BLACK HOUSE

I'm sorry, Juno.

Jun-Suk!

Congratulations on
your first day at work!

Jeon Juno?

Mr. Nam?

Hello! My name is Jeon Juno.
I've been assigned here.

I brought the papers.

Get rid of that name tag.

I thought it would help you
recognize me.

What did you do before coming here?

- I was at a bank.
- You must be good with money, then.

Did you read the file?

Yes, the patient is complaining of
a different sickness every 120 days.

That's because he can't be admitted for
more than 120 days for the same thing.

That's the only way he gets the money.

He's not a patient.
He's nothing but a con artist.

- 4,000.
- I see you and raise you 6,000.

Remember what I told you.
Do as I say.

Kang Ki-Tae?

Good luck.

Allow me to get to my point.
Here's a cancellation form.

If you sign here,
we'll return your premium in full.

When you tried to sell me
the insurance, you kissed my ass.

I have a legitimate claim!

Why are you coming down with
a new sickness every 120 days?

I can't help it if I'm sick.
Even the doctor says so.

Is that why you came to
this particular hospital?

You could have been admitted

to a hospital near your house.

Ask the doctor.

Did the man...

who was with you a moment ago
advise you to say that?

And who are you?

Your file says your car was hit from
behind and completely crashed.

That means you didn't cause
this accident on purpose.

Why would anyone do this
on purpose?

It's hard making a living
as a cab driver.

I've once done it myself.

But...

Isn't it more important to set
a better example for your kids?

Were you really a cab driver?

Yes. For a while.

So how could you be so naive?
Don't let anyone catch on to that.

I'll remember that.

I liked your speech.
Don't know if it'll work, though.

I think he understands
what he has to do now.

- Please write the address, as well.
- OK.

Hello?

Can we still collect on a policy
if there's been a suicide?

Oh... Well...

Has someone passed away
in your family?

If you tell me
your registration number,

I'll confirm your policy.

But there are special provisions.

What do you mean?

The policy is void if suicide occurs
within two years of the purchase date.

Are you...

contemplating suicide?

I know it isn't my place to say,

but perhaps you should reconsider.

We might be able to pay out on
the policy if you were to die,

but it'll leave a terrible wound
in the hearts of your loved ones.

I'm not telling you this
as an employee,

but because I've seen a family
member die before my very eyes.

And who was that?

It was my younger brother.
We were both young.

How...?

He was bullied a lot as a kid.

What is your name?

I'm Jeon Juno and
I'm at the evaluation desk.

Thank you.

Sure.

Do not give out personal information
to clients under any circumstances.

Mina? Are you home?

You have one new message.

First message.

Happy birthday, honey.

I'll cook you a special dinner!
See you soon.

Look at all this food.

Are you hungry?

How did you get home so early?

I wanted to surprise you.

With your snoring?

Let's have cake instead.

Why?

That'll take too long to prepare.

That's if you do it. Hold on.

You've got a new message.

I have to be back
at the hospital by ten.

I'm sorry.

Then we won't have time
to cut the cake.

I don't know about that.

What are you doing?

Kang Ki-Tae

We have to go to court
if we don't get his consent.

It's hard to prove the patient and
the hospital are in this together.

That's why we need
a special investigator.

But isn't that a little...

Those people are all frauds.
There are all sorts of them.

We need to stay sharp.
Do you hear me?

Yes, sir.

Here.

This client wants to talk
to a new insurance agent.

He says his old one
has a bad attitude.

He specifically asked for you.

House 43?

That's the public baths.

- It's that house over there.
- I see.

Be careful of passing trains.

- The barriers are broken.
- Thank you.

PARK CHOONG-BAE

Who are you?

Well...

Someone who has a good job
makes a visit to this humble place.

You have a nice place.

I heard one of our employees
was rather rude to you.

Bo-Hun?

Bo-Hun!
We have a guest over at our house!

Bo-Hun!

Aren't you going to come out?

You don't have to bother him.
He must be studying.

It's rude of him not
to greet a guest.

Bo-Hun!

Bo-Hun!

We don't have many guests over,

and I'm already old and useless.

You seem like a good man.
Perhaps you can talk to my son?

Give him some words of advice?

