THE TRUNK

LATE SO HYE-YEONG

This is a pretty lonely memorial service, isn't it?

I'm sorry for leaving you all alone.

If we ever meet again...

I'll make sure to stay by your side.

I won't leave you by yourself.

Were there a lot of people?

Yes.

Yeah, right.

We're all Hye-yeong had. Who else would come?

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

It's not like you missed it on purpose.

It's fine.

YEONHEE UNIVERSITY GRADUATION GOWN AND CAP RENTALS

Did someone pass away?

A friend.

Do people wear mourning hairpins even when friends pass?

She had no family.

Also, it feels like I killed her.

How about you?

My mom passed.

I also feel like I killed her.

You probably

weren't the reason she died.

HAN JEONG-WON

THE TRUNK

Are you all right?

It's not my blood.

How do you know about this place?

This was your address on the contract.

If Eom Tae-seong was here...

Is this the house of that man?

The one your mother killed.

What's it to you?

I'm just worried.

Don't worry about it. Just leave.

This is none of your concern.

Aren't married couples allowed to be concerned?

You said you're my wife.

You think we have something special?

You're as selfish as ever.

And so childish.

Why must it always be your way?

I just did my duty.

It's part of the job, in the manual.

The only reason I grilled fish and cooked every morning

is so you could experience a sense of normalcy.

So don't overstep.

Does curating the perfect marriage fill you with pride?

Here you are, unable to leave this house.

Does the pride you feel from saving others lessen your guilt?

You're also a part of such a conceited marriage.

So there's no reason for you to be here, worrying about me.

Stop meddling in my affairs.

Eom Tae-seong or not, this has nothing to do with you!

If you understand, leave. This is my space.

You know it's not your space.

It's just a hollow shell

that you're still clinging to.

What are you so afraid of?

Are you afraid that you might actually fall for me?

Just leave.

Go back to your fancy house.

How may I help you?

Anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and painkillers.

Antiseptics and bandages. Give me the strongest ones you've got.

How were you injured?

Let's say I had an accident with a screwdriver.

It'd be better to go to the ER.

This bitch must be fucking joking.

Just give them to me, okay?

Give me the meds!

Mr. Seo Do-ha, you sure have changed.

This is so out of character for you.

You're the one

who made me like this.

Did you think that I wouldn't know what you did five years ago?

You knew I was the one who sent those clips?

Noh In-ji's mom did everything.

I just acted in the public interest and sent her a tip.

Wait.

If I kill you and disappear,

it would all be over.

Show your face here again,

and you die.

Ma'am,

have I done something wrong?

Look. I'm hurt.

Look, lady.

Have I done anything to you?

For fuck's sake.

It won't come out.

Anyway, things don't look great here.

Right, I understand.

Hey, hang up.

Is this Eom Tae-seong's blood?

Good God, so it is.

I finally get to see your face.

I'm Ms. Do-dam. I live next door.

I know In-ji well enough to know she's been brooding here for five years

How long has this been going on?

You took your time showing up.

Why not ask once she's bloody dead? For heaven's sake.

I heard that Eom Tae-seong's been clinging to In-ji and harassing her.

I also heard that he killed someone.

Frustrating.

So frustrating.

Manual, my ass.

Strawberries used to be a luxury for me,

but now I dig in without a second thought.

I mindlessly gorge myself on them.

He told me to have the baby,

but he won't be involved at all.

I thanked him and said he'll never see us again.

That's great to hear.

I've been on the run all my life,

but I finally feel like I've put down roots.

I'm going to have this baby and raise it well.

It's a jungle out there,

and if the baby takes after me, they'll be a handful...

but I want them to be happy.

By the way, you don't look so great.

I had an argument with my husband.

You actually argue?

He said that I was afraid.

Big words from a guy who's never left that house of his.

You can stop looking for him now.

Why's that?

He came back.

Did you meet with him?

Do you feel like running away now that you can finally meet him again?

You are afraid, Ms. Noh.

She waited five years in that house for a guy who might never return.

Do you also think I overstepped?

She has no idea how stubborn she can be or how much danger she's in right now.

She's so full of herself.

She literally moved into my house, so why can't I visit hers?

Why does she cling to that house like her life depends on it?

Why are you getting so worked up? Who are you to her anyway?

Something came up, so I left early. I'm sorry about yesterday. I went too far.

What is it?

What did she say?

She said she's sorry.

That settles that, no?

I'm not mad at her.

I'm worried about her.

We've tightened security in the area. Shall we do the same for your house?

Please install cameras inside the house.

Are you sure that'll be okay?

