ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
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.
I thought you had left.
Are you planning to cry like that once I leave?
No one plans to cry.
Tears come unexpectedly.
I don't want you to cry alone.
Since I cried today, I won't do it again.
I got vaccinated just now.
I heard
by chance.
Stop making things
hard for your father
and go back.
I will take care of that matter.
There is something called the Bambi Syndrome.
When a baby deer
meets people in the mountains,
people pet it, saying it's so cute.
But once people leave,
the baby deer
can't go back to its family.
Due to the smell
of people on its body,
its family
rejects it.
The baby deer that is rejected from its group
dies in the end.
Are you worried
that I will be rejected and abandoned
by my group?
I will protect myself.
Believe in me.
In my world,
I will use my status, people, money, and everything else.
Cho Cheol Gang...
No.
No one will be able
to take me down.
Believe in me...
and go back, Jeong Hyeok.
Go back to your world.
Wasn't that the first time she cried?
You are right.
Even when she crossed the ceasefire line, she didn't cry.
Even when she got caught on the smuggling boat, she didn't cry.
And even when she failed to escape through the airport,
she didn't cry.
Just how much did you listen in on us?
Why aren't they coming back?
I hope the two of them just run away!
Don't say something so dangerous.
The Military World Games will be over in a few days.
We must go back with Jeong Hyeok before then.
I am sorry.
She didn't even blink when I told her that I will bury her.
Seeing her cry so suddenly
got me flustered.
I will go out for a second.
-What are you doing outside? -I was worried.
Are you okay?
I am okay.
-Let's go inside. -Okay.
Everyone is worried and waiting for you.
I got startled because I didn't expect such an event.
-I am sorry. -Don't be.
Were you guys worried about me?
Gosh, no one worried about you.
Pyo Chi Su, I didn't expect anything from you.
Who chose this cake?
Where did you get such an old-fashioned cake?
-Let's light the candles. -Okay.
I have only seen this in a drama.
This is my first time lighting candles on a cake.
Let's turn off the light.
All right.
Let's begin.
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Take this bouquet of flowers
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
One more time!
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Take our blessings
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.
I never thought I would hear the North Korean birthday song.
You know that you need to make a wish
before you blow out the candles, right?
Didn't you know?
I am teaching you so many things.
All right. Close your eyes
and wish for what you want the most.
You blow out the candles after that,
and your wish will come true.
Did you finish making a wish?
Let's blow out the candles.
One, two, three.
Live a good life.
Thank you.
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.
Thank you, everyone.
EPISODE 13
Come in.
I hope I didn't disturb your rest.
You didn't.
What brings you here?
What is it?
Do you have something for me?
Is it my birthday present?
It's a present,
but it's nothing big.
It doesn't matter. Let me see what it is.
Let me tell you in advance
that this isn't a token of anything.
You don't have to give it a special meaning.
Okay. I won't do that.
I had to do something for your birthday when I found out about it.
And I had a bit of free time,
so I bought it.
Although I bought it without any thoughts...
If you think it's nothing,
you can pawn it.
Are you sweating?
It's hot in here.
Give it to me. Is this your first time giving a present to a woman?
Why are you so nervous?
It's a ring.
It should fit.
It fits perfectly on my thumb.
That one is mine.
What?
Are these couples' rings?
Is it your first time to receive a present from a man?
You shouldn't have taken it away from me. Had you waited a little,
I would have put it on your finger.
Gosh,
when you said you hadn't dated anyone,
I think you were kidding.
Tell me.
Where did you learn this?
Where did you learn to make a woman's heart flutter?
Give it to me.
Let me do it for you too.
Thank you.
It's the prettiest ring I have ever seen.
I won't take it off for the rest of my life.
I won't mind if you do.
No matter what happens,
I will remember you.
I can't go further because the road is blocked.
You can't go further? Here, take it.
Why is the road blocked?
For goodness' sake.
-For goodness' sake. -The hour is late,
so I didn't expect to see you.
-Have you been well? -Sure.
I'm glad you're here. There are many questions I've wanted to ask you.
-Pardon? -The house was ready quite a while ago,
but why are the newlyweds nowhere to be seen?
As you know,
Jeong Hyeok has an emergency at the outpost line.
Right?
It's just that
I saw a strange man go into the house.
As the people's president of this neighborhood,
I was thinking that maybe I should make a visit.
