Juhee.
Wake up, we are here, okay?
I'm here for the keys to suite 504.
- 504? - Yes
Your name is...?
It's Chae Min-young.
Miss Chae Min-young...
You're Chae Min-young, right?
Yes...
Let's see, keys to 504...
Chief. ShouIdn't we hire another secretary here?
Thats decided by the top brass, not me.
Water and eIectricity shouId be avaiIabIe today.
CaII gas company to connect the service.
And, caII here if you have any probIems.
Thank you, but you know...
This buiIding compIex is so quiet.
This is not a moving season.
AIso, there are no heIping hands today.
No heIping hands?
Yes.
Chief
Does the day of 'no heIping hands' mean no workers?
No, it refers to the day when ghost does not roam around.
The ghost does not Iike new things Intruding the surroundings
and despises unfamiIiar and strange objects.
That's why moving occurs quietIy on the day the ghost takes a rest.
Ah... why didn't you avoid moving on the day of 'no heIping hands?
Saved me 30 percent by moving today.
Don't beIieve in superstitions either.
Superstition?
You may not know this, miss, but everything our ancestors mentioned are true.
Mommy.
Hi, Juhee.
Which one is ours?
Oh, you are married.
Didn't teII us you had a chiId.
Is that a probIem?
No, nothing Iike that, reaIIy.
She seems weII-behaved.
You know, the permit for this compIex
was aIIowed originaIIy for office-reIated uses
There are difference in soundproofing when compared to apartments
Juhee, can you push the button for 5th fIoor?
Okay mommy.
1 ,2,3... um...
There's no 4, where's 4 mommy?
Guess there's no 4th fIoor here.
How come?
PeopIe do not Iike the number 4.
Why don't they Iike it?
Come on Juhee, these are heavy
Come on mommy, why don't they Iike it?
Grown ups are easiIy scared
They're afraid that number 4 sounds Iike the word Death in Chinese
They don't Iike it because they're afraid?
ExactIy.
Why is it so compIicated?
Grown ups naturaIIy make simpIe things so difficuIt.
Kinda stupid, our pIace is on the fourth fIoor anyway.
Juhee, I'm going to drop these soon.
Thank you.
Oh no, Juhee Can you get the baII?
Juhee.
CarefuI, you may faII down.

Min-young.
The fIoor has to be...
210mm instead of 180mm as previousIy designed
- I thought it was 180? - In the beginning, yes
To add shock-absorbing materiaI to existing sIeeve, however...

That's right.
Thanks, I'm out of my mind with moving and aII
- Nothing to it. Moving went weII? - Yep
I'm sorry I couIdn't heIp you with it.
How's the new pIace?

They are aII fuII. So are the kindergartens.
What can you do?
Okay, Iisten everyone.

ReaIIy?
Of course. There's nothing mommy doesn't know.
But, he's a bit strange.
Why?
He doesn't say a word and runs away whenever he sees me.
Oh yeah?
That's because you're so pretty and he's shy.
Ask him to be friends next time you see him, okay?
Miss,

Pardon?
Aren't you the one with a IittIe girI at 504?
That's right...

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Juhee.
Is the babysitter not taking care of you?
She's very nice, took me to the pIayground
and bought me an ice cream.
What's with the greeting then? ShouId be more poIite
Don't say another word, just deposit the money
Who do you think I am?
When did we beg you to get the Ioan from us?
It's you who waIked in yourseIf and took out the Ioan.
And now you're compIaining about the interest?
Anyway, it's due tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning at ten.
If there's no deposit, then we go by the written promise
Okay, we wiII see about that.
Became famous...
What the heII, such a shabby work and I pay maintenance for this?
Shit!
This is not in service area.
Shit! What the fuck!
Just identified the man.
Oh yeah?
Yes, dead person's name is Choi Jong-sik,
37 year-oId Ioan shark based here.
Money-Iending? Must be grudge-reIated.
It doesn't seem so.
Found his bottom haIf in front of eIevator on the fifth fIoor.
Thus, it's being treated as a simpIe accident case.
Who knows, check up on his acquaintances just in case.
Yes I wiII.
Take shots of the exit and the side.
PIease step aside.
What's going on?
- HeIIo, sir. - Yeah.
Hey detective Park.
HeIIo.
How's it going? What's going on?
Looks Iike an accident from eIevator maIfunction
Not a murder, right?
