Crash Landing on You

Chapter 15 (Episode 15)

Episode 15

Seung-joon tries to escape from the men chasing him, but he ends up trapped on the roof of the apartment building. He wonders if this is the end, and why he's thinking of Dan at such a time. The men quickly find him, and Seung-joon gapes when their leader aims a rifle at him... his former trusted broker, CEO Jeon.

Chul-kang receives an email from his North Korean contact saying that Director Ri has a plausible story for why Jung-hyuk is in South Korea, so they weren't able to threaten him. Chul-kang is told to kill Jung-hyuk, and that if he can't, not to return home.

Jung-hyuk bursts in and aims his gun at Chul-kang, but he's been followed by NIS agents, who order Jung-hyuk and Chul-kang to drop their weapons. Chul-kang turns his back on Jung-hyuk, seeming to surrender, as the NIS agents aim their weapons at Jung-hyuk. But Chul-kang pulls a gun from his waistband and whirls to shoot Jung-hyuk.

Moving quickly, Jung-hyuk sidesteps out of the line of fire, and Chul-kang is struck by several NIS bullets. Collapsing to the floor, Chul-kang gasps that he sent evidence of Jung-hyuk and Se-ri's relationship to North Korea, so Jung-hyuk can't return home or his parents will be executed.

Chul-kang claims that Director Ri chose not to investigate Moo-hyuk's murder because he knew he would find that his own actions were at fault. Voice weakening, Chul-kang says that Director Ri probably wants Jung-hyuk to die here, which puts them in the same situation, so they should die together. He reaches for his gun, but he dies before he touches it.

Sick with grief and believing Chul-kang's words about his father, Jung-hyuk raises his gun to his head. But the NIS agents burst in and arrest him before he can take his own life.

In the village in North Korea, Wol-sook decides to shave her head out of shame for the things she said to Dan's mother while she was drunk. But a sudden commotion outside has the ladies running to see Myung-sook and Woo-pil being dragged away by two uniformed men.

The men claim to be from the State Security Department, so Young-ae tells them to give her regards to the director of the State Security Department, Ma Young-seop. The men promise to do that and Young-ae crows that Ma Young-seop is her brother, catching the men in their lie and forcing them to let go of their captives. Young-ae tells Myung-sook and Woo-pil to stay at her place where it's safe until Man-bok comes home.

It's no surprise that Se-hyung blames Sang-ah for the fact that he's been disowned. But Sang-ah says that they still have a card to play — she heard from Chul-kang that Se-ri's "bodyguard" and the other men who are watching her are all here illegally from North Korea.

Chi-soo and Joo-mok play a joke on little Eun-dong, telling him that there's a person inside the vending machine who hands out drinks when someone wants one. He falls for it hook, line, and sinker and apologizes to the machine while they snicker behind his back, hee.

Man-bok and Kwang-bum are caught and arrested in Se-ri's room by the NIS agents. The others hide, frightening themselves with horror stories about how the NIS will torture them if they're arrested. Chi-soo is an orphan, so he sacrifices himself to lead the NIS away from their hiding place. Unfortunately, he runs to a dead end and they all end up in handcuffs.

Se-ri staggers to the lobby as the ducklings are being taken away. She pleads with the NIS agents, but the ducklings are more upset that Se-ri might hurt herself than they are about being arrested, so they yell at her to stay. Se-ri sobs that this is all her fault, and her Stepmom tries to console her, but she ends up making herself sick.

In the van, the ducklings think about Dong-gu from Division 11 and how crazy he acted. They assume he must have been through some intense torture, so when they arrive at the NIS headquarters, they're braced to face extreme torture and mistreatment.
