TEMPEST

[helicopter whirring]

[Okseon]
You're entering my world right now.

Forget everything
that's been protecting you.

Your natural rights,
the Constitution and laws of this country,

your diplomatic immunity…

And your tremendous inheritance.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

From this point on, I control everything.

[elevator clatters]

Are you scared?

- Yes.
- [Okseon scoffs]

She's not very afraid, is she?

[groans, pants]

Show her what real fear is.

Show her what true hopelessness
and despair feel like.

Make her so miserable
she wishes she had never been born.

[Munju groaning]

[♪ Dramatic music continues]

[Junsang] Mom, where are we going?

What's your plan?

[Okseon] Junsang,
what do you know about women?

Women want to have the biggest,
the most powerful thing in the world.

And I am about to get my hands on it.

Anyone who gets in my way tonight
won't make it out alive.

That's how your brother died.

Munju will meet the same fate soon.

You'll inherit everything I have,
which means I'm doing all of this for you.

You killed Junik for me?

Now, what do you think you should do?

CERTIFICATE OF THE ORDER
OF MERIT YU UNHAK

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION
YU UNHAK

BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH,

AND I WILL GIVE THEE
A CROWN OF LIFE

YU JONGGIL

[gasping]

She wants to see you, Munju.

[breathing heavily]

Junsang.

I remember the day you became a prosecutor

and the day
you won Prosecutor of the Year.

Junik was so proud

to have such a tough
and talented prosecutor as his brother.

Junsang,

Junik was killed by your mother.

And tonight, countless lives will be
in danger because of her.

[Junsang sighs]

[Munju] The only person
who can stop her right now…

[elevator creaks]

…is you.

[pants]

Shut up.

You don't know what you're talking about.

[ship creaking]

[♪ Ominous music playing]

I have a question, Mother.

How long have you been Stella Young?

[chuckles]

Since 1983, I think.

My whole family was exiled to the US
because of my husband's bribery scandal.

[person, in English] A few days ago,
I was at some charity art auction,

sticking my hand in the air
to win this beautiful piece,

but lost out.
So I turned around to see who'd won

and was blinded by a knockout.

Then three days later…

Would you believe it?
That painting showed up at our front door.

And to think we'd meet again this way,
and me without my sunglasses…

[Okseon, in Korean] That's when
I discovered my hidden talents,

talents for socializing, secrecy,
and conspiracy.

As the wife of a corrupt politician,

I was exactly the kind of contractor
the CIA needed.

Someone to report on Korean politicians
and collect dirt on them.

We need to drive him out slowly
without him even realizing it.

While supporting pro-American politicians,

our company thrived with US backing.

Then we started helping
American defense contractors

sell weapons
to the South Korean government,

and that's when
I finally found my true path.

- Minister…
- A typical arms dealer measures profits

by how many machine guns, mortars,

and surface-to-air missiles they can sell.

But I thought about how many hearts
the bullets I sold would pierce,

how many tanks
the rocket launchers would destroy,

and how many fighter jets
the missiles would take down.

That's when I started
dreaming about submarines.

Strategic nuclear submarines that
could launch ballistic missiles

without anyone ever knowing.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[engine revving]

[car alarm blaring]

- [gunshots]
- [bodyguard groans]

[panting]

[♪ Tense music playing]

[agent] The suspect appears to be
the North Korean agent, Paik Sanho.

Is this North Korea's doing?

We've shut down all major access roads.

All standby units in the area
are moving to the scene.

[officer] All roads around the Blue House
have been shut down.

- [breathing heavily]
- [phone buzzing]

[agency director]
Paik Sanho. What do you want?

[Sanho]
The NIS director is stepping out now.

[groans]

He's strapped with one kilogram of C-4.

It will go off if either of us dies.

We need to secure
a minimum safe distance of 20 meters.

Security Unit One,
move back beyond a 20-meter radius.

[officers chatter on radio]

First, let me show you
what one kilogram of C-4…

[Unhak breathing heavily]

…can do.

"Be faithful unto death,"

"and I will give thee a crown of life."

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[officer gasps]

[agent 2] Are you injured anywhere?