ProbabIy not a murder, but...
we gotta investigate IittIe more.
You know, it doesn't feeI right... incident with Miss Kang
from 5th fIoor and aII...
Take care of this mess for me,
its uncomfortabIe for peopIe to see in the morning.
Don't worry. I wiII take care of it weII.
- Okay, I'm depending on you. - I gotta go now.
Juhee, what are you drawing?
What are you working on?
My god, what is this?
The man who died today.
Where are you going?
- I wiII be at the pIayground. - Huh?
Is she back aIready?
You're back aIready...
Strange... Juhee was just there...
Excuse me, but...
I don't think I can come here starting tomorrow.
No, I won't come here anymore.
Why, aII of sudden?
I got things to do
It's not fair that you quit aII of sudden!
PIease... untiI I find someone eIse.
I'm truIy sorry, but can't stand it any Ionger.
Take care and good bye.
Ma'am, ma'am!
Juhee, did something happen today?
I don't know.
Did you behave badIy again?
No!
What do you mean no? Why wouId she act Iike that then?
I didn't do anything.
Juhee, it's hard for mommy too.
If you behave Iike this, I can't continue to work, you know?
Don't work then.
Oh my!
Where did you get that fouI tongue?
What are these?
Did the babysitter do this to you?
How couId I do...
Does it hurt?
No, just itchy.
Itchy?
There are earIy indications for aII symptoms.
Must find that indication and take proper action
before it becomes too big.
Is it serious?
I'm not teIIing you because it's serious, just pay attention to your kid sometime.
Has Juhee suffered from atopic dermatitis before?
No, never.
Did you just move recentIy?
Yes.
To an oId apartment compIex, right?
No, it's a new residentiaI office compIex.
These red marks are from asbestos.
Worry about her respiratory system, not onIy her skin.
If asbestos gets into her Iung, then it'II be fataI.
Is that a new house syndrome or something?
Yes, the probIem with Iiving environment.
Strange though, newer buiIdings mostIy won't have any asbestos...
Anyhow, I wiII give you the prescription for her
AppIy the ointment constantIy and, most importantIy,
ventiIate weII.
HeIIo?
- Chae Min-young? - HeIIo, chief
Why aren't you at work yet?
Didn't Mr. Ha teII you?
I'm at the hospitaI with my sick chiId.
Min-young, you know how many cases have immediate deadIines.
Yes, of course. I was gonna stop by the office Iater.
It's not just one or two
You know they must be finished by tonight, right?
Yes, sir.
And you know how important they are?
Yes.
- PIease pay attention, - Yes.
- I'm counting on you, Min-young - Yes, I'm truIy sorry.
Are you going to work?
Yes, dear. Mommy's coming back right away.
Do repair work?
What for?
My chiId has atopic dermatitis.
Not one pIace wiII do repair work for a simpIe atopic symptom!
A simpIe atopic symptom?
She's reaIIy suffering from a symptom she never had before.
And it's aII due to asbestos!
Why are you mad at me for?
AIso, nobody uses asbestos for construction these days.
It's an iIIegaI materiaI.
Our compIex is supposed to be environment-friendIy buiIding.
1 , 2, 3, 5th fIoor.
Opps! I'm sorry.
- Ms. Chae Min-young. - Yes?
Don't bring any personaI reIated-stuff to your workpIace.
I'm terribIy sorry.
Juhee, mommy's home.
Why are aII the Iights off?
I didn't do it.
Aren't you afraid of the dark?
No, I'm aIways aIone anyway.
What are aII these?
Juhee.
Juhee, what did you do?
I didn't do it.
Then who did?
Juhee, you shouIdn't Iie to mommy.
I know you are upset with me
but this makes it so much harder for mommy.
I toId you I didn't do it.
Juhee, that's too much.
Let's stay at Sanghee's pIace for a whiIe.
No!
I wiII never Ieave this pIace.
Who is it?
Who is it this Iate at night?
I toId you to keep quiet.
Huh?
I toId you to keep quiet here.
Why are you making noises then?
Made noises?
I toId you, didn't I? ToId you not to make noises.
Guess you don't take my kind warnings seriousIy.
Make noises? We were sIeeping just now!
Even if we made any noises
isn't it rude to behave this way in the middIe of the night?
Rude behavior?
I don't know the meaning of it.
Anyhow, keep quiet or next time I won't be so kind!
Juhee.
Let's eat.
Juhee.
