(tense music)

DEOKYOON: Do you know why we ended up like this?

Kim Doosik.

It's because of him.

Kim Doosik.

So you know.

(breathes shakily)

Hand over the files.

(grunts)

(panting)

Ah.

JAEHAK: Nice shooting.

You're gifted, aren't you?

You've got skills.

I almost died.

(cocks gun)

You're lucky.

I had a silencer on.

I became an elite warrior with my shooting skills alone.

JAEHAK: Hey.

Say something.

(plops)

I have a story to tell about myself.

Do you want to hear?

(clanks)

(water splashing)

(grunts)

(tense music)

(water splashing)

(gasps)

Are you okay, kid?

Yes.

Thank you, Ms. Lee.

It's dangerous here. Hurry and evacuate.

Kisoo, get out of the school immediately.

What about you?

-Just go. -KISOO: Mr. Choi, it's dangerous.

Hurry and leave.

Go.

Go on.

(thudding in distance)

(Han Byul sobbing)

What the...

Kisoo. (wailing)

I...

-I just came to get the memory card. -Be quiet.

I'm so scared.

Quiet down.

(muffled crying)

Stop crying.

The situation out there is really strange.

We can't get caught.

Be quiet, seriously.

(muffled crying)

Stop crying, okay?

(muffled whine)

(tense music)

How did you come up here?

MIHYUN: And how did you come all the way here?

Where are my soldiers?

I'm the one asking the questions.

What happened to my soldiers?

I killed two.

(grunting)

She's not bad, but what's with you?

(grunts in frustration)

JUNHWA: By the way,

you’re a lot like someone I know.

(Bongseok grunting)

You have a father, don't you?

(grunts)

My father?

Yes, your father.

Kim Doosik.

Kim Doosik?

What happened...

to Kim Doosik?

YONGJUN: Kim Doosik, code name Moonsan.

The most elite black agent of the ANSP.

He will be entrusted with a top-secret assignment soon.

(groaning)

(officers groan)

(music ends)

(tense music)

(wheezing)

Don't go in there.

You shouldn't be able to speak.

Please.

Don't go in there.

I didn't shoot any of their vital points.

There isn't much time.

Save those who can survive.

DEOKYOON: Please...

(breathes shakily)

(Deokyoon groans weakly)

(ominous music)

EPISODE 18: SOUTH AND NORTH

CHIEF: We shouldn't just be sitting ducks.

If the South has them, we must have them, too.

Search every corner to find them.

Make sure to complete your mission

and repay the republic that spared you.

Yes, sir.

CHIEF: My security department agents will assist you.

To watch me?

Hey!

Have you already forgotten why you have no subordinates?

Harden your mind, or you'll be dead for nothing.

Understood?

Complete the mission at any cost.

Yes, sir.

CHIEF: Do not forget.

Sacrifices are inevitable.

(door opens)

(door closes)

YEAR 1995, MOUNT SURI

DEOKYOON: You comrades are soldiers with unrealized potential.

who pulled through the severe training.

Finish your last test to become a gifted.

We have no time to wait for your abilities to be awakened.

Even at this very moment,

the South Korean bastards would be plotting their scheme.

It's an honor for warriors to die in battle.

A life of humiliation...

is worse than death.

Break through the door of death.

Be born again as a gifted.

Once you pass this test,

you'll become elite warriors for our great republic.

(shudders)

Long last the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

MEN: Long last DPRK!

Protect the people!

MEN: Protect the people!

Comrades...

jump.

(soldiers whimpering)

Jump!

(guns clink)

Mother...

(soldiers sobbing)

Mother.

(wind howling)

(soldiers groaning)

(soldiers whimpering)

-(gunshots) -(soldiers scream)

(screams)

(yelps)

(dramatic music)

(sobbing)

Come down.

Why aren't you coming down?

Come down!

My comrades who trained with me...

are all dead.

This was supposed to be a selection for the Supreme Guard Command.

I only wanted to become a guard

and support my family

to live without hunger.

(sobbing)

Do you want to live?

The only way to survive is to become an elite warrior.

Look.

I do not want to...

become an elite warrior!

This isn't training.

How many times have you done this?

JUNHWA: How many have died?

At least it wasn't in vain.

JUNHWA: What do you mean?

DEOKYOON: Soldiers who died during training

are listed on the roll of honor.

The republic pays them respect.

Respect?

I don't need such a thing.

I just...

want to live.

If you run away, you'll become a traitor.

DEOKYOON: A traitor...

gets executed.

If you become a traitor,

what about your family?

(sighs)

Come down.

YEAR 2003, ORCHARD OPERATION

I'll distract them from the front.

Escape with Bongseok through the back.

Come with us.

They're here in the middle of the night.

That means they already know about us.

We can't all escape together.

-Still, come with us. -(Doosik shushes)

They probably don't know about Bongseok's ability.

