ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
Gu Seung-jun!
Seung-jun, stay with me.
Don't worry. I'm okay.
No.
Gu Seung-jun.
Gu Seung-jun!
AMBULANCE
Hang up another IV fluid bag
and check her vital signs again.
Ms. Yoon.
Ms. Yoon.
Inject epinephrine through the IV line.
Yes, Doctor.
Ms. Yoon, can you hear me? Ms. Yoon.
-Start CPR. -Yes, Doctor.
-Get the defibrillator ready. -Got it.
We'll begin defibrillation. Charge to 150 joules.
Charged.
One, two, three.
Charge to 200 joules.
-Charged. -One, two, three.
Are you okay?
Stay with me.
Look at me.
Look straight at me.
You told me...
that when you're doing better...
Later on, if I visit you
when I am doing better...
And if
you are
still single...
Then please give me...
a chance.
I was going to give you a chance.
I was going to wait until you visit me.
I was going to wait for you.
I like you, Dan.
Because I like you,
I will keep in mind where I am going.
I will live that way.
I will do that from now on.
I was happy.
Hearing that...
made me happy.
Dan.
That time,
what were you referring to?
Ramyeon?
That man?
Or...
me?
Why not?
I like it.
What?
You like what? Ramyeon?
Or did you mean that man?
Or...
me?
You.
It was you.
It was you, Gu Seung-jun.
I knew it.
Gu Seung-jun.
Gu Seung-jun.
Seung-jun.
Excuse me.
I think he fainted. Please do something.
Do something, please. Anything.
I feel
so bad for him.
Please do something. Please!
Wake up.
Wake up.
Please wake up, Seung-jun.
Please.
Seung-jun...
It's back.
-Give her the full amount of oxygen. -Yes, Doctor.
She's stable now.
Let's wait and see how she recovers.
All right, then.
We heard she was in critical condition
and thought we should be here.
Thank you.
I'm relieved. It sounds like she passed the critical stage.
Then,
does he have to leave again?
But her condition might worsen.
And she might look for him when she wakes up.
Please see what you can do.
It's nice to eat together like this. It's been too long.
Hey, don't laugh.
Sorry?
They might assume that we're some kooky soldiers seduced by capitalism
and think that we're easy.
It's still not safe to assume that their evil scheme has ended.
What scheme?
Think about it.
I'm the most elite agent of the DPRK.
They obviously wouldn't want to lose me,
especially when I came down here of my own accord.
That's why they're feeding us so well.
To tell you the truth,
I already got an offer.
"An offer"?
In American Imperialists' terms,
I guess I can say I got scouted?
We can send you back if you'd like to return,
but what you wish to do matters more to us.
What?
If you decide to stay, we can help you get settled.
They want me to stay.
That's how capitalism works.
Just like this saying,
"Take what's useful and ditch what's useless."
They find my skills very useful, so they're eager to keep me here.
You always talk about how much you hate capitalism,
yet you seem to have already acquainted yourself with the slangs here.
-Well... -But the thing is,
he asked all of us the exact same question.
-All of you? -That's right.
You too, Eun Dong?
Perhaps they did that because they were afraid
I'd think I'd get lonely and say no if they asked me to stay here all by myself.
Has anyone seen Captain Ri?
Not even once.
I tried asking the investigator, but he won't tell me anything.
A WEEK LATER
I heard you suggested exchanging those awaiting repatriation.
We have a few from the South
who are serving time in jail for espionage charges anyway,
so I'd say we and the South have nothing to lose.
No, it's different.
The six soldiers who got arrested in the South are still being investigated,
whereas the nine South Koreans here are already serving their sentences.
The difference is huge.
It's just us here, so let's be honest.
The Military Department went ahead
and prosecuted them without investigating or putting them on trial.
I bet some of them think it's unfair.
Sir.
You can never hide an awl in your pocket.
You want to cover up the fact that your son
betrayed us for a woman.
That is why you're trying to push ahead with a deal that is so unfair for us.
I'm sure they know that it's a losing bargain for them.
But they want them back no matter what?
They obviously want to settle this quickly.
Yes, they want us to hand them over as soon as possible.
And they want to keep it confidential.
They want the confidentiality term to be five years.
They're being sensitive about it because one of them
is a high-ranking officer's son.
Are we sure that they never engaged in espionage or any activities
that serve the interest of the North while being here?
Yes. As you can see in the summary of the investigation report
and the statements signed by them,
they didn't really do anything except for the gunfight
with Cho Cheol Gang.
And how do they feel about going back to the North?
They all want to return.
Then why don't we send them back in secret as per the North's request?
Going public with it won't do us any good anyway.
I agree. The conditions they suggested are favorable to us.
The Ministry of Unification agrees as well,
but we can't just yield to their request without trying to strike a deal.
How about we suggest a reunion of the separated families as well?
I don't think we have anything to lose.
They'll try to strike a deal,
to take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it.
How will you take responsibility for everything?
I have a plan.
-What's your plan? -Pardon me?
The South sent me these documents on the evidence they found.
Apparently, Cho Cheol Gang, who defected to the South
after committing countless crimes and even killing someone while being transported,
has been in contact with you on a regular basis.
Did you give him the orders?
Of course not, sir.
Right?
You see, my son would never do such a thing either.
He'd never betray his country because of a woman.
Are you saying we should cover up for each other?
Is that what it sounded like?
Fine.
On one condition, though.
The Military Department will have full authority
over the entire repatriation process, including where we'll receive them.
You wouldn't say no to that, right?
Hello.
-Nothing happened, right? -Hello.
Let's go in.
Ms. Yoon.
How are you feeling?
-Good to see you. -You look so weary.
I'm okay now. Have a seat.
Okay.
When did you wake up?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
