I knew you were a big flop.
What I do is art, not just murder.
Is he really the replacement for the man in room 302?
You can't judge a person by their cover.
He's scary.
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.
Of course, you do. You're a really good-looking guy.
What are you looking at?
Why do you look so startled?
He must be very sensitive. It's perfect for my taste.
You really wanted to kill him earlier, didn't you?
What?
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?"
Should I just kill him?
-They laughed. -What?
They didn't seem suppressed. They seemed to enjoy it.
Sir. You can let me off here.
I'm not going home.
I'm sorry. I have to go see Jong-u.
Sir, can you make a U-turn over there?
Jeong-hwa, wake him up.
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?
What?
Who are you?
-Don't be scared. I live here. -I see.
Are you looking for someone?
I came to see my boyfriend.
You must be here to see Jong-u.
Yes.
How did you know?
We're close.
You really are pretty just as I heard.
It seemed like he cares about you a lot.
He said something like that to you?
What about him? What did he say about the people who live here?
Everyone who lives here is insane.
He just said there are good people here.
Good people?
Oh, you should go upstairs. Men's rooms are on the third floor.
Okay.
-Send me a reply. -Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be fine.
Will you send me a reply, please?
Ji-eun, come on.
-What's wrong? -Her phone is off.
Ji-eun, what's going on, really? Damn it.
What is this? Gosh.
What brings you here this late?
Hello.
I came to see someone who lives here. His name is Yoon Jong-u.
Oh, that handsome young man? You must be his girlfriend.
Yes, is he back yet?
I don't think he's back yet.
All right.
Wait. Goodness, your hand got dirty.
Come here. Wash your hands before you go.
No, it's all right. I'm fine.
Goodness, come and wash your hands.
You have to hold your boyfriend's hand. Come here. Come.
-No, it's... I'm fine. -Make yourself at home.
Min Ji-eun. Min Ji-eun!
Min Ji-eun!
Did you find her?
-Die. Die! Die! -Ji-eun.
-Ji-eun! -Jeong-hwa!
Die!
Why won't you pick up your phone?
-Ji-eun. -Officers.
Why are you with them?
Why didn't you pick up and come so late?
First off, let's go out. Let's go.
-Handsome young man. -Calm down.
Did you think we did something bad?
-You're scaring me. -Goodness!
-Wait, I... Why are police officers here? -No way.
Come out. Follow me outside.
What's with you?
This isn't good manners!
-I told her to wash... -I got this!
Damn it. Unbelievable. Be quiet!
Ji-eun, you're okay, aren't you?
Ji-eun.
Why did you dare to go up there all by yourself?
I told you how dangerous those people are.
Jong-u.
I'll take you home. Let's go.
-I'm leaving alone. -No, come here.
-We'll take you to the main street-- -No, we'll manage.
Let me go.
Ji-eun.
And Jong-u,
there are people who only look fine
on the outside, but are much stranger than them.
They aren't pretty bad.
It's because you haven't lived here. If you tried staying here for a day,
you'll see how weird they--
Then you can just move out! Why do you live here like this?
Sorry.
Let's talk again tomorrow.
I'll go home alone.
We'll take her home safely. Yes.
Your boyfriend was really worried.
That's why we came.
-Hello. -Oh, hello.
Did something happen? There were police officers here.
It's nothing.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Do you want to grab a drink together?
-I-- -We can talk about your novel too.
I have to meet my girlfriend.
THE METAMORPHOSIS BY FRANZ KAFKA
Handsome young man.
Open the door for a second.
Young man.
-What is it? -You weren't asleep.
-How are you feeling? Are you okay? -I'm fine.
Hey, you should drink this
-and get back to sleep. -I'm fine.
This is the best drink for hangovers. It'll kick in right away.
Drink up so that I can take the bottle.
Did your girlfriend go home all right?
Yes, but Ms. Um,
a place like this... I mean, only men live here.
-Yes. -Please don't let my girlfriend in.
You'll make me really sad if you keep saying things like that.
-Will you keep doing this? -What now?
I mean, I told you last time
that there are only good people left here.
Don't get the wrong idea about them when you live--
-Please... Please just be careful. -Your neighbors will be sad too.
-Please be careful. -Even I feel like this.
