Hunt (2022) Movie Script
1
This film takes place in the 1980s. Nonetheless this is a work of fiction
and any similarity to persons living or dead
agencies and institutions or actual events and cases mentioned
in the film is purely coincidental.
1983, Washington
Protests already in Los
Angeles and New York City.
Now another in Washington,
his one by local
Korean-Americans following the
summit between the
President of the United States
- Down with the dictator!
- And the President of South Korea.
The protesters are outraged
by their president's use of
No More dictatorship!
A military insurrection
to expand his authority,
- Down with the dictator!
- And undermine liberal democracy
in their home country,
Drive him out!
Resulting in the deaths
of South Korean civilians.
One sign seen in
the protests said,
"Revolution Without
Democracy is Violence".
Got it, report in as soon as
he leaves the White House!
When is the protest
being broken up?!
They have an official
permit. We can't break it up.
Stop the massacres!
Stop them! Stop them!
Look at those effigies
of the president!
Call me when the president
passes Georgia Avenue.
Chief Park!
Why don't you do something?
Get your Foreign Unit
to break up the crowd!
Want the president
to use the back door?
Why's the Domestic Unit
here breathing up our asses?
Chief Park.
Can you feel the passion
for our president out there?
What should the
tone of my article be?
Mr. Kang, a reporter
needn't worry about tone.
Come with me, I'll educate you.
They sure are opinionated
after abandoning their country.
I hear Korean students keep
demanding the withdrawal of US troops.
It's all because the president
suppressed citizens by force.
Come on, Director,
that's all in the past.
It was a just suppression.
You know why it's so
important he holds onto power?
If Korea falls,
Okinawa will too,
and our entire military
presence in the Asia-Pacific.
The existing
order will collapse.
Don't you worry.
He's amending the constitution and
the election process to retain power.
Hey, listen to channel 4.
Channel 4, 5 o'clock. Rooftop!
Respond, Channel
4, 5 o'clock. Rooftop!
Come in.
Sir, we just intercepted this.
Sir!
The CIA detected a plot to
assassinate the president!
What?
Stop the car! Now!
I think we've been
spotted, what should we do?
Can you take him out from here?
No, it's too far.
Dammit, pull out!
What's his location?
He's passing the dressing room!
Ju-kyung!
Ju-kyung!
I'm okay!
Sir!
Shut down the whole building!
Need to capture him alive!
You're done, give up!
Put the gun down!
Stay back.
Gun down!
I was just following orders!
Stay back!
Back off!
How could you kill the suspect?
You shouldn't have
been taken hostage!
Wipe off that blood.
"Hunt"
No more!
No more dictatorship!
Restore democracy!
How could they send
riot cops onto campus?
Everyone disperse!
Go home, and be careful.
Hey! Over here!
Open the gate!
Please open the gate!
The screwdriver! Pull it out!
Right there! Screwdriver!
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
My God, I didn't
know, I am so sorry!
Motherfuckers!
You think your parents
paid tuition for you to do this?
You piece of shit!
Stop hitting them!
Hey! That girl,
there. Move, you idiot!
Hey, stop!
Are you out of your
fucking mind, bitch?!
Det. Kim!
Yes, yes, of course, sir.
Yes, I understand!
Everyone out!
Watch his head.
Thank you so much, sir
Go to my place.
I'm hungry, let's go.
So I'm your father?
I didn't say you were my father.
Now you protest with
them instead of studying?
I wasn't protesting.
Sir, don't misunderstand.
Your daughter wasn't protesting,
she just opened the gate for us.
That's the truth, I
wasn't protesting at all.
Send them away,
and don't ever
hang out with them.
Yes sir, we won't hang
out with your daughter!
He's not my dad!
Tuition fee for this semester.
Stay for dinner!
Director Kang
called the meeting.
It seems he got
grilled by the president
for not finding who planned
the Washington incident.
Agents of Foreign Unit are active
in cities visited by the President,
and the Domestic Unit is questioning
delegations, to Washington especially.
Director is trying to pin
this on Prof. Shin Ki-cheol.
Why him?
He was on the Washington
delegation on an economic mission.
Director Kang says he's 'Dong
im',
the leader of an espionage cell.
Donglim?
First, name that professor
as the spy Donglim,
Link him with the assassins and
prepare a report for the president.
But the US hasn't
shared its intel with us yet,
so proving a connection
with North Korea...
Look, Chief Kim!
They knew all the president's
movements in advance!
Did you investigate the whole
delegation before the US trip?
But you call yourself the
Chief of the Domestic Unit?
This is why the President's
Office wants to disband the KCIA!
Get his confession now.
If you don't resolve
the Washington incident,
you two are done.
Yes, sir.
One more thing...
What should we do
about 417 Special Forces?
What about it?
The op begins at
midnight in 2 days.
Then stick to schedule!
It's an op with very low
chance of success, sir.
Why not use my Foreign agents
to gather intel on the nuclear threat?
You want me to scrap it now?
It's approved by the president!
Proceed!
This is the President's itinerary
for his Japan visit, sign off on it.
He's a tough nut since
he has the president's ear.
I'm still not used to this since
I spent my life in the army.
I'd appreciate your guidance.
Speaking of which.
My wife told me to invite
my colleagues for dinner,
but my home is too
tiny to invite them all.
Would you like to
join us for dinner?
Certainly.
He's ripe for picking.
Let's wrap up the Donglim case.
Bring him to Room 2.
Afternoon, sir.
You dislocated
his shoulder again?
Why keep doing that?
Your job is to break his will.
Dress him and
bring him to Room 2.
Yes, sir.
Lift him up.
Codename, Donglim.
North Korea's Ministry of the
People's Armed Forces, 5th Division,
infiltrated the South in 1970,
sociology professor at Horim...
Sir, Please...
How could I possibly be
a top North Korean spy?
I'm...
I'm not a spy, really!
The government asked to join
the delegation as a consultant...
I'm done playing nice.
The jerks who conspired
with you have all confessed.
They say you're Donglim!
Who says I am Donglim?
They are setting me up!
Sit!
You leaked the president's
itinerary to the North,
when you went to the
US with the delegation!
To assassinate him!
That's absurd!
Sir, how could I...
Restrain him!
Sir! Please don't kill me!
He's gonna kill another one...
Gangnam apartments cost
$30,000 each nowadays.
How's it possible to con $640
million without help from top officials?
How many apartments
would that buy?
This country is in a dire state.
Are you drunk already?
Go easy with the drinks.
I want to live here a long time.
I heard you two
were well acquainted.
Your husband told you that?
That you worked
with him for a bit.
Honey.
What? You said it was
awkward since it's been so long.
Awkward?
Honey, please excuse us.
We have something to discuss.
After the last
president's assassination,
all KCIA agents were detained.
He was my interrogator.
We were together 10 days or so?
The nerves in my hand got
severed, I can't still use it properly.
Sir, back then...
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I'll leave you two alone.
Yes?
Sorry to call you so late,
but I have an urgent
matter to report, sir.
Go on.
The North and Japan are having
unofficial talks on colonial reparations,
and a high-ranking
official wants to defect.
Defect? What's his prize?
A nuclear reactor blueprint,
R&D files and a list of researchers.
Good, bring him in before
Japanese intelligence clues in.
Understood, sir...
Tokyo
Hello?
Is there someone from
Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone?
Yes, this is Nisigara
from Taeyoung Corp.
Where are you now?
I can't tell you that, but
we just started moving.
Ivve?
I brought my family.
Wait, you never said
anything about your family.
State your name,
affiliation and rank.
I can't disclose that yet.
You have a mole in your agency,
our safety may be compromised.
I'll tell you in person.
Hello, sir.
The exfil route is secure,
so please identify yourself.
I just said there is a
mole in your ranks.
I'll tell you about Donglim
tomorrow when we land in the South.
There cannot be a
mole in our agency.
And Donglim has
already been captured.
If you don't believe
me, we'll drop the op.
State your name,
affiliation and rank.
Spec Ops 417 will
infiltrate the North...
- North Korea West Coast -
to gather nuclear intel today.
Donglim informed
us of it last night.
Approaching Point Gamma.
Spec Ops 417, landed.
All in position.
Commencing op.
If you can't believe
me, I'll hang up.
Understood. Give us the time
and location for rendezvous.
This is Agent Yang
Bo-sung of Foreign Unit.
417 inf ii op is
compromised, withdraw now.
What?
This is Tokyo.
We received this intel from a
North Korean asylum seeker!
All units! Return
to base at once!
- Halt op and return at once!
- Nobody move!
We took 8 of your heads!
Stop by any time!
What happened?
They've all been eliminated.
Chief, does this legitimize the
claim of a mole in the agency?
We can't rely on
unverified intel.
We will expose the truth today.
They're on the move.
Find the green
briefcase, which one is it?
The gray suit is carrying
a green briefcase.
Isn't that Director Pyo?
You're right.
He's a key player in the
nuclear development effort.
Everyone on your toes.
This op has to succeed.
One moment.
I'm changing the plan.
Agent Yang get the
family, and I'll take the prize.
I repeat, Yang go for the
family, I'll take the prize!
Chief,
if you change up now,
we'll all get crossed up.
In case of emergency, leave
the family and support me.
