01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

What are you doing?

Open up.

Now, I will do something.

Don't be startled

and keep your eyes on me.

What?

What was that?

Hey, open it again.

What are you guys doing?

Come on out.

Come out now.

RI JEONG HYEOK

Well, you know what you shouldn't do.

Why did you come all the way here
and do such things?

Didn't I tell you before?

They wanted to go night fishing,
so I set a boat afloat.

But what I just witnessed

wasn't night fishing.

Look, Officer. They are a man
and a woman with young blood.

When they go for a walk,
they don't just take a walk.

They don't just drink
when they go out drinking, do they?

They are out for fishing,

but they can't just cast
fishing rods the whole time.

Then there's no way
they can put forth buds

who will lead our country into the future.

Don't you think so?

Is that so?

Were you trying
to put forth buds in there?

I guess there's a misunderstanding.
It's not like...

We are getting married soon,

so we are kind of in a hurry.

I got it.

But I can't let you

stay here anymore.

Head back once you're done
with your business.

Well...

Wait. We still have something to do here.

-A little more time--
-Come on, now.

Turn the boat back.

Of course. I'll turn the boat right away.

Let's go.

Wait. Excuse me. Hang on...

Do something. We can't go back like this.

Isn't it the ship over there?

You just saw the whole thing.

We can't go any further.

What do I do then?

Excuse me, Mr. Ri Jeong Hyeok.

I have to go now.

I have to go even if I die on my way.

I won't stop you
if you want to k*ll yourself.

But do you want the captain
of this boat to die with you?

Do you think he will do that?

In life,

people get into accidents,
both big and small.

They also get a little lost.

Someone I know went from Gangnam
to Daejeon when he first learned

how to drive
because he couldn't turn left.

I'm like him now.

I ended up in North Korea,
not Daejeon though.

I guess the distance

is not so different.

-Aren't you getting on the boat?
-About today...

Fine.

I'll stay positive and take it
as being lost a bit longer.

But I will be leaving next week, won't I?

It's impossible.

I know

it will be hard.

But there might be a way out
if we try really hard, right?

No.

Once a sea control order is issued,

it takes at least
to days for it to be lifted.

Do you really

have to talk like that in this situation?

I'm just telling you the truth--

Do you think I want to hear the truth now?

Do you want me to lie--

I'm not telling you to lie.
I just want you to comfort me.

"It's okay. We can do it."

I can't give you false consolation.

You're despicable.

What? Despicable?

Don't look at me like that as if you've
never lied before in your whole life.

-This is just how my eyes look--
-You were so good at lying before.

-But why can't you do it now?
-When did I ever--

You said I'm your fiancée.

-I just had no choice back then--
-What about the kiss?

Just so you know,

I don't cling to stuff like that.

I'm not that old-fashioned.

Besides, it wasn't even a kiss.

People greet each other
with smooches like that in Paris.

But don't you think
I'll need an explanation for that,

since we're not in Paris now?

You told me to do something, so--

I told you to do something.
I didn't tell you to kiss me.

But you just said it wasn't even a kiss.

So that's where you draw the line?

Are you saying it's okay
because it was a smooch?

-I didn't mean it--
-And it means nothing to you?

-It's not that--
-You sound so cool about it.

Are we in Hollywood or what?

I've never been to Hollywood--

That's it.

You feel bad for me, don't you?

If you do, promise me one thing.

Promise you'll let me have some espresso
in the best cafe in Gangnam next week.

I can't make a promise I can't keep.

Darn it.

Thank you for what you've done for me.

I don't want to cause you
any more trouble.

I will find my way
to get out of here alive on my own.

All right.

I can't just sit back and wait.

I should do something.

If I die on my way,

then so be it.

This is Se-ri one.

If someone hears me, please say yes.

It's okay. It will start working
on the way.

Yoon Se-ri.

What?

How did you...

I sneaked out while you were asleep.

I know you did, but I heard you leave.

I heard the door slam behind you.

How did you know I was here?

Did you drag this
all the way up here on purpose?

So I can follow you?

No.

Did you not read my message?

I don't want to cause you
any more trouble.

This is how I landed here.
Might as well leave like this, right?

There was a natural disaster
when you got here,

but things are not like that now.

Since it's an unpowered aircraft,
it won't be spotted on the radar.

But you'll be seen with the naked eye.

And what if they do see me?

You can imagine what will happen.

You will be sh*t on sight.

Whether you land on the North or South.

m*llitary POLICE

This one.

How long has it been on?

STATE SECURITY DEPARTMENT

-What's the matter?
-Lieutenant Commander.

There's a suspicious transmission
from Mount Janam.

Was there a message?

We are analyzing it now.
Considering the frequency and band,

it seems to be an attempt
to contact the South.

Seal off the area
and make a thorough search.

-It's an emergency order.
-Yes, sir.

Turn the car around.

Scouts?

