I was the one

who tried to assassinate the president.

Wha… wha… Prime Minister Park!

If I could, I would've stopped
his heart with my own two hands.

I think, perhaps your time is

coming to an end,
so enjoy it while you still can.

What are you going to do now?

Well, like I said,

if you can't get rid of your enemy,

then simply rule over them.

The only person
who can rule over me

is myself.

Daejin Group's
Chairman Kang Yeong-ik

was released
from Anyang Prison this morning.

Chairman Kang
was sentenced to 12 years in prison

under the Punishment
of Specific Economic Crimes Act.

He was released
after President Park Dong-ho

granted him a special pardon.

He only served just two
of the 12-year sentence.

Chairman Kang was admitted
to Daejin Medical Center

right after his release,
due to his ongoing chronic illness,

which has progressively worsened
over the course of his incarceration.

Whoever found a way to get
rid of the doenjang smell, I hate them.

Cheonggukjang is supposed to smell!

I need the reins
you put on President Park.

Park Dong-ho's a dangerous animal
that even President Jang couldn't tame.

-His reins should stay with me.
-We're running out of time.

May I remind you my brother
is on trial for something--

If you try
to prove he didn't do it,

you'll end up exposing
everything that he actually did.

He embezzled company funds,

formed a private equity fund
for high-ranking officials,

made an absurd amount of money
by stealing national business information,

then used that to lure Jang Hyeon-Su in,

before framing Seo Gi-tae
just for investigating President Jang.

Oh boy.

Sang-un's been keeping busy, it seems.

I'll give you the reins…
if you're willing to protect your son

over your beloved company, Chairman.

I think that's your job.
There's no need for me to get involved.

I will compose a list of names

for cabinet and ministerial positions.
How does that sound?

Now you shouldn't get involved.
That's my job.

They are good people.
Put them to use.

PRIME MINISTER, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER

We can't fill the cabinet
with only your people. It's too--

You've got the reins,
and you can keep them.

In that case, I can hold the whip.

PRIME MINISTER JEONG SU-JIN

THE WHIRLWIND

EPISODE 6

There are 25,000 positions
under your authority.

You can appoint 3,000 of those.
We'll fill those spots.

We'll leave some for you
to appoint yourself, however.

Like chief of staff
and your personal assistant

and so forth.

Lee Ji-hun
was involved in a sex scandal.

And as for Baek Jong-su,
his morals are questionable.

Questionable morals?

You are one to talk
about morals after assisting

the president's assassin.

Just turn a blind eye to their flaws…

and we will turn a blind eye
to yours as well.

Jeong Su-jin--

Power is far more important than morals
in politics, I'm sure you know.

So by the end of this week,
I'll send you a list of the people we're--

Send it to me
by the end of the day.

I'm sure all the people on the list
were on Daejin Group's payroll.

Lawyers, politicians, academics, whatever.

A list of names quite familiar to you.
You don't need a week to do it.

It must be humiliating for you,

having to appoint everyone
that you despise onto your team.

That's why I'm asking you
to make it quick.

It's less humiliating
if we get it over with.

29 DAYS EARLIER
THE FIRST DAY OF THE CAMPAIGN

ON THE SAME NIGHT

Jeong Su-jin has been listening to us.

All our conversations,
our campaign strategies…

-We have to destroy the watch.
-No.

If we decide to destroy the watch,

Jeong Su-jin will know
and stop helping our campaign.

If we want to win,
then we have to keep her by our side.

But this time you told me
you'd trust the people this election.

Your brother

trusted the people.

And so did I, actually.

Someway, somehow, I need to find a way
to convince the people that Park Dong-ho

is the heir to President Jang.

Tell Jeong Su-jin to join us tomorrow
on our visit to President Jang's hometown.

Park Dong-ho!
Park Dong-ho!

She'll stand beside me
on the campaign trail and at every rally.

We have to win

this presidential election.

Here's Jeong Su-jin's list
of recommendations

for the heads of public institutions.

She recommended around 200 of her people

to run the FSS, NTS, BAI, and KHNP.

Daejin Group's rats have finally decided
to emerge from the sewers.

I'll make them regret
that choice soon enough.

And this is all

thanks to Jang Il-jun's little watch.

