ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL

All right, here we go!

Thank you, Na-gyeong.

I won't forget

what you did for Jae-min.

Han-mo, we're going to start over, right?

The bomber's accomplice is still in the Blue House.

I was given authority of the investigation

and I need your help.

I can't put

my family...

in danger again.

Sorry.

Jae-min!

It doesn't seem like Chief Jeong will join Agent Han.

Na-gyeong should be behind bars, not roaming the streets freely.

This acting President of ours couldn't care less about disrupting

the nation's law and order.

Secretary Cha and I made a bet.

He asked me to join your election campaign if your approval ratings

exceed Minister Oh's.

Will you really do that?

I hear that you'll be discussing

the Discrimination Act at the Cabinet meeting.

Once the bill is passed on to the National Assembly,

you'll get your wish,

but your approval ratings

will keep on declining.

Yesterday, those who were against the act

turned their back on you.

Tomorrow,

those who think that you're ignoring their opinions

will leave your side.

Are you so reckless that you don't realize

how crucial the polls are at this time

for the election

or are you just arrogant?

Is this bill

a desire and passion of yours,

or is it you being stubborn?

Whatever it may be,

there will be no scenario where I...

join your campaign.

Administrator Kim will need an extra copy, right?

-Sure. -Got it.

I was surprised.

I didn't think

you'd ever agree to President Park's decision to enact

the Discrimination Act.

I thought the voters' opinions were all that mattered to you.

Secretary Cha isn't a cold-blooded man who only cares about winning.

He's actually quite a softy and he's bad at basketball.

Darn.

Touching moments make him weak as well.

My speech on humanitarianism got to you, didn't it?

Seriously?

I never agreed to anything.

President Park

seems to be forgetting his position as a presidential candidate,

so what else can I do?

He'll have to learn first-hand

how grueling it is to bring back approval rates

that have already plummeted.

Then are you...

You're trying to tame him, aren't you?

We haven't begun any proper campaigns yet.

And there's still some time to fix this.

I take it back. He's as cold as it gets.

It happened just as you wanted it to.

The Discrimination Act

will be discussed in today's Cabinet meeting.

President Park

has yet to have a political mindset.

KIM'S TAILOR

I must meet the VIP.

Mr. Kim!

Have you already forgotten, General Eun?

You made a pledge from the very beginning.

"Never be curious about each other's identities.

Meeting the VIP

will only happen when the VIP requests it."

-But-- -You even know why.

It's to ensure the safety of you and all of us.

"All of us"?

That indicates there are other accomplices besides General Eun.

Just how many more are there?

Well, it's safe to assume that this Mr. Kim is the liaison.

Na-gyeong,

could Mr. Kim be Tae-ik?

What about the handwriting analysis?

We'll have the results soon.

Mr. Kim,

I know more than you think.

This isn't your average tailor shop.

You, a former spy of the South who was sent to the North,

aren't ironing clothes at this place

because of a belatedly discovered talent.

People who are rich enough

to afford suits at a place like this...

Well, this is the place

to meet those who have joined the operation

without having it seem suspicious by anyone.

There's no need to let us meet others in the operations,

and you've been controlling us

by relaying the VIP's messages to us.

And just like a tailor would have the clients' information,

you have ours as well.

It's the sole purpose of this tailor shop's existence.

For someone who knows that,

you seem to be

-quite adamant about meeting the VIP. -Don't be mistaken.

You're not the VIP.

I wish to hear from the VIP in person

whether I can be well-protected or not.

I'll relay your message,

but like always,

the decision will be the VIP's.

I'll trust you for now.

Just so you know, soldiers are quite naive.

All they do is follow orders

in the name of protecting their country.

Please tell that

to the VIP as well.

Will do.

KIM'S TAILOR

I have the handwriting analysis report.

After comparing

Myung Hae-joon's dying message to his written statement...

It doesn't say Tae-ik.

Tae-ik...

It's more like an L than a K.

Tae-il.

Not Tae-ik,

but Tae-il?

KIM'S TAILOR

DAY 34: THE OUTCOME EPISODE 14

Mr. President, it's time to head out

for the Cabinet meeting.

THE DISCRIMINATION ACT BILL

Do I look all right?

Yes, sir.

I see you chose to discuss the Discrimination Act.

I heard your speech requesting that I withdraw my proposal.

Do you believe that the citizens

will genuinely support the Discrimination Act?

What do you mean by that?

Due to ethnic background, disability, nationality, affiliation,

race, religion,

and even beliefs...

In every way,

people have found a way to discriminate against others.

