I want the Security Team to pull out.
But sir--
Don't say anything. Just do as I say and pull out of there.
I want you to move aside, Dae-gi.
Do it now.
Just do as he says.
We can't let
anything bad happen at the airport,
especially if it has something to do with safety issues.
Can we go now?
Mr. Lee, are you following them?
Yes, we're right behind them.
If anything happens, call the cops right away.
Don't let anyone get hurt, okay?
Yes, I know. Don't worry.
You told me you cared more about the safety of the junior officers.
- I know. - You told me we're not cops.
Yes, I know I said all that. But...
But it still makes me upset and angry.
Mr. Jo, did you take Su-yeon?
Where are you right now? I'll go see you.
Sir, what are you doing here?
- Hyeon-jun, did you bring your car today? - Yes, I did.
Let me borrow your car.
Hurry.
Please wait for me.
What's going on?
I'm not sure.
This will stop Su-yeon.
This is going to stop him?
I wonder
if I'll be able to do it.
Please take out your passports in advance.
You can go ahead to number 19.
Why is Mr. Lee in the booth?
Ms. Jeong Hyeon-ju's kid suddenly got sick,
so she took the rest of the day off.
He took her place and has been working there ever since.
- Tomorrow's the big day, right? - Yes, it's tomorrow.
You may go.
Where's Su-yeon?
How did it go with Director Gwon?
Do you think things will go well?
First, I want to know where Su-yeon is.
Where's Seo In-woo?
What?
Wasn't it Mr. Seo who asked you guys to bring me here?
I advise you to let him go, Mr. Jo.
He's just an airport staff. You don't want to mess with him
and ruin the big plan.
There's no need to worry.
Because
I'm going to kill him without anyone knowing about it.
I won't leave behind a single trace.
No one will be able to find his body, so there won't be a problem.
Do you want the entire world to know about
that hard drive from 12 years ago?
I thought you lost that.
Hasn't it ever crossed your mind
that I could've kept it as leverage for both me and my brother?
We've been working on this project for the past ten years.
You don't want to ruin that, do you?
Not only will it ruin the chairman's big plan,
but it will also take a toll on both you and me.
In-woo.
Let me go! Let go of me!
Stop!
Let me go!
In-woo!
- Stop him! - Where do you think you're going?
Come on, hit him!
Get him out of here.
Ditch him in the sea.
Yes, sir.
What should we do, sir?
I'll call the cops. I want you to go after Jo Won-ho.
Okay, sir.
Get out of my way!
If you don't, you'll get hurt.
I said, get out of my way!
Do you know where he took Mr. Seo In-woo?
I'll find out, sir.
I promise I'll find out.
What's wrong with her?
I don't know.
Yes, how did it go?
We arrested 21 men at the scene
who seemed like gangsters.
But we can't find anyone who looks like an airport staff.
- He's not there? - No, he's not.
Okay, I understand.
Stay still.
Okay, sir.
In-woo!
In-woo.
Mr. Lee.
Let go, Su-yeon.
Just let go!
- Hello? - I just got a call from Mr. Oh.
He told me Mr. Lee is on his way home. You should come outside.
Ms. Yang, Su-yeon is apparently on his way home.
Ms. Yang.
I was on my way to go see you.
Yeo-reum told me what happened.
Is he really okay?
Dae-gi is with him right now.
It looks like Mr. Seo is okay too.
I was really worried that Mr. Seo might not keep his word.
But I guess he really took care of things.
- Seo-gun. - Don't you ever
put our staff in danger again.
If you do, I swear I'll sign the divorce papers.
The reason I let them go this time
was because Mr. Seo insisted on taking care of the issue.
I couldn't just let the Security Team fight a group of gangsters.
I don't care.
I don't like how you handled things today. I want you to know that.
Hey, Mr. Lee. How are things going?
You don't need to worry about Lee Su-yeon.
The gangsters are testifying that it was just a small fight between them.
I don't think Jo wants to cause any trouble either.
He's busy keeping his men quiet.
Okay, that's a relief.
You'll have to give a thorough report to HQ this time
regarding both Lee Su-yeon and Seo In-woo.
I'll deal with it.
Anyway, thank you.
By the way, when are you planning to return to HQ?
I'll decide that later.
Mr. Lee, will you be okay?
Yes, I'll be fine.
