- Here. - Let me kick it.
Over here.
Hey, come on.
- Pass it here. - Over here.
Do you think you can solve it?
Yes.
- Is this it? - Yes.
Let me join!
Okay, sure. Write it here.
- Here? - Yes. Try it.
- Go! - Over here!
Why couldn't you receive the ball I passed?
Just don't play if this is the best you can do.
I'm I'm sorry. I was just
He made a mistake while trying to score.
- You're being too mean. - Stay out of it.
You little
According to the experiment, some of the kids
are experiencing a very rapid development in intelligence.
Based on the standardized IQ test, seven got an average of 180,
and four got an average of 240.
And the highest score of them all
The purpose of our experiment isn't to raise their IQ score.
It's to stop them from fearing death.
That's just
a side effect.
That's not entirely true if you look at their cell growth.
The rise in their IQ
is due to an abnormal vegetation in their brain cells.
If we can succeed
in stirring up the telomere effect throughout their entire body,
they'll be able to overcome aging and death.
(Gong Il Do)
What's the matter?
Are you okay?
Don't just watch. Undo the buttons.
No, don't.
No, don't do that.
He's still breathing. We need to hold his head up.
- But that might cause a shock - He has an increased ICP.
Call the doctor.
Are you okay?
A vegetation of cells throughout the entire body?
It'd be great if we could control that speed.
If things go wrong, their bodies might explode
without being able to endure the pressure.
Just like how it could cause their brains to explode.
(Cell culture laboratory, Do not enter)
(Gong Il Do)
(Expired)
(Basic experiment regulations)
(Cell culture laboratory, Do not enter)
It failed again.
The milk will put you to sleep.
Tryptophan produces serotonin and melatonin.
You couldn't sleep, right?
Right?
Yes.
Good. I wanted to ask you something.
You were really good earlier.
Were you close to that kid?
- Yes. - I see.
Who taught you how to administer first aid?
No one taught me.
But when number 179 fainted earlier,
how did you do that?
Was it a coincidence?
True. It is strange.
When someone faints, you raise their feet to prevent shock.
- No. - But you wouldn't let him.
Why did you do that?
His nose was bleeding, but you didn't do anything.
As if you knew he fainted due to high intracranial pressure.
You are
very special. Okay?
You can see, right?
That you're the most special among all the kids here.
Yes. That's right.
As you should be.
My son.
Where did you go?
I went to the bathroom.
What took you so long? Did you do number two?
Sorry. My stomach hurt.
Were you scared?
Let's go back to sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep well
Don't be scared.
I'm not scared.
I'll protect you.
I promise.
(Awaken)
You're finally awake.
Do you know how hard it was to find the source of bleeding?
You are the biggest pain in the neck!
Lie back down.
Hey.
Drink this.
But that gives me a stomachache.
Okay.
I know how to make people have lucid dreams.
What are you looking for?
Please stop.
What is it? What's going on?
Please stop him. How am I supposed to work?
Hey. What are you doing? What do you think is here?
It's in here!
What is?
What's wrong with you?
He's the director of Hangang Hospital in Seoul.
Oh my gosh. What What is he doing?
Why did he slit his own stomach?
Is this fake?
But Do Jung Woo was in custody.
Isn't this impossible if Do Jung Woo is the killer?
The killer doesn't have to be there at the scene of the crime.
Whether or not Do Jung Woo was in custody is irrelevant.
Anyone could've sent the video.
- Then? - There was no forewarning.
Why is that a problem?
Kim Young Joon was the first victim, so that's fine.
But he sent me a forewarning for all the other victims.
As if he wanted his crimes to be widely known.
And once the victim died, he sent me a video.
Forewarning. Video of the result. That pattern was broken
right after Do Jung Woo was arrested.
Why?
Why did you want to see me?
To tell you something.
Go ahead.
Well
Well
Jae Woong brought up lucid dreams.
