[March 8th 20:00 Impeachment Bill Introduced]

If I don't stop here, there will be victims again.

And I'm going to ask myself every time...

'Will I still walk this path?'

My answer is always going to be the same.

I will not give up.

Because I am the President who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws.

I cannot back out.

Until I get this done, I must stay as the President.

Will you protect me until then?

First time on the field? This is my 13th year.

But it's the same for me.

I'm just as nervous as you are.

Especially on a day like today.

Let's get started!

When will this finally be over?

[December 2012] When was the Secret Service team assembled?

The Secret Service of the Blue House arrived at President Elect Lee's place.

As soon as the election was announced, the same type of security measures were given.

[Episode 8]

You came later than I thought.

Congratulations.

We are the Secret Service that will accompany you until your term ends.

He looks young. How long has it been since he joined the service?

He's a recruit, but he is talented.

I heard that the agents can die in place of the President.

But he is too young to die for me.

I can, sir.

You're the first President that I will be serving.

I will protect you no matter what happens.

I'm Chief Officer, Ham Bong Soo.

Agent Kim Ah Joo.

Agent Kim Hyo Sung.

Agent Han Tae Kyung.

I thought I had it all then.

I was mistaken that I could change the world.

I have nothing left now.

The Assembly, prosecutors, or the police.

I can't even trust anyone in the Blue House.

The only person I can trust is you, Agent Han.

I only have the title of President but there is something I must accomplish.

Will you protect me until then?

I...

I don't know.

Everything was so concrete in the past.

But now...

I'm not so confident anymore.

I can't stay with the service like this.

I think this is as far as I go.

It's not just one.

The NIS data Minister Han was investigating.

The army data that Colonel Yang and General Kim were working on.

The source of the money sent to North Korea that Kim Woo Hyung sought out.

The collection of the confidential documents from each area.

They make up Confidential 98, which your father had.

He died while trying to get that to the Special Prosecutor and me.

For 16 years, your father had fought alone.

He told me the truth and he recruited others who shared his goal.

He never gave up for a second.

The biggest reason he did that was to become a proud father to his son.

Even if you can't trust me...

do not question your father's true intention.

The Special Prosecutor's report is true.

It's not important who the President is.

He was chosen by the people.

What? Do you want to sit there?

Not at all.

What brings you here?

Secretary of Civil Affairs and Secretary of State...

And all the other cabinet members and staff, 35 in total, have resigned.

Other staff members are worried.

What about you?

Why are you not resigning?

I'm going to be with you until the end.

We started together. We will end together.

The Prime Minister will be back from China.

Do you have a message for him?

I will go to him then.

As the impeachment bill is about to be passed

Prime Minister Lee is coming back from his visit in China.

Prime Minister!

The impeachment bill has been introduced.

Did you know about the President's history?

How about the thing I asked for?

I did it as you ordered, sir.

This is a secret between you and me.

I know, sir.

What was the Blue House doing until this happened?

We couldn't do anything.

How do you mean?

The Special Prosecutor's report is true.

Is that true?

You will need to get ready to inaugurate.

The fate of Korea lies on your shoulders.

The Blue House will try its best to cooperate.

And there's someone who'd like to see you before that.

What's going to happen to Chief Ham's funeral?

He doesn't even have a family member to get his body.

President Ham tried to kill the President.

He even shot people from the service.

But it's still sad. He's not even married.

His only family was the service.

So what? He should be buried in the national cemetery for that?

It was just one mistake.

He was never shaken for his whole life.

- It was just one mistake. - Are you regretting it?

If that happens again, you will have to pull the trigger again.

- Or you should leave this agency. - Yes.

That's why I'm leaving.

Hey, Tae Kyung.

What's wrong Tae Kyung?

[Resignation]

Turn this in for me.

Are you really quitting?

Chief Ham made only one mistake, but it was the kind he should have never made.

Do not be shaken. This isn't like you.

What would you have done?

If I were the one to make the mistake and to point the gun at the President...

And you were behind me.

And you had shot me.

What would you have done?

The agent should protect the President. He or she cannot be shaken...

Or have any other thoughts.

But I'm a human being with emotions and a heart.

I don't think I can ever kill again in order to protect someone.

So I need to leave.

I heard from Jung.

Sorry, it's my fault.

It's not decided yet.

I'm going to prove that my actions were justified at the committee.

Do you need the report about my father's accident for it?

Did you go to the funeral?

I did too.

I went to three funerals.

General Kim Ki Beom.

Fund manager Kim Woo Hyung.

Colonel Yang Dae Ho.

I met their families to see if I could find any evidence for my defense.

So did you get anything?

No.

It wasn't my defense that was important.

I want to reveal the truth.

Everything started with your father's accident.

If we start there, we can find evidence on why these people had to die.

Officer Yoon.

I'm just a country police officer.

But I want to do the best I can.

[Resignation]

[Yangjinri Data]

[Report]

[Password]

The password to my father's file must be the date of the incident, 01-06-1998.

[Confidential 98 - Han Ki Joon]

On February of 1998, a special force came down from North Korea...

And killed 24 people including civilians.

19 people were injured.