I think that might help him.

Why don't you look in his room?

Me?

Yes.

All right.

This room?

Bo-Hun!

Bo-Hun!

No!

Why have you done this?

What haven't I given you?

Park Choong-Bae asked for you.

Have you met him before this?

I've never seen him before.

I don't know why he asked for me.

So you went to their house

and saw his son
hanging from the ceiling?

But...

it might not be a suicide.

What do you mean?

I was in total shock at first,

but when I turned to Choong-Bae,

he wouldn't look me in the eye.

I heard what happened.
All sorts of things happen.

Did you get any sleep?

Yes.

There is a possibility
it's not a suicide?

Here, take a look at this.

His entire family is insured.

Where does he get the money
to pay $800 a month?

I found it strange.
It says he's a sheet metal worker,

but I think he's out of work.

Would he kill his own son
for $30 million?

He's not his real son.

The kid's name is Bo-Hun.
He's his wife's son from a former marriage.

This is for the police to decide.

The family took the body?

Has there been an autopsy?

We're not allowed to disclose
our files to private companies.

What are you talking about?
I'm a witness!

They're scattering his ashes today.
You can meet the family there.

This is our file on Park Choong-Bae.

This could be a murder.

Leave it on the desk.

Where did it go?

Those insurance guys always try to
get out of paying up.

It was me...

I was the one who discovered
your son's body.

I don't know how this will sound,

but is there anything
I can do to help you?

Thank you for coming.

We need your help.

He already drew up the claim?

Even before they finished scattering
the ashes on the lake.

How could anyone do this?

His family took his body
without any autopsy.

The cops see this as a suicide.

I have a suggestion.

I'd like to go back
and check all his past records.

Are you certain this was a murder?

Yes.

I know Park Choong-Bae came for
an insurance policy.

Yes, he did.
He and I went to the same school.

He made a sudden visit to take out
a policy for all his family.

Going to school finally paid off.

He came to you first?
Were you two close?

Close?

No one was close to Choong-Bae.
He was odd.

He'd feed dead chickens hung
in the cage while humming a song.

We knew he killed them.

Why?

His mother hanged herself
when he was in Year One.

Those rumors didn't come
out of nowhere. There's more.

One of our classmates drowned.

We think he pushed her in the water.

He used to be in love with her.

Was there any evidence?

No. No one could prove anything.

I must be getting old.
My memory is failing me.

This is a collection of
the student's old poems.

It's cute.

You're here about insurance?

Has there been an accident?

Did something happen to the kids?

Today, I caught a dragonfly.

It had pretty wings.
After staring at them,

I plucked them off, one by one.

That night, my mother
appeared in my dreams

and plucked my arms off
like I did to the dragonfly.

I cried and cried. She left.

I knew I wouldn't see her again.
I was sad.

Hello, Mr. Park.

I understand you stopped by.

I was here every day.

Look!

I need the money.

My poor son died,

and we don't even have
the money to buy flowers.

Give me the money.

Let's talk in there.

We never missed a payment.

Why can't we have the money?

Well...

The police haven't clarified
the cause of death yet.

It was suicide.

That's your opinion.

It hasn't been decided officially yet.

I see.

You shouldn't come here.
You should wait at home.

We'll contact you as soon as
we know something.

Where...do you live?

Pardon?

Where do you live?

We're not allowed to give out
that information.

Choong-Bae had a missing thumb.

He must have health insurance.

It's not here.

The file's not in our database,
but we still have the contract.

Did that man really kill his son
for insurance money?

I think so.

He comes here every day at three,
looking for you.

I say, "He's not here."
But he never listens to me.

He always waits for you
until you show up.

It should be around here.

Does he cause any trouble?

No. He just waits silently.

But that's even scarier.

Here we are.

Thank you.

This is it?

This is strange.
I know it was in here.

Mr. Nam?

Choong-Bae was one of many

who cut off their fingers
during the IMF crisis.

You've heard of them.

They'd freeze their hands
to lose all feeling in their fingers.

Then they'd cut through
a finger with a knife.

That's awful.

What did the police say?

There was no evidence
to prove it was intentional.

We had no choice but
to pay out the claim.

- Did you find out anything?
- No.

