(All locations, characters, companies, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictional.)
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.
Who owns White Night Foundation now?
- The president... - Ji Hyung Geun?
He's still alive?
I heard there was a secret lab.
Son Min Ho never seemed to have met the president himself.
Ji Hyung Geun. Although he's retired,
he's nowhere to be seen.
And he has influence over everything but doesn't seem to exist.
I saw people who succeeded in the experiment.
He clearly said "people".
That means more than one person succeeded in the experiment.
Cho Hyun Hee.
I witnessed her success with my own two eyes.
So if there's one more person, it has to be you.
Don't you think you're just jumping to conclusions?
Among all the board members of White Night Foundation,
you're the only one who has no records...
from before the Night of Tragedy.
I wondered why.
And I found out it's possible if you're actually someone else...
pretending to be Oh Jung Hwan.
Not only did you surround your place with armed men,
but you even came here all alone...
presumably because you had a lot to hide.
And what did our chief secretary have to hide?
Or should I call you...
Mr. President?
What are you doing? Go get him!
How dare you...
Take out my medicine for me.
- What medicine? - It's a sedative.
It's in my inner pocket.
Just try to hang in there.
What are you doing?
I found the formula.
What?
Take a look at this.
Where did you get this?
I made a deal with Do Jung Woo.
You made a deal?
If the formula is real,
it doesn't matter if he finds out where our lab is located.
I never expected you to do this.
So you gave the shot to Son Min Ho?
What are you doing?
We injected you with the drug we had been so desperate to make.
If this succeeds, you will be able to live forever.
You tested the drug on me?
Let me free right now. Let me out of here.
- Let me... - How much did you inject?
- 5mm. - Give him 3mm more.
Gong Il Do.
Gong Il Do, you punk!
Did you forget how much I helped you? You ungrateful punk!
No, don't. Don't do it.
No, please. Don't do it, Il Do. Il Do, please.
Il Do. Il Do.
I guess the formula was fake.
No.
I'm pretty sure it's real.
Hey, wait.
Isn't that Oh Jung Hwan, the chief secretary?
Yes, but he's also Ji Hyung Geun, the former president.
I see.
- You should wait outside. - Oh, okay.
Okay, I'll leave.
(White Night Foundation)
So this must be the entrance card.
What's this medicine?
Is it the sedative you talked about earlier?
If you say anything unnecessary, you'll never be immortal.
Instead, you might just die now.
(Dr. Gong Il Do)
Son Min Ho died.
What? Does that mean the formula is fake?
No, the formula is real.
It just means we need my son's serum.
Mr. President.
Okay, Dr. Cho.
I'm in the middle of something, so I'll have to call you back.
What's the matter?
I think Mr. President is in trouble.
They said they need my serum.
I need to know where the secret lab is...
in order to deliver it to them.
So just tell me where it is.
Okay, fine.
My medicine.
Give me my medicine.
- This? - Yes.
Is it something important?
I saw you taking this before.
It didn't look like a sedative.
What is it?
The side effects...
I guess it minimizes the side effects.
The formula wasn't perfect, so there must've been side effects.
- How often must you take this? - Every six hours.
That's a short span.
- What happens if you don't take it? - Then I'll age and die.
You killed all those kids just to make this medicine?
So you could live an immortal life?
Excuse me. I'm claustrophobic.
I may hyperventilate. Please at least open the window.
How do you feel?
I feel a lot better.
The drug reduces the side effect of the study,
so it should be okay.
Hey. You're up.
Who...
That's right. Say hi. He's also from White Night Village.
I'm number 157.
I'm number 99.
I'm number 113.
Mom.
That's right. It's Mom.
My daughter is all grown up.
How do you look...
exactly the same?
I'm sure I look exactly like I do...
in your memories.
What are you doing?
You killed all those people in White Night Village.
Why can't you give up on that dream?
You must have been very curious.
Dreams are meant to come true.
Six hours just flew by.
It's time for your meds.
