Designated Survivor: 60 Days (60Il, Jijungsaengjonja / 60일, 지정생존자)

(ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL)

I'd like to announce to you all

that Special Mission Unit 707 captured Myung Hae-joon,

the former commander of the North Korean army

who claims to have committed the National Assembly bombing,

after a shootout in Cambodia

and has transported him to Seoul.

Blue House officials stated

that Myung Hae-joon is being detained at a facility in Seoul at the moment.

A joint investigative task force,

which consists of officers from the NIS and the DSSC,

will thoroughly investigate

the authenticity of the video and find out who was behind the attack.

I didn't think

you'd recommend me for Myung Hae-joon's interrogation.

It tells me that you still

don't believe the suspicions I have about the attack.

Am I wrong?

Actually,

it's the opposite.

The interrogation will tell us

if North Korea was truly behind it as he's claiming,

or if someone else

was behind it like you said.

Still no updates from the NIS?

When can we find out who was behind it?

Will a day be enough? Or two days?

Will Myung Hae-joon tell us the truth?

Mr. President.

I showed you all how anxious I am.

The interrogation

must've begun just now.

Myung Hae-joon, the former head of the Operations Bureau

of North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau.

Blah, blah, blah.

Jeez, there's too much stuff.

You look better on screen.

I quite enjoyed the video.

Gosh, you tried so hard to fool us with such complete bullshit.

The North Korean government did not order

the bombing of the National Assembly Building.

Right?

The young chairman of the SAC wants

its label as a terrorist nation to be removed

so that it can start functioning as a normal country.

One that is internationally recognized.

The military reshuffle.

And I bet you couldn't accept the purge of Choe Seo Ryong, your adoptive father,

because you didn't want to lose the honor and social status you had been enjoying.

I'm sure you couldn't take it.

So you must've defected to Cambodia

and started planning the attack.

Why?

To get back

at the North Korean government and its young leader

for deserting you and your father.

At this moment, there is only one thing we can tell you for certain.

Since capturing him,

your approval rating has risen to 48.5 percent,

which is the highest it's been.

Except at the very beginning,

the Yang administration never received such a high rating.

This was achieved in just ten days.

Now, we can safely assume that the people

approve of you as a legitimate interim president.

And Myung Hae-joon is no longer a potential threat.

Did you all see this?

He is the most preferred presidential candidate now.

He outranked Yun Chan-gyeong and even Mayor Kang.

- If you look at this... - Secretary Cha.

Contact the NIS.

Whether it's an accomplice, a wire-puller, or the objective,

I want the officer in charge to report directly to me in person.

You mean, the agent who is interrogating Myung Hae-joon, sir?

Yes.

Well...

That will shake up the NIS' reporting structure, sir.

We made

a big sacrifice to capture Myung Hae-joon.

That

is all that matters to me now.

Did you want to provoke our government?

To be a force to be reckoned with in the North Korean military?

You wanted to go against the leader who's willing to denuclearize

and get in the way of the peace treaty between the two Koreas.

That is why you planned the attack!

That's...

called "disgrace," not "peace."

Our nuclear weapons are the fruits of all the hard work of our people.

During the famine,

our people had to shed tears

while seeing their children starve to death.

And our soldiers were dispatched

as mercenaries to earn foreign currency and secure supplies.

That is how our nuclear weapons were made,

and yet the Chairman is saying he will hand them over to American imperialists

because he's blinded by capitalism.

Denuclearization?

That means he will surrender without even fighting.

But we're different.

The Korean People's Army inherited the honorable spirit

of the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

Even if it'll cost us our lives,

we'll never get down on our knees.

So I guess

you just admitted

that the North Korean government and the Chairman of the SAC

did not order you to commit the bombing.

Who was it, then?

Who is the person

that ordered the attack, hiding behind you?

The real mastermind.

Why haven't we heard anything? It's been a while.

This is why I said the DSC should...

I mean, this is why I said the DSSC should interrogate Myung Hae-joon.

Well,

the DSSC will be taking over from here on.

We'll make him confess that North Korea ordered the attack.

You'll make him confess?

A mere confession can't serve as evidence in this day and age.

What will you do?

Will you coerce and torture him if he doesn't talk?

National security precedes human rights.

Don't you know?

The DSC is still the DSC even if it changes its name a hundred times.

Even cleaning this place with the cleanest water won't help

as it's still run by the same people.

Those of you in the NIS should keep your mouths shut!

Was the anti-terror law made for you guys to illegally monitor ordinary citizens?

You should've prevented the attack!

I'll give you 12 hours.

Tell your agents to find out who the mastermind is before time's up.

If they fail to do so,

the military will have to step in and interrogate Myung Hae-joon.

Tell us.

Who is behind you?

You're a mere defector without any means of livelihood.

You neither had the money nor the technology

required to obtain and handle all the explosives needed for the bombing.

The explosive demolition method doesn't require a lot of explosives.

The Internet cables, which South Korea is so proud of.

They acted as great detonating cords.

How could I know these things if I didn't do it myself?

All you people in the South enjoy the luxury of eating well,

but you're nothing after all.

And the great army of the DPRK

made a big mistake.

Even though the building collapsed due to the explosion,

there was a survivor in the plenary chamber.

A mere bomb attack can't take down South Korea.

But you know what? You'll die all alone on our soil,

after serving as the instigator's puppet.

You'll die a lonely death here.

Without reaping any rewards or benefits.

You people just mooch off the American imperialists.

Don't you dare raise your voice at this revolutionary warrior.

I can make your National Assembly Building

go up in flames thousands of times.

On the day of the revolution,

I'll start by killing that lucky bastard who survived the attack.

And you'll be next.

You too.

What did you just say?

The one who survived... I mean, you will kill the survivor,

Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok?

The Korean People's Army can do anything.

That is precisely why you can't be the real culprit behind the attack.

You still don't know

the bomber made an air raid shelter

in the National Assembly Building

so that the survivor of the bombing, Assemblyman Oh,

would live.

Did you say we should change the world together?

That outcasts like us can change the world because we're living

in a revolutionary era?

I'll give you my answer.

I bet the person has a connection with Assemblyman Oh.

The one who plotted the attack,

using Myung Hae-joon as a puppet.

Hey, move.

That's a dangerous remark.

Do you think Myung Hae-joon knows

who the mastermind is?

Even if he does, he won't tell us easily.

Whoever it is, it's the only person

whom he can trust and rely on at the moment, don't you think?

He won't betray him easily.

First, let's contact the headquarters and find out where Myung's family is.

Whether it has to be the carrot or the stick,

we must figure out a way to make him talk.

- Hurry! - What's going on?

God damn it.

Shit.

What...

He's dead.

What's going on?

What happened?

He's dead.

How, all of a sudden?

He was already dead when we came to pick up his mess tray.
