(All places, names, organizations, groups...)
(and religions in this drama are fictitious.)
I see.
Okay.
I want to see him.
I'll come straight back after work.
This should be fun.
Hello.
I'll deal with things here.
You were...
a failure.
I'm creating art.
It's not just murder.
Why...
Why did you do this without my permission?
We have rules, you know.
You've done well so far.
Honey.
Are you the new guy?
Yes.
The landlady told me about you. You moved into Unit 303.
Yes.
Isn't it nice up here?
The rooms are suffocating, just like a coffin.
If you have a beer up here, you feel much better.
You would.
Why do you keep smiling at me?
Sorry if that was offensive.
No.
I just...
- like it? - What?
Do you want a beer? I just bought it. It's still cold.
Did you hurt your hand?
Yes, at work.
Your work must be rough if you hurt your hand.
You have very sensitive fingers.
Are you a writer?
How do you know?
Every person has their mood or feel.
I do something similar.
I dismantle, assemble,
and recreate.
Who is he? He's being too friendly.
What genre do you like?
I like...
crime fiction.
How fascinating. I like crime too.
Do you?
I like Raymond Chandler.
Ray... Really?
Yes.
I like him too.
But... To be honest, I never thought...
I'd meet someone who likes him here.
Not many people know Raymond Chandler.
- Did you read "The High Window"? - Yes, of course I did.
Wow, that's so weird.
- If you don't mind... - What?
Could you tell me what you're writing now?
- My story? - Yes.
It's not finished yet.
Just tell me the plot.
- My story? - Yes.
I'm still working on it but...
It's...
It's about a pianist with a seemingly very promising future,
but it turns out he's a serial killer on a rampage.
Weird, right?
But there are such people around us.
They look normal on the outside,
- but inside, they want to kill. - Yes.
How does he kill?
What?
Your character, the pianist.
He has his own method, his signature.
On the night before a recital,
with his bare hands, without using any tools,
he strangles someone to death.
Then he observes until they die.
Continuously.
The psychology behind what he does is,
with his two hands which are very pale and slender,
he wants to feel the heat slowly leave the body.
With his own hands.
You've done well so far.
Honey.
That's great.
- Well. - It sounds great.
I think I talked too much.
But...
I don't think it's fading.
What if it's burning up?
What?
So...
when his hands strangle the victim,
instead of the cold keys of a piano,
maybe he feels the heat of a thousand degrees.
Don't you think that's what he wants to feel...
Excuse me. You're the author.
Not at all. I'm not an author yet.
You'll do very well.
Cheers.
What a relief.
He seems to be the most normal one around here.
Goodnight.
- Bye. - Bye.
When his hands strangle the victim,
instead of the cold keys of a piano,
maybe he feels the heat of a thousand degrees.
Don't you think that's what he wants to feel?
I could add that to my novel.
I think I left my laptop open.
It won't have closed on its own.
(Die, die, die...)
(I'm scared. I want to leave. I think he enters my room.)
Hey. Did you go into his room?
Are you all teasing me?
Why would I go in there when I have my own room?
Was that guy in my room too?
No, let's not get too worked up.
I might really end up going crazy like that guy.
(Episode 3)
(A Secret Whisper)
Why did he kill him?
I was going to do it.
Now I'm upset.
You're not it.
Come and take the tarp!
He's crazy.
Come on.
Darn it.
What are you doing? Hey.
- What are you doing? - Playing with fire.
Why is it just me?
Darn it. I'm dead tired.
Hikers will start showing up soon. Get digging.
Darn it.
It's so hot.
(Somewhere in a mountain)
It's so darn hot.
So darn hot.
Die. Die.
Die. Die. Die. Die.
Die.
I'm so hot.
It's cooler now.
It's hard to find places like this now.
How many has it been now? Darn it.
Spray that thoroughly.
Make sure to clean up anything that could be evidence.
Get the license place too.
It's not like we killed him.
Not the policeman.
That guy.
We do all the cleaning up.
Do you think I don't have insurance?
Wake up, you idiot!
Your rank and name.
Private Yun Jong Woo.
What a small voice. You're so out of it.
Did you fall asleep?
No, sir.
Now you're lying.
Head down.
I said head down.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes, I said.
If you want to sleep,
sleep in that position.
Why did I dream about being in the army?
Even the shared toilet reminds me of the army.
That guy's beyond help.
Does he want to do that so early in the morning?
He didn't check out my laptop, did he?
I don't like this feeling.
I don't see the guy who spat on me.
I was hoping to complain.
Hello.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
You seemed to have a nightmare. I heard something.
I did? I'm sorry.
It's fine. You can even hear people breathing in other rooms.
True.
