ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

How did he find my house?

Why are you here this late?

I have something to show you
about White Night Village.

Where is Oh Gyeong-min now?

I need the location
of the secret laboratory.

Hye-won.

Sometimes, it's better not
to know anything.

Oh Jeong-hwan is a lot more dangerous
than you think.

So just send his son back.
I'm pleading with you as your father.

-Don't do anything dangerous.
-Dad.

How many times must I tell you
Do Jeong-woo is using you?

It has nothing to do with him.

It's not too late, Dad.

It's not too late to make things right.

There's nothing more to discuss.

Take a look at this.

This lieutenant general was
the most involved

in the White Night Village project.

Lt. General Yoo Gwon.

I read about him
while doing research a while ago.

He's one of the people
who disappeared after the tragedy.

-There's no death record of him.
-Right.

And this photo.

It was taken at the opening ceremony
of Baegya Biotech Research Lab,

Baegya Biotech's predecessor company.

The lieutenant general
is in the photo, too.

OPENING CEREMONY OF
BAEGYA BIOTECH RESEARCH LAB

Right.

But what about him?

Do you know who his son-in-law is?

It's Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan.

What's strange is that I can't get
Chief Secretary Oh's past records at all.

His record in the press is everything.

Shouldn't we be able to access information
about a chief secretary of the Blue House?

Exactly my point.
There's something fishy about him.

If you put it that way,

it's not surprising that
Oh Jeong-hwan's son was the m*rder target.

Did the warning letter…

come in the mail?

Certified mail. Why?

Lieutenant Gong.

-We meet again.
-Who are you?

What are you doing?

Did you really think I would give away
the location of the lab that easily?

So you don't want to get your son back?

I've been protecting it my whole life.
I can't give it away like this.

Mr. Do!

Are you surprised?

Seeing how surprised you are,
she must be special to you.

Now, let my son go.

Does Dr. Gong know
that you kidnapped his daughter?

Cut the crap! Let my son go!

Let go of her first.

Right. Didn't your son
see a therapist recently?

The therapist is
behind the forewarned murders.

Didn't you know?

Mr. Son, didn't you already know?

Why didn't you tell him?

Let go of Gyeong-min now.

I will.

Let go of her, too.

Get him!

That was a hunting r*fle.

It's been ages since he fired it,
so I was worried,

but luckily for you, he's still good.

Did you think I came
all the way here unprepared?

I don't know where he's sh**ting from,

so you should try to get out if you can.

What are you doing? Get him!

I won a five-day vacation
when I was doing my m*llitary duty

for my sh**ting skills.

He's making me do
all this sh*t at this age.

Why can't I see them?

I'm sorry.

I should've been more careful.

Are you hurt?

No.

All right, then.

CONVENIENCE STORE

We ran into each other a lot
at the convenience store.

So he must live somewhere around here.

It won't be easy to pinpoint it because
the surrounding area is all residential.

What happened to my team's office?

You startled me.
Why didn't you knock, Dr. Leighton?

Isn't that basic manners in the States?

I'm sorry.

The Special Investigation Team's
office is emptied out.

I told you that
the team would be disbanded.

We've received orders from above
to clean out the office immediately.

The forewarned m*rder case isn't over yet.

You cleaned out the office
without telling me--

Superiors give orders.
Subordinates follow.

Don't you know that you are expected
to follow orders in the organization?

Isn't it time for you to get used to
how we do things around here?

Where are Lieutenant Yoon
and Lieutenant Jang?

COMMUNITY ORDER DIVISION

-Dr. Leighton.
-Dr. Leighton.

What happened?

They'd already emptied
the office this morning.

We're still on standby.

We couldn't do anything.

I should've taken a photo.

Some of the higher-ups
must be getting impatient.

Even if our office is gone,
we must still catch the culprit.

-I see. Yes.
-Yes.

-Mr. Do.
-What is it?

You recruited me to your team
because of my dad, right?

I saw your glasses.

At first, yes.
But things are very different now.

