TEMPES
Mr. Im.
You're here.
[calm music playing]
[Munju breathes shakily]
UNITED MOTHERLAND
-[Munju] You published a new book?
-[Dujin] I did.
Although I didn't really wanna have
anything printed. Those poor trees.
[chuckles]
THE FATE OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA
[liquid pours]
BY IM DUJIN
Why didn't you visit me sooner?
I thought if I did,
I'd cry the second I saw you.
So what if you did?
Your husband had just died.
I still have so much to do.
Oh, really? Like what?
I never did anything
for him when we were married.
So the least I can do is find out
why he was murdered.
If he risked his life for something,
I wanna finish it for him.
I guess you feel like
you didn't show Junik
enough affection when he was alive.
[inhales deeply]
I thought eventually
I could open up to him.
He was always such a warm and sweet man.
[tense music playing]
All I had to do was just sit next to him.
Peace and unity are hard to achieve.
Even in the case of husband and wife.
[sighs]
I saw your number
in Junik's call history pretty recently.
Were you two seeing each other?
Yeah. Over a month ago.
He showed me the letter he received
from his friend, the one in America.
I thought reunification
was just an option
that was available to us.
But I realize now we're sitting on
a time bomb that is war.
Like death, reunification is inevitable.
No matter how we try to avoid it.
It's something that we have to face.
I still have so much to learn, sir.
Teach me, please.
After that,
he asked me to join his campaign
to oversee the reunification initiative.
Did you accept?
[chuckles]
The New Republican Party,
I just couldn't imagine joining them.
[chuckles]
By the way, are you moving soon?
It looks like you're packing.
Yeah.
Over to Argentina.
I have relatives with a ranch.
Argentina?
You know that I introduced Junik
and Father Yang.
Just because they spoke out
about peace and reunification,
they were both killed horribly.
People in this country love hate
more than peace.
They're obsessed
with faction and division,
and I just don't…
I don't want to live here anymore. So…
[tense music playing]
Sir.
I'm planning to run for president.
[Dujin sighs]
You're the one
who taught me about the North
when I first returned to Korea to work
at the ministry of foreign affairs.
Even though I did all my studying
in the US,
you were the person
I actually learned from.
Your predictions about North Korea,
their actions and motives,
have always been accurate.
I need your help, Mr. Im.
Munju.
North Korea is helpless
and they're collapsing.
The US has to intervene.
The North has nuclear weapons.
It's inevitable that war is near.
Those with compassion
will be crushed
under the wheels of history.
I'm fine with getting crushed,
and so was Junik, and so was Father Yang.
[Dujin sighs]
But if you're willing to help me,
MUNJU CAMPAIGN OPERATION PLAN
I'll do my best
to change the course of those wheels.
How were you able to capture that photo?
As soon as I heard the gunshot,
I just kept pressing the shutter.
I was stunned to see a woman
suddenly enter the frame.
-My God, who is that woman?
-[serious music plays]
How could she stand at gunpoint
staring him down?
I think that that's the question
on everyone's mind.
It is evident that Ambassador Seo
just exhibited extraordinary bravery
as she stood unarmed and faced the man
who had just shot and killed her husband.
[reporter] The newsmaker
of the week is Seo Munju.
Former UN Ambassador and the widow
of the late assemblyman Jang.
Look at Ambassador Seo's eyes.
The courage and anger.
Even in an extreme situation,
she remains completely composed.
[panelist] People are now saying
she should've been the one
running for president
and that they'd vote for her
without giving it a second thought.
[host] If Seo does decide
to run for president,
which party do you think she'll join?
I strongly think she should join
the New Republican Party
and carry out her husband's
political legacy for him.
Her candidacy will only have meaning
if she does.
However, Seo Munju has been
a symbolic figure in the administration
of Chae Kyungsin,
the very face of our government, in fact.
I know
that you went out of your way
to make sure Junik lost the primary.
Assemblyman Jang truly was
a-a valuable asset to our party.
Thanks to him, we gained a strong base
of young supporters,
but that was really it.
There are principles that define
who we are as a party,
and a key value is anti-communism.
