(The pride of Seyang High, Jung Yi Hyun)
(Bad knee! Totally ruined)
- Hurry up! - Get it done quick!
Give me that.
Jung Yi Hyun!
I played baseball as a kid too, and I know how you feel!
Come down here so we can talk!
Talk from down there.
- What's he saying? - What was that?
Give him a megaphone too, then.
I'll come up there. Give me a moment.
Let's talk up there.
Where's the staircase?
He just won't come down.
Focus on your book.
If you're focused, you can't even hear...
a bomb go off next to you.
Class is over, so why are you still here?
It's not like you make us want to study.
If you all were to rush out, would Yi Hyun appreciate it?
He's already stressed out and upset.
If he were to see you and suddenly decides to jump,
you would really want to study then, wouldn't you?
Can we leave if he comes down?
Yes. You can go straight home.
The police are negotiating with him.
Don't irritate me and go back to sleep.
You've been here longer than most.
It must be stressful for you too.
I need to go to the toilet.
I told you not to irritate...
Well, as long as you're quiet.
Focus, everyone. Focus.
Concentrate and ignore the bomb.
My gosh.
Hey, kid. I promise to make sure you make a full recovery.
If not, I'll make you a cop.
Trust me and come down from there.
I don't want to be a cop.
Okay, wait!
I'm a friend and was told to come over and help negotiate.
I will talk from here. I won't go up to you.
Try to relax.
Yoon Sae Bom?
Hey, you!
Hey!
Hey! You there! Don't you go...
Who are you? Are you his girlfriend?
No. Hey, I can't go home because of you.
I'll talk to him, Mister. You stay right there.
What's wrong with the students here?
(Seyang High School)
Are you upset you can't play baseball?
It's not that.
I came up for some air,
and suddenly police cars and an ambulance rushed in.
What idiot called them?
I'm just watching to see how far they'll go.
I have nothing better to do.
Is baseball the only thing you can do?
Yes. It's all I've ever done.
And I was pretty good at it, too.
Would you be okay if this happened to you?
I've never done anything my whole life and I was okay.
It's easier if you've never done anything.
I was in a hospital for a long time,
and once it's over, it becomes a fond memory.
I can never play baseball again.
My future, my life is ruined.
I don't know what to do...
What about you, then? What will you do?
Until last week, I wanted to be a nurse.
Now I might be a civil servant.
I need a stable income to live independently,
but I keep changing my mind.
See? You can't decide yourself,
just because you're two years behind.
No.
I'm saying our future comes with so many options.
It's fine. Just take the plunge.
You have nothing to lose.
My gosh.
Like me.
What?
Help him out!
Help him.
Help him!
- Are you okay? - Be careful.
It's not like that.
I purposely pushed him...
so that he would land on the cushion.
Let's talk over there.
Hey!
Jung Yi Hyun.
Tell that man that you don't want me to get punished.
They're going to arrest me.
Hey, Yoon Sae Bom.
Do you want to be my girlfriend?
(Happiness)
(12 years later)
(SOU)
SOU!
What are you doing? Treat him!
Where did he get hurt?
He got shot in the chest,
and he can't breathe.
He has a pneumothorax.
Air is leaking from the gunshot wound and putting pressure on the...
Don't give me a diagnosis. Treat him!
Should I really do it?
Don't think and do as you were taught.
Sir!
You're going to break my ribs, you punk.
Sir.
This is the clavicle, you idiot.
Recruit Lee Jong Tae.
You just killed a team member.
You lose points in your TMP training.
(Training for tactical emergency medical care)
(TMP Training)
Gosh, your acting was good today.
- Was it? - Yes.
Put your gloves on.
That way you won't slip.
Keep up the good work.
Are you really going to deduct points?
Yes. He's slow to make a decision, and he scares easily.
If you look at everyone from your standard,
the entire world is slow, Sae Bom.
(SOU, Recruit Yoon Sae Bom)
SOU!
Okay.
He got a gunshot wound and can't breathe.
What should we do in times like this?
What the...
What is she doing?
