TEMPEST

You're
entering my world 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.

From this point on, one
person controls everything.

Are you afraid?

Yes.

Does she look afraid to you?

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.

Mom,
where are we going?

What are you planning?

Junsang, what
do you know about women?

Women want to have the biggest, and
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're going to inherit
everything I have.

And that means that
I'm doing this for you.

You murdered Junik for me?

So 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

She wants to see you, Munju.

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 talented and tough
prosecutor as his little brother.

Junsang, listen.

Junik was murdered
by your mother.

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

You're the only one
who can stop her.

Nobody else can.

Shut up.

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

I have a question, Mother.

How long have you
been Stella Young?

Since 1983.

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

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…

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.

From then on, submarines
became my dream.

Strategic nuclear submarines that
could launch ballistic missiles

without anyone ever knowing.

Suspect appears to be
North Korean agent, Paik Sanho.

-Is North Korea doing this?
-We've shut down all major access roads.

All standby units are
moving to the scene.

Shut down all surrounding roads.

All roads around the
Blue House have been shut down.

Paik
Sanho. What do you want?

The NIS director
is stepping out now.

He's got one kilogram
of C-4 strapped to him.

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.

First, let me show you what
one kilogram of C-4 can do.

Stand by.

"Be faithful unto death…"

"And I will give you life."

Oh, my God. Did you
see that? Hey, what's going on?

Do you
have any injuries?

Director Yu's
house just exploded!

You blew up my house?

Was that a verse from the Bible?

Your father was the head of the
Defense Counterintelligence Command.

He became a legend by
purging 3,000 leftists.

Was he also the one
who would say that…

"If you can't find communists,

-make them"?
-Son of a bitch!

What do you want?

I want to see the
president immediately.

The president has arrived.

"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 afterwards.

And I'll release the
NIS director unharmed.

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

Don't let one more word
come out of his mouth!

Not another word!

Don't let her hear another word
from this goddamn North Korean spy!

Madam President, you can't 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.

Countless lives are
depending on it.

There's no time.

If any of you have even an ounce
of courage, shoot him right now!

I'll commend you for it!

What are you waiting for?

Shoot him, you
worthless bastards!

No, Madam President!

Don't speak to him!

Let him go.

Don't do it! Listen
to me. Don't do it!

You'll be colluding with a spy!

Start talking.

You have one minute.

Go.

August 13th, 2007.

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

Do you like Proust,
Madam President?

Proust? The French novelist?

I don't.

I really can't stand
long-winded writing.

We could spend our precious time
debating my taste in literature,

but I am very impatient,

like a true Korean.

Anything else you want to say?

If not, then we're done here.

His minute's up. Arrest him.

You son of a bitch!

You're plotting
something, aren't you?

But you won't live to speak with the
president ever again. You understand?

I will make sure of it.

And your grandmother?

She died two days ago,

waiting for you.

See?

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

You brought this on
yourself, you bastard!

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

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

even so, I could always
keep shipments moving,

and I had good relationships
with dictators.

Then one day, it hit me.

I had the power
given by the United States

and the privilege of
accessing North Korea.

Aseom Shipping stated…

The most
secretive land on earth

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

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.

However, I know this
business won't last forever.

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

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're the only ones

with the 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.

On August 13th, 2007, in Basel…

We were desperate.

The four-party talks for
peace on the Korean Peninsula

were going to break down the next
day without any concrete results.

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.

N'allez pas trop vite.

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.

Hmm. Ah, yes.
Proust, the Madeleine.

But I'm
pretty sure he said, uh…

Mais précise mon Cher
monsieur n'allez pas trop vite.

Wow, that
really, really takes me back

to my French lit
graduate thesis.

Wow.

But, Munju,

Patrick is the representative
of the United States.

They are Hemingway fanatics.

Mmm.

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.

Of course.

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 back off a little,

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

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 nothing anyone
did changed our lives.

