[reporter] The Nobel Peace Prize is
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,312
primarily awarded for achievements
that have contributed
5
00:00:21,396 --> 00:00:23,982
for dispute resolutions between countries
6
00:00:24,065 --> 00:00:27,569
and improvements of human rights
for the people around the world.
7
00:00:27,652 --> 00:00:29,946
Since its establishment in 1901,
8
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,366
it has been awarded to the people
who dedicated themselves
9
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:36,911
for world peace,
a world with no discrimination,
10
00:00:36,995 --> 00:00:40,665
and the brotherhood of mankind
for over 120 years.
11
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:45,086
The Nobel Peace Prize is the greatest
praise and respect of mankind,
12
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:47,255
awarded to a great person
13
00:00:47,338 --> 00:00:51,259
who shall have cared for
the neglected ones with a warm hand.
14
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:53,428
Time to announce the winner.
15
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:58,683
The winner of the 2022
Nobel Peace Prize is
16
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:04,105
the president of the Republic of Korea,
Mr. Jang Il-jun.
17
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:08,902
We, the Nobel Committee,
18
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:12,614
are very proud to award the Nobel Prize
to the greatest man.
19
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:13,656
[crowd cheering]
20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,493
We hope the future
that he has been dreaming of
21
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:19,204
will be a pride of mankind and history.
22
00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:24,751
[Il-jun] Dong-ho!
23
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:26,920
[music fades]
24
00:01:27,545 --> 00:01:30,215
At last! My dream finally came true!
25
00:01:30,298 --> 00:01:32,675
-[Il-jun laughing]
-[pats Dong-ho's back]
26
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:36,304
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here.
27
00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:38,389
[Il-jun laughing]
28
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:43,895
So now… is there
anything you want from me?
29
00:01:45,396 --> 00:01:47,148
-There is something.
-Mm.
30
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:51,236
Of course. Anything you'd like.
What's mine is yours.
31
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:53,738
Prime Minister, what can I do for you?
32
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,202
I would like you to step down
from your position.
33
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:00,995
[dramatic music playing]
34
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:02,247
[Yeon-sook] A few days ago,
35
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:04,916
President Jang fell
into critical condition.
36
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:07,001
As of tonight,
37
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:10,004
Acting President Park is
also in critical condition.
38
00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:14,134
Call for a meeting with every key
military commander immediately.
39
00:02:14,217 --> 00:02:16,511
Our country is in a state of emergency.
40
00:02:16,594 --> 00:02:20,098
-[siren blaring]
-[tires squealing]
41
00:02:20,181 --> 00:02:22,183
[Su-jin] Four specialists
from Hangang Hospital
42
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:24,811
are on their way
to assist with the surgery.
43
00:02:24,894 --> 00:02:25,937
We've got orders.
44
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,439
[Su-jin] They were ordered by
the Blue House's chief of staff.
45
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:29,357
Don't let them in.
46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,275
KANG BYEONG-OH
47
00:02:30,358 --> 00:02:32,110
Yeah. It's being dealt with.
48
00:02:32,193 --> 00:02:33,903
[Su-jin] Listen to me closely.
49
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:36,614
No one remotely capable
of reviving Park Dong-ho
50
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:39,075
is to enter
that emergency room, understand?
51
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,327
The Hangang specialists
couldn't enter the hospital.
52
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,831
Apparently, it's against protocol
to admit outside personnel.
53
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:46,541
How's he doing?
54
00:02:46,624 --> 00:02:48,168
[Jeong-yeon] He's still unconscious.
55
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:51,588
We have to continue.
56
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,715
It's what he would have wanted.
57
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:55,216
General, excuse me.
58
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,386
Am I able to request an emergency order?
59
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:02,682
Secretary Seo,
go to the hospital director.
60
00:03:02,765 --> 00:03:04,767
[tense music playing]
61
00:03:08,646 --> 00:03:10,106
The chief of staff, Mr. Kang.
62
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:14,819
Armed Forces Hospital,
this is Kang Byeong-oh.
63
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:18,698
Yes, I understand.
64
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:23,870
Congrats on your promotion.
65
00:03:23,953 --> 00:03:26,539
You should head over to medical command
and begin your new position.
66
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:31,628
Mr. Director, the Armed Forces Hospital is
under your leadership as of this moment.
