YEAR 1992
RUSSIA

[exclaims]

We've got to figure out the password
for Dr. Kang's briefcase by today.

JUWON: Can we get it done?

Hey, Juwon.

Yes?

Isn't the night view amazing?

It's wonderful.

Good for you.
You get to enjoy this view all the time.

But what's the operation about
that you're gearing up?

It's not for an operation.

I just felt sorry for seeing
this wonderful night view alone.

What?

Oh?

Mr. Kim, what are you...

[Juwon screaming]

MOVING

[Juwon screaming]

RUSSIAN AGENT [in Russian]:
That suitcase alone is useless.

We need the password.

Tell him to give us the password
if you want to earn some money.

[in Korean]
Dr. Kang, give me the password right now.

If I tell you that right now,
you're just going to k*ll me.

I'll tell you
once I'm back in North Korea.

I'll give you three seconds.

Did you have enough of the night view?

What?

Yeah! Please, let's go back now!

Go back where? It's time to work.

What?

Three.

DOOSIK: Just like what we always do.

I'll sh**t from above,
and you do your thing on the ground.

What?

Just do what we always do.

Oh, what we always do? Okay.

Two.

Let's begin.

Whoa!
[screams]

Kim Doosik!

[screaming continues]

Look how he's addressing me
when he's distressed.

He needs more training.

-One.

JUWON: Okay!

[g*nshots]

[grunts]

[groaning]

Comrade.

Get up.

Are you okay?

He's okay.

No, it hurts. I'm not okay.

I'm fine.

And only I get to say that I'm okay.

You have no right.

[groans]

Dr. Kang.

We escorted your family
safely to South Korea.

Did you really?

Will you come to South Korea with me?

How can I trust you?

This is not about trust.

It's a choice.

Mr. Kim.

Here, take this helmet.

It'll be tough to carry
the two of us at once,

but you can do it!

Two?

It's too heavy to carry...

two people at a time.

Hm?

Huh?

-I'll see you in Seoul.
-What?

[Dr. Kang exclaims]

Hey!

Don't do this!

Mr. Kim, come on.

JUWON: You're just playing around

because I called you
by your full name, right?

Come back down!

How do you expect me
to go to Seoul from Russia?

I can't even find my way to my house!

Oh!

Hey, Kim Doosik!

That darn...

[yelling]

Give me my helmet back!

YEAR 1993
HONG KONG

[distant expl*si*n]

VENDOR [in Cantonese]:
Here are your dumplings.

Please enjoy.

[groans softly]

Won't it leave a scar
if you don't remove it soon?

Here.

You always carry this with you
when you don't even use knives.

It's from my late father.

But can I use it for this?

I don't let just anyone use it.

[Juwon groaning]

[Juwon exhales sharply]

Thank you.

[Doosik sighs]

EPISODE 12: PARTNERS

PREVIOUSLY ON MOVING

YONGJUN: Kim Doosik,code name Moonsan.

I'm going to assign you an important task.

The most elite black agent of the ANSP.

You have to get close to him
without him noticing.

MIHYUN: I'm Lee Mihyun,
Information Management Division.

I'm Kim Doosik.

It's Deputy Director Min, isn't it?

Let's just say you didn't fail.
That way, I can continue to see you.

Mr. Kim?

[gasps]

MIHYUN: Thank you.

Thank you for telling me your secret.

I'm telling you my secret right now.

DOOSIK: I don't care if I die.

[upbeat music]

YONGJUN: Moonsan,
this is a top-secret assignment.

Why did you come?

I thought I might die.

Listen carefully.

This is a new mission.

YEAR 1994, ANSP

When Kim Doosik returns,

we need to capture him alive.

Think of your father...

and cooperate.

[cars approaching]

I'm his partner.

Mr. Min will see him alone.

Juwon, just have a cup of coffee.

Like what we always do.

[sighs]

[elevator dings]

[running footsteps]

[tires screeching]

[lightning crackles]

[Mihyun sobbing]

[dramatic music]

[door opens]

[lightning crackles]

[Mihyun and Doosik grunting]

AGENT 1: Pull him in!

[grunting]

-[grunts]
-[agents yelp]

[grunts]

-AGENT 2: Hold fire.
-sn*per: Holding fire.

AGENT 2: Confirmed.

[Doosik panting]

[dramatic music]

Ms. Lee.

[dramatic music]

YONGJUN: When Kim Doosik returns,

we need to capture him alive.

Think of your father...

and cooperate.

Yes, sir.

[somber music]

AGENT 3: Please step out.

Why did you go off the grid
without reporting to me?

Report right now.

What happened up North?

Did you succeed or fail?

The result is the same.

What matters is whether
the operation succeeded.

