The Veil (Black Sun / Geomeun Taeyang / 검은 태양)

Episode 1

Hey!

Go get a young girl.

- Okay. - Go!

What are you doing? Come with me now.

Where are you?

Did the person that just left really leave on a boat?

What the heck are you doing?

Do you think I'm a joke?

Found you.

No, please don't.

You idiot.

- Please let her live. - What's with you?

Please help my daughter.

Please help her.

Dad...

Sea Special Attack Team

Sir, I think you need to come here.

Roger.

Watch out for dead bodies ahead.

Sea Special Attack Team

A person ahead. Get ready.

Come out!

Enter.

Enter.

Hands up!

Put your hands up!

Please help...

Put your hands up!

Drop your weapon! Put your hands up!

Standby. Do not shoot.

Disclose your identity!

If you don't, we'll shoot!

Four.

Seven.

Four. Nine.

This was the gunshot.

Chief Ha, I'm sorry to interrupt you.

- What is it? - The Coast Guard just tried...

to identify one of our staff, so I looked into it,

but the file is locked.

It's locked?

I can't access it with my clearance level.

National Intelligence Service

- Put it up. - Yes, sir.

- Can you put it up on the screen? - Yes, I will.

Han Ji Hyuk

Han Ji Hyuk, NIS Black Agent, Foreign Intelligence, Class 5

The paperwork states he's already dead.

- Who did it? - Sorry?

Who tried to identify him?

Western Regional Coast Guard.

Contact the director. Now.

What is it? It's my day off.

What is it?

What?

Yes, I already checked.

I compared the fingerprint the Coast Guard ran, and it's him.

It's Agent Han Jin Hyuk.

Okay. How is he?

I don't have information on that. I'll have to check myself.

You know that this information cannot be leaked out, right?

Do whatever it takes to bring him here.

Don't worry, sir.

Repatriation of Agent Han Ji Hyuk

As you're aware,

when our agency or civilians are damaged by our enemies,

we track down the cause and carry out...

retaliation operations.

We kept Heukyang in operation,

a team of elite agents under the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.

It's a secret task force.

And Han Ji Hyuk belonged to Heukyang.

He was the best field agent we had who successfully executed...

our projects abroad.

And this is his best work.

Name: Han Ji Hyuk

Three years, in Libya,

two of our agents were publicly executed by an armed organization.

And Heukyang was able to eliminate the leader of the organization,

Abu-nidal, after pursuing him for months.

He even impressed international media outlets.

Detective Kim.

What's going on?

Korea Coast Guard

A year ago,

three of our agents who were dispatched...

to China and North Korea were murdered.

Han Ji Hyuk along with other agents from Heukyang...

were assigned to the case.

And they acquired intel...

that there was a drug cartel that dealt drugs from North Korea.

They were able to destroy the network...

and on the verge of completing their mission.

And during the operation,

two of the agents from Heukyang and Han Ji Hyuk...

vanished without any trace.

Back then, we utilized all of our resources to find them.

But we weren't able to find Han's body in the end.

Incident Summary

Please take a look at this.

This footage was filmed around 5 a.m. today...

from a ship that was drifting on the West Coast.

Who's that?

I know it may be hard to believe, but that's Han Ji Hyuk.

Is he Jesus or something?

Pardon?

I mean, think about it.

He's risen from the dead.

Doesn't that ring a bell?

How could you handle this matter so poorly?

You made a perfectly healthy man into a corpse.

Well, you know that we always have a good reason for it.

After that agent went missing a year ago,

the list of our international agents in China got leaked.

Jung Yong Tae: Director of Security Investigations Division

And then we lost all of our agents for North Korea.

It's known as the Bloody Friday Incident.

Hey, Director Jung.

That's enough.

Right. That's true.

We did rush to close the case...

due to the diplomatic conflict between us and China.

Thanks to that, weren't you able to cover up your scandal...

regarding surveilling innocent civilians?

I remember that caused quite a headache for you.

And we are bringing him in as we speak.

If you give us a bit more time, we'll get to the bottom of this.

Sure. I don't think we need to make a big fuss about it.

But as you are the experts in this field,

please take care of this however you see fit.

Sir.

I have arranged what we talked about for the appointment...

of the Minister of Justice last week.

I'll brief you in the afternoon.

Don't let me keep you here. You can get back to work now.

Go ahead.

Please.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

It seems that they were smuggling these people...

into the country...

and harvesting their organs against their will on the ship.

The rest of the people were found a few kilometers away in a rubber boat.

- Mr. Kim. - Yes.

Why do you think Han Ji Hyuk was...

on that ship?

Wasn't he trying to come back to Korea?

They probably didn't know they were trafficking organs.

No, listen.

Why did he try to come back as a stowaway?

That's...

Ji Hyuk.

Han Ji Hyuk.

By the way, the Korea Coast Guard was able to find the ship.

- They said they got a tip. - What?

A tip?

I looked into it just in case.

The person who gave them the tip...

used an untraceable line just like we do.

Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

The professional go player, Lee Se Dol, didn't give up...

and managed to win a match that's worth his every effort.

Let's hear more from Reporter Lee Jun Beom.

The AI machine, AlphaGo, waves the white flag in the end.

The first victory of Lee Se Dol has been confirmed...

The scars on his body tell us...

he was tortured and locked up for a very long time.

Other than he's dehydrated, his numbers look good.

But...

we found dozens of neurochemical substances in his blood.

Neurochemical substances?

And among them, there's a substance called Zet-IP, also known as ZIP.

So what that drug does is that...

it affects our brain and wipes out our memory.

Well, we are developing it on our end to treat...

post traumatic stress disorders.

I don't follow you.

In other words, someone had injected him with small doses of ZIP...

and erased Han Ji Hyuk's memory.

Of course, it was done on purpose.

Are you telling me he lost his memory?

Yes.

To be precise,

he doesn't have any memory since his disappearance until now.

It's like someone had carved out his brain.

He doesn't remember a thing for the past year.

This isn't your first time, right?

I read in your record that...

you underwent the captivity avoidance training.

Let me clarify it just in case.

This is a completely different device.

It can record your heart rate, blood pressure, brainwaves,

and even minor vibrations in your eyes and ears.

What I want to do right now is very simple.

I just need to evaluate...

if you're telling me the truth or not.

And I will be reporting the result to your superior.

If...

you are hiding something right now,
