February, 1998.
Episode 4
Hey, you slackers!
Hello!
Take care!
It's not like that.
Then what?
Good evening!
You're working so hard!
Good evening.
Boy, enjoying your dinner.
Good work!
Why don't you join us for a glass?
I have to make my rounds.
Enjoying a nice stroll?
You're working so hard.
Yeah... He works so hard.
I know.
What was that?
We must find the President first.
And this time...
be sure to kill him.
Did you...
really shoot the President?
But why?
Why, Chief?
Are you going to kill me too?
Calling me a traitor?
Do you think others will believe you?
Why don't you stop?
Your plan failed.
The President is alive.
No.
The President will die today.
I don't know who you were talking to but...
Agent Han Tae Kyung will...
protect the President.
If they hear gunshots again,
they'll be suspicious of me.
March 5th, 23:40, 3 hours and 40 minutes after the shooting.
What's going on?
Oh... I'm sorry.
Geez, what in the world...
Sir.
What's going on?
I thought I saw Agent Han Tae Kyung.
Didn't you dispatch together?
I saw him on the railway platform.
What did you just say?
Are you sure?
Yes.
Sang Kyu.
Jung Rae.
Listen to me carefully.
Tae Kyung tried to harm the VIP but failed. He's on the run right now.
From now on, we're treating Han Tae Kyung as a fugitive. Got it?
Tae Kyung?
Didn't you just hear me?
Han Tae Kyung can't find the VIP before us.
Got it?
Spotted Agent Han Tae Kyung in car 3.
I repeat. Spotted Agent Han Tae Kyung in car 3.
This is an emergency.
Seize Agent Han Tae Kyung immediately and report back to me.
I repeat.
He's wearing a black cap and khaki jacket.
Han Tae Kyung.
Found Han Tae Kyung. He's running toward car 6.
We got him, hurry!
Han Tae Kyung.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
What are they doing to him?
How did you know to come here?
Did you know the President would be here?
Answer me.
Answer me!
Do you know where the President is?
Han Tae Kyung.
Yes.
I know.
How?
No... Where is he now?
If the Secret Service finds out...
he'll be in danger.
Don't play around. Answer me.
Sir.
We've been deceived.
Watch Han Tae Kyung carefully.
Han Tae Kyung deceived us.
Why don't you go after him?
Are there agents in the front?
No.
Tae Kyung cornered us.
Hey, move.
There are passengers.
No guns.
What should we do then?
He's on the train anyhow.
We'll control the train.
1007.
Car 10...
Seat 7.
Ladies and gentlemen, this train will be stopping for a signal change.
The signal change is an excuse.
We can only stop for ten minutes.
Yes, thank you for your cooperation.
Did you request police backup?
Yes, I did.
Who are you?
What are you talking about?
Is this your seat?
Was there anyone else here?
Which station did you get on? Were you always sitting here?
Why are you asking me these questions?
I'm a Blue House Secret Service agent. Please answer me.
The Blue House Secret Service.
Did President Lee also send you?
I'm sure I told you very clearly. My investigation is by the book.
Go back and tell the President what I said.
What are you talking about?
What are you...
Choi Ji Hoon... Special Prosecutor.
You're right.
I'm Choi Ji Joon, the prosecutor investigating
the LED magnet company allegations.
Team one, search inside the train. Team two, search outside.
Yes, sir.
What did you say earlier?
Didn't you come to say the same thing?
What are you talking about?
The President tried to stop the investigation
by sending the Secretary to me several times.
Several times...
I won't allow interference with the investigation.
Secretary to the President.
Secretary Han Gi Joon?
Please leave.
I have nothing more to say.
Results of the investigation...
Is it true the President is guilty of stock fraud?
I asked you to leave.
By chance, the LED magnet company management...
About the allegations...
Is the Classified Document 98 relevant?
Where did you hear about that document?
What exactly...
is the Classified Document 98?
What's in it?
I can't tell you.
I'm the son of Secretary Han Gi Joon.
My father...
He died because of that document.
What exactly is in that document?
The President and your deceased father...
they tried to cover up their dirty past.
Got it?
Reinforce the perimeter patrol.
Sir.
There is no sign of the President inside.
Get on the train.
Get on.
What do you mean dirty past?
What is that exactly?
What is it exactly?
Get him!
Hey!
Hey, carry him out!
Stay! Get out!
What is it exactly?
Come!
What is it exactly?
He's not here.
Do you know Agent Han Tae Kyung?
I don't know him.
Did you plan on meeting him here?
No.
Did you see anyone else here?
No.
I'm the last person to get on this car. Satisfied?
What did you and Agent Han Tae Kyung talk about?
What did he ask you?
Are you guys from the Blue House Secret Service?
The Secret Service has authority to arrest but not investigate.
