01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

My name is Kang Hanna.

[chuckles]

I've always wanted to meet you.

It's insulting that you don't
know me, but I know you.

It just doesn't seem
right, if you ask me.

How old is your son now?

[chuckles]

So, you wanna know
when it started?

He's nine years old.

Junik's mother says my boy's
just like Junik at that age.

Wanna play LEGOs with me?

[Hanna] He loves to draw and
he's very good at singing.

He always looked forward to playing
soccer with his dad on weekends.

Even though he only ever saw
him once or twice a week,

he loved him more than
anyone in the world.

But instead of playing with his
dad, now he's in play therapy,

because his dad was m*rder*d.

Happened at the church
while he sang in the choir.

He saw the whole thing.

Your son saw it happen?

Eunseong sings in the
Little Tree Boys Choir.

[choir singing]

MASS FOR PEACE

ENTRANCE HYMN THE
LITTLE TREE BOYS CHOIR

What's wrong?

Nothing.

[Hanna] Every day, I wonder,

would I still hate
you as much as I do

if my son hadn't
watched it happen?

Since that day, your grief and
misery's been seen across the nation.

You handle your
grief so gracefully.

You look beautiful in profile.

[chuckles] This picture of you,
in particular, is heartbreaking.

How is it that you held back the
tears in your eyes for so long?

Everyone says that you're able to
grieve with such grace and dignity,

but I was clutching my chest
and wailing when it happened.

[clamoring]

[g*nsh*t]

[screams]

[g*nsh*t]

[Hanna] While they marveled
at your composed grief,

-I was running around like a madwoman…
-Junik!

-Honey!
-…trying to protect my child alone.

[Munju] The very tragic death of my
husband, Jang Junik, who fought for peace…

[Hanna] And while you
were telling the world

you'd carry on your
husband's legacy,

[Munju] …when I was almost
k*lled on that train,

the whole time I was
running toward this moment.

[crowd cheers]

[Hanna] I was so devastated

I couldn't even bring myself
to touch the jacket he left.

What do you want?

I got the DNA test results.

I'll be filing a
paternity lawsuit soon.

I'll tell everyone
who will listen

that Jang Junik's secret son is

claiming everything
that was taken from him.

[chuckles]

Oh,

and Junik's grandmother's
backing us in the lawsuit.

She's the one who suggested
that we move in with them

to show everyone we have
the family's full support.

Tomorrow, we're moving into the
house Junik used to live in.

[scoffs]

This all falls on Junik.

He should've asked
me for a divorce.

He could be selfish
like that sometimes.

I can give your son
more than he's entitled.

Let's keep this all quiet. It'll
be better for him that way.

That much I know for certain.

[scoffs] It's just like
what Junik told me.

Nothing gets to you.

Though, unlike you,
I have zero patience.

The reason why I tolerated it
all was because I loved him.

You think I'm doing
this for the money?

I want to blow this up,

make sure the whole
entire world knows

that I was the one
Junik really loved,

that I had his child,

and that your grief
is all just a show.

[chuckles] There's no such
thing as graceful grief.

Real grief will
always be graceless.

It makes you scream and
thrash like a wild animal.

Where's that?

Malmö, Sweden in 2022,

when I was six.

Looks great.

Do you want it?

Well, thank you.

I have a lot more.

I've traveled around a lot.

This must be your first time
losing someone you love.

This is my third.

Grieving takes a lot of energy.

It starts with anger,
then humiliation,

then resentment,
regret, and guilt.

And once you've gone through all those
emotions, the real grief sets in.

The real grief

is terribly quiet and as
heavy as a ton of bricks.

-So don't wear yourself out quite yet.
-[sobbing]

You need to be able to
take care of your child.

[crying] Junik was
completely miserable!

All because of you.

You never loved him, did you?

When was the last time
you slept together?

You know,

I wanted to save the man I
love from his awful marriage.

Junik was the one drowning,
clutching a rock as he sank!

Typically, I don't
fight the weak,

but if I have to,
I won't back down.

Pull yourself together,
Miss Kang Hanna.

Even after you make it through
something this terrible…

There's never a guarantee
it won't happen again.

[Hanna] Did you know that I designed
this necklace you're wearing?

