All language subtitles for Designated Survivor 60 days S01E04 Day 58 - Confession

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

You don't have to worry
about the FTA renegotiations.

I've sent one of our people to ensure
our alliance with the US won't suffer.

The air pollution level test result
provided by the EPA...

There’s an error in the numbers.

(PREVIOUSLY)

Please contact the Korean delegation.

He will be held responsible
for today's incident

and dismissed from office.

There was an explosion
at the National Assembly

during the President's
State of the Nation Address.

The main building of the National Assembly

has collapsed.

Thank you

for coming.

You have been entrusted

with all the authority and duties

of the President of the Republic of Korea.

What happens if I step down
as Acting President?

I'm unqualified.

Your termination had no legal effect.

(MINISTER
PARK MU-JIN)

There was no time to process it.

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

We shouldn’t react emotionally.

We don’t have time, President Park.

Give your consent to announce DEFCON Two.

What happens

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

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

on something uncertain
that hasn’t even been confirmed?

Will you remove Sawagiri Fleet

from Korean waters?

The person in the most danger today
within the bunker...

Park Mu-jin. It was you.

There have been acts of violence
in Mohyeon and Bogil.

An executive order?

If you wish to issue an executive order,
you will have to fire me.

As of now,

Secretary Han is dismissed of his job.

It's a bomb! I found an explosive!

"Explosive demolition"?

The explosive demolition method
requires fuses planted

all over the building to make it work.

So?

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

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.

Who is less unfortunate?

Is it the family of the deceased

or the family of the missing?

Do you still think you don't desire
power and authority?

It's not that he never wanted power,

but he just didn't have the chance.

(DECEASED)

(MISSING)

(KIM JUN-O)

There's a survivor here!

It's a survivor!

There's a survivor?

Where?

There's a survivor!

Where is the survivor?

- Over there.
- My gosh!

- Yes, we found a survivor.
- Gosh!

- Oh, my goodness.
- I hope he's okay.

My gosh!

- There.
- Hang in there. We almost have him.

Grab his arm first.

Be careful. Watch the arm.

One, two, three!

Hurry up!

- Dad! Dad...
- Hurry!

Hey, the feet too.

Cover him up.

- One, two, three!
- Three!

- Let's go.
- Dad!

- Dad!
- Move back, please.

Please move back.

Please move back.

Hold tight, okay?

- Dad!
- Go slowly.

Let's go slowly, okay?

Dad!

I got him. I'm holding him.

Slowly.

- Please move back.
- Hold on. I just want to see...

- Please let us...
- There he is!

- Dad!
- Please move back!

Do you remember the explosion?

- What happened?
- Let us through!

Please give us a comment.

How do you feel
about being the sole survivor?

Please identify yourself!

Do you remember the explosion?

Where were you during the explosion?

The survivor who was miraculously rescued
two days after the explosion

has been identified as an independent
first-term assemblyman Mr. Oh Yeong-seok.

The bombing resulted
in approximately 200 casualties,

which include the President,

the Prime Minister,
as well as members of the Cabinet.

The first survivor,
Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok...

The youngest member
of the 21st National Assembly.

He's the first assemblyman from Honam

that was elected to represent
a TK district.

That was possible
because he's independent.

He beat a three-term assemblyman
who even served as a floor leader.

Don't you remember, sir?

Attention, everyone!

Work on a spotlight story
on Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok.

What has he done for his district
and in the Assembly?

It's his first term,
so find out how he got into politics.

"The fighter, Oh Yeong-seok.

The messenger of hope
risen from the midst of despair."

Isn't it great?

Now, get to work!

(ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK
FOUND ALIVE)

Assemblyman Oh's survival

is giving hope to our people

who were drowning in despair.

Life is quite interesting, isn't it?

Someone becomes a beacon of hope
just for being alive.

And another gains
the highest power in Korea

just for being alive.

With no qualifications

and without being vetted.

(ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK
DRAMATICALLY RESCUED)

That's great news.

I hope we'll hear

about more survivors being rescued.

Mr. President.

Those at the site

don't think that is very likely.

By tomorrow, the 72-hour
golden time of rescue will expire.

And we're concerned
that there may be a secondary collapse.

I think

Assemblyman Oh could be
the first and last...

He may be the only survivor.

I'll arrange for a congratulatory letter
to be sent to him under your name, sir.

And please have a look.

It's your approval rating based on
your administrative operation work.

