- Hello. - Hello.

I'm late. So can you step on it?

Okay.

Here we go.

- My baby. - Daddy!

Gosh. Did you have a good day?

(Reserved)

(Customer Done with Work, 7:30pm)

(Customer Done with Work, 7:30pm)

It's time to pick up my next customer.

- Did you get a lot of work done? - Gosh. Stop it.

- I'll get going now. - Bye.

- Hello, sir. - Hey.

Let's go.

(Delivery Man)

(Episode 1)

How have you been doing these days?

How's the job?

How much longer will you pretend to be a son of a wealthy family?

You got kicked out of your house and are driving a taxi for a living.

That's because my family is in the transportation business.

They told me to make my way up from the bottom. What could I do?

But could you drive a bit faster?

My luxury speaker from Italy is waiting for me.

You're probably the first one to install an Italian speaker...

in a taxi.

Did you finish it?

Finish what? My quota?

Hey.

I have enough money to put away in my savings account.

You have enough to save money.

I knew it. Taxis have to stand out too.

Airport taxis. The premium taxis, strictly for foreigners.

But you're a private taxi driver. I drive for the company.

Other people will probably think you're rich too.

That's my speaker.

(32S 2248)

Excuse me.

- Hey. Let's go. - No.

Hold on!

That's mine! My speaker!

Wait! That's my speaker!

Hey!

Hey, step on it.

Come on! We have to catch that guy.

If you help me catch him, I'll give you 300 dollars.

- Three hundred dollars. - Four hundred dollars!

- Five hundred dollars. - Come on.

- Deal? - Deal.

Okay. Deal. Fasten your seatbelt.

Hey, did they already get away?

The car left less than a minute ago.

It probably hasn't reached the main road yet.

This is Seo Young Min, Taxi 8255.

I spotted a sneak thief, stealing from Changsik Villa in Gueun-dong.

He's running away in a silver vehicle. Plate number, 2248.

Please report to the police and share the location.

Is that the Taxi Cop you told me about?

Hey, over there!

We got you!

That's it. Yes, we're so close.

(School zone, slow down)

What? Why are you suddenly slowing down?

This is a protection zone for children.

I don't have a problem paying the fine.

But I cannot have penalty points under my license.

- I reported it to the police. - Thank you.

A patrol car is trying to approach the vehicle now.

He should catch the thief on his own.

Why get the police involved?

What?

Is that 2248?

Hey, 2248!

Hey, I'm at the entrance of Yugeun-dong.

I just spotted the suspect's vehicle.

He just turned right toward Daewoo Hospital on the main road.

I'm at...

Over there!

That way!

He went that way.

I just saw the silver vehicle, 2248,

make a turn into the alley toward Heukwoon Butcher Shop.

Okay. Tell the patrol car to head there.

Hey, what are you doing? The butcher shop is that way!

There's a garbage truck going down that road.

He'll lose 2 or 3 minutes there.

But he knows I'm chasing him. There's no way he'll wait there.

What? Hey.

- Darn it. What's this? - Darn it.

Turn right.

(Seoul 20B 8255)

(32S 2248)

Back up.

Darn it. The cops are here!

- Hey. - What?

Darn it. You jerk.

- Don't chase me. - Hey.

I told you to stop chasing me.

Hey, you're not even a cop. Why are you chasing me?

I studied to become a cop...

back in the day.

Gosh. What a lunatic.

You must have a death wish.

Let go. Get your hands off me.

Come here.

Do you want to die?

Sorry. Let me go.

Hold on. Don't do that.

- Hey. Over here! - Seok Jin!

- Seok Jin. - Gosh.

What's wrong? Are you hurt?

You owe me 20 dollars for the ride...

and 500 dollars for catching him.

Also, the fine for the traffic ticket.

- That's 750 dollars in total. - Wait.

You and your numbers!

Over here!

Two sneak thieves had been stealing valuables...

that amounted to 50,000 dollars...

from 30 empty houses in Seoul.

