I live with my mom and dad,
and three older brothers and a sister.
That is my family.
See! You repeated "and".
It sounds so stupid.
Why don't you try writing it, then?
What are you doing in there? Come out at once.
We also have to take a picture of you.
You can already go over there.
This looks good.
Have you already photographed everyone?
Come over here.
Ready.. and... Thank you.
Next please.
South Korean kids might see this.
Keep smiling.
Hurry UP-
Help, help us
Help me, please.
No witnesses.
Somchai!
- Put them in the boat. - Get in the boat.
- Easy. - That's it.
In the mid-eighties, extreme poverty in South East Asia
gave rise to modern-day pirates.
Most of them are trained mercenaries.
They usually attack Asian vessels.
This is the first time they've ever targeted an American vessel.
It was carrying freight guarded by the US Defense Intelligence Agency,
so it's hard to say whether this was just an act of random piracy.
- Go ahead. - Yes, sir.
Did you check the files from Interpol?
Yes, the Russians are within missile range, so they can't be excluded. But...
China might be behind this with its network of Southeast Asian informants.
Who can we put to handle this from the Southeast Asia Bureau?
We have an Agent White in the Thai district.
No, not White.
US and Japanese intelligence are in a bad way in Southeast Asia.
We can't risk any leaks that may affect our agents.
Have White on standby as a backup, and select a candidate externally.
Yes, sir.
Lieutenant Kang Sejong.
Graduated second in his class at the Naval Officers' Academy.
Transferred to Naval Intelligence in April 2003, he has stationed since.
Trained with the US UDT-SEAL team so he speaks fluent English.
Especially, at the beginning of his service, there was an incident
in which he sank a North Korean spy vessel after several days in pursuit.
Come in.
Salute!
Lieutenant Kang Sejong
Reporting, sir.
- At ease. - Yes, sir.
Your country needs your service for a matter of national security.
Effective immediately, you are transferred from the Navy
to the Executive Branch.
As soon as the paperwork's done here, take him away to be briefed.
Yes, sir.
After the Cold War, following the directives of an international pact,
they stopped making the nuclear missile guidance systems,
China and Russia have recently been strengthening military ties,
so the US secretly made 12 kits in Taiwan,
in an effort to level out the potential threat.
Those contents were looted on their way to Okinawa.
Why did they move them by ordinary freight
and risk them being stolen by pirates?
If the kits were on a military vessel and China discovered the motive,
fighter jets would have taken it down.
China is extremely busy observing all military cargo
coming in and out of Taiwan.
This morning, the Japanese and US ambassadors paid a visit
to our president and delivered the letters from their summit.
They're hoping that we won't get involved. But we think differently.
We can't just do nothing while a nuclear missile is aimed at the peninsula.
What if there is resistance?
Take necessary measures first and report it to me.
Turn left!
How much longer?
Almost done.
Are you happy now?
Hey!
Vastly has secured 10 tons so far.
These days it's hard to smuggle nuclear waste out of Russia.
Even Russia is not what it used to be.
30 tons
as we agreed,
or the deal is off.
That is more difficult than looking for a nuclear bomb.
If I don't have a good answer within a week,
I'll hand the rest over to Pakistan.
What about the payment for finding Park Wansik?
I paid you enough for that.
Wait, do not light the last candle.
Vastly has found the women your looking for.
You don't have to mourn your sister yet.
Go to the floating market and meet Peter.
He is a big-time broker for pirates.
Peter pays off politicians in Thailand, including military heads.
We contacted him through the local agent
and offered him to sell the stolen good from the US vessel.
He agreed to meet at least.
I suspect he might know who you are.
Still he agrees to meet you.
It's a bit tricky situation,
but while US and Japanese intelligence is planning how to handle this matter,
we must act on our own.
Show your fake passport to the merchant in the puppet shop.
Someone's here to buy the American stuff.
OK. I know
He is going in, welcome him.
How are you?
- I'm fine, and you? - Terrible, the weather is bad.
Thank you.
