THE TRUNK
LATE SO HYE-YEONG
[wistful music playing]
[In-ji] This is a pretty lonely
memorial service, huh?
I'm so sorry to leave you by yourself.
Next time we see each other
I won't dare to leave your side, okay?
I will not leave you alone.
[Si-jeong] Was anyone else there?
[In-ji] Mm-hmm.
I know you're lying.
We're all Hye-yeong's got.
Who else would come?
I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
[In-ji] Well, it's not like
you skipped it on purpose.
It's all right.

[Jeong-won] Did someone die?
Friend of mine.
[Jeong-won] I thought traditional hairpins
were for family funerals.
I wore them 'cause she had no one.
And it feels like I got her killed.
How about you?
It was my mother.
I feel like I killed her too.
I'm sure
you're not the reason she died.

[Jeong-won sighs]
[door lock beeps]
[Jeong-won sighs]
Are you all right?
Uh, it's not my blood.
How did you know where to go?
The contract says
it's your listed address.
Did Eom Tae-seong come here before?
Is this your fiancé's place?
The guy your mom ruined.
And why do you care about that?
Um, I was just concerned.
You should go. Don't worry about it.
This has nothing to do with you,
Jeong-won.
[chuckles]
We're together.
I'm not allowed to be concerned?
You're my wife, aren't you?
You think this is special, what we have?
You're immature. That hasn't changed.
Very selfish.
You have always been particular.
At the end of the day,
this is still a job.
This is all straight from the manual.
I cooked for you in the morning
and grilled the fish
so you'd have some sort of order
in your home and routine.
So can you honor my boundaries?
Do you take pleasure
in playing the role of the ideal wife?
You're stuck in someone's house,
and you can't leave.
Do you take pride in helping
sad-sack guys like me?
That's how you wash away the remorse?
You've been going along
with all of it too, Jeong-won.
And that is why you didn't have to come
all this way just to play the hero.
So just stay out of my life, will you?
And if Eom Tae-seong comes around or not,
it's none of your business.
[melancholy piano music playing]
This isn't your space,
and I think you should go.
Right, it's not your space either.
You've been clinging to your ex.
You're afraid of who you'll be
if you let go.
But you don't have to be afraid.
Are you afraid
you might actually fall for me?
Come on, now.
Go hide in your lavish mansion.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[door lock beeps]
[exhales sharply]
[uneasy music playing]
- [woman] Hi. Welcome.
- [Tae-seong groans]
Rubbing alcohol, iodine.
I need antiseptics.
Uh, painkillers, ban bandages.
Everything. Strong drugs.
Uh, how did you get injured, sir?
Oh, well, ya know screwdriver stabbing.
I think you need
to go to the ER tonight, sir.
Oh, this bitch. She is un-fucking-real.
[exhausted laugh]
Uh, just would you hand it over?
[exhausted laugh]
- [screams]
- [woman whimpers]
[grunting]
[Tae-seong groaning]
[uneasy music continues]
[Tae-seong] You sure have changed a lot.
Mr. Seo is scary.
This is so out of character for you.
[Tae-seong laughs]
You did this.
You turned me into this.
You think I wouldn't find out
what you did five years ago?
So you think
I was the one who sent the videos?
It was her own mother who did it.
All I was doing was acting
in the public interest, telling her.
[groans] Wait.
If you were to die,
all I'd have to do is disappear again.
So if you ever show yourself again, I'll
I will ruin you.
[groans]
- [sighs]
- [woman screams]
[woman whimpers]
[Tae-seong] Come on, ma'am.
- You really think I'm gonna hurt you?
- [busy signal]
[Tae-seong] I mean, look at me.
I'm in pain.
[breathing frantically]
Listen, bitch.
- [woman whimpers, sobs]
- You think I'll hurt you?
[woman whimpering]
Damn it.
[woman screams]
[sobbing]
[music swells to crescendo]
The stuff won't come off.
Yeah. To be honest,
the situation isn't ideal.
Right, I understand.
Wait. Hang up, hang up, hang up.
[keypad beeping]
Whose blood is on my floor?
Holy shit. It is you, after all.
I can't believe we're meeting.
I'm Ms. Do-dam. I live next door.
I know In-ji well.
I know she's sat in there for five years,
drowning in sadness.
Was this a regular thing?
Took your time showing up.
Why not wait till she's dead?
You might as well.
God, give me a fucking break.
I've heard Tae-seong's been
stalking In-ji and harassing her
in all kinds of messed-up ways.