Taxi drivers and police officers closely worked together...

to arrest them.

The thieves confessed their crimes to the police.

And the police confiscated the evidence.

Make mine a sunny-side-up, please.

What? What sunny?

Don't cook the yolk.

Gosh, grandma. You're fluent in English.

When you go on a brunch date with a girl,

make sure to ask for it sunny-side-up.

You'll look fancy.

Memorize that. "Sunny-side-up."

Grandma.

I like my yolks cooked.

Your palate is so not sophisticated.

I wonder where you got your palate from.

Grandma, you have to take your medicine. Enjoy your meal.

Okay.

- I'll get going now. - Okay. Go on.

Be careful.

Okay.

Gosh. What a tough life.

My grandson is the one taking care of me.

Gosh, my coins.

Two, four, six, eight...

My 50-cent coin. That's missing.

Where did it go?

What's this?

Did one of my customers leave this behind?

Mr. Seo Young Min?

If you don't pay back the mortgage loan,

this house will be auctioned off.

- Pardon? - Mr. Seo,

the overdue payments triggered an event of default.

I'm sure you've been getting the notices in your mailbox.

But this still hasn't been sorted out. That's why I'm here.

(We're notifying you that the event of default has been triggered.)

The late fee is 20,000 dollars.

The principal is...

(Remaining principal: 100,000 dollars)

- A hundred thousand dollars? - It's odd that...

you failed to check this...

for three months.

I had my reasons.

But I can't get this kind of money overnight.

Well, there is a way out of this.

If you can pay us 20,000 dollars by the end of this month,

the house won't be auctioned off.

Twenty thousand dollars?

How am I going to pay back twenty thousand dollars?

Twenty thousand dollars...

Sir.

The cemetery in Mangu-ri.

Okay. Get in.

(Vacant)

Hey. Don't scare him like that.

We're actresses.

- Let's go. - Let's get going.

Fasten your seatbelts.

- We're buckled up. - Let's go.

All right. Here we go.

Over there.

We're here.

- All right. We've arrived. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Goodnight.

We're here.

It's you guys, right?

I can't even take out a loan from major banks anymore.

The insurance fee, the union fee, the gas fee,

the taxi booking app membership, and repair fees.

(Vacant)

My fixed expenses alone are about 1,500 dollars.

How am I going to get 20,000 dollars right now?

No.

It's not over until it is.

Even Mom did it.

I will work every single day this month.

And I'll pay back the money.

You got this, Seo Young Min!

What's wrong with this?

What's going on?

Well,

excuse me.

All of the customers got off earlier.

Well,

your friends got off at the filming location.

I'm sorry. I'll get out.

What?

What's wrong with her?

The forensic report said...

Young Min should've been home by now.

There are no weapons, fingerprints, or DNA.

Is he having a busy day?

I hope he meets nice customers.

Keep looking. We're bound to find something.

Then...

Hey.

Sir.

Sir.

Hey.

What was that?

I went through the door.

Am I dead?

The ghost.

Sir.

No way!

Sir, where are you going?

Sir!

Wait! Sir!

Sir!

No way.

She's really a ghost?

Where... Why all of a sudden...

Where on earth did she come from?

(Parking Patrol)

Hey. Stop!

That's my taxi!

You can't park your car here.

- Move your car now. - I will.

But can you check one thing for me?

What?

Can you check if anyone is in the taxi?

Please just once.

Do you see anyone inside?

No one's here.

Gosh. Right?

There's no way.

My energy must be weakening. I'm seeing things now.

Thank you.

You're finally back.

Calm down.

Sir.

Shouldn't we talk about this circumstance we're in?

Why on earth...

are you in my taxi?

I don't know.

Why not?

I don't know. I really have no idea.

Why...

Why not?

I don't know who I am or where I am.

I can't remember anything.

Sir. Do you know who I am by any chance?

We have transferred your case to Dongpa Police Station...

and told them to continue the investigation.