Thank you for taking me home.
- Yeo-reum, you're here. - Where's Mr. Lee?
I got here ten minutes ago, but he hasn't arrived yet.
Su-yeon.
Su-yeon!
Su-yeon.
Su-yeon. My goodness.
Why did you come after me again?
If I didn't come, I thought I'd never be able to know how you really feel.
Why do you care so much
about how I really feel?
Do you know something?
During the three years that I had you as my brother,
you fixed a lot more meals for me
than my mom did.
You were always like that.
You were always mean to me, but you always took care of me as well.
You told me that you pitied me
and worried that I might become just like you.
I'm relieved
that you didn't turn out like me.
You were the one who came after me this time.
You know that, right?
Here's a gift for Su-yeon for getting into college.
He won't take it if he finds out it's from me.
So you should just tell him that it's from you.
Thank you,
In-woo.
I heard that you're
getting remarried.
Yes.
I'm leaving for the States next month.
Then what about Su-yeon?
I asked him to come with me.
But he insists on staying at his college dorm.
But he's pretty good on his own now.
It had only been two years since her son
got into an accident and became disabled.
But she just chose to leave him for the sake of her own future.
And my father always put himself before me.
When children get neglected by their own parents,
they grow up not knowing how to love themselves
because they've never been taught how.
Sir, are you okay?
Yes, of course. I'm fine.
Are you sure you didn't get hurt?
Yes, I'm sure. I didn't get hurt.
Do you really think he'll be okay?
We need to stop Su-yeon.
That's the only way he'll live.
Did you make a decision?
I swear to God that I did nothing
to be ashamed of.
Does that mean
you're going to proceed with it?
I have nothing to be ashamed of,
so why wouldn't I?
Director Gwon.
Is there anyone
who cares about the airport more than I do?
Go ahead and tell me.
We had to ride a boat to get to Yeongjong Island in the past,
but look what the airport has become in 20 years.
I'm the guy who sacrificed his entire life and youth
for the development of this airport.
I was determined to stay here for as long as I could.
I devoted my entire life to this airport!
U-taek.
Seo-gun.
Neither of you have the right
to judge my life and how hard I worked.
My current position
wasn't given to me for free. Do you understand?
If that's your final decision,
I'll have to inform the labor union tomorrow morning
and react to this issue as a group.
Do whatever you want.
I'll try to talk to him, Ms. Yang.
Are you upset?
I'm not doing this for my own benefit.
One day,
this is going to happen no matter what.
And I figured it should be
done by someone who really loves this place.
But it's not the right time.
When something is forced,
someone always ends up getting hurt.
And I don't want you
to be that person.
We all just come and go.
We don't know what kind of decision will be made by the person who comes next.
But as for now, I think our job is to protect this place
and help it keep its identity.
- You're up. - Yes.
- When did you wake up? - Just now.
You don't have a fever anymore.
I guess the medicine you got from Mr. Jang really worked.
Did you stay up all night?
Mr. Jang was also here until dawn.
How do you feel?
I don't feel too bad.
Wait here. I'll bring you some food.
Let's stay like this for a bit longer.
- Aren't you hungry? - No, I'm not.
I like this better.
Here's your mozzarella focaccia.
Yes, I ordered it and sent it there. I figured you might not have time to cook.
It'll taste better if you microwave it.
I can't believe you thought of doing something like this.
Enjoy your food.
I think he used too much of his strength.
A component that acts as his hamstring got broken.
But I have a spare, so it'll be fine once I replace it with a new one.
The inflammation in his body is more serious.
Do you still have what I gave you?
But
do you really think it's right to use that on him?
Let's think about that afterward.
We need to save him first.
If we just leave him like this,
he'll collapse in less than a week.
If you can't do it, I'll do it instead.
I want to do everything it takes
to save him.
I know all that.
But...
It looks delicious.
But do we really have the right to stop him
from living the kind of life he chose for himself?
What's this?
My resignation letter.
I heard about Mr. Jang's plan to take you to the States.
Did you decide to go with him?
Even if I go there,
it's very unlikely for me to get better.
Then what's this resignation letter for?
I'm just...
giving it to you in advance.
I feel like
I might not be able to come to work one day.
Please file this resignation letter
if that ever happens.
Mr. Lee, there you are.
Please go to the Immigration Office.
