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

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

This is the Data Processing Office. We've restored the call logs.

Could you send the file to me right now?

Are you the Minister of National Defense?

This is Secretary Cha Yeong-jin.

She has a gun.

Shit.

- Guards! - She has a gun!

Guards!

- Run! - We need to get out of here!

Are you all right?

Where is Mr. President? I heard two gunshots.

They'll be arriving in a moment. Please clear the way.

- Get ready quickly. - Yes, sir.

Entrance cleared.

Out of the way!

We'll move him to the bed. One, two, three!

Please start an IV drip.

And request a CT scan.

I'll check your wound first, sir.

One, two, three.

A bullet penetrated his chest from the underarm toward the thorax.

We'll need to perform a CT scan to see whether his lungs and veins are damaged.

But there were two. We heard two gunshots.

Do you see only one gunshot wound?

Yes, I only see one on the President. It went through him.

- Get the portable x-ray ready. - Yes, doctor.

Sir.

So the other bullet didn't hit him,

thanks to Assemblyman Oh... I mean, Minister Oh.

Life is so unpredictable, indeed.

Minister Oh was almost not at the ceremony today.

Isn't that right?

I'm relieved that no one else got hurt.

Hello? Yes, Reporter Yu. This is Kim Nam-wook.

I can't say anything about the President's condition at the moment.

Until we release our official statement...

Positive or not,

no news story should be published based on mere speculation.

Right.

This isn't just about the President's health, as you know.

This concerns national security.

A number of bullet fragments are lodged in your chest.

You see this, right?

It's highly likely that the fragments will rupture your artery.

His artery? Which one?

The aorta.

You didn't lose a lot of blood,

and the wound may not look that serious,

but you basically have a ticking time bomb inside your chest.

Your life will be in danger.

He needs surgery right away.

Will it be a major surgery?

It is a tricky one, so it'll take quite a while.

I'd say, about ten hours?

Ten hours in the operating room?

Including the time for the anesthesia, he'll be in there for at least 12 hours.

In other words, the Head of Government

of the Republic of Korea will not be able to make

any decisions or choices for the next 12 hours.

It also means

that the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces...

will be unreachable for over 12 hours.

While there's inter-Korean tension.

Article 71 of the Constitution.

"If the President is unable

to perform his or her duties for any reason,

the members of the State Council

shall act for him or her."

- This is... - Are you trying to say

we're in that situation now?

Where the President is unable to perform his duties?

The office of the President cannot be vacant, no matter what.

I'm relieved...

that this is happening after we appointed all the Cabinet members.

Didn't we need to establish

the nonparty cabinet to be prepared for a day like this?

Who holds the most seniority

among the newly appointed ministers?

It would be the Minister of Strategy and Finance.

Let's find out where he is.

Move! Out of the way!

Move. He suffered a gunshot wound!

This way, please.

That's the Minister of Strategy and Finance, Hong Seung-gi.

The other bullet didn't miss.

Then who is next in line?

Who's next?

Did you people cook up this ruse

to make me the Acting President?

We simply chose the quickest and the most effective way.

- This time... - You should've consulted me beforehand!

You couldn't have

objected anyway.

We share

the same goal after all.

Minister Oh Yeong-seok.

Minister Oh

of National Defense is the next in line.

(DAY 39: THE ACTING PRESIDENT, OH YEONG-SEOK)

Eunsan Building, Room 1306.

A key to the building where the sniper was.

Why do you have this?

Are you not going to answer?

You'll exercise your right to remain silent?

Shall I answer it for you?

You knew about the assassination attempt of President Park beforehand.

Neither the Blue House's security team nor NIS knew about it,

but you knew ahead of time.

Why?

Because you're one of them.

You fired your gun

to distract the Blue House security guards.

To buy some time for the sniper to flee the scene.

Right?

What do you think?

There is a 10 to 15 percent chance he might die on the table,

which isn't too bad.

It's just that the surgery itself is complicated.

Are you the Minister of National Defense?

This is Secretary Cha Yeong-jin.

The President is in the room now, right?

What's the matter? Is there something you need to report to...

I guess she's really worried about him.

She is so kindhearted, don't you agree?

How could you work

as a spokesperson with that face?

Why? I have a very photogenic face.

You have no poker face.

You're so easy to read.

No, I'm not.

- It must have been terrifying. - Yes.

- Are you all right? - How's Ms. Choe holding up?

Let's talk inside.

Assemblywoman Yun...

Then I'll contact Assemblywoman Yun right away

and tell her that you'd like to speak with her in person.

I must say, you and your secretaries

are all unbelievable.

You're severely injured.

You're going in for surgery any minute now.

There's a newly appointed minister who can fill in, so why...

Right? So why...

is my scary wife nagging me

in the midst of all this?

Gosh, seriously...

Are you all right?

Yes.

You know, don't you?

For me and the kids,

no one could ever

replace you.

Contact Assemblywoman Yun,

get the glasses fixed,

and get Si-wan and Si-jin...

My apologies, sir.

- Wait. - Yes, sir.

Oh, Assemblywoman Yun Chan-gyeong would like to meet... I mean,

The President would like to meet with Assemblywoman Yun Chan-gyeong.

No, it's not that.

There, on your cuff.

Oh, thank you. My mind has been all over the place.

I mean I'm totally focused this time, Secretary Han.

You don't have to worry.

That's a relief.

Secretary Han?

President Park...

will be okay.

He'll really...

be...

That's right.

We all know.

President Park

is okay.

He even has a protocol administrator

like you by his side.

I heard you're getting an emergency surgery, sir.

Was it that urgent to meet me before that?

(MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE OH YEONG-SEOK)

According to Article 71 of the Constitution,

you will have all acting authority

over administration and as Commander-in-Chief

until President Park returns to work.

Are you saying I should keep Minister Oh in check?

Did you find Agent Han?

If you haven't found evidence

that Minister Oh was related to the bomber as Agent Han asserts,

you wouldn't be asking me this right now.

You will be absent for 12 hours at the most.

I'm just asking you...

to keep him in check as the leader of the opposing party.

Just like you did...

with me until now.

I'll do my best since the task was given to me.

Okay.

The members of my party asked

what I thought about recruiting you since you are an independent.

I was against it.

You never give affirmation,

guarantee anything, or are sure about anything.