Hey, you!
Yoon Sae Bom!
What are you doing?
They made this because of you.
Because you stabbed him in the chest without thinking.
Then Captain Choi got transferred to a patrol station.
He called recently and said he found his calling at the patrol station.
Really?
He even sent me a gift certificate.
What about me?
Why didn't he send me one?
I'm sure there's a reason why he didn't send you one.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
Let's go eat.
(Intestines, Pharmacy, Karaoke)
This is the front desk.
Yes, I hear it too.
On the second floor?
Yes, I'll tell them.
What are they doing first thing in the morning?
Sir.
If you break any motel property, you must reimburse us.
Sir, do you want to get beaten up?
It's harder to endure the warmer days,
but isn't it nice to be able to breathe in fresh air...
without wearing a mask?
The world is a bit different from how it was before COVID-19,
but thanks to that we learned how precious an ordinary day can be.
Dear listeners.
Smile when you see people's faces without masks on...
and take in a deep breath as you look up at the blue skies.
I hope your afternoon is filled with happiness.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day,
and I'll see you tomorrow at this...
(You never know when another infectious disease might appear.)
(Jung Yi Hyun)
Here.
How can you still play baseball when your knee is like that?
If I play as a proxy, they give me money.
- What's the case? - A murder.
You didn't know what kind of case we were investigating?
I came because you told me to come.
I gave up my day off and a game to come here.
- You should be grateful. - Goodness, I am.
So I looked...
The people next door called it in.
- I heard screaming, so I came out. - Excuse me.
- Who died? - The employee at the counter.
Let's go.
- You just need to testify properly. - What is going on?
What do you think he did to his neck?
I'm not sure.
It looks like he was cut with a dull knife.
Was he trying to kill him painfully?
What about the suspect?
The person who stayed in this room.
There were a lot of complaints about how he was noisy.
Who covered him like this?
Did you guys touch the scene?
No, sir. We left it as is!
- Any witnesses? - We haven't found any.
It was like this when they got here.
Did they check the CCTV footage?
Oh, the CCTV...
Darn it.
What about the CCTV footage?
They're looking at it right now.
They can't find the suspect leaving.
They covered the deceased's face and ran away,
but there's no footage of him leaving the place?
He must've signed in electronically before his stay.
CDCH would never show us that.
It's a breach of the Personal Information Protection Act.
Murders don't get to have human rights!
We should integrate all of their information and catch them.
I don't understand.
Not you.
Right.
Nobody looked in here, right?
(Jung Yi Hyun)
Hey, I know that you don't follow protocol...
and just want to get lucky when you investigate, but...
When it comes to following protocol, I'm not that bad.
I know someone who's even worse than...
Sir.
Come on out.
Are you kidding me?
If you're pulling my leg again, you're dead meat today.
Come on!
Damn it. I looked into his eyes.
Gosh. We got the culprit. Don't come in.
You can come in later.
(ID card, Sung Woo Je)
Did you do this, Mr. Sung?
I don't know.
Did you put a blanket over him...
because you were scared to look at him?
Then why did you kill him?
You don't remember that either?
I had something like a dream.
Did you kill him in that dream?
You couldn't run away seeing how you're covered in blood.
Your mind was scattered, but the cops started flooding in.
That's why you probably hid.
Where's the murder weapon?
How did you kill him in your dream?
Right. Wait.
Without the murder weapon, the court can't find you guilty.
Well,
I was very thirsty for some reason.
Did you bite him?
Give me one more.
(Limited to one piece per person for main dishes)
Do you work as a handyman or something?
Why are you eating so much rice?
I'm kind of hurt, so don't talk to me.
Here.
Talk to me if you need to.
(Public Rental Unit Notice for Police at Le Ciel Apartment)
- What are you reading so intently? - The new location...
where the Police Agency building moved to...
is getting developed now.
Aren't they building apartments there?
They decided to give out three special units...
for people in the police force.
Really? What are the conditions?
My wife's dream is to get a unit in a newly built apartment.
They score every applicant based on seniority,
the size of the family, marital status, and so on.
