01x02 - The Huayang g*ng

[bunniefuu]

Previously....

Come on, man.

Breaking news.

Around 3 a.m. near Hakdong Intersection
in Cheongdam-dong,

Jang Min h*, a member
of a popular idol group Blitz was...

hit by a truck and has passed away.

The police said ill*gal drugs were
found in his possession...

- at the time of his discovery.
- I knew it.

That's why
he got into that accident.

The biggest domestic drug dealer,
the so-called Mr. Yoon,

is now openly wanted
as the provider of the drugs.

[Silent Devotion to Protect
and Bring Glory to Korea]

[Episode 2]

Hello, Ji Hyuk.

I didn't introduce myself properly
due to our hectic schedule.

Well, I double-majored
in Physics and Computer Science.

I was with Intelligence and Analysis
before I came here.

So I'm rather useful
in searching for information...

and analyzing them.

That's enough.

Oh, okay.

- Excuse me, Ji Hyuk.
- Yes?

Are you all right?

You don't look too well.

I'm fine.

Listen up to what I'm about to say.

You'll only get one chance.

There's a rat in our agency.

And I deleted...

my own memories...

to find the traitor.

The situation you're involved in.

There is a traitor
behind everything.

You must find that traitor.

Let me see. That one.

I'm not sharing
everything I found out so far...

to prevent prejudice
from clouding up your judgment.

It might hinder the process
as you look for the traitor.

There is one thing
you must find out.

That there was one last piece
of the puzzle I could not find.

To complete the puzzle,
I need that piece.

Never forget...

that to doubt is to survive.

You must be suspicious
of every move, word,

and breath from
everyone who approaches you.

[National Security,
the Only Way to Protect Our Country]

I didn't know...

that you were already back at work.

How impressive.

Don't forget my warning.

Never.

Yes, sir.

Rewind everything back to square one.

And rethink it.

When you really need me,

you'll see me again then.

No doubt about it.

How long has it been...

since you got transferred
to our team?

It's been about a year now.

It's been that long?

Gosh. Time flies, doesn't it?

That's for you.

How's managing your own team?

It's fine, sir.

I'm sure you know Han Ji Hyuk.
Don't you?

You worked together on the same team
before you got transferred here.

Yes, we did.

I had dinner with the deputy commissioner
last night.

And the deputy commissioner seemed
interested in him.

You must think
I'm discriminating against you...

because you were never one of us.

So you must...

become one of us now.

I am well aware of your ability.

I understand...

fully.

I will...

look into it.

That's it?

You still have no idea
what the problem is.

Hatred.

I see your personality
is still the same.

Greed.

Are you sure...

you won't regret this decision?

Obstinacy.

Don't fixate
on finding your answer outside.

Perhaps,
you might be able to find it,

somewhere close and unexpected.

Never forget that...

you must be suspicious
of every move, word,

and breath from
everyone who approaches you.

[Contacts]

Hello, sir.

Where is it?

This way, sir.

This is Mr. Yoon.
He's been dealing our stuff.

He distributed them
all over the country.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

You stupid scumbag.

You still haven't learned
your lesson?

That's enough.

My apologies, sir.

You jerks.

Do you think
you'll get away with this?

Do you think my guys will
just sit back and watch?

Do you remember the idol singer
who got high,

hit by the car
on the street, and died?

I came across this
when I was backtracking his dealer.

I think the police can handle that.

Take a look at this.

[Jang Gwang Cheol]

What's this?

This is Jang Gwang Cheol,
second-in-command of Huayang g*ng.

Huayang g*ng?

That's right. It's the g*ng
Ji Hyuk was after a year ago.

Why are these guys here?

Actually, there were rumors...

that a Chinese drug cartel, a key player
in dealing meth from North Korea,

was planning to make a move in Korea.

And that drug cartel is Huayang g*ng?

It hasn't been confirmed,
but given the looks of it, yes.

Won't the deputy commissioner
want to put Ji Hyuk on this case...

once she finds out about this?

