- [Ga-kyung gasps, whimpers]

[suspenseful music playing]

Wait. We're not done talking.

[music fades]

[whispering in English] Help me.

[whimpers]

[in Korean] What?

[gasps]

[whimpers]

[whispering in English] Assassination.

- [gasps]
- [g*nsh*t]

[yelps, whimpers]

[intense music playing]

[Ga-kyung screaming]

[in Japanese] Father, stay inside!

[groans]

[g*nsh*t]

[whimpering]

[groans, breathes raggedly]

[in Korean] It's from the bathroom.

Stay back.

[music stops]

- [assassin groans]

[gasping]

- [Ga-kyung panting]
- [yells] You, get out of the way!

- [panting]
- [tense music playing]

[Ga-kyung panting]

[whimpering, gasping]

[hysterically, in Japanese]
It's not me. [Whimpering]

[yells in Korean] Move!

- [g*n firing]
- [groans]

[flesh squelches]

- [wheezing]

[choking]

[gasps]

[whimpers]

[grunts]

- [g*n fires]
- [g*n clatters]

[in Japanese] Hands in the air.

[slow tense music playing]

[assassin groans]

[loudly] Hands up!

[whimpering]

- [banging on door]
- [policeman 1] Open it now!

[policeman 2] Break the door!

[policeman 3] Open it already!

- [whimpering]
- [banging on door continues]

[wheezes, chokes]

Father, stay there!

[wood creaking]

[blood drops]

Make one wrong move, and I'll sh**t.

- [door opens]
- [g*n c*ck]

[policemen clamoring]

[gasps]

[panting]

[rapid footsteps receding]

[whispering in Korean]
So-ran, are you okay?

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

- Father! Are you all right?

[tense music turns dramatic]

[Ga-kyung whimpering]



EPISODE 2.

[Ga-kyung panting]

[unsettling music playing]

[gasps]

[grunts]

- [thuds]
- [panting]

- [Fukuda in Japanese] Are you one of them?
- [gasps]

[yells] Where did he run off to? Say it!

I had nothing to do with it, I swear!

[panting]

But first, I have something to tell you.

[So-ran moans in pain]

- [So-ran groans]
- [Philip in Korean] Honey.

[So-ran continues groaning]

[Philip] Honey?

[So-ran whimpers]

[in Japanese] What is it?

Are you going to prove
that you're not involved?

Yes, I can prove it.

[Hideo] That maid isn't one of them.

When the k*ller brought her
to the bathroom as a hostage,

she warned me of an assassination.

Thanks to her, I could act quickly.

In other words, it was her

who saved me and my father.

By the way, Chief.

How did he even get past security?

Take her.

[gasps] I have something to tell you…

I have something to tell you!

- [So-ran groaning]
- [Philip in Korean] Honey.

- [So-ran moans in pain]
- [Philip] Honey.

[in Japanese] We need to lay her down now.

[So-ran gasps, in Korean]
Help me, Seo-hee.

[loudly] Keum Seo-hee!

[whimpers, sighs]

[groans softly]

[gasps] Yes, ma'am!

- [in Japanese] Freeze!
- [g*ns c*ck]

[angrily] Can you take
responsibility for this?

[So-ran groans]

If anything happens
to my wife and my baby…

[tense music playing]

…I'll hold the Government-General
accountable through the U.S. Consulate.

[So-ran moaning in pain]

Let her go.

[Ga-kyung gasps]

[So-ran groaning]

[softly, in Korean] Think carefully.

Saying useless things now
isn't going to help you.

If you want your 60 won,
you'd better cooperate.

I know.

That's why I'm here.

But…

I think you owe me 100 won.

I nearly got k*lled too.

[g*ns c*ck]

[Fukuda in Japanese] Put the g*ns down!

Why were you hiding a g*n?

With things so dangerous these days,
it's for self-defense.

I already had it on me

when the police searched me before dinner.

Mr. Yoo Philip fired the g*n
at the k*ller,

but he missed.

If you keep suspecting us,

I'll have no choice but to write
about what happened tonight.

Someone tried to assassinate
the new inspector general.

Could the k*ller be someone
opposed to Japan's rule of Joseon?

If news like this gets out,

what will the world think of Japan?

The international community

is already watching Japan
because of Manchukuo.

