[urgent music playing]
Previously on Butterfly…
Something's not right, Juno.
Something about this doesn't make…
David, are you there? Come in.
I trusted you, and you betrayed me.
[Rebecca] You want me
to destroy Juno? I will.
That bitch destroyed my life first.
[Dawson] Karpov and Jae-Hun
both murdered within a week.
I think Juno's had a hand in all of it.
I'm offering you a trade.
You give me Oliver,
and I will let you and your family go.
She'll come after us.
With Juno, it's kill or be killed.
[David] You know, I tried to make a deal,
and Juno said no.
[Juno over recording] No,
I refuse to think about that.
No trade.
Juno Lund is responsible
for the death of Jae-Hun Lee.
[Dawson] I'm gonna need concrete proof.
Anything less,
and Juno destroys us both.
You're just letting me go?
[Hollis] We also traced Oliver's cell.
It was within three feet of Dawson.
[Oliver] Hi, Mum.
Now it's Juno's turn.
[intriguing music playing]
I don't know, Dad.
She's cooking him breakfast.
It's fucking heartwarming.
[David] Well, she thought she lost him.
Maybe she'll do what's best for all of us
and take some time to focus on her family.
Juno Lund…
mother of the year.
[exhales softly]
Can't remember the last time you cooked.
I've been a bit busy.
[Oliver] No, I mean, it's nice.
Thanks.
I'm just so relieved you're home.
When they told me you were taken,
I felt like my whole world was caving in.
You said he didn't hurt you.
No.
But he must have interrogated you.
What did you talk about?
He didn't really ask that many questions.
You were with him for 48 hours.
Are you saying you can't remember
what you talked about?
No, it's just…
…it's a little fuzzy.
You remember when you crashed the BMW?
You swore you weren't high,
and your father believed you.
But I knew you were lying.
You know how I knew?
Because you used to work for the CIA?
'Cause I'm your mother.
I always know.
You know, these past few weeks
haven't been easy.
But when you called me about Jae-Hun…
I buried a body for my son.
How many mothers can say that?
You know you can tell me anything.
You told him about Karpov, didn't you?
I was so alone.
It's okay.
I thought you would never come for me.
What else did you tell him?
I told him it was you.
You were the one who burned him
nine years ago.
[plaintive music playing]
I'm sorry.
I thought I was going to die.
I'm so sorry, Mum.
That's okay.
Thank you for telling me.
Eat your French toast.
[Rebecca] You ever throw
someone off a roof?
[David] What?
You know, for Caddis.
No.
I wonder what that'd feel like.
Why would you wonder that?
I didn't say I'd do it.
[David] They're leaving.
Finally.
[mysterious music playing]
God, look at her.
We already made her paranoid.
[David] Now we just have
to make Oliver suspicious of her.
It's time.
Be sure to stay down.
- [phone beeps]
- [car alarms wailing]
[exciting music playing]
- [beeps]
- Got it.
- [door opens nearby]
- [keypad beeping]
[door closes]
Someone's coming.
We need to delete any footage of us
entering the building.
Six minutes should do it.
You have the transmitter?
- I'm patching us in.
- Okay.
Hi, Oliver.
Hope you got some rest.
- Just want to get back to it.
- Why don't you sit down?
What's going on?
Hollis is gonna do
your after-action report.
What?
You just spent two full days
with David and Rebecca Jung.
You have to be formally debriefed.
Okay, uh…
But, Mum, I-I have already told you
- everything I know.
- I can't do it. It's too personal.
We have to find David
before he causes any more damage,
and we need all the insight we can get.
[Hollis] What weapons he was using,
any assets he might have with him,
where he might be headed next,
that kind of thing.
- I'll leave you to it.
- Okay.
[David] How we doing?
We have the feed.
Let's go to work.
[exciting music playing]
[Rebecca] Seventh floor is clear.
[elevator bell chimes]
- You ready?
- Yeah.
[elevator bell chimes]
Keep an eye out for security.
I'll plant the bug.
- [ Renee Oliver sings "Why"]
- So bad
I wouldn't do that ♪
♪
I've already told you,
David and Rebecca didn't say
where they were going.
They would never do that.
You keep asking me the same questions.
I'm not lying, Hollis.
Okay.
We can move on.
