EPISODE 7
Here.
-See how it tastes. -Sure.
How is it?
It's so good.
Perfection.
Enjoy your meal.
I found school and telling lies to be so easy.
It was fun to learn about the new world and to fool other people.
You can't compete against someone who derives joy from what they do.
The lies I fabricated
were for my own satisfaction and enjoyment.
But after meeting my wife,
I learned that my lies could
give satisfaction to someone other than myself.
In fact, it was even more satisfying.
Honey, do I look fat?
Oh, no.
That's made of wool so it shrunk in the washer.
You think so?
No wonder.
Oh, my gosh. My pimple got bigger.
I look like a comic book character.
Marilyn Monroe had a mole.
You look like her right now.
People say my smile is like hers.
Sometimes, I get the urge
to reveal who I really am to her.
I'm actually a spy.
I'm a spy!
What did you say?
Could I have a fruit shake too?
Just give me a minute.
Eventually, she will find out
about my secret.
But it doesn't worry me.
Because I believe that our marriage
will be strong enough to withstand it by then.
My lie won't break our marriage because she loves me.
She'll forgive me for not telling her.
I keep telling myself that.
But maybe I was mistaken.
That's what came to my mind today.
It's not dangerous,
but you have to be careful.
Maybe Derek isn't coming here today.
I'll get going.
For the first time, I got scared.
I felt that my secret could
put her in danger.
I'm very fearful now.
What brings you here?
Your wife brought a package.
A package?
It was delivered to our house.
Let me treat you to a nice dinner for delivering this.
-Let's go. -Not yet.
I'd like to look around the place. It's been a while since my last visit.
You said you didn't like how the place smelled.
I did say that.
It smells all right today.
Is this gasoline that I'm smelling?
I think you have a roundworm infection.
You need to take some anthelmintics.
And roundworms can spread from person to person.
I should take some as well.
What is that?
Oh, that? That's where we do paintwork.
So that's what I was smelling.
Is it something I can't see?
It's a secret?
Well, it's like this.
It's bad luck for the groom
to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding.
The same goes for looking at a car before it's restored.
Is it bad luck for me or the car?
For both.
The car club members are coming soon.
Let's go to a nice restaurant.
I'm hungry.
I'll come back to see it when you finish the restoration.
Your baseball cap looks cool.
What do you want to have?
We're going to take the anthelmintic later anyway.
Then let's eat something that roundworms like.
It'll be their last supper.
Isn't that too generous?
Could I reserve a table for two?
-Give me a second. -Okay.
Get in first.
Could it be him?
I should tell Ji-hun.
If he is actually Tinker...
And if...
he is working together with Derek...
You little punk.
What were you doing here?
Why aren't you answering the phone?
Go help out Seo-ra.
6 MISSED CALLS. YOUNG-GU Okay.
Did you find anything in the dashcam footage?
Nothing special.
Nothing at all?
Yes.
Hurry then.
But...
DONGPOOMLOO
What now?
Come on.
Oh, gosh.
It broke again.
I have to fix it with my own money again.
I asked for a new one, but this is what they gave me.
Goodness. I've got to be calm.
He didn't see me.
Okay. I wasn't seen.
Okay.
Why is mahjong so hard to play?
I'm not getting better at it.
Mahjong is...
Fa.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Doo-bong, your name is supposed to be French, right?
Years ago, I stayed in Quebec, Canada for a while.
And the people there thought I was half-French.
Jean Debon.
I get it. You do look French.
His name means "head peak".
First grandson of his Andong Jang clan.
-Dong. -Bang.
Pil-ho.
So your Korean name is "Pil-ho," Peter?
His name means "certainly good".
That's also his personality.
You're a positive person.
Then you two met in Canada, I suppose?
No, he studied in America.
He's a member of the New York Bar.
Modronet Acronis Kuvat.
I have one too. A limited edition.
I need to pick it up at the repair shop next week.
Hey, Peter.
You said you couldn't get it repaired.
They're filling an order from the Swiss royal family.
So they're not accepting repair requests.
But I could get an appointment.
He loves fountain pens.
When he sees the tip of the pen, he'll start trembling.
You can't fight the urge to stab it on something. Right?
He's a pervert.
Could you pull some strings for him?
No matter how hard I try, I'm not getting better at mahjong.
Seven cracks.
I'll take it.
-Dong wind. -Bang.
I can pull some strings.
Seven circles.
Chi.
I'll take it.
I'll ask the shop to repair yours.
Two circles.
