Do you want me to kill you now?

All right, how should I kill you?

Honey.

Tell me.

Where are you going?

Come here. Come over here. Hey.

Come here. I said, come here.

What did you touch in my room?

Why did you sneak into my room? Tell me, you punk.

- Give me the gun. - I was...

- Give me the gun. - It wasn't me.

Give it to me. Stand straight.

What did you take from my room?

Why did you sneak into my room?

I didn't. It really wasn't me.

What did you take, you punk?

What did you take?

I'm telling you. It wasn't me!

I know it was you.

What will you do if it wasn't me?

You want to bet your wrist?

Is something fun going on here?

Are you punks making a fool out of me?

What? They're twins?

You should give me your wrist, right?

How about this? I'll break your leg.

Get out of the way.

- Calm down. - Get out of the way!

What is happening?

Why don't you calm down?

Who are you to meddle in?

We're all neighbors, aren't we?

He keeps sneaking into my room!

Did you actually see him go in?

Did you really go into his room?

Are you all teasing me?

Why would I go in there...

when I have my own room?

You punk!

Why don't you calm down? We have a newcomer.

Apologize.

They misunderstand you since you're always giggling.

You shouldn't inconvenience others.

Okay. I'm sorry, sir.

You'll accept his apology, right?

I know that you're all in this together.

What do you mean?

Go back inside.

You shouldn't act this way...

just because you've lived here for a long time.

We're not usually like this. You must've been startled.

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes. Anyway...

I should sleep since I need to go to work tomorrow.

- I see, you work at a company. - I do.

You looked young, so I thought you were a student.

Goodbye.

Darn it.

Should I follow him?

(Episode 2: Human Nature)

Young man! Why are you startled?

A young man like you shouldn't be so faint-hearted.

- Do you not have energy? - Do you need to say anything?

I heard they caused a ruckus yesterday night.

I'm sorry about that.

Usually, our studio is dead silent.

Many people living under the same roof...

could cause such a scene. I'm fine. I should go.

Thank you for thinking that way.

A moment ago,

the thug told me that he's moving out.

So don't worry.

I see.

He was one frightening man.

When I was sitting in my office,

he'd watch me with a strange gaze.

- It was frightening. - I'm sorry,

but I need to go to work.

Okay, go on.

Young man.

Only good-hearted people are left in this studio now, don't you think?

Yes, that one.

You must be going to work.

- Well... - Are you going to work?

Yes.

Where do you work?

I work in Daehangno.

That's far away.

Yes.

By the way, are you not hot?

What's his deal? His smile is unsettling.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

(Cat Serial Killings)

(2nd cat's body, 6th cat's body, 13th cat's body)

"Cat Serial Killings in Eunhye-dong"?

Yes.

If you obsess over such trivial matters,

you won't be able to handle bigger cases.

You see, I'm always full of worries.

- I don't think we should... - What is she saying?

take this lightly.

Then take it heavily and ignore it.

In a month, 13 cats were killed in gruesome ways.

Where are you going?

To the scene.

Scene, my foot.

You're going to the places where the cats were found, right?

Yes.

I knew it.

Mr. Jo.

You know that Jung Hwa is the busiest police officer...

among us, right?

But it's all useless.

- Do you want me to tag along? - Forget it.

Why would you go out in this scorching heat?

Forget it and bring some hot water for some cup noodles.

Sir, you can do it yourself. That's called power-tripping.

- He's done it before too. - Bye.

What? I did?

If you didn't, forget it.

(Police)

(203-3 Yeonji-dong, Hyehwa-gu, Seoul)

Is it here?

This is it.

- Hello. - What is it?

I came as an intern.

- Intern? - Yes.

Nobody told me.

Really?

Mr. Shin Jae Ho?

Well... There's a parcel.

You can give it to me.

Why did he have to act so coldly?

Excuse me. Who are you?

- Good morning, Jae Ho. - You're here.

- Hello. - We have a rookie.

He looks so young.

Hey, you should address me as Mr. Shin.

Everyone, say hello.

This is the junior I told you about.

- His name is Yun Jong Woo. - Did he go to the same college?

Hello, I'm Yun Jong Woo and this is my first day at work.

Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - I'm Ko Sang Man.

I'm Son Yu Jung, the designer.

Mr. Park Byung Min,

- did you say hi? - Yes, I did earlier.

Take good care of him, Byung Min.

He's a smart kid,

so he'll be useful if you teach him well.

You can sit beside Mr. Park.

Let's have a meeting in 10 minutes.

- Okay. - Yes, sir.

Jong Woo.