[agent] Director Yu's house just exploded!

What?

You blew up my house?

Was that a verse from the Bible?

Your father, the calligrapher,

was the head
of the Defense Counterintelligence Command

and became a legend
by purging 3,000 leftists.

"If you can't find communists, make them."

Was that one of his lines as well?

You bastard!

[pants]

[agency director] What do you want?

I want to see the president.

THE BLUE HOUSE

Just one minute.

If I can have just one minute
to speak face-to-face with the president,

you can arrest me afterward.

And I'll release
the NIS director unharmed.

Shoot him!
I don't care what happens to me!

Don't let another word
come out of his mouth!

Don't let the president hear another word
from this North Korean spy!

You must not give in
to the terrorist's demands.

Time is on our side, Madam President.

Even in the worst-case scenario, we're
only looking at Director Yu's sacrifice.

Hold your fire until I give the order.

Madam President.

I'm staking both the director's life
and my own on that one minute.

And countless lives depend on it as well.

There's no time.

If any of you have any courage, shoot him!

I'll thank you for it!

What are you waiting for?

Shoot him, you worthless fools!

- [panting]
- [car engine revs]

[officers chattering on radio]

No, Madam President!

You can't speak to him!

Let him go.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[breathes shakily]

You can't speak to him for my sake!

You'll be colluding with a spy!

Now talk.

You have exactly one minute.

August 13th, 2007.

I'm sure it's a day you'll never forget.

Do you like Proust, Madam President?

The French novelist?

No.

I can't stand long-winded talk.

We could spend our precious one minute
debating my taste in literature,

but I'm impatient,

like a true Korean.

Is there anything else you want to say?

If not, we're done here.

His minute's up. Arrest him.

You bastard!

You're plotting something, aren't you?

But you won't live
to meet the president again.

I will make sure of it.

[whispers] And your grandmother?

She died two days ago,

waiting for you.

See?

I told you to ditch that woman
and leave with your grandmother.

You brought this on yourself, you bastard!

[gasping]

I built my reputation by quietly handling
problems for troubled countries.

Becoming the world's top arms dealer
wasn't easy,

but I could always keep my ships moving,

and I had good relationships
with dictators.

Then one day, it hit me.

[journalist speaking Korean on television]

I had the power given by the United States

and the privilege
of accessing North Korea.

Aseom Shipping stated…

[Okseon] The most secretive land on earth

where high-quality weapons could be
produced at any time.

[♪ Ominous music playing]

I built factories there,
developed technology,

and sold weapons to sanctioned countries,

all under complete secrecy.

Because my power came from the fact
that no one knew who I really was.

But I know
this business won't last forever.

That's why I had to create the weapon
of my dreams while I still could.

[Okseon, in English]
Nuclear weapons are actually

a blessing for small countries.

Mutually assured destruction.

If I have a weapon that can
annihilate my opponent even if I die,

in the final judgment,

that puts me on equal footing
as our biggest and strongest enemy.

The great powers always think
they are the only ones

with money and technology
for nuclear weapons.

But…

What if you had a nuclear submarine,
Your Majesty?

Idisha would be unbeatable in any war.

Before the submarine is yours,

let the world know that you fear no one,

that you can press
the nuclear button at any time.

[door closes]

[in Korean]
On August 13th, 2007, in Basel,

we were desperate.

The four-party peace talks
for the Korean Peninsula

were on the verge of breaking down
the next day without any concrete results.

[♪ Calm orchestral music plays]

[in English] Oh, sorry I'm late.

Oh, not at all. We've only just started.

It's great to see you, Munju.

We were discussing my meeting
with Kim Jongkwan,

the North Korean representative,
last night.

Oh, I'm all ears.

Well, we met in the hotel lobby
at 10 o'clock.

[speaking French] N'allez pas trop vite.

[in English] Slow down.

I beg your pardon?

It's what Proust would've said,
Mr. Hughes.

Please slow down a bit. Otherwise,
we'll miss the most important things.

How he came to be there,
whether it was by chance or arrangement,

whether he came alone or with someone.

[in French] Hmm. Ah, yes.
Proust, the Madeleine.