In case of an unknown signal,
they arrive on the scene in ten minutes.

I think they have already left.

We will get caught either way we go.

Mr. Ri.

Stay here.

I'll go down.

I'll get caught on my way down.

Then they won't come all the way up here.

Then what?

The State Security Department
already thinks you are my fiancée.

What do we do then?

You said I'd get caught either way.

Let's go this way.

What? That way?

What are you thinking?
What are you going to do?

I'm thinking about
where we could go with this.

Wait.

Hold tight.

I have to.

I was just

upset and frustrated earlier.

I know.

In fact,

I'm very grateful for everything.

I know that, too.

You always say that.

CRASH LANDING ON YOU

That's where the signal was detected.

-Where else in the world could it go?
-We're still searching the area.

You are excused.

So they came back
without going to Pyongyang?

Yes. They came back together this morning.

Why?

I'm not sure.

Something about them is fishy.

Keep a keen eye on them.

-I'll look into them at the same time.
-Yes, sir.

Are you going home now
after working all night?

Stop by at a market
and buy some meat on your way home.

It's okay, sir.

No need to stand on ceremony.

Woo Pil, is it? Your son's name?

And he's ten.

Yes, sir.

Kids at his age eat like a horse.

Feed him well with this.

Thank you, sir.

It's won.

We have leaf tobacco here.

Seon Hwa,

I'll send some sweatsuits and sneakers
on the p.m. train tonight.

Make sure to get them at the station.

Send the fruit flavor cookies
and strawberry gums

to Chung Seong's in Hoeryong, okay?

Please give me kg of pork.

Is it someone's birthday?

What makes you buy pork today?

It's for my son.
Give me the good one, please.

Don't worry.

I sell the best meat in the market.

Do you have coffee beans?

Coffee beans?

We only have stick coffee.

It's from down there.

I need coffee beans though.

I can get them for you.

If you pay in advance,
I will place an order with the trader

coming from Yanggang Island tonight.

They have everything there
except a cat's horn.

Here you are.

-My money!
-My goodness.

Go catch the pickpocket!

Catch the pickpocket.

Out of my way.

Move over.

CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVE
THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLE

Wasn't he a guy from the g*ng?

Was he a g*ng member?

There's no way
an officer can deal with him by himself.

I should've stopped him.

The gangsters are going to
knock the officer down.

Hey, Mr. Captain.

We all are discharged soldiers.

You don't scare us at all.

I'll spare your life,

so go mind your own business.

All right then.

If you insist on dying today.

I don't know how to thank you.

You don't have to.

There are a lot of pickpockets
in the market. Be careful.

Okay.

All right then.

I heard about it from my uncle.

You don't have to worry though.

Captain Ri is trying to find a way.

I usually

don't eat breakfast.

It's called intermittent fasting.

When I do, I eat lightly.

I just eat one or two spoonful

of organic oatmeal from Canada
with some organic maple syrup

which is also from Canada.

What is she talking about?

Does anyone know Michelin Guide?

I have dinner only in restaurants
with Michelin stars.

But the chefs who work there
only have one dear wish,

which is to see me finish my dish.

Whatever they served me,
I only had three bites of it.

That's how I got my nickname,

Picky Princess.

That's who I used to be.

How come now I'm in love
with rice crust and sugar?

Rice crust tastes good with sugar.

Why am I having my fifth piece already?

You greedy woman.

You're eating up all the food
Captain Ri owns.

You should feel guilty.

Can't you see that I'm mixing in too well?

I have to go back as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I might end up
living here forever.

Why are you talking all the crap
after eating rice crust?

I know. You're afraid too, aren't you?

I'm really scared.

So you guys should help me.

I can't just count on Ri Jeong Hyeok.
It's not going to work.

By the way, where's Captain Ri?

I don't know.

He went out to buy something.

Oh, that's it. You see,

he told us to come and protect you.

What? Protect?

-Protect who?
-You, of course.

Me?

Gosh.

I mean, I won't crumble to pieces

just because he left me alone for a while.

What else did Ri Jeong Hyeok say about me?

That we can't let you be on your own.

Gosh, what is he trying to do?

I am not a child.

I'm fine being on my own.

Ri Jeong Hyeok is so silly.

He is over-the-top.

It's obvious he has no trust in you,

given the troublemaker you are.

He wanted us to keep watch.

Will you stay quiet?

You darned wench.

I just felt great thinking she was gone.

Why are you back?

-Hey, Pyo Chi Su.
-What?

I didn't want it to come down to this,

-but I want you to return my stuff.
-Return what?

My shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Sorry, but I must decline.

-What?
-I was doing fine without them,

but now I just can't live
without the shampoo you got me.

What are you saying?

My head has never been so fragrant before.

Also,

in my nation, you can't take back
what you've already given.

What's the matter again?

There is an important
announcement for you.

Today is Yeong Ae's birthday.

