I found out later that the Professor
was actually a real professor until a few years ago.
His main topic of research was the economic impacts of reunification.
Tell me, why are we living in a divided country?
What has kept us separate
for more than 70 years?
It's complicated involving political, cultural, and economic factors.
To find answers, we originally developed a spiral model.
However, it clearly has its limitations.
Let me share my theory.
Reunification is bound to transpire immediately
as long as both countries can share the same dream.
So what should that dream be?
A peace on the Peninsula? A cultural consensus?
It has to be desire.
A desire to make both South Korea and North Korea...
wealthy.
Desire.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBER KIM SANGMAN
That was a very impressive lecture.
Where are we going? Where are you taking me?
I'd like to introduce you to someone who can turn your ideas into reality.
Thank you for coming all the way out here. I'm Oh Jaeyun.
Of course, sir. I'm well aware of who you are.
Well then, I suppose I'll leave you two alone to talk.
Have you been here before?
Uh, no. First time.
What do you think?
Don't you think this place is more inefficient rather than tragic?
Sir, can I ask why you wanted to see me?
Well, it's still highly classified,
but North Korea is planning to implement a full open-door policy.
But for economic development, two things are required.
Capital and a plan.
Our group will provide capital and you, Professor,
will develop an economic cooperation plan.
Your work will be key for the reunification of the Peninsula.
What do you say? Will you join us, Professor?
The moment he shook his hand
the Professor realized he was choosing to become Oppenheimer.
You may be asking yourself, "Who is Oppenheimer?"
He's the scientist who developed the first atomic bomb.
A white Korando runaway vehicle,
fleeing toward the Paju intersection.
Requesting backup right now.
In pursuit of a white SUV heading toward the intersection ahead.
Driving ahead now to block his escape!
Move! Move!
Move!
Hold on tight!
Tokyo!
-Denver! -We have an intruder!
We have to let the Professor know right now!
Move! Out of the way!
The Professor is not inside the Mint.
Park Chulwoo, do you copy?
Park Chulwoo!
Do you copy?
Park Chulwoo!
Confirming I got eyes on one male driver.
You're surrounded! Do not resist. Get out of the car!
Comply with our orders!
Or else we're going to shoot!
I repeat! You're surrounded!
Do not resist and get out of the car!
You're surrounded! Surrender now!
Stop it!
What in the--
You still think that you don't need me? Huh?
We need to know the truth. What is happening?
He's not here!
-What do we do? -He can't have gotten far.
-Search the area and call in for backup. -Yes.
Inspector!
Call from headquarters.
There's definitely someone on the outside.
He set the car on fire and he was able to escape.
He must be one of the members of the Professor's gang, or…
I think that he is the Professor.
Just now, there were gunshots heard coming from inside the Mint.
TF HAS YET TO REPORT
The fate of the hostages remain unknown.
The police have repeatedly stated
that they're trying to assess what occurred inside the Mint earlier.
Meanwhile, the families of the hostages have gathered in droves near the Mint,
desperately waiting for updates about their loved ones.
I want to know if my child is dead or alive?
That's all I'm asking for.
A petition on the Blue House's website has gathered more than 200,000 signatures
in favor of the immediate use of force to infiltrate.
The public's criticism regarding the lukewarm response
about the Task Force and the police as a whole is growing stronger.
They are not just thieves anymore.
They're a real threat to the peace of the Korean Peninsula.
They are terrorists!
It's meaningless to continue talks with them.
Now is the time to take bold action, with absolutely no tolerance for violence!
Did you interview the family members of the students inside the Mint?
How could you do this without even telling me?
Your misjudgment and lack of foresight killed one of our agents!
I have nothing to say.
Oh really? So you don't have anything to say to Agent Park's family either?
Why did you do this? I thought we were a team.
You think they targeted me?
So then,
do you still suspect me?
If you were really a spy,
you wouldn't have such fury in your eyes as you tried to chase him down.
Captain, I understand the situation left you with no other choice.
But from now on, the two of us 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 on the overall updates. -Uh, let me--
First, let's solve the matters at hand. Okay?
