ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Is it finally coming to an end?

The first one is blank.

You know what's next, right?

The first one is blank.

I can't guarantee what happens next.

Don't move.

Stand back.

Mr. Do.

Stay with me.

Please wake up. Mr. Do.

It's all right. Keep going.

Mr. Do, wake up.

Mr. Do, please wake up.

Mr. Do! Come on. Wake up!

Are you open?

Hello.

What do you want?

Kimchi stew, please.

-You startled me.
-Dr. Min.

What? What's going on?

What? Superintendent Do!

What's going on?

Something was injected into his neck,

but I don't know what it was.

What are all these scratches?

Mr. Do's car got hit by a truck.

Superintendent Do!

Can you hear me, Superintendent Do?

-Did it hit his head?
-I don't know.

But he was fine until he got injected
with the syringe.

He has no major exposed injuries.
I'll have to run some tests,

but it's probably an anesthetic.

Wait.

Hello.

Let me see.

What should I get…

Don't worry too much.

I didn't find anything alarming from
the tests and the trauma is not severe.

He'll be fine after some sleep.

You should get some rest too.

I'll go upstairs and get some more stuff.

There's been a problem.

I think Do Jeong-woo followed us.

I've been informed.

It was a good chance
to catch Do Jeong-woo.

That dumbass.

It's a good thing that
you tightened the security for me.

I was told that your daughter took him.

What?

How could she?

She must have followed you.

So this is what it has become.

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

Now that it's come to this,
we should tighten our security, right?

For the time being, I will conduct
experiments with these test subjects.

Yes, we must.

We don't know
when Do Jeong-woo will come back.

I don't think we can dispose of the waste
the way we used to.

I agree. Please think about it
and let me know.

My gosh. I can't believe we ran into
each other here out of all places.

Let's drink.

I don't drink in broad daylight.

Oh, my. Don't you know
alcohol gives more energy than rice?

How did you know I was here?

Lieutenant Gong Hye-won came to see me.

You know the laptop you found
in Jangyi-dong?

She brought me the data that was inside.

That laptop was locked with fingerprints.
How did she--

You see,

she could get in with her fingerprints.

Interesting, right?

Guess what's more interesting.

Lieutenant Gong's father, Dr. Gong Il-do,
has ties to White Night Village.

Her father?

It was Do Jeong-woo.

It can't be a coincidence
that she ended up on his team.

That's possible.

Aren't you going to work?

I was getting to that.

Ma'am! Have you lived here long?

Why do you want to know?

Actually, I'm a reporter.

I came all the way to this rural village
to make some money with a big scoop.

Come sit for a second.

How could there possibly be
a scoop in a place like this?

My gosh. Of course there is.

It's been almost years,

but I heard an entire family from here
d*ed or something.

Even so. Why did you bring them here?

We all thought they ran away from home.

They put sodium hydroxide in the water.
We didn't do anything wrong.

I don't know where they went after that.

When I woke up,
people told me they were already gone.

I can't believe the person I asked
happened to be the victim of that case.

How interesting.

We've come to the right place.

I bet it's the third child.

This is worse than I thought.

He did pass through
this village after all.

Let's dig a bit more.

COP ARRESTS SERIAL ROBBERY m*rder*r
AND RECEIVES MERITS

DIPLOMA
NAME: DO JEONG-WOO

I'll make both of you feel the pain
for abandoning me.

Don't go!

Don't leave me alone!

Don't go!

He might even try to k*ll me now.

What is this about?

Why call a washed-up has-been like me?

I know the real culprit
of the forewarned murders.

I thought Do Jeong-woo was the culprit.

No, sir.

It's the third child
who survived the tragedy

with Do Jeong-woo and Jamie Leighton.

It's Moon Jae-ung.

What?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

So you knew all along
when the other foundation directors,

along with Nam Woo-cheon, were dying?

I had no choice.

He would've k*lled me
if I hadn't done what he told me.

You know very well
that they're not ordinary.

So what?

Why are you telling me this now?

Eventually…

he will get to you, too.

I'll keep an eye on him
and tell you what he'll do next.

What do you want?

Please guarantee my safety.

