YOON SE-RI HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC

A SOURCE CLOSE TO HER SAYS
SHE WAS LOST IN A PARAGLIDING ACCIDENT

Tell me.

Did you know

about her identity?

I did.

What is a woman from South Korea
doing here?

It started with an accident.

And what came next was a coincidence.

-She will go back soon.
-Is that why you've been hiding her?

Yes.

You might end up losing everything
trying to hide her.

It means

she might even k*ll you.

Would you

not mind it?

To be honest,

I don't want to be k*lled.

Who would want to die?

But...

I just have no choice.

What do you mean?

I've already failed

to protect someone I cared the most
and ended up losing the person.

That damn accident...

It would've been better to die.

So?

I have to

send her back home safely.

Even if something happens
to me along the way,

I just think I can't help it.

Do you not mind

even if you die?

Do you not mind?

Even if something happens
to him because of you?

He got sh*t.

And today, the m*llitary
barged in, didn't they?

After g*ns and soldiers...

You never know
what will happen to him next.

And you still don't care?

Are you threatening me now?

This isn't a thr*at, but a fact.

You're a smart woman, Se-ri.

Think carefully.

If you feel grateful or sorry to him,

or by any possibility,

if you like him,

you should just disappear now.

You know it.

You want to contact him when you
don't know how things are going there?

Will you add fuel to the fire?

Let's be rational here.

You've just been lucky.

If anything goes wrong,

all the people
who've been hiding and helping you

might end up in trouble.

Please let me go.

I have to leave now.

Did you say you want to protect her
without caring about anything?

I feel the same way.

I, too,

will do anything to protect my fiancé.

I can never let you go there

to get yourself k*lled.

I'm warning you.

Don't do anything you're going to regret.

Hey, honey.

Getting off work is not the deal here.

I never know when the director's son
would want to use a phone again.

You've always wanted to go to Pyongyang.

I wouldn't get a second chance
to get on his good side like this.

Who is it?

-How may I help you?
-I remember you saying

that I can use everything
in the hospital as if they're mine.

Sure thing. Please help yourself.

Please take care.

Please drive safely.

EMERGENCY ROOM

PARAMEDIC

SEARCH ROUTE

The second you got involved,
his life must've started to fall apart.

STATE SECURITY DEPARTMENT

And it must've gone off the rails already.

I bet he's going on a way
he's never been before.

Where do you think is the end of it?

What do you think will be there?

Aren't you afraid?

CRASH LANDING ON YOU

What if Se-ri got kidnapped?

You saw her get on it voluntarily.

If she's known him
since she was in South Korea,

does it mean

he's her boyfriend or something?

It's not like that.

When the officials from the State Security
Department barged in yesterday,

I guess she tried to hide for my sake.

If that's the case,
she could've called you

and told you what it was all about.

Captain Ri,

I got your phone fixed.

PYONGYANG

What? Is it Se-ri?

Is it her?

It's me.

Who do you think I am?

Were you waiting for Se-ri's call?

This is Gu Seung-jun.

I know you're with Se-ri.

Where are you? I'll be there.

I knew you'd want to look around for her
when you're sick in bed.

That's why I'm calling you.

I shouldn't have called you
if you knew about it.

I asked you where you are.

Se-ri is with me, and she's doing fine.

She's safe and comfortable.

So stop looking for her.

I'll take care of the rest.

That's what Se-ri wants.

Okay.

Let me just hear her voice
to make sure she's okay.

Hello? Hello?

What's wrong?

-He hung up on him.
-Who is she with?

Isn't it obvious? It must be her boyfriend
from South Korea.

The phone is turned off
or is not in service.

The phone is turned off?

Don't even ask. It's off.

Why isn't Se-ri calling you?

She has no face to call him,

so she asked her boyfriend
to make a call instead.

Do you want me to call him again?

Why would he?

Now that she got back
together with his boyfriend,

she just wants to forget
all about the past.

That damn wench.

-This is a great thing for us.
-He's not her boyfriend.

That's not true.

You don't know anything.

You're not supposed
to sh**t your mouth off like that.

-Back in South Korea, they were just...
-That's not true.

They broke off their engagement.
He's not her boyfriend.

Broke off their engagement?
Does that mean he was her fiancé?

I knew it.

I thought there was
something going on between them.

That's not true. There's nothing going on
between those two.

Don't you know what "break off" means?
It means they split up.

They are nothing but strangers.

Why are you yelling at me?