Seven circles.
Chi.
I'll take it.
Nine circles.
I seem to be lucky today.
How about we do this? Pil-ho...
Oh, I meant Peter.
Call me when you have a moment.
I'll talk to the owner of Mont Beus.
Jenny.
I have it.
Your phone number, that is.
Oh, that's right.
Eight circles.
Bang.
-Four pairs. -Jenny is going to help you, buddy.
You sure about that?
Six cracks.
Did I just win?
Jenny, it's your lucky night.
-So lucky. -Oh, my.
I think I'm on a roll.
I can't hear anything.
What is she doing? She's not answering her phone either.
Cash loans. Immediate approval. Call 09 CAPITAL for cash.
Thank you. It's all mine.
I need to use the restroom. Excuse me.
And I'll let you have the rest.
-She's your type. -I know.
-Don't date her. -Pil-ho.
Are you qualified to give dating advice?
You do or don’t?
Do you see any legal issues with her?
It's not about the law.
She lives outside of the law. It's how she is.
You're also a face reader now?
If you date her,
one of you will see blood.
Hey. What do you take her for?
Where are you?
I'm on the first floor.
Come upstairs.
Are you alone?
RESTROOMS ON THE 2ND FLOOR
-This way, please. -I need to use the restroom.
I can't hear anything from your listening device.
Is everything okay?
Everything was okay until you called.
Hey. Leave.
I was about to leave anyway.
But Pil-ho.
Your arrogant boss who annoys me.
I don't like his English name.
I heard he saved someone in Jeju.
You mean, Derek?
The night before Dr. Ahn was killed,
a professional came to pick up a gun.
He was sent by Derek.
Who is your source?
There are only a few gun smugglers in Jeju, you know.
Hey, hey.
I couldn't tell you about this at the time.
I knew you had feelings for her.
Derek didn't want you to know
for your sake.
Come out later.
Big brother.
Peter.
Peter?
Jenny, where are you going? Our food is ready.
I think Peter is leaving.
He's busy.
We're not finished playing mahjong.
So come back inside before it gets boring.
DONGPOOMLOO
QUICK SERVICE
You ordered jokbal, right?
I'm by the main door.
Okay.
What am I suspecting?
He's the owner of this garage.
Oh, you're Tinker.
Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you.
He disassembled my engine in LA. And now he's here.
A lot of famous US companies were started in garages I heard.
He was a student renting a room at our house.
Then he became like a second son in the family.
You're alike in some ways. Your looks.
We do?
Do you like cars?
Not really.
It's Derek's hobby, but I'm not really into it.
I respect his personal interests.
So Derek says he slept here when he was single.
But I hope you'll send him home.
Let me tell you about this car.
This car was commissioned by Hitler during World War II.
For 50 years, the design never changed.
When I visited Germany, I bought one as soon as I saw it.
I bought the wheels in Brazil last week.
They got delivered yesterday.
The steering wheel is from China.
And the gear shift is of my own design.
I made it myself.
It's a cute car design while also having classic styling.
It still looks great today. That's quite a feat.
They spent a lot of time together.
When they needed car parts, they would travel together abroad.
But it's not really friendship. Derek seems to be the boss.
They're not friends or brothers.
Yes. Did you hear anything from Peter?
Was everything cool with you and Ah-reum earlier?
No, she hasn't said anything.
Okay.
Yes.
Peter is following Interpol activities.
And the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hasn't made a move.
I'm concerned about Derek's wife though.
SEARCHING DATABASE, BAEK PIL-HO
BAEK PIL-HO
That's the guy? BAEK PIL-HO
He went to a good college and has great experience.
His parents must have worked long and hard to pay for his US college tuition.
The law firm he worked for in Singapore for the last few years
isn't one of the major ones.
It was probably a cover for his activities.
What is he like?
He was actually a friend of Doo-bong.
I dangled a bait and he bit it.
He loves fountain pens, so I struck a conversation with him.
He'll be visiting Mont Beus soon.
So I need you to set up a web.
-Mont Beus? -What is that?
It's a fountain pen brand.
Pil-ho received a scholarship from the same foundation
where Dr. Ahn got her scholarship.
The Pieta Foundation.
PIETA FOUNDATION The Pieta Foundation.
PIETA FOUNDATION
BAEK PIL-HO, PIETA FOUNDATION
The Pieta Foundation? BAEK PIL-HO, PIETA FOUNDATION
The Pieta Foundation?
-Seo-ra. Look into that. -Okay.
