Agent from Above (2026) s01e08 Episode Script

[suspenseful music playing]
[thunder cracking]
Finally, my demonic power has returned.
Once my liver is grown,
nobody will ever again stand in my way.
AGENT FROM ABOVE
TURNING THE WHEEL
[thunder cracks]
Hey.
What's wrong?
Tien-chi said
he placed a demonic liver in me.
It's no longer inside you.
Then why…
I gave you my liver.
[sad music playing]
It was my duty.
I won't die.
Consider it a staff benefit.
[sniffles] The doctor,
he said my cancer's spread.
I only have a few months left to live.
You shouldn't waste energy on me.
I should've died ten years ago.
Each day I live is a bonus.
I've lived my life.
[sad music continues]
I…
Will you win this time?
After I do,
we'll make a wish.
[sobbing]
Demon King has sourced his power.
Take care of Yeh Tzu.
-I must find him now.
-[Chang Mind] I'll come--
What could you do?
How could you fight that thing?
At least I'll feel good shooting him.
You take care of my neighbors
and Yeh Tzu. I'm counting on you.
[sad music continues]
[grunts softly]
DONGFENG MARKE
[thunder cracking]
[scoffs]
[chuckles]
You really are extraordinary.
No liver,
and yet you're still standing.
Once you have my demonic liver,
you'll never again
have to experience pain.
At that time,
I'll no longer be considered human.
If you do not spare the others,
you will not place the liver in me easily.
[action music playing]
[chuckling]
I don't believe you ever planned
on letting me place…
-[music stops]
-…the liver in you.
[action music continues]
[chuckling]
Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier.
This special treasure has returned to me.
Spit it out right away.
-[labored breathing] Fuck you.
-[chuckles]
[action music continues]
[Han Chieh groaning]
[cries]
[choking]
[music becomes meditative]
[Han Chieh] I know I don't have a choice.
But I doubt I'll win.
[Crown Prince] You'll work even harder.
You think I chose you just
because you're young and can fight?
Then why did you?
You can save all these souls.
It all depends if you're willing.
[music continues]
[Han Chieh] After I do, we'll make a wish.
[action music playing]
How many have you hidden?
[Han Chieh cries]
[theme music playing]
I just swallowed one.
There were four inside me.
You can count how many dragons that is.
If I can't win,
at least I'll destroy the liver. [grunts]
[theme music continues]
[music fades]
[thunder cracking]
[suspenseful music playing]
You don't know what you're missing out on.
You'd rather burn yourself to death
than be my agent.
Let me ask you one last time.
Are you ready to come work with me?
Or do you want all the people here
to be buried alongside you?
[ghosts squeal]
Come on. Let's retreat.
[action music playing]
-Fuck!
-[screams] It's me.
[screams] All our golden words
are destroyed. Quickly, they're coming.
-It's going to be fine.
-[screams] They're all over the place.
[music continues]
Hang in there!
[red ghost chuckles]
[all clamoring]
What's she doing?
-She's gone weird.
-What's she doing, huh?
-It's Yeh Tzu.
-Something's wrong.
-[eerie music playing]
-[bird squawks]
[chuckles]
[screams]
[Ms. Lo] Yeh Tzu!
[action music playing]
[A-Fu] Stop her! She's lifting the spell!
Quickly, we need to get the golden powder.
Move, move, move!
[Yeh Tzu yelling]
Go find Mr. Han!
[music crescendos and stops]
[eerie music playing]
Let him go!
So, it was you then, small boy,
who killed my evil spirits.
[gun firing]
[eerie music continues]
Don't kid yourself.
[groaning]
[music turns curious]
[music builds]
[clangs loudly]
[action music playing]
The brat has actually showed up.
[music fades]
Haven't you always said it's beneath you
to possess someone's body?
What changed? Are you panicking?
Demon King,
I have told you many times.
Don't eat in such a rude way.
I have to eat to gain
the strength to kill you!
All these years, I've been planning
how I'm gonna cut off
your legs and your arms.
And then I'm gonna chop you
into tiny little pieces to vent my anger.
-Okay then.
-[eerie music playing]
We'll disregard that nagging heavenly rule
and fight in our true forms.
Not long now.
Soon I'll eat up all the people
in the Human Realm,
and then I'll become
more powerful than you all,
and rule over all Three Realms.
-You won't live that long.
-[action music intensifies]
[action music continues]
[theme music playing]
[Crown Prince tutting]
[Demon King] Damn this.
Wu Tien-chi's body's too weak.
I'd defeat you easily otherwise.
If a human's body is unusable,
then use your true form.
[grunts] If I use my true form,
I'd kill your agent from above.
