It's me.

All the sausages you ate

must have slowed you down.

What took you so long?

How are the South Koreans

treating you?

Let my wife go.

Wouldn't I need a witness

for a testimony?

After all, isn't it true that

you're collaborating with the South Koreans?

Put her on the phone.

Are you safe?

I'm fine.

Be strong and hang in there.

For now, do as Myung-su tells you.

I'll come and get you soon.

What use is giving her

a false hope?

Watch it if you want a clean death.

I'll die when I feel like it.

So, cut the crap

and get your ass over here now.

If you let me go,

I'll get you the account.

Pyo Jong-seong,

do you take me for a fool?

If I don't go,

you'll never find that account.

Nor can you find your wife.

An innocent woman will die.

Everyone dies.

She's carrying a baby.

It's not mine.

I'll convert.

Request for backup denied

The company denies all involvement

The backup's going to

be a little late.

Too many people can put the safety

of the hostage at risk.

I can do this alone

if you have my back.

If we get her out,

will she cross over with you?

She may refuse.

Let's just be honest

while we're at it.

You're willing to risk your life

for your wife who may not convert?

How am I supposed to understand that?

It's harder for me to understand

why you're risking your life for this.

It's my job.

There is no reason for doing your job.

You just do it.

It's my wife.

There is no reason

for saving my wife.

Is he really coming?

It's going to be a while.

He won't be here till after 4AM.

Standard KGB attack time.

When humans are weakest.

Like that.

The sun will come up soon.

Have you had a sniper training?

I used to get reward vacations

for outstanding shooting skills.

Secure position.

Be careful.

On the perimeter,

two North Koreans and two Arabs.

Two Arabs by the center table.

One North Korean

by the window at 3 o'clock.

Hostage is...

on far left corner tied to a chair.

She seems to be in...

good condition.

Shake your head

if you can hear me.

Shake your head, damn it!

Son of a b*tch.

You can't kill a man like that.

Revenge is a dish

best served cold.

What happened to

your South Korean buddies?

I can't bring in retards

to catch an idiot.

Bring the hostage over

and check the perimeter.

She made a few attempts

to escape while waiting.

Your family didn't

have to do this

to take control of

the Berlin office.

You can't have two heads

on one body.

You can endure hunger,

but can't endure headache.

Is that the kind of

trust you have

between Comrade Commander

and your father?

Comrade Commander is a human, too.

Men betray.

I came here to be

the traitor you want.

If you let us go, we'll live in

hiding for the rest of our lives.

My confession to treason

is in that voice recorder.

The kind of things you'll do to live.

It's an honor to hear

the confession of the Republic's hero.

Comrade Pyo betraying the Republic.

This is so exciting.

Let's hear it, shall we?

Before we do that,

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you frame my wife

knowing that

her obstetrician was

near the US embassy?

Obstetrician?

That's right! Your wife is pregnant.

It was a lucky swing.

You're the one that

built up the story.

Isn't it your specialty?

Making a criminal out of the innocent.

I, Pyo Jong-seong, a warrior of

the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

is having a self-criticism session.

The party wants to replace

the Berlin branch.

But right now,

replacing the current officials

isn't justified.

Motherf***er!

Play the rest.

If we ambush the deal Yuri

is onto with Asim

then you will have the justified reason

to replace the current officials, right?

Right. So finally you Israelis

will have Yuri and Asim,

Like you've been wanting.

We can hand them over.

Explain yourself.

Didn't I always tell you?

You always get your temper

get the best of you.

You think you have it all?

Look at what you got yourself

into playing a hero.

I admit you were a good teacher.

Are you alright?

You must leave me

if you wish to live.

Don't be silly.

I know how you feel.

Then stick it out to the end.

Are you okay?

It's okay.

I'm on your side.

Do you think you can move?

Go on.

Inject me.

You know killing me

won't put an end to this.

I'll put in a good word

for you to my father.

Let's just call it a day here, eh?

Men betray.

What's your hometown?

It's okay.

Let's go.

Come on, Jung-hee.

We still have

so much to talk about.

Let's go now.

We can go anywhere we want.

I'm sorry.

Jung-hee,

wake up.

Please.

Jung-hee,

come on.

Come with me.

Where are we at with the procedure?

Application for Defection

Application for Defection

At the last stage.

He could convert to our side

if he wishes

or choose a third country

through the UN.

Good work, everyone.

Let's wrap up this

investigation here.

All documents regarding

the account or Pyo Jong-seong

must be destroyed living

only the minimum record

to be classified as class 1 secret.

There are still

a few remaining procedures.

The President has announced

a new gas pipe project during

his visit to Russia.

We concluded our negotiations

with Pyongyang.

Their last condition was for us to hand over

the account and Pyo Jong-seong to them.

Will he be purged

along with Dong Jung-ho?

Why would Dong be purged?

He is the one that

set up this deal.

You know those types

don't go down easily.

Get off.

Get out of the car,

you goddamn commie!

I can't watch a commie like you

Live a trouble-free life.

Go.

You failed to protect your wife

and the baby that she was carrying.

You even betrayed a man

who risked his life to help you.

You betrayed your country

and the people.

That's who you are.

Live in hiding all your life

Looking over your shoulder.

Live like that. Like a dirt.

Don't even think about letting

your heart out to anyone.

Don't think about revenge.

Just lay low breathing shallow.

Like the most common people.

It's me.

How have you been?

Did you hope to live after

what you did to my son?

You're not going anywhere.

It's not just us who's after you.

You don't have to find me

I'll come find you.

Make it fast.

I'll make you pant like a dog

begging me to kill you.

Vladivostok, one way.
