01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

I only learned this after some time,

but the Professor was an actual professor
until a few years ago.

His research was mainly
on the economic impact of reunification.

Why are we living in a divided country?

What has kept us from reunifying

for more than 70 years?

Political, cultural, and economic factors
complicate this issue.

The spiral model that was
originally developed to solve this issue

clearly has its limitations.

Let me tell you my theory.

If South Korea and North Korea
shared the same dream,

reunification would happen immediately.

Then what should that dream be?

Peace on the Korean Peninsula?
Cultural consensus?

It has to be desire.

A desire to make
both South Korea and North Korea rich.

That desire.

Desire.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBER
KIM SANGMAN

That was a very impressive lecture.

Where are we going right now?

I'd like to introduce you to someone
who can turn your ideas into reality.

Thank you for coming all the way here.
I'm Oh Jaeyun.

I'm aware of who you are, sir.

I'll leave you two alone to talk.

Have you been here before?

No, it's my first time.

What do you think?

Don't you think this place is inefficient?
Or is it just tragic?

Can I ask why you wanted to see me?

It's still highly classified…

but North Korea plans to implement
a full-scale open-door policy soon.

But economic development requires
two things. Capital and a plan.

Our group will provide capital,
and you, Professor,

will develop an economic cooperation plan.

Your work will be the key
to the reunification of the Peninsula.

What do you say? Will you join us?

The Professor said

the moment he shook the chairman's hand,

he chose to become Oppenheimer.

Who is Oppenheimer?

He's the scientist
who developed the first atomic b*mb.

A white Korando vehicle
is heading toward the Paju intersection.

Requesting backup.

In pursuit of a white SUV
heading toward the intersection ahead.

Driving ahead now to block his escape!

Move!

Move!

Hold on tight!

Tokyo!

-Denver!
-We have an intruder!

We have to contact the Professor
right now!

Move! Please make way!

The Professor is not inside the Mint.

Park Chulwoo, do you copy?

Park Chulwoo!

Do you copy?

Park Chulwoo!

Confirming sight of one male driver.

You're surrounded!
Do not resist! Get out of the car!

Do as we say!

Get out now, or we'll sh**t!

I repeat! You're surrounded!

Do not resist! Get out of the car!

You're surrounded! Surrender now!

Stop it!

Still don't need me?

What was that noise?

sh*t.

He's not here!

-What do we do?
-He couldn't have gotten far.

-Search the area and request backup.
-Yes.

Inspector!

Call from headquarters.

There's definitely someone on the outside.
He set the car on fire and escaped.

He must be one of the members
of the Professor's g*ng, or…

I think he is the Professor.

g*nshots were just heard
coming from inside the Mint.

TF HAS YET TO REPORT

The hostages' fate is unknown,

but the police are repeatedly stating
that they're looking into the situation.

Meanwhile, the hostages' families
have gathered near the Mint,

desperately waiting for updates.

Is our child dead or alive?

That's all we want to know.

A petition on the Blue House
online petition board

has gathered more than 200,000 signatures
supporting the use of force to infiltrate.

There is growing public criticism

of the lukewarm response
and authority of the police.

They are not just robbers anymore.

They're t*rrorists who pose a threat
to the peace of the Korean Peninsula.

It's meaningless
to continue talks with them.

We must take strong action
with zero tolerance!

How could you do this
without so much as a word to me?

An agent died
because you made the wrong call!

I have no excuse.

Don't apologize to me.
Apologize to agent Park Chulwoo's family!

Why did you do this?
I thought we were a team.

They selected me?

So,

do you still suspect me?

If you were really a spy,

you wouldn't have chased him down
with such fire in your eyes.

I understand
the situation gave you no other choice.

But from now on,
we have to trust each other.

I understand.

I hoped to spend
my last days at work at ease--

Oh, you're back.

-I was briefly updated.
-Let me--

Let's deal with the matters at hand first.

Why would the robbers
try to conceal Agent Park's death?