It's the most popular design
for the past 2,000 years.

Apparently, it's been
the most popular design

for the past 2,000 years.

[Hanna] I'm a jewelry designer.

Do you know what I prayed
for while I was making this?

That you would be able to feel
the same horrible pain that I do.

God answers prayers
in mysterious ways.

You think I'm not a threat.

But I'll do whatever it
takes to make you cry.

I promise you, I will see those
tears as they fall to the ground.

[grunts]

Ms. Seo.

I'm okay.

TEMPEST

How long have you known?

Guess she found a way
to meet you after all.

Tell me how long you've been
making a fool of me, Mother!

She's an expert.

She deliberately went
after Junik and used him.

I had everything handled
before the election.

I offered her a good amount of
money, and she agreed to move abroad.

It's infuriating.

And now, I've lost
my chance forever.

The chance to go up to Junik and
finally tell him I'm leaving.

I'd bring him back just
to divorce him if I could!

I know.

It feels like you're
tail-spinning into nothingness.

But you know what?

This won't k*ll you.

Right now, it feels like your
world has turned upside down.

But by tomorrow morning, you'll
wake up and see it isn't so bad.

And then one day,

you'll realize that
it made you stronger.

I should know. I've been
through it many times.

Why did you tell me
to run for president?

To humiliate me in
front of everyone?

You knew, didn't you?

That the mistress was
gonna come forward.

This is an opportunity for you.

Don't you see that?

A chance to step out of Junik's
shadow and run as your own person.

To show your vulnerability and
let people embrace you for it.

A chance to prove
she can't break you,

and to show everyone you'll move past
this, no matter what the problem is.

[scoffs]

Sometimes, you sound
absolutely deranged.

From this moment on,

I'm cutting all ties with you.

You can't become
president without me.

This is not how I want
to win the election.

"…SHALL BE OWNED BY LIM OKSEON"

That's right. I'm
rescinding our contract.

You really think you
can get away with this?

When I left this place, there was
only one thing I made sure to take.

The jewelry box you gave me.

You remember?

Fill this up with gifts from
Junik from over the years.

It will bring you happiness.

Mother, this is tax evasion.

What are you talking about? This
is a perfectly legal tax deduction.

[Munju] I didn't think
jewelry would make me happy.

So instead, I started
collecting your secrets.

What's the matter with you?

Ever since you married that
girl, you've been acting strange!

[Junik] She has nothing to do
with this, so don't blame her.

I refuse to be a part of
any kind of tax fraud.

[Munju] Because I thought
they could protect me one day.



FINANCIAL STATEMENT
ACCOUNTING FRAUD

Thanks to my collection,
I could work with you,

despite knowing exactly
what kind of person you are.

So now, make sure that
woman stays quiet.

I'd better not hear anything
about her ever again.

You never had the decency to
come visit me, so here I am.

So, I see you've
met my grandson.

Don't you think he's precious?

He's just like his
father, isn't he?

Do you realize now what
a terrible woman you are?

You nearly let Junik die
without a child like that.

We'll be living together
before you know it.

We should've done it sooner
while Junik was still alive.

[line rings]

Miji.

Remember the list we made
for donating my inheritance?

Carry it out immediately.

Ms. Seo, I don't know
what you're referring to.

Is this a scam call?

[line clicks]

What's wrong?

Did you promise Hanna a piece of
my inheritance once you get it?

[scoffs] Because
you seem surprised.

[sighs]

Do you know a place

where I won't have to…

See or hear anyone?

There's something I wanna do.

So this is what it feels like.

The first time you fire a g*n, the
hardest part is handling the recoil.

[g*nsh*t]

That was good.

You're off to a great start.

You stood your
ground the whole time

without wavering.

[door closes]

Mr. Paik.

I finally understood today what
kind of security you provide.

I made it through the
day thanks to you.

Is your hand in pain?

sh**ting often causes
some muscle tightness.

[Dujin] Here's the current
situation on the Korean Peninsula.

In the skies, U.S. recon flights
have increased significantly…

And more than three carrier strike
groups are heading toward the region.

The US is deploying its full
range of strategic assets

including bombers, fighter jets,
advanced weaponry, supplies, and troops.

