The Last Story of Mina Lee

Margot goes to the address that the waitress gave her. Mrs. Baek lets her into her apartment, and Margot questions her. She says that she sold her store because business was slow, but Margot isn’t sure that she’s telling the truth. She confirms that Mr. Kim is Margot’s father. Mina didn’t tell Margot because Mr. Kim was dying. She didn’t want Margot to meet her father only to have to say goodbye to him immediately after. Margot says she can’t move on until she knows the truth about her mother’s death. She tells Mrs. Baek she feels guilty for not checking on her mother more often.

Margot remembers her mother telling her that she should be more grateful, and that there is no fun in the world. Mrs. Baek says Mina was lonely and that Margot kept her safe. She says Margot saved her. Margot doesn’t believe that she saved her mother. She drives to the pier and imagines driving off the edge and drowning. Then she goes to the Ferris wheel and gets on.