I'm not yelling at you.

Your habit of badmouthing
have always bothered me.

I'm just telling you to break it off.

Who says I yelled at you?

Who is it?

I'm from the next room,
and you're being too loud.

Will you please keep quiet?

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

RI JEONG HYEOK

Ri Jeong Hyeok?

Nice to meet you.

Do you know me?

Where's the pretty girl from South Korea?

I heard a guy named Ri Jeong Hyeok
is her UF.

-I heard he's quite the babe magnet.
-UF? Babe magnet? What's that?

Ju Meok, translate it for me.

It's the latest popular slang
in South Korea.

U stands for ultimate.

F stands for favorite.

Therefore, saying someone is their UF

means that person
is their ultimate favorite.

Hold on.

Are you telling us porkies
just because we don't know things?

No.

That is what UF means.

As for babe magnet,

it means that she is sinking
into your undeniable charm

and she can't escape,
for her legs have already gotten soft

like a salted cabbage.

That's what it means.

I was really curious about you.

Now that I see you in the flesh,
I get what she meant.

I totally agree.

Hey, you have no right
to agree or disagree.

Go ahead and talk as much as you want.

Since you're her UF, I'll let this slide.

What?

Are you smiling now?

No. I'm not.

I'll look into Se-ri's issue.

You guys may get back to work.

Thank you for coming today.

-Okay.
-Yes.

-Sure.
-Take care.

Was he sh*t in the head or what?

He yells and smiles at the same time.
What's wrong with him?

Could it be that he has bipolar disorder?

A major one.

I must say a g*n is really scary.

THE GREATEST HAPPINESS OF ALL

Put it near the window.

-Okay.
-Turn it around.

-Put it over there.
-Will you hurry?

My gosh.

Just turn it over.

The sunlight is coming in this way.

-My goodness.
-There.

This is actually not bad.

Why do you seem so depressed
on your moving day?

I'm fine.

It can happen.

People do a lot of thinking
before their wedding.

Is that it?

I wasn't like that.

My wife, too.

She got cold feet
about a month before the wedding.

What? Why?

She said she liked someone else.

Is that so?

It got me thinking
about all sorts of things.

Shall I go to her parents and beg?

Shall I find that damn jerk she likes

and break his legs in half?

I was willing to go that far.

What do you think I did?

My gosh, it's not a drama from down South.

Why do you stop talking like that?

What did you do?

"Go."

"You should go to him
if you like him that much."

"I will wish for your happiness," I said.

And?

She came back in three days
and apologized in tears.

So we got married.

She should've left you
when she had the chance.

Mi Hyang just made things
worse for herself.

I know. She's so unfortunate.

I mean, come on!

I have a headache.
I'll go get some fresh air.

Is something going on?

Did they have a fight?

I heard it would snow a lot tomorrow.

It's freezing already...

-Who is he?
-Well...

He's a butler who manages this place
and give tours in the neighborhood.

Mr. Cheon.

I'm his butler, Cheon.

What are you going to do?

Why did you bring her here?

You said I'm just a fraud,
so I shouldn't act like a decent guy.

I guess you're right about that.

Damn it. Since when did you
start listening to me?

Also,

I know our trade is illegal,
but there should be some business ethics.

You made a promise
with Lieutenant Commander Cho Cheol g*ng.

Mr. Cheon.

If Cho Cheol g*ng is involved,
he gets half the commission.

Without him, you can get all of it.

What will you do?

I'm just saying...

You should've shared your plan with me.

What do you want me to do?

What we need to do first

is separate Se-ri from the guy
named Ri Jeong Hyeok.

If we don't stop Ri Jeong Hyeok,

he will send Se-ri back
to South Korea one way or the other.

We should stop him then.

PARAGLIDING ACCIDENT

Do you know this woman?

I saw you having coffee
with her at a hotel before.

Don't try to lie to me.

Why would I lie to you?

I know this woman. I know her very well.

She doesn't belong to Division .

And she sneaked in here from South Korea.

Is that right?

It's not that she sneaked in.
There was an accident.

That doesn't matter.

This is what I'm going to say
to report her.

Will you report her?

If you do, your fiancé will be in trouble.

Do you think I'm afraid of that?

I don't care if he gets
in trouble or even die.

Now that I got the facts straight,
I should get going.

Wait.

I know what you mean.

But let's cooperate before you report it.

I bet you want to separate
Yoon Se-ri from Ri Jeong Hyeok.

