RI JEONG HYEOK
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Ri Jeong Hyeok.
It's good
to see you in South Korea.
I didn't think you would actually come. I am impressed.
I am with Yoon Se-ri right now.
You know that neither one of us can call the police.
I can't wait long.
Stay on the phone and come now.
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.
LIGHT CONTROL PANEL
Hey, Cho Cheol Gang!
Enough telling porky.
He's lying,
and he has a gun.
I'm okay, so run away.
Why is the light off?
I know. Is the building blacked out?
We should go down. Where's the machine room?
The machine room?
Make sure to investigate how he got to join our security team.
And restaff the night shift team
so the same thing never happens again.
No.
You don't have to report to the police.
Send me the CCTV footage.
Make sure it doesn't leak.
Oh, right. Did you find my phone?
I did, but it seems to have been run over by a car.
It's damaged, so I don't think you can use it.
Okay. Let's talk more about it tomorrow.
How is it?
It's nothing serious. It's just a slight cut.
I took care of it.
By the way, who is he?
Well, he's just...
Anyway, thank you for doing this.
I guess you know what I'm about to say.
Please make sure to keep it a secret.
So there's a guy?
Yes.
Good. She's dumber than I thought.
Dating at a time like this?
But...
why did she get him treated at her place instead of a hospital?
Has Se-ri ever
taken her date home before?
It's not been long since you got shot in the shoulder.
And now you're stabbed?
It's just a graze. You don't have to do this--
No.
I have to do this.
And...
I just can't believe Cho Cheol Gang, that crazy jerk
got a job in my company with a fake ID to do things like this.
I just can't forgive him.
I couldn't do anything up in North, but things are different here.
You protected me.
It must've been terrifying.
You're grateful, aren't you?
Then...
don't go anywhere until the wound heals up.
Only until it heals.
Just promise me this.
Once it heals,
even if you disappear into the blue,
I'll just accept it.
In Gangho-ri, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon Province,
an underground tunnel was found around a cave
where pickled shrimp is kept in.
According to the first investigation,
the tunnel is assumed
to be connected to the abandoned mine
in Jeungsan-ri, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon Province in North Korea
which is 9,296 meters away from the cave.
For the development purpose...
Welcome.
Ms. Yoon, are you sure it'll be okay? This place is a little...
Don't worry.
I'm a woman
who has
gone through
hell
and high water.
And Seoul is my turf.
Hello.
Tenants of Unit 25-1, 25-2, and 25-3.
As you've probably heard, I've acquired the ownership
of the buildings you are living in as of today.
-What? -What did she say?
She looks pretty.
And I have
a little surprise for you.
A week ago,
a bunch of gentlemen from around here who are fluent in both Korean and Chinese
got in a fight with a peculiarly handsome gentleman.
I believe you all are well aware of the incident.
We don't know.
What are you trying to say?
You don't know?
How can you not know about it there were knives flying around?
Chinese?
How does she speak Chinese?
I'm waiting for tip-offs about the people.
About who is behind it.
The one person who gets me the conclusive evidence
won't have to pay the monthly rents and maintenance fees
from now on.
-Seriously? -Is it free?
And...
Take a close look at the picture.
The person who finds out this guy will be rewarded.
The sooner, the bigger the money you can get.
-Who is he? -Bye.
Have you seen this guy?
No.
Where can we find him?
Hey, brother.
-Help me look for a guy. -I'll give you a photo.
That was impressive.
You didn't even seem intimidated.
I always pay back.
Whether it's kindness or grudge.
Speaking of which,
about your friend you talked about
who takes care of my insurance.
You mean Su-chan?
I'm so happy for her.
We won't exercise the right to indemnity,
but we couldn't take your name off the layoff list.
Now that Ms. Yoon Se-ri is alive, I thought it would be okay.
But the people above want to do it as planned.
What can I do?
I should do as I'm told.
I'm sorry.
Hello, Mr. Park Su-chan.
Do you not know me?
I'm the Ewa Wiśnierska of Korea,
Yoon Se-ri.
I heard what you had done for me while I was gone.
We should search around the DMZ.
Chang-sik, look into these materials. It's too soon to give up.
Let's see if there are more deserted islands in the Yellow Sea.
There must be more. Ms. Yoon is alive.
I'm a complete stranger to you.
I know you wanted me to come back alive
more than anyone else.
No, it's nothing. I just did it for my sake.
I didn't come here to express my gratitude to you.
While I was missing, you made an average
of 37 calls a day to Mr. Hong.
