ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

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.

What is this?

The anesthetic didn't work at all.

Is it because I've had this before?

You'd better get
something stronger next time.

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

What happened?

He may already have been immune to it
since he was injected with it before.

But I didn't think it would be this fast.

What are you doing? Get him!

If you take one more step,

you will see something so terrible
that you'll never forget it.

Don't just stand there. Get him!

I'll arrange a good post for you
to thank you for your cooperation.

What am I doing?

Damn it. Should I turn around now?

Oh, gosh.

Jeong-woo, what are you doing here?

How have you been, Mr. Hwang?

I missed you.

You crazy jerk.

Stay on the run.
Why did you show up in front of me?

No hard feelings
about the autopsy room incident.

I understand why you had to do that.

Well, it was out of my control.

Jeong-woo.

Are you really the culprit?

What difference does it make if I'm not?

You're driving me crazy.

What on earth is going on?

You know Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan?
The man who's been bothering you.

How do you know that?

He's planning something big.

What do you mean?

Something that should never happen.

We have to stop him. Please help me, sir.

What did you say earlier?

You said just when people
think they're through,

that's when it all begins.

I don't think
you've grasped the situation.

Do you know how much money
Baegya Foundation spent on the police?

A few cops under our control
won't change anything.

Then what about me?

What about Lieutenant Gong?
And the Special Investigation Team?

You think you have control
over , cops

just because you won over
a few higher-ups with money?

This is ridiculous.

Damn it.
My kids aren't even in college yet.

My trust in the organization is gone.

Being a cop is not something
I'm proud of anymore.

Right. I should keep my dignity.

I can't embarrass myself.

All right. Listen up.

I've been informed that

one of our own is being threatened
in the basement of this building.

I know a lot of people have lost
trust in us,

but how could the criminals
dare to thr*aten one of us?

Damn it. That just isn't right.

What are you waiting for? Arrest them all!

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

You guys, go left! You guys, go right!

I think we should go.

-Go find them!
-Yes, sir!

I'm sure I'll see you again very soon.

I'll take care of this here.
Hurry up and find them.

-Move.
-Yes, sir!

Hey. Jeong-woo, are you okay?

What took you so long?

What did you expect?
You didn't tell us where you'd be.

Locating you was a pain in the ass.

I'll take off my jacket,
so put it over your head.

I don't want anyone to see
that I just saved a wanted man.

I'm good. Just help him.

-Who is that?
-You don't need to know that.

You're crazy. You can't keep
a man in chains like that.

My gosh.

How do we get that chain off?

How did Do Jeong-woo find
the basement of the building?

I'm not sure.

What is this place?

Hey, where are you going?

Why are you worried? It's not like you.

You punk. I just saved your ass.

Jeong-woo, will you really be okay?

Don't worry about me. Be careful.

I don't know what
Oh Jeong-hwan will do next.

My gosh.

We didn't get anyone, after all.

I have no idea what's going on.

Are you really not going to tell me?

Thank you for today.

You're a good person.

Mr. Do, are you okay?

Who the hell is that?

Is that the -year-old guy
you've been trying so hard to find?

Hand him over to the police.
Why bring him here?

You must clear your name for the murders.

I'll be exonerated one day.
That's not important right now.

If that's not important, what is?

Aren't you tired of being on the run?

I don't think it's a good idea
to hand him over right now.

Not you too, Dr. Leighton.

It's highly likely that he has
a dissociative identity disorder.

I think I can help you with that.

I'll bring my laptop.

I can find out at least
where you had surgery.

And you will pay for that, too.

When we met again in White Night Village,
he was a completely different person.

Dissociative identity disorder?
He has multiple personalities?

Even if we take him to the police now,
if a different personality has taken over,

it's highly likely that
he doesn't remember anything.

Then there will be no grounds
for punishment due to insanity.

More importantly…

He'll think that he's abandoned again.

Right.

But we still need to reveal the truth.

Actually, I had dissociative amnesia, too.

But as it turns out, it was all
due to the shock from the tragedy.

The third child said the same thing.

You left me alone in the dark

so you could save yourselves.

And you will pay for that, too.

In the end, all of us are

victims of the tragedy.

Yes.

What a way to make me feel guilty.

