"Excuse me, Wendy?" "I can't reach the Bran Flakes." " I'll be right there, Mr. O'Donnell." " Thank you." " Here you go." " Thanks." "Where were you?" "What?" "What?" "We were supposed to have dinner." "Oh, my God." "Yeah." "I sat at Dominick's for like an hour waiting for you." " I totally forgot." "I am so sorry." " You forgot?" "Are we sure this isn't just another one of your lies?" "Look, if you don't wanna see me anymore, fine." "But be standup about it." "Say it to my face." " This isn't fair." " No, life isn't fair." "Wendy?" "Can I check out?" "Six-twenty-five." "Okay, you got your fiber, man." "I think you can go now." "Can we talk about this later?" "You know, sometimes people do things that come back to haunt them." "Came in for coffee and heard Wendy was missing." "That guy must have had something to do with it." " Think you could give a description?" " Definitely." "I got a good look at him." "This is my daughter, Sun." "It's from three years ago." "My husband's 60th birthday party." " Now, you said "Sun. "" " That's her real name." "She changed it to Wendy when she turned 21." "Why would anyone take her?" "I don't know, but we're doing our best to find out." "Look, Mrs. Kim, a customer of yours called the police at 4:30 in the morning, said the place had been robbed." " What time do you normally get here?" " Six o'clock." "I wake up early, so I usually work mornings." "Sun comes in at 9." "But didn't you say that she worked the late shift last night?" " She was filling in for her brother, Jin." " Right." "Mrs. Kim, is there any possibility that your daughter was in some kind of trouble and she was the one who took the money from the register and left?" "Not my daughter." "She is responsible girl." "She would not steal from us." "You don't understand." "We were robbed." "My daughter is missing." " Why won't you look for her?" " Mrs. Kim, we are looking for her." "Look, right now we need to keep this area clear." "Let the investigators do their work..." "And I'll keep you updated." " Hey." " Hey." " Anything off the security cameras?" " Nada." "Mrs. Kim said the camera's broken." "Did she know about this guy Wendy was arguing with?" "No, and I asked her about a boyfriend." "She said Wendy doesn't have one." "Well, the witness I just spoke to said the argument seemed very personal." "So maybe things got out of hand, the guy kidnapped her." " And then he made it look like a robbery." " Yeah." "I'd say we should start looking for a boyfriend." "I say you're right." "Looks like a fashion studio in here." " I guess her time at FIT was well spent." " Yup." "The fabrics look pretty high-end." "Look at this." "I'm sure she put every penny she made into her designs." "I love an organized woman." "She's got tax records, student-loan docs insurance info and her SoHoSingles. com profiles." " What, she's Internet dating?" " Yeah." "All Caucasian men in their 20s and early 30s." "All right, listen to this:" ""You looking for love in all the wrong faces?" "Well, your search stops here." "I'm smart, funny and I'm hoping for a long-term relationship. "" " How far back do they go?" " Looks like about five months." " It's probably hard." " What are you talking about?" "Just think about it." "A young girl from a traditional family trying to break out on her own." " It's not easy, Danny." " Are you joking?" "She's got a scholarship, her own apartment, she's beautiful." "Then why is she back at the deli and Internet dating?" " Who knows?" " Okay." "Got it." "The name of the guy she was to meet last night." " George..." " Zousmer." "We got him." "Sun never told me she was Internet dating." " Where did you find this?" " In Wendy's apartment." "When was the last time you saw your sister?" "I worked a double shift and then Sun came and relieved me around 10." " Double shift." "Does that happen a lot?" " Yeah, it's just the way it is." "We've been short-handed ever since my father had a stroke." " How'd you get that?" " Oh, it's..." "It's nothing." "Oh, good." "How'd you get it?" " We were robbed last week, so..." " What?" "You've never told me or your father." "Well, I think he has enough to worry about, Mom." "Hey, why don't you tell us what happened?" "Okay, they came in through the front, and they had a gun." "Get your hands up." " Get your hands up now." " You heard what he said, Jackie Chan." "Now open the drawer and give us the cash." "Don't think about calling the cops unless you got a death wish." " Just take what you want and get out." " I think I'll do that." " Yo, fill it." " Okay." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." " Hurry up." " Don't hurt us, all right?" " Come on." " Okay." "Yo, let's go." "Let's go." "You tell anyone about this, we'll kill you both." "Let's go." "Okay, wait, so let me get this straight." "You left your sister here alone on the late shift after you'd been held up at gunpoint." "Look, I already told you, we're short-staffed." "Yeah, you did tell us that." "Why didn't you file a police report?" " We don't call the police." " Why not?" "You people never do anything when we robbed." "There's no security tape." "I already told you, our cameras are broken." "I'm sorry." "George, according to our reports you were one of the last people to see Wendy." "I don't know what happened to her." "I went straight home after I saw her." " You can ask my doorman." " We spoke to your doorman." "He said that you'd got back around 11:30." "See?" "He also says there's an emergency exit that he disconnects and props open when he wants a cigarette." " You could've snuck out that way." " Why would I do that?" "I don't know." "Do you smoke?" "I swear, I didn't do anything to Wendy." " I really like her." " That's not what the customer thought." "When she didn't show up to dinner, I was worried." "And I go over there, and I see that she's okay." "I'm thinking that she blew me off." "I was..." "I was pissed." " So you stalked her?" " No." " I'm telling you, I was concerned." " How many times have you two dated?" "I don't know." "Last night would've been our fifth date." "Right, so you went out last night looking for a little action." " She stood you up." "You got angry." " It wasn't like that." "Why'd you call her a liar?" "Because she wasn't who she said she was." "Excuse me." "Thanks." "I love these fashion shows." " Thanks." " Free food, free booze." "You know how to treat a guy." "So you guys were in the same class at FIT?" "He was a year behind me." "One of Marc Jacobs' lackeys spotted Jeremy's girlfriend wearing one of his designs at a club." " The rest is history." " I know you're the next one to make it." "You work for this big designer, right?" "She's gotta see how talented you are." "Thank you." " Jeremy!" " You okay?" "Hey, are you okay?" "George, I have to be honest with you about something." " Sounds like breakup talk." " No, no." "Look, if anything, I'm gonna be the dumpee." "All right." "I lied on my profile." "Really?" "Everyone does that." "Listen, I'm sure you know by now I'm not 6-foot-6." "Look, I don't work for a fashion designer." "Not anymore." "I'm a cashier at my family's deli." "I had to quit my job a couple months ago after my dad had a stroke." "Yesterday I had a gun held to my face." " What?" " We were robbed." "They..." "They hit my brother." "They took all of our money." "We probably could've been killed." "I am so sorry." "I don't mean to lay all this on you..." "No, no, no, Wendy, listen." "I'm just happy you'd tell me the truth." "Okay?" "Come here." "And I don't blame her." "I may never have e-mailed her if she had put "deli slave" as her occupation." "Did she ever tell you about any of her Internet boyfriends?" "We swapped a couple of stories, but nothing really sticks out." "She..." "She told me about her ex-fiancé." "She has an ex-fiancé?" "She was trying to break up with this guy for a while and finally did it two months ago." "Two months ago?" "Are you sure?" "That's what she told me." "She said it did not go over very well." "And this..." "This." "I think he had a thin mustache." "Right, right, just a real thin mustache." "Mr. Kim, Mrs. Kim, I'm Special Agent Malone." "I'm heading up the investigation on your daughter." "I'm just curious why you neglected to tell us that Wendy was engaged." "What does that have to do with anything?" "Well, it's possible that her ex-fiancé is involved in her disappearance." "No, you don't understand." "That would never happen." "Steven..." "Hyosung is a good guy." "Do you have any idea why they broke up?" "She wouldn't tell us." "Her father and I were shocked." " What are you talking about?" " I'm sorry, Steven." "You're sorry?" " I guess if you're sorry, I guess it's..." " What is going on?" "Your precious daughter just told me she's calling off the wedding." "You embarrass your family." "Your father wants you to stop this now, Sun." "My name is Wendy." "And, Steven, you know things aren't right." "The wedding's four months away." "What, you just change your mind now?" "Okay, what's going on?" "Dad's upset." "I am sick of everybody pretending they know what's best for me." "I can't do this anymore." "You will marry Hyosung because that is what your father and I decided." " But it's not what I decided." " This is not the place." "No." "No." "I don't love Steven." "I'm not happy." "And I'm not gonna marry him just to please them." "Okay, you know