00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:15,306
Mr. Kang, please. Did you know…
3
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:18,309
[reporter] Daejin Group's vice-chairman,
Kang Sang-un's arrest warrant
4
00:00:18,393 --> 00:00:19,519
has been dismissed,
5
00:00:19,602 --> 00:00:22,981
making it difficult for the prosecution
to investigate Daejin's slush fund.
6
00:00:23,064 --> 00:00:25,900
The prosecution has been
investigating overseas tax havens
7
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:28,278
and disguised subsidiary companies.
8
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:31,573
I'll request another arrest warrant.
Apart from the tax havens, there are--
9
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:34,075
We're being transferred, Mr. Park.
10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,869
He was sent to the office in Wonju.
11
00:00:35,952 --> 00:00:37,746
As for me… [laughs]
12
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,957
…I'm off to training
to organize textbooks.
13
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:43,251
[Sang-un] I would like to thank the court
14
00:00:43,334 --> 00:00:45,253
for putting a stop
to this unfair investigation.
15
00:00:45,336 --> 00:00:48,256
[reporter] Is there anything
you'd like to say to the investigators?
16
00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:51,551
I would like to say,
"I hope you learned a lot."
17
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:52,594
"Please be well."
18
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,679
[unsettling music playing]

00:00:56,389 --> 00:01:00,560

[nail clippers clicking]
21
00:01:02,145 --> 00:01:05,607

who they can catch.

-[nail clippers click]

23
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:10,612
I'll transfer you
somewhere quiet for a few years.
24
00:01:10,695 --> 00:01:12,030
Learn a new hobby.
25
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:16,076
You covered up this case so you'd get
promoted to Deputy Chief Prosecutor.
26
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:20,038
And while you're there,
learn some manners.
27
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:21,498
What I'm learning, Mr. Lee,
28
00:01:22,123 --> 00:01:24,626
is that it takes power
to even throw the trash out.
29
00:01:26,711 --> 00:01:28,713

00:01:32,842 --> 00:01:34,719
You wanna keep your job, don't you?
32
00:01:35,553 --> 00:01:36,971
Better watch your words.
33
00:01:37,472 --> 00:01:38,515
Climb the ladder,
34
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:40,767
see how far you get.
35
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:44,854
No matter where you go, just know
36
00:01:46,147 --> 00:01:47,649
I'll always be one step ahead.
37
00:01:48,858 --> 00:01:50,568
[Jung-gwon chuckles]
38
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,947
[Jung-gwon laughs]
39
00:01:57,659 --> 00:01:58,868
Go ahead.
40
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:00,954
Laugh while you still can.
41
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:04,541

[Il-jun] Oh, Prosecutor Park Dong-ho!

[laughs]
47
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:38,575
Tell me, what took you so long
to get from Seocho-dong to Yeouido?
48
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:39,993
-Hmm? [laughs]
-[chuckles]
49
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:41,536
Have a seat.
50
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:43,496
Mm. [exhales sharply]
51
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:48,084
[Dong-ho] I ended up
resigning from my post.
52
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:50,587
I didn't finish
the Daejin Group investigation.
53
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:54,090
Mr. Jang, can you help me
find a new position here?
54
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:58,636
I've got the perfect position
for you, actually.
55
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:03,016
Give me a little bit of time.
I'll get you something good.
56
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:06,227
Once I'm in the Assembly,
I'll resume the investigation.
57
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:10,398
Corruption must be eradicated at all cost.
It needs to be rooted out completely.
58
00:03:10,481 --> 00:03:12,650
The economists wouldn't be happy.
59
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,110
[Il-jun] Mm. [chuckles]
60
00:03:14,736 --> 00:03:16,529
If they want to get to you,
61
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,532
they will have to
go through me first, okay?
62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,577
A few of the Assembly members
still have ties to Daejin.
63
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:27,415
[moans] Before Yun Bong-gil
threw that bomb in Hong-gu Park,
64
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:29,709
he switched wristwatches with Kim Gu.
65
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:33,546
It symbolized their time together,
honoring their past
66
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,715
and forging a new future together.
67
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:43,723
Whatever you choose to do from now on,
68
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:45,808
I'll be there right beside you.
69
00:03:47,644 --> 00:03:50,271
[pensive music playing]
70
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:06,621
[Il-jun] Hmm.
71
00:04:07,372 --> 00:04:09,374
[Il-jun laughing]
72
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:16,256
My goodness, I wish I could
make the day go by faster, huh?
73
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:19,008
And skip to the celebratory drinks, right?
74
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,385
[Il-jun laughing]
75
00:04:20,468 --> 00:04:21,719
Oh! Right. Wait a second.
76
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:27,267
Would you mind
taking a picture of the two of us?
77
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:28,393
[Su-jin] Yes, sir.
78
00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:29,644
[Il-jun laughs]
79
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,897
[Su-jin] One, two, three.