While politicians and diplomats
negotiated, issued statements,

held summits, and repeated
cycles of success and failure,

we starved, 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 make sure

no nuclear bombs
fall on any land.

Madam President,

you have to make that happen.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

Please hand over Paik Sanho now.

You're really crossing
the line, Madam President.

You're the one
who's crossing the line.

What do you want?

I'm Kang Gyeongtae from the
Corruption Investigation Office.

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

Hold on, asshole.

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 that kind of 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 that from happening,

then what reason is
there for us to exist?

Thank you for
your statement, Director.

You can explain
the rest in court.

You're under arrest. You have
the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you…

Once the submarine
is delivered tonight…

…the King of Idisha will
threaten the United States.

He will claim that
Idisha's newest submarine

is sitting in the
middle of the Pacific,

with sixteen missiles
aimed at the US.

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

-What is that?
-I've always believed

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

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

but they've only ever
been launched once.

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

If I put the missile 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"?

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 that it will pierce.

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,

you don't mind my asking,

what are you basing
this on exactly?

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

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

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.

Understood.

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

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!

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.

It was 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.

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.

Madam President.

-Aseom Shipping.
-Hello? Who's calling?

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

Looks like our payment
accounts have all been frozen.

If we're gonna send the
payment up north by midnight,

we need to report to the chairwoman.

Yeah. I got it.

Junik was miserable his
whole life because of you.

What?

You were so opposed to our marriage
he considered cutting ties with you.

He wanted to understand why
you were acting that way.

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

Junik? He knew about that?

And he knew about
your childhood also.

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.

-What is that?
-When I married

into the salt merchant's
family as his second wife,

I decided that I
would marry her off

to the eldest son,

lying that she spoke good
English and went to university.

I wanted to have my own
person in the house.

I had no idea back then how
crazy she really was.

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.

I was born to the weakest woman
in a powerless, small country

that let other countries
decide its wars and fate.

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…

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"

They were returned
as "recipient unknown."

But missiles tend to find
the recipient, don't they?

You seem to think

I'm some kind of child 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
make that happen?

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.

No one will know.

And I'll be greater than the
President of the United States.

And 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 breath running
around trying to stop this war.

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

Because when I press the button,

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

They'll be thinking
about one thing.

Peace, and nothing but peace.

And for the next thousand years,

humanity will remember tonight.

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

Yeah, I can see the thrill
you're getting from all this.

What could be more
thrilling than this?

Tell me, Mother.

Has it ever occurred to you that
someone could try to stop you?

They're freezing your
shell company accounts.

Doesn't matter.

And, Mom,

I just received an arrest
warrant from the court.

"ARREST WARRANT LIM OKSEON"

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

Shut up.

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

Just hold on until midnight.

You have the right to remain silent.
And you have the right to an attorney.

Are you insane?

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

The list of illegally
imported firearms

with the serial number of
the gun Kim Yongjun used.

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

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

Set up an account

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

so we can use it
as evidence later.

"YEO MIJI"

The serial number
of the gun Kim Yongjun used

was found on your list of
illegally imported firearms.

That's how I was able to
secure all the evidence.

You really think that's
enough to send me to prison?

That day…

You were crying
when it happened.

In Junik's room.

Assemblyman Jang.

Right up
until the phone rang.

You didn't murder
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 speak at
the Prosecutors' Office.

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

He must think he's on dry land.
Come here and take care of it.

The Coast Guard is on our tail.
You should go. Try and escape.

Shots fired!
Hey, get over here. Quick!

Get over here! Move!

We are not running.

We fight.

This is the Coast
Guard. You are surrounded.

Stop your vessel
immediately and stand by.

I repeat, stop your vessel
immediately and stand by.

Attention, all hands.

Come on, it's time to get up.

All hands,
man your battle stations.

We are being pursued.

All hands, man your battle…

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 and
tell him the accounts were frozen,

and try to convince him to
turn the submarine around.

