ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Hey, me too!

-Hey! Pass it here!
-Kick it hard!

Over here!

What do you think? Can you solve it?

Yes.

-This is it, right?
-Yes.

Hey, I want to join you.

Sure. Write it down here.

-Here?
-Yes. Go ahead.

Can't you even receive a pass?

Don't play if you can't.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I just…

He just made a mistake while he tried
to score a goal. Don't be so harsh.

Stay out of it.

You little…

Experiments show a rapid development
of intelligence in some children.

The average of standardized IQ
for seven children is .

And four of them have an IQ of .

And the one with the highest IQ is--

The goal of our research isn't
to improve intelligence.

It's to not fear death anymore.

That's just…

a side effect.

Given the abnormalities in cell growth,
that may be not true.

This intelligence development is caused
by abnormal proliferation of brain cells.

If we could create the propagation
of telomere throughout the body,

we can conquer aging,
and by extension, death.

Gosh!

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, are you okay?

Help me unbutton his shirt.

No, don't.

No, don't do that.

-He's breathing. Elevate his head.
-But he'll get a shock…

His brain pressure is rising.
Go get our teacher.

Are you okay?

"Propagation throughout the body."

It would be great
if we could control the speed.

Won't their bodies explode
because they can't withstand the pressure?

Like how their brains burst.

RESEARCHER GONG IL-DO

EXPIRED

We failed again.

Milk helps you sleep.

Tryptophan induces secretion
of serotonin and melatonin.

You couldn't sleep, right?

Right?

That's good.
I've been meaning to ask you something.

You were great this afternoon.

Were you close to him?

I see.

Who taught you emergency first aid?

No one did.

But when number collapsed earlier,

how did you know exactly what to do?

Just a coincidence?

I mean, that is odd.

When someone collapses, people
raise his or her legs to prevent shock.

-No, don't.
-But you didn't.

Why did you stop him from doing that?

His nose was bleeding,
but you just let him be.

It's like you knew that increased
intracranial pressure was the cause.

You're…

very special.

You know that, right?

That you're the most special one here
among these kids.

Yes. That's right.

That's how it should be.

My son.

Where have you been, brother?

I went to the bathroom.

What took you so long? Did you poop?

Sorry. My stomach hurt.

Were you scared?

Let's go back to sleep.

Sleep tight, sweet dreams

Don't be scared.

I'm not scared.

I'll protect you.

I will.

You're finally up.

It drove me crazy
because I couldn't control the bleeding.

Dealing with you is more annoying
than preparing dried anchovies.

You should lie down.

Hey, Yong-sik.

Drink it.

I don't feel well when I drink that.

Okay.

Somehow, I knew how to make people
have lucid dreams.

What are you trying to find?

Mr. Lee, you can't do this.

What's wrong? What happened?

Please stop him.

How am I supposed to work like this?

Ji-uk, what are you doing?
You don't know what's in here.

No. It's here! I know it's here!

What's here?

What on earth is going on?

He's the director
of Seoul Hangang Hospital.

My gosh! What? What just happened?

He just cut his own stomach…

Is this video manipulated?

But Do Jeong-woo was locked up.

If he is the culprit,
isn't it impossible given the time frame?

The culprit doesn't need to be
at the scene for this.

Whether he was detained or not
doesn't matter.

You can get anyone to send videos.

-Then what is it?
-There was no warning letter.

Why is that a problem?

Kim Yeong-jun was his first victim,
so I get that there was no letter.

But as for the rest of the victims,
he always sent me the letters first.

It's as if he wanted
his crimes to be known.

And when there was a victim,
he sent me a video to show off.

The pattern of a warning letter
and the video is broken now.

And that happened
after Do Jeong-woo got caught.

Why is that?

Why did you want to see me?

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

JANG YONG-SIK

Well…

Well,

Jae-ung told me about lucid dreams.

That he knew how to make people
have lucid dreams.

