Elite agents of the special force, Hyun-jun and Sa-woo

are as close as real brothers.

Hyun-jun, while attending a graduate school by orders of superiors,

meets Seung-hee there and falls in love with her.

But her sudden disappearance frustrates him.

Sa-woo is introduced to Seung-hee by his hometown friend Sang-hyun

and also falls for her.

Then, one day,

Hyun-jun and Sa-woo are taken by unknown men

and they undergo harsh tests.

After several special training sessions, they join the NSS.

On their first day at the NSS,

they meet Seung-hee

and find out their encounters with Seung-hee had been planned.

Although they feel offended,

they fail to get rid of their feelings for her.

Hyun-jun suddenly kisses Seung-hee

who coldly keeps her distance from Hyun-jun.

Since then, they quickly become close.

As their first mission,

they chase after Takashi, a terrorist,

and while on the mission,

they save the life of Myung-ho Cho, a leading presidential candidate...

EPISODE 3

What's the matter?

I think I've been here before.

When?

I don't know.

Gosh.

Stop fooling around and come sit here. He'll be here soon.

President Cho will be here soon.

The President will be here soon.

What's your name?

Hyun-jun Kim.

What do you want to be in the future?

I'll become Superman and protect earth.

They are both nuclear physicists from MIT,

who own the core skill that can put a nuclear development into practical use.

I owe you a lot.

What's wrong with you?

Now I remember it.

I've been here before.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I think he's a little nervous.

Please make yourself comfortable.

Welcome.

I'm Sa-woo Jin.

I'm Hyun-jun Kim.

It's you two

who made it possible for me to be here.

We were just doing our job.

Please, take a seat.

I heard that you aren't security guards of the Blue House.

Then, do you work for the National Intelligence Service?

Well, we work for the NSS.

The NSS...

I will explain it later, sir.

You timid boy.

You were so intimidated by the President.

By the way,

the President seemed like he wasn't aware of the NSS.

How is it possible?

I haven't heard about it at all.

That's right, sir.

I also came to know about its existence not long ago.

The NSS was founded

in 1976.

At that time, the Central Intelligence Agency

and the Defense Security Command handled the national security issues.

However, double agents from the CIA of the U.S. were

in both agencies.

They bugged and kept a watch on the Blue House.

Former President Chung-hee Park,

proceeded nuclear development. You're aware of it, right?

Yes.

That is why

he needed an absolutely reliable agency

which could escape the vigilance of the US.

This is how the NSS was established.

Since then,

the NSS has taken the lead in the nuclear development

and taken care of Presidents' security

and the national security issues

in absolute secrecy during several administrations.

It was the NSS

that assassinated the spy in 1996

who killed Consul General Kwon-sik Choi.

And in 1997,

they traced the murderer of North Korean defector Young-han Lee

all the way to Dandong, China

and assassinated him.

I worked for the Intelligence Committee

for 12 years when I was a congressman.

Does it make sense that I wasn't aware

of such agency at all?

The NSS is a secret agency operated under the NIS,

and only very few people are aware of the NSS

even within the NIS.

It's the only agency in the nation

that operates a satellite

rented from Russia.

Of course,

this is a top secret

that the US and Japan are not aware of.

Do you think the agency must be maintained?

I'm confident that the NSS will be

the most useful agency during your tenure.

How did it go?

Does it mean

we should disband the agency?

No.

Not really.

I am sure

he'll take some time to ponder upon it.

If

he asks for your advice,

tell him that the NSS must be maintained.

-I think-- -Your opinion

doesn't count here.

It's so good.

Excuse me, can we have another bottle?

How was the Blue House?

Well...

Sa-woo said

you were so nervous that you even stammered there.

Is that true?

Wow, even this arrogant Hyun-jun becomes intimidated before the President.

What are you doing tomorrow?

If you're free, let's go somewhere.

Where?

Let's go to refresh.

Where are we?

I grew up here.

You grew up in this church?

No, in that orphanage.

CHILDREN'S HOME

You must've searched my background

when you recruited me and Sa-woo.

Haven't you found this?

No.

There was no record before you enlisted in the special force.

I found it weird

when the officials rejected

-my request for the rest of your records. -I see.

I heard that I came here when I was seven.

I lived here until I moved on to high school.

I lived by myself

when I attended high school and college.

What about before you came here?

