Honey,
how would you like to be killed?
Open your eyes.
Wake up.
Who are you?
Who's there?
Run away.
Run away, I'm telling you.
(Episode 7. The Horror of the Basement)
Eat slowly.
Dad, your cooking is always the best.
It's honestly the best food ever.
- What? - The best food ever.
I mean, it's delicious.
Eat some more if you like it that much.
I cooked a lot anyway.
I'll finish this bowl of rice first.
Are your teeth hurting again? Have you visited the dentist yet?
No.
I was supposed to get some care after the endodontic treatment,
but I just didn't have the time, and now it hurts again.
You're clearly not in enough pain yet.
- Make sure you visit the dentist. - Will do later.
You dummy, you think the dentist will be open on a Sunday?
There are some that open on Sundays.
- Really? - Yes.
It's great that you're working hard but take care of yourself first.
Fine.
Dad,
the rookie looked into it...
and the lady is really weird.
She had two husbands, and both passed away in an accident,
so did her parents.
So she got all the insurance money.
And she operated an orphanage...
which burned down and, she got more insurance money out of that.
Really? Then she must've been suspected for all the deaths.
And if the orphanage was on fire, it would've been on the news.
Right?
You're right.
Dad, thanks so much.
Only cows lie down right after eating.
Spring Orphanage on fire.
(Spring Orphanage on fire)
(Spring Orphanage is on fire, and the suspect is the owner?)
Hello.
(Yu Spring Dentist)
(Spring Orphanage is on fire, and the suspect is the owner?)
I read in a book...
that murders begin...
by killing animals first.
It may not just be a joke.
Do you think so as well?
Why? Are you suspecting anyone?
These nightmares are driving me crazy.
I have to get out of here.
Hello, can you hold on for a second?
Thank you for this last night.
I could charge my phone thanks to you.
That's mine, sorry.
This is yours.
The one I just handed to you is mine that's broken.
You have to talk quieter here.
Sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
The people here are just weird.
Just don't make loud sounds.
Have you been living here for a long time?
No, I'm quite new here as well.
I see.
How is it living here?
The place I lived before wasn't that great.
Why don't we go out and talk?
Sure.
- You were going out, right? - Yes.
Let's go.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm thinking of taking a walk. You?
I'm going to a performance.
Are you a singer?
No, not a singer. I'm a rapper.
That's cool.
It's really not that cool. What about you?
I work at a performance promotion company.
Really? Then do you hold music performances as well?
No, it's for theater productions.
We're still both in the performing art industry.
Which way are you heading?
This way.
Where are you going?
I can go either way. Let's go this way then.
It's so hot today. How old are you?
I'm 27.
You look so young for your age. I'm 25 years old.
How did you come to this studio?
I saw it online.
I've never lived in a room without air conditioning though.
Can I call you Brother?
Sure.
You can be comfortable with me.
I'll get comfortable with you, it just takes some time.
I'll help you out.
Okay.
Is there anyone at the studio that's also our age?
There are some men in their 30s,
but they're all insane.
Insane?
They're weird.
If you're not busy tonight...
Hello.
- You must be the new guy. - Yes.
Hello, I'm Kang Seok Yun. I just moved in yesterday.
Do you live here?
I live here.
You're very cheerful.
I'd like to think that I am.
You two must've been talking about something fun.
We were just saying hi.
Are you going somewhere?
Just on a walk.
Just on a walk?
That's a great idea.
It's not that hot today.
Aren't you hot?
What?
You're wearing long sleeves in summer.
Are you scared that you'll get darker?
No.
I have a scar on my arm.
A scar?
Yes.
Let's grab a beer with everyone at the studio when you have time.
Do you do that here?
Of course. There's not a lot of us...
and we're all around the same age. It'll be good living here.
Sure, that sounds great.
Bye now.
See you later.
He's so handsome.
By the looks of the two of you, everyone here must be handsome.
How lucky.
Brother.
Brother?
Yes?
If you aren't busy tonight,
would you like to come and watch me perform?
- Perform? - Yes.
Sure, I'd rather go than to stay here all day.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Don't laugh at me because I'm bad.
