The girl who glowed like a field in spring

It's me.

It's been a while.

I need your help.

You left after rejecting me,

but now you want me to help you again?

Tell me what it is.

I don't know what they want from me.

They said it's something that I received from Seung-ryong Hong.

That something...

You have it.

After you find it,

call me back.

Take this with you.

Even if you did,

you wouldn't lose anything.

Are you giving this to me?

Thank you.

It's so pretty.

Mister!

I wear this every day,

thinking of you, Mr. Hyun-jun.

Mortal Mischief

Sergeant Hyun-jun Kim's Espionage

Hyun-jun Kim Wanted by Interpol for Murder

About a month ago,

you know we had guests from the North, right?

Yes. I know that a high-ranking official came.

Throughout the process,

the NSS was completely excluded.

It's unprecedented that the NSS was excluded

in such an important event

between South and North Korea.

Because I can't figure out

why the president excluded us, I'm confused.

Wouldn't it be the aftereffect of the Hungary incident?

Well...

Even allowing for that,

the fact that the president doesn't trust the NSS is pretty disturbing.

I've talked silly stuff to you.

The reason why I called you is

to talk about Seung-hee Choi.

She needs to return to her position.

I don't think it'll be easy.

Why?

She doesn't believe

that Hyun-jun's dead.

In her current state of mind,

I don't think she'll return to her position.

If she doesn't believe,

make her believe it.

That's your mission.

If she doesn't believe,

make her believe it.

That's your mission.

Oh...

We'll have an emergency meeting chaired by the director at 9:30 a.m.

Bring documents from overseas intelligence agencies.

Yes, sir.

What's a Light Aircraft Doing in the Water

A male in his 30s...

He's 178cm...

RH positive O?

Come and see me.

Do you have the medical records of Agent Hyun-jun Kim?

It's forbidden to even talk about Hyun-jun inside the NSS.

What could possibly be left of him?

I really need them.

Wait a second.

STOCK TRADING

Oh...

-What are you doing? -Gosh!

Come on!

You should knock before you come in.

I did knock, but you didn't notice.

REAL TIME STOCK CHART

Gosh...

Because of the information that you gave me last time, I'm about to go bankrupt.

You told me it'd double or even three times,

but I only have half of a half. You have to take responsibility for it.

Hey.

The investment should be made at your own discretion.

Who are you blaming now?

Then, were you going to share it with me if you had earned a profit?

Okay, just forget it. You always pick up such weird information.

By the way, what brought you here?

By any chance,

do you have the medical records of Hyun-jun Kim?

Of course not, I discarded everything.

Come on, why are you doing this to me? I already know that you have them.

If you carelessly talk about this,

we'll be in big trouble.

Understand?

I get it, so please just give it to me.

Seung-hee.

Now,

you won't even see me?

The Hungarian Intelligence Agency sent

the information of the body found in the crashed light airplane.

It matches

with Hyun-jun's medical records

that the NSS has kept.

Check it for yourself.

I'm deliberately delivering this cruel news to you,

who still believes Hyun-jun is alive.

It's because I want you

to completely scrape off your painful memories

from your heart and bring an end

to the feelings that you have for Hyun-jun.

That's the only way

that you can keep on living.

The person who saved me in Hungary said to me,

"In politics, nothing happens by accident.

If it happens,

you can bet it was planned that way."

He told me

what'd happened to me was intended by someone

and it would continue to happen.

As he said,

if it was really intended by someone,

I'm not sure why I had to be his target.

Tell me

what has happened.

It all started

with the defection of Seung-ryong Hong.

Our team helped

Seung-ryong Hong escape, who requested for political asylum,

and handed him over to the support team, which would head to South Korea.

However, before long,

we heard that Seung-ryong Hong was killed.

I took

-on another solo mission. -You have...

a solo mission.

My mission was

to assassinate President Seong-cheol Yun.

Although I succeeded in my mission,

I was wounded during the escape.

So I requested for the rescue team.

The person who came to rescue me was my friend,

who had been through a lot with me,

even before joining the NSS.

However,

the friend, who I thought had come to rescue me, pointed a gun at me,

saying it was an order.

Sa-woo.

I'm sorry.

It's an order.

Since then,

without even knowing the reason,

I was chased by both the North and South.

While being chased,

I called the person who abandoned me.

I told him that I'd come back alive without fail.

And if I did,

I would never forgive him.

But his answer was

that she was there.

The woman that I loved,

that I value more than my own life, was in Budapest.

I received the threats

that her fate would end up the same as mine.

I met Seung-hee,

and we tried to escape from Hungary together.

I'll check the train times. Don't move an inch and stay here.

However, during our escape,

Seung-hee died.

What I want to know is

not why you're here.

The man in Budapest at that time...

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

I tried to escape from Hungary in a light airplane,

but the plane was shot down by my friend and crashed.

I thought my life would end like that,

but when I opened my eyes,

I was at a hospital.

