With Joon Han's sacrifice, Yoo Gun was able to safely escape with Baek San.

As a payment for saving his life, Baek San tips off Yoo Gun

about a potential threat during the North and South unification talks in Hungary.

The NSS sends the TF-A Team to join the South Korean security team in Hungary.

There, the NSS team makes thorough preparations in case of an IRIS attack. But...

Representative Kwon Young Chan is assassinated by Yun Hwa disguised as a waitress.

Yun Hwa escapes with the help of Yoo Joong Won

but was pursued by Yoo Gun who predicted her escape route.

At last, Soo Yun ends up catching Yun Hwa.

After Yoo Gun hands Yun Hwa over to Park Chul Young...

he gets a hunch that Representative Jo Myung Ho is the next target.

He rushes to save Jo Myung Ho from IRIS's attack.

Withdraw!

Representative!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Figure out how many are injured...

and secure Representative Jo Myung Ho and Deputy Director to a safe place.

Episode 4

What's Representative Jo Myung Ho's condition?

I believe he's passed a critical moment.

A critical moment... it may just be the beginning of that...

for both the South and the North.

The Roosevelt Administration ignored the tip of a potential Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Three months prior to 9/11...

the German intelligence agency warned the United States that the Middle Eastern terrorists

planned to hijack passenger aircrafts to carry out attacks.

But that intelligence also went ignored.

I'm sorry to say this but the hind sight is 20/20.

Those kind of conspiracy theories are made mostly after the incident.

Was Baek San's warning one of those theories?

This time, things turned out the way he said they would.

But he's a serious criminal who's committed murder and even assisted in terrorism.

We can't 100 percent trust the words of a criminal like that.

Recently, after the demise of Kim Jong Il...

the hard-liner's initiative for the stand-alone policy has become much stronger.

Even with numerous warnings from Russia and China...

they forcibly carried out the plan to launch their missile.

We can't say confidently the hard-liners were not involved

in the assassination of Representative Kwon Young Chan.

I foresee the surrounding nations will put us under considerable pressure.

We need something to calm things down.

Using this opportunity...

we could fold the NSS's function under the National Intelligence Service.

We could make a gesture so that the outside will view

the dissolution of the NSS as them taking responsibility for the recent incident.

We strongly criticize any kind of force between countries.

I guess the United States feels really betrayed.

Why the hell are they so worked up?

It's not like the North and the South got together to discuss a war plan.

We were just discussing a peaceful reunification plan.

The surrounding countries were putting together six-party talks.

They wanted the meeting agenda to be notified in advance for their approval.

From their perspective, they could feel betrayed.

These were confirmed about five minutes ago.

I believe this is a real situation.

[The Presidential House basement bunker]

It was identified as nuclear testing after a successful miniaturization of the missile.

The scale surpassed that of Hiroshima.

I was doubtful, but I guess it turned out to be true.

The purpose of this testing definitely wasn't to bring the United States to the negotiation table.

How is the current situation?

Three hours from now, the US President will make a statement from the White House.

Japan is examining imposing restrictions on funds for the pro-North Korean residents' league.

China will follow the decision of the UN Security Council.

The UN Security Council will convene for an emergency meeting at 11pm tonight KST.

The newly adopted Security Council resolution 2087...

after the North launched the ballistic missile, will become the biggest issue at the meeting.

I suspect the main ways to restrict actions of North Korea will be

through putting sanctions against Banco Delta Asia (BDA) once again.

Call for an emergency meeting with the commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces

and the Joint Chief of Staff.

Also convene a meeting for the NSC (National Security Council) in two hours.

Yes.

Did you receive any information from Baek San regarding the recent nuclear testing?

No, we didn't.

But to get a clearer picture, I've sent an agent to Baek San to question him.

You're still just reading newspapers.

I heard that the representative from the North died.

Therefore the head of the 'dove' faction has been eliminated.

Based on your expression, I think you already know how I found out.

Am I right?

IRIS's protocol must be hidden in the papers.

And I'm sure only the high-ranking officials in IRIS can decipher these codes.

If I ask you how to decipher the codes, I know you won't be able to tell me anything.

Because that's probably one of the more important weapons you have now.