I feel grateful for him.

Surprisingly.

Hey, Su-jin.

Look, I told Cheol-min
about your, uh, tonsil issue,

and he was nice enough to send you
some bellflower root extract.

He's crazy. I heard
he's working with horseback riders.

What?

You recommended your friend
to the Racing Authority board,

when he lost everything
because of his addiction to horse racing.

What are people going to think?

Hey, don't say that.

If it weren't for him,
I would be in prison right now.

So that's your reasoning, then?

Su-jin, listen.

He went to jail because of me so I owe…

-He deserves to get something--
-What about us?

What did we get for suffering in our 20s?

Su-jin.

Uh, ma'am. Ma'am.

This is a list
of the first cabinet nominees

for President Park's administration.

For his prime minster,

Park Chang-sik
from the Korean Liberal Party.

JEONG SU-JIN

For Deputy Prime Minister
of Economic Affairs,

Lee Jun-il, Director of the KDI.

Minister of Education, Ahn Il-sang,
President of Wonil University.

Minister of Unification,

Min Hyo-seong, the former Vice Minister.

Minister of Justice,

Assemblyman Kang Jun-seong.

Minister of National Defense,
Song Tae-min,

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

For Minister of the Interior and Safety,
Choi Young-man,

former Police Commissioner General.

So out of the 200 nominees appointed
none of them were ours.

It seems they didn't take
a single one of our recommendations.

He's waiting for you upstairs.

BLUE HOUSE - SANGCHUNJAE

About ten years ago, I won an election.

All thanks to you.

We celebrated by eating
some delicious anchovy.

Sit and eat.

Eat up.

That will be your last meal
here at the Blue House.

I'm sending this pen

over to YTV news station later.

The National Assembly
will discuss everything

regarding your impeachment today.

It shouldn't take long.

And once you're arrested,

I'll make sure to say goodbye.

I sent President Jang away.

I used the red handkerchief he gave me
to send him out of this world.

I felt him take his last breath.

Listen to me, Man-gil.

It's my responsibility

to finish his work.

Now I finally understand why Jesus
allowed Judas to be at the last supper.

He let Judas sit with the disciples

so that they could all see
he was right about him.

Sit down.

Jeong Su-jin
must've lost her grip on the reins.

If she can't control Park Dong-ho,

then what use do I have for her?

I wrote a novel when I was younger.

And I was told that the best way to learn
was by mimicking someone else's work.

Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Five years is a long time to be together.

I'll return all of your things.

The wedding ring

from our broken-off engagement.

I'll see if there's
anything else that belongs to you.

Let's take Jeongbal Interchange route.

But that's the long way around.

Is it because you don't wanna
drive by the Capital Hospital?

What was it like?

It must still haunt you.

Do you still remember
President Jang's last moments?

Can you
still hear him struggling

even when you cover your ears?

When you stood over him,

do you still remember
what sound he made in the end?

How can you sit there
and justify what you did?

Do you still feel any guilt
for what happened?

I swear to you now

I'll defend your honor…

…and I'll protect your…

I'll protect your family.

I think I know,

what lives inside of me
lives inside of you.

I sent President Jang away.

I used the red handkerchief he gave me
to send him out of this world.

I felt him

take his last breath.

Listen to me, Man-gil.

It's my responsibility

to finish his work.

None of this would've happened if you
had gotten rid of those few bad apples

when Seo Gi-tae
was investigating the case.

I couldn't.
The president's son was involved.

The administration
would've collapsed entirely.

You shouldn't cut a big tree down
just because of a couple of bad apples.

A seemingly insignificant pest
can spell disaster for a giant tree.

Don't be so overly dramatic, okay?
There's a little bit of rot in every--

You can never recover what is rotten.

If Jo Sang-cheon was judged
by those standards, so should we!

I'm sure you were

quite disappointed

when President Jang
met with Kang Sang-un behind your back.

It probably made you

more angry when he tried to throw you
in jail after serving him for ten years.

Sometimes, I do wonder

what would've happened if

he had decided to discuss
his son's issues with you first.

After all, it was you
who tampered with his campaign books

to make his problems go away.

And you even ran several smear campaigns
in order to weaken his competition,

so just maybe, then…

you could've ended up
in this seat instead of me.

