===ep. 1===

In the streets of Hong Kong, NSA agent Ji-sung (actor Lee Jung-jae) comes too late
to save agent Young-jae who was being chased by Whang Wei. He is overcome
with grief and rage at the death of his friend and comrade.

In the cabin of an airplane heading to Seoul, Ji-sung deliberately bumps into Whang
Wei and snatches his passport from his inside jacket pocket. Whang Wei steps into
the restroom and after taking out some pills he goes into cardiac arrest. Do-kyung
(actress Choi Ji-woo) tells the stewardess that she is Whang Wei’s fiancee and
would like to stay by his side but Ha-jun (actor Lee Jin-wook), an Airport operations
official, tells her to go through immigrations like the other passengers.

Ji-sung watches Do-kyung as she goes to the transfer section instead of heading
towards immigrations. Do-kyung senses that Ji-sung is watching her. After
confirming which hotel room the drug smugglers are staying at, Do-kyung begins to
become suspicious of Ji-sung. When she passes by airport security guards, she
orders them to arrest Ji-sung. But they arrest both herself and Ji-sung instead...

A code red alert is raised at the airport because of Whang Wei. Ji-sung (actor Lee

jun (actor Lee Jin-wook).

While searching for Whang Wei in the airport, Ji-sung discovers Whang Wei heading
to the runway and a big chase ensues...

As her new co-workers pile her with drinks, Do-kyung’s (actress Choi Ji-woo)
competitive streak comes out as she drinks every glass they offer to her at her
welcoming party. She starts to develop a stomachache and while she has trouble
walking in the street, she meets Ji-sung (actor Lee Jung-jae) by coincidence. He
helps her when she reels over. They strike a conversation and get to know each
other a little better.

Meanwhile, Ji-sung briefs the airport officials at his first face-to-face meeting with
them about the leaking of sensitive corporate secrets to foreign interests and he
presents the suspects in the case. He bluntly tells the officials that they must raise
the security level of the airport operations. Do-kyung rejects his suggestion because
if she raised the security level, it would cause chaos at the airport. But the security
level is eventually raised to a higher level and flights are delayed, causing a big
problem at the airport. Drawing ire from the airport officials, Ji-sung pushes on to
find the suspect involved in the stealing of sensitive corporate secrets and
discovers one man wearing a necklace with the symbol of the Hong Kong Traid...

Ji-sung gets furious at Ji-sung for letting Charlie, a mid-level Triad Boss and

mistake.