The prize comes first.
Initiate!
Says who, dammit!
Agent Yang, What are you doing?!
Listen up!
We are sticking
with the HQ's plan!
Stick to the original plan!
Everyone, move!
Turn the car around!
Agent Yang!
The Director said intel on
Donglim is our top priority.
Agent Yang!
Listen up everyone.
When we complete this mission,
everyone will get promoted!
Trust me on this.
Where are you going?
Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone.
Get in!
- What are you doing?!
- I'm leading this op.
Intel first, what do you
know about Donglim?
I said I'll tell you once
we arrive in South Korea.
Spec Ops 417 was
wiped out yesterday.
Intel on the mole first.
Is this the best
South Korea can do?
Open the door now!
If you don't tell me,
we'll pull out immediately.
Why isn't he letting him in?
On October 15, 1982, Osaka,
and May 11, 1983, Tokyo,
he met North Korea
35 Chief Li Yong-su.
Cross reference it with
flight logs of your agents.
We learned all your
top secrets through him,
he's Donglim.
Open the door!
Comrade Pym.!
Comrade Pym.!
Stop!
Open fire!
Chief!
The prize and Agent Yang
are trapped at the scene!
Agent Yang is shot
and stuck in his vehicle!
What should we do?
Wait, what are you doing?!
Get out! Out!
Please don't do this!
- Where's my husband?
- I'm sorry.
Please don't abandon us!
Listen to me!
Tell them our location! Hurry!
Watch out!
Come out, quick!
Agent Yang first!
Agent Yang!
Wake up, sir!
Agent Yang! Sir!
Sir! Agent Yang!
Are you really not hurt?
Director was summoned
and got his ass whipped.
Things are tense because
of the botched Pyo op.
Also, the president's Japanese
summit is confirmed, top secret.
Chief.
The intel about Donglim being
a KCIA mole, is it credible?
How can you botch every
op the president approves?
Fuck, what am I doing
with these amateurs?
Resign now, you morons!
Get the fuck out!
What do you want?
Spec Ops 417
was massacred due
to your bad judgment.
What the fuck?
And why give two conflicting
orders for the Pyo op?
You told me to retrieve him,
why give the agents other orders?
You son of a bitch!
We lost 2 agents
and Director Pyo,
and Agent Yang is
gravely wounded, in a coma.
The 417 and asylum ops,
you fucked them all up.
Are you out of your
goddamn mind?!
This is the list of all
the bribes you've taken.
Agents risk their
lives in the field,
but the KCIA Director
fattens himself on bribes.
We kept this agency
alive until you came along.
How would the
president react to this?
Take the bullet and
retire with your honor.
Won't it be wiser to keep
the money you stole thus far?
Park Pyong-ho!
How dare you investigate me?
This is a recording of you
and those businessmen.
You've got a week to clear out.
Who said anything about
revolution? We're after reform!
We can't be cornered
as left wingers!
The public won't listen to us!
When on earth can
you achieve that?
After we're all dead?
Yoo-jung, you tell
us, is he right or am I?
Speak up. Who's right?
Let's just go.
Yoo-jung, come on.
You son of a bitch!
Where you going?!
We came here to find a
solution, why are you leaving?!
Bring him over here!
Back off... Damn you...
Bastard, how could you
throw that at a friend?
Stop it! Just stop it!
Thank you, sir.
Where are you going?
I need another drink.
That's enough.
They say a dictator's pawns
are worse than the dictator.
A dictator's pawn...
I don't care what you do, but
don't hang around bad guys.
Don't make me regret
bringing you here.
Bad guys?
Who's worse?
How long have you
worked for the agency?
13 years.
The world is changing,
but it's still so stupid...
3 years ago, Tokyo
What took you so long?
A pun quiz for you.
Wars that take place in space?
"Star Wars".
A war that takes
place in the winter?
"Cold War".
What's a war that never ends?
"Korean War".
That's funny?
Laugh for once,
it's called a joke.
Practice,
you're way too serious.
I've been wanting to get
away from everything lately.
That's a great idea.
Where to though?
He's here, we're on!
I always wondered where
that beast disappeared to,
but in the end,
it's all about love.
Gotta hand it to your intuition.
Stay right behind me!
Won-sik!
PYong-ho...
I'm sorry...
Soon, somebody will replace me.
Is that Dad?
How old are you?
Yes?
- Sir, it's Ju-kyung.
- Yeah.
The newly appointed director
is head of president's secretary.
Mr. President said, if the KCIA
does not reform, it need not exist.
Our priority must be capturing
North Korean spies who provoke us.
$10,000 reward and special
promotion will be given
to any agent with
outstanding performance.
Don't kill me! I'll
do what you ask!
Stay right there.
That's enough.
Let's call it a day.
What's the matter?
We're almost there.
I said that's enough!
Let's go home.
Let the kids sleep.
A long day?
Get some sleep...
I'm assigned to KCIA
starting next week.
I'll report through CEO
Choi at Jupiter Corporation.
- Salute!
- Yes, sir.
3 years ago, Gwafigiu
The commander is approaching!
We got the green
light to open fire!
Wipe them all out!
Major Kim, it's been a while!
Congratulations
on your promotion.
Pretty cushy working
as a public servant?
How long has it been?
4 months now, sir.
It's worse than hell.
Sit!
Do you know why
the president sent me?
KCIA has gotten too soft!
Government agencies and press
must embrace his governing ethos
for him to relax,
is that so hard?
It will be done, sir.
Let's go one step at a time.
I looked over the reports.
We got a mole situation?
Donglim?
It's not verified, sir.
If major ops are failing,
there's an underlying problem.
Am I right?
What is this?
Dates when Donglim
contacted someone in Japan.
Yang relayed that intel to my
predecessor after the incident.
Cross reference it with
everyone in the Pyo op.
The Foreign Unit?
It's not my team,
how could I...?
That's why I want you to do it.
Where there's
smoke, there's fire.
Strip them naked.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Wait, right now?
Yes, sir.
Chief Kim is investigating
all agents from the Pyo op.
Must be Director Ahn's order.
Why didn't Agent Yang drive
off with Pyo after making contact?
Our West German bureau fell
for a North Korean plot last year.
Many men got fired,
so now we verify
ID and intel on site.
Donglim popped up on
our radar since mid '70s,
but he never fully surfaced.
Donglim may not even exist!
Maybe they want to throw us
off by planting the idea of a mole!
Agent Yang drew up
and led all ops in Japan.
He's the head of Japanese...
Okay, dammit! I'm Donglim!
Chief Kim is Donglim,
you're Donglim! We're all him!
You made anyone into spies,
now you suspect your own?
Check your own
unit first, assholes!
That fucking bastard.
What? What can you do?
What do you have on me?!
Agent Yang probably got
Intel about Donglim from Pyo.
He kept trying to call the former
Director before passing out.
What if Yang intentionally
sabotaged the op,
and his intel isn't credible?
Are you implying
Agent Yang is Donglim?
That's insane.
What the hell is going on?!
Who authorized this?
You have no jurisdiction!
It's an order from the director.
Donglim was part of the Pyo op?
I've worked with all these
men for at least 5 years!
We got a complaint from
Japanese Foreign Affairs.
They want us to investigate
and make an official apology.
If you don't comply, I'll put
you on top of the suspect list.
I'll report to the
director myself.
Stop this witch hunt.
Guys, come on out!
Chief!
Don't you dare!
We got an emergency!
A North Korean fighter jet has
entered the South Korean airspace!
This is the Office of Civil
Defense, attention please.
This is a security alert to
all regions includig Seoul.
This is a live situation.
A North Korean fighter jet has
entered South Korea over west coast.
He knew all about our missile
and air defense systems,
so it was easy
for him to defect.
What a joke.
All our security measures
are open to the commies.
Damn, this is amazing!
It's beyond my imagination.
I found a ramyun packaging
on a beach near the base.
I thought, so that's how noodles are
sold down South, and read the label.
I wondered if it was real.
'Damaged or expired
products can be exchanged.'
Southerners care about the convenience
of people over such a small thing.
It really is a land
of the people!
So he just took a
fighter jet and defected?
Give me a cigarette.
This is why I
can't trust soldiers.
Speaking of which...
Dates when Donglim
made contact in Japan.
Strip Chief Kim's men.
Southern cigarette
sure tastes smoother.
If that's out of your system,
let's get to the main topic.
Why'd you come here?
I came to this
land of the free...
No, not that.
Why'd you betray your country?
What?
What did you say?
Betray?
I'm a traitor?
You're just a
government ass ticker!
You son of a bitch!
Fucking bastard.
I can't fucking believe I get
called a traitor by South Koreans.
I love my country and my people.
But the current leadership
is deceiving us all.
The son inheriting the people's
party? Even a dog will laugh at that.
Will you stop making speeches?
It's the truth.
What do you want me to do then?
You know very well,
what intel would
be useful to us.
I knew you'd say that.
Pay for the ramyun, huh?
Bring me my notepad.
You probably couldn't decode recent
encrypted broadcasts or messages.
We adopted Russia's newest
cipher for added security.
This is it.
We dispatched more covert
operatives to the South for a big event.
A few will be in here too!
Use this to reel them in.