[in English]
But I'm pretty sure he said, uh…

[speaking French] Mais précise mon Cher
monsieur n'allez pas trop vite. [chuckles]

[in English] Wow,
that really, really takes me back

to my French lit graduate thesis.

[chuckles] Wow.

But, Munju,

Patrick is the representative
of the United States.

They are Hemingway fanatics.

They believe that the most important thing
is the one true sentence.

Didn't you know?

That is quite true. However, today,
in honor of Munju,

I shall attempt a Proustian explanation.

If you'll excuse me,
I need to go to the restroom.

As a Korean,
I'm not so patient. [Chuckles]

- [Munju chuckles]
- Of course.

[Munju, in Korean]
China has just persuaded North Korea.

They're asking us to get the US
to shift its position.

The US won't want
to be pressured three-against-one.

So tell him that if they ease up,

we can turn it around and
pressure North Korea three-against-one.

[Kyungsin] The plan succeeded.

And the next day, the four countries
agreed to issue a joint statement.

It was incredible…

like watching four rivers,
each flowing in different directions,

finally come together as one.

So, did you bring me a message that
might change the course of the rivers?

But it didn't change our lives.

While politicians and diplomats
negotiated, issued statements,

held summits, and repeated cycles
of success and failure,

we starved.

We worked like dogs.

And we died like it all meant nothing.

Nuclear missiles were built after all.

I'm not South Korean,
or North Korean, or American.

I came here to deliver a message
to the US president

to make sure no nuclear bombs fall
on any land.

You, Madam President,

have to make that happen.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[phone ringing]

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

Please hand over Paik Sanho now.

You're crossing the line, Madam President.

[Kyungsin]
You're the one who's crossing the line.

[knocks on door]

What is this?

I'm Prosecutor Kang Gyeongtae
from the CIO.

Director Yu Unhak, you're under arrest
for fabricating six espionage cases.

Hold it, you bastard.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

When did you decide to come after me?

When you told me about your plan
to frame Seo Munju as a spy.

I couldn't let such manipulation happen
under my administration.

What do you think a spy is,
Madam President?

A spy is someone that I…

That we have determined
does not belong to this country.

And now, the daughter of a spy returns
and tries to become president?

If the NIS can't even stop someone
like her from becoming president,

then what reason is there for us to exist?

[Kyungsin] Thank you
for your statement, Director.

You can explain the rest in court.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can be used against you…

Once the submarine is delivered tonight…

[ship creaking]

…the King of Idisha will threaten the US.

He'll claim that Idisha's newest submarine
is sitting in the Pacific,

with sixteen nuclear missiles
aimed at the US mainland.

[♪ Mysterious music playing]

I've been waiting for this day
for a long time.

- What's that?
- I have always

believed the King of Idisha was a coward,
too scared to actually fire the missiles.

Well, it's been 80 years
since nuclear bombs were invented,

but they've only ever been used once
after all, so…

You're not actually planning
to launch it yourself, are you?

If I put the launch code in here
and fire the missiles right now…

How do you think today
will go down in history?

"The King of Idisha went mad and launched
nuclear missiles at the United States"?

[laughing]

Do you get it now?

I can commit the most destructive act
in human history

without ever leaving my name behind.

I told you.

Even when I sell a single bullet,
I think about the heart it will pierce.

[Kyungsin, in English]
We have received intelligence

that a submarine is currently headed

to the middle of the Pacific.

By tomorrow,
the King of Idisha could announce

that he'll point a nuclear missile
at the United States.

With all due respect, Madam President,

if you don't mind my asking,

what are you basing this on exactly?

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

Do you believe
the King of Idisha's statement to be true?

You're looking at the transaction records
for 38 accounts across 5 banks.

Camila, I can prove to you that
the one billion dollars transferred

over the last 72 hours is being used
to purchase weapons of mass destruction.

You need to freeze that money
before it reaches the North Koreans.

[Camila] Anderson, you need to calm down.

If this is true, of course, we're going to
freeze the accounts and impose sanctions.

But this is a tremendous amount of data,

and it's going to take time
to check everything.

