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

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

All right, here we go!

Thank you, Na-gyeong.

I won't forget

what you did for Jae-min.

Han-mo, we're going to start over, right?

The bomber's accomplice is still in the Blue House.

I was given authority of the investigation

and I need your help.

I can't put

my family...

in danger again.

Sorry.

Jae-min!

It doesn't seem like Chief Jeong will join Agent Han.

Na-gyeong should be behind bars, not roaming the streets freely.

This acting President of ours couldn't care less about disrupting

the nation's law and order.

Secretary Cha and I made a bet.

He asked me to join your election campaign if your approval ratings

exceed Minister Oh's.

Will you really do that?

I hear that you'll be discussing

the Discrimination Act at the Cabinet meeting.

Once the bill is passed on to the National Assembly,

you'll get your wish,

but your approval ratings

will keep on declining.

Yesterday, those who were against the act

turned their back on you.

Tomorrow,

those who think that you're ignoring their opinions

will leave your side.

Are you so reckless that you don't realize

how crucial the polls are at this time

for the election

or are you just arrogant?

Is this bill

a desire and passion of yours,

or is it you being stubborn?

Whatever it may be,

there will be no scenario where I...

join your campaign.

Administrator Kim will need an extra copy, right?

- Sure. - Got it.

I was surprised.

I didn't think

you'd ever agree to President Park's decision to enact

the Discrimination Act.

I thought the voters' opinions were all that mattered to you.

Secretary Cha isn't a cold-blooded man who only cares about winning.

He's actually quite a softy and he's bad at basketball.

Darn.

Touching moments make him weak as well.

My speech on humanitarianism got to you, didn't it?

Seriously?

I never agreed to anything.

President Park

seems to be forgetting his position as a presidential candidate,

so what else can I do?

He'll have to learn first-hand

how grueling it is to bring back approval rates

that have already plummeted.

Then are you...

You're trying to tame him, aren't you?

We haven't begun any proper campaigns yet.

And there's still some time to fix this.

I take it back. He's as cold as it gets.

It happened just as you wanted it to.

The Discrimination Act

will be discussed in today's Cabinet meeting.

President Park

has yet to have a political mindset.

I must meet the VIP.

Mr. Kim!

Have you already forgotten, General Eun?

You made a pledge from the very beginning.

"Never be curious about each other's identities.

Meeting the VIP

will only happen when the VIP requests it."

- But... - You even know why.

It's to ensure the safety of you and all of us.

"All of us"?

That indicates there are other accomplices besides General Eun.

Just how many more are there?

Well, it's safe to assume that this Mr. Kim is the liaison.

Na-gyeong,

could Mr. Kim be Tae-ik?

What about the handwriting analysis?

We'll have the results soon.

Mr. Kim,

I know more than you think.

This isn't your average tailor shop.

You, a former spy of the South who was sent to the North,

aren't ironing clothes at this place

because of a belatedly discovered talent.

People who are rich enough

to afford suits at a place like this...

Well, this is the place

to meet those who have joined the operation

without having it seem suspicious by anyone.

There's no need to let us meet others in the operations,

and you've been controlling us

by relaying the VIP's messages to us.

And just like a tailor would have the clients' information,

you have ours as well.

It's the sole purpose of this tailor shop's existence.

For someone who knows that,

you seem to be

- quite adamant about meeting the VIP. - Don't be mistaken.

You're not the VIP.

I wish to hear from the VIP in person

whether I can be well-protected or not.

I'll relay your message,

but like always,

the decision will be the VIP's.

I'll trust you for now.

Just so you know, soldiers are quite naive.

All they do is follow orders

in the name of protecting their country.

Please tell that

to the VIP as well.

Will do.

I have the handwriting analysis report.

After comparing

Myung Hae-joon's dying message to his written statement...

It doesn't say Tae-ik.

Tae-ik...

It's more like an L than a K.

Tae-il.

Not Tae-ik,

but Tae-il?

Mr. President, it's time to head out

for the Cabinet meeting.

Do I look all right?

Yes, sir.

I see you chose to discuss the Discrimination Act.

I heard your speech requesting that I withdraw my proposal.

Do you believe that the citizens

will genuinely support the Discrimination Act?

What do you mean by that?

Due to ethnic background, disability, nationality, affiliation,

race, religion,

and even beliefs...

In every way,

people have found a way to discriminate against others.

It's how one can be at a slight advantage

in this dog-eat-dog world.

It's basic instinct.

- But humans... - Because we're human,

we can never openly admit to it, though.

No one would dare say that they support discrimination.

It's why people

are using homosexuality as an excuse to voice their objections

by hiding behind the justification of religion and tradition.

Underneath our masks, we're selfish beings

who support discrimination and oppose equality.

That's the ugly face

of the power

that propels the world.

Do you really believe that?

Tomorrow,

I will announce my candidacy for President.

I'm joining the race.

Even though

you dream of a nation

that supports discrimination and is against equality?

Voters

tend to lean towards the person who advocates for them.

Don't you know that?

Mr. President,

you can never defeat me.

Hi, Minister Oh.

President Park is present.

Secretary Cha,

do you still think the same way?

You really think the people of Korea

oppose the Discrimination Act, and that

it won't help my approval ratings?

Yes.

Ask me 100 times if you want. My answer will still be the same.

It's a fact.

This will hurt you in the elections.

I...

disagree.

Let us begin the fourth Cabinet meeting.

The next item on the agenda

is the Discrimination Act.

The Discrimination Act...

Its legislation will be...

delegated to the next administration.

Is this your doing?

No.

That concludes the fourth Cabinet meeting.

Thank you all.

Good job today.

What happened? Why did he...

He chose to become a true presidential candidate,

just like Secretary Cha wanted.

Approval ratings can be quite scary, right?
