THE TRUNK

[man] This is your first time, huh?

FIVE YEARS AGO

You must be pretty desperate to do this.

Sorry, I'm just curious.

I mean, isn't marriage supposed to be romantic? [chuckles]

It is overrated.

Still, there should be some attraction, you know?

First, you do a little mating dance, then you get together.

End of the day, being married creates inertia.

And that's just all a wedding does.

Don't you think?

I always fucking hated that sense of inertia.

Why is it such a big deal to put two peoples' names on a document?

All it is is a reminder that neither person can trust their partner.

Truth is, both of you know it's not going to last.

It's just a trap. An easy way to tie each other down.

And romance?

A contract isn't romantic, is it?

Do we need to certify romance at all?

Who cares? It's all bullshit, right?

So marriage is problematic for you?

[In-ji] Well, no.

Personally, I just…

I loathe it.

This wasn't a good idea.

I'm gonna go.

Listen, I'm dying. I have six months left. Maybe four.

Obviously, you would be my first and last wife.

If I said, "Let's get married…"

you think you'd do it?

[intriguing music playing]

THE TRUNK

[Seo-yeon] You know who I am, right?

Yeah, I do.

And how do you know who I am?

Who cares, really?

I knew someone who took their own life in school,

and I heard it might've been your fault.

What I heard is they committed suicide to get away from you.

I must've been quite a bitch then, huh?

That's how I know you, not that I really think of you like that.

Why do you say that?

I guess it's hard to know what would drive anyone to

decide to take their own life like that.

But in most cases, any excuse will do.

Still, that doesn't mean

you're not a conniving, dishonest, and self-interested shrew.

I do recall things

in those days, In-ji.

But the reason I remember you…

Well, I'll tell you a bit later. How's that?

Don't get out. I have to get going.

You stopped by our house?

[scoffs]

"Our house"?

It's weird hearing you say "our house."

You know, I met your wife too.

Yeah?

What did you think?

She just…

I mean, she really looks like a wife.

You guys didn't know each other, did you?

Oh…

You'll never believe this, but she actually went to our school.

Hang in there, even if the going gets tough with her.

I still just wish I could trust you.

[car door opens and closes]

[car engine starts]

She came because of the lights.

Well, I gave her… a cup of tea. We talked a little, and she left.

I wasn't asking.

If it were me, I bet I'd wanna ask.

[Jeong-won] I can go with you to the hospital.

That hospital visit's next week. I have to run errands.

[pensive music playing]

[frustrated sigh]

[tires squeal]

[connect tone]

[phone line ringing]

[phone line clicks]

Are you still doing it?

You're an expert. Help me out here.

[pensive music continues]

[music fades]

Well, does he hit you?

Can you please just talk?

Another bitch from South Korea.

Hey, come on. Just ask me how I'm doing.

I wanna know about you, honestly.

Pleasure to see you, Yoo In-yeong. How are you?

I'm pregnant, actually.

Maybe it's 'cause mine is dead, but I really do wanna have a family.

You have family, Ms. Noh?

Your husband… Does he know?

Well, I hope not.

A family makes your life a lot harder, just so you know.

So why are you doing this?

Why look for him?

Wasn't it enough to find out that he's still alive and well?

Don't get me wrong. I like the money.

Do you wanna marry him again or something?

Or kill him and move on? That makes sense.

[pensive music playing]

Where is he right now?

Prague, up until he moved to Hungary.

My contact said that was two weeks ago.

He's in Budapest.

Stay in touch. Send updates, okay?

[In-yeong] I have dreams where I find my siblings' bodies.

Some nights, I can… I can kind of make out their faces,

but other times… they're so bloody, I can't tell them apart.

The dreams make me feel better.

'Cause it's the not knowing that drives people crazy.

So what do you dream about, Ms. Noh?

I don't dream anymore.

[pensive music continues]

[music fades]

[electronic rock music playing]

[rock music playing in headphones]

[phone buzzing]

[Seo-yeon] Well, it looks like you forgot…

[music stops]

…what day it is today.

[ethereal pensive music playing]

[footsteps pattering]

[Seo-yeon gasps]

[groans]

[sobs]

[ethereal pensive music continues]

Son of a bitch. [chuckles]

[ethereal pensive music continues]

[phone camera clicks]

[phone buzzing]

HAN JEONG-WON

Mm-hmm. Yeah, turns out I have it.