I heard the son of a bitch killed someone.
[door lock beeps]
God help me.
Driving me nuts.

[scoffs]
[sighs]
Manual, my ass, huh.
[cup clatters]
[liquid pouring]
[In-yeong] Having strawberries
used to feel like a luxury,
but now I just eat them like candy.
I just can't help myself. I swear.
He told me I should do it.
In exchange, he wants nothing
to do with the child.
I told him thank you
and said we'd leave him alone.
That's so great to hear.
All my life, I've been on the run,
and now I can put down real roots.
I wanna have this little one
and take good care of it.
This can be a tough world.
And my child
might be headstrong like me. [chuckles]
I just wanna give it a happy life.
I have to say, you seem sort of down.
You okay?
I had an argument with my husband.
So you two really argue?
He more or less said I was living in fear.
That's pretty rich coming from a guy
who has basically never left his house.
Like the pot calling the kettle black.
You can stop looking for him.
Thought you might wanna know.
Why though?
Well, he's here.
But have you two talked?
[gentle piano music playing]
Does it make you wanna run?
You're both in one place.
[chuckles]
I've never seen anyone
more scared than you.
[gentle piano music continues]
[Jeong-won] I mean, come on, man!
She waited five years in that apartment
for a guy who might never come back.
Wanna talk about boundaries for real?
She has no idea
how dangerous this situation is.
That woman can be so fucking stubborn.
[sighs] She's just so selfish.
She moved her stuff into my house,
and I'm not allowed to see that apartment?
Does she need to
keep holding onto that shithole?
That makes no sense at all, dude!
Why are you freaking out, dude?
Not like it's a real marriage.
- [sighs]
- [phone buzzing]
[In-ji] I left early
to take care of a few things.
About yesterday, that was uncalled-for.
I'm sorry.
[Hyeon-cheol] What? What did she say?
Mainly, sorry.
Well, there ya have it.
[inhales sharply]
I wasn't angry.
I worry about In-ji.
We've tightened security
throughout the area.
And for the other building, sir?
Just put a few CCTVs in his unit.
Uh Um, are you sure that works?
Yes. Just do it.
[intriguing music playing]
[Tae-seong] I think In-ji and I
are destined to perish side by side.
I mean, if I can't have her, that is.
That's a pretty good alternative.
[Si-jeong] Apparently, it wasn't Do-ha's.
The blood.
Ms. Do-dam saw him,
and she said he seemed fine.
I guess we should be thankful
that he wasn't the victim.
Come on. Don't you think
you should at least see his face?
I'll take care of it.
[Si-jeong sighs]
You'll take care of it? Right.
When you first told me
about this marriage you're in,
I figured you were desperate
and trying to survive,
even though you were really hurting.
After my mom and dad separated,
I I was raised
living alone with my aunts.
I lived like an orphan for five years,
feeling anxious.
When I was in high school
and met you guys,
I realized I finally had a family.
Hye-yeong was an actual orphan,
and you had cut ties with your mom
when you went off to college.
And we all used to say,
"We have each other,
so who needs a family or marriage?"
We said that up until Hye-yeong died.
[scoffs] Bitch ruined everything by dying.
She abandoned us.
[melancholy music playing]
You know, my greatest regret is
not going to that memorial.
I missed it 'cause I had to
take care of my horrible aunt.
She was a giant pain in the ass
right up until she died.
My point is
I'm the only family you've got
at this point.
And you have no reason to be with that guy
if it's over between you and Do-ha.
There's a contract.
[Si-jeong groans] Oh, come on!
You think I don't know you?
When your eyes are red,
I can tell whether you cried
'cause you're hurt
or 'cause you're pissed off.
You were a walking corpse.
Jeong-won shows up,
and you're alive again.
Just admit you're in love!
Either way,
there's nothing to worry about.
Every contract expires in the end.
[sighs]
[music fades]
- [door lock beeps]
- [door opens]
[door closes]
If you haven't had supper,
we might as well eat together.
[oven beeps]
What are you doing here, Seo-yeon?
So where's In-ji?
Not home, huh?
[sighs] Tell me why you came.
Well, I have a question
to ask you, Jeong-won.
What did you feel
the first time you saw In-ji?
Haven't you ever wondered,
"Why did she pick her"?
It's no coincidence. Can't be, huh?
[uneasy music playing]
So what is it you're getting at?
I didn't like those slippers you wore.
Wait a sec.
[music fades]
You're not actually gonna leave in those?