It's how one can be at a slight advantage

in this dog-eat-dog world.

It's basic instinct.

-But humans-- -Because we're human,

we can never openly admit to it, though.

No one would dare say that they support discrimination.

It's why people

are using homosexuality as an excuse to voice their objections

by hiding behind the justification of religion and tradition.

Underneath our masks, we're selfish beings

who support discrimination and oppose equality.

That's the ugly face

of the power

that propels the world.

Do you really believe that?

Tomorrow,

I will announce my candidacy for President.

I'm joining the race.

Even though

you dream of a nation

that supports discrimination and is against equality?

Voters

tend to lean towards the person who advocates for them.

Don't you know that?

Mr. President,

you can never defeat me.

Hi, Minister Oh.

President Park is present.

MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

MAYOR OF SEOUL

CABINET MEETING ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION

Secretary Cha,

do you still think the same way?

You really think the people of Korea

oppose the Discrimination Act, and that

it won't help my approval ratings?

Yes.

Ask me 100 times if you want. My answer will still be the same.

It's a fact.

This will hurt you in the elections.

I...

disagree.

Let us begin the fourth Cabinet meeting.

MAYOR OF SEOUL

THE DISCRIMINATION ACT BILL

The next item on the agenda

is the Discrimination Act.

MAYOR OF SEOUL

MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

The Discrimination Act...

MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

Its legislation will be...

delegated to the next administration.

THE DISCRIMINATION ACT BILL

Is this your doing?

No.

That concludes the fourth Cabinet meeting.

Thank you all.

Good job today.

What happened? Why did he...

He chose to become a true presidential candidate,

just like Secretary Cha wanted.

Approval ratings can be quite scary, right?

I had no idea that President Park would fold his cards so easily.

Will you be all right?

President Park withdrew the proposal for the Discrimination Act.

He's the only person who has managed

to not move as you expected.

Maybe it's because he's not from Yeouido.

He keeps throwing curveballs instead.

So much for being called the club owner, right?

From the party's general meeting

to the conference meetings I have with

the Judiciary Committee and the HRC,

cancel everything regarding the Discrimination Act.

Yes, ma'am.

Were you preparing to truly pass the Discrimination Act?

I thought you proposed the idea to President

Park for a political reason,

but you were actually supportive of it?

Mr. Park.

Yes?

Can I leave the premises?

There's someone I need to see.

Yes, like that.

If you look at this, the first scene...

Director Noh, over there.

I read the article.

I knew it wouldn't be an easy choice.

You didn't have to come all this way. I don't hate you for--

For the first time,

I desperately have the urge to win the election.

I wish to make Korea a country

that doesn't have to think twice

about laws against discrimination.

I plan on winning the election.

When I truly run the office, the first order of business

will be the Discrimination Act.

I came here to promise you that.

But then...

you'll be faced with another reason to renounce it.

My girlfriend and I love each other more than anything,

but we can't be a family.

The law won't recognize us as one.

The Discrimination Act doesn't provide preferential treatment.

To people like us, we need that law

to become normal citizens.

Don't come to see me like this again as if you are doing me a favor.

You just failed to fully perform your duty.

But now,

you're telling me to lie,

to feign mercy

and generosity.

Minister Park,

you do not know politics.

"You may not know politics, but I'll let you argue policies."

It's what you promised me

that very day.

Then I'll make another one.

We agreed to renegotiate

the guidelines once again after 2021.

So when that time comes--

Until then,

our kids will grow up breathing this polluted air.

It's your mom.

How's the weather in New York?

I'm glad you're both doing well.

It's good to hear you sound happy.

That's enough for me.

Sure, you stay healthy as well.

KIM'S TAILOR

If what General Eun said is true,

there will be information on the bombers inside that tailor shop,

as well as any leads on Oh Yeong-seok.

We can hear inside the tailor shop even though General Eun isn't there.

This could be a trap. It's too dangerous to go in alone.

Oh Yeong-seok is declaring his candidacy tomorrow.

We must prove his involvement with the bombing

before he becomes a presidential candidate.

-Na-gyeong-- -Besides, I'm not alone.

I have you watching my back.

Before we have solid evidence,

it's safer to keep it on the down-low.

Deactivate the auto security system.

Be careful, Na-gyeong.

The security system has been deactivated.

Play the recording after General Eun left.

Just a second.

Run the vault keypad sound recording on our decryption program.

I just sent you the passcode.

Na-gyeong?

What's going on?

Answer me.

Na-gyeong?

Na-gyeong!

Damn it.

Check the security cameras in the vicinity.

Sure.

This is Na-gyeong's comm device.