Activate 48-hour Code
3 to capture the mole.
Yes, sir, right away.
I hate stones left unturned.
Let's do this right.
This is an emergency notice.
As of 20:23 hours,
we are under Code 3
for the next 48 hours.
The director wants us to
dig into Chief Kim's men.
I'll get on it!
This is Unit Chief
Park Pyong-ho.
From now on, bring
new intel to me first.
Yes, sir.
Chief Kim wants the intel first,
and so does Chief Park...
So who do we get in line with?
Goddamn, they're at it again.
Chief Kim.
Everyone move to the
exposed spots, now!
Dead drop A, Sinjung
Mountain, 150-9.
Dead drop B, Sangbong 481-3.
Dead drop C, Hong
ye Mount am 47...
Chief Park.
Current assessment, sir.
Over here! Here!
There was a delivery mishap case
of $60,000 at police department.
And Chief Kim transferred
the investigation to our agency,
but the suspect
never arrived here.
Where was the money headed?
A military supply contractor
called Jupiter Corp.
Should I dig further?
This arrived as soon as
the president signed off on it.
So when is the president
leaving for Japan?
On the 6th next month.
What if the plan fails
again, like in Washington?
I'll take care of it myself.
The pro-democracy movement
is spreading to the general public.
If they declare martial law again,
it won't be easy for us to mobilize.
I agree with that.
Let's proceed.
The 6th next month in
Tokyo. Let's do it then.
Thanks to ongoing
support from the military,
Jupiter Corp grew exponentially
to a medium size enterprise.
Let's all raise a glass to that.
When I say 'We
are', shout 'family!'
- We are!
- Family!
Thank you, thank you.
A bicycle heading in.
Black poncho confirmed.
(Chum
He came here after taking a
package from Dead Drop D.
It's been 20 minutes,
and no contacts so far.
How many inside?
No one went in, sir.
Good, we move in immediately.
Dammit!
Get upstairs! Go!
Agent Jang!
Intelligence Bureau
225, North Korea
Chief,
Jupiter's military transactions
went up by 600% in 2 years.
Chief Kim seems closely
involved with the organization.
If we get a ledger from Jupiter
Corp, we may find something.
Also...
Kim has widened the investigation
to anyone who flew out of the country,
and in it,
he included you
as his next target.
Kim Jung-do,
that son of a bitch.
We hit Jupiter Corp today.
Arrest CEO Choi first!
Search everything!
WhO are you?!
Where are you from?
The KCIA, asshole!
Arrest this fucker.
Push through!
Burn them all!
WhO are you?!
Who the hell are you?!
Don't move!
Let go of me, asshole!
CEO Chm,
you know Chief
Kim Jung-do, right?
What? Who are you people?
You supplied the military
since 1980 with his help.
I don't know! I
don't fucking know!
A call from the
President's Office.
The Japan summit is cancelled
due to Laundry incident,
but the president's Asia
tour will proceed, sir.
This is very serious.
If something so top
secret was leaked,
it means the mole is
a high-ranking officer.
Agent Yang was in
charge of the Pyo op,
but Park tried to take
over and ruined it.
I hear he's digging
up dirt on you.
He raided a military supplier
called Jupiter Corp today,
and arrested its CEO, but
hasn't brought him here.
He may try to make it seem
like Donglim is in our unit.
Sir, we can't just
sit and watch.
We have to strike first.
Put 24/7 surveillance
on Park immediately.
Begin.
Keep going until you
hear Kim Jung-do's name.
Son of a bitch!
The president's Japan
Simmit has been cancelled.
Abort all ops.
Before that, KC
A's Chief
Park took Mr. Choi away.
I know, just stop
all active ops.
I'll take out Park Pyong-ho.
No, not Park. Take out CEO Chm.
What did you say?!
CEO Choi won't be able
to withstand the torture.
HOW dare you?!
If he blows our cover,
we'll all be in danger.
You met them too.
They were taken in 2
weeks ago, please help.
You said it was an emergency,
and ask about this petty thing?
Petty?
Their families don't know
if they're alive or dead...
Pvong-ho!
What is wrong with you?!
You know what happens
when they take you away.
If you're going to
act up, don't call me.
You two, grab the honey pot!
Name, Harada Hitomi.
From North Korea she
came through Osaka
and entered South
Korea 3 years ago,
disguised as transfer
student Cho Yoo-jung.
Her father Cho Won-sik
was Park's informant,
when he was chief of
Tokyo branch 4 years ago.
Cho is currently missing,
his family is unaccounted for.
Are you absolutely sure?
We're going up
against Park Pyong-ho.
This is our chance
to get him for sure.
Let's carve him up.
Why hide that you attended
North Korean schools in Japan?
I didn't want people to
think I was a commie.
Is that so?
All right, tell me.
Why did you hide it?
I only went there
to learn Korean,
I'm not a commie.
Fucking bitch, can
you hear yourself?
You hid it because
you're a fucking commie.
Look here.
We got you fleeing
from the scene.
The evidence we have is
enough to get you hanged.
You trained at the North Korean
Labor Party's special facility,
to become a next-gen spy,
codename Chun Bo-san.
You infiltrated through Japan
and together with other spies,
plotted to overthrow
South Korea!
Am I right?!
Kim must've lost his mind
after our raid on Jupiter.
There's no evidence that
Cho Won-sik was your father,
why do you keep insisting?
Detaining an innocent person,
and frame me for
something I didn't do is illegal.
Shit, I went too easy
on this commie bitch.
Hold her down.
Everyone out.
Now.
Everyone out.
Kim, you're investigating me?
Sir,
how deep have
you looked into her?
Cho Yoo-jung.
Who helped you transfer to
university in Korea in 1980?
The man in front of you, right?
So, you'll make her into
a spy and tie me to her?
We believe she's Chun Bo-san.
Therefore, she must
know who Donglim is.
Cho Yoo-jung,
you are Shun Bo-san.
Your mission is to pass
Donglim's intel to the North, right?
Spill it.
You dare to attack
me over Jupiter Corp?
Chief Park!
Look at the photos
in front of you!
You're here to topple
our government?
You?
If you intentionally
made contact with me,
you won't walk
out of here alive.
Even if you're not,
you won't walk free!
Why not?
You have to stay
until you confess.
That's what this place is!
Do you...
suspect me too?
How dare you bitch...
From now on, don't
answer their questions.
Endure it, no matter what.
That's the only way
I can get you out.
Chief Park...
Can you see this?
Donglim... Li Yong-su...
Change rooms immediately,
and strengthen security.
Swap out security
details to our people.
Take care of this right away.
Agent Yang woke from his coma!
Domestic Unit has
sealed off the room.
You should've
secured Yang first!
Go! Push through!
Hold them off!
Roof of opposite
building, 10 o'clock!
Get to the building!
Li Yong-su is head of the Strategic
Unit at North Korea's Labor Party 35.
He visited Osaka
on October 15, 1982,
and Tokyo on May 11, 1983.
We are cross checking
all KCIA agent flight logs.
Retired General Kim was pushed out
for not supporting the president's coup,
but Jupiter funds
were funneled to him.
He's under house arrest,
so I checked the visitor log,
and found Kim Jung-do in it.
A KCIA agent was assassinated.
While under our protection.
What the hell is going on here?
We've captured a female spy who
relayed Donglim's intel to the North.
We'll expose
Donglim soon enough.
We're tracking the finances
of a potential spy organization.
We'll reveal our findings soon.
You mean Jupiter Corp?
Chief Kim.
Didn't you serve with Jupiter's
CEO Choi in the military?
He's just a military supplier
now. I have no ties to him.
Listen you two,
if you want to survive, wrap it up
before the president's Asia tour.
You know what'll
happen if you don't.
We've obtained North Korean
Li Yong-su's flight logs to Japan.
Analysts are using 20 IBMs to
cross check, so we'll know soon.
Yes, we'll know your role, too.
Jupiter's CEO Choi
will spill everything.
How long do you think
that spy bitch will hold out?
The interrogator
can't wait to meet her.
Why'd you transfer
Yang out of his room?
The interrogator assured me
he'll get to the bottom of this.
Why move Yang and
leave him exposed?!
Don't you dare put
his death on me,
just tell me how long you
were in league with that bitch!
That girl's father was
my informant in Japan!
He died during my op and
I've been watching over her!
I don't trust your informant,
his bastard child, or even you.
I'm certain you're Donglim.
3 years ago, military coup
d'etat and 10-day citizen massacre
Hello, Mr. Kim.
Good to see you..
You stay in Seoul nowadays?
Mostly Hong Kong and Saipan.
How are you doing?
I'm just a white-collar now.
Why did you want to see me?
I have a proposal for you.
Really? If there's any way
I can help, I certainly will.
Not a favor, but a proposal.
What do you have in mind?
The thing you're about to do,
we want you to drop it.
I don't understand you.
I hear Chief Park detained
Jupiter's CEO Choi.
Leave for the States.
So long as we're aware
of it, you will not succeed.
I don't understand
what you're...
Operation Hunt Peter.
I didn't want to
report this at the office
This is a conversation between
General Kim and Chief Kim
before he started
working at the agency.
It may not sound like
much, but listen carefully.
Your house arrest
will end shortly,
and you may have to
relocate your cottage.
