CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT

I will do my best

to serve you just as you
served President Jang

when you were his prime minister.

I will thoroughly execute
the duties of my role.

After all, if it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have made it this far.

My fellow citizens,
I stand before you honored

to accept the role of prime minister
in the administration of Park Dong-ho.

I extend my deepest gratitude
to the President,

the Assembly members from both parties,

and the citizens of Korea
for their trust in allowing me to lead

the Cabinet as your prime minister.

My vision is to create a society
where every citizen,

especially the less privileged,

is empowered to thrive
and where there is opportunity for all.

Say something.

I'd like an apology from you.

"I'll keep silent
about the private equity fund."

"Just find proof
that I didn't assassinate the president."

"I'm just an innocent businessman

who was framed and incarcerated
by President Park Dong-ho,

so please find a way
to get me out of here."

Do you remember saying any of that?

-The verdict of the first trial--
-The first of multiple trials.

-Park Dong-ho is the president now.
-Not for long, he's not.

He's too high up the ladder.

President Jang was high up the ladder too.

Keep your mouth shut.

And your eyes open.

I'll

help you get back to your office
at Daejin Group.

So please

keep your cell clean.

Very soon,

this cell will belong to Park Dong-ho.

I'll have you

and him

eating right out of my hand.

I need you to

set up a meeting.

THE WHIRLWIND

EPISODE 8

SAFE HOUSE IN SAMCHEONGDONG

KANG YEONG-IK
THE CHAIRMAN OF DAEJIN GROUP

I just learned Chairman Kang has been
discharged from the hospital, ma'am.

He asked for a meeting with the president
at the Samcheongdong Safe House.

We finally get to meet, you and I.

I told your eldest son sitting over there

I would expose my sins

if he exposes the sins of his brother.

However,

Prime Minister Jeong Su-jin still has
a firm muzzle on your son Kang Sang-un.

Do you think you can remove it?

And what do I get in return?

What power will you put in my hand?

That man used to work for me.

I think you'll find him useful.

He'll demand
the chairman position of the NPS.

Every year, they invest about
900 trillion won just in stocks alone.

That's more than twice
the national budget.

Daejin Group's stock price will skyrocket
if even a tenth of that money is moved,

and Chairman Kang will end up
making trillions in profits.

So what you're asking me

is to use the National Pension
as Daejin Group's seed money?

That's right, but only a portion.

I will only use what I need
and put the rest right back.

You formed an illegal slush fund worth
hundreds of billions of won and now--

That was over a decade ago

when you were still a prosecutor.

I'll request another arrest warrant.
Apart from the tax havens, there are…

You kept on investigating
my overseas stocks and bonds.

You pretty much forced me to

cut more than half of the fund.

Five years ago…

Once I'm in the Assembly,
I'll resume the investigation.

You joined the National
Assembly, and I lost another half.

That national investigation forced me
to move all of it to a Swiss bank.

You chopped my fingers off,

and you left me with nothing
but this one right here.

That wasn't nice.

So if you want a favor from me,

then you'll have to find a way
to give me all that money back.

Do you think
Dong-ho will team up with him?

A lion will never feast on rotten flesh,

even when on the verge of starvation.

For that reason…

the lion's fate is sealed.

It looks like I was mistaken.

I thought you were a reasonable man,
Chairman Kang.

I shouldn't have wasted your precious time
before you return to prison.

This won't affect the people
or the country in any way.

The money's only being used
within the group to

influence our stock prices.

The reason I'm borrowing money
from the National Pension

is to fix my succession problem.

You want to get rid of Kang Sang-un

so that Kang Sang-jin
can become your heir?

Is Vice-chairman Kang aware of your plans
to erase him from Daejin Group?

It's not like it matters.

He'll never be a free man again anyway,

so I might as well make
Sang-un take one for the team,

don't you think, Mr. President?

He is charged
for assassinating a sitting president.

That's life in prison without parole,
no matter what I do.

So you want to keep your son in prison

for the rest of his life
for the president's assassination?

If just one person has to face injustice

in order for all of us
to get what we want--

How could you?!

Father!

I trusted you, you bastard!

Put your faith in me, Vice-Chairman Kang.

I need the bank account number
for the slush fund that was the source

of your investment in Han Min-ho.

Macao Bank.

No! Sang-un!

Why?!

Eight, two,

one, nine, one,

zero,

three,

one!