Well. Yes. I had things to tell him.
And you sent hundreds of text messages and emails.
I had some materials to send him.
The obsession made you find it out.
Se-ri one's voice.
This is Se-ri one. This is Se-ri one.
Did you hear that? What do you think? Do you think it's her voice?
Yes, I think it's her voice.
Right? It's her voice, right?
Right. I was really happy back then.
I admire the obsession.
So I was thinking
-about offering you a job. -What?
I know you are doing well in your current job now.
No, it's not like that.
Actually I just got fired--
I'll give you three times your salary.
With a lot of incentives. What do you think?
I'd love that, Ms. Yoon.
Thank you, Ms. Yoon.
I should thank you, Mr. Park Su-chan.
You can make coffee with this here instead of a cauldron.
NO ENTRY
He reached her a lot quicker than I thought.

EMANCIPATION
Hunting Dog got a job at Se-ri's Choice through the security subcontractor.
The CEO of NVD Security was once the target of his keeping business.
Cho Cheol Gang harbored criminals
from South Korea and other countries for money.
And now he's receiving their help here.
He is cleverer and more tenacious than I thought.
Now that he knows I'm here,
he won't make any rash actions.
But he'll soon come up with another way.
IF YOU'RE CONFIDENT, JUST BRING IT ON!

HERBAL MEDICINE SAUNA
Let's talk about today's achievements.
-Okay. -Okay.
I'll go first.
Today, in order to find out how Ms. Yoon Se-ri is doing...
-Why don't we eat meat? -I love meat.
Rice with stir-fried pork?
I lied in wait at Yoon Se-ri's office where she often shows up
trying to collect news.
Gosh, it's really shocking.
I know. I'm really curious what is going to happen.
Gosh, let's go.
Listening in on people's conversations,
I got a lot of useful inside information
that only the company officials would know.
Ms. Yoon, I think you've changed a lot.
What? What do you mean?
You used to eat alone all the time.
I realized I have a better appetite when I eat with others.
I didn't know that before.
By the way, Ms. Yoon. Who are you texting this whole time?
Could it be that
you're dating?
No.
-I see. -I see.
You're not.
How silly of me to say something like that.
Of course you're not.
Mr. No from the marketing team
and Ms. Yang from the overseas sales team
turned out to be dating.
-What? -What?
But Mr. No's wife sent an anonymous letter to the company.
Is Mr. No married?
Yes.
So the soap operas aren't so absurd.
Is that what you found out?
And it wasn't that simple.
It turns out Ms. Yang wasn't the only woman Mr. No has been dating.
My goodness.
So I made a list.
I guess Mr. No's wife has had enough.
-I agree. -Me too.
Why were you listening to all that?
It has nothing to do with Yoon Se-ri.
I thought they might talk about her at the end of the conversation.
So I couldn't leave the place.
So you've been talking for quite long,
but you ended up with nothing. Is that what you're saying?
What about you, Chi Su? What is it you have achieved?
Is it money?
I went to Gangnam, the heart of capitalism,
and extorted money from our enemies.
You said you'd go to Cheongdam-dong
and look for Se-ri's house.
That's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So I came up with a plan to narrow things down.
What plan?
Yoon Se-ri always said she eats meat
-for two meals out of three a day. -Yes.
Meat refers to that of land animals, so it's either beef, pork or chicken.
-Yes. -That's right.
So I decided to go with chicken
and wait around the most famous chicken restaurant in the neighborhood.
Gosh,
it does smell amazing.
I was just standing there.
But someone gave me his car key.
I guess that's because I give off a reliable impression.
Valet parking?
-Valet... -Keep the change.
Wait...
Hello. Please park my car.
You are the valet, aren't you?
Here you go.
Who are you?
So there was a misunderstanding.
The valet didn't come to work today,
so I was surprised that someone was parking.
I'm sorry.
Actually, we're short of hands today. So I was looking for someone.
Do you drive a motorcycle?
A motorcycle?
I learned it as I started walking.
So?
Did you deliver chickens?
Think about it.
Delivering chickens door to door,
I might end up Se-ri's place since she's crazy about meat.
Gosh.
So what? Did you get to deliver chicken to Se-ri's place?
I delivered chickens to a lot of places today.
-Yeong-bae. -Yes.
Half fried and half seasoned to Building 1, Unit 203, Gaenari Mansion.
Okay.
The first day isn't easy, is it?
You can eat this and get some rest until the next order.
Okay. Thank you.
