[sizzling]

Here we go, Mr Park.

So, we have dae ji gogi�

�galbi�

�rice�

�and more rice�

�and extra rice.

Gamsa hamnida!

[Responds In Korean] Gamsa Hamnida!

This reminds me�

what do you call a cow with no front legs?

Here we go.

Lean beef!

Lean beef is correct!

You're so clever, maknae! [chuckles]

She's your mother, she has to say that.

Uh� Hwanchi? Ah. We seem to be missing the kkakdugi.

Oh, bad news. Apparently there's a radish shortage.

[chopsticks clack]

Gee!

Well�that stinks.

Ah, you know what didn't stink?

Our first kiss. Exactly 9,999 kisses ago.

- Eww! - Gross.

- Joon, are you still counting? - Of course! Aren't you?

Uh� Hwanchi? Quick, take a picture, please.

Kids, quickly, get in the picture. It's your parents' 10,000th kiss!

[groans]

I wanna disappear.

I want our parents to disappear.

OK, kids, say kim-chi!

[both] Kim-chi. [camera shutter clicks]

[alarm rings]

? The sun is waking up ?

? The birds are out to play ?

? It's a lovely start ?

? Of a brand-new day ?

? There's singing in the streets ?

? The magic in the air ?

? Now it's time to have a look ?

? At what I'm going to wear! ?

[alarm blares]

[grunts]

[crashes]

[birds twitter]

[snores]

? Now it's time to have a look ?

? At what I'm going to wear ?

Min! Stop singing!

[birds twitter]

[snores]

[alarm blares]

Shut up! [distorts]

[sighs]

[birds twitter]

[moans]

Eomma, Yu Na stole one of my ties!

Eomma, Min is annoying!

Eomma, why didn't you give me a brother?

Eomma, is it too late to give mine back?

[both] Eomma?

[both] What is this?!

Seriously?

Yu Na, Eomma doesn't feed us pancakes for breakfast.

Or doughnuts.

Or bacon!

Or�

[sniffs]

Are you kidding me?! Is this what maple syrup smells like?!

- Maybe Appa did this. - Maybe Appa did this?

There's no rice.

Plus they wouldn't set all this up and then just disappear.

They've probably just gone early to the hardware store.

Unless�

Whatever you're about to say, you're wrong.

�I made them disappear!

Oh, my�

I literally said I wanted them to disappear last night.

Coincidence?

Yes. You're not a wizard.

And they left a note.

"Morning, my darlings. We've had to run out.

Keep safe until we return.

Trust no-one and act normal.

Love, Eomma and Appa."

Is that even for us?

Maybe it's for some other darlings.

"PS, whatever you do, Yu Na and Min Soo,

do not let anyone know we're gone."

Oh, no! We're the darlings?!

I'm calling Eomma.

"PSS, feed the dog."

Wait, dog? What dog?

- [dog whines] - Probably that one.

We have a dog?!

[groans]

His name's Ludwig!

Cool.

So you're just going to eat breakfast at a time like this?

At breakfast time? Yeah, weird.

Eomma said they had to run out.

Eomma also said to keep safe, trust no-one, act normal, feed the dog,

and now there's every single breakfast food on our table!

Something's not right.

[sighs] What are you worried about?

Eomma and Appa are boring, middle-aged Korean parents

who probably got up early to go to a boring

middle-aged Korean parents' convention.

- Is that a thing? - Probably.

All we have to do is act normal for a day. You can do that, right?

I can act anything with the proper cue!

[upbeat trumpet music sting]

Well, go ahead then.

People usually say, "Action!"

but I can work with, "Well, go ahead then."

Lunch is normal.

Backpacks are normal.

Going to school is normal.

Wait, what are you doing?

This.

It's my new normal.

- [knife throw] - Bye.

OK, Park Min Soo, you can do this.

Just act normal.

What are you doing with your hands, Min?

That's not normal, Min.

Neither is talking to yourself, Min.

Stop calling yourself Min!

- Min! - Who are you talking to?

Me.

I'm�rehearsing for a thing.

Ooh! A thing!

That sounds amazing.

