16 years later, March 2, 2014
Sixteen years ago and now
you always ask for hard favors.
Because we've been friends for a long time.
This is Cheongwadae ("the Blue House") Secretary Office.
This is Han Gi Jun. I need to speak with the President.
Can I also ask for a favor?
He has stopped communicating with us at present.
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 Cheongju this morning.
Please go this way.
This is the article found from the accident site.
Is it your father's stuff?
As per the emergency crew, he was found on Route 17 near Cheongju.
They think that he was driving when he was sleep deprived.
Dad,
you're okay, 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 Special Prosecutor is vigorously pursing his investigation of stock price manipulation
of Moby Asset Management which President Lee Dong Hwi ran in 1998.
If the allegation of stock price manipulation
against Mobi Asset Management is proven true,
a sharp blow against the ethics of President Lee's administration is expected.
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, the local officers finished the 1st security check.CP Chief Moon Seong Min
Today, the advance team has been monitoring it continuously.
What about the VIP?
He is leaving in 5 minutes.Presidential Security Service Department Head Kim Sang Hui
Hey, can't you hurry a bit?
Are you crazy?
Han Tae Kyeong
are 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 manage the area 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. the VIP is about to arrive in 10 seconds. Change the signals.
There were no calls from
Chief Han Gi 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.
The market place has countless numbers of people,
and we can't post security checks there due to the nature of the location.
It's actually impossible to check for weapons or bombs.
All of you, get yourselves together.
10 seconds before VIP 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 Korean rice.
Please try this.
This is 9882. V.I.P is 10 meters away from Point 103.
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.
Performance Team! Get the car ready!
Oh my, what happened?
Make him stand up! You, stay here!
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? Chief Secretary Shin Kyu Jin
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,
if you are punished, will those pictures disappear?
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 Gi 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 appropriately.
So, please stop.
Turn in 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 for 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.
Security 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 Gi 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 Cheongju 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 whom your father was going to meet in Cheongju,
please give me a call.
Yoon Bo Won

On March 5th,
the President

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 , from today onward, to spend 3 nights and 4 days
at his private villa in Cheongsoodae before the result of Special Prosecution's investigation is announced.
Over here.
We've finished all the security checks on the surrounding areas as well as where the VIP will stay.
We found all the things that could be dangerous by Cheongsoodae.
While VIP is staying, only the authorized boats can enter through the lake.
Of course, all fly-overs are prohibited.
This is Eagle 6. 1 minute before arrival.
10 seconds before VIP's 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 the 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.

You also got Gwang Bak and Pi Bak.
Aigoo... stop playing. You're going to be up all night!
Seriously...
On Route 17, Seojori to Cheongjo bound
there has been a report saying two cars are driving dangerously 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 remain conscious.
The...doc...documents...
They'll be looking for them.
They're very important.
A simple accident?
From our side, it was decided that it was just a simple 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 Seojo Farm said this, but,
when she went to check her greenhouse,
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 dissatisfaction 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 ploy.
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.
Did you perhaps see this person at the scene of the crime?
What is it?
This person,
I know who it is.
What?
His name is Yang Dae Ho.
The Colonel of the Army Headquarter.
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!
Eagle 6, Plate number 8911. Let it pass without checking the access authorization.
It's the V.I.P's personal guest accompanied by Performance Team Leader.
Here.
Are you sure he gave this to the President?
The Head of the 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 Colonel of the Army Headquarter. "Note : I'm running a small grocery store..."
He has never run something like a grocery store.
But nothing suspicious has been found on this note.
It wasn't looked at because they thought just a civilian passed the note.
Clearly, 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 within the Presidential Security Service.
Colonel 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"
Colonel 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 so that we can be prepared just in case.
Eagle 6. The guest accompanied by Performance Team Leader is going back.
Let him pass without any problem.
No Entry If you need to enter, please obtain 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 crude.
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 the Security Service.
I need your ID and the access authorization pass.
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 a 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!
Preview
Now what to do?
How could this happen inside Cheongsoodae?
What have you done for a week?
All agents at the fishing area are found dead.
Shoot the flare bomb. He may be still alive.
What happened to the President?
I'm sure Han Tae Kyeong 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 Colonel Yang Dae Ho's incident
is the Security Service Agent, Han Tae Kyeong.
