ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION, AND INCIDENTS
PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
EPISODE 8
What are you doing?
Let me go.
Inhale enough of this.
You won't be able to endure it without it.
When I had my head underwater,
I didn't see how it would help train me.
But now, I've realized that I owe my instructor big time.
Chief Choi, if this is Director Gu's trap,
Dr. Oh might be just the bait.
So they have another agenda? What could that be?
Me.
It crossed my mind that he kidnapped Dr. Oh
because he's after my artificial eyes.
I'm a rare success case.
I'm ready to jump into their organization.
Are you willing to risk your life?
I'll lure them out, follow them, and bring Dr. Oh out with me.
I will pay them back.
Where are they now?
Hold on.
I can't stand this.
You didn't have a chance to get it treated.
I can disinfect it later. Or I can replace it if it's too damaged.
To me, this comes first.
You seem experienced with this.
A third of my body is artificial skin.
Of course, I'm an expert compared to you.
Try moving it.
It's much better.
Don't overdo yourself until Bradley checks on it.
I'll handle all the physical dangers now.
You're up.
Since you're up, why don't we use this chance to get to know one another?
Here's my first question.
Where's this truck going?
Here's my second question.
What's this sewer smell?
What did you transport?
That's why I told you not to move.
Here's my third question. This is based on what I saw.
Give me a straight answer.
What are you doing with people you kidnap?
Did you laugh?
Then the fourth question is especially for you.
Where's the spray you used on me earlier?
- Here it is. - No.
Now, you can talk?
Spare me.
Spare you?
When people begged you to spare them, have you ever listened to them?
Back to my first question.
Where is this truck going?
You just need your mouth to talk.
What took you so long?
Gwang-cheol!
This won't even leave a scratch.
Why did you break the drone?
It did its duty by saving you.
- Are you all right? - If I rest a bit.
- Where's Tae-woong? - He came with me.
Let's go.
Answer me. Where is the truck going?
Choose.
Will you let your head get blown up or tell me the plate number?
Two, four, seven, eight.
No, it is two, four, seven, nine.
Tae-woong.
- Are you okay? - I can handle it.
He was on watch instead of the drone.
- Were there a lot to take care of? - Not really.
I don't think Gi-beom made it out.
I know.
But he's not an easy match.
We'll focus on our task for now.
Do you know where to go?
I can tell that he does. He's indeed my team leader.
- The roses are in full bloom today. - Right.
- They look beautiful. - Let's put them here.
But I was worried, you know. In case they got cold.
- What about this one? - Over there.
Did you enjoy the festival last time?
Before you sign the contract,
I'd like to hear how you're going to eliminate Hwang Deuk-gu in detail.
Ma'am, how about these plates?
They look beautiful. I like both of them.
I actually picked out a plate. Let me show you.
- Sounds good. - Wait here.
Sure.
What you are--
Why are you doing this?
Kang Gi-beom.
- Kang Gi-beom? - What?
Did you think you wouldn't get caught?
You...
Didn't you know I wanted you dead?
Of course, I knew. I knew it very well.
Then why are you so upset?
What? Were you scared that you'd get killed?
If that's not it,
are you jealous that I was secretly working with him?
What are you
- talking about? - I asked you if you were jealous.
That's a load of crap.
If you wanted, you could've killed me anytime.
Why didn't you?
I doubt that my assets made you hesitate.
I can sort of see why.
It's because you like me.
Get away from her. I'll only warn you once.
Both of you are out of control.
Did you set this up knowing I'd be here?
I hear things, too.
I picked up a few things.
That's right.
Shoot me.
Get rid of that tacky silencer. And just fire it away!
You think I can't?
The staff outside is Chairman Hyeon's.
If word gets out, it won't look so good.
You are a vice-chairman, after all. Behave like one.
Ms. Choi.
I thought it was too heavy for you to carry.
I couldn't find it. I'll be out shortly.
Okay.
What's that jerk, Dr. Oh, doing?
Don't pretend you're innocent.
