(ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
PLACES AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL)

It’s a bomb! I found an explosive!

Please evacuate! It’s a bomb!

Please back away! A bomb has been found!

- Please evacuate!
- Evacuate the area!

- This way.
- Please evacuate.

- Please evacuate!
- Evacuate the area!

We fear there might be a second explosion.
Yes, sir.

Based on Article 26, Paragraph 1
of the Government Organization Act,

you have been entrusted

with all the authority and duties of
the President of the Republic of Korea.

Pardon?

From this moment forward,
you are now the Acting President.

Your term has already begun,
President Park.

It's a claymore.

What? It looks like a standard claymore
on the outside,

but it's not a simple claymore.

It's a type of explosive often spotted
in terrorist attacks in Algeria and Syria.

Everyone’s waiting for you.

We have no time to talk about
what measures we should take right now!

We’re at war right now!
Do you not know what that means?

(CURRENT STATUS OF YEOUIDO)

(SITE OF INCIDENT)

We shouldn’t react emotionally.

We need to figure out what happened first.

It’s too soon to call it a war
and make rash judgments.

And who will make that decision?

Our Commander-in-Chief isn't here.

I will now deactivate the explosive.

This is the NSC,
the National Security Council.

The final decisions on matters
of national security,

unification, and diplomacy are made here.

You, sir, the Acting President,

are the current Chief of the NSC.

If a war breaks out on the Korean
Peninsula now, it'll be World War III!

Even if it means World World IV,
we must do what we must do!

- That's irresponsible!
- Should we sit back and watch?

- You can't be so emotional...
- The Acting President is here!

We must think about our people!

Being bullheaded isn't a solution.

Whom are you calling bullheaded?

Sir.

This is Acting President Park Mu-jin.

(DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS)

(DAY 60: COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF)
(EPISODE 2)

The bomb has been deactivated.

We believe the bombers used
an explosive demolition technique

to blow up the National Assembly Building.

- "Explosive demolition"?
- That's correct.

You place the explosives
on the pillars or the walls in advance.

Using the weight of the building itself,

the explosives are detonated.

In 5 to 15 seconds, these explosives
can destroy large buildings.

Most importantly, a relatively
small amount of explosives is sufficient.

- It could've been difficult to spot...
- Next.

Therefore, the amount of explosives
used was...

Enough with that. Next.

Sir?

Tell me the most crucial
piece of information.

Don't you know what I want to know?

So? Was it North Korea or not?

We're not sure about that yet, sir.

If it was, the military will take over.

If it wasn't, it'll go to the police.

Shouldn't this be your number one focus?

Wow, our Deputy Commissioner General
is very straightforward.

You're no-nonsense.

The President, Prime Minister,
ministers, and assemblymen.

Over 100 high-ranking government officials

lost their lives at the same time
in an attack.

Is this the right time to discuss
jurisdictions?

You're right. Over 100 high-ranking
government officials were massacred.

And in the center of Seoul,
the nation's capital.

The people will probably question
who did this.

And they'll wonder
who will take responsibility for this.

Do you know why? Because they're anxious.

The Commissioner General needs something
to say to the people to save face.

You. Did you say
that you're from the Terrorism Task Force?

What's your take on this?

Who did it?

Who planted these explosives
in the National Assembly Building?

They're explosives used
in prior terrorist attacks.

They're the same explosives North Korea
has been exporting to its allies.

It's them.

Are they seriously trying to start a war?

They want to start a war!

This isn't a terrorist attack!
This is a declaration of war!

This is a preemptive attack!

"A declaration of war"?

Look. No movements have been spotted
in their camps.

All their missile launchers are in place.

Does it seem like
they're preparing for a war?

North Korea has made an announcement.

Here.

A disaster has occurred in South Korea

with the destruction
of its National Assembly Building.

The US and the hostile forces

are planning something wicked by

pointing their fingers at North Korea.

Such a scheme...

They're strongly asserting
that they have nothing to do with this.

This is the first time
they responded immediately

to the public sentiment in South Korea.

They were about to establish
diplomatic relations with us.

They're determined to be acknowledged
as a "normal" country.

Didn't you hear them?

They were preparing for the peace treaty.

Think about this logically.

"Logically"? My logic tells me

that a mad dog should be beaten

and that provocation should be punished.

"'Normal' country," you say?

North Korea is finally showing
their true colors.

Since the US isn't listening to them,

they used us as a sacrificial lamb!