ONCE AGAIN,
THE KOREAN LIBERAL PARTY
81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,901
[reporter] With only a day left
until the candidate declaration,
82
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,320
candidate Park Dong-ho
is facing growing discord
83
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:41,572
with members of the Korean Liberal Party.
84
00:04:42,323 --> 00:04:44,784
The New Conservative Party's candidate,
Jo Sang-cheon,
85
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:47,120
submitted his declaration of candidacy
this morning
86
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:48,913
at the National Election
Commission building.
87
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:51,249
The Korean Liberal Party's candidate,
Park Dong-ho,
88
00:04:51,332 --> 00:04:53,001
hasn't declared himself
as a candidate yet,
89
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:54,961
despite the controversy surrounding--
90
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:01,968
The party leader is refusing
to sign your declaration of candidacy.
91
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,471
The Assembly meeting
is happening right now.
92
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,393
[unsettling music playing]
93
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:14,230
[man] We will proceed with the vote
regarding Park Dong-ho's withdrawal.
94
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:16,774
Please rise if you are in agreement.
95
00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:18,109

98
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:37,003
[reporter] The deadline
for candidate declaration is tomorrow.
99
00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:39,839
Do you think you'll have enough time
to replace the current candidate?
100
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:42,258
We shouldn't give up
just because our time is short.
101
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,594
Replacing an elected candidate
because of low ratings
102
00:05:44,677 --> 00:05:46,220
is viewed as an outdated practice.
103
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:47,597
Is that the only reason?
104
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:52,810
During the primary election,
we believe there were shameful dealings.
105
00:05:54,103 --> 00:05:57,231
Let me direct this question
to candidate Park Dong-ho.
106
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,483
Did you win
107
00:05:59,650 --> 00:06:03,029
the election by fair methods only,
or was your campaign dishonest?
108
00:06:03,112 --> 00:06:05,114

[phone buzzing]
131
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:06,652
[Man-gil] I have news.
Park Dong-ho has disappeared.
132
00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:09,071
[pensive music playing]
133
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,073
No one knows where he's been
since yesterday.
134
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:14,243
The party's counselors went to his house
to pressure him to drop from the race,
135
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:15,161
but he wasn't there.
136
00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:18,498
-What about the campaign committee?
-He just submitted campaign pamphlets.
137
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:21,542
So it doesn't look like
he's planning to step down at all.
138
00:08:24,128 --> 00:08:26,839
[Su-jin] The difference
in approval rating is over 20%.
139
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:29,967
He simply cannot win the election.
140
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:36,390
If it's a worthwhile battle,
then why give up now, hmm?
141
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:38,518
Because the odds are not on your side.
142
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:40,978
[Su-jin] The National Committee
is meeting to vote,
143
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:44,357
and as soon his withdrawal is announced,
I will be elected as the new candidate
144
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:46,275
as the primary's runner-up.
145
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,444
So my documents are all ready to go.
146
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,988
Will you win with Jeong Su-jin
147
00:08:51,572 --> 00:08:53,074
or lose with Park Dong-ho?
148
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:56,202
It's not that hard of a choice.
149
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:01,666
Jo Sang-cheon must not win this election.
150
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:03,584
I'm sure we can agree to that.
151
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:07,380
I do agree, yes.
152
00:09:09,131 --> 00:09:10,091
Except,
153
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:11,926
I was wondering…
154
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:16,556
did you laugh or did you cry
155
00:09:17,765 --> 00:09:19,267
when you killed President Jang?
156
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,310
[music subsides]
157
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:24,355
You're a cold-blooded murderer
158
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:27,149
who managed to escape
the prosecution's claws.
159
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:31,529
[music fades]
160
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:38,828
[breathes shakily]
161
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,330
I'll give you the right to nominate
162
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:44,166
a governor for Gyonggi-do as well as
163
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,460
mayors for both Seoul and Incheon.
164
00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:49,672
Who are you to promise anything
when your own past…
165
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:52,967
proves otherwise?
166
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,510
[Su-jin] I can't believe this.
167
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:57,179
[laughs]
168
00:09:57,972 --> 00:09:59,557
Yet you trust someone like
169
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:01,892
Park Dong-ho instead of me?
170
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:07,064
Do you know
171
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:08,899
what Park Dong-ho did?
172
00:10:10,651 --> 00:10:12,862
What he tried to do
to President Jang Il-jun?
173
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:14,405
Do you have any idea?
174
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:15,698
[breathing shakily]
175
00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:18,034
[pen beeps]
176
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:20,661
[Dong-ho] I was the one who tried
to assassinate the president.
177
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:23,205
[Yeon-sook] What? Prime Minister Park!
178
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:24,123
[pen beeps]
179
00:10:24,206 --> 00:10:25,583
[pensive music playing]
180
00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:28,753
He confessed to me his attempt
to assassinate the president,
181
00:10:28,836 --> 00:10:30,087
then gave me this.
182
00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:33,924
That's why I trust him.
183
00:10:35,676 --> 00:10:39,305
The deadline for declaration of candidacy
is due by the end of this afternoon,
184
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:42,016
and candidate Park Dong-ho,
from the Korean Liberal Party,
185
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:43,184
has yet to declare himself.
186
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:46,479
The Korean Liberal Party has called for
a meeting to replace their candidate.
187
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:49,857
They only have four hours to decide,
or they'll face an unprecedented challenge
188
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:52,401
in the history
of Korea's presidential candidates.
189
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:57,948
Thank you so much.
190
00:10:58,032 --> 00:10:59,450
We appreciate it.
191
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:10,753
[Dong-ho tuts]
192
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:12,755
Nine years ago,
193
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:15,966
President Jang and I were drinking here
194
00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:17,968
early into the morning
195
00:11:19,553 --> 00:11:21,472
after he lost his first election.
196
00:11:22,598 --> 00:11:25,267
We drank more than ten bottles,
and we barely ate.
197
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:30,398
That man was really crazy about his soju.
198
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:34,402
Four years ago,
199
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:36,904
when President Jang was elected,
200
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:39,323
we all thought and hoped that
201
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:42,243
the world would finally get better.
202
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,912
[pensive music playing]
203
00:11:44,995 --> 00:11:46,956
[Dong-ho] I'd like you
to step down from your position.
204
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:50,251
I can't stand by and watch you destroy
the future of this country.

