Mom.

The prosecutors' office
is conducting a search and seizure

at Prime Minister Jeong's home,

with the hopes to gather enough evidence
for the alleged bribery

involving the constitutional justices,
as well as North Korean lobbying.

Tensions run high as the date
of her hearing soon approaches.

Lee Jang-seok speaking.

This is Lee Man-gil,
Jeong Su-jin's personal assistant.

Please leave me and my family
out of the investigation.

Watch out behind you.

Look to your right.

That's the tablet of CEO Han Min-ho.

It has all of Namsan C&C's records
from the last five years

since its founding.

You can use it in your investigation.

Just leave me out of it.

Jeong Su-jin has
no other options.

She can either disappear with them
or go down alone.

Mr. President, Jeong Su-jin…

Jeong Su-jin, she, uh, went to
the prosecutors' office voluntarily.

Oh.

The summons hasn't even been issued yet.

LEE JANG-SEOK

Jang-seok.

-Jeong Su-jin's about to go to you--
-Dong-ho, listen.

I've acquired Han Min-ho's tablet.

It has the list of every
Namsan C&C investor,

including President Jang's son,
Jang Hyeon-su.

It's all in here.

There's evidence linked to Gi-tae.

I found out how they were able
to frame our friend Gi-tae

and what ultimately
drove him to his death.

This is it, Dong-ho.

So Han Min-ho's tablet contains evidence
on how they framed my brother?

I never asked Gi-tae
what kind of world he dreamt for us.

Daejin Group's Chairman Kang Yeong-ik
and Jo Sang-cheon.

No matter what happens to me,

please pull out all the weeds
still left in the Blue House.

He dreamt of a world

where justice would prevail.

I want to sweep everything away,

everything that is corrupt in this world…

and begin anew.

I think my time in the Blue House is over.

THE WHIRLWIND

EPISODE 11

Smells so good.

Guess I was wrong.

There's one good thing
about the prosecutors' office after all.

Have as much tea
as you'd like.

That's your last cup
before you head over to prison.

The prosecution has seized
the tablet of Han Min-ho,

CEO of Namsan C&C.

Discovered in the tablet were recordings

between the CEO
and Vice Chairman Kang Sang-un

conspiring against Assemblyman Seo Gi-tae.

After Seo Gi-tae questioned
the illegal nature of the PE fund…

Please stop
the investigation of Seo Gi-tae.

…Vice Chairman Kang converted funds
he borrowed from Choi Se-won,

the Chairman of a cryptocurrency exchange
and friend to Assemblyman Seo Gi-tae.

This is just political retaliation.
He's being framed here.

In his will,

he asked me to write an epitaph for him.

I haven't even started.

Jeong-yeon,

I'm going to write Gi-tae's epitaph today.

I would love it if we could
finish everything by noon.

I have things to do.
I can't adjust my schedule at all.

If you had any idea
of the evidence that I possess,

you would have to clear your schedule
for at least the next decade.

Go ahead and check.

Take a really good look
at Han Min-ho's diary

and what he did
on February 21st this year.

Send me a summary of Han Min-ho's diary,
organized by date.

There once
was a human rights attorney

who dedicated his entire life
to the people,

and there was a politician who fought
against the dictatorship in her youth.

They both fought battles
against the monsters in this world,

but it transformed them in different ways.

One became outraged
by the world's injustices,

while the other joined in the corruption.

But the man who

sacrificed himself
to fight against the injustices

can finally be exonerated here today!

And the name of that man is…

…Mr. Seo Gi-tae.

He was my friend.

DIGITAL FORENSIC CENTER

Back when I was about to
have my confirmation hearing,

this whole Namsan C&C issue
was turning into a difficult situation.

For the South to survive,

the North needs to die.

I'm sure my husband felt bad.

He probably just wanted to help.

The NCSR president, Han Min-ho,

and the head of the SPO, Jo Sang-cheon.

That makes for an incredible team,
doesn't it?

Men can be
really foolish sometimes.

All a wife really wants

is just a few warm words
from her husband. That's it.

It seems men insist on finding a solution.

Weren't you planning on
a cross-examination with Jo Sang-cheon?

What a shame.

Han Min-ho is no longer with us.

This whole thing's a lie.

This is the truth
of what happened.

