Episode 5

Are you feeling alright?

Yes. I'm okay.

Let's go already. The plane is leaving soon.

I'm going to check out.

- Soo Hyun. - Yes?

Ji Woo had a lot of hardships.

Don't give her anymore.

Please.

We will not meet again.

Be happy, dad.

Ari.

Hello.

Welcome home!

I'm home.

You must be tired.

Go get some rest.

I'm sorry, dad.

To tell you the truth, I wasn't on a business trip to Hong Kong...

I know already.

Your father...

Did you meet him?

Yes.

When we first came to Korea, you were merely a 12-year old girl.

But now you are old enough to be married.

We lived together for a very long time.

Isn't that right?

You were a very pretty and nice girl.

I was very happy to have a daughter like you.

Dad!

Now, go to your real father. I'm okay.

I don't want to.

I told you already.

I don't have any other dads.

It's okay now.

I want to keep memories as just memories.

At this time of the day, Mt. Nam...

is pleasant.

Just tell me what you want.

Personally, it feels like a waste to let you go like this.

That's why I'm going to offer you a deal.

If you complete this task, you can reacquire your NIS agent status.

What is that?

Undercover.

Becoming an undercover agent.

Cheongbang is a much larger organization than you think.

If we don't approach them with preparedness and persistence, it's hard to fight them.

When did you kick me out of the group?

And now you want me to become a Cheongbang sidekick?

Don't you have a special incentive?

Your mom's case, I mean.

That kind of personal grudge is grounds for disqualification as an agent,

but can serve as a great incentive when performing dangerous tasks.

It's not a task that can be completed just with a sense of responsibility.

What if I refuse?

I'm giving you a chance right now.

The last chance to change your fate.

It's Lee Soo Hyun.

What is this?

How is Soo Hyun a part of this plan?

He was the right person for the job, that's all.

He's part of the plan laid out by the overseeing team. You'll understand soon.

Soo Hyun can't!

Can't?

I don't know about anyone else, but he can't.

He only has the thought that he wants to avenge his parents!

If personal feelings take over that dangerous of a task...

How about you, Director Kang?

Are you disagreeing without any personal feelings?

It sounds to me like you just don't want to send your son on a dangerous task.

Yes.

I don't want to.

We can't use his anger like this.

Look, Director Kang.

With your wide experience, how can you say that?

Do you think our work goes exactly like our job description?

A few days ago, one of our employees released a classified document.

Do you know about it by any chance?

It wasn't a critical document, so I gave orders to ignore it for now.

It was Agent Kang Min Gi's doing, wasn't it?

I know about it.

You can take care of it according to our policies.

Do we really need to?

I'm also ready to quit my job.

Leave Soo Hyun alone.

He's already determined.

If he changes his mind, I'll also reconsider.

Father.

Are you surprised that I came instead of the boss?

I was going to tell you.

It's still not too late.

If you give up, this plan can be canceled.

I don't have too much time left.

Soo Hyun!

You have to give up everything you've lived for!

Your name, your memories, and everyone you loved!

It's about your existence disappearing!

I'm not going there to die.

I'm going to come back after I complete the task.

Do you even have a clue how hard the task is going to be?

You have to become friends with those you hate.

If you meet the one that killed your mother,

you have to act like a faithful follower.

Do you really think you can handle all that?

- You can help me. - What?

So that I don't ruin this task because of revenge.

And so that I don't struggle even when I meet him.

You can hold me.

Soo Hyun!

Father. This is the only way I have now.

After sending you to a foreign land, you want me to take care of you there too?

I'm a bad son, am I not?

I'm going to return safely.

I will.

This...

I have someone that I want to give this to.

The times that I have spent with you

The days that I have spent loving only you

The reason I live was because of you

Now I have to let you go

I need to make you leave

I'm not going to look back

Foolish heart

Vague memories

Please tell me that it's not that love

Have my eyes farther away so that I can't see you

Even if I have to live in pain

Holding back the tears

Biting my firm lips

Though I tell you harsh words saying that it has nothing to do with you

In the end I yearn for you

Till the day I close my eyes

I'm going to regret this day of letting you go

Don't look for me again. Please...

Alright. Can you handle it?

Hold her tight!

Let me have some.

I'm okay. Eat.

Continue looking, please.

Hello?

What?

Soo Hyun!

Soo Hyun, how can mom live without you?

Lee Soo Hyun's grave

Two years later

I heard that you were an art director.

That's related to painting, right?

Yes, do you like painting?

It's not my area, but I'm very interested in it.

You know Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"? Roughly how much does it cost?

How much?

