EPISODE 4

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?

What is that?

Nothing.

What do you mean you failed it?

Seung-ryong Hong and three of our agents who were sent to escort him are all dead.

Is North Korea responsible for this?

We're trying to figure it out.

Is there any possibility that the North found out

that we granted him asylum?

So far, the North hasn't shown any reaction.

It's regretful that we've lost a great chance

to grasp the current status of the North's nuclear development.

Please settle the situation quickly so it doesn't cause any further trouble.

Yes, sir.

Where is Seung-hee Choi?

She's waiting in Balaton to be ordered home with Hyun-jun and Sa-woo.

-Should I call them? -Let her be.

What is it called again?

Goulash.

-Is it good? -Yes.

Do you want to try some?

How unsophisticated you are.

You brat, don't you have to get used to her taste?

I'd rather give up on her if she forces me to change my taste.

You want more?

It's for you.

Hello.

All right, sir.

Who is it?

I'm have a mission.

What mission?

I don't know. He just said where to go.

Why are you so startled?

I didn't know you'd come here.

Seung-ryong Hong is dead.

All our agents were also found dead.

From what we've gathered so far,

it seems to be the retaliation of the North.

Let's take a walk.

Have you heard

about Pan-European Picnic?

In 1989,

Hungary, a then-communist country,

opened its borders

to exile thousands of East Germans

to West Germany.

This led to

the fall of the Berlin Wall,

and to the end of the Cold War.

You have

a solo mission.

Just like Hungary played a pivotal role

in the reunification of Germany, you'll be able to play the same role

in reunifying the Korean Peninsula if you succeed in your mission.

Can I ask you something?

Sure. What is it?

Since when did you and Hyun-jun become close?

I didn't notice it at all.

I think

we had a good feeling toward each other from the beginning.

We've become serious

since we visited the deputy director's house

on Hyun-jun's first day at the NSS. We--

We had our first kiss on that night.

What mission is it?

It's a solo mission.

What about us?

He said you can just enjoy your vacation.

I don't have much time left to spend with Seung-hee.

Aren't you busy?

Fine, dude.

Ouch.

Why does it have to be a solo mission?

It's an easy one.

Isn't this so pretty?

I like this one, too.

This one?

Its design is very unique.

How did they make it?

Let's go.

It's a tarot card reading.

Why not?

Try it.

No. If the reading isn't favorable, it'll only hurt my feeling.

You don't have to believe it. Let me try, then.

Well...

So we're destined to be together.

Let's go.

We've become serious

since we visited the deputy director's house

on Hyun-jun's first day at the NSS. We...

We had our first kiss on that night.

Hey, hey.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Are you leaving early in the morning?

Yes.

Why?

You know what? You've been nervous all day long.

No, I haven't.

Don't worry about me. I'll come back soon.

Please take care.

I will.

Good night.

Good night.

Hyun-jun.

You didn't sleep?

Oh, you got up early.

Yes.

What is the mission about?

EX.

Who's the target?

Deputy Director is here in Hungary now.

Go ask him if you want to know.

Gosh.

Sa-woo.

Yes.

If something goes wrong with me--

Stop that bullshit.

Why are you so nervous today?

I heard that a lot today.

You know I never get nervous.

Get me a cup of coffee.

I'll go take a shower.

Okay.

Who is the assassination target?

It's Seong-cheol Yun.

The President of the Supreme People's Assembly Presidium?

Right.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask this,

but what's the reason?

ICBM.

North Korea has been

developing projectile technologies rapidly up until now.

Now they're just an inch away

from finishing a missile that's capable of attacking the U.S. directly.

The last step left is nuclear warhead miniaturization.

To realize it,

Seong-cheol Yun will have a secret meeting with the officials

from the former Soviet Union countries here in Hungary.

We can't just sit back

and watch the North become a nuclear power.

The total number of the agents from the Supreme Guard

in Budapest now is 20 including me.

The NBH and the Hungarian police are coordinating with us,

and 15 guards of the Bureau One

will also fly here by the plane

that will depart from Pyeongyang.

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

What happened?

We got intelligence that there will be an assassination attempt.

What do we do now?

Well...

We should meet Deputy Director first.

Is he here?

Yes. I heard it from Hyun-jun.

Then,

is Hyun-jun's solo mission assigned directly from Deputy Director?

Yes.

Give me a report on the situation of the square every two hours.

Yes, sir.

Where are the snipers?

I've placed them

in a triangular position, so their ranges are overlapped by one another.

What about that building?

We will completely close the building.

Personal information and identities of the staff?

All checked.

I even went through those who'd been here during the last 15 days.

You must keep track of movements of agents from South Korea.

Yes, sir.

See if we can jam satellite transmissions between South Korea and the U.S. that day.

Yes, sir.

Place a sniper here, too.

Yes, sir.

GUARD OF ORDER POLICE

Hello.

They heightened the security by placing the Hungarian intelligence agents.

And the North Korean agents are already placed in positions.