-[Il-jun gasps]

206
00:11:52,586 --> 00:11:54,505
[Jeong-yeon] I wonder
what would've happened if
207
00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:56,424
we didn't say anything
to Jeong Su-jin that day.
208
00:11:56,507 --> 00:11:58,801
[Dong-ho] The president's son,
Jang Hyeon-su,
209
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:01,762
profited exponentially
by joining the private equity fund.
210
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:02,805
I don't know who,
211
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:06,100
but someone connected
Kang Sang-un to President Jang.
212
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,185
We have to find out who it was.
213
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,483
Has anyone
214
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:17,486
reported this information?
215
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,157
I shouldn't have trusted
Jeong Su-jin's history.
216
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,577
…accused of receiving a large sum of money
from the CEO of a cryptocur--

00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:26,662
[stirring music playing]
218
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:29,832
This is political revenge.
219
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:32,126
Someone's trying to keep you away
from looking into this.
220
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:33,627
Gi-tae, listen.
221
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:36,088
Jeong Su-jin can help you
investigate along with the Ministry.
222
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,424
They'll find the owner of the PE fund.
Just keep doing--
223
00:12:38,507 --> 00:12:40,092
[Gi-tae] I checked with the prosecutors.
224
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:43,304
Apparently, the mastermind
that's behind all of this,
225
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:46,182
the person that's trying to shut me up,
226
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:48,142
is Jeong Su-jin.
227
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:50,394
[Dong-ho] I should've known.
228
00:12:52,855 --> 00:12:54,774
It's not the world that changes.
229
00:12:54,857 --> 00:12:56,942
What changes are the people who run it.
230
00:12:57,526 --> 00:12:58,903
[Dong-ho sighs in frustration]

[rousing music playing]
232
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:02,239
I believed in you, damn it.
233
00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:04,283
The people believe in Jang Il-jun.
234
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,702
They also believe
his administration to be good.
235
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,246
There was no other way.
236
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:13,667
I have to protect the president.

[Dong-ho sighs]
238
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:16,837
[Dong-ho] A fair country.
239
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:20,049
A just world.
240
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,886
The ones who swore
they'd turn this world around
241
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,222
turned it into a living hell.
242
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:30,226
Jeong-yeon,
243
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:33,395
never trust someone
who makes many promises,
244
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:35,523
especially about the future.
245
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:38,359
They're just trying to own and control it.

[music fades]

[breathes deeply]
249

Well, that's because
I've given up on my future.

[pensive music playing]
251
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:56,335
I know in the very end,
I won't be a part of
252
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,421
the new world I am trying to create.
253
00:14:06,887 --> 00:14:09,473
We've confirmed
Park Dong-ho's whereabouts. He's…

[intriguing music playing]

quit smoking during the rev--

The deadline to submit is 5:00 p.m.

You do know
if your candidacy isn't declared--
262
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,125
I know. That's why I'm here.
263
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,085
I have all the time in the world.
264
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:43,299
[Yeon-sook] We haven't
done this in a while,
265
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,593
so I thought I'd treat all of you today.
266
00:14:45,676 --> 00:14:47,052
Excuse me.
267
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:49,054
But the committee meeting is soon.

