THE TRUNK

FIVE MONTHS AGO

What did he…

He said I made him happy.

He's passed.

Ten past three…

Time of death--

No need. I already declared it.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Please get in touch with his guardian.

Pardon, madam,

but where might you be going?

As of ten minutes ago, I'm divorced.

PROCEED TO YOUR NEXT MARRIAGE? YES OR NO

I hope your assignment went well, Ms. Noh.

DIVORCE CONFIRMATION

FIELD WIFE TASK COMPLETION REPORT NOH IN-JI

Deputy Manager Noh, how was your marriage?

Don't you need a vacation?

I'll proceed as usual.

As you wish.

He doesn't exactly match well with you.

It'll be a different type of marriage from your previous ones.

NM MEMBER PROFILE HAN JEONG-WON

I heard that prick Han Jeong-won is making movie music for our company now.

So he's taking a hands-off approach to management?

-More like his hands were taken off. -He was blitzed out of his mind earlier.

He's probably off getting high again.

Right?

I fucking knew it. Wait.

Is that why he got divorced? Drugs?

Hell if I know, you prick.

Come on, tell me what's really going on.

I don't know.

You know something. Spill it.

Keep it down.

The person you have called is currently unavailable…

WIFE

Sleeping pills in the bathroom again?

Why are you stumbling around clubs like some kind of zombie?

Word on the street is you're a pill-popper.

Why don't you sleep at home instead of fucking around in clubs?

I can't sleep at home.

In that huge house of yours?

Try hopping between rooms. You'll fall asleep in one eventually.

That's what's wrong with you rich folk. You don't take anything seriously.

Go see a doctor!

I've been going to one for over 20 years.

In fact, I'm about to go to one for more sleeping pills. Bye.

The person you have called is currently…

WIFE

Please get rid of the lights in the living room. They're unbearable.

They're not lights, it's an art piece. A prized possession of your father's.

That's why I hate it so much.

We can't just hang any random thing up there.

I'm looking for a decent substitute in France, so just wait.

Don't touch it.

Mr. Han Jeong-won?

It's been a while.

I find that people are more relaxed when I stand here like this.

You can always refuse, you know.

Then again,

an emergency arrest warrant would be a bigger headache for you.

Who was it this time?

You know Jay Yoong, right?

Was it Yoong? Wasn't it Young?

Last night at the club, Mr. Jay…

whatever, was arrested on the spot,

and you happened to be there.

Oh my! Thank you.

-Why is it always me? -You check all the boxes.

You're loaded from selling your shares, have plenty of free time,

and you have a history.

History? I was just a child.

I'd hardly call a 17-year-old a child.

People that age know right from wrong, and can choose accordingly.

-Son of a bitch. -What the--

Jeong-won!

-You bastard! -What's going on?

-Stop it! -Let go of me!

-You fucking son of a bitch! -Mr. Han, sir!

-Mr. Han, please! -You motherfucker!

I told you, it was that prick!

Why don't you buy me out?

Just run the label. You own 90%, compared to my tiny 5%.

I like working for you. It's comfy.

I take back calling her a fucking bitch.

I still don't understand why Lee Seo-yeon dumped you like that.

Seems to me you've stepped in shit. A pile of shit called Lee Seo-yeon.

So just go over to her and do whatever it takes to get her back.

Stop tormenting us commoners and go live your happily ever after!

-I can't. -What do you mean you can't?

Nothing's impossible with a bank account like yours.

What would you know?

I'm so grateful you offered to take care of the remodeling.

I kept telling my husband we should sell that run-down building,

but he just can't swallow his pride.

I have to ask, how's life with a younger husband?

He'll never find out you got remarried. You know me, I'm great at keeping secrets.

HAN JEONG-WON

By the way, is Mr. Han all right?

I heard he got caught doing drugs at a club--

I mean, there was a misunderstanding, and he got into a huge fight at the label.

Okay, let's have dinner.

I'll be there by 7:00.

You guys are divorced, right?

I was wondering if you'd remarried without even getting divorced.

I'm just kidding.

Ms. Yoon-a, do you think you can live with an empty husk?

I'm also kidding.

Jeong-won's getting married. That's why we're meeting today.

So don't get any wrong ideas.

He is?

To whom?

Honey!

Han Jeong-won's getting married. He must be out of his mind!