Well, he was the only one
who dealt with Huayang g*ng.

Get to the point.

Let me...

handle this one.

If you give me your word,
I'll get Jang Gwang Cheol right now.

How many do you need?

I just need three guys
from the observation post.

And the rest will be handled
by the cops.

Gosh. No way.

That was so cool. Nice.

[And he's hot too.]

[Who is this master of martial art?]

What? Come on.

You'll end up suffering if you keep
eating things like this. Like me.

You should eat real food.

- This is confiscated.
- Put it back.

We're going to have lunch.
Do you want to join us?

Okay, sure.

That was good.

All I do is eat when I come to work.
My gosh.

You came in four years after me,
so I can speak with you comfortably?

Of course.

I haven't seen your partner around.
Did something happen?

Well... To be honest,
I didn't get to talk to him a lot.

Did you hear the rumors
floating around about him?

What rumors?

This is something I heard from
my colleague in that division.

In Libya... Wait, was it Libya?

In any case, he went
into a t*rror1st hideout there...

all by himself,

and k*lled a dozen of people.

No way.

You really didn't hear anything?

I've even heard that he shot
someone in a moving train.

Makes sense. He was a star agent,

so I'm sure he's not satisfied
being stuck in a place like this.

What's wrong with our team?

Are you really asking us that?

Honestly, they call us a team,

but we're nothing more
than an employment agency...

that goes in to fill in
for other people.

I heard you were in
Intelligence and Analysis.

- Yes.
- People are dying to go there,

so why did you come here?

Pardon?

I just thought it would be cool...

to work in the field.

Hey! How long has it been?

I seriously thought you were dead.

I can't believe I'm seeing you here.

- Have you been well?
- Yes.

- Is this it?
- Yes.

This is the information related to
the Brown Bear Project...

your team was in charge
of a year ago.

The security level for this
is really high,

so I had to screenshot
everything to print it out.

Thanks for this.

Do you need anything else?

This is our security pass.

I'm sure there's a record of someone
losing their pass recently.

Can you find out who that is?

I need to ask
the management team about this.

Is it okay if it takes some time?

It doesn't matter.

Just wire me two and half big ones
for all of this.

I already wired you five big ones.
Your account number hasn't changed.

This is why I like you so much.

[Employee Personal Information]

[Personnel Information,
Kim Dong Hwan, Expired]

[Dandong, China, two years ago]

I've met all sorts of people
in my time,

but I've never seen someone
as tight-lipped as you.

You said you're looking into
Huayang g*ng, right?

I heard they were really dangerous.

You can't be sure about that.

When you start digging
into something,

you'll end up bumping into another wall
that stops you.

But this time,

something is different.

Huayang g*ng is nothing more
than a branch.

I feel like there's something
even bigger underneath it.

No, I'm fine.

[Photo Evidence
Director Kim Dong Hwan's Death]

Everything you're about to see now
is top secret.

Just know that from
this moment on...

you guys are a part of a new project.

Two days ago,

Director Kim Dong Hwan
was attacked by a blunt weapon...

and m*rder*d by unknown assailants
in a hotel room in Dandong.

What's more shocking...

in Shenyang and Jilin,
two of our agents,

Agents Kim Dong Jun
and Lee Byung Soo...

were also ruthlessly m*rder*d
on the same day.

Based on the fact that
multiple agents were m*rder*d...

on the same day in the same way,

the agency suspects that a list
of our agents have been leaked...

and is taking this situation
very seriously.

You only have one mission.

Make them pay
for what they have done.

From this moment, this project...

will assume Director Kim Dong Hwan's
code name...

and be called the
Brown Bear Project.

Can I get some noodles?

Who?

Are you Lee Choon Gil?

You know
Director Kim Dong Hwan, right?

Do you have a death wish?

What are you trying to play at?

I was told that you were
his favorite criminal informant.

He said he found you at the border
begging for food...

and treated you like a brother.

I heard you're doing well
in Huayang g*ng now.

You guys are the ones who did that
to Director Kim, aren't you?

