TEMPEST

We couldn't stop this war after all.

For one last time…

I want you to pretend…

this is just an ordinary day.

If this were just an ordinary day…

and we were just
an ordinary man and woman…

I would be asking you…

"Who are you really?

Why did you come to me?

Would you really

take a bullet for me?

And why…

Why do I see you in my dreams?"

I've never been
afraid of anything…

until I felt the fear…

of something happening to you.

I was scared you'd get hurt

and I wouldn't be there in time.

That's why, even in my dreams,
I held on to you.

I was afraid I'd lose you there too,

when I had nothing left in this world.

Honestly, I really
don't care about the war.

I only want to run away with you, Munju.

Let's go.

You mean that?

I mean it.

Let's escape together.

Where were you thinking of taking us?

How about the Gobi Desert?

The Gobi Desert?

I spent two years there, after defecting.

I had a lot I needed to forget.

My father, my mother, and my grandmother
who told me to never return.

I looked at the stars moving slowly.

And, as always,
one star remained unchanged.

Polaris.

Whenever I looked up at the sky,

it felt like nothing else existed,
just me and that star.

It didn't matter that I had
no family, no homeland.

I felt like I could go anywhere I wanted.

Could I join you there?

Do you have something
that you wanna forget?

My Mother's hands.

Rough and worn, from years of working
at the grocery store,

a factory, and a nail salon.

She'd come home exhausted
and immediately collapse into bed.

I wanted to protect those hands.

In the end, I failed to do that.

So that's why you came to Korea?

After my dad died,

my mother ran as far as she could
and ended up in the States.

I thought that we all belong to a country,

the way we all have a mother.

And for me, that country was Korea.

That's why I thought it was important

that I eventually came back
to serve in office.

That's why you wanted
so badly to stop the war?

As much as I wanted
to protect my mom's hands.

And once again, I failed.

Brimming with
the hopes of this great people's republic,

the newest nuclear submarine
has been revealed in all its splendor

in time for tomorrow's
historic launching ceremony.

The nuclear submarine,

which for decades had been a symbol of
aggression against our republic,

has now come to symbolize
the power of our people,

- that speaks directly to the hearts…
- That's the submarine we're trying to hit?

- That's the submarine we're trying to hit?
- This is a momentous and joyful event.

Jesus Christ.

It's an entirely different vessel
from what we'd anticipated.

This submarine is a 3,000-ton
Romeo class model,

heavily modified
from an old Russian design.

That hull won't be able to withstand
the pressure of a missile launch.

They've installed the missile deck
behind the bridge for no obvious reason.

From a design perspective, this submarine
offers no functional effectiveness.

Late last night, a reckless U.S.
reconnaissance airplane

trespassing in our territory
was shot down.

Let this be a warning.

We are a nuclear-armed state, and our
military does not make empty threats.

The kind of world you wake up to
tomorrow is up to you.

That Anderson video
is spreading like wildfire.

Are you really going to
start a war over a submarine?

We'll look into the submarine,
but that's not what's important right now.

This war is a struggle between
democracy and despotism.

So if we back down now,
we are surrendering our future

to this string of dictatorships
from China to Russia to Idisha,

all the way to North Korea.

I'm afraid we have
a little problem, Madam President.

Indeed, Mr. President.

In the present situation,

it would be difficult for me
to persuade our people

to endure the sacrifice of war.

Let's set aside the recon jet incident.

The timing wasn't right
for us to retaliate.

We'll find another way.

As I've mentioned before,
this is our last chance.

If we lose this opportunity,

the free world will be in peril.

I'm going to do everything
I can from over here,

but I'll also need you
to do something for me.

Seo Munju, your former ambassador.

She has been, uh, quite a nuisance.

I'd thank you to take care of her.

At 11:51 p.m. last night,

a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft
on a routine mission

to survey the Korean peninsula,

was shot down when North Korean ground
forces launched a surface-to-air missile.

In response, our military had issued
a Level Two defense alert,

and the CFC has now elevated
WATCHCON to its second highest level.

