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

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

(ACTING PRESIDENT NOW A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE)

(ACTING PRESIDENT OH TOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE)

(THE YOUTH HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A POLITICIAN LIKE THIS)

Minister Oh is pretty impressive.

He managed to fill President Park's shoes in just one day.

And after that one day,

he's the favorite presidential candidate.

It's hard to believe that he has never done this before.

Reopening the stock market and gunning down the sniper

weren't easy decisions, but he didn't hesitate at all.

He almost looked like a student taking an exam with all the answers.

He naturally knows how to charm the public.

Minister Oh is a natural-born politician.

Are you implying

that you're giving up on President Park as the presidential candidate?

Isn't he who you were looking for? The one who knows how to win.

Minister Oh has a better chance of winning than President Park.

It's only a temporary symptom. You don't need to worry.

The Acting President...

I mean, Acting President Park just regained consciousness.

I was worried as his doctor was concerned about possible brain damage.

Thank god, right? Very soon, he'll be back to his charming, intelligent self.

When can he return to work, then?

When do you think I can return to work?

I'm not sure, sir.

You need absolute rest for now,

so I think we'll have to keep you here and monitor you for about a week.

- Excuse me. - Thank you.

Well, Ms. Jeong.

Does he have to return to the Blue House?

You know,

he's unable to perform his duties at the moment

as described in Article 71 of the Constitution.

And the Blue House already has another Acting President.

Well, that's...

Then you should rest up

and register as a presidential candidate right away, sir.

"A presidential candidate"?

As in, running for president?

Honey.

Can you

go talk to my doctor?

- What? - Ask him if I can get some painkillers.

Are you in a lot of pain, sir?

On a scale of one to ten,

how would you rate your pain, sir?

Seven?

Mr. Park.

Yes, sir.

Would you accompany my wife?

Sure, no problem.

Oh, sir.

Here. I got your glasses.

There.

Let's go, ma'am.

Okay.

We'll be back shortly, sir.

I tried to dissuade Minister Oh from gunning down the sniper

so that we could find out who was behind him,

but he went ahead and gave the order to shoot to kill.

What if...

he did that to conceal the mastermind behind the assassination attempt?

Minister Oh has already garnered overwhelming support from the people.

I'm worried about

what he'll do until you return

with all that confidence he has now.

But he isn't the only one

at the Blue House. The secretaries are there to keep him in check.

And one of the secretaries...

colluded with the bombers.

The person who called the Minister of National Defense...

I found out who it was, sir.

Are you the Minister of National Defense?

This is Secretary Cha Yeong-jin.

Please revoke Commander Lee Gwan-muk's security clearance

for the file titled OP 5015-18.

Let me give you a word of advice.

If you're handed over to the prosecution now,

being tight-lipped and exercising your right to remain silent

as you're doing now won't help you in any way.

The sniper was...

shot dead while he was being chased.

It means the only witness who could attest to whether or not you're one of them

is now dead.

Conspiracy to kill Myung Hae-joon

and assassinate the Acting President.

On top of that, you'll continue to exercise your right to remain silent?

That attitude will only increase your sentence.

I'm thinking you'll probably be sentenced to about 15 years.

Just admit it.

Let's do our best to get your sentence mitigated, okay?

It'll be a waste

to spend the prime of your life in prison.

Where are you taking me?

This isn't the way to the Prosecutors' Office.

Mr. President is waiting for you, Agent Han.

NIS will be told that you're being held in custody by the prosecution Services.

Agent Han, I heard that you've been investigating this for some time.

Minister Oh Yeong-seok...

Is he really connected with the mastermind behind the attack?

He knew about the attack in advance.

He evacuated to the air raid shelter

right before the explosion, thus becoming the only survivor.

Would that have been possible if he had no connection with the bombers?

Are you able to prove that, Agent Han?

I'm sorry, sir.

All the evidence we had gathered were stolen by Tae-ik...

I mean, the sniper took them from us

on the day of the hearing.

They deleted all the videos of Minister Oh evacuating to the air-raid shelter

on the day of the explosion.

I'm speculating that's why Minister Oh unreasonably ordered

that the sniper be killed.

So you're saying it's impossible.

I'm letting you know that

I'll be starting again from scratch, sir.

The two of you are very much alike.

It'll be hard,

but you're talking as if it's not a big deal at all,

just like Agent Kim Jun-o.

It's probably because

Agent Kim Jun-o was my mentor and my role model

whom I emulated.

I have to say,

this position makes you utterly shameless.

It requires me to demand the kinds of sacrifices

that I can never repay as if it's not a big deal.

You are

also making a sacrifice, sir.

Then let's start...

with finding the accomplice in the Blue House first.

The North Korean defector, Myung Hae-joon, admitted to executing the attack.

However, he was murdered by Tae-ik.

After Agent Kim Jun-o met with President Park,

Tae-ik tried to assassinate President Park.

And the person who gave the order to gun Tae-ik down

was Minister Oh Yeong-seok.

Does that mean Oh Yeong-seok is the mastermind behind the attack?

No, it isn't him.

Then who is it?

Jeez, you scared me.

Na-gyeong!

"Operation Plan 5015-18"?

Are you saying the person who handed this OP file

created by the NSC over to the bombers

is in the Blue House now?

One of the President's closest aides with the authority

to revoke a security clearance with one call.

And the only person who knows about this file at the moment.

It's the best lead to find the accomplice on the inside.

Thank you.

We need your signature, Mr. Cha.

All internal communication recordings have been restored.

You mean, the recordings had been damaged?

Yes. When the firewall breach occurred last time,

all the communication recordings were damaged.

Secretary Jeong Su-jeong came by and checked.

She didn't report it to you?

She asked for your call recordings,

so I assumed she had already reported it to you.

I don't think we should today.

Do you have work left?

Take your time. I'll wait.

No, don't wait. You can go.

I'm tired.

What brings you to the Data Processing Office?

Secretary Jeong.

It's nothing important.

People say that President Park benefited the most from this bombing,

and some say it's Minister Oh,

but they're wrong.

It's you.

Had it not been for the attack,

you wouldn't have even dreamed of a chance

to recreate the government

as none other than a kingmaker.

I wanted to bring President Park some books to read at the hospital.

Why did you look up my call logs?

Are you suspecting me of something?

Answer me. Why?

Why me? For what reason...

Did President Park order you to do it?

Or was it something that you did on your own?

Answer that first.

Will that change anything?

Apparently, the National Security Council called a meeting.

Did you know about it?

How could there be an NSC meeting without your knowledge?

You didn't hear anything about this either?

No, nothing.

You cannot go in, sir.

I'm Minister Oh Yeong-seok's chief secretary.

I'm the National Security Adviser, and he's the Chief Secretary.

We're members of the NSC as well.

Why can't we go in?

We apologize, sir.

We're simply following the Acting President's orders.

Gosh, this is... I'm speechless.

You didn't know at all either?