Hey!
- You! come back. - Get him.
- You can't get in. - Take him into the room.
- Catch him. - Get him now.
- Where is he? - Get him.
Quick, follow him. Get him now.
Please be quick. How much?
Yes.
The one who raided the American vessel is a defected North Korean.
What are you saying?
I don't know why, yet.
But he's in Busan to meet someone named Park Wansik.
Yes, sir. I'll do that.
Get me all the Foreign Ministry's classified files from 1975 to 1985.
Yes, sir.
Get me the Korean Embassy in Bangkok.
Why don't you let us take care of it?
I have my reasons.
Sir, here's the magazine you requested.
In 1983, 20 members of Choi Jingyu': family escaped North Korea
and entered the Austrian Embassy in Beijing.
They requested asylum in South Korea,
but at time our government had just begun diplomatic relations with China,
so unfortunately, the request got rejected.
Park Wansik was dispatched to China during that time as a secret envoy.
Right now, he is sewing as the consul-general in New York.
He's in Busan to attend a seminar and expected to leave tomorrow.
If I am right, Sin must be Choi Myungsin,
the youngest member of the Choi family.
Yes.
Sin.
Get the car ready.
That's him.
It's been 20 years...
Comrade, have you ever eaten human flesh?
Who the hell are you?
Doesn't my face remind you of the Choi family?
Sir, something's happened in the toilet. Hurry!
Sin!
Choi Myungsin!
Turn left, I'm telling you.
12TH WORLD YACHT COMPETITION
Faster, faster!
TOURNAMENT VEHICLE
Go to Dock 4.
He says she used to work as a barmaid in a construction field in Harbin.
Her Russian name is Oksana.
He heard that her surname is Choi.
The Shatenvronski, which specializes in slave trading...
transported her from Khabarovsk to Ussuriysk three weeks ago.
Where?
It's a three-hour drive from Vladivostok.
Isn't Consul Chung in Vladivostok?
I'll go.
They've been separated for 20 years.
Plus, I'm the only one who knows his face.
Breaking a dagger when you stab someone in the heart...
is a symbol of deep animosity for someone.
He's a simply brutal bastard.
Sewing as an envoy, Park didn't have the authority to decide on asylum.
Excuse me.
I've just quit smoking.
The Chinese used to cultivate their own opium,
and use it to enslave the defected North Korean girls so they wouldn't run away.
What do you want?
We have an agreement with Shaken.
Somebody's here for the Korean woman.
Let them go up.
Go ahead.
Are you Sin?
This is Sin.
We paid a lot of money to bring her from Khabarovsk.
How much do you want?
$30,000.
He says that she costs $30,000.
OK.
Go in.
What?
Are you Choi Myungju, right?
Your brother Choi Myungsin asked me to get you out of here.
Who are you?
Choi Myungsin sent me to escort you to him.
Your father's name is Choi Jingyu. Correct?
Where is Toto?
Loading the stuff on the truck. Did you get some information on him?
He works for Korean intelligence. Peter says he's not a guy to mess with.
I'll stop by the gas factory, you guys come by the fort when the truck is loaded.
What about the woman?
She may not be my real sister, like those others.
Someone is on our tail, we must hurry. Whether it's her or not, get this done first.
Finish up quickly.
This happens from time to time.
I have trouble with my eyesight.
Yes.
I'll call you later.
Long time, no see.
It's true.
Start it.
Have a seat.
For us the Chernobyl accident
was a tragedy we'll never forget.
If the stupid politicians didn't try to cover it up,
hundreds of young people wouldn't have died.
I won't ask you what you're going to do with it.
I have no intention of telling you.
But you must know: all this is from hell.
The world is hell.
Sin.
The blue button is the power switch.
The red button starts the timer. 10 hours later, it will be hell there.
What will be the ship's name?
Typhoon.
Quick, quick, what are you waiting for?
A brain tumor has caused loss of sight.
I can inject her with penicillin it will give her relief for some time.