I won't.
Where are you performing?
- Why aren't you picking up? - This is it.
Why was your phone off?
I wrote the song late last night. Please excuse my mistakes.
No worries.
This is my first time ever seeing...
a rapper perform on the streets.
I'm getting nervous.
I'm really bad, so just don't get your hopes up.
- Okay. - Yes.
I'm so nervous. You can sit there.
Stop it!
Give it to me. Hand it over!
Mother, Father, money.
Mother, Father, money. When I was 5,
I ran away with Mom's money
When I was 6, I ran away with Dad's money
Snacks, stealing, swindling,
I'll run away with money like a swindler
Grandma always told me,
You lose if you stammer
Grandma used to work early mornings for money
Don't you ever forget what the most important thing is
Skinny brats would tease me, as I sing for my grandma,
Promising that I'll never let her go
But I couldn't keep the promise,
And ran away with 10 dollar bills rolled up in her pillow
who couldn't wake up to the alarm early morning
Mother, Father, money
I'm out
Thank you.
Great.
I'm hungry.
Let's walk slower, my feet hurt.
What's that?
- What? - It's all over your leg.
What's this?
We didn't even sit anywhere.
No.
What is this?
I think you should take it off.
What psycho did this?
- Are you all right? - Yes.
(Yu Spring Dentist)
- Hello. - Hello. What's your name?
I'm Soh Jung Hwa. My appointment is scheduled at 2pm.
Yes, Doctor is almost done with the other patient. Please wait.
Okay.
(Eunhye-dong Administrative Support Center)
(Volunteer)
It's a photo of me giving medical support to the seniors here.
I see.
I go once a month. Would you like to join?
What?
Doctor,
do you know Spring Orphanage by any chance?
It has the same name as our office.
Yes.
I know it well.
I'm from there.
Sorry?
That's why I named my office after the orphanage.
I wanted to help people like the orphanage did.
Then do you know...
this person right here?
- Ms. Eom Bok Soon? - Yes.
She was the owner of our orphanage.
I know it's a cliche way of describing her,
but she's like my mother to me.
She now operates a studio.
The one on the hill, right?
Right.
You must know it well since it's your district.
- Yes. - That's the studio.
I live there now as well.
Why do you live there?
Well,
I was supposed to move in elsewhere,
but my move-in date got delayed.
I'm talking too much.
I missed living with Ms. Eom.
I see.
You're very curious about me.
There's just a lot of coincidence.
Never mind.
- Shall we head in? - Shall we?
Sure.
What would you like?
Isn't this an expensive place?
It's fine, I'm a regular here, and it's quite cheap.
- Would you like some tteokbokki? - Sure, whatever is good.
Okay. 1 tteokbokki and 1 ramyeon, please.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Should we grab a beer?
Let's have soju instead.
Let's have both then.
- No, just soju. - Soju?
Fine, soju it is.
Soju.
Thank you.
Did something happen last night?
Your facial expression last night scared me.
You looked glum.
And?
Well,
your eyes...
seemed as if you wanted to kill someone.
Moving into this studio,
I had the roughest first week.
Did something happen?
Hearing you rap,
I realized that we're quite similar.
- You're not from Seoul, right? - No.
- Raised by a single mother? - Yes.
- Me too. - Really?
You...
You didn't seem like the type at all.
I thought you had a smooth life.
That being said,
- we need to get out of here. - What?
(Eden Studio)
The sauce is good.
Let's go catch some fish by the ocean
Repent, repent.
Let's go catch some fish by the mountains
Let's bottle them all up
And let's take it all home
Let's catch some fish
Come here, let's eat.
I brought locally grown beef for you.
Aren't you hungry? Let's eat.
The thug guy came in, saying,
"You don't think I know that you're all on one side?"
The way they were looking at him made it seem like it was true.
I think they're really in this together.
Do you think they may be organ traffickers?
I thought of that too, which is why I don't feel good,
but do you really think that'd happen at a studio?
No, let's not go that far.
I'll speak informally to you now.
- Go ahead. - At least you're here,
now the studio will feel a little less weird.
