ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
Life
is full of surprises.
You can't be sure of anything in life.
Just tell him what I told you to say.
Hello?
-It's me. -Where are you?
Why did you call? Just come home.
By the way, whose 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 left without even saying goodbye to you.
But we've said goodbye many times, you know.
So saying it one more time might be pointless.
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.
Don't hang up!
Listen to me.
Tell me what you see. I can find you.
Jeong Hyeok.
I love you.
Let's go!
The person you have reached is not available.
GU SEUNG-JUN
The phone is either turned off or out of the service area and cannot be reached.
Jeong Hyeok? You need to come home now.
-My gosh. -What's going on?
What is happening?
There he is.
Jeong Hyeok.
The State Security Department is searching your house now.
-Gosh. -I think they're looking for Sam Suk.
Are we all thinking the same thing now?
He's fuming mad, but that only makes him even more attractive.
-Exactly. -Right?
You're here, Ri Jeong Hyeok.
The higher-ups ordered me to do this.
Where did the lady from Division 11 go?
We need to take her with us.
-What for? -I know everything.
That bitch does not belong to Division 11.
She is just living proof
I can use to completely destroy you, your father, and your entire family.
Making people spill the truth is my specialty, so don't you worry.
Whether I beat her up to a pulp
or burn her skin with electrical torture, she'll talk after three or four...
I told you
that a thing or a person is bound to change all the time.
You little shit.
You're finished.
Take him.
-My gosh! -They're taking him?
-Captain Ri, are you all right? -My goodness.
-Oh, no. -Make way!
-Why are they taking him? -Jeong Hyeok!
-My gosh. -What do we do?
Jeong Hyeok! What should we do?
-Gosh! -My goodness.
Gosh, what the heck is happening?
Shouldn't we tell them?
Can we really let them take him?
-What do we do? -What do we do?
Gosh, Jeong Hyeok!
I must pull myself together and focus.
Think, whatever it is.
Yes, I should think happy thoughts.
Something that makes me happy.
Jeong Hyeok boiling noodles.
Jeong Hyeok who didn't know the difference between candles and scented candles.
But now he knows the difference.
Jeong Hyeok who covers me with a blanket
on his way to get himself a glass of water.
I'll see you off.
-No need. -All is well.
I'll be fine after taking medication and going to bed.
I'm fine.
Jeong Hyeok who always lies
and says that he's fine even though everything is going astray.
Then you'll be safe. As long as you stay in my sight.
Tell me what you see. I can find you.
Does he think he's a superhero or what?
He always says that he can do anything and find me no matter where I am.
Jeong Hyeok likes to talk bullshit and bluff.
I miss you.
Where am I?
Hello? Is anybody there?
Is anyone outside? Hello?
Right.
They wouldn't have locked me up here
if they were going to let me out.
Some bastards
abducted me and locked me up here.
Why didn't they kill me?
What are they after?
Are they watching me right now?
Who are you?
RUN AWAY AND YOU DIE! LET'S BUILD A STRONG SOCIALIST COUNTRY
As you probably know,
it's not easy for regular soldiers like us to come here.
But my childhood friend just so happens to be
working as a high-ranking officer at this detention center.
I don't think he deserves to take credit for it though.
I agree.
I mean, whose fault is it to begin with?
Dan's mother came by the other day.
Master Sergeant Pyo got drunk that day and told her everything about Se-ri.
I mean, not everything about her.
I heard her mother is a rich businesswoman who owns a department store in Pyongyang.
Maybe she hired some people to track Se-ri down and did something to her.
Hey, no way.
I've seen it so many times in those South Korean dramas.
When someone interferes with their kid's wedding,
the rich in the South either splash water on that person's face or give money.
But the rich here are tougher,
so maybe she abducted her to teach her a lesson.
Captain Ri, that lady didn't seem like she could do such a thing.
I'm warning you.
Don't do anything you're going to regret.
Comrades.
I need you to do something for me.
Only after getting locked up,
you called me and said you wanted to see me
for the first time ever.
That woman is gone.
So?
You must know something about it.
Who did it?
Where was she taken to?
And is she
-okay? -How ridiculous.
Your wedding is in a few days,
but you're worried about another woman.
You look as if you've lost everything.
This is actually good.
You should stay locked up here until the day of our wedding
and just come out on that day.
I'll see you then.
Is it my father?
You told me not to do anything I'll regret.
Whom did you ask for help to make me regret my actions?
It can't be the State Security Department.
And there's no way your mother did it.
Did you
meet my father?
Did my father
-take her? That woman-- -That's right. She's dead.
You won't ever find her.
So you should just give up.
Go and tell my father.
If he hurts or harms her in any way,
he'll lose even the only son he has left for good.
You'd better tell him.
IDEOLOGICAL DISCIPLINE
Should I have gone in with you?
How's Jeong Hyeok holding up?
Director Ri doesn't know about this yet, right?
How did he end up in the detention center?
-He'll be furious when he finds out. -Just leave him.
What?
Hey, your wedding is just around the corner.
I have to keep him there
to marry him.
I'm not following at all. Can you elaborate?
U Pil.
-Dad. -Gosh.
What brings you here?
Yesterday, some men came and took that pretty lady from the South.
And she dropped this.
U Pil.
Have you shown this to anyone else?
Don't tell anyone about this, okay?
Okay, Dad.
Will she be okay though?
They say you never know what someone is really thinking.
We've known him for a long time. I can't believe he fooled us all along.
I don't understand Captain Ri.
He's not the type to brag about his family background.
-Exactly. -Still.
This is huge news. How could he keep it from us?
Captain Ri's father is the Director of the General Political Bureau?
I still can't believe it.
Director Ri won't sit still if he finds out
that his dear son is locked up in the detention center.
Shouldn't we tell him?
Captain Ri told us not to tell anyone,
so keep your lips sealed.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
