she sounded so surprised

I couldn't get that off my mind

that's why I kept calling you

She must've been embarrassed

you found out

What Im saying is if she

had a history of bankruptcy,

She would know that she

can't get credit cards

But, her reaction was as if

she never knew about this

She must have known

when she applied, right?

IFather

What?

Damn it it's my father

We gotta find her first I don't

care about anything else

Not even the police can find her we don't

know her name we know nothing

You said Kang Seon-Yeong

was a different person

Who is this person then?

That'll be 1.50

Thank you

- Hey! You on the bike!

- Me?

Look at you your pockets

are bulging with beer cans

What do you care?

I saw you steal them Im a cop

What the f? Hey!

Cop, my ass!

You little piece of crap!

Stop, right there

Not me, dumbass

My ex-Colleague here,

He was the best we had

when he was in active service

Pay attention, man

Im talking here

Guess he's turning

into a shy old man

Well, I arranged this meeting

at your request, Mr. Kang

- It's Yang Min-Gu

- That's right, Mr. Yang

Didn't I say yang?

Anyway, this guy was a legend

He never forgets the face he saw

Sharp as an eagle's eye,

his arrest rates were incredible

How unfortunate

this happened to you

I'm unlucky in general

I got sacked for taking bribes

let's have a drink

I'm honored that a veteran

officer will take charge of

The security at our warehouse

I hope it won't bore you too much

you know what this business is like

Of course I told him

all about that

Have another drink

drink with me, Mr. Kang?

Wait a minute

what are you saying?

The company is happy

to take you on

On the condition that you

find a consignor for a loan

Can it be arranged?

It's a no brainer

you need this job

That sneaky bastard!

What's he playing at? F***ing bastard

Think about your wife

she doesn't deserve this

Do I deserve it?

I wasn't the only one

that took bribes

I told you to go easy

- Shall we get more drink elsewhere?

- Screw you! I'm not drinking with you

What! You said I should

find a consignor

This is all of her stuff

Her unexplained absence and all...

it doesn't look good for the company

I think it's best if you didn't

come here anymore Im sorry

What a beautiful house! No wonder

you don't come to the city any more

Aren't you lonely, though?

I was at first,

but you get used to it

I get busy with work and

looking after my babies

Hodu is a lucky boy

Hi, Mun-Ho!

Do you remember me?

How are you, Hodu's mom?

I was in town and thought I would

stop by look how big he got!

He really has, hasn't he?

I'll just get changed

The country must be doing her good

look how healthy she got

Her cottage has an open land

of over 10,000 sq. ft.

She adopted two more

retrievers recently

- Mun-Ho

- Hey,

I'm sorry but you think you

can finish up on your own?

I need to leave early

I'm sorry

Hi, Mi-Yeon...

hey

It's me, Mun-Ho

can I come in for a second?

Look how big you got!

Remember uncle Mun-Ho?

Of course not

Mi-Yeon's looking after

the shop on her own?

We just do our jobs

And live our separate lives

How's your father?

Doing as well as ever?

Look, I got a favor for you

What? You got a favor for me?

You know what?

I've got one for you too

I need to find someone

it's urgent

What the f***?

You think Im a private detective?

Jong-Geun

She's my fiance we're getting

married next month

You show up in the middle of the night

and tell me you're getting married?

Congrats-The-F***-Tulation!

Where is my invitation?

Why is everyone treating me like

a piece of crap today? What the f***

No. Hear me out this is

my fiance, Seon-Yeong

We were on our way

To tell my folks

about the wedding

And she just vanished

at the rest stop

A lot of women freak out

before the wedding

That's not it

I reported her missing

I visited her workplace but she

stopped coming into work

And it turns out

she's not Seon-Yeong

This is the girl Im marrying

and I don't know who she is

I can't reach her

through anyone

I gotta find her

Before my folks find out

you know what my father is like

You gotta help me there is

no one else I can turn to

Can't go to the police because

I don't know her real name

You're not making

any f***ing sense

Start again from the beginning

and you're paying me, right?

Look what we have here

They've been going out

for about a year

What did she tell

you about herself?

Hometown, old friends anything

She hardly talked about her home

since her mother passed away,

She had nowhere to go on holidays

so, she stayed home mostly

Didn't have any friends either I was

helping her with the wedding

Someone assumes your identity

without you being aware,

What would that be like?

How can you not know?

Everything overlaps if you have

the same residency number

She was about to register her marriage

how can you not know?

Unless they know each other

That's a peacock butterfly's pupa

- Peacock butterfly?

- Yes

She asked whether butterflies

can be kept as pets

Mun-Ho told her it's possible

She asked him to get

her a caterpillar

That's an empty cocoon

transformation occurs in 10 days

No friends, no family

And no fingerprints

Who is she?

The records will take some

time to come through

I'm curious to find out too

give me your wallet

My wallet? Hey, did you

find the consignor?

- What the hell are you doing?

- Get me some sandwiches

Your skin's growing thicker by day

Can I get the cheapest sandwich?

It's that box

It's the stuff she left behind

couldn't throw them out

You must have been quite thrown

Exactly!

She just left a note

and took off

- You didn't keep the note?

- Why would I hold on to that?

She said sorry for leaving suddenly and

left 30 bucks to throw away her stuff

She did?

Have you seen this person?

Could be her friend

I have never seen her

I see Ill take this with me

Thank you

Ms. Kang Seon-Yeong came for

treatment in July and august 2008

That was the last visit

she got treated for atopic dermatitis

Kang Seon-Yeong disappeared

Two months later on May 2,

she moved to this address

It was a different Kang Seon-Yeong

that moved here

Her resume's phony

She used Kang's bank account

who had a personal bankruptcy

She intentionally assumed

Kangs identity

And was going to marry you

She intended to live

the rest of her life as Kang

If the real Kang emerges,

Everything will clear up

If she ever emerges

The day your fiance vanished,

her account was cleared out

She's not planning to come back

Why don't you tell your parents

the truth and drop this?

Let's call it a day here

I just don't understand

Why she wanted to live

as another person

Must be hard for you

to understand

But, there are all kinds

of people out there

Someone assumed her identity

And was planning to get married

And all the time,

the real Kang Seon-Yeong

Never showed up

- Can this be a coincidence?

- What are you suggesting?