Is that so?
What's wrong? Don't
like the location?
The landlord suddenly
changed his mind,
I thought it'd be best to move.
Then it'll have to
be redesigned?
In a different location, the
design will have to change.
It isn't easy building
a small home.
Do I ask too much?
No, sir.
Just a few minor adjustments.
Once you complete house
arrest, the cottage will be done.
It's tough to hear it
over the music, right?
You can still hear their
conversation faintly.
So, I got the audio
techs to isolate it.
This is it.
It's important to secure
funds for extra expenses.
I told Jupiter's Choi to
come up with $500,000.
He asked for a week, I'm
sure he'll put it together.
The cottage and the design
refer to their operation.
I'm assigned to KCIA
starting next week.
Please be careful.
I'll succeed with Op Hunt Peter
in Washington no matter what.
Peter?
I had so much trouble
figuring this part out.
Peter is...
the president's Christian name.
He tried to assassinate
the president?
We can't ignore a
potential link to the North.
But something's
been bothering me.
This is the full list of KCIA
agents who flew to Japan.
Not a single agent
was present at the time
Donglim made contact with
North Korea's Li Yong-su.
Chief Kim wasn't
present on either date.
You were in Tokyo
on May 11, 1983,
but not in Osaka
on October 15, 1982.
So, I looked into anyone
with a single date match.
Also, about Cho Yoo-jung...
You don't need to worry.
I've asked the JCIA
to confirm her relation to Cho
Won-sik, it'll arrive tomorrow.
Let's see, let's see...
Fly in date is right...
October, October...
Cha Hyung-dae,
Osaka, October 15.
He has a fly in date,
but no fly out date.
Which means he's a ghost.
Wait a minute.
Cha Hyung-dae.
I made you this passport
for last year's West Berlin op...
Sir, you went to Japan
with this passport?
Jwkyung...
You're the one?
Wait a minute!
Wait, don't come any closer.
Ju-kyun9-
Stop right there!
My government has
accepted this administration.
What we want is simple.
We want order.
Forget everything, and leave.
We'll support you
and your family.
The military assault
that started on May 18th
resulted in over 3,000
civilian casualties in 10 days.
On the 21st, there was
even an attack by helicopters.
Youngest casualty
was a 11-year-old child.
A bullet passed through his
chest, and killed him instantly.
You want me to accept
the killer of my people,
and turn my back on my country?
Your proposal is very insulting.
Hello?
Sir, it's me! Chief
Park is Donglim!
He killed Agent Bang
Ju-kyung and is on the move!
- What's his current location?
- Heading towards Mapo!
I'm on my way,
have our men ready!
Yes, sir!
The president's
revised itinerary.
I need to meet the head
of the South Korean cell.
You know cells can't
meet face-to-face.
Think we're in Storm Level 1?
Who cares about
that, just make contact!
I'll hand this off in person.
People are coming out.
People are exiting the church.
And Park Pyung-ho?
Not yet, sir.
Dammit.
Follow every one of them!
Don't miss a single one!
Follow your mark.
Agent Jang.
Why are you here?
Chief Park, I'm...
You're what? Are you tailing me?
No, it's not that.
Chief!
Jeez, KCIA fuckers
sure suck at their job.
How could they go easy
on a commie like this one?
Which agency do you work for?
Don't play dumb.
Defense Security Command,
you can't weasel out this time.
Lift him up!
Call Captain Kwon
at once and free me!
You're best buds
with my captain?
Go on, give him a massage.
So? You feel like talking now?
Did Kim Jung-do send you?
You think killing me
will save Jupiter Corp?
You think I don't know
about Operation Hunt Peter?!
What's this asshole
blabbering on about?
Get a whiff of your
burning skin and die!
That college chick of
yours spilled her guts!
That you're Donglim, who's been
spying on the KCIA for 13 years!
She's on the way
here, so fess up first.
Only one of you
will get to live.
Call the KCIA now...
Lieutenant Min!
Bring the documents.
This fucker still thinks
he's a KCIA agent.
Look at it, it's
your handwriting.
"Hunt South Korea's #1"
Assassinate our president?
It's a controlled
leak, you stupid thug!
Bring him out.
Fucking commies.
State your objective!
You goddamn traitors!
You'll be punished
for high treason...
Who are you?
State your objective!
WhO are you?!
You did well, comrade Donglim.
Been a while since
your last loyalty check.
I'm chief of the Ministry
of People's Armed Forces.
Why's the MPAF
involved in this operation?
Connect me to the
United Front's Li Yong-su.
You won't hear that peace lover's
cries for negotiation ever again.
Our leader changed the plan.
Starting with Operation Flare,
we'll attack the South militarily.
Operation Flare?
That's nonsense,
an all-out-war?!
You think the US
will just stand by?
Doesn't matter, 6 hours is
all we need to take the South.
But millions will
die in those 6 hours!
Our original plan to negotiate
after killing their
president is most practical!
Reunification is
the party's goal, no?!
Do not spoil the plan
for peaceful revolution
Comrade.
Peaceful reunification
is an illusion.
Your mission from now is
to assist in the assassination.
By accompanying the
president on his Asian tour.
I cannot agree to that!
You think I stayed alive
this long just to start a war?!
Having some intel
makes you better than us?!
How dare you disobey an order!
I can't agree to a war!
This will destroy all of us...
Get the rifles!
Back door! Back door!
Go after him!
You two, go upstairs!
Free Chief Park!
Donglim has been killed.
CEO Chm...
Where is he now?
The director wants CEO Choi's
confession today, whatever it takes.
WhO are you?!
CEO Chm.
What exactly is Jupiter Corp?
Who are you in league with?
All right, fine.
You really want
to go all the way?
Spill it.
Who's involved and
what's their end goal.
If you don't tell us, you die.
Very well.
That's what I wanted.
Give me your best shot.
Sir, if we go any
higher he could die.
Status on CEO Chm'?
He was a soldier to the end.
But the hunt of
Peter is possible.
North Korea has a plan in motion
to assassinate the president on
October 11th at 10 AM in Bangkok.
What? North Koreans?
We obtained this intel at
a raid we conducted today.
Once they successfully
assassinate the president,
we can initiate
Operation New World.
You want to carry out a
joint op with the North?
That's preposterous.
How is that a revolution?
It has to be justified.
We'll hold hands with commies?
This is not a revolution!
It's about stopping the
violence against our people.
That's our justification.
I'm flying out to
Bangkok tomorrow.
Go as far South as possible.
Take the first bus to Namhae.
In Namhae, there's a
temple called Boriam.
Go there.
It should be safe there.
What's going on?
No matter what happens in
South Korea, stay at the temple.
What's happening?
Bangkok
Reunification is at
the tip of our barrels.
We'll celebrate our Grand
Marshal upon reunification.
The party has initiated
Operation Flare.
It'll ignite on verse 1, last line
of the South Korean anthem.
For our party and our country!
To our Grand Marshal!
To our Grand Marshal!
To our Grand Marshal!
Main gate, sitrep.
All in order, sir.
Report when you see the
motorcade approaching.
Yes, sir!
Why did you let me walk?
You know who I am.
You know what I'm trying to do.
How long can you fight
violence with violence?
You think the world will change
by removing one dictator?
You've seen how this
dictatorship evolved.
It's time to end it.
Once the president arrives,
when does the anthem begin?
Yes, sir.
It'll start once they
pass the memorial.
Once he's assassinated,
the invasion begins.
That's North Korea's plan.
Reunification by force?
Are you still fooled by
such political theater?
What do you want from me?
Our goals are the same,
we can join up temporarily.
And then?
After that?
This is the main gate.
The director, ministers,
and reporters are heading in.
Rogen
No mistakes.
Good work, gents.
Let's all have a
drink after this is over.
Let's go inside.
Main gate, sitrep! Has
the president arrived?
Main gate!
Go confirm!
It's not the president! It's
Korean Ambassador to Thailand!
Stop the anthem!
Stop the anthem!
Stop! Stop it!
Stop!
The escort made you
look like the president.
He will be arriving shortly.
- I see.
- Let's go inside.
I'll send you wherever
you want to go.
When it's all over.
Chief Kim, come say hello.
You've done a marvelous job.
Reunification at last.
He'll be a great support
back home in the future.
Comrade, with Operation Flare,
South Korea will be destroyed.
This is the main gate, the
president is passing through.
The party and our country
are watching you today.
Good luck to you.
North Korean spy...
It's a sniper!
Stop the anthem!
Stop the anthem!
What's going on?!
Stop!
Stop!
Sniper!
Chief Kim, go
rescue the president!
What are you doing?!
Go rescue him!
Why should I rescue him?!
Stop it! No!
Stop!
Lower your gun. Don't do this.
Stop! Everyone stop!
You're sentenced to death for usurping
power and murdering our people.
Chief Kim!
Chief Kim!
Bring the car over!
Bring the car! Get
the car over here!
Mr. President! Are you okay?!
Drive!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Why?
Why did you do it?!
Hold still,
you can survive this.
Did you want to live?
One moment.
Release her. And
give this to her.
Uncuff her.
Pull out.
My mission was to watch you.
Soon, someone else will come.
Yooqungn.
You can live a different life.