The Foreign Affairs division is doing a stake-out,
so Ji-hun will cover Peter.
Seo-ra will keep marking Doo-bong.
Young-gu, did you find the killer?
I went through the guest list to cross-examine them...
I haven't found a match.
Ji-hun, did you not give the dashcam footage to Young-gu?
I did.
Look for it again.
My instincts tell me
that Helmes has used up five of its nine lives.
So who is next to inflict another blow?
If we don't do it first,
everyone here will be looking for new jobs.
And Young-gu will probably head to grad school.
No, sir. I don't want to go to grad school. I'll find the killer.
Look at Ji-hun. He already found a new job.
QUICK SERVICE Look at those broad shoulders.
What a worker.
I'll use your courier service.
AREUMDAUN DRESS
-Tada! -You surprised me.
Hello Mr. Ma.
Yes, Ms. Kang.
I'll drive your car safely and fill up the tank.
When I'm done, I'll park it in this very spot.

THIS POST IS HIDDEN
Regular members do not have access.
It's very secretive
and meticulous.
Hello.
It seems to be a place where secret deals are made.
I wonder what's inside.
Have you not found the password for the security program yet?
You placed first in a Silicon Valley hacking contest.
I hired a chess player who beat an AI opponent.
But you can't do this?
The system uses a biometric security program
that Dr. Ahn configured herself.
Dr. Ahn was our top security officer. But now she's dead.
So who does that benefit?
We spent 20 years on this project, working day and night.
The Americans are about to get their hands on her research soon.
If we don't find it by next month,
the American's top security officer will obtain it.
They're counting the days until that happens. It'll be a bonanza.
But the National Intelligence Service doesn't approve.
If the six-nation pact collapses, will they help?
We talked to Interpol already.
So we just need to focus on our job.
We have to change Dr. Ahn's administrative settings.
I've been trying to contact a North Korean hacker
who planted a virus in the White House's computer system.
Whoever he is, find the guy.
Stake-outs are hard. I'm tired.
I need something to munch on.
Something sweet.
No candy anywhere?
I understand why American cops eat donuts.
What is she doing in that car?
Now it's time to tail the car.
And I'm a great driver.
JUNKYARD
Sir.
-Hello. -Hey.
The ball bearings you asked for didn't come in yet.
It's an old model. I didn't get a reply from Dubai.
-Can I take a look at this car? -Sure. Have a look.
-Can you lift it a bit? -Just a little?
All right.
This is the car I saw.
What is Ah-reum doing? She's putting herself in danger.
NO SD CARD INSERTED. INSERT SD CARD
Hey! I found a door axle.
You found one?
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY SECURITY DIVISION
SOPHIE AHN
It's not dangerous but you have to be careful.
Why is it the one that's the closest to Derek?
SUSPECT 3, GUARD AT SOPHIE'S DORM?
COURIER HAS ARRIVED.
Why aren't you answering my texts?
I was busy with work.
You were here?
Of course. Why do you ask?
What's so urgent?
Tell me.
I have dashcam footage from a car that was near the murder scene.
Want to have a look?
I wouldn't know what to look at.
You might be able to identify someone.
Identify someone?
I think he knows something.
Ah-reum, tell me what you have found out.
Ah-reum.
Ah-reum!
I told her to stay put. Where is she?
She's not doing her job.
What?
Ms. Yoon!
Have you seen Ah-reum?
She didn't come to work yet.
No, I saw her here.
I told her to stay put.
She's acting strange lately.
Why aren't you telling me the truth?
Tell me what you've found out.
I can't.
Is it because of Derek?
I can help you only if you tell me what you know.
What have you found out?
It scares me.
I'm afraid of finding out more truths.
What will I end up finding?
Come out a little later.
Call me if anything happens.
Or if you think you're in danger.
I'm always nearby.
Go now.
Did you find out anything?
This was taken around the time she was killed.
Where did you get this?
From a car owner who was in an accident at that hour.
I think it was edited.
See. The blue balloon here...
Now look.
That can't happen so fast.
You see a bunch of yellow balloons now.
I think the video was spliced.
Sir, you know the dashcam footage we got, is this it?
Honey.
Honey?
If we don't find it by next month,
the American's top security officer will obtain it.
If the six-nation pact collapses, will they help?
We talked to Interpol already.
So we just need to focus on our job.
I've been trying to contact a North Korean hacker
who planted a virus in the White House's computer system.
Whoever he is, find the guy.
Hello.