I'm not saying it's your fault.

No, it's my fault. That's why I want
to put everything back the way it was.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan?

Hush.

Hold on.

CHIEF SECRETARY OH JEONG-HWAN

Speak of the devil. Gosh.

Hwang Byeong-cheol speaking.

What do you think you're doing?

-Dad! Let me out!
-I didn't know that you'd be there.

If I'd known, I'd never have gone.

I just heard that a cop was held c*ptive.
That's why I went.

Where is Do Jeong-woo now?

I don't know.

I thought you were worried
about your family,

but I guess not.

Damn it.

Wait.

Are you threatening me right now?

No, I was just…

I was just sharing my opinion of you.

But this is too bad. I witnessed things
I shouldn't have last night.

It'd be okay if it was just me, but even
some b*at cops saw a lot of things.

Anyway, I'll make sure they keep quiet
about what happened yesterday.

So you should stop contacting me!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, please let me out.

Where are you going?

Dad.

Dad…

What are you doing?

What are you doing?
Why are you hurting him?

Gyeong-min.

You have a visitor.

What the hell is going on?

I was the one who saved
your life from the third child.

But…

I don't know when that child
will go after you again.

Do Jeong-woo took the third child.

-What?
-Why are you so surprised?

Didn't you already know?

I understand that you're upset
because I didn't tell you about him.

I don't know anything about last night.

So you're not the spy?

There's no reason I would.

I need the children.

Children?

Getting our test subjects
became difficult because of Do Jeong-woo.

We need children under right now.

You said you wanted to be
on the board of the foundation.

Forget about joining the board.

This may be your last chance
to save your life.

Do you remember Dr. Cho Hyeon-hui?

I do.

Our mom.

Your mom?

Son Min-ho was in charge of
running White Night Village.

-Cho Hyeon-hui was…
-In charge of the research.

What about her?

I met Cho Hyeon-hui yesterday.

What's shocking is that she hasn't aged
at all. She looked exactly the same.

How is that possible?

I think she experimented on herself
with the formula I created.

The formula?

Then they were looking for you
because of the formula?

So it worked.

Where is this formula now?

Do you have it?

I need some fresh air.

Are you okay?

Yes.

No.

I'm very confused.

That Cho Hyeon-hui is alive?

All these years, I forgot about the person
who gave birth to me.

And I thought I wouldn't be too shocked
even if I met my biological mom one day.

Then it must be even more shocking
to know that she hasn't aged.

After getting my memories back,
I vaguely recall

our mom.

But I didn't feel any warmth from her.

I can't even remember her face.

Madness.

I only remember the madness in her eyes.

If you didn't create that formula,

could all of this have been
a little bit different?

Perhaps.

The experiment wasn't a complete success.

Otherwise,
they wouldn't have come looking for me.

Right.

I need to rest.

I've been shocked enough for today.

I don't think you should
go home for the time being.

Are you worried?

See if there's a hotel nearby
you can stay at.

Sir.

You startled me.

-Do you have any news about Mr. Do?
-Shush!

How do you guys know that?

How come everyone knows
about this so-called secret operation?

What about Mr. Do? He's okay, right?

I don't know, man.

Sir.

Fine. Yes, he's fine.

I dropped him off yesterday
after helping him,

although I don't know where that was.

-I'm so relieved.
-That was the right thing to do, sir.

You have my respect. That was so cool.

Don't be ridiculous.

You're indeed a role model for us cops.

-What? Let go.
-Thank you.

Okay. I got it. Let go of me.

Thank you so much.

-How's it going?
-Hey. You're here.

This is nice.

Nowadays, a cell phone and a computer
are enough to run a broadcasting station.

That's right. Equipment is not important.

All we have to do is satisfy
the people's right to know.

Isn't that right, Mr. No?

Even though people criticized me
and called me an awful producer,

it's better to have a stable job
at the TV station.

Lucky me. I ended up with a troublemaker.
Gosh.

What?

It's sour.

This candy is sour. I picked a sour one.

You just wait.

There's a scoop
no TV crew can even dream of getting.

And we'll get it.

YOO GWON DISAPPEARED IN
HIS SON-IN-LAW, OH JEONG-HWAN

OPENING CEREMONY OF
BAEGYA BIOTECH RESEARCH LAB

How's Dr. Leighton?