But the number of arrests and evaluations matter the most.
Gosh. If I get picked for that, I'll win the unit for sure.
That would be hitting the jackpot.
Who could we arrest? What? Terrorists?
You never know.
Who knows? What if I were to prove to them today?
Prove what?
I'm thinking.
Go easy at your game. Don't get injured again.
Okay.
(I'm His Lifesaver)
Sae Bom, did you pick up on a new religion?
He's a friend.
I'm his lifesaver.
What?
Your names came up during an investigation.
Why?
You're training new recruits. Right?
He bought some drugs from a new recruit for SOU.
I was told this drug was 100 percent legal.
Your dealer just thought you would never get caught.
Do you have any leftover?
I got about 3 to 4 pills.
But I took all of them.
What's the name of the new recruit?
Lee Jong Tae.
Lee Jong Tae?
SOU!
(Recruit Lee Jong Tae)
You'll be getting a notice soon. Anyway, it's just a heads-up.
Good job.
If I were to uncover the organization behind it,
that would be my arrest. Right?
What are you talking about now?
I just wanted you to know.
Gosh.
I'll be back very quickly.
So watch my food.
It's important than your food?
Gosh. That's not like her.
Don't worry. I warned everyone...
that they would be dead meat if they eat your pork cutlet.
What are they doing?
No way. Are they doing it here?
Those punks.
Recruit Lee Jong Tae.
Recruit Lee Jong Tae!
Help me!
What's wrong with him?
Lee Jong Tae, stop right there.
Seung Young, get him out of here.
I'm going after your pelvis next.
What's wrong with him?
Who knows?
I'll stay here. You should take him and get him treated.
Hold on.
An officer down! Is anyone out here?
It's not a drill, guys!
Officer.
Call an ambulance, please.
Officer.
Officer...
Officer.
Bring me the medicine cart.
Be careful not to get bitten.
(I'm His Lifesaver)
- Yes? - You should've told me
this was dangerous! I almost died!
What are you talking about? Why would you die?
How could he not feel any pain even after getting shot?
Who shot whom? Hey, are you all right?
Of course, I'm all right.
But how did you catch him without a gun?
I just convinced him. I talked to him.
How is that possible? Could he be reasoned with?
Hey, tell me exactly what happened.
Did you see Lee Jong Tae?
Yes.
Did he try to bite you?
So you know.
Gosh. What on earth is happening...
Hello?
Hey, Sae Bom.
Are you all right?
Hey, answer me.
Yes.
Why won't you answer? You're scaring me.
Corporal Yoon?
This is the women's toilet.
The man you shot.
He could have an infectious disease.
What infectious disease?
We're looking into that.
Sae Bom, who are you talking to?
(I'm His Lifesaver)
CDCH Crisis Management Center's...
Lieutenant Colonel Han Tae Seok.
Corporal Yoon will call you back.
Hand me your weapon...
and cooperate with the investigation.
Who are you people?
Have my pork cutlet.
Sae Bom.
The National Police Agency will issue instructions soon,
but officially, what just happened was an accident.
Remember to stay silent.
We're taking Corporal Yoon because she could be infected.
(I'm His Lifesaver)
- Yes? - Lieutenant Colonel Han?
No, don't hang up.
I'm Corporal Jung from Seyang Police Station.
Can you please tell me what's going on?
Corporal Yoon Sae Bom...
will be tested as she had contact with an infected recruit.
So she's okay right now?
She's an essential worker, so she got two doses of the vaccine.
What infection are you talking about?
We must find out.
- Goodbye. - It was Lee Jong Tae, wasn't it?
The infected recruit.
We arrested a murder suspect who was in contact with him.
Did you just say murder?
He bit a man's neck.
Is that related to the infection?
Seyang Police Station, right? I'll come over.
Just a moment.
Should those who were in contact be quarantined?
If they were bitten or scratched.
(The SOU serves to keep our nation safe)
(Seyang Police Station)
It's fine if you weren't bitten or scratched.
You're Han Tae Seok, right?
