Couples ( Keo-peul-jeu / 커플즈 ) (커플즈)

Are we starting now?

I’m nervous.

It’s okay.

This will be fun.

It must’ve been around the end of September.

- 1:30PM on September 21st. - You’re so detailed!

I had a meeting out of the office that day.

I usually take the subway, but the weather was so nice.

- I just felt like taking the bus. - Me too.

But the bus suddenly screeched to a stop

I woke up two hours later at the emergency room,

and she was standing there on the verge of tears.

And that’s how it all started.

It was fate.

COUPLES

MADAGASCAR WE DON'T SERVE COFFEE

- I’m gonna be a good housewife. - You are?

What will you do for me if I do?

Whatever you want, of course.

Really?

- I just have to ask? - Sure. What do you want?

Well...

Money.

- I like money. - Money?

Money to buy a big house for us to grow old in.

- Really? - Uh-huh.

Yeah, Mom?

Didn’t you say we sold that land?

Hey, Kyu-taek.

Could I borrow some cash?

Hey, it’s me.

I know this is out of the blue, but can you be my guarantor?

Hello?

This is the bank, right?

I’m calling about a loan...

One!

- Two! Three! - Ta-da!

Ta-da!

This is our home now, Na-ri!

You said you’d find her in a week.

Is it that you’re lazy, or just bad?

I’m close to finding her.

- Come on. - I’ll have good news soon.

You’ve been saying that for two months, Bok-nam.

Is your detective agency really legit?

I’m having doubts.

- Just wait a little more. - Seriously, Bok-nam...

I’m worried sick about her.

I’m sort of busy right now. Just give it some time, okay?

Fine. Just call me soon.

- I’m going to the restroom. - Okay.

- Have a wonderful night, sir. - So it’s all set?

Good.

That was the last I saw of her.

Just one minute. She’ll be back.

She went to the bathroom and has been gone for two months.

Leaving me a single text message.

I’LL SEND SOMEONE FOR MY THINGS.

Does that make any sense?

It doesn’t make any sense.

It doesn’t make any sense at all!

I’m so sorry.

- Gosh... - Sheesh.

I’m so sorry, sir.

- A ball came out of nowhere. - Are you hurt at all?

No, I’m fine.

- Are you okay? - I’m just... Hang on.

- Is this 911? - But I’m fine, sir.

I was just in a car accident.

I swear, I think my spine popped out of my back and...

Oh my god, I think I’m dying...

- Come to the intersection on... - What are you doing?

- Please, come quick! - Why are you doing this?

What a bad day...

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

- I’ll be with you soon. - Sure.

Pardon?

What?

Oh.

Nothing.

Excuse me...

Everybody freeze!

Move, and you die!

Don’t look up!

We're busy people here!

- I said, don’t move! - Freeze!

- What is with today, goddamn it! - Keep your head down!

Hurry up! Move!

Get all the money!

Excuse me.

Shouldn’t you do something? You’re a cop.

I’m just traffic police.

Don’t traffic police get any training?

This wasn’t in our training program.

Be quiet!

Don't try to be a hero!

Excuse me... Don’t worry so much.

They’ll leave as soon as they get the money.

What are you doing?

You seemed so frightened,

so I wanted to help you feel better.

I’m sorry.

Mister! What are you staring at?

No...

I didn’t!

I didn’t stare!

- You pervert! - What?

- I’m disgusted! - Quiet down!

So she was sexually harassed during the robbery...

- It’s a misunderstanding! - A misunderstanding?

You were exploiting me and blowing into my ear!

- Like this! - No, I didn’t!

I was just breathing because I was talking to you!

- I was just breathing! - No one breathes that heavily!

You blew into my ear and stared at my breasts!

Her breasts?

Detective!

This is all wrong, sir!

We’ll see what the evidence says.

- Why were you at the bank? - Huh?

Well...

I got a loan for a house to live in after I get married.

You’re even engaged?

Fine, then.

Give me your fiancé’s number.

- I can’t reach her right now. - Why not?

She just suddenly disappeared.

Of course she ran away from this pervert.

- That’s not what happened, lady! - You called me lady?

I’m not some old lady!

I wasn’t gonna say this because it was too humiliating,

but this man even grabbed my breasts!

What?

I would’ve let you off easy,

- but this is ridiculous! - I didn’t touch her!

This is unbelievable!

Excuse me, Detective Kim.

Yes?

- The way I see it... - Go on and tell me.

- Did he grab the lady’s butt, too? - Don’t call me lady!

Well, after seeing everything that happened,

I don’t think it was sexual harassment.

You see? She says I didn’t do it!

- Are you sure? - Yes, the way I see it,

he was actually trying to protect this woman.

My goodness! What are you talking about?

Excuse me!

Thank you so much for earlier.

You stopped them from making me a pervert.

I just said what I saw.

Still, thank you so much.

Right.

Okay.

- All right, then. - Okay.

Bye.

- Ae-yeon! - You scared me!

Who’s Prince Charming?

- It’s a long story. - Huh?

Wanna get a drink after work?

You’re buying. I’m broke these days.

No problem.

You go ahead. I have to stop by home first.

What about your husband?

- I’ve got him on a leash. - Lucky bitch.

I keep telling you.

Get over that bastard and find someone new.

- I’m already working on it. - You are?

Is it that Prince Charming?

Ae-yeon!

It’s been one heck of a day.

Yeah.

I don’t think I should go.

Would you look at that?

I even left the bathroom lights on.

I’m just gonna lay low at home.

Give me a call when you close up.

All right. Thanks a lot.

The culprits raided the bank at approximately 2PM.

They threatened people with handguns.

They got it on tape.

...escaped with over 500 thousand dollars.

The robbery lasted only five minutes.

Hello?

Yes.

Oh, the taxi driver!

Yes, sir.

I’m very sorry about earlier...

Excuse me?

Why did you get an MRI done, sir?

You’re not even that hurt.

Please, why don’t I...

I’ll give you 300 dollars, so let’s...

What?

You’re suing me? Look here, sir!

Hello?

Hello?

What kind of a man...

This is the worst day ever.

A thousand dollars?

Goddamn it.
