EPISODE 1

OK, today's strategy is, feign right, then go left.

Look left, then kick right. Stare, frown, and then pass...

Kyu-han, you have fast feet and Yoon-gi, you're deft with the ball, so you're on offense.

Suk-jae and Young-ah, you have accurate passes, so protect your areas.

The rest of you, play defense

And coach, you're the cheerleader.

-Cheerleader? -Okay.

Let's give a cheer!

Republic of Korea! Republic of Korea!

Fighting!!!

Fighting!

And what idiotic people left their caution at home?

Come on, don't play dumb.

You should've figured us out the minute we showed up.

Let's make it short.

I hear you're trafficking liquor. Let's see it.

We heard everthing. Let's see them.

You'll just be hit with a heavier sentence if you kid around.

You'll find liquor at bars, and drugs at pharmacy. Men hang around women, and waiters carry booze.

Aren't these basic knowledge?

I don't have time to play word games.

You know the stuff that looks like flour, but you can't make pancakes with? Where is it?

We don't deal in that stuff.

That's right. That's the correct answer.

I was worried you'd repent your ways, and surrender the stuff willingly.

The you'd get a lighter sentence.

And I can't have that.

So don't surrender, okay?

Surrender and you're dead meat.

That punk!

You don't deal in the stuff?

What is this? A free gift with purchase, punks?

Bring it on!

Make a move, and you're dead.

My, we have some very brave detectives here.

Just two men at a drug bust.

You sure you have bullets in your guns?

Even so, count the men you're up against.

-We'd be stupid to come here by ourselves. -What?

In my six years as a detective, this is the first time I've brought a chopper. Want to see?

There!

-Are you sure they're cops? -Yes, sir.

Awesome, aren't they?

Bring it on!

I'm sorry it was a tie.

I was going to treat you to lunch if we won.

Dream on.

I doubt you'll ever get the chance to treat me to a meal.

My, she's really getting on my nerves.

I've closed three savings accounts in order to treat people to meal.

That was a wise move.

Korean banks have terribly low interest rates.

I bet you always had the last words. Just look at those fat lips.

Good morning.

Hi.

Morning.

Hi.

Good morning.

You did a good deed.

I did lots of good deeds. Which one?

The soccer match for the Korean school children.

I heard it was tie against the Japanese. We were on a losing streak for the past three years.

We should've won.

I was going to ask you to teach the kids after I leave.

I have my last class in two days.

All right.

So how does it feel to have completed your term?

It's like I've finally gotten my braces off.

And how does that feel?

Bittersweet.

It was painful when I had them on, but I ended up with straight teeth.

I feel like I got straightened out too.

Where can I get those braces? I need some.

Korean Embassy. Yoon Jae-hee speaking.

Yes, sir!

I'm too healthy.

How about you? I bet you're awfully busy.

Of course I am. I have a big family to support.

My eldest son is doing well?

People might think you have a son hidden away.

I had a ticket sent to you. When will you come back?

I'm tying up loose ends here. I'll be back in no time.

-Hurry. I miss you terribly. -I miss you too.

I have to go. My assistant is begging me to go to the award ceremony.

The Presidential Letter of Commendation? Who won this year?

Name, Choi Sang-hyeon, sir!

Choi Sang-hyeon, sir!

How will you go on dates with that face?

No problem, sir!

Korea is my girlfriend, sir!

That won't do. You have to date a girl.

Your resume proved to be very interesting.

You passed the bar, but you're working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Yes. My girlfriend is a diplomat.

How romantic.

Now that's romance.

Aigoo... everyone's won a Presidential Letter of Commendation in his day.

Yes, all except one person in this room.

Can't the cops keep a secret or what?

Let me at least get a look at it.

Awesome.

Look at these phoenixes.

You should give her a call. Hye-joo will be thrilled.

Let's give him some privacy.

Reporting for duty!

Detective Choi Sang-hyeon was awarded the Presidential Letter of Commendation on the 15th of June.

Hello? Hello?

Hye-joo, are you listening?

Congratulations.

Thanks.

You know something?

You can say the prettiest "congratulations" in the world.

Hello? Hello?

What's wrong with the phone? Hye-joo, can you hear me?

Oppa....