I made a lot of profits from my ELW investments recently,

so I was going to start a collection.

I see.

I went to a Sotheby's auction last year.

You know, right? Sotheby's auction in Britain.

I went there and found out that...

art pieces are also worthy investments.

Yes.

Suh Ji Woo, you are under arrest for fraud.

What do you think you are doing?

You were about to be in big trouble.

Did you buy paintings from her by any chance?

Well, not yet.

That's good.

She's a fraud that approaches men during dates and sells fake art pieces.

I'm not!

Let's go!

I graduated from Lee University!

It's not me!

That was really funny!

You are good!

We at NIS work for the good of the people.

I haven't seen anything like that before.

If you were one minute late, I would have flipped over the table.

Why do you go on arranged dates anyway?

I was tricked by my dad.

How about making a boyfriend?

I should, instead of suffering from my dad's wrath.

How about me?

What?

Boyfriend. I mean your boyfriend.

Stop being silly and let me go.

I can't let you go for free.

If you kiss me, I'll let you go.

Stop joking with me. Quick!

Do my eyes look like I'm joking?

Come out.

Are you still angry?

Forgive me. I was joking.

I have a big project next month.

I'm a little worried.

Don't you think you're becoming a workaholic?

What?

For months you've been doing overtime, going on business trips,

and working even on holidays without rest.

If you live buried under work like that, you'll be an old virgin before you know it.

Don't regret it then, and relax a little bit.

You talk like my dad.

People who worry have the same thoughts.

I'll keep that in mind.

Let's go to Thailand and have some of your favorite Thai food.

I'll treat you.

I'm moving departments next week.

It's been decided already?

What do you mean by 'already'? I've been waiting for six months.

You said it was the department Soo Hyun worked in, right?

Yes.

Hey, it's a very demanding department, so I won't be able to play with you often.

I'll buy a month's worth of food, so let's go.

Min Gi...

I want to just go home today. I'm tired from that date.

Are you really tired?

Or do you just not want to go to Thailand with me?

How can you say that?

I'm just a little tired.

I'm sorry.

I, who didn't know love

Was taught about love

By the precious you

I will protect you

We will forever be in love

And share the love that came from our meeting

I promise from now on

Thanks for the ride.

Bye.

Who is that?

Friend.

Boyfriend?

Just a friend.

So, you disgraced your dad because you wanted to play with your friend?

You arranged the date without even telling me.

I told you I wasn't going on arranged dates.

I'm only doing this for your own good.

Don't do that.

Even if you don't do that, I'll be happy.

So don't do that again.

Wash up and sleep if you're drunk. Why come into this room?

Do you clean this room every day?

Even if it's an empty room, I feel bad if I skip it.

Why! Why do you? Soo Hyun's dead! Dead! Why?!

Min Gi!

Soo Hyun is a bad guy!

Mom, Soo Hyun is really a bad guy!

Yes, I know.

I want to see him more because he's such a mean and bad guy!

I know too.

Thanks, brother!

Hyung, did you receive the white money?

That's it?

Look.

I bet everything on you.

This is what people call 'bears play the trick and the money goes to me.'

Stop.

How about just becoming a player?

Wouldn't that be better instead of working at the low end of Cheongbang?

Hyung, wait for me!

Did you fight well?

Kay won again!

Brother, it's an emergency! Help!

What?

Quickly!

I want to play here the whole night. You have a problem?

We need to do business, too.

Do you know me?

Who are you?

Long time no see, Kay.

I told you to not appear in this area, didn't I?

I didn't want to, but my brothers wanted to.

Go somewhere else and play.

Hyung, there's a fight at Pink Lady. They want you there.

You told me before.

When you come here, you'll feel better for some reason.

Back then, I thought that you were joking,

but you were right.

You were here!

I was looking for you. Do you want to be late on your first day?

Let's go.

Hello. I'm Kang Min Gi, and I'm in the International Affairs team from today.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Where is my place, sir?

That was Soo Hyun's place.

What are we doing?

Since we're done with greetings, everyone meet in the conference room.

That file I got from Hong Kong was worth 3 million HK dollars.

If I sold it to their Singapore rival, it would be at least 5 million!

I came out of the hotel, and got on the night plane.

My spit was melting and...

Ahjussi, you've told me already.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Information broker that once dominated Southeast Asia."

"Name of Roadrunner. That's me." Isn't that right?

Doesn't it get more interesting as you hear it more?

Anyway, I got on the plane to Singapore and...

Mr. Kang, do you have worries or something?

Your attitude towards my story today is unsatisfactory.

Do you think I always laugh at everything?

Does Ji Woo come by often?

