VLADIVOSTOK
There's some Korean here. Says he wants to see the boss.
Were you the one who asked for me?
We're compatriots, right?
I'm Song Sunho.
Compatriots, my ass.
How'd you hear about us?
From the Internet.
I like that.
Okay, so why did you want to see me?
I'd like to buy a weapon.
But I need to see your boss in person.
I told you, I'm the boss.
Not you,
but Song Jungho from Pyongando.
I'd like to talk to him face-to-face.
Bastard…
Why are you looking for him?
Are you a cop?
I'll tell him in person.
I'll ask you one last time.
How do you know Song Jungho?
Because we're brothers.
Hey.
Hey!
Say that again.
What'd you just say?
Jungho.
You're Song Jungho, right?
Long time no see, Jungho.
You've grown so much.
So grown up now.
Go.
-Mom. -Go follow your father and brother.
They went first. We should hurry too.
Go.
Hide!
Defectors are crossing the river!
Over there!
Shoot them!
Jungho! Mom!
No!
Jungho!
Mom.
Mom!
Why'd you come looking for me now?
It looks like you were expecting some sort of family reunion…
but I don't even remember Father's face.
I don't blame you.
That's what you had to do to survive.
After 25 years in hell,
that's one lesson I learned very well.
Father…
He passed away.
Because of money.
Did he get scammed or something?
In order to get you out of camp
and bring you to South Korea,
we really needed a lot of money.
So Father…
died after being shot by a cop as he was robbing a bank.
What's all this?
The plan Father couldn't finish.
I want to finish it with you.
If Warden Jeon Yongsu doesn't show up, I'll rip this bitch into pieces!
Get me Warden Jeon Yongsu!
Otherwise, this bitch dies! Got it?
Get me Warden Jeon Yongsu!
Eight o'clock sharp!
Be here
at exactly eight o'clock.
-Move over. -They're coming out.
THE MINT HOSTAGE SITUATION LIVE
Didn't you say everything would be settled?
LIBERATE
-Search this area. -Yes, sir.
Ma'am, look at this.
LET'S REGAIN UNIFICATION STOLEN BY THE CAPITALISTS!
KIM SANGMAN
NORTH-SOUTH JOINT TASK FORCE FOR SITUATION AT THE MINT
Look over here too.
"Stop the closed-door talks and change the direction of unification"?
Like you said, these bastards weren't after the money.
LET'S LIBERATE THE KOREAN PENINSULA THROUGH REVOLUTION!
Something's off.
There's a bomb!
Another one here!
Here's one too!
-Hurry and evacuate everyone. -Yes, sir!
Ma'am, we need to leave now.
Let's go.
Damn it. I almost died a bachelor.
Yes.
Song Jungho did what?
Berlin is acting crazy.
That damn disease got to his brain.
-What should we do? -Relax.
Berlin is fine.
What?
I think I know why
Berlin did that.
Let's talk about the details later. I'm on my way now.
Prepare something for me in the meantime.
Search team!
Did something happen?
Everything is starting to make sense now.
This was their plan all along.
They took hostages at the Mint, keeping the public eye on them.
But their ultimate plan was to ruin the summit.
Are they planning a terrorist attack?
Wait, are they…
Something's not right.
If they wanted to hide the evidence
before we found out about their agenda, they would have blown up the place.
But the bomb
exploded after we arrived and found everything.
The fact that they left behind such a crucial clue…
They showed it to us on purpose?
Look at Song Jungho.
He kicks out one of his own out of nowhere.
And demands for Jeon Yongsu too.
They're doing things that attract attention
right when they lost communication with the Professor.
It's the opposite.
Because they lost communication with the Professor, they got hasty.
If you'd seen him, you'd agree with me.
The guy's a total nutcase.
We'll find out what's happening.
Real name, Ri Hongdan.
You're already a wanted woman. What an impressive record.
Cooperate with us, and we can reduce your sentence.
If we can end the hostage situation before the time Song Jungho demanded,
you won't be an attempted robber but a hero who saved dozens of hostages.
And we may be able to reduce your sentence by more than half.
How long is half a life sentence?
Fifty years? Forty years?
We found your hideout.
There was a lot of evidence that you all left behind.
"Let's regain the unity stolen by the capitalists."
"Let's liberate the Korean peninsula through revolution."
Judging from this, it seems that you all robbed the Mint
not for money
but for political purposes.
Fuck. What are you saying?
I crossed over because I was sick of this bullshit revolution.
Then I realized you can buy anything with money here.
I only joined because I was told I'd get a big payout.
You were in it for the money,
but the others weren't?
Those bastards took advantage of me.