I don't know. I don't remember.

Actually, that's why I came here today.

Father.

Michael!

How have you been?

You haven't called me in a while.

I thought you cut all the ties with me.

I am sorry.

I'd been busy since I started working

after I was discharged from the army.

Right.

This is my colleague at work.

Hello. I am Seung-hee Choi.

She's beautiful.

Will you marry her?

That's what I hope for.

But we've just started dating.

Do you like your job?

Yes.

Actually,

I came here to ask you something.

What?

I want to know how I ended up here

and who my parents were.

Can you tell me if you know about it?

You'd never asked me about it.

Why do you want to know about it all of a sudden?

I also want to know

why I never wondered about it.

I think I tried

to erase all the memory I had

before I came here.

It's weird that I have no single clue.

It feels like...

I had amnesia since I don't remember anything.

I found it very weird that I'd never tried to remember my past

up until now.

What do you think about this?

Who are my parents?

Please tell me what happened to me.

It was a city hall worker who brought you here,

and there was no record about you at all.

You just didn't say a word

like an aphasic,

as if you were immensely shocked.

I think it took about a year

for you to start adapting to the life here.

Did you find it out?

What happened?

He said he didn't get any record.

That's strange.

Both the NSS and this church don't have your past record.

Does it mean you fell from heaven?

Holy Mother,

will it be okay for me to fall in love with such mysterious guy?

What did she say?

She said such past isn't important at all.

It's me.

Hyun-jun just visited me.

He wanted to know about his parents

and how he got here.

No.

He didn't seem to know about it.

Okay.

Come in.

Did you receive the message?

What message?

The President wants you to come over.

You've been working for the NSS

since its establishment?

Yes, sir.

Frankly, I'm skeptical about the necessity

of such organization nowadays.

What do you think?

Is it still necessary?

That's not something I can decide.

We're always ready to carry out your orders

at the risk of our lives.

Besides that,

we never make any political judgement.

Good.

Let me ask you one last question.

I heard that the NSS took the initiative

in nuclear development when President Park was in office.

How far did the technologies go?

To my knowledge,

the NSS almost completed the nuclear weapon program.

Is that true?

That's what I heard.

I heard that when the new military took the government,

it abandoned the nuclear weapon program in order to gain recognition

for its legitimacy from the US.

Is that true?

As far as I know, yes.

Where is it?

The technology to build nuclear weapons

that was almost realized.

Although it was abandoned,

it didn't vanish, right?

That's...

beyond my jurisdiction. So I don't know.

NATIONAL SECURITY SERVICE

Sa-woo.

Secretary Park wants to see you.

-Why? -Why?

I don't know, but please hurry.

Did you want to see us?

Yes.

Hey,

you guys get off-days as a reward.

Gosh, I am not so sure if you deserve it.

What do you mean? We saved the President's life.

Hey,

it was nothing but a pure luck.

It's so embarrassing that I couldn't talk about it to others.

You know heaven helps those who help themselves.

Bingo, isn't she right?

She is.

Gosh, you little brats.

Hey, get out of here. Get out of my sight.

What are you going to do?

Well, I haven't really...

What about you, Seung-hee?

Well, I have a plan.

This is a rare chance.

I hope we three can go on a trip.

Yes, Mother.

Let's go on a trip to Japan. OK?

It's okay.

What?

I checked it.

Okay.

I'll get down to it right away.

Please relax and wait a while.

Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

Il-jung Kim.

We're exposed!

Someone infiltrated into this place!

What are you talking about?

They found me!

What?

Hey.

Shao-wang, answer me.

Go get the car and get ready to escape.

Yes, sir.

The front gate is blocked. Let's move to the back gate.

-Yes, sir. -Let's move.

I don't think I can make it.

I hope Comrade Seung-ryong Hong finishes this.

I'm also being spied on around the clock.

I can't even dare to contact the South...

Who...

Who are you?

You have

the Iris list.

What are you talking about?

I've got nothing to do with it.

I found nothing here.

Now we need to get rid of Seung-ryong Hong.

Hello.

Yes.

Hold on.

Honey,

it's from your company.

He said it's urgent.

Hello. What happened?

This is Seung-ryong Hong, a member of Guidance Bureau 131 of Workers' Party.

As you know, Guidance Bureau 131

is in charge of the overall nuclear development.

And Seung-ryong Hong is

a leading figure

in the bureau.