There's a huge line for arrivals.
Please hurry.
What's this, Ms. Yang?
Su-yeon just gave this to me.
My worries have just turned into reality.
Weren't you aware
of this?
No.
He didn't tell me, but I kind of knew.
But I didn't know he'd hand in a resignation letter.
What should I do?
What do you think I should do, Ms. Yang?
I might
never get to see him again.
Hello.
- Sir, you can go to number 17. - Okay.
Hey, Mr. Lee's working in the booth again.
I think Ms. Jeong took the day off again because of her kid.
I can't believe he's here on a day like today.
Why? Is it a special day for him today?
Actually, today is the day
that he retires from work.
Can you take off your glasses for me?
What's going on?
I heard you're retiring today.
So I wanted to say goodbye.
Retirement isn't a big deal.
We all just come and go.
We're not much different from the passengers.
Just like the passengers who pass through this airport,
we also just stay here for a while and leave once it's time.
There's no need to put too much meaning into it.
I admire you for all the hard work you've done here.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Mr. Lee.
Where are you right now?
What's up?
I heard you handed in your resignation letter.
- Yes. - Why?
I figured it was for the best.
Can't you...
just stay beside me?
I'll be
your arms
and legs.
It's going to be a lot more difficult
and burdensome than you think.
I can do it.
Please let me help you.
After some time,
you'll eventually get exhausted.
Can you just take off your support device...
and start receiving treatment?
Please?
I don't want to take you that far.
Please don't leave me.
I don't think
I can live without you.
Just let me...
pass by, Yeo-reum.
I'm just someone...
who's destined to pass you by.
No, I don't want that.
Please don't say that.
Let's just leave it at that. Please.
No, I can't do that.
I don't think I can do that.
I need to be someone
who just passes you by.
Just remember that you once had a man
who was madly in love with you
during one of your most beautiful and radiant days in your life.
I'm happy as long as I get to live
in your memory.
RESIGNATION LETTER
Whose is that?
It's Su-yeon's.
I thought I'd become a better adult.
But I failed to protect Su-yeon
even after having lost my own brother.
When things were hard for us, we at least tried to fight through.
I don't understand why these kids just willingly give up
and build a wall around themselves.
Damn it.
I feel like shit.
I heard Su-yeon's going to pay for everything tonight.
Let's start off by drinking some beer.
Here.
Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
By the way, when did you two start dating?
What are you talking about?
You're not dating?
I thought you guys were a couple.
No, we're not a couple. Please watch what you say.
Do we really look like a couple?
I'm surprised to hear that you're not a couple.
Oh, I see.
- Sir. - I was just curious.
I was just curious. It didn't mean anything.
Let's drink.
Okay, then. The three of us should drink since we're all single.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What are you doing? Let me drink too.
We should all drink together. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Horse number one. - Horse number two.
- Number three. - Number four.
Horse number five.
- One to five. - Five to one.
- One to four. - Four to three.
- You lose. - Eun-seop.
- Drink! - Drink!
- Bottoms up!
- One! - Two!
- Three! - Four!
- Yeong-ju! - Be her knight in shining armor!
- No, I'll just drink. - Be her knight!
- No, you look drunk. - No, it's okay. I'll drink.
Yeong-ju, I'm impressed.
- One! - Two!
- Three! - Four!
He lost again.
Hey, my gosh. Yeong-ju.
Are you really okay? Do you want to take a cab?
My gosh, what do you take me for?
I can hold my liquor.
I'm totally fine.
Hey, wait. Let's sit down for a while.
I thought you were a heavy drinker, but I guess you're not.
Did I get busted again?
Yes, you got busted.
You have no boyfriend, and you can't drink.
You got caught lying to me.
Why is that?
Why do you always catch me lying?
I never once got caught in my entire life.
Really?
Then since I got busted anyway,
how about I get busted for one more thing?
What? What do you mean?
Should we
spend the night together?
I'm telling you that I want to be with you tonight.
No?
Is that a no?
Yeo-reum, I'm...
Even now?
No?
Yeo-reum.
Let me tell you about a dream I had.
This one.
- This one? - Yes.
This place is going to be so pretty.
- Let's see. It's right here. - It's here.
- Yes. - Did I get it right?
Look at this.
Are you good with this?
Look at this place.
I really want to visit this place.
- Come on. - He's almost there. Let's go.
