Sixteen years ago and now
you always ask for hard favors.
Because we've been friends for a long time.
This is Cheongwadae Secretary Office.
This is Han Gyu Shin. I need to speak with the President.
Can I also ask for a favor?
He has stopped communicating with us for right now.
This is an emergency, it's important.
Sir?
Don't do anything.
Everything you intend to do,
don't do it.
Also, for the future, let's stop meeting this way.
If you have something to say please make an appointment to see me.
At the Blue House.
Do you have anything else to do?
No.
Let's return.
Episode 1
March 2nd : 08:37 A.M.
Excuse me, I am looking for a patient.
I heard he was admitted to this hospital after an accident in Cheongjo this morning.
Please go this way.
This is the evidence that came from the accident.
Is it your father's stuff?
He was found on Route 17 near Cheongjo.
They think that he was driving when he was sleep deprived.
Dad,
are you working hard to be all right?
Right?
Performance Team 2 Hwang Yun Je
President Lee Dong Hwi, who promised us that Korea will become more powerful and people will become well off,
had an approval rating of 90%,
but after 3 years into his presidency,
it's declined to the teens in percentage.
The company that he owned in 1998,
is under investigation for insider trading.
If the allegation of
insider trading is proven,
President Lee Dong Hwi's administration will be questioned on their ethics.
However, the President is trying to gain people's approval by visiting the market place,
it seems hard to change their minds at this point.
The perimeter that the VIP (the President) will be visiting today is about 100 meters.
Out of the stores he intends to visit Ham Bong Soo, Chief of the Presidential Security Service (PSS)
is a restaurant named "Bo Sung Boon Shik."
From 7 days ago, we finished the 1st security check.CP Chief Moon Seong Min
Today, we'll be monitoring it continuously.
What about the VIPs?
They are leaving in 5 minutes.Presidential Security Service Department Head Kim Sang Hui
Hey, can't you hurry a bit?
Are you crazy?
Han Tae-Kyung
aren't you in your right mind?
Why are you late?
I'm sorry.
That's enough, hurry up.
VIP is moving towards the main entrance.
The VIP has left Cheongwadae [Blue House].
He will arrive in 30 minutes.
Agent 9881, VIP 1250 will arrive in 30 minutes.
Please supervise from the point he will leave the car.
Please turn off your car. No problem. Car arriving.
You just have to peel it like this.
At point 308. We're stationed at all buildings with direct vision to the secured route. (To prevent snipers)
Eagle 6. VIP is ready to arrive in 10 seconds. Change the signals.
There were no calls from
Chief Han Ki Jun?
Yes, there were none.
What are you doing?
Is something wrong?
No, there's nothing.
They are crossing the bridge.
5 minutes before arrival.
Agent 9881, VIP 1250
is arriving in 5 minutes.
As you all know,
the easiest place to cause harm to the President is at the market place.
Market place has number of people we can't count,
and we can't post security checks there due to the nature of the location.
It's impossible to check for weapons or bombs.
All of you, get yourselves together.
10 seconds before V.I.P. 1250 arrives. 9 seconds.
8 seconds, 7 seconds
Your father is in critical condition. Please contact us immediately
4 seconds. 3 seconds.
2 seconds. 1 second.
Arrived.
The President has arrived, applause!
So nice to meet you, it's an honor!
Thank you very much! Hello!
Hello!
Everybody please move out of the way!
Please take this sir! Fruits!
Hello, hello.
Please take this too.
Ah, delicious.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
Thank you.
These are rice cookies made from...
Please try this.
At 9882, V.I.P is 10 meters away.
Please control the pedestrians.
It matches you.
11 o'clock direction. Stop him!
What is it?
What's happening?
Where's the VIP?
Performance team, report on the situation.
Performance team, report on the situation!
Performance team, report on the situation. Report on the situation.
Performance team, reply me.
( Inaudible )
We're evacuating the VIP.
What about the VIP? Is he unharmed?
Performance team! Report on the situation.
We're moving to the car.
Oh my, what happened?
Like this, get him.
Hey, clean this up!
Hey,
are you insane?
Is this more important now?
What are you doing?
Your father passed away just now.
If that wasn't flour
but a bomb,
we would've lost the VIP.
Do you know what that means?
Whatever reason it is,
you cannot miss the point.
Is it this guard?
Yes.
Everything is my fault.
I'm ready to accept any punishment.
On every news outlet,
pictures of the flour-covered President fleeing
have become the wallpaper.
It's worse on the Internet.
But,
do those pictures go away when you get punished?
Will everything that happened today disappear?
Please stop now.
Are you protecting him because he's a member of the Presidential Security Service?
The Presidential Security Service was absolutely against today's event.
A market place event is dangerous?
Do you think the secretary's office planned the event because we didn't know?
Isn't it Presidential Security Service's job to get rid of the danger?
The person who's responsible for Presidential Security Service is the chief, which is me.
If you have a problem with the Presidential Security Service, you can talk to me.
Then, will you resign instead of him?