I should have given this to you earlier. Happy New Year.
-You shouldn't have. -You shouldn't have.
That strange man you saw is my nephew.
His name is Alberto.
Alber...
He recently came back from Europe when he received the country's calling.
I told him to stay in Pyongyang,
but he insisted upon staying here because he missed the countryside.
-I see. -Yes.
The air quality is better here.
Yes.
Then...
She seems to be in a hurry.
She seems to be in a great hurry.
I think she was lying when she said he is her nephew.
I agree.
Is Dan having an affair?
It will be a bloodbath.
Hello.
-Comrade Al. -That's right. I am Comrade Al.
We have met before, Mother.
-Mother? -I was thinking
about visiting you in Pyongyang.
-Me? -Of course.
I am honored that you've come all the way here in person.
-Dan is here, right? -Yes.
She is here,
but she drank vodka until sunrise and passed out.
Again?
I was about to wake her up
and make her eat some pollack soup.
Is that so?
Could it be that
Dan slept here without telling you?
Her cell phone was off all day.
Gosh, you must have been startled.
I was a bit startled, but...
I will apologize to you in her stead,
so please don't scold Dan too much.
-Where in the world is Dan? -She is in this room.
-This room? -Yes.
For goodness' sake. I can't believe her.
Wake up right this instant!
What do you think you are doing?
Mother, you haven't had dinner yet, right?
Please come on out and eat.
All of these side dishes look familiar.
I think they were in my fridge until yesterday.
Every table needs candlelight.
I heard that you are a British citizen.
What do your parents do?
-Mom. -My father used to run a business.
He passed away a long time ago, though.
My mother remarried,
and I haven't seen her in 17 years.
Is that so?
What kind of relationship do you have with Dan?
I have a crush on Dan.
I know that she likes
and is engaged to another man.
Why do you like
Dan?
Her disciplined sternness
and noble elegance that comes from it.
Her confidence and grace which make her strong before anyone.
All of those are the reasons.
I think they were passed down from her mother's side.
I like him.
He figured out that your elegance comes from me.
He is a wise man
who has an eye for people.
We don't have that kind of relationship.
But he carried you home on his back,
and you spent the night with him at the apartment I got you.
I told you, didn't I?
I only let him stay over because of some situation.
Then when Jeong Hyeok returns from the outpost line,
will you marry him as planned?
Why wouldn't I?
I am Jeong Hyeok's fiancée.
JURI MOTEL
It's you.
-Who are you? -I think you know.
I remember. We talked on the phone, Mr. Ri Jeong Hyeok.
Instead of showing up to an appointment, you sent someone else.
I had an emergency that day.
I shouldn't have done that. I did you a disservice. I am sorry.
Gu Seung-jun told me
that you are a talented broker, but I should never trust you.
Given the nature of the job, I connect people,
but I'm not necessarily loyal to them.
You don't need to be loyal to me.
Just answer the questions I ask.
I have a question.
It seems like the Military World Games will end in five days.
Does the team's bus return that day?
Yes.
We need to get on that bus no matter what.
I see.
And it would be the safest for Jeong Hyeok to take that bus.
His father took measures despite the danger.
But if he doesn't go back then, he won't be safe anymore.
It won't do if he fails to go back.
He must go back
no matter what.
She told you not to come?
That's right. She said she will do the housekeeping for now,
so I haven't gone to her place for two weeks.
Are you saying
Yoon Se-ri does the laundry and cleans the house
without a housemaid?
AUTOMATIC
Se-ri, what are you doing?
I am cleaning.
With that?
There are so many interesting things in South Korea.
I would buy everything if only you could take them back.
This is like a magical pass.
People usually call it "M.C."
-What's that? -"Mom's card."
Since this is Se-ri's card, let's call it "S.C."
Get to the point. What do you want us to do with it?
S.C. is a card with no spending limit.
You can buy anything you want with it.
Really?
You have no fear.
Don't you believe me when I tell you that I will make you a beggar
-in your later years? -No.
Go ahead and spend all of my fortunes.
Do something about your clothes.
Pyo Chi Su, you are the worst.
This is driving me crazy.
You guys are like fashion terrorists.
Terrorists? Who do you think we are?
-We aren't terrorists. -We aren't like that.
Fashion terrorists have nothing to do with an actual terror attack.
It means that you have no sense of fashion.
