didn't you call us before you come?

Hey, where's Mr. Shin?

Mr. Shin? Isn't he in there?

Man, it's really hard to meet him.

Do I have to come
at least three times or what?

Anyway, I have to go now. Bye.

You're leaving already?

Oh, Mr. Intern. Was your name Jong-u?

Jong-u makes awesome coffee.
I'm sure he'll be an excellent employee.

You don't have to see me off. Bye.

Okay, goodbye.

Mr. Intern.

Did you take the nail clippers
from my drawer?

Yes.

-What?
-Mr. Cho asked for them.

May I get back to work?

Hey. Where's Mr. Shin?

No idea. Give him a call.

Here.

Gosh, should I start a cafe?

Right,

how's Jong-u doing?

The first question you ask me is
about Jong-u?

You'll make a great wife.

I mean,

he seems kind of odd
ever since he came to Seoul.

I wasn't the only one, then.

He always gets really cold
whenever I mention his residence.

Is something going on at the residence?

Nothing is going on.

He's sensitive because he lives there.
And he probably thinks he's pathetic.

Don't be so mean.

So be good to him at work.

Hey, you won't find a CEO
who's more considerate than I am.

It sounded like
his direct senior is bullying him.

Tell him that enough is enough.

My boss is stressing me out a lot too.

All right.
Are you going to keep nagging at me?

Why?

Is she annoying you a lot?

What's wrong?

Man, you must be awfully stressed out.

-Here, take this.
-It's all right, really.

Come on, it's nothing.

She'll get angry at you
for going out during working hours.

Thanks.

I can do this much to cover for you.

I'll make sure I treat you
with something good later.

-Forget it. Go.
-Bye.

-Okay.
-Let's grab a drink with Jong-u soon.

Okay. Thanks for the lunch.

-I'll call you.
-Go.

Is that your boyfriend?

Oh, hello.

-He's not.
-Really? I knew it.

He's just a friend.
He was a senior in college.

Does he work around here?

He runs a business in Daehak-ro,
and he came nearby on business.

Do you want some coffee?

He came here from Daehak-ro?

Does your boyfriend know?

What?

Are you slow,

or are you leading him on?

Anyone can tell
that he has a thing for you.

It's not like that.

Do you want me to set you up with him?

I think you'd make a better match
for him than me.

Okay, then. Do set him up with me.

Why? You don't want someone else
to have him?

No, of course, not.

Okay. You're looking after your senior
like this, Ji-eun.

You hit it, didn't you?

Seriously? I'm going to kill you!

Why... Why do you say that? That's scary.

Don't be like that. Don't do that.
Do you want to make a bet?

Bet what?

Let's bet our wrists.

All right!

-Isn't it fun?
-Like this!

It's the fourth floor.
I heard no one lives there,

-but I keep hearing sounds.
-What kind of sounds?

Something banging.

POLICE

EDEN RESIDENCE

EDEN RESIDENCE
4TH FLOOR, WOMEN ONLY

Wait.

Open the door!

Oh, no.

Wait, stay still.

Die. Die.

Damn it!

Gosh.

Please help me. Please help.

You're badly hurt.

-Please help me.
-Your hands are hurt too.

Please help me.
I hurt my feet, so I can't walk.

Please help.

Then you should crawl.

What?

Why? Don't you want to live?

If you want to live, crawl.

I guess she still had blood flowing.

I heard from Ms. Um

that you two were like sisters
in that prayer house.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Stop begging.

You'll die anyway.

I'm sorry. I'm...

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-Hey.

I brought mushroom tea for you.

You'll be on the express train
to heaven once you drink this.

You're in luck.

Great work this week.

-Great job.
-Good job.

You've done well on your first week,
Jong-u. Great job.

Do look after Jong-u, will you?
Hasn't he done well, Byeong-min?

Do take care of him, please.

-We'll do our second round...
-Hello?

-...at the place we didn't go last time.
-Hello?

-It might be crowded.
-Hello?

-Please buy some flowers.
-I'm not buying.

-You're helping out an old woman in need.
-Hello?

Please give me a hand.

-It'll be crowded.
-How much is it?

-It's 5,000 won.
-Is it 5,000 won?

Is that for your girlfriend?

I thought of my mom who's in Busan.
Here, 5,000 won.

-He's such a darling.
-Thank you.

What a great son. Such a great son.

Should I have bought one too?
I could've given it to my mom.

She sells those flowers
and drives a Mercedes around.

-Do you have a car? You don't have one.
-You can have it.

-May I really have this?
-Sure.