I can personally vouch
for our live-in maid's identity.

Don't lay a hand on her again

and stop suspecting her.

Consider this a warning.

[policeman] Chief!

[Fukuda] Did you find him?

[policeman] Yes.

He's the cake deliveryman from Itsukoshi.

He was knocked out on a delivery.

When he woke up,
his uniform and bike were gone.

Are you sure?

I swear it's true. I'm not lying!

I hope your wife feels better soon.

[melancholic music playing]

[Ga-kyung clears throat]

[music fades]

[in Korean] Do you have any idea
what you've done?

[voice breaking] I have…

Waited so long for this day.

- [angrily] You just…
- [bangs table]

…destroyed everything I've ever lived for!
[gasps, breath trembling]

Well…

I mean…

This wouldn't have happened
if you'd just paid me earlier.

[angrily] Money?

You ruined everything over a little money.
Are you happy now?

For that little money,

do you realize what you've done?

Don't blame me.

I nearly died myself.

Just give me the money you promised.

Bring me the b*ll*ts first.

[scoffs]

I knew it.

[scoffs] Forget it.
I'll just sell them myself.

Seriously, though,

I would have brought you the b*ll*ts
if you'd paid me.

But whatever.
I can live without that little money.

What? That little money?

Yeah. I never imagined I'd get involved
in the independence movement

and nearly die over a little money.

So forget the money.

Good luck with the independence movement.
Don't fail next time.

Aren't you Korean?

[sighs in frustration, mumbles] Why does
everyone keep saying the same thing?

Look.

I was born into a country
already under Japanese rule.

Is that my fault?

You can't blame me, can you?

Am I supposed to fight for independence
just because I'm Korean?

[exclaims] What has Joseon
ever done for me?

[g*n c*ck]

Do you want to fire a g*n here?

The police are still outside.

I'm not a snitch.

I already told them
I'm the live-in maid here.

If you get caught,
do you think I'll be safe?

There's no way we'll see each other again.

Believe me, I deeply regret

ever setting foot in this house.

[unsettling music playing]

Let her go.

So-ran.

Today's operation
has already fallen through.

[Philip] Still, if...

Besides, she has a point.

If you stole anything,
give it back before you go.

Stole something?

What are you talking about?

Should I search you?

[Ga-kyung] Happy now?

I was going to switch the photo
and go to America.

America?

Yes, I'm saving up so I can go to America.

You can't go to America.

America won't take you in.

[Ga-kyung] What?

I said you can't go to America.

If you don't believe me,
ask the U.S. Consulate.

Do you realize you're being so childish?

[softly] So-ran, are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

No, I'm fine.

Thanks to you sh**ting him,
we're in the clear for now.

I think he's an independence fighter,

but I don't know where he came from.

The Provisional Government knows
we're trying to k*ll Sato,

so I doubt he's with them.

His name is Keum Seok-jung.

Do you know him?

For 13 years,
I didn't know if he was alive or dead.

[g*n c*ck]

I wanted nothing more than
to find him and k*ll him.

[glass breaking]

He's my husband.

[music fades]

[panting]

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

[gasps]

[Hideo] You.

Are you really the live-in maid here?

Enough with the lies. Tell me the truth.

Who are you really, Keum Seo-hee?

I'm the live-in maid here.
You heard that earlier.

[Hideo] Stop lying.

If you're a live-in maid,
why were you in first class?

And what about today?

I've never heard of a live-in maid
who speaks English.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I couldn't go to school,
so I couldn't get any other job.

But that's not my fault.

If you're really the live-in maid here,

what are you doing outside now?

The house is a mess.

You should be cleaning
or tending to the madam.

I'm out getting medicine for her.

As you know,

she's not feeling great
after what happened earlier.

So would you mind letting me through?
I need to go.

If you keep suspecting me,

I'll tell the inspector general.

I did save his life earlier...

Are you going to see my father?

Your father?

- [Ga-kyung screaming]
- [Hideo in Japanese] Father, stay inside!

[in Korean] Yes, your father.
Let's go talk to him together.

Let's tell him you're treating me
like I'm a pickpocket.

He seemed like a fair and reasonable man.

- Then surely…
- [Hideo snickers]

[chuckling] Who are you to say that?

- Excuse me?
- [car approaching]

[sighs] This is a waste of time.
Let's stop arguing.