Man, I'm so dizzy.
Did she spike that drink?
This isn't good.
I have to get out of here.
Yes. I can't keep living here like this.
I need to check if Ji-eun is home before I fall asleep.
Didn't he seem a little weird?
What?
The guy who came to our division.
He was talking gibberish. He seemed a little odd to me.
Do you know why people become weird?
Pardon?
It's not that you're weird,
your surroundings turn you like that.
If people say you're weird and crazy when you're the same as before,
who could keep their sanity?
That's true, but...
Officer Cho, did you say you lived in this neighborhood for long?
I didn't just live here for long. I was born here.
Then do you know anything about that residence?
I don't know anything in detail,
but a huge fire broke out in that residence before you came.
So I heard they'll close it down soon,
but the owner's wife continued to run that place after her husband died.
But there aren't many people here because this area is designated for redevelopment.
I'm not sure if it's worth any money.
I've seen a lot of people who live at a residence
while studying for the police employment test.
But people in residences rarely ever look at each other in the eyes.
It's a sort of a rule there.
You can feel that people are there, but you keep each other's privacy
by living as quietly as you can like you're a ghost.
But those people didn't seem to be like that.
Jeong-hwa,
maybe they are more like family
since that place is pretty tiny.
Did they look like a family to you?
Man, I'm sick and tired of killing cats.
Why are we sitting around like this?
Don't... Don't be so smart.
If you keep acting up,
you... you will die at once
like that man in room 302.
Do you think I'll die that easily like him?
Just... Just you wait.
I'll turn this game over at once.
At once, my ass.
You two are both scared by him.
Don't... Don't you know that you always have to look
before you leap?
Hey. We have more people.
You, me, and your brother.
And we can always knock out that lady.
Goodness.
You have no idea.
The... The scariest person in this residence
is none other than Ms. Um.
"He was so tightly tied that he couldn't...
-How's the young man in room 303? -...move an inch."
"The little legs on the side..."
-Hey, you know what? -"...and was trembling..."
-"Legs on the other side..." -We keep getting flies here.
Shouldn't we wrap this up
-and leave this area? -"From behind..."
Ms. Um, don't you know what I can do?
Goodness, of course, I know.
I made you who you are.
"However, I..."
But you failed once
with room 302.
This time, I'm sure.
So don't worry and wait a little longer, okay?
Hey, I'm not worried.
If anything, I can kill them all. Why would I be worried?
Jong-u.
Ji-eun.
Isn't that hilarious?
Ji-eun,
I told you not to come here!
Ji-eun.
This is driving me insane. I keep having weird dreams.
What's this pervert doing?
Hey,
do you have anything to say to me?
Do you have anything to say to me?
-He's so disgusting. Damn it. -Hey.
Just let me know
if you want me to kill you.
I'll kill you right away.
Hey,
kill me.
Do it. Kill me.
Kill me.
Try to kill me!
Did you think I'll be scared? Damn it.
Hey, kill me.
It's done.
That unbelievable idiot. Gosh.
Hey!
That unbelievable idiot.
-Is... Is something fun going on? -Why are you stepping in?
Just shut up, you crazy bastard.
Did...
Did you just call me
a crazy bastard?
What are you trying to do?
Huh?
So? Should we do it now?
What?
The talk.
You forgot again.
I don't think we can reach a conclusion in this way.
May I have a talk with the man in room 303?
It's not even fun anymore. Let's stop.
Everyone is just getting restless.
The guy in room 303 gets you wrong
because you keep saying weird things like that.
I think you're the one who's weirder right now, sir.
Do you think I'm joking because I've been nice all along?
So?
Should I take part in this too?
You... You
shouldn't frown.
Smile, and you will be blessed.
Let's all smile together.
Apologize. Apologize to him.
I was just bored, that's all.
He... He was just bored,
that's all. Yes.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Gosh, it's not as hot as yesterday, isn't it?
What did you want to say to me?
It's nothing special.
I wanted to break up that fight since everyone seemed upset.
So why were you fighting?
He said he'll kill me.
He's pretty weird, isn't he?
Ms. Um said his business in China went under or something like that.
But
I think he swore at you today
because you made a scene last night while you were drunk.
What?
What's he saying? I didn't make a scene.
