(Episode 15)
Long time no see,
my son.
When you think it's all over is when it really begins.
We can't change anything.
What's going on?
The anesthetic is completely useless.
Maybe it's because I've been shot with one before.
Next time, you'd better prepare one that's a lot stronger.
Thank you for raising me to be a great test subject, Mother.
What's going on?
He must be immune to it
because he was already given anesthetics once.
But I had no idea it'd be useless already.
What are you doing? Go get him!
Take another step from there,
and you'll see a horrific scene that will be unforgettable.
Don't just stand there. Get him!
I'll repay you for your cooperation with a nice position.
What am I doing?
Should I turn the car around?
Oh my gosh.
Jung Woo? What are you doing in here?
How have you been, sir?
I've missed you.
You freak.
You should keep running. Why are you here?
I understand what happened in the coroner's office
It was understandable given your position.
Hey. Well I had no choice.
Jung Woo.
Are you really the killer?
What changes if I'm not?
I'm losing my mind here. What's going on?
Oh Jung Hwan, the chief secretary from the Blue House.
The one who is bugging you.
How do you know that?
He is scheming something big.
What?
Something that must never happen.
We have to stop him. Please help me.
What did you say earlier?
You said when you think it's over is when it really begins.
You must be confused.
Do you know how much our foundation spends on cops?
Nothing will change just because a few cops from our payroll
show up here.
What about me? And Lieutenant Gong?
And our Special Team?
Just because you have some higher ups in your back pocket,
you think all 120,000 officers are your puppets, right?
Give me a break.
Darn it. I have two kids who still have to go to college.
My faith in the government has crumbled,
and being a police officer
is no longer something I'm proud of.
Let's not do something I'd be ashamed of.
I don't want to be humiliated.
Listen carefully.
We received a tip that our officer is in danger in the basement.
Even if people lost faith in us,
we the police should not be threatened by criminals.
Darn it. This is wrong!
What are you waiting for? Arrest them all!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Get moving. This way.
I think we should go.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir!
I'll see you again real soon.
I'll check here. You guys go look for them.
- Get moving! - Yes, sir!
Jung Woo. Are you okay?
What took you so long?
How could we find this place?
We had no idea where you were. It took us forever.
I'll give you my jacket. Put it over your head.
I can't afford to have people see that I helped a fugitive.
I'm fine. Help him.
Who is he?
None of your business.
You freak. How could you tie up a person with chains like that?
Darn it. How do I free him from this?
How did Jung Woo find the basement?
I don't know either.
Where are we now?
Where do you plan to go?
Stop worrying. It's not like you.
You punk. I saved your life.
Jung Woo. Are you really okay?
Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself.
Who knows what Oh Jung Hwan will plan next?
Darn it.
I lost them all.
What is going on here?
Will you really not tell me?
Thanks for today.
You're a good person.
Captain. Are you okay?
Who's this?
Is he the 34-year-old man you've been searching for?
You should give him to the police. Why did you bring him here?
You have to clear your name for the forewarned murders.
I'll be cleared eventually.
But that's not important right now.
If that's not important, what is?
Aren't you sick of being on the run?
I'm also against handing him over right now.
Not you too.
There's a good chance he has a dissociative identity disorder.
I think I can help you.
I'll get my computer.
I can at least find out which hospital it was.
I won't forgive you either.
When I met him again in White Night Village,
he was a completely different person.
Dissociative identity disorder? As in multiple personality disorder?
Even if we bring him to the police,
if a character other than the killer is in control,
he won't remember anything.
Then he'll be found incompetent
and there won't be any evidence to try him with.
Above all else
He'll think he's being abandoned again.
That's right.
Still, we must uncover the truth.
Actually, I also suffered from a dissociative identity disorder.
But it was due to the trauma from the Night of Tragedy.
The third child said the same thing.
You left me alone in the darkness
and ran off to save yourselves.
I won't forgive you either.
All of us are victims
from that night.
Yes.
That hurts.
I'm not blaming you.
It was my fault. That's why I want to put everything back
to how it should be.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
- Oh Jung Hwan? - Hush.
