ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
Ma'am.
-Are you heading home now? -Yes.
-Thank you for your hard work. -Have a safe trip.
Hey.
What are you doing?
-I'm on patrol. -We'll take care of this area.
Just make sure the lights in the offices are off.
Who is he? I've never seen him before.
He's the Korean-Chinese guy we recently hired as backup.
From martial arts to shooting, he's good at everything.
I see.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
You only said you lived around Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
You didn't tell me the exact address.
You know,
I don't like dreams like this.
When I wake up,
I'll be so sad.
Even if you look at me like that, it doesn't make me happy at all.
But this isn't a dream.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am sure.
But how did you come here?
And what happened to your face?
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
It's a gold mine dug out under Japanese rule that's no longer in use.
It looks like we can safely assume
that Cho Cheol Gang went to the South using this route.
But the thing is, it's very old.
And because Cho Cheol Gang excavated his way to the South,
it can collapse anytime.
To pass through a ten-kilometer-long artificial cave
that's big enough for just one person,
it'll take at least 20 hours without any rest.
And if you arrive at the end safely...
you'll see a natural cave leading to the ocean.
I can believe everything else,
but not you when you say that you're fine.
I'm really fine.
Nothing happened.
We should get him to do it when he's back.
Why do we have to do this in the middle of the night?
What if the taste changes because we took our sweet time?
Honey.
Come here for a second.
POLICE
I found it!
So...
what happened?
What are you doing here?
Did you
-defect from the North because of me? -No.
-Then are you here as a spy? -No.
Then,
are you here for good?
Of course not.
I'm just visiting.
Well, it's not like you just crossed the Han River.
You can't really "visit" the South from where you live.
Also, if it's this easy to come to the South from there,
why was I stuck there for such a long time?
-It wasn't exactly easy-- -Do your parents know about this?
If your father finds out, he'll be furious.
What did you tell them?
I'd like to answer your questions,
so stop asking me more questions.
Okay.
Cho Cheol Gang.
He's here now.
What?
He was supposed to receive criminal punishment for what he did,
but he disappeared during transport.
And he came here because he's after you.
Me?
So you're saying...
you came here because you were afraid that Cho Cheol Gang might harm me?
Despite all the dangers? You came here for me?
Well, not just because of you.
He won't stop at attacking you.
He'll use you to try to sabotage me, my father, and my entire family.
I came here to stop that.
Not just to protect you.
So if you're only here for a short while, when do you have to go back?
As soon as I catch him,
even if it's tonight.
Right after you catch him?
Okay, all right.
But if I'm his first target,
I guess protecting me should be your first mission.
And to do that,
you'll have to stay with me.
Right by my side.
Let's get out of here.
I'm not cold.
That's not why I'm putting this on you.
You see, the South is a scary place.
You're surrounded by security cameras, dashcams, phones,
and the fastest internet connection in the world.
If your face is caught on anything,
it only takes 30 minutes for it to spread nationwide.
So you have to cover your face.
It won't happen, but you shouldn't be seen.
And our conversations too.
The National Intelligence Service and the police
would go bonkers if they heard us. It's very dangerous.
I guess we have no choice.
Unfortunately, we have to make sure no one else but me can see you,
and no one can listen in on our conversations,
so we'll have to find a confined space
where only you and I know and stay there.
Let's go.
I'll hide you.
Well...
this is where I live.
Make yourself at home.
I feel comfortable.
Do you want to wash up first?
What's wrong? I just thought you'd be tired.
Why are you looking at me like that?
That's embarrassing.
Well...
I'll do it later. You don't need to ask me.
Aren't you hungry? Do you want some food?
-What do you eat? -Gosh, you scared me.
You kept bragging about your money.
How come you have no food at your place?
Well...
Didn't I tell you?
My nickname is Picky Princess.
It's so good.
But you're not a picky eater.
Regardless of what I'm eating, I usually never eat more than three bites.
Since the day I met you,
I've never seen you eat less than three bites of food.