00:14:49,138 --> 00:14:51,348
-We'll take the full course meal.
-Of course.
269
00:14:52,766 --> 00:14:55,477
It should take about
two hours for us to eat.
270
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:57,479
If we don't show up,
271
00:14:57,563 --> 00:15:00,149
they won't be able to continue the meeting
272
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:02,359
because there won't be enough members.
273
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,362
[sighs] I mean no disrespect.
274
00:15:05,446 --> 00:15:06,697
[stirring music playing]
275
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:09,116
However, you all share
something in common, I believe.
276
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,622
You all hope to be reelected again
277
00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:16,457
and need nominations to do so.
278
00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:19,251
So how about we decide
279
00:15:19,335 --> 00:15:21,420
how we should all move forward together?
280
00:15:25,132 --> 00:15:26,592
Please enjoy the company.
281
00:15:27,176 --> 00:15:28,218
When this is done,
282
00:15:29,553 --> 00:15:33,682
we will have become
valuable connections to one another.
283
00:15:39,396 --> 00:15:41,941
You know, I can't win this election
without your assistance.

355
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:24,746
She's seen as President Jang's successor,
so his supporters will follow.
356
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,999
Don't worry. She'll help us.
357
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:30,544
My victory in this election
is a nightmare for Jeong Su-jin.
358
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:33,714
But a Jo Sang-cheon victory
is a living hell.
359
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:37,551
GRAVE OF PRESIDENT JANG IL-JUN
360
00:19:37,634 --> 00:19:39,428
[somber music playing]
361
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:43,599
20 DAYS TO THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
OFFICIAL START OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
362
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:10,417
[somber music fades]
363
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:12,127
[unsettling music playing]
364
00:20:14,713 --> 00:20:18,383
He's worn this watch since you both joined
the National Assembly ten years ago.
365
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:21,053
His time might have come to an end, but
366
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:23,305
I'm glad to know
367
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:26,808
someone else will continue
in his footsteps.
368
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:29,102
[dramatic music playing]
369
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:31,563
[Il-jun] It symbolized
their time together,
370
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:35,984
honoring the past…
and forging a new future together.
371
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,527
[dramatic music continues]
372
00:20:56,129 --> 00:20:58,131
Corruption must be eradicated at all cost.
373
00:20:58,215 --> 00:20:59,925
It needs to be rooted out completely.
374
00:21:00,008 --> 00:21:02,386
[Dong-ho] I will never forget
the vision that he had
375
00:21:02,886 --> 00:21:05,555
ten years ago when he put on this watch.
376
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,766
[dramatic music continues]
377
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,403
[Su-jin] You are winning
the hearts of his supporters.
378
00:21:19,903 --> 00:21:21,571
Visiting his grave with the First Lady
379
00:21:21,655 --> 00:21:24,491
was a good way to make them see
you as his rightful successor.
380
00:21:25,701 --> 00:21:28,620
That watch has great significance.
381
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:31,999
I think it's best
if I manage his schedule from now on.
382
00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:34,793
We need to win over all his supporters.
383
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:37,963
You'll need to visit his birthplace,
attend a ceremony for his center,
384
00:21:38,046 --> 00:21:40,716
and give a memorial address
for the 49th day of his funeral.
385
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,301
We have to do anything and everything
386
00:21:42,384 --> 00:21:45,387
to make sure we win over
as many of his supporters as possible.
387
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:49,891
So wear the watch at every event
and at every public outing, okay?
388
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:52,227
It will reinforce their belief
in your succession.
389
00:21:54,604 --> 00:21:55,814
We have to win.
390
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:06,283
Yesterday, at trial, they're pursuing
the maximum sentence for me.
391
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:08,452
I have to appeal to the Supreme Court!
392
00:22:08,535 --> 00:22:11,913
It'll take more than a year if you
appeal to the Supreme Court, clearly.
393
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:15,000
And nothing's gonna change
in the second trial.
394
00:22:15,083 --> 00:22:16,543
Nothing you can do about it.
395
00:22:16,626 --> 00:22:17,669
Father, I did it for you--
396
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:21,340
This happened because you tried to control
the president in getting me a pardon.
397
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:22,716
Now I'll do things my way.
398
00:22:24,259 --> 00:22:25,135
Father--
399
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:27,637
The son makes a mess,
and the father cleans it.
400
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:30,265
[tablet chimes]
401
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,933
[shuddering]
402
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:36,313
[inhales sharply]
403
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:39,274
I've heard about the plan.
Oh, Sang-jin, listen.
404
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:42,110
Make sure you take good care of her, okay?
405
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:43,278
[Sang-jin] Of course.
406
00:22:44,738 --> 00:22:47,032
KANG SANG-JIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DAEJIN GROUP
407
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:49,785
[sniffing]
408
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:51,995
I don't think I can save Daejin Group
409
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,831
and, at the same time,
save your son Kang Sang-un.
