Iris (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

For their first assignment, Hyun Joon and Sa Woo must stop a planned assassination on the South Korean President.

Secure the interrogation room
and release the tranquilizing gas.

Leave him.

He's mentally unstable.

He could be dangerous.

Give me his test results.

Sa-woo!

Sa-woo!

Sa-woo!

Sa-woo!

Sa-woo!

Sa-woo!



Sa-woo, Sa-woo. Wake up, Sa-woo.

Sa-woo.

Sa-woo, wake up boy!

That's not going to work.

Welcome to the NSS.

Where am I?

I just told you, we're the NSS.

We are known as
the National Security Service.

Well...

The peace of the nation?

Let's just say this is where people defeat
the enemies that threaten the nation.

It's not that different from
the task force that you were in.

Except,

the existence of the NSS
isn't disclosed to the public.



Why are you doing this to us?

I'm sure you've gone through a lot
in the last few hours.

Let's say it's a rite of passage
to become an NSS member.

Although the nation has chosen you,

you have the right to decline.

If you want to give up,

you may leave now.

The NSS has been testing
your competence for a long time.

We came to the conclusion
that you two are qualified to be agents,

and you have just passed the final test.

If you decide to be our agents,

you'll go through
special training programs

for the next six months
before being sent out on the field.

I hope you'll make a prudent decision.

NATIONAL SECURITY SERVICE

Hey,

relax.

We're in the center of Seoul.

Just relax.

I'm Sang-hyun Park, secretary
of the NSS counter terrorism division.

First of all,

I'd like to congratulate you
on becoming NSS agents.

Introduce yourselves.

I'm Tae-sung Hwang.

I'm Mi-jeong Yang.

Mi-jeong Yang is

the best hacker in Korea.

She'll help you
with computer related tasks.

Tae-sung Hwang

will support you in every other aspect
when you're carrying out your missions.

You two may leave now.

This is

Seung-hee Choi, your team leader.

She's also our expert profiler.

You'll need her help a lot
to quickly adapt to the NSS.

You'll also be learning
profiling techniques

which is necessary on your assignments.

I'll leave first.

You three talk here.

Right, you know we're visiting
the Deputy Director's house today, right?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

I'll be right back.

Sir,

may I talk to you for a second?

Did you plan this from the beginning?

Did you approached me
with all these intentions?

Sa-woo.

Everyone can see

what you're doing to me right now.

There's no dead zone in the NSS
that cameras don't cover.

You're right.

I contacted you
because I wanted to recruit you.

But,

now you understand

why I had to conceal my identity, right?

You still shouldn't have done this to me.

Although I was well trained in the force,
I almost died!

Hey,

I've been through the same thing. Okay?

You did well.

Let's have a drink together, okay?

Did you show up in the classroom

on purpose in the first place?

That's right.

That was a necessary process

for me to profile you.

Why don't you become an actress?
I'll be your manager.

I'm sure we'll make a lot of money.

I do become an actress
when it's required to complete a mission.

How was my acting skills?

Are you joking with me now?

I believe that you're aware
of the rules you need to comply with

as NSS agents as you went through
the orientation.

You never know when you'll be
sent to carry out missions.

So you must always be on standby.

And there won't be
individual profiling training sessions

as Secretary Park has mentioned.

I'll tell you what to do
while you're on duty

when it's needed.

Any questions?

Let's go to meet with
the Deputy Director then.

It was a harsh test, wasn't it?

Both Secretary Park and I
couldn't disclose our identities.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I understand now.

Let's go.

Okay.

What did she say?

Well...

Nothing special.

Sir!

- How are you, sir?
- You're here.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir.

Nice to have you here.

You've been through a lot.

I just wanted to have dinner with you.

We're honored

to be served with your dishes
and tea today.

I'm afraid that we're giving you
extra work all day.

Please, don't mention it.
I hope you liked it.

We really enjoyed it, ma'am.

- You did?
- Yes.

I don't know about anything else,
but my wife is a great cook.

It was really tasty.

Please teach me how to cook next time.

They're rookies. How do they look?

They look competent, don't they?

I don't really know about your jobs,

but you two are very handsome.

Seung-hee is beautiful as well.

I guess your company prefers
only good looking people.

I've only invited handsome people,
but not everyone is like them.

When will we be assigned
with our first mission?

Why?

Are you raring to go?

Really?

Be patient.

Things will come up soon.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

The Deputy Director's wife

doesn't seem to know at all
what his job really is.