"RESTRICTED AREA"

Let's go! Come on!

Requesting backup!

Crew members on the cargo ship
are resisting with heavy weapons!

Requesting backup!

Go get them.

Kill them if you have to.

Yes, ma'am.

Junsang.

I think I'll be okay.

Of course.
You'll be fine.

Munju.

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

Go.

Turn this thing 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 was
the first thing I thought.

"Just be…"

"…half as good as he
is."

Junsang, you're
going to be okay.

I'll be back. Just
hang in there.

I'll be back, okay.

We've found
the ship Seo Munju is on.

Find her and bring her
back, no matter what.

However, you're still going
to be held accountable

for the abduction of the NIS director,
for bombing his home and the shootings.

Make sure you come back.

Get her!

No, this way.

Yeah. Here.

I thought I'd die
before I saw you again.

I told you I'd be here.

Closing in at over 700 knots.

-Likely a fighter jet.
-I'll report the situation.

Connect me to the Control Room.

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

What do we do?

Air Force fighter jets are inbound.

You need to leave now.

Is the payment ready?

The payment won't be made.

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

Who is this?

This is Seo Munju.

I'm a former UN ambassador.

Huh, Chairwoman Lim's
daughter-in-law.

You have to turn the
submarine around.

Lim Okseon is planning to
launch a nuclear missile

at the US on her own.

If she succeeds,
Idisha and North Korea

will face indiscriminate
retaliation.

The damage would
be unimaginable.

The nuclear briefcase
is in Idisha.

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

Lim also has a briefcase.

This was her plan
from the start.

Once the submarine is delivered,

she was going to push the
nuclear button herself.

We communicate with the
submarine every two hours.

And we can't reach
them for another hour.

Is Lim already at sea, heading
into the Pacific Ocean?

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.

You're transmitting commands
through the briefcase?

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

the launch command
won't go through?

Yes, but you have to be careful.

If Lim has the briefcase,

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

Wait, what's that mean?

Closing in on the
target's stern, maintaining speed,

radar is clear,
preparing to engage.

Drop your gun.

Step back now.

Are you okay?

She's up there.

It's all over, Mother.

The launch system

in the control room will
automatically activate if I die.

And the missile will be
fired at the United States.

"A dead man's switch."

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

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

And now it's gone.

Soon it'll all be over.

I've spent my life…

Dreaming of this moment.

Ten minutes, Munju.

As soon as I'm dead.

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

It's here.

You should stay out here.

Lim Okseon is dead.
Give me the launch code.

The launch code
is in the nuclear briefcase.

The King of Idisha.

He has a briefcase, right?

Is the code the same?
We have to speak to him.

Yes, it's the same code.

It has to match the
one for the submarine.

Hello?

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.

It's done.

Thank you.

Hope we talk again soon.

Likewise.

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, then
the bomb's going to explode.

-We can stop it if we get the code right…
-There's over 20 kilos of C-4.

So the whole ship is at risk.

We have to evacuate
those people.

It's not working!

Go. Make them evacuate.

What about you?

I'll try to defuse the bomb.

I'm not leaving.

If I have eight minutes to live,

I want to spend all
eight of them with you.

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

We're having a normal conversation,
all right? Nothing out of the ordinary.

Do it just like before.

Slowly,

like it's nothing special.

I can't. I want to be here.

There are too many
people down there.

Peace. And everybody's safety.

Think about the things you
want to protect, Munju.

I don't need peace anymore.

If I leave now, I'll be

living in hell the
rest of my life.

Munju, I need you
to leave right now.

Give me a chance
to defuse the bomb.

Last time, the bomb
went off anyway.

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

Go to him. The head
of the special forces.

Come back with a
bomb technician.

Three minutes down,
and three minutes back.

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

Stay down!

-Down!
-Don't move!

-Over here.
-I said don't move!

-No.
-Shut up!

Here!

Is there a bomb technician here?

There's explosives
near the engine room.