Can I do lights? Just please not ticket sales.

What?

Nothing.

OK.

OMG, you are relentless!

Quick! Ohh!

Look, you guys, there is no thing.

My parents are missing,

and I'm supposed to pretend like they're not and act normal,

but it's impossible!

Have you smelled maple syrup?

[bell ring]

I wanna drink it.

This is the main hallway.

It is here that you can really feel�

[student argue] �the spirit of the school.

Mm, I think I can smell it too.

[boy] No, Talgat!

Talgat Foster! This is not a wrestling ring!

That's our star wrestler.

He can be a bit of a handful and a bit in your face.

I don't know!

I've heard of boring, middle-aged parents

and I've heard of Korean conventions.

I've just never heard of a boring, middle-aged

Korean parents' convention.

Look, it's Principal Singhal.

[whooshing]

Hello, Principal Singhal.

Raph.

Min.

Allegra.

Did you just come out of the janitor's closet?

This is not normal, Ms Waters.

What� Yes.

And it is totally normal

because that is where we have our before-school meetings.

Hey, look! A box!

[upbeat whimsical music]

What just happened?

Oh, Min's trapped in a box.

How imaginative!

I got him a book on miming for Best Friends Day.

Great gift! He's really very good.

- Oh, boy. - Now what's happening?

There's distress in his eyes. I'll take it from here.

Min, I'm the new school Counsellor.

Are you OK?

I don't think he's read chapter four yet, "How To Exit Your Box".

Min! Go out the window.

It must have a window, right?

There must be. All imaginary boxes have windows.

Yeah. But "How To Open Your Window" is chapter five.

Argh!

Stupid locker.

He's very good.

[rock music plays]

- [music stops] - [record scratch]

[sighs] Why isn't this more fun?

[blips]

Why didn't you tell me your parents were gone?

I totally would've wagged school with you.

- I can't believe Min told you. - Allegra did.

I can't believe you didn't.

I was just about to text you.

Can you sneak out? It's so fun home alone.

Impossible. Were getting our new geography partners today.

Oh, good. I won't get stuck with that nitwit Talgat.

- Anything else I'm missing? - Nope. Same old, same old.

[phone rings]

Except there's a new school Counsellor and that's probably her.

What? Why would she be calling me?

I forgot to tell you. Min was miming and knocked himself out.

Again?

[rock music playing]

It is so nice to meet you, Mrs Park.

I'm sorry it took an aggressive locker to make it happen.

[chuckles]

Min Soo has always been very clumsy and attention-seeking and annoying.

And there he is! Min Soo, let's go.

Mrs Park, have you done something to your hair?

You look different

or taller or so much younger�

Nope, same old Soo-jin Park, but new face cream.

That's some really good face cream.

Yeah.

I'm sorry,

but shouldn't all students who haven't hit their faces on lockers

be somewhere else right now?

Talgat Foster! Mural time over. Get to class!

- But, sir� - Ooh, that sounds like backtalk.

- I'll leave you to it. - Ooh!

- [chuckles] - Bye now!

[chuckles] Oh!

Ahh.

I really need to get some of that face cream.

- You had one job. - Sorry! Being normal is hard!

You know what's not hard? Believable jowls.

I don't wear make-up, so cut me some slack, OK?

I just did.

Don't look now, but I think were being followed.

I said don't look!

If you don't want me to look, don't say "don't look."

What should we do? We can't speak to him.

[suspenseful music playing]

Can I help you?

What? Me? No� No. The Chicken and the Egg.

Oh, you wanna buy chicken and eggs?

The nearest grocery store is about five blocks that way,

left at the roundabout. I don't need a grocery store.

Well, if you take a right at the roundabout, there's a butcher.

Not sure he carries eggs, though.

Not eggs, Egg. The Chicken and The Egg.

One chicken, one egg. Got it.

What don't you understand about "Trust no-one, Mum?"

Enjoy your chicken egg!

[mysterious music playing]

I don't think he was following us.

Do you want me to ask him?

[dramatic music playing]

Hey, Walter, here's the deal.

The water, the light, the talking?

That's all me.

All you gotta do is grow, dude.