Are you sure I can have this, Jong-u?

Yes.

Please buy some flowers.

-Hello.
-How much is this?

That's 10,000 won.

Why don't you take some fish
to eat raw, then?

Or butterfish?
Butterfish is really delicious right now.

What brings you here?

I'm going to Seoul.

You're going to Seoul right now?

Not right now.

A senior from college said
he'll give me a job at his office.

-Really?
-Yes.

Goodness, I can't believe
you got a job, Jong-u.

Great. I'm glad you made that decision.

-I just came to tell you.
-Okay.

Jong-u.

That senior of yours is a great guy.

Be good to him.

Man, if it hadn't been for Yu-jeong,
we would've gone to a place

where men could have some real fun. Right?

-Hey, what do you think of Yu-jeong?
-What?

I think she's interested in you.

She was thrilled
when you gave her that flower.

Jae-ho, I have Ji-eun.
And Ms. Son isn't that kind of a person.

My gosh, you're getting cold on me again.

You need to get rid of that habit.

Why are you so slow?

What did you want to say?

By any chance,

may I stay at your place today

and just this weekend?
Things are weird at the residence--

I'm sorry, but I have things
to do this weekend.

And I don't let people come to my place.
You know that.

Why? Are they redecorating?

No, the people there are...

Mr. Shin, they're full.
Let's go somewhere else.

-There are no seats.
-Man.

Then let's go to that huge place
where we went to last week.

-You know, the place with darts.
-Let's go to a pub.

Sounds great.
Let's grab some cold beer at the pub.

-Man, those old men. A pub?
-What's good there?

I always had to drink alone
with those old guys,

so it's really great to have you, Jong-u.

UNKNOWN NUMBER
DON'T YOU WANT TO KILL HIM?

This place was pretty great.

What is this?

If it really was him, what should I say?

Should I just report him to the police?

No, no.

No, he didn't do anything.
How am I going to report him?

It was definitely that guy.

What the...

I was really popular.

I'm not kidding.
I was huge back in college.

Stop talking nonsense.

All the girls... Hey, tell her.

He's my witness.

-Yes, he'd know.
-Of course. He was in my crew.

He's not saying anything.
Stop bullying nice Jong-u.

Hey, I dated the girl
who was the model for our university.

Tell her. Isn't that right?

Lee Do. Class of 2008, Lee Do.
You know her, right? Do you?

-See that? She was really famous.
-Really?

She was the most famous one in our school.

You are charming, Mr. Shin.

-Of course.
-What charms?

What? He's good looking.

There are girls
who like manly men than pretty boys.

-That's right. He looks really manly.
-How does he look manly?

My gosh. I would've punished you
back in school.

-She doesn't need you.
-Enough is enough.

He'd run after her
even before he put on his shoes.

-He ran after her.
-That's enough, kid.

And he kept telling her
that he'll buy her food.

-I'm serious.
-That's enough.

-And he told her he'll buy her meat.
-Hey.

I don't think you dated her.

-You bothered her every day.
-This jerk.

-And you kept calling...
-Our new guy must be stressed out.

Should we get going, then?

-I'm going to the restroom.
-Okay, go ahead.

Mr. Shin. Goodness.

-He's going to the restroom.
-Can you pay first?

Mr. Shin, wait for me.

He always ran after her.

Jong-u, are you okay?

Hey.

I'm fine. I'm okay.

In that case, I'll go ahead and pay.

-And this. I'll take this.
-Take your flower.

Wait, I should go.

It's you, Mr. Park.

Hey, Mr. Park,

I'll say just one thing today.

Byeong-min... Mr. Park.

Stop gawking

at a woman's behind

when you're at work.

It's... It's not like
you're a damn pervert.

How... How dare you?
Did... Did you see me do it?

-Hey, guys.
-I'll report you!

-Do it. Try!
-Both of you. Mr. Park!

-Mr. Park!
-That's sexual harassment.

Come on out, Mr. Shin got into a fight.

-I'll talk to you later.
-Hurry up.

Give us your number.

-I can't even wash this.
-How much is it?

-We'll pay for it.
-It's expensive, you ass.

-Let's not cause any trouble, okay?
-Hey, hit me.

-Mr. Shin, calm down. Stop.
-What do you want?

-Hey, hit me. Are you that rich?
-We're sorry.

-We apologize, okay?
-What's with you?

-We'll pay for your shirt.
-Come here. Come.

-Hey, hit me.
-We're sorry.

-You apologize!
-I'll give you the money!

Mr. Shin, will you calm down?

-What?
-What is he doing?