That's why he's scary. Okay?

Although it hasn't been long for me,

it's been really hard
to keep my job a secret from my wife.

But the Deputy Director has kept it
a secret for more than 30 years.

No ordinary person can do that.

He's indeed very unyielding.

Although he is
the deputy director in title,

he's practically the head of the NSS.

A new person takes over
the title of a director

every time a new president is elected.

Let's have a toast.

The final decision can be changed
according to Secretary Oh's analysis.

Let's discuss the details tomorrow.

Okay.

Why are you here?

You said you observed and profiled me.

Then you must have
found out something. What is it?

I can't tell you.

You ought to apologize for mocking me.

You're such an ill-mannered grump.

Watch your language. I'm your superior.

I've done nothing to apologize for.

If you really have to know,
I'll tell you.

You're being so condescending
and trying to act macho,

but that's only to cover up
old wounds or painful memories.

And you're egocentric all the time.

That's also caused
by underlying self-defense mechanism.

And...

You've fallen for me at first sight.

But that's too bad.

The NSS strictly prohibits
relationships between agents,

and even if it's allowed,

you're not my type.

I don't know what your painful past is,

but I absolutely abhor people

who act macho.

And let me get this straight again.

I am your superior.

If you ever dare to...

Hyun-jun Kim.

Please follow me.

I'll be right back.

There's no need to worry about that.

This is the only place in the NSS
where there are no cameras.

I see.

Is there...

anything you want to
secretly talk to me about?

Hyun-jun Kim.

Do I look easy to you?

If not, do you think the NSS is a joke?

Keep in mind that I'm your superior,

and the NSS never allows
romantic relationships to develop

between agents.

Hold on, ma'am.

Do you know why I joined the NSS?

To be honest,

I don't care about
the loyalty the NSS asks for.

It's no different from
when I was in the special task force.

What motivated me
to carry out all the dangerous missions

with my life at risk

wasn't patriotism
or anything like that at all.

I just felt

that I found something interesting
for the first time.

After I managed to get in the force,

I realized

that I was destined to be a soldier.

And I've decided to join the NSS

because this dangerous
and complicated organization

seemed very simple to me.

If I just risk my life,

I thought I could keep the job
that I find interesting

and that I think I'm meant for.

I...

don't have such loyalty

or patriotism

as an agent.

But once I make up my mind,
I never give up.

I've never thought
that you're an easy person

ever since we first met in the classroom.

And I'm serious about this.

Well then,

I'll get back to work.

Ma'am,

what are you staring at?

It's nothing.

UNDERWATER SOUND AMBIENT MODELLING

Are you not leaving?

You're not done yet?

I should finish this.

As our job is very sensitive,

we perform autopsies that the
National Forensic Service can't handle.

It's too noisy to fall asleep!

He is Secretary Oh
of the Forensic Science Division.

What is this?

What?

I see.

Are they the new guys?

Yes.

I'm Hyun-jun Kim.

I'm Sa-woo Jin.

Okay.

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it

that in the process

he does not become a monster."

This is what Nietzsche said.

Keep this in mind.

You can leave now.

I need some more sleep.

Everyone here has some issues.

Now the NSS has one more psycho.

I'm sure things will go smoothly here.

What did you mean by that?

What?

The Nietzsche's quote.

I've read the profile

of Hyun-jun Kim,

and he's highly likely to be a monster.

No, he's far from that.

Although he pretends to be tough,
he's very innocent.

What?

Did you already fall for him?

No way.

My goodness.

Are you going out?

Yes.

Where?

Well...

You know.

What are you doing today?

I'll just idle away my time at home.

If you have time on your hands,
why don't you tidy up the room

and do the laundry.

Why don't you do that?

Do you need anything else?

A bottle of wine is enough.

Okay. See you soon.

What brings you here?

Oh, well...

You know...

I was thinking about applying
the general data mining techniques

to behavioral analysis.

But I wasn't so sure about it.

Well...

You said I could ask

anytime if I have questions
about profiling.

This is Sa-woo Jin.

Okay.

It's the NSS.

This is Yamamoto Takashi.

He's been classified as a possible
terrorist and is being investigated

by not only the NSS,
but also the Japanese Cabinet.

He'll arrive in Korea

via Incheon airport at 11:35 a.m.

Mi-jeong, brief us
on his personal information.

He doesn't have
an accurate birth certificate.