In prompt response,
the Civil Defense Alert Control Center

issued a preliminary warning,
which has now been lifted.

Our government and military remain
unwavering in our steadfast commitment

to protecting the lives and safety of
our people under any circumstances.

We ask all citizens to stand firm with
the same courage and unwavering trust,

and to return to their daily lives.

In times of crisis like this…

- Luckily, the true crisis was averted.
- …national unity matters the most…

- So it wasn't a complete failure.
- …and we must protect one another.

- Yeah, but this is just the beginning.
- The Republic of Korea

will neither retreat nor falter,
no matter the circumstances.

Seo Munju,
your former ambassador.

She has been, uh, quite a nuisance.

I'd thank you to take care of her.

I understand, Mr. President.

She will no longer be an issue.

PRESIDENT CHAE URGES CITIZENS
TO RETURN TO DAILY LIFE

President Chae still has serious concerns.

None of this is over yet.

PRESIDENTIAL REPORT

WAR IMMINENT ON KOREAN PENINSULA?

TENSIONS MOUNT, IS WAR NEXT?

The media responses to your speech, ma'am.

NO TRUST IN KOREAN OR US PRESIDENT

SEO MUNJU DEEMED TRUSTWORTHY

IF NOT FOR HER, WAR WOULD'VE ERUPTED

SEO'S STATEMENT DRAWS ATTENTION…

IS SHE THE ONLY VOICE PEOPLE TRUST?

They're mostly saying we can't be trusted.

And Seo Munju became their Joan of Arc.

North Korea unveiling that submarine,

is now proof that
Anderson's claims were true.

So now the people seem to believe
that averting war was Munju's doing.

If we run a poll now,
her ratings would be off the charts.

In all your years in politics,

have you ever had to manage
a crisis as bad as this?

No, I have not, ma'am.

It's tricky, isn't it?

Even with the support of
the entire nation,

this would be difficult to navigate.

And yet,

Munju has turned public opinion
against me, hasn't she?

Should I accept that from her?

Absolutely not.

War starts with public opinion.

To win a war against North Korea,
Madam President,

Seo Munju is the first of many obstacles.

We have prepared for this situation
for some time now.

You say there are plans.

For Munju, is that what you mean?

If you give me some time, I can explain.

It's been ten minutes.

Today the President made
a public statement

regarding North Korea's downing of
an American aircraft.

President Chae stated that…

…the nationwide warning issued last night
has now been lifted.

She also assured that the government
and military will stand firm,

and uphold their duty to protect
the safety of the citizens

under any circumstances…

Miji?

Ms. Seo, Changhee is finally awake.

He's okay?

Changhee, how are you doing?

They released him from
the ICU to a private suite.

Luckily, they fixed
the internal bleeding in surgery.

Seriously, I'm fine.

Listen,

there's something you need to know.

On that morning

when the password was finally cracked,

I unlocked the phone thinking that I'd
finally gotten in to his secure emails,

but instead…

Yes!

I noticed unread messages on his Telegram.

SEP 7

INCOMING CALL 11 P.M. TOMORROW

Now, we award the highest honor given

in the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea,

- The Order of Kim Il Sung!
- This is the state's founding anniversary.

"77TH FOUNDING
ANNIVERSARY OF DPRK"

Comrade Jang Junik!

Comrade Jang Junik has devoted his life
to stopping the vile and treacherous war

by the traitors and imperialists,
and to reunifying our nation.

He leaves behind a most heroic legacy,
that will go down in our history.

Though today we are unable to pin
this medal on your uniform,

when the day of reunification comes,

you shall return without hesitation
to claim this great honor.

He really was a spy.

I just couldn't believe it was true.

So I tried to find out
who sent the message to him.

This is Assemblyman Jang Junik's
chief secretary, Park Changhee.

He confided in me that
he had intentions to prevent the war.

Could we meet?

BAENGNYEONSAN BOOKSTORE,
SEOMGWANGRO 24

HYORIM-DONG,
SEODAEMUN-GU, AT 10:00

To meet at Hyorim-dong,

you'd pass through
Seomgwang Tunnel, right?

They must have ambushed him there.