We must not let them know

that he's like me.

I cannot...

let our son live a life like mine.

You can't let anyone know, no matter what.

You have to keep him hidden.

Don't worry.

I'll join you soon.

(sighs)

(Doosik grunting)

Now.

DOOSIK: Go.

(engine starts)

You screwed me over again.

INFORMATION IS OUR POWER

DOOSIK: I decline.

You aren't in a position to decline.

If I decide to do something else right now,

will you be able to stop me?

Don't joke with me, you bastard.

You think I can't take that gun from you?

Should I kill you for real?

You must have gotten caught for a reason.

Who could have actually stopped you?

You came here because you knew.

Putting you aside, your wife and son can't be on the run forever.

(scoffs)

Did you hide them well?

We found you once. We sure can do it again.

YONGJUN: If you kill me,

you'll be wanted by Interpol

for murdering a high official of a national security agency.

How far would that news reach?

We managed to find you here.

Then the North would just as easily do the same.

They'll be constantly after you.

And without me, who's going to protect your sorry ass?

Make a choice.

Whether to take this mission or be on the run forever.

Why me?

You're the only one who knows that place.

Just consider it as another round.

YONGJUN: I promise this will be your last assignment.

(gunshot)

(suspenseful music)

There you are.

-(gunshot) -(groans)

(grunts)

(grunting)

I heard you shoot people under their ribs to not kill them.

So it's true.

(tense music)

Kim Doosik. It's been a long time.

DEOKYOON: Do you remember me?

I was spared my life

for resisting until the end.

Did you think you were showing mercy?

I told you not to go in there!

(groaning weakly)

DEOKYOON: I wasn't only trying to save our supreme leader.

Everyone who was stationed here that day,

my comrades, my superiors, and my subordinates!

(breathing sharply)

They were all executed.

What's your relationship with Kim Doosik?

Are you his wife?

I see.

Kim Doosik came in 1994.

He did this to me.

He broke into the Presidential Palace all by himself.

And we were utterly defeated.

Just tell me about Kim Doosik.

DEOKYOON: Sure.

Kim Doosik then went back.

In 2003,

he came again.

We knew he'd come.

(trills)

(gunshots)

(yelps, groans)

(grunts)

-(shrieks) -Hide.

(Yongdeuk groaning)

(Mihyun breathing heavily)

(approaching footsteps)

(tense music)

Kim Doosik?

Do you know my father?

How old are you?

You haven't seen him for a long time, have you?

Do you know him or not?

I do. I caught him.

You caught him?

What does that...

What does that mean?

Can't you understand Korean?

Tell me.

Then make me.

Tell me!

(Bongseok yells)

(Bongseok grunting)

(panting)

(yells)

(suspenseful music)

You awakened your ability.

Now you know how to reduce the impact when you take a blow.

Ah, you take after your father.

I take after my mom.

(Bongseok shouts)

(both grunting)

BONGSEOK: Huisoo!

(gasps)

(Bongseok grunting)

(suspenseful music)

Huisoo!

ILHWAN: Grip it with the tips of your fingers,

so your grip is as wide as possible.

Swish! Notice my pelvis and shoulders.

Stomp! Step, like so.

Then, throw!

Like this.

-You know boxing, right? -Yes.

Throwing a ball in handball is similar to throwing a punch.

In boxing, this is your basic stance.

Your shoulder and pelvis turn like this when you throw a punch.

-Throw! -Good.

All right. Give it a try.

(suspenseful music)

Swish.

-Stomp! -Stomp!

(both grunting)

Now!

Throw!

(panting)

(groaning, panting)

What the...

Are you not him?

You are him.

Who are you?

(action music)

(groans)

You sure are young and fast.

Where do you think you're going?

Speed isn't everything, you know.

Go.

I need to check on our comrades.

Make sure to get the teacher and find the files.

Yes, sir.

Kwon Yongdeuk.

(grunting)

(wind gusting)

DEOKYOON: Come up here alive!

Do not feel pain.

Only those who defeat pain can survive.

Only those who do not feel pain

can become elite warriors!

(grunting)

(grunting)

I am an elite warrior

who doesn't feel pain.

(grunting)

(panting)

Never mind.

Go.

(Mihyun panting)

(sobbing)

POWER CONTROL ROOM

(ominous music)

(panting)

(line ringing)

(cell phone buzzing)

JIHEE: Are you okay?

What are you doing here?

Are you still lost?

(cell phone buzzing)

(groaning softly)

-(groaning softly) -(buzzing continues)

MIHYUN: Jang Juwon.

I need you.

We must...

protect our children.

JUWON: Yes.

(groans)

(water splashing)

(tense music)

The republic...

will make sure to pay its respect to you.

(line rings)

Come in with your sunglasses on.

(suspenseful music)

(closing theme music)