I'm sure you've seen worse before.
And you've done even worse yourself.
You have
changed a lot.
I didn't change.
I adapted.
I'm sure you'll adapt quickly.
You want me to kill other people in exchange for my life?
Do you think your attempt of urging me to keep my conscience will work?
We've worked for years
making progress and agreeing to the sacrifice.
Don't you dare try to justify murder with sacrifice.
Others must sacrifice for me to survive.
Dr. Oh, you must live, too.
Director Gu!
You just need to complete creating the artificial eyes here.
Only then, you and I can live!
Kidnapping Dr. Oh, luring us into this mess,
and doing all these crazy things
were all to get me?
You won't do it even if you die?
Don't expect me to help you unless it's for rehabilitation purposes.
All right.
Are you saying your artificial eyes are a result of rehabilitation?
Gi-beom was able to survive.
He overcame the fear of death
and side effects he may face his whole life.
His desperate need to live made it possible for him to survive.
Are you saying all the technology I gathered so far
is less than a man's determination?
I only spoke the truth.
You'll be hearing the sounds of your creations
falling apart from everywhere.
What are you planning?
The show starts
in a minute.
The truck with the plate number, 2478, is in a different area.
The truck with the number, 2479, started around where our team started.
I will share the route and the expected destination of the 2479.
Hold on.
It suddenly changed its route.
Let's follow it for now.
They told me the truth.
Their heads were about to explode. Of course, they'd tell the truth.
I would've done the same.
What? No, you would let your head explode.
Look at you. Now that you're confident about your defense,
I guess getting beaten up doesn't scare you anymore.
Definitely.
He makes a good shield.
That was original.
Try to specialize in it and take the lead from now on.
I'm not modest when it comes to my talents.
Just let me handle it.
I'll continue to be the lookout.
Then, I'll trust you guys and get some sleep.
- Step on it. - Okay.
- Hello. - How long will it take?
It's 10,000 won as long as it fits.
Check out these clothes.
This place looks pretty normal to me.
Why did I break the drone?
Gi-beom should be nearby.
- Let's split up and look for him. - Okay.
What? That was a short ride.
Look at you transforming.
What? Are you happy to be back home?
What's his problem?
What the...
Are you okay?
Hey, man.
- What's he doing? - My gosh.
What is his problem?
- There's smoke. - What?
- What's that? - What's going on?
- He's on fire. - What is this?
- What? - What's that smoke?
What a beautiful sight.
CHAIRMAN HYEON
He's finally calling me?
My gosh. It's been a while, Chairman Hyeon.
There's been an explosion at the park on the land that I own.
Is this your doing?
- What will you do if it is? - What?
Why did you ignore my warning?
- Do you know what this land was for? - I sure do.
You and Choi Yong were planning to build an apartment there.
But that plan of yours fell through.
I've decided to build a unique park there.
What do you think will happen if you disagree?
What? Have you lost your mind?
What is this?
Bang!
Kill anyone that gets in the way.
That's just beautiful.
What did they do to you guys this time?
Can you please get off me?
Talk about perfect timing.
Hold on.
It's dangerous. Run!
They blew up?
Yes. Last time, it was just their heads.
Both their strength and explosive power have grown.
Is that possible?
The abnormal thermal reaction must be a side effect.
They're using
their physical energy in one blow, until they turn into ashes.
Then we should deal with them before that happens.
By the way, where are we? I don't think the lab is nearby.
It looks like people are in danger.
Help!
It's time to put my treasure to use.
We need an ambulance.
- Take this guy to the hospital first. - Okay.
Two officers are hurt.
Send us backup and medics.
What's happening?
It's the most trending topic.
Photos and videos of the scene are on social media.
Rugal might be exposed.
Delete them all.
But we can't do anything about clips that weren't uploaded.
We'll keep checking for new posts, but we can't block everything.
They're spreading so quickly. It happened just a few minutes ago.
They're deliberately spreading it.
Sir, some media outlets have already interviewed the victims.