Get the NIS to secure
the Macao Bank account

and the FSS to confirm
the details of the transactions.

Yes, Mr. President.

Oh?

Get all 25 prosecutors
and 40 detectives from the CIO

on Han Min-ho's case.

Uh, that's impossible.
We've got other cases to work--

That was a command.

If you do this, you'll be promoted
as my next minister of justice.

What will it be?

Detective Lee Jong-yeong
from the CIO.

Where is Director Jo Il-gyu?

Director Jo?

Which prosecutor's on the case?

-I'm not sure--
-Figure it out!

That way I know
which connections of mine to call.

Su-jin! Su-jin!

Su-jin!

-Did you hear? The CIO--
-I heard.

I'm going to my office to look into it.

JEONG PIL-GYU

Hey, Su-jin, it's me.

I heard something from a buddy in the NIS.

Vice Chairman Kang told them everything.

They got the Macao Bank account.

How dare the CIO get involved?!
Who do they think they are?

Hey, Su-jin.

Why don't you use your position
as prime minister to change the law?

How much?

How much was Kang Sang-un's investment?

First one was five billion.

The second time, he sent me ten billion.

Which account did he get the money from?

Macao Bank, I think.

Are you… okay?

Who's the person in charge
of Namsan C&C's books?

Park Tae-sik, the former NCSR director,

and Oh Cheol-min, the guy who let me hide
at his place when I was wanted for--

Send him away!
Somewhere Park Dong-ho can't reach.

Hurry! Go!

Hand over your shares over to Cheol-un,
and take a break as CEO of Namsan C&C.

Su-jin, listen. I can fix this, okay?

I'm sorry. This is my fault.

I should have never trusted you.

But I built Namsan C&C myself
from the ground up.

I'm done asking you nicely.

-Dissolve your company.
-Jeong Su-jin!

I am Han Min-ho.

They tracked down
the phones of Namsan C&C's personnel.

They're at the Port of Incheon now.

Looks like they're trying to leave
the country in spite of their travel ban.

Then call the Coast Guard.
Tell them to stop every fishing boat.

Already made.

But it wasn't me who made the call
to the Coast Guard, sir.

The order came from the prime minister.

Kim Gu, leader of the Independence
Movement against Imperial Japan

wrote this after being tortured.

"The pro-Japanese are fighting hard."

"I'll have to fight harder
for our independence."

Call for a meeting.

We've gathered
human intelligence from a secret source.

(EMERGENCY SECURITY MEETING)

Insurgent forces

that were operating in secret
are attempting

to flee the country this very moment.

Mobilize all military assets
of the Navy and Air Force,

including special-purpose aircrafts
and airborne warning aircrafts.

I heard you held an emergency NSC meeting.

What kind of national emergency
is kept from the prime minister?

I need you to fly abroad next week.

I'd like you to give the keynote speech
at the Global Security Council in France.

Is there a reason
why you want me out of the country?

I thought I made it clear.

The reason is this country
has no use for someone like you.

SO-YEON'S DAD

Su-jin, Tae-sik and Cheol-min
have been arrested at sea.

They're being transferred to the CIO.

How dare you mobilize the military
for your own personal interests?

Well, I'm only…
taking a page from your book.

You want me gone,

out of the country
so you can take down Namsan C&C.

Have a great trip.

But when you're back,
the CIO will be waiting for you.

The deputy prime minister
should attend in my--

You've fallen into quicksand.

But don't you dare
try and reach out for help.

Whoever grabs your hand
will be dragged down with you.

Don't even think about screaming for help.

You can scream all you want,
but it won't matter.

This is the end for you and I.

Farewell.

Goodbye.

The CIO is currently investigating

Namsan C&C's accounting team leader,
Park Tae-sik,

and the finance director, Oh Cheol-min,

who were caught last night
while attempting to flee overseas.

Both individuals were in charge
of managing funds at Namsan C&C

and are believed to possess
key information regarding the company.

After investigating
Vice Chairman Kang's slush fund account,

the CIO is now focused on determining how
those funds were obtained by Namsan C&C

and the nature of the compensation.

The CIO announced plans
to issue a subpoena to CEO Han Min-ho,

with an indication that an arrest warrant
will be issued if he fails to comply.

I've lost so much money.

All of my investments,

my overseas funds,
and cryptocurrency, it's gone.

Just so you know, Namsan C&C never

profited from being involved
in national projects or political moves.

Not even I would fall for that lie.