The charger isn't working again.

Jae Ho,

I think that person is weird.

Who? Big head?

- Big head? - His head is huge.

- You're right. - He gets his job done.

He'll be nice if you just kiss up to him,

so try to be nice.

You have the little brother look.

- Fine. - Hey,

the real grown-up life begins not in college nor in the army.

It begins right here, at work.

Even if you don't like how things are here,

- you just have to stick through. - Fine.

You know how difficult it is to earn money.

I understand.

Right, I should call you "Mr. Shin".

Just call me by my name when it's just the two of us.

- Okay. - Good. I'll go to the bathroom.

- What's that? - What?

It looks like someone spat.

It's that guy, darn.

Who are you talking about?

It's the guy that I ran into at the studio.

What is this?

There are some really strange people out there.

You know the people that went to the emergency room last night?

Apparently, they were strangers,

but they began fighting for no reasons.

Isn't that ridiculous?

He could've died on the spot were it not for you.

The guy who spat on you.

He has anger management issues. Just ignore such people.

You have to be careful too. You can't manage your anger at times.

Don't frown at me.

What are you looking at?

What a creep.

What's happening?

Where's my knife?

Let go of me!

It's your turn now.

Darn it.

(Eden Studio, 4th Floor, Women's Floor)

Goodness.

(Police)

Hello?

Are you the owner of the car with the plate number 9688?

Yes.

I'm Soh Jung Hwa from the police.

May I check the dash cam in your car?

It's the guy from Yusang Technical High School.

Sorry?

It's the stationary store by the intersection, don't you know?

The intersection?

Well...

- You see that intersection there? - Yes.

- See the hair salon? - Yes.

Turn right from there.

Turn right.

Go straight from there.

There are lots of teenage boys during that time.

I see.

- Do you mind if I speed it up? - No problem.

Hold on.

Does that man come here often?

That man?

He lives in the neighborhood that will be redeveloped.

Redeveloped?

Barely anyone lives there.

What was the name of the studio?

Mideum? Eden?

It's something like that.

I didn't know such a place existed around here.

It's a creepy place, so many people don't know about it.

It's up the hill.

"Eden Studio"?

(Eden Studio)

(Police)

Hello.

What brings a police officer here?

Hello.

- You must be hot, you're sweating. - I'm fine.

- You can use this. - I'm really fine.

- You're the owner, right? - Yes, that's me.

I just have a question.

This man,

he lives here, right?

He lives in Unit 306.

He's a resident here?

Yes, he lives here.

Why?

I just had a couple of questions for him.

What?

I told him not to, but I guess he did it again.

He's a good man, but he's mentally retarded.

Unit 306, come here.

A police officer is here.

I told you...

that you'll be in trouble if you abuse animals.

I didn't do anything.

I just got it while I was getting mine. It was cheap.

It was a buy one get one free deal.

Take it, I have one anyway.

They're pretty.

I think these would look better on Jong Woo.

Mr. Park, Jong Woo can wear these, right?

Jong Woo, you didn't bring your slippers, did you?

- No, I didn't. - Wear these.

Try them on, it's fine.

- Right now? - Yes, it's fine.

You're rocking them. Absolutely adorable.

Yu Jung,

he's taken. Don't even try.

I didn't do anything.

Jong Woo must be happy because he's already popular here.

I'm unpopular, so I'm heading out to a meeting now.

- See you. - See you.

Sir.

If you keep killing cats,

according to the animal protection law, you will face...

two years in prison or pay a fine of 20,000 dollars.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Please. Don't kid around now.

Bang.

Hey, you shouldn't be playing with a toy gun at a police station.

Sir, don't kid around now.

You killed 13 cats. 13 cats.

You have brutally butchered 13 cats.

Don't you feel pity for them? No?

It's not 13 cats.

Pardon?

Ms. Soh.

I only killed one.

Don't do anything. Stay here.

Mr. Park told me.

There's no proof that he killed all of them.

Sir, come here.

- Look at this. - This way.

Given the report of the previous incidents,

most of the cats were burnt...

or scorched.

Isn't this incident different?

Exactly. That's why we ought to investigate this.

Hey, how can we do that?

Look at that guy. Do you think you can actually talk to him?

- Have one. - Just give him a warning for now.

- And send him home. - Sir.

Is this the only case you'll work on?

Sir, don't shoot. Give it to me.

- Hey! - The gun.

If you do that again, you'll...

end up in prison.

Got that?

I'm sorry,

sir.

Don't do that again, okay?

Besides,

you shouldn't be shooting at people. Understood?

