Original subtitles

May I ask what you're doing?

Now,

please explain properly so that

I can understand what you're doing.

You

pretended that you didn't know

your joint researchers and your mentor.

Dr. Jung didn't mention you in his journal,

so I didn't know you existed.

However,

I found an article with your photo in a publication.

Also, you said that

you were infected by accident

and the accident led you to begin your research.

One more thing.

You said you're the only one using the drug

which makes your physical condition similar to an ordinary human's.

There are two infected men

I've always been wanted to meet.

And I met them the other day.

However,

just like you,

their physical conditions are similar to the normal humans'.

Now,

I'll give you time to explain.

I have plenty of time.

So...

take all the time you need.

At times,

lies are better than the truth which causes chaos.

Both of his parents were good-looking.

No wonder where he gets the looks from.

I worked in Dr. Jung's lab

along with these two friends.

They were my closest friends.

Then why didn't you tell me?

Dr. Jung

didn't want anyone to ever know that he had incubated the virus

and researched it.

He even hid the existence of us, his research assistants.

That's why I told you

that I was the first to discover the virus.

What about the other infected?

They were guinea pigs

that Dr. Jung experimented on without telling us.

-Guinea pigs? -Yes.

It was too late when we found out that

Dr. Jung

injected the virus into a few people who were dying.

But those guinea pigs

formed a group and tried to eliminate us.

They wanted to claim the virus for themselves.

Does that mean there may be more infected people?

Yes.

Those infected tried to kill us all,

so my friends and I ran away and split up.

We needed to protect the virus,

so we injected ourselves with it.

So you voluntarily became infected?

Yes.

However,

Dr. Jung refused to run

and continued the virus research.

And then...

there was a horrible accident.

Are you sure it was an accident?

Or was it done by the infected?

I'm not certain.

What about your other two friends?

I found out later

that my friends had also died in accidents.

How come the infected

have human's physical condition like you?

As I told you,

I left some of the drugs behind when I was trying to escape.

They must have gotten a hold of the drugs.

By any chance,

are the infected whom you've met recently...

Yes.

They are the ones

who killed my parents.

I'm so sorry.

LEE JAE-UK

DIRECTOR OF TAEMIN CANCER HOSPITAL

BORN IN 1971

I think they will come after us

because you and I,

Dr. Jung's research and his son are all here.

I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.

I just didn't want to cause you any unnecessary confusion.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

Of course.

That being said,

you don't expect me to just sit back and watch

what you're doing with 21A, do you?

I am not sure.

Let the other infected come at us.

And I want to take care of 21A.

You believe all of that?

Oh, you seem to really believe it.

When you suspect someone of lying,

it's best to pretend that you believe them.

When the lies add up,

the suspicion turns into a conviction.

Right? You didn't believe him, right?

Listening to him talk until the end was so painful.

Now, we need to turn the table.

We'll bring him down and...

All we have is suspicion.

This is more than enough. What more do we need?

It's not that we need evidence.

Then?

I'll make him say it himself.

I'll make him say everything that he has done.

Why didn't you report it to me?

Why didn't you report that you met Park Ji-sang?

After meeting you,

he noticed how you were like a human.

He even used Dr. Jung to lure Cheol-hun out.

And then,

he deduced that you have something to do with me.

I'm sorry, Director Lee. Please forgive me.

It happened so quickly,

and I couldn't sense the presence of an infected from him.

Of course, you couldn't.

He took a suppressant for Sister Sylvia's surgery.

That...

probably muffled his presence.

Please forgive him this one time.

I agree that it was unforeseen...

To me,

silence is also a lie.

Director Lee.

You will feel what it is like the minute before death.

This is the last chance I'll give you

for all the years we have spent together.

If you stay silent one more time,

I'll make sure you're silent forever.

Are you still up?

Go to bed.

You have several surgeries tomorrow.

I'm really tired of this.

First, the director and your parents knew each other,

and they were on Dr. Jung's research team.

Fine, let's just take that for what it is.

If you look at the photo in this article,

Director Lee should be at least 70 years old,

but his profile says he is 45 years old.

What kind of an anti-aging treatment

did he get to look this young?

The director is infected too, right?

Just like your parents.