[car engines revving in distance]

Understood.

The money is coming from Idisha
and going to Aseom Shipping.

[Camila] Wait. Are you trying to tell me
this has to do with that submarine?

Okay. I'm sorry, Camila.
I know I'm putting you on the spot,

but you have to trust me
and freeze those accounts right now.

Anderson, you know I'm taking a big risk
just by talking to you on the phone.

All I can promise you is that
I'm going to do my best.

- Don't move!
- Freeze! On your knees!

Keep your hands up in the air!

[handcuffs click]

[President] Anderson Miller.

Mr. President?

First, you claim that
this submarine doesn't exist,

and now, you're insisting that
it's heading out to the Pacific Ocean.

And tomorrow, it's going to have these
fair United States in its crosshairs.

Do I have that right?

Yes, sir.

Initially, I didn't believe
there was a submarine.

There just wasn't enough evidence.

But something didn't add up.

This capability. They didn't have
the money or the materials.

So to make up for that, their strategy was
to show off the weapons

that they did have
in order to make us think

that they could use them at any time.

I mean, you expect me to believe that
North Korea built a nuclear submarine

but wanted to keep it a secret?

No. That doesn't track, sir.

But what if they got the money
and the materials

from somewhere else?

Mr. President, I can show you five years
of financial transactions

showing that Idisha is purchasing

the submarine from North Korea.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[President] Well then.

What exactly is it you expect us to do?

Freeze the funds
from Idisha to North Korea.

Stop the transfer from happening.

Sir.

You have the power

to take us back
to a world before this thing existed.

[Sanho, in Korean] Madam President.

[phones ringing]

- [in English] Aseom Shipping.
- Hello? Who's calling?

- What do you mean?
- Which bank did you say?

[pants]

[in Korean] It looks like
all our payment accounts have been frozen.

To send the payment up north by midnight,
we need to report to the chairwoman.

- Sir. You must take a look at this.
- Okay.

[dings]

[ship creaking]

[♪ Tense music continues]

Junik was miserable
his whole life because of you.

What?

You were so strongly opposed
to our marriage

that he thought about cutting ties
and started looking into you.

He wanted to understand
why you were acting that way, at least.

And that's how he found out
he wasn't your biological son.

Junik knew that?

And about your unfortunate childhood too.

[Hwarim] She was a poor kid.

She grew up all alone near
a US military base, like a stray dog.

When she was nine, her mother ran off
with an American soldier.

So she fed herself by babysitting
for busy mothers and doing their chores.

[Hwarim] When I married
into the salt merchant's family

as his second wife,

I decided to marry her off
to the eldest son,

lying about her English skills

and claiming she graduated
from Ewha Womans University.

I wanted to have my own person
in the house.

God, I had no idea back then
just how crazy she really was. [Scoffs]

[baby crying]

[Munju]
When you were nine years old, no one knew.

Ever since then,
you've been throwing stones at them.

The stones became bigger and bigger,

and now, they've become missiles.

[chuckles]

I was born to the weakest woman
among powerless women,

in a small country
that couldn't even decide

its own liberation, division, or wars.

And even that woman abandoned me.

Isn't it incredible?

That someone like me can now pay them
back for everything?

All those letters you sent to America
looking for your mother…

[young Okseon]
Mom, please write back to me.

If you'd let me know where you are,

I'll send you a big Christmas present
one day.

I'm sending you a photo I took recently.

It was a beautiful day, and I spent
the whole day thinking about you.

Come on, hurry.

"MAIL"

"RETURNED"

[Munju]
They were returned as "addressee unknown."

But missiles, they don't need
to find a recipient, do they?

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

You seem to think

I'm some kid trying to fire
a nuclear missile at my own mother.

You're wrong.

I wanted to become
the most powerful person in the world.

And how would I do that?

By quietly pressing a button.

Some people brag about
having the world's strongest military,

about their territories, their resources,
and their weapons.

But I'm going to press the button
without anyone knowing,

and be even greater
than the President of the United States.

Why not?

America has no problem starting wars

that could kill millions of lives
in other nations

just to protect itself
from a potential threat.