Find out...

who was involved...

and how.

[Hwang Mo Sool, Second-in-command]

[Ri Sung Min,
North Korean Narcotics Factory]

[Second-in-command]

One, two, three.

- Hwang Young?
- Who are you?

The beginning of the memory
that I lost...

Who was...

that man?

We were looking into Huayang g*ng.

Right.

I should start there.

[A photo of Huayang g*ng's
Jang Gwang Cheol]

Check the products that just came in
and wait for me to call.

Yes, sir.

[Our Central Market]

[Jang Gwang Cheol]

It's him.
It's definitely Jang Gwang Cheol.

Okay.
Call the Drug investigation Unit.

Yes, sir.

This is Alpha. We verified him.
You can go in now.

Get him!

I found him!

Darn it!

Darn it.

Son of a g*n!

Get out of the car!

Get out!

- Get out of the car!
- Darn it!

Get away! I'll stab you.

- Get out!
- Get out of the car!

Hey. You can stop now.

Everyone, step back.

My goodness.

Maybe he's a criminal.

- Who is he?
- I don't know.

Look at him. He must a bad man.

I can't believe it. He's a criminal.

Hey.

- Put your hands up.
- Don't sh**t me.

I'm just the driver.

This is 112. What's your emergency?

Hello? Please go ahead and speak.

Release Jang Gwang Cheol
who is being detained...

at Namburo Police Station.

Immediately deport him
back to his country...

without conditions.

Could you be more specific
about your emergency?

If you don't,

we will k*ll a police officer.

Keep this in mind.

Until you release Jang Gwang Cheol,

you will lose one officer every day.

And this is...

the first present for you.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you feeling all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Can you prescribe me
something stronger than methadone?

It doesn't help even when
I take several pills.

If you depend on it,
your body won't withstand it.

How're the tremors in your hands?

I don't have them anymore.

Has any of your memories
returned recently?

Okay. You don't have to tell me
if you don't want to.

But please remember this.

The facts stored in your brain...

are the combination
of your memories and emotions.

But your case is unusual.

Your memories are completely lost,
but you still remember the emotions.

Anger, vengeance,
and sadness are still there.

But you have no idea where
these emotions are coming from.

The power of emotions
is stronger than memories.

You should keep your mind clear...

so your memories won't be
swept by your emotions.

The power of emotions
is stronger than memories...

Are you trying to say my memories...

can change according to my emotions?

That's right.

Memories aren't
as solid as you think.

They're more like soft clay.

That means
their shape can easily be changed.

Yes. What is it?

Where are you?

I think you have to
come to the office right now.

[National Intelligence Service]

Follow me. The deputy commissioner
wants to see us.

Refuse it.

Whatever the deputy commissioner
wants you to do, refuse it.

This isn't something you can handle
in your state.

Keep that in mind. I'm warning you.

Who's the IO at Daehan Daily?

Tell the IO
to remove the article now.

[An intelligence officer
who gathers domestic intelligence.]

Call him.

Is he on the line?

Thank you. You may leave.

My apologies...

for summoning you like this.
I should've called you earlier.

We'll talk later.
Please take a seat.

Yes, ma'am.

You must have noticed it already...

the agency is having
a bit of trouble.

We all know each other well
so I'll get to the point.

Put it on the screen.

[Jang Gwang Cheol]

Can you recognize who it is?

His real name isn't Jang Gwang Cheol
but Choi Gwang Cheol.

He wasn't born in Yanji City, China.
He was born in Vladivostok.

He was born to an ethnic Korean father
and a Russian mother.

He k*lled his father with his bare hands
as a teenager.

Apparently, he changed
his surname after that.

He got into the Russian mafia
in the Far East.

He joined Samhwa g*ng in Yanji City
then got in Huayang g*ng.

The boss of Huayang g*ng
trusts him the most.

He's second-in-command of the g*ng.

Director Kang.

Three days ago,

the police arrested him
while he was in our country.

He's in police custody right now.

But something came up.

