Ha-neul-nim
I’ve transferred 10 million won.
With this…
our Heesoo
will really change his heart this time,
won’t he? (11:30)
***
– Of course, Believer. ^^
– Didn’t Kim Taeyoung also receive Heaven’s judgment without fail last time? (11:42)
***
But back then, because of
that crow,
our son suffered so much,
and it breaks my heart. (11:51)
***
– Don’t worry, Believer.
– As I told you before, your son had also been possessed by a demon at the time, hadn’t he?
– He’s already paid for his sins, so there’s no need to worry.
– Since your faith is deep and you’ve prayed so earnestly, I’m certain everything will work out this time. (11:59)
***
Yes, thank you. (12:01)
***
– You’ve worked very hard all this time.
– The demon attached to your son will disappear now as well.
– After everything you’ve gone through, all that’s left is for your son to repay your devotion as a dutiful child. (12:04)
***
We’ve raised
our child with love
all this time,
so it hurts so much.
If it hadn’t been for
Ha-neul-nim,
I might have spent
my whole life misunderstanding
the child I carried and gave birth to. (12:12)
***
– Everything will work out now. ^^ (12:13)
***
Once this is over,
our son
will definitely
donate his liver
to my husband,
right? (12:15)
***
– Of course. ^^ As long as that wicked demon disappears, your son will repent for being unfilial toward his parents and sincerely seek forgiveness.
– He’ll naturally do it. (12:21)
***
Thank you,
Ha-neul-nim. (12:23)

Hyung-nim,
there’s a pretty wealthy guy
hanging around
that Lee Heesoo. (16:49)
***
– Why?
– What kind of guy is he? (16:51)
***
He’s young, but it looks like he’s got a pretty powerful background.
Just what he’s wearing costs about as much as an average house.
From what I’ve seen so far,
he’s got more than ten bodyguards
hovering around him,
so he must be seriously rich. (16:54)
***
– That Kim Taeyoung bastard was the same.
– Why are there so many assholes kissing Lee Heesoo’s ass?
– This is fucking ridiculous. (16:56)
***
To be honest,
if you saw him in person,
you’d kind of understand, hyung-nim. (16:57)
***
– What, is he your type?
– Then again, even those crazy parents of his were decent-looking.
– Finish the job first, then maybe we’ll all take turns having a go at him later. (17:00)
***
Yes, thank you. (17:00)
***
– Don’t mess with the rich guy. Just ignore him. No point causing unnecessary trouble.
– This is your first time too, so let’s take it slow. (17:06)
***
Yes.
I’ll be careful. (17:07)
***
– Are the two of them always together? Or are there openings? (17:09)
***
Lee Heesoo commutes to and from work alone.
That’ll probably be the best time to make our move. (17:11)
***
– Good.
– Let’s be careful. Don’t rush it.
– Approach him naturally at first, just casually mention whether he’s been having any bad luck lately.
– If he seems uncertain and starts buying into it, that’s when you start talking about ghosts.
– If he still isn’t scared enough, hire someone to stage an incident or accident.
– Got it? (17:19)
***
Yes, of course.
I’ve learned a lot
working under Kyunghwan hyung-nim,
so I’ll do my best. (17:21)
***
– Good.
– If Kyunghwan hadn’t suddenly gotten hit by a car, I wouldn’t have dumped this on you out of nowhere.
– Of all times, he had to end up bedridden in a hospital during something this important. (17:24)
***
I’ll work hard and do my best. (17:24)
***
– Good. I’m counting on you.
– Whatever you do, don’t rush. (17:25)
***
Yes.
When are you going to start,
hyung-nim? (17:27)
***
– Tomorrow morning I’m heading to the reservoir.
– I’ll wrap things up around lunchtime, then head back to Seoul so I can reassure all our precious marks. (17:29)
***
Yes, but hyung-nim…
I looked into him,
and Lee Heesoo’s attempted suicide several times before.
What if he just dies? (17:33)
***
– Doesn’t matter.
– If he dies, we’ll just say it was Ha-neul-nim’s will and deliver the body.
– Those people care more about the liver than they do about their son anyway.
– We’ll tell them Heaven saw that he’d committed too many sins while possessed by a demon, so he died.
– Then we’ll spin them a sob story, say we’re comforting their son’s spirit, and squeeze even more money out of them. (17:40)
***
That’s a great idea,
hyung-nim. (17:41)
***
– Once we finish this one, we’ll have crossed the biggest hurdle.
– It’s nice that we’ve expanded the operation after satisfying all our precious marks in one shot, but it makes me nervous, so let’s start disappearing afterward. (17:44)
***
Yes,
hyung-nim. (17:45)
***
– Hang in there just a little longer.
– If Lee Heesoo’s really as weak-minded as he seems, he’ll break pretty quickly. (17:46)
***
But, hyung-nim…
aren’t you a little worried? (17:54)
***
– About what? (17:56)
***
Kim Taeyoung.
We were only trying to scare him a little
by setting a ghost on him like before.
Why did he die? (17:59)
***
– I actually heard something from one of our clients recently.
– Apparently the last guy who killed himself at that reservoir and Kim Taeyoung were both Lee Heesoo’s classmates.
– I don’t really know the details since I’m just imitating what I caught glimpses of someone else doing, but if I had to guess…
– What I do is simply open a path for the ghost in the reservoir.
– So the ghost can find the person I’ve chosen as its target.
– But if it tormented him far more than I intended… maybe those two had some kind of grudge against each other. (18:12)
***
Nothing’s going to happen
to Lee Heesoo,
right? (18:14)
***
– He’s quiet. He doesn’t seem like the type to make enemies.
– There shouldn’t be any other variables, so it’ll be fine.
– Just in case, I’m planning to make it a little weaker than usual. (18:18)
– Why? Are you scared? (18:19)
***
No…
It’s just…
I’ve been having unsettling dreams lately. (18:20)
***
– That’s exactly what being scared is, dumbass.
– Quit talking like a coward.
– We’ve done this plenty of times already. What could possibly happen? Since this is the last one, get your head on straight. (18:24)
***
Yes.
Understood. (18:26)