Who is Yeong Ae?

You met her the other day.

She's the Senior Colonel's wife,

-and in our village--
-So she's the Head.

The Head?

Whatever, I know who she is. So what?

So there will be a birthday celebration.

Thank you for inviting me.

Okay, then.

We are meeting up
at p.m. this afternoon.

We will cook together, and--

Thank you for inviting me,

but I don't go
to someone else's BP. Sorry.

Bye.

What is a BP?

One way or another,

she means she won't come
to the celebration, doesn't she?

You think?

Gosh, has she no decency?

She has no decency and has no manners.

She sure is missing a lot of stuff.

Did Ri Jeong Hyeok not say anything else
since that day?

Did he not take revenge or something?

-Did the Central Party not summon you?
-I told you, no.

Well, I came all the way out here.

I might as well go
and apologize to him, don't you think?

I even grabbed him by the collar that day.

I was out of my mind.

So you're not here to see me,
but to grovel at his feet, is that it?

No, it's not like that.

I suffer from insomnia,
so I'm taking pills these days.

Ri Jeong Hyeok isn't a guy
who'd act rashly and take revenge.

-Then?
-He must be plotting something

in secret to do some digging.

Isn't it worse?

I can't do this. I should go to him

-and get down on my knees--
-Hey.

Didn't you say that you knew
someone from the United Front Department?

Yes.

My cousin works in Section Three
of the United Front Department. Why?

Ri Jeong Hyeok has a fiancée.

And I heard she belongs to Division .

Division ?

I must say no one can match him.

His dad is the Director
of the General Political Bureau,

and his fiancée works at Division .

My gosh.

But it's a little strange.

I should check
if she really is in Division .

I'll go to Pyongyang in your car
on your way back.

Let me meet with your cousin.

Who was that guy?

There was a guy
who looked scary like a mugger.

He broke into my place
at night the other way.

You mean
Lieutenant Commander Cho Cheol g*ng.

Right. Lieutenant Commander.

I wish I was found

in front of his place.

Everyone seems intimidated by him.
He's high in ranks, right?

He's very high.

What about Ri Jeong Hyeok?

Of course, Captain Ri is quite...

He's not high, is he?

Well, compared to
the Lieutenant Commander...

So he's low.

Right.

I knew it. I should've gone to him.

Ri Jeong Hyeok is too low in rank.

Is there any way he can get promoted soon?

Why do you even care?

I just want him to have some power

so he can do something for me.

Hey, Pyo Chi Su.
Do you want me to settle down here?

Do you want me to stay?
Is that what you want?

I guess there might be a way.

What?

The Preferential Star.

What? Preferential Star?

There will be an announcement
about the Preferential Stars winners.

What is it? What is the star for?

It's like an opportunity to get promoted

when it's not the promotion season.

It sounds great. Who grants the stars?

It's the Senior Colonel.

Really?

Then does the Senior Colonel
like Ri Jeong Hyeok?

Do you think he will get
the Preferential Star this time?

The high-ups always seem to

just hate Captain Ri.

That's why we have such a hard time.

I see.

I know what you mean.

Then who is
the Senior Colonel's closest ally?

Like the shortest way
to get to the Senior Colonel.

The Senior Colonel is famous
for being obedient to his wife.

Oh, so he's a devoted husband.

Hang on.

The Senior Colonel's wife...

Isn't she the Head?

All right then.

Today is Yeong Ae's birthday.

Before the main celebration,
for the smooth progress of events,

I'd like to go through the birthday gifts.

Your cooperation will be appreciated.

My goodness.

This one is wrapped.

Why did you wrap it?

Are you ashamed of it?

It's from down South.

What is it?

It's medicine.

Red ginseng.

I heard it's really good for
curing depression and anxiety

of menopausal women.

You should've gotten it
for her last birthday.

Then things would've been
easier for us for the past year.

It's my bad.

All right. You should
get me one next time.

Next.

My gosh. What do we do, Wol Suk?

She brought books as a gift.

Look here, comrade.

Did you not get the notice?

What's the theme of her birthday gift?

It's beauty and health.

That's right. Then you tell me.

Which one does your gift belong to?
Beauty or health?

After Yeong Ae sees
things that are pretty and healthy,

once she sees these books,
the celebration will be over.

She might even flip the table like this!

-I'm sorry. I didn't think that through.
-Move over.

My gosh.

What is this?

Is it a dress?

Yes. I made it myself.

It's very light and soft,
she won't even know she's wearing it.

It'd be best if she didn't.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you say you weren't coming?

What brings you here?

You don't go to someone else's BP.

This isn't just a BP.
It's a celebration party.

This one is okay.

Put it right here.

-This is her favorite dish.
-We did our best.

-Don't put it there.
-Here?

Thank you all for doing this. Have a seat.

Thank you, everyone.

-My seat.
-No, I'm sitting here.

