Summit Turns Its Back on Trampled Democracy

Down with the dictator!

No more dictatorship!

Down with the dictator!

Drive him out!

Got it, report in as soon as he leaves the White House!

When is the protest being broken up?!

They have an official permit. We can’t break it up.

Stop the massacres!

Stop them! Stop them!

Look at those effigies of the president!

Call me when the president passes Georgia Avenue.

Murderer

Chief Park!

Why don’t you do something?

Get your Foreign Unit to break up the crowd!

Want the president to use the back door?

Why’s the Domestic Unit here breathing up our asses?

Chief Park.

Can you feel the passion for our president out there?

What should the tone of my article be?

Mr. Kang, a reporter needn’t worry about tone.

Come with me, I’ll educate you.

They sure are opinionated after abandoning their country.

They sure are opinionated after abandoning their country. Director of KCIA Chief of East Asia, CIA

I hear Korean students keep demanding the withdrawal of US troops.

It’s all because the president suppressed citizens by force

Come on, Director, that’s all in the past.

It was a just suppression.

You know why it’s so important he holds onto power?

If Korea falls, Okinawa will too,

and our entire military presence in the Asia-Pacific.

The existing order will collapse.

Don’t you worry.

He’s amending the constitution and the election process to retain power.

Sir!

The CIA detected a plot to assassinate the president!

What?

Stop the car! Now!

What’s his location?

He’s passing the dressing room!

Ju-kyung!

Ju-kyung!

I’m okay!

Sir!

Need to capture him alive!

How could you kill the suspect?

You shouldn’t have been taken hostage!

Wipe off that blood.

No more!

No more dictatorship!

Restore democracy!

How could they send riot cops onto campus?

Everyone disperse!

Go home, and be careful.

Hey! Over here!

Open the gate!

Please open the gate!

The screwdriver! Pull it out!

Right there! Screwdriver!

Hello?

Yes, this is he.

My God, I didn’t know, I am so sorry!

Motherfuckers!

You think your parents paid tuition for you to do this?

You piece of shit!

Stop hitting them!

Hey! That girl, there. Move, you idiot!

Hey, stop!

Are you out of your fucking mind, bitch?!

Det. Kim!

Yes, yes, of course, sir.

Yes, I understand!

Everyone out!

Watch his head.

Thank you so much, sir.

Go to my place.

I’m hungry, let’s go.

So I’m your father?

I didn’t say you were my father.

Now you protest with them instead of studying?

I wasn’t protesting.

Sir, don’t misunderstand.

Your daughter wasn’t protesting, she just opened the gate for us.

That’s the truth, I wasn’t protesting at all.

Send them away,

and don’t ever hang out with them.

Yes sir, we won’t hang out with your daughter!

He’s not my dad!

Tuition fee for this semester.

Stay for dinner!

Director Kang called the meeting.

It seems he got grilled by the president

for not finding who planned the Washington incident.

Agents of Foreign Unit are active in cities visited by the President,

and the Domestic Unit is questioning delegations, to Washington especially.

Director is trying to pin this on Prof. Shin Ki-cheol.

Why him?

He was on the Washington delegation on an economic mission.

Director Kang says he’s ‘Donglim’, the leader of an espionage cell.

Donglim?

First, name that professor as the spy Donglim.

Link him with the assassins and prepare a report for the president.

But the US hasn’t shared its intel with us yet,

so proving a connection with North Korea...

Look, Chief Kim!

They knew all the president’s movements in advance!

Did you investigate the whole delegation before the US trip?

But you call yourself the Chief of the Domestic Unit?

This is why the President’s Office wants to disband the KCIA!

Get his confession now.

If you don’t resolve the Washington incident,

you two are done.

Yes, sir.

One more thing...

What should we do about 417 Special Forces?

What about it?

The op begins at midnight in 2 days.

Then stick to schedule!

It’s an op with very low chance of success, sir.

Why not use my Foreign agents to gather intel on the nuclear threat?

You want me to scrap it now?

It’s approved by the president!

Proceed!

This is the President’s itinerary for his Japan visit, sign off on it.

Chief of Foreign Unit Park Pyong-ho

Chief of Foreign Unit Chief of Domestic Unit Park Pyong-ho Kim Jung-do

He’s a tough nut since he has the president’s ear.

I’m still not used to this since I spent my life in the army.

I’d appreciate your guidance.

Speaking of which,

My wife told me to invite my colleagues for dinner,

but my home is too tiny to invite them all.

Would you like to join us for dinner?

Certainly.

He’s ripe for picking.

Let’s wrap up the Donglim case.

Bring him to Room 2.

Afternoon, sir.