They're saying, "Look!
We can do anything!"

We need to make a decision!

We should attack
Kumsusan Palace of the Sun

or cross the demarcation line!

Better yet, we must destroy
their nuclear facilities.

That way, they won't be able
to start a war with us

since we're stronger than they are!

Is it even possible
to make such a decision?

Whether it be attacking the Kumsusan
Palace or crossing the demarcation line,

we do not have wartime control.

Our country is protected

by its alliance with the US.

It's a pride of our military.

If we don't show our determination
and will to fight immediately

and the power of our military,
which is stronger than North Korea's,

we may be subjected to
an even bigger attack.

During the September 11 attacks,

the terrorists' second target
was the Pentagon.

Did you all forget that?

Request the ROK-US Combined Forces
Command to declare DEFCON Three.

Furthermore, our military should prepare
for combat.

Are you insisting on waging a war
on the Korean Peninsula?

It's very reckless to conclude

North Korea was responsible
based on one bomb that was found!

Then who was it?

We are a divided country.

Our main adversary is situated
right above us.

If it wasn't them, then who was it?

Will you only believe it

if it reads "Made in North Korea"
on the explosives?

North Korea? Does that even make sense?

Hold on. How could you
defend them in this situation?

Something must be wrong with the NSC!

What did you say? Are you done?

- Then how am I to understand...
- Come on.

- ...your reaction?
- How could you say that?

Did I say something wrong?

Then should we just sit still and take it?

- Think about our people!
- I explained the situation.

Why are you being so pigheaded?

- What are you afraid of?
- Our security

and the lives of our people are at risk!
I'm just asking you to be more careful!

You can chew with your gums
if you have no teeth, and

the Acting President can fill in
if there's no President,

but if you have no toilet paper,

you're in trouble.

You went through so much today.

You should be happy.

Starting from tomorrow,
we'll have an Acting President.

It wasn't just
the National Assembly Building.

The Blue House was hit with a bomb too.

That Acting President's nickname
was Cinderella. It's obvious.

He probably brown-nosed politicians
and became a minister through nepotism.

Just because he was lucky enough
to survive this attack,

he's become the head honcho of Korea.

He has only six months
of experience in politics,

and all he did was
measure fine dust levels.

What could he possibly do
against North Korea?

Actually, I'm scared
he might do something. Don't you agree?

Everyone says that you're so lucky.

The point I'm trying to make

is that you're very lucky
when it comes to your career.

I'm sorry, sir.

To be frank, I was a bit concerned
after reading your resume.

I apologize.

No.

You simply made a quick judgment
with the given data.

It's an understandable survival instinct.

After all, this is an emergency situation.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Excuse me.

Is the Chief Presidential Secretary
still in there?

What happens if I step down
as Acting President?

I'm unqualified.

Look.

If you're talking about competence,

there was only one person
who was qualified.

And today,

we lost him.

But...

I'm sure you know as well.

Is this because of what happened today?

Your termination had no legal effect.

(MINISTER
PARK MU-JIN)

There was no time to process it.

But if you resign,

your current position will be vacant.

The only individuals who can succeed

are ministers and cabinet members.

Who could've ever imagined
that such a disaster would occur?

Then

what happens after I resign?

Authority

does not permit vacancy.

The clearest and obvious power

will take control.

(PAST PRESIDENTS)

Are you talking about a military coup?

We've experienced such coups

several times in the past.

Sir.

We have a problem.

That's Sawagiri Vessel.

It's Japan's Self-Defense Forces'
Aegis Destroyer.

Japan seems to have concluded
that a war is imminent.

But still.

How dare they trespass
into our waters without informing us?

It's a good opportunity for them.

Prime Minister Aso's approval rating
hit rock-bottom after the scandal.

It's good for them if we have problems.

Even better if their Self-Defense Forces
can intervene.

Leadership during a national crisis.

We've done that before as well.

This is because they have no respect
for our military.

It's obvious.

Japan has provoked us, and yet,
we're just watching.

Does that make sense?

We cannot prevent a war

unless we're prepared to fight one.

But our Acting President doesn't
even realize something that simple.

Our nation pretty much doesn't have
a Commander-in-Chief right now.

There will be
no Commander-in-Chief either,

if you resign right now.

Mr. Secretary.

You should talk
with the Japanese ambassador.

If we don't solve this vessel issue
by daybreak,

things will get more complicated.