Yes. Please do it.

I think it's my destiny to perish alongside Ms. In-ji.

If I can't have her...

maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

The bloodstains aren't Seo Do-ha's.

Ms. Do-dam saw him, and he looked fine.

I guess he wasn't the victim.

You should at least see the jerk.

I'll take care of it.

You'll deal with it? As if.

When you first told me about that weird marriage thing,

I figured you were doing what you could to live despite your broken heart.

After my mom and dad got divorced,

my aunts took turns raising me.

I lived like an orphan for five years, walking on eggshells,

and only learned what family was when I met you guys in high school.

Hye-yeong actually was an orphan,

and you cut ties with your mom in college.

Until Hye-yeong died, the three of us would say,

"Who needs marriage when we're already a perfect family?"

She's the bitch for dying.

A disloyal bitch.

My aunt was insufferable until the moment she croaked.

My biggest regret is having stayed by her deathbed

instead of attending Hye-yeong's funeral.

My point is, I'm the only family you've got.

I know the marriage must end once you end things with Seo Do-ha.

It's just work.

Come on!

You think I don't know you?

I can tell if your tears are from sadness or anger

just by looking at your puffy eyes.

You used to be so withdrawn, but with Han Jeong-won, you're like a--

You've fallen for him!

There's nothing for you to worry about.

It'll be over once the contract ends.

Might as well join me if you haven't had dinner yet.

What are you doing here?

Where's Ms. Noh In-ji?

I see she's not here.

Say what you want to say.

I have a question for you.

How did you feel when you first saw Ms. Noh In-ji?

Haven't you ever wondered why it had to be Noh In-ji?

It can't just be a coincidence.

What are you getting at?

I didn't like those slippers.

Take them off.

You're not really wearing those, are you?

Wear these.

Everything became clear to me when I saw Noh In-ji's face at NM.

I couldn't stomach the idea of being with you,

but for the first time, I felt I could find my way back to you.

That was the reason you picked her?

I thought I was the only one broken, but I was wrong.

You're the one who's truly broken.

That's why you should end this fake marriage.

Won't it just break us even further?

I'll be leaving now.

Enjoy your dinner, honey.

You'll find the alimony to your satisfaction.

We broke the contract, after all.

How about a settlement instead?

We could take you to court

for supplying drugs and conducting illegal surveillance.

Why haven't you told him?

He didn't seem to know yet.

Because I don't know how to break it to him yet.

Don't get me wrong. It wasn't out of consideration for you.

I guess you don't want to see him get hurt.

That doesn't make you any less fake.

Aren't you here because you're worried the fake relationship might become real?

You haven't watched soccer in a while. Is now really the time?

If you want to watch it with me, just say so.

Who says I do?

I'm sorry for calling you childish.

What about the "selfish as ever" part?

Let's call it even. You said things too.

Didn't you tell me to go back to my fancy house?

Here we both are in that fancy house.

You hold quite the grudge.

I can recite it word for word.

No one's ever said such things to me.

You were right.

At first, it was out of spite.

Then it was dogged determination.

Towards the end, I couldn't end things alone,

so I kept watch at the house.

At first, the house was a hollow shell,

but later, that's what I became.

Maybe that's why I couldn't leave.

Once this marriage is over...

will you go back to him?

I wonder if that's what you're waiting for.

How about you?

Will you go back to Ms. Lee Seo-yeon?

You two are incompatible.

You both know you're miserable,

but you won't admit it.

I'm going back to him.

This NM marriage with me is what's right for you.

"Right for me"?

We're both mean people.

At least see the contract through.

It's not your fault we're ending things.

I'll explain everything to NM.

That's not my point!

Why do you keep hurting yourself? Why can't you see reason?

Come over here.

Please.

I guess we should meet.

Let's eat.

I'm heading over to that house.

Will it take long?

No.

Get back safe.

I made some soybean paste soup.

It's ready.

Take a seat.

Dig in.

The soup turned out quite salty.

I know you like egg rolls.

We should have some fresh kimchi too.

Aren't you curious

as to how I've been eating?

I should have used less paste. It's saltier since it's homemade.

In-ji.

Please stop doing this.

Everything's gone wrong since I met you.

Your mother wasn't to blame.

You were.

We were happy as we were.

We didn't need to change who I was or gain the approval of others.

Your greed destroyed my life.

Do you still feel like blaming me?

For abandoning you here and leaving?

You're wrong.

I wondered if I was a monster.

On the plane, after cutting ties with all my loved ones,

I couldn't recognize myself anymore.