Try these on.
[stirring music playing]
[Seo-yeon] Everything became clear to me
once I saw In-ji's face at NM.
Until then, I was repulsed
by the idea of staying with you.
And when I saw her,
I suddenly knew I could work this out,
and we could stay together.
And that's the reason why you picked her,
so we could work things out together?
[electronic music playing]
I assumed I was the one who was shattered.
I was wrong.
Now I'm realizing it was you all along.
Then just end the marriage.
That one's on you.
All it's gonna do is
push us further apart.
I'll head out.
Enjoy your dinner, sweetheart.
[music fades]
You should be more than satisfied
with the alimony.
We're liable for breach of contract,
after all.
Well, how about a settlement instead?
We could take you to court
for pushing psychotropic medication
and filming illegally.
Does that sound good?
Why bullshit Jeong-won?
He didn't seem to know yet.
Because I don't know how
to explain the situation.
I'm not sure yet.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not hesitating
out of respect for you, okay?
I guess you just don't want Jeong-won
to get hurt, do you?
You're a fake. We know it's true.
And yet you're scared
I'll take your place.
Isn't that the reason we're here?
[chuckles]
[commentator 1] No conditions
for a football match.
[commentator 2] You can see it
from the stadium as well
if you look at
the front couple of rows of seats.
Empty seats.
Tuesday evening, cold and wet.
No one's gonna be filling stadiums out
with games like this today
Been a while since soccer was on TV.
I'm surprised you can watch it right now.
If you wanna watch with me,
would you just say it?
[scoffs]
Oh, sure. I bet you'd love that.
[commentary continues indistinctly]
Sorry I said
that you were immature earlier.
And what about
the "me being selfish" part, huh?
Let's call it even, okay?
I mean, you didn't handle it well either.
[Jeong-won] Didn't you tell me
to go back to my mansion or something?
And now here you are
in my place right now.
You're holding a grudge?
I just can't let it go.
It's the first time
anyone's told me off, so
[chuckles]
You know what? You were right.
[gentle piano music playing]
First, I was just doing it
purely out of spite.
Then I got stubborn.
Toward the end,
I was standing vigil at the apartment
'cause it meant everything to me.
After he left,
the apartment was like a hollow shell.
I realized that I was the hollow shell.
That's why I couldn't move on.
You think you'll start over with Do-ha
once our contract is done?
Are you just waiting
for this to end first? Hmm?
I was wondering that as well.
Do you think
you'll start over with Seo-yeon?
[breathes deeply]
[Ji-o] You two aren't compatible.
Both of you know it,
and you're lying to yourselves.
Well, I chose Jeong-won.
[music fades]
Listen. You need this marriage, okay?
It's the best thing for you.
Is that right?
We're equally spiteful.
[chuckles]
At least tell me
you'll honor the contract.
It's not your fault
that we're terminating it early.
They will know that, okay?
You think I'm worried about that?
What's with this
self-destructive attitude?
Why are you being so reckless?
Get over here.
[sighs]
Would you?
[intriguing piano music playing]
[intriguing piano music continues]
[sighs]
[phone buzzing]
[Do-ha] I guess we should meet up.
[In-ji] Let's grab a bite.
Hey, I'm gonna head over to the unit.
Will it take a while?
Uh, no.
Have a good time, okay?
[music fades]
[keypad beeping]
- [door lock beeps]
- [door opens]
[door lock beeps]
[In-ji] I made you some doenjang jjigae.
It's ready now.
Take a seat.
Go for it.
I think I must've over-seasoned it.
Oh, I made egg rolls as well.
There's kimchi too. I should go get it.
[Do-ha sighs] Aren't you a little
curious what my meals look like
without you?
I knew I should've put in less doenjang.
It's because this stuff is homemade.
Hey, In-ji,
stop it, all right?
Everything started going wrong
the moment I met you.
Your mother wasn't at fault.
You were.
We were happy as we were.
There wasn't some need for me to change.
And it felt like we didn't need
other people's approval.
Then you ruined my life
with your selfishness.
Do you still feel like blaming me
for leaving you alone here
and running off by myself?
You're wrong.
I really thought I might be a monster.
After I cut ties with everyone
and I was boarding the flight,
I felt like
I was losing my entire identity.
I have this question, "Who am I?"
And I wanted to ask you.
But I was so afraid to see you.
I simply could not do it.
I wanted to blame you for everything,
but even that hurt me so bad.
Why'd you do this to me? Why, In-ji?
