01x12 - Ji Hyuk And Ye Ji Race Against Time

[bunniefuu]

Kim Young Chul!

Freeze.

[Battle of Hancheng Tenth-Anniversary Commemoration]

Get down!

[Final Episode]

[Unknown Caller]

I think there has been a misunderstanding.

What I'm after isn't meaningless bloodshed.

Baek Mo Sa, where are you?

Stop hiding and show yourself.

In Shenyang back then,

do you remember the phone call right after you shot Kim Dong Wook?

Have you forgotten how far they made you go?

So why are you still with them?

Now you know them better than anyone.

It seems they're acting in the name of the agency...

but they only act for their own gain.

We were just collateral damage.

No.

You're wrong.

You think only what you see is the truth, don't you?

But the truth can always change...

from a different perspective.

If you think you're doing justice,

you're mistaken.

You're only doing this for your vengeance...

sacrificing innocent people. And I will make sure...

you pay for your sin.

All right. But do you really think you can?

You couldn't even save your own people.

Baek Mo Sa.

I'll make sure I catch you.

I'm sorry, but it's all over.

My plan will become a reality soon.

And you will watch it unfold.

- What's wrong with my computer?
- Mine doesn't work either.

- My goodness.
- What's going on?

Gosh, my phone isn't working either.

What's going on?

[Computer System Paralysed]

The phone is turned off. You'll be connected to voicemail.

I'm heading to Yeouido.

Ji Hyuk.

What's going on?

Send backup to Yeouido as soon as possible.

What?

- Okay. Go ahead first.
- Okay.

It was an EMP b*mb.

It's different from the conventional b*mb they used last time.

Nothing's working.

What about yours?

In Shenyang back then,

do you remember the phone call right after you shot Kim Dong Wook?

Breaking News.

It is reported that all mobile and electronic devices...

in the Yeouido area went out of order...

by an unknown error.

The number you dialled is not in service.

Yes. Did you find it?

[Janghang IC]

I think he took Gangbyeon Expressway then got on Jayu-ro.

Jayu-ro?

Due to this error, Hanmin Bank's data server shut down...

and the bank temporarily stopped all banking services.

Chang Kyu, is that building...

Hanmin Bank's Data Center?

Yes, it was originally their main center.

But they moved it to a new building last year.

So now, it's a backup center.

They moved it to a new building?

Where is the new building?

One second.

It's in Paju.

Okay. I'll call you back.

Je Yi, what are you...

- Can I make another call?
- Sure.

[Answer]

- Hello.
- It's me.

Yes. What happened?

I figured out what Baek Mo Sa's after.

It's Hanmin Bank's Data Center.

Hanmin Bank's Data Center?

Financial records of the biggest bank in Korea.

He wants to erase the entire record.

I'm headed to the main data center in Paju.

I'll see you there.

I'll be at the basement parking lot. Hurry.

He's going to attack Hanmin Bank's Data Center?

Yes, if an EMP b*mb goes off inside the building,

the entire data in their server will be destroyed.

Don't they have any defence facility?

They're defenceless against EMP attacks.

- Han Ji Hyuk is on his way, right?
- Yes, ma'am.

Chief Ha organized a backup team and they're on their way.

And the Blue House?

They called an emergency NSC meeting.

The executive director is in the meeting via video conferencing.

[Hanmin Bank]

Excuse me.

[Jinhyup Seafood]

Who are these guys?

Shut the gates now.

[Hanmin Bank Group Complete Data Center Floor Plan]

[High Limit 2.1m]

We've just arrived at the basement parking lot.

Can you get inside the building?

All entrances to the building have been shut down.

I think they had breached the security system in advance.

It's highly possible Choi Sang Kyun cooperated with him.

So we're going to need his help.

Okay. Anything else?

We'll look for the truck with an EMP b*mb in it.

All right. Report back if you find anything unusual.

Yes, ma'am.

- You heard him, right?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Bring Choi Sang Kyun now.
- Yes, ma'am.

Why are you looking for him?

He snuck into Lee In Hwan's room, and I brought him to our agency.

Sang Kyun.

Sir.

If there were batteries,

it would've been hard to move it...

without heavy equipment due to the weight.

Right. We need to get into the center.

How many employees are inside the center?