In the presidential candidate
preference poll,

you were ranked number five,
following Ms. Yun Chan-gyeong

and Mayor Kang.

I heard from the reporters

that many media outlets
are working on stories about you.

They'll probably be about whether or not
you qualify to run for President.

That makes me feel

a little uneasy.

I'll be going back to teaching in 60 days.

I don't want to be considered a candidate.

It's simply not right given the situation.

You want me to control the press because
it's not the kind of story you want?

Then they'll publish stories about how
the Blue House infringed on their rights.

- I meant...
- You know

that's not what he meant.

I'm saying he needs to know.

With even Secretary Han gone now,

every word you say will be a reflection
of the Blue House's political choice

regardless of your intention.

The media will continue to talk about you
as one of the presidential candidates.

And...

I welcome that.

What do you mean?

It's proof that the people are in support
of your leadership.

Do you think a mere Acting President

can have a more powerful tool than that
here in the Blue House?

What?

I guess the power went out.

No. Something's wrong.

The Blue House can't have a power outage.

Please don't leave the room!

Mr. President!
Away from the window, please.

What's happening?

It's the Blue House.

It seems like the Blue House
is the target this time.

(DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS)

(DAY 58: CONFESSION)
(EPISODE 4)

Yes, okay.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Our internal network firewall
has been breached.

Disconnect the link first.

Hurry up! Disconnect it!

The whole system is down, sir.

This is crazy.

Where's the breach?

Don't tell me
that our network has been hacked.

The Blue House's network
was designed to be breach-proof.

Then how...

Have you heard of the Trojan horse?

The firewall opened up internally

while the power was coming back on.

Is it possible to check
if there was a data breach?

That's not what they were after.

They left a video on our server.

Look.

Do you think it's true?

We won't be able to authenticate the video

until the NSC receives the report

from NIS.

If it's true,

the Blue House
will obviously be affected, right?

If the video is made public,

we can expect political attacks
against you, sir.

It may fundamentally jeopardize
your position as Acting President.

(YEOMINGWAN)

(NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL)

Shall we begin?

As you've heard,

the Blue House's network
was hacked last night.

And the hackers left this video
for our government.

This is a message for you puppets
in the South.

We want to propose a summit
between the North and South.

You talk about peaceful reunification,

and yet you're colluding
with American imperialists behind our back

while practicing nuclear attacks on us.

The National Assembly Building,
the heart of you political profiteers,

is hereby judged in the name of
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Moreover, do not

mock the Republic
or the heroic people of the DPRK.

We still have

our powerful nuclear weapons.

Do not start bloodshed

on our sacred Korean peninsula.

Long live

the strong socialist nation,
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Long live
the great people of the Republic!

So...

North Korea just confessed

that they bombed
the National Assembly Building.

And they hacked the Blue House's network
to deliver this message.

First off,

would you please fill us in
regarding the video's authenticity?

Sure.

This is our counterterrorism agent,
who used to be

in the North Korea
and Counterintelligence Task Forces.

I'm Jeong Han-mo, sir.

(NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE)

Agent Han Na-gyeong.

I'd like you to go on my behalf.

The survivor, you know.

Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok.

I got a call from the hospital.

Visitation is allowed now.

Does he remember what happened?

Are you asking me to report to you?

Here, in my office?

My apologies, sir.

Go and find out.

Han-mo should go,

but he has to report something
to the higher-ups at this early hour.

"The higher-ups"? Do you mean...

BH.

(BH: BLUE HOUSE)

The man in the video is...

the head of the Operations Bureau
of North Korea's RGB, Myung Hae-jun.

Myung Hae-jun is
Choe Seo-ryong's adopted son.

Choe Seo-ryong is...

one of the seven pallbearers.

In other words, he's one of the most
powerful officials in North Korea

who led the succession plans.

Choe Seo-ryong is one of
the best-known military officials,

who has been leading
North Korea's "Military First" policy.

Then,

are you saying the video isn't fake?

However, we checked through the hotline,

and the North strongly denied
knowledge regarding the video

as well as the attack.

They'd never admit
launching an attack on us.

From the Rangoon bombing in 1983

to the bombing at Gimpo Airport

during the 1986 Asian Games,

they've always denied everything
as they do now.

Strongly.

Then why?

Why is this an exception?

I just think it's a little odd.

Why did they confess?

And they sent us a video directly
using the Blue House's network.

