Original subtitles

What exactly is the deal they're making today?

What are you doing?

Do you want me to make a big deal out of this?

What is it that you're hiding?

Calm down.

I'm just trying to stop this.

What exactly are you trying to stop?

What else? I'm trying to stop Agent Chang from making a drug deal.

Kim Jae Hwan gave me a tip-off when he came back to the agency.

He said an employee of Cheonin Pharmaceuticals...

would come to Korea to meet the Wolun Gang.

He said that?

So I was keeping an eye on them.

And Agent Chang came here...

as an employee of Cheonin Pharmaceuticals.

Nothing was reported to me,

so I was shocked to know it was one of my men.

If Chang Chun Woo really is with the Samhwa Gang,

someone will have to take responsibility for this.

I'll tell them to prepare a report for the executive director.

Who are you?

An employee of Cheonin Pharmaceuticals will come to Korea.

I'm the one who tipped her off.

People upstairs are tailing the Samhwa Gang, right?

And they think they'll lead you to where the deal will take place.

Those stupid punks.

So it was false intel?

Why? Why would you do that?

You knew how devoted I was to the agency.

I put my life on the line for the last 30 years.

Don't you think I deserve to be rewarded?

But look at me now?

Now I clean up the mess in the basement...

and check other people's operations.

All I got is this melted mess of skin.

Isn't it pathetic?

I thought it was a glorious scar.

Glorious?

Glorious?

I told Director Kang.

How much did you tell him?

I even told him it was Mr. Kim who told us...

someone from Cheonin Pharmaceuticals would come to Korea.

Where is Mr. Kim?

He's still in the building.

His car's still here, and he didn't pass the detection system.

It's time he left.

Go downstairs and check on what he's doing.

Yes, ma'am.

Did you say glorious? This is something glorious.

The one who gave me this kind of glorious reward...

wasn't this country.

It wasn't the people who live happy lives thanks to my sacrifice.

It wasn't this agency that's been shoving me around!

If I had known it was going to be like this,

I would've worked for the wealthy ones earlier.

- Am I right? - You piece of trash.

Who told you it wasn't drugs but Moebius?

You sneaked in here.

That means Director Kang or Deputy Commissioner Do don't know.

Having important intel in the agency...

doesn't make you breathe easily.

It makes you feel suffocated.

Tell me. Who gave you the intel?

Tell me.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir, are you there?

Gosh, where did the old man go?

(Take when necessary)

Hey!

Stop! Seo Su Yeon!

Please answer the phone.

Come on.

(Episode 2)

Boss, how much longer do we have to drive around?

We'll arrive soon so keep driving.

Yes, sir.

Where is my boss?

He's behind us.

Really?

Where are you taking us?

That boss of yours.

He's kind of suspicious.

I did a little digging.

Some of his deals fell through but everything else is squeaky clean.

Have you noticed anything suspicious about him?

Are you afraid of me?

Hey.

Sir, you're bleeding.

Oh, I cut myself while cleaning.

Your eyes are bloodshot. Are you feeling okay?

Step aside.

Hey, we have a rat. A rat!

I double-checked.

How do they know it's Moebius and not drugs?

Only some of your guys and I know about this.

Find the rat and kill him before I arrive.

We've arrived, sir.

Tell the guys to stop driving around and get back to the office.

Yes, sir.

We're here.

Get out.

The truck and SUV are both coming with a 5km radius.

Everyone, slow down. Don't make any rash decisions.

The SUV is going onto Highway One.

Hold on. We passed this street before.

I think they're going back to the Wolun Gang office.

They're going back to the office?

Why aren't you here yet?

Call me back as soon as you hear this recording.

They're going into the Wolun Gang office.

They drove around for two hours to go back to where they left?

Does that mean they just went around in circles?

Samhwa Gang began moving.

I'm certain Mr. Kim called them.

Hurry back.

Field Team One.

Do you have eyes on Wolun Gang's office?

I do.

They're not the same people who left this place.

They're different members.

What about Chang Chun Woo?

He's not here. We lost him.

- Where did we lose him? - This is Field Team Two.

I think they changed cars and left through the back.

I'm sorry.

Are you saying all the cars we followed were decoys?

Find out where the switched vehicle went within five minutes. Right now!

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

Agent Oh Kyung Seok.

- Yes, ma'am. - Follow me.

I sent Chief Park down to look into some documents for me.

- Tell him to get back here. - Yes, ma'am.

Should I go to Chief Park's desk?

Go to the file storage room.

Chief Park!

Chief Park, are you...

Sir.

Sir, it's Oh Kyung Seok.

Sir.

Call Deputy Commissioner Do.