Just that he was a troubled child.
He bought insurance voluntarily.

He was here every day.

I heard.

He cut off his own finger, and
he killed his son for money.

He takes the train for three hours
to come here every day.

And he's rejected every day.

Imagine how he must feel.

Dong-Min? Would you like
a piece of candy?

- Do you want candy?
- Which one?

- Which one?
- This one?

No?

You never talk about work these days.

I don't?

I've been waiting for you to talk to me.

I don't know what to make of this client.

Who?

You have 30 new messages.

First message.

Eighth message.

Ninth message.

What the hell?

20th message.

He called you?
How did he know your number?

He stole the phone bills
from my mailbox.

And he left 30 messages?

HONG CHUN UNIVERSITY
HAN SEUNG-KYU

Mina sent you?

She's very worried about you.

That man could kill you.

Ever heard of psychopaths?

No.

Take a look at these photos.

They're all crying.

- Except for this one.
- Right.

Most people can tell the difference.

But psychopaths can't.
To them, these all look the same.

They were born without
the ability to feel.

They don't feel anyone else's pain,
and they don't feel guilt.

For their benefit, they can do whatever
they can to get what they want.

They can even do cruel things.

Are they different from psychos?

Psychos don't know
what it is they are doing.

They kill a child
just because they want to.

But psychopaths are different.

They kill a child, knowing that
they can get insurance money.

They see people as objects
who stand in their way.

- Is this a disease?
- I see it as such.

- Is there no cure?
- No.

All we can do is isolate them
from society.

- But they are human beings, too.
- They do...

whatever they can
to realize their goal.

Why do you think he called you
to the scene?

It wasn't a coincidence.

He's chosen you as his prey.

This is a dissertation I wrote.

Sociological Behavioral Study
on Psychopaths

It might help you.

You'll see human beings
in a totally new light.

28th message.

I'm sorry, Juno...

29th message.

ls Jeon Juno here?

He's not coming in today.

Why not?

He's not feeling well.

Hello.

I know it wasn't easy to come here,
but no decision has been made.

Look, we really need the money.

Please try to be patient.

- Why won't you give it to us?
- We never said we wouldn't.

The police haven't confirmed the COD.

You saw him with your own eyes.

It was suicide!

Is that why you called me there?
To have me check for myself?

- Give us the money.
- You knew me before this, didn't you?

Let us have the money.

You are making a big mistake
if you think you can use me.

We really need the money.

I can't take much more.

That's never going to happen.
I'll do what's best for your son.

Why are you doing this?
You have a great job.

Even your girlfriend has a good job.

You...

You killed your own son!

Don't you have any feeling?

Juno! He's a client!

You don't have to come here anymore.

What?

The decision's been made. We are
issuing your insurance payout.

This way, please.

You must be pleased.

What?

You won't have to see him again.

This isn't over.

Juno. You saw the papers.

His wife is insured, too.

- He'll get $300 million if she dies.
- What?

He's proved to himself
he can get away with this.

It's only a matter of time.

How can a person do that?

You still think of him as a person?

I heard Seung-Kyu went to see you.

I know he can be creepy, but I thought
he could help you with that client of yours.

That man sounds like he's disturbed.

That case is closed.

What?

I never knew insurance
could kill people.

When my family went through
the difficult times,

we managed with the insurance
my dad left behind,

so I used to think of it as
a good thing, as a lifesaver.

I guess I was wrong.

Dear Mrs. Shin Yi-Hwa,

I'm sorry if this letter
comes as a surprise.

I am a police officer.

I know it's heartbreaking
but when we look into this case,

we've come to believe
your husband killed your son.

It's clear he killed his son, who is not
his blood relative, for the money.

He has you insured as well.
We fear for your life.

There's no evidence,
but he's definitely going to harm you

to get the insurance money.

You must leave this man,
or at least cancel the policy.

I wish you well.

Please,

either get a divorce

or cancel the policy
under your name.

If not, you could be in danger.

Why are you telling me this?

I might tell my husband.

One person is dead already,
and one more could die.

Are insurance agents
always this compassionate?

I'm not here as an employee.

Then?

I once lost a family member.

My brother...

was always lying in bed,
because he was always sick.