what?" "I'm done with you anyway." "You're lucky I was with you in the first place." "Not many men would marry such a slut." " I wish that you had told us this sooner." " Why?" "Well, Steven was humiliated in front of his family and friends." "Revenge is a strong motive." "I haven't seen Wendy in weeks." "I heard what happened at your engagement party." " Pretty rough." " I didn't do anything to her." " Do you have an alibi for last night?" " I was at a friend's party." " You cheat on her?" " Never." "She was cheating on you." "She'd been dating men from this Internet service for five months." "You've been broken up, what, two?" "I know." " You have an open relationship?" " Not exactly." "I'm gay." "And how long has she known about this?" "I don't know, six months." "She agreed to wait while I figured things out." "You have to understand, all right?" "Coming out is already hard enough." "But a first-born son coming out to his old-world parents?" "It's unthinkable, all right?" "They'd never speak to me again." "I can see that." "My parents always expected I'd run the business someday." "Give them a grandson, carry on the family name." "That's what a son does." "Why did you both agree to make the breakup official?" "We'd already postponed the wedding once and Wendy couldn't take it anymore." " Your parents really went all out, huh?" " Yeah." "It's strange to think I used to be one of those girls." "That was a long time ago, okay?" " Well, you ready?" " I don't think I can do this." "It's better to pull a Band-Aid off all at once than little by little, right?" "Okay." " Okay." "Remember, make it look good." " All right." "And, hey, I'm sorry in advance for anything bitchy I might say." "Right back at you." " What are you talking about?" " I'm sorry, Steven." "Even if I hadn't come out I think she still would've called it quits." "I mean, we loved each other, just not that way." "Any idea why she agreed to take the blame?" "Well, she had something to gain too." "It's not easy for women in our culture." "Mr. And Mrs. Kim want her to go to law school marry a Korean man and have babies." " And that's not who she is." " Not even close." "You ever meet any of the men she dated?" "We kept a separation between Church and State." "How'd you feel about her dating online?" "Wendy is an incredibly trusting person." "The Internet's a dangerous place for people like her." "Okay, thanks." "Another SoHo Single with an alibi." "Which one was that?" "Dylan Knepley." "Iced latte, two Splendas." "I guess you gotta take a lot of notes when you power-date." "Can I tell you something?" "I will never, ever understand this whole Internet-dating thing." " You never know what you're gonna get." " Well, a girl I know met her fiancé online." " They're getting married in the spring." " Do you think I'm missing out?" "Listen, this Wendy girl met a lot of these guys at a Caffeinated Coffee Shop." "So maybe someone saw something there." "Maybe, but which one?" "There's at least 20 in Manhattan alone." "We found the two guys who robbed the Kims' deli along with a foolproof alibi." " Which is...?" " They were in jail." "Yeah, they knocked over a bodega two blocks from the Kims'." "P.D. Picked them up about an hour later." " What about her ex-fiancé?" " He cleared too." "Birthday-party attendees said he was there the entire time." "I've got at least a dozen calls from Wendy's apartment to the same number." "Last one was two days before Wendy's disappearance." "Look at this." "See that?" ""Caffeinated Coffee Shop, 28th Street and 7th. "" " Right by FIT." " Right." "Of course I know Wendy." "She's one of my best friends." "When was the last time you saw her?" "Three days ago, I guess." "You're the reason she was meeting her dates here?" "Yeah, it's kind of her safe house." "Do you think she's okay?" "Listen, did any of the guys stand out to you?" " Seem weird?" " I don't think so." "To be honest, most of them were kind of dull." "So, what about anyone you didn't meet?" "You know, she did mention wanting to ditch a guy a couple weeks ago." " I met a guy with potential." " Do tell." " He's a CPA." "George." " Oh, he has a name." "Now I just have to get rid of Clingy Guy." "Oh, last week?" "Mocha freeze, double shot?" "Yeah, he called me and asked me why I said hi to a guy that I worked with while we were out on our date." "Now he won't stop calling." "Okay, the only way to get rid of him is just be as straightforward as possible." "Call him and tell him you're not into him." "Thanks, but no, thanks." " Do you know this clingy guy's name?" " We don't use names." "We call them by what they do for a living." "Like Stockbroker Guy, Wannabe-Actor Guy." "So, what guy was