Did you…

tell anyone about this?

No.

Then it'll stay between us.

I'll be in touch.

I'm going to check if you're all healthy.

Is this a hospital?

Hush.

Why? Are you scared?

Should I start with the other kids?

No. I can go first.

Okay.

What is that?

Will it hurt?

It doesn't hurt.

With this, I can check
if your brain is working well.

-I'm just checking.
-No. I don't want to do this!

-I won't do it!
-No!

It's okay.

RESEARCHER CHO HYEON-HUI

There's no need to be scared.

You'll be okay.

There's no need to be scared.

You're up.

Are you okay, Mr. Do?

Yes.

-What about you?
-I'm fine.

You're awake.

It was Zoletil.

It's usually used to anesthetize animals,
but a high dosage can be dangerous.

But you seem perfectly fine.

Yes, I must have slept well.
It's actually refreshing.

I think I'll be able to move
after some rest.

Get some rest, Mr. Do.

I'll go buy some food.

Right. The anesthesia hasn't completely
worn off yet, so lie down.

Yes, Mr. Hwang. Thank you.

Don't come closer.

Don't come any closer.

Don't come near me.

Dad. That bastard is staring at me again.

Don't come closer.

Well, you have a visitor, sir.

As you know, only three children survived
the White Night Village tragedy.

One of them is Do Jeong-woo.

I don't know who the other one is.

And the last one is Jamie Leighton.

Coincidentally, to find the culprit
of these murders,

I called her here.

You brought in a kid who survived
the White Night Village tragedy?

I only found out recently.

She told me herself.

All she knows is that
she's from White Night Village.

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

Anyway, you must watch out for them.

Sooner or later,
they'll be a thr*at to the foundation.

If you knew that so well,
why did you let this happen?

You gave Do Jeong-woo
the information too easily.

You shouldn't have said anything at all.

Does His Excellency know about this?

Do Jeong-woo is after

His Excellency.

I'll take care of it. You should leave.

What will you do if I bring back the kids

that survived?

If you could do that,
we would welcome you back.

Ever since the tragedy, I have been
completely ostracized by the foundation.

I've always held my breath in fear that
somebody might try to k*ll me.

When I get the kids, I want you to put me
on the board of the foundation.

If you can do that,
you can name anything you want.

Stay away!

Is there something wrong with your son?

According to the data, White Night
Village was on an isolated island.

They picked that island on purpose,

so whatever they were doing inside
wouldn't be exposed.

An island in the middle of the ocean.

Those who were used as test subjects
couldn't have dared to run away.

On the Day of Tragedy,

how did the three kids including myself
escape that place?

I'm not sure.

You're one of them.

Maybe you'll remember something
once we get there.

Contact Mr. Jang, the CEO of Modu,
the web portal.

He helped many people at the foundation
who had similar mental anguish.

Hello, Mr. Oh.

Hello, sir.

I have something to discuss with you.

Are you available tomorrow?

I'll tell you more in person.

Yes, sir.

Okay. I'll be in touch.

He said he had something
to discuss with me.

I have to do something,
so I'll step out for a second.

Get some rest.

It was the right thing.

What? What do you mean?

They should be here by now, right?

You called Mr. Hwang, right?

-No, I am…
-It's okay. I understand.

That's what I would've done.

Turn yourself in.
How much longer will you stay on the run?

What do we do, Mr. Do?
Shouldn't we leave right now?

No, wait. Cops won't be coming here.

What is this? Why are you…

Stay there just until the police get here.

Superintendent Do.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

I'm sorry. They lost him.

I heard.

Anyway, I'll keep
counting on you to help us.

Okay.

Don't you want a promotion?

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

But why didn't you want
the police to intervene…

You don't need to worry about that.

-Please keep me in the loop.
-Yes, sir.

When will you actually catch him?

I'm sorry.

Dr. Gong will contact you.

Do as he says.

Yes, sir.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, I'll be fine
once the drug wears off a bit more.

I didn't expect her to do that.

She's a civil servant.
She must look out for her job.

She would've been in trouble
if she didn't report it.

There's one more civil servant
who wants to get in trouble.

