WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP
I can't believe this.
YOUR ROYAL CHOICE,
COME ALONG WITH ROYAL BANK
It wasn't ours to begin with.
We will be punished for our greed.
Now what?
Stop it. This is not the time
to be blubbering.
Come on. He's the one who lost it,
and we found it for him.
So he should give us a cut.
Are we just going to sit here
and let him take it from us?
Let's go ask Dr. Kang for a cut.
It was partly his fault for losing it.
All we did was find it for him.
What are you doing?
Go negotiate with Dr. Kang right now!
- What?
- "What?"
Wasn't it you who squandered it, Dr. Lee?
After taxes,
the four of us could've gotten
83.75 billion won each.
But you blew it all for us,
didn't you, Dr. Lee?
If you screwed up,
you should take responsibility
and get some of it back, don't you think?
I heard he's staying at this hotel.
Forget it. I'll go by myself.
Don't get involved.
Whether I have to kneel or beg
or let him throw me out the window,
I'll handle it alone.
Dr. Lee,
go home.
I don't want to be with my sister.
I'm so angry at myself,
I can only imagine
how angry everyone else is.
I'm sorry my sister was so harsh.
My head is still ringing from being hit.
Is there a welt?
You came in on your own.
There's no leaving now.
Okay.
Ryong.
I brought Ggong. Open the door.
Ryong.
Hang on.
We're working on a rep--
Let's work on it separately.
When you're done, send it to me first.
I…
have something I want to say to you.
Can you hold your liquor?
Say it to me. Why--
Fine. Where should we go?
I'm sorry.
Just go, Commander.
Let's go home.
Okay.
No.
Don't leave.
Okay.
- Can you hold your liquor?
- I like to drink.
- But can you hold it?
- I like it.
Then, let's make a bet.
So what, the person
who drinks the most gets Ryong?
How did you know?
Slow down.
How mortifying.
Is the bet on?
I'm not joining in.
You're so fucking annoying.
Did you just swear?
There's a lot worse where that came from,
but I'm not drunk enough to say it yet.
You should go and swear at Ryong.
He's the one who had a change of heart.
Weren't you the one who turned Ryong
into a traitor?
Drink.
You can really drink.
Pour me another one.
- Why?
- You've had four drinks.
I have?
Now we're even.
Excuse me.
Can I have another bottle?
I was hoping to have a sober conversation.
So much for that.
Thank you
for saving my Ryong.
I wanted to thank you in person.
This all happened because I like Ryong.
I'm sorry.
I tried really hard not to like him,
but I couldn't help it.
I'm really sorry.
All of the shiny things below this hotel
are things Ryong wants from me.
That's why he likes me.
In order to get me,
Ryong risked his life and went to space.
He won't give up
the space fertility clinic
my dad promised him.
Ryong is actually quite materialistic.
A hardworking astronaut doesn't suit him.
You're just a novelty, something new,
but he'll get bored soon.
He'll get bored soon?
Do I look like a boring woman to you?
You saw Ryong as someone
who paid 70 billion won to go to space,
the future son-in-law
of the chairman of MZ Group.
But I saw Ryong
when he was driving a lemon,
when he was a doctor living in poverty.
I saw Ryong when he was
desperately trying to get to the top.
You don't understand the compassion…
I feel for that man.
I couldn't care less about that.
Do I look like a boring woman to you?
This won't do.
If I drink every drop of alcohol
in this place,
will you give me Ryong?
I have a feeling
I'm going to be drinking all of it.
GONG RYONG
RYONG
Why aren't they answering?
It's driving me nuts.
Open the door.
You're mine.
Ryong.
Are you okay? You stink of booze.
Eve, are you okay?
Did you really have so much to say
that you had to call both of us?
It must be nice
to have so many women to call.
Come on.
Come on, sober up. Are you okay?
Don't touch me.
You have no right to say anything.
- Are you okay?
- Give me a minute.
Eve, are you okay?
Hey, why are you lying there?
- I need to lie down too.
- What?
Don't lie there.
If you have something to say,
say it in front of us.
That's why we came back together.
Say what you have to say.
That's right. Say it.
Are you going to sleep here?
- Yes.
