THIS DRAMA SERIES IS FICTIONAL, AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PLACES, PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS AND EVENTS

He left like that and I stayed behind.

The ANSP was downsized the next year,

so the Black Team was disbanded.

I was the only one left in the bygone era.

MOVING

WE WORK IN THE SHADOWS TO PROTECT THE SUNLIT LAND

With the reorganization,

I had to get into any department.

I couldn't lose my job.

Everything seemed foreign.

I had to make a living.

GENERAL AFFAIRS TEAM 2

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Oh!

Hey, my bag!

Ugh!

Ahh!

Jang Juwon!

Goodness.

Did you leave your bag again?

You should've stayed home.

Why did you come out?

I was getting groceries.

My goodness.

-Are you hungry? -Yeah.

Let's have barbecue for dinner.

SANGROK, CIVIL SERVANTS

Here comes the bride and groom.

EPISODE 13: JANG JUWON

-Gosh, I'm hungry. -Go wash up. Let's eat barbecue.

GENERAL AFFAIRS OFFICE

-I'll take these. -Okay.

THIS FORMULA HAS AN ERROR

THE PROGRAM IS NOT RESPONDING

By the way,

is today a special day?

It's just the day we eat barbecue once a month.

It feels strange to eat pork belly without soju.

Why didn't you get any?

What fun is it to drink on my own?

You don't drink alcohol for the fun of it. You drink it like water.

Have you never been drunk?

I don't get drunk no matter how much I drink.

Isn't that a good thing?

Not necessarily.

What is it like to get drunk?

It depends.

Sometimes I drink to feel good

and sometimes I drink to forget something bad.

I wish...

I could get drunk.

Has work been tough?

It's tough...

because it isn't tough.

Do you miss being in the field?

I feel like...

I'm worthless to this world.

You have worth to me.

And I have worth to you.

Hmm?

Are you crying again?

The wrap was too big.

Whatever.

What do we have to worry about?

We have a home we can live in, we have each other,

we can have barbecue once a month, and...

Anyway, that's all I need.

There's nothing we can't do as a family.

Do what you want.

Do what you want, okay?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

EXTENSION OF RENTAL HOUSING FOR CIVIL SERVANTS

Excuse me.

How do you do this?

Ah.

You live in the rental housing for civil servants, right?

-Yes. -You want to continue living there?

Yes.

Then you must apply for this before the term expires.

How do I do that?

You're renewing this every two years, aren't you?

Submit your property tax certificate, family relation certificate,

and most importantly,

include proof of your employment as a civil servant.

Got it?

Only...

civil servants can apply for this, right?

Of course.

-Ma'am. -Yes?

-One more bottle, please. -Yes, sir.

♪ Long live Korea, our country ♪

♪ Mugunghwa, three thousand li ♪

♪ Such a glorious land ♪

What are you doing there?

The motion sensor light went out.

Did you have a drink?

Yeah.

How much?

I drank 24 bottles.

And you aren't drunk?

No.

I want a new bag.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Let's get you a new bag.

I'm happy.

That's all that matters.

I'll just live like this.

Stop pushing.

Got it.

We're on the move.

We're shredding them right now.

It's an emergency, sir!

-We're on the way. -We're going.

Breaking news.

The Ministry of Defense

has discovered a wrecked North Korean submarine

early yesterday morning in Gangneung.

Based on the tracks left on the beach,

armed spy agents seem to have infiltrated our borders.

The entire army has been...

Excuse me.

My computer is acting weird. What should I do?

Restart it.

But everything I wrote will get deleted.

That's why you should've taken computer courses.

It's not the computer's fault.

See you tomorrow.

AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED

This sure suits you.

A shirt and a tie.

What are you doing here?

What?

Did you think you'd never see me again?

Have you returned to your job?

I'm getting prepared.

I thought you were permanently demoted.

If you know a lot of secrets,

they can't do that to you.

By the way,

do you think this suits you?

Stuck in this office,

staring into your monitor.

Checking the pay scales

to collect your petty salary.

Jeez.

This doesn't show your worth.

Don't you miss the old days?

Back then, you did things only you could do.

Let me make you an offer.

You're being given a chance.

A chance to prove your worth to the world.

North Korea used a submarine

to infiltrate 20 armed spies into the East Sea this morning.

One was captured, and eleven committed mass suicide,

but the remaining eight spies escaped.

We have a reporter at the scene of the incident.

This is Reporter Kim at the scene.

What you are currently seeing...

Who the hell is smoking?

The smell is going to get everywhere.

Under the cliff is the submarine the armed spies had been on.

These armed spies are estimated to have arrived at about 1:00 a.m...

Do I miss the old days?

Is something on your mind?

No.