But what I'm really curious about is...

why IRIS chose newspapers as the means of communication.

That's because email and cellphones are vulnerable to security breaches.

Actually, IRIS lobbied to have wire-tapping of intelligence agencies possible.

But it appears that it has come back to bite us.

Now we live in a world where, rather than leaving traces in the communication network...

sending a message in person became much more effective.

We've returned to the primitive ways, so to speak.

Let's make a deal.

You will tell me whenever you discover IRIS's message in the newspaper.

What... will I get?

We'll continue to protect you from IRIS.

I think I have the short end of the stick in this deal.

You know well enough... that's not the case.

Anyway, your original intention was to use me and the NSS to fight a proxy war against IRIS.

Even if I know that fact, not much will change.

Because...

IRIS won't stop launching attacks against the NSS and the South Korean government.

We can't just sit here and receive everything that comes our way.

Then I'll consider that you've agreed to the deal.

Hey.

The one who took me out of the special prison.

The one who attacked the safety house and killed Section Chief Park...

You need to be careful of him.

[NSS (National Security Service)]

So what have you found out?

He didn't seem to know anything about the nuclear testing.

You didn't mention it to him first, did you?

No. Our priority is to find out Baek San's intelligence capabilities first.

And he's agreed to the deal I proposed.

Whenever he finds IRIS's protocol in the newspaper, he'll let me know.

Good work.

Before you leave, do you have anything else you want to say?

I'm not sure what you mean.

I want to hear your opinion on... the North's nuclear testing.

It may sound little far-fetched...

but I think Hungary was a smoke screen to cover for their real goal...

the nuclear testing.

They forcibly carried a nuclear test, much opposed by the international community.

But because the North Korean representative was assassinated during the peace talk

now they've created justification for the massive criticism they're about to receive.

Thanks to that, we'll be doubly criticized by the surrounding nations.

The North's hard-liners may have begun purging the moderates already.

With the new regime in place, to the hawks who were pushed out by the moderates...

this was a golden opportunity to launch a counterattack.

If Hungary really was a decoy, it was a chilling one for sure.

The current situation doesn't look great.

Someone will have to receive a punishment taking responsibility for the Hungary incident.

The Director will probably choose you.

Why don't you take some time off and spend some time with Baek San

to find out more about him and the people around him?

If you need any information, I'll personally send it to you.

[The North Korean Defense Command]

Talk! Talk!

You bitch!

Why are you sitting out here?

Mr. Yoo. Where have you been?

I almost died.

You have some time now, right?

Thank you for what you did in Hungary.

- Excuse me? - Team Leader Jung told me.

He said if it hadn't been for agent Ji Soo Yun...

either me or Representative Jo Myung Ho would not have survived the attack.

Don't mention it. I was only doing my job.

Even though you were doing your job...

it isn't easy to take one's life with your own hands.

My first time was in Iraq.

After that, I shut myself in my quarters, didn't see anyone or eat anything for a week.

With the order from above, I was assigned to another mission.

After I experienced the second... and the third person fall by my hands...

I quickly got over it.

But I was more surprised by how quickly I got over it.

I just accepted it for what it was.

'If I hadn't pulled the trigger, me or someone I love would have been shot.'

Like that.

Through the scope... I saw his eyes.

I'm sure he saw me, too.

So I was the last person he saw before he died.

That's also true for doctors.

They're also the last person people see before they die.

That's true.

Suspended for one month.

It's true that the team failed to protect the VIP.

So you should take responsibility as the team leader.

Yes.

Take some time off.

What's going on?

What's up with this somber mood, huh?

- Did you do something again? - No.

Did you receive... a punishment?

Yeah, I got one. One month's worth.

I think it worked out for the best.

Just consider it a vacation.

But still...

Somehow I feel like we just got away with things.

As Soo Yun said, I'm going to consider this my vacation.

So you all have fun while I'm gone.

I'm going on my vacation now.

Because of Team Leader Jung's suspension, I'm sure the morale in your team is pretty low.

If I may speak frankly, I think it's unfair and unjust.

What can you do? The higher you are, the harder you get hammered.

The one who's above the hammer won't ever get hit.

Your comment had some other meaning.