- Then I'm going to sleep here too.
I'll take you home. Let's go.
- Who?
- Me?
Should the three of us sleep here then?
- You leave then.
- Yeah.
You can leave.
This is too stressful.
I'm cold.
No.
I'm cold.
Sleep.
This is nice.
It's so warm.
This is nice.
So nice.
Where is this girl?
Why isn't she answering the phone?
DONA
Is it the winning number
for the 2,456th lottery?
It is. May I ask what took you so long?
Can I claim the prize now?
Yes, of course.
I mean it's a king's ransom.
We were wondering where the winner was.
The doors are closing.
Okay, thank you.
We…
We went to the buffet.
It's not what you think.
I don't care if you just slept
or copulated.
Are you going to stand here all day?
I didn't say you could sit.
We're sorry, Dr. Kang.
I'm probably coming across
as a real jerk right now.
Why are you kneeling?
Dr. Kang.
You know what a scaredy-cat I am.
The minute I picked up the lottery ticket,
I was going to find out whose it was,
and I swear,
I was going to return it to them.
Whose idea was it?
Who told you to steal my money?
He's so hopeless.
I was going to give it back. I promise.
"Why would you give it back?"
"If you give it back to Dr. Kang,
it'll be like pouring a bottle of water
into the Han River."
"You're crazy. If you give it back to him,
you're an idiot."
Like I said, who was it?
- Was it you, Dr. Lee?
- Me?
It wasn't me.
Was it Santi who made you thieves?
No.
Was Ryong the ringleader?
No, no.
Mr. Gong did nothing wrong.
I swear on my honor as an astronaut,
the three of us wanted to return it.
The three of us discussed it,
and while you were sleeping,
we put it right in front of your face
so you couldn't miss it, and then we left.
That's all.
That's the most important thing, Dr. Kang.
But incredibly,
in the middle of that chaos,
Ryong was lucky enough to find it,
and when he came back,
he gave it to us.
As soon as I held it,
I thought, "Is this fate?"
"Why is it back in my possession?"
Of course, I was tempted.
I was, but I said, "Let's give it back."
"We have to give it back."
It was nearly a year old.
We thought we might be overreacting
over a worthless piece of paper.
The plan was to call Houston
to check if the ticket was still valid,
and then return it.
That's what the phone call
in the bathroom was about.
That's the truth.
So from the beginning,
it was Ryong who said,
"Give it back? Are you an idiot?"
And the bastard
who picked it up at the ILS
and gave it to you three and not me,
knowing full well whose it was, was Ryong.
That guy is turning
taking my things into a hobby.
He already has Ms. Choi.
Why the hell would he have
a crush on someone?
Shouldn't we go get her
and teach her a lesson?
Should we torment her?
So the commander or captain
or whatever leaves?
Take that!
Hey, turn it off.
Let's not dance around the issue
and just bring them here
so we can get to the bottom of it.
How are we supposed to know
if it's one-sided or if she seduced him?
You're right.
When I was there that day,
they were both in a sleeping bag
without any underwear on.
Underwear…
- Both without any underwear on?
- What?
Really?
- Why are you telling us that now?
- Why are you telling us that now?
Damn it.
What is it?
She saved your life.
We want to show our gratitude.
Bring that girl by
so we can feed her a home-cooked meal.
I know what you all are up to.
What are we up to?
I'm busy.
I came to get my homework reviewed.
Listen, you brat.
If you knew us so well and how we feel,
you wouldn't have said that crap
after drinking yesterday!
Come on, I…
I'm feeling conflicted as it is.
I don't need your nagging.
I'm sure the same goes for the commander.
Things are already complicated enough,
so stay out of it.
Listen! We're going to make her
a home-cooked meal. You better bring her.
- Got it?
- Mom.
How would you feel if your boyfriend's ex
told you all about their relationship?
I'd be totally put off.
You shouldn't let that happen
in the first place if you're a man.
It would be over.
- Was that about you?
- Was that about you?
I'm hanging up.
- Hey!
- What'd he say?
- You punk.
- Hang up.
Thank you for your reports.
Ryong, you were trying to remove
the cable for the camera you took
and got trapped alone.