- Okay. - Send him home.

Okay.

You can leave now. Get up.

Okay. Leave now.

Right. Goodbye.

Bye.

Sir, but still. You can't just send him back...

- Hey. - without investigating this...

The cats...

I feel bad for the cats.

By the way, how many complaints did we get for the dead cats?

Actually, we got a lot of complaints, didn't we?

I don't care. I drank last night. I'm so hungover.

Goodness.

- I'm hungry. - Okay. Take them.

Hello, kitty.

Goodness.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Hey. - Yes?

Put this up.

We registered some fingerprints to help us identify missing people.

We'd be able to find him quickly if his prints are registered.

Hey, we only register kids or senile elderlies' in the system.

- Let me see. - Here.

(Missing Persons)

Wait. "Mount Bong in District One of Eunhye-dong?"

Hey.

Isn't this near Eden Studio?

(Eden Studio)

I should just ax your neck.

But the deal between us was your wrist.

Are you scared?

Are you scared? Aren't you scared? Are you scared?

If it weren't for that guy, I would've sliced you right away.

I heard that you got hauled to the police station.

They asked me questions.

I told them I didn't know anything,

so they sent me back home.

It's not like they knew anything.

I told you to be careful, not to raise any red flags.

No one noticed.

Not the police. Don't let that guy catch you, you fool.

Okay.

I got it.

It's been over an hour, but they didn't give me any work.

Sir, what should I do?

Sir?

Hello, this is Son Yu Jung.

Did you have lunch? The last time we spoke...

Sir, is there anything I can do to help?

I don't need any help.

No?

If you're that bored, go make me coffee.

Coffee? Yes.

That's what you want, right? Yes.

What about the date?

I'll check it and call you again.

Okay.

Sir, here's your coffee.

You didn't spit in it, right?

What? I didn't.

Here.

This is for the next month's show. Write up a press release for it.

As for the template, you can... What is that called?

There are many references. Look into those online.

Okay.

Mr. Shin said that you were smart. I'll check how good you are.

Okay.

(Women's slippers)

"Women's slippers".

Gosh. He likes her?

- Jong Woo. - Yes?

I'm going to forward the office number to yours now.

- People call after work hours too. - I see. Okay.

- I see. - Don't be flustered.

- Answer them and take care of them. - Okay.

If you have any questions, ask Mr. Park.

- Okay. - Jong Woo.

- Yes? - Will you keep that up?

Pardon?

You don't have to get up...

from your seat like an elementary school kid.

- Okay. - Sit down.

We have an elementary school kid in the office now.

All right. Look over here.

Hold the toothbrush like this.

From bottom to top. And from top to bottom.

And brush from the inside to the outside.

You can brush from your gums just like this. Did you get it?

Okay.

If you don't brush your teeth, it will hurt again.

So you must keep the promise you made to me.

Okay.

Just make sure he brushes his teeth. Don't worry.

Thank you so much.

When he goes to other dentists, he cries and throws a fit.

But when he comes to you, he behaves so well.

My son likes you so much. He said you were cool.

(Yu Spring Dentist)

I see.

Okay.

I want to see him.

I'll come straight back after work.

Hey, let's go home after we finish up today...

or not.

We should grab dinner. It's Jong Woo's first day.

I have a family event today...

or not.

- I'm in. - Gosh.

I have some work to do today.

Jong Woo.

If you're a new recruit, just say yes and follow us.

- That's right. - Yes.

He said yes right away.

He's cute.

Yu Jung,

I told you he was taken. Don't hit on him.

Why not? No one knows what might happen. Aren't I right?

Exactly.

She sure feels confident about herself. Let's get going.

Lucky you. You're so popular.

It's not like that.

He's blushing. How cute.

He's such a show-off.

Ji Eun.

Send me the cue sheet for tomorrow's variety show...

before clocking out.

- Thanks. - Ma'am.

Yes?

Bo Mi is in charge of that program.

Of course, I knew that.

Bo Mi took a sick leave today. Please send it to me.

But still...

We're all assigned different tasks for a reason.

Ji Eun.

Don't you know that I asked you to do this...

because you seemed the most reliable?

But at times, when I look at you... How do I put it?

You seem like a stranger.

I'm sorry.

Also, don't frown about things like that.

We don't need to be upset over that.

Don't frown. Smile, okay?

We're all struggling together, right?

Send it to my email. Bye.

(Jong Woo: I'm sorry, but I don't think I can make it.)

(We're having a company dinner.)

(Is there something...)

(I'll call you after it's over.)

(A comfortable dinner place for families)

(Local Gamjatang)

Who knew I'd be working here?

