TEMPEST

[♪ "Have Yourself a Merry Little
Christmas" continues playing]

We couldn't stop
this war after all.

For one last time…

I want you to pretend…

This is just an ordinary day.

[siren wailing in distance]

[♪ Serious music plays]

[Munju] If this were
just an ordinary day…

And we were just an
ordinary man and woman…

I would be asking you…

"Who are you really?"

Why did you come to me?

Would you really

take a bullet for me?

And why…

"Why do I see you in my dreams?"

[♪ Dramatic music plays]

[Sanho] I've never been
afraid of anything…

Until I felt the fear…

Of something happening to you.

[people screaming]

I was scared you'd get hurt

and I wouldn't be there in time.

That's why, even in my
dreams, I held on to you.

I was afraid I'd
lose you there too,

when I had nothing
left in this world.

[pants]

Honestly, I really don't
care about the war.

I only want to run
away with you, Munju.

Let's go.

You mean that?

I mean it.

Let's escape together.

[panting]

[♪ Tense music plays]

Where were you
thinking of taking us?

How about the Gobi Desert?

The Gobi Desert?

I spent two years
there, after defecting.

[♪ Calm music plays]

I had a lot I needed to forget.

My father, my mother, and my
grandmother who told me to never return.

I looked at the
stars moving slowly.

And, as always, one
star remained unchanged.

Polaris.

Whenever I looked up at the sky,

it felt like nothing else
existed, just me and that star.

It didn't matter that I
had no family, no homeland.

I felt like I could
go anywhere I wanted.

Could I join you there?

Do you have something
that you wanna forget?

My Mother's hands.

Rough and worn, from years of
working at the grocery store,

a factory, and a nail salon.

She'd come home exhausted and
immediately collapse into bed.

I wanted to protect those hands.

In the end, I failed to do that.

So that's why you came to Korea?

After my dad died,

my mother ran as far as she
could and ended up in the States.

I thought that we all
belong to a country,

the way we all have a mother.

And for me, that
country was Korea.

That's why I thought
it was important

that I eventually came
back to serve in office.

That's why you wanted so
badly to stop the war?

As much as I wanted to
protect my mom's hands.

And once again, I failed.

[North Korean anchor] Brimming with the
hopes of this great people's republic,

the newest nuclear submarine has
been revealed in all its splendor

in time for tomorrow's
historic launching ceremony.

The nuclear submarine,

which for decades had been a symbol
of aggression against our republic,

has now come to symbolize
the power of our people,

-that speaks directly to the hearts…
-That's the submarine we're trying to hit?

-That's the submarine we're trying to hit?
-This is a momentous and joyful event.

Jesus Christ.

It's an entirely different vessel
from what we'd anticipated.

This submarine is a
3,000-ton Romeo class model,

heavily modified from
an old Russian design.

That hull won't be able to withstand
the pressure of a missile launch.

They've installed the missile deck
behind the bridge for no obvious reason.

From a design perspective, this submarine
offers no functional effectiveness.

[♪ Tense music plays]

Late last night, a reckless
U.S. reconnaissance airplane

trespassing in our
territory was shot down.

Let this be a warning.

We are a nuclear-armed state, and our
military does not make empty threats.

The kind of world you wake
up to tomorrow is up to you.

That Anderson video is
spreading like wildfire.

Are you really going to
start a war over a submarine?

[stammers] We'll look into the submarine,
but that's not what's important right now.

This war is a struggle between
democracy and despotism.

So if we back down now, we
are surrendering our future

to this string of dictatorships
from China to Russia to Idisha,

all the way to North Korea.

[Hauser] I'm afraid we have a
little problem, Madam President.

Indeed, Mr. President. [sighs]

In the present situation,

it would be difficult for
me to persuade our people

to endure the sacrifice of war.

Let's set aside the
recon jet incident.

The timing wasn't right
for us to retaliate.

We'll find another way.

As I've mentioned before,
this is our last chance.

If we lose this opportunity,

the free world will be in peril.

I'm going to do everything
I can from over here,

but I'll also need you
to do something for me.

Seo Munju, your
former ambassador.

She has been, uh,
quite a nuisance.

I'd thank you to
take care of her.

At 11:51 p.m. last night,

a U.S. reconnaissance
aircraft on a routine mission

to survey the Korean peninsula,

was shot down when North Korean ground
forces launched a surface-to-air missile.

In response, our military had
issued a Level Two defense alert,

and the CFC has now elevated
WATCHCON to its second highest level.

In prompt response, the Civil
Defense Alert Control Center

issued a preliminary warning,
which has now been lifted.

Our government and military remain
unwavering in our steadfast commitment

to protecting the lives and safety of
our people under any circumstances.

We ask all citizens to stand firm with
the same courage and unwavering trust,

and to return to
their daily lives.