-That's what I want too, comrade. So--
-Do you think

we're real comrades
now that you called me that a few times?

I mean, we should
put our personal feelings aside

and calm ourselves down
to think rationally.

There's one simple way.

Five, four, three, two, one.

A simple way?

Let me hear what it is.

Are you doing this yourself?

This is the least that should be done
to win him over.

I should probably start
talking about Pyongyang tomorrow.

Can I come to Pyongyang with you?

Me too.

All right. Let's all go to Pyongyang.

-Yes!
-How nice.

You didn't eat, did you?

-Where is he?
-Did you not know?

He just left the hospital.

He said he'd get treated
at the m*llitary hospital.

-Sir.
-My gosh, Director.

-Then what about Pyongyang?
-That's not the problem now.

JANAM AREA ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION

Captain Ri.

What brings you here
on a cold day like this?

Like I said before on the phone,

I have an urgent favor to ask of you.

Sure. You can ask anything.

If it weren't for you,

my youngest kid would've d*ed
before getting surgery.

I have to return your favor.

Thank you.

I think there's a secret villa
in Mount Janam.

I can't search the address
and find the place.

So you want to detect electric power
to find the place.

That's right.

Special buildings like villas
have a special extra power line

along with the power line
that goes in other buildings.

They do it in case of a blackout.

And in this area, there are

three special power lines,
number , , and .

If one of them is connected to
a secret guard post,

I bet it is number
which goes down to the woods.

Are these bugging devices?

All the rooms in this hotel
have those devices installed.

You didn't know, did you?

I had no idea.

What's all this?

They are bugging devices.

When I was in Pyongyang,
I saw them installed in hotel rooms.

We should be careful.

This place is a kind of accommodations.

-Like a fancy vacation home.
-You're right.

Do you want me to check your room as well?

It's okay.

How do you know stuff like this, Se-ri?

Me?

Someone told me.

Do you want to go get some rest?

No.

Now that we're all here,
we should have a meeting.

All right. Tell me about your plans first.

How will you send me back
as soon as possible?

My family said

they will find a way to bring me back
secretly and safely.

There must be a plan.

Is there a route you have in mind?

By land, sea, or air?

Yes, Mr. Cheon. Speak.

This is confidential.

There's a deal called boat-to-boat.

-Boat what?
-Boat-to-boat.

It's two boats meeting
on international waters.

You take a small boat
and meet with a bigger one.

But we can't try it for a while.

Why not?

Did you not know?

There was a sea control order.

The new Chief Coast Guard
is really strict.

He wouldn't even take phone cards.

They wouldn't?

What?

Is that all you have?

-I already know the stuff.
-Se-ri.

I'm not going to get you out of here
in a dangerous way like that.

-Then what?
-I'll let you

fly comfortably back home
in business class

without taking any risks.

So how?

I guess you forgot.
I have another name, Alberto Gu.

I'm a foreigner with a British passport.

-So?
-I'll make you become like me.

So how?

You should marry me.

Alberto.

Are you insane?

We should register our marriage first.

Then we can get your passport
issued by the embassy.

You're not Yoon Se-ri from South Korea.

You will get on a plane with me
as Alberto Gu's wife.

That makes sense.

No, it doesn't.

A fake marriage with you?

This is what I went out for today.

The documents

are almost ready.

And this is

what your family wants.

I saw smoke coming out of the chimney.

Who are you?

Are you subordinates of Captain Ri?

Please help yourselves.

And have some drinks.

We can't drink.

They were just getting
the house ready for Captain Ri

under my lead as the chief officer.

So what?

I'm Captain Ri's future mother-in-law.

Don't worry about it.

Gosh, we can't do this.

Here. Have a drink.

It's okay. All right.

-I'll drink this.
-Okay.

I know Captain Ri
is a little inflexible and stubborn.

Now that you bring it up,

I'll tell you the truth.

Yes. He's a little like that.

I see.

He's a man of principle
which makes him attractive.

I guess he's popular with the ladies.

I think he knows it already.

That's why he pretends to be cold-hearted.

Master Sergeant Pyo.

Yes?

It's not like I'm making things up.

I don't like to drink with many people.

Master Sergeant Pyo.
Why don't you drink all night with me?

Gosh, I'm not supposed to do this.

Yes.

It's Christmas Eve.
We should have a party.

Come on down in an hour.

Okay.

Today is Christmas Eve.

It's snowing.

