Cease fire.

How did you get here?

You should've called before you came. You surprised me.

Be quiet.

What is it?

What happened?

He went up that way.

What are you talking about?

The target climbed the tree and went up there.

What are you doing? Go after the target!

Episode 4

First Lieutenant Lee, Sergeant First Class Park return to base.

Standby.

Did you find anything out?

We looked for his traces all over, but we couldn't even find blood.

He didn't leave a trace and disappeared like smoke.

This situation is incomprehensible.

Sir, we came in too far.

Let's withdraw, and...

What are you talking about? You want to withdraw already?

The North Korean DMZ Team can come down to our current location.

Sector 21 is near here.

Let's get to a safe area

and return after we contact headquarters.

Okay.

We'll move to Sector 21 and reorganize there.

Military Working Dog Handler.

Move forward.

Sir.

I will collect some samples for a moment.

Let's move.

Okay.

Sir.

I've secured the perimeters.

First Lieutenant Lee, Sergeant First Class Park,

and Staff Sergeant Ju stand guard.

The rest of you can take a break.

Yes, sir.

I'm First Lieutenant Son Ye-rim

from KCST 24th Special Mission Battalion.

What happened to you earlier?

Why did you go alone?

I'm sorry. I got lost,

- but my walkie-talkie didn't work. - Stay alert.

Will you take responsibility if one of our members die because of you?

To be honest, it's not like I did that on purpose.

I did my best to contact you.

Are you talking back to me?

Sergeant Yong. That's enough.

I'm not talking back to you.

I'm explaining that the situation was inevitable.

You punk.

Sergeant Yong.

Sergeant Yong Dong-jin.

If you leave formation again, you'll be punished by Military Law.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

The handler will stand guard around the abandoned building.

Let's go.

I went through so much trouble earlier.

Forget it. Let's go.

Sir, we're unable to communicate.

I'll try to fix it right away.

Sir, I have a suggestion.

What is it?

There's a way we can subdue the target.

Tell me.

I don't know if this will work,

but what if we lead him towards the water?

Water?

He has symptoms of rabies, so he may be afraid of water.

Are you saying that the target is infected with rabies?

Yes, sir.

How are you so sure?

I'm sure you'll receive a report,

but according to the material I found yesterday,

the target was infected by the rabies virus...

Sir, I think we should ask for backup.

- Sergeant First Class Park. - Yes, sir.

If you're afraid, sit on the sidelines.

You know that's not what I mean.

Sir, I agree with Sergeant First Class Park.

The target is faster than we thought.

We're going to go after the target again, lure him towards the valley,

and shoot to kill.

- Staff Sergeant Ju. - Yes, sir.

Pick up the monitor and find the location.

Yes, sir.

Sir. Someone must lure him towards the water.

I will do it.

It seems the target has been coming after me,

so I think it would be best if I did it.

Mac and I will lure him.

Okay.

Then the military working dog and her handler will lure the target.

Yes, sir.

I will make sure to catch you today.

Hurry up and come out, so I can catch you and get discharged.

Mac. Come here. Go back to the Special Missions Group now.

Hurry up and go.

Sir. I'm getting closer.

Sir.

Darn it.

Sergeant Yong.

Sergeant Yong.

I think he's outside the communication range.

Fire!

Cease fire.

Gather around.

Sir.

I think we should tell them about the target now.

Return the firearm and gather in the situation room.

Do you understand?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

And First Lieutenant Son.

Yes, sir.

Don't speak before I speak.

And don't move before I give you my answer.

Am I understood?

Yes, sir.

You heard him. Dismissed.

This is the footage of the CCTV at the morgue of the KCST Command.

Corporal Oh Jin-taek, who died in the DMZ,

woke up, mutated.

Mutated Corporal Oh was very agile

and strong.

And it wasn't easy to overpower him with firearms.

During the 329 GP incident, the target attacked Corporal Oh.

And the way their cell mutation progressed turned out to be the same.

Does that mean the target was also mutated?

There's a possibility.

Can we kill it?

If we manage to cut its medulla oblongata, yes.

But the problem is that the target is very fast.