Where could she have been taken?

Did you locate Agent Han?

When we arrived at the scene, she was gone as well as whoever took her.

We assume the bombers have taken her,

and we've started checking security cameras on nearby streets.

I'll keep you posted with any news I get.

Sir.

Mr. Kang.

Yes?

I don't want anyone else

to be a victim of the terror attack.

Please make sure of that.

Tell the VIP

that I want a face-to-face meeting.

I have lost

my trust in you.

Do you still lack faith?

Everything is going as the VIP planned.

The National Assembly Building bombing,

your miraculous survival,

and your approval ratings.

Do you really think that everything is going as planned?

Acting President Park and--

You do not need to worry about Agent Han Na-gyeong.

She won't be a nuisance anymore.

She will never say another word again.

Agent Han

is the lead investigator of the bombing

whom President Park gave full authority to.

If something happens to her--

Even so,

President Park won't be able to do anything about it.

She is currently

held up in a detention center right now

as an offender.

In 30 days,

you will become this nation's President.

Right now,

all you need to focus on is your candidacy announcement tomorrow,

Presidential Candidate Oh.

You listen to me.

Once I become President,

the VIP will not be able to do anything without going through me.

The VIP may have given me a chance to begin with,

but now I'm offering the VIP a chance in return.

Let the VIP know

that I must have a face-to-face meeting immediately.

After your announcement tomorrow,

I'll set up a meeting.

Lower it and fix it to the wall.

-And check the flags on both sides. -Okay.

Reporters, you can come in and set up your cameras.

There isn't much space, so put two on the right

-and leave one on the table. -Please come this way.

I marked the location. You'll be able to see it.

Please check the script we gave you as well.

Okay.

MIRACULOUS SURVIVOR OH YEONG-SEOK RUNS FOR PRESIDENT

My presidential campaign will officially begin this afternoon.

They'll appoint a secretary to me there.

You did a great job, Sang-min.

It was an honor.

You don't have to be so uptight with me now.

You're the only one who believes I'm a true soldier, sir.

Any news on Agent Han yet?

I'm sorry, sir.

I should do something.

Let's ask the police and prosecution to start an open investigation.

But President Park, Agent Han is--

I'll shoulder the political burden.

I've taken care of Agent Han

like you told me to.

It hasn't been that long since the bombing,

but how is everyone so relaxed?

If Agent Han was the target,

it could have been better to do it more quietly.

You...

seem to be doing some thinking nowadays.

You...

talk too much.

Minister Oh is announcing his presidential candidacy today.

I should at least send flowers.

People nowadays...

forget too easily.

When people are scared, they don't think about anything else.

We should show people that anything can happen anytime.

And to Minister Oh as well.

Na-gyeong, are you okay?

Where are you right now?

Na-gyeong.

What happened?

Minister Oh's press conference venue hasn't changed, right?

Why? Are you actually going to go there? In this state?

I need to use your phone.

Agent Han?

Are you safe?

I've called to report...

that I've secured evidence that Minister Oh is connected to the bombers.

SENDING FILE

Would you help us arrest Minister oh as a suspect

of the bombing?

May I have the attention of all the reporters in the room?

We will soon begin Minister Oh's press conference

to announce his presidential candidacy.

-What is going on? -He's late!

What's this?

Who are you?

Where is Minister Oh?

I'm not sure either.

You've gone through so much, Agent Han.

Thank you for returning safely.

I'm sorry.

I've failed...

to arrest Minister Oh.

Considering how he canceled the press conference and disappeared,

he must know by now that he's being investigated

for the bombing.

He has been banned from traveling overseas

and he is known to the public.

Even if he is on the run, arresting him is only a matter of time, sir.

If the truth is revealed,

our people will be in great shock.

The Blue House won't be free from criticism

for appointing him as Minister of National Defense.

It could be the opposite.

If you arrest Minister Oh during your term

and reveal at least a part of the truth regarding the bombing,

it could become your biggest achievement.

It will definitely work as an advantage in the election.

OH YEONG-SEOK CANDIDACY ANNOUNCEMENT

MR. KIM

The person you are calling is unavailable.

After your announcement tomorrow,

I'll set up a meeting.

You're right, Minister Oh.

Benito Mussolini,

Adolf Hitler

and Hugo Chavez...

They were all

young politicians each chosen by their VIPs.

Like you, Minister Oh.

However, the situation changed

when they were chosen by the people.

Like you said, Minister Oh.

Do you know that

none of them...

ended their lives beautifully?

I hope...

it ends differently for you.