Do you really think the CIO will?

Listen.

Don't tell them about our dealings.

Su-jin never knew anything about it.

S… say that in your testimony.

You're trying to save your wife's butt.

If she goes scot-free,
she'll find a way out for you.

That's your plan, isn't it?

After you're convicted,
she'll get you a special pardon.

Then you'll go back into society
as if nothing happened.

Vice Chairman, please don't--

It's too late.
There's nothing I can do now.

I never told you this, but

you were always so fragile,

like a broken egg.

The CIO already found

the Bangkok account that was linked
to your account in Macao.

At the last election,
you received a generous subsidy.

It came from that account, right?

So…

what did you tell them? Everything?

When two suspects are being investigated
for the same crime,

the person who cooperates first
will usually go free.

That's just the perk
for helping with the investigation.

But I never thought
I'd end up being the snitch.

Tell your wife to get a lawyer.

If you want, I can send one of mine,

once they're done getting me out.

Vice Chairman Kang,

please help me.

Please don't do this to me!

Did you know

a boiled egg represents

a new beginning?

Why did I ever look up
to someone like you?

Why haven't I left you…

after all this time together?

Twenty years ago,

when you first tried to get elected,

only 12 votes kept you from winning.

I wonder what our lives
would've been like instead.

I would've been a great politician,
I think.

It's already been a decade

from the last time
you tried to get elected.

I wonder what if you hadn't lost then.

Well, I think
it worked out for the better…

because thanks to that,

you were able to run for office.

You'll get through this, hmm?

Su-jin.

Back then,
you were arrested twice, right?

For breaking
the Assembly and Demonstration Act and…

the National Act.

I still remember
when thousands of students gathered

in front of the prison and chanted,

"Han Min-ho! Han Min-ho!"

Everyone said you were great.

And I was actually

proud of you back then.

Just know…

that I'm still

proud of you.

That's enough.

Leave it for me.

Go get some rest.

"Until the day I die,
I long to have no speck of shame

when I gaze up toward heaven."

Just like this verse from a poet
who lived through Japanese colonialism,

I've always made an effort
to live a life without shame.

Your car's ready, ma'am.

He plans to kill himself.

The police!

Call the police. Hurry!

The investment isn't the only money
your husband received from Kang.

The vice chairman supplied election funds

to over 100 candidates
of the Korean Liberal party.

And more than 50 of them
were successfully elected.

If this had come to light

after your husband was summoned,

the Korean Liberal Party
would've completely crumbled.

He's my husband, So-yeon's father!

It's too high a price to pay.

President Jang paid the price.

You made sure with your own two hands.

If your husband stays alive

then more than 50 people
would fall with him.

Even if he were to come back to us,
he wouldn't be able to save us.

In that case, it makes sense
that all of this is really for the better.

Wouldn't you agree?

Lee Man-gil!

This is what he wanted.

He told me himself.

He was embarrassed
of the last ten years of his life.

I wanna feel

like the honorable NCSR President
Han Min-ho I once was…

as I take my life.

It's what he wants, ma'am.

I spent my entire life fighting
against injustice and dictatorship,

but the blades of political investigation
cut too deep.

I can no longer witness
the arrest of my innocent friends

and colleagues
for something they didn't do.

I swear in the name
of my beloved country and its history

that I, too, am innocent.

I hope that no one else

will fall victim to the same fate as me.

Han Min-ho.

EMERGENCY CALL 112

This was found next to his body.

Su-jin,

I want to be remembered

for who I was.

Han Min-ho! Han Min-ho!

I'll never forget…

Han Min-ho! Han Min-ho!

…the passionate and ambitious
young man I fell in love with.

I'll make sure you are remembered

for the person you once were…

Min-ho.

And when I finish here…

we can…

cry together.

Our country sometimes compensates
victims kidnapped by North Korea.

But according to the law,

only national martyrs,
those who died in the line of duty,

and patriots are entitled
to that compensation.

I'll find a way

to make sure that your father receives
that recognition.

After all, he was kidnapped,
then later murdered.

So, if he

receives the title of a national martyr--

The voices of your supporters
will only grow louder.

Really? This is the greatest gift
I've been given in a while.

Let's hear it.

What do you want in return?

You are the head of Public Security
at the Prosecutors' Office,

and I handle
the Cultural Propaganda Division.

That makes for an amazing team.