I'm sorry.

Originally, I was going to send Team Leader Jung.

But I felt like I was putting too much burden on one person.

On top of that, a lot of people are watching him.

This is Siem Reap in Cambodia.

Do you recognize him?

Yes.

- He's the one who got away in Hungary. - I'm relieved.

After the incident, he traveled to the western side of Hungary.

There, he traveled through Kazakhstan, India, Vietnam and he finally ended up Cambodia.

How did you...

I got help from some of my old friends.

I'm giving you this solo assignment using my authority as the deputy director.

Bring him here. You shouldn't let anyone else take him.

An incident occurred in Hungary as Baek San said it would.

Is it okay to leave him the way he is?

How about moving him to one of the NSS safety houses and intensifying his interrogation?

The Director said she'd take care it for now, so we should wait and see what happens.

Now that I'm on vacation, would you like to go see the ocean?

The ocean?

What was the ocean?

I'm not sure, so I think I need to go see what it is.

Go on.

- Are you happy? - Yeah.

Are you going somewhere?

A business trip.

Out of the blue?

Where are you going?

You know very well that I can't talk about that.

The Team Leader was supposed to go but I'm going instead of him now.

I guess you looked the most free.

Have a good trip and don't forget to bring souvenirs.

Why are you telling me these things?

I thought you might be curious...

as to whether the outside world is going the way you anticipated.

I ran some background checks on you.

Among my friends, there were some who knew about your past.

I'm going to ask you a point-blank question.

The reason why IRIS wants to catch you alive...

isn't that because of a secret military facility? An old one, too?

I guess you've run quite an extensive background check on me.

But that's only the tip of the iceberg.

If you help me get closer to the true nature of IRIS...

I'll talk with the president about granting you a special pardon.

You are a lot more dangerous than I thought you were.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I only work for the justice which I think is right.

I have no intention of working for some government or a person in power.

IRIS is the strongest enemy that goes directly against the justice I believe in.

Why don't we become allies?

Before that... you better run some more checks on me.

To me, the justice is this country, Korea.

Everything I did was unavoidable for the national security.

I've not done anything... for my own personal gain or greed.

Even the fact you allied yourself with IRIS?

That's the part I sacrificed the most for the protection of this country.

It's strange, indeed.

It isn't that different from the justice you are talking about.

And... did you say you wanted to become allies?

I already have the most powerful weapon I can ever possess.

So I don't think I'll need your help.

[Year 1979] - The NSS...

is a group that doesn't actually exist in the Central Intelligence Service.

But, they do the most important things for national security.

Agents never make any political judgment.

The mission's success and failure...

Those are all we need.

Is that fun? [The family of nuclear physicist Kim Huey So]

Mommy.

Hey, Hyun Woo. You know, the Deputy Director...

- What? - I mean the new Deputy Chief, Choi Min.

What about her?

When I look at her closely...

I feel like I'm seeing Baek San at his prime.

When she makes up her mind, the way she pushes it through.

Like the way she'd never go back on what she said.

It's fortunate that someone so competent is on our side.

Because people who are competent can easily become enemy targets.

I came a little too early, didn't I?

Come in for a moment.

What's this?

Why don't you open it?

This is...

I ordered that from that shop in Hungary.

I memorized their number that night.

Seriously, you are...

I think they'll look nice there.

It's pretty.

It looks good there.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Bye!

- Are you okay? - I got a leg cramp.

Right here.

I got you!

Catch me if you can!

Where are you going?

I can't. I can't.

Wait a minute.

Isn't it warm?

Not the scarf.

I think things are reversed with us.

What is?

Think about it. Since we were young...

I was always the one who expressed my feelings first and more.

'I think you're kind of handsome.'

'Who did this to you?' 'Bring them to me. I'll take care of them all.'

'I think... I like you.'

And you won't say anything to that.

See? Look at you now.

Definitely, when the guy is shy...

the woman naturally becomes more assertive.

Well... I don't really care...

Who's the shy one?

Open your eyes.

I know you're not sleeping.

Hurry up and open your eyes.

Do I really look okay?

I think I should go to a beauty salon and take care of my makeup and my hair.

You look pretty.

What do I do?