67
00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:33,671
[tense music continues]
68
00:03:35,298 --> 00:03:37,592
We'll take over from here.
Check the president's vitals.
69
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:40,553
[man 1] His heart is stopping!
Ventricular fibrillation.
70
00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:42,472
-Stand back.
-100 joules, ready!
71
00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:43,431
-Clear!
-[thud]
72

[monitor beeping]
74
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:51,648
[Il-jun] If I step down,
75
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,442
Jo Sang-cheon will win the next election.
76
00:03:55,777 --> 00:03:59,113
Dong-ho, do you really want
those conservative bastards
77
00:03:59,197 --> 00:04:01,074
taking over the Blue House again?
78
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:02,575
Well, that's not my concern.
79
00:04:03,451 --> 00:04:06,037
You should've opened an investigation
on your son
80
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,956
as soon as you heard of the PE fund.
81
00:04:08,706 --> 00:04:11,417
You should never have gone into business
with Vice-Chairman Kang.
82
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:15,713
[tense music continues]
83
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:20,551
I'll stop looking into the PE fund
if you take full responsibility.
84
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:22,595
[thud echoes]
85
00:04:26,182 --> 00:04:27,600

[monitor beeping]
87
00:04:35,858 --> 00:04:37,610
I'll step down after the election.
88
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:40,780
You can be the president
89
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:43,116
after I win this next race.
90
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:44,450
No can do, President Jang.
91
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:46,286
I have no intention
of cleaning up your mess.
92
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:52,834
[tense music continues]
93
00:05:11,936 --> 00:05:13,021
[music subsides]
94
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:14,772
So you want to start a war?
95
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:16,858
[dramatic music playing]
96
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:21,362
I have no choice.
97
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:22,780
[thud echoes]
98
00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:29,120
I can't stand by and watch you destroy
99
00:05:29,203 --> 00:05:30,747
the future of this country.
100
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,373

EPISODE 3
106
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:22,006
[man] He started breathing
without assistance yesterday.
107
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:22,924
5 DAYS LATER
108
00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:25,176
The blood flow in his heart
is returning to normal.
109
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:28,429
-We'll try to ensure a speedy recovery--
-No need to rush.
110
00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:32,183
He has a chronic heart condition.
I'm sure you know.
111
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:33,935
[unsettling music playing]
112
00:06:34,018 --> 00:06:36,312
So a stable recovery is our top priority.
113
00:06:37,271 --> 00:06:38,314
So no rush.
114
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,234
[unsettling music continues]
115
00:06:43,361 --> 00:06:45,196
[Jeong-yeon] They're concerned
about your liver.
116
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,281
The doctor said you should rest
for a few more days.
117
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:49,909
[Dong-ho] Jeong Su-jin has returned
to Yeouido in her third term.
118
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:53,246
She's rounding up new legislators.
119
00:06:53,329 --> 00:06:55,248
Listen to me. You shouldn't leave yet.
120
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,834
Sang-un is invoking
his right to remain silent.
121
00:06:57,917 --> 00:06:59,877
The poison is still in your system.
122
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:02,255
We have to be careful.
You could still die from it.
123
00:07:03,673 --> 00:07:05,508
I'm not gonna let them have their way.
124
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:13,641
[Jang-seok] I'm gathering officials
to set up a special investigation unit.
125
00:07:13,724 --> 00:07:15,685
It'll take too much time
to get that coordinated.
126
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:17,478
Just work with who you have, Jang-seok.
127
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:20,189
But I don't have anyone
who has experience with special investi--
128
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:21,774
[Dong-ho] President Jang
has regained consciousness,
129
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:23,484
which means he's coming back.
130
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,695
Time is no longer on our side.
131
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:33,035
As soon as President Jang recovers,
drag him to the Blue House,
132
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,620
even if he's in a wheelchair.
133
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:36,456
Park Dong-ho has to resign, that bast--
134
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:39,542
That case…
has been transferred to prosecution.
135
00:07:40,751 --> 00:07:43,546
Because of the two alleged
attempted assassinations,
136
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:46,257
your case is now a part of
the overall investigation.
137
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:50,928
Most of those prosecutors are there
because I pulled a few strings.
138
00:07:51,012 --> 00:07:52,722
The prosecutor in charge
139
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:56,225
is Lee Jang-seok, the DA from
the Seoul Central District Office.