I got it.

I'll call you again.

Is there something wrong?

It's nothing.

What's TK1's solo mission?

Do we have to back him up?

Sir.

Just wait a little while.

Consider this a vacation

and have some rest.

Yes.

The plan will never be changed.

Finish it.

Yes, sir.

I'm afraid that something might have gone wrong.

We've been on standby for two days, without a clue about the mission.

Do you have any idea about Hyun-jun's mission?

Don't worry.

He'll make it.

What is she saying?

It's nothing special.

What can I bring for you?

Why don't you have some?

It's okay.

Have you heard of something called khleb ?

It's Russian black bread.

When I was studying in Moscow at the age of 22,

I barely lived off that tasteless and hard bread for a month.

On the freezing winter nights in Moscow,

I was shivering

in my room without a heater.

I thought the Korean reunification was around the corner.

That's what kept me going.

I got it.

Situation report.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

One minute to operation.

Final report.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

On standby.

P5, report again.

On standby.

Maintain current positions and keep a close eye on P5.

He's getting off the car now.

Code red!

Cover President Yun now!

Code red!

President Yun!

President Yun!

Are you okay, sir?

Ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

It's the emergency stairway on the north side. Find the exit.

Yes, sir.

Get him!

Yes. Continue the pursuit.

He's over there.

Stop the car.

Block the subway stations within a three-kilometer radius.

He's Asian in his 30s.

Request an urgent investigation to the police.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I saw a guy bleeding...

Which one? Where?

I've succeeded in the mission.

I'm hiding in the safe house.

I've been shot, so I can't escape by myself.

I'm requesting a rescue.

What are you talking about?

Are you not aware that it's highly likely

to be exposed by the enemy if we send more agents there?

I am, but...

For now,

it's impossible

to escape this place.

All I can say to you now

is to comply with the rules for agents.

Sir,

I have a reason that I must return alive.

Please help me.

Sir.

Sir.

Did you want to see me, sir?

TK1 got injured in action.

It'll be problematic if he gets caught.

I think he's somewhere in this building.

I heard that this statue has a sad story.

A beautiful lady named Tatsuko lived here.

One day, she drank from the Fountain of Youth

and fell under a spell,

becoming a guardian dragon of Lake Tazawa.

Just like her,

Taro also

became a guardian dragon of Lake Towada over there.

The two who were separated

meet here

in this lake every winter.

Because of their everlasting love,

this lake

never freezes over in cold weather.

So the two

who just wanted to love each other

ended up being monsters in different places.

Monsters?

You're right.

Monsters.

That makes it even sadder.

What's sad?

Our job.

If we keep going like this,

I feel like both of us

will end up being monsters someday.

Should we quit our jobs?

You know we can't, no matter how much we want to.

Would you like to take a sip?

Where are TK1 and TK2 now?

Please tell me.

Sir!

Fly back to Korea on the first flight tomorrow.

It's an order.

Hello.

Call them immediately.

You're here.

What's on earth is this out of the blue?

TOP SECRET DOCUMENT

TOP SECRET DOCUMENT

How reliable is this document?

This report is written based on a special report sent

to a Hungarian news agency and the statements made by witnesses.

We're convinced that the incident really took place.

I understand that the North's military, which aimed a regime shift,

is behind the assassination of Seong-cheol Yun.

But the rumor that the South is involved in this is total nonsense.

Does it mean

it's South Korea that directed the assassination?

It says some conservatives who want to maintain the tension

between the South and the North are engaged in this.

This information is from a credible source,

so we're trying to figure it out using all the available channels.

Where is Deputy Director Baek?

He's in Hungary right now.

Shouldn't we find out what really happened to come up with countermeasures?

Before the press releases speculative articles,

we must completely identify the details of the incident.

Yes, sir.

Il-young Lim and Jae-beom Ahn are in Ukraine, right?

Yes, sir.

Tell them to fly to Budapest right away

and report back on the actions of the police and military there.

Yes, sir.

Mi-jeong, what are you doing now?

I'm requesting the Japanese and the U.S. agencies for information.

Gather all the unofficial data

including articles on personal blogs and online communities run by Hungarians

in Budapest and its periphery.

Yes, sir.

Is his location identified?

Room 204 was rented out three days ago by an unidentified tenant.

What about other rooms?

That's the only room rented

on the second floor.

Is the entrance to the building secured?

Yes, it's all set.

Get moving.

Things got bad.

Let's talk about it later and get out of here right now.

If we go to the landing field we took Seung-ryong,

we'll be able to escape.

Sa-woo.

I am sorry.

I'm under orders.

I'm under orders.

If I fail to catch him, you should chase him down until the end.

What's the reason?

Where's Hyun-jun's desk?

What are you doing?

He is charged with espionage.

If I stay with you,

both Sa-woo and you'll be in danger.

I can't leave you here like this.

Seung-hee.

Hyun-jun is dead!

Everyone knows that!

You're the only one who doesn't!
