THE TRUNK

[wistful music playing]

[door slams]

[In-ji breathing heavily]

[panting]

[breathing shakily]

[music fades]

[In-ji breathes shakily]

[wistful music resumes]

[In-ji breathes shakily]

[In-ji inhales sharply]

[breathes shakily]

[phone buzzing]

[Si-jeong] I saw Eom Tae-seong by your house.

You need some pepper spray?

[music fades]

My mom gave me that when I was little so I wouldn't have nightmares.

Looked like your dream wasn't so nice. What was it about?

I couldn't tell you.

It's rare to remember dreams, you know.

Didn't know that.

Mine are always so vivid.

"All life originated in the water, so we're not dying."

"We're just taking a little rest." That's what I was always told.

'Cause of this, I could sleep for a while.

But I started having nightmares after my mom died.

What nightmare was vivid enough that you needed something like this?

Lots of them.

In one of them, I was on a crowded street, and I just melt away.

I try to yell and shout, only my voice would get drowned out.

I was dying alone. Then it…

was over.

What's so wrong with dying alone?

It might be more peaceful to die alone, actually.

[gentle piano music playing]

Sure, you're by yourself. Fear just makes us forget that though.

It's not like there's anything we can do, right?

Once you accept the truth, it's freeing.

And how would we

ever love anyone else unless we're totally alone?

It sounds like you were in love before.

So what about your bad dreams?

They don't usually--

Do you see Eom Tae-seong in them?

Who is Eom Tae-seong?

Do you really need pepper spray? Is he that bad?

He's a stalker.

He's been stalking me for five years now.

It's possible he's watching us from outside the house right now.

Have you called the police?

[stirring music playing]

God, of course you have.

Well, what more can we do about it now?

You can't do anything about it. That's protocol.

Eom Tae-seong is my issue.

He doesn't affect our relationship.

Don't let this bother you.

[door opens]

[Seo-yeon] It's a client introduction, so this shouldn't take long.

[Ji-o] Okay, I'll call you when I get there.

Aren't you busy? You don't have to come here.

Just depends on how much I get done.

Just take it easy. I'm tired, so I'll be home early anyway.

[disconnect tone]

[automated voice] Floor two.

Doors closing.

[ominous music playing]

[Tae-seong] Lee Seo-yeon?

Eom Tae-seong. Pleasure.

I think we met at the Heritage Lounge earlier.

Oh, I…

I don't recall that.

Well, that's okay. Not like we shook hands, so…

It's just a bunch of tricks.

He's not really employing traditional techniques.

[music fades]

Uh, sit down.

[gentle piano music playing]

I was told you're looking for a workshop and gallery that's around five stories.

Here are some samples for you to consider.

It's odd, I know.

I used to wear them when I was in jail. Now it's just for fun.

They're actually kinda comforting too.

I know you were

curious about the shoes, that's all.

Well, no, I'm not one to pry into other people's personal lives.

Mm, you seemed pretty interested.

I'm not sure if I--

Noh In-ji.

Why are you so interested in Noh In-ji? Can you explain that?

You stupid skank.

[stirring music playing]

[scoffs]

[scoffs mockingly]

[chuckles]

[laughs uncomfortably]

Look, I have nothing against skanks.

Just don't… screw with In-ji.

Just don't do it.

Is that… clear?

If you wanna know the truth about me,

NM is your best bet.

While you're at it, ask them what I might do if you don't listen.

Okay, good.

Email me those samples. Thanks.

Ms. Lee Seo-yeon.

-[device beeps] -[pensive music playing]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Did you not get my texts last night?

You weren't replying.

I fell asleep early. Sorry.

Eom Tae-seong is going to show up before you know it. You gotta be ready.

You must've seen the pic I sent.

You need it, I'm good for it.

Guns, grenades, whatever you want, I'm totally on it.

Just say the word. The moment you tell me, I got it.

Really.

I'll kill that weasel, and I won't bat an eye.

You're not doing anything.