140
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:01,397
If they wanna get to me,
141
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:03,608
they'll have to get Jang Hyeon-su first.
142
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:06,986
-The President's son should be--
-Jang-seok will leave no stone unturned.
143
00:08:08,446 --> 00:08:10,114
And I'm backed into a corner for now.
144
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:11,407
[pensive music playing]
145
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:19,165
Perhaps it's time I do things my way…
146
00:08:21,709 --> 00:08:23,211
and you just watch from there.
147
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,056
Ikseong Accounting Firm.
148
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:36,933
The partner accountant
149
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:38,601
is Bae Dong-su.
150
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:39,977
I'll reach out to him.
151
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:43,147
He'll know
to get all the files ready for you.
152
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:46,692
Do what you want with them.
Keep it or destroy it.
153
00:08:47,276 --> 00:08:48,986
But as for my relationship
with Han Min-ho--
154
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:50,947
[Su-jin] He gets attached too easily,
155
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,573
and money is his weakness.
156
00:08:53,741 --> 00:08:56,285
[sighs] Don't approach my husband again.
157
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,210
Fifty voters in their first
and second terms will propose the act.
158
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,338
Most of our party members
will vote in favor.
159
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:08,631
We'll get a special prosecutor
160
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:11,259
if assemblyman Jo Sang-cheon
gets on board with us.
161
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:12,385
And once that happens,
162
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:14,512
the prosecutors' office
will lose its edge.
163
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:17,890
After that,
President Jang will make his return.
164
00:09:24,188 --> 00:09:25,314
Just give me a few days
165
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,359
and keep your mouth closed,
especially when you're eating.
166
00:09:30,778 --> 00:09:32,029
[sighs]
167
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,075

169

You won't believe this.
170
00:09:40,621 --> 00:09:42,999
Jang Hyeon-su has been
summoned by the prosecutor.
171
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,084
[intriguing music playing]
172
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:48,838
[reporter] President Jang's eldest son,
Jang Hyeon-su,
173
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:51,424
made his appearance
at the prosecutors' office this morning.
174
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:53,342
President Jang's supporters have gathered
175
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:56,596
at the Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office since this morning,
176
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,473
demanding that the investigation
on his son be brought to a halt.
177
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:02,518
They believe the prosecution began
with unjust motives.
178
00:10:03,019 --> 00:10:06,105
Jang Hyeon-su has been suspected of
investing in a private equity fund,
179
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:08,774
which resulted in profits of over 1,000%,
180
00:10:08,858 --> 00:10:10,735
supposedly through the sale
of Namsan Bank,
181
00:10:10,818 --> 00:10:13,362
investment in solar energy,
and other state projects.
182
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:14,989
PRESIDENT JANG'S ELDEST SON
JANG HYEON-SU
183
00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:16,866
The prosecution is also planning
on summoning
184
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:18,576
high-ranking government officials
185
00:10:18,659 --> 00:10:20,494
who were involved
in the private equity fund.
186
00:10:20,578 --> 00:10:22,496
The prosecution is confident
in their ability
187
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,373
to prove the charges against Jang Hyeon-su
188
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:27,251
based on the status
of the investigation thus far.
189
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:28,669
[door opens]
190
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:30,921
[unsettling music playing]
191
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:34,342
The president's fourth-year
approval rating is only 50%.
192
00:10:34,425 --> 00:10:38,679
The public still feels for him,
especially after the near assassination.
193
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:41,140
That means
that launching an investigation against--
194
00:10:41,223 --> 00:10:43,517
We have to. It's the only way to find out
195
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:45,853
why Kang Sang-un
tried to kill President Jang Il-jun.
196
00:10:45,936 --> 00:10:47,021
[sighs frustratingly]
197
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,485
I'll tell you why
Kang Sang-un was arrested.
198
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,570
Before the attempt
on the president's life,
199
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:57,657
Kang Sang-Un asked the president
for a special pardon.
200
00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:00,826
But the President refused, and that's why
Kang Sang-Un wanted him dead.
201
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:02,995
Why are you changing the narrative here?
202
00:11:05,539 --> 00:11:06,582
Now listen up.
203
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:10,961
When you are lost and don't know where
to go, you just follow this old donkey.
204
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:13,214
You should listen to me from now on.