The suspects are trying to conceal Agent Park's death.
Why would they do that?
Isn't that obvious?
If his death is confirmed, they would be admitting they're murderers.
They could've revealed he's a police officer.
But hours have passed, and there's no reaction.
That's why this is so strange.
In a standard armed robbery case,
there are almost always bound to be a few deaths in a hostage situation.
And they had all the more reason to not hesitate since he was an undercover agent.
And it would show they're willing to go all the way if the plan goes awry.
Yes, but it's not just any bank. They've taken over the Mint.
A major national facility.
And what's happened?
Multiple days have passed without any casualties.
And how did they respond when the Director got shot?
They let a medical team come in to save him.
Are they trying to act like some kind of Robin Hoods or something?
Well, maybe.
We know one thing for sure.
It's that they really care a lot about public opinion.
We have two cards hidden up our sleeve.
One is to stir up public opinion.
What's the other one?
We now know that.
The Professor isn't in the Mint
so we need to use both cards to reclaim the upper hand in our negotiations.
Okay, but how?
I need to go into the Mint myself.
What should we do about the press out there?
They're holding their ground.
Tell them we'll have a briefing in two hours.
And from now on, let's have three briefings a day,
all of them on a schedule.
That seems a little excessive though.
If we stick to the basics and give them the information as needed,
the public is gonna finally realize
that they shouldn't target their anger at us
but at the Mint.
-Ah shit. Ow! -Ahh! Toughen up, crybaby.
That's enough. Come on, stop!
Aren't you supposed to be an expert at fighting?
Hey, that attack was out of nowhere.
This wouldn't have happened if you had really been monitoring, you lil' shit.
Yeah. My bad. You're all set now.
Forget it.
What's this on your forehead? Is it cracked or something?
-Right here. -Hmm?
That hurts! Stop it!
Now I'm the one who got attacked out of the blue.
Well, it wasn't me.
Ah shit.
-Huh? -Huh?
Hey, boss. What's up?
What are you doing up here?
Why do you look so bummed out?
Tokyo?
This is not your fault.
It was that asshole cop who put the hostages in danger.
You think so?
I'm not sure.
[sighs
Come on, I'm trying to cheer you up.
You can at least pretend to play along. Hmm?
Oh, here you are.
The Professor called.
The car. Did he take care of it?
Mm-hmm. Turns out Tokyo was right.
Oh good.
Lucky you knew those car dealers were shady as fuck.
We would've all been totally fucked if it weren't for you.
Am I right?
And the way you handled the situation with Misun.
There's a reason the Professor trusts you.
Now, come on.
Stand tall.
If I hadn't stepped up,
Tokyo would be dead and the violence wouldn't have ended there.
You're right. I was thinking about it…
I think that Berlin should be in charge again.
What? But what if something bad happens again…
All this happened under my watch and I know it's my fault.
Maybe Berlin was right.
Instilling fear in the hostages might be the best way
to keep them under control.
Berlin, what do you think?
I don't really know if I agree.
There's that old saying, "Don't change horses midstream."
And if she gets the ax for a mistake like this,
I probably should've gotten chopped up long ago.
Are you sure?
Professor, I only want one thing.
For our plan to succeed,
whether it's through superficial peace or blood-curdling fear,
I don't really care how it gets done.
We walk out from the Mint alive with a handsome load of cash in our hands.
That's all thatI want.
-Professor? -Put me through, for now.
What was all that gunfire?
It was just shooting practice.
Why is he hiding it? It was all in self-defense.
Please don't tell me you've killed anyone?
I told you before. We do not intend to hurt the hostages.
But I'm guessing that didn't go as planned?
It's chaos outside the Mint right now,
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 practiced shooting because we got bored.
It's suffocating in here, you know?
Is that so? You really didn't kill anyone?
Why? You want me to put every hostage on the line to check in?
Or maybe just a video message?
I'll just go in myself.
That way, I can be sure.
I'm sure you know that I just can't allow that.
You can't calm the public outrage. It's already reaching its breaking point.