Be exact. What happened?

It was so sudden that I'm not really sure myself.

I took her down to the basement instead of the interrogation room.

Good job. What about Chief Park?

He passed away in the Emergency Room.

He was asphyxiated.

Wait for me inside.

I'm going to get some air first.

Okay.

That little traitor.

He should've just quietly made the deal.

How dare he kill someone here?

- Director Kang! - Su Yeon.

What's going on?

What on earth have you been up to?

Were you okay?

Don't let your guard down and stick by my side.

You keep playing games because I'm playing along.

Don't belittle me.

I'm just moving on the boss' orders to get things done right.

What?

It's a scratch-off lotto.

You win.

It's a special day.

You should've gotten something better.

Does killing a man make it a special day?

Su Yeon, you were the one in contact with Chang Chun Woo?

Yes, sir. If you check my phone, you'll see it's true.

Are you sure they were in contact?

Yes, I think she's telling the truth.

There's a record of calls through a secure network,

and they texted each other.

There's nothing other than that.

Then what happened with Jae Hwan?

He got in contact with Agent Chang,

but he was taken off the case, so he had nobody to help him.

I thought he would help me,

so I went to the file storage room.

I accidentally saw a file for the Domestic Bureau,

and I found out the deal between Samhwa Gang and Cheonin...

weren't drugs,

but it was something called Moebius.

Moebius?

Mr. Kim was acting as a broker to send Moebius to Russia.

That's why he attacked me when he realized I figured out the deal.

Are you saying that Kim Jae Hwan is a traitor?

Are you sure that he didn't purposely leak the intel...

that someone from Cheonin Pharmaceuticals...

Seo Su Yeon. Follow me.

The situation got messed up because of you.

You accidentally saw a file for the Domestic Bureau?

Darn it. My gosh.

Are you kidding me?

Did you know?

Kim Jae Hwan, whom you have so much respect for,

is someone who's been taking bribes since a decade ago.

I figured everything out as soon as he said he would give me intel...

and told me about Cheonin Pharmaceuticals.

You should've just stayed quiet and done nothing.

How dare you meddle?

What do you think you can do?

Agent Chang Chun Woo is in the field,

so I'll get him to help us catch Mr. Kim.

My gosh. You're really clueless, aren't you?

The Samhwa Gang member in contact with the broker, Kim Jae Hwan,

is Chang Chun Woo.

Were you surprised that we weren't dealing with drugs?

The boss said this to me when he took me in.

In the era he grew up in, one could make it to the top...

as long as they tried hard.

But in the era I will be living in, that isn't possible.

Then he said that...

I should become a loyal dog.

If I do that,

he'll make sure I live in the best cage, eat the best food,

and live the rest of my life in comfort.

Even dogs have to meet a good master.

As long as we have Moebius,

we can control the heavens and earth.

(Innovative Activities Board)

But this punk broker said he left already,

so what's taking him so long?

All he did was send me a text.

How rude.

He'll be here in two hours.

How would you know?

Because I'm in contact with him.

You're the one who sent me that text?

Don't belittle me. We should get things done right.

My gosh, you...

Other than telling you he'd be here in two hours,

did he say anything else?

There's a rat.

Find and kill the rat before I get there.

No.

The agent that was in contact with Mr. Kim...

was Agent Chang Chun Woo?

You really had no idea?

Even if they were in contact,

they might not know each other.

Mr. Kim wouldn't have revealed himself and approached Samhwa Gang.

If they were in it together, why would he call me?

He knows there's nothing I could do inside this organization.

What if they're not in it together, but they betrayed us separately?

What if you, Seo Su Yeon,

were being used by Chang Chun Woo?

Su Yeon,

do you want me to give you a chance to make it up?

A chance?

If this operation goes south,

it will be you who will end up getting destroyed.

Yes, it is a chance indeed.

I'm aware that you have a lot of enemies.

I thought you wanted to save Chang Chun Woo...

because they suspected him to be a rat.

Whether he is a rat or not,

that doesn't concern you.

You wanted to arrest members of the Samhwa Gang, acquire Moebius,

and get rid of our agent for betraying the agency.

Handling all of these matters at the scene...

is your goal, isn't it?

You knew that Mr. Kim gave you the wrong intel.

Despite that, you didn't stop him...

because handling a disaster is...

a more efficient way to show off.

- So what? - If Agent Chang was a traitor,

it wouldn't be better because you would catch him at the scene.

And if he wasn't a traitor,

it wouldn't matter because disasters could strike during operations.

- So what's your point? - You never cared...

about the safety of Agent Chang.

So you sold your soul to the agency for your job.