Their Self-Defense Forces
pretty much announced

that a war is imminent.

When morning comes, the stock markets
will be shaken up.

The foreigners in this country will look
for tickets to go back home.

If that happens, we won't be able
to calm the people down.

We're running out of time, sir.

Do you still think

you're unqualified?

I'm not asking you to exercise
presidential powers.

I'm asking you to perform
your duty as a citizen.

You were chosen as the Acting President

based on...

this country's Constitution.

Aren't you tired?

It won't take long.

Right.

This way.

(JAPANESE AMBASSADOR TO KOREA
KENTO KIMURA)

Prime Minister Aso sends
his deepest condolences.

Unfortunately, you are not here

to relay your condolences.

You have been summoned
because Sawagiri Vessel

has trespassed into Korea's waters.

"We did not trespass into Korean waters.

This is an act of self-defense."

"An act of self-defense"?

(COMMANDER OF CFC
BROWN BELL)

My fellow Koreans,

Dokdo is our land.

Dokdo is a historical land
that was the first to get absorbed

by Japan during the pillage.

It was conquered by Japan

during the Russo-Japanese War...

"Statement to the Nation."

"Emergency Statement."

"Statement."

(UPRIGHT SOCIETY OPENING STATEMENT)

(FIRST ORAL STATEMENT AT BLUE HOUSE)

For this upcoming Statement to the Nation,
I think it's of the utmost importance

for me to soothe their financial anxiety.

However, if I don't do it right,

I could aggravate their anxiety instead.

So I think...

Hey, Kim Nam-wook!

- Yes, sir.
- How could you snore in front of

the President?

Is this your way of protesting?

Are you saying you're fed up
with this old fogy?

No, sir.

I had so much work yesterday,

so I couldn't listen to your wise...

- Whine? What did you say?
- Your wise...

- I mean, wise...
- You need to enunciate.

Your wise words.

- Again.
- Wise words, sir.

- Are you sure about that?
- Yes, sir.

Gosh.

That's fine.

Oh, right. Let me restart the camera.

- Sure.
- We don't want that recorded.

Goodness.

- It's difficult, isn't it?
- No, sir.

I'm sorry.

Well... I was...

- Here.
- It's okay.

Well...

I heard that you were preparing
the Statement to the Nation.

As the speechwriter in charge,
I will be writing the speech myself.

You don't need to worry, sir.

Okay.

Hello.

Secretary Han asked me
to make sure you are comfortable.

Would you like to get some sleep?
Should I prepare a bed for you?

No, thanks. I'm good.

All right, then.

Thanks.

The Blue House staff and I

will take care of everything.

All you have to do sir,

is just sit there.

That way, this nation can maintain
at least a bit of constitutional order.

It’s me. How is Si-jin?

What did the doctor say?

There seems to have been
some internal bleeding in her brain,

but they were able to stop it.

Now,

we are waiting for Si-jin
to regain consciousness.

I have Si-jin’s hair tie.

She’ll look for it when she wakes up.

Tell her I’ll give it to her
when she comes to me,

so she should wake up soon and hurry over.

Si-jin will be fine.

I’ll worry about her.

You have so many other things
to worry about now.

We won’t be able to go home for a while.

I’m sorry I put you through this.

Do you really think I mind?

You...

You could have been there
when it happened.

At least...

we're still together.

Is it true

that a North Korean submarine vanished?

A North-Korean Romeo-class

submarine left from Shinpo Base
and didn't return.

It’s a submarine built to
transport nuclear warheads.

They advertised how it demonstrates
their top-class technology.

Do you understand now

why Japan dispatched the Aegis
to the East Sea?

...why Japan dispatched
the Aegis to the East Sea?

You should have discussed it
with our government first

if Japan is our ally.

Are you concerned about Korea Passing?

Are you concerned about Korea Passing?

South Korea has failed
to protect its own President.

Why would Japan discuss

national security with such a nation?

South Korea has failed
to protect its own President.

Why would Japan discuss
national security with such a nation?

Are you kidding...

Let him speak.

Do you mean

you will join us as we prepare for war?

Where’s the President Park now?

Must we really consent to DEFCON Two?

If it’s true that North Korea’s sub
has moved south, yes.

This is crazy.

This is exactly
what the American hard-liners wanted.

Just think about it.

To President Reynold, a provocation
from the North is a disaster.

His re-election is coming up soon.

I bet he’ll choose
the most aggressive military action

to show that they won’t be
strong-armed by North Korea.