The Presidential Security Service Agent, Han Tae Kyeong is the son of the Chief Economist, Han Ki Jun.
We just received a call 30 minutes ago.
Early this morning,
he was comatose after a car accident,
he passed away during the event.
It's my fault.
Just as you said, no matter what,
even if my father passed away, I'm the one who missed the point.
The Presidential Security Service will punish him accordingly.
So, please stop.
Give back your ID and your badge. You're under disciplinary confinement.
Go. The eldest son should be at the funeral.
I'll leave after I report to the Administration of Legal Affairs.
It's okay, so just leave!
No.
It's my fault, so I'll take full responsibility.
Please get in.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
This is what being a president is like.
Having to accept an apology from a son who couldn't attend his father's deathbed.
You are not at fault.
The person who's really at fault is someone else.
We've arrived.
I'm going to have to leave you now.
It's okay. Thank you.
Secret Service Agent, Han Tae Kyeong.
The things that were left behind by your father,
did you receive them?
Yes.
If it's not too impolite,
can you tell me what kind of things they were?
They were his cellphone, his wallet, and his car keys.
Why...
I got it.
Your father,
please send him off well.
Are you a family member of Han Ki Jun?
What is it about?
I'm Police Sergeant Constable Yoon Bo Won from the Seojo branch.
The place your dad had his accident was at Route 17, an intersection of Cheongjo and Seojori.
Do you know why your father went there?
No.
Are there any friends or family nearby?
There aren't any.
Did your father act weird lately?
Did he seem anxious or nervous?
Before the accident, I was out of the country because of work.
For a month, I couldn't see my father.
I want to know why my father was there too. Are you satisfied?
At the Department of Transportation, your father's accident
was determined as just an accident
caused by sleep deprivation.
Are you saying it's not?
Out of the things that were left by your father, did you find a white envelope?
What are you saying?
It was this big.
There was no such thing.
Wallet, cellphone, and car keys were the only things there.
Exactly, why are you being like this?
I'm sorry for doing this during mourning.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What is wrong with the stuff that was left behind?
Why did you come here?
If,
you find out why your father went to Cheongjo,
please give me a call.
Yoon Bo Won

Han Tae Kyeong
Security Service Agent...
March 5th,
the President
will die.
What exactly do you mean?
Hey, hey!
March 5th 8:05AM
Hello, it's a beautiful morning on March 5th.
President Lee Dong Hwi is planning on spending 3 nights and 4 days
at his private villa in Cheongsoodae.
Over here.
We've finished all the security checks on the surrounding areas as well as where VIP will stay.
We found all the things that could be dangerous by Cheongsoodae.
While VIP is staying, you can enter through the lake or the allowed entrance.
Of course, all air launching is prohibited.
This is Eagle 6. 1 minute before arrival.
10 seconds before VIP landing.
Is it going as planned?
I'm planning it as you've instructed, but
it could be dangerous.
It's very important to me.
Please follow my wishes.
You're saying that by the time you found victim, he was about to die.
Yes.
Before I came in, I saw a man leave the house.
I didn't see his face, but
he looked in his late 20s.
His height was about 185cm.
There is a CCTV in front of the alley.
You could check that.
But, what is your relationship to the victim?
He was an acquaintance of my deceased father.
But,
how long do I have to stay here?
You can leave now. Thank you for your cooperation.
Looking for a witness. An accident occurred on March 2, 2014,
involving a passenger driving a black vehicle. If you are a witness, please contact us.
-I won again! -Wow, you won big!
Aigoo... it's a land of pi. (terminology from a Korean card game)
If I play with you, I win all the time!
-Calculate your winnings. -Got it.
You got Gwang Bak, and Pi Bak.
You got Gwang Bak and Pi Bak.
Aigoo... stop playing. You're going to be up all night!
Seriously...
There has been a report saying two cars are dangerously driving. Repeat.
This is Yoon Bo Won in Seojo. I'll be going over there.
Route 17, Seojori to Cheongjo bound, there's a car accident.
An ambulance is needed as soon as possible. This is an emergency.
Confidential Document 98'
Are you okay? The ambulance will be here soon.
D..document...
Stay calm. It'll be worse if you try to speak.
The ambulance has arrived. Please regain conscious.
The...doc...documents...
They'll be looking for them.
They're very important.
A normal accident?
From our side, it was decided that it was just a normal car accident.
But it seems like a file envelope was missing from the left valuables.
A file envelope?
I didn't see that.
What about the car?
The damage was so severe so we got an agreement from the family to destroy the car.
Stop it now. I'm busy.
Uh, here, Sergeant Constable Yoon!
You're still handling this case?
What do you say?
Should we play once?
Aish really, Grandma. I'm a police officer.
I have to work, so please don't tempt me.
Aigoo!
Aigoo, that, a grandmother from Seojong Farm said this, but,
that day
She saw a passing car at that time.
Really? Did she know what the car looked like?
It was really big.
A white car passed by quickly.
Oh right, there is something round behind it.
Something round?
You're already out?
What about your father's funeral?
Oh, it went well.
Is something wrong?
Just...