he?" " Lawyer Guy." " Lawyer Guy." "Doctor, dry-wall hanger, dog walker." "Thirty-one, attorney." "Loves Airedales, sashimi and mountain climbing." ""My favorite toy is my TiVo. "" "Clingy?" "I don't know if that's clingy." "You know what surprises me?" "That there isn't one single Korean in this whole stack." "Sometimes it's good to get away from what you know." "Thirty-two, powerful, successful attorney." "Likes to be in charge." "Looking for someone to fill the void in his life." ""Only reply if you're looking for exclusivity. "" "This guy sounds needy and possessive." "Yup." "I'll get Jack." "Yeah, we went out a few times." "But she wasn't the one who did the breaking up." "And why did you end it?" "Let's just say she had some repressed issues to work out and I wasn't interested in helping her." "What are you doing?" "You're gonna like it, I promise." "Trust me." "Okay, get the hell off of me." "Get me out of these things." "Brad, it's a game." "A little pain, a lot of pleasure." "I don't think so." "Untie me." "Now." "What are you, some kind of freak?" "Look, I was just trying to have a little fun." "I mean, it's your turn now." "You can do whatever you want to me, Brad." "You can even hurt me if you want to." "Yeah, listen, you're a really interesting girl but I don't think we should see each other anymore." "What?" "You know, in some alternate universe, it might have been hot." "But she had this look of desperation in her eyes like she really wanted me to hurt her." "I'm just not into that kind of thing." "That's interesting because I read that you like to be in charge." "Yeah." "Look, I work 80 hours a week." "I don't have time for games." " Where were you at 11:00 last night?" " At work." " Can anyone confirm that?" " I don't know." "Why don't you check with the janitorial staff?" "Look, my secretary should be here any minute." "I have some papers to sign before 6." "Are we done?" "Yeah, we're done." "Somebody will show you to reception." "Thank you." "Something about that guy's not right." "Well, Wendy could be reacting to a very repressed family and culture." "Maybe this is her way of rebelling." "I can think of better ways of rebelling than having sadomasochistic sex with a scumbag lawyer." " True." "She could have done what I did." " What's that?" "Became a cop." "You really think she's into S  M?" "I don't know, but we need to verify Stone's story." " You found anything?" " Besides a fabulous wardrobe, no." " Would you consider these kinky?" " No, just out of style." "FBI." "Stay right there." " Where's Wendy?" " I don't know, man." "I was just answering the ad." " What ad?" " It's in my back pocket." "She's a hot Asian girl, right?" "I wish you were the one going through my pockets." "Shut up." ""Hot exotic with exploitation fantasy." "Come and have sex me with me now." "I'll leave the back window unlocked." "If you can't get in, break in. "" "It's got Wendy's name and address on this." "Come on, what was I supposed to do?" "I just did what she said in the ad." "She said to come in the window, break the lock." "His name's Victor Pratt." "Two priors:" "B and E and sexual assault." " Unfortunately, his alibi checked out." " What about the lawyer?" "Security guard clocked him leaving his office after midnight." " Did you find the ad?" " Yeah." "It was on a website called Gavin's Garage." "Everything from bowling balls to ball gags." "Any friends mention she was into S  M?" "Sam and Martin talked to her friend at the coffee shop." "She said she didn't know about an ad or sexual proclivities she may have had." "Yeah, most people tend to keep that stuff to themselves." "I wonder what other garbage climbed through her window." "Okay, I blow up this picture, and look what happens." " It's a fake?" " Yeah, yeah." "Headshot was probably taken with a generic digital camera." " Around 640 by 480 pixels." " Right, and then you got the lower half." " Which is much better quality." " More pixels, yeah." "Probably taken with a digital SLR." "And you guys notice how the head overlaps the neck over here?" "It could've been ripped from a magazine." "That would be my guess." "I mean, this is clearly professional." "The quality, I mean, of the photo." "All right, so wait, she is into this stuff but she's embarrassed of her body?" "What?" "It's either that or someone else put this up without her knowing about it." "I'm looking for the website administrator." "That would be me." "I take it that you recognize this?" "Some of your handiwork?" "She called the feds?" "She saw me take it down." " She was here?" " Yeah." " When?" " A few days ago." " I don't know what to tell you." " Tell me who put up this disgusting ad." "I'm sorry, I