Original subtitles

I'll catch whoever killed Pi Cheol Woong,

then back out of the operation.

That's not the deal we had.

A traitor on the inside?

(6 months ago)

I got a tip...

saying that fungus is growing deep within our organization.

I'll get you on the team...

so you can catch Michael.

In return, what I want...

is to dig out the fungus that grows within us.

Can you do that?

I'll do it.

Are you okay with not catching Michael yourself?

Until now,

I always looked ahead, focused on catching Michael.

I had forgotten something.

You forgot something?

Is it important enough to break...

the deal you had with me?

It is.

I don't know what that is, but you identified the fungus.

If you manage to identify Michael,

that's half of a victory.

Do as you wish.

Give me a time and location.

If you bring anyone else...

or anything dangerous,

the deal is off, okay?

Don't worry. I'll come empty-handed.

I like that.

There's a reason I took a liking to you from the start.

Shut your mouth and set the time and place.

(Ms. Baek Chan Mi)

(Ms. Baek Chan Mi)

I disobeyed a direct command...

and my arrogance...

cost Min Seok his life.

That's enough.

I put my fellow agent in danger...

when he was only there to help me.

Stop!

And being the idiot I am, I couldn't even catch his killer.

That's the truth.

(Text messages, Ms. Baek Chan Mi)

(Ms. Baek Chan Mi left you a voice message.)

Your new voice message.

I called...

because there's something I must tell you.

I was afraid you'd pick up,

but when the call went to voicemail,

my heart sank.

It was the same three years ago.

I went to Min Seok's address and rang the doorbell.

I felt so afraid and anxious that...

someone might come to the door.

Who is it?

Mr. Kwon Min Seok...

We recently moved here.

When someone else came out,

I felt as if I'd lost the opportunity to apologize.

I felt so afraid.

When I realized that you were the person...

I should've met three years ago,

I felt afraid.

I still haven't caught Min Seok's killer.

What if I put you in danger...

like I did to Min Seok?

I won't let that happen again. Never again.

The thing I want to give you, I'll leave next to Min Seok.

I wanted to visit after I caught Michael.

But here I am because I might never get to see you again.

If I were to leave without saying goodbye,

that would be too shameless of me.

(The late Kwon Min Seok)

I can't promise to visit you again.

But I will catch the person who killed you.

If he dies, I will die killing him.

That much I can promise.

We have a situation.

Chan Mi...

Chan Mi went off on her own.

(Episode 12)

I want you to track down Chan Mi's car.

I think she went to meet Chief Tak on her own.

Did she take the ledger and go there alone?

What? You gave her the ledger?

She forced me to give it to her.

I had no other choice.

Fortunately, she only took the copy.

Well, where is she right now?

Just a second.

Chan Mi is crossing the Yeongjong Bridge.

I think she's planning to meet Chief Tak on a yacht.

"A yacht"?

(Hamyeong High School)

What is it?

I'll be on my way. Send me the location.

My gosh.

I have Chan Mi's location.

"Yeongjong Marina"?

Where is that?

It's a dock.

(Yeongjong Marina)

Why does this keep lagging?

What's going on?

What is this?

Who are you?

Hello.

It looks like Ye Eun's laptop was being hacked.

What did you just say?

Who hacked her laptop?

I'm deleting the hacking software, so I don't know that yet.

Hurry up and find out who that jerk is.

(Good Casting)

(Yeongjong Marina)

I won't make a copy...

and steal the original document, so don't worry.

This one is all I need.

Careful.

It's covered with oil, so it'll easily catch fire.

What?

How dare you try to fool me?

Do you have a death wish?

I will kill you!

You little...

He's dead.

You...

Who are you?

Do you really not know who I am?

My gosh.

Did you watch it?

I guess you did.

Freeze!

My goodness.

If you move, I'll shoot.

Drop the gun.

Drop it!

I guess you got a lot of shooting practice.

You don't have time to read for your baby.

But you must've had time to practice your shooting skills.

I'm a really good shot.

I clearly told you...

not to move.

I bet you won't be able to shoot.

Actually, I'll just shoot you first.

No.

Chan Mi.

Help.

Help! Is anyone there?

It's dangerous.

Why did you come?

Don't talk. It must hurt.

Chan Mi! Chan Mi...

Agent down with a gunshot wound. Come to the marina right now!

This is why...

I told you not to go off on your own.

Why did you do this?

What? What did you say?

What's going on? What's wrong with her?

What's the matter with her? Chan Mi, no.

Stay with me, Chan Mi.

Chan Mi, stay with me!