I....

I can hear you now.

Kid.

Are you really coming back in three weeks?

I miss you like crazy.

I'm not going.

I'm not, Oppa.

I'm not going back.

What did you just say?

I'm not going back to Korea.. to you.

-So don't wait for me. -Hye-joo..

Don't look for me please.

Just forget about me.

I'd be grateful if you pretend I'm dead.

Stay healthy.

Something happen to Hye-joo?

There must be another man.

-If that's the case... -Hyung...

What did I tell you?

You worked overtime night after night to support her.

I told you she was no ordinary girl when she went aboard to study with your hard-earned money.

Hyung!

Are you...

Yes, I'm Korean.

I was going to ask if the place was for rent.

Yes, that too. Please come in.

I understand you'll be leaving Prague soon. Please tell us how you'll remember our city.

I sometimes go to the Wishing Wall. I've also made a wish there.

Prague is a magical city.

The marathon for diplomats will take place in a few days. Do you plan to participate?

Will there be a lot of good-looking men?

Magical city.. That was very transparent of you.

I must say, you're more transparent.

I've always wondered if you ever took the diplomat's exam?]

Please let me know if there's any other way to become a diplomat.

I heard that anything is possible in Korea, as long as you have clout.

I thought the President's daughter didn't have to take any tests.

In Japan, we value principles.

Don't pick a fight with me. You can't beat me.

I'm not good at fighting, but I've never lost a fight when our country's reputation depended on it.

Really? I guess the special forces come to your rescue whenever you're cornered?

You're so childish.

Is this an inferiority complex?

Then beat me fair and square.

I can beat you at anything.

You can beat me at anything...

Then...

What about the marathon?

You don't think you can win?

Because your father can't back you up in running?

She's driving me crazy.

Of course not.

You have to run forward to get to the finish line, not backward.

You're not going to hold me responsible even if you fall?

I will. I'll hold you to it.

To what?

To what you said!

If I win, you have to apologize.

To me and to my country.

Fine.

But if I win, you admit

that everything I say about Korea is right.

After all, you're representing Korea.

Fine.

You do know you need a partner?

What?

Someone young and strong who has long legs. He'd be perfect if he had a cute face too.

Thank you.

I'm not kidding. It's a major crisis. Find somebody quick.

You were great at the party today.

Thanks. You were great too.

Here.

I won the money, thanks to you. This is your share.

You won the money because of me?

I bet that you'd enter the marathon. Buy yourself a pair of sneakers.

Help. Please help! This man thinks I'm a hooker.

Come here.

Just come here!

Interpret what I say exactly if you speak the language.

You just talked down to me.

You're a pickpocket, right?

I'm not a pickpocket.

Interpret what I'm saying. Interpret.

By any chance... are you a pickpocket? What? A pickpocket?

Look. I was just minding my business when this yellow man stuck his wallet in my face and propositioned me. He treated me like a prostitute.

Look, he's still holding on to me.

what is she saying?

She said you gave her your wallet and tried to make a deal.

Is this the wallet?

What? You have some nerve.

You treat me like a begger, just because your country is holding a marathon?

Interpret.

You stay out of this. I'm calling the police.

I can't stay out of it.

I have a duty to protect my fellow countrymen I'm Yoon Jae-hee from the Korean Embassy.

You've made a mistake.

No man would give a hooker his wallet with the address of a person he's looking for.

I'm sorry.

What is she saying? Tell me what she's saying.

Let her go if you really don't want to purchase her services. She said she's sorry

What did you tell her to make her apologize?

He couldn't have wanted to purchase your services.

He's into men.

What?

Are you a student?

No.

-A tour guide? -No.

-Stationed here? -No.

-Married to a local? -What?

Just what are you?

It's not common to find a woman who speaks like a native, drives a fancy car,

and is wearing a fancy dress, and holding a bundle of money.

This money is...

-You are, aren't you? -What?

You need help?

No. I know him.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

I couldn't leave with this. Thanks.

You have to win the marathon. I wagered that you'd win.

You are.

What are you talking about?

Do you really want to live like that? You're smearing our country's reputation.

Don't you have parents? What does your father do? Does he know what you're doing?

I'm sure he does.