Vice Chairman Kang invested in a PE fund

and requested
a special pardon for his father.

Seo Gi-tae learned of this
and was framed because of it.

He was driven to his untimely death.

Everything that will surface
from CEO Han's tablet

is the complete truth.

Well, look at that.

The president just said
that it's all true.

Guilt by association doesn't exist.

You can't punish a wife
for the crimes of her husband.

We will find more evidence.

You're not getting away with this.

Come one step closer,
and it'll be the people

who will summon the prosecution.

Park Dong-ho talked to the press.
Was that part of your plan?

The thing about life

is if you try your best,

luck comes to you eventually.

JULY 2, JANG REFUSED A MEETING
JULY 4, JANG REQUESTED AN INVESTIGATION

President Jang Il-jun's supporters
have been laying low for now.

Tell them that
President Jang is innocent, and

they should… be very furious right now.

JEONG SU-JIN

Have you decided?

Will you fall with the others
or go down alone?

I don't have an answer,
but I have a question for you.

Why did you attempt
to kill President Jang,

an innocent politician
who led our nation with honor?

Unfortunately, you don't have time
to come up with an answer.

We have exclusive coverage
of the diary found

on CEO Han Min-ho's tablet.

It reveals Vice Chairman Kang's request
for a special pardon

triggered President Jang,
who was reportedly furious.

He expressed his intention
to open an investigation

into the private equity fund.

Former President Jang also ordered
a strict investigation into his own son,

Jang Hyeon-su,

emphasizing that he should not
receive preferential treatment.

Lastly, according to
CEO Han Min-ho's diary,

President Jang remained resolute,

unmoved by either threats
or conciliatory gestures."

Prime minister.

What's your stance
on the recent developments?

Over here.

President Jang was a great president.

An admirable leader and politician.

He was a man of principles,

and he was respected and loved

by everyone in this country.

For reasons unknown,
we lost an incredible man.

Let me direct this question
to President Park.

What was your reason
for assassinating President Jang?

It happened the day before your arrest.

Were you afraid?

By becoming the acting president,

you were able to
entirely cover up your crimes,

so is that why you killed him?

The time has come

to tell the world

why you took President Jang away from us.

Don't bring further disgrace
upon the Blue House.

Don't make a further mockery
of our country.

You must stop

insulting our honorable
and beloved president, Jang Il-jun!

I've wondered over and over,

"Why didn't I suspect
anything about the diary?"

If only I had checked it beforehand.

Why is it that the powerful never…

feel ashamed about anything?

I had a dream

I was sitting by
the statue in Gwanghwamun Square,

and I was pooping in public.

Oh my.

Hundreds of people were driving
and walking by as I was squatting there.

I was holding my head up high, you know?

I locked eyes with everyone
who looked at me as they passed by.

My confidence made them look away.

Look at that.

It was shaped just like those mountains.

Dong-ho, listen.

Not everything can smell like
a bed of roses, especially in politics.

There will come a time when

you, too, will have to
take a shit in public.

And when that day comes…

And this is what he said.

Don't feel ashamed about it.

Don't feel ashamed about it.

And tell everyone…

"I have never done that in my life."

And if you insist enough,

at some point, even those
who saw you in the act…

…will question if they ever saw it.

Jeong Su-jin visited
President Jang's gravesite

along with thousands of his supporters.

You know what she wrote
on the visitor log?

"I will prove President Jang's innocence."

It seems President Jang's supporters
will never

believe he did anything wrong
as the president.

What's wrong with the world?

At this point,
that's not what matters anymore.

What matters

is how we decide
to navigate through that world.

The tablet's going to forensics.
They'll check for tampering.

We'll hear back in a week
or ten days at the latest.

I've always thought
you couldn't fight lies with the truth,

that only a greater lie beats a lie.

But for once, I really want to believe

that the truth can prevail.

Mr. President,

Jeong Su-jin submitted a special
prosecution bill to the Assembly.

With 296 total votes,

149 in favor

and 147 against,

the special prosecution bill
has been passed.

You recommended Attorney Choi Jin-su
as a candidate for special prosecutor?

He's a former public security prosecutor
and a far-right figure.

You must know that Park Dong-ho
will never agree to that.

You're right.

As he should.

As the president
of the Republic of Korea,

I am vetoing the special prosecution bill

passed by the National Assembly.

