Ep 17

FADE IN:

INT. KIM TAE HYUNG'S ROOM – KIM RESCIDENCE – NIGHT

Tae Hyung jolts awake, his eyes wide with terror. His breathing is highly irregular, reliving the gut-wrenching moment he strangled Y/n.

TAE HYUNG: What was... that... It was me...?

He looks around, coming to his senses.

TAE HYUNG: Y/n.

He sits up, and grabs his phone, stealing a glance at the time – 3 am.

He pulls up Y/n's number, his finger only a few millimeters away from pressing the call button.

TAE HYUNG: It was just a dream...

He runs his hand over his hair and sighs.

TAE HYUNG: It's nothing... obviously it isn't.

He throws his phone on the bed and drops his head on to his palms.

He whines, and sits up straight again, staring at his phone.

TAE HYUNG: What's wrong with me? ...God.

He grabs his phone aggressively, and calls Y/n. It rings for a minute.

TAE HYUNG: Come on.

It goes unanswered, Tae Hyung looks at his phone and dials her number again.

TAE HYUNG: Come on... Pick up.

Still no answer.

He gets on his feet, when his phone rings – A restricted number.

He answers immediately.

TAE HYUNG: Y-

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: (Yawns) Isn't it late there?

Hearing her voice, Tae Hyung eases, and falls back on his bed, relieved.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Ya! Hello?

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Hi-Hi.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Did something happe-

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: I just wanted to check on you. Sorry, were you sleeping?

Y/n yawns again.

CUT TO:

EXT. HELIPAD – PARIS - EARLY EVENING

Y/n stretches her free arm outward as she finishes yawning. She walks toward the H on the helipad, admiring the view around her.

Y/N [INTO PHONE]: I was.

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: Sorry...I'll hang up now.

Y/n comes to a halt. Her face flickers a little, confused but mainly suspicious.

Y/N [INTO PHONE]: What's wrong?

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: Nothing, like I said I was just checking on you. You know...

Y/N [INTO PHONE]: Yeah, I know... If you have nothing else to say, I want to sleep and you should too.

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: Right... Go back to sleep... bye.

Y/n hangs up and stares at her phone.

The sound of an approaching helicopter catches her attention. She looks up and waits, as it makes its way to the helipad.

Y/N: Let's get this over with.

CUT TO:

INT. REDEYE TECH BUILDING – AFTERNOON

Tae Hyung sips his coffee, staring ahead, lifeless, the cause – His recurring nightmare.

HO SEOK: I'm pretty sure he's dead.

He shakes his head watching Tae Hyung from afar and turns to Nam Joon, standing next to him.

NAM JOON: I agree.

Tae Hyung gets on his feet, Ho Seok follows his gait and tilts his head trying to decipher his thoughts.

HO SEOK: Certified zombie.

Tae Hyung flinches hearing his phone ring, he looks at with trepidation, like he had forgotten what the device was used for.

TAE HYUNG: Hello.

He snaps into reality hearing the voice on the other side.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: It got what? It got rejected?

He blinks and the expression in his eyes is changed to fury.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Do you want me to spoon feed all the answers to you? You knew how important this was-

He stops himself, suppressing his anger. He takes a deep breath, lowering his voice.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Set up a meeting, I'll meet him in person and do it myself.

He pinches the bridge of his nose with annoyance.

SPLATTER!! Tae Hyung turns around and looks at Ho Seok who's spit his coffee out.

Tae Hyung's eyebrows furrow when he locks eyes with a very wide-eyed Ho Seok.

HO SEOK: Tae Hyung...

TAE HYUNG: What?

He points to the big screen behind, with his gaze still fixated on a confused Tae Hyung.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: I wasn't talking to you.

His gaze flicks to the screen playing a news channel, Nam Joon increases the volume.

REPORTER: Ms. Seo has been arrested as a suspect in the White Swan murders.

Tae Hyung freezes as an image of Y/n appears on the screen. His eyes slowly widen, the more he listens.

REPORTER: What's surprising is that Labyrinth had solved the case themselves, in fact. Shocking, isn't it Mr. Chae?

Tae Hyung's phone falls out of his hands, and crashes to the ground.

NAM JOON: Her phone's still in Paris...

HO SEOK: What the hell is going on?

Tae Hyung stumbles back, onto the wall behind him. Nam Joon's speedy fingers work the keyboard searching for answers.

NAM JOON: Okay...she's going to be detained for 48 hours for questioning in the Jeju crimes unit. Wait... She turned herself in?

TAE HYUNG: 48 HOURS? WHEN DID SHE EVEN GET TO JEJU?!

He clutches his hair and walks in circles completely losing his mind.

TAE HYUNG: White Swan murders?

NAM JOON: The murderer who targeted high school students for over a decade without getting caught...Y/n caught him!

Tae Hyung doesn't react.

NAM JOON: The time you became a die-hard fan of Labyrinth.

TAE HYUNG: Exactly!! Why is she a suspect?!

NAM JOON: It says here, she threatened and attempted murder on an innocent man to make him confess to the crime. He was found dead before the police could arrest him; they found the murder weapon used on him with her prints on it.

TAE HYUNG: 48 HOURS?!

He races out of the office.

CUT TO:

INT. LABYRINTH OFFICE – DAY

Tae Hyung sprints in to the office, he clutches onto the door to bring himself to a halt. His eyebrows furrow finding Jungkook, Yoongi and Jin packing their things into boxes, oblivious to his presence.