Really?
We do have a sense of fashion!
No, you don't. So do your best.
Before you leave,
I want to give you a present.
Buy everything you've wanted to get, eat,
and wear so far.
Make sure you do that.
Chi Su.
At first glance, South Korea seems to be a wealthy country.
But the marketplace reveals the truth.
Look at these pants. They are ripped up like a rag.
They should have patched them up before selling them.
I think people wear such jeans for style.
Style, my foot! Your knees will get cold.
My goodness.
Give me the same pair of jeans.
Do you like it?
Buy it in every color.
Buy ten of them.
Can I really do that?
My siblings will love it.
Of course.
One costs...
Five thousand won?
It's not cheap, but...
Forget it. Buy everything.
Are there clothes you like?
There are so many clothes that I don't know what to pick.
This is...
the only thing I need.
-How does it move? -My goodness.
You know
Tonight
I am the same as always
Thoughts of you
What are they doing?
I think they are beggars.
I knew it.
There are beggars everywhere.
I want those clothes.
In secret
Hey.
Let's talk about changing the chairwoman of Se-ri's Choice
once more.
That item was rejected after Chairwoman Yoon came back.
What if
Chairwoman Yoon has major faults
that keep her from running the company?
Don't you want to know where Chairwoman Yoon was
while she was missing?
You want to backstab her as soon as she comes back alive.
You are one impressive woman.
I am working hard to make your son successful.
If you make me a bitch, I will be disappointed.
No mother would sacrifice her daughter to make her son successful.
I know where Se-ri has been,
and the fact that you and Se-hyeong stopped her from escaping sooner.
My husband knows as well.
Se-hyeong is in Hong Kong for work, right?
Tell him to come back right away. Come to the house with him.
Last night, Cha Sang-u posted something
that was clearly meant for you on his social media account.
Look at this.
It must be about another woman.
"I am glad you are back safely. Shall we go out again?
It's 2:00 a.m. and alcohol is making me honest."
It's clearly and definitely a message for you.
Why are you making a fuss about a drunk man's words?
Stop and...
But reporters keep asking us if he and you will get back together.
Get back together, my foot!
It has happened before.
Was it when she dated Shin Yeong-woong?
No, it was when she dated that idol singer, Won Ji-hun.
They dated on and off.
-It was a total mess. -Seriously.
Stop!
I have so much work
and absolutely no time for this useless babbling.
Hurry up and get back to your work.
Yes, ma'am.
Lee Hyeok, what are you doing?
Come on.
No. Hyeok stays.
-What? -I have
important and secret orders for him.
-Hurry up and get out. -Okay.
I guess you weren't lying when you said you'd go back and date men.
Those men just passed through my life briefly.
Is that so?
Yes, it is.
Am I passing through your life?
Tell me if it happened already.
My goodness.
Little Hyeoky, are you jealous?
No!
Whose fault do you think it is?
Are you saying it's mine?
You should have shown up sooner in my life.
How could I do that with the ceasefire line between us?
That's why I am so understanding.
It's a sad history, not your personal fault.
In any case, it was hard for me too.
"Is he the one?" Then he wasn't the one.
"Is he the one?" Then he wasn't the one either.
Since my fated one was in North Korea, I kept breaking up with men.
It was so exhausting and stressful.
Since we met each other after many twists and turns,
why don't we bunk off?
Are you up for it?
Are you satisfied that you bunked off today?
The day you spend after bunking off is never satisfactory.
Since it always happens without a plan,
you can't do much despite the will.
But it's memorable,
even if you don't do much.
Have you ever bunked off before?
-Yes. -What did you do?
I didn't do much either.
I skipped my class and went outside to take photos.
Then I saw someone who was thinking about jumping off
a tall bridge.
Who?
She was a woman. She was my type.
I see why you said such days are memorable.
I asked her to take a picture of me.
Stop it. You don't need to give me the details.
She asked me if she must take it at such a scary place.
With trembling hands, she took the camera.
Where is that?
Switzerland.
On the Sigriswil Panorama Bridge.
That woman was quite memorable.
Even after that, I wondered
if she was doing all right
and if she would do anything bad
every now and then.
Because she was my type.
Then...
the woman next to you was
Ms. Seo Dan?
You said I could do better than her.
I wonder...
how many times we have met.
I am
very happy now.