-Move over a bit.
-She liked these the best.

Hey, Captain Ri's fiancée.

Since this is your first time,
I'll let you sit next to me.

I don't want to.

I don't like to sit
next to someone who's too pretty.

I'd...

rather sit here.

My goodness.

I see you are a woman of principle.

Yeong Ae,

we brought you gifts to show
how happy we were for your birthday,

and gathered them here.

-That's right. Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

I told you not to do this.

But...

Captain Ri's fiancée came empty-handed.

There's one more here.

No, it's just too lame.

I'm not lame at all.

This is the hottest trend
that swept the global fashion scene.

-Newtro
-What?

-"Newtro"?
-"Newtro"?

-What's that?
-What's "Newtro"?

What do you say?

May I try

and fix this baby up a little?

-This is very good.
-Try this, too.

This is delicious.

No way.

How did that plain dress
turn this fabulous?

What was the name of this?

It's "Flower Garden."

The subtle progression
of the floral pattern

is the biggest trend of this season.

The blurred effect that adds to
the softenings of patterns

and this irregular arrangement

that sets a natural tone to the dress
are the key points to its beauty.

The movements of the drapes

remind us of a Greek goddess.

This fashionable dress depicts

the peak of Ms. Ma's femininity.

-Yes.
-Yes.

That's the theme of the dress.

Gosh, I didn't know
that she was this good.

It was only possible
because the dress you brought

was already sophisticated.

Myeong Sun, eat a lot.
Pack some food on your way home.

What? Okay. Thank you.

I'm jealous.

You know what?
I still don't know your name.

-Pardon?
-Gosh.

I know you're in Division .

But I'm sure you can tell me your name.
It's not like we're strangers.

Of course. We're not strangers.

My name is...

CHOE SAM SUK,
SOMEONE ENGRAVED IN YOUR HEART

Sam Suk.

It's Choe Sam Suk.

I'm sorry.

All of a sudden, she said she was going
to attend Ms. Ma's birthday party.

Why did she go to the birthday party?

She said she was going to help you get
the Preferential Star.

As if she can actually help me.

Does she really think
she's my fiancée or something?

She said that it'd be easier for her
to get out of here if you won the Star.

According to her, you are

like a nobody.

-A nobody?
-Yes.

She thinks that because your rank is low

and you don't have any power,

she can't get out of here.

It's not true that I don't have any power.

Pardon?

It's nothing.

By the way, may I ask why you're going
to the Repair Unit of Engineer Brigade?

The car crash that happened that night.

I'm certain that it wasn't
a mere accident.

Do you think the secret truck unit
actually exists, as rumors say?

I'll request the log of repaired vehicles.

What?

Do you think they'll give you the log
without protest?

No.

Captain.

This is for an investigation.

Let us check briefly.

SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE, PROTECTION OF PEACE

Investigation?

Only the State Security Department
holds investigations.

Don't get smart with me!

What? Get smart with you?
You'd better watch your tongue.

Captain Ri.

That's enough.

Thank you.

I tried to stall time
because you told me to,

but are you sure that was enough?

Yes, this is enough.

Thank you for coming
all the way to Pyongyang.

No. I should thank you
for meeting me here.

What would you like?

PYONGYANG JEIL HOTEL

LIST OF BEVERAGES

I'd like an iced cameral macchiato.

I see. Locals in Pyongyang
are indeed sophisticated.

Even the name of the beverage
sounds like a code.

This is nothing.

I would like carbonated ginger tea.

Okay. Please wait.

I heard from my cousin that

you wanted me to look
into an individual in Division .

Who is it?

The captain at my post,
Civilian Police Battalion,

has a fiancée from there.

-Fiancée?
-Yes.

She's in her early to mid- s.

From the way she speaks, it seems
she stayed in South Korea for a long time,

and she recently returned home.

Disclosing the identities
of individuals under special protection

is actually prohibited
in our division as well.

That's why I'm asking you in private.

There would be only a handful

of such individuals over several years,

I will be able to come up
with a list of possible individuals.

A female in her early to mid- s.

South Korean accent.

Do you know her name?

Sam Suk.

Yes?

I appreciate your help today.

Thanks to you, I have
this beautiful dress. Thank you.

No. It was really fun today.

Well, if you have a chance,

please put in a good word for my fiancée
with your husband.

What? With Se Dae Ju?

Your husband is Se Dae Ju?

That's right.

Please put in a good word for him
with Comrade Se Dae Ju.

Is there something wrong?

Well, everyone knows
that Comrade Ri is the best there is.

He's tall and has a nice build,

but he's not that social.

Deep down, he has so much respect
for the Senior Colonel.

Like a fool, he doesn't know
how to express his respect.

My gosh. All right.

I'll talk to him. Don't worry about that.

My gosh, really?

-Thank you, Yeong Ae.
-What?

My gosh.

Can I call you Yeong Ae?