410
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:57,376
-If it comes down to--
-[silverware clatters]
411
00:23:01,797 --> 00:23:03,340
I have three sons
412
00:23:03,423 --> 00:23:05,175
but only one company.
413
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:10,555
Save what I only have one of.
414
00:23:17,604 --> 00:23:19,689
-[slurps]
-Mm.
415
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:21,775
[stirring music playing]
416
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:26,029
[engine roaring]
417
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:30,075
NORTH KOREA SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHES ICBM
PACIFIC TARGET HIT
418
00:23:30,158 --> 00:23:33,662
[reporter] North Korea fired their first
intercontinental ballistic missile,
419
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:36,164
Hwasong-15, at 8:13 a.m. today.
420
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:39,000
The missile was able to
break through the atmosphere
421
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:42,838
and was successful at hitting its target
somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
422
00:23:43,505 --> 00:23:47,008
Are you sure you wanna use this whole
North Korea angle? It might be risky.
423
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,677
[stirring music continues]
424
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,180
Don't worry.
I'll be fine. I'm pretty sure.
425
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:54,349
Plus, I can handle the risk.
426
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:58,353
How about we take that missile and
427
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:03,024
turn it into Park Dong-ho's demise?
428
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,944
[Sang-cheon] Article 3 of the Inter-Korean
Summit Accord states…
429
00:24:06,027 --> 00:24:07,195
17 DAYS TO THE ELECTION
430
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:11,450
…that "both the North and the South
must cease any actions
431
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:14,327
that could harm the peace
and coexistence of our nations."
432
00:24:16,163 --> 00:24:17,122
We ceased
433
00:24:17,706 --> 00:24:20,959
our DMZ broadcasting
and brought an end to radio jamming.
434
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:23,712
We shrunk the military on our front lines.
435
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:26,047
But despite every measure that we took,
436
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:28,425
North Korea developed the ICBM
behind our backs.
437
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,344
North Korea is targeting
the United States.
438
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:35,015
President Jang Il-jun was known
for sending relief to North Korea.
439
00:24:35,098 --> 00:24:36,641
It was one of his best achievements.
440
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:39,436
He could lose more of Jang's followers.
441
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,606
But if he keeps providing aid,
he's going to lose the moderates.
442
00:24:44,774 --> 00:24:46,193
[tense music playing]
443
00:24:49,112 --> 00:24:50,739
During President Jang's administration,
444
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:53,742
it was agreed
the aid provided to North Korea
445
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:55,160
would be limited to medical--
446
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:57,829
Helping the enemy, are we?
And look where we are now!
447
00:24:57,913 --> 00:25:00,248
Yet, you keep giving them money?
448
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,168
To everyone watching this,
449
00:25:03,251 --> 00:25:05,754
we're in the middle of a crisis here.
450
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:08,089
You cannot elect this man as president.
451
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:11,218
We don't know where his loyalty is!
It's questionable!
452
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:13,678
[music intensifies]
453
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:16,765
[man 1] We can't elect someone
whose loyalty is questionable.
454
00:25:16,848 --> 00:25:18,975
37 YEARS AGO / BAR EXAM INTERVIEW ROOM
455
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:22,187
[man 1] Hmm, it says your father
was kidnapped by the North.
456
00:25:23,563 --> 00:25:26,525
"We were born into this land
with the historic mission
457
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:28,109
of reviving this nation!"
458
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:30,862
"It's time for our people
to reignite the spirit of Joseon
459
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:33,990
by developing
our own independence as a nation
460
00:25:34,074 --> 00:25:36,701
while making an effort
towards the welfare of all mankind!"
461
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:39,538
We're currently at a ceasefire,
as you know.
462
00:25:39,621 --> 00:25:43,166
But hundreds of thousands of soldiers
are pointing guns at the border.
463
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:46,294
Catch a commie if you don't wanna be
suspected of being one.
464
00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:47,879
Yes, sir.
465
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:50,298
[Sang-cheon] I caught
12 North Korean spies in my day,
466
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:52,300
and I stopped three insurrections.
467
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:53,843
I, Jo Sang-cheon,
468
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:58,431
have always dedicated my whole life
to the Republic of Korea.
469
00:25:58,515 --> 00:26:00,767
-[man 1] Get over here! Come on!
-[young Su-jin screaming]
470
00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:04,479
[muffled screaming]
471
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:07,440
[Sang-cheon] I will not be afraid
to speak my mind to the North.
472
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:10,652
On the contrary.
North Korea will learn to fear me!
473
00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:12,571
My fellow citizens,
474
00:26:12,654 --> 00:26:14,030
this election
475
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:15,574
there's only one choice!
476
00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:18,201
Me! Or the second Korean War!
477
00:26:18,285 --> 00:26:20,078
[tense music continues]
478
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:22,205

-[Su-jin gasps]