-What matters is that it was ordered.
-Tell me what happened right now.

If you want a report,

may I report the order you gave me
to the Blue House?

-What? You little...
-I'm guessing they're in the dark.

YONGJUN: Hey, Kim Doosik!

You're an ANSP agent!

Are you saying you'll betray us?

You know how we deal with--

Min Yongjun.

[tense music]

I'm the one who was betrayed.

So, how does it feel to be betrayed?

I'll take care of Lee Mihyun myself.

I will exist on my own terms.

What?

I'm going to live

and let both the North and South
chase me down.

[suspenseful music]

-[g*nshots]
-[yells]

[grunts]

[g*nshots]

[groaning]

[whimpers]

[groans]

What... What are you doing?

Don't sh**t.

Hold your fire.

-STAFF 1: What's going on?
-STAFF 2: Where did that sound come from?

STAFF 3: What is it?

[staff clamoring]

AGENT 4: Move in!

-Let's talk it out.
-[g*nshots]

Get him!

-[Yongjun screams]
-Oh!

Mr. Min...

Mr. Min!

YONGJUN: Drop your g*ns!

Put your g*ns down, you idiots!

MIHYUN: It's him.

YONGJUN: Don't sh**t!

-Don't sh**t!
-WOONKYU: Don't sh**t!

-YONGJUN: You might sh**t me!
-WOONKYU: Mr. Min might be shot!

You might sh**t me!

-Don't sh**t!
-MIHYUN: He could've just disappeared.

But he returned because of me.

[crowd screams]

Because if he had just disappeared,

everyone was going to be after me.

He risked the danger of coming back...

-[whimpers]
-...for me.

To deny our relationship
in front of all these people.

Lee Mihyun!

STAFF 4: Lee Mihyun?
Why is he calling her?

MIHYUN: Mr. Kim Doosik.

It was so unfortunate of you...

to meet me.

[soft music]

[Yongjun whimpering]

-[g*nshots]
-[crowd screaming]

WOONKYU: Mr. Min!

-[Woonkyu screaming]
-[breathes nervously]

[breathes shakily]

[dramatic music]

WOONKYU: Mr. Min!

What are you waiting for? Move!

Go after him!

I know everything.

Threaten me with this g*n
and slip through.

[Mihyun sobs]

And give my knife to Guryongpo.

DOOSIK: He will help you.

[somber music]

[sobs]

Contact the strike force again.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

-AGENT 5: We're heading to headquarters.
-AGENT 6: Yes, sir.

Juwon, just have a cup of coffee.

Like what we always do.

[g*nsh*t]

[g*n thuds]

STAFF 5: Mr. Min is asking for you.

I have a favor to ask.

Like what we always do.

[tense music]

[tense music continues]

JUWON: "Like what we always do."

That was our last assignment.

Just like that, he left.

We were both called monsters.

He was my colleague...

and partner.

AGENT 7: Mr. Min.

-We found him.
-AGENT 8: Sir, are you all right?

-We're with the Blue House...
-MIHYUN: The next day,

the military police
rescued Deputy Director Min.

-[dog barks]
-AGENT 8: Mr. Min, are you all right?

-MIHYUN: He was found near the Blue House.
-YONGJUN: Get me down!

Get me down right now!

MIHYUN: Since the incident couldn't be
fully explained to the Blue House,

Deputy Director Min was demoted.

As for Kim Doosik...

he had disappeared.

The ANSP with its absolute power

eventually diminished.

And like that, the barbaric era passed.

DECEASED: LEE HAESONG
CHIEF MOURNER: LEE MIHYUN

MIHYUN: I became completely alone.

My father had passed away,

and I was finally freed from the agency.

He did not return.

I missed him.

Since the ANSP was downsized,

I was able to transfer
to another organization.

CHIEF: Let's call it a day.

-EMPLOYEE 1: Good work everyone.
-EMPLOYEE 2: Yes, sir.

-LEADER: Good work today.
-Good work.

I have a request, sir.

What is it?

Could I move to another desk?

CHIEF: To which one?

To the empty desk by the window.

CHIEF: We left it empty,
because it's too visible from the outside.

Will that be okay with you?

[chief chuckles]

CHIEF: All right, then.

-Thank you.
-CHIEF: No problem.

MIHYUN: I had the life I wanted.

I returned to my everyday life

but he did not return.

EMPLOYEE 3: Jjamppong for the team leader
and donkatsu for Mihyun.

What? Chinese restaurants
now deliver donkatsu, too?

They even deliver kimchi fried rice
these days.

EMPLOYEE 4: I see.
They deliver all kinds of food now.

LEADER: All right,
please enjoy your meals.