The question I most wanted to ask you was, "Who am I?"

But you were also the one I most feared.

I couldn't bear to face you.

I wanted to blame you for everything,

but doing so would hurt me too.

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you make it impossible for me to face you?

I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe if I saw you again...

but I actually can.

At times, I felt so sorry that I wanted to kill myself.

At others, I hated you so much that I wanted to kill you.

I would wake up every morning

and pray that my existence would be erased from the world.

Every day was a living hell, but I stayed here alone and persevered.

"Today."

"Today's the day he'll come back to me like nothing ever happened."

One day, two days, a hundred days, a thousand days...

As time went by, I started wishing for something else.

That you'd hurry back and put an end to it.

I couldn't put an end to it by myself,

so I wished that you'd hurry back.

It was like wishing for a merciful death.

But Do-ha...

it's been five years.

How could you take so long to show yourself?

You should've told me something, anything.

You should have at least told me that this marriage was over.

I should have...

told you this five years ago.

And I needed to hear this five years ago.

I'm sorry it took so long,

In-ji.

Thank you...

for holding on and staying alive.

- Kick further. - Further? Okay.

That's it.

Wait, no!

You're supposed to prop me up. That hurts!

He who does the dishes is a good man.

Want me to make tofu stew with spicy peppers?

Soft tofu stew sounds great. Damn delicious!

With makgeolli?

That's it.

Have you ever put yourself in my shoes?

When are you going to grow up?

I felt bad for you the first few times. I even found it endearing.

But now, it's plain annoying. Just admit you're scared!

You...

you're just like your mother.

Where are you?

I'm worried, so please hurry back.

How did it go?

Were you so sad that it made you burst into tears like you did?

No.

When I saw your face, I just...

I don't know. I guess I was glad to see you.

You must be a pervert, sobbing because you're glad to see me.

I was glad to see you

cry like that.

What do you like?

Which side dishes and stuff.

I'm not really picky.

How about music?

Do you like film soundtracks,

by any chance?

Do you want to come see me work?

Sure.

Tell me when would work, and--

Tomorrow works.

Okay.

Kids, let's eat.

Hwan, Gwan. Come on, your mom's tired.

Get your butts over here!

Sit down and eat.

- Hey, that's mine. - No, it's mine.

Stay still or you'll get hurt.

- But it's mine! - Should I start working again?

I just don't think this is the life I'm meant to live.

On top of all the kids' extracurriculars, imagine hiring a nanny for school runs.

We'd be in the red for sure.

- I don't want to! - Hurry up and hand it over.

I know what you want to say. I hate myself too.

- Give it. That's mine! - I said no!

- All done. Off you go. - Let's go!

Let's go!

Are you crying because of what I said about me finding a job?

Time sure flies.

The kids' toenails used to be so soft, but now they're so hard.

Clipping them feels completely different.

They'll be adults in no time.

They'll be slamming doors on us once they hit puberty.

Here come the waterworks.

It's all right, honey. You have me by your side.

Let's enjoy growing old together, honey.

I love you.

Me too.

The body's been decomposing for a while.

They stuck a sign to the shutters saying the owner's studying abroad.

The nutter had the balls to kill someone and then use the printer.

Any security cameras?

We looked at all the footage from the alley,

but the crazy bastard must have taken all the pharmacy's footage.

Her neck's been snapped. It's a clean job.

Not a single drop of blood.

The blood we found must be the culprit's.

Send it to forensics,

and run the DNA results through the database

Yes, sir.

Eom Tae-seong has been tailing Mr. Han Jeong-won.

They've been frequenting the same places lately,

which isn't a good sign.

I've notified the company.

I understand.

Hello?

NOH IN-JI

She actually picked up.

Ms. In-ji?

Let's meet.

I'd love that.

When...

NOH IN-JI: CAFE CAVIAR AT 2 P.M.

I have a question.

I love questions.

Does it make you happy to obsess over me, harass me, and spy on me?

I don't know who else to ask.

I did some thinking while I was in the psych ward.

"Noh In-ji could live a better life. Why does she keep punishing herself?"

"I should let the whole world know about those fucked up marriages."

Once I decided to do that, it was like a cloud had lifted.

I felt thrilled.

Was that happiness?

I also have a question for you.

Your marriage contract's in the trunk, isn't it?

People might not believe me, but they'll believe material proof.

Once the press and social media hear about this story,

it's sure to cause a stir.

Don't you think?

I went over to that house because I thought it was there...

but got stabbed

by Seo Do-ha.

The guy used to be a total loser, but he's changed.

Thanks to him, I ended up killing a random person.