When did you meet with Senator Dawson?
What? Why would I meet with him?
Where is this coming from? Is this my mum?
Did you or did you not
meet with him, Oliver?
Of course not.
What the fuck is this?
I'm done with these questions,
this is ridiculous.
You're right.
You've been through a lot.
Why don't you go home?
But I just got here.
Juno wants you
to take the rest of the day off.
[tense music playing]
[exciting music playing]
[Rebecca] How's it going down there?
[David] Almost done.
[Rebecca] Don't hide it too well.
Oliver's got to find it.
- Oliver's out front.
- How long do I have?
Forty seconds.
Maybe less.
[suspenseful music playing]
[elevator bell chimes]
[elevator bell chimes]
[elevator doors open]
He's off the elevator.
He's in the hallway. Dad, we have to go.
[tense music playing]
[exciting music playing]
[tense music playing]
[exciting music playing]
[grunts]
[phone vibrates]
Hello?
I just wanted to make sure
you got home safe.
[tense music playing]
I did. Thank you.
Thank you
for sitting down with Hollis today.
I know that wasn't easy.
Of course.
Anything I can do to help.
He asked me if I met with Senator Dawson.
He did, did he?
Well, with Dawson
sniffing around the office,
we can't leave anything to chance.
Oliver,
I didn't say this before
and I should have.
I love you.
Yeah.
You, too.
[exciting music playing]
- [ Pearl Sisters sing "Unforgettable"]
- [singing in Korean]
[Dawson moaning]
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
What are you doing here?
[David] I needed to talk to you in person.
Why?
I want you to draft
an internal classified memo
stating you have a high-level,
privileged witness against Juno Lund
in the Karpov investigation.
Then I want you to distribute
that memo to your inner circle.
Think we have a mole?
Yeah.
Working for Caddis?
Juno wouldn't dare.
You don't know Juno
as well as you think you do.
And you do?
My daughter does.
She worked with her the last four years.
She said that Juno
always has someone on the inside.
Your daughter, Juno's assassin.
I had my team look into her.
We can tie her to at least a dozen murders
carried out on behalf of Caddis.
- [locker closes]
- I told you, Rebecca's off-limits.
[dramatic music playing]
[exciting music playing]
[door closes]
[beeps]
[beeps]
[line ringing]
[speaks French]
What is it?
We have a problem.
[Juno] Tell me exactly
what it said.
[Vicky] Dawson has
a "high-level, privileged witness
against Juno Lund and Caddis."
Shit.
[camera shutter clicking]
- Who do you think it is?
- Don't be fucking cute.
You know exactly who I think it is.
It never made sense
that David just let him go.
What do you want to do?
I don't know, Hollis.
I don't fucking know.
I say we bring him in now,
before he can do any more damage.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
He's not your son.
- I know this is difficult…
- Don't.
You're right. It's your call.
Who's on Oliver's security detail?
Right now, uh, Hori and Seung.
Keep them in position. I want them
running surveillance on Oliver.
I want to know everyone he talks to,
I want to know everywhere he goes.
I'm not gonna be wrong about this.
Understood.
[line ringing]
Senator.
[Dawson over phone] You were right.
We have a mole.
Vicky Linwood, head of my security team.
We're assessing the damage as we speak.
Where are you with my evidence
against Juno?
It's not evidence, it's a witness.
He'll be delivered to you soon.
[Rebecca] It's not enough.
What's not enough?
Convincing Oliver
that Juno's spying on him?
It's not enough to make him turn.
What do you suggest?
Oliver's a coward.
It's why he's not in the field like me.
He's afraid to die.
If we make him think
that Juno wants to have him killed,
he'll come running to Dawson.
You want to make him think
his own mother wants him dead?
If you want him to turn,
this is how you do it.
[Juno retches]
- [coughs]
- [toilet flushing]
[sniffles]
[grunts softly]
[sniffling]
[exhales]
[indistinct chatter]
Anything on Oliver?
Uh, not yet.
His security detail's on board
with the assignment, though,
and will report directly back to me
with anything they find.
- And David?
- This just came in.
[Hollis] From a camera outside
a construction supply store in Seongsu.
He's in Seoul?
Send Gun after him.
I want to know what he did to my son.