I don't think
you and I have a big age difference.

You're not younger than me, right?

My goodness.

-Do you think I'm that young?
-Yes.

Gosh. Oh, my.

Just call me whatever you want.

I'll make you pretty clothes later.

Sounds great. Don't worry.

Jeong Hyeok.

Did you wait for me?

Gosh, nonsense.

Didn't you see me just now?

I was coming...

I mean, I was coming from over there.

Why here, though?

Well, this is my neighborhood.

I think you were waiting for me.

No, I wasn't.

What were you doing at her house
this late at night?

Don't even start.

You know, I owe you a lot, Captain Ri.

I thought that I should help you move up
the ladder while I'm here.

I worked really hard to help you
win the Preferential Star.

Goodness.

You must have gotten the wrong idea.

It's not like I don't have any power
or that I have a low status here.

This is a unique bicycle.

Do I sit in the front?

It gets dark at night here,
so don't stay out too late.

Are you worried about me, Jeong Hyeok?

No, it's not like that.

Then what is it like?

The thought of you bothers me.

That means you're worried about me.

No, it's different.

-It's the same thing.
-It's different.

It's the same thing.

Gosh, that looks scrumptious.

What? Why didn't you guys go back?

Are you sure you can stay out here?

Captain Ri told our sergeant major

that we will return to base at night after
we finish our work here, so we're fine.

Come here.

Captain Ri bought some clams
from the market.

What?

-Hey.
-You startled me.

Hey, you scared me for a second.

It's like a campfire.

This is called a clam bulgogi.

The clams are really hot.

You should wear gloves.

Here's how we eat this.

We eat it like this.

And as for the soju...

That's how we do it.

Gosh, what is that?

All right. Try it.

You know, when it comes
to dishes with clams,

I only eat bouillabaisse.

-Are you sure this is cooked?
-Yes.

All right. Have some soju.

I'm in a tight spot.

I only drink Sauvignon Blanc
when I eat seafood.

Did you put sugar in this, Ju Meok?

-No.
-This is sweet.

Pour me a sh*t, too.

You're still young.

You can't drink. You're only .

He's in the army. Of course, he can drink.

Here. Drink it.

-No. You can't.
-Drink it.

Minors shouldn't drink alcohol.

You have many crafty ways
of drinking more alcohol.

-Why is it so sweet?
-My goodness.

-How could it taste so sweet?
-Hey, listen.

All right. Get ready.

-Pour me another sh*t.
-Be careful.

Pour me some, too.

Here you go.

Check this out.

Please pour me a drink.

Here.

Let me.

Se-hyeong.

Yes, Father.

You should take over the company.

-Father!
-Father!

Thank you. I'll do my best!

There's no need to do your best.

You must do a good job.

I'll show you what doing
a good job is all about!

I can't believe this.
You're so unreasonable.

What did you just say, you punk?

I can understand why he's so angry.

Giving the company to him
doesn't make sense.

When you were behind bars,

my husband was the one who quietly
ran your company on your behalf.

He did all the dirty and hard work
for the company.

I wouldn't say it was quiet.

He was on the news when people were
beginning to forget about his last mess.

Sang-a, be quiet.

Stop it.

I won't put up with you anymore.

It's just that
I cannot grasp the situation.

Father, when you were in prison,
did something happen to you?

I'm Se-jun.
I'm the oldest son of this family!

Succeeding a company
isn't like queueing for a restaurant.

The order you came in doesn't matter.

It's the company
Father has built all his life.

Of course, he wants
his competent son to take over.

Are you saying that you got the company
because you're more competent?

Don't be petty about this.
Just accept your defeat.

But why don't I remember you
accepting your defeat?

Father. Do you know
what that jerk said when you announced

Se-ri would take over the company?

He suggested getting
the tabloids involved.

He wanted to disclose to the public

that Se-ri was your illegitimate daughter

and use the press to bury her.

He wanted to humiliate Se-ri,
so she would leave Korea.

-Wasn't that what you said?
-My gosh.

-Did he really say that?
-Yes.

You're way nastier than I expected.

Hye-ji, watch your language.

You watch your language, you punk.

Okay. Fine.

-So that wasn't a nasty comment at all.
-What?

What did you say when Se-ri went missing?

You said something like

even if the sky falls,
there's a way to survive.

You were happy that Se-ri was dead.
That's what you said.

Even if we don't get along,
she's our family.

I have to say,

you scared me a little when you said that.

Oh, my. Can you bring me
white paint and a cape?

Are you Baron Ashura?

You're unbelievable, you two-faced jerk.

When did you ever treat Se-ri
like she was part of our family?

Mother, say something.

You know what?

Let's all be honest here.

Did anyone at this table

consider Se-ri part of our family?

You all treated her as if she was
some unwanted stray dog.

Mom, when Father brought her home,

you probably wanted to abandon her
if no one was looking.

Be quiet!