The justice bribery accusations,

as well as the legitimacy
of Han Min-ho's tablet,

will continue to be investigated

under the supervision
of Prosecutor Lee Jang-seok.

The district attorney and the president

were spotted talking in secret together
on the path behind the Blue House.

President Park Dong-ho
and Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang-seok

were spotted
holding a secret meeting today.

Questions are arising regarding how their…

Is your friendship
with Prosecutor Lee

affecting the investigation in any way?

And why is Prosecutor Lee
leading the investigations, may I ask?

Nobody will believe
that the prosecution is unbiased.

And then…

…the Blue House will finally collapse.

Let's go

to the Trade Union.

♪ That is deeper than even death ♪

♪ Charge through rain and snow ♪

♪ To the battlefront!
The battlefront! ♪

♪ It is the warrior's fate
To give their youth to the cause ♪

♪ Is the fate of fighters… ♪

KIM JEONG-SU

CHAIRMAN OF TRADE UNION FEDERATION

You embezzled union funds, didn't you?

How else could you
afford tuition for your kids?

My husband left

a commercial building behind.

Just imagine.

EMANCIPATION OF LABOR

You and your kids would
have all of that rent money.

You wouldn't have to work
for the rest of your lives.

STOP! ANTI-LABOR POLICY
END! SYSTEM OF INEQUALITY

He promised to go on a general strike
until President Park resigns.

Let's go.

Time for our next move.

JEONG JAE-MUN

PRESIDENT OF THE KOREAN BAR ASSOCIATION

It would be an insult
to everything we fight for.

History is written by the victors,
not the losers.

So, which side of history

will you be on?
The winning or losing side?

Democracy is crumbling.

Our country is falling apart.

As very proud sons
of the April Revolution,

we fought against dictatorship.

As daughters of the June Uprising,
we resisted military coups.

For that reason,

we refuse to be ruled
by a cold-blooded killer.

The person who assassinated President Jang

has no credibility
to even speak about justice,

much less to administer it.

My fellow citizens,
Park Dong-ho must be brought to justice!

The nationwide general strike
will begin tomorrow.

Everything, including production,
transportation, ports,

and distribution will come to a halt.

Call for an emergency Cabinet meeting.
We must put an end to this illegal strike.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

The Minister of Justice resigned.

He says that you are
no longer his president.

Call the Minister of the Interior
and Safety to mobilize--

That's from
the Minister of the Interior and Safety.

Did you forget?

President Jang Il-jun was
the minister's closest mentor.

Just so you know,
the GEU will join the strike.

All government institutions
are shutting down tomorrow.

Jeong Su-jin.

Don't even bother.

You can try as hard as you want,
but no one will follow your orders.

So just give up.

If you try to fight back,

then I will bring this
whole nation to a halt.

Today marks the third day of
the civil resistance movement,

with over one million workers

from more than fourteen hundred factories
nationwide participating in the strike.

The movement is rapidly spreading
across the entire country.

Recent opinion polls show
that over 90% of the public

favor the president
stepping down from office

and facing legal consequences.

Religious groups
are calling for your resignation.

The Catholics, Buddhists,
and the Christian Council.

Will we be able to survive this?

LEE JANG-SEOK

What is it?

Step down now!

The prosecution is not
a tool for politics, Mr. Lee.

Please step down.

Dong-ho… the investigation
was brought to a halt.

I no longer have control

over any of the prosecutors
in this office.

It's over.

The protesters are planning to march
over to the Blue House next.

That's what I've been told.

They want you to step down
from your position, or else

they will drag you out of here themselves.

Step down, Park Dong-ho!

Step down, Park Dong-ho!

Step down, Park Dong-ho!

You're doing all of this for the people.

How can they be this way
after everything--

No.

I didn't do it for the people.

As a matter of fact,
it was never for them.

I did it all for myself…

because I could not stand by and watch
a corrupt leader rule our country.

Because I could no longer
bear the injustices of this world.

I did it all for my ego.

So, Jeong-yeon…

just lay the blame on me.

Your safety is the top priority.

You should go to the safe house
and stay there for the time being.

I don't think

there is any place

in this country I'd be safe.

I have to fight.

I still have a lot to do.

So until then,

I won't let her win.