I'll do it.

Si-jeong.

Ask a man out on a date.

What for?

Listen, I'm miserable enough.

I don't think I wanna roll the dice on a new relationship right now.

There's a way higher chance of it being a disaster than working out.

I thought our friendship would be over when Hye-yeong died.

So why are you still this nice?

I only ever had three friends, honestly.

Now I have two, so I'm just trying to help out.

[chopsticks clatter]

[intriguing music playing]

Look into Seo-yeon for me, okay?

She's Jeong-won's ex-wife.

Find out where she gets the drugs.

Is she a junkie?

No. A pusher, I think. And she's really spiteful.

[phone buzzing]

[Ji-o] I don't think I can make it.

I gotta see a few old coworkers.

It's been forever, so…

[Seo-yeon] I just got in the car to go home anyway.

See you at home.

[disconnect tone]

[engine starts]

[stirring music playing]

Must've been that gathering where I met him initially.

He was handsome and did pretty good work too.

So everyone started talking

about him really quickly.

Was he introduced to Noh In-ji at that time as well?

Jeong-won's wife, do you mean her?

No.

If anything, I think she knew Seo-yeon.

Lee Seo-yeon?

Yes.

I believe I saw the two… of them meet.

Lee Seo-yeon?

[Yoon-a] I was wondering if it was you. I saw you at the back of the restaurant.

I was there for a parent-teacher meeting.

I knew you'd nail it, and you'd spot me too.

[chuckles]

[groans]

Cramps suck, I know.

I hope they go away. I just took a little Advil.

God, you make me so jealous.

If our lives were all painted in one color,

I feel like mine would be totally ash.

It's just gray and boring.

At least you have your kids.

I'd be happy to get rid of them.

[laughs]

Honestly, it'd be amazing to stuff them back into my stomach.

I mean, I have the worst luck with them, and it just…

Ugh, it feels like we are attached forever.

At least things were quiet before they were born, you know?

Ever since we had kids,

it's like I'm just growing all these new umbilical cords, I swear.

You know those weird alien parasites in all the sci-fi flicks?

It's sorta like that.

If it's really that rough, you could get a divorce.

But we hold hands at the grocery store,

and I'm not ready to let that go.

You met with Eom Tae-seong, right?

Oh, yeah, I saw him there earlier.

He's the, uh, guy who makes works of art out of rice cakes.

And I think we had some of those when Jeong-won got his lights replaced.

[Yoon-a] Oh, hey! This is where you're hiding!

[brooding music playing]

[sighs]

[groans]

[grunts in pain]

[music fades]

What are you doing here?

You're curious about that?

I thought you would want to know how you ended up here to begin with.

[groans]

If you had gotten here a little later,

they would've done a hysterectomy, you know.

They only had to remove one of your ovaries, thankfully.

But the other one is not in great shape, so you'll need to continue treatment.

The bell is right back there.

And I'll make sure the nurse knows you're awake on my way out.

What happened? The last thing I remember…

I think Yoon-a was driving.

She said her kids were getting back from camp today.

She asked me to stay with you in her place.

She may be a bit slow, but there's

no way she's dumb enough to tell you to come here for a visit.

Jeong-won left his phone at home.

That's why I picked up instead 'cause I didn't wanna miss the call.

He wasn't in his workshop. I kept trying, but I couldn't reach him.

Yoon Ji-o had to run an errand.

I figured you'd appreciate knowing that too.

I bet you're happy, huh?

Learned a lot about me, didn't you?

Well, I'm sure you had fun studying me too, Seo-yeon.

[stirring music playing]

Why do you say that?

Honestly, I just have a feeling

you've done a lot more research than I have, that's all.

I'm sure you've… at least seen my CV.

[chuckles]

If you had, you'd know I want… this marriage to work.

Oh, so… did you and Jeong-won make love?

What the hell are you doing?

[Seo-yeon] Your catheter tube fell out.

[beeping]

That's why you… need someone here at your bedside, you know.