Se-ri. You like bouillabaisse, right?

And Sauvignon Blanc.

You know, when it comes
to dishes with clams,

I only eat bouillabaisse.

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?

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Let's drink.

How is it?

It's not bad. It's a little bitter though.

Is it?

I told them to bring a good one.

Shall I open another bottle?

It's okay. I don't feel like drinking.

About what we discussed earlier.

I know it's just on paper,

but I think we should do it right.

I'm not sure if I could get you
a wedding dress or wedding photos,

but it's not a wedding without

a wedding ring, is it?

What is this?

I know this is funny.

But we have wine and candles here.

I'm proposing to you now.

We split up seven years ago,

but we're back together
after all the complications.

Don't sound so serious.

It feels like we're
getting married for real.

Can't it be real?

I know you have feelings
for someone else now.

In an abnormal situation like this,
it's only natural for you to do so.

You were lonely and scared.

You had no one to count on.

But those emotions aren't real.

They'll be gone once you leave here.

They're fake.

So forget all about it

and marry me.

SWITCH BOX

What was that?

I heard there's no blackout in this place.

What's going on?

Mr. Cheon.

Mr. Cheon?

Call the substation.

I'll go check if there's a problem
with the electric pole.

Yes, sir.

What is he doing there?

He's crazy.

He should be in the hospital.

What will you do out there?

What? Will you go with him?

Will you live with him in North Korea?

Or...

Will you bring him to Seoul?

What are you going to do?

It's frustrating to ask you questions
where there's no answer.

This isn't right, Se-ri.

Don't open the door.

Do you think
he can really send you back home?

He kept failing.

Don't talk about him that way.

He did the best he could.

And I chose not to go at the last minute.

We're going to come up with another way.

Okay.

Let's say that you two somehow
concocted a plan.

What about the consequence?

Who'll pay for it?

What consequence?

We're in North Korea.

Your safe return to Korea means

that Ri Jeong Hyeok's safety
won't be guaranteed.

What makes you so sure of that?

I'm sure you know a woman named Seo Dan.
She's Ri Jeong Hyeok's fiancée.

How do you know that woman?

That woman figured it out.

She figured out your identity, Se-ri.

She said she wouldn't let Ri Jeong Hyeok

go out of his way
to give you shelter and protect you.

She said she'd expose you.
If she does, Ri Jeong Hyeok...

He will die here.

He'll die.

Everything will be okay
if you get through this and let him go.

Everything will go back in place.

You, back to where you belong.

And him, back to where he belongs.

What

are you doing here now?

Are you hurt?

You're

in no place to worry about others.

This is ridiculous.

Do you think a g*nsh*t wound is a joke?
Did you not hear your doctor?

He said you had to be careful
for two to four weeks.

Why did you come here

at this hour when it's freezing out here?
What on earth are you doing here?

Must you ask?

I came for you.

I figured you'd be waiting for me.

Sorry to disappoint you,

but I didn't wait for you.

Let me go back to Seoul.

I must go back,
so I can move on with my life.

-I'll find another way soon.
-But you didn't.

Your plans kept failing.
How could I trust you?

Seung-jun has a plan.

We'll register our marriage.

And I get a passport as a foreigner.

I can get out of here safely, then.

He just proposed to me.

That's what I'll do.

So,

it will be better
if we don't see each other again.

"We"...

I know I said it, but it's stupid.

There's no "us".

We're nothing.

Even being together like this
is a violation of the law.

I'm really sick of this place.

I desperately want to get out of here.

So don't try to stop me.

Coming all the way here
to take me with you

makes me really uncomfortable,
and I don't like it.

Do you mean it?

I mean it.

I understand.

I got it,

so don't cry.

It's all right.

Go back to your places.

Let's go back in.

Go back inside without me.

I want to be alone.

Okay.

It's cold outside.
Don't stay out too long.

It's freezing cold.

It's so cold.

He's all by himself.

What if he passes out on his way back?

What if then?

Oh, gosh. This is driving me crazy.

What should I do?

Se-ri!

Se-ri!

What...

Where did he go?

It hasn't been that long. Where is he?

Get in the car for now.

I'll give you a ride.

Let go of me. I didn't come for this.

Gosh, Se-ri.

No way. How could she leave with the car?

You acted as if you had the best plan.

How could you let her betray you?

Do what?

We have one more problem.

What problem?

I only followed after you

because I was worried that you might

freeze to death in that condition.

That was my only intention coming here.