Could you bear that?
Demon King, you're trying to provoke me
to use my true form because you're losing.
You want to make me violate
the heavenly rule, don't you?
I've committed countless sins already.
But I'm not like you.
If you violate the heavenly rule,
you are in trouble.
You're so badly behaved, there's no way
the higher-ups will spare you.
Hey.
Who do you think
channeled my spirit down here?
-[dramatic music playing]
-Oh.
The higher-ups think I'm rebellious.
That's just for show.
-In private, they really love me.
-[grunts]
You gods are all such hypocrites.
Damn, you're actually playing
good cop, bad cop.
The righteous path is a tougher journey
you see.
The gods, they must destroy demons.
[groaning]
You little brat, even
your agent from above is extraordinary.
In the Human Realm,
there will always be more evil than good.
Cut the crap!
I will defeat you one day,
Third Crown Prince.
You don't fight well,
but you know how to escape all right.
[music fades]
[groan]
Crown Prince, you're merciful.
[groans] Give me a chance.
I'll be a better person.
And sing your praises
in the Human Realm.
[chuckles] You've kept me busy lately.
All the privileges
the Demon King promised you in hell,
they're all gone now.
Finito.
[breathes nervously]
You should know
what fate has in store for you.
Do me a favor.
Jump yourself.
[Tien-chi grunts]
[somber music playing]
[Crown Prince] Hmm.
I can't go to hell.
Please wait. I can't go to hell.
Crown Prince, I beg you.
Please give me another chance.
Give me one more chance, Crown Prince.
I don't… I don't… I don't…
I don't want to go to hell.
You've already had so many chances.
But every time,
you choose the most evil path.
I can't help you.
You chose this yourself.
-[sighs]
-[somber music continues]
Han Chieh is a sinner.
But he spent over ten years
paying for his sins,
and would give his own life
to save others.
And you?
[groans]
[music turns suspenseful]
You're bad.
Humans should deal with their own affairs.
[somber music playing]
[groans]
So what if I wronged you?
If you dare to mete out your own justice,
you do deserve to be punished
down there, huh?
[grunts]
COMMAND
The Black Command Token?
I'm sorry.
He does things according to law.
-[yells]
-[crying]
[Crown Prince] You've already had
so many chances.
You chose this yourself.
[gasps]
[dramatic music playing]
You're Wu Meng-hsueh?
UTTERLY EVIL
-Who are you?
-I am Ox Head.
Ox Head? Then this is…
Quit your questions.
Can't you tell you're in hell?
You'd better behave.
Based on your record,
you will be here for hundreds of years.
[engine revving]
[groaning]
[action music playing]
[screams in the distance]
[music fades]
Han Chieh.
Han?
Han!
I'm dead?
[door opening]
[Crown Prince] Hey, brat.
Take a look at this.
Where are my parents?
[poignant music playing]
Did they reincarnate?
Before you even agreed to be an agent,
they had already moved on,
and reincarnated.
What?
What you saw here were mirages.
I tricked you.
So they didn't suffer
because of me?
You're the one who's suffering.
[poignant music playing]
Han Chieh, we're going to reincarnate now.
When we enter oblivion,
we will forget you,
so we can only
say goodbye to you in this way.
[mother] All of this time we've been
so worried about you,
and afraid that you blamed yourself,
and have not lived well.
[dad] My son, let bygones be bygones.
I want you to know
that even if I don't remember you
in my next life,
you will always be the child that we love.
Forever.
We love you.
[poignant music continues]
[videotape whirring]
[sighs heavily]
[calm music playing]
Your parents may not
have taught you everything,
but that doesn't warrant
punishment in hell.
So that's why I let them reincarnate.
But as you know,
if you want to reincarnate,
there's a price to pay, huh?
That's how it is.
I'll treat the work you've done for me
as a down payment on your first debt.
Congratulations.
The first debt?
How many do I have?
Life and death are predestined.
When it comes to this girl's illness,
even I can't prolong her life.
I can't save her.
Yet you saved me?
I seized an opportunity.
You were fated to die.
You were special,
destined to do good deeds.
[poignant music continues]
However…
I can give her a liver
since she suffers due to the Demon King.
Giving her this can relieve her pain,
but it can't prolong her life.
How long she will live
depends on her own fate.
So if she gets this, she may not live?
Maybe not.
There's a price.
CONTRACT: THIRD CROWN PRINCE'S AGEN
IN THE HUMAN REALM
What's this?
-[intriguing music playing]
-A contract for you to renew.
I told you, you owe me more than one debt.