Our party was built on the blood spilled
across the 38th parallel.
And well, someone
who doesn't understand that…
He couldn't be our candidate.
So then,
you were glad the day Junik died?
[stutters] Why would you say that, ma'am?
In September, 2015, in Santa Barbara,
California… [inhales deeply]
…a drunk driver crashed her car
into a bar.
Two were killed
and three seriously injured.
Two Koreans were arrested at the scene.
A local masseuse and a prosecutor
who was supposedly there
for overseas training.
Prosecutor Jang Junsang.
She was just someone I met that night.
I saw her being sexually harassed
and tried to help.
But she panicked and then ran to her car.
There wasn't enough evidence to charge me.
There wasn't enough then.
What if there is now?
You know, when my husband died, he, um…
he left me this huge file cabinet
with drawers.
Kind of funny, right?
After all those years in politics,
the only thing he left behind
was one file cabinet.
The thing is,
one of those drawers had your name on it.
HWANG MANGI
And when I opened it,
I found some very interesting things.
So today…
I thought I'd share this.
[Okseon laughs]
Look at that face,
like father, like daughter.
I mean, it'd be embarrassing to deny it.
[breathes shakily]
That was over 20 years ago!
Everyone in politics had
illegitimate kids then!
The woman told the police
that she was the driver, okay?
I don't remember anything!
-[woman screams]
-[Junsang] Come here, get over here!
Shut up! You better not say a word…
[Munju] I spoke to your wife
for the first time in a long time.
-[Junsang] You hear me?
-She's willing to testify against you.
She was gonna stay silent for her kids.
But she couldn't bear the thought
of her abusive husband
running for president.
Mom did this?
You got my own mother to help you.
[guest] Seo Munju had
an excellent global reputation
as a UN ambassador.
Plus, she's a woman, and female leadership
is the dominant trend worldwide right now.
[Munju] Leave.
Just say you're going to Germany to see
your kids while they study abroad.
This is what she always does.
[inhales sharply]
She does, she… [sighs]
She always makes me feel like trash.
Well, you can tell her
that since this is where she's
taking things, I'll see you all in hell.
And you should also remember
that when I leave the country,
I won't be empty-handed when I return.
[sighs]
After this,
your political career will be finished
for good.
I gotta say,
I've always wondered…
What gave you the audacity to plot
with all of those people against Junik?
You remember, showing up
at our house for the New Year
knowing that you didn't belong there?
[tense music playing]
Okay, so what is it that you want from me?
Junsang leaves for Germany tonight.
And Munju runs for president this year.
And I want you to stay out of her way.
Considering her background with the UN,
some folks are skeptical about her skill
set in managing the government, right?
Well, regarding past presidents who were
diplomats, we've had Choi Gyuha.
South Korea is among
the ranks of the world powers,
which makes diplomacy
a matter of survival.
That's right.
[Okseon] First of all, I'm going
to turn her into a spectacle.
Then, the spectacle will grow
into a phenomenon.
And eventually…
she'll become a legend.
[reporter 1] Representative Hwang, hello!
[reporter 2] Is it true Seo Munju will
run in the presidential primary
for the New Republican Party?
As far as I am concerned,
Ambassador Seo Munju is entirely focused
on determining the ideal way
to share the vision of
the late Assemblyman Jang with the world.
You know, truthfully, the biggest
criticism I've faced from my party lately
is that I didn't bring on
Ambassador Seo any sooner!
-[laughs] Excuse me.
-[reporter 3] When will the primary…
[reporter 4] What was it that made
the Ambassador decide to run?
Report any issues from the advance
team's inspection,
double-check the contact network
of the local authorities.
[staff 1] Oh, yes, hold on, please.
Uh-huh. Let me know
if anyone gives you a problem.
And which hospital did you speak to?
Hi, Miji Yeo, campaign manager. Yes?
Yeah. Uh, three people?
-[door opens]
-[Changhee] Ms. Seo.
Six different organizations
did a flash poll
on the New Republican Party's
presidential candidate yesterday,
and you've suddenly jumped to first
or second rank in all categories.
