Confidential Assignment 2: International

In New York City, Jang Myong-jun is captured and slated for transfer to Pyongyang. North Korean gangsters strike at the FBI team, allowing Myong-jun to slip away. The escape sets off a high-stakes pursuit across borders.

Myong-jun sneaks into Seoul using a fake passport and absconds with US$1 billion, with help from his partner Kim Chul-soo. The bold heist triggers a cross-border chase and a shift in the pursuit. The money becomes a focal point for multiple factions.

The North Korean government dispatches Im Cheol-ryong to Seoul to recapture Myong-jun and retrieve the money. He begins coordinating with local operatives to close the case. The mission explicitly aims to destabilize the rogue operation in the South.

Cheol-ryeong reunites with Kang Jin-tae and they begin a formal investigation. An FBI agent named Jack arrives, determined to bring Myong-jun and his cronies to the U.S. for killing FBI officials. The three sides agree to cooperate, expanding the pursuit to a trilateral operation.

At a hotel, Cheol-ryeong reveals that Myong-jun is his senior and a former NK agent. Jack shares a lead from Adolf Bohrmann and suspects that Michael Joe is helping Myong-jun, betraying him. The exchange hints at a deeper conspiracy behind the money theft.

The trio tracks Sergey, who provides fake passports and illicit cell phones, and tails his girlfriend Natasha, a Russian model. Jin-tae infiltrates Natasha's house to plant a bug but is attacked by Sergey. Jin-tae defeats Sergey and brings him in for interrogation.

From Sergey’s location, the group traces the signal to Joe's club and infiltrates with Jin-tae's sister-in-law Park Min-young. Myong-jun confronts Joe in the penthouse and demands the return of the money; Joe refuses, leading to Myong-jun killing Joe and Chul-soo who was allied with the FBI.

Cheol-ryeong heads to the penthouse and arrests Myong-jun, cutting off one major link in the operation. The arrest marks a turning point as the money remains in limbo but within law enforcement reach. The team tightens control over the case.

At the North Korean delegation's residence, Cheol-ryong learns Bohrmann is actually a German scientist who killed Jews in a gas-leak accident. He informs Jack, who discovers his own boss is colluding with Myong-jun. The conspiracy widens to include the crime boss and the German scientist.

An assassin targets Jack, but he subdues the attacker and learns Jin-tae's family is being held by Myong-jun. The personal stakes rise as the rescue mission becomes intertwined with the broader pursuit.

Jin-tae is forced to accompany Myong-jun’s henchman into the residence to spread a virus via the residence radio tower. The plan demonstrates Myong-jun’s willingness to escalate violence. The mission threads toward a climactic confrontation.

Myong-jun frees himself and kills his ex-superior Kim Jeong-teak, who is revealed to be Bohrmann. Jeong-teak is revealed as the mastermind who hired Myong-jun to steal the money and connected to Myong-jun's family tragedy. The revelations tie the money theft to a wider vendetta.

Jack reaches Jin-tae's house and defeats the attackers, saving Jin-tae's family. Cheol-ryeong and Jin-tae then converge to defuse the virus bomb and kill Myong-jun, ending the immediate threat. The operation concludes with justice served but personal costs implied.

The seized money is delivered to UNICEF, giving the mission a humanitarian payoff. Cheol-ryeong proposes to Min-young before returning to North Korea, signaling a personal resolution amid the political one. The narrative closes on a note of reconciliation and duty.

Cheol-ryeong returns to North Korea after the operation, reflecting on the trilateral collaboration and the fate of those involved. The money remains with UNICEF, and the characters brace for future regional tensions.