It wasn't just ours. Dozens of cables from
various countries were tangled together.
So it wasn't easy to just remove mine.
No matter how well
you organize the cables,
they go wild in microgravity.
Once you were in the sleeping bag,
you followed the guidelines for survival.
Yes.
But why didn't you take off your socks,
Mr. Gong?
Your feet could've gotten frostbite.
Oh, my socks…
Well, you know, socks are…
Chief, as you're aware,
it isn't easy to bend over and put on
or take off your socks in zero gravity.
That's why we wear the same pair of socks
for days in a row
even though we change clothes daily.
It was too hard, so we gave up.
Fair enough.
Anyway, thanks for working so hard
to write such detailed reports.
It's going to be a big help.
Are we finished?
You've had an incredible journey,
teetering on the brink of life and death.
We won't forget it either.
Right.
This is where we part ways.
You can leave now.
Eve and I have more things to discuss.
I'll be going then.
Goodbye.
Since we had the wrap-up party
for Expedition 3 yesterday,
don't meet the tourist personally anymore.
I know he said it was one-sided,
but it's not a good look.
People will talk.
People are already gossiping.
Have you forgotten that there are
more people who want you to fail
and take your position
than there are who support you?
You worked so hard to get here.
I don't want this
to tarnish your reputation.
Does it feel like
I'm interfering in your personal life?
Did I go too far?
No.
Don't ever see him again. Got it?
You're not answering.
Okay.
Have you given up
on your unrequited love?
I'm not going to do that anymore.
That's good.
You've come to your senses.
By the way…
The prime example of a mammal,
the mouse, hasn't had sex in space yet,
or gotten pregnant or given birth.
You're an ob-gyn, aren't you?
- Huh?
- In microgravity,
what do you think is the most
crucial factor for life to be born?
Why can't mammals have sex up there?
Let's do it together.
A pretty little mouse
might have already done it.
- What?
- You just didn't see it.
When mice mate,
the copulatory plug remains for 24 hours.
That's how we can check.
There's no way we'd miss it
if a mouse were to mate.
We could tell.
But sometimes there are mice
where we can't tell.
The sneaky ones,
the ones who pretend they didn't do it.
The ones secretly in love.
Huh? What's wrong with you, Commander?
The sneaky ones.
The ones who pretend they didn't do it.
- The ones secretly in love.
- The ones secretly in love.
I'm going to go up with Eve this time.
What?
That's where Eve is going to stay,
so I need to repair the damaged station.
The IOU has my request.
I don't know if the IOU
will approve such a last-minute request.
Whether you two go up there
and reconcile as colleagues, I don't care.
As long as the mission is a success,
I'm okay with it.
By the way, Park Dong-a,
you and I also have to write a report.
On the Maru rescue and return process,
and any issues or improvements needed.
This includes you too, Eve.
So from now on,
the three of us are in this together.
Don't even think about
leaving before me today.
Let's take a look.
Don't worry. I'm not going to steal
your position as commander.
Even if I go, you're the commander.
I won't take a junior colleague's job.
It's going to take three months
to restore the station.
You're going to be staying there.
I'm going to fix it.
And once it's done, I'm leaving.
So don't look at me like that.
Did you find something?
- Oh, you're here.
- Yeah.
Let's get started.
From the window by the tourist's seat,
I saw flames from the undetached trunk.
The material should've disintegrated
before we entered the atmosphere.
Why was it still there?
I was shocked
at how slowly the trunk burned.
The parachute almost went up in flames.
Has the trunk material changed?
The parachute wasn't
functioning properly either.
Let's look into it one by one.
You know,
being here reminds me of the old days.
Dong-a, sit down.
Yeah, it does.
Man, it was tough
watching out for you guys.
Dong-a, who did you like back then?
Yeah, tell us.
I'll forgive you if you're honest.
Who was it?
You ladies, seriously.
It was another woman, Chief.
There were others, you know.
- There were so many.
- He can't answer.
Enough already, Eve. Chief.
- You slimy bastard.
- He was slimy from the beginning.
Come on. Lay off.
Was this why you wanted us
to work on this together?
Yes, we're going to make you squirm.
We're just getting started.
- Chief.
- Yeah?