Come on in.

My son came to visit his mother and brought me a big present.

- Come on in. - Yes.

- Is this your room? - Yeah.

Wow, I haven't been here for a long time.

When was this taken?

That was the first day I met Lieutenant Ha.

Look at your expression.

This must be a photo album? Can I look through it?

Well... I guess you'll see them soon or later.

Of course, I'm going to look everywhere

to see whether you've hidden the photo of your first love.

So cute.

I didn't catch anything that day.

Look at this.

Here is Lieutenant Ha.

Here. Mr. Ha is on the phone.

I guess he knew I was talking about him.

I'll take it.

Yes.

- Have a seat. - Yes.

Since I live in the countryside, these are all I have.

Don't worry. I love sweet potatoes.

Oh, it's hot.

Hot! Hot!

I'm sorry.

Looks delicious. Thank you.

Your mother must be lonely living alone.

When I looked through your album...

there weren't any photos of your father when he was alive, right?

Yeah, so I don't even know what he looks like.

Now that I think about it...

your mother's surname is Jung also. So all three of you are Jungs?

My father's name was Yoo Sang Joon.

According my mother, he passed away before I was born.

But for some reason, she gave me her surname and named me Jung Yoo Gun.

Ah, so that's how it was.

Well, some people do take one surname from both of their parents.

I guess you were ahead of your time.

I had fun.

I can't fight because I'm scared.

Why don't we go home now?

Hey, I said we should stop fighting.

It hurts. Hurts.

Okay. Okay.

Wow... it really is nice to be in a hotel.

Even the bathtub is this nice.

Since we are staying in a hotel, why don't we get room service?

I'll have a ceasar salad.

M269. The target has been secured.

You can go to the Korean consulate. They'll help you get home.

Until you get on the home-bound plane, do not let your guard down.

I'll be returning home tomorrow morning.

It feels nice.

Hello.

I'll be right down.

What are you going to do now?

Hey!

It's driving me crazy!

- Why are you so noisy? - I'm not going anywhere.

I really have to go so take this off for a minute, huh?

Take this off and then go.

- I'll be back soon so keep it down. - Hey!

I really have to go, so how can I be quiet?

Hey, free me and then go, you bastard!

Here you go. Have a nice day.

If it weren't for me, you'd have been in big trouble.

Thank you.

Anyway, where did you get that idea?

Anyway, there is a client who wants a big one.

It's $50,000 worth.

- $50,000? - Yeah, $50,000.

He wasn't even captured on the hotel CCTV?

Okay. Just come back for now.

$50,000?

Even if you sell all your pills, it'll be less than that.

Really?

But the situation is not that great for me right now.

You know what I say all the time.

Once you have the money, your situation will get better.

Hurry up and go in. Go ahead.

$50,000.

It's $50,000. Hurry up and go in.

Hurry.

Captain...

It's delicious.

After we finish eating... we'll go visit Lieutenant Ha.

Okay, I'm going to pack some side dishes for him. Tell him not to skip any meals.

Okay.

I'd like to stay here so why don't you go alone?

Will you be okay here alone?

I'm not going to eat her.

Mister!

Mister!

Mister...

Yes... I'm reporting a murder.

[Jung Yoo Gun]

We did find some fingerprints, but they all belonged to the victim.

He's missing the hard disk from his PC.

I thought that PC was broken so he wasn't using it?

Whoever is bothering Yoo Gun, I'm not going to leave them alone.

You don't need to worry about that, Soo Yun.

Because Yoo Gun has fists of steel, all of the neighborhood gangs have disbanded.

But Mister, isn't it too lonely for you to live here alone?

I lived alone all my life.

Moving from a city to the countryside doesn't make much difference.

You don't know what you are talking about.

In the city, you at least had a possibility of meeting a pretty lady.

But here, it's zero, none.

Yes, I guess you are right.

[Year 2005. Yoo Gun's college graduation.]

[Jung Yoo Gun] [He was scouted by the NSS. Is it fate?]

[Baek San] [IRIS...]

[Baek San] [IRIS...]

[I couldn't find proof that Baek San killed Yoo Sang Joon.]

Hey, Yoo Joong Won. Come out now.