00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:25,166
[Su-jin breathing heavily]
480
00:26:27,836 --> 00:26:30,589
[reporter] After North Korea's
nuclear tests yesterday,
481
00:26:30,672 --> 00:26:34,259
the metropolitan Seoul area
experienced a 4.1 magnitude earthquake.
482
00:26:34,342 --> 00:26:37,178
Reports suggest they have developed
a lightweight nuclear weapon
483
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:39,347
capable of targeting and striking
484
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:42,475
any region in the Korean peninsula
within ten minutes.
485
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:46,021
-[crowd chanting] Jo Sang-cheon!
-North Korea can have its weapons,
486
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:50,942
but South Korea
has Jo Sang-cheon to fight and defend it!
487
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:52,652
[crowd cheering]
488
00:26:52,736 --> 00:26:55,947
If you elect me as your president,
489
00:26:56,031 --> 00:26:57,907
we will surely prevail!
490
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:00,577
[crowd cheering]
491
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:02,245
JO SANG-CHEON FOR NATIONAL SECURITY
492
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:05,457
[music fades]
493
00:27:06,499 --> 00:27:09,169
President Jang's administration
was extremely diplomatic.
494
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:12,422
Why would North Korea
do this during the elections?
495
00:27:12,505 --> 00:27:13,882
This makes no sense at all.
496
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,844
We can't make sense of it
because it's absurd.
497
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:22,682
[Jeong-yeon] We have to
change our campaign strategy.
498
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:26,144
At this current rate,
we'll never win this election.
499
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,480
[unsettling music playing]
500
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:30,148
[phone buzzing]
501
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:34,486
What do you want?
502
00:27:34,569 --> 00:27:36,363
National Intelligence
discovered something.
503
00:27:37,697 --> 00:27:38,990
I wanna talk it over.
504
00:27:41,868 --> 00:27:43,870
[unsettling music continues]
505
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:04,974
[music fades]
506
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:35,547
When I was dispatched
to National Intelligence,
507
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:37,090
I kept this with me.
508
00:28:38,758 --> 00:28:43,221
You see, my cousin has big dreams,
so I thought someday it could be of use.
509
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:46,808
It's for you.
510
00:28:47,976 --> 00:28:49,352
It's a present from your
511
00:28:50,353 --> 00:28:52,814
new senior secretary for civil affairs.
512
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:56,901
The senior secretary
513
00:28:57,610 --> 00:29:00,697
has the power to oversee
and even control the prosecution.
514
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,409
[Su-jin] He has a good grasp of things.
515
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,328
He knows what's important to look into
516
00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:09,497
and what not to.
517
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:12,709
I'm sure he'll turn a blind eye
to you and the PE fund.
518
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:14,711
Naturally.
519
00:29:14,794 --> 00:29:16,337
So, if anyone threatens you,
520
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:18,923
he'll go after them.
521
00:29:32,937 --> 00:29:33,980
[Man-gil clears throat]
522
00:29:34,856 --> 00:29:35,815
Here.
523
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:53,041
Yet another gift from you.
524
00:29:56,127 --> 00:29:58,129
[stirring music playing]
525
00:29:59,547 --> 00:30:01,382
Cutting you out of my life was
526
00:30:02,175 --> 00:30:04,886
more painful than I thought it'd be.
527
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:06,763
Jeong-yeon.
528
00:30:07,555 --> 00:30:09,641
Five years together is a long time.
529
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:17,315
Don't give me anything anymore, okay?
530
00:30:24,197 --> 00:30:25,615
I'll return all of your things.
531
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:28,034
[Su-jin] I've made sacrifices too.
532
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:31,371
It's only fair you do the same.
At least this once.
533
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,373
[Dong-ho sighs]
534
00:30:33,456 --> 00:30:36,042
If there's one thing
that I'll never be willing to sacrifice,
535
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:38,920
it's the possibility
of taking you to court.
536
00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:42,340
You're asking too much.
537
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,759
Jo Sang-cheon's father was kidnapped
538
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,553
by North Korea, where he remarried
539
00:30:46,636 --> 00:30:48,388
and eventually had another son.
540
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:49,597
No one knows this.
541
00:30:49,681 --> 00:30:51,307
[intriguing music playing]
542
00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:56,479
Jo Sang-cheon's brother
still lives in the North.
543
00:30:57,272 --> 00:30:58,857
Unfortunately, you're mistaken.
544
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:02,360
His half brother died in 1996
during the North Korean famine.
545
00:31:12,078 --> 00:31:14,497
[Su-jin] Also known as the Arduous March.
546
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:17,083
It's true, millions starved to death.
547
00:31:17,166 --> 00:31:18,042
Yet
548
00:31:18,918 --> 00:31:20,879
anybody who was lucky enough
549
00:31:20,962 --> 00:31:24,048
to have relatives here or elsewhere
had better odds.
550
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:28,553
Because they received money
from the outside.
551
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:32,390
Jo Sang-cheon sent money
552
00:31:33,349 --> 00:31:34,767
to North Korea?
553
00:31:41,858 --> 00:31:45,778
The key to the Blue House
is in my hands, candidate Park.
554
00:31:47,822 --> 00:31:50,533
A president always has many enemies.
555
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:55,121
If you can't get rid of them,
then simply rule over them.
556
00:31:57,665 --> 00:31:58,875
I am but a servant.
557

