DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

KIM HAE-SUK, / FEMALE
DATE OF BIRTH: NOVEMBER ,

YOO GWON, / MALE
DATE OF BIRTH: APRIL ,

It's another failure.

None of them worked again?

At this rate, we'll never be able
to apply it to people.

Still nothing on the formula he erased?

We…

have to try harder.

We need to get more test subjects.

ADOPTED

COPYING FILES

She must have left the window open.

Gosh, Ms. Kim.

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you run off on your own?

Forget about that loser,
Moon Jae-ung, now.

You're…

You show up only when you need to k*ll…

I'll k*ll them all.

We don't need a fool
like Moon Jae-ung anymore.

Do you remember when you told me
that Jae-ung made a new friend?

Jamie Leighton. She was number
from White Night Village.

The girl we left the village with
after the tragedy.

What?

Don't go!

Don't leave me alone!

Don't go!

SERIAL k*ller DO JEONG-WOO,
WHEREABOUTS STILL UNKNOWN

And number , Do Jeong-woo.

Am I finally going to meet them?

Those selfish bastards
who left me all alone.

-Open it.
-Okay. I got it.

Here.

We should hurry.

Now, I'll personally go to those bastards

in Baegya Foundation.

And then…

I found it.

Found what?

The recognition device.

I thought the victims

from the Jangyi-dong therapist's office
would have a key or something in common.

Right here. It was a smartwatch.

No way.

There's no way we didn't know
they all had--

-There's none.
-What?

The smartwatches aren't
on the evidence list.

You didn't know
because they weren't on the list.

Someone might have been afraid of
leaving a clue with the smartwatches,

so he or she might've hacked
into the database and deleted them.

I doubt he or she took the watches,
so let's go to the evidence room.

Why isn't he picking up?

-Who?
-Hyeon-su, the drug dealer.

It's time for his pickup,
but he's not answering his phone.

Maybe he won the lottery.

Gosh, the things you say.

No, seriously. I gave him some money.

So he can stop dealing and study.

What?

No. It's nothing.

Then this jerk should come
and thank you in person.

How dare he just disappear?

There's no need. It's not mine.
It's Son Min-ho's money.

The dirty money he made.

Hey. When it comes to money,
finders keepers.

You gave him the money,
so he should thank you.

What are you doing?

Computer files from the director's office
at Seoul Hangang Welfare Center yesterday.

It looks like they're constantly moving
the kids somewhere,

but where could that be?

Maybe to the secret lab?

To continue the experiments,
they'll need the kids as test subjects.

You finally found it.

If we do a stakeout and follow the kids,
won't we be able to find the secret lab?

We wouldn't have come this far
if it were that easy.

There's no way that
Seoul Hangang Welfare Center

is the only center that's providing
the lab with kids.

BAEGYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Dad, what on earth happened?

It was nothing.

Maybe I worked too much.

-I felt dizzy, so I went to the hospital.
-Dad.

No. I'll talk to you later.

I'm a little tired.

EVIDENCE STORAGE

-I found it!
-What?

Nice job.

Nicely done. Great work.

Instead of stealing them,
he or she just put them together.

Good eyes.

Let's have a look.

What's this symbol?

I don't know either.

All of the watches have the same symbol.

Right here.
Except for Kim Yeong-jun's watch.

What is this for?

Does it symbolize
some kind of organization?

The foundation will not let it slide
if I tell you that.

Could it be the foundation Son mentioned?

That's possible.

They didn't want anyone
to find out about the foundation.

So they could have had
the watches removed from the list.

What are they scared of?

I think that's Director Lee Byeong-seon
of Seoul Hangang Hospital.

Yes.

-What event was he at?
-Hold on.

"Baegya Biotech."

It was their th anniversary event.

"Baegya Biotech."

Can you tell me about this company?

Gosh. This is strange.

Other than these pictures, most of
the information is blocked or hidden.

What are they researching and developing?
Why won't it share any information?

Usually, companies reveal their agendas,
mottos, and goals.

And if they do R&D,
things like theses and research intentions

are usually easy to find.

I don't know what kind of company this is.

From this photo,
the deceased director may have

something to do with the foundation
that Son Min-ho mentioned.

Gosh, who was this guy again?

-Who?
-This guy.

Who is it?

Oh, right.

He was at the party
the night Baek Seung-jae d*ed.

We questioned him as a witness.
He was a close friend of Baek Seung-jae.

And Gong and he talked about something.
Gosh, what was it again?