He's estimated to be 45 years old.

He is Japanese with Syrian citizenship.

When the Japanese Red Army
declared its disbandment,

some remaining members formed
a new organization.

Takashi is known to be the successor
of that organization.

When was the last known terror attack?

It's presumed that they destroyed
a US military facility in Okinawa,

when the US opened the army
to the public in 1999.

If he's that dangerous,

can the government deny his entry to Korea
or arrest him at the airport?

It's not that simple.

We need to know why he's visiting Korea.

If he came here
to launch a terrorist attack,

that means his accomplices
whom we haven't identified

are already in Korea.

This will be

the first official mission.

For agents Hyun-jun Kim and Sa-woo Jin,

Find out the purpose of his visit,
those in contact with him,

and his expected destinations
during the visit.

Mi-jeong and Tae-sung, back them up.

ARRIVAL

TOKYO, NARITA

He's on the move.

Sa-woo, what are you doing?

Is the result ready?

Ma'am.

Ta-da.

This is for you.

What is it?

It's a tracking device

we requested in the past
from the R&D Team.

This is a perfect device

that's capable of wireless transmission.

He's at the last baccarat table
across the main doorway.

Where is he?

Pair zero, banker natural eight.

Banker wins.

You're really good.

Are you a professional gambler?

Open.

Pair five.

Race.

Wow.

You're amazing.

Yes, I am.

Why don't you come to my room
and have a glass of champagne with me?

Well then, let's go.

Please keep these with my chips.

Thank you very much.

Gambling is never easy.

What is she thinking?

Is she planning to give herself to him?

Please just be quiet.

Let's have a kiss
to celebrate today's victory.

Oh,

why don't you take a shower first?

Well then, let's do it together.

No way. That's too embarrassing.

You can go first.

Okay. I understand.

I installed a GPS device on his phone.

I'll meet him tomorrow again,
and you two can support me.

I was a bit surprised.

You told me to become an actress.

See you tomorrow.

I'm about to meet the target. Standby.

How do you like it?

What about this one?

- I'll go inside and try this.
- Okay.

Really? Okay.

He's on the phone right now.

He might be talking about where to meet.

Tap his phone.

Really? Okay.

Who the hell are you?

What? What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Hurry!

Go!

Now!

Emergency. Emergency.

Please track his location.

My current location is W345 and E234.

He's running to the front gate.

The position is revised
to grid 354, west 234.

Collect the data of all the buildings
and roads within a five-kilometer radius.

Two seconds until data upload.

Target spotted. Target spotted.

The target is running to a shopping mall.

Display the building's image
on the screen.

Alley on your right, 25 meters ahead.

The gate on the left of the stairs.

The target is moving to
the first door of the basement.

The target is running
through the back door.

He's moving northwards.

Where is he?

I lost him.

I'll let you know
as soon as I find his location.

Secure all available CCTV cameras
in Itaewon.

Check TK1's current location.

TK1, report your location.

I'm 50 meters away from

Itaewon station exit number four.

Target found.

TK1, to your seven o'clock.

The target is at the gate
behind the building.

He's moving towards the intersection.

He's within 50 meters from you.

Do not lose him this time.

Target spotted.

On a CCTV camera.

The target is entering the restaurant.

Check the traffic conditions

and find out his possible escape routes.

He is moving toward Hannam intersection.

Through the industrial complex
on Gueui Street.

Roadwork, 100 meters ahead.

He's likely to change his direction
to the main street.

The target is off the bike
and is moving eastward.

To your 11. To your 11.

The target has gone into
Seongsu station.

Doors closing.

Move, move aside!

Move!

What happened to him?

Move, move away!

- Is he dead?
- What's happening?

- Is that blood?
- Is he dead or what?

Huh?

Well...

The bullet traveled downwards

between cervical vertebra one
and the occipital bone.

When a spinning bullet

enters a cranial bone,

its rotation radius widens,

damaging the occipital,
temporal and parietal lobes,

thus destroying the entire frontal lobe.

Do you want to see?

No, thank you, sir.

This...

must have been done by a professional.

It seems like Takashi

was going to meet his contact
at Seongsu Station.

But the contact

saw that we were after Takashi.

So he killed Takashi and disappeared.

Considering that he had a contact here,

it's obvious that he came to Korea
to launch a terror attack.

Have you identified the target
Takashi was after?

Not yet, sir.

Put an end to it as soon as possible,
before things get worse.