(Dr. Gong Il Do)
- Son. - How's Dr. Leighton?
Do you think I would've hurt my own daughter?
Son? Daughter? Now?
Drop the garbage.
You should be polite to your mom.
Stop babbling, and send Dr. Leighton back.
- If you don't... - If I don't?
What?
Mr. President won't be safe.
I'm sure...
he knows what we need right now.
Hear that?
I think it's time to get to the lab.
What if we run the test using Jamie's serum?
They're twins.
They're fraternal twins. It's useless.
It has to be Jung Woo's.
I think...
he created the formula using his blood as the basis.
He made sure the experiment failed...
if it wasn't done with his serum.
Jung Woo is a part of the formula.
This is it.
(Palbang Employment Agency)
I'm back.
Hey.
Wait. You're... You're him.
Hello.
- Long time. - Yes, sir.
You have a guest?
- What? - Him.
The third child.
It's okay. He's not him anymore.
Where's Captain?
Captain.
Long time no see. It's good to see you.
Okay. At ease.
It feels awkward.
They wouldn't harm Dr. Leighton, would they?
She's still her daughter.
She's no mom.
But they can't do anything to her until they get my serum.
What will you do now?
I have to get to the secret lab.
But even if Oh Jung Hwan is Ji Hyung Geun,
isn't this kidnapping and false imprisonment?
Hey.
In times like these, I realize how smart you are.
How did you know? You're right. It's a crime.
So the cops should bow out.
What? But...
What do you mean?
They'll stop at nothing to obtain their goal.
It's too dangerous.
If you help me, a fugitive,
you may end up losing your badge.
- So... - Don't give me that.
We'll join you, sir.
We must save Dr. Leighton. She's part of the Special Team too.
Yes, Captain. Let's do this together.
I won't let you look cool all by yourself.
Did I look cool?
It's ready.
Is this right?
What if it goes wrong?
If it goes wrong...
I don't know my birthday, but I'll know the day I die.
Hey. Don't talk like that.
Let's do it together.
You too? There's no need.
This involves me too.
And me.
And us.
He said we'd cover a story the studio couldn't dream of.
When are we going to do it?
We're not making any progress.
What was that?
I said I want an Iced Americano.
- Who is it? - You have a package.
Do you think it's another forewarned murder?
Give me that.
What is this?
(I think this is your forte.)
(21gil 1-8 Wonsa-ro, Seowon, Gyeonggi Province)
Do Jung Woo.
Is this the right place?
Dr. Leighton is being held hostage at that secret lab?
- Yes. - Captain Do went to the lab...
with the rest of the team.
Darn it! Why don't you guys report to me beforehand?
Please...
What should we do?
We need to do what we need to do.
Right?
Let's go.
Grab your weapons and get ready to leave.
And have the SWAT Team ready.
Listen to me carefully. We're the police force.
Let's teach them what justice is.
- Get moving. - Yes, sir.
(Serious Crime Team 1)
Hye Won, what are you doing here?
Dad.
My son, you did great.
You found your way here.
Is this the secret lab?
Where's Dr. Leighton?
I'm hoping this motivates you to give us your serum.
Is this really necessary?
Everything will get solved once you give us your blood.
- What about the kids? - I just need to make the drug.
That's all I care about.
Don't worry about me.
The police commissioner and even the mayor of Seoul?
They're all members of White Night Foundation?
They're all powerful leaders of our country.
I didn't know it'd be this bad.
(21gil 1-8 Wonsa-ro, Seowon, Gyeonggi Province)
"Wonsa-ro, Seowon".
- Where are you going? - Get ready to do a show.
I'll call you later.
Gosh, what's going on?
It's an exclusive!
How long will it take for the medicine to be ready?
We just need to extract the serum from his blood...
and wait for that to react with the ready-made ingredients.
So it won't take that long.
I've waited 38 years for this.
We don't have time, so hurry.
Yes, you really should hurry.
Mr. President doesn't have a lot of drugs left.
- Where are my drugs? - Your drugs?