And you know that as well as I do.

I'm curious.

What was it
that fueled your anger towards me?

Was it a sense of justice? Or, hmm…

do you just want revenge on all your peers
for abandoning you for President Jang?

It could be a little bit of both, right?

Humans are complex creatures, after all.

Prepare for
the upcoming impeachment proceedings.

The prime minister
hasn't been sworn in yet.

Find out what happens if the president
were ever to die or be impeached

in circumstances like these.

Park Dong-ho, Jeong Su-jin,
Kang Sang-un, and Jang Hyeon-su

will all be subjected
to a special investigation.

The president didn't tell you?

Both his and Jeong Su-jin's
recorded confessions

will be revealed to the public today.

President Park Dong-ho

is prepared to risk everything now.

He told me to prepare a trip
next month to the United States.

He also asked me to write
the first draft of his UN speech.

He told me that this morning.

So I hold the reigns in my hands,

and with that recording,
you hold the whip.

My hands are dirty
from trying to assassinate President Jang,

and yours are tainted
for actually pulling it off.

What you did
got you where you are right now,

and what I did got me the Blue House.

But the only way out of this mess for you
is to turn over that recording.

I've always thought of you…

as the type of man who'd throw himself
off a cliff just to win.

But you're throwing everyone else off

and staying on top all by yourself,
aren't you?

On that rainy night,
when I went to see President Jang,

I wanted to cleanse our country.

If I leave the Blue House,

then Jo Sang-cheon
will likely take over as president.

Chairman Kang will still be free,

and I can't allow that.

I won't leave the Blue House
until I've taken out all the trash.

I'm going to remain the president
until I've cleared

every speck of corruption within.

Madame Chief of Staff,

I need you to resign from your position
as soon as the new office is ready to go.

Mr. President?

Thank you for nominating me
as the prime minister.

I will do my best, sir.

Park Chang-sik,
the nine-tailed fox of Yeouido.

You changed party affiliations 15 times
and withdrew eight times in total.

You founded six new parties.

You should be called
the "migratory bird of Yeouido" instead,

for always flip-flopping sides.

Seventy percent of the people
on the public polls

agreed you're an obsolete politician.

For a day of celebration, your jokes
are a little bit harsh.

In your 30-year political career, I wonder
how much dirt you've accumulated.

It's time for a new suit.

The people on this list
are on Chairman Kang's payroll.

I want them out of the legal sphere,
politics, and wherever else.

Blacklisting a specific group of people
could be problematic.

Legally speaking.

"A leader of reform
and the eradication of corruption."

That seems like a great new suit to wear
in your next election.

Madame Chief of Staff,

I'd like you to take over
Chairman Park's vacant seat

when he becomes the prime minister.

The general elections are in six months.
We need to secure nominations.

I'll bring in new people

to help revolutionize our party.

Chairman Park will do work here,

and you will work over in Yeouido instead.

During that time,
do you mind if I postpone my promise?

I'm going to remain the president

until I've cleared
every speck of corruption within.

As you wish.

You should prepare yourself
for the hearing.

Especially when--

Uh…

-Yes?
-Dad.

Dad, please help me, please.

These people will kill me
if I don't give them money, Dad.

To pass the confirmation hearing,
we need to make sure you're spotless.

So no issues with your kids'
school records, enlisting, or employment.

Can I trust you with that?

Uh, absolutely.

DAEJIN MEDICAL CENTER

Didn't I tell you?

All the world's problems exist
because people are trusting and generous.

I believe
that I am no longer useful to you.

So you won't be seeing me around anymore,
Chairman Kang.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Please tell me
you're not threatening an old man.

I'm simply taking responsibility
for my failures and stepping aside.

The list of all the people on my payroll
ended up in Park Dong-ho's hands.

Now they're becoming paranoid.
They sleep with one eye open.

I don't have enough hands as is.

I guess for the time being,

you could be of use
even without the reins.

So you're saying that you're giving me
another chance for now?

You know, even the cleaning ladies
at my company have full time jobs.

You've been cleaning up your husband's
mess for how many years now?

It's only fair you get the same chance.

It appears Park Dong-ho is planning to use
Park Chang-Sik to go after our people.

He needs to be stopped.
You can help with that, ma'am.