Who lived here before?
The thug lived in your room.
He kept yelling about how someone keeps breaking into his room,
then moved out right away.
Another man moved out the day after.
I love watching criminal movies,
Yes?
and I think there's definitely something fishy going on here.
I think we can look into this further and find something.
What do you mean look into this?
Everyone is insane. Don't anger them.
The fourth floor bothers me the most.
You said someone keeps entering the fourth floor,
but nobody lives there.
Who could it be and why would they keep going there?
There's...
probably a cliche story behind it.
There's something hidden there...
- or something. - That's right.
- Something illegal. - Something illegal.
Right.
Ms. Eom said that nobody lives there.
But I keep hearing weird sounds coming out of there.
It's weird.
Something is definitely fishy.
I'm going to go in and see for myself sometime.
- Hey. - What?
Don't do it.
Fine, I won't.
Don't ever enter the fourth floor.
All right.
So,
how long do you plan on staying here for?
I have to stay here until I work some part-time jobs...
and earn enough money.
I think I'm going to be here for at least six months.
What a pathetic life you live.
It's okay,
it's normal for youngsters like us to live pathetic lives.
While we're on the topic...
Yes?
When I'm not home,
and if someone tries to go into my room,
can you take a photo of that?
But your door is locked.
Who can go in?
Ms. Eom said that it wouldn't ever unlock, but nobody knows.
Imagine her being one of them.
Then she can open the door for whoever it is.
I just get a strange feeling whenever I enter my room.
Then I'll take photos of everything...
that seems fishy.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Seok Yun,
you and I both have to...
first find a way to get out of this studio.
That's the only way to live.
We can only do that if we have money.
We're so broke.
I'll earn lots of money, buy you beer...
and everything else nice. Don't worry too much.
You'll succeed one day for sure. I'll get going now.
What'll you do?
I should go. I have to...
see my girlfriend.
- You have a girlfriend? - Yes.
I'm jealous.
Where will you go?
I stayed up last night writing some rap verses.
I'm tired, so I'll shower and go to bed.
Make sure your door's locked, okay?
- Don't you worry. - Okay.
I'm glad you heard me out today.
It was nothing.
- See you. - Take care.
- See you later. - Okay.
Have a great night.
She'll still be up.
(Ji Eun, are you asleep?)
Bye. Thanks for the ride.
It was nothing.
I'm sorry to let you go.
Sorry about what?
How about a beer inside?
I can't. I have a roommate.
We can all drink together.
Call me if you want. Can I come in to rest?
- Go on home. - I'm just tired.
- Go home. - I'll call.
Okay.
She's cute.
(Seok Yun, Ji Eun)
(Seok Yun)
He's outside my room again?
(I'm about to go to bed. Is something wrong?)
(Are you...)
(Are you okay?)
(Hey!)
(Are you okay?)
(Ji Eun)
Darn it.
(Ji Eun)
(Available)
What does he think he's doing?
Will you pick up?
- Hey. - Hey, you!
Why didn't you pick up?
Sorry. Man, that was really freaky.
Why? What happened?
I was filming in secret when he turned around.
I just happened to get that photo.
Then... Then did he...
Did he see you? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
He kept asking what I was doing,
so I made an excuse and came to the roof.
He looked really frightening.
Shall I post it online?
You stupid... Did he follow you upstairs?
I told you to leave them alone.
You never know what they'll do.
I'm on my way. I'll see you there.
Okay, hurry back.
Your story and then this is giving me the chills.
Go to your room and keep the door locked.
They could come in and cut you up at any time.
Okay. Get back quick. See you.
Darn this psycho.
He's out of his mind.
The nutjob.
Darn it.
[Outlaw Ver] OCN E07 'Stranger from Hell' "The Horror of the Basement" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Will you be more careful?
You should be the one to watch where you're going.
What?
Mr. 303.
What?
You know this is all because of you, don't you?
Darn it.
I am talking to you.
What is it?
Are you...
belittling me?
Speak clearly so that I can understand.
You're just talking nonsense.
I was just kidding.
You didn't have to be so serious.