I didn't think Ji-wan
would be connected as well.

Now that Director Lee is dead,
there's no need for him to know about it.

What's next?

You know the places we checked before?

One of the places seems a bit fishy, so…

Mr. Do.

Mr. Do.

-Mr. Do, are you okay?
-What?

Oh, no.

-Jeong-woo! Do Jeong-woo!
-Mr. Do!

What's wrong? Hey!

Hey, old man.

Yes. Go ahead.

Talk to me.

I was scared that you were going to
sh**t at me earlier. I'm fine now.

This jerk.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.

We don't have much time.
We must find it soon.

Remember the convenience store
where we first met?

I also often met the third child
at the same convenience store.

Considering how he wore comfortable
clothes and slippers to the store,

I think he lives around here.

But I think there are way too many houses
to pinpoint to one house in this area.

Reporter Lee got the warning letter
via certified mail.

If we look into this barcode here,

we can find out which post office he used
and on which date he mailed it.

You can get the security footage, right?

I'm on it.

What is this?

Who are these people?

What now?

We're good. You can come out.

This gas isn't good for our health.
Let's go!

Hey, Jeong-woo!

Wait for me. They're not following us.

I passed out when I was kidnapped.
They must've put it on me then.

Oh Jeong-hwan.
That man is trying to be clever.

He even mobilized soldiers,
so he must've been feeling impatient.

Why is he trying so hard to catch you?

Because I know a secret
that no one else knows about?

Old man, are you okay?

By the way, your house is gone. What now?

Ever since you rolled in here, I knew
something like this would happen someday.

I've held out pretty long.

What will you do now?

You know what I've been through.

Don't worry. I'll call you,
so stay out of trouble for now.

Old man.

Be careful.

We don't know when they'll be back.

We need a place to hide.

I know the safest place.

I also have a favor to ask.

Let's go.

Okay.

I don't know what to say.

You're lucky that my son's okay.

If he wasn't, I would be looking
at your corpse here right now.

I just got carried away that I could catch
both Do Jeong-woo and the third child.

You'd better catch at least one of them
as soon as possible.

-Ask Son Min-ho to meet you.
-Me?

Call him to your office.

I'll take care of the rest.

Okay.

JANG YONG-SIK

What's going on?

Moon Jae-ung wants you to come
to my office at :  p.m. tomorrow.

-Is it my turn now?
-I don't know about that.

He said he'd take care of the rest.

Okay.

Am I really the bait now?

That's a good way to catch a monster.

What a relief.

Nothing can happen to you

because you're my future.

It's getting worse.

This is Chief Lee's home?

Do Jeong-woo. You!

Ma'am, how have you been?

What a nice place.

You live alone in a -pyeong apartment
in the middle of Gangnam.

This is what life is all about.

What are you doing here?

The house of a high-ranking police officer
who hates me the most.

There's no safer place than here.

Even the mighty Baegya Foundation
wouldn't think to look for me here.

What did you two do to Oh Gyeong-min?

You have a lot of things on your mind.

He went back to his parents.

Not in the way I had in mind.

What on earth is your plan?

My plan?

Here is the rest
of Son Min-ho's slush fund.

You can either retrieve it as a cop

or put it in your pocket just like this.

That's up to you.

Son Min-ho's slush fund?

Then…

He's the problem.

We need to get the boss.

This means he was the architect
of the serial bank robbery case

your team had been looking for.

-Did you already know?
-I found this out only recently.

Come on. What's the big deal?

Take my deal. Isn't that a good deal?
Let us hide here for a bit.

Is that the only reason
you came to see me?

No.

Since you made a deal with Son Min-ho,
you probably know what happened

at White Night Village.

The same experiment is still going on.

Using children as test subjects.

What are you talking about?

I'm sure you've guessed it already,
but the police

and many people in leadership positions
in Korea are connected to this.

Police Commissioner Kim Chang-gu
is also involved.

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan
is at the heart of this whole thing.