They say
one sees the flashback of the best moments in their life
for a moment
before they die.
I think this will be
one of those moments.
We should win, right?
-What the... -Look at him.
-Oh, come on! -What was that?
-What are you doing? -Hey!
What's with all the fuss?
They're watching a soccer game.
What an ultimate entertainment.
It's an international competition.
Hey, who cares about international competitions?
-Chi Su is right. -Right.
We must focus on our mission, which is to send Captain Ri
safely back home, and go back home.
-But it's a match between Korea and Japan. -What?
JAPAN: 0, KOREA: 0
Go, go!
-Keep going! -Just go!
-Run! -Run!
-Run faster!
-Go! -Shoot!
Captain Ri!
Se-ri!
-Korea for the win! -Korea for the win!
-Republic of Korea! -Republic of Korea!
-There you go. -Go!
-Oh, come on! -It was so close!
-Good. Keep going. -Go, go!
-Go! -Keep running!
-Go! -Shoot!
-Cheers. -Let's drink.
That was great.
I'm paying for all the chicken today!
Yangsongi beoseot.
Why do you always say words that end with "seot"?
Damn it.
Drink it up.
Drink up.
Hurry and drink up
Drink it up now
If you don't, you're a coward If you drink it, you're a hero
One more time!
Hurry and drink up
Drink it up now
If you don't, you're a coward If you drink it, you're a hero
Thank you...
It's even nicer to see you out here.
When I found out that you betrayed me, I got angry at first.
But I understood.
One can't only live off the same food all the time.
However, you must face the reality.
Do you think
the Director of the GPB will protect you when you get back?
After all, you're the person who killed his eldest son.
After being used, you will be abandoned.
Was it the Director of the GPB that has been providing for your family?
Was it Ri Jeong Hyeok who freed your old mother from the prison?
Could you please just turn a blind eye to me?
I would like to pay for what I did
to Ri Mu Hyeok.
Paying your debt to a dead man or...
saving your only child's life. What's your choice?
What do you mean?
It's U Pil from this morning.
Sir.
Loyalty and justice. They're all good, but...
the reason I don't pursue them is not because I don't know they're good.
Rather than those fancy ideas,
I choose to protect my family and my kids. That's why.
Who can blame that?
And I used to be a child beggar who was born on the street.
I have no one to protect and nothing to fear.
That's why I can risk everything and just go for it.
If I catch Ri Jeong Hyeok here and take Yoon Se-ri back home,
I can go up to a higher position.
So...
make your decision.
Comrade.
I think it's better that you sleep up here.
I said I'm fine. Enjoy your bed.
Thank you, sir.
Before you guys met us, you slept in a sauna?
Yes.
But that place was really great too.
There are so many interesting things in South Korea.
What else was interesting?
I went to a place called "internet cafe" with Ju Meok.
I did this thing called "computer game" for the first time.
You played a computer game too.
Well, it's a good experience to have at your age.
At first,
I saw the amateurs shooting rifles like children.
So I thought, "I will show them how to do it," and started to play.
But it was harder than I'd thought.
It's not as easy as it looks.
That's right.
So I studied the features of the weapons and armors I had.
But then some South Korean punk
armed with expensive gear showed up and messed up everything.
Oh, no.
I got angry and said, "Stop hiding behind the computer.
Let me see your face."
-And? -He didn't show up.
After all, he was one of those typical rich and cowardly capitalist bluffers.
That stupid Tomato Cultivator.
What was your name in the game?
It was Desperate Effort.
-I see. -So I--
Why don't you stop talking and go to bed now? It's late.
Where are you going?
To get some water.
Sleep tight.
What's wrong?
If you're hungry...
No, I'm not.
Is it because you miss your family?
You will soon be able to see them again.
This is all because of me. I'm sorry.
IGNORANCE IS DARKNESS!
We have been thinking
if there is any way we could help you, Yeong Ae.
And Myeong Sun has something to say to you.
What is it?
I can't reach my husband who went on a long-term business trip.
So I went to his close friends
and asked them some questions.
Friends... You mean by the wiretappers?
-Yes. -You know how good wiretappers are.
There's nothing they don't know about our village.
You're right.
Yes.
Then what did his friends
say to you?
They said the incident the Senior Colonel was involved in
happened because...
Cho Cheol Gang tried to dig up dirt on the Director of the GPB.