The new guy's on the roof as well.
- Hey. - My gosh.
- You startled me. - Sorry.
Did I scare you? That guy with...
the really short hair was here earlier.
Are you not hurt?
- No. - Did anything happen?
No, but I found something interesting in my room.
Can you just lie low and not do anything?
I didn't do anything.
Is this the guy who used to stay in my room?
Yes.
Hang on.
(Identity Card)
He was born in 1984?
No way.
I went to my room and...
this was on the floor by the end of the bed.
A thought came to me right away.
A guy who went home left his wallet?
With that much cash in it?
Don't spend that yet.
Why not?
He might come back for it.
- No. - Keep it safe.
A detective is looking for him too.
A detective? Why would...
Just keep it safe.
Shouldn't I call the police then?
Will you just keep still and out of everyone's business?
Please.
Darn. This really won't work.
I'll move out as soon as I get paid this month.
- You'll leave? - Yes.
I hoped to stay at least until I saved up enough for a deposit.
This place won't do.
If you're to move out, won't the rent...
be expensive?
I want to live a decent life.
How can I live when a guy stands by my door with a knife?
I guess you're right.
Do you want to come too?
I can't do that. It's not like...
I have a full-time job or salary.
I don't have a full-time job. I'm just an intern myself.
I get paid less than a rat's bottom, but I'll just move out.
I'd try to stay here a little longer if it weren't for those jerks.
Mom said strangers are the worst, and this place proved it to me.
- That's true. - But...
how can a whole building be full of just psychos?
It's like they were brought together.
Do you want to know who the worst is?
It's him, the guy we met this morning.
Oh, the guy with long sleeves?
Yes, a black shirt with long sleeves in mid-summer.
He calls us "honey" with this spooky smile.
Isn't that gross?
- Almost melodramatic. - Goodness.
I shouldn't say things like this, but the scum here...
should all just die in an accident because...
- Hey. - They do nothing for society.
- Jong Woo. - What?
What?
See?
Isn't it nice to voice everything you feel?
Hate the people you want to hate.
Curse the people you want to curse.
Kill the people you want to kill.
That's true courage.
You might fall.
Did he hear...
I bet he heard.
Yes. I think so.
- Darn. - Hey.
He looks so calm and classy,
but he freaks me out for some reason.
I told you he's weird. Whatever.
Did you shower?
- Why? - Let's shower together if not.
I'm so scared that I wash my hair with my eyes open these days.
Sure. Let's go.
- Let's shower and sleep. - Okay.
It's cold.
It's so cold. This must be paradise.
How cool.
I don't need anything.
Only I can save myself.
No, that's not it.
I don't need anything.
Only you can save me.
You're my themed stocks. I am your savior.
What?
Hey.
Why did you say "themed stocks"?
"Themed stocks"? I was just trying to make things rhyme.
- Do you even know what that means? - No.
It's so cool.
What? "Themed stocks"?
Why doesn't anyone say "operational stock"?
That's lame.
An operation that tells us when to move in with the girlfriend.
Don't be so scheming and calculating.
- You're hilarious. - Goodnight.
- Go to bed. - Okay. Sleep well.
- Seok Yun. - What?
At least, you know,
now that you're here, this place seems more like a home.
Don't say that. Sleep well.
Thanks.
Themed stock?
Themed stock.
I should've peed then too.
This is so darn inconvenient.
How disgusting.
He's there again with a knife.
I'll take a photo and call the police.
What are you doing there?
Oh. What were you doing?
These eggs? They aren't just for me.
They're nicely cooked. Do you want...
What? Did you see something?
- Ms. Eom. - What?
You ruined it.
- Jong Woo, is something wrong? - Seok Yun.
- What's the matter? - My gosh.
That freak. He had a knife.
He was trying to get into my room with a knife.
- Really? - My gosh, I almost...
I saw him.
I saw it clearly.
I was going to take a photo.
Darn it. Ms. Eom.
Young man.
What are you saying?
Are you saying you didn't catch him because of me?
Ms. Eom.
Why did you have to show up then?
If it hadn't been for you, I'd have the photo.