You wasted your time running around
trying to stop this war.

But in the end,
it'll be me who truly brings peace.

When I press the button,

everyone in the world will forget about
some war on the Korean Peninsula.

They'll be thinking about only one thing.

Peace. Nothing but peace.

For the next thousand years,

humanity will remember tonight.

You think you're a god or something,
don't you?

Yeah, I can feel the thrill from here.

What could be more thrilling than this?

But, Mother,

has it ever occurred to you that
someone might come to stop you?

[door opens]

They're freezing
your shell company accounts.

Doesn't matter.

And, Mom,

I just received an arrest warrant
from the court.

[♪ Ominous music playing]

"ARREST WARRANT
LIM OKSEON"

You're under arrest
on suspicion of Jang Junik's murder.

- [groans]
- Shut up.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Just hold on until midnight.

You have the right to an attorney,
and you have the right to remain silent.

Have you lost your mind?

The true source of the money you sent
to Kim Yongjun under Yeo Miji's name.

The smuggled firearms list

with the serial number
of Kim Yongjun's gun.

I listened to every recording
from your room and Junik's

before and after the incident,
while I was in Germany.

[Okseon] Set up an account

under Munju's aide's name
and send the money through it,

so we can use it as evidence later.

[printer whirs]

"YEO MIJI"

[Junsang]
You couldn't even imagine how I felt

when I found the serial number
of the gun Kim Yongjun used

to shoot my brother
on your smuggled firearms list.

You think that's enough
to put me in prison?

[ship creaking]

You were crying…

When it happened that day.

[Okseon crying]

[Junsang] In Junik's room.

[Yongjun] Mr. Jang Junik!

[gunshot]

[Junsang] Right up until the phone rang.

[phone ringing]

[sighs]

You didn't kill him because of me.

Did you really think
I was that much of a scumbag?

Just once…

Just once, I wanted to have
a real conversation with you, Mom.

I guess we can talk
at the Prosecutors' Office now.

There's a prosecutor here
who's dying to arrest me.

He must think he's on dry land.
Come handle this.

[console beeps]

- [alarm blaring]
- [handcuffs click]

The Coast Guard is on our tail.
You should escape.

[hammer cocks]

[♪ Tense music playing]

[guards speaking Korean]

We're not running.

We fight.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[sirens wailing in distance]

[officer]
You are surrounded by the Coast Guard.

Stop your vessel immediately and stand by.

I repeat, stop your vessel immediately
and stand by.

[announcer, in English]
Attention, all hands.

Come on, it's time to get up.

[announcer]
All hands, man your battle stations.

- We are being pursued.
- [mercenaries clamoring]

All hands, man your battle…

[pants, in Korean] This ship has
two hotlines connected to North Korea.

One's in the control room we were just in,

and the other's up top,
in my mother's bedroom.

Let's call Kim Hansang from there,
tell him the accounts are frozen,

and try to convince him
to turn the submarine around.

RESTRICTED AREA

[in Korean] Requesting backup!

Crew members are resisting
with heavy weapons!

Requesting backup!

[machine guns blasting]

[♪ Dramatic music continues]

Get them.

Kill them if you have to.

Yes, ma'am.

- [groans]
- [Munju whimpers]

[groans]

[Munju] Junsang.

I think I'll be okay.

[Munju] Of course. You'll be fine.

[Junsang] Munju.

[breathing heavily]

Press one on the phone.
It'll connect you to him.

Go.

Turn the submarine around.

When I was a kid…

Junik was all I had.

I always wanted to be at least half
as good as he was.

When he died,
that's the first thing I thought.

"Just…"

"Be half as good as he is."

Junsang, you're going to be okay.

Just hang in there.

I'll be right back.

Go.

[sirens wailing]

[♪ Tense music playing]

[gunshots]

[Kyungsin]
We've found the ship Seo Munju is on.

Find her and bring her back,
no matter what.

But you'll still be held accountable
for the kidnapping of the NIS director,

the bombing of his residence,
and the shootings.

Make sure you come back.

[machine gun blasts]

Get her!

- She went this way. Check everywhere.
- [guard] Yes, sir.