205
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:16,175
[Dong-ho] The prosecution
will continue its investigation.
206
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:20,262
We'll let the court
make their own verdict.
207
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:23,057
A foolish move.
208
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:27,311
Well, I'm getting sick
of all you old donkeys.
209
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:30,898
THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BUILDING
210
00:11:30,981 --> 00:11:32,983
[indistinct chattering]
211
00:11:36,195 --> 00:11:39,073
What's the New Conservative Party's stance
on the Special Prosecution Bill?
212
00:11:39,156 --> 00:11:41,283
Well, I have to hear
what everyone thinks first.
213
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,327
Are you saying
the conservative party is undecided?
214
00:11:43,994 --> 00:11:45,663
No, we're just being thorough.
215
00:11:46,872 --> 00:11:50,960
[Su-jin] Out of respect for your party,
I'll let you choose candidates yourself.
216
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,170
I know you have personal experience
217
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:56,882
of being wrongfully investigated
by the special prosecution's office.
218
00:11:57,842 --> 00:12:02,012
I know the New Conservative Party
wants to reform the prosecution, as do we.
219
00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:08,769
The prosecution can't control everything.
220
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:12,064
It's not in the best interest
of our country, wouldn't you agree?
221
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:18,696
-[knocking at door]
-Chairman Jo, please.
222
00:12:24,201 --> 00:12:26,203
Your hearing aid has been repaired, sir.
223
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:28,664
[Sang-cheon] Oh boy.
224
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:31,000
It was so peaceful
not having to wear this.
225
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,419
Why did they have to repair this now?
226
00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:35,045
[grunts]
227
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:37,965
Ah, ah. [laughs]
228
00:12:38,674 --> 00:12:40,885
Okay. So what did you want?
229
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:45,639
You have an agenda to push here?
230
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:49,310
[sighs]
231
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:53,230
Today, the liberal party
will introduce a special bill.
232
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:56,984
Ah, ah, ah! I think this is broken, maybe.
233
00:12:57,693 --> 00:13:00,404
Oh, nope! Battery's dead. How unlucky.
234
00:13:00,488 --> 00:13:02,782
Can you please charge the battery for me?
235
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:03,783
Thank you.
236
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,452
What a pity this is.
237
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:09,205
It appears
238
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,665
I can't hear you out for now.
239
00:13:11,749 --> 00:13:13,751
[unsettling music playing]
240
00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:15,628
[laughs]
241
00:13:15,711 --> 00:13:17,713
[Dong-ho] You won't pass
the Special Prosecution Bill
242
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:19,715
if you can't get
the opposing party's support.
243
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,344
And I'm sure Chairman Jo will enjoy
watching me squabble with Jeong Su-jin.
244
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:26,138
I wonder how this will play?
245
00:13:27,389 --> 00:13:28,224
Take my advice.
246
00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:31,477
The political field is just like farming,
you understand?
247
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,729
You use barren lands to plant potatoes,
248
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:36,106
and you plant grains in fertile lands.
249
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:39,568
The Korean Liberal Party
is a field tilled by the president.
250
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:43,364
If you wanna use his land for farming,
then you should reap popular crops--
251
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:46,534
You say that because you've benefited
from farming on someone else's land.
252
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:47,743
Park Dong-ho!
253
00:13:49,578 --> 00:13:52,915
It's my turn to throw in a chip for you,
but don't ask me to go all in.
254
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:58,128
[music fades]
255
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:02,091
[device beeps]
256
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:08,639
I need you to meet with Bae Dong-su,
a partner at the Ikseong Accounting Firm.
257
00:14:08,722 --> 00:14:11,517
He'll have a file that was given to him
by Vice Chairman Kang.
258
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,686
-If it gets into the wrong hands--
-[man] Ma'am, wait.
259
00:14:16,063 --> 00:14:18,983
[reporter] Bae Dong-su of Ikseong
Accounting was arrested without a warrant
260
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:21,277
by the prosecutors' office this morning.
261
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,945
Bae Dong-su is known as the vault keeper
262
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:25,781
of Daejin Group's vice chairman,
Kang Sang-un.
263
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,909
Sources say he played a crucial role
in Kang's political lobbying
264
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:31,078
and in the formation
of his illegal slush fund.
265
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,163
[Yeon-sook] That is Bae Dong-su.