You should just apply
for the station repair mission.
You used to be an engineer.
You should come up to space with us
so we can all hang out.
Should I?
I was starting to get sick
of all the meetings and reports.
It doesn't suit my temperament.
Dong-a, should we all go up together?
What do you think?
Hey, Dong-a.
Dong-a?
What do you say? Is it okay?
- See you tomorrow.
- Good night, Doctor.
FLAVORS OF THE MOUNTAIN, SEA, AND SKY
Eve, what are you doing here?
I got a call from Jeon Yi-man
out of the blue.
What did Yi-man want?
He called and told me to come.
You're here! Welcome!
Wow, she's so obedient.
Oh, hello.
Eve! Get in the car. Hurry!
Hurry up! You don't want to be here!
- What should I do?
- Get over here.
They'll eat you alive!
Hurry up and get in!
Hurry! Come on.
For God's sake. No!
You must have been surprised
when Yi-man called.
Go and get some beer.
I'm not drinking.
Who said it's for you?
Can't we treat the captain to a drink?
I have a meeting right after.
Just one beer then.
I'll just have one beer.
One beer is fine.
Don't say anything strange.
Don't be silly.
- Thank you for rescuing our son.
- Thank you.
You know how men are.
When they go on trips, or somewhere new,
or visit unfamiliar places,
or meet new women,
they get all restless
and sometimes lose their minds
and make mistakes.
You know how it is.
You idiot, you didn't bring any glasses.
We can't chug from the bottle.
Go get some glasses.
That fool.
That idiot went off to space
when he was about to get married,
so I'm sure he got scared
and had a brief lapse of judgment.
Please don't hold it against him, Captain.
You know how men aren't all there
compared to women.
That fool may look fine on the outside,
and even though he's a doctor,
he's still really immature
and not the greatest of guys.
What did you say?
You're bad-mouthing me, aren't you?
Hey, even as women,
we can see how amazing the captain is.
I bet she's got high standards
and has tons of men after her.
I bet there are lots of men
secretly crushing on her.
There's probably at least
a dozen idiots like Ryong.
Tons, I'm sure.
What do you like?
What can we make for you?
Do you want anything?
I heard you're going up soon.
I eat everything.
Is there something you're craving?
Stop asking. Just make her everything.
- How old are you?
- I'm 37.
What do your parents do?
Are they both alive?
No, they passed away.
Oh, dear.
You turned out so well though.
They would have been so proud
if they were here.
Where were you born?
I don't really know.
I was adopted to the US
right after I was born
and raised by my adoptive parents.
They abandoned their daughter? A newborn?
Oh my… When?
Why are you asking that kind of thing?
I was told it was on Christmas Eve.
How terrible.
It must have been so cold.
Is that why your name is Eve?
That's why I hate Christmas Eve the most.
- This looks good. Thank you.
- I hate Christmas too.
You sit this one out.
Why? I want to drink too.
The tofu is good today.
Man, I shouldn't have had
anything to drink.
Can't I go with you?
No.
Chief Kang said that
we weren't allowed to meet, ever.
Just to the front of the MCC.
What if we get caught?
If they find out I'm the mouse,
they'll kill me.
Very scary.
Would they fire you?
Who knows?
Eve.
What?
Do you regret
being the first mammal to do it?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Didn't you stop thinking about
whether you'd live or die in that moment?
Yeah, I forgot all about it.
Whether I was the commander
or the tourist,
in space or on Earth,
with gravity or zero gravity,
I forgot it all in that moment.
I was good, wasn't I?
I'm a pretty amazing mammal, aren't I?
Has the Maru been salvaged?
Yes, we took it back
to the MCC storage today.
I will investigate Maru
with Commander Eve and Pilot Dong-a Park
and report the errors and improvement of
the liftoff and landing process of Maru,
including trunk separation failure
during the rescue mission.
Please hurry up.
The investigation team in Florida
is ready to launch.
OBOK SAUNA
Hello.
Thank you.
I've never done this before.
What do I do when I get inside?
Just follow what everybody else is doing.
Just follow what they do?
After you go up,
you won't be able to have a proper shower
for a whole year, right?
- True.