If only I had, then I'd have the proof this time.
- Really? - Darn it.
I should've have taken the photo.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Are you positive? - Yes.
Can you swear?
Tell me. Can you swear?
Let's go into his room.
He had a knife. Let's see if he has one.
- Hey. - Yes?
You're the witness. Okay?
Okay.
What are you playing at?
Do you know how badly you're scaring the others?
Your rent is behind, and you put up women's photos!
Do you know how much you're inconveniencing these men?
I can't go to sleep because of all this noise.
You're smiling?
When I'm talking to you?
You slapped me too hard.
Do you have a grudge?
Search his room. There's a knife in there.
Search his room.
- Me? - Should I then?
I should. I'm the general manager.
Look at all this rubbish.
Can we clean up every now and then?
This room stinks like an old man.
Handsome guy.
What if it's not here?
What?
Are your ears blocked up?
What if there's no knife?
Why wouldn't there be?
Look. Because of you,
everyone's up instead of being in bed.
Because of me?
What if this is all a misunderstanding?
- A misunderstanding? - How will you make up for it?
Did you see clearly?
I looked everywhere and I don't see...
- anything. - You'd have it by now if he had it.
There's no knife.
Move.
My gosh.
He has a problem believing people.
My gosh. That chair...
Come on.
Jong Woo. Calm down.
- Calm down, will you? - Let go!
Will you calm down, Jong Woo? Come on, relax.
- Young man. - Relax.
Get your mom to buy you some tonic or something.
You see things when you're weak.
Hey.
- Strip. - Are you crazy?
Strip down.
What's wrong with you? Do you take me for a pushover?
Shall I help you?
Jong Woo, don't.
Take off your clothes.
Before I kill you.
Do it.
My gosh.
I can't be mistaken.
(Maum Church)
Is it here?
Jong Woo, you are late.
Maybe Jong Woo had a rough weekend too.
You now completely lost your mind, right?
You have no will to work.
I would actually need to meet a man then.
Then try going to a club?
Club?
Maybe not.
- What? - How was your weekend, Mr. Go?
You want to hit me?
Jong Woo, do you need to be disciplined?
I went bowling for the first time in a while.
It's weird, but my back hurts.
You should take vitamins.
You should exercise regularly.
Darn. Only if I had a girlfriend.
I would ask her to take care of me.
Hey, Jong Woo. Ji Eun must take good care of you, right?
Shut up, you punk, before I kill you.
Why are you so unfocused today?
Maybe you should go to a sauna.
How about you? Does she take good care of you?
- What is wrong with him? - Well, it's like...
taking 10 vitamin pills every day.
Darn. I want to get married.
Let's do well today too, people!
You should go for a massage.
I think I should go for it today.
You are always smiling,
pretending to be naive and nice,
but badmouthing and looking down on others behind their backs.
Did you think I don't know you?
Going forward,
I have no intention of making peace with you.
Don't ever talk to me again.
Let's see...
who quits the company first. Between you and me.
What?
Get to work.
At that moment, I realized something.
The hell wasn't the studio or the company.
It was the people around me.
Did you know?
This company's CEO is hungry.
- Shall we go for sundae soup? - Good.
No! Why sundae soup again?
What do you want, Jong Woo?
I'll skip it today.
Are you? Fine.
What about you, Byung Min?
- Tonkatsu. - Except for Tonkatsu.
- Then anything. - Let's head out first.
- Any other menu? - Hamburger steak?
Anything but hamburger steak.
Then sundae soup?
Sundae soup sounds good.
(Seok Yun)
- What is it? - Jong Woo.
Just now I went to the kitchen to drink water.
That pervert was staring at me.
And you think that's funny?
No, I really think he's a total nutjob.
He is a nutjob. You need to be careful.
Sure. See you.
Good work today, everyone.
- Good job. - Good work today, Yu Jung.
Thank you.
Jong Woo, are you going home?
Is it because you came late today?
Let's leave together.
Let's just leave.
The days we were together
Hello?
- Jong Woo. - Yes.
Are you still at work?
I just got off.