EVERYTHING IS GOOD AT BBQ CHICKEN
Let me take a break for just one minute.
The person you are calling is on another line. Please dial again...
So did you find her place or not?
I guess
she ate beef today.
But I think she might eat chicken at least once in three days.
So you got nothing just like me.
You two said you would carry out your duty in an Internet cafe,
South Korea's storehouse of information.
Ju Meok, how did it go?
Since this is our first day,
we focused on understanding the circumstances and systems.
We also tried to analyze the sentiment of South Koreans
-to find out their feelings. -You watched dramas.
Yes.
Oh no.
No, Dae-gil. My goodness.
You can't die like this.
Gosh.

Jeong Hyeok.
Where are you going?
Well...
I need to go meet someone.
Why? Are you going to...
No.
Anyway, you can't go out.
The cut hasn't healed yet.
It's too dangerous to go out.
Isn't Exit Three of Cheongdam Station close from here?
It is close, but...
He's not dangerous. I just need to give him a good talking.
Hang on.
I think I got a text message earlier.
You purchased an item in a game?
I'll be out for a moment then.
It will take about 15 minutes.
Stop right there.
You played a video game?
You told me to use the computer when I'm bored.
Yes, I did.
But...
You're a level four wizard already?
Actually I'm distinguished in many different spheres.
Once I got the hang of it, I couldn't stop myself.
You bought a lot of items.
I'm a wizard, you know.
To rule the battlefield and accumulate experience points,
environmental and combo buffs are a must.
Also, to patrol the battle area and survive in pit fights,
I needed some guardians as well.
Farming dungeons just wasn't enough, time-wise.
Anyway, it was an arduous battle.
I see.
Then you should get some rest after such a tiring battle.
Where are you going?
"Let's MF?"
What does that mean, Jeong Hyeok?
I also didn't know what it stands for, so I looked it up.
It means "Let's meet up and fight."
So are you going out to meet up the player and fight now?
At Exit Three of Cheongdam Station?
It's not like that.
He hurts other people's feelings with violent words
and shows threatening behaviors.
I need to give him a good scolding and teach him a lesson.
Take off your jacket.
Sit.
He must be waiting for me now.
CHEONGDAM STATION
I knew it.
Tomato Cultivator is a coward.
CHEONGDAM STATION
I set the computer in kids' mode.
You can't access to gaming sites and adult sites.
From today, you can use the Internet only two hours a day.
Excessive gaming can be very dangerous to a competitive guy like you, you know.
Gosh, this is just too much.
No, it's not.
-Yes, it is. -No, it isn't.
I told you to collect information,
but you just had some fight with a guy named Tomato Cultivator or something?
I'm sorry.
My gosh.
What about you, Gwang Beom?
I was going to look around the neighborhood in Cheongdam-dong.
But I ran into unexpected difficulties.
What's wrong?
Every time I took a step, people approached me...
and gave me stuff like this.
What are these?
SN?
YJ?
JYB?
What codes are these?
What did they say giving this to you?
Do you belong to any agency?
You are the person we were looking for.
The person they were looking for?
Are they from the NIS?
Gwang Beom, did you blow your cover?
I don't look like a foreigner, so I can mingle freely with South Koreans anywhere.
But I guess you have a bit of up North about you.
I'm sorry.
Make sure to wear a mask and drop your eyes
when you go out.
Okay.
I knew it wouldn't be easy, but it's a lot harder
to meet these two than I thought.
I agree.
It's not easy at all.
Our budget's running low, too.
We got the news from Lieutenant Commander Cho.
He says he saw Ri Jeong Hyeok in South Korea.
He will soon contact Yoon Se-ri's family
and bring her here to reveal the whole thing.
You know what? If something goes wrong,
I might end up getting implicated in the matter.
I'm sure Director of the General Political Bureau is aware of this situation.
Don't make any rash moves before things become clearer.
Yes, sir.
AL
Why are you still up?
Dan.
There's been no electricity here the whole day.
That's good.
It must be dark there. Just keep quiet and go to sleep.
It's really cold here, and I'm sick.
I can't even charge my phone, so the battery--
Darn it.
If it's a lie, I'll make him regret this.
Gu Seung-jun?
Yes?
-My goodness. What's... -Gosh.
What are you doing here?
What does it look like? I'm dying here.
My eyes are sore.
I can't believe this. I can see my breath.
Get up.
No, it's cold.
You can't hit a patient.
Did you cook porridge for me?
Thank you.