This film takes place in the 1980s. Nonetheless this is a work of fiction
and any similarity to persons living or dead
agencies and institutions or actual events and cases mentioned
in the film is purely coincidental.
1983, Washington
Protests already in Los
Angeles and New York City.
Now another in Washington,
his one by local
Korean-Americans following the
summit between the
President of the United States
- Down with the dictator!
- And the President of South Korea.
The protesters are outraged
by their president's use of
No More dictatorship!
A military insurrection
to expand his authority,
- Down with the dictator!
- And undermine liberal democracy
in their home country,
Drive him out!
Resulting in the deaths
of South Korean civilians.
One sign seen in
the protests said,
"Revolution Without
Democracy is Violence".
Got it, report in as soon as
he leaves the White House!
When is the protest
being broken up?!
They have an official
permit. We can't break it up.
Stop the massacres!
Stop them! Stop them!
Look at those effigies
of the president!
Call me when the president
passes Georgia Avenue.
Chief Park!
Why don't you do something?
Get your Foreign Unit
to break up the crowd!
Want the president
to use the back door?
Why's the Domestic Unit
here breathing up our asses?
Chief Park.
Can you feel the passion
for our president out there?
What should the
tone of my article be?
Mr. Kang, a reporter
needn't worry about tone.
Come with me, I'll educate you.
They sure are opinionated
after abandoning their country.
I hear Korean students keep
demanding the withdrawal of US troops.
It's all because the president
suppressed citizens by force.
Come on, Director,
that's all in the past.
It was a just suppression.
You know why it's so
important he holds onto power?
If Korea falls,
Okinawa will too,
and our entire military
presence in the Asia-Pacific.
The existing
order will collapse.
Don't you worry.
He's amending the constitution and
the election process to retain power.
Hey, listen to channel 4.
Channel 4, 5 o'clock. Rooftop!
Respond, Channel
4, 5 o'clock. Rooftop!
Come in.
Sir, we just intercepted this.
Sir!
The CIA detected a plot to
assassinate the president!
What?
Stop the car! Now!
I think we've been
spotted, what should we do?
Can you take him out from here?
No, it's too far.
Dammit, pull out!
What's his location?
He's passing the dressing room!
Ju-kyung!
Ju-kyung!
I'm okay!
Sir!
Shut down the whole building!
Need to capture him alive!
You're done, give up!
Put the gun down!
Stay back.
Gun down!
I was just following orders!
Stay back!
Back off!
How could you kill the suspect?
You shouldn't have
been taken hostage!
Wipe off that blood.
"Hunt"
No more!
No more dictatorship!
Restore democracy!
How could they send
riot cops onto campus?
Everyone disperse!
Go home, and be careful.
Hey! Over here!
Open the gate!
Please open the gate!
The screwdriver! Pull it out!
Right there! Screwdriver!
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
My God, I didn't
know, I am so sorry!
Motherfuckers!
You think your parents
paid tuition for you to do this?
You piece of shit!
Stop hitting them!
Hey! That girl,
there. Move, you idiot!
Hey, stop!
Are you out of your
fucking mind, bitch?!
Det. Kim!
Yes, yes, of course, sir.
Yes, I understand!
Everyone out!
Watch his head.
Thank you so much, sir
Go to my place.
I'm hungry, let's go.
So I'm your father?
I didn't say you were my father.
Now you protest with
them instead of studying?
I wasn't protesting.
Sir, don't misunderstand.
Your daughter wasn't protesting,
she just opened the gate for us.
That's the truth, I
wasn't protesting at all.
Send them away,
and don't ever
hang out with them.
Yes sir, we won't hang
out with your daughter!
He's not my dad!
Tuition fee for this semester.
Stay for dinner!
Director Kang
called the meeting.
It seems he got
grilled by the president
for not finding who planned
the Washington incident.
Agents of Foreign Unit are active
in cities visited by the President,
and the Domestic Unit is questioning
delegations, to Washington especially.
Director is trying to pin
this on Prof. Shin Ki-cheol.
Why him?
He was on the Washington
delegation on an economic mission.
Director Kang says he's 'Dong
im',
the leader of an espionage cell.
Donglim?
First, name that professor
as the spy Donglim,
Link him with the assassins and
prepare a report for the president.
But the US hasn't
shared its intel with us yet,
so proving a connection
with North Korea...
Look, Chief Kim!
They knew all the president's
movements in advance!
Did you investigate the whole
delegation before the US trip?
But you call yourself the
Chief of the Domestic Unit?
This is why the President's
Office wants to disband the KCIA!
Get his confession now.
If you don't resolve
the Washington incident,
you two are done.
Yes, sir.
One more thing...
What should we do
about 417 Special Forces?
What about it?
The op begins at
midnight in 2 days.
Then stick to schedule!
It's an op with very low
chance of success, sir.
Why not use my Foreign agents
to gather intel on the nuclear threat?
You want me to scrap it now?
It's approved by the president!
Proceed!
This is the President's itinerary
for his Japan visit, sign off on it.
He's a tough nut since
he has the president's ear.
I'm still not used to this since
I spent my life in the army.
I'd appreciate your guidance.
Speaking of which.
My wife told me to invite
my colleagues for dinner,
but my home is too
tiny to invite them all.
Would you like to
join us for dinner?
Certainly.
He's ripe for picking.
Let's wrap up the Donglim case.
Bring him to Room 2.
Afternoon, sir.
You dislocated
his shoulder again?
Why keep doing that?
Your job is to break his will.
Dress him and
bring him to Room 2.
Yes, sir.
Lift him up.
Codename, Donglim.
North Korea's Ministry of the
People's Armed Forces, 5th Division,
infiltrated the South in 1970,
sociology professor at Horim...
Sir, Please...
How could I possibly be
a top North Korean spy?
I'm...
I'm not a spy, really!
The government asked to join
the delegation as a consultant...
I'm done playing nice.
The jerks who conspired
with you have all confessed.
They say you're Donglim!
Who says I am Donglim?
They are setting me up!
Sit!
You leaked the president's
itinerary to the North,
when you went to the
US with the delegation!
To assassinate him!
That's absurd!
Sir, how could I...
Restrain him!
Sir! Please don't kill me!
He's gonna kill another one...
Gangnam apartments cost
$30,000 each nowadays.
How's it possible to con $640
million without help from top officials?
How many apartments
would that buy?
This country is in a dire state.
Are you drunk already?
Go easy with the drinks.
I want to live here a long time.
I heard you two
were well acquainted.
Your husband told you that?
That you worked
with him for a bit.
Honey.
What? You said it was
awkward since it's been so long.
Awkward?
Honey, please excuse us.
We have something to discuss.
After the last
president's assassination,
all KCIA agents were detained.
He was my interrogator.
We were together 10 days or so?
The nerves in my hand got
severed, I can't still use it properly.
Sir, back then...
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I'll leave you two alone.
Yes?
Sorry to call you so late,
but I have an urgent
matter to report, sir.
Go on.
The North and Japan are having
unofficial talks on colonial reparations,
and a high-ranking
official wants to defect.
Defect? What's his prize?
A nuclear reactor blueprint,
R&D files and a list of researchers.
Good, bring him in before
Japanese intelligence clues in.
Understood, sir...
Tokyo
Hello?
Is there someone from
Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone?
Yes, this is Nisigara
from Taeyoung Corp.
Where are you now?
I can't tell you that, but
we just started moving.
Ivve?
I brought my family.
Wait, you never said
anything about your family.
State your name,
affiliation and rank.
I can't disclose that yet.
You have a mole in your agency,
our safety may be compromised.
I'll tell you in person.
Hello, sir.
The exfil route is secure,
so please identify yourself.
I just said there is a
mole in your ranks.
I'll tell you about Donglim
tomorrow when we land in the South.
There cannot be a
mole in our agency.
And Donglim has
already been captured.
If you don't believe
me, we'll drop the op.
State your name,
affiliation and rank.
Spec Ops 417 will
infiltrate the North...
- North Korea West Coast -
to gather nuclear intel today.
Donglim informed
us of it last night.
Approaching Point Gamma.
Spec Ops 417, landed.
All in position.
Commencing op.
If you can't believe
me, I'll hang up.
Understood. Give us the time
and location for rendezvous.
This is Agent Yang
Bo-sung of Foreign Unit.
417 inf ii op is
compromised, withdraw now.
What?
This is Tokyo.
We received this intel from a
North Korean asylum seeker!
All units! Return
to base at once!
- Halt op and return at once!
- Nobody move!
We took 8 of your heads!
Stop by any time!
What happened?
They've all been eliminated.
Chief, does this legitimize the
claim of a mole in the agency?
We can't rely on
unverified intel.
We will expose the truth today.
They're on the move.
Find the green
briefcase, which one is it?
The gray suit is carrying
a green briefcase.
Isn't that Director Pyo?
You're right.
He's a key player in the
nuclear development effort.
Everyone on your toes.
This op has to succeed.
One moment.
I'm changing the plan.
Agent Yang get the
family, and I'll take the prize.
I repeat, Yang go for the
family, I'll take the prize!
Chief,
if you change up now,
we'll all get crossed up.
In case of emergency, leave
the family and support me.
The prize comes first.
Initiate!
Says who, dammit!