In times of crisis like this…

-Luckily, the true crisis was averted.
-…national unity matters the most…

-So it wasn't a complete failure.
-…and we must protect one another.

-Yeah, but this is just the beginning.
-The Republic of Korea

will neither retreat nor falter,
no matter the circumstances.

[Hauser] Seo Munju,
your former ambassador.

She has been, uh,
quite a nuisance.

I'd thank you to
take care of her.

[sighs]

I understand, Mr. President.

She will no longer be an issue.

PRESIDENT CHAE URGES CITIZENS
TO RETURN TO DAILY LIFE

President Chae still
has serious concerns.

None of this is over yet.

PRESIDENTIAL REPORT

WAR IMMINENT ON
KOREAN PENINSULA?

TENSIONS MOUNT, IS WAR NEXT?

The media responses
to your speech, ma'am.

NO TRUST IN KOREAN
OR US PRESIDENT

SEO MUNJU DEEMED TRUSTWORTHY

IF NOT FOR HER, WAR
WOULD'VE ERUPTED

[sighs]

SEO'S STATEMENT DRAWS ATTENTION…

IS SHE THE ONLY
VOICE PEOPLE TRUST?

[sighs]

They're mostly saying
we can't be trusted.

And Seo Munju became
their Joan of Arc.

North Korea unveiling
that submarine,

is now proof that
Anderson's claims were true.

So now the people seem to believe
that averting war was Munju's doing.

If we run a poll now, her
ratings would be off the charts.

[♪ Dark music plays]

In all your years in politics,

have you ever had to manage
a crisis as bad as this?

No, I have not, ma'am.

It's tricky, isn't it?

Even with the support
of the entire nation,

this would be
difficult to navigate.

And yet,

Munju has turned public
opinion against me, hasn't she?

Should I accept that from her?

Absolutely not.

War starts with public opinion.

To win a war against North
Korea, Madam President,

Seo Munju is the first
of many obstacles.

We have prepared for this
situation for some time now.

You say there are plans.

For Munju, is that
what you mean?

If you give me some
time, I can explain.

[footsteps approaching]

[secretary] It's
been ten minutes.

Today the President
made a public statement

regarding North Korea's downing
of an American aircraft.

-President Chae stated that…
-[phone rings]

…the nationwide warning issued
last night has now been lifted.

She also assured that the government
and military will stand firm,

and uphold their duty to protect
the safety of the citizens

under any circumstances…

Miji?

[Miji] Ms. Seo, Changhee
is finally awake.

He's okay?

Changhee, how are you doing?

They released him from the
ICU to a private suite.

Luckily, they fixed the
internal bleeding in surgery.

Seriously, I'm fine.

Listen,

there's something
you need to know.

On that morning

when the password
was finally cracked,

I unlocked the phone thinking that I'd
finally gotten in to his secure emails,

but instead…

Yes! [sighs]

I noticed unread
messages on his Telegram.

SEP 7

INCOMING CALL 11 P.M. TOMORROW

[North Korean military officer] Now,
we award the highest honor given

in the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea,

-The Order of Kim Il Sung!
-This is the state's founding anniversary.

"77TH FOUNDING
ANNIVERSARY OF DPRK"

Comrade Jang Junik!

-[applause]
-[♪ dark music plays]

Comrade Jang Junik has devoted his life
to stopping the vile and treacherous war

by the traitors and imperialists,
and to reunifying our nation.

He leaves behind a most heroic legacy,
that will go down in our history.

Though today we are unable to
pin this medal on your uniform,

when the day of
reunification comes,

you shall return without hesitation
to claim this great honor.

[applause]

He really was a spy.

I just couldn't
believe it was true.

So I tried to find out who
sent the message to him.

This is Assemblyman Jang Junik's
chief secretary, Park Changhee.

He confided in me that he had
intentions to prevent the war.

Could we meet?

[phone buzzes]

BAENGNYEONSAN BOOKSTORE,
SEOMGWANGRO 24

HYORIM-DONG,
SEODAEMUN-GU, AT 10:00

To meet at Hyorim-dong,

you'd pass through
Seomgwang Tunnel, right?

They must have
ambushed him there.

We were in Hyorim-dong that
day at Kang Hanna's house.

[Miji] Kang Hanna?

Well, who's that?

-[Eunseong] Look at these, Grandma!
-[Hwarim] Oh!

[laughs]

-Oh! Let me see.
-[sighs]

I've pictured this
moment, Mother.

-[Hwarim] That's so pretty.
-Ever since the moment I met Junik.

-I dreamed of living in this house.
-[Hwarim] How lovely!

-That's lovely.
-I knew my dreams would come true.

I mean, I had Eunseong.

I'm used to always
getting what I want.