The person who told me

that everything that happened to me was intended by someone...

I realized that he had saved me.

I couldn't

even trust the person who had saved my life.

I escaped from that place and came to Japan.

Then, I prepared my revenge

on the people who had abandoned me.

When I was about to return to Korea,

I received a call from Yuki.

Mister...

-I learned that -The USB drive that you received

-the one who's trying to kill me is after -from Seung-ryong Hong.

the necklace I got from Seung-ryong Hong before.

This is

the necklace that I got in exchange for Yuki's death.

While listening to your story,

a few questions came to my mind.

Who killed Seung-ryong Hong,

who successfully defected and was handed over to the support team?

As far as I know,

Seung-ryong Hong's death has

nothing to do with the North.

Secondly,

it's about the death of President Seong-cheol Yun.

It was a diplomatic problem that could have led to war,

but it was quieted down too easily.

The President of the Supreme People's Assembly was killed

by a South Korean agent.

The North...

And the South...

They both covered up the case in a hurry. Why would they?

Lastly,

the person who was killed at the train station in Budapest...

That person...

The car explosion at that time was

not designed by the North, either.

If my guess is right,

the person who killed Seung-ryong Hong is the same

as the one who killed Yuki to get this necklace.

Also, it was not the South Korean government

that ordered you to kill President Seong-cheol Yun,

but it was an individual order from that person,

or the conspiracy of an unknown organization.

As it stands,

this necklace is

the only link, connecting everything.

Who is behind the murder of Seung-ryong Hong and Seong-cheol Yun?

Why were you selected,

and why were you abandoned?

I believe the clue to these questions

will be in here.

Why are you staying by my side?

There were many chances to kill me.

You could've killed me and gone back.

It's too late...

for me to go back.

Too late?

When I was 18,

I was selected as a candidate for the Supreme Guard.

Until I became an elite agent,

you could imagine

what kind of training I received

and what life I had to go through throughout seven years,

since you'd also received special trainings.

I endured all the hellish training,

but what I really couldn't stand was

to kill

people.

The prisoners on death row were sent to the training camp,

and as if we'd played hare coursing,

I killed them one by one.

And later,

I even killed the comrades, who had gone AWOL

from the training.

It was hard only in the beginning.

Even killing people became

easier and easier.

Killing people one after another,

I felt

my blood

and my heart were getting cold.

In the end,

when I could kill people with no emotions,

I became an official agent of the Supreme Guard.

Throughout those difficult years,

what kept me going was only

my mother

and my younger siblings.

But because of me,

they're all dead.

Therefore,

I have no reason

to go back.

The password has been solved.

Iris...

It seems like they already escaped.

It looks impossible to recover the data.

Damn it!

Hello.

We just raided their hideout,

but they had already escaped after burning all the data.

Bring back everything even if it looks insignificant.

Yes, I got it.

We found him!

Run!

This way!

Let me tell you my conclusion first.

The body found this time has

nothing to do with the Vladivostok case that Secretary Hwang is in charge of.

What?

Based on what?

Well...

It's my hunch.

Come on.

If you tell me like this,

how can I submit my report?

You should take care of it on your own.

Seriously, this is too much.

Hey, you!

You know...

I've been working here since your nose was dripping like faucet.

You punk, just accept my words when I tell you so, huh?

I understand.

The KCSI is supposed

to provide scientific grounds, but then... What's this hunch crap?

Well... That's...

because it's correct.

What about the results for our side?

It's not available yet?

Well, that's... I think that will take some time.

Why?

You don't have a hunch yet?

You punk...

If there's anything else to talk,

let's wrap up the meeting.

You know...

Today is Seung-hee Choi's birthday.

So?

I'd like to throw a surprise party for her.

Wow!

That's a great idea.

Seung-hee must be

in such a bad mood,

so let's call her out and get her some drinks.

Would she come out even if we called her? She won't.

I heard she doesn't even go to the florist and stays at home these days.

She won't come out.

If she doesn't come out,

we can go to her.

Right.

Oh...

Yeah, Mi-jeong is on the ball.

-Let's go! -You'll join us, right?

Ah, yes.

Yes, I think I should go.

She's not home, maybe?

She's home.

I did GPS tracking on her.

Way too good.

Let's go in.

Oh, just a second!

Let's wear these before we go in.

Oh, my!

-Ta-da! - This looks nice.

Please put these on. Hurry.

Here's yours.

-Please put this on. -Come on...

Should we seriously go this far?

Hurry up and just put it on. It's all for fun.

-Peekaboo. -Everybody looks good!

Really?

Okay, let's go in.

Let's go.

I think she's sleeping.

Seung-hee.

Seung-hee.

Are you sleeping already?

Seung-hee.

Seung-hee, wake up! Seung-hee!

Wake up!

What's the matter?

-Seung-hee! -What is it?

What's wrong with her?

Seung-hee.

Seung-hee, wake up!

