What did you say?

The answer

Damn it

The answer...

how can it be damn it

Bing...

Do you know what 701 is?

We are an invisible unit

You will fight an invisible enemy

on an invisible

battlefield What?

Isn't my mission...

very dangerous?

What do you want to say?

Nothing Director

This leader told me that

I came here for tuning piano

Now you ask me to fight a battle,

then.

The charge would be very different

What do you think is

an appropriate price?

Our agreed price times 5

Reasonable

And it's impossible for

my mom to live in quarters

Living in a house is more

comfortable for an elder

Plus a small sedan

Imported sedan Deal

Director... softer please

I hope you can mend your ways

Mend what?

Who has never made a mistake?

Don't be so fussy

Director...

I am now sacrificing my life

for the country

that would compensate, right?

You aren't in a position

to bargain with me

As long as you do your work well,

no one can touch you

If you don't,

we will work according to law

Are you threatening me, sir?

I just want you to feel at ease

If you feel at ease,

you can work well

If you work well,

the price I offer you is reasonable

You have to learn radio

and Morse Code in one week

You don't have much time,

don't dillydally

Your Director is not amenable

to reason

To people like you,

he's already very kind

I am out of luck

Start working

It's all right to

put it on the table

Retrieve that particular one

This one on the far right

is the volume

When you hear sounds Put down...

what you have heard

Switch, frequency, fine tune...

volume, hear sounds

I've heard that you

and Bing haven't rested for days

You look terrible

What's the use of having

good looks here?

It's no use damaging

your health here

Take a rest, this is an order!

Of course I have to obey your order

but I also have to

complete my last mission

Put this on monitor no. 7

No. 11...more towards the left

No... my left

Is that OK? Yes

Like this

Right

What are they doing?

Bing begins to locate the channels

He wants to start with

the whole airwaves

This is the sound of the airwaves?

Just 5 days...

has he learned

all the things he needs?

Radio is sound,

Bing doesn't need to learn that

He is illiterate

Morse Code is the first

written language he learns

I found it! I found it!

It's telegraphic code!

I have been monitoring this frequency

for 2 weeks but to no avail

I found it! I found it!

It's real!

Are you awake?

The doctor said your blood sugar is low

and need to drink more glucose

You had a high fever yesterday,

scared me to death

Come, take this medicine!

Good girl

Drinking glucose isn't enough

I'll cook you chicken angelica