Okay.

I'll leave after I drop you off
at your house.

Nothing has changed between us.

I meant everything I said earlier.

And we'll go our separate ways
starting now.

I think the car Se-ri drove

should be out of gas by now.

Actually, I told them to bring gas
along with other supplies.

But she had to drive that car.
This is awful.

Goodness. The two of them
will freeze to death in this snowstorm.

I don't think it will stop snowing
anytime soon.

Then, what should we do?

There are no houses nearby.

There's a school not far from here.

We'll be able to start a fire there.

Let's go there.

It was hard to set up the appointment.

Only someone with my connections

could get you a meeting with m*llitary
Director of the Central Committee.

By the way,

the m*llitary Director
of the Central Committee has enough power

to go up against Director
of the General Political Bureau, right?

Listen to yourself.

Director of the General Political Bureau
is a setting sun.

But the m*llitary Director is a rising sun.

If you don't want to get burnt
by the setting and rising sun,

make no mistakes and do it right.
Do you understand?

Don't worry.

Why do you think
m*llitary Director agreed to meet with you?

The setting sun has to go down quickly,

but it's refusing to go down.

So the rising sun
is full of spite right now.

m*llitary Director
is in dire need of an excuse

to oust the General Political
Bureau Director.

If you give him the right intel,

the table might turn.

Hey, if this goes well,

don't forget that I helped you. Okay?

So let me get this straight.

The son of the General Political
Bureau Director

is protecting an unidentified woman
from South Korea?

That is correct, sir.

And that woman belongs to Division

and is under special supervision.
And this hasn't been confirmed?

It's not that it wasn't confirmed.

It cannot be confirmed.

It has to be indicted

by the State Security Department
as an official investigation

in order to check the identity
of individual in Division .

As it is only a suspicion,

her identity cannot be confirmed.

On top of that,

this individual is connected to
the General Political Bureau Director,

it's more difficult.

So why did you come to me?

If you can get it approved by the General,

everything will be simple.

Making her a South Korean spy
will be the easiest.

Even the Director
of the General Political Bureau

won't be able to survive this.

I have a question.

Are you telling me
that old fox had no idea

what his son had been up to?

If he knew,

he would have definitely done
something about it.

You can't see
what's right in front of you.

Even the smartest man

fails to spot it
when his son is lying to him.

If I ask the General
for the approval myself,

I'll be putting my career
on the line as well.

For me to do that,
I must be certain that she's alive.

Bring that South Korean woman
to me at once.

Okay, I will.

Yes, Lieutenant Commander Cho.
Captain Ri hasn't come back home.

His officers did come
by his house in the evening.

Is that so?

It seems it's been a while
since he got discharged.

Why isn't he at home? Where did he go?

Okay.

If Captain Ri or that woman
come back home,

report to me immediately.

Yes, sir.

There. This is the part.

Captain Ri asked me
if he could watch the footage yesterday.

And he wrote down the plate number.

That bastard.

Given today's weather,
we can't go out to look for them.

After observing them together,

I don't think this will be simple.

Are you there, Ms. Seo?

I'm listening.

This time, I need you to make a move.

Will you really do it?

Do what?

Marry him.

It's just on paper. Why not?

Even so, marriage isn't a joke.

And the situation we are in
isn't a joke, either.

Anyway, I don't think
that's how people should get married.

Look who's talking.

I heard that your fiancée, whom
you'll soon marry, found out about me.

Did you know that?

Yes.

What if she reports us? What happens then?

Does it mean that you two will
break off the engagement?

Are you worried that
my engagement might be broken?

I'm worried that your life might be.

Your life here

might be shattered because of me.

I don't like that.

Is Ms. Seo Dan your first love?

Did you two go to the same middle school?

No.

We didn't know each other
when we were in school.

Then, who is it?

I'm asking about your first love.

Who is it?

No wonder.

You do look like the forever-single type.

I'm not sure what you mean by that,

but it sounds very insulting.

Yes.

That's probably right.

Well, that word

is a bit insulting.

Man Bok.

Why are you drinking so late at night?

Did I wake you up?

Go back to sleep.

Is it because you're worried

about Captain Ri?

How do you know that?

I've been the wife
of the Rat for ten years.

Why wouldn't I know that?

Is that so?

Man Bok, you are just fulfilling your duty
given by our country.

Even if something happens to him,

that won't be your fault.

Honey.

Do you remember Captain Ri Mu Hyeok?

Of course.