I won't ask who you really are anymore.

Give me back what's in my wallet.

You can keep the wallet and the money.

And I'll let this all go.

What's in the wallet?

- [pensive music plays]
- [mumbles] Hmm… Not worth a thing.

[chuckles softly] Look.

You keep going on about your wallet,

but I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about.

This is rather strange.

If you're so sure I stole your wallet,

why not take me to the police?

I suppose you don't want anyone
finding out what's in your wallet.

Whatever it is, it's useless to you.

I'll let you keep the wallet and money.

Why do you keep denying you have it?

I'm not denying anything.

I really don't know.

If I hadn't helped you earlier,
you'd have been taken for an accomplice.

Yet you don't seem grateful at all.

You could say the same about yourself.

You would've died
if it weren't for me, right?

Yet here you are,
calling your lifesaver a thief...

Excuse me.

[Philip] Seo-hee!

Seo-hee!

Yes, sir!

[Philip] What are you doing there?

Come on.

[So-ran panting, groaning in pain]

Yes, I'm coming.

- [Philip] Let's go.
- [Ga-kyung] Okay.

[So-ran groaning]

I didn't know you were here, Hideo.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, my wife's not feeling well,
so I called a cab.

Excuse me, but I have to run.

- [car door closes]
- [So-ran moaning in pain]

[Philip] Go to the Imperial University
Affiliated Clinic.

- [Philip sighs]
- [music stops]

[Ga-kyung mutters]

I saw you with Sato Hideo outside,
so I called you over.

What were you talking about with him?

Sato Hi…

Ah, Sato Hideo?

Uh, well…

[in English] You speak English, right?

You're an American reporter.

[intriguing music playing]

Yes, I'm American.

Where did you learn English?

I was a housemaid
at an American missionary's house.

I'll talk in English, then.

It's better if he can't understand us.

What were you talking about
with Sato Hideo?

I thought he had left before.

He thanked me for saving his father.

I see.

Those people think you're my housemaid,

so stay with us tonight.
That will be safer.

For all of us, okay?

Okay.

[nurse in Korean] Don't come in.

Please wait outside.

- When did the bleeding start?
- [So-ran groaning]

Oh, Dr. Kim, I've got her.

I'll call if I need you.
Go help with the g*nsh*t patient.

Okay.

[doctor] What happened?

Suzuki was brought in
with a g*nsh*t wound.

He's in surgery now.

We failed.

There was someone else
with the same goal as us.

He shot at Sato before I could.

He fled after getting into a shootout
with Sato's son.

[serious music playing]

For now, we're in the clear,

but not entirely.

So let's say I miscarried
because of the sh**ting.

We told Sato's son

we'd rushed here.

Sato will probably want to check tomorrow.

Understood.

[nurse] Did you get shot?

[So-ran] No.

I figured people would notice me
coming and going,

so I gave myself a little cut.

[nurse] Let me take a look.

I'll clean the wound. Bear with me.

Who's the woman you came with?

[music fades]

[melancholic music playing]

Well…

She'll be all right, won't she?

[door opens]

We couldn't save the baby.

- [gasps]
- [doctor] I'm sorry.

She'll recover after some rest.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[in Japanese]
Yes, Your Excellency, Governor-General!

[ominous music playing]

Ah… Yes, sir.

The American reporter is unharmed.

[Governor-General on phone]
Didn't I make it clear already?

We must not let the American reporter

detect even a hint of unrest in Joseon.

Our priority at the Government-General

is getting
the League of Nations Commission

currently in China to recognize Manchukuo
as a legitimate independent state.

We must show the world
that Manchukuo can become

as peaceful as Joseon under Japanese rule.

Is that clear?

- Yes, sir!
- [line disconnects]

- [phone thuds lightly]
- [sighs]

- [knock on door]
- [door opens]

Father.

Yoo Philip's wife was rushed
to the hospital with bleeding.

[music swells, fades]

[in Korean] She's quite ill,
so please keep a close eye on her.

Let me know right away
if anything happens.

[So-ran weakly]
I'm putting together your 100 won.

Stay here tonight. I'll pay you tomorrow.

Okay.

Uh, let me help you.

No, it's okay.

[gentle music playing]

Honey, help me get changed.

[Philip mumbles] Careful.