[Do-ha sighs]
In-ji, why'd you make it
so I couldn't bring myself to see you?
[sniffles]
[exhales sharply]
I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe
if I ever saw you again.
Turns out I can.
You know,
I felt horrible about what I did to you.
See, I contemplated killing myself
and killing you.
Actually, most nights, I prayed
that I wouldn't wake up in the morning,
that I'd be wiped out.
Every single day was a living hell,
and yet I stayed here by myself
and stuck it out.
I'd think,
"Wait a little longer."
"He'll come back and sit down
like any other day."
Day two.
Day three.
More days.
Hundreds.
As time went by and I waited,
my wish started to change.
I hoped you'd come back
just so it would end.
I knew I didn't have the strength
to end it myself.
And I prayed for you to return.
Like I was begging for a merciful death.
Do-ha
you were gone for so long.
How could you hide from me for five years?
How could you
I mean, you could've told me something.
[wistful music playing]
All you had to do is reach out and say,
"This marriage is over for good!"
[sobs]
[exhales sharply, sobs]
[sniffles]
[both sob]
I know I should have
had this conversation with you years ago.
And I really needed
to hear this years ago.
[sniffles]
In-ji, I'm so sorry.
In-ji
I'm grateful
you carried on and didn't choose suicide.
[wistful music continues]
- [In-ji] Okay. Like that? One.
- [Do-ha] That's it.
- [In-ji] And two
- And two Hey!
- [In-ji] Hang on.
- Whoa!
[In-ji] Wait, no! [screams] Whoa!
- That's it.
- You're supposed to hold me up!
[both exclaim, laugh]
[In-ji] That hurt.
You're doing the dishes?
You get a gold star!
Oh, great. Hey, let's do that tofu stew.
The spicy kind?
Oh my God. Soft tofu stew
sounds incredible right now.
Makgeolli?
- Bright little fins.
- Look at her.
[both laugh]
Why don't you try
putting yourself in my shoes, okay?
When the hell are you gonna grow up?
This isn't cute, Do-ha.
You're probably looking for sympathy,
but I can't do that
'cause you're driving me crazy here.
Just admit you're afraid!
You're
just like your mother, you know that?
[music fades]
[sighs]
[sentimental music playing]
[phone buzzing]
- [Jeong-won] Where are you?
- [phone buzzing]
I'm worried about you. Come home.
[Jeong-won] Did you have a good time?
[In-ji sobs]
[In-ji crying]
[crying continues]
[crying continues]
[poignant piano music playing]
Did you break down because of him?
Oh, no.
I saw you and, before I knew it
Mostly, I felt
I don't know. I felt happy.
You cried like a baby
'cause I was there?
[chuckles]
I was happy to see you
cry like that.
[poignant piano music continues]
So what do you like?
I mean, side dishes.
[music fades]
I don't really have preferences.
Any music?
Do you like film scores and stuff?
Wanna come see me at work?
That sounds good.
You let me know a time. Is tomorrow too
That's great, In-ji.
Okay.
[Hyeon-cheol] Kids, it's time to eat.
Hwan, Gwan. Get over here.
Your mom's tired, all right?
[sighs]
Boys, sit down!
Get your butts over here.
- [boy 1] Hey, stop! That's mine.
- [sighs]
[boy 2] No, it's mine!
Whoa, hey! Hold still, hold still,
or you're gonna get hurt.
You think I should start working again?
- You're hogging it!
- I don't know if I'm cut out for this.
Imagine hiring tutors
and sending the kids to private school.
Then throw in a nanny
to pick them up afterward.
We'd be in the red, no doubt.
- [boy 1] Give it here!
- [boy 2] I don't want to.
- [boy 1] Give it back. It's mine.
- I know. It's basically hell.
- [boy 1] Come on!
- [boy 2] Ugh! You're being so unfair!
[Hyeon-cheol] All done. Go on.
[boy 2] Let's go!
[boys laugh]
[boy 2] Let's go, let's go!
[Yoon-a groans]
- [boys shouting indistinctly]
- [Yoon-a sighs]
[Hyeon-cheol sobs]
- Are you crying 'cause I wanna get a job?
- [sniffles]
Uh Jesus, time flies, huh?
The kids' toenails.
They used to be so soft,
but now they're getting hard.
It feels different when I clip them now.
They're growing into little adults.
They're gonna start slamming the door
on us when they're teenagers.
[crying]
It's just getting to me.
[sniffles, sobs]
There, there. It's okay, honey.