Oh, you don't remember.
Figures. You were wasted.
You got drunk, screamed in the hallway, cussed,
knocked on everyone's door, and made a huge scene.
Me? I did that?
Check the security footage if you don't believe me. It should be there.
But I like that more.
What?
Instead of bottling everything up,
it's better to say what you want and do what you want to do.
That's more human.
I'll go down first. Come once you cool down.
Jong-u, there were bad articles published about our show after the first episode,
so we'll have to meet later tonight. Is that okay?
Yes, I'm fine. I hope things go well with your work. See you tonight.
Where did I put it? Darn it.
-Ms. Um. -Hey, come in.
May I check the security footage?
You want to see it again?
Yes, the guy in room 304 said I made a huge scene yesterday,
but I don't remember anything.
-Do you really want to see it? -Yes.
What?
Stop staring at me.
Hey,
-If you're drunk... -You need to live...
-...just go sleep, okay? -...more like a decent human.
Do you want to die?
Live like a decent human, you pervert.
Hey.
I know what happens to jerks like you.
-Live like... -Goodness.
-Why... Why are you... -Like a decent human!
...being so loud in the night?
Gosh, it's so loud.
That crazy bastard.
Hey, you asshole!
Handsome young man! Last time, he made a scene, asking me to show him
-the security footage. -Just go to sleep.
-He's pretty feisty... Goodness. -Go to sleep!
-My gosh. He's coming over again. -You crazy bastard.
Are you laughing?
Stop laughing!
Stop laughing.
Calm down.
What is this?
You know what?
You are
the creepiest guy here.
Babe, you must be awfully angry today.
Are you okay?
That happens to guys when they're drunk. It's okay.
But I like that more.
What?
Instead of bottling everything up,
it's better to say what you want and do what you want to do.
That's more human.
Wait, I...
Something suddenly came up with me,
so if I move out now, could you return at least half of my rent?
Why are you suddenly moving out?
What? I have to be near my work...
No, never mind. Okay.
Yes, sir. Our official statement was released this morning.
Yes.
I sent you the email. Please check.
Yes.
Ji-eun.
Jae-ho.
What brings you here?
I couldn't reach you on the phone, so I got worried and came.
About me?
What?
Yes. Both of you. How's Jong-u?
I just saw him off at that residence.
It seems like he's having a tough time, adapting to his life in Seoul.
Gosh.
I thought so too.
-He always tries to pick fights. -What?
He almost got into a huge fight when we were at the pub.
Goodness.
I had a tough time trying to hold him back.
Great job, Jae-ho.
Hey, keep giving him a hand for a while.
He keeps trying to fight his boss at work too.
-That senior of his? -Yes.
What's with him?
I feel really bad
for calling him over to Seoul.
-No, Jae-ho. -Gosh.
Let's give him some time. I'm sure he'll be fine.
What are you doing tomorrow?
I'm meeting Jong-u. We're going to have a talk.
I see.
What about on Sunday?
Nothing special.
That's great. Let's have a talk this weekend.
About what?
Jong-u is in serious condition. Things will get worse if we let him go on.
Oh, okay. I'll let Jong-u know. Let's have a talk.
No, let's not do that. We can meet by ourselves.
-"By ourselves"? -He might lose his temper again.
I'll talk to him. I'll call you.
He's making my life pretty difficult.
Okay, I'll call you. Go.
-We're meeting this weekend, okay? -All right. I'll call you.
Ji-eun, I'm going out for a meeting.
Yes, ma'am.
Why aren't you setting me up with your senior you mentioned?
Oh, he has been busy lately.
You are leading him on, aren't you?
What?
Come on, you know what I'm talking about.
I'll be back.
Grandma. What was Grandpa like?
A good person. He had been nothing but good.
Come on, a person can't always be good.
My husband said,
"If you believe someone is a kind and a good person,
that person can be as good as, no, even better than
who you expect them to be." That's what he said.
He left the door open again.
Wow, this guy is total human garbage.
I seriously want to get out of this place already.
What are you watching?
Oh, this is my colleague's case.
Have you seen the remote control?
I keep telling you to leave it
-where it belongs. -Dad. Listen up.
People are disappearing one after the other at a residence.
But my colleague thinks
that residence has something to do with those missing person cases.