The heart complications,
they are very serious.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I can't believe things like this can still happen...
She will be fine until Sin shows up.
Shouldn't we take her to a hospital?
I've paid a few snitches to inform us if anyone comes looking for her.
Go to the open market and get her some clothes.
We should freshen her up a bit, as they are meeting for the first time in 20 years.
Switch to infrared light and turn up the audio in Sejong's room.
Yes, sir.
It's not as bad as we thought.
The doctor says you'll be fine and well after a few months of treatment.
How is he doing?
Excuse me?
What does he do for a living?
He runs a small trading company.
Has he married?
Well...
I'm not sure...
Sir.
Wait!
Has Myungsin committed any crime?
Tell me the truth.
You're a South Korean agent, aren't you?
Your brother asked me to...
Don't treat me like an idiot, even though I'm sick and dying.
Why are you all keeping me here?
I clearly remember how he felt about South Korean.
He had sworn he'd kill every South Korean.
He stole some goods from a ship and killed people.
Most of them were innocent.
The goods he stole from them are valuable to our country.
Is that...
the reason you brought me here?
I'm sorry.
Everything will be settled if I die!
That doesn't mean we'll give up on your brother.
If you catch Myungsin you'll torture him and kill him, anyway.
That's not going to happen.
Don't ever do this again.
He was...
such a good boy back then.
Honestly, I just...
I miss my little brother so much.
Once, when my brother was out in the fields,
a propaganda balloon flew overhead.
It was from South Korea.
Father had planned everything, down to the last detail.
He had paid off a broker in China beforehand.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan.
People at the Austrian Embassy were so kind that...
None of us...
ever doubted that we would make it to the South.
We were all so happy then.
If we go to South Korea, will we get to eat meat every day?
Not every day. But once a month wouldn't be bad.
Then I'll eat three bowls at a time.
What if your belly gets too big?
Sir, we're going to Beijing Capital Airport.
Shouldn't we be getting there soon, where are we now?
Don't worry, we'll be there in no time.
He's just taking a detour because of construction work.
Okay, stop.
Don't move.
Don't move, you! Sit down!
Sit down, don't move!
What's happened?
Sit down, don't move!
Comrades!
You were deceived by the South Korean pigs,
and were almost dragged into hell!
However, welcome back into the arms of your motherland.
Now, let's all feel happy go back to the comfort of our great nation.
Get off the bus!
Hurry up!
Run away!
We'll all die if we're caught!
Run now!
Father!
Get them onto the trucks!
Father!
Get him out of here.
Mam!
Go!
Mam!
Come on. Hurry!
Mam!
Let's swap shoes with mine.
Forget it!
Then stop whining!
It's not because my feet are hurting,
it's because I'm thinking of mom...
What do you think she died for?
If we get caught, she died for nothing!
South Koreans...
I'll kill them all!
Even though we were young,
we knew the South Korean border had rejected us.
Wake up, Myungsin.
Why? What is it?
Where did you get this?
I met a kind farmer who gave them to me.
Why didn't you ask him for a place to stay?
Aren't you having any?
I ate some already. Eat before it gets cold.
Somewhere over the big blue sky
Far far away
Where the blue sky reaches
My home should be right under it
Whenever! miss my home
I look up the sky
Over the mountain
OK.
Choi Myungsin.
I hear you found a propaganda leaflet from the South and brought it home.
So what?
Come to the Vladivostok train station overpass at 10am tomorrow.
I will let you meet your sister.
To me, my family is already dead.
Even if they appear in front of me...
Myungsin. is that you? It's me, Myungju.
Myungsin?
Are you still alive?
This asshole gave her to the wrong guy.
Be careful, Vastly is not in charge here.
I don't know how time makes people change.
Even if he doesn't recognize me,
he'll remember this.
Don't forget to tell your bosses in South Korea,
whatever Myungsin has done is all because I told him to do.
Though I have little time to live,
I won't forget your kindness if you do that for me.
He's coming up. I've got a visual.
He has just arrived. I'll report back when we're moving.