We don't go near that place
because it's bad luck.

I'm only going because you're looking
for your childhood memories.

It's already getting dark,
so let's meet here early tomorrow morning.

Thank you, sir.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

My gosh. I'm glad at least
one person is willing to bring us there.

Now, I guess we'll have
to find a place to stay for the night.

I'm not sure.

Do you think there are any lodgings
good enough for you in such a rural area?

I may not look like it,
but I used to be an FBI agent.

The laptop.

It was you, right?

You registered my fingerprints
on the laptop, right?

White Night Village, my dad,

and you.

Tell me about the horrible incident
that happened there.

Won't the truth be revealed soon?

Take me with you.

Do you know what you're saying?

I know.

It could be a lot harder than you think.

And you don't have to do it yourself.

No, I have to do it.

I don't think it's a bad idea for you
to forget all of this and move on.

However…

"Even so."

If that crosses your mind,

come to me, then.

What?

What's up, Ms. FBI?

What's that?

Why do you ask?

You can't sleep unless it's your house?

I can't sleep unless it's my bed.

Having mysophobia is
such an inconvenience.

That's why it's an illness.

By the way, are you sure
they also experimented on you, too?

I have OCD, mysophobia, paranoia,
and a messed-up brain.

Of course they did.

Well, that's not what I meant.

You just seem like one of us.

But Do Jeong-woo was different.

Hello.

RESTRICTED NUMBER

PLATE NUMBER: SEOUL B
CHECK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY BURN

SEOUL B

-It was nice to see you today.
-Yes.

-Take care.
-Take care.

-See you next time.
-See you later.

-Yes.
-Bye.

Let's see her off.

-I had such a great time.
-It was fun.

Drive me home.

Who are you?

It won't work.

An open door while driving
is dangerous for kids,

so cars have safety measures.

But it turns out you took the kids
and did an awful thing to them.

You k*lled my son, didn't you?

Lee Tae-su?

No.

But do you only care about your son?

Where did you send kids
from Seoul Hangang Welfare Center?

-I don't know.
-Is that so?

Okay, then.

What are you doing?

Stop the car! I told you to stop!

It's… Oh Jeong-hwan…

Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan
ordered everything.

I just sent the kids
as Oh Jeong-hwan told me to.

I don't know where they went
or what he's doing with those kids.

"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.

LODGING

We can't go today
because it's raining too much.

We'll see tomorrow.

Wait.

What now?

What can we do?

Let's stay one more night
and see what happens tomorrow.

My gosh. What a nasty day.

Did God get mad for digging up
what happened years ago?

We can't just leave by ourselves.

We can't take the others with us.

That will get all of us k*lled.

But I can't just leave them here!

You're a monster.

A monster! You're a monster!

-Are you okay?
-"Monster."

Hey. How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

If you're hiding something good,
give me some.

Let me eat some, too.

Gosh, the things you say.

Where have you been?

I just met Director Lee Byeong-seon's
wife again.

-What did she say?
-You know Chief Secretary Oh Jeong-hwan?

I think he's a key member
of Baegya Foundation.

Yes.

What?

Okay.

-What is it? Is something wrong?
-The drug dealer, Hyeon-su.

He's dead.

Yes. It's him.

It is Hyeon-su.

He was beaten to death
with a blunt w*apon like a rock.

Poor bastard.

He only pretended that
he was going to buy a supercar.

But he was trying to pay for his grandma's
surgery with the drug money.

He could've used the money from you
for his grandma's surgery. Why now?

The world is so unfair.

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

I told him to be careful. Damn it.

He only left his cell phone.

CALLS

assh*le CUSTOMER, OH GYEONG-MIN

You have a tough job.

Guiding public opinion can be a challenge.

I don't even want to think about
what shape we'd be in without Modu.

This is all thanks to your help, sir.

May I ask why you wanted to see me today?

I heard that you helped the foundation
members get rid of their stress.

That's right.

I've also been under a lot of stress
while running a company.

I met a therapist
to help get rid of stress.

It worked very well.

So I introduced him
to the foundation members.

I'm sure you're under a lot of pressure
running this country as well.

Oh, it's not for me.