[guard 2] Open it.

[locker doors open]

- Hey, behind you!
- [gunshots]

[♪ ominous music playing]

- [locker door opens]
- [footsteps approaching]

[gasps]

- [guard 3] Quick! Where is she?
- [footsteps approaching]

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[breathing shakily]

I thought I'd die before seeing you again.

I told you I'd be here.

[♪ Tense music playing]

Closing in at over 700 knots.

- A fighter jet.
- Here's the update.

- Sound the alarm?
- Connect me to Control.

[navigator] Something's approaching
from the northeast. Likely a fighter jet.

[radar beeping]

How shall we proceed?

[Munju gasps]

- [gunshots in distance]
- Air Force fighter jets are in the air.

You really need to get out now.

[intercom buzzing]

[helicopter whirring]

[ringing]

Is the payment ready?

The payment won't be made.

The US has frozen all Aseom Shipping
accounts connected to Idisha.

Wait, who's this?

This is Seo Munju.

I'm a former UN ambassador.

[♪ Tense music continues]

Oh, Chairwoman Lim's
troublesome daughter-in-law.

You have to turn the submarine around.

Chairwoman Lim Okseon is planning

to launch a nuclear missile
at the US on her own.

If she succeeds, Idisha and North Korea

will face massive,
indiscriminate retaliation.

The damage would be unimaginable.

The nuclear briefcase is in Idisha.

It'll only be activated
once the payment is made.

Lim has a briefcase too.

This was her plan from the start.

Once the submarine is delivered to Idisha,

she was going to push
the nuclear button herself.

- [helicopter whirring]
- [gunshots in distance]

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

We communicate with
the submarine every two hours.

There's no contact window
for another hour.

Is Lim already at sea,
heading into the Pacific?

That's right.

We've deployed a surface ship
near the submarine.

Once the submarine comes within range,

the command will be transmitted
in real-time.

Are commands transmitted
through the briefcase?

- That's correct.
- So then, if I destroy the briefcase,

the launch command won't go through?

Yes, but you must be careful.

If Lim has the briefcase,

she may have set it up
with a dead man's switch…

[static crackles on phone]

Wait, what does that mean?

[line clicks]

[officer] Closing on the target's stern,
maintaining speed,

radar is clear, preparing to engage.

[airplane approaching]

[Munju] Drop your gun.

Step back.

[alarm blaring]

[groaning]

- [Munju grunting]
- [straining]

[♪ Ominous music playing]

[gunshot]

- [breathing heavily]
- Are you okay?

She's up there.

[nuclear device beeping]

It's over, Mother.

[Okseon grunts]

If I die,

the automatic launch system
in the control room will activate,

and the nuclear missile will
be fired at the United States.

"A dead man's switch."

Once the command is given,
the missile will launch in 10 minutes.

To cancel it, you'd need to enter
this launch code in the control room.

- [gasps]
- [splash]

But it's gone now.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[helicopter whirring]

It'll all be over soon.

I think I spent my whole life…

Dreaming of this moment.

Ten minutes, Munju.

Once I'm dead.

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

[exhales sharply]

There must be a device where
we can enter the launch code.

It's here.

I'll do it.

[intercom buzzes]

Lim Okseon is dead.
Give me the launch code.

[Hansang] It's in the nuclear briefcase.

The King of Idisha.

He has a briefcase too, right?

Is the code the same?
This matters to him too.

Yes, it's the same code.

It has to match the one for the submarine.

Hello?

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

[intercom ringing]

[Nabu, in English]
I received a call from Kim Hansang.

Are you prepared?

Your Majesty.

Eight, seven…

Three, four, nine,

three, zero, two,

six, one, five, four.

That's everything.

[beeping]

It's done.

Thank you.

Hope we talk again soon.

- [computer whirring]
- Likewise.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[sighs]

[alarm blaring]

[in Korean] What's going on?

It's a pressure-release bomb.

There's also a timer set,
just like last time.

If I leave this booth, it'll explode.

- We can stop it with the right code.
- There are

over 20 kilos of C-4.

The whole cargo ship is at risk.

We have to evacuate those people.

[pants] It's not working!