If you looked around a bit, you could have found a furnace
and firewood.
Who would have thought there would be a furnace at an apartment?
Gosh, this porridge is something else.
Is it
that good?
It's so salty.
No, it's fine.
I might look like I've been well-off all my life,
but I have a story you cannot listen to without shedding tears.
This porridge reminds me of the days I lived on salty porridge.
Is that one of your porkies again?
-What? -Did you think I had no idea
what kind of person you were down South?
Why do you want to read this?
Well,
to kill some time.
After Se-ri broke off the engagement with you,
you ran away with the overseas fund from her second-oldest brother's company.
A British businessman, Gu.
That's you, isn't it?
Goodness, you're good at gathering information, too.
You are indeed the perfect woman.
If you're also trying to con me, quit dreaming.
I didn't dream about that.
When I tasted this,
I was truly reminded of the old days
and the last dinner I had
with my family.
My father was conned by someone he trusted,
so he lost his company.
And we ended up emigrating to the UK.
I had
the hardest time with the local food.
Nothing tasted good, and we didn't have much money.
One day, for dinner,
we ate porridge
with just salt in it.
And was that the last dinner you had with your family?
My father passed away shortly after, and my mother remarried.
And I went to a boarding school.
You saw what happened to your dad when he was conned.
Why did you con other people?
I want to say
that I was taking my revenge.
Then,
the people responsible for ruining your father's business
is Se-ri's family?
Right.
So
I wanted to put everything back to its place.
At first, I wanted to be his son-in-law,
so I could penetrate into my enemy camp like the Trojan Horse.
I won't fall for you.
I can see everything.
You're just laying the groundwork now for a bigger purpose.
It looks like you want to marry me so you can have it all.
And I don't think it will happen.
I grew up in a tough family,
so I have very sharp eyes.
Take some pocket money from my brother and wrap it up.
I failed because Se-ri was too smart.
But his brothers were not as smart, so I had a shot.
Her second-oldest brother was especially greedy.
Winning greedy people
is the easiest in the world.
At first,
I thought that getting back the money my dad lost including the interest
would be a proper revenge.
Go on.
Since my dad was conned, it's only fair to take my revenge,
but for some reason, it didn't feel good.
It only gave me a headache.
Someone once told me
that becoming happy is true revenge.
So wouldn't giving back all of the money
and living a happy life without any burdens
be my true revenge, Ms. Seo?
Who told you such nonsense?
If someone made me cry,
I should make that person bleed in tears. That's true revenge.
You are awesome indeed.
When will you take your revenge if you lounge around like a weakling?
You should focus on getting your energy back,
so you can go back to South Korea and ruin her family down to the ground!
Are you telling me that I should take my revenge or that you will?
Hey.
What? That's alcohol.
Wait. No!
Jeong Hyeok, what are you doing there all by yourself?
Do you want one?
Sure. But I don't want a beer. I want something else.
I'm getting drunk.
Are you drunk?
Totally.
I'm glad.
You're glad?
If you're really drunk,
I would like to say something.
Like what? What do you want to say?
That I'm pretty?
No.
How could you be so firm even when you're drunk?
Then, what?
That I
don't want to go back.
I don't want to go back.
I just want
to stay here with you.
I think I'm about to sober up.
What?
But you can't.
I didn't sober up.
Keep going.
I'm totally drunk right now.
When I sober up from this, I won't be able to remember a thing.
So
just tell me everything you want to tell me.
I want
to marry you here
and have a child who takes after you, too.
I like girls.
I like
twins.
What? Twins? I'm about to sober up again.
I hope you won't.
Okay.
Keep going.
What else do you want to do with me?
I'll play
the piano again.
You should.
You must.
I'll organize a piano concert for you.
Given your talent, you can perform at Seoul Arts Center.
Hold on.
Should I just buy Seoul Arts Center?
I think I'll be able to buy it.
You're really drunk.
I'm totally drunk.
I don't think I'll never sober up from this.
I want to see you
with gray hair
and wrinkles.
You growing old.
You'll still be pretty, right?
Of course.
I'm going to grow old very slowly.
If you want to see that,
you'll have to stay by my side for a very long time.
I should.
Jeong Hyeok,
you can stay by my side for a very long time,
but you shouldn't drink with other people.
What?
I found you way more attractive when you're drunk.
The thought of other women seeing you drunk like this
will make me so insecure that I won't be able to sleep soundly.
Let's settle that you'll only drink at home.
Let's do that.
You'll only drink at home, okay?
Promise me.