Don't think about it too much.

I'll always be by your side.

Do what you want.

It has been one week since the armed spies infiltrated Gangneung.

Of the 26, one was caught.

It's barbecue day, so come home--

The bodies were found, but there has been no concrete progress.

So the search operation is expected to drag on for some time.

The joint search team of the military and police

found an armed spy who fled after shooting

near Gimabong, Okgye-myeon, and started the search operation,

but the search was unsuccessful.

It is estimated that five armed spies remain on the run...

OCTOBER 1996

INJE, GANGWON-DO

It was just a water deer.

That scared me.

All right. Rest for five minutes.

Yes, sir.

Watch duty.

-To your places. -Yes, sir.

Sir, do you think these guys already escaped to the North?

They couldn't have slipped through.

It has already been over ten days.

So many have died on our side, too.

By the way, who is the man all the way in the back?

Who?

Ah.

Don't worry about him.

He was following us since this morning,

but even the commander left him alone.

He told us to not even speak to him. He seems to be a civilian.

I heard he's a secret special agent sent by the government.

ANSP?

How would I know the details?

We just do as we're told.

Secret agents.

Is that even real?

I'm sure that's why he's here.

Get some rest.

Hey, is there any kimchi?

I'll look for some, sir.

-Enjoy the food. -Enjoy the food, sir.

-Enjoy your food, sir. -You, too.

May I come in?

Yes, come in.

Is there anything I can get for you?

I'm fine.

I thought you might be hungry.

It's still ho--

I'm the company commander of the third special forces brigade.

I was given the orders to work with you.

-Well, I'm... -It's all right.

I was ordered not to ask for your identity.

I see.

What is your shoe size?

I wear 280.

Same as me.

I'll lend you my combat boots.

I'll also get you a uniform, so please wear it.

Your civilian clothing stands out.

It might put our team in danger during an operation.

I understand.

The noodles will get soggy. Enjoy.

Thank you.

How can we see the spies with that?

The sound of the helicopter will scare them away.

It's already been three weeks. We must do whatever we can.

-Run! -At twelve o'clock!

-Hurry! -At nine o'clock!

-Hurry and move! -Hurry!

What kind of guys can evade even the helicopter?

Those fucking North Korean bastards.

Hands up! If you move, we'll shoot!

-Butterfly! -Railroads!

-I'm not someone shady. -Identify yourself!

I'm from the ANSP.

I heard an agent was already dispatched here.

Chief Min sent me. I heard a lot about you.

I'm Jo Raehyuk. I used to be in Anti-communist Division Three.

I'm Jang Juwon.

You seem older than me, so speak comfortably to me.

Rank is all that matters in an organization.

I'm a Grade Seven Junior Manager.

I worked for 20 years, but I'm lower than you.

You said you're in Anti-communist Division Three?

I used to work there.

But I was replaced

after getting caught pocketing some public funds.

Thankfully, Chief Min called me back.

Anyway, I heard legendary stories

about the Black Team while I was working there.

Back then, I used to wonder if those stories were real.

Well, I'm honored to be working with you from now on.

I hope we work well together.

What do you mean, "from now on"?

You didn't know?

Chief Min is trying to restart everything.

We have a very good opportunity.

So we have to make this a grand success no matter what.

We'll be able to proudly make a contribution.

This will become the basis for rebuilding our organization.

What organization do you mean?

Guryongpo.

Chief Min has been assembling people with powers that were hidden within the ANSP.

Thanks to that, I have been chosen, too.

Do you have some kind of ability, too?

Heavens, no.

I don't even have a code name.

There's one thing I have been acknowledged for.

How should I put it? I'm good at investigating.

Investigating?

Yes. Locating.

I'm very good at locating people.

No matter who it is, I can find them.

Everyone leaves a trace behind, you see.

Wherever they run away to or wherever they hide,

I never miss that trace.

I always pick up on the scent.

Don't worry.

From tomorrow, all you have to do is follow my lead.

Let's go that way.

Yes, sir.

49TH DAY OF THE SEARCH NORTHERN PART OF INJE

-Is this the right way? -Yes.

What are you actually looking for?

I'm looking for traces.

Based on the tracks left on the ice,

they passed this place about 30 minutes ago.

It's that way.

Wait.

There was something strange in their tracks.

Something strange?

The one guarding the rear seems to have powers.

The tracks and the strides are different.

That's one person's stride,

but a normal person can't run like that.

A normal person's stride is about 60 cm.

A trained soldier's quick pace stride is about 90 cm.

But even though it's on ice,

those strides are over two meters.

You don't think...

"If the South has them, the North can have them, too."

-What? -Chief Min told me that.

Some of the spies may have powers.

That's why he dispatched you.