Go. Tell them to evacuate immediately.

What about you?

I'll try to defuse the bomb.

I'm not leaving.

If I have eight minutes left,

I want to spend all of them with you.

[exhaling sharply]

[Sanho sighs]

The more urgent the mission,
the slower I move.

Like I'm doing something ordinary
in an ordinary moment.

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

Just do it like you did before.

Slowly,

like it's nothing special.

I can't. I want to stay here.

There are a lot of people down there.

Peace. Everyone's safety.

Think about the things
you want to protect, Munju.

I don't need peace anymore.

If I walk out that door,

I'll live in hell forever.

Munju, give me a chance.

A chance to defuse the bomb.

Last time, the bomb went off anyway.

But you weren't hurt.
And I made it back to you.

Go to him. The head of the special forces.

Come back with a bomb technician.

Three minutes down, three minutes back.

Even if I only get one minute with you,
I'll come back.

- [panting]
- [alarm blaring]

Is there a bomb technician here?

There's a huge amount of explosives
set up near the engine room.

- It's going to go off in four minutes!
- All units, evacuate.

Evacuate immediately.

Is there a bomb technician here?
There's someone still inside!

Let me go! Now!

No, I have to go back! Let me go!

We'll get you to a lifeboat.

No, I have to go!

Let me go right now! I have to go!

Let me go right now!

Let go!

[Sanho] Munju…

Don't come back.

[♪ Sad music playing]

I want you to keep going. Don't stop.

Just keep going.

Keep moving forward.

I can see you from here.

Let me keep watching over you.

The path you'll be walking,

the people you'll meet.

[no audible dialogue]

[no audible dialogue]

[no audible dialogue]

[♪ Sad music continues]

[Sanho] Grandma.

I think I had a dream.

A dream
where I met a woman I could die for.

I wished I'd never wake up.

Forever.

[sighs]

[journalist, in English]
Peace talks between the US

and Idisha have begun.

Anshar Nabu, the King of Idisha,
and UN ambassador Adele Zimmerman

met at Kirus Alaila Palace today
to sign a cease-fire agreement

as well as to discuss
the withdrawal of US troops…

[committee member, in Korean]
Is it true that your father was a spy?

My father, Seo Hyeongsik, was
falsely accused by the KCIA at the time…

No. Just answer the question.
Is it true or not?

It's true.

Weren't you just accused of espionage?

I was cleared of all charges

after NIS Director Yu Unhak was arrested
for fabricating espionage cases.

A scandalous affair with Paik Sanho,
a North Korean defector.

An unspeakably disgraceful audio recording

was played for the entire nation.
Was that fabricated, too?

Our party's name
was dragged through the mud over that.

Everyone in the country saw it
and heard it.

How can you even show your face here?

Explain yourself and apologize right now!

We have unanimously voted
to expel candidate Seo Munju

for disgracing the party's honor

and violating the duty to uphold dignity.

Candidate Seo Munju! Wait!

Is it true you had
a relationship with Paik Sanho?

Should we take this acceptance
as an admission of all the scandals?

[journalists clamoring]

Do you still trust Mr. Paik Sanho?

My relationship with Paik Sanho,
the North Korean defector, is true.

I don't believe that loving another person

is something that diminishes
anyone's dignity.

However, if the party has judged

that my relationship with him
has tarnished its reputation,

I will respect that decision.

That said,
I firmly believe that Paik Sanho

was more dignified than anyone
who sat on the ethics committee today.

Is there anything else?

- Please elaborate!
- The Aseom Shipping cargo ship fire…

[Kyungsin] You've been through so much.
And… I'm sorry.

We searched every inch of the wreckage
and the surrounding area,

but we still haven't found
Paik Sanho's remains.

But we'll find him, no matter what.

I promise.

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

I want to apologize too.

It must've been so painful

having to choose between handing over
North Korean territory to China,

or risking a war to achieve reunification.

I prayed for days, wishing
I wouldn't have to make that choice.

But it's the president's job
to make those kinds of decisions.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Because of you, I made it back from hell,

but you lost too much.

I made my own choices.
They were my decisions.