Hey, Mr Potts.

Hey, Yu Na! What's up?

That's a very good question.

Hey, Min, my man! Say hello to Walter!

Hi, Walter!

He said hi.

This is why we can't trust anyone.

It's OK. I think we lost him.

He doesn't look lost!

How are you not lost?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

That's exactly what someone who is about to hurt us would say.

I'm after the Chicken and the Egg.

I've never seen those people before in my life.

Especially that sweet maternal-looking lady,

who I had no idea owned a black turtleneck.

Argh!

Run!

- [smashes] - [grunts]

[suspenseful music playing]

[gun loading]

Leave us alone or else.

He just turned off our 'or else'!

- Run! - Can't.

[mellow music playing]

Bird, Min Soo.

[swoosh][crack]

Bird, Min.

- [clangs] - Ow!

- Yes! - What's that for?!

What are you doing now?

Coach says were not allowed to talk when we wrestle.

Wrestle? I don't want to wrestle.

Should have thought of that

before she tucked her skirt into her shorts!

What?

[punches]

[groans]

A-a-a-a-a-a-rgh!

[grunts]

The Chicken looks great in all black. Or is she the Egg?

Sorry, Mr Potts. We made a little mess in aisle two.

Leave it with me and Walter.

Thanks! See ya, Walter!

[mysterious music playing]

What do we think?

- [loud crunch] - [Ludwig whimpers]

- [chews] - Apple?

I'm starting to think our parents

didn't go to a boring, middle-aged Korean parents' convention.

Or maybe that weird guy's an alien and he wants to abduct them.

Or maybe he's a zombie and he wants to eat their brains!

Or maybe he's a librarian

and he's just mad that no-one else can check out this best-seller.

Actually, I think your parents are spies,

and so was that weird guy.

You think our parents are spies?

Joon and Soo-jin Park?!

[others laugh]

Ooh! Mum and Dad - spies!

That is so funny�

Don't touch the�

[gasps]

�vase!

Do I still have eyebrows?

Sure.

OMG, our parents are spies!

Stop. We don't know that for sure.

Maybe they didn't know this vase could�slice apples in half.

It's just one vase.

Real-life spies usually have heaps of spy gadgets in their house.

Fake movie spies do too.

OK, then let's break into two teams and search the house.

If you find more laser vases, they're spies, like Raph said.

And if we don't, just fluke.

[Ludwig whimpers]

[suspenseful music playing]

[ding!]

[speaks inaudibly]

- What'd you find? - Nothing.

Just a very soothing ginseng face mask.

- Pretty! - Did you guys find anything?

Nope. And not one of the 20 shoes by the door was a phone,

if anyone was wondering.

I guess it was a fluke then.

[blip!]

[whirring]

Nope. Still spies.

- [electronic beep] - [door swooshing]

[tense music playing]

Maybe our parents don't know about the hidden button?

I think they know.

Our parents are spies, Min,

and they are suddenly way cooler than I thought they were.

I hope they're not too cool.

Mum forgot her cardigan.

[owl hoots]

[blipping]

What do you think that dot is?

Eomma or Appa.

Or Eomma and Appa.

Or not Eomma and Appa.

Probably one of those.

I'm gonna try figure out which one.

You should go to bed.

It's late.

I'm not tired.

Hey, didn't you make this for Mother's Day?

Out of one of Halmeoni's old tea towels.

I thought she lost it.

You should hold onto it.

You can give it to her when she gets back.

Will she be gone long?

No way.

She loves reminding us it's rubbish day way too much.

You sure you don't wanna go to bed?

I can stay awake, Noona.

OK.

[blipping]

[trilling]

[chirping]

[tense music playing]

Good work, Soo-jin.

If we hurry, we can be home by sunrise.

[alerts ring]

They blew up the Vavilov Institute.

But we've got the seed pod.

That one.

I've just received intel they're going after another seed bank.

But it's rubbish day tomorrow, Joon,

and I still have clothes in the washer.

And I'm cold.

Isn't there anyone else?

You know there isn't.

Give me the coordinates.

The sooner we do this, the sooner we can get home to the kids.

[blipping]