Are you still going to defend
North Korea, Mr. Park?

He is the Commander-in-Chief
of the ROK military at the moment.

Would you please address him
appropriately, sir?

I'll keep that in mind.

I'm not defending North Korea.

I just want to make a logical deduction.

It's the same North Korea.

Why is it different this time?

In this case,

what's the most logical deduction
the intelligence agency can make?

We would suspect
there is an ulterior motive.

An ulterior motive?

Yes. Someone might have wanted
the Blue House to blame North Korea

for the attack.

Who?

For what reason? Why?

For now, Myung Hae-jun is the one
holding the key.

Can we find his whereabouts?

Yes, we tracked his IP address

and have confirmed that the video was
uploaded in Cambodia, not North Korea.

Cambodia?

Yes. Cambodia is
where Myung Hae-jun was dispatched

to earn foreign money.

(INFORMATION ON MYUNG HAE-JUN)

Are you saying Myung Hae-jun is
in Cambodia now?

We requested the Cambodian
intelligence agency to check on that.

We asked them to confirm
whether he had entered the country,

considering there is a chance
he might be in disguise.

It won't be easy.

Cambodia is much closer to North Korea
than us.

As North Korea is denying
the responsibility for the attack,

they will not hand him over to us.

NIS and the military,

please find a way to locate Myung Hae-jun.

One more thing.

This video clip must not be leaked.

Causing confusion regarding
the bomber at this point in time

would be devastating.

"Devastating." For whom?

Do you mean for national security...

or for your position?

If the video is leaked,

the people will completely lose
faith in President Park.

He rescued the North Korean submarine

and prohibited discrimination
against North Korean refugees.

He will look like he played
into North Korea's hands.

We can hush the press corps

regarding the Blue House power outage,

but what if an insider leaks the fact

that we got hacked and about the video?

There are so many online news sites.

Once one of them discovers this,
it will be...

I thought you were here
to do that difficult job.

I didn't ask if it's possible.

I want you to make it possible.

You're born with that, right?

You always say the right thing,
but you always sound like a douche bag.

Watch it, punk.

This has never happened before,

so we're studying other countries' cases.

You can make decisions about the things
regarding the state funeral protocol

like the chief funeral commissioner
appointment at the meeting, sir.

Excuse me. Sir?

Where were we?

I'll escort him to the conference room.

Okay.

All right.

Don't worry.

General Lee said that
because he doesn't know you.

It must be hard for him to believe

that there's a politician
who is not concerned about his position.

General Lee was right.

I was...

worried about myself

when I first saw the video.

Sir.

I was afraid I was wrong.

It was the same with the submarine
and Mohyeon and Bogil.

Once I lose this position,
I can't get it back.

(WRITTEN REPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT)

(PARK MU-JIN)

So other than the Vice-Ministers,
who else is participating

the enlarged Cabinet meeting?

I guess I should go with a red tie.

Excuse me, sir?

The picture of me
that will be hung up here.

Mayor Kang may not care to be
the Chief Funeral Commissioner,

but he'll want to give the eulogy.

Mayor Kang is a natural politician.

He loves cameras so much.

Neither Yun Chan-gyeong and Kang Sang-gu
will budge an inch.

It will be hard to even decide
whether the funeral

should be 5 days long or 7.

Can't we just follow the protocol?

For the two of them,

this is similar to setting campaign rules.

(MAYOR OF SEOUL)

It should be seven days long.

Five days are enough.

It's a joint funeral

for the President, cabinet members,
and civilians.

This is a state funeral
we're talking about.

That state funeral is supposed to last
five days according to the law.

There must be a reason for that.

Our citizens need enough time to mourn.

They need some time to cry.

You can't say, "Time's up,"
and remove the tents.

It will break the people's hearts.

You can't just sit and cry
while using up all the savings.

Didn't you see the economic indicator
for the first half?

- We need national integration.
- We need national integration.

The longer the mourning period is,

the better it is for Mayor Kang.

That way he can convert people's sympathy
for President Yang's tragic death

to votes for him.

In elections, there is one thing
that is scarier than regionalism.

Sympathy votes.

Then the opposition party

must want to end the mourning
as soon as possible.

Yun Chan-gyeong won't want to yield a bit.

Bingo.

(SEONJIN REPUBLICAN PARTY DELEGATE)

I will give in.

Let's make it seven days.