-[Eunseong] Here, grandma!
-Now all that's missing

is Junik to complete
the picture.

A house, a son, and a husband.

You're lucky.

The one you don't have
is the least important.

[chuckles]

Ah…

Mother, why did you bring
Eunseong to your room last night?

I couldn't get back to sleep
after the siren woke me up.

And I've always slept better
with the children next to me.

[♪ Serious music plays]

[Sanho] I think
there's a good chance

Stella Young and Kang
Hanna are the same person.

What do you mean?

All the countries where that
arms dealer's been seen.

[Anderson] Somebody who imported
structural steel plates from Poland,

precision sensors from Switzerland,
and engineers from Sweden.

Kang Hanna and her son

were in those places.

[Eunseong] Malmö, Sweden,
in 2022, when I was six.

I have a lot more.

I've traveled around a lot.

Katowice, Poland.
Lausanne, Switzerland.

If Kang Hanna is the
same as Stella Young,

do you think she killed Junik?

Changhee, do you have the Telegram
ID of the person who sent the video?

Yeah, one second.

Number is

010-6133-8758.

I found this in one of
Father Yang's bibles.

[Munju] That's the
card Sergeant Kim had.

[Miji] I saw a photo of a card
with this number on his phone.

The photo…

SEND

[phone chimes]

Junik had the exact same card.

Oh, look! You're doing so
good honey, you're a natural.

That's it. Very good.

[♪ Tense music plays]

I really admire you, Mother.

[Hanna chuckles]

You raised Junik.

All your heart went into it,
even though he wasn't your own.

[chuckles]

I mean, I gave birth to Eunseong
and I can barely handle him.

So someone said
something to you?

Grandmother told me.

She told me Junik was born
out of wedlock as well,

so Eunseong should never be
made to feel different either.

Before Junik died, do
you think he knew that?

I'm guessing not.

Grandmother said you worked really
hard to keep the truth from him.

I had to make a choice.

The first time I held him
as a newborn, I decided…

He'd be my son for
as long as he lived.

Which is exactly how it went.

[Munju] That day…

[♪ Melancholic music plays]

The day Junik was killed.

He was about to
tell me something.

What's going on?

Why won't you just tell me?

Why don't we talk tonight?

To be honest, it's a long story.

[Munju] He was going
to explain it to me.

Why did Junik
become a spy, Sanho?

If the submarine isn't real,

then China and North
Korea are just puppets.

And some third party is the
one pulling the strings.

If becoming a spy is the
only way to learn the truth,

then I think I'd
become one, too.

[Sanho sighs]

You have to draw the line here.

If your husband
was a spy or not,

whether Kang Hanna
killed him or not,

that'll remain between them.

Or you'll be sucked into this
whirlpool before you realize it.

You need to get out to survive.

Right now, Munju.

Your only option is to leave.

[phone ringing]

Hi, Miji.

[Miji] Where are you right now?

Why?

You gotta get out.

The whole house is bugged.

[automated voice] Shocking news. Where
is presidential candidate Seo Munju?

And what is she doing with her
handsome North Korean bodyguard?

Seo Munju, the widow of Assemblyman
Jang, hired Paik Sanho to protect her.

They first met at the place where
her husband was shot and killed.

Beginning a relationship in secret,
they started living together.

But who could blame
a lonely widow

for falling in love with
her dashing bodyguard?

However, according to a
recent tip we received,

her bodyguard, Paik Sanho,
is from North Korea.

Was it really a coincidence that
he became Seo Munju's bodyguard?

Who was really benefiting from her
exposure of the North Korean submarine?

What if Ambassador Seo is
being used by North Korea?

The two of them are
together as we speak.

Seo Munju and Paik Sanho are currently
staying in a secluded hideout.

We have obtained a recording of a
private conversation from last night.

[Sanho] Honestly, I don't
really care about the war.

I only want to run
away with you, Munju.

[Munju] Let's go.

[Sanho] You mean that?

[Munju] I mean it.

Let's escape together.

[heavy breathing
through speakers]

[♪ Tense music plays]

[heavy breathing continues
through speakers]

[chuckles]

[heavy breathing continues
through speakers]

Get media responses.

I want to know what they're saying
about Ms. Seo every three hours.

And look into all of our legal avenues
against this Freedom Lab channel.

[♪ Tense music plays]

[rattling]

That's enough.

[Sanho sighs] There's
no bugs in here.

I don't regret
anything that happened.

[♪ Calm music plays]

I was happy.

If nobody wants me here anymore,

I can just leave.

If this is how it ends,

it's fine.

Let's go.

I can get you outta here.

There's a ship that's
leaving tonight.

-[♪ Tense music plays]
-[thunder rumbling]

[phone buzzes]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Munju] Are you going somewhere?

I'll come back soon. Just
pack up and wait for a while.