EMPLOYEE 3: Enjoy your meal.

-EMPLOYEE 4: Enjoy.
-LEADER: Thanks.

[soft music]

Are you looking at the flowers?

Yes.

We're going to a café.
Why don't you join us for coffee?

I already have one.

[exclaims]

Not the ones from the vending machine,
a brewed one.

Everyone drinks Americanos these days.

I prefer the ones from vending machines.

See you later, then.

MIHYUN: I developed a habit
of looking out the window.

CHIEF: All right. It's six o'clock.

Let's clock out on time
as government workers should.

-EMPLOYEE 5: Good work, everyone!
-EMPLOYEE 6: Good work today!

-EMPLOYEE 7: See you tomorrow.
-EMPLOYEE 8: Goodbye.

-EMPLOYEE 9: Let's go.
-EMPLOYEE 10: Okay.

Ms. Lee, aren't you clocking out?

MIHYUN: I'll stay a bit longer.

Don't overwork yourself, and go home soon.

-MIHYUN: Thank you.
-Good work.

EMPLOYEE 11: Let's go.

[door closes]

[Mihyun sighs]

MIHYUN: I developed a habit
of looking up at the sky.

JINMYUNG REAL ESTATE AGENCY

-MAN 1: This is it.
-ANCHOR: This is the nine o'clock news.

The Agency for National Security Planning

is being renamed
as the National Intelligence Service.

Its motto, "We work in the shadows

-to protect the sunlit land..."
-Hey.

-...has become "Information is our power."
-I used to work at the ANSP.

As a means to improve the public image
of the new government...

This is top secret.

One of the ANSP agents I saw at the time

had the ability to fly
and sh**t g*ns from the air, and...

How can a person fly?

Gosh.

-Don't be ridiculous.
-Come on.

-But I saw it with my own two eyes.
-Goodness.

No one's going to believe
the words of a security guard.

-Right?
-Exactly.

Oh, come on. I almost believed you.

-MAN 2: What's with you?
-MAN 3: Luck is on my side today.

MAN 4: I'm completely cleaned out.

-MAN 3: Today's dinner...
-But he really did fly in the sky.

-MAN 4: Hurry up. I need to win.
-...in short, they will be called NIS.

[sighs]

[approaching footsteps]

[calm music]

I looked for you in the sky.

But you came on foot.

Do you remember?

I said I wanted to show you

the white world from the sky
when it snowed.

Show me.

[whimsical music]

[amused gasps]

[chuckles]

[cooing]

-You're in a new diaper now.
-Does it feel good?

What's wrong? Did he go again?

MIHYUN: Were you hungry, sweetheart?

-DOOSIK: What upset you?
-[baby Bongseok crying]

-What made you upset?
-What is it?

Bongseok.

[both chuckle]

[light music]

DOOSIK: You didn't have to come out.

What about Bongseok?

He's doing just fine on his own.

Here's a cold shake for you.

-[groaning]
-[chuckles]

I guess farming is hard
even for a legendary elite black agent.

[groans]

If anyone claims
that farming is good for k*lling time,

I'm going to sh**t them.

[both laughing]

Hold me steady.

Ahh.

This is perfectly ripe. Here you go.

[whimpering]

Goodness, you're awake again.

You need to sleep some more.

Gosh. There, there.

DOOSIK: All right.

There's this thing called
the miracle of 100 days.

They're supposed to stop crying
after 100 days.

Ms. Lee, your son
is more than 200 days old.

[Mihyun sighs]
Then they're all lies.

Mihyun, it's hard to raise a child,
isn't it?

[yawns]

I finished the agent training course
with top scores.

Sure, 54th year.

[sighs]

This is harder than the fourth week
of winter ranger training.

[both laugh]

DOOSIK: Say "Mommy."

-"Mommy."
-MIHYUN: Peekaboo.

-Bongseok, say "Mommy."
-Peekaboo.

-"Mommy."
-Peekaboo.

[cooing]

-DOOSIK: Say "Mommy."
-[Mihyun chuckles]

[gibbering]

Say "Daddy, Mom..."

[baby Bongseok crying]

[crying intensifies]

[sighs]

-REPORTER: On June 14th, at 11:10 p.m...
-DOOSIK: Don't eat the spoon.

...the leaders of the two Koreas

signed the North-South Joint Declaration,

which marks a milestone
in the history of the Korean Peninsula.

President Kim Daejung
of the Republic of Korea

and the National
Defense Chairman Kim Jongil

of the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea.

The two leaders joined hands
and raised them with big smiles.

OFFICE OF PLANNING AND DECISIONS

Hello, Deputy Director Min.

I'm still just a section chief.

You told us not to let anyone in.

So it hasn't been cleaned yet.