You dislocated his shoulder again?

Why keep doing that? Your job is to break his will.

Dress him and bring him to Room 2.

Yes, sir.

Lift him up.

Codename, Donglim.

North Korea’s Ministry of the People’s Armed Forces, 5th Division,

infiltrated the South in 1970, sociology professor at Horim...

Sir, please...

How could I possibly be a top North Korean spy?

I’m...

I’m not a spy, really!

The government asked me to join the delegation as a consultant...

I’m done playing nice.

The jerks who conspired with you have all confessed.

They say you’re Donglim!

Who says I am Donglim?

They are setting me up!

Sit!

You leaked the president’s itinerary to the North,

when you went to the US with the delegation!

To assassinate him!

That’s absurd!

Sir, how could I...

Restrain him!

Sir! Please don’t kill me!

He’s gonna kill another one...

Donglim

417 Special Forces

Infiltration

Gangnam apartments cost $30,000 each nowadays.

How’s it possible to con $640 million without help from top officials?

How many apartments would that buy?

This country is in a dire state.

Are you drunk already? Go easy with the drinks.

I want to live here a long time.

I heard you two were well acquainted.

Your husband told you that?

That you worked with him for a bit.

Honey.

What? You said it was awkward since it’s been so long.

Awkward?

Honey, please excuse us.

We have something to discuss.

After the last president’s assassination, all KCIA agents were detained.

He was my interrogator.

We were together 10 days or so?

The nerves in my hand got severed, I can’t still use it properly.

Sir, back then...

I’m so sorry.

I shouldn’t have said anything, I’ll leave you two alone.

Yes?

Sorry to call you so late,

but I have an urgent matter to report, sir.

Go on.

The North and Japan are having unofficial talks on colonial reparations,

and a high-ranking official wants to defect.

Defect? What’s his prize?

A nuclear reactor blueprint, R&D files and a list of researchers.

Good, bring him in before Japanese intelligence clues in.

Understood, sir...

Tokyo

Hello?

Is there someone from Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone?

Yes, this is Nishigara from Taeyoung Corp.

Where are you now?

I can’t tell you that, but we just started moving.

‘We’?

I brought my family.

Wait, you never said anything about your family.

State your name, affiliation and rank.

I can’t disclose that yet.

You have a mole in your agency, our safety may be compromised.

I’ll tell you in person.

Hello, sir.

The exfil route is secure, so please identify yourself.

I just said there is a mole in your ranks.

I’ll tell you about Donglim tomorrow when we land in the South.

There cannot be a mole in our agency.

And Donglim has already been captured.

If you don’t believe me, we’ll drop this op.

State your name, affiliation and rank.

Spec Ops 417 will infiltrate the North to gather nuclear intel today.

North Korea, West Coast

Donglim informed us of it last night.

Approaching Point Gamma.

Spec Ops 417, landed.

All in position.

KCIA Operation Center Commencing op.

If you can’t believe me, I’ll hang up.

Understood. Give us the time and location for rendezvous.

This is Agent Yang Bo-sung of Foreign Unit.

417 infil op is compromised, withdraw now.

What?

This is Tokyo.

We received this intel from a North Korean asylum seeker!

All units! Return to base at once!

- Halt op and return at once! - Nobody move!

We took 8 of your heads!

Stop by any time!

What happened?

They've all been eliminated.

Chief, does this legitimize the claim of a mole in the agency?

We can’t rely on unverified intel.

We will expose the truth today.

They’re on the move.

Find the green briefcase, which one is it?

The gray suit is carrying a green briefcase.

Isn’t that Director Pyo?

You’re right.

He’s a key player in the nuclear development effort.

Everyone on your toes.

This op has to succeed.

One moment.

I’m changing the plan.

Agent Yang get the family, and I’ll take the prize.

I repeat, Yang go for the family, I’ll take the prize!

Chief,

if you change now, we'll all get crossed up.

In case of emergency, leave the family and support me.

The prize comes first.

Initiate!

Says who, dammit!

Agent Yang, what are you doing?!

Listen up!

We are sticking with the HQ’s plan!

Stick to the original plan!

Turn the car around!

Agent Yang!

The Director said intel on Donglim is our top priority!

Agent Yang!

Listen up everyone.

When we complete this mission, everyone will get promoted!

Trust me on this.

Where are you going?

Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone.

Get in!

What are you doing?!

I’m leading this op.

Intel first, what do you know about Donglim?

I said I’ll tell you once we arrive in South Korea.

Spec Ops 417 was wiped out yesterday.

Intel on the mole first.

Is this the best South Korea can do?

Open the door now!

If you don’t tell me, we’ll pull out immediately.

