Oh, my goodness. That was close.
I don't know how that flew all the way over there.
I'm sorry. This isn't my job, but they said nobody else could work on the weekend.
People here think security guards are slaves or something…
Well, anyway…
Excuse me.
I haven't seen you before.
What brings you here?
I moved…
What? I can't hear you.
Can you speak louder?
I moved here.
Moved?
I heard somebody was moving into Room 1410. I guess that's you.
Are you living alone?
Yes.
What? I can't hear you.
I'm living alone.
Right.
BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN
GREEN HOME MANAGEMENT OFFICE
Should I just die?
Mister!
Oh, right.
You're always sleeping.
-Do you ever work?
-I'm sorry.
Take the bed out.
Pardon?
Someone made a complaint about the bed.
That bed is why you're not focused on work and dozing off all day.
Well, but then how would I get any rest?
I'm telling you not to rest.
Got that?
Why can't he understand anything?
He's so loud and uncultured.
Oh, hello.
Don't mind him.
He just never learned any manners.
But you know, I used to live in Gangnam.
None of the security guards there had beds in their offices.
Pardon?
I'm just saying.
But what brings you here?
Oh, this. Someone sent me some fish.
But you know, I only eat yellow corvinas.
You can have these.
You really didn't have to.
Thank you so much.
You know the term
"noblesse oblige," right?
-Have a nice day.
-Right. Thank you, ma'am.
I'll enjoy these. Thank you!
F**king hell.
Damn it.
Hey!
Was this you?
No.
Maybe it was the gangster guy.
Did you see who did it?
No.
Do you want one?
No.
Are you a loner?
I thought handsome guys
couldn't be loners.
Maybe you're just an asshole.
Don't die here.
You'll just cause trouble for a lot of people here.
Find somewhere else to die.
What are you doing?
I asked you to come by the office, but I guess you forgot.
You need to fill out a registration document.
I'll go later.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Here.
All right.
Yes, Mom.
I'll go back if I fail this audition.
How many times do I have to tell you?
This is the last one.
Don't take back your word.
I'll get accepted for sure this time.
A sponsorship?
I'm not going to be a prostitute. Okay?
-Hello.
-Right.
I'm so hungry.
I'm doing all this to earn a living, but I might starve to death.
What? Why am I suddenly getting a nosebleed?
-What do you think?
-It sucks.
Are you really going to perform there?
Don't you have any pride?
Hey, my pride's not making me any money.
And they're paying me a lot.
I could sell my soul for that kind of money.
Hey, I have to go to work. Bye.
I guess you just moved here.
Yes, I came just a week ago.
Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm in Room 1510.
It's nice to meet you.
Oh, dear! It's okay, Da-eun.
She's just a neighbor.
Sorry.
I guess I was a little loud.
I might have a lot to be sorry about in the future, though.
It's all right.
How old is your baby?
My little princess is just one year old.
Hello!
Isn't she pretty?
Yes, she is.
Aren't you getting in?
Oh, I… forgot my wallet at home.
I'll wait for you.
No, it's fine. Go ahead.
What's wrong with her?
It's all right. She's a kind person.
She lost her baby last year. They say her stroller rolled into the street when she wasn't looking.
That's so sad.
God sometimes gives us hardships that are hard to overcome.
But failing to overcome them doesn't mean you should be criticized or feared by others for it.
Yes. You're right.
Everything is God's will.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Jung Jae-heon. I live in Room 1506.
Am I being overly friendly?
No, it's just that my hand reeks of cigarettes.
Oh, all right.
I'm Yoon Ji-su.
I guess you play the guitar.
I play the bass.
Oh, right.
What do you do, then?
I'm a Korean language teacher.
I have a Bible because I'm going to church today. Since it's Sunday.
-That's nice.
-Right.
THE HOLY BIBLE
I'm not a missionary or anything.
Right. I get it.
-Bye, then.
-Bye.
Don't come in.
-Your lesson fees.
-I already paid for them.
-Where did you get the money?
-I met a rich guy.
Tell me the truth.
If I tell you would anything change?
Why are you so damn nosy?
I just yanked out the whiskers!
And then I skinned it with my knife.
Look. This is it.
You see this?
Did you catch this snake, too?
What are you talking about?
Oh, what's that?
It's a snake!
What are you doing?
-Hey!
-What? Is that a snake?
-What?
-Sir…
Oh, my gosh!
Hey! Get ready!
Why are you doing this to me?
I didn't do anything!
-Hey, this is dangerous.
-I don't know what it is, but I'm sorry.
I won't report this.
I won't tell anyone about this.
Are you really going to leave?
Don't you remember?
When you were a fourth grader…
What? What is that?
Please don't kill me.
I'm trying.
CONGRATULATIONS!

