Original subtitles

What are you doing?

I really want to sleep.

Get a hold of yourself and open your eyes.

-Please sleep with me. -What?

Are you asking to sleep with me?

Are you trying to sleep with me in this state?

Let's do it. I can sleep with you.

I can't sleep with you.

Stop dreaming.

Do you think touching me and asking to sleep with me

will make me fall for you?

When did you last wash your hair?

Wash your hair if you want to seduce someone.

You're not even going to sleep with me.

Why did you come here?

I heard you talked about me to other people.

What did you hear about me? Or do you really know something about her?

Did you know Hui-ju?

Oh, that girl's name is Hui-ju?

What?

How do you know her?

I saw her.

-I saw that girl. -What?

-Are you still not awake? She is-- -Dead.

Yes, Hui-ju died a long time ago. So, how and when did you see her?

I recently saw her next to you.

I see dead people.

Mr. Joo's woman is a ghost.

It's a famous story at Kingdom.

The president, Mr. Joo, can't get married because of his first love who died.

Every time he tried to get married, the ghost turned up and stopped it, right?

Do you mean the girl who died in the case related to Mr. Joo?

Yes. It was a famous case.

I remember seeing it on the news when I was young.

A rich kid and his girlfriend had been kidnapped together.

They paid the ransom but didn't catch the kidnappers, right?

It was about 10 billion won then. It's the same as about 100 billion now.

-It would be about 100 billion. -Wow.

The people who took that money must be enjoying their lives now.

Do the employees call Mr. Joo "Master"?

Mr. Joo is the king of Kingdom. So we call him the Master.

He's a mean tyrant. He's living comfortably as the president.

It's no wonder the girl who got killed became a ghost.

"Jung-won."

"Please get revenge for me!"

There's a rumor that she wanders around Kingdom like that.

-Let's have a drink. -Cheers!

Gosh, it's going to be scary doing rounds at night.

I almost died once.

Since then, I see dead people.

So you're saying that you recently saw Hui-ju, who died 15 years ago?

I saw her on the day that you got mad at me.

She's dead and it's over. Don't bother the living.

It was for a brief moment.

But I saw that girl.

You see ghosts?

Are there ghosts here right now? How many are there?

See that chair?

It's rocking when there's no wind.

So?

There's a ghost there.

There is a ghost there?

Some come to see me and I see some on the streets.

I try to ignore them but they keep coming after me.

Some want to talk to me.

And sometimes they ask for favors.

They won't let me sleep. It's so scary and I hate it.

But I have no choice but to listen to them.

But when I touch you, I can't see or hear them.

I've never met anyone like you.

That's why you're special to me.

I wonder what you are to me.

If I stay with you,

I might be able to sleep and live a normal life, too.

I want to be by your side.

Do you really want to be by my side?

If this building is yours, I will give you some attention.

The land is expensive here.

It's really painful. You can't see or hear them.

But I'm so scared.

I'm not scared of what I can't see or hear.

I'm scared of you, who I can see and hear.

Are you scared because the chair is rocking?

Does this scare you more?

If you try anything funny again, I will show you how scary I can be.

Whatever you do to me won't be as scary as what I see now.

I just want to escape to your side.

So it's not because I'm rich or because I'm really handsome.

It's because you're scared of ghosts?

This is a new pick-up line.

It's an act of desperation.

I'm so lonely and sad right now.

Look, Tae Gong-sil.

Even the comic book character Candy tied up her hair neatly

when she hit on a rich guy.

Even if she was lonely and sad.

Wash your hair and get a hold of yourself.

You think I'm a poor girl who's trying to seduce a rich man.

I'll do it.

Can I just be Candy?

Do you think you'll be able to seduce me?

Okay, try to bewitch me with your ghost friends.

You smelly and gloomy Candy.

I'm the sun.

Tae Gong-sil.

Tae, like the sun.

The sun?

If you're the sun, I don't ever want morning to come again.

The sun will rise and I will go to your side.

