ACCIDENTALLY IN SEOUL

Episode 1 — THE THREE COLLISION SCENE 1 — INCHEON AIRPORT The sliding doors open. Marian steps into the arrival hall with a suitcase. She stops. She looks around. Her face lights up. MARIAN: "Seoul..." She takes a deep breath. MARIAN: "I finally made it." She checks her phone. A message from her friend appears: FRIEND: "Don't work. Don't answer hospital calls. Don't save anyone for five days. VACATION means vacation!" Marian laughs. MARIAN: "Fine. Five days." She puts her phone away. Then she notices a group of tourists taking pictures. Marian smiles. MARIAN: "Okay. First day in Korea. No stress. No hospital. No emergencies." She pulls her suitcase behind her. A few seconds later— A man runs past her. Marian steps aside. MARIAN: "Whoa!" The man disappears into the crowd. She shakes her head. MARIAN: "Seoul is fast." --- THE HOTEL Marian enters her hotel room. She opens the curtains. Seoul stretches beneath her. She takes several pictures. Then she looks at herself in the mirror. MARIAN: "Thirty-three years old. Doctor. Single. In Korea." She pauses. MARIAN: "Maybe this vacation isn't such a bad idea." She laughs at herself. MARIAN: "Marian, you're here to rest." She grabs her jacket. MARIAN: "Food first." --- FIRST COLLISION A busy Seoul street. Marian walks while looking at a map on her phone. She turns a corner. At exactly the same moment, another person turns the corner. BUMP! Her coffee flies upward. Marian catches it. She looks up. A tall man in a black coat and cap stands in front of her. His face is partly covered. It is LEE DONG-WOOK. He looks at the coffee. Then at Marian. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Sorry." Marian stares at him. MARIAN: "That's all?" He raises an eyebrow. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Would you like a written apology?" Marian almost laughs. MARIAN: "No." She looks at him carefully. MARIAN: "You always talk like that?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Like what?" MARIAN: "Like you're interrogating people." He looks at her for a moment. LEE DONG-WOOK: "You're not Korean." MARIAN: "Very observant." LEE DONG-WOOK: "Filipina?" Marian is surprised. MARIAN: "How did you know?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Accent." She smiles. MARIAN: "Good guess." He gives a small nod. Then walks away. Marian watches him. MARIAN: "Rude." She continues walking. She doesn't know that he turns around and looks at her from a distance. SECOND COLLISION Marian enters a café. She orders. MARIAN: "One iced latte, please." She waits. Someone walks behind her. She steps backward. BUMP! Marian freezes. She slowly turns around. Lee Dong-wook. Again. They stare at each other. MARIAN: "No." He looks at her. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Apparently yes." MARIAN: "You followed me." LEE DONG-WOOK: "I didn't." MARIAN: "Then explain." He looks around the café. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I came here for coffee." Marian folds her arms. MARIAN: "So did I." LEE DONG-WOOK: "Then we have something in common." She rolls her eyes. MARIAN: "You're annoying." He almost smiles. LEE DONG-WOOK: "You're loud." MARIAN: "I'm not loud." The barista looks at them. BARISTA: "Your coffee." Marian takes it. She looks at Lee Dong-wook. MARIAN: "Goodbye." She walks away. He watches her leave. ---THE THIRD COLLISION Hours later. Marian walks through a shopping district. She stops to admire a necklace. She turns around. BUMP! She closes her eyes. Slowly... She opens them. Lee Dong-wook. Again. They stare at each other. Marian points at him. MARIAN: "Okay. This is ridiculous." LEE DONG-WOOK: "I agree." MARIAN: "Three times?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Three." MARIAN: "You're following me." LEE DONG-WOOK: "I'm not." MARIAN: "Then maybe Seoul is trying to tell us something." He studies her. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Maybe." Marian laughs. MARIAN: "You know what? Fine." She walks away. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Coffee." She stops. Turns. MARIAN: "What?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Let me buy you coffee." MARIAN: "Why?" He looks completely serious. LEE DONG-WOOK: "If we collide a fourth time, I'll assume it's fate." Marian laughs. MARIAN: "And what happens if it's fate?" He pauses. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I'll ask you out." Marian's smile disappears. MARIAN: "You are very confident." He gives her a faint smile. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Sometimes." --- COFFEE AND SECRETS SCENE 6 — THE CAFÉ They sit across from each other. Marian takes a sip. MARIAN: "So, what's your name?" He looks at her. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Lee Dong-wook." Marian nearly chokes on her drink. MARIAN: "Wait." She looks at him. MARIAN: "You're THAT Lee Dong-wook?" He nods. MARIAN: "Oh my God." LEE DONG-WOOK: "You know me now?" MARIAN: "Of course!" She laughs. MARIAN: "I thought you were just a rude guy." He smiles. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Now?" Marian looks him over. MARIAN: "Still deciding." He laughs quietly. LEE DONG-WOOK: "What's your name?" MARIAN: "Marian." LEE DONG-WOOK: "Marian." He says her name slowly. She notices. MARIAN: "You're saying it correctly." LEE DONG-WOOK: "I can learn." Their eyes meet. For a moment, everything becomes quiet. --- THE DOCTOR LEE DONG-WOOK: "What do you do?" MARIAN: "I'm a doctor." He looks surprised. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Emergency medicine?" Marian nods. MARIAN: "How did you know?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Your hands." She looks at her hands. MARIAN: "My hands?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "You watch people differently." Marian smiles. MARIAN: "That's creepy." LEE DONG-WOOK: "It's observation." MARIAN: "Same thing." He laughs. --- THE SECRET Outside the café, Marian notices a man staring at them. Her expression changes. Lee Dong-wook notices immediately. LEE DONG-WOOK: "You saw him?" Marian looks at him. MARIAN: "Yes." LEE DONG-WOOK: "Don't look again." MARIAN: "Why?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Because I told you." She raises an eyebrow. MARIAN: "You don't give me orders." He looks at her. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Good." MARIAN: "Good?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "I wouldn't like you if you obeyed everything I said." Marian smiles despite herself. --- THE WOMAN WHO CAN FIGHT THE ATTACK Marian walks alone after leaving the café. Two men approach. MAN: "Marian?" She stops. MARIAN: "Yes?" The man grabs her arm. Marian immediately reacts. She twists his wrist. MAN: "AH!" She steps behind him. MARIAN: "Don't touch me." The second man attacks. Marian ducks. She kicks his leg. He falls. She looks at him. MARIAN: "Are you okay?" The man looks confused. MARIAN: "I'm a doctor." She pauses. MARIAN: "But don't make me treat you." Behind her, Lee Dong-wook watches. His expression is completely different now. Cold. Dangerous. He walks toward them. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Who sent you?" The men don't answer. Lee Dong-wook steps closer. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I asked a question." Marian looks at him. This isn't the actor from the café. This is someone else. Someone frightening. --- AFTERWARD The men escape. Marian looks at Lee Dong-wook. MARIAN: "You're not just an actor." Silence. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Neither are you just a doctor." She smiles. MARIAN: "My grandfather taught me martial arts." LEE DONG-WOOK: "He trained you well." MARIAN: "He told me something." LEE DONG-WOOK: "What?" MARIAN: "Never trust someone who looks too calm." Lee Dong-wook looks at her. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Your grandfather was smart." MARIAN: "Very." She studies him. MARIAN: "Should I be worried about you?" He doesn't answer. Instead, he asks: LEE DONG-WOOK: "Are you afraid of me?" Marian steps closer. MARIAN: "Should I be?" He looks into her eyes. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Maybe." She smiles. MARIAN: "Too late." --- THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING SCENE 11 — NIGHT WALK They walk through Seoul at night. Marian looks at the lights. MARIAN: "Seoul is beautiful." LEE DONG-WOOK: "Yes." He looks at her instead of the city. LEE DONG-WOOK: "It is." She notices. MARIAN: "You're not looking at Seoul." He looks away. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I know." She blushes. MARIAN: "You're dangerous." LEE DONG-WOOK: "You keep saying that." MARIAN: "Because you keep proving it." --- THE PHONE CALL Lee Dong-wook's phone rings. His expression changes. He answers. VOICE: "We found the woman." He looks at Marian. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Which woman?" VOICE: "The Filipina." His eyes become cold. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Stay away from her." VOICE: "Why?" He pauses. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Because she's under my protection." He hangs up. Marian looks at him. MARIAN: "Who was that?" LEE DONG-WOOK: "Work." MARIAN: "What kind of work?" He smiles faintly. LEE DONG-WOOK: "The kind I don't want you involved in." --- ACT 5 — THE HOTEL MARIAN'S ROOM Marian enters her room. She locks the door. She removes her jacket. Then notices something on her table. A small envelope. She slowly opens it. Inside is a photograph. A photograph of her. Taken earlier that day. Her expression becomes serious. There is a message written underneath: "You should never have met him." Marian whispers: MARIAN: "Who are you?" Suddenly— A noise comes from the hallway. Marian immediately switches into a defensive stance. The door handle moves. She prepares to strike. The door opens. Lee Dong-wook stands there. She almost punches him. He catches her wrist. They freeze. Their faces are extremely close. LEE DONG-WOOK: "You almost hit me." MARIAN: "You scared me!" He looks at her wrist. Then gently releases it. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Someone entered your room." Marian's expression changes. MARIAN: "What?" He points toward the table. He sees the photograph. His face becomes completely cold. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Where did you get this?" MARIAN: "It was here." He takes the photograph. His jaw tightens. MARIAN: "Who took it?" He doesn't answer. MARIAN: "Dong-wook." He looks at her. MARIAN: "Tell me the truth." Long silence. Finally— LEE DONG-WOOK: "Someone is looking for you." MARIAN: "Why?" He looks directly into her eyes. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I don't know." She doesn't believe him. MARIAN: "You're lying." He says nothing. She steps closer. MARIAN: "You're a terrible liar." He almost smiles. LEE DONG-WOOK: "And you're very difficult." MARIAN: "Good." --- ACT 6 — THE PROMISE — HOTEL ROOFTOP They stand on the rooftop. The Seoul skyline shines behind them. Marian looks at him. MARIAN: "I came to Korea to forget work." LEE DONG-WOOK: "And now?" She looks at him. MARIAN: "Now I have a stalker, two attackers, and a mysterious actor following me." LEE DONG-WOOK: "I'm not following you." She smiles. MARIAN: "Three collisions." He laughs softly. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Three." She looks at him. MARIAN: "What happens next?" He steps closer. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I don't know." A pause. LEE DONG-WOOK: "But I'll make sure you get home safely." MARIAN: "Why?" He looks at her. For once, his expression is completely sincere. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Because I don't want anything to happen to you." Marian's heart skips. She looks away. MARIAN: "You're making it very difficult to dislike you." LEE DONG-WOOK: "That was the plan." She laughs. Later that night. Lee Dong-wook walks alone through a dark parking garage. A man steps out. MAN: "You're protecting her?" Lee Dong-wook stops. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Yes." MAN: "You know what happens if she discovers who you really are." He slowly turns. His expression becomes terrifyingly calm. LEE DONG-WOOK: "Then I'll make sure she never has to be afraid of me." The man laughs. MAN: "You're falling for her." Silence. Lee Dong-wook looks toward the city. A small smile appears. LEE DONG-WOOK: "I already did." CUT TO: Marian sleeping peacefully in her hotel room. Her phone suddenly lights up. One message. UNKNOWN NUMBER: "Ask Lee Dong-wook what happened seven years ago." Marian wakes up. She reads the message. Her eyes widen.