I asked you to monitor the welfare centers
the other day

because I wanted to stop them from
giving away the kids as test subjects.

They are running the experiments
to prolong their lives

while sacrificing children.

Shouldn't we stop this?

Chief Lee.

What do you want me to do?

You're here.

I suggest you dispose of our recent
failed test subjects quickly.

Okay. I'll take care of it.

And these two children
could fail at any minute.

The aging process is accelerating.

I'm starting to age even before
I'm scheduled to take another pill.

On top of that,
I don't have a lot of pills left, either.

We need more test subjects
with a greater cell potency.

To do that, we need more serum
from children under the age of .

And if I don't get it,

I can't make any more medicine for you,
let alone finish this experiment.

If you cannot take the pills on time
every six hours,

the aging process will
accelerate exponentially.

We must get the test subjects
even if it's risky.

What is this?

We might be able to use the serum of
the children who were experimented on

in White Night Village.

If this medicine can minimize
the side effects that you got back then,

we'll be able to replace it with the serum
from the kids for the time being.

Hello. You're here.

Yes.

I met with my daughter and tried
to talk some sense into her,

but I couldn't get through to her.
I'm sorry.

I found my son.

Thank goodness. How…

As expected, Do Jeong-woo used my son
to find the location of this lab.

So I took your daughter
and traded her for my son.

What do you mean?

Are you saying you kidnapped her?

So you think it's okay for your daughter
to kidnap my son,

but not for me to kidnap your daughter?

Your daughter took my son.

Of course your daughter has
to take responsibility for this!

Where is my daughter?

I'm sure Do Jeong-woo will
take good care of her.

Are you nervous?

What?

Sweets are the best anxiety remedy.

Do you want a lollipop?

Forget it, then.

What was that?

It's about your dad, isn't it?

I thought I had made peace
because I'm doing the right thing.

But it's not easy.

If it was that easy,
he wouldn't be your family.

What's with that face?

"He's got no family. What does he know
about it?" I can read your face.

You have a family, too.

Keep this with you.

Why give them to me?

Well, we ended up in the same boat,
so to celebrate…

No, it's a present… No, just hold onto it.

The same experiment is still going on.

Using children as test subjects.

I'm sure you've guessed it already,
but the police

and many people in leadership positions
in Korea are connected to this.

Police Commissioner Kim Chang-gu
is also involved.

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan
is at the heart of this whole thing.

What is this about?

Right to the point.

Go ahead.

The real culprit will show up at the Modu
headquarters at :  p.m. tonight.

The real culprit?

He'll probably try to k*ll me.

Then you don't have to show up there.

I'll use myself as bait.

But why are you telling me this?

I'm reporting to a cop that an innocent
citizen is at the risk of being m*rder*d.

The police won't just stand by
and do nothing.

Son Min-ho called me.

The real culprit
of the forewarned m*rder case

will show up at the Modu HQ
at :  p.m. tonight

to k*ll him.

Oh, really?

Gosh. It was worth giving you the money.

-Thank you.
-I'll be at the scene, too.

All right. See you then.

Don't forget to lock the door.

From what we've gathered so far,
White Night Village appears

to be a huge project

with a national input
which centered around the m*llitary.

White Night Village was like the utopia
where they collectively

raised children and made a cure-all.

On the surface, they came up with
a fancy slogan, collective child-rearing.

But what if there was an internal
experiment to achieve a different goal?

Furthermore, what if this experiment
used children as their test subjects?

It's a terrible thing to even imagine.

We haven't uncovered the truth yet.

What is the secret agenda
behind White Night Village?

Who is at the center of it?

I will get to the bottom of this
and report the truth.

One step closer to current events.

I'm Lee Ji-uk of
Zoom In on Current Events.

Will the third child
really k*ll Son Min-ho?

Could this be another trap to catch you?

He failed to k*ll Oh Gyeong-min
and Dr. Leighton, and he couldn't b*at me.

So he'll go after the people
from Baegya Foundation this time.

-But I still can't believe it.
-What?