He was very good to our family.

I...

let that man die.

Well, your mission said--

And

his younger brother
is Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok.

Really?

If something happened
to Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok, too,

I don't think I could live with it.

I let the men who treated me
like a human being die,

and I have to stay loyal to the man
who doesn't treat me like a human being.

If that's my mission
given by our country...

If that's my life,

don't you think that's too cruel?

You have a fever.

Seeing how you're sleeping
in this position,

you're obviously a soldier.

Be safe.

You too.

All right. You're going to be late.
Go on, then.

This is for you.

What? Where did you get the money?

I bought this with the prize money
I received during that competition.

You should've gotten something
for yourself instead.

I heard that the trees
at the outpost are so thick

that sunlight can't get through.

You should keep track of time.

Still, I don't need one
that's this expensive.

Just try it on.

Go on.

It sure looks good.

Thanks, Jeong Hyeok.

Don't say that.

I'm the one who's always grateful.

All right. You'll be late. Go on.

Mu Hyeok.

Mu Hyeok!

Are you okay?

This won't do.

We should go back home or to the hospital.

The sun's out, and it has stopped snowing.
Let's go, okay?

Hi.

Sit down.

Dan, what is it?

There's something I must tell you.

Why aren't they here yet?

I requested a car,

but I think they're having trouble
getting here due to the snow.

Damn it.

There it is.

I don't think that's it.

What is that?

Who are they?

Why are they here?

-Why are there so many of them?
-Search this instant.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

-Hold on.
-What is it?

-What's going on?
-Excuse me.

What's wrong?

Is this because of Se-ri?

She's not here.

You shouldn't treat me this way.

I'm a guest.

You should be at my service!

Fine. Do as you please.

You want my money, right?

But you won't get any.

Listen up, you South Korean scaredy-cat.
I'm not interested in money.

I just needed things that I could only get
through money.

For example,

I want the power

to be able to k*ll whoever and wherever.

But I don't need such power to k*ll you.

People think you're dead in South Korea.

So even if I k*lled you here and now,

no one would know.

Where is Yoon Se-ri?

There's no way I could've said all that.

Do you really not remember?

How much

did I tell her?

Everything. You told her everything.

What will happen to Captain Ri?

He'll be reviled by both families.

The wedding will fall through as well.

Wouldn't that put Se-ri in danger?

She tortured me with alcohol,
and I gave in.

She tortured you, my foot.

You even told her to write it all down.

Gosh, you were so active and enthusiastic.

Do you really not remember anything?

Hey, that woman looked at me and thought,

"He looks like he's in the highest rank,

so he must have
all the high-level information."

She was determined to target me,

so what could I have done?

You probably looked the easiest among us.

Come on, now.

If you want to succeed, you should let go
of what happened in the past.

Focus on handling the problem
that's right in front of you first.

You're right.

This is what I think.

I was tortured yesterday

and spilled a bit,

just a tiny bit of the truth.

But if Captain Ri
doesn't find out about it,

I think everything will be fine.

What are you saying?

I mean, please don't tell him about this.

Comrades.

Comrades.

Aren't we comrades?

Ju Meok. Eun Dong.

Where did you go so early in the morning?

Where were you yesterday
when you were getting drunk?

Frankly speaking, I sensed that
something was off

between you and Jeong Hyeok,

so I went out.

I called the hospital,

but they said he had been discharged.

So I thought he went home.

Mom.

Hey, hear me out first.

I went to his place, but he wasn't there.
Only his men were.

One of them seemed like a loudmouth.

So I tried to make him spill.

And?

What did he tell you?

I heard it. I heard it all.

Heard what?

I don't remember.

That's absurd.

A swallow from the South?

Out of three meals,

two of them have meat dishes?

The hair smells like flowers?

Flowers?

I really did hear everything.

It was something extremely shocking.

But I can't, for the life of me,
remember why I was so shocked.

I also decided to do something.

But I just can't remember...

what it was.

What is this on your wrist?

What?

Oh, right.

I wrote down the main points here
so that I wouldn't forget.

"Swallow from the South."

Aren't all swallows from there?

You wrote down such nonsense.

"Out of three meals,
two of them have meat dishes"?

Are there swallows that eat meat?

-I don't know.
-"Elas" what?

"The hair smells like flowers"?

Darn it. I bet m*llitary codes
are easier to decipher than this.

Mom.

What are you so curious about?

I want to know

if you

and your fiancé have any problems.