GENERAL EUN HUI-JEONG

This is Eun Hui-jeong.

Have you considered my offer?

The military option... No,

you probably have no other options now.

What does that mean?

Mr. Kim...

No, the VIP won't protect you any longer.

Do you plan to take all the blame for the National Assembly bombing

and be remembered as a criminal in history?

How would that change...

if I join hands with you?

If you get rid of President Park's administration

before an investigation starts,

you'll remain the miraculous survivor, not a bomber,

and a political leader

that ended the incompetent administration of President Park.

History is a record of winners.

You have to win...

by any means necessary.

Will Minister Oh listen to you?

Do you think he will join us?

He will.

I designed it that way.

-Excuse me? -To plot a rebellion,

you need a cause and a representative.

I can't say I raised an army

because I was suspected to be related to the bombing.

As much as we need the miraculous survivor for our plan,

I made sure he needs us too,

just like now.

Did you set up a trap

so Agent Han would obtain

evidence on Minister Oh?

That was the only way to make him work with me.

Have you agreed to accept General Eun's offer?

Do you plan...

to join hands with the military?

This was my decision.

I can't end it like this.

We...

made a promise in front of our dying comrades.

We promised...

we wouldn't let fake peace exist in Korea

and that we'd never forgive hypocrites in high places.

I can't let that promise...

come to nothing.

I haven't even started.

I need power right now. No,

I need time.

You don't have to explain to me.

Whatever you do at any time or place

won't change the fact that you are a hero to me, sir.

I'll take you straight to the Capital Defense Command.

First, we'll quickly move the divisions on the outskirts of Seoul.

They will gather in front of the Capital Defense Command

by 2300 when we will launch our operation.

Special Ops and the Army Air Command

are with us and are waiting for orders.

We plan to send the mechanized infantry division

and the armored division with tanks to Yeouido and Gwanghwamun.

The military...

has decided to end this strategy of being patient.

We've agreed that we can no longer accept President Park

as the commander-in-chief of our military.

We're asking him to pay for the confusion ever since the bombing.

More importantly, President Park

released General Lee of his post and even locked him up

when he stands for our military.

Why should the military be humiliated like this?

We are the ones

that have been defending democracy!

Tonight,

we are tightening the discipline of our country.

It is now time for the military

to lead the history of Korea.

STRONG SECURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY

Tonight at 11 p.m.

Ji-won, it's Han-mo.

Listen carefully to what I say.

Han-mo?

Han-mo.

You're an outstanding agent.

You tapped my phone and tailed me.

Director Ji,

turn yourself in

now,

before it's too late.

I'm driving at 180km an hour on an 8-lane highway.

How can I stop?

If I brake, it'll cause a huge accident.

If I make a U-turn,

it'll cause a catastrophe.

Am I wrong?

Do you have the location yet?

Give me a second.

I found him.

It's near the Capital Defense Command.

Han-mo.

Let's go our separate ways.

Director Ji.

Beat him up until he's barely alive and bring him to me.

Make sure all he can do is scream.

Yes, sir.

You bastard!

Damn it.

Shit.

Damn it.

-Run! -Run!

Are you okay?

Na-gyeong.

What happened?

You said you'd stay away from danger.

Isn't Jeong Han-mo one excellent agent?

He fooled Han Na-gyeong, the best analyst in our team.

My gosh.

Are you okay, Han-mo?

Sir.

Do you think it's true? How is that possible?

We all assumed something would happen after the bombing.

EXTRA TROOP DEPLOYMENT IN SEOUL

There's a chance that the military will use force,

led by General Eun Hui-jeong, Minister Oh Yeong-seok,

and NIS Deputy Director Ji Yun-bae.

In other words, there's a sign of a coup.

Have you also found out

why they're suddenly trying to show force using the military?

We've found evidence proving that Minister Oh Yeong-seok

and General Eun Hui-jeong are moles

related to the bombing at the National Assembly building.

Sir.

The H-hour is 11:00 p.m.

The troops near the metropolitan area will assemble near the Capital Defense Command.

They're planning to put the mechanized infantry division,

the armored brigades, and tank forces

in Yeouido and Gwanghwamun.

Is that possible?

This is Korea in the 21st century.

The consciousness of our soldiers is at a higher level than before.

Do you still think

there can be a coup?

With the support of the Capital Defense Command,

the Special Ops, and the Aviation Operations Command,

Seoul and the metropolitan area will easily fall.

In the military, hierarchy is what matters the most.

Once the leaders are resolved,

the consciousness of each individual doesn't matter.

Still, General Lee Gwan-muk was

the most trusted man in the military.