It may take 1 to 3 days...

for your case to be assigned to an investigator.

A new detective will be in charge of the case.

Over here! Nurse!

(Kang Ji Hyun, September 8, 1993 April 15, 2022)

How would I know you?

This is the first time I've ever seen you.

Don't be like that and take a good look at me.

You might have seen me somewhere before.

Sir. Are you a shaman?

What? I'm not a shaman.

I'm a taxi driver.

If not, how can you see me?

And why am I here?

I don't know, either.

I've really never seen you before.

Then,

there is only one thing that I can reasonably suspect.

"Reasonably suspect?"

While you were passed out,

I took a look around the taxi.

But...

"But?"

There were bloodstains in the backseat.

Blood?

I must have been killed when I was hit by this taxi...

Don't be ridiculous.

This taxi hasn't had any accidents since my mom drove it...

for the past 20 years.

- Then did you murder me? - What a terrifying thing to say.

You're the prime suspect!

(Recordings)

They're making such a fuss, asking me to squirt blood.

- Oh, my gosh! - Gosh!

- You got it on my white clothes! - My gosh.

The blood burst everywhere!

- Here's a tissue. - I'm sorry.

It's fine. I'll wipe it later.

See?

I'm innocent.

Get out of my taxi this instant!

I want to do that too.

But...

I can't.

I absolutely can't get away from this taxi.

Why not?

You're obviously standing outside of it now.

- If you just go somewhere... - Just...

watch me.

See?

I told you.

I can't get away...

from this taxi!

I have to start taking customers now.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Are you buckled up?

- Yes. - Oh, right.

I'll get going now.

You're still working in this situation?

Sir, could you stop the car for a second?

- Quickly. - What?

Stop the car.

Gosh, sir. Are you okay?

I feel better now that I'm outside the car.

What?

That's weird.

I've never felt queasy while riding in your taxi before.

What's wrong with me?

I feel as if there's something in the car.

It gives me the chills. I got goosebumps all over.

Sorry. I can't ride your taxi today because of this stomachache.

I'll call you again next time. I'm sorry.

(Vacant)

I'm not getting any business because of you.

None of the customers can get in the car.

What will you do about my regulars?

I have a loan to pay off.

I mean...

Is there proof that I'm the reason your customers feel queasy?

Didn't you hear what he said earlier?

He felt queasy and got chills like there was a ghost in the taxi.

This is all because of you.

What's that? Why are you turning that on?

You're occupying my taxi illegally right now.

In other words, this is occupation without permission...

and riding for free.

What will you do about the taxi fare?

What? Why not just cite the Punishment of Minor Offenses Act?

"Article 3-1: punishable by a fine up to 100 dollars,"

"misdemeanor imprisonment, or a minor fine."

How do you know that?

That's actually correct.

How do I know that?

Did I perhaps work in the legal field?

Anyway, I'll definitely get my taxi fare today, no matter what.

I'll find out who you are,

and I'll get my taxi fare from your family members,

even if that's what it takes!

Really? I'd be so thankful if you do.

(Warm and trustworthy police that stands with the people)

You want me to find someone by looking at this?

I tried my best to draw as accurately as possible.

Is this supposed to be me?

Then was there...

a woman who died in an accident near here?

She was in her 20s or 30s.

No, could she be in her 40s or 50s?

What?

One moment.

(Information, What can we help you with?)

I can't see my reflection.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

From the sound of my voice, I don't seem that old.

Sir, do I really look like I'm in my 50s?

I don't think there's anyone like that.

Thanks.

Sir.

Can't you ask a little more?

Sir.

I'll begin the briefing on the Kang Ji Hyun case...

which has been transferred from the Bukdaemun Police Station.

The date when Kang Ji Hyun was initially found...

was April 12 at 11pm.

She was found by her father, Kang Hyung Soo.

I didn't get to eat all day.

You know, taxi drivers...

eat with the money they earn that day.

But I earned zero dollars today.