But you shouldn't turn into a monster.

Mr. Kim could have left after providing you with a cause.

But he ended up bringing more trouble.

So you're the one who's anxious because it's not going as planned,

not a mere agent like myself.

It's you who planned this despite knowing everything.

Should I give you a chance to redeem yourself?

Is everything Su Yeon said true?

We can talk about this later.

We need to acquire Moebius first.

Ma'am.

What will you do with Su Yeon?

She'll wait in my office for now.

I put another agent to watch her.

There's nothing she can do. Is that really necessary?

I haven't been here for a while. I never got to say hello.

I'll go after I talk to the other agents here.

- That's not allowed. - I'll only say hello.

It's been a while. Have you all been well?

Ms. Seo.

I got what you wanted.

I set it up, so you can check his location if Agent Chang calls.

Take the walkie talkies.

Okay.

But why do you need three?

I want you to wear one of them.

I need your help.

Are you joking with me? Or do you think I'm a pushover?

I'll say that I didn't comply with my orders and acted on my own...

without talking to my superior...

regarding the incident with Mr. Kim,

everything else that happened so far,

and everything that's about to happen now.

- What is it that you want? - Let me...

follow Agent Chang.

I can set this up behind the curtains.

But that's all I can do.

You're on your own after that.

One more thing.

I need you to trust me this time.

I will.

But you need to prove to me that you are right to believe...

that Chang Chun Woo isn't a rat.

Agent Seo escaped the building.

- What? - I just saw her leave...

in one of our vehicles.

It seems she's headed to the field with a new recruit.

She's been communicating with Chang Chun Woo on her own.

She caused an explosion to access confidential files.

She knew that Mr. Kim was a broker.

But she still failed to capture him.

Since she was feeling the heat, she talked to the new recruit...

into helping her and went to the field.

That's what she's doing.

Track the vehicle Seo Su Yeon is on.

And tell the entire team to follow them.

Our goal is to acquire Moebius before Mr. Kim takes it.

And this entire operation will not go on any record.

Did you plan this with Su Yeon?

This is too dangerous.

We must stop her instead of letting her go after him.

Are you worried about her right now?

I could lose my job over this.

I told you someone had to take responsibility for this operation.

Su Yeon volunteered to do so.

Have you been well?

Yes. Let's leave.

Is Agent Chang that good of an agent?

I thought about the reasons why you would go this far for him.

And that's the only reason I can come up with.

It's connected.

I'll track the location.

Agent Chang.

I arrived at the site and am waiting for the deal.

I'm somewhere around a factory complex near the west coast.

But I can't be certain.

It's fine.

I'm tracking your location now. I'm on my way.

Did you report everything to the agency?

Yes. But this will not go on record.

We must catch the Wolun Gang and the broker and acquire the item.

But if we fail, this entire operation...

including what we're talking about right now...

will be considered as me acting on my own.

And you and I will not be protected.

A member of the Wolun Gang is suspicious of me.

That's why this must succeed.

We're not dealing with drugs today.

It's called Moebius.

We found out too.

You need to stall time until I get there.

- And... - I will trust you this time.

I'll wait.

Your mission is to hand over Moebius to the broker...

and let the deal go through.

I will be following you and your mission.

Wang Oh is looking for you.

Who is the guy that's talking to Agent Chang?

Wi Gu Pyeong.

He's a member who joined the Samhwa Gang...

the same year as Agent Chang.

Wi Gu Pyeong.

They seem very close.

It's not true...

that Agent Chang betrayed the agency. Right?

We're not dealing with drugs today. Right?

This is big, right?

We'll get rich if this goes through. Right?

You should stay out of this after this deal.

Why? So you can be rich by yourself?

You idiot. Don't you see how dangerous this deal is?

After this deal...

Gosh.

Where have you been hiding?

You don't need to know.

If you don't want to answer me,

can't you just tell me before I ask you?

What about the broker? When will he be here?

He's on his way. Just wait.

What is he like?

A middle-aged man.

From what I heard,

he used to work for the country, but he became a traitor.

Yesterday,

we filtered out some rats from North Korea.

They tried to intercept our stuff,

thinking that we were dealing with drugs today.

It's already hard to filter out agents from Korea.

Now, we have to deal with rats from North Korea.

On top of that, the broker is a traitor too.

That explains why I am sensitive. Doesn't it?

You're sure...

that there's no rat among you guys. Right?

I suggest you wash up.

Rats love places that stink.

That punk. He can be so sharp-tongued.

Is that the broker?

Put him on speakerphone.

Let me listen to his voice too.

Sir, what's taking you so long?

Who is this?