I, HAN CHIEH, AM WILLING
TO RENEW THE CONTRAC
AND BE THE THIRD CROWN PRINCE'S AGEN
IN THE HUMAN REALM
[theme music playing]
This is part of the contract.
[music intensifies]
I'll sign.
HAN CHIEH
THIRD CROWN PRINCE'S AGEN
IN THE HUMAN REALM
[Crown Prince] Remember.
Use incense and smoke it daily.
And after 49 days,
you'll find the truth.
-Okay?
-[music fades]
And in the meantime,
just enjoy a well-deserved vacation, huh?
Fuck. Why am I so nice?
Crown Prince.
I don't understand.
Why was it me?
There are so many people
who are better than me.
Why do I get a second chance?
[poignant music playing]
FENGYUAN TEMPLE,
MARSHAL OF THE CENTRAL ALTAR
[Crown Prince] Maybe you didn't know,
but I was always by your side.
When you were little, you loved your bike.
I watched you ride around every day.
-[dad] Han Chieh, don't run around.
-[mom] Listen to your father.
The first time you talked back
to your parents was
because you wanted
to adopt a homeless cat.
-It's mine!
-Don't be so angry.
You eventually got your way.
Loser!
The first time you got into a fight
was to protect a bullied classmate.
FENGYUAN TEMPLE
[clamoring in the background]
-[poignant music continues]
-[sobbing]
On the worst day of your life,
I was there too.
[continues sobbing]
I watched you grow up.
So I think I know you well.
When you were led astray
and made mistakes,
you accepted the consequences.
If I didn't give you this chance,
then who would I?
[chuckles softly]
I'm watching you, so work hard.

DONGFENG MARKE
Mr. Han, here's the lighter.
[Chang Min] Mmm.
Do you regret it?
Regret what?
Renewing your contract.
Yeh Tzu.
[sentimental music playing]
I don't.
It was a good deal.
She was happy,
before she died.
[cell phone chimes]
SENDER: LEAFY
SENT TO: HAN CHIEH
[Yeh Tzu] Mr. Han,
I hope you're doing well.
When you're reading this,
I'll already be gone.
It's my last time I'll be sending
a message to anyone,
so please be patient
and read through this to the end.
[sentimental music continues]
After I fell ill,
I realized I should do something,
so my life was not a waste.
I was confused the first time
I went to Dongfeng Market,
and met you, and all the other folk there.
It made me realize
there's a different kind
of existence after you die,
That's why I'm not afraid anymore.
You made a friend? Won't you introduce me?
In the last moments of my life,
I received so much love.
It was the happiest time of my life.
GET WELL SOON!
LEAFY, GET WELL SOON!
LET'S TRAVEL ABROAD AGAIN!
There are many things
that I didn't have the time to do.
But maybe there's still
a chance to do things.
You can fill my spot playing video games
with the old man.
And for heaven's sake,
look after yourself.
[music continues]
Lastly, I have a favor to ask of you.
I hope that
you can love this world for me,
whether it's messy,
and even the gods
can't do anything about it.
I think the ones who might really
change the world for the better
are just ordinary people like us.
My son's amazing.
LATE FATHER CHANG HO-CHENG,
WORSHIPED BY FILIAL SON CHANG MIN
-[old man laughs] You draw now.
-White Dragon? Wow.
Time to eat. Come get some food.
Go. Oh, good job.
Oh, you're good at this.
[sentimental music continues]
[man and woman praying indistinctly]
[Yeh Tzu] Mr. Han.
If I wish for world peace,
can you wish it too?
WORLD PEACE
Make a wish.
MARSHAL OF THE CENTRAL ALTAR
The old man told me
magic can't defeat spiritual power,
spiritual power can't defeat karma,
and karma can't defeat a wish.
So a person with a wish
is strongest of all.
[sentimental music continues]
WORLD PEACE

[footsteps approaching]
[eerie music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
Who are you?
Hi.
You brought a ghost?
Wow, it's true.
You can really see it.
Let me introduce myself.
My name's Li.
-I've come--
-Wait on.
-Your name is Li?
-Yes.
TO SEIZE INHERITANCE
MR. LI HIRED A GHOST TO KILL ELDERS,
WANTS TO AVOID PUNISHMEN
BEAT HIM UP
-[action music playing]
-Wait!
I came on some business.
Shouldn't you check with your boss?
[chuckles]
Woah!
I don't need to ask instructions.
His instructions never change.
[action music continues]
Kill demons.

AGENT FROM ABOVE
[music fades]
[man] Money makes the world go round.
Hell is even darker than the human world.
Some old scores can be settled
while you're alive.
[suspenseful music playing]
But with this Talisman…
after death,
you can change everything
any way you want.
HELL TALISMAN