I'll wash my hair next time.

Did you meet Ms. Tae, Mr. Joo?

Did you meet Tae Gong-sil?

I shouldn't have come here. Let's go.

All right.

Why did he come here?

He probably thinks I'm crazy.

I really saw the ghost.

Hui-ju...

I really saw that girl, too.

There's a ghost there.

If ghosts really exist, I would like to summon her.

Cha Hui-ju.

Bunshinsaba.

Bunshinsaba. Please come here.

Bunshinsaba. Please come here.

Bunshinsaba. Please come here.

Bunshinsaba. Please come here.

What are they doing?

They're summoning the ghost of Eun-seol.

Bunshinsaba.

Are you here?

She's here.

Are you Lee Eun-seol?

It's Eun-seol.

It's a prank. Don't mind them.

Why did you die?

Is the person who killed you...

in this room?

Tell me.

Is she...

in here?

Is the person who killed you in this room?

What are you doing? Everyone sit down.

Do you think it was Eun-seol?

Don't react to such pranks.

Let's study.

LEE EUN-SEOL

-It's Eun-seol. -What?

Was this photo taken at the Kingdom fountain?

Yes, this photo is all over the Internet.

Isn't it just a bad photo?

Maybe the camera shook when they took it.

The other girls look fine.

Isn't her position weird? Look.

She had to have been standing here.

You're right.

She wouldn't have been in the water.

Then,

is it really a ghost?

If this photo is real, it's a psychic photo.

A psychic photo? Are you kidding me?

I did an experiment myself.

It'd be hard to get a photo like that

if it weren't a ghost.

It must be a fake photo.

Our company image isn't good after the wedding incident.

And now this?

Mr. Do. Are you doing your job?

I asked the portal sites to delete the photos.

In any case, Kingdom is a popular search word because of this photo.

"Kingdom psychic photo." "Kingdom ghost."

The employees say there's a myth that ghosts bring good luck.

Is this funny to you?

Do you find this funny?

Well...

I am scared of ghosts.

But it's also interesting.

This is no time to be playing with ghosts.

The Giant Mall, which is 1.5 times bigger than us, is being built right now.

It will open in two months.

A giant scarier than ghosts is growing.

Is it only two months away?

That was fast.

Get a hold of yourself if you don't want to be crying in two months.

Tell the employees to possess the customers, not get possessed by ghosts.

Make them open up their wallets and spend their money!

My friend is a broadcast writer. Shall I tell him about this?

I heard there's a reward if your story gets chosen.

This is my photo. It's my ghost. Mine.

You do a lot of useless thinking.

Fine.

KINGDOM PART-TIMERS WANTED

-Hey. -Oh, my gosh.

Gong-sil.

Why are you out and not sleeping at home?

-Did you come to see me? -No.

I got a job at Kingdom.

What?

Gong-sil, I just became the manager of this store.

If you get arrested or get sent to a hospital, I can't work here anymore.

That won't happen here.

There's something special here.

Don't you see those things here?

There's somewhere to run away to. I won't see them there.

Why are you drinking two cups of coffee?

It's because you're trying to stay awake, right?

Some kid keeps following me and asking for some coffee.

So, I ordered one for him.

I should go.

Hey. Hey, Gong-sil!

This is the photo we took on the day that Eun-seol died.

Right. But why is the ghost of Eun-seol in the photo?

Do you think Eun-seol sent it to us?

To show us that she hates us?

It must be a prank. Some think she died because of us.

It was a traffic accident. It was not our fault.

I think that it was because of us.

She wouldn't have died if we didn't do that to her that day.

I think Eun-seol hates us and is lingering around us.

What is the rumor about the ghost in the photo?

There's a rumor that it's the girl that died because of Mr. Joo.

How can they say that? Who said such a thing?

Not me.

I heard the employees talking about it.

Everyone knows about Mr. Joo's incident because it was a famous case.

And they always said that the ghost lingers around him.