He says he can make people have lucid dreams.
He doesn't care at all about other people.
Why is he suddenly interested in lucid dreams?
I think he made a friend.
A friend? Who?
I don't know.
Make Jae Woong just do as he's told as he has been doing.
It'll be a pain if he learns about things such as lucid dreams.
Make sure he knows nothing.
Okay.
And get rid of
that friend.
But
Then
Jae Woong will be upset.
We need to give him an explanation
What is there to explain?
Just beat him up so badly that he forgets he had a friend.
You live
alone in this world.
Okay.
Make him forgets he had a friend.
Okay.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
So, you tried to catch Jung Woo,
but Kang Yoon Sung from Cyber tried to kill him, so you lost him.
Yes.
We can't locate Kang Yoon Sung.
In other words, you don't know where Jung Woo has gone.
Strengthen security around Mr. Son.
You know the higher ups are very worried about this.
If he attacks him again and we can't catch him,
you and I are both dead.
Yes, sir.
We're going to get rid of the Special Team.
- So just go home and wait. - Sir.
Some guys came to the hospital and tried to kill the captain.
Jung Woo is the killer. Stop talking nonsense.
Someone also tried to harm him when he was in prison.
He almost got killed at the hospital and even at the station.
I don't know who it is and why.
But I know for a fact that the captain is in danger.
- Just be quiet. - Sir.
Get out.
(Deputy Chief Hwang Byung Chul)
I want Mr. Son to be the only patient on that floor,
and strengthen the security there.
I don't care about hospital regulations.
(National Police Agency)
Then take me with you.
Take me too.
- Nothing's for sure yet. - I know that.
But we don't know the details.
We were just told to clean up the Special Team's office.
No, I won't let you take a single thing out of here.
Hey, put that down!
- My gosh. - Take everything.
I won't let you do this!
Stop whatever you're doing right now.
Dr. Leighton.
Salute.
What are you doing guys?
What Who are you?
Don't you know her?
She came from the FBI to help us with the investigation.
You don't know who Dr. Leighton is?
The FBI?
How dare they look down on our team?
Dr. Leighton, is there anything we can do to help?
Help which side?
The police?
Or Captain Do?
Captain Do, obviously.
You guys are so frustrating.
Superintendent Do is the culprit.
You all saw him stab Son Min Ho.
Then we should think of a way to catch the culprit.
Why are you trying to help him?
I'm sure he had a reason.
What kind of reason
gives him the right to stab someone in the neck?
Does that give him the right to kill people?
Just believe what you see. Do you understand?
I'm sure that's not what he meant.
But he's our captain!
We know
that he's not a bad person. He isn't a murderer.
I'm sure he had an unexplainable reason.
(Gopboon Tripe)
(You're all that matters to me, and the tripes are nice and juicy.)
Enjoy.
- Let me pour you a drink. - Sure.
This looks incredible. I really love cheese.
Lieutenant Gong, do you like tripe?
I absolutely love them.
Now that the food is here, let's clink glasses.
Sure.
Captain, why don't you make a toast?
Oh, okay. I welcome all of you
to the Special Team, and I look forward to working with you all.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Let me also make a toast.
Special people!
Special cases!
Let's be extraordinary!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- It's nice to meet you guys. - Nice to meet you all.
I hope we can have team dinners every day.
Let's eat.
- It's nice. Eat up. - Great.
It's good.
Ma'am, can we have another serving of stir-fried tripe?
We just started eating. Why would you order another serving?
Can we have two servings?
Here.
There's no one to trust in this world.
Ji Wook, you can trust this one. This one is legitimate.
I checked, and this clip wasn't fabricated.
But how can anyone live like this?
I guess they can.
My gosh, this is crazy.
(Director Lee Byung Sun Gets Hospitalized due to Severe Illness)
It's a complete lie.
The police think
the captain is going to attack Son Min Ho again.
So they blocked all the routes leading to the hospital.
