GYEONGSEONG CREATURE 2

[Seung-jo] Ho-jae.

Why do you bother fighting them?

You know that you can't win in the end.

I'm not fighting to win, Seung-jo.

[wistful music playing]

It's my way of getting revenge.

As long as we fight, they will never forget

everything that they did to us and more.

As long as we're alive…

we'll make them feel sorry.

And if they don't feel any remorse,

then we'll continue to wreak havoc on them.

And if that doesn't work, then we will

continue to be a nuisance anyway.

We'll make them suffer.

They can never run away from what they did.

Any chance for forgiveness?

How can I forgive if they don't feel the need to apologize?

They refuse to admit the horrible things they did, then say it never happened.

So I don't think forgiveness is on the table for me.

If you say so.

However, have you considered

it was a different time back then?

Yeah, sure.

It was a different time.

I understand it was a time of war and everyone was trying to survive it.

However,

as human beings, we know when what we're doing is inhumane

and has crossed a line.

And if we don't hold those accountable…

then the world gets that much darker.

How much do you trust me?

[chuckles]

Well, it's not about how much I trust you.

You're trustworthy or not.

[Seung-jo]

I never met you in the first place.

If I hadn't,

I would've been perfectly fine with becoming a monster.

[hissing]

[Chae-ok groaning]

-[melancholy music playing] -[panting]

[panting]

Why are you doing this?

I told you.

I really don't want to die.

[footsteps approaching]

[Seung-jo] entertain a dream for a while.

[gasps]

[Seung-jo] "Maybe I could live like him too."

Like a real person.

As a human would.

Turns out…

that I couldn't.

I really am a monster.

I almost never care what happens to anyone but myself.

I never feel guilt about it either.

If something threatens me,

then I kill it without hesitation.

If I'm bored, I hunt.

If I am hungry, then I feed.

To think of it…

there really is no better thrill.

Your mother was Akiko, wasn't she?

Do you even know…

how your mother was killed?

Yes.

[music intensifies]

[Seung-jo]

All that's in the past now. Who cares?

The only mother I know is Lady Maeda, who raised me.

[gasps softly]

You don't think she's been using you?

[melancholy music continues]

A good son answers his mother with a "yes."

[Seung-jo]

I was the one who was using her.

It's how I survived.

And now…

[squelching]

…you will die.

I want you to bring me that woman.

Yoon Chae-ok.

For Ho-jae's sake…

[Maeda] Master Jang who does it.

He is to take her life in the very end.

…I have to kill you.

-[squelching] -[gunshot]

[gasps softly]

[mysterious music playing]

[Ji-su] Freeze! Move, and I'll shoot!

[pants]

[panting]

[groans in pain]

-[squelching] -[groaning in pain]

[Seung-jo panting]

Master Jang will be very disappointed when he…

learns you've become a monster.

Wait a minute. That person, he's…

[Ji-su panting]

-[footsteps approaching] -[screeching]

[screeching snarl]

And who are the men in black?

You have to run, or else you're gonna die.

-What are you doing here? -[snarling]

[groaning]

[screeching snarl]

-[Chae-ok grunts] -Hey!

Get as far away as you can. Hurry.

Who sent you here?

[ominous music playing]

[pants]

[sighs]

Your odds of winning at this point are impossible.

You wanna bet on that?

There's only one way to find out. You ready?

No matter what you do,

Lady Maeda is going to end up killing everyone around you.

Because ultimately, the thing that she really wants

is for you to be all alone.

If you want to know my opinion in all this,

I don't actually care who wins in the end.

I'm just waiting for the fight to be over with.

And if you hope to win,

wouldn't that come in handy?

GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN BENEVOLENCE AND EXPLOITATION

EPISODE 7 MARGINAL MAN

[music fades]

[Yong-gil] Please have mercy on him, Lady Maeda.

Please have mercy on Ho-jae once more.

I beg you.

-[intriguing music playing] -I swear I'll watch him.

I'll… I'll make sure that he never appears in front of you again, Lady Maeda.

I beg you.

I can make sure he doesn't do anything.

Uh, one more chance. Please have mercy on him.

Are you willing

to bet your own life on that promise?

I swear to you.

Just let Ho-jae live.

I will

do what you ask.

[footsteps approaching]

[door squeaks]

Ho-jae.

[sighs]

[exhales]

Ho-jae.

Ho-jae, let's go.

Let's go. Let's go home now.

Huh? Ho-jae.

[sobbing]

Let's go, okay? Let's go.

Let's go home, Ho-jae.

Let's go home now.

[somber music playing]

[inhales]

[exhales]

[music subsides]

[monitor beeping]

Yeah, got it. I'll be over there soon.

[disconnect tone]

No, you can stay here. I can go on my own.

What? Where are you going?

Kwon Yong-gil is awake and asking for me. It'll be quick.