She died a long time ago.

Is this the girl who died?

She did have long hair.

And she was probably around this age when she died.

But I can't remember her face.

People your age don't have a good memory.

I heard that a ghost appeared here.

A ghost? Let's take a photo.

What are you doing?

Come on.

Go up there.

Are they still talking about that psychic photo?

I think Mr. Do is taking care of it, but it's hard to make such a rumor go away.

And an absurd rumor has been added to it.

What is the absurd rumor that has been added?

Well, that is...

-Gosh! I'm all wet! -Are you okay?

Come on, get out.

We shouldn't have come to this ghost fountain.

I'm sorry.

"Ghost fountain."

This is an expensive fountain. I bought four pricy goddesses.

Have the goddesses been overpowered by a ghost?

Ghosts are more exciting than beautiful goddesses.

Beauty makes people relax but fear makes them nervous.

It makes people want to come here and look at it.

That's why people get possessed by such things.

This is so exciting that it is a nuance.

What are you doing? Why did you come here?

I'm cleaning here.

TAE GONG-SIL

I got a job.

There are many places to clean. Why did you have to come here?

Because you are here.

You're taking the standard procedure.

Girls trying to seduce guys work at a place where they can be noticed,

so that they can get close to them and maybe even go on dates.

Is that what you expected?

I know you don't believe me.

But you know that's not what I expect from you.

Right, you said it's because of the ghosts.

Ghosts.

I heard there's one here. Did you come to meet a friend?

There's a ghost here?

There aren't any.

Really?

Yes. There aren't any. If there were, I would have...

touched you.

Are there really none? Are you sure?

Right?

This is too expensive to be possessed by a ghost.

I'm sure there aren't any here.

That's a relief.

Are you saying that you believe me?

You believe me, right?

Of course not. There are no ghosts.

It's not because I believe you. There are no such things as ghosts.

And you.

Don't work here.

Why not?

It's only natural that I want to kick you out of here.

Get lost, Ms. Tae.

Mr. Joo.

Something has happened.

I don't know when the station came to cover it.

But the psychic photo will be broadcast on TV today.

Why is this childish prank getting broadcast?

I think the rumor has spread in a strange direction.

I think it got mixed with the rumor about your past.

There is a photo that is a big issue on the Internet.

An unidentified face was photographed behind the girls.

When there are mysterious ghosts seen in photos,

we call them "psychic photos."

So, who is this woman in the photo?

We were investigating the mystery of this photo.

We found a connection between the location of this photo

and a terrible incident that happened in the past.

Do you remember

the 10 billion won kidnapping case from 15 years ago?

The son of Mr. Joo, a wealthy man, was kidnapped with his girlfriend.

And while confronting the kidnappers

who asked for a 10-billion-won ransom,

the girlfriend Ms. Cha was murdered in this tragic incident.

Mr. Joo, who was kidnapped together with the girl...

is the current president

of the shopping mall where the photo was taken.

People say there have been strange rumors about this place.

Everyone knows about the ghost of the president's dead girlfriend.

So when I patrol... I mean, when I come here at night

there's a strange feeling, and some of the employees say they saw...

The ghost of the president's dead girlfriend is said to appear here.

She's not the girl that I saw.

We found the detective who had been in charge of that case.

The statute of limitations will expire soon.

The case will be closed without the kidnappers getting caught,

so the late victim must feel wronged.

Who is this woman in the photo?

Is it the spirit of the late Ms. Cha?

Or could the photo have been manipulated as a prank?

One thing is for sure.

The place where the photo was taken...

holds the spirit of a young woman who died unfairly.

Excuse me.

It's not her.

The woman in the photo isn't Cha Hui-ju, the girl lingering around you.

It's wrong, right?

Shut it and move.

Did you see that on TV?

They said this was a ghost that was always at Kingdom.

But this is Eun-seol.

We all know that.

Shall we go there?

Why did you agree to do an interview with them?

The statute of limitations will expire on that case soon.