You really are something.

How can everything be about money to you?

Darn it.

If I were you, I'd be curious why this happened to me.

Don't you have any sympathy?

If I don't pay back my loan, I might lose my house.

Sympathy, my foot.

Will you take responsibility for my house and my grandma?

So,

please...

Get lost, will you?

Darn it.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir!

Darn it.

Does he think I want to be here?

Gosh, but do ghosts...

usually not remember anything?

Darn it...

(Seoul 20B 8255)

"Twenty B 8255?"

That sounds familiar.

What could it be?

She can't come all the way here, right?

Why aren't you coming in and standing there?

What's going on?

You stayed out all night. That's unusual of you.

Grandma.

Seriously, why did I get stuck with that ghost?

No. This is a dream.

Once I get some sleep,

it'll all be fine.

Darn it.

I reserved this taxi.

- I told you. I reserved this taxi. - Miss.

Hello.

(Notice)

Here.

The person in the passenger seat...

is my mom who has Alzheimer's.

I ask for your understanding.

- Here she is. - Oh, miss.

I'm sorry, but could you sit in the back seat?

Oh, yes.

Watch your head.

I'll close the door for you.

- Thanks. - It's nothing.

- Can you take these for a second? - Okay.

- I'm off. - Wait...

Why haven't I seen Young Min around lately?

I know. I can't reach him either. Maybe something is going on.

I'm off.

Did you have a nightmare?

It's time for lunch. How long will you keep sleeping?

I said I'd go to Burger King with the other grandmas today.

Get up and drive me.

What?

You're riding in my taxi today?

Yes.

Gosh, it's so hot.

Oh, there it is.

Goodness.

Why didn't you park the car at home?

You parked it so far away.

Wait, Grandma.

Well...

There's a stain on the passenger seat.

I think you should ride in the back today.

Is that so? Okay.

Oh, this must be your grandma.

Hello, Grandma.

Why are you saying hello?

What did you say?

Grandma, just take another taxi.

I'll get one for you.

Why would I take another taxi...

when my grandson drives one himself?

You used to be so stingy. What's gotten into you?

It's just that you already have an illness.

If something happens and you get spooked...

I'm running late.

My friends and I said we'd try ordering on that kiosk thing today.

Mr. Seo. Let's get going.

"Let's get going."

Gosh.

(Seoul)

Why do you keep looking back at me?

Eyes on the road.

Grandma.

Are you okay?

Did the noodles from last night go bad?

I feel a little nauseous.

I guess that wasn't your usual parking spot.

You must've parked there on purpose last night,

right?

Excuse me.

Sir.

How could you do that?

Can't you see me?

I'm driving. Why are you being like this?

Watch out!

Grandma, are you okay?

What on earth just happened?

I'm okay.

Sir, this would be like killing me twice.

I'll be good. Please give me another chance.

Just put your mind at ease and move on to the afterlife.

This is costing me my precious money.

Don't exchange words with that thing.

Okay.

Impurities, be gone!

Be gone!

Impurities, be gone!

Be gone!

What was that?

Did I teleport?

Excuse me. Can't you see her?

She's over there.

What's this?

Are you doubting me?

I'm not.

In that case, this will do the trick.

Go away, spirits!

Mother, I'm hungry.

Give me something to eat.

Go away, spirits!

Gosh, you scared me.

Go away, spirits!

My ears hurt!

Go away, spirits!

Sir.

Don't you think you're wasting your precious money?

I think she's a quack.

- Gosh. - Go away, spirits!

Go away, spirits!

Go away, spirits!

(Deahun Medical Center, Doctor Do Gyu Jin)

Go away, spirits!

Yes, Dr. Do.

This is a really important customer.

I can't turn him down just because I have a ghost with me.

Come to think of it, it would all be fine if you weren't here.

Maybe the trunk...

(Reserved)

The roof. What about the roof?

Gosh.

Even ghosts have human rights.

Don't you think putting me on the roof is too harsh?