Agent Yang, What are you doing?!
Listen up!
We are sticking
with the HQ's plan!
Stick to the original plan!
Everyone, move!
Turn the car around!
Agent Yang!
The Director said intel on
Donglim is our top priority.
Agent Yang!
Listen up everyone.
When we complete this mission,
everyone will get promoted!
Trust me on this.
Where are you going?
Taeyoung Corp. in Hakone.
Get in!
- What are you doing?!
- I'm leading this op.
Intel first, what do you
know about Donglim?
I said I'll tell you once
we arrive in South Korea.
Spec Ops 417 was
wiped out yesterday.
Intel on the mole first.
Is this the best
South Korea can do?
Open the door now!
If you don't tell me,
we'll pull out immediately.
Why isn't he letting him in?
On October 15, 1982, Osaka,
and May 11, 1983, Tokyo,
he met North Korea
35 Chief Li Yong-su.
Cross reference it with
flight logs of your agents.
We learned all your
top secrets through him,
he's Donglim.
Open the door!
Comrade Pym.!
Comrade Pym.!
Stop!
Open fire!
Chief!
The prize and Agent Yang
are trapped at the scene!
Agent Yang is shot
and stuck in his vehicle!
What should we do?
Wait, what are you doing?!
Get out! Out!
Please don't do this!
- Where's my husband?
- I'm sorry.
Please don't abandon us!
Listen to me!
Tell them our location! Hurry!
Watch out!
Come out, quick!
Agent Yang first!
Agent Yang!
Wake up, sir!
Agent Yang! Sir!
Sir! Agent Yang!
Are you really not hurt?
Director was summoned
and got his ass whipped.
Things are tense because
of the botched Pyo op.
Also, the president's Japanese
summit is confirmed, top secret.
Chief.
The intel about Donglim being
a KCIA mole, is it credible?
How can you botch every
op the president approves?
Fuck, what am I doing
with these amateurs?
Resign now, you morons!
Get the fuck out!
What do you want?
Spec Ops 417
was massacred due
to your bad judgment.
What the fuck?
And why give two conflicting
orders for the Pyo op?
You told me to retrieve him,
why give the agents other orders?
You son of a bitch!
We lost 2 agents
and Director Pyo,
and Agent Yang is
gravely wounded, in a coma.
The 417 and asylum ops,
you fucked them all up.
Are you out of your
goddamn mind?!
This is the list of all
the bribes you've taken.
Agents risk their
lives in the field,
but the KCIA Director
fattens himself on bribes.
We kept this agency
alive until you came along.
How would the
president react to this?
Take the bullet and
retire with your honor.
Won't it be wiser to keep
the money you stole thus far?
Park Pyong-ho!
How dare you investigate me?
This is a recording of you
and those businessmen.
You've got a week to clear out.
Who said anything about
revolution? We're after reform!
We can't be cornered
as left wingers!
The public won't listen to us!
When on earth can
you achieve that?
After we're all dead?
Yoo-jung, you tell
us, is he right or am I?
Speak up. Who's right?
Let's just go.
Yoo-jung, come on.
You son of a bitch!
Where you going?!
We came here to find a
solution, why are you leaving?!
Bring him over here!
Back off... Damn you...
Bastard, how could you
throw that at a friend?
Stop it! Just stop it!
Thank you, sir.
Where are you going?
I need another drink.
That's enough.
They say a dictator's pawns
are worse than the dictator.
A dictator's pawn...
I don't care what you do, but
don't hang around bad guys.
Don't make me regret
bringing you here.
Bad guys?
Who's worse?
How long have you
worked for the agency?
13 years.
The world is changing,
but it's still so stupid...
3 years ago, Tokyo
What took you so long?
A pun quiz for you.
Wars that take place in space?
"Star Wars".
A war that takes
place in the winter?
"Cold War".
What's a war that never ends?
"Korean War".
That's funny?
Laugh for once,
it's called a joke.
Practice,
you're way too serious.
I've been wanting to get
away from everything lately.
That's a great idea.
Where to though?
He's here, we're on!
I always wondered where
that beast disappeared to,
but in the end,
it's all about love.
Gotta hand it to your intuition.
Stay right behind me!
Won-sik!
PYong-ho...
I'm sorry...
Soon, somebody will replace me.
Is that Dad?
How old are you?
Yes?
- Sir, it's Ju-kyung.
- Yeah.
The newly appointed director
is head of president's secretary.
Mr. President said, if the KCIA
does not reform, it need not exist.
Our priority must be capturing
North Korean spies who provoke us.
$10,000 reward and special
promotion will be given
to any agent with
outstanding performance.
Don't kill me! I'll
do what you ask!
Stay right there.
That's enough.
Let's call it a day.
What's the matter?
We're almost there.
I said that's enough!
Let's go home.
Let the kids sleep.
A long day?
Get some sleep...
I'm assigned to KCIA
starting next week.
I'll report through CEO
Choi at Jupiter Corporation.
- Salute!
- Yes, sir.
3 years ago, Gwafigiu
The commander is approaching!
We got the green
light to open fire!
Wipe them all out!
Major Kim, it's been a while!
Congratulations
on your promotion.
Pretty cushy working
as a public servant?
How long has it been?
4 months now, sir.
It's worse than hell.
Sit!
Do you know why
the president sent me?
KCIA has gotten too soft!
Government agencies and press
must embrace his governing ethos
for him to relax,
is that so hard?
It will be done, sir.
Let's go one step at a time.
I looked over the reports.
We got a mole situation?
Donglim?
It's not verified, sir.
If major ops are failing,
there's an underlying problem.
Am I right?
What is this?
Dates when Donglim
contacted someone in Japan.
Yang relayed that intel to my
predecessor after the incident.
Cross reference it with
everyone in the Pyo op.
The Foreign Unit?
It's not my team,
how could I...?
That's why I want you to do it.
Where there's
smoke, there's fire.
Strip them naked.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Wait, right now?
Yes, sir.
Chief Kim is investigating
all agents from the Pyo op.
Must be Director Ahn's order.
Why didn't Agent Yang drive
off with Pyo after making contact?
Our West German bureau fell
for a North Korean plot last year.
Many men got fired,
so now we verify
ID and intel on site.
Donglim popped up on
our radar since mid '70s,
but he never fully surfaced.
Donglim may not even exist!
Maybe they want to throw us
off by planting the idea of a mole!
Agent Yang drew up
and led all ops in Japan.
He's the head of Japanese...
Okay, dammit! I'm Donglim!
Chief Kim is Donglim,
you're Donglim! We're all him!
You made anyone into spies,
now you suspect your own?
Check your own
unit first, assholes!
That fucking bastard.
What? What can you do?
What do you have on me?!
Agent Yang probably got
Intel about Donglim from Pyo.
He kept trying to call the former
Director before passing out.
What if Yang intentionally
sabotaged the op,
and his intel isn't credible?
Are you implying
Agent Yang is Donglim?
That's insane.
What the hell is going on?!
Who authorized this?
You have no jurisdiction!
It's an order from the director.
Donglim was part of the Pyo op?
I've worked with all these
men for at least 5 years!
We got a complaint from
Japanese Foreign Affairs.
They want us to investigate
and make an official apology.
If you don't comply, I'll put
you on top of the suspect list.
I'll report to the
director myself.
Stop this witch hunt.
Guys, come on out!
Chief!
Don't you dare!
We got an emergency!
A North Korean fighter jet has
entered the South Korean airspace!
This is the Office of Civil
Defense, attention please.
This is a security alert to
all regions includig Seoul.
This is a live situation.
A North Korean fighter jet has
entered South Korea over west coast.
He knew all about our missile
and air defense systems,
so it was easy
for him to defect.
What a joke.
All our security measures
are open to the commies.
Damn, this is amazing!
It's beyond my imagination.
I found a ramyun packaging
on a beach near the base.
I thought, so that's how noodles are
sold down South, and read the label.
I wondered if it was real.
'Damaged or expired
products can be exchanged.'
Southerners care about the convenience
of people over such a small thing.
It really is a land
of the people!
So he just took a
fighter jet and defected?
Give me a cigarette.
This is why I
can't trust soldiers.
Speaking of which...
Dates when Donglim
made contact in Japan.
Strip Chief Kim's men.
Southern cigarette
sure tastes smoother.
If that's out of your system,
let's get to the main topic.
Why'd you come here?
I came to this
land of the free...
No, not that.
Why'd you betray your country?
What?
What did you say?
Betray?
I'm a traitor?
You're just a
government ass ticker!
You son of a bitch!
Fucking bastard.
I can't fucking believe I get
called a traitor by South Koreans.
I love my country and my people.
But the current leadership
is deceiving us all.
The son inheriting the people's
party? Even a dog will laugh at that.
Will you stop making speeches?
It's the truth.
What do you want me to do then?
You know very well,
what intel would
be useful to us.
I knew you'd say that.
Pay for the ramyun, huh?
Bring me my notepad.
You probably couldn't decode recent
encrypted broadcasts or messages.
We adopted Russia's newest
cipher for added security.
This is it.
We dispatched more covert
operatives to the South for a big event.
A few will be in here too!
Use this to reel them in.
Activate 48-hour Code
3 to capture the mole.