Stamp on it.
Copied and laminated.
Dan...
Did Dan not come home last night?
Gosh, my head hurts.
Goodness.
She was so determined to finish the bottle yesterday.
How can she sleep this soundly
next to a con man?
Just how reckless is she?
The person you have reached is not available.
She's not answering?
Myeong Seok.
Yes. Go on.
In my life,
I have never fully experienced your influence as a one-star general.
This is your chance.
Show me a glimpse of your power.
What?
How?
Find out everything you know about that guy, Alberto.
Okay.
You got it.
By the way, shouldn't we go visit her at least once?
It's been several days that Ms. Ma stopped coming outside her house.
What's your plan?
What if we visit a wife whose husband has been arrested
and get the short end of the stick?
You have a point. We don't know when the rest of the family
might get arrested.
It is dangerous to visit her.
Even so, I haven't seen her for several days.
I don't even know if she has enough firewood or food at her house.
Listen up.
The State Security Department is watching them like a hawk.
If you visit her at her house
and get arrested along with the family,
I cannot help you as the group leader.
So you should behave yourselves.
-Okay. -Okay.
Are you ready?
Jeong Hyeok, you look dashing today.
You said there was a big event today.
And there will be a big crowd.
Right. So that's why I need my bodyguard glued to me.
Wait. This is the watch.
What watch?
I told you about this watch.
There was a really nice men's watch at the pawnshop.
Are you listening to me?
People here don't listen to me.
I lost your present immediately after buying it that day, though.
It was a really nice vintage watch.
Was this the watch you were talking about?
Yes.
Where did you get this watch?
I can't believe this.
You also saved me without realizing it.
I did?
Did I save you like how you saved me?
You did.
ANOTHER CHOICE FROM SE-RI'S CHOICE
SE-RI'S CHOICE DEBUTS AT AN EXHIBIT HALL
This is
our golden opportunity, since Se-ri
will show up at this event no matter what.
But what if we go without a plan and get kicked out just like last time?
Don't you think we should dress up like South Korean men?
KITCHEN AND BATH: HOME AND LIVING
It's been a while since I spoke in front of a crowd.
So I'm nervous.
How do I look?
-You look splendid. -Really?
You don't look nervous at all.
Don't worry. Just talk to them.
All right, everyone.
To commence today's event,
I present the lady of Se-ri's Choice who returned to us miraculously.
I give you Chairwoman Yoon Se-ri.
We have been preparing to launch
Interior Choice by Se-ri's Choice for a long time.
And now, it has finally begun.
I would like to thank everyone who came here
to celebrate this with me.
I'm sure my disappearance
must have made you feel uncomfortable.
I will work harder
as much as I have caused you to worry.
Thanks to you, our company was able to grow
and make a lot of money.
So I sent you all a present.
Now.
It's a special bonus.
Thank you for your hard work.
All right. Let's open the shop
and start selling.
-Yes! -Yes!
I'll work hard!
No one will say anything about our looks now that we dressed up.
We just need to watch our language here.
Down here south, rich people often say this.
"How much? How much do you need?"
Really?
So I just need to be tenacious in asking the prices, right?
Yes.
That doesn't sound that hard.
March forward.
How much is this?
It's 3,710,000 won.
If that's the price for the table, a long sofa, and a chair,
it's reasonable.
That's the price for one chair.
I see.
But it's still reasonable.
This is the last one we have in stock.
Would you like to buy it?
Sure. I ought to.
Before I make a decision, I would like to meet with the chairwoman
of this company.
-Pardon? -I just had
a few questions about the product.
You can ask me those questions.
I'd like to buy this.
I see. The console table?
No, this table.
That's the console table, sir.
No, listen to me.
I want to buy this, that, and stuff over there, too.
How much would it cost for me to buy everything in here?
For people like me, time is gold.
Trying to choose a piece of furniture would be a waste of time.
-Right. -Right.
You'll buy everything in here?
Well, for me to buy everything in here,
it will be faster if I talk to the owner, right?
Negotiating on the price will be faster that way.
No, talking to us will be faster.
It's them, right?
Right. They kept asking me that they wanted to see the chairwoman.
Something is definitely off about them.
I heard from the headquarters
that she was almost attacked by a stalker a few days ago.
-Are they-- -Should we call the security--
Sir.
How may I help you?
I don't need help.
-I just eavesdropped. -Gosh.
Our operation has been compromised.
Let's get out of here.
What? Why?
That's the security guard we saw the other day.