That was a special circumstance, though.
I thought I might not be able to eat again,
so I instinctively ate more to survive.
We can order food. Tell me what you feel like.
Pizza? Chinese food?
Or fried chicken?
Why are there so many chicken restaurants in the South?
So many people eat chicken here.
I wonder how much that is.
Who cares? I can't even bring myself to pull out my wallet.
Come on. What are you guys doing?
Hey, comrade!
"Comrade"? Did you forget what we learned in training?
Gosh, people will hear you.
Then I'll talk like the people here.
Brother.
Man Bok, just talk casually to us.
Well, okay. Talk.
I personally think that we should think of drumsticks
as our parents' enemies and destroy them by eating them all.
But our fund is limited.
It'd be great if we could find Captain Ri quickly.
But if not, we'll need quite a bit of money to stay here.
So we should be frugal, don't you think?
Delivery for you!
Eat up.
-What is this? -I heard this is what people do here.
When the host offers you food,
you should offer the host to take the first bite.
I heard it's part of table manners.
What is this about?
What's with that gaze?
I still can't believe it.
The fact that
you're sitting by my side at my place and eating with me.
How are things between you and your family?
Things are great. I guess you were worried about that.
To tell you the truth, I was also worried when I was there,
but you were right.
-I was? -Yes, you were absolutely right.
No matter how much we hate each other, we are a family.
We always fought because we couldn't stand each other,
but when I came back alive,
everyone was so happy to see me again.
So all is good now.
I'm relieved.
Everything's been great with me.
I thought it'd be nice to tell you how well I'm doing,
but it's not like I could email or call you.
But you're here.
I'm so glad I can tell you in person like this.
So you don't need to worry about me
when you go back.
Don't be so alarmed.
This is the Republic of Korea, and I'm not a nobody here.
And this building is known for its tight security.
What? What are they doing here at this hour?
Who are they?
My second oldest brother and his wife.
Why are they here so late?
Eat. They'll ring the doorbell a few more times and leave.
-Is she out? -I'm sure she's home.
She's just ignoring us.
I know her key code.
Press it, then.
Are you sure security is tight here?
Just go into the room for now. Take your jacket.
Damn it.
What are you doing? This is considered trespassing.
Give me a break. I'm your brother.
-Hey, where-- -Why did you block our calls?
Who said you could come in?
Why are you here? What is this about?
Se-ri.
We know everything.
About what?
We know where you were during the time we didn't hear from you.
You know what even I don't know?
Hey, don't play dumb. I can't stand it.
You were in North Korea.
You're a public figure.
What do you think will happen if people find out?
"It was an accident. I don't remember anything."
I guess you can keep giving excuses, but no one will believe you.
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I'll put it in simple terms for you.
The game is over now. I've inherited Dad's position,
and I'm the CEO of Queens now.
So you'd better not get cheeky with me.
I know you won't just sit still.
But if you try to cook up a ruse to win Dad over or do anything funny...
Burying someone alive is a piece of cake these days.
Do you get what I'm saying now?
There are many things I can do to make sure you can never walk around
with your head up.
Se-hyeong.
I still have no idea what you're talking about,
so please leave,
will you?
You're going to keep playing dumb?
Don't assume that we're saying this without proof.
-We have evidence. -What do you think?
They're over-the-moon happy that you're alive.
Really? Who? My mom? My dad?
All of them, I heard.
Everyone from your parents to brothers are so happy.
We have other recordings too.
We have photos as well. There's plenty of evidence.
All right.
So according to what you're saying,
I went to North Korea and met Gu Seung-jun.
And the two of you knew everything.
-That's right. -But I guess...
you never considered getting me out of there.
-What? -Did you want me to live there forever?
Or were you
hoping that I'd die?
Jeez, what's this girl saying?
Of course, we considered getting you out of there.
But,
this is huge.
If we aren't careful, the entire family may get in trouble--
I heard there are three types of people you should never forget.
People who help you when you're stuck.