Maybe seeing Lee Seo-yeon get remarried made him lose it.

Have you heard anything? Who could it be?

Maybe he met someone at a club. Is that bastard really on drugs?

Hello.

I take prescription drugs too, you know.

Right.

I'm going now.

Okay.

Your table is over there, ma'am.

It's been a while.

We met at the label just last week.

That's precisely my point.

We're supposed to see each other every day.

The reason we can't

isn't because of our divorce, it's because of my remarriage.

Soon you'll be remarried too.

May I take your order?

What's the chef's special?

It's a multi-course meal.

Mini caprese made with yukhoe and truffle oil,

followed by tomato risotto arancini, stuffed with cream cheese.

Last, a tenderloin steak,

which comes with a side of prosciutto and a minced shrimp pesto sauce.

I'd like a cod steak without tomatoes, please.

One of us here detests tomatoes.

Right, I'll pass that on to the kitchen.

I've had them on me since last week.

I know you like that style.

They're pretty.

Try them on.

Later.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your marriage too.

Why are you doing this to me?

It's only for a year.

Think of it as an arranged marriage.

Seo-yeon.

I can't live without you.

We went to kindergarten together. I gave up studying abroad to be with you.

You know I can't function without you.

-It would break me. -You've never tried living without me.

A contract marriage--

A temporary marriage, seriously?

You already signed the papers.

You said you'd never see me again if I didn't.

I know you're trying to punish me,

but you've gone too far.

Me?

I'm punishing you?

I'm the one being punished.

Being alive in front of you is punishment enough.

If you don't go through with this marriage,

we're over.

We're done here. I'm heading out.

Let's eat together at home.

My husband's here.

I'm leaving now.

Damn it.

The person you have called is currently…

HAN JEONG-WON

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

You really don't have a resident registration card on you?

Seriously?

What's this guy in for?

Trying to steal a car.

Caught him red-handed on my way in.

-And the car owner? -We've been calling but no answer.

Look, mister. Stonewalling me won't solve anything.

Fancy a night behind bars?

Who are…

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

I see.

So his name's Han Jeong-won, is it?

I've reached the owner of the car.

She says she knew all about it. She lost her keys and told him to do it.

She knew he was smashing her car window?

May I take him now?

Well…

Let's go, honey.

The owner saw the boat was gone and hauled it back like that this morning.

Also, a fisherman says he heard a sound like a gunshot at around one o'clock.

He heard a gunshot but didn't report it?

He thought it was a firecracker.

-Any bullet shells? -We've yet to find them.

No security cameras?

The one at the kayak house is the only one in the area,

but someone cut the wires.

So there's no body, just a trunk?

By the way, sir, do you know how much a trunk like this costs?

50,230,000 won. That's 50 million!

It's a limited-edition piece, apparently.

There are only three in the entire country.

Call the store, tell them the serial number,

and find out who bought it.

They keep records of the buyers for items like these.

How do you even know that?

My wallet's Prada. You got a problem with that?

It's a knockoff, right, man?

Sir. A knockoff, sir.

All right. Take it.

Would you like me to thank you?

Or should I commend you for doing your job?

That won't be necessary.

I didn't bring my car because I was arrested on the spot.

I'll be taking a taxi home.

You can find your own way back.

Get in.

Is this my car?

Yes, so get in.

I think you owe me an explanation.

It was Mr. Kim.

You told him you didn't want a lawyer.

I have a question.

Yes?

You get married for a living.

Do you enjoy this line of work?

It depends.

That one, please.

What great taste. I'm sure your bride-to-be will love it.

It's my second marriage. I guess my eye for quality's improved.

-I'll take them. -Sure.

I see your former wife recommended us to you.

Isn't that how it is for all of your clients?

I'm curious,

why does W&L run this kind of business?

Is your wedding business so slow that you're now matchmaking on the side?

How long do you think your current marriage will last?

In the future, as human lifespan increases,

we may end up having to live with one partner

for 100 years.

100 years.

Could you handle that?

We're in the pursuit of creating happy marriages.

Trying to stay ahead of the curve, if you will.

Consider yourself lucky, Mr. Han Jeong-won.

It's pine nut porridge.

I figured you must have skipped dinner.

I've unpacked in the empty room on the second floor.

Let me know if you'd like me to move to a different room.