We don't want them
investigating our investments in Macao.

Come in.

Sir, we've received some new intelligence.

You know it's against protocol

to interact with an individual
under government inspection.

Feel free to send that info
to the first deputy chief prosecutor.

A high-ranking official's son
was involved in an overseas-gambling case.

He's racked up a debt of 500 million won.

He's currently being held
in the casino basement

because he can't pay back his debt.

I'd be jumping on
this opportunity right away

if it weren't for the audit.

I entrust this case to you.

After all,
you're the brightest star of our team.

We're all sure you'll do an amazing job.

Hmm.

Mm.

Ooh, cool.

-Seriously
-Uh-huh.

Well, it's been delivered.

Listen, Su-jin.

My wife found a place.
And it's by the Blue House.

Perfect for my new post
as senior secretary, don't you think?

You know what?
I think she signed the contract already.

Ah. Mm. Got it.

Mm-hmm.

That was… bitter.

I've heard rumors that Choi Yeon-sook
might be going back to Yeouido.

The senior party members are saying
that she already reached out to them.

We need to be one step ahead.

First, we need to find a way
to break Park Dong-ho's left arm.

PRESIDENT PARK DONG-HO NOMINATES
PARK CHANG-SIK FOR PRIME MINISTER

THE BLUE HOUSE OFFICIAL RESIDENCE

Those bastards sent them.

My wife collapsed yesterday.

She's in the hospital.

Even when I lost the elections,
she never lost her smile.

But this is too much for a mother.

You can't send them the money.

Your son is an adult.
He chose to gamble illegally.

This is a bad look.

But you can still pass
the confirmation hearing.

If you pay the ransom, you'll
be violating the Foreign Exchange Act

and breaking the law.

You won't become prime minister.

You're saying I should abandon my son
to save my neck?

I'm sure prosecutors
are monitoring your bank accounts.

If anyone in your family sends money,
they'll see it.

Be careful because they'll be watching
your every move from now on.

We should get
the local police to cooperate.

We have to do this by the books.

That'll take way too long.

My wife is already at her limit.

Just stop the prosecution
from investigating.

Lee Jang-seok is leading them.

You're the only one who can stop him.

Aren't you?

GAMBLING INVESTIGATION RESULTS

As prime minister,
I'll be your right hand.

And all of the men who support me
in the assembly will be your shield.

Please help rescue my son.

I'm asking you as a father.

GRAVE OF ASSEMBLYMAN SEO GI-TAE

The prosecutor general
submitted his resignation.

It's a formality, a way of asking for
the new president's trust.

But I'm planning on accepting it.

There have been many problems
in the past decades,

such as abuse of power,
special treatments,

and even prosecutorial monopoly.

Jang-seok, listen.

I want you to take that position.

Build a new prosecutors' office
that stands up against injustice.

Leave all the cases
you're currently investigating.

Don't make any more enemies for now.

Chairman Park Chang-sik
reached out to me.

He told me you'd give me
a new order today,

that you'd want
to slow down the investigation.

On the way here,
I was wondering…

whether or not you'd ask me for a favor

or threaten me.

Now I see…

what a real friend you are,

offering me jobs and all.

Jang-seok, take a step back

just this once.

What kind of prosecutor would I be?

-I'm using him, so just listen.
-Dong-ho.

So you don't want me
to perform my duties as a prosecutor?

I don't remember you
taking a step back from investigating

President Jang Il-Jun's son.

You should've opened
an investigation on your son

as soon as you heard of the PE fund.

I'm sure President Jang

asked you to do what you're asking me now.

I would like you to step down
from your position.

I can't stand by and watch you destroy
the future of this country.

You didn't step back.

So don't ask that of me.

Here. I wrote this earlier.

I'm gonna do my job with or without you.

If what you need is
a loyal hound to take my place,

the Prosecutors' Office has plenty.

I can even recommend you some.

RESIGNATION LETTER

I, Park Chang-sik,
as prime minister nominee,

swear that I will

speak the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

at this Assembly confirmation hearing.

My testimony today is truthful.

Apparently, he's planning
to confirm the rumors

of his son's gambling problem,

but he'll say he never wired any money.

Well, his plan will fall through.