Why would Superintendent Do attack Son Min Ho again?
Exactly. He wouldn't do that.
If he wanted to kill him, he would've done that already.
He avoided the carotid artery when he stabbed him.
I told you he'd never kill anyone.
He avoided the carotid artery?
If he stabbed the carotid artery
and took out the twig,
he would've died due to severe bleeding.
But he didn't do that.
He threatened Son Min Ho with his life
in order to get information from him.
I don't know what it is that he wanted to know, though.
Then are we no longer going to investigate Son Min Ho?
No. I'm going to meet him right now.
You're going to go see him?
But you said the captain won't try to attack him again.
That may apply to Superintendent Do,
but that doesn't mean we're done with him too.
We should ask what Superintendent Do wanted to find out.
"We"?
I think I'm really dumb.
I'm glad you know. Come on. Let's go.
Gosh, you startled me. What are you looking at?
Did you really kill someone?
You sell drugs to buy a sports car.
That's not the same.
I don't think I'll ever be able to kill anyone.
Even if your grandma dies?
Why would you say that?
My grandma's going to live a really long life.
Okay, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
What's with you?
The moment I met you, I noticed
the darkness within your eyes.
Are you up?
One guy almost died,
and the other guy might die soon. You guys make a nice couple.
He almost died.
So I'm the one who might die soon?
Why am I going to die soon?
I heard there are lots of people who are after you.
Don't sell drugs in my area.
I don't want to.
But I need a bit more money for my grandma's surgery.
Gosh, you'll get yourself killed soon.
The drugs he sells
are strong enough to make a few guys pass out.
Let's see.
I did what I could to treat you, but I'm not quite sure.
I don't know if I was able to stop the bleeding completely.
I think the scalpel accidentally hit an organ.
Yes, it's hard to say.
Seriously? It's hard to say?
You can even feel your organs?
I'll be able to move around in 3 to 4 hours.
You did okay.
Then do you also know when you're going to die?
When is your brain going to explode?
Just give me some candy.
If you open the drawer, you'll find some candy.
Give me one.
Isn't this just normal candy?
No, it's candy for adults.
It's for the better.
Just quit doing that dangerous job.
Find a decent guy from your dad's laboratory
and marry him.
Then have cute kids and live a happy life.
Will you be quiet for a moment?
What?
This isn't important right now, Mom.
Does Dad's laboratory do experiments on human cells?
Here's what's important. If you don't have work,
you should at least clean the house.
Mom, please.
Remember White Night Village?
I think the experiment they did there is similar
to the experiment that Dad does.
They did experiments on human cells.
Does he know anyone who knows about that?
You're being nonsense.
Listen. Your dad only cares about his work.
He wouldn't even notice if someone dies right next to him.
I'm sure he doesn't know anyone.
Former superintendent, Do Jung Woo, who killed five people,
suddenly collapsed while being taken to the prosecutors' office
and got taken to the hospital.
- Mom, don't watch this. - But while being treated,
he escaped from the hospital.
And the public is in complete shock.
Do you have any news regarding where Do Jung Woo may be?
No, not yet.
Where is he, and what is he up to?
Is he dead or alive?
How is Mr. Son doing?
We emptied all the hospital rooms on the floor he's staying in.
We also strengthened the security.
Make sure they protect him.
You never know when Do Jung Woo might show up again.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
Yes, sir. I'll be right there.
Let's go. I need to go meet the commissioner.
Call me if anything happens.
Okay, sir.
They have tight security. Will we be able to meet him?
No wonder Superintendent Do thought of killing four people.
No, wait. Is it five?
(Security Camera 3)
Hello, sir.
Oh, here.
We received a robbery report in one of the patient rooms.
So I need to check the CCTVs. Can you please cooperate?
Sure. Hold on a second.
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm I'm at home.
Were you home all day?
Oh, well No. I
I I came home after work.
Is Lieutenant Yoon with you?