Jong Woo, I heard you used to write.

He's very good at it.

The other students called him a genius.

- Really? - Yes.

All the professors said that he'd lead...

Korean literature.

How could a single writer...

- lead Korean literature? - Why would you deny it?

- It's this world's fault... - Come on.

for not recognizing a genius like you.

Remember that contest you applied for?

- Why would you bring that up? - Weren't you disqualified?

- Come on, stop it. - Were they the same one?

- Anyway! - I can't believe it.

Such a genius is a mere intern.

How sad is this?

He had to suffer so much to write.

For three years, he slept in the club room.

Didn't you take a semester off because you were poor?

Anyway, he pretty much lived...

in the club room for three consecutive years.

He endured so much.

But look at where he is now. It pains my heart.

Jong Woo, stop writing.

Money is the best. Give up!

The art industry is rotting.

Art is ridiculous.

The only thing it does is leech off of those around you.

I've drunk with many artists.

Who are you to tell me to give up?

Just give up, already.

The art industry is rotting.

Don't involve yourself with those scumbags.

- Hey, writing such things... - What?

won't change the world.

Let's go to another bar.

Sir, let's go home. We need to work again tomorrow.

- Let's end it here. - Don't show up for work tomorrow.

- Gosh. - Come on.

You're usually good with alcohol, so why are you so drunk?

I'm not drunk.

- We'll be going home first. - He must be happy to have you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Shall we have another drink?

Sure.

I should head back home. I couldn't get much sleep.

- Really? - Yes.

How disappointing.

Then I should go home too.

- Jong Woo, where do you live? - There's a night market over there.

I live in Eunhyun-gu.

That's so far away.

It would've been nice to have company in the cab.

- Bye. See you tomorrow. - Goodbye.

Sir, I should go home.

Hey, intern.

Yes?

Let me give you advice.

Don't act all gallantly just because you're close to the CEO.

- What do you mean? - Know your place, you scumbag!

Stay calm, stay calm.

Darn it.

(Detective Cha)

- Hello? - Sir, it's me, Ahn Hee Joong.

Hey, where are you?

Some lunatics...

- are trying to kill me. - Hey!

Darn it!

I told you to keep an eye on him.

I'm sorry.

I was hungry.

Why are you fighting?

Have you eaten?

I told the newcomer...

that only the goodhearted were left.

What is this?

- Sorry... - Just move out!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

All that these boys do is fight.

Repent!

I'm sorry too.

I'm Soh Jung Hwa. I booked for 9pm.

Thank you.

- Officer Soh. - Hello.

Your appointment isn't scheduled for today.

Something came up, so I had to change the date.

The dentist on duty for tonight does things less painfully than I do.

- Good luck with your treatment. - Thank you.

Do you have a date?

Well...

I'm meeting someone important today.

I don't know who she is, but good for her.

I'll see you around then.

- Goodnight. - Bye.

(Yu Spring Dentist)

(One Way)

It's been only one day, but I don't want to go back in.

Hey, you must be getting back from work.

Yes.

Did you eat dinner? If you didn't, I can cook you eggs.

I had dinner with my colleagues, so I'm okay.

I just boiled eggs. Do you want one?

It's really good with a pinch of salt.

I have indigestion.

You do?

- Yes. - Gosh. Let me help you with that.

- I'm really good with needles. - I don't need that.

I'm just going to rest up.

Tell me whenever. I can stab it with the needle for you.

Poor him.

Why does she keep offering me to eat eggs?

Goodness.

This place is so tiny.

Gosh, I have nothing to do.

Darn it.

(Thank you.)

Let's see. This must belong to the previous tenant.

(I'm lonely. I'm tired.)

(I'm going crazy. I want to die. I must kill. I'm scared.)

(Die.)

(Die.)

Could it be possible...

I get that this area will be redeveloped,

but how can it be this cheap?

To be honest,

a man who used to live in this room killed himself.

I should forget about it.

I should have a can of beer before going to sleep.

(Did you get off work, Ji Eun?)

Hello?

Isn't this JH Content?

Pardon?

Yes, yes. That's right.

Yu Jung usually picks up the phone.

You must be new.

Yes. My name is Yun Jong Woo. I'm an intern.

I see. Im Jong Oh?

No, it's Yun Jong...

Im Jong Oh. I got it.

Can you send me the information of the show via text message?

Wait. It's...

- Now? - Send it to me quickly. Bye.

What the...

(Eden Studio)

What is this place?

Gosh.

- Who are you? - You startled me.

I'm from the police.