I want to know...

if you are happy.

I want to know if he loves you.

These are what I'm most curious about.

Mom.

Don't you worry.

No matter what happens,
I'm going to marry him

and live happily ever after.

Come on. Let's go back to the hospital.

I'll be fine after taking medication
and going to bed.

You always say that.

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere.

I mean, I'll go eventually.

But right now, you're sick.

And it's Christmas.

So focus on getting some rest
and recovering.

Hello, sir.

Have Jeong Hyeok and Se-ri
returned home together?

No, sir. No one's home yet.

Report immediately if anything comes up.

Yes, sir.

-Let's go to the m*llitary housing.
-Yes, sir!

PARADISE FOR THE PEOPLE

Since winter break has started
for the kids, it'll get noisy.

Just thinking about cooking
three meals a day

-gives me goosebumps.
-You can say that again.

-Mom.
-Mom.

-They're here.
-Hello.

-Hi.
-Mom.

Before returning to your homes,

show us your exam results.

You took the final exams, right?

-Oh, right.
-I aced mine.

I see. Good job.

I only got a few questions wrong.

Really? Let me see.

Let's see. All right.

Goodness, you're going to succeed in life!

You excel at everything!

Great job!

Ho Yeong, let me see yours.

Mom,

you'll be very embarrassed.

Will it be okay?

You little brat.

Did you come in last again?

You little prick!

Wol Suk.

You need to help your kids
with their studies.

When it comes to slow-learners like him,
they need more attention.

I heard Nam Sik has a tutor.

Yes.

She's from Kim Il Sung University.

-Really?
-Is that true?

Yes. Her name is Kim Ju Yeong.

She's well known in Kaesong,
and I've hired her.

Do you think
she could teach Ho Yeong as well?

I'm sorry, but no.

She only teaches one student every year.

And one of them is Nam Sik?

Mom!

Nam Sik!

It seems like you're set to study medicine
at Kim Il Sung University.

When it comes to knowing
a lot of information

and putting things into action,
you're the best.

So what's your score?

I think I aced it.

Really? Goodness.

Your tutor said it'd take some time,
but that was quick!

She sure is talented!

Let me see.

KAESONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
FINAL EXAM, ETHICS

KAESONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
FINAL EXAM, ETHICS

Mom, don't look at the scores separately.

Look at the total sum.

It's exactly .

-Let's go.
-Let's go home too.

Let's go eat.

Let's eat. Good boy.

Where are you going?

Ms. Kim will be teaching
an advanced class today--

You little punk!

Where's that stick? Where is it?

Don't do it!

Don't go, you prick! Come here!

Stop right there!
You need a good b*ating to wake up!

Come over here!

Look who's here.

Sam Suk.

So...

Did you come back
after finding something out?

What?

His fiancée moved here yesterday.

I see.

She brought a huge hanging TV,

high-tech washing machine,
talking rice cooker,

and what else?

What is it?

Right! The bed was huge!

I've never seen such a big bed before.

It was this big.

That's how newlyweds' houses look like.

I understand.

I just came back temporarily.

I just stopped by.

But since I'm here,

I wanted to get you guys gifts
as a thank you.

Gifts?

Gifts?

But you don't have any money, do you?

She's right.

You're the poorest one here.

This isn't just any diamond.

This is a level one,
three-carat VVS diamond.

You'll know immediately
once you shine light on it.

It'll reflect the light very clearly.

This round brilliant cut diamond

will look like dancing raindrops.

The rest of the ring is made of
high-purity k white gold,

but I don't need to tell you that, do I?

Right.

What she said is true.

I can vouch for her.

Yeong Ae is very sophisticated.

She wouldn't just vouch for anyone.

Goodness, it sparkles magnificently,
doesn't it?

That's a given.

All right, then.
Shall we begin the bargaining?

We'll start with , , won.

What?

I'll raise it , won more
every time you say that.

, , won.

, , won?

, , won.

, , won?

This is all I have.

It's probably around

, won.

I can't buy that. I have no money.

-I'll give you a discount.
-Who'd buy that from me?

Like I've told you before,

I only accept items
such as thick leather jackets

or hair.

Bring me clothes

or something you can eat.

Look here.

Let's be more flexible, shall we?

There's a long story behind this.

Yes. Excuse me.

Then how about we exchange
everything you have here with this ring?

Everything?

By the way, what did you tell him?

Oh, I didn't say much.

You don't need to worry about that.