Why isn’t he letting him in?

On October 15, 1982, Osaka, and May 11, 1983, Tokyo,

he met North Korea 35 Chief Li Yong-su.

Cross reference it with flight logs of your agents.

We learned all your top secrets through him,

he’s Donglim.

Open the door!

Comrade Pyo!

Stop!

Open fire!

Chief!

The prize and Agent Yang are trapped at the scene!

Agent Yang is shot and stuck in his vehicle!

What should we do?

Wait, what are you doing?!

Get out! Out!

Please don’t do this!

- Where’s my husband? - I’m sorry.

Please don’t abandon us!

Listen to me!

Tell them our location! Hurry!

Watch out!

Come out, quick!

Agent Yang first!

Agent Yang!

Wake up, sir!

Sir! Agent Yang!

Are you really not hurt?

Director was summoned and got his ass whipped.

Things are tense because of the botched Pyo op.

Also, the president’s Japanese summit is confirmed, top secret.

Chief.

The intel about Donglim being a KCIA mole, is it credible?

How can you botch every op the president approves?

Fuck, what am I doing with these amateurs?

Resign now, you morons!

Get the fuck out!

What do you want?

Spec Ops 417

was massacred due to your bad judgment.

What the fuck?

And why give two conflicting orders for the Pyo op?

You told me to retrieve him, why give the agents other orders?

You son of a bitch!

We lost two agents and Director Pyo,

and Agent Yang is gravely wounded, in a coma.

The 417 and Pyo ops,

you fucked them all up.

Are you out of your goddamn mind?!

This is the list of all the bribes you’ve taken.

Agents risk their lives in the field,

but the KCIA Director fattens himself on bribes.

We kept this agency alive until you came along.

How would the president react to this?

Take the bullet and retire with your honor.

Won’t it be wiser to keep the money you stole thus far?

Park Pyong-ho!

How dare you investigate me?

This is a recording of you and those businessmen.

You’ve got a week to clear out.

Who said anything about revolution? We’re after reform!

We can’t be cornered as left wingers!

The public won’t listen to us!

When on earth can you achieve that?

After we’re all dead?

Yoo-jung, you tell us, is he right or am I?

Speak up. Who’s right?

Let’s just go. Yoo-jung, come on.

You son of a bitch! Where you going?!

We came here to find a solution, why are you leaving?!

Bring him over here!

Back off... Damn you...

Bastard, how could you throw that at a friend?

Stop it! Just stop it!

Thank you, sir.

Where are you going?

I need another drink.

That’s enough.

They say a dictator’s pawns are worse than the dictator.

A dictator’s pawn...

I don’t care what you do, but don’t hang around bad guys.

Don’t let me regret bringing you here.

Bad guys?

Who’s worse?

How long have you worked for the agency?

13 years.

The world is changing,

but it’s still so stupid...

3 years ago, Tokyo

What took you so long?

A pun quiz for you.

Wars that take place in space?

‘Star Wars’.

A war that takes place in the winter?

‘Cold War’.

What’s a war that never ends?

‘Korean War’.

That’s funny?

Laugh for once, it’s called a joke.

Practice,

you’re way too serious.

I’ve been wanting to get away from everything lately.

That’s a great idea.

Where to though?

He’s here, we’re on!

I always wondered where that beast disappeared to,

but in the end, it’s all about love.

Gotta hand it to your intuition.

Stay right behind me!

Won-sik!

Pyong-ho...

I’m sorry...

Soon, someone else will come.

Is that Dad?

How old are you?

Yes?

- Sir, it’s Ju-kyung. - Yeah.

The new director is the president’s chief secretary.

Mr. President said, if the KCIA does not reform, it need not exist.

Our priority must be capturing North Korean spies who provoke us.

$10,000 reward and special promotion will be given

to any agent with outstanding performance.

Don’t kill me! I’ll do what you ask!

Stay right there.

That’s enough.

Let’s call it a day.

What’s the matter? We’re almost there.

I said that’s enough!

Let’s go home.

Let the kids sleep.

A long day?

Get some sleep...

I’m assigned to KCIA starting next week.

I’ll report through CEO Choi at Jupiter Corporation.

- Salute! - Yes, sir! 3 years ago, Gwangju

3 years ago, Gwangju

The commander is approaching!

We got the green light to open fire. Wipe them all out!

Major Kim, it’s been a while!

Congratulations on your promotion.

Pretty cushy working as a public servant?

How long has it been?

4 months now, sir. It’s worse than hell.

Sit!

Do you know why the president sent me?

KCIA has gotten too soft!

Government agencies and press must embrace his governing ethos

for him to relax, is that so hard?

