TEMPEST

Mr. Im.

You're here.

UNITED MOTHERLAND

-You published a new book?
-I did.

Although I didn't really wanna have
anything printed. Those poor trees.

THE FATE OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA

BY IM DUJIN

Why didn't you visit me sooner?

I thought if I did, I'd
cry the second I saw you.

So what if you did? Your
husband had just died.

I still have so much to do.

Oh, really? Like what?

I never did anything for
him when we were married.

So the least I can do is
find out why he was murdered.

If he risked his life for something,
I wanna finish it for him.

I guess you feel like
you didn't show Junik

enough affection
when he was alive.

I thought eventually I
could open up to him.

He was always such a
warm and sweet man.

All I had to do was
just sit next to him.

Peace and unity are
hard to achieve.

Even in the case of
husband and wife.

I saw your number in Junik's
call history pretty recently.

Were you two seeing each other?

Yeah. Over a month ago.

He showed me the letter he received
from his friend, the one in America.

I thought reunification

was just an option that
was available to us.

But I realize now we're sitting
on a time bomb that is war.

Like death, reunification
is inevitable.

No matter how we
try to avoid it.

It's something that
we have to face.

I still have so
much to learn, sir.

Teach me, please.

After that, he asked
me to join his campaign

to oversee the
reunification initiative.

Did you accept?

The New Republican Party, I just
couldn't imagine joining them.

By the way, are you moving soon?

It looks like you're packing.

Yeah.

Over to Argentina. I have
relatives with a ranch.

Argentina?

You know that I introduced
Junik and Father Yang.

Just because they spoke out
about peace and reunification,

they were both killed horribly.

People in this country
love hate more than peace.

They're obsessed with
faction and division,

and I just don't… I don't
want to live here anymore. So…

Sir.

I'm planning to
run for president.

You're the one who
taught me about the North

when I first returned to Korea to work
at the ministry of foreign affairs.

Even though I did all
my studying in the US,

you were the person I
actually learned from.

Your predictions
about North Korea,

their actions and motives,
have always been accurate.

I need your help, Mr. Im.

Munju.

North Korea is helpless
and they're collapsing.

The US has to intervene. The
North has nuclear weapons.

It's inevitable
that war is near.

Those with compassion

will be crushed under
the wheels of history.

I'm fine with getting crushed,

and so was Junik, and
so was Father Yang.

But if you're
willing to help me,

MUNJU CAMPAIGN OPERATION PLAN

I'll do my best

to change the course
of those wheels.

How were you able to
capture that photo?

As soon as I heard the gunshot,
I just kept pressing the shutter.

I was stunned to see a woman
suddenly enter the frame.

My God, who is that woman?

How could she stand at
gunpoint staring him down?

I think that that's the
question on everyone's mind.

It is evident that Ambassador Seo
just exhibited extraordinary bravery

as she stood unarmed and faced the man
who had just shot and killed her husband.

The news maker
of the week is Seo Munju.

Former UN Ambassador and the widow
of the late assemblyman Jang.

Look at Ambassador Seo's eyes.

The courage and anger.

Even in an extreme situation,
she remains completely composed.

People are now saying

she should've been the
one running for president

and that they'd vote for her
without giving it a second thought.

If Seo does decide
to run for president,

which party do you
think she'll join?

I strongly think she should
join the New Republican Party

and carry out her husband's
political legacy for him.

Her candidacy will only
have meaning if she does.

However, Seo Munju has been

a symbolic figure in the
administration of Chae Kyungsin,

the very face of our
government, in fact.

I know

that you went out of your way

to make sure Junik
lost the primary.

Assemblyman Jang truly was a-a
valuable asset to our party.

Thanks to him, we gained a
strong base of young supporters,

but that was really it.

There are principles that
define who we are as a party,

and a key value
is anti-communism.

Our party was built on the blood
spilled across the 38th parallel.

And well, someone who
doesn't understand that…

He couldn't be our candidate.

So then,

you were glad the
day Junik died?

Why would
you say that, ma'am?

In September, 2015, in Santa
Barbara, California…

…a drunk driver crashed
her car into a bar.

Two were killed and
three seriously injured.

Two Koreans were
arrested at the scene.

A local masseuse
and a prosecutor

who was supposedly there
for overseas training.

Prosecutor Jang Junsang.

She was just someone
I met that night.

I saw her being sexually
harassed and tried to help.