People who leave you alone when you're stuck.
And...
people who cornered you into that situation.
And that's why
I'll never forget the two of you.
Are you threatening us or what? How dare you try to threaten--
Honey. Today, we should just leave.
Hey.
Know your place, okay?
You lucked out and came back alive,
so just be grateful and don't cause trouble.
This is your last warning.
Just...
don't say anything.
I'm too embarrassed.
I won't say anything.
This is better.
It's quiet.
And it's warm.
This somehow...
makes me less angry.
But I'm angry.
I was so angry I almost forgot my situation and ran out.
But...
don't forget
that the person you should never forget in your life
is not someone you hate, but someone you like.
While keeping someone you hate in your heart,
your heart
will be scarred and hurt.
It will only be your loss.
And I know you hate losing more than anyone else does.
I do.
I'm a businesswoman. Losing is what I hate the most.
Then keep only people you like in your heart.
Only then can you eat well and sleep well.
Even if...
that person isn't by my side?
Yes.
You're right.
One should eat well and sleep well to stay healthy.
And one should stay healthy to beat others.
Now that I think about it,
that's more profitable.
It is profitable.
Do you think South Korea knew we were coming
and turned all the lights on?
It can't be true, right?
Will all those lights stay on the entire night?
Will they not be turned off?
I didn't know it would be actually like in the dramas.
I couldn't quite believe it.
If it's always bright like this,
U Pil would be able to do his homework every day.
That would be really nice.
I wonder
where Captain Ri is now, among all the places there.
I rather wonder
where we will be staying tonight,
among all the places there.
CHARCOAL SAUNA
If there's a heaven, this must be it.
I wish I could take my mother here just once.
When I saw it in dramas, I didn't think it would be this good.
But it's really nice.
Comrades.
I mean, friends.
You're getting too loose about capitalism.
Don't be distracted by the nice hot feeling.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Today, we paid a whopping 12,000 won per person to enter this place.
Make sure to save the warmth and not waste the money
so that we can carry out our mission in the cold wind tomorrow.
By the way,
I'm hungry.
As I said,
we paid a whopping 12,000 won per person to be sitting here--
How?
I have all the money.
I have no idea.
The shop owner just gave them to me and said she didn't need any cash.
Really? She just gave them to you for free?
Yes.
She just said I needed to show her this.
Capitalism is very generous.
Gwang Beom,
maybe she gave them to you for free because you're good-looking.
Then I should give it a shot too.
Let's eat.
Thank you for the food.
Be careful. It's hot.
Take this.
MEN'S SHOES LOCKER
MEN'S BATH - WOMEN'S BATH
We paid 12,000 won per person for such luxury.
It wasn't that bad a deal.
-It wasn't indeed. -No.
Excuse me. You need to check out the bracelet.
One of you got the scrubbing service.
That will be 137,000 won in total.
Who got scrubbed?
You look so beautiful.
Goodness, Wol Suk.
You look so beautiful.
You should talk.
With just a small touch, you can look so sophisticated.
You should do this more often.
Right? We never get dolled up,
but when we do, we can be just as pretty as actresses.
-That's true. -Right?
-Oh, my. -Yeong Ae!
-Look who is here.
Goodness.
Yeong Ae,
you dressed up so nicely all the guys that see you will get nosebleeds.
Come on. Don't tell me lies.
-I'm not. -We are not.
I thought spring was walking in in the middle of the winter.
Me too.
By the way, is the fortune teller that good?
She's good.
For the last five years, what she said about my husband's promotion
was all correct.
-Promotion? -Promotion?
For the last five years, he failed to get any promotion.
She's good.
You didn't bring anyone with you, did you?
No way. Don't worry.
One of us is even keeping watch outside.
That means it's all clear.
Two of us were caught this week.
I can't sleep at night because I'm so scared.
But you're a good fortune teller. Can't you see your own future?
Come on.
She serves a South Korean ghost.
So she's not so good at predicting things
regarding control officers and prison.