It will be done, sir.

Let’s go one step at a time.

I looked over the reports. We got a mole situation?

Donglim?

It’s not verified, sir.

If major ops are failing, there’s an underlying problem.

Am I right?

What is this?

Dates when Donglim contacted someone in Japan.

Yang relayed that intel to my predecessor after the incident.

Cross reference it with everyone in the Pyo op.

The Foreign Unit?

It’s not my team, how could I...?

That’s why want you to do it.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Strip them naked.

Yes, sir.

Donglim

Tokyo Op Agents

Chief of Team 1 Park Pyong-ho

Yes.

Wait, right now?

Yes, sir.

Chief Kim is investigating all agents from the Pyo op.

Must be Director Ahn’s order.

Why didn’t Agent Yang drive off with Pyo after making contact?

Our West German bureau fell for a North Korean plot last year.

Many men got fired, so now we verify ID and intel on site.

Donglim popped up on our radar since mid ‘70s,

but he never fully surfaced.

Donglim may not even exist!

Maybe they want to throw us off by planting the idea of a mole!

Agent Yang drew up and led all ops in Japan.

He’s the head of Japanese...

Okay, dammit! I’m Donglim!

Chief Kim is Donglim, you’re Donglim! We’re all him!

You made anyone into spies, now you suspect your own?

Check your own unit first, assholes!

That fucking bastard.

What? What can you do? What do you have on me?!

Agent Yang probably got intel about Donglim from Pyo.

He kept trying to call the former Director before passing out.

What if Yang intentionally sabotaged the op,

and his intel isn’t credible?

Are you implying Agent Yang is Donglim?

That’s insane.

What the hell is going on?!

Who authorized this? You have no jurisdiction!

It’s an order from the director.

Donglim was part of the Pyo op?

I’ve worked with all these men for at least 5 years!

We got a complaint from Japanese Foreign Affairs.

They want us to investigate and make an official apology.

If you don’t comply, I’ll put you on top of the suspect list.

I’ll report to the director myself.

Stop this witch hunt.

Guys, come on out!

Chief!

Don’t you dare!

We got an emergency!

A North Korean fighter jet has entered South Korean airspace!

This is the Office of Civil Defense, attention please.

This is a security alert to all regions including Seoul

This is a live situation.

A North Korean fighter jet has entered South Korea over the west coast.

He knew all about our missile and air defense systems,

so it was easy for him to defect.

What a joke.

All our security measures are open to the commies.

Damn, this is amazing!

It’s beyond my imagination.

I found ramyun packaging on a beach near the base.

I thought, so that’s how noodles are sold down South, and read the label.

I wondered if it was real.

‘Damaged or expired products can be exchanged.’

Southerners care about the convenience of people over such a small thing.

It really is a land of the people!

So he just took a fighter jet and defected?

Give me a cigarette.

This is why I can’t trust soldiers.

Speaking of which...

Dates when Donglim made contact in Japan.

Strip Chief Kim’s men.

Southern cigarettes sure taste smoother.

If that’s out of your system, let’s get to the main topic.

Why’d you come here?

I came to this land of the free...

No, not that.

Why’d you betray your country?

What?

What did you say?

Betray?

I’m a traitor?

You’re just a government ass licker!

You son of a bitch!

Fucking bastard.

I can’t fucking believe I get called a traitor by South Koreans.

I love my country and my people.

But the current leadership is deceiving us all.

The son inheriting the people’s party? Even a dog would laugh.

Will you stop making speeches?

It’s the truth.

What do you want me to do then?

You know very well,

what intel would be useful to us.

I knew you’d say that.

Pay for the ramyun, huh?

Bring me my notepad.

You probably couldn’t decode recent encrypted broadcasts or messages.

We adopted Russia’s newest cipher for added security.

This is it.

We dispatched more covert operatives to the South for a big event.

A few will be in here too!

Use this to reel them in.

Activate 48-hour Code 3 to capture the mole.

Yes, sir, right away.

I hate stones left unturned.

Let’s do this right.

This is an emergency notice.

As of 20:23 hours,

we are under Code 3 for the next 48 hours.

The director wants us to dig into Chief Kim’s men.

I’ll get on it!

This is Unit Chief Park Pyong-ho.

From now on, bring new intel to me first.

Yes, sir.

Chief Kim wants the intel first,

and so does Chief Park...

So who do we line up with?

Goddamn, they’re at it again.

Chief Kim.

Dead Drop Location Analysis

Everyone move to the exposed spots, now!

Dead drop A, Sinjung Mountain, 150-9.

Dead drop B, Sangbong 481-3.

Dead drop C, Hongje Mountain 47...