-Mother, please side with us.
-Don't be childish.

Ninety six,

ninety seven,

ninety eight,

ninety nine...

One,

two,

three,

four...

Do you want to hear my opinion?

Yes.

I think you made the wrong decision.

-Right?
-Exactly.

Mom.

We don't know what happened to Se-ri yet.

So

finding a replacement for Se-ri

is being too rash.

Mom, what are you saying?

Mom, that's not what we're talking about.

That's my opinion.

That we don't know yet.

I believe

Se-ri can come back.

Gyedan.

Stair. Hurry up.

A word starting with dan...

Five, four,

-Be quiet.
-three...

Dan muk!

What? What is that?

What do you think?

Do you not even have dan muk
in South Korea?

It's a name for sweet snacks
made of gelatin.

I see. Like jelly?

Yes.

Gosh. That's nothing.
You're bragging about nothing.

Muk? Muksabal.

Bal...

Balbari cha.

What?

What is that?

What? Are you serious?

You don't even have balbari cha
in South Korea?

That means taxi.

No taxis in South Korea? As if.

We have lanes full of taxis,

so many that the roads get congested.
That's Seoul.

Fine. Lie all you want.

I won't believe you.

Whatever.

So... cha?

-Cha?
-Five,

-Cha...
-Four.

Be quiet.

-Three.
-Don't count so fast.

I'm not counting fast at all.

Two.

CHA

Charimpyo.

Chaga beoseot.

My gosh.

I don't think there's any word
that starts with seot.

-It's over.
-Seot...

Seod-dal Geumeum!

You know it's spelled differently.

Can't you tell the difference
between seot and seod?

-Seojjok-haneul.
-What?

That's spelled seo, jjok, ha, neul.

Hey, Chi Su. Don't be petty.

Just accept your defeat.

Wait. Hold on. Hey.

I'll just drink it.

All right.

-Drink, drink a lot
-Drink, drink a lot

-Hurry up and drink
-Hurry up and drink

-Man up and drink, or you'll be a coward
-Man up and drink, or you'll be a coward

Oh, no.

How'd I end up in bed yesterday?

I smell coffee.

Wait, you had this?

Yes, during my study abroad.

Did you study abroad? Where?

Is it Switzerland?

What did you major in?

My, it's so fragrant.

It's so delicious.

Hot hand-dripped coffee
is the best for hangovers.

I'm feeling better already.

I've made bean sprout soup,
that'll make you feel even better.

Why is this so absurdly good?

Jeong Hyeok.

I'm thankful for many things

as well as the coffee,

so I have something for you.

One minute.

This sign?

-Yes.
-I know.

Could it mean "Just like how I can squish

a tiny bug and k*ll it like this,

two fingers is all I need to destroy you",

-or something like that?
-No.

It's a hand heart.

First off, you know
what a heart represents, right? The organ.

My heart? What about it?

"I would like to give you my heart."

That's what it means.

Why would she suddenly want to
donate her organ to him?

Goodness. Heart means love.

In South Korea,

this means that they like you.

Hey, don't blabber such ridiculous things

just because we don't know that country.
That's absurd.

Why is it absurd?

I saw this coming

ever since he lied in front of everyone

that she was his fiancée.

What do you mean?

Are you sure nothing happened
between you two ever since?

At all?

He may have done it
solely to disguise themselves,

but she could've had the butterflies.

"The butterflies"?

It's when your heart flutters.

Why do you look so shocked?

I'm sure many women confessed
their feelings to you.

I'm sure you won't understand.

But no matter how many times
you experience such an incident,

you'll never be able to get used to it.

I'm sure you won't understand it either.

What's the problem?

That woman will leave soon anyway.

It's not like Captain Ri is
an immoral man who would be doing this

when he's engaged
or married to someone else.

-You do?
-You do?

PYONGYANG JEIL DEPARTMENT STORE

WELCOME

-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello, ma'am.

PYONGYANG JEIL DEPARTMENT STORE
WAS APPROVED BY THE GREAT LEADER

HOSPITALITY!
GENEROSITY!

KOREAN CLOTHING SHOW, ND FLOOR

I'm so upset.

I sent you to Russia to study.

You must not have liked the food.

You've become so scrawny.

I lost weight on purpose.

If I eat whatever I want,
they call me a pig.

Don't be absurd.

A woman needs a bit of fat on her

to look elegant and endearing.

-Mrs. Go.
-Hi.

I had a great time here.

I hope to see you next time again.

Okay.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you very much.

See you!

Did you learn English?

I thought you hated it
since it was the language of the US.

Wouldn't I be a true citizen
of this nation

to know my enemy's language?

Last time, she attended a meeting
and was humiliated

for not speaking the language.
That's when she began learning it.

Myeong Seok, don't you need to go work?

Don't go.

Of course.

I do have to go.

But weren't you the one
who asked me to drive you?