PRIMARY CANDIDACY
ANNOUNCEMENT D-6
Wow, do you… Do you have any clue
how nuts it is outside?
I don't know how they got our number.
The phone's ringing constantly,
people want to volunteer for the campaign!
Man, this is so one of those times where
you say, "You're slaying it, baby girl!"
Did you say, "slaying it?"
So fire, girl! You're totally lit!
-Wait, fire? Why are you…
-[sighs]
Anderson, did you get ahold of him?
Uh, I've been trying using
various channels,
I still haven't reached him though.
I got his sister's contact
number yesterday.
The minute after I've heard back,
I'll reach out.
Uh, no, I'll try it myself.
Also, Miji, I keep getting these emails
from someone.
Can you do me a favor
and see what it's about?
JOSE KIM
SHIV HOLDINGS INHERITANCE INQUIRY
-I'll forward you everything.
-[Miji] Yep, got it.
I unlocked Assemblyman Jang's computer,
and his cell phone,
and restored all deleted logs.
Multiple records exist of him
accessing a secure email site.
It's hosted on an encrypted server.
It's known for airtight security,
that even the FBI can't crack.
Each user is given a fifteen-character
encryption key to use.
You think you could crack the code?
These SincereMail emails aren't easy
to decrypt.
I can give it a try, but I can't
promise you that it'll work.
Are you in a meeting?
I couldn't get you on the phone.
It's been ringing constantly,
so I put it away.
Get another phone under your aide's name.
It's what everyone does.
This is going well for us.
The first ones to sniff out a rising
politician are the ones with money,
and a lot of those folks are dying
to sponsor you as the candidate.
I mean, I haven't done anything.
We've set the stage for you.
Put the lights on. Music's cued up.
And now it's your turn to show up
and perform for the crowd.
Your debut must dazzle them.
So, let's… let's kick it off
with a triple axel.
[tense music playing]
Wait, a triple axel? How?
This coming Sunday,
your campaign announcement is
at Gwanghwamun Square.
We'll pull in a huge crowd
without using any agencies.
The public sees you as Joan of Arc.
The woman who stood unarmed in front
of her husband to protect him from a gun.
And we need to keep them seeing you
that way and make them shed tears for you.
The easiest thing would be for you
to shed some tears of your own
when the time is right.
[sighs]
I don't think that I can.
Do you really want to be the president?
No one's ever become president
without shedding tears in public.
Crying shows all of them what you value
the most, it's your vulnerability.
And as far as how convincing
everything looks,
well, that's entirely up to you now,
isn't it?
You nail it and that's your triple axel.
I've had an experienced writer draft
your speech for you.
Also, the cue is marked
where you should start crying,
so get that down before Sunday.

SEO MUNJU
[line ringing]
TO ANNOUNCE CAMPAIGN ON THE 19TH
7 P.M. IN GWANGHWAMUN SQUARE
[phone buzzes]
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[phone buzzes]
Mr. Hwang?
[New Republican Party Leader]
The director of the NIS called me.
Why?
Well, he said there's been suspicious
action from the US.
Several Americans flew in
ahead of her announcement.
Who is it?
The CIA?
They weren't the only ones.
Seo could be in a lot of danger.
[knock on door]
[door opens]
Cheers.
Come on in, guys.
We received intel that "Red Feather"
Billy Gray arrived in Seoul yesterday.
He's putting on quite the show
for the cameras.
[metal clattering]
[Munju] To us, they're still
our brothers and sisters.
The recent Human Rights Commission report
on North Korea was heartbreaking.
Far into the future, when we look back,
and think about what we have done,
I sincerely hope that we will be able
to say that we did the right thing
for the people in North Korea,
who deserve to live
a decent life just like us.
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
[phone buzzing]
[sighs]
Hello?
[Kyungsin] Did I wake you?
Why are you calling?
You're about to be
a presidential candidate.
You should be awake already.
If you have something to say, say it.
[Kyungsin] If your goal was
to surprise me, you nailed it.
Honestly, it was like I was slapped
in the face. Which is new.
I never thought that you would stand up
to me like this.
You know,
I don't care if you do become president.