Your wife's ex-husband is here.
I was in Cuba and saw beautiful classic cars there.
You've been to Cuba?
My third book was on Cuba.
Che Guevara, star of the Cuban Revolution.
You're a cool, young man.
Hi, there.
We meet again.
I heard that you hang out here.
You've been asking people about me?
Everyone wanted to talk.
What did they say about me?
I thought you were only interested in motorcycles.
Since I moved here, I'm thinking about buying a car.
How much does this cost?
These cars aren't commuter cars.
I know.
This is a car rental subscription service.
So you take care of the cars for members.
What else?
Sharing is caring.
Yes. Sharing is caring.
Classic cars never go out of style.
They don't make them like they used to.
Old cars aren't always the answer.
Reupholstering it makes it new.
We change the whole interior.
In some ways, it's better than people.
And you have something brand new.
What is that?
Hey.
-Don't touch it. -Oh, it's a special one.
Don’t touch it.
Now you've got my attention.
It's better that you not see it.
Why not? What happens if I do?
Will it hurt?
It won't end with a little pain.
In that case...
You don't seem to know what color your wife likes yet.
Don't touch it, you jerk.
Nice accent.
Why are you here?
To see this.
This is exciting.
Nothing beats a fight.
Go on.
What? Punch him.
Who was winning?
-Hello. -Hi.
I haven't seen you before.
Hello, sir.
Do you know me?
You're Mr. Kim Dong-taek.
Yes. Where did we meet?
I saw you on the news.
In the business section and tabloids.
Sometimes, you appear in all the sections.
Did that happen?
-Please, let's go into my office. -Wait.
You should introduce us.
What is this?
He's so shy.
How do you know Derek?
I've never seen you get this irritated before.
-Hey. -What?
How do you know him?
He owes you money? A love triangle?
You two are in a relationship?
Am I right?
What is it? Is it for real?
You're dating?
He's Derek's wife's ex.
Oh, the dress designer?
I remember that it was her second marriage.
Hold on. You were going to fight with your bare fists?
That's not proper.
Tinker, bring some blunt tools.
You've got heavy stuff here.
We weren't fighting or anything.
Things are cool between us. We even had dinner together.
When people say that,
I don't believe it.
Ji-hun, let's talk some other time.
That reaction.
That's not cool.
Cute guy.
He didn't pull back when he touched his hair.
That's a very sensitive spot.
Stop acting cool.
Does he have power over Derek?
I looked at all the cars,
so I guess I'll get going.
It was an honor to meet you.
Don't mention it.
Don't fight. You're grownups.
I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for the tour.
See you later.
I'll come back to check that car.
See you later.
I'm the one who should be upset.
What a piece of garbage.
A suspicious jerk with a drug addict. What a great team.
I'll find out what you guys are up to in no time.
"A leading technology"
SOUTH KOREA'S SUCCESSFUL TBU TEST! "that the world is praising."
TBU: NUCLEAR FUSION ENERGY EXCHANGER TEST DEVICE
According to my plan,
I was supposed to have that in my hands
and be showing it off in Japan.
I'm reading this headline now instead.
I didn't fork over money for this.
It's a paid article.
Because Dr. Ahn is dead,
other countries are trying to claim the lead.
So what?
My half-sister is having her wedding in a month.
Either get rid of her
or put me in the news to show off our technology.
Darn it.
I'm in a meeting.
The painting arrived?
Okay.
I'm sorry,
but let's talk tomorrow.
Hey.
There is no time. Hey!
He's taking the painting?
What a scumbag.
Plant a bug on the painting.
I want to listen in on what goes on.
You have it?
Put it in the car.
Dong-taek.
Who is it?
What on earth?
You're usually partying at this hour.
What brings you to the office?
Is there something urgent?
No, nothing urgent.
Did you come to deliver something?
You're busy fetching fresh vegetables and fresh milk for dad, right?
You have a hard life being born as an illegitimate child.
Keep up the hard work, my little sister.
What do you think you're doing? You wench!
So cute.
-Cover it. -Look at how cute he's acting.
He auctioned off his painting but he's taking it back.
He paid the reporters to write about his donation.
I don't know what you're saying.
Let me give you some advice. Get a new psychiatrist.
You're showing signs of having a histrionic personality disorder.
What does that even mean?
You like acting. You adore attention.
Attention?
Yes, you crave attention.
That's your disorder. You attention-seeker.
You pay a psychiatrist to get that diagnosis?
All right.
You're trying to get attention from someone who has an attention disorder.
