EPISODE 6

Hyun-jun.

Sa-woo.

SIX MONTHS LATER

You.

Why are you dressed like that?

I'm a bit depressed.

What?

What a...

Let her be.

I can't, sir.

The discipline here has been...

My kids are no different.

Nagging won't change anything.

It's better to just embrace the changes.

When private factories manufacture gun barrels,

they use a vise to fix the barrels

and a cutting tool

to carve striation.

It leaves unique traces on the barrels.

It's like fingerprints.

This is AKS-74U from Incheon.

And this is GSH-18 from Busan.

The ones we found are exquisite, but they were privately manufactured.

It seems like a large amount of this

will be smuggled into Korea soon.

Did you look into this?

Yes, sir.

With the main variables as possible entry date and shipping location,

I narrowed the ships down.

Why are there so many?

Are they really filtered?

How can we search them all in such a short time?

Kapula Sea that's scheduled to arrive soon

contains diplomatic pouches to be delivered to the Russian Embassy.

It might lead to diplomatic issues.

Do you have any good idea?

I wish Hyun-jun were here.

Then, we can use his hunch--

What?

I told you

to forget everything about him in the NSS.

Don't mention his name again.

Yes, sir.

I've taken care

of everything you'd ordered.

Those who're eliminated

will be listed as missing.

I can see

that you got used to working with me now.

A man who lets his conscience or sense of responsibility weaken his ambition

can never achieve anything.

Considering this,

I made the right decision

to choose you.

Don't you think so?

Back off.

I don't give a shit. Get lost!

The Office of the Inter-Korean Dialogue just reported

that the disconnected communications line has been restored.

It's very likely

that the halted working-level talks on economy

will be resumed in the near future.

It's good news.

We can breathe easy now.

Are there any other variables to worry about, then?

Those who claimed

that it's the South who assassinated

President Yun withdrew such allegation.

It seems like their internal conflict has been settled.

I believe

that there's no need to worry anymore.

Tensions between the South and the North almost brought about a war.

But as it shows signs of improvement,

it's a huge relief.

Thank you for your hard work.

Please call for a National Security Council meeting.

Yes, sir.

How is it? The gardeners here are very skillful, aren't they?

They know exactly which branches they should cut

to get desired shapes.

If it was neither the South nor the North,

who would be responsible for President Yun's assassination?

It is

difficult for me to assume.

Seung-ryong Hong and Seong-cheol Yun

both played a pivotal role in the North's nuclear program.

Their death reminds me

of what happened in the South when we were developing nuclear weapons.

The scientists and officials who participated in the nuclear program

died mysteriously.

I have a suspicion that there is an extremely powerful gardener

we do not know.

How is Seung-hee doing?

She severed contact with everyone

and shut herself up.

I think she finds it hard

to come to terms with Hyun-jun's death.

I used to have a cat a long ago.

One day, she came back home

severely wounded,

and hid herself in the corner of the dark basement.

When I tried to take her

out of the basement to treat her wound,

she scratched me.

Her serious wound

made her hard to trust even her owner.

I'm sure the way Seung-hee feels now

is the same as the cat who couldn't trust anyone.

Time will cure her.

What if her wound

worsens?

She's not that weak.

Don't worry.

Both Sa-woo

and you'll be in danger.

I can't do that.

I can't leave you here like this.

Seung-hee.

If you die, I'll die with you.

I can't leave by myself.

Yes.

I sent you the file.

It contains records of hospitals in Budapest,

but there's nobody who seems to be Hyun-jun.

I've gone through everything I've gathered,

but the chance of his survival is almost zero.

Why don't you give up here?

Seung-hee.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

Thank you for helping me. I'll hang up, then.

Right, I sent you one more file.

It's a photo I got from the Hungarian intelligence agency.

It has two North Korean agents who investigated President Yun's case.

They both work for the Supreme Guard.

REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT OF BAEKDU

HAIL DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Will you meet with her?

No.

He's up. He's awake!

He's awake! He's awake!

The life sometimes

is really harsh.

It's not your fault that Seong-cheol died.

Still, we absolutely need a scapegoat.

Why are you so quiet?

If someone should be held accountable for failing the guard,

it should be me.

Stop bullshitting and take a seat.

Nobody can bug

this room.