-Oh, my. Yeong Ae. -Goodness.
How dare he try to mess up with such a high-ranking official.
Cho Cheol Gang must have been killed secretly.
My goodness.
Why does Ri Jeong Hyeok happen to be
at the front line now of all times?
I know!
It might not be the direct way
to the Director of the GPB,
but I know a detour nearby.
-What? -The Director of the GPB's
-future daughter-in-law's mother's... -Yes?
...nephew who used to live in Europe.
What?
Goodness. I can't believe I took a bath with the water boiled in a cauldron.
Now I have done everything.
Comrade Nephew from Europe, are you in there?
Please open the door.
Maybe he's not in there.
Yes, he is.
He's in there.
We just saw the cauldron's steam
coming out of this apartment.
There was steam indeed.
Right?
Keep knocking.
Open the door.
We can unlock the door if we want.
But that's illegal.
-What's up? -It's Dan.
Well, as the president of the village, I just wanted to check--
Please come in.
-"Come in"? -Okay.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey.
Hello.
Looks like I have many visitors.
Oh, my. I'm sorry that we all showed up so suddenly.
I hope we didn't make you feel uncomfortable.
I feel uncomfortable.
Yeong Ae, isn't it great?
We came to meet the Director of the GPB's daughter-in-law's mother's
nephew who used to live in Europe.
But we happened to meet his future daughter-in-law.
What's your business?
This is
what I got from my mother-in-law.
I have been treasuring it dearly.
Then keep treasuring it dearly.
As a matter of fact,
my husband is imprisoned by the State Security Department.
Could you put in a word for him to the Director of the GPB,
who will be your father-in-law?
I don't accept personal requests.
Is there anything else you want to say?
Come on, Dan.
Don't be so uptight.
She might sound as cold as the cold wind in the winter,
but her heart is warm like a spring breeze.
Please leave me the name of your husband.
I will put in a good word for him with my aunt.
Oh, my. Comrade Nephew from Europe
can talk sense, right?
Please take good care of it.
Don't you worry.
By the way, I feel like I have seen you before.
Me?
I saw you coming out of Captain Ri's house the other day.
-Is that true? -Yes.
I sent him on an errand.
I needed to pick up something.
-I see. -I see.
That's right.
Goodness. I'm finally outside. It's all thanks to you.
I have been staying home these last few days and it was hard.
Tell me.
Why did you go to Jeong Hyeok's place?
You know Jeong Hyeok is at the front line.
Don't you think of lying to me.
I don't lie to you, Dan. I decided not to.
The thing is...
Ri Jeong Hyeok contacted me from the front line.
Why?
Cho Cheol Gang didn't die while being transported.
He disappeared.
He went to South Korea. He wants to bring Se-ri back
and destroy Ri Jeong Hyeok's family.
And?
So Ri Jeong Hyeok...
went to Seoul.
To save Se-ri and catch Cho Cheol Gang.
He didn't want to trouble people around him,
so he didn't tell anyone about it and asked me favors.
So I ran some errands and set him up with some people.
I'm not sure why I did that, but...
Dan.
Are you okay?
Dan. I'm sorry.
Don't cry--
All right. Tell me what you found out.
Myeong Eun.
There is good news and bad news.
What would you like to hear first?
No funny business, you punk. Just tell me already.
First, Alberto Gu
is indeed a businessman from the UK.
He owns international businesses
all over the world.
-What's the bad news? -This is the bad news.
What are you saying?
The Director of the GPB recently tracked down
illegal businesses on a large scale.
He tracked down smugglers, drug dealers,
and those who got paid for hiding criminals.
Were you all right?
Of course. Thanks to your wealth,
I have never been interested in money.
And?
There's a British businessman who is involved in the incident.
And that's Alberto Gu.
What?
The State Security Department is looking for him.
Apparently, he swindled a lot of money in South Korea
and escaped to our country.
Then what's the good news?
-Right. The good news is... -Yes?
Dan seems to know about this.
-What? -She knew it from the first place.
It means
Dan didn't fall for a swindler at least.
You lunatic.
How is that good news?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong? Why do you always hit me?
-What is it that I did wrong? -Punk!
What are you doing?
I will send Ju Meok on an errand later, and I want him to look pretty.
Ju Meok, you can remove it now.
What errand?
He will look like a very sophisticated South Korean
and pick up something.