She got dumped.

She's not sane right now.

Take the ring.

She won't be able to take it back.

This is Se-ri one. This is Se-ri one.
If someone hears me--

It's not her?

This isn't Chairwoman Yoon Se-ri's voice?

No. Her brother and his wife confirmed it.

They're certain.

Shouldn't you do a voice-print?

We already did.

But they're having a difficult time
since the sound is too vague.

Also, she's already been announced dead.

Didn't you watch the news two days ago?

This is Se-ri one. This is Se-ri one.
If someone hears me--

See? I got goosebumps
and an allergic reaction.

My body remembers her voice.

If your body can remember it,

why can't her family?

The siblings don't really get along.

Her brother called her once,

and she blocked his number.

-Why?
-You see,

it's impossible for people like us
to understand conglomerate families.

I've witnessed it all.

They value shares over sibling bonds
and stocks over their children.

But still...

Her parents may think otherwise.

Let's visit her mother.

She gave birth to her.

She'll definitely recognize
her daughter's voice.

She's not the birth mother.

I found out not too long ago.

Then how about the chairman?

He's her biological father, right?

You've finally gone insane.

How could we possibly meet him?

He's here.

Chairman Yoon.

-Chairman Yoon?
-Chairman Yoon.

Chairman Yoon!

Hey, I already saw your faces.

Come here. I said, come here.

-Are you talking to us?
-Just come here already.

Why are you here?

We were passing by.

You were passing by?

You were passing by this VIP parking lot?

What's going on?

It's nothing, Father.
They manage this parking lot.

-You should go in first.
-Is that so?

Sir, I have something to say!

Just go inside.
You don't need to worry about them.

They were asking for some money.

I can take care of it. Go in first.

-Sir! Chairwoman Yoon is alive!
-Get rid of him.

That hurts! Hold on!

Sir!

Chairman Yoon!

What's wrong with him?

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Chairwoman Yoon is alive!

My allergic reaction is proof!

He's telling the truth!

I heard her voice!

You better brace yourselves.

You'll be seeing my lawyer tomorrow.

Sir!

Sir!

It really hurts!

-Why are you doing this?
-Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Hello?

It's me.

Where are you?

Why have you called me?

By the way, who's phone is this?

I'm leaving now.

To where?

Come on.

I told you already that I'll be leaving
with Gu Seung-jun.

You'll be leaving right now?

Yes.

It turned out that way.

I'm leaving sooner than expected.

Where are you right now? I'll be there.

No, I've already left in a car.

I'm sorry I didn't even have the chance
to say goodbye.

But we've already said our goodbyes
many times before.

We don't need to say it again.

You're wrong.

I know we've said it

many times before, but we still need
to say our last goodbyes.

We do need to say it again.

So tell me where you are right now.

You're unreasonable.

I've already left.

It just turned out that way.

So stop asking where I am

or saying that you'll come to see me.

Se-ri, please!

Just one minute!

I don't care if you're far away.
I'll be there.

So please wait.

I'll be there soon!

Goodbye.

Be safe.

I hope you have a good wedding.

I hope you have a lovely family.

Be happy.

Live a long,

happy life.

Forget about

our time together.

Make sure

you do that.

Don't hang up!

Listen to me.

Tell me what you see. I can find you.

Jeong Hyeok.

I love you.

YEAR AGO

RA-HA, DADDY'S SORRY. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Mr. Hong, where's the marketing plan
for next year's Lunar New Year?

I think I asked you to print it out again.

What's wrong?

Isn't this too harsh, ma'am?

It's Christmas Eve and : p.m. at that.

I think this is too much.

Are you Christian, Mr. Hong?

-No.
-Then

why is someone else's birthday important?

Let's be real.
It's someone else's birthday.

So why would you go out of your way

to decorate a tree?

Why would you bother to write a card?

I mean, why would you give gifts?

Is it their birthdays?

Isn't it ridiculous?

Don't you think so?

They're all idiots.

Life

is full of surprises.

You can't be sure of anything in life.

CRASH LANDING ON YOU

I miss you, Jeong Hyeok.

She's dead. You won't ever find her.

Whom did you ask for help
to make me regret my actions?

-Wake up!
-Hey, look at that.

Are you saying Sam Suk is from the South?

This is an urgent investigation request.

Didn't Jeong Hyeok visit you?

You're hiding that woman
and risking our family's safety!

If something happens to her,

I'll be living in hell
until the day I die.