But this is still my term
and I have my own plans.
-I told you…
-[tense music playing]
…I'll do whatever I have to,
to stop this war.
If you get in my way,
I will come after you.
Just thought I'd give you a heads-up.
I was always fond of you.
I wasn't trying to surprise you.
And it wasn't to stand up to you.
But still, I highly doubt
you'll be able to do this.
[scoffs] You don't think I can manage
to stop the war,
but somehow you could do it?
You said, Junik's death was our chance
to work with the US,
to handle it diplomatically.
I disagree.
It's our chance to learn
what really happened.
A diplomatic attempt will fail
if it's rooted in lies.
Hmm, by the way,
I hope you realize…
a candidate without approval
from the US could never get elected
as the president of South Korea,
and they don't want you
leading this country.
So watch your back.
I say that with genuine concern.

[crowd cheering]
Hey, you know, I've honestly
always dreamed of this day.
You finally making your debut in politics.
I have to say, I think this is possibly
the best day of my life.
[tense music playing]
[line ringing]
[Munju] I took this time to embrace
the stories of those who built Korea
into what it is today,
and their grief, which still lingers.
My next stop is Seoul.
[producer] Many of your supporters have
already gathered at Gwanghwamun Square.
-Can you see them?
-[Munju] Yes, I can see them.
-Hi everyone!
-[cheering]
You must've been waiting a while.
I hope you're not completely exhausted.
[crowd] No!
[Munju] Thank you.
Seo Munju, I need to see her.
Who are you?
I have to speak to her now.
It's an emergency.
You were at the church, weren't you?
Listen to me.
Seo Munju can't get on that train.
Okay. Uh, Ms. Seo,
it's Changhee on the phone.
-Hi, Changhee.
-Get off that train now, Ms. Seo.
[Munju] What?
Don't sit down, do you hear me?
Don't sit down!
-[shutters click]
-[crowd chanting]
Ms. Seo.
Paik Sanho, is that you?
You need to stay in that seat now,
don't get up.
Is that clear?
What are you saying?
Stay in your seat, and make sure
you do not get up for any reason.
[suspenseful music playing]
Are you seeing this?
We should stop broadcasting for a minute.
What should I do?
I want you to try to find the man
that fixed your seat.
Miji.
LIVE BROADCAST WILL RESUME ONCE
THE TRAIN ARRIVES IN 40 MINUTES!
[crowd muttering]
So, I guess he wasn't even an employee.
Apparently, they only fix things like that
after the trains are shut down
for the day.
[Sanho] My name is Paik Sanho.
I was special forces in Iraq
running security since 2007.
Terrorists often plant
explosives under seats.
And if I get up again, it'll detonate?
It will if it has a pressure
release switch.
But if it's a time bomb
it'll detonate at a set time.
First, call the police.
I-I'll call now.
-Which stop is next?
-[Munju] Asan Station.
-And after that one?
-[Miji] Gwangmyeong.
-See you in Gwangmyeong.
-[line ends]
I need to step away.
I'll come right back.
Some guy came and fixed the seat,
but the railway confirmed
he wasn't one of their workers.
In Iraq, that would likely mean
they planted explosives under the seat.
[police operator sighs] Ma'am,
you're not in Iraq. You're in Korea.
[scoffs, sighs]
The police are gonna meet us
at Gwangmyeong Station.
Okay, I'm on the way there.
I'll arrive in 15 minutes at the station.
[Miji] We're in first class, car three.
Miji, go talk to everyone else who's here
and get them to another car.
Yeah, I'll make it happen.
[Okseon] What's going on?
We start in an hour.
Just get her here now.
Okay, I'll reach out
when everything's done.

Are you okay?
Yeah.
[suspenseful music playing]
[bomb ticking]
[door opens]
Police. [exhales sharply]
[breathes heavily]
-[Miji gasps]
-[Sanho] Please cut the power here,
and evacuate everyone from this station.
What about the bomb squad?
Are they on their way?
[police officer] Ah, they won't be here
for another ten minutes.
[siren wailing]
All right, folks,
please exit the train quickly.