I would make a sophisticated South Korean very well.
Yesterday, I was standing at an intersection,
and people asked me for directions.
They thought I was from Seoul.
That's not it.
Ju Meok, I think you should get changed
before you go.
What? I need to get changed?
Yes. Here, we don't wear just anything
when we run errands.
-Oh, my. -You look gorgeous.
You look great.
It suits you very well.
-Does it? -Yes.
Do South Koreans really dress like that when they run errands?
Yes, we do. I told you.
Se-ri usually doesn't ask me favors like this,
but she said she'd really like me to do this favor.
She said you were one of the people
she likes the most.
She told me you came from somewhere really far away to see me.
Thank you.
Not at all.
If there's anything you'd like to say, feel free to do so.
You said
those who love each other
will always meet again.
No matter...
how far you are...
You'll always come back to each other.
Yes. That's right.
True love will always return.
-Where's Ju Meok? -He said he's not hungry.
Why not?
He refuses to eat anything on top of the sacred meal he had
with the actress Choi Ji-woo.
Ju Meok, let's meet again.
Okay, Ji-woo.
Let's meet again.
But the only way to do that is through unification.
Did you do your errand well?
-Se-ri, you totally duped me. -Let me see.
How did you deceive me so easily?
Didn't you see me doing this
earlier in the morning?
Do South Koreans really dress like that when they run errands?
Yes, we do. I told you.
What is that?
American imperialists do this
as a way of declaring that they will lie.
That's right. So even though I did lie,
God would've forgiven me.
How are you so tolerant of yourself?
Thank you so much.
You made my lifetime dream come true.
I'd have no regrets even if I died today.
You got the award you deserved.
Love for K-drama Award.
Eun Dong, you received the Hospitality Award.
And...
Chi Su, you received the Fragrant Scalp Award.
Are we saying our goodbyes once again?
Yes.
Why do we keep saying goodbye?
Who knows? This may not be our last.
Even still, we should say our goodbyes in advance when we can.
By the way, I gave you my card so that you could splurge,
but you didn't spend much.
So I prepared a gift for each of you.
Are you all ready to leave?
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
They'll be sending us another bus
so that the other athletes won't notice.
Aren't you coming with us?
A man who goes by Manager Oh will contact me.
You can go first.
I'll join you once I'm done.
Good work.
Now I'll lure Ri Jeong Hyeok
through Manager Oh.
In the meantime, act normally
and report Jeong Hyeok and Se-ri's whereabouts.
Oh, my.
I think something broke.
That's understandable.
Hold my hand, will you?
All right.
Father.
Do you even know how old that is?
You can't destroy them like this--
What did you say?
You should've told me the truth
when you had the chance.
Father!
Are you going to believe these men whom you've never met
or me, your son?
I trusted you.
Then please keep doing so.
-It's a misunderstanding. -Shut up!
Why do you think I appointed you to that position?
Because you're competent?
Don't be ridiculous!
It was because you were the most incompetent.
You're a doormat to your wife and was conned so easily.
I thought if you were aware of how much you lacked,
you'd ask others for help instead of keeping everything to yourself.
I thought you'd do that.
That was why I gave you that position.
Are you saying the reason you picked me among my siblings
was because I lacked the most?
I was aware of that, but I had no idea how much you lacked!
I made a mistake.
I'm going to hold a general meeting of stockholders soon.
Just accept your fate and get ready to be demoted.
Why are you doing this?
Father, I fully understand why you're so upset.
Please forgive us for not telling you earlier.
Get up.
I don't want to see either one of you, so get out!
Please take a look at this.
You can make your decision afterward.
That's Gu Seung-jun.
He and Se-ri were hiding together up North.
Do you really think it was coincidental?
This is something we recently found out while investigating.
Do you remember Gu Myeong-su, the president of Guryong Corporation,
whose company you forcefully took over 20 years ago?
Seung-jun is his son.
He had disguised himself and approached our family on purpose.
What?
We had to confirm this
before telling you.
We apologize.
Father, to be honest,
all kinds of thoughts ran through my head.
"Why were they spotted together in North Korea
when they had called off their marriage?
Is the money he stole related to Se-ri?"
But first, I told him to send her back home.
That's when he told me
to give up half the money that was scammed.
But what could I do?
My first priority was to bring Se-ri back.
Is that so?