Where are you going?

I'll explain it to you later.

I'll go with you.

You're safer waiting here.

You can have a gun and
know how to shoot it,

but it's different when it
comes to killing someone.

In war, the one who shoots their enemy
first is the one who gets to go home.

You understand what
I'm saying, right?

I'll be back soon.

SEO MUNJU SCANDAL ESCALATES

'SEO MUNJU SHOCK'
SENDS KOSPI DOWN 2.94%…

WILL SEO FALL AFTER
HER METEORIC RISE?

ENJOYING A SECRET RENDEZVOUS

A MONTH AFTER HER
HUSBAND'S DEATH…

[sighs]

Honey! Oh my God.

Okseon, did you hear?

I thought she was an innocent
lamb, but she's a filthy whore!

Oh, my poor Junik.

-I'm sure he's spinning in his grave.
-Yeah, I hear you, Mother.

Can we do this later, though?
I have a phone call to make.

-[line rings]
-[gasps, sighs]

[door closes]

Director, I need
to speak to you.

[Munju] Let's go.

[Sanho] You mean that?

[Munju] I mean it.

Let's escape together.

[metal clanks]

[volume increases]

[metal clanks]

[♪ Serious music plays]

[clanks]

Nowadays, these advanced
programs and hardware

allow a greater range
of transmission.

It's also battery-free, so
it can be used indefinitely.

This one's been
upgraded a fair amount,

compared to the one you gave
to the Japanese ambassador.

[engineer] The recordings
are automatically backed up

real-time to the cloud,

so even if it gets damaged,
the files are safe.

[Munju] Let's go.

[Sanho] You mean that?

[Munju] I mean it.

Let's escape together.

[♪ Tense music plays]

[sighs]

[screams]

There was another bug.

How many did you plant?

What are you talking about?

We agreed on a wiretap to monitor
her, and then you broke it.

And that's all we got.

Now get off of me!

[grunting, straining]

[grunts, groans]

[Ethan chokes]

-[groans]
-How did you know I was going to Mongolia?

[Ethan groans]

-Talk!
-[scrams]

Who else would listen
and release those files?

[Ethan groans]

Drop your weapon.

Paik Sanho, you're under
arrest for espionage.

Keeping busy?

-Rounding up innocent men for espionage?
-[footsteps approaching]

[Unhak] No.

You're a real spy.

We're well aware Kim
Hansang hired you.

[panting]

-Let's go.
-[Ethan groans]

You don't realize that the entity
paying you through Valkyrie is a bank

based out of Macau,
Cheonil Credit.

It's a North Korean state-bank used
for their foreign weapons purchases.

Every financial transaction is
personally signed for by Kim Hansang.

[inhales deeply]

In other words, you're
merely a North Korean pawn

hired to eliminate
the Ambassador.

Now, tell me,

was it also your plan to make her
fall in love with you? [laughs]

All thanks to you, Seo Munju has
fallen completely from grace.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[grunts]

By the way, your grandmother

wanted you to have this.

You said you would come get
her, but then you never did.

That poor woman was so worried.

She's with our people now.

I told her you'd come for her,

once you're finished
with your work.

You assholes…

I'm giving you a
second chance here.

A ship is leaving Pyeongtaek
Port tomorrow night.

You and Seo Munju were
escaping to Mongolia, right?

Before that ship can
cross the maritime border,

our coast guard will seize it.

You'll be presumed
to have escaped,

jumping into the
sea during the raid

while Seo Munju

is caught as a spy,
defecting to the North.

But you could take your grandmother,
and go wherever you want.

[agent grunts]

Good.

You're making the
right decision.

[Sanho groans]

[breathing heavily]

[clacks]

[static]

[♪ Heavy music plays]

[agent sighs] Get
him outta here.

[Munju] Who are you, really?

[Ethan] We agreed on a
wire tap to monitor her!

[Munju] Why did you come to me?

[Unhak] Was it also your plan to make
her fall in love with you? [laughs]

All thanks to you, Seo Munju has
fallen completely from grace.

-[bone cracks]
-[screams]

[screams]

-[door opens]
-[automated voice] Ground floor.

[Munju] "Don't trust the
people closest to you."

"Always have an escape plan."

"Never go back to Korea."

[grunts]

[groans]

[Sanho] Munju!

Munju!

[groans]

Munju!

Where are you?

Munju!

[Munju] "Never go
back to Korea."

Dear Mom…

I always remembered
what you told me.

I remembered because I
wanted to prove you wrong.

[gasps, grunts]

[bird chirps]

[♪ Calm music plays]

[sighs]

[Munju] But I trusted him.

[sighs]

I really thought he
had come to save me.

-I was a fool.
-[sobs]

I was a fool.

[sobbing]

What do I do now?

I have nowhere left to go.