Then

if we immobilize it and fire a couple of shots

at the back of its head,

can we remove it?

Are you saying

our target is a monster or something?

That's not what I'm saying.

It's a mutation with odd symptoms...

Listen to me carefully.

Our target isn't a monster nor a wild dog. It's our enemy, a North Korean soldier.

Don't make this bigger than it is.

Sir.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I met it and even saw it kill the North Korean DMZ Team.

And it's not a human.

Even his appearance isn't a human's.

We cannot call it a human.

What about its appearance? Did it look weird?

Yes.

I can draw it.

Sergeant First Class Park.

- Yes, sir. - Did you see it?

It was so hectic I didn't get to see it.

And you, Staff Sergeant Ju?

I didn't see it either, sir.

There are people who have seen it. We can't neglect it.

Report what happened today to the headquarters.

- Staff Sergeant Ju. - Yes, sir.

I want you to set up the monitor we set up for the operation here.

Yes, sir.

Cross-check the daytime rotation.

Tomorrow night's ambush will be our last chance.

We can die during the operation too.

Stay alert

and never take individual actions.

- Yes, sir. - Do you understand?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hey, it's me. Song Min-gyu.

I need to ask you a favor.

First Lieutenant Lee Joon-sung from the Special Forces.

Could you check his background?

Thanks. We should grab a drink sometime.

Okay, bye.

Are you okay, sir?

What?

Yes. I'm okay.

What about you guys? Is everything all right?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Tell me anytime if you need any help.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hello.

Hey, guys.

We need to build a barracks for First Lieutenant Son.

Can you do it?

Don't worry, sir. We were thinking of doing it anyway.

Salute.

I never let a vet treat me.

They said they didn't have any medic to send here.

You can't stay like that until tomorrow.

She seems dehydrated.

Take her to the health center with you.

I will.

Did you get some sleep?

Kind of.

Of course, you couldn't sleep.

What you've been through must have made you curious.

And you can't do anything until you figure out what it was.

Am I wrong? That's Son Ye-rim.

Give me your hand.

Don't get me wrong. It's just for disinfection.

Goodness.

The wound looks serious. You didn't tell anyone about it, did you?

It's not a big deal.

Wait there.

What a consistent person you are.

It's been one year, but you haven't changed.

Changing can kill a person.

Right. It can kill a person.

Do you have more wounds? Under the uniform?

Do you want me to undress here?

Hey.

Why do you talk like that?

I was just worried about you.

You don't need to.

You're such a persistent person.

You never change. That's great.

Thanks anyway.

Be careful, okay?

First Lieutenant Son.

What's up?

Well...

I forgot to give it back to you.

Thanks.

Staff Sergeant Ju Moon-chul.

Sergeant Yong.

Do you know First Lieutenant Son?

Yes, kind of.

Yes.

How do you know her?

We carried out an operation together during the 329 GP incident.

I see.

Are you, by any chance, interested in her?

Yes.

Is it bad?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean?

Set me up with her.

You're asking me a shocking favor.

Gosh, this is boring.

Are the gangsters not showing up today?

Symptoms of atopic dermatitis...

Atopy symptoms

Atopy: a hereditary allergic predisposition

We've had

3 dogs and 20 female chickens go missing from our village.

Our village isn't a village

where anyone can just walk in,

which means that the thief is from the inside.

Or they could've just escaped on their own.

Anyway, let's keep all options open,

and take turns keeping watch.

I tried to keep the guards to the younger ones,

so if anyone has a problem, feel free to talk to me.

Give us our shifts now.

Let's just play the ladder game.

Let's decide by playing rock, paper, scissors.

Let's not do that.

Let's go from the best to worst-looking.

I'd have the first shift, then.

- Get him. - What?

- It's true! - How are you the first?

How dare you?

Come on.

This isn't going to work.

Let's do it in the order of age, then.

Get your ID cards out, then.

Come on. We're friends.

Yes, the oldest ones can go first.

Let's see.

One, two, three.

Seriously?

You were born early.

- I was born late. - Same thing.

Look at you.

Get him.

- Look at you! - What's going on?

Why are you leading the meeting?

Who's the village chief and the youth leader?

