Helpless

Aren't you tired?

Why don't you take a nap?

Mun-Ho, will she like the scarf?

You're still thinking about that?

You worry for nothing

of course she'll love it

It's perfect now

don't you worry, baby

How do you know what color

she likes? Do you really?

Did you ask her?

I don't need to ask that

Something bright

and doesn't look aged

Moms love that kind

of style, don't they?

You're nonchalant about everything

No, Im not it's true

my mom loves bright colors

Why don't you believe me?

I do

Let's have some trust here

Im telling you

- Stay out of rain

- Don't worry, Ill run

Can you get me some coffee?

Cold medicine is making me drowsy

Why don't you take a nap? Coffee on

an empty stomach can make you sick

Anything else? I'll be right back

Hello?

Where did she go? Jesus!

This is a public announcement

ICould Ms. Kang Seon-Yeong from Seoul

please come to the help desk?

Lee dong-Woo

I'm sorry, man

can I call you back?

What the hell?

- You should look where you're going!

- I'm sorry

Excuse me, are there

restrooms elsewhere?

There's one over there

IOh my god! No, honey! It's dirty

- You were on your way to Andong?

- Yes to meet the parents

IYour fiances?

Lee dong-Woo

No... mine Seon-Yeong's folks

have passed away

Mr... Jang Mun-Ho?

Your contact number, please?

This is my veterinary clinic

you can reach me here anytime

Cell number is on the bottom

Great thank you

Shouldn't you put

this in there, too?

You can hold on to that

Is that it? What do I do now?

We'll contact you

if there is any development

Or maybe she'll contact her friend

in the next few days

As it turns out quite often

You don't understand

the engine was running

It was pouring down

and the car door was open

She barely ate lunch to avoid

Spilling something

on her new dress

Are you telling me that a woman

who's getting married in a month

Walked out onto the motorway

in pouring rain with no umbrella?

Without realizing her hair pin fell out?

Does that make sense to you?

I found this pin on the floor

of public restroom, damn it!

Hi, dad...

Seon-Yeong suddenly felt unwell

I'm sorry I didn't call earlier

Yes, dad

I'll send you the wedding

invitation by mail yeah

I'm really sorry, dad

- Hey, man!

- Where are you?

II'm near your clinic

Listen, Im sorry

can I call you back?

IIs Seon-Yeong there with you?

Did she say anything?

What about?

You know you came into

my office last week

To open a new account and

apply for a credit card for her

What about that?

Her records showed a history

of personal bankruptcy

Bankruptcy?

IOur records show that

you filed for bankruptcy

IDue to credit card

debt back in 2007

Hey... does Mun-Ho

know about this?

Hello?

Then, she just hung up which

made me feel awkward

That's why I kept

trying to reach you

You should have talked

to me about that!

Why did you ask her about it?

God damn it!

There could have been a mistake

or the bank got something mixed up

That's why I wanted to

check with her quietly

And, look at this

see for yourself

These are the exemption papers

sent to the creditors

It's from 4 years ago

get your act together, man

It tickles

Stop it!

Let's get married

Huh?

Let's do that

Marry me

We're getting married

Im marrying you

What if we get married?

What then?

What then?

We'll live happily ever after

I'll make money

you'll spend it

I'll cook and you'll eat it

We'll make babies that look

just like you and live like that

Can we really do that?

She didn't come to work her phone was

switched off I was getting worried

Does she have anyone other than

you at work she is close with?

Who she has lunch with?

I'm not sure

Then, perhaps... did she tell

you about her friends

From her previous job?

I'm really sorry but

Do you think you can let me have a look

at her resume from when she joined?

I'll ask my boss about it

I would really appreciate

that thank you

Morning! Mommy's here

let's get you breakfast

Excuse me?

There is no such company?

No, I just wanted to ask...

actually, Im looking for someone

She worked there from July 2007 to May 2009

her name is Kang Seon-Yeong

Hello? Is this Daeyang engineering?

Yes, October 2007

Your company was

founded in 2008?

There is no record of Kang Seon-Yeong

working in administration?

I see thank you

Mun-Ho?

We used to be best friends then we lost

touch Im trying to get her old address

Yeah, I really appreciate

this 2002, that's right

Her name is Kang Seon-Yeong

You got her, right? Yes, class 3-3

that's right. Thank you yes

This is the address they have

in the graduation album

You never visited her

hometown with her?

She said she had no one there

since her mother died

I talked about it a few times but she

didn't seem excited about going back

- I got it thanks

- Sure

Mr. Jang?

There are two things that

multiply like a snowball

It's lies and debt

Her initial overdue amount

was 350 dollars

By the time she filed for bankruptcy,

it was over 80 grand

We ran a free bankruptcy

advice program 4 years ago

I was in charge of her case

and obtained exemption ruling

When did she visit you last?

Did she leave her contact detail?

She visited again when her

mother died it was 2 years ago

She came to inquire about

the life insurance claim

- Life insurance?

- Yes

Her mother's policy was about 50 grand

I processed that to her, too

This is her file and her statement

She worked for a holiday home group

then transferred to Seoul office

And her credit card bill increased

She starts getting overdue amounts,

takes out credit loans to pay that

You can never pay off

the high interest

And you resort to subprime loans

IThat's pretty much

the standard course

So, you don't have the contact

information of her next of kin?

She didn't have anyone

other than her mother

Excuse me but I have to be somewhere

if you're finished with this...

no, wait! Do you take the statements

on your clients' behalf?

No, they write them themselves

It's just that the handwriting

is completely different

- Really?

- Yes

Give me that

- This is who you're enquiring about?

- Yes

Then, you have mistaken

this is not miss Kang

- I've never seen her before

- Excuse me?

Look they're different people

But, their resident registration

number is identical

I don't understand

how this can be

Hi... what's your name?

I'm Mun-Ho Jang Mun-Ho

Kang Seon-Yeong

So, it's Seon-Yeong

miss Kang Seon-Yeong

What do you mean

she's not Kang Seon-Yeong?

You sure they weren't mistaken?

Dong-Woo say something

Did you show them her picture?

Did you check with them?

They've never seen her

they're completely different people

She was using

someone's name illegally

Come on!

She was going to marry Mun-Ho

under someone else's name?

- Does that even make sense?

- Of course not

When I called her yesterday