can't do that." "We pride ourselves on our clients' right to privacy." "I am gonna sue your ass." "Gavin's Garage will be finished." "Call yourself "Mommy and Daddy's Basement. "" "That's exactly where you're gonna be working out of." "This Asian girl brought it in." "I figured she was a friend of yours or something." " Who?" " She didn't give a name." "Well, what kind of friend puts up an ad like this?" "Do you have any idea what I've been through since this thing went up?" "We're not responsible for false advertisements." "All right?" "It's written in our terms of service." " Fine." "I'm gonna call the cops." " Look, hey." "Okay, okay, all right?" "It's cool." "I'll take it down, okay?" "I took it down, and she left." "You posted this online and didn't get the name of the girl who dropped it off?" "No, she just handed it to me on a disk and gave me cash." " I need the disk." " Yeah, okay." "Some business you got here." "I'm just a pawn in the game." "Yeah." "Well, the game's over." "You see that girl again, call me." " I can't believe she would do this." " She didn't." "The picture's a fake." "We think someone she's acquainted with put this ad on without her knowledge." "Are you sure?" "Why would somebody do that?" " That's what we're trying to figure out." " An Asian woman in her 20s..." "Not your daughter." " Dropped this picture off." "Do either of you have any idea who that might be?" " Most of Sun's friends are white." " She has two cousins her age." "But they would never do anything like this." " Okay, I have to take my mom home." " All right, fine." "You care to fill us in?" "When Sun went to college, she started to change." "She stopped listening to us." "My husband was right." "We gave her too much freedom." "How'd it go?" "The family seems more concerned with blaming her than with finding her." "Probably think none of this would've happened if she'd married a Korean." "Well, look, whoever put that ad up had to be angry enough to take that revenge." " Someone with a serious grudge." " Maybe someone she dated." "Maybe someone she dated and rejected." "Your secretary told us that she took a trip to Gavin's Garage last week." "That was the same date this ad was put up." "See?" "The day you put up that ad." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Your secretary said Wendy stopped by your office the day before she disappeared, and she was distressed and she really, really needed to talk to you." "It must have slipped your mind." "I don't have to sit here and listen to this, not without an attorney." "We've already got you for cyberstalking." "That's a felony." "You're looking at a lot of jail time." " Look, I don't know where she is, okay?" " She's not into S  M." "Listen, if anyone was playing games, it was you." "So she found out about the ad and she confronted you." "Am I correct?" "I called her right after I put it up, okay?" "I told her I found the ad." "I said I Googled her name and it came up." "I thought she would want someone to lean on." "Why'd she go to your office?" "She was upset about the ad." "I was out at a meeting." "She left me a note told me to meet her at the Caffeinated by FIT after work." "Oh, hey." " I'm sorry I missed you today." " I'm sorry for not calling first." " But I didn't know where else to go." " It's fine, Wendy." "Why don't you tell me what happened?" "I went to Gavin's Garage and made them take down the ad." "Good." "That's great." "But it's been up for two days." "And I'm terrified to go home." "I've already had two guys knock on my window and I keep getting these disgusting phone calls." "That idiot at Gavin's Garage let someone put up that ad and he needs to pay." "You probably have a very good case against them." " Will you help me?" " Yeah, of course I will." "I just wanted to meet a nice guy, you know?" "That's not asking too much, is it?" "No." "Not at all." " I just wanted to get her attention." " Yeah, well, you probably got her killed." "Okay." "All right, thanks." "Okay, bye." "Elena, the techs found a set of prints on Wendy Kim's back window." "The prints match a guy named Walter Cole." "He lives in Brooklyn." "Yup, Walter Cole." "Thirty-eight, married, no record." "Let me see something." "How'd you like to have that guy come in through your back window?" "You guys are really messing me up here." "My boss is gonna kick my ass." "I'm sorry to inconvenience you, Mr. Cole." "I'm sure Ms. Kim was more inconvenienced when you tried to climb through her window and rape her." "No, that girl put an ad." " Yeah, and you answered it." " Yeah, so what?" "That's not illegal." "Look, my wife doesn't exactly like to role-play so I gotta get my kicks elsewhere, you