Chief Park.

Current assessment, sir.

Over here! Here!

There was a delivery mishap case of $60,000 at police department.

And Chief Kim transferred the investigation to our agency,

but the suspect never arrived here.

Where was the money headed?

A military supply contractor called Jupiter Corp.

Should I dig further?

This arrived as soon as the president signed off on it.

So when is the president leaving for Japan?

On the 6th next month.

What if the plan fails again, like in Washington?

I’ll take care of it myself.

The pro-democracy movement is spreading to the general public.

If they declare martial law again, it won’t be easy for us to mobilize.

I agree with that.

Let’s proceed.

The 6th next month in Tokyo. Let’s do it then.

Thanks to ongoing support from the military,

Jupiter Corp grew exponentially to a medium size enterprise.

Let’s all raise a glass to that.

When I say ‘We are’, shout ‘family!’

- We are! - Family!

Thank you, thank you.

A bicycle heading in.

Black poncho confirmed.

Chun

Bo

San

Chun Bo-san

He came here after taking a package from Dead Drop D.

It’s been 20 minutes, and no contacts so far.

How many inside?

No one went in, sir.

Good, we move in immediately.

Dammit!

Get upstairs! Go!

Agent Jang!

Top Secret

President’s Itinerary for Korea-Japan Summit

Intelligence Bureau 225 North Korea

Top Secret Document

Korea-Japan Summit

Intel gathered by Donglim

Chief,

Jupiter’s military transactions went up by 600% in 2 years.

Chief Kim seems closely involved with the organization.

If we get a ledger from Jupiter Corp, we may find something.

Also...

Kim has widened the investigation to anyone who flew out of the country,

and in it,

he included you as his next target.

Kim Jung-do, that son of a bitch.

We hit Jupiter Corp today.

Arrest CEO Choi first!

Search everything!

Who are you?!

Where are you from?

The KCIA, asshole!

Arrest this fucker.

Push through!

Burn them all!

Who are you?!

Who the hell are you?!

Let go of me, asshole!

CEO Choi,

you know Chief Kim Jung-do, right?

What? Who are you people?

You’ve supplied the military since 1980, with his help.

I don’t know! I don’t fucking know!

Peaceful Revolution #1

A call from the President’s Office.

The Japan summit is cancelled due to the Laundry incident,

but the president’s Asia tour will proceed, sir.

This is very serious.

If something so top secret was leaked,

it means the mole is a high-ranking officer.

Agent Yang was in charge of the Pyo op,

but Park tried to take over and ruined it.

I hear he’s digging up dirt on you.

He raided a military supplier called Jupiter Corp today,

and arrested its CEO, but hasn’t brought him here.

He may try to make it seem like Donglim is in our unit.

Sir, we can’t just sit and watch.

We have to strike first.

Put 24/7 surveillance on Park immediately.

Begin.

Keep going until you hear Kim Jung-do’s name.

Son of a bitch!

The president’s Japan Summit has been cancelled.

Abort all ops.

Before that, KCIA’s Chief Park took CEO Choi away.

I know, just stop all active ops.

I’ll take out Park Pyong-ho.

No, not Park. Take out CEO Choi.

What did you say?!

CEO Choi won’t be able to withstand the torture.

How dare you?!

If he blows our cover, we’re all in danger.

You met them too.

They were taken in 2 weeks ago, please help.

You said it was an emergency,

and ask about this petty thing?

Petty?

Their families don’t know if they’re alive or dead...

Pyong-ho!

What is wrong with you?!

You know what happens when they take you away.

If you’re going to act up, don’t call me.

You two, grab the honey pot!

Name, Harada Hitomi.

From North Korea she came through Osaka

and entered South Korea 3 years ago,

disguised as transfer student Cho Yoo-jung.

Her father Cho Won-sik was Park’s informant,

when he was chief of Tokyo branch 4 years ago.

Cho is currently missing, his family unaccounted for.

Are you absolutely sure?

We’re going up against Park Pyong-ho.

This is our chance to get him for sure.

Let’s carve him up.

Why hide that you attended North Korean schools in Japan?

I didn’t want people to think I was a commie.

Is that so?

All right, tell me,

why did you hide it?

I only went there to learn Korean,

I’m not a commie.

Fucking bitch, can you hear yourself?

You hid it because you’re a fucking commie.

Look here.

We got you fleeing from the scene.

The evidence we have is enough to get you hanged.

You trained at the North Korean Labor Party’s special facility

to become a next-gen spy, codename Chun Bo-san.

You infiltrated through Japan and together with other spies,

plotted to overthrow South Korea!

Am I right?!

Kim must’ve lost his mind after our raid on Jupiter.