There are walls, but we pretty much live together.
By the way, have you seen the man next to my room?
- Unit 302? - Yes.
What about him?
I haven't seen him since last night.
That reminds me. I haven't seen the thug either.
Isn't that strange?
Even though we live together, we don't know each other.
It seems it's a manner to ignore them.
True.
No one wanted to live here on their will.
How about some beer after work tonight?
I can't. I'm actually meeting my girlfriend tonight.
- You have a girlfriend? - Yes.
Right. Since you're so handsome.
I'll get going first.
Let's have a beer some other time.
Sure. No rush.
Oh, hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's not deal with them.
Are you getting ready for work?
You're very diligent for a young man.
You didn't dry yourself well.
You're like a baby.
Come in. Have some breakfast. I'll make you a fried egg.
I don't eat breakfast.
What?
- Ma'am. Ma'am. - Yes?
What?
The doors don't open without keys, right?
Of course they don't.
- Did something go missing? - It's nothing.
And also,
can you tell Unit 313...
to keep his door closed?
Why? I can't really tell him.
I guess he finds the small room stifling.
- He stinks so much. - He stinks?
Also, he watches too much porn.
- What's porn? - What?
Okay, okay. I'll talk to him.
- Thank you. - Yes.
You're cute. Have a good day at work.
Gosh.
This will prove if someone was in my room.
Okay.
Take a picture of it.
The door is locked too.
What is wrong with this guy?
Let's just ignore him.
What's he holding behind him?
Unit 313.
Oh, have a good day at work.
Yes.
Bye.
If you're done getting the air out, close the door.
I keep getting complaints.
Close the door.
(Eden Studio)
Did you take care of it?
Yes, it's what I do.
Take care of Unit 310 today too.
Yes, I will.
(Ji Eun. We're going to have dinner tonight, right?)
(Yes, let's meet up tonight!)
My.
What are you doing here alone?
Did you eat?
What about your mom?
Where's your mom? Why are you alone?
Did you eat? I guess you haven't.
- Welcome. - Do you have cat food here?
- Cat food? - Yes.
It's in the daily supplies section.
What are you doing?
Why do you keep feeding cats?
Don't feed them.
You're attracting cats.
What are you doing?
It's too noisy to sleep at night.
(Missing)
Excuse me.
It's all right.
Do you...
happen to know Kumail?
Do you know my husband?
When are you going to clean this up?
Today?
Mrs. Eom is actually complaining that it stinks.
Sir. Sir!
Get up. It will be over soon.
- This is fun. - It's going to be over soon.
What's wrong with him? We didn't even anaesthetize him.
Open your eyes.
Let me see.
I'll chop his neck.
You guys clean up after.
Promise me you'll give me his wrists.
I can't wait to work on the new guy.
He seems very soft.
Be careful.
Didn't you see Unit 302 dying?
If anything goes wrong, you could all die too.
My goodness. How scary.
Sir.
Unit 302. The man you like...
The man you were scared of. He's dead.
Let me see.
Halibut.
Rockfish.
This is a blowfish.
- Gosh. - It's about a span long.
Yes, Ji Eun. I'm on my way to work.
You must be very busy lately.
Yes, we're launching four projects this month.
I'm tired. What about you?
Well... It's only been a day,
but my predecessor is very prickly.
He was very strict with me even on the first day.
Still, try to get on with him.
There's nothing good about going on the wrong side.
If you're going to be on the phone, come out.
Think about people in line.
Okay. I'll be out.
Sorry. I have to go. I'll call you later.
Okay. Talk to you later. Bye.
Boyfriend?
Yes.
The writer?
Yes.
He hasn't debuted yet, has he?
No.
I bet it's not easy...
especially when everyone's saying they're writers.
You probably know since you're in the field,
don't you?
Bye now.
Ji Eun.
Yes?
Are you sure you checked for typos?
I did.
There are typos even though you checked?
I only glanced at it and already found three.
What if it was passed to the printing department already?
It's about our pride. Don't you agree?
I'm sorry. I'll go fix it.
You know I'm a perfectionist.
I'm sensitive about that.
You keep making basic mistakes.
I'm sorry.
Get back to work.
(Project proposal)
(What's the point of news if people aren't watching?)
My husband doesn't answer his phone.
My husband never does that.
He called me every day.
My husband lives here.
Did you notice anything suspicious or different...
the last time you talked to him?
He said he was scared.
Scared?
(Eden Studio 3rd floor)
Eden Studio...
You didn't live together?
The restaurant I work at is far away.
Since we have to make money,
we had to be separated.
My husband said that place was scary.
He said strange people...
were trying to kill him.
Kill him?
It's all my fault.