Keep an eye for anyone tailing us.
You've got 24 hours to hand over the stolen cargo after you meet your sister.
Do you understand?
If anything happens to my sister,
I'll cut your throat.
If you come with me, your sister will be safe.
If you try anything stupid, things will be a lot harder for both of you.
You'd better do as I say.
They're moving down to the platform.
Comrade.
What's your name?
Kang $610"!!-
Comrade Kang, what do you gain if you take me in?
Will you be rich and famous in South Korea for arresting me?
I'm just doing my job.
Then you're a fool.
If there's nothing for you,
why are you risking your life to catch me?
Well, why are you coming with me when you know you'll be executed?
It's not because you're stupid.
You're afraid your sister might be in danger because of you.
Isn't that right?
Is that why you're using an innocent woman as bait?
It's a kind of things you dirty, merciless, South Korean scumbags do!
There comes a time when you will see all the people in Korea
pouring out their blood, and bursting their guts inside out.
I know life has treated you badly,
but that doesn't give you the right to kill innocent people.
I've checked everything. No one's on our tail.
Let them in.
Yes. They've just got here.
Sir?
With your brother...
How did you get separated from each other?
At the Changchun Station...
Some Chinese kids...
kicked my belly and...
started hitting me...
So...
my brother...
my little brother threw himself on them.
All five of them were at least a head taller than him.
Myungsin...
They dragged my brother away...
I told you to wait and not go anywhere!
I...
I thought you were dead.
This has already gone over to the Russians' hands.
The mission has lost its purpose.
What do you mean by that?
I've got an order to complete this mission before US intelligence finds out.
What?
What about the promise that we made to her?
I never approved what you promised to her.
Now it's up to the Americans, the Japanese and the Russians.
If things go wrong, our government might fall into a difficult situation.
You keep this.
You just watch, I'll do the talking.
Comrade, how much do you want for our lives?
Take her outside.
You dirty bastards!
"Ow!
No!
Toto, go inside.
Sin! I'm here
There's a sniper outside.
Don't move, stay put.
Quick. Be careful.
Quick!
Do you need to go to hospital?
Go to the pier, call Somchai, tell him to bring a doctor.
- That's it? - Yes, sir. That's all.
This letter doesn't have a sender's name.
How is your sister?
Whatever happens, I'll take care of her until the end.
I couldn't get any opium,
so I brought morphine instead.
I sent the tapes by express mail.
This is all we have left,
including the money from the American ship.
Tell Toto
after I have left.
That it's all over.
While we were on the run,
whenever we missed our family, we used to look at the stars and talked.
Do you remember those times?
You said you were going to make a lot of money
so you would buy all the bombs and missiles in the world,
and destroy both North Korea and South Korea.
You used to tell me that I shouldn't do that.
We may not like what happened, but that's where our home is.
It's been so hard for us living in this world.
Now, come with me to see mom and dad,
and let's live happily there with them.
Sin sent a videotape to Reuters and the BBC in Bangkok.
Using diplomatic channels, I've put it on hold temporarily.
The nuclear waste that Sin has obtained
is the same as the radioactive dust from the Chernobyl incident.
The only difference is that
it doesn't show its devastating effects immediately.
Once the substance has been broken down chemically, and gets airborne,
it'll seep into the soil and waterways, resulting in an unimaginable bio hazard.
How can it be dispersed from the air?
The two typhoons are crossing the East China Sea and heading north,
with winds exceeding over 70 meters per second, it may cause untold damage...
Five tons of liquid helium, with 30 tons of nuclear waste that disappeared
from the 6th Golard power plant were loaded onto Sin's cargo vessel.
However, I have no idea what he's going to do with it.
Once, when my brother was out in the fields...
a propaganda balloon flew overhead.
Just watch while the people of Korea die
in a pool of their own blood and guts.
It's the Fujiwhara effect.
When two typhoons spin together,
one absorbs the other and becomes more destructive.
Has it happened before?