We'll always have each other, right?
[moans]
[sighs] Let's grow old together, honey.
I love you.
You too.
[Hyeon-cheol sighs]
[siren wailing]
[uneasy music playing]
[camera shutters clicking]
[man 1] The body's been
decomposing for a while.
The killer put a sign on the shutters.
The owner left
to study abroad for a month.
Crazy bastard murders a woman,
then prints this crap out here.
[man 2] Hey, what about the CCTV?
[sighs] We got our hands on
the footage from the alleyway.
Unfortunately, this bastard
wiped the pharmacy footage.
[man 2 sighs]
Her neck's been snapped. Clean job.
Not a drop of blood.
The blood we found
has to be the killer's, then.
[man 2] Send it to forensics.
Once they get DNA results,
run it against ex-cons in the system.
You got it, sir.
[man 2 sighs]
[man] Eom Tae-seong
has been following Han Jeong-won.
They've been around
the same locations lately.
It doesn't bode well for the future.
I've notified the company.
I understand.
[stirring music playing]
[stirring music continues]
[phone buzzing]
[phone buzzing]
[music fades]
[Tae-seong] Hi. Hello?
NOH IN-JI
She actually picked up.
In-ji?
Meet me soon.
[sighs] Oh, sure.
When? Uh
- [line disconnects]
- Oh
[stirring electronic music playing]
[phone buzzing]
NOH IN-JI:
CAFE CAVIAR AT 2 P.M.
[stirring electronic music continues]
[exhales sharply]
[music fades]
[pensive music playing]
[music fades]
There's something I'd like to know.
Of course.
Do you harass me and watch my every move
and stalk me just 'cause you like it?
You're probably the only person I can ask.
One thing kept bothering me
while I was in the mental institution.
"Noh In-ji deserves a great life.
Why is she cruel to herself?"
"That's what I'll do."
"I'll tell everyone about
her marriage to Do-ha."
Once I decided that, I felt calmer,
like my head was suddenly clear.
It just felt new.
I guess it was bliss.
[Tae-seong sighs]
And now let me ask you.
Your wedding contract's in the trunk?
[Tae-seong chuckles]
I mean, people might not believe me,
but they have to believe that.
It's material proof.
Once this story gets leaked
to the Internet and the press,
it could be a huge sensation, you know?
I actually paid a visit to the flat
'cause I thought it was there.
Took a knife in the thigh.
It was Seo Do-ha.
[chuckles]
Man, that guy was such a loser.
He's changed.
[exhales sharply]
Because of him,
I had to murder a woman that night.
[chuckles]
Who did you kill? What are you saying?
Why do I disgust you?
You're that bewildered?
[stirring music playing]
I'm done with this.
I have things to do.
[eerie music sting plays]
[music recording playing]
[man 2] Right, let's cut it there.
- [Jeong-won humming]
- [man 1] Get rid of that.
[man 2] Sounds good to me.
[man 1] Lower it a little.
[humming stops]
[whispers] Uh, he's acting weird.
[phone buzzing]
[groans]
Work five more minutes, then go.
I'll take care of the rest.
That track sounds great.
[door opens]
- What is going on with that guy?
- [door closes]
Good news, I bet.
[In-ji] Hey, I'll be
at the parking garage soon.
[Jeong-won] Wait right there.
I'll be down in a sec.
[car alarm beeps]
[uneasy music playing]
[panting]
Tell me what you're doing here right now.
It's just
you never answered the question.
Why do I disgust you?
I mean, you hated me from day one,
and I hadn't done anything to you yet.
We barely knew each other, In-ji.
But you hated me
as soon as you laid eyes on me.
So tell me why.
That wasn't true with Jeong-won.
[sighs]
Speaking of which,
would you give me attention, In-ji,
if I murdered Jeong-won?
I'll do it.
You're not going to hurt Jeong-won.
I won't let you.
Then just tell me.
Why are you choosing Jeong-won?
Let go. [grunts]
- [Tae-seong] Hmm?
- [grunts]
Say it. Why are you
- Back off!
- [In-ji screams]
[car alarm blaring]
[In-ji gasps]
[laughing]
[both grunting]
[Tae-seong grunting]
[Tae-seong chuckles]
[Jeong-won] Crazy piece of shit!
Die!
Die motherfucker!
- Die!
- [Tae-seong cackles]
- Fucker!
- Jeong-won, stop it!
Wait! Stop!
Jeong-won, stop!