I found it while I was cleaning up.

Yes, I know. You cherish it.

Let's meet. I'll hand it over.

[music fades]

[melancholy piano music playing]

[melancholy piano music continues]

[melancholy piano music continues]

[scissor cut echoes]

[scissor cutting echoes]

There's no pain,

in case that's why you are so upset.

[elevator motor whirring]

[uneasy music playing]

[automated voice] Going down.

[elevator door closes]

[elevator motor whirring]

[breathing anxiously]

[man] Sorry. Excuse me.

[breathing anxiously]

[automated voice] Going down.

[gentle piano music playing]

Try to just clear your mind. Focus on the numbers.

They're just numbers.

[breathing heavily]

[gulps]

[Jeong-won breathing anxiously]

[gentle piano music continues]

[electronic bell dings]

[woman] Would you like to schedule Mrs. Noh an appointment

with a plastic surgeon?

-Oh, sure. -[woman] Great.

Can you tell me when she might be available?

-[phone buzzing] -Sorry. Just one minute.

-[electronic bell dings] -[phone buzzing]

WIFE

Sorry, I'm busy right now. I'll call you later, okay?

[woman] Will you be needing any insurance paperwork?

-[Jeong-won] No, that's all right. -Okay. I can take your payment right here.

Appreciate it.

I'll get your meds, okay? I'll be back soon.

[music fades]

I've seen plenty of injuries and stuff,

but I don't think I've ever seen healing up close.

Why do I feel…

I won't be able to get this image of that cut out of my head

until you're healed?

Obviously, you're stoic.

Could you at least try to cry?

I think I'd be more at ease with everything.

[In-ji] What are you doing Tuesday?

Pretty sure I'm open. We could have a quick wedding.

[electronic music playing]

[electronic music continues]

NO RECENT MISSED CALLS

[Jeong-won] Sorry, I'm busy right now. I'll call you later, okay?

[music fades]

[Yoon-a] Ugh, what is all this? You guys were stuffing your faces.

[boy 1] I ate too much.

Guys, we talked about this. You're not to eat snacks at night.

All right. Brush your teeth.

-No horsing around. -Got ya!

-Hey, stop messing around! -Hey!

[moans] Uh, my mom texted me yesterday.

About those rice cakes…

[Yoon-a] Why the… hell did I get married?

Well, because I was…

[yawns]

…basically the best in our W&L class?

I was always the normal one, but now I have the most screwed-up life.

I don't get it.

You need cash, Yoon-a?

Keep it under two million won.

Jeong-won's new wife. What's her name?

-Why? -I'd like to be her friend.

-What? -I've got nothing else.

I don't have a career. My husband's not exactly rich.

There's no way I'm inheriting anything.

I'm living with a business owner who barely makes ends meet.

All I have is my friends!

[pensive music playing]

[In-ji] It's standard procedure. From the manual.

[sighs]

[music plays in headphones, stops]

[pensive music continues]

[sighs]

The manual.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Dude, uh, Yoon-a said…

[Jeong-won] You need a new car, right?

I'll get you one, but I need your help tomorrow.

What for? Oh my God. Are you in trouble?

I need a witness

'cause In-ji and I are getting married.

I thought you guys weren't gonna have a wedding. Wait, I'm the witness?

Three o'clock. They'll send a formal invite.

Who? Uh…

[light jazz music playing]

How's your wife's injury doing?

Doing really well. They removed her stitches.

The doctor said it's healing fast.

Although to be honest, she might be stifling the pain.

And you took her to the doctor?

Well, yeah. You didn't know that?

It was all my fault.

It's nice that…

[chuckles] …the two of you are getting along so well.

OH SE-EUN OUR LOVER/THE ORPHAN/YOU

Just a little keepsake to commemorate our worst moment.

How's it make you feel now?

[scoffs]

[pensive music playing]

You're being cruel.

How could you?

I don't want you to take them. Got it?

Just fight the urge.

I'll do whatever you say.

Our wedding is tomorrow.