Oh, well... Gosh, where did I...
I left them in my car.
You crazy punk.
No, wait. Don't. Just hold your anger.
Once we enter the secret lab,
stick this into one of the computers.
Then these two guys will take care of the rest.
(Server connecting)
We're in.
(Deciphering code)
I'm sure you've noticed, but there has to be more than one secret lab.
They've been experimenting for dozens of years,
so there's no way they have everything gathered in one place.
- Could they be using a network? - Yes, that's right.
It's highly likely that they're sharing things through a network.
In order to delete all those files,
we need to hack into their server and get rid of the entire network.
It's what I can do best.
Me too.
I'll help him out.
Once you delete the data,
set a timer.
It'll be controlled from outside, so we won't be able to stop it.
And that will leave us with only five minutes.
We must get out of there in five minutes.
I'm sorry.
I forgot to bring them with me.
(Police)
(SWAT)
(Police)
Is this it?
Yes, this is the place that the chief secretary mentioned.
Hey! This is supposed to be a restricted area!
Who is this punk?
You can't expect me to stay out of this.
You just wait. You'll see that I come in handy sometimes.
That darn punk.
How did he find out about this place?
Did you tell him?
No, ma'am.
Let's wait here until we find out what's going on.
I'm done.
Okay.
Now we just need to delete the data.
We're done.
Finally. It's what we've been desperately waiting for.
Hurry. We have no time.
Are you sure that works?
What?
Do you really think that will make you become immortal?
I'm asking because I'm also quite curious myself.
That drug you created with my formula and serum...
could be a drug that gives people immortality.
But it could also kill people.
And I'm just not sure which one it will do.
The formula I saw wearing those glasses...
was exactly the same one as the one drawn on the sports field...
at White Night Village.
Yes, I remember that formula. I made came up with it.
But what's the point when you don't even know if it works or not?
I haven't aged for the past 30 years,
which means I am...
the evidence.
It's just a matter of time. We humans can't help but age...
because that's the law of nature.
Hasn't that ever crossed your mind?
Cut the nonsense.
Gosh, okay.
I mean, I'm just saying because Son Min Ho died.
What's going on?
Was there even a formula to begin with?
That wasn't Do Jung Woo's serum.
Bring me the other serums.
I'll show you the difference myself.
From what I know, it's almost time to take your medicine.
Are you not in a hurry?
Actually, you already have a drug ready.
Why don't you try it out?
You'll be able to live forever.
Trust me, sir.
No! I can't trust you.
I can't be your test subject.
My medicine. I need to take my medicine.
Mr. President. Sir...
It's Oh Jung Hwan.
Oh Jung Hwan! Don't move!
Get out of the car! Oh Jung Hwan!
Where is it? Where did he put it?
He's acting a little weird.
Do Jung Woo...
Darn it!
Sir.
What is this?
What is that?
My gosh, what the...
We deleted everything.
It's finally time to end this tragedy.
Set the timer for the bomb.
Okay, everyone. Calm down.
Let's all witness...
this miraculous moment...
together.
Don't do it.
Don't do it!
Don't do it.
Don't.
Did you never once regret...
having done what you did?
"Regret"?
Why...
would I regret anything?
What I did was all for the sake of my experiment.
Even if you had to sacrifice your own son and daughter...
for the experiment?
That's right.
I still don't regret it.
I still remember...
the look I saw on your face as soon as I was born.
At first, you seemed worried.
But the moment we locked eyes, you seemed thrilled.
Because that's when I knew you were special.
Normally, newborn babies...
aren't able to look at their mothers directly in the eyes.
You weren't happy to see a newborn baby.
You were just satisfied with your perfect test subject.
That's why you were born.
My...
monster.
"Monster".
No.
So I'm a monster.
You're a monster. That's what you are.
You're a monster!
It would've been better...
if I were never born.
Superintendent Do.
You're having high blood pressure...
due to the side effects of the experiment.
No.
Captain Do!
Don't come near me.
My son.