But she panicked and
then ran to her car.

There wasn't enough
evidence to charge me.

There wasn't enough then.

What if there is now?

You know, when my
husband died, he, um…

He left me this huge file
cabinet with drawers.

Kind of funny, right?

After all those
years in politics,

the only thing he left
behind was one file cabinet.

The thing is,

one of those drawers
had your name on it.

HWANG MANGI

And when I opened it, I found
some very interesting things.

So today…

I thought I'd share this.

Look at that face, like
father, like daughter.

I mean, it'd be
embarrassing to deny it.

That
was over 20 years ago!

Everyone in politics had
illegitimate kids then!

The woman told the police
that she was the driver, okay?

I don't remember anything!

Come here, get over here!

Shut up! You better
not say a word…

I spoke to your wife for
the first time in a long time.

-You hear me?
-She's willing to testify against you.

She was gonna stay
silent for her kids.

But she couldn't bear the
thought of her abusive husband

running for president.

Mom did this?

You got my own
mother to help you.

Seo Munju had an
excellent global reputation

as a UN ambassador.

Plus, she's a woman, and female leadership
is the dominant trend worldwide right now.

Leave.

Just say you're going to Germany to
see your kids while they study abroad.

This is what she always
does.

She does, she…

She always makes
me feel like trash.

Well, you can tell her

that since this is where she's taking
things, I'll see you all in hell.

And you should also remember

that when I leave the country,

I won't be empty-handed
when I return.

After this,

your political career
will be finished for good.

I gotta say,

I've always wondered…

What gave you the audacity to plot
with all of those people against Junik?

You remember, showing up at
our house for the New Year

knowing that you
didn't belong there?

Okay, so what is it
that you want from me?

Junsang leaves for
Germany tonight.

And Munju runs for
president this year.

And I want you to
stay out of her way.

Considering her
background with the UN,

some folks are skeptical about her skill
set in managing the government, right?

Well, regarding past presidents who
were diplomats, we've had Choi Gyuha.

South Korea is among the
ranks of the world powers,

which makes diplomacy
a matter of survival.

That's right.

First of all, I'm going
to turn her into a spectacle.

Then, the spectacle will
grow into a phenomenon.

And eventually…

She'll become a legend.

Representative
Hwang, hello!

Is it true Seo Munju
will run in the presidential primary

for the New Republican Party?

As far as I am concerned,

Ambassador Seo Munju is entirely
focused on determining the ideal way

to share the vision of the late
Assemblyman Jang with the world.

You know, truthfully, the biggest
criticism I've faced from my party lately

is that I didn't bring on
Ambassador Seo any sooner!

-Excuse me.
-When will the primary…

What was it that
made the Ambassador decide to run?

Report any issues from the
advance team's inspection,

double-check the contact network
of the local authorities.

Oh, yes,
hold on, please.

Uh-huh. Let me know if
anyone gives you a problem.

And which hospital
did you speak to?

Hi, Miji Yeo, campaign manager.
Yes? Yeah. Uh, three people?

Ms. Seo.

Six different organizations
did a flash poll

on the New Republican Party's
presidential candidate yesterday,

and you've suddenly jumped to first
or second rank in all categories.

PRIMARY CANDIDACY
ANNOUNCEMENT D-6

Wow, do you… Do you have any
clue how nuts it is outside?

I don't know how
they got our number.

The phone's ringing constantly, people
want to volunteer for the campaign!

Man, this is so one of those times where
you say, "You're slaying it, baby girl!"

Did you say, "slaying it?"

So fire, girl!
You're totally lit!

Wait, fire? Why are you…

Anderson, did you
get a hold of him?

Uh, I've been trying
using various channels,

I still haven't
reached him though.

I got his sister's
contact number yesterday.

The minute after I've
heard back, I'll reach out.

Uh, no, I'll try it myself.

Also, Miji, I keep getting
these emails from someone.

Can you do me a favor
and see what it's about?

JOSE KIM SHIV HOLDINGS
INHERITANCE INQUIRY

-I'll forward you everything.
-Yep, got it.

I unlocked Assemblyman Jang's
computer, and his cell phone,

and restored all deleted logs.

Multiple records exist of him
accessing a secure email site.

It's hosted on an
encrypted server.

It's known for airtight security,
that even the FBI can't crack.

Each user is given a fifteen-character
encryption key to use.

You think you could
crack the code?

These SincereMail emails
aren't easy to decrypt.