Ghosts don't have human rights.

You're just a freeloader.

Eyes on the road!

Young Min. I just got an urgent call,

but my car is in the shop for repairs.

You said you were in the area. Please do me this favor.

Yes. I'll take you there as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Sir.

See? Some people are totally fine.

It's just people who have weak spirits...

that can't ride in the same car as a ghost.

And even that's a cowardly excuse.

Look at this guy.

(Emergency vehicles)

(Paramedics)

Breathing rate is at 45.

Saturation kept decreasing and is at an 80 now.

Let's run an ABGA as soon as we get him inside.

- Yes, doctor. - Yes, doctor.

I guess he's a doctor.

Would I have been in that situation too?

Once the tests are done, let's get him in for a scan.

Mom.

The emergency room of Deahun Medical Center, please.

Please hurry!

(Deahun Medical Center)

Hey, Seo Young Min.

You didn't come when I called,

but I hear you came right away when Dr. Do called.

I can't believe it.

Sorry.

I've had a lot going on lately.

By the way, I brought this for Dr. Do.

Can you give it to him?

Was that why you were waiting?

Give it to him yourself.

Should I call him for you?

Wait here.

Hey, Young Min.

You're doing it again.

You must be tired these days.

Have some of these and hang in there.

I told you this was unnecessary.

When will you stop thanking me?

I couldn't thank you enough during my lifetime.

I'll drink these and do my best.

Thanks for today.

(Deahun Medical Center)

How affectionate.

What's the relationship between them?

(Seoul 20B 8255)

Just a second.

This is your house, isn't it?

In that vacant lot,

it was pitch-dark without any street lights.

There were many strange things too.

I was scared.

Also, it will be inconvenient to go back and forth.

What is she talking about?

I hate that place.

It's absolutely horrifying.

So, can you please park your car here?

I'll be quiet. I promise.

You saw how my grandma almost got hurt, didn't you?

I can stand almost everything except for harming my grandma.

You can never come inside.

I'll stay right here.

You can trust this ghost.

Ghosts can't be trusted.

Good night!

(Dongpa-go)

(Dongpa-go Jobs for Seniors)

I told you to relax, and you were still looking for jobs?

Did you take your pills today?

Grandma, wake up.

- Grandma. - Yes?

You're home, Young Min.

You should sleep in your room.

Sleep tight.

It's beautiful.

(Happy Young Min's House)

(Bun Ja, Jin Sook, and Young Min)

It's well-made.

"Bun Ja, Jin Sook, and Young Min."

One day,

out of the blue,

a ghost...

started haunting my taxi.

Do you know how to remove...

a ghost?

At least it's less scary with the lights on.

By the way,

why can't I get away from this taxi?

To figure that out,

I should stick by his side.

Good night, sir.

"Set me up on a date with that ghost girl."

"Been Single Forever."

"Here's a 'like' for your imagination."

You didn't even click on "like."

"Be careful."

"She might attract other ghosts as well."

"The ghost gate is open in your taxi."

What?

"Answered..."

"by Cheongdam Shaman?"

Goodness...

What does it mean that the ghost gate is open?

Gosh. But what choice do I have?

I'm the only one who can make money.

(Dongpa-go Map)

Hello, sir.

Have you slept well?

(Happy Young Min's House)

What's gotten into you?

You're scary as it is. Don't be scarier.

What's gotten into me?

This is such a joyful coincidence.

It's better to get along.

Why should we get along?

Are you bipolar or something?

Don't be so harsh. Hop in.

You have to start making money, which is your favorite.

(Vacant)

You know, I've given it some thought.

It's not like no one can ride this taxi...

because I'm here, right?

Also, that doctor...

had no problem getting to where he need to go yesterday.

So, what I'm saying is...

that I'll instantly move...

when you have a customer.

There's a customer, sir.

Aren't you getting in, sir?

Me?

Can I really get in?

Of course, you can.