Ji Woo?

Well� It's more like when she has time, she stops by, has coffee, and then leaves.

Cheers.

That's good.

Ji Woo, you still paint, don't you?

Remember the painting you did for me a long time ago?

Paint another one for me... with me and Min Gi together.

The night air is cold. What if you catch a cold?

Dad, how come you haven't considered remarrying?

What?

It has been almost ten years since mom passed away.

Is it because you still haven't forgotten her?

So much so that you still want live alone�

Did you love her that much?

At my age, when would I have time to date someone new and get married?

When you are my age, it's bothersome and you want to just simply get by.

Will mom remember you too?

The moment one heads for the other world�

I wonder if one will forget that which has happened here?

Only the people still alive will hold on to the memories�

Father.

Are you still going to the Muay Thai* matches? (*kickboxing)

I won.

And what if you get hurt from that? I want you to quit.

What brings you suddenly to Bangkok?

I was on my way to Singapore on a business trip and thought to see you�

How are Min Gi and Mom doing?

Well� Min Gi has moved to Overseas Team One.

He has always expressed wanting that position.

Looks like he was accepted this time.

For someone who fools around to be part of Overseas Team One�

Min Gi, man, he must have really changed.

Probably he just wanted to take your place.

Then it's just a matter of me doing my job.

What?

It has been one year since I've gone to Cheongbang,

and yet I'm still in a low position.

I'm busy just dealing with the thugs and drunks�

This is how it's been for me.

There's no need to rush.

Don't act rashly. Be patient�

For how long?

For how long must I deal with the bars?

Despite working like this, I haven't even seen his face once!

I heard that Mao likes Muay Thai.

So I'm going to the matches.

One of these days, I'll make him notice me.

Soo Hyun!

I'm tired of working as a low-life.

When the opportunity comes, I'm not going to miss it.

Your safety comes before the mission.

Keep my words in mind.

Last 2001, one of our defense firms, Sewon Junggon,

developed a 4-meter tank for underwater use with Korean technology.

This has definitely strengthened our ground forces.

From now, the worth of this technology is believed to be 10 trillion won.

This is Jo Hyung Shik, the head of the research team at Sewon Junggong.

He feels he's not being valued enough and has been having conflicts with the company.

Looks like he'll be the target of an industrial spy.

So who came in contact with him?

Our guy for this case is Korean-American Steven Kim.

After passing through Hong Kong and Tokyo, he's confirmed to have entered the country on May 13th.

He's had a total of five meetings with Jo Hyung Shik,

and now they are at the stage of finalizing a deal.

Ma'am, isn't it a matter of just apprehending them at the scene?

I just don't see what the problem is�

How long has it been since you came here?

Two years�

And yet you don't know who Steven Kim is?

Even if we arrest this guy, he will be tried in the U.S.

Should he get a good lawyer and the case is prolonged, he'll eventually be released on bail.

That's how we lost the guy in the 1999 semiconductor case.

The same thing happened to the Japanese.

The 2001 case with the Air Self-Defense Force program leak�

Arresting Steven Kim is easy.

The problem is what happens afterwards.

Well, at least what we can do is to move before Jo Hyung Shik makes his move.

Yes.

The file�

Let's do that.

You know�

What is it?

Since we'll lose Steven Kim once he enters the U.S.,

why don't we set it up from the start so that the Americans can arrest him?

Are you saying that we reverse our tactics?

We need to bring him out with an offer he can't refuse.

- At least if he comes out for a deal� - That's too big of a risk.

We don't have anything worthwhile to make an offer to Steven Kim.

On top of that, we need someone at his level to make the set up�

We do have the right man!

'Right man'� Who would that be?

Have you heard of the Roadrunner?

Byun Dong Suk� I had forgotten about him.

And he's retired and has worked as an undercover informant.

Not a bad idea at all.

He probably won't agree to doing it though.

Why not?

He was dishonorably forced into retirement.

Would he still want to?

We need to give a commission he won't feel disappointed about.

That guy loves money, you know.

Oh, see if you can get to him. You guys were once teammates.

You should be able to get through to him.

Yes, I've checked the list of shipments.

No, on the day that it arrives, I'll go out to the wharf myself and oversee it.

Yes, yes�

Were the packaging material taken care of as I requested?

What do you mean? I clearly left the memo in the office.

I understand. I'll call you again after I see the piece come in. OK.

Hey, Suh Ji Woo, take it easy. Take it easy�

If you collapse, we'd have to close our company down.

And who's the employee that is forcing me to overwork?

It's like you're looking to do work when there isn't any.

Day and night you're like this.