He has no interest in other people.
Why the sudden interest in lucid dreams?

I think he made a friend.

A friend? Who is that friend?

I don't know yet.

Just let Jae-ung do as he's told.

Once he starts finding out about
lucid dreams, it will be a headache.

Keep him in the dark.

Okay.

As for his friend…

Get rid of it.

Well, if I do that,

Jae-ung won't let it go.

I should at least give him an explanation…

What explanation?

b*at him up senselessly, so he even
forgets that he ever had a friend.

At the end of the day,

we are all alone in the world.

Okay.

Make him forget about friends.

Okay.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

So when you were attempting
to catch Jeong-woo,

Kang Yun-seong from Cyber Crimes
tried to k*ll him, so Jeong-woo got away?

Yes.

We cannot locate Kang Yun-seong
at the moment.

In other words, we have no idea
where Jeong-woo went.

Put more people
on Mr. Son's security detail.

You know the higher-ups are
watching this case, right?

If we can't catch him before he tries
to k*ll Son again, we'll be fired.

Okay.

I'm disbanding your team,
so go home and wait.

Sir.

Some guys tried to k*ll Mr. Do
at the hospital.

Hey, Do Jeong-woo is the m*rder*r!
Who are you worried about?

Some people tried to hurt him
in the detention center, too.

There are people after him
at the hospital and at our agency.

I don't know who's doing it or why.

Mr. Do is in danger. That's for sure.

-Shut up.
-Sir.

Get out.

Clear all the rooms
on Mr. Son's floor and tighten security.

Who cares about the hospital policy now?

-You'll have to take me with you!
-Come on, move.

-There's nothing definite yet.
-Exactly!

We don't know the details.

We were just instructed
to clean out your office.

No, you won't take
even a single speck of dust from here.

Sir, put that down!

-Pack everything.
-Come on!

You can't leave with them!

Dr. Leighton.

Salute!

Well, who is this?

You don't know her?

She's an FBI agent
who came to work with us.

You don't know Dr. Leighton?

An FBI agent?

Do they think we're some pushovers?

Dr. Leighton, what can we do to help?

Help whom?

The police?

Or Superintendent Do?

Mr. Do. Obviously.

You're so frustrating.

He's the culprit.

We all saw how
he stabbed Son Min-ho in the neck.

Then why are you trying to help him
when you should be

figuring out how to catch him?

I'm sure he had his reasons.

Does that justify stabbing someone
in the neck with a stick?

And k*lling people?

Let's just believe what we saw. Okay?

I'm sure he didn't mean that.

He's our team leader!

We know him.

We know that he's not a bad person.

That he's not just a stone-cold k*ller.

I'm sure he had his reasons
why he couldn't tell us.

GOPBUNI TRIPE

Please enjoy.

-Let me pour you a drink.
-Sure.

Awesome.

I love cheese.

-Lieutenant Gong, can you eat this stuff?
-I can't get enough of it.

All right. The food is ready.
So let's drink.

-Mr. Do, please say a few words.
-Okay.

Well,

welcome to the Special Investigation Team
and let's work well together!

-Yes.
-Let's do this!

I'd like to propose a toast. Okay.

Special people…

-Get special cases.
-And let's cr*ck them all! Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Okay.

I wish we could do this every day.
Seriously.

Let's try some food.

-It's delicious. Try it.
-It looks delicious.

It's good.

One more serving of grilled tripe, please!

It just came out. Why order another one?

Two servings, please!

You can't trust anyone in this world.

Ji-uk, but you can trust this one.
It's authentic.

I looked into it. And there's no sign
of it being tampered with.

But how could he still be alive?

I guess it's possible.

What the heck is going on?

DIRECTOR LEE IS HOSPITALIZED
DUE TO A CHRONIC ILLNESS

It's a complete lie.

At the moment, the police are assuming
Mr. Do will go after Son Min-ho again,

so all the roads leading
to the hospital are blocked.