It was a public holiday,

so only the minimum number of staff are in the building.

Ma'am.

They uploaded a video on this video website.

Play it.

My demand is very simple.

I will give you two choices, and you'll pick one.

All the data...

regarding the money at the bank...

is stored in this building.

Will you save the money?

Or will you save these 33 people...

you see here?

I just...

want to ask you this.

What kind of decision will your government...

make as a nation?

And how much do they value people's lives?

Oh, right. This is a sneak peek for you to help make...

your decision.

Listen up.

You have exactly three hours.

If you fail to make a decision by then,

you will have to watch with your two eyes...

all these 33 people die.

We have a call.

I think it's him.

Put him through.

It's me, Yoo Joon Man.

Talk.

Why are you doing this?

Are you still under this false impression...

that I'm doing this to get revenge?

I will tell you a few of my conditions.

Here's the first one.

If I see even an agent...

within the 50m radius of the center,

the hostages will be ex*cuted in that very instant.

Here's the second one.

If your people go after one of my people, I'll do the same.

Here's the third one.

If you block the video I'm streaming right now,

I'll k*ll the hostages.

I will wait for your wise decision.

Hey. Director Yoo.

Director Yoo!

This video is going viral.

A lot of people are wishing that the records...

for their mortgages and credit card bills would get wiped out.

But the majority of people are saying we should save the hostages.

This was what he was after...

from the get-go.

It's the executive director.

This is Do Jin Sook.

Deputy Commissioner Do.

You know that the NSC is holding an emergency meeting, right?

And I just talked to them.

Why don't we let the military take care of this case?

As you've been debriefed,

the man leading this t*rror1st attack...

used to be one of my subordinates.

And two of my agents...

are in the building right now.

And one of the agents is Han Ji Hyuk.

Han Ji Hyuk?

Yes. As you know, the data center is an important national facility.

There are no windows. And there are only two entrances.

Even those entrances have been sealed off.

Realistically speaking, dispatching people into the building...

without their knowledge is impossible.

If you let me handle this,

I will put everything on the line to resolve this.

Hold on. Let me discuss that first.

It's me. Given the current situation,

you can resolve this on your end.

And I don't have to tell you that you must remove...

the EMP b*mb first.

Then what about the hostages?

That is our decision. So do as I say.

[Han Ji Hyuk]

These people are trying to hurt even more people now.

To stop that, we must get our agents...

into the data center.

And we're running out of time.

Sang Kyun. Can you help us?

- Gosh.
- Hello.

He hacked into the security system of the data center.

I'm sure he'll be very helpful.

Okay. Come sit here.

Why is he taking it this far?

Because he probably thought that our country abandoned him.

And he's projecting...

what happened to him onto this.

If he thinks of himself as the hostages,

the data at the bank...

must represent the gain...

our country chose instead of saving him back then.

In the end, he just wants to show everyone that our country...

won't choose the hostages.

Yes.

The first goal we have now...

is locating the EMP b*mb.

Not the hostages?

Security will be tight around the hostages.

We'll proceed with it after we disarm the EMP b*mb.

Yes, ma'am.

[Hanmin Bank Group Complete Data Center Floor Plan]

- I just got it.
- You got it?

Did you see the second floor on the map?

It's highly likely that it's in the electrical room.

Even if the electricity gets cut from outside,

the EMP b*mb must smoothly be able to operate.

That's the only room with the UPS and the backup generator.

You can't do that.

We must find the hostages first.

We can't be emotional about this.

Ma'am!

Do you know how big Hanmin Bank is?

They take up a quarter of our country's finances.

All the money in there will disappear.

I'm not talking about just the savings.

I'm talking about loans, corporate transactions, and everything.

This could weaken our country's foundation.

Even so.

Based on our principles and conviction,

we must put our people's lives first and foremost.

We cannot turn our backs on our people whose lives are in danger.

I'm not saying that I'll give up on them.

Considering the situation, I prioritized our tasks.

You considered the situation?

If things can change based on situations,

we can't call it a principle.

If we can't even keep the values we have set for ourselves,

how does that make us any different than those people?

I don't know how you'll take it.

But to some people, the money in the bank might mean everything.

Countless people and corporates...

might be on the verge of losing everything.