266
00:14:33,247 --> 00:14:36,709
He was the vault keeper who managed
Vice Chairman Kang's slush fund.
267
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:39,253
So he probably knows
where all the money went
268
00:14:39,336 --> 00:14:42,423
concerning Vice Chairman Kang's accounts.
269
00:14:42,506 --> 00:14:44,508
[unsettling music playing]
270
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:47,052
And Jang Hyeon-su?
271
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:49,972
In accordance to Article 148
of the Criminal Procedure Code,
272
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:51,599
I refuse to make a statement.
273
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:53,809
[Yeon-sook] He's exercising his right
to remain silent.
274
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,102
But not for long.
275
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,646
At some point, he will waver.
276
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:01,150
Will we be able to hold out…
277
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:04,486
before the president returns?
278
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,411
We have to find a way to make him talk.
279
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:16,206
[music fades]
280
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:18,584
[man] I'm sure Park Chang-sik knows
his ranks will crumble
281
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:20,336
if they investigate
the president's family.
282
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:22,296
Maybe he can convince
Park Dong-ho to just--
283
00:15:22,379 --> 00:15:24,673
Park Dong-ho cannot be convinced
284
00:15:25,382 --> 00:15:26,884
by anyone but himself.
285
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:28,677
[pensive music playing]
286
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:31,055
There is one person
who can stop him though.
287
00:15:32,848 --> 00:15:33,807
Only one.
288
00:15:34,391 --> 00:15:36,852
ARMED FORCES CAPITAL HOSPITAL
289
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,145
[monitor beeping]
290
00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:41,357
[Su-jin] I've heard
that stimulating the patient
291
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:44,026
can help speed up the process of recovery.
292
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:48,030
Shock therapy, I believe.
293
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:49,698
He has an underlying heart condition.
294
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:52,826
We received orders
to focus on a stable recovery.
295
00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:56,288
The order came from
Chief of Staff Choi Yeon-sook.
296
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,418
We also received orders
from the acting president.
297
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:05,547
He wants us to prioritize
the quality over the speed
298
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:07,007
as to prevent any more complic--
299
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,969
The course of treatment is usually
decided by the attending physician.
300
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:13,222
Is that not true?
301
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,765
It's a military hospital.
302
00:16:15,432 --> 00:16:18,018
Acting President Park is
who I take orders from.
303
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,657
[pensive music continues]
304
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:43,752
[Dong-ho] Jeong Su-jin promised
to cover up your son's dealings
305
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,296
if you collaborated
with Vice Chairman Kang.
306
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:50,509
She made that promise to you
over a year ago now.
307
00:16:51,885 --> 00:16:52,761
Did she keep it?
308
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:55,389
[sighs]
309
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,028
[Dong-ho] She probably also told you
that your son would be safe
310
00:17:09,111 --> 00:17:11,321
if you pressured Seo Gi-tae
to remain silent.
311
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,826
She made that promise to you
about half a year ago now.
312
00:17:17,244 --> 00:17:18,370
Did she keep that too?
313
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,923
I'm guessing she has made
yet another promise
314
00:17:30,007 --> 00:17:33,343
that your son will be released
without any charges if he remains
315
00:17:34,344 --> 00:17:36,388
silent before the prosecutors.
316
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:38,640
So I'm wondering…
317
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,519
how's that going for you?
318
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:51,528
Jeong Su-jin is on a sinking ship.
319
00:17:58,368 --> 00:18:00,996
So… what I'm offering here
320
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:06,043
is an opportunity for you
to jump ship while the offer stands.
321
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:08,087
[pensive music continues]
322
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:14,676
[phone buzzing]
323
00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:19,890
[Min-ho panting] Su-jin,
the prosecutors are here.
324
00:18:19,973 --> 00:18:21,475
[tense music playing]
325
00:18:21,558 --> 00:18:22,559
We locked the front doors,
326
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:25,104
but they brought the cops
and the fire department!
327
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:27,064
[banging at door]
328
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:31,819
I'm Prosecutor Lee Han-seung
of Seoul Central District.
329
00:18:31,902 --> 00:18:34,780
We will now conduct
a search and seizure on Namsan C&C.
330
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:38,742
Get rid of all the books and anything that
links us to Kang Sang-un's investment.
331
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,160
-Hurry, do it.
-It's too late.