I didn't know you had feelings.
I'm sure it was hard for a monster like you...
to understand the feelings of humans.
I'm very proud of you.
No! No!
No! Don't come near me!
Get out of here right now.
Please.
Please! Get out of here!
Do Jung Woo, that punk.
I kept saying I wanted out, but he kept resisting.
Okay, then.
So everyone who was involved with White Night Village...
is gathered here, right?
I told Jung Woo that we can't leave any evidence...
that we're alive,
but he just would not listen.
We can...
just kill everyone.
Monster.
It's the monster.
That monster.
Dissociative identity disorder.
The third child and I weren't the only ones with it.
Captain!
Shoot him!
I'm standing on an empty road all by myself.
The sun is shining brightly.
No.
If Jung Woo comes back out, it'll be a pain for me.
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?
No, Captain. Please.
Jung Woo.
Jung Woo!
No.
Don't do it.
I'm begging you.
Please stop.
I'm begging you.
Hye Won. Why...
Get out!
What's going on? No!
Hye Won. Are you okay?
Get out of here.
Get up. Find your father. Find him first.
The kids. The kids!
Dad. Dad. Wake up.
We have to get out of here.
Why aren't they coming out?
Come on. We have to get out of here.
Ji Hee.
I hope you'll stop suffering and will be happy now.
No.
Jung Woo.
Go with me.
Jung Woo.
Captain.
- What are you doing? - Jung Woo.
Captain, what are you doing? Captain!
- Jung Woo. - Captain!
Please.
We have to go now.
Captain! No! Captain!
Captain!
- They're coming! - The kids!
- Take them! - Hurry!
Hurry!
Hye Won. Where's Jung Woo?
- Where's Jung Woo? - Where's Captain?
Where's Captain?
Why isn't he coming out?
Come out. What are you doing? Come out!
Come out! Come out!
It isn't too late.
Let's complete this experiment.
Son.
This is your last chance to escape.
Your last chance to repent to the world.
Mother.
As...
a scientist...
I must see this experiment through.
It's my duty.
Fine.
You and I started this tragedy.
The two of us must disappear for this sad story to end.
Jung Woo.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
How do you feel?
If you admit your crimes, the court will go easier on you.
Confess and pay for your sins.
Hye Won.
I did nothing wrong.
How is it in there? Is it okay?
It's fine. They feed us regularly.
Although I miss cup noodles.
If you had admitted mental incapacity,
you would've been sent to a hospital.
- I know. - Then why...
did you do that?
Because I committed those crimes.
I'm returning to the States.
Then...
I guess this is goodbye.
I'm going to come back.
I'll visit again then.
Please explain what happened!
- Please give us a statement! - How do you feel?
Please tell us your side of the story.
Tell us what happened.
Do you admit your crimes?
Is what they say true? Please give us a statement.
Lieutenant Gong.
Good work. When do you plan to return to duty?
I resigned.
Don't be stupid.
(Letter of Resignation)
Do you know how much it costs to train a decent cop?
Here.
Feel better and come back.
The cold weather...
is making me miss him.
What are you doing here?
What? Did you think I'd let you go without as much as a goodbye?
It's not like I did anything. It's embarrassing.
You've been through a lot.
Not really.
I got my memory back.
A lot happened in that short time.
Did they find my brother?
No.
Captain and Cho Hyun Hee disappeared without a trace.
I'm sure.
Get back safely.
Please let me know if you come back to Korea.
You too. Make sure to contact me if you need help...
with anything.
Take care.
Sir.
Hey. What's up?
How have you been?
I've been okay...
but it feels empty since there's nothing going on.
What's with the ambulance? Is it yours?
Yes. I got it in case I collapse somewhere.
- I bought it used. - Who would drive you?
Who knows?
That punk would've been perfect if he were around.
Anyway, I need to go somewhere.
I only stopped by on my way somewhere myself.
Really? I'll give you a ride. Hop in.
You knew Captain would do this, didn't you?
How would I know what he'd do?