The US has requested
you be sent as a special envoy.

They need your help mediating negotiations
between Idisha and North Korea

on the submarine's dismantlement.

And they also have some questions
about the Eagleton-Coldrain scandal.

If I speak out, won't it stir up
public opinion against you?

I'll take care of that.
There's a lot I want you to do.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

[Anderson, in English]
We're almost there. Um…

Remember,
keep it simple for the president.

North Korea built it,

Idisha bought it,
Aseom Shipping connected the two. Um…

Whenever you mention Eagleton,
mention Coldrain and Stella Young.

Um…

Be ready to discuss
dismantling the submarine,

but let him ask you.

Make him feel good, you know.

- [sighs] Hey.
- Hmm?

You got this.

You're not nervous, are you?

About this?

No.

Hey, I, um…

I never visited Korea because
I didn't feel like I had anybody,

but I guess I have you now.

Yeah.

You do have me.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

Um…

I wanted to be the first to tell you

that the president is considering
giving the medal of honor to Paik Sanho.

That's right.

He was an American.

You know,

part of me believes

he's still alive somewhere.

I wish I could've met him.

The president will see you now.

Hey.

You're our only hope now.

I guess

we're in trouble then.

[journalist, in Korean] "One of
the greatest talks I've had in years."

"A strong woman who brought peace
to the world."

Did you see the poll results this morning?

Candidate… I mean, Ambassador,

even though you were disqualified,

you're still polling first
for the New Republican Party

at all eight polling agencies.
First place! [Laughs]

Calm down, Miji.

And remember. I'm no longer a candidate.

It's not just
within the New Republican Party.

Your approval rating
among all presidential contenders

has gone up significantly.

Presidential candidate registration
is open until next week.

Next week.

You can still run as an independent.

Miji, Changhee, I'm not qualified.

When I decided to run before,

it was only to find out
why my husband died,

not because I thought
I deserved to be president.

Still, ma'am.

[sighs] If you ask me,

I don't think there's
anyone more qualified than you.

So just say the word, all right?

And I'll cancel my flight
to the US right away.

I've kept my schedule clear
from the start.

Hey, pal. Know when to stay in your lane.

She's my ambassador.

She's my ambassador.

[all chuckle]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Kyungsin] I'm leaving for Beijing.

Madam President.

I did a lot of thinking last night.

[♪ Hopeful music playing]

About how crucial the next few days,

the next few months,

and the next few years will be
for the future of the Korean Peninsula.

And about how important
the next leader's role will be

once my term ends.

I believe it should be you.

Someone who understands
the challenges of our time,

and has the strength to face them.

I'm thinking of leaving the party
and finding a way to support you

when I get back from Beijing.

I don't think I can do that.

Why not?

I'm still…

Too heartbroken.

That's the kind of president I want.

Someone who's suffered deeply,

but has the strength to push through it,
and becomes stronger for it.

Even though you were a candidate
from the opposing party,

if I support you,
it could send a message of unity.

A leader who takes on the mission
of reunifying the Korean Peninsula

should be capable of at least that much.

Think about it carefully.

- Not from your personal perspective…
- [sighs]

…but from a historical perspective.

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

[Munju] I had a dream. I was this woman.

I didn't believe in God,

but there was a church in my heart.

A place built with pillars
made from my father's bones,

walls plastered with my mother's flesh,

floors washed clean
with my husband's blood,

and where I sent the soul
of my precious little child up to heaven.

Before I came here,

I buried my love in the black hills
and prayed.

Take my peace,
and bestow it upon this land.

And when there is enough peace
for everyone,

enough that no one needs it anymore,

then please,
return to me my poor, lost love.

Even though I don't believe in God,
the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,
or life everlasting,

I know he will live on inside me forever.

[♪ Melancholy music continues]

At my Polaris.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!

"YOUR BATTLE IS OUR BATTLE,
SEO MUNJU"

"YOU GIVE GREAT STRENGTH TO US"

[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!

[crowd cheering]

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

Hello.

My name is Seo Munju.

I stand here today to announce
my candidacy

for the 22nd presidential election
of the Republic of Korea.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!