[door opens]

[music fades]

[door closes]

-[In-ji] Oh, sh… should I try this too? -[man] That's it.

-[In-ji] Wait, I'm going down. -[man] Go down.

-[In-ji] I'm going, here I go. [laughs] -[man] Do it.

[melodic acoustic guitar music playing]

[melodic acoustic guitar music continues]

[Hyeon-cheol] Yo.

Dude!

[music fades]

[sighs]

Why don't you answer your phone, dumbass?

We have to go right now.

[Ji-o] She's all changed now. You can go in.

[door closes]

You all right?

[Seo-yeon] They told me I should get my IUD removed,

but I said no.

Another pregnancy? I don't want that.

I'm sure I should've listened to the doctor.

You know how I get. I'm just too stubborn, you know?

We had some options. Why'd you do this?

None of it felt right to me, I guess.

I almost had to get a hysterectomy, but it didn't quite come to that,

so I guess I'll keep menstruating.

Not that it matters.

The odds of me getting pregnant are really low anyway.

Seo-yeon.

Do you

want another baby, Jeong-won?

[pensive music playing]

[man] Ma'am, your husband… begged us.

He was very upset.

I don't think…

having a child would be good for you.

You know why I say that?

[pensive music continues]

[retching]

[groans]

OPERATION AND ANESTHESIA CONSENT FORM

[pensive music continues]

Excuse me.

The child.

Save the child first, please.

[pensive music continues]

[breathing heavily]

[inhales deeply]

Fuck me. They are alive.

[unsettling music playing]

[Jeong-won] Eom Tae-seong?

It is you.

What are you doing?

I'm lifting the shadows.

You said we should confront the truth.

[exhales sharply]

What is it you do for work?

Rice cakes.

Apprenticed for a brilliant guy.

A master of the craft.

I could've taken his place,

but he would whale on me so often that I couldn't deal with it.

I noticed you have…

no security cameras watching over this amazing place.

Must have a lot of secrets.

Or cameras… aren't your thing.

[laughing]

[intriguing piano music playing]

The tea is amazing. Really.

She's a great cook too.

She was a model student since her days at the workshop.

She's so cool.

I'd love to make you dohaengbyung next time.

You start with the dried apricots and powder these little short grain rice.

Then you… [laughs]

The old man taught me.

He used to beat my ass when he taught me,

and I couldn't sleep because the bruising was so terrible.

But that's what made them so…

so good.

Do you smoke, man?

[uneasy music playing]

[music fades]

I have money.

I've been wondering how good it would feel if I utilized it to obliterate you.

The truth is, I have a lot of options.

Even though I could probably ruin you,

I thought I'd give you more of a chance.

Meet you and talk.

You need to stay the hell away from In-ji.

That way, I won't have to waste money on this shit.

I heard rich people don't spend money without the promise of a return.

Who is that woman to you? Go ahead, Jeong-won.

Why her?

Ah!

You think In-ji is actually becoming your wife now.

Oh.

[laughs]

Don't ever come near her again.

You think you know that woman like I do? [chuckles]

You… you trust her? You really believe her?

NOH IN-JI DO YOU TRUST HER?

You sent me a text, didn't you?

[unsettling music playing]

Han Jeong-won.

You idiot.

You're just a producer at a record label.

Tell me. How do you think you're going to ruin a life that's already destroyed?

Do you think that's easy, huh?

You have no idea how far down rock bottom goes.

Do you think you can ruin me, rich boy?

Because that's exactly the kind of story people wanna hear, you little shitheel.

[laughing]

You fucking psycho.

[Tae-seong] Mm.

Do you think Noh In-ji is gonna love you, Jeong-won?

Really, huh?

You seriously believe that?

Think she knows that…

that you killed your mother? Does she know?

[unsettling music continues]

You son of a…

[Jeong-won grunting]

You crazy piece of shit.