Where is Sae Bom?
She's being tested somewhere safe.
(3rd Wonjung University Anti-Redevelopment Protest)
(Wonjung University Engineering Building)
(Stop)
(Central Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters)
(Han Tae Seok)
You're a soldier but you work in the private sector.
During disasters,
civilians, the army, and the government must cooperate.
You mean to say...
the infectious disease makes people bite others?
We believe it's a variant virus that affects the brain.
When bitten, you die of blood loss...
or you're infected.
My gosh.
Airborne droplets weren't enough, and now they bite to infect?
The infection route's limited, so don't worry.
You can get back to your duties.
Just a moment.
We don't have to be quarantined, do we?
Just sign a secrecy declaration.
The suspect said he took a pill.
He said he got it from your recruit.
Do you have...
that pill?
No.
Could it be...
a hallucinatory side effect instead?
That's impossible,
but it could've had an effect.
Call me if you find the pills.
Corporal Jung Yi Hyun?
Are you playing baseball again?
I had high hopes for you in high school.
I can't...
run at full speed anymore.
Too bad.
He must really love baseball if he knows you too.
Did you request a drug panel?
Yes, I handed over his hair sample.
I'll give you a number.
Can you ping the location for me?
Where are you going?
To find the pills.
Jung Guk.
I found it.
I called so you don't waste your time.
I just got the results back.
He's clean.
Are you sure?
Yes. I guess he was infected.
I'm not sure if I should go home tonight.
If I bare my teeth to my wife,
- But... - she'll kick them all out.
Then what did I just find?
A cold remedy, painkiller, multivitamin.
It could be anything.
Quit fooling around and go home and go to bed.
(To be continued)
(Super Rookie Baseball Academy)
Hey, Il Ho.
[VIU Ver] tvN E01 'Happiness' "Public Rental Apartment" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
Why didn't you play today?
Come with me.
Either call or take your calls.
I got told off from both sides.
Will you let it go?
Forget about that.
Take a look at this.
What's that?
It's a kind of drug. Do you recognize it?
Why give me a drug?
Don't get me wrong. Hear me out first.
You got kicked out because of drugs.
I thought it was an herbal tonic. It was a mistake...
My gosh. How can you call yourself a friend?
Stop lying. It was so you could play baseball better.
I know how that feels.
Stop bringing that up. It was a long time ago.
Yes, it was a long time ago.
You turned over a new leaf and studied hard.
You studied sport physiology and computers.
This is really important to me.
This isn't a narcotic.
How do you know?
Do you see the serial number?
Who would invest so much effort into making a narcotic?
Are they making a brand?
This was made at a pharmaceutical company.
You can find out what it is if you go through the drug database.
- Can you look into it? - Me? When do you need it by?
Right now.
Wake me up when you're done.
Open up.
Are you going to take my blood too?
What is this place?
It doesn't look like a hospital. Is it a school?
Someone who's been in contact with a disease
that makes you rip people's throats out...
should be away from people.
Will I end up like Recruit Lee Jong Tae?
I'm just kidding.
I'm not going to bite.
- You'll end up getting hurt. - Right,
so can you give me an answer?
I thought you were going to put some ointment on me.
What should I do until the results come in?
Testify.
Tell me about what happened today.
I saw Recruit Lee Jong Tae attack a colleague,
and I tried to stop him.
How did Lee Jong Tae look?
He didn't look well.
Can you be more specific?
Both his eyes were cloudy...
as though they had cataracts,
and he acted like a beast as he tried to bite me.
I shot him twice,
but it seemed like he didn't feel any pain.
Is this...
similar to rabies?
It is.
A detective friend of mine said he might've been on drugs.
When someone goes crazy and bites people,
the police will believe that it's because of drugs.
Interpreting it like that makes things easier.
And from your perspective, an infectious disease is better.
People will see things as they want to believe.
But...
Aren't you a police officer too?
We're counterterrorism experts.
We just get paid through the National Police Agency.
Will Recruit Lee Jong Tae...
be okay?
He's recuperating miraculously.
