THE TRUNK

The person you are calling is currently unavailable. Please leave...

At least come up with a reasonable excuse before you go!

Otherwise, it's all over.

Move aside.

I don't have time to talk to a nobody like you.

Just say something.

Whether it's an excuse or a confession.

Is that what she told you?

That I had cameras installed?

She's right. I did.

Am I not allowed to watch you go about your day?

I would've gone crazy otherwise.

I had to see for myself that you still longed for me,

even with her by your side.

That was the only way I could think of taking you back.

Are you telling me you did this

so you could come back to me?

As I was entering the operating room...

you begged them to save the baby over me.

How could you do that?

How could Han Jeong-won do that to me?

I saw you step into the road that day.

I was angry and blamed you for what happened.

I pitied

our baby.

I was trying to die with it.

After I got pregnant, every day was a living hell.

It felt like I'd become the most useless person on earth.

I was withering away, dreading having to give birth,

but you!

You seemed thrilled, like the baby breathed new life into you.

Do you know how it feels

to be reduced to nothing more

than wrapping paper?

You should have told me!

You should have told me you weren't ready.

And have to bear your disappointed face?

Apparently, mothers put their babies' safety first.

I was disgusted with myself too.

But I can't change my lack of maternal instincts.

I'm to blame for not realizing sooner how much pain you were in.

I was the fool, the idiot, and the son of a bitch.

That's how I found closure.

I thought we could move past all this if we just got together again.

But how could you

do exactly what my father did to me?

I was scared. What else could I do?

I had no other way to hold on to you.

Jeong-won.

We're accomplices, remember?

I killed the baby,

and you killed your mother.

If that makes us sinners, we can atone together.

You and I, together.

You're insane.

I'll atone for my sins.

But I won't be doing so by your side.

Should we go on a trip?

Why didn't you tell me about the hidden camera?

I didn't know how.

I should have handled it before you found out.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

That sounds like an excuse.

I bet you just turned a blind eye to avoid problems in this marriage.

I didn't turn a blind eye.

I grabbed Ms. Lee Seo-yeon by the hair and even beat her up a little.

You hit Lee Seo-yeon?

Almost killed her.

Those blue pills taped to that LP...

I found out what they were.

And before I knew it, I was furious.

If I'd put my mind to it, I could have broken a rib or two.

Didn't I mention that I learned jujitsu?

I wish I'd been there to see it.

Whose side would you have taken?

You actually hit Lee Seo-yeon?

You seriously pulled out her hair?

It's a family.

Let's get groceries together sometime.

We'll grab beer and ingredients for a few side dishes.

We'll push the cart together,

and say things like,

"That's too much." "That milk tastes better."

What's your favorite dish?

I'd like to cook it for you.

How long will you live in that house?

If I were you...

Let's get going.

What was that? "If I were you," what?

That's an odd habit, bailing before the punchline.

What is it?

Tell me.

Your hands are cold. Just hold on.

I recognized you from the start.

I'm Mr. Han Jeong-won's wife.

All right, look this way, please.

One, two...

At the columbarium, and then the graduation ceremony...

It was a pretty rough day,

but it felt like you were the one person in the universe who could understand me.

Had I gotten to know you back then...

I wonder how things might have been if we'd met sooner.

It's possible that our relationship might not have lasted long.

But...

I think I'd have recognized you even if I'd passed you by a hundred times.

I really like you.

I want to be with you all the time.

Let's get divorced.

I brought you here to end things.

Did I do something wrong?

Tell me what the issue is.

This marriage is a failed marriage.

It's my fault. I crossed the line.

I no longer have a reason to keep doing this, so

I intend to stop.

Let's stop with the lies.

Acting like you're cold and bulletproof, and that damn manual of yours.

Deep down, haven't you longed for something to hold on to?

Isn't that why you clung to these marriages?

So you could live?

Just admit that you and I are both fragile, broken wrecks.

Stop talking about goddamn lines...

and just admit the truth.

Admit that you've fallen for me too.

I may have said I crossed a line,

but don't take that to mean you're someone special to me.

This marriage is over, Mr. Han Jeong-won.

I wonder how things might have been if we'd met sooner.

Had I gotten to know you back then...

I think I'd have recognized you even if I'd passed you by a hundred times.