They're being deployed, and
much closer to the peninsula.

[missiles whirring]

"THREE YEARS OF
US MILITARY RULE:"

"WHAT REMAINS IN
OUR SUBCONSCIOUS?"

What do you think this means?

A US attack on North
Korea is imminent.

w*r will break out

within the next few days.

Sir.

What exactly are
you talking about?

I have lived my entire
life fearing w*r.

But I've never been as
afraid as I am today.

The signs of w*r I only imagined

have suddenly appeared all at
once over the past couple of days!

Yeah, okay. But what exactly
are you saying we do?

There's really nothing that
we can do about it, right?

We have to do something.

We need to take to the streets

and stand up against w*r,

and hold candlelight vigils for
peace, pray wherever you can

and appeal to politicians and
the international community…

That we do not…

Want w*r in our land.

[Miji] This is the list of
organizations for the donation.

I've reviewed their financial
reports, and audit statements.

I selected ones that award at
least 85% of their total revenue

to public service projects.

By sector there are 20
organizations in social welfare…

"PRESIDENT CHAE RETURNS
FROM CHINA VISIT"

"MEETING WITH CHINESE
PRESIDENT CANCELED"

…15 in research and
scholarships, 10 in education,

six in health care, four in arts and
culture, and five in other areas.

[person] Dr. Im.

Whose side are you on?

The side of our people.

I'm on the side of our people.

I wish to see reunification
in my lifetime.

So we can live with… [grunts]

You're spreading rumors
about w*r breaking out,

encouraging people to riot.

-What are you, a spy?
-[grunting]

-You talk too much.
-If you're scared of w*r,

then just die and stop
crying for attention.

[gasps] Dr. Im. What
happened to you?

Oh, Munju.

We're running out of time.

Listen carefully.

Something happened
over in Beijing.

[vice president] Well, President,
it's time for you to choose.

Will you lose the
North to China?

Or will you win this w*r and unify
the peninsula during your term?

[Dujin] I think the US
convinced Chae Kyungsin

that a first strike
is the only option.

w*r is coming soon.

There are three clear signs.

First, bunker busters to destroy
the North's underground bases.

They're being
stockpiled in Okinawa.

A significant portion of that
has already been deployed.

Second,

the US strategic
nuclear submarine,

USS Michigan.

Not long ago,

a Russian
reconnaissance satellite

detected it departing
from the Port of Yokosuka.

BUNKER BUSTERS SSBN USS MICHIGAN

And the most definitive sign

is the evacuation
of US citizens.

If the U.S. military radio
plays Sinatra's version

of "Have Yourself A Merry Little
Christmas," then it's really over.

It's a signal that the bombing
will start in 12 hours.

["Have Yourself A Merry
Little Christmas" playing]

That information's reliable?

I truly wish it were wrong.

Ms. Seo, we have to
go. People are coming.

It's the second-to-the-last
bed there.

Dr. Im, come with me. I'll
get you somewhere safe.

No…

I no longer have any power.

You're the only one,
Munju, who can stop this.

Go and tell people.

Do whatever it takes.

[Sanho] What do you want?

We're carrying out official
duties. Please step aside.

Can you show us a warrant?

No.

We're not required
to present a warrant.

This obviously is
an ill*gal arrest.

-Dr. Im has done nothing wrong.
-[agent] Arrest him.

[agent 2] Step aside.

[grunting]

[people clamoring]

[agent screaming]

This is a hospital!
What are you doing?

They're with a
criminal. [panting]

We're arresting a spy.

-Hey, hey, stop them from taking photos!
-[agent 2] No photos. Stop!

-Hey, stop them!
-[nurse] Wait, wait, hold on.

-Okay. Let's go.
-Dr. Im.

Someone go get me a wheelchair.

[tires squealing]

[phone buzzes]

Hi, Miji.

-Ms. Seo, I figured it out.
-What?

This is the report
of the text messages

from Mr. Jang's secret phone.

Here.

[Munju] What are these?

[Miji] They look really
suspicious, right?

Almost like some coded
messages from North Korea.

So I Googled it,
and it turns out

a lot of people have gotten
messages just like this.

It's just a system error
from the telecom provider.