know?" "I don't give a crap." "What'd you do to the girl?" "I never touched the girl." "You can ask the guy she was with." " What guy?" " Oriental guy." "He answered the door." "Look, I tried the window like the ad said, and it was locked." "So I went around front." " Well, I guess you got here first, huh?" " What do you want?" "She's as hot as her picture." "Maybe I'll come back for some one-on-one, huh?" " What?" " The ad, it's for sex with the girl." " It's not a gangbang." " All right, get lost." " What are you talking about?" " She put an ad." "For sex." "Look." "Look." " What did you do, Sun?" " I didn't do anything." "Haven't you brought enough shame on our family?" "Are we so horrible that you need to whore yourself out just to get away from us?" "I don't even know what you're talking about." "What have you become?" "I got the hell out of there." " What happened to the guy?" " As far as I know, he stayed." "Walter Cole just ID'd Jin as the guy in Wendy's apartment." "Well, this is interesting, then." "Jin has worked at his parents' deli since he was a kid, okay?" "After he graduated from Fordham, he borrowed money from his family." "Invested in two delis in the boroughs." "One of the delis was wiped out by a fire." "The other one never really got off the ground." " What year?" " 2002." "Hey." "Jin's E-ZPass registered a toll from the Midtown Tunnel after 11 p. m." "On the DOD." "He could've been heading back to the deli." "Let's go see him." " Thanks." " Hey, Jin." "What's going on?" "Couple of our agents checked out your parking garage." "They found this in a dumpster." "I'm willing to bet that it fits the security system inside." "The one that your mom said was broken a month ago." "Yeah, it did." "I mean it's..." "It's broken." "So if we take the tape to the lab and splice it together we're not gonna find out what happened to your sister?" "So, what do you want from me?" "I wanna know what you and your mom are trying to hide." "No, my mom didn't..." "My mom didn't do anything." "You know what I'm gonna do?" "I'm gonna bring her in." "Because I wanna know why she lied to me about the security cameras." " No." " No?" "Your mom did something to Wendy, and you're covering up for her." "No, okay, I was the one who..." "I was the one who told her about the camera." "My mom doesn't know anything about it." "About what?" "Let me tell you what I think, okay?" "I think Wendy was doing everything that you wanted to do and couldn't." "Succeeding." "Making her way in the world." "Pulling away from the store, the family." "And you had to stop her." " That's not how it is." " Yeah." "You wanted respect, like your father." "When she didn't give it to you, it made you feel like a failure." " It made you feel weak." " You couldn't handle the shame of that." "I came back here to help her." "And I got here, and there was some guy here." "You know, sometimes people do things that come back to haunt them." " What are you doing here?" " You're still meeting men online." " Thought you were done with that." " Well, you thought wrong." "Well I'm not gonna lie to Mom anymore." "Fine, then don't." "Tell her." "I don't care anymore." "Okay, Sun, it's been barely two months since you were engaged to Steven." "That is an insult to who they are and to who we are." "This... isn't who I am, Jin." "Maybe if you went out once in a while you'd realize this isn't who you are either." "We got options, you know?" "We don't have to work in this place forever." "What options?" "This store pays for all your clothes and your rent." "You're too busy putting sex ads on the Internet to realize that the store you hate so much keeps us all alive." "I told you, I didn't put up those ads." " I'm sure you didn't." " Okay, fine." "Yeah, you know what?" "It was all my idea." "I wanna be dominated by strange men." "Does that make you feel better?" "I should tell Mom and Dad." " Don't you dare." " There's more to life than this place." "Shut up, Wendy." "Go back inside." "Right now." "You wanna die a slow death here like Dad?" "Fine, you can stay and rot away selling lotto tickets and 40s for the rest of your life." " But I'm done." " Oh, you're done?" "I have to work in that store every day." "Every day." "It doesn't matter if it's the last place on Earth I wanna go." "I take care of my family, I do my job, and it's your duty to help me." "No, it's not." "Then this is where you belong, right here with all this trash." "Sun." "Sun, I'm sorry." "Sun, I'm so sorry." "It happened so fast." "I didn't mean to hurt her, I swear." "Why did she have to lie to me about that ad?" " Let's go." " Come on, Jin." "Let's go." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"
