The Vicious (2025) Movie Script
Wait, but
what if they're out of their minds?
Looking at the news
there are stabbings nowadays.
Stop.
I don't like karma.
Still!
We have to have our own house, don't we?
Okay.
I don't think anyone's home.
Should we stick this on and wait a little?
[I'm the winning bidder for this house.]
[please contact. 010-4678-4342.]
What if he ran away?
Stop with the nonsense.
I'm not sure.
But we'll get a warrant and then...
Hello.
Do you live here?
Why is she coming up
through the emergency stairs?
What's your name?
Lee Ah-young.
Hi, Ah-young.
We're here to meet your parents.
Is your mom or dad home right now?
What should we do?
Hi, Ah-young.
I'm your dad's friend.
So you don't need to be scared.
Okay?
Are you back from school?
Are you not back from school?
Shouldn't you have left your number?
Honey, is the owner not picking up?
Parking's a hassle today.
Looks like there's no
space even on the shoulder.
I'm sure there will be space soon.
What if we get a ticket for this?
I'm going to move it early in the morning.
What are you doing?
The cat's food bowl is empty?
You are a handful.
Did you grab the trash from the car?
Can you throw this out for me too?
Ugh, seriously...
Thank you for the interview.
My name is Kang Sang-woo, and
I applied to be a part-time lecturer.
What I think is most important
in English Education is...
Oh, how are you?
Sorry?
Your deposit.
I don't think I'll be able to return
it until a new tenant is found.
Wait, ma'am.
If you don't have the money,
you should borrow it and pay me.
We really need that money
for our move too, you know?
But it's next week!
I've been telling your
husband about this too.
I can't return the deposit
until I find a new tenant.
Are you even listening?
Yes, we are.
Why are young people these days so rude?
When an elder speaks,
you should listen respectfully.
Malicious landlord.
Hearing things like this
really makes me angry.
Actually, the tenants are worse.
Even if the lease is over,
they do not leave my house!
Next up, 'auction heroine.'
You finally won the bid for the apartment?
Wow, congratulations!
Others shouldn't just
sit around feeling jealous.
Start learning about auctions
quickly and get your own place!
Please give me a call for a consultation.
Do you want to keep living like a pauper?
Is it you, honey?
Hello.
Who is it?
Is this Kim Mi-jin's house?
Yes, but who are you?
I'm from Haedong Apartments.
Unit 401 in building 106
401?
Yes.
I heard you were at our house yesterday.
And that you ran into my daughter.
Yes...
How did you know my address?
Since you didn't answer my calls,
I checked the auction
records at the courthouse.
I thought it would be best to
meet and talk as soon as possible.
Okay. Just a moment.
Honey, are you almost here?
Hello.
Hello.
You called me from the number 5899, right?
Yes, that's correct.
You didn't answer the phone.
Right, sorry about that.
I was busy doing some other things.
My husband's going to be back soon.
If it's okay with you, could
you wait for a moment?
Yes, of course.
Just wondering...
When you came yesterday
did my daughter say or do something wrong?
No, nothing like that happened.
It's just that she asked
what a 'warrant' was.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We didn't mean it like that.
No, it's fine.
She has to know it.
That's what I was going to tell her,
but I just told her we're moving out.
You don't need to worry about it.
You're doing your best
and I have to do my best as well.
It was hard to get that apartment, right?
Yes...
It was.
I've worked in real
estate before, so I know.
Still, you did a good job.
So why did you come today?
I came to ask if you
could give us some time
until our family moves.
Oh... okay.
How much time do you need?
With time to spare...
I think six months would be enough...
Six months?
That's a bit of a stretch for us.
We also have to leave soon
since our contract here is over.
What is this?
This is the lease agreement.
Why bring this...?
If you give us a bit of
time until we move out
name your price
and we'll give that to you every month.
You didn't have to bring a contract...
I am
in dire need of time.
We understand your situation
but our situation is also...
Ma'am.
If we leave our house right now.
We won't have a place to stay.
Please give us six months.
Then we'll leave as per our contract.
How much would you like?
Please tell me how much you want.
You can write this down as well.
Um...
Please give us a bit
of time for my daughter.
I'm begging you, ma'am.
