Send intel... Send, send, send!
What else do they want me to send?
All we see is troops arrive here in droves,
from Kim Dubong's men to the Chinese army, day after day!
And how about Pyeongyang?
The communists here are building an army through their own military academy, and what?
They want more intel? What else? And how?
You're not only an official member of the Joseon Labor Party,
but also the Security Department, so how about it?
Isn't it time you finally change your mind?
Let's stop groveling at those imperialist Yankees's feet and join the revolution, right?!
Enough.
I knew you had ideological issues from the very beginning.
You can try to fool the US Army, but it won't work with me.
Don't you like the sound of that word, "people"?
When will you stop subjecting me to all this whining?
Whining?
Whining...
Whining.
I'm haunted by nightmares every single night, and you know what they're about?
You kicking that door and bringing the Security Department here to arrest me.
"There's a reactionary spy hiding in here! Arrest him at once!"
Have you heard about the young activists the south sent to Pyeongyang?
You mean the Kangdong Political Academy?
They'll send them back south once their special training is complete.
Looks like they'll form squads of fifty.
To engage in guerrilla warfare...
Seems like they've already decided on the day and place of contact past the 38th.
You should find that intel in the archives of the security department.
Are you sure? When did you hear this?
If we leak that intel, they'll catch them in the blink of an eye, won't they?
And maybe some of them could be shot.
Youngsters barely in their twenties... It's a shame, isn't it?
- US Military Government Headquarters - (Seoul)
Your husband doesn't know about what happened between you and Mr. Jang, right?
Aren't you going home?
It's a relief Mister Jang is not here,
or else how could you be able to face him every day?
- You should go. - Oh my, look at me...
I guess I must have hit a nerve...
Try to understand.
I've been seeing an American, and I guess I'm beginning to behave like him.
You know Americans tend be like that. Honest and straight to the point.
So you're getting married, right?
Maybe you should have gotten yourself an American, too.
They'd never care whether you've lost your virginity or not.
They don't call it the land of the free for nothing.
- I'll get going. - Yes.
Turn around. Turn around!
Oh?! Where did you get this?
Stealing again, uh? Come on, I'm taking you with me.
Have dinner.
Where are you going?
Honey!
When is the next report for the north due?
- I can't say... Maybe next week? - Try to speed up things.
And remember this. Desert island, seagulls,
US Military Government spy, and a Security Department man leaking intel.
Is that all you've got?
Think I'd find his name there?
- Still, you did find spy in there... - What time is it?
Ten to one.
- Goddamn... - When was it again, at two?
They must be out of their mind!
Sending fifty of them all at once...
Whose idea was it?
If they get caught, the entire organization risks being exposed.
They must be found before they reach their contact point.
And bear in mind that they'll have security all over the place.
Go.
Are you leaving already? And breakfast?
No, I'm fine.
Daechi!
I've got something for you to do, and it's important.
I'm sure you'll do fine.
Among the coded messages was one mentioning a desert island and seagulls.
Find who this is for me.
He's their spy in Pyeongyang. You understand what I'm saying?
There's no time.
The more time we waste, the more dangerous it'll become for us.
You understand?
Good. Find out whatever it takes.
What was his name, Hialty?
You could go out for dinner with him.
It'll take me about four days, so have that name by the time I'm back.
- Pyeongyang -
Our priorities are eradicating all the vestiges of the colonial era,
and fostering our people's cultural identity through education,
and to achieve that we must firmly deal with illiteracy,
by opening schools and promoting a strong founding ideology.
So take these talking points as the basis for your report.
I knew you had no peers when it came to this.
How can you come up with such brilliant ideas so quickly?
Let's get to work, we need to finish it by tomorrow.
- Pyeongyang Military Academy -
So he's always home after work...
Yes, with the exception of occasional meetings with a certain Ahn Myeongji,
he never leaves his house.
Ahn Myeongji?!
- That interpreter? - Right.
There's a mole at the Security Department.
If not Jang Harim, who else could it be?
Who would be capable of it?
Yes.
Comrade Jang, it's for you.
Yes, Jang Harim speaking.
That...
It's the Daedong River.
