SPOOKY IN LOVE

Get off me!

- Mr. Ma! Keep still!
- Get off me!

Go away!

You said you weren't afraid!

No! No!

Go away!

He's off your back now!

He's gone!

He's gone!

He's gone?

He's gone?

Do you see the kid?

Yes. I see him.

EPISODE 4

What…

I'll call it in.

Okay.

Hey, are you all right?

The back… In the back.

- The back.
- In the back?

- Look in the back.
- Hold on.

My boy. He's okay, isn't he?

He's…

He's okay, isn't he?

He's warm.

Good.

That's good.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

g*ng-uk.

Oh, no. Hold on.

- There's someone here!
- Help!

- In here.
- Over here!

There's someone here! Over here!

- Where are they?
- In there.

The child is alive!

Her breathing is shallow. Get the oxygen!

Ju-young, Daddy will make lots of money
and buy you plenty of toys.

Be good and listen to Grandma, okay?

- Okay.
- Good.

- Do you like that toy that much, Da-young?
- Yes.

Ju-young.

You're the big brother,
so look after your sister.

We found an injured little girl.

Yes. We're loading her up.

- Get that for me.
- Careful.

All done.

Let's go.

When did all this start?

I was in a yacht accident

when I was in university.

Yeo-ri!

I stopped breathing completely.

Then miraculously, I came to.

But my friend who fell in with me…

Didn't make it.

We have two different words

that mean "grave," depending on the shape.

Some have a high, rounded top,
which we call "bun."

If the body is buried underground
with a flat top, it's called "myo."

There are three different kinds
of high, rounded grave tops.

The most common type is…

After that,

- I kept seeing Ji-hwan, who had died.
- Ji-hwan.

What's the matter?

That's when it began.

- It's a lovely day.
- It is.

The weather is amazing.

- Did you have something to eat?
- No, not yet.

Ghosts that others couldn't see
appeared in front of me.

Are you all right?

-And anyone whose hands touched mine
-Thank you.

Started seeing them.

What's that?

- She sees ghosts.
- She can see stuff.

"If you so much as touch Cheon Yeo-ri,

ghosts will latch onto you too."

"If you stick around her,
you'll be cursed too."

Rumors like that started to spread.

Ever since then,

I've been living alone,
like a living ghost.

I tried to live a decent life though.

There's a lot you can do on your own.

Once you get used to it,

being alone isn't so bad.

I suspected you as an accomplice,
not knowing about your background.

I'm sorry.

I got you all wrong too,
when we first met.

What do we do now?

More ghosts will come for you.

It can't be helped.

What happened to the other people
you came in contact with?

From what I know,

I think they saw ghosts for about a month.

And after that?

After a month,

the ghosts will stop coming for you,

as long as you stay away from me.

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.

Let's stay away from each other
as best we can.

If you're around me,

you might become miserable.

Why would you say that?

Bye then.

Wait.

This is day one.
The start of that one month.

But still…

I finally understand

what you meant

in Jeju Island.

Thank you.

I might be used to how things are,

but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid.

It must've been so hard to live with.

I'm exhausted.

Let me rest tonight.

I have a lot on my mind.

Will he be okay?

It'll be really hard at first.

Why…

- What was that about?
- I don't know.

What's so funny?

Your name.

Oh, my heart hurts…

CEO CHEON YEO-RI

I wasn't aware of this,

but apparently this is a thing.

PVC STICKER FOR CARS

Print some and put them in the kids' zone.

Yes, ma'am.

One more thing.

How old is your child now, Ms. Eom?

- Four years old.
- I see.

In that case…

If your child happens to like

toys or dolls…

Thank you.

Prosecutor Ma g*ng-uk?

Yes.

I think they've been in touch
ever since he came here to see her.

Are you saying they're dating?

I can't say for sure.

Okay.

What's all this?

Mr. Ma.

I thought you had no religion.

I converted to polytheism.

- Polytheism?
- Yeah.

Are you trying to integrate all religions?

You believe in all this?

Who knows which one actually counts?

There's bound to be one
that'll scare them.

Who exactly are you trying to scare?

Well, the punks I deal with
are a dangerous bunch.

You never know when
and which deity will come through.

You do look like you could use some faith.

Why don't you come over this weekend?
I'll keep you entertained.

