Its fitting that we get the Professors backstory in this Part 1ending episode.
After all, hes the person who started all of this.
Tokyo may be our narrator, but the Professor put together the team.
The Professor does not take this responsibility lightly.
That quality of accountability served as the impetus for staging the heist in the first place.
In a flashback, we see him speaking passionately about the subject to his mostly bored students.
A desire to make both South Korea and North Korea rich.
Kim Sang-man, a National Assembly Member and Woo-jins husband, is there too, but he isnt bored.
Hes listening to Sun-hos dream of capitalism lifting both Koreas up together.
Sang-man recruits the Professor to devise an economic plan for reunification, and Sun-ho jumps at the offer.
(The true dream of capitalism?)
Unfortunately for Woo-jin, shes missing a significant piece of the puzzle as are we, the viewers.
Thats right, everyone!
Berlin learned from his mistakes anddidnttry to kill someone this time.
This episode acts as a quasi-redemptive one for Berlin.
The reveal that Berlin is dying necessitates the follow-up question: Why did he agree to do this heist?
If this doesnt feel like a season finale, thats because its not.
Sure, there are some nail-biting cliffhangers (Captain Cha is lurking!
), but no more so than any of the previous five episodes.
I suppose I will just accept his swimming ability and impressive lung capacity as additional character traits.
Woo-jins husband is the worst.
I thought we were a team.
I am here for Captain Cha/Woo-jin friendship.
Hey, at least hes honest about it!
Didnt you say you were really good at fighting?
Rio to Denver, after he gets pummeled by Young-min.
Nairobi canonically slaps butts as a sign of affection.
I think she may be enjoying this heist the most?
She and Mr. Lee.
Tokyo, girl, its not a good idea to be sleep-deprived when staging a heist.
Especially after a prior night of heavy drinking.
Mi-seon tears off the fancy necklace and scratches Young-min in the face with it.
She then proceeds to have hot table sex with Denver after telling him she plans on quitting her job.
This woman is really going on a journey of personal growth.
Identity check: We learn that Berlins real name is Song Jung-ho.
He entered the labor camp when he was 9 and lived there for 25 years.
He is 41 years old, meaning he has been free for about seven years.
While Berlin may have learned from his previous actions, Young-min has clearly not.
The Professor says not to watch TV.
Hes not the jot down to hurt someone.
This is how Woo-jin describes Sun-ho to a very suspicious Captain Cha.
I suppose I would agree with this statement.
I might get drunk and cry on you later.
Woo-jin has another bad day at work and gets drunk with her boyfriend.
The Professor loves her too.
Ugh, Woo-jin and Sun-ho really do like each other and its stressing me out.