There’s no evidence Cho Won-sik was your father,

why do you keep insisting?

Detaining an innocent person,

and framing me for something I didn’t do is illegal.

Shit, I went too easy on this commie bitch.

Hold her down.

Everyone out.

Now.

Everyone out.

Kim, you’re investigating me?

Sir,

how deep have you looked into her?

Cho Yoo-jung.

Who helped you transfer to university in Korea in 1980?

The man in front of you, right?

So, you’ll make her into a spy and tie me to her?

We believe she’s Chun Bo-san.

Therefore, she must know who Donglim is.

Cho Yoo-jung,

you are Chun Bo-san.

Your mission is to pass Donglim’s intel to the North, right?

Spill it.

You dare attack me over Jupiter Corp?

Chief Park!

Look at the photos in front of you!

You’re here to topple our government?

You?

If you intentionally made contact with me,

you won’t walk out of here alive.

Even if you’re not, you won’t walk free!

Why not?

You have to stay until you confess.

That’s what this place is!

Do you...

suspect me too?

How dare you bitch...

From now on, don’t answer their questions.

Endure it, no matter what.

That’s the only way I can get you out.

Chief Park...

Can you see this?

Donglim... Li Yong-su...

Change rooms immediately, and strengthen security.

Swap out security details to our people.

Take care of this quick.

Agent Yang woke from his coma!

Domestic Unit has sealed off the room.

You should’ve secured Yang first!

Go! Push through!

Hold them off!

Roof of opposite building, 10 o’clock!

Get to the building!

Li Yong-su is head of the Strategic Unit at North Korea’s Labor Party 35.

He visited Osaka on October 15, 1982, and Tokyo on May 11, 1983.

We are cross checking all KCIA agent flight logs.

Retired General Ahn was pushed out for not supporting the president’s coup,

but Jupiter funds were funneled to him.

He’s under house arrest, so I checked the visitor log,

and found Kim Jung-do in it.

A KCIA agent was assassinated.

While under our protection.

What the hell is going on here?

We’ve captured a female spy who relayed Donglim’s intel to the North.

We’ll expose Donglim soon enough.

We’re tracking the finances of a potential spy organization.

We’ll reveal our findings soon.

You mean Jupiter Corp?

Chief Kim.

Didn’t you serve with Jupiter’s CEO Choi in the military?

He’s just a military supplier now. I have no ties to him.

Listen you two,

if you want to survive, wrap it up before the president’s Asia tour.

You know what’ll happen if you don’t.

We’ve obtained North Korean Li Yong-su’s flight logs to Japan.

Analysts are using 20 IBMs to cross check, so we’ll know soon.

Yes, and we’ll know your role, too.

Jupiter’s CEO Choi will spill everything.

How long will that spy bitch hold out?

The interrogator can’t wait to meet her.

Why’d you transfer Yang out of his room?

The interrogator assured me he’ll get to the bottom of this.

Why move Yang and leave him exposed?!

Don’t dare put his death on me,

just tell me how long you were in league with that bitch!

That girl’s father was my informant in Japan!

He died during my op and I’ve been watching over her!

I don’t trust your informant, his bastard child, or even you.

I’m certain you’re Donglim.

3 years ago, military coup d’etat and 10-day citizen massacre

Hello, Mr. Kim.

Good to see you.

You stay in Seoul nowadays?

Mostly Hong Kong and Saipan.

How are you doing?

I’m just a white-collar now. Why did you want to see me?

I have a proposal for you.

Really? If there’s any way I can help, I certainly will.

Not a favor, but a proposal.

What do you have in mind?

The thing you’re about to do,

we want you to drop it.

I don’t understand you.

I hear Chief Park detained Jupiter’s CEO Choi.

Leave for the States.

So long as we’re aware of it, you will not succeed.

I don’t understand what you’re...

Operation Hunt Peter.

I didn’t want to report this at the office.

This is a conversation between General Ahn and Chief Kim

before he started working at the agency.

It may not sound like much, but listen carefully.

Your house arrest will end shortly,

and you may have to relocate your cottage.

Is that so?

What’s wrong? Don’t like the location?

The landlord suddenly changed his mind,

I thought it’d be best to move.

Then it’ll have to be redesigned?

In a different location, the design will have to change.

It isn’t easy building a small home.

Do I ask too much?

No, sir.

Just a few minor adjustments.

Once you complete house arrest, the cottage will be done.

It’s tough to hear it over the music, right?

You can still hear their conversation faintly.

So, I got the audio techs to isolate it.

This is it.

It’s important to secure funds for extra expenses.

I told Jupiter’s CEO Choi to come up with $500,000.

