Episode 1

Ibu,

don't prepare anything fancy. Yes, comfortably.

Like what we eat. Just think of it as a friend of your son. How about during next weekend?

Me? Where should I be? It's Busan.

Ah, looking at the beach, my mood gets lifted.

You can hear the sound of the gulls, can't you?

I'm all done with the job. In a bit I will leave.

No, I will arrive by the KTX (Korean Train Express).

Understood, Mom.

I love you, too.

Did any big deal happen?

It's a heavy deal, what do you reckon?

Wallets

and watches, steal them. It will be disguised as robbery.

Start it!

Sun Woo.

Let him go.

Even if the organizing wouldn't work, it would be the same.

That the heating bills difference turns out like this, does that make sense?

What you're saying right now is that you're suspecting people without evidence.

You know that the words you just said could be believed in Myeonghae, right?

No. It's not like that.

From our house it turned out to be more than ₩300,000. Why isn't the heating bills difference from your house no more than ₩10,000?

That's it. - Because our house writes all the heatings down.

Absolutely, look at that glance, it could kill a person!

Well, well, well.

Since this story needs a claim, let's just listen and reveal a bit of #205's story, huh?

Okay, let's check it out.

If you look at this, on the first sheet are our villa's overall 3-4 heating bills.

Here on the second sheet are the statistics sent by the local heating corporation.

If you look at it you may know that our villa's heating bill difference is greater than that.

If you only look at the statistics, you can say there are manipulations and even when you see it, you know it's to the point of imitation.

Lady, so you're saying we tampered with the heating meters?

No, if I knew I could do that, why would I prepare my home for the technicians?

There's no need for a technician.

Because if we take out the heating meters' battery, the screen section freezes.

And so, why don't we all go around our villa and each check the batteries of our heating meters?

That must be it. - That's right.

Oh, Sun Woo, have you reached Seoul?

You haven't had dinner yet, have you?

What?

A car accident?

Which hospital is he in?

I'll be right there.

We're going to have to report this incident, so you'll have to rest for the time being.

Understand?

Yes.

Sun Woo!

Oh, Mom.

You must have been shocked.

It's nothing. You should have just stayed home.

How did this happen?

I thought something happened to you when I took the call.

Are you hurt?

How did this happen?

I just cracked my head, and injured my arm. It's nothing.

How is this nothing, when it hurts so much if you just scrape your skin?

Sun Woo,

since your mom is here, I'll go out.

You understand, right?

Good day.

Who is he?

It's our Team Leader.

He helped me getting here quickly.

Yes.

Thank you, Team Leader.

It's my first time meeting you.

Aigoo. Thank you.

You've given birth to a great son.

Thank you.

No, no.

I'll be out.

I'll see you later.

Thank you, Team Leader.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

But that person's gaze was somehow cool.

I have to, I will go.

But right now...

Oh, no.

It's not that I don't take care of Sun Woo,

but you said he wasn't hurt a lot. I'll just see him later.

I have a bid I have to do for the Ministry of National Defense.

Put Sun Woo on the phone. Let me hear his voice.

No?

Director? - I'll be right there, get ready.

Yes, that's right.

I'll go there as soon as I finish work.

Why would Sun Woo get himself hurt, only making you worried?

Did Sun Woo get hurt because he wanted to?

I understand.

When you come, if it coincides with the time Young Seo finishes her after-school classes, take her with you as well.

I'll be discharged in two days. What's with all the fuss?

The two days right after the accident are the most important.

You have to take care of your body now, so you'll get better in no time.

But where did the accident happen?

Was it in Busan?

No.

No, as I was going back to Seoul, just by the four-way intersection.

I walked to the hospital, too.

You had an accident because you were tired.

When you go to the province or overseas for business trips all the time.

When you said you wanted to become a civil servant,

I thought you wouldn't be in risk, so I was assured.

If anyone hears you, they'd think I do dangerous things for work.

Sun Woo, now that you got hurt this time, let's tell your Team Leader to move you to an office and have you work there.

Even if that looks very ordinary, the greatest happiness is when you live just like how ordinary people live.

Mom,

look into my eyes.

I will never hurt myself ever again,

and there will never be any instance that will upset you.

So you're saying you'll still keep doing business trips.

I love you, Mom.

After working for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), have you ever engaged in illegal actions or broken the law?

No, I haven't.

One week ago, the operations in Shenyang failed. Are you held accountable for that?

No.

Can I wholly trust, 100%, your allegiance to South Korea?

Yes.

That friend worked at the security base before.

Under my officers, he stood out, and after becoming a senior, for the past three years it seems that he worked as a field agent.

All the operations he's been in, most of them, not most, but all of them were successful. He's an elite agent.

After a well spent career, he finally fucked up.

But why did they not kill him?

I also thought that was strange, so I investigated once more. But as you already know, there was nothing to be suspicious of.

Their counterattacks are faster than I expected. You have to be careful.

Yes, I understand.

What are you going to do with him now?

Oh, it will be hard to send him back to the field for the time being.

I want to bring him over to be an analyst in my team.

Can a guy like him who works in the field do well in an office?

He will do well.

How about his family? - Here it is.

His father is Kim Woo Seok; and worked at the Ministry of National Defense as a computer scientist.

Currently, he's running a company specializing in IT security called Hae Chi(?) Technician.

While he was deployed to China, he met then-translator, Park Hye Rim, and they later got married.

Translator? What? Korean-Chinese?

Yes...

Now, Kim Sun Woo got his mother's skills, and can speak Chinese.

That's why I think he'll be of help to my work. I hope to bring him over.

I understand.

Watch over him carefully.

If he's someone we can use, or someone who would betray us...

Yes.

Please get back safely. - Okay.

This jerk...

Let's go first. How about a meal...?

Hey, why did that asshole return, huh?

Is this some kind of sympathy for your colleague?

He's still someone of use to us. I'll look after him well.

If that rascal causes some trouble later, it's your responsibility.

Understand? - Yes, I got it.

Ah, yes, Assemblyman.

Yes, yes. I was just about to call you, yes.

Is there anything you are hiding from us?

No.

He's an interesting guy.

Are you still solving that question?

Do you know how hard this is? As if you can solve this.

Here, look! One of the elements A and B, which have an intersection point, has an integer of only one under the condition K.

What is it? - Greather than 4...

That's right. Greater than 4, less than or equal to 5.

And so, what's the answer? The maximum number for K is 5.

Oh, how did you know? Did you guess it?

Mom, if I bring my boyfriend over, will you cook for him like that?

I'll scold both of you. Just solve other problems.

You're already in your second year of high school. How could you be worse in math than me?

Mother, you're strange.

Alright, do it. There's still some problems, and we need to do further testing.

I acknowledge that. But basing on the technology, we're still better. You must also acknowledge that.

Then, we have to find that person...

I will get back to you soon.

Okay.

Honey.

Yes, what is it?

Stop with your work, and get ready for our guest.

It's the first time Sun Woo is bringing his girlfriend over, you're going to face her like that?

What's wrong with how I look?

Sun Woo said to prepare nothing extra special, didn't he?

Honey.

I know, I know.

Yes, I will go and beautify myself.

Shave as well.

Wow...

So, this is the last question.

About 50% of agents get caught lying on this part.

It would be good if you say the truth.

Are you dating someone right now?

What?

Yes, I have a girlfriend.

It's finished, right?

After the investigation, I can go back to the field, too. Right?

You worked hard.

Ah, this is not an investigation, but an interview.

But I have an appointment, so I have to go now. I leave it in your hands.

Hey, how can you not even start and get rejected. Is this in the record?