When is the ambulance coming?

- Chan Mi, wake up. - This isn't happening!

Chan Mi, open your eyes!

My goodness.

Chan Mi, wake up!

Oh, my gosh.

Bravo! Nice!

We have a patient with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

She lost a lot of blood and went into hypovolemic shock.

She is unresponsive and I suspect arterial damage.

You're tough, Chan Mi.

You can get through this.

I know you'll survive this.

What's wrong?

What's happening? Do something!

- Okay. - Oh, no.

Chan Mi. Wake up, Chan Mi.

You hear me, don't you?

Chan Mi! Chan Mi.

Do something right now!

Chan Mi!

Wake up.

Save her. Chan Mi!

Open your eyes.

(Taesan University Hospital)

(Surgery in progress)

The shooter's face.

You didn't see it at all?

You were less than 10m apart.

Does it make sense that you don't know who shot her?

It was the first time she pulled a gun in the field.

Would she have been able to identify anyone?

When her teammate's life is in the balance.

What?

If Chan Mi's still in surgery,

the worst is over, right?

Did you find out what I asked?

The person who hacked Ye Eun's laptop...

is Ok Cheol.

The hacking software...

was uploaded the day she hacked into Ok Cheol's phone.

I think Ok Cheol had set up an anti-hacking tool.

There might be something else.

Search the house thoroughly.

And stay close to So Hui.

Tak Sang Gi is dead...

and Baek Chan Mi is at death's door?

Yes.

What's the likelihood of her pulling through?

According to the doctors, the odds are stacked against her.

Good.

I got another chance.

- Give me your phone. - Pardon?

Oh. Yes, sir.

It's me.

I wasn't sure if we could talk.

You made me feel quite flustered.

I need your help.

Were we close enough to ask for personal favors?

Why would you say something like that?

We were on equal standing, but now you're at a disadvantage.

Of course, our deal is off.

If you help me this once,

as soon as I get out,

I'll get Baek Chan Mi away from Mr. Yoon.

Why don't you just do time...

and turn a new leaf when you get out?

Is this how you repay me for the loyalty...

I showed you?

This is why ignorant people just become a nuisance.

You came crawling to me, and now you want to use me.

What?

Is that all you can say?

I liked you because we seemed to have an understanding.

I guess that was just me.

Do you think I'll go down alone?

Do you have something to take me down with?

Oh, I get it.

Just so you could cut me loose,

you deleted surveillance footage whenever we met.

I'm sorry.

You took an NIS chief too lightly.

It looks like you took the way I do things lightly too.

So many people out there will do my bidding for some cash.

I won't go out like this.

I won't! I'll take you down with...

The call cannot be...

This won't be the end of me.

I won't go down alone! Never!

I was upset you hadn't been by recently.

You must've noticed because here you are.

It's not easy to be on the same page.

Did you redo the interior?

I had everything redone to suit the painting.

It should stand out.

Are you brown-nosing the majority shareholder?

That's shallow.

You're so honest.

Instead of playing around, why not just side with me?

CEO Yoon lost his touch because of a woman.

Cut him loose.

Too much honesty makes me feel uncomfortable.

This is the new project plan...

IK Esthetics' will announce...

when Il Kwang Cosmetics launches.

I like a clear give and take relationship.

Belief and trust have no place after time passes...

and circumstances change.

Give what must be given and take what must be taken.

That's more transparent.

Do you think this is all there is?

Consider this just the appetizer.

This is why it's important to meet the right people.

We get along.

I suddenly want to know what the main dish is.

The surgery went well,

but we must see if she regains consciousness.

What do you mean? She was in there for over 10 hours.

How can you say you don't know if she'll wake up?

Stop it.

She will wake up, won't she?

I sincerely hope that she wakes up, but...

Are you sure the surgery went well?

You cut her open!

How can you say she might not wake up?

Hey! I sincerely wish for her to wake up too!

You quack!

Will you stop it?

Wake up, Chan Mi.

If you die like this,

I will resent you forever.

(HR Announcement)

(Baek Chan Mi, waiting for relocation)

Just a moment.

I might regret saying this.

What is it?

Ms. Baek.

She's NIS.

Are you kidding me?

And she's in the hospital right now.

What for?

She was shot.

Why are you telling me that now?

Gosh. I shouldn't have told him.

Why did you...

break up with Chan Mi?

Why?

Do you think she was a traitor?

That's what...

everyone thinks.

It would be less demeaning if she did betray us.

She almost died because of me.

What?

Trying to help me.

For a person she likes, she does everything for them.