Two years ago, Pungsen and Pongwieng circulated simultaneously.
Fortunately it was above the sea.
- What about now? - Take a look at the bottom.
The velocity of the two typhoons shows they will meet at the Korean Peninsula.
Any object that comes within a 20 kilometer radius of the epicenter
will be pulled down by the descending air current.
Argos Satellite is connected, VMS is engaged.
Are they inside the typhoon?
It's following the path of the eye, where it's almost completely calm.
- The President? - He's on the line to the White House.
He'll be here any moment.
DIA Director Poward is on the line. Would you like to speak to him?
What the hell? Look, a big storm is coming.
Toto, it's Sin.
Reporting breaking news...
The National Emergency Committee declared today at 4:00
a code red concerning the approaching typhoons.
The typhoons are believed to contain unidentified nuclear matter.
Radioactivity detectors have been set up all over the country. Currently...
Our armed forces are under orders.
They have been put on strategic standby until further notice.
Father, you always said that a soldier should retain his honor,
even when his country is being put to the test.
Salute!
Good to see you.
As you ordered, all is set.
I'll lead Team A to the stern
and Lieutenant Yu will take Team B through the front.
We'll need to take control of the bridge as quickly as possible.
Then go through the engine room to the cargo hold, where the nukes are located.
Salute!
Sorry to burden you with all this.
No problem, sir.
Mother, I know you have never received my letters before,
but I always write you a letter before I go on a dangerous mission.
Tonight, me and my men are to go to the sea to find a person
who wanted to come to South Korea 20 years ago.
Risking my life, I have to point my gun at this mad man.
But if I would meet him in another world,
I would like to have him as a friend.
I think it's because I read the letter he wrote when he was a boy.
Mother, I remember the night when father went out on his last mission.
He was sitting next to me in his uniform while I was sleeping.
Actually I wasn't asleep, but I pretended I was.
I don't know why I didn't open my eyes and say goodbye to him.
I still regret being so silly.
Mother, if you get to read this letter, please don't be so sad.
Just like father and my colleagues,
I'm only doing what is right.
Mother, I love you. Goodnight and sleep well.
From your proud son of Korea, First Lieutenant Kang Sejong.
Yes...
When?
We've attained the dialogue of the coalition commander and the Pentagon.
Our forces are on strategic standby
while they secretly dispatch a submarine.
What?
It's the Pentagon's decision.
They are trying to eradicate anything that might be used as evidence.
Terminate this mission immediately and return to base.
How far away are we?
We'll penetrate the eye shortly. Approximately 20 minutes.
If a torpedo is fired while you are in the typhoon, it's all over.
If we give up, they'll just try to cover it up again.
What do you mean?
Their intention of positioning nuclear missiles aimed at the Korean peninsula.
Listen, what do you expect to change by risking your lives on this?
At least we could be served as the evidence.
Over and out!
Toto, please.
They're coming.
Get on the lifeboat and leave now.
Today is the Day of Water Offering
My brother has been preparing so long for this
He's well dressed now, and ready to go to the temple
Team B, location secured.
Goggles on. Goggles on.
Get ready to move onto deck.
Load smoke shells.
Sin told us to leave.
Get out! Get out!
Where are they?
Where? Over there?
Cover me!
My little brother,
just like our father
you're so handsome...
Let's go...
and meet mom and dad.
Team A is checking the bridge.
Team B check the deck.
Team B, take care of the wounded and move in!
Team A mission completed.
Today is the Day of Water Offering
My brother has been preparing so long for this
He's well dressed now, and ready to go to the temple
Damn...
I'm going to the temple to wash away my sins
Comrade!
You know what's fucked up about this?
You and I...
understand one another!
We...
in our next lives...
The Typhoon has been spotted. A rescue team is on its way.
Five balloons made it to South Korea,
but none of the detonators was turned on.
After all, what he really wanted to send out to Korea in the typhoon
wasn't something to pay off an old grudge of his cursed childhood,
but his final wish that he wanted to be remembered, not to be forgotten.