You know what?
Three things are missing in studios.
There are no students, no sunlight,
and no one who looks for us.
But you made people...
to look for us.
That's against the studio rules.
You should've been careful.
But it doesn't matter.
The man who came to see you is dead.
Zip all the way down.
You make me say it all the time.
You'll soon be dead too.
But I...
- Hello. - Oh, Jong Woo's here.
He's our new intern.
This is Reporter Jo Yu Cheol.
- Nice to meet you... - Did you forget...
to send me what I asked yesterday?
I'm sorry. I forgot. I'm sorry.
Still, you didn't forget to come to work.
- Reporter Jo. You're here. - Oh, yes.
CEO isn't coming until afternoon.
- What? - Hangover.
Can you believe it? In this peak season?
That's right. He drank a lot last night.
It seems everyone's slacking off.
You think the show promotion is easy?
You're writing an article without even watching the play.
What are you trying to say?
- Nothing. - Goodness.
You're scaring me. I should leave.
I'll come back later to meet the CEO.
- Yes, bye. - Bye.
Seriously.
Good work by yourself.
Is he a pervert?
He made so much fuss in the morning. I hate him.
- Mr. Intern. - Yes?
What's your name?
- It's Yun Jong Woo. - Right. Jong Woo.
Come here for a second.
We're so busy. You need to get to work right away.
Do you know how to make powerpoint?
- I learned... - Just look at the manual...
in the back and organize it.
If you're stuck, ask General Manager Park.
Okay.
Let's see.
Say don't kill me.
Let me see.
Please stop.
I won.
Give me your wrist.
He didn't say don't kill me.
My turn.
It's my turn now. Wait.
- What are you doing? - I made a bet too.
You said what.
You heard him too, right?
- You liar. - Gosh.
Gosh.
I'm usually good,
but it's going to hurt because you're not under anaesthesia.
What can you do? You have no choice but to bear.
All right. All right.
It'll be over soon.
(Soh Jung Hwa)
(Byun Deuk Jong)
It's not 13.
What?
- Jung Hwa. - Only one.
(78 Bunseon-Gil, Ijwaro, Hwagunri, Gyeonggi Province, Byun Deuk Jong)
I have absolutely no idea what to do.
Mr. Park. I'm sorry, but can you take a look at this?
So I...
What?
You can't even do something that simple?
How did you even graduate?
If you got in through connection, you need to work hard.
What have you done since you got to work today? Wasting time?
Did you go straight to sleep after work yesterday?
Did you go over your work?
I'm sorry.
[Outlaw Ver] OCN E03 'Stranger from Hell' "A Secret Whisper" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Gosh. I'm stuck again.
How does this work?
I really hate to ask him.
What is it? Are you stuck?
Sorry?
Yes, I don't understand this part.
You just need to press control and Z.
Easy, right?
Right.
Feel free to ask him any questions.
Don't stress over it by yourself.
How cute.
He's such a loser.
He's exactly the same as that pervert I live next door to.
Excuse me.
- Are you feeling okay? - Reporter Jo left, right?
Yes, he did. You came late on purpose, right?
- Have some tteokbokki. - What's the occasion?
You're having this after drinking yesterday? Are you all right?
- Come on. What did Reporter Jo say? - He looked for you.
What do you think? He was a total nuisance.
- Good work. - This looks good.
Let's eat.
This sundae looks so good.
(78 Bunseon-Gil, Ijwaro, Hwagunri, Gyeonggi Province, Byun Deuk Jong)
I'm sure he'll nag again.
Sir, I'm sorry, but could you take a look at this?
You just need to apply what I had told you before.
Do you not understand?
Gosh, use your brain, will you?
Don't be so thoughtless.
An elementary school kid would do much better.
Why do these numbers look like this?
Did you not set a formula?
Gosh, you don't know the basics.
When the prices change,
you'll have to change them all manually.
You just need Vlookup function for this.
You could easily search for this online.
Just shut it.
What is it? Can you not hear me?
Sorry?
Focus, will you?
The problem isn't that you don't know how to do it.
You lack the motivation to learn.
All right. Let's call it a day.
- All right. - Okay.
- Are you going home? - Sorry?
If I were you, I would stay behind and learn a bit more.
Let's be frank here. You should earn your keep.
See you tomorrow.
- Bye. - Bye.
Good work today.
(Ji Eun...)
(Ji Eun, I need to work overtime.)
(We should meet during the weekends. I'm sorry.)
(That's a bummer. Call me when you get off.)
(Okay)
(78 Bunseon-Gil, Ijwaro, Hwagunri, Gyeonggi Province, Byun Deuk Jong)
Hello.
