This is technically a pared down scene, as the first part does appear in the episode, but the part of the scene that takes place when Young-ro and Seol-hee are left alone in the lounge ended up being cut. I suspect that, since their reconciliation was cut, this conversation would have felt out of place if left in.

| As the camera pans out from Young-ro’s terrified face, Gang-mu, Ms Pi, Bun-ok, Gwang-tae, Byeong-tae, Hye-ryeong, Jeong-min, and several students are staring at footage of the tank flattening a vehicle as it advances with terror-stricken expressions. Over that, the news commentary can be heard. | |
| Reporter 1 (E) | The Ministry of National Defence have yet to release an official statement, however, as the threat of the armed spies detonating the bombs is escalating, (it’s expected this may be an extrajudicial response strategy executed due to the need for a military-level hard-line response being judged urgent.)* *continues in the background |
| Gwang-tae | (sick with terror) This is crazy!!! Seriously, what are we going to do now??? The only person who can fight with a gun is you, team leader-nim!!!! I seriously would sooner die than die!!!* *n.b. I know this sounds non-sensical, because it is. In Korean, the phrase ‘jugeo-do ~’ (죽어도 ~) meaning, ‘even if I died [I wouldn’t] ~,’ is used to express a strong aversion to doing something, but here the thing he has a strong aversion to is dying. |
| Hye-ryeong | They created this mess, and now where have the spies gone? After putting our lives in danger, they just took off on their own?? |
| Gang-mu | Calm down. Before the bastards charge in, we’ll leave the dorm no matter what. |
| Ms Pi | Girls. For now, go to the prayer room, hurry!!! |
| Gwangtae, Everyone | (hightailing it out / stampeding out) |
| Only Young-ro and Seol-hee are left in the room ... | |
| Seol-hee | (upset with Gwang-tae, who took off as fast as his legs could carry him) He once said he’d protect me ... that he’d find a way to get us out alive one way or another, and yet ... both Gwang-tae-ssi and Soo-ho-ssi .. are exactly alike. (feeling extremely bitter towards Gwang-tae) How could he just take off and leave you here alone?? |
| Young-ro | He didn’t take off. He’ll have gone because it couldn’t be helped. Because he has to save his men .. |
| Seol-hee | Are you not even bitter? |
| Young-ro | (doing her best to smile as tears spring to her eyes / internally) I’m ... relieved ... that Soo-ho-ssi, at least, made it out safely! If he were here, that person ... would have come to harm, wouldn’t he. |
| Seol-hee | (upset at the sight of her) Auff, dummy! |
| Seol-hee says, and hurriedly drags Young-ro out of the lounge by the hand ... |