Release Jang Gwang Cheol
who is being detained...

at Namburo Police Station.

Immediately deport him back to
his country without conditions.

If you don't,
we will k*ll a police officer.

Keep this in mind.

Until you release Jang Gwang Cheol,
you will lose one officer every day.

And this is the first present...

to you.

It's the voice of Officer Kim Jin h*
from Yoocheon police substation.

They captured Officer Kim
when he was on patrol...

and forced him to make the call.

And as they warned us,
they k*lled Officer Kim.

He was stabbed
in his neck, chest, and stomach.

We found more than 30 stab wounds
on his body.

Jang Gwang Cheol is in our custody
but he's not saying anything.

It's getting closer to the time
that they warned.

Not only the police
but our agency is...

I know. We're panicking.

Because he's someone
we've never dealt with before.

This is drastic
even for Huayang g*ng.

It's highly possible
Jang Gwang Cheol has...

an important piece of information
that can't be exposed.

So what is
that piece of information?

Only two things matter to them.

It's either related to their interests...

or related to their boss Hwang Mo Sool.

I'm sure it's related to either of them.

Ma'am, that's groundless speculation.

Huayang g*ng is
like a predator in their world.

Our government authority isn't
as powerful as China's.

So I don't think
we can deal with them...

through a legal process.

So?

First, we need to find out
what's in Jang Gwang Cheol's head.

And when we do,

we'll be able to turn the tide
of this fight.

I want to interrogate
Jang Gwang Cheol. Let me do it.

No.

I can't allow that.

- Your personal agenda...
- Yes, you can do it.

Interrogate him yourself.

Ma'am, this isn't
what we've discussed.

He can't be sent to the field
in his state.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Which one of us do you think
can deal with them?

We don't have time
to sit and chat like this.

- Chief Ha.
- Yes, ma'am.

Take him
to the police station right now.

And as for the interrogation,

let him do it.

Why aren't you answering me?

Yes, ma'am.

If there's no other suggestion,
let's end the meeting.

Han Ji Hyuk!

You little son of a g*n.

Did you think I was joking?
I told you to refuse it.

Do you think I don't know
you have other intentions?

Maybe you can't grasp the situation
because the boss favors you.

This might cost
both of our jobs in an instant.

So what you're about to do?

You need to stop it here. Okay?

- That's odd.
- What?

The one who k*lled three agents
and threw our agency in confusion...

appeared right before our eyes.

You look as if you're fine with it.

Chief Ha, you should be
up against them, not me,

at least in this moment.

Do you think you're such a hot shot?

Let's wait and see
how long you can keep your calm.

Three, two, one.

The end. Let's go home.

Great work today.

- Let's go home.
- Time to leave.

Aren't you leaving?

I have nothing else to do
in particular.

And Ji Hyuk isn't back either.

Goodness, what a loyal partner.

So what? Nobody cares.

- Keep it up.
- Yes, goodbye.

Hyo Eun.

I'm so sorry,

but may I take a look
at your old case files?

It's my first time working
in the field, so I wanted to study.

Why didn't you ask me sooner?

I'm sorry.

[Kind police for our citizens]

Please don't mind him.

He just became sensitive...

because his colleagues were k*lled.

This way, please.

He refused to eat
ever since he got here,

and he won't say a thing.

We've been through
our highs and lows,

but we've never met anyone
as tenacious as him.

What's your plan?

- We'll go in...
- No, I'll go in alone.

Please turn off all CCTVs in there.

Well, we have rules to follow too.

We'll be responsible for everything
that happens from now on.

So please proceed.

And remove his cuffs too.

- His handcuffs?
- Hey, Ji Hyuk.

Hey, Jang Gwang Cheol.

No, your real name is
Choi Gwang Cheol.

What's with that guy?

Your henchmen k*lled
a police officer to save you.

I know this isn't the mainland,
but it's still excessive.

Why do you take things this far?

All right, we have plenty of time.

You have quite a history.

You've been in and out
of Russia Federal Prison,

And you've spent a few years
in Shenyang Prison.