Yes, sir, right away.
I hate stones left unturned.
Let's do this right.
This is an emergency notice.
As of 20:23 hours,
we are under Code 3
for the next 48 hours.
The director wants us to
dig into Chief Kim's men.
I'll get on it!
This is Unit Chief
Park Pyong-ho.
From now on, bring
new intel to me first.
Yes, sir.
Chief Kim wants the intel first,
and so does Chief Park...
So who do we get in line with?
Goddamn, they're at it again.
Chief Kim.
Everyone move to the
exposed spots, now!
Dead drop A, Sinjung
Mountain, 150-9.
Dead drop B, Sangbong 481-3.
Dead drop C, Hong
ye Mount am 47...
Chief Park.
Current assessment, sir.
Over here! Here!
There was a delivery mishap case
of $60,000 at police department.
And Chief Kim transferred
the investigation to our agency,
but the suspect
never arrived here.
Where was the money headed?
A military supply contractor
called Jupiter Corp.
Should I dig further?
This arrived as soon as
the president signed off on it.
So when is the president
leaving for Japan?
On the 6th next month.
What if the plan fails
again, like in Washington?
I'll take care of it myself.
The pro-democracy movement
is spreading to the general public.
If they declare martial law again,
it won't be easy for us to mobilize.
I agree with that.
Let's proceed.
The 6th next month in
Tokyo. Let's do it then.
Thanks to ongoing
support from the military,
Jupiter Corp grew exponentially
to a medium size enterprise.
Let's all raise a glass to that.
When I say 'We
are', shout 'family!'
- We are!
- Family!
Thank you, thank you.
A bicycle heading in.
Black poncho confirmed.
(Chum
He came here after taking a
package from Dead Drop D.
It's been 20 minutes,
and no contacts so far.
How many inside?
No one went in, sir.
Good, we move in immediately.
Dammit!
Get upstairs! Go!
Agent Jang!
Intelligence Bureau
225, North Korea
Chief,
Jupiter's military transactions
went up by 600% in 2 years.
Chief Kim seems closely
involved with the organization.
If we get a ledger from Jupiter
Corp, we may find something.
Also...
Kim has widened the investigation
to anyone who flew out of the country,
and in it,
he included you
as his next target.
Kim Jung-do,
that son of a bitch.
We hit Jupiter Corp today.
Arrest CEO Choi first!
Search everything!
WhO are you?!
Where are you from?
The KCIA, asshole!
Arrest this fucker.
Push through!
Burn them all!
WhO are you?!
Who the hell are you?!
Don't move!
Let go of me, asshole!
CEO Chm,
you know Chief
Kim Jung-do, right?
What? Who are you people?
You supplied the military
since 1980 with his help.
I don't know! I
don't fucking know!
A call from the
President's Office.
The Japan summit is cancelled
due to Laundry incident,
but the president's Asia
tour will proceed, sir.
This is very serious.
If something so top
secret was leaked,
it means the mole is
a high-ranking officer.
Agent Yang was in
charge of the Pyo op,
but Park tried to take
over and ruined it.
I hear he's digging
up dirt on you.
He raided a military supplier
called Jupiter Corp today,
and arrested its CEO, but
hasn't brought him here.
He may try to make it seem
like Donglim is in our unit.
Sir, we can't just
sit and watch.
We have to strike first.
Put 24/7 surveillance
on Park immediately.
Begin.
Keep going until you
hear Kim Jung-do's name.
Son of a bitch!
The president's Japan
Simmit has been cancelled.
Abort all ops.
Before that, KC
A's Chief
Park took Mr. Choi away.
I know, just stop
all active ops.
I'll take out Park Pyong-ho.
No, not Park. Take out CEO Chm.
What did you say?!
CEO Choi won't be able
to withstand the torture.
HOW dare you?!
If he blows our cover,
we'll all be in danger.
You met them too.
They were taken in 2
weeks ago, please help.
You said it was an emergency,
and ask about this petty thing?
Petty?
Their families don't know
if they're alive or dead...
Pvong-ho!
What is wrong with you?!
You know what happens
when they take you away.
If you're going to
act up, don't call me.
You two, grab the honey pot!
Name, Harada Hitomi.
From North Korea she
came through Osaka
and entered South
Korea 3 years ago,
disguised as transfer
student Cho Yoo-jung.
Her father Cho Won-sik
was Park's informant,
when he was chief of
Tokyo branch 4 years ago.
Cho is currently missing,
his family is unaccounted for.
Are you absolutely sure?
We're going up
against Park Pyong-ho.
This is our chance
to get him for sure.
Let's carve him up.
Why hide that you attended
North Korean schools in Japan?
I didn't want people to
think I was a commie.
Is that so?
All right, tell me.
Why did you hide it?
I only went there
to learn Korean,
I'm not a commie.
Fucking bitch, can
you hear yourself?
You hid it because
you're a fucking commie.
Look here.
We got you fleeing
from the scene.
The evidence we have is
enough to get you hanged.
You trained at the North Korean
Labor Party's special facility,
to become a next-gen spy,
codename Chun Bo-san.
You infiltrated through Japan
and together with other spies,
plotted to overthrow
South Korea!
Am I right?!
Kim must've lost his mind
after our raid on Jupiter.
There's no evidence that
Cho Won-sik was your father,
why do you keep insisting?
Detaining an innocent person,
and frame me for
something I didn't do is illegal.
Shit, I went too easy
on this commie bitch.
Hold her down.
Everyone out.
Now.
Everyone out.
Kim, you're investigating me?
Sir,
how deep have
you looked into her?
Cho Yoo-jung.
Who helped you transfer to
university in Korea in 1980?
The man in front of you, right?
So, you'll make her into
a spy and tie me to her?
We believe she's Chun Bo-san.
Therefore, she must
know who Donglim is.
Cho Yoo-jung,
you are Shun Bo-san.
Your mission is to pass
Donglim's intel to the North, right?
Spill it.
You dare to attack
me over Jupiter Corp?
Chief Park!
Look at the photos
in front of you!
You're here to topple
our government?
You?
If you intentionally
made contact with me,
you won't walk
out of here alive.
Even if you're not,
you won't walk free!
Why not?
You have to stay
until you confess.
That's what this place is!
Do you...
suspect me too?
How dare you bitch...
From now on, don't
answer their questions.
Endure it, no matter what.
That's the only way
I can get you out.
Chief Park...
Can you see this?
Donglim... Li Yong-su...
Change rooms immediately,
and strengthen security.
Swap out security
details to our people.
Take care of this right away.
Agent Yang woke from his coma!
Domestic Unit has
sealed off the room.
You should've
secured Yang first!
Go! Push through!
Hold them off!
Roof of opposite
building, 10 o'clock!
Get to the building!
Li Yong-su is head of the Strategic
Unit at North Korea's Labor Party 35.
He visited Osaka
on October 15, 1982,
and Tokyo on May 11, 1983.
We are cross checking
all KCIA agent flight logs.
Retired General Kim was pushed out
for not supporting the president's coup,
but Jupiter funds
were funneled to him.
He's under house arrest,
so I checked the visitor log,
and found Kim Jung-do in it.
A KCIA agent was assassinated.
While under our protection.
What the hell is going on here?
We've captured a female spy who
relayed Donglim's intel to the North.
We'll expose
Donglim soon enough.
We're tracking the finances
of a potential spy organization.
We'll reveal our findings soon.
You mean Jupiter Corp?
Chief Kim.
Didn't you serve with Jupiter's
CEO Choi in the military?
He's just a military supplier
now. I have no ties to him.
Listen you two,
if you want to survive, wrap it up
before the president's Asia tour.
You know what'll
happen if you don't.
We've obtained North Korean
Li Yong-su's flight logs to Japan.
Analysts are using 20 IBMs to
cross check, so we'll know soon.
Yes, we'll know your role, too.
Jupiter's CEO Choi
will spill everything.
How long do you think
that spy bitch will hold out?
The interrogator
can't wait to meet her.
Why'd you transfer
Yang out of his room?
The interrogator assured me
he'll get to the bottom of this.
Why move Yang and
leave him exposed?!
Don't you dare put
his death on me,
just tell me how long you
were in league with that bitch!
That girl's father was
my informant in Japan!
He died during my op and
I've been watching over her!
I don't trust your informant,
his bastard child, or even you.
I'm certain you're Donglim.
3 years ago, military coup
d'etat and 10-day citizen massacre
Hello, Mr. Kim.
Good to see you..
You stay in Seoul nowadays?
Mostly Hong Kong and Saipan.
How are you doing?
I'm just a white-collar now.
Why did you want to see me?
I have a proposal for you.
Really? If there's any way
I can help, I certainly will.
Not a favor, but a proposal.
What do you have in mind?
The thing you're about to do,
we want you to drop it.
I don't understand you.
I hear Chief Park detained
Jupiter's CEO Choi.
Leave for the States.
So long as we're aware
of it, you will not succeed.
I don't understand
what you're...
Operation Hunt Peter.
I didn't want to
report this at the office
This is a conversation between
General Kim and Chief Kim
before he started
working at the agency.
It may not sound like
much, but listen carefully.
Your house arrest
will end shortly,
and you may have to
relocate your cottage.