Do you know where the Chief is?
He went down to Cheongsoodae with the VIP. Why?
It is because I heard something strange.
I did so too.
What is it?
The perpetrator confessed,
but he received an order from someone.
I will give you this money if you do me a favor.
Throw it when I give you the signal. Do you understand?
Why in the world would someone give him a bribe for something like that?
If he has some sort of dissatisfactions against the President,
shouldn't he throw it himself? Don't you think the suspect is lying to get out of it?
No. We found the person who gave him the money.
What?
He did that so he could get closer to the President.
It was some sort of disguise.
He did that so he could get closer to the President...
Is he crazy?
Even though I don't know about any craziness,
it was found to be true. He was caught on the news.
President Lee Dong Hwi who visited the market place to get public sentiment...
received a handful of flour in his face today.
Here is the report from Reporter Joo Dong Man.
President Lee Dong Hwi came to this neighborhood at 2:30 today...
This is the person.
The victim confirmed it himself.
It is impossible to get his identity only by his face.
And I think I need to investigate as to why he did it.
Have you seen this person at the crime seen?
What is it?
This person,
I know who it is.
What?
His name is Yang Dae Ho.
The General of the Army.
Throw it when I give you the signal. Do you understand?
Today, at dawn,
March 5th,
saying that the President will die as his last words,
he was murdered.
Did you finish checking?
- Yes. - Come up.
Hurry up! Get ready fast!
Kim Gyu Shik. Plate number 8911. Let him pass.
They have arrived. He is a guest of the V.I.P.
Here.
Are you sure he gave this to the President?
Head of Department witnessed the note being passed,
and checked it after the President gave it to him.
We checked if there was poison on the paper,
but nothing dangerous was found.
Yang Dae Ho was a general in the army.
He has never run something like a supermarket.
But nothing suspicious has been found on this note.
It wasn't found because they thought a civilian passed the note.
There must be something.
1250 + 2005 = 1007
Was this here since the beginning, too?
What are you doing now?
That's the code note that we used at the market.
Code?
But It's a top secret data used among the Presidential Security Service.
General Yang Dae Ho was someone who dealt with secret information.
What if that person knew about it?
What's the first number?
1250
1250 Event location
Next, 2005.
2005 To be scheduled
Finally,
1007.
1007 Assassination
"1007 Assassination"
General Yang Dae Ho...
was trying to let us know about an assassination?
No way.
Who in the world would...
Why would someone kill the President?
First, you report it to the people above, and find out about Yang Dae Ho's case.
There's a high probability that the one who killed Yang Dae Ho wanted to hide the assassination attempt.
If we could find the culprit,
we could find out why someone would do something like this.
What about you?
I'm going to Cheongsoodae.
Even if we report it, the Presidential Security Service won't move easily.
Do you think this is real?
I'm also hoping for it to not be real.
But, what if it is the truth?
Yang Dae Ho definitely said this to me,
"The President will die."
There isn't much time left.
I will go down myself and report it.
The guest is going back.
Let him pass without any problem.
No Entry If you need to enter, please receive permission.
-Set up quickly. -Yes!
Eagle 6, VIP is moving to the fishing pond.
Cheongsuho, 5km.
The road is too dangerous because of the dense fog.
I'm going to close off the road.
On Road 22, there has been
a report of a broken traffic light. Please check and report.
Got it.
Ah, really.
Jaesin Telecom
Good evening.
I'm going to ask you some questions.
Did you drink?
Your driving is very tough.
I'm sorry. It's my first time here.
What brings you here?
There was a report saying that the repeater is broken.
You're not the technician that came last time.
Please check Road 30.
This road is dangerous today because of the fog.
I'll just check and will be going back soon.
Don't worry.
Scheduled time is 20:00 hrs. (8:00 p.m.)
Don't be late. Not even by a split second.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
On the back of the car, she said there was a round design.
Cheongsuho 5km
What is that?
I'm a Presidential Security Service Agent, Han Tae Kyeong.
I came to meet the Chief of Security Service.
I need your ID.
Please notify him.
He'll be able to identify me.
You cannot enter without an ID.
It's urgent!
Call them!
Force one.
It's not a bomb?
March 5th, 20:00.
Ah, ah, hey.
Hello.
Can't you hear?
What? I mean if it's that bad then... what?
What happened?
Aigo, what is this suddenly?
There's blackout!
Blackout! Blackout!
No way.
Sector 13, there's a blackout.
Blackout, blackout!
- At master, there's a blackout. - Sector 3, a blackout.
Call the fishing area! Hurry!
Now what to do?
Do you really think it's an inside job?
What have you done for a week?
Death only at the fishing area.
Run a little more. He may be alive.
What happened to the President?
I'm sure he gave away inside intelligence.
Someone is after the President.
How do you know that?
There's no evidence that this has to do with your father's death.
I'm becoming more and more sure of it.
It's impossible without a help from the inside.
Are you suspecting the Presidential Security Service?
The most obvious suspect for General Yang Dae Ho's incident
is the Security Service Agent, Han Tae Kyeong.
