Helpless Page #2
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
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,
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?