It's embarrassing to admit it,
but it's for my son.

I'd like to ask the therapist
to help my son.

It'll be easier than I thought.

What do you mean?

So Moon Jae-ung did send
Reporter Lee Ji-uk the videos.

-But he never sent any warning letters?
-Of course not.

Why would he do something
you didn't order him to do?

Who do you think sent the letters?

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

It was him, Do Jeong-woo.

Now, let's go fishing.

Fishing?

We're going to catch Do Jeong-woo.

Unidentified m*llitary personnel…

Are you sure you don't want
to see a doctor?

Sometimes memories just
randomly pop into my head.

And then I get really dizzy.
It's like an aftereffect.

Is it some kind of trauma?

So what did you remember
that made you almost pass out just now?

What do you mean by "monster"?

It's the memory that's been haunting me
since I was a kid.

On the Day of Tragedy,

I ran away from the monster.

That curiosity made me come
all the way here.

So do you remember who the monster was?

It's clearer now.

A monster! You're a monster!

That's tough.

I can understand what you meant
by a messed-up brain.

At first, I thought this was some show
a smart, attention-seeking psycho put on.

I was like, "This world's gone crazy
and so have people."

What kind of lunatic would send out
a warning letter,

telling me he was going to k*ll people?

It came in anyway,
so I had nothing to lose.

I thought if I'm lucky,
I'd make a name for myself.

What a simple reason.

But now, I really want to know
who the real culprit is.

He didn't shed a drop
of blood with his hands.

What if the serial k*ller who didn't
even show up at the scene

turns out to be the third boy who survived
the tragedy at White Night Village?

And what if that's why he's getting
revenge on Baegya Foundation

for using him as a guinea pig?

My gosh.

What a hell of a story.

I wondered why Superintendent Do
sent you the letters.

I can see why now.

Do Jeong-woo.

Well, both Do Jeong-woo and that jerk
are something else.

Anyway, since I've come this far,
I must see it through.

I can't wait to see how it'll end as well.

Mom, what did you like about Dad?

What's going on?

All he cares about is his research.

Isn't he pretty lousy for a husband?

I never thought about that
when I married him.

I just thought that the world
needed someone like him.

I guess…

What is it?

What's going on with you and your dad?

Are you mad that
he asked you to quit your job?

No. That's not it.

You can do whatever you want.

Well, don't mind me.

I have my own opinions,
but it is your life.

I don't want you to be a cop, either.

It's best to live
a quiet, unnoticeable life.

But if you still want to do it, do it.
It's your life. What can I do?

I've raised you to know
what you want in life.

Do whatever you want.

Really?

Yes.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

Gong. Don't be so dramatic.
Please let's think about this together.

We're all suffering.

Hey, why are you doing this?

Is it because of Mr. Do?

I'm doing whatever I can.

So you

and Lieutenant Yoon should do
what you can here.

I'll let you know if I need any help.

Send this to my house.

-Thanks.
-Hey, Gong.

I'll see you.

-What are you doing?
-I'm sorry.

I'll take responsibility for my decision.

Don't tell me you're going
to help Do Jeong-woo.

You must be feeling
very righteous right now.

But you'll soon find out the reality--

I'm doing it because I know my reality.

My trust in the organization is gone.

Being a cop…

is not something I'm proud of anymore.

Thank you for everything.

What will you do?

GONG HYE-WON
RESIGNATION LETTER

I don't know.

It's raining so hard.

Did he say no again?

What can we do? The captain says he can't.

Let's give it one more day.

LODGING

Who the hell is that?

Hello. I've heard a lot about you.

Nice to meet you.

Where is your son?

Thank you for your help.

I'll do my best.

I heard what happened. I'll help you.

Give me your hand.

From now on,

you can never take it off.

That's where it all starts.

You can do whatever you want now.

We meet again.

I got some rest
thanks to the sh*t you gave me.

What do you know?

DAD, I'M AT THE LAB
CAN WE TALK?

What are you doing here at this hour?

Dad.

What did you do in White Night Village?

What are you talking about?

The things you did years ago.

And maybe
the things you're doing even now.

Tell the truth
and face the punishment if necessary.