We'll be okay, right?
We'll be fine. It's just six months.
Is your mother okay with it?
We're just going to be
there for a few months.
Don't worry too much.
Now I need to get a job as lecturer
we won't have to worry anything.
Hey.
I'm sure you will get it.
And you're going to be a professor someday.
I'll take care of everything
until then, so don't worry.
Thank you.
Finally we have our own house!
We do.
Should we do something fun to celebrate?
What?
Let's do a role-play.
As a landlord and tenant.
You didn't have to be so loud!
I was quiet!
Or was I not?
Or was I not?
What is our next plan?
Maybe we can buy...
Hello, tenants.
- Ma'am.
- I think this room is fine.
Wait, ma'am.
Oh my, look at how dirty
this ceiling has gotten!
What the hell did you do?
You have to fix this
- for me to return your deposit, don't you think?
- What?
This was always like this!
- What?
- Just calm down.
How can I calm down?
She's just an elderly person...
You people are so careless!
That's just how she is.
Still, we can't keep
letting her do like that.
What is this?
Lease contract?
- No...
- I didn't think you were those kinds of people!
- The thing is...
- I think you've misunderstood.
You're trying to scam me with my own house?
No, ma'am! What are you talking about?
Look at the address!
We won an apartment through an auction
and this contract is with the owner there!
Why didn't you say anything?
Why would we need to tell you that?
It's none of your business.
That's true.
But you
are sure about this, right?
The number you have dialed is unallocated.
Please check agian.
Are you sure this is the
number that called you?
Yes, it was definitely that number.
Excuse me.
We're the next owners of this house!
Excuse us.
Is nobody home?
Please!
Are you not home?
Excuse me!
Is nobody home?
What do we do?
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Is anyone there?
We know you're in there!
Open the door!
We're just on our way
out of the police station.
Mom, please stop!
How is this Mi-jin's fault?
It's that fraud's fault!
And I also have my own
mistakes for not taking better care.
Don't worry so much.
Let's just call it a day and go home.
There's probably a
reason why they did this.
What are you doing?
What?
Why are you looking at the cat's food bowl?
- Am I...?
- Get a hold of yourself!
We're in a worse situation
than the cat right now.
If we can't find that house, we're
going to end up on the street.
And we have no one to
take care of us like the cat!
I'm trying to
going into that damn apartment
and live like a human!
You are just
always sitting at your desk
reading useless books, living uselessly...
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to say something hurtful...
Fellow subscriber.
If you make a separate
agreement with the previous landlord
the person will gain authority
and no one can drive him out!
If that's the case...
What do we do now?
The only option is to find that
person and tear up the contract.
The tactic is to tire you out
and make you give up.
In the end, you lose both money and home.
I guess you don't have a premium
membership to my channel.
I told all the premium
membership subscribers about this.
If only you had paid more
for the premium membership
you wouldn't be going through this...
Hi, Ah-young.
Hello.
We saw each other a few days ago, right?
Are you on your way home?
By yourself at this dark hour?
Should I drop you off?
I was on my way home too.
It's okay.
I'll drop you off.
Get in.
Ah-young.
You've never lived in a
neighborhood like this, have you?
So, you might not be able to understand me.
But you know...
I gave up everything just
to have my own house.
Where's your dad?
I can't get off here until
you tell me where dad is.
Where are you looking?
Look at me!
I'll ask you just one last time.
Will you tell me where dad is?
No, I won't.
Damn it!
It's my freaking house!
I'm sorry, Ah-young.
My daddy is at home.
Really?
Mr.!
I'm here to talk about contract.
Come out, please!
Can you wait here?
Why?
I told you I have something
to talk about with dad, right?
Wait here.
Don't come out.
Mr.?
Help me...
What is going on?
Please find the medicine in the wardrobe...
Just a moment!
Here?
Is this what you were asking?
Sir...
Sir...
No!
Please...
Excuse me.
He had a heart attack.
Heart attack?
Come this way, please.
Can you walk?
Come this way.
Are you okay?
They say he's fine now
so let's go and talk about the house later.
We saved his life
so if he's human
he'll probably nullify the contract.
If he's human?
Sure.
If he's human.
Mi-jin.
Thank you.