The number of people committing suicide...

might surpass the number of hostages by dozens of times!

Then how many more people do you need?

How many more people must be locked up in there...

to be as important as those numbers in the server.

For the safety and benefit of the majority,

we must be able to make decisions beyond ethics and morals.

Only we can do that. And it is our duty!

Even if it means getting blood on our hands,

we cannot avoid that.

If you're not ready to fulfill your duty,

You don't deserve to be here!

Sir.

There's something off about this.

How so?

I think it's empty.

It doesn't have the necessary parts or circuits.

This...

is an empty shell.

They were planning on k*lling all of the hostages.

What?

They were certain that the government...

wouldn't choose the hostages.

Think about it.

If they sacrifice all of the hostages...

to keep the bank data safe,

what would happen...

when the fact that this EMP b*mb is an empty shell comes out?

They're trying to get the citizens...

to lose their trust in the government.

We have to let them know this.

[No Service]

Sir.

Our phones don't work.

They've blocked the transmission.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Someone has come up to the roof.

Do not fire. They're one of us.

What are they doing?

They found the EMP b*mb, but it's fake.

It's fake?

There's nothing inside. It's just a shell.

[The Blue House]

We can't step up and cave in to their demands.

Furthermore,

how can you be sure that they have an EMP in the first place?

Are you trying to gamble with the fate of the nation?

We've already decided, so follow orders.

Also, we're going to send in our military troops 15 minutes...

before the deadline they demanded.

Find out where the EMP is before then.

Ma'am.

We have to alter our plan to focus on saving the hostages.

You know that Director Yoo Joon Man is just playing mind games.

You know that better than anyone else.

The risk is too big for us.

There's a risk for whichever decision we make.

If that's the case,

we should choose the one we believe is right.

Connect me to Chief Ha.

What if...

they order us to find the EMP?

Change of plans.

Find the hostages.

They're changing the plans.

They want us to find the hostages first.

Yoo Je Yi.

How much time do we have left?

About 50 minutes.

It's not enough time to check every single floor.

What should we do?

[Hanmin Bank Group Complete Data Center Floor Plan]

[Seventh Floor]

The situation room on the seventh floor.

We can see the entire building in there through the CCTV cameras.

Don't you think they're using this as their control tower?

Is there a way we can lure Baek Mo Sa out?

[Hanmin Bank Group Complete Data Center Floor Plan]

[Ninth Floor]

[Broadcasting Room]

Sir.

I think there's a way.

[Broadcasting Room]

I found it, sir.

My dad played me this song a lot when I was young.

Do you think you can get him to move with this?

We have to try something.

If my dad is still inside Baek Mo Sa somewhere,

he will react. I'm sure of it.

[Second Floor]

[Status]

Sir, this room is still connected to the internet.

I don't think we need to go to the situation room.

We could turn on the music in each area,

and we can check to see when the hostages react.

Then we can figure out which area they're in.

Hold on.

[First Floor A]

[Hanmin Bank]

[Hanmin Securities]

[First Floor B]

[Second Floor B]

[Third Floor A]

What is this?

Mom. What's this sound?

It's nothing. It's okay.

Did you see that?

They started moving.

They're in Area C on the third floor.

Area C on the third floor?

Sir.

I just had another thought.

What is this? Where is it coming from?

- It's the broadcasting room.
- The broadcasting room?

[Security Room, CCTV surveillance in operation]

He went for the hostages.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Can you hear me? Destroy it right away.

That's no good.

Nobody can get in there now.

To be frank, I didn't expect...

to see you here again.

But nothing will change.

There are expl*sives in that room...

along with the 33 hostages.

And you have the detonator.

Do you want it?

Then come up to the rooftop.

I'll wait for you.

You don't have to be scared.

What are you doing?

Why don't you have the whereabouts of the EMP b*mb?

Please give us a little more time.

Didn't you say you'll take responsibility?

If this is how you'll do things, hand it over to the military.

Call the National Security Council. I'll report the situation myself.

What's that in his hand?

I think it's the detonator.

Do not sh**t without my order.

If he presses the detonator by mistake, it'll be all over.

Toss your g*n.

So? Do you still think you can stop me?

You need to come to your senses.

Nothing will change...

even if you k*ll innocent people and incite them like this.