Seung-hee.

Seung-hee!

Seung-hee, wake up! Seung-hee!

Seung-hee! Call an ambulance right now!

Seung-hee! Seung-hee, wake up!

Seung-hee!

YUSEOKSEON HOSPITAL

Because of dehydration, she seems to have a high fever.

For a couple of weeks, she will get an IV.

Let's wait and see how she's doing.

Yes.

You...

You're having such a hard time,

but I...

I'm sorry that I can't do anything.

What would it be like if it were Hyun-jun?

If...

If he were in my shoes,

what would he do?

It's me.

I've been waiting for you.

I have something that I want to ask you.

What is Iris?

You must have decoded the file

that you received from Seung-ryong Hong.

Couldn't you show me

the contents inside it?

I saved your life

and gave you a clue to decoding the file.

That will be enough

to give me a right to see the contents.

I'll ask you one more time.

What is Iris?

Iris is

a secret organization that has existed even longer

than you can imagine.

That organization derives

a lot of profit through disputes between nations and military expansion.

Are you talking about a military-industrial complex?

It's

a lot bigger than that.

Iris manipulates assassinations and terrorist attacks

and triggers disputes among countries.

They also possess the power

to overturn a government if it's acting against their interests.

To them, a nation is nothing but an object that can be beneficial to them or not.

In the North Korean government, not to mention in South Korea,

and in the military, I'm sure Iris exists.

What you've found out from decoding the file is

just the tip of the iceberg.

Nobody has figured out

the real identity of Iris so far.

They chose you,

they used you

and

they abandoned you.

Hand that file over to me.

I will help you take revenge.

Last time, when the guests came from the North,

you must have wondered

why the NSS was excluded throughout all the process.

It was the first time

that the NSS was totally excluded from the matter of South and North Korea.

To be honest, I was rather flustered.

What do you think the reason is?

Well...

I don't know.

The kidnapping of Seung-ryong Hong

and the assassination of Seong-cheol Yun,

the cases where the NSS was involved.

As you know,

the outcomes of the both incidents were not good.

The President...

doesn't seem to trust you.

The President offered

to hold a summit to the North, and their response is positive as well.

If you don't want the NSS to be left out from the summit,

you'll need a breakthrough that can earn the president's trust.

I'm not sure

how I'd be able to win his trust.

Look, Director Baek.

I know what a political person you are.

You don't have to pretend to be naive to me.

You know better

than anybody else

to regain the President's trust.

Right?

Have you heard about Ms. Choi?

Yeah.

Once she lost a strand of hope

that she was clinging onto,

she seems to have lost a will to live.

If she keeps going on,

I'm afraid something terrible may happen.

In order for a person to change,

they should hit bottom.

Do you know

what it means to hit bottom?

She'll overcome her sorrow

when it's scraped off from the bottom of her heart.

If she's going to hit bottom,

this much pain should be naturally accompanied, so don't worry.

You...

Do you like Seung-hee Choi?

No, sir.

Then, I'll excuse myself.

We received a call from Sun-hwa Kim.

She said she wants to see you.

But

she wants you to come alone.

It doesn't feel right. Let me accompany you.

No, that's fine.

I'm going alone.

Where is she?

She's in Shanghai, China.

I arrived in Shanghai.

Where should I go?

Okay.

This is a satellite picture of Yongbyon, North Korea.

After analyzing any changes in the nuclear facilities,

write a report.

Until when should I finish it?

It's urgent, so finish it quickly.

Gosh, I have a heap of work to do.

Don't whine.

I'm not whining.

I have to analyze communication tapping,

check the communication security for the Counter-terrorism Division,

and

the National Intelligence Service asked me for a background check.

What is this?

The Japanese Intelligence Office interrogated one Asian man,

and they assume he's a Korean and requested for the background check.

I'll do it for you, so you write a report.

Then, I'd be grateful.

Seriously...

I'll finish it as soon as possible.

Yes, come in.

You came at the right time.

Seung-hee Choi

will return to her position from today.

What's the matter?

Well...

I'll report it later.

It's been a long time, Sun-hwa.

Yes.

When did you come here?

It's been a little while.

I'm really sorry

about what happened

to your mother and Sun-mi.

I know you couldn't do anything about it, Lieutenant.

It's all my fault.

Why did you want to see me?

There's a place you need to go with me.

I'll tell you when we get there.

NANJING STREET

ANTIQUE STORE

Please sit down.

Why did you come to look for Chul-young Park?

San Baek and I needed help for my revenge.

Betrayal becomes a habit.

Stop talking nonsense.

Don't try to take my side any more.

The President's trump card is

the nuclear program.

He's Hyun-jun, right?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Dispatch the SWAT right away.

-Ma'am. -Yes.

I think I got something.

They're still inside the house.

You can't go now.

What did you do to Seung-hee?

Think about why we've come this far.

No one will believe you.

In politics, nothing happens by accident.

If something happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