It will have to be
a Special Enforcement Ordinance.

I'll be the Chief Funeral Commissioner,
as I'm the leader of the opposition party.

For national integration.
Wouldn't that be better, Mayor Kang?

Oh, my. You'll have a lot on your hands.

How can I help lessen that burden?

Then...

- I can give the eulogy...
- The eulogy

must be given by someone
who can give new hope to the people.

So...

Are you saying that's you?

I was thinking
of Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok.

Assemblyman Oh is a message himself.

The courage to power through hardships
and an iron will.

That's the message
our people want to hear right now.

How is Assemblyman Oh's condition?

Can he return to the Assembly?

Let me answer your questions.

When he was brought to the hospital,

he was suffering from
dehydration and malnutrition.

He had abrasions and contusions
all over his body.

His CT scan and blood test

came back clean
without any irregularities.

We consider it a miracle.

When will he be discharged?

Does he remember the bombing?

No.

I can't recall anything.

Not a single thing.

I'm sorry for making you
relive the nightmare.

Your memory is the only lead
we have in figuring out

what happened that day.

Could you think long and hard for me?

Maybe you saw someone suspicious that day?

Was there anything unusual
that seems to have foretold the attack?

That day,

I was sitting in the auditorium
with my fellow assemblymen

listening to the President's
State of the Nation Address.

That is the present and...

The air turned solemn

...the future.

due to the minority party's boycott.

And then...

Then...

Therefore, our government will...

I apologize.

I can't remember anything after that.

I still can't believe it.

I feel like...

the whole world...

is playing a joke on me.

The fact that there was a bombing,

that I'm the sole survivor,

and also...

(GET WELL SOON
ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK)

(YOU ARE OUR HOPE
ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK)

(I WISH YOU A QUICK RECOVERY)

(MIRACLE SURVIVOR
ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK)

(I WISH YOU THE BEST!)

Ever since the attack,

we've been waiting ardently...

for our loved ones to return to us alive.

We prayed for a miracle...

that we never believed in before.

Sir, you've become that miracle to us.

But I lost everything.

My superiors who gave me dreams,

colleagues who gave me friendship,

and my staff with whom I spent more time

than my family.

Korea lost
its National Assembly Building that day,

but I lost everyone

I shared my dreams with.

Given all that,

must I still be happy...

about the fact that I lived?

(SEONJIN REPUBLICAN PARTY DELEGATE)

(MAYOR OF SEOUL)

The eulogy,

as per Assemblywoman Yun's suggestion
as Chief Funeral Commissioner,

will be given
by Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok.

This is a state funeral.

If a newly appointed assemblyman
gives the eulogy,

it'll be a mockery of the administration.

Mr. Mayor, Ms. Yun is a club owner.

What?

Is her party
taking over a pro baseball club?

I mean that she knows which beat to play.

Would she have suggested
that Assemblyman Oh give the eulogy

without considering its significance?

Are you planning
to recruit Assemblyman Oh to your party?

The man currently receiving
the public's entire attention

gives a touching eulogy at the funeral.

He then states his support for you
and joins your party.

That itself
is a perfect election campaign.

It's something even my advisers
don't know about.

No wonder President Yang
kept you by his side.

If we're talking secrets, I know one too.

The Blue House's network was compromised

and it has something
to do with the recent attack.

How am I doing so far?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Lying isn't your forte, I see.

I was a long time member of the SCBA.

(SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND ACCOUNTS)

The Blue House computers
are being replaced ahead of schedule.

And in these urgent times, too.

It indicates something happened.

However, the reporters who are dying

for anything to write about
the Blue House are silent.

Why?

Because the Blue House
is desperately keeping it under wraps.

What is going on within these walls?

Let me enlighten you, ma'am.

- Ms. Jeong.
- Yes?

Please escort Assemblywoman Yun
to the reception room.

Please follow me.

You can't do this, sir!

You know how this will end. Moreover

this is Assemblywoman Yun.

There's no other way

than to tell her the truth.

Honesty only gets you a merit badge
in the Boy Scouts.

This isn't about right or wrong,
but your political choice.

You're right, Secretary Cha.

This is Assemblywoman Yun.

Now that she is suspicious,

it's a matter of time
before she finds out about the video.

However,

if we share this secret with her,
she won't be able to reveal it.

It'll be just as much
a political burden for her as well.

But Mr. President...

I have made the decision
as the person with the highest authority.