I can give it a try, but I can't
promise you that it'll work.

Are you in a meeting? I
couldn't get you on the phone.

It's been ringing
constantly, so I put it away.

Get another phone under your aide's
name. It's what everyone does.

This is going well for us.

The first ones to sniff out a rising
politician are the ones with money,

and a lot of those folks are dying
to sponsor you as the candidate.

I mean, I haven't done anything.

We've set the stage for you. Put
the lights on. Music's cued up.

And now it's your turn to show
up and perform for the crowd.

Your debut must dazzle them.

So, let's… let's kick it
off with a triple Axel.

Wait, a triple Axel? How?

This coming Sunday,

your campaign announcement
is at Gwanghwamun Square.

We'll pull in a huge crowd
without using any agencies.

The public sees
you as Joan of Arc.

The woman who stood unarmed in front of
her husband to protect him from a gun.

And we need to keep them seeing you that
way and make them shed tears for you.

The easiest thing
would be for you

to shed some tears of your
own when the time is right.

I don't think that I can.

Do you really want
to be the president?

No one's ever become president
without shedding tears in public.

Crying shows all of them what you value
the most, it's your vulnerability.

And as far as how
convincing everything looks,

well, that's entirely
up to you now, isn't it?

You nail it and that's
your triple Axel.

I've had an experienced writer
draft your speech for you.

Also, the cue is marked where
you should start crying,

so get that down before Sunday.

FORMER UN AMBASSADOR SEO MUNJU

SEO MUNJU

TO ANNOUNCE CAMPAIGN ON THE 19TH

7 P.M. IN GWANGHWAMUN SQUARE

Mr. Hwang?

The
director of the NIS called me.

Why?

Well, he said there's been
suspicious action from the US.

Several Americans flew in
ahead of her announcement.

Who is it?

The CIA?

They weren't the only ones.

Seo could be in a lot of danger.

Cheers.

Come on in, guys.

We received intel that "Red Feather"
Billy Gray arrived in Seoul yesterday.

He's putting on quite
the show for the cameras.

To us, they're still
our brothers and sisters.

The recent Human Rights Commission
report on North Korea was heartbreaking.

Far into the future, when we look back,
and think about what we have done,

I sincerely hope that we will be able
to say that we did the right thing

for the people in North Korea,

who deserve to live a
decent life just like us.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Hello?

Did I wake you?

Why are you calling?

You're about to be a
presidential candidate.

You should be awake already.

If you have something
to say, say it.

If your goal was
to surprise me, you nailed it.

Honestly, it was like I was
slapped in the face. Which is new.

I never thought that you would
stand up to me like this.

You know,

I don't care if you
do become president.

But this is still my term
and I have my own plans.

I told you…

…I'll do whatever I have
to, to stop this war.

If you get in my way,
I will come after you.

Just thought I'd
give you a heads-up.

I was always fond of you.

I wasn't trying to surprise you.
And it wasn't to stand up to you.

But still, I highly doubt
you'll be able to do this.

You don't think I
can manage to stop the war,

but somehow you could do it?

You said, Junik's death was
our chance to work with the US,

to handle it diplomatically.

I disagree.

It's our chance to learn
what really happened.

A diplomatic attempt will
fail if it's rooted in lies.

Hmm, by the way,

I hope you realize…

A candidate without approval from
the US could never get elected

as the president of South Korea,

and they don't want you
leading this country.

So watch your back. I say
that with genuine concern.

5.18 MEMORIAL PARK, GWANGJU

Today will
be a very long day.

The journey you make
from Gwangju to Seoul…

Should serve as a
campaign announcement.

A NEW ERA WITH SEO MUNJU!

Did you see how
many people came out here today?

And they're all in black
to mourn Assemblyman Jang.

MEMORIAL GATE

Hey, you know, I've honestly
always dreamed of this day.

You finally making
your debut in politics.

I have to say, I think this is
possibly the best day of my life.

I took this time to embrace
the stories of those who built Korea

into what it is today, and their
grief, which still lingers.

My next stop is Seoul.

Many of your supporters have
already gathered at Gwanghwamun Square.

-Can you see them?
-Yes, I can see them.

Hi everyone!

You must've been waiting a while. I
hope you're not completely exhausted.

No!

Thank you.

Seo Munju, I need to see her.

Who are you?

I have to speak to her
now. It's an emergency.

You were at the
church, weren't you?