Well, she pretended to be fine.

Well, that means…

You could tell what Dr. Leighton was
thinking, but she didn't say anything.

Why don't you just ask her directly?

I heard she's your twin sister.

You said it was normal for me to be
confused about my dad because he's family.

Why are you so awkward?

To us, there's no affection
or a bond of family.

You know, there was no time for us
to bond as a family.

What's that sound?

-Old man, give me some sedatives.
-Okay.

Here.

-Keys.
-What?

I'm going to drive myself.

Why did you open it?
You didn't know it was me.

Is it okay here?

Are you all right?

Hotels are no different than my place
in Korea. They are all temporary.

I'm going to have some coffee.
Do you want some?

Sure.

Korea is much better than I thought.

People can have
sweet lattes at home like this.

So if you're here to tell me
to go back to the States, don't.

I was one of the people
in charge of solving this case.

And I'm also involved in this case.

I'm not here to talk about that.

I noticed that yesterday, you looked…

a little sad.

Are you worried about me?

Why? Because you're my brother?

Or…

because I know that you're my brother now?

It doesn't suit you. You know that, right?

I know,
but I have to get this off my chest.

Don't feel so bad.

To Cho Hyeon-hui,

we could have been mere test subjects,
not her children.

No way.

She's still our parent.

"Parent."

It's such an unfamiliar word.

I don't remember much about her.

But there's one thing that
comes to mind from time to time.

But…

why did you drop honorifics?

Isn't it normal to drop honorifics
to my twin sister?

You can drop them, too.

I'm more comfortable
with using honorifics.

Besides, I have a name.

How should I address you?

"Dr. Leighton" sounds too cold.

Hey, Jamie.

See? It's weird.

Right.

You did have a name once.

Ji-hui.

Ji-hui.

Kim Ji-hui, wake up.

Hey.

-Did you have a dream?
-How did you know?

I had one, too.

What dream?

A sad dream.

I had a very scary dream.

I don't remember what it was.

But I was so scared.

What's wrong?

-Mom.
-Yes.

Did you have a nightmare?

It's okay. You're okay.

I'm right here. Okay?

Yes, I remember that.

But don't you remember what happened next?

I think it's gotten worse lately.

We must keep an eye on them.

Is it a side effect?

I don't know.

The higher the IQ,
the more night terrors people get.

Other subjects are
sensitive to their dreams too,

but her case is a little more extreme.

That's what happens when they get injected
with dr*gs before they're even born.

I did it for the sake
of the experiment's success.

Don't give me that.

I must dig a little deeper.

-What are they talking about?
-Quiet!

The people in the States
are your real family.

Go back to your real family.

See? You're saying that again.

This is really sweet.

Is changing the subject all you can do?

The third child became a monster
because of White Night Village.

But you want me to leave
without seeing it through?

No. I can't do that.

I won't leave until I see the collapse of

Baegya Foundation, the one responsible
for creating White Night Village.

Over my dead body.

-Over your dead body?
-Over my dead body.

You never listen, Ji-hui.

-You're here.
-Hey.

How's he doing?

Same as yesterday.

What's that?

The drug Oh Jeong-hwan injected him with.

It probably minimizes
the side effects of the experiments.

To continue the experiment,
the serum needs to be healthy.

"Minimize."

The disorder is one of the side effects
of the experiment, so it could go away.

If the drug works.

It's been a while.
I'll give him another sh*t.

They left without me, too.

Don't go!

Don't leave me alone!

No one will save us.

Wouldn't it be better to k*ll them first
than to be scared of being k*lled?

As for his friend… Get rid of it.

At the end of the day,
we are all alone in the world.

I'm going to k*ll them all.

Hey.

Honey.

It's dangerous.

The drug isn't perfect.

As for percent of the homeless people
in the experiment, they d*ed instantly.

And percent of them
are in a vegetative state.

The last homeless person
d*ed not long ago.

Then… give me the finished product.

Bring me the drug
that can prolong my wife's life!

Why isn't it working?

You said you even saw
the complete formula.

Because it was erased too quickly.

We're reconstructing it,
but there are too many variables.