[gentle music turns dramatic]

[sighs wearily]

[music fades]

[in Japanese] Are you sure
you weren't hurt anywhere else?

Yeah, I'm fine.

This is just a little graze.

[exclaims] All done.

[Hideo] Thank you.

It's late. You should go to bed.

It's way past your bedtime.

[Hanako] No, I don't want to go to bed.

Don't push me.

I said don't push me.

[Yanagi] Good night.

- [Hanako whimpers]
- Good night.

I hate you, Ms. Yanagi.

You're the worst!

I hate you.

Good night, Hanako.

[Hanako] Hideo!

- Father! Are you all right?
- [g*n c*ck]

[somber music playing]

[young Hideo in Korean] Father!

- Mother's gone. Mother…
- [g*n c*ck]

[sobbing, in Japanese] Father…

It's me.

Hideo.

What's going on?

[in Korean] Mother…

She left home.

Is…

Is that true, Father?

[Seok-jung groaning]

- [g*n firing]
- [Seok-jung grunting]

- [whistle blowing]
- [policemen yelling indistinctly]

[somber music turns tense]

[g*n c*ck]

[breathing raggedly]

[music fades]

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

[melancholic music playing]

- [g*n c*ck]
- [melancholic music turns dramatic]

- [gasps]
- [music stops]

[sighs]

Are you up?

[tram bell rings]

[Fukuda in Japanese] Still haven't
caught him yet? Are you serious right now?

[policeman] We're drawing up a sketch now.

Get going now!

[policemen in unison] Yes, sir.

And you.

Who did you say showed up in Keijo?

Han Cheol-yong,
a key member of the Gugukdan.

Han Cheol-yong?

Is that confirmed?

Yes, sir.

He was behind the attempted assassination
of the Jongno police chief 12 years ago.

He was released two years ago
and went to Shanghai.

Then he was spotted in Jongno
three days ago.

The police inspector
who'd interrogated him before saw him.

Bring me his surveillance card.

NAME
HAN CHEOL-YONG

- Gugukdan, is it?
- [g*n c*ck]

[in Korean] Were you with the Gugukdan?

How long did you think you could hide it?

Gugukdan.

I haven't heard that name in a while.

Could this be some kind of fate?

[in Japanese] Sorry?

[Shinichi]
I'll report to the governor-general

that the Gugukdan was behind
the attack.

But that's still just speculation.

We won't know for sure if it really was
the Gugukdan until we arrest him.

It doesn't matter anymore
who they really were yesterday.

We'll just pin it on the Gugukdan.

They've been a thorn in our side
for years.

We'll use this chance to wipe them out.

Is that clear?

- [thumps]
- [Fukuda] Yes, sir!

- [knock on door]
- [in Korean] Come in.

[door opens]

[Philip sighs] She's not coming back.

She was with Sato Hideo last night.

That doesn't sit right with me.

- Could she have gone to him to betray us...
- [door opens]

[Ga-kyung panting loudly]

[exclaims]

The streetcar took forever to come.

[sighs]

Here.

Uh…

I brought you some seaweed
and a little beef.

[sighs]

I hope you get well.

[breath trembles, pants]

[huffs]

[So-ran] Here's the 100 won I promised.

[Ga-kyung clears throat]

Open it and check the amount.

It's fine. I nearly died.
You wouldn't mess around with it.

All right. Then let's part ways here.

We'll say you quit
because you were scared off by last night.

Fine. I'll be going then.

Actually, no.

I'll just take enough
for the beef and seaweed.

I don't think
we should see each other again.

So I won't give back what's in your bag.

Fine.

Let's not see each other again.

[pensive music playing]

[Philip] I don't think
we should let her go like this.

She seems to be quite loyal.
It should be fine.

Our mission fell apart

because of her greed for money.

So we should tell our comrades...

Do you want to get rid of her?

That's not like you,

to think about hurting someone.

Your safety matters more to me than
anything, more than anyone else's life.

I just hope…

You never have to k*ll anyone.

No matter who they are.

Even if it's for independence,

I don't want you to ever do that.

I've always wanted to tell you this.

I survived, so I finally
have the chance to tell you.

Please, promise me.

Don't pick up a g*n.

We promised in Shanghai.

Leave the g*ns to me.

That's our job.

You use your pen and your words.