Listen to me. Seo Munju
can't get on that train.

Okay. Uh, Ms. Seo, it's
Changhee on the phone.

-Hi, Changhee.
-Get off that train now, Ms. Seo.

What?

Don't sit down, do you
hear me? Don't sit down!

Ms. Seo.

Paik Sanho, is that you?

You need to stay in that
seat now, don't get up.

Is that clear?

What are you saying?

Stay in your seat, and make sure
you do not get up for any reason.

Are you seeing this? We should
stop broadcasting for a minute.

What should I do?

I want you to try to find
the man that fixed your seat.

Miji.

LIVE BROADCAST WILL RESUME ONCE
THE TRAIN ARRIVES IN 40 MINUTES!

So, I guess he wasn't
even an employee.

Apparently, they only
fix things like that

after the trains are
shut down for the day.

My name is Paik Sanho.

I was special forces in Iraq
running security since 2007.

Terrorists often plant
explosives under seats.

And if I get up
again, it'll detonate?

It will if it has a
pressure release switch.

But if it's a time bomb
it'll detonate at a set time.

First, call the police.

I-I'll call now.

-Which stop is next?
-Asan Station.

-And after that one?
-Gwangmyeong.

See you in Gwangmyeong.

I need to step away.

I'll come right back.

Some guy came and
fixed the seat,

but the railway confirmed he
wasn't one of their workers.

In Iraq, that would likely mean they
planted explosives under the seat.

Ma'am,
you're not in Iraq. You're in Korea.

The police are gonna meet
us at Gwangmyeong Station.

Okay, I'm on the way there.

I'll arrive in 15
minutes at the station.

We're in first
class, car three.

Miji, go talk to everyone else who's
here and get them to another car.

Yeah, I'll make it happen.

What's going on?

We start in an hour.

Just get her here now.

Okay, I'll reach out
when everything's done.

That guy's crazy.

NO. 1 SEOUL

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Police.

Please cut the power here,

and evacuate everyone
from this station.

What about the bomb squad?
Are they on their way?

Ah, they won't
be here for another ten minutes.

All right, folks, please
exit the train quickly.

We're conducting a brief
inspection due to a safety issue.

This way, okay?
This way, please.

Right this way, yes. This
way please. That's right.

Try not to breathe so fast.

What?

Too much oxygen could end up
causing you to feel lightheaded.

This bomb is a standard pressure-release
unit, with a timer set as a fail-safe.

How much time is left?

Six minutes.

Look at me.

The more urgent the mission
is, the more calmly I proceed.

We're having a normal
conversation, all right?

Beer.

If I survive this,

then the first thing I'll
do is have a cold beer.

All right.

First we're gonna switch
seats very carefully,

and then you're gonna
get off this train.

I want to stay here.

No, you can't stay here.

You have a crowd
waiting for you.

It doesn't matter.
Since I lost my baby…

I don't have anyone.

Just follow my lead, okay?

I promise it won't be difficult.

I'll be out soon.

-Get out of there!
-It's too dangerous!

Based on witness
accounts and analysis of CCTV footage

from inside the train, the police
have identified a man in his forties…

…congested with
passengers who evacuated the train.

The explosive device was found
installed under a train seat.

Have you
identified the suspect?

We're still tracking
him, but we'll keep you updated.

So you still
don't know who it is?

For now, would
you all come down to the station

to give statements?

You may want to
cancel the event.

It's best to hold off until after
the investigation's complete.

Continuing today could look
like we're trying too hard.

And safety comes first.

Changhee, what do you think?

Well, I think it
should be your call.

There are no security
concerns for now at the venue.

Are you…

I'll keep going.

This is never gonna be easy,

and I know you all prepared
thoroughly for today.

If we have the police escort us,

I think we can continue my schedule
and head to the last stop tonight.

Understood. Then we'll
proceed as planned.

I'll ride with Ms. Seo.

Yes.

Yes, we're headed to the square now, and
she will announce her campaign as planned.

Uh-huh. I think that we'll
get there in about 20.

THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY

Here. Watch your step.

Candidate has arrived.

Everyone, stand by.

Are you sure you're up for this?

They've been
waiting in the cold.

Why don't you just rest a little? I
don't want you to be nervous out there.

I don't get nervous
talking to a big crowd.

You'll see a teleprompter
on both sides of the podium.

Don't worry.