He asked for a week, I’m sure he’ll put it together.

The cottage and the design refer to their operation.

I’m assigned to KCIA starting next week.

Please be careful.

I’ll succeed with Op Hunt Peter in Washington no matter what.

Peter?

I had so much trouble figuring this part out.

Peter is...

the president’s Christian name.

He tried to assassinate the president?

We can’t ignore a potential link to the North.

But something’s been bothering me.

This is the full list of KCIA agents who flew to Japan.

Not a single agent was present at the time

Donglim made contact with North Korea’s Li Yong-su.

Chief Kim wasn’t present on either date.

You were in Tokyo on May 11, 1983,

but not in Osaka on October 15, 1982.

So, I looked into anyone with a single date match.

Also, about Cho Yoo-jung...

You don’t need to worry.

I asked the JCIA

to confirm her relation to Cho Won-sik, it’ll arrive tomorrow.

Let’s see...

Fly in date is right...

October...

Cha Hyung-dae, Osaka, October 15,

He has a fly in date, but no fly out date.

Which means he’s a ghost.

Wait a minute.

Cha Hyung-dae. Real Name Aliases Park Pyong-ho Cha Hyung-dae

I made you this passport for last year’s West Berlin op...

Sir, you went to Japan with this passport?

Ju-kyung...

You’re the one?

Wait a minute!

Wait, don’t come any closer.

Ju-kyung.

Stop right there!

My government has accepted this administration.

What we want is simple.

We want order.

Forget everything, and leave.

We’ll support you and your family.

The military assault that started on May 18th

resulted in over 3,000 civilian casualties in 10 days.

On the 21st, there was even an attack by helicopters.

Youngest casualty was a 11-year-old child.

A bullet passed through his chest, and killed him instantly.

You want me to accept the killer of my people,

and turn my back on my country?

Your proposal is very insulting.

Hello?

Sir, it’s me! Chief Park is Donglim!

He killed Agent Bang Ju-kyung and is on the move!

- What’s his current location? - Heading towards Mapo!

I’m on my way, have our men ready!

Yes, sir!

Hunt South Korea’s #1 in Bangkok on the 11th, intel by Donglim The president’s revised itinerary.

I need to meet the head of the South Korean cell.

You know cells can’t meet face-to-face.

Think we're in Storm Level 1?

Who cares about that, just make contact!

I’ll hand this off in person.

People are coming out.

People are exiting the church.

And Park Pyung-ho?

Not yet, sir.

Dammit.

Follow every one of them! Don’t miss a single one!

Follow your mark.

Agent Jang.

Why are you here?

Chief Park, I’m...

You’re what? Are you tailing me?

No, it’s not that.

Chief!

Jeez, KCIA fuckers sure suck at their job.

How could they go so easy on a commie like him?

Which agency do you work for?

Don’t play dumb.

Defense Security Command, you can’t weasel out this time.

Lift him up!

Call Captain Kwon at once and free me!

You’re best buds with my captain?

Go on, give him a massage.

So? Feel like talking now?

Did Kim Jung-do send you?

You think killing me will save Jupiter Corp?

You think I don’t know about Operation Hunt Peter?!

What’s this asshole blabbering on about?

Get a whiff of your burning skin and die!

That college chick of yours spilled her guts!

That you’re Donglim, who’s been spying on the KCIA for 13 years!

She’s on the way here, so fess up first.

Only one of you gets to live.

Call the KCIA now...

Lieutenant Min! Bring the documents.

This fucker still thinks he’s a KCIA agent.

Look at it, it’s your handwriting.

“Hunt South Korea’s #1” Assassinate our president?

It’s a controlled leak, you stupid thug!

Bring him out.

Fucking commies.

State your objective!

You goddamn traitors!

You’ll be punished for high treason...

Who are you?

State your objective!

Who are you?!

You did well, comrade Donglim.

Been a while since your last loyalty check, no?

I’m chief of the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces.

Why’s the MPAF involved in this operation?

Connect me to the United Front’s Li Yong-su.

You won’t hear that peace lover’s cries for negotiation ever again.

Our leader changed the plan.

Starting with Operation Flare, we’ll attack the South militarily.

Operation Flare?

That’s nonsense, an all-out-war?!

You think the US will just stand by?

Doesn’t matter, 6 hours is all we need to take the South.

But millions will die in those 6 hours!

Our original plan to negotiate

after killing their president is most practical!

Reunification is the party’s goal, no?!

Don’t spoil the plan for peaceful revolution.

Comrade.

Peaceful reunification is an illusion.

Your mission from now is to assist in the assassination

Your mission from now is to assist in the assassination Hunt #1, then kill Donglim

by accompanying the president on his Asian tour.