Why do you think
he'll go after Son Min-ho again?

That's right. He wouldn't do that.

If he wanted him dead,
Son would be dead by now.

He avoided the carotid artery
when he stabbed Son.

I told you, he's not a k*ller.

He avoided the carotid artery?

If he had gotten the carotid artery
and pulled out the wooden stick,

Son would have lost a lot of blood
and d*ed.

But he didn't do that.

He instilled the fear of death
in Son Min-ho.

Mr. Do was trying to find out something.

But I don't know what he wanted to know.

Then should we drop the Son Min-ho case?

No. I'm going to see him now.

-Are you going to see Son Min-ho?
-You said you wouldn't go.

I said he wouldn't go,
but I never said we wouldn't go see him.

I'll go ask him

what Superintendent Do wanted to find out.

"We"?

I must be really stupid.

It's good that you know. Come with me.

Gosh, you startled me.
What are you looking at?

Did you really k*ll them?

You sell dr*gs to buy a supercar.

It's not the same.

I don't think I can k*ll people.

Even if your grandma dies?

Why would you say that?

My grandma will live forever.

Right. I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.

What? What's wrong with you?

I knew it from the start.

I saw darkness in your eyes.

You're awake.

What a nice pair. A man who almost d*ed
and a man who's about to die.

A man who almost d*ed?

Then I'm about to die?

Why would I die soon?

I heard a lot of people
are waiting to k*ll you.

Don't sell it on someone else's turf.

I'd love to, but I'm a little short of
money for my grandma's surgery.

My gosh. You're asking to get k*lled.

He sells more than
two or three guys' quota.

Let me see.

I handled it,
but to be honest, I'm not confident.

I don't know
if I stopped all the bleeding.

I think the Kn*fe hit an organ.

Yes, it's kind of iffy.

Gosh. "Iffy"?

Can you feel your organs?

I think I can move in about three
to four hours. Good job.

Then do you know when you'll die?

When is that b*mb in your brain
going to explode?

Give me some candy.

Hey, in that drawer,
there are a lot of lollipops.

Bring them to me.

These aren't just lollipops?

No. These are only for adults.

This is a good thing. You should take this
opportunity to quit your dangerous job.

Marry a researcher from your dad's lab
who is only interested in studying,

have adorable babies,
and live happily ever after.

Be quiet for a second.

What?

That's not important, Mom.

Doesn't Dad's lab study cells
or something?

Here's what's important.

If you're not leaving home to work,
you have to clean at least.

Mom.

There used to be a village
called White Night Village.

I think the research from the village
could be similar to what Dad does.

Cell-related experiments and stuff.

Do you think he'd know anyone?

Ridiculous. Hey.

Listen. Your dad wouldn't notice anything
other than his work

even if the person next to him d*ed.

I doubt he knows anyone.

The former superintendent
Do Jeong-woo, who k*lled five people,

suddenly collapsed while he was
being transferred to the prosecution…

I told you not to watch this.

It's shocking to learn
that he escaped from the hospital.

Any news of Do Jeong-woo's whereabouts?

No, not yet.

Where the hell is he? What is he doing?

I wonder if he's even alive.

What about Mr. Son?

Except for the room Mr. Son is in,
all the rooms are empty.

I've reinforced the security.

Keep an eye on him. We don't know
when Jeong-woo might show up again.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Yes, I'll be right there.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to see the commissioner.
Call me if anything happens.

Okay.

Security is tight.
Do you think we can see him?

It's no wonder Superintendent Do
thought about k*lling four men for it.

Oh, was it five?

Hello.

Here you go.

We received a theft report
from the ward today.

I'd like to check the security
camera footage, so please cooperate.

Just a moment, please.

-Hello?
-Where are you?

I'm at home.

So you've been home all day?

Oh, right.

No, that's not right. I…

I worked for a bit and came home.