I was going to tell you this.
Say it.
I heard you invited your mother to your wedding.
What's wrong about that? She's my mother.
So I told Dad about it.
What?
You can't do what's not allowed.
Dad says he'll send your mom to a trip to Brunei on your wedding day.
-You're so mean. -That's who I am.
Don't get cocky.
Why you...
I know your moves.
I know how you punch.
-You don't know anything. You don't know. -Don't.
I'll grab your hair.
I'll pull your hair out.
Why you...
Let go.
Hey, when I was seven, I already had a higher score.
Dong-taek!
Get a medical examination paper.
Honey?
Isn't it warm?
You're suffering a lot.
Oh, my. What is this?
What is all of this?
Where were you?
You turned all the lights on.
You came and then left again?
I had to meet someone.
Who?
Could you leave my room?
I remember this coldness.
When the person closest to you
feels like a stranger.
It feels like
the thickest wall in the world
is blocking him from me.
Issues in marriage...
I mean, a marital issue
forces you to live
with the problem while you're together.
Let's take a break.
Tell me if you're tired.
I'm not tired.
You look tired.
Honey.
You were upset yesterday, weren't you?
No. Why?
You can be honest with me.
I wasn't upset.
Now we'll ask you both a question.
What would you like to write down on the wedding anniversary cake?
I will always love you.
My gosh. It's so sweet.
It almost gave me goosebumps.
What about you, Ah-reum?
Let's be a truthful couple.
Is that some kind of commandment?
Bring us the piping bag here.
We'll take a few more pictures.
Okay.

KIM DONG-TAEK
So Dong-taek... KIM DONG-TAEK
He's the drug addict.
You're the investor.
And the mysterious guy is your operations guy.
And...
The arrogant guy is...
It's so sweet.
His smile is so...
For the first time,
I think he might be pretending to be sweet.
I'm suspicious.
Like this cake,
he's covered sweetly on the outside.
So I don't know what he's like inside.
I'm curious to know.
He's always sweet to me.
If I take off this cream icing,
what will he be like?
That arrogant guy is...
Who are you?
Kang Ah-reum.
Who have you married?
A man is not like a cake.
No man can always be sweet like him.
I know that much.
What are you doing?
How much bitterness are you hiding from me?
Is it too bitter for me to swallow?
-What do you think you're doing? -Try it yourself.
Be honest.
Will you?
Ah-reum.
Mom, if you keep working like that, you'll collapse.
You didn't take your meds, did you?
I took my meds and ate my meals.
I did all that but I still got sick. I feel like dying.
You can't say that as a patient.
I brought a towel, slippers, and tissue.
-This is the caregiver's number. -Okay.
Doo-lae, you're a lifesaver.
But this is a special suite. Did your husband reserve this?
Move me to a common patient room.
Where is Derek right now?
He's talking to your doctor.
Hand me a mirror.
I need to put on some makeup.
Mother. How are you feeling?
I feel so sorry for this.
Don't say this.
I was so worried when I heard it.
Are you feeling okay now?
This happens regularly.
But I've never felt so cared for like this before.
You're so dependable.
You said I was your lifesaver.
A woman needs a husband.
Whenever I visit the hospital before
and saw Ah-reum all alone...
I'm with her now.
Honey. You said you had to go to the office.
-Right. -You should go.
You have important work.
You should. I'll stay here with Ah-reum.
So don't worry.
Thank you, Doo-lae.
Please take care of her.
Mother, I'll be here in the morning.
Oh, no. Focus on your work.
You have a job.
You can go.
Thank you.
Ah-reum. We'll need a humidifier.
What else do we need?
I'll go bring one from my home.
Ah-reum, could you also get me a heat pack?
Okay, Mom.
-I'll be back. -Okay.
Eat something and take a nap.
-Ji-hun. -What?
James Bond never did stakeouts.
He's a fake. He only cares about wearing a suit.
I'll go get something to eat.
Okay. Go.
He said he was going to the office.
THE SPIES WHO LOVED ME
If you want to catch a hunting dog,
then you have to use the right bait.
I have something to tell you about Sophie's murder.
Help me.
The genius North Korean hacker who hacked the White House servers.
I told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs we got it, so find it quickly.
You're the Daedong River Skipping Stone?
I can change the administrative settings
configured by the dead scientist.
Give it to us before you hand it over to Interpol. That's the condition.
Wait for me. I'll go to you after this is done.
Derek, what have you been doing behind my back?