-A case? -Yes.
There's speculation, but no evidence.
That's why he's troubled.
But it really gets on my nerves.
What about it?
It's a residence.
Yes, so what about the residence?
All you can do is lie down and sleep in that tiny room.
If something like that happens to you there,
it's way too heartbreaking.
Goodness, you're so nosy.
Come on. Don't be so hard on me if you won't help.
I doubt it's a one-man crime.
Right?
I mean, think about it.
There are a lot of security cameras and people who are watching
-at a residence. -You're right.
And if someone had been doing this all alone,
it will be difficult to hide the evidence without any traces.
And I'm sure there's a leader among them.
"A leader"?
My gosh, you're so slow. Will you try to think?
Just give me a hand, please.
-I'm trying to watch TV. -Please?
-So... -Yes.
If they're
murdering people together,
they flock around whoever that's the strongest.
Once the leader assigns roles, they move together according to the plan.
"According to the plan."
That's why it's difficult to find any traces.
I'm sure there's a leader who's taking the initiative.
Is she the one?
It could be someone else.
But this is somehow related to this woman anyway.
Then I'll have to look into her first. Thanks, Dad.
Hey, wait. Why are you looking into that?
Dad, this is bad. Get ready. I forgot about the movie time. Hurry.
What's with her?
Do you like it?
Yes.
This room is 350,000 won.
A lot of people came by today, so you better seal the contract soon.
Or you can put down some money.
-May I go in and take a look? -Yes, take your time.
How much is this place?
-This room is 250,000 won. -It's 250,000won?
-You have to decide today. -Today?
A room this cheap won't stick around until tomorrow.
Hey, do you really want to move in here?
I'm thinking about it right now.
I'm only telling you this because I'm not the owner.
-I wouldn't live here if I were you. -Why not?
Man, this is crazy.
An old man who lived here passed away recently.
-What? -You know, he lived alone and died alone.
The owner kept insisting that it wasn't the case,
but a cleaning company recently came and took everything away.
Man.
Then will that have an impact on the price
and bring the rent down?
Hey, a person died here. Do you still want to live here?
I mean, if the price goes a little lower,
I might consider it.
Look at how I just got chills. I can't live in a place like this.
You can't lead a normal life here.
All right, then. I'll think about it.
-Really? -Yes.
Dad, how's this color?
I'm tired. Just get anything. Let's go already.
I can't just get anything. Look at me. How's this?
You said we're going to the movies. They all look the same. Get whatever.
How are these the same? You're mean.
Help me as the legend of the Special Detective Division.
-It's tough to choose one. -Goodness.
That's an ancient story.
You're really mean.
What is it?
What's wrong?
I thought I just saw my dentist.
-Is he a guy? -Yes.
-Is he hot? -Yes.
He's really hot, but it's not like that.
I know how a man is when I get one look at his face.
What? I thought you said that was an ancient story.
Goodness, but I can still tell who's a good guy to be your boyfriend.
This one looks the best on you.
Okay. Let's go. Let's hurry. Hurry up.
-What? I'll get both, okay? -Okay.
-Really? -Yes.
Should I ask Jae-ho for an advance?
Even if he does give me an advance,
I'll have less than a million won after paying for everything.
How can I afford to live in a room that costs 400,000 won?
-You know my friend, Su-yeong? -Su-yeong? Yes.
The guy she's marrying doesn't own a house.
He lives in a rented house.
Wasn't he rich? He pretended like he was well-off.
Exactly. That's why Su-yeong is completely blown.
I can't believe he doesn't own a home at that age. What a loser.
Isn't it absurd?
How could a loser like him want to date someone?
Exactly.
-Hey, let's go inside and talk. -Okay.
Did you see him?
Yes, his eyes looked awful.
-Hey, let's go. I'm hungry. -Okay.
-What are we eating? -This one.
You eat it.
This is driving me insane. Why do I keep seeing him?
Hey, Ji-eun.
Ji-eun.
What's wrong? Is something going on?
Oh, I think it was that guy from the residence.
That guy?
Did you run into him yesterday?
His hair is about this long, and he has a pale face.
He wears a shirt that comes down to here--
He must be here to watch a movie. Or it may have been someone else.
Listen.