You don't know where the host is, do you?

There it is. Your host.

Why is he swimming? He just woke up.

He even hates drinking water.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

Zoom in on this part, please.

What? That's…

Isn't that the same watch?

What? You're right.

I thought it was merely a key
to enter the office in Jangyi-dong.

It might mean more than that.

We need to meet with this guy, Lee Tae-su.

Dr. Leighton, Mr. Hwang wants to see you.

Thank you for everything you've done.

MILLION WON

By contract, I am to work here
until the m*rder case is closed.

It's clearly stated in the contract.

Superintendent Do is still at large.

Superintendent Do…

The Korean police will catch Do Jeong-woo.

I've been instructed to exclude outsiders
from the investigation going forward.

I hope you understand.

There are a lot of inconveniences
when there are outsiders.

Especially when they're trying
to bury unsolved cases.

We'll take care of the rest
of the investigation.

Don't American people
stay out of other people's business?

Thank you for your hard work,
Dr. Leighton.

Once the case is closed,
you won't have to ask me to leave.

Hold this for me until then.

Now that I'm getting close
to finding out what really happened,

someone wants me gone.

I can't believe I get to enjoy the thrill
until the last moment I die.

Mr. Jang, how are you?

Hello, Mr. Lee. It's been a while.

How are you?

Right, Hye-won.

Didn't you say you had to
ask your dad something?

What? No.

You said something about his old research
and stopped talking.

Oh, that…

Aren't you worried about your job?

My team is about to get disbanded,
so we're on standby.

Think about what I said.

What is it?

Why won't you tell me?

No, I just thought

she didn't need to have
such a demanding job.

You can go back to school if you want.

If there's anything you want to do,
I can help you with it.

Even so. She should have a job.

Well, I'm not so thrilled that you're
a cop because it's too dangerous.

First of all,
having irregular shifts isn't good.

People should go to work after sunrise
and come back before sunset…

Oh, no. I'm so forgetful.

I just remembered that I had plans.

I have to go now. I'm sorry.

What's wrong with her?

What am I doing?

You know what?

I just can't understand.

How come you're always fine?

You don't even flinch.

I'm fine because I don't drink.

Where is that punk, Do Jeong-woo?
What is he up to now?

Didn't I tell you that I have two kids
who haven't even started college yet?

Damn it!

I've been making a good impression
on the right people.

And things were going so well for me.

Why is the Blue House involved now?

There must be something fishy
going on with them.

Why do they keep harassing me? Why?

It's all because of Do Jeong-woo.

It's because of that bastard!

It's better…

to be a complete bastard
than a moderate bastard.

What did you just say?

You would feel guilty if you decided
to be greedy and live selfishly.

But the world is too tough to live kindly.

That's why
it's hard being a moderate bastard.

I'll get going first.

Don't drink too much.

What are you doing? What is that?

Open it.

What are you trying to do?

Open it. And we'll talk.

That money.

-Where did you get it?
-I'm offering a deal.

You seem to have forgotten
the predicament you're in.

You're a wanted criminal.
But you have an offer for me?

Remember the serial bank robberies?
The one where the truck flipped over.

It's from that truck.

Are you the architect
of the serial robberies?

But there's some missing.

We still haven't caught the architect yet.

It's not easy robbing a bank
with petty thieves.

And the architect pulled it off times.

We got to the warehouse,
but the money was already gone.

What did he do with all that money?

It doesn't matter how you spend it.
No one can trace it back to the case.

So I'd like you to hold onto it.

It's Son Min-ho's dirty money,
so don't feel bad.

You like money, don't you?

Aren't you the type
that only looks out for yourself?

-You're--
-A complete bastard.

But why me?

Why not go to Mr. Hwang
who cares about you?

Nice to meet you.

Have a drink.

Sir, you want me to pull out the officers?

All units,
report to the first floor immediately.

A bastard.

I have to be a complete bastard.

Why are you in the middle, you bastard?

There are reports about missing children
from these welfare centers.

The welfare centers?

Are you running a charity now
or something?

You don't need to know the details,
but it's related to White Night Village.

All you have to do is
put a few police officers there

and keep an eye on what's going on
at the welfare centers.

I'll pay you handsomely again
once it's over.

Why do you want cops at the centers?

They might not take the kids
because of the cops.

-Yes. Probably.
-What?

A dozen centers have ties
to Hangang Hospital.

We don't know when
and from where they'll take the kids.

That's why we should get
those cops to watch the centers.