You're busy. You're a newlywed.

What does that have to do with anything?

What?

Look at that!

Blood?

Look at you!

Gosh, I envy of you.

- It's not what you think it is. - Of course it's not.

Yes, when I was a newlywed, my nose was bleeding all the time.

It's not what you think it is!

She won't even let me come near her.

Why?

- What's wrong? - You guys already have a problem?

Because she wants to move.

It's understandable that she feels trapped in here.

Be good to her.

Goodness.

First Lieutenant Lee,

thanks so much.

You must've been terrified.

Don't think about it too much.

It'll become a trauma.

Let's not get too scared.

We can kill it.

Yong Hee-ra Hangover Soup

Hee-ra,

I think

we might've chosen the wrong food to serve.

Now that it's hot, nobody is coming.

They'll come once it gets cold.

How optimistic of you.

Does Dong-jin not use your card anymore?

He's on a mission.

Why do you keep looking at your phone, then?

It's a habit.

Hee-ra, that's called being obsessed.

Hey,

what else do I have aside from my son?

What's wrong with being obsessed?

And I'm just worried because he's almost done his service.

- Let's drink. - Cheers.

Welcome. Are you here alone?

It's been years!

What did you think of the target when you saw it with your eyes?

It's much more powerful than Corporal Oh.

How could this be?

Did the water help?

No.

I don't think the rabies treatment logic works on this.

You don't think there's anyone else who's infected, right?

Hopefully not.

Could I ask you to conduct an experiment for me?

Sergeant Yong,

do you want to train like a real battle?

You know special martial arts, right?

No, thanks. I don't sweat when I'm almost done with my service.

Come on now.

You're a special force.

I'm lazy.

Let's do it.

Come on out. Hurry!

What?

Good luck!

Cheers!

- Yong Dong-jin! - Yong Dong-jin!

- Yong Dong-jin! - Yong Dong-jin!

- Yong Dong-jin! - Yong Dong-jin!

- Yong Dong-jin! - Yong Dong-jin!

- First Lieutenant Lee! - First Lieutenant Lee!

- Yong Dong-jin! - Yong Dong-jin!

Yes.

Things are looking more serious than I had anticipated.

I'm keeping an eye out on Captain Song Min-gyu.

Yes, sir.

I knew it.

There's no way someone in the village would've stolen.

Some brat must've come in.

The special force came in out of nowhere,

and the dogs and chickens go missing.

Perhaps a North Korean spy has snuck in.

If they came all the way down here, it means the route is open.

I shouldn't be here doing this right now.

Honey, take a break if you're tired.

I'm fine.

We have to start wrapping things up now.

We need to get changed if we're going to the party.

Is this the time already?

In any case,

time flies when I'm with you.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Give me your hand.

- Give me that. I'll hold it. - Okay.

What should I wear?

You're pretty no matter what you wear.

What is it? Did you have a bad dream again?

I feel uneasy

because that person came by.

Why are you feel uneasy?

It was strange back then too.

He said the mine exploded first, then he said it exploded later.

He was speaking incoherently.

Later on, he said he couldn't remember.

He witnessed it, so he couldn't have been in his right mind.

That was their conclusion then too.

Son, are you okay?

Gosh, Hee-ra must've had another nightmare.

I'm doing very well.

I'm in the middle of my last training.

I love you.

Mom

I'll be back then.

Take good care of her.

She's a much more important member of the team than you.

Yes, sir.

Did you get on the team leader's bad side?

We waited in the same room when I was at the Military Police.

Did you pick a fight with him?

No.

You need to fix that habit of yours.

You always fight if you feel like it's unfair.

You saw him too.

That man is a complete lunatic. He's crazy.

I'm worried about our operation.

I can't believe we need to trust our lives with him.

Why would you call your team leader a lunatic?

You deserve to be on his bad side.

You're still quite good.

You might need a knife instead of a gun, so prepare it.

Our target

isn't human, nor is he a zombie.

He seems

like unique creature that's been combined with an animal.

Don't jump to conclusions rashly.

How can we fight against a target without establishing what he is?

We have to stop considering him to be a human.

Nothing has been revealed scientifically.