-Is that so? -Yes.
Instead, regarding money, your children,
your husband's promotion, and health,
she's really good.
-That's right. -Of course.
Then...
could you tell me what I should do to make my son study hard?
I really want him to go to the medical school.
Medical school? Let me see.
I don't hear anything.
As long as the spirit can hear the sound,
what we hear doesn't mean anything.
-Of course. -For sure.
If the bell sound gets out, control officers will show up.
-Of course. -You're right.
You girls are in trouble.
That's a South Korean accent.
Your husband went somewhere far away.
-Goodness. -Oh, my gosh.
He will be in Pyongyang for a month to carry out a mission.
He's not in Pyongyang. He traveled farther away.
-What? -What?
I don't think he can come back.
-What? -What?
What do you mean?
Why can't he come back?
You have your own problem to worry about.
Me?
There will be a bloodbath in this village.
"Bloodbath"?
I'm scared.
I want something sweet.
Here's something sweet.
What's up?
What are you doing?
Get off of me! I said get off of me!
-What are you doing? -Take him.
What on earth are you doing now?
Let go of me!
-What's all this? -Take him.
Get off of me.
Let go of me!
Pack your bags now.
What? Pack what?
-Hurry! -What's up?
Cho Cheol Gang had our back, but he got busted.
Busted? Because of what?
Everything.
Even the keeping business got busted.
So?
There was an accident during his transport,
and I don't know if he's alive now.
What I know for sure is we'll be dead meat if we get caught here.
Dead?
What on earth is going on?
It's all because or Ri Jeong Hyeok.
If you hadn't helped Ri Jeong Hyeok,
Cho Cheol Gang would not have been caught.
Are you blaming me again? Is it my fault?
It's my fault.
You won't abandon me, will you?
Hey, Brother. Don't abandon me.
Just pack your things already!
They are already packed.
Mr. Cheon Su Bok.
-Let's go. -Let go of me.
Let go of me!
Don't come out.
Father.
I'm truly sorry I have to inform you of this.
Cho Cheol Gang, who disappeared in the patrol wagon accident,
is the one that killed my brother.
And he's after the woman I love.
Now we have the definite evidence that he escaped to South Korea,
I can't just sit back and watch.
I can't let him hurt another person I love the most.
If it happens again,
I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.
There is one month left until the company switch.
I promise to come back before that.
Please don't worry.
What happened? Did you hear anything from him?
It's not easy
to locate him
or contact him.
If something happens to Jeong Hyeok too, I can't live.
There's no reason to live.
What an ingrate.
Once they figure out that he went there,
my entire family as well as myself will be done for.
Is that your concern?
After all the tears,
your fame comes before your child?
Don't you ever let the damn position cost my son again.
If you do, I will kill myself right away.
Stay in that high position alone until the day you die.
Goodness, Jeong Hyeok...
It's all set. You wanted to register your fingerprint, right?
-Yes. -Hang on a second.
There you go.
See if it works.
It's all set now.
I want to register his too.
Mine?
But I'm leaving soon.
Just do it anyway.
I know you're leaving soon,
but while you're here, you have to be hanging out with me.
So why don't you change your style a bit?
I don't think that's necessary.
Not much. Just a little.
What are you doing?
In winter, you need to knock your car before you get in.
Sometimes, wild animals get in the engine to avoid the cold.
But this is an underground parking lot
and it's not even cold. There's no wild animal.
Look at you.
Why are you surprised when you're the one who knocked?
I didn't really expect to see one,
since this we're underground and it's not cold.
It's great that you did it, though.
From now on, I will knock the car in winter...
What's wrong?
What am I going to do?
You will be gone soon,
but I will be left here alone
and knocking the car every winter.
And whenever I do this,
I'll be reminded of you, as you taught me this.
While you stay here,
I think you shouldn't do anything.
Don't make memories that will remind me of you.
I will try...
to do nothing.
Let's go.
It's time to become a South Korean.
Welcome.