Honesty

is my political stance.

Long live
the great people of the Republic!

Who else knows about this video?

The members of the NSC.

(NSC: NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL)

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman,
NIS Deputy Director, presidential aides,

and now you.

Why didn't you reveal it
upon receiving it?

At this moment,

imprudent fear and panic
regarding the bombers

will only bring the people
unnecessary strife and confusion.

Just like the incidents
in Mohyeon and Bogil.

So?

Does that frighten you?

Unnecessary strife and confusion?

If it were me,

I would've used
a common enemy on the outside.

The greater the fear and panic,

the more compliant
the people will be to your authority.

But it may incite a war.

That is

just a possibility.

It's not an actual war.

Would you please maintain confidentiality

until we locate Myung Hae-jun?

Sure.

After all, I don't hold
the highest authority in Korea.

You do.

Hot!

You should eat first.

Wait, is this a protest?

The President passed away

and there's no
Chief Presidential Secretary,

so that makes you the only person
who can do the job properly.

Thus, you barely have enough time
to eat cup noodles,

and you're showing us that
you alone are working like a dog.

Secretary Han would never have allowed

our sharing that video
with Assemblyman Yun.

President Park doesn't stand a chance
against her.

He currently holds the highest authority
in Korea.

Who would challenge him?

Assemblyman Yun

is the first party executive

ever to become a minority leader.

It means that she will do anything
and is afraid of nothing.

Your three minutes are up.

President Park...

needs his Chief Presidential Secretary.

That's the first time
we agreed on something.

No one in the Blue House
is currently on his side.

At least one should support his decisions

and be shield.

Just like you were
when he was the Minister of Environment?

I had no idea you were aiming higher.

Well, I'm just as surprised.

Who knew that I was competent enough

to be a threat to you?

One, two. This way.

Alpha Team is ready.

Is it true

that you're seizing search and rescue?

We received the safety report.

The left side of the main building
is in danger of collapsing.

We can't risk more casualties.

The 72-hour golden time of rescue
has passed anyway.

There has been no movement caught on sonar

by motion sensors.

There are no survivors.

There was one. Assemblyman Oh.

We all saw him survive
from under the rubble.

That's why we call it a miracle.

It was a miracle.

Tell the rescue team
searching the conference room to move out!

Hurry!

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

It’s a bomb! I found an explosive!

Over here.

That day,

I was sitting in the auditorium
with my fellow assemblymen

listening to the President's
State of the Nation Address.

(STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS)

(WHERE ASSEMBLYMAN OH WAS RESCUED)

He was found here.

Assemblyman Oh told me

he was listening to the President
at the time of the explosion.

That's all the whole world
is talking about.

Can't I get a break?

Assemblyman Oh was found
on the opposite side.

If he was buried
as the building collapsed,

he couldn't have been found there.

(WHERE ASSEMBLYMAN OH WAS RESCUED)

Are you sure about this?

Myung Hae-jun
and his adoptive father Choe Seo-ryong

disappeared from the photos

of the National Committee
and the Founding Ceremony

along with the seven officials
from the state funeral.

It's likely that they were purged.

Choe Seo-ryong

was an artillery professor at
the North Korean VIP's college.

They were quite close.

Concluding that he was purged

is a bit of a stretch.

North Korea wants to be a normal country.

It could be a way of demonstrating

its will to abolish
the "military first" policy.

So Myung Hae-jun

rebelled against the purge

and defected to Cambodia?

Only that can explain
why his visions don't match North Korea's.

That's absurd.

Are you saying he acted alone?

Someone

other than North Korea
may be calling the shots.

Han-mo.

Jeez.

Chief Jeong.

Why are you saying my name like that?
You're scaring me.

What are you about to say now?

One false step now,

and it won't be just my job on the line.

Claims about the government
being just a figurehead

will resurface.

We'll be shut down.

Are you absolutely sure about this?

We have located where Myung Hae-jun was
in the video.

What?

This is the recorded footage of the speech

from National Assembly Television.

The reality

and what we should protect...

Assemblyman Oh was seated...

There. He's in the main auditorium.

Fast forward.

He wasn't lying.

Ji-won, what time
did the bomb go off again?

It was 3:15 p.m.

There's a minute and 35 seconds missing.

It must have been destroyed
from the impact of the explosion.

Na-gyeong.

Oh Yeong-seok's seat might be visible
on this phone's camera.