- That’s not a shower. It's a wipe-down.
You're right. It's just wiping down.
You'll be okay, right?
Take it all off? Okay, okay.
You can do it.
MEN'S SAUNA, WOMEN'S SAUNA
- How was it?
- So embarrassing. Everyone was naked.
Do you remember how cold we were?
No, I don't remember.
I'm hungry.
Me too.
I don't know this area.
Let's just choose a place
that smells good.
Okay.
Whoa, he's bringing out another pan.
- What?
- Hang on.
You act like you haven't eaten in days.
The station didn't have any smell at all.
It was so dreary.
Is this the smell of plain bread loaves
or baguettes?
Does the food at the station
have to have no smell and no taste?
How do you eat that for a year?
I started missing Earth
after only ten days.
I've never been there
for more than three months,
but according to some senior astronauts,
after three months,
they were dying to hear birds chirping.
Then after six months,
they said you go crazy
just wanting to hear the sound of rain.
I've even seen people bring recordings
of Earth sounds to play up there.
But right now, I really want to bottle up
this smell and take it back with me.
That feeling of sinking into hot water
at the bathhouse earlier today,
and the sensation
of the water lapping against my skin,
and the sounds of this neighborhood
as we wait here together
for the bread to come out.
It's nice.
It isn't nice because it's Earth.
It's nice because you're with me.
Is that so?
I see.
You almost died up there.
Aren't you scared to go back?
I'm not scared of dying.
I don't care when I die,
but I want to die when I'm happy.
Everyone dies.
Can I be honest with you?
That day,
even if I had died in that tent,
I didn't think I'd feel resentful
or angry about my life.
Because I wasn't alone.
Yeah.
"Being here with someone I like
and dying like this wouldn't be so bad."
"I've been lonely my whole life,
but I'm not lonely anymore."
That was what I thought.
No way.
"I'm going to survive and make it back
so I can eat something hot
with the commander,
take a warm bath with her,
and date like other normal people."
"And if we fall deeper in love,
I'm going to marry
and have kids with her."
"At least three."
"I definitely won't die
in some kind of accident."
"I'm going to live a healthy life
until I'm almost 100,
and then die just a day or two apart
from this woman."
"I should live at least a day longer
so she won't grieve because of me."
Those were the thoughts I had
as I begged and begged
and prayed and endured.
"I refuse to die like this
in here with this woman."
I vowed to myself that I wouldn't die.
And if we fell deeper in love,
what was it that you would do?
If we fall deeper in love…
- What was that about kids? How many?
- So, if we fall deeper…
Huh? How many kids would we have?
I don't know.
What? Dream on, buddy.
Oh, it's open! Let's go.
Come in.
DAD
Hi, Dad.
What the hell have you been up to?
MZ switched their primary bank.
They switched to our competitor.
I want you to get over there
and fix this now!
Chairman Choi.
Isn't this stooping a bit low?
What?
Please switch your primary bank
back to ours.
Go-eun is my woman.
Please bring her back too.
You told me to give up.
Give up?
Nobody has ever dared
to tell me to give up before.
You give up.
I thought you liked me.
You could never be satisfied
with a guy like Ryong.
Ryong didn't give up.
Even when he didn't have any eggs,
he didn't give up.
Even in situations where, as you said,
giving up was the only option,
he didn't.
You lost.
He was on the brink of freezing to death,
and he still didn't give up.
You could learn a thing
or two from him, you punk.
Ryong is a scumbag.
He has feelings for someone else.
Look at this punk.
Ryong has given up Go-eun.
Go get Ryong.
Do you have another woman?
What?
I am even…
thinking about keeping the socks
you wore as heirlooms.
I asked you a question.
Do you have another woman?
If that's true,
it won't matter that you risked your life
to make that morula.
I won't trust you with it.
I'll also kick you out of the hospital
and put a stop
to the space fertility clinic.
I'll make sure you never practice medicine
on Earth again.
Sir, I was going to tell you,
but, you see, Go-eun and I--
Dad.
Why are you doubting Ryong
just because of what Kang Kang-su said?
What, after that
ice cream backstabbing incident,
do you two have
something else up your sleeve?
How are you planning
to stab us in the back this time?