[both panting]
[laughs]
[music swells]
- [Jeong-won pants]
- [Tae-seong groans]
[electronic music playing]
[electronic music continues]
[electronic music continues]
[gunshots]
[music fades]
[Hyeon-cheol] You told me you went
to shooting ranges with your dad,
but this is insane.
Didn't you say he'd drag you along,
and you didn't wanna go, huh?
What's going on?
'Cause after that, didn't you say
you wouldn't pick up a gun?
My God! Do you still have
that gun in your house?
That thing looked so badass, right?
Your dad's gun.
And it's not registered, right?
[Jeong-won] Have you
ever thought of killing anyone?
Hell yeah. A lot of times,
I wanna blow your head off.
[unsettling music playing]
You really wanna kill someone?

CONFRONTATION
WITH DEPUTY MANAGER NOH IN-JI
[phone ringing]
[woman] Deputy Manager Noh In-ji is here.
Okay, show her inside.
[phone line disconnects]
PHYSICAL ALTERCATION
WITH CLIENT HAN JEONG-WON
[door opens]
If this is about Eom Tae-seong,
we're coming up with a solution right now.
I know. I want to discuss my employment.
Once I finish the current marriage
I've been assigned to,
I'd like to leave the company.
So does this
just have to do with Mr. Seo?
Oh, no.
As an employee, I'm not productive.
I just think that, at this point,
I'm quite unfit for this.
That's just silly.
No other single NM employee
gets these sorts of results.
I think it's best for the company
if I quit right now.
Eom Tae-seong could put
the company at risk if I don't leave.
Knowing him, it could be
that if I move on, he won't be an issue.
If that's what's on your mind,
we'll do everything in our power
to stop him.
I've made my decision already.
I do appreciate your mentorship.

[inhales deeply]
Mmm
Oh! That's potent. Vending machine.
Ah, it's great.
Yirgacheffe's always been
a favorite of mine.
[laughs]
Here you are.
The CEO's coming to see
someone like me 'cause In-ji's quitting.
Do you have any idea why she's quitting?
I guess it's because of Tae-seong.
If you killed him,
things wouldn't have gotten crazy.
Just kidding.
God, you look like
a monk with freaky eyes. [laughs]
[chuckles]
Long before this,
she had issues with Tae-seong.
Naturally, I figured
there was another reason.
I think it's over
between her and the flat owner.
So that means
your business is to create good matches,
but those relationships still take
some devotion from both parties to work.
It's not just a contract.
They're bound to either hate each other
or bond and develop
a real attraction and feelings.
I'm sorry. You're saying
she's doing this for Jeong-won,
not Eom Tae-seong?
Take it from someone experienced.
I married three times
and divorced three times.
Couples can put up with material problems
like money and career issues,
but nobody will put up
with a lack of love.
It's phony, but people would
have a tough time
holding back their feelings.
They're people, after all.
You know In-ji. How do you think
she'd deal with this?
You're saying she might be leaving us
'cause she's in love with an NM client?
[Do-dam] God, that's bitter.

MR. KIM
Hello, Mr. Kim.
[stirring music playing]
[chandelier tinkling]
[Mr. Kim] The CCTV technician we hired
came across it during the installation.
He said an expert must have put them in.
Shall I take care of it?
[connect tone]
[Ji-o] You need to get home right away.
I think Jeong-won knows
you're watching now.
[breathes deeply]
[disconnect tone]
[tires squealing]

OPEN DOOR

Let's pretend you never found them, okay?

RECENT CALLS
NOH IN-JI
Listen, we've examined
the gallery on Tae-seong's phone,
and there were
a whole lot of pictures of you in there.
Why didn't you call the cops on him?
Oh, I did.
A few times.
I was told
there was nothing that could be done
unless someone died or got hurt.
[sighs]
[stirring music playing]
Took a knife in the thigh.
It was Seo Do-ha.
Because of him,
I had to murder a woman that night.
[man] We found Tae-seong's blood
at the scene. Plenty of his prints too.
But even though that pharmacy case
is all wrapped up now,
and we're not gonna be able
to prosecute him,
we still have a duty to catch criminals,
even if a bad guy got killed here.
We've gone over
all the places Tae-seong went.
We noticed he was always around
people in your orbit.
He broke into an apartment
and assaulted Han Jeong-won, and so on
Okay. And?
[breathes deeply]
I've been thinking.
Who would have the motive to kill him?
Who hated the guy
to the extent they'd want him gone?
So, In-ji,
tell us where you were that day.
On the water.