It’ll be more than
what the hard-liners wanted.

A DEFCON was declared
only twice in Korean history.

The Panmunjeom axe murder incident in 1976

and the Rangoon bombing in 1983.

It was for the U.S. Army
to control the situation

in case Korean soldiers would retaliate.

At levels over DEFCON Three,

the operation authority goes
to the Combined Forces Command.

And it’s the same now.

The U.S. just wants
to have control over Korea.

It's too dangerous when there is tension
between the North and South like now.

Is the hotline still silent?

We can't seem to reach them.

There’s no response to the fax
we sent about the hotline either.

It’s the same situation
with the military communications line.

They’re not sending or receiving
any transmissions, both land and maritime.

This is obviously a refusal to talk.

They’re like teenagers, locking
their door whenever something happens.

If it’s true that
the submarine moved south,

then it could already be in front
of Jinhae Naval Base by now.

We can’t make hasty conclusions.

From the North’s point of view,
stationing the Japanese Aegis

is a provocation by the South
Korea-US-Japan alliance. For the North,

refusing to communicate
is the strongest option of protesting.

June 1996, vice-ministerial level talks
between the two Koreas

and...

the first battle at Baengnyeong.

June 2010, the Inter-Korean Summit

and the Asan Warship explosion.

March 2012,

an Inter-Korea Summit Agreement,

and the second battle
at Baengnyeong broke out.

And today,

March 4th, 2019,

the National Assembly Building,

the assassination of the President

and government officials.

Don’t you get it?

North Korea has always mocked
the government’s Sunshine Policy.

And always with the same method.

Do you still want to believe

- that they’re capable of communication?
- We don’t just believe it.

We know it.

We know that they need rice

as much as we need peace.

Peace isn’t something
you beg for with money.

It’s something you protect
with your blood.

Your amateurish concept of security
and your fantasy of reunification

cost you your boss.

And our military

lost our Commander-in-Chief.

We don’t have time, President Park.

Give your consent to announce DEFCON Two.

DEFCON Two...

Are you saying you’re certain
that North Korea is preparing for war?

Do you think any enemy
will ever let you know for certain?

If we fear the North,

it’s not because of their nukes
or their missiles.

It mean we can never know them.

Just like the submarine.

You got information
on the submarine, right?

So what are the facts? Did it move south?

Is it provocation? Just a drill?
Or is it...

That won't make any difference.

Pardon?

Do you know
why the government is like this today?

Well...

It’s because the arrogant President
made our military

and your intelligence service powerless
for the sake of peace.

I will never go back to those days.

Don't you agree?

I'm against this.

The moment President Park
consents to DEFCON Two,

the leadership of this nation will go over
to the military and intelligence

since it means
we’re in a quasi-state of war.

Then regaining that power
will be impossible, sir.

You really are young.

You have the strength
to think about the future.

You should’ve gone to the hospital
or taken a sick leave.

It’s not too late.

Do you really think
I could go to the hospital?

That would be shameless of me.

This is so unfair. I can't stand it.

Every step of the way for the past
two years to reach the peace treaty

has been difficult.

We had to worry about upsetting the US

and pacify the brazen North.

We never got to eat peacefully
with our families

or take a vacation.

We worked so hard to get this far.

How could it all go up in smoke like this?

We still...

have time.

We’ll have to check the situation up north
as soon as possible.

Whether we use the intelligence from China

or from third countries...

Mr. Ko.

Can you connect me directly

without going through NIS?

All right, sir.

Contact the Chunchugwan
and issue a press embargo.

Once the citizens start panicking,

we may not have any other choice.

Let's just...

think about one thing for now.

Peace on the Korean Peninsula...

was the President’s last unfinished work.

The submarine, sir.

Do you really think
North Korea is preparing for an attack?

It wasn't caught on radar
or in satellite photos,

so it means it’s been underwater
this whole time.

It’s probably targeting
Jinhae Naval Base, right?

- Then, by now...
- By now,

it should rise
at least to raise their periscope.

If it left Shinpo Base on February 24th

and maintained an average speed
of 15 knots...

It's been nine days, so...

How did they get
oxygen inside the submarine?

They would have vaporized
liquid oxygen, right?

Yes.

If it’s a diesel engine,
then they’d use lithium batteries.

What do you think?

Well...

Sir.

Yes?

I... studied liberal arts.

Oh, I see.

Is it that hard to understand?