I thought I might find some sort of clue if it became viral.

Do you think they will give themselves up because of a ghost?

If they see it, they will feel some guilt.

In a way, Cha Hui-ju was sacrificed for your business.

Don't you feel sorry?

You're the president of Kingdom. You seem to have a good life now.

But don't you think you shouldn't forget her?

You seem to be upset that I'm living a good life.

"Forget everything. The living must go on living."

I didn't forget what you said to me 15 years ago.

Did I say that?

In any case, I'm not giving up on this case.

Then please find the money

that I lost.

Are you really better now?

You had post-traumatic stress disorder after the incident.

Can you read now?

I am better now.

I guess you didn't really get over everything.

I wonder who she is.

You said it's a ghost.

Maybe she's dead.

You said you can see them.

You should go find her.

Right?

If I find her, I will be helping him.

If I help him, he might let me stay by his side, right?

Your mother's not coming home tonight either?

No. I guess she's busy making money.

You should eat up and sleep here if you're sleepy.

I'm going to go somewhere for a minute.

Even if she's weird, you should pretend to believe her.

That way, she'll keep giving us food.

Eat.

I saw some ghosts while I was cleaning.

Can I see your face?

I'm sorry. I don't think it's you.

Gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Excuse...

Have you seen a girl who looks like this?

Could...

Could you take a closer look at this?

She lingers around the fountain over there.

Everyone ignores me when I tell them to go away.

It's obvious that they won't answer my questions.

I'm so sleepy.

Are you human?

What are you doing here, acting like a stray cat?

You're from Room 404.

That's right. You said you work here.

I saw you walking around here from the security office.

I clean here.

I started working here a few days ago.

The cleaning crew has already clocked out.

I lost something while cleaning, so I was trying to find it.

I will look around a little more.

I will come with you.

It's okay.

It's scary to go around alone in the dark.

There's a rumor that there are ghosts.

I will come with you.

There's no one here. Let's go.

What if Eun-seol appears?

Then let's ask her why she's tormenting us.

What are you looking for?

It's not something you can see.

I have good eyesight.

You still won't be able to see it.

I have a name, you know.

I'm Kang Woo.

I'm Tae Gong-sil.

Gosh.

You can hold me if you're scared.

Thank you.

Eun-seol. We came to meet you.

We have something to tell you.

Are you here?

What?

Over there.

They're people.

You're right. They seem like students.

What are those four doing there?

There are only three.

Hey, girls!

What are you doing there?

Hey, girls!

Is it you?

If we got caught, we'd have been in trouble.

We shouldn't have come here.

This is you, right?

This place hasn't changed in 15 years.

Did you come because the statute of limitations is expiring?

Did you really not see the kidnappers' faces when you were here?

JOO JUNG-WON

I didn't.

I guess if you did,

you would have died, just like Cha Hui-ju.

That's right.

She knew who the kidnappers were.

That's why she died.

-Is the curse of Kingdom true? -Of course not.

They say my wedding was canceled because of the curse.

That wasn't a curse. He had a change of heart.

Yoo Hye-seong. I will curse you.

On the day of my wedding,

a woman came with Hye-seong's old things. Do you find out who she is?

My husband said he saw her face.

If we find her, I will destroy her.

Let me know first.

I will destroy her myself.

Seeing the sun in the morning is very unpleasant because of you.

Must I see your face as soon as I get to work?

I told you to quit.

I found out.

-What? -The ghost in the photo.

I found out who she is.

Who is it?

If I tell you, will you let me work here?

If you're wrong,

you will be cleaning a jail floor.

That's her seat.

Lee Eun-seol. She died a month ago.

And those three.

They're Lee Eun-seol's friends who came to the fountain yesterday.

Then, they must be the ones who did this.

Did you really do this?

Eun-seol was your friend. Why did you do this?

We didn't do it.

Eun-seol was photographed in the photo that we took without her.

And Eun-seol sent it to us after she died.