Why didn't you

tell me something this important?

This is the most important fact!

I thought if you knew,

you would be in even more danger.

And why is that?

You know what's happening in 21A.

There is nothing they won't do to get what they want.

I think I have the right to point this out.

This isn't your hospital or his, it's my family's hospital.

How could I not do anything when these crazy things are going on?

I'm going to tell my uncle and the vice director tomorrow.

-You can't do that. -Why not?

I just told you.

They will do anything to get what they want.

The director will get rid of anyone in his way.

If either the chairman or vice director pressures him,

something horrible could happen.

Still...

I don't think he can do that.

You're wrong.

He totally can.

The director

may have killed my parents.

Are you serious?

The infected man you saw

is associated with the director.

Then...

the one your mother mentioned in the video...

and the infected who is plotting something...

If that's true,

we have to do something to stop him.

I know we have to do something,

but we are too weak to stop him.

Are you okay?

With what?

Your parents.

You sound like Hyeon-u.

I'm a little angry,

but I can handle it.

Get some sleep.

Although you found out much later,

you must feel the same.

It must be equally painful

to what you felt on the day you lost your parents.

Be angry and sad.

Go ahead and grieve.

If you make a habit of hiding your feelings,

you won't be able to express the feelings even if you want to.

That's very frustrating.

Do as I say just for today.

Just for today.

Why did you come again?

Why wouldn't I?

Where's Dr. Park?

He's doing his rounds. He will come by later.

I...

I really like him.

Why?

Well, how should I put this?

He seems like a warm-hearted person.

And...

he seems to believe in God.

He is an extreme atheist.

I doubt it.

He probably loves God

more than anyone else.

And...

he probably loves people

more than anyone else.

Did you sleep well?

Yes, I slept very well.

I hope you feel more at peace.

Of course.

I'm much more at peace than I expected.

Truth brings peace.

My head feels clear too.

That's right.

Truth is the best prescription for a confused mind.

Thank you for the good prescription.

I will repay you very soon.

He eats well now.

I know. He could only eat porridge before.

You spilled some.

Dad.

Honey.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm sorry, Su-yeon.

I'm sorry.

I analyzed the serum that Director Lee gave you.

Ji-sang, don't take it anymore.

Like he said, it's a combination of viruses

to raise your temperature and blood pressure,

and to reduce your heart rate.

But remember my suspicion?

How can you endure such a high fever?

-Is it the Nebillo virus? -Yes.

One of the four viruses in the mix is the Nebillo virus.

Over 170,000 people

died from this virus before in Africa alone.

This virus paralyzes the diencephalon.

Since the hypothalamus of the diencephalon regulates body temperature,

it messes up the ability to sense body temperature.

It makes you unable to regulate your body temperature.

The worse side effect is

it aggravates the front of the cerebral hemisphere

which makes it difficult to control your impulses and emotions.

The infected are already impulsive.

This makes it worse.

You take it to become more human,

but you become more of a monster.

The infected's bodies are strong,

but their one weakness is being easily influenced.

The director will get rid of anyone in his way.

If either the chairman or vice director pressures him even more,

something horrible may happen.

Why?

Did you think I'll keep losing to the director?

That's not it, Aunt.

I'm just a little worried.

-What are you worried about? -Well...

The director may appear gentle on the outside,

but who knows what he's like on the inside?

He may do worse things behind your back.

I can handle that much.

I'm not giving in to him, yet I'm doing fine.

Don't worry about me.

Don't go too far, okay?

Okay.

By the way, is Ms. Seo not bothering you anymore?

What? Didn't you know?

She stopped working at the center a few days ago.

Why?

She was urgently transferred to the US.

Her replacement started already.

I see.

I'm the vice director, but I didn't know.

This is embarrassing.

It's reasonable.

They always do their own thing anyway.

But...

why do you think Ms. Seo

suddenly went to the US?

It's understandable.

What should we do now?

It's too dangerous to continue the research,

but it hurts my pride to stop.

But when I think about the hospital, Ward 21A is a problem.

Will you just watch Ward 21A and do nothing?

Dr. Jung.

Yes?

If...

the guys who attacked you and Dr. Yu

are affiliated with the director...