It’s North Korea we're talking about.

Even if they're starving,

they'll commandeer all the fishing boats

to build submarines.

Why are you talking about college majors?

What did you just say?

I was talking to Mr. Park.

No, the fishing boats.

You said they commandeered
all the fishing boats.

Well, it's obvious.
Why else would there be no fishing boats

when it’s halfbeak season?

Are you sure? Do you have proof?

Is that data reliable?

It’s where I was born and raised.

There, even if you’ve just scattered
your father's ashes in the sea,

you have to go fishing the next day
because that's your livelihood.

Mr. Kim is a North Korean defector
whom President Yang selected

through special employment
to be a speechwriter.

Ms. Jeong.

I need a favor.

Out of the way.

How do you feel?

Are you okay?
I will do my best to help you.

Doctor, how is he?

He's losing a lot of blood.

We'll do our best to help you.

I'm so sorry.

Ms. Yun. About the press interview,

would you like to do
the photo shoot first or the interview?

The reporters are waiting.

I’m going to turn on my phone
as soon as I leave the hospital.

If I see a single picture of me here

on TV, online, or in any paper,

you're fired.

Oh, no. It must hurt a lot...

Stop making them stand here.

Feed them and send them back.

- Can I help?
- The tent bar doesn't take credit cards.

Are you okay?

Oh, my.

Yes.

You will be okay soon.

She was trying her best.

She wanted to get you more coverage

and brought all the reporters who were
by the National Assembly Building.

There was a bombing
during the President's speech

at the National Assembly
that I was boycotting.

That alone stops me from being free
of any moral responsibility.

The injured are in the lobby

because the ER is full.
How could she bring cameras here?

Do you think people
would view me favorably?

I'm sure she just wanted to show people

that you’re the first politician
to rush to the scene.

TV stations aren't the only ones
with cameras anymore.

Come over here.

Please come help.

Out of the way!

Where does it hurt the most?

(#YUN CHAN-GYEONG)

Hang in there.

(#SHINING LEADERSHIP)
(SHE WAS THE FIRST CONGRESSWOMAN TO COME)

Where does it hurt the most?

It looks like you hurt your head badly.

Could you come over here?

Just one second.

Are you okay?

Could you call a doctor?

- Please hurry...
- Hello?

What?

To the Blue House.

Yes, ma'am.

I’m sorry to keep you waiting.

It’s okay. We're in a time of emergency.

Please have a seat.

So the Japanese ambassador was summoned?

I heard that the Commander of
the Combined Forces Command was here too.

What’s going on, Secretary Han?

Who told you?

Was it the reporters?
Or a Blue House staff member?

Does that matter?

I won't use this to politically attack
the President.

President Yang’s administration
was terminated today anyway.

That Sunshine Policy you people
worshiped so dearly

- also came to an end.
- Ms. Yun.

Korea has no President, Prime Minister,

or a Speaker of the National Assembly
right now.

I’m not just an opposition party leader.

I’m a representative

of the National Assembly.
No, the citizens.

I can’t be excluded

in such a situation
involving national security.

I’m saying I’ll share the responsibility.

I’m suggesting a coalition with our party.

It sounds like you’re telling us
to thrown in the towel.

Thank you for understanding so quickly.

Although our President is gone,

we have our Acting President,

and until the next election,

this is still
the Yang Jin-man administration.

We’re responsible
for this nation’s security.

And we’re going to carry out
our responsibilities to the fullest.

It’s March.

The nights are still long.

If it turns out to be true

that the North Korean submarine
has moved south,

I'm sure the people

will not wait out
the 60-day term of the Acting President.

Would they entrust
their lives and property

with the Acting President,
who has no experience in politics

or with national security
other than his military service?

In a quasi-state of war like now?

It’ll be

an especially long night for you.

(YEOMINGWAN 1)

Here's the data on the marine ecosystem
on the eastern coast.

(MARINE ECOSYSTEM AND LITHIUM POISONING)

We found fish
with lithium poisoning in the East Sea.

The report came into our ministry
on March 2nd.

That's after the submarine disappeared.

Lithium...

Lithium...

Lithium...

Lithium...

Lithium Batteries.

It’s the North Korean submarine’s
power source.

The vanished fishing boats,

fish with lithium poisoning,
the lithium-battery-powered sub.

Do you get what this all means?

Ms. Jeong?

Please excuse me.

What about the intelligence in China?

They had a mass replacement recently.