Soon we'll both be in a tight spot.
And I can't guarantee the food deliveries as a promise anymore.
I guess there's no choice. But...
no playing games like last time. Okay?
Of course. I'll go in by myself.
But let me bring a camera inside to broadcast live.
Because if you're the type to keep your word,
then the public should know that too.
If you refuse, we have no choice but to do a press release
for the reporters waiting outside.
We'll tell them you refused to confirm who's alive in there.
And at noon, when the supplies come,
I'll let you enter the Mint.
Inspector Seon Woojin fully grasped our situation
And that the reason that we were so adamant
about the safety of the hostages
was how the public would view us.
And once we were completely cornered,
she decided that it was time to stab us with the knife of public opinion.
Guys, come on, it's simple. We just line all of them up in a row,
let her see them, and then send her right back outside.
No, we should let her check the hostages one by one.
We need to be prepared for anything unexpected.
At least time is already on our side anyway.
Why didn't you just ignore her request?
I didn't want anyone to die because of how we'll look to the public.
Having them on our side is the important last piece of the puzzle.
And if the public starts to believe
that we're homicidal maniacs or even reactionaries--
They'll storm in armed.
There's nothing to be scared about. All the hostages are safe and alive.
Yeah, but what if they find out that we've been printing money during the check?
We need to make sure no one talks.
Right. About what we're doing in the Mint,
or what happened to Park Chulwoo.
We can't risk a leak of any information whatsoever.
So be well-prepared for the hostage check.
Hello. Welcome, everyone.
The Task Force decided to hold this press briefing
to calm the worries of the families of the hostages and the general public.
First of all, regarding the gunfire that was heard this afternoon,
the suspects confirmed and reiterated
that they are committed to their initial stance
on keeping all of the hostages that are inside the Mint safe.
You're saying there aren't any casualties?
How can we really trust them?
In response, the Task force
insisted that we need to confirm the safety of the hostages in person.
They accepted our terms.
And as a result of this negotiation,
Task Force leader Seon Woojin,
will personally go inside the Mint with a camera
and will be capturing a live broadcast you can view.
That will be all.
Did you stay up all night?
You know what? Don't worry.
If anything happens, I'll take care of it. Okay?
That's hard to believe, right?
So do your best.
Because I believe in you.
I couldn't just feel miserable and hopeless forever.
-Helsinki, Oslo. -Hmm?
Get the hostages to the lobby.
Uh-huh.
Come on. Get up right now!
Ah shit. Just fuck off!
They want everyone. Get up now.
What? Do they want to gather all the traitors for some kangaroo court, huh?
I'm not going!
No, it didn't seem like that.
-But suit yourself. -Hey.
If you hadn't set out to evacuate the hostages at that exact moment,
we would probably be home in our beds by now.
I'm regretting it too.
If I had stopped him myself, that police officer would still be alive.
I bet she's thinking the same thing.
Let me go.
Why? So you can go meet him?
If by chance you make it out of here,
I'll make sure everyone knows you're a traitor
who sided with a criminals over the hostages.
Nothing happened back there in the storage room.
Am I right, asshole?
Yes, yes, yes.
So why don't you stop bothering her over nothing?
Yes, yes.
At noon today, a police officer is going to enter the Mint
to check if all the hostages are safe.
Your families are very worried after hearing the gunshot.
So we've made an exception. I'm asking you all for your cooperation.
And what happens to the dead policeman?
Anne.
Shouldn't you at least give them his dead body?
What dead body?
Did something happen?
All we did was have a little shooting practice.
-My director friend. -Yeah.
Do you know anything?
Uh, not really.
That's right.
Can I say a few words to all of you?
It may be a little late, but let me introduce myself.
My real name is Song Jungho.
I'm 41 years old.
Born in Taechon, Pyongan-do.
I got caught escaping North Korea when I was nine,
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 in this Mint knows my real identity,
there's a much higher chance I'll get caught
even if I manage to get out of this place.
This is not just a punishment for myself for threatening you this whole time.
It's a warning.
My colleagues are gonna continue
in their efforts to try and treat you all humanely.