I cannot agree to that!

You think I stayed alive this long just to start a war?!

Having some intel puts you above our leader?!

How dare you disobey an order!

I can’t agree to a war!

This will destroy all of us...

Get the rifles!

Hunt #1, then kill Donglim

Back door! Back door!

Go after him!

You two, go upstairs!

Peaceful revolution. Hunt South Korea’s #1 after verse 1 of National Anthem.

Intel gathered by Donglim

Peaceful Revolution #1

Park Pyong-ho

Hunt #1, then kill Donglim

Free Chief Park!

Donglim has been killed.

CEO Choi...

Where is he now?

The director wants CEO Choi’s confession today, whatever it takes.

Who are you?!

CEO Choi.

What exactly is Jupiter Corp?

Who are you in league with?

All right, fine.

You really want to go all the way?

Spill it.

Who’s involved, and their end goal.

If you don’t tell us, you die.

Very well.

That’s what I wanted.

Give me your best shot.

Sir, if we go any higher he could die...

Status on CEO Choi?

He was a soldier to the end.

But the hunt of Peter is possible.

North Korea has a plan in motion

to assassinate the president on October 11th at 10 AM in Bangkok.

What? North Koreans?

We obtained this intel at a raid we conducted today.

Once they successfully assassinate the president,

we can initiate Operation New World.

You want to carry out a joint op with the North?

That’s preposterous.

How is that a revolution? It has to be justified.

We’ll hold hands with commies?

This is not a revolution!

It’s about stopping the gruesome violence against our people.

That’s our justification.

I’m flying out to Bangkok tomorrow.

Go as far South as possible.

Take the first bus to Namhae.

In Namhae, there’s a temple called Boriam.

Go there.

It should be safe there.

What’s going on?

No matter what happens in South Korea, stay at the temple.

What’s happening?

Bangkok

Reunification is at the tip of our barrels.

We’ll celebrate our Grand Marshal upon reunification.

The party has initiated Operation Flare.

It’ll ignite on verse 1, final line of the South Korean anthem

For our party and our country!

To our Grand Marshal!

To our Grand Marshal! To our Grand Marshal!

Main gate, sitrep.

All in order, sir.

Report when you see the motorcade approaching.

Yes, sir!

Why did you let me walk?

You know who I am.

You know what I’m trying to do.

How long can you fight violence with violence?

You think the world will change by removing one dictator?

You’ve seen how this dictatorship evolved.

It’s time to end it.

Once the president arrives, when does the anthem begin?

Yes, sir.

It’ll start once they pass the memorial.

Once he’s assassinated, the invasion begins.

That’s North Korea’s plan.

Reunification by force?

Are you still fooled by such political theater?

What do you want from me?

Our goals are the same, we can join up temporarily.

And then?

After that?

This is the main gate.

The director, ministers, and reporters are heading in.

Roger.

No mistakes.

Good work, gents.

Let’s all have a drink after this is over.

Let’s go inside.

Main gate, sitrep! Has the president arrived?

Main gate!

Go confirm!

It’s not the president! It’s Korean Ambassador to Thailand!

Stop the anthem!

Stop the anthem!

Stop! Stop it!

Stop!

The escort made you look like the president.

He will arrive shortly.

- I see. - Let’s go inside.

I’ll send you to wherever you want to go.

When it’s all over.

Chief Kim, come say hello.

You’ve done a marvelous job.

Reunification at last.

He’ll be a great support back home in the future.

Comrade, with Operation Flare, South Korea will be destroyed.

This is the main gate, the president is passing through.

The party and our country are watching you today.

Good luck to you.

A North Korean spy...

A sniper!

Stop the anthem!

Stop the anthem!

What’s going on?!

Stop!

Stop!

Sniper!

Chief Kim, go rescue the president!

What are you doing?! Go rescue him!

Why should I rescue him?!

Stop it! No!

Stop!

Lower your gun. Don’t do this.

Stop! Everyone stop!

You’re sentenced to death for usurping power and murdering our people.

Chief Kim!

Chief Kim!

Bring the car over!

Bring the car! Get the car over here!

Mr. President! Are you okay?!

Drive!

Park Pyong-ho!

Park Pyong-ho!

Park Pyong-ho!

Park Pyong-ho!

Park Pyong-ho!

Why?

Why did you do it?!

Hold still,

you can survive this.

Did you want to live?

One moment.

Release her. And give this to her.

Uncuff her.

Pull out.

Pull out.

My mission was to watch over you.

Soon, someone else will come.

Yoo-jung...

you can live a different life.

Park Eun-su