Tell the world how Japan stole Joseon's
sovereignty and committed atrocities.

We'll handle the g*ns and bombs.

As for you,

once we k*ll Sato,
let the world know what happened.

Even though I'm your husband,

I'm still not part of the "us"
you're talking about.

Even if she comes back asking for money,

I'll have already k*lled Sato
and be gone by then.

[music fades]

[exclaims] Where did it go?

I know I tossed it here. [Mutters]

[No-ma] Kkot-nim, you barely ate.

Why are you going
to the bathroom so often?

[Kkot-nim] Because my tummy hurts.

- [No-ma chuckles]
- Hey, No-ma!

You scared me.

- Ga-kyung.
- [Ga-kyung exclaims]

Did you see that here?

That… [sighs]

That? What's that?

Hey, why'd you bring the tissue box?

What was it called? That…

[gasps] Right, Lee Ga-kyung.
Where'd you sleep last night?

We were worried all night.

We thought you'd gone to America
without telling us.

[gasps] No.

I can't afford to go to America yet.

That's not important. Did you…

Not see a piece of paper?

What paper?

That… pawn ticket!

You know, the pawn ticket I found
in the wallet I stole.

I threw it in here.

But I can't find it. Where did it go?

[sighs]

Where are you coming back from?

The outhouse.

Kkot-nim finally had to go
after five days.

What?

[hesitates] Kkot-nim.

[chuckles softly]
Did you take the paper from here?

You didn't, right? Please say you didn't.

[snickers] If not here,
where else would she get it?

[exclaiming]

[whimpering] Oh, no!

That's what my life depends on.

[No-ma] Your life?

Hey, what are you talking about?

Hey, you're constipated.

Of all days, why today? [Exclaims]

[sobbing] What am I supposed to do?

- [sighs]
- [quirky music playing]

I've got to do something.

I have to get it out. Hold on.

[Kkot-nim] Ga-kyung, the thing is…

Not now. I'm busy.

I didn't poop today.

Give me that.

[music stops]

[muttering]

[exclaims] Thank goodness.

- [sighs in relief, exhales]
- [No-ma snickers]

[sighs in relief] Good girl, Kkot-nim.

[intriguing music playing]

"Sin Tae-jin."

"1919."

SIN TAE-JIN

Who's Sin Tae-jin?
What did he leave at the pawnshop?

Is it that important?

[exclaims] No way.

I'm never giving it back.

This is my lifeline until I go to America.

ONE WON

[sighs heavily]

I nearly died because of those people.

Maybe I should've taken
the entire 100 won.

[voice breaking]
I've waited so long for this day.

- [angrily] You just…
- [bangs table]

…destroyed everything I've ever lived for!
[gasps, breath trembling]

[music fades]

Forget it.

Why get mixed up with dangerous people
over 100 won?

It does me no good.

I absolutely cannot die.

I'm going to survive
and make it to America.

[in Japanese] Interpreter Suzuki
has been placed on sick leave.

But we can't leave
the interpreter's post vacant for long.

For the time being,

you'll serve
as a temporary English interpreter.

Yes, sir.

[Shinichi] Because of Manchukuo,

we need to manage the foreign press now
more than ever.

As an English interpreter,

make sure to manage
the Western journalists well.

Both Tokyo
and His Excellency the governor-general

have their eyes on it.

Yes, sir.

Pay particular attention to Yoo Philip.

I heard his wife
was discharged this morning.

Go in my stead
and offer her my sympathies.

He's American, but he's of Korean descent,

so I've been keeping a close eye on him.

Then yesterday happened.

Even if he did sh**t the k*ller,

don't let your guard down.

The fact that he had a g*n feels off.

I…

I don't trust Josenjing.

[in Korean] Do you trust me?

You're my son, Sato Hideo.

Then why did you point a g*n at me?

The day Mother left us…

[sighs]

…you pointed a g*n at me.

Why on earth…

I wondered why, but I never asked.

Instead, I tried to be a son
you could be proud of.

[somber music playing]

I tried desperately to prove myself.

I was afraid you'd abandon me too.

I was afraid…

I'd be left alone again.

And yet you pointed a g*n
at me again. [Sniffles]

Now I want to know why.

What do I have to do…

To be your son?

Tell me.

[Shinichi] Hideo.