Oh� Look here. You just cut me here.

How scary.

Welcome.

I'm sorry that is reserved. Please have a seat over there.

Welcome.

How have you been?

You know me. Everyday's a happy day.

Oh, it's empty again?

That seat seems to be always empty when I come in.

For you, everyday's a lucky day�

What would you like? Coconut milk tea?

Yes.

Have a seat.

Let's see.

What?

Why does someone like me, who's smart, pretty and perfect,

want to meet someone as dull as you?

Ah� I figured it out.

You're handsome. Frightfully handsome.

Is that all?

Yeah.

I only value a guy's appearance.

Like a bad habit that can't be broken

Like a fool

I don't know what to do with myself anymore

Don't you worry anymore

Left behind in the remembrances, left behind in the memories

I can laugh despite the tears

But goodbye love, goodbye tears

I'll distance myself from your side

If I remain, your smiles will fade

In front of me who is standing behind you

Will you be happier than anyone else

Unlike when you were in my dreams

With love, with tears

Remember when you said that one day you will finish it?

But I can't wait anymore.

Ji Woo...

You have to make it look pretty. I'm looking forward to that.

Take care. Good-bye.

Okay. Good-bye.

He was once a big-time broker,

but because of mishaps he ended up rotting in a Thai jail for a year.

Afterwards, he started doing all sorts of jobs in the backstreets of Bangkok.

It's not that I know everything.

Not too long ago, he was even an informant for my father�

That's why I know a little bit.

Let's go inside.

Ahjussi, I brought a guest with me.

This person is the one I spoke�

Long time no see.

My goodness, what brings you to this humble place?

You two know each other?

Not particularly.

But I did see him whenever your father had to undertake an operation.

Are you still living your life as rigidly as usual?

How I live is none of your business� I came here on official business.

What official business would you have with retired old me?

Oh, Min Gi? What... brings you here?

I have some business here. You?

Oh, me� I was passing by and decided to have tea here.

You can stay. Don't worry about me.

No really. I was planning to get up anyway.

Go see to your work.

Ji Woo�

What's with you these days?

Huh?

What do you mean?

Whenever I see you, you seem to turn the other way.

Now it seems you're actually avoiding me.

Oh, was I like that?

I'm sorry. Because of my project, I've been so hectic these days.

I have to manage the gallery, bring in art pieces...

If I don't check everything through, things won't go right.

Because of how things are, sometimes I wonder if it's better if I just get married.

Min Gi, you seem to be having it rough these days too?

Hey! Keep your spirits up.

Next time I'll treat you really well.

Okay� I've got to go. Bye.

We'll back you up.

You just need to make the deal.

Besides, you and Steven Kim know each other.

This is a matter of national security.

I want your assistance.

Hey! Is Chief Jung the one who's behind this?

Did he say to throw money at me and try to win me over?

Dong Suk�

Country?! Think about what the Republic of Korea did to me?

You of all people should know that you shouldn't be doing this to me.

Tell Mr. Jung this:

The Roadrunner who was once holed up in jail,

former agent Byun Dong Suk, is already dead. Got that?

Do you remember when we were dispatched to Moscow?

I was the one who saved you when the car flipped over on the icy road.

Afterwards you said this,

�Since I'm indebted to you once,

whenever there's one thing you need from me, just let me know.�

I want you to keep that promise, Byun Dong Suk.

Any movement from Jo Hyung Shik?

He hasn't handed the information over to the other side yet.

And how'd it go?

Byun Dong Suk is still in the middle of the deal at the moment.

My� It's been a long time.

You said you wanted to see me?

Roadrunner, I thought you've stopped working�

So what are you doing now?

This is a little weak for a comeback.

What are you talking about?

Since we're both busy individuals, I'll get straight to the point.

About Sewon Junggong's Jo Hyung Shik�

You got to him, right?

It's been one year for me.

That's why I'm telling you that I'm the one who came by that information first.

If this continues between colleagues, things will become difficult.

In any case, the value of the information depends on the one who has it in his grasp.

What!

If he's like that he'll lose his leverage.

Just wait. He hasn't even dropped the bait.

$5 million. Would that be enough?

I'll give you $10 million, so why don't you just let it go?

$6 million.

$7 million.

When is my next appointment?

You have to leave soon.

Fine.

$8 million. I can't give you any more.

How about this instead?

Instead of money, I'm more interested in information.

Like documents about the Pacific Ocean fleet strategy�

Are you saying you want me to give you information about the American forces?

All I'm saying is that we should exchange information that's worthwhile for each other.

With your skills, I believe this shouldn't be out of your reach.