We will now begin
the confirmation hearing

for the prime minister candidate
Park Chang-sik.

Min Byeong-il,
from the Korean Liberal Party,

will be asking the questions.

TWO DAYS BEFORE CONFIRMATION HEARING

Province disintegration
is a serious issue.

I heard they're merging
your constituency, Mr. Min.

MIN BYEONG-IL
KOREAN LIBERAL PARTY ASSEMBLYMAN

I'll save your constituency for you

because if you lose it, you'll no longer
be able to come to Yeouido.

A casino manager stated
that he released your son

upon receiving 500 million won.

Was it you who paid off
your son's gambling debt?

Well, that, for sure, is not true.

The words of a random casino manager

against the words of an individual

who is currently on track
to becoming the prime minister.

Where's your evidence?

Words aren't enough.
We need documents, so let's see them.

Accusations of this nature
have heavy implications

and require a legal foundation.

So what you're implying
should be supported with facts.

Mr. Min has the files
from the Macao Police investigation.

I gave them to him myself.

If you have evidence,
please share it with us. Bring it forward.

ONE DAY BEFORE THE CONFIRMATION HEARING

How did the man
who wrote the Political Fund Act

end up with that kind of money?

I get it. Nobody can do politics
without using the citizens' money.

I understand. I really do.

But I don't know if the CIO

would think the same.

Which do you want to save here?

Your whole future or your constituency?

I have no more questions.

Looks like Mr. Min went over
to the other side, ma'am.

RESIGNATION LETTER

Will you keep lying in the sacred halls
of the National Assembly?

You didn't step back.

So don't ask that of me.

So you want to start a war?

I think

perhaps your time is coming to an end,

so enjoy it while you still can.

Yes, what?

Jang-seok.

Never change.

And you?

I am going to change

the world.

Breaking news.

The Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office has made an arrest.

The suspect made an illegal wire transfer
to an overseas casino in Macao.

The suspect has been revealed
to be the brother-in-law of Mr. Kim,

secretary to prime minister nominee
Park Chang-sik.

Prosecutors believe he transferred money

to the casino at the request
of his brother-in-law, Mr. Kim,

whose whereabouts remain unknown

despite the prosecution's efforts
to find him.

Authorities say he's gone radio silent
ever since the suspect's arrest.

The investigation has widened to include

examining possible involvement
by Park Chang-sik.

MR. PARK WITHDRAWS

It appears former chairmen
Yoo Hong-man and Lee Jae-cheon

reject their nominations
for prime minister.

The administration'll be fragile
without a prime minister.

Jeong Su-jin will continue
to use the press to make you look bad.

We need someone and fast.

Why don't we start running
the government with a deputy pr--

No need.

I know who I should nominate in his place.

No one wants to take it on.
Not even members of your own party.

Even senior officials
are refusing to be nominated.

There's somebody.

They already submitted a consent form

and formally agreed to be nominated.

DAEJIN MEDICAL CENTER

I'm sorry
to make you worry about this when

you should be worrying about your health.

When you reach a certain age,

worrying's pretty much all you do.

I think it's time we take care
of Park Dong-ho's right arm.

Choi Yeon-sook's Achilles' heel is--

Father.

President Park's administration
will nominate the Korean Liberal Party's

Assemblywoman Jeong Su-jin
as the next prime minister.

Jeong Su-jin was the deputy prime minister
for the last administration.

We believe that she
will faithfully carry out the tasks

of the current government

and aid the administration
in managing the country…

Chairman Park now knows

who first made the report
on his son's gambling scandal.

JEONG PIL-GYU

I let him know
how Jeong Su-jin used the press

and the Prosecutors' Office
as her blade to butcher him and his son.

As for Jo Sang-cheon

he knows Jeong Su-jin
was behind his defeat.

I let him know it was her

who revealed the information
about his brother in North Korea.

And it was her
who brought forth his downfall

in the last presidential election.

Chairman Park has influence on one side
and Jo Sang-cheon on the other.

She will be pulled relentlessly
between two raging leaders.

One will chop her up,

and the other will rip her apart.

Her family will be destroyed.

Her husband will be humiliated
before the whole nation.

Do you think she can withstand it all?

This hearing…

will be Jeong Su-jin's execution.

THE WHIRLWIND