Who did you kill?

Why do you hate me?

Do you really have to ask?

I think we're done here.

I have somewhere to be.

Let's leave that out.

This too.

Sounds good. We can just lower this...

What?

What's gotten into him?

You can clock out in five. I'll wrap up alone today.

That track sounds great.

- What's gotten into him? - Maybe something good happened.

I'm almost at the underground parking lot.

Wait right there. I'll be down shortly.

What are you doing here, Mr. Eom Tae-seong?

I never got to hear your answer.

Why do you hate me?

You've hated me from the beginning, before I'd even done anything.

What I'm asking is,

why would you hate me from the moment you saw me?

It wasn't like that with Han Jeong-won.

Speaking of him,

I wonder if you'd look my way if I killed him too.

Would you?

I would never let that happen.

Then tell me.

How am I so different from Han Jeong-won?

Let go.

Tell me.

Why is it that--

You bastard.

Crazy bastard.

Die.

Die, you son of a bitch!

Die!

Stop it, Mr. Han Jeong-won.

Mr. Han Jeong-won!

You said you went to shooting ranges with your father, but man!

Didn't you say he dragged you there against your will?

You acted like you'd never touch a gun again.

What's gotten into you?

Do you still have that gun in your house?

That thing looked really cool, your father's gun.

You said it's not registered, right?

Have you

ever wanted to kill someone?

Plenty of times.

Sometimes, I feel like killing you.

Is there someone you want to kill?

CONFRONTATION WITH DEPUTY MANAGER NOH IN-JI

Deputy Manager Noh In-ji is here.

Tell her to come in.

PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH CLIENT HAN JEONG-WON

If this is about Eom Tae-seong, we're looking for a solution.

No. I'm here for something else.

Once my marriage with Mr. Han Jeong-won ends,

I will be leaving the company.

Is this

because of Mr. Seo Do-ha?

No.

This concerns my productivity as an employee.

I don't think I'm fit to continue this work.

You couldn't be more wrong.

None of our employees have the results you do, Ms. Noh.

My resignation is also best for the company.

Eom Tae-seong may put the company at risk.

If I stop working here, he might let things settle.

If that's your reason,

we'll do everything we can to stop him.

My mind's already made up.

I appreciate all you've done for me.

Fricking vending machine coffee.

This is the stuff.

Yirgacheffe's always been my favorite.

To think the CEO herself would come see me over Noh In-ji's resignation.

Why do you think she's quitting?

Probably because of Eom Tae-seong.

You should have killed him ages ago.

I was only kidding.

No need to scare me with the silent treatment.

This isn't her first time dealing with Eom Tae-seong.

I figured there was another reason.

It seems things are completely over between her and the owner of the house.

Which leaves us with only one conclusion. It's no longer strictly business for her.

Sure, this business sets people up with their ideal match,

but a marriage still takes some dedication.

In the process, couples may end up loathing each other,

or they may actually develop feelings.

Are you telling me she's doing this over Mr. Han Jeong-won, not Eom Tae-seong?

Want to hear it from someone

who's been married and divorced three times?

Married couples can endure physical hardships.

What they can't endure is a loveless relationship.

Conversely, even a fake couple

might struggle to suppress genuine feelings.

After all, they are married.

Knowing Noh In-ji, why do you think she's doing it?

So she's resigning because she developed actual feelings for a client?

God, that's bitter.

MR. KIM

Yes, Mr. Kim.

The CCTV installers we hired discovered them.

They were installed by experts.

Shall I remove them right away?

Come home right now.

It appears Mr. Han Jeong-won knows what you did.

OPEN DOOR

Can't you just let it slide?

Where is it?

RECENTLY ACCESSED PAST SEVEN DAYS

RECENT CALLS NOH IN-JI

We looked through Eom Tae-seong's gallery

and found countless photos of you.

Why didn't you report him?

I did.

Several times.

But you wouldn't take action unless someone had killed or been killed.

...but got stabbed

by Seo Do-ha.

Thanks to him, I ended up killing a random person.

We found traces of Eom Tae-seong's blood, and his prints were everywhere.

The pharmacist's murder case was closed as we couldn't prosecute Eom Tae-seong,

what with him dying.

But we have a duty to find criminals, even if they did kill a murderer.

We traced Eom Tae-seong's movements

and found he was involved with many people in your circle.

For instance, the break-in at Mr. Seo's home

and the assault on Mr. Han.

And?

I've given some thought

to who might want Eom Tae-seong gone.

Ms. Noh In-ji,

where were you that day?

At the lake.