When you get back, shall we go for ramen and soju?
I think I will be home late today.
I am in a very bad mood today.
If they provoke me, I won't be able to stop myself.
I see. Then I will see you tomorrow.
Sure. You be careful too.
Sure.
(Ji Eun)
- What was that? - He's shooting at you!
- Give it to me. - Is it the same thing?
- Darn! - Are you out of your mind?
- Get me back alive! - Hold on.
- Darn it. - Come on.
Gosh.
- Hey, hey. - Are you dead?
- I am dead because of you. - Just get out.
Stop bothering me.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
What is this? What's going on?
- Let's just do it again. - You should check their age.
Why are you shooting me?
I am going to get you.
Let's go this way.
- There's a person in the front. - The troll is here.
- There's a lot of people. - Hey, boys.
- What? - Hey, hey.
- What? - You should come back tomorrow.
- What? - You should leave. It's past 10 pm.
Let us just finish this game.
It's past your usage time. Turn it off now.
- Why did he... - Come back tomorrow, all right?
- Darn. - Darn!
- He said to turn it off. - Gosh.
Let's turn it off.
If he says to turn it off, we should.
Darn it.
Hey.
We are regulars there. Why would you tell on us?
You should have kept your mouth shut and play the game.
Now we don't have places to go because of you.
- You should be held accountable. - You should be.
What am I supposed to do?
- Supposed to do? - Well...
- Maybe you can hang out with us. - That sounds like an idea.
Let's hang out.
It's late. You should head home.
- We don't have a home. - We don't.
Let's go to your place.
That's right! We can go to your place.
Hey!
- You shouldn't do bad things! - Come on.
- Bad things? - Why are you scared?
Don't be scared. Gosh.
- I will feel sorry then. - Why are you scared?
- Act your age. - Maybe because he's small.
- Hey, you old man. - Maybe we can beat him up.
Don't smile like that.
- How should I smile then? - How should I?
- How should we smile? - Smile differently?
- How do we smile differently? - Don't smile like that.
Right. Then let's smile differently.
We will smile differently.
No.
- Darn it. - Gosh.
You are going to kill him.
Please save him.
(Nurture an Advanced Military)
- Sergeant Yun. We have a problem. - What is it?
Sergeant Cho is causing trouble again at the incineration site.
He was so quiet these days. Why is he doing it again?
Can you go and stop him? We are going to get into trouble.
- I need to leave next month but... - I don't want to get involved.
You know he never listens to me.
At least he pretends to listen to you.
I beg you.
Darn it.
Gosh.
If this happened outside, he would have been...
We were in so much trouble because of him.
Where did these crazy people hide outside?
That's enough! Why are you doing this?
Do you want to be locked up in the guardhouse again?
I said stop it! Are you out of your mind?
Jong Woo.
Save me.
You liked him too.
Am I right?
I told you to get out of here as fast as possible.
Don't become crazy like me.
What are you looking at, you punk?
You want to die?
Enough! Enough!
That's enough!
- That's enough, you punk! - Calm down!
Jong Woo.
Save me.
I am sorry.
If I knew this was going to happen, I would have beat him up instead.
Honestly,
I don't regret it.
- What? - I actually feel relieved.
Maybe I should have killed him.
After I am discharged,
I was going to go look for him.
I understand how you feel.
That nutjob deserves the same.
- They'll never get straight. - If we do nothing, those nutjobs...
think that we are afraid of them.
They will come to their senses only after they are beaten up.
You did the right thing.
We will plead as much as we can.
Everyone knows what he's like on this base.
I need to go to the medical office.
Thank you, sir.
I should have killed him.
Are you okay?
You are bleeding.
Don't say anything. You are badly hurt.
Don't worry.
I'll be next to you.
(Stranger from Hell)
Who are you?
Who do you think I really am?
A dentist at the studio?
Or a serial killer?
Contact me immediately if anything happens.
Just leave me alone.
Have I ever told you?
If I have a target, I never let it go.
Are you okay?
If you want to kill him, then do so.
That's who you really are.
Why did you meet Ji Eun?
You need to move out.