Here.
Look.
Talk about timing.
Hwang Byung Chul speaking.
What are you trying to pull?
- Dad! - I didn't know you were there.
Had I known, I wouldn't have gone.
I only heard that an officer was being held hostage.
Where is Do Jung Woo now?
I don't know either.
I thought you worried a lot about your family,
but I guess not.
Darn it.
Wait a second. You're threatening me now, right?
I was just
I was simply voicing my thoughts about you.
But I'm sorry.
I saw too much last night that I shouldn't have.
It would be one thing if only I saw them,
but many of the officers saw quite a lot too.
Anyway, I'll make sure none of them talk.
So stop calling me!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad, please let me go outside.
Where are you going to go?
Dad
Dad
What are you doing?
What's the matter with you?
What are you doing?
Kyung Min.
You have a guest.
What's going on?
I saved you from getting killed by the third child.
But
I don't know when he might come back for you again.
Do Jung Woo took him.
- What? - Why are you so startled?
You already knew about him.
I understand that you're angry at me for not telling you
about the third child.
But I have no idea what's going on right now.
So you're not a spy?
Why would I be a spy?
We need children.
- Children? - Because of Do Jung Woo,
it's become impossible for us to find children for the experiment.
We need children under the age of 14.
You want to become the chairman of the foundation?
Forget becoming the chairman.
This might be your last chance to save your life.
Do you remember Dr. Cho Hyun Hee?
Yes, I remember.
(Cho Hyun Hee)
- She's our mother. - She's your mother?
Son Min Ho was the manager of White Night Village,
- and Cho Hyun Hee was - The chief of research.
But what about her?
I met her yesterday.
What surprised me
was that she hadn't aged at all.
How is that possible?
I think she used my formula and did an experiment on herself.
"Formula"?
Then is that formula the reason why they keep looking for you?
I guess it worked.
Then where is the formula?
Do you have it?
I need to go get some air.
Are you okay?
Yes.
No.
This is very confusing.
Because Cho Hyun Hee is alive?
I had totally forgotten about my birth mother.
And I didn't think it'd affect me
even if I ever got to meet her one day.
I bet you're even more shocked by the fact she still looks the same.
After I got my memory back,
I dimly started to remember what our mother was like.
But it wasn't a warm memory.
I don't quite remember what she looked like.
But that madness
I still remember the madness in her eyes.
Do you think things would've been different
if you hadn't come up with that formula?
Probably.
I'm pretty sure the experiment didn't go perfectly well.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be looking for me so desperately.
I guess you're right.
I should get some rest.
I got shocked way too many times today.
I don't think you should go home for a while.
Are you worried?
You should book a hotel nearby.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
- Sir. - My gosh, you startled me.
- What happened to our captain? - Quiet.
How do you guys know?
How does everyone know about it when it's a secret operation?
How's the captain? Is he okay?
- How would I know? - Sir.
(Hwang Byung Chul)
Yes, he's fine.
I saved him and gave him a ride yesterday.
- I don't know where he went though. - Thank goodness.
You did great, sir. I admire you so much.
- You're great. - Cut the nonsense.
You're such an exemplary police officer.
- Get off me. - Thank you, sir.
I get it, so get off. Get off.
Thank you so much, sir.
How is it going?
Hey, you're here.
It's not too bad.
- Good work. - These days, all you need
is a cell phone and a computer to start your own channel.
Exactly. So what if we don't have high-tech gear?
Our job is to make sure our citizens hear what they need to know.
Right, Mr. No?
Well, yes. But it's still a lot better
to get monthly paychecks at the broadcasting company.
This is all because I ended up with a bad partner.
What?
Gosh, this is so sour.
This candy is so sour. I picked a really sour one.
You just wait.
We'll soon come across a really big scoop
and shock the other broadcasting stations.
(Baek Won Il, Died in November, 1994)
(Ji Hyung Geun, 106 years old if still alive)
(White Night Genetic Engineering Lab Opening Ceremony)
How's Dr. Leighton?
She pretended to be okay.