Isn't that obvious?

If his death is confirmed,
they'd be admitting they're murderers.

They could've revealed he's an officer.

But they haven't done anything for hours.

That's why this is strange.

If they were ordinary armed robbers,

they wouldn't mind
a few deaths in a hostage situation.

And he was an undercover agent,
so they had even less reason to hesitate.

It'd also show that they're willing
to go all the way if you piss them off.

And they're not just robbing
any small bank. It's the Mint.

A major national institution.

And the result?

Not a single casualty for days.

And how about when the director got shot?

They went so far as
to let medics save him.

Do they want to claim to be Robin Hoods?

Well, maybe.

We know one thing for sure.
They care a lot about public opinion.

We have two cards up our sleeve.

One is to stir up public opinion.

And the other?

That we now know

the Professor isn't in there.

From now on,
we're going to use these cards

to reclaim the upper hand
in the negotiation.

But how?

By going into the Mint myself.

What should we do about the press?
They're still out there.

Tell them we'll have
a briefing in two hours.

From now on, let's have
three scheduled briefings a day.

That seems excessive--

We give them
the right information at the right time.

If we play by the rules,
the public will realize

that they shouldn't be angry at us

but at the robbers.

What a crybaby.

sh*t. That's enough.

Didn't you say
you were really good at fighting?

Hey, I was ambushed.

This wouldn't have happened
if you had kept watch properly.

Sorry. You're all set now.

Forget it.

By the way, what's this on your forehead?
Is it cracked or something?

That hurts! I'm the one
who got attacked out of the blue.

I didn't say anything.

Hey, boss.

What are you doing up here?

You look bummed out.

Tokyo?

This isn't your fault.

That frigging cop almost put
all the hostages in danger.

You think so?

I'm not sure.

Come on. I'm trying to comfort you.
At least pretend to play along with it.

Oh, here you are.

The Professor called.

Did he take care of the car?

He said it was
just as Tokyo had described.

I told you.

Good thing you knew
those car dealers were swindlers.

Hey, we would've been screwed
if it weren't for you.

Am I wrong?

The same goes for the Yun Misun situation.

There's a reason the Professor trusts you.

Now go.

Stand tall.

If I hadn't stepped up,

it would have been worse
than just having Tokyo dead.

You're right. So I was thinking.

Berlin should take charge again.

What? But what if
something bad happens again?

It's my fault
this incident happened in the first place.

So maybe Berlin is right.

Instilling fear might be the best way
to control the hostages.

Berlin, what do you think?

I kind of disagree. There's a saying,
"Don't change the general during a w*r."

And if she gets the ax
for a mistake like this,

I should've been chopped up long ago.

Are you sure?

Professor, I only want one thing.

For our plan to succeed.

Whether through superficial peace
or blood-curdling fear,

I don't care how it gets done.

We walk out of the Mint unhurt
with a handsome load of cash.

That's all I want.

Professor?

First things first. Put me through.

What was with the g*nf*re?

sh**ting practice.

What? Why is he hiding it?
It was in self-defense.

Don't tell me you've k*lled someone.

I told you before.

We don't intend to hurt the hostages.

I guess that didn't go as planned?

It's chaos outside the Mint,

from the hostages' families
pleading for us to check if they're alive

to the public demanding
that we take forceful action.

Have you seen the news?

We got bored and practiced sh**ting.

It's suffocating in here.

Really? So you didn't k*ll anyone?

You want me

to put every hostage on the line
to talk like we did with the director?

Or maybe a video message?

I'll come in and check for myself.

That way, I can be sure.

I'm sure you know that I can't allow that.

If you don't, you won't be able
to calm public outrage.

If we keep this up,
we'll both end up in a tight spot.

At this point, I can no longer guarantee
the food as promised.

I guess there's no choice.

But remember,

no playing games like last time.

Of course. I'll go in by myself.

But let me bring
a camera inside to broadcast live.

Because if you're keeping your promise,
then the public should know that too.