If he reports us...
Hey, let's get out of here for now.
Eun Dong. Where is Eun Dong?
Where did Eun Dong go? Look for Eun Dong.
Eun Dong.
Gosh, that punk. Why is he sleeping there? Wake him up now.
-Hey, wake up! Wake up! -That punk.
We're about to get arrested!
Come out of there now.
Come out here.
Hey, Eun Dong!
-Hey, wake up. -Hey.
Eun Dong, we're about to get arrested here.
Come out of there. Come out now.
We might get arrested.
Come out!
Let's go.
Let's go. Eun Dong. Hurry.
Over there. There.
Excuse me! Wait!
Excuse me!
Sir! Your shoes!
You forgot your... Damn it.
He's not chasing us anymore.
I knew it. They catch on really quickly.
How did he single us out and chase after us like that?
Exactly.
I freaked out because of Eun Dong.
What happened to your shoes?
Oh, no. I was in such a hurry back there. I forgot them.
You should've been careful. It's freezing out here.
Sit down.
Why on earth were you sleeping on that bed?
Was sleeping our mission?
I'm sorry.
I have never been on such a comfortable bed before so I...
That's enough.
It's not like he wanted to sleep there.
He was just exhausted.
-Wear these. -No, thank you. I'm fine.
You punk.
What if you injure your feet?
We can't even go to a hospital, you know?
Wear them.
I'm sorry.
Captain Ri!
Why in the world did you come
all the way here?
How did you come here?
-Captain Ri. -Captain Ri.
Did you see my bodyguard?
I saw him a while ago.
Where in the world is he when he should be right by your side?
I'll chew him out.
That's unnecessary.
Se-ri, you should've told me if you were going
through something like that.
I'm hurt.
Aren't we family?
I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm busy right now.
North Korea?
Is it true that Se-hyeong tried to stop you from coming back?
Of course, it's true.
How could he call himself a human being?
Where did you hear that?
That's not important right now.
What's important is that we need to join hands.
It's two on one now. Let's destroy his family.
Is that why you're here?
Listen carefully.
Mom decided to support me.
So you should come to our side.
And unblock my number too. I'm your brother, you know.
Is that so?
Then how about
Then how about you and Mom join forces,
oust Se-hyeong,
and support me?
I was supposed to take over the company.
What?
I'm willing to give up my vested rights as the eldest son
and tackle this issue with you side by side.
Stop being selfish.
Then tell me where you heard what you've just told me.
Just tell her, honey.
Manager Oh told me.
He used to be Seung-jun's henchman.
I found out that he had been meeting Se-hyeong several times.
So I made him spill.
By the way, he's a bit suspicious.
Recently, he purchased a 50-pyeong apartment in Gangnam
-without a loan. -Isn't it obvious who gave him that money?
Find out who gave it to him and why
and let me know.
-Me? -Yes, you.
I'm a bit busy, so I should go.
Who is she to order me around?
But she told you to let her know once you found out.
Right.
That means she's going to unblock you.
She agreed to join hands with us.
Is that it?
Great job. You did well.

Jeong Hyeok, where are you?
What?
Se-ri!
No way. What's going on?
How could this be?
You shouldn't be here.
We missed you.
I could barely recognize you.
Chi Su, come here.
Don't embarrass me like this.
Gwang Beom, you too.
You're looking even more handsome.
Are you all doing well?
-Yes. -Yes.
I've missed you terribly.
-Me too. -We've missed you too.
-Really? -Not me.
What's wrong with your hair?
-Seriously. -Everyone else likes it.
My gosh.
All right, now.
You guys can chat later.
Right, this is...
My name is Jung Man Bok.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
I've seen you several times at the village
and heard your voice as well.
You know me?
Yes, you're Picky Princess.
Did you guys tell him?
You know the saying, "Walls have ears and the doors have eyes"?
Well, you could say he is the wall and the door.
This is my house.
-What? -Wow.
This capitalistic country has bizarre doorknobs as well.
It looks nice to me.
Wow.
Don't be deceived by such elegance.
Come on in.
Wow.
What are you doing?
I'm checking for any wiretaps.
There are none.
How do you know?
-This isn't even your house. -What do you mean?
Of course, this is my house.
Are you saying you live alone in this gigantic house?
-How many rooms are there? -There are five, and I use all of them.
Five rooms all to yourself?
-What do you use them for? -One is my bedroom, the other my study,
and the rest are my exercise room,
a guest room, and a vacant room. Happy?