Oh, my mom's calling.

- Hello? Hi, Mom.
- You know,

that's a completely ridiculous idea.

It's the weekend.

If I were to suddenly go crazy,
then maybe I'd visit.

You're right.

Weekends are precious.

Night duty is better than going home.
I'll see you in the office.

I do wonder what you do on weekends.

What should we do?

Do you play video games? Or board games?

Not board games.

Let's watch a movie.
Something really steamy.

- I can't wait.
- Good.

I'm excited.

I can't wait.

Don't laugh.

You call this steamy?

It's a darn old movie too.

You called me over just to watch this?

Come on, I need to build up some courage.

Help me out with some moral support.

Pil-dong.

Why do ghosts appear
in girls' high schools?

Well, I mean…

Wouldn't it be ridiculous
if they were to haunt boys' schools?

Pil-dong, why do ghosts
always cling to people's backs?

Well…

If they were to cling to people
from the front like this,

wouldn't that look ridiculous?

Pil-dong, why do ghosts
have straight hair?

Do you think ghosts

would get perms
to keep the curls bouncy?

Wouldn't that look ridiculous?

You're right.

Could you just think
before you ask a question?

- Pil-dong.
- What?

What is it now?
You wanted to watch a movie.

It's a sunny Saturday afternoon,

and the two of us guys
are watching a g*dd*mn movie.

- I'm leaving.
- What?

You threatened me
with night duty to come here,

- but I can't stand being with you.
- Pil-dong, it's not like that.

He thinks I'm his lackey

- since I'm at his beck and call.
- Pil-dong.

- Wait, I'll buy you tuna sashimi.
- I'm not some lackey.

I'll order it right now.

- I want some belly meat.
- Of course.

- I only eat Pacific bluefin.
- Right, of course.

Pacific bluefin.

Belly.

Pil-dong, wait for me!

It's only been a week.

It's almost time.

Right.

Let's go.

PROSECUTOR MA

Yeo-ri, please, please pick up.

Sorry.

It's best that you and I

don't cross paths,
not even over the phone.

The call cannot be connected.
You will be redirected to voicemail…

Ms. Cheon! Yeo-ri!

Ms. Cheon! Yeo-ri!

What the heck?

Who is it?

- I'll leave your package out here.
- Okay.

It's just the delivery man.

Yeo-ri.

Wait, why is it closing?

If someone calls, at least pick up.

I have so many things to ask you.

Ms. Cheon.

Yeo-ri.

I'm sorry.

I think this is for the best.

I came all the way here.
Can't we talk inside?

It's tough, isn't it?

I could barely get through a week.

How did you manage to endure it
for ten whole years?

To tell you the truth,

I blamed you at first, and I was furious.

So I came here to complain.

But seeing you here,

I realize how cowardly and pathetic I am.

Unlike you,

I just have to hold out for a month.

Compared to you,
my suffering is a drop in the ocean.

Sorry for coming all this way
and making a fuss.

Don't be.

I feel bad for you just the same.

Don't be.
I'll try to get through it on my own.

I'm an adult, after all.

Much more so than you were back then.

Bye then.

Wait.

How about…

We try this?

I don't know if it'll help,

but I have a few tips of my own.

The ghosts that visit you early on

will be the nasty ones
that harass and torment others.

But don't let it show.

Their favorite moment is
when you wake up from sleep paralysis.

Do your best to hide that you're scared

and try to sleep as if you don't care.

Make them see that you're not affected.

Why? Is it not working tonight?

That's strange.
He's not usually like this.

I'm sure he saw us though.

Have you spoken to them?

Good.

Avoid talking to them at all costs.

Ignore them and hang in there
for as long as you can.

Good job.

What's wrong?

You must be at a crosswalk.

What do I do? He's staring at me.

Step on the gas as if you don't see him.

What?

- Do it.
- But…

The more you know,
the more you can handle.

I lose.

PROSECUTOR MA g*ng-UK

I'm almost there. It's nearly over.

I just have to last one more week.

- Oh, right.
- What? What is it now?

I got distracted and forgot the basics.

Sprinkling salt.

Hurl it down hard, with force.

Garlic.

- Hey, Ma.
- No, thanks.

- Hi.
- Sit with us.