Was there conflict among you?
Is that why you got kicked out?
That Berlin bastard framed me as a spy.
He's gone crazy because of his damn illness.
-Huntington's disease? -Yeah, that.
Maybe he ran out of medicine, but he suddenly started having seizures.
Pointing guns everywhere.
He called me a damn traitor.
That crazy bastard.
What?
Is there something on my face?
Bring them in!
What are you doing?
By protocol, I need to verify the credibility of your statement.
It's no big deal.
Shall we start over?
Why did you say you got kicked out?
You said they framed you as a spy, right?
That's right.
You said Berlin went crazy, right?
And that's why you were thrown out?
Correct?
Are you deaf?
Why are you making me repeat myself?
Let's talk about the Professor.
Who is he?
You've met him before, right?
Do you really think I know that?
You've met him before, right?
You wanna know about the Professor?
I'll tell you.
This is what he looks like.
He's got two eyes,
two ears…
and, most importantly,
one mouth.
So…
you're not going to cooperate?
What sort of cooperation do you expect when you treat people like this?
Go through proper procedures and come back with a deal I might like.
Then I'll give you all the info you want.
A deal you might like?
Fine.
One thing though.
Were you really kicked out?
Hey! I'm a victim too.
How many times do I have to say it? I'm a victim too!
Let go of me!
Hey, listen carefully.
If I see you again, I'll kill you.
Let go of me. I said let go!
What are you bastards looking at?
We can't transfer her now.
There's something more. We need to interrogate--
In that condition?
What if she had harmed you just now?
-But-- -There are a lot of reporters here.
Let's detain her and calm her down so we can interrogate her again, okay?
Get your hands off! Let me go!
Let go of me!
Fuck!
What the fuck are you looking at?
Get rid of the camera! Fuckers!
Let go!
That means the traitor is
Tokyo.
Tokyo!
-Tokyo! -No!
I'm the traitor.
I did it.
Is that true?
Why did you do it?
Huh?
How can you, of all people, sell us out?
I'm sorry.
I have a son.
When he was a newborn,
I sent him to a facility because I had to go to prison.
A son?
What you said before…
Kim Sangman took my kid, so I had no other choice.
I'm sorry.
It worked, right?
It's all good. See?
I told you it'd work.
What's going on?
What? Did you guys plan this?
Stop it.
That's enough.
In this situation, even if it wasn't Nairobi,
who wouldn't have done the same?
Don't worry about your kid.
I'll figure something out.
I planned to leave anyway.
We're going to send Tokyo out of the Mint,
pretending we had a conflict.
If you leave, the police will catch you right away.
-The Professor will get her out. -How's that possible?
That's not easy to do, even for the Professor.
Now that communication has been cut, our priority is to contact the Professor.
Tokyo will go out to inform him of the situation and take care of things.
And that includes the issue of Nairobi's son.
No, this isn't right. It's way too dangerous.
That's like telling her to go on a suicide mission.
That's why I'm saying I'll do it.
One of us has to do it anyway.
Tokyo…
The suspect was escorted to a detention center under tight security
and will be put under investigation.
Meanwhile, another suspect
and a vicious, wanted criminal, Song Jungho,
requested to have a private conversation with Jeon Yongsu,
and there is speculation that he is somehow involved in the matter.
Sedatives.
Not that it'll help much.
Hey, couldn't you tell me your plan beforehand?
You didn't trust me, did you?
I knew from the start that it wasn't you.
But in order to fool the others, I needed it to look real.
Your fuss about me sending Tokyo out…
That was real, wasn't it?
Tokyo… She'll be okay, right?
Trust her. She's stronger than most people.
Hey, but
what if the Professor doesn't catch on to our plan?
Frankly speaking, we're just gambling here.
That's right.
I've bet my life on this gamble.
And I'm sure the Professor will understand our intentions behind this.
How do you work this thing?
We're short-handed now.
We should print the money together.
Sure.
There are three stages of printing.
I'll run the machine and do the inspection.
Could you just move the sheets…
Oslo…
wouldn't blame you.
And neither will I.
How much longer?
We'll be there in ten minutes, sir.
-What's going on? -Sorry.
A car just popped out of nowhere. I'll check it out.
Everyone's armed!
HQ, this is convoy 137.
We're under attack right now! We need backup! HQ!
This is HQ. We can't hear you. Say that again!
-HQ! -What are they doing?
-It's a bomb! -Bomb?
They've installed explosives!
What's going on, huh?
-We're all going to die! -Pull yourself together!
We have to evacuate!
Get down!
Yes.
What?
Okay, understood.
They say the convoy hasn't arrived.