We're conducting a brief inspection
due to a safety issue.
This way, okay? This way, please.
Right this way, yes.
This way please. That's right.
[Munju breathing heavily]
Try not to breathe so fast.
What?
Too much oxygen could end up causing you
to feel lightheaded.
This bomb is a standard pressure-release
unit, with a timer set as a fail-safe.
How much time is left?
Six minutes.
[ticking]
[breathing heavily]
[ticking]
[ticking continues]
[exhales, inhales deeply]
Look at me.
The more urgent the mission is,
the more calmly I proceed.
[Sanho sighs]
We're having a normal conversation,
all right?
[Munju sighs]
Beer.
If I survive this,
then the first thing I'll do
is have a cold beer.
[chuckles]
[calm music playing]
All right.
First we're gonna switch seats
very carefully,
and then you're gonna get off this train.
I want to stay here.
No, you can't stay here.
You have a crowd waiting for you.
It doesn't matter. Since I lost my baby…
I don't have anyone.
Just follow my lead, okay?
I promise it won't be difficult.
[creaking]
[ticking]
[creaking]
I'll be out soon.
[Munju inhales sharply]
[music intensifies]
[ticking]
[breathing shakily]
[timer ticks quickly]
-[supporter 1] Get out of there!
-[supporter 2] It's too dangerous!
[beeping]
[people clamoring]
[beeping continues]
[timer beeps quickly]
[timer beeps loudly]
[crowd screaming, clamoring]
[breathing heavily]
[Sanho groans]
[breathing heavily]
[siren wailing]
[reporter 1] Based on witness accounts
and analysis of CCTV footage
from inside the train, the police
have identified a man in his forties…
[reporter 2] …congested with passengers
who evacuated the train.
The explosive device was found installed
under a train seat.
[Changhee] Have you identified
the suspect?
[police officer] We're still tracking him,
but we'll keep you updated.
[Miji] So you still don't know who it is?
[police officer] For now,
would you all come down to the station
to give statements?
You may want to cancel the event.
It's best to hold off
until after the investigation's complete.
Continuing today could look like
we're trying too hard.
And safety comes first.
Changhee, what do you think?
Well, I think it should be your call.
There are no security concerns for now
at the venue.
Are you…
I'll keep going.
This is never gonna be easy,
and I know you all prepared thoroughly
for today.
If we have the police escort us,
I think we can continue my schedule
and head to the last stop tonight.
Understood. Then we'll proceed as planned.
[Miji] I'll ride with Ms. Seo.
-[siren wailing]
-[Miji] Yes.
Yes, we're headed to the square now, and
she will announce her campaign as planned.
Uh-huh. I think that we'll get there
in about 20.
THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY
[people clamoring]
Here. Watch your step.
-[radio beeps]
-[Munju sighs]
-[radio beeps]
-[Changhee] Candidate has arrived.
Everyone, stand by.
Are you sure you're up for this?
They've been waiting in the cold.
Why don't you just rest a little?
I don't want you to be nervous out there.
[inhales deeply]
I don't get nervous talking
to a big crowd.
[sighs]
You'll see a teleprompter
on both sides of the podium.
Don't worry.
Everyone, Candidate Seo Munju, let's
give her a great big round of applause!
-[crowd cheering, applauding]
-[triumphant music playing]
[crowd chanting, cheering]

WE SUPPORT SEO MUNJU
Keep them back.
And check what's in their hands.
-[supporter] Please! It's a gift!
-No, it's all right.
Thank you.
We love you, Ms. Seo.
You have my support.
We know you can do it.
[crowd cheering]
[shutters clicking]
SEO MUNJU SAVE US
Many of you here probably don't know
who I am.
And I imagine that
those of you who do know me
only know me as the widow of Jang Junik.
Good evening, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Seo Munju, an ambassador.
[cheering]
You probably heard that I traveled all the
way here today on a train from Gwangju.
I passed through Daejeon,
bringing with me the warmth of the people,
and their desire for peace.
But in truth, my journey began
long before that.
The words she's speaking
are entirely different.
Want me to cut the teleprompters?