She doesn't know how to be calculative.

She probably had a hard time staying sane...

after Min Seok died.

I bet she thought she should've died instead.

You should go back.

- Move. - No.

What do you think you're doing?

That's what I'd like to ask you.

You're the one who fired her.

So you have no reason to be here like this.

I never fired her.

I don't intend on firing her either.

I'm going to make her withdraw even if you don't fire her.

Do you still have more to say?

I'm sorry.

I'm not going to leave until I meet Chan Mi.

Why don't you put the past behind you...

and go back?

Who says it's in the past?

I still have feelings for her.

A hospital is where you get treated, not where you get hurt.

Don't cross the line.

That's what I'd like to say.

Go on, sir.

Who are you?

If I tell you myself, it won't be any fun.

- You can't go inside. - Visiting hours are over.

You must leave.

I know I told you to leave, but why are you lying here?

You're making me feel so guilty.

How are you so selfish?

I wasn't really angry.

I just hated you for a moment, and I felt a bit mad.

But it didn't last for long.

I waited for you to come back and apologize.

But I ended up coming to you first just like always.

I won't let you leave again.

Never.

The thing I want to give you,

I'll leave next to Min Seok.

(The late Kwon Min Seok)

Another long day is over

Two meet under the moonlight

Creating one shadow

When eyes are closed

A faint happiness seems to be

Within reach

However, one's wounded heart

I don't know what to say.

Ms. Baek told me to stay out of this mission,

but I insisted on joining.

I wanted to give you an impressive proposal.

Once the mission is over, I'm going to tell Ms. Baek...

who it is that I'm in love with.

I'm going to ask for a long holiday so we can enjoy our honeymoon.

I'm so happy that I met you.

And you gave me warmth.

Thank you for coming into my lonely life.

I don't think I can do this. Do I really need to do this?

Really?

My gosh, I can't do this.

You left something out.

Gosh.

I love you.

I love you too.

You'd better edit it well.

Why would I edit this?

Then who's going to do it for me? I don't have any friends or family.

Hey, you can't say that to me.

I blame the fine dust.

You saw the news, right?

Fine dust can cause brain damage...

that could lead to dementia.

I'm sure you noticed,

but I am a true people person.

You can say that I'm one of those people...

who others find approachable.

Being that way...

even though I'm a top celebrity...

lead to people crossing me,

but I'm a nice enough person...

to let it slide.

Get it?

But recently, I haven't been able to control my emotions...

and I've lost my appetite.

It doesn't make sense how I've lost my motivation.

Seeing money in my account made me want to dance...

and I used to feel full with two pieces of lettuce.

So why do you think...

I'm experiencing such abnormal symptoms?

It's because of the fine dust.

Do you get it now?

You definitely have a problem, I can tell you that.

("Kang Woo Won, the Victim of Aggravated Hate Comments")

I knew it.

Is it bad?

Overwhelming stress...

can lead to obsession or compulsory disorders.

Our minds try to fight off the stress...

by activating its defense mechanisms.

Are you saying...

that I'm obsessing over...

fine dust?

Haven't you been obsessing over trivial things more so lately?

See for yourself. There's nothing there.

- You can't take it back. - But I wrote it.

Taking things back is the worst.

Not at all!

Why would an A-lister like me obsess over the little things?

Who cares if someone cries?

Who cares if someone throws away food?

You've probably noticed this, but I don't have the time...

to obsess over some note.

Experiencing emotional highs...

and then depression...

could mean you have bipolar disorder.

It's also called manic depression.

I know what that is.

It may not seem like a big deal,

but if left untreated...

As long as I'm not just depressed.

I at least have good moments.

Once again,

my agency overreacted.

Hold on.

I'll give you an autograph maybe next time.

It's your prescription.

(Prescription)

I told you it was nothing.

Is that what the doctor said?

Did you really think that haters online...

made me depressed?

No, it's just that you've been...

like my cat who's lovesick.

What do you mean?

Lovesick?

Didn't I tell you?

My cat has been hospitalized because of it.

What were the cat's symptoms?

- It was depressed all day. - Depressed, check.

- It barely ate its meals. - Not eating, check.

It wouldn't even play.

Well...

You're being just like it.

Unbelievable.

A lovesick cat?

As if that could ever be true.

What?

- Wait... - What is it?

I think I just saw someone.

Who? Where?

I must be going crazy.

I don't see her now.

What?

(Record of Statement)

Why did you do this...

to Chan Mi?

I turned it off.

You kidnapped my daughter...

and threatened me.