You're quite quick-witted. I'll give you that.
I can't get over how you're provided
with warm water all the time.
I'm the most amazed by the endless amount of electricity.
It's impressive how the floor is warm despite no furnaces around.
-You're right. -I agree.
Gosh, this place is fascinating.
Mother.
Goodness.
Did you make this?
You should eat and gain energy.
You're right.
The world isn't over.
Let's eat.
Mother.
Will we have to leave this village?
Don't say such a thing.
We don't know what will happen to your father just yet.
Then why did you forbid me from hanging out with my friends?
Stay here.
-Who is it? -Yeong Ae.
Why are you here?
This is for you.
Goodness.
We have plenty of food.
We're doing fine. You should take them back.
But still--
Yeong Ae.
You like fermented bread, right?
Goodness.
When did you come here?
Just now.
You're so stupidly bold.
You could get punished for being here.
Leave this instant!
Eat well.
You need energy to hang in there.
She's right.
Didn't you hear me?
I told you to leave.
Go!
Go! Go!
Yeong Ae.
You came out just in time.
I thought you'd need more firewood,
so I brought some.
If you want to stay healthy, your room
needs to be warm...
Goodness, you just won't listen, will you?
It's dangerous for you to be here!
Leave right now if you don't want to be punished!
Yeong Ae.
You need to stay strong, Yeong Ae.
-Don't cry. -Don't cry.
-Yeong Ae, don't cry. -Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Eat up.
Chi Su, is it good?
Do you think I'm enjoying this?
-Then? -You emptied out Captain Ri's storage,
so I'm doing the same.
You'll be starving in your later years.
Sure. Continue on with your mission.
If you want me to become broke,
you'll need to consume all the beef in this country.
You're still telling porkies, aren't you?
I'm not.
Why aren't you eating?
Eat up.
It must've been extremely difficult to come all the way here.
Just thinking about it breaks my heart.
I'm sorry to say this.
We're the ones who suffered,
but why is she getting the most meat?
You can get your meat yourselves.
He can give it to whomever he wants.
In the South, they call people like him
"Loverboy."
Ju Meok, you know everything, don't you?
"Loverboy"?
Is that like a grocery boy or a newspaper boy?
You could say that since these boys are all good at what they're named after.
Then again, crossing the border just because of a woman
is an insane act that is worth going down in history.
That's not it.
Didn't I explain everything that happened in a very logical manner?
He's right.
In that sense, Captain Ri is second to none.
You're the best.
You're right.
You're the best.
-Have some more. -I'm full.
Captain Ri.
We're running out of time.
Your father told us to bring you back
as soon as possible.
We need to leave as soon as the Military World Games ends.
Your father made sure
that we'd come home safely.
Didn't you hear everything that I said?
Cheol Gang may abduct Se-ri and bring her back to the North.
He may attack my father and me.
How will we catch him when we don't even know where he is?
You're running out of time.
Se-ri
has a high social status and many people on her side.
She'll be fine here.
There's a Jewish proverb that says,
"A rich man has heirs but no sons."
They never eat with us unless it's regarding money.
Do you have any other soup?
It's Se-ri's birthday today.
Since when did you care?
You knew, didn't you?
About what?
That Se-ri was in North Korea.
Hey!
You didn't go overseas on a business trip last time.
You were taking care of that matter, weren't you?
NAME OF INDIVIDUAL: YOON SE-RI
ADDRESS: GANGNAM-GU, SEOUL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE INDIVIDUAL: FATHER
Where did you hear that?
Why didn't you tell me?
Did you think
I'd use it against your daughter and give her a hard time or something?
I can't say no.
Did you also know
that Se-hyeong
knew she was there
and hired some men to stop her from returning?
This is Se-ri one. This is Se-ri one.
The police said
he told them that this wasn't her voice.
He even refused to get the voice analyzed.
We received countless reports on her after the news broke out.
They claimed to have spotted her.
They claimed to have footages and voice recordings of her.
When I went to check them,
they were all fake. I'm sure this one is too.
It's a scam.
-No, sir. -No, sir.
A close associate of Se-ri's provided a copy of her voice,
and this man, who was in charge of her insurance,
faked this for his sake.
-Sir, that's not-- -Father!
Are you going to believe these men whom you've never met
or me, your son?
Are you serious?
Did Se-hyeong
really try to stop her from returning?
Are you leaving already?
I have a breakfast meeting.
Are the others still asleep?
They must've been exhausted.
You should stay with them today.
-I have something to say-- -Oh, right.