Exactly. What do you mean by that?

Except for one center.

From now on, they can only take
the kids from the center I chose.

-Which one?
-Seoul Hangang Welfare Center.

Mr. Jang.

Long time no see. I missed you.

Yes. The doctor is finally here.

-Mr. Lee, be careful.
-What?

-Have you been well?
-Yes.

Are you feeling better now?

I totally approve. I approve.

That lucid dream or whatever.
It really felt so real.

My mom likes it
since I'm staying out of trouble.

And…

this isn't narcotic. It's just hormones.

So I won't get caught
even if I get tested!

I'm glad you like it.

But I've got to say
that it doesn't satisfy me completely.

I always wake up
when I'm so close to reaching the climax.

I don't care for therapy
or whatever you have for me.

I need something
a little more stimulating.

How much does this building cost?

His dad is Director Lee Byeong-seon
of Hangang Hospital. He must be rich.

He owns a building
and has his own company.

He's the CEO of an investment consulting
firm, but I don't know what he does.

He probably set this up because
otherwise, he'd be unemployed.

We'll know what that watch means
when we meet Lee Tae-su.

Baek Seung-jae was wearing
that same watch when he d*ed.

So you need something more exciting?

Yes. That's right.

Back when Baek Seung-jae was alive,

we did a lot of crazy things together
and had a lot of fun.

But nothing seems fun ever since he d*ed.

There's no joy in this life.

I guess even lucid dreaming
isn't fun anymore.

No, lucid dreams are nice,
but I need something stronger.

Can't it feel a bit more real?

That way, I'll never want to wake up
from this dream.

Take this.

This one has a different color.

You said you never want
to wake up from a dream.

This pill will help your dream feel

much more real than the pills
you've been taking.

It won't even feel like you're dreaming

because it won't be a dream, but reality.

You know how to tell
if it's a dream or reality, right?

Of course.

When I'm dreaming,
this watch gets the day and night wrong.

To wake up from that dream,
I'll have to do what I fear the most.

Then, sweet dreams.

You won't have to wake up
from it this time

because you'll be dead before then.

You said you didn't have
an appointment with Mr. Lee.

Even police officers
need a warrant to enter.

We know that
Mr. Lee is upstairs in his office.

Just call him.

You're so frustrating.

If I jump from here, it'll be faster
than a sports car, right?

-Damn it!
-You need a warrant!

-Somebody just fell!
-Is he dead?

Damn it!

Number , Jamie Leighton.

We'll meet again soon.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS ADOPT
SURVIVOR FROM WHITE NIGHT VILLAGE

LEE TAE-SU JUMPS OFF BUILDING AND DIES

-What?
-Why did I even knock?

Ji-uk.

Seriously? Why didn't you answer my calls?

Can you give us the room?

Okay. I'll leave.

I'll let you two talk.

What is it? You show up unannounced,
looking all serious.

Take a look at this.

SEOUL HANGANG WELFARE CENTER

Hello.

It's been a while.

As a matter of fact, when I saw
on the news that Director Lee was sick,

I was very worried.

And now, your son…

Let's not talk about that.

Things have been a bit hectic lately,
so please be extra careful.

That's what I came to tell you.

Gyeong-min?

Still?

Okay. Bye.

I'm going home as soon as I'm done here.

Yes, sir.

Has the foundation been
this incompetent before?

Both my husband and son are dead.

But you don't know who did it?

Director Park Gyu-tae, CEO Baek Seung-jae,
Professor Choi Yong-seok,

and my husband.

They were all
on the board of the foundation.

And now, my son is dead.

And don't forget Mr. Son
and Lawyer Nam Woo-cheon.

That means someone is trying
to harm the foundation.

What the hell is the foundation
doing about this?

Your emotional outburst of anger
will only make things worse.

If you can't stay calm, why don't you
just pull out from the foundation?

What did you say?

We started the foundation.

We're nothing like a freeloader like you
who joined the board through nepotism.

Then help me run the foundation smoothly

without the outburst.

The kids.

Just make sure we have the test subjects.

What did Superintendent Do want to know?

Who told him that?

It was you.

It won't end like this…

Do Jeong-woo.

You're discharged now.

The former superintendent, Do Jeong-woo,
who was arrested as the culprit

of the serial forewarned m*rder case
that caused an uproar recently,

could face a cerebral artery
dissection at any time…

Your face is all over the news.

Should you be out in broad daylight?

You might get stabbed and bother me again.

-And the welfare center?
-It must be Seoul Hangang Welfare Center.