He does look like a gangster, though.
Do you even pay rent?
Go and ask questions at school.
I got kicked out for setting the school on fire.
It's been a week since I moved here.
I've only eaten ramyeon, so I don't feel well.
But that doesn't matter.
I'm going to kill myself anyway.

This is so hard. I didn't lose any weight.
This is so irritating.

Drinks?
Yes, I enjoy drinking.
All right, call me anytime.

Hyun-su:Your arms. Show me your arms. Show me.
Girl:I told you to open the door! Open it! Open the door! You asshole!
Sang-wook:Blood. That's a lot of blood.
Hyun-su:Did you see a weird woman just now?
Jisu:I shouldn't have played so much. Coming. You must be pretty angry. I'm sure. I'm sorry. I sometimes get really inspired at night, so…
Starving monster:I'm hungry.
Jisu:What?
Starving monster:Open the door!
Jisu:Your face… You okay? Did you hurt yourself? Alright, I'll be quiet! I told you I'm sorry. Please stop okay.
Starving monster: OPEN THE DOOR! I"M HUNGRY!!
Eun-hyuk:I'm going to work now. Don't just eat ramyeon, okay? Eat a proper meal, all right? And if you're not home later, I'm reporting you missing.
Eun-yoo:Just report me as dead. You're smothering me as it is.
UNDER MAINTENANCE
Jisu:This woman was banging on the door really hard. She had blood all over her face. She's definitely hurt, but she was so f**king angry I don't know where she went though. You don't think she jumped, do you?
Sang-wook:She wasn''t hitting it. She was ramming it.
Man:Damn it. I'm late.
People:What's going on?
Hye-in:Where's the security guard?
Jin-ok:My daughter hasn't come home yet. But who lowered the shutters?
Yi Kyung:Excuse me. Do you have cell hservice?
Eun-hyuk: I guess not. What's going on here?
Yi-Kyung:Did you just come down?
Eun-hyuk:Yes.
Yi-kyung:Didn't you see anything strange on the way?
Eun-hyuk:Like what?
Yi-Kyung:Never mind.
Eun-hyuk:I asked what's going on.
Yi-kyung:We're trying to find out. The back doors and the parking lot doors are locked as well.
Eun-hyuk:Are you saying we're ltrapped in here?
Yi-kyung:Yeah I think someone may have locked us in, you know.

Seok-hyeon:These jerks are going to ruin our business. Damn it.
Seon-yeong:Honey…
Hye-in:I took photos as of this as proof.
Yi-kyung:Is it still closed?
Seok-hyeon:What… Wait! What are you doing?
Yi-kyung:Move aside if you're not going to help.
Seok-hyeon:We'll have to pay to get the door fixed! Are you going to pay for it all?
Eun-hyuk:Excuse me.
Seok-hyeon:Who are you ? Hey!
Man:Oh, watch out!
Eun-hyuk:Are you okay, sir? Your hair.

Yi-kyung:Did you just touch something?
Seok-hyeon:Hey, you little…Why don't you... I'm trying to open the doors!
Yi-kyung:Turn it back right now.
Seok-hyeon:Alright! Maybe not. Oh, whatever.The employees will fix the phone tomorrow anyway. That's not the reason why we're locked in here. Is that it? Found the damn switches!

Resident:I guess it's gone, isn't it?
Seung-wan:Let's go slowly.
Seok-hyeon:Hey. I heard you're a firefighter. What's the government doing?
Yi-kyung:I'm sure they'll handle it.
Seok-hyeon:We're paying so much in taxes. They can't even take care of one monster?
Eun-hyuk:No. It's not just one.

Eun-hyuk:I don't know. Maybe the world is finally coming to an end.