But for me, I've got nothing to lose now.
So I expect you all to be on your best behavior.
There will be a camera in here.
Your families haven't seen you in a while, so everyone better go wash up.
Move. Come on.
Uh, the line for the men's room isn't this long,
so those of you in the back, come this way.
I need to talk to you. Come with me.
-What do we do? -What do you mean?
They said the police are coming in.
We've gotta do something.
We can't just stay silent when a person died. They need to know!
They warned us about this.
If we do anything to irritate them, things will only get worse.
I mean…
It's okay if we don't get caught.
What do you mean?
We can secretly pass them a note.
Tell them about the dead cop, the number of bank robbers, what they look like
and that they're in here printing brand-new money.
And if we get caught? You think they're gonna tolerate another stunt like this?
Don't you think it'll be different?
Depending on who will get caught?
You're not implying…
Look, even if we get caught, they can't do anything to you
because you're the daughter of the US ambassador.
How could you ask a child to do that?
I'll do it. Since I was part of the reason the policeman died.
How about instead of using paper, we write everything on a newly printed note?
It can't be me. I'm on their blacklist. There's no doubt about that.
So what you need to do is go and ask the printing team
to sneak out a bill for us to use.
Yeah, let's do that. If we get caught, it's safer for me to take the fall.
But if it all gets to be too much at any point, just give up, okay?
Hmm.
We will enter, but please understand that for security reasons
we'll only bring one camera operator and no reporters inside the Mint.
However, the recordings taken from the scene
will be shared with every outlet that is interested.
As we think of our family members
held as captive hostages nearby,
I've invited all of you here to discuss how we can best demand their safety
and enact prompt solutions.
And here with us today we have the family members
of the Mint employees and the parents of the students.
Also,
we are joined by the parents of Ms. Anne Kim,
Mr. Marshall Kim, the US ambassador to Korea, and his wife, Mrs. Kim.
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 to go now.
We'll be fine, right?
I have faith.
We're moving forward.
HOUR 98 INTO THE HEIST
TOP NEWS TF ENTERING THE MINT
Nice to meet you.
BREAKING NEWS ROBBERS REVEAL THEIR FACES
Oh look. Look, they're finally playing it.
Who is that?
Hello there. Thank you for joining us.
Where are they?
Follow me.
Set up the camera behind me here.
And now we can start proving to you that the hostages are alive and well.
First up is Director of the Mint, Cho Youngmin.
-Are you going to show them one by one? -Yes, just to maintain order.
One by one, once you've been checked,
go to the exhibition hall on the other side and get some rest.
Hey, you.
Don't do anything stupid.
Here.
First off, I want to apologize for our friendly fire.
How's your wound healing?
It's all right.
I'm Cho Youngmin, Director of the Mint.
Dad.
Honey, are our kids,
Huichan and Huiju, doing okay?
I'm fine.
Wait for me, okay?
Huichan!
Huiju!
We're okay. The robbers are nice to us.
What happened when we heard the gunshot?
Um, I'm not sure…
You don't know if anyone was shot yesterday?
Sir, we found his identity.
CRIMINAL RECORDS SONG JUNGHO
That's why he looked familiar.
Hey, Anne.
It's your turn.
Nice to meet you. Are you doing okay?
Yeah.
If you have anything you'd like to say to your family, please go ahead.
Mom,
Dad,
I…
ANNE KIM MYEONGSEONG FOREIGN LANGUAGE HIGH SCHOOL
I…
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
It looks like she's getting too emotional.
We should let her get some rest.
Good idea. Come on.
Oh no.
That was quite a performance in there.
Give it to me. What is it?
Ha, what a clever little move you made.
Whose idea was this?
I planned it myself. You can all go fuck yourselves!
Who ordered this?
That was a nice try, but this ends here.
Helsinki, take her.
What's Inspector Seon's plan in there?
-If it continues on like this-- -Remove the camera.
Now it's really starting.
What are you doing?
Your way is going to take forever.
Please gather all the hostages and bring them in here.
That's not going to happen.