Gosh, is it really the time to argue that?

Nobody saw him properly, so they all think he's human.

But what if something goes wrong?

Is there a possibility of infection?

Son Ye-rim, Republic of Korea Army

There's no proof of interhuman infection.

The wild dog which is presumed to be the host is already dead.

We can't be sure if he was infected or not.

Gosh, this is frustrating.

We're continuously studying it.

You just need to focus on catching the target.

I saw it with my own eyes, so the lab will join us too.

Now that I look at it, you didn't come to save me,

you came because you're curious about that guy.

Why would I come to save you?

That's what I'm saying.

Chungong-ri Health Care Center

Clinic

Don't look at me like that. I won't go easy on you.

Do you want me to give her Vita K first?

Yes.

The cut on her leg won't stop bleeding.

Goodness. It must've been hard for you to look for those mines.

Do you need anything else?

Please give her an IV too.

Okay.

Just give me the entire IV set.

Do you have a needle too?

Yes, we do.

Thank you.

Did you receive medical training too?

Does a military working dog handler know how to do that too?

No, I just learned a few things from my superiors.

I think you should get some treatment too.

How did you get hurt like this while looking for mines?

Did you get into a fight?

I guess so.

Yes, I got into a fight.

Right.

Have you been well, Dr. Baek?

Me? Yes, I've been well.

It's nice to see you.

I thought I'd have a lot to say when I saw you.

I always received your letters well.

Why didn't you write back then?

Because I'm not elegant. I'm not good at writing.

Did you do something wrong to me?

No, I didn't.

I know, but you kept running away from me.

I came to see you so many times, but I always missed you.

I know you're not my dad.

So you don't have to run away from me.

I was just curious about you which is why I looked for you.

I wanted to know who you were.

While I was at the orphanage,

you sent me money for my education and living expenses.

You even sent me gifts.

It makes sense to want to meet your patron.

You don't have to feel burdened.

If you're curious about

your birth parents, I can tell you about them.

It's fine. I don't have any memories of them anyway.

You should continue staying here, Dr. Baek.

That way I can come visit you from time to time.

Okay.

Thank you, Ye-rim.

Go.

Chungong-ri Health Care Center

She's looking at you, right?

Do this and put.

Good girl.

You should do it again.

- Good. - Did you win over all the women here?

What?

What do you take me for?

There was only one woman whom I approached first

in my whole life.

Think what you want.

I don't intend to cling onto you and beg you to believe me.

There's nothing between us anyway.

You say there's nothing between us, but why are you speaking down to me?

Should I report this to Captain Song?

Were you always like this?

You were the one who said you liked this.

You're right. I must've been out of my mind.

I must've been possessed by something,

so I did like you.

We're in the middle of an operation, so try to stay away from citizens.

Didn't Captain Song tell us not to form

disharmony with the citizens here, First Lieutenant Son?

We have to go, Sergeant Yong.

Whenever she's at a disadvantage she always pulls rank.

She's younger than me.

Mac, here. Let's go.

Kids, you can't touch the dog like that.

Chungong-ri Village Hall

Come over here.

Eat something before you go.

Pardon?

Today is my birthday.

Goodness. It's okay, ma'am.

Goodness. Eat something and go. You didn't come last time either.

We're in the middle of an operation, so we must go back.

It's okay. Hurry up and come.

Goodness.

Mother, hurry up and go inside.

Soo-young, you...

The landmine removal team.

- Oh, right. - Gosh.

Nice to meet you. Come in.

You're working hard, so you at least eat well.

No, thank you. We'll get going now.

It's okay.

Soo-young.

Eat something before you go. It's Grandma's birthday.

- You shouldn't do this. - You're so cold.

What should we do?

We'll eat and go within 20 minutes.

We'll just eat then.

Okay, then.

Here.

Come here. Stay.

You can't touch her. Just look at her.

- Okay. - Okay.

Hold on.

Why are we going into the shelter?

We have a lot of senior citizens here, so if there's a war...

It's our tradition for when we have parties.

Hurry up and come in. Soo-young, hurry up.

Okay.

What are you guys doing? Hurry up.

Excuse us.