Find all the photos
that were taken at this time.

(PRESIDENT)

I don't think we can. She's dead.

What?

Do you want me to hack a victim's cloud
without a warrant or something?

Illegally?

Do you feel guilty
about illegal surveillance?

I'll take responsibility.
Say you were following my orders.

That's even worse.

You'll get hurt.

Even when it was due to orders from above,

NIS didn't protect anyone. You saw that.

I want to work here for a long time.

It's a good job with a good salary
and benefits

as long as you don't make me
break the law.

Isn't it weird?

No one survived the collapse.

Assemblyman Oh's location at the time
is unexplainable.

How could a miracle that didn't happen
once to anyone else...

happen twice?

(SEONJIN REPUBLICAN PARTY)

This is Yun Chan-gyeong.

I have something that would interest you.

It'll probably be a good opportunity.

Then I'll have to seize that opportunity.

Good night.

Sir, please cut all the top news
of Part 2 of News Show.

Why? Everyone put in their best effort

to put together the story
on Oh Yeong-seok's survival.

I have an exclusive.

The other media companies will be busy
writing follow-up stories for a week.

Come on.

Charm the viewers,
not the managing editor.

What is it about?

It's an exclusive interview
with President Park Mu-jin.

President Park?

You must have something.

- You have the location of Myung Hae-jun?
- Yes.

He's at a dense forest called Senmonari
at the border of Cambodia.

It's where Myung Hae-jun
was a mercenary in the past.

After being purged
by the authorities of North Korea,

Myung Hae-jun defected

and apparently chose
a location where he stayed in the past.

Please ask Cambodia for assistance.

Request them for extradition
of Myung Hae-jun.

The Cambodian government
is expressing disapproval.

The forest is a powder keg that
they've been disputing over with Vietnam.

They're worried that
sending in Cambodian troops

to catch Myung Hae-jun would spark
a border dispute with Vietnam.

We'll go.

We'll send Troop 707
and NIS black ops agents

to bring Myung Hae-jun back alive.

I've learned that is an intrusion
on Cambodian territory.

- It could cause a dispute.
- That's right.

Troop 707 and our black ops agents

are highly trained people.

If they secretly go through the jungle,

it could be possible.

Do you know why North Korea
still denies responsibility

for the Rangoong bombing?

It's because we weren't able
to catch the bombers ourselves.

If we don't catch Myung Hae-jun,

we'll repeat our mistake in history.

Deliver the thoughts of our military

to the Cambodian government.

However, we can't move our troops

without their consent.

Do you not want to catch Myung Hae-jun?

As much I want to catch him

for national security,

I can't allow our troops

to go to Cambodia for the same reason.

This...

is an order as Commander-in-Chief,

General Lee.

What's worse than a soldier
that was defeated in war...

is a commander that learned nothing
through that defeat.

President Park is that kind of commander.

And I don't intend to follow
the orders of someone like that.

It sounds like you're considering
disobeying him.

I think this was a first
since you were inaugurated.

Seeing you this firm.

The Presidents I served
were one or the other.

They're either overly confident or timid.

Which one

do you think I am?

An exclusive interview
with President Park?

(TBN NEWS SHOW PART 2
INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT PARK)

On News Show, and live at that?

Let's not waste our energy.

He doesn't like being on camera,

and he isn't used to going on live.

He wouldn't agree to do this.

Persuade your boss.

Help me out. As one
low man on the totem pole to another.

That's proper ethics.

It's 4 p.m., Ms. Woo.

Is it proper ethics to ask now
to prepare for a 7 p.m. news?

Then I have no choice.

I cut all the other news items

and I can't have them air nothing
during the news.

What about this?

"Why did North Korea admit
to the bombing in a video?"

Who was it? Who told you that?

Sources are my breadline.
I can't divulge that.

You won't be able to
write an article on that video.

We'll put an embargo on it.

I'll break the embargo.

If I write it, the rest of the press
will follow.

Is it okay if you are banned
from here forever?

My goal is to be an investigative
reporter, not a Blue House reporter.

I'm against this.

President Park isn't used to the media.

We have to stop the leak of the video.

What if there is an unexpected situation
while he's live?

Why take that risk?

Don't you know his political career
will be over if this video gets out?

Look.

Aren't all of you curious
about who leaked the video

to Woo Sin-yeong?

Who could it be?

It's obvious.