Excuse me?

Even if your life is at stake,

will you continue?

Or...

would you drop it?

Do you have any grounds for your suspicion?

What would you do?

I won't blame you

even if you drop it.

If I dropped it, I would just die of curiosity.

I have no choice.

I'll die regardless.

I might as well give it a go first.

Let's meet again tonight when it's quiet.

I have something to tell you.

Okay.

And please prepare yourself for our talk.

Listen to it when you have time.

Our history

is recorded there.

My future is in your hands.

You have to take care of it well.

Make sure it never gets out.

I'll make sure of it, Director Yu.

You recorded this?

You always said that knowing your opponent's weakness

is more powerful than any weapon.

You ungrateful witch.

I'm not trying to threaten you.

I'm trying to protect myself and Taemin.

Someone like you will protect Taemin?

Will you protect it with such a despicable tactic?

Fine, do whatever you want.

Take it to the police.

Then, you're done.

You should know that this can't hurt me.

Of course, I know that.

However...

what if Rita found out?

That would be much worse

than the whole world finding out.

I don't want anything else.

Just let me keep my position.

Please let me fulfill my responsibilities.

I heard you're eating and taking your medicine well now.

I'm not doing this to get compliments.

All very well, but when will you speak more politely?

Don't expect too much from me.

Gosh.

Were you going to hit me again?

No, you're just so cute, so I wanted to pat you on the head.

That's not a pat!

This is child abuse! I'm going to call the police.

Go ahead, call the police.

You're so cute.

-Jang Yu-jin? -Yes.

What is it?

Oh, hello.

I'm the new Manager of the New Drug Development Team.

Okay, I got it.

What are you doing?

You won't even let me see her file. No, you can't give that to her.

Please stop and back off.

And if I won't?

What do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry, but he's interfering.

Let go of him.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Hey, what are you doing?

It may hurt a little.

It hurts.

It hurts, Doctor.

How could anyone be so disrespectful and ignorant?

How could he do that to his arm?

Dr. Lee was out of line.

What do you mean? He was thinking of the patient.

Just stay out of it.

He was rude to me too.

I was so insulted.

What did he do to you?

Well, when I told him to stop,

then he gave me this gross smirk,

raised his finger and...

Dr. Park, what brings you...

If you're being disrespectful or rude to the doctors again,

I won't forgive you.

I'm serious,

so take it seriously.

Got it?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Oh, what did I just do?

What am I, a child?

Darn it.

Don't tell me things like this anymore.

But...

why do you think Ms. Seo

suddenly went to the States?

It's understandable.

After Ms. Seo came,

two people died at the end.

You mean the one who was forcibly discharged

and the man who might have died of malaria?

Yes.

And we did all sorts of things to get blood samples.

Of course, she had to take responsibility.

But she got lucky for being transferred to the States.

She could have been severely reprimanded.

I need to find out something quickly.

Everything we're about to discuss should stay between us.

And you must

keep this a secret.

I don't know what it is,

but you have my word.

Wait, this man...

Director Lee?

Yes, that's correct.

It's Director Lee Jae-uk.

Oh, my...

How could this be?

First, watch this.

You're not a monster.

You were infected.

You are infected with a virus called the VBT-01 virus.

Of course, your dad and I were both infected,

so you were born infected.

There will come a day

when we won't need this place.

You've worked

for a very long time for that.

If you do something for a very long time,

there are times

you forget what you wanted to gain so desperately

at the beginning.

That's not true.

Then and now,

you haven't changed.

Thank you for saying that.

If you mean it

and if it's the truth,

I hope you become like me.

Be unwavering regardless of any change or variable

and maintain your belief.

Turn that belief into action

and stay loyal.

I will keep that in mind,

Director Lee.

I watched it all,

but I still can't believe it.

This virus does exist.

You, your family, and

Director Lee Jae-uk

were infected?

No.

It can't be.

It must be a different virus.

It doesn't make any sense.

Dr. Park.

Isn't that enough?

Or do I need to show you more?

There are others who are infected.

I don't know exactly how many they are,

but the public doesn't know about it.

So...

are they conducting tests in Ward 21A

using this virus?

Yes.

They're not infecting the patients.