Come to think of it, you have a knack for making those around you miserable.

I wonder if you'd look my way if I killed Han Jeong-won too.

Why haven't you told him?

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.

Are you really giving me this? Why are you quitting?

Thank you for always opening early for me.

Feel free to come back whenever. Maybe when it gets warmer.

No.

I probably won't be back.

Are you in there? Ms. Noh In-ji.

Ms. Noh In-ji!

What a ruckus.

Her latest dispatch?

Hold this.

Come on in.

You can keep your shoes on.

Thank you.

You look decent.

You don't know who I am, so why would you...

You must have come all the way here because you miss her.

Where is Ms. In-ji?

You should know, not me.

Aren't you guys married?

I'm sure she's somewhere worrying about you too.

Find her yourself now that things are over with the guy who owns this place.

Thanks for the drink.

How adorable.

- Could we pick up the pace a bit? - Of course.

- Please get rid of the chandelier quickly. - Yes, of course.

- Thank you for your work. - I'll get that done now.

She said she's quitting and even gave me her paddles.

Could you please call me if she ever comes back?

Sure.

NM LEE SEON

Hello?

This is Lee Seon.

I'm sorry your contract was unexpectedly cut short.

We're willing to pay a penalty for the breach at your request.

No, I have no intention of doing that.

Please just make sure Ms. Noh In-ji comes to no harm.

Okay. I'll make sure of that.

I still had things to say to her.

There's so much I don't know. If there's any way to contact her...

please tell me.

Now that the contract is terminated,

I'm afraid I can't give you any more information.

I'm sorry.

He won't be seeking any damages for breach of contract,

which is a relief.

Please protect Mr. Han Jeong-won.

Even if it goes against what's best for NM.

You two sure are strange.

The contract expired, yet you still try to protect each other.

I'll be off now.

Around two years into my marriage,

I almost killed my husband.

Marriages are purer when they're a business transaction.

Do you love Mr. Han Jeong-won?

Are you scared?

So much so that you have to end things so abruptly?

Seeing you here really makes it feel like we're coworkers.

Want to join me for a small farewell party for us failed exes?

I happened to like my marriage.

Thanks to you, it's become a blemish on my career.

Even the CEO wants to see me.

Hello?

Finally. Why did you have your phone turned off?

This thing's harder to open than I thought.

It has a double lock, so I need two sets of combinations.

It must be quite pricey,

this trunk.

I got my hands on it,

but I can't seem to open it.

Mr. Eom Tae-seong.

Did you take my trunk?

I guess I did.

But what to do?

Should I expose the contract in this trunk to the world...

or kill Han Jeong-won first?

Option one or two. Take your pick.

My contract's over.

I have nothing to do with him now.

Why?

Was it because of me?

I think I'll kill Han Jeong-won first.

I told you that the contract's over.

It's not over yet. This never happened in any of your other marriages.

I've seen all your marriages, dutiful yet without love.

Things were going well. You kept things professional!

That's why I'm pissed off at Han Jeong-won and that fucked up company of yours!

It seems that company's trying to get me committed again,

or maybe they'll just kill me this time.

Now it's come to this.

Don't you think I need a little insurance for myself?

Let's meet. I'll tell you the lock combinations.

Where should we meet this time?

Seo-yeon.

Lee Seo-yeon!

Gastric lavage. Run a blood test, and call the police.

Wake up, Lee Seo-yeon.

Wake up, Lee Seo-yeon! Seo-yeon, please.

So it's come to this.

Are you happy now?

She's always been a ticking time bomb.

She wants to go home with you.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

If I take her with me,

she could OD and end up back here to prove a point to you.

Would you be okay with that?

I know you won't listen if I try to stop you...

so go ahead and see it through to the end.

I'm sorry.

Don't call me. I'm going to be busy today.

I thought I'd be comfortable here.

You can use the first-floor bedroom.

Acting like a child will only wear you down.

We're even, remember?

I let you back into this house so you could have some time.

Time to face reality.

I wondered why I couldn't leave you,

but I've come to realize it's because I pitied you.

Seo-yeon,

we can never go back to the way things were.

Neither of us.

Are you really going? What will you do all by yourself?

I'll head over right now. Tell me where you are.

Si-jeong, I think I was the one who did everything wrong.

What do you mean?

I was always to blame.