You have an easy life working for the government,
so you must not know how serious this issue is.
(Head of Information Management, Lee Taek Jo)
I bet you think you guys are cool for being so loyal.
So I'm sure you don't know how much you'll regret it
once you mess up your lives.
You need to look out for yourselves.
I don't know where you are and what you're doing,
but you'd better stop right now.
What are you doing? Aren't you going to get ready?
Oh, right.
A nurse?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Say hello. You know him, right?
He's Mr. Oh Jung Hwan, the chief secretary of the Blue House.
It's nice to meet you, sir.
I'm Hwang Byung Chul, the deputy chief of the National Police Agency.
It's nice to meet you.
The commissioner already told me how competent you are.
Thank you for the compliment, sir.
It's nice to meet you in person.
Come and sit down.
Okay.
I heard you were Superintendent Do's boss.
Yes.
He's become a big issue, so it must be very tiring for you.
I apologize. I should've noticed earlier
and made sure things didn't get out of hand.
Do you still not know
where he is?
No, we don't know anything for now.
But we'll do our best to make sure we catch him as fast as possible.
I'm sorry for worrying you, sir.
I knew it.
Why is the chief secretary of the Blue House
so interested in Do Jung Woo?
(Nurse's Station)
(Supply Room, Authorized Personnel Only)
They only allow 1 doctor and 1 nurse
to enter his room.
I'll hack into the system and add your photos and names
onto the list of authorized personnel.
Why won't it change?
Why won't it change?
Please wait.
(Yoon Soo Kyung, Jung Il Geon)
This is driving me crazy.
We have no time for this.
Come on.
This should work.
Wait. Wait.
(Goseong University Hospital)
It worked.
(Goseong University Hospital)
You can go inside now.
(VIP Ward)
If you don't want to clean, then do the dishes
Where did she go?
(Chorokmaeum Psychiatric Clinic)
The last survivor cut her own throat at a psychiatric clinic.
We're obligated to protect our patients.
So you can't check their medical records without a warrant.
I can't tell you the name of her doctor either.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
There's nothing I can do.
(Captain?)
Excuse me.
Sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Sir?
What
Nyah Nyah.
If anyone happens to kill my grandma,
do you think I should kill that person?
I think I might be able to.
But at the same time, it also scares me.
I don't think I'd be able to.
I just want my grandma to be around for a long time.
Can't I just think of it like that?
Yes, she'll live a long life.
Stop selling drugs. You're the only person who can protect her.
Just worry about yourself. I'll take care of myself.
Why are you letting him leave?
He hasn't even recovered yet.
You told me he's terminally ill.
He's leaving because he's okay.
You never know when he might come back again.
I don't understand anything he says
or what goes on his mind, so don't let him grow on you too much.
It looks like he's grown on you already.
You should eat if an adult tells you to eat.
How long will you resist?
If you want to die, go die outside.
Look at that. Look at those eyes.
You look like a dried up anchovy,
but you look vicious.
You should look down when an adult talks to you.
Didn't your parents teach you that?
This is why a proper upbringing is so important.
I never got any of that.
You shouldn't say things like that
to someone who clearly has no parents.
Didn't your parents teach you that?
What What was that?
Why would a kid with parents go around like this, starving?
Just come out and ask me
if my parents abandoned me.
Look at this punk.
You pity me but you speak meanly to my face.
Do you think that's cool?
You're delusional.
Of all the crazy
I wasn't abandoned.
I never had a mom or dad.
Why do people here
assume a child has a mom and dad?
Because that's a given.
Unless you crawled out of an egg,
you have a mom and dad.
Even that egg was laid by a mom.
So what?
You have no mom and dad, so you'll show no respect?
On what basis must I show respect?
Age? Intelligence?
My gosh. This punk
Amazing.
So, you'll show no respect and you won't eat?
- I don't know. - What?
- I can't hear you. - I don't know how to eat this.
