All members, evacuate to a safe zone immediately.
We have to get out of here!
-Activating gate closure. -What's happening?
Hurry!
-Come on! -What's going on?
We have to go!
Warning. Thermoregulator anomaly detected.
All members, evacuate to a safe zone immediately.

All members, evacuate to a safe zone immediately.
Activating gate closure.
Hey! Open the damn gate!
Why are you doing this?
Who's in charge?
Close the gate.
Please help us!
Close the gate!
Did you want to see me?
Is there a chance that any of the crew members at Balhae Station
will survive?
Sorry?
Never mind.
Let me know as soon as you have an update.
Yes, ma'am.
THE SILENT SEA
So she really doesn't die even if she comes in contact with lunar water?
It looks like it.
The lunar water has similar characteristics to viruses.
Viruses continuously evolve as they come in contact with humans.
It seems like there was a change after it came in contact with her,
contact with something unknown in her body.
Researchers at Balhae Station
chose to study genetic recombination or cell fusion
to make humans adapt to the lunar water.
And Luna must be an organism created
during the process.
Human experimentation using clones
is a criminal activity.
So the station was shut down five years ago
because the government was more focused on
hiding what happened here rather than retrieving the lunar water.
If it had gotten out, it would've made a mess.
It's considered a serious act of treason to disclose state secrets
you come to know during a mission.
Even if we say we won't speak of this,
do you think the higher-ups will believe us?
We'll be under surveillance for the rest of our lives,
or even end up dead like the crew members here!
That's why Director Choi chose me.
She probably thought I wouldn't be able to disclose
the atrocities my sister committed as the chief researcher here.
What happened to Ryu Taesuk?
We have to get out of here. Something doesn't seem right.
What do you mean?
A shaft blew up while I was engaged with him,
and it was filled with water.
Dr. Song.
What's wrong?
Dr. Song!
What's wrong?
Dr. Song.
Open the door.
Open it.
I'm sorry.
Are you sick?
Dr. Song!
Wait, I…
Dr. Song!
What's the problem? Open up!
Open the door, Dr. Song!
Jian.
I thought it was something I had to do
for the sake of everyone's future.
Excuse me. Over here. Hey…
Close the gate.
Excuse me!
We have to get out of here!
-Where are you going? -Help us!
Help!
What's happening?
Jian.
I wanted to show you the sea.
Jian.
-Are you okay? -What happened?
You were infected with the lunar water,
but your symptoms are getting better.
I think
her mutated genes
act as a sort of antibody.
It suppresses the multiplication of the lunar water in your body.
Or you might have just been lucky.
I'll have to keep my eyes on you.
I think she might be able to save us all.
Luna.
What?
That's her name.
Luna.
The co-pilot and Lieutenant Ryu
were both working with RX.
Let's go to Gate Seven.
Shouldn't we wait until our backup arrives?
We have no time.
I need to get in touch with Mr. Kim.
The backup from SAA has entered the landing orbit.
Just as you mentioned,
we spotted another spacecraft also entering orbit around the same time.
It's probably a small transport starship often used by RX mercenaries.
We need more time to retrieve the capsules.
We'll have no way of saving them once RX mercenaries arrive.
Please give us a hand in delaying their spacecraft from landing.
Yes, I…
-Yes, I understand. -What will happen to Luna?
What will happen to her after she's brought to Earth?
Lunar water and Subject 073 do not officially exist in this world.
She'll be sent to a grade one facility at the Ministry of National Defense.
And our government
will continue with the experiments conducted there.
That's too dangerous.
The lunar water is still very unstable.
It can put the entire Earth in danger.
And if she's sent there,
Luna will only be used as a tool to study the lunar water.
What about my request?
Unfortunately,
Director Choi holds a strong political position,
so everyone is hesitant to step up.
What is he talking about?
Captain Han asked me to contact
a higher official who can keep Director Choi under control.
The lunar water and Subject 073 cannot be monopolized by anybody.
Captain Han and I agreed upon that.
Thankfully, more people in the SAA
are starting to see the problem in this.
I will come up with a measure
before you return to Earth.
The International Institute of Space Biology.
We cannot return to Earth.
The IISB.
We should be safe there.
This must be studied in a neutral area
to stop anybody from monopolizing the lunar water.
I'll take Luna there myself.
First, we'll take the capsules from Ryu Taesuk
and lead the rescue ship to Gate Seven.
Stay away, you freaking bastard.
People have to know why Soochan died.
It's a location tracker.
Just in case.
You should give it to her yourself.
If you press this,
I'll fly over to save you.
Wow.
That means I can always come home thanks to you.
That's right.
Can I come with you?
I want to see the Moon too.
Once I get back, I'll never go away again. I promise.
Liar.
I'm not lying.
Once I get back, I'm going to teach you how to swim.
Swim?
It's a way to move freely underwater, like fish.
But fish are all dead.
She's not wary of you anymore.
Everything is ready.
We can leave now.
If she goes to Earth,
she'll die in a lab.
People won't give up on the lunar water.
Her fate won't be any different no matter where she goes.
Luna is coming to Earth with us.
You're calling her Luna now.
Just as you said, we're desperate,
and we end up making the wrong decisions.
And those decisions always come with a price.
We cannot repeat the same mistake.
The only choice I can make right now
is to complete this mission for my daughter's sake.
Hey.
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
What's she doing?
Luna, what's wrong?
Luna.
I think she wants us to follow her.
Call her back here. This is the fastest route to Gate Seven.
Let's follow her.
Let's follow Luna.
I'm sure there is a reason for her behavior.
Water. Run!
Let's go.
Luna!
-This way. -Hurry!
What's wrong?
Ryu Taesuk.
You've been infected.
It's over.
I keep seeing their faces.
-What? -I didn't want to do it.
I really didn't want to.
-Taesuk, don't-- -Stay away from me!
You knew everything, didn't you?
You knew what we did.
Why did you pretend not to know?
Why did you do that?
Why?
Lieutenant Ryu, why are you doing this?
We don't deserve the lunar water.
I'm sorry, Dr. Song.
I'm sorry, Dr. Song. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Dr. Song.
We have to get out of here now!
Your rescue ship isn't coming.
-Let's get this over with. -Yes, sir.
-Please help us. -What's going on?
-Help us. -Put down your weapons. Please.
Ryu Taesuk, what are you doing? Close the gate.
Ryu Taesuk!
Close the gate!
Ryu Taesuk!
We didn't save anybody.
It wasn't part of the plan to begin with.
Lieutenant Ryu.
Doc Hong, shut the door!
Chief Gong.
There's no time. I don't think I can hold out for long.
Are you okay?
Ryu Taesuk.
Luna!
Captain, we must get to the airlock now.
Chief Gong.
Stay with me.
Stay with me, Chief Gong.
Don't fall asleep.
You can't fall asleep.
Stay with me.
You're all good now. Let's go.
Chief Gong.
Get ready to go.
PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN AIRLOCK DEPRESSURIZATION
Where are you?
What are you doing?
You should go first.
No.
No, we can't.
You said we'd go back together!
No, wait. Open this.
Hold on! Stop this thing!
You said you'd complete this mission for your daughter!
No, you…
Captain! You can't stay here!
Wherever Luna goes…
please be there with her.
No…
Don't do this.
Luna.
We have to go.
Where are you?
Luna.
She's not here.
I don't see her.
Luna.
Survivors have been rescued and samples secured.
What condition are they in?
Yet to confirm.
Have a safe flight back.