-Still? -What about the radio?
It got disconnected.
What the hell is happening?
They've attacked
the convoy.
What? Who?
The Professor couldn't have done it alone.
Which means they have associates capable of robbing a convoy and escort vehicles.
They have more associates on the outside?
Put the gun down!
Put the gun down if you want to live. Now!
Fuck.
Okay, don't shoot.
Put the guns away, or I'll shoot.
-Shoot me. -I said I'll shoot!
Shoot me.
Shoot!
Then you have no choice but to shoot because we're not dropping our guns.
And then, you'll die.
What's there to think about? Did you fall in love with her already?
You want to die with her?
Drop the gun!
Get down!
You heard about us, right?
I did, but I didn't know how much you'd be capable of.
Why didn't you come inside the Mint?
Because our boss is Berlin.
Nice to meet you. I'm Seoul.
Wait, what the hell is happening here?
It means they're an anti-government terrorist organization.
What are you doing here?
From now on, this case will be transferred to the South Korean Counterterrorism Unit.
Everyone but the chief in charge, please leave.
Says who?
I heard their hideout contained all the evidence.
It's clear that the robbers are terrorists with a political agenda.
We can't drag this on any longer.
The Koreas' fate depends on economic cooperation.
The higher-ups won't stand for this.
Ah, yes, Commissioner.
What is your plan?
Don't tell me…
I have a history with Song Jungho.
Do you know what you should never do when negotiating a hostage situation?
Bring the person they ask for.
This will make them unpredictable!
That's what we're after.
While Mr. Jeon Yongsu gets their attention,
the Counterterrorism Unit will raid them from the back.
Are you crazy? You'll put the hostages in danger!
Can you
take her out, please?
Come on!
It's an order from above. What can I do?
Go home and rest for now.
Whatever happens here will be over soon.
Do you think so?
What if their plan all along
was to release Ri Hongdan and bring in Jeon Yongsu?
In that mess? Without being able to communicate with the Professor?
Those bastards inside aren't idiots.
Think about it.
Right?
The convoy we lost contact with called in.
It's true they were attacked.
So they let her go on purpose.
But why?
To get in touch with the Professor? Or is there a problem they can't resolve?
Maybe it's because of the traitor? If not, then…
Oh, what I mean is…
-What are you looking at me for? -Huh?
You should get to work.
I don't know what Kim Sangman did to coax them,
but one of the robbers heard and tried to kill Anne.
So?
Who would kill after hearing they'd get their sentence reduced?
Right.
Kim Sangman might be holding the robbers' weak spot over them, right?
You think they sent someone to deal with that?
Tokyo, you did a great job.
Did you look into what I asked for?
There's a villa in Songsanri under a fictitious name.
It's in a secluded area, which makes it a perfect hideout.
Nairobi's kid is most likely hidden there.
There's not much time left until Berlin meets Jeon Yongsu.
1 HOUR 40 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING
The arrested suspect in the Mint robbery escaped during the escort
with the help of suspected accomplices.
Man, it's nice to see her even like this.
Hey, do you like her that much?
Didn't I tell you not to worry?
Was this the work of the mercenaries outside?
They're trustworthy guys.
How do you know that? The Professor never told us about that.
I know well.
They are the ones who would follow me even into hell.
What? Those mercenaries…
They were working for you?
Damn it!
Maybe we shouldn't have acted out.
What are you talking about now?
Didn't you hear earlier? He asked for a politician!
He's gone crazy!
If things don't go their way, these bastards might kill us all.
I'm hungry.
Hey, Mr. Park,
should we just give in and get the dining staff to work?
Listen, since the cafeteria isn't running,
we're having something simple.
This is all we have.
Potatoes.
You still want to eat without earning your keep?
Quit it.
Hey, what are you waiting for? Come and eat.
You weasel. You don't get any. Damn.
Aren't you all hungry?
Even if we're fighting, you gotta eat.
Come on.
Okay. Let's go.
You two are like Romeo and Juliet, aren't you?
Get back to reality and eat.
-Mr. Park. -Yes.
Speculation over the Mint hostage crisis is that it is politically motivated.
Yes, according to an anonymous source,
the clues left at the robbers' hideout
suggest that the Mint hostage crisis is not just a robbery
but rather a crime that has a political agenda.
Song Jungho's calling for Jeon Yongsu, head of North Korean economic cooperation,
also reinforces that analysis.
Why did he call for Jeon Yongsu?
His prior service as a warden of a concentration camp
seems to be the issue.
But that was before…
We've arranged for you to evacuate if things become too dangerous.
No need to make a fuss.
Wouldn't it be advantageous for the operation if I buy you more time?