Try this.
Why should I? I'm okay with my clothes I'm wearing now.
I'm not okay with them. Come on.
-Please escort him. -This way.
It suits you really well.
You won't need to shorten any part.
It looks like it's custom-tailored. Not many people look good in this color.
It looks so perfect on you.
I'm not sure.
Is there something else?
How about this one? Try this.
This is yours.
I mean, look at how perfectly it fits.
If you take photos in this, you might look better
than models.
Could you turn around?
It doesn't look so nice from the back.
Is there something else?
Try this one.
It must be hard. Your husband looks good in anything.
"Husband"?
Come on, he's not.
Do we look like a married couple?
Then I guess he's just your boyfriend for now.
I'm so jealous.
He was looking at you so sweetly earlier.
He seemed so sweet.
Well...
He's not
that sweet all the time.
The ones he tried earlier,
the one he brought now,
-this... -Yes.
And this.
And I would like to buy the shirts in all colors. All of them.
-Here. -Yes.
Wait.
-What are you doing? -What do you mean?
I told you I was a swallow.
And not just a swallow. A super luxurious swallow.
And you are the lucky farmer who saved its life.
Let's start opening your presents with this black card now.
-I'd like to pay all at once. -Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
Look. Isn't he handsome?
-He's so handsome. -Take a picture of him.
Thank you.
Jeong Hyeok, since we're out, let's get your hair done.
What are you doing now?
Let's go.
Let me wait until the baby comes out.
Thank you.
-Ms. Yoon. -Hey.
This is Lee Hyeok, my bodyguard.
-What? -But you hated having bodyguards.
-He's a temporary one. -Temporary, I see.
Does the fact that you hired a personal bodyguard mean
it's starting again?
-What is? -Dating.
Giving us a heads-up will make it a lot easier for us to prepare.
Is he an athlete or a celebrity?
Just give us a general idea.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
I will see you later at the meeting.
Let's go, Hyeok.
We will be busy, right?
Yes, 100 percent.
It's not like there had been a lot of scandals.
I didn't ask.
My life was boring.
I had no family to eat with
and no friends to hang out with.
-That's why I kept seeing others and-- -Started dating.
That's not true.
Having just one meal with someone would make news articles
and taking a walk by the Han River with someone would soon be talked about.
-Okay. -But...
I don't think I can do that from now on.
I have become picky now.
Because of you.
Really?
This skyscraper really belongs to that woman?
She bragged so much about how rich she is,
and it turns out it wasn't all a lie.
I should have told her I wanted a 100 million won, not corn.
Let's get in for now.
The one who looks the most South Korean should go first.
-Gwang Beom. -Yes.
Let's get in.
How may I help you?
How can I help you?
We would like to meet the comrade...
I mean, we would like to meet the chairwoman.
Did you set up an appointment with her?
You can't meet her if you didn't set up an appointment.
Excuse me.
Let's check your identities,
and we will help you fill in the interview application.
Listen.
We can come another time. Right?
-Brother. -Of course, Brother.
They shouldn't have noticed, right?
Chi Su, when did you learn the South Korean dialect?
-Did it sound natural? -It was perfect.
-I thought you were a South Korean. -Ju Meok, you weren't so bad yourself.
-Really? -Yes.
Where did you get the necklace?
My husband got it for me.
Is that so?
Where did you get this bag?
They aren't even out in stores yet.
A beautiful product like this
should be bought as early as possible.
So I asked my husband to get one for me.
Is that so?
By the way, the shoes look unfamiliar.
Oh, these?
My husband is so sweet.
He keeps buying me things like these.
I'm a bit tired of it.
By the way, what's taking Dan so long?
The rumor that her wedding is delayed again
has spread all over Pyongyang.
-Is that so? -I told you.
Didn't I tell you I saw some woman and Ri Jeong Hyeok
looking suspicious in Pyongyang Hotel?
Does that mean that famous Seo Dan was dumped?
Famous, my foot.