Is Lieutenant Yoon with you?

Now that you became a cop
and have a stable job,

you can't see
how serious this situation is?

LEE TAEK-JO

You think you're cool
for being loyal, right?

So you have no idea how long you're going
to regret ruining your life, do you?

In the end, you have
to take care of your own lives.

Stop whatever you're doing right now.

What's up? Shouldn't you get ready?

Okay.

"Nurse"?

I think they got switched.

Say hello to him. You know him, right?

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan
at the Blue House.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Deputy Commissioner
Hwang Byeong-cheol.

Nice to meet you.

I heard from the commissioner
that you're very competent.

You're too kind.

It's good to meet you in person.

Have a seat.

Yes.

I heard you're Superintendent
Do Jeong-woo's direct supervisor.

Yes.

You must be tired
because he's in the limelight these days.

I'm sorry.

I should have figured it out sooner
and prevented it from blowing up.

You still don't know
where Superintendent Do is, do you?

No, nothing has been confirmed yet.

We'll do our best to arrest him
as soon as possible.

I'm sorry to have worried you.

I was right.

Why is the chief secretary
at the Blue House concerned about him?

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Yes. There's only one pair
of doctors and nurses

who have access to the room per shift.

I'll hack into the system and change
the photos of doctors and nurses

to yours and Lieutenant Jang's.

Why won't it change?

Damn it.

Why won't it change?

Please wait.

This is driving me crazy.

There's no time.

Let's go.

This should've worked
and changed the photos.

Hold on.

YOON SU-GYEONG, JUNG IL-GEON

Come on.

Done.

Okay. You can go in now.

If you don't want to vacuum,
wash the dishes…

Where did she go?

The last deceased slit their throat
in a mental hospital.

Hospitals are bound
to protect patient privacy.

You can't access the medical records
without a warrant.

I can't even give names of doctors.

I'm sorry.

Have a good day.

There's nothing I can do.

TEAM LEADER DO JEONG-WOO
SIR?

Excuse me.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

What?

Gotcha.

You know, if someone kills my grandmother,
do I have to k*ll that person?

In a way, I think I can do it.

But in a way, I'm afraid of that, too.

I don't think I can do it.

I just want my grandmother
to live with me for a long time.

Can't I think that way?

Yes, she will.

Don't sell too many dr*gs.
You're the only one who can protect her.

Worry about yourself.

I'll take care of myself.

Why aren't you stopping him?

He hasn't fully recovered yet.

I thought he was terminally ill.

He's leaving because he's okay.

I don't know when he'll crawl back in.

I don't know what he's thinking, let alone
what he's doing, so don't get attached.

You already seem attached to him.

When adults tell you to eat, just eat.
How long will you refuse to eat?

If you want to die, die on the street.

Look at that. You're scowling.

You are as thin as a stick,
but you seem ready to fight me.

Didn't your parents teach you to look down
politely when you look at adults?

This is why people say
that upbringing is important.

No one ever told me that.

Isn't it obvious I'm an orphan?

Didn't your parents teach you
that you can't ask such things to orphans?

What… What did you say?

If I had parents, why would I be starving?

Don't sound me out.
Just ask me if my parents abandoned me.

You brat.

Do you think it's cool to talk down
to someone when you feel sorry for him?

You're mistaken.

My goodness.

I was never abandoned.

I never had parents to begin with.

Why do people from here

assume that children would have parents
by default?

Because it's only natural.

Unless you broke out of a shell,
you must have parents.

And even a mom laid that egg.

So what?

You got no respect
because you don't have parents?

What determines who gets it?

Age? Intellect?

Gosh, this punk.

You are fascinating.

So you'll show no respect
and won't eat ramyeon?

-I don't know.
-What? I can't hear you.

I don't know how to eat this.

I've never seen anything like it.

You've never seen ramyeon before?

And this, too.

So you shouldn't get attached.