You know, like those
automated texts that flood in

right after you
activate a new phone.

But when I looked closer, I
noticed slight differences,

just a character or two.

That's when it hit me.

The SincereMail password
is 15 characters long.

[gasps] Fifteen…

[Anderson] Dear Junik, it all
started about a month ago,

when three crew members from
a North Korean submarine

defected to the US.

According to their statements…

[in Korean] That submarine was a


It wasn't just some kind of
modified old Soviet diesel sub.

[Anderson] The new submarine
being built in North Korea

is not an upgraded version of the
Romeo-class as initially believed…

The hull was black, at
least 140 meters long.

[Anderson] …but actually a highly
advanced 10,000-ton class SSBN.

…140 meters long,
maybe 10 meters across.

[crew] A crew of about
six times the KSS2.

Space for a 160 crew.

And it had small wings that
were on either side of the bow.

It had 16 vertical launch tubes,
arranged in two rows of eight.

They appeared to be for large missiles,
with a diameter of around two meters.

Two meters in diameter.

So that's 16 vertical instruments
on the bridge in two rows of eight.

[panting]

[Anderson] The whole
agency was upended,

and everyone started poring through all
available satellite images of North Korea.

Eventually, they identified an
object in a few of those images,

just a shadow, but enough to
start planning the operation.

It's an exact match. This confirms
the submarine crew's statements.

Well, we'll have
to authenticate it,

but this does suggest a high
probability that they're the same.

Then we must take
immediate action.

Well, of course, why hesitate when
the evidence is so clear, huh?

[Anderson] I didn't believe it.

How could anyone build a submarine
without so much as a whisper leaking out?

[Junik] What if the North
Korean defectors are lying?

You made a similar mistake
during the Iraq w*r.

[Anderson] That's
what I've been saying.

So I wanted to hear the
story from them directly.

But then something happened.

-Put your hands up on the wall.
-No…

[clamoring]

[grunts]

[Anderson] One crew
member shot the other two

and then turned
the g*n on himself.

[soldier] See if
they're dead. See.

[Anderson] But the whole
incident was swept under the rug.

[chief] The three aircraft carriers,
Roosevelt, Reagan, and Carl Vinson,

will deploy to Korea to face a
potential crisis on the peninsula.

[Anderson] Preparations for a strike
on North Korea are still underway,

and the only evidence we have
are the crew's statements.

Mr. President,
may I have a word?

Mr. President, we have to ascertain
whether these submarines are real.

We can't move forward based on the
testimony of three dead witnesses!

Sir!

Junik,

I decided to take
matters into my own hands

and find out whether that
submarine really exists.

Thank you.

I've been scouring
records, trying to find out

who's been buying
submarine components.

Hey, I'm still missing 2021.

As I suspected, I
came up with nothing.

There wasn't a shred of evidence

indicating that North Korea is building
a 10,000-ton nuclear submarine.

However…

There was one name
I kept coming across

over and over again.

Somebody who imported structural
steel plates from Poland…

Precision sensors
from Switzerland…

And engineers from Sweden.

The name was Stella Young,

an American arms lobbyist.

Wait, this Stella
Young is saying

the North Koreans have the capability
to build a nuclear submarine?

I heard a rumor that, for the past
five years, she's been claiming

that North Korea does have the capability
to build a 10,000-ton submarine.

So I started looking into her.

PASSPORT SCAN

STELLA YOUNG, USA

[Junik] Can you issue a
passport without a photo?

[Anderson] I've
seen it once before.

The passport of a Romanian
asset I saw had no picture.

[Junik] Stella
Young, is she a spy?

[Anderson] Well, according
to her immigration records,

she entered South
Korea ten years ago

and never returned.

I suspect she's
still in South Korea.

Please find her, Junik.

It's the only way to solve the
mystery behind this submarine.

[Miji] And this is the last e-mail
that Assemblyman Jang sent him.

[Junik] Dear Anderson,

I think I know that
woman, Stella Young.

I'll e-mail you once
I sort things out.

[Munju] And two days later,

Junik was k*lled.

Do you think Stella
Young was behind it?

[reporter] The US Navy's Ohio-class
strategic nuclear submarine,

the USS Michigan, will arrive at
the Busan operational base shortly.