I hear people in your field
tattoo your history.

Right?

Let me find out
what your past is like.

At first, you started
as a petty pickpocket.

Then you came of age in prison.

So you started off
as nothing but a petty thief?

I'm a little disappointed.

Most clever people
learn to avoid serving time.

You must've been
addicted for a while.

Is that why you've been
breaking out in cold sweat?

Because of your withdrawal?

If you haven't served time for that,
you must've been careful,

unlike how you look.

And you even served time for r*pe?

And your victim was...

a man.

Hey, just out of curiosity.

Did your sexual preference change
after serving in prison for long?

Or...

is it because of what your dad did
when you were young?

You jerk!

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey.

Did you find anything?

[Police]

[This is the second present...]

- Detective Hwang.
- Yes?

I looked everywhere,
but I can't find it.

What can't you find? What is it?

His hand. It looks like
a hatchet was used.

My gosh.

[Quick Delivery]

[Make It Happen Quick Delivery]

[Police Station]

Man.

You know what?

A wild dog...

sometimes hunts down its prey
even though it won't eat it.

How would I know why it does that?

He finally began to speak.

Chief Ha.

You need to come here.

What is it?

Well, it's...

I lived in a border town
called Kraskino as a kid.

It was freezing in winter,

so it'd usually snow up to here.

One day, I woke up...

and found dozens
of sheep and goats...

we kept in that town
completely annihilated.

We came to found out
that the day before,

officers in border control
in a nearby mountain...

burned a wild dog's cubs for fun.

The mother wild dog
who lost its babies...

came down into the town at night
and k*lled all the animals.

Now.

Listen up.

A wild dog...

never kills without a reason.

It's just that idiots like you
have no idea what the reason is.

You still don't get it?

You aren't in my league.

You stupid half-wits.

The second victim was
just found in your jurisdiction.

It looks like
this belonged to the victim.

[m*rder Scene
of Director Kim Dong Hwan]

Starting now,

if you want to talk,

tap on the floor...

because you won't be able to speak
no matter how hard you try.

Got it?

Don't move.

[Interrogation Room]

Hey.

Han Ji Hyuk! Open up.

Han Ji Hyuk.

Open the door now. Hey!

What is it that you know?

Ji Hyuk. Have you gone mad?

What do you think you're doing?

You scumbag.

You still don't get why...

I'm here?

Listen to me.

You are a dead man now.

Han Ji Hyuk.

What is it?

What made you go berserk like that?

[National Police Agency]

Are you sure
you've never met the guy before?

It looked like
he knew something about you.

Sir, we must get going now.

I need to head over
to the scene now.

So you will meet with
the deputy commissioner tomorrow...

and tell her yourself that you want
to be taken off this case. Got it?

Oh, right. I almost forgot.

Some guys were with Jang Gwang Cheol
when he was arrested.

We need to make a report.

So go and check on them
before you head back to the agency.

Let me warn you.

Don't lay a finger on them.

[National Police Agency]

[National Intelligence Service]

You startled me!

Is that you, Je Yi?

What are you doing here
at this hour?

I could ask you the same thing.

Goodness.

Gosh.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

It's a surprise
to see you working late.

Hey, don't even start.

I haven't been home for two days.

I'm dying here.

What is it? What's the case?

We got a damaged cell phone recently.

And the higher-ups have been
on our backs...

to restore the data on the phone.

But you seem better now.

What is this?
I guess you belong in the field.

As if.

I haven't even been out
on the field yet.

Oh, my.

The team leader said
you can come back anytime.

You'll have your position back
in no time.

Well, it's nice to hear that
even if it's an empty offer.

It's not an empty offer.

The team leader keeps
comparing me to you.

- You're in every conversation.
- Fine.

Let's talk once things die down.

- Anyway, I'll call you after this.
- Sure.

- Okay? Goodnight.
- Okay.

Je Yi.

Hey, didn't you tell me...

your new partner was pretty famous
in the Foreign Intelligence Bureau?