So you're saying you could tell how she was feeling,
but she didn't tell you?
Then why not just ask?
You guys are twins.
You're the one who told me
that it's natural to be disappointed in my dad.
So what's with the awkwardness?
We didn't really have time
to build a connection as a family.
What was that sound?
- Old Man, I need a sedative. - Okay.
Here.
- Give me the key. - Pardon?
Give me the car key. I'll drive the car myself.
Why did you open the door without checking?
I could've been a stranger.
How is it here?
Is it comfortable?
I'll only be staying here temporarily,
so it's not much different to my place.
I'm going to drink coffee. Do you want one too?
Sure.
Korea is a lot more convenient than what I expected.
You're able to drink a sweet cup of latte at home.
So if you're here to tell me to go back to the States,
don't even bother.
I was one of the people in charge of this case anyway,
and I'm also directly involved in it.
I'm not here to tell you to leave.
Yesterday, you seemed
a little sad.
Are you worrying about me?
Why? Because you're my big brother?
Or because you know that I'm aware of that fact?
This really isn't like you. You know that, right?
Yes, I know. But I still need to say what needs to be said.
You don't need to feel that way. It's possible that Cho Hyun Hee
thinks of us as test subjects rather than her own children.
That's nonsense.
She's our parent after all.
"Parent"?
That's a very unfamiliar word.
I don't remember much about our parent,
but I sometimes think of something.
But wait a minute.
Why aren't you using honorifics?
You're my little twin sister, so why would I use honorifics?
You can do the same.
I find it more comfortable to use honorifics.
And I have a name, you know.
What do you want me to call you?
Dr. Leighton sounds too formal.
Hey, Jamie.
See? It sounds weird.
But you're right.
You also had a name.
Ji Hee
Ji Hee, wake up.
Jung Woo.
- Did you dream of something? - How did you know?
I also dreamt of something.
What kind of dream?
It was a sad dream.
My dream was really scary.
I don't remember what it was about.
But it was really scary.
What's the matter?
Mom.
Hey.
Did you have another nightmare?
It's okay. You're okay. I'm right here.
(Cho Hyun Hee)
Yes, I remember.
But don't you remember what happened after that?
It's gotten worse.
We should keep an eye on her.
Do you think it's a side effect?
There's nothing we can do.
Those with higher IQs tend to suffer from night terror.
The other test subjects are also sensitive to dreams.
But it's a lot worse for her.
She got injections ever since she was a fetus,
so I'm not even surprised.
I only did that for the success of the experiment.
Cut the nonsense.
I need to keep looking into it.
- What are they talking about? - Be quiet.
Your real family is in the States.
So you should go back to them.
See? I knew you were going to say that.
Gosh.
This really is sweet.
Is it your hobby to change subjects?
The reason the third child turned into a monster
is all because of White Night Village.
But you just want me to go without seeing an end to this?
No way. I can't do that.
White Night Foundation created White Night Village,
and I won't leave before I see they're destroyed.
I'm even ready to risk my life.
- Your life? - Yes, that's right.
My little sister really doesn't listen.
- Hey, you're here. - Hey.
How is he?
The same as yesterday.
What's that?
The drug that Oh Jung Hwan gave.
It's probably a drug to minimize the side effects of the experiment.
They obviously needed serum to continue the experiment.
"Minimize"?
Dissociative identity disorder is one of the side effects.
So it might make wake him up.
Yes, if it works.
It's been a while, so I should inject some again.
The two of them also just left me here.
Don't go! Don't leave me here all by myself!
No one is going to save us.
It's better to kill than to be scared of dying.
I don't have any friends.
Life is a lonely journey anyway.
I'm going to kill everyone.
Jung Woo.
Honey.
It's dangerous.
The drug isn't perfect.
65 percent of the homeless people that we used for the study died.
35 percent became brain dead.
The last one just died recently.
Then give me the completed drug.
Bring me the drug that can extend her life!
Why is it not ready yet?
You said it was almost complete.
Because it has just been erased.
I'm trying to find out what it was, but there are too many variables.