We were in Hyorim-dong that day
at Kang Hanna's house.

Kang Hanna?

Well, who's that?

- Look at these, Grandma!
- Oh!

Oh! Let me see.

I've pictured this moment, Mother.

- That's so pretty.
- Ever since the moment I met Junik.

- I dreamed of living in this house.
- How lovely!

- That's lovely.
- I knew my dreams would come true.

I mean, I had Eunseong.

I'm used to always getting what I want.

- Here, grandma!
- Now all that's missing

is Junik to complete the picture.

A house, a son, and a husband.

You're lucky.

The one you don't have
is the least important.

Ah…

Mother, why did you bring Eunseong
to your room last night?

I couldn't get back to sleep
after the siren woke me up.

And I've always slept better
with the children next to me.

I think there's a good chance

Stella Young and Kang Hanna
are the same person.

What do you mean?

All the countries where
that arms dealer's been seen.

Somebody who imported
structural steel plates from Poland,

precision sensors from Switzerland,
and engineers from Sweden.

Kang Hanna and her son

were in those places.

Malmö, Sweden,
in 2022, when I was six.

I have a lot more.

I've traveled around a lot.

Katowice, Poland. Lausanne, Switzerland.

If Kang Hanna is the same as Stella Young,

do you think she killed Junik?

Changhee, do you have the Telegram ID
of the person who sent the video?

Yeah, one second.

Number is

010-6133-8758.

I found this in one of
Father Yang's bibles.

That's the card Sergeant Kim had.

I saw a photo of a card
with this number on his phone.

The photo…

SEND

Junik had the exact same card.

Oh, look! You're doing
so good honey, you're a natural.

That's it. Very good.

I really admire you, Mother.

You raised Junik.

All your heart went into it,
even though he wasn't your own.

I mean, I gave birth to Eunseong
and I can barely handle him.

So someone said something to you?

Grandmother told me.

She told me Junik was born
out of wedlock as well,

so Eunseong should never be
made to feel different either.

Before Junik died,
do you think he knew that?

I'm guessing not.

Grandmother said you worked really hard
to keep the truth from him.

I had to make a choice.

The first time I held him
as a newborn, I decided…

he'd be my son for as long as he lived.

Which is exactly how it went.

That day…

The day Junik was killed.

He was about to tell me something.

What's going on?

Why won't you just tell me?

Why don't we talk tonight?

To be honest, it's a long story.

He was going to explain it to me.

Why did Junik become a spy, Sanho?

If the submarine isn't real,

then China and North Korea
are just puppets.

And some third party is
the one pulling the strings.

If becoming a spy
is the only way to learn the truth,

then I think I'd become one, too.

You have to draw the line here.

If your husband was a spy or not,

whether Kang Hanna killed him or not,

that'll remain between them.

Or you'll be sucked into this whirlpool
before you realize it.

You need to get out to survive.

Right now, Munju.

Your only option is to leave.

Hi, Miji.

Where are you right now?

Why?

You gotta get out.

The whole house is bugged.

Shocking news.
Where is presidential candidate Seo Munju?

And what is she doing with
her handsome North Korean bodyguard?

Seo Munju, the widow of Assemblyman Jang,
hired Paik Sanho to protect her.

They first met at the place
where her husband was shot and killed.

Beginning a relationship in secret,
they started living together.

But who could blame a lonely widow

for falling in love
with her dashing bodyguard?

However, according to
a recent tip we received,

her bodyguard, Paik Sanho,
is from North Korea.

Was it really a coincidence that
he became Seo Munju's bodyguard?

Who was really benefiting from her
exposure of the North Korean submarine?

What if Ambassador Seo
is being used by North Korea?

The two of them are together as we speak.

Seo Munju and Paik Sanho are
currently staying in a secluded hideout.

We have obtained a recording of
a private conversation from last night.

Honestly,
I don't really care about the war.

I only want to run away with you, Munju.

Let's go.

You mean that?

I mean it.

Let's escape together.

Get media responses.

I want to know what they're saying
about Ms. Seo every three hours.