He told me to take pride in my work and to work hard.

Why are you following me?

You scared me. If you are going to turn around, you should warn me...

Why are you following me?

I'm not following you because I've got the hots for you.

What?

You're the only one in this town who speaks my language.

Tell me where this school is.

Why should I?

Don't you remember the national anthem?

Shouldn't you help your fellow countrymen?

It's 40 minutes if you walk, 20 if you take the subway. 10 if you take a car.

-But the school is closed for vacation. -Closed?

They charge an arm and a leg for tuition. Why such a long break?

I have nothing to do with that.

You'll only waste your time even if you go now. Everyone goes home at five sharp.

Forget the school then.

Tell me where I can find a Korean restaurant. I'm starving.

Korean restaurant? Of course I know where one is.

But I don't want to.

Hey.

"Hey?"

Is this enough?

Enough for what?

For an hour?

I'll hire you for an hour. You said you take pride in your work.

Don't tell me I... for money....

You don't?

I do.

You are a good detective after all.

How did you know I was a detective?

I saw your ID in your wallet.

Why did you look in my wallet?

I wouldn't have helped you if I hadn't seen that.

Forget the money. Just follow me. I have a special offer for detectives this week.

You want to buy souvenirs?

No.

Then let's get going. I'm very busy.

How's the bean paste stew?

I didn't say I'd eat with you.

I didn't say I'd eat with you. I asked "How's their bean paste stew?".

See for yourself.

Order it for me.

I don't offer "ordering" service.

You're here, I was going to call you. I have braised beef for you.

You look so pretty today. Give me a few minutes.

It's.. really all right.

A bottle of soju please

You have to wait anyway. Keep me company.

You were going to say "let me go", right?

So let go.

I will when you sit down.

You're really testing my patience.

I'm usually a very patient and helpful person And most of all,

I wouldn't do anything to bring shame to my parents.

-But you can't take it any longer? -No, I can't.

Do I know you?

Know what my name is? Know how old I am?

How dare you speak down to me from the moment you saw me?

You haven't even thanked me for helping you yet.

If you can't be grateful, at least be sorry.

Thank you.

I mean it. Thanks.

But if you give in so readily and apologize...

I feel bad.

I'm a time bomb ready to go off. I feel like I'm ready to go off any minute.

I was just picking a fight with you. Just...

indulge me for another hour.

We don't have that bottle of soju yet.

You come to Prague often?

No, it's my first time.

I guess everyone likes that color.

Everyone has similar tastes.

By the way, can you point me to a good hotel?

You must be familiar with the hotels... goes with the occupation.

Certainly. I have a regular place I go to. And I have an appointment there anyway.

I'm sure you do.

I'm sorry, but because it's a peak season, all they have available is a suite.

Suite?

Would you rather go to a guesthouse?

It's small, noisy, smelly, full of thieves, and you have to share a bathroom.

And the traffic is a bit congested. But other than that, it's perfect

Don't be like that.

Despite my looks, I was raised like a prince.

Suite...

I'm not biased when it comes to occupations...

The elevator's that way.

Raised like a prince, were you? Yes, you were...

What's so funny?

Hi. You're early. I thought I was early.

The piano player before me was a no-show.

What's so funny?

Oh. nothing.

I thought I'd met an ill-tempered man, but he made me laugh.

You said you have something to say?

I have to move out tomorrow.

And I have to stay another ten days.

You want to move in?

Pardon?

If you don't mind living with someone who can only make spicy ricecakes.

I love spicy ricecakes.

You'll regret saying that when you try them.

Thank you. But let me know whenever I'm intruding on you

Pardon?

That man who made you laugh... I'll give you privacy.

Oh... it's not like that.

Seriously, it's not like that.

But do you realize that you're still laughing?

Ah, yes. I am.

I still don't know your name.

My name is Clara. I don't like my Korean name.

I gave myself that name because I like Brahms. Clara was the love of his life.

She was also Schumann's wife.

You have the right to remain silent,

and the right to an attorney.

Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

Let me ask you one thing.

Do you swear you'll never take this ring off

even once in your lifetime?

What? You choose to exercise your right to remain silent?

I'll ask you again.

Do you swear?

I do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Thank you, Oppa.