I need some time
to figure out the exact formula.

"Time." That again!

Until when? It's been almost ten years.

Time isn't the only problem.

We only had a few vials of serum left
from the kids in the village.

Once we use the remaining serum, we won't
be able to make the medicine anymore.

Like you said, I saw a complete formula.

All we need is the time
to repeat the experiment--

Don't make it sound like
it's a simple problem!

So far, we've used children,
homeless people, and even thugs.

Do you know how many people we've used?

It will definitely succeed.

We just need the serum from children
under with a good cell potency.

As test subjects to inject the drug with.

No. No more.

Use the rest of the serum to make it work.

Otherwise,
it won't just be an experiment that ends.

But why are you drawing my blood?

To make sure that you're not sick.

What about me?

It might sting a bit, but do you want it?

No.

It will sting a bit.

The serum back then

was not the same one
other test subjects got.

The injection you got was
from Do Jeong-woo's serum.

Did you know that it would work?

You know that I risked my own life and
volunteered as a test subject on my own.

And I'm sure you know why.

If Do Jeong-woo's serum
had given you eternal youth…

You're okay. Calm down.

I'm sorry.

You're back, right?

Right?

Are you okay?

You're…

Do Jeong-woo.

You remembered.

Aren't you hungry?

Do you want me to buy you cup noodles?

No. I'm good.

Did you just smile?

You did, right?

By the way, what happened?

The last thing I remember
was being kidnapped.

Do you remember that?

What else?

When two of your completely
separate personalities merged into one,

I'm sure all those memories
and thoughts got merged, too.

We injected you with some dr*gs.

We don't know what will happen when
it wears off, so let's keep an eye on it.

Did the third child's serum work?

Yes.

The cellular differentiation is faster.
And the response is good.

But there's not enough serum.

With these children's serum,
we can try to make medicine.

But I can't guarantee
that it will be effective.

There is one more child
that survived the tragedy

at White Night Village.

I'm glad that he's okay.

He's mentally and physically unstable,
so we must give him more time.

My dad is the only one we know
who has connections to the lab.

Why don't I try to persuade
my dad one more time?

Hi, Dad. How are you?

It doesn't have to be long,
but can we talk in person?

Why are you here? Why don't you rest more?

What is it? Do you have something to say?

I just wanted to thank you.

I even tried to k*ll you.

But you saved me.

I had no choice.

That day, years ago,

I had no choice
but to leave you there alone

to find my sister
who went back to the village.

I searched frantically for my sister,
but I couldn't find her.

When I got back to the boat,
you were already gone.

This might sound like an excuse to you.

Ever since that day,

I've spent my entire life atoning
for what I did to the village,

and for leaving you there all alone.

I'm sorry you had to live like this.

I'm really sorry.

I did this to them.

I'm all alone on an empty street.

The sun is shining brightly.

But the watch that can't be wrong
says it's midnight.

That makes me wonder.

Is it day…

or night?

You're a monster.

A monster!

You're a monster!

No!

What now?

The bathroom.

No!

Jeong-woo, what's wrong?

Old man. I need my lollipop. The lollipop.

Hang in there.

Dad.

If you turn yourself in now,
your sentence can be reduced.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

I can take care of myself,
so tell me where the new secret lab is.

Is this why you wanted to see me?

Hye-won, let's say you're a doctor.

You have five patients
waiting for an organ transplant.

And they'll die right away without it.

A healthy person is sent
to the emergency room in an accident.

The best-case scenario is a coma.

If you procure the organs immediately,
you can save

five lives with the organ transplants.
What would you do?

But you can't take an organ
out of a living person. That's m*rder.

Right. I can't do that.

What if you can save
both the donor and the beneficiary?

I wouldn't think twice about it.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Saving mankind.

A lot of children have d*ed already.

If Do Jeong-woo hadn't erased the formula…

No. Even if he did, had he given us
the formula, we could have saved lives.

We've finally met,
and we're having this argument.

We should've just had a meal.

Is the formula all you need?

Mr. Do gave me a pair of glasses.

They were VR glasses
that were connected to some server.

I think…

the formula is in the glasses.

What I'm trying to achieve

is for the good of mankind.

I bet you're surprised to see me.

You're still using my daughter.

