The Veil (검은 태양)

Stop. It's distracting.

I can't believe this.

I just heard that Chief Seo got shot.

- What? - What is she talking about?

I'm serious.

I went to the Foreign Intelligence office...

and Mr. Han told me himself.

The person who shot Chief Seo is...

Han Ji Hyuk.

What on earth are you talking about?

I'm being serious!

A security camera caught him, so he can't prove otherwise.

I don't believe this.

Ji Hyuk.

I...

Ji Hyuk.

We checked the CCTV footage of the crime scene.

I...

(Assailant: Han Ji Hyuk Victim: Seo Su Yeon)

So she has known all along.

Yes, sir. I reported what you've just seen to her.

But she didn't do anything about him.

No, sir.

Where is Deputy Commissioner Do?

She's on her way here.

So she knew Han Ji Hyuk was unstable...

but she's been ignoring it.

There must've been a good reason.

I'm sure she had an obvious reason.

Maybe she was waiting for him to remember something...

that is favorable for her.

Sir, let me carry on with the case.

I want to close the case myself.

So this was why...

you wanted to have this meeting without Deputy Commissioner Do.

Yes, sir.

Let him carry on with it, sir.

Director Kang knows Han Ji Hyuk inside out.

He's the perfect one for the job.

I apologize for being late.

Am I interrupting something?

It's all right. I've been briefed on the case.

But this is only the beginning, sir.

His motives, how he did it,

and circumstantial evidence are all unconvincing.

We have to carry out an investigation ourselves.

What are you talking about?

There's CCTV footage of him doing it.

CCTV?

What are you doing? You know better than that.

After the incident, it took less than three hours...

for the police to secure the footage.

It's unlikely that someone tampered with it.

Do you really think so?

Then can you explain why Han Ji Hyuk shot Seo Su Yeon?

You said you knew him well.

He was so unstable that he was like a ticking time bomb.

But you decided to ignore it.

Ji Hyuk is a victim in that sense.

A victim?

Then why are you here?

You should be checking on the victim first.

Am I wrong?

Deputy Commissioner Do, I know you don't want to admit it.

But this isn't something you can cover up.

The one who wants to cover it up is not me.

I think it's you.

There is someone behind this.

We have to reinvestigate.

Deputy Commissioner Do, that is enough.

Why are you standing there? Bring Han Ji Hyuk in.

I say this for your own good.

Don't try to get your hands on the case.

Ji Hyuk.

Let's go.

Stop the car.

It reminded me of that time.

When you got back from Libya.

I brought you a bowl of ox bone soup.

And you just gobbled it.

I had never seen you eating in a hurry like that.

I'm sorry, Ji Hyuk.

This is all I can do for you.

How is Su Yeon right now?

She's still unconscious.

Su Yeon always said she owed me.

She was so apologetic.

And it troubles my heart.

It feels like I'm the one who owes her.

Do everything in your power to endure it...

so that I can endure it for you.

Sir.

Why aren't you asking me anything?

Why aren't you asking me if I was the one...

who shot Su Yeon?

Eat up. It's getting cold.

One second.

Don't trust anyone.

Don't trust...

Director Kang.

Director Kang, something seems odd.

- What is? - The car behind us.

Step on it!

- What are you doing? Go after them. - Yes, sir.

Do you really think I shot Su Yeon?

Do you really?

Ji Hyuk.

I can't afford to lose you too.

That's enough.

Come with me.

You won't ask anything until the very end.

I left one bullet in here.

If you still can't trust me by the next time we meet,

please shoot my head off with this.

Stop right there.

Han Ji Hyuk!

Stop right there!

Hello?

I'm sorry to call you this late.

But I had to tell you something.

I just heard too.

By any chance,

did you hear how Ji Hyuk shot Director Kang?

Continue.

He's not in critical condition, but his shoulder was injured.

It was reported to the executive director,

and he gave them permission to shoot him.

I thought you should know, ma'am.

- Chief Ha. - Yes, ma'am.

What do you think?

Do you really think Ji Hyuk shot Director Kang?

Well...

Never mind. I just wanted to ask.

And I had a favor to ask.

Yes, please let me know.

Head over to the NFS as soon as the day breaks...

and see if the results are out on the requests we made...

through the police over this incident.

I'll do that.

Yes, ma'am.

(Silent Devotion to Protect and Bring Glory to Korea)

Will you let this go on?

There's no need...

to be so antsy.

The bigger the trouble gets, the more interesting it is...

to sit around and watch.

Anyway, we should put an end to the Jung Ki Sun case soon.

I handed it over to Chief Park already and...

That's not what I meant.

Why don't we just cover it up?

Let Jung Ki Sun go...

and destroy all related documents.

Think about what happened to Ji Hyuk.

This isn't the time for us to come forward.

And lawyers for a Democratic Party have already noticed something.

We can't do that, sir.

We worked so hard on...

This isn't the time to nitpick over such things.

This is the time to lie as low as we can.

- Here. - Okay.

Where have you been?

Come over and join us.

What are you up to?

The higher-ups told us to destroy all documents on Jung Ki Sun.

We'll bring the documents together and shred them.

And make sure you delete all related files.

Wait, why?

What do you think? They're about to close the case.

Right. Rumors say...

they'll let Reporter Jung go.

The same ones who hassled us to have her arrested.

But we have clear evidence of her on CCTV at the immigration control.

Why are they suddenly letting her go?

How would we know?

I'm sure they're onto something.

Sir.

Let's go somewhere quiet.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Elaborate, please.

Over there.

Explain to me what that room is about.

Why should I?

I heard what happened to Chief Seo.

You don't deserve an explanation from me right now.

I deserve an explanation.

Just answer my question now.

Sir.

Answer me.

My dad.

My dad was an agent too...

just like us.

He went missing on the day of my middle school graduation.

Just like you.

You and my dad went through almost identical incidents.

My dad went missing in Shenyang too...

during his mission.

I filed official requests dozens of times.

But I only received...