They're creating a vaccine using its genes.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

How could this happen?

But...

why didn't the director say anything

about the fact that he was my father's student

and he was on the same team

with your parents?

He said that when they split up

after abandoning the research,

they agreed not to let anyone know

about the research.

But now,

the director

is continuing the research alone.

He's even using unethical methods.

He's not continuing it.

He's claiming it for himself.

Do you think

he claimed it fairly

when my father and other researchers were there?

How likely is it

that he killed my father and your parents

to claim the research for himself?

There is no proof of that

since it's true that they split up.

I see.

But...

who else knows about this?

You, me, Hyeon-u,

and Dr. Yu.

I see.

Wait.

I can't breathe.

You can't drink, right? Let me pour you just one shot.

I can't believe

something so unimaginable occurred.

I was sure it wouldn't happen.

That's why I was very relaxed.

Do you remember what I said the other day?

If there were people

infected with the virus,

I would have to bear that burden for the rest of my life.

Now,

I guess I must bear it.

Of course, I must.

It's not your fault.

If I weren't a doctor, maybe it won't be my fault.

But I'm a doctor like my father.

I must take responsibility

for what my father caused.

Thank you, Dr. Park.

It must have been very difficult to share this secret.

Just like my parents chose to trust Dr. Jung,

I choose to trust you.

On my father's behalf,

I apologize to you and to your parents.

Please forgive me.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Please sit down.

Now...

we just have to figure this out together.

Oh, you reek of alcohol. How much did you drink?

Twenty-six and a half shots.

What? You drink like a fish.

That's another one off my list of 100 questions.

Vampires drink like fish.

Come to think of it, I'm annoyed.

Why didn't you drink for me in Jeju?

Because I hated you then.

You hated me?

Seriously, what a childish response.

Then, what about now?

I can take a few shots for you.

No, I can take up to four shots.

I'll just drink them myself.

But...

Dr. Jung must feel really guilty.

Yes.

That made me trust him more.

He seems like a scholar with a conscience.

What now?

We have a new ally.

What should we do now?

We'll make the director confess

with that shameless mouth of his.

Director Lee.

Yes?

From now on,

I will not treat the patients in Ward 21A.

Excuse me?

I found out that like the side effects from all the tests

make it too difficult to treat them.

I would rather not cover that far.

You must have seen the progress of the result.

I'm sure it's only temporary.

All drugs work well at first. The problem is what comes after.

Just two days ago,

you said you wouldn't leave me and Ward 21A alone.

I did say that.

But after thinking about it over again,

It didn't seem necessary.

But it's a study using the virus that we both have.

You should show an interest.

I don't think it will work out anyway.

I'll just focus on the other patients.

The other infected may also show up at any time,

so I need to prepare for them.

How much did you drink?

You reek of alcohol.

Oh, I feel like I'm going to die.

Dr. Park drinks so well.

Really?

I heard he couldn't drink at all.

Dr. Choi.

-Yes? -About that bet.

Does it still stand?

What bet?

The one when I said that if Dr. Park is a vampire,

I'll run down the hall in my underwear.

Of course, it still stands.

It's not like it will happen, so let's forget it.

What is this all of a sudden?

It's just such a childish bet between a mentor and mentee.

It's not childish at all!

And since it's a bet between a mentor and mentee,

it's more important.

Don't get so worked up.

Then...

fine.

You're so stubborn.

Don't mind me.

Go back to work.

Okay.

I'll take care of it.

Goodness.

My vision

is becoming dim.

My dear Rita's face...

I can't see it clearly anymore.

You can just feel it.

Sister Sylvia.

We'll take you back to your room.

Goodness.

That...

is the best news yet.

You should really prepare yourself now.

Okay.

I have been preparing myself for a few days.

Tell the others as well.

Okay.

Why are you staring at me?

It's not because your body has become warm recently, is it?

What?

It's just

you seem warm all of a sudden.

Am I wrong?

Doesn't it have nothing to do with that?

But your hand was warm even back then.

Your hand was warm when you put the ointment on my head.

I'm sure

it was colder back then.

No, it was warm.

Just like now.

There are no records of Seo Hye-ri leaving for the States.

-Even to other countries? -Yes.