What right do you have to interrogate me?
Why don't you ask Agent Han Tae Kyung directly if you're that curious?
I have nothing more to say.
Where is the President?
I don't know.
I don't know what mistakes you made.
But...
you're also a Blue House Secret Service agent.
Our duty is to protect the President.
Where is...
the President?
That's what I also want to know.
I, too...
want to know
where the President is.
I can't stop the train any longer...
Yes, I understand.
Sir.
What should we do?
Have the agents aboard continue their search inside.
The rest can return to Chungsoodae.
Yes, sir.
Take him.
Good work!
Get in here.
Agent Na.
Yes.
I'll take him from here.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Freeze!
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
The Blue House Secret Service is requesting vehicle support.
Dispatch the vehicles near Yongsuri to the Yongsuri railroad tracks.
Confirm, I'll be right there.
Working hard!
Should we take this car?
I'll lead from here. You join the team.
Yes, sir.
I'll take it from here. You can return.
You can say I threatened you.
You'll freeze to death in this weather.
Wear this.
And...
you drive.
You drive better than me.
I'm not too happy about driving with you.
Let's put our heads together since we're on the same case.
Go back.
Sticking around me will get you accused as an accomplice.
An accomplice for what?
Attempting to assassinate the President?
Do you even know what you're getting yourself into?
Do you know how many people died in my town?
Your father isn't the only victim.
What did you just say?
They also died in the fire the night Secretary Han died.
A two-star general and the former Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
Former top-ranking government officials died together.
Not one article was written about it.
If my assumption is correct,
your father's killer also killed these people.
They're targeting the President now.
Why...
are they doing this?
The President and your deceased father...
they tried to cover up their dirty past.
There is one person who can answer why all this is happening.
I have to find the President.
Hello, Secretary.
Is the Chief in the building?
The Chief of Staff went to Chungsoodae for an emergency.
Please connect the call to him.
Chief Secretary of Civil Affairs Hong Jin Soo.
He asked not be disturbed.
Call him now!
Summon all secretary heads and divisions to the Blue House.
Which divisions are you talking about?
Everyone! Don't leave anyone out!
We can't even find the President.
Agent Han Tae Kyung ran away.
Good going...
The female officer driving the vehicle escaped with Agent Han Tae Kyung.
Agent Hwang Yoon Jae is dazed.
I apologize.
Who is the female officer?
Officer Yoon Bo Won from Seojo Police Station.
We told the local area police.
She and Agent Han are on the Wanted List.
Have the agents at the Chungjoo Station reported in?
No, they still haven't found anything.
Chief, at the Chungjoo Station...
I know, I heard.
For sure...
something has happened to the President.
I'll ask for outside support at the Blue House.
How about vehicle 8911?
What are you talking about?
If the President went to the Chungjoo Station,
vehicle 8911 should've been found in the parking lot.
But... vehicle 8911 wasn't discovered...
in the parking lot or anywhere else.
The dead Presidential Bodyguard Director placed his team at the railway station.
The President was heading to Chungjoo Station.
But the President didn't show.
Then, something happened on his way over.
We must locate vehicle 8911.
No.
I can't wait for the Secret Service any longer.
There will be greater chaos
if we let the world know.
Give me thirty minutes.
I'll find the President in time.
Thirty minutes.
This is Shin Kyu Jin.
It's Chief Secretary for Civil Affairs.
I need to talk to the President right away.
This isn't a good time.
I just met with the special prosecution team.
The prosecution is releasing their results early.
Didn't you say the allegations will be proven false?
Yes.
But...
They opened another corruption case during the investigation.
What are you saying?
Corruption case?
What case is that?
We'll stop the result from being release any way we can.
But the President needs to return to the Blue House immediately
and we need to verify.
Please tell me which case you're talking about.
Secretary.
If this is true...
the entire administration will be shaken.
If you're talking about an administration shake up...
we're talking impeachment.
Please tell me the details.
I understand.
I'll call you back.
Chief, what is it?
By chance...
did the Blue House find out what's going on here?
Did you say thirty minutes?
In thirty minutes...
will you be able to find the President?
Yes.
I'll give you thirty minutes.
Within that time...
you must bring the President.
Can you promise me that?
I promise.
I'll bring him back myself.
What's the shortest path to Chungjoo Station from Chungsoodae?
There's a freeway from Chungjoo IC.
Or you can take highway 35 and cut across downtown Chungjoo.
Other than that, he could've used the levee road.
As a shortcut, you can use highway 27 and go through the mountains.
We'll divide up in four teams and check four directions.
Search thoroughly and report!
Yes, sir!
The President was certainly heading for Chungjoo Station.
If he didn't make it to the station,
it means something happened on the way.
We should search the road leaving to Chungjoo Station from Chungsoodae.