[Tae-seong laughing]

[unsettling music intensifies]

[electronic music playing]

[music subsides]

A lot of folks around here set off fireworks by the lake,

so people don't pay too much attention to loud noises.

Plus, it rained a lot this morning, so there's not much to see here.

Oh, here. Sorry.

What about the guy's stab wound?

It's been there for a while.

The moron didn't see a doctor.

He bought tape at a pharmacy and put that on.

[man 2] The coffee sucks.

He's gone.

Well, it's been a… really long day.

[wistful music playing]

[Jeong-won] I wanted to have a child of my own.

That way,

I wouldn't just have to keep on living as someone's son.

I could be a father from that point forward.

But it didn't work out.

Why not?

I guess she preferred not to have kids in her life.

I think I pushed it on her from the start.

[wistful music continues]

-[tires squeal] -[people scream]

[unsettling music playing]

It happened because of me.

[wistful music playing]

People still think it was an accident,

that she collapsed 'cause she felt sick.

And that's what Seo-yeon told the doctor.

A mother who was already in her third trimester.

She would've felt the child moving and kicking more than ever before.

Then…

then, without a thought, she runs into the street.

How do you explain that to anyone?

You heard of the… blue pill?

Basically, there's a blue and a red one.

If you take the blue one,

you're completely unaware of the truth, so it makes you see things how you want.

You're blissfully ignorant, and you

get used to living in that world.

What's the red one do?

Basically, it dispels all your illusions.

Makes you see the brutal truth.

That's when it began. I started to feel…

like I was desperate to escape my wife.

I really wanted that child to live more than her.

She found out about it, right?

I don't know why I felt that way.

I, uh…

You know why, Jeong-won.

This was not about saving a life.

I think it was about taking one.

[Seon] In-ji learned jujitsu

because she was so afraid of Eom Tae-seong.

We had him put in a mental facility,

though it didn't take.

Wait, I thought he was in jail.

He was wearing those sneakers.

The kind you usually see prisoners wear.

Those.

Assault, attempted murder, and theft.

Aside from stalking, he already had a criminal record.

You said you had him committed, right? How?

Eom Tae-seong attacked an… NM security employee four years ago.

Broke his neck in front of me.

I tried going to the cops over and over, but it didn't work.

I even tried to catch him with a GPS once.

And they just couldn't do anything… until I died or got beaten up by him.

Don't worry. I'll get good security. It's gonna be okay.

Eom Tae-seong broke this guy's neck like snapping a branch.

He was security.

Keepers, they call them.

-[tense music plays] -[Tae-seong] Bastard.

[man grunts]

[Tae-seong] What are you looking at?

What's wrong, hmm?

[grunting]

[Tae-seong] Stay still!

[In-ji] They're usually ex-special forces or former Secret Service agents,

sometimes Olympic athletes.

[intriguing music playing]

Eom Tae-seong is more of a risk to people around me

than he is to my personal safety.

He always finds a way to show who's in charge.

He has to keep me powerless so only he's in control.

[distant siren wailing]

[Seon] The company dealt with it quietly. They reached a settlement with the family.

Eom Tae-seong was then committed at their urging.

Please tell me we can put him back there.

If we were to get involved again, he'd surrender to the authorities,

and I'd have a lot of explaining to do at the police station,

as I'm sure you know.

In the course of that,

NM would… lose its confidential status.

He also said I

should ask NM what happens if I don't listen.

I suggest you either stop what you were doing…

or learn jujitsu. Be careful.

[sighs]

[both sigh]

[Seo-yeon] He was always such a prick to me.

Said our marriage wasn't good for his company.

He's gotta be in, uh,

the top five worst assholes I've ever met in my entire life.

He definitely seems at peace for such a bad guy.

You're right.

Hey, what are you doing?

What? He can't feel it.

I'm the only one who might feel shitty about it.

[uneasy music playing]

[gasps]

It's just a reflex.

He's not conscious or anything.

Seo-yeon found him like this.

[music fades]

I guess she was here, and she wanted to see him.