Records show that she's been in Korea since last year.

Try to locate Seo Hye-ri first.

And look into her house, car, and everything else.

I guess the new suppressants are working.

I see you perform surgeries these days.

Taking suppressants is much better than injecting children's blood

and substances that improve physical condition

with all sorts of viruses.

It took me years of research to formulate that.

They don't deserve to be belittled.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

It's fine.

If that's how you feel, what can I do?

I'm suddenly curious about something.

I wonder what those infected who attacked us are researching.

They may be doing a research

that is even more shocking and innovative.

Now, I'm suddenly curious too.

If they are doing an interesting research,

I think I could join them even if they are my enemy.

Still,

you should be careful.

I'm always careful.

Please excuse me.

I asked you to come here because I need to tell you something.

What is it?

I...

I want to develop a vaccine

that cures VBT-01.

Of course, I can't do it alone.

I'll need help from Joo Hyeon-u and others.

Thank you for the offer,

but that won't be easy.

I know.

But I still want to give it a shot.

I think

this is the only way

to make up for what my father did.

Sister.

Do you want me to make you live a long life?

No, thank you.

Even if you have a lot of money,

you can't extend people's lives.

Yes, I can.

What can't you do with money?

Even if you have a lot of money,

don't do anything against the laws of nature.

Who is it?

Is somebody there?

It's me, Director Lee.

Hello, Director Lee.

I know you're busy.

Thank you for coming.

Don't mention it.

Of course, I should be here.

Sister Sylvia.

You have an opportunity

to live longer.

I already said this before, didn't I?

I'm...

I'm fine.

Sister Sylvia.

Why do you

keep trying to act

like the one up there?

Because the one up in heaven

isn't doing anything.

Do you think

I believe in God because he does things for me?

He's like a chair, you know.

He's like a chair that everyone can rest their tired body on.

We shouldn't...

expect anything from the chair.

Once we do,

he stops being God

and becomes a superstition.

Please, Director Lee.

Be a chair

for those who are in need.

That is how you become like God.

I'm sorry, Sister Sylvia.

I'm not trying to become God.

I'm just trying not to rely on God.

How rude.

You can't just barge into a woman's room early in the morning.

What is it?

Is something wrong?

The hospital...

called.

Sister Sylvia.

Sister Sylvia.

Please don't go.

Please stay a little longer.

Okay.

I understand.

I'm sure...

she's at a better place, right?

No.

I'm sure...

she will come back into this world.

That is how...

Sister Sylvia is.

Stop thinking and get some sleep.

Okay?

What is this?

Color anything you want.

It won't make you think about anything.

COLORING BOOK WOODS OF MYSTERY

Whenever I'm dizzy and tired

coloring one of these calms me down.

It's a good way for me

to forget my thirst for blood too.

Why did you keep it hidden?

Because Hyeon-u...

He would tease me and say

I'm too sensitive.

This looks like the woods in Jeju.

-It looks the same, right? -Yes.

Like what I've said, this made me forget everything.

But it reminded me of one thing.

Yu Chae-eun.

That's why I even colored

everything in pink.

Pink hat, pink shirt...

You're obsessed with pink.

I don't remember it just because the outfit was pretty.

Did I force you to like it?

Is this good?

You have no artistic sense.

Here, use pink.

Pink again?

I guess the black and white movie star is obsessed with pink.

Use red then.

Just give me the pink.

I'll do as you say.

The red is missing.

Are you colorblind?

Ji-sang! Come here!

You little punk.

What is it?

This is an infected person.

An infected person doesn't usually have colors like this.

The red and blue spots are unusually distributed.

He took a drug to change his physical condition.

That means

the drug may be losing its effect.

Right.

The low temperature and normal temperature areas

are dispersed haphazardly.

You little punk.

Why do I feel like I've met him before?

I'm not into hunting,

but he kept hanging out in front of my house.

That's why I captured him.

Wait, I didn't kill him.

I just give him a little sedative.

Actually,

not a little bit. I gave him a lot of it.

He will probably wake up after a few hours.

Why did you bring him to me?

He's after the both of us.

Of course, I have to share the news.

Is that all?

I brought him here for a reason.

Please kill him,

Director Lee.