- Go, go. - Let's go.
- Shoot! - Shoot!
- Goal! - Goal!
This is so exciting.
I dreamt of waking up
right next to you every morning.
Please live.
I know it's going to be hard.
But do this for me.
Please try one more time...
to live.
I'll...
wait for you.
Please?
She's my daughter.
Isn't she pretty?
She looks nothing like you.
What are you talking about?
Look closely. Her two eyes.
Her nose.
And her lips.
She's pretty because she looks nothing like me.
Welcome.
Su-yeon.
He's here.
Say hello.
He's Professor Jang Won-sik.
He told me a lot about you.
You must be Lee Su-yeon.
There's no such thing as a coincidence.
Everything in life
happens for a reason.
Sir, what can I help you with?
I heard they sell lunch boxes here.
Can you tell us the menu?
This is where you can borrow a portable Wi-Fi device.
These days, people always bring it on a trip.
It's easy to carry around.
Should we borrow one as well?
- Would you like to do that? - Yes.
Sir.
Hello, are you going on a trip?
I'm guessing you haven't made any reservations yet.
- Reservations? - Reservations for what?
Sir.
Just a second.
A single device can be shared among three to four people.
Let me check if there's an extra device.
Hey, Dae-gi.
- You're Oh Dae-gi, right? - Who are you?
It's me, Hye-min.
Song Hye-min?
You look really different.
Yes, I took good care of myself.
By the way, do you work here?
Yes.
- Are you married? - No, not yet.
You've become a lot more handsome.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Well, not officially.
I'm still single too.
Would you like to meet up on your free time?
He already has someone.
What?
Mr. Oh already has feelings for someone.
We have a missing child.
It's a seven-year-old boy who's wearing a blue jacket.
Sir, there's a missing child. We should get going.
What's her problem?
Have a fun trip.
Yeong-ju, wait for me.
Hey. Wait.
Are you all right?
Mom!
Mom.
- Did you lose your mom? - Yes.
I found a little boy crying in the bathroom by the east wing.
DIRECTOR
Let's get this started.
My goodness. Director Yang, you're here.
I just wanted to make sure
your desk was clean before you get here.
Is that how much you like that seat?
Not only do I like your seat,
but I'm also very jealous.
Let's begin our meeting.
My goodness, I'm sorry I'm late.
My gosh, how come you've never once
come to the team managers' meeting on time?
It's because we had a missing child. A missing child, okay?
Did you find the missing child?
Yes, an airline staff found him.
I ran so much this morning, and now I'm starving.
We can eat this, right? Let's eat while we talk.
Jae-won!
Where were you?
Thank you.
No problem.
I hope you enjoy your trip.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
It's been almost a year since he left.
WHERE STARS LAND
And he still hasn't called?
No, he hasn't.
And you haven't heard any news from anyone either?
No, I haven't.
How could he do this to you?
We're living in a world where we can easily reach other people
through social media and the internet.
But he's been out of touch for a year. This is just too much.
But I mean, I'm sure Su-yeon also has his reasons.
Have a safe trip.
I heard the Middle East is dangerous. Don't get shot or stabbed.
I can't believe you're just sending me off like this.
Just help them with the consulting. Don't work too hard.
Let me tell you something, Yeo-reum.
I think
I'll always be by your side
whether it be as a friend or anything else.
I'll be whatever you want me to be and continue to stay by your side.
That's probably what will happen.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Have a safe trip.
Okay, I hope you stay healthy.
I've never seen this before.
- This is unbelievable. - I've never seen anything like this.
- A person did this? - Yes.
That's impossible.
- I'm serious. - It's totally bent.
How is this even possible?
What's the matter? Is there something wrong?
Someone totally ruined the Tensabarrier.
What? The Tensabarrier?
Who did this?
A drunk Russian mafia was here earlier,
and he looked completely wasted.
He threw liquor bottles and kept shouting at everyone.
And he even started wielding a Tensabarrier.
But a young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere
and stopped it with his arm just like this.
By any chance, was he Lee Su-yeon?
Who's Lee Su-yeon?
I only recently started working here.
So I'm not familiar with the staff.
Where did he go?
He got off the plane and headed to the Arrival Immigration...
Dust.
The place where a multitude of stars pass by
every single day.
He finally came back
to the place where stars land.