Go right now.

Dan, check out her pronunciation.

Doesn't she sound so unctuous?

Hey, this is a basic skill
you need to have

in order to do business abroad.

Humiliated? As if.

What an assh*le.

Get lost.

What?

Isn't that too flashy?

It's been years
since you've met your fiancée.

Isn't it a bit too much?

This is fine.

Still...

Who is this?

Dan, it's you.

When did you come back?

Have you been well?

It hasn't been long.

Goodness, look at you.

You look so thin.

You look awful.

Is Jin Sook doing well?

Of course.

Last year, she gave birth
to a healthy son.

She became pregnant again this year.

Her mother-in-law is elated
and keeps talking

about how blessed she is.

That's great.

She's feeding her baby
in the nursing room.

-You should go see her.
-Okay.

I'll see you again.

Sure.

Dan, just a moment.

Go and take her down a peg.

Put them in their place.

Come on, mom.

I can do that no matter how I dress.

She's getting old

and is losing weight as well.

She must be going through a lot.

She lost weight on purpose

in order to fit the global trend.

These days, if you eat whatever you want,

people will call you a pig.

Do you even know that?

Why are you getting all worked up?

I'm just worried that she's like that

when everyone else is getting married

and having a family of their own.

Don't you worry about a thing.

For the last ten years
while she was in Russia,

the Director of
the General Political Bureau's son

had been yearning for her.

Is that so?

Then I'm relieved.

Rumor had it that he wasn't interested
in getting married

and volunteered to be stationed
at the outpost line.

Hey!

They will be getting married this year,

so come and enjoy our noodles.
That's all I have to say. So...

Goodbye.

Doesn't it feel better

to come out with us
rather than staying at home?

You're right.

Yeong Ae.

Weren't you looking for powder last time?

We finally got some from You and Me.

They're only exported to Europe.

But I got one just for you.

I'll buy it next time. Hope you sell many.

We also have some

from South Korea.

This essence is popular

down there.

Hold on.

When did my products become this famous?

About million of these were sold.

Twenty million, it's twenty...

It looks moisturizing.

What's in it?

There's...

Well...

Everything good is in it.

They ground the entire field into it.

You can think of it that way.

I think there are Korean pepper,
pasqueflower,

and white ginseng extracts in this.

Whitening is a given.

With its slim-fit technology,
it has a light, air-like finish

with no stickiness to it.

Goodness.

You're so knowledgeable
when it comes to beauty.

No wonder you're so beautiful.

-Yes, of course.
-Right you are.

Who are you?

Why do you talk like that?

Special missions, down South.

If that's true,

you must know a lot about this product.

Of course, I should know
better than anyone.

I'd like one.

Okay.

It's my treat.

-No, let me.
-No, it's okay.

Excuse me.

This product is known for its moisturizing
and glossy effects,

-so you should emphasize them.
-What?

And as a seller, don't you think
memorizing the ingredients is a must?

-I'm sorry.
-Make sure you remember this.

And it isn't million.

million bottles were sold.

Do you know how rare it is

to die from paragliding in Korea?

Since our country is full of forests,
you'd only suffer fractures or bruises.

You should go to the sauna
and shave as well.

Our country has the fourth most forests
in the world.

There are forests everywhere
even on deserted islands.

Even the DMZ has a forest.

Hey! How dare you?

Are you saying
that she could've fallen there?

Who knows? It's not that far away.

Stop getting so close.

If that's the case,
the NIS would've told us.

Perhaps, she's suffering from memory loss

after the fall.

Or maybe she's stepped on a mine,

and doesn't dare move at all.

Make sure you take a shower.
You stink so much.

Most importantly, they could find
neither the equipment nor her body--

MYUNGJI INSURANCE
PARK SU-CHAN

So Ewa Wi...

Wiśniewska, sir.

Yes, her. Taking her,

the wind speed, and the direction
of the wind on that day,

you think we should search

the islands on the northwest or the DMZ?

That is correct.

I was very hesitant
to tell you about this.

-What is it?
-On that day,

she said something to me.

I'm in a rush
because I need to climb someplace.

"Climb"? Where?

High up.

Back then, I didn't know what she meant.

But after thinking about what he said,

perhaps, "high up" means--

The North.

Why didn't you mention that sooner?

It all makes sense now.

Are you saying she fled to the North?

No, sir. That's not what I mean.

I feel like she foresaw what would happen.

-Forget it.
-Okay.

-Mr. Park.
-Yes?

I know the hefty insurance cost
has put you in a pickle.

But as her brother, I cannot condone

your spreading of groundless rumors.

If this happens again,

our corporation lawyer
will be there to greet you.

-Sorry?
-If that happens,

getting fired won't be the end of it.

My husband and I came here

in our family's stead.

We must prepare ourselves
for future possibilities.

I'd like to see

the financial statements
for Seri's Choice.

Where is it?