30 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING
In the meantime, Jeon Yongsu…
Yeah, did you find anything?
The people behind Kim Sangman during the broadcast
weren't all the hostage family members.
Who were those people?
They're the families of the robbers who we identified.
Sim Youngmun's son was among them but didn't return.
-They're using the broadcast as an excuse. -He's threatening her with her child?
Where would he have taken him, then?
I know a place he'd go to do shady stuff like that.
How?
I lived with that person for many years.
10 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING
Who are you people?
Us?
Well,
what do you think?
I know that at least four of you
are heavily armed
with weapons like the North Korean AK-105.
Did you figure that out from just the sound?
As expected…
Are you going to start an armed revolution?
A revolution…
What took so long?
I had to avoid the checkpoints on the way.
We're here.
The kid's on the second floor.
Security looks airtight.
We don't have time.
We have to follow the Professor's rules.
Rubber bullets.
I've never seen such a stubborn man.
Except for Berlin.
Can you see me clearly?
Let's go.
It's time. Let's go.
MEETING TIME
JEON YONGSU ARRIVES AT THE MINT NEGOTIATES WITH THE ROBBERS
Long time no see.
Is that so?
Not for me.
Because even after I escaped the camp and became free,
I saw you in my dreams every night.
Now I'll become your nightmare.
Moving in.
What the hell?
Hey, you bastard!
You bastard!
Watch out!
It's now.
Is everyone all right?
I think we got this place settled.
I'll take that ugly mask off of you today.
Would revealing the past change anything?
Look at this situation here.
What is all this?
I heard you don't even have electricity.
So, isn't it over now?
Why don't we stop this and leave together?
Comrade,
tell everyone what you did
at Concentration Camp 14.
I merely carried out the duties that my country bestowed on me.
Duty?
You starved them like dogs.
Tortured and even killed!
What sort of sacred duty was that? Answer me.
Let's pretend…
that I did all those things.
But haven't I already paid the price for that?
Didn't you already get your revenge against me?
What?
My daughter worked as a camp medic.
You raped her,
then burned her alive!
Is that true?
HOSTAGE SONG JUNGHO DEMANDS TO "REVEAL JEON YONGSU'S PAST''
-Oh my God. -How could that happen?
Good, he's doing great.
Isn't he provoking him too much?
-What if someone dies because of-- -It'd be a necessary sacrifice.
No one will say anything when the situation is over.
Why? Because people want a hero.
The media will be busy talking about your achievements.
-What is this? -Wow, what is that?
Dongchul.
Send backup over here now!
Who are you?
I'm your mom's friend.
I came to pick you up because your mom was worried about you.
Do you want to go with me?
I knew this was too easy to be true.
Don't move.
We came to rescue the kid.
I know, but this isn't going to turn you into heroes.
It's okay.
That lady is a cop.
If you follow her, she'll protect you from the scary guys.
What?
She's a good person.
Right?
She's right.
I'm not a bad person.
Come here.
Okay?
Don't do anything stupid!
You're not gonna shoot in front of a kid, are you?
Then don't make me.
Kim Sangman's dogs are going to wake up soon.
Protecting the child is priority, no?
Of course, the treatment in North Korean camps was bad.
Most of the people were starving to death outside,
so you can only imagine what it was like on the inside.
I am to blame, but I already paid for those crimes.
She was my stepdaughter,
but she was more important than my life.
I lost her because of my crimes.
Why don't you cut the crap?
Take a look at this.
This is all because someone took one of our colleagues' only son
and threatened to kill him.
Fortunately, as you can see, we just saved the child
and handed him over safely to the police.
And what Jeon Yongsu is saying right now
is all a lie.
How do we know?
Because I'm the stepdaughter he says was more precious…
MINT ROBBERY SUSPECT LIVE VIDEO OBTAINED
…than his own life.
He raped me when I was a child
and had me work as a medic at the camp so he could keep me by him.
Even if he killed and tortured people for fun…
no one there could defy him.
Except for just one person. Song Jungho.
Song Jungho wasn't afraid of him.
When I fell in love with him,
Jeon Yongsu tried to kill us both,
and Song Jungho started a riot to save me.
And now,
as if he's a preacher of peace…
He was lying.
…he's here for the summit.
And who brought him into it?
That is
leader of the Unified Future Party and Chairman of the Special Committee,
Congressman Kim Sangman.
He's the bastard who threatened Nairobi with her kid
and ordered her to kill Anne.
What is that?
Well, what should we do?
Take him out of there.
Get him out!
What are those people trying to gain by killing this kid?
Economic cooperation? Peaceful reunification?