If you're sorry about any of that,

just be honest with me this once.

Tell me why you did it.

Do you know...

who the easiest fall guy is?

The one blinded by vengeance.

You see,

Chan Mi was running wild trying to find Michael,

the man who killed Kwon Min Seok.

To put her in her place,

I knew I had to teach her a lesson.

She's the reason he's dead.

Baek Chan Mi...

had your husband killed.

You want revenge, don't you?

Well, I...

have an idea.

You crazy cow!

As if you could ever punish me.

You'll never be able to put me behind bars.

Sooner or later, you'll end up just like me too.

(Hamyeong High School)

I asked for this meeting...

because Joo Yeon...

has been caught in the middle of school bullying.

Yes, I'm aware.

As her homeroom teacher, I should've paid more attention.

I'm truly sorry about that.

No, please don't be. I'm the one who should apologize.

Sorry?

I've been sending her to school,

but I never made time to meet her teacher.

Things have been hectic with work...

and managing the house.

I should've realized what was going on.

It's all my fault, and I apologize.

Still, there's no need for you to apologize like this.

I should. How Joo Yeon behaved was wrong.

Truth be told,

I knew what was going on.

I don't know...

where she was taught to bully her friends like that.

Deep inside though, she isn't a bad person.

I will get through to her...

and make sure that she doesn't do anything like this again.

Ms. Hwang, what are you talking about?

Aren't we talking about my daughter?

Joo Yeon isn't the bully.

She's in the middle of a school bullying incident,

but she's not the bully?

Then what is she?

She's the victim.

Ms. Hwang?

Wait, could you give me a second?

So my daughter...

You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd, wearing makeup,

and getting into fights!

My daughter was being bullied?

(Ointment)

Why did the other girls hit her?

I mean...

How often and how brutally was she hit?

Why?

Please tell me why.

What did she ever do to them?

We'll only get to the truth once the committee investigates,

but statements from other students...

all point to Joo Yeon being the victim,

so the committee will be formed soon.

The parents of those who bullied her...

will also be attending the hearing.

So what if I skip my classes? What's it to you anyway?

You've never shown any interest,

so why are you up in my business today?

What do you mean I don't show any interest?

Which class am I in?

Tell me. Which class am I in?

You're being hilarious, you know.

Just go back to how you have always been.

Honey, no! Please calm down.

- How dare you glare at me! - This isn't right, honey.

Let go of me!

It's me.

I see you're still alive.

You were brought along as a watchdog,

but you tried to steal from your owner instead.

You got what you deserved.

I helped you three years ago,

so I'm begging you to return the favor.

You should be grateful that I'm not tossing you out...

like trash...

instead of asking me for help.

Three years ago,

you talked to Michael, did you not?

What are you talking about?

You'd better remember,

or I'll tell them everything I know!

What do you mean I talked to Michael?

That's nonsense.

If I hadn't...

met you three years ago,

I wouldn't be in this mess.

You had a man killed?

Chairman Yoon was taken care of,

so just clean up any loose ends.

You're insane.

(3 years ago)

You've completely lost it!

Your hands are already dirty.

Saying that they aren't will only make them dirtier.

I'm nothing like you, you murderer.

If I'm caught by the police,

what do you think will happen to you?

Once he receives some of these photos,

he'll be on board.

Only with the new lithography technology...

can the 176-layer 4D NAND Flash be launched.

Make sure you secure the product.

I told you to standby until backup arrived.

Why would she go after him alone?

Track where she went!

(Chief Tak Sang Gi)

Darn it!

Michael!

You're under arrest...

for violating the Prevention of Divulgence Act.

As if an arrest will stop a scumbag like you.

Forget the law. You're not...

getting out of here alive!

Chan Mi, snap out of it.

Don't you see all those civilians?

(Director Myeong Gye Cheol)

(November 10, 2016, Director Myeong Gye Cheol)

Director Myeong Gye Cheol of Il Kwang Hitech.

Are you the infamous Michael?

I hear you're after...

the lithography technology developed by Unixen Corporation.

What matters most is the timing.

Could I get my hands on it as fast as possible?

What's more important is that...

we do it without the intelligence bureau knowing.

Could it be done before Unixen applies for a patent?

A smaller window requires a bigger payment.

Money's not an issue for me.

From what I hear,

you're the best in your field.

November 17, 9 p.m.

Meet me on the second floor of Busan Port's passenger terminal.

What if...

Chief Seo has the recording? Wouldn't that be trouble for you?

Then we must make sure he loses it.

But he's being investigated by IA at the moment.