We need time to figure out the exact formula.
Time, time You and your time!
How long? It has been almost 10 years!
Time isn't the only problem.
We don't have much serum left from the kids from the village.
Once we use them up,
we can't produce the drug.
I've seen the completed formula that you speak of.
I need time to repeat the study
Stop simplifying it!
Do you know how many kids, homeless people, and thugs
we've gone through already?
We will succeed.
We just need children, under the age of 14,
whose serum is easily separated.
They'll be the samples that keep receiving the drug.
Hyun Hee. We're running out of time.
Do whatever it takes to produce the drug with the serum you have left.
If you don't. the study won't be the only thing that ends.
Why are you taking my blood?
I want to make sure my son isn't sick.
What about me?
Should I stick a needle in you too?
No!
This will sting a little.
Unlike
the test samples that the others received,
the injection you received
was based on Do Jung Woo's serum, correct?
Did you predict this result?
You know that I became a test subject
knowing I might die from it.
And you know why.
If Do Jung Woo's serum gave you eternal youth
It's okay. Calm down.
I
I'm sorry.
You're back, right?
Are you awake?
You are Do Jung Woo.
So you remember.
Aren't you hungry?
Do you want some cup noodles?
No, I'm fine.
Did you just laugh?
You laughed, right?
Anyway, what's going on?
The last thing I remember is being abducted.
You remember that?
What else?
As the two completely different identities merged into one,
their memories and thoughts would've merged as well.
We gave you a drug.
We don't know what will happen once it wears off,
so let's wait and see.
Was the serum from the third child effective?
Yes. It is separating quickly and is reacting nicely.
But we don't have a lot of the serum.
We'll make the drug somehow with their serum,
but we can't guarantee the effect.
There is one other child from White Night Village
that survived, correct?
I'm glad he woke up.
He's still unstable. We have to wait and see.
My dad is the only connection to the lab.
Why don't I try to persuade him again?
Dad. How have you been?
Can we meet for a minute?
Why are you up here? You should rest.
What? Do you want to say something?
Thank you.
I even tried to kill you,
but you saved me.
I had no choice.
That day 28 years ago,
I had no choice but to leave you there alone
when I went back to the village to get my sister.
I looked for my sister like crazy, but I couldn't find her.
By the time I went back to the boat, you were gone.
It may sound like I'm making excuses,
but ever since that day,
I've tried to atone for what I did
to White Night Village and for leaving you there
all by yourself.
I'm sorry for making you live this way.
I'm sincerely sorry.
I made this happen.
I'm standing on an empty road all by myself.
The sun is shining brightly.
And the clock that's never wrong says it's 12.
Then I wonder to myself.
"Is it noon"
"or midnight?"
You're a monster.
You're a monster.
You're a monster!
No!
Oh my gosh. What now?
Bathroom.
No!
Jung Woo! What's wrong?
Ouch My candy.
Okay. Hang on!
Dad.
If you turn yourself in now,
they'll hold that favorably toward you.
Let's stop talking about that.
Then tell me where the secret lab is.
I'll take care of everything.
Is this why you wanted to see me?
Hye Won. Let's say you're a doctor.
And you have five patients waiting for organs.
They'll die if they don't get a transplant right away.
A healthy person was in an accident and brought into the ER.
He'll become a vegetable even if you save him.
If you extract his organs and give them to the others,
you can save five people. What would you do?
You can't take out organs from a person who's alive.
That's murder.
Yes. You can't do that.
What if you can save the donor
and the recipients?
There's nothing to worry about then.
What I'm trying to do is that very thing.
A way to save mankind.
Too many children died already.
If Jung Woo hadn't erased the formula
Or if he had given us the formula afterward,
we could've saved those lives.
I don't want to talk about this with you.
We should've just gone out to eat.
All you need is the formula?
Captain gave me a pair of glasses.
They were VR glasses that are connected to a server.
I think
there was a formula in there.
What I'm trying to do
is for mankind.
Are you shocked to see me here?
You're still using my daughter.
I was afraid it would be dangerous. That's why I came in her place.