He's completely unpredictable.
That's true.
But do you think he's really dead?
I know it was a big explosion,
but there wasn't a trace of him.
I'm sure he's in a good place.
(Korea Expressway Corporation Toll Receipt: Yeosu)
What is she doing?
Gong. What are you doing?
It's the surveillance video of the road to the secret lab.
Why?
- Found it. - What? What is it?
(Korea Expressway Corporation Toll Receipt: Yeosu)
(31T1389)
Where are you going? Gong!
Why did you call me out? I'm a busy man.
I wanted to give you a scoop.
A scoop?
Winning Journalist of the Year is more than enough for me.
Then forget it.
Hold on. Let me hear it at least.
The day the secret lab blew up,
an ambulance was caught on camera...
rushing away from the scene.
But that ambulance belongs to Mr. Jung Soon Koo.
I saw a toll gate receipt in that ambulance.
He had passed through the toll gate in Yeosu that very night.
Do Jung Woo.
Are you really alive?
(Yeosu)
(3 months later)
It's nice because it's cordless.
- What are you doing here? - Did you have breakfast?
I brought some food.
Eat before you go.
It's my first day since my promotion.
I can't be late.
See you later.
(Police Agency, Report Illegal Weapons)
Captain Gong!
I heard about your promotion. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Your hair looks different.
Is it to go with your promotion?
- Does it look weird? - No. You look...
like a captain.
Anyway, did you find out anything?
The ambulance did pass through the toll gate.
I saw the video myself.
I confirmed that it boarded a ferry to an island.
Did you see Captain?
Jung Soon Koo was the only one that got out of the ambulance.
But there was someone on the island who witnessed him.
He's their village foreman.
He said some man came to his house one night.
He asked him to find him a house to live in,
and that the price didn't matter.
This man.
There happened to be an empty house, so he introduced him to the owner.
That man was carrying an invalid woman on his back,
and that she was all wrapped up.
He asked how that happened to his young wife,
and he said she wasn't his wife.
So he asked who the woman was on his back...
He said she was his mom.
My gosh. I don't know why he made such a terrible joke.
Then once, I stopped by their house because I was passing by.
The man wasn't there. The woman was lying there by herself.
So I turned to leave,
and she called out to me.
So I asked if she needed anything, and...
What did she say?
She asked if I had any pesticides.
Then she said with this grim look on her face,
"Please kill me."
I climbed down the mountain immediately.
Do you think it's Do Jung Woo?
If it is, why did he do that?
Maybe he thought suffering in pain and living forever...
was the proper punishment for her rather than dying.
Since she's still his mom,
he probably thought taking care of her...
for the rest of his life was the price he must pay.
Because that's how he is.
- It's done. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Why did you call us here just to get the car windows tinted?
They aren't just tinted.
- They're bulletproof. - They're bulletproof?
We can't buy guns in Korea.
Why do we need bulletproof windows?
- Rookie. Attention. - Yes, sir.
- Am I right? - Yes, you're right.
He's right? About what?
Sorry?
Rookie.
You know that a detective needs good observation skills.
Yes, sir.
Fine. Let me test your observation skills.
Just play along.
I'll shuffle these cards randomly.
Let's see how quickly you find a certain card.
We have a case. 433 Jangi-dong.
Hey. Freeze.
This really doesn't break.
- It really is bulletproof. - Exactly.
The car is bulletproof, but the people...
- What is he doing? - What...
Don't just watch. Go after him!
Run!
Hey, you! Stop!
Stop right there!
- Hey! - Get over here. I'm in a bad mood.
Put the knife down.
Put it down!
Mommy!
- Darn it. - Put it down.
Put it down, you jerk!
Stay back!
- Oh no. - I'm going to kill her.
- Darn it! - Oh my gosh.
No... Please help me...
Are you all right?
- Lieutenant Jang. - Yes?
Didn't that seem oddly familiar?
Right?
- Stay still, you jerk. - Let me go!
Gong! Let's go!
(Awaken)