It is highly unusual
for the US Navy

to dock a submarine at
a foreign military port

and disclose it openly.

-Is there a reason behind this?
-Right.

Uh, USS Michigan is one of the largest
strategic nuclear submarines in the world,

measuring 170.6 meters in
length, 12.8 meters in width…

Everything's happening
just as Dr. Im said.

"SIGNS OF w*r"

"U.S. CIVILIAN
EVACUATION OPERATION NEO"

If those really
are signs of w*r…

There's only one thing left now.

The Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Munju] I know why you're here.

You must be in agony.

Is there a w*r coming soon?

Today?

Tomorrow?

Seo Munju. You.

Even when things were at
their worst between us,

I still believed in you.

I thought we were both fighting
to stop w*r in our own ways.

You used to send me notes
before negotiations.

What we could compromise on
and what was nonnegotiable.

So how could you
back down like this?

What the hell happened?

What made you accept the possibility
of w*r on the Korean Peninsula?

As I walked into the church,

my whole life flashed
before my eyes.

All the times I almost died.

If only I had died back then.

You'll never
comprehend the trauma

of having to choose between the
lives and deaths of millions.

Consider yourself fortunate.

I would have never chosen w*r,
no matter the circumstances.

You don't know that.

You would've chosen differently?

What could you
have possibly done?

[Munju] Ambassador, may I
have a moment of your time?

I could use your wisdom.

[in Mandarin] "Don't you see"

the Yellow River's waters descend
from Heaven, rushing into the sea,

"never to return?"

"Don't you see the shining mirror,
grieving in the high hall for your hair,

silken black at dawn, that
dusk has turned to snow?"

[in English] Hello, Ambassador.

Your eyes have lost
their usual serenity.

You seem worried.

They're wide with worry.

Are you concerned about tonight?

Is China aware of the
situation, Ambassador?

Why would China
tolerate a w*r in Korea?

Do you want this w*r?

Everyone wants it.

I see there's a
reason behind this.

A reason driving this w*r.

Ambassador, have you ever seen the
Yellow River flood with your own eyes?

No, I have not.

The water is vast and powerful.

It sweeps away
everything in its path.

It's futile to resist it.

It's foolish to think that mere mortals
can bend the will of the heavens.

You cannot fathom
this, Ambassador,

because you have never
seen something truly vast.

Now, I understand you
wish to prevent this w*r,

but there's nothing you can do,

except pray.

Pray the w*r ends swiftly like a
summer shower, fierce but fleeting.

Because if things go wrong, it
could escalate to World w*r III.

[in Mandarin] "A small mountain
can overshadow a great one,

simply because it
stands closer."

[in English] What does
that mean, Your Excellency?

It's an old poem written by a
Korean man named Chong Yagyong

when he was seven years old.

I believe a small mountain
can overcome a big one

because I'm young
and naive like him.

So… I'll do what I can.

So stubborn.

So beautiful, so smart.

And yet, you will die.

SUYEONG BAY, BUSAN

SUYEONG BAY FIREWORKS FESTIVAL
A TALK WITH CANDIDATE SEO MUNJU

My fellow Koreans.

The people of Busan on
this Sunday evening.

Tonight, I won't
speak about myself.

The reason I stand
before you is to warn you

that a w*r could break out
before sunrise tomorrow.

[crowd muttering]

W-w*r?

[person stammers] Did they
say w*r? How's that possible?

Let me say this one more time.

[watch beeps]

Within the next 24 hours,

the United States is likely to
launch an attack on North Korea,

and there's a very real chance

the Korean Peninsula
could get wiped out.

"THE US WILL BEGIN ITS ATTACK…"

Standing by for orders.

Two days ago, the President of
South Korea accepted the US notice

of an impending
strike on North Korea.

It is now 7:02 p.m., and
President Chae Kyungsin has likely

taken shelter in an underground bunker
in preparation for the coming w*r.

At 6:50 p.m., the official
Blue House Instagram posted

a photo of the president attending
the People's Party convention,

but that photo is fabricated.

To those at the convention,

if any of you have seen the president
after that time, please provide proof.

Madam President, I
just have one question.