Yes.
He could've used the freeway or...
He could've used highway 27 as a shortcut.
The levee road...
he could've used highway 35 as well.
The Secret Service is...
also looking for vehicle 8911.
We must find him first.
What time did you say the President left Chungsoodae?
Last night...
around 7:20.
7:20 last night.
If he drove through on the levee road...
What's wrong?
Let's go to the levee road.
What are you saying?
If the President drove through the levee road at 7:20 last night,
he must've taken the detour.
What do you mean?
I... was there.
Is that it?
Yes, it connects to highway 27.
Vehicle 8911 with the President...
was on this road.
I don't understand it at all.
Without telling the Secret Service or the Presidential Secretary...
why...
why would he go to the Chungjoo Railroad Station?
On that train...
did you say special prosecutor Choi Ji Hoon was on it?
Yes.
The President tried to stop him.
He tried to stop the special prosecution any way possible.
Please move.
Step aside.
I heard about the corruption charges against
President Lee's LCD magnet company.
Do you have any evidence? Please answer.
When will you make your announcement?
What is the open source intelligence?
Were the allegations proven?
How did the information leak?
I don't know the source.
The Blue House, the prosecution, the Ministry of Justice...
Everyone's looking for you.
This is Seochodong.
Hold on please.
Team Manager.
The Ministry of Justice office.
How is the news conference preparation?
All preparations are complete.
What should I do?
The announcement...
should we postpone it?
Team manager.
Cancel the news conference scheduled for today.
Are we withdrawing at this point?
I only said we're canceling the time.
We can't let so many of our guests wait too long.
Are there any fallen rocks on this road?
No.
How about a landslide?
Or... are there wild animals?
Is there a threat of danger?
No.
It's curved because it goes around the mountain.
It's not that dangerous if you're careful.
Did you say the road goes around the mountain?
Yes.
Give me the map.
Is this the road we're on?
Yes.
This road...
It goes around Chungsoodae.
It goes around more, so cars won't use it that often.
How long did it take for us to drive here from the levee road?
Probably... around twenty minutes?
Five minutes to the levee road from Chungsoodae.
They probably couldn't drive fast enough because of thick fog.
Thirty minutes to this point.
If he was on this road...
By chance...
We found it!
We found vehicle 8911.
Please confirm.
Where is it?
The VIP?
No one's in the car.
If the President's car...
came on this road...
It would've been hit by the EMP.
Hello, hello!
Hey, I can't hear you.
What I'm saying is...
Did this car...
get hit by the EMP?
Yes.
Affected by the EMP?
Yes.
I'm sure you know. EMP destroys cell phones, cars, radios...
all electronic devices are paralyzed.
The EMP went off at eight last night.
It's already after 1am.
Then...
where can the President be?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Did you get hurt?
More importantly...
what's happening?
We searched all surrounding areas.
Nothing was found in a ten mile radius.
You're alone with the President.
And the car stops...
There is a problem with the vehicle.
There appears to be a blackout.
Presidential Bodyguard Director Lim Gun Young
You should go back to Chungsoodae.
I'll call Chungsoodae.
No car or cell phones.
You're alone with the President.
You can't contact Chungsoodae.
I'm sure the Presidential Bodyguard Director asked the President to return.
But...
The President probably didn't.
I don't feel good about this.
You should go back.
They'll just nag me about this when I go back.
No, I don't want to go back.
But...
This is the first time in two years.
Excuse me?
Ever since becoming President...
it's never been this quiet.
There's only one way to the Chungjoo Station without a car from here.
A bus?
Do you know that bus' route?
Of course, I do.
But do you think the President would've gotten on a bus?
I'm sure he did since there is no other way.
You can't just walk the President several miles.
You said you knew the bus route.
Fortunately, the special prosecution team canceled the announcement.
Never mind the special prosecution.
- National Security Chief, Shin Young Sup - Public Relations Chief, Park Won Young
I heard there was a massive blackout in the Chungsoodae area.
Is the President safe?
The Chief of Staff is down there.
He'll bring him back.
For now, the news conference has been canceled.
Verify.
We need to verify.
What is it?
We have a problem.
What's going on?
Turn on the TV.
Didn't you say the news conference has been canceled?
The LCD magnet company the President Lee managed...
The special prosecution team who has been investigating the stock fraud allegations.
The special prosecution hit us from behind.
Are you watching TV?
It's early in the morning.
The prosecution expected to comment on President Lee.
The news conference was initially scheduled for this morning.
But we don't understand why the early release.
The reason for the early announcement is
to signify the prosecution is
not intimidated by the sitting President.
But... Would it be really okay?
This investigation was about the stock fraud allegations.
We can be attacked for breaking the prosecution law.
This investigation wasn't only for the LCD company stock fraud allegations.
It was investigating rampant corruption in the people involved.
However...
This is...
different from any previous cases.
Who is willing to step forward against a sitting President?
Only us.
We have to wrap this up.
Please sit down.
President Lee Dong Hwi Special Investigation News Conference.
The special investigation team will comment on the stock fraud allegations.
Ingyung... Seojori... Chungjoo
I called the bus company.
So... Did you confirm the return of bus 7?
No, it didn't return.
That bus passes through Seojori and goes to downtown Chungjoo.
But he could've gotten off and taken a taxi in the middle.
Let's go before they notice us.
What?
Wait.
There is a huge accident involving a bus on the highway.
That bus...
The President was on that bus.
Bus 7 was in a huge accident after passing through around 8:10pm
It was a huge accident with twenty-five people injured.
The passengers were sent to two local area hospitals.
Find out which hospitals.
We'll move in two teams.
When you find the VIP, report to me...
immediately!
Understand?
Yes, sir.
Do you have a transportation pass?
Yes.
Gosh...
The President is so pathetic.
I don't even have a transportation pass.
But... will you really be okay?
If the passengers recognize you...
You think they'd recognize me?
Who recognizes me?
In a suit...
surrounded by Presidential Bodyguards...
With all the fanfare... Tah-dah!
They'll discover I'm the President.
Dressed in normal clothes...
I become one of them riding on a village bus like this.
But...
Why are you going to Chungjoo Station?
Won't you... tell me?
I'll see you on March 5th.
Until then... be careful, everyone.
What's going on?
All the street lights are out.
In 1998,
while tracking funds for the LCD magnet
company which President Lee Dong Hwi managed
an unimaginable crime surfaced...
that is a threat to national security.
Our results may cause great chaos in the Republic of Korea.
Uncovering the truth for the people is our most important duty.
We hope to uncover everything.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
Here's a list of local hospitals.
Go straight.
Fire extinguisher, hurry!
Over there!
Lee Cha Young, what happened?
Why are you here?
We must stop him.
We must stop him!
On February, 1998, in Yangjinri near the East Sea,
about ten North Korean spies killed 24 and injured 19 including civilians.
It was one of the worst atrocities.
Current status, upgraded to one jindo.
All armed forces on alert.
Coordinate location 505, near waters of Yangjinri.
We discovered a North Korean submarine.
I repeat.
Current status, upgraded to one jindo.
Coordinate location 505, near waters of Yangjinri.
We discovered a North Korean submarine.
Did the North Korean army infiltrate?
Repeat your training.
Understand?
Yes.
Penetrate the location swiftly.
Operation location secured.
Troop 13, move!
What's your current status?
We responded to villagers. It's crazy here!
Police officers and civilians are injured.
They're armed, so we can't go in there.
Please transport the civilians as soon as the ambulance arrives.
My mother is still in there.
Please rescue my mother.
The people in the restaurant haven't come out yet.
My son is still in there. Please get my son.
How long before the snipers are in position?
About twenty minutes.
No.
We must first know their number and location.
Civilian lives are at stake.
There will certainly be more casualties.
This is a real situation.
Acting rash will get us hurt.
Our goal is to save more lives.
I'll take the blame.
Immediately...
we'll all move into the village.
At the time, the newspapers reported the Yangjinri incident
North Korea acting on its own.
But our investigation
reveals this incident was carefully orchestrated.
This was a premeditated crime.
The suspect orchestrating this crime is
someone working as a US Falcons consultant.
It was President Lee Dong Hwi.
What is the truth about President Lee Dong Hwi?
In the midst of whirlwind of the investigation team's announcement.
The Blue House homepage is overloaded with people demanding the truth.
Aren't you afraid?
Those responsible for the Yangjinri incident...
They're still are still in power.
And...
they're hidden behind a mask to avoid suspicion.
They're even respected members of society.
That's...
what I'm afraid of.
For not being able to reveal that...
How cruel those people really are.
For their own benefit...
Not being able to reveal what they did.
I'm afraid of that.
According to the special prosecution team,
not only President Lee Dong Hwi,
but Secretary Han Gi Joon who died on March 2nd,
the former army infantry head, General Kim Ki Bum,
and Colonel Yang Dae Ho are all connected to this incident.
If true, the expected impact of this investigation will be historic.
Everything...
all of it...
is a lie.
March 6th, 01:15, 5 hours and 15 minutes after the shooting.
Is that true?
The shooter is a member of the Secret Service?
Good going, Secret Service...
Search the ER, restrooms, break rooms!
We must find him first.
Someone must die in order to end this fight.
The deceased Secretary Han Gi Joon...
There's something wrong.
Was named as an accomplice to President Lee Dong Hwi.
The President must die...
in order for us to live.