I'll have to verify
if you're still lying to me
or if Se-ri really did that.
If I find out that you lied once again,
not only will you lose your position,
but everything that you currently have.
Call her.
I have nothing to say to you.
I feel the same way.
Father called for you, so hurry up and come.
Mom's not doing too well either.
What's wrong? Is it because of her low blood pressure?
It's all because of you.
Were you ever helpful to our family?
Tell him I'll be on my way soon.
The recording has ended.
That's the route she takes to come here.
She drives the car herself,
so do as you wish.
Does that mean
you don't care whether I abduct
or kill her?
You can do whatever you want to do with her.
I just don't want her around me.
That's all.
Then I better get ready.
Se-ri
just left.
We'll be leaving soon as well.
NORTH KOREAN ATHLETICS TEAM
NO ENTRY
Jeong Hyeok should be here soon.
Now that he'll arrive soon,
I think I'm done with my job. May I go now?
Not yet.
Once I kill him
and get on the boat with Se-ri,
that's when you'll be done with your job.
I've arranged the time and place,
and he'll arrive soon. I think I'm done here.
There he is.
I knew it.
I knew you'd come.
You're not a coward
who'd leave Se-ri behind and return to the North, knowing I'm still here.
You're right.
I have no plans to leave my woman here all alone. No.
As long as a scumbag like you is here,
I didn't plan on going back.
Hey!
Man Bok.
Do you have something to tell me?
If you do, please tell me.
All my life, I've been reporting things that I've eavesdropped on.
But you're asking me to speak my mind.
Thank you.
I will
tell you what's on my mind.
I met with Cho Cheol Gang today.
He threatened me with a photo of my child.
I'm terrified.
But I'm going to put up a fight this time.
Aren't you coming with us?
I need to stop by somewhere.
A man who goes by Manager Oh will contact me.
You can go first.
I'll join you once I'm done.
Tell him I'll be on my way soon.
I want to believe
that my mom is sick and everything my brother said.
Do you truly believe that my brother has colluded with Cho Cheol Gang
and schemed this?
We'll find out.
Don't look so frightened. It's unlike you.
What's there to be scared of with us here?
-He's right. -He's right.
Se-ri
just left.
Eun Dong, how's it going?
Don't overdo it and make yourself stop growing!
Don't worry. I'm doing fine.
What was that? He's really one of a kind.
Hey, be careful!
Don't worry.
We're from the special forces.
It's cold out here. Wait inside for a bit.
I hope they won't get hurt.
Hey, don't move, okay?
If you don't, I can hit you every single time.
Are you all right?
-Yes. -We're fine too.
Man Bok.
You startled me.
All right. Let's go to the next place!
-All right! -All right!
Hey, I'm serious! Be careful!
Are you sure we won't have to pay the monthly rent for the next year?
You won't need to pay it for two years.
So march forward!
-Let's go! -Okay!
Captain Ri, we're here!
I see that you've made a decision.
So I'll make mine.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, what are you doing?
Shoot.
Why can't you kill someone as trivial as him?
You're so soft.
What?
What was that gunshot?
What are they doing?
Hold on.
Who are they?
No.
Don't come this way.
Se-ri?
They say
one sees the flashback of the best moments in their life
for a moment
before they die.
I think this will be
one of those moments.
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.
Jeong Hyeok.
To be honest,
what you had told me
was enough for me.
I got to enjoy
the happiness
that was given to me.
Se-ri...
Se-ri.
No.
You're wrong.
That wasn't enough.
I still have
more to say.
There's something I haven't told you.
I love you.
I love you, Se-ri.
Judging from what Man Bok has told me,
you've crossed the line.
You won't solve this issue by putting your life on the line.
That's what we're saying.
I'm sorry to all of you.
But I cannot go.
-Go first and-- -We just want you to put more on the line.
There's still more.
You have us.
We're from your troop.
In our current situation, you're as important as our country for us.
Give us your orders.
-I cannot do that. -Captain Ri.
Se-ri has become
a valuable friend to us as well.
Please give us your orders.
Master Sergeant Pyo.
Yes, sir.
-First Lieutenant Park. -Yes, sir.
-Staff Sergeant Kim. -Yes, sir.
-Private First Class Geum. -Yes, sir.
Do everything in your power
to protect Se-ri.
That is all.
I trust you.
No.
Please...
Please help us.