Could it be possible?

Finding and destroying the file will be impossible.

But killing whoever knows its location is easy enough.

I don't think I follow.

Once the only person knows the location of the file dies,

the recording will stay buried forever.

I heard that Chief Seo is currently being interrogated.

The man should be delivered some hot soup.

I'd hate for him to die on an empty stomach.

I should never have done his dirty work.

If only I reported him instead of aiding him.

You know,

when I was ordered back to the field,

I wasn't fond of it...

but I was also thrilled.

I had been feeling like a useless piece at the NIS.

Life wasn't fun,

I felt pathetic,

but I wasn't brave enough to actually quit the agency.

So being called in for this mission...

felt like the universe was saying that I was still useful...

and that I had something to offer.

It was as if...

someone had given me strength...

and it felt good.

But...

look at how much of a fool I am.

I didn't even know what my daughter was going through.

That's one lousy mother, right?

I had no idea that she was hurting...

and all I cared about was the mission.

Chan Mi, what's going on?

Over here!

Over here. Is anybody there?

And that concludes the sales plan for 2020.

That'll be all.

Mr. Yoon.

Mr. Yoon?

Oh, right, sorry about that.

- My gosh. - Goodness.

Sir, are you all right?

Yes.

In here. Doctor, come quick.

Check her blood pressure.

Call the code team and bring the defibrillator.

Yes, doctor.

Code blue!

I'm all right.

- Hello? - You need to get here right away.

The patient you asked about is in critical condition.

- Sir? - Mr. Yoon!

Mr. Yoon?

- 100 Joules. - Charging.

Clear!

- 200 Joules. - Charging.

Clear!

- 300 Joules. - But that's too high.

300 Joules!

Charging 300 Joules.

Clear!

Can you please hurry?

Bring her back, darn it!

Again. 300 Joules.

Charging 300 Joules.

Clear!

Want to know a secret?

I...

am Michael.

Do you know why my identity is still a mystery?

It's because I get rid of anyone who can ID me.

(White Collar)

(National Intelligence Service)

I see everyone's ordering their food in because of the rain.

What took so long?

- I ordered it ages ago. - My apologies, sir.

Is this all the meat they serve?

Didn't you get me a larger portion?

It cost 12 dollars,

so it had to be the smaller one.

- What? - We were told not to serve...

dishes that cost over 10 dollars to those being interrogated.

Which jerk gave that order?

You, sir.

Chan Mi, do you hear me?

Are you all right?

Michael...

That's the first thing you say after escaping death?

I saw him.

What are you doing? Are you insane?

I saw him.

You saw Michael?

What are you doing? Do you have a death wish?

You're not in a condition to go anywhere.

Michael killed Pi Cheol Woong and Tak Sang Gi.

Who do you think is next?

Chief Seo.

Not even Michael...

could infiltrate the NIS and get to Chief Seo.

- Right? - The person you have reached...

No one is answering.

You can't.

You stay here and leave this to us.

You're not in a state to go anywhere.

You must stay put.

Stay here.

Seriously?

Why does it say I ordered a larger portion on the receipt?

This is the Industry Security Department.

Stop the delivery man for me.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Excuse me. Hold on.

Wait up!

Can't you hear me?

Maybe it's because of the rain.

Lock down all the exits...

and activate extra security measures.

Yes, sir.

What?

- Call an ambulance! - Yes, sir.

- Get on it. - Yes, sir.

Chief Seo? Sir!

Don't go.

I won't let you go again.

Never.

(Good Casting)

- He killed Chief Seo. - It's the same tattoo.

So it could be Michael.

The killer from the video seemed familiar.

Get back to full health first.

I remember everything now. She'll pay for this.

Who said you could ghost me?

- Mr. Kang... - You are to stay right by my side.

My dad died because of Director Myeong's ledger.

Just hold my hand.

I found an odd entry in the ledger.

They should know that they're only digging their graves.

Let's share what we know.

I'm willing to put my life on the line.

It's time you gave me your answer. We can knock CEO Yoon down.

I want him here alive. Bring him to me.

Track Mr. Byun's location!

(Epilogue)

Don't go.

(15 years ago)

Can I ask you for something...

if my grades improve this time?

What would that be?

That you won't suddenly disappear.

It's what I want from you.

When I first lost my mom,

it felt odd but then I got used to it.

After a while,

it suddenly hit me that I'd never see her again.

It was terrifying.

Knowing that someone I love can disappear from my life...

and not being able to see that person again...

scares me.

So...

don't you ever disappear from my life.