For what happened to Hye-yeong, Do-ha,

and Han Jeong-won.

Why would you be to blame?

Hey, In-ji?

Are you there? In-ji!

NOH IN-JI

The person you have called is currently unavailable. Please leave...

NOH IN-JI

HAN JEONG-WON

You really came here alone. How fearless of you.

Should I be fearful?

No, not you, Ms. In-ji.

- I'll tell you the code. - Wait.

What's the rush? We just got here.

The marriage contract and manual are both in here, right?

All the evidence.

Why that look on your face?

Afraid you'll end up like Seo Do-ha once I open this?

Are you scared that people might point fingers at you?

You seem to be taking pleasure in my misfortune, Mr. Eom Tae-seong.

Making you miserable publicly would be ideal.

That way, I'll be all you have left.

You saw for yourself back then what it's like.

And what do you get out of this?

Do you want to stay by my side and share my misery?

We can still turn this around.

Go live your life.

If you do that, I'll forget any of this ever happened.

The thing is...

I wouldn't be miserable.

What has your misery got to do with me?

I'd just be by your side forever.

That would be me living my life.

I killed this pharmacist recently...

I told you I killed someone, right?

It's easier than you'd think.

The cops still have no idea it was me.

I'm kayaking in the moonlight with Ms. In-ji. Care to join?

Crazy bastard.

NOH IN-JI

The person you have called is currently unavailable.

What's wrong?

Where did you get this from?

Where do you think? Han Jeong-won's house.

The dressing room.

What is it?

The lock must have jammed because you tried to force it open.

No way.

You've got to be fucking kidding me!

I can fix this if I take it to a store. Come with me tomorrow.

Do you think I'm a fucking idiot?

What do you expect me to do?

You should've come to me from the start.

You should've come to me instead of doing something so stupid!

God-fucking-damn it!

For fuck's sake.

Will you stop all this nonsense if I disappear?

Mr. Eom Tae-seong.

Let's just die together.

Isn't that a tempting offer?

Well, fuck me.

Your jokes have gotten a lot better. You almost had me with that one.

But we can't die today.

Option two comes first.

"Option two"?

Ms. In-ji!

If I kill someone, they'll just send me back to the hospital.

Ms. In-ji!

Why the hell are you doing this? Why?

Just because.

I'm doing this because I can.

Ms. In-ji!

Ms. In-ji.

- Are you okay? - Don't come closer, Mr. Han.

Die!

It's over. You can stop now.

I shot him.

I swear I shot him.

It's okay. What matters is that you're safe.

You're okay.

I thought they were live rounds.

I was worried I might use them myself.

Maybe I should have.

I should've just killed him.

Why would you do that?

This is my problem.

Don't go assuming that I did this for you.

That wasn't the case.

I can keep us both safe.

That's good.

Then go ahead and keep yourself safe.

I'll do the same for myself now.

Ms. In-ji...

I just want this all to stop.

I've...

grown tired of it all.

So you fired blanks in self-defense?

Even if it were in self-defense,

you know you'll still be punished for possessing an illegal weapon, right?

Yes.

Who do you think killed Eom Tae-seong?

Damn it.

I keep thinking

that you're the perfect person for the job, Ji-o.

Do you think you could take care of Eom Tae-seong?

I'll admit it. You were right.

This marriage is what suits me.

I'm saying you won.

This shouldn't be like this.

You...

Where were you before you got here?

I just...

killed someone.

I used to be a keeper for NM.

I was there when Eom Tae-seong killed my colleague...

but I fled.

It's bothered me ever since.

But that wasn't the only reason.

I quite liked this marriage.

I'll move out as soon as I'm packed.

Why did Eom Tae-seong have your trunk, Ms. Lee Seo-yeon?

Who knows?

I never used that trunk because it was hard to open.

So you left it at Mr. Han Jeong-won's house?

I guess I must have.

He was killed by a single stab from a very long, sharp weapon.

What might fit such a description?

If it were at a construction site, it could have been a sharp rebar stake.

No.

It was a sharp, smooth weapon.

Aren't those fairly common?

I don't get why you're asking me such a thing.

If there are no further questions, can I go home?

I'm rather tired.

We've already gone over the contents.

You should also check that nothing's missing.

It would put us in a tight spot

if you later were to claim something was missing.