When your people stand at the
crossroads of life and death,

will you really just remain
hidden inside a bunker?

Special operation units
will arrive shortly.

You need to make your decision.

[agent] Stand by
until further orders.

Keep the target in sight.

[sirens wailing]

The US wants to start this
w*r because, a month ago,

they learned that North Korea
was building a nuclear submarine.

They believe this to be
their final opportunity

to safeguard their country from
a North Korean nuclear strike.

Secretary of
Defense. Immediately.

But who will fight this w*r on
the Korean Peninsula? We will.

Tonight, we all walked these very
streets with countless dreams.

However, by tomorrow, we
will all share just one.

That we, and those we care
for, can survive this.

But what if the US is launching this
attack based on false intelligence?

What if the submarine
isn't even real?

-The Zoom call. Get it going, come on.
-Oh, yeah, yeah.

And now, the U.S. Assistant
Secretary of State, Anderson Miller.

Madam President.

Hello.

My name is Anderson
Miller. American.

[Munju] Anderson, we're surrounded
by the police right now.

But you must tell the
truth, no matter what.

The submarine that the US is
planning to strike tonight.

Is it real or fabricated?

The only evidence that
this submarine exists

comes from the unverified testimony
of three North Korean defectors,

one of whom committed suicide after
sh**ting his fellow crew members.

-We must not take them at their word.
-Requesting entry order now.

We can't wait any longer.

Furthermore, I received
the following video.

Actually, the truth is, I've
never seen that submarine.

I've only heard rumors.

[phone ringing]

What?

[agent] Sir, I think
you need to see this.

[investigator] Then how were
you able to testify to it?

The chief engineer explained
it to me in detail.

I memorized it on
my way over here.

[investigator] Why did your chief
engineer tell you to give false testimony?

I guess that he was
pushing for w*r.

[alarm blaring]

[police] From this moment forward,
this assembly is deemed ill*gal.

Disperse and leave
the area immediately.

[agent] The
firecrackers are a sign.

Fire at the first bang.

[police] From this
moment forward,

this assembly is deemed ill*gal.
Disperse and leave the area immediately.

We're going in.

[engine revving]

What?

[sirens wailing]

I can only hope that
I'm wrong about this.

I'd rather be seen as someone
spreading rumors and inciting a riot!

Please make that the case

so that nothing happens tonight and
so we all wake up safely tomorrow.

Hey, Ms. Seo! [screams]

Please everyone,
spread this message!

[agent] Get 'em off! Now!

Let's all work together
to stop this w*r!

[vehicle approaching]

[people screaming]

[firecrackers banging]

Oh, sh*t.

[grunting]

I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.

Press this down
for three minutes.

Sanho.

I'm really okay.

I'm not.

[Sanho] I'm gonna keep talking to you,
and I need you to keep responding, Munju.

I need to make sure you're
breathing okay and staying alert.

[Munju grunting]

You were shot too?

Look at my face.

Don't look at anything else.

Okay.

I see a good amount
of tissue damage.

Bone and nerves are fine.

[groans]

Next part'll be more painful.

You need stitches.

Can it wait?

Who's gonna do it?

I am.

No, no, wait. Come on.

What about anesthesia?

It'll be quicker than
giving you anesthesia.

[breathing heavily]

To protect your teeth
when you're clenching.

[whimpers]

[groaning]

Good job. You did really great.

You're a good patient.

I was screaming

in my head.

With this kind of
injury in combat,

you only get one
minute for first aid,

then you grab your g*n again.

Use a g*n with this arm?

Of course.

[Munju groans]

If you wanna take down
the one who shot you.

That b*stard got lucky.

Which one?

The one who shot you.

Why?

If they had hit your bone…

Then I would've k*lled them.

[alarm blaring]

THE PRESIDENT OF THE
REPUBLIC OF KOREA

This evening, I stand before you to speak
on the many concerns and uncertainties

surrounding the security
of the Korean Peninsula.

It's true, the US
does have suspicions

about the nuclear
submarine from North Korea.

However,

my firm belief is that the US
will not make any decisions

until the existence of their
weapon is fully verified.

You once said, "If you can understand
what the other party wants,

negotiations will
always succeed."

I know what kind of
president you wanted to be.