I'm here on your daughter's behalf
in case things get dangerous.

I'm disappointed to hear that.

-Are those the glasses with the formula?
-Well…

The answer depends on
what you're giving me.

I don't have anything to give you.

Okay, then.

What are you doing?

You said you had nothing for me,
so I'm going to destroy them.

You wouldn't do that
if the formula was in them.

You'd need them to make a deal.

Smart man.

Where's the new secret lab?

If your formula is right,

as soon as the drug is complete,

I'll tell you the location of the lab.

Why are you so obsessed
with the drug that doesn't exist?

I made the formula,
but even I'm not sure if it's right.

I've seen it.

I saw the people who succeeded
in this experiment.

I saw them with my own eyes.

Keep your promise.

JOINT PROJECT WITH THE ARMY

OPENING CEREMONY OF
BAEGYA BIOTECH RESEARCH LAB

YOO GWON DISAPPEARED IN
HIS SON-IN-LAW, OH JEONG-HWAN

I've seen it.

I saw the people who succeeded
in this experiment.

"People"?

There must be someone else
other than Cho Hyeon-hui.

JI HYEONG-GEUN DISAPPEARED IN

OH JEONG-HWAN'S RECORD STARTS FROM

DR. GONG IL-DO

Yes.

The formula is complete.

Are you sure?

I only have enough to make one injection.

But I need more serum
to continue the experiment.

You're talking about the fourth child.
Okay.

Oh, right. One more thing.

Even if I use this serum
to make the drug now,

I can't guarantee that it's safe.

So don't you think we need to find
more test subjects to fix that?

I'll have that ready soon.

Yes.

Thank you.

Don't you want to know how it went?

No. Based on the look on your face,
I know how it went.

I thought we had a chance.

It's not easy to get children.

-I'm sorry.
-That's enough.

No, I did my best…

That's not what I meant.

I'm telling you that I have not done
my best in how I've treated you.

His Excellency is looking for you.

-His Excellency?
-Yes.

I have not given you the credit
you deserve and treated you unfairly.

His Excellency has strongly
reprimanded me.

I'm sorry.

There's no need to apologize.

You're done for the day. I'll see His…

Please come in.

So this is…

We got the guinea pig.

Now, we just need to get the fourth child.

I dedicated my whole life to serving you.
Is this the end of me?

You were a rat that was born
to be used for experiments.

I fed you, put a roof over you,
gave you money,

and helped you live a decent life.
Haven't I done enough?

Do Jeong-woo was right.

So…

do you need my serum, too?

I knew it was you, you bastard.

So you know what's happening.
This will be easy.

Let's get this over with quickly.

Do you think

it will be that easy to take me?

You seem to have a backup plan.

He does have a backup plan.

What is this place?

This isn't the secret laboratory.

When I survived the tragedy,

I resented the person
who ruined the village.

I didn't even think about what happened
to me and the kids in White Night Village.

Just when I thought my life was
falling apart, Oh Jeong-hwan showed up.

He took me in when I had no will to live.

So I decided to be loyal to him
for the rest of my life.

Go on.

Then you showed up.

sh**t me with a tranquilizer g*n,
so Oh Jeong-hwan doesn't suspect anything.

I'm already immune to it,
so it won't work.

Does this mean
I'll be under your watch forever?

No one lives forever.

He's been working for you all his life.
How can you toss him out like this?

I'm not tossing him out.

I'm just retrieving my test subject.

You're retrieving the test subject.
That's great.

You are a pretty important guy.
But it's just the two of us here

in this shady area.

What if something happens to you out here?

Are you worried about me?

That's not it. I just went through
a lot of trouble to get here.

I'd been working my ass off
to find His Excellency,

so I was annoyed.

Right.

So did your troubles pay off?
Did you find His Excellency?

I did.

I'm looking at him…

Your Excellency.

I made a deal with Do Jeong-woo.

You sacrificed all those children
to make this drug?

So you could live forever?

Mom.

You grew into a fine young lady,
my daughter.

Cut the crap and send
Dr. Leighton back right now.

-Jeong-woo!
-Mr. Do, what are you doing?

This sad story can end
only when the two of us are gone.

No. Don't.

That's why you were born.

My…

monster.