You look very experienced.

I enjoyed clay sh**ting
when I was in the South.

Be careful what you say.

I told you not to mention the South.

Mr. Cheon, are you going to give me
, dollars?

I told you not to nag.

You've changed your identity
using the diplomat passport,

but this is still North Korea.

If this gets caught,
many people will go down.

Gosh, I get it.

Even that dog gets it.

Good boy. Come. Let's go.

Run, run, run!

Good boy!

Could you make some naengmyeon

with the pheasant I hunted?

I heard pheasant meat is a must
when making Pyongyang naengmyeon.

I said--

I bet it'll be tasty.

Hurry up!

KAESONG STATION

We have tangerines.

Ma'am.

Would you like a ride?

-Next car, headed to Bongdong!
-All aboard.

Get the luggage up here.

All aboard!

-All aboard!
-Headed to Bongdong.

Where's your destination?

This is too far at the end.

I won't be able to pick up any customers.
I'm sorry.

No, more money won't do.

The roads are so rocky as well.

I really can't.

Try a bit harder.

Please get in.

DRIVING

Taehongdan potatoes are round

They're so big that you can't finish one

Ya-ha!

Potatoes, potatoes, Taehongdan potatoes

I love them so much

You can't finish them

What's wrong with this?

It's sundown soon. What should I do?

Do you need a cell phone?

Yes, please.

Why isn't this working?

Are we too high up?

Then what should we do?

Here.

There's a village about li from here.

I'll have to ask them for help.

Wait here.

Hold on...

Oh, dear.

I forgot my key.

Wait a minute...

Stop.

-What?
-Come on.

It seems like the car broke down.

It's dangerous for a woman
to be out here alone.

Let's just go.

If we take her,
she might suspect something.

Come on, now.

How could you be so inhumane?

Go back. Back.

Where's your destination?

The front-line m*llitary village.

We're not going that far.

Would it be okay if we dropped you midway?

Uncle, please.

What's the harm in taking a little detour?

Don't you worry.

We'll make sure you get there
safe and sound.

Thank you.

By the way, haven't we met?

No.

You looked familiar.

May I ask why you're going there?

No.

I see.

I guess I can't.

Come take a look!

Mother!

Come to the dumpling store!

-Hurry up!
-Come take a look!

Why are there no street lights?

-Have some dumplings!
-Come take a look!

-Try this!
-Welcome!

Yeong Ae.

Yeong Ae.

-What?
-Come here.

Where did they go?

Where are you?

Buy the rest.

-Mother.
-Here.

-Yes?
-So I looked into it.

-Okay.
-In the past three years,

there has been no woman that age
from Division .

Is that so?

Recently, there has been one.

But she's in her mid- s, and I know her.

Other than her, there's no one.

I see. Thank you.

I'll make sure to repay this kindness
through Mr. Choe.

Goodbye.

Jeong Hyeok!

Jeong Hyeok!

We were looking for you.

-Sorry?
-About your fiancée,

we went to the marketplace together,
but she disappeared.

She disappeared?

She was with us the entire time.

But then, she suddenly disappeared.

It was getting dark,
but we couldn't find her so--

Did he

just dash off

to find Sam Suk?

I think so.

He raced off to look for her,

but why is my heart racing along with him?

Stop it.

Have some dumplings!

Try some!

You can take two.

Have some of this.

Have the rest. Just take the rest.

Buy some!

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

-Six.
-Six.

-Seven.
-Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Have some!

-Do you need help?
-They're cheap.

-Have some.
-Hey!

-Hurry up.
-You can take two.

-Try one.
-Come.

-Have some.
-Hurry up.

Try some.

-Here.
-Come here.

-Try some.
-Try some.

-Come on.
-Try some of this.

Is this it?

It's over there.

Okay.

-Here.
-Come here.

-Try some.
-Come.

-Come on.
-Try some of this.

This time,

it's not just a candle but a scented one.

Right?

Yes.

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.

Are you going to keep taking photos
of the scenery?

Your father told me

that during this trip,

we ought to get closer.

Right. I did hear that as well.

But it's difficult to do so
after a single encounter.

I agree.

But for your father's sake,

shouldn't we at least take
a photo together?

You're right. One minute.

-Excuse Me?
-What?

Could you take a picture of us?

Okay. Give me the camera.

But it's so scary here.

Does it have to be here and now?

They're gone already?

My goodness.

He could do much better.

CRASH LANDING ON YOU

Flustered? Who? Me?

-I have a woman in my life.
-What?

I'm so embarrassed.

Have you been dumped by him?

If he got engaged to someone else
when he was already engaged,

you ought to break his neck.

You look like you could go against
the hot bitch of Pyongyang.

I have an appointment.

I don't have to get all dolled up
to put her in her place.

Where did you see her?

If you're curious about me,
ask me instead.

I wish you could be happy

even after I leave, Jeong Hyeok.