What a shame.

This is how everything ends.

I thought...

you of all people would understand.

Understand?

Understand what?

Right.

Because we've both k*lled one of our colleagues?

No.

I'm different from you.

I'm doing my best...

to admit to my mistakes and accept what I have done.

But you're still...

blaming external factors as the reason for your m*rder...

instead of yourself.

That's what led you to this moment.

Shut up.

That's why you continuously kept your eyes on me,

hoping...

I would become a monster just like you did.

Yes, I'll admit it.

When you were completely broken in Shenyang,

I thought you were like a b*mb.

I thought you'd blow up heroically once you came back here.

But you didn't.

Why not?

Why haven't you changed as you did back then?

But that's all meaningless now.

No one can stop me anymore.

You'll never press that.

Do you think so?

You are...

getting sacrificed for this message.

Take a good look.

This is the moment when everything begins.

I just had another thought.

Once we lure Baek Mo Sa out,

I want you to go to the situation room...

and stopped them from checking the security cameras.

And meanwhile...

[Employee ID Card, Hanmin Bank]

I'll go to the area where the hostages are locked up,

pretend to be an employee, and become a hostage.

Who are you?

I work here.

You want to go in there alone?

No.

That's too dangerous. We must find another way.

I'm scared too.

But...

no matter how hard I try to separate myself from my dad,

I just can't.

I'll just trust...

that a small part of my dad is still...

within Baek Mo Sa.

And I think that will keep me...

and those people safe.

I'll tell you...

why I didn't become a monster like you.

Unlike you,

I had a colleague who believed in me to the end.

And that colleague is your daughter,

Yoo Je Yi.

Gosh. No.

Dad.

No. I...

Yoo Joon Man.

That's your name. Yoo Joon Man.

And your dead colleague is Kim Young Gook.

Look.

That's your daughter.

To stop this disaster you planned,

she willingly went into that room.

Director Yoo Joon Man.

Come to your senses now.

Do it for your daughter.

I gave you...

a chance to make this right.

That's not it.

There was never a detonator.

What are you talking about?

The b*mb we installed...

is on a timer.

I set it...

so that it would blow up automatically in three hours.

What you're holding right now...

is a device...

that can stop the timer.

That device stops the b*mb from going off.

Press it.

You must press it to stop the b*mb from going off.

Press it.

Press it. Do it.

What are you doing?

Isn't he holding the detonator?

I'm sure he has a reason.

We must be a bit more patient and watch.

Didn't you tell me that Han Ji Hyuk was mentally unstable?

Call the sn*pers now!

- Sir!
- You can't do that!

Are you disobeying my order?

It's an order. sh**t him.

I'll just trust...

that a small part of my dad is still within Baek Mo Sa.

And I think that will keep me...

and those people safe.

Check.

- Oh, no.
- What is going on?

- What is this?
- Oh, no.

We're from the special forces.

Don't be afraid. Just do what we ask you to do.

Thank you.

- Save us.
- Thank you.

- Hurry, please.
- Thank you.

- My goodness.
- Thank you.

We're okay.

I found it.

Let me see you.

- Goodness.
- Gosh.

They eliminated the b*mb.

The situation is resolved.

k*ll me.

Do it now.

Sir, are you okay?

I'm okay.

You should go upstairs.

You're bleeding like crazy! What are you talking about?

Yoo Je Yi.

Listen up.

Je Yi.

I'm asking you not as your senior, but your colleague.

I'm all right. Go up now.

You don't have much time left.

Please.

Go now.

I heard about this girl every night.

My colleague had a daughter.

Whenever he talked about her,

he always...

smiled...

even in that pit of pure torment.

How was...

that daughter?

At home,

in the yard,

I had...

a daughter around your age too.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Don't leave.

I'm Han Ji Hyuk of the National Intelligence Service.

I am sitting here to confess something.

A year ago, while I was on a mission,

I found out about a monster...

within our organization.

That monster...

used the power of the organization to interfere with politics,

and they surveilled the citizens...

and tried to control public opinion.

Not only that,

they manipulated a number of cases...

in an attempt to instill fear and anxiety...

into our citizens' hearts.

That monster is known as...

Sangmuhoe.

