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

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

Sir.

Cambodia rejected our technology transfer offer for water resources development.

Sir.

The road network expansion plan

has been rejected as well.

The Cambodian government rejected all our offers for financial support

as well as our diplomatic proposals, sir.

They don't seem to want to negotiate with our government

when it's under the leadership of an Acting President

since the situation will change with the new administration.

So we can't do anything while Acting President Park is in office?

We put in an extradition request, which got turned down as it's a conflict zone.

But they say if our troops go, it's an invasion. And all negotiations...

We don't have time, sir.

The people won't wait any longer.

- Excuse me, coming through. - Excuse me.

Don't forget this.

People are buying up necessities from big supermarkets.

This is the first time people are stockpiling food and necessities

since North Korea threatened to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" in 1994.

There's more.

All international flights are sold out, every single day.

Be it the US, Southeast Asia, or wherever else,

people just want to leave this peninsula.

Everyone is posting pictures of this backpack

on social media, so I brought it to show you all.

What's all this?

People call it

the Survival Backpack.

Whoever came up with the name did a good job. I wonder who named it.

We're not talking about an abstract fear of war here.

It's solid and real. It's become a part of our daily lives.

It's worse than immediately after the bombing.

It's the worst now.

This was to be expected

when the video went public.

After all, we decided to use the people's anxiety and fear

to divert public attention from the President's dismissal.

The fear-based strategy worked,

and

we've just been billed for the damage.

The people are demanding that we capture Myung Hae Joon immediately.

I'm sure there are other things that Cambodia wants,

aside from financial aid and technical support.

It's too risky

to keep wasting our time while looking to Cambodia.

If we fail to provide the people with a proper solution

for their anxiety and fear,

the controversy over your qualifications

may resurface, sir.

And as you're aware,

we've run out of cards to play.

No.

We still have

our last card.

Don't you want to find out how Assemblyman Oh Yeong-seok

survived?

Look for Room 119 in the blueprint of the National Assembly Building.

Could you tell me where Room 119 is?

I can't find it in this blueprint.

Room 119...

Room 119?

There's no Room 119 in the main building.

There's no Room 119?

On the first floor, there's the lobby,

the mechanical room, the post office, and the press center...

There is no Room 119.

What about here in B1?

There's nothing but this emergency passage, which connects

the library to the assembly hall.

I don't see Room 119 anywhere.

Hey, have you ever seen Room 119 in the main building?

There's no Room 119.

He was a fixture at the Secretariat for 20 years.

If he says it doesn't exist, it's a sure thing.

It doesn't exist.

Wait, could it be shown

in a different blueprint?

One from when the building was built.

Or maybe, the room was added recently?

The blueprint from the construction stage...

It might have been at the Secretariat, but...

The Secretariat?

But as you can see and as you know,

everything is now gone because of the bombing.

The Secretariat was part of the main building, you know.

Do you have the location?

It was a pay phone.

He called you from a pay phone.

It's a residential area.

Yeonnamdong-ro?

I see 440...

It's 446, isn't it?

That's right.

The address is 446 Yeonnamdong-ro.

How did you know?

That pay phone

is right in front of my place.

So he waited in front of your place

and called you after making sure you were home.

If he knows your address, he must be someone you know.

Is there anyone that comes to mind?

It must be one or the other.

It's either a trap to set me up

or a crucial informant.

What about Room 119? Did you find it?

No, but I will.

I'm sure he called me,

trusting that I will find it.

Let's keep working after we have some lunch.

There's no point in killing ourselves.

There's no Room 119 on the first floor,

but during the LAN cable installation last year,

the facility team talked about building a space

to protect communication equipment in case of a fire or a flood.

Are there any blueprints or documents remaining?

Anything that can confirm it?

I don't think so.

They must've all been destroyed, right?

The Secretary General at the time

might still have it.

Who was the Secretary General at the time?

How can I help you?

Is Ms. Yun in her office?

I'm from NIS.

"When the old world has fallen,

but the new world has yet to arrive,

that's always how a revolution begins."

That's what my former boss said.

So we're living in a revolutionary era, you and I.

Do you also think

that I want you to join my camp

because of all the spotlight you've been getting?

Is that not the case?

Many rookie politicians

burst on the scene like shooting stars.

They probably outnumber the stars in the sky.

But they vanish without making a name for themselves.

That's why I call them "shooting stars."

You're

a lot like me.

You hated the Yang administration

because he was an amateur and an idealist.

And you despise the corrupt, cliquey politicians

in the Seonjin Republican Party.

I, the first female executive

to become a delegate of the Seonjin Republican Party,

am asking you, an independent and the first assemblyman from Honam

elected to represent a TK district, to join me.

Outcasts like us should change the world.

We're living in a revolutionary era, after all.

So you'll become a President who will change the world,

and you'd like me to be your pacemaker.

Is that it?

I'll make you the party leader.

And you'll be the next presidential candidate.

Must I wait longer for your answer?

I'm considering

offering the position of Acting Prime Minister to Assemblyman Oh.

I'd like him to aid us in government operations.

Sir, are you saying he's our last card?

- I object to... - I object to...

- At... - At the memorial ceremony...

He openly criticized you at the memorial ceremony, sir.

And thanks to that, the "miraculous survivor"

suddenly stepped into the limelight as a promising rookie politician.

One that everyone loves and supports.

Do you think it was an uncalculated move?

I, too,

- made my calculations. - Pardon me?

You said we must deal with the people's anxiety and fear.

That is why I chose Assemblyman Oh.

Our hiring decisions

send the most powerful message that shows our determination.

No one has spoken for the people's anger and anxiety better than he has.

If he were to join our government,

then

the love and support of the people who identified with him

will provide an impetus to our operations.

It'll help us hold out until we capture Myung Hae Joon, at the very least.

Science majors are impressive.

He's an extremely quick learner.

He already figured out how to change the public sentiment.

Mr. Kim, what do you think?

Oh, right. I agree with you, sir. A hundred percent.

What? It's a great idea.

A magnanimous leader who embraces Assemblyman Oh,

who took a shot at him.

The media will be all over it.

It portrays his character with a touching story.

Sure, it may be a blockbuster.

However, I'm certain that it won't have a happy ending.

He's embarked on his political career.

He'll try to lock horns with the President on every issue.

"I'm not like Park Mu-jin. Park Mu-jin is wrong."

He'll need to prove that to the public.

Why must we engage in such an exhausting war of attrition?

As the Acting President, President Park has much to do,

but not much time.