So it'll be a bit difficult.

How much time do we have?

Commander Brown wants
us to declare DEFCON Two

before sunrise.

Do you plan

to consent to DEFCON Two?

What happens

if the submarine sank
and didn't infiltrate our waters?

What if the submarine is drifting
in our waters due to defects?

Is that true?

What’s the source of that information?

It's still

just a theory.
I’ll need to check a few things.

So,

you’re saying you’ll risk
the people’s lives and safety

on something uncertain
that hasn’t even been confirmed?

It left Shinpo Base on February 24th.

If it maintained an average speed of 15
knots per hour, since it’s been nine days,

it would be somewhere in our waters.
Probably around here.

The last satellite photo of it above water

was on March 2nd.

So the oxygen inside the submarine
after 69 hours is...

Stop.

If you’re going to talk

about stuff like data
and the ethics of scientists, stop.

This isn’t the school or lab

where you were before.

Their families are waiting.

The submarine crew’s families

must be waiting for them.

None of them would’ve imagined

that the day they left home
would be the last.

The golden time to save the crew
is almost up.

They have 69 hours to breathe
with the oxygen inside the submarine,

and it’s almost over.

Let me ask you one thing.

What if

it didn't sink

and did infiltrate our waters?

Then...

they’re just our enemies
that could threaten

the safety of five million people.

Am I wrong?

Give consent

to declare DEFCON Two.

- But, Mr. Han...
- You promised

to let me and the Blue House staff

take care of everything that happens here.

I

will not gamble

with this nation's security.

Are you planning to do
what Secretary Han said?

I have no choice.

Didn't you think the submarine sank?

For now,

it's just a hypothesis
that hasn't been proved yet.

It is not data.

No, I'll do it.

You should get used to it.

It's protocol.

It's a bit too much.

Of course.

Thank you.

I was told

a protocol administrator is like
a traffic light.

"The Republic of Korea

is still doing well.

So,

no one can mistreat us."

I must have wanted

to send out that signal through you,
Mr. President.

I apologize

if I made you uncomfortable.

That's a good expression,

that a protocol administrator
is like a traffic light.

The Chief Secretary
of Presidential Protocol

always said that.

Did I meet him today?

He was accompanying the President

at the National Assembly today.

He went instead of me...

because I wanted to go to Panmunjom.

Today,

we are standing here

because we survived by chance.

Because it's old.

Secretary Choi.

- No...
- No, please.

How could you leave us like this?

(COME BACK ALIVE)

(PLEASE FIND MY BROTHER DAE-HYUN)

(HURRY HOME!)

Please send him back to us.

No. Please don't go.

I LOVE YOU.)

[Netflix Ver] tvN E02 'Designated Survivor: 60 Days'
"Day 60: Commander-In-Chief"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Is anyone there?

Do you hear me? Please answer me!

Are there any survivors?

Anyone?

Do you hear me?

What do you think the possibility is?

For there to be survivors
in this situation. Do you have statistics

or examples from other countries?

What I want to believe in
isn't probabilities,

but a miracle.

I heard the NIS Director
was on the list of the deceased.

Life is so unpredictable.

If it were a normal administrative speech
by the President,

the NIS Director would have
no reason to be there.

He decided only yesterday morning
to attend

because it was regarding
the Inter-Korean Peace Agreement.

I need to ask for a favor.

That isn't a favor.

It's an illegal act.

So, you're asking me

to pull up the list of people
Agent Kim met and called

before going
to the National Assembly Building

and the work he was doing.

Do you know what they call it two words?

Illegal surveillance.

What century do you live in?

I don't do anything that's out of trend.

Kim Jun-o is an agent
with Espionage Team Two.

He has no reason to attend
the State of the Nation Address.

But he was there right at that time,

and took the subway
instead of driving as usual,

and he was alone.

I just want to know the reason.

I want to know the reason too.

Why you are reporting to people directly
without my knowing?

Na-gyeong, when matters
are as pressing as this,

it's better to unify the channels.

If you report to my superiors
without going through me...

I was just going to tell you.

Is that so? Then go ahead and tell me.

North Korea is acting weird.

What's new about that?

Are you telling me
the sun rises in the east?

They are always acting weird.

Look at this. Is this normal?

They're too quiet.

They are way too quiet

to assume North Korea did this
to provoke us.

None of the diplomats in other countries
had their families

take shelter or return
to their home country.

Security hasn't been heightened
at the border of China,

nor were any unusual activities detected.