I'd like to report the dirty business tied up to this.

The people behind Yangjinri incident were high-ranking officials and the wealthy.

They had contacted North Korea with Falcon behind their backs on January, 1998.

It was after the unofficial North and South Korea economic talks.

Please.

There should be our mutual interest.

Please take this.

We need to help each other.

The North Korean participant on that day was General Hwang Kyung Joon.

And Major Lee Chul Kyu.

Shall we start the real talk?

I will ask straight-forwardly.

So we just need to make a trip with a submarine?

A boat trip won't buy people's interest.

I will also ask straight-forwardly.

What's your price for a submarine and the lives of more than 10 soldiers?

I will give you a 10 million dollar deposit. 90 million after you get it done.

100 million dollars in total.

This was all testified by Major Lee Chul Kyu.

But currently, I have no evidence to back this up.

Are you saying that this is true?

Yes.

The Special Prosecutor made the indictment.

A subpoena has been issued.

That means...

He will be the first President to face trial while in office.

Korea is in danger right now.

People are worried.

The only person that can handle the crisis is you, Prime Minister.

I'm only succeeding to uphold the Constitution.

But during that time, you will be the most powerful man in Korea.

I want to be of small help to you as someone in the private sector.

For this country.

He's a number two to his bones.

Meticulous but with small mettle.

His own safety concerns him the most. He can switch boats any time.

Which is why you need to support him well.

The day is near.

Just use him until then.

Someone asked me to hand this to you, Mr. Kim Do Jin.

[North-South Economic Cooperation Talk]

Major Lee Chul Kyu was the first person to tell me the truth.

[1998, Nanjing, China] Asylum?

There is going to be a purge.

The only person I can trust in South Korea is you.

I will get the important intelligence in return.

Wait.

Give me some time.

I have no time.

What is this?

[North's provocation in Yangjinri]

Remember the 100 million dollars you gave to me?

The subsidies for food?

You still believe in those lies?

That was a deposit.

What do you mean?

The price for the lives lost here.

Then?

That's impossible.

It was food subsidies.

It was the South Korean government crooks and the yanks working on a scheme.

It was a deal to make a weapons trade worth billions of dollars.

I will contact you in a month.

I will bring you the evidence to prove it.

Finish my asylum process until then.

Say it again.

You're lying!

Answer me! Is it a lie?

Why can't you answer me? Answer me! It's a lie!

- Answer me! - Dad!

What did you say? What did you just say?

- Dad! Stop! - It's a lie!

Right?

Dad! Stop!

Stop.

I lost contact with Major Lee after that day.

I tried to find out if he was still alive through North Korean organizations.

Eventually I found out that Major Lee was executed after the major purge of 1998.

[Call records]

Major Lee Chul Kyu?

How would I know him?

I'm just a restaurant owner.

What's the sentence for North Korean refugee brokers?

You're just...

What do you want?

Go back quietly.

You know the late Minister Han Ki Joon, right?

I have his investigation reports about you.

- You know Minister Han? - Yes.

Are you sure that Major Lee was executed?

There were rumors of him being executed from the purge.

Is there anyone in the South who knew him?

A relative or a friend.

Han Ki Joon asked the exact same question.

I am Han Ki Joon.

Do you know this person?

His name is Lee Chul Kyu.

As far as I know, there is no one.

Yes, this is Han Tae Kyung.

Agent Han. Did your father know anyone in Incheon?

Incheon?

Why all of the sudden?

What? Where?

So I'm at...

Yoon Bo Won was here.

Someone sent me this picture.

[1998 North-South Economic Cooperation Talk]

Who sent this?

It was an unofficial talk that no one knew about.

Guess who?

He asked this person.

You're Major Lee Chul Kyu!

How is he...

Didn't you tell me back then?

He was purged and executed. That he can never talk!

He's clean.

The first person to come up with this idea was Minister Han.

You called me in the same way.

You said that even the Blue House was not safe.

'99 - emergency.'

'061000 - six in the morning.'

'5578 - Cheongju station drop off zone.'

What was so urgent that you called me here?

I met Major Lee Chul Kyu of North Korea.

Major Lee is dead.

We've confirmed many times through our networks in the North.

No, he is alive.

He is alive and is in South Korea.

You can achieve your goals by using him.

I issued an espionage alert for Lee Chul Kyu. I also sent agents.

He is likely to be in Incheon after smuggling himself in.

Why did he send this to me?

He knows that revealing his identity will be dangerous.

He probably wants money.

He didn't come empty handed. He has something to negotiate with.

That's why he called me.

Which is why we have to kill him quietly.

Lee Chul Kyu was an elite spy even in the North.

He is full of experience and quick.

He can get us back.

We need to find out what he has or knows.

Before killing him.

Why did you change your mind?

Why did you start again?

Someone told me.

That she wants to reveal the truth.

Only bad things happened to her because of this.

She's not responsible for any of this, but she still wants to reveal the truth.

After listening to her, I realized what was really important.

Which is why I'm doing the same.

Agent Han Tae Kyung.

I need to ask you one more question.

Do you believe your colleagues in Secret Service?

How do you mean?