There's no way that General Eun could've perfectly made an ally

of the Capital Defense Command, the Special Ops,

and the Aviation Operations Command in such a short time.

This strategy is impossible.

General Eun is leading

the biggest private elite group,

the Milky Way Society.

The Milky Way Society?

It's a private elite group

with top Military Academy graduates as members.

It's named "Milky Way" because there are many stars.

The current chief of the Special Ops,

the commander of Capital Defense Command,

the commander of the Aviation Operations Command, and the commander of DSSC

are members of the society.

General Eun has carried out

the changes in personnel right before the bombing.

He seems to have considered

a military provocation after the bombing from the beginning.

Finally, you're listening to me. Mr. Kim.

The VIP passed on his great concerns about the matter.

He said you have his full support, sir.

"Full support"?

What a beautiful phrase.

I'd love to hear that nice phrase from him in person.

I'd like to hear him say it himself before my eyes.

The VIP is the person I think he is, right?

Well, whoever it is, it doesn't matter.

Tomorrow,

he'll be the one to beg me to see him.

Tell him I will make some time for him then

for your sake, Mr. Kim.

Tell him the world has changed.

I changed

the world.

REGIONAL FORCES UNDER MARTIAL LAW

NORTH JEOLLA PROVINCE, SOUTH JEOLLA PROVINCE

What we need to do now is appoint someone in the military we can trust

and quell the rebel forces

before 11:00 p.m.

But do you think there's someone reliable in the military

that will listen to the Blue House?

Someone we know for sure is on Mr. President's side.

There's one person

who can stand against General Eun.

I'm not sure if he'll take my side, though.

Who is that person?

Since the house arrest was canceled,

I thought the ill-fated relationship between us was over.

What brings you all the way here?

I would like to reinstate you to the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman.

Did you say you would reinstate me?

We have found

that General Eun is plotting a coup.

You want to use me to stop the military from resorting to force.

Am I right?

Mr. President.

My whole life, I have been putting honor before everything.

And you humiliated me twice.

Did you forget that?

Do you think I will just listen to whatever you say?

General Lee Gwan-muk

is a typical elite military general

who is extremely proud, ambitious, and competitive.

I'm sure you have hurt him pretty badly.

You will have to make a sincere apology

and agree to whatever he says

in order to convince him.

General Lee, but--

What if I turn you down?

What are you going to do

if I even join General Eun?

Then this offer

will basically be suicide for you.

You don't know anything about the military

to be called Commander-in-Chief.

Let's make it clear.

Are you turning down my offer?

If you are,

as the Commander-in-Chief of this country,

I have to use another way.

As far as I know, the air force and the navy

were not so happy about the Korean military focusing on the land force.

They won't be so keen on the coup that is led by Army Chief of Staff...

and the Milky Way Society, a private group.

We're going to quell the rebel forces using the Underwater Demolition Team,

the 2nd Marine Division, Incheon Naval Sector Defense Command,

and the 10th Fighter Wing.

Both the leaders of the AOC and the Special Ops

are from the Milky Way Society,

but all the brigade commanders are not Military Academy graduates.

They are hostile to the Milky Way Society.

I will assemble them

and command them to remove the coup leaders in advance.

Mr. President.

We won't be able to avoid bloodshed.

But the rebel force will definitely be quelled.

Because

our people have learned

a big lesson from history.

Do you

want me to make that happen?

Let's stop here.

Mr. President.

We must leave now.

Let's get some rest.

We need to go in at exactly the same time.

We have an issue, sir.

Go.

I think

the Blue House might know about our move.

I

looked into it through my information line, and it seems like they do.

REGIONAL FORCES UNDER MARTIAL LAW EXTRA TROOP DEPLOYMENT IN SEOUL

Then we have no choice.

We should make our move

before they counteract.

Hello, it's me, Eun Hui-jeong.

General Lee, we are ready.

Will you join us?

Where did you say we'd be meeting?

Was it necessary to invite him as well?

The more people we have to share with,

the smaller the size of the pie we'll get.

General Lee

is trusted the most by the soldiers.

Since the Blue House insulted him,

they have passed a vote of nonconfidence.

We need someone influential who's not a part of the Milky Way Society.

General Lee will give us a justification,

and Minister Oh will be our representative.

Sir.

Thank you for everything, Sang-min.

Sir.

You need to remain a hero until the end.

I will protect you.

Put that gun down.

Put it down!

Didn't you hear something?

Sir.

General Lee has just arrived.

General Lee has arrived

at the Capital Defense Command.

I believe he has joined hands with General Eun.