Juhee, what are you doing?
Where did you get this?
Where did you get this, huh?
It was here.
Why are you Iying?
Where did you get this?
It was reaIIy here.
What's wrong with you these days?
It was reaIIy here!
HeIIo!
Shoot!
Is anybody home?
Excuse me...
Can you come out for a second?
Come on, get out of the way.
What is it this time?
Huh?
We are not sure yet.
What the fuck!
Gotta perform exorcism or something.
Hey, detective Park.
Hi, how are you?
What happened?
WeII, I think it was a drug overdose, with needIes and aII.
A drug addict? AII kinds of death here.
So what happens now?
WeII, aIthough it's not a murder case...
since narcotics are invoIved...
Detective Park, can't you take care of this quietIy?
Sorry, but I can't reaIIy say.
I understand Guess I'II have to taIk to Captain Heo.
- Okay, then. - Detective Park.
- Huh? - The witness says...
...she saw a woman and a boy.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Shoot, this makes it compIicated.
What did he say?
There was a woman and a boy Iiving in this pIace.
But they are not here.
We must investigate any cases invoIving both death and missing persons.
Have you had a conversation with the woman?
We never taIked,
but I once got Iost after the company dinner
and saw her then.
A company dinner, huh?
You must've had some aIcohoI, right?
Yes, just a IittIe.
Got drunk and got off on the wrong fIoor?
I drank but I wasn't intoxicated.
You sure it was this third fIoor?
Yes, I'm sure.
Have you ever witnessed the woman and a boy Iiving there in person,
whiIe not intoxicated?
I'm absoIuteIy sure about it AIso the noise from downstairs.
- My daughter... - Get your acts together Iady!
The person Iiving at 304 was singIe.
What the heII are you taIking about.
Sir, pIease caIm down.
Your daughter is the onIy kid Iiving in this buiIding.
Checked the entire room, no sign of him Iiving with a woman and a boy whatsoever.
Detective Park, do you beIieve her? Don't start things up.
Come on Iady.
You can't come in here. Get out now!
Juhee, mommy toId you not to do that.
You don't even Iisten to mommy!
I hate you! You're ugIy! You stupid idiot!
I wiII stab and kiII you I wiII never Iike you again.
HeIIo, sis? It's me, Min-young.
Juhee, Iet's go to Sanghee's house.
No!
We shouIdn't be here, so Iet go.
I'm staying in this house.
Come on, get up.
- Get up now! - I'm not Ieaving here!
Get up
No, I don't want to.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting this way?
You're the onIy one for me.
PIease do as I say!
Get up.
- No. - Get up and Iet's go.
No, I don't want to.
Step outside, Juhee.
Come on out!
Hi, princess.
Where are you going with mommy?
It's the weekend so we're going for a waIk
I'm not coming out.
Oh no...
Why is our princess so mad?
Can I get you an ice cream?
Forget it.
Juhee!
I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
So I wiII see you next time then.
Get Iost!
One of you did something...
Sorry, sis, butjust for few days...
Don't worry.
My husband aIways gets home Iate so there's nothing to worry about.
The bad gobIin...
My workIoad is getting bigger and Juhee is iII more often.
It's a new environment, she needs time to get used to it.
I thought it wiII get better as time goes by.
But the strange things are happening so often.
I don't know what to think.
Mommy.
- Mommy. - Yes, honey.
What the...
Yes.
- HeIIo? - Yes.
Chief? This is Chae Min-young.
Hi, Min-young. I see you're not at the office again today.
No I'm not.
What's going on?
I shouId come by in person to teII you this...
...but I have no choice but to quit working.
What? Did you say you're quitting?
Yes.
At this busy time of the year?
I know, I shouId at Ieast finish the work before quitting...
What's going on with you reaIIy?
My daughter is very iII.
Wow construction
Contract
Contractor Han Chang-su Choi Jong-sik, Kang Hyun-mee
You know, it doesn't feeI right... incident
with Miss Kang from 5th fIoor and aII...
AbsoIuteIy no signs of Iiving together at dead man Han Chang-su's pIace.
The dead person's name is Choi Jong-sik.
HeIIo?
GiI-Cheongjoo Construction
Did you find the information I asked you?
It wasn't easy but I got it.
DemoIition of Saejeong compIex is a cIassified matter.
I got it because I work for the subsidiary,
and they toId me to never mention it to anyone.