That you're the architect of the bank
robbery that we'd been looking for.

By the way, do you need money?

I have a lot of money stashed away.
Want some?

Stop it.

I'm shocked because
I didn't see it coming at all.

I'm on the run because people think
I'm a m*rder*r. That's nothing.

Chief Lee won't report this, right?

She does everything for her own benefit.

On the contrary, if we pay
the right price to get her to help us,

she can be the most trustworthy person.

Where are we going now?

To see the old man.

But his shop was compromised.

He's not ordinary.
Don't you realize that yet?

What is this?

Where's our stuff?

Ji-uk, our show has been canceled.

-What?
-I just found out.

The board ordered our show
to be canceled right away.

What are you talking about?

I think it came down from the higher-ups
whom we might have offended.

Gosh. I'm not even close
to paying back my loan.

-What if we get fired?
-Gosh.

So this is how they'll play this?

They're making me competitive.

Thank you.

Yes, Dr. Leighton.
We have the security footage.

Great. I'm on my way to the agency.

Yes. I think it's here.

Let's go.

PALBANG EMPLOYMENT

I'm looking for a job.

Yes, I'm glad you found the place.

Where are we?
Are you sure we're safe here?

Random people can just come and go.

The real camouflage is
making it look like an ordinary place.

Did you get what I asked for?

Of course.

How cocky.

This is one of the places
that had the backup generators.

Didn't you say there wasn't much to it?

Why is there
a high-capacity backup generator

in a place where they keep dead bodies?

I still think that's fishy.

Bringing the dead back to life
must be the only answer.

Right.

If there were a secret lab here,
where would it be?

It must be somewhere inconspicuous.

Somewhere inconspicuous.

There's only one way down to the basement.

Then the secret lab must be
down there somewhere.

Go to Modu for now.

The police are on a stakeout.
Keep an eye on them and call me.

-What about you?
-Me?

I should

go to the memorial park.

If the third child is going
after Son Min-ho at Modu tonight,

everyone's attention will be on that,
including Oh Jeong-hwan's.

In the meantime,

I must find

the secret lab.

What? Why did he go in there?

-What is it?
-Take a look at this.

Why did he enter the Modu building
at this hour?

Right?

He doesn't look like an employee there.

I must go there now.

FREON
FREEZING FACILITY

-Where's Son Min-ho?
-He'll be here on time.

What are you going to do?

-Are you really going to k*ll him?
-Why?

Are you scared now?

No, that's not it.

It's not like this is our first rodeo.

Just do what you like to do.
Drink and relax.

I'll take care of everything.

He's going in now. Keep an eye on him.

So you finally found this place.

Did you know this was the secret lab?

I just found out that this was the lab.

I've come to the memorial park
with Chief Secretary Oh a few times.

But I always waited in the parking lot.

He always came in here alone.

Then do you know
where they moved the secret lab?

I don't know yet.

I think setting up the lab got delayed
because they were in a hurry to move.

Right.

But why did you…

come all the way here?

Dr. Leighton.

-Lieutenant Gong.
-What are you doing here?

At :  p.m., the third child
will k*ll Son Min-ho here.

What?

It wasn't a coincidence that he entered
this building.

What are you going to do?

Let's go up first.

It's almost nine o'clock.

So it is.

What is it?

You should be feeling it by now.

What do you mean?

Did you forget why I tried
to k*ll Do Jeong-woo and Jamie?

They abandoned me to save themselves.

Did you think I didn't know
that you're working with Son Min-ho?

I just wanted to live.

I created this company for you.

I gave you wealth and power
that other people would envy.

Isn't that enough? You still want to live?

I never felt like I was alive
after I escaped from White Night Village.

I didn't know when you would k*ll me…

Fine. I'll let you go now.

Bye.

Who are you guys?

Team Three,
follow all cars leaving the building.

-What?
-What are you all doing here?

Are you okay?

We heard that the third child
is planning to k*ll you.

News travels fast.

Yes. When I heard that he was after me,

I came all this way to be his bait.

