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

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

You don't have to worry about the FTA renegotiations.

I've sent one of our people to ensure our alliance with the US won't suffer.

The air pollution level test result provided by the EPA...

There’s an error in the numbers.

Please contact the Korean delegation.

He will be held responsible for today's incident

and dismissed from office.

There was an explosion at the National Assembly

during the President's State of the Nation Address.

The main building of the National Assembly

has collapsed.

Thank you

for coming.

You have been entrusted

with all the authority and duties

of the President of the Republic of Korea.

What happens if I step down as Acting President?

I'm unqualified.

Your termination had no legal effect.

(MINISTER PARK MU-JIN)

There was no time to process it.

We’re at war right now! Do you not know what that means?

We shouldn’t react emotionally.

We don’t have time, President Park.

Give your consent to announce DEFCON Two.

What happens

if the submarine sank and didn't infiltrate our waters?

You’re saying you’ll risk the people’s lives and safety

on something uncertain that hasn’t even been confirmed?

Will you remove Sawagiri Fleet

from Korean waters?

The person in the most danger today within the bunker...

Park Mu-jin. It was you.

There have been acts of violence in Mohyeon and Bogil.

An executive order?

If you wish to issue an executive order, you will have to fire me.

As of now,

Secretary Han is dismissed of his job.

It's a bomb! I found an explosive!

"Explosive demolition"?

The explosive demolition method requires fuses planted

all over the building to make it work.

So?

The bombers detonated the bombs using the building's Internet cable lines.

There was a bombing during the President's speech

at the National Assembly that I was boycotting.

That alone stops me from being free of any moral responsibility.

Who is less unfortunate?

Is it the family of the deceased

or the family of the missing?

Do you still think you don't desire power and authority?

It's not that he never wanted power,

but he just didn't have the chance.

There's a survivor here!

It's a survivor!

There's a survivor?

Where?

There's a survivor!

Where is the survivor?

- Over there. - My gosh!

- Yes, we found a survivor. - Gosh!

- Oh, my goodness. - I hope he's okay.

My gosh!

- There. - Hang in there. We almost have him.

Grab his arm first.

Be careful. Watch the arm.

One, two, three!

Hurry up!

- Dad! Dad... - Hurry!

Hey, the feet too.

Cover him up.

- One, two, three! - Three!

- Let's go. - Dad!

- Dad! - Move back, please.

Please move back.

Please move back.

Hold tight, okay?

- Dad! - Go slowly.

Let's go slowly, okay?

Dad!

I got him. I'm holding him.

Slowly.

- Please move back. - Hold on. I just want to see...

- Please let us... - There he is!

- Dad! - Please move back!

Do you remember the explosion?

- What happened? - Let us through!

Please give us a comment.

How do you feel about being the sole survivor?

Please identify yourself!

Do you remember the explosion?

Where were you during the explosion?

The survivor who was miraculously rescued two days after the explosion

has been identified as an independent first-term assemblyman Mr. Oh Yeong-seok.

The bombing resulted in approximately 200 casualties,

which include the President,

the Prime Minister, as well as members of the Cabinet.

The first survivor, Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok...

The youngest member of the 21st National Assembly.

He's the first assemblyman from Honam

that was elected to represent a TK district.

That was possible because he's independent.

He beat a three-term assemblyman who even served as a floor leader.

Don't you remember, sir?

Attention, everyone!

Work on a spotlight story on Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok.

What has he done for his district and in the Assembly?

It's his first term, so find out how he got into politics.

"The fighter, Oh Yeong-seok.

The messenger of hope risen from the midst of despair."

Isn't it great?

Now, get to work!

(ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK FOUND ALIVE)

Assemblyman Oh's survival

is giving hope to our people

who were drowning in despair.

Life is quite interesting, isn't it?

Someone becomes a beacon of hope just for being alive.

And another gains the highest power in Korea

just for being alive.

With no qualifications

and without being vetted.

(ASSEMBLYMAN OH YEONG-SEOK DRAMATICALLY RESCUED)

That's great news.

I hope we'll hear

about more survivors being rescued.

Mr. President.

Those at the site

don't think that is very likely.

By tomorrow, the 72-hour golden time of rescue will expire.

And we're concerned that there may be a secondary collapse.

I think

Assemblyman Oh could be the first and last...

He may be the only survivor.

I'll arrange for a congratulatory letter to be sent to him under your name, sir.

And please have a look.

It's your approval rating based on your administrative operation work.

In the presidential candidate preference poll,

you were ranked number five, following Ms. Yun Chan-gyeong

and Mayor Kang.

I heard from the reporters

that many media outlets are working on stories about you.

They'll probably be about whether or not you qualify to run for President.

That makes me feel

a little uneasy.

I'll be going back to teaching in 60 days.

I don't want to be considered a candidate.

It's simply not right given the situation.

You want me to control the press because it's not the kind of story you want?

Then they'll publish stories about how the Blue House infringed on their rights.

- I meant... - You know

that's not what he meant.

I'm saying he needs to know.

With even Secretary Han gone now,

every word you say will be a reflection of the Blue House's political choice

regardless of your intention.

The media will continue to talk about you as one of the presidential candidates.

And...

I welcome that.

What do you mean?

It's proof that the people are in support of your leadership.

Do you think a mere Acting President

can have a more powerful tool than that here in the Blue House?

What?

I guess the power went out.

No. Something's wrong.

The Blue House can't have a power outage.

Please don't leave the room!

Mr. President! Away from the window, please.

What's happening?

It's the Blue House.

It seems like the Blue House is the target this time.

Yes, okay.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Our internal network firewall has been breached.

Disconnect the link first.

Hurry up! Disconnect it!

The whole system is down, sir.

This is crazy.

Where's the breach?

Don't tell me that our network has been hacked.

The Blue House's network was designed to be breach-proof.

Then how...

Have you heard of the Trojan horse?

The firewall opened up internally

while the power was coming back on.

Is it possible to check if there was a data breach?

That's not what they were after.

They left a video on our server.

Look.

Do you think it's true?

We won't be able to authenticate the video

until the NSC receives the report

from NIS.

If it's true,

the Blue House will obviously be affected, right?

If the video is made public,

we can expect political attacks against you, sir.

It may fundamentally jeopardize your position as Acting President.