If you refuse,

we have no choice but to make
an announcement to the reporters outside.

We'll say the robbers refused
to let us check the hostages' safety.

When the food supplies
come in at noon tomorrow,

I'll let you enter the Mint.

Inspector Seon Woojin
had already figured out

there was only one reason we were
trying so hard to keep the hostages safe.

Public opinion.

And the moment we were cornered,

she decided to stab us
with the knife of public opinion.

It's simple.

We just line them up in a row,

let her see them,
and then send her outside.

No, if possible, let her check
the hostages one by one.

We need to be prepared
in case anything happens.

Time is on our side anyway.

Why didn't you just blow her off?

The reason I said no one should die
was because of public opinion

since the last piece
of the puzzle in our plan

is having the public on our side.

And

if the public starts to believe
we're homicidal maniacs or reactionaries--

They'll storm in with g*ns.

What's the worry?
All the hostages are fine anyway.

What if they find out
we're printing cash during the check?

We must make sure no one talks.

What we're doing in the Mint,
or what happened to Park Chulwoo,

we can't let any information leak.

So be well-prepared for the hostage check.

The task force is holding
this press briefing to calm the worries

of the families
of the hostages and the general public.

First, regarding
the g*nf*re this afternoon,

the robbers reiterated

that they are committed to guaranteeing
the hostages' safety.

-You mean there aren't any casualties?
-How can we trust them?

In response, the task force

insisted we needed to confirm
the hostages' safety in person,

and after negotiating,
the robbers accepted our terms.

TF team head, Seon Woojin,

will enter the Mint with a camera

and do a live broadcast.

That's all for now.

Did the g*nsh*t cause any casualties?

You stayed up all night.

Don't worry.

If anything happens, I'll take care of it.

That's hard to believe, right?

So do your best.

Because I believe in you.

I couldn't continue
being frustrated forever.

Helsinki, Oslo.

Bring the hostages to the lobby.

Come on.
Stop dawdling and get up right now!

Damn it! Piss off!

They want everyone. Get up.

Do they want to gather the traitors
for some kangaroo court?

I'm not going!

Didn't seem like you had a choice.

-But suit yourself.
-Hey.

If you hadn't set out to evacuate
the hostages at that exact moment,

we'd be home in our beds by now.

I regret it too.

That cop would still be alive
if I had stopped him earlier.

I bet she's thinking the same.

Let go of me.

Why? So you can go meet him?

Even if we make it out of here,

I'll make sure everyone knows

you're a traitor
who screwed around with a robber.

Nothing happened between
the three of us in the storage room.

Correct?

Yes!

So stop bothering her about nothing.

Yes.

At noon, a police officer will come in
to see if all the hostages are safe.

Your families became worried
after hearing the g*nsh*t.

So we've made an exception.
So please cooperate.

What about the dead policeman?

Anne.

Shouldn't you at least give them his body?

What body?

Did something happen?

We were just having
a little sh**ting practice.

-Director.
-Yes.

Do you know anything?

No, sir.

That's right.

May I say a few words?

It's a little late,
but let me introduce myself.

My real name is Song Jungho.

I'm 41 years old.

I was born in Taechon, Pyongan Province.

When I was nine,
I was caught escaping from North Korea

and spent 25 years in a prison camp.

I won't go into details
about how I got out of there.

But now that everyone here
knows my real identity,

there's a much higher chance
I'll get caught

even if I get out of this place.

This is not only a punishment for myself
for threatening you this whole time

but also a warning.

My colleagues will continue
trying to treat you humanely.

But I've got nothing to lose now.

So you'd better not do anything stupid.

There'll be a camera in here too.

Your families haven't seen you in a while,
so you'd better go wash up.

Move.

The line for the men's room isn't so long,
so those in the back come this way.

Mr. Vice Director, we need to talk.

-What are you gonna do?
-About what?

The police will be coming in.
We should do something.

A person died. We can't remain silent.
We have to let them know!

They warned us.