The realtor says

it's a buyer's market, so they had to lower the price.

Please take good care of them. I'm sure you've grown attached.

And try to cut back on the coffee.

Mind your own business and just worry about yourself.

What's wrong?

All that's left for you is to live happily with him.

Am I wrong?

I wish you the best of luck with your next field wife.

I knew you knew all along.

You sure are something.

You're just the worst.

I should have told you about it sooner instead of letting it weigh on me.

I'll be going now.

"This too shall pass," you know.

Marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I've been divorced three times. I should know.

Is that all of your stuff?

A trunk is all you need for a marriage.

I wonder why it never crossed my mind to leave this place.

Was I afraid?

Probably just lazy.

Only the diligent bother moving.

You need to fight landlords,

buy new fridges and dining tables,

and even find the perfect curtains.

I'm not the lazy one here.

If I were you, I'd have moved out of that house a very long time ago.

Unlikely.

Are you really going to tear this place down?

Why?

My delicate upbringing prevents me from standing up to landlords.

I'll grow lazy and want to crawl back here.

I need to remove the problem at its roots so I can never return.

You'll be demolishing it anyway.

Join me.

What were you going to say

after "If I were you"?

Was this it? Me never returning to this house?

Are you doing all this

because of what I said?

Isn't this what you meant?

I was thinking...

I would have rented it out...

this place.

I meant that I would travel abroad with the rent money I'd earn.

I didn't think you'd do something like this.

Rent out the place. Right.

If we ever meet again...

would you stay with me?

Who knows? We might be destined to be together.

Maybe not for our entire lives, but for around 30 years, perhaps.

What if we run into each other a second time?

There's no helping it if it happens twice.

So the second time.

The second time it is.

Thank you for everything, Mr. Han Jeong-won.

I wanted to tell you that, no matter what.

DEAD BODY DISCOVERED AT LAKE MURDER SUSPECT TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

Hello, Attorney Choi.

I have a case for you.

Ms. Yoon-a called me here to check out the remodeling.

You don't need to explain.

I know, but I find myself explaining.

I'm re-signing my contract with Ji-o. I'll also hire him the best lawyer I can.

Seo-yeon.

I once thought that you were not letting me go,

but in reality...

I wasn't letting you go.

I owed you a proper explanation as to why we couldn't work.

I'm just a bad person.

That's how I've found my closure.

Believing it hurts my pride less.

Momo. Hey, Momo?

Sleepy, are we?

Hey there, Cookie.

I'm so lonely.

ITERATION

DIRECTED BY NOH SU-HWAN SCREENPLAY BY YANG JEONG-WON

MUSIC BY HAN JEONG-WON

What is it?

The movie released after a ten-month delay,

but the reviews are lukewarm.

Then again, who goes to the cinema to watch horror B-movies nowadays?

I know you're not fishing, so stop moping and come to the office.

I said I'm not at a fishing spot.

Just hurry back. I think my wife's going to divorce me.

It's not that bad.

- What did you say this was? - A file for divorce.

These days, I fill one out daily.

Why?

It's the only place I can be alone without you and the kids.

"The only place"?

You hog our bathroom because you're constipated.

I have no place of my own.

But you've got a name and title. Director Oh Hyeon-cheol.

You even have your own office, while I'm just a mother and wife.

You know I'm the only one of my friends who's married, right?

They're all living it up as they please,

but I've achieved nothing.

I understand that one of us needs to take care of the kids.

I get that, but...

I don't think it makes me very happy.

Go see a dermatologist.

Get a laser facial. I'll give you my personal card.

Why can't we ever have a serious conversation?

Can't we at least do that?

3,000 won? Seriously?

I can give you more.

No, it's fine. That will do.

You're an odd one, turning down a better offer.

Did you use it to store a corpse?

Just kidding, of course.

- Have a nice day. - Thanks, you too.

This really is a beauty.

I wonder what I should use it for.

It's got such a lovely design.

AMERICANO - 3,000 WON

Enjoy.

Thank you.

I was visiting a vet here.

My cat's claw fell out.

I have cats now, by the way.

Right.

Have you been well?

It was scary, by the way.

I saw the movie.

Did you see the end credits?

That's why I went.

This is the first one.

Our first chance encounter.

One more to go.

Yes.