You're so young, my daughter.

I didn't do anything
I should be punished for.

I know you led the experiments
on the children.

More than children were raised
in White Night Village.

There were only kids
at the time of the tragedy.

What happened to over children?

You still think you did nothing wrong?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Dad.

You're still young.

It's fine if you don't understand.

Dad, please.

Listen.
How many times do I have to tell you?

You don't know anything.

In my line of work, I am
to repeat experiments and failures…

No. There's no such thing.

Sacrifices are necessary
for successful experiments.

What about the victims?
What about the kids?

Nothing can be achieved
without sacrifices.

Dad.

This is why
Do Jeong-woo put you on the team.

This is why he made you
find out everything.

You really don't know what's important.

I'm not talking about Mr. Do.

It's about you, Dad.

Dad, you're better than this.

Whatever you saw, he's fooling you.

Wake up.

Sacrifices are necessary
for successful experiments.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Nothing can be achieved
without sacrifices.

Are the kids the test subjects?

It's not just them.
The experiment hasn't stopped.

Like what they did in White Night Village?

Don't you remember the kids
who had a nosebleed and fainted?

Those of us who survived
have a problem in our brains.

And innocent children keep dying.

We have to stop that.

That day, I was following a car
full of kids who would be test subjects.

Thanks to you, I lost them that day.

Do you know

where the secret lab is?

No.

I didn't even know
that it was still going on.

I just do what I'm told.

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

and turn away from the truth?

Someone has to stop them.

Damn it. Make some noise, will you?

Should I come here singing
when I'm here to sell dr*gs?

What?

What are you looking at?

Treating a lowlife like you
as a human being was the problem.

It wasn't an accident.

I k*lled you because I can.

Die!

Are you okay?

Did you recognize
where your dream was taking place?

Yes.

The rooftop of the Seoyeong Industrial
Complex in Yeonsi-dong.

Dreams happen in places
related to one's memory.

Something happened there, right?

No… No.

But…

is it necessary to hang myself at the end?

I'm scared.

If you keep doing it,
you won't get scared.

Lucid dreaming stimulates the brain.

Your brain won't respond
unless you're in extreme situations.

Security at
Oh Jeong-hwan's house is tight.

It won't be easy getting to him.

He's the chief secretary
of the Blue House after all.

Of course security is tight.

Even m*llitary personnel were mobilized.

I know he's powerful, but isn't it odd
for the m*llitary to be mobilized?

-It is.
-We'll have to find another way.

Okay.

My goodness.

What? What is this?

What is it?

There's no sender.

Is it a tip-off?

What is this?

-What is it?
-Ji-uk, where are you?

I'm on a story. What?

Gosh, no way. Do you know
what just arrived at the office?

What did you get? Just tell me.

A new warning letter.

A warning letter?

Are you sure?

SUNJEONG LP

What is this?

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

I'm at the dock here
to enter White Night Village.

Do you remember
the forewarned m*rder case?

After the incident
that involved Son Min-ho,

the former head of White Night Village,

we haven't been able to follow up due to
the guidelines provided by the police.

A new warning letter has arrived
after a month.

A new warning letter?

"On the day the Red Dog
rides the White Dragon,

the arrogant coward
will be Tarot's th star."

My gosh. Another warning letter?

How many has it been already?

Superintendent Do Jeong-woo,
who was found to be the culprit,

became the talk of the town,
and he is still at large.

-Is your team leader still at large?
-What does this warning letter mean?

I wonder who the victim is this time
and how the victim will be m*rder*d.

Again, the police must respond quickly
to this warning letter.

THE ARROGANT COWARD
WILL BE TAROT'S TH STAR

Do Jeong-woo was looking for
this lab and His Excellency.

Do Jeong-woo.

That's not the name I gave him.

Do you know him well?

I think there's a way
to get to Oh Jeong-hwan.

We must find them fast.

He's planning to use Oh Gyeong-min
to trap Do Jeong-woo.

Goodbye.

They're practically
setting everything up for me.

I wanted to run away from here so badly,
but I came back of my own accord.

Does this jog your memory?

The third child.

It's been a while.