[music fades]

[in Japanese]
Do you have anything else to say?

No, Father.

So-ran.

[in Korean] Give it to me.

I'll clean up the house.

Forget everything for today
and get some rest.

[So-ran] No.

I need to keep myself busy to forget
all these thoughts for a while.

About Seo-hee.

The name I called her.

Keum Seo-hee.

Seo-hee…

Was my daughter's name.

March 1st, 1919.

Not long after the March 1st Movement,

I heard the Japanese
were burning villages in retaliation.

But I didn't think our village
would be one of them.

And then…

[gasps, exclaims]
What's going on?

No. Please, no.

[sobs] No.

- Please, no. Don't.
- [Seo-hee crying]

[So-ran] It's okay, sweetie.

[grunts]

[hesitates] Honey.

Seok-jung, what's going on?
Why are they doing this?

[sobbing]

My wife and daughter
have nothing to do with it.

Please let them go.

[So-ran] Yes, there must be
some misunderstanding.

[voice breaking]
My husband is just a schoolteacher.

My family has nothing to do with it.

Let them go now.

[soldier in Japanese] Shut up!

[Seo-hee continues crying]

[gasps softly]

[in Korean] Let me ask you again.

Tell me who joined you in leading
the March 1st protest in this village.

- Otherwise…
- [Seo-hee crying]

[whimpers]

…I'll k*ll your daughter.

- [in Japanese] It's the daughter.
- [hesitates, in Korean] No.

- No, please! Don't.
- [r*fles c*ck]

Please, don't.

No! k*ll me, not her.

Not my daughter. Please.

Please, I'm begging you.

Seok-jung.

Honey, tell them something, honey.

Honey.

How many times did I tell you?
I did it by myself.

The protest in this village

was all me.

I planned it all myself.

Tell me.

Who's your accomplice?

[So-ran sobbing] Honey…

[yells] Seok-jung!

[voice breaking] I swear, I did it alone.

[Seo-hee crying]

[in Japanese] sh**t.

- [screams, in Korean] No! [Gasps]
- [g*n fires]

[gasps]

[exclaiming]

[yells] Let go!

- [panting, sobbing]
- [somber music playing]

[wailing]

[Shinichi] This is your last chance.

Tell me who else was involved.

This time,

it's your wife.

[r*fles c*ck]

[So-ran sobbing]

I'm sorry.

Na Byeong-sun,

Choi Man-chun,

and Kim Pung-san.

Only three?

Yes.

Now, keep your word…

- [in Japanese] Set it on fire.
- Set it on fire!

[villagers clamoring]

[men screaming]

[villagers screaming, wailing]

[in Korean] No!

This isn't what you promised.

Those people are all innocent.

Please, please, put out the fire.

Please.

I don't think I said I'd spare them.

[snickers]

[yelling] You f*cking monster!

What did we ever do
to deserve this? [Groans]

We only asked for our country back.

[angrily] We only cried out
for independence!

But you people…

[in Japanese] Take him away!

[muffled, in Korean]
You worthless b*stards!

[screams]

[somber music continues playing]

[screams echoing]

[man] No.

[g*n fire echoing]

[music fades]

[sobbing loudly]

[somber music resumes playing]

[wailing]

[So-ran] We had our daughter
after ten years of marriage,

and that's how I lost her.

I never went to school.
I couldn't even read or write.

My husband and daughter were all I had.

I was just a country woman,

but that day

completely changed my life.

[grunting]

[somber music turns pensive]

[soldiers speaking indistinctly]

[So-ran] I'd once heard

there was a place
called Gugukdan in Shanghai.

So I made my way there,
risking my life time and again,

crossing mountains, fields, and rivers.

[g*ns c*ck]

[pensive music continues playing]

A LIBERATED KOREA

KOREAN INDEPENDENCE

[thuds]

I want to k*ll…

That b*stard.

I learned how to fire a g*n.

I was determined

to be the one to k*ll him
with my own hands.

[crowd clamoring]

[man] This way.

[man groaning]

[So-ran grunts]

[panting]

I never imagined
it'd take this long to find him

after he returned to Japan.

When I heard he was coming back to Joseon,

I cried until I had no tears left.

[whimpering]

Finally, my chance had come.

But then…

For 13 years,
I didn't know if he was alive or dead.