A man showed up and walked up to us.
Then he started drinking water and blew up.
Gosh, I was so scared earlier.
I couldn't hear anything. Maybe it was because of the explosion.
People were screaming,
but it felt so surreal.
Have you seen my kid?
Please help me find my kid.
My kid went to buy something to eat but isn't back yet.
I'm glad you're okay.
We could've gotten rid of them all,
but they suddenly stopped attacking us and ran off.
I don't think they were scared.
I think those test subjects of some sort
are following some kind of order.
Even in the trailer, they suddenly changed and attacked me.
I need to go get some treatment.
He's bleeding.
It's the oil.
The machine is wounded.
There was an explosion at food market,
and the incident left dozens of people injured.
The horrendous aftermath at the scene reminds us of a war zone.
Reporter Bo-reum is reporting from the scene.
Reporter Bo-reum.
Hello. This is Bo-reum from the scene.
A mysterious explosion took place 40 minutes ago.
The police say it was a random attack targeting unspecified people.
Some of the witnesses mentioned
that they saw people who looked like monsters.
Can you tell us more?
One civilian who witnessed the whole incident said
people who were wearing masks fought with men with superhuman strength.
But the police denied it,
saying that the civilians probably saw police officers,
firefighters, and paramedics.
What the hell do you want?
Some kind of order, shall I say?
I'm sure you've done this as a kid. If you want to organize your toys,
you have to take them all out first to start afresh.
All these sacrifices for something stupid like that?
Take him.
Go get some rest too.
But I didn't do anything, Boss.
I brought that idiot here, but you let Min-jun handle him.
I'm your right-hand man,
yet I couldn't take charge on a day like this.
So? Did that hurt your feelings?
Or are you pissed off for being pushed to the sidelines?
- That's not what I meant. - Don't forget this.
We'll lose the big things if we obsess over such little things.
We must never forget
who I used to be.
- Was it you? - No. Us.
And shoot.
I can sort of see why.
It's because you like me.
I will show you
what I'm capable of.
I have no appetite.
We have no idea when Hwang Deuk-gu will act up again.
You had to kill him in one blow.
I'm the one who taught you, but it's not nice to be lectured.
Yes.
Neither of us
should get blood on our hands.
We just need to make them hold the knife.
They'll fight and kill each other.
Exactly.
And we'll live.
Then he's probably dead.
Who?
Never mind. Just someone.
Ye-won, that being said... In my opinion--
- What brings you by at this hour? - You didn't watch the news?
The news? Did something happen?
Gosh, that bastard sent his boys and caused a huge scene at the park.
- "That bastard"? Who? - Hwang Deuk-gu.
I invested so much to build an apartment by the park,
but he totally ruined my plan.
I mean, who'd want to live there now?
My gosh.
Wait until things quiet down.
What?
I make all the decisions.
If you need fast cash, I'll help you out.
Look at you acting all generous with Chairman Ko's money.
It won't last.
If you have another money source, go ahead and mobilize it.
Then your position will be threatened.
You said we should help each other out.
Are you trying to say it's every man for himself now?
Just so you know,
I don't like loud fights.
Is your arm okay?
Yes, it's fine.
But you seem upset.
Earlier at the park,
we saved an injured man and asked the police to take him.
But he was actually a member of Argos disguised as one of the victims.
While I was looking away,
he shot two police officers.
We've seen them do that shit many times.
It's nothing surprising,
but getting blindsided like that just doesn't feel nice.
Right, that's what made me so furious back when I was a detective.
Bastards like them even take advantage of your sincerity.
It was unforgivable.
Exactly.
That's what makes you really angry.
By the way, when did you get that?
When I was young.
- I wanted to get it done. - What?
Oh, to survive?
"This is where I belong."
I thought I needed to separate myself from the world.
They probably didn't let you go easily.
This is how I paid for my sister's life.
Why did you want to join Rugal?
Because it was after me.
I thought I should join the enemy
to completely separate myself from those bastards.