- The police? - Do you...

know this man?

I was going to wait until tomorrow and make a report then.

- Hold on. - About this man?

No, listen.

- That man. - Yes.

He didn't pay any of the rent.

- His rent? - Yes, he was behind his rent.

- He ran away today. - He lives here?

Yes. He lives in Unit 310.

- Unit 310? Let me take a look. - Okay.

Gosh, I trusted him, but he conned me. Come here.

I can't count how many times I've been conned.

Hey, why is this hallway so dark?

Gosh, the economy is terrible. What good will lights do?

Come here.

- It's a waste. - Is this the room?

- Gosh, he drank a lot... - Goodness.

- and broke things. - Okay.

He threatened the tenant next door that he would kill him or something.

I should have kicked him out a long time ago,

but I'm a softie.

He disappeared today?

Last night, he got drunk and beat up the guy next door.

- He beat up people? - Yes. I got mad,

so I told him to leave.

He must've thought that was his window and left.

Whom did he beat up?

The guy... He's... Goodness.

Hey, Unit 306. Come here.

- He's here? - Right here.

He's here to catch the guy in Unit 310. Talk to him.

- Talk to him first. - Hello.

Okay. All of a sudden,

he told me that I was loud and slapped me on my cheek.

He stutters.

I kept telling him to stop, but you know...

as well...

that he has scars and he looks so scary.

He does look scary. Good job.

You got beaten up. Is that funny to you?

Is that supposed to be funny? Didn't he get beaten up?

He's just mentally unstable.

Okay, I got it.

If he comes back, call me at this number.

We'll try to look for him too.

He beat up people and ran away after not paying the rent.

You have to catch the guy.

You should make a report with the local police station.

I have to call the police separately?

Goodness.

But how do you know this man, Detective?

It looks like he bolted after causing trouble.

Hey. Hold on.

Do you live in that studio?

Yes.

I'm from the police.

- Okay. - By any chance,

do you recognize this man?

- This guy... - Do you know him?

Well, I didn't know him that well.

I've only talked to him a few times. I just moved in here.

I see.

Did you see anything unusual about this guy?

- Unusual? - Yes.

Like he seemed different than before...

or his behaviors were odd or something.

Did anything happen to this guy?

Pardon?

Why are you suddenly asking me that?

I mean, you're from the police asking about him.

- It's not that. - Okay.

He's a wanted man, but he suddenly called us to save him.

- What? - Someone was trying to kill him.

- That's... - What? Did you remember something?

No, no.

- What is it? - He didn't get along with people...

from this studio.

- People living here? - Yes.

What else?

- This is just my opinion. - Okay.

He scared the people here more than he had to.

I see. I got it.

But if you remember anything else, call me at this number.

- Okay. - Call me at that number.

- Okay. - Sorry about that. Goodnight.

Okay.

Young man.

I forgot to tell you. Take your parcel.

What?

- Ms. Eom. - What?

What's wrong?

This. Look. Did you open it?

No, not me. That wasn't me.

The guy in Unit 313 thought it was his...

and opened it.

Things like that happen when you live with others.

Don't frown.

Where did I put...

The guy who spat on you.

He has anger management issues. Just ignore such people.

Yes. Let's just let it go.

If they fixed the laptop, couldn't they have...

turned it off afterwards?

Wait.

Did that pervert...

(Detective Cha Sung Ryeol)

I'm moving out next week.

I'll go back home and run a fishing place.

That's right. He said he'd go back home.

Where did you go?

Do you want to have fun too?

Do you want to die?

Is he gone already?

I have a lot more to do because of you.

I'll be busy.

Whatever. I'm sure it'll be fine.

(Ji Eun)

I'll come straight back after work.

(Volunteers)

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.

No, no, it's not that.

Anyway, I think the people here aren't normal.

Perhaps...

you're just overreacting.

- What? - You must be tired.

Don't mind them too much and go to bed.

Ji Eun, if you just hear stories about them,

you'd think I'm worried about nothing.

- If you were to see... - Jong Woo.

I worked from dawn until now and I'm so tired.

Let's talk tomorrow.

- Do you mind? - No, that's fine.

Sleep well.

Okay. You too.

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?

I had a thought when I saw you.

That you...

could be the same type of person as me.

What?

(Stranger from Hell)

There are such people around us.

They look normal on the outside but want to kill on the inside.

No one can open my door without a key, right?

It never opens otherwise.

I want to work on the new guy.

I bet he's very soft.

He said he was scared.

He said some strange people were going to kill him.

The thug suddenly disappeared too.

Isn't that odd?