I guess you don't like the sound of my proposition.

Then it looks like I need to raise my premium�

Let's drop this. There is nothing to offer anymore.

What happened? Who said that you could cut off the transaction?

Wasn't it Team Manager Oh's signal?

You told me to stop there�

I told him to cut it off.

What, man!

Why are you like this? Calm down!

'Calm down'?!

Jo Hyung Shik has shut his mouth and we put so much effort in getting Steven Kim.

Hey! Hey! You think you're some big shot?

Treating your colleagues like dirt and stopping things on your own?

Shut up!

Kang Min Gi, explain this.

You must have had a reason for stopping the transaction midway.

You need to be accountable for your actions!

It's just that� if we had stayed there any longer, we would have come under suspicion.

Based on what reason?

I just did.

If it was the broker, Roadrunner, he'd have stopped there too.

True, true, true.

It has been a while since I've made a deal like this that I've forgotten too�

That's right.

If I offered more, he'd have become suspicious.

What he said is right.

Yes.

I'll believe in Roadrunner's reputation� I'll give this a go.

I can't promise how long it will be, but give me some time.

It's good to know old friends.

I'll take your word.

He totally took the bait.

Kang Min Gi, our operation mode is not based on one's feeling or personal decision.

Granted that what happened today worked out,

but as the team leader, it's not something I can approve of.

Understood.

I want you to head back and write a report on it.

The rest of you get ready for the next move.

Yes.

Good job.

"The Status of Criminal Organizations in Asia"

Just what is this?

Pardon?

The status of criminal organizations in Asia.

Why is Thailand's so empty?

If we sent you down to meet an agent, shouldn't there be more?

He's still in the midst of things. If we report on it, he'll be put at risk.

Look here, Director Kang.

If we sent an agent down there, there has to be a proportionate gain in information.

You think I sent you there to look in on your son?

I'm not saying that as the father.

It's my opinion as a responsible lead agent.

You've heard about the Roadrunner transaction?

Yes.

It hasn't been long since he changed departments.

He's rather competent.

It's because he does what he has to.

Then what about Lee Soo Hyun?

When do you think he'll do what he has to?

Good! Good!

How come you don't answer my calls these days?

Are you the only one who's busy?

I'm busy too.

What?

Even you, who gets depressed by wastage of tax payers' money, have been busy too?

Stop. I've a lot on my mind.

It seems like we both landed on bad days.

Did a frame get bent?

How could something bad happen in the beautiful art business?

You're still mad, huh?

What?

You said that I was avoiding you. You're making yourself all mad.

Suh Ji Woo, why are you like this?

With Kang Min Gi's one phone call,

the ladies will run out barefooted...

and fill all the streets from Seoul's Dongdaemun to Cheonan intersection.

Yeah, right�

Where are all those ladies now that you're drinking soju alone on this lonely night?

It's what you call a man's loneliness.

What would you know?

Hey! Why do you keep taking my drink?

One, two, three!

Min Gi oppa!

Thanks, Min Gi� For being my friend.

What? I'm not your friend.

I'm your boyfriend. Your boyfriend.

Stop talking nonsense and let's go again.

It's easy to go for another round.

What? Did you lose something?

What is it? Did you lose something?

My watch�

My watch is gone�

A short while ago it was here�

The band must have snapped.

Where could I have dropped it?

If it's gone, forget it.

Just forget it. The watch no longer works anyway�

Soo Hyun gave me that watch.

Soo Hyun's dead! He's dead!

You think I don't know that you feel wretched over the Thailand memories?

Despite that, you have never even once gone to Soo Hyun's grave. Why?

You refuse to acknowledge that he's dead, right?

You refuse to believe that he's not beside you?

Let me go.

Just let him go. Forget about that worthless jerk!

Let me go!

And you can forget him?

His leaving is like a lie.

Even now, I feel like he's still alive somewhere�

How can I let Soo Hyun go?

How can I�

A good person that will cherish you

It must have not been me, sorry

Foolish heart

Vague memories

Please tell me that it's not that love

Have my eyes farther away so that I can't see you

Even if I have to live in pain

Holding back the tears

Biting my firm lips

Though I tell you harsh words saying that it has nothing to do with you

When the tears dry

The heart becomes unyielding

Help me so that I would no longer be in pain

Is it true that he's coming?

It's annoying to evoke the name of the government all the time.

I see his face throughout the day.

I don't know how long I can take this.

Mao will enter the ring.

Don't miss that opportunity.

For now, I won't ask you to wear that watch.

After Soo Hyun died,

when the time that had stopped starts flowing,

show me this watch�
