Aren't we old friends?
The Blue House Presidential Secretariat.
This is Han Gi Joon.
I need to speak with the President right away.
Can I make a request as well?
The President cut off all communications for now.
This is urgent.
This is very important!
Secretary.
Secretary?
Don't do anything.
Everything you're planning to do...
Don't do it.
And...
Let's not meet like this again.
If you have something to say to me, come through official channels.
At the Blue House.
Is there anymore business to take care of?
No.
Let's go back.

Excuse me.
I'm looking for a patient.
An accident victim this morning in Chungioo.
He was transferred to this hospital.

You'll be okay...
Right?
Escort Team 2, Hwang Yoon Jae.
Building a strong Korea...
President Lee Dong Hwi's aim was to boost the country's economy.
His approval rating was over 90% at the beginning of his presidency.
After three years in the office,
his approval rating plummeted into the teens.
President Lee Dong Hwi owned a LED magnet company in 1998.
A special task force has gained momentum with the company's stock fraud allegations.
If the allegations prove to be true, the President's
administration is in serious question for ethics violations.
In an attempt to sway public opinion, the President is visiting street markets.
However, his efforts may not be enough to turn the frigid public opinion.
The VIP will move about 300 feet in the market today.
Chief of Secret Service - Ham Bong Soo.
He will be visiting the Bosung restaurant today.

If anyone wants to harm the President, there
isn't a better place than the street market.

Hello, everyone!

It's delicious.
You must be suffering so much in this cold weather.
Thank you!
Lee Dong Hwi! Lee Dong Hwi!
It's made with our own rice grain.
Please taste this. It's very good.
This is 9882. We're 30 feet from the VIP.
Control the pedestrians.
Eleven o'clock. Block!
Hey, stop!
How about the VIP?
Agents, report status!
Agents, report status. Agents, report status.
Agents, respond.
We're evacuating the VIP to the secured location!
Is the VIP safe?
Agents!
Report status!
Bring the car!
What's going on?
What happened?
Stand him up.
You stay here.
Hey, clean up here.
Hey.
You crazy?
How can you pay attention to that?
What are you doing?
Your father just passed away.
If...
it was a bomb instead of flour...
We would've lost the VIP.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
No matter what!
You can't lose your focus!
Presidential Secretary - Shin Kyu Jin.
Is this the agent?
Yes.
It was all my fault.
I'm ready to take on any disciplinary action.
On every news...
photos of the President covered in flour
is plastered.
The Internet is worse.
But...
even if you're disciplined, will those pictures disappear?
Will what happened today go away?
Please stop.
Are you...
protecting him because he's a member of Presidential Security?
We were clearly against today's activity.
The street market event is too risky.
Don't you think we know that?
Removing the risky factors is your duty as the Secret Service.
I'm responsible for the Secret Service.
If you have any complaints, talk to me.
Then...
Will you write your resignation in place of this agent?
Agent Han Tae Kyung is the son of Secretary to the President, Han Gi Joon.
We were told only 30 minutes ago.
Early this morning...
he was in a coma from a car accident.
While the market event was happening,
he passed away.
It was my fault.
As you mentioned earlier, no matter what...
even if my father passed away...
I'm the one who lost focus.
We'll discipline him accordingly.
So...
stop now.
Turn in your ID and your badge.
You're suspended for now.
Go.
You need to attend to his funeral.
I'll leave after I file my report to Legal.
Never mind. Just go!
No.
It was my fault.
I'll be responsible to the end.
Get in.
I apologize.
It was all my fault.
This is the position of the President.
I must receive an apology from a son who couldn't witness his father's death.
You didn't do anything wrong, Agent Han.
The real culprit is...
elsewhere.
We've arrived.
This is as far as I can take you.
It's okay. Thank you.
Agent Han Tae Kyung.
Your father's belongings...
Did you receive them?
Yes.
If I'm not out of line... would you mind...
telling me what they were?
His cell phone, wallet, and car keys.
Why...
Alright.
Your father...
please send him off well.
Are you a family member of Mr. Han Gi Joon?
What's the matter?
I am Yoon Bo Won from the Seojo Police Station.
The site of your father's accident was on highway 17 connecting Seojo and Chungjoo.
Why was he there?
Do you know the reason?
No.
Does he have any friends or relatives in the area?
No, there's none.
Did you notice anything abnormal about your father recently?
Being anxious or nervous?
I was out of the country for work right before the accident.
I hadn't seen him for a month.
I also want to know why he was found there.
Is that all?
The Traffic Accident Investigation Department has concluded that
your father's accident...
is simply an accident...
resulting from falling asleep behind the wheel.
It isn't then?
In his belongings...
did you see a white envelope?
What are you talking about?
It was about this big.
Nothing like that.
His wallet, cell phone, and his car key. That was all.
Why are you asking?
I'm sorry to bother you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What's the matter with his belongings?
Why did you come?
By chance, if you find out why your father was in Chungjoo...
please give me a call.
Officer Yoon Bo Won of Seojo Police Department.

Die... Will... die.
Will die... What are you...
Hello! Hello!
March 5, 8:05am.
Good morning. It's the morning of March 5th.
Before reporting on the investigation,
President Lee will be at the Presidential villa
in Chungsoodae for an official four day vacation.
We completed the security checks in the Chungsoodae area
including surrounding areas of the Presidential villa.
The armed forces in the Chungsoodae area
found dangerous factors.
During the VIP's stay,
only the permitted boats are allowed on the lake.
Of course, no flying aircraft are allowed in the skies of Chungsoodae.
This is 1 - 6.
One minute before helicopter landing.
10 seconds to VIP landing.
Are things moving according to plan?
We're in progress as you ordered.
It can be risky.
This is very important to me.
Please move according to my orders.
You say you found the victim minutes before he died.
Yes.
Before I went in...
I saw a man leave.
I couldn't see his face clearly.
He looked in his late 20's.
He looked about 6 feet tall.
There's a CCTV in the front of the alley way.
You'll see him there.
What's your relationship to the victim?
He knew my deceased father.
But...
How much longer do I have to be here?
You can go now.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Looking for witnesses. Accident on March 2, 2014.
Hey... here...
Wow! I got it, I got it!
It's so big!
Gosh, it's bloody!
Whenever I play with you, Officer Yoon, I alway end well.
Just calculate...
Alright, alright.
Gwangbak and Peebak...
Again, Gwangbak and Peebak...
Gosh, stop it already.
You'll stay up all night this way.
Boy, oh, boy...
Seojori area from Chungjoo, on highway 17.
Two cars are reported racing dangerously.
I repeat.
Officer Yoon Bo Won from Seojo.
I'll be right there.
An accident on highway 17 going from Seojo to Chungjoo.
Send ambulance right away.
Are you alright?
An ambulance will be here soon.
My document... The envelope...
The envelope...
Please calm down. It's not good to talk.
The ambulance is here.
Please wake up.
The envelope...
They'll take it...
It's very important.
An accidental death?
Our investigation concluded as an accidental death.
But there's an envelope missing from his belongings.
An envelope?
I didn't see it.
What about the car?
We'll total it with family consent because of the damage.
Stop now!
I'm busy!
Wait, Officer Yoon!
Are you still working on this case?
How about it today?
Should we play?
Ah... ma'am... I'm a police officer.
Don't tempt me while I'm working on the case.
Geez... Oh, wait!
The old lady at the farm down there...
That night...
on her way home from the greenhouse...
she saw a car passing through at the same time.
Really?
What did it look like?
Really big...
A white car passed by quickly.
Oh!
On the back of it...
there was a circle shape.
A circle shape?
Back at work so soon?
How about your father's funeral?
Everything went well.
Is something wrong?
Well...
Where is Chief of Security?
He went to Chungsoodae with the VIP.
Why?
I heard something strange.
Me, too.
What did you hear?
The suspect made his confession.
Someone paid him to do it.
If you do as I say, I'll give you this money.
Throw it when I signal you, okay?
Why would anyone pay for that?
If he has a problem with the President, why not do it himself?
Do you think the suspect is lying?
No.
We found who made the request.
What?
It was to get close to the President.
A kind of a... cover.
To get close to the President...
he would do that?
Crazy bastard.
I don't know whether he's crazy or not.
But it's true.
He was captured on the news.
In order to regain people's hearts...
President Lee Dong Hwi visited the street market.
But he had flour thrown at him from a homeless man.
Reporter Joo Dong Man is reporting.
At 2:30pm this afternoon, President Lee Dong Hwi...
This is the guy.
The suspect pointed him out.
It's impossible to identify him from face alone.
We must investigate his intention behind the act.
By chance, did you spot him at the location?
What's wrong?
That guy...
I know who it is.
What?
His name is Yang Dae Ho.
He's a member of the army.
A colonel.
Throw it when I signal, okay?
Early this morning...
March 5th...
His last words were, "The President will die."
He was murdered.
Did you check everything?
Hurry up!
Prepare.
1 - 6, Automobile 8911.
Let it pass without a secret pass.
Bi Pyo - A secretly marked pass.
He's accompanied by the Director of Presidential Office.
He's the VIP's personal guest.
This is it.
Are you sure this was delivered to the President?
The Manager of the Presidential Office witnessed the delivery.
He received it from the President and confirmed it.
I sent it in for analysis in case of poison.
Nothing was found.
Please give me alley way commercial rights.
Yang Dae Ho was an army officer.
He never owned a market.
But...
we didn't find anything suspicious from this note.
That's because we assumed it was passed on by a citizen.
There's definitely something there.
1250 + 2005 = 1007
Was it written here originally?
Yeah.
What are you doing now?
It's the code book we used during the street market event.
Code?
But that's...
top secret only known by agents.
As an army colonel, Yang Dae Ho had access to classified information.
What if he knew about this?
What are the first few numbers?
1250.
Event location.
Next is...
2005.
Expected.
The last numbers are...
1007.
Assassination.
Are you saying, Colonel Yang...
tried to warn of an assassination attempt?
Nonsense...
Who in the world...
Why would he try to kill the President?
For now, you make the report.
Investigate Colonel Yang's death.
The one who killed Colonel Yang must've killed
him in order to hide the assassination attempt.
When we catch the suspect, we'll know why Yang Dae Ho did this.
And why someone would plan such a thing.
And you?
I'll go to Chungsoodae.
Even if you report to superiors...
the Secret Service won't move easily.
Do you think all this is true?
I hope it all isn't true.
But if it's true...
Yang Dae Ho told me this clearly.
The President will die.
We don't have much time.
I'll report this personally.
We must prepare just in case.
1 - 6, the guest is leaving accompanied by the Director of the Presidential Office.
Let them pass without the secret pass.
Hurry, we're out of time.
Yes.
1 - 6, the VIP is going fishing.
Thick fog has made the levee road too dangerous.
I'm closing the road.
Road 22.
There's a report of a broken traffic signal.
Requesting confirmation.
Over.
Gosh...
Good work.
I'm performing an inspection.
Did you have any alcohol?
You drive rough.
I'm sorry.
I've never driven on this road.
What brings you out here?
Reporting on a request to fix a repeater.
But...
You're not the same driver as last time.
2036, requesting the status on Road 30.
The road is dangerous because of thick fog.
I'll leave as soon as I check it out.
Don't worry.
In the back of the car,
there was a circle shape.
What could that be?
I'm Secret Service Agent, Han Tae Kyung.
I'm here to see the Chief of the Secret Service.
Please give me your ID and secret pass.
Please call the Chief of Police.
He will confirm my identity.
You can't come in without an ID.
It's urgent!
Call the Chief of Police!
A bomb... Isn't it?
March 5, 20:00
Hey!
Hello?
You can't hear me?
What?
Ah, you know...
What's going on all of a sudden?
Black out!
No...
There is a black out.
Black out. Black out!
Black out!
Call the fishing location! Hurry!
No...
How in the world can this happen inside the Chungsoodae?
What did you do in a week?
How about the fishing location?
All dead.
Shoot flares. He may still be alive.
How's the President?
Tae Kyung stole the inside information.
Someone shot the President.
How do you know about that?
There's no evidence that your father's death is connected to this incident.
Everything is becoming more clear.
This is impossible without inside help.
Are you suspicious of the Secret Service?
The most prominent suspect to Colonel Yang Dae Ho's death is...
Agent Han Tae Kyung.