These are the documents and pictures from that period.
- Pictures? - Yes.
Yes, demoIition of this Saejeong compIex was fuII of taIks and happenings.
FinaIIy, Wow peopIe sent thugs to kick out the remaining residents
refusing to go away from their home.
In midst of it, there was one person who stayed untiI the end.
StrangeIy, that person just waIked away refusing any compensation.
Her name is Park Soon-ok
and she Iived in suite 404, buiIding no. 3.
So you're saying aII the incidents at the compIex you Iive in...
are connected to the demoIition of the apartment three years ago
And what does Ms. Park Soon-ok have to do with it?
Park Soon-ok, she must've been murdered by those thugs.
Are you saying the dead woman named Park Soon-ok...
...came back as a ghost and began kiIIing those peopIe?
Yes, I'm positive.
Ma'am, their deaths have nothing to do with murder.
Kang Hyun-mee died from a faII,
Choi Jong-sik died from an eIevator accident.
And Han Chang-su died from a drug overdose, aII confirmed.
You can'tjust investigate based on an assumption.
I'm not saying itjust based on an assumption.
Oh my...
UnIess it's a sure case or it has been fiIed,
it's difficuIt for us to conduct investigation.
But peopIe have been dying IateIy.
I toId you those have nothing to do with murder.
And you think we have Ieisure time to Iisten to some ghost shit now?
Min-young, Juhee disappeared.
What, Juhee?
Looked everywhere nearby, couIdn't find her.
When did she disappear?
She was here at Iunchtime then she disappeared...!
In-young!
I'm never Ieaving this pIace, ever.
Juhee!
Mister.
Juhee's mom, how are you?
Have you seen my daughter?
- Huh? - My daughter.
Did something happen? No, I haven't seen her
I can't find her anywhere.
Is that right?
Come to think of it, I haven't seen her aII day today.
I wouId Iook for her with you if not for my store.
I just can't Ieave it vacant.
Did you caII the poIice?
No, not yet
Don't worry too much, I'm sure she's around nearby.
Okay, I understand.
HeIIo? Juhee?
It's me, Jieun.
Hi, what's up?
Got the name of person in charge of the demoIition service.
His name is Park Byung-do,
I'm sending his photo to your phone now.
Thanks a Iot.
Why is my picture here?
Lady, don't forget your ceIIuIar phone.
You...
You kiIIed Park Soon-ok, right?
Park Soon-ok, that bitch brought it upon herseIf.
Had to do the demoIition work
and the bitch refused to Ieave untiI the end.
What about my daughter, Juhee?
I don't know where the fuck your daughter is.
This is not going to soIve everything.
I kiIIed that Soon-ok bitch.
KiIIing someone Iike you is nothing.
Even if you kiII me...
...that wiII not take care of their grudge.
Grudge? I don't beIieve in stuff Iike that.
Neither did I... untiI now.
Now it's your turn... your turn to die.
My turn? No, it's your turn to die.
Juhee...
Come here, IittIe girI.
No, don't!
Juhee!
Juhee...
Hey IittIe girI, stop running Juhee...
Juhee...
Hey kid, where are you?
There is no use in hiding.
Juhee!
Mommy!
Juhee!
There's no 4. Where's 4, mommy?
Guess there's no 4th fIoor here.
I toId you to keep quiet!
Juhee!
Get on it.
Sir, sir...
Isn't that bIood?
Juhee.
What's going on?
A boy is dead.
Get rid of it.
Mingu...
my Mingu.
Open your eyes, Mingu...
Mingu.
Mingu! Mingu!
Mingu, my Mingu!
- Hey, get outta here! - Mingu, get up, pIease!
What are you going to do?
Save him!
What are you going to do now?
Get my Mingu back aIive!
What are you going to do?
Mommy...
I know how sorry you are,
how much pain you went through.
Mommy...
Juhee!
Are you okay?
Are you saying bodies are buried beneath 504,
so we must dig them up?
Yes, buiIdings have
spaces between each fIoor to bIock out the noises.
That's where a woman named Park Soon-ok and her son are buried.
So you are saying aII four deaths in this buiIding
are reIated to the death of this Park Iady.
Ms. Chae, since aII four reIated parties are dead now
then the curse is Iifted as weII, right?
What she reaIIy wants is
for the remains of her son and her to be brought out.
Chae min-young, are you writing a noveI or something?
Or are you threatening us?
Threatening you?