If we provoke the robbers,
things will get worse.

-Still…
-We won't get caught.

What do you mean?

We secretly pass them a note.

Tell them about the dead cop, how many
bank robbers there are, their identities,

and that they're in here printing money.

And if we get caught?

The robbers won't tolerate
another stunt like this.

Wouldn't that depend

on who gets caught?

Don't tell me…

They won't be able to hurt you
even if you were to get caught

because you're the daughter
of the US ambassador.

Still, how could you ask
a child to do that…

I'll do it.
It's my fault the policeman died.

We'll use a newly printed note
instead of paper.

Vice Director, I'm on their blacklist,

so you go ask the printing group
to sneak out a bill for us.

Let's do that.

I'll take the fall if we get caught.

Stop if it gets too much.

Due to safety reasons,

we'll only bring one cameraman
and no reporters inside the Mint.

But the recordings from the Mint

will be shared
with every station and news outlet.

As we think of our family members
held c*ptive nearby,

I've invited you here
to demand their safety

and a prompt resolution of the situation.

The family members of the Mint employees,
parents of the school children,

and the parents of Ms. Anne Kim,

US ambassador to Korea Marshall Kim
and his wife, Mrs. Kim,

are here with us.

Are we ready?

-Have you checked the transmission?
-Yes, we're all set.

Let's go.

AGENT PARK WAS SHOT DEAD FINDING THE PROF…

THEY AREN'T ROBBERS. THEY'RE DIGGING
A TUNNEL AND PRINTING CASH.

It's time.

We'll be fine, right?

I have faith

we're headed in the right direction.

HOUR 98 OF THE HEIST

Look, the door is opening.

TOP NEWS
TF ENTERING THE MINT

-There's no one.
-Where are the hostages?

Why is it empty?

Nice to meet you.

BREAKING NEWS
ROBBERS REVEAL THEIR FACES

-Look at his face.
-Is that real?

Thank you for coming.

And the hostages?

Follow me.

-They're going in.
-They're going in.

Set up the camera over here.

-Where are all the hostages?
-Where are they?

Now we can start proving to you
that the hostages are alive.

First up is the director of the Mint,
Cho Youngmin.

Are you going to show them one by one?

Yes, to maintain order.

Once you've been checked,
go to the exhibition hall and rest.

Hey, you.

Don't do anything stupid.

Okay?

Here.

First, I want to apologize
for our friendly fire.

How's your wound?

It's okay.

I am Cho Youngmin, Director of the Mint.

Dad.

Honey, are our kids,

Huichan and Huiju, doing well?

I'm fine.

Wait for me, okay?

Huichan!

Huiju!

All the robbers have been nice to us.

What was that g*nsh*t yesterday?

I'm not sure…

So, no one was shot?

We've found his identity.

CRIMINAL RECORDS
SONG JUNGHO

That's why he looked familiar.

Hey, Anne.

Let's go.

Nice to meet you. Are you doing okay?

Yes.

If you have anything you'd like to say
to your family, go ahead.

ANNE KIM
MYEONGSEONG FOREIGN LANGUAGE HIGH SCHOOL

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It looks like she's too emotional.
We should let her get some rest.

Good idea. Come on.

No.

That was quite a performance back there.

Give it to me. What is it?

Such a clever little move you made.

Whose idea was this?

I planned it myself,
so you can all go f*ck yourselves!

Who ordered this?

Nice try, but this ends here.

Helsinki, take her.

What's Inspector Seon's plan?

-If it goes on like this--
-Take the camera off.

Now it's really starting.

What are you doing?

This is going to take forever.

Please bring all the hostages here.

That's not gonna happen.

Why? We can all save time.
Isn't that better?

You clearly said
that all the hostages are safe,

and you also promised proof of life.

I'm saying we'll leave after checking them
all at once. Is that a problem?

All right.

Reposition the camera.

HOSTAGES ENTERING
CHECKING ALL AT ONCE

-It's a g*n!
-What the hell are the police doing?