How is your wound?
It's fine.
It wasn't serious, to begin with.
I see.
I'm relieved.
You kept your promise.
You stayed here until your wound healed up.
You didn't leave.
From now on, even if you suddenly vanish,
I won't be startled.
I won't feel hurt.
I won't wait for you.
So don't worry about me.
Goodbye.
For this season, the "Rock Chic Look" is the style we're aiming to launch.
It's a tough and rebellious rock style,
that goes hand in hand with leather jackets and metal accessories...
What is it?
I need to go out right now.
You met Se-jun, didn't you?
I'm sure you've heard.
About what?
About what Se-hyeong did.
Listen carefully.
Mom decided to support me.
I'm not going to let this slide.
So--
For me?
Or for your eldest son Se-Jun?
-Se-ri... -You need to be sure.
Because
it may sound like
you're my biological mom.
You won't believe anything I say.
But it's not like that--
You're right. I don't believe you.
You never came back.
Se-ri.
Do you want to wait here while I get something warm to drink?
Okay.
Mom.
Don't fall asleep.
Mom will be here soon.
She'll be here by the time I reach 100.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Ninety-eight.
Ninety-nine.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Ever since that day,
-there's a chilling night sea in my heart. -Hey.
-Hey, wake up. -And the sun never shines
-Hey, kid. -on that sea.
No matter how many times I counted,
the sun never showed up.
And you never came back.
Ever since then, one thought lingered in my mind.
"Why did I come to this world
and turn my mom's life into a living hell?
It would've been better had I not been born.
I feel sorry...
for breathing."
Okay.
You don't have to
believe everything that I say.
Don't you visit me on my birthday ever again.
It's the worst.
You see,
I feel the proudest regarding my job
when I can connect those who have similar needs.
We have
similar needs?
Definitely.
From what I see, your respective needs
are different yet similar.
For instance, you two
want Yoon Se-ri gone.
And this gentleman here needs
Yoon Se-ri to come to him.
You need her to come to you?
What does that mean?
Are you going to bring her back to the North or something?
Do you need to know that?
Aren't you happy as long as she's gone?
What's with his attitude?
Of course, I should know.
Will she be safe
back there?
I need to bring her back there
to verify something.
Thanks to her, I've lost many things.
I need to retrieve them.
But I can't
guarantee her safety.
Isn't that what you want?
I'll be getting rid of your future troubles.
Hold on.
"Getting rid of"?
This is too much.
He's a dangerous man.
Are you determined to ruin my life?
How dare you introduce me to someone like him?
I'll pretend like this rendezvous never happened.
He and I never met, okay?
Sir...
Darn it.
By the way,
you'll need some money
to carry out your plan.
You'll need a lot of information as well.
Do you know
where she lives?
Then...
don't go anywhere until the wound heals up.
Only until it heals.
Just promise me this.
Once it heals,
even if you disappear into the blue,
I'll just accept it.
Jeong Hyeok.
Did you leave?
Did you?
This soon?
Didn't you say this was how they celebrated?
They all seemed to like it.
Se-ri, today is your birthday, right?
Congratulations.
Congratulations, woman.
Se-ri.
Don't come near me.
I look like a mess right now.
I'm sorry.
We startled you on your birthday.
That's not it.
I wasn't startled.
I was scared.
From now on,
I'd remember this day on my birthday.
I'd remember this good day.
I told you not to come.
I don't want you to see my face.
Next year,
the year after that,
and even the one after that
will all be good.
Because I'll be thinking about you.
I'll be grateful that you were born into this world.
I'll be grateful
that the person I love is still breathing.
That's why your birthday
will always be a good day.
DEFEATED
I won't let this slide, Desperate Effort.
Today
is February 2.
It's my birthday.
And...
I am on top
of a bridge
in Sigriswil.
I have no regrets.
Dad,
Se-jun,
Se-hyeong,
and Mom.
I'm going far away.
Don't live too happily, though.
Every now and then,
do think of me.
What?
He could do much better.
See?
It wasn't a coincidence.
It was fate.
Jeong Hyeok.
Where are you going?
Well...
I need to go meet someone.
You know, they were just flings.
Gosh, is Little Hyeoky getting jealous?
Did Dan not tell you and spent the night out?
We're nothing like what you think, Mom.
It's just me. I have fallen for Dan.
All you have to do is answer my questions.
Do you mean that I may take her or get rid of her as I please?
So we're saying goodbye again just like we always do.
I am going to remember you no matter what happens.