Everyone, say hello.

They're from the landmine removal team.

- Come in. - Go on in.

- Come in. - Sit down.

I'm sure the food on base isn't that good,

so eat up while you're here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where are you stationed?

I'm a part of the Search Team.

I'm Sergeant Yong Dong-jin.

You seemed like a military working dog handler.

That's right.

So you're in the Search Team.

Do you know the DMZ myth about Gate Eight too?

You mean, the Private ghost that got completely lost

and ended up in a GP?

How do you know...

So I tell children to never leave the village.

I'm working for the KCST Command.

We were told to get rabies shots.

I guess that's why you're here, First Lieutenant Son.

It's not hard to guess, because I've been living here.

Please eat up.

Min-jae, get back to your seat now.

You, handsome young man. Come on out and sing.

- Me? - Yes.

Come on. Sing us a song.

I'm good. I'm eating now.

- Sing! - Sing!

She loves new faces.

Just think of it as the price for the meal and sing a song.

Come on. Stand up.

Good luck.

- Sing! - Sing!

Me? Alone?

You're a Sergeant, so you should do it.

You used to love karaoke.

But I can't...

It's an order, Sergeant Yong.

- Sing! - Sing!

Will you stop calling me Sergeant Yong?

♪ If you don't sing, you can't leave the army ♪

♪ You will end up a professional soldier ♪

- Sing! - Sing!

Come on out. Okay. A round of applause, please!

Happy Birthday, Ms. Kim Chun-nam

I will sing just one song then.

(Song: "Tomboy" by HYUKOH)

♫ I was always awkward with the love my mom always showed ♫

♫ Maybe that's why, things are always so hard ♫

♫ Even inside the greed that I was afraid to lose ♫

♫ There is a small beauty ♫

♫ I'm happy right now, so I'm nervous ♫

♫ Because there's always the calm before the storm ♫

♫ Because I don't want to be set on fire and burn quickly ♫

♫ I'm cheering for love ♫

♫ The young us ♫

♫ We can't see our tree rings ♫

♫ Our eyes are getting blind from the bright lights ♫

Goodness!

Come here, Mac.

Good girl.

- Gosh. - Hey, buddy.

It must be heavy. Let me carry it for you.

- I'm good. - It's okay.

Sergeant Yong here should be handling the dog anyway.

Is it your first time in Chungong-ri?

Yes, it's my first time here.

Yes.

So this is where Soo-young's father came from?

Yes. I have always wanted to move to a countryside.

Then where did you live until you moved here?

After Soo-young was born, I lived in Incheon.

Before that,

I have been traveling around because of work.

You had to travel around because of work?

May I ask what your job was?

I did something,

but I'm too embarrassed to tell you about it.

I don't look so good now.

Why? You look all right.

To be honest,

I was really surprised to hear how old you were.

You don't look your age.

Sergeant Yong, you know what women like to hear.

I have been living with my mother alone,

so I understand older women well,

but girls in my age...

I understand. It happens.

If you have any problem with girls, let me know.

So do you have a girlfriend now?

Well...

I don't have a girlfriend.

I got dumped a year ago, and I haven't dated anyone since.

Oh, my. But you look like a popular type.

Please don't say that.

That's the problem.

No wonder. Soo-young seemed disappointed too.

What did you study in college?

I studied veterinary medicine.

Then handling military working dogs is a perfect job for you.

So you're leaving in two weeks?

- Yes. - You must be excited.

This is the place. Thanks for your help, ma'am.

Right.

- Okay. - Let me...

Keep up the good work then.

- See you around. - Sure.

See you later.

You do flirt with all the women in this village.

Old habits die hard.

Hey, Son Ye-rim. Are you jealous?

Here.

- What's up? - Be quiet.

- Why? What's up? - Just follow me.

What?

What is it?

That's Son Ye-rim, right?

No.

I remember what you did a year ago.

You were whining that you couldn't reach her.

Then you made a scene, saying you'd run away.

She's that woman, right?

Is that true, sir?

Come on! Stop asking me questions about it.

This is awesome.

I heard you had become weird since the last operation,

so I was suspecting this.

Is she also in Polaris?