He doesn't have much time. Prepare yourself.

[door opens]

I haven't looked him in the eyes for a long time.

Can't believe it.

[emotional piano music playing]

[emotional piano music continues]

[emotional piano music continues]

[emotional piano music continues]

[knock at door]

[man] This is for you to change into, sir.

-Whoever gave it to you, did they leave? -Yes, as they dropped it off.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Hyeon-cheol] Yeah, set that up. Right, I understand. Thank you.

AS WISHED BY THE DECEASED, CONDOLENCE MONEY IS DECLINED

Oh, here, just leave it here, next to the column.

Uh, yep, just two.

[Yoon-a] I think we came too early.

[music fades]

Wait, Seo-yeon's nowhere to be found.

-You think she'll come? -[Hyeon-cheol] Why the hell would she?

Well, he was her father-in-law, so…

Oh boy. She can't wear that.

Has she lost her mind?

[door closes]

[Seo-yeon chuckles]

Still can't put on your own tie, huh?

You don't have to wear mourning clothes, Seo-yeon.

Well, people are gonna gossip anyway.

Better than being the horrible daughter-in-law

who missed the funeral.

I went to his hospital room, you know.

I might have been the one who killed your father, actually, so, um…

What are you telling me?

The look on my face can do that.

This is a good thing, Jeong-won. He's done torturing you.

And, plus, he doesn't have to live in agony.

These ones are nonaddictive.

In America, even hospitals give these to people

in case the pills you're on don't work anymore.

The tie, I can't help you with.

You know the employees probably know some fancy knots.

They're pros with that stuff.

See you in there.

[Seo-yeon sighs]

[wistful music playing]

Where were you, In-ji?

Not far.

Will you stay close to me?

Technically, I can't attend official events.

The manual prohibits it.

Didn't you want a…

a quiet wedding, Jeong-won?

[sighs] You and your manual.

There you go. Go inside.

I can't do it without you.

I know.

Doesn't getting her ovaries removed… make a woman go all crazy?

Oh my God! Quiet! Sh!

What is she doing at someone else's funeral?

What about her husband, Ji-o?

She's known them since she was little. So what if she's here more as a daughter?

I mean, ya know, Jeong-won's an only child, so…

A daughter-in-law is excommunicated after a divorce.

When's the last time a divorcée

showed up to her rich former father-in-law's funeral?

A daughter? You're kidding! They were never that close.

-[sighs] -So where is Ms. Noh? I don't…

-I'd be losing my cool if I saw that. -Hush. Sh.

-[gasps] She's here. She's here! -Huh? Wh… what?

What are you doing?

[Yoon-a] Are they… seriously gonna do this?

Uh…

Oh my…

[Jeong-won sighs]

You don't need to be here.

No one would think less of you if you skipped this.

It's okay. I'm doing this for you.

What do you mean you're doing it for me?

No one's here to find out how a man who was in a coma could've passed away.

They'll say, "Well, he was on his way out."

It's you they're gonna judge.

In their eyes, you're a lazy failure who's wasting his life more every day.

What they're gonna be saying when they leave,

"He was so alone." "Clearly, he's a broken man."

"What if he starts doing drugs again?"

Your audience is just a bunch of judgmental jerks.

You wanna make them gossip more?

That woman is gonna make it worse.

Only I really know you.

Honey, people won't go easy on you.

The scandalous downfall of a dead CEO's son.

It'd be a feeding frenzy of rumors and gossip.

Think about it.

Which of the two of us would give you a quiet life?

[pensive music playing]

[pensive music continues]

You're a lot braver than I thought.

What if the wrong person saw you at a place like this?

You need to leave my husband alone.

You won't ever have him again. You're done.

Don't forget your place, In-ji.

You're not being paid to act out like this, okay?

This is what you're paying me for. You want me to act like a wife.

It's pretend.

And it's all over in a year.

A year… is enough time for some people to plan their own deaths.

For others, it's lots of time to keep on living and get stronger.