Listen, sir.
If it weren't for that lunatic
Kang Kang-su,
Ryong and I wouldn't have any problems.
Because of that man,
I can't bring myself
to look Ryong in the eye.
He books the room next to mine
at our hotel and goes around
telling everyone that my ex-boyfriend
is staying in the room next to mine,
making me into this strange woman--
That's going a bit overboard.
Is this true?
Yes, he's in the room next to hers.
Do you have any idea how pathetic he is,
begging me to take him back?
Pathetic?
When have I ever acted pathetic
around you?
He walks around the hotel restaurant
in his pajamas
and forces people to kneel in front of him
in the lobby, going on and on about money.
Did you rip people off?
You really are something else.
You act like
you're the center of the universe.
It's not me that he likes.
He needs our company
to make his bank our primary bank.
Why do you think I dumped him?
This is so embarrassing.
While this so-called astronaut
is on Earth,
he either spends all day
with his fruit flies,
or he's at a fruit fly conference,
or he goes to parties
to raise money for fruit fly research.
He'd come over after midnight,
and all this man would do
is spend the night.
The only time I ever saw him was in bed.
The minute he opened his eyes,
he'd run off to his little fruit flies.
You'd only come to sleep with me
because you were supposedly so busy.
How is it
you don't have a Nobel Prize yet,
and instead, you go around
trying to turn my dad against Ryong?
That thing he can't do at the station,
the thing he can't do with fruit flies.
That's the only thing he came to me for,
to sleep with me.
Enough.
I'm okay.
You have no idea
how to be an older brother figure,
but you have the nerve to talk about mine.
Now that I like somebody else,
he's refusing to give up
because his pride's been hurt.
Dad,
he treated me worse than his fruit flies.
Do you still want us to work things out?
Huh? Do you?
Why do you still speak
to this fruit fly of a man?
You, get lost.
Sir.
That bastard Ryong
has feelings for somebody else.
Ryong, would you like to have lunch?
Sir.
Hey!
I want you to ban this fruit fly lover.
Don't let him in again.
If anyone's going to tell him,
it'll be me.
I haven't given up on you yet.
At least let me save face.
Okay.
- Are you insane?
- Hey!
You… Blindsiding me again?
Shit.
Take it out on me,
not my precious piece of crap car.
You think I'm going to go down alone
at the disciplinary hearing?
You're going down with me.
Say that again.
You think I won't do it?
Did they get caught?
- What? Did you take it from them?
- You listen to me.
You stole my money and my girl.
Aren't you the real thief here?
Fine. Even if I get a harsher penalty
and they slap me with a fine
of billions of won, thanks to you…
Thanks to you, I've got it covered.
Much appreciated.
Do you really want to start something?
You little shit.
- You asshole.
- Hey!
You still haven't implanted the morula
into Dr. Na Min-jeong, have you?
You bastard.
You should know when to shut up.
Can't you distinguish
between your love life
and matters of life and death?
You're only good at betraying people.
Stop. You're going to make things
difficult for Ms. Choi.
Please stop.
So what if I betrayed a thief like you?
- So what, you bastard?
- What?
That's nothing compared to
what you deserve.
Go-eun.
You're not even worth hitting.
You happy?
Are you guys satisfied?
There will be a disciplinary hearing
for Kang Kang-su tomorrow.
The inspector general will personally
be overseeing the proceedings.
The entire crew
from Expedition 3 must attend.
Yes, Chief.
Kang Kang-su's experiment,
using the donated eggs and Santi's sperm
from the station, was an act
of contempt and deception
not only to his fellow astronauts
but also to the KSA.
It will be Kang Kang-su's judgment day.
Do your best to cooperate
with the inspector general.
How is it possible not to know
what was in the incubator?
Here, we can only monitor
whether it's on or off.
We can't know what's inside the incubator
until they report it.
Si-won, come with me to the main office
before we go home for the day.
I need to get something
from my office for the inspection team.
Okay.
Let's have dinner.
I'm not done with work.
We all warned you.
Warned me about what?
You know.
Let's finish this after dinner.
I want to get this done and go.
Aren't you going to listen to me?
It doesn't have to be me,
just don't date the tourist.