Any of tapping devices from the U.S. and Japan,

and even the surveillance of the Republic cannot access this room.

That means nobody knows what we say and whom we backbite in this room,

except you and me.

Although it might be a blemish on your career,

Seong-cheol Yun's death isn't necessarily bad for me.

It's because the initiative he had

in the nuclear program has fallen into my hands.

I'm sure you're well aware of the importance of nuclear weapon

to our Republic.

It's the Republic's

frantic last-ditch effort against the world.

I am planning

to make the most of the initiative in my hands.

If it's to recover the people's pride

which has been crushed and bruised,

I don't care where it is.

I'm firmly determined to aim the nuclear missile.

Both individuals and states sometimes have to make a decision and leave it

to chance when the future seems to be unpredictable.

I believe

you agree with me.

So I'm planning to reinstate you who has lost everything

due to Seong-cheol Yun's death.

What's my job?

There's no need to be in a rush.

Let's take time

and figure it out.

I have a favor to ask you.

Go ahead.

If there's a way

to save Agent Sun-hwa Kim--

If I put her out of prison

when I already saved you,

wouldn't it be too suspicious?

I'll think about it.

I heard that you recovered your consciousness.

That's a relief.

It means

we still have a chance.

Who are you?

I'm the one who saved your life.

Can you understand

the situation you're in now?

Former President Roosevelt who resigned once said this.

"In politics, nothing happens by accident.

If it happens,

you can bet it was planned that way."

You're not entangled in this plot by accident.

You're rather chosen

by those who will benefit from the incident.

Does it mean

you know who they are?

I know that the one who dragged you in this

and gave you the latest order

isn't working independently.

This conspiracy has begun much earlier than you think,

and it will continue.

Who are you?

Until I contact you again,

please focus on recovering your health.

There's something you should do in due time.

Seung-hee,

let's have dinner first.

Okay, let me finish this.

Gosh.

Now you've become an expert.

How long are you going to stay here?

For me, it's good if you stay here.

But don't you have to go back to where you're supposed to be?

This is where I'm supposed to be.

Stop such nonsense.

There are places that need your talents and capabilities.

You can't just live here digging holes.

You can stay here

only until you pull yourself together.

When your pain disappears

and you get over the past,

you must leave here.

Understood?

Make it quick and come inside. Let's have dinner.

Hurry.

Okay.

Do you enjoy working here?

Yes.

I think it suits me well.

Did you say it suits you?

So the best profiler in Korea found

a new talent in gardening.

It's pretty funny.

Things are hectic in the office these days.

A military working-level talks will be--

Sa-woo.

That no longer has

anything to do with me.

I'm not interested in it,

and it's not fascinating anymore.

What are these flowers?

They're irises.

In Korean, it's butkot .

It's pretty.

In Greek mythology,

the river that flows in front of hell is Iris.

For me,

it's not a pretty flower, but a sad flower.

Hyun-jun liked irises a lot.

I'm sorry. You'd do the same...

Don't move and just wait here.

You have

a solo mission.

You'll be able to play a critical role

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

You're not entangled in this plot by accident.

You're rather chosen

by those who will benefit from the incident.

I know that the one who dragged you in this

and gave you the latest order

isn't working independently.

This conspiracy has begun much earlier than you think,

and it will continue.

GUARD BUREAU ONE

Come in.

This is sent from Budapest.

This was taken when he crossed the border.

It's the last chance for you to survive.

He's in Japan now.

Go get him.

Don't push yourself.

If I wanted to, I would've killed you earlier.

If you don't want to die, you'd better drink this.

Stop chasing after me.

There's no more mercy next time.

Hello.

Hey.

Please get up.

It's you mister!

Hey!

Mister! What happened to you?

What happened to you? Mister! Wake up!

Mister! Mister!

From Budapest to Akita...

It must've been a long journey.

Who is it?

Hachioji intersection, 09120249#

It was hard to find you.

You haven't forgotten

my voice, have you?

Why did you have to find me?

As I said in Hungary,

we have something to do together.

I'm not interested.

So you chose revenge, then?

There's a saying that a journey of revenge requires you to dig two graves.

One is for your enemy,

and the other one is for yourself.

Don't look for me anymore.

I'll hang up.

Let me ask you one last time.

Will you really not join me?

Hey!

Where have you been?

I've been waiting for you.