[intriguing music continues]
558
00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:09,469
[reporter] Today, candidate Jo Sang-cheon
held an emergency press conference,
559
00:32:09,552 --> 00:32:12,013
declaring that
if North Korea doesn't denuclearize,
560
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:14,057
then South Korea
will create nuclear weapons.
561
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:16,976
He also demanded
that candidate Park Dong-ho
562
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:19,020
clarify his stance
on the North Korea issue.
563
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:22,231
Candidate Jo Sang-cheon's bold stance
on national security
564
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:25,652
has led to a surge in his popularity
since the recent nuclear testing.
565
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:27,862
At this rate,
his victory would seem certain.
566
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:30,323

[Su-jin] The key to the Blue House
is in my hands, candidate Park.
572
00:33:11,197 --> 00:33:12,407
We have to win.
573
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,076
[Dong-ho] I have no choice.
574
00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:20,123
I can't stand by and watch you destroy
the future of this country.
575
00:33:20,206 --> 00:33:21,249
[sighs]
576
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:37,724
This is Park Dong-ho.

578
00:33:39,183 --> 00:33:40,643
I accept your deal.
579
00:33:41,936 --> 00:33:42,854
Now,
580
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:46,107

[rousing music continues]
584
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:12,050
I just heard
585
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:16,054
that you might have received something
in return for nominating Jeong Pil-gyu.
586
00:34:16,137 --> 00:34:17,305
Is that true?
587
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:21,350
[Dong-ho] I couldn't
turn the opportunity down.
588
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:25,688
I remember when President Jang first met
with Vice Chairman Kang Sang-un.
589
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:29,400
He said the same thing.
Couldn't turn the opportunity down.
590
00:34:35,615 --> 00:34:38,701
You know I won't stand to see you
just become another corrupt president.
591
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:40,828
So don't you forget
592
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:43,331
you only have one month before
593
00:34:44,290 --> 00:34:46,084
I hand over what is inside my safe.
594
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:57,220
[Sang-cheon]
The Jang Il-jun administration
595
00:34:57,303 --> 00:34:59,931
gave over 700 million won to the North,
596
00:35:00,014 --> 00:35:01,265
Almost a billion.
597
00:35:02,642 --> 00:35:04,227
If this man is elected,
598
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:06,521
how much do you think he'll give away?
599
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:09,065
Why is he so keen to help North Korea?
600
00:35:09,148 --> 00:35:11,317
Think about all the money
that could be going--
601
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,276
$5,000.
602
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,657
$5,000.
603
00:35:19,033 --> 00:35:21,494
September 17th, 1996.
604
00:35:21,577 --> 00:35:24,455
You went to the border of
China and North Korea to deliver
605
00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:25,832
5,000 American dollars.
606
00:35:27,416 --> 00:35:29,669
Your father,
who was kidnapped by North Korea,
607
00:35:29,752 --> 00:35:31,921
asked for your help
during the Arduous March.
608
00:35:32,004 --> 00:35:35,133
Through a broker, you were able to get
the money over to him, is that right?
609
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:40,346
Your father sent us a letter.
[sobs] He's desperate.
610
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:45,184
He doesn't have any food.
He's… he's starving.
611
00:35:45,768 --> 00:35:48,020
What are we going to do, Sang-cheon?
612
00:35:48,604 --> 00:35:49,939
[chuckles]
613
00:35:50,022 --> 00:35:52,775
Well, this is a presidential debate.
614
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:56,320
We're supposed to discuss policies
regarding the future of this country.
615
00:35:56,404 --> 00:35:57,780
All this chit-chat about personal--
616
00:35:57,864 --> 00:36:00,366
You cannot elect a president
whose loyalty is questionable.
617
00:36:00,449 --> 00:36:02,451
You cannot elect this man as president!
618
00:36:02,535 --> 00:36:05,246
We don't know where his loyalty is!
It's questionable!

on the border of China and North Korea?

00:36:34,358 --> 00:36:35,359
[Sang-cheon] Well…
628
00:36:45,995 --> 00:36:49,123
My father's been sick
for over a month now.
629
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:52,418
But I'm sure he'll recover soon
now that he'll be able to eat.
630
00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:53,753
Wait a minute.
631
00:36:55,421 --> 00:36:56,297
What's your name?
632
00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:58,216
Oh, I'm Jo Sang-min.
633
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:00,259
[Dong-ho] I'll ask again.
634
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:02,720
Who did you give $5,000 to on the border?
635
00:37:02,803 --> 00:37:05,014
I believe it was your half brother.