Don't just sit there looking all scared.
Because if anyone needs a serious dose of self-criticism, that's me.
You're drunk. Let's get going.
I'm not... I'm just pretending.
All right, then.
I'll go ahead first, so take a breather and then follow me.
Our intel is being leaked.
What do you mean?
I've really had it with you...
Do I only get to talk to you when it's about extreme situations like this?
Our intel is being leaked?!
All the intel we're sending down south is being reported back up north.
No way...
I spent the whole night drinking with Soviet officers.
They looked like they enjoyed it.
I couldn't tell you this on the phone,
so I had to call you and say it before I got sober.
Your only choice is running away.
It's only a matter of time before you're exposed.
There might even be people waiting for you at the office.
"Hey... Yankee spy. Shall we have a word?"
Get up now.
To be really honest... I am drunk.
I told you... Been drinking all night long.
I'll be damned. Why does it take so long to sober up...
Get changed first.
You can't sleep with wet clothes on.
That same Daedong River...
is exactly where I spread my father's ashes.
Not only he was a pro-Japanese collaborator, but also a bourgeois.
After he was tried in the People's Court, they executed him.
I had a younger brother, but he was killed when he enlisted as a student-soldier.
It was my father who forced him to go, even though it was against his will.
He said he did it...
to show loyalty to the empire.
Right about when I was coming home from my studies in the Soviet Union,
my father was standing trial at the People's Court.
So I went there and criticized him before everyone else.
I said he was an enemy of the people, a collaborator who sacrificed his own son,
and nothing more than a reactionary.
He was executed, and I managed to survive.
You know? They even complimented me.
As a passionate and faithful party member.
I never had anything against communism.
It's all the ideology behind it that I hate.
You know what I mean?
Communism this, ideology that... All those doctrines.
I hate the fact that ideals hold more importance than people.
Ideologies, doctrines, "isms."
Do you even realize how much of a fool such things can make out of you?
Don't throw butts all over the place.
So what happened... What's going on?
Stop sending intel to the south for a while.
- Just get what they send you. - What?
Can we even stay here?
We might be able to get intel on the People's Army's state of readiness.
Jang Hyung...
It's the last time.
Let's do this one last time.
Come in.
Then we won't have to do much. You understand what I'm trying to say here?
Thank you.
Is there something you want to say?
What to do here...
I'm afraid I'll have to get off early today... Can I leave these ones with you?
Give them here.
What can I say to thank you...
This.
I'm always grateful for these.
If Mister Jang were here, you'd get entire boxes of these.
It's none of my business, but you lost quite a catch.
Why would someone of his status risk it all to go there?!
I've heard he volunteered?
You didn't know?
Why, where did he go?
My... So you didn't!
Then, just pretend I never mentioned it.
I just overheard it while bringing in some documents.
You know that it's secret, don't you?
Where did he go?
My... Why are you looking at me that way?
Did I send him?
It's pretty obvious, actually.
He made up his mind once you dumped him for that other man, so...
I asked you where he went!
You said you know. So just tell me.
He went to Pyeongyang, why?
I know I shouldn't say this,
but you cause a man to go risk his life and you don't even know about it?
Remember the papers.
You insolent little son of a bitch.
Did those collaborators kill your parents or something?
How dare you accuse me of groveling at their feet and betraying our nation?
What? You refuse to be questioned by a pro-Japanese detective?!
We barely get any sleep or food because of commie bastards like you,
and what?! Collaborator?
You arrogant little shit... Already full of it at your age...
How are things going?
He keeps trying to rile me up, so this can't go on any longer.
What was he, some liaison man?
Yes, he was caught while trying to make contact.
He's about to lose it, anyway.
I'll leave you to it.
He spoke.
Who did he say it was?
He was working under a man called Choi Daechi.
From where?
He's not really answering to any local district, and seems to move solo.
What do you mean?
That he's not a labor party member?
The man we caught is nothing more than a minion so he doesn't really know,
but if I can speculate, I'd say he directly answers to the north.
If you're right, this is serious.
Start by finding whatever you can about this Choi Daechi.
It might be an alias, so look at all possibilities.