- What was his name?
- You mean Han Ji Hyuk?

Yes. That's him.

I'm not sure
if I should be telling you this.

You know, it's the cell phone
I mentioned earlier.

I found something on that phone.

What is it?

I interrogated him.

But I don't think he knows anything.

He's still wet behind his ears,
but he's got a nasty temper.

He's waiting for his boss,

so he won't even eat
before his boss is released.

Who's that?

Oh, him? He's not in the g*ng.

He said he came to Korea
three years ago from Jilin.

A while ago, he was introduced
to this job by his hometown friend.

He got paid to drive them around
and be their guide.

So you got paid to be their driver?

Well, every little bit helps.

Do you remember anything?

Please eat.

It's all right.
Please have your food.

Did Jang Gwang Cheol tell you
anything about the boss or revenge?

Please call this number
if you remember anything.

Please call me.

- Did you talk to him?
- Yes.

- Quiet down.
- I'm a model citizen.

- This is absurd.
- Just let us do this.

- Come on.
- The three of you, stop talking.

- Come on, tell them to come.
- What?

What's going on?

They came to turn themselves in
for staying in Korea illegally.

They have been coming in one
at a time to give us a hard time.

We've already been getting calls
from our district.

It's already hectic as it is.

- Come on.
- I'm a model citizen. Seriously.

By the way, about the incident
in the interrogation room...

I'll make sure they know
you had nothing to do with this.

Thank you.

[Missed calls from Yoo Je Yi]

[Yoo Je Yi]

Sir, this is Yoo Je Yi.

I've been calling you.

I saw. What's this about?

It's just that there's something
you should know.

I just ran into one of my colleagues
I used to work with.

A few days ago,
the Foreign Intelligence Bureau...

arrested members
of a drug cartel from China...

and found a damaged cell phone.

And my colleague is in charge of
restoring the data from it.

He found something from the phone
and sent me the file.

Okay. What is that?

Wait.

I just sent you the file.

[Messages]

A video of you,
taken at Incheon Port Authority,

went viral as you probably know.

I think the photo was captured
in that video.

That means the owner
of the phone knew who you were.

Any ideas who that might be?

Are you sure
you've never met the guy before?

It looked like
he knew something about you.

You are a dead man now.

Han Ji Hyuk.

[National Intelligence Service,
Confidential]

When did you come to Korea?

Answer my question.

[Police Service Charter]

Answer me.

You punk! What are you looking at?

Hey! Stop them!

- Hey!
- You jerk!

- Stop it!
- Hey!

[Attached Photo 1: Photographic
evidence of target removal]

[Attached Photo 1: Photographic
evidence of target removal]

- Hwang Young?
- What?

The mother wild dog
who lost its babies...

came down into the town at night
and k*lled all the animals.

So what is
that piece of information?

Only two things matter to them.

It's either related to their interests...

or related to their boss Hwang Mo Sool.

[Attached Photo 1: Photographic
evidence of target removal]

- Hey, you punk!
- What's going on?

[Generator]

[Chief Ha Dong Kyun]

I won't repeat myself.

If you don't want to see him die
in front of you,

open the door.

Lieutenant Kim, hurry!

Hey, Gwang Cheol.

The mother wild dog
who lost its babies...

came down into the town at night
and k*lled all the animals.

Gosh, darn it.

The problem is always
someone running their mouth.

Your mouth!

Darn it!

Darn it!

Darn it!

[Restricted Number]

Hey.

I've been looking everywhere
for you, Han Ji Hyuk.

Wait for me.

I'll come and find you soon.

Yes.

Lee Choon Gil.

It was him.

[The Veil]

I'm taking my hands off this case
as of today.

Don't you want to find out...

the next move he'll make?

Let me be a part
of what you're about to do.

Don't get too close to him.

He said the entire nation
will be in shock very soon.

This is pure insanity.

You were going to fight them
without bracing yourself?

I'm headed there now.

Come out now. Hurry.

Do you still think there's hope?