He's a member of our gang. Are you on your way here?

- Did you catch him? - Who?

Did you catch the rat?

A rat?

What's he talking about?

I told you that someone was leaking intel.

Check the Wolun Gang members in Korea.

Darn it. What are you insinuating? Are you calling us rats?

Do you have proof?

I'm sure of it!

They figured out it was Moebius only after reading some files.

You crazy jerk. You!

Find the rat unless you want me to get furious.

Hey.

Why didn't you tell me that there was a rat?

Why?

If I believe him, you're the rat.

Are you?

You... Darn it.

I thought I cleaned house.

Who is this rat? Darn it!

Yes.

We can check everyone one at a time.

Go check right now. Do it now!

Bring everyone here!

If there's a rat, we must catch him.

- But not today. - What?

If someone leaked intel, this deal is dangerous.

I'll talk to the boss. Pull out your guys.

Darn it.

I've been preparing this for months. That rat ruined everything!

They are pulling out?

The deal is off.

Why did you do that without talking to me?

Are you kidding me?

Once they check everyone, they'll know it's me.

You said you trusted me.

You don't care if we lose everything we've done so far?

No. I don't care. I'll stop.

I want to put an end to this sickening life.

Are you quitting the agency...

or your life as a gang member?

You've been radio silent.

And you haven't done any of your missions as a black agent.

But you worked hard as a gang member.

You killed numerous people we didn't order,

so you could gain ground with the Samhwa Gang.

But you can't go through with this deal?

Is this you turning down your mission,

deserting your duties, and joining the Samhwa Gang?

How can the agency reinstate you? On what grounds?

What do you expect me to do?

What more could I do right now?

You need to prove your innocence...

yourself.

I hear footsteps.

Agent Chang, someone is outside.

(Keep the fire door closed.)

What do you want?

He found out everything.

Send Agent Chang's location to the agency and call them.

Yes, ma'am.

Deputy Commissioner Do, I request backup to the location I'm sending.

The armed team is on their way. They will take a while to get there.

Okay.

Bang.

You're here.

Why are you doing this to me?

I knew that someone was off about your behaviors.

You would have beaten me up to a pulp...

to catch the rat once you found out there was one.

But you didn't even suspect me.

Why could that be?

Because you were with a rat.

You had no idea, right?

I found myself another rat!

I told you there was this North Korean guy with us yesterday. Right?

That jerk kept calling his girlfriend.

So I called the number just to be safe.

And then his phone rang.

You're not it. Right? Tell me you're not.

Answer me. You're not the rat!

You idiot.

I could have used you.

But thanks to you,

I could help my country a lot.

Step back unless you want to get hurt.

Come on. Step back.

Are rats this tenacious?

Or do tenacious people become rats?

Stop fighting.

A rat is bound to meet its fate...

in the stinking sewer.

- Hey, let's go. - Okay.

Go.

Go now.

- Darn it. - What just happened?

- Get him! - Darn it.

You crazy rat.

They are all on our side.

How will you get out of this?

Hey.

I'm going to kill this rat.

He killed Wang Oh.

Let me do the honor.

Bring the boat to the dock.

I'll finish the deal by myself.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

- Okay. - Okay.

You were suspected because of me.

I'm sorry.

Gu Pyeong, you can still make it out.

I'll help you get out.

Do you know why I only stayed with you...

after joining the Samhwa Gang?

Because you weren't like the other guys.

Remember what you told me?

People show true colors right before they die.

I told you everything.

So I'm not a rat to you, right?

You...

are not a rat.

You should never be a rat.

Don't end up like me.

Gu Pyeong.

We finally meet.

I sent everyone back like you ordered and got Moebius.

Did I prove who I am...

and what organization I'm a part of now?

Our deal isn't over yet.

Hand over Moebius to the broker...

and complete the deal.

Is this not enough?

I've already done plenty.

I can't do it anymore. I really can't.

I now understand exactly how it feels...

to be used.

You knew what kind of deal...

was going down today. Didn't you?

Since you were in contact with the broker.

The broker you were in contact with as a member of the Samhwa Gang...

was a traitor on our side.

He got paid by the Russian Mafia...

on the condition that he handed over Moebius.

Once he found out we knew about Moebius,

he killed one of our agents.

But you were secretly in contact with someone like him.

- I didn't know he was an agent. - Why didn't you say anything?

No, he has nothing to do with me.

How will you prove that...

you're not a traitor when you've been in contact with a traitor?

You haven't decided which side you should line up with.

I had no idea.

You used a broker so that you could get out of it...

- regardless of who caught you. - I had no idea!

You used me!

I did it...

because I didn't know where I belonged.