Did he really k*ll them?

Is he really going to die?

When a high dosage of fever reducer is
injected directly into the blood vessels,

it stops the heart in ten minutes.

At least within five minutes,
an antagonist must be injected.

What did Superintendent Do want to know?

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

The foundation.

Who cares?

Be it now or later.

Shouldn't you try to save yourself
first at this very moment?

Will knowing that
I'm also from White Night Village

help you answer my question?

Five minutes is a very short time.

I'll ask again.

What did Superintendent Do want to know?

On the day Kim Seon-ok d*ed,

he was here?

He said he was a cop.

My gosh, he had quite a temper.

Hey, who are you?

Check the security cameras
to find out where she is.

Call me when you find her.

Don't just stand there. Hurry.

Okay.

-Cho, come here.
-Why?

Come here.

He's a caretaker
who's worked here for a long time.

I'm sure he knows about the patient.

Three kids destroyed the village.

They were special kids at the lab, too.

They were always together.

How could the kids do that?

I don't know.

It was very similar to this serial m*rder.

Everyone acted strangely.

They did what could k*ll them,
and they did die.

That's how I knew they were back.

They weren't
on the survivors' list at the time,

so everyone thought they were dead.

Weren't you scared?
That they'd come looking for you?

Why do you think I had
that many bodyguards around me

and lived in that fortress of a house?

Give me the antagonist now.

To sum it all up, human experimentation
is still going on somewhere.

The key members remain the same.

So this is what Superintendent Do
found out, right?

And Superintendent Do was
one of the three children back then.

I want the antagonist…

Oh, no. Dr. Leighton. What should we do?

No matter how high the dosage
of fever reducer is,

it can't stop people's hearts.

I injected him
with sleep inducers earlier.

Well, it does have the effect
of making people tell the truth.

Let's go.

She was crazy.

She said she would be taken
and was being pursued.

She said she'd rather die
than get taken, so that's how it happened.

That's right.

She kept running away and hiding.
So even I had to look for her.

She said she'd rather die than go back.

She'd rather die than go back?

I don't know what she was talking about.

My gosh. She seemed scared.

You know, there's this wild cat.

She didn't act normal.
She was scared and angry.

She was like that animal.

She must've been so sick
to do something so horrible.

Blood was everywhere. What a mess…

But the strange thing is, the police
didn't come even after this mess.

It's because it was su1c1de.

No, I reported it to the police.

But she climbed up the wall
and everywhere.

-She really did.
-Come on.

PERSONAL SURVEY
OH JEONG-HWAN

CHIEF SECRETARY AT THE BLUE HOUSE

TEAM LEADER DO JEONG-WOO
SIR?

ATTENTION-SEEKER LEE JI-UK

Do you have to write that kind of article?

Calm down. Come and sit down.

LEE JI-UK'S
ZOOM IN ON CURRENT EVENTS

What is it?

Watch this.

-What about it?
-I'm sure Jeong-woo was after Son Min-ho.

Nam Woo-cheon was in the video I received,
not Son Min-ho.

And…

What is this?

Another forewarned m*rder.

Your team leader is under arrest.
Yet this still came.

Without a warning letter.

I don't think the same guy sent
the letter and the video.

If it were the same guy,
you'd either get both or none.

If Mr. Do was one of them,

it makes sense that he sent the letters,
since he couldn't send them this time.

Then who sent the video?

I'm not sure.

What are you doing?

Hey, Yong-sik.

It's nothing.

I told you, you just have to do as I say.

I was just checking it out.

Shut up!

Everything I'm about to tell you
is off the record.

What?

If I can't write about it,
it won't mean anything to me.

You'll get to write about it later on.

Just trust me on this.

Human experimentation was conducted
in White Night Village.

I think their test subjects
were children under ten.

What…

I knew something shady was
going on in White Night Village,

but human experimentation?

Gosh, they were smart.