[pensive music continues]

INBOX NM: INVITATION

GROOM HAN JEONG-WON BRIDE NOH IN-JI

AS THE WITNESS TO THIS WEDDING, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING RULES

[scoffs]

It's a list of demands, not… a wedding invite.

[pensive music continues]

[music fades]

[sighs]

How the hell do you put these things on?

You know, I could've been undressed.

If you weren't dressed by now, it'd probably mean you're running away.

I thought about it, actually.

I never thought I'd be doing this again.

Technically, we should've been married after our first week together.

We had to wait 'cause of the accident.

Well, I mean, the manual says that.

I thought I wouldn't have to deal with formalities. Guess I was wrong.

[gentle synth music playing]

You're, uh, quite proficient.

I have a way with things.

My grandmother… said I always had an eye for detail.

She said those kinds of people end up doing the work other people avoid.

Guess I'm destined for heartbreak and loneliness.

You think?

Uh, no.

You know, I was gonna wear this suit at the funeral.

I knew that's what it was for.

After all, this is your only black suit, and you never wear suits anyway.

I figured it was all part of the fact that you're waiting for your father to die.

Just think of this as signing a one-year insurance contract.

You just might have to pay a penalty if you cancel.

One year?

Let's go.

[door opens]

[music swells]

[door closes]

[electronic music playing]

[man 1] Can I see the plans?

Perfect. Okay, so the space you're looking at now is the library.

And over here, this is…

[Jeong-won] It's not too late. Just say the word, and I'll call it off.

[man 2] So even at night, it should have good natural light.

[man 1] Mm, the skylight is huge. It's in a good spot.

As for the lights, they'll go here.

[Seon] The purpose of this ceremony

is to confirm and ratify the contract between the two of you.

The contract stipulates total confidentiality

between Mr. Han Jeong-won, Ms. Noh In-ji, and NM.

Legally, this marriage requires no obligations.

No duties. No records will be kept.

In the case of a breach of contract,

as stated in your initial agreement with NM,

either party may potentially be subject to liability.

Your contract will last one year.

But if both parties agree, you can extend the marriage.

In the case of one party objecting, the contract will be terminated for both.

And you

will never be allowed to… to speak again.

As soon as you sign the contract,

your marriage will begin.

Mr. Han Jeong-won and Ms. Noh In-ji,

you're now married legally per your contract with NM.

I'm honored to share this moment with you. I wish you the best.

MARRIAGE AGREEMENT GROOM HAN JEONG-WON, BRIDE NOH IN-JI

[commentator 1 on TV] Standing over the ball,

they've got a free kick in a good position.

They need to make this count.

[commentator 2] Oh, he's just gone over the bar with that one though.

I'll tell you what. That was a really, really good shot.

It was from distance.

Not the easiest to get that… get that up and in there, but…

[commentator 1] Ealing should've been able to get it in there, but he was too slow.

[commentator 2] Looking back on it, he should've done better with that.

[commentator 1] Oh, that's off.

Tipped forward, the center back headed it out,

and now they're looking to go and build some play from the right-hand side.

[commentator 2] They do have width.

They have good width on that right-hand side…

What did you do before this?

Uh, I'm not allowed to tell you that.

Oh, you're not?

Those lawyers must be incredible.

I bet they could show up in a courtroom and prove that Messi plays tennis.

Why do other people do this anyway?

Did you… ever think about asking why your other husbands were doing this?

[commentator 2] He shoots! And a great save there!

[Jeong-won] I've been thinking about it.

And I can see how, if you were lonely or terminally ill and dying,

you might wanna give this a whirl.

It's still a fake marriage though. Does it mean anything?

People work so hard not to look lonely.

They're even willing to cling to a fake marriage.

You can still be lonely, even if you're with someone.

They know that and get used to it.

Separation anxiety. You become dependent.

Isn't that the reason you got married, at least?

You became dependent. Like separation anxiety.

You knew perfectly well that you'd still be lonely.

[wistful piano music playing]

Well, good night.

By the way,

we just kicked off our honeymoon, I guess.

[commentator 1] Peyton, he did manage to get the equalizer.

It's still one-one.