Forget it.

Call everyone in.

Everyone, sir?

Except for Guryongpo.

AGENCY FOR NATIONAL SECURITY PLANNING


We'll begin again.

[trilling]

What is it?

-[rat squeaking]
-[cans clank]

Nothing. I think it's a wild rat.

[sighs]

Should we move to another place?

Why?

This place is too remote from everything,

and he might feel suffocated,
stuck in this house.

We should live in a bigger house.

He's small, so it's all right for now.

Won't others think it's strange
that he never goes outside?

There are hardly any neighbors
in the area.

So it's fine.

And we shouldn't let our guard down yet.

Let's move after some time has passed.

Okay.

[exhales deeply]

When that time comes,
let's go to the outskirts of Seoul

and run a restaurant.

You can cook.
And I can clean and wash the dishes.

I can also do deliveries.

What kind of restaurant?

Donkatsu.

[chuckles]

It's your favorite.

You must be tired. Let's sleep.

[Mihyun sniffles]

Oh, right. Mihyun.

Hm?

I love you.

I know.

[giggling]

How about some spicy noodles?

Ah.

Sounds perfect.

I'll start cooking, so come in later.

Let me finish this up quickly.

Okay.

[chuckling]

Butterfly.

MIHYUN [in distance]: Bongseok!

Bongseok!

Bongseok, where are you?

[panting]

Doosik!

MIHYUN [in distance]: Bongseok!

Bongseok, where are you?

[gasps]

Bongseok is gone.

I don't think anyone broke into the house.

But the gate is open.

Where did he...

Okay, Mihyun. Calm down.

Calm down.

[epic music]

DOOSIK: Bongseok!

[thrilling music]

Bongseok!

DOOSIK: Bongseok!

Bongseok!

Bongseok!

-Bong--
-[young Bongseok crying]

[sighs]

YOUNG BONSEOK: Dad!

-Dad!
-Bongseok.

My boy. What are you doing here?

DOOSIK: Were you scared?

You were scared, weren't you?

You're all right.

[beeps]

[sighs]

Fortunately, he has no fever.

I guess he got scared of the height.

He's okay now.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You were always so calm.

DOOSIK: I've never seen you like that.

I guess you've been anxious all along.

MIHYUN: I tell myself
that everything is over.

But I guess I still feel uneasy.

[birds chirping]

CHEONGGYE OVERPASS DISAPPEARS INTO HISTORY

[young Bongseok gibbering]

[paper rustling]

DOOSIK: How may I help you?

RAEHYUK: I'd like to buy some apples.

DOOSIK: We only sell them wholesale.

RAEHYUK: I'm stopping by on my way
to my wife's family.

Just let me buy about 30,000 won worth.

DOOSIK: Well...

-Sure.
-RAEHYUK: Thanks.

Thank you.

Gosh, that's a lot.

Oh.

[grunts]

[tense music]

[rat squeaking]

[approaching footsteps]

[trilling]

Did something pass by?

[Mihyun shushes]

[trilling]

[approaching footsteps]

[whispers]
There are people approaching.

How many?

MIHYUN: Around 30.

[c*ck g*n]

MIHYUN: Three close by.

[approaching footsteps]

We're surrounded.

[tense music]

[c*ck g*n]

Doosik.

I'll distract them from the front.

Escape with Bongseok through the back.

Come with us.

They're here in the middle of the night.

That means they already know about us.

We can't all escape together.

Still, come with us.

[Doosik shushes]

They probably don't know
about Bongseok's ability.

We must not let them know
that he's like me.

Mihyun.

Do you know how my life has been?

I can't...

let our son live a life like mine.

You can't let anyone know, no matter what.

You have to keep him hidden.

Don't worry.

I'll join you soon.

When I give you the signal,
run and don't look back.

I'll find you no matter what.

[sniffles]

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

Did Deputy Director Min send you?

Moonsan. I've heard a lot about you.

Let us escort you.

[grunting]

[g*nshots]

[expl*si*n]

SANGGU: Let's move!

[suspenseful music]

[g*nshots]

[g*nshots]

[Doosik groaning]

[yelling]

[electricity crackles]

[both grunting]

[foreboding music]

AGENT 9: Stay still!

[whimpers]

[screams]

[both grunting]

SANGGU: Search Team,
get back to the main force.

Get back right now!

[tense music]

Now.

[engine starts]

SANGGU: Stop.

The rats escaped.

[groans]

[sighs]

Let's stop now.

You screwed me over again.

You f*ck.

What time does the next bus come?

It comes every 30 minutes.

-Thank you for the food.
-All right.

I need my receipt.

RESTAURANT OWNER: Sure.

[closing theme music]