332
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:42,246
-I should've changed the servers.
-[knocking at door]
333
00:18:42,329 --> 00:18:44,164
[Han-seung] Open the door, Mr. Han.
334
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,166
[Sang-un] It's funny,
Deputy Prime Minister.
335
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,669
Anytime I meet with you like this,
336
00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:51,004
I end up investing in your husband.
337
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:53,632
-Su-jin, what do I do now?
-[knocking at door]
338
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:56,093
But he's the one who tried
to assassinate the president.
339
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:58,137
That's a conspiracy against the state!
340
00:18:58,220 --> 00:19:00,180
It's critical we expose the truth.
341
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:02,266
We'll do that only if you
342
00:19:03,016 --> 00:19:05,185
expose the truth about yourself as well.
343
00:19:14,194 --> 00:19:16,613
[Dong-ho] I need your son
to testify how much money
344
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:19,324
he received in total
from Vice Chairman Kang
345
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:24,246
and how much he made in profits
after investing in Han Min-ho's equity,
346
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:26,623
as well as Jeong Su-jin's role
347
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:29,209
in covering up all of this.
348
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,925
[man] Acting President Park is meeting
with the First Lady as we speak.
349
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:39,219
He wants Jang Hyeon-su
to confess his crimes.
350
00:19:40,804 --> 00:19:42,764
Even if the president wakes up right now,
351
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,725
he can't save any of us anymore.
352
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:50,939
If he can't save any of us anymore…
353
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:53,525
-[music fades]
-[monitor beeping]
354
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,373
…then what if he never wakes up?
355
00:20:21,261 --> 00:20:23,263
[pensive music playing]
356
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:52,417
[music intensifies]
357
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,426
Park Dong-ho started this war…
358
00:21:04,513 --> 00:21:06,390
so I'm going to finish what he began.
359
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:11,770
[man] What are you going to do?
360
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:30,372
You shouldn't be here.
361
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,585
You better leave while you still can.
362
00:21:37,546 --> 00:21:39,339
[Jeong-mi] When the public
hears about this,
363
00:21:39,923 --> 00:21:41,591
they'll tear this whole country apart.
364
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:44,511
You've always cared more
about your family.
365
00:21:47,514 --> 00:21:48,515
Don't worry.
366
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:50,475
Your son will
367
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:53,186
receive a favorable judgment.
368
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:58,233
I know you're still a woman
of principles in the end.
369
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:00,235
How about you stick to that?
370
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:02,738
[stirring music playing]
371
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:11,496

[Il-jun gasps]
376
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:26,011
[Su-jin] I'm not going to
377
00:22:27,262 --> 00:22:28,513
apologize.
378
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:31,641
I won't do it because…
379
00:22:33,977 --> 00:22:37,022
I know that you would do the same
if you were in my shoes.
380
00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:38,899
[Il-jun gasping]
381
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:39,900
[Su-jin] But I…

00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:49,743
…I swear to you now…
386
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:55,707
I'll defend your honor,
387
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:58,502
and I'll protect your… [sobs]
388
00:22:59,586 --> 00:23:00,587
…family.
389

[inaudible]
391
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,884
[Su-jin] I will defend the flag that we…
392
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:09,346
30 YEARS AGO
393
00:23:09,429 --> 00:23:11,056
…hoisted up together…

[wistful music playing]
395
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:15,894

[Su-jin whimpers, cries]
411
00:24:18,874 --> 00:24:20,208
NOVEMBER 27, 2022, AT 15:20
412
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:23,211
DEMISE OF PRESIDENT JANG IL-JUN
OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA
413
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:50,155
Time of death, 3:20 p.m.
414
00:24:50,238 --> 00:24:52,657
Cause of death, acute respiratory failure.
415
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:56,036
I'll call for an emergency Cabinet meeting
to discuss the funeral.
416
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,538
Jeong Su-jin witnessed
his death, apparently.
417
00:24:58,622 --> 00:25:00,248
[Dong-ho] Where was the physician?
418
00:25:01,041 --> 00:25:02,501
I was told he wasn't there.
419
00:25:02,584 --> 00:25:05,003
He was attending the inauguration
of the new hospital director.
420
00:25:07,464 --> 00:25:08,298
[sighs frustratingly]
421
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:10,717
[Dong-ho] I should've known
422
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:13,553
Jeong Su-jin was capable
of taking it this far.