And look into all of our legal avenues
against this Freedom Lab channel.

That's enough.

There's no bugs in here.

I don't regret anything that happened.

I was happy.

If nobody wants me here anymore,

I can just leave.

If this is how it ends,

it's fine.

Let's go.

I can get you outta here.

There's a ship that's leaving tonight.

Are you going somewhere?

I'll come back soon.
Just pack up and wait for a while.

Where are you going?

I'll explain it to you later.

I'll go with you.

You're safer waiting here.

You can have a gun
and know how to shoot it,

but it's different when it comes
to killing someone.

In war, the one who shoots their enemy
first is the one who gets to go home.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

I'll be back soon.

SEO MUNJU SCANDAL ESCALATES

'SEO MUNJU SHOCK'
SENDS KOSPI DOWN 2.94%…

WILL SEO FALL AFTER HER METEORIC RISE?

ENJOYING A SECRET RENDEZVOUS

A MONTH AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH…

Honey! Oh my God.

Okseon, did you hear?

I thought she was an innocent lamb,
but she's a filthy whore!

Oh, my poor Junik.

- I'm sure he's spinning in his grave.
- Yeah, I hear you, Mother.

Can we do this later, though?
I have a phone call to make.

Director, I need to speak to you.

Let's go.

You mean that?

I mean it.

Let's escape together.

Nowadays, these advanced
programs and hardware

allow a greater range of transmission.

It's also battery-free,
so it can be used indefinitely.

This one's been upgraded a fair amount,

compared to the one you gave
to the Japanese ambassador.

The recordings
are automatically backed up

real-time to the cloud,

so even if it gets damaged,
the files are safe.

Let's go.

You mean that?

I mean it.

Let's escape together.

There was another bug.

How many did you plant?

What are you talking about?

We agreed on a wiretap to monitor her,
and then you broke it.

And that's all we got.

Now get off of me!

How did you know I was going to Mongolia?

Talk!

Who else would listen
and release those files?

Drop your weapon.

Paik Sanho,
you're under arrest for espionage.

Keeping busy?

Rounding up innocent men for espionage?

No.

You're a real spy.

We're well aware Kim Hansang hired you.

Let's go.

You don't realize that the entity
paying you through Valkyrie is a bank

based out of Macau, Cheonil Credit.

It's a North Korean state-bank
used for their foreign weapons purchases.

Every financial transaction is
personally signed for by Kim Hansang.

In other words, you're merely
a North Korean pawn

hired to eliminate the Ambassador.

Now, tell me,

was it also your plan to make her
fall in love with you?

All thanks to you, Seo Munju
has fallen completely from grace.

By the way, your grandmother

wanted you to have this.

You said you would come get her,
but then you never did.

That poor woman was so worried.

She's with our people now.

I told her you'd come for her,

once you're finished with your work.

You assholes…

I'm giving you a second chance here.

A ship is leaving
Pyeongtaek Port tomorrow night.

You and Seo Munju
were escaping to Mongolia, right?

Before that ship can cross
the maritime border,

our coast guard will seize it.

You'll be presumed to have escaped,

jumping into the sea during the raid

while Seo Munju

is caught as a spy,
defecting to the North.

But you could take your grandmother,
and go wherever you want.

Good.

You're making the right decision.

Get him outta here.

Who are you, really?

We agreed
on a wire tap to monitor her!

Why did you come to me?

Was it also your plan to make her
fall in love with you?

All thanks to you, Seo Munju
has fallen completely from grace.

Ground floor.

"Don't trust
the people closest to you."

"Always have an escape plan."

"Never go back to Korea."

Munju!

Munju!

Munju!

Where are you?

Munju!

"Never go back to Korea."

Dear Mom…

I always remembered what you told me.

I remembered because
I wanted to prove you wrong.

But I trusted him.

I really thought he had come to save me.

I was a fool.

I was a fool.

What do I do now?

I have nowhere left to go.

SEO MUNJU

SEO MUNJU,
THE SUBMARINE EXISTS

WHO IS THIS?

GEUMSEOL PORT,
NOVEMBER 2 AT 22:00