[stage director]
No, no, leave 'em on for now.
[Munju] …my years in America,
studying with the Korean flag
on the wall above me,
all the way to the very tragic death
of my husband Jang Junik
who fought for peace and reunification,
and up until this day,
when I almost was killed on that train.
The whole time,
I was running toward this moment.
And I wondered,
what was that bomb trying to keep me from?
[calm music playing]
It was all of you.
I was trying to reach you.
Some people say I can't be the president
because I'm a woman and a diplomat,
and I don't have
a traditional political background.
Some say that I shouldn't be
running for president
with the party of my late husband.
And some say I'm not fit
to lead this nation
because I spent most of my life
out of Korea.
However, all of you thought
that I could be the one
to bring change to this great nation.
That I could help us work
towards peaceful reunification.
That I could be a president for the weak,
the forgotten and the unheard.
And everyone who came out here today:
remember, you are the hope for that unity.
[cheering]
I don't know why people are trying
to stop us,
but I know that I'm not afraid, and
I swear that I won't give up this fight,
as I keep on running towards the goal
for hope and change.
For peaceful streets,
happy families,
a world where people have each other.
And also for a nice cold beer to drink
at the end of a long, hard day.
And to make sure we achieve
all of these things,
I'd like to announce that I'm a candidate
for the 21st election of the presidency.
[cheering]
[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!
Congratulations.
Looks like a superstar is on the rise.
[scoffs]
She just landed her triple axel.
[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!
Did you see that? [breathes shakily]
She just slayed it.
[music fades]
[footsteps echo]
[ethereal choir music playing]
[Sanho] Every night in my dreams…
I walked as lightly as a leaf.
And death…
never scared me.
But I had no idea…
that someone…
had been holding me up this whole time.
[crowd chanting] Seo Munju!
Seo Munju! Seo Munju!
[siren wails]
[people chattering]
[detective] Why did you go back there
from Yongsan?
There are a few more things to work out.
-[Changhee] Where's Ms. Seo?
-She's still talking to those guys.
-Oh, here she comes.
-There she is.
This is a serious case.
And we need your cooperation, sir.
Ms. Seo, are you ready to head out?
[Changhee] Let's go.
-Hello.
-If this how your candidacy is beginning,
what should we expect as it
gets closer to the election?
Ambassador Seo, wait, one more question!
[detective] Sir, is there anything…
[reporters clamoring]
[clock ticking]
[breathes deeply]
[calm music playing]
[sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
[exhales sharply]
Mr. Paik.
It's been a really long day.
Is your leg okay?
[Sanho] Yeah, just a few scratches.
[Munju] I don't even know
how to thank you.
Mr. Paik, I…
I'm still as confused as I was earlier.
How did you manage to get to me
at the right time again?
They killed Assemblyman Jang.
And Father Yang after that.
I had a feeling that you
would be the next one,
since you're continuing
the Assemblyman's work.
If you'd have been hit by that bomb,
you'd have been fatally wounded.
Someone is attempting
to send you a message.
That anyone who tries to stop this war…
is next to meet that same fate.
You're probably still in danger.
I'll reinforce my security then.
I don't really think they can manage it.
Valkyrie just renewed my contract.
No one is able to protect you
as well as I can Ms. Seo.
You should hire me as your bodyguard.
And why should I trust you?
Do a background check.
Look into the battles I've fought
and the roles I took on.
Feel free. Have me followed.
Why would you do all this?
Seo Munju, you want to stop this war?
Well, I do too. Okay?
Father Yang left me with a task.
Do you think that I can do it?
I had this dream.
And in it,
I believe that I could do it.
In my dream I was you.
But you're gonna need my help.
Well, my team is…
They're very meticulous.
And they will pour over
everything, Mr. Paik.
Fine. Then I hope that
they can finish it quickly.
You understand that I'm your boss
and you will follow my instructions.
Well, every soldier knows
how to take orders.
However, in case there's an emergency,
you must do as I say.
And then I'm the boss.
[tense music playing]
[breathes deeply]
Okay, Mr. Paik.
Welcome to the team.
Thank you, very much. Ms. Seo.