TAE HYUNG: What's going on?

He catches his breath.

YOONGI: I see you heard about Y/n.

He continues placing his files into the big box on his desk. Tae Hyung's bemused beyond words.

TAE HYUNG: Wh-What's happening?

JUNGKOOK: We got fired.

TAE HYUNG: What?

JIN: Y/n fired us.

TAE HYUNG: Why in the world would she...

JUNGKOOK: Labyrinth is going to crumble now that Y/n's identity has been revealed.

TAE HYUNG: Does that matt-We have to get her out!

JIN: We can't do anything. Ok?! Not us not even her Dad!

TAE HYUNG: You're just leaving?!

YOONGI: She asked us to.

TAE HYUNG: Well, she's in jail now, do you know the things that can happen to her-?

He watches them lift their boxes up, done packing their things.

TAE HYUNG: Stop!

JIN: We're sorry, Tae Hyung. We really are.

They walk right past him and out the door, Tae Hyung stares after them with contempt. He holds his forehead, feeling a nasty migraine coming his way.

TAE HYUNG: What just happened?

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET – JEJU CRIMES UNIT – AFTERNOON

Tae Hyung makes his way onto the street leading to the police station. Reporters swarm the station, whose gates have been locked.

TAE HYUNG: What do I do?

He tries making his way in to the compound when an officer stops him.

OFFICER: Sir! You're not allowed to come in.

TAE HYUNG: Ugh-I'm a close friend of Seo Y/n, she's being deta-

OFFICER: She's a threat to everyone, sir. You're not allowed inside.

TAE HYUNG: That's not true-

OFFICER: Only her lawyer can go in. I understand you're worried but you have to corporate.

TAE HYUNG: Let me just talk to her. I can help.

The officer bows.

OFFICER: I'm sorry sir.

He extends an arm, signaling him to leave.

Tae Hyung gets the message.

The officer goes to help his colleagues calm the other reporters going crazy as Tae Hyung turns to leave.

TAE HYUNG: What do I do?

He bumps into a man walking past him, both of them are oblivious to the accident.

TAE HYUNG: Think, think... what would she do?

He suddenly remembers something. His feet pick up pace and he runs away.

CUT TO:

INT. KIM TAE HYUNG'S ROOM – AFTERNOON

Tae Hyung leaps inside, the door slams behind him with a loud thud.

TAE HYUNG: It's under there...

He races to his bed and kneels beside it. Shoving his hand under he traces the wood with his fingers.

TAE HYUNG: Come on.

He shoves his hand deeper, a thud of something else dropping when he pulls his hand back holding a small chip. Confused by the thud he leans down and stares at the dagger on the floor. It's hard to understand what he's feeling when he has no emotions portrayed on his face.

TAE HYUNG: What if-

He's interrupted by his ringing phone. He sits up as he retrieves his phone – Restricted number.

He swipes to answer.

TAE HYUNG [CAUTIOUS]: Hello?

? [OVER PHONE]: You must be running all over the place to free your lovely Y/n.

Tae Hyung's eyes narrow with rage.

? [OVER PHONE]: Does little Tae Hyung want to meet Y/n? Do you miss her that much already?

Tae Hyung grips his phone harder.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Where is she?

? [OVER PHONE]: Should I tell her, or will you? You know? About who you really are.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: I'm not going to spare you-

? [OVER PHONE]: Look we both want the same things, answers and Y/n. So, let's meet first? Huh?

Tae Hyung grabs the dagger.

TAE HYUNG: Sure.

He stares down at the dagger in his hand, wild thoughts sprinting in his mind.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE VILLAGE OF BUKCHON HANOK – SEOUL

Tae Hyung's car screeches into a halt. He steps out of the car and starts searching for the man he's supposed to meet.

TAE HYUNG: Where is that scum-

CHEF DUNE: Over here!

Tae Hyung spins around, Chef Dune waves at Tae Hyun with the most psychopathic smile on his face.

CHEF DUNE: Hi!

TAE HYUNG: Y/n...

Chef Dune holds up an unconscious Y/n.

TAE HYUNG: Y/n!

CHEF DUNE: God, this is hard.

He moves his hand away, Y/n falls to the ground. Tae Hyung races to Chef Dune.

TAE HYUNG: Ya!

Chef Dune laughs and gets on his bike parked behind. Y/n gains consciousness, she lifts her aching head.

Y/N: Ahh...

She looks up and sees Tae Hyung charging in her direction.

Y/N: Don't-Stop.

Chef Dune starts his bike.

TAE HYUNG: You jerk! Let's talk!

Y/n gets on her feet, she comes in between Tae Hyung and chef dune. Tae Hyung stumbles to a halt.

CHEF DUNE: Later kids!

He drives away, Y/n holds Tae Hyung back.

TAE HYUNG: We're not done! Come back here!

Y/N: You found me.

Tae Hyung looks at Y/n.

TAE HYUNG: Y/n...Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

He pulls her into his arms hugging her tightly. Y/n hugs him back.

TAE HYUNG: Thank God. Thank God...you're alive...Are you okay? Please tell me you are.

Y/N: Tae Hyung...

She pushes his dagger into his abdomen.

Y/N: Let's...get started.

FADE OUT.