This is the list of hostages. I'll compare
and confirm the hostages, one by one.

I've already met Director Cho Youngmin.

He's alive.

See, everyone is alive.
Now, let me walk you out.

There's a person missing.
The contract security guard.

Park Chulwoo. A 33-year-old male.

It was his first day at work.

-We have no hostages like that.
-No. He is definitely on our list.

Has anyone seen him?

Anyone?

So you're saying she put the late
Agent Park's name on the hostage list?

The identities of SOF agents
are classified, so no one will find out.

Why am I hearing this now?

We had to create something unexpected

that the Professor couldn't respond to
from outside.

If anything had leaked,

they would've refused to let us in.

While all eyes are on the Mint right now,
Inspector Seon will use public opinion

to bring out the hostages.

Something happened yesterday
when we heard the g*nshots, right?

I'm telling you nothing happened.

Director, do you know anything?

That was…

sh**ting practice.

You can't get away with this
by silencing them. You're mistaken.

This man. Where is he?

How would I know that?
I've never even seen him here.

Come on.
No one has seen him before? Anyone?

You really haven't seen him?

I saw him yesterday!

Yesterday, he was--

I saw him too!

Where is this man?

Don't tell me

you k*lled him?

Bring him out if you didn't k*ll him.

Did you think this bullshit would work?

That son of a b*tch was a cop!

So you're admitting that you k*lled him?

You're the ones who secretly sent in
an agent. We acted in self-defense!

That's what you think!

What matters is that you broke the promise
and k*lled a person in here!

Even now, the majority of the public
wants us to use force to stop you.

We're trying our best to negotiate
for the sake of the hostages' safety.

But given the situation,
I don't think we can solve this

with conversation any longer.

So if you want to avoid
the worst-case scenario,

at least release the students.

-That's right!
-At least set the students free!

Give me justification
to continue negotiating.

Justification? Be honest.

Aren't you trying to free
the daughter of the US ambassador

so that you can bulldoze this place?

Us storming in scares you, huh?

I can just stay in here!

You heard that?

Then how about, aside from Anne,
you send the other students home?

Let them out! Let the students go!

-What is it?
-It's from a courier.

ANONYMOUS TIP

I guess we have no choice.

We'll just have to hear for ourselves
to know who is right.

What? They didn't k*ll him?

What we were hiding so thoroughly

wasn't actually Park Chulwoo's death.

It was the fact that he was alive.

We give them
the right information at the right time.

If we play by the rules,
the public will realize

that they shouldn't be angry at us
but at the robbers.

So, did you take care of the car?

More importantly, what happened?

A rat crawled out, so we caught it.

Did you k*ll him?

Of course, Berlin's b*llet was aimed
straight for the cop's heart.

He wanted to blow the man's head off
right then and there.

Instead, he took it out on him.

But he was still alive.

Berlin kept to the principle
the Professor had emphasized so much.

Since Berlin stuck to our principle,

we now have an opportunity
to win public opinion to our side.

The police are certain
that Park Chulwoo is dead.

We will use that

to our advantage.

What are they talking about?

Breaking news.

A video was just delivered anonymously
to our truck.

Surprisingly, the video
contained footage of what happened

inside the Mint
at the time of the g*nf*re yesterday.

SOF Agent Park Chulwoo

infiltrated the Mint wearing
the same outfit as the hostages

and caused a disturbance
in an attempt to k*ll our leader.

Sure, let's say that's all okay.

After all, he's a cop. But after that?

Agent Park!
What was the next part of your plan?

Should I say it?

While we were panicking
over losing our leader,

they were planning to storm in here.

-An offensive?
-No way!

The hostages had no idea.

What do you think would've happened
to the hostages if I didn't catch Park

or if the police had stormed in here?

Whatever your answer is, do you think

people will believe the word of cops
who pretended to care

and planned to use the hostages
as human shields and lied about it?

How could they?

No. Later.

As you all know,
we're criminals here to steal money.

