Undercover (언더커버)

(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

- Come on in. - Okay.

- Gosh. - Are you okay, Jung-hyun?

Yes, I am.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Everyone must've left early

because it's Saturday.

So this is it.

This machine is used to make holes.

And this is called milling.

It's used to plane metal smooth.

I mostly handle it.

Well.

This is it.

Feel free to look around.

It's fascinating. This is where you work.

Isn't it interesting?

One minute.

What is that for?

It's called SS.

- SS? - Yes, SS.

Oh, it's stainless steel.

It doesn't easily get rusty. It never changes.

Watch me.

Do you want to try?

Me?

- Come here. - Well...

I'm not sure if I can do this.

Put your bag over there.

Wear these gloves.

Wait a second.

Yes.

Stand right here.

And fix it

to this.

Oh, okay. But Jung-hyun

Jung-hyun. Do you think I can do this?

I'll help you.

I'm a bit scared.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Well done.

Now we need to cool it down like this.

- Wow. - Ta-da.

It's a ring, isn't it?

Do you want to try it on?

Wow, it's very smooth.

It's fascinating.

Yeon-soo.

Yeon-soo.

Who...

Who are you?

You're not Han Jung-hyun.

Who are you?

Tell me!

Who are you?

Put that down first.

Han Jung-hyun is dead.

He died when he was seven.

His grave is in the orphanage

where you said you grew up.

- Yeon-soo. - Don't you try to fool me anymore.

I know everything now.

You tell me.

Who are you?

- I'm sorry. - That's not what I want to hear.

Answer me!

My name is...

Lee Suk-gyu.

Section chief, I'm Lee Suk-gyu.

Kim Tae-yeol is here.

Lee Suk-gyu?

Lee Suk-gyu... Who is Lee Suk-gyu?

Then what? Were they watching us at Auntie's Bar?

His name is Lee Suk-gyu.

Yeon-soo.

Yeon-soo.

Yeon-soo. Yeon-soo.

Yeon-soo.

Yeon-soo.

His name is Lee Suk-gyu,

and his undercover name was Han Jung-hyun.

He was one of the undercover agents of NIS, which was formerly ANSP.

We dispatched him to arrest Kim Tae-yeol,

the then chairman of NCSR.

To arrest Kim Tae-yeol?

Are you saying Jung-hyun was a spy?

Yes.

When did you find out about this?

We, the NIS agents, are not supposed to know each other,

or each other's missions.

I recently

looked into the death of Park Doo-sik,

who murdered Kim Tae-yeol,

and found out about Lee Suk-gyu who had long been forgotten.

Are you...

threatening me now?

I just want us to be careful.

It's not only the dark past of the NIS.

If this goes public, Director Choi Yeon-soo

can no longer be in the CIO.

It may also bring trouble to the VIP, who appointed her.

I was worried,

so I requested a meeting with you

to let you know about this.

I hope it helps.

She had stomach cramps.

She'll be fine once she gets some rest.

- I see. Thank you. - Sure.

Lee Suk-gyu.

My social security number is 680930-1257557.

An intelligence agent of ANSP, Anticommunist Investigation Unit Eight.

Entered National Police University in 1987.

Entered ANSP during the second semester of my sophomore year.

In May 1991, I got a mission.

It was to gather information

needed to arrest Kim Tae-yeol.

My job was to investigate his acquaintances,

and form relationships with them.

A spy?

You were a spy?

Wait! What's your name?

- Sorry? - I'm Choi Yeon-soo.

I'm Han Jung-hyun.

Did you approach me on purpose?

In October 1991, Lee Suk-gyu

disappeared after handing in his resignation.

No.

No, no. That can't be true.

Since then,

I've never lived as Lee Suk-gyu.

Don't lie to me.

I thought I could do that to be with you.

Yeon-soo.

Please believe me.

No.

Thank you, Jung-hyun.

I definitely have an eye for a good man.

You and our kids

are everything to me.

Shut up.

Ms. Choi Yeon-soo's husband

was one of the undercover agents of the NIS,

which was formerly ANSP.

We dispatched him to arrest Kim Tae-yeol, the then chairman of NCSR.

This investigation hasn't progressed much.

He keeps asserting that Park Won-jong is just a friend of his.

He doesn't remember about the memory chip?

Apparently, he forgets things easily just like a dementia patient.

He luckily hit the jackpot in the stock market?

He invested 20 million won and earned 100 million in two months.

Does he think we'll believe that?

Judging by the dates of their rendezvous,

I'm sure Park Won-jong gave him the information.

He obstructed the investigation, and concealed the evidence for sure.

But there's no direct evidence

that shows Park ordered him

to fabricate the Cha Min-ho case.

What do we do?

If we fail to find the link between the two.

We'll have to transfer this case

to the prosecution or the police

as corruption.

Goodness.

By the way,

Director Choi is out of the office again.

She's taking the afternoon off.

The CIO Director is her mom.

Ms. Choi's daughter is in ninth grade.

I'm sure she's very fussy.

And you're very nosy, Mr. Bae.

Why do you worry about her daughter?

Yeon-soo! Wait a second!

Hi, Mom.

Mom.

Are you okay?

Dad. What's wrong with Mom?

Mom.

Mom. Are you sick?

Don't be sick.

If the director of the CIO is sick,

everyone will be worried.

I'm fine.

Have you been overworking yourself?

Get a good sleep.

It'll refresh you.

Okay.

Seung-goo.

Let her get some rest.

Sleep tight, Mom.

What's wrong with Mom?

I'll fix you dinner quickly.

Mom and Dad have the same look on their faces.

Is Dad tired too?

I don't think that's the only reason.

Jung-hyun.

I had a strange dream.

You said you aren't Jung-hyun,

and our relationship is a complete sham.

It's not true, is it?

It can't be true.