Where do you want me to go again?

Wake up. Wake up!

Wake up. Yun Hwa. Yun Hwa!

Wake up! Yun Hwa!

How is it going with Baek San?

He's still there.

We're running out of time.

Find a way to get him out.

Drink up.

Hey, even if you die, drink some water first and wake up.

I'm going to give you a piece of advice.

Don't even think about returning to IRIS.

Since you got arrested, if you return, they'll kill you.

Why would they? My mission was a success.

Your mission was a success?

Okay, let's say your mission was a success.

Since you got arrested, they'd think you were tortured and revealed everything about IRIS.

Do you think they'd leave you alone?

Why are you so naive?

Well... that simpleness is one of your charms.

They tried to save me in Hungary.

Rey will definitely come to save me.

What? Rey?

Rey or whoever... they are all the same.

You should know what to expect.

You leave me out of this.

Even though I like you, getting tangled up with IRIS is decreasing my life expectancy.

IRIS?

Those damn bastards...

As long as we're in North Korea, they can't lay a finger on us.

The captain made a promise.

If we tell him how to get in touch with IRIS, he said he'll protect us.

As soon as they get what they want...

they'll kill us here, too.

I'm telling you that's not true.

Look at me!

I feel bad for you, but they didn't touch me at all.

IRIS has already penetrated into the elite circle in the North.

Who is that?

If we tell them, they said they'll let us live.

Yun Hwa.

Are you back now?

What about Soo Yun?

She left because it was getting late.

You didn't get to talk to her?

- No. - What about Lieutenant Ha?

Is he well?

- Ah... mother. - What?

Let's go see him together in a few days.

Okay.

I'm going to go in now.

Since I came up to Seoul, I stopped by. I hope I'm not intruding.

Don't be silly. I'm glad you came.

How is it working for the NSS?

What's your job there?

They are all kind of similar.

The scale is bigger, but it isn't much different than working in foreign affairs for the police.

Have you met the Director, yet?

Who's the NSS director now?

Why are you so curious about the NSS?

Ah, that's right.

As I get older, I get slower on picking up on things.

What are you talking about? You are still in your prime.

He was a very lonely person.

Throughout his entire life...

he helped us out so much.

Now that I think about it, I hadn't done anything for him.

Rest in peace.

Thank you for everything.

The rest has served you well. You look great.

Did you get a facial or something?

A facial? I think you guys received facials.

You all look so noticeably good.

Probably because there was no Team Leader abusing you.

I guess it showed.

The NSS's code system has been completely changed.

Why?

Well...

Again?

The assassin we lost in Hungary...

Yoo Joong Won.

Before he escaped the North, he was the group leader of Room 35.

I caught him in Cambodia.

However, he stole my hard-disk and ran away again.

- Hyun Woo. - Yes.

Do I have to memorize the code system again?

Work hard.

Anyway, what about Soo Yun?

She went to the shooting range.

What's going on?

Welcome back.

Were you going crazy wanting to come back to work?

Wasn't that bad.

Really? I was excited about putting you to work as soon as you came back.

Deputy Director...

there is a way to find the mole inside the NSS.

But before that, I need to borrow your security clearance.

If you don't tell me the reason, I think that'll be difficult.

You said the ones who can approach the prohibited information will have more power.

In order to take out the mole...

I need the authorization to check the entire NSS staff's logon entries.

If you came back to work, you should have called me first.

I've been gone for a month so there is a ton of work.

Let's have dinner together. We'll go and have something good.

I'm sorry.

[1979-10-27. Yoo Sang Joon and six others died due to multiple gunshot wounds.]

Subtitles by DramaFever

Are you connected to the incident that left many Central Intelligence Service agents dead?

If someone died in my hands...

that was absolutely necessary for this country.

Get me out of here.

If you try anything funny, I'll kill you.

Soo Yun, is something the matter?

No, nothing.

You want to proceed immediately?

If we give up now, we're submitting to the terrorists.

Only the A Team should know about moving Baek San to a safety house.

Where is the safety house?

It's camp JC.

We have intel on Baek San's location.

I'm definitely going to find out what IRIS wants from you.

You should stop now.

You might get hurt.

We've begun the transfer.