I'm Constable Soh Jung Hwa...
from Eunhye-dong's Eunhye Patrol Division.
I'd like to ask...
about your nephew, Byun Deuk Jong.
Could you answer some questions?
Those kids were strange ever since they were born.
Strange?
The others said...
I must've been too drunk and misunderstood everything.
I'm pretty sure...
that...
they started the fire to kill me.
But they were just kids.
Do you think I'm lying? Do you think I'm drunk?
- I'm sorry, sir. - Do you?
No one else but me knows about this.
Sir, do you have any photos...
or belongings of theirs?
Here.
(Police)
Let's see.
What is this?
- Move aside. - Okay.
After I had sent them...
to the orphanage,
they sent me this after a long while.
Could I take a closer look at this...
and bring them back later?
Suit yourself. You can throw them away.
I don't want to see them anyway.
Thank you.
(1998, Spring Orphanage)
We will now begin the burning ceremony of frogs.
Guys, what are you doing there?
Oh, my. You rascals.
You caught so many.
We'll be able to have frog legs tonight.
- You should join us. - Should I?
Let me see.
They're huge.
What are you watching?
Hey, come here and eat.
It'd be too late to ask her to meet, right?
Are you still working when you've worked overtime?
Yes, we have a meeting tomorrow.
You're a workaholic.
Don't pick a fight with me.
(Jong Woo)
- The number you have called... - She must be busy.
cannot be reached.
I wonder if the kitten is back.
It must be hungry.
Hello.
- Heave-ho. - Be careful.
Heave-ho.
- Heave-ho. Oh, no. - Be careful.
Wrap it up well, okay?
I'm so excited.
Be quiet. You'll wake up everyone.
Don't fool around.
Don't you worry.
Carry the front.
No, you carry the front.
I said, carry the front.
No, you carry the front.
Carry the front. You're younger.
- Should I? - Go on.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Heave-ho. Hold on.
- Heave-ho, heave-ho. - Heave-ho, heave-ho.
It's the twins.
- Heave-ho, heave-ho. - Heave-ho, heave-ho.
- What are they doing at this hour? - Heave-ho.
- Heave-ho, heave-ho. - Heave-ho, heave-ho.
What's in that sack?
- Heave-ho, heave-ho. - Heave-ho, heave-ho.
I want to be at the front.
Heave-ho.
Hi.
Kitty.
You're so pretty. Come here.
What are you doing?
I went to the police station because of you.
You idiot! You shouldn't have gotten caught then.
I only killed one.
I'm upset.
Die. Die.
You scumbag.
Let's move it.
Die! Hey!
Die!
What are you watching?
What?
It's the twins.
I saw them on my way home.
Guys.
You scumbag.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
The lady asked us...
to throw away the garbage.
In exchange for living here for free,
we help her out with house chores.
I thought you were getting rid of a body or something.
Right?
What?
Well...
I...
Why are you throwing the garbage here?
The lady asked us to throw it away where there were no cameras.
By the way, what's that black spot?
It looks like blood.
This is...
food waste.
The dirty water leaked.
Do you not separate regular waste from food waste?
That's not right.
Right?
Well... I...
- I'll tell the landlady that... - Let's open it.
Why don't we just open it?
Why don't we open the bag and see if there's nothing sketchy inside?
Unit 303 is right.
Open it.
Open the bag already.
I'll report to the police otherwise.
You can open it yourself if you're so curious.
Hey,
you can't discard a dead cat here.
It died after eating too much rat poison.
Are you okay?
My legs are shaking.
Wait for me.
Goodnight.
That scared you, didn't it?
No, I'm fine.
How is he so calm?
My dad is a veterinarian.
I'm used to seeing animal corpses.
What?
Can he read my mind or something?
I guess your date with your girlfriend got cancelled?
Yes.
Then would you like to grab a beer with me?
It gets lonely when you're alone in your room after work.
Don't you feel that way?
Hold on.
Try this. It's delicious.
Okay.
The landlady made this. Try it.
Okay.
I don't know if it's because I just saw a dead cat,
but it tastes weird.
I guess it's not your cup of tea.
Well... It's not.
I guess you're not into this part.
- What? - I have other parts. You want some?
It's late. Why don't we just drink and go in?
That's weird. It's some good meat.
Why are you so startled?
You think this is human meat or something?
(Stranger from Hell)
People here are weird.
I don't know who it is,
but I think someone has been breaking into my room.
You know that this person is missing, right?
Of course, I was the one who reported him missing.
Look at the back.
We're going to check the back of your car.
How's the man in Unit 303?
Smile. I said smile.
- Hello. - He's scary.
Was there anybody else that was reported missing?
Why? Are you suspecting anyone?