We've thoroughly reviewed the places
he had been in Korea, his belongings,

and even all his records,

but we have failed to identify
any target he planned to attack.

Possible prime targets
we've came up with are,

first, the President,

second, the U.S. ambassador,

and lastly, the Chief Cabinet Secretary
who is currently on a visit to Korea.

We've informed the Office of
Presidential Security

and the U.S. and Japan embassies

about the possible danger.

Although the existence
of a terrorist is confirmed,

such speculations are too vague.

Well...

I think

one of the presidential candidates

might be the target.

What makes you think that?

Well...

There's no evidence of that.

But what I felt
when I was tailing Takashi...

What are you talking about?

Are you saying

that we should devise plans
based on your hunch?

We need to take every possibility
into account...

It's already confusing enough.
Stop talking nonsense!

You two,

stay out of this mission

and be on standby.

Hunches of agents are often
more accurate than lab analysis.

And I'm the one who decides

whether to use the two agents or not.

Seung-hee Choi,

what's the matter with you?

The three of you,

be on standby for now.

Are you really going to just sit here?

What an easy way
to turn a person into a fool.

Where are you going?

Can you get me the election campaign
schedules of the presidential candidates?

What for?

Just find it for me.

Yes, sir.

- Myung-ho Cho!

Why are we here?

I just wanted to come here.

Damn it, you just got reprimanded.

Myung-ho Cho is having a speech here.

He's the front runner
in the presidential election.

Where would you be if you were him?

- Myung-ho Cho!
- Myung-ho Cho!

Right there.

Same here.

Go there.

Where?

Where you think a sniper would be.

What about you?

I'll protect the target.

Hyun-jun, hold on.

This is Sa-woo Jin.

I have a favor to ask you.

I can't.

You were on a mission last time,

but not this time.

I'll get in serious trouble.

I know. Please do it for me.

Ma'am...

What is it?

Don't worry. I'll take
responsibility for it.

Can you zoom in there?

Take a look.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Black.

Yes.

You got it.

I'm on my way.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

You did a great job.

Thank you.

That was

a total fluke.

We still pulled it off anyway.

Does it matter?

Hyun-jun Kim, Sa-woo Jin!

-Yes, sir -Yes, sir

The drinks tonight are on me.
Drink until you're dead drunk.

Thank you, sir.

What are you doing? Mix some drinks.
Go sing some songs.

Hey, nobody is going home tonight, got it?

My love for you is unconditional

- I told you.
- When you need me

- He's a monster.
- Please call me

-Keep an eye on him,
-I'll run to you anytime

- or he'll turn into a dreadful monster.
- It doesn't matter on a day

Or late at night

I'll run to you anytime

If others call me

I might hesitate for a long time

But if it's you I'll run to you anytime

My love for you is unconditional

My love for you is very special

Hey, let's go for another round.

Don't you like pubs with barmaids?

Oh!

Let's go home.

What are you talking about?
We've just begun.

Hey, Hyun-jun.

Yes?

Sa-woo.

Yes, ma'am.

Do I get on your nerves

when I drop honorifics
although I'm younger than you?

Why don't you two work hard
and be my team leader then?

You must know

that you're very honored

to work with me.

Gosh, please clean up the trash...

Hey,

I'll give you two special treatment.

From now on,

drop honorifics
when we're off the work.

You won't regret it?

Never.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Seung-hee.

Yes?

This is awkward, but good.

Good.

Sa-woo, what about you?

Well...

I think I need more time to...

Just do it when you have the chance.

Come on.

Seung-hee.

Yes, Sa-woo?

Gosh, I can't...

I can't do this. Please count me out.

No way. It's good.

Great.

We're out of drinks.

Somebody go and buy some more.

Why don't you go?

Are you crazy?

What?

We're sorry.

I got you!

You were totally fooled, weren't you?

I thought you were serious.

Gosh, you scared me.

You really scared me.

I thought you got mad.

Don't even start.

- Your tuxedo...
- Gosh!

Did you forget to bring it?

BLUE HOUSE THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Hey, he'll be here soon. Eat later.

What is it?

Hyun-jun,

you can't touch this.

What's your name?

Hyun-jun Kim.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'll become Superman
and protect the Earth.

What's the matter?

I think I've been here before.

When?

They are both nuclear physicists
who studied at MIT,

and they have the core skill
that can put our nuclear development

into practical use.

I don't know.

Are you having fun?

Mommy!