423
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:15,639
[somber music continues]
424
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,862
I prevented my arrest
by poisoning the president.
425
00:25:31,655 --> 00:25:32,989
I created that diversion.
426
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:35,075
But now,
427
00:25:36,826 --> 00:25:38,620
he's died before her arrest.
428
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:42,165
Is this truly a coincidence?
429
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:46,711
[exhales sharply]
430
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:50,632
[somber music continues]
431
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:13,113
[music fades]
432
00:26:17,284 --> 00:26:19,786
Since you left the room
and didn't alert the military police,
433
00:26:21,454 --> 00:26:24,916
that makes you an accessory
to the crime committed. I'm sure you know.
434
00:26:28,712 --> 00:26:31,464
So remember, if I fall,
you'll probably go down too.
435
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:35,010
Now listen to me.
436
00:26:39,347 --> 00:26:40,890
Don't be afraid, Man-gil.
437
00:26:45,854 --> 00:26:46,938
This is my burden.
438
00:26:48,189 --> 00:26:49,566
And my burden alone.
439
00:26:56,031 --> 00:26:57,115
Lots to do.
440
00:26:58,491 --> 00:26:59,618
Let's get to work.
441
00:27:00,118 --> 00:27:02,120
[pensive music playing]
442
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:05,415
[Su-jin] He survived
the tyranny of the Third Republic,
443
00:27:05,999 --> 00:27:08,376
and he survived
the oppression of the Fifth Republic.
444
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:13,089
Yet, this scrutiny on his family was
just a little too much for him to bear.
445
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:19,220
As soon as I mentioned the subpoena
his only son was about to face,
446
00:27:20,388 --> 00:27:21,931
suddenly, he had trouble breathing.
447
00:27:22,015 --> 00:27:24,017
Are you saying
that this unreasonable investigation
448
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:25,226
caused him to die?
449
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:31,358
I direct this question
toward Acting President Park.
450
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:35,070
Are you happy now
that you've insulted a modern-day hero
451
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:38,365
and trampled on his family's legacy,
driving him to his unfortunate death?
452
00:27:38,948 --> 00:27:40,200
[sighs]
453
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:43,203
This is a warning for Lee Jang-seok
from Seoul's Central District.
454
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:47,999
The prosecution must end
this unjust investigation immediately.
455
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:51,002
This was judicial murder.
President Jang wouldn't have died
456
00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:54,714
if it weren't for the self-serving forces,
including the prosecution!
457
00:27:54,798 --> 00:27:56,716
This is all just
a complete witch hunt gone awry!
458
00:27:57,425 --> 00:28:00,136
[reporter] Did the president leave
any last words for the people?
459
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:02,305
He wished for reform.
460
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:05,642
The power of the people
towards a new prosecution.
461
00:28:06,142 --> 00:28:08,228
PRESIDENT'S LAST WISH,
PEOPLE TO ACCOMPLISH REFORM
462
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:11,106
He also apologized for…
463
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:14,109
[camera shutters clicking]
464
00:28:18,863 --> 00:28:19,906
…leaving such a
465
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:23,368
difficult task for the people.
466
00:28:27,330 --> 00:28:28,331
[music fades]
467
00:28:29,499 --> 00:28:31,876
[reporter 1] Acting President Park
held a Cabinet meeting
468
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,171
to discuss the national funeral plans
for the late President Jang Il-jun.
469
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:37,590
After a five-day funeral,
the late president will be buried
470
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:40,844
at the Presidential Cemetery
located inside Seoul National Cemetery.
471
00:28:40,927 --> 00:28:43,054
[reporter 2] President Jang
was a human rights lawyer
472
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:45,140
who stood with the workers
and ordinary citizens.
473
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:48,560
He was the second person in our country
to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
474
00:28:48,643 --> 00:28:52,230
[reporter 1] It's been two days since
the passing of President Jang Il-jun.
475
00:28:52,313 --> 00:28:56,151
It is estimated over a million mourners
have visited memorial altars
476
00:28:56,234 --> 00:28:58,778
at over a hundred locations
across the country.
477
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:01,698
Even today,
countless civilians are still lining up
478
00:29:01,781 --> 00:29:03,908
to mourn the late President Jang Il-jun.
