Episode 1

Yes.

I understand.

What happened?

It seems Russia caught on to Dr. Kim Myung Guk's plans to defect and took action.

Call for an emergency meeting.

I've already contacted everyone.

We failed three weeks ago with Hong Seung Ryong.

Now it happened again.

Is there an intelligence leak somewhere?

I'm very sorry.

We're trying to find out how this happened.

Hong Seung Ryong is dead.

All the team members are also dead.

This is Dr. Kim Myung Guk, head of Atomic Energy Research in North Korea.

He has a brilliant mind that North Korea took advantage of to develop atomic energy and nuclear weapons.

But he became disillusioned by North Korea wanting to use his skills to only develop weapons.

So he sent a secret message to us to help him defect.

When we received the intelligence that Dr. Kim will attend

the International Nuclear Energy Seminar in Tottori, Japan as a North Korean delegate.

We planned to use that opportunity to extricate him.

Somehow Russia found out and kidnapped him.

We have information that Dr. Kim is being held at a Russian government facility.

Then,

where is Dr. Kim being held?

Currently, all we know is that it's somewhere in Japan.

If we can't stop them from taking Dr. Kim into their country,

it will become impossible to get him out.

Dr. Kim is not only a target of Russia,

but also of many other countries including China, Japan, US, and France.

If Dr. Kim were to work with our researchers

on developing the President's new nuclear program,

we believe it will reduce development time drastically

to bring that technology to completion.

As such,

we must execute an immediate plan to save him.

But...

Should something go wrong,

we would be inviting a diplomatic crisis.

That is why there is only one option available to us.

Due to the chance of an agent dying or encountering a problem during the mission,

we must use trained agents who cannot be traced to South Korea.

It's been a long time.

The President is waiting for you.

He's here.

Yes.

How should I address him?

There is no set protocol here.

He's normally addressed as Dr. Kwon (Korean) or Doctor Kwon (English).

Is that so?

I'll call you Dr. Kwon (Korean).

Have you heard of the new generation of nuclear energy?

I have not.

Once the technology has been fully developed,

it can produce enough energy for over a hundred years,

without using nuclear reactors to produce that energy.

I am certain this new technology will provide

for the basic needs of our people in future years.

But...

the person who developed that technology encountered some problems.

I heard what those problems were.

Call in all Black 7 agents.

- These are the list of new acts. - Yes.

How are the tickets selling?

It looks like all shows will be sold out by the weekend.

Good job.

Are they all here?

Yes.

They've all gathered.

B5 and B6 were taken out.

Under normal circumstances, we would withdraw here.

But..

We can't do that now.

We will proceed as planned.

Team B ready to go.

And, checking status.

They're asking for a status update.

I got it.

Tell them we'll send Dr. Kim to them by tomorrow.

How will he be transported?

An aircraft will be waiting at Niwa-gun to transport him.

It's known publicly as a Russian government facility but,

but Russian Intelligence (FSB) works secretly from the building.

Where is Dr. Kim?

In a special room on the 10th floor.

He's in a room guarded by four men around the clock.

The 10th floor is crawling with armed men.

There are 26 of them.

There is an emergency cell in the special room with doors that automatically lock.

It can only be opened from the inside.

And the elevator will stop and all exits will be blocked.

The rescue operation in Korea will begin.

Avoiding the guards,

the target will be 10th floor.

What is the security like in the building lobby?

There are metal detectors in place and armed guards.

Would it be possible to infiltrate the building's network system?

It's a shut-down system, so controlling it remotely will not be possible.

The connection can be made to this line.

What about the surrounding roads?

Study the surrounding roads and confirm the shortest route.

I understand.

The operation will take place tomorrow evening, 1830 hours.

We'll enter through the lobby.

I don't think we should infiltrate the building personally.

What are you thinking?

Ultimately, Dr. Kim will be extricated by either them or us.

Let's just wait until they get him.

And not shed our own blood needlessly.

One moment.

Where are you from?

Proceed with the operation.

Roof top on standby.

B-1, move out.

Hello.

I'm here to do a fire inspection.

We just have the 10th floor left to service.

You won't need to do that.

Just leave it here.

All positions in place.

Begin.

Please sign this.

Jeka!

Jeka!

What's going on?

Where?

The 9th floor.

It's done.

Go ahead and use it.

One-Zero, stand by.

I'm here from South Korea to get you.

B-4, what's going on?

Respond!

B-2,

it's an emergency situation.

Go to the front of the building!

B-2,

go to the front!

B-2,

B-2,

answer!

What's happening?

We just passed by the first floor.

I can't control it.

Dr. Kim,

don't stay there where it's so dangerous.

Why don't you come out here now?

We will escort you safely.

At the scene?

It's all been cleaned up.

We have to find him no matter what, before he can get out of Japan.

Yes, sir.

I gave him enough to kill a horse.

But he's still not talking.

Anymore could kill him.

This is very hard on you, isn't it?

You know very well that you can't overcome this.

That pain that you will never get used to.

Don't waste any more of your energy and tell us now.

Go ahead and administer it.

Where is he?

It's all over, so what more is there to think about?

We won...

and you failed at your mission.

Where is Dr. Kim Myung Guk?

I'm not sure.

I don't know what you're talking about?

You don't know?

Fine.

Let's take this to the end.

We have plenty of the drug.

One moment.

Can't you shoot me in the other arm?

I don't think my right arm can feel the affects of the drug anymore.

It's from the Headquarters.

Yes.

Did you figure out where Kim Myung Guk is yet?

No, sir.

If he doesn't start talking,

don't waste time.

Just eliminate him.

Yes sir.

What is it?

It's an order withdraw from here immediately.

What about the man in the basement?

I'll see to him.

Get everyone ready to leave.

Yes, sir.

All of you get out and get ready to leave here.

We will meet again someday.

3 years later

Just what is this place? Huh?

NTS.

What do those letters stand for?

N, me (in Korean)

T, obvious

S, bastard.

You're an obvious bastard?

I'll be the one to ask questions.