I practiced the birthday song for you. Want to hear it?

Yes.

I practiced all night.

-Really? -Watch?

I'll do it again.

I'll play. You sing for me.

"Please let me hear him call my name right here in 5 years."

Not yet?

I'm almost done. Here.

You think they'll come true?

If we want them badly enough.

And what do you wish for so badly?

Keep your curiosity in check.

We'll exchange our photos when we come back here in 5 years.

Why do we have to do that?

Why? Because even wishes need time to mature.

Immature wishes could cause lung cancer and other diseases. It's especially hazardous for pregnant women and children.

I guess I have to come back to find out what your wish is.

Dummy, we have to come back together.

How about lunch?

I have more work to do.

This is a first. You going to lunch on time.

Yeah, it's been ages since I did.

Things will get better when Yoon Jae-hee comes back next week.

Yoon Jae-hee...?

That's right. The daughter of the Blue House. You haven't met her yet?

No, she was sent abroad when I volunteered to work here.

You volunteered? Were you out of your mind?

-I did it so I wouldn't lose my mind. -What?

You'll have to eat lunch alone for a few days.

Why? Are you going somewhere?

To Prague.

I'm very late for an appointment.

I'm checking out.

What's the damage?

860 euros...

Say 1500 won for euro...

What the...

Was she out of her mind?

Just wait till I get my hands on her.

Want to say "thank you"?

You're welcome.

You're doing well.

You've been just fine.

Jae-hee?

Yuki?

What are you doing here?

Probably the same thing as you.

I guess.

Did you find yourself a partner?

Of course.

Just to let you know... you've heard of Hwang Young-jo?

My partner even got the famous marathoner's autograph.

Well, I'd better get going...

I'll be going then.

What did you.....

I have a bad back... I need regular check-ups.

A bad back gives you a cough?

That's what I mean. That's why I need to get it checked out...

Why don't you just tell me you have morning sickness?

Dad?

This is a serious diplomatic matter. Can you send Hwang Young-jo quick?

Why you..

Don't be scared. I got a disconnected number.

What am I going to do?

So why did you get yourself into trouble?

I didn't want to. It was that chest.

That huge chest...

What?

Nothing.

Who's got time on their hands?

Jae-hee, everyone agrees on you.

Of course I should help.

My term is over, but I should help out.

Who needs help?

Did you like your room?

Who do I have here? I've been dying to see you.

Really?

But I'm a bit busy now.

I'll see you later. Make sure we see each other again.

But, what are you doing here?

-I work here. -Work?

What kind of work?

You're delivering coffee?

I make coffee too,...but I usually do more important work.

Diplom.. A diplomat is an extremely high position. If you masquerade as a..

Can't you see that rose of Sharon seal?

Sure it's not just a rose?

Let's say it's just a rose.

But can't you speak in longer sentences?

I'd love to, but I have a short tongue.

Is that right? I do too.

What's your relationship to this person?

You're looking for Kang Hye-joo, right? Who is she to you?

Can you find her?

You're a detective. That's your area of expertise.

She's a suspect in fraud case. Can you find her or not?

I'm really sorry.

For what.

For talking down on you. Since you're a detective, you must be a good runner.

Don't you want to run in a marathon with me? I promise I'll find your suspect.

You don't stretch? You have to stretch.

Come on.

Can I help you?

Yoon Jae-hee isn't here?

Who might you...

I get it.

You're the man who made her laugh, right?

Now I see why she was laughing so much.

But you don't seem to be ill-tempered.

She's not home?

You didn't call her? She's not back from work yet.

I'll come back.

When do you graduate?

This year. I'm in the 34th class.

I plan to open my own practice as soon as I pass the bar.

Why?

I have a pale complexion, so black robes don't... I prefer pastel colors.

And Korean prosecutors don't get any respect anyway.

I'd rather be a lawyer and help the needy.

You're a very noble man so rarely seen in this day and age.

A true "nobles oblige"... that's what I'm striving for.

Don't you want to look in the same direction as me?

Just sitting across from you is overwhelming.

That's what all women say.

They're calling me again.

Excuse me.

You just met him, right?

Yes, but I've known him longer than you.

This may sound strange, but you should leave now.