I'm not so sure they're really playing all out…

IT'S NOT TOO LATE IF YOU STOP ME NOW I WON'T GO THROUGH WITH IT

[wistful piano music continues]

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

[muffled shouting]

[gasping]

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

[groans]

[melancholy music playing]

[In-ji] Were you drowning?

Is that what you were dreaming about?

Just the usual.

[In-ji] Try not to worry.

The tidal waves can't reach you here.

[sighs]

[gentle piano music playing]

[gentle piano music continues]

[music fades]

When I was sleeping, were you…

[sighs]

Forget it.

I think it was sleep paralysis.

In case you wondered, it was all real. I was by your bedside.

[coughs]

Sleeping in the same room is protocol. The manual says so.

[In-ji] Were you drowning?

Is that what you were dreaming about?

Just the usual.

[gentle synth music playing]

[In-ji] Try not to worry.

The tidal waves can't reach you here.

[In-ji] Only in special situations

is a married couple not allowed to share a bed.

"Special situations"?

In the case of infectious diseases, for example.

What is Seo-yeon thinking?

I need a companion, but not like this.

[music fades]

[Jeong-won sighs]

My life's a train wreck as it is.

So talk to my wife and find out how much of this I need to take

before she's satisfied.

I wanted to let the year pass by quietly. I told you.

I don't get why that's so hard for you!

-Why are you so upset right now? -Upset?!

I don't wanna care about this or you!

I wanna go back to how things were! I can't do this anymore!

You mean that you feel strongly about this?

I do!

I understand.

I mean, we can

probably address the sleeping arrangement.

[gentle synth music resumes]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[beeping]

[music fades]

[milonga music playing]

-[man] Oh no, I'm stuck again. -[In-ji] This was your idea.

-Oh, I got ya. -[man] All right.

-[In-ji] I got you. I got ya. -[man] Okay, you got me? There.

-[In-ji] Turn, turn. Wait, try that again. -[man] Wait, wait. How?

-[In-ji] Here. Do this with your leg. -[man] Oh, oh, like this?

[man laughs]

[In-ji] Pivot, pivot, pivot, pivot.

[man] Oh, uh, I just spun around.

[In-ji] Oh, oh, and then you go like this, okay?

-[man] That's it. Go down. -[In-ji] I'm going down. I'm going.

-Here I go. [laughs] -[man] That's it.

-Come on. Don't let go! -[In-ji] I'm trying to hold on!

-[man] You're slipping! -Help me.

[Seo-yeon] The new lights are coming.

They'll be installed next week.

Congrats on the wedding, honey.

[In-ji] I'd like to inquire about some drugs.

The pills might not be what the labels claim.

I'd like to send them to you.

[door lock chimes]

[door lock chimes]

[sighs]

[door lock chimes]

[door closes]

Why the hell are you here so early?

Hasn't it been a while since you cooked?

What, is that bastard coming back from the dead?

Yeah, go ahead. Glare at me. Make a bowl for me.

[groans] I know all I have to do is chew and swallow,

but eating is such a hassle.

By the way, your kimchi went bad and wilted. I threw it out.

I just winged this batch, but goddamn, it's amazing.

No one's gonna eat this food.

So you just made it to throw it out?

An empty house just doesn't feel right.

I heard

that jerk told his realtor

not to mess with this place till you move out.

The two of you are driving me up the wall with this nonsense.

[In-ji] Have some stew, okay?

-But you didn't. -I'll get a bite at the office.

It's your loss. This kimchi is pretty good.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door lock chimes]

Ugh! Damn it! "Just nowww"? "Nowww"?

That's red pepper powder.

[Tae-seong] Now we're gonna make these flowers bloom. Follow along.

Like so. You see? Have fun. Be creative.

All right.

Now we'll hold the bottom portion

of the finished flower with the flower scissors like this

and then slowly remove it from the nail.

Then you find the perfect spot, and…

and there you have it.

Give it a whirl.

God, he's such a master. That eye for detail.

-Wow, he's so good! -Oh goodness!

[woman 3] It's so pretty.

It's just a bunch of tricks.

He's not really employing traditional techniques.

[Yoon-a] Well, traditions change over time, don't they?

Oh, by the way, do you have your new lights?

I would love to come check them out.

'Cause, you know, those are gonna be one-of-a-kind in South Korea.

I doubt I'd be able to see them otherwise.