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

-Evacuate!
-Evacuate immediately.

-Come on! Go, go!
-Move!

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

-Move!
-Hey, hurry up! We gotta…

Let me
go! Let me go! Now!

No, I have to go! Let me go!

We'll get you on a lifeboat.

No, I have to go back.

Let go of me!

-Let go of me right now! I have to go!
-Come on.

Let go of me! Let go!

I have to go back!

Munju…

Don't come back.

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.

Grandma.

I think I had a dream.

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

I wish I could stay asleep

forever.

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…

Is it true
that your father was a spy?

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

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

He was a spy.

You were recently accused of
espionage yourself, correct?

I was cleared of that

after Yu Unhak was arrested for
fabricating espionage charges.

You also were involved in an affair
with North Korean defector Paik Sanho,

an audio recording too
disgraceful to mention

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

Because of that, our party's
name was dragged through the mud.

Everyone in the country
saw it and heard it.

So how can you even
show your face here?

Explain yourself and apologize!

We have all unanimously voted
to expel candidate Seo Munju

for disgracing the party's honor

and violating the duty
to uphold dignity.

Oh, wait! Miss Seo Munju!

The rumors of my relationship
with Paik Sanho are real.

I don't believe that
loving another person

is something that can ever
diminish anyone's dignity.

But if the party has judged

that my relationship has
blemished its reputation,

I will respect that.

However, I firmly
believe that Paik Sanho

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

No question.

You've been through
so much. And I'm sorry.

We've searched through the
wreckage and the surrounding area.

But we haven't found
Paik Sanho's remains.

Even so, we'll find
him no matter what.

I promise.

And I'd like to apologize.

It must've been so painful

having to make a choice between
handing over North Korean territory

or risking a war to
achieve reunification.

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

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

I'm so sorry.

I appreciate it.

Because of you, I made
it back from hell,

but you lost too much.

All my decisions were my own.

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

They need your help mediating
with 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.

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.

-Uh, 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.

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.

"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 from this morning?

Candidate… I mean, Ambassador,

even though you were
disqualified as a candidate,

you're still polling first
for the New Republican Party

at all eight polling agencies.
First place!

Calm down, Miji.

And remember. I'm
not a candidate.

It's not just within the
New Republican Party.

Your approval rating among
all presidential candidates

has gone up significantly.

Presidential candidate
registration is open…

…until next week.

You can always still
run as an independent.

Miji, Changhee, I can't do it.

When I was running before,

it was only because I wanted to
find out why my husband died,

not because I thought I
deserved to be president.

Still though, Miss Seo.

If you ask me,

I don't believe that anyone even
comes close to being as qualified.

So just say the word, all right?

And I'll cancel my
flight to the US.

You know, I've kept my schedule
open if you need anything.

Hey, listen. Know when
to stay in your own lane.

She's my ambassador.

She's my ambassador.

Hello?

I'm
leaving for Beijing.

Madam President.

I did a lot of
thinking last night.

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
subsequent leader's role will be

once my term ends.

I believe it should be you.

You know the strength it takes to
face the difficulties of our time.

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 it.

Why?

Because I'm still…

Too heartbroken.

That's the type of
president I want.

Someone who's suffered deeply,

but still has the strength
to push through it,

and becomes stronger from it.

Even though you were a candidate
from the opposing party,

if I endorse you, it would
send a message of unity.

A leader trying to reunify
the Korean Peninsula

should be capable of
at least that much.

Think about it carefully.

Not from your personal perspective…

…but from a historical
perspective.

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 place, 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
inside me forever.

On, my Polaris.

Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!

"YOUR BATTLE IS OUR
BATTLE, SEO MUNJU"

"YOU GIVE GREAT STRENGTH TO US"

Seo
Munju! Seo Munju!

Hello, citizens.

Welcome.

My name is Seo Munju.

I stand here today to
officially announce my candidacy

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

Seo
Munju! Seo Munju!