A leading figure?

Give me more detail.

He's a scientist who took the lead in the nuclear weapon development.

Why did he flee from the North?

All of this happened so suddenly,

hence we haven't found that out yet.

When and where is he heading to?

He's in Ukraine now,

and it seems like he'll move to Hungary soon.

Hungary?

Gosh, too many monsters.

Run, now!

Go, go.

Tae-sung!

Yes, sir.

Summon those on vacation now. It's an emergency.

What happened, sir?

It's Code Orange.

Summon them, now .

Orange?

INUKIA HOTEL

Wow.

Thank you.

Please enjoy your time here.

Wow.

Gosh.

It's wonderful.

Hyun-jun, come here.

We can see the entire lake.

Hyun-jun.

Dear me.

What are you doing?

I'm so tired.

I want to have a deep sleep.

Then, let's have a bath first.

What?

Together?

What are you thinking?

You pervert.

Get up.

Hello.

I heard that there is a famous hot spring around here.

Do you know where it is?

If you go straight, you'll see it on your left.

Thank you.

He's handsome.

Let's go.

Look at the snow.

It's exactly what I had imagined.

Very nice.

I'm so tired. I'll enjoy hot bath all day long.

Welcome. Please come in.

Thank you.

What happened, sir?

You should fly to Hungary right away.

By myself?

Hyun-jun and Seung-hee must go with you,

but I can't reach them now.

Both of them?

I'll send them as soon as I reach them.

You should depart now.

We'll issue the command when you get there.

Meet me here when you finish.

Okay. See you.

Okay.

MEN WOMEN

MEN

CONTACT FRONT DESK FOR A PRIVATE POOL

-I'm sorry. -Gosh.

Sorry!

I saw nothing.

What was that?

But I did use the right exit.

WOMEN

I got it right, too.

You must be confused.

No, I got it right.

Are you not going in?

I will.

What about you?

You said you'll enjoy hot bath all day.

You're tired, aren't you?

Didn't I tell you?

I heard that foot bath is

much healthier.

Dear me.

Gosh.

Be a man.

It's not...

I'll go in first, then.

Okay.

Gosh.

It's that girl we just met.

Thank you for waiting.

What is your name?

I'm Yuki.

Thank you.

Thanks, Yuki.

Have a good time.

You want some sake?

Good.

Tae-sung.

Did Hyun-jun and Seung-hee pick up the phone?

I'm still trying to reach them.

Is that all you can do now?

Send an agent and bring them back!

Yes, sir.

Wow.

This is a snowy country.

I feel like I'm inside a novel of Yasunari Kawabata.

I'm so fed up with snow.

I had to march about 400km

along the snowy roads when I was in the force.

It was awful.

You just spoiled the mood.

Ouch!

You're so dead.

By the way,

I have a question.

What is it?

Why did you

kiss me all of a sudden that night?

Was it defiance against me

or love?

I didn't mean to kiss you.

When I saw you

bombarding rough words with your pretty lips,

I just wanted to stop it.

Then, I'll have to keep using such rough words.

Stop!

I'm Sa-woo Jin from Korea.

Let's get out.

This way.

Right. I need to buy something. Wait here.

Just a second.

PUB

In memory of Hyun-jun and Seung-hee's trip

You're so childish.

I love being childish.

What?

Why?

What do you want?

Stop beating around the bush and give it to me.

Isn't that for me?

This one?

There's no need to be shy.

Did you...

Did you also forget to bring your underwear?

It's for men.

Do you still want it?

You can wear it if you want.

Gosh.

Did you expect

candies as a White Day's gift?

This is unbelievable.

Is it funny to you?

What's wrong with you? That's so childish.

I said I like being childish, didn't I?

Are you serious?

Really?

Gosh.

You're driving me crazy.

PUB

You got nothing for me?

Are you happy now?

My goodness...

I'll sleep on this side.

It's uncomfortable there.

Can you pass me my pillow?

Why are you staring at me?

Here it is.

Thanks.

I think...

What are you laughing at?

Why?

Why are you laughing?

I'm hungry.

Good morning.

I'm starving.

It looks good.

When did you learn this?

I do this all the time.

You've changed.

Shut it.

Do I look that pretty?

Just eat up.

I've never seen you all flushed like now.

Ma'am,

hurry to the meeting room.