Ohh... Right. Look at anyone arrested for left-wing activities.
Don't turn.
There... Stay there.
You can answer me, right?
Don't nod.
Did you find out who those codes are about?
No... Not yet.
Yeah, I'm sure it won't be easy.
Still, keep trying.
There's no one else who can find that out.
I've heard you're not handing over any documents as of late?
There's nothing of note, really.
Let us decide that!
Turn...
Turn around a little.
You've lost a lot of weight.
I'm sorry.
Honey, you...
Honey.
I asked who you are! Who said you could come in?
Hey!
Yoon Yeook?
We meet quite often...
You little...
Jang Harim, Yoon Yeook, and Choi Daechi.
I don't really get the whole picture here?!
Jang Harim works for the US Army Intelligence Department,
Choi Daechi was arrested in connection with the communist Yongsan railroad strikes,
and was later released after Jang Harim vouched for him.
And his wife happens to be Yoon Yeook.
So how should I interpret all this?
Yoon Yeook... I was born for this job.
What it means is that I can smell a rat a mile away.
And when it comes to this, the stench is unbearable!
It's starting to make me excited. You know what that means?
Where is that husband of yours?
I thought I told you?!
I haven't seen him in months.
I ought to...
The wife works for the Americans, and the husband is a commie.
So tell me, what do you do at the Intelligence Department?
I handle classified files.
And I'm going to report you.
I'll tell them you abducted me for no reason, and questioned me...
on my work at the Intelligence Department.
That you tortured me to get hold of that classified intel.
- January 8, 1948 - UN Supervisory Committee Visits Korea
- February 7, 1948 - Southern Labor Party Launches February 7 Demonstrations to Save the Motherland
- Number of Deaths, unknown - Detained, approx. 9000
Get up, we can't stop now!
- Leave him! - Yes.
Stop!
Stop there!
Let's go check over there.
Hiding here is not going to cut it anymore, so we should go up the mountains.
I got a message from up north.
No word yet on who desert island and seagulls refer to.
So they'd like something a little more specific.
Maybe Comrade Yoon is playing it a little too safe for this to work?
Is this what you were looking for?
How can you call me here? I told you to just ignore me!
I was exposed... That woman in my office found out.
She wants money. In exchange for keeping quiet.
Start giving her money, and she'll soon ask for more.
Allow me to meet my husband.
I can't go on doing this any longer.
Let me have a word with him, I'll tell him myself.
Get out of the way!
- Look... I was here first! - I said get it out of my way!
Say what? "I lost her, Sir"?!
All I ask you is to follow a single woman, and "I lost her, Sir"?!
It's not because she spotted me. I mean it.
There's no doubt she's a commie.
You know they all have their own way of making contact.
They always know that someone might be following them.
You really didn't need to bother...
I wasn't trying to intimidate you. I mean that.
Because honestly, I don't really care what you do with those documents.
And why would I? I'll soon be leaving for the US with Johnson, anyway.
Who cares whether this God-forsaken rathole is ruled by the right or the left...
This way, please.
This place is really classy.
What shall we have?
Can I order anything expensive?
[Closed for the day]
But what really concerns me are my mother and brothers.
If I could get some money for them before I leave, it'd rid me of a huge burden.
So let's just consider this a way to help each other.
And if you're doing that kind of work, money shouldn't be much of an issue.
Right?
Who are these people?
I suggest you get out of here.
Yeook!
- How much will it take? - What?
Will you give us that information if we give you what you ask?
Of course... But that depends...
Depends on what?
On how much it is.
"But that depends" on how much your information is worth.
From what we know, you don't seem to be handling anything of note...
But I take documents all over the building,
so I get to hear things.
For instance?
For instance...
You're from the leftist movement, I suppose?
So you and the north are on the same page, right?
I told Yeook about the spy they sent to the north.
My... I guess you don't know yet?!
Then... I suppose this would make for a good piece of intelligence?
Then, tell me a figure first.
Daechi...
Hey! What did you do to her?
We can contact the north right away, I hope?
Yes. We'll have to.
Let's do it today, then.
She said you knew about him?!