Why? This will save time. Wouldn't that be better?
You told us that the hostages are safe, didn't you?
You also promised proof of life.
We'll leave after I've had a chance to check them all. Is that a problem for you?
Okay.
Mmm.
Make sure the camera's ready.
HOSTAGES ENTERING CHECKING ALL AT ONCE
I have a list here. I'll compare and confirm the hostages, one by one.
I've already met Director Cho Youngmin.
See, everyone is alive. Now then, let me walk you out.
There's a person missing. The contract security guard,
Park Chulwoo. A 33-year-old male.
The day of the heist was his first day.
-We have nobody matching that description. -No. He's clearly on our list.
Has anyone seen him?
Anyone?
So you're saying she put Agent Park's name on the hostage list?
The identities of SOU agents are classified. No one will find out.
Why are you only telling me this now?
We had to create an unexpected situation
that the Professor can't respond to on the outside.
If any information had leaked from here,
the suspects would've refused to let us in from the very beginning.
All eyes are on the Mint right now,
and Inspector Seon can use a sway of the public's perception
to rescue all of the hostages.
Something did happen yesterday when we heard the gunshots, right?
I'm telling you nothing happened.
My director friend, do you know anything?
Uh… Um…
It was a shooting practice.
If you think you can get away with this by shutting them up. You're mistaken.
-This man. Where is he? -How in the world would I know that?
When I've never seen that face anywhere inside the Mint.
Come on, has anyone seen him before? No one?
You really haven't seen him?
I saw that man yesterday!
What?
I saw him too!
Where is he?
Tell me!
Did you kill this man?
If you didn't kill him, then bring him out.
Did you think this kinda bullshit would actually work?
That son of a bitch on your list was a fucking cop and you--
So that means you're admitting that you killed him? Do I have that right?
You're the ones who broke your promise and sent in an agent.
-We were defending ourselves. -Yeah, maybe that's what you think!
But what really matters is that you broke your promise of not hurting anyone
and you killed someone.
Even now, the majority of the public thinks
that we should use force to stop you.
We're trying our best to negotiate for the sake of the hostages' safety.
But with the way things have escalated now,
I don't think we can solve this
with conversation alone.
So if you want to avoid the worst-case scenario,
you need to set the students free right now.
Give me a justification to continue negotiating.
Justification? Let's be honest.
You're trying to free the daughter of the US ambassador,
so that you can bulldoze this place?
I see us storming in by force does scare you.
I can just stay in here!
Did you hear that?
Then what do you think about maybe, aside from Anne,
us sending the other students home?
-What's up? -Someone dropped this off.
ANONYMOUS TIP
I guess we have no choice.
Looks like we just have to see for ourselves to find out who is right.
What? They didn't kill him?
The thing we were hiding so thoroughly
wasn't Park Chulwoo's death,
but the fact that he was alive.
If we stick to the basics and give them the information as needed,
the public is gonna finally realize
that they shouldn't target their anger at us
but at the Mint.
So what happened, Professor? Were you able to take care of the car?
Yes, I did. What happened at the Mint?
A rat crawled out and we caught it.
So did you kill him?
Of course, Berlin's bullet was aimed straight at the cop's heart.
He desperately wanted to blow the man's head off right then and there,
but he settled for letting his anger out on him instead.
He was still alive.
Berlin had followed the rule the Professor emphasized over and over again.
Because Berlin stuck to our principles,
we now have an opportunity to turn public opinion back to our side.
The police are all certain that Park Chulwoo is dead.
We'll use that to our advantage.
Breaking news from the standoff at the Mint.
An anonymous tip was just delivered to our production truck,
which contained a drive with a video file.
Surprisingly, the video contained footage of what happened
inside the Mint at the time of the gunfire yesterday.
Agent Park Chulwoo infiltrated the Mint
dressed in the same outfit as the hostages
and caused a major disturbance in an attempt to kill our leader.
Sure, let's say that's all okay.
After all, he's a cop. But what about afterwards?
Agent Park Chulwoo! What was the next part of your plan?
Should I say it for you?