I have to go through something.

- Enjoy yourselves.
- What?

I hear they dislike food
with strong odors or flavors.

In that sense, garlic is very effective.

He's definitely acting a bit off.

He's lost it.

He keeps asking me things like,
"Why do ghosts always

have long, straight hair?"

"Why do they cling to one's back?"

There must be something about ghosts.

Could he be possessed?

Look.

Look at him stuffing his face
with all that garlic.

- What's going on?
- What's gotten into him?

You know, in movies,

people who are possessed
stuff garlic down, then spit it out.

That's Dracula. Vampires do that.

- Oh, right.
- Korean ghosts hate glutinous rice

- and red beans.
- Right.

- It's the prosecutor general.
- I'm disturbing you all.

It's fine. Stay seated.

Let's eat over there.

Which division are you in?

Yes, sir. I'm…

I'm in the Cold Case Unit.
My name is Ma g*ng-uk, sir.

Oh, the team they decided to revamp?

Yes.

- So, sir.
- Mr. Ma.

I appreciate the intention
behind revamping the Cold Case Unit.

But the recent personnel transfer

was influenced by an outside…

- I'm so sorry.
- Clean him up.

I'm sorry, sir.

- Sir, let me…
- Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry, sir. I was…

He definitely did spit it out.

Oh, gosh.

Yeo-ri.

Show me your glass and champagne too.

What do you mean?

It'll be all over by tomorrow night.

Let's celebrate with champagne,
even if it's over a video call.

Give me a moment.

It's like we're drinking alone,
but not quite.

They say you shouldn't
pop the champagne too early though.

It'll be fine.

What could happen in just one day?

As long as there aren't too many of them,

I'm sure I can manage on my own for a day.

Shall we?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Yeo-ri.

Thank you for everything.

I'm glad if I helped beat the fear.

You didn't. I was scared the whole time.

What?

I was scared the whole time.

They have no physical form,

and they're not human,
so how could I not be scared?

That's true.

The truth is,

I feel the same,
though I pretend not to be.

Right?

So I wasn't the only one to be scared.

As soon as one ghost leaves,
another one appears.

And why are there so many different kinds?

I was terrified every single time.

But I felt reassured…

By your voice
that helped me through each time.

That's how I was able to get through it.

I guess that means I protected you, right?

That's pretty rewarding.

Thank you, Yeo-ri.

Oh, and I did some thinking.

Wouldn't it be okay
to interact virtually like this?

We can check on each other sometimes,
or ask for help if we need it.

People make friends
through social media these days,

and even travel online
without being there.

No.

It's best if we don't do that.

If you just get through one more day,

we can both return
to our everyday lives, right?

Take care of yourself.

Even if we meet by chance,

let's pretend…

To be strangers.

Yeo-ri…

Bye.

CEO CHEON YEO-RI
CALL ENDED

Wasn't that a bit too harsh?

We'll pretend to be strangers
even if we meet by chance?

Thank you for everything.

I was terrified every single time.

But I felt reassured

by your voice
that helped me through each time.

That's how I was able to get through it.

You said you could manage
on your own for a day.

What ghost is it this time?

CHEON HA-RI

Why do you care who I'm talking to?

And don't even think of

bringing me down with that again.

"What ghost is it this time?"

She's definitely hiding something.

- Min-hwan.
- Ha-ri.

I'm so touched.

You offered to treat me,
and you actually came.

What?

Oh, sure. Is there anything you'd like?

Whatever you like is fine.

You're a gourmand.

By the way, is something up with Yeo-ri?

What?

I called her a few times since I came,
but she didn't pick up.

If she doesn't pick up,
she's putting up a wall.

From what my mom told me,

she seems to be seeing
some prosecutor pretty often.

Prosecutor Ma g*ng-uk?

How do you know his name?

Ha-ri.

If you care about someone,

you naturally learn all about them.

PRO GOLFER PARK'S EX JANG FOUND DEAD

PARK WANTED AS LIKELY SUSPECT

Damn it!

So Cheon Yeo-ri reported it,
and that's how Ma found out?

I'm sure of it.

No wonder they both went on
about my monumental fall.

Seung-jae.

What you said before.

- Did you mean that?
- About what?

You swore on your life

that you'd help me take over Reina
once you get out of here.