I've never seen it before.
You've never seen ramen before?
Or this.
So don't do that.
Do you think he really killed people?
Will he really die?
If you inject a fever reducer directly into the vein,
it stops the heart in 10 minutes.
You need to inject an antagonist within five minutes.
What did Superintendent Do want to know?
If I tell you that,
the foundation won't forgive me.
The foundation.
Whatever that may be, you'll die either way.
Shouldn't you try to stay alive for the time being at least?
What if I tell you I'm also from White Night Village?
Will that help?
Five minutes is very short.
I'll ask again.
What did Superintendent Do want to know from you?
(Superintendent Do Jung Woo)
This person came by
the day Kim Sun Ok died?
He said he was a cop.
My gosh. He had quite a temper.
Excuse me! Who are you?
Check the CCTVs and find out where she is.
Once you find her, call this number.
What are you doing? Get moving already.
Oh, okay.
Mr. Jung. Come here.
- Why? - Come here.
He's a caretaker. He has been here for years.
I'm sure he knows about that patient.
Three kids destroyed the village.
They were very special in the lab.
They were always together.
They were kids? How?
I don't know.
It was just very similar to these serial murders.
Everyone acted strange,
and killed everyone who deserved to be dead as if it was nothing.
That's how I knew those kids were back.
They weren't on the list of survivors,
so everyone said they were dead.
Weren't you afraid that they'd come after you?
Why do you think I had all those guards
and lived in that strange house?
Give me the antagonist now.
In other words,
human tests are still being conducted somewhere.
The core members are still the same.
That's what Superintendent Do found out.
And he is one of those three kids from back then.
Give me
Oh no.
Doctor, what do we do now?
Even if you inject a fever reducer into the vein,
it can't stop the heart.
What I injected was a sleep inducer.
- Darn it. - Well,
it does make a person tell the truth though.
Let's go.
She was a total psycho.
She said she was being chased and that someone was going to take her.
She said she'd rather die than be taken,
and caused that mess.
That's right. She kept running away and hiding,
so I always had to find her.
She said she'd rather die than go back there.
She'd rather die than go back?
Yes. I don't know where she was referring to.
She was so scared.
She didn't seem human.
She looked like a terrified wildcat.
Gosh, that's what she was like.
That's why she did something so terrifying.
It was total mayhem with blood everywhere.
The strange thing is, the police never came.
That's because it was suicide.
I called it in.
But that woman climbed up a wall.
Stop that.
(Blue House)
(Oh Jung Hwan Appointed As New Member of Blue House)
(Oh Jung Hwan)
(Oh Jung Hwan)
(School director, Assemblyman, President's Chief Secretary)
(Chorokmaeum Psychiatric Clinic)
(Captain Do Jung Woo)
(Captain?)
(Attention seeker Lee Ji Wook)
What's wrong with you? Stop writing garbage like that!
Calm down. Come here and sit.
(Lee Ji Wook's "Zoom In")
What is it?
Look at this.
What about it?
Son Min Ho was Do Jung Woo's target.
But this video that was sent to me was of Nam Woo Cheon,
not Son Min Ho.
And
- What's this? - A new forewarned murder.
I received this although your captain was in custody.
There was no forewarning.
I guess the one who sent them is not the one who sent the videos.
If it was the same person, you would've gotten both or neither.
If Captain is one of the two,
he has to be the one sending the forewarnings,
but he couldn't send one this time.
Then who's the one sending the videos?
I don't know.
What do you think you're doing?
Hey.
I wasn't doing anything.
I said to just do as you're told.
I I was just looking
Stop running your mouth.
Don't write about anything I'm about to say now.
What?
If I don't write about it, what use is it to me?
It'll all be yours later,
so trust me for now.
They conducted human testing in White Night Village.
The test subjects were children under the age of 10.
What
I knew something shady went down in White Night Village,
but human testing
They're smart.
Did they disguise themselves as a charity to test on kids?