While we were panicking over losing our leader,
they were planning to storm in here with guns.
The hostages didn't know anything about this.
What do you think would've happened to the hostages
if I hadn't caught Park Chulwoo, and if they had stormed in here for real?
Do you think anyone is going to believe a word of what you say?
The word of cops who only pretended to care the safety of the hostages
while planning to use them as human shields,
all the while shamelessly lying about it!
You all know that we are criminals, and that we came here to steal money.
But we know better than anyone else that human lives matter.
At least, better than the police here.
If someone has to lose a life inside the Mint, take it from me,
I will be the first to do so.
Until then, I will not let anyone else die.
POLICE USE OF HOSTAGES AS HUMAN SHIELDS INDISCRIMINATE RAID REVEALED
As the presumed leader of the group of suspects said,
so far, there haven't been any casualties
that have occured in the hostage situation taking place at the Mint...
-What are you doing? -I feel betrayed.
The Professor said not to watch the TV.
Agh! Don't bring up the Professor so soon.
Hey, we're enjoying the moment a bit.
Don't be so uptight.
Right? We totally got the police. We destroyed them in there.
See? It's insane right now!
Especially Berlin at the end! You totally killed it, man!
If the leader says turn it off, we turn it off.
Aw.
Come on, man. You were having fun watching it too, huh?
So, I guess with all this,
it's safe to say that the precious public opinion is gonna be on our side now.
You did a great job, Berlin.
Ooh.
What's wrong, Dad? Did something happen, huh?
I've got… I've…
…got soil.
Let's get out, guys.
You're done with the digging, huh?
We're almost done printing money too.
In three days, we can finally get out of this fucking Mint!
Finally, we can see the end.
We'll get out of here!
We were truly full of hope for a moment,
but not all of us were.
Shh!
You're here just to change the bandage?
Yeah, of course.
This late?
Once you get out, I hope you can 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.
No, no, that's not what I--
You know, just keep working like nothing ever happened.
And I hope you can date a decent guy this time, huh?
I'm going to
quit the Mint.
Why?
Oh shit. Is it the Director?
That son of a bitch, I'll make sure that asshole doesn't say a word--
I...
I'm sorry.
I can't accept this. I'm the one who should take responsibility.
What can we do?
Public opinion's against us. It's not like I have any say in this.
The higher-ups have taken a lot into consideration to end things like this.
No, it's because if you fire me you can't find a replacement.
Please tell those people at the top
that if they replace Captain Cha, I'll quit too.
Ma'am.
You don't have to do this. I agreed with their call.
We both know that I'm the one responsible,
so it's only right for you to stay, rather than me.
Are you just going to give up?
Who said anything about giving up? Listen, I'm planning to track him down.
Is there a way to find him?
This may not be the best time to bring this up,
but when did you first seeing that man Park Sunho?
Sunho?
He barged into the Task Force tent that one time, didn't he?
Captain Cha, please!
He, uh...
It's true that I haven't known him long, but he's not the type to hurt anyone.
And more than all of that, he's someone that I trust and love.
But still, I--
Just go get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Well, they can't fire both of us, so they'll probably just call it off.
Inspector!
SEON WOOJIN
How much is this?
Do you know how much this is?
How much is it for one of these?
Over here!
Wow, looks so good.
Yay!
-You had some drinks. -Mmm.
Just a few.
Hmm.
Are you okay? Drinking like that?
I've got to shake it off
before I head back to fighting.
You told me I can rely on you, right?
You just wait.
I might get real, real drunk and cry my eyes out.
I don't know.
Maybe I should get drunk first.
That won't be easy though.
Woojin was able to forget about reality
for a little while when she was with him.
It was the same for him too.
He could forget about being the Professor and just be an ordinary café owner.
And in that moment, sitting across from her,
he didn't feel any confusion or guilt.
Walking together like this, doesn't it feel like we're a real couple?
Right?
I must be really drunk.
I can hear music coming from somewhere.
Woojin.
About the situation at the Mint…
Maybe you should just forget about this case.
What do you mean by that?
It's just that…
you seem tired.