But he hasn't shown up past the time
of our meeting which is quite rude.

Who did you hear that from?

Jang Yong-sik, the head of Modu
who lives with the third child…

told me that I would be the next target.

Ma'am.

Is everything okay?

How did you guys know about the thr*at?

I'm grateful that so many people
are interested in keeping me alive.

I think you're safe.

Some cars left in a hurry a while ago.

-To where?
-I lost them.

Search a bit more.

-Make sure to check every corner.
-Yes, ma'am.

This guy.

Jang Yong-sik.

He escaped with the three of us
from the village after the tragedy.

He was living with the third child.

Mr. Jang is also a survivor
of White Night Village?

But he wasn't a test subject.

He was just a handyman there.

Then…

I'm sure that the third child
lives in this building.

ELECTRICAL ROOM, RESTRICTED AREA

Go! Hurry!

He's dead.

Looks like he's been living here
the whole time.

Someone poisoned his drinks.

Was putting my son in danger fun for you?

So your son must mean a lot to you.

Moon Jae-ung.

The third child who survived
the tragedy at White Night Village.

You've never had a job
or owned a credit card in your life.

The address on
your resident registration is fake.

I've only met one other person
who has this kind of history.

It was Do Jeong-woo.

Why did you k*ll
so many directors of the foundation?

I'm sure you know the answer to that
after all you've done in the village.

Were you trying to get your revenge?

"Revenge."

My life started to go wrong from
the beginning because of you guys.

We fed you, put a roof over you,
and educated you.

Did you not think that our treatment
was more than what you deserved?

I didn't ask for loving parents
which every child deserves.

I just wanted to be like the other kids.
I just wanted to have fun and play.

I could've had a normal life,
but you guys ruined it.

It was interesting how you forewarned
the board members' deaths

before they k*lled themselves.

Seeing a m*rder*r who didn't even
have to lift a finger to k*ll someone

was very novel.

I should have k*lled your son
the same way.

Where's Mr. Jang?

Did you k*ll him?

That's too bad.

He really wanted to get away from you.

The culprit of the forewarned murders

is the third child who survived
the tragedy at the village.

I assume he's the one
who tried to k*ll my son.

He lives in the basement
of the Modu building.

The basement of the Modu building…

I wasn't expecting that.

He'll get Son Min-ho to come to
my office at p.m. tomorrow and k*ll him.

Why don't you get him before that?

Why are you telling me this?

I want to get away from him now.

In the end,
he was even conspiring with you.

He did everything he could to survive.

You were supposed
to be my guinea pig long ago.

I let you live too long.

We might be able to use the serum of
the children who were experimented on

in White Night Village.

If this medicine can minimize
the side effects you got back then,

we'll be able to replace it with the serum
from the kids for the time being.

What is it? Turn on the light.

Our government is wasting labor costs
on such useless stuff.

How many men did you bring
just to get one person?

Do Jeong-woo?

What is the chief secretary doing
in such a stinking basement?

Shouldn't you focus on your job?

How did you know we were here?

At :  p.m. tonight,
Oh Jeong-hwan will catch the third child.

He'll catch the third child?

How?

Jang Yong-sik of Modu
met with Oh Jeong-hwan.

The third child wants to k*ll Son Min-ho.

And Jang told him
where the third child was hiding.

He'll get the third child and take him
to the basement of the Daejin Building.

What? Weren't you looking for me?

You've got to be better than that
to catch me.

sh**t him now!

It's been a while,

my son.

Just when you think you're through,

that's when it all begins.

There's nothing we can change.

Thanks for raising me
to be a great test subject, Mother.

Madness.
I only remember the madness in her eyes.

-Did you have a dream?
-I had a very scary dream.

I'm sorry you had to go through this.

We got the guinea pig.
Now, we just need to get the fourth child.

To put everything back the way it was.

Is the formula all you need?

That's it. Saving mankind.

Give me the finished product.

It's complete.

You said just when people think they are
through, that's when it all begins.