[dramatic music playing]
[door closes]
[atmospheric music playing]
[line ringing]
[phone vibrates]
What is it?
- [Juno over phone] Did I wake you?
- It's 6:00 in the morning, Juno.
What do you want?
It's about Oliver.
Have you spoken to him recently?
Not for a couple of weeks.
Why? Is he in some kind of trouble?
Why do you always ask me that?
- Because I know what you do, Juno.
- You work at an investment bank, Nick.
Get off your high horse
before you fall and break your neck.
At least no one gets killed
in my line of work.
We're lucky Ollie hasn't been hurt.
- Has he?
- No.
He's under a lot
of pressure.
Honestly, I don't know
what's going through his head.
He's so moody and unpredictable.
What do you do when he gets like that?
Well, our relationship's, uh…
…different.
It's a bit more complicated
between the two of you.
How so?
Well, isn't it obvious?
He wants your approval.
Craves it.
Deep down, he's afraid
that you won't love him
if he's not good enough or…
strong enough,
ruthless enough.
And I make him feel that way, is that it?
I think you've made him feel
that way his entire life.
[intriguing music playing]
What is this? It's a friend's apartment?
An old soju client of mine.
He's out of the country,
so he won't mind we're here.
So he just gave you the combination?
Something like that.
Come in, close the doors.
So… what do you want to do now?
Cooking lessons.
[ Løren sings "Sticks and Stones"]
[singing in Korean]
You trying to make up for all those
school projects you skipped out on?
Exactly, and there will be a quiz later.
[scoffs]
Hey.
You think Juno would hurt Oliver?
I don't know.
She's never come up on a line
she wasn't willing to cross.
Honestly, that's what I admire about her.
It's how she got herself this far.
She wasn't always like that, you know.
At some point, she started
giving up on her humanity.
Once you start down that path…
It's hard to go back.
That's why I came back for you.
You can't keep living this life, Rebecca.
It starts to break you, and at some point
you start to lose yourself.
Like Juno.
Like you?
Yeah.
For a time.
How did you fix yourself?
I stopped living that life.
I stopped pushing away the things
that were hard to feel,
and I stopped thinking about
my family as a vulnerability.
Look,
I don't know what's going to happen to us.
I don't know if this is gonna work.
But I do know…
[sighs]
…that we have to try.
[phone vibrating]
[chuckles]
[speaking Korean] Hey. Is everything okay?
Yes. We're all safe here.
Good.
I'm in the middle of something.
Can I call you back?
Minhee's going to bed.
Just tell her good night.
Oh okay.
Minhee, it's Daddy.
Daddy!
Our little princess!
[speaking English] Are you having fun
with Harabeoji and Halmeoni?
[Minhee] It's okay.
I'm watching so much TV.
But I want to go back to my house.
I know. Me, too.
Where are you, Appa?
When are you coming back?
Soon. But I miss you.
I miss you, too.
Mm.
Hey, but it's late. It's time for bed.
Can you put Omma back on the phone?
Hey, hey, hey.
I love you.
[dramatic music playing]
She didn't sleep last night.
She kept coming into my room,
and after five or six times
I just let her stay with me.
How are you and Rebecca?
Is she sleeping through the night?
[laughs]
We're okay.
Things are in motion.
If everything goes according to plan,
we should be able to join up with you
in a couple of days.
And when does life go according to plan?
[laughs]
Thank you for understanding.
How's your real family?
You're my real family, too.
Hey, looks like
you finished the fun stuff…
…without me.
[ Stray Kids sing "God's Menu"]
[rapping in Korean]
[dramatic music playing]
[quiet, ominous music playing]
[elevator bell chimes]
[Oliver] Oh.
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
I'm not allowed to come visit my son?
How did you get in?
It's a company apartment.
Do you want anything?
I've got, uh, tea
or coffee.
I'm good. Thank you.
What's that?
It's a present.
Aren't you gonna open it?
Oh, wow.
Feel how light it is.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Think of it as a souvenir
of your time here in Korea.
You make it sound like I'm leaving.
You are. You're going home tonight.
What?
Caddis and all of this,
it isn't the right place for you now.
Why? I-I was just fine
at Caddis until a week ago.
Oliver.
I've been through hell for you.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm doing this for you,
to make it easier.