Find the broker yourself.

Catching the broker in front of everyone...

is the only way you can come back.

What if they abandon me like they did then?

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

There is no next time. This is your last chance.

What if I make a different choice?

Then I will make my own decision.

Have you heard from Seo Su Yeon yet?

No, sir.

Deputy Commissioner Do.

What's going on?

All of the members of Wolun Gang have gone back.

What about Moebius? Did you get it to Jae Hwan?

Agent Chang has Moebius,

and the deal hasn't gone through yet, but he should be there soon.

Requesting back up from the armed team.

The armed team will be there soon. Keep us updated.

Connect me with the armed team.

- You've been connected. - The broker will arrive soon.

Join Agents Seo and Oh, who are at the scene,

and make getting Moebius your top priority.

Yes, ma'am.

Send them the photos of the agents, so they know who to look for.

Yes, ma'am.

What about Chang Chun Woo.

We won't give Chang Chun Woo any support...

until we know for sure where he stands.

I did it...

because I didn't know where I belonged.

Find the broker yourself.

This is your last chance.

What if they abandon me like they did then?

The broker is here.

The Russian Mafia is with him.

What about the rat?

Be careful.

He's a veteran who worked as a black agent for a long time.

It's over here.

- Clear. - Clear.

Go in.

Good job.

But here's the thing.

Hiding a weapon in your shoe...

is something that I did first.

The rat that Seo Su Yeon was in charge of was you.

Agent Chang's identity has been revealed to the broker.

I'm entering the scene.

Seo Su Yeon. Get Moebius first!

Armed Team. Get Moebius first.

You know why I'm doing this.

Do you think the agents outside are here to rescue you?

No. They came to get this.

"Commitment of the anonymous"? "Loyalty to the people"?

"To protect and bring glory to Korea"?

Forget it.

You and I are just being used.

People will doubt us until the end.

Agent Chang. I'm in front of where the deal's going on.

Agent Chang Chun Woo.

Agent Chang Chun Woo!

Chang Chun Woo isn't answering.

What happened? Update us on the situation, Su Yeon.

The broker is dead.

What about Moebius?

I will get it.

I told you to trust me.

Why didn't you trust me?

You told me to show everyone...

what it is that I wanted.

Is there anyone who wants to see me...

prove myself?

The reason why you showed up at the scene all of a sudden...

I know what it is.

If I didn't kill Lee Gun Ho...

and we lost him that night,

would you still help me like you did today?

You're right.

I was really grateful to you because you were the one who put a bullet...

through that punk's head.

I knew that you were lost and shaken,

but I followed you around to convince you.

Everything you're saying...

is right.

Even if you come back to the agency,

they'll use you as a Samhwa Gang member...

for the rest of your life.

And when you die,

no one will know your name, age, or where you're from.

You'll be buried somewhere as an unknown man.

It's always been that way.

It won't change now.

If you know that, why?

Why do I want you to come back?

Because the path you're going to choose...

is deep in the darkness.

The place where I belong is at least...

a little brighter.

You wanted to get out of the darkness.

So you have struggled mightily.

I know you have.

If you stay in the darkness for too long,

you won't even realize you're in the darkness.

Either way,

there's always darkness.

This is what I choose.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

I won't.

Agent Seo, you should...

make a choice too.

Moebius...

is secured.

In this operation, the Foreign Bureau...

successfully secured Moebius...

that the Samhwa Gang and Cheonin Pharmaceuticals developed.

In the process,

we eliminated a black agent named Kim Jae Hwan...

who betrayed our agency and tried to make a deal with the Russians.

And his body was recovered.

The award goes to the chief of the Support and Management Division...

of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, Seo Su Yeon.

How is your life in Seoul?

Are you getting used to it?

It's the same as before.

It seems you and Director Kang have grown apart lately.

About Chang Chun Woo.

If I knew where he was buried, I'd visit him to thank him...

for the big prize I got.

It's too bad.

Isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Are you off work?

I got evaluated for a field agent position today.

And I'm a field agent now.

Who are you going to work with?

Agent Kim Dong Wook and Agent Han Ji Hyuk.

Agent Han Ji Hyuk.

It won't be easy.

On a happy day like this, we should have a drink.

Chief Seo.

Congratulations on your promotion and happy birthday.

It's your birthday, right?

How did you know?

Considering the kind of relationship we're in,

we should at least know each other birthdays.

What kind of relationship is that?

What kind?

The kind that makes us share secrets,

read each other's minds without saying a word,

and have a mutual understanding.

Cheers.

Chief.

When you shot Agent Chang Chun Woo that day...

It's nothing.