-Kill me.
-Jong-u.

Goodness, Jong-u.

Hey, kill me.

-Jong-u, stop.
-Jong-u, hey, stop.

Jong-u, this is unnecessary.
You need to stop.

-Goodness, Jong-u.
-Hey, hey, man.

Man, this is disgusting.

Hey, are you a kid or what?

You're old enough to have gone
to the army and know not to pick a fight.

You might end up dying one of these days.

See? I knew what he was like.

He... He's a lunatic.

-Don't say that.
-Put that on him.

-Jong-u. Jong-u?
-Hey, wake up!

Jong-u. Get up.

I didn't think he was like this.

-Hey, your address.
-One, two, three. Move.

-Taxi! The address. The residence address.
-Let's go home.

-Jong-u, the address. Your home address.
-Mr. Park, do you know?

Ji-eun, Jong-u got completely wasted.

-Do you how his residence address?
-Jong-u!

Just tell him that
it's Eden Residence in Eunhye-dong.

Okay. Okay, I got it.

-I don't want to...
-Don't worry.

-Goodness, watch it.
-We'll get him home.

Jong-u, get in.

Eden Residence.

Hey, get in the taxi. Okay, sorry.

You can do it.

Jae-ho. May I...

What are you saying?

Jae-ho. How about...

just

for one day...

Can I crash at your place?

You're completely wasted.

You'll wake up and realize
how big of a mess you were tonight. Go!

-Yes, hurry up and go home.
-Here.

Jong-u, watch your head.

UNOCCUPIED

-Please take him home.
-Yes.

Okay, Iden Residence.

Hey, wait. Excuse me, sir?

I can't find anything on my navigator.

Wait, wait.

-What?
-Is it Iden Residence, sir?

Sir, wake...
Man, this is driving me insane.

-One second. Is it Iden Residence?
-Sir.

You can let me off here.

I'm not going home.

-Hey, Jae-ho.
-Hey, Ji-eun.

I sent Jong-u home safely.

May I...

see you right now?

What?

Where are you?

I'm on my way to see you.

Sir, can you make a U-turn over there?

Excuse me, sir. Sir?

Is he drooling?
Why is he drooling so much?

Sir, wake up. Sir?

Excuse me, sir? Sir?

I'm going to Ji-eun's place.

What is he saying? He's driving me insane.

Goodness, look at this guy.

Sir, your taxi fare is 10,000 won.

-I'll take some money from--
-I'm not going back there.

What? Really? Okay.
But you still have to pay.

I'm doing it.

Excuse me, sir. You're home. Sir?

Sir, wake up.

What? What? No, you're home.

Watch your feet. Look. Here.

-You're here.
-I'll stay at Ji-eun's place.

What? I don't know what you're saying.
You need to go. Sir, come.

Let's go. Sir!

-Be careful.
-I got him.

Sir, what's going on?

What did he say again?
I got the wrong address, so I asked him.

Then he kept trying to jump out,
saying he can't go home.

And he drooled so much
all over my back seat.

-That's why I brought him here.
-I see.

I know him well, so I'll take him home.
Thank you.

-He must do this often.
-Well, yes.

-His backpack.
-This is my peak hour, so I must go.

-Sure.
-Take care of him.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

I'm not going home.

I'm not...

going there.

When did this all begin?

When did it all go wrong?

If I hadn't come to this hell...

If I hadn't...

I can't go home.

Would I have had a heaven?

JI-EUN

Why isn't he picking up?

Hey, Jae-ho.

May I...

see you right now?

What?

Where are you?

I'm on my way to see you.

I'm sorry. I have to go see Jong-u.

Sir, can you make a U-turn over there?

EDEN RESIDENCE

Jeong-hwa, wake him up.

Jong-u.

Jong-u.

Are you okay?

Eden Residence.

What's going on in that place?

EUNHYE PATROL DIVISION

I'm so frightened.

I'm really...

I'm so scared.

Everyone who lives

in that residence is weird.

JONG-U, I'M IN FRONT OF YOUR RESIDENCE
I'M COMING UP TO SEE YOU

Ji-eun.

May I help you?

Who are you?

You must be here to see Jong-u.

-We keep getting flies here.
-Ji-eun!

Shouldn't we wrap this up
and leave this area?

Something isn't right about that woman.

And I'm sure there's a leader among them.

-"A leader"?
- Hey.

We have more people.

You, me, and your brother.

Who are you?

Hi, I'm the new guy across the hall.

Do you think I'm joking
because I've been nice all along?

Is anybody there?