You bet I did.

Then do just one thing for me.

Then you won't have to bother
swearing on your life

for Cheon Yeo-ri
to lose my grandma's favor.

It'll ruin her chances
of becoming a successor too.

What do you say?

Mr. Ma.

What? I'm going to leave on time today.

It's not that.

It's Park Seung-jae.

What about him?

Park Seung-jae was granted
a motion for detention review?

Why do you care?
It's not your case anymore.

It may not be my case, but still.

It makes no sense that a m*rder*r like him
is getting released!

You think I granted it? The court did!

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

It was the prosecutor general's order.

He has high hopes for the Cold Case Unit.

Do a good job and score some points.

And be gentle with the door
when you come and go.

CORRECTIONAL SERVICES
ADVANCING ORDER AND HUMAN RIGHTS

- Well done.
- Good job.

Man, I had the worst time in there.

Hey, Park Seung-jae.

What now?

I was released by the law
that you love so much.

I know your father got you out.

It's my luck to have such a father.

Yes, I know that too.

I also know your father spent millions
to make you a golfer,

and that you won the first trial
thanks to his connections.

Man, getting screwed over like that
made me fixate on something.

What might that be?

I got some meaty intel

about a reservoir
your father's slush fund is buried.

Why you…

Watch your back.

You could get hurt
if you go after the wrong person.

You watch your own back.

I have nothing to lose
because my job isn't my whole life.

I guess I'd get no joy going after
a guy like you, just scraping by.

I plan to find a weakness
instead of going after you.

What are you on about?

Cheon Yeo-ri.

I just said her name.
What's with that look?

Why would you bring her up right now?

Wouldn't you love to know?

Let's get going.

CEO CHEON YEO-RI

Even if we meet by chance,

let's pretend to be strangers.

Yes, ma'am.

I saw your message. Is something wrong?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
called about the venue selection

for the GA21 banquet.

The inspection is in two days, right?

They asked if it could be moved up
to tomorrow instead.

May I confirm with them?

Go ahead. We're fully prepared anyway.

- Will do, ma'am.
- Bye.

PROSECUTOR MA

Who are you?

Do I look like the Grim Reaper to you?

Why are you digging a hole
in the middle of the night?

I wanted to bury it right away.

The clay jar with kimchi I just made.

Why bury it outside
when I have a fridge for that?

Besides, let your g*ons do the hard work.
They look like experts at that.

Watch how you talk.

I made this for you.

I wouldn't let
anyone's grimy hands touch it.

I'm worried you'll hurt your hips.

Let's go inside.

Are you worried I'll get hurt?

Of course I'm worried.

Here you go.

No fridge can store food
as well as a clay jar.

That's true. Plus, your touch works magic.

Right?

Try this too.

- Here.
- Oh, thanks.

You really weren't in Jeju Island?
I swear I saw you.

Why do you keep asking
when I wasn't there?

Remember how

- you told me to beware of water?
- Yeah.

The crazy thing is,
I fell into the sea that day.

There's no need to be so shocked.

I can swim as well as anyone.

Don't you know that even
the best of people make mistakes?

I do know that.

So why did you fall into the water?

Well…

I slipped and lost my footing.

I told you to be careful.

- I will.
- Goodness…

-Anyway,
-Oh, dear.

The Year of the Black Monkey
you keep talking about.

Did you hear that from a fortune-teller?

Why?

Are you seeing someone born in that year?

Why would you say that?
I'm not seeing anyone.

- I'm not.
- You're not, right?

But what's the deal
with that specific year?

There's nothing wrong
with the year itself.

The problem is
that it's incompatible with you.

Remember that.

Okay, fine. Eat up.

- One more thing.
- What?

Don't go anywhere tonight.
Stay out of harm's way.

Okay.

You shouldn't cook so much.
You said your wrists hurt.

- I'll order delivery. It's just as good.
- Enough.

Delivery, my foot. Just eat.

It must be my grandma's energy.

I don't see any ghosts.

Or is it because it's the last day?

Oh, dear.

I plan to find a weakness.

Cheon Yeo-ri.

Why would you bring her up right now?

Wouldn't you love to know?

CEO CHEON YEO-RI

The phone is turned off.
You will be redirected to voicemail…

Grandma?