479
00:29:03,992 --> 00:29:05,994
[somber music playing]
480
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:21,926
[crying]
481
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:23,595
[music fades]
482
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:29,434
He's really gone. I can't believe it.
483
00:29:32,395 --> 00:29:33,229
[sniffles]
484
00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:39,194
[unsettling music playing]
485
00:30:08,598 --> 00:30:10,225
So you want to start a war?
486
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:12,393
I have no choice.
487
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:16,731
I can't stand by and watch you…
destroy the future of this country.
488
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:24,572
I've been informed you've been at this
memorial altar for two days straight.
489
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:27,075
I'm guessing you want everyone to see
490
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:29,828
you're the rightful successor
to President Jang.
491
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,998
A funeral is the best kind
of political event there is.
492
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:36,668
Emperor Gojong's funeral
led to the March 1st Movement.
493
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:40,129
Emperor Sunjong's funeral
led to the June 10th Movement.
494
00:30:43,216 --> 00:30:44,801
President Jang was great.
495
00:30:44,884 --> 00:30:47,428
-[monitor beeping]
-Park Dong-ho started this war.
496
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:48,680
[water drops echo]
497
00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:51,432
So I'm going to finish what he began.
498
00:30:53,476 --> 00:30:55,228
He's leaving behind a great legacy.
499
00:30:59,607 --> 00:31:01,860
Koreans are known
to be sentimental in politics.
500
00:31:02,902 --> 00:31:05,822
So you're planning to manipulate
their emotions to gain their favor.
501
00:31:05,905 --> 00:31:07,448
[Su-jin] "Et tu, Brute?"
502
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:17,375
It wasn't Antonius who seized power
after the assassination of Caesar.
503
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:18,376
It was Augustus.
504
00:31:19,836 --> 00:31:21,421
The people chose him.
505
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:27,260
With that logic,
it was also the people's choice
506
00:31:27,343 --> 00:31:28,511
to put Hitler in power.
507
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:32,181
But I won't let that happen in Korea.
508
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:39,772
Acting President Park will serve
as the executive director of the funeral.
509
00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:42,609
He will also oversee all funeral expenses.
510
00:31:42,692 --> 00:31:44,527
[cameras clicking]
511
00:31:44,611 --> 00:31:47,739
Are you going to cease the investigation
into the president's family?
512
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:53,536
The investigation is a separate matter.
513
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:55,288
[man] What is she talking about?
514
00:31:55,371 --> 00:31:59,042
Therefore, the investigation will resume
once the funeral is over.
515
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:00,293
This is unbelievable.
516
00:32:00,376 --> 00:32:03,004
[Yeon-sook] This reflects
Acting President Park's conviction
517
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:05,548
that all must be held
equal before the law.
518
00:32:05,632 --> 00:32:07,258
-What is this?
-Why is she doing this?
519
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:08,843
She doesn't care about him at all.
520
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:10,678

00:43:20,472 --> 00:43:23,475
Jeong Su-jin's ratings
are over 60% in the polls.
698
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:25,227
Your ratings are 6%.
699
00:43:25,811 --> 00:43:27,104
Do you think you can win?
700
00:43:29,815 --> 00:43:31,400
I can't win the presidency alone.
701
00:43:37,072 --> 00:43:38,657
[dramatic music intensifies]
702
00:43:43,454 --> 00:43:46,498
Since the moment you asked me
to help turn the world around,
703
00:43:46,582 --> 00:43:49,668
there hasn't been a day
you've been alone, Mr. President.
704
00:43:52,755 --> 00:43:55,924
I will crush any darkness
left in our country
705
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:57,885
and bring corruption to a complete end.
706
00:43:59,178 --> 00:44:01,263
I will become
a beacon of light and of hope.
707
00:44:02,181 --> 00:44:03,182
So I've chosen
708
00:44:04,516 --> 00:44:06,268
to officially vacate the Blue House.
709
00:44:08,479 --> 00:44:10,939
But I will return,
and I will do it as president…
710
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:14,276
elected by the people…
711
00:44:17,946 --> 00:44:18,906
no matter what.
712
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:20,991
[dramatic music subsides]
713
00:44:23,994 --> 00:44:27,414
THE WHIRLWIND
714
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,042
[closing theme music playing]
715
00:46:54,478 --> 00:46:56,438
[music fades]