-She's trying to torment us. -Stop talking about ghosts.

Tell me what you did.

You tormented her when she was alive and you're doing it again.

Isn't that why you did this?

We never tormented her.

Eun-seol was the one who gave us a hard time by ruining everything.

-Hey! -Hey!

You should have been careful!

What are we going to do?

This will affect our grades. What are you doing to do?

I'm so sorry. What should I do?

She was slow and dim-witted. She always ruined what we did.

You guys, I bought us drinks.

Are you trying to make it up with drinks again?

I'm so sorry. I don't have much pocket money.

Here. Apple, orange, lemon.

I got your favorites.

This looks good.

She always ate our food and she just bought drinks once in a while.

But we didn't say anything.

Lee Eun-seol was a nuisance and leeched off of us.

So did you kill her and say that she's a ghost?

She didn't die because of us.

We were so irritated that she ruined our cake that day.

So, we decided to hang out without her.

But she followed us.

We want to hang out without you today.

-What? -We want to hang out by ourselves.

You should go if you had errands here.

Oh. That's right.

I had errands to run.

I'm busy, so I'll go. Have fun.

Ga-yeong, wasn't that too straightforward?

She's so dim-witted, it's the only way she'd understand.

-Please take a photo of us. -All right.

One, two, three.

This is the photo the three of us took.

But this one came to us from Eun-seol.

Eun-seol got into a traffic accident on her way home.

I think that's why Eun-seol cursed us and sent this photo.

Crying will not make me feel bad for you.

If it came by phone,

the person who has her phone must have sent it.

It's Eun-seol's phone.

She must have sent it.

It wasn't Eun-seol.

Eun-seol isn't the one who cursed you.

You have Eun-seol's phone, right?

What?

You picked up the phone that Eun-seol lost that day.

You have it. Give it to me.

It was you?

You're the one who did it?

How could you do that?

Do you know how scared we were?

I did it to scare you guys.

I hated you guys.

Who are you to do that?

I saw you with Eun-seol on the day that she died.

Orange, apple, lemon.

Lee Eun-seol!

This is pretty.

Lee Eun-seol is dim-witted.

What if she comes back with drinks?

I bet she will.

I'm too weak-hearted to tell her I don't like her.

Let's put up this photo of the three of us on our profiles

so she'll get the idea.

Okay.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Lee Eun-seol died on the way home.

Why is that our fault? It was a traffic accident!

She used her bus fare to buy drinks for you.

And she died while she walking home.

And I couldn't stand watching how you acted after that.

Lee Ju-yeon. You were in first place again.

Kim Ga-yeong. You got a boyfriend.

Ha Yeon-jin, you're going to a clinic, so you can grow taller.

I wanted to give you a lesson, because you were doing so well.

Since Eun-seol's ghost appeared, your grades have dropped.

You broke up.

And you're getting shorter.

You must feel bad because you did something wrong.

What are you doing? Stop that at once.

Stop it.

Let me go!

-Stop it! -Hey!

This isn't what Eun-seol wanted.

Shut it. They're just trying to survive this.

The dead should not interfere with it.

Did you check everything?

They were making a fuss saying it wasn't their fault.

It was very intense.

-Excuse me. -Enough.

I found out what I wanted to know. I don't need to know how you knew.

I know because I can see everything.

Eun-seol is so sad.

I think I should let her friends know.

Did we really do something so terrible

that we deserve to be cursed?

She said Eun-seol died because of us.

She hates us.

What should we do now?

We can't explain ourselves to someone who is dead.

I'm really beside you right now.

I'll listen to what you have to say.

-It's Eun-seol. -That lady took her phone.

Then, this must be...

It's Eun-seol.

Let's just think that it is.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I thought you were a nuisance.

I was so mean to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I wish you would smile and say it's okay, like you used to.

Apple, orange, lemon.

Apple.

Orange.

Lemon.

My friends. It's okay.

Eun-seol.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What do you think she's looking at?