Yes.

Yes, they just got here.

Okay.

What happened to you?

You know

you must always remain in touch for emergency!

I'm sorry, sir.

Did you hear about your mission?

Not yet, sir.

These are tickets for Hungary.

Depart now.

He's Seung-ryong Hong.

He's in charge of the nuclear development strategies of the North.

He asked for political asylum.

Where is he now?

He's in Hungary.

He's under our agent's protection now.

Why did such key figure ask for asylum?

Don't we have to be suspicious of his intention first?

Besides,

we are at such a sensitive time

to grant him asylum.

We need to take

cautious approaches not to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding

or troubles among the parties.

I want to hear your opinion.

We've sent agents to the scene to analyze the credibility

of his request for asylum.

I think you need to make a decision

after the result comes out.

BALATON STATION

Confess the truth to me.

Or you'll be dead.

Where did you go on vacation?

Japan.

Akita.

Who accompanied you?

Do you have a death wish?

It was Seung-hee.

Was it good?

It was fantastic.

You bastard.

You said you met the love of your life

at the graduate school.

That's Seung-hee.

You're the only one that knows about this. So keep it secret.

I'll hold my lips tight,

but office romances are never easy.

That's why

I'm planning to make her move in after this mission.

You're going to marry her?

Yes.

Sa-woo!

Oh...

Please leave us alone.

You made a difficult decision.

Still,

I need to know exactly what your intention

behind your request for asylum is.

I might have to ask you rude questions.

I hope you understand.

You went to Jaeil Middle and High School,

and majored in nuclear physics in Kimilsung University.

You even obtained a doctorate from LMU in Germany.

You must've been a powerful elite.

Is the watch you're wearing

about 20 years old?

You are a single-minded man, who dislike changes and adventures.

In other words,

you rarely react to external stimuli and have a strong sense of loyalty.

You tend to remain complacent with your position within an organization.

I'm sure the party had high hopes for you...

because you were a core member

of Guidance Bureau 131.

I've heard you have a great affection for your daughter

as she's not only a late, but also an only child.

You're well aware that your future hangs

on your decision, right?

Okay.

I got it.

The analysis is done.

I guess you have difficulties in making a decision.

Well...

I'm sure it will cause political tension.

What do you think?

Do you think

I can go with you?

I'm sorry, but we're not in a position to make a judgement.

What decision do you think he'll make?

Wouldn't he decline the request?

Politics isn't that simple,

is it?

Deputy Director Baek.

President Cho wants to see you.

I will grant him asylum.

It'll bring about a huge political impact.

I'm aware of it.

But I really want to meet with Seung-ryong Hong.

I'm very interested in nuclear weapon program.

I want to revive the nuclear development technology

that we stopped working on.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

It's so awkward.

Why do they take so long to make the decision?

I heard

that you went on a trip to Japan.

Did Hyun-jun tell you?

Yes.

How can an agent fail to keep his mouth shut that easily?

Hyun-jun said

he'll marry you.

You know we can't get married now.

He's gotten carried away again.

Then,

are you going to marry him

someday anyway?

Well...

Making plans for the future is

pretty useless for agents like us.

Still,

I want to get married in good time.

I know Hyun-jun

very well.

He's nothing but a weirdo.

You must be prudent.

I know.

But

I'm an expert in fixing weirdos.

Are you religious?

No, I'm not.

I see.

I am.

It's paradoxical that I, who's from the North, believe in God

but you, from the South, don't.

There's an old saying.

"Live your life

as if there is God.

If God exists,

you gain all.

If God doesn't exist,

you lose nothing."

Please take this.

You'll lose nothing anyway.

The decision is made.

We'll take you.

What is that?

What the heck is that?

Watch out.

What was that?

What the...

Why did they choose this place? It's such an open place.

Hungary is at the very center of Europe.

We can fly anywhere from here.

We can go to Swiss, Paris

and even Frankfurt.

Hello.

Please have a safe trip.

Who are you?

What?

You know what I want.

Give it to me.

Why are you doing this to me?

What are you asking for?

There's an old saying.

"Live your life

as if there's God.

If God exists,

you gain all."

What is that?

Nothing.

You have

a solo mission.

Now, the guard level is upgraded to the first level.

K1 got injured in action.

Please tell me.

He's an Asian in his thirties.

Request an urgent investigation to the police.