Simple and concise. I like that answer.
When I first came here, your name was all over the news.
"The psychopath cop who murdered people." Things like that?
Even back then, I didn't believe it.
You'd never do such a thing.
I don't open up easily.
Once I trust someone, I totally confide in that person.
I'm the same way.
How about we have some beer when you're done with that?
Sounds good.
Hey, "Made by Bradley." It was awesome.
Gosh, that's nothing.
I made other things too. I'll show you later.
"Later"? Why later? Show me now.
Okay, I'll show you.
Okay, aim.
Here I go.
One, two, three!
You saw that?
That's like a lion's roar.
If it works properly,
you can completely destroy your enemy with it.
Okay, it's a keeper. What's next?
- Something else? - Yes.
Jeez, you're such a gearhead.
Hey, are you ready to spend some cash?
- Of course. - Right, you're rich.
- Okay, I'll show you. - Go.
It'll take a while for the wound to close up.
You know I'm not patient.
Wait until you're recovered.
I can still work.
It's not like we have time to waste.
You're strong enough. You don't need to act all tough.
Had I actually been strong enough,
I would've beat them all up and dragged Hwang by the collar.
And I'm sure you were hoping for that, deep down.
I'm always grateful to you.
After my father passed away,
everyone pitied me.
But you were always tough on me.
To be honest, it hurt my feelings at first.
But I quickly realized
that I had to be tough to survive.
And that I must survive to get back at those bastards.
You had to digest all those emotions by yourself.
POLICE UNIVERSITY
No...
Gosh.
Dad.
Dad...
Why was my dad
working at this university lab instead of the police station?
What the heck was he working on?
And why did he die?
Your dad
had volunteered to lead
the police's secret experiment.
As you can see, it failed.
The test subject who fled
killed him.
His funeral will be kept confidential
and done quietly.
Because he's a failure, his death must be kept a secret?
But he worked for the police.
What about him who killed my dad?
We'll do our best to track down the culprit,
but it was a classified project.
The investigation will be sacrificed to keep it hidden--
You won't do your best in catching the culprit?
Then I'll find the bastard who killed him myself.
Making a move before you're strong enough
will only hurt you.
Then wait and see
how much I get hurt.
Name?
Name, you prick!
Hey, let's grab a cup of coffee sometime.
Have a good one.
At first, I ignored your warning and took matters into my own hands.
It led to my demise.
Then I made a vow in front of you.
I will never let my emotions sway me again.
If only I was a human weapon though.
If I'm injured again,
please make me part-robot like the others.
- Being too strong could break you. - I'm not afraid of that.
- Mi-na... - But still, you worry about me.
I guess it proves your lack of trust in me.
That's not it.
Then say this instead.
"Get well soon.
We still have a lot to do.
I need you out there."
That's right.
I need you for many tasks to come.
Guys, why do you all seem depressed?
Here.
What is all this?
Tell me if these aren't enough. I have them stashed all over the place.
Tae-woong, there's one in the back too.
I wonder about your past when you do things like this.
Rich, fancy, and super stylish.
That's who I was.
Does the rich keep stashes of snacks around?
You can call it being well-prepared.
Jeez.
I don't appreciate being mocked for my generosity,
but I'll let it go as the mama bird.
All right. Let's drink then.
Thanks.
Mi-na astonishes me every time I think about her.
- This is out of the blue. - When she was kidnapped,
she took on nine men.
Right. And they weren't some hillbillies.
She doesn't have any mechanical improvements like us.
She didn't have extra help.
She's fearless.
- Has she always been this way? - She used to be even more reckless.
Anyway, she's the strongest woman I know.
I can rely on her. I want to lean on her.
You can't always be strong.
We still don't know where Dr. Oh is, so let's not lose our focus.
- Got it. - Sure.
Tae-woong, you were right.
I should've killed him.
Talk about perfect timing.
Let's not let those bastards spread depression upon us.
We'll pay them back with interest.
You know,
they were out of there in a hurry like they were controlled.