You're the one that said

the bomb found at the site
was made in North Korea.

It was a dud.

What if someone orchestrated it
to make us...

suspect North Korea?

Who would do that?

Do you approve of DEFCON 2?

What happens after that?

(NORTH KOREA'S MAIN NUCLEAR FACILITIES)

It's called the Bloody Nose Strategy.

It is a restricted and precise
preemptive strike

to display superior military strength

and intimidate them

(NORTH KOREA BOMBING SIMULATION)

As Commander-in-Chief
of the ROK military...

(SINUIJU, PYONGYANG,
PREDICTED LOCATION)

- Sir?
- It's strange.

The submarine moved south,

but instead of defending our seas,

we're hitting North Korea's
nuclear facilities first?

We're incapacitating
their nuclear facilities,

so North Korea cannot provoke us again.

It's just one of the options.

It won't affect the South.

If they are capable
of thinking reasonably,

they won't start a full-scale war

against the US.

So, you're saying

this will only be successful
under the assumption

that North Korea
is reasonable and rational.

Does North Korea seem like such a country

to you, General Lee?

Approve to increase to DEFCON 2.

The North Korean submarine

may not have infiltrated our waters.

- Wait...
- We learned that the

marine ecosystem along the submarine
routes have been polluted by lithium.

It is highly likely they drifted south
due to faulty batteries.

Can you prove that?

How could anyone prove that?

How would you prove it

when it isn't caught on satellites
or sonars?

Unless North Korea admits it,

we won't be able to prove it.

Then we have no choice.

North Korea will have to confirm it.

You're defying Washington.

You have put the Korean-US alliance
at risk because of a guess.

It's my duty to report...

We will follow
President Reynold's decision.

Tell him this.

Don't leave a single word out.

The Acting President

is carrying out his job well
as Commander-in-Chief of the ROK.

We have operational authority
in times of peace.

The moment you go through that door,

you'll be the only one doubting

the Korea-US alliance.

Sir.

North Korea has shut down
all communication channels.

You know they haven't responded

to not only the communication lines,
but also the hotline.

Why did they shut off the hotline

if the submarine really sank?

They may be poor,
but they have self-respect.

North Korea has been able
to last this long

because of their pride
in independent national defense

like nuclear or war arms technology.

They probably don't want
the whole world to know

the submarine the VIP is most proud of
sank due to a defect,

especially not to South Korea and the US.

Then there is nothing we can do.

North Korea won't suddenly
swallow their pride and admit it.

(THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA
REPUBLIC OF KOREA, BLUE HOUSE)

Sir.

Didn't you say there was
a defect in the submarine?

Then why did you tell North Korea
it is drifting after hitting a rock?

Someone told me...

that they may be poor,

but that doesn't mean
they don't have self-respect.

Now,

do we just have to wait

for North Korea to reply
through the hotline?

"After communicating through fax or phone,

we are to reply through a direct call
between the leaders within 10 minutes."

That's the rule of operation
of the hotline set by both Koreas.

If we don't get a reply within 10 minutes,

we can assume North Korea has no intention

of communicating with South Korea.

This won't work.
I think we need a different plan.

Where is Secretary Han?

Maritime rescue?

Yes, North Korea is asking China
and Russia for a rescue team,

but it doesn't seem to be going well.

I see.

Then it's true

that the submarine sank.

Thank you.

I have something to tell you.

- Yes?
- The submarine...

Secretary Han!

Secretary Han!

- He fainted.
- Guards!

Guards!

Secretary Han.

Wake up.

- Wake up, Secretary Han!
- Emergency!

Get him on my back.

Secretary Han.

Gosh.

Move out of the way.

Secretary Han.

I...

approve of it.

I initiate...

DEFCON 2...

on the Korean Peninsula.

DEFCON 2 has been declared
to the entire military.

DEFCON 2 has been declared
to the entire military!

DEFCON has been declared.

All troops get ready for combat.

Go!

What did you say?

Mr. President.

North Korea has issued
Level 2 Combat Readiness.

I know.

Get them ready now.

Okay.

Call Washington

and upgrade to DEFCON 1.

Bloody nose.

It's time for that strategy.

This is the Blue House.

Mr. President has to answer.

This is Park Mu-jin,

the Acting President.

Did you say you have the coordinates
to the current location of our submarine?

(CALL OFF LEVEL 2 COMBAT READINESS)

Will you call off

the Level 2 Combat Readiness?