The man I'd sworn to k*ll
if we ever crossed paths again.

It was my husband.

[glass breaking]

In that moment,
when I had to call her something…

Keum Seo-hee!

I called her Seo-hee.

For 13 years,

I'd never spoken that name aloud.

[chuckles softly]

Seo-hee.

I'd said that name
thousands of times a day.

I suppose it just came out.

In Shanghai,

every year on my daughter's birthday,
I managed to find seaweed

and made a bowl of seaweed soup.

I don't think.

I could ever eat that.

[music fades]

[doorbell buzzes]

[Philip] You didn't have to bring this.

[Hideo] I hope your wife recovers well.

I was deeply sorry to hear the news.

My father also asked me to offer

his deepest sympathy and condolences.

Thank you.

My wife is asleep
after taking some medicine.

Sorry things are a little messy.

I hope you'll understand.

We only just got back.

[Hideo] Last night must've been shocking.

I'm sure you were both shaken.

As I promised,
I didn't run a story about last night.

Thank you.

Is your live-in maid all right?

The live-in maid…

Ah. Do you mean Seo-hee?

Yes.

It seems like she's not here.

Did she go out on an errand?

[Philip] I'm afraid she quit.

She quit?

I think she was shaken
by what happened yesterday.

She's never seen a g*n or blood before.

I tried to convince her,
but she wouldn't change her mind.

Yes, that's no surprise. I understand.

Do you know where she lives?

Her home?

No, I don't. Why do you ask?

[Hideo] If it weren't for her, something
terrible could've happened to my father.

I wanted to thank her, at least.

It's a shame she's gone.

I appreciate the thought,

but there's really no need
to go to such lengths.

Very well.

I'll see you later.

Okay. Take care.

[door closes]

They're looking for her.

[singing] ♪ If I had a million won ♪

♪ I'd save up to go to America ♪

[shop owner]
We replaced the filling with cotton.

It should be nice and fluffy.

I'll ring the bell ten minutes
before your two hours are up.

If you want to stay longer,

just pull this cord on the wall.

[singing] ♪ And I'd buy… ♪

Hang on. What time is it?

Damn it.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE

[bell dinging]

They're always running over.

[Ga-kyung] Mister.

You charge one won for a whole night.

Isn't 50 jeon for two hours
during the day a bit much?

You're really going to get rich.

Now you realize that?

[tuts]

That's why, Ga-kyung,

if you marry me,

this pawnshop and inn will all be yours.

Wasn't it your youngest's


Not yesterday. The day before.

Hey, if you bring your boyfriend,

I'll make it 30 jeon just for you.

Come on.

After all this time we've known
each other, can't you do better than 30?

Other places are begging me
to come for free.

What? Do you really have someone?

It looks like you do.

Hey, just bring him along.

I'll let you stay the night for free,
not just during the day.

You can't take that back.

Just bring the guy here.

Men know men.

[scoffs]

Here. This is for the b*ll*ts.

- [Ga-kyung grunts]
- [shop owner] All right.

Just marry me, and all this will be yours.

Thank you.

If you find any more,
bring them here, not anywhere else.

Okay.

By the way,

do people ever pawn something
and not come back for it for 13 years?

Thirteen years? Who would do that?

The interest alone after 13 years

could buy that item back
several times over.

Right?

Unless the item meant a lot to them.

If that's the case, wouldn't they
come back for it sooner?

I mean…

Something you wouldn't want anyone
to find at home

[door opens]
Welcome.

- [in Japanese] Welcome.
- [Ga-kyung] Welcome.

[Hideo in Korean] Excuse me.

Have you been running this shop for long?

Oh…

[gasps] Oh my.

Hello.

- [gasps] Over there!
- [shop owner] Why? What?

[gasps]

[theme music playing]

[gasps softly]

Got you.

The pickpocket.



[Philip] Do you want to send another spy?

I said this is your last chance.

[g*n c*ck]

Sin Tae-jin.
Does the inspector general know him?

I want to know all of a sudden.

[So-ran] She's sharp and a good liar.

You look so gorgeous.

[So-ran] She's quick on her feet
and quick with her hands.

But she'll definitely put us in danger.

[Ga-kyung] Do you want me to be a spy?

[So-ran] You just do what we tell you.

I was wondering…

[Hideo] Why did you come
to the Government-General?