00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:17,443
Ah, I see.
638
00:37:17,526 --> 00:37:21,614
I just wanted my father to have
a warm meal after starving for weeks.
639
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:24,867
Why are you making a fuss
over a simple act of kindness?
640
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:26,285
My goodness.
641
00:37:26,994 --> 00:37:30,081
Seems like you won't care much
about your own family
642
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:32,083
if they were ever to starve.
643
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:33,000
Now's your chance.
644
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:35,378
There are missiles flying
over our heads right now.
645
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:37,255
Why even bring up my family?
646
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:39,632
Because families are what make up
the history of our people.
647
00:37:39,715 --> 00:37:42,009
They're performing
nuclear experiments up North!

everything we built to ashes!

[dramatic music playing]
714
00:41:29,737 --> 00:41:31,113
[Dong-ho] I solemnly swear
715
00:41:31,614 --> 00:41:36,160
to abide by the Constitution
in defending this country,
716

to work for the peaceful unification
of the homeland,
717
00:41:40,372 --> 00:41:43,584
to promote freedom

718
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:48,130
and to endeavor
to enrich our cultural heritage
719
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:52,092
as the president of the Republic of Korea.
720
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:55,095
[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]
722
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,783
Thank you for appointing
the senior secretaries ahead of time.

00:42:17,034 --> 00:42:19,245
For political affairs, Lee Cheol-min.
724

For personnel affairs,
Bae Jong-su, as per instructed.
725
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,375
And as for civil affairs…
726
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:27,211
A prosecutor under inspection
cannot work in the Blue House.
727
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:31,674
I'm Lee Han-yong
from the SPO's inspection department.
728
00:42:31,757 --> 00:42:35,261
We've got permission for an audit
by order of the Blue House.
729
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:38,514
What's going on?
730

[tense music playing]
731
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:42,059

-[music fades]
-[pen beeps]
736
00:43:25,227 --> 00:43:27,813
[Dong-ho] I was the one who tried
to assassinate the president.
737
00:43:27,896 --> 00:43:29,273
[stirring music playing]
738
00:43:29,356 --> 00:43:31,191
[Yeon-sook] What? Prime Minister Park!
739
00:43:31,692 --> 00:43:35,404
[Dong-ho] If I could, I would've
stopped his heart with my own two hands.
740
00:43:35,487 --> 00:43:36,447
[pen beeps]
741
00:43:44,705 --> 00:43:48,584
I want you to keep your promise
to appoint Deputy Chief Prosecutor Jeong
742
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:50,794
as senior secretary for civil affairs.
743
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:52,087
[stirring music continues]
744
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:53,547
How did--
745
00:43:54,214 --> 00:43:55,299
How did you get that?
746
00:43:58,927 --> 00:44:00,846
I learned of its existence thanks to her.
747
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:02,264
[pen beeps]
748
00:44:03,223 --> 00:44:06,185
He confessed to me his attempt
to assassinate the president,
749
00:44:06,268 --> 00:44:07,561
then gave me this.
750
00:44:10,731 --> 00:44:12,900
And then your watch told me where it was.
751
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:16,362
[Yeon-sook] You know I won't stand to see
you become another corrupt president.
752
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:17,738
So don't you forget,
753
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:22,076
you only have one month
before I hand over what is inside
754
00:44:22,951 --> 00:44:24,119
my safe.
755
00:44:25,954 --> 00:44:28,082
Thank you for refusing
to shake my hand yesterday.
756
00:44:30,042 --> 00:44:33,337
It told me where I stand with you
and what needed to be done, so I
757
00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:35,839
stole this from the safe.
758
00:44:35,923 --> 00:44:38,133
[beeping]
759
00:44:39,218 --> 00:44:41,804
[dramatic music playing]
760
00:44:50,020 --> 00:44:51,271
[Su-jin] I think…
761
00:44:53,732 --> 00:44:55,109
perhaps your time is…
762
00:44:55,192 --> 00:44:56,735
[watch ticking]
763
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:59,780
…coming to an end,
so enjoy it while you still can.
764
00:45:01,699 --> 00:45:03,033
What are you going to do now?
765
00:45:03,826 --> 00:45:05,077
Well, like I said,
766
00:45:05,828 --> 00:45:07,371
"If you can't get rid of your enemy…
767
00:45:07,454 --> 00:45:08,831
[music fades]
768
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:10,666
…then simply rule over them."
769
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:12,918
[dramatic music continues]
770
00:45:22,010 --> 00:45:23,679
[music swells]
771
00:45:23,762 --> 00:45:24,763