My parents took good care of him.
They loved him so much.

That made me angry,
so I used to send him to the store

to buy bread for me
which actually I didn't like.

You idiot!

All I did was watch.

I hate you!

I'm sorry, Juno.

And then... He...

Jun-Suk!

Jun-Suk!

You blame yourself for his death.

I don't think I can bear it

if someone else gets killed.

Can you really...help me?

I meant every word I said.

Then kill my husband for me.

I should leave.

I knew it.

Stop meddling
if you don't really care.

If you need it, I'll send you
the cancellation form.

Year One, Shin Yi-Hwa
"Dream of Swing"

I am all alone.
I got on the swing.

I kept going up,

faster and faster.

I was fine.

I fell into a dark place.

I couldn't see anything.

But I was all fine.

What is this?

Mina?

Mina, what is it?

Becky... Becky...

- What about Becky?
- Becky's dead...

- Her head has been cut off'!
- Calm down, Mina.

I'll be right there.

Mina,

let's call the police first.

It's not over with that client, is it?

The police called.

Detective Oh wants you to call him.

Move aside.

Come closer and take a look.

Do you recognize him?

No, I don't.

Your business card was in his pocket.

What?

Bring me that.

Have you seen this?

Is it...?

What about this?
I'd like you to take a look.

You say he killed his son,

and is planning to kill his wife.

And Han Seung-Kyu was killed
while trying to write a thesis.

Choong-Bae must think I sent him.

OK. Let's say that's true.

You say he killed your girlfriend's dog.

Why would he do things
to attract the police's attention?

I think it's a warning.
He's telling me to stay away.

Stay away?

I went to his house
to warn his wife.

Driving me crazy...
Hey, insurance guy!

That could constitute
a crime of slander...

That's enough.

This all started because you believe
he killed his son.

Yes, I do.

You should go to his house.
I'm sure you'll find something.

Look what he did when his son died.

He clocked in at the factory
around that time.

We have witnesses
who saw him at work.

He got heavily into gambling.
He's knee deep in debt.

What about the camera?

There was no memory card inside.

What about that envelope?

The writing on it says...

You mean this?

You think this can stand
as credible evidence?

I know there are crazy people
who kill for no reason,

but this only looks like...

you're trying to cheat
a hardworking man.

Don't go to the hospital
for the time being.

Why not?

Han Seung-Kyu was killed.

Becky's head was ripped off,

and Seung-Kyu has been killed.

What have you done?

I didn't do anything.

I just wanted to save
a poor woman's life.

Is that so wrong?

Do you leave your patients to die?

No, but...

it's up to the patient to decide
whether they want treatment.

Did that woman ask you
for your help?

Then why would you do this?
I don't understand you.

What is turning you into this?
I really don't get it!

Mina!

Mina, please.

I can't lose you now.

This is just too hard.

You wake up screaming at night,

you always have a blank look
on your face,

and you have to drink to get to sleep!

I'm a doctor.

My job is to help people.

But I feel like I can't help you.

All I can do is smile.
It's so hard.

You have 30 new messages.

First message.

These people don't have hearts.

Tae-Hee?

Can you look up the name of
Yi-Hwa's ex-husband?

Ko Min-Kyu, born 1970.

Moon Chang-SW, born 1983.

It looks like Park Choong-Bae
is her third husband.

Mr. Nam!

How much can we get?

You can receive up to $300 million
on disability insurance.

Try to be quick. Don't drag on
with it like last time.

You knew me
before you killed your son.

How do you know me?

Can we still collect on a policy
if there's been a suicide?

His wife did bring us
the severed arms.

But an animal got to them first.
They were too contaminated.

We couldn't attach them.
It was too late.

Hurt.

Hurt where?

My hands... My hands hurt.

You don't have hands anymore.

See for yourself.

My husband will never work again.

Let's go.

Don't you have a heart?

I said let's go.

Wait.

If he dies,
do we still get insurance?

You really are something.

This...

must have hurt like hell
without anesthetic.

I haven't seen this kind
of work in a while.

You know...

If it was just a finger,

we could have let it slide.

But you took both his arms.

And now you're asking for money.

Anyone can see this is bullshit.

Do you think this makes sense?

Who are you?

Ma'am.