She's just spacing out.

Is that what you think?

I don't think I can take my eyes off her looking at the unknown.

Let's go.

-What about her? -She'll go away by herself.

Are you going to keep your promise to let her stay?

Does that mean I can keep working here?

Yes.

"I don't have the time to manage people on the cleaning crew."

That's what he said.

Do you think I could go and thank him in person?

"Make sure the unpleasant sun does not appear on my floor."

That's what he also said.

He doesn't want you to go there.

Why are you disappointed? He'll come down here anyway.

That's right.

What will happen to the girls?

Will that girl be punished for manipulating the photo?

He's going to let it pass.

I thought he was mad about the fountain.

He's very happy because of the fountain.

People come here because there's a rumor that the fountain grants wishes.

Look, a lot of coins have piled up.

Shall I throw one in, too?

Do you want to make a wish? What is your wish?

I want toys and new sneakers.

Okay.

I'll give you this, so go and say your wish loudly in front of your mom.

Your wish will come true on the second floor.

Mom, I have a wish.

Most wishes are related to consumption.

I don't care if it's a ghost or goddess as long as sales go up.

Make promotions saying that it grants wishes.

I'm going to let the photo incident pass.

Why?

Your past got talked about because of that.

If I respond, it will get more attention. If I let it pass, it will be forgotten.

Can you forget it?

Are you still alone because you think that she died because of you?

Are you still feeling guilty?

Jung-won.

I know what you'll say.

I've heard it over a thousand times.

The best excuse for the living.

"The living must go on living."

Yes, the living must go on living.

I know that. You don't have to keep saying it.

I'm scared my existence might look like I'm saying it wasn't my fault.

That's how you see me right now.

I'm just worried about you.

I know. Don't worry.

I can say this for sure.

Never did I once...

think that it was my fault.

...holds the spirit of a young woman who died unfairly.

Don't you feel sorry?

Are you still feeling guilty?

Did you really not see the kidnappers' faces when you were here?

Cha Hui-ju.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Are you okay?

Jung-won.

I'm sorry.

Joo Jung-won.

I have been wronged because you died like that.

Cha Hui-ju.

This incident had nothing to do with that case.

But there's someone around Mr. Joo that is bothering me.

It's a woman.

Hey, newbie. You're Ms. Tae, right?

How old are you?

-New girl, tell us about yourself. -I don't want to.

Gosh.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Isn't today the anniversary of your father-in-law's death?

That's right. I totally forgot.

I should get going.

How did you know, Ms. Tae?

I just...

I thought I heard you mention it before.

Thank you. I should hurry.

I think something strange is haunting him.

Should I do an exorcism?

-That woman... -Woman?

That young lady.

I think she's the one from before.

-Who? -The one who ruined the wedding.

Really?

"Tae Gong-sil."

I will remember you.

Ms. Tae Gong-sil.

Will you be done soon?

Yes, we're almost done.

Let's go home together.

What?

We live in the same place. Let's go together. I'll wait outside.

-Oh, my gosh. -Goodness.

Are you two dating?

-Do you live together? -Do you live together already?

-When did you get married? -My gosh.

You must be so happy.

-Oh, my. -I'm so jealous.

Do they already live together?

-Wow. -I can't believe it.

Isn't it too soon?

My goodness.

You must be so happy.

-"Let's go together"? -Gosh.

All right, let's go.

Let's go.

Do you see something again?

What?

Do you see something on my expensive fountain?

No, I don't see anything.

Stay out of my sight.

-Excuse me. -Why are you talking to me?

I'm really sorry.

I didn't know you had a hurtful past.

If I did, I wouldn't have told you that I saw Cha Hui-ju next to you.

"Hurtful past"?

I must have just made you feel guilty again about the past.

"Guilty"?

She probably wanted to tell you to forget everything and go on living.

It's not your fault.

Can you summon that thing you see?

Why?

If you can, summon it. I have something to say.

What?

You

evil

bitch.