[door opens]

[phone buzzing]

DETECTIVE NOH JI-SU

Detective Noh. How's it going so far?

[clattering playing on phone]

Captain Yuh?

[hissing]

Captain Yuh?

Captain Yuh!

[stirring music playing]

[phone buzzes]

What is it?

[man] to have caught on to the plan.

[music intensifies]

[stirring music continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

Welcome back.

I've been waiting for you.

I was wondering why it was so empty on the way here.

Well, for an old friend like you, it was the least I could do.

Oh, we're still friends, are we?

A lot has changed over the years.

And despite everything that happened,

we still always find ourselves standing face-to-face.

So perhaps we are.

Perhaps that is why…

it is better to remember even the most painful

of memories than to be completely alone.

With the kind of memories I had of you way back then,

I think you're quite lucky that I didn't remember.

Well, I believe otherwise.

I still think it is better for you to remember everything

than to live with a void.

I used to think you were only crazy.

You're also repulsive.

Master Jang, do you

still believe all human lives are created equal?

Why? Do you still believe otherwise?

And what of Yoon Chae-ok?

Do you feel the same way

about her life?

[moans]

[sinister music playing]

[Maeda]

If I were to suddenly put your belief to the test,

would it still hold?

For example, what if we take your friend in the hospital?

[nurse] We'll be moving you to the general ward.

Huh?

What about

that captain friend of yours?

[sinister music continues]

[handle clicks]

And the boy, number 71, you've been looking for.

If you were made to choose between saving the lives of three

or the life of one, who would you choose?

Yoon Chae-ok or your three friends?

No way.

Please tell me you didn't.

[distant snarling]

[breathing heavily]

[distant snarling]

[distant growl]

[Maeda] Yoon Chae-ok is not down there.

Soon, she'll be inside a water tank and her Najin removed.

There are two options for her.

She will either get to live

but loses her memories the same way you did.

Option two, she never makes it out of the water tank.

She'll die drowning.

[breathes nervously]

Now,

who will you save first, I wonder.

Yoon Chae-ok?

[tense music playing]

Throw her in.

[Maeda]

your three friends?

[loud clanking]

[low growling]

[growls]

[snarling]

[Maeda] You need to choose, Master Jang.

Time is running out, I'm afraid.

Why do you always take it so far? Tell me!

You're the one who believes we're all equal.

So I'm putting it to the test.

An experiment of sorts.

[stirring music playing]

At the end of this,

let's see if you will still believe

we are all the same.

I wonder

if you'll change your mind.

[gasps]

-[mysterious music playing] -[gasps, groans]

Master Jang.

What are you doing? Don't come down.

[crackling]

[screeching snarl]

[crackling]

Ho-jae! What are you doing?

Don't come down here! No!

-[loud thudding] -[grunts]

[loud clattering]

[tense music playing]

[screeching snarl]

[growls]

[ferocious growl]

[creature snarls]

[breathing heavily]

Hey! Are you crazy?

I told you not to come down here. What were you thinking?

[rumbling snarl]

I've done this before.

[squelching]

[snarling]

[footsteps thudding]

[snarls]

[ferocious growling]

-[Chae-ok groans] -Just give up.

[breathing nervously]

There's no way out for you.

Where is Master Jang?

Just tell me that, at least.

[breathes heavily]

[grunts]

[groans]

Is he still alive?

[Kuroko01] He is alive, but it will be hard for you to see him again.

Jang Tae-sang could have chosen to save you, but he opted to save others.

And because of his decision,

he won't make it out alive.

He'll be ripped to shreds soon.

As for you, you will die in this water tank.

If you wanted to win, you both should have ran while you had the chance.

You make decisions based on emotions rather than logic.

It's no wonder you don't accomplish anything.

[pensive music playing]

Just as we have our own reason for choosing to live…

[breathes shakily]

…we both have our reasons for choosing to die for each other.

Are you not afraid of death?

[music grows]

What I fear most is far worse than death.

What is worse than being alone and unable to die?

It's a pity, those eyes.

What beautiful eyes.

[dramatic music playing]

[gasping]

[ferocious growling]

[grunts]

[snarling]

What the heck? What is that?

What the heck is that?

Can you shut up for a second? Seriously!

[snarling]

Ho-jae!

[rumbling growl]

[Yong-gil] Hey! Ho-jae!

[gasping]

Ho-jae, are you okay?

[rumbling growl]

Go away. Oh shit! Wait, wait!

Go away! Get away from us! [screams]

-[squelching] -[ferocious snarl]

Come on! Get outta here!

Hurry and cut them off.

Hurry, Yong-gil.

Oh shit!

My leg. My leg.

[panting]

Goddamn it.

Over there. Jong-hyeok. We gotta get him. He comes with us.

Hurry, we have to hurry.

[creature snarls]

-Hurry. Faster! -[creature snarls]

You're free. Untie it.

[grunts]

Ho-jae!