- What do you think they did? - Develop new drugs.
Son Min Ho made a fortune selling supplements.
Since they had a drug lab,
I thought they ran tests on supplements as well.
But no one said that.
What do you think they really did?
What were they trying to do?
Especially if it isn't over yet
Darn it.
I don't know anything.
Son Min Ho says you're the core of White Night Foundation.
No?
I got involved with the foundation because of my wife.
My late father-in-law was one of the founding directors.
Of course, not Mr. President. It's the brigadier general Yoo.
All for family.
Anyway, although things ended up the way they did,
it didn't hurt me to join the foundation.
Nonetheless, I was worried when I heard Mr. Son named me.
What do you want? I can't stand fighting.
I'll tell you anything you want if you promise to leave my house.
That easily?
Why should it be difficult?
You're helping me out.
If you keep doing what you have been,
my share will increase.
My safety is my top priority.
Okay.
You're nice and loyal.
Where's the president?
I don't know.
I know that he's still healthy at age 106,
and making all the decisions for the foundation,
but I don't know where he resides.
The only person who can see him directly is
You know that person as well.
So,
you made a drug based on my formula.
And now, the wrong person is holding onto the power.
Science really is amazing,
considering the power of that tiny drug.
Do you know the location of the secret lab?
I do not. I have no reason to go there anyway.
Why don't you ask yourself?
- What is this? - Where do you keep going?
Go to your dad's lab.
At this hour? Why?
Seriously. You and your dad are both so insensitive.
Your dad hasn't come home in days.
He hasn't changed clothes in days. He must smell awful.
Is he still doing that?
He'll probably do that for life.
I wonder if that punk has a change of clothes.
What?
Do you like Dad that much?
Why are you so thoughtful toward him when you barely even see him?
It's not like you can choose your family.
You just do what you can with the family you're given.
Okay. I'll be back soon.
Okay.
Three kids destroyed the village.
They were very special in the lab.
They were always together.
Three kids
who were always together.
What's wrong? Can we help Captain?
Son Min Ho said there were three kids missing
from the list of survivors.
One of them must be me.
Superintendent Do is another.
We must find the third.
Why must we find that child?
He said one of the three kids caused the massacre
of White Night Village 28 years ago just like today's serial murders.
If Superintendent Do and I
are not the killer,
that third child must be the killer.
You still haven't learned your lesson
Did you forget what happens if you talk to other people?
You need a bigger beating.
That convenience store chick died because of you.
Because you bring bad luck.
Because you bring bad luck. You rat.
Do Jung Woo will show up soon at the lab.
Yes, sir.
Hello. I'm Mr. Gong Il Do's daughter.
I wanted to bring him some clothes and snacks.
Okay. You're his daughter.
Give me your ID, and you can go in.
Here.
Thank you.
(White Night Biotech)
(Laboratory Director Gong Il Do)
If you love your daughter,
don't waste my time, and get right to it.
What do you want?
The location of the secret lab running the tests
and Ji Hyung Geun's residence.
I heard you shared my formula with him.
That's why he's still healthy even past the age of 100.
However, I have no way of knowing where he is
and what he's doing.
What do you plan to do?
If the wrong is being done, I should set it right.
And I have the power to do so.
Do you think Hye Won will forgive you if you kill me?
I don't want forgiveness.
How would your daughter feel if she finds out that I killed you?
Your daughter is the one who will suffer in pain.
That's why I kept her with me.
Tell me. Where's the secret lab
and where's Ji Hyung Geun?
(Awaken)
Dad?
Didn't you hear me? What are you doing here?
If something is wrong, we should set it right.
Think about it. What will happen to the world
if only the powerful live forever?
Only the foundation can save you.
Don't forget that.
This was drawn purely from memory before even meeting you.
Who said I don't want anything?
You seem very sad, mister.
The third child probably also possesses a special ability.
Did you finally figure it out?