That's excessive speculation.

It isn't just speculation.

After July 1994,

we got intel that the North

has been training people with abilities in response to the South.

We must confirm that now.

That way, we can rebuild the organization to fight against that.

July 1994 was...

Isn't it strange?

Over 30 military units

were sent to join the search team.

Hundreds of thousands of reservists were mobilized.

A total of two million searched for them for over 40 days,

but they all failed to find them.

This is solid evidence that some of them have powers.

Let's go after a little while.

It'll only take a moment.

The truth is, they only passed here about ten minutes ago.

There will soon be a shoot-out.

-What? -Wait.

Did you forget?

We must proudly accomplish something.

Our accomplishment will shine when we do something normal people can't.

We must show up when the normal people are in danger.

Wouldn't that be more dramatic?

What the fuck are you saying, you bastard?

Get down!

Open fire!

Spread out and fire!

Keep firing!

Fire!

Keep firing!

Cover him!

Cover him!

Charge!

Charge!

Hold fire!

Are you okay?

Hold fire!

Grenade!

What? No way.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Sir!

Eleven o'clock mortar fire!

Rockslide!

Run!

Charge!

Watch out!

Watch out!

Rocks falling! Watch out!

So you're the one with abilities.

The South continues to train sons of bitches.

I will come back

and seek revenge for the Republic.

What a shame about our accomplishment.

Is your face okay? How was that guy?

So there really was a strange guy as I said.

It's a shame that we lost him,

but it's fine since we confirmed his existence.

We have a reason to rebuild the organization.

Don't let me see you ever again.

I'll kill you.

During the operation, 13 armed spies were killed,

11 were found dead, and one was captured alive,

while our forces lost 21 in the battle including three colonel-level officers,

seven noncommissioned officers, and 11 enlisted men, and 31 were wounded.

Meanwhile, there's no trace of one armed spy who didn't get caught.

Our military is contemplating whether the remaining armed spy...

You fixed the light.

I did.

Thank you for coming back.

I want some ramyeon.

Hey, Mark.

Why didn't you tell me

that the North was training people with powers?

If you knew,

there might have been an unforeseen skirmish.

An unforeseen skirmish?

I suppose so.

MANY HIDDEN ASPECTS IN THE MOP-UP OPERATION OF ARMED SPIES

We have confirmation of the enemy's existence.

He was treated as missing,

but there's a much higher possibility that he returned to North Korea.

As long as we know the enemy's existence,

I'll be returning to the central soon.

And you will be forming

a new Black Team under my command.

Guryongpo, who played an active role in this operation, will take the lead.

He's an original member. Say hello to each other.

I'm Bongpyeong.

I was part of Team Mirim, which is now disbanded.

I'm old, but I don't have a lot of experience in the field.

I'm Naju.

I was in Mr. Shin's Overseas Operations Team Two.

I heard that there was an amazing character

among the original members.

I'm Jincheon.

I'm Jang Juwon.

I used to catch communist college students

back when I was at the Anti-communist Investigative Office.

But there was a small incident that got me demoted.

I'm fine in every other way,

but sometimes I just can't control my own strength.

Consider yourself lucky.

Another business trip?

I'll find out when I get there.

It's barbecue day, though.

Let's have it later.

I'm off.

It's only once a month.

Do you know what "once a month" means?

We get to eat barbecue?

We can actually eat barbecue any day.

Then what is it?

On that day, I hoped you wouldn't work late and come home early.

That's why I lured you with barbecue.

What kind of day is it?

It's my ovulation day.

You didn't know, did you?

Did you want to have a baby?

But I couldn't get pregnant.

We've been together for a long time.

I became more and more desperate.

I wanted to have a daughter that took after you.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

Why not?

Because I thought it was my fault.

What?

Don't you remember where and how we met?

I wondered if this is all because...

I lived like that.

I'm sorry.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Daddy.

ON A BUSINESS TRIP

-Let's say goodbye. -Have a safe trip, Dad.

It's for the country.

Do it with a sense of duty.

Let's say goodbye.

-Have a safe trip, Dad. -Have a safe trip.

Huisoo.

Shall we eat something yummy? What should we eat?

What should we eat?

ENTERING KOREA

Anyway, where did our great leader run to in such a rush?

His phone battery died, so I guess he went to call his family.

Despite the way he looks, he cares deeply for his family.

I want to go back and see my daughter, too.

Jeez. I'm not close to my son.

We've been chosen as the Black Team by our country.

Why do we worry about our families like civilians?

Yes.

Yes.

EMERGENCY PATIENT ENTRANCE

DEEPEST CONDOLENCES

CHIEF MOURNER OF THE LATE HWANG JIHEE

I'm here.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of Huisoo.