It does sound strange.

I don't think he's a lawyer.

Either that or he got his year wrong.

I know.

I was just bored.

He started talking to me, just as you are now.

I'm pretending I'm watching a very bad show.

I think I'll just wait for the curtain to drop.

I'm sorry for butting in. Enjoy the show.

Wait.

The show finished earlier than I expected. Because of an uninvited audience.

Did you lose money?

-What? -Pick that up. That's my money.

You're talking down to me.

You do that to me too.

-You're asking for a beating. -You'll have to face the special forces if you so much as touch me.

What kind of cop doesn't even have a picture of his suspect?

You call yourself a detective?

Can you really find her?

I'm meeting the president of a student community. If we can't...

Just tell me if you can find her or not.

She's not a suspect, is she?

She's a girlfriend who dumped you, right?

I was just kidding...

Do you believe in magic?

"Give me a smile when you see me."

There's a wall like this in "Roman Holiday."

One of Gregory Peck's fans who saw the movie, wrote down her wish and put it on this wall.

And the next day, Gregory Peck came to Prague.

That's when people started posting their wishes here.

What about you?

I did it a very long time ago.

Did you get your wish?

Not yet.

Want to give it a try?

I haven't gotten my wish yet, but you might get yours.

"Hye-joo, where are you? Show yourself."

Don't you feel a little better at least?

I do.

I wish you'd feel better until tomorrow.

What?

Tomorrow's the marathon.

Is that right?

I knew it. I have to win. You can do it, right?

I can pass anybody if I tell myself they're a suspect that I'm chasing.

Then you'll be running with 127 thieves tomorrow, okay?

You're making innocent people into thieves so you can win?

Half of them really are thieves.

What?

My dad said that all men are thieves.

With a face like yours, no man will ever try to force his way into your house.

You'd win for sure if you could run with your mouth.

You'll get it if you lose tomorrow.

It's me. Why aren't you coming?

It'll start in less than an hour.

I'll be there soon. Won-joon isn't here yet.

Will you get our numbers for me?

He's here. Won-joon, here!

She was Hye-joo's roommate at the dorm. They were best friends.

-Are they still living together? -I'm not sure.

She's not answering.

Why don't you call her yourself?

She's a local here. Hye-joo didn't hang around with Koreans.

Thank you so much Won-joon. I hope it wasn't too much of a bother.

No problem.

Noona, I hear you're running the marathon today. Good luck. We'll be cheering for you.

I bought a pair of sneakers for you.

Want to see if they fit?

These?

They fit.

If you buy them shoes, they'll run away.

I won't stop you. Just finish the marathon.

That was Hye-joo's friend. She got the message.

She said you can see her if you come now.

Stop the car.

I said, stop the car.

What about the marathon? You promised me.

The marathon isn't important now. I traveled halfway around the world for this.

And I went around Prague more than 10 times for you.

That was good training for your marathon.

How can you say that?

Stop the car.

I can't. I'm not your chauffeur.

And just as she's important to you, this marathon is very important to me.

That's why I helped you.

But the situation won't allow me to go with you. Find someone else if it's so important.

But I can't find someone right now. It vexes me that you're the only person I can count on.

Don't be a baby about this.

You were the one whining, demanding that I find your girlfriend. You can't find someone who's hiding from you.

If she's hiding, it means she doesn't want to see you.

- Hey! - What?

Stop the car right now!

Look, Mr. Choi Sang-hyeon!

Mr. Choi Sang-hyeon.

I don't have much time.

And you think I had nothing better to do than to help you find her?

That's enough.

I'll find her for you.

Just run the marathon. Keep your promise.

Don't be so fussy.

-What's so important about that stupid marathon? -It's important to me!

It's stupid to you, but it's a hundred times more important to me than your runaway girlfriend.

Hey Yoon Jae-hee!!

I didn't buy you those sneakers so that you could run away in them.

Take them off before you go. Go barefoot!

You can't go like that.

Then what?

You should take her number.

She said she'd call me back. And it won't be easy to find a pay phone.

I'll find one. Just give me the number.

I'm not expecting any calls. Just take the phone.

Take a taxi to Wenceslas Square. Then find your way to the currency exchange booth.

Here.
