I felt like a bowl

of seaweed soup.

So, I came to this restaurant

where no Koreans come.

For a bowl of home-made soup.

I meant to give you a heads-up

about the account.

But I missed the timing.

That's your excuse?

Timing?

Cut me some slack, man.

This is not some sloppy industrial

espionage job we're dealing with.

I have a political

position to consider.

Screw you.

What political position

with commies?

I don't even make left turns

at intersections.

Anyone in my position

in any organization,

prefers to work with someone

that listens to you.

Do you know what your problem is?

You make people uncomfortable.

Why are you sitting

with someone so uncomfortable?

Fine, I'll get off your face.

What do you want from me?

You can get rid of me.

You can transfer to

the US office.

But our man who got busted

by the commie today,

he'll be confined to a wheelchair

for the rest of his life.

Just do your job.

I'll do mine.

We have a reservation

under the name, Ryun Jung-hee.

Upstairs, please.

He's already here.

He proposed this meeting.

So, he'll pick up the bill?

Didn't I tell you to take off

your wedding band?

It takes more than translation

skills to be a good interpreter.

There was a discussion at the bundestag

regarding North Korean diplomats

who got caught smuggling cigarettes.

...caught smuggling cigarettes.

Why is German parliament concerned

with what happened in Austria?

Didn't we explain that

it was a simple misunderstanding?

If this becomes a pattern,

it's hard for them to help

with our medical supply issues.

They need to set a clear position

on the matter...

We payed him up

out of empty pockets.

And that's all he has to say?

22:
00,

Hackescher Market tram stop

All I need is the grounds

to convince the parliament.

You know how things work.

Everything needs

to be recorded in Germany.

He is so shamelessly blatant

that it makes me blush.

Sick bastard.

Take a good care of him.

He wants a more personal gesture.

They need to set a clear position

on the matter.

We payed him up

out of empty pockets.

And that's all he has to say?

All I need is something to...

What brings you here?

Without calling me.

It's late.

Wash up and go to bed.

Take a good care of him.

- Let me look at your wound.

- It's not necessary.

Any news from Pyongyang?

What news?

We're way past due to return.

We don't make decisions.

We follow orders.

We can at least apply

for relocation.

When did the comrades at the embassy

last had their self-criticism?

Can't you just ask me

why I want to go back?

I guess I thought wrong.

I forgot that you're Republic's hero

before you're my husband.

Oh my God.