I spoke to your father,
and we both think it's a good idea
if you go and work for him for a while.
What, work at the fucking bank?
He's always wanted
to bring you into his business,
and I-I was just too proud
to see it was a good idea.
I'm not gonna go work for my dad.
It doesn't have to be permanent,
it's just the best thing for you now.
Oh, yeah.
Of course, this is all for me.
This isn't just you
getting rid of your fuckup of a son.
I'm not flying to London.
Yes, you are.
Juno, please.
You don't understand what I'm saying.
If you stay here,
I can't guarantee your safety.
[ominous music playing]
So pack what you can,
and I'll ship the rest
of your things tomorrow.
Your flight leaves at 10:00.
Fuck that.
Don't let him get away.
[tense music playing]
[Rebecca] Oliver just left Juno.
He looks scared.
We have him where we need him.
Security detail's right behind him.
I'm done.
[car alarm chirps]
[engine starts]
[tires screeching]
He's headed south.
[David] I'm right behind him.
[engine starts]
[David] Move into position.
Keep him boxed in.
- [Rebecca] Copy.
- [engine revs]
[tires screeching]
[Rebecca] I'm in position.
[David] Okay, here we go.
When he sees this car, he'll run.
[exciting music playing]
[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
[Rebecca] Come on.
[tires screeching]
[David] Force him right.
- In three, two, one. Now!
- [tires screeching]
[exciting music playing]
[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
[horn honking]
[tires screeching]
[horn honking]
Yeah.
Fucking suck that.
Okay, stop here.
I'm gonna kill the electronics.
[engine stops]
[pedal thumps]
[brakes screech]
[insects chirping]
[whispers] What the fuck?
Fucking thing! Come on!
[suspenseful music playing]
It's my turn.
- [beeping]
- [panting]
- [beeping rapidly]
- [groans]
Fuck.
[dramatic music playing]
[engine revs]
Oliver. Nice to see you.
Yeah.
Calling me was the right decision, son.
What do I, what do I need to do?
Cooperate with my investigation.
In return, I'll guarantee you
24-hour protection.
Cooperate?
You mean you want me
to stab my mum in the back?
I want you to tell me everything you know.
About Karpov, Jae-Hun Lee
and Caddis's dealings
with Russian Intelligence.
I want full immunity.
Of course. Let's get off the street.
[tense music playing]
[Dawson over phone] Oliver just
turned himself in.
If any of what he says holds up,
that'll give us an ironclad case
against Juno and Caddis.
That's great to hear.
Oliver had a lot to say about
Rebecca's activities with Caddis.
[atmospheric music playing]
We have a deal, remember?
Yeah. I remember.
Good.
What's going on?
Oliver turned himself in.
[laughs] Fucking rat.
Juno is finished.
Do you think she'll go to jail?
I don't know.
But all her power, all her influence,
that's all gone.
Soon, we can stop running.
And finally, we can be together.
- As a…
- As a family.
Let's celebrate.
I made this batch by hand.
Well, you're not gonna
drug me again, are you?
You pour.
- It's tradition.
- What is?
You pour for your elders.
It's a sign of respect.
- Geonbae.
- Geonbae.
Mmm.
So, now that we're in good with Dawson…
…are you thinking you want
to go back to the States?
Is that what you want?
I don't know. Yeah, could be nice.
Do you think Eunju would go for that?
Huh.
Well, we'll figure it out together.
Okay, say that we are all together.
What am I supposed to do?
You can do anything.
You could go to college.
You could get a job.
Dad, I already have a job.
Rebecca…
It's the only thing I know how to do.
I'm good at it.
I like it.
No. Juno groomed you.
- She turned you into her personal weapon.
- [laughs]
- Dad…
- But you're so much more than that.
Dad, I'm the one who went to Juno.
No. She manipulated you.
She didn't force me into any of this.
But the people you killed…
People die.
Mom died.
You died.
[somber music playing]
Uh…
[cries]
Dad, I don't know what to do.
- I'm lost, I…
- Hey.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rebecca] Can we take them?
No. There are too many of them.
We got to move.
[exciting music playing]
You go first.
I'll meet you down by the river.
Go. Now.
[beeps]
[whirring]
[beeps]
[grunts]
[panting]

[suspenseful music playing]
[soaring, dramatic music playing]