(Deahun Medical Center)

Shoot.

So, the ghost gate is open?

Is that why they're getting in my taxi?

Is this buy-one-get-one-free?

Darn it.

You're of no help.

How can you be afraid of another ghost?

But I had never met a different ghost before.

It's my first time being able to talk.

It's so nice to meet you.

My taxi isn't a conference room for ghosts.

Why are you doing this to me?

I have something to tell you.

Wait.

I saw him first.

Is this first come, first served?

Sir, I...

It hurts.

Did you see that?

I'm an expert at this.

Maybe I used to be a bodyguard.

Let go of my arm! Please?

I'm...

letting you win because you're a girl. If I wanted...

- Then what? - I surrender.

Just let go.

Are you a thug? Who are you?

- Beats me. Who was I? - Sir, hear me out.

You're quite obstinate.

I said that I saw him first.

I get to ask him for a favor first.

- Wouldn't you agree? - The order...

- is not what matters. - It does matter!

Stop!

Are you waiting in line or something?

I said that I saw him first.

Again, why does it matter so much that you saw him first?

It's a common courtesy for humans, isn't it?

- I'm first, and you're second. - What?

I'm not human. I'm a ghost.

Oh, gosh. That's so childish.

I've never been childish.

And this is my first time seeing someone who can see me.

That's what's important here.

(Vacant)

Oh, dear.

The back of my neck suddenly feels stiff.

Sir, I'm sorry.

But... Wait!

I'm done for.

This taxi is out of business.

Who waited longer doesn't mean anything,

- nor does the order. - Why doesn't it?

- Why not? - Well, who died first?

Did you die before me?

We live in a world where that's absolutely pointless.

The taxi driver can decide which one of us is more important.

I can see those ghosts who mean nothing to me.

How come I can't see my mom?

I have to tell her something.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but...

I don't think this will work.

(Used Car Exhibition)

Wait!

Please reconsider.

You're ignoring two people...

I mean, you're neglecting two desperate ghosts.

So, please hear me out.

No, I'm first!

Tell the next owner about what you want.

It's been terrible so far,

so I hope we never see each other again.

No, wait!

Other people can't see me.

I can't give up without knowing...

who I am and how I died.

That's...

your problem.

That brat.

Sir!

- Sir. - Sir.

- Please! - No, thanks.

Excuse me.

Can you see me?

Can you take out the gold ring in the car?

Gold?

My child was sick,

so I was on my way to sell the gold we had,

then I got into an accident.

My wife didn't know that and sold the car.

My kid is at Sangjin Hospital.

He's alive, right?

- Can I ask him for a favor? - Wait...

Sir!

Sir!

There's gold in this car!

It fell under the seat during the accident.

He was right.

I think this will help pay my kid's hospital fees.

- Can you help me? - Sir.

I guess some ghosts are helpful.

So, why don't you reconsider?

Sir! Are you interested in that car?

Let me help you.

- I... - Sir.

- I'll come back next time. - Where are you going?

Sir!

- Sir! - Sir.

Wait. Are you stealing it?

Hey!

(Sangjin Hospital)

What's this, Na Jung? Who gave it to you?

A stranger.

He told me that this was from Dad and to give it to you.

From Dad?

If that car dealer had seen it, he wouldn't have given it up.

I see. That was why.

What is it?

Dad said that this was for you.

Thanks.

A ghost paid.

Sir, where are you headed?

Where else?

To sell my taxi.

Sir, I've thought about this.

You need to be rational at a time like this.

What you currently need is money.

You can keep driving the taxi as long as you make money.

And that money...

The ghosts can give you that money.

How much debt do you have?

It's 20,000 dollars.

Why? Will you give me that much?

Well...

I can pay you that much.

I was in the VIP funeral hall of Deahun Medical Center.

You could afford the VIP hall of Deahun Medical Center?

That's really expensive.

Shouldn't you be at least...

a director of a major company?

This jerk.

I have to make this ghost taxi successful.