- It's just a coincidence. - It's destiny.

Gosh, they always end up together.

But she's a First Lieutenant and you're a Sergeant.

"I'm a First Lieutenant and you're a Sergeant."

- "I'm..." - Stop it, will you?

Okay.

Cheer up, though.

You will be a civilian after two weeks.

Who cares about the ranks?

I agree.

Why would I date her after I get discharged?

Why not?

Why not? You can date her again.

You don't seem to have moved on yet.

We

can never be together.

- Why? - Why?

Watch your language.

I apologize.

First Lieutenant Son.

You must be tired.

Have a cup of coffee.

Thanks, Staff Sergeant Ju.

Are you investigating the strange monster?

It's too early to call it a monster.

It tastes good.

I'm actually a certified barista.

As a matter of fact,

Sergeant Yong told me to be nice to you.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

There you go.

- Baek-jun! - Sergeant Yong.

- Are you done now? - Yes.

Come back safely. I'll have a special meal prepared.

A special meal?

I didn't hear anything about such a thing.

Yes. I'll be preparing it.

You are?

What is it?

It's special ramyeon, passed on from my father.

Ramyeon? Sounds great. Thank you.

And here. You can have them.

They're yours now. Keep your hands safe.

You should use them.

No, I have lots of them.

Also,

don't tell First Lieutenant Son.

Come on.

Hey! Why are you laughing?

First Lieutenant Son is a cool woman.

I don't know what it is, but you should just apologize to her.

Hey!

What did I ever do wrong?

Most men never know what they did wrong.

Didn't you say that you've never had a girlfriend before?

What do you know about women?

The ambush attack will take place at 10 p.m.

We will come back at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

I figure that we're all feeling the same thing right now.

We must catch it today. Understood?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Here you go.

Thank you.

Guys, be careful.

Yes, you should be careful, too.

I'll run to you whenever you need help.

It feels reassuring.

Let's get going now.

Current situation.

Current situation in check.

What are you doing?

You're just making ramyeon.

I have to make it well.

Baek-jun,

why do you have gloves on?

They're from Sergeant Yong.

He told me to keep them on.

I see.

I'm going to wear them to sleep, too.

What's the secret?

I can't tell you yet.

I'll tell you after you try some.

I wonder if they'll be able to get the zombie today.

Isn't it not a zombie?

I hear that it flies over trees.

It's all in the head.

When people are in fear, their imaginations run wild.

It might as well be a monkey in uniform.

A monkey, you say?

I'm glad that I'm a cook.

It must be terrifying to be in there.

I'm worried about Sergeant Yong.

You should worry about the time you have left here.

He may be a dog handler,

but I bet he's a star in there.

Why is it so noisy out there?

Are the village dogs having a meeting today?

It's especially loud today.

Hold on.

It's too quiet.

Can I ask you something?

When I was singing in the underground shelter,

you just left.

What?

I thought it might've been because of my bad singing that day.

You were never good.

Hey.

Well,

you remember

when we went to karaoke together. I was quite all right then.

Can you sing anything else?

No, I just know that one song.

I'm going to take a nap since nobody is here.

Take some rest.

I'm heading to the situation room and check on the radio.

- All right, then. - Yes, sir.

Baek-jun,

- Yes? - keep up the good work.

Yes, sir.

Sergeant,

you shouldn't move the sleeping bags around.

Sergeant Yong is a sensitive sleeper.

No!

Sergeant!

Goodness.

Access Prohibited

Sergeant.

Baek-jun?

I see...

At the headquarters...

Say again. Seo Baek-jun!

Darn it.

Sir, there's a situation at the headquarters. We'll return early.

The target has appeared at HQ. Everyone back right now!

Baek-jun!

Seo Baek-jun!

Come on!

Search

Sergeant Yong!

Our soldiers are continuously being attacked

by wild beasts.

If you don't succeed with the mission within 72 hours, you all must resign.

Let me go. I'm going to get that beast.

Are they having a night training session?

Doesn't something feel off?

Who's there?

Sir, it's the target.

If the villagers find out about the target,

or if someone becomes a victim, it's all over for us.

We must stop it.
