Jung-hyuk arrives on the scene just in time to fabricate a whole story about how Se-ri is his fiancee, and a secret North Korean agent returned recently from a long placement in the south. Se-ri reinforces this by heavily acting the part. (We Both Reached for the Gun – from Chicago):
Understandable, understandable
Yes it’s perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, Comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It’s so defensible…
The ladies of the North Korean outpost decide to “drop by” Jung hyuk’s and Se-ri plays up her newfound secret agent identity. (Secret Agent Man – Johnny Rivers):
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow…
Back in Pyonyang, DAN arrives back home from her time abroad. She unknowingly bumps into SEUNG-JOON, who takes notice of how gorgeous she is. (Short Skirt, Long Jacket – Cake):
I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends…
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket…
Meanwhile, Lt. Jo meets with his informant Man-bok, letting him know that his services will, again, be needed. (Rumour Has It – Adele):
You and I have history
Or don’t you remember…
While Se-ri fends off the women of the North Korean town, Jung-hyuk convenes with his men to finalize her escape plan – and also learns about an interesting tactic to be used to avert crises. (Kiss the Girl – from The Little Mermaid):
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don’t got a lot to say
But there’s something about her…
Man-bok has started listening in to what’s going on at Jung-hyuk’s house, finding the discussion a little difficult to follow. (I Heard it through the Grapevine – Marvin Gaye):
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’tcha know that I heard it through the grapevine…
Back in South Korea, Se-ri’s father is being dogged by his other children to choose a new successor – her brothers and their wives chomping at the bit. (Stuck in the Middle with You – Stealers Wheel):
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle…
On the eve of her departure, Se-ri decides to give the men of fifth company some special awards. The mood is high since everyone seems to be getting what they want – i.e. Se-ri going back to South Korea in one piece. (We are the Champions – Queen):
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through…
As Jung-hyuk drives Se-ri to the boat to meet her escape route, everyone suddenly realizes that Se-ri’s short visit did have quite an impact on them – including Jung-hyuk and Se-ri, who finally exchange names. (Go Now – Bessie Banks):
We’ve already said good bye
Since you’ve got to go, oh you’d better go now
Go now go now…
Unfortunately, as their fishing boat makes its way to the rendez-vous, a police ship pulls them over. Jung-hyuk in a panic, decides to do what every self-respecting South Korean drama male lead would do in order to avert a crisis – to Se-ri’s complete surprise! (Kiss the Girl – from The Little Mermaid [REPRISE]):
Now’s your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better…
BONUS EPILOGUE: Jung-hyuk, alone on centre stage, performs a heart-wrenching solo ballet. (La Valse d’Amelie – Yann Tiersen)