Do I refer to you as my wife?

Is that how this works?

That's right.

Funny to call you my wife

when everything else is so unofficial.

We offer other types of marriages too.

You specifically chose a discreet one.

It appears I'll need to keep up this arrangement for the time being.

I'm not sure what I can and can't do.

Then why not check the manual?

Get some sleep.

I get it, okay?

Please stop, Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

You're up earlier than I thought.

You don't need to accommodate me.

I usually don't eat at home.

Who said anything about me catering to your tastes?

Take a seat.

Humor me. It's our first day as newlyweds.

I've been told you like fish. Apparently, halibut is rich in collagen.

There's something I like

even more than fish.

But I have a weak stomach,

so I'll save it for later.

The smell's a turnoff today.

Let's hear that again.

You're gonna leave that there?

Is that mine?

Well, it's not mine. Bring it in.

I bet it's just another thing your friend Si-jeong got

instead of actually being paid.

It's not bad.

-Please don't let them die. -That's not up to me, is it?

You never know what life's gonna throw at you.

For all we know, I might die before these guys.

I won't let them starve, though.

And I'll change the water often.

Has the bastard who owns this place ever been in touch?

All he left behind is this empty shell of a house.

Please look after the fish and don't touch anything else.

Did you kill him?

It'd be fine with me if you did.

That would make more sense

than a groom-to-be disappearing for years, never to be heard from again.

You're right.

I killed him.

You crazy bitch. Just get over him.

Get married, have kids, and start living like any other bitch.

Keep the coffee machine stocked.

SI-JEONG

Yeah?

Hey, In-ji. That bastard got out.

-Who? -Who do you think? Eom Tae-seong.

I ran into him while I was out on a delivery.

How'd the bastard get out?

Wasn't he supposed to rot in a mental hospital forever?

Where is he now?

God fucking damn it.

Don't do anything for now. I'll try to find out what happened.

The doors are opening.

I saw the earrings on the back seat.

I know. The police told me.

Thanks for sorting things out with the police.

Should I… buy you a new car?

I hadn't thrown them away. I forgot the case after putting them on.

I told you they were pretty, didn't I?

Man, this is so embarrassing.

How was your first night?

All right, I guess.

That's a relief.

Yeah.

The doors are closing.

It'll be over soon. You're okay when you're with me, remember?

I left my car keys in the office.

I guess this…

is like separation anxiety dogs must feel.

I'll be better.

Come back. We'll start over.

This whole arrangement is ridiculous, you know.

Honey.

I wish…

you would die.

The doors are opening.

The doors are closing.

Hello?

Come on out. Don't just stay in there.

Are you a good cook?

Sometimes.

Don't overthink it.

"Happily ever after, 'til death do us part."

That only applies to us for a year.

This isn't bad.

The fish did all the work.

They were expensive. I used your card.

Is this whole thing

like an expensive live-in housemaid service?

Is sex included?

Or would you be fine with a husband who cheats on you every day?

I love women, you know.

Is that what you want?

Is it not allowed?

We're married, aren't we?

It's allowed.

If we both want it.

It'll be a while then, I guess.

I'm rather shy, you see.

Thanks for the meal, or…

maybe a thanks is unnecessary.

I haven't read the manual yet.

What do you think you're…

I'm sorry if I woke you up. I just really have to watch this match.

Do you like soccer?

No.

Baseball?

I detest chasing after balls.

I knew you wouldn't be a fan of team sports.

Buy a TV for your room. Buy as many as you want.

Does it bother you that much?

I guess your so-called system isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I'm an insomniac on too many pills. How did you miss this?

I saw your file.

I know you can't sleep or do much of anything without drugs.

You're not sleeping anytime soon, so join me.

Hey!

Maybe you'll fall asleep if you watch something boring.

Ms. Noh In-ji.

Honey.

Want a beer?

There's some downstairs.

Wait right here.

It seems what you lack in mental fortitude you make up for in agility.

I'm fine with you living somewhere else.

If you need a place, just say so. I won't tell your company.

All I want

is for the next year to pass by quietly, so--

Mr. Han Jeong-won.

Do you like playing hard to get?

I'm not trying to seduce you.

So you can relax around me.

It's okay to just be yourself,

at least when you're with me.

How do you know the owner of the trunk?

I'm her husband.