Are you aware insurance fraud can
get you ten years in the slammer?

You're definitely going in,
since you took both arms.

Is that what you want?
Prison for ten years?

I'll keep this short.

Signing this form
terminates the policy.

We can't get you the $300 million
but you can get back all the payments.

Just sign here, and
you won't have to go to jail.

I'll come back to see you again.

Take your time and think this over.

I've never seen a woman
like that before.

Even if she's a killer, she's a woman.

She'll probably come around.

Leave her to me.

Thanks.

What is it?

Nothing.

Let's go.

You're not coming?

I once got stabbed right about there.

You've reached the home of Jeon Juno.
Please leave a message after the beep.

No new messages.

Press nine for monitoring.

why are you getting in our way?

Where are you?

When you come back,

if you use your eyes
I'll stitch up your eyes.

If you use your mouth,
I'll stitch up your mouth!

The client has turned off his unit.
Please leave a message after...

Hello?

This is Jeon Juno.

From Dong-Bu Life Insurance?

My girlfriend has been kidnapped.

She must be at Choong-Bae's house.

I'm heading there right now.
Will you send me backup?

What are you talking about?
I heard he lost both his arms.

It's not him. It's his wife!

She broke into my house.

She used my girlfriend's keys.

Hello? Detective?

I'm a little busy right now.
Let's talk at the station.

No! Detective!

Hello? Hello?

Mina!

Mina!

Mina!

Mina, Mina!

Mina!

Mina?

Mina... Mina?

What are you doing?

- Get away from me!
- No! No!

Don't come any closer!

Mina! It's me!

Hold on... Mina.

Mina, sorry, Mina...

I told you not to get in my way!

Jeon Juno?

Are you in here?
Where are you?

Open this door! Now!

Get him out of here.

- Call for an ambulance and backup!
- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

We have to get out of here!

Someone's still in there!

Someone's still in there!

Come on...

- Someone's still in there!
- We have to get out! Now!

Someone's still in there!

She's still in there!

Shin Yi-Hwa's crimes
all occurred in this house.

Besides the place where
the first body was found,

four other bodies have been
discovered under the floor.

Shin Yi-Hwa intricately planned
the premeditated murders,

and it seems she took her own life
after her crimes were uncovered.

Experts say Shin Yi-Hwa

was a clinical psychopath
who had no feeling of remorse,

much like the serial murderer Yoo
who astonished the world...

Han Seung-Kyu swallowed
the memory card in the last minute

to let the world know about the crime.

Your girlfriend...

was kidnapped while
taking out the trash.

And she made her watch
as she killed Ma Yong-Sik...

That must have been awful.

I think Shin Yi-Hwa was a monster.

She shouldn't have lived among us.

I apologize.

There was nothing we could do
till an actual crime occurred.

May I...

May I see her picture?

She was in pain.

She was screaming with pain.

She looked at me...

as if she wanted me to help her.

She was just a person like us.

No visitors allowed

Mina? I'm here.

Mina?

Help, help!

I'm tired of running away.

What do you think?

In the end, we are all the same.

Weren't you glad afterwards?

After all, you hated your brother.
Weren't you glad when he died?

You and I were no different.

You want to kill me, too, don't you?

You're right!
I killed my brother!

I don't want to see anyone else
killed before my eyes.

I want to be forgiven.

And that makes me human...

That makes me human.

FIVE MONTHS LATER

What kind of idiot drove at 140 km
through downtown Seoul?

In the end, the driver died
in the triple rear-end collision.

There were no other deaths,

but the victims are paralyzed.

The driver's insured for $400 million.

And his wife wants to get that money.

She's refusing to give any money
to the victims.

You know we don't issue payouts
if the owner was negligent.

We're supposed to meet here.

Hello? Yes.

I'm surrounded by paintings.

We're on the fourth floor.

"DREAM" BY LEE HONG-YEUN

Don't you want any?

Hong-Yeun, is there anything
you want?

I promised to get you a present
once you got out of the hospital.

Do you want a doll?

Or a new pair of shoes?

Mum, I want a puppy.

Again?
You lost him once before.

I didn't lose him, Mom.

Don't tell anyone about this. I...

What happened to the puppy is...