PRESIDENT PARK DONG-HO

TO: THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR
SEOUL CENTRAL DPO

PARK DONG-HO

After I was demoted
to the Institute of Justice,

I took up hiking.

As I was climbing over rocks and hills,
I would think,

"What should I do now?

If Gi-tae was still here,
what would he say?"

Gi-tae had faith in the justice system.

He was a man of principles.
He followed the law, even if it took--

That's why my brother

didn't make it.

So is that why you went to Artemis?

SIX MONTHS AGO

Jeong-yeon,
tell me, did Dong-ho

tell you to get the drug?

I know it was his idea

to poison President Jang.
Tell me the truth.

It wasn't.

It was Gi-tae's idea.

At his funeral, I heard him telling me
to do whatever it takes

to stop President Jang Il-jun.

He cried out from his grave
and told me to do

whatever it took to bring Jeong Su-jin
to justice once and for all.

I heard him loud and clear.

You're his friend.
You didn't hear anything?

I have to enforce the law.
It's my job as a prosecutor.

When my brother
was pushed to commit suicide,

where was the law, Jang-seok?

When Jeong Su-jin covered up the truth,
where was the prosecution?

I know it's hard.

And I know

the justice system can take a while.

But I have faith

that, in the end,
justice will be served, Jeong-yeon.

Even if the system
makes me angry sometimes,

I know the right thing
is to wait for due process.

I went to the Artemis club to

grab a few beers with a friend of mine.

It's a weak alibi,

and your investigation
will probably refute it in no time,

but Jang-seok…

take the long way around if possible.

If anything, do it for my brother.

Jeong-yeon…

there are some really bad people
in this world,

but the people who carry out
their own plans for justice

can be just as problematic.

Like you're doing,

and Dong-ho.

It's a list of Cabinet members
who will be working with me.

Seventeen ministers and deputy ministers.
Trustworthy people.

You don't have
the power to do that.

Only the president has
the authority to appoint--

The prime minister
can recommend candidates.

I'll soon have the power
to choose whomever I want anyway.

You'll be leaving
the Blue House soon enough.

What should I do first,
once I become the acting president?

Suggestions?

I have one suggestion.

Just because your husband
recently passed away,

doesn't make you invulnerable.

And here's one for you.

The authority you have as president

doesn't make you invulnerable either.

Mr. President.

New Conservative Party's Assemblyman
Jo Sang-cheon

held an emergency press conference today,

requesting that the National Assembly
hold an investigation

regarding
the late President Jang Il-jun's death.

You are head of Public Security
at the Prosecutors' Office,

and I handle
the Cultural Propaganda Division.

That makes for an amazing team.

Assemblyman Jo Sang-cheon
raised a question

about the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the late president's sudden--

The thing about nuclear weapons is

it poses the greatest threat
only when a finger…

is resting on the button.

You pushed that button first,
and now it's my turn.

The New Conservative Party
announced a national investigation

to address public suspicions
about the late president's death,

including a questioning of witnesses
and on-site investigations.

Prosecutor Lee is on his way
to the National Assembly Building.

Once he's sworn in
and the testimony begins,

that might be the end of us,
Mr. President.

Today marks
the beginning of the investigation,

with the first witness already selected.

All attention is focused
on District Attorney Lee Jang-seok

and what stance he will take.

Turn the car around.

You will not give a testimony.

That's an order!

I can't.

This first started because President Jang
interfered with the investigation.

Please listen.

-You're behaving like President Jang--
-A month.

Actually, all I need is a week.

I promised Gi-tae
that Jeong Su-jin would face justice.

Let me do it for you.

I can't stop investigating
the PE fund case.

You'll be leaving
the Blue House soon enough.

No, only I can do this.

I can't leave the Blue--

I'm sure President Jang also thought
that only he could do it.

He evaded punishment
because he believed he was

the only person who could fix everything.

Please, Jang-seok.

But that's
what's destroying this country.

This self-preservation

is what makes you corrupt.

I have to hold you accountable
for your actions.

But I promise you, Dong-ho,

after I'm done with you,

I will go after those who began this.

Is that clear?

What should I do first,
once I become the acting president?

Dong-ho? Dong-ho?

So no stone

should be left unturned.

No authority should be immune
to impartial investigation.

"No stone should be left unturned."

Usually, people who say that
are unturned stones.

Go make the arrest.

I'm Detective Lee Jong-yeong.

Prosecutor Lee Jang-seok,
you're under arrest for bribery.