There's an elevator! Back there! Hurry up! Go!

Ah shit!

[ferocious growling]

[loud clattering]

[snarls]

Hurry up! Get outta here!

Come on! Hurry up!

[alarm continues]

[woman's voice] has been detected.

Look, it's here! It's here!

[woman's voice] has been detected.

Ho-jae! Come on! Hurry!

What the hell is he doing?

-Nitrogen gas has been detected. -Oh!

Hold on. Ho-jae!

Ho-jae!

[groans]

[grunts]

[doors clattering]

Are you all right?

[Yong-gil] Ho-jae! Ho-jae!

I was worried. Are you okay?

Yong-gil, there's no time to talk.

Go up a floor and follow the long hallway all the way down.

Once you get to the very end of the hall,

you'll come across very big iron doors that'll be on your right side.

Keep going, and follow that pathway until you get out.

Wait a minute. Hey, what about you?

Yoon Chae-ok is still in here.

Don't do this. You can't go alone. It's not safe out there!

Call the police as soon as you're outside.

Yeah, I will.

Ho-Jae, listen.

Just come with us, okay? Okay? Let's get out together.

You gotta save yourself! Don't risk it for her!

[chuckles softly]

I'm staying, Yong-gil.

I have to find Chae-ok.

[wistful music playing]

[doors clatter]

[gasps softly]

[wistful music continues]

How is it progressing?

[Kuroko04] The water temperature inside the tank dropped to 20 degrees.

In about two, three minutes, it'll hit 18.

Then soon, she'll suffer cardiac arrest.

[Chae-ok]

I wish I could go to you.

There are so many things

I've wanted to tell you.

And so many things…

I hoped to do together.

[squelching]

What's going on?

Her Najin should be asleep.

[music fades]

Why did you do it?

To kill me?

Was that your intention?

I should've killed you a year ago

when you had chosen

Jang Tae-sang instead of me.

[scoffs]

I'll ask one last question.

Did you ever see me as your son?

[pensive music playing]

That side of you is your weakness.

Have you still learned nothing, dearest Seung-jo?

This obsession over trivial relationships is like a prison to humans.

It turns them into vulnerable

and useless beings.

They get taken advantage of and become expendable or easily discarded.

And I did not… raise you that way.

I raised you to not have attachments.

To ignore your human weakness

so that you would become perfect on your own.

Instead, you longed for a mother

and relied on Jang Tae-sang.

How disappointing.

[sighs]

I apologize.

The fact that you were…

disappointed means you had expectations.

So from now on,

I will work harder.

I won't have attachments…

or rely on anyone.

With that said…

[squelching]

[dramatic string music playing]

[coughs]

…it's time I leave the nest.

I won't be held down by you.

This is the monster you raised.

[Maeda gasps]

[Kuroko04] Her heart has stopped.

[music intensifies]

I'll be taking that Najin.

[music soars]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[body thuds]

[screams]

[grunting]

[panting]

[Chae-ok]

that the good times

will come to us as well?

[Tae-sang]

I'll make sure… they do.

[music fades]

[Myung-jun grunts]

[sirens wailing]

What?

[sirens stop]

What will happen to me now?

Well,

you have to face the consequences.

There were three people killed.

I'll help you.

We'll get you qualified for mitigating factors, so don't

worry too much.

[car doors closing]

[Park] Move, move, move!

Over here. [exhales sharply]

[Ji-su gasps]

-Captain Yuh! -Hi.

-Are you all right? -I'm fine, I'm fine.

[Ji-su] How badly are you injured? Can you move?

-[groans] I think I broke my leg. -[officer] Move, move!

Listen. We need to get an emergency warrant.

-Okay. -For Jeonseung Biotech, all right?

-I'll see to it, sir. -Oh shit.

-Are you all right? -[groans]

Are you the only ones who made it out?

What was that?

Are you the only ones who made it?

Yeah.

There's no one else.

Ah. Okay.

Okay!

I'm here. I'm here.

[exhales]

[sighs]

Is school going to end late again today?

Uh, we're having a fundraiser for a club that I'm in,

then we might go out.

I'll be out pretty late, yeah.

[grandma] Mmm.

Yum. Oh, I love it.

-Yummy, right? [laughs] -Yeah.

So… any boys you wanna go out with?

Um, actually, uh…

Mm…

So…

Eventually, I guess.

[both laughing]

Here. Have some meat too.

Mmm. It's so good. Mmm.

[gentle piano music playing]

Your makeup looks good.

There'll be some boys at the fundraiser.

And your outfit looks so good too. Goodness.

Something new for once, you know?

[Chae-ok]

[indistinct chatter]

[gentle piano music continues]

[Chae-ok] I chase after someone every night.

But I don't know who it is,

nor can I remember what he looks like.

But by the time I wake up, my heart aches and yearns for him.

Yet spring will soon pass,

and summer will come again.