Dr. Lee's wife came by the center today.
And guess who I saw when I tailed her.

Who?

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan
of the Blue House.

It looks like something is bound
to happen at the welfare center.

Oh, right. Was it this Lee Tae-su?

The guy who jumped off
his own building and d*ed a few days ago.

He's Lee Byeong-seon's son.

Did you find the -year-old guy?

You always say whatever you want
and never listen. Damn it.

The only thing you know is his age.

I don't even know his last name,
let alone his face. How can I find him?

And you ask me to do so many things.
All you do is talk and boss me around.

You should never be allowed
to talk ever again.

By the way, why are you looking
for that -year-old guy?

He's the culprit.

-What are you talking about?
-He's the one who made Lee Tae-su jump.

What?

A missing child from White Night Village
who began the forewarned murders.

So you just assumed that

the laptop was a mere clue
to the forewarned murders.

But you could access it
with your fingerprints.

And the laptop had data
relevant to White Night Village.

And…

you also found files
on your father, Gong Il-do.

I think someone wanted me
to look at this data.

That's why it was set up
with my fingerprints.

-Do Jeong-woo.
-It's possible.

At first, when I thought
Mr. Do was the culprit,

I assumed the other victims were just
scapegoats to get to Son Min-ho.

But I might have been wrong.

I'm not sure,

but the m*rder victims might have had
something to do with White Night Village.

-Did you see this?
-What? That's…

I saw him at the party
where Baek Seung-jae d*ed.

-Is he dead, too?
-Yes.

This time,
I didn't get any letter or video.

The culprit is still k*lling them
by the same method.

If Dr. Leighton is right,

other than her and Do Jeong-woo,

the other child who survived the tragedy
must be the prime suspect.

How are these victims all connected?

We should find out.

Don't come near me.

Don't come closer.

Don't come near me!

Don't!

You can't even look after our son?

What are you afraid of?

Dad. Dad, help me.

Of course I'll help you.

You're my son.

I'll take care of it. Don't worry.

I keep seeing that bastard.
I keep seeing him.

I keep seeing him.

I can see him.

All right.

Around the time of Lee Tae-su's death,

there were suspicious people
who visited him in his office.

-Suspicious people?
-Yes. Come here.

But there's only one security camera
in the hallway.

I can't make them out because they're
far away, and the direction is off.

I guess he has a lot to hide.

How did I not see this coming?

He didn't feel like a stranger
even when I first met him.

Weren't you trying to get this?

This part of my head felt weird.

We met too often to call it a coincidence.

What?

Hey. Are you okay?

He naturally showed interest in me.

You were there
when the fire started, right?

I…

I think I can help you with that.

You're centimeters tall
and weigh kilograms.

A complete stranger.

Come to think of it, Do Jeong-woo asked
his informant to find a woman and a man.

The woman was Dr. Leighton.

But I don't know who the guy is.
I only know he's years old.

Superintendent Do Jeong-woo was looking
for the m*rder*r from the start.

The third child…

was already nearby.

I must go to White Night Village.

I've been just wasting my time for days.

He only goes to the lab
and comes back home.

That's not the bus going home.

And this way.

-On a rock?
-Write J.

I'm going to do it like this.

-I'll circle my spot.
-Over there.

Which part of a person is this?

Hey, I want to join you.

Sure. Write it down here.

-Here?
-Yes.

-Number .
-Let's go.

Let's go.

We'll win first place!

Be careful.

Seo-u, get in.

-No.
-Why not?

-Be a good boy. Come on, let's go.
-No.

-Let's go, Seo-u.
-No.

Good boy.

Se-bin, have a safe trip. Bye.

You, too. Seo-u.

Then do you know
where the secret laboratory is?

I don't know that, either.

There's no reason for me to go there.

Why did he get off here?

This isn't the way home.
It's the opposite direction.

Is it finally coming to an end?

The first one is blank.

You know what's next, right?

You jerk!

The first one is blank.

I can't guarantee what happens next.

Take me with you.

A rat who got away years ago
doesn't seem to know his place.

The world is so unfair.

Shouldn't everyone be on equal footing
when it comes to life and death?

Sacrifices are necessary
for successful experiments.

Dad.

You're a monster!

Jamie Leighton will be
Do Jeong-woo's weakness.

We're going to catch Do Jeong-woo.

That's where it all starts.

How long do you think
you can cover up your eyes and ears

and turn away from the truth?

Someone has to stop them.