General Lee Gwan-muk,

NIS Director Ji Yun-bae,

and Assemblywoman Yun Chan-gyeong.

What time do we go live?

Mr. President?

Tell them

I'll do the interview.

- What?
- Yes, sir. What?

It is my decision.

I'll take responsibility.

(STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS
WHERE ASSEMBLYMAN OH WAS RESCUED)

Na-gyeong, I have something to show you.

Na-gyeong, I have something to show you.

This is a photo of the seats
taken with a cell phone.

It was saved on the cloud by that victim.

Assemblyman Oh's seat...

is here.

You were right.

It wasn't a miracle.

Assemblyman Oh knew...

that the National Assembly Building
would explode.

Five minutes until we go live.

Three minutes.

Here comes President Park.

Hello. Good afternoon.

Mr. President, have some water.

Take a deep breath.

Have some water.

Yes, thank you.

Are you okay, sir?

Go over the questionnaire carefully
one more time.

Where is the questionnaire?

- Where did it go?
- I...

Here.

Don't worry about it.

I'll do my best.

Here.

You'll be in front of cameras,

but you just have to be yourself.

If they realize what you're like,

it'll be hard for people to dislike you.

Since you

are a good person.

Can we trust you,

Ms. Woo?

I hope you don't put the President

in awkward situations by asking
questions not on the questionnaire.

Like asking about the video

for example?

It concerns national security.

I'll trust the conscience of a journalist.

Do you still think honesty
is your political choice, sir?

Honesty becomes your weakness
in this world.

And when you show your weakness,

you get attacked without fail,

just like Assemblywoman Yun Chan-gyeong
made you a target of attack.

I still have much room for improvement,

but I ask for your trust and support.

As a citizen,
I'll be rooting for you as well.

There was a single survivor
of the tragedy.

The survival of Assemblyman Oh
was a miracle.

What do you think?

I believe

it is a message of hope
in grave times like these.

I'll try my best to help
our nation get back on her feet

with hope and anticipation
during this time of crisis.

Time is almost up.

Thank you for making time
to do this interview.

(PRESIDENT PARK MU-JIN,
ACTING PRESIDENT PARK MU-JIN)

President Park's interview
is the top trending search term right now.

"TBN News Show
receives highest viewership."

I've never seen this before.

This means he did well, right?

Camera one is ready.

And go.

According to an announcement
of a polling organization this morning,

there seems to be quite some people that
want you to run for President next term.

After seeing a beginner at politics

become a presidential candidate
within three days,

some wonder if you consider
your role as Acting President

to be a stepping stone
to the presidency next term.

Do you plan to run for presidency
next term?

As a public official,
I don't think it is appropriate

to discuss the next presidential term.

I'll do my best as Acting President

until my term ends.

I see.

You are a man of principle as I heard.

However, the public already thinks of you

as a presidential candidate,

so I don't think you can avoid
inspection by the press.

Inspection? She never mentioned that.

Did she?

I have one last question for you.

On the morning
of the National Assembly Building tragedy,

I heard you were relieved of your post

as Minister of Environment
by the late President Yang.

Is that true?

Tell him not to answer.

Stop airing this.
She wasn't supposed to ask that.

What?
It would be catastrophic to air dead air.

It's best to continue airing it.

What the...

(DON'T ANSWER HER)

If this is true,

will the people of our nation
be able to accept you

as the head of administration?

This was her plan from the start.

Who did this?

Who used his dismissal to set this trap?

Woo Sin-yeong is quite something.

(IS IT TRUE YOU WERE DISMISSED
AS MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT?)

I wonder

if he really is a good person

as they say.

Members of Troop 707 stand by

so you can go to Cambodia upon my order.

President Park

isn't qualified as Commander-in-Chief.

Don't you watch the news?

I set everything up for you.

Aren't you curious about his answer?

That's not important.

He's finished, now that everyone knows
he was dismissed.

Do you admit you were dismissed?

Please answer me, Mr. President.

Is it true?

(DON'T ANSWER HER.
DENY IT.)

Yes, it's true.

(DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS)

All the trending search terms
and related stories

are regarding your dismissal.

The people will doubt your competence.

Do you truly believe that I can entrust
this country's safety to your hands?

Assemblyman Oh might have known
in advance about the attack.

He's a miraculous survivor.

He's loved by the people.

At the time of the bombing,

where were you and what were you doing?

Would you like
to change the world with me?