Last time, he came
all the way to my work.
I think he has been following--
Jong-u, please.
Will you stop?
Why do you take things so far?
I mean,
you aren't the only one who lives in a residence.
There are a lot of weird people when you're out in the real world.
Why do you get overly sensitive?
Do I look like a loser to you too?
What?
-Jong-u, you're too much. -What's too much?
Ji-eun.
Can't you of all people hear me out?
I'm leaving. You're making me tired.
Fine, go.
You only listen to what you want to hear.
Get a good rest this weekend.
Hey, Hyeon-ho.
Did you find out something?
Something isn't right about that woman.
Really? Give me a second.
Okay, shoot.
First off, she married twice,
but she doesn't have any children, and both her husbands died in accidents.
And her parents died in an accident too.
Okay.
And here's the scariest point.
She took everyone's death benefits.
It's about a billion won.
"A billion won"? Okay.
Then she started an orphanage with the death benefits,
but that orphanage had fire insurance, so she got a lot of benefits from that.
I see. Okay.
And she took over that residence once her husband died.
Jeong-hwa,
shouldn't we pass this over to the Detective Division?
Right?
We should do that.
But all we have now are speculations.
Anyway, thanks, Hyeon-ho.
Yes. I'll see you tomorrow. Okay.
Hello.
Goodbye.
This is odd.
Why is it so quiet today?
Who are you?
Hi, I'm the new guy across the hall.
By any chance, may I borrow your charger?
A new guy?
Excuse me.
-Hello. -May I help you?
Oh, hi.
I have to use my phone later in the night,
but I don't have a charger.
May I borrow yours?
Thank you.
The convenience store right down the hill has chargers.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you. I'll return it right away. Thank you.
Hey, stop it. Put that away.
Why do we always have to clean up the mess?
Do you want to cut this, then?
Hey, do you think this is easy?
I always need pain relief patches after I do this.
Be quiet, you idiot!
Be quiet.
Why do we have to be quiet? Why?
Be quiet, you idiot.
Did you eat something bad today, asshole?
Are you afraid that room 303 might find out?
If he does, we can just kill him.
You idiot. You were frightened before.
Who was frightened?
-Him? -I... I wasn't scared.
Me?
Do you want me to show you?
Show me.
They said no one lives on that floor.
But why do I keep hearing things ever since the day I moved in?
Show me.
Don't... Don't get smart, you idiot.
I'll really do it.
Is anybody there?
Good.
He came to die on his own. We can just end him here.
I thought he was a quiet guy.
He's a total nutcase though.
Is anybody there?
Mom, one second.
Hey, Mom.
Die,
asshole.
Yes, Mom.
Where are you?
Me? Now?
Where else would I be?
I'm at home. Why?
It's a rule to be quiet at a residence.
You lived here long enough to know that.
I really love this work right now.
So I don't care who it is.
Whoever that tries to tamper with my artwork,
I will not condone them. Okay? Do you understand?
Well, I...
Why?
Do you want to leave this place too?
There... There's no way.
I love this work so much.
Okay.
Deuk-su took the train to heaven first?
Okay, okay. It'll be great to be there quickly.
Mr. Byun, will you listen to what I say and do a better job?
Of... Of course.
I... I love this work
so
mu... much.
Anyway, what's wrong with your voice?
I had a dream about you, but it was really strange.
Is everything all right?
Yes, everything is fine.
Jong-u,
be careful with people.
People are the most frightening above anything else.
Okay. Don't worry about me and get to sleep.
It's tough to go out to the market early in the morning.
-Jong-u. -Yes?
It must be tough.
No...
Come on. Don't worry about something like that.
I'm not a baby.
Children will always be a baby to their parents.
Okay, get to sleep.
Okay. Don't open the window even if it gets hot.
Okay. I'm hanging up. Go to sleep.
Anyway, who went in there?
Whatever. Let's not get bothered.
Who are you?
Run away.
I said, run away.
If someone tries to go into my room
or open the door, could you take a picture of them?
Man in room 303.
-Help me... -You know, this is all because of you.
Come here. Let's eat.
Have you heard of Saemteo Orphanage?
They use the same name as my dentist's office.
Hey, have you gone insane?
We have nowhere to go now because of you.
Don't laugh like that.