Is that so?
What's wrong? Don't
like the location?
The landlord suddenly
changed his mind,
I thought it'd be best to move.
Then it'll have to
be redesigned?
In a different location, the
design will have to change.
It isn't easy building
a small home.
Do I ask too much?
No, sir.
Just a few minor adjustments.
Once you complete house
arrest, the cottage will be done.
It's tough to hear it
over the music, right?
You can still hear their
conversation faintly.
So, I got the audio
techs to isolate it.
This is it.
It's important to secure
funds for extra expenses.
I told Jupiter's Choi to
come up with $500,000.
He asked for a week, I'm
sure he'll put it together.
The cottage and the design
refer to their operation.
I'm assigned to KCIA
starting next week.
Please be careful.
I'll succeed with Op Hunt Peter
in Washington no matter what.
Peter?
I had so much trouble
figuring this part out.
Peter is...
the president's Christian name.
He tried to assassinate
the president?
We can't ignore a
potential link to the North.
But something's
been bothering me.
This is the full list of KCIA
agents who flew to Japan.
Not a single agent
was present at the time
Donglim made contact with
North Korea's Li Yong-su.
Chief Kim wasn't
present on either date.
You were in Tokyo
on May 11, 1983,
but not in Osaka
on October 15, 1982.
So, I looked into anyone
with a single date match.
Also, about Cho Yoo-jung...
You don't need to worry.
I've asked the JCIA
to confirm her relation to Cho
Won-sik, it'll arrive tomorrow.
Let's see, let's see...
Fly in date is right...
October, October...
Cha Hyung-dae,
Osaka, October 15.
He has a fly in date,
but no fly out date.
Which means he's a ghost.
Wait a minute.
Cha Hyung-dae.
I made you this passport
for last year's West Berlin op...
Sir, you went to Japan
with this passport?
Jwkyung...
You're the one?
Wait a minute!
Wait, don't come any closer.
Ju-kyun9-
Stop right there!
My government has
accepted this administration.
What we want is simple.
We want order.
Forget everything, and leave.
We'll support you
and your family.
The military assault
that started on May 18th
resulted in over 3,000
civilian casualties in 10 days.
On the 21st, there was
even an attack by helicopters.
Youngest casualty
was a 11-year-old child.
A bullet passed through his
chest, and killed him instantly.
You want me to accept
the killer of my people,
and turn my back on my country?
Your proposal is very insulting.
Hello?
Sir, it's me! Chief
Park is Donglim!
He killed Agent Bang
Ju-kyung and is on the move!
- What's his current location?
- Heading towards Mapo!
I'm on my way,
have our men ready!
Yes, sir!
The president's
revised itinerary.
I need to meet the head
of the South Korean cell.
You know cells can't
meet face-to-face.
Think we're in Storm Level 1?
Who cares about
that, just make contact!
I'll hand this off in person.
People are coming out.
People are exiting the church.
And Park Pyung-ho?
Not yet, sir.
Dammit.
Follow every one of them!
Don't miss a single one!
Follow your mark.
Agent Jang.
Why are you here?
Chief Park, I'm...
You're what? Are you tailing me?
No, it's not that.
Chief!
Jeez, KCIA fuckers
sure suck at their job.
How could they go easy
on a commie like this one?
Which agency do you work for?
Don't play dumb.
Defense Security Command,
you can't weasel out this time.
Lift him up!
Call Captain Kwon
at once and free me!
You're best buds
with my captain?
Go on, give him a massage.
So? You feel like talking now?
Did Kim Jung-do send you?
You think killing me
will save Jupiter Corp?
You think I don't know
about Operation Hunt Peter?!
What's this asshole
blabbering on about?
Get a whiff of your
burning skin and die!
That college chick of
yours spilled her guts!
That you're Donglim, who's been
spying on the KCIA for 13 years!
She's on the way
here, so fess up first.
Only one of you
will get to live.
Call the KCIA now...
Lieutenant Min!
Bring the documents.
This fucker still thinks
he's a KCIA agent.
Look at it, it's
your handwriting.
"Hunt South Korea's #1"
Assassinate our president?
It's a controlled
leak, you stupid thug!
Bring him out.
Fucking commies.
State your objective!
You goddamn traitors!
You'll be punished
for high treason...
Who are you?
State your objective!
WhO are you?!
You did well, comrade Donglim.
Been a while since
your last loyalty check.
I'm chief of the Ministry
of People's Armed Forces.
Why's the MPAF
involved in this operation?
Connect me to the
United Front's Li Yong-su.
You won't hear that peace lover's
cries for negotiation ever again.
Our leader changed the plan.
Starting with Operation Flare,
we'll attack the South militarily.
Operation Flare?
That's nonsense,
an all-out-war?!
You think the US
will just stand by?
Doesn't matter, 6 hours is
all we need to take the South.
But millions will
die in those 6 hours!
Our original plan to negotiate
after killing their
president is most practical!
Reunification is
the party's goal, no?!
Do not spoil the plan
for peaceful revolution
Comrade.
Peaceful reunification
is an illusion.
Your mission from now is
to assist in the assassination.
By accompanying the
president on his Asian tour.
I cannot agree to that!
You think I stayed alive
this long just to start a war?!
Having some intel
makes you better than us?!
How dare you disobey an order!
I can't agree to a war!
This will destroy all of us...
Get the rifles!
Back door! Back door!
Go after him!
You two, go upstairs!
Free Chief Park!
Donglim has been killed.
CEO Chm...
Where is he now?
The director wants CEO Choi's
confession today, whatever it takes.
WhO are you?!
CEO Chm.
What exactly is Jupiter Corp?
Who are you in league with?
All right, fine.
You really want
to go all the way?
Spill it.
Who's involved and
what's their end goal.
If you don't tell us, you die.
Very well.
That's what I wanted.
Give me your best shot.
Sir, if we go any
higher he could die.
Status on CEO Chm'?
He was a soldier to the end.
But the hunt of
Peter is possible.
North Korea has a plan in motion
to assassinate the president on
October 11th at 10 AM in Bangkok.
What? North Koreans?
We obtained this intel at
a raid we conducted today.
Once they successfully
assassinate the president,
we can initiate
Operation New World.
You want to carry out a
joint op with the North?
That's preposterous.
How is that a revolution?
It has to be justified.
We'll hold hands with commies?
This is not a revolution!
It's about stopping the
violence against our people.
That's our justification.
I'm flying out to
Bangkok tomorrow.
Go as far South as possible.
Take the first bus to Namhae.
In Namhae, there's a
temple called Boriam.
Go there.
It should be safe there.
What's going on?
No matter what happens in
South Korea, stay at the temple.
What's happening?
Bangkok
Reunification is at
the tip of our barrels.
We'll celebrate our Grand
Marshal upon reunification.
The party has initiated
Operation Flare.
It'll ignite on verse 1, last line
of the South Korean anthem.
For our party and our country!
To our Grand Marshal!
To our Grand Marshal!
To our Grand Marshal!
Main gate, sitrep.
All in order, sir.
Report when you see the
motorcade approaching.
Yes, sir!
Why did you let me walk?
You know who I am.
You know what I'm trying to do.
How long can you fight
violence with violence?
You think the world will change
by removing one dictator?
You've seen how this
dictatorship evolved.
It's time to end it.
Once the president arrives,
when does the anthem begin?
Yes, sir.
It'll start once they
pass the memorial.
Once he's assassinated,
the invasion begins.
That's North Korea's plan.
Reunification by force?
Are you still fooled by
such political theater?
What do you want from me?
Our goals are the same,
we can join up temporarily.
And then?
After that?
This is the main gate.
The director, ministers,
and reporters are heading in.
Rogen
No mistakes.
Good work, gents.
Let's all have a
drink after this is over.
Let's go inside.
Main gate, sitrep! Has
the president arrived?
Main gate!
Go confirm!
It's not the president! It's
Korean Ambassador to Thailand!
Stop the anthem!
Stop the anthem!
Stop! Stop it!
Stop!
The escort made you
look like the president.
He will be arriving shortly.
- I see.
- Let's go inside.
I'll send you wherever
you want to go.
When it's all over.
Chief Kim, come say hello.
You've done a marvelous job.
Reunification at last.
He'll be a great support
back home in the future.
Comrade, with Operation Flare,
South Korea will be destroyed.
This is the main gate, the
president is passing through.
The party and our country
are watching you today.
Good luck to you.
North Korean spy...
It's a sniper!
Stop the anthem!
Stop the anthem!
What's going on?!
Stop!
Stop!
Sniper!
Chief Kim, go
rescue the president!
What are you doing?!
Go rescue him!
Why should I rescue him?!
Stop it! No!
Stop!
Lower your gun. Don't do this.
Stop! Everyone stop!
You're sentenced to death for usurping
power and murdering our people.
Chief Kim!
Chief Kim!
Bring the car over!
Bring the car! Get
the car over here!
Mr. President! Are you okay?!
Drive!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Park Pyong-ho!
Why?
Why did you do it?!
Hold still,
you can survive this.
Did you want to live?
One moment.
Release her. And
give this to her.
Uncuff her.
Pull out.
My mission was to watch you.
Soon, someone else will come.
Yooqungn.
You can live a different life.