- That hurts.
- I told you not to go anywhere!

Why won't you listen?

Goodness.

Stay right there.

Jeez.

She's so strong for her age.

Does she know something
or is it just a hunch?

Why did Cheon Yeo-ri
turn off her phone anyway?

I feel nasty
because I only washed my hair earlier.

I'll just take a shower
and go straight to bed, okay?

Don't take too long.

- Why you…
- Go to bed.

Don't you dare go out.

I won't.

Hi.

You're out of your mind.

You're only adding to your charges.

That's for me to take care of.

I heard you ratted me out.

Park Seung-jae.

That's not called ratting out.

It's called reporting a crime.

Whatever you call it, you still did it.

How did you know where Jang Eun-ju was?

You really want to know that badly?

Yes, I do.

Ha-ri's right, isn't she?

You see ghosts, don't you?

F♪♪D M♪

I heard Shaman Baek suppressed it,

but it didn't work, did it?

Whether I see ghosts or not,
how is that worth kidnapping me?

It is worth kidnapping you.

You see,

it was Ha-ri's condition.

She put you up to this?

She said to bring back proof
that you can see ghosts.

But that's not going to cut it.

I need something more

so you taste the monumental fall yourself.

From what I heard,
there will be a big scandal out soon

about a drug party with celebrities
and rich heirs and heiresses.

I'm going to make sure
that your name is on the list.

It'll be a little leverage
to keep you quiet.

You crazy…

Here.

What's this punk doing?

- Are you all right?
- Mr. Ma.

Get up.

Let's go.

Get them, damn it!

- How did you find me?
- Let's get out of here first.

Damn it!

sh*t!

Mr. Ma!

- g*ng-uk.
- Mr. Ma.

- Oh, no.
- Mr. Ma!

Are you okay?

- Call for help!
- Quick, call an ambulance!

- Are you all right?
- Don't touch him.

Careful.

- The ambulance!
- Did you call for one?

Tell them to hurry!

- Wake up! There's blood…
- Don't move him.

Mr. Ma, wake up.

Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma!

Mr. Ma.

He's a traffic accident victim.
Found unconscious, BP is 80 over 40.

O2 saturation went down to 89,
so we put him on oxygen.

Mr. Ma! Hurry!

Mr. Ma!

Please, Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma!

- Mr. Ma.
- Wait outside.

- You can't come in! Stay here!
- Mr. Ma!

- Okay.
- Sir?

Do you hear me?

Sir. What's your name?

- Check for a pulse.
- Okay.

He's in Ventricular tachycardia.
Starting CPR.

- Get a defibrillator.
- Okay.

- What's wrong? Why are they doing that?
- Damn it.

- What are they doing?
- You can't come in.

Take good care of him! Please save him!

Mr. Ma!

Let's change places.

g*ng-uk!

g*ng-uk…

g*ng-uk!

g*ng-uk…

Mr. Ma!

Mr. Ma!

It's my fault.

Because of me…

I could barely get through a week.

How did you manage to endure it
for ten whole years?

I'll try to get through it on my own.

I'm an adult, after all.

Much more so than you were back then.

Here.

Let's stay away from each other
as best we can.

If you're around me,
you might become miserable.

Mr. Ma.

I suspected you as an accomplice,
not knowing about your background.

I'm sorry.

It must've been so hard to live with.

Mr. Ma?

g*ng-uk.

Oh, no…

Because of me,

you turned into a ghost already
and came to see me?

Oh, no…

Oh, gosh…

SPOOKY IN LOVE

Reporters are already
swarming outside Reina.

Should there be any
speculative articles or photos,

we will take strong legal action,
so please step back.

They're birds of a feather.

Are you doing this because
you really want to marry Min-hwan?

Cheon Ha-ri.

Director Ok,
should we acquire another masterpiece?

Yeeon Museum of Art.
The director there is pretty influential.

Reina Hotel's slush fund allegations?

The artworks displayed at the hotel
are supplied by Gallery Cheon, right?

How much do you know about Yeo-ri?

Don't you want to know?

Some rumors started
after the engagement fell through.

Who's there?

A b*stard like him
doesn't deserve to be human.

Who are you? Who the hell are you?

- Let go.
- Damn it.

I'll make you regret this.