Let's go home.

Let's go, are you okay?

Come out.

Is it you again?

You'll really lose your life.

Shut up.

Do you think

I'd be grateful because you saved me once?

You got me wrong.

Don't move.

I told you.

There's no mercy anymore.

Kill me.

Just kill me.

Why are you doing this to me?

I tried to kill you.

Why do you

keep me alive?

What about you?

What are you doing this for?

Go back.

I've got nowhere to go back.

If I fail to kill you,

I have no place to go.

Kill me, then.

But not now.

There's something I must do.

When it's done,

do whatever you want.

If you don't want to die, you'd better drink this.

Why are you doing this to me?

I tried to kill you.

Why do you

keep me alive?

What about you?

What are you doing this for?

Excuse me.

Is there anything

I can help you with?

Thanks, Yuki. You can leave it there.

I have no idea what to choose.

No, not this one.

Let's buy this one. Looks delicious.

-Excuse me, we want this one. -Okay, a moment please.

No, no.

Put it down.

I'm sorry.

Hold it like this.

There's a sad myth about this statue.

What is it?

You just said

that there's a sad myth about this statue.

I don't believe myths.

The North's Attempt to Bring Regime Change by Assassinating Yun

But not now.

There's something I must do.

When it's done,

do whatever you want.

I'm going to be away for a while.

I'm going to be away for a while Sun-hwa

Seung-hee.

Hey, come in.

I got something to tell you.

Do you remember Sun-hwa Kim?

She's arrested.

There was an armed runaway soldier

from legion 360 in Sokcho, Gangwon,

and the military police happened to catch her

when they were tracking the soldier.

She's being transferred to the NSS now.

According to the police report,

she possessed two Russian Makarov pistols

when she was captured.

And what's weird is

that there were documents

about Director Baek in her possessions.

Even if she's a special agent,

Having information about the NSS...

especially the detailed one about the Deputy Director is strange.

Don't you think?

Ma'am!

Have you been doing well?

We haven't been doing well without you.

So you came back to the NSS?

No. I came to visit Director Baek.

See you later.

She looks even better.

What?

Why don't you come back to work now?

Seung-hee.

I came here to ask a favor to Director.

What is it?

Allow me to meet with Sun-hwa Kim.

Where did you

get that information from?

You're not an agent now.

We can't let you interrogate such important suspect.

Sir.

There are rules and procedures that must be abided by.

If you really want to do it,

return to duty officially.

Others can do this job besides you.

So did you find out anything?

Please give me a chance.

Stop being irrational.

You know better that you can't.

Sir.

Go meet her.

Give her what she needs.

Sun-hwa Kim.

You had...

this photo with you, right?

Why?

Where did you...

get this photo from?

What I want to know

is not why you came here.

The guy in Budapest...

I want to know if he's alive or not.

Is he alive?

I don't know.

I'm not interrogating you now,

but begging you.

Please tell me.

Seung-hee!

Open the door!

Seung-hee Choi!

Open the door now!

Seung-hee!

Open the door right now!

I guess I have to stop here.

Seung-hee Choi!

They will come in

and interrogate you now.

Seung-hee!

Even if you've received special trainings,

you know that you won't be able to stand it.

Seung-hee, open the door now!

-Seung-hee! -I'm sure we'll meet again.

Open the door right now!

Seung-hee!

Open the door!

Seung-hee!

Open it right now!

Seung-hee!

I said open the door!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry.

Take charge of the interrogation.

Ma'am.

Can you spare a moment?

You meet Seung-hee

from time to time, right?

Yes.

She's my friend.

I know that... you're leaking information from the NSS.

I guess you didn't take it seriously because it was Seung-hee.

But that's why it's more problematic.

-What do you mean? -Because of the information you leaked,

Seung-hee can be in danger.

I'm warning you.

Don't ever do that again.

It's paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation caused by toxic substance.

Call an ambulance now.

We need permission because she's an important suspect.

Can't you just do it here?

I can't. Get permission right now!

Her heartbeat started slowing down.

-Vasopressin, two milliliters. -Got it. Injecting two milliliters.

Shall we resume, then?

Where is Hyun-jun?

Hyun-jun is dead!

Everyone knows that!

If you take my offer,

you can be free.

If you bring it to me,

Yuki will be safe.