You've hurt my feelings.
Are those the glasses with the formula?
Who knows?
It depends on what you give me.
I have nothing to give you.
Fine, then.
What are you doing?
You said you had nothing for me,
so I'm going to break them.
You wouldn't step on them if they're real.
You'll need something to bargain with.
You're smart.
Where did you move the lab?
If that formula is correct,
and the drug is perfected
Once we confirm that, I'll tell you.
Why are you obsessing over the drug that hasn't been proven?
I came up with the formula, and I'm not sure if it's correct.
I saw it.
I saw people who succeeded in the experiment.
I saw with my own eyes.
Keep your promise.
(White Night Village Key Members)
("White Night Village Collaborates with Army")
(Grand Opening of White Night Biotechnology Laboratory)
(Baek Won Il, Ji Hyung Geun, Yoo Kwon)
I saw it.
I saw people who succeeded in the experiment.
"People"?
That means there's someone else in addition to Cho Hyun Hee.
(Baek Won Il, Died in November, 1994)
(Ji Hyung Geun, 106 years old if still alive)
(Gong Il Do)
Hello?
The formula has been completed.
Do you mean it?
I can make enough
for one injection with what we have now.
But we need more serum if we want to continue the experiment.
You mean the fourth child. I understand.
One more thing.
Even if we create the drug with this serum,
we can't guarantee its safety.
So we need more test subjects in my opinion.
I'll prepare that as well.
Yes.
Thank you.
Don't you want to know what happened?
No. Your face says it all.
I had my hopes, though.
It's quite difficult to obtain the children.
- Sorry. - It's fine now.
Listen, I've tried my best
That's not it.
I'm saying I made a mistake in how I treated you.
Mr. President wants to see you.
- He does? - Yes.
He scolded me severely for being rude
and unappreciative of all that you did.
I'm sorry, sir.
Sure. There's no need to apologize.
You can go home. I'm meeting the pres
(White Night Foundation)
After you.
Where is this place?
I've brought you the guinea pig.
Now, we just need the fourth child.
I gave my all to you.
Is this what I get for it?
You were a lab rat born to be used in an experiment.
We fed you, housed you, and even paid you.
We let you live like a human being. You should be grateful.
Do Jung Woo was right.
Now,
do you need my serum too?
It was you after all. You weasel.
It should end quickly since you know what will happen.
Finish it. Let's go.
Do you think
I'll let you take me that easily?
What? Like you have someone protecting you?
He does have someone protecting him.
What is this place?
This isn't the secret lab.
When I survived from White Night Village,
I resented the person who did that to the village.
I didn't think about what the kids and I went through there.
When I thought my life was being ruined, Oh Jung Hwan showed up.
He took me in when I had no desire to live.
That was why I decided to devote my life to him.
- But? - You showed up.
You shot me with the anesthesia
so that Oh Jung Hwan wouldn't suspect you.
I've developed a resistance, so it won't work on me.
Will I be under your watch forever now?
Nothing lasts forever.
You shouldn't treat someone
who served you all his life like an object now.
I'm not treating him like an object.
I'm simply taking back my test subject.
"Taking back your test subject." That's good and all,
but someone so high up shouldn't be in this dark place.
Especially with just one person. What if something happens to you?
Are you worrying about me?
I'm not worried. But I went through some annoying things to get here.
I was working my tail off to find the president.
- It got annoying. - Fine.
So did you find the president after working your tail off?
I did.
You're right here.
Mr. President.
(Awaken)
I made a deal with Do Jung Woo.
Did you sacrifice all those kids to make this drug?
To live forever?
Mom.
My daughter grew up so nicely.
Drop the garbage, and return Dr. Leighton.
Jung Woo!
Captain! What are you doing?
The two of us need to disappear for this tragedy to end.
No. Don't do it.
That's why you were born.
My monster.
I don't remember
why I'm here or how I got here.
You're not a normal person.
(A man on the run hiding his power to change the world)
I can live like someone without any powers.
Just wait. I'll set things right.
"L.U.C.A.: The Beginning". Coming soon.