It's enough time to bear a child,

and you just spoiled that, didn't you?

That child who would've taken its first breath

and learned to adore you.

[tense music playing]

[Seo-yeon screams in pain]

What the fuck do you know anyway?

Ah, you're just some low-rent bitch!

[grunts]

Jeong-won saw you jump into oncoming traffic that day.

[exhales sharply]

Listen, I'm saying he saw you

throw your own unborn child into the middle of the road.

He blamed himself, and he doesn't understand it.

I guess you're off the hook again.

[intriguing music playing]

I promise you this. There is no way I'll let you ruin our marriage

or Jeong-won's chance at a new life.

I want him to feel content and hopeful again.

Now tell me what it is you want.

[inhales sharply]

You should go.

You stay here much longer,

and I would have to tell Jeong-won a whole lot more about you.

We don't want that.

[whimpers]

I know you're a little… curious what I know about you, Seo-yeon.

[breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[coughs]

There's only one son but two daughters-in-law.

So crazy.

Well, Seo-yeon is gone now.

And I'm by your side today.

[gentle piano music playing]

What about the manual, In-ji?

I'll…

just take the day off.

[music fades]

Let's hit a spa first. You look pretty rough right now.

You ever not been picked, Ji-o?

Let's say there's you and Cheol-su,

and if Cheol-su gets selected, then you die, ya know?

Well, yeah, I've always been picked for things.

Never been in a concentration camp scenario though.

I was always the one doing the choosing.

If I didn't like a teacher, I switched to another homeroom.

Always found a way to move next to the kids I wanted to sit with.

I got what I wanted, whether it was

friend groups or tutors.

Men were never an issue,

so I didn't mind when I'd get called a shrew or skank.

Come on. All of a sudden, you

feel wronged over a few nasty words?

Why am I

feeling like the whole world revolves around Noh In-ji lately?

She was just supposed to be quiet and play second fiddle to me for a year.

But now I've become the Cheol-su who didn't get picked.

LATE HAN YEONG-HO

You should turn in.

I am pretty sure that's it for guests.

I can't waste this.

It's your day off.

[In-ji chuckles]

You wanna go do something?

[melodic pop music playing]

You're driving blind now.

[laughing]

I can't see, for real.

[both laughing]

I feel like I can't even see the lights.

Oh, I… I can see. [laughs]

What is with these?

[melodic pop music continues]

Why is it so empty in here?

I chose a really unpopular movie tonight.

Oh, good.

[sniffing]

Smells like incense.

You're right.

It's all yours.

[melodic pop music continues]

[melodic pop music continues]

This one would look good on you.

[laughs]

Hey, don't shrink.

It reminds me of one of those piano covers.

[laughs]

[In-ji] Huh?

[melodic pop music continues]

Turn around.

[Jeong-won chuckles]

What's so funny?

I feel like I just left a bathhouse.

[music fades]

I went to one with some friends when I was little.

When I came out, I saw I still had suds on my head.

Still, it was refreshing and a lot of fun.

Although I had to rinse off again.

I don't get it. My father's dead.

I feel like I shouldn't be this happy.

Not everybody's father deserves to be mourned.

It's not your fault.

The same thing goes for mothers too.

Did your mother

really kill that person, like you said?

Well, if you count social death, then, yeah, probably.

Sambin Electronics' International Business Team. Mr. Seo.

I'm sure you've heard of him.

The video did go viral, after all.

That was where my mom worked.

She found out her daughter was about to run off and marry a bisexual man,

so she outed him to the entire nation ten days before the wedding.

So many people were calling me that the battery in my phone didn't work.

They thought I didn't know and I was a victim in the situation.

I couldn't get a hold of him. I missed his calls.

Or that's what I decided to believe.

'Cause when someone you know so well just vanishes, it

makes no sense at all.

You still waiting?

What if…

later on, I don't wanna be… without you?

I could

feel that way, I think.

[ethereal music playing]

[music swells]

[silence]