500,000 protestors
will attempt to march to the Blue House

after this evening's rally.

I will notify the police.

They will be positioned
on every path to the Blue House--

Don't do that.

In fact, do the opposite.

Tell them to withdraw.

But the Blue House is in great danger.

If you try to protect the Blue House,

you'll be in danger, Commissioner.

SEO JEONG-YEON

I went to the airport, but

I was

banned from leaving.

Do you think you can help me
find a way to escape abroad, Man-gil?

These are the campaign financial records

for Mayor Oh Jin-cheol
and Governor Song Min-tae.

Use these to bring both of them down.

This will ensure Jeong Su-jin
as the next acting president.

I'll look for a ship
that can leave tonight.

MOM

How do I tell my mother I'm leaving?

Now my phone's dead.

Everything's going wrong.

Here. Use my phone.

-The briefcase number…
-I know it.

It's the date that…

our wedding was
supposed to happen, isn't it?

Jeong-yeon,

don't get caught.

Live a good life, okay?

Jeong-yeon? Jeong-yeon.

Wait!

Open the door.

Jeong-yeon!

Open the door! Jeong-yeon, open the door!

Open the door, Jeong-yeon!

The rally will begin at 6:00.

One hour each for the cultural festival
and resolution rally.

We'll start marching towards
the Blue House around 8:00.

I had all the riot police withdrawn,

so no one will be blocking
your way to the Blue House.

Great, but I'm not sure
if it's a good idea to--

People will remember you, Jeong-su.

History will remember you as
the Fidel Castro of the Republic of Korea.

Call for an emergency meeting.

LEE MAN-GIL

The Blue House
will fall at 8:00 p.m. tonight.

Call for an emergency
Cabinet meeting at 9:00.

Actually, the prime minister's
office might fall first.

This is Park Dong-ho.

Unfortunately,
your personal assistant is busy.

Luckily for me, there was a bunch
of information on his cell phone,

such as the reason why
you killed President Jang…

Even if the president
wakes up right now,

he can't save any of us anymore.

…and how he actually died that day.

If a single protestor
takes a step into the Blue House,

then the entire world…

…will know about what you did.

Jeong-su, stand by for now.

Wait for my signal.
Until then, stay near the Blue House.

PARK DONG-HO

You can get off there.

High heels and a white suit.

Not the best attire for a hike.

Come up here.

Six bottles of soju
and two bottles of whiskey

was too much for
a inauguration ceremony, sir.

It's weird, isn't it?

I never get drunk when I'm
drinking with you, Dong-ho.

My goodness, this is nice.

The president and I need a moment to talk.

My question hasn't changed, Jeong Su-jin.

Will you go down alone, or

will you fall from grace
with everybody else?

Unfortunately,

you don't have the time

to come up with another plan.

I need to make a call. Your phone, please?

You have 500,000 protestors
waiting for your signal.

I wonder who they'll charge
after the truth comes out.

I think they'll be very angry.

Where do you think they'll go first?

To the Blue House?

Or to your office?

-Jeong Su-jin speaking.
-It's me.

They stole my phone from me.
I'm really sorry. It's completely new.

There's no information in there.

Make the call.

Tell your enraged protestors
to march over to the Constitutional Court

and over to the National Assembly.

It's me.

Start marching towards the Blue House.

There's no one there to stop you.
I'll have the Secret Service step aside.

There won't be
a single soul in this country

to protect President Park.

What a relief.

It seems that phone was empty all along.

I guess you are just
grasping at straws now.

You two are the only people

who can support me
throughout my five-year term.

So stay with me till the end.

Keep me on the right path!

Yes, sir!

Don't ever let me fall.

Take care of me, all right?

I will.

Jeong Su-jin, the president's murderer!

Yet, you have no evidence. How pitiful.

President Jang Il-jun had a dream…
and I will make it into a reality.

I will go down in history

as President Jang's successor.
And you, as his assassin.

No one in the world will suspect me.

No one will ever know
the truth of what happened here.

You're wrong.

They will know you are
the president's murderer.

By dismissing the security guards,
it proves murderous intent.

This shows there was a scuffle.
That's circumstantial evidence.

And this will be the conclusive evidence!

Jeong Su-jin.

The president that you murdered is

Park Dong-ho

THE WHIRLWIND