Then I'll send you
the submarine's coordinates.

The South breached
the ceasefire agreement first.

You called in Japan's
Maritime Self-defense Force

and went into combat readiness
with the US.

It was the South, not us.

Why would we lift combat readiness first?

Is it because of the US?

Because they have wartime authority,
not the South?

(NO NEGOTIATIONS WITHOUT AN ANSWER)

It's because...

we aren't the US.

The US doesn't want peace
on the Korean Peninsula

as much as we do.

The crew of the submarine are still alive,

but the window of opportunity
may close if you wait any longer.

Isn't it the nation's duty
to save its people's lives?

Today,

we failed to do so.

However, you still have a chance.

Look!

North Korean combat planes are moving!

What did I tell you?

They used this conversation
to take advantage of us!

We gave North Korea time to attack us!

No, we didn't.

The combat planes are turning around.

The fighter jets heading toward the MDL

turned around and are going back!

Okay, good. The North

has lifted its combat readiness.

President Park... Please.

Right, of course.

These are the coordinates
to where the submarine drifted.

Sir.

Please lower our state to DEFCON 4.

We are now at DEFCON 4.

It's time to keep your promise.

Will you remove Sawagiri Fleet
from Korean waters?

It's just a cramp.

(PEACE AND PROSPERITY)

Is it being sent to NDFC?

A photo or video of the explosion
would help,

but I doubt there’s any.
Still, you never know.

They could find a lead
in one of these devices.

I don't know how much
Forensics can recover, but still.

Do we have consent
from all the victims' families?

There are some from missing persons
who haven't been confirmed dead or alive.

I'll wrap up things here
and send the evidence to NDFC.

You should grab some breakfast.

Are you sure?

Let's go then. We'll see you later.

(CALLING JUN-O)

(NA-GYEONG)

(NA-GYEONG)

Wait, 880717.

Happy birthday, dear Na-gyeong

Happy birthday to you

Then, 121225.

Okay, 190330.

Ta-da.

(WEDDING OF KIM JUN-O AND HAN NA-GYEONG)

Hey, 122937 Han Na-gyeong!

Right, 122937.

(NA-GYEONG)

(GOING TO THE SCENE. CALL ME.)

Right.

You finally ended up in a hospital.

Right.

I don't know whether to be relieved
or worried,

but you were treated in time,

which prevented a cerebral infarction.

You should take this opportunity
to rest for a few days.

The doctor said
to avoid exhaustion and stress.

It won't be possible at the Blue House.

No, it won't be possible until I die.

Why? What now?

Secretary Han.

Call President Park.

I need to see him.

Thankfully, your theory
of the submarine sinking

was right.

Thank you.

I never expected you

to take my side
in front of Commander Bell.

Well, a greenhorn in politics
who has mostly worked

in academia his whole life

was about to compromise the alliance
between South Korea and the US.

I couldn't just sit back
and watch that happen.

The person in the most danger today
within the bunker

wasn’t Commander Bell
or Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Lee.

Acting President

Park Mu-jin.

It was you.

What if

North Korea kept refusing
to answer the hotline?

What were you going to do?

Did you even think

of what could have happened?

That position doesn’t require someone
who will be a hero

and save the world by some fluke.

Do not assume

that luck is always on your side.

Today's the last day

that luck will be on your side.

(TO ACTING PRESIDENT PARK MU-JIN)

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea

has successfully rescued the entire crew

of the submarine.

The entire crew of 28 members has been

safely returned to their families.

As a fellow compatriot,
I send my deepest condolences

for your devastating tragedy.

(THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA)

Hello?

Si-jin's awake!

Her test results came back clean too.

You don't have to worry now.

Daddy.

Hey, Si-jin, is that you?

Daddy, do you have my hair tie?

Daddy?

Why aren't you answering me?

Yes.

Daddy?

Daddy, I miss you.

Okay, my baby...

Sir?

This...

Oh, right.

It's a better look.

Of course.

My fellow Koreans, hello.

I am Acting President

Park Mu-jin.

(DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS)

It's not that he never wanted power.

President Park just never had a chance.

Will you be the same
even after you witness

the world shifting by your word?

Power, you say?

That has nothing to do with me.

The bombers

detonated the bombs
using the building's Internet cable lines.

There has been an act of violence
in Bogil District.

I plan on fulfilling
my civic responsibility

and return to academia after 60 days.