But we know better than most
that lives matter.

At least better than the police.

If someone has
to lose a life inside the Mint,

I will be the first one.

Until then, I won't let anyone die.

POLICE USE HOSTAGES AS HUMAN SHIELDS
INDISCRIMINATE RAID REVEALED

As the presumed leader
of the robbers said,

to date, there haven't been
any casualties in the hostage situation.

-What are you doing?
-I feel betrayed.

The Professor said not to watch TV.

Not the Professor again.

We're enjoying the moment a bit.

Don't be so uptight.

Hey, we totally got the police.

It's insane right now!

Especially Berlin at the end!
You totally k*lled it!

If the leader says turn it off,
we turn it off.

Huh?

Come on, man.
You were having fun watching it too.

So I think that was enough

to win over the public opinion
that the Professor stressed so much about.

You did well, Berlin.

What's wrong? Did something happen again?

I've got…

Look,

I've got dirt!

Does this mean
you're done with the digging?

We're almost done printing money too.

In three days,
we can get out of this f*cking place!

It's almost over, right?

We'll leave with the money…

For a moment, we were full of hope.

But not all of us.

You're here just to change the bandage?

Isn't it obvious?

At this late hour?

Once you get out, forget about everything
that happened here.

How could I even do that?

You're right.

You don't go through this every day.

I'm sorry.

That's not what I--

Just keep working
like nothing ever happened.

And please date a decent guy, okay?

I'm going to

quit the Mint.

Why?

Damn it. Because of that director as*h*le?

That son of a b*tch.
I'm going to shut that--

I can't accept this.
I should be the one taking responsibility.

What can we do?

Public opinion is so negative.
And it's not like I have any say in this.

The higher-ups thought
it'd be best to end things like this--

Isn't it because you can't find
a replacement if you fire me?

Please tell those higher-ups

that I'll quit
if they replace Captain Cha.

Inspector.

You don't have to do this.
I agreed with their call.

I'm the one responsible,
so it's right that you stay, not me.

You're just gonna give up?

Who said I was giving up?

I intend to find the Professor.

Is there a way to find him?

This may not be
the best time to bring this up,

but when did you first meet
that Park Sunho guy?

Sunho?

He barged into the TF tent last time.

Captain Cha!

It's true that

I haven't known him for long,
but he's not the type to hurt anyone.

And most of all,
he's someone that I trust and love.

But still--

Stop the nonsense and get some sleep.
See you tomorrow morning.

They can't fire us both,
so they'll probably call it off.

Inspector!

SEON WOOJIN

I'll heat it up for you. Hold on.

Enjoy.

-How much?
-Must be a popular place.

-This is so good.
-This is so popular.

-Can I have this too?
-One more, please.

Come eat here. Come.

How much for one?

-You want a Tteok-kkochi?
-Over here!

Over here!

Wow, looks so good.

Yay!

Did you drink a lot?

A little.

Are you going to be okay?
Drinking like that?

I need to shake it all off

to get back to fighting.

You told me to lean on you, right?

You just wait.

I might get drunk
and cry my eyes out later.

What the hell.

I should get drunk before you do.

That won't be easy.

Woojin was able
to forget about reality for a bit

while she was with the Professor.

It was the same for him too.

He was no longer the robbers' leader
but an ordinary café owner.

And at that moment,
sitting across from her,

he didn't feel any confusion or guilt.

Doesn't it feel like
we're a real couple, walking like this?

I must be drunk.

I'm hearing music out of nowhere.

Woojin.

You know, the Mint case…

Can't you just quit that case?

What are you saying?

It's just that…

you seem exhausted.

The Professor was surprised
by the words he blurted out.

For the plan's sake,
Inspector Seon was not supposed to quit.

Should I really?

But it's so weird.

I was really so exhausted.

I was even hoping
that they'd just fire me.

So, why do I feel so cheery?

It's my mom. One second.

Yes, Mom.

I think I'll be a little late tonight.