If everyone is against it,
there's probably a good reason.
Is this intended to be advice
or a warning?
You're kidding me, right?
Dong-a, I don't have much time.
I'm leaving for space in a few days.
Every second feels precious
to me right now.
The thought of leaving someone I like
behind on Earth makes every day feel
like it could be my last,
like I've been sentenced to death.
The thought of wasting even a second
is making me crazy.
Did you sleep with him?
When?
When I risked my life to save you?
When you were naked and alone together
in the sleeping bag?
Yes.
You're lying.
You and I are no different.
Stop lying. Up there? In zero gravity?
Yeah.
That punk did what a mouse couldn't?
You expect me to believe that?
Yeah.
On top of everything,
now you're lying to me?
Eve, you've gone mad.
You're nuts, you know that?
We're not done talking.
Why didn't you tell Dr. Ma,
who has been hell-bent on getting mice,
the most prolific breeders
of all mammals, to mate?
Why didn't you tell your partner that?
Why do you only lie to me?
You and I are not the same.
I'm a terrible person,
which is something you could never be.
I…
I know you. You're not like that.
But it's true.
But it's true.
You guys lost. We did it first.
Aren't we amazing?
You guys need to step up
your game, got it?
Chief?
We're running late.
I'm heading out now. Just wait a bit.
Do you have an umbrella?
- Chief.
- Yeah?
On your way home,
can you drop me off at the MCC?
Do it tomorrow.
The flight team wants it by tonight.
Then take a taxi.
Come on. It's raining.
Then at least give me the company card.
Just take my whole wallet,
why don't you?
What did you say?
Let's have dinner.
I don't want to eat alone.
I told you, I have to work.
What did the inspector general say?
As expected, the mood was tense.
Isn't that the commander?
She doesn't even have an umbrella.
She can't afford to catch a cold now.
- Call her. Let's pick her up.
- Okay.
Aren't you cold?
Why'd you come out?
It's just around the corner.
Why didn't you borrow an umbrella
instead of walking in the rain?
Everyone had already left for the day.
So the people
who dislike me have all left?
Hang on. What's that?
What's wrong with your neck?
- Huh?
- Who did this?
This? It's nothing.
- What?
- It's no big deal.
Out of nowhere?
So, where's that commander now?
The one who ordered me not to like her
up there in space.
You called me a murderer.
Where's the guy
who said he'd never save me again?
I left him in space.
I love how the rain sounds.
There you go again.
Here's the thing.
It's not the sound of the rain you love.
You also love the sound of the rain
because you're with me, Commander.
You're right.
It started from then, that's right.
Yep, that's when it was.
And Dong-a risked his life to go up there.
Let's be honest.
We all thought something was off, right?
They held back
and after they got back,
that's when sparks flew?
Hey, Si-won. Zoom in over there
behind the sleeping bag.
- Behind the sleeping bag?
- Quickly.
Okay.
Zoom in more.
- More?
- Yes.
Is that an incubator back there?
An incubator?
Was there an incubator there?
Isn't that an incubator door?
It's too dark to see it clearly. Hang on.
You're right, that's an incubator.
It hadn't been used since
we repurposed that module for observation,
but the power turned on
just before the space debris hit.
We can't tell from Earth
what it was used for.
After the debris hit,
communications were cut off,
so there's no record after that.
Who could have used it?
All hell might break loose
at tomorrow's disciplinary hearing.
Check to see who went there
when the debris hit.
Okay.
So he had more embryos
than the seven morulas we caught him with.
Damn.
Get Kang Kang-su and the tourist in here.
- The tourist too?
- The tourist was in there the whole time.
He was messing around in there
and got left behind. Call them now!
You two are in cahoots, aren't you?
WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP
Name, Kang Kang-su.
Your status as an astronaut
has been permanently revoked.
Traitors.
We may have lost our baby,
but I wanted to save the morula.
We're not in cahoots, we're enemies.
Shut your mouth.
I can't believe a word you say anymore.
She doesn't have any family,
so wouldn't it be nice if she had
at least one person back here on Earth
who had her back?
- I think it's pregnant!
- Really?
Where are you?
I'll head over there right now.