In the end, I'm sure you'll
choose the path that prevents w*r.

"I CAN PROVE THE
SUBMARINE DOESN'T EXIST"

This is my plan for tonight.

I'm risking everything
with this proposition.

Just let me finish
what I have to say,

and I'll help you step
out of the bunker.

No matter what happens, I'm
going to stay right here.

I will do everything in my power
to stay as close to you as I can,

and I will also protect
peace until the very end.

My great fellow Koreans.

Tonight, we must
protect one another,

and more than ever before,

continue on as you
normally would,

trust the government
and follow our guidance.

That's as far as it will go.

I can't guarantee your safety.

No matter what happens,
I never knew your plan.

I warned you, didn't I?

The Americans don't like you.

Be careful.

[door opens, closes]

My last question.

This couldn't have
been easy for you.

Why put yourself
through all of this?

Because the planned US
attack against North Korea

was predicated on false information
from the very beginning.

What if this leads to w*r
on the Korean Peninsula

costing tens of thousands
of lives, perhaps more,

and in the end, we find no trace
of this supposed submarine?

I need a report on the impact
of this Anderson interview

on the midterm elections
on my desk in three hours.

If we'd attacked
North Korea in 1994,

they wouldn't have a
single nuclear b*mb today.

We missed the same opportunity
in 2006 and again in 2017. Why?

Because we're always
so damn concerned

about some midterm election
six months down the line.

If we eliminate the North
Korean threat today,

America will be thanking
us for g*dd*mn decades!

Where are we going?

Catacomb has a cabin we can use.

I just realized I didn't
plan the next step.

I guess I thought
it was all over.

-[bang]
-[Munju shouts]

[water splashing]

[gasping]

Is it warm?

How long will it
be before I heal?

Three to four weeks.

I won't be able to wash
my hair myself until then?

I'm afraid not.

[Munju] Can you
sh**t with one arm?

[Sanho] Even if you had only one arm
and one leg, you can still sh**t.

Even if you get
shot in the heart,

you'll still have a few
seconds before you die.

What do you think you
should do in that moment?

[Munju] sh**t the
guy who shot me.

[Sanho] This g*n has taken
over 20 lives already.

It understands the human
urge to k*ll the enemy.

[chuckles]

I think this g*n likes me.

I want you…

To become a dangerous
person, Munju.

Never had this before.

In my hometown, people put
bracken in their chicken soup.

You seem to like it.

I haven't eaten this much
in at least ten years.

You must've been
pretty hungry then.

I can always tell
when someone's hungry.

Ten years ago I was
eating a lot of peaches.

I couldn't eat anything else,
my morning sickness was so bad.

I called the baby
Peach because of that.

I don't think I've ever gotten that
full since back when I was pregnant.

Boy or girl?

A boy.

He kicked nonstop.

I thought for sure he
was gonna love soccer.

So…

When I was in that house,
I felt a little relieved

knowing Junik had a
son who liked soccer.

But it's funny, you know?

That woman said she wanted to
take away everything from me, but…

[Munju] I felt like I'd
trade everything I had

just to live in that house.

I never thought I
wanted that in life.

[child] Mom.

[chuckling]

Mom.

["Have Yourself A Merry
Little Christmas" playing]

[reporter] Here's the weather
forecast from the US military…

-[static]
-…for tomorrow.

First up is Seoul.

Tomorrow there'll
be clear skies…

-[radio continues in background]
-We North Koreans

think w*r can break out
at any given moment,

so it wouldn't shock us.

It wouldn't shock me either.

That day at the church,

we were the only
ones undeterred.

While everyone was
running away from death…

[g*nsh*t]

[people screaming]

…you ran toward it.

What were you going to do
if w*r broke out, Sanho?

If a nuclear b*mb were coming,

I'd wanna be with
the person I love.

You said you had family
in the North, right?

Did I keep you from
being with them?

No.

Now I just want to be here.

That b*llet…

I should've taken
it instead of you.

Should I not say
things like this?

I never wanted…

To feel happy again.

[static]

["Have Yourself A Merry
Little Christmas" playing]

We couldn't stop
this w*r after all.

For one last time…

I want you to pretend…

This is just an ordinary day.