I'll prepare a place for you to rest until the test results come out.
Wait. Aren't you going to give me back my phone?
I'll bring a phone to your room.
(Unidentified Caller)
Hello?
This is all your fault!
Yoon Sae Bom? Are you okay?
Yes. It's cleaner than the civil servants apartments.
That place was built over 50 years ago.
The roof leaks when it rains, and the pipes freeze in the winter.
How can they put 3 people in 1 house because they're single?
Gosh, it's cold.
Will the electricity bill be okay?
How do you feel? Did you get tested?
Yes. Everything but an endoscopy.
Goodness. I got my health check for the year.
They want me to stay here until the test results come out.
I talked to your mom.
You couldn't wait half a day?
Hey. No news is good news.
Don't worry.
I told her that you won't be reachable because of training.
Right. You're tactful enough.
I'm looking into what all this is about...
Where are you?
No idea. It looks like a school dormitory.
It's not like they're going to kill me.
I'm not feeling sick,
so I can just catch up on some rest while I wait for the test results.
The drug test results for our suspect came out,
and he's clean.
Really?
Is it really an infectious disease?
I think it's drugs.
You're definitely a police officer.
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
In any case, I'll...
catch the culprit so that you can get peace of mind.
So just get some rest there. Okay?
Okay. I'll be waiting.
It's late. Go to bed.

(Test Result: No virus found. No lacerations in affected area.)
(No abnormal symptoms. May have found the first antibody.)
(Not infected but requires continued observation.)

(Super Rookie Baseball Academy)
Hey, wake up. I found it.
What?
You found it? Let me see.
Next.
Next?
What is it?
Oral pneumonia medication.
They did a lot of anti-viral research during COVID-19.
This drug was made then.
It has a lot of side effects, so it was taken off the market quickly.
Side effects?
Addiction, hallucinations, mood swings...
Oh, and there's increase in concentration too.
So there's a good one too?
Why isn't it traceable in drug tests?
Not every drug that gets you high is an illegal narcotic.
The government has to distinguish it as an illegal narcotic.
Hey, Il Ho.
What if this drug...
made people act like they had rabies?
It would be chaotic. This was widely distributed.
But it's not possible.
Why not?
Nothing had happened all this time. Why would it be a problem now?
(Kind and trustworthy Seyang Police are here to serve)
Did you track the number I gave you?
Hold on.
It's at a university.
Is this a student?
Hey, isn't that a low-tier college?
I guess your friend didn't study a lot.
- Thanks. - Hey.
Was I too harsh?
No one is here to wake me up.
And I don't have to go to work. This is nice.
I'm so cold.
Ms. Yoon Sae Bom, you can come out.
Gosh. When did you come in?
Did you get the test result?
We have to run the test again.
Ma'am.
Give me a heads-up before you take a piece of my skin today.
You're going to hurt my feelings.
Are there other patients too?
Lee Jong Tae?
I just want to talk to him for a bit.
You can't.
Ms. Yoon.
It will only take a moment.
Are you all right?
I'm a bit cold.
But I'm okay.
Do you remember how I shot you?
Yes.
And how you bit your colleague and came after me?
I don't know.
You do remember it.
Ms. Yoon. Step back.
He could be dangerous.
I'm all right.
He seems fine now.
Did you go crazy after taking drugs?
Where did you get the drugs?
I don't follow you.
Your friend you gave drugs to already got arrested.
You know that you'll get a heavier sentence since you're a cop. Right?
Do you see that?
You scratched me.
People here tell me that there's an infectious disease,
but I'm not sure about that.
I need to know...
if this happened...
because of the infectious disease...
or the drugs, Jong Tae.
That way, I'll be relaxed when I take the test.
Can I have some water?
Never!
I'm so thirsty.
She said no.
I'm thirsty.
Hey. What are you doing?
Open your eyes. I'm not done talking to you.
Hey.
Lee Jong Tae.
Get away from me.
Get away...
Lieutenant Colonel Han.
You're watching, right?
You will be near the destination shortly.
