Snippets

  • Scheduled for 17 September 2021.

Episode 1

It has a slow start as it is introducing many characters.

First of, Han Ji Hyuk who had been missing for a year and had been presumed dead was onboard fishing boat carrying illegal immigrants.

One of the captors tried to take a young girl away from her father who tried to protect her but got beaten up.

Then the noise and the sight of the girl scared and screaming made him come out from under his blanket and singlehandedly massacred all the gang of traffickers.

Then the coastguard came to the rescue and found him standing over someone he had beaten to death.

When they asked him who he was, he gave them his code which was immediately checked with the NIS (National Intelligence Service).

 

At the end of the first episode, he went to open a secret locker in a department store.  In the locker he found a flash drive.

It so happened that the locker is near the computers/laptops products.  He quickly inserted the flash drive and he got a surprise to see himself directly talking to him.  He said that he will say it only once, he deleted his own memory to find the traitor in their agency.

Wow!

Episode 2

An idol who was high on drugs got run over and died.  After further digging by Ha Dong Gyun turned up a possible Chinese drug cartel with North Korea.  This was the case that was being investigated by Han Ji Hyuk.

Han Ji Hyuk, however, had a more pressing business of sniffing out the traitor.  He has his eyes on four of his colleagues.