Um, I don't know. I don't really get to decide that.

Well, I will take that as a yes.

-[woman 1] He's great. -[woman 2] That was great.

I'll be looking forward to the next class.

-[Tae-seong] Have a good day. -[woman 1] Bye.

Hey, I DMed you to put in an order. Rice cakes for Oh Hyeon-cheol.

Oh.

His entire family is…

They're really particular, so it needs to be perfect, or I'll be…

I'll be on the chopping block if it goes wrong.

This is your husband?

Huh?

It's an older man's name.

Oh, they're for my father-in-law's birthday.

Not too excited to deal with your in-laws, huh?

Don't you worry.

I'll make sure they say,

"Well, this is going all wrong,

but she nailed the rice cakes."

[intriguing music playing]

[Yoon-a] Oh wow.

[music intensifies]

[electronic music playing]

[sighs deeply]

[man 1 sighs] How'd I get a case about a 50-million-won piece of luggage?

I got a feeling we're gonna be banging our heads against the wall with this one.

Fingerprints?

It was underwater, so it's gonna take a while to know.

Man, what happened?

There's a lot going on out here,

but it's sort of dead too.

It's too clean, like it's been scoured.

[man 1] What do you mean?

I dunno, man. [grunts]

[phone buzzing]

[man 1] Hello?

They know who owned the trunk.

You must have a whole bunch of these at home

since you didn't notice this 50-million-won trunk was gone.

Although we know you didn't use it.

When we found the body, we found this thing with it.

So how are you related to the owner of the trunk to my left?

I'm her husband.

And my wife used to use it.

Okay, which wife?

[pensive music playing]

You don't have to be here since I'm around. It's about to get dusty.

[door opens]

[phone buzzing]

[In-yeong] Word is, he's looking for a house in Budapest.

I think he's planning to settle down.

[footsteps approaching]

So I'd like to take the chandelier with me today.

-If that's okay with-- -Sure, go ahead.

You know it's really rare, right?

So you might wanna talk this over with Jeong-won…

Your husband. Sorry, I forgot that's who he is to you.

Well, you must know about the nightmares that thing caused.

Clearly, we needed to get rid of it. We both agreed on it.

We should have dinner together with our spouses soon.

Now that the lights are taken care of and the two of you are officially married,

we should celebrate.

You… We don't have to if it's awkward.

We'd be delighted. I'm glad you asked.

How about next Wednesday, then?

Yeah. That sounds good.

[footsteps approaching]

[Yoon-a] Oh hey!

This is where you're hiding!

My husband has told me so much about you.

Sorry. Kang Yoon-a.

Hi.

[mysterious music sting]

[music fades]

She seems really classy. Super easygoing. She's not a loudmouth.

That's a relief. I mean, I was worried she was gonna be a lunatic.

I guess Jeong-won's got pretty good taste in women, after all, doesn't he?

Hey, are you doing okay?

So good.

Jeong-won deserves to be happy too.

[footsteps approaching]

[In-ji] We're going to have Seo-yeon and her husband over for dinner.

Are you guys friends?

Well, she helped out with the chandelier.

So I agreed to it.

[sentimental music playing]

[In-ji] I was just going to sell it to the scrapyard for 3,000 won.

Then she offered to take it off our hands.

3,000? That thing's worth 30 million.

I didn't want us to remember it as something valuable.

So I thought we should treat it like a worthless piece of junk

and watch it get melted down little by little

until there's nothing left.

Now I bet it's gonna be around for a while. It's frustrating.

[Jeong-won sighs]

Seriously, before you started this, what did you do?

A lot of things.

Okay, tell me about one.

I taught dance lessons for a while.

Tango, waltz, all that jazz.

Did you teach milonga?

There was a recording I heard in the car.

Where do you go in the morning?

I exercise.

What do you do?

Kayaking.

When I'm out there alone in the morning,

I feel like an island floating on a lake.

You're pretty active.

[In-ji] I tried to improve our sleeping arrangement.

Think of this as a peaceful little island.

[music fades]

I'll try to keep you safe from the waves.

[intriguing music playing]

[Jeong-won sighs]

[door opens]

What are you doing here?

I wanna see the bedroom of our newlyweds.