The enhanced soldiers probably went back to the lab.
What more can they be up to?
Now that they can use Dr. Oh,
the damage will be even greater.
We must blow up Hwang's lab first.
If you're going to go in there,
count me in too.
Sure thing.
Where did she go?
Hey, Mi-na.
What's this?
Had some beer?
Yes, with the guys yesterday. How did you know?
Because I know you inside out.
Wait, "with the guys"?
So you guys are having fun without me?
Alcohol is bad for your recovery, so don't be upset.
Still, I thought my pretty face would help you get better.
You're annoying me.
Jeez.
I'm all better now.
Not according to Susan.
I know myself better.
Like always, you have everything under control.
No wonder the guys trusted you.
Trusted me with what?
Even when you were kidnapped and in danger,
we were able to calmly plan our next move.
Because they trusted that you'd find a way to stay alive.
What do you mean by that?
Tae-woong!
Take it. It's Gi-beom.
Why didn't he call HQ?
Well, it's a long story,
but his eyes stopped streaming live after blacking out.
Things seem urgent.
Gi-beom, did you blackout?
Why? What's going on? Are you okay?
Keep it down, will you?
We need to be careful about this.
- Chief Choi can't know. - Speak, Gi-beom.
I'm close to where Mi-na was taken.
Once I get there, I'll be handing over this phone.
You'll give up your connection to Choi Ye-won?
We'll have to offer a decent deal to get what we want.
Won't you end up in danger too?
You need to come before that happens. I can't handle it myself.
Got it.
This is a chance to get close to Hwang Deuk-gu.
It seems like a worthy gamble. What do you say?
Wherever you are, we'll close in on you.
Gi-beom, just stay alive.
Sure, I'll see you soon.
So you used me being kidnapped to make a strategic move?
It was an awesome one as well,
but the bastards went the other way.
We succeeded halfway.
For whatever reason,
we found out that Choi Ye-won could be Hwang Deuk-gu's weakness.
I doubt this is the time to share our thoughts,
but I'm glad that I could be of help.
Next time, I'll come up with a more meticulous plan.
I'd appreciate an upgrade in the escape plan.
Of course.
Mi-na, focus on recovery first.
Got it.
Don't you need prior approval for a terror attack of this size?
Now that a different man is in charge,
the details of the contract should change.
That's bold of you.
We can't be controlled with carrots and sticks anymore.
Consider this as my message.
No. It's my declaration.
Are we clear?
You're very close to crossing the line.
As if I've ever stayed within lines.
Those freaks made by the government?
I know very well that their purpose is to handle Argos.
That is why I wanted to make a stand.
The damage will keep multiplying. You think you can handle it?
Stop it right away.
It's what you get for crossing the line.
From now on,
things will get more entertaining.
Mun-bok, did you sleep here again?
I was too busy writing up reports of the Argos members arrested at the fair.
No one's admitting to anything.
Take it easy, okay?
I would if I could.
What the fuck!
- What? - Holy shit!
What the hell?
- What... - What is that?
- What's that? - Is that a person?
He seems to be dead.
Hold on.
What's the matter?
- Are you okay? - Look over there!
- What the hell? - It's a dead person.
- My gosh. - Hello?
Yes, someone's hanging from the bridge.
- Over there. - What's going on?
- Shit. - Unbelievable.
Quickly. Take a photo when you can.
- What the hell? - No way.
- Shit. - Can you believe it?
- Take a photo. - Who could've done this?
Bastards.
They won't stop playing dirty.
I WAS KILLED BY THE SICK MURDERER KANG GI-BEOM
"The sick murderer Kang--"
- We must take that down. - Stay inconspicuous.
My memories are shaky and my emotions are changing often.
We found where Dr. Oh is.
I will put him on the game board and play with him.
How can I kill people who don't die even if I kill them?
I'll just make them want to die.
Run away. People know that you are alive.
The real criminal is the person who is standing in the center of all this.
I can't end things like this.