(We Are Against Redevelopment Without a Plan)
You have arrived at the destination.
The GPS guidance is complete.
What's the purpose of your visit?
Isn't this Wonjung University?
It lost its accreditation for its poor-quality education.
Currently, the military is using the property.
I'm from the police.
Can I see your supervisor?
This is a secret military base. So that won't be possible.
Then...
can you tell Lieutenant Colonel Han Tae Seok...
that I brought the drug we talked about before?
Let him in.
You wanted me to see Lee Jong Tae, right?
You even installed a camera there.
I wanted to know when he would get thirsty.
Thirsty?
Once infected, people lose their sanity and start biting people off.
They start to feel this insatiable thirst.
And water won't do the job.
Even if they return to their normal self, they repeatedly feel...
thirsty and go crazy again.
And I'm trying to figure out when they get thirsty.
So I was curious...
how Lee Jong Tae would behave when he saw you.
You wanted to know how he would behave...
when he saw the person who shot him.
He recognizes his family.
I was wondering if he'd recognize you too.
That wasn't everything.
His heart beats slower.
And he seems to feel less pain.
His wounds heal faster.
As long as we can control it, it will be very helpful.
So you must be researching this in secret.
It's not as infectious as other diseases, but it will scare people.
People are already fatigued regarding infectious diseases.
There's no need to alarm the public.
Then why do you keep the air conditioner running?
Low temperature can delay the rate of spread.
Is this a test too?
To see if I'm thirsty or not?
You really tested negative.
I'm not that lucky usually.
Why don't you take a break?
Here?
Wherever you wish to be.
Do you mean that? That's possible?
Say you served your country...
and was hurt mentally and physically in the process.
We must draw your blood every two weeks.
You don't yet have symptoms.
It could be that you have antibodies.
(Temporary Pass, Important)
I guess I'm pretty important.
Do me one more thing.
You said I did well to serve my country.
Give me the highest evaluation for this year's work.
What?
Seyang's public rental apartment.
The police force gets three units.
They grade us with a point system.
The size of the family, marital status,
seniority, evaluations.
All that's added up.
You have that much influence, don't you?
I think I can do that.
You do have a pretty good record.
I'm the best.
I was born to fight terrorism.
I'm glad you're easy to talk to.
We don't shake hands anymore.
My phone.
Don't you even serve breakfast?
Thank you. I'll make it last when I get home.
Do you have a boyfriend?
It's not that I dislike you,
but the age gap is too big.
Even the best evaluation won't get you enough points.
You'll need more.
I'm asking if you plan to marry soon.
Plans? I can start making them.
Aren't you worried at all?
I will get an apartment.
You needn't worry about me.
I mean about what you saw yesterday and today.
If things go wrong,
the world we know could change.
What difference will worrying make?
The world might not change.
Ma'am.
Where are my clothes?
We burned them.
No...
Should I wear this to go home?
Sae Bom? Hey.
Are you all right? Let's see.
You still don't trust me.
That's so upsetting.
I'm fine. I can go home.
Sorry for getting you into this.
You look gaunt.
I do? I didn't get any breakfast.
How did you get in here?
Did they bring you in? Were you bitten?
No. I came to save you.
Wait here. I need to go in and have a chat.
Not bad.
You could play baseball again.
Is this...
that pill?
Yes. It's a failed pneumonia cure.
Way too many people have taken it so far.
It can't have caused the madness,
but I promised, so here it is.
Just because it was fine yesterday...
doesn't mean it'll be fine today.
Bye.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Yes. He was next to me all along.
Yi Hyun.
Are you seeing someone?
What a random question.
- Are you? - No.
Do you snore or grind your teeth?
I don't think so.
Shall we get married?
Jung Yi Hyun.
Tell that man that you don't want me to get punished.
They're going to arrest me.
Hey, Yoon Sae Bom.
Do you want to be my girlfriend?
No.
I told you that day that I was kidding.
I'm not kidding.
I mean it.
(Happiness)
If people suddenly start to go mad...
You asked me to look into Han Tae Seok.