They used kids as their guinea pigs
pretending to be a charity?

What do you think it was for?

To develop a new drug? Son made
a fortune selling health supplements.

The pharmaceutical lab was on the island.

I thought they were doing experiments
related to the production of supplements.

But no one's ever said that.

What did they really do?

If it's still not over,

what are they trying to achieve?

Damn it.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I don't know anything.

Son Min-ho said you're a key member
of the Baegya Foundation.

Am I wrong?

I got involved with the foundation
because of my wife.

My late father-in-law was one of
the founding directors of the foundation.

Of course, my father-in-law was
Lt. General Yoo Gwon, not His Excellency.

Family can be a funny thing.

Well, I'm not thrilled
with how things turned out.

But come to think of it, pursuing
the foundation's interests won't harm me.

But still. When I heard Mr. Son
mentioned my name, I did get worried.

What do you want?

I don't like to fight.

I'll tell you anything you want as long
as you promise to leave my house.

-Just like that?
-How hard can it be?

"Use your enemy's enemy
to fight your enemy."

If you keep snooping around like
you're doing now, I'll get more ground.

My safety is more
important than anything else.

Okay.

I like that you're loyal.

Where is His Excellency now?

I'm not sure.

I know that he's still going strong
and making all the decisions

for the foundation at the age of .

But I don't know where he is.

Someone that can directly meet him now…

Oh, right.

I thought you knew him, too.

So…

you used the formula I created
to make the drug.

That's how the wrong person
ended up with power.

Science truly amazes me

when I think about how powerful
those small pills can be.

Then do you know
where the secret laboratory is?

I don't know that, either.
There's no reason for me to go there.

You should ask him yourself.

-What is this?
-I know you're off duty. Where were you?

Why don't you go to your dad's lab?

At this hour? Why?

Seriously.
Both of you can be so inattentive.

He hasn't been home for days.

I doubt he has spare clothes.
He'll smell like an old man.

He still works this late?

Yes, and he always will.

I wonder if he has any spare clothes.

What?

Do you like Dad that much?

You rarely get to see him.
Why take such good care of him?

Do you think he's family
because I like him?

He's family because he just is.

Okay. I'll be back.

Yes.

Three kids destroyed the village.

They were special kids at the lab, too.

They were always together.

Three children were always together.

What's wrong?

Can we help Mr. Do now?

Son Min-ho said three kids were omitted
from the list of the children

who survived the tragedy in the village.
I'm sure I'm one of them.

Superintendent Do is another one.

We need to find the last one.

Why, all of a sudden?

He said one of the three kids used
the same method that caused the tragedy

in White Night Village years ago
to k*ll these victims now.

If two of the three kids survived,
and Superintendent Do and I didn't do it,

the third child is probably the culprit.

Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

Have you forgotten what will happen
if you talk to others?

You haven't been beaten enough.

That girl at the convenience store
d*ed because of you.

Because you bring bad luck.

Because you bring bad luck, you jerk!

Do Jeong-woo will show up
at the Baegya Laboratory soon.

Yes, sir.

Hello. I'm Director Gong Il-do's daughter.

I brought some clothes and snacks for him.

I see. You're his daughter.

You can leave your ID and go in.

Here you go.

Thank you.

If you love your daughter,
why don't we cut to the chase?

What do you want?

The secret lab where experiments
are still conducted

and Ji Hyeong-geun's location.

So you applied my formula
to His Excellency.

So he's still very healthy
when he's over years old.

But I have no idea
where he is or what he's doing.

What are you planning to do?

If something's not right,
I must set it right.

I have the power to do so.

Do you think Hye-won will
forgive you if you k*ll me?

I don't want her forgiveness.

How do you think your daughter will feel
when she finds out I k*lled you?

In the end, your daughter will suffer.

What would happen to the world if only

before even meeting you.

You look so sad.

I'm sure the third child also
has special abilities.

Did they finally find out?