Don't you think, Terrius?
Tell me. What's wrong?
This stupid dog suddenly pissed on me.
-Clean it with this. -Gosh, it stinks.
How have you been?
Hey.
Where? Where should I go?
Where should I go?
This is crazy...
Dan, why are you so late?
It's not like you have a husband to ask for permission
or a clingy child.
I was worried you might be too exhausted to come out here.
And yet, here you are, all dressed up.
I'm relieved.
What do you mean?
Dan.
You don't have to save face in front of us.
Tell us about it.
The engagement is as good as called off, right?
Ri Jeong Hyeok is from a powerful family, but what's the point?
-She's right. -She's right.
While all our classmates got married,
you spent all your time waiting for that man,
and now you've passed the marriageable age.
Of course, marriage is not a big deal.
At home, I have my husband
who loves me dearly and only cares about me. I'm sick and tired of it.
I can't agree more.
However, there are more and more people
dying alone all over the world these days,
which is horrible.
-That's true. -That's true.
I'm just worried you might end up like that.
Jin Sook.
Yes?
Is Seong Deok doing all right?
He's all right, of course.
Good.
He used to say he couldn't live without me and that he'd die if I didn't marry him.
So I was worried he might actually die.
Luckily, you accepted him and he's doing all right.
I'm relieved.
Gosh, it's hot.
The coffee is really hot.
Mr. Cheon was caught too. I can't go to the airport now.
My name might be on the blacklist.
Comrade Operator, could you please
let me stay in your place for a while?
Hello?
Rain? It looks like it will be raining for quite some time.
My husband said he would come and pick me up.
My husband should be here any minute too.
Oh, my goodness.
Who is that man?
I should get going.
Already?
Do you have an umbrella?
Bye.
She's too proud until the end.
We all have our husbands to pick us up,
but she has to leave alone, looking pathetic.
-That must be why she left early. -Indeed.
Hey, that might not be the case.
-What? -Look.
Oh, my.
-Goodness. -He's so sweet.
Look at that.
-Goodness. Who is that man? -Oh, my.
-Oh, dear.
-This is unbelievable. -What on earth is going on?
I think I just saved you.
Stop the bullshit.
Do you have any sweetmeat in the car?
You know that word too? How do you know that word?
How I know that word isn't important.
I guess you're right.
What's important is we need sweets on gloomy days.
Things like chocolate and candy.
-Do you have any? -No, I don't.
Do you have convenience stores here?
Hey, come here.
Hey.
Let's eat this together.
We will be having a meeting until late tonight.
I will eat with Chairwoman Yoon--
He doesn't know it yet.
She never eats with others.
-He hasn't heard about the rules. -I guess. This is bad.
Ms. Yoon always eats alone.
She doesn't like having company or anyone talking to her.
-She doesn't like that kind of color. -She hates it.
She liked it.
No, she doesn't.
You know nothing about her.
I don't think I know nothing about her.
What's wrong with you?
She's very sensitive, like a cat.
She only eats eggs that are boiled for 8 minutes and 27 seconds.
If an egg is boiled for 8 minutes and 30 seconds, she says it's too dry.
She can sense it right away.
You should study her taste well
in order to survive longer.
Think of it as advice from your superiors and keep it in mind.
Do I not know much about your taste?
What do you mean?
Your employees seem to know it well.
They even know how you like your eggs done.
That's not important.
No others know my taste better than you.
What's your taste?
You.
I told you when we first met.
I said your face was totally my type.
Why do you act like you don't know?
Is this supposed to be your place when you get married?
I never imagined the first man to cross the threshold here
would be you.
Right. I didn't see this coming either.
You have nowhere to go, so I'll let you stay here for a few days.
You can't stay here long.
I won't. I told you already.
I was supposed to take the flight today,
but because of some situation, I need to stay a few more days.
-Even if I want to stay longer, I can't. -Don't leave any trace here.
You will be only breathing in here.
Okay.
I will get going.
I will take the car.