Or seeing the North and South living peacefully together?
No.
They don't care about things like that.
This summit was all a ploy so they could get richer.
Look.
What is money?
It's just paper.
You can make as much of it as you want here.
But if the ones who decide
how much to print and where to use it are robbers,
shouldn't this be stopped?
Because this house of paper has always belonged to the people.
LIVE IN FRONT OF THE MINT
-Now! -Oh, what's that?
Now, who's the thief,
and who's the real owner?
Is this true?
Please make a comment.
Jeon Yongsu left the scene without any comment.
Hurry and find out.
Berlin, that was amazing!
You did a great job.
Hey.
What's wrong?
How long does Berlin have?
I don't know.
Did he go to the Mint in search of a place to die?
If he's really thinking of doing something awful like that…
I'll kill him first.
Kim Sangman claims the robbers lied to incite the public,
and he was only taking measures to protect the child.
I knew he would say that.
Even if Sim Youngmun testifies, he'll feign ignorance.
Okay, I'm on my way. I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Ma'am.
Yes?
Are Mom's friends back there bad people?
Is my mom bad too?
It's time.
Let's go.
Don't be too scared.
Berlin has it all planned out.
Why would he do that and drag me into it?
You'll find out soon.
Whatever happens,
you won't get hurt.
The bomb that went off to kill me…
Was that all a show too?
No, I did that on purpose.
I had no other choice.
Kim Sangman threatened me.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe anything
any of you say anymore.
Here. Sorry.
Dammit!
Potatoes again?
At least give us some kimchi.
If you don't like it, should I take it back?
Hey, it's better than being hungry.
What's wrong with you?
You have to eat to keep your strength up.
Share this with her.
Yes, thank you.
Here, let's eat.
Was it because of your son?
I was so glad that you didn't run away and came back.
Thank you.
For staying alive.
Okay, let's eat.
What are you doing? Come on!
You have to leave some for other people.
What is it?
I'm in pain.
Huh?
I don't think it's infected.
Does it hurt a lot?
I didn't say that's where it hurts.
What do you mean?
What do you want from me?
When are you going to stop avoiding me?
When did I do that?
It's not that I couldn't leave.
I chose not to.
What? Are you crazy?
I must be going crazy.
What are you doing here?
Oh, I'm treating her.
The wound is a little infected.
Well, I'm all done.
Your dad's looking for you. I'll take her back, so go find him.
Okay, I got it.
I took the kid back safely.
Send some officers to guard the orphanage for a while.
Okay. And Kim Sangman won't be able to do anything now.
What do we do now?
What?
-We're really not going to do anything? -What can we do?
We've been ordered to do so.
Ma'am.
We let Ri Hongdan escape,
and not only are we unable to catch the Professor,
we're just being played by them.
I can't say I'm not to blame.
Well, you might as well go home and rest, then.
Otherwise, you'll faint.
Sure.
You should take it easy too.
By the way…
we're all here for the money, right?
Because you sounded like you meant what you said to Jeon Yongsu.
Did I?
That's all part of the plan.
Plan? What plan?
"This house of paper has always belonged to the people?"
What the hell is all that crap?
We're the ones stuck here, breaking our backs
and risking our lives to print this money.
So, why does that belong to the people?
Well, that…
I'm not interested in grand plans.
Rio.
I don't know why you came in here, risking your life,
but don't drag us into it.
Don't mess up the Professor's operation for nothing.
It's for my brother.
Brother?
Yeah, the reason I came here, risking my life.
It's to make sure my brother's plan is a success.
Are you saying the Professor is…
Making this look like a revolution
is all part of the plan.
Political criminals?
Can we do that?
If we succeed in being seen as political criminals,
it'll be the foundation for escape.
Huh?
The authorities will panic
and will be convinced that our goal is to stop the summit.
If Seoul and the mercenaries make their presence known,
they won't be able to rule out the possibility
of armed forces trying to commit terrorist attacks at the summit.
Kim Sangman and his party will manipulate the media and try to hide the truth.
The people who already know the truth will come to the streets to cheer us on.
THE HOUSE OF PAPER IS OURS
If that happens, the stage for our final act is complete.
That's the Professor's plan. And my plan too.
Wait, then
why have you been hiding that you're brothers?
I told him we should hide it.
If we hadn't, the Professor's identity would've been revealed
when Nairobi betrayed us.
What are you two doing?
All the hostages are gathered.
Hostages? What about the hostages?
We should get ready to welcome Tokyo.
What did you say?
If anyone wants to leave,
I'll let you leave.
However,
for the hostages who stay and help us, in return,
we'll give
three billion won each.
Three billion won?