Everyone, Candidate Seo Munju, let's
give her a great big round of applause!

THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY

WE SUPPORT SEO MUNJU

Keep them back.

And check what's in their hands.

-Please! It's a gift!
-No, it's all right.

Thank you.

We love you, Ms. Seo.

You have my support.
We know you can do it.

SEO MUNJU SAVE US

Many of you here probably
don't know who I am.

And I imagine that those
of you who do know me

only know me as the
widow of Jang Junik.

Good evening, it's nice to meet
you. I'm Seo Munju, an ambassador.

You probably heard that I traveled all the
way here today on a train from Gwangju.

I passed through Daejeon, bringing
with me the warmth of the people,

and their desire for peace.

But in truth, my journey
began long before that.

The words she's speaking
are entirely different.

Want me to cut
the teleprompters?

No, no,
leave 'em on for now.

…my years in America,
studying with the Korean flag

on the wall above me,

all the way to the very tragic
death of my husband Jang Junik

who fought for peace
and reunification,

and up until this day, when I
almost was killed on that train.

The whole time, I was
running toward this moment.

And I wondered, what was that
bomb trying to keep me from?

It was all of you. I
was trying to reach you.

Some people say I can't be the president
because I'm a woman and a diplomat,

and I don't have a traditional
political background.

Some say that I shouldn't
be running for president

with the party of
my late husband.

And some say I'm not
fit to lead this nation

because I spent most of
my life out of Korea.

However, all of you thought
that I could be the one

to bring change to
this great nation.

That I could help us work
towards peaceful reunification.

That I could be a president for the
weak, the forgotten and the unheard.

And everyone who came out here today:
remember, you are the hope for that unity.

I don't know why people
are trying to stop us,

but I know that I'm not afraid, and I
swear that I won't give up this fight,

as I keep on running towards
the goal for hope and change.

For peaceful streets,

happy families, a world
where people have each other.

And also for a nice cold beer to
drink at the end of a long, hard day.

And to make sure we achieve
all of these things,

I'd like to announce that I'm a candidate
for the 21st election of the presidency.

Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!

Congratulations.

Looks like a superstar
is on the rise.

She just landed her triple Axel.

Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!

Did you see that?

She just slayed it.

Every
night in my dreams…

I walked as lightly as a leaf.

And death…

Never scared me.

But I had no idea…

That someone…

Had been holding me
up this whole time.

Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!

Why did you go
back there from Yongsan?

There are a few more
things to work out.

-Where's Ms. Seo?
-She's still talking to those guys.

-Oh, here she comes.
-There she is.

This is a serious case. And
we need your cooperation, sir.

Ms. Seo, are you
ready to head out?

Let's go.

-Hello.
-If this how your candidacy is beginning,

what should we expect as it
gets closer to the election?

Ambassador Seo, wait,
one more question!

Sir,
is there anything…

Mr. Paik.

It's been a really long day.

Is your leg okay?

Yeah, just
a few scratches.

I don't even
know how to thank you.

Mr. Paik, I…

I'm still as confused
as I was earlier.

How did you manage to get to
me at the right time again?

They killed Assemblyman Jang.
And Father Yang after that.

I had a feeling that you
would be the next one,

since you're continuing
the Assemblyman's work.

If you'd have been hit by that bomb,
you'd have been fatally wounded.

Someone is attempting
to send you a message.

That anyone who tries
to stop this war…

Is next to meet that same fate.

You're probably still in danger.

I'll reinforce my security then.

I don't really think
they can manage it.

Valkyrie just
renewed my contract.

No one is able to protect
you as well as I can Ms. Seo.

You should hire me
as your bodyguard.

And why should I trust you?

Do a background check.

Look into the battles I've
fought and the roles I took on.

Feel free. Have me followed.

Why would you do all this?

Seo Munju, you want
to stop this war?

Well, I do too. Okay?

Father Yang left me with a task.

Do you think that I can do it?

I had this dream.

And in it,

I believe that I could do it.

In my dream I was you.

But you're gonna need my help.

Well, my team is…

They're very meticulous.

And they will pour over
everything, Mr. Paik.

Fine. Then I hope that
they can finish it quickly.

You understand that I'm your boss
and you will follow my instructions.

Well, every soldier
knows how to take orders.

However, in case there's an
emergency, you must do as I say.

And then I'm the boss.

Okay, Mr. Paik.

Welcome to the team.

Thank you, very much. Ms. Seo.