Turn off all the lights in ten minutes.
There might be a random house inspection.
Are you leaving just like that? Aren't you hungry?
I'm hungry.
Would you like some instant noodles?
This is my first time eating instant noodles alone with a woman.
-Don't try to read too much into this. -I didn't.
Instant noodles have a social implication.
What implication?
"Would you like instant noodles?"
We don't say this to anyone in South Korea.
I mean, I'm okay,
but if you ever hear other guys
say this to you, you have to say,
"No," flatly.
Why should I say no?
I like it.
What? What is it that you like?
Instant noodles? The man?
Or...
me?
Why did she smile?
Am I funny?
But I wasn't that funny.
Why does it
make me so curious?
Fine.
I will ask her.
I will just call her like a man.
I will ask her why she smiled. It's as simple as that.
The person you have reached is not available.
Did she go to bed?
Already?
Maybe she hasn't arrived home yet.
Is that why she doesn't answer?
Or did she just ignore my call?
Why?
Is she playing hard to get?
What is it?
You haven't seen the missed call yet?
And it's so bright already.
Does she get up late?
Let's not be curious.
I mean, it's not a big deal.
It's because I'm not eating well these days.
-Hello. -Why did you call me?
I did? Did I call you?
I didn't know. It must have been a mistake.
Did you call me as soon as you woke up?
Then forget it.
Wait, wait!
Is there something else you want to talk about?
What are you doing today? I mean...
What do I do today?
Why ask me?
I have no one else to ask.
I know no one here.
I have some things I want to ask you.
Should I come to you?
It's a little too far. I don't have a car either.
You took the car.
-So? -Why don't you come over?
Hello?
Did she hang up?
No, she didn't say, "I will hang up."
Was it disconnected?
Is the reception weak here?
What happened?
What's wrong with me?
Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?
I told you to stay by Dan's side and take care of her!
Myeong Eun,
why don't you go to my camp and ask any of the soldiers there?
Ask them if they have seen me around lately.
Since Dan has come back, I was never in the camp.
Then how could you miss something like this?
The daughter of the owner of Pyongyang Department Store,
Seo Dan's engagement is called off.
The delay of her marriage with Ri Jeong Hyeok,
the son of the Director of the GPB,
is caused by Seo Dan's affair with another man.
Is this "another man"
the man I saw?
That's what I want you to ask her!
Fine. Stop it.
Dan. There's something I would like to discuss with you.
About what your uncle saw...
You tell her.
Do you remember the man I said I saw at the hotel?
Comrade Al, that is.
Alberto.
-What about him? -Well...
Your mother said she heard some rumor
at a breakfast meeting today.
-You tell her from here. -You stupid...
Well... I heard
that when you went to meet your friends yesterday,
some guy came to pick you up with a car.
Was the man this Comrade Al that your uncle saw?
Mom.
Yes? What is it?
I'm ready. Tell me.
I need to go somewhere now.
Now? Do you want me to come with you?
I guess you don't.
Bye.
It's happening.
What? An affair?
No, love. Hey, it's not like Dan was married
to Ri Jeong Hyeok.
Affair, my foot.
If that's where her heart goes,
I will support her.
-Really? -Yes.
Come on.
You don't even know who he is!
To be blunt, who cares,
as long as Alberto isn't a thief or a scammer?
Hello.
Come on out.
Are you here?
What are you looking at?
Come on down.
I will go down soon.
Give me ten minutes. No, give me five minutes.
You have three minutes.
Mom.
Your oldest son is here with an incredible piece of information.
I am tired today. Keep it short.
It really is incredible. How am I going to keep it short?
It's about what happened after Se-ri disappeared,
and how she came back safely after a month.
-Se-ri... -She was in North Korea.
Hey.
What did you say?
North Korea. The country that's on the news all the time.
He went through hoops to obtain this information.
What are you...
It's too early to be surprised.
Do you know what's even more shocking?
Yoon Se-hyeong, that jerk, knew.
That hyena!