What are you hoping to see?

It smells so different now. I think it's that diffuser.

Is it bergamot?

We really like the new lights.

Thank you.

Great. Did you give them a good look?

[music fades]

[footsteps approaching]

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

-Aren't you uncomfortable here? -What do you mean?

A divorced couple's dinner party?

[footsteps approaching]

I guess so.

[intriguing music playing]

Dinner is just about ready.

[intriguing music continues]

[music stops]

Go ahead. You love these.

[chuckles]

[Seo-yeon laughs]

When I lived here,

I would've never been able to serve something like this.

Now that I'm a guest, I finally get to try it.

I'm sorry. It's so funny. [laughs]

Please go ahead.

When I heard you liked it, I made it right away.

Do you hate tomatoes too, then?

How about that?

I figured you'd like them, actually.

-I mean, most people do. -[cabinet door opens]

[cabinet door closes]

You've got something here, honey.

So, Jeong-won, when did you meet Seo-yeon?

It was about 30 years ago.

Mm-hmm. That's right.

Wow.

And yet you were only actually married about two years.

Guess even 30 years of build-up can't save a marriage

if it's not a good fit.

Guess it goes to show you really just need to find the right person.

[cutlery clatters]

-You need to-- -[man] What, I can't say that?

Are you just gonna sit here and pretend?

How about you? Before you got married, how long did you date?

So…

that didn't really affect us since we…

had so much chemistry right away.

Wasn't it the same for you guys?

[intriguing music playing]

[man] I'm handsome

and young.

-[dishes clatter] -Nice and tall too.

What are you doing?

As in what am I doing for work?

You wanna know what I "do"?

You could interpret it that way.

[man chuckles]

You're wound tight.

Are you in love with In-ji?

Why can't you answer the question?

Just so you know,

I love Seo-yeon.

[electronic music playing]

We've had quite a bit of wine.

How's it work for you guys?

Usually, we like to do it after we've had… three glasses or so.

Are you two like us?

We're a beer couple, actually.

Oh! Beer. Cool.

Well, they've got us there. Different alcohol content.

I prefer the one you had in here before. Don't you?

[music fades]

Uh, no.

[Seo-yeon] This is why I thought you were childish.

Holding onto the past,

licking old wounds, and losing sleep over old stories.

Don't you agree?

I should've hauled that piece of garbage over to the fucking junkyard.

[ethereal music playing]

Truth is, there are some things you don't just get over.

Don't minimize his pain.

Jeez, so serious.

There have gotta be some old wounds you're still nursing. Am I wrong?

Nothing?

Let's call it.

I don't want this dinner party… to peter out.

[dishes clattering]

[music fades]

[dishes clatter]

Have you seen the USB drive I keep in the car?

I can't find it.

Bluetooth's not your thing, huh?

I guess I don't leave a trace or a name.

You don't use Bluetooth either.

I've always used USB to store my work.

No security issues, and Bluetooth's a hassle.

I'll reconnect your drive.

That song just never gets old.

And you actually dance to that song?

Tango?

Sorry. It's just hard to understand how…

I thought you'd hate that stuff.

I mean, it's hard to picture you dancing. That's all.

Oh, I'm sorry. That sounded harsh.

I bet it would blow you away. If only I could show you.

[milonga music playing]

Okay, would you mind showing me?

What's this?

It takes two to tango, obviously.

Uh, no, no, no, no.

Uh…

[breathes shakily]

Your right hand rests on the woman's back,

and your left hand should always support the woman's right hand.

Uh, do we really have to…

Now we shift our center of gravity one step after another.

As you take each step, try not to go by yourself.

Imagine carrying the other person with you

so our bodies can transition through the space.

[milonga music continues]

[laughs]

Now move forward on your right foot two steps. That's it.

Right foot. Oh!

[Jeong-won laughs]

[In-ji laughs]

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

Starting with your right foot, take a step forward.

Left foot.

Right foot sidesteps.

We're shifting our center. And step right.

-Oh! [chuckles] -[Jeong-won] Oh!

Try again.

[milonga music continues]

[music fades]

[unsettling music playing]

[music fades]

[ethereal music playing]

[music swells]

[music stops]

[milonga music resumes]

[music fades]