It's a private group composed of past and current agents...

from our organization.

The incident today...

was started when they joined hands...

with a dark power in order to manipulate...

the elections.

In order to stop them,

I had to do the terrible task...

of k*lling my colleagues.

I will...

receive any and all punishment for that.

Please help me...

so that Sangmuhoe can also be punished for their actions.

There is something you must remember.

They are just a small number of people...

who feed off our organization.

As you may have seen today,

we need an organization...

that will decide and act...

to face the dangers...

that go against common sense.

[Tower of Patriotism]

At the Tower of Patriotism inside our agency,

there are nameless stars...

carved into the wall.

They sacrificed themselves for the country and the people,

but we cannot say...

who they are,

nor can they tell us.

The stars symbolize the nameless people who sacrificed their lives.

We must not forget...

their unseen devotion...

or their sacrifice.

Not only for them,

but for ourselves as well.

I...

have already sent out the list of people in Sangmuhoe...

and the evidence to prove their crimes to the media and agencies.

The encryption key...

to open that file...

[Reporter Jung Ki Sun]

[Reporter Jung Ki Sun]

I'm Reporter Jung Ki Sun from Trust News.

I can't believe I'm being bothered out here too.

Do you know NIS agent Han Ji Hyuk?

What?

Did he send you?

Don't you want to be free from Sangmuhoe?

Do you know something? Do you know what you're saying?

I know it very well.

My sister died,

and I was framed as a North Korean spy...

because of Sangmuhoe.

Fine.

I'll give you everything I have on Sangmuhoe.

You made the right decision.

- I will make sure...
- But...

I need some insurance too. Right?

I'm going to encrypt those files with a block chain.

Without my encryption key, nobody can open it.

When will you give me the encryption key?

When...

I'm sure you can get rid of Sangmuhoe,

I will give it to you.

[Reporter Jung Ki Sun]

The entire country is watching.

Think about it.

You won't get...

another chance like this.

The encryption key to open that file...

Seven.

C.

T.

Three.

[Encryption key]

[Five years later]

What are you doing?

We'll be late for our meeting.

Okay.

Miju Bio researcher, Kim Young Jin,

was meeting with a Chinese broker, who just entered the country.

We gave the prosecution Intel...

that they would meet at a hotel for a prototype strain.

And they successfully arrested them and secured the evidence yesterday.

You guys are doing really well these days.

Didn't you already resolve three cases in the first half?

Thank you, sir.

If you feel that way, could you...

- recommend me for a promotion?
- My gosh, stop it.

Instead of that,

why don't we set a date to have a team dinner?

- Sounds good.
- A team dinner sounds great.

- Let's have some beef.
- Beef.

Manager Yoo. Do you have time today?

Yes. What is it?

It's nothing serious. After Deputy Commissioner Do left,

you know she's been working as outside counsel, right?

Yes.

Can you go to her home and get a report?

This is the last one.

I should be the one going,

but I have something important going on at home tonight.

Okay.

[Do Jin Sook]

I heard you got promoted recently.

Yes, I did.

You're incredible. You endured all of that.

I'm serious.

I recognized it when you came to my house and threatened me with a g*n.

I knew you were extraordinary.

I met with Director Kang last week.

Oh, is he doing well?

I'm relieved...

that you seem to be fine.

Dong Kyun told me when he came to visit.

Why did you turn down the offer of your reinstatement?

I'm too tired to go back to work.

And I piled up too much bad karma.

I hoped you would follow in my footsteps...

instead of making that unnecessary choice.

I should pay for the crime I committed.

Is it because of Soo Hyun?

Come to think about it, it feels like ages ago.

I mean, the things we did there.

We could've opened up more when we worked together.

What made it so hard?

Please don't say that.

You've made many good changes for the organization.

Let's leave the younger generation to manage the rest from now on.

I always feel a little weird whenever I visit that place.

["NIS Reformation Bill Passes the Assembly Plenary Session"]

Do not let your guard down.

Sangmuhoe and the monster didn't show up by coincidence.

They're like shadows...

of the structural issues which our organization has.

We must always be careful...

and never let that shadow take form.

Yes, I'll always keep that in mind.

Oh, isn't today...

Ji Hyuk's release?

JI Hyuk.

You've done well.