-What? -Although he knew,
he hid the information.
Perhaps he wanted my sister to die in that frightening place.
That's exactly what he wanted.
I am certain of it.
How could he go that far to become an heir?
Mom, is it a good idea to give that heartless bastard
such power?
-Are you certain about this information? -Yes, I am.
There's a man called Manager Oh.
He is Gu Seung-jun's informant in China.
I realized that he met up with Se-hyeong and Sang-a a few times,
so I did some digging and found out about this information.
Manager Oh recently came to Seoul.
I don't know what he is scheming.
I think it might be related to Se-ri's comeback,
so I am investigating.
Sir.
So I heard.
This evening? Sure.
There are conversations to be had and calculations to be made.
Where should we meet?
Watch this.
I was so startled when I first saw it.
SUCH A HANDSOME GUY AND HIS HANDSOME MANNER
Who filmed it?
Someone filmed it with a phone and uploaded it.
I told you that you have to be careful.
I didn't know this would happen.
I was careless. I simply held the door.
My goodness. People keep posting.
The doorman at the department has the best manners.
He isn't a doorman, just a gentleman.
His legs are miles long.
-A babe magnet. -"Babe magnet"?
It means you are handsome.
I see. That's what it means.
I see the same term here.
Are you enjoying this?
No.
Whatever.
What does "GGW" mean?
I don't know. What does it mean?
"God's Gift to Women..."
You look so happy.
Do you want to sit down and read them?
Sure.
No, stay standing up.
Jeong Hyeok, I need to work.
You have a phone?
When did you get it?
Besides, who is calling you here?
Give me a second.
Did you make an appointment with Cho Cheol Gang?
At which location?
I need to go somewhere this evening.
Where?
Did you find out where Cho Cheol Gang is?
Not yet.
He made an appointment with a broker, so I want to go and check.
-I will drive you. Let's go together. -No.
It could be dangerous.
You are in Seoul, not Pyongyang.
You shouldn't go around by yourself.
I know it could be dangerous.
That's precisely why I can't bring you with me.
If I catch him there, I might leave this place right away...
tonight.
Right away?
Won't I get to see your face again?
I won't have time for that.
Then again,
you don't know how the situation will unfold either.
I understand.
Still,
I want to
hear your voice
if I won't get to see you again.
Give me your cellphone.
This is my number.
I downloaded an app
that shows each other's location...
just in case.
He will be okay, right?
Are you okay?
Tell me if it's difficult to find your way back.
I will come and get you.
What's the show Animal Farm doing?
It should cover a story on me since I am a big animal lover.
CALL
YOON SE-RI'S CURRENT LOCATION SE-RI'S CHOICE
Don't come.
-Why didn't you pick up... -Ri Jeong Hyeok.
It's good
to see you in South Korea.
I didn't think you would actually come. I am impressed.
Why do you have this phone?
I am with Yoon Se-ri right now.
You know that neither one of us can call the police, right?
I can't wait long.
Stay on the phone and come now.
-Where are you? -You don't need to know.
I have my eyes on you.
Raise the other hand, too.
If you try something funny, I will put a bullet in this woman's head.
Look ahead and walk.
If you touch a hair on her head,
I will kill you.
Sure. Say what you want to say, since this is your last chance.
Cho Cheol Gang!
Stop bullshitting!
Jeong Hyeok, run away.
He's lying.
He has a gun.
I'm okay, so run away.
7 YEARS AGO
Sweets. Sweets. I need some sweetmeat.
It's tasty.
It improves your mood when you are angry or depressed.
I see that you aren't Korean.
He could do much better.
You said you'd go to Cheongdam-dong and look for Se-ri's house.
Stop right there.
It's a lot harder to meet these two than I thought.
-Did Dan not come home? -My goodness.
Did you think I had no idea what kind of person you were down South?
No one will say anything about our looks now that we dressed up.
And I have a little surprise for you.
I need to bring her back there to verify something.
I just want to stay here with you.