Is Agent Lee Cha Young trustworthy?

Yes.

She is a trustworthy colleague and a friend.

Why do you ask?

Just... I wanted to know what you thought.

Then.

Take care of yourself.

[Briefing regarding the new cabinet members]

[President Security Committee Regulation Report]

[Rain shower]

- Chief of Staff. - Later.

It's urgent. The President called for a special press conference.

Special press conference?

Press conference?

He wants sympathy.

I will call the press and have them show no mercy.

It's not the press conference.

He scheduled it without consulting his PR team.

What about the speech? What is he announcing?

He didn't tell us anything.

He wrote it himself.

What's going on?

We were only notified.

Where is the press conference location? The usual places?

No.

The VIP wants to hold a press conference outside of the Blue House.

Outside?

The Presidential press conference is generally held in the Blue House.

But...

Why would he hold a press conference outside?

What happened? Did you find Lee Chul Kyu?

Yes sir, I found him.

He was staying at an inn.

But he had left before we got there.

And?

- You lost him? - More importantly, there's something else.

According to the inn owner, someone had visited Lee Chul Kyu before he left.

I asked about the appearance and showed a picture.

They were Han Tae Kyung and the female officer.

Then he left with them?

The circumstances tell me so.

Lee Chul Kyu went to see the President.

[Shin Gyu Jin]

The Secret Service and the President are planning something.

What do you mean?

I found call signs on a report.

They are like passwords used by the Secret Service.

Minister Han and Colonel Yang contacted the President in that way.

I've seen the call sign sheet.

And? What were they talking about?

'09000 3595 Rain shower.'

'09000' is time. 9:00 AM.

'35' is press.

'95' is contact.

It means press conference.

And?

What does rain shower mean?

Guest.

It means there's a guest at the press conference.

What? Is something wrong?

A North Korean refugee or an unidentified person can never enter the Blue House.

What are you talking about?

That's why they are holding it outside.

Because they have someone that cannot enter the Blue House.

No way.

Yes, Lee Dong Hee is going to have Lee Chul Kyu speak.

Lee Chul Kyu.

Stop him.

Breaking news, President Lee is going to hold a special press conference.

What will the President say after his long silence?

Korea is waiting for his voice.

It's me. I need the details of the Secret Service's movements.

How Lee Dong Hee moves is not important.

Find out how Lee Chul Kyu will enter the conference.

The Secret Service log is highly classified.

It's impossible except for the participating agents.

Nothing is impossible.

If Lee Chul Kyu speaks even Kwon's will is going to be a lie.

You don't want the reinvestigation as much as I don't.

Lee Chul Kyu is not in sight.

Nothing wrong?

West Gate secure.

You cover there.

[Press Conference (Secret Service Plan)]

[Drop-off zone]

Hurry up sir.

The Secret Service will be here after the meeting.

As you already know...

The Secret Service plan cannot be disclosed.

I understand.

This is a secret between us two.

- Yes? - I have the Secret Service's plan.

I know Lee Chul Kyu's route.

Let's go.

There was another drop-off zone other than the President's.

It's level B-5. Officials' parking lot.

- Everything okay? - Yes sir.

He will be moved in Vehicle 5198.

Where is Agent Han Tae Kyung?

The agents will meet them at the underground parking lot.

Are they here?

No, they are not here yet.

What should we do? Should we cancel it?

No.

Start the press conference.

The President of the Republic of Korea.

My fellow Koreans. This is President Lee Dong Hee.

Long time no see, Major Lee Chul Kyu.

The press conference must have started.

I wonder what he's going to talk about without you.

The Special Prosecutor's report on March 6th...

is not true.

Are you denying the results?

Are you not related to Yangjinri incident?

Do you have solid evidence to deny it?

You can use him to achieve your goals.

Use him?

The people you deal with are the people who run Korea.

They have no sense of justice and are ruthless.

You must be careful.

You mean I need perfectly solid evidence that no one can deny?

Yes.

In order to get that evidence, we need the help from you and the Secret Service.

Yes, I have evidence.

- What is it? - Can you tell us?

[President Lee's Special Press Conference]

You sent a picture to me.

Didn't you want to make a deal?

I'm a businessman.

You made me move all the way here.

Surely it's worth my trouble?

What evidence? Evidence that you manipulated the Yangjinri incident?

Your testimony alone cannot prove that.

Who's going to listen to a North Korean refugee?

I will give you a new identity and five million dollars.

Give me what you have.

What you say is true.

A testimony of a North Korean refugee will not be enough.

Unless we have something else.

That's why I became a decoy.

To be more exact, it's not a piece of evidence.

It's a witness.

Supporting evidence to Lee Chul Kyu's testimony.

We needed another live witness.

[March 9th 09:18 13 hours 18 minutes after Impeachment Bill]

Subtitles by DramaFever

It's written here on this document that

you're the one behind the Yangjinri incident.

Do you have solid evidence to back that up?

The Secret Service has become the President's personal guards.

Han Tae Kyung has become a murderer.

Stop the investigation.

You still believe the President?

Chairman Kim is planning something again.

Another Yangjinri incident.

More people will die.

Remember, the blood will be on you